Committee works to prepare

The Chancellor's Food Service
Advisory Committee is in the final
stages of deliberation over its recom
mendation to Chancellor Paul Har
din concerning on-campus food
service contracts, officials said
Tuesday.
The advisory committee will meet
Thursday to finish discussion on the
possible elimination of the manda
tory $100 meal plan for on-campus
students and to prepare its
recommendation.
Members of the advisory commit
tee said the recommendation would
probably not include elimination of
the $100 meal plan because the
committee includes "'rrtore faculty

UNC Cystic Fibrosis Center
receives $2.5 million grant
By GENIE WALKER
Staff Writer
.Researchers at UNC Medical
Center have received a $2.5 million
grant from the National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute to continue
research on finding a cure and new
treatment of cystic fibrosis.
This five-year grant was awarded
to UNC because of its extensive work
in the field. UNC's medical team
involved in the research is composed
of 50 people, 16 of whom are faculty
members.
' "UNC has been studying the
disease for some time and is one of
the largest groups of researchers in
the country studying this illness," said
Mike Wagner, associate director of
institutional relations.
' Dr. James Yankaskas, assistant
professor of medicine, said that the
UNC Cystic Fibrosis Center had

McLean's long-range plans include
building campus support for the
creation of a new Black Cultural
Center and changing the name of the
Office of Student Counseling to
Minority Affairs Office. But these
plans will not be pursued until next
semester, she said.

side the Student Union on March
16. She asked that calls for rescue
units be cancelled. Police went
through a list of phone numbers
at her request to find someone to
help her to her residence. Donald
Boulton, vice chancellor and dean
of student affairs, was contacted
and assisted at the scene.

a suspicious vehicle on Pittsboro
Street at 2:20 a.m. on March 16.
The driver had previously been
issued a trespass warning. Police
checked his identification and

The man was released.

said. When the front doors are
reopened, part of the wall in the Pit
will be removed.
Reopening the center of the store
should improve business, Tufts said.
"It has not been a good year. Profits
have been about 10 percent to 20
percent below the usual income. We
only expected a 10 percent loss."
Once construction began, the
renovation process proceeded with no
major problems, he said. "Little
things have come up like an electric
outlet needed here or extra tile there."
Edward Willis, director of con
points the committee felt needed to
be changed for on-campus food
services to function more efficiently,
including elimination of the manda
tory $100 meal plan for on-campus
students.
James Cansler, chairman of the
advisory committee, and Thomas
Shetley, director of auxiliary services,
submitted a plan to improve UNC
food services earlier in January.
Both proposals include recommen
dations to consolidate the Marriott
food service contract with the athletic
concessions contract now held by
Ogden Food Services.
The advisory committee wants to
send Hardin its recommendation
soon because the athletic concessions
contract will be open for bids within
the next few months, said Geoff
Cunfer, a student member of the
committee.
The main issues to be decided are
done vigorous research in cystic
fibrosis since 1982, and that this new
grant would be an extension of the
existing program. Because of UNC's
experience in the field, the institution
was chosen over other programs
considered for the grant, he said.
"The quality of our proposal and
the intensity of our work gave us a
relative advantage," he said.
Wagner said UNC was working
with several groups around the world
to research cystic fibrosis.
"This is a cooperative effort
between UNC, University of Mich
igan, The Sick Children's Hospitial
in Toronto and St. Mary's Medical
School in London," Wagner said.
The research now under way
focuses on finding the gene respon
sible for the lung disease and then

RH A, BSM to fill minority affairs post
By NANCY WYKLE
Staff Writer
The presidents of the Residence
Hall Association (RHA) and the
Black Student Movement (BSM) will
select a student to act as an executive
assistant for minority affairs on the
RHA Board sometime in the near
future.
"The executive assistant will make
sure we notice and remember signi
ficant minorities any minority,"
RHA President-elect Liz Jackson
said Tuesday.
The executive position was created
by current RHA President Jimmy
Randolph last year.
The position will not necessarily be
filled by someone from the BSM,
Jackson said. The executive assistant
will attend both BSM and RHA
meetings and represent other minor
ities on campus, she said.

struction administration, said con
structing a new center staircase took
the most time.
"The construction on the area
around the staircase included a lot
of structural work," he said.
Tufts said construction workers
discovered a problem in the building's
original structure. "The one problem
we found was with one of the support
beams in the middle section of the
original building, but that has been
repaired."
The most expensive feature that
will be added to the stores will be
whether to eliminate the $100 man
datory meal plan for on-campus
students and whether Marriott
should take over snack bars now run
by UNC Student Stores, Cunfer said.
Most faculty members of the
advisory committee oppose the elim
ination of the mandatory meal plan,
but student members support the
plan's elimination, Cunfer said.
The advisory committee will prob
ably not recommend the elimination
of the mandatory meal plan, Cunfer
said. "Even if we do recommend to
eliminate the mandatory meal plan,
chances are that the chancellor would
not do so because of pressure from
Marriott and faculty." .
Student Stores is concerned about
the revenue it would lose if Marriott
takes over Student Stores snack bars,
Cunfer said. Student Stores contrib
utes about $500,000 to student
scholarships.
the prevention of the disease, Wagner
said.
Richard Boucher, professor of
medicine and director of the center,
said the gene has not yet been located,
but he said he believed it may be
discovered within the next year.
"It is important to realize that
locating the gene has been a race for
years," Yankaskas said. "But once the
gene is found, it is not the solution
for cystic fibrosis; rather, a milestone,
with years of research still to go."
New research under the grant will
build on and expand the work already
instituted, Yankaskas said. This
research will contribute to treating
individuals already afflicted with the
disease, as well as searching for the
cause, he said.
Twenty years ago many of the
resources and research of cystic
fibrosis were limited, being centered
primarily on children, Yankaskas
said. In the last decade, UNC has built
a major resource center.
"This grant represents a show of
support for a highly committed
research team to work even harder
on a very important problem,"
Yankaskas said.

Minorities have not been active in
residence hall government or RHA,
she said. The executive assistant will
help combat this problem by trying
to recruit interested students.
"Recruitment will not only be
directed at minorities, but everyone,"
Jackson said. "The emphasis will be
oh minorities, though."
Derrick Watson, a freshman BSM
member, said black students are not
involved in residence hall government
because of apathy from both blacks
and RHA members and because of
negative attitudes on campus.
"It is a step in the right direction
to appoint an executive assistant," he
said. "But before any change can
happen, attitudes on campus must
change."
BSM vice president Tonya Blanks
said that according to percentages,
blacks are inadequately represented

"The sprinkler system is being added

Hopefully it will be one feature we

Another large expense was the

asbestos was so low in content that

Programs sponsored by the resi

blacks, Jackson said. "A lot of
programs are just not interesting to
blacks."
As a short-range goal, the executive

more included in the residence hall
if they have more control of what is
