The Daily Tar HeelMonday, April 24, 19895 Alummsmi urge use of 'University of North Carolina' name ' By RHETA LOGAN -Staff Writer IA General Alumni Association -GAA) proposal to omit the "at Chapel Hill" from UNC-CH is no closer to becoming a reality, but G A A ; members say they will take steps to encourage use of the University's original name. ;';'We haven't really done anything ''to get it (the proposal) accomplished yet," said Tom Lambeth, chairman of the task force and GAA president-elect. "We suggested that in the future it (the name) could be changed, . . . but we didn't really give a timetable." . .The proposal would require : approval from the Board of Gover nors and the N.C. General Assembly to become a resolution, Lambeth said. The BOG has seen the report but taken no action yet, said Douglas Dibbert, GAA president. Lambeth said he would suggest to tjie GAA that the "at Chapel Hill" Be' officially dropped from the asso ciation's use of the name. "Whenever we indicate our name, we would say we are representatives of the Univer sity of North Carolina.

The proposal was prompted by confusion between UNC-CH, other UNC institutions and the 16-member UNC system, Lambeth said. "Many people think that things that refer to the UNC system also refer to UNC-CH." The association also suggested the change because the "University of North Carolina" was the University's original name, Lambeth said. "The proposal (came from) a sense of pride for what was created at the end of the 18th century. The only UNC institution that doesn't have its own identity is the original one." Because returning to the original name would cause confusion between the University and the UNC system, which is also called the University of North Carolina, Lambeth proposed changing the system's name, too. The system could be called "The North Carolina University system" or "The University of North Carolina system," he said. A change in the University's name would not affect the names of other UNC institutions, Lambeth said. "We made a point that they don't have to change their names." Lambeth said he did not think the name change would make the other members of the UNC system feel like "second-class citizens." "Most of those institutions are proud of their origins. They are very secure in their own heritages." But some of the institutions said the name change may threaten the cohesiveness of the UNC system. "We all are constituent elements of the University system," said Al Lanier, vice chancellor for university relations at N.C. State University. "In order to keep those elements distinct . . . they all need to have the same identification." Other institutions said that UNC has enough recognition as the first state university and that the name change would not bring additional respect. "The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is regarded by everyone as the premier university," said George Bair, assistant to the chan cellor at UNC-Wilmington. "It already has prestige to an extraor dinary degree, and a change in its name would not give it more." Defining each institution's unique qualities would be the best way to clear up confusion between UNC CH, the institutions and the UNC system, said Chancellor Ken Sanford of UNC-Charlotte. "If all the campuses would empha size their distinctives, that would do a good job clarifying the universities," he said. UNCC has recently adopted a new logo to make it stand out from the other institutions, Sanford said.
