leader as a redshirt sophomore, was

University police and charged with
breaking and entering and larceny for
the theft of nine textbooks from a

teammate Bernard Timmons, who

of proposed fee hike
By JEFF ECKARD
Staff Writer
-;In an effort to discourage any
increases in student fees not aimed
at internal University improvements,
Student Congress passed a resolution
Wednesday night asking the Board
of Trustees to reject a proposed $25
fee increase intended to improve on
campus bus service.
"The fee increase doesn't benefit all
students," said Jurgen Buchenau
(Dist. 3). "The increase would mainly
go to the expansion of the Chapel
Hill Transit System, and I am ada
mantly opposed to raising student
fees without consulting with them."
' The responsibility of running the
transit system belongs to the town of
Chapel Hill and to its users, and all
of the users are not students, Buche
nau said. Chapel Hill has not deter
mined what percentage of transit
users are students, he said.
"Their guess of 85 percent is a paper
tiger. Even if that were true, then why
let all students pay for on-campus
transportation? It is a blatant injustice
to students who live off campus and
already pay hundreds of dollars to
park on campus."
Any attempts to raise student fees
should go to making improvements

Jon Swanson, the owner of the
stolen books, said he saw and rec
ognized Martin in his suite just before
the theft occurred in 220 Ehringhaus.
"I live in one of the front rooms,"
Swanson said. "That night, at about
five to 12, I was in one of the back
rooms (of the suite) with some boys
playing cards, and Kennard sticks his
head around the corner asking for
George Hicks room. That's my RA."
After Martin was told Hicks lived
in an adjacent suite, Martin lingered
in the doorway for a few seconds
before leaving, Swanson said. MHe

would consider other options and use
the delay only as a last resort because
it would cause so many problems.
University Provost Dennis O'Con
nor said the University would con
sider other alternatives to save
money, such as conserving summer
utilities like air conditioning or
curtailing library and computer
hours. "We are looking at a lot of
different things, but none arc free
from the impact of students, faculty
and staff."
Summer school will probably not
be affected because it generates its
own operating costs from tuition, and
UNC system, violates the constitu
tional rights of free expression and
association, said Daniel Pollitt,
Kenan professor of law at UNC.
A similar attempt to halt funding
to the Gay and Lesbian Students
Association at the University of
Arkansas failed because it violated
the organization's right to free speech,
said Linda Lovell, legal coordinator
and former president of the
organization.
When the group attempted to
receive University funding in 1983,
within the University itself, such as
faculty pay, he said.
The fee, which the Board of
Trustees (BOT) will vote on April 28,
is included in the recommendations
by the Chancellor's Ad Hoc Com
mittee on Parking. If the BOT
approves the fee, the Board of
Governors (BOG) will have to pass
it before it takes effect next year.
The $25 increase would help make
transit more available to students.
The transit system would be able to
run more buses for longer periods of
time and to add routes to its schedule.
The Chapel Hill Transit System
operates all buses that serve the
campus, and the University pays it
$1 million per year. This money,
which comes from parking fees
collected from faculty and staff
members, will still be given to the
transit system even if the fee is
enacted.
Congress also adopted a bill to loan
the University $10,000 because of
recent budget cuts from the Office of
Management and Budget in Raleigh.
The University cannot accept the
loan because the N.C. General
Assembly must approve any loans to

Editor's Note: This is the last of
three articles examining low faculty
salries and poor benefits at UNC.
By WILL SPEARS

Below par salaries and benefits for
UNC faculty members make the
University highly vulnerable to "raid
ing" by many comparable institu
tions, , according to some faculty
members.
Institutions in need of quality
faculty members will simply recruit
them from UNC because it is so easy
to do.
"Raiding does exist," said Richard
Shiff, former assistant chairman of
the art history department. "I was
raided. I know several people who
have been raided." Shiff left UNC
after last semester to accept a position
at the University of Texas at Austin.
Raiding is definitely a reality at
UNC, although proving it is difficult,
said Harry Gooder, chairman pro
tern of the Faculty Council. "I'm sure
that at the moment we're becoming
increasingly aware of it. It's hard to
document that. Youll never find out
it's true, but there's certainly enough
rumor that we're ; on the list of
raidable universities."
Low salaries allow other universi
ties to raid UNC's faculty in the
political science department, said
Richard Richardson, chairman of the
department.
"I do know some universities think

tors agree that this must be consi

effect.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor
and dean of student affairs, said
delaying school should not occur
because of the number of school days
already eliminated for fall and spring
breaks. "I think we should add a
couple of days back." Other admin
istrators agree that a late fall semester
start would be a last resort, he said.
"It would be a tremendous job to
tell everybody about it (the delay),"
Boulton said.
Conservation practices, such as
that year, reversing the decision of
the district judge.
"What is at issue here is not the
constitutional status of sexual pref
erences, but speech on the subject of
non-discrimination," Judge Arnold
said in his written argument for the
organization.
In November 1988, the group
received $200 from the university,
Lovell said.

UNC faculty members must be
paid higher salaries if raiding is to
be stopped, Shiff said. "The easiest
indicator is salary, and UNC is not
competetive in salaries. Support
structure and benefits are terrible.
