Lecture series to discuss
education in democracy
By JOANNA DAVIS
Staff Writer
A lecture series on education
and its importance in an effective
democracy will begin at 7:30 p.m.
today in Hanes Art Center with
a speech by Hazel Henderson,
author and social philosopher.
Henderson, a supporter of clean
air legislation, will lead a discus
sion on global cooperation and
how individuals can make a dif
ference in world humanitarian
efforts.
Tonight's presentation is the
first of a series of lectures titled
We the People: Education for
Participation in a Democracy,"
which will run through May 13.
The lecture series is sponsored
by the North Carolina Center for
Peace Education (NCCPE) and
the North Carolina Educators for
Social Responsibility (NC-ESR).
Arthur Scherer, co-founder and
development director of NCCPE,
said the lecture series is designed
"to counteract a fairly pervasive
attitude that the individual can't
do much in relation to society's
problems.
"It is for the general public from
junior high students to the very
old. It is especially pertinent to
educators. By that I mean those
who work to help people."
The lectures will discuss the
conflicts between today's rapidly
changing values and the disputes
between traditional and emerging
ideals and beliefs.
NCCPE is a grass-roots organ
ization begun in 1984 by a group
of teachers who wanted to teach
children how to take action on

English department, said a two-week
delay was inconceivable. "We're

COMMENCEMENT TRADITIONS
One of the major goals of the Class of 1989 has been to
keep and revitalize worthwhile Carolina traditions.
SENIOR DAY
In past years, Senior Day was an extremely popular student event, a day
when graduating seniors come together for one last fling, a time to reminisce
and to revel in the fact that they were finally going to graduate. Unlike the more
solemn Commencement ceremony, Senior Day was the day to celebrate the
occasion.
The Class of '89 is bringing back this tradition with Senior Day '89, to be held
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, on Ehringhaus Field. Lunch will be
available for purchase. For lunch reservations call 962-1989, 962-0045. Three
local progressive rock bands will perform: Mary On The Dash, The Veldt and
Dillon Fence. Senior artwork will be displayed and the Senior poem will be
read. All degree candidates and their families, alumni, and UNC faculty and
staff are invited to attend. An ID will be required. (For more information on
Senior Day '89, call the Senior Class Office, 962-1989).
COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
Historically, the Commencement Exercise has been both a joyous and
solemn occasion for the University. It's a day of great pride as faculty and staff
join with graduating students and their families and friends to see the culmina
tion of their years of hard work and happy memories. The Commencement
Committee asks for your help in making this a happy, special day for all
participants.
HONORARY DEGREES
The tradition of awarding honorary degrees again will be a part of the
Commencement ceremony. The recipients, selected by our faculty, are persons
of significant achievement who have given distinguished service to the
University, the state and the nation.
AWARDING DEGREES
Traditionally, the recipients of doctoral degrees, the highest degree awarded
by the University, are given spedal recognition during the ceremony. They are
called to the platform, acknowledged individually and presented with their
degrees. In the interest of time, master's, professional and undergraduate
degree candidates are recognized as a group.
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
Representatives of the Senior Class traditionally select the Commencement
speaker. This year's speaker is Roger Mudd, who received a Master's Degree in
American History from UNC in 1953.
Mr. Mudd, a noted TV journalist, was a longtime news correspondent for
CBS. In 1980, he moved to NBC as Chief Washington and Senior Political
Correspondent, co-anchor of the nightly news and co-host of "Meet the Press."
Mr. Mudd is currren tly a Congressional Correspondent for the "MacNeil
Lehrer NewsHour" on PBS.
The officers and members of the Senior Class of 1989 are pleased to welcome
Mr. Mudd and other Commmencement participants.
TASSLES
Students awarded degrees beginning this year have a special tassle as part of
their academic attire. The official seal of the University's Bicentennial Obser
vance is attached to the clip that holds the tassel.
Although the offidalBicentennial Observance begins in October 1993 and
concludes 16 months later in February 1995, the introduction of the special
tassel this year commemorates the unique place in Carolina history of those
receiving degrees in 1989. This year is the 200th year of the University's charter.
HARK THE SOUND
One of the final and most meaningful traditions of the ceremony is the
singing of "Hark the Sound." This will be the last time that your class, the Class
of '89, will sing the alma mater as a class.

humanitarian issues, Scherer said.
NC-ESR is a national organi
zation of parents and teachers
which instructs students in the
skills necessary to face the chal
lenges of living in the nuclear age.
Henderson and the other speak
ers participating in the lecture
series will focus, on education as
a tool for promoting tolerance,
cooperation and understanding.
Each session meeting will begin
at 7 p.m., and Saturday discus
sions will begin at 8:30 p.m.
On Apr. 29, Shelly Berman,
president of NC-ESR, will discuss
the importance of developing a
social consciousness in youth.
Beverly Jones, professor of
history at North Carolina Central
University and director of the
Institute on Desegregation, will
speak on May 2 on education and
race relations. Jones was the first
black woman to receive a doctoral
degree from UNC-CH.
Rep. David Price, D-N.C. 4th
District, will discuss developing a
sense of community in the class
room and society on Saturday,
May 6. Prior to being elected to
Congress, Price taught political
science and public policy at Duke
University.
Issues on gender and ethical
development will be discussed on
May 9 by Elizabeth Dodson Gray,
coordinator of the Theological
Opportunities Program at Har
vard Divinity School.
Vernie Davis, associate profes
sor at Guilford College, will
complete the lecture sessions with
a discussion on resolving social
conflicts.

The department is already cutting
back on paper, Flora said. To have
an English department without paper
is pretty bad."
Further cuts, including a late start,
would force each department to alter
its curriculum, Flora said. "I hate to
think of students being crunched in
this."

Assistant University Editor
The Board of Trustees (BOT) will
devote a large part of its Friday
meeting to the recognition of campus
student leaders, but several important
issues, including a proposed $25
increase in student fees, will go before
the board, officials said Wednesday.
"We're bringing the meeting to the
students," said Robert Eubanks,
chairman of the BOT. "The real focus
of the meeting is to recognize the
students."
The meeting will be held at 1 1 a.m.
in Gerrard Hall to allow a large
number of students to attend,
Eubanks said. Elected student offi

Staff Writer
Plans to build a permanent Black
Cultural Center (BCC) at UNC are
progressing, said members of the
BCC Planning . Committee
Wednesday.
The center, which is now in the
Student Union, needs more space,
said Margo Crawford, BCC director.
Although there has been discussion
about moving the center to Chase
Hall, a move there would probably
not be permanent, she said.
Raiding
to increase state salaries, an increase
in pay scale is in the hands of the
legislature, Gooder said.
Although the administration has a
clear understanding of the problem,
the legislature may not, Richardson
said. "Morale is low. This is having
an impact all through the system. I
dont think the legislature under
stands the magnitude of the problem
or knows the solution, because the
solution will cost money."
The psychology department has
already lost two faculty members this
year, and three to four are actively
being recruited by other universities
said David Galinsky, department
chairman. Before this year, the
department had not lost a senior
member to another institution in 10
years, he said. .
"A number of our senior people
are being wooed and recruited by
other institutions with salaries far
beyond that available at this
institution."
If the University continues to be
raided, the results could be disastrous
to departmental recruiting, Gooder
said. "As long as we have been able
to keep a core of distinguished faculty
at UNC we have been able to attract
the good, younger faculty. However,
if we lose that core of faculty, in a
number of disciplines, we won't
continue to get those strong, younger
faculty members. And then we're
back to where we were years ago."

1989 COMMENCEMENT INFORMATION
The 187th Commencement
The University of North Carolina At Chapel Hill
To ALL Degree Candidates:
COMMENCEMENT
WEEKEND 1989
Commencement Weekend is Friday, May
12, through Sunday, May 14, 1989. All
graduating seniors and all graduate and
professional degree candidates are urged to
participate in the Graduation Exercises which
will be held on Sunday, May 14, beginning at
10:30 AM. in Kenan Stadium. The under
graduate Academic Procession will form
behind the north (visitors) side of Kenan
Stadium (outside of Gate 2). Degree candidates
will process down through the north stands,
using several aisles, cross the field and proceed
into the reserved sea ting sections on the south
side of Kenan Stadium. All Masters, PH.D.,
and professional degree candidates should
report to the designated areas near the north
corner of Kenan Heldhouse and then process
across the field, following the faculty, into the
reserved seating area on the south side of
Kenan Stadium.
A construction and landscaping project
will be underway on the concourse areas of
Kenan Stadium-just inside Gate 2, on the north
side and just inside Gate 6, on the south side.
These projects will not cause any major
disruption in the commencement ceremony.
They will, however, change which gates you
can enter Kenan Stadium.

Brien Lewis will be installed as a
member of the BOT for 1989-90, he
said.
"I hope it will be a short agenda,
because we really want to focus on
the students," he said.
Three proposed increases in stu
dent fees will also go before the board,
including an 8 percent rise in Carolina
Union fees, a 5 percent rise in housing
fees and a $25 increase in transpor
tation fees, Lewis said.
The $25 increase is a part of the
recommendations made by the Chan
cellor's Ad Hoc Committee on Park
ing. If approved by the BOT, the
proposed increase must be approved
by the Board of Governors before
taking effect next year.
The committee will meet today in
Chase Hall to discuss the amount of
space available there.
"There has been some talk of doing
some programming there, but
nothing has been firmed up," said
Student Body President Brien Lewis.
"The BCC is in the process of being
resolved now," said Edith Wiggins,
an associate vice chancellor in the
Office of Student Affairs.
Even though the BCC is still in the
planning stages, progress on a per
may not be able to keep his faculty
members, he said. "Mainly we have
gotten the people we wanted. People
want to come here. I worry that once
they're here they may be lured away
by other schools with better benefits."
Shiff said it was hard to blame
either the administration or the
legislature for the comparitively low
salaries at UNC. "They (administra
tion) dont seem to have done a good
job of it (making the legislature aware
of the salary problems). It's hard to
say whose fault it is, but the legislature
hasn't been kind to the University."
The University has been denying
for the past five years that inadequate
faculty salaries and benefits are
problems, Shiff said. "That makes the
faculty angry. The fact that the
University has only recently admitted
the problem really hurts morale."
Shiff said UNC has published
salaries that were "way out of line
with the actual salaries. As a full
professor, the figure the University
was using was more than what I was
making."
, Despite these problems, the quality
of faculty is improving, said Stanley
Black, chairman of the economics
department. "I think the University
has good standards and is sticking
to them. It is having some problems
competing in the marketplace. Our
salary offers were below the market
average."
Chapel Hill's increased cost of
living may discourage young faculty
members from accepting jobs at UNC
or may encourage established faculty

CHANCELLOR'S
RECEPTION
The Chancellor's Reception co-sponsored
by the Carolina Parents Association, will be
held at the north end of Polk Place (the lawn
near South Building) immediately following
the graduation Exercise. You and your
Commencement guests are cordially invited to
attend. In the event of rain, the Reception will
be held in Fetzer Gyms A and B.
IN CASE OF RAIN
In the event of very inclement weather, the
Exercises will be held in the Smith Center and
seating for guests will be on a first-come, first
serve basis. Degree candidates should use the
Funds from the proposed increase
would expand the availability of the
transit system to students, including
more buses and a longer schedule.
The $25 increase would be broken
up into payments by all students of
$12.50 per semester, Lewis said.
"I'm probably going to vote against
it, unless we can get a lot of good
things out of it," he said.
"I realize that excellent and
improved transit is a vital necessity.
I'm not enchanted, though, with the
idea that to get that service every
student at the University has to pay
25 dollars."
Student Congress passed a resolu
tion against the increase at its
Wednesday night meeting. Lewis said
manent site is being made, Crawford
said. BCC bylaws are almost com
plete, she said.
Wiggins said officials are planning
the center to serve a number of
purposes.
Crawford said a "wish-list" of what
Black Student Movement members
hope to see in the BCC has been
made. Members want a library, a
gallery and a multicultural, multip
urpose room, she said.
Wiggins said Donald Boulton, vice
chancellor and dean of student
members to accept positions at other
institutions, Shiff said. "Cost of living
is definitely a problem. Chapel Hill
is an expensive place to live."
Reid Barbour, a first-year English
professor who also received a job
offer from Vanderbilt, said the high
cost of living hadn't affected him yet.
"But, also I don't have a family,
and I'm sure that if I did have a family
and I was bringing home the main
or the only income, then things would
get trickier."
Chapel Hill's increased size con
tributes to its difficulty in recruiting
faculty, Gooder said. "The University
is no longer in a small town.' Some
of the attractiveness of 20 years ago
has been lost. We can no longer use
the argument that there is no traffic.
Because of the growth of Research
Triangle, we have to compete with
other metropolitan areas."
Because Chapel Hill is in the
Research Triangle, UNC is more
attractive to prospective faculty
members, Richardson said. "We are
in a vital,1 growing region of 'the
country. Chapel Hill is a draw for
us. It's not a hindrance."
Shiff said he was concerned that
the University was able to raise
$800,000 to buy out the remainder
of former head football coach Dick
Crum's contract after the 1987 season
while the library declines in quality.
"When something occurs, such as
the Dick Crum scandal, and the
library can't get a penny out of the
alumni, it is an indication that the
University can't raise money effec
tively. We're all in favor of athletics,
but we would prefer programs that
are beneficial to the students. It
produces a morale problem that the
University is willing to do major fund
raising (in Dick Crum's case) but isn't
willing to do the same for the library.
It's a first rate library. It's a shame
main entrance by the flagpoles and follow the
directional signs. If the decision is made to
move from Kenan to the Smith Center, it will
be made by 9:00 AM. on May 14 and
announced on WCHL, VVUNC, WXYC and on
1610 AM, the University's low-frequency
radio station. The person on duty at the
Carolina Union Information Desk will also
will be aware of any change in location.
DIPLOMAS AND

University Registrar's Office.
There is only one annual University
Commencement Exercise. In addition to
current degree candidates, everyone who has
received a degree since the last Commence
ment is urged to attend the May 14 exercise.
Additionally, undergraduates expecting to
receive a degree following Summer School or
the Fall semester may participate in the May
Exercise, but they will not receive a diploma

The BOT will also consider for
approval the Traffic and Parking
Ordinance, an annual document
produced by the DepartmeriTsJof
Transportation and Parking Services,
Eubanks said.
The 40-page document regulates
traffic and parking at UNC but'dpes
not propose any fee increases, Hid

tation and parking services. ?$'s

document."

drawings for the BCC, she said. &
Lewis said the question of whether
to build a Black Cultural Center or
a Multicultural Center was ne'ver
really a valid question. "It is not a
matter of building a Black Cultural
Center or a Multicultural Center It's
a matter of a BCC already existing."

it's ceasing to get the support it
requires." ,
All funds raised for research by;the
medical' department are subject to
state regulations concerning how- it
is spent, Gooder said. "We raisj a
large amount of money from outside
sources; then we have to spenqjhe
money by state rules that hamper-our
ability to compete with private
universities who don't have such
guidelines."
Gooder said many states have
realized the economic benefits ;ihat
come from having a superb research
university, and they have frged
research practices at their universities,
which allows them to compete more
effectively. t.z
When faculty members neeaj to
purchase equipment for research,
they must first send a description; of
the equipment and a list of, its
producers to the state purchasing
office, said Ernest Eliel, a Kenan
professor of chemistry. The state then
sends a requisition to all makers of
the equipment and asks for bids from
whomever will sell the, equipment to
the state at the lowest price, he said. .
The state almost always accepts; the
lowest bid, even though the possibil
ity exists that the equipment might
be of inferior quality, Ehel said. "Jhe
difference between two pieces of
sophisticated equipment is sometimes
quite large."
Shiff said UNC tended to Ipse
many competitive-minded faculty
members because it has some ofthe
most competitive faculty. "UNC tjies
to spread the money around and pay
faculty members equally. What
happens is the competitive faculty
members leave for better salaries and
the uncompetitive are left, and they're
well-paid." J
James Burroughs also contributed
to this story.

before leaving the University. The borrower
may sign the document in a seperate interview '
