Student Recreation Center
takes an important first step
By PAUL BREDDERMAN
Staff Writer
The initial board of directors for
the Student Recreation Center, com
prised of members of the Carolina
Athletic Association, student govern
ment, UNC faculty and students, will
meet once a week throughout the
summer until the writing of the by
laws for the new center is complete.
In its first two meetings, the board
of directors set a goal to complete a
set of proposed by-laws for the Stu
dent Recreation Center by August 1.
All members of the initial board
will vote on the proposed by-laws on
August 29, before they will be pre
sented before Student Congress for
approval.
The board will not only set up by
laws for the center, but will establish
a permanent board of directors in
doing so, and will address building
questions and other issues regarding
the center, said CAA President Lisa
American Heart
Association

Frye.
"I think it will be a hard-working
group and an excellent mix of stu
dents and faculty, as well as graduate
students," said board member John
E. Billing, professor and chairman of
the UNC department of physical
education.
UNC facilities planning and de
sign will make selections for the archi
tect, and the board will then be able
to approve their choice. "The bids go
out in the beginning of August," said
CAA Vice President Bronwen Grif
fith. The financing of the center during
the initial building stages was a pri
mary issue discussed by the board in
a meeting on Thursday, May 25.
"None of that's definite," Frye said.
"The main idea is that we borrow
from another source so we wouldn't
have to charge a fee to students when
the building gets started.
"We would ultimately not want to
charge students who would not get to
use the building."
The position of a director for the
center was also discussed in the meet
ing, Griffith said.
"We decided we had to have a
professional a salaried employee
to run the building," Griffith said.
This person will probably have to
answer to the intramural sports pro
gram, because both the concerns of
the center and the program focus on
student recreation purposes, Griffith
said.
The duties of a director for the
center have not yet been decided upon,
she said.
"Their check is going to be paid
by student fees," Griffith said. This
expense was allowed for in the budget
voted upon in the referendum, she
added.
The site for the center will not be
a topic of discussion in the meetings,
Frye said.
"That's on the back burner right
now until we can get an architect,"
Griffith said.
The site for the center will be
chosen in part by UNC Facilities
Planning and Design and by the archi
tect, Frye said.
The student members of the ini
tial board are Lisa Frye, CAA presi
dent; Bronwen Griffith, CAA vice
president; Rick Cody, graduate and
professional student federation presi
dent; Brien Lewis, student body presi
dent; Jeremy Kelly, club sports presi
dent; Mark Bibbs, student congress
representative; and Gene Davis,
speaker of student congress.
Faculty members of the' board
include Billing, Rex A. Pringle, intramural-recreation
specialist, and Rich
ard T. Satterlee, assistant director for
club sports.

$1.5 million grant
goes to University
biology department
By AL RIPLEY
Staff Writer
The Howard Hughes Medical
Institute has given the University
a $1.5 million grant that the biol
ogy department will use for a five
year program that will increase
minority involvement in biomedi
cal research, biology department
officials said.
Duke University and 51 other
universities also received grants
totalling $61 million from the
Hughes Institute, a scientific and
philanthropic organization.
Faculty from predominantly minority-led
universities and high
schools will attend the University's
five-year program in hopes that
their new knowledge will inspire
more minority students to partici
pate in scientific study, said Dr.
Lawrence Gilbert, chairman of the
biology department.
Dr. Walter Bollenbacher, prin
cipal investigator for the program,
said the program addresses his
concern that the high school edu
cational process does not ade
quately prepare students for col
legiate scientific study.
"We hope to create an academic
process that will prepare minority
students for careers in science and
show kids that science can be both
interesting and exciting," Bollen
bacher said.
Ultimately the program will in
crease the pool of qualified mi
nority students interested in sci
ence, he said.
Planning for the program is still
in progress. The program is sched
uled to begin in the summer of
1990, according to Dr. Jean De
Saix, implementation director.
The grant will sponsor the pro
gram for five years, DeSaix said.
After that, the University will
support the program.
Tuition
from page 1
North Carolina is to have higher
education available for people, in
North Carolina primarily, which they
can afford," said Spangler.
Student Body President Brien
Lewis said the BOG proposal is more
reasonable because it allows for a
gradual increase in tuition, while the
American Heart
Association
House recommendation is the largest
increase in more than 20 years.
"There's nothing gradual or an
ticipated about it," said Lewis.
The increase proposed by the
General Assembly would have a se
rious effect on the UNC campus,
Spangler said.
"It seems unwise to change a sys
tem that has worked so well for so
many generations of citizens," Span
gler said.
