University police Chief Charles
Mauer failed to appear and testify on
Friday, the final day of Officer Keith
Edwards' grievance hearing.
Judge Dolores Nesnow offered to
hold the police chief in contempt of
court, but lawyers for both sides said
they would waive the subpoena.
Both Mauer and Dan Burleson,
assistant personnel director, had been
ordered by Nesnow to testify despite
doctors' notes held by both men claim
ing they were too ill to testify.
At the close of the hearing, Lars
Nance, the University's attorney,
moved to have the hearing continued
until the middle of April so Mauer
could testify. Nesnow denied his
motion and the hearing was brought
to a close.
Nesnow is not expected to hand
down herdecision for several months.
Both attorneys asked for transcripts
of the testimony, which would take
six to eight weeks to prepare. After
receiving the transcripts, the attor
neys have 45 days to submit docu
ments into evidence. After the sub
missions are made, the judge has 30
days to make her decision.
Nance said after the hearing that
Mauer's testimony would have been
useful, but was not critical to the
University's case. "His testimony
would have been helpful to our case,
but the petitioner really has the bur
den of proof."
Alan McSurely, Edwards' attor
ney, said Mauer's testimony was not
essential to his case.
CAA candidates cite goals, priorities for presidency
By JUSTIN McGUIRE
. University Editor
Candidates for Carolina Athletic
Association (CAA) president discussed
main issues facing the CAA and out
lined their platforms at a Cobb Resi
dence Hall forum Sunday night.
Demp Bradford, a sophomore from
Eden, and Lisa Frye, a junior from
Conover, spoke and answered ques
tions at the Residence Hall Association
(RHA)-sponsored forum.
Bradford said the three areas he
wanted to address most were the ticket
distribution policy, support for non
revenue sports and student notification
of meetings about the Student Recrea
tion Center (SRC).
He said he would form a committee
made up of representatives from each
residence college and two off-campus
students to set ticket distribution poli
cies. "The committee will look into
ticket distribution policies at other

bid for SBP position
By SARAH CAGLE
Assistant University Editor
Mike Strickland, a sophomore
applied science major from Fayettev
ille, has announced his candidacy for
student body president.
Strickland, who said he decided to
run "on a whim," said his main moti
vation for running was to increase
voter participation. "They can vote
for me or they can vote against me. I
don't care, just as long as they vote."
He said he wanted more students
to participate in student government
and wanted the role of student body
president to change. "I want the stu
dent body president to have a little
more grassroots influence around
here other than just meeting with
student body presidents from other
schools and (Gov.) Jim Martin."
Strickland said if electeu he would
work to implement a phone-in sys
tem for campus elections. "All the
computer hardware is already avail
able on campus."
Under this system, voting would
take place through touch-tone tele
phones and would require the assign
ment of voter identification numbers
to every student, he said.
He would work to add more win
dows for cashiers in Bynum Hall to
reduce lines. "They need more per
sonnel, but that's not the only solu
tion. If you rearranged it (the cashier's
office) you could fit at least two more
cashiers."
His campaign theme, "Be Nice to
Trees," centers on the problem of
construction on campus. 'There's
Edwards said she was angry that
Mauer did not appear. University
administrators should have put more
pressure on Mauer to comply with
his subpoena, she said.
"I feel like he is interfering with
the grievance process and denying a
complainant the right to a fair hear
ing," Edwards said. "Part of being in
management is setting examples. By
not showing up he is setting a bad
example for the whole department."
Edwards has charged that the
University racially and sexually dis
criminated against her during a June
1987 departmental reorganization by
promoting a less qualified white male
officer ahead of her.
Burleson testified Friday that he
did not realize that race discrimina
tion was an issue in the grievance
until the case came before a
chancellor's committee at Step 3 of
the grievance process.
Edwards said after the hearing that
she believed it was impossible that
Burleson would not have known.
"Anyone that knows me knows that
1 would have mentioned race dis
crimination before Step 3 of my griev
ance," she said.
Burleson also said he has found
race discrimination to be a factor in
six employee grievances since his
appointment as assistant personnel
director in 1973. None of these six
grievances was with the police de
partment, he said.
There has never been a race dis
crimination finding at Step 3 or 4 of

universities."
Non-revenue teams at UNC do not
get enough support, Bradford said. "We
have got to bring the student level of
support for non-revenue sports up."
He said he would form a non-revenue
spirit committee and would adver
tise non-revenue games more. He would
also encourage students to attend the
games and "cheer our teams on."
Another important issue facing stu
dents is the SRC, he said. Students are
often not notified about meetings re
garding the recreation center, and when
they are notified, it is not far enough in
advance, he said.

definitely too much building going
on on campus."
Strickland said he wanted to trans
form the Pit into a pond. "There's no
water on this campus. Many people
have complained to me about the
lack of water on campus."
He said the transformation would
involve shellacking the Pit and pos
sibly putting a small Cupid statue
"spitting or something" in the middle
of it.

acylty tfavws reforms

After two-and-a-half hours of de
bate Friday, the Faculty Council rec
ommended that more scholarships be
given to spoits having high graduation
rates and that fewer out-of-state ath
letes with lower academic credentials
be admitted.
The council voted on these and other
recommendations of a report submit
ted by the Ad Hoc Committee on Ath
letics and the University on UNC ath
letic reform.
The recommendations will now be
forwarded to Chancellor Paul Hardin,
who will make the final decision.
The committee, which voted on nine
of the 32 recommendations in January,
has yet to discuss 1 1 of the recommen
dations. In the longest debate of the after
noon, the council approved a measure
reducing the number of out-of-state
athletes admitted as exceptions by the
University to 50. The University now
admits 100 out-of-state athletes whose
academic credentials are not the same
as regular out-of-state students.
The original recommendation by the
committee would have allowed 75
exceptions, but Doris Betts, chair
woman of the committee, said the
committee wanted to improve the aca
demic aspects of the out-of-state stu
dent athlete, and "still not have Clemson
(University) mop up the floor with us."
History Professor Richard Soloway
said that in some sports, 70 percent to
95 percent of the athletes were from
out-of-state. "I find that (the admis
sions rate) a price we ought not to pay
extensively for our out-of-state student
purposes," he said.
"At this moment, whether we like it
or not, over 100 athletes are being
admitted into this university without

SBP hopefuls address campus

University expansion at the expense
of greenspace on campus was debated
by candidates for student body presi
dent Sunday nicht in Cobb Residence
Hall.
Jonathan Martin, John Lomax, Bill
Hildebolt and Mark Bibbs were the
candidates present at the forum.
Also at the forum, candidates for
Daily Tar Heel (DTH) editor and Resi
dence Hall Association (RHA) presi
dent presented their platforms and
answered questions.
Martin said one role of the student
body president was to propose alterna
tives to building on sites students did
not favor.
He suggested a satellite campus as
one possible solution to the present
space problems.
"What that would involve is having
buildings that are going to be built to
house a certain department or certain
programs on campus somewhat away
from campus, and resorting to a commuter-type
shuttle system. This is a
solution used by many of the larger
the young die good. Oliver Herford
any academic policy guiding them,
being admitted for athletics or non
academic reasons by the admissions
office in conjunction with the athletic
department."
Richard Cashwell, director of under
graduate admissions, said there were
about 1 00 grants-in-aid for athletes who
have lower academic credentials. These
students are admitted to the University
because of their special talents, he said.
The council also agreed to a report
recommendation which would give
coaches fixed-term contracts based on
their "contributions to the athletic,
academic and personal growth of the
student-athletes who come under their
leadership."
Hardin said he supported fixed-term
contracts for coaches. "Though I'm very
leery of fixed-term contracts to persons
whose duties are administrative, par
ticularly the chancellor's."
Coaches should not have lengthy
contracts that would make it difficult to
release coaches if they were found to be
involved in illegal activities, Hardin
said. He also told the council he would
not fire a coach for his won-lost record.
"I think Mack Brown is a smashing
success," Hardin said. Brown, the var
sity football coach, has won two games
in two years at UNC.
Faculty members made it clear that
they were trying to strike a balance
between the roles of student and athlete
without harming UNC athletics.
Jack Donnelly, associate professor
and director of graduate admissions in
the political science department, said
athletes bring diversity to the Univer
sity. "They bring diversity in the same
way students who have conceptual
leadership abilities do, in the same way
students who are minorities, who are
handicapped.

universities, and that's something that
because we're running out of green
space we need to come up with
solutions like that," Martin said.
Lomax said students needed to be
better informed, and student leaders
needed to be prepared to fight hard
against the loss of greenspace. "Stu
dents need to take an acitve role to stop
things like this from happening.
"The satellite campus that Jonathan
(Martin) mentioned is not a new idea. If
that comes about, I want the satellite
campus to be a research campus that
students would not be required to go to
daily." Keep the students living right
here on the main campus."
Hildebolt said the student body
president needed to formulate a land
plan like the University's so students
would have something to back up their
arguments.
"Students shouldn't be moved out of
the center of campus. Right now all
those old dorms are administrative

"They contribute to the diversity so
that this institution can better reflect
American society and some of its val
ues." Donald Warren, Kenan professor of
surgery in the dental ecology depart
ment, said athletics at UNC were a
building ground for the growth of a
person.
T think athletics stand for accom
plishments, and it stands for building
Demp
buildings." The students aren't even in
the middle of campus. How did that
happen? That's one of the things the
student land-use plan could address."
Bibbs said protection of campus
greenspace was at the top of his agenda,
but the limited powers of the student
body president were a difficulty.
"I think it's important to remember
the alumni have something over us that
we don't have over them their money
and status.It's important for us to go
into dealings with the administration
stating that we don't want any more
buildings taking up our greenspace.
"If the students don't want a build
ing to go somewhere, I will definitely
fight as hard as I can to keep it from
going there."
Also at the forum, the team of Jes
sica Lanning and Kelly Thompson, and
the team of Mary Jo Dunnington and
William Taggart outlined their plat
forms for co-editors of the DTH.
Thompson said she and Lanning
chose to run as co-editors because of
feedback they had received from cam
pus organizations and students.
"We felt we could make the changes
(students wanted) and make the DTH
accountable to the students."

Lanning said they would eliminate
the board opinion editorial because it
was losing its effect by running daily.
They would also eliminate the posi
