The University soon may have to
find avenues in addition to the Student
Stores as significant sources for stu
dent aid revenue, according to Students
for Educational Access (SEA), an or
ganization which promotes the removal
of barriers to higher education.
In a report released Thursday, the
SEA urged the Board of Trustees to
consider the reestablishment of now
defunct scholarships, cease reductions
in scholarship money and find alterna
tive sources of student aid money.

Committee formed
to fill education post
By JENNIFER DUNLAP
Staff Writer
Leadership abilities will be an im
portant factor in the choice of a new
dean of the School of Education, search
committee members and Chancellor
Paul Hardin said Friday.
The recently-formed committee,
chosen by Hardin, is conducting a na
tionwide search to replace Dean Frank
Brown, who will resign June 30.
Hardin will meet for the first time
today with the committee, which in
cludes faculty members, a state educa
tion official, one graduate student and
one UNC alumnus.
Both Hardin and Edward Holley,
dean emeritus of the library and infor
mation science department and chair
man of the committee, said the educa
tion school needs a strong leader.
"It's an important search for the
University," Holley said. "My col
leagues and I on the committee will do
our best to see that the School of Edu
cation has the leadership it needs at this
period."
Robert Phay, a committee member
and Kenan professor of public law and
government, agreed. "The School of
Education needs strong leadership to
make UNC-Chapel Hill the primary
institution for the development of teach
ers, administrators and support staff for
North Carolina's schools."
Hardin said the dean will play an
important role in the state. "The School
of Education has to be in the forefront
of working with North Carolina's pub
lic schools to ensure strengthening of
education at all levels in the state."
Spangler praises efforts
to raise graduation rates
By KARI BARLOW
Assistant State and National Editor
UNC-system President CD. Span
gler told the Board of Governors (BOG)
Friday that progress was being made in
increasing the graduation rates of stu
dent athletes at each of the 16 universi
ties in the system.
Each university is required to submit
an annual report on its athletic pro
grams, and most of the reports were
received and released last week.
In his speech to the BOG, Spangler
emphasized efforts made by N.C. State
interim Chancellor Larry Monteith to
correct the problems in the university's
athletic program.
The NCSU report responded spe
cifically to 14 recommendations put
forth by Spangler in August 1989.
One response includes the appoint
ment of a Dean of Undergraduate Stud
ies at NCSU.
In his report to Spangler, Monteith
said there was a need for a Dean of
Undergraduate Studies, who would be
responsible for the performance of
freshmen and sophomores and for
keeping these students in direct contact
with an academic adviser.
In a memo to the BOG Committee
on Personnel and Tenure, Spangler
recommended that the BOG authorize
Monteith to establish this new faculty
position as soon as possible.
Spanglercited marked improvements
in the athletic program at East Carolina
University. Two years ago, the gradu
ation rate for ECU football players was

negative impact on the availability of
funds for student aid. The report was
intended to draw attention to that," said
SEA co-coordinator Stuart Hathaway.
The report contends that one threat
to the availability of funds is the declin
ing success of the Student Stores, which
in recent years has annually contrib
uted about $500,000 to student aid
funds.
According to the SEA, revenue from
the Student Stores may diminish due to
the closing of the Pit Stop, competition
for textbook sales, last year's renova
tion to the Daniels Building and Gen
eral Assembly budget cuts.

According to Hardin, the new dean
would need to have a strong rapport
with faculty and students, personal
integrity and strong experience in teach
ing or administration at a good school
of education. The dean would have to
be committed to the teaching aspect of
the School of Education and the re
search and public service aspects of the
school, he said.
Phay stressed the importance of
maintaining a high level of research at
the school in the areas of learning theo
ries and school organization.
Holley said this search will be typi
cal of UNC's dean searches. Holley
also headed the committee to search for
a new dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences in 1985.
Holley said the committee will so
licit nominations and take applications.
The committee will also place adver
tisements in several national journals
to attract applicants to the position, he
said. "We will cast our net broadly."
The committee could receive up to
200 applicants and nominees for the
position, he said.
Holley said the committee will meet
with people within the school to get
their opinions on what the school needs
in a new dean. All suggestions would
be considered, he said.
Aundrea Creech, a junior education
and biology major from Selma, said the
new dean would need teaching experi
ence which could be passed along to
students who are studying to be teach
ers. "I think most importantly, the new
dean needs to be someone who has
been in a classroom."
5 percent. This year's report said that
62 percent of the 1983 freshman foot
ball players and 50 percent of the 1984
freshman players had graduated.
Spangler also called for an examina
tion of the educational missions of each
of the 16 universities.
"North Carolina and our nation are
swiftly changing, and it is clear that if
we are going to continue to give to the
state the leadership and service that we
have always given in the past, we must
begin now to prepare for change and to
test the sufficiency of our policies for
the new tasks that are before us," he
said.
The educational mission defines an
institution as a research university or a
comprehensive university and outlines
the various degrees it offers.
Spangler said the BOG must look at
the assigned mission of each of the 16
institutions as the year 2000 approaches.
In 1976, the BOG stated its intention
to increase the college-going rate for
blacks and other disadvantaged youths,
Spangler said. The board has made
substantial progress, but still has not
reached the national norm, he said.
Spangler said he would ask all chan
cellors to prepare a report outlining
future changes that are needed at their
respective universities.
In other business, the BOG adopted
a resolution requiring university-related
private foundations to be audited. But
the audit would not require the identifi
cation of any persons who have made
donations to the organization.

The Pit Stop, a snack bar, closed last
year because of pressure from the
University.
"There was a feeling that it was
harmful to Marriott, so we were in
structed to close by the Office of Busi
ness and Finance," said Rutledge Tufts,
business manager of the Student Stores.
As one of 1 1 food stores, the Pit Stop
was one of the few successful units in
the Student Store chain, Tufts said. "In
order to provide services, we operate
some at a loss," he said. "The Pit Stop
did quite well."
