Two philosophical
courses reopened
Two canceled classes that fill philo
sophical perspectives have been re-instated
for students to add this fall.
Speech 65, which fills the College of
Arts and Sciences' perspective, was
canceled last year after the death of
professor Paul Brandes.
Graduate student and practicing
lawyer Lee Lambert will teach the class
on legal argumentation. Lambert will
hold a meeting tonight at 7 p.m. in
Bingham 101 to explain the course to
interested students.
Computer Science 96, which fills
upper- and lower-level perspectives, will
address the impact of computer tech
nology on society. Instruction will
emphasize student participation during
discussion. John Halton will teach the
course, to be held in Dey Hall 301 on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 p.m.
to 4:45 p.m.
Laser printer usage
hurt by budget cuts
The Microcomputing Support
Center, which coordinates general
access to many of the campus printers
and computers, is limiting the amount
of time students can use laser printers
because of budget cuts.
Students using the laser printers
will be limited to 15 minutes. They
also will not be able to make reserva
tions, but instead work on a first
come, first-served basis. Students will
be allowed one copy for papers, and
up to five copies for resumes and job
letters. Each printer is allowed one
cartridge per month.
Officials with the center request
that students bring their own paper
and not print everything on laser
printers.
Graduates content
with UNC education
A survey of 1988 graduates over the
summer found that 92 percent of re
spondents were pleased with their col
lege experience and would repeat their
UNC education.
The Office of Institutional Research
conducted the survey of 264 graduates.
The former students said they were
content with the advising system, fac
ulty and campus opportunities.
Morehead creates
merit scholarship
The John Motley Morehead Founda
tion has created a $500 scholarship
program to be awarded to regional fi
nalists in the Morehead Scholarship
competition.
The merit-based scholarship will
award 230 students a one-time $500
grant based on leadership, scholarship,
character and physical vigor. The
foundation officials developed the
program to encourage more Morehead
nominees to attend the University.
Program to address
women's legal issues
A one-day program addressing prob
lems women face in the legal system is
planned for Sept. 8 at the UNC School
of Law. Women will speak about
problems ranging from domestic vio
lence to legal reform.
Speakers include Christine Littleton,
University of California-Los Angeles
law professor, and Alison Wetherfield,
director of the National Organization of
Women legal defense and education
fund.
The program is free for the public,
but reservations are recommended.
Those wishing to earn CLE credit must
pay a $120.00 fee.

The Board of Trustees indirectly
adopted a mandatory drug testing policy
for athletes in a 5-2 vote Friday, over
turning their earlier refusal to require
testing.
The UNC System Board of Gover
nors ordered the BOT in July to pass a
mandatory drug policy after the trustees
had refused to implement one in June.
Instead of directly supporting or re
jecting a mandatory policy, BOT
members passed the issue to Chancel
lor Paul Hardin and his staff, who will
implement the policy dictated by the
BOG.
Hardin said he would approach the
new policy with the athletes' right to
privacy as his first priority. "We are
going to try to devise a (testing) proce
dure that is private and dignified," he
said. "All of us have some internal
conflicts about privacy issues."
Susan Ehringhaus, assistant to the
chancellor, drafted the new policy,
which has already taken effect. The
policy outlines a list of banned drugs,

Parking problems still
JL
plague campus drivers
By JENNIFER WING
Staff Writer
UNC students can expect the usual
parking crunch on campus this year, but
at a higher price.
Parking permit costs for students and
Chapel Hill transit-system fares have
increased slightly over the summer, and
the Craige parking deck, predicted to
alleviate a large part of the parking
problem, is behind construction sched
ule by two months.
Nearly 1 ,772 students have pre-reg-istered
and paid for 2,445 parking per
mits that a student government com
mittee will allocate. Additional spaces
were made available to students this
year in the L,T,F and PR lots, with the
price of all permits increasing by as
much as $12. Higher maintenance fees
for the lots caused the increase, said
Kathy Haines, parking administrator.
Part of the revenue will be budgeted for
future parking decks, she said.
Students who still need parking can
apply for spots in the newly created
park-and-ride lot on Highway 54, part
of the re-routed S line. The 500-car-capacity
lot is free, but a bus pass must
be bought, said Lori Marasco, customer
service coordinator. This is the only
student lot with spaces still available.
As many as 200 people are on the
waiting lists for campus lots, and lists
for fringe-lot spaces are growing
quickly, Marasco said.
Students who need hardship spaces
can apply at the student government
office or at the parking and transporta
tion department. There are 288 spaces
available. Applications are due Friday,
and allotments will be posted Sept. 6 at
the application sites.
Student parking spaces now blocked
by Alumni Center construction equip
ment on Stadium Drive will continue to

dom testing, and consequences of a
positive test.
According to the policy, athletes
found guilty of drug use must undergo
evaluation and counseling. If an athlete
continues to test positive for drug use,
he or she could be suspended from the
team or stripped of eligibility to par
ticipate in any University sports.
The chancellor said he did not think
the policy would bring surprising results.
"The new policy is not a very big step
because some teams have to participate
in NCAA mandatory testing," he said.
"It will be interesting to see how the
athletes react who didn't volunteer for
drug testing."
The issue provoked varied responses
from the trustees. Student Body Presi
dent Bill Hildebolt, an ex officio member
of the board, voted in favor of the
resolution, although he said he ada
mantly opposes mandatory testing.
"I really do lay in bed at night thinking
about this; it makes me sick to my
stomach thinking that I might endorse
mandatory drug testing," he said. "My
final report to the trustees will address
mandatory drug testing."
Hildebolt said the vote put the board
DTHEvan Eile
be off-limits, Haines said. Those spots
will be returned to students if the Alumni
Center does not claim them, she said.
The Craige parking deck, under
construction since September, is delayed
two months in its 600-day schedule,
said Ed Willis, director of construction
administration. "We've encountered
more rocks than expected," Willis ex
plained. "Also, because of the type of
project, it's pure concrete work: very
repetitive and difficult to make up time."
The Chapel Hill transportation de
partment reworked service hours and
routes and increased fares for all buses
during July to make up for a $300,000
shortage in federal funding. Off-campus
fare increased this summer by 10 cents
to a total of 60 cents, and campus fare
rose an additional 5 cents, totaling 30
cents. Bus passes for the academic year
cost $124.20 for all routes and $62.10
for campus routes only.
"The primary reason for the increases
was the amount of federal operating
assistance we receive has been lim ited,"
said Scott McClellan, administrative
assistant for the Chapel Hill transpor
tation department.
The total number of operating hours
for Chapel Hill buses has remained the
same, he said, but hours from some
routes have been shortened and switched
to other lines. The South Campus bus
now runs to the 54 park-and-ride lot, the
T-lot bus has better midday service, the
J-route will run more during the summer
and the Blue Line added Saturday runs,
he said. Most of these added hours were
taken from the P3 bus, whose hours and
frequency are now shortened.
The transportation department raised
public parking lot rates in an effort to
discourage private vehicle use, meant
to help offset the operating deficit and
minimize federal-funding shortfalls.

in a difficult situation. "We had three
options," he said. "We could have said
no again and allowed the BOG to imple
ment a policy for the University. We
could have said yes and supported
mandatory drug testing, or we could
have refused to vote on it and let the
chancellor deal with it."
The BOT's final decision about the
policy makes allowances for student
opinion, Hildebolt said. "I think it's
probable students can go to the chan
cellor and tell him what should be
changed," he said. "That's where we
can have some power now, that's why
we didn't vote no."
But Hardin said student opinion
would have a limited impact. "We don't
have much leeway because we are ex
pected to comply with the policy sent
by the Board of Governors."
BOT member Robert Eubanks voted
against the proposal. "It just doesn't
make sense to me," he said. "No prob
lem is so bad that you should infringe on
civil liberties."

The last dropadd held in Woollen
Gym proved to be one of the most trying
at UNC for many students, who found
themselves unable to register for classes
that were dropped because of budget
cuts.
Gillian Cell, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, said students could
help alleviate the problem by dropping
classes as soon as possible if they know
they don't want them. This would pro
vide spots for students to pick up if they
need the classes, she said.
Provost Dennis O'Connor said de
partmental dropadd period would be
extended a week to give students more
time to obtain the classes they need. In
a letter to instructors, O'Connor also
asked that professors make allowances
for the circumstances surrounding drop
add this year, and to give special con
sideration to students who are trying to
pick up closed classes.
Many of the courses cut were introductory-level
courses, which made the
situation for freshmen more confusing.
Edwards
In her ruling, Jud
from page 1A
In her ruling, Judge Nesnow said
Edwards did not receive a promotion
during the 1987 reorganization of the
UNC police department based on racial
and sexual grounds. She awarded
Edwards attorney's fees and ordered
that she be promoted to lieutenant for
four months, the promotion period
during which Edwards was passed over
for the new job.
Nance said UNC believed the deci
sion was faulty because Nesnow mis
interpreted the law and made a decision
without the testimony of former UNC
Police Chief Charles Mauer.
Mauer was expected to testify in
February on the final day of the hearing
but failed to appear. The University
claimed Edwards' subpoena was de
fective and requested a six-month con
tinuance on the case so Mauer could
testify. Nesnow denied the request.
Edwards said she was discriminated
against on a racial and sexual basis, but
Nesnow ruled Edwards' discrimination
was based on favoritism.
Nance said favoritism was not the
same as racial and sexual discrimination.
'There are quite a number of errors that
the University would find in the deci
sion," he said. "We want to appear and
give oral arguments."
Edwards said the argument that
Nesnow's finding was erroneous be
cause of Mauer's absence was not valid.
"That's a lame excuse," she said. "We
tried everything possible to get him to
testify. I'd give anything in this world to
have had him testify."
She claimed that UNC officials ac
tually tried to stop Mauer from testify
ing and that he is being used as a
scapegoat.
Nance said he doubted any UNC
official tried to suppress Mauer's testi
mony. "It was the University's position
that we wanted him to testify," he said.
Nance said Nesnow initially offered
to allow Mauer to testify without tele
vision cameras in the courtroom, and
Mauer was willing to come forward

ceptable.
'The only change is on paper, but I
guess it looks good for the University
officials," Bollinger said. "It might
matter to some of us since Coach (Mack)
Brown has our scholarships in his hands.
There might be a bit more of an
awareness (in players) of what they're
doing outside the football arena."
Alex Simakas, a senior football
player, said the mandatory policy was
unfair. "It's not right to be checked over
other students but we are in the
public eye," he said.
If any athletes contest the policy by
refusing to take the test, Simakas said
some people might interpret it as an
admission of guilt. "The drug policy
would work either way," he said. "If
you don't have a problem with it, you
shouldn't worry."
Brown said his athletes should be
prepared for the policy because of past
voluntary and NCAA testing. "It's hard
for me to say it's wrong, they shouldn't
do it, because they've all done the test
voluntarily," he said. "It really hasn't
been an issue.
"The way we've approached it is if
you have a problem, we want to get you

Chris Campbell, a freshman from
Columbia, S.C., said he only had seven
hours on his schedule. "I think I'm just
gonna stay here 'til 5:00 and keep trying
to finagle," he said.
Jill Lovelace, a freshman from Casar,
N.C., said she thought she could get into
closed classes if she knew whom to go
to in the appropriate department. "It
boils down to who you know as to what
classes you get, and I don't know any
one," she said. "It's just one big mess."
University Registrar David Lanier
said instructors were being told to drop
students from class rosters who fail to
show up for the first two class meetings.
This should open up spaces for those
students who need the classes.
Wednesday, 5 1 of the 58 class sec
tions originally canceled had been re
opened, he said.
University officials are working to
find a solution to the budget cuts imposed
on the University by the state's legis
lature. "We still don't know just how bad
the situation is," Cell said. "What we're
into right now is a very intense period of

Mandatory testing also would stop
steroid-use rumors often associated with
football players, Brown said. "I do think
there are some positives."
Several cases concerning the consti
tutionality of a mandatory drug test
have reached the Supreme Court, but
none concerning athletes, said Daniel
Pollitt, a constitutional law professor.
According to Supreme Court rulings,
only individuals working in sensitive
situations where they can harm some
body, such as railroad engineers or
school bus drivers, can be forced to take
a drug test.
Pollitt said he thought mandatory
drug testing for athletes was unconsti
tutional. "It violates the Fourth
Amendment and the right to a pre
sumption of innocence," he said. "This
is more than an academic matter. There
is an element of alarm here."
A few state courts have already ruled
such testing unconstitutional, he said.
The California Supreme Court has
awarded more than half a million dol

after refusing mandatory testing.

resources we have left for next year."
This year will be a difficult one for
the University, but the situation should
improve somewhat in the spring se
mester because officials will have more
time to plan how to manage the avail
able resources. Cell said.
Graduate students were handing out
fliers to students at dropadd to increase
awareness of the severity of the budget
cuts.
Clint Shaffer, a graduate student in
the German department, said he hoped
to convince students to take action to
save the University.
"Probably right now it's not as bad as
people expected, but it stands a very
good chance of getting worse," he said.
"In my opinion, the only thing you can
do now is change the legislature or let
the legislature know much more strongly
than we have in the past that it doesn't
take much to destroy the University.
'The University really went to bat
for us this time to stave off the worst
effects; next time the state has to start to
change."
The University police department reorganized and
promoted 13 officers. Soon afterward, Edwards and
several other officers filed discrimination grievances
against the department.
The University Staff Employee Grievance Committee
found no evidence of racial or sexual discrimination in
the police department's promotion practices. The
committee did not make recommendations for im
provement. Edwards, charging that the entire grievance process
was unfair, continued with her grievance while the
other off icers dropped their cases. Her decision even
tually led to step four in the grievance process, which
went beyond the University's jurisdiction to state
court.
Edwards' court hearing before a state judge at step
four in the grievance process was postponed because
of a scheduling conflict in the attorney general's
office.
State judge Delores Nesnow denied the University's
request to dismiss Edwards' case.
Edwards' court hearing ended, with the judge's deci
sion still pending.
Edwards filed civil suit against the UNC Board of
Trustees, the Chancellor and various University offi
cials. Nesnow founds that Edwards was discriminated
against on the basis of race and sex.
The University decides to appeal the finding.

Governors and other UNC officials and
requests punitive damages of $250,000.
Edwards and McSurely are amending
