high enough to compete for faculty and
staff.
The firm created a benefits index by
comparing UNC with 13 major univer
sities it competes with for faculty and
1 1 triangle area companies it competes
with for staff, Hardin said.
The University pays about half of the
benefits' costs for faculty and staff,
while competing schools and businesses
pay almost the full cost of benefits, the
report stated.
"We are not competitive frankly with
most universities in our group," Hardin
said.

triangle businesses in terms of employer
paid benefits, but fifth in overall ben
efits. The firm also asked employees how
they felt about their benefits and what
changes they would make.
"The percentage index (employee
opinion) pretty well bears out the ben
efits index," Hardin said. "Faculty per

Employees said the two worst areas
in terms of benefits were retirement and
medical coverage, the report stated.

the sculpture be moved to a less public
spot.
Balk said people offended by the
sculpture had misinterpreted it. The
aesthetic value of the statues has not
been a central issue.
Hardin said University police were
keeping a 24-hour watch on the statues
at his request. The increased security
won't cost much, he said.
"I don't think anyone on campus
would vandalize the sculpture, but you
can't tell what someone might do, given
all the exposure it's received," he said.
Hardin did not know if he would
attend the meeting Hildebolt called for
Tuesday, he said. "If I'm available, I
probably will go by just to listen," he
said.
Hildebolt said he called the meeting
because he thought students should
debate the issues surrounding the
sculpture and what to do with the art
work. Art
sculpture's future if protests continued.
'Thank gosh I'm not in that posi
tion," he said. "If it becomes something
big, and umpteen students gang up on
this piece, they should take a look at it.
In my opinion, if they ask an artist to do
something, and they approve the
sketches and put the artwork up, then
they should learn to live with it."
William Massey, associate vice
chancellor of University Relations, said
the committee formed in 1985 that de
cided about the artwork consisted of
Massey, administrators of four offices,
the Class of '85 president and the gift
selection chairman of the class.
The committee picked artist Julia
Balk unanimously and approved her
sketches of the statues, Massey said.

much supervision."
Hardin cited the University's lack of
legal control over fraternities, tolerance
by the Chapel Hill Police Department
and inability of alumni who own frater
nity houses to control members as ex
amples of the lack of supervision.
Fraternity leaders probably would
make plans to improve fraternities' ac
"The real point is to open (the meet
ing) up and let people speak," he said.
"Anyone's invited to speak their mind
or just listen. If it degenerates into a
shouting match, I think I would just
have to call it off," he said. "We'll ask
anyone who wants to yell and shout to
leave.
"There are going to be a lot of people
paying attention to what we do Tuesday
night, and if we can't maintain control
we're going to look pretty dumb."
Hildebolt asked the University's
Board of Trustees at their meeting Fri
day to leave the decision to the students.
"It was my opinion, and I think a lot
of the trustees agreed, that it really wasn't
a place where the trustees should step
in," he said.
A decision may not be made on the
sculpture for some time, Hildebolt said.
"People who are saying 'we want
this decision made in three days' should
realize that the decision you could make
an initial idea," he said. "After thatjt
becomes part of the artistic process."
The committee did not see Balk's
work during its creation, Massey said.
The University's only role in the place
ment of the statues was the preparation
of the site. Balk placed the statues in
front of Davis with the help of her own
installers.

sculpture had been positive for the

Hardin said, "There hasn't been this;
good a discussion about sensitive ideas
on campus for quite some time. This has
gotten people thinking about things that
we previously ignored. , ;
'The most positive thing about it is;
that we've all learned something about
the subjectivity of art," he said.
'This is not a case of someone doing;
a racist act. This is a case of artistic
expression being the subject of honest
disagreement."

"In no way was it the artist's inten-

racist, and I think people are consistent:
in acknowledging that," Massey said.
"As individuals, we can approach the.:

it. It's part of the role of the University, ';
to discuss and debate, and part of the
purpose of art."
