Committee not open to change, employees ay
By THOMAS HEALY
Senior Writer
A University committee responsible
for developing a new employee griev
ance process heard criticisms and sug
gestions concerning the committee's
proposal from about 14 employees
Monday.
But many of the employees present
at the meeting said they felt the com
mittee was on the defensive and not
open to change. The employees have
criticized the committee's proposed
policy because it prohibits lawyers in
the first three steps of the grievance
procedure and gives the jurisdiction of
Step I hearings to supervisors wnnin
the employees department.
Under the system now, Step 1 is
handled within departments, Step 2 is
heard by the employee relations office,
Foram addresses segregation
in University residence halls
By STEVE P0LITI
Staff Writer
Participants in an open forum Mon
day night discussed segregation in
University housing and presented ideas
what could be done to make mi
norities feel more accepted on North
Campus.
Seven panelists and about 20 students
and faculty attended the forum, which
was held in the Upendo Lounge. Ihe
Residence Hall Association and the
Black Student Movement sponsored the
forum.
The forum was held in response to a
recent survey printed in the Black Ink,
which indicated that 67 percent of Af
rican-American students live in the four
South Campus residence halls. Twenty-
five percent of the African-American
students live in Morrison Residence
Hall.
"With a very large white population,
North Campus becomes the embodi
ment of that whole notion of that this is
their campus, and I'm an outsider," said
Sabrina Evans, a panelist and president
of the BSM.
Shepelle Watkins,the RHA executive
adviser of minority affairs, said, "I think
there are several reasons why there is
UNC-system
against affirmative action decision
By CARRINGT0N WELLS
Staff Writer
UNC-system lawyers will file a pe
tition Friday requesting a rehearing on
last week's court decision that requires
all universities to comply with federal
affirmative action regulations, said
Thomas Ziko, a special deputy attorney
general.
A panel of three judges trom the 4tn
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
Oct. 29 that the federal government had
the right to require all system schools to
submit affirmative action plans, even
those that did not have federal con
tracts.
"We feel that the federal government
should not subject us to investigation
and review which they do not have the
authority to require of us," Ziko said.
"They do have the authority when a
particular campus has a federal con
tract, but not in the absence ot sucn a
Advisory board to aid BCC
By STACEY KAPLAN
Staff Writer
Plans for a new B lack Cultural Center
building may be solidifying with the
creation of an advisory board and the
appointment of Harold Wallace, vice
chancellor for University affairs, as
chairman.
Having an advisory board instead of
the temporary planning committee will
allow more structure and anchored
planning for the next five to 10 years,
said Margo Crawford, BCC director,
"I'm very optimistic that the entire board
will build a flagship BCC.
Asa Bell, co-chairman of the board,
said the change would be a positive one
for the BCC.
"We now have a stable and permanent
board to assist Margo (Crawford) and
give direction to the BCC," he said.
"It's always good to have new life and
new perspectives on a board or com
mittee." The advjsory board will facilitate the
movement toward constructing a per
manent building for the BCC, Bell said.
"It (the advisory board) is a positive
step because more people will be able to
listen and do the leg work to find out
how to go about getting a building," he
said.
At the board's Oct. 11 meeting,
members elected Wallace as chairman
of the board.
Wallace said the posit ion of chairman
presented a challenge and tremendous
responsibility to which he would devote
the amount of time it deserved.
Bell said Wallace would be an asset
to the advisory board because of his past
involvement with the BCC. "He envi
sioned the BCC long before there was a
BCC," he said.
Step 3 is ruled on by a panel outside the
department that reports to the chancel
lor, and Step 4 is heard outside the
University.
Kay Wijnbergi an employee in the
School of Law and a member of the
State Employees Association of North
Carolina, said she thought the committee
members were set in their positions on
the major issues. Those issues concern
legal representation in the procedure
and the fact that Step 2 is heard by one
of the employees' supervisors, she said.
"As an idea is presented, they alter
natively present their rationale for why
they want to keep it the way they've
written it," she said. "I saw more a
defense of their position as opposed to
an openness of what the employees
were saying to them."
Peter Schledorn, an employee in
segregation on South Campus. Fresh
men ask their friends who have gone to
Carolina where the best place is to live
on campus. They will frequently tell
them that the majority of black students
stay on South Campus. That just starts a
cycle.
"I do think that a lot of black students
remain on South Campus because they
are comfortable there," she said. "What
I am concerned about is that percentage
of black students that like living on
South Campus but would also like
considering living on North Campus
but don't seem comfortable about doing
so."
Several students who attended the
forum agreed with the panelists that
African-American students find that
South Campus has a "community feel
ing" for minorities that is missing on
North Campus.
Wayne Kuncl, a panelist and housing
director, said encouraging minorities to
move to North Campus might defeat the
community feeling.
A long-range solution would be in
creasing minority enrollment, he said.
Panelists suggested a Multicultural
Building be built on North Campus to
make minorities feel more comfortable.
lawyers to
contract," he said.
The University of North Carolina at
Asheville and the North Carolina School
of the Arts do not have federal contracts,
according to the case.
The three-judge appeals panel, which
handed down the decision last week,
will decide whether to rehear the case.
"If one of these judges circulates our
petition amongst the other seven judges
of the appeals court, any one of the 10
judges can ask for a vote on whether it
is to be heard en banc (by the entire
court)," Ziko said.
If the case is not heard again by the
Court of Appeals, UNC lawyers can
petition the U.S. Supreme Court.
"I would assume that since we've
taken it this far, we would petition for a
writ of certioraris, meaning that we
would be asking the Supreme Court to
exercise their discretion to hear the
case," Ziko said.
Wallace said the advisory board's
facilities committee presented a pre
liminary report to the board last week
about the building of a BCC facility.
The complete report will be issued in a
few weeks, he said.
The board will use the report to make
recommendations for a transitional plan
for the BCC, decide on methods of
funding for the project and recommend
ways to implement last year's feasibil
ity study, he said.
The feasibility study called for the
construction of a student activities
building similar to the Student Union,
he said.

tablished the initial plans for the cre
ation of the BCC in 1988. The committee
was formed in 1984 to establish bylaws,

Sophomore
By JENNIFER MUELLER
Staff Writer
Recovery is slow but steady for Jay
Egolf after an Oct. 2 1 car accident that
left him in critical condition with mas
sive head injuries.
The UNC sophomore from
Hendersonville is now in intermediate
care at Baptist Hospital in Winston
Salem, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Alycia Minter, a nurse at the hospi
tal, said Egolf is in stable condition and
doing better.
, Egolf was visiting Boone two weeks
ago when the car he was a passenger in
careened off Howard's Creek Road and
down an embankment. Daniel Krug,
Egolf s roommate, said that Egolf s side

agreed. "It sounded like they were try
ing to pitch it to us, rather than asking
for our comments."
Although he thought good arguments
were made and there was good discus
sion, Schledorn said he was not sure if
the employees accomplished anything.
BenTuchi, chairman of the grievance
committee and vice chancellor of
business and finance, said an assessment
of the members' reaction was in the eye
of the beholder.
But he pointed out that in the last two
weeks the committee has made more
than 30 changes to the proposed policy
as a result of suggestions from SEANC
members and other employees.
That fact should assure employees
that the committee is listening to their
opinions, but that doesn't necessarily
Kuncl proposed that the University
require all students to take a "Freshman
101" course to teach students about race
relations and University life.
Despite the small turnout, panelists
said the forum helped bring the issue of
segregation out into the open.
Panelist Shawna Pinckney, who is
also BSM executive assistant and a li
aison to the Housing Advisory Board,
said, "There was definitely a lot ac
complished. We discussed a lot of ideas
about how people are really feeling. A
lot of the issues that came out of this
forum can definitely be implemented in
some fashion in the near future.
"At least I know that my concerns
and the Black Student Movement's
concerns are also the concerns of the
white population on campus, the housing
advisory board, and the housing de
partment." Watkins said it was usually difficult
to get a large number of students to
attend a forum of this nature.
"I just wish a lot more students would
have attended," she said, "It's the same
people who have the same concerns as
ours who come. The people who aren't
really pressed about it are the people
who need to be here."

He expects to receive a response to
the petition in 30 days, Ziko said. If it is
denied, UNC lawyers have 90 days to
petition to the Supreme Court.
UNC is contesting the decision as a
matter of establishing jurisdiction, not
because there would be difficulty com
plying with the federal regulation, Ziko
said.
'There have never been any allega
tions that UNC's affirmative action
programs are not entirely in keeping
with federal regulations.
'The final result of this case won't
have an earth-shattering effect on how
the university system does business,"
he said. "The quest ion is whether schools
that don't have federal contracts should
be subject to federal regulations."
Irving Goldstein, the lawyer repre
senting the Labor Department in the
case, could not be reached for com

The appointment of Crawford as BCC
director was one of the best decisions
the committee ever made, said Bell, a
member of the committee since 1985.
The 12-member advisory board is
composed of students, faculty, staff and
members of the community who par
ticipate in four standing committees:
facilities, financial, programming and
nominating.
Crawford said the board met bi
weekly. A retreat at the Omni Europa
Hotel is scheduled for the board Satur
day to discuss the advisory board's by
laws. The establishment of an advisory
board was planned since the BCC was
created in 1988, but was delayed because
of a focus on oroeramming, Crawford
said.

minutes to extract him from the wreck

19, a sophomore at Appalachian State
University, was found to have a .12

accident, Krug said.
Egolf was transferred from a hospital
in Boone to Baptist Hospital after fail

As of Oct. 3 1 , Egolf was moved out

mean the committee will make all the
suggested changes, Tuchi said.
But SEANC members said the ma
jority of changes were technical and
wording revisions and did not touch on
the substantive issues.
Wijnberg said she thought the com
mittee wanted to appear open to sug
gestions without in fact being open.
The committee has made some valu
able revisions to the old grievance
policy, but those revisions shroud the
fact that the committee is taking away
employee rights, such as legal repre

Motorcycle club
loss of parking
By BRIAN GOLSON
Staff Writer
The Carolina Rams Motorcycle
Club has been formed to represent
motorcyclists' concerns about the lack
of campus parking.
'The club was formed to provide
motorcyclists with a combined voice
to approach the parking department
on motorcycle parking grievances and
to provide an organized club forpeople
to socially ride motorcycles, said Lad
Carrington, Carolina Rams president.
The club was formed last month by
Carrington and Vice President Ken
Bernstein after three motorcycle
parking areas near Hamilton, Sitterson
and Phillips halls were eliminated,
Carrington said. The club now has
around 50 members.
'These lots were eliminated with
out obtaining any input or consider
ation from the people who would be
affected," Carrington said.
Bernstein said the Parking and
Transportation Department eliminated
the lots because motorcycles were
obstructing pedestrian walkways.
By removing these parking areas,
the department has forced motorcy
clists to park in crowded lots and on
walkways, which increases the park
ing problem, he said. Many motorcy
clists now park in a small lot behind

Krug said Egolf received a small
hole in his bladder and cerebral contu
sions on the left side of his brain. The
swelling went down two days after the
accident, but it probably will take sev
eral months before Egolf fully recovers.
"There are neurological connections
which have to be relearned," he said.
"With rehabilitation, he should be able
to get back to normal, but it's going to
take a while."
Jenny Egolf said her brother should
be out of the hospital in about two
weeks. "He'll have to go through

The committee has since changed
much of the language of the proposal
but has continued to deny requests by

be allowed to have legal representation
at all grievance hearings. The
committee's proposal bans lawyers at

Motorcyclists who paid the $84
parking sticker fee are upset that the
University no longer provides ad

Carrington said the parking and
transportation department was con
ducting a survey to study the problem,
but he was not encouraged by their
actions.
The club plans to draft a letter which
will list problems about the parking
situation and will offer possible solu

About 30 people attended a 100

by the club Nov. 3. Bernstein said he
was encouraged by the turnout for the
club's first event. After the ride, six
prizes were awarded in a variety of
categories.
Several Duke students participated
in the ride and are planning to form
their own club, Carrington said. He
said he hoped an intercollegiate mo

to help coordinate clubs activities.
