UNC alumnus named
to development post,
will help raise money
By Jenny Mclnnis
Staff Writer
Arch Allen's commitment to the
University has brought him back to
Chapel Hill 26 years after he graduated
from the UNC School of Law.
Allen was named UNC vice chancel
lor for development and university rela
tions at Friday's BOG meeting.
He earned his bachelor's degree in
business from UNC in 1962 and a law
degree in 1965.
"Part of the joy of this job will be
learning more about this wonderful
place," said Allen, a former Raleigh
lawyer.
Allen will replace PhilipNelson, who
has held the position on an interim basis
since June 1.
One of Allen's duties as vice chan
cellor is helping the Bicentennial Cam
paign to raise $300 million. "I am hop
ing it will be a great success, he said.
My approach is to listen and learn
first," he said, adding that he didn't
have any specific goals. "I want only
the highest ethics in both of the offices."
After working for the same law firm
for 23 years, Allen said he was looking
for a change in his life.
"I went through a re-education and
broadening of the perspective of life
Communication
long a one-industry town with UNC at
the center of civic life, needs protection
from University growth that threatens
residents' property and lifestyles.
I don t think what the town council
wants is every detail of University con
struction," said council member Joe
Herzenberg. "But if there's a major
building that's going to disrupt traffic
patterns, that's something different."
Council member Julie Andresen said
the town's input was worth little unless
UNC officials responded to objections.
I don t think that we are going to be
able to stop the University's develop
ment," Andresen said. "But how it's
done, and what decisions are made now.
is going to be crucial."
Wilkerson is meeting with Tuchi to
day and said he would propose that the
University hire a planning and develop
ment liaison to work with the town.
"Communication means to me that
one is at a stage where there can be
meaningful alterations of plans before
they're set in stone," Wilkerson said.
John Sanders, chairman of the
University's Buildings and Grounds
Committee and director of the Institute
of Government, blamed the latest fric
tion on election-year politics.

and what I want to do with mine."
His private law practice also was not
as fulfilling recently as it had once been,
.Allen said.
Allen is a former member of the
UNC Board of Trustees and the N.C.
Board of Ethics.
Chancellor Paul Hardin said in a news
release, "I am delighted that a third
generation alumnus whose family has
an outstanding record of service to pub
lic education in North Carolina will be
joining the university in this very re
sponsible position."

Allen said Hardin had promised to
make the job as challenging as possible

him, Allen said.
"I hope to be here for a very long
time."
"I don't think there was much politi
cal advantage in beating up on the Uni
versity until fairly recently," Sanders
said. "There are probably more votes to
be had in being seen as a critic of the
University than there are in being seen
as a friend."
Ironically, he said, the University
drafted its much-criticized land use plan
to escape its habit of haphazard devel
opment, but local officials have made
political hay of it.
University officials must protect the
interests of the campus, Sanders said.
"When you have people involved
from outside the University who have
no responsibility for the establishment,
maintenance and improvement of Uni
versity programs ... they bring other
agendas to the planning, which compli
cates things for the University," he said.
Gordon Rutherford, UNC's director
of facilities planning and design, said
administrators sometimes withhold in
formation to get trustees' approval of
plans before discussing them.
Another problem, Tuchi said, is that
many proposals never make it off the
drawing board. "The difficulty is that
one doesn't know which ones are going

new Black Ink
By Jennifer Talhelm
Staff Writer
The Black Ink added new faces to its
staff this year, including Myron Pitts,
the new editor.
Pitts, a junior journalism major from
Fayetteville, was unofficially chosen to
be editor last year by then co-editors
Erika Campbell and N'Gai Wright.The
Black Student Movement central com
mittee approved the choice this year.
Campbell, editorial adviser for the
Black Ink this year, said Pitts was an
excellent choice. "He has the ability to
be the best," Campbell said. "He has the
ability to make the Black Ink the best."
Campbell said an important factor in
Pitts' selection was that he is a junior.
"Part of the emphasis was to get a
group to teach the Black Ink and keep it
going," she said.
Noise made by power plant
boilers to end in November
By Andrew Cline
Staff Writer
Loud noises created by the
University's new power plant should
cease by the end of November, the
plant's director of special projects said
Wednesday.
"Most of the noise people are com
plaining about is relative to the testing
of the new boiler," Director Tom
Grisham said.
The new boilers were built to replace
the University's five old ones that were
constructed between the 1930s and '50s,
Grisham said. The boilers will produce
steam used to power the generator that
provides electricity for the University.
Starting the boi lers requires the open
ing of large valves. The flow of air
through the valves creates a loud,
whistle-like noise, Grisham said.
The sounds from the valves have
Freshmen to
By Amy Eslinger

Freshmen will be introduced to an
other aspect of University life in the
next two weeks.
The Undergraduate Student Court
and the Student Attorney General's of
fice will present programs about the
Honor Code to all freshmen living in
University residence halls.
Nancy Zucker, student attorney gen
eral, said the presentations will cover
the different code violations. "It ex
plains a lot about plagiarism," she said.
Lying, copying and stealing also are
breaches of the Honor Code. Atten
dance is mandatory at the Honor Court

the University is open to criticism that
it's keeping plans under wraps.
Pitts said the Black Ink staff would
be larger this year, which would be an
advantage. "Once we have this staff
trained, we'll have a continuing body to
carry on the knowledge of how to run
the Black Ink."
Toija Riggins, BSM minister of in
formation, said the Black Ink served as
a news source for the BSM.
"The paper is for the BSM, and it
reflects news of the BSM," she said, "It
highlights cultural events and changes
and also updates readers about specific
events going on in the BSM. That doesn't
mean everyone thinks the same way, or
the editors think that way."
Pitts said he planned to keep the
Black Ink basically the same, but that
some structural changes would be made.
"I plan to add a bit more organization."
This means having designated sec
tions for news, features and editorials.
prompted complaints from residents
near the new plant, a part of the UNC
Physical Plant on Cameron Avenue.
"It'll make a great loud noise," said
South Graham Street resident Flossie
Durham. "It's sometimes scary."
Rosetta Barbee, who lives near the
plant said, "It's just so loud. It sounds
like something blew up."
Grisham said he is working on stop
ping the noise from the boiler valves.
"It will take at least amonth or two to re
pipe the boiler valves so they don't
make that loud noise, because the valves
are 1 10 feet tall," he said.
Unfortunately, Grisham said, noise
from the boilers has not been the only
community relations problem for the
plant. Residents have complained about
noises possibly caused by fans used to
filter the air, Grisham said, adding that
he is working to correct the problem.
Also, several new houses built be

The presentations also teach fresh
men about UNC's Campus Code, she
said. Violations to this code include
vandalism, misuse of a student identifi
cation card, racial and sexual harass
ment, and lying to a campus official.
Each person in charge of the presen
tations will be given a list of freshmen
who live in that residence hall. "We will
take roll," Zucker said.
Lori Greene, a sophomore from
Swainsville, said she attended the Honor
Court's presentation when she was a
freshman. "I was interested in finding
out what the Honor System was about,"
she said.
Students learned more about their
responsibility to be honest at the Uni
versity during the meetings, Greene said.
"I realized how serious the Honor Code

he said. He also plans to have another
section in each issue as news dictates.
"It could be sports or something else.
It all depends on how the news runs in
the two-week interim between issues."
Pitts said he wanted to continue the
opinion section, historically the Black
Ink's strong point.
"A lot of writers feel more comfort
able expressing certain minority views
in the Ink whereas they might be less
inclined to express such views in other
campus outlets."
Pitts said many of the issues the pa
per covers would be controversial and
some would be humorous with an un
derlying social message.
"My staff and I really expect the
Black Ink to put out an excellent prod
uct that will interest, entertain, and most
of all, inform a large part of the cam

have been covered by dust and soot
released from the plant.
The houses, located on Cameron
Glen, may all have to be repainted, said
Charlie Smith, a painter and builder
from Pittsboro who helped construct
the houses.
Referring to a specific house, Smith
said, "This house will have to be re
painted, probably all of them."
Grisham said the dirt is caused by
large trucks driving on unpaved roads.
Any problems created by dirt and soot
released during the renovation process
should end when the roads are paved.
The old plant produced a large amount
of soot because of its inefficient burn
ing process, Grisham said. The new
plant should create almost no dust.
Grisham suggested that nearby resi
dents not repaint their houses until the
roads at the plant are paved.
Honor Code
But Brad Gardner, a sophomore from
Shelby, said, "I went because they told
us it was mandatory."
The code is too strict in certain in
stances, he said.
"I think the rules on plagiarism are
ridiculous. It is hard to convey the
author's true idea's when you alter it too
much."
Michelle Reynolds, a senior from
Greensboro, said as a freshman she
didn't attend the presentation because
she didn't think it was important. "It
probably influences others, but my per
sonal morals control me," she said.
Diane Dickerson, a senior from Ra
leigh, said the program was helpful. "It
makes you think twice before you
cheat," she said.
