Trustees OK Dorm Increase
The UNC-A Board of
Trustees approved a
dormitory operating
budget which includes
a 5% increase in the
cost of renting a
dorm room next year,
at it's second meet
ing of the 1975-1976
academic year. Stu
dent Government Pres
ident Gary Aiken, a
voting ex officio
member of the Board,
was the only Trustee
voting against the
dorm budget.
The Nov. 26 meet
ing, held in the Ad
ministration Confer
ence Room, was called
to order at 3:05 by
newly elected Chairman
Dr. Francis A. Buchan
an.
UNC-A Vice-Chancel-
lor for Finance Pott
explained his propos
ed dormitory budget to
the Board. Pott said
the costs to operate
the dorms are not cov
ered by the $420 doub
le or $500 single ren
tal fees, and must be
made up from other
sources. He admitted
the deficit was due to
lack of full occupancy
in the past, but said
that "practically, the
system is full."
Aiken appealed to
Board members to be
come aware of the sit
uation in the dorms,
and said he felt the
5% increase would
prove harmful to the
dorms. Chancellor
Highsmith said accep
tance of the dorms as
designed was "the
single greatest mis
take this institution
has made." He said
the dorms are a pro
blem "which has no
solution."
The Trustees also
approved a resolution
requesting the trans
fer of $12,000 from
student center re
serves to be used for
a new parking lot.
The resolution must be
approved by the Board
of Governors before
becoming effective.

will provide only a-
bout 100 additional
parking spaces. He
said it, "will great
ly alleviate a severe
problem but will not
solve it." A study
will be made early
next year to determine
the site and cost of
the new lot. The two
most likely sites at
this time are below
the science building
and across from the
new social science
building.
The third major ac
tion of the Board at
its Nov. 26 meeting
was the approval of
the new faculty tenure
document. The docu
ment, distributed to
the UNC-A faculty
three weeks ago, is a
combination of the re
commendations of pre
vious documents and
guidelines determined
by Chapel Hill.
Chancellor Highsmith
admitted that consid
erable disagreement
exists on campus re
garding the document.
He said there are two
significant differ
ences in the new and
the 1973 documents.
First, the new docu-
