mittee was set up to re
view promotions and con
tract renewal. The com
mittee consists of six
tenured professors, two
from each of the major
academic divisions on
campus — science, social
science and humanities.
The committee is sup
posed to include student
evaluations of teachers
in its review, along with
any letters volunteered
by students and col
leagues .
The committee's recom
mendations are turned
over to the vice chancel
lor who in turn reviews
them and passes them on
to the chancellor, Dr.
Highsmith. This process
is conducted along an ob
vious hierarchial scale,
with the final decision
remaining the discretion
of the chancellor.
This is just one ex
ample of the way the UNC-
A administration insures
conformity of students
and faculty. A look at
the catalog, followed by
a careful examination of
policies on campus, shows
an obvious case of goal
displacement.

and most equitable of the
alternatives suggested up
to that time. Students
at that meeting felt
vending machines, only
operating the snack bar,
or no food service at all
would be better than the
forced investment of $260
a semester on "food," the
quality of which could
not be guaranteed.
Although the mandatory
food plan is obviously of
more concern to dorm stu
dents, each day over 600
commuter students have to
suffer the consequences
of poor quality food in
the snack bar along with
the poorer quality ser
vice. UNC-A is enduring
the services of the third
food company in eight
years, yet the same gen

ed on throughout this
period of time. Despite
persistent complaints
from students and admini
stration alike, the lad
ies in the snack bar
would apparently rather
talk among themselves
than decently serve their
customers.
Another food meeting
was recently held between
Tom Deason, Dean of Stu
dents and four members of
Student Government. Most
aspects of the admini
stration's plan for next
year were discussed and
many viable alternatives
were suggestied, A pro
posal for installation of
cooking facilities in the
dorms was mentioned along
with possibly searching
out a private firm to run
the snack bar, providing
both dorm and commuter
students with better fac
ilities than they now
have, Another proposal
to equalize fees between
dorm and commuter stu
dents to jointly pay for
a food service was also
suggested•
While it is probably
not wholly fair to force
commuters to pay for a
food service, neither is
it fair to force 250 dorm
students to pay $260 a
semester to support a
service which over 800
other people use. The
only other viable altern
ative is to completely
abolish any food service
and force no one to pay.
While many students see
this as the best alterna
tive , the administration
is concerned with future
students, seemingly more
so than with present
students.
Those in Student Gov
ernment are working to
try to ensure the most
fair and equitable food
service plan. Let your
voice be heard. Nine
hundred can do much more
to alter this unfair pol
icy than can ten.
