The Chancellor's

ities Lecture HaU, an
nounced Chairman of the
Chancellor's Search
Committee and Chairman
of the UNCA Board of
Trustees Thomas C.
Arnold.
"We plan to complete
the search process and
name the new chancellor
prior to Chancellor
Highsmith retiring to
teach in June of 1984,"
he said.
Chancellor William E.
Highsmith announced
last spring that he
will retire in the
spring of 1984 after
serving as UNCA chan
cellor for 22 years.
Arnold said the com
mittee is now accepting
nominations for chan
cellor. Deadline for
nominations is Jan. 31,
1984.
Arnold, a partner in
the investment counsel
ing firm. The G. Waring
Boys Co., of Asheville,
has been a UNCA Board
of Trustees member
since July 1981.
He said the search
committee is following
The Code of the Board
of Governors of the
University of North
Carolina in its search
procedures.
Basically, the com
mittee solicits nomin
ations , evaluates them,
and narrows the choices
to five candidates whom
they consider excellent
possibiUtesu.
They present these
five to the entire
board of trustees who
then choose two or
three to present to UNC
President William Fri
day.
Friday choses one cind
presents him or her to
the UNC Board of Gover
nors for final accep
tance or rejection.
"A letter is being
sent to UNCA faculty
inviting them to make
nominations," said
Arnold.
He said the Nov. 23
issue of The Chronicle
af Higher Education is
carrying an advertise
ment for applicants for
the chancellorship.
"We also plan to con
tact by letter some 400
college and university
chancellors, inviting
nominations of indivi
duals in their insti
tutions whom they feel
would make good candi
dates," Arnold said.
Nominations, comments
and suggestions may be
mailed to the committee
at: Chancellor Search
Committee, P.O. Box
18813, Asheville,N.C.

vice-chancellors are
automatically among the
nominees."

chancellors are: Lau

Catalog creates confusion
By Leigh Kelly
UNCA students who go
to the registrar's or
admissions offices to
get a 1983-84 UNCA
Catalog now find it in
tabloid instead of the
previous bookbound
paperback form.
The reason for the
switch is the tabloid
is cheaper to produce
than the paperback,
says Dr. Laurence Dorr,
vice-chancellor for
academic affairs.
"To make the Catalog
any bigger the adminis
tration would have had
to take money away from
other campus supplies
and we could not do
that," he said.
Ken Rice, Director
of Enrollment Services,
says,"Four or five tab
loids can be produced
for the cost of one
hard-bound Catalog."
It also costs ap
proximately $20,000 to
mail out bound Catalogs
which is just too ex
pensive, says Rice.
Rice and Dorr say the
university will contin
ue to put out both Ca
talog forms but there
are qualifications for
who recBives what form.
"Faculty need the
bound ones because they
are constantly refer
ring to them when ad
vising students 'and
updating programs,"
Dorr says.
"Libraries, colleges
and career counselors
from high schools and
other colleges need the
bound Catalogs," said
Rice.
However, "Students use
the things but not to
the extent that would
warrant giving them the
bound editions," says
Dorr.
Even in tabloid form.
Catalogs have been hard
to come by this semes
ter.

Streater stresses sobriety

In North Carolina 295
deaths occur each year
due to drunk driving.
These accidents usually
happen between 8 p.m.
and 8 a.m. said Steve
Streater, former all
Atlantic Conference
defensive back for the
University of North
Carolina.
Streater spoke in the
Student Center Nov. 16
at a Bacchus society
sponsored meeting.
A paraplegic from a
car accident, Streater
is now touring with
SADD (Students Against
Drunk Driving) . He
speaks at high schools
and colleges about the
dangers of mixing
drinking and driving.
"President Reagan is
trying to get a law
passed to prohibit dri
vers between ages 16
and 18 from driving
from 6 p.m. Friday
until midnight Satur
day," Streater said.
"If it's going to
save lives I agree with
it," he said.
During the holidays
Streater suggests "par
ty goers" designate a
driver, someone who
won't drink, to take
them home.
Or, "If it's not too
far, walk; it's good
exercise," he said.
