Consent Decree provisions
to be continued after 1986
By Quentin Sinclair
The consent decree, aimed at desegregating
the UNC system, will end on Dec. 31, 1986.
Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, Cecil
L. Patterson said its provisions will continue to
be observed. Among them, a university cannot
offer tenure to anyone without a Ph.D or ter
minal degree. NCCU has to maintain a 15 non
black student enrollment. $400 million was
granted to UNC system to improve college
facilities. This funding has resulted in the new
law building and the new gym.
After 1986 the Eastern district court will keep
the UNC system under scrutiny until 1988, after
which, the accomplishments of the consent
decree will be maintained.

Chancellor, vice chancellors
get complimentary car stickers
By Crystal D. Frazier
Students pay $35 for park
ing stickers. Faculty members
pay $50 for ptirking stickers.
But how much do the
chancellor and four vice
chancellors pay for parking
stickers?
$0.
Dr. Tyrone Baines im
plemented this complimentary
act when he became vice
chancellor for University Rela-.
tions three years ago at N.C.
Central University. He ex
plained, “People should be
proud to honor their leaders;
we do not do this enough and
besides it’s nice to honor
leaders.”
Many things that “came
along with the job” were given
to Baines in his other places of
employment, he noted. “This
is one way for the university to
show its appreciation for the
chancellor’s and the vice
chancellors’ services; it’s a
small token,” said Baines.
Baines explained that there
was no intent to single himself
out. If he had, he could then
see reason for “folks to
wonder. It was not meant to
be secretive,” Baines com
mented.
Baines feels that he deserves
this complimentary gift.
Afterall, he comes in early and
leaves later than others, he
said.

The new multi-purpose,
physical and recreational
facility at N.C. Central
University is almost complete.
“Three of the four sections are
open and the fourth section is
scheduled to open within the
next few months,” said Dr.
Carey Hughley, chairman of
the physical education/recrea
tion department.
Section A consists of a gym- i
nasties gymnasium and eight j
handball/racquetball courts. I
At the present time, anybody i
can use the courts, but there j
will be a user fee for the facul- I
ty in the future, according to j
Hughley. |
Section B is divided into two j
levels. The first level houses j
the instructional recreational [
gymnasium, which consists of i
basketball, badminton, |
volleyball, and indoor tennis. I
The second level houses a I
dance studio, indoor archery, I
a golf range, an adapted |
physical education lab, an ex- I
ercise physiology lab, a weight f
room, and a 200-seat lecture I
auditorium. |
Section C consists of three I
levels. The first level houses |
locker rooms and storage I
space. The second level houses I
faculty offices, seminar I
rooms, a faculty lounge, a |
conference room, and a slim-
nasti cs/weight control
classroom. The third level
houses a student lounge, seven
classrooms, and a reading
room.
Section D consists of a
50-meter pool, which will be
divided into three separate
teaching stations. “Section D
will hopefully be completed
within the next few months,”
said Hughley.
Hughley noted that Section
B’s gyjnnasium only has a
seating capacity of 1500,
because it is “designed for in
structional purposes.’
