2 Monday, October 23,1995 Many Parents Say They Support Tuition Hike ■ Parents commented on the tuition hike and the campus during Family Weekend. BY JAMIE GRISWOLD STAFF WRITER Johnny and Martha Woody stood out side the Student Union in the rain Friday waiting for their son, Senior Class Presi dent Thad Woody, to give them a tour of the University. The Woody s were two of the hundreds of parents who came to the University for Carolina Family Weekend. Parents toured the University, watched the Homecoming football game and attended the Carolina Legacy Brunch at the Carolina Inn. Johnny Woody said despite UNC’sdrop in U.S. News and World Report’s college ranking, he was proud his son was attend ing UNC. “The ranking is one thing, but what he’s (Thad) received down here is another,” Woody said. “It is more beneficial.” Many parents were reluctant to com ment on newly installed Chancellor Michael Hooker because they said they did not know enough about him, but Denise Dastous of Tyngsboro, Mass., was an ex ception. “1 know that at (the University of Mas sachusetts at Amherst) he was notorious for the increase in tuition, so I hope that trend does not carry down here,” said Dastous, whose son Peter is a junior. Fifteen of 20 parents interviewed said they supported the S4OO tuition increase that was passed by the Board ofTrustees in September. r Johnny Woody said he was opposed to the tuition increase, and he thought the timing of the increase was poor. “I don’t think they studied it enough before they put it into effect, ” said Johnny Woody, who is from Bethel. “Theyshould have waited to see what the state legisla ture was going to do with their hike first.” Marge Puccioni of Healdsburg, Calif., described the increase as a “necessary evil. ” “(The University) needs more money to operate, so it has to come from some where. We’re out-of-state, so we should UNC Student Groups Help Register 1,000 Voters ■ Organizers now plan to shift their focus from voter registration to getting voters to the polls next month.

Steve Baker of Gumming, Ga., said he realized that the University’s operating costs increased over time, and he said in creases needed to be covered. “We really are not opposed to (the tu ition increase) at this time,” he said. “No body likes to keep paying more and more, but the school expenses go up.” Arlene Bums of Wilmington said she thought it was time for a tuition increase because other schools were increasing tu ition. “My husband and I think this is an excellent education at a reasonable price, so we don’t have any negative feelings AMY SWAN said success of the drive was due to coopera tion from the various student groups. tion with those gath ered by Alpha Phi Alpha and other campus groups, to taled over 1,000.

Her daughter, Drew Bums, is a junior. John Everett and Terry Nunes Everett of Bath said they would be doubly affected by the tuition increase because both of their children attend UNC. Their daugh ter, Morey, is a senior, and their son, John, is a freshman, but the Everetts said they support the increase. “I’ve always been proud of the quality of the University and of the professors that are here," Terry Nunes Everett said. “I think the only way to keep the professors we ha ve and to be competitive with private universities that pay high salaries is to pay higher salaries.” marshals and had them target groups they were in,” said John Dervin, co-chairman of Senior Corps. The group also set up tables in the Pit, Dervin said. Dervin said Senior Corps added about 300 registration forms to the drive. He believed the total number of people regis tered by the drive was more than 1,000. “I think it was a huge success; it was good for the groups involved to work to gether in preparation for future drives,” Dervin said. Now the focus of the registration drive has shifted to getting those who are regis tered to the polls. “What we need to do now is focus on publicizing poll sites and getting students to the polls,” Dervin said. Dervin said some plans were being made to post maps with directions to the polls in the residence halls and organize a carpool for students with transportation difficul ties. “Voter registration is incomplete with out voter mobilization,” Dervin said.

UNIVERSITY John Everett, a 1968 UNC graduate, said he agreed that UNC needed a tuition increase to maintain the University’s qual ity. “I don'tknow ifthe total s4oois needed,” he said. “But I know that they need to increase the salaries of the professors.” Although it rained on Friday afternoon, some parents decided to tour the Univer sity with their children. Despite the bad weather, all interviewed said they were impressed with the campus. Tina Baker of Cumming, Ga., whose daughter, Erin, is a sophomore at UNC, said, “Most of the books you read say it’s the closest thing to heaven, and it is.” “I think it was a huge success; it was good for the groups involved to work together in preparation forfuture drives. ” ' * ' ■ • • ; JOHN DERVIN Senior Corps Co-chairman voter’s guide with a compilation of how each candidate stands on key student is sues and organizing a shuttle service to take students to off-campus polling sites, Swan said. One concern with transporting students is liability in case of an accident, Swan said. Budget constraints also will have an effect on the final decision, she said. Dervin expressed optimism for campus voter turnout. “Hopefully students will become more involved in die election pro cess,” Dervin said. 1-800-300-PREP Hooker Philosophizes On Faith and Reason BY KATIE TYSON STAFF WRITER Chancellor Michael Hooker changed hats Sunday and became Professor Hooker as he gave a philosophical viewpoint in “Religion, Politics and the University Allies or Adversaries.” Hooker was the keynote speaker at the annual Autumn Sunday Symposium spon sored by the Institute for die Arts and Humanities. Although he has served as an academic administrator for the past two decades, Hooker earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy from UNC in 1969and taught philosophy at Harvard University in the eariy 19705. Hooker also serves as a phi losophy professor at UNC. His presentation was followed by com mentaries from William H. Chafe, dean of arts and sciences at Duke University, and Ruel W. Tyson Jr., UNC professor of reli gious studies and the director of the Insti tute of the Arts and Humanities. “People who have faith that something is true should not be swayed by a university education,” Hooker said. “Faith is at least STATE FAIR FROM PAGE 1 Chapel Hill, were competing to win the car by dying to sit in the car the longest.

Tyson said public happiness would be jeopardized if religion and politics were not kept separate. Lloyd Kramer, associate director of the Institute of the Arts and Humanities, said each speaker gave an alternate view of the relationship among religion, politics and the university. “Hooker gave us an opti mistic view between faith and reason,” he said. Kramer said Chafe found no funda mental conflict between the traditions and Tyson found a conflict between what the university should promote and the under currents in society, such as religion and politics. people at the fair. “Working here is defi nitely an experience,” Crocker said. “You see all kinds of people, and everyone’s different. Did you ever notice that?” Crocker said she traveled with the fair six months out of the year. “It’s fun to travel,” said her colleague, Carla Tunley. Some people at the fair went to dance. Tony Elliott of Gamer danced for the crowds in Dorton Arena before The Drift ers, Saturday’s entertainment, arrived. He grooved to background music as the crowds filtered in. People tossed him money, and he jigged even harder. The supervising officer ofDorton Arena, J.R. Lee, said of Elliot: “He’s been here every night. Wherever there’s music, he’s there. He just loves to dance.” Ru Sen, a 1995 Carolina graduate, en joyed dancing too. He and Jenkins, his girlfriend, shagged to the tunes of The Drifters. “At first, I was sort of embarrassed be cause not many people were dancing, ” Sen said. “But after we started and we forgot about the crowd in the seats above us, I had a blast.” UNIVERSITY CAREER SERVICES sponsors several programs: Goldman Sachs&Co. atSpanky’s at 7 p.m., Atlantic Recruiting Alliance at 3:30 p.m. in 210 Hanes Hall and Morgan Keegan & Cos. at 6:30 p.m. in 210 Hanes Hall.
