Spangler: Board of Governors Didn’t Ask for Resignation
BY ROBYN TOMLIN HACKLEY
STATES NATIONAL EDITOR
UNC-sy stem President C .D. Spangler told mem
bers of the Board of Governors Friday that despite
reports to the contrary, he had not been pressured to
announce his retirement date. Spangler said he
would announce his plans in August.
But a BOG member, who spoke on the condition
of anonymity, said Sunday that a newspaper story
published Friday, which cited information from
two unnamed sources close to the board, was cor
rect. The sources told The Daily Tar Heel that
Spangler would either resign Friday or BOG Chair-

But the Red Raiders bucked tradition
and kept themselves alive by clobbering
No. 25 UNC 92-73 in front of 11,859 at the
Richmond Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.
“I did not want a particular game to
define this team or this season,” Tech
coach James Dickey said. “However, I
knew our success in March would follow
this team probably forever.
“Because they are North Carolina, and
because they have a great coach, it’s agreat

More importantly, the win keeps the

Relationships

■ A policy passed Friday

SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR
The UNC Board of Governors at
tempted to put two sensational sex scan
dals behind it at Friday's board meeting by
establishing a uniform policy to regulate
amorous relationships between students
and university employees in the system’s
16 schools.
The policy, which prohibits intimate
relations.between students and faculty
members or staff, was approved almost a
year after details of a relationship between
former UNC-Chapel Hill English profes
sor James D. Williams and a student he
supervised came to light during the
professor's divorce proceedings.

man Sam Neill would call for
a vote to ask for his resigna
tion.
“There is nothing in that
story that was not true at some
time. There was mention of a
vote to ask for Mr. Spangler’s
resignation date,” the source
said. “But when members

when they talked before the

have been shut out of the Sweet 16. It’s also
the end of the second half of a season in
which they lost seven of their final 12
games.
“There were so many games when we
played so good, then so many games when
we played so bad,” UNC guard Jeff
Mclnnis said. “It just got to the point
where you didn’t blow which team was
gonna show up.”
And two distinctly different Tar Heel
squads took the floor in the second round.
The first kept UNC close for nine minutes,
the second played out UNC’s last act.
Holding a 16-14 lead with almost nine
minutes gone in the first half, Tech’s Darvin
Ham soared between Antawn Jamison and
Serge Zwikker to follow a missed Jason
Sasser hook. On Ham’s followthrough, he
tore the rim from the glass, spraying frag
ments of the backboard across the arena
floor.
“I wasn't caught up in the moment of
breabng the backboard, I was just feeling
so good,” Ham said. “I just wanted to run
around the court run around and jump
up and down.”
As the Red Raiders woofed and bumped,
the Tar Heels exited the floor, their origi
nals never to return.
Instead, it was a different squad that
emerged from the 39-minute wait.
“I just feel that we didn’t handle it well
after the backboard broke,” Mclnnis said.
“We were just standing around watch
ing.”
Tech scored the first 10 points after the
break, beginning with back-to-back 3-point
ers by All-American Jason Sasser and sixth
man Cory Carr.
While the Tar Heels recovered, closing
the gap to two with four minutes left in the
half, they never could grasp control.
The Red Raiders finished the half on a

Two other board members confirmed that sev
eral BOG members had discussed ways of persuad
ing Spangler to disclose his plans for retirement on
Friday.
During his remarks before the board, Spangler
held up a copy of Friday’s newspaper and said,
“This morning I feel a little bit like Harry Truman.”
The headline said, “Spangler Denies Rumors of
Forced Resignation.” Spangler was referring to the
infamous 1948 headline in The Chicago Tribune
announcing that Republican presidential candidate
Thomas Dewey had defeated Democrat Harry
Truman for the presidency.

abundantly clear that no member of the Board of
Governors has asked for my resignation.”
Spangler said that all of the board members had
been very supportive of him during his 10-year
tenure as president.
After meeting with board members in closed
session for an hour and a half, Neill refused to
comment on the story saying, “I don’t comment on
rumors."
The fuss about Spangler’s retirement centers
around the question of who will get to appoint the
committee that will chose the new president when
Spangler leaves.
Student Reaction Pulls
Parking off BOT Agenda
BY MARISA FERGUSON
STAFF WRITER
A plan to restrict the evening use of 10
North Campus parking lots has been put
on hold after students and employees ex
pressed concern over the proposed changes.
Chancellor Michael Hooker asked that
the plan be postponed to allow for further
examination by student leaders, the Em
ployee Forum and the Faculty Council,
said Katherine Kraft, a chief architect of
the plan and president-elect of the Gradu-
ate and Professional
Student Associa
tion.
The plan, which
was developed by a
committee with stu
dent representa
tives, was slated to
come before the
Board ofTrustees at
its Friday meeting.
“I think it is ap
propriate that it be
temporarily post
poned to make sure
that all issues are
addressed,” Kraft said. “It is important
that the campus come to grips with the
issues that are being raised.”
Hooker was not available for comment
Sunday.
Student Body President Calvin
Cunningham said he thought more discus
sion was needed on the proposal before the
BOT considered it.
“I feel like this needs to go through a
periodofpublicdebate,” Cunningham said.
“This proposal has come down the admin
istrative pipeline like a freight train.”

Spangler will turn 65 years old on April 5,1997,
and some BOG members are anxious for him to
make his plans for the future known. Most UNC
chancellors and system presidents retire at age 65.
Spangler is expected to follow this precedent.
Policies governing the UNC system say that the
UNC-system president is chosen by a selection
committee appointed by the current BOG chair
man. The full board has the final word when they
vote on the candidate recommended by the commit
tee.

Cunningham said he would call for pub
lic hearings on the proposal and would
discuss the issue at the Transportation and
Parking Advisory Committee meeting at
3:30p.m. Tuesday inUnion 224. Themeet
ing is open to the public.
“Students have been represented in de
signing the proposal, but now the student
body needs to be heard because, from what
I’m hearing, they don’t support it,”
Cunningham said.
The proposed changes would require a
regular daytime permit or anew night per
mit to park at 10 North Campus lots from
5 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
The Resident Student Zone permit would
not be valid in the night lots.
Affected lots include the Swain lot
(NG1); Sitterson lot (NG2); Caldwell and
Steele lots (NG3); Peabody, Old East, Davis
Drive, Emerson Drive and Bynum lots
(N3); Undergraduate and Wilson Library
lots (N8) and Hanes Visitor lot.
Night parking permits would be avail
able for $64 to employees and students
with obligations requiring them to be on
campus during these hours. Kraft said she
expected the cost of a night permit to be
reduced because of recent negotiations with
the DTP.
Cunningham said he would not support
increasing the cost of nighttime parking
under the current proposal.
According to a DTP memo, the pro
posed changes would make parking easier
for employees and students who have obli
gations that require their presence on cam
pus at night.
Employee Forum Chairwoman Ann
Hamner said she was concerned that all
