2 Friday, November 8,1996 DTP, public safety department join forces ■ The two departments merged under Police Chief Don Gold on Nov. 1. BY JENNIFER PENDER STAFF WRITER University officials said Thursday the Nov. 1 merger between the Department of Transportation and Parking and the Department of Public Safety would in crease the efficiency ofboth departments. The merger was designed to stream line the services that the two departments provide, said Randy Young, marketing specialist at the DTP. The services of the two departments Contract to outline faculty, student responsibilities BY JON WILLIAMS STAFF WRrTER The Educational Policy Committee made plans to re vise a document that will outline the responsibilities of students and faculty in an effort to improve the intellectual climate on campus. The document, “Guidelines to a Co operative Learning Environment, ” is still in its draft stage. But it already contains several pro posals to ensure student rights. Having these student and faculty re sponsibilities consolidated on paper will help alleviate some of the concerns of students and add to the intellectual cli mate, said George Jackson, one of the original drafters of the document and a graduate student in health policy and TODAY at CAROUMA!

This document will help alleviate this, he said. Anthony Passannante, professor of anesthesiology, agreed. “Students want some place to look where there is a concise policy that fac ulty are subjected to,” he said. However, some concerns were raised with the document in its present form. Sara Mack, a professor in the Depart ment of Classics, was concerned with the disproportionate amount of rules out lined for faculty and students. “There are several pages devoted to faculty but not much for students,” she said. “It’s a rather an uneven setup.” Leave your mark. UNIVERSITY University Police Chief Don Gold will direct the merged departments. Gold, who became director of Public Safety last fall, has worked on the University Police force for the past 12 years. Executive Vice Chancellor Elson Floyd decided to choose Gold to head the merged department, Young said. As operations manager of University Police from August 1992 to September 1995, Gold was responsible for the gen eral management of all employees as signed to the operations division. He also coordinated special event cov erage for the University and the town of Chapel Hill, which tested his skills in collaborating with his staff and the com munity. “Chief Don Gold has proven himself a leader,” Young said. “Gold’s “.There is a concern that there might be miscommunication between students and faculty. ” GEORGE JACKSON Committee member Jackson said a lack of faculty response as to what responsibilities should be placed on students contributed to this disparity. Accountability of the faculty was an other issue raised. “I’m concerned that (the document) A Triangle Women's Health Clinic Low cost termination to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

BE ALL YOU CAN BE: Student Congress pans nighttime parking passes BY SHARIF DURHAMS ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR Student Congress members asked for input on any plan to give nighttime stu dents special parking permits before it was approved by the University at their Wednesday meeting. Rep. Charlie Roederer, Dist. 22, said he introduced legislation passed by con sent because he heard the Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee would consider selling spaces in North Campus lots to stu dents attending class scheduled af ter 5 p.m. “I think there are several issues that have failed to be ironed out,” he said. Roederer said he heard the plan would give stu dents who only have class a few nights a week a pass Committee member LEE CONNER said the plan would harm more students than it helped. that would cover all five weeknights. He said the plan would inconvenience other students who came to campus to study at the library or participated in student organizations. Lee Conner, a student member of the Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee, saidhehelpedwfitethereso lution because he was concerned that most students would be harmed if his committee instituted the plan, which it will consider at its Nov. 19 meeting. “A pilot program will come in from the committee,” he said. As for their part, old and new legisla tors agreed education would be near the top of their “to do” lists. Dana Simpson, special assistant to Speaker of the House Harold Brubaker, R-Randolph, said education was a key concern for all players in Raleigh. “Education is at the top of the Speaker’s agenda,” Simpson said. “He’ll be work ing with the Senate and the governor to ensure improvement throughout every level of education.” Kinnaird said one of her first items of Latino population has been growing. “Some estimates say the Latino com munity will be the largest ethnic group in the state within 10 years,” she said. “It’s definitely the fastest growing.” The influx of Latinos has brought not only new stores such as El Mercado Cen tral, but also new problems like language barriers and lingering racism, some say. Manson said she thought a lot of Latinos felt uncomfortable here. “I think that some (Latinos) believe there is rac ism or xenophobia (in the area),” she said. Though the Chapel Hill area itself has been very welcoming, with the annual El Pueblo Inc.-sponsored Fiesta del Pueblo being an example, the number of nega tive incidents in the surrounding areas has been growing, Manson said.

In its original form, the resolution called for Student Congress to oppose the plan. Some representatives said the resolu tion was worded too strongly, so it was amended to ask the committee to listen to the input of Student Congress repre sentatives. “That’s how it should have originally been written,” Student Body President Aaron Nelson said Thursday. During the Student Congress meet ing, Nelson told Student Congress mem bers the parking committee would listen to their opinions if they passed the reso lution. Student Congress members also ap pointed Erin Young, Katherine Oates and Heather Faulk to the Elections Board. Nelson said he planned to approve 10 other members to the board, but the stu dents had not met with the judiciary committee prior to the Student Congress meeting.

Rene Caputo, spokesman forElPueblo Inc., said Latinos got mixed signals. The Bienvenidos Campaign, which promotes communication between Latinos and the community, shows some positive change.
