Robert Shelton, UNC’s new provost, was formally introduced to the council. He said he had been touring various departments of the University so he could get a better feel for the campus. “I can’t begin to describe the person al and professional satisfaction I have had in the past 10 days at Carolina,” Shelton said. “It is a pure pleasure to be here." Council members also asked legislators about a possible loss of municipal funds because of the state budget crisis. Because municipalities do not have the authority to collect sales, utility franchise or intangible taxes, the state collects those taxes and reimburses the town for some of them. Town Manager Cal Horton said he is afraid the town will send the money and not receive reimbursement. “I’m afraid we might get the first half of the deal. That would mean a $700,000 cut for us.” Hackney said keeping reimburse ment funds is the governor’s decision at this point in the fiscal year. After the Orange County Health Dept.

The board voted 7-3 to repeal the previous standards, which de-empha sized the role of evolution in the state’s scientific standards for education. Janet Waugh, board vice chair woman, said the repeal was caused by the controversial nature of the original statutes and the departure of two board members after last fall’s elections. The two, including former Chairwoman Linda Holloway, voted for de-empha sizing evolution in 1999. “We lost stand ing with that (repeal),” Waugh said. But some were not pleased with the decision. Mike Mosiman, executive director of Midland Ministries, a Christian youth ministry in northeast Kansas, said he is disappointed the board overturned its previous decision. “It was the first board with the guts to say that evolution is just a theory,” he said. “The kids now are in school and they are taught that (Biblical) creation is false." Board member Steve Abrams, although unsupportive of creationism in science classes, said the teaching of evo lution needs to be balanced with evi dence that does not support the theory. Abrams was one of the board mem bers who voted in favor of the previous standards for statewide curriculum. Waugh said standards are usually rewritten every four years. In 1999, the standards set by the official 27-person sci ence committee were revised by board members who objected to the document Lisa Nathanson, a legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and western Missouri, said the controversial document incited only one county to change its curriculum. “We Monday, February 19, 2001 heard from the extremes and everybody in between,” she said. “The moderates have been in favor of not challenging the status quo because it’s too expensive to have the government in court.” Nathanson also said the August 1999 decision was in direct violation of Supreme Court decisions that separated church and state. “The Supreme Court has made it very clear that there is a big difference between science and reli gion,” she said. “Evolution is science and creationism is religion. Furthermore, evolution and creationism don’t have to be mutually exclusive.” And Waugh shares views similar to that of Nathanson. “I believe that the orig inal document was adopted due to fun damentalist religious beliefs on the board,” she said. “Those beliefs can be taught in the school system, but it needs to be taught in a comparative religion class.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu. 5
