(Ebr Daily (Ear lirrl 2 claim experience to lead faculty BY RACHEL HODGES AND JOE SAUNDERS STAFF WRITERS The race for Faculty Council chairman is winding down. The votes have been cast, and the results are pending. Last Friday, faculty members submitted their ballots to deter mine whether chemistry Professor Edward Samulski or law Professor Judith Wegner will get the post. The results will be announced Friday. Sue Estroff, Faculty Council chairwoman, said both candidates are qualified for the position. “Both are highly respected, well known members of the faculty,” she said. “Either of them will do a ter rific job.” Although both candidates have impressive resumes, each special izes in vastly different areas. Samulski, who began his career at the University of Connecticut, said his weakest point also is his strongest he has not followed the actions of the Faculty Council during his time at UNC.

Samulski said he has spent most of his time at UNC focusing on fac ulty salaries and how to increase them. “I believe faculty salaries should be supplemented in order to retain the best and hire the best faculty,” he said. “But there are no simple answers, and anyone who thinks there are simple answers doesn’t understand the magnitude of the situation.” In 1999, Samulski publicly cam paigned to increase salaries, even if that meant increasing student tuition to do so. He served on one of UNC’s first tuition task forces to examine the possibility of tuition dollars going to help make faculty salaries more competitive. Samulski also said the faculty should be more involved in the financial decisions of the University. “I think the North Carolina economy is going to go further down, and the University University will have to make some tough deci sions,” he said. “I want the faculty to be very involved in those deci sions because it’s going to affect the very fabric of the University.” Wegner, who also is the faculty adviser for the Committee on Student Conduct, has been a leader in the first campuswide reform of the honor system in 30 years. Wegner said her experience with COSC and the Honor Court will help her lead the Faculty Council. “It shows that I have some vision, and it also shows that it’s important to get things done,” she said. “It has been useful to let me work with people in other areas and to say, ‘Let’s get things done and not have them drag on for years and years.’” Wegner also said she focuses on increased communication among departments. “I’d like to have (the) Faculty Council host some town Today 10 a.m. The Exercise and Sports Science 89 class is hosting “Fit in the Pit.” The students of EXSS 89 will (Ehr Daily (Ear Hrrl P.0.80x 3257, Chapel Hill, NC 27515 Kim Minugh, Editor, 962-4086 Advertising & Business, 962-1163 News, Features, Sports, 962-0245 One copy per person: additional copies may be purchased at The Daily Tar Heel for $.25 each. © 2003 DTH Publishing Corp.

I want to enhance communications.” The University Gazette, which is a publication for University staff and faculty, also is something Wegner said she would like to improve. “There’s a lot of commit tee work going on that people don’t know about,” she said. “I’d like there to be a once-a-month e-mail bulletin highlighting the things that are going on in different departments.” The new chairman will take office July 1 and will serve for three years.

The Residence Hall Association and UNC Student Telecommunications Services will release a survey this week asking students on campus about their desires for service in the residence halls. RHA President Kristin Conte said the survey which will be sent to all campus residents through an e-mailed link aims to determine what students’ pref erences are for campus telephone and television services. Questions on the survey will poll students on their opinions about potential options, including billing styles, online payment, cel lular phone service, electronic cal endaring and cable channel pref erences. “The topics were brought to us by STS, and we gave some sugges tions for what residents might like,” Conte said. The University offers a wireless telephone service plan with Cingular Wireless. Under the program, UNC stu dents both on campus and off campus receive a variety of dis counts, including a free telephone worth SBO or less with a 24-month service commitment, a 25 percent $5 OFF I Good on any tanning package of 10 or more visits with this coupon.

Conte said University officials hope to have the survey results compiled sometime during the summer and plan to make changes in communications services imme diately. “(STS) is hoping to implement some things by sometime next semester,” she said. STS provides free local phone service and voice mail and has dis counted plans for long distance phone services. Other options, including call waiting, speed dial and three-way calling, also are available at an additional charge. Access to a limited number of cable networks is included in stu dents’ housing room rental charges, but premium channels such as HBO cost extra and are added to students’ monthly tele phone bills. Right now, pay-per-view chan nels are not available to students living in residence halls. Conte said RHA and STS offi cials are excited to find out the results of the survey and look for ward to providing new options to students. “The survey is really for STS,” she said. “We’re looking for ways to extend our services and have more service for telecommunications.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. f Dissertation & Thesis Special 100% Cotton 14C C.O.
