Employees of
state may see
5 percent raise
Bill would boost
UNC faculty pay
BY JAMES EDWARD DILLARD
STAFF WRITER
Nicole Darnall, a professor of
public administration at N.C. State
University, is leaving home.
After four years at N.C. State, she
and her husband, Ashwin Hirani,
are leaving their home in Carrboro
for George Mason University in
Fairfax, Va.
For Darnall, the move isn’t
about moving to a better institu
tion, gaining a higher position or
finding a better place to live.
She just wants to get paid.
“It is almost exclusively 100 per
cent about resources,” Darnall said.
She isn’t alone. Throughout the
UNC system, schools struggle to
recruit and retain faculty because of
subpar salary and benefits.
But the N.C. General Assembly
could take steps to change that.
Despite the difficult budget year, a
House bill proposes a 5 percent raise
for all state employees including
UNC-system faculty, who aren’t usu
ally part of such proposals.
“It’s something that’s been due
for a long time,” said Rep. Grier
Martin, D-Wake, sponsor of the bill.
“We’ve been shortchanging the state
employees. They haven’t been get
ting the salary increases they need.”
While the need is evident, rev
enue is scarce, said Steve Allred,
UNC-Chapel Hill executive
associate provost. Last year, the
University lost 30 percent of the
College of Arts and Sciences facul
ty it sought to retain; the previous
year, it lost 60 percent.
State-sponsored salary hikes for
faculty have been minimal during
the past four years just $625 in
2001-02, none in 2002-03 and 2.5

percent in 2004-05. Faculty also
were given a one-time bonus of
$550 in 2003-04.
While any increase is welcome
news for the system’s Board of
Governors, system lobbyist Mark
Fleming said the proposed 5 per
cent might not be enough.
In this year’s budget requests,
the BOG asked for a 7-5 percent
raise in academic salaries during
each of the next two years.
“This is a problem that is going
to take a few years to address
and make us really competitive,”
Fleming said.
And Darnall scoffed at the idea of
a 5 percent increase. “(My new job)
is a 40 percent difference in salary,”
she said. “Five percent is a joke.”
In addition, George Mason will
greatly improve her benefits.
While N.C. State only provided
Darnall with a computer, George
Mason gave her a sizable budget
for research, technology and even
graduate students.
Health care and child care also
will be available for her family. “The
health benefits here absolutely suck,”
Darnall said. She said it was more
expensive for her husband to be
included on N.C. State’s health plan
than for him to buy his own.
But in such a tight budget atmo
sphere, officials say, the bill likely
won’t pass. “What I really don’t
know is at the end of the day what
money will really be there,” said
Judith Wegner, UNC-CH faculty
chairwoman.
In the end, the salary and the
benefits are enough to tear Darnall
from the home she loves.
“We don’t want to leave,” she
said. “We love it here so much.”

UNC fashion magazine
gears up for 4th release
BY GEORGIA CHERRY
STAFF WRITER
New spring clothes and beauti
fiil weather to model them in aren’t
the only reason why campus fash
ion gurus are so excited this week.
This week is Fashion Week, an
event designed to prepare campus
for Friday’s release of the fourth
edition of Kaleidoscope, the cam
pus-based fashion magazine.
The Kaleidoscope staff attempts
to “redefine fashion” and “showcase
beauty and ethnical diversity on
campus” by publishing one issue
per semester, said Ndidi Okeagu,
founder and editor-in-chief.
“This is just an entire week to get
people excited about our magazine,”
said junior Kimberly McAuley,
Kaleidoscope’s event planner.
Kaleidoscope began publishing
last spring and boasts 46 members.
Through a variety of events such
as mini-makeovers and mannequin
demonstrations, the group hopes to
encourage everyone to pick up a copy
on Friday at the release celebration.
At the celebration, members will
distribute 300 issues of their mag
azine and the best-dressed member
in the crowd will win a gift certifi
cate to The Streets at Southpoint.
“Everyone needs to hear about it
so they can get a copy on Friday,”
freshmen staff member Markia
Jeter said.

Students feel housing crunch
BY HILARY DELBRIDGE
STAFF WRITER
When freshman Michelle
Kanaar woke up to register for
housing early Thursday morning,
she never expected that hours later,
she still would be agonizing about
where she will live next year.
“We all went to the computer lab
thinking, We’ve got a plan. We’re
here early, too,’” Kanaar said. “The
second it hit 7 o’clock, I hit the
mouse, and it kept saying every
thing was full. We ended up with
no rooms.”
Kanaar is just one of many stu
dents who had trouble finding a
spot to live on campus next year.
All vacant rooms have been cho
sen at this point, but single spaces in
double rooms, as well as spaces in the
Odum Village apartments, still are
available, said Larry Hicks, director
of the Department of Housing and
Residential Education.
“It’s a little bit of a misconcep
tion to say that there’s no space

mini-makeovers in the Pit to kick
off the week of events.
“I thought that this was a
great opportunity today to help
women feel beautiful” said Nicole
Kautchick, the Mary Kay consul
tant. “Just like clothes, makeup
can help define you and give you
energy to be who you are.”
In her bright pink coat and
matching shoes, Kautchick pro
vided makeup tips, applied lip gloss
and eye-shadow and exchanged
information with some students to
set up formal consultations.
“People always want makeup
tips, so since we’re a fashion mag
azine we thought it would be fun
to bring a professional out here,”
McAuley said.
On Tuesday, the magazine will
host “GQDay” in the Pit and provide
fashion tips geared toward men.
Kaleidoscope members will show
the campus “What Not To Wear”
through mannequins and some spe
cific demonstrations on Wednesday.
And on Thursday, “Mahogany” a
fashion movie, will be shown with
dinner and a local designer will
give a speech.
Okeagu said she hopes this week
will attract new members, and
therefore new styles and interest
to the magazine.
“We’re anew magazine and we’re
just out here to spur some interest
and up our numbers,” said Claire
Stackhouse, a sophomore on the

available,” Hicks said. “It’s just not
where students want to be.”
Hicks said rising sophomores
felt the biggest squeeze in housing
even with the opening of Cobb
Residence Hall and Odum Village
to undergraduates because of the
1,000 spaces that will be lost with
the closing of Morrison Residence
Hall and because they were the last
to recontract.
Officials reduced the price to live
in Odum Village from $2,985 per
semester to $2,500 per semester
because of the housing situation.
A one-bedroom apartment, con
sidered as a double room, is $75
more per semester than a typical
residence hall room.

“The purpose of fashion week
is just to get people excited about
fashion,” Stackhouse said. “In the
spring, everything is fun and new
and exciting, just like fashion, and
of course, just like our new issue.”
“I think everyone’s going to want
a copy.”

The additional cost provides stu
dents with a bedroom, dining room
and kitchen to share. Students also
can use the apartment during breaks,
which Hicks indicated is the main
reason for the difference in price.
Despite the amenities, some stu
dents said they still aren’t happy
about their options.
“I feel like they kind of turned
their back on us,” Kanaar said.
“I don’t see how Odum Village is
really on campus.”
Hicks said some spots on campus
are reserved for freshmen in resi
dence halls because of the need for
community building on campus.
“The success or failure of a
student on campus is sometimes
predicated in their experiences on
campus the first few weeks,” Hicks
said.
Although freshman Alison
Chermak said it is frustrating to
know that desirable rooms are off
limits, she said she plans to make
the best of the situation.
“At first, I was really mad about
it, and I felt kind of gypped,” she
said. “I didn’t think it was right that
incoming freshmen had priority
over us. Now, I’m kind of accepting
the fact that I have to live there.”
