ahr Daily {Ear Hrrl Administrators to stay put Excited about work with Thoqi BY MARY KATHERINE AYERS STAFF WRITER Although Chancellor James Moeser is moving on from South Building when he steps down Julv 1, the top administrators in his cab inet don’t plan to go anywhere. When the chancellor's position has changed hands in the past, other UNC leaders have sometimes left to follow other opportunities. But members of Moeser's cabinet have no plans to leave Chancellor-elect Holden Thorp's administration. Richard Mann, the vice chancel lor of finance and administration, said he doesn't anticipate a mass exodus of administrators. “One of our advantages is that we have a very strong administrative team and we work well together, and 1 would see that continuing under the new chancellor," he said. Mann, who became vice chan cellor in November 2006, said he hasn't been looking elsewhere. But just because administrators aren't looking for other jobs doesn't mean they are off the market. Margaret Jablonski, the vice chancellor of student affairs since 2004, said many of the administra tors get contacted by search firms.

The other three kiosks chronicle how the three faiths define and celebrate what Brawicy described as "nine categories of human experi ence that we all share.'

North Carolina allowed Stepheson a release so he can contact other schools regarding a transfer, and among the programs he reportedly Is considering are UCLA and Southern Cal, both of which reside in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Leslie Strohm, who began as general counsel in 2003, said she enjoys her post and so has not shown interest in offers to be gen eral counsel at other universities. “I love the University of North Carolina," she said, “And I love serving as its general counsel.’ Larry Conrad was appointed vice chancellor for information technologies and chief information officer in February.

As far as UNC is concerned, the transfer thins out a front line that now will feature only incumbent starters Tyler Hansbrough and Thompson, along with a duo of unproven freshman bigs TYler Zeller and Ed Davis. But given the way Stepheson turned on during the Tar Heels’ run to the Final Four, North Carolina will Ik* hard-pressed to find some one to replace the interior defense and rebounding he provided when he checked into the game. "The two years I have spent as a Tar Heel have been great,’ he said. “My teammates, coach Williams and his staff and the whole Carolina family are the best. “I wish to thank the UNC fans for all their support and encour of direction for the campus and a strong management team," he said about preparing to come to UNC. “She was confident that whoever would be the chancellor’s successor, there would be changes of course, but that they would be evolution ary not revolutionary." Thorp has said he wants consiten cy, and his team seems to concur. Bernadette Gray-Little, the executive sice chancellor and pro vost to whom Conrad referred, also has said she has no plans to leave. Jablonski said she also sees Thorp continuing efforts that Moeser ROGERS ROAD FROM PAGE 3 Wilson said the “vain spirit of the industrial world’ is behind problems such as the one in the Rogers-Eubanks community. “Some people call it a civil rights issue, a social justice issue or a sci entific issue," he said. “And some people call it 'look at your babies,” he said, adding that the community's children will be exposed to illness and will need to spend their own money on future community cleanup if the landfills are not removed. But minister Robert Campbell, perhaps the most applause-evok ing speaker of the afternoon, was saved for last. Through deafening claps and cries, Campbell urged attendees to ensure that the Orange County government lives up to its mandate of protecting all communities and the environment. He said that anything less is unacceptable. “No community rich or poor, urban or suburban, black or white should be allowed to become a sacrifice zone in other words, a dumping zone," he said. Campbell continued, pointing out that this issue is not just one of the physical health of residents. ‘When you take away basic health rights of people, you begin to let a culture be lost," he said. That, Campbell said, cannot happen to the Rogers-Eubanks agement. 1 am grateful for the opportunity 1 had to be a Tar Heel, and 1 wish the program the best in the future."

From 2001 to 2004 Thorp led the planetarium, transforming it from the Morehead Planetarium ; to the Morehead Planetarium and ! Science Center, as it currently is ; known. “He made it a place that was vital and relevant again," said Denise Young, planetarium direc tor of education programs. "That hadn't been the case for avers - long time." Young was hired within a year of Thorp's appointment to the post, and she described him as a strong, visionary leader who sought out the opinions of others and gave them the flexibility to experiment, citing a successful theatrical approach to planetarium educational produc tions which pushed the education i al staff to be equally engaging and informative. But she said he often asked probing questions, trying to make sure the advice he was getting was sound and well-considered. Another of Thorp's early hires. Jeff Hill, agreed, saying Thorp rare i ly made the same mistake twice. "His capacity to experiment 1 and learn along the way is a great j strength," he said. “He has demonstrated a great j capacity for understanding the j issues that the University is facing." When Thorp took over, the plan etarium was seen as very invvard i facing. “Holden turned that paradigm around into inclusion," Hill said. “He took what he was a part of and rallied it toward the University | mission.’ Thorp sought to accomplish a 59 Placed 60 Relinquish 61 Bicker 62 Eye amorously 63 Layer 64 Exploits 65 of the d'UrberviHes" DOWN 1 Lead balloons 2 Greek marketplace 3 Excavation find 4 _ carotene 5 Routes tor ships 6 Dark 7 Deceive 8 Univalent radical 9 Dependent 10 Punctuation mark 11 Sound peak THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2008 “His capacity to experiment and learn along the way is a great strength" JEFF HILL, PLANETARIUM COLLEAGUE change in the science center’s men tality through a series of new hires. Young said he hired professional educators and marketers, deci sions that changed the dynamic of the staff. Though both Hill and Young said they see Thorp as a vision ary leader, Hill said his lack of administrative experience showed at times. He said Thorp seemed uncomfortable standing in a room full of potential donors —a sharp contrast from his former roomful of freshman chemistry students. But Hill said he saw a marked change as Thorp grew into the role. “The Holden Thorp that I saw deliver his acceptance speech for chancellor was light years removed, in terms of public speaking, from the Holden Thorp 1 encountered five or six years ago," Hill said. While Hill and Young watched from within. Todd Boyette, current director of the planetarium, was the CEO of The Health Adventure, a competing science center located in Asheville, while Thorp headed the Morehead Planetarium. The two were professional col leagues. and Boy ette first discussed UNC with Thorp before succeeding him as planetarium director. The expansion of the planetari um's mission to showcase other sci ences was impressive. Boyette said, and he was struck by the renewed excitement Thorp brought to the science center community. “1 watched from afar as he led the renewal." Boyette said. “He was breathing new life into the Morehead Planetarium." Contact the University Editor at udesk (a unc.edu.
