Few changes in existing tenure regulations
were recommended by the Chancellor's
Tenure Study Committee in its recent report.
Those changes made, however, are quite
t-nportant. said Dr. Claiborne Jones, former
assistant to the Chancellor.
l feel the report ought to represent a
pretty good concensus' of faculty opinion,
Jones remarked. He said the committee
involved a large number of faculty and
academic administrators in conferences to
study the present tenure system.
The report develops policies and
regulations governing initial appointments.
Bennett elected
GOP chairman
by Seth Effron
Associate Editor
RALEIGH After a long, hard-fought
battle, Thomas Bennett, was elected
chairman of the N.C. Republican Party at its
convention Saturday. Bennett's election was
a major victory in Gov. James Holshouser's
attempt to gain full control of the state
organization.
Frank Rouse, incumbent Republican
Party chairman, appeared on the convention
stage to concede the chairmanship to
Bennett after only 17 counties had recorded
their otes.
Bennett's victory marked the end of a five-
rr.oTuh campaign for the. GOP leadership.
Rouse said he knew that his chances of
winning ended when the convention
parlimentarian ruled in favor of a delegate's
challenge to Ashe County's attempt to vote
as a unit.
Rouse was relying on unit votes and when
they were ruled invalid any chance of victory
was shattered, he said.

non-tenured and tenured employment
status, termination of employment,
reappointment without tenure, salaries and
promotion.
Jones praised the committee for its
"splendid job," in preparing the
recommendations. They have been working
on it for about two years, Jones added.
Major changes dealt with in the report are
joint appointments, longer initial
probationary terms for assistant professors,
an appeals procedure for non-reappointed
probationary faculty and benefits for
associate professor promotions and tenure.
Joint appointments of University faculty
members, who teach and research in two
departments, have always existed.
A cpmpromise on convention rules was
reached earlier Saturday through which
Bennett forces conceded to secret ballots and
Rouse forces allowed challenges to unit
voting.
"Tom Bennett has fought a good fight and
a clean fight and it is obvious he has won,"
Rouse said in his concession speech.
In accepting the GOP chairmanship.
Bennett called for unity in the party. He
mentioned the strong foundation the party
had with a Republican Governor,. Senator
and 4 Congressmen.
"We can squabble and bicker and
ultimately destroy this foundation," Bennett
said.
..... He established the election of more
Republicans to the state legislature to
support Holshouser's programs, as his main
priority.
Bennett is presently chairman of the
Carteret County Board of Commissioners
and has served in the state legislature.
Julie Tenney. a delegate from Orange
County and vice president of the UNC
student body said, "Bennett is the only
person who could have put the party's
leadership in responsible hands. His victory
will be good for the growth of the party."
In other action at the convention.
Congressman Wilmer "Vinegar Bend"
Mizell said he was seriously considering
running for the U.S. Senate in 1974.
He deviated from the usual speech
praising the party and instead lambasted the
press and television for their attempts to
"get" the President.
While introducing convention keynote
Speaker Carl Curtis (R-Neb.), Senator Jesse
Helms said, in defense of the President,
"This is no time to condone lawlessness, we
must not surrender due process to inuendo
and emotionalism."
In his lengthly defense of President Nixon,
Curtis said that there has been a media
conspiracy against the Republican party and
the President for almost 1 1 months.

The tenure report sets basic guidelines
regarding initial appointments, and requires
that salary, promotion, re-appointment and
tenure procedures be placed within a base
department.
Assistant professors are to receive a longer
probationary term, from three to four years.
This would provide "sufficient time for fair
Hrst round evaluation" of the person's
capabilities.
Present rules create a situation where an
assistant professor teaches only a year and a
half before his evaluation for another
reappointment.
In the University tenure system, most
faculty members are first appointed to
probationary terms.
After a set length of time, depending on
the faculty member's rank, his work is
evaluated, and a decision is made to
reappoint or dismiss him.
Any criterion can be used to decide against
reappointment except personal malice,
exercise his right of freedom of speech
guaranteed in the First Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution or discrimination in race,
sex. religion or national origin.
The tenure report recommends an internal
review procedure available for non
reappointed faculty, if they believe their non
reappointment stemmed from these
"impcrmissable" criteria.
If approved, the report would allow initial
appointments with permanent tenure to
"exceptional" associate professors.
Promotions of an associate professor arc
to be reviewed by a "full assembly" of
department professors. This is to eliminate
individual decisions, and insure more equal
treatment in promotions.
Associate and assistant professors must be
informed a year before their probationary
term ends as to their reappointment status.
The department, however, is not required
to promise a promotion. While this usually
occurs, the committee believed it unfair to
commit a department to its promotions a
year in advance.
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor said each of
the three main campus libraires (Wilson.
Health Sciences and undergraduate) will
have 50 copies of the report on reserve. This
will enable faculty members to study the
committee's suggestions carefully.
A General Faculty meeting was called by
Chancellor Taylor -for Nov. 7 to rccieve
suggestions by any faculty member on the
tenure committee's recommendations.
Chancellor Taylor will submit the report
for approval to the UNC Board of Trustees
in a special meeting Nov. 18.
Individual tenure reports from all 16
University campuses must be submitted to
the President and the Board of Governors by
Dec. I.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va. The Virginia Cavaliers
rolled up 410 yards in total offense here Saturday and
managed to stave off a last-minute Tar Heel drive to defeat
North Carolina for the first lime since 1968. 44-40.
The Carolina defense was blitzed from the opening
seconds of play as the Cavaliers raced to a 14-0 lead before
the Tar Heels had a chance to don their helmets after the
national anthem.
Virginia took the opening kickoff and proceeded to march
steadily against the Tar Heeb behind the determined running
of quarterback Scott Gardner, scoring after 10 plays.
Impatient for Carolina to turn the ball over on downs, the
Caveliers separated Tar Heel tailback James Betterson from
the ball on the second play from scrimmage at the Carolina
18-yard line. Copeland then scored Virginia's second
touchdown of the game on an 18-yard sweep around the left
end.
Down 14-0 with only 5:1 1 elapsed in the first quarter, the
Tar Heels took the kickoff and started back down the field
against the marshmallow-like defense of Virginia.
It took the Tar Heels seven plays to drive 45 yards for a
score, Sammy Johnson going the last six yards for the
touchdown.
Virginia immediately went for another touchdown on its
next possession, Gardner dropping back to pass on the first

School board race

School board elections probably aren't
very interesting to the average voter in
municipal elections. The races usually aren't
characterized by wild-yed competition,
political speeches and campaign promises.
But school board elections do involve
issues that concern those who are running, if
no one else.
Voters in the Nov. 6 election will choose
three people to serve cn the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Board of Education, two for a six
year term and one for a two-year term. The
five candidates have varied backgrounds
and reasons for running for the board, as
well as different stands on educational
issues.
The three candidates for the six-year terms
arc Edwin Caldwell, Ray Prime and Dr.
Norman Weatherly.-
Caldwell is the only black now serving on
the Board of Education and is one of only
two members not employed by UNC.
"I amseckingelection because 1 would like
to continue to bring a different perspective
and input to the board that was missing from
some of the past boards." he said.
The 30-year-old director of the Orange
County Comprehensive Health Services
attended public schools in Chapel Hill and
earned a degree in chemistry from Hampton
Institute in Hampton. Va. Heisamembcrof

and only play of the scries, and unleashing a ninety-yard
bomb to split end Harrison Davis for a 20-7 lead.
The Tar Heels managed to keep within a reasonable
distance of Virginia, driving 80 yards in four plays to cut the
Cavalier lead to 20-14, Billy Paschall passing five yards to
end Earle Bcthea who scampered the last 10 yards for the
touchdown.
It took the Cavaliers a little longer than usual to score on
their next possession: two plays.
After Gerald Mullins stormed 53 yards with the kickoff. a
Mike Dowe run and a IS yard penalty set up Copcland's 16
yard touchdown run which stretched the Cavaliers lead to
27-14.
After an exchange of punts, the Tar Heels ground out one
of their longer touchdowns, driving 56 yards in nine plays for
a touchdown.
The Cavaliers pushed into Carolina territory on a
following drive but had to settle for a field goal and a 30-24
lead.
The Tar Heel offense found the going just as rough,
scraping to the Cavelier eight but stalling there and settling
for three points.
After shutting off a Virginia drive, the Tar Heels took
possession of the ball with less than two minutes to play in the
first half, then drove down the length of the field behind the
sideline passing of Paschall who hit Jimmy Jerome with a
touchdown pass tying the game at 33-30.
Ellis Alexander's point after gave Carolina its first lead.
31-30.

school board. Caldwell has an interest in
seeing the programs begun by the board
continued.
Ray Prime, an electronics technician for
IBM. is newtoclcctive offices, but decided to
run because he believes his viewpoint is also
a needed one.
"I thinkthat the working people haven't
been represented in the past." Prime said.
The 35-ycar-o!d native of Sanford. Maine,
has lived in Chapel Hill since 1955.
Norman Weatherly earned his B.A. and
M.A. degrees from Oregon State University
and a Ph.D. in parasitology from Kansas
State University.
On vocational education. Weatherly feels
that students need to be provided with
"entry-level skills" that can prepare them for
apprenticeships." or entry into technical
institutes.
"The ideal is not to turn out polished
tradesmen, but to prepare students for a job
in the trades or for a technical school." he
said.
The two candidates for the two-year seat
want to see some new programs initiated in
the local schools.
Roger Evans, a research specialist at the
Chemstrand Research Center, said he
arrived at running for election through "the
usual PTA route."
The 39-year-old graduate of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology said
problems in the Chapel Hill school system
"are less a question of innovation than of
execuuon.

The Student Academic Reform
Committee discussed arguments for and
against a four coursesixteen hour semester
and other academic reforms last Thursday at
a meeting with student leaders and faculty
members.
The committee, centered in the executiv e
branch of SG, was formed this semester in
response to slow movement on the part of
the administration in implementation and
consideration of the 39 recommendations
made in June. 1972, by the Chancellor's
Committee on Undergraduate Degree
Requirements.
The first four recommendations contained
in the report of the committee on degree
requirements (known as the Schutz report)
deal with reducing the courses per semester
from five to four, while increasing the
number of credit hours for each course from
three hours to four.
This change reflects what might be the
standard course load, but the committee also
recommended that some two- and three
credit hour courses be offered. The Schutz
report recommends that graduation be
based on 123 credit hours with no reference
to the number of courses taken.
Two other recommendations made by the
Schutz report that the committee is
interested in having implemented include:
changing the double major
requirements;
development of a course with variable
credit for off-campus work experience
undertaken in conjunction with the
undergraduate curriculum;
that a higher quality point average be
required for re-admission to the University
each year;
that audit credit become a matter of
record;
that the decision to hold a final
examination be left to the instructor in
most cases;
that undergraduate advising be
reorganized; and
that funds be allocated to employ and
train student advisers.
John Schutz. chairman of the
Chancellor's Committee on Undergraduate
Degree Requirements, noted at the meeting
that the purpose of the recommendation was
to better the educational system.

in six plays. Gardner's attempt for two failed.

try for two was broken up.
Virginia took the lead away from the Tar Heels 13 plays
later, as Gardner kept the last three yards for a touchdown.

point conversion pass to tight end Jim Colleran. who made a
stretching, diving catch of the ball to give the Cavaliers their
last points of the quarter and the game.
Given good field position on the kickoff by Voight's 22
yard return, the Tar Heels started on their last scoring drive
of the game.
Using the tough running of Betterson. Dick Oliver.
Johnson and Voight. Paschall was able to lead Carolina
down to the Wahoo's seven-yard line, but couldn't get any
farther against the Cavaliers. Alexander then booted a 23
yard field goal to bring the Tar Heels within four points of
Virginia's lead. 44-40.
Carolina got its last chance to win with 5:13 left to play in
the game following a Cavalier punt which the Heels took and
drove steadily down the field on shaky plays and fingertip
passes, but finally had its way, as Bethea was nailed by
Cavalier defenders three yards short of a crucial first down
with 54 seconds left in the game.
