Faculty salary
raise delayed
until late Oct.
Last of UNC system;
paperwork to blame
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
A 6.5 to 8.2 per cent salary increase for
faculty members was not included in the
most recent faculty paychecks, and
paperwork was to blame.
John Temple, vice chancellor for business
and finance, said extensive paperwork was
necessary to implement the increase, which
was approved by the 1977 General
Assembly.
Faculty members were told at the General
Faculty and Faculty Council meeting Sept.
16 that the increase would be included in
checks to be distributed at the end of
October. The increase is retroactive to July
I.
"An extensive amount of paperwork is
necessary to implement the salary increase,
and it is necessary to get the approval from
the Office of the President," a summary of
the council proceedings stated.
The money for the salary increase was
allocated to the 16 campuses of the UNC
system by the UNC Board of Governors at
its August meeting.
The paperwork, Temple explained, "starts
at the department where they receive the
salary increases, and then come forward to
the dean, the provost, the chancellor, and
this has to be sent to the president for
approval, which has been done.
"We have to go into the payroll system and
adjust each individual salary to the new level.
We have to modify the payroll system so that
the increase will be retroactive to July 1 and
... cumulative to Nov. 1."
E. Maynard Adams, faculty chairperson,
blamed the legislature in part for the delay
because it "was so late in approving the pay
raise. There was a tremendous amount of
paperwork that had to be done on the time
span we had."
. Adams said the paperwork should have
been completed by Sept. 12 "or something
like that in order for the increase to be
reflected in this paycheck."
Felix Joyner, vice president of the UNC
General Administration, said he knew of

Money dries up with water
OWASA
Chapel Hill's water problem is
becoming as much a matter of money as
a matter of rainfall.
Durham has enough water to sell two
million gallons per day to the Orange
Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA),
but the Authority may decide to stop
buying water from Durham because of a
lack of sufficient funds. Money to
purchase water from Durham was not
included in OWASA's original budget.
A majority of OWASA members have
recommended the cessation of water
purchases.
OWASA anticipates a $266,000
deficit in its budget due to the cost of
buying water from Durham. A
proposed surcharge of 30 cents per 1 ,000
gallons of water on Chapel Hill's water
bills was discussed at a public hearing in

Programs suggested for elimination

By BERNIE RANSBOTTOM
Staff Writer
Six programs in the School of
Education recommended for
elimination last week in a report
adopted by the UNC Board of
Governors planning committee are
already on the way out, a spokesperson
for the school said Thursday. .
The report suggests eliminating 53 of
the 494 teacher-education programs in
short of funds
Carrboro Thursday. The surcharge
could alleviate some of OWASA's
budgeting headaches.
Robert Peck, director of
transportation and utilities for Durham,
said Thursday that Durham would not
discontinue selling water to OWASA
unless asked to do so by the Authority.
At the Durham City Council meeting on
Monday, Peck said that Durham's sale
of water to OWASA might be limited to
two million gallons per day unless
substantial rainfall occurs over the
weekend.
W. H. Cleveland, OWASA assistant
director, said Thursday that cutting off
the water from Durham would both
conserve finances and help protect Lake

Dr. Barbara Wasik. associate dean of
the School of Education, said the six
programs recommended lor elimination
at UNC have already been discontinued,
are in the process of being phased out or
were never implemented at all.
Several staff members of the UNC
(ienerul Administration, led by Donald
J. Stedman. a professor in the UNC-CH
School of Education, conducted the
study, which took more than a year to
complete.
The study recommends the
discontinuation of programs in four
categories: I) inactive programs; 2)
programs of low productivity; 3) weak
programs: or 4) programs in areas
demanding few graduates.
The six programs recommended for
discontinuation are the bachelor's
programs in special education and
health education; the program in
intermediate school psychology; the
socia foundations and the business,
commerce and distributive education
programs at the master's level; and the
doctoral elementary education
program.
The study also recommends that three
UNC education programs be studied for
possible improvements. Recommended
programs are the master's programs in
curriculum and instruction and student
personnel services in higher education,
and the English education bachelor's
program.
Plans for improvement of these
programs are due by Eeb. I. 1978.

opposition to fee hikes
By STEPHEN HARRIS
Staff Writer
UNC dorm residents overwhelmingly
oppose spending more money for telephone
installation and narrowly oppose an increase
in student lees, according to a survey
released Thursday by the Residence Hall
Association (RHA).
The survey is based on questionnaires
distributed by RHA governors to dorm
residents and returned from Sept. 13 to Sept.
25.
RHA received responses from 569
students. Questions on the survey covered
lour general areas: the proposed student fee
increase. Southern Bell, a possible fall break
and water conservation.
The sampling of student opinion, which
was funded by RHA and Student
Government, shows that 94 per cent of the
students felt Southern Bell Telephone C'o.'s
recent increase in installation rates from
$7.50 to $20 was unfair.
The questionnaire asked. "Based upon
Southern Bell's service, do you believe that
the hook-up rate increase from $7.50 to $20
is justified?" The response: 1.8 per cent yes.
94" per cent no. .V7 percent don't know and .5
per cent no answer.
But Southern Bell fared better with other
student personnel services program is
already under review in the School of
Education. Wasik said, and the school
has recently requested study of the
curriculum and instruction program.
A statement issued by the dean's
office of the School of Education
outlines the rationale behind the
elimination of the other six programs.
"Students in the doctoral program in
education who want an emphasis or
concentration in elementary education
are now in the program classified as
curriculum and instruction." the
statement says.
The curriculum and instruction
program is one of the three programs
recommended for study and may lace
discontinuation if improvements in it
are not made.
"A program has been initiated to
incorporate content on the handicapped
child into the regular undergraduate
teacher-training program," the
statement says.
There is a move in public education to
incorporate handicapped children into a
regular classroom situation, Wasik said.
Therefore, the School of Education is
attempting to train all undergraduate
teaching majors to deal with the
handicapped children, eliminating the
need for the undergraduate special
education program.
There are no students currently
enrolled in the social foundations
program, according to the statement,
and the program has been inactive for
several years.

Carolina's mascot 'Rameses'
plays on football, farm fields

If Rameses had his way, he would just as
soon skip football season. For when the Tar
Heels take to the gridiron, students from
others schools take to the pastures in search
of Carolina's mascot.
"One year the State people came and
kidnapped him," says Bob Hogan, keeper of
the ram. "They took him over to the School
of Textiles and dyed him red, We ended up
shearing him to get him straightened out,
Another year, Hogan hid Rameses in a
trailer on his farm. "East Carolina found
him." Hogan says. "They painted his horns
purple and gold."
Rameses lives at Lake Hogan Dairy farm
outside of Carrboro. "He likes it pretty well
here," Hogan says. "He stays with the cows
and does just about what he pleases."
A visit to Lake Hogan Dairy confirmed
H ogan's remark. As the cows paraded to the
barn for their afternoon milking, Rameses
and several other ewes strolled along
underfoot. His Carolina Blue horns set him
apart from the other rams.

When should a full break be held? The

in October was favored by 34.4 per cent.
The results of the RHA survey will be

adequate, 28.8 per cent do not have an
opinion, and .2 per cent did not respond.
The survey also indicated that 36.2 per
cent would support an increase in student
fees of $3 per semester and that 39 per
cent would oppose such an increase.
Another 24.4 per cent were undecided
and .4 per cent had no respone.
"I don't think we're tfoing to get an
increase until students realize what the
money is used for and what the potential
is with more money," Student Body
President Bill Moss said.
Moss said a $5-per-year increase in
student fees would represent
approximately $120,000 in additional
monies for campus organizations funded
through student fees.

The 6 per cent figure would mean the UNC
School would have to accept 10 foreign
transfer students, the maximum number the
school has said it would take.

this month that the school would turn down

asked to accept more than 10 of the transfers.

over it.
"Rameses is a good-natured little fellow,"
Hogan says, "He's not much trouble at all.
He eats grass and fodder with the cows. 1
guess he feels safe around them."
Rameses, who is starting his fifth year as
mascot, is six-and-a-half years old, Hogan
says. "He should be around for a couple
more years, at least."
Rameses is not a direct descendent of the
original mascot. Credit for the selection of a
ram as the school's mascot goes to Vic
Huggins, Carolina's head cheerleader in the
'20s, Hogan says. "He was named after a
football player they called the Battering
Ram. His name was Jack Merritt.
"The University didn't know what to do
with the ram after they got it, My dad, Henry
Hogan, was playing football at the time, so
they asked him if he would take care of it."
The Hogan family has kept the mascots
since. I n return for their care, the Hogans get
tickets to the football games.
Rameses gets a bath and has his horns
painted before each game. He rides to the
stadium in the back of a pickup truck. "This
year, we'll take him to all of the home
games." Hogan says.
