SALT path
uuidzy ut last
be cleared
WASHINGTON (AP) The United
States and the Soviet Union have setled
perhaps the key remaining issue in the
strategic arms negotiations, but still are
not ready to sign a treaty, administration
sources said Thursday.
Secretary of State Cyrus. Vance and
Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin
met for an hour Thursday evening.
Afterwards, State Department
spokesman Tom Reston said they had
agreed to talk again Friday afternoon.
Mindful of unanticipated issues that
have arisen in the past to confound the
negotiations, officials refused to predict
when the talks might end.
State Department spokesman
Hodding Carter said problems remain to
be resolved by Vance and Dobrynin
before the two sides discuss a summit
meeting.
The U.S. sources, asking not to be
identified, said agreement had been
reached on the rules for defining a new
missile type during the duration of the
SALT 11 pact.
The treaty would limit each side to
developing one new land-based
intercontinental ballistic missile system.
The American negotiator! have been
trying to get the Soviets to accept tight
rules for defining a new missile out of fear
that the Soviets might dramatically
improve an existing missile through a
series of modifications and claim that it is
not a new missile.
According to the sources, the two sides
have agreed to the American suggestion
that any change of missile characteristics
such as size and weight in excess of 5
percent will mean the missile must be
counted as a new weapon under the
treaty's limitations.
However, the sources expressed
satisfaction that the rule will prevent the
Soviets from exploiting a potential
loophole that might have allowed them to
develop a new mobile ICBM and a small,
single-warhead replacement for their SS
1 1 missile.
The United States has plans for a new
"missile called MX to replace the
Minuteman III.
With the definition of new missile types
resolved, the officials said, the treaty
could be wrapped up very quickly.
Repeatedly over the past three years,
the two sides have come to the verge of an
agreement, only to see an unexpected
problem arise to prevent completion of
the treaty.

Agreed to postpone insistence to end duplication
. . Joseph Califano
From staff and wire reports
HEW Secretary Joseph Califano has
accepted Gov. Jim Hunt's offer to allocate an
additional $40 million to upgrade the five
predominantly black schools in the 16-campus
UNC system.
The only issue remaining unresolved in the
dispute between University officials and the
federal government is the language of an
agreement concerning program duplication at
neighboring white and black UNC schools,
according to reports.
Califano's acceptance of Hunt's offer came
Thursday night as UNC President William C.
Friday huddled at the General Administration
Building with HEW officials in an attempt to
iron out the duplication dispute in time for the
UNC Board of Governors meeting today.
Officials close to the negotiations said the
Board of Governors will ask the N.C. General
Assembly to appropriate the $40 million. The
deadline for submitting such an appropriation
request for consideration by legislators is today.
The BOG (Board of Governors) will certainly
address the issue, but the option to request
money from the General Assembly is all tied up
with whether they (HEW officials) drop the
duplication issue." an aide to the governor said.
"We don't know what their feelings are right
now."
A spokesman for Hunt said Thursday the
governor's office will support the Board of
Governors if that body requests money from the
legislature.
House Speaker Carl Stewart and Lt. Gov.
Jimmy Green both said Thursday they believe
the state could afford the $40 million settlement
without sacrificing a proposed tax cut next year.
Stewart said there probably would be some
legislature opposition to appropriating $40
million for the black campuses out of the 1979
80 state budget, but he believed the majority
would support the settlement.
"1 think if the president of the consolidated
University and the Board of Governors came to
the legislature with something approaching a
unanimous view that this is best for North
Carolina, and the governor concurs in this, it
would .be difficult, for the legislature to
resist,"Stewart said.
Califano agreed to postpone HEW's
insistence that UNC end program duplication
on neighboring black and white campuses "for at
least four years if the General Assembly
allocated the funds.
After four years, H EW would assess whether
the $40 million and other efforts by the
University had been successful in desegregating .
the 16-campus system.
If an agreement is not reached, the board may t
authorize its lawyers to file a federal court suit
to block HEW's efforts to terminate part of the
annual federal funding.
HEW's insistence on an end to duplication of
programs was one of the major points of
conflict in discussions between HEW and UNC
officials last year, but. the emphasis shifted
earlier this year to demands by federal officials
for upgrading of facilities and programs on the '
five black campuses.
"It's going to come down to the wording over
duplication," said Gary Pearce, Hunt's press
secretary. "Anything that would give HEW a
lever on duplication in the future, the board is -not
going to accept, I don't think."
Besides dealing with the HEW situation
during today's meeting the Board of Governors
will approve new programs on the Chapel Hill
campus, name four new deans, discuss stadium
facility expansion, and name new chancellors to
UNC-Greensboro and Appalachain State
University.
TeinmiFe protects ffaeiilty ffromm prelum0
By KATHY MORRILL
Staff Writer
Just mention the word "tenure" at UNC and you're
guaranteed a cold reception. Very few people in the
academic community want to talk about it.
Approximately 55-60 percent qf the UNC faculty
already have high tenure, a high-ranking University
employee estimates. But the situation can be
Straining for those faculty members being considered--for
tenure and those deciding who will receive it. "
The UNC Board of Trustees adopted the present
policies and regulations governing academic tenure
on April 9, 1976. According to the regulations,
tenure refers to the protection of a faculty member
against involuntary suspension or discharge except
upon specified grounds and in accordance with
specified procedures.
The grounds specified in the regulations for
removing a tenured faculty member are "misconduct
of such a nature as to indicate that the taculty
member is unfit to continue as a member of the
faculty, incompetence and neglect of duty."
"Tenure is not simply part of the faculty reward
system," said Dr. E. Maynard Adams, philosophy
professor and former faculty chairman. "Our
universities are our most important institutions for
the advancement and transmission of the culture. All
else in the society depends on their success. They
cannot succeed in their mission unless their faculties
are highly competent in their respective fields and
fully free and professional in their work."
Adams said these two goals are accomplished
through tenure. In addition to attracting and
retaining a faculty of the highest quality, he said,
granting tenure helps protect individual faculty
members from the pressure of prevailing schools of
thought among their colleagues and from the power
of administrators.
"The system of permanent tenure (tenure until
retirement age) for highly qualified and proven
faculty members was developed as a way of liberating
them from pressures and influences that might
thwart or pervert their work and thereby endanger
the objectivity of the culture," Adams said.
The criteria upon which tenure applicants are
judged include evidence of service to the academic
community, potential for future contribution,
commitment to the welfare of the University, and
demonstrated professional competence including
consideration of commitment to effective teaching,
research, or public service.
Adams said the criteria most heavily emphasized
vary among individual departments. In areas suth as
medicine, he said, research and service are of the
most importance. In some arts and sciences
departments more emphasis is given to
undergraduate teaching.
One of the most important considerations in the
decision of whether or not to grant tenure is the
promise shown for professional growth and
excellence throughout an entire career, not just
outstanding performance during the probationary
period, Adams said.
"Everyone given tenure is judged by his peers, on
the basis of his undergraduate and graduate records
and his professional achievements over a period of at
least five or six years, to have the ability, the training,
the motivation and the work-habits to achieve
excellence at, the, higher ranks and to sustain ii
through the years," Adams said. "He is expected not
only to serve the local university well until his
retirement, if he chooses to remain with it, but to
contribute to the advancement of his discipline and
to achieve recognition in his profession."
The entire procedure of granting or denying tenure
takes more than a year to complete. When a faculty

MM A board delays
(decision on future
of confederation
By MARTHA WAGGONER
Staff Writer
In a heated discussion Thursday night, the Residence Hall
Association Board of Governors postponed voting on the future
of the More head Confederation, citing displeasure over the fact
that copies of a Daily Tar Heel editorial advocating formation of
an Olde Campus residence college were distributed in Lower
Quad dorms.
The board had planned to vote on whether to uphold
Wednesday's advisory referendum, in which residents of Lewis,
Aycock and Everett voted to leave the confederation. The RH A
governors said they were angry because they were not informed
in advance that the editorial would be distributed in the dorms
the night before the referendum.
"I don't really approve of this at all," Morrison Gov. Eddy
Camp said. "We've been trying to deal with this (Morehead) in
good faith."
The editorial appeared in the April 3 issue of the DTH. Aycock
President Shari Raymond said she made 240 copies of one of two
flyers containing a reproduction of the editorial and paid for the
copying herself. "We felt it was a very good expression of what we
felt," Raymond said.
Beth Barlowe, an Aycock resident, said she and three other
people were responsible for copying and distributing the other
flyer.
RH A has tried to moderate the Morehead dispute since earl
in the semester when confederation residents first began to move
for the split. RHA President William Porterfield said he thinks
the RHA Referendum Educational Committee should have
made the final decision on any flyers to be distributed.
"I think the questions and objections are valid," Porterfield
said. "We have to have clarification before we can move forward.
Here we are at the last week. People have busted ass for months
to make sure things were done fairly and equitably and now we
have to deal with this."
Raymond said she did not think the committee made clear that
it should be consulted before referendum information was
distributed. "1 don't think we did anything wrong," she said.
Ehringhaus Gov. Tom Vitt said RHA should have been given
advance notice, however. "RHA has been slipped a bone with
this material being passed around behind our backs," he said.
But Raymond said she did not think the flyers were distributed
behind the board's back.
'"'Porterfield asked Barlowe and Raymond to request everyone
involved with the copying and distribution of the flyers to be at
the board's meeting April 26. J
"I can't subpoena these people," Porterfield said. "But 1 would
like them to be at the meeting. It is not the intention of the
governing board to grill these people or put them in shackles."
Everett President Warren Wise said he felt RHA will still allow
thgjhree dorms to leave Morehead.
A Morehead newsletter also was distributed on Tuesday night
before the referendum. Morehead Gov. McRay Simmons said
the newsletter was the result of a campaign promise and did not
mention the referendum.

Slowdown in economic growth seen
S&SS:S;S555555Kw5S;
Juanita Kreps
WASHINGTON (AP) Declines in
consumer purchases and home and factory
construction helped slow the nation's economic
growth from January through March to its
lowest level in a year, the government reported
Thursday.
But Commerce Secretary Juanita Kreps said
she doesn't believe the slowdown will lead to the
recession that some businessmen and
economists have predicted for later this year.
In Georgia with vacationing President
Carter, White House press secretary Jody
Powell said the GNP report was "somewhat
welcome news in that heretofore we have been
concerned about the economy overheating."
Economic growth in the first quarter of 1979
was at an annual rate of 0.7 percent, after
adjustment for inflation, the Commerce
Department said. That compares with a
booming 6.9 percent annual rate in the final
three months of 1978.
It was the lowest single-quarter growth rate
since the 0.1 percent decline reported for the
first quarter a year ago. The slower growth rate
more than confirms government predictions
that the economy is slowing from the breakneck
pace of late 1978.
In fact, economic experts including Federal
Reserve Chairman G. William Miller,
Commerce Department chief economist
Courtenay M. Slater and most major
independent analysts had been predicting
first-quarter growth at an annual rate of 2
percent to 2'2 percent.
But Kreps said Thursday she does not believe
government efforts to cool the economy
through tighter monetary and fiscal policy have
gone too far.
"I don't think it makes much difference for
any one quarter," she said of the low economic
performance.
Kreps predicted that there would be some
gain in growth in the second quarter, with the
year ending close to Carter's targeted 2.2
percent growth total.
Surgeon General: Young Americans smoke fewer cigarettes
By DAVID PARKER
Staff Writer
UNC students prone to lighting up a cigarette after a meal,
beer, or for the hardcore a night's sleep may be part of a dying
breed, according to a report released this week by U.S. Surgeon
General Julius Richmond.
And a UNC expert on smoking believes anti-smoking
campaigns waged by the American Cancer Society and other
groups may have had an influence on today's college student.
"There was a lot of advertisement after the Surgeon General's
1964 report on smoking came out," Dr. Judith Flaxman of the
UNC psychology department said Wednesday. "I think those ads
were influential."
In the report, Richmond said cigarette smoking among
college-age Americans appears to be declining for the first time in
15 years. The Surgeion General's announcement resulted from a
study conducted among college students in the East.
"I hesitate even to release this preliminary comment on the
study," Richmond said. "But the study shows that the incidence
of smoking among that age group definitely is coming down."
The most recent Surgeon General's report on smoking.
released several months ago, shows that 31 percent of males and
26 percent of females in the 1 7 to 1 8-year-old age bracket smoked
in 1974. Female smokers in this group had increased steadily
since the 1968 figure of 19 percent, while males fluctuated in the
same period. Figures for the 21 to 24-year-old bracket ran
slightly higher.
One clue to the most recent finding concerning college students
and smoking may be found in an education study included in the

Two caught for robbery;
one suspect still at large
By ANNE-MARIE DOWNEY
Staff Writer
After firing several shots at an Ora'nge
County deputy sheriff, two men were
arrested Thursday afternoon as they fled
from a robbery at a home on Cornwallis
Road northeast of Chapel Hill, Deputy
Sherift James Horton said.
Horton, the officer involved in the
shooting, said at least one other suspect, a
white man 20-25 years old, escaped when
he ran from the home as Horton arrived
It was reported that the search for this
suspect and possibly other suspects, was
continuing on Thursday night.
The incident began when officers were
summoned by a silent alarm to the home,
which is near the Orange-Durham county
line. When Horton drove up to the house
his unmarked car was recognized and the
two men fled in a green Oldsmobile
Cutlass, Horton said.
A high speed chase ensued as Horton
chased the suspects' car, which was
traveling up to 80 miles an hour. But
when the suspects tried to turn a corner,
their car skidded into a ditch. The two
men jumped out of the car and one began
shooting into Horton's car. They were
arrested after emptying their guns.
Horton was not injured.
The gun used by the suspect had been
taken from the home. A large hunting
knife was also taken.
When Horton interrupted the robbery,
the men were forced tQ abandon stereo
and television equipment piled on the
steps of the house.
Despite reports that "a massive
manhunt" was being waged in the county
to find at least one remaining suspect,
officers at the Orange County Sheriffs
Department refused to comment.
