Holiday delays have set the UNC
Chancellor Search Committee schedule
back as much as six weeks, raising the
possibility that an interim chancellor may
have to be appointed when retiring
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor steps down
Feb. I.
Search Committee Chairman Ralph N.
Strayhorn said the committee may be
unable to make its final
recommendations until mid-February
because of time lost due to meetings
canceled during the Christmas break.
UNC President William C. Friday said
Tuesday that an interim chancellor would
be appointed if the committee does not
submit its recommendations for Taylor's
successor by Feb. 1. Friday declined to
speculate on who the interim chancellor
might be, however.
"I haven't made that decision yet,"
Friday said. "But no one being seriously
considered for chancellor would be
appointed acting chancellor."
Claiborne S. Jones, executive assistant
to the chancellor, served briefly as interim
chancellor last summer when Taylor was
hospitalized following a June 7 heart
attack.
Taylor announced Dec. 14 that his
resignation would become effective Feb.
1 regardless of whether a successor had
been named.
Strayhorn said that although the
committee hopes to complete its work as
quickly as possible he does not think the
committee members will be pressured to
meet the Feb. 1 deadline.
"We don't have a definite deadline for
r y i N
Chancellor N. Ferebee Taylor
when we hope to have our work
completed but I feel like and I hope, that
we'll have our task completed sometime
in February," Strayhorn said. "I have
talked to President Friday and he has
assured me that he does not want the
committee to rush its work to meet the
original deadline."
The committee would not be involved
in naming an interim chancellor,
Strayhorn said. That decision would be
entirely up to Friday.
The committee has narrowed the
number of candidates to approximately
15, Strayhorn said, adding that the
committee may recommend as many as
eight to the Board of Trustees. The
trustees then will recommend at least two
candidates to Friday, who will make the
final recommendation to the UNC Board
of Governors.
If the committee recommendations are
not made until mid-February, the Board
of Governors could make the final
appointment as late as March or April.
Opening test-tube baby facility
could result in legal problems
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) The United
States' first test-tube baby project was
given the go-ahead by Virginia's health
commissioner Tuesday, and doctors at
the Eastern Virginia Medical School said
they hope to attempt the first pregnancy
in March.
But a right-to-life group which believes
the procedure raises serious moral and
ethical questions said it would challenge
the project in court.
Commissioner James Kenley informed
officials at the medical school that he
would sanction the establishment of a
test-tube baby laboratory at Norfolk
General Hospital. The laboratory, next
door to the hospital's obstetrics
gynecology unitvJsnear..cojnpletiqnv
About $25,000 in hospital ' reseeifwere
used to renovate and buy equipment.
Kenley said he had decided, after five
months of hearings and studies by state
and local health agencies, that the clinic
would violate no state or federal law.
In the test-tube baby process, an egg is
removed from a woman with diseased or
deformed fallopian tubes, fertilized in the
laboratory with the husband's sperm and
reimplanted in the woman's womb.
More than 2,500 women from all over
the world have applied to the program,
announced in November 1978, a few
months after the first test-tube baby,
Louise Brown, was born :n England.
"We're ready to go ahead now," Dr.
Jack Rary, chief of the genetics
laboratory at the school, said in an
interview Tuesday.
"The only thing we need to do now is
get the laboratory completed in the
hospital," Rary said. "As soon as we get
the instruments calibrated, we'll be ready
to go."
But Charles Dean, president of the
Tidewater chapter of the Virginia Society
for Human Life, a right-to-life group,
said he would appeal the decision
immediately.
"We'll never give up. That's exactly
how we feel," Dean said. "There's a lot of
is
pressure against it. And a lot more
mounting. This isn't the end of it."
Dean said the controversy had been
"clouded by politics . . .The development
arid prestige of the medical school has
become more important than the medical
issues involved."
He said the Virginia Society for
Human Life would lead all court appeals,
with funds for the appeals coming from
individual donations.
Dean has called the test-tube project
"uncontrollable laboratory
experimentation with human life.""
He said there has not been enough
experimentation on animals to justify
using the process on humans. He also
claimed some eggs would be discarded in
the course of the procedure arid said there
was a danger some babies would be born
with deformities.
Rary, while conceding it was pure
speculation at this time, said it seemed
probable the test-tube baby procedure,
technically known as in-vitro
fertilization, could be performed on
about 10 to 20 infertile women monthly
once the project is under way.
Dr. Mason Andrews, chairman of the
obstetics-gynecology department at the
medical school, and the program's co
directors, the husband-wife team of Drs.
Howard and Georgeanna Jones, were
pleased with Kenley's decision.
"I never expect anything, but 1 didn't
see logically how it could turn it out any
other way," Mrs. Jones said.
In a prepared statement accompanying
his decision, Kenley said he was certain
the laboratory would be well-utilized by
infertile couples from all over the United
States.
Andrews said the decision would
remove some additional trauma from the
minds of 1 1 women now participating in
the initial stages of the program.
"We have great confidence that we will
win the court battle if it goes that far," he
said. The hospital, however, said it had
not determined how far it would go in the
courts.
UNC
gets 70
day trial delay in HEW case
By JIM HUMMEL
Staff Writer
A 10-week delay granted by the court in the
University's desegregation dispute with the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare should give UNC
lawyers enough time to prepare their case, University
officials said Tuesday.
Judge Lewis F. Parker on Monday postponed until
May 19 the hearing originally set for March 10. The
i University had asked that the hearing be delayed until
&me 9.
"We didn't get the full 90-day delay (requested by the
University), but it's certainly better than what we had,"
UNC lawyer Richard Robinson said Tuesday.
The additional time will allow lawyers for the
University to secure statements from the 88 witnesses for
HEW listed by lawyers for the government. The number
of witnesses has mushroomed from a preliminary tally of
27 last fall, prompting the U niversity to ask for the delay.
"The number of witnesses came as a surprise to us,"
Robinson said. "The original date (of March 10) didn't
leave us much time to run all over the country to see all
the witnesses."
Parker wrote in his ruling: "The government's listing
of 88 potential witnesses does create a problem if (UNC)
plans to depose of most of them. I will delay the
beginning of the trial to the date suggested by the
government (70 days)."
The government's witnesses include the student body
presidents of the five predominantly black schools in the
UNC system and professors from universities around
the country as well as UNC employees.
"Taking depositions from here to California will take
a substantial amount of time, so the delay is welcomed,"
UNC President William Friday said Tuesday.
Senior Deputy State Attorney General Andrew A.
Vanore and Washington lawyer Charles Morgan, will
handle many of the depositions. "We will take
depositions from as many of the 88 as we feel necessary,"
Vanore said. One University official said he felt almost
all of the potential witnesses will be contacted by UNC
lawyers.
Parker also ruled that HEW would not have to file
exhibits until May 19. The exhibits, which include
letters, charts and other statistics, were due Jan. 7.
UNC also filed a motion that the government bear the

appeal set

Following a Dec. 14 request of the
Board of Trustees, Chancellor N. Ferebee
Taylor has appointed a special seven
member faculty committee to rehear the
tenure denial case of Dr. Sonja Stone,
assistant professor and former co
chairman of the African and Afro
American Studies Curriculum.
The committee, headed by Professor
George V. Taylor of the history
department, is to report to the Board of
Trustees by its Jan. 28 meeting.
The committee includes three women
and two blacks. The black committee
members are Slayton A. Evans Jr., an
associate professor in the chemistry
department and Bernadette Gray-Little,
an associate professor in the psychology
department. Other committee, members
are Duncan MacRae Jr., a Kenan
professor in the departments of political
science and sociology; Elizabeth A.
McMahan, a zoology professor; Louis D."
Rubin Jr., English professor; and
Barbara H. Wasik, a professor in the
School of Education.
The Board of Trustees, after hearing
the report of a special three-member
trustee committee which reviewed the
case Nov. 30, ruled that there was
"reasonable doubt as to the objectivity of
the tenure review committee in its
consideration of Dr. Stone's
qualifications for tenure."
cost of transporting witnesses to give statements, but
Parker denied the request.
"Apparently Parker felt that since we wanted to take
the depositions, we should bear the expense," Robinson
said.
Since the U niversity first contacted M organ's law firm
last spring it has paid over $400,000 in fees. The figure
does not include the time and expense invested by
University officials and other lawyers working for UNC,
Robinson said.
When the administrative hearing starts, government
officials estimate the trial will take at least six weeks.
Both sides will present evidence to Parker, who will
make a recommendation to the Secretary of HEW for a
final decision. If the secretary rules against the
University, the action will sit before Congress for 30
days. If no action is taken, UNC still will be able to
appeal the decision.
"It's difficult to know w hat could happen in Congress
because this has never happened before," Robinson said.
"We'll worry about that then if we get that far."
If UNC loses the case it could lose up to $89 million it
receives annually from the government.

Concerned black students ewsit Stone tenure cssa decision.
A seven-member committee has been formed to review case
The board cited the fact that several
members of the original committee
appointed by Arts and Sciences Dean
Samuel R. Williamson to consider
Stone's tenure case were concurrently
involved in several overlapping
investigations, also ordered by Dean
Williamson, of a Rockefeller Foundation
grant which Stone was administering and
the Southeastern Black Press Institute of
which Stone was administrative head as
reasons for the ruling.
However, the board ruled that there
was no "pattern of discrimination in
tenure matters by Dean Williamson by
reason of the race of sex of the faculty
member being considered for tenure."
The board cited Williamson's past
record in tenure decision cases up to the
time of Stone's case. Of the 60 tenure
cases in which Williamson had
participated as head of the College of
Arts and Sciences, 36 (60 percent) of the '
cases were granted tenure. Female faculty
members were involved in 24 of these
cases, 14 of which (58 percent) were
granted tenure. Males received tenure in
22 cases (61 percent). The board stated
the "decisions reached in cases he
(Williamson) has handled overall
clearly non-discriminatory."
are
The board also stated that "the record
does not establish that in orchestrating
the consideration of Dr. Stone for tenure
for her made by the faculty tenure review
committee, Dean Williamson either
denied or caused Dr. Stone to be denied
tenure because of personal malice or
because of her race or sex."

Carrboro annexation includes
Tar Heel Manor Apartments
By CINDY BOWERS
Staff Writer
The town of Carrboro grew while UNC
students were away for the holidays. On
Dec. 19. the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen voted to annex 220 acres
northwest of the town, including Tar
Heel Manor Apartments.
The annexation, which went into effect
Dec. 3 1, means that residents of the area
will be assessed for town property taxes
when they file tax returns on Jan. 3 1 , said
Carrboro Planning Director Sonna
Loewenthal. These town taxes will be due
for the first time on Dec. 31, 1980.
Apartment dwellers do not pay
property taxes directly, but the cost
usually is included in rents.
"But (annexation) also means
(residents) will get all municipal services,"
Loewenthal said. These services include
town police, instead of only the county
sheriff, use of town recreation facilities,
full street maintenance and garbage
pickup. Annexed residents no longer will
pay an extra tax for protection by the
town fire department, as they had to do in
the past.
The annexation had been opposed by
some residents of the Barrington Hills
subdivision included in the annexed area.
The residents said that the increase in
municipal services would not compensate
for the added taxes.
No other areas are being considered for
annexation in the near future,
Loewenthal said. The state has very
specific requirements for the annexation
of an area to a town, Loewenthal said.
"Once an area is urbanized and
contiguous to the town, it is considered
for annexation," she said.
Carrboro planners use the state
requirement for a density of two persons
per acre when considering an area for
annexation, Loewenthal said.
M
ix-up creates conflict
A misunderstanding in December between Carrboro.and Chapel Hill over 1979
bus service bills was the result of "an oversight on (Carrboro's) part," Carrboro
Alderman Doug Sharer said Tuesday.
Carrboro said in December that Chapel Hill had overcharged the town for
holiday service and extra buses which were added for the C route.
Sharer said that the bill was larger than Carrboro expected because it included
UNC's share of the bus service expenses. "For some reason we failed to get the
U niversity to execute a contract saying they would pay their part (of the expenses),"
Sharer said.
The University is expected to sign a contract soon, he said.
Under a formula agreed on last year by Chapel Hill, Carrboro and UNC,
Carrboro is responsible for half of the bus expenses, while Chapel Hill and the
University pay the rest. But Carrboro is responsible for signing agreements with the
other two to that effect, Sharer said.
Part of the University's delay in signing the contract is "concern as to whether the
Urban Mass Transit grant money was going to arrive," Sharer said. The federal
grant, which was awarded to Chapel Hill in July 1979, will pay for up to half of the
town's transit expenses, with a matching amount provided by the town. ,
Chapel Hill Town Manager Gene Shipman said the grant money has not arrived
yet. "The Department of Urban Transportation told us we'd get it no later than Jan.
15," he said.
Chapel Hill provided bus service on a classes-out schedule during the Christmas
holidays despite the threat in December by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen not to
pay for that service, Shipman said.
