Chapel Hill
crime rate
rises in '82
By CHERYL ANDERSON
Staff Writer
Violent crimes of murder, rape, robbery
and aggravated assault in Chapel Hill in
creased 16 percent in the first six months
of 1982 compared to the same period in
1931, according to the reports from the
Chapel Hill Police Department.
Richard Butler, master officer in charge
of crime prevention at the Chapel Hill
Police Department, said the statistics were
not a true representation of Chapel Hill's
overall crime rate. "In the past we've had
such low statistics," he said.
Figures reported from the Police
Department show that during the first six
months of 19S1 , reports of violent crime in
Chapel Hill included no murders, eight
rapes, 12 robberies and 48 aggravated
assaults.
During the first six months of this year
one murder, two rapes, 19 robberies and
57 aggravated assaults were reported a
total increase of 16 percent. .
Although the increase is greater than the
statewide average of 7 percent, "we're still
probably below the average," Butler said.
Wire reports indicating reported crime in
the state's major cities show that Charlotte
had the largest increase in total reported
crimes with-17. patent; Butler added that
he was perplexed as to why the number of
violent crimes in Chapel Hill jumped so
high this year.
' "It's not that we've got a worse group
of students; it's not that we have more
criminals in (town)," he said. "It's going
to take more work to find out why."
While reports of violent crime in the
state rose 7 percent for the same period,
total reported crime in the state rose only 2
percent from 1981 to 1982.
"We're disappointed but not alarmed,"
said L.D. Hyde, Crime Prevention
Department director at the N.C. Crime
Control and Public Safety Office. While
' violent crime appears to have increased in
the major cities according to statistics, that
does not account for the rural areas, Hyde
said. And North Carolina is mostly rural,
he added.
"Most of the crimes could be prevented
if they (people) think ahead of time," he
said. Hyde attributed part of the high
crime rate in the cities to the large number
of people in the cities. When people are
crowded together, they are more likely to
commit crime, he said.
"There seems to be more crime where
people don't know each other well," Hyde
said. Also, studies have shown that crime
occurs more often in places with more
high-rise buildings, he said.

Manager9 s salary
higher than most
By JOHN CONWAY
Staff Writer
Fact: Chapel Hill's town manager re
ceives a larger annual salary than the city
manager of Philadelphia the fourth
largest city in America.
However, such a comparison is mis
leading when one considers the differences
in responsibility and experience between
the managers of Chapel Hill and Phila
delphia, local officials said.
David Taylor came to Chapel Hill in
February 1982, assuming one of the most
important and demanding positions in
municipal government, according to
many political scientists. Taylor was the
third town manager hired by the Chapel
Hill Town Council in only five years, and
member Marilyn Boulton said they (the
council) wanted to hire a manager who
intended to stay in Chapel Hill.
"We wanted to make sure that we got
the type of manager we needed," she
said.
Donald Hayman, assistant director of
the, Institute of Government, said very
few people in North Carolina applied for
the position of manager because "Chapel
Hill has the reputation as a hard city to
manage." Taylor was invited by the
council to apply for the position after they
had reviewed all the applicants, he said.
The council was unanimous in its de
cision to hire Taylor, finding him the best
qualified candidate for the job, Boulton
said. ,
After some debate, the council offered
hpaylor the position at an annual salary of
$52,000. This figure had to include the in
centive for Taylor to leave his 16-year
position with Tarboro, which included an
annual salary of $37,398 and the personal
use of a town car, she said.
The town paid Taylor's moving ex
penses from Tarboro to Chapel Hill, but
made no arrangements for helping him
find a house or arrange financing.
"The council may have felt that it (the
salary) was the only way to get someone
to come with the housing market the way
it is in Chapel Hill," said Elizabeth Pace,
personnel specialist for the Institute of
Government.
Experience primarily determines how
much of. an increase a manager will re
ceive in salary above the base figure,
UNC professor of political science D.S.
Wright said. For each year of experience,
it would be reasonable to ask for an addi
tional $1,000 a year, he said.
"The salary we paid him (Taylor) was
not significantly higher than what he was
getting there (in Tarboro)," town council
member Jonathon Howes said.
The manager of Chapel Hill has some
responsibilities that other cities of com
parable size might not have, such as the
complexity of the town and the high level
of citizen involvement, Howes said.
Taylor's salary is comparable to the
managers of Raleigh and Greensboro, as
well as the state's superintendent of
schools and high-ranking administrators
in the UNC system, he said.
Neither council member Boulton nor
Howes could remember any significant
public outcry because of the manager's
salary.
Taylor's annual salary of $52,000 is
about $10,000 above the national average
for towns with populations between
25,0(X)-50,000XHowever, the national ,
average makes no account of the experi-'
ence of the managers surveyed. . Taylor
has the most experience of any of the
nation's managers in towns of
comparable size to Chapel Hill.

Unstoppable
Tar Heels shove aside Tech for 41-0 win
By S.L. PRICE
Assistant Sports Editor
For Georgia Tech, the play summed up the frustration
of a team watching its much-vaunted attack sputter and
die. .
For North Carolina, it demonstrated the unity of a de
fense that had finally realized its identity a unity that
finally put all those pieces into place.
It happened like this: Tech's Robert Lavette, the
ACC's leading rusher prior to Saturday's game, took the
handoff from quarterback Jim Bob Taylor and glided
right. The Great Blue Wall shifted with him, and Lavette
stepped once towards the line and then slowed up. With
nowhere to go, Lavette cocked his arm to throw, but all
the receivers were blanketed. Bringing the ball back to
his side, Lavette searched in vain for a hole and corner
back Greg Poole and linebacker Micah Moon sifted
through and cracked him for a loss of four yards.
Lavette finished with 35 yards for the day. Tech's
passing game, second in the conference before the 41-0
UNC pasting, garnered only 97 total yards. It wasn't a
healthy situation for the Yellow Jackets.
"I'm just sick," said Tech coach Bill Curry. "We
honestly thought coming in that we could move the ball
on them but we didn't. We had been moving the ball
pretty well in the first half and we thought that even
though we were down 14-0 at half, we could come back.
We didn't."
North Carolina grabbed that 14-point spread by capi
talizing on two crucial Georgia Tech mistakes. The first,
an off-target wobbler from Taylor, was easily picked off
by free safety Steve Hendrickson and returned 18 yards
to the Tech 41. Eight plays later, tailback Ethan Horton
sliced through the porous Georgia Tech line for 13 yards
and six points. The second mistake, a botched field goal
attempt from 33 yards out, set up the re-emergence of
Kelvin Bryant as a working part of the UNC running
game.
After sitting out the entire first quarter, Bryant quietly
set up at the open of the second quarter behind quarter
back Scott Stankavage. He then exploded for two
straight first downs, spinning, and juking for 16- and
13-yard gains. Five plays later, Bryant surprised every
one when he snatched Stankavage's pitch, moved right
and uncorked a 12-yard pass to flanker Mark Smith.
Bryant raced for four more yards, and then dove into
pay dirt from one yard out.
"This is the best Carolina team I've seen," Curry said.
"We couldn't put pressure on Stankavage, either to
make him throw hurriedly, or to even get him in a throw
ing situation. ;
"But their strength, as far as I could tell, is the de
fensive line. When they needed a big play, they got it
from the defensive line."
: And that defensive line, anchored by nose guard Steve
Fortson and tackles Jack Parry and William Fuller, kept .
quarterbacks Taylor and Stu Rogers and Lavette under
wraps all day.
Early in the third quarter, third down and five, Taylor
faded back to pass. And back. And back. Parry and
linebacker Chris Ward hounded Taylor all the way to the
Tech 6-yard line before cracking him to the turf.
On Tech's next possession, with the score 24-0 and the
Yellow Jackets fading fast, Fortson rumbled through the
line, latched onto Taylor and tumbled him down for a
4-yard loss.
The North Carolina defense relentlessly harrassed the
Tech backfield, to the extent that the Yellow Jackets
penetrated Tar Heel territory once all day.

Science departments get top ratings
from recent NAS-sponsored survey
By SCOTT RALLS
Staff Writer
UNC faculty members rank first in
reputation among Southeastern univer
sities in biostatistics, chemistry and
statistics, according to a study released
recently by the National Academy of
Sciences.
The study, conducted by a committee of
the Conference Board of Associated
Research Councils, focused on doctoral
programs in seven scientific fields. It also
revealed UNC faculty members to be sec
ond in the Southeast in computer science
behind the University of Maryland, and
tied for second place in mathematics and
geology with the universities of Virginia
and South Carolina.
The faculty at the University of Miami
received the top ranking in the Southeast
for geology; Maryland faculty members
were rated highest in mathematics.
In physics, the UNC faculty tied for
third in the Southeast in the reputational
rankings with Duke and Florida State
universities. University of Maryland facul
ty were ranked first in physics, followed by
Johns Hopkins University. '
Lyle Jones, chairman of the psychology
department at UNC, and Garner Lindsey,
director of the Center for Advanced Study
in Behavioral Sciences in.Stanford, Calif.,
served as co-chairmen of the study com
mittee. Jones said last week that the reputa
tional rankings were only a part of the
overall study, which was divided into six
different categories program size,
characteristics of graduates, reputation of
the department and its faculty, university
library size and research support and
publications.
"The study was directed toward the
quality of students who get the Ph.D. in
the respective departments," Jones said.
"One would hope that a department
which had an excellent faculty and strong
Ph.D.s would also have an excellent
undergraduate program, and that has been
the tradition here at Chapel Hill."
Jones also said that if Maryland had not
been considered a Southeastern state, the
UNC faculty would have been ranked
highest in the Southeast in scientific fields.
UNC Chancellor Christopher C. Ford
ham III said he was extremely pleased by
the study's findings.
"I think it is another expression of the
fact that we have a superb and outstanding
faculty," he said, "It is the premiere facul
ty in the Southeast."
Fordham said he was also pleased that
the senior UNC professors cited in the
study also taught undergraduate students.
"There is a concerted effort to see that
the ratio of senior and junior professors
for undergraduate students is balanced,"
he said.
About 228 universities across the coun
try and 5,000 faculty members participated
in the faculty evaluations.
A similar faculty reputation survey con
ducted in 1969 showed that the four UNC
departments included in the 1982 survey
chemistry, gedlogy, physics and
mathematics all showed significant im
provement, Jones said.
The chemistry program showed the
most improvement, ranking fourth among
all chemistry programs in the nation in im
provement of rated quality of program
faculty. Geology also showed considerable
gains, followed closely by mathematics
and physics, he said.
On a national scale, the faculty reputa
tion of the UNC biostatistics program
ranked second among the 12 biostatistics
programs . rated, topped only by the
University' of Washington. The UNC
statistics program ranked fifth among all
statistics programs in the country, behind
Stanford, the University of California at
Berkeley, the University of Chicago and
the University of Washington.
UNC chemistry ranked 18th out of 145
chemistry programs in the United States,
and seventh among the nation's state
universities.
The UNC program in computer science
ranked 16th out of the 57 computer
science programs in the nation, the UNC
program in mathematics ranked 35th out
of 1 14 programs, physics ranked 37th out
of 1 18 programs and geology was 45th out
of 91 programs.
