2 The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday. October 16. 1985 Po)freS(D)oa Unas catroeD3 awnd ffsnnrnBDy together. By RACHEL STROUD Statt Wnter It been said that families of teachers produce good educators. Barbara D. Day. professor and chairwoman of curriculum and instruction in the School of Education is an example. I'm from a family of teachers, school principals and superintendents," Day said. "My father thought 1 should be a teacher." After earning her master's degree in education from UNC in 1962, Day became a teacher for one year in the Raleigh school system. Later she became a teaching principal in the Orange County school system. After that, she moved to the position of Chapel Hill school principal and then to assistant superintendent, where she said she was one of two women assistant superintendents. While she was in the Chapel Hill city schools and working on her doctorate, Carr 3rown, then an education profes sor at UNC, recruited her to come to UNC to direct an early childhood grant of $245,000 to begin a training program to supervise teaching for starting kindergartens. The program was taught at the University. "Dr. Brown said 1 should be in higher education," Day said. "After 1 finished my Ph.D. here, 1 was offered a position of associate professor in the School of Education." Day said many contemporaries at the time said that a person shouldn't teach where he or she had gone to school, so Day went to the University of California at Berkeley, Duke and Harvard to do graduate work in education before she came back to UNC. Day is very involved with education as she is working with an $80,000 grant from Z. Smith Reynolds Corp. to develop model programs for teaching three and four year olds in the public schools of North Carolina. Imparting information is an impor tant part of helping young people develop, so they can become contrib utors to the world and develop as a person, Day said.

As well as working with the grant. Day is busy in several state and national organizations, and she is a former president of the Associaton for Super vision and Curriculum Development, an international organiation of 7(),(XX) members. . Although Day said she was involved with education at a state and national level, she said she still found time as a professor to research and write. Her latest two books are Good Schools for Young Children and Early Childhood Education; Creative Learn ing. Both books are being translated into Japanese and Korean, Day said. Day said the students she taught were those going into higher education and teachers pursuing their master's and doctorate degrees. In the 18 years she has been at UNC, she has observed that education stu dents have been, in general, "caring young people, sincere and committed to service," she said. Without commitment, they wouldn't choose education, she said. The students who come here care about human beings and they want to impart infor mation to other people, she said. While Day has a busy career there is not a single blank space on her calendar she said she and her family had a close relationship. She has one daughter, Susan Dou glas, who is in third grade, and she just celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary. "IVe been lucky and always had lots of doors open to me," Day said. "I have lots of energy and I enjoy new and challenging situations." for the record In Monday and Tuesday's Daily Tar Heel account of the Alton Eugene Harris Jr. trial, Harris' mother, Rosa Harris, was incorrectly identified as Edna Harris.

The body had been turned over to Taylor to sobmift dfoainiges By WAYNE GRIMSLEY Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council voted Monday to have the town manager recommend changes in police and fire department policy next March. The council also approved the Rosem ary Square site plans for the final time. The Historic District Commission approved the plans on Oct. 10 with the condition that building begin July 6. Councilman David Pasquini voted against the plans, and said he believed that they would change following review by the newly elected council that will take office in January. The council referred the police and fire matter to Town Manager David Taylor after members praised a report by Rusten Associates that criticizes animosity between fire department officials and recommends that the fire chief be replaced. The plan also calls for the merging of the town's police and fire depart ments into one public safety department. Mayor Joe Nassif praised the report and said the town council was among those who should also be blamed for fire department problems. "All the blame has fallen on the top echelon of management," he said. "I don't agree." He said fire officials have no reason to argue or be in disarray. "I don't understand why this bickering goes on," he said. "They should uphold policy -everrif they dorrt' like it-i i'.-.v r Fire Chief Everette Lloyd was - at Monday's meeting but did not comment on the report.

Funding system studied RALEIGH The controversial system of allocating state funding of programs for gifted children in which caps are placed on the number of students who can receive the money is being examined by a legislative study committee. Ceilings on the number of students who are permitted to participate in the program is unpopular but abol ishing them would raise the pro grams' cost considerably. The programs were appropriated $152 million in the fiscal 1985-1986 year by the lawmakers. Any disciplinary action against fire department officials will not be decided until the new council takes office, said Pasquini. Taylor said he had not yet planned any small changes in department policy that might be made before March. Pasquini said he hoped a merger between the fire and police departments would happen. Councilman Jonathan Howes said he saw no impediments preventing a merger. "It could be done, but the fire department would be in opposition," he said. "They have different traditions." Allen Rusten, president of Rusten Associates , consulting firm, said the advantage of a police-fire department merger would be having one depart ment head instead of two. "The PSO (Public Safety Officer) program has been here a short time," he said. "It will be appropriate to take the next step in the near future." The newly elected council would be briefed and ready to discuss the possible policy changes, Nassif said. Councilwoman Nancy Preston said her only criticism was that the officials mentioned in the report should have been informed before the press. In other action, the council unanim ously approved a resolution that will allow Village Cable to raise its rates by 10 percent annually during the next two years without council approval. Larger increases must be studied and approved by the council. t? Also,- the-council approved preliminary- plans for the.
