Applications, SAT scores rise
Dy BETH WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
The increase in the number of
admission applicants to UNC has
contributed to the rise in average
freshman SAT scores, according to
Tim Sanford, director of Institu
tional Research.
Competition for acceptance to the
University is tougher because of the
large number of applications
received in the past two to four years,
he said.
Even with the rise in applications,
the University is having trouble
attracting minority students. "The
numbers are holding steady at best,"
Sanford said.
The admissions committee takes
many factors into consideration
when reviewing applications, said
Barbara Polk, assistant director of
admissions. All applications are
Bull's Head to spotlight banned books
By CHARLOTTE CANNON
Staff Writer
This week is National Banned
Book Week, and the Bull's Head
book store is sponsoring campus
exhibits and a Thursday presenta
tion in the Pit.
The week is supported by the
American Library Association, the
American Booksellers Association
and other groups. Most book outlets
recognize the annual event to pub
licize censorship.
"We're trying to show that cen
sorship is not dead, said Erica
Eisdorfer, assistant manager of Bull's
Head book store. Most pe6ple are
not aware of how many books are
challenged or banned across the
United States, she said.
Thursday from noon to 1 p.m.,
UNC professors and students will
read from banned books in the Pit
to "further emphasize the threat to
freedom of speech by censorship,"
Eisdorfer said. Three instructors
from the English department, an
instructor from the political science
department and various students will
read short passages from their
favorite banned books.

Duke University's department of
music will sponsor a ball and three
musical recitals featuring faculty
members, the Duke Wind Sym
phony and two well-known musi
cians in October.
The events will take place on the
Duke University campus and at the
Durham Civic Center.
Joyce Peck, music department
voice instructor, will perform with
pianist Catherine Cameron at a
faculty recital at 8:15 p.m. Sunday,
Oct. 5, in the Earnest W. Nelson
Music Room in the E. Duke
Building.
The two will perform Johannes
Brahms' "Five Songs of Ophelia,"
Wolfgang Mozart's "Chio me scordi
di te?" and other works.
The recital will also feature love
songs and several poems by Emily
Dickenson set to music, marking the
100th anniversary of her death.
Trips to away games planned
The Alumni Association is spon
soring bus or plane trips to most
away football games this season, said
Bryant Dunlap, assistant director of
Alumni Affairs.
"The trips are primarily for
alumni, but fans or students who
want to go are certainly welcome,"
he said.
Dunlap said the response had been
slow so far, "but if Carolina con

judged on a combination of things,
including class rank and SAT scores.
Course selection is also very
important in the admission review.
"We would rather see students take
difficult courses and make B's than
make A's in easier courses, Polk
said.
Most applications are read by two
different members of the committee.
Because only 18 percent of the
incoming freshman class can be from
out of state, the competition for
those spots has increased, Polk said.
The rise in applications has been
partly caused by recent national
recognition in Newsweek and Public
Ivies, Polk said. The publicity has
attracted students that may not have
considered UNC before, she said.
"We offer a quality education at
bargain rates, she said.
The Admissions Office also has a
special policy for students with

Dental School bans lecture taping
By LIZ SAYLOR
Staff Writer
UNC's Dental School has
instituted a general restriction on
electronic recording of lectures
and faculty members say it's
based on the professor's right to
be quoted in context.
"It's not an absolute prohibi
tion," said Ben Barker, dean of
the Dental School. Students may
secure the written permission of
the instructor if they need to tape
because of hearing disorders,
dyslexia or classes missed while
away on rotations, he said.
If they tape without permis
sion, however, they will receive
a warning. Later infractions will
be punished by suspension from
the course and an F or suspension
from the school, as determined by
the department of academic
affairs, said Barker.
"We're a professional school,
and I think a warning will take
care of it," Barker said. "The
other side of it is just to say you
really do mean business about it.
Let's don't treat it lightly."
There are no similar policies for
the Medical, Pharmacy, Public
Health or Law schools at UNC.
Task force to help students' problems
By RACHEL ORR
Staff Writer
The Student Government grie
vance task force is launching its
campaign this week to help students
solve their problems, Mark Rogers,
executive assistant, said Monday.
Task force members will operate
an informational booth in the Pit
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday
and Thursday, Rogers said, and
fliers will be distributed.
The task force is comprised of
executive assistants Kim McCombs,
Carter Newbold and Rogers and 13
Student Government workers. It
plans to help students solve their
problems by either referring them to
the proper organization or accom
panying them to an appropriate
administrator.

Also, the potential cuts have
affected the morale of faculty

The Nursing School does require
the professor's permission for
taping a lecture.
Barker said the policy could be
amended, but he had not heard
any complaints about it. This
policy did exist before in the
continuing education program,
he said, and was extended to all
courses in the school.
"Over the years we've had a
number of incidents where the
teacher or faculty member was
really disturbed," Barker said.
The policy decision was based
on the principle of academic
freedom, Barker said.
"My personal view is that when
you give a lecture in a public
university, after all, those students
in that classroom are the ones
who pay tuition for that," Barker
said. "It shouldn't be something
that can be taken out and pro
vided for those who didn't attend
that class."
Barker said the policy was a
response by the Dental School to
"technological encroachment."
"We have had some students
who were concerned that things
were said in a classroom, and they
heard a segment played out of
directly," Rogers said. "They don't
know the right channels to do it."
The whole idea of the grievance
task force is to help students help
themselves, he said.
Both students and task force
members will learn from the
problem-solving efforts, he said.
Rogers said that last spring the
grievance task force was unsuccess
ful because there wasn't enough time
to organize properly.
This year, though, the group is
large enough to handle a wide range
of problems, he said.
Posters with grievance-forms will
be placed around the exit of Davis
Library, the Union desk, the memo
board of the Undergraduate Library
and Suite C in the Union, Rogers
said.
Students who fill out the forms
and place them in the slots provided
on the posters will be contacted by
our instructional effectiveness,'
Palmer said. "It will also impact very
negatively on our research mission
and on the stature of the department,
locally and nationally.
"We shouldn't be talking about
less money; we should be talking
about more money," he said.
Joseph Flora, chairman of the
English department, said plans have
been hurt because the University
cant commit the funds departments
originally expected to receive.
If the budget cut does happen,
chairmen said the effects will be

context in some of the local
reading rooms," he said. "They
thought this was an inappropriate
thing."
Wendy Willoughby, a senior in
the school, said she did not use
a tape recorder, yet she said the
policy was not right.
"In the Dental School there's
a lot of information that's hard
to get all down in one hour,"
Willoughby said. "I think the
reason for the policy now is
because a few people would tape
the lecture, type it up and put it
in the library. So a lot of people
didn't come to class."
Barker said he did not consider
taping to be a serious problem in
the school, though it did concern
some people more than others.
"It has fundamentally to do
with instructors who are free to
express themselves responsibly in
a classroom and not to be taped
and have that tape played out of
the context of their total com
ment," Barker said.
Mark Scurria, a second-year
dental student, said the new
policy did not affect the majority
