Court may
force policy
disclosure
By JEAN LUTES
Assistant University Editor
UNC-system officials could be
compelled to release chancellors'
recommendations about athletic
department policies by a court ruling
expected in the next two weeks.
In the lawsuit, the North Carolina
Press Association and the News and
Observer Publishing Co. demand the
release of chancellors' special reports
on athletic recruiting, season lengths
and the number of games per season.
The information sought was not
contained in the previously released
First Annual Report on Intercolle
giate Athletics.
President CD. Spangler and
Associate Vice President Arthur
Padilla have been named as defen
dants in the suit.
A Board of Governors policy
adopted last year requires UNC
system schools to submit annual
reports on their athletic programs.
The system's report is a compilation
of those submitted by chancellors of
15 UNC-system schools.
The University requested the delay
after Wake Superior Court last
Tuesday ordered Spangler and
Padilla to make the athletic reports
public.
The North Carolina Court of
Appeals Friday granted a temporary
stay of Superior Court Judge D.
Marsh McLelland's order. The
appeals court is expected to decide
within the next two weeks if the
reports are subject to the state public
records law. If they are considered
public records, the recommenda
tions must be released.
Chancellors from all schools in the
UNC-system except the North
Carolina School of Arts, which
doesn't have an athletic program,
submitted reports by Oct. 1.
The reports contain SAT scores
and graduation rates of athletes, the
goals of each school's athletic pro
gram and special recommendations
from chancellors about changing

Chancellor's office

South Building, according to
some accounts, is where the. buck
stops and sometimes where the ball
starts rolling.
The chancellor's job is similar to
a chief executive officer's position in
a large corporation. Overseeing the
University's divisions, which serve
20,000 students and 8,000 faculty
members, the chancellor directs
UNC's finances, academic programs,
public relations and student affairs.
"The CEO (chief executive officer)
should understand and represent
(the University's) . . . personality
and the qualities and values of the
institution," UNC Chancellor Chris
topher Fordham said in a recent
interview. "That's a tall order.
"1 believe it's difficult for the
incumbent to judge his degree of
success or failure. You just go with
your instincts and what you hear and
sense from others, and basically do
the best you can," he said.
A flexible system
Fordham sets UNC's course with
help from academic and administra
tive departments ranging from vice
chancellors to faculty to students,
Fordham said.
And that course is far-reaching.
For example, the perspective courses
required of all undergraduates stem
from the chancellor's and the aca
demic department chairmen's favor
of a strong liberal arts curriculum.
Students are not the only ones
affected by the office. The needs of
the University are related to many
groups, including UNC's Board of
Trustees, the UNC-system's Board of
Governors, General Administration
and system president, North Carol
ina's General Assembly, the Federal
Government and the citizens of the
state.

Broadway

Argentina's first lady during the
1940s, Eva Peron, is the subject of
the hit musical "Evita," which will
be performed by the Broadway
touring company tonight in Memor
ial Hall. The show, the second
performance of the Carolina Union's
Performing Arts series, will be
presented by Daedalus Productions.
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd
Webber, the team which created
"Cats" and "Jesus Christ Superstar,"
composed "Evita." The story is told
entirely through song.
"It's the technique of opera app
lied to the popular musical stage,"
producer John Adams said. "It's one
of the first, if not the first, musical
to be entirely sung with no dialogue."
According to Adams, this tech
"I have a lot of bosses," Fordham
said.
The chancellor also hears from
UNC alumni, benefactors, profes
sional organizations, UNC faculty
and students and their parents.
It's those relationships, along with
a different style of leadership, that
set the University apart from a major
corporation, Fordham said.
The chancellor works closely with
seven executive assistants, responsi
ble for keeping him up-to-date on
the operations of the University's
divisions. I
Due to the nature of the Univer
sity, Fordham said, other divisions
eventually report to the chancellor,
but the relationships between his
office and the vice chancellors,
provosts and deans are not rigidly
structured to ensure flexibility.
The various divisions relate to the
chancellor in almost the same way
student organizations relate to the
vice chancellor who oversees them,
Fordham said. The students initiate
and run their own programs
independent of the University but
they can turn to the vice chancellor
when they need assistance.
"1 promote that," Fordham said.
"A lot of problems never reach my
desk. They are handled at other
levels, as they should be. The
chancellor can't be involved in
everything and does not want to be."
The CEO dichotomy
Bobo Tanner, chairman of the
board of trustees and a Rutherford
ton businessman, said the private
world and the academic world have
different personalities. A profit and
loss margin doesn't exist in academia
and there is no bottom line. That
provides more flexibility, he said.

Peron was such a legendary person

(Rice and Webber may have thought
that) dialogue would melodramatize
her," he said.
"Evita" opened on Broadway in
1979, and ran for four years. "It was
not well-reviewed, but it was an
immediate sellout," Adams said. The
instant success of the musical was'
due to news of the tremendous
success of the London production
which had preceded the U.S. pro
duction. Also, the album and the
memorable song, "Don't Cry for Me,
Argentina," had gained popularity in
the United States before the musical
arrived. "Evita" went on to win seven
Tony Awards in 1979.
The musical traces the life of Eva
Duarte Peron from her early years

But the sheer magnitude of the
University's operation does lead to
comparisons to large corporations,

said, many decisions are made from
the bottom up.
"The chancellor is actively

he doesn't try to run them," she said.
"As the CEO he is involved in
everything and his staff is careful to
keep him up to date and give him
the opportunity to provide his ideas."

The United States is the safest
place from which to fight human
rights injustices, said the widow of
the victim of a Chilean military coup
d'etat in 1973.
Joyce Horman, whose Chilean
experiences were portrayed by Sissy
Spacek in the movie, "Missing," told
about 175 people in the Student
Union Tuesday that ways to fight
human rights abuses include letter
writing, the sanctuary movement
and humanitarian aid projects.
President Augusto Pinochet's
government has been accused of
killing Horman's husband, Charles,
because "he knew too much," she
said.
Horman said Amnesty Interna
tional, a human rights organization,
is an effective way of fighting human
rights abuses.
"Amnesty International lets the
torturers know that the rest of the
world knows what is going on," she
said. "It changes the way a prison
relates to that prisoner."
Seniors decide on gift

' The UNC Senior Class of 1987 gift
will represent a $200,000 overall
investment in the University, accord
ing to senior class officers.
The four-part gift will be a con
tribution to the Carolina Contact
program, two or three visitor infor
mation stations, a young faculty
teaching award and a student life
endowment fund, David Venable,
senior class president, said.

When a country turns against its
own people, the only way to combat
it is by international outrage, she
said.
"You're important, and what we
do is important," she told the
audience.
Horman said "Missing" accurately
reflected the events that occurred in
Chile, although the State Depart
ment produced a three-page white
paper denying that the events
occurred in that manner.
Horman said she and her husband
traveled through Latin America in
the 1970s and targeted Santiago, the
Chilean capital, as their destination.
"We were excited to be in Chile,"
she said. "All the Chileans were
discussing politics. It was so vital and
different to us, so we set our mind
to stay there."

will try to raise $200,000 for the gift,
according to chairman Scott Jones.
Each senior can pledge $200, payable
over five years in increasing install
ments, Jones said.
The first part of the gift is a one
time, $10,000 contribution to the
Carolina Contact program, a pro

high school students through cam
pus visits, Venable said. "They're a
