Majors aneonieces ietenltioini
to ram for senior class secretary
By JUSTIN McGUIRE
Staff Writer
Tamera Majors, a junior journal
ism and political science major from
Greensboro, has announced her
candidacy for senior class secretary.
The most important responsibility
of the secretary is "getting the word
out," Majors said. "Communication
is essential to having an effective
group of officers." She said her
experience in publications would
help her communicate with the class.
If elected, she would produce a
senior class newsletter as a way of
keeping the class informed. Majors
said. "It would probably be monthly,
although it would be more often if
funds permitted," she said. She
would also like to take out adver
tising space in the Daily Tar Heel
to present a two-week calendar of
events for seniors. "Things which

More than $16,000 was raised for
cystic fibrosis research at UNC's
Medical School during a pre-Super
Bowl fund raiser, said Doug
Richardson, a spokesperson for CBS
Sports.
On the pre-game program "Beat
the Greek," Super Bowl viewers were
given the opportunity to agree or
disagree with Jimmy "the Greek"
Snyder's predicted winner in the
Super Bowl. CBS subscribed to an
AT&T telephone line, and each time
a viewer called in, CBS made 50
cents. After the phone line had paid
for itself, a percentage of the money
went into profit for CBS and the rest
to charity. Over 300,000 calls were
taken, and the resulting $16,000

Next week, Feb. 9-12, has been
designated as Rape Awareness Week
at UNC by three campus groups.
These groups Human Relations
Committee, Women's Forum, and
Rape Action Project have
planned a number of events designed
to educate and make students aware
of rape.
Lauren Lindsey, chairperson of
the Human Relations Committee,
said educating students about rape
s the main goal of the planners.
. "Our goals are to stress to students
how much of a problem that rape
is. not only on this campus but also
on other campuses," said Lindsey.
Assistant police chief chosen to serve
temporarily in place of retired chief
By SCOTT GREIG
Staff Writer
After a search that lasted almost
one and a half months, Assistant
Police Chief Arnold Gold was
appointed interim police chief of
Chapel Hill Thursday by Town
Manager David Taylor.
His appointment becomes effec
tive Monday.
Gold succeeds Herman Stone as
police chief. Stone officially retired
Saturday after 38 years in the Police
Department.
"Arnold Gold is a distinguished
20-year veteran of the police depart
ment, and he is very familiar with
department operations and person
nel," Taylor said in a prepared
statement released by his office
Thursday.
"I'm very pleased to have the
opportunity to take over on an
interim basis for Chief Stone," Gold
said. "I'm very satisfied. These are

didn't get into the newsletter could
go in there," she said.
Marshal selection is another
important function of the officers.
Majors said. Being selected as a
marshal should be an honor, she
said. She said she would like to select
a group of unified marshals who
were innovative and good listeners.
"Marshals should be people very
capable of achieving, organizing and
carrying through ideas," she said.
"They shouldn't be just friends of the
officers."
Majors said commencement
should be "a very unique and special
thing." One way to achieve this
would be to have two speakers at
the ceremony. "One could be some
profit will be donated to the ongoing
cystic fibrosis research in Chapel Hill
on the suggestion of Snyder's wife
and daughter Stephanie.
Snyder, who lives in the Durham
area, has had several children die of
cystic fibrosis, and has been involved
in fund raising since research on
cystic fibrosis began about 25 years
ago.
Cystic fibrosis, a hereditary dis
ease, becomes progressively worse as
the victim ages. A child, for example,
could exhibit no symptoms early in
life. Affecting enzymes in the diges
tive system and resulting in a
constant collection of fluid in the
lungs, the disease is like having a
constant case of severe bronchitis,
said Dr. Michael Knowles, director
of UNC's adult cystic fibrosis clinic.
trial to raise rape awareness
This is the second straight year
that a Rape Awareness Week has
been sponsored on this campus.
Lindsey says that it was started after
students began realizing how serious
the problem of rape is. Last year,
though only sponsored by the
Human Relations Committee, the
week went well, according to Lind
sey. She hopes that it will be even
more successful this year.
"I'd like to see at least 200 people
at the mock presentation that we're
going to give and about 20 at the
small discussion groups," Lindsey
said.
Besides Lindsey, there are about
seven other students from the three
groups helping plan the awareness
the kinds of goals you set for yourself
when you enter a career in law
enforcement."
Gold said he was not concerned
with the possibility of being named
as the police chief on a permanent
basis.
"Right now, there's so much work
to be done, as there always is, and
there's really no sense in my looking
ahead," he said.
The Police Department will con
tinue to follow the policies that Stone
brought to Chapel Hill, Gold said.
"If it isn't broken, you don't fix
it," Gold said. "Stone did a marvel
ous job on everything here, especially
in terms of setting up great lines of
cooperation between the town, the
University and the Police
Department."
Gold served as lieutenant, admi
nistrative assistant to the chief and
captain before his promotion to
major in 1982.

one of prestige, maybe a political
figure, who could bring a sense of
morality and patriotism," she said.
"The other could be someone dif
ferent, like Peter Ueberroth this year,
who could provide a spark."
Seniors can work to improve
spirit, she said. She said they could
work together on things like home
coming and pep rallies. "I was part
of Carolina Fever this year and we
staged a pretty successful pep rally,"
she said. "I'd like to see the senior
class become involved in things like
that because they can help unify the
campus as a whole.
Tm very excited about being a
senior and about being a Carolina
student," Majors said. "If the officers
can work as a good core group to
pull ideas together, we can have a
great senior year."
beat odds
Twenty-five years ago, the median
age of a victim was 3 years old.
Today, it is 25. Knowles explained
that cystic fibrosis is extremely
difficult not only for the patients who
must cope with the knowledge that
their life will almost certainly be cut
short, but also for the parents who
tend to carry guilt for passing the
disease to a child and watching that
child's health slowly deteriorate until
death.
Knowles described research in his
field as explosive. "There's a big push
right now . . . we're very close to
knowing the cause of the disease and
knowing how to treat it successfully."
The research center in Chapel Hill
houses machines ranging in price
from a relatively inexpensive $25,000
to well over $100,000.
events. One of these students is Polly
Guthrie, a member of Women's
Forum. She hopes that men as well
as women will benefit from the
events planned.
"I'd like to see everyone on campus
- both men and women get
something out of this week since it
is an issue that concerns both of the
sexes," said Guthrie.
A few of the events planned for
the week include a panel discussion
featuring representatives from law
enforcement, rape crisis and preven
tioru medicine, law, and psychology;
a mock trial of a date rape case; and
a speech by Laura X, director of the
National Clearinghouse on marital
and date rape.
"1 am confident that Assistant
Chief Gold will provide the necessary
leadership to maintain quality police
services to the Chapel Hill commun
ity during his interim period," Taylor
said.
A permanent police chief will be
appointed sometime later this year
with the search beginning this spring,
Taylor said.
Gold was appointed assistant chief
in 1984. He originally joined the
police department as a patrolman in
November 1966.
He holds a degree in Administra
tion of Justice from Guilford
College.
Stone, at the time of his announce
ment, said he was stepping down to
spend more time with his family.
Stone was also taking advantage of
a recent change in the state's police
retirement system, which allocates
supplemental benefits to career
officers who choose early retirement.
Stone announced his retirement in
December. He began his career as
a patrolman in Chapel Hill in 1949.

The Institute for Private Enterprise in Kenan Center brings expertise from the business world to UNC
Newly opened Institute draws
wealth of experience to UNC
By BECKY RIDDICK
Staff Writer
The Institute of Private Enter
prise, part of the UNC School of
Business Administration, pro
vides a chance for academic and
business communities to come
together.
"The major benefit of having
a national institute of this nature
on campus is that it brings a wider
base of support to the Univer
sity,'" said Rollie Tillman Jr.,
director of the Institute. Tillman
also teaches at the Business
School.
"The purpose (of the Institute)
will be to strengthen the study and
broaden the identification of
those aspects of the private
enterprise system through which
the generating of wealth provides
employment and otherwise
enriches society," according to
Joanna Smith, assistant director
of the Institute.
The Institute brings business
men from all over the country in
contact with students and entre
preneurs, Tillman said. This
enhances the reputation and
raises the mobility of the Business1
School.
Rains raise hopes of farmers
From Associated Press reports
RALEIGH Heavy rains in
January have increased groundwater
levels, bringing good news to the
state's farmers who last summer
watched their crops shrivel in the
fields as watering ponds turned to
dust bowls.
"It looks like we have quite a bit
of water around now," said Philip
Duncan, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service at
Raleigh-Durham Airport. "Our
rivers have been flooding at least
in the eastern part of the state. I'd
definitely say the drought is over."
State agricultural officials have
estimated farm losses from the last
year's drought at $330 million.
However, the state might not be
entirely out of trouble. Experts said
it would take at least average rainfall
in the next several months to main
tain healthy conditions for growers
in the spring and summer.
But things look good so far this
year.
The U.S. Geological Survey said
groundwater levels were above
normal at three of its four N.C.
. measuring sites at the end of
January.
At the Chapel Hill well in Orange
County, the water level was 45.46

DI0L0GICALS
Since the Institute became fully
operational in the fall of 1986, it
has initiated five major programs
designed to help businessmen and
entrepreneurs with new ventures.
These programs include
research, enterprise fellows, man
agement seminars, executives-in-residence
and the Association of
Venture Founders.
The research program con
centrates on long-term studies of
growing businesses, development
of case studies and teaching
materials, and continuous consul

program gives professors access
to research opportunities that
otherwise would not exist, Til

fl The enterprise fellows pro
gram brings in visiting scholars
to conduct semester-long projects
and to research various business
related topics.

program invites executives to

presentation during a two-day

Kathy Hill, a hydrologist with the
geological survey, said the Orange
County figures were deceiving. She
said the level was lower in January
than in the summer because the
measuring well is particularly deep,
and recent rains haven't had time to
seep in.
At the Blantyre well in Transyl
vania County, the water level was
29.84 feet below ground, 3.5 feet
above normal.
' At the Mocksville well in Davie
County, the water level was 18.29
feet below ground, 1.8 feet above
normal. The level was 22 feet below
ground in July.
At the Elizabeth City well in
Pasquotank County, the water level
was 1.07 feet below ground, 1.4 feet
above normal. The level was 9.05 feet
below ground in July.

The Association of Venture
Founders is a private organiza
tion of businessmen who have
launched successful ventures.
What does the business world
think about the Institute's
programs?
Campbell Cawood, general
partner of Venture First Secur
ities in Winston Salem, said the
Institute was trying to "demys
tify" private enterprise.
The Institute analyzes organi
zations that have been successful
in their ventures and tries to find
the formula for advancement in
the business world, he said.
"The Institute is trying to
understand and research the
social aspects of business and
integrate them with the financial
aspects," Cawood said.
The Institute is funded by a gift
from the William R. Kenan Jr.
Fund. It is housed in the $8
million Kenan Center built from
the same fund.
The Institute's activities are
guided by a board of trustees,
which is composed of 24 company
founders and corporate execu
