The Village Companies are plan
ning to run public service announce
ments promoting the use of condoms
to protect against teenage pregnancy
and the spread of Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome.
The Village Companies received a
request last month from the Medical
and Social Advisory Council of the
Orange County Board of Commis
sioners for a policy to advertise
condoms as a prevention against
AIDS, said Village Companies
president Jim Heavner.
U.S. Surgeon General Everett
Koop has called on the media to run
such public service announcements
because the threat of AIDS out

$30,000 less.
"It's just the law of supply and
demand," said Lawrence Gilbert,
chairman of the biology department.
"There are more people looking for
jobs in the humanities. Someone in
the sciences might get five job offers,
while for an English-teaching posi
tion there might be 500 applicants.
So 1 think it's what you call
capitalism."
Gilbert said he thought UNC
faculty salaries were adequate.
"I'd say we're competitive with
other state universities," he said. "In
the Ivy League schools, schools with -private
endowments, I'd expect
they'd be much higher than us. We'd
be better off comparing ourselves
with other state universities."
But Cesareo Bandera, chairman of
the Department of Romance Lan
guages, said he didn't think UNC's
salaries were competitive.
"Most definitely not," he said. "In
the context of 20 peer institutions
that are comparable in terms of
prestige to UNC-Chapel Hill, we'd
probably be at the very bottom."
While salaries at UNC are com
petitive overall with those at other
institutions, he said, salaries in the
humanities are not.
"It's a real distortion of the
picture," he said. "It's about $10,000
lower in the humanities." Low
salaries in the humanities are not
good for UNC's recruitment efforts,
he said.
"It's very hard to hire a good,
, decent, acceptable professor at the
level of pay we have here," he said.
; "If you want to hire people, you have
j to offer them salaries comparable to
what they're making now, and we're
not doing that. It's creating an
unhealthy situation."
Even though UNC's salaries may
be lower than those of other univer
sities of similar prestige, they still are
sufficient for life in Chapel Hill,
Gilbert said.
"The cost of living here is much
lower than in New York, Cambridge
and Berkeley," he said. "This is the
most expensive place in North
Carolina, but it's cheaper than a lot
of places in the rest of the country."
It's not pay that rankles many
UNC faculty members, Gilbert said,
but extras.
"We have one of the worst fringe
benefits programs in the United
I States," he said. "The medical plan

from 1986 to 1987, while at UNC
they went up by 4.2 percent.

The Village Companies owns
radio stations WCHL-AM in Chapel
Hill, WZZU-FM in Raleigh and
WKQQ in Lexington, Ky., and
publishes The Village Advocate in
Chapel Hill and The Leader in
Research Triangle Park.
These local publications and radio
stations will be able to address the
threats of AIDS and teenage preg
nancies according to local needs,
Heavner said.
"(The media) should also be
sensitive to local values and the
nature and gravity of the issue here
in the community," Heavner said.
Before deciding to run the
announcements, the Village Com

survey asked about their opinions on
public service announcements for

Of those leaders who received the
survey, 75 percent responded. From
those respondents, 75 percent said
they were in favor of running the

Webb said he had also studied
AIDS and found that it could be
passed on by saliva and other body
fluids, so the condom is not a fool

The 1987 Entrepreneur Forum,
sponsored by the UNC MBA and
undergraduate entrepreneur
clubs, will be held Saturday at the
Kenan Center from 9:30 a.m. to
3:30 p.m.
The forum will feature four
speakers, and students must pay
the $5 registration fee by 5 p.m.
Wednesday.
"This is part of an effort to get
students to learn from entrepre
neurs," said Walter Harris, a
graduate student and member of
the UNC Entrepreneur Club. The
purpose of the program will be
to give interested students a better
understanding of the challenges
and rewards of starting new
business ventures.

Colm said the use of public service
announcements without paid ads
would be a disadvantage because the
stations would run the announce
ments only when they wanted to.
They usually run late at night, when
they reach the smallest audience, she
said.
But paid advertisers can set the
time the ads will run. Colm said a
limit should be placed on the times
of day condom ads could be run on.

The forum will be held in a
large meeting room, so that
students will hear all four speak

be: Thomas Jones, chairman of
R.H. Barringer; Jim Lumsden,
chairman of Lumsden, Hale,

Agro-Tech Corp. and American
Forest Mushroom Association;
and David Burr, president of

Students can register for the
forum by sending checks via

room or by dropping checks in
the designated box in the mail
room. Registration includes a
catered lunch at Kenan Center.
