This time, Divestment committee is ooweFlessQ members claim By SMITHSON MILLS Staff Writer Lack of power to recommend divestment measures to the Board of Trustees has caused unrest among ; members of the Endowment Board's divestment committee.

The defending national champions, a great rival, what more can you expect?" - Season-opening jitters ruled the beginning of the match. But the Tar Heels were quick to the ball and showed great teamwork. And when Duke threatened, the defense, led by captain Dave Smyth, junior less to determine the outcome of the fight for divestment. "The way the committee is now, we could have everybody on it for divestment and still not get anything done," Bailey said.

The 13 campus police officers who filed grievances with the University told UNC's personnel department that guidelines for equal opportunity and affirmative action were not followed when promotions were granted in June. Reporters were barred from the hearing Tuesday morning. "Our main grievance was the fact that the positions were appointed, rather than posted on the bulletin board so everyone could have an opportunity (to apply)," said officer OlUe Bowler. Bowler said Robert Sherman, UNC director of public safety, wanted to ensure that certain people received certain positions. "The department runs on the buddy system," he said. Sherman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

If executed, the three-lane, south bound Pittsboro Street would extend through Little Fraternity Court, past Granville Towers and Central Carol ina Bank, across . Franklin and Rosemary streets and finally merge with Airport Road. Also, Columbia Street in front of Big Fraternity Court would become one-way, heading north. The three fraternities in Little Fraternity Court that could possibly be leveled are Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma and Zeta Psi. "(The extension) might take more than one house, but that's the way you build roads," said John Sanders, a member of the newly formed joint University-Town Committee and director of UNC's Institute of Government. Sanders said the town would offer the fraternities a fair market price for their houses, but if they refuse to sell, the town could condemn the houses and have them torn down anyway. group Action Against Apartheid, McKinley said, "Our stance is that we are no longer participating in this committee." Bailey said he understands McKin ley 's resignation. "The people involved in the di vestment movement for the past three years have put a lot of energy into this issue," Bailey said.

The permanent $5 student activity fee increase will go toward mainte nance of the system and repayment of the loan from the chancellor's fund. Lanier said students and student officers were not given an equal opportunity for promotion. "Where does equal opportunity stop?" she asked. "Does it end after you apply? No, it applies throughout your career." - There are now two black supervi sors for 13 blacks, in a department with 40 employees, she said. "I am the only black female in the history of University police, and I have been here 13 years," Edwards said. "Every year I have brought this up, and nothing has ever been done about it." During the hearing, the officers asked Dan Burleson, assistant per sonnel director for employee rela tions, to rescind all promotions that had been granted in June under the appointee process. "It's wrong, and it should never have happened," Edwards said. "We all have just as much education, and we have just as much experience." Burleson could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Susan Ehringh aus, assistant to the chancellor, said she could not comment on the issue because it is a personnel matter. The officers said the situation is "In a case like this, it's a matter of public interest versus private interest and the law says that public interest presides over private inter est," Sanders said. The Pittsboro Street Extension is a part of Chapel Hill's Thoroughfare Plan, adopted in 1968. This plan recommends several changes in other Chapel Hill roads. "I think it's one reasonable way to handle traffic on the west side of campus," Sanders said. "We would like to see it happen in a reasonable amount of time." The University is on record as supporting the -Pittsboro Street Extension, said Gordon Rutherford, director of University Facilities Planning. Prior to the formation of the joint University-Town Committee this summer, the town council had the Pittsboro Street Extension low on its agenda, said council member Julie Andresen. The council voted not to use any of the $3 million raised by bond referendum last year for the extension. ' "This could've stayed on the agenda for 20 years," Andresen said, "but the fact that the University is See EXTENSION page 5 Attempts to reach Tanner and Fordham for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful. Bailey said the tension among members stemmed from confusion about the committee's purpose. At the June 26 meeting, McKinley asked that the committee draw up recommendations to submit to the BOT. But Tanner, chairman of the committee, vetoed the motion, saying the committee was not set up to make recommendations, groups polled last fall were very supportive of the call-in registration system, and he said he feels the University will benefit from the system. "I think student support of the system is strong, but it is very important to have a strong student turnout on Oct. 6 to vote for the referendum," he said. Neil Reimann, chairman of the Finance Committee, said if the drop See DROP-ADD page 2 damaging department morale and endangering both the police and the public. "There is a morale problem that affects the public and affects the students," Edwards said. "WeVe got officers that dont want to speak to each other, and this is the kind of job where you have to depend on each other to save your life." Three officers have left the depart ment because of declining morale, she said. There are now 19 supervisors for 18 officers, the officers said. "We're like Wachovia bank," Bowler said. "We have our own personal supervisor." The personnel department will respond to the grievance by Tuesday. The officers will then decide whether to accept the proposal or to take their case to the Chancellor's Committee, the next step in the grievance procedure.
