New parking lot proposed for local airport
By MARK FOLK
Staff Writer
University officials are considering
a $484,800 proposal for a 500-space
parking lot at the Horace Williams
airport on Estes Drive.
The lot was proposed to make up
for the expected loss of about 500
parking spaces during construction of
a parking deck near Craige Residence
Hall.
The budget for the parking lot was
unanimously approved by the Board
of Governors last week.
But construction cannot begin until
the proposal is accepted by both the

The education of black high school
students still suffers locally because
of the "separate but equal" doctrine
that segregated schools as recently as
1967, said the home school coordi
nator for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City School system.
Hilliard Caldwell spoke Monday at
a forum on race relations in local
schools. The forum was part of the
Human Rights Week activities spon
sored by the Campus Y and the
Carolina Union in conjunction with
other campus groups. Caldwell and

many others, had come to the Uni

nothing more nor less than a chance
to work his way through.'
"He had written the President and
had been assured that a number of
students earned their board by
waiting on the tables at the Commons
Hall, and that other employment
might be secured. He was here on
strength of that assurance, and when
the Board of Trustees. The proposal
is expected to be presented to both
groups in early December.
"We have been concerned with the
parking problem on this campus for
some time now," Gordon Rutherford,
facilities planning and design direc
tor, said Monday. "This proposal is
designed to give us an alternative to
the parking problem."
Rutherford said about 500 addi
tional parking spaces would be
created by the lot. If officials approve
the project, he said construction on
the lot would begin this spring.
"We feel that the airport is a good
place to build a parking lot," Ruther
of the school board, discussed the
history of black education in the
community and where race relations
now stand in the schools.
"We are spending millions and
millions of dollars to educate our
children, and yet we dont see ade
quate results," Hilliard Caldwell said.
"We are not yet at the place where
we can accept people simply for who
they are."

place. Together with 25 other student
waiters, he dons a white apron three
times a day and serves a table for
his board."
This type of work, once called self
help, evolved into today's work-study
program, which provided part-time
employment to 1,107 UNC students
in the academic year 1986-87.
But work-study is just a small part
of the student financial aid available
at UNC's student aid office. About
35 percent of UNC students receive
some form of student financial aid.
ford said. "If everything goes as
planned, it should be ready for use
in the fall."
John Gardner, transportation
planner, said the need for the lot
resulted from the loss of an estimated
500 parking spaces during the 12- to
18-month construction on a $12.2
million parking deck near Craige
Residence Hall. Construction on the
deck is expected to begin early next
summer.
"The proposal for this lot is
basically a response to the fact that
we're going to need somewhere to put
the students who would normally
park in Craige," Gardner said.
affluent, academic communities in
North Carolina, still has some of the
same problems we started out with."
Students in the system with a 3.0
grade point average are listed on the
honor roll, but Hilliard Caldwell said
a breakdown of honor roll students
is startling.
Asians, Hispanics and other
minorities in the schools perform on
a relatively equal basis with other
students. But black students listed on
the honor roll in the junior high can
be "counted on one hand." Only 20
to 25 black students are consistently
listed at the high school, he said.

The structure of the student aid
program at UNC has remained
basically the same from its start in
the late 1800s. Today, there are four
forms of student aid scholarships,
grants, loans and work-study jobs.
Grants, a form of federally-funded
student aid, were established in the
1950s.
More than $1.6 million was dis
tributed by the UNC Office of
Student Aid in the 1965-66 academic
year, and the number had skyrock
eted to $23.6 million by the 1986-87
academic year. These amounts are the
totals of awards made in the areas
"Besides the new lot, we're also
planning to set up about 250 tem
porary spaces in the soon-to-be
ambulatory center for these
students."
The ambulatory center is going to
be built near North Carolina Memor
ial Hospital, on the corner of Mason
Farm Road and Columbia Street.
Officials had originally planned to use
that area for parking while the deck
near Craige was being built.
However, when hospital officials
announced that construction on the
center would begin before the Craige

teachers are afraid of being accused
of racial discrimination. "There are
a lot of white teachers afraid to call
down black students because they are
intimidated," he said. "And a lot of
black teachers who are intimidated
to call down white students."
Hilliard Caldwell said the presence
of the University has influenced the
local schools in a positive way. Test

state, he said, although black stu

A disclaimer on the back of tickets
to some Smith Center events denying
entry to people who do not consent
to a "reasonable" search violates the
Fourth Amendment, according to
legal experts.
The disclaimer on the back of
tickets issued by Ticketron states in
very small print: "You are admitted
on the condition and by your use of
this ticket, you consent to a reaso
nable search for alcohol, drugs or
weapons . .
The Fourth Amendment forbids
unreasonable search and seizure of
American citizens and legal aliens.
William Simpson, staff attorney
for the North Carolina Civil Liberties
Union (NCCLU), said the disclaimer
and the entry policy are clearly
unconstitutional.
"You can't condition the right to
go into a public place on the waiver
of your Fourth Amendment rights,"
Simpson said. "Without individual
ized suspicion, you can't search
anyone."
Daniel Pollitt, UNC Kenan pro
fessor of law, said the legality of the
jentry policy hinges on Smith Center's
"status as a publicly funded facility.
"What they're saying is that you
have to waive your Fourth Amend
ment right to enter a public place,"
Pollitt said.
He compared this to requiring
people to submit to a search before
they entered UNC's campus. Because
the University is state-supported,
officials must have reasonable suspi-
of grants, scholarships, loans and
work-study jobs.
According to Eleanor Morris,
director of student aid at UNC, the
average amount of financial aid
students receive is $3,383 per year.
One general trend in student aid,
Morris said, is the increasing number
of students who use loans instead of
work-study programs to fund their
college educations.
"Students prefer to borrow than to
work," she said. "It's easier to borrow
than to work." UNC has experienced
a definite decrease in students taking

Speakers say racism
is 6 very muich alive5
By STEPHANIE MARSHALL
Staff Writer
During the 1980s, racism has
gone underground, Audreye
Johnson, a UNC professor of
social work, said Monday during
a discussion of "Civil Rights Then
and Now."
Johnson and Lewis Lipsitz,
professor of political science,
spoke to about 30 students in the
Student Union as part of Human
Rights Week, sponsored by the
Campus Y.
"The more things change, the
more they stay the same," Johnson
said.
Recent events, such as the
abolishment of the Martin Luther
King holiday in Arizona and this
summer's Ku Klux Klan marches
in North Carolina, indicate that
racism is still very much alive,
Johnson said.
"1986 and 1987 have revived the
theme of 'deja vu,' " she said.
Many young people are not
aware of the problem of racial
inequality, because they have been
protected from the issue, Johnson
said.
"Most black students don't
know what it was like to see the
poicy
9
cion to deny anyone entry to the
Smith Center. The situation would
be different at Duke's Cameron
Indoor Stadium, Pollitt said, because
it is a private institution.
Smith Center officials said they
operate under an entry policy based
on the disclaimer.
"Smith Center policy is not to
body-search people," said Deana
Nail, Smith Center public relations
director. "But if someone brings in
something that looks suspicious, well
ask them to show us their bag, and
if they wont then well say, 'you can't
come in.' "
The policy is not unique to the
Smith Center, Nail said.
"This is not only Smith Center, this
is a Ticketron ticket," she said. "This
is not something that Smith Center
has done. We are very, very civil
liberties minded."
Willie Scroggs, Smith Center
director of operations, said the entry
policy exists for the safety of Smith
Center patrons.
"We're trying to keep everybody
safe without accusing everybody of
being criminals or lawbreakers," he
said. "Our goal is to make this a very
safe and enjoyable place to come.",
Steve Camp, Smith Center direc
tor, was out of town Monday and
could not be reached for comment.
Stephanie Ahlschwede (Dist. 14),
student affairs committee chairwo
man, said that she is in the process
of forming a Student Congress bill
to change the entry policy and remove

but the student aid office cannot point
to any one reason.
"Work-study has decreased
because of an accumulation of
things," Morris said. Students who
don't want to work or who cany
heavy course loads could have con
tributed to the decrease, she said.
"Aid is intended to meet a student's
need," Morris said. A student's need
is determined by using a formula to
calculate a family's ability to pay for
a child's college education. The
University's student aid office tries to

signs over water fountains separ
ating blacks from whites," she
said. "These students have been
shielded."
Another problem is most people
don't discuss racial issues, John
son said.
"It is almost a taboo subject, like
sex. We must keep talking about
the issues of race, gender, and
economics," she said.
Lipsitz said he didn't know
many black people while growing
up in Brooklyn. When he went to
college, he said, he developed an
awareness of racial issues.
"I didn't appreciate the human
meaning of segregation, although
I had believed it to be wrong," he
said. "Like many people, I . went
through a period of
'consciousness-raising.' "
As a professor at UNC during
the 1960s, Lipsitz became active
in the civil rights movement, he
said.
He stood in picket lines and
gave talks supporting black
workers in Lenoir Hall, who went
on strike because they were not
receiving promotions or overtime
