4The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, January 28, 1988 Spangler, 'students address issmes; in Tar Heel Tabletalk fforam' . By LYNNE McCLINTOCK Staff Writer UNC-system President CD. Spangler joined a group of students "to discuss student concerns ranging from student activism to the chan cellor search Wednesday night in Lenoir Hall. Spangler and about 20 students participated in the discussion, part of Hhe Tar Heel Tabletalk Series spon sored by the senior class and Carolina ;Dining Services. Discussion topics included the chancellor selection process, former .head football coach Dick Crum's resignation, on-campus recruiting by he CIA, drop-add improvements and tuition increases. ; Spangler said that he was not aware of a front-runner in the candidates for the position of UNC chancellor. The selection of a new chancellor is "probably the most important thing that will be decided at this University in the next five years," he said. "The process should take place by the time Chancellor Fordham leaves," Spangler said. Fordham will leave in June. A UNC Board of Trustees com mittee will recommend at least two candidates to fill the position. Spangler said he expects to receive the recommendations within 90 days. Spangler said at that time he can either choose one of the recom mended candidates or ask the com mittee to continue their search. The Board of Governors will then vote on Spangler's recommendation for the next chancellor. When a student asked Spangler to discuss Crum's resignation, he responded, "The Crum issue received a great deal more attention than it merited. "The chancellor made the decision, not the Rams Club," Spangler said. "They just foot the bill." He said Rams Club members "are important people in the University because they are alumni, not because of their financial support." Representatives from the CIA Action Committee asked Spangler if the University would take a position on allowing the CIA to recruit students on campus for jobs. "We are not going to remove from the University everything that people don't like," Spangler said. "I think the University will continue to permit people who have a legal right to come on campus." The University will listen to com plaints from students but will have to consider the rights of all students. "The University would take the position that you have the freedom of speech, but not the freedom to break the law." Students said the University should install a computerized drop-add system to make the drop-add process more efficient. Spangler said, "In August, I dropped by Woollen Gym to see what it (drop-add) was like, and it was identical to how it was when I was here in 1952." Spangler told students that a phone-in system would soon be installed. But he added, "I must say, I will miss the traditional drop-add because it is a place to meet and see people." Students also raised concerns about increases in out-of-state tuition. Spangler said the tuition was increased because of an N.C. state law requiring out-of-state tuition costs to be comparable to other similar state supported universities. Each student in the university system costs the state approximately $10,000 a year, Spangler said. Out-of-state students pay $4,000, and N.C. taxpayers pay the difference, he said. Steamed over ak condffionin! By BRIAN McCOLLUM Staff Writer A number of students have protested the housing department's recently-announced decision to install air-conditioning units in eight campus residence halls, citing expense, appearance, and lack of resident input on the decision as objections. Jeanine Williamson, a freshman resident of Mclver, said 30 students in Alderman and Mclver Resi dence Halls signed a petition expressing objections to the deci sion after they received memos announcing the plan earlier this week. "We decided to get signatures on a statement that objected to the fact that air conditioning would raise rates and detract from the build ings," she said. Williamson said she attended a STOW Residence Area govern ment meeting Monday night attended by Wayne Kuncl, director of University housing, to gather more facts about the plan. STOW government members will conduct a survey of Alderman and Mclver residents next week to assess student response to the air conditioning plan, Williamson said. Housing officials announced plans Monday to begin installing window air-conditioning units this spring in Scott College and Henderson College Residence Area dormitories, as well as Alderman and Mclver Residence Halls. Kuncl estimated the total cost for purchasing and installing the equipment at $255,000. Rental rates for rooms in the eight dor mitories will increase by $105 per semester to pay for the units. Kuncl said the decision to install the air conditioners has received general support from the students affected, but he will pay attention to the results of next week's Alderman-Mclver poll. Students in the affected dormi tories said Wednesday they have mixed reactions to the plan. "The individual air-conditioning units will ruin the facade of Alder man and Mclver," said Alderman resident Caroline Kincaid. "Chapel Hill's a town full of history, and we need to preserve as much as we can." Vic Simpson of Teague Resi dence Hall said he doesn't think looks matter in the long run. "Maybe it's just me, but I'd be willing to sacrifice some of Teague's 'Better Homes and Gardens' look to get a break from the purgatory that was August," he said. Brian Sipe, Scott College pres ident, expressed concern about the housing department's handling of the entire process. In a letter sent to Kuncl last Friday, Sipe wrote that housing officials made the final decision about air conditioning in December before fully considering student concerns. Sipe said that officials had agreed to give Scott College government members time to review the proposal and would postpone their decision until Jan. 1. But officials signed an equip ment purchase order in mid December, Sipe said. "The basic problem is that they stepped over the governments," he said. "Administrators always underestimate student government." Kuncl said he made no promises about waiting, and was forced to make the decision in December because of ordering and scheduling demands.

Renwick resigned his position as associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in early January to accept a job at Fayetteville State University. No replacement has been named. A committee of about 10 students from student groups like the Carolina Indian Circle and the Campus Y has been formed to inform administrators Concert of student opinion, Wilton Hyman, BSM vice president, said. Committee members and BSM leaders will meet weekly with Gillian Cell, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who is responsible for finding Renwick's replacement, Hyman said. "We know what type of person needs to fill the office, and in what capacity," Hyman said. "Things are uncertain about the office now, and we hope to overcome the uncertainty with student input." The person who fills the office needs to be familiar with the office and with minority students, Hyman said. Renwick was also in charge of an academic advising program for minority students. "The office is like a second home to minority students with academic problems now, so the next person to take over has to be concerned with minority academics and the problems minorities might face," he said. "Big changes in the office might result in students feeling isolated and unwelcome." The minority advising office should be independent of other offices on campus, BSM president Kenneth Perry said. "None of the minority services currently being offered by the office will change, as far as I know," Perry, said. i Richard White, a BSM member in charge of advising minority students : last year, said, "The least 111 settle for as a black student is to keep the office as it is and not change it into: something black students don't recognize." The BSM and the student commit-; tee has gathered information on how; much longer the position will be; vacant, Hyman said. i "The situation's opening up, but; also getting difficult to keep up with,"; he said. "We hope our participation; will speed up the (selection) process."; i i from page 1 in the aisles and around the concourse for tonight's expected crowd of 12,000. "Fortunately, the crowds here have been very easy to handle and coop erative, so we really haven't had any major problems," he said.

Also, a large degree of the responsibility goes to the people who attend our shows." If a fan becomes disruptive and the usher can't handle the situation, a police officer is then called to the scene. Paul Atherton of the Orange County Sheriffs Office said security for special events such as a concert is coordinated through the Chapel Hill Police Department. "Our office usually provides five or six deputies for basic security duties, such as directing traffic and watching for scalpers as well as patrolling inside the gates," he said. Chapel Hill Police Department planner Jane Cousins said that approximately 35 officers will be on duty during the concert. a full set of acrijlic nails Call for an appointment 968-3377 fimsse; Elam's Plaza "Illegal drinking and drugs are our two biggest problems," Cousins said. "But the state Alcohol Law Enforce ment Agency does the majority of the drug and alcohol arrests." Cousins said the police work mainly on crowd control. "We want to keep things in control, but if an officer sees someone snorting up, , theyH handle it," she said. Porreca said, "The more we see of illegal drugs and alcohol, the more interested we are in stopping it."

She approached former Stu dent Body President Bryan Hassel with the idea and was appointed chairwoman of the committee. "Not only are tutors often hard to find, but they are also very expen sive," Kashani-Sabet said. "I felt that there was definitely a need for a program like this one." Students interested in tutoring positions should pick up an applica tion before Feb. 19 in the Student Government office (Suite C of Stu dent Union) or at the Union desk.
