Report outlines qualifications
for new university chancellor
By LYDIAN BERNHARDT
Staff Writer
The results of a management audit
of UNC conducted by a team of
educators will help the committee
searching for a new chancellor to
determine his or her ideal character
istics and provide a tentative initial
agenda for the next administration.
The committee is seeking the
successor to Chancellor Christopher
Fordham, who will resign at the end
of June.
The report stressed that the new
chancellor must be prepared to press
for institutional change and assume
a strong leadership role while preserv
ing the University's pleasant, civil,
traditional atmosphere.
According to the report, the new
chancellor should be:
H an educational leader, "someone
who understands higher education in
general and the unique role of major
research institutions in particular";

Women vital to future
off church, speaker says
By SHARON KEBSCHULL
State and National Editor
The historical conflict between
women's rights and the patriarchal
hierarchy of the Christian church
today is the crucial issue for the future
of the church, a feminist theologian
said Monday night.
"We have an institutional hierar
chal structure that's increasingly out
of touch," said Rosemary Radford
Ruether, a professor at the Garrett
Evangelical Theological Seminary.
"There is increasingly a drift apart of
the hierarchy and the community
what the hierarchy's saying is not
making any sense in the experience
of the community."
Speaking to an overflow crowd in
Hanes Art Center, Ruether said
homosexuality, reproductive rights
and the ordination of women are the
three main areas of concern in the
Christian community.
"All Christian conflicts involve
sexuality and the role of women," she
said.
In early Christianity, remaining a
virgin was seen as a free option for
both men and women, she said, and

culture of Chapel Hill and has the
abilities to translate that vision into

psychological strength to make dif

institutional change";
B "an effective internal leader and
external spokesperson";
B a person with strong interper
sonal skills;
B articulate in all situations,
including the political arena; and
B an outstanding leader and effec
tive manager.
The report was prepared by a team
of educators from universities across
the nation who were commissioned
by the Chancellor Search Committee.
The new chancellor should con
sider reorganizing the administrative
structure, reviewing and modifying
the undergraduate curriculum and
reviewing administrators'
performances.
male celibacy was understood as
dissolving sexual power over women.
But by the 4th century, celibacy
was a way to keep priests superior
to the laity, she said. This was taken
to the extent that married priests were
encouraged to discontinue sexual
relations with their wives, removing
the focus of priests as teachers,
Ruether said.
The problem of celibate priests is
apparent in the Roman Catholic
church, she said, because it is esti
mated that 40 percent of the Catholic
clergy are homosexual.
"It is increasingly common for
priests to have a hidden sex life on
the side, either occasional or commit
ted," she said. This creates a reverse
ethic that makes it easier to have
uncommitted relationships, she said.
Homosexuality is also a problem
in Protestant denominations, she
said.
"Clearly, Protestants as well as
Catholics have a system of sexual
ethics that is highly inadequate for
doing justice to gay people," she said.
An anti-contraceptive stance is also
a problem for women's rights, she

The University does not provide
adequate salaries and fringe benefits
for faculty and support staff
members, the report said.
The report also criticized financing
and funding procedures for the
library, and said some academic
programs, such as mathematics,
physics and economics, were below
the University's standards.
The report emphasized that the
next chancellor must make changes
in these areas to keep the University
from losing some of its current status.
The report praised the University
for its nationally-recognized reputa
tion and Fordham for his role in
promoting academic excellence at
UNC.
The new chancellor should con
sider increasing faculty and staff
salaries in the humanities and social
sciences to insure that UNC is able

said. The early church ruled out all
non-reproductive sexuality, so that
even rape was viewed as less immoral
than masturbation, she said, because
rape might result in pregncancy.
But what is valued is not the child
but the direct control over sexuality,
Ruether said, as evidenced by the
recent Vatican position against arti
ficial insemination, even when the
donor is the woman's husband.

Management audit shows
high student satisfaction
By MARK FOLK
Senior Writer
UNC should take steps to maintain
its ranking as a top public university,
according to a report released Mon
day that compiles the results of a
management audit conducted by a
team of nationally-known educators.
The report warned that despite
UNC's high national ranking, the
institution "is falling behind while
coasting on its former glory. Many
believe that if important changes are
not made soon, it will be too late to
catch up."
The management audit, which is
the first ever at a university in North
Carolina, was commissioned by the
Board of Trustees search committee
seeking a replacement for UNC
Chancellor Christopher Fordham.
Fordham announced in August that
he would step down at the end of
June.

Officials say Air Force shutdown
won't affect UNC's Naval ROTC
By LAURA PEAY
Staff Writer
UNC's Naval Reserve Officer
Training Corps (ROTC) program
probably won't be affected by a recent
Department of Defense decision that
forced the closing of UNC's Air Force
ROTC program, Naval ROTC offi
cials said Monday.
Lt. Mark Trembly, naval science
instructor in the Naval ROTC, said
there will be cutbacks, but they will
not drastically affect the program.
"The latest word is that we will
probably take people who are not on
scholarship and make them wait
before they go on active duty," he
said.
The Department of Defense
recently issued an order requesting all
branches of the service to reduce the
number of officers. The Air Force
ROTC unit at UNC is being phased
out, and freshmen and sophomores
with scholarships will have to transfer
or lose their scholarships.
Trembly said students who attend
UNC on a Naval ROTC scholarship
have a commitment to the Navy, and
are commissioned to serve as officers

of six people experienced with higher
education who have no present or
past association with UNC.
Auditors interviewed more than
130 people across the state and within
the University between October 1987
and January 1988 to compile the
report.
James Fisher, president emeritus of
the Council for the Advancement and
Support of Education in Washington,
headed the audit team. He said he
feels the report is an accurate assess
ment of the University's strengths and
weaknesses, and will be useful to the
Chancellor Search Committee.
"This report is a reflection of what
we were told and advised by so many
people," Fisher said. "We went out
and got the opinions of many differ
ent types of people."
The review will also provide a
profile of the ideal characteristics of
the next chancellor and help establish
a tentative agenda for the initial stages
Faculty panel meets
to examine purpose
off athletics committee
By JACKIE DOUGLAS
Staff Writer
An ad hoc committee formed to
review the charge and duties of the
Faculty Athletics Committee met
Monday to listen to faculty and
student concerns about what the role
of the committee should be.
The committee is not related to the
proposed ad hoc committee that, if
created, would study the role of the
athletics department at UNC.
English professor Doris Betts,
chairwoman of the ad hoc committee,
said, "We will recommend to the
Faculty Council, through the agenda
committee on Feb. 26, any changes
we deem advisible in how the Faculty
Athletics Committee is constituted
and what its responsibilities should
be."
Arthur Finn, professor of physiol
ogy and medicine, said after being a
member of the committee from 1973
1976, he clearly saw that the com
mittee had no specific charge nor any
certain duties, and was of no signif
icant importance.
Finn also said that if the committee
was to operate at an advisory capac
ity, there should be broader repre
sentation of the faculty and the
committee should consist of ordinary
members of the faculty.
on active duty upon graduation from
UNC.
College program midshipmen, or
students in Naval ROTC who pay
their own expenses, will be allowed
to choose before graduation to be
commissioned on graduation day
with scholarship students, and then
wait a few months before they go on
active duty, or to leave the Navy with
no obligations, Trembly said.
"This way the Navy will save some
money by not putting some people
to work right away," Trembly said.
"That's probably the worst it's going
to be."
Trembly said that unlike the Air
Force ROTC program, the Navy does
not require an engineering back
ground for a scholarship. This has
allowed the Navy program to remain
strong at UNC.
"This unit has been here since 1942
and has commissioned more officers
than any other school except the
Naval Academy," he said. "This unit
is in no danger of being closed down."
Participants in the Naval ROTC
program say that they are not worried
that the cutbacks will affect them
of the next administration, Fisher
said.
"This is the kind of thing that is
usually necessary in the search for a
new chancellor," Fisher said. "It will
help the search committee decide on
the kind of person to fulfill the
University's needs."
Compared with the more than 600
institutions that Fisher has helped
evaluate over the years, he said that
his audit team's findings at UNC are
very unique.
"We found the UNC students,
alumni and faculty to be very sophis
ticated and committed to their
university," Fisher said. "You don't
usually find this kind of attitude at
most public institutions."
The audit team divided the report
into several categories and made
individual assessments and evalua
tions of each.
See REPORT page 4
"They (the committee members)
should not be offered free tickets to
any athletic event just because they
are on the committee," Finn said.
"But I believe it is useful for the
chancellor and the athletic director
to hear the faculty committee's
advice."
Paul Debreczeny, professor of
Slavic languages, said the committee
should be concerned with admission
standards of athletes and defining
what the University expects of ath
letes academically.
Debreczeny said the committee
should be partially elected.
"The committee seems to be
stacked with faculty members who
share the same ideas as the athletic
director," Debreczany said. "The
academic side of campus must be
represented."
Debreczeny also said the commit
tee should be charged with investi
gating the Educational Foundation.
"The Rams Club should not be
called the Educational Foundation if
it doesn't help the education of UNC
students," he said. "If it is an athletic
foundation, call it an athletic
foundation."

directly.
"The Air Force has been commis
sioning too many officers for a long
time," said Carlton Blount, a Naval
ROTC sophomore from Fayetteville.
"I kind of saw it coming. I don't worry
about it happening to the Navy. But
it's going to affect my program
because the unit is getting smaller and
smaller because they are giving away
less scholarships."
