Although the task force report, issued in June 1987, criticized the organization and administration of the school, the school's dean, Frank Brown, was reappointed to a three year term in January by University Provost Samuel Williamson. The task force was made up of faculty members at the School of Education and from other liberal arts schools within UNC. The report : - -"Co.- . 4 '4. 'SwT 1 Crossing paths :.:;:'SS,,' - - i jr.

The top two finishers in last Tuesday's races for student body president, Daily Tar Heel editor, Residence Hall Association president and senior class president, vice president and treasurer will compete in the runoff, said Julie Miller, Elections Board chair. Whim recommended changes in the organ ization of the school and in the leadership role of the dean. "The committee recommends that the dean of the school be active and aggressive in articulating a vision for the school that sets priorities, inspires excellence, and develops collegiality." The report also recommended that the dean provide leadership in faculty research and development activities and develop relationships with alumni. David Lillie, School of Education faculty chairman, said the report was not a direct attack on Brown, the school's present dean.

A warrant for Futrell's arrest was filed by Delta Sigma Phi's national headquarters in Indianapolis, Ind., and Chapel Hill police made the arrest Thursday. Attempts to reach Delta Sigma Phi officials at the fraternity's national office Monday were unsuccessful. According to the warrant, the money was allegedly embezzled on Oct. 1, 1987, and the property was The runoffs were made necessary because no candidate for those offices received 50 percent of the vote as required by election bylaws.

But Lillie said he thought faculty members disagreed about Brown's ability to meet the leadership require ments necessary to guide the school. "IVe talked to the majority of the faculty, and I'd say it's probably a split down the middle (in support of Brown). "Certainly there are differences about what the mission of the school should be and differences in opinion about the capabilities of the leader ship," Lillie said. Brown said Monday he feels positively about the report's recom mendations, considering the limita nit?- fWi.lr "" 1 ,iU"J1 '""'"Vs4l " iff Si -. . of Hanes Hall between classes. Monday's warm temperatures brought students out to enjoy the sunshine. Last year council members also said they were concerned that the event caused parking, litter and vandalism problems and lacked adequate restroom facilities and security for surrounding areas. Burnout organizers began working with town staff last fall to address the major concerns about an outdoor event held at the Finley Road fra ternity house. Specific plans have been worked out for parking and allegedly obtained on March 2, 1987. Futrell was Delta Sigma Phi president from March 1987 to Jan uary 1988, current president David Washburn said Monday. Futrell was released on $6,000 unsecured bond Thursday and made his first court appearance Friday. A probable cause hearing is set for March 9.

Miller said she expects about 15 20 percent of students to vote in today's election, as opposed to the 23 percent who voted last Tuesday. "There are fewer candidates, and the CGLA issue (referendum) isn't on the ballot," she said. "And I think a lot of people don't even realize there's a runoff election." Miller said she does not think the runoff system gives second-place exist because I r- f" i n n'm i r ' i" i I i ' II i"ifi ar Chapel Hill, North Carolina tions on the school's funds and faculty size. Brown also said he does not feel the report was a direct attack on the school's present leadership because the provost was reviewing other professional schools at UNC at the same time. Brown said he does not feel a lack of faculty support for his administration. "I get a feeling of support, consid ering we've been embroiled in a change situation for the past two years," Brown said.

Jay Mahoney, Pi Kappa Phi president and Burnout chairman, said the organizers gained support from the Oaks Homeowners Association and the Highland Woods Homeowners Association.

"There have been a myriad of candidates that have been narrowed down to two front-runners," she said. "It's a primary system, in a way."

Tyndall Harris, president of the School of Education's graduate student association, said, "It seems interesting they'd reappoint the dean when he is not as strong a leader as the school needs. "When you reappoint the people who are running the school, it shows you approve of what has been going on within the school," Harris said. Ralph Wileman, a professor in the education school, said he knew of no priorities Brown had set for the school. Wileman also said he feels there was a split in faculty support of the dean.

In fact I know CIA omieells m-c&inflipuiis niniteffvnews By LYDIAN BERNHARDT Staff Writer The CIA has canceled its recruiting session scheduled at the UNC School of Law Tuesday and has decided not to recruit on campus this semester, Donald Boulton, dean of student affairs, said Monday. The CIA had planned to interview tomorrow at the law school. Instead, the interviews will be conducted at an off-campus location, Boulton said. The cancellation was due in part to the protests of members of the CIA Action Committee, some of whom have been fasting to protest the recruitment, Boulton said. But the cancellation was not a result of intervention by University adminis trators, he said. Chancellor Christopher Fordham said Sunday that he did not believe it would be appropriate to cancel the CIA visit because it would comprom ise the freedom of the campus. "It is the business of the chancellor to protect liberty and not to com promise it," Fordham said. "I am not judging the people who come here." have reviewed the plans for Burnout and said they do not oppose the event. The golf course sponsors an annual tournament on the same Friday as the Burnout event, but Burnout organizers have delayed the party's proposed starting time in order to accommodate the golf tournament. The fraternity has also made plans to have traffic and parking monitored on roads running through the golf course. UNC faculty criticize system's drug policy By MARK FOLK Senior Writer The Faculty Council passed a resolution Friday condemning the Board of Governors system-wide drug policy for being too punitive. The penalties outlined in the BOG system-wide drug policy, adopted in January, limit the power of campus-level administra tors, the resolution said. Craig Calhoun, associate pro fessor of sociology and author of the faculty resolution, said he thinks the policy should be more educational. "This policy promotes punish ment and retribution instead of educational needs," Calhoun said. "It also reduces the authqrity that administrators should have." The BOG policy, which affects all 16 campuses in the UNC system, calls on each university to develop its own drug policy, subject to minimum standards. The minimum standards out it.

He wants us to be happy and he wants the provost to happy. Those objectives are at odds. "Something has to give, and we need a leader to make things give. They wish the School of Education would get its act together. If the dean can do that, (that's) anybody's guess." The report recommended changing the mission of the school and decreas ing the number of graduate students enrolled in the school.

CIA recruiters called Kenneth Broun, dean of the School of Law, late Friday afternoon to cancel their visit, Boulton said. Because Broun was sick on Friday, no one was told about the call until today when Broun told Boulton, he said. "I don't know for a fact why they were motivated to change their minds, but usually when there have been anti-CIA protests on campus they decide to interview off campus," Boulton said. The CIA made the decision to interview off campus independently without University influence despite the requests of the fasters, Boulton said. "The University is never in a position to ban any legitimate organ izations from coming," he said. "I admire and respect their (the fasters1) sincerity and deep feelings, but at the See CIA page 8 Bnrnoint Mahoney said that Highway 54 and Finley Road will be roped off to control the traffic during the party.

The minimum penalty for stu dents and employees caught traf ficking Schedule III or IV drugs, like marijuana or codeine, is probation for a period to be decided depending on each case. The council's resolution also claims the policy neglects "the fact that the campus already had an effective and appropriate drug policy."
