School of Education faculty are
questioning the reasons behind some
suggestions made in a report recom
mending organizational changes in
the school.
The faculty are planning their next
step in proposing alternatives to the
report's recommendations.
"We essentially want permission to
do curriculum planning,'' said Jim
Morrison, School of Education
professor. "Right now it's in the
bottom of a canyon somewhere."

Administrators and student leaders
expressed concern Thursday about
the actions of several students who
confronted a CIA recruiter on Tues
day and caused the cancellation of
interviews of 12 UNC law students.
Many law students also voiced
objections to law school officials'
handling of the situation.
Dan Bishop, a first-year law stu
dent from Charlotte, said a vast
majority of law students were "infur
iated" that law school administrators
accepted the CIA's request for off
campus interviews.
"There's a very broad base of
opinion that these protesters
shouldn't have been allowed to
intimidate the law school administra
tion," he said.
Bishop said law school officials
were obligated to provide a "con
trolled s:tuation" for the interviews

UNC grouip discusses peace
proposals for Central America
By AMY WINSLOW
Staff Writer
As part of the Association of
International Students' week-long
"Working for Peace" series, UNC
students from Central America
discussed possibilities for peace in
their troubled homelands Thurs
day afternoon in the Student
Union.
The concepts of self
determination, non-intervention
and democracy are some of the
most important principles of the
peace process in Central America,
the students agreed.
"These three issues are key to any
peace plans coming out of Central
America," said Carlos Cerezo, a
political science graduate student
who grew up in Panama.
In 1983, four Latin American
countries met in an area of Panama
called Contadora to work on a
peaceful solution in Central Amer
for their programs, Morrison said.
The faculty responded to the
report's recommendation to reduce
the number of degree programs with
proposals to rework the programs,
Morrison said. But the proposals
have been ignored, he said.
"The signals that are being given
to the faculty by the administration
are not clear-cut," Morrison said.
Brown was not available for com
ment Thursday.
Charles Bishop, special assistant to
the provost and liaison to help Brown
in the reorganization of the school,
said things were moving along
smoothly.
"The dean is consulting with
faculty concerning appropriate
ion
to keep the protesters from interfering
as they did Tuesday.
"It's not a surprise to me the
protesters would do that," he said.
"What disappoints me is that the
administration caved in to the intim
idation by ceding to the CIA's request
to move off campus."
Bishop said that Ronald Link,
acting dean of the law school, made
a mistake by giving in to the
protesters.
"He set a bad precedent by letting
it be known that protest groups could
disrupt the placement process in the
law school," Bishop said. "The main
thing is that they (the CIA) should
have been able to stay on campus."
The protesters, who included
members of the CIA Action Com
mittee (CIAAC), poured a red liquid
in front of the CIA recruiter's room
at the University Inn before following
him out of the hotel. Witnesses said

events, Powell said.
"We don't want businesses to take
these things for granted," she said.
"We want to make them aware that
if we lose these activities we could
lose quite a bit of revenue."
According to the resolution creat
ing the committee, visitors spent
nearly $59 million in Orange County
in 1985. Amateur athletic events
attract a large number of these
visitors, the resolution said.
This is especially true about the
high school events hosted by Chapel
ica, said Juan Valiente, a computer
science graduate student from El
Salvador.
The Contadora Support Group,
formed in 1985, saw four more
countries trying to achieve peace
and led to "one of the most
important parts of the peace pro
cess" in 1986, Valiente said.
Self-determination is the ability
of each country to choose its own
form of social and political organ
ization, he said, and non
intervention stipulates that the
countries will not try to influence
each other.
But the notion of democracy is
not defined in any of the peace
proposals, Cerezo said.
Where most Americans see
democracy as "the right to enjoy
the wealth of your nation," he said,
most Central Americans conceive
of democracy as the redistribution
of power and resources.
Everything has an end,
actions to review and update some
programs," Bishop said. "Requests
have gone out to revise the
programs."
Provost Samuel Williamson said
conclusions needed to be reached
quickly so the school could consol
idate and move on.
"We need to make sure everybody
knows what the faculty has already
agreed upon and address the remain
ing problem areas and hope to reach
some conclusions," Williamson said.
The anger expressed by faculty
members was a response to program
ming areas where problems have not
yet been discussed, Williamson said.
Progress is being made in other
program areas following the sugges

director of the North Carolina High
School Athletic Association.
"There are 28 classified champion
ships held on this campus in eight
sports," Adams said. "We may use
the facilities more than Carolina
does."
But Chapel Hill's superior athletic
facilities are often overshadowed by
a lack of general support from the
business community, Adams said.

In Nicaragua, for example, 73
percent of the land is allocated to
7 percent of the farms, he said.
"That is not democracy," Cerezo
said. "Democracy and liberation go
hand in hand."
The Guatemala Accord, involv
ing five Central American coun
tries, was another attempt at peace
but was really just "a procedure,"
Valiente said.
It called for conciliation among
the Central American countries
and arms negotiations with rebels,
he said.
As a follow-up to the accord, a
commission was formed in January
1988 to rank the Central American
countries in terms of the most
peaceful and most democratic,
Valiente said. Costa Rica led the
list followed by Nicaragua, Gua
temala, El Salvador and Honduras.

Tyndall Harris, president of the
School of Education Graduate Stu
dents Association, said that in plan
ning the next step in the course of
action, the issue was leadership.
"Who is providing leadership?"
Harris said. "Is it the provost, is it
Dr. Bishop or is it Dean Brown?
What is going on here?"
Harris said the task force report
represented the interests of the
provost.
"He's the one who wanted it written
the way that it was. The report came
out the way it did because the provost
wanted it that way," Harris said.
Williamson denied he had any
preconceived ideas of the recommen

Representatives from 16 univer
sities in the UNC system will hold
a convention in early April to work
on increasing student involvement in
N.C. state government.
The MOVE 'SS convention, spon
sored by the UNC Association of
Student Governments (ASG), is
scheduled for April 8 in Research
Triangle Park, said Brian Bailey,
ASG president.
Student representatives will partic
ipate in seminars on how to tackle
student-oriented issues at the state
government level. ASG will also host
several speakers, possibly N.C. Lt.
Gov. Bob Jordan, Bailey said.
One of the main goals of MOVE
'88, which stands for "Motivate,
Organize, Visualize, Educate," is to
recruit students from outside the
campus student governments to
increase contact among the campuses
dations the report should have made.
"I was gone four months during
the time when the report was being
conducted," Williamson said.
However, Williamson did say he
had been skeptical of adult education
programs before the report was
conducted, and that he had made his
skepticism clear.
Jill Fitzgerald, School of Educa
tion associate professor and member
of the task force, wrote a minority
report disagreeing with some of the
recommendations in the report.
"I find myself bewildered about
how we arrived at some of those
conclusions (in the report)," Fitz
gerald said.

measurable economic impact was
generated in this area from the
Olympic Festival," Carrow said.
And with some of the finest
facilities in the world, the chances for
future events being held here are good
if the business community lends its
support, he said.
There is already a great deal of
support and interest in University
athletics, and the economic impact
from these events is obvious, said
Moyer Smith, executive director of
the Educational Foundation.

Bailey said.
MOVE organizers also want to
build students' voice in decisions
made at the state level, Bailey said.
The ASG was first established
under William Friday to link the 16
campuses to the General Administra
tion and the state and federal govern
ments, Bailey said.
But campus student government
leaders are so hindered by dealing
with day-to-day campus issues that
they cannot attend to issues at the
state level effectively.
"It's too much to run an organ
ization at the state level when all the
organizers are busy as bees dealing
with campus issues," Bailey said.
"Right now, 16 student body pres
idents are running around on their
own campuses, which makes it hard
to get together and talk."
Bailey said he envisions a new state-

that the task force report was not
based on specific data, Williamson
said the task force believed it had
adequate information.
"Not everybody will be happy
regardless of how much data was
brought forth," he said.
Bishop said the report is generally
regarded as accurate.
"The report brings the school's
resources in line with its demands,"
he said. "We just need to clarify the
changes that need to be made."
The recommendations made in the
report will help the School of Edu

leaders. "We will provide you with
a return on your investment."
New UNC football coach Mack
Brown also encouraged businesses to
continue to support University
athletics.
"Sometimes we take you for

Brown said. "We need to reach out

more diverse group of students.
The group should recruit students
from outside student government
organizations to help generate new
ideas, he said.
ASG deals with the General
Administration on such issues as drug
policies, out-of-state admission pol
icies and tuition hikes, he said. ASG
also gives students a voice in national
issues like federal financial aid and
the ROTC program pullout.
"One primary purpose of MOVE
is preparation for the future," Bailey
said.
MOVE will help new student
leaders make a smooth transition into
their new offices, Bailey said.
"MOVE is valuable in terms of
making a good transition, getting
people involved, and making students
aware of important issues on the state
level," he said.
