UNC Provost Samuel Williamson
will not be considered for the position
of chancellor, The Chapel Hill
Newspaper reported Monday, and
the two candidates being considered
by the Board of Trustees are not from
within the UNC administration.
In a special meeting of the board
last Friday, BOT chairman Robert
Eubanks presented UNC-system
President CD. Spangler with the
names of at least two candidates, the
newspaper said, including one from
New York University in Manhattan
and one from Drew University in
Madison, N.J. The candidates visited
Chapel Hill last week.
Williamson was notified of the
board's decision on Friday after the
meeting.
"Mr. Eubanks informed me on
Friday my name would not be
forwarded to the president," William
son told The Chapel Hill Newspaper.
"I'm disappointed for myself and for
the University."

they have faith in the University's
ability to find other jobs for them if
the laundry should close.

Society must work to preserve
a sense of wonder and curiosity
to keep American culture interest

Dillon, an anthropologist and

studies at the Smithsonian Insti

Symposium.

Albert Einstein was a genius
because he kept alive his sense of
wonder, Dillon said.
"Einstein certainly never lost his
curiosity," he said. "He had a great
sense of playfulness and inventive
ness and was a child who never
stopped playing."
Learning is a continual process
that doesn't end with the comple
tion of a formal education, he said.
Institutions like fraternities,
sororities and sidewalk cafes
encourage people to brainstorm
and take risks.
"Wondering people take risks
and aren't afraid of being wrong,"
he said. "They take a chance
without knowing the outcome."

"This place has been going down

Other workers complained of labor

Chapel Hill's growing reputation as
an excellent host for amateur athletic
events can have great benefits for
local businesses, a Chapel Hill
Carrboro Chamber of Commerce
official said.
Sherri Powell, manager of small
business and marketing for the
chamber of commerce, said amateur
athletic events provide tremendous
revenue to the town. According to
a report by the chamber, visitors to
Chapel Hill in 1985 brought in more
than $59 million dollars.
"Amateur athletic events attract a
large number of those visitors,"
Powell said. Last summer's U.S.
Olympic Festival, for example, con
tributed $35 million of directly
measurable revenue to Chapel Hill.
Saturday, UNC's Smith Center
and Carmichael Auditorium will host
the N.C. high school basketball
championships. Later in May, par
ticipants in the Special Olympics and
Senior Citizen games will come to
Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill is already the primary
host for amateur athletic champion
ships for North Carolina, but now
its facilities attract national interest.
The NCAA basketball tournament
and Olympic Festival illustrate the

sion," he said in a statement released
last week.

in changing the contract," Stokes
said. "Durham County General

national respect that Chapel Hill
enjoys.
During these events, Chapel Hill
businesses benefit not only from
increased sales, but also from Chapel
Hill's high visibility, Powell said.
"When people from across the state
see that Chapel Hill is home to all
these athletic events, that encourages
even greater participation and more
economic incentives," she said.
The chamber is stressing the eco
nomic importance of amateur athlet
ics to encourage businesses to support
later competitions, Powell said.
In an October resolution, the
chamber recognized "the importance
of amateur athletics on the economic
well-being of the community," and
established a committee to encourage
community and business support.
Moyer Smith, executive vice pres
ident of the Educational Foundation,
and Charlie Adams, the director of
the North Carolina High School
Athletic Association, are also work
ing together to study the relationship
between amateur athletics and
business.
The increased visibility of Chapel
Hill as the primary home for amateur
athletics in North Carolina is good
for the community and the Univer
sity, Smith said.

Shetley said he did not foresee any
hope of replacing the hospital's

who otherwise might not have ever
visited the campus," he said.
According to some approxima
tions, Chapel Hill receives $6 million
to $10 million in revenue from UNC's
football season alone, Smith said.
"What we need to do now is have
the business get involved in these
events and in turn give back some
of what they are getting in increased
sales," he said.
Adams said revenue from the 28
high school sports tournaments held
in Chapel Hill each year are also
overlooked for the revenue they
generate.
"Between 3,000 and 4,000 students
participate in these events and that
brings a ton of people to Chapel Hill,"
Adams said. "And these people are
staying in hotels, shopping in the
stores and eating in the restaurants."
The economic impact of high
school athletics is far greater than
most people realize, he said. "I don't
think it has been brought to light just
how much money is being brought
into Chapel Hill and Orange
County."
Because of this Saturday's high
