The Daily Tar HeelMonday, October 31, 19885 5 Report!: ca r increase oo black edycatdirs at Hairvard n n he said in a recent telephone inter view. "We wanted to put the problems of affirmative action in a context that would spark discussion instead of boredom." This two-year affirmative action plan puts the issue back in the forefront, he said. "It is our legacy as black Americans that we continue to produce black scholars," he said. But administrators disagree with the association on the goals of the report. 3 "We certainly are pleased that the a black faculty and administrators desire to work with the administra- J tion on these matters," said Ronald b Quincy, associate vice-president of.) Harvard. The groups have mutual 't objectives, he said. i Harvard has established a five-year plan to increase the number of blacks on its faculty, but the university does By KAREN DUNN Staff Writer Because Harvard University is such a prestigious institution, it is "embar rassing and unfortunate" that only 3 percent of its faculty and administra tors are black, said Lawrence Wat son, assistant dean for academic administration at the graduate school o design. .Watson is co-chairman of the Association of Black Faculty and Administrators at Harvard. The group released a report last week calling for the percentage of black faculty members to be raised to at least 10 percent. As of the spring of 1988, only 17 out of the 957, or 1.8 percent, of the tenured faculty members at Harvard were black, according to the report. Twenty-six blacks, or 1.1 percent, were among the 2,265 assistant and associate professors on Harvard's faculty. The report, titled "The Final Report: How Affirmative Action at Harvard was Transformed From a 1988 Tragedy to a 1990 Triumph," presented a fictitious scenario of a faculty meeting with Harvard's pres ident and its 198 black faculty members. An explosion kills eve ryone at the meeting, and at the memorial service an affirmative action program calling for a min imum 10 percent black faculty is presented. "It's something to talk about," said Derrick Bell, professor of law at Harvard. Bell is the author of the report and co-chairman of the asso ciation. In his scholarly writings, he has often used the African tradition of parables and allegories to "create the kind of impact that grabs people." "When you use straight textual material, yawns come pretty quick," not feel it can meet the association's 1 objectives in two years, Quincy said. sf UNC roup to debate State panel By JAMES BURROUGHS Staff Writer UNC's Young Democrats will debate N.C. State University's chap ter of College Republicans on the upcoming presidential election because UNC's College Republicans did not attend two of the three meetings scheduled for planning the debate, student government officials said Friday. The debate, scheduled for 8 p.m. on Nov. 2 in Gerrard Hall, was originally to consist of three UNC student supporters of Michael Duka kis debating three UNC student supporters of George Bush, said Patricia Grippe stnHpnt onwrnmcnti executive assistant for the specialr projects committee. Three meetings were scheduled between leaders of the Young Demo crats and the UNC College Repub licans, Griggs said. At the Oct. 12 meeting, four officers of the Young Democrats were present, and one member of the UNC College Repub licans attended Bill Taylor, chair man of the group. Taylor had agreed to fully support the debate, she said. At the next two meetings, Oct. 19 and Oct. 26, five officers from the Young Democrats were present, but no UNC College Republican officers attended, she said. The absence of Republican leaders at the meetings caused Griggs to go to Student Body President Kevin Martin for assist ance, she said. Martin contacted Billy Maddalon, vice chairman of NCSU's College Republicans, who agreed to partici pate in the debate, Martin said Friday. Maddalon said Friday that three NCSU students had been chosen for the Republican panel , in the debate and that they would begin working on the questions, which they received Friday night from Wayne Goodwin, president of UNC's Young Democrats. .Taylor said Saturday that he did not know the UNC College Repub licans would not be participating in Xbt debate. . Taylor said his organization would be ready to debate on Wednesday. Taylor said he missed the Oct. 19 meeting because of a political meeting in Raleigh, and the Oct. 26 meeting to, visit his grandfather, who had suffered a heart attack. Taylor said Goodwin knew he would be absent from the second meeting. ;Wand a Tucker, the second exec utive assistant for the special projects committee of student government, said Sunday that Taylor had not yet contacted student government about the debate, and fliers advertising the participation of the NCSU Bush supporters had already been made. ; Taylor said he is close friends with Za'n Bunn, the chairwoman of the N;.C. Federation of College Repub lican chapters and an NCSU student, arid he doubts NCSU's College Republicans would attend. can assure you that if they (NCSU's College Republicans) fol low the request of the leaders over there, they will not be here," Taylor said.
