Friday, 7:35 p.m. Second shift
is on duty. University Police Officers
Steve Thornton and Mark Sharpe are
making the rounds of South Campus,
their designated area for the night,
in a patrol car.
Thornton is Sharpe's field training
officer, supervising Sharpe, who has
been in uniform only a month.
They stop and get out to lock a
building. Sharpe locks one door, then
another, then heads for the car. He
glances back to find Thornton grin

more unlocked door that Sharpe
forgot.
8 p.m. They pull into the traffic
circle at Morrison Residence Hall to
find it lined with illegally parked cars,
blocking the fire lane. Sharpe pulls
out his ticket book and starts to work.

"Many of them are blue-collar that -don't

boots with steel toes.

The Reagan Legacy
are compatible with his conservative
judicial philosophy, according to
Bruce Fein, associate attorney
general from 1981 to 1982 and now
a lawyer and author. Fein helped
Reagan select judges to nominate to
Congress.
Some court experts have com
plained that Reagan has not
appointed enough women or minor
ities to the federal courts.
Meanwhile, Thornton spots a guy
with a bottle in his hand. He takes
off down the hill in the car, winding
around into a parking lot. Two
couples, dressed for an evening out,
start to get in their caf but not
soon enough.
Thornton pulls up and gets out of
the car, and a look of dread crosses
the students' faces. One of the men
lights a cigarette and leans against
their car, watching Thornton
approach his buddy, who is holding
the bottle.
The guilty student is Mark, visiting
from N.C. State University. He's
clean-cut, blue-eyed and cool.
But suddenly his slick, smart
confidence isn't enough. Thornton
stands in front of him, silent at first,
and eyes him steadily. Within seconds
Mark is sitting in the patrol car,
facing a possible arrest for carrying
an open bottle of Smirnoff vodka,
and for having an ID that says he's

MBA
By JENNIFER WING
Staff Writer
UNC's Master of Business Admin
istration (MBA) program was ranked
eighth in the nation in this week's
Business Week magazine, despite a
comparatively low grade from grad
uate students on job placement and
a low overall ranking from
corporations.
The lower scores are due to a lack
of resources and the small size of the
school, UNC business school officials
said.
The survey was based on responses
from 1,245 graduates and 112 cor
porations. The corporations were
asked to answer questions such as
which schools have the best general
management skills, said Celeste
Whittaker, an editoral assistant at
Business Week.
The graduates were asked, among
other questions, to rank how early
the placement office brought recruit
ers to the school, she said.
The Business Week ranking com
bined these two scores, with a greater
emphasis on the corporations rank
ings, she said. "UNC has some of the
most positive results," Whittaker
to be opportunity," Simpson said. In
- Portland,- there-are less than 100
hardcore white supremacy skinheads,
he said.
"The fact of the matter is that some
white, sick racist people committed
a murder. A murder was perpetrated
on race hate," said Greg Gudger,
executive director of the Metropol
itan Human Relations Commission.
"Skinheads in general are not
violent. Our organization is not
violent," John Metzger said. "We
have no problem with fighting, but
we go out of our way to get out of
of judges he would appoint?"
Out of 292 federal district court
appointees, Reagan selected 24
women, six blacks, 14 Hispanics and
two Asians. He appointed six women,
one black and one Hispanic in the
83 appointments he made to the
circuit courts.
Judge Kenneth Starr, who was
appointed to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit in 1983, is a typical example
of a Reagan appointee, Fein said.
Starr has ruled to keep the federal
courts out of U.S. foreign relations,

UNC received scores of 'A' for
teaching and 4 A' for curriculum. "We
have been consistently ranked," said
William Perreault, dean of academic
affairs at UNC's School of Business
Administration. "In particular, we
have a really strong curriculum."
Business Week's comments were:
"Most admired faculty by graduates;
ambitious new dean hails from IBM;
a bargain at the price." In addition,
the graduate student survey ranked
UNC second overall.
Several factors were responsible for
UNC's 'C grade in the placement
category, said Peter Topping, direc
tor of graduate placement in the
MBA school. Many of the schools
mentioned in the top 20 ranked about
the same as UNC in placement, he
said.
In addition, UNC's MBA program
is very small, with a graduating class
of 145 students last year, so attracting
a large number of corporations to
recruit from a small school is difficult,
Topping said.
Perreault said: "There is a strong
relationship between the corporate
ratings and the size of the school. A

among the British working class and

"Primarily, it's been a reaction to
non-white immigration into Britain,"
Tom Metzger said.
But not every skinhead is racist.
The neo-Nazi skinheads tend to be
more violent and are often at odds
with other skinheads, said Marvin

Starr has also upheld several civil
liberty views to keep debate open
about different political and social
perspectives. In the 1984 case of

1987 case of Tavoulareas v. The

State universities like UNC do not
have the same opportunities as
private schools, Perreault said.
The Business Week article calcu
lated how well the schools served
students and employers based on
surveys from the class of 1988 and
from corporate employers. Northw
estern's J.L. Kellogg Graduate
School ranked first in the survey.
Of the top 20 MBA programs
mentioned in the survey, UNC was
ranked 19th by the 112 corporations
surveyed. Business Week ranked
UNC's MBA program two places
higher than Duke University's.
Gill Roberts, a graduate of UNC's
MBA program who now works with
the school's program, said the bus
iness program had not put heavy
resources into the placement program
in the past. Recruiters felt neglected
because of the lack of interviewing
rooms and felt less confident about
recruiting from a small program,
