6The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, January 24, 1989 Group to By AMY WAJDA Staff Writer After about 30 minutes of heated debate, the UNC Faculty Council resolved Friday to have the faculty athletics committee reconsider the faculty staff basketball ticket distri bution process. Willis Brooks, associate professor of history and council member, asked for revision of several faculty staff ticket distribution policies, including the mailing of ticket applications to employees on leave, loss of seating priority after taking leave, and the B A man reported at 1:49 p.m. Monday that as he was walking near Gardner Hall, two men came out of the bushes and walked by him, brushing against his body.

Before 1986, applications were mailed only to those employees on a payroll list used by the Ticket Office, Brooks said. . This policy excluded employees on leave, even those on campus with grants, he said. Brooks said he asked at the November 1987 council meeting that Richard Hiskey, chairman of the faculty athletics council, look into the mailing policy. "Hiskey was sympa thetic and promised to look into the matters," Brooks said. 5:08 p.m. Sunday.

AND MUCH MUCH MORE Hiskey did not respond, Brooks said. After writing a follow-up letter to Hiskey, Brooks said he received a letter which read, in part, that following the November meeting, "(Athletic Director) John Swofford instructed the ticket office to send ticket applications to all faculty and staff regardless of their leave status. "This process is now in place and operative for the 1988-89 academic year." Several days later announcements appeared in three consecutive issues of the University Gazette, a Univer sity newsletter, that said ticket applications would be mailed only to last year's ticket holders, Brooks said. Classes: Record number closed at drop-add By JENNY CLONINGER Assistant University Editor High enrollment, underestimated class demand and a funding shortage contributed to the record number of closed classes during the drop-add period this semester, University administrators said Monday. About 2,000 more classes than usual were closed, said David Lanier, University registrar. Traditionally, a few academic departments, such as the philosophy and English depart ments, have more closed classes than others. But this semester, the shortage was spread over many departments, he said. Enrollment this fall was higher than expected, Lanier said, which contributed to the class shortage. Another possible cause is students are spot depends on how many people sign up to participate in the contest," Ken said. "They will probably do three or four dunks and then we will narrow down the field. For the final round on Saturday there will be three finalists." CAA officers will judge the pre liminary round, he said. "The dunks will be judged on basic talent, athletic ability and the degree of the dunk," Kerr said. The final round will be judged by the fathers of some of the mens's varsity basketball players, he said. CAA officials have asked Dave Lebo, Herman Reid Sr.. and Herman Denny to judge the event, he said. Mr. UNC Cedric Brown and Daily Tar Heel sports editor Dave Glenn will also judge the final round. Any student with a valid student ID can participate in the contest. Participants must sign up in the CAA office or at the Union desk by 1 p.m. on Wednesday and should report to Carmichael at 6:15 p.m. for the preliminary round. Last year, the contest's preliminary round was held in Woollen gym, Kerr said. "Last year, we had about 200 spectators in Woollen gym, but there were no seats for them and they just stood around," he said. "This year we decided to have the preliminary round in Carmichael so we will have seats for everyone. We hope this will encourage everyone to come out and watch the contest." f light 10W MOUSI GLIDE PROCESSING WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART E-6 IUIPHT SLIDE PROCESSING QUICK AS A FLASH AT TT EKTACHROME sm ram a?ais ajESusj ( S . 73dD pmn C&mimn3Blhi&iIl Aundlo in n p Other employees would have to contact the Ticket Office for applications. Brooks said this announcement was "unacceptable" because it did not fulfill the promise of universal mailing and also because the University Gazette is mailed only to employees on payroll. But Hiskey said he believed the mailing issue had been handled. "It's my belief that people who were on leave last year received applications for basketball tickets," he said. "If that's not the case, it will certainly be corrected." Hiskey said he and Swofford agreed to distribute applications to. all employees but could not carry out preregistering for more courses than in the past, he said. Registration officials cannot accu rately gauge, student demand for courses because many students, anticipating class shortages, prereg ister for more courses than they actually intend to take, Lanier said. "Departments are reluctant to respond to demand," he said. "They know students are going to drop them (classes) when they get back to school." Students could solve part of the Seating with 1,200 students on the lower level beginning at midcourt and extending to the area behind the basket, said Al Renfrew, university ticket manager. Renfrew said the center was built entirely from athletic revenue and no private donations. Student demand rarely is enough to use all the allotted space for students, he said. At Syracuse University, home of the Carrier Dome, an average of 4,600 students acquire seating in the 32,500 seat arena, but the university will guarantee seating to meet student demand, said Patrick Campbell, assistant managing director of the Carrier Dome. "WeVe never had to restrict the amount of (student) tickets that are available since weVe been in the Carrier Dome," he said. Students purchase season tickets at a reduced price, and after a lottery, they are assigned tickets in the lower level from midcourt to the baseline and in the upper level behind the basket, he said. Half of the funding for the dome came from private donations and the, second half from the state of New sYork, he said. Students also receive lower-level tickets located from midcourt to the basket in the 23,000 seat Rupp Arena at the University of Kentucky, said Barb Donnelly, university ticket manager. Students are granted 1,800 free lower-level seats and over 5,000 more on the upper level, she said. The arena was built by city funds with no private donations, and season-ticket holders fill all remaining seats, she said. In the Carver Hawkeye Arena at the University of Iowa, 6,000 student seats are reserved among the 15,200 total seats in the arena, and most of that student seating is within a midcourt block which extends back QBlfe OtRZGB 'JfcffiQj SEED i n .... mt ticket distdbutioimi the policy because of a ticket audit in the ticket office this fall. He and Swofford have promised to distribute applications to all 8,500 UNC employees, exclusive of hospital operating staff, next fall, regardless of leave status. Faculty suggested different solu tions to the problem of contacting employees going on leave about distribution. Jack Donnelly, profes sor of political science, proposed to have interested faculty take the initiative. Another professor said the athletics committee should take the responsibility for contacting employees. Faculty Council Chairman Harry Gooder offered a compromise. He problem if they were more willing to choose more varied perspective courses, Lanier said! "There are courses out there if students would take advantage of them," he said. "They're concentrating themselves in certain ones." UNC cannot enlarge its instruc tional staff because of budget con straints, said Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of Student Affairs. "We continue to be strained in terms of the budget that allows us for 42 rows, said Pam Finke, assistant ticket manager at Iowa. Students must purchase a full season ticket package for $80, or a half season for $40, but Finke said students rarely use all of the seats allotted for them. The arena was built entirely by private funds, and close to one-third of the seating is reserved for patrons and alumni, she said. One-half of the 16,153 seat Assem bly Hall at the University of Illinois is reserved for students, and most of the student seating exists all around the court and near the floor, said Paul Bunting, university ticket manager. The other half of the arena's seating goes to season ticket holders and contributors to Illinois athletics, he said. The center was built mostly from student fees, but students must also purchase a $70 season ticket package in order to obtain student seating, Bunting said. All available student seats are rarely used, he said. About 7,000 seats are reserved for students in the 25,000-seat SBP The construction of a Student Affairs building on campus that would house the Financial Aid Office, University Cashier's Office, the Department of University Housing and other divisions of student affairs that are currently housed in various buildings is one of his major concerns for the following year, Loughran said. An attempt to re-convert Can building and Steele building to residence halls will follow after offices are moved to the newly constructed Student Affairs building, he said. The construction of an extension to the Student Union which would house a more extensive Black Cul tural Center is also a priority in Loughran's platform. Loughran said he plans to build communication at the University by establishing a State and Affairs Committee (STAFF). "It would communicate student concerns to the O iNf BAR GRILL 149V2 Franklin St. 942 JbtusJJnn !gp CHINESE RESTfiURfiNT Chinese Gourmet Dinner Buffet Lunch Buffet-All You Can Eat 4.95 All the SHRIMP, BEEF, CHICKEN & ORIENTAL VEGETABLES You Can Eat PLUS Fried Rice, Egg Rolls & Dumplings 3 VISA S fcLUOT ROAO f t E.

Brooks said he asked at the November meeting that the athletics committee also look into the loss of . distribution seniority suffered by employees who took leave. The committee's inaction on this issue was attested to by "the ticket office's confirmation that they had received no new instructions from the faculty athletics committee," he said. ; Allowing employees on leave to retain their seniority will be easily handled, if approved by the council; Hiskey said. ; to offer the options that students want and deserve," he said. "I think faculty are already at the end of their ropes.- "That's the real problem that students are having a multiple series of needs, and we don't have the resources to provide them." The University is lobbying the General Assembly for more money to help meet needs, Boulton said. "(But) it's not a happy time right now in terms of money and morale," he said. from page 1 Thompson-Boling Arena at the University of Tennessee, with the majority of student seats in the upper level, said Robert Langen of the Tennessee ticket office. - J The student seating on the lower level starts behind the Voluntfeel" bench and extends behind the basket, he said. Both state and private funding was used in the building .of the arena, and student tickets are distributed on a game-by-game basis, he said. ' Students at the University jbf California at Los Angeles have 2,017 reserved seats inside the 12,500 seat Pauley Pavilion, but most of the student seating is located beside the court from baseline to baseline, sai Mark Munhall, 'operations supervi sor of Pauley Pavillion. u: A $48 full season ticket package, a half season package or a $3 individual game ticket must ,b;e purchased by students to obtain the seating, Munhall said. Non-student season ticket holders fill the rest of the seats, he said. from page 1 state legislature and investigate the budget process in relation to things like increases in tuition and faculty salaries." Improvements in academics would include eliminating overlaps in the perspective system, Loughran said. ' Loughran said he would also like to have the University take control of the residence hall phones in the summer so installation charges would be less for students. More free phones are also needed in the Student Union and the libraries, he said. Loughran has been student liaison to the Chapel Hill Town Council this year. He also served as an executive assistant for Student Body Presidents Bryan Hassel and Kevin Martin. He was a member of the student attorney general's staff his sophomore year and now serves on the Committee on Student Conduct.
