Assistant university Editor However, UNC personnel office More than 16 months after UNC's officials said Wednesday that only black femaie police officer filed Edwards did not miss the deadline, a grievance charging discrimination and they attributed the confusion to within the University police depart ment, the state has filed a motion to dismiss her case because of what University personnel officials called a bureaucratic mix-up. The state attorney general's office has filed a motion to dismiss Officer an administrative error. "There's no question that she filed it in time," said Dan Burleson, assistant personnel director , for employee relations. Alan McSurely, Edwards' lawyer, was informed Jan. 18 that the attor- Keith Edwards' case because they ney general's office had filed a motion believe she missed the Sept. 1 deadline to dismiss Edwards' grievance for filing a request for a hearing with because it was filed Oct. 31, almost two months after the Sept. 1 deadline. McSurely has compiled an affi davit to give to Raleigh Administra tive Law Judge Dolores Nesnow, who will decide if the grievance was filed on time. Edwards' affidavit states that the motion to dismiss her grievance is "either a case of malicious dilatory tactics or extreme negligence by the UNC-CH lawyers, or both." Edwards is one of eight UNC police officers who charged that discrimina tion had played a part in a decision to promote 13 white officers in June 1987. A grievance by the officers to their immediate supervisor, known as a step one grievance, was denied. The officers then filed a step two grievance with the UNC personnel office, and that was also denied, prompting the officers to file a step three grievance with Chancellor Paul Hardin. Hardin denied the officers' grievan ces on August 2, 1988. Seven of the officers decided not to pursue their grievance, but Edwards went to step See GRIEVANCE page 2 Clemsomi shocks No. 3 Heels 85 By DAVE GLENN Shorts Editor CLEMSON, S.C. Before North Carolina's game Wednesday night at Clemson, the third-ranked Tar Heels were welcomed to Littlejohn Coli seum by the silent treatment from the orange-clad Clemson fans. For 25 minutes, including UNC player palyers suspended for last Sunday's outside shooting of guard Kirkland Howling, the Tigers squeezed out an 85-82 victory over a stunned Tar Heel squad before 11,000 at Littlejohn. The Tigers upped their record to 13-5 on the year, 4-3 in the ACC. UNC fell to 18-4, 5-2. Davis, one of seven Clemson introductions, there was silence in Tiger Country. But seconds after the game's final buzzer sounded, an orange wave swept across. the floor in jubilation, chasing the Tar Heels out of the Clemson victory celebration. Led by the Herculean inside play of forward Dale Davis and the clutch loss at Duke, returned in style against the Tar Heels. The 6-foot-10 sopho more scored 21 points on 9-of-12 shooting and grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds (eight offensive) on the night. Davis' 21 boards were the most for a Clemson player since Tree Rollins grabbed 23 in 1977. Howling, a 6-foot-4 swingman who transferred from a junior college, shot 3-for-4 from the field to finish with 11 points. But in only 10 minutes of action, Howling nailed two big three pointers to give the Tigers the lead. The second, coming with less than a minute to play, turned an 82-80 defecit into a one-point Tiger lead with 47 seconds remaining. On the Tar Heels' ensuing posses sion, Kevin Madden was long -with a 17-foot jumper from the left baseline, and Howling was there. The junior reserve calmly sank both ends of a one-and-one after Madden fouled him with 24 seconds remaining to give the Tigers their final margin Cairirboro sufodiivisoom) project to be -seryta-iraized-at mmeeuoini By DANIEL CONOVER after the meeting, staff writer At stake is Philip Szostak's $1.8 Tonight's meeting of opponents million Amberly development, a 198- and supporters of the Amberly acre, 157-unit subdivision bordering the Carrboro Community Park on subdivision in Carrboro may be just the first act in a new round of controversy, according to sources close to the project.

But a tbwn.ordinance requires 1987. An official from the Environmen tal Management Division of the N.C. Department of Natural Resources (EMD) will conduct the meeting. He will give his recommendation on Amberly's wastewater treatment permit to EMD director Paul Wilms If the state approves the permit, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen will probably review Szostak's subdivi sion application. The mayor and three aldermen said Tuesday they Morgan Creek in the University Lake expect to review the application, but watershed. The plans include a none could confirm that a review regulation polo field, club house and would definitely be held, equestrian center.

Clemson coach Cliff Ellis, who beat the Tar Heels for only the second time in his career at Clemson, had an interesting comment about the final furious minutes. MI had a gut feeling Dean (Smith) was going to a zone," Ellis said. "So I didn't want (Tim) Kincaid and (Marion) Cash in there together. I wanted my shooters in there, so I substituted Howling for Cash. "It was really just a gut feeling, but it really came through for us tonight." Tar Heel coach Dean Smith had his own version of the final minutes. "With 1:32 left (when the Tar Heels went to the zone), we really gambled and lost," he said. "We felt we could cover the outside shot, and I thought Howling's shot was covered very well. "If he misses that one, I like our chances." The second half was marked by strong inside play at both ends of the court, and neither team could gain more than a two- or three-point advantage. In one stretch, there were 12 consecutive lead changes. Case in point: After J.R.

The committee endorsed a pro posal made by the Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee sug gesting a $25 annual transportation fee to be paid by all students for improvement of the campus shuttle system. A related proposal recom mends the University consider oper ating its own shuttle bus service to supplement Chapel Hill Transit services in some areas. In 1988-89, according to the report, about $461,000 of transportation and parking funds helped to finance the $1.8 million public safety budget, and the committee recommended that most of these funds be returned to the transportation and parking budget during the 1989-91 biennium. Other proposals include the crea tion of a parking development fund to aid the financing of future projects. See PARKING page 4 Aluinnioi report calls for drop of towoi's name in 'UNC-CH' By JENNY CLONINGER Assistant University Editor The "at Chapel Hill" in UNC-CH should be omitted, the General Alumni Association (GAA) sug gested in a report adopted by the association at their board of directors meeting on Saturday. The report said, "For almost a century and a half, the name 'Uni versity of North Carolina was under stood to mean the institution located at Chapel Hill the first state university in America. In recent years restructuring has confused the mean ing of that name. "We believe that at some point in the future it is advisable and will be possible to remove that confusion without jeopardizing the identity of the University System or any of its constituent institutions." Tradition and confusion about UNC's official name prompted the non-binding proposal, said Tom Lambeth, chairman of the task force and GAA president-elect. "I think there is very strong sentiment in the alumni association for retaining the Chapel Hill campus original name," he said. General confusion both inside and outside the state concerning the difference between UNC-CH, other UNC institutions and the 16-member UNC system is another reason for the change, Lambeth said. To avoid sharing the name of the system, which is also The University of North Carolina, Lambeth sug gested a new name for the system, like "The North Carolina University System" or "The University of North Carolina System." Other N.C. public universities that share the UNC name may be inter ested in new, more individual names, Lambeth said. "I don't believe the people at Appalachian State University would like that institution to be renamed UNC-Boone," he said. "We did not See ALUMNI page 5 When life is too much, roll with it, baby.
