BOG examines

Staff Writer
The UNC Board of Governors
(BOG) discussed UNC-system Pres
ident CD. Spangler's corporate
dealings in a closed-session meeting
on Friday.
Ross Johnson, former RJR
Nabisco Inc. president, said in court
documents made public in January
that in early 1988 Spangler had
proposed a buyout of the company.
The suggestion never developed
into anything more than a conceptual
idea, Spangler said, and the proposal
was rejected.
Spangler also sits on the boards of
Jefferson Pilot Corporation and
BellSouth Corporation. Many uni

Officer Keith Edwards filed her step-
four grievance on Sept. 1, 1988, just
within the 30-daylimit. The attorney

claiming Edwards had filed the
grievance on Oct. 31, almost two
months after the Sept. 1 deadline.
Nesnow ruled that the University
has until Feb. 24 to file its pre-hearing
statement.
"I'm excited, but I'm also tired of
their tactics," Edwards said Wednes
day. "These are the kind of stumbling
blocks you have to deal with when
you file a grievance."
Edwards is one of eight UNC police
officers who charged that discrimina
tion had played a part in the decision
to promote 1 3 white officers in June
1987. A step-one grievance by the
officers to their immediate supervisor
was denied.
The officers then filed a grievance
with the UNC personnel office, and
that step-two grievance was also
denied, prompting the officers to file

Candidates for student body pres

day night to discuss issues at a forum
sponsored by RHA.
Kevin Sisson, Brien Lewis, Rod

the forum, addressed the issue of
improving student government's
communication with the UNC
administration.

The BOG holds a wide range of
opinions on whether there should be
rules governing corporate dealings
for system presidents, chancellors and

Robert Jones, BOG chairman.
Some BOG members had
expressed concern about Spangler's
proposal to RJR-Nabisco and other
corporate involvement, Jones said.
They are also concerned about other

a step-three grievance with Chancel
lor Paul Hardin.
The officers' grievances were
denied by Hardin in the step-three
process on Aug. 2, 1988. Edwards was
the only officer who decided to go
to step four, the State Personnel
Commission.
In his letter denying the grievance,
Hardin wrote, "the (step-four) request
should be made within 30 calendar
days and may be filed through either
the Office of the University Assistant
Personnel Director Employee
Relations or the Office of the
Chancellor."
On Sept. 1, 1988, within the 30
day limit, she sent a request for a step
four hearing to the chancellor's office.
The request was then sent to the UNC
employee relations office on Sept. 6
to be forwarded to the Office of State
Personnel .
On Sept. 12, Michael Lewis, a
UNC employee relations'officer, sent
the request to the state personnel
office. In the letter with the request,
Lewis said Edwards "submitted this

Sisson said students must be willing
to give and take to improve commun
ication with the administration.
When the student body president
presents his ideas to administrative
officials, he must be sure his ideas
are beneficial to all concerned,
including students, faculty, staff and
administrators, Sisson said.
"The key in working with the
administration is trying to find
equitable solutions," he said.

Being involved with business has
often been an asset, rather than
causing a conflict of interest, Spangler
said.
"These companies have been the
largest benefactors of education in the
South," he said. "They donate to
universities on a regular basis."
UNC benefits from his involve
ment with businesses, Spangler said.
"I don't know of any problems that
exist," he said.
The board is very positive about
the job Spangler is doing as president,
Jones said. The BOG meeting was
not necessarily to discuss a possible
conflict of interest, but how personnel
matters would be handled in such a
situation, Jones said.

"We need to make sure that we

said.

Candidates for Carolina Athletic

sented their platforms and answered
questions at a forum at Carmichael
Residence Hall Wednesday night.
In her opening statement, Suzie
Saldi said homecoming would be her
priority as president, but also said
support for non-revenue sports and
increased intramural competition
with other schools are important
issues. Student buses for away foot
ball games would be a viable idea,
she said.
"I'm looking at all aspects of the
CAA, not just one or two," she said.
Bob D'Arruda said a non-revenue

should be a primary concern of the
student body president. By sending
administrators a formal biweekly
letter outlining student government's
long- and short-range goals, the
student body president could improve
communication, he said.
"We need to make the administra
tion feel safer about bringing the
issues to us," he said.
Loughran said the student body
president could improve communica
tion if he becomes more aware that
dealing with the administration is a
two-way street. The student body

The pay raise controversy involves
the difference in proposed increases.

the present rate. v

Smith Center seats assigned to

also go to students, he said.
"If alumni don't show up for the
