, UNC student leaders are still trying
to get student representation on a
joint committee composed of Univer
sity and area representatives.
The Coordination and Consulta
tion Committee (CCC) was created
"by UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin and
Chapel Hill Mayor Jonathan Howes
to address issues of mutual concern
to the University and the surrounding
towns.
Committee members include offi
cials from the University, Orange
County, North Carolina Memorial
Hospital and the towns of Chapel Hill
and Carrboro.
The UNC student government has
been lobbying for a student represen
tative on the CCC, but such a position
will not be created in the immediate
future, Howes said.
Students will be able to participate
in the CCC subcommittees that will
address specific issues, like parking
or day care, Howes said.
Student representation in the CCC
subcommittees will be coordinated
through the newly created External
Affairs branch of student
government.
Student Body President Brien
Lewis said there would be at least two
student government representatives
at, the next town-gown committee
meeting.
- The CCC will hold its second
meeting May 1 to discuss transpor
tation issues and potential relocation
sites for the Horace Williams Airport.
Howes said the meeting's agenda
for May will include discussion on
town traffic conditions and vehicular
access to the University.
Moses Carey Jr., chairman of the
Orange County Board of Commis
sioners and member of the CCC, said
the consultant hired by the county
to investigate land sites for the airport
would present an update to the
committee at the May meeting.
The committee will also prioritize
a list of issues that will be addressed
in the future, Carrboro Mayor
Eleanor Kinnaird said.
The meeting is open to the public
and will be held at the UNC Institute
of Government at 3:30 p.m.

Student Congress to consider
By GENIE WALKER
Staff Writer
A bill proposing that condom
dispensers be installed in residence
hall bathrooms will be presented to
Student Congress for approval at
tonight's meeting.
Administrators and student leaders
said the machines were needed mostly
because of the growing danger of
AIDS.
Alarming statistics about the rapid
spread of AIDS make this issue one
that, affects the entire community as
well as the state and nation, Student
Congress Speaker Gene Davis said.
"Because of the growing concern
about AIDS and other sexually
transmitted diseases, it is important
for Student Congress to stand up in
support of the only preventive device
effective in thwarting the transmis
sion of these diseases."

Committee oears dental school dean

A search committee is narrowing
the list of candidates being considered
to replace Ben Barker, who is step
ping down as dean of the School of
Dentistry.
"We are trying to whittle down the
list from a very wide pool of appli
cants to a smaller number," said
Ernest Schoenfeld, chairman of the
search committee.
The search began last fall, Schoen
feld said. "We met with people who
have done searches in the past to get
imput."
, The committee started the search
by advertising on campus, in the
community and around the country,

Special Olympics participant Christy Walker rolls County Special
to victory in a wheelchair race at the Orange Culbreth Junior
ciation (RHA) president, said, "I
think it is a good idea because of the
number of people living in dorms, the
age of those students and the real
issue of AIDS and other sexually
transmitted diseases for college-age
students."
Wayne Kuncl, director of Univer
sity housing, said, "The purpose of
the machines is first, the concern over
AIDS, and secondly, to promote safe
sex."
The bill calls for a machine in the
first floor bathrooms of all residence
halls, whether single-sex or coed.
While condoms now are available
in campus stores, including the Circus
Room and South Campus conven
ience stores, a more private place to
purchase condoms is needed, said Sue
Gray, Student Health Service (SHS)
director of health education.
Residence hall bathrooms provide
convenience and privacy not found
he said. "We cast a very broad net
to the faculty, staff and students
throughout the University, in the
outside community and to people in
practice."
Management skills, teaching expe
rience and personal interaction are
characteristics the committee is
looking for in applicants, Schoenfeld
said.
"We are looking for someone with
strong management and people skills.
They have to be someone who can
manage a large academic enterprise.
They also need to have some expe
rience with teaching and research."
The applicants being considered
are not necessarily dentists in the
professional world, Schoenfeld said.

plan to install dispensers in residence hall 1
in snack bars and stores across
campus, said Student Body President
Brien Lewis. "This is a private thing
and should be dealt with as a delicate
and private issue."
Also, the condoms would be
available at hours when stores are
closed, he said.
The machines' presence will not
promote promiscuity, student leaders
said. The machihes will be discreet,
tasteful and inconspicuous.
"We can't regulate morality, and
a lot of people will be sexually active,"
Jackson said. "The machines won't
scream 'have sex. "
The machines would be purchased,
installed and maintained by a private
company so neither the University
nor students would have to finance
the project, Davis said.
Lewis said, "Safety is the whole
key, not only in preventing an
unwanted pregnancy but also AIDS
"We are looking for someone who
is competent in their field. They do
not need to be a dentist, but clearly
they should have experience in fields
relating to dentistry."
The committee received a large
number of applications because the
School of Dentistry has a good
reputation throughout the country,
Schoenfeld said. "In talking with
people all over the country, everyone
said the School of Dentistry is the
number one school of dentistry in the
country."
The search committee is not just
made up of faculty and staff from
the School of Dentistry, Schoenfeld
said. "All the people on the committee

if they prevent one case of AIDS,
then the machines have done their
job."
The bill recommends that a per
centage of the machines' profits go
to SHS for use in sex education and
AIDS testing and education. v
"The concept of making condoms
accessible to students is one we
endorse, and if the proceeds from
sales could be given to SHS to put
into education purposes, it is greatly
needed and would be well used," Gray
said.
At ASU, the first UNC-system
campus to install condom vending
machines in residence halls, 30
percent of the proceeds are returned
to the university.
Kelli Hammond, chairwoman for
Student Affairs at ASU, said the
program there has been a success,
"The machines are going over really
well, there hasn't been any vandalism,
from the School of Dentistry are from
different perspectives in the school.
Having people from different pers
pectives is very important."
Three committee members are
from outside the School of Dentistry,
Schoenfeld said. They represent the
School of Medicine, the psychology
department and the School of Public
Health.
"The School of Dentistry has the
same basic standards of the School
of Medicine." he said. "Behavior has
also become more important in all
health and science schools. And as
a representative of the. School of
Public Health, I bring in the Univer-,
sity perspective."

Robert Jones, chairman of the
UNC Board of Governors (BOG),
said Tuesday that he supported a
proposed bill that would prohibit the
use of student fees for homosexual
organizations on UNC-system cam
puses, although other BOG members
and UNC-CH administrators said
they opposed the bill.
"I don't approve of homosexuals,
and anything that goes against it gets
my approval," Jones said. "The bill
does not say where they (student fees)
will go, but where they don't go.
"I don't think certain social things
should be funded through student
fees."
Rep. Stephen Arnold, R-Guilford,
introduced the bill to the N.C. House
of Representatives last week. It was
referred to the House Education
Committee, which must sponsor the
bill before it is allowed on the House
floor.
Arnold said Sunday that the bill
would outlaw funding and prohibit
the use of campus buildings for
homosexual groups at UNC-system
schools. These groups support homo
sexuality, and homosexual acts are
illegal in North Carolina.
Jones said he would oppose most
legislation seeking to control student
fees, but he is choosing to support
this bill. "If the majority of the
legislature seeks to endorse it, then
I will endorse it."
Irwin Belk, BOG member, said that
although he had not read the bill, he
felt it will not pass. "I'm sure they
(N.C. legislators) will take care of
some sort of screwball, biil hke that.
Reginald McCoy, also a BOG
member, said he did not oppose or
approve of the bill and would obey
the legislature's decision.
Robert Eubanks, chairman of the
UNC-CH Board of Trustees, said the
bill was an attempt by the legislature
to interfere with the responsibilities
of students. "It's the students' deci
sion, and I think the Board of
Trustees should stay out of it and the
legislature should stay out of it.
"If the bill is passed, it will be
another form of governmental con-
and the machines have been used
responsibly. The feedback has been
very positive; we were recognized in
all state papers, and the only negative
article was in The Charlotte Observer,
and it was retracted the next day."
Several students said Tuesday that
they supported the idea of condom
machines in residence halls.
"I would support it," said Jerence
Khoo, a graduate student from
Malaysia. "You aren't going to
prohibit sex among students, so why
not come to reality and provide such
a service?"
Availability is another reason for
having condom machines in residence
halls, said Norman Fox, a freshman
from Cary. "It's basically pretty
stupid these days to have sex without
a condom." The machines are needed
"so people won't have sex without one
just because it's not there."
Students are more likely to buy
selection
only in the School of Dentistry, but
also in the University and in the
community, Schoenfeld said.
"The role of the school in the
University is important for the new
dean to be aware of. The dean has
to have an interest in what happens
in the school because people in the
community are also interested. Dent
ists with their own practices have an
interest in what goes on in the
school."
The search for a new dean will
continue through the summer,
Schoenfeld said. "Doing a search is
the most difficult job because only
one person can be selected."
Barker could not be reached for

UNC-system student leaders who
work with student fee allocations will
meet today in Raleigh on the steps
of the General Assembly Building for
a press conference about the bill,
UNC-CH Student Congress Speaker
Gene Davis said. .
Brooks Raeford, president of the
N.C. State University (NCSU) Stu
dent Senate, said he planned to
protest the bill today, with the other
student leaders. NCSU has two
homosexual groups, but only one is
funded by student fees.
The New Lesbian and Gay Student
Union at NCSU is a relatively new
support group that focuses on edu
cating the public about homosexu
ality, Raeford said. The group's first
attempts at soliciting student funds
generated much controversy on the
NCSU campus, but the group still
received funding, he said.
"If we had denied them funding
because they were a homosexual
support group, then that would be
an infraction of the law." Raeford
said the group's funds have only been
cut for the same reasons other groups
have been denied student funds, such
as lack of fund raising or initiative
to generate other sources of money.
Michael Larsen, president of the
Gay and Lesbian Association
(GALA) at UNC-Charlotte, said the
group was classified as a secondary
organization, which does not receive
student fees. But the group is allowed
to use campus buildings, he said.
The. group, is not politically active,
"but will help oppose the bill if its use
of campus buildings is in danger,
Larsen said.
UNC-Greensboro, N.C. Central
University, East Carolina University
and Appalachian State University are
some UNC-system schools that do
not have recognized homosexual
organizations.
Donald Boulton, UNC-CH vice
chancellor and dean of student
affairs, said he thought there was a
