James Martin's decision not to reappoint Barbara S. Perry to the UNC Board of Trustees disappointed student leaders, according to Student Congress Speaker Gene Davis. Davis said Student Congress' major concern is that there will only be one woman on the Board of Trus tees. "The BOT was set up in order to serve as a vehicle by which the people of North Carolina could in fluence the educational institution that they fund," Davis said. "With more than half of the state's population being women, what kind of repre sentation do they have on a board on which they comprise less than 10 percent?" The governor reappointed Raleigh businessman John W. Pope and ap pointed for the first time Raleigh at torney Arch T. Allen, chairman of the Wake County Republican Party. Perry, one of two women on the 1 3-member board, said she received a letter from Martin last week telling her she would not be reappointed. She said Martin promised her a sec ond term in a face-to-face conversa tion last winter. Davis said Perry was well-qualified for re-election. "They (on the BOT) know her qualifications as a board member more than the gover nor ever could," Davis said. "The governor's decision unfortunately seems to represent a more political meaning." Robert C. Eubanks, trustee of the board, called the governor's move "a terrible decision." "It just shows politics are more important than the University," Eubanks said. "I think it's just one of the worst things I've ever seen." David Prather, deputy director of communications for the governor, said See BOT, page 8 Tuition, fees yncertanim r Tar HeelSarah Cagle Freshman? No, not yet. Jenny Halpern, a student at the Carolina Friends Early School, rests from a campus tour Tuesday by the Bell Tower. By SARAH CAGLE Assistant Editor Until the N.C. General Assembly reaches a consensus on a proposed tuition increase for the UNC-system schools, students will not know what tuition will be and the Board of Gov ernors will not vote on student fee increases. "Now tuition and student fees are both up in the air," said Brien Lewis, student body president. "People will literally not know what their fees are going to be until they get here." It will probably be two more weeks before the N.C. House and Senate reach a consensus on a proposed tui tion increase for the UNC-system schools for the fall semester, accord ing to UNC-system lobbyist Jay Robinson. A House subcommittee recom mended a 20 percent increase in tui tion for in-state students and a 15 percent tuition increase for out-of-state students. The Senate subcommittee recom mended an 8.5 percent increase for in-state and out-of-state students House and Senate leaders will continue to meet in a conference committee until an agreement is reached. The final recommendation will then be voted on in both houses. Until then, the Board of Gover nors will not approve the amount of students fees for the fall semester. The Aug. 5 BOG meeting has been moved to Aug. 25. "There is no great plus in having a fee schedule established when there is no tuition schedule established," said Felix Joyner, UNC vice presi- See TUITION, page 8 Social work building awaits funding By SARAH CAGLE Assistant Editor Officials at the UNC School of Social Work are hoping that the N.C. House of Representatives will appro priate funds for a building which the N.C. Senate would not. The $8.3 million building to house the school has been planned for the past two years. A site on Pittsboro Street has been approved by the Board of Trustees, and the legislature has already appropriated $400,000 for an architect to design the building, ac cording to John B. Turner, dean of the school. The Senate did not appropriate money for the request, which the UNC Board of Governors deemed a high priority. The only Senate appropriations for UNC were made for a $7.5 million building to house the Graduate School of Business Administration, which was not among the BOG requests. , A House committee countered the proposal with an offer to appropriate one-half of the $8.3 million request to the School of Social Work this year, and the rest the following year. The 68-year-old School of Social Work has never had its own build ing. Classes and administration cur rently operate in four different build ings on opposite ends of campus, Turner said. The school is also planning to in stitute a doctoral program pending approval from the Board of Trustees. Without a building, Turner said, the program would be difficult to run. "We need the space and the facili ties," he said. "We're trying to re spond to the educational needs of the state." Paul J. Rizzo, dean of the Gradu ate School of Business, said his school's facilities are also inadequate, and a new building would enhance the school's national reputation. The graduate school is currently housed in Carroll Hall with the undergradu ate Department of Business. Rizzo said a site near the Kenan Center, which houses the Institute for Private Enterprise, is possible. Neither Turner nor Rizzo would comment on the Senate decision. "I don't determine their priorities," Rizzo said. UNC Provost Dennis J. O'Connor said he was puzzled by the decision. "It would seem that the Senate has taken this out of sequence," O'Connor said. "That's clear. Why they did it I don't know." The offer of private funds for the school from Frank Kenan, a trustee of the William Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust and a long-time University benefactor, may have prompted the Senate decision. Kenan offered to contribute $5 million toward the building and UNC system President CD. Spangler re portedly approached Sen. Kenneth Royall, D-Durham, with the offer. . . .Royall. ther chairman, of, fhe,SenV) ate Appropriations Committee, said he pushed for the business school building rather than the social work building because the private funds were available and it was apparent that a lean budget year would cut out most requests. The House bill supporting the School of Social Work still has to be adopted by both House and Senate. Officials said unless the bill passes, the new building for the school will stay on hold. "The school may not be built in the short term," O'Connor said. The Senate rejected several other capital improvements projects at UNC. A $36 million building to house the School of Journalism and the Radio, Television and Motion Pic tures Department was turned down. A $13.9 million biotechnology and biomedical research laboratory and a $7.2 million addition to the dental school were also omitted from the -Senate budget.... . . .
