Memorial endowment fund
honors late UNC official
From staff reports
A library fund established in the
memory of Dr. John Charles Morrow
m, former professor of chemistry and
UNC provost, has surpassed $ 1 0,000,
thanks to donations from more than
100 persons, said Michele Fletcher,
development officer for the Univer
sity libraries.
The library endowment was cre
ated by The Friends of the Library, a
support group for the University li
braries. Morrow and his wife, Mary,
led the effort to establish the fund.
Morrow, who died July 21, was
dean of the General College and the
College of Arts and Sciences for two
years before becoming UNC's sec
ond provost in 1968. He was the
University's chief academic officer
through its period of greatest growth,
stepping down as provost in 1984.
In 1985, Morrow received the
Thomas Jefferson Award, thus desig
nating him as the faculty member
who best exemplifies the ideals and
objectives of Thomas Jefferson.
Morrow also served as chairman of
the Triangle Universities Computa
tion Center and the Center for Re
search Libraries in Chicago and was
a member of the N.C. Board of Sci
ence and Technology and the UNC
Press Board of Directors.
Student funds reduced
because of late requests
By JASON KELLY
Staff Writer
The Student Congress Finance
Committee may be forced to dip into
emergency funds before the year is
over because of heavy demand for funds
by student groups applying late.
Carol Hooks, student body treas
urer, said there was about $13,000 of
student fee money left for the year.
"The money we have left has to last
until May 15. I'm sure we will end up
spending the rest of it easily."
Jurgen Buchenau (Dist. 3), a finance
committee member of Student Con
gress, said the levels were the lowest
he'd seen in three terms in congress.
"The lack of funds might force us into
dipping into the reserves, but that de
pends on the amount groups ask for in
late requests. We are also working with
conservative figures, so we may have
more money than we think."
Student Congress is required by the
Student Code to keep $40,000 in re
serve as an emergency fund.
Buchenau said he could not recall
the fund ever having to be used. 'To

Computer service to aid alumni
The General Alumni Association
and the Career Planning and Place
ment Service are working together to
enable UNC alumni to receive help
in career changes or job searches.
A gift from the association has
enabled the placement service to buy
new resource materials and publica
tions, computer equipment and a
computer program called"Discover."
The computer program is designed
to help displaced workers and adults
considering changing careers or en
tering or re-entering education or the
work force. "Discover" can help a
person develop a personal plan to
meet his or her unique educational
and career goals.

The new equipment purchased for
The Phoenix was not the cause of the
money shortage, Buchenau said. "The
Phoenix is a peripheral reason (for the
shortage). The money student groups
did not use last year and gave back to
congress more than covered The Phoe
nix appropriation."
Last spring, Student Congress had
$190,000 to fund student groups. Re
quests for money added up to only
$175,000. Buchenau said the student
groups who applied for money last
spring probably got more than they
would have if all of the groups who
applied late had applied in the spring.
"If it is anybody's fault, then it is
Student Congress' fault," Buchenau
said. "We were not judicious with
spending cash last spring. Our stan
dards were relaxed because we had a
low demand for funds then, and we
didn't think this many groups would
ask for money late."

Activist's court case sttiiD
By AMY WAJDA
Assistant University Editor
Campus activist Dale McKinley's
Graduate Student Court case is still up
in the air more than a year after he was
charged with violations of the UNC
Code of Student Conduct for anti-CIA
protests.
McKinley, a graduate student in
political science, was charged in July
1988 with obstructing the normal op
erations of the University as a result of
a Feb. 23, 1988, incident at the Univer
sity Motor Inn and charged with ob
struction, trespassing and disorderly
conduct as a result of an April 15, 1988,
demonstration at Hanes Hall.
His case was delayed twice last fall,
and McKinley left UNC during the
spring semester with the case still
undecided.
McKinley returned to Chapel Hill
this semester and said Wednesday that
after returning to UNC he was told by

they have been trained to use them, Fox
said.
The new system will give officers

Associations present forum on Chinese unrest;
By STACEY KAPLAN
Staff Writer
Chinese students conducted a forum
Thursday to discuss some UNC stu
dents' involvement in this summer's
events in China.
The Association of International
Students sponsored the presentation
made by the Friendship Association of
Chinese Students.
Also, Daniel Bossut, from Belgium,
showed some slides taken by a friend in
Tiananmen Square directly before and
after the uprising. Scenes included
destroyed buses, burning tanks and a
soldier who was hanged by the crowd.
Jack Liu, president of the Friendship
Association, detailed his experiences
over the last five months. In May, he
by the Student Environmental Action
Coalition. The event will be held on
campus Oct. 27-29.
Jimmy Langman, an organizer for
the event, said the committee's major
goal is to strengthen the student envi
ronmental movement nationwide.
Fifty other groups from around the
country, as well as students from for
eign countries, are expected to attend,
he said.
The Threshold Conference is ex
pected to have a huge response because
of extensive publicity campaigns run
by the Campus Y. Brochures were sent

single) including furnishings, clubhouse with

Jeffrey Cannon, assistant dean of stu
dents, that he would be contacted by
Graduate Student Attorney General
Todd Harrell about the case. As of
Thursday, McKinley hadn't heard from
Harrell.
"I guess it's up to him (Harrell) as to
whether he proceeds or not, which is a
little surprising to me since it seemed
up to the assistant dean's office last
year," McKinley said.
McKinley said he had correspon
dence from Frederic Schroeder, dean
of students, to Scott Dratch, then gradu
ate student attorney general, in which
Schroeder asked Dratch to pursue the
case. "Schroeder was asking him to
basically do the case a very hard
prodding."
The University doesn't have a strong
case, McKinley said. "If they do decide
to bring it up, I'm not particularly
concerned as to what the end product
would be because I don't believe they
The system will also help find lost
and stolen permits, she said.
"This is definitely a step ahead for
our department. It is like coming from
the Stone Age to the Modern Age," Fox
said. "The new system will let officers
get up-to-date information while in the
field."
The ticket writers also will save
paperwork and time by eliminating
manual entry of ticket information into
the main computer and errors caused
by illegible handwriting, Fox said. "We
will definitely be saving time with the
new system."
Dennis Garrett, parking control
coordinator, said the new system will
enable officers to patrol areas more
effectively and open up more spaces in
the long run.
"With the new system, we will be
said, a group of about 30 UNC students
gathered to write a letter to the Chinese
Communist Party and the Chinese State
Department asking for freedom and
democracy.
Soon after, martial law was declared
in China. The first wave of support
from Chinese students across the coun
try was triggered, Liu said.
"Many people in several cities gave
their support after martial law."
The second wave of support was
sparked by the killings in Tiananmen
Square on June 3. The next day UNC
students from China, Hong Kong and
Taiwan met on campus, raising $3,000
for the families of the slain protesters.
A few weeks later, Liu traveled to
Washington, D.C., to protest with Chi
to campuses in Illinois, South Carolina
and Pennsylvania, and the Babcock
Foundation gave the Campus Y $5,000
to run national campaigns, Langman
said.
The conference will feature discus
sion sessions on preserving the envi
ronment and workshops on such sub
jects as recycling and rain forest pro
tection. A host of major environmental
speakers will be featured, including
Denis Hayes, chairman and CEO of
Earth Week 1990; Richard Grossman,

have much of a case in the first place.
"I would hope they would drop this
thing. It was just a fiasco the last time
they did it."
Harrell could not discuss specifics
of the case, but said an unresolved
student court case would not keep the
student involved from attending the
University. "Until somebody's case is
heard, they're presumed innocent until
proven guilty."
In the February 1988 incident,
McKinley and other students protested
outside the University Motor Inn room
of a CIA recruiter who had planned to
interview UNC students.
In April, eight students, including
McKinley, were arrested at Hanes Hall
after lying on the floor of University
Career Planning and Placement Serv
ices' working area and refusing official
orders to leave.
Five of the students arrested at the
second protest were found guilty of
able to easily check all lots and spaces
for correct permits," said John DeVitto,
director of transportation and parking.
"We can find repeat offenders and
remove them."
The new citations will be printed as
a receipt similar to that given out by a
cash register, Fox said. The ticket will
be sealed in an envelope that will be
placed on the vehicle. Appeals forms
will be on the envelope, she said.
"It will aid in ease of operation, it
will make us more efficient and it will
make it easier for us to do our jobs. In
the long run it will save money,"
DeVitto said.
Officers will not be able to use the
ticket writers to determine if a specific
permit belongs to a specific, vehicle,
Fox said. The system can check for this,
but the extra information permit and
nese college students from across the
country. Upon his return a memorial
service for those who died was held on
campus, followed by a march through
downtown Chapel Hill.
"At the memorial service Chancel
lor Hardin and (Student Body Presi
dent) Brien Lewis spoke. The media
was also there to cover it," he said.
At the end of July, Liu went to Chi
cago to attend a meeting of the First
Congress of Chinese Students in the
U.S., at which more than 200 major
universities were represented.
Also, Liu described the computer
network organized by the Federation of
Associations of Chinese Students. This
system, he said, links Chinese students
house Crisis Foundation.
Langman said he expects more than
1,000 people to turn out for the event.
"It could be the biggest student envi
ronmental event since Earth Day (a
1970 event which sparked environ
mental activism and the EPA)."
Other Campus Y events scheduled
are Crafts Fest, a three-day craft show
to be held Dec. 1-3 in the Great Hall of
the Student Union, and Footfalls, an
annual road race on Nov. 12, in which
proceeds from registrations, T-shirt
sales and donations will go to the
Campus Y.
The Human Rights Committee is in
the planning stages for organizing
Human Rights Week '89, said Teresa
Frazier, co-chairwoman of the com
mittee. "The main goal is to increase aware
ness in Chapel Hill, on campus and in
the community of human rights inter
ests such as PLO, rape, current issues
on abortion and Third World issues,"
she said.

in the Feb. 23 incident.
McKinley's first hearing was post
poned Oct. 20, 1988, when he walked
out on the court after it refused to allo
him to discuss CIA activities as part of
his defense.
McKinley's case was again post
poned Nov. 22, 1988, when the Gradu

rights had been violated. The court
reached the decision because although
the prosecutor in the case was not a

At this point permit trading is not a
major concern, she said. "People pay
for a permit and only one space is used
with it, so we do not find this to be-a
major problem," she said.
The main reason for upgrading the
system was to save time, manpower
and money, Fox said. The system's
installation is still incomplete, so the
total cost has not been released, but the
new system would pay for itself within
a year, she said.
