Police officers succeed
in promotion grievance
By STEPHANIE JOHNSTON
Staff Writer
Three University police officers have
been awarded back pay and promo
tions as a result of a grievance they filed
against the University, and a fourth
officer has been promoted only.
Officers Ollie Bowler, James Las
siter and Lonnie Sexton filed a griev
ance March 22, 1989 protesting the
method of granting promotions in the
Department of Public Safety. Officer
A.J. Womble initially filed with the
three officers but later filed a separate
grievance.
"There was an opening for a promo
tion (to lieutenant) in March of 1989,"
said Alan McSurely, attorney for the
four officers. "Six or seven people put
in for the promotion. (Willie) Bell got
it. Four of the others felt it was done in
an unfair manner."
Sexton and Bowler will receive the
difference in salaries between their
previous positions and a lieutenant's
Fledgling democracies

Communist domination of the So
viet Bloc nations came to an end in
1989, but each country faces a myriad
of crises and potential crises that
threaten the newfound freedom.
"It seems that democracy is a magic
wand you wave and everyone becomes
a prince or princess," said Steven Lev
ine, visiting professor of political sci
ence at UNC. "But it's just the first step
of a long, hard path."

Officer Lassiter is not receiving back

McSurely said Womble filed a sepa

"Womble was a different case. He
had been made a sergeant when he put

was acting as a sergeant but not being

UNC departments, services cope with shortage

This month's severe state budget cuts
have sent UNC reeling hitting eve

Utility rate increases and the
University's bicentennial celebration
spell lights out for planned renovations
for Graham and Aycock Residence
Halls, at least for the next few years.
"A re-examination of our financial
situation shows we can't afford to do
any renovations next year (on Olde
Campus residence halls)," Housing
Director Wayne Kuncl said Wednes
day. Graham Hall was scheduled to be
renovated in 1990-9 1 and Aycock Hall
the following year to complete a total
renovation of all nine Old Campus
residence halls that began in 1986. The
renovations were being funded by stu
dent rent with no federal or state assis
tance, Kuncl said.
But those dollars used to fund the
renovations were eaten up by the rate
increases. The utility rate increases

For 10 minutes Wednesday night
at the Smith Center, the Duke Blue
Devils couldn't find the basket with
a map and a compass; the UNC
defense had plenty to do with that.
For 10 more minutes, the Tar
Heels showed the way to the hoop
with a spectacular offensive display
that sent 21,572 kicking, cursing,
screaming, brick-waving, newspaper-holding,
towel-waving North
Carolina fanatics into a frenzy.
In a 40-minute, nationally-televised
basketball game, all that added
up to a resounding 79-60 UNC vic
tory over the No. 8 Blue Devils. The
Tar Heels upped their record to 12
6, 2-1 in the ACC; Duke dropped to
12-3, 3-1 in conference play.
Call it Late Night With King Rice;
showtime was 9 p.m., save your
ticket stubs.
UNC's junior point guard set the
tone at both ends of the floor, all but
undressing Duke's highly touted
rookie point guard, Bobby Hurley.
Rice poured in 13 points, second on
the team to Rick Fox's 19, and dished
out nine assists against an aggres
sive Blue Devil defense.
At the other end of the court, if
Rice was the King, Hurley was cer
tainly the serf. Rice, with some help
from the crowd, hounded Duke's
frustrated frosh from baseline to
baseline. The result? A whopping
10 turnovers and only one assist
from Hurley, who entered the game
with 101 assists and 56 turnovers.
"King controlled the game on both
offense and defense," Fox said. "He
realy did a job on (Hurley). This
was King's game."
Rice, who has been a target of
media criticism in the past and pres
ent, came through for the second
year in a row against Duke. Last
year, at Cameron Indoor Stadium,
Rice had one of the best games of his
career as UNC upset the No. 1 Blue
Devils 91-71.
"Maybe some guards have been
playing better than me," Rice said.
"But I'm not intimidated by any
guard in this league. Coach Smith

equipment purchases, supply use and
outside speakers, but the situation has
not yet reached emergency status,
department chairmen said Wednesday.
"It's easy to say we're in good shape
in January," said John Florin, chairman
of the geography department. "Ask me
again in May; with exams, we may
have to ask for some help."
Departments are generally in ade
quate financial shape, and undergradu
came too late last year for the depart
ment to pass the increase on to students
for the 1989-90 year, and the depart
ment had to absorb the costs, Kuncl
said. However, those rate increases will
be reflected in a projected 10 percent
rent increase for the 1990-91 school
year, according to Kuncl.
Kuncl said in a Nov. 22 letter to
residence hall students and housing
employees that the housing department
utility expenditures have the potential
of topping the $3 million mark in two to
three years an annual increase of $ 1
million.
The rate increases and spiraling costs
of renovation about a million dollars
per hall caused the department to
renovate only one hall, Stacy, this year
and to put Graham and Aycock Halls
on the back burner.
The University's bicentennial has
shifted the focus of renovation to Old
East and Old West. Old East is the
cellor for business and finance, the
administration has had problems fill
ing the human resources position be
cause it is looking for minority or
women candidates.

ates probably will not be affected by the
cuts, chairmen said.
"Students should see no impact in
the philosophy department," said de
partment chairman Gerald Postema.
"We're in as good a shape as we can
be expected to be," Florin said. "But the
last person affected will be the under
graduate in class. There will be more
impact on the graduate level."
UCPPS has been forced to reduce its
nation's oldest public university build
ing and will be one of the centerpieces
of the University's celebrations in 1 993.
The renovation and restoration of
Old East is expected to cost twice as
much as a normal renovation because
certain requirements to preserve its
historic quality must be met since it is
on the registry of national historic sites,
Kuncl said.
According to Kuncl, the housing
department is considering two time
tables for renovating Old East and Old
West. One plan would have the build
ings renovated in time for the
University's bicentennial celebrations.
Another option is to launch the renova
tions as part of the bicentennial cele
bration. In either case, Kuncl hopes to offset
costs through donations. "We really
shouldn't place all of the costs of reno-
