; Panel to select education dean
Chancellor Paul Hardin has
brmed a search committee to assist
in the recruitment and selection of a
new dean for UNC's School of
Education.
The need for a new dean arose in
December when Frank Brown, dean
of the school, announced his resig
nation. Brown will remain a part of
the school and will return to full
time teaching and research at the
end of the academic year.
The search for the new dean will
begin next week. Hardin set the
committee's first deadline at June
30, when it is to submit a list of three
candidates.
The committee will be led by
Edward Holley and William R.
Kenan Jr., professor and dean emeri
tus, respectively, of the Department
of Library and Information Science.
Campaign director named
Robert Sweeney, associate vice
chancellor for development, has been
named director of UNC's Bicenten
nial Campaign.
The campaign is a five-year fund-
raising effort. All money raised will
provide new resources for learning
and teaching.
Sweeney will provide leadership
and will be successful in fund rais
ing, said Gary Evans, vice chancel
lor for development and University
relations.
Sweeney will serve as the chief
operating officer and will be respon
sible for the campaign's strategies
and programs.
As associate vice chancellor.
Sweeney has been responsible for
planning and organizing the
University's development program,
which includes annual contributions,
capital and planned contributions as
well as corporate and foundation
relations.
Sweeney came to the University
in 1987 from Loyola College in
Baltimore, Md., where he had served
as vice president for development
and public relations since 1981.
During Sweeney's tenure,
Loyola's development program
received numerous awards for fund
raising and advancement from the
Council for the Advancement and
Support of Education.

Holly Pierson, a junior political sci

confirmed as student attorney general
at Wednesday's Student Congress
meeting.
Student Body President Brien Lewis
appointed Pierson on the recommenda
tion of former Attorney General Vir
ginia Mewbourne.
Pierson's appointment will take ef
fect March 1.
Mewbourne said she recommended
Pierson because she was the most quali
fied candidate for the job. "She's got
the experience. She's the most quali
fied of our staff. The application was
outstanding. She's got a lot of ideas for
improvement."
Mewbourne said that this year there
will be an improvement in relations
between faculty members and Honor
Court staff members. "It doesn't work
without them. We've hit students this
year ... now it's time to look at faculty."
Pierson said it would be hard to

U.S. Senate candidate Gantt
By CRYSTAL BERNSTEIN
Staff Writer
U.S. Senate hopeful Harvey Gantt
spoke to a group of about 100 students
Thursday in the Union about generat
ing optimism for the future of America
and preparing the country for competi
tion with other industrial nations.
Gantt, an architect and businessman
from Charlotte, is a member of the N.C.
State Executive Council, served more
than two years on city council and two
terms as mayor. He will compete with
Bo Thomas, Mike Easley and John
Ingram for the Democratic nomina
tion. "I am in this race because I believe in
the promise of this country," he said,
emphasizing the importance of a posi
tive outlook.

ments, particularly the establishment
of the Office of the Associate Attorney
General, which deals with publicity
and educating the University commu
nity about the honor system. "I don't
know how anyone ever got along with
out it," Pierson said.
Pierson said she felt confident in her
experience. She served on the attorney
general's staff for one year and as an
assistant attorney general for one year.
"I really feel like I've given this system
a lot of blood, sweat and tears. It can be
a very trying job at times."
Pierson said she applied for the
position of attorney general because
she genuinely believes in the Honor
Code and can give the commitment
necessary for the job. She said she
believed the Honor Code was still in
good shape. "When we quit getting
cases, then I'll start to worry about it,"
she said.
Faculty members need to be more
aware of their responsibilities to the
Honor Code, Pierson said. She said her
main concern during her term would be

"What I see today troubles me. We

doesn't believe the opportunities of our

With current political unrest in East
ern Europe, the government has an
unprecedented chance to make bold

Gantt said. Without the threat of nu

the future of the nation, he said.
The government needs to redirect
funds from the construction of stealth

A trip to Nicaragua during elections
a scary experience? Not necessarily,
said members of a delegation bound for
Chapel Hill's sister city, San Jorge.
The 16-memberdelegation will leave
for San Jorge on Feb. 17..
"Nicaragua is conducting democracy
when democracy is breaking out all
over the world," said Gil Joseph, a
member of the delegation and a UNC
history professor.
"I'm definitely not afraid for my
safety. We're not going to be in the area
where the Contra army will be waging
attacks in northern Nicaragua. We'll be
in southern Nicaragua," Joseph said.
San Jorge, a town of less than 5,000
people, is on the Costa Rican border.
The mission of the delegation is to offer
aid from the Chapel Hill community.

Former Insurance Commissioner
John Ingram became the last Demo
cratic candidate to file for the U.S.
Senate race, but representatives for each
of the other three candidates fighting to
face Sen. Jesse Helms say the last
minute entry will not be a factor in their
campaigns.
"We don't see Ingram as a viable
candidate, and we don't take him seri
ously," said Bob McCarson, press sec
retary for state Sen. R.P. "Bo" Thomas.
"Our message isn't going to change at
all."
On the final day for candidates to file

and services and pull together for the
good of the country, he said.
College students, with their fresh
approach and innovative ideas, need to
address current ills of society such as
homelessness, drugs and the "middle
class squeeze" to make America com
petitive in the future, he said.
Sen. Jesse Helms no longer recog
nizes the issues important to North
Carolina, Gantt said. "He is so irrele
vant to the times ... 1 8 years in office is
enough, and we need to retire him by a
committed effort.
"We need a new kind of senator to
stand up for what he or she believes and
express the interests of average, hard
working North Carolinians. That's what
Jesse Helms simply has not done."

The approval of a waiver request
in the Senate Bill 2 by the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro Education Board
would allow uncertified individuals
to teach in the city schools.
Senate Bill 2 allows each school
district to set its own goals for prog
ress and improvement within limita
tions, said Tony Copeland, council to
the N.C. State S uperintendent of Edu
cation. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board
of Education must approve the Sen
ate Bill 2 package, and then the pack
age will be sent to the N.C. Depart
ment of Public Education, Copeland
said. The package includes merit-pay
plans for teachers and administra
tors, a set of student-performance
goals and state funding.
Randy Marshall, principal of
Carrboro Elementary School , said his
school asked for the waiver. He said
hiring uncertified teachers was an al
ternative to dropping courses because
a certified teacher cannot be found.
"Having acertificate does not mean
you will have an effective teacher,"
Marshall said. There are a lot of
preschool teachers with experience
but lack education courses that are
"The goal of the relationship is to
encourage good will between the two
Americas," Joseph said.
Chapel Hill is raising money to build
a high school for San Jorge residents.
So far, $3,000 of the $7,000 necessary
to build the school has been raised.
"It doesn't sound like it would build
more than a garage, does it?" said Joe
Straley, UNC professor emeritus of
physics and a delegation member. "If
you're making a comparison, think in
the model of Habitat for Humanity. I
expect that most of the work is going to
be free. I think this will be phase one of
a project that we will help them with
later."
Straley said the total amount of
money raised for the school will be
spent on building supplies, and each
delegate will pay for any personal
expenses incurred on the trip.

Board of Elections said.
'This campaign will be about God

in insurance and education for our chil

sister city
The changes taking place in South -America
and personal contacts made irt ;
San Jorge by Catherine McLeod, a UNC
graduate, led to the choosing of the city,
as Chapel Hill's sister city, Joseph said;-
San Jorge is much smaller than:
Chapel Hill, but "in the hierarchy of
cities, it stands in about the same rela-;
tionship scale that Chapel Hill is in
here," Straley said. :
"It is a developing third world city
with the possibility of being much larger
in relatively few years. It has the poten-;
tial for being a kind of first world city -regardless
of what happens elsewhere
there." ;'.
Straley said the sister city relation

cities make of it. It's like marriage.'

In 1978 Ingram was the Democratic
nominee against Helms. Helms defeated
Ingram with 55 percent of the total vote
in the general election.
In the 1980s, Ingram's political
success weakened. He finished last in
the Democratic primary for governor
in 1984 and second in the Democratic
primary for the Senate in 1986.
McCarson called Ingram a recurrent
candidate.
"He keeps appearing in the political
scene. When he loses this primary, will
he run for governor again in 1992?"
Representatives for the other Demo
cratic candidates, District Attorney
Michael Easley of Southport and for

said they didn't think Ingram's candi
