UNC's CIA Action Committee
(CI AAC) has sent a letter to the dean of
the law school asking that the CIA not
be allowed to recruit on campus be
cause of what they called discrimina
tory hiring practices against homosexu
als. A law professor said this week that
the CIAAC may have a strong legal
basis in its case.
"Not only is the CIA guilty of law
breaking, but it is also guilty of dis
criminatory hiring practices," wrote
CIAAC member Dale McKinley in a
letter to Judith Wegner, dean of the law
school. "The CIA has made it well
known that they do not consider lesbi
ans and gays to be 'recruitable mate
rial.' "The law school (in the past) has
denied recruiting privileges to certain
firms who were practicing racial and
sex discrimination. It seems that in the
case of the CIA a double standard is in

But Wegner said she knew of no
examples of firms that the University
has banned from campus. "Discrimina
tion is something we deal with when it
comes up during interviews," she said.
"So far we have had no complaints
(from interviewees) about the CIA."
Wegner said she did not foresee
canceling the CIA's visit to campus,
although the law school will review the
school's discrimination policy for next
year. "My understanding now is that
the University policy does not extend
to sexual preference," she said. "But
we will be looking at it again."
In response, McKinley said, "We've
looked at the University's policies
regarding discrimination. Even though
we have not found an explicit reference
to (bias against homosexuals) that is no
excuse to ignore it. If she (Wegner) is
trying to get away without addressing
the issue, that is a slap in the face to the
gay and lesbian community."

swered questions.
Bradford said he wanted to work out
a ticket distribution policy that would
appeal to students' wishes. One policy
would be made and announced to stu
dents by the end of the spring semester
and would not be changed without
adequate notice. Bradford said he be
lieved the confusion at last November's
Duke ticket distribution was the result
of changing the policy without notify
ing students.
Bradford also said he believed that
poor showings at non-revenue sports
events were because of lack of public
ity about game times. He proposed to
put a sign in the Pit and at a South
Campus location that would list every
game and would be changed weekly.
He said that he could see there was not
enough support for non-revenue games
and that one way to get more student
support would be through advertising.
Frye said she believed the CAA failed
with the Duke ticket distribution be
cause it was not sufficiently publicized.
Frye said she was already beginning to
solve the problem by polling students
and writing to other universities for
ideas. She said she would focus on
creating a policy that students would be
educated about and one that would work
toward the needs of the students.

Pit session addresses higher out-of-state percentage
By MYRON B. PITTS
Staff Writer
Students in the Pit Tuesday after
noon told Student Body President Brien
Lewis that they favored increased out-of-state
enrollment but had mixed opin
ions on increasing overall enrollment
to accommodate more out-of-state stu
dents. Lewis focused on the issue in a "Pit
Side Chat" after the UNC Board of
Trustees (BOT) Thursday discussed a
possible increase in the number of out-of-state
students. The percentage of
out-of-state students enrolled is now at
18 percent, having been raised from 15
percent in 1984.

A long-range University building and
campus growth plan is being formu
lated by a special committee, John
Sanders, chairman of the Buildings and
Grounds Committee, said this week.
Sanders said that a plan detailing the
placement of buildings and the direc
tion of University growth would be
devised by a special committee com
prising students, faculty and adminis
trators. If completed and approved by
the Board of Trustees (BOT), it will be
the first definite building plan for the
University since 1920, he said.
The original long-range proposal was
drafted after World War I when it was
decided that UNC would need more
OA of anti-gay recruitment policy
law, said he thought the CIAAC was on
firm legal ground with its request that
the CIA be banned from recruiting at
UNC for its alleged anti-homosexual
hiring policy. "There are a lot of prece
dents for it," he said.
He cited Georgetown University as
an example. "My understanding is that
the CIA and FBI can no longer inter
view there. (Georgetown's) gay lib
organization won a lawsuit against the
university," he said.
McKinley said the CIA would not
publicly admit to discrimination. "We
can't cite a source because one is not
available. The CIA is not going to re
lease that information. However, our
study of the CIA suggests that they
follow themilitary'sguidelines in many
areas, including employment."
McKinley said there have been many
instances of discrimination against
homosexuals in military employment.

SBP contenders tackle campus security
By JASON KELLY
Assistant University Editor
Campus safety concerns and po
tential uses for a proposed 35-cent
increase in student fees for SAFE
Escort were among issues debated
by student body president candidates
at Carmichael Residence Hall Tues
day night.
Candidates Bill Hildebolt, Mark
Bibbs, Jonathan Martin and John
Lomax attended the forum. Candi
date Mike Strickland did not attend.
The Carmichael forum was one of
two held last night. The Black Stu
dent Movement also sponsored a later
forum in Granville Towers.
A referendum proposing the 35
cent increase in fees will appear on
the Feb. 20 elections ballot. The fees
would go to pay members of SAFE
Escort to walk students from campus
libraries between the hours of mid
night and 3 a.m. hours when Davis
and Undergraduate libraries are open
but SAFE Escort is not.
Hildebolt said students do not use
all of the existing security measures
available to them. "Many security
measures are there if the students
care to use them like locking their
doors. Security comes back to the
individual."
The major security improvement
needed on campus is a change in the
present condition of the University
police, Hildebolt said. "What is a
guy who is from traffic ticketing
(Acting Public Safety Director John
DeVitto, formerly transportation and
parking services director) doing

does he know about running a police
force? We need to get them (Univer-
T.J. Rohr, a junior from Chapel Hill
who was accepted as an out-of-state
applicant, said he supported an in
creased out-of-state percentage, but not
one as high as the 35 percent enroll
ment at the University of Virginia
(UVa.). "A higher increase would in
crease the diversity (of UNC). We ought
to raise it a little, but not up to 35
percent."
Chancellor Paul Hardin had men
tioned UVa.'s out-of-state percentage
as a basis of comparison at last week's
board meeting.
When asked by Lewis to propose a
specific percentage, Rohr said it would
be difficult to set a definite figure be-

space, Sanders said. In compliance with
the plan, the University gradually ex
panded southward across Cameron
Avenue.
"What they (UNC officials) were
trying to do was to make an orderly
plan rather than just drop buildings
down here and there. By 1 950 all of that
plan had been carried out," Sanders
said.
After 1950, the University aban
doned a definite building plan and
placed new structures where they would
be needed and as centrally located as
possible.
"Instead of then drawing up a new
long-range plan to look several years
into the future, we (the University)
tended to react as each new building
them.
"We tried to get the administration
to allow us to hold a public debate with
the CIA so students can hear both sides,
but the University hasn't responded."
McKinley said that when approached,
the CIA refused a debate. "It seems that
they do not want to make their views
public," he said.
CIAAC member Joey Templeton
said she doubted that the administra
tion would answer the CI AAC's charge.
"Chancellor Hardin has made it obvi
ous that he wants nothing to do with the
CIAAC," she said.
McKinley said he was disappointed
with Chancellor Hardin's past response
to the CIAAC. "We've requested
meetings with him, and he just brushed
us off."
The CIAAC would rather have a
productive meeting with Hardin than
demonstrate, he said. "That has always
been our position. We have attempted
to have meetings with Hardin and be

sity police) back in order."
Hildebolt said many security prob
lems come not from students, but from
off campus. "It should be more difficult
for outsiders to get on campus."
Bibbs said he would change SAFE
Escort to include two escorts walking
people to their residence halls. "Having
two escorts, including a female escort,
would be better because some females
who would call SAFE Escort feel that
the escort might be just as bad as the
cause the number of applicants fluctu
ates each year.
A year in which UNC received a
high number of out-of-state applicants
would require the University to accept
a correspondingly high number of out-of-state
students, he said.
A 25 percent out-of-state enrollment
percentage might be a workable figure,
Rohr said.
Lewis told the crowd the issue was a
"hot topic" in the BOT, and one stu
dents should be concerned with. "This
is an issue that the student body should
get some input on, because it decides
who is going to be your peers."
He also told students about the BOT
need or opportunity came along. The
result was the University didn't have a
comprehensive long-range plan as to
how to use the space and the land it had
better," Sanders said.
In the post-plan era, occasionally a
building would be placed next to an
other, allowing no room for expansion
by the latter facility. But most of the
decisions about where to place build
ings were not necessarily unsound, he
added.
"That isn't to say the decisions made
were not sensible or responsible; the
people involved did the best they could."
Joe Andronaco, student body vice
president, said a long-range plan was
needed to avoid some of the poorly
planned building placement decision?
topher) Fordham, but these attempts
have been stymied every time. Obvi
ously the next step is to protest."
Templeton said the CIAAC planned
to hold a public gathering outside South
Building today. "We'll be meeting in
the Pit a little before 2 (p.m.) and walk
ing up there (to South Building)."
McKinley said if the administration
responds negatively to the CIAAC's
request, or doesn't respond at all, the
group plans to hold a vigil Friday at the
law school, where the interviews will
be taking place. McKinley said as of
Tuesday he had heard nothing from the
law school.
At the request of the CIAAC, the
University has agreed to allow the group
to look at information "with regards to
work performed by state employees
outside of normal University duties."
McKinley said CIAAC members would
examine the records on Thursday.
"Obviously, given our viewpoints
on the CIA as an unlawful organiza
tion, we feel it is important to know if
rapist."
Using golf carts to take students back
to their residence halls would also add
to the program, he said. "UNC-Char-lotte
uses golf carts, and I would like to
see this brought to Carolina. Escorts
might not mind driving someone back
to South Campus, and even have a little
fun in the process."
Bibbs added that he would like to use
some of the money that would be left
over from the referendum towards other
meeting and Hardin's support of the
increase in out-of-state students for the
sake of diversity.
One student said he supported in
creasing the out-of-state enrol lment cap
to 20 percent. He added that a decline in
the applicant pool would mean that the
University would be forced to accept
more students from outside North Caro
lina, he said.
Lewis noted that the decrease in
college applicants represented a na
tional trend, and he asked the crowd
about its opinion on an overall increase
in the size of the student body, which

of the past and cure the "nearsighted
ness" of the University's building prac
tices. "I think the University has been
myopic in its development in a lot of
ways," he said.
Sanders said the placement of Davis
Library, which was built on an old
baseball diamond, was one example of
a building that possibly could have
been better located.
"It may well be the best place it could
have been built, but it was not built with
reference to how the University might
develop over the next 10 (years) to 20
years," he said. "The point is, a lot of ad

them," he said.
He said the CIAAC would make
plans for action after obtaining the
requested information. "I'm not yet
aware of what might be going on and
where it might be happening," he said.
"This information is not just for us,
but for the student body," McKinley
said. "Once we get hold of the it, it
definitely will be made public. De
pending on the character of the work
being done, we may target certain proj
ects." Susan Ehringhaus, assistant to the
chancellor, said she had no objection to
releasing the documents. "He (McKin
ley) has asked for records of faculty
members' consulting forms," she said.
"They are public documents."
Ehringhaus said she did not know of
any UNC employees involved with the
CIA. "But if someone wants to take the
time to look through thousands of forms,
that is certainly his prerogative," she
said.

many thefts from lockers in Woollen
Gym, and that's a security need as
well."
Martin said he would set up a
committee to put the money to the
best possible use if the 35-cent refer
endum passes. "I served on the safety
walk committee, and I feel good about
the 35-cent increase in student fees.M
