Candidates for student body presi
dent presented their views on the re
cruitment and retention of minority
faculty members and students at
Wednesday night's forum sponsored
by the Black Student Movement (BSM).
The candidates present for the forum
were Mark Bibbs, Bill Hildebolt, John
Lomax and Jonathan Martin. Candi
date Mike Strickland did not attend.
The candidates presented their plat
forms and fielded questions from the
BSM Central Committee and others.
Bibbs said the key to recruiting and
keeping minority undergraduates was
the establishment of a minority affairs
department. The department should
have a dean and two associate deans,
one of which would be in charge of
recruiting minorities while the other
would be in charge of keeping the stu
dents at UNC.
"We need a minority affairs depart
ment to look after black students and

Native Americans and Asians; we need
someone who's going to be there to
help us through this university," he
said.
UNC loses 50 percent of its minori
ties before they graduate, while it keeps
75 percent of the white students, Bibbs
said. "There's something wrong. We
need better retention programs. We need
someone specifically in charge of re
tention so we can keep the students
here. That's w hat we need for minority
recruitment and retention."
Hildebolt said the problems involv
ing the recruitment and retention of
minority faculty members were similar
to those encountered in dealing with all
faculty members.
"As far as getting more minority
faculty members here, the whole ques
tion comes back to money. All the
faculty are leaving in droves because
faculty pay is such a problem, and that's
something we have to deal with across
the board."
UNC could be made more attractive
to minorities who are considering a job
at the University if the African Ameri
can curriculum is made a department,
Hildebolt said.
"I've tried to get people to start talk
ing about the fact that their (African
American curriculum) quarters are so
cramped and inconvenient. To move
the curriculum into a department, we
should bring to attention the longevity
of the curriculum and its lack of space."
Lomax said it was important to bring
minority faculty members to UNC in a
variety of academic departments, in
addition to the African American cur
riculum. "We don't want to only bring profes
sors in just to teach Af-Am curriculum.

Candidates for co-editors of The
Daily Tar Heel answered questions
concerning better relations with cam
pus organizations and ways of improv
ing office atmosphere for better re
cruitment of minority students at a
forum Wednesday sponsored by the
Black Student Movement (BSM).
The co-editor candidate teams of
Jessica Lanning and Kelly Thompson
and of Mary Jo Dunnington and Wil
liam Taggart were present at the forum,
as were candidates for president of the
Carolina Athletic Association (CAA)
and Residence I lall Association (Rl IA).
Lanning and Thompson said they
would improve beat coverage with
campus organizations so the newspa
per could have accurate event cover
age. " "The beat reporters are really neces
sary because when you are on deadline,
you need someone who understands
the organization," Thompson said.
"What we want to do is go in and
figure out where we think we need
beats and then have our reporters sign
up for the ones they're interested in."
Lanning and Thompson said they
w ould expand the Campus Calendar to
include all organizations events
The new position of an ombudsman
would work with students on their
complaints and also help with recruit
ment of minority students, Lanning said.
Lanning and Thompson said they
would move the editor's desk into the
newsroom so they would be accessible
to writers.
They said they would keep the of fice
open on Saturdays so new writers could
work on their writing skills or on spe
cial projects. The team also wants more
staff social events to increase office
comfort.
Lanning and Thompson said they
would move arts stories to Omnibus,
allowing better event coverage of
prominent organizations on campus.
Dunnington and Taggart agreed with
the need for someone at the newspaper
to receive feedback from the student
body, but they said they felt that person
should be the editor and not a third
party.
"We feel like that you're electing us
as editors and we don't need another
editor to go meet with you," Dunning
ton said. "We need to go meet with
you."
Dunnington and Taggart said they
would meet with the various campus
organizations to find out what prob
lems the groups are having with the
paper and what future events the DTH
can cover.
Addressing the issue of staff compo
sition, Dunnington said, "(We would)
go to some of the meetings and make a
short presentation to make sure that
members of those groups know that
regardless of their background or jour
nalistic experience, they are welcome
to apply."
The tense atmosphere of deadlines
can sometimes be stressful on writers,
and this can hinder the recruitment of
all writers, including minority writers,
Dunnington said.
"Because there are two of us, we
want to take the time to meet new
writers and let them know our door will
be open to them if they have a problem
with their desk editors or just want to
talk."
Candidates for CAA president dis
cussed their plans for involving more
minority students and campus organi
zations in homecoming events.
Lisa Frye, who is running for re
election as CAA president, said she
didn't think homecoming events were
diverse enough.
"I plan to meet with different organi
zations after the election and ask them
what they want. The problem is we've
had to try to take traditional events and

Native Americao Swed as visitimig Ihistoiry professor
By TERESA M. JEFFERSON
Staff Writer
The University recently hired its first
Native American Faculty member, a
retired Pembroke State University
(PSU) professor who will be a visiting
professor in the history department next
year.
Students and administrators ap
plauded the move but said they would
continue efforts to get the University to
hire full-time Native American faculty
members.
Adolph Dial, a 67-year-old retired
chairman and professor of American
Indian studies at PSU, will teach in the
history department in the next academic
year.
Dial, a Lumbee Indian and organizer
of the American studies department at
PSU, is scheduled to teach two of the
first courses on Native American his
tory at the University.
"It's a first step," said Gerhard
Weinberg, professor and acting chair
man of the history department, who
aided in establishing this temporary
position. "We want to see the response
and the interest of the students to these
first courses. We'll study them and go
from there to see about integrating it
into our course offerings on a long
term basis."
Dial, w ho said he looked forward to
initiating a program here, said he was
denied admittance to UNC's graduate
school in the late 1940s because of his
race.
"The school's statement was that
they didn't enroll Indians from Robe-
son County. It was very interesting, to
say the least, not to be admitted to the
state school of my choice after graduat
ing cum laude from Pembroke Univer
sity and returning from World War II
with six battle stars."
Dial tried to enroll at the University
of South Carolina but was told he would
be denied if UNC would not admit him.
He was instead admitted to Colo
rado State University and later earned
his master's degree from Boston Uni
versity.
"I never walked around with a chip
on my shoulder," he said. "I remember
when bathrooms read white, colored
and Indian. Times seem to be getting
better around the world."
Dana Lumsden, director of minority
and women's affairs for student gov
ernment, said his organization had been
working to recruit a permanent Native
American faculty member and aca
demic adviser by 1992 and had met
many obstacles.
"I see Dial's hiring as a definite
stepping stone, but it shouldn't be touted
as a giant step. One Native American
visiting professor is fine, but why not
five. The whole situation is ludicrous.
It is a shame there haven't been any
more. Hopefully his appointment will
encourage the increasing of minority
faculty presence."
Gillian Cell, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences, said she also sup

Cavaliers hold on for liar Heels siso stellar recruiting class
81-80 win over UNC

Kroc would be proud. With 8,864
people being served in University Hall,
the Golden Arches were everywhere.
Some of these were in the McDonald's
ads hanging on the walls.
Primarily though, most of those
golden arches came off the fingertips of
Virginia's John Crotty, Bryant Stith
and Kenny Turner, who proudly, but
barely, led the Cavaliers to an 81-80
victory over UNC last night in Charlot
tesville. Though the Cavaliers (15-7, 4-6)
held the lead throughout the game, they
nearly choked it away by missing the
front end of three one-and-one oppor
tunities in the last 31 seconds, any of
which would have at least clinched a
tie.
After Stith missed a toss from the

Mack Brown and the UNC foot
ball team may have gotten walloped
on the field this year, but since the
Tar Heels' 1-10 season ended in
December, Brown has been the one
doing the walloping off of it.
In a press conference held Wednes
day afternoon, the third-year head
coach discussed what is undoubtedly
the strongest recruiting class he has
had in his tenure at UNC.
Brown signed a total of 22 high
school seniors Wednesday the first
day recruits could put their commit
ments in writing and the crop he
assembled has been rated the nation's
ninth best by Super Prep magazine.
Brown's group is also tops in the
state of North Carolina by far.
According to rankings by both The
(Raleigh) News and Observer and
The Charlotte Observer, UNC gar
nered 1 3 of the top 25 prospects in the
state. No other school had more than
two signers from either list.
"I think we've built a solid foun
dation in the state in recruiting,"
Brown said. "Even though it's proba
bly hurt us some nationally in recruit
ing because we spent so much time in
the state, I think it's paid off for us
more this year than the previous two
years because we've been here longer.
"This year, most of the players we
wanted in-state we got."
Among UNC's 1 6 in-state recruits,
Brow n landed Richmond County All
Americas Mike Thomas and Oscar
Stureis. Thomas, a 6-foot-3, 215-
pound quarterback and punter named
state high school player of the year, is
considered the No. 3 quarterback in
the nation by Super Prep and is USA
