The Institute of Government may
have to cut $633,000 from its budget if
the N.C. General Assembly approves
the spending cuts proposed by its edu
cational subcommittees.
If the cuts are implemented, five
faculty members would have to be re
leased from the department, said John
Sanders, director of the institute.
The cuts are scheduled to be con
sidered in the appropriations committees
this week. If the cuts are approved by

niversity nets less tourney money
rom NCAA's new payment system
By Warren Hynes
Staff Writer
The UNC men's basketball team's
trip to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA
Tournament last year netted the school
a financial reward of more than
$845,000 from the NCAA.
But the squad's stampede to the
Final Four will probably bring it at
least $50,000 less this year.
CBS agreed this year to give the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso
ciation $1 billion in exchange for
broadcast rights to the tourney through
1997. Upon receiving this money,
NCAA officials decided to reform the
distribution of tournament revenue
among schools.
In previous years, NCAA allot
ments to conferences and schools de
pended on the success of that confer
ence and school in the NCAA Tour
nament, said ACC Assistant Com
missioner Tom Mickle.
Duke University and the Georgia
Institute of Technology both made
$1.1 million last year mainly because
they advanced to the Final Four. The

How sexual harassment is defined is
in the eye of the beholder, but now the
University is looking to clarify that
definition.
A sexual harassment survey was
conducted by the Office of the Dean of
Students in the fall of 1 990, finding that
91 percent of female undergraduate
students have encountered sexually
offensive behavior. Although 60 percent
said they had been treated in a sexually

the committee members, they will be
voted on by all members of the General
Assembly.
The education subcommittees are
recommending $59 million in new cuts
to the UNC system to help meet Gov.
Jim Martin's budget recommendation
of $1,125 billion in total cuts.
The cuts would go into effect July 1
if they are approved, Sanders said.
"There's no time to plan for (the cuts) or
work up to them," he said.
Legislators' attempts to cut the budget
without affecting university teachers
has resulted in harsher cuts in other
ACC's last-place team, Wake Forest
University, made $140,000 last year,
Mickle said. UNC brought in $845,544,
said Martina Ballen, the University's
director of athletic business and finance.
A new plan adopted by the NCAA
places less emphasis on a team's per
formance in the tournament and more
weight on the contribution of confer
ences and teams to basketball and col
lege athletics as a whole, said Louis
Spry, NCAA associate executive di
rector. There are two pools of revenue that
will be distributed by the NCAA. One
pool consists of flat amounts given to a
conference based on its performance in
the NCAA Tournament during the last
six years.
The ACC will receive $3,965,500
from this pool, more than any other
conference. This money will be dis
tributed equally among the ACC
schools.
The second pool consists of funds
given to each school by the NCAA.
These allotments are based on the
school's number of sports, scholarships,
full grants-in-aid and the amounts of

defined those actions as sexual harass

ment as staring and leering, sexual in
nuendoes, inappropriate propositions or
bribes or actions such as sexual activity,
said Annette Perot, a graduate student
who helped conduct the survey.
Some think of sexual harassment as
one person having power over another.
Others see it only as when sexual activity
is involved, she said.

"It shifts the burden to those not
involved directly in teaching," he said.
The budget cuts will affect non
teaching faculty the most, Sanders said.
"This is a mixed group administra
tors, researchers of people who do
not teach undergraduates," he said about
the institute.
The education subcommittees' rec
ommendations include a 10 percent cut
in the $3 million budget for non-teaching
faculty members. This cut would include
a $300,000 decrease in the Institute of
Government's faculty salaries and

"The breadth of your program is
now being supported rather than wins
and losses," he said. "It doesn't seem
unreasonable to me that the institu
tions that are putting the most into
their athletics are being rewarded for
it."
The ACC probably will receive $2
million from that pool, but the exact
allotments haven't been determined,
he said.
Mickle said each ACC basketball
team probably would receive at least
$750,000 from the NCAA. Duke, the
NCAA champion, will make about
the same amount as Clemson, the
ACC's last-place finisher.
The conference's'projected intake
of about $6 million is less than what
it would have received under the
former plan, Mickle said. The ACC
probably would have made between
$8 million and $9 million this year
based on its 13-5 tournament record,

"It's not about sexual desire, it's about
wanting power over someone."
Polly Guthrie, community education
and outreach coordinator at the Orange
County Rape Crisis Center, said sexual
harassment could be anything from a
lewd remark to rape.
When no sexual activity is involved,
people's attitudes are, "Oh well that's
not pleasant, but it's not really impor
tant," Guthrie said.

they don't really mean anything by it,"
benefits, he said.
But dismissing five employees would
not be easy, Sanders said. State employ
ees cannot be dismissed without sever
ance pay, he said.
"State law dictates that when some
one is terminated because we don't have
the money to pay them . . . they receive
severance pay in proportion to their
length of employment," he said.
The severance pay would come from
the Institute's budget. This would delay
the effects of the budget cuts by several
months because the Institute still would
be paying the same amounts for salaries,

.Human Resources department
to move to Airport Koad office
ByJoAnn Rodak
Staff Writer
Neil Sedaka sang that breaking up is
hard to do. But some related University
departments have discovered that get
ting back together is not nearly as hard.
Five of the six departments of the
Office of Human Resources will rejoin
when they move to the former Kron
Building at 725 Airport Rd. on Friday.
The departments have been scattered
around campus, mainly in Battle,
Pettigrew, Vance, Carr and South
buildings.
Now the departments of employment
counseling services, benefits, employee
services and training and development
will take up residence at the Airport
Road location.
The Human Resources administra
tion department will remain in Battle
and Vance, and Laurie Charest, associate
vice chancellor for the Office of Human
Resources, will stay in her South
Building office.
Some employees said the new loca
tion would make the offices more pub
licly accessible because it has designated
Perot said. That is why women don't
identify actions as sexual harassment.
"They just have the attitude that you
have to accept those kinds of things in
our society."
Perot said definitions of sexual ha
rassment differed because of myths in
society, myths like the one defining
harassment as only actual sexual activ
ity, or ignoring sexual harassment will
make it go away, she said.
O'Melia said the survey was done to
assess how big of a problem sexual
harassment was on campus so that the

he said.
Also being considered is a 7.5 per
cent cut in the area of community ser
vice programs, which includes the In
stitute of Government, Sanders said.
The General Assembly allots $4.1 mil
lion per year to the Institute, and this
would cut an additional $305,000 from
the department, he said.
A vacant supervisor's position with a
salary and benefits of $28,000 will be
eliminated at the Institute because of a
state mandate that all vacant positions
be eliminated, Sanders said.

By Soyia Ellison
Staff Writer
The Inter-Fraternity Council rejected
a proposal Tuesday night that would
have banned kegs and other shared
containers and the collection of money
for alcohol at fraternity functions.
The proposal also would have for
bidden fraternity chapters from spon
soring or financing functions where
alcohol is purchased by any chapter or
other organization.
The IFC's present alcohol risk man
agement policy allows the use of com
mon containers and collective funds if
the fraternity chapter's national policy
does not forbid them.
Lee Hark, IFC vice president, said
the vote was a substantial decision.
"It was interesting that even most
fraternities whose chapters don't allow
common containers voted against the
policy," he said.
IFC President Tim Taylor said other
schools had policies like the one the IFC
rejected.
"This amendment was radical," he
said. "It was taken from what many
other schools have done."
The council will continue to try to
improve the present alcohol policy, he
said. "From here we pull back and look
at the policy as it stands now and fine
tune it."
Some IFC members said the organi
zation needed a policy applying to all
parking.
In addition, a bus stop in front of the
building will increase public accessi
bility, said Ken Manwaring, director of
training and development.
The departments were joined to
centralize activities of five of the em
ployment offices, he said.
Kitty McCollum, director of benefits,
said the move had been planned for
several months.
The benefits department, which now
will handle benefits for faculty members
and employees protected under the State
Personnel Act, had offices in both Can
Building and Vance Hall, McCollum
said. The offices will consolidate at
Airport Road.
"We're happy to get the benefits staff
together," she said. "It's a real plus."
Although the new location could be
inconvenient for people working on
campus, the department plans to find an
on-campus location for people to pick
up claims forms, possibly in the Battle
VancePettigrew area, McCollum said.
Manwaring said he was ready for the
move, which will affect four employees

University could better approach it.
Perot said the main purpose of the
survey was to collect some data where
the Office of the Dean of Students felt
there was a problem. This research
should add to the literature on sexual
harassment, she said. The survey will
educate people about their tolerance
levels and about the types of behaviors
that degrade people.

ticipants said they had been sexually

well as the other schools in the UNC

is an integral part of UNC-Chapel Hill,"
he said.
Sanders said he was not sure how he
would make the $633,000 cut if it was
required. He said he did not think
members of the education subcommit
tees were aware of the cuts' effects on
the Institute of Government.

nities an equal advantage when re
cruiting pledges.
One representative said, "I think rush
is something that's taken seriously and
everyone should be on a equal plane."
Taylor said he would draft a proposal
before the IFC's April 16 meeting for
bidding common containers and col
lective funds during rush.
The council also voted against al
lowing a fraternity accused of a policy
violation to know who accused them.
Under the present policy, only the
IFC executive body is aware of who
makes an accusation, Taylor said.
One fraternity representative said if
fraternities knew who had accused them
of an infraction, there would be strained
relationships between the suspect and
the accused.
"I feel this is the only way it can be
done without it getting out of hand," he
said.
IFC members also passed a proposal
that would require each new pledge

available.
