The No. Summer By Matthew Eisley Associate Editor The Summer Student Congress passed a resolution Tuesday calling for the termination of student funding of the Carolina Gay and Lesbian Associa tion after an hour and a half of heated debate and parliamentary jousting. The resolution, which put the opin ion of the summer congress on the record, was meant to encourage the full student congress to provide no student fee money to the CGLA during spring budget hearings, said Congress Speaker Tim Moore, its primary sponsor. Last year the CGLA received about $2,000.

The school's faculty unanimously approved the heavier teaching load as part of a two-year plan that also calls for faculty members to increase their public service and to raise money for the school, said Barbara Day, chair woman of curriculum and instruction at the school. : .

When asked this question, students often have to whip out a plastic school ID, semester reg istrat ion card, meal card, athletic pass, library copier card andor bus pass, in addition to their driver's license, credit cards and other forms of ID.

"I'm simply trying to adhere to the letter of the law." Moore said the CGLA advocates a sexual lifestyle that is illegal under the N.C. "crimes against nature" law. The UNC student government code prohib itscongress from funding organizations that promote illegal activity. Student Body President Matt Heyd said the resolution hurt congress' cred ibility and divided students at a time when they needed to unite in the fight against University budget cuts. "There are issues on campus tu ition hikes, fee hikes and budget cuts that need to be addressed," he said. "All this bill's going to do is piss people off." Opponents of the resolution said con elimination of 1 1 class sections next fall. Four faculty positions have been eliminated because of budget cuts, he said. Instead of canceling classes, the faculty's workload will increase by a third. A faculty member's workload consists of teaching, advising, super vising, researching and performing public service. Donald Stedman, dean of the School of Education, said the only other option would have been to in crease the size of class sections, thereby increasing student-to-teacher ratios.

About a year ago, Rutledge Tufts, director of auxiliary services, contacted the campus card office to develop one ID that would, basically, "do it all." Former Student Body President Brien Lewis created the idea for a general campusdebit card that could be used for a range of activities, Tufts said.

'This is not a group called the Anal Intercourse Club," said Andrew Cohen, Dist. 6. "An argument can be made that this is a viable group on campus and that it serves an educational purpose. It's an informational club." Carl Clark, chairman of the Student Affairs Committee, said congress' in formation file on the CGLA did not indicate that the group advocated sexual activity. "I think we've made an errone ous mistake tonight," he said. The resolution, which has no direct effect on the CGLA's funding, passed 8-5 with one abstention. Five members Moore appointed to the summer con Flexibility By JoAnn Rodak Staff Writer A bill designed to give UNC-system schools greater fiscal flexibility reached the Senate Appropriations Committee Tuesday, but not without revisions by the Higher Education Committee. The revised bill removed a contro versial section that called for one-half of state funds not spent during the fiscal year to revert back to the individual university to which they had been ap propriated. This version of the bill com plies with a present law that all money not spent during the fiscal year be re turned to the state. Jay Robinson, UNC-system vice president for public affairs and the bill's chief lobbyist, said hurdling the sticky reversions section would be the bill's biggest problem in gaining passage. "(The bill would) result in a much ... lower level of reversions to the state, and not revert much (funding), if any, with the flexibility bill," he said. If the bill passes, Robinson said, it probably would not happen until the meal card contract, combine several elements of identification into one card. Students must surrender their old ID cards to receive a new one. The new card has the student's photo in the bottom right corner. A label to the left has the student's name and Social Security numberaboveabar code, which is used by the libraries. On the back, a wide magnetic strip at the bottom codes information about the student's meal plan account balance. A second, thin strip at the top soon will be able to work in library photocopying machines. University community since 1893 Chapel Hill, DTHKalhy Michel gress helped carry the resolution. Four of the resolution's six sponsors were summer appointees. Several congress members implied that Moore had timed the resolution to coincide with the seating of his appoin tees on the summer congress. "That's not the case," Moore said. He said he didn't submit the resolution to the full congress during spring ses sion because congress' agenda had been too busy. And he said he had appointed every student who asked to join the summer congress. No CGLA representatives were at the meeting. Moore said he tried unsuc cessfully to reach officers of the CGLA to tell them about the resolution. bill revised, end of the session because of the bill's financial implications for the state. "It would be a net loss to the state," he said. The bill's sponsor, Sen. Howard Lee, D-Orange, said: "Yes, there is great opposition to the reversions (provision) because in the past the state's budget was built on reversions. Quite frankly, I think that's a bad way to run a budget. "In spite of that, there is a willingness on the part of the legislature leadership to give this a try." The new version of the bill also gives the Board of Governors the power to determine which of the 16 system schools would get the added flexibility. As the bill stands, it applies to the entire system, but the BOG would se lect which institutions to select initially. "We expect UNC at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University would both qualify," Lee said. "At the outset, we never really said it would be two pilot schools. We encour aged it initially. "We in the legislature simply are not in the position to know which universi ties are really qualified to pilot this," new multifunctional card Next year, the University wants to add the registration card and athletic pass information to the bar code, Tufts said. If a student drops out or graduates, the card will be deactivated through the registrar's office so it cannot be used on campus, he said. The wide stripe that contains the meal plan account information also will code a second account, called the UNC-ONE account, Tufts said. Students can put any amount of money on this account for use in the have time for it North Carolina TTM0 uiN ciearei of 6 charges of discrimmafion By Jennifer Wing Editor The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights said Monday that its investigation of seven discrimina tion charges at UNC found the Univer sity negligent in only one case. The OCR concluded that University officials failed to respond quickly enough to a sexual harassment com plaint filed in the dentistry school. The office also found that the female com plainant in the case was not sexually harassed, but that the accused male was guilty of gender harassment. "School officials had been aware since 1988 that the Male's actions to ward the Female were harassing in na ture; however, an internal investigation was not conducted until September 1990," the report stated. "The former Dean, upon being made aware of the Female's allegation of sexual harass ment, failed to adhere to requirements of the University policies and proce dures in a timely manner as they relate to a complaint of sexual harassment." Chancellor Paul Hardin said in a written public statement that he was pleased with the ruling. "They (the findings) tend to show that the University is dealing profes sionally, sensitively and fairly with per sonnel issues," he said. "I intend forthat end CGLA fiuiding No CGLA officers could be reached for comment Wednesday. Cohen and others said they doubted the student government code permitted summer congress appointments by the speaker, a procedure Heyd used last summer with the full congress' approval. Cohen tried to exclude the appoin tees from voting on the resolution, but Moore ruled that they could vote. Elliott Zenick, summer student con gress speaker pro tern, said allowing the appointed members to vote was legal. "We decided that, because of the prece dent set last year, they could vote." If the speaker couldn ' t make appoint ments, the summer congress probably would have todisband for lack of enough sent to appropriations Lee said. A third revision to the bill deals with the authority of the chancellors at each school to eliminate and establish jobs. Under the revision, chancellors wish ing to add or abolish positions must comply with the State Employment Act andor the policies of the Board of Gov ernors. Another departure from administra tion style is that the bill would give chancellors the power to transfer money between budget categories, Lee said. Forexample.UNC-CHChancellorPaul Hardin could transfer money between academic and health affairs. "Also, the chancellors at the institu tional level will be able to expend up to $25,000 without a bid process," Lee said. "This is uncommon authority to be given this far from the state level." Despite initial opposition to parts of the bill which now have been revised opposition has dispersed, Lee said. "We haven't found anyone who really opposes it. Earlier opposition against the bill has quelled." The flexibility bill won support from Student Stores and any of the University-operated snack bars. UNC-ONE also can be used in the dining halls and the Marriott-run snack bars, but the Marriott meal plan account can be used only for Marriott-run food purchases, he said. Tufts said that students concerned about the possibility of losing a card with so much information on it should know that the cards can be deactivated in seconds by contacting the card of- See ID, page 7 Sydney J. Harris NemSporWAiU 962-024; Bulkiest Advertising 962-1163 to be the case, and we work hard to make sure it is." The report also found the University innocent of discrimination in the UNC police department. Officer Keith Edwards, a black woman, claims she was discriminated against on the basis of gender and race. According to the report, the qualifi cations of the two female complainants, including Edwards, were inferior to the male applicant's, and investigators found that the department had shown no prejudice against women. "We found that while comprising 16 percent of the staff eligible for promo tion, females received 20 percent of the promotions during the 1989 and 1990 calendar years," the report stated. "With regard to the alleged denial of promo tion to Female A, our investigation found that the male selected for the position had more experience in law enforce ment and training the Female A." After discovering that the females' initial qualifications were stronger than the male's, the office requested addi tional data on why the male was pro moted. Investigators discovered nega tive background checks for both women, and cited these as reasons why the male candidate was more qualified. The report stated that complainant See DOE, page 4 members, Zenick said. But the full con gress might prohibit summer appoint ments next year to forestall such contro versies, he said. Cohen moved to kill the resolution because it had not been typed according to specifications spelled out in the stu dent government code. Zenick, who presided over the reso lution debate, ruled Cohen's motion out-of-order because Cohen did not raise the point until long after congress had voted to consider the resolution. Moore said he hoped the resolution would convince next year's congress to terminate the group's funding, which See CONGRESS, page 2 the UNC General Administration, the UNC-system schools and other leaders in the Senate, he said. "I'm feeling really confident about the bill," Lee added. There is no timetable on the bill be cause its movement depends on how long the appropriations committee de liberations take, he said.
