"Massey the seventh
to leave University
By JoAnn Rodak
Staff Writer
Unlucky number seven?
William Massey.associatevicechan
cellor for University relations, is the
seventh top UNC administrator in less
than three months to announce that he
will leave his post.
Massey has been named vice presi
dent of Ruder Finn, one of the world's
largest independently owned interna
tional public relations firms. Massey
will take his new position at the firm's
recently established Raleigh office July
5. Based in New York City, the com
pany has nine other offices around the
world.
Massey, who has been associate vice
chancellor since June 1990, said Ruder
Finn contacted him about the vice presi
dent position last week, but that he had
not been looking for a position outside
the University.
"I am extremely grateful to the Uni
versity for almost eight years of unpar
alleled opportunities and challenges that
it has given me the opportunity to re
spond to," Massey said Tuesday.
"I'm not looking forward to leaving
the University," he said. "It has meant a
great deal to me, seen as a student, as an
alumnus and as an employee. I've seen
the University through its ups and
downs, at the highest moment of joy
and at the lowest moment of despair."
His position as associate vice chan
cellor includes managing the Division
of University Relations, which over
sees the Bicentennial Observance Of
fice, Design Services, Internal Com
munications, News Services, Public
Relations, Special Projects, Visitor Ser
vices and WUNC-FM radio.
Massey 's sudden departure as pri
mary director of the Bicentennial Ob
designee as the representative to the
BOG.
UNC-CH senior Mark Bibbs is the
present ASG president. Bibbs, how
ever, is classified as a state employee
because he works as a staff member for
Speaker of the House Dan Blue. State
employees are not allowed to serve on
the board.
Bibbs said he would examine the
servance will affect how the programs
will be executed, said Ben Tuchi, vice
chancellor of business and finance.
A search for his replacement will
begin shortly after Chancellor Paul
Hardin returns from vacation, Tuchi
said.
As manager of external affairs and
the Bicentennial Observance, Massey
held what Tuchi called a "pretty criti
cal" position.
"With the primary director, there's
bound to be some effect," Tuchi said,
"but B ill has put a good group of people
together in his office and has laid out a
fairly specific set of plans ... There
could be a negative effect if (his re
placement is) delayed too long."
Tuchi said that because Massey
planned to live in the area, he would be
involved in the replacement process
and would help implement the Bicen
tennial Observance plans.
Massey is the third UNC administra
tor involved with the University's Bi
centennial Observance to leave in the
past year. Robert Sweeney, associate
vice chancellor for development, on
May 9 announced his pending depar
ture to take the position of vice presi
dent of development and university re
lations at the University of Virginia.
Last August, Gary Evans, vice chancel
lor for development, left the University
to join a private consulting firm.
Six other top University administra
tors have announced in the past three
months that they will be leaving their
posts. Provost Dennis O'Connor ac
cepted the presidency of the University
of Pittsburgh, and Gillian Cell, dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences, will
become provost at Lafayette College,
another Pennsylvania school.

statutes to see if it would be possible for
him to take the position. However, he

opinions and being taken seriously, he
said. "Students now have a better op

The University will award a five
year food service contract to one of
three bidders by the end of the month,
said Carolyn Elfland, associate vice
chancellor for business.
The contract, held for the last five
years by Marriott Corp., covers Lenoir
and Chase dining halls, Union Station
and several snack bars on campus.
Marriott's contract will expire in Au
gust after the end of second summer
session, Elfland said Tuesday.

for Marriott, said his company was
Resident protests role of

plans to present a petition to the Chapel
Hill Town Council Monday, condemn
ing the role of UNC-CH's Educational
Foundation in University transporta
tion planning and calling for the UNC
Board of Governors to investigate the
foundation's ethics.
The Educational Foundation, also
known as the Rams Club, is the
University's booster organization for
athletics. Wallace questions the
foundation's role in the financing of
two campus parking decks and claims it
may be connected to the proposed South
Loop Road.
Wallace was scheduled to present
the petition to the council at last
Monday's meeting, but the council re
fused to take petitions.
"They cut us off," Wallace said. "My
opinion is that the Rams Club is out of
line, and they should be taken to the
woodshed on this one."
In his petition, Wallace cited a 1 986
foundation study conducted by Kimley

goals."
Beth Hamman, ASG vice president
of legal affairs and a student at UNC
Charlotte, said, "We're going to be able
to really tell them what the students
want. There are problems out there
we've got to face."
Hamman said she hoped Bibbs would
appoint someone w,io has worked with
ASG. The appointee also should have
one of the bidders.
The N.C. Purchase and Contracts
Office granted Marriott a six-week con
tract extension past the June 30 end of
the fiscal year so it could continue ser
vice in the summer, Elfland said,
"If we switch contractors, they need
time to move in and out," she said.
'That also gives us more time to decide
(on the bids)."
The bid deadline was April 25.
The University denied requests made
by The Daily Tar Heel to examine the
bids.
State bidding laws make the names
of the companies, specifics about the
bids themselves and details about the
a four-lane road be built between Bowles
Drive, which serves the Smith Center,
and South Columbia Street.
Wallace said that the street proposed
in the 1986 study is similar to South
Loop and that it influenced the planned
realignment of Manning Drive.
The petition also criticizes the
foundation's donations to the Univer
sity to help fund the Craige parking
deck and the proposed new business
school parking deck, which foundation
members would use during sporting
events. The foundation has agreed to
give $100,000 a year for the next 20
years for use of the Craige deck, and
will contribute an undisclosed amount
towardthe business school parking deck.
Wallace said the decks should be
made available to the public for rent
during athletic events.
"The public should come on a first
come, first-served basis,"he said. "(The)
council should pull the motivation out
from under the Rams Club and prevent
them from transportation planning.
"I'm not anti-Rams Club, I'm not
anti-athletics," Wallace said. "The stu
dents are on the short end of the stick,
and they don't even know it."

Two student body leaders are reach
ing out and touching UNC students to
raise opposition to a proposed tuition
increase of 20 percent to 40 percent.
Student Body President Matt Heyd
and Ruffin Hall, student government
budget crisis coordinator, began calling
students at home this week to encour
age them to contact their legislators
before the General Assembly takes fi
nal action on the budget.
"We're just trying to put pressure on
the legislature," Hall said.
Student government, which is pay
ing for the telephone calls, wants other
summer students to help make the calls,
Hall said.
He and Heyd are taking two apt.
preaches to reaching UNC students.
"First, we're trying to call people we
know in different cities around the state,
and then having them call people they
know." It's like a phone tree. Hall said.
The other option is going through the
phone book and picking students at
random.
"The program idea is to connect par
ents and alumni to inform them of state
and campus activity," Hall said. Then
they can put pressure on legislators
through their own mechanisms, he
added.
bidding for
evaluation process confidential, Elfland
said. Any discussion could invalidate
the entire process, she added. :
The University's auxiliary services
office establishes requirements for the
bidding process, which must be cleared
with the state contracts office in Ra
leigh, she said. The University then
sends bid requirements to potential bid
ders. The proposals are evaluated by
University officials and the state con
tracts office before a contract is awarded.
"From the time we mail out the pro
posal to when the decision is made we
can't discuss it," Elfland said. "Any
thing you say could give one firm an
advantage over another."
Rams Club
Mrwpr Smith. Rams Club executive
Mover Smith, Rams Club executive
vice president, said Wallace's petition
was "way off base."
"There's nothing to his claim," Smith
said.
The foundation hired Kimley-Hom
to study traffic problems around the
Smith Center during basketball games,
Smith said.
"We had had a number of complaints
from people waiting for two hours (in a
parking lot)," he said.
The consultants recommended sev
eral options to disperse the heavy traf
fic, one of which was creating a road
that went through Odum Village, Smith
said. But these were only recommenda
tions, he said.
"Our members understand that if you
go to a big arena, you're going to wait in
traffic," he said.
The foundation did not ask for the
Craige deck, but the University had
asked the foundation to help finance it.
Smith said.
"We contributed because we had the
money," he said.
Smith said that if the foundation had

the position. "That's going to make my
decision difficult," he said.

Heyd said it had been difficult to
reach students at home. "It's getting
frustrating."
Hall said many students work or are
out of town. "But we have to keep
trying."
By the end of the week the House and
the Senate are expected to pass different
budget packages bills, Heyd said. The
bills passed in the appropriations com
mittees last week virtually unchanged.
Heyd said a tuition increase seemed
inevitable.
The House has sent its budget pack
age to the Senate, and the Senate is
expected to send its version to the House
today, Hall said.
The Senate is considering raising tu
ition for in-state students by 40 percent
over two years and for out-of-state stu
dents by about 21 percent over Jtwo
years. The House is considering a plan
to raise tuition 20 percent for in-state
students and 25 percent for out-of-state
students.
Another provision of the bills would
increase the financial aid allotment to
all of the UNC-system schools. The
Senate is recommending $3.9 million
the first year and $5.6 million the sec
ond year. The House is proposing $5
million both years. About one-fourth of

John Boone, assistant purchasing
director at the University, said no bids
were accepted after April 25.
"It's up to Rutledge Tufts, the di
rector of auxiliary services now, and
he has a student committee that has
some say-so in that, too," Boone said.
Ruffin Hall, a member of the Food
Service Advisory Committee, said he
and other members were not allowed
to comment on the bids. Anything
said that could potentially jeopardize
the bids would be grounds for a law
suit and the bidding process would
have to be repeated.
Student interests have been well
represented in the process. Hall said.
