The Daily Tar HeelMonday, August 19, 19911 1A Bill 'attention, and secondly (I) just had little time to get involved with what I consid ered to be low-priority legislation," he said. "But having gone and having spo ken to that class earlier about the legis lative process, I felt some need to fol low through on my words." Once he learned about the history of spanking legislation in the state, Lee said, his interested grew. "As one who believes that corporal punishment is an outmoded form of discipline, I became fascinated with trying to get it through the legislature," he said. The seminar students' next hurdle was finding sponsors for their bill. At the suggestion of Alan Hirsch, a lawyer with the state attorney general's office and the course's instructor, three stu- Tuition dents went to the office of Sen. J. Rich ard Conder, D-Rockingham, to discuss the bill. "Conder was up there for us espe cially because he was Senate Education (Committee) chair, so we knew that we should target him," Frohock said. Hirsch said Conder helped assure passage of the bill. "He had not been known as a sup porter of limiting corporal punishment, and he is chairman of the committee that was hearing the bill (and) was in a position of great influence,"Hirsch said. "Not only did Conder support the bill and vote for it, but he facilitated moving the bill when it was in some jeopardy. "It's not often that students can influ ence major public policy in this really major way," Hirsch said. "I learned a lesson from this class that things can really happen with bright, dedicated students who are interested in making a difference. Several legislators and educators agreed. House Speaker pro tern Marie Colton has long been a proponent of similar corporal punishment legislation. "I couldn't be more pleased no, I could be more pleased if we had an outright statewide prohibition on the use of cor poral punishment, but I think this will give us a chance to see if local systems would like to abolish it," she said. "The experience may tel I us that schools work at least as well ... without resorting to corporal punishment." from page 1A fa" Edwards from page 3A from it. Matt Heyd, UNC-CH student body president, said the tuition increase was unfortunate but better than predicted. "The in-state (increase) is lowerthan we thought, but the out-of-state (in crease) is a whole lot more," he said. "We thought it would be equal in the dollar amount, but instead it's in per centage. "It's unfortunate that (tuition) had to go up, but better than we thought the Senate had proposed double that amount," Heyd added. Heyd also expressed disappointment that the General Assembly allotted slightly more than 10 percent of the revenue generated from the increase to -financial aid. "I'm aggravated that the financial aid is lower," he said. "The governor said 25 percent in May that's more Staff near what's needed. This is further lim iting financial accessibility for out-of-state students." Tuchi said: "I don't think it will have a negative affect on enrollment, but I obviously do think it will have an im pact on the individual students. Finan cial aid at UNC-CH is in short supply to begin with. This exacerbates it some what." Robinson disagreed. "I know many people would disagree with me on this, but we needed money so much to keep our programs at a high quality, and revenue was so short, I didn't feel like we could afford to have additional money going into student aid this year," he said. Now that the General Assembly has adopted a budget, UNC-system admin istrators will have to take the numbers and break them down into how the universities will be affected, Heyd said. UNC-system administrators will have looked at the figures by the time stu dents return in the fall. "This still means a separate bill for students (in September)," Heyd said. Students will have to pay a second tu ition bill after the fall session begins. "I think its irresponsible on the legislature's part," he said. "The second bill symbolized how (the legislature) has gone about the budget process with very little thought. "I'm glad for now they've adjourned and can't do more damage," he added. Although the cuts are in place for the 1991-92 school year, Heyd said he would continue to urge students to pro test in the fall when the legislature re convenes. "Financial problems are not getting any better," he said. from page 1A Sue Baker, chairwoman of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school board, said she agreed. "I think it's agreat move forward for, certainly, the rights of children," Baker said. "I would expect that our board would ban it. We don't approve of (cor poral punishment) and do not use it, and what this will allow us to do is make this official policy." Gerry House, superintendent of Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools, said: "We're very pleased that the legislation was passed and consider it long over due. We have had a policy that encour ages more appropriate uses of disci pline (but) we could not forbid people from using corporal punishment be cause the law allowed it." Rep. John Kerr, D-Goldsboro, of fered a different opinion. "I think it was a horrible mistake," he said. Kerr said he was disappointed he could not add an amendment to the bill allowing teach ers, as well as school board members, to decide on the issue. "Discipline is the number one problem in the schools. "I think it's a step backwards," Ken added. "I understand political science students' classes were over here mak ing a big deal of it, but they were all out- oi-state (students) probably. riorCourt Judge Henry McKinnon ruled that the State Personal Commission's December overturning of an adminis trative law judge's ruling in favor of Edwards was correct. Because the police department's re organization in June 1 987 did not estab lish promotions, Edwards' case of dis crimination was invalid, McKinnon ruled. The commission does not have the authority to act on individuals' claims of discrimination unless there has been a change in status affecting compensation or advancement or the opportunity therefore, his ruling stated. Alan McSurely, Edwards' lawyer, said he was pleased with the ruling because it made the real question be hind Edwards' case clear whether dis crimination laws apply to job transfers. Courscpak McSurely plans to appeal the case to the N.C. Court of Appeals on this question. "This is really the issue for the Court of Appeals, which is really the correct court todecide how to interpret what the state legislature meant when they passed this statute (outlawing racial and gen der discrimination in promotions)," he said. "What the University's position has been since the beginning is that it's all right to discriminate as long as it's re ally not a promotion," McSurely said. "And I don't think that's a good mes sage for this University to send out to its own employees, and certainly it's not a good message for any state agency to sent out to the 1 60,000 state employees, that they can be discriminated against as long as it's not a promotion." from page 4A ering an untapped source of income in copyright fees. "I think that prior to the suit, the publishers had the point of view that this was just a nuisance, more a hassle than it was worth," Boren said. "They are just now beginning to realize the potential business (in course packs). rlCXlDIC from page 1A "l da say that (publishers) could make more money selline us the riphts to reproduce the works than they can selling the books," he said. Odum June of next year. Turner, who plans to work on re search after his departure from the Uni versity, said he is retiring because he is turning 70, the state mandatory retire ment age. Gary Schaffer, an associate social work professor, said Turner had in creased the school's visibility and had brought in funds. His departure would be a great loss to the school, he said. O'Connor said a nationwide search for Turner's replacement would soon be underway. Robert Sweeney, associate vice chancellor for development Sweeney, UNC associate vice chan cellor for development and director of the fund-raising Bicentennial Cam- Calvin and Hobbes paign, left his position Aug. 1 to be come vice president for development at the University of Virginia. Although Sweeney's departure oc curs during the middle of the campaign, Bicentennial officials said his leaving would not adversely effect the fund raising efforts. The development office, which has been under Sweeney's direction since 1987, has increased private donations to the University by 30 percent since Sweeney's arrival. Last year, the office raised $52.4 million. A replacement for Sweeney has not yet been found. William Massey, associate vice chancellor for University relations Massey will resigned his post to be come vice president of Ruder Finn Co., one of the world's largest independently owned public relations firms. He took his new position July 5. Massey 's position as associate vice chancellor for University relations in cluded managing the Division of Uni versity Relations. The Bicentennial Observance Office is overseen by this division. Ben Tuchi, vice chancellor business and finance, said Massey' sudden de parture would have an affect on how the Bicentennial programs were executed. "Bill has put a good group of people together in his office and has laid out a fairly specific set of plans," Tuchi said. "There could be a negative effect if (his replacement) delayed too long." A search for his replacement will begin shortly after Chancellor Paul Hardin returns from vacation. SUSIE, WANNA HEAR I THINK "U PRINQPNL IS A. SPAC AUENSPV. UPCTCMiwcmrrMww imidI I Downer mt N I K.

"Both legislative bodies labored long and hard over it," Tuchi said. "It's a significant step forward and an excel lent thing for universities in the sys tem." The Board of Governors must estab lish guidelines for implementing the flexibility authority before the law goes into effect. UNC-system administrators predict the bill will go into effect in October, at the end of the first quarter of the 1991-1992 fiscal year. Sen. Howard Lee, D-Orange, spon sored the UNC fiscal flexibility bill, which was included in the state's bud get legislation. Reps. Joe Hackney and Anne Barnes, D-Orange, also worked for the bill's approval. The plan also will allow universities to retain some of the money they have left over at the end of the fiscal year. Legislators compromised on theamount of unspent money the campuses would be entitled to keep. Legislators also eliminated a section of the bill that would have allowed chancellors at designated campuses to move money between the health affairs and academic affairs sections of the University. Robinson said some legislators op posed the measure because they be lieved it gave government agencies too much leeway in spending state money. PassFail m3 ommendations for improvement. ' "" Schroeer said the initial aim of pass fail was to allow students who already had a full academic load (meaning 15 credit hours) to explore challenging courses outside their majors without having to compete against prospective majors in tne subject area. But since its inception in 1973, vari ous modifications have helped open the system to exploitation by lazy students, he said. "The average passfail student gets two-thirds of a grade lower than the average student who is taking the class for a grade. They are wasting a seat in the course, they are wasting the professor's time, and they are wasting the time of the other students," he said. Mary Gallagher, contract adminis tration manager of the Rights and Per missions Department of Sage Publica tions, said shedid not think more money could be made through permission fees than through direct book sales. "It is a big business, but its always been a big business," she said. She added that she had not received any more or any fewer requests for permission since the onset of the new interpretation of the Fair Use Clause. from page 1A Campus, not just for South Loop, he said. The University's entire Land Use Plan includes a number of proposed construction projects that would dam age Odum Village. "It is very short-ended vision to say that we don't want the South Loop Road because it destroys Odum Vil lage," Tuchi said. The defeated resolution included a clause requiring the University to re place the married student housing that would have been destroyed by the con struction of South Loop. "The University is still going to build the road," said Matt Heyd, student body CGIA president. "Hopefully it will maintain its commitment to low-cost housing." Heyd said the University needed more low-cost housing than Odum Village alone. Andresen said the council might yet approve South Loop. "An agreement between the University and the town needs to be worked out to plan growth in an orderly way," she said. "I could support South Loop if there was more cooperation between the University and the town in the areas of development and construction and road funding. As the University has grown this has be come even more vital." from page 1A May 28 by restraining summer con gress indefinitely from all political ac tivity until the case could be heard and resolved. Because summer congress could not meet during either summer school ses sion, several campus organizations did not receive their summer funding. Congress was unable to consider leg islation that would have appropriated $811 for the Pauper Player's summer production, student fees for The Daily Tar Heel's 199 1-1992 budget, a $1,000 donation to the library system and a $200 donation to the Office of Scholar ships and Financial Aid. At a pre-trial hearing June 19, Bibbs postponed the trial because there were not enough Student Supreme Court jus tices available to hear the case. Three justices are needed to hear a case, and the court was lacking one. Bibbs could not appoint newly se lected justices to hear the case because they had not been approved by con gress, which Bibbs has forbidden to meet. Also at the pre-trial hearing. Bibbs denied Moore's request to lift the tem porary restraining order on summer congress. Timberlyne Shopping Center 967-7771 , WEDELIVER!
