.Rafliere to protest Hardin's BCC
By Heather Harreld
Staff Writer
A coalition of student activists will
rally in front of South Building today to
protest Chancellor Paul Hardin's lack
of response to three demands that group
members say will improve the Univer
sity community.
Coalition members also plan to call
Hardin's office twice every IS minutes
for at least a week and at home if he
cannot be reached at the office.
The coalition gave Hardin until
Wednesday to respond to the demands.
UNC to explore
solutions to noise
at power plant
By Brendan Smith
Staff Writer
A University official told neighbors
of the Cameron Avenue power plant
Wednesday night that the University
would investigate an expert's sugges
tions for reducing noise levels.
But the cost of these improvements
could be a stumbling block, said Tom
Grisham, University director of special
projects.
"It's simply a question of financing,
making sure we have the money,"
Grisham said. "We know what the con
cepts are; we're not positive of thecost."
The University hired a sound engi
neer who reported his findings last night
to the Power Plant Neighbors, a group
of residents organized to keep the Uni
versity aware of their complaints.
John Stewart, the owner of Noise
Control Services, reported the findings
of his two-month study of noise levels
in the power plant area.
Stewart's study has identified spe
cific sources of noise pollution, and
Grisham said the University was trying
to comply with the town's noise ordi
nance by adopting some of Stewart's
suggestions.
Possible solutions for noise reduc
tion include:
silencers on steam exhaust and silo
blowers,
enclosures for the silo air com
pressors and the turbine building,
covers for ventilation windows,
fan silencers in the boiler building
and
acoustical shielding on the fan mo
tors. If these adjustments are made, noise
levels from the plant will improve,
Stewart said.

Limited pool of minority applicants leave departments few choices

University officials have placed new
emphasis on the recruitment of minor

Many University departments and

Students at a Black Student Move
ment meeting Wednesday emotionally
criticized a response from Donald
Boulton, vice chancellor for student
affairs. Some told Boulton, who at
tended the meeting, that his response
was incomplete and exhibited racism.
Several coalition members were no
ticeably upset and called for Boulton to
leave the meeting so he would not hear
any new strategies of the group. Others
tended the meeting, said, "If you can do
that, you'll be getting Christmas cards
from people you don't know."
Grisham said he needed to meet with
Ben Tuchi, University vice chancellor
for business and finance, to see what
funds were available for the renova
tions. Stewart said the cost of the improve
ments could not be estimated because
vendors had to be contacted. New equip
ment would have to meet the design
specifications of the plant's machinery,
he said.
"It really depends on how compat
ible existing (noise reduction) systems
are with the machines in use," he said.
If the machinery is not compatible, it
may need to be replaced, Stewart said.
Town noise ordinances require that
daytime noise levels not exceed 60 deci
bels and that nighttime levels not ex
ceed 50 decibels.
While the plant nearly meets the day
time level, it does "not even come close"
to complying with the lower nighttime
level, Stewart said.
"If you go from 50 (decibels) to 60,
that's perceived as about 10 times as
much noise," Stewart said.
Capt. Gregg Jarvies of the Chapel
Hill Police Department said they had
been receiving about three or four com
plaints a week about noise from the
plant. During the past two weeks, noise
readings taken by police ranged from
55 to 68 decibels.
Even though the plant violates the
town noise ordinance, it is exempted
because noise from emergency pressure-release
valves is allowed by the
ordinance, Jarvies said.
The PPN will meet with officials
next month to see what advances have
been made in meeting the recommen
dations. needed to concentrate on increasing the
pool of minority applicants.
"Part of our thing is to remind the
faculty that we need to have continued
good-faith efforts to increase the pool
of black faculty members," he said.
Robert Cannon, University affirma
tive action officer, said recruitment ef
forts have not failed entirely. Recruit
ment success depends on the pool of
possible applicants, and the pool for
many jobs is limited, he said.
"(Our recruitment effort) certainly
hasn't been a great success, but it hasn't

More human remains found
By Dana Pope
Assistant City Editor
HILLSBOROUGH Orange
County Sheriffs deputies Wednes
day found more dismembered human
remains at a northern Orange County
house.
David Allen Sokolowski, 35, was
charged Tuesday with first-degree
murderafterremains were found burn
ing in his yard Monday afternoon.
Orange-Chatham District Attorney
Carl Fox said initial examinations in
dicated that the remains found
Wednesday belonged to a female.
"There are clearly identifiable hu
man remains that appear to be consis
tent with female remains," he said.
Fox said it was too early to deter
mine whether the remains belonged to
Pamela Owens Ellswood, 42.
Ellswood had been living with
Sokolowski for about three or four
years, according to Orange County
Sheriff Lindy Pendergrass.
Fox said Ellswood had not been
seen for at least three weeks.
Wednesday's discovery indicated
that there was one male victim and
one female victim, Fox said.
Fox said there was an indication of
gunshots on remains found in
Monday's fire.
The second set of remains was found
in the kitchen area of the house, he
said. Fox would not describe what
body parts were found Wednesday.
"It hadn 't been burned, it appeared,"
he said. "It appeared that these parts
had been saved."
Investigators also found weapons
inside the house. "We do know there
was an ax found and knives found,"
Fox said.
He said the interior of the house
was "a mass of clutter and chaos."
"It didn't smell of human remains.
It was just dirty ... it isn't a house you
would walk into everyday. It didn't
look like a chamber of horrors."
Fox said investigators couldn't tell
when the bodies were dismembered.
"The evidence I'm aware of tends
to indicate that the body was not dis-
success. You have to look at where
people are and what the available jobs
are."
Some departments have had recent
successes. Both the Kenan-FIagler
School of Business and the geography
department hired one minority faculty
member this year.
Benson Rosen, business school man
agement chairman, said the school takes
applications without identifying the
candidates' minority status. But the
school does make an attempt to attract
minorities by contacting graduate stu
dents. But like many University depart
ments and other schools in the country.

Recession takes toll at University: ;
Low salaries discourage applicants
By Deborah Greenwood
Staff Writer
The recession and an inability to of
fer competitive salaries have hurt the
hiring process of many UNC schools
and departments.
Top-notch professors are lured away
from the University by other schools
that can provide higher salaries. UNC's
department heads are kept from filling
vacancies in their faculty, putting a bur
