.Faculty: Auditor findings
may create needless work
By Bonnie Rochman
Assistant University Editor
The slate auditor's recommendations
that UNC-system professors document
what they do with their time have pro
fessors up in arms about the possible
onslaught of paperwork.
The audit, which covered the fiscal
years of 1989-90 and 1990-91, con
cluded that the system's 8,065 profes
sors have ample opportunities to mis
use state resources as a result of insuffi
cient monitoring.
Jimmy Benson, deputy state auditor,
said the audit resulted in two main rec
ommendations to the UNC Board of
Governors, both of which deal with
better record keeping. "The system
needs to improve documentation re
lated to faculty work assignments be
cause of the perception that faculty
members may not be working as much
as people think they should be.
'They also need to improve the poli
cies and regulations regarding second
ary employment," Benson said. Sec
ondary employment refers to consulta
tion done outside the University.
RAs not consulted about new
By Michael Workman
Staff Writer
Housing department officials and
Carolina Dining Services are negotiat
ing a plan that would require resident
assistants to use part of their meal card
credit in the Seconds, Please! program.
But several RAs said they should
have been consulted before the change
was incorporated into the proposed
housing budget.
In their contract with the University,
RAs are allocated a $200-per-semester
meal plan as part of their employment
compensation.
The housing budget calls for at least
half of the $200-per-semestermeal plan
to be spent in Seconds, Please!, said
Nick Franzese, chairman of the Hous
ing Advisory Board.

When dealing with a young team, a
college basketball coach has to take
the good with the bad. And the ugly.
In Wednesday night's first-round
NCAA Tournament game against Old
Dominion, UNC head coach Sylvia
Hatchell got to see a little bit of all
three. But in the end, her Tar Heels
came up with the only good thing that
really matters the victory.
UNC held ODU scoreless in the
first 5:45 of the second half and then
held on down the stretch, posting a 60
54 triumph over the lOth-seededMon-archs
in front of 1,250 fans at
Carmichael Auditorium.
The win propels the seventh-seeded

Tar Heels, now 22-8, into this
weekend's second round of East Re
gion play. UNC will travel to Florida
to challenge the Big East-champion
Miami Hurricanes (29-1) Saturday
night at 7:30.
In Wednesday's game, the Mon
archs and the Tar Heels put on a not-
so-memorable show. UNC shot 33.3
percent for the game; ODU hit 35.3
percent. The Tar Heels turned the ball
over 24 times, many coming on bad
passes and unexplainable bobbles.
ODU wasn't much better, committing
23 turnovers.
"It wasn't a very pretty game,"
Hatchell said after UNC's first NCAA
tourney win since 1986. "It was one of
our worst games as far as execution.
We looked like it was the first
game of practice almost, instead of an
NCAA game.
The foul situation wasn t much bet
ter. UNC was whistled for 22 fouls.
Benson said UNC-system President
CD. Spangler responded positively to
the audit results. Spangler is out of the
office until Monday and could not be
reached.
The report, released Tuesday, in
volved scrutiny of four UNC-system
schools in order to obtain a representa
tive sample of the entire system. The
audit investigated UNC-Chapel Hill,
Appalachian State University,
Fayetteville State University and N.C.
State University.
Although the audit does not specifi
cally call for professors to keep time
journals, many professors are interpret
ing the recommendations as just that.
Wilber Ward, associate vice chan
cellor for academic affairs at ASU, said
he thought time logs would be an inap
propriate method of monitoring. "The
enterprise of education is not some
thing that's measured in the number of
items produced within a given time
span.
"I think the system of higher educa
tion in North Carolina has been one of
the jewels in the crown as far as the state
is concerned, and I suggest that the

Larry Hicks, associate housing di
rector for administrative services, said
the change could save the housing de
partment $30,000 because meal plans
with a Seconds, Please! requirement
could cost less to buy from Carolina
Dining Services.
"It's a win-win situation," Hicks said.
"The RAs will still receive a $200-per-semester
meal card, and the Depart
ment of University Housing will have a
savings they can use for programming
efforts."
But Dawn Morgado, an RA in Joyner,
said the housing department was trying
to make changes in RA compensation
without consulting them again.
"It's very disappointing that they
would try to force a meal card issue
again after last year's fiasco," Morgado
said.

meal plan last year, but after wide

quality of our undergraduates speaks
not only for itself but for us as well,"
Ward said.
The audit's claims are unsubstanti
ated, and the resulting recommenda
tions will give more work to already
overburdened professors, he said. "At
the ASU campus, professors are yelling
because they're up to their neck in pa
perwork already.
"If anyone could adduce hard evi
dence that the misuse of professorial
time is a widespread problem in the
system, it might justify such extreme
measures as the report calls for, but I've
seen and know of no such evidence," he
said.
Ann Woodard, UNC music depart
ment chairwoman, agreed that chroni
cling activities was unnecessary. "We
are all responsible professionals, and I
think that an estimation of what is done
in the classroom is by the quality of
work, which is under constant scru
tiny," she said.
William Harris, NCSU history de
partment chairman, said he thought a
time log would prove useless and would
serve only to stir up resentment among
spread criticism from RAs, they rein
stated the $200-per-semesterallowance.
Officials will inform RAs of the
change in plans after negotiations with
Carolina Dining Services are complete,
Hicks said.
'The reason why RAs haven't been
consulted on this is because we're not
finalized on it yet," he said.
Tonya Wall, an Ehringhaus RA, said
the stipulation would be inconvenient
for South Campus RAs.
"I don't think it's fair to make us eat
where we don't want to eat," Wall said.
"I don't mind eating there, ... but I think
that would be very inconvenient."
But Hicks said that South Campus
RAs might not be required to spend as
much at Seconds, Please! as North Cam
pus RAs.
"Right now the negotiation calls for
some of the meal card to be used in
Seconds, Please!," he said. "As to when

faculty members. "It would be counter
productive," he said.
"It would create a lot of resentment
because (teaching) is a profession, and
the view is that people in a profession
shouldn't have to keep an hour-by-hour
record of what they're doing, or punch
a time clock."
Harris said the recommendations of
state auditor Edward Renfrow, who is
running for lieutenant governor, could
be politically motivated. "There is a
feeling that it's being done to promote
the political candidacy of Mr. Renfrow,"
he said.
Renfrow could not be reached for
comment Wednesday. .
Malcolm Gillis, dean of the faculty
of arts and sciences at Duke University,
said he did not know of a major research
university,, public or private, that re
quired professors to keep time logs.
"Our faculty, like your faculty, is
extremely busy with research, outreach,
teaching, mentoring and service," he
said. "We basically figure that time

Regardless of how much RAs have
to spend in Seconds, Please!, Hicks said
he did not think the new plan would be
a problem.
"(TheSeconds, Please! requirement)
is a bit of a confining issue, but it's not,
in my opinion, a major one," he said.
Hicks emphasized that negotiations
with Carolina Dining Services were not
complete.
"We're negotiating with Marriott, and
the budget document reflects that nego
tiation," he said.
"If that negotiation doesn't work,
then we're going to have to readjust our
thoughts here."
The housing department has taken
other steps to balance its budget and to
hold rent constant, Hicks said.
"We went through (a budgetary list),
and our cost center managers looked at
what they could either defer or reduce
or eliminate in terms of our list."
Carrboro board members agree
panhandling a problem downtown
By Grant Holland
StaffWrlter
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
agreed Tuesday night that panhandling
on public streets and sidewalks was a
problem.
But some board members feared an
amendment prohibiting panhandling
would discriminate against people be
cause of their appearance and would
violate the First Amendment right to
freedom of speech.
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist admitted
panhandlers were not her favorite
people, but said other towns' ordinances
prohibiting panhandling have been used
to harass people who did not look, smell
or behave like other people.
"It is not the act of people asking for
money that scares people, but their ap
pearances," Gist said. "It really scares

Sister Souljah:
Black students
must fight war
By Steve Politi
University Editor
Black students are fighting a war,
and they must continue fighting if
they want to stay in touch with their
African heritage, a controversial rap
artist told a crowd of more than 250
people Wednesday night. .
Sister Souljah, the keynote speaker
for Race Relations Week, spoke to the
Hill Hall audience as quickly, loudly
and passionately as she sings to her
listeners in Public Enemy's rap songs.
In her emotional lecture, Souljah
echoed the complaints of black stu
dents on campus complaints that
have prompted hundreds of students
to protest and label Chancellor Paul
Hardin a racist.
"It's important that students don't
believe the hype about things getting
better because things are getting
worse," Souljah exclaimed.
Audience members applauded and
nodded their heads in approval.
"If you are a black student at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, and you do not have an African
studies department, somebody has

ask for money."
The aldermen voted 4-3 to pass the
amendment. Because it lacked support
from a two-thirds majority of the board,
the amendment must come before the
board again next week before it can
become a law.
State law requires an amendment re
ceive two-thirds majority on its first
reading to be law. If a simple majority
of the aldermen vote to pass it next
week at its second reading, the amend
ment will become law.
Aldermen Milliard Caldwell, Tom
Gurganus, Randy Marshall and Frances
Shetley voted in favor of the amend
ment. Carrboro Mayor Eleanor Kinnaird
and aldermen Jay Bryan and Gist voted
against the amendment.
higher than expected and was a jolt to
pro-apartheid white conservatives. De
Klerk won in 14 of the 15 electoral
districts.
The vote was the most solid step
taken toward ending apartheid in South
Africa, a nation branded for decades as
an intractable stronghold of racism.
Major issues remain to be resolved be
tween de Klerk and black leaders, and a
swift transfer of power is not likely.
"Today, we have closed the book on
apartheid," said de Klerk, who cel
ebrated his 56th birthday Wednesday.
'Today, in a certain sense of the word,
is the real birthday of the real, new.
South African nation."
The election gave de Klerk the deci
sive mandate he needs to continue ne
gotiations with the African National
Congress and other black groups on
writing a new constitution.
Mandela, who with de Klerk has been

The crowd yelled and applauded
for about 15 seconds.
"If a University that you pay for
doesn't allow you to have African
professors at percentages that reflect
your presence at the University, then
you are at war," she said.
Again the crowd clapped vigor
ously for about 15 seconds and called
out for Souljah to continue.
"They will try to convince you that
a chair is a table and a table is a chair.
And they will try to convince you that
a room is a cultural center."
The crowd then erupted into a stand
ing ovation that lasted for 30 seconds.
Souljah interrupted, "And as you
continue to push for that what you
rightfully deserve, they will continue
to reshape the issues to make you
think you should feel guilty for what
you deserve."
She condemned students who sup
port a multicultural center on the
premise that a black cultural center
will be seclusive instead of inclusive.
"If African students fight and

Carrboro town attorney Michael
Brough said that some courts had struck
down similar ordinances prohibiting
panhandling on the basis that they
abridge freedom of speech but that he
agreed with more recent cases uphold
ing the ordinances.
"Some courts have said utterances
like 'can you give me some money?' are
protected by free speech," Brough said.
Brough also said he did not consider
panhandling expressive conduct.
"The mere fact that speech is in
volved does not mean it is protected by
the First Amendment," he said. "Sim

referendum must be (he "absolute last"
whites-only vote.
AndriesTreurnicht, leaderof the pro
apartheid Conservative Party, conceded
defeat. But he said de Klerk would be
"the victim of his own reform."
"Mr. de Klerk has won his referen
dum, just like Gorbachev won his,"
Treurnicht said. "Gorbachev is today
out of power ... and Mr. de Klerk is
negotiating his own government out of
power.".
When de Klerk came to power in
August 1989, he was viewed as a stal
wart of the governing National Party
who wouldcontinue its policies of white
domination.
But within six months, he stunned
the world by legalizing black opposi
tion groups and freeing Mandela after
his 27-year imprisonment for trying to
topple the white government.
