Ben Tuchi, vice chancellor for busi

for the vice chancellor for business and
finance position at the University of
Pittsburgh.
Robert Dunkelman, search commit
tee chairman and vice provost for re
source management at the University of
Pittsburgh, said the committee for
warded Tuchi's and the other two final
ists' applications to the chancellor
Wednesday for final selection. The ap
pointment could be made by the end of
next week, he said.
"(Ben Tuchi) is one of three (appli
cants) that the search committee has
recommended to the chancellor,"
Dunkelman said. "Now it's up to the
chancellor."
Dennis O'Connor, who resigned as
UNC's provost in September, accepted
the position of Pitt chancellor, which
was offered to him May 1 . Jack Daniels,
University of Pittsburgh vice provost
for academic affairs, said O'Connor
would appoint the new vice chancellor.
Neither O'Connor nor Tuchi could
be reached for comment Thursday.
Dunkelman said the search commit

PARIS When the Magic King
dom meets the City of Lights for the
first time Sunday, it will mark the birth
of the fourth of the late Walt Disney's
multimillion dollar theme parks.
Even though Disney's growing in
ternational empire is proof that it is "a
small world after all," the arrival of
Mickey, Donald and Goofy has met
with mixed reviews from the Parisians.
- Le Nouvel Observator, a Paris paper,
has called the project, "a copy of a
fake." L'express, a leading magazine,
recently dedicated its cover story to the

"She is a very articulate, dedicated

Pendergrass, a Durham police watch
commander. "She has served the city of
Durham honorably and will be an asset
to the University."
Lt. Clay Williams of University Po
lice said he expected Ennis to improve
the department.
"I believe she will add a degree of
professional ism," Williams said. "Over
time, I think it will show that she will be
a positive force in this department."

The search committee selected six
candidates for further interviews by sev
eral Pitt deans and directors and then
decided to send three candidates to the
chancellor for final selection. The final
ists were not ranked by the search com
mittee. "Our committee would be satisfied
with any of the three (finalists),"
Dunkelman said. "The chancel lor asked
us not to rank the final candidates."
Tuchi has the same qualifications as
the other two final candidates, he said.
All three candidates have a doctorate
degree, are from major institutions and
have experience in the areas of business
and finance.
Dunkelman added that the chancel
lor might "want to do some checking of
his own" on the candidates' qualifica
tions but also could consult with senior
officers of the University of Pittsburgh
who had conducted the earlier inter
views. Peggy Hollingsworth, Tuchi's ad
ministrative assistant, said she was un
aware that Tuchi had applied for the
position of vice chancellor for business
and finance at the University of Pitts
burgh. "I haven't heard anything about that,"
Hollingsworth said. "It's a very private
matter."

But the harshest
criticism of Disney
has been for their rigid employee per

Just as in Disney's other stores and
theme parks around the world, Disney's
French employees may not sport beards

are not allowed to wear earrings. Em

favorite Parisian word, "non," when
park visitors ask questions.

Elfland said one of her long-term
goals was to have UNC become one of

"(UNC) is one of the top 10 or 20

Ralliers seek governmental
support for day-care workers
By Andrea Bruce
Staff Writer
RALEIGH About 150 parents,
children and child-care workers ral
lied at Meredith College Thursday as
part of a nationwide attempt to attract
attention to problems plaguing the
child-care industry.
Speakers from the Triangle urged
ralliers to seek government subsidies
to finance increased wages and ben
efits for child-care workers.
"This rally can bring together people
like us to put our children at the top of
the (government's) agenda," Rosemary
Vardell of the Child Care Center in
Chapel Hill told the crowd.
Janet Ray, vice president of the N.C.
Association forthe Education of Young
Children, said governmental response
to the requests of parents and child
care workers had been slow.
"The long-term benefits of quality
child care are a secret at this time," she
said.
Ray said that if parents and workers
continued to pursue theirgoals, elected
officials eventually would respond to
them.
Child-care workers are paid about
half of what similarly educated work
ers receive in non-child-care related
positions, and few child-care workers
receive health care or retirement ben
efits from their employees, speakers
explained to ralliers.
Elliot Wurtzel, a parent and a UNC
graduate, said he had presented his
concerns about child care to Chancel
lor Paul Hardin and to the UNC Board
of Governors but was unsatisfied with
their responses.

Yackety Yack editor Shea Tisdale

months after its former business man

Tracy Lamont Keene, 21, of 100-13
Melville Loop Road was charged Dec.

of $75,896.65. Keene orchestrated the
theft by writing multiple checks to his
mother and aunt, who claim to have
been unaware that the money had been
obtained illegally.
When asked if the Yack was suffer

"any organization which has $76,000

Elfland, who made the final decision on
Ennis' appointment, said her advocacy
for officers' rights was an important
consideration.

with grievance disputes and internal
problems.
Morefield said she thought Ennis
would work with the individual officers
in the department.

person who wants to work with other

"She wants to work."

Keene's case is on the Orange County

for the session beginning April 20.
An arraignment calendar lists the
cases that will be heard during a given

On Thursday, Deputy French Trans

Sarre said a threatened rail strike by

Clay Williams said the University Po

prosecution.
"We're ready to go tocourt with it, as
far as law enforcement is concerned, as
soon as the Superior Court system is
ready for it," Williams said.
Tisdale said he thought the case had
not been given as much legal attention
as is devoted to a more violent crime
like a murder.
"It seems like it's low priority be
cause it's a white-collar crime, but a lot

Williams agreed that violent crimes
received higher judicial priority. "The

hate crime

Staff Writer
The search for suspects in an incident
involving the possible racial harass
ment of two black University students
continues, but the situation has esca
lated after the students received letters
Tuesday that they perceived as a con
tinuation of the harassment.
The office of the dean of students and
University Police are attempting to find
the person or people responsible for a
miniature noose found on the message
board outside the door of two black
Hinton James residents the Monday af
ter they returned from Spring Break.
Sophomores Corey Sturdivant and
- Melvin Browning, second floor Hinton
James residents, found the noose hang
ing from the pen attached to their mes
sage board March 9.
"I didn't know what it was at first
because I wasn't thinking anything ra
cial at the time," Sturdivant said. "I
couldn't believe it. I didn't think stuff
like this still happened."
Browning said he was angered at
such overt racism.
"My mom was ready to come get
me," he said. "But I explained to her
that it happens to black students on a lot
of college campuses."
A letter of apology appeared behind
their message board March 1 1, signed
by a Bill Russell, who claimed to be the
grand master of the Superior Order of
the Holy Cross.
Sturdivant said a friend told him that
Russell was the head of the Denver,
Colo., branch of the Ku Klux Klan.
When the only Bill Russell listed by
Denver information was contacted, he
denied any such affiliation.
The letter said the noose had been
meant for one of his suitemates as a
symbol of initiation into the group,
Sturdivant said.
"I don't think so," he said. "I think it
was a joke."
Hinton James Area Director Bill
Latham said that while nothing overtly
racist was stated in the letter, the inci
dent was very possibly racially moti
vated. "When African-American students
find a noose on their door, you suspect
the worst," Latham said.
Sturdivant and Browning said they
believed that repeated letters posted this
week on the bathroom door in their suite
were written by the same people re
sponsible for the earlier incidents.
Sturdivant said the letters stated.
"Unless you're female or in there with
a female ... nobody wants your butt."
He said: "I think it was the same
people (that wrote the last letter). I'm
sick of it ... I really am."
Latham said he had not heard about
the letters.
Sturdivant said if University offi
cials found the culprit, they would take
action.

Correction
In a Sept. 6 Daily Tar Heel article,
"Mail clerk charges director with
racism," the DTH was given incor
rect information. The article incor
rectly reported that a UNC mail clerk
filed two grievances alleging racial
discrimination against her director,
Thomas Brickhouse. No charges of
racial discrimination or of racial ha
rassment were directed toward
Brickhouse in the grievances. The
DTH regrets the error.
