NBA experts predict
By David J. Kupstas
Sports Editor
Former UNC 3-point wizard Hubert
Davis likely will become the school's
third first-round draft selection in two
years at next week's NBA Draft.
A sampling of NBA scouts and
coaches indicated this week that Davis
will be selected somewhere in the middle
or toward the end of the first round:

head coach: "We've got the second pick
and the 35th pick, and he'll never make
it to 35."
University
seeks to
host debate
By Anna Griffin
Associate Editor
Preliminary plans are underway
to bring the three stars of the 1992
presidential season George Bush,
Bill Clinton and Ross Perot to
UNC for a debate sometime this fall,
University officials said this week,
The debate would take place in
September or early October, prob
ably in the Kenan Center or the Fri
day Center, said Stephen Tepper,
associate general secretary for the
Bicentennial Observance Office.
The debate would be a joint pro
duction by the Bicentennial Obser
vance Committee and Hamilton Pro
ductions, a Washington, D.C.- based
production company that has pro
duced several "Watch on Washing
ton" call-in shows, Tepper said.
Jay Hamilton, a UNC graduate
and head of Hamilton Productions,
said plans for the debate were in a
preliminary stage, and that the pro
duction company had not yet begun
to look for funding for the project.
"We haven't even begun reaching
out on it yet," Hamilton said. "Pres
ently, we're gauging whether there's
any interest in such a debate. You
have to get a sponsor before you can
go ahead with any solid planning,"
: Although he would like to use an
older campus building such as the
Playmakers Theater, Tepper said
weather conditions probably would
require organizers to hold a debate at
a newer facility. "I would like to hold
it in one of our older buildings, but
the air conditioning systems in many
of them no longer work," he said.
Chancellor Paul Hardin said
Tepper had mentioned the idea to
him at a recent meeting, although he
had not heard any specifics.
'That would be really neat, but I
haven't heard anything," he said. "I
would absolutely support plans to
bring a debate here."
The Committee on Presidential
Debates recently announced plans to
sponsorthree presidential debates and
one vice-presidential debate. The
commission said the locations of the
presidential debates, which will be
held Sept. 22, Oct. 4 and Oct. 15,
would be announced in several weeks.
UNC, Edwards claim victory
By Anna Griffin
Associate Editor
The Step-4 grievance hearing of UNC
Police Officer Keith Edwards against
the University ended Friday with both
sides declaring themselves the winner
in the two-year-old case.
Edwards, an 1 8-year veteran of the
UNC pol ice force, contends in her griev
ance that the University discriminated
against her because of her race and
gender when department leaders pro
moted Lt. Marcus Perry to the position
of crime prevention officer (CPO) in
November 1990.
Edwards was the other applicant for
the position, which involves coordinat
ing crime prevention programs between
the public safety department and UNC
students and staff members.
Although Judge Beecher Gray will
not issue a recommendation until July
or August and the State Personnel Com
mission will not make a final ruling
until this fall, Edwards' attorney Alan
McSurely said Monday that he hoped
Edwards would be given the CPO posi
tion. 'The simplest thing would be to place
Officer Edwards in the CPO job and to
give her an apology for the way they
have jerked her around for the past
couple of years," McSurely said.
Edwards contends that the decision
to promote Perry over her was another

Housekeepers
take aim at state
salary schedules
By Peter Wallsten
Editor
RALEIGH Several UNC house
keepers and their advocates traveled to
Raleigh last week, but many left frus
trated about what they called the state's
"three-corner" attack against their ef
forts for higher pay and better treat
ment. "We feel like a ball being thrown
around," said Marsha Tinnen, who has
been a housekeeper at the University
for about 1 1 years.
The group, which included lOhouse
keepers and one representative from the
Durham-based Southerners for Eco
nomic Justice, traveled in a state-owned
van, sponsored by the Campus Y, to
lobby legislators and state personnel
officials. They were scheduled to meet
with Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange, but
Hackney was forced to cancel.
The housekeepers, who filed a griev
ance against the University a year ago,
are demanding higher pay, better train
ing programs andfair supervision. They
hope to set up a meeting early next
month with legislators, state personnel
officials and Chancellor Paul Hardin to
discuss the issues.
"It's like the three-comer defense,"
said Matthew Stewart, who works with
attorney Alan McSurely and led the
group to Raleigh. McSurely is repre
senting the housekeepers in their griev
ances against the University.
Members of the housekeepers' move
ment have asked state Rep. Anne Barnes,
D-Orange, to organize the meeting. "It
could be a chance to just sit and talk
informally," Barnes said. Rep. Joe Hack

example of continuing discrimination
against her and other black and female
officers. Prior to 1987, Edwards was the
only black woman on the UNC police
force.
But David Parker, an assistant attor
ney general reporesenting the Univer
sity, said throughout the three-day hear
ing that previous complaints by Edwards
and other officers were not at issue and
should not be resurrected.
"This is a very simple case," Parker
said in his opening arguments last
Wednesday. "Keith Edwards applied
for a promotion. Another candidate got
the job. Keith Edwards has to prove that
but for her race, and but for her sex, she
would have gotten the job.
"We are not here to litigate the entire
history of Officer Keith Edwards."
Parker said Tuesday that University
officials had asked him not to comment
on the case.
In March 1990, Lt. Marcus Perry was
selected to fill the position of crime
prevention officer. In the move, Sgt.
Ned Comar, who was several weeks
from retirement, was moved into an
auxiliary position funded by a police
trust fund.
Because Comar moved into a posi
tion not salaried by tax money, the move
did not constitute apromotion, and there
fore the vacancy did not have to be
posted or opened to applicants, Parker
said during the hearing. "This was not

first-round knockout for Hubert Davis
lasted early into the second round."
Rob Babcock, director of scouting
for the Denver Nuggets: "I've got Hubert
going somewhere between 20 and 30,
may be even 1 8 to 30, but he could sneak
up in the middle of the first round."
Both Davis and UNC head coach
Dean Smith refused to comment until
after the draft.
Two of Davis' former teammates
were taken in the first round of the 1 99 1
draft. The Boston Celtics chose Rick
Fox with the 24th pick, while the Sacra
mento Kings chose Pete Chilcutt 27th.
Four years ago, few people thought
ney, D-Orange, and Sen. Howard Lee,
D-Orange, both said they would attend
such a meeting, and that they supported
the housekeepers' cause.
"I very much would like to see us do
more for the housekeepers," Lee said.
"I don't know if we can thisyear. There's
so much pressure on this budget and so
little revenue."
Although Chancellor Hardin refused
to organize the meeting, he said this
week that he would provide a location
for a conference between the four sides.
In the past two months, Hardin has met
twice with a group of about 10 house
keepers and their attorneys.
"In our prev ious meetings, they asked
me to convene a meeting with state
representatives," Hardin said. "I told
them that it wasn't within my power to
convene a meeting, but that I would
provide a place for them to meet if they
could organize something."
In its budget proposal finalized Fri
day, the state House of Representatives
voted to increase the "salaries of most
state employees, including the house
keepers, by $522. In addition, the House
approved measures that would allocate
unneeded funds from a performance
pay reserve to implement the acceler
ated pay plan, which was established in
1989 to help increase salaries of the
state's lowest-paid employees.
At press time, the Senate still was
conferring about its budget proposal.
Barnes said that although in past year
she had been unsuccessful convincing
legislature to increase the housekeep
ers' salaries, changes could occur in the

four UNC police officers, including

The University will welcome new
deans to the Schools of Pharmacy and
Social Work July 1.
William Campbell will end his term
as dean of the Auburn University
School of Pharmacy to head the phar
macy school at UNC, while the School
of Social Work wilt come under the
leadership of Richard Edwards, dean
of the Mandel School of Applied So
cial Sciences at Case Western Reserve
University.
The UNC Board of Governors ap
proved the appointments June 12.
Campbell seeks a balance
William Campbell will take over
outgoing Dean Tom Miya's position.
Davis would ever turn out to be pro
material. He came out of B urke, Va., as
a lightly regarded high school player,
his biggest claim to fame being that he
was the nephew of former UNC star
Walter Davis. Hubert Davis played spar
ingly as a freshman, averaging only 3.3
points per game.
His scoring numbers rose signifi
cantly the next two years, jumping to
9.6, then 13.3 ppg. As the lone senior on
the 1991-92 UNC squad, Davis led the
Tar Heels with 21.4 ppg on his way to
earning second-team All-ACC honors.

Phillips takes stands ,
By Josh Boyer
Staff Writer
On May 15, a crowd of more than
100 students, faculty and administra
tors gathered in front of Silent Sam to
express their outrage at the refusal of
the Simi Valley jury to convict the Los
Angeles police officers who allegedly
beat motorist Rodney King. Marion
Phillips, associate dean of the School
of Medicine, went just to listen but
ended up addressing the crowd when
someone suggested he speak.
Phillips' impromptu speech became
one of the most electrifying moments
of the entire protest.
"In times like this it becomes im
portant for people of enlightened good
will to stand up and say this does not
represent what I really feel our soci
ety, as a leader in the world, should
be," he said in an interview. "This is
not what I want to put my stamp of
silent approval on and pass to the next
generation."
Phillips, who holds masters degrees
in both theology and ministry, recently
said he rejected the media's character
ization of what happened in Los An
geles after the verdict as "riots," add
ing that he preferred the term "rebel
lions." "The country has not dealt with the
issues of justice, and therefore we con
stantly experience rebellions," Phillips
said in an interview last week. "I would
not say the Boston Tea Party was a
'riot.'
"The British would have said it, but
we say its a 'rebellion.' It's always a
question of who is defining it."
Throughout his nearly 20-year ca
reer, Phillips has taken stands and spo
ken out on issues such as civil rights,
the Vietnam War and divestment from
South Africa.
At times he has "caught flak" for his
stands, but he said: "If I have caught
flak, it's because I was with individu
als who have shaped some important
questions and improved the quality of
life, and I don't mind catching flak in
order to do that."
Phillips emphasized that he had not
taken monumental risks in standing up
for what he believed in.
Sitting in his office last week, he
said he wondered where one could
learn the sort of courage it takes to risk
one's life for a cause. Phillips said he
marveled at the courage of the African
Americans who fought for the Union
in the Civil War, knowing that the
Confederates kil led all African Ameri-
in Step-1
August 1990.
The two officers were interviewed
by John DeVitto, then-public safety di
rector, and Major Robert Porreca, the
CPO's direct supervisor. The interview
included about 30 questions, created by
DeVitto.
Edwards contends that Perry was al
lowed to submit written answers to the
questions while Edwards was subjected
"My challenge is to seek a balance
between research, instruction and the
service capabilities of the school,"
Campbell said. "Achieving both bal
ance andexcellence is the ultimate goal
of any academic program."
Miya said he was unsure what the
future held for his career. "I'm going to
continue to speak out for higher educa
tion and bring in some dollars to the
University," he said.
Campbell said his research interests
involved the long-term effects of drug
use. "I look forward to working with the
outstanding pharmacists in that field at
UNC," he said.
Miya taught at Purdue University in
the early 1 970s, the same time Campbell
- wasstudyingforhisdoctorateatPurdue.
"I am confident that Campbell will con
tinue to increase the school's image in
3-point range his last two seasons, hit
ting 48.9 percent (64 for 131) in 1991
and 42.9 percent (85 for 198) in '92.
"He's just a solid player in all as
pects," Douglas said. "He's not going to
make other players around him better,
but he's a no-mistake player and you
can do a lot worse than that."
Said DeLeo: "What impresses scouts
is he's almost a self-made player. He
came in, worked hard and every year
developed his game. That's the type of
player you know will continue to de
velop in the future with the right attitude
and work ethic that is necessary."

Marion Phillips, associate dean of the medical school, discusses his role on campus
cans they captured.
. Phillips recalled his days at Clark
Atlanta University when he and his
colleagues participated in the civil rights
movement.
"I don't care what anybody says, it
was the best of times," he said. "We
honestly believed we were fulfilling the
dreams of our forbearers that we
were beginning to change what was put
in place during Reconstruction.
"The leading industrial democracy
was being lead by young college stu
dents to change the very fabric of soci
ety. I doubt if anybody else will have
that experience in the next 100 years."
But Phillips said he also was optimis
tic about the present generation of col
lege students. He remembered Gloria
grievance hearing
to an oral interview. In a deposition
taken last December, Perry said he had
taken the test in a room by himself,
McSurely said.
But in his testimony last Thursday,
Perry said he had been mistaken when
he signed the deposition.
"I made a m isstatement at that point,"
Perry said last week. "I didn't take a
test. These were oral questions. I was
all three areas teaching, research and
service," he said.
Campbell said he realized he would
face obstacles in UNC's ongoing bud
get crisis. "Budget cuts are a way of life
in higher education, and the key is to
maintain quality education above all
else," he said. "It may be necessary to
reduce enrollment or reallocate funds."
Miya said, "Raising money from the
private sector will be an important func
tion for the new dean. It doesn't look
like we're going into the next fiscal year
fat, and the school must somehow meet
the challenge."
Campbell added that he hoped when
he got to Chapel Hill, UNC would "beat
Duke and win the ACC tournament."

Scott Layden, director of basketball
operations for the Utah Jazz, said Davis
received strong ratings because he's
already passed many of the tests that pro
players must go through regularly.
"He's played against the best compe
tition possible," Layden said. "He's
played in packed arenas with 20,000
people. He's had to hit big shots with
people in his face. He's been put against
all the variables that the great players
have been forced to do."

today had accepted the changes
Steinem's generation worked to
achieve for women. That comment
also is reflective of African-American
students, he said.
"They're going to take for granted
that things have changed, but they're
also going to run into some of the
backlash," Phillips said. "And they
are going to be mad.
"Many young people really believe
in the American dream. They believe
that if you've done your homework

they don't get that fair shot they're

McSurely also suggested that the

leadership. Richard Edwards said he
aimed to "work to secure a new build

the movement of UNC's School of
Social Work in a positive direction."
Edwards said he would deal with
the University' s budget cuts "the best
way lean.
"The budget problems require that
deans become much more involved in
fundraising activities," he said.
