Pavilion officials seek
ByPJ.Walcus
Staff Writer
Contractors want to eliminate previ
ously approved underground parking
for the proposed Pavilion complex on
West Franklin Street.
Antoine Puech, a developer for the
project, presented his application for a
Transportation Management Plan at a
Chapel Hill Town Council public hear
ing Monday night.
"Our aim is to reduce employee park-"
tag," he said. "We want to reduce by

i risen for people who do not make a
living wage," she said.
! DuringtheirtripThursday.thehouse
! keepers met with two officials in the
! state personnel office. Although Don
Huffman, position management direc
tor for the state agency , closed the meet
ing to the press, the two-hour session
was marked by raised voices and verbal
frustration.
Observers outside the room heard at
least one member of the group raise her
voice at Huffman when he said the
legislature may not have the funds to
eliminate the three lowest pay grades
50 through 52 which range from
$1 1,315 to $18,757 a year. According
to a fact sheet from the State Employees
Association of North Carolina, 25 per
cent of the employees in the three low
est pay grades work at the University.
"Don't tell me they don't have money
for salaries," one housekeeper said to
Huffman. "They have money for your
salary. ... They're getting more money
on the street than we get by coming to
work every day."
After Huffman responded that he
hadn't "gotten a promotion in 1 0 years,"
the housekeeper noted the probable dif

. The council is expected to vote at its
July 6 meeting on whether to approve
the Transportation Management Plan.
In May 1990, council members ap
proved a special-use permit modifica
tion for the Pavilion, which consist of
an office and commercial building on
West Franklin and a residential struc
ture on West Rosemary Street.
In March, the council amended the
ference in their salaries. The starting
salary for a housekeeper is $ 1 1 ,3 1 5, the
minimum amount in pay grade 50. "You
don't need a promotion," she said.
"You're not starting on level 50."
Later, Stewart said he thought the
meeting may have had a positive out
come. "The whole day was a positive
experience," he said. "The process was
good for (members of the housekeep
ers' movement) to learn. It was one
more piece in the jigsaw puzzle."
But Tinnen, who has been to Raleigh
four times in two weeks, said she was
frustrated after the meeting.
"I don't think Mr. Huffman knew
what he was supposed to be saying,"
she said. "He made me angry. Poverty
exists. It's not going away."
Barbara Prear, one of the housekeep
ers who traveled to Raleigh, said she
didn't learn much during the meeting.
"I expected to find out more than I did."
Some housekeepers said they thought
racism was partially to blame for their
inability to accomplish their goals with
state officials. "The majority of us are
black," Tinnen said.
Prear added, "Nobody wants to say
race is why, but still that's what it is."
After the meeting, Huffman said his

Puech proposes to reduce the num

He said he would provide a combina

passes, a Pavilion bicycle club, ride
sharing and the use of Pavilion vans.

money the legislature allocates for the
housekeepers' salaries. The state per

tions for salary increases, he said.
"Hopefully these folks were helped
in knowing what questions I can an

trating for them when they have to talk
to different people."
Stewart said members of the move

"I think the Transportation Manage
ment Plan is wonderful, but what hap
pens to the rest of the patrons and em
ployees?" asked council member Julie
Andresen. "I think we should make a
conscious decision regarding the possi
bility of putting a deck on the current
parking lot in the future."
Council member Art Werner said
reducing the number of parking spaces
might not make a difference. "My only
concern is, how are we going to know if
it works? What happens if we get stuck
with the same amount of traffic?"

While in Raleigh, the group also met
with representatives from Black Work
ers for Justice (BWFJ), who recom
mended that the housekeepers join work
ers across the state in demanding better
treatment.
"You have to have someone to speak
up for your rights, to file grievances,"
said BWFJ representative Rukiyah
Dillahunt. "We'reabout workers' rights,
and we want workers to be empowered.

rently are debating whether to put the
bond issue on the ballot.
"The building issue is not a matter of
luxury," Turner said. "We have en
countered successes and delays, and we
are waiting with the hope that the bond
issue will be voted in."
Turner said he also hoped that
Edwards would further stimulate fund
raising in the School of Social Work.
"The school had no development pro
gram prior to the Bicentennial Observa
tion," Turner said. "We have finally
succeeded in raising endowment funds
for faculty chairs. I feel confident that
Edwards can give leadership to raising
funds for student scholarships."

Phillips said the most important re
sponsibility he faced in his job as asso
ciate dean was providing all segments
of the citizenry with access to educa
tion. Recruitment of minority faculty is
also important, Phillips said.
"(At UNC) we've had top-notch fac
ulty recruited away, and that's an area
of real concern," he said. "I think its
important to have our students that we
are training for leadership engage in
dialogue with faculty that represent all
the perspectives. That would make it an
exciting place."
Stuart Bondurant, dean of the School
of Medicine, credited Phillips with help
ing more African Americans graduate
from the UNC medical school than from
all but four medical schools in the na
tion. "Dr. Phillips has traveled endless
miles to undergraduate schools to en
courage students to consider our school,"
Bondurant said. "Hiscontributions have
been very important in achieving the
fine record we have."
Phillips' concern with allowing for a
wide range of perspectives carries over
to the issue of a free-standing black
cultural center. He said he was im
pressed that on several campuses he has
visited, including Harvard, Yale,
Princeton and Stanford, cultural centers
have prospered and have added to their
university communities.
"It is to the credit of those (universi
ties) to have first-rate centers, well
funded, to look at what W.E.B. DuBois
called 'the gifts of black folks' the
enormous contributions made by Afri
can Americans not just to African
American culture, but to the larger cul
ture." Phillips administers theminority high
school summer research apprenticeship
program, serves on the School of
Medicine's admissions committee,

His research, he said, is in poetry.
"I don't think you can take life too
seriously," Phillips said. "So much of
what I do is about serious issues, and
one must have some balance. Poetry
gives me that balance which allows me
to change the angle from which I cap
ture reality."
Edwards
from page 1
Lt. Danny Caldwell, who attended
CPO school at the same time as Perry,
testified that the questions asked by
DeVitto were almost exactly like those
on the school's final exam. "(DeVitto's
questions) look like the test we took the
last day of CPO school," he said. "Most
of the questions are the same."
DeVitto testified that after Edwards
balked at the initial interivew format, he
decided to leave the decision up to an
outside panel.
The two applicants were interviewed
in November by a three-member panel
made up of law enforcement officers
from other state institutions. The panel,
which consisted of a white man, a black
woman and a Hispanic man, voted
unanimously to recommend that Perry
be given the CPO position.
"(Edwards) acted real hostile (dur
ing the interview)," said Gloria Graves,
a CPO from North Carolina A&T who
served on the panel. "It seemed like she
had bad feelings toward the depart
ment. She didn't seem very concerned
about the questions we were asking."
On June 22, jury selection begins in
Edwards' civil suit against the Univer
sity and seven present and former UNC
administrators. Edwards, who is seek
ing $250,000 in damages, will cite acts
of discrimination and retalitation be
ginning in 1987 and leading up to the
present, McSurely said.
