Michelle Thomas, president of the Black Student Movement and a BCC Advisory Board member, said advisory board Vice Chairwoman Trisha Mer chant and BCC Director Margo Crawford would be present at today's meeting, which begins at 2 p.m. at the Carolina Inn. But Adrian Patillo, working group member and a member of the Black Student Movement, said he originally heard that advisory board members and coalition members would be attending the meeting, but later was told by Mer chant that they would not be present at the meeting.

Chancellors processes at By James Lewis Staff Writer Chancellors from five of North Carolina's 1 6 state-supported universi ties met with the Board of Governors' Committee on Student Fees Friday af ternoon and discussed the student fees process at the different campuses. Chancellor Edward Fort of N.C. A&T University, Chancellor Larry Monteith of N.C. State University, Chancellor William Moran of UNC-Greensboro, Chancellor James Woodward from UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Chapel Hill's Chancellor Paul Hardin spoke at the meeting and fielded questions commit tee members had about student fees. . The group, composed of members of the BOG's Committee on Budget and Finance, has been charged with evalu ating student fees within the UNC sys tem and recommending to the BOG a system that could be implemented to monitor fees and fee increases systemwide. Each chancellor explained what stu dent fees were used for, how the fees were assessed and the process used to You can stick a fork in George Patillo said he thought one reason they were planning not to attend the meeting could be the leak of a memo by journalism Professor Chuck Stone Fri day which detailed a confrontation be tween Stone and Crawford. Advisory board members have re fused to meet with the working group up to this point, despite an open invita tion extended by Provost Richard McCormick, chairman of the working group. Merchant refused to comment on whether she or other members of the advisory board would be present at today's meeting. The possibility of BCC Advisory Board members attending working group meetings follows Thursday 's sec ond statement from Hardin stating that he supports a free-standing BCC. McCormick said he hoped members of the advisory board would come to the table so the working group and the advisory board could work together. McCormick said he had talked to advisory board members but would not comment on those conversations. "I look forward to collaborating with the BCC Advisory Board," McCormick explain fees 5 campuses increase fees at their respective university. Benjamin Ruffin, a com mittee member from Winston Salem and a U N C - C H alumni, said that the board was in the educational stage of the pro Paul Hardin cess. "Right now, we are just looking at how fees are used and what impact they have on students," he said. The invited chancellors and commit tee members said they thought the meet ing was very productive.

General As sembly last summer, UNC-C's See FEES, page 2 CjiJ attend. said. "The working group has said all along that we are flexible, including the terms that we meet with the BCC Advi sory Board." McCormick said the working group would be willing to work with the BCC Advisory Board at their table and on their terms. "It would be a great shame to throw away the work that (the BCC Advisory Board has) done," he said. Charlie Higgins, student body vice president and working group member, said he hoped members of the advisory board would be present at the meeting today. "They are certainly wanted," Higgins said. McCormick said today's meeting would concern the details of a free standing BCC. "1 hope it will focus on the working group's relationship with the BCC Ad visory Board and future cooperation between these groups," McCormick said.

The committee on budget and fi nance originally proposed the approxi mately $250 million budget increase at its meeting last Monday. The increase would provide funding for the 16 UNC system schools, the UNC Hospitals, various N.C. State ag ricultural programs, the N.C. School of Science and Math, and North Carolina's private colleges. The budget proposal will be pre sented to the N.C. General Assembly when it convenes in May. Betty McCain, chairwoman of the committee on budget and finance, said increased funding was necessary to maintain the high academic standard of the UNC system. "The request is large, but there is quality to maintain," McCain said. "We know the General Assembly must em phasize the needs of the state in all Cyclists for By Matthew Henry Staff Writer Chapel Hill Town Council member and University senior Mark Chilton was among a group of six cyclists who ral lied on Franklin Street Saturday to sup port Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton for president. The cyclists, who were biking across the state as part of the N.C. Environ mentalists for ClintonGore, stopped at the Franklin Street post office halfway through their 544-mile trek. The cyclists arrived at the post office in groups of two. The participants were a 45-year old businessman, his college aged son, two anthropology majors from Appalachian State University, a com puter technician and Chilton. The group gathered at the post office to discuss their trip and the motivations behind it with local media and support ers. Cyclist Joseph Monast said the group was surprised by the type of people who were concerned about the environment. "The rich can afford to move away from environmental problems, but the poor have to stick around and deal with them," Monast said. Chilton discussed the cyclists' rea sons for making the trip. "We are doing it because we are environmentalists, and (Clinton and Gore) are the environmental choice," he said. "We need an administration that cares about this country and not some country halfway around the world." Chilton said the group was cheered by the support it had received from people. "Five years ago, people weren't in terested in the environment," he said. Bush because it looks like he's done. Eeport: Fewer women hired for faculty in 1991 By Holly Stepp Staff Writer According to a report discussed Friday by the Faculty Council, very few women move into the position of full professor at UNC, and the per centage of women hired as faculty members has dropped since 1989. The report, written by the council's committee on the status of women, revealed that in 1990-91, all four full professorships given out went to men. The report also showed that the percentage of women hired dropped in 1990-91 . In 1989-90, women com posed 30.65 percent of new faculty, but in 90-91, the percentage dropped to 27 percent. According to the report, a larger percentage of women were hired in the area of health affairs than in aca demic affairs. Carol Jenkins, co-chairwoman of the committee and Health Sciences Library director, said she thought University officials needed to devote more time to studying these issues. Other council members tried to explain the figures, citing UNC's in ability to compete financially with budget increase for N.C. Rep. Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said previous budget requests had been denied by the General Assembly be cause of the lack of state revenue. He added that the economic situation in North Carolina now was improving. The proposed budget for the UNC system during the 1993-94 school year is $1.26 billion and $1.36 billion for 1994-95. A total of$ 122.1 million is appropri ated for academic salary increases, which will provide a 6-percent increase in pay for instructors each year for the next two years. UNC-system President CD. Spangler said the pay increase was nec essary for the UNC system to maintain its competitive reputation. "Our faculty is critical to the strength of our campuses," he said Friday. "We cannot afford to slip further behind." The BOG is requesting a $ 1 39.7 mil lion budget in 1993-94 for expansion and improvement in current operations. They also proposed a $659.4 million budget for capital improvements construction projects for the two year period. ClintonGore make Chapel Hill stop Chapel Hill Town Council member Mark "Now, all across North Carolina, people are concerned." Monast said he could not believe Bush had made it so far with his poli cies. "Now Bush is trying to use jobs ver sus the environment as the Willie Horton of this campaign," he said. Chilton said the debates had made it clear how out of touch Bush and Quayle were when it came to the environment. Monast stressed that the bike trip was not a vacation because the cyclists were taking time off from school and work, paying their own expenses and staying with friendly environmentalists along the way. big-name schools. Sidney Smith, a German professor, said the lack of women professors was not because the University failed to recruit women but because the women did not accept the positions that were offered to them. The ingredient missing here is that, to my dismay, some of our very best ; female Ph.D.s decline to go on the na tional job market," Smith said. "In 1982, we made an offer to a Princeton woman Ph.D., andshetumed us down, and we made no appointment that year because she was just that good we later discovered that she had a boyfriend in New York City.' : The report also stated that the com mittee, working with the Women's Concerns Coalition, had met with Chan cellor Paul Hardin to try to establish a clear and consistent maternity and family-leave policy, including provisions for stopping the tenure clock. The report also included the Board of Governors' approval of the new women's studies bachelor of arts de gree.

"The other day, in a 7-Eleven, a guy came up to us and told us he's noticed spots on the fish he's caught lately," Monast said. Monast said people responded to them even when they were on the road. "Today, three cars in a row drove by and gave us the thumbs-up sign," Monast said. "Chilton said, 'You can tell we're getting close to Chapel Hill." "Just then, a brand-new Cadillac ...

Michael Salemi, an economics pro- J lessor, said he questioned why the decision was made before the council ' meeting. We feel closed out," he said. Hardin said his announcement Thursday approving the working group's recommendation came in an effort to keep pace with the panel.
