In a letter sent to several UNC
faculty and administrators, a depart
ing biostatistics profussnrraises ques
tions about the future quality of the
University in light of the recent de
bate about the University tenure
policy.
David KJeinbaum, an award-winning
biostatistics professor who has
worked at UNC for 22 years, sent a
letter to select faculty and adminis
trators in August to inform them of
his decision to leave UNC for a
higher-paying position at Emory
University in Atlanta.
In his letter, Kleinbaum said he
thought the Urrhrrsity1 pay system
did not sufficiently reward excellent
classroom teachers.
"While the University values its
outstanding teachers, it doesn't re
ward them monetarily in the same
way it rewards those faculty who
contribute more directly to a
department's income," KJeinbaum
writes.
Through my career, I have greatly
enhanced UNC's educational repu
tation throughout the state, nation
and world."
In an interview last week,
KJeinbaum said he was concerned
that the University would not be able
to retain excellent teachers in the
future.

leaders and clinic employees as they
tried to raise awareness of Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome issues.
"We cannot continue to lose the youth
of our country. They are our future."
said Glenn Kent, an ACT-UP member
who spoke at the rally.
Throughout the demonstration, rally
participants took turns lying down to
symbolize the death of AIDS victims. A
whistle blew at seven-minute intervals
to represent the fact that every seven
minutes a person dies from AIDS.
"Look closely at this group," Kent
said of the actors. "They represent the
face of AIDS."
At each interval, the crowd chanted,
"How many more have to die before
you get involved?"
Dr. John Bartlett, a Duke University
physician involved in the treatment of
AIDS patients, said he was concerned
about the availability of care for AIDS
patients. He pointed out that 25 new
HIV-positive patients were admitted to
the Duke Adult Immune Deficiency
Clinic each month. One third of those
patients were women, and more than
half had no health insurance or were
protected by Medicaid.

team could not have hoped for a much
better way to open its 1992-93 season.
Behind a tenacious defense and a
blistering shooting performance, seventh-ranked
UNC cruised past Old Do
minion 119-82 Tuesday night before
18,807 at the Dean E. Smith Center.
Donald Williams led the balanced
scoring for the Tar Heels, hitting for a
career-high 21 points. Eric Montross
added 20, Brian Reese 19 and Pat
Sullivan a career-best 18 for UNC.
Most impressive was North
Carolina's shooting percentage from
the field. The Tar Heels' shooters were
unconscious, shooting 86 percent in the
second half and 75 percent for the game.
"That's definitely the best we've
played," said UNC head coach Dean
Smith. "I'm very pleased with a win.
"I think they'll have a good team. I
guess that means I think we'll have a
good team."
UNC won the game with intense
defense, setting up countless Tar Heel
layups. The UNC pressure was enough
to hold the Monarchs to 33-percent
shooting, while North Carolina had 18
steals and forced 23 turnovers.
"We played great defense," Smith
said. "I thought our defense was effec
tive the first 30 minutes.
"We're happy at this time of year to
play that well against a pressing team, a
quick team."
UNC handled the pressure without

McCormick said he thought the best
way to solve the problem was not to
appoint a committee but to go straight
to the administrators responsible for
faculty recruitment.
"The way to approach it is to raise
consciousness of deans and department
chairs of the need for faculty diversity,"
he said. "You bring faculty leaders to
the point where they can truly believe
the quality of their programs can be
enhanced by faculty diversity.
"I'm going to talk with the deans

Calabria, who looked impressive in
the preseason, was solid but not spec
tacular in his first regular-season game.
His line: no points or assists and two
turnovers in 13 minutes of play.
. The Beaver Falls, Pa., native handled
the press well enough before fouling
out with 6:25 to play. "Sometimes you're
in the wrong place at the wrong time,"
he said. "Probably, I'll call home and
tell them I fouled out."
Said Smith: "I'm not worried about
him bringing it up the floor. Those of
you who haven't seen him before, you

Two other UNC freshmen also be

Ed Geth and guard Larry Davis played
the last five minutes of the game. Geth
was the first frosh to score, hitting a
turnaround jumper in the lane. He later
added a dunk and a layup to finish with
six points. Davis also scored six, hitting
his one field-goal attempt and all four of
his free throws.

"I don't think putting any quota on it
would be of use," he said.
Maynor said a Native-American fac

for Native-American students and also
would be someone to whom Native

"It's very disheartening to have to go

Styrofoam recycling step
toward greener campus
Editor's note: This is tlie third in a
four-part series on recycling efforts

Long a taboo word in eco-friendly
terrmnology , styrofoam often conjures
images of the S-shaped packing mate
rial responsible for wreaking havoc
on the ozone layer and on diminishing
landfill space.
And now Carolina Dining Services
is promoting its use?
i CDS Director Chris Derby offered
a simple reason for the switch in Au
gust from paper to styrofoam cups in
Lenoir Dining Hall, Chase Dining
Hall, Union Station and the three South
Campus snack bars.
"The paper cups and items we were
using were wax lined, and there's no
current system for recycling them,"
Derby explained. "They're simply
covered in a landfill and buried, and
they don' t biodegrade because of lack
of exposure to air and water. At least
with styrofoam, we could recycle."
Derby said that to his knowledge,
UNC is the first university in the state
to participate in a styrofoam recycling
program. The program, dubbed
CARE, or Cups Are Recyclable, actu
ally includes plates, bowls and take
out trays in addition to cups.
"That translates into about 220,000
styrofoam items (that are used) per
month between all our campus opera
tions," Derby said. He estimated that
30 percent of this rimount actually was
recycled.

"You look at any activity that goes on

are generally not included. If you go
and look at the Bicentennial mural, there
is nothing there about Native Ameri

awareness on campus
would be for the group to have its own

Regarding cost, foam cups are less

the extra price of the densifying ma

almost makes the switch to styrofoam
