UNC students devote summers
to helping migrant farmworkers
By Maria DiGiano
Staff Writer
While some college students spend
their summers helping Third World
communities halfway around the globe,
many overlook the opportunities to help
communities within the state.
Students Organized for Farmworker
Awareness is an outreach organization
for the growing population of migrant
workers in North Carolina. UNC stu
dents became involved in the program,
which originated at Duke University,
last year, and SOFA members hope to
recruit volunteers from N.C. Central
University this year.
"We are working to empower a popu
lation that really needs empowerment,"
said SOFA coordinator Kim Lawson, a
junior public health major.
More than 44,000 migrant workers
come to North Carolina every summer,
Lawson said.
"The program involves students do
ing community work with migrant work
ers and working with farmworker advo
cacy groups in improving the health and
education of the workers."
SOFA works toward this goal by
placing students in 10-week summer
internships with county and state agen
cies that aid migrant workers, including
farmworker legal services, East Coast
Migrant Head Start and county health
care agencies.
The agencies are underfunded and
understaffed, and they always need work
done by volunteers," Lawson said.
Last summer, eight students from
UNC and four from Duke did intern
ships in three N.C. migrant communi
ties: Raleigh; Prospect Hill, located just
north of Chapel Hil 1 ; and Newton Grove,
the largest of the three communities
located in the eastern part of the state.
"It is almost like being in a Third
World country only an hour away from
some very good universities," Lawson
said. "I had no idea there was such a
population (so close to) Chapel Hill."
This summer, SOFA members hope
to send 15 to 20 interns from UNC,
Duke and NCCU to these communities.
Through SOFA, students can serve
the migrant community in many ways,
from tutoring to performing tuberculo
sis tests.
"(The community) has so many prob
lems that students have a diverse range
of opportunities in how to serve them,"
Lawson said.
Because the majority of the migrant
workers are Hispanic, English tutoring
for the migrant workers and their fami
lies is very important, she said. "Most
farmworkers want to learn English, and
they definitely want their kids to learn
English."
Although most of the student interns
are bilingual, it is not a prerequisite to
join SOFA.
"It is important not to discriminate
against non-Spanish speakers," Lawson
said.
Bilingual students can serve as trans
lators in health-care clinics and in legal
services.
Student interns also provide outreach
services to migrant camps by adminis
tering health screening, providing edu
cational programs on health care and
tutoring English.
SOFA interns also help the migrant
workers with transportation and other
everyday problems. "We help out with
simple stuff, like getting your driver's
license," Lawson said.
The cost of each internship ranges
from about $500 to $1,000, depending
on the cost of living and "how you feel
about peanut-butter-and-jelly sand
wiches," she said.
Although students did their own fund
raising last year, Lawson hopes the
Center for Documentation at Duke will
help students raise more money this
year, she said.
Students are required to take a one
hour course to prepare for the intern
ships. Each week, guest lecturers, such
as farmworkers, representatives from
agencies and government staff, speak
on migrant issues.
Students also must read current ar
ticles on migrant issues compiled in a
coursepack and keep a weekly journal.
This summer, a Duke professor will
conduct a class during the internship at
Newton Grove, where the majority of
the interns will be based.
Together, theclass and the internship
provide an excellent learning experi
ence for students, Lawson said. "I
learned a lot more last summer than
from any class or any textbook."
Students interested in joining SOFA
should attend a meeting at 8:30 p.m.
today in 206 Union.
NASA will not change launch rules
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
NASA decided Tuesday against easing
its Challenger-inspired cold-weather
launch rules, a move that could delay
the liftoff of space shuttle Discovery on
its secretive military mission.
Discovery was scheduled to blast off
at 6:59 a.m. today with five astronauts
and a Defense Department satellite be
lieved to be a reconnaissance space
craft. But unusually low temperatures
were forecast for Wednesday, which
could cause a delay.
Cold weather contributed to the
deadly 1 986 explosion of the Challenger,
which was caused by a leak in a joint on
the right solid fuel rocket booster. It was
36 degrees during Challenger's liftoff,
15 degrees lower than for any previous
launch.
Today's temperature was expected
to be 47 degrees before launch with
winds of 4 mph gusting to 7 mph.
Meteorologists put the odds of ac
ceptable weather at 60 percent. Their
only worry was that conditions might
violate NASA's rule prohibiting launch
if the temperature dipped below 47 de
grees with winds below 5 mph for more
than 30 minutes once fueling began.
Mission managers had considered
easing the rule so Discovery would have
a better chance of lifting off as sched
uled. Although data collected by a spe
cial engineering team suggested the
guidelines were "extremely conserva
tive," managers decided against chang
ing the criteria so close to launch time.
"We're certainly not going to do any
thing that we don't feel is advisable,"
shuttle program manager Leonard
Nicholson said.
Nicholson said the engineering team
had been reviewing launch weather cri
teria for the past year to see whether the
guidelines were too stringent, and they
recently submitted proposed changes.
As for this week's deliberation regard
ing Discovery's flight, he insisted, "It's
not an 1 lth-hour activity."
Indian
A final decision on temperature lim
its for future shuttle launches is ex
pected before Endeavour's flight in mid
January, NASA said.
NASA has safely launched shuttles
26 times since the Challenger accident,
which killed all seven astronauts aboard.
Discovery's mission will be the 52nd
shuttle flight and the eighth, and final,
shuttle flight of the year. It is also planned
to be the last shuttle mission dedicated
to Defense Department work.
The crew of five military men are to
deploy the satellite six hours after liftoff
while orbiting 230 miles above Earth. A
news blackout will be imposed from the
time Discovery reaches orbit until the
satellite is released from the cargo bay.

campus groups.
"A space anywhere would probably
be just as beneficial as courses," he said.
"If we take those steps, the situation for
Native Americans would be much bet

anything about getting space for the
group but that he would look into rais
ing consciousness about the lack of

and not something else," he said.
But Garland Hershey, vice chancel
lor for health affairs and Kleinbaum's
superior, said financial constraints
plagued all faculty salaries.
I think almost all of our professors
are underpaid for what they do," he
said. We have a hard-working, highly
respected group of faculty."
Hershey said UNC administrators
gave equal consideration to teaching,
research and public service when evalu
ating faculty.
Barry Margolin, biostatistics depart
ment chairman, said creative teaching
was rewarded the same as creative research.
Not all teaching is innovative and
clear," Margolin said. "It's more diffi
cult to assess the creativity and
innovativeness of good teaching. I think
there's no policy of discrimination that
I would be aware of."
Kleinbaum said faculty members also
must examine the relative value of teach
ing and research after tenure was
granted.
"Just because you got tenure, promo
tion, doesn't mean you get a compa
rable salary," he said.
"It's not simply the issue of tenure,
but can the University keep people here
with its attitude or will it lose people?"
Kleinbaum won the Edward
McGavran Award, a faculty teaching
award in the School of Public Health, in
the 1970s.
"In my case, I have produced in terms
of "written stuff, but am widely known
as a teacher," he said. "I can make
complicated statistical things under
standable to people without strong math
ematical backgrounds."
Kleinbaum said newly hired faculty
members in his department often began
at the University with salaries compa
rable to his.
"New people come in and get a salary
similar to mine," he said. "I never got a
high raise, because I never brought in

big bucks (through research grants)." '
Kleinbaum said one assistant profes-:
sor he knew was making $ 1 2,000 a year;
more than him. ;
Emory and the Center for Disease;
Control have said they would pay;
Kleinbaum $95,000 a year, a signifi-;
cant increase over the $60,000 a year he;
currently earns at UNC.
"We just couldn't compete on the1
salary level," Margolin said. i
For a 22-year veteran of the faculty,'
$60,000 is an unusually low salary,
Kleinbaum said.
Although teaching is vital to UNC'si
reputation, Kleinbaum said he doubted i
that good teaching received the same!
compensation as good research. ;
"People come here because of my
teaching," Kleinbaum said. "I'm leav-,
ing because the University was not re
warding me for that.
"Because of the reward system, this
University will lose a lot of good fac
ulty." Kleinbaum emphasized that he would
have stayed in Chapel Hill if his salary
had even approached what he assessed
as his worth.
"If my salary figure was anywhere
close to what it is at Emory, I'd consider
staying," Kleinbaum said.
The University currently does not
even have the means to take special!
measures to try and keep departing fac
ulty members, Kleinbaum said.
"If the University had some sort of
fund they could dip into to keep faculty!
they want to keep, they could have done,
something," he said. 1
His teaching record was not enough!
to make the University consider trying!
to keep him, Kleinbaum said. n
"If I was bringing in big-time grant'
money, there would be more of an effort?
to keep me," he said. "That makes some
sense, but if they only consider grant-'
getters, they may lose good teachers,
who can be employed elsewhere."
Kleinbaum has co-written two text-!
books related to applied biostatistics.,
He said most of his work focused on
developing new courses and teaching;
material. ',
"My feeling is if the University in!
some sense really cared about outstand-i
ing teaching, they would go out of their'
way to keep someone of my creden-
tials," he said. ,
Hershey said the University would
miss Kleinbaum. "There's no question;
his departure is a loss."
