STATE APPROVAL A!

BY DOUG BUTTER
Next month the State Board of
Community Colleges is expected to
approve the appointment of William
Michael Heaves as president of
Brunswick Community College.
Following a 30-minute executive
session last Wednesday, college
trustees voted unanimously to appoint
Heaves permanent president,
subject to state board approval.
Heaves, who was appointed interim
president
m August, came
trustees fired the
institution's fo*:n- |||. *3l
in the midst of an Reave*
SBI investigation which led to the indictment
of one instructor on charges
of fraud and a state audit which
disclosed problems in the continuing
education program.
The state board is expected to approve
the appointment at its June 9
meeting in Raleigh. Local trustees
will ask the appointment be effective
retroactively to May 12.
Reaves. 39. who had been earning
S47.184 per year as interim president,
will receive an annual salary of
$49,392 from the state and a county
supplement of about $9,000. The state
salary was determined according to
a sliding pay scale.
i want you to know this is probably
the happiest time of my life,"
said Reaves in addressing the board
last week. *1 think I'm probably the
luckiest person in the world."
He said later that his major goals
at BCC are to continue campus expansion,
review and possibly
reorganize the structure of the college
and add more curriculum programs
to better meet community
needs.
The appointment of a permanent
president ended an eight-month
search, spearheaded by a committee
that worked closely with state
Department of Conununity College
officials throughout the period.
Although the state board was ex
peeled to act Wednesday on a proposal
which would amend the manner
in which college presidents are
selected, a state community college
official who worked with the local
search committee said last week the
state board will almost certainly not
require the college to make any
changes in its selection.
"The board would not change the
rules on them at this stage," said
Helen Dowdy, assistant to the president
for state board affairs. "They
would grandfather them in under the
old system."
During the April 23 trustees
meeting, the search committee
recommended two finalists who were
later interviewed behind closed doors
by the full board of trustees.

the finalists for about two hours.
Another closed meeting and interview
session was held May 10, with
that one lasting nearly 3l2 hours.
Trustees Chairman David Kelly,
who said all applicants were promised
confidentiality, would not release
the name of the other finalist. He did
say, however, that the person occupied
a "high administrative" post
at a community college outside the
state.
The search committee, which
began with about 80 applicants, announced
in March that it had narrowed
the field to seven.
Mrs. Dowdy added that she worked
with the local search committee
"even- step of the way," initially
outlining desires of the state board
and making suggestions about how
the search should be conducted.

approved the names of all
four applicants sent to the state, including
the two finalists, prior to the
search committee's final recommendation.
According to procedures currently
followed in the selection of a newpresident.

Under the proposed policy,
however, the search committee
would be required to send resumes of
all finalists to the state board for
review. The state board would then
return the resumes with any comments
and recommended pay scales
for each applicant.
This proposal, developed jointly by
a state board committee and the N.C.
Association of Community College
Trustees, also requires the local
search committee to seek the advice
of state community college officials
when establishing requirements and
criteria for applicants.

Trustees Chairman Kelly, who had
said earlier that he believed the state
board would accept the procedure
followed by the local search committee,
stated last week, "I still don't
find any reason not to be confident.**

policy.
"Right now, it's still up in the air,"
said Stanley. "A decision really
hasn't been made yet."
Mark Van Sciver, spokesman for
the state Department of Community
Colleges, said the decision to give
presidents a contract is entirely up to
the local board of trustees. The proposal
to change the selection process,
he added, does not deal with contracts
at all.
In addition to Kelly Holden, who
served as chairman, members of the
search committee were trustees
Cora Green, James Rabon, Charles
Lanier and Clarkie Munn. Business
instructor Robert Hill represented
the faculty on the committee, while
Small Business Center Director
Velva Hall represented staff.
Prior to coming to BCC, Reaves
was dean ot continuing education at
Sampson Technical College for 14
years. He is currently working
toward a doctorate in adult and community
college administration at
N.C. State University and said he expects
to receive that degree before
the end of the year.
Reaves, who said last week becoming
a college president was his
lifelong goal, currently lives at
Caswell Beach. He said his wife and
two daughters will be moving to the
area from Salemburg shortly after
school lets out in June.

BY RAHN ADAMS
At a time when postal customers
expect only cutbacks and rate increases,
Calabash area residents are
enjoying expanded service at the
town's contract post office.
On May 9, the Calabash Post Office
moved into a larger building all its
own at the Christmas
Shop/Dollhouse complex on N.C. 179,
where it has been located since 1981.
The complex is owned by Allen and
Peggy May, who hold the postal contract.
According to the Mays, the move
was made due to the "expanded and
fast growth of the Calabash area."
Not only has the unit more than
doubled its number of postal boxes to
604, the post office building is now
open 24 hours a day for boxholders.

Prior to the move, boxholders could
pick up mail only during the business
hours of the craft shop that housed
the post office.
Counter services, which are conducted
in a separate section of the
building, are still available from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday,
and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Saturday. The postal unit offers all
services except street delivery.
Calabash Mayor Douglas Simmons
and Shallotte Postmaster Frank Patton
participated in a ribbon-cutting
ceremony Friday.
"It's nice to have something like
this coming into Calabash," Simmons
said. "We're really growing."
Patton noted that the larger
building will benefit the postal service
and the community. "They

generate pretty much revenue," the
postmaster said. "It helps not only
the permanent residents but also
helps tourists to purchase postal services
without driving too far."
According to Mrs. May, who runs
the post office along with Homer Andrews,
retired Shallotte postmaster,
about 300 postal boxes were available
as of Friday. The old building's 290
combination-lock boxes were all
either rented or broken. The new
boxes are all key operated.
Outbound mail is picked up twice
daily on weekdays and once on Saturday,
and is transported directly to
the regional distribution center in
Kayetteville. Outbound mail taken
over the counter is hand-canceled
with a Calabash postmark. Inbound
mail arrives daily.
