Page 6-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEACOl STATE APPROVAL A! College Ti Reaves Tc 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.

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. Department of Community Colleges President Bob Scott, she continued. 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. the local board of trustees recommends one person for approval uy mt? oiaie tsoara 01 community Colleges. 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. According to Mrs. Dowdy, "If the policy were put into effect, even Town Creek VR5 Town Creek Volunteer Rescue Squad will serve fried chicken and barbecued pork dinners Saturday, May 21, starting at 11 a.m. at the squad building on U.S. 17 at Winnabow.

CALABASH MAYOR DOUGLAS S cuts the ribbon Friday for the new fice, located immediately behind its Calabash F Service At 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."

"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.
