February 28, 1»84 Volume LX1II Number 37 Th« University of North Carolina al Greensboro Have a atory idea? Call ua at 379-S752 Theriault Talks About New Constitution BY MARK A. CORUM Cof?E4K«r In a public referendum being held today and tomorrow at UNC-G, the student body will vote on proposed changes to the student government constitution aimed at clarifying the document and allowing for more representative representation of student* in the decision-making pro-cesa. According to SG President Kim Theriault, this referendum is to put into law changes that were mandated by the chancellor of UNC-G-William Moran-more than two years ago. "The group that made these changes (in the constitution) was composed of all branches of student government. . , plus student* who were not involved with student government and faculty advisors such as Vice Chancellor Allen, Cherry Callahan, and Dr. Cliff Lowery. Of course, we were work-ing under the mandate of the chancellor to fix things, even though he did not spell out in his mandate exactly what he wanted to see changed," said Theriault. "We set out to revise the constitution so that it was more concise and to get rid of ambiguities and things in each branch that didn't fit. We wanted to make everything continuous. Secondly, we tried to make the branches of student government more united because in the past they've been working as three separate entities and that resulted in overlap and ineffectiveness. So, for one thing we are establishing an appropriations board that will hopefully be impartial and have a chance to look at all budgets before they reach the appropriations com-mittee. There probably won't be any delays as a result of that because it takes two weeks to get a budget before Senate." "This board would be chaired by the SG president and he would be responsible for appointing its members," she added. The most controversial and misunderstood of the changes pro-posed by the group are those regard-ing representation. "Representa-tion is the basic change and it seems to be the most controversial— people don't like it because they don't think it's going to work. A lot of them think the elections process for senators will become too com-plicated and some people just don't think it will be as representative as it's supposed to be," Theriault com-mented. "They think that since we are cutting down the number of senators from the Residence Halls, it will be taking representation away. What we are trying to do is to reassign the weight of represen-tation. Now, you can only elect a senator through the Residence Halls or through the Commuting Students Association. It's gotten to the point where a Commuting Senator can get elected just by writing his name on a piece of paper. We don't think some of them are really representing their consti-tuents like they should be. They are supposed to be representing 6,000 commuting students. In Residence Halls, a lot of students become senators because no one else wants the job, so they come in represen-ting themselves-not those they are supposed to be representing-and not reporting back. "We are trying to reach out to commuting students and give them better representation by reaching into the academic areas to elect senators. Commuting students are so varied that the only thing they really have in common is academics. So by electing senators out of the schools and colleges (of UNC-G) we hope that these senators will be able to know who their constituents are and represent them properly. This is not to say that we are moving in-to academics, we just see it as a way Welder Named Semifinalist For Truman Scholarship BY BOB PEARSON FHtlTN EifUf William R. Welder, a sophomore bio-chemistry major at UNC-G is a semi-finalist in the Harry S. Truman Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund. The purpose of the Foundation is to recognize President Truman's high regard for the public trust, his lively exercise of political talents, his broad knowledge of America's political system, and his desire to enhance educational opportunities for young people. This is the first year that UNC-G has had a semi-finalist. One resident of each state receives the annual award, while an additional fifty students are chosen at-large. All candidates for the Truman Scholarship possess a G.P.A. of 3.0 or above and have selected an undergraduate field of study that will permit permission to a graduate program leading to a career in government. Welder has also submitted an essay, dealing with Public Health. His essay, entitled "The Delanev Clause: Repeal or Amend?", deals with a part of the 1958 Food Ad-ditives Amendment to the Food and Drug Act of 1938, which controls the addition of cancer-causing substances to foods. Winners of the scholarship receive a maxirrHim of $6,000 an-nually for up to four years. Eligible expenses include tuition, fees, books, and room and board. Welder will attend an interview at Vanderbilt University on March 15 to complete the final stage of the selection process. Spring Fling In-Works Despite the recent wintery weather the Spring Fling Planning Committee (SFPC) has already begun making plans for a weekend of springtime activities. Spring Fling will be April 27-29. Rosalyn Weston, Chairperson for the SFPC, optimistically states that, "It is our hope that this will be a Spring Fling that the students on this campus will not forget for a long time." Weaton says that it is the responsibility of the SFPC to plan and schedule the events for the weekend. Once the Committee has finished making the schedule it will go to Elliott University Center Council and Student Development Advisory Board for final approval. The SFPC is made up of some EUC council members and a varie-ty of organizations. These organiza-tions include Student Government, Neo-Black Society, Commuter Stu-dent Association, Graduate Student Council, Interfraternity Council, In-tersorority Council, Residence Life and the University Media Board. The committee meets on Thursdays at 7 p.m. The meetings are open to all students. The next meeting will be held on March 15. By attending these meetings and voicing their opinions students will help decide what kind of Spring Fling they want to have.

The names of those submitting will not be printed; however, names and telephone numbers must be provid-ed in the event the questioner must be contacted for clarification. Ques-tions may be mailed or brought by the Carolinian office, care of the News Dept., in EUC. Names will be kept confidential. it it my understanding that several dorm* on campus have had telephone line access connector* in-ntaUed in each room. Although the university had said connectors would be installed in every dorm by this spring, there are still several dorms which do not have this ser-vice. When will the lines be connected* According to the Operations and Planning Manager for Residence Life Madeleine Bombeld, there is no specific date set for finishing the telephone line accesses, although the university is doing everything it can to have the project finished as soon as possible. During the summer and early fall, prewiring was done in all of the Quad buildings, Phillips/Hawkins and Cone. South Spencer was wired priot to these buildings. After com-pleting the work on these residence halls in early September, the university set out to negotiate with contractors and come up with a bid for the remaining work which had to be done. Because there are very strict rules regarding contracting prices for state schools, UNC-G had to send the bids off for approval. "The bids were such that we needed ap-proval from Raleigh," Bombeld stated. "To my knowledge we are still waiting for word on whether or not to go ahead...we need Raleigh's 'o.k.' before we can initiate further work on this project." Although no date has been set for completion of the project, Bombeld said she hopes the pre-wiring will be finished sometime this summer. "The university is committed to do-ing the prewiring and we are in-terested in finishing as soon as possible." to filter in these students and say, 'We're going to represent you from there' (the academic area)." As for the support that this pro-posed constitution change has had from the academic areas affected, Theriault stated that, "I've already talked to deans of all the schools and colleges and they seem very in-terested in having students involv-ed in their governing because there is a governing board for each school and college. But while the students could be elected from these boards, they are not in any way going to be appointed by the deans—they will be elected by students just like the others." There are a large number of changes in the proposal that will in one way or another affect moat students here at UNC-G. Theriault urged all interested parties to read the constitution to see how it will touch them and then vote at the referendum to show their approval or disapproval. Friedman Accepts Appointment as Dean of Business and Economics Dr. Philip Friedman, chairman of the Department of Finance and Economics at Boston University, has accepted appointment as dean of the School of Business and Economics at UNC-G. Dr. William E. Moran announced Dr. Friedman's appointment and said it becomes effective this June 1. Dr. Friedman thus will become dean of UNC-G's largest profes-sional school. The university's School of Business and Economics has grown rapidly through the years and now has 2,029 undergraduate majors and 489 other majors at the graduate level. The school has 76 full-time faculty members and offers studies in four departments: accounting, business administration, business informa-tion and support systems and economics. 'The School of Business and Economics and the university are indeed lucky to have secured Dr. Philip Friedman for the deanship and Dr. Friedman and family con-sider themselves lucky to have found our institution and Greensboro," said Dr. Elisabeth Zinser, vice chancellor of academic affairs. "It is a marvelous match. Dr. Friedman is a respected scholar and teacher. "He has a broad and creative view of undergraduate and graduate education in business. He has worked extensively with the business community, and with state and federal agencies on policy Dr. Philip Friedman issues. Dr. Friedman has a sound reputation as an administrator and he possesses boundless energy," said Dr. Zinser. She added that he was selected for the position following a national search which attracted 120 can-didates. The search commitee was chaired by Dr. Charles Woelfel, a UNC-G professor of accounting. At UNC-G, Dr. Friedman will replace Dr. Robert Cline, who has served as acting dean since August 1, 1983. Dr. Cline replaced Dr. David Shelton as dean after Dr. Shelton resigned the post, effective but July, after 13 years in it to return to full-time teaching and research within the Department of Economics at UNC-G. Dr. Friedman has bean at Boston University since 1977, and now serves as chairman of the Depart-ment of Finance and Economics within the School of Management. He also has served as associate dean of the school and director of the M.B.A. program within the School of Management. Contacted by telephone in Boston, Dr. Friedman said his mis-see FRIEDMAN pigc 3 FOCUS on UNC-G Approximately 300 high school juniors, seniors and transfer students from six states are ex-pected to attend "FOCUS on UNC-G" programs, scheduled for March at UNC-G. In addition, the students' parents and high school guidance counselors are expected for the semiannual FOCUS program which is designed to acquaint prospective freshmen and transfer students with the campus. The UNC-G office of Admissions this year will be using a new format for the FOCUS activities. A series of eight programs will be held, with one for each of the university's six professional schools, one for the College of Arts and Sciences and one for students who are undecid-ed on academic majors. Previously, a one-day program was held. "With this new format, prospec-tive students will be able to better visit the campus and the schools or departments in which they'll be tak-ing classes," said RaVonda Webster, an assistant director of admissions at UNC-G who is coor-dinating the FOCUS programs. "They'll be able to talk with facul-ty members, see where they'll be taking classes and generally get a better feel for what this university has to offer them. "It looks like this is going to be a very good series of programs from the initial response we've had. The day is planned so that students and their parents not only have the chance to see the academic side of the university, but also what the Doctor of Musical Arts to be Offered at UNC-G The doctor of musical arts degree, which is designed to prepare graduate students for careers as professional performers, composers and teachers in higher education, has received final approval and will be offered as a new program by the School of Music at UNC-G. The Board of Governors of the UNC gave its final authorization to the new degree program at its meeting in Chapel Hill on Feb. 10. The new doctor of musical arts ilfits is expected to place initial emphasis on a concentration in per-formance. In the future, however, concentrations in composition and theory may be added as well. At present, a decision has not been made concerning when studies in the new degree will begin at UNCJG. However, it the new pro-gram does not begin in the fall semester of 1984, it will be offered beginning with second semester of the 1984-85 year. Dr. Elisabeth A. Zinser, vice chancellor of academic affairs at UNC-G, said the university is highly pleased to have the new doc-toral degree approved by the Board of Governors. "For many years our university has been recognized for excellence in educating future musicians and teachers of music," she said. "Our faculty's capability in music scholar-ship and performance has continued to develop over the years to the point that we are prepared to add this superlative doctoral program in performance. It complements very nicely the doctor of music education degree which we already offer." Dr. Zinser pointed out that the new program is the only doctor of sec MUSIC page 6 social life is like at UNC-G." Dates for seven FOCUS pro-grams are as follows: March 14, School of Business and Economics; March 16, School of Nursing, March 16, School of Education; March 21, School of Health, Physical Educa-tion, Recreation and Dance; March 22, College of Arts and Sciences; March 28, FOCUS program for students who are undecided on ma-jors; March 30, School of Home Economics. Any students who are interested in attending one or more of the seven FOCUS programs should contact the UNC-G Office of Admis-sions weekdays at 379-6243. All of the programs are free, but registra-tion is encouraged to allow for attendance. Students and their parents will spend most of the mornings in joint sessions on the individual academic areas. Later, students will meet with representatives of campus organizations, tour the campus and visit Elliott University Center and residence halls. Parents also will tour the campus, in addition to at-tending special sessions on support services offered at UNC-G.
