PAGE 12/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/FEBRUARY 8, 1979 Minority quotas cited UNC guilty of reverse discrimination RALEIGH. N.C. (AP)—An attorney for tin slat.- says a ruling thai thi' University of North Carolina is guilty of reverse discrimination by requiring blacks on its honor court and student government may have a broad impact on North Carolina. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made the ruling Monday, reversing a lower-court ruling that the minority representation programs were acceptable. "There certainly could be some further implications to the ruling," said Andrew A. Vanore Jr., chief deputy state attorney general. "There are other provisions for minority representation based on the same principle." Vanore said the state is involved in another lawsuit in federal court over a provision requiring minority representation on the UNC Board of Governors. "It is my understanding that at a number of public elementary and secondary schools there are minority- representation provisions not only on the student government boards but also with respect to cheerleaders and other things," Vanore said. "This case could have some effect on those situtations." University spokesmen said administrators will meet to discuss a possible appeal of the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court after attorneys have had time to study the ruling. "The matter is being discussed seriously now, but we haven't seen the opinion," said Susan Ebringhaus. an assistant to Ferebee Taylor, chancellor of UNC- Chapel Hill. The UNC case had been before the appeals court in Richmond, Va., twice in the past, according to Vanore. The first time, a three-judge panel reversed a District Court ruling that the minority-representation provisions were acceptable. Later, the full court ruled against the university again. However, the high court sent the case back to the appeafs court for reconsideration in light of the Allan Bakke decision. Bakke, who is white, sued the University of California on grounds that the school had discriminated against him by giving preferential treatment to members of minority races seeking to enroll in medical school. Ihe UNC case involved two white students, Lawrence A. Uzzell anil Robert L. Arringron, who filed a suit challenging a requirement that the 18-niember Campus Governing Council, elected by students, must Include at least two persons of a minority race. They also contested an Honor Court requirement that any Student to be tried is entitled, upon request, to be judged by a panel that includes four of seven judges from his or her race or sex. Uzzell and Arrington contended that regulations relying on a racial criteria denied them their rights of equal protection and violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Unions not popular in NC CHARLOTTE, N.C (AP)—Three years ago, state AFL-CIO President Wilbur Hobby said public workers in North Carolina were ready for a big surge in unionization. "It's gonna bust right in on us," Hobby said. But the state law prohibiting collective bargaining with public employees still stands and a surge of public employees clamoring to join unions has not developed. North Carolina has been a tough state for unions to get a foothold in for two reasons. The state's right-to-work law says workers do not have to belong to a union to get a job or keep it, and North Carolina is the only state that specifically forbids collective bargaining with public employees. The one exception has been the states Ports Authority, which has bargained and signed a union contract with the International Longshoremen's Association. The state recognized the union after a federal court ruled in 1974 that dock workers were covered by the National Railway Labor Act because the ports use railroads. North Carolina's level of industrial unionization is about seven percent, the lowest percentage in the nation. James French, director of personnel and employee relations for the state League of Municipalities, said union interest among public workers has remained "stable." The league opposes public employees in unions. French said one way to keep unionizing activities to a minimum in the state is to improve personnel practices and policies. He said pay and benefits for public employees have improved "maybe to the point they feel they can get along without a union." But union leaders say they see a growing discontent among public employees. "I think these people have gotten to the point where they're somewhat frustrated," said R.V. Durham, president of Teamsters' Local 790 in Greensboro, which is talking with Winston-Salem police. "If people don't recognize the problem, the lid's gonna blow off one of these days." Bad example WASHINGTON (AP)—Anti-inflation chief Alfred Kahn accused Pennsylvania officials today of "thumbing their noses" at the government's inflation fighting program by approving wage increases for state officials. Kahn, chairman of the Council on Wage and Price Stability, criticized salary increases of 15 percent this year for Pennsylvania judges and Cabinet officers and eight percent this year and seven percent next year for legislators. He urged the legislature to roll back the increases to the federal wage standard of seven percent. SAPPHIRE VALLEY PRESENTS W.C.U.
