Currence, a staff attorney with the North Central Legal Assistance Program, said WUNC radio's license renewal papers showed no Black full-time employees and proposed an advisory committee including faculty and BSM officers.

Black Ink (Black Student Movement, UNC), October 27, 1978, p. 2 · Also: The Daily Tar Heel, December 4, 1978, p. 2

The Daily Tar Heel, January 11, 1979, p. 5

  5. UNC trustees' committee rejects the design for a new WUNC radio building The Business and Finance Committee of the UNC Board of Trustees turned down the proposed design for a new WUNC radio building on N.C. 54, beside the Friday Continuing Education Center, as unattractive and out of keeping with University buildings. WUNC, crowded into Swain Hall and the Smith Building, had raised $1.25 million of the $2.5 million cost since 1987; trustees chairman Earl Phillips said the board would no longer be a rubber stamp. The Daily Tar Heel, September 13, 1989, p. 6
  6. WUNC raises $1.5 million toward a new station on University land WUNC-FM's general manager Bill Davis told its community advisory board on Oct. 17 that the station had raised at least $1.5 million, $500,000 of it from a Buy a Brick appeal, toward a $2.25 million, 12,999-square-foot building on a $200,000 lot the University gave on Laurel Hill Parkway, to replace its flood-prone quarters in Swain Hall's basement.

  7. WUNC radio gives up its plan for a new station building after its fund drive falls short WUNC's effort to raise $2.5 million for a new station near the Friday Center, begun in its 1987 capital campaign, failed at $1.2 million, after about $52,000 had gone into building plans. The station told contributors the plans were halted, and its advisory board weighed renovating its cramped Swain Hall studios, leasing or buying space off campus, or issuing construction bonds for a smaller building. The Daily Tar Heel, March 19, 1991, p. 1
  8. The UNC Board of Governors approves funding for a new WUNC radio building near the Friday Center The Board of Governors approved funding for a station building of more than $1.3 million for WUNC on Mason Farm Road near the Friday Center, sending the project on to the General Assembly. The station, whose offices were in the Smith Building and studios in Swain Hall, had raised more than $850,000 privately and had a University loan guarantee for the rest. The Daily Tar Heel, March 16, 1993, p. 1
  9. UNC trustees approve designs for a WUNC-FM building and a business school parking deck On June 25, 1993 the UNC Board of Trustees approved the design of an 8,000-square-foot WUNC-FM station on the Mason Farm property beside the Friday Center, a five-story, 500-car deck north of the Kenan Center for the new business school, and an addition on the east side of Graham Memorial. The same day it raised campus meter rates to 75 cents an hour and turned two sets of tennis courts into parking. The Daily Tar Heel, July 1, 1993, p. 3
