Dr. Lucas will answer questions about personal grief and will talk about how to help others deal with it. He will answer such questons as: How do I deal with sudden death?; How do I comfort someone else?; What is the proper way to grieve? The Human Relations Commit tee sponsored a similar program with Dr. Lucas last year which was successful. Dr. Lucas has also conducted workshops on “Supporting the Bereaved Person,” “Normal and Abnormal Grieving,” and “Nurses’ Response to Sudden Death.” While this is not an upbeat topic, it is one that affects everyone. \A^men and Minorities Business Networking Seminar //I Networking for the Future Fri., April 18, 1986 2-5:30, Great Hall Panel Discussion Career Fair/Networking Session 'Bring Resumes Hanes Knitwear, Inc.

I don’t want to beat a dead horse, however, the recent resurgence of information in publications such as the Phoenix and the Daily Tar Heel force me to try to present another perspective on the issue. The facts, though well known, bear repeating. In the summer of 1985, Hatcher-Wilson was appointed as Campus Y Director. Among the candidates she was chosen over Gamble, then serving as Associate Director. According to all sources, different perspectives and pursuit of different goals led to mutual fellings of discontent and a major breakdown of communications. In order to preserve some type of order at the Y’s offices. Gamble was fired on October 9, 1985. However, due primarily to student protest and intense negotiation, Gamble was reinstated in late December, 1985. A condition to the reinstatement, then unknown to the public, was that Gamble sign a letter of resignation effective May 15, 1986. Nevertheless, in understandable concern for his job, Gamble went public with the conditions all parties had agreed to keep silent. According to Devi Sen, staff writer for the Phoenix, Gamble said the letter was, “an improper condition.” Further, he said, “No one else was going to make it public. I had to.” Of course, once the condition was known, the furor started again. Now, some other facts. Hatcher-Wilson is a black female. Gamble is a white male. This should have no bearing on this case. It does. We are all well aware of the poor affirmative action measures enacted by this university, and equaUy aware of the lackluster percentages of both blacks and women in administrative positions on campus. Very rarely does a black woman from out of the system recieve an appointment also desired by a white male with long experience at UNC. Further, Hatcher-Wilson did not fire George Gamble. True, she did make
