New public library to house sculptures By Maile Carpenter Staff Writer The new Chapel Hill Public Library will house a local sculpture project, funded in part by a $3,000 grant from former Mayor Pro Tempore Nancy Preston, a local arts development com mittee decided this week. The new public library will be lo cated on Estes Drive off Franklin Street. Joe Rowand, a member of the public arts development committee, said the committee chose the library for the sculpture project after visiting every public site in Chapel Hill. “We want to put Chapel Hill into the next century,” he said. “It puts a kick in your step to see what the creative mind can do visually.” Preston said the endowment com mittee chose the library because it drew so many people from the town. Sex survey finds men’s views of condoms discouraging The Associated Press WASHINGTON The average American man under 40 lost his virgin ity at 17, makes love once a week and has had seven sexual partners in his lifetime, a government-funded study says. Only 2.3 percent of the men reported any homosexual activity in the past decade, and just 1.1 percent said they had had exclusively homosexual rela Hillsborough the magistrate’s office, they debated whether to sign a release stipulating that they could not go back to South Build ing. Schroeder advised them to sign the document. “You do not want to go to jail,” he said. Greeks said. “We need to tap into the leadership and organizations’ potential to address concerns on campus.” Moses said he thought the nature of black and white Greek systems could promote racism. “It disturbs me that our University doesn’t have as much interaction be tween the races as other campuses,” he said. “We as Greeks have a responsibil ity to extend ourselves beyond igno rance.” Christopher Kabrhel, a panelist and a member of Chi Psi, a white fraternity, said he thought racial separation ex isted in much of the campus, not only within fraternities and sororities.

The donation would be used partially to fund the library project and another project to put art displays in public buildings, Preston said. Preston said the committee still did not have enough funding for the two projects. The art display project would cost about $4,000, and the sculpture could cost up to SIO,OOO, she said. Rowand said he would like to see Chapel Hill adopt a policy requiring 0.5 percent of new building funds to be earmarked for public arts. Some U.S. cities already have adopted similar poli cies, he said. Rowand said funding for the projects would be the most serious concern for committee members. “(Funding) will all have to come from the private sector,” Rowand said. tions, according to the survey published Wednesday in Family Planning Per spectives magazine.

Moses said he agreed with Kabrhel. “Ignorance is the biggest problem,” he said. Many black and white Greeks blamed the other’s system for contributing to racial tensions. A member of Delta Delta Delta, a white sorority, said whites did not know how to become involved with tradition ally black Greek organizations because of their secretive rush systems. Members of the panel and audience were invited to Players after the summit for a celebration to further relations between the organizations.

But Rowand said the committee would ask town residents for volunteer help on the public arts projects. “It’s going to take a labor force,” he said. “We can’t do it without volun teers.” Preston said that during her term she thought Chapel Hill needed to invest in public art, so she donated the money to start arts development projects. “When I headed the construction of the addition to the municipal building, I thought it would enhance the building to have art on the walls, but the budgets were too tight,” Preston said. “I thought this would be a nice gift to give to the town.” Rowand said local artists would be wealth of data about men’s sexual hab its and their attitudes about condoms and the risks of becoming infected with AIDS. But 96 percent of married men said they had just one partner in the 18 months before the survey was conducted in 1991. And while 94 percent of the married men had sex in the previous four weeks, only 41 percent of the single men and 32 percent of divorced men had made love that recently with a woman. The survey found that 27 percent of the sexually active men had used a condom in the previous four weeks. But attitudes about condoms were mixed: 75 percent said condoms re duced pleasurable sensations during sex, but the same number agreed that using a condom showed they were “a con cerned and caring person.” But Bachrach said it was trouble some that almost one in five of the men Living said. “It was like going from the barren ness of civilization to somewhere so rich with life and love of living.” Surwit also felt uplifted in Israel. “It’s a place where Jews can actually live and be free.” Friday’s program is just one of many programs Surwit and Schonfeld each have given about their experiences.

CITY invited to submit sculpture ideas for consideration. He added that a commit tee of University art professors or other professionals could be formed to select the sculpture. Rowand added that the projects still were in their early stages. “We’re just beginning to get our feet wet,” he said. Rowand said the committee’s projects would keep Chapel Hill in sync with a nationwide trend emphasizing public arts improvement. Town council member Joe Herzenberg said the committee’s pro posals had been favorably received by town officials. “It’s something that had whole hearted support from the council,” Herzenberg said. “(Our mission) is to be supportive, to encourage what they ’ re doing and maybe, at some point, to approve something.” believed wearing a condom implied that either he or the woman had AIDS. Among the findings: —Ninety-five percent of men in their 20s and 30s are sexually experienced. The average age of first sexual con tact was 17 among white men and 15 among black men. —White men were less likely to use condoms (25 percent) than black men (38 percent) or Hispanic men (39 per cent). —Single men were more than twice as likely as married men (45 percent to 18 percent) to use a condom. —Ninety-six percent of the men knew that AIDS destroyed the immune sys tem and has no cure. —One-fourth of men worry fre quently about AIDS. —College-educated men were more likely to have oral or anal sex. —Twenty-seven percent of men are embarrassed to buy condoms. Another of the experiences Surwit discusses is her visit to Treblinka, a Polish camp where the Nazis murdered two of her great aunts. The camp is not there anymore, but a memorial of two huge gas chamber doors and 17,000 stones—representing entire communi ties, not individuals marks the place where thousands died. “It was like I was going back and seeing where my family was killed,” she said. “There was a lot of emotions and crying. But it was also worth it.” 306 W. Franklin St • 967-8093 Mon.-Sat 10-6 American Airlines hub critical to area success! By Jimmy Dula Stag Writer The Triangle could lose national status and business if American Air lines closes its hub at the Raleigh- Durham International Airport, accord ing to area government and business leaders. If American Airlines abandons its RDU hub, students at area universi ties could be inconvenienced, accord ing to Pamela Davison, economic development director of the Triangle J Coundl of Governments. “If American leaves, it would make it more difficult for students and busi ness people to get nonstop flights into and out of die area,” Davison said. Joel Harper, president of the Chapel HiU-CantoaroCharnberof Commerce, said the biggest local impact would be in a loss of status for the Triangle. “Status is attached to hubs—if we lose the hub, we lose status,” he said. With 13 other municipalities, the Chapel Hill Town Council approved and sent a resolution supporting con tinued expansion at Raleigh-Durham International Airport to the president of American Airlines Wednesday. American Airlines President Rob ert Crandall was in Raleigh to give his annual address to the airline’s em ployees. He was presented with the resolutions at a reception in his honor at the Governor’s Mansion. The resolutions were the result of lobbying efforts by the Triangle J Council of Governments, an organi zation of 26 area governments de signed to develop aregional approach to economic growth anddevelopment. Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun said the council supported the resolution because it was in the interest of the economic well-being of the Triangle. “We all think RDU is important to us for business and pleasure travel, so from page 3 I 968-3173 * Well pick up and store almost anythingfcf Call today for information J? summer .

But Hunt’s press secretary Rache) Perry said Wake County could lose as many as 4,ooojobs if American were to close its hub. ; “The governor’s job is to fight for jobs in North Carolina, no matter what the industry,” Perry said. At die reception, Crandal 1 reviewed the marketing plan he had unveiled at a press conference just moments be! fore, Perry said. The plan focuses on three ways American can increase profits in the coming months. t ■ American will provide freeflights to economic developers and special fares to potential employees; ■ American will work with con vention and visitors’ bureaus to prev mote the Triangle; and ! ■ American will develop an ag gressive advertising campaign in cit ies north and south of RDU to feed traffic into the hub. 5
