The off-campus residence halls were to host “Bicentennial Countdown 200” from 7 to 11p.m. But organizers said Sunday that the company responsible for setting up the events would not set them up in the rain. Forecasters have put the chance of rain at 75 percent, organizers said. The event was to include games and a slide show. Students still plan to walk to campus for PREPARATIONS FROM PAGE 1 said the company spent several months designing and creating the banners. He is confident Realizations will finish its work successfully, he said. “Even if we have to set up in the rain, we’ll be fine,” he said. Bicentennial Observance staff members also were organizing materials Sunday for the Welcome Center in Woollen Gym. • Brock Winslow, associate director of the Bicentennial Observance Office, said the Welcome Center would be the “com mand post” for this week’s Bicentennial activities. Over 100 volunteers will register and give information to visitors. Winslow said he had enjoyed preparing for the Bicentennial despite the time and work involved in planning such a major event. “It’s very challenging 29 events in two days,” Winslow said. Although many events are being run by paidstaffmembers, bothTepperand Chan cellor Paul Hardin emphasized the impor tance of student volunteer involvement in the observance during a Sunday news con ference at Kenan Stadium. “This is going to be very much a stu dent-organized celebration,” Hardin said. Tepper said he was pleased with the diversity of students who had volunteered. He said the large number of volunteers represented the strong feelings of owner ship that students had for UNC.

Mike Crisp, a junior from Gastonia, said, “I decided to volunteer because I thought this would be a great experience— something that would happen only once in a lifetime.” Clinton’s visit also has increased Uni versity Day anticipation. Many organizers expressed hope that his speech would be remembered years later just as people still remember President John F. Kennedy’s visit to UNC in 1961. “People still talk about John F. Kennedy’s address in 1961, and the same thing will be true here,” Hardin said. “I hope all the students come I think it’s the kind of thing they would look back at and regret that they weren’t actually in the stands.” Bicentennial officials announced Sun day that Kenan Stadium gates 2 and 6 would open at 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Li’s strike ended Aug. 31 after the Chinese government admitted that political prisoners existed and prom ised the safety of Wang and Chen. Kevin Moran, chairman of the Student Bicentennial Planning Committee, said Li’s position as the first speaker of the events was significant to students. “From the very beginning (of the cel ebration) students are involved. I think that’s important to students, ” he said. “It’s a nice way to be starting out.” The process to choose a speaker began almost two years ago, Moran said. “We generated close to 100 names from a variety of students and organizations across campus,” Moran said. “We had names from Desmond Tutu and Mikhail Gorbachev to Paul Simon.

In spite of the recent additions to the Bicentennial activities, Moran said some students still weren’t sure how they could become an active part in the celebrations. “We have planned tons of activities,” he said. “But one thing is still apparent, and that is that some students don’t feel like they are a part of the opening ceremo nies. “But this shouldn’t be the case.
