About 10 percent of the senior class will be asked to give their input on three to five gift proposals during a phone poll, which will be conducted on Oct. 27 and 28. The senior-class gift committee, con sisting of fourmembers,has been involved in the research segment of the decision process. This part of the process involves talking to seniors, those who submitted proposals, administrators and other students. The gift committee is responsible for making a rec ommendation to the 54 marshals of the senior class, who ultimately decide on the gift. Proposals were submitted as early as this past summer. Adam Bums, co-chairman of the com mittee, said, “There are ten criteria for the ideal gift.

Screenwriter to Give Journalism Lecture STAFF REPORT Academy Award-winning screenwriter Kurt Luedtke will give the 1993 Reed Sarratt Distinguished Lecture today at 7:15 p.m. in Hanes Art Center Auditorium.

This year’s speech will commemorate the sixth year of the lecture series. Luedtke is best-known for his screen New Center Will Coordinate International Studies Activities BY ERICA LUETZOW STAFF WRITER In an increasingly global society, UNC is meeting the new challenges through the Center for International Studies. H. Garland Hershey, vice chancellor for health affairs, said that while the idea of the center was in the planning stages for quite a while, the plans for the program were finalized within the last month. “The campus has always been very ac tive in the international arena,” he said. “Over the last few years we have substan tially increased the number of international programs that we have offered.” One of the primary tasks of the new center is to coordinate all the international programs and events on campus, Hershey said. “It will provide a focus for more effec tive coordination of our international ac UNIVERSITY & CITY University, reach a large number of stu dents and be marketable.” The three to five proposals that best meet these requirements will be presented on Oct. 26 at a meeting of the senior mar shals. The initial proponents of the ideas will be present to explain their ideas and answer questions. Joe Andrews and Nanci Locklear, se nior-class president and vice president, have submitted their own proposal, which they say would incorporate the Bicentennial Celebration’s theme of community into a class gift. Andrews’ and Locklear’s proposal, Carolina Community Foundation, would establish an endowment fund in the name of the Class of 1994 that would be used to address social concerns on the UNC cam pus and in the surrounding community. “Our senior-class theme, as well as that of the Bicentennial celebration, is commu nity,” Andrews said. “I think this founda tion will focus on community.” The foundation would also share the honor of being first in the nation with play for “Out Of Africa,” which won an Oscar. He wrote the screenplay for “Ab sence of Malice,” starring Paul Newman, which also received an Oscar nomination. The lecture series, which began in 1987, is sponsored by the UNC School of Jour nalism and Mass Communication to honor the late Sarratt, a 1937 UNC graduate. Sarratt was the long-time director of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Associa tion in Atlanta and was inducted in to the N .C. Journalism Hall of Fame in 1985, a year before his death. Sarratt was also an editor of the Winston-Salem Journal. tivities,” he said. “We felt the need to formalize and integrate all of these activi ties a little bit more formally.” The center now is operating in Caldwell Hall. In the summer of 1995, the center will move into the School ofSocial Work build ing. “Students will have one place to go to to findthevarious programs they need, ” Craig Calhoun, director of the Center for Inter national Studies, said. The center, which reports to the Office oftheProvost, links the professional schools and the College of Arts and Sciences. By coordinating activities with the schools of public health and business, for instance, the center can create more con nections and opportunities for faculty and students, Calhoun said. The center also ensures that different Please See INTERNATIONAL, Page 6 CROOK’S CORNER r~T I 1 LTTTI iPi unnnl DINNER EVERY NIGHT & SUNDAY BRUNCH 610 W. FRANKLIN ST. CHAPEL HILL, NC UNC. Andrews said the endowment fund, if selected as the class gift, would be the first student-initiated and operated, campus based foundation in the nation. “We are committed to our gift being the first in the nation,” he said. “We want to set a direction for the future. We can create a lasting foundation.” A representative from the endowment ’ s board of directors and the University’s dean of student affairs would oversee the disbursement of the grants from the senior class endowment. The board of directors, as a decision-making body, will comprise 15 members. Students will be eligible to apply for the board. The board will also form an advisory board, made up of vari ous campus groups, clubs or departments. Andrews said the foundation would bridge the gaps between the University and the community and give students greater control over issues on campus.

Volunteers Provide Support for AIDS Patients BY KATHRYN HASS STAFF WRITER Since 1983, North Carolinians havebeen fighting AIDS. Since 1985, The AIDS Services Project has been around to help patients grapple with the emotional struggles that accom pany the virus. Lucy Harris, TASP program coordina tor, said the AIDS buddy program involved training volunteers to provide psychologi cal and social support to people living with AIDS. Volunteers, called buddies, are matched with a person who either has the HTV virus or full-blown AIDS and meet with that person at least an hour a week. Harris said many clients were afraid to tell family members about the virus and needed outside support to talk about their fears. “Some of our persons living with AIDS have no other support in the area,” she said. Residents Visit Russia During Political Chaos BYAMOLBHAT STAFF WRITER Air Jordan fans in Russia? According to Budd Vaden, chairman of a local international correspondence pro gram called Sister Cities, Michael Jordan is very popular with young Russians, who are in love with American culture. “When they watch American T.V. shows and see die American lifestyle, they feel that they have been swindled by their government,” Vaden said. “Some students I saw wore sweatshirts emblazoned with ‘The Detroit Rednecks’ or ‘Baseball Boy. ’ As long as it’s in English, they’re interested in buying it.” From Sept. 13 to 30, four members of the Chapel Hill- and Carrboro-based Sister Cities program toured parts of Russia. Vaden and three others were on their tour during the recent conflict between Boris Yeltsin and communist hard-liners. “The Russian people’s reaction to Yeltsin’s dissolving the parliament was zip, ” Vaden said. “In Saratov, a city of one million, there was not even a ripple. You could not tell there was a major political upheaval.” Vaden said he thought most Russians were very cynical about politics. “They tend to separate themselves from politicians,” he said. “They are very disen chanted with the past and snicker at any promises.” Russians seem to mildly support Yeltsin because they see him as their best hope for progress, he said. “I felt that those we spoke with were willing to give Yeltsin a chance,” Vaden said. “Most people are tired of commu nism and eager for democracy." Although Russia continues to have many economic problems to grapple with, the country’s prospects are promising. “There is much more business opportunity andfreedomnow,”Vadensaid. “Theßus sian people are very rich in brain power and entrepreneurial spirit.” Dr. Barrie Casselith, who traveled with Vaden, agreed. She said Russians on the whole were better-educated than Ameri cans —and the doctors more creative. “They are very smart in diagnosing ill nesses without machinery and equipment,” Gun-Control Advocates To Lobby Lawmakers BYKRISTENLANEY STAFF WRUER The increasing number of gun-related crimes and the N.C. General Assembly’s failure to support gun-control legislation this summer spurred three residents to form a group to work for stricter gun-control legislation. North Carolinians for Gun Control, a 142-member nonprofit organization, was founded by Beverly Kawalec, Lisa Price and Barbara Schutz this summer. The group expects to be fully opera tional by May 1994 in time for the short session of the N.C. General Assembly. “The three of us were increasingly con cerned with rising violence,” said Price, wife of U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C. The three founders of the group said they also were frustrated because some gun-control proposals suggested in the state legislature were heavily lobbied against by groups such as the National Rifle Associa Buddy Timothy Aaron, a UNC gradu ate student, said some clients needed help with chores or transportation to appoint ments, while others needed friends to lis ten to them talk. “I’ve had four buddies now, and all four have been in the last category,” Aaron said. “We see movies or go out to eat.” Other buddies simply need friends to hang out with, said Duke University stu dent Mary Neel Walker, who also is a buddy. She said she planned to take her buddy to the N.C. State Fair this week. “You do stuff that you do with your friends,” she said. Aaron said being a buddy was challeng ing and could be very emotional, since his clients had been very dependent on him for support. “It demands a lot of emotional and physical time out of you, but the reward is very great,” he said. Walker also said it had been hard to watch her buddy go through the symptoms | If You Had Mono UQROie Olithifl The M Month, fflnAUlll! ThenMakeAHoteTo Visit fera-Tee!

Franklin SL 042-0251 Monday, October 18,1993 “(Russians) tend to separate themselves from politicians. They are very disenchanted with the past and snicker at any promises.” BUDD VADEN Sister Cities chairman Casselith said. Vaden said that although Russia en joyed tremendous human capital, it had a lot to learn about market economics. “The people of Saratov did not even know about capitalism before perestroika,” Vaden said. “They have had very little opportunity to learn about the free mar ket.” Seventy years ofcommunism have taken their toll on Russia’s distribution of in come. “There is no relationship between the salary paid and the value of work, ” Vaden said. “A history professor makes more than a doctor does.” Russians desperately want to do busi ness with America. “The Russian government has tried to sell its YAK-42 aircraft to the United States,” Vaden said. “There are many en trepreneurs eager to sell their goods to America." Russia’s future probably will not be heavily influenced by political uncertain ties. “In the last election, Boris Yeltsin re ceived 62 percent of the votes. That would be considered a landslide victory in Ameri can politics,” Vaden said. “There is little evidence of an organized party strong enough to defeat Yeltsin.” Membership dues for participating in the Sister Cities group are $25 for individu als and SSO for a family. The local Sister Cities program has a relationship with citizens of San Jorge, Nicaragua, and Saratov, Russia.

Violent incidents this summer, such as the July shooting death ofa jogger on Estes Drive also convinced the three women to foimagroup. “Kristin Lodge-Miller’sdeath really galvanized us,” Price said. Nancy Gabriel, NCGC board member, said the group solicited members in Sep tember by mailing a one-page interest let ter to about 300 people. The group plans to solicit members statewide and already has a following in Raleigh, Asheville and Morehead City. “Eventually we’d like to have a state wide board, and we would be the umbrella organization,” Price said. “We’re concen trating more on this area now. We really want all aspects of the community to join this coalition.” Please See GUNS, Page 4 of AIDS, such as getting more tired, so it had been harder to visit her lately. Harris said volunteers were recruited through advertisements in the newspaper and on the radio in Orange and Durham counties. “Wehave about 10 clients that have not been matched with buddies,” she said. TASP provides services and support to people with HTV and first came into exist ence with the first cases of HTV in the area. The organization has since grown to meet its clients' needs as they have changed over the years. TASP is based in Durham and has a total of 43 clients in Orange, Durham and Chatham counties. Among the services offered are support groups, empowerment workshops and an outreach program. “I’m getting somewhere between four and eight referrals (for the buddy program) a month," she said. “I’ve got about seven clients in Chapel Hill at this time.” 3
