covered by the fund have increased
by about $13,500, leading to steep
deficits.
The safety and security fee refer
endum that passed on the Fefc. 12
student elections ballot will provide
additional funding, some of which
will go toward increasing aware
ness of options and resources avail
able to victims of sexual assault.
Before the increase, the safety and
security fee was $0.85 per semester.
The $0.25 increase means students
will now' pay sl.lO each semester.
Students voted overwhelmingly
in favor of the increase in fees,
which is designed to ensure that
rape kits remain free for students.
But medical practitioners will try
to work with nonstudents even in the
absence of greater funding from the
legislature, said Trida Heafner. coor
dinator for UNC Hospitals’ program
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner.
“We ensure that they get treat
ment, and if there is a burden, we
work it out with the individual," she
said. “We never have turned anyone
away, and we’re always available."
Garcia said public funding for
the kits is an unfortunate burden
the state must undertake.
“The reality of it is we don’t
know when we'll have to seek out
that test for ourselves or our loved
ones," Garcia said.

wants to ensure that she gives her
people a voice something they
didn't have under a dictatorship.
“It’s to get the truth out, to get
another side and to show the real
ity that the mainstream media
won’t show," Wasfi said.
Jason Hurd, who served in Iraq
from November 2004 to November
2005, used the opportunity to speak
against military procedure in Iraq.
“I saw so many tactics that actu
ally injured Iraqi people," Hurd said.
“We’re hurting innocent civilians."
Participants then handed out fake
draft cards for spectators to bum.
“This war has got to stop, and
we’ve got to stop it," Tal said as stu
dents defaced their cards.
Yoder said burning draft cards
served as a symbol of protest against
U.S. war-time policies in the 19705.
“It’s great that we have a free
nation where citizens can protest
things that they disagree or agree
with,” he said.

sense of pride. We felt like we were
carrying the torch.”
Even though Lockwood and
Treadaway portray the same mas
cot, they each bring something dif
ferent to the role.
Treadaway said he enjoys direct
ing the band and sometimes does
a salute to the coaches. Lockwood
said he likes to be in the spotlight
by staving near the court or field.
Lockwood said that adding
another person to the role will help
ease the pressure on the two.
“I think Tyler and I are going to
back off a bit,” he said. “We’re not
going to be completely absent, but we
can definitely spread it out more.”
Still, Treadaway said seeing
another Rameses is going to take
some getting used to.
“It really is weird when I’m walk

other dancers have had to reflect
upon painful dimensions of their

“All our ancestors were slaves,

And tonight’s piece will reflect
the different histories and cultures

“The traditional dance from my

As ofThursday night, more than

Committees help BSM fulfill mission
BY CHIARA AUSTIN
STAFF WRITER
Forty years ago, a man named
Preston Dobbins and a small group
of black students at UNC laid the
foundation for the Black Student
Movement, inspiring the growth
of what is now the second-largest
student organization on campus.
Boasting an annual membership
of more than 400 students, BSM's
array of committees allow the orga
nization to hone in on specific issues
pertaining to black students.
“As issues changed on Carolina’s
campus and the climate around
Carolina changed, we developed
other committees that answered
the needs that we had," BSM Vice
President Racine Peters said.
Getting a feel for home
After 40 years, BSM has
strengthened its internal focus with
several committees to emphasize
all aspects of student life.

that wanted to make all of the frats
come together around the idea of
service,” he said. “We wanted to
bridge the gap of the social com
ponent that you see in the media."
But Greek organizations are not
the only student groups looking to
serve the needs of minority com
munities. There are also a variety of
non-Greek black student organiza
tions on campus.
The Carolina Association of
Black Journalists is a student orga
nization that works to diversify- the
journalism field while preparing
members for media careers.
‘lt allows us to build a small
network within each other because
w-e are a small world," said Amanda
Rodrigues Smith, president of the
association. “There are a small
number of African-American stu
dents in the school.”
“I feel that when you think of
things like the black press and the
journalists that wrote, they were
courageous, and they were also
community leaders," she said. “That
is also what we're transitioning the
group into.”

The Embrace and the Celebration
of Black Womanhood committees
focus on issues pertaining to black
men and women.
“In today’s society there is a big
misrepresentation and a negative
image of black males, not only with
in the UNC community but within
the nation, as well,” said Jon Scott,
co-chairman for Embrace.
Scott pointed to tendency of the
public to associate black males with
crime as one of the misrepresenta
tions Embrace tries to dispel.
The committee’s biggest project.
Men’s Week, will include forums
discussing black politics and the
black male image at UNC, while
the CBW committee is working on
a similar women’s event.
“It offers a home for minority
women, specifically since our campus
is generally white,” Co-Chairwoman
Shannon Davis said of CBW.
Both groups help members dis
cuss identity and personal issues, but
others stress the nuts and bolts of the
organization.
“The Education Committee is
what seeks to promote scholarships."
said Alysa Campbell, the committee's
co-chairwoman. “We are the driving
force behind being students first”

events, such as the 40th anniver
sary celebration, which begins at
noon Saturday.
Connecting to campus
Beyond just the internal workings
of the group, BSM members also aim
to connect with the rest of campus.
And by enhancing the relation
ship among students, administrators
• and the. Chapel Hill community, the
Triple Alliance Committee gives back
through service projects.
“We pull service to all the differ
ent communities that we are a part
ofT said Shannon Morrison, Triple
Alliance’s co-chairwoman.
Triple Alliance Co-Chairwoman
Anjail Ameen said the committee
is involved in at least two programs
a month, including Habitat for
Humanity and PTA Thrift Shop.
Students on the Cultural

that we all support each other,” Co
s Eric Smith said.
With so many committees under
the BSM umbrella, the group as a
whole seeks to grow both on campus
and within the local community.
“The BSM has historically been
a haven for African-American stu
dents to discuss issues that are dear
to us," said Shanika Paylor, execu
tive assistant for BSM. “It serves as
a source of cultural enrichment on
campus.”
