IVhy do we litter
1 am only one man. And what can one
man do '
I'm really not too sure.
I am only one man, but a man that can
hear and see and smell and feel. As an
artist ot sorts I see things differently. And
what I've seen in the last two weeks
should be more than obvious to
everyone. Pollution is that 50 cent word
that everyone is screaming madly about.
There are people screaming to save the
oceans from the big oil companies and
others to save the forests and still others
to save the air we have to breathe.
Most of this movement has come from
the college campuses. You know, that's
really great. I want to breathe in the year
2000 too!
But why does it happen that there is
trash all over our campus. I walk around
this campus three afternoons a week
taking pictures of people and places
around UNC. 1 can't help but notice the
styrofoam cups, newspapers, student

Secondly, the ruling by trie
attorney general's office is a direct
challenge to student governments
throughout the tatc and should
also be contested.
It student g ! crnmcnt-s are to
represent their student bodies
effectively, the ability to hire legal
counsel will at times be necessary.
And whether intended or not. the
attorney general's office is openly
challenging the authority of elected
student leaders to use every mean
possible of representing their
constituents.
One wonders whv (iconic
Blackburn, a UNC student, asked
for the Riling in the first place
unless, of course, he wishes to see
the demise of student governments.
But whatever the case, both
issues must be taken to the courts.
And t h e y c a n b e if t h e

The Pit ;it 1 I 20 ;i.ni
store bags, gum wrappers, cigarette packs
and anything else unwanted that gets
dropped or left or just simply put
everywhere except where it should.
Harry Bryan's edit on Wednesday
morning called the scene I photographed
of the pit "sickening". 1 was even more
upset this morning to walk by and see the
situation even worse than that scene of
Monday afternoon.
Sure the pit may look like a very
handy giant garbage can. There's always
plenty of trash and one more little cup
won't hurt. Besides, it's a long walk
through that crowd to one of the four or
five trash cans in front of the snack bar.
Yes, this paper ran an editorial
Wednesday saying maybe it's time to
"educate ourselves before we start
worrying about saving the rest of the
country." It's definitely time to shut our
mouths and watch ourselves a whde.
Wednesday morning I walked into the

The Vuckety Va.k ,,r the "Ain't No
bljeks I) .-v.." Heah!" yearbook was
distributed to the student body on
Tuesday .
There 'Aa one a statement made
about telcvisi :ri new that said the only
time y ou saw a black on the new w as i!
he was a star athlete or a fugitive. It
seems that the same could be said about
this y car's Yack.
Granted there are some pictures of
some blacks on campus. But they are the
star athletes... Bill Chamberlain
basketball player; Ike Oglesby. football
DaryT Kelly, track. Oh. leave us not forget
the little black kids who held up the
paper ring for the football players to run
through.
Last year there were approximately
355 blacks who were not athletes. Out of
the -4 pages m the photo section or the
Yack. only one could be found . . . and
was asleep with his face covered up.
(Good luck brothers, trying to figure out
who you are.)
It's too bad that the black women on
this campus don't have a women's hb
group. The section on the Carolina Co-eds
was completely devoid of the hi irk

pit to photograph the same area again
with many people just sitting among all
this trash. But when I finished that I had
a deeper thought. I saw a friend sitting
among all that trash and asked him if he
and his friends would help me start
picking the stuff up.
We began and within seconds we had
mobdized 20 people or so with boxes and
big bags to pick up the cup and papers.
We gathered it and put the boxes by a
trash can in the pit somewhat satisfied
w ith the job.
I called the INC Physical Plant to
arrange to cart the stuff away. Well you
should have heard them jump. Yessir. did
they jump at the chance to transfer me
from one part of the physical plant to
another. I ended up talking to a man in
charge of budding maintenance who was
having trouble getting electrical power to
Murphy Hall.
I then called Dr. Claiborne Jones,
assistant to the chancellor, to ask if he

Many of the blacks m this university
came for the same rean that many ot
the non-athletic w lutes did - to be
educated. But as most of u? know,
education has a few values and being seen
in a yearbook is one of them.
Before I go any further, let's attempt
to surmise what possible excuses the
Yack had for masterminding this grave
injustice to the blacks on this campus.
Perhaps the photographers forgot that
they had to open their lenses to
photograph black folk. (.After a!!, that old
myth about seeing only our teeth and
eyes is a bunch of bull.)
Maybe the staff figured that if they
sent the book home with a page full of
blacks, their parents would withdraw
them from this "Nigger Haven.'
And one last conjecture, may be the
staff felt that if it ran pictures of toi
many blacks, the General Assembly and
Rep. Alisbrook might try to stop the
funding of the Yack, as it attempted for
the Daily Tar Heel.
At anv rate, the exclusion of more

could do anything. He assured me that he
would get right on it. However, as the sun
set on this Wednesday the boxes were stdl
there, the trashcans were stdl full and the
pit was returning to its norma! state.
It really is sickening. In these two
weeks this whole campus has become a
great big trash can for public use.
For whose ever sake you want let's no:
worry about America for the moment
and let's concentrate on this campus for a
whde. If everyone will not only watcn
what he or she does but do a little more.
Pick up a few papers and cups, carry
them to 3 trash can and put them in it. not
around it. This place might even look like
a pretty college campus ( w ith all its other
faults like red brick highways all over the
place and skyscrapers, etc.) and not like
the New York Otv dump.
Thank you it you read this all the way
through, and may your greatest dreams
become garbage scenes if you didn't.
