But while opportunities for blacks at UNC have expanded, the comments of several campus minority representatives at a recent panel on race relations made it clear that the University was still far from being integrated. The representatives pointed out that not only were separate campus organizations for blacks and whites a reality at UNC, they also were needed. "Whenever I hear black people and white people ought to be able to worship together, I am in total agreement," said panelist Dundee Holt, a graduate student and head of the United Christian Fellowship. "But when someone says black people and white people should worship together, my . question iswhy? "A lot of blacks don't want to go to white churches. It's the 'stick to your own group' type idea," he said. UCF once made an attempt to attract white students to its Sunday morning services but was unsuccessful because most of the whites who attended the fellowship could not adjust to its differences. "The matter of worship was quite alien, quite different, quite foreign. It's much more comfortable to stick to your own, and that's what ' i O o EH 1 11 SI "till HH we choose to do," Holt said. Another senior, James Reid, agreed with Holt. Reid, who is president of Alpha Phi Alpha, a black fraternity, said cultural differences existed between the black and white fraternities and sororities. "Not . to say that I have anything agafnst white fraternities," he said. "I just prefer a black fraternity." Like the people on the panel, members of several other campus organizations agreed that there was a need for the separation of many black and white organizations. . Many blacks who participated in the Inter Fraternity Council with the white fraternities have said, like the whites in the black church, that they feel they can play no real part in the meetings. All of UNC's 23 fraternities belong to the IFC. Only three of those are black. "When we attend the meetings, we are confronted with things like fraternity houses which house is having the mixer or what house needs what. Blacks don't have houses," Reid said. j But IFC President John Blumberg said the organization had made some attempts to encourage blacks and whites to work together. "We haven't had as much cooperation from either as we'd hoped for," he said. When he came into office, Blumberg said he appointed two people, one black and one, white, to a minority affairs office. The office was to' promote interaction between . tl'ek and white fraternity members. ' Blumberg said that although his fraternity, Sigma Chi had no black members, he didn't think it would discourage a black interested in joining. "Depending upon the individual,. I think he'd be received very well. Honestly I think there would be , no restraint placed on his race," he said. Chi Psi and St. Anthony's Hall fraternities have black members, but none of UNC's 13 sororities are integrated. Unlike fraternities, and sororities, two predominantly black and white campus publications say they want to remain separate because they do not meet the same needs. "The Daily Tar Heel doesn't cover in depth the black community, and it might not even know how to," said Donna Whitaker, Black Ink associate editor. She said the 13-year-old Black Ink began as a voice for black students. It was also created as a way for blacks to express grievances. "It's a motivational force, too. It's an alternative for students who might not otherwise gain journalistic experience," she said. Black Ink has no whites on its 40-member staff. George Shadroui, editor of The Daily Tar Heel, agreed the two papers should remain separate. "I think the Black Ink serves a totally different . function from The Daily Tar Heel, " he said. "It probably addresses more acutely some of the (black) issues on campus than the Tcr IIzcl does. r and I just think that is natural," he said.. The Daily Tar Heel, which has eight blacks cn its staff of more than 100 people, has more black staff members and editors now than it has had in past years, he said. "I don't think the Tcr Heel has dene anything really to recruit blacks cn the staff," he said. "It just so happens that we have a lot cf talented blacks cn the staff." Student Government has made attempts to recruit blacks into offices, but Student Body President Bob Saunders said he didn't think it had done enough. "I'd say you can never do enough, but I'd say I made special efforts to," he said. "That's the key, you can't just think that qualified black students are just going to come up to Suite C. You've get to recruit. I'm really proud of the way I chose my staff this year," he said. Separate black organizations, like the Black Student Movement and its subgroups, are necessary because of the small percentage of blacks on the UNC campus, he said. BSM organization leaders also emphasized the need for both black and white groups. "They are needed because you're talking about two very diverse and differentiated cultures, and our society hasn't gotten to the point where it's able to recognize and accept cultural differences," BSM Chairperson Mark Canady said. t LP . 1 1 t) Sea RACE on paga 2 pmlimu7il vote j WJ MO C Tf zwmevzee By ELlZAnZTII DANIEL ; : : . ' A slight majority cf UNC students believe the University is doing enough to promote integration on campus, but 74.6 percent of the black students think the University should do more, according to a recent poll conducted by The Daily Tar Heel Information for the survey was gathered during telephone interviews with 50- students from Nov. 5-9. The sample consisted of 244 black students and 257 whites. The responses to the questions were weighted so that the sample was representative of the racial composition of the campus, which has a 7.9 percent black population. The survey results are accurate to within 5 percentage points. Of all students, 59 percent said UNC was doing enough to integrate the campus. But while 63 percent of white students said UNC's efforts were adequate, only 20.5 percent of the blacks said the University was doing enough. Thirty-two percent of the students who found UNC's efforts satisfactory cited the University's recent efforts and progress in the area of integration as their reason. Of the students who said more needed to be done, 14 percent said that the small number of blacks on campus showed the University's efforts were not adequate. A brge majority of the students said they had close friends of the opposite race and that they did net consider themselves racists, but only one-third s3id they belonged to any integrated erf.anizaHons on campus. Twenty-nine percent of the students said they considered themselves racists, and 10 percent explained their positions u'uh a specific c.-knowled-.cment such as "I don't like thcls" cr "1 wouldn't wir t to room vuih a bhek."

'' ;;.-' Of the" Black students, about 44 percent were members of integrated campus organizations; 32.3 percent of the whites were. Approximately 23 percent of the black students were members of an integrated off-campus organization and 23 percent of the white students were. A large majority of the students approved of blackwhite discussion groups to promote integration on campus, and smaller majorities approved assigning blacks and whites as roommates in dormitories and using special recruiting efforts to enroll black students to aid integration. But a majority was against banning campus organizations that did not use . affirmative action practices to integrate their groups, and most students also opposed admitting black students to the University who would not otherwise qualify for admission. About 89 percent of the students, including about 96 percent of the blacks, were in favor of blackwhite discussion groups; 10.5 percent of the whites were opposed to them. Of the white students polled, 50.6 percent were in favor of assigning blacks and whites as. roommates. A larger percentage of blacks, 60.7 percent, favored such a move. Sixty-eight percent of the students, including about 95 percent of the blacks, supported using special efforts to recruit blacks. Approximately 66 percent of the whites agreed. But stronger methods to promote integration were disapproved of by the majority of both blacks and whites. Of all the students, 5.5 percent, including about 87 percent of the blacks, disagreed with admitting bbeks who would not otherwise qualify for admission. About 14 percent of the white students agreed with this form of affirmative action, along with 10.2 percent of the blacks. About 70 percent of the students disagreed with banning campus organizations thai do not use affirmative action to promote integration. Approximately 35 percent cf the blacks and 23 percent of the whites said they would approve of such an action.

Cur Myung-Moon- : backed Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles said Monday her group w as on campus to rejuvenate the Judeo-Christian spirit of sharing and caring,, but a student whose cousin disappeared more than four years ago, said the group was out to exploit students. "We're working on college campuses because we're concerned about the apathy of youth," Barbara Svenson, a spokesperson for CARP, said. "We realize someone needs to be speaking out for righteousness." Sonja McCarter was protesting against the presence of the Moonies on campus because she said her cousin disappeared shortly after being approached by a Moonie at UNC in April 1976. McCarter said the group only came on campus when people were "under emotional stress and vulnerable, so they can exploit the situation to their own advantage." She said the group offered an escape from school pressures. V"tv ft,V-v- p'Uvr CAT e-fMtpn : m 1 said his group's goal was to stimulate awareness of God. He said to do that it would be necessary to create a peaceful family and a harmonious society. War, marriage breakdowns, juvenile delinquency, drug abuse, sexual corruption and racial conflict were among the problems Ohkawa said CARP had to solve. McCarter said the Moon organization tried to fool people with a superficial image of friendliness. A student who wished to remain unidentified said that though he w as impressed by the kindness of the Moonies, he refused a dinner invitation with them. McCarter said her cousin was invited to dinner before, he duappcarcd. He was abo subjected to what she called an "Intensive Weekend." "In an 'Intensive Weekend,' they won't let you sleep and they bombard you with information about the Unification Church," McCarter said. "Lots of people are so intimidated that they succumb to them," she said. Svenson and Ohkawa said CARP would seek aid from other religious groups.

But former Defense flinister Ezer Weizman dealt a sharp blow to Begin by voting to bring down the government. Eegin's . coalition survived on a 57-54 vote with two abstentionsthe slimmest margin in a no-confidence tid since , haj "came Israel's prims minister in 1 977. The abstainers were Samuel Fhtto-Sharon, an independent, and Akiva Ncf cf the Democratic Movement for Change. Begin cut short a U.S. visit to cast his vote g gainst & motion effcred by the opposition Labor Party to pretest an annual inflation rate cf mere than 120 percent and a consumer price increase cf 11 percent in October. Government policy also was under attack from Israeli liberairover the shooting and wounding of 10 Palestinian student demonstrators Tuesday during clashes with the army in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River. Three opposition members of parliament Yossi Sarid, Chaika Grossman and Mordechai Wirshubsky demanded an official inquiry, saying the army was too quick to open fire on demonstrators. r ' ' Chief of' Staff Lt. Gen. Raphael Eytan said his men exercised maximum restraint, but "when demonstrators overstep a certain boundary they must understand tat the army won't tolerate it." There were some incidents of rock-throwing Wednesday by Palestinians in the Arab sector of Jerusalem and in O Birch and Ramallah, two towns north cf Jerusalem. Palestinian youths threw rocks at Israeli cars and soldiers but no casualties or arrests were reported. In Washington, the U.S. State Department expressed concern at the Israeli army's use of live ammunition against Palestinian demonstrators and urged both sides to exercise maximum restraint. Spokesman John Trattner said the use of potentially lethal force to disperse unarmed demonstrators could lead to grave and far-reaching consequences. In a striking irony, Weizman voted for the downfall of the government whose May 1977 election victory he masterminded. Weizman resigned as defense minister bit May, compbining Begin was net moving fast enough toward Mideast peace and that his economic policies were not correct. In an impassioned speech to parliament, Weizman explained his vote by saying that "in an emergency you do unusual He demanded that the economy be placed cn an emergency footing, the way the country was mobilized for crisii when faced with war. Weizman'i aciton raised the likelihood that the former air force ace would be ousted from Begin! pol.tkal Hoc, the Likud.
