Fifty speakers were scheduled for the after noon rally which lasted six hours. Singer Shirley Caesar led the crowd in a mov ing rendition of "Lift Every Vocie" as marchers held hands above their heads and sang. Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young spoke about the 1963 March. "We thought the movement was over," Young said. "We did not realize that it had not yet begun. . .we were in fact a steering committee for the future. We came as individuals, but today we come as organiza tions." Barry shouted to the audience that Jan. 15 (King's birthday) should be a holiday. The audi ence responded with loud applause and shouts of agreement. Musician Harry Belafonte said, "This ship has been at sea too long. We have had enough." Selected speakers expounded on the problems of the U.S. economic situation and the Reagan administration while demonstrators began to leave in search of water and drinks or to browse around the new Vietnam Memorial. A few heat-weary marchers found relief in the cool water of the pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial or under hoses turned on by the city. Dr. Benjamin Hooks, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, received a warm welcome from the audience. "We need to declare war on the present policies of the Reagan administra tion. . . Reaganomics is the social disease of the poor," he said. The crowd agreed with Hooks' statements by chanting "Reagan no more in 1984." The most popular speaker of the afternoon was the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who began his speech by chanting "I am somebody." "Dreaming is the gift of the spirit that can lift you from misery to miracles . . . We have moved in, now we must move up. Keep on marching. From our house. . .to the courthouse. . .to the State House. . .to the White House," Jackson said. The crowd jumped to its feet and began chanting "Run, Jesse, Run." Jackson is con sidering running for president in 1984. Occasional spurts of enthusiasm dotted the rest of the afternoon's speeches. Many people left the demonstration early, weary from the heat of the day. The series of speeches wound down with prayer. Each comment ended with a spon taneous "Free at last" response from the crowd. Singer Stevie Wonder sang a song about war and urged support of legislation making King's birthday a national holiday. Coretta Scott King closed the rally with a speech and some excerpts from King's famous "I have a dream" speech. m - T a 111 ' .J, How tough?

SG aide elected to association 's board By LIZ LUCAS Assfctant University Editor After bypassing the summer Campus Governing Council for allocation of funds for a trip to the United States Students Association conference in July, Student Governing Executive Assistant Sharon Moylan was elected to USSA's board of directors. Moylan, executive assistant Robyn Hadley, Jeannie Williams of Student Government's Student Affairs Committee and Steve Langman, previous USSA board of directors member and former chairman of the State and National Com mittee, attended the conference July 21-25 at Emory University. It was financed through Student Body President Kevin Monroe's discretionary fund rather than with summer CGC funds. "In the past there has been a difference of opinion between our Student Govern ment and the policies USSA chose to en force," Moylan said. "USSA is a fairly liberal political group, while our CGC has been a fairly conservative group," she said, adding that in the past the CGC had refused to fund any event connected with USSA because it was considered a political organization. According to CGC finance regulations, "Programs, services, or events of a political or religious nature are nonfund able." Though there is still a question as to whether the CGC will reimburse travel ex penses and dues to the discretionary fund, the summer CGC felt it would be better to use the fund and wait for a full sitting of the CGC in the fall to discuss supporting the trip, Moylan said. Travel and lodging expenses for the four days totaled $950, and membership dues to USSA, some of which were also paid from the discre tionary fund, amounted to $250, she said. The USSA convention consisted of as sorted workshops on topics ranging from writing referenda to women's rights, Moylan said. It also featured a bylaws ses sion to change rules and an issues session with representatives from various interest groups appealing to USSA to njake parti cular stances in its platform favoring the groups. The platform will be compiled, and the 10 most important issues, six of which will deal with education, will be assigned priorities, Moylan said. Elected as one of the two southern re presentatives on the Board of Directors, Moylan will help represent seven states. She is a junior economics major from Raleigh. Moylan said that the South was becom ing much more active in student interest groups like USSA. "The South especially made itself heard, wanting its money and energy used for education," she said. To make sure that the South continues to be heard, Moylan and the other southern representative on the Board of Directors are planning to set up a regional board of directors over the seven southern states they represent, she said. This will be done at a Sept. 24 meeting to be held in Georgia. USSA, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that lobbies for student con cerns, releases updates on legislation af fecting higher education. It keeps cam puses in touch with what goes on in Washington and this year will sponsor a massive voter registration drive and a get-out-and-vote drive, Moylan said. Moylan said that she would like to see North Carolina more involved in USSA and that she may attempt to begin a North Carolina student association like the one in Florida. "It's been tried before and didn't work because it was too Chapel Hill-oriented," she said. "It can't be just focused at UNC." New officers elected to BOG From staff reports State lawmakers chose three new members and re-elected five current members to four-year terms on the UNC Board of Governors July 7. The N.C. General Assembly each year fills eight of the 32 seats on the board. When the seats come up for election, members of the General Assembly nominate and elect candi dates to the BOG. The five members who were re elected include Irwin Belk of Char lotte, Wayne A. Corpening of Winston-Salem, John R. Jordan Jr., a Raleigh attorney who was this year's chairrn&n of the BOG, J. Aaron Prevost of Haywood Coun ty, and Louis T. Randolph of Washington, N.C. The three new members are James Earl Daniely, former presi dent of Elon College, Joan Fox of Oxford, and Samuel H. Poole of Southern Pines. Benjamin E. Rawlins was named acting affirmative action officer of UNC in July by Chancellor Christo pher C. Fordham III. He replaced Gillian T. Cell, who was named chairman of the history department July 1. Cell came to UNC from Liverpool, England, in 1965 and is a full professor of history. Rawlins became assistant af firmative action officer when the of- fice was formed in 1981. First hired by the University in 1977 to take the job of director of judicial programs in the Division of Student Affairs, Rawlins became assistant to the vice chancellor in 1981. A search committee is expected to recommend to the chancellor soon a candidate to fill permanently the position of affirmative action of ficer. Associate director of operations for the department of University Housing Russell Perry was rein stated May 23 following his dismissal on April 19. Perry was dismissed after charges that he had allowed a University employee to use a shop planer for personal use were published in the N.C. Landmark. Perry said that the State Person nel Administrative Guide allows employees to loan equipment, al though the business manual of the University states that equipment cannot be loaned. Perry appealed to acting director of University housing Jody Harp ster, he said. Because of statutes which do not allow state employees to discuss personnel matters, Perry declined to say who had decided to reinstate him. Harpster also declin ed to comment, beyond confirming that Perry had been reinstated.
