Poverty is increasing in North
Carolina, Gloria Williams, a repre
sentative from the Joint Orange
County Community Agency, said.
Increasing people's awareness of
poverty in North Carolina was the
topic of the fourth and final event
of the Campus Y's "People In
Poverty program. A panel of five,
which included N.C. Sen. Wilma
Woodard, Wake County, headed
Wednesday night's discussion.
One of the biggest problems facing
poor people are several government
cuts under consideration which
would reduce aid to programs which
help the poor, the panel said.
"With these government cuts
several people will be hurt," Williams
said. "Some of the programs the
government cuts would affect are
housing, Headstart, job training,
legal services and Breakfast for
Children. Spending cuts must be
restored. Poverty is a political issue
that must be dealt with."
"A good way we can help keep
government funds for the poor is to
write our senators and congress
men," Jean Wagner of the Orange
County Department of Aging, said.
Elderly people, minorities and
women are the most poverty striken
people in North Carolina, the panel
said. Vonna Viglione of the Council
of the Status of Women, said that
women and children would make up
the bulk of our poverty by the year
2000.
"Poverty happens to many women
whether they are divorced, with jobs,
or jobless," Viglione said. "Many are
college- educated women who make
less than men with high school
educations." Many divorced women
are responsible for taking custody of
their children, and child support
figures are less than a bank would

"There arent many centers around
who can come out and play power
forward," Smith said of Daugherty,
noting that either Daugherty or Wolf
will get the call to go up against Person.
Also crucial in the backcourt will be
the performance of senior Buzz Peter
son, who got the start Sunday in the
60-58 win over Notre Dame.
"Buzz played very well against Notre
Dame," Smith said. "He seemed afraid
to make a mistake though. Hell be

loan someone to buy a car or a

Among the reasons Viglione gave
for poverty affecting women more
than men are: wage discrimination,
the fact that women often go to work
before men, child-bearing, a society
historically segregated by occupa
tions and social support systems built
on male lineal models.
Woodard agreed. "Women need
to learn how to make their own
decisions and know themselves," she
said. "They dont need to accept
stock actions. They must create
opportunities for what they want."
Housing is another major problem
for the poor, particularily in Chapel
Hill and Carrboro, Jacqueline Gist
of the Interfaith Council, said.
"Two reasons are there are not
enough dorm housing for all stu
dents at UNC so they eat up the
cheap housing, and also public
assistant housing is minimal," Gist
said.
Gist works at a shelter house
which has helped over 40 individuals
since January, nine to 11 of the
people being regulars.
"The shelter is a band-aid for a
lot of screw-ups for those higher-up,"
Gist said. "The government funding
cut structure isn't there. People do
want to work but there are too many
low-wage payers.
"The shelter depends on volun
teers from the community and we
need volunteers all year round."
Discussing the elderly, Wagner
said there was a lot young people
could do to help. "Gift baskets do
help and are needed," Wagner said.
Volunteering to do yard work as well
as visiting can mean a lot to an
elderly person, Wagner said.
Wagner warned young people not
to give pity, because for many elderly
folks it's a way of saying "I'm afraid
of getting old."

The Tar Heels should also be accus
tomed to a hostile crowd. The Fighting
Irish had a good 85-90 percent of their
home arena packed with their suppor
ters for last Sunday's game, and the
Tigers, whose home is not far from
Birmingham, are also expected to have
the crowd in their favor.
"Certainly we'd rather be playing in
Charlotte or Greensboro and not
Birmingham, but we've played (in N.C.)
in the tournament before, so maybe this
is our turn to play away," Smith said.

Since their development under the University's new
curriculum in 1981, more capstone courses are being
offered every semester. Many students, however, are
not aware of these courses.
Capstone courses usually cover more than one
discipline, can be used to fulfill the five B.A. level
requirements and are taught by professors. They are ;
designed for no more than 30 students.
Cynthia Dessen, adviser to Experimental and
Special Studies, said students should not be afraid
of these courses. "They (were developed) primarily
for juniors and seniors with the idea that they would
sort of 'cap' or round off the student's educational
experience," Dessen said.
Since 1981, 25 capstone courses have been created
most of them through course development awards.
Faculty members were given time off to develop these
special courses based on their particular interests,
Dessen said.
Professors, she said, appreciated the chance to
develop these courses and to attract students to courses
outside of their major. The small size of the classes
also give the student an opportunity to get to know
their professors better, Dessen said.
So far, 18 of these courses have been offered. The
number of capstone coures offered per semester has
increased from one in the spring semester of 1982

There is a national need for math,
science and special education teachers,
but there is an oversupply of teachers
in English, history and other social
sciences, recruiters said at the 1985
Education Job Fair, held Thursday in
Great Hall and Fetzer Gym.
Over 410 students attended the job
fair, double the number of students who
attended last year, Kathryn Sack,
counselor of education at University
Career Planning and Placement Servi
ces, said. The number of school systems
represented increased to 99 from last
year's total of 48, she said.
Recruitors from Washington, D.C.,
Tampa, Fla., and areas throughout
North Carolina said their greatest
teaching needs were in mathematics,

money) goes to ARA."
When contacted Thursday for clar
ification, Cansler said, "I don't know.
YouH have to talk to Mr. Antle about
that."
Charles C. Antle, vice chancellor for
business, said the commission from all
the vending machines on campus went
to student stores, which decided how
much money came from the ground
floor of the Student Union. "And then
student stores writes ARA a check,
giving in effect, ARA their part of the
commissions," he said.
Triangle Caterers in Durham has a
contract which yields the University
$140,000 from all the vending machines
on campus, Antle said. Of that profit,
$120,000 goes toward the debt service,
and the $20,000 from the machines on
the ground floor of the Student Union
goes to ARA, he said.
ARA gets that money because the
University administration decided
several years ago to give whomever was
running the campus food service respon
sibility for the housekeeping of the
ground floor vending area in the
Student Union, Antle said.

to nine in the spring semester of 1985.
"Enrollment in them has been steadily growing,"
Dessen said, "and I think interest in them has, too."
These courses can be taken by majors in their
departments and still count toward graduation. "We
hope it will provide an exciting educational experience
for students," Dessen said.
Eight capstone courses will be offered this semester:
the seven liberal arts (Classics 99), myth and history
(History 93a), science and the arts (Physics 39), future
analysis and forecasting (Planning 94), theory and
practice of representative government (Political
Science 169), the evolution of the mind (Psychology
97a), interdisciplinary seminar in renaissance studies
(Romance Languages 89, history 89 and classical
literature 89) and rhetoric of the presidency (Speech
163).
The seven liberal arts fulfills the philosophical
persepective and is only offered to seniors. In this
course, the student will be given the opportunity to
reflect on his educational experience at the University.
However, most of the courses are open to all students.
Myth and history fulfills the western historical
perspective and will explore how myths about well
known historical figures develop and how they are
used in relation to history.
Science and the arts fulfills the natural sciences
perspective and will explore the influence of science
on primarily the visual arts.

"The real reason we see a shortage
in the math and science areas is that
industry is taking students in those fields
who would otherwise enter the educa
tional field . . . They (industry) are able
to offer larger salaries," Robert Embler,
assistant director of personnel in the
Buncombe County school system, said.
Frank Lewis, assistant superintend
ent of Buncombe County schools, said
they have often talked to students about
a $ 15,000 per year job only to lose them
to industrial recruiters who offer more
than $20,000.
Lewis and Embler said there are some
jobs available in English and the social
sciences, but not many.
"I don't want to discourage any K
4 (kindergarten through fourth grade)
people, but we have 75 teacher-aides in
vending area clean, which is a real chore
because they have to put people in there
morning and night, the decision was
made to give them the vending income,"
Antle said.
Walt Boyle, president-elect of the
Carolina Union, said, "ARA is respon
sible for the housekeeping, and already
I have received complaints about its
cleanliness."
Tony Hardee, director of ARA, said
he was unaware of the housekeeping
problem in the vending area. "I will have
my manager straighten that, out this

In addition, Hardee confirmed that
ARA operates the South Campus snack
bars, but he said ARA did not receive
profits from video games in South
Campus residence halls.
Cansler said the South Campus snack
bars were turned over to the campus
food service as part of the plan to make
food service a viable activity for the
campus.
Student Stores operated the snack
bars before the food service took them
over, Cansler said, and at the time, the
profits went to a Student Stores
scholarship fund.

K-4 in our county, and they're all
certified to teach," Embler said. "When
there's a position, we have to look at
them first."
Students who want to teach in more
competitive fields need to be mobile and
willing to accept job positions where
there are opportunities, Sack said.
Students in these fields can increase
their chances by being certified to teach
in a second, "more saleable" area, she
said.
Sophomore Timothy Rambo, a
history major from Mt. Pleasant, said
he is aware that the outlook is not good
for history teachers.
"It's disheartening, but I'm not going
to change majors," he said. "I know I
want to teach for a while, but I don't

Alter ARA took over the snack bars,
the reduction of the scholarship fund
was minimal because residence hall
snack bars make very little money, and
in some cases make no profit at all,
Cansler said.
"I dont think anyone wants to reduce
scholarship funds, but it is also impor
tant for students to have a nice place
to eat," he said. "We can also provide
up to 100 students with part-time work.
This would really be of more help to
more people."

Future analysis and forecasting, which fulfills the
social sciences perspectives, will show students how
society forecasts, predicts and anticipates changes and
will examine the assumptions, methods, practice and
outcomes of forecasting.
Theory and practice, which also fulfills the social
science perspective, deals with theories of represen
tative government, especially those drawn from the
social choice theory, and will involve political science
and economics.
The evolution of the mind fulfills the social science
perspective and includes the disciplines of psychology,
anthropology, linguistics and biology. It will look at
the development of the mind from a prehistoric and
historic standpoint.
Interdisciplinary seminar in Renaissance studies
fulfills the western historical perspective. The course
discusses American medieval heritage, the Renais
sance in Italy and its extension into the north in
England, France, Germany and Spain.
Rhetoric of the presidency, which also fulfills the
western historical perspective, discusses topics such
as the role of persuasion in American politics and
the nature of "good" rhetoric.
There is a writing requirement (usually a research
paper) in each of these courses.
Capstone courses are not required and can be taken
as electives. For more information about the courses,
students should inquire at 300 Steele Building.
teach gifted and talented students as
well as students with physical, emo
tional or learning disabilities, are needed
nationally, Rosa Beamon, a recruiter
for Beauford County schools, said.
Beamon searched unsuccessfully for a
speech therapist during the job fair.
Recruiters in larger school systems
across the nation are facing a shortage
of teachers, and though North Carolina
has not yet seen the shortage, it
probably will, Sack said.
Low pay, lack of respect for the
educational profession, and greater
opportunities for women and minorities
outside the educational field are reasons
for the lack of teachers, he said.
"The pay is obviously enticing in
industry, but I dont see any (industrial)
jobs that interest me," Steve Johnson,
a senior from Columbus, Ohio, who is
acquiring certification to teach mathe
matics, said. "After I go through life
and start raising a family, I may change,
but I cant think of a thing I'd like to
do more."
Recruiters were high in their praise
for students now entering education,
calling them enthusiastic and dedicated.
"New teachers are very creative,"
Burlene Eaker, a recruiter for the
Lincoln County school system, said.
"The ones coming up really want to
teach, or, considering the low pay, they
wouldnt be coming."
Dana Steed, a senior education major
from Raleigh, said she is optimistic
about her career, despite low pay and
competition for jobs in the field of
primary education where she wants to
teach.
