News that the former Fastbreak area in the
Student Union is to become an all-purpose
programming area has disrupted plans for a
black cultural center, said Sibby Anderson,
Black Student Movement president.
The BSM had tried to obtain the vacant
Fastbreak area for the cultural center, And
erson said.
"We wanted a functional office with a
director, a staff, etc.," she said. "We wanted
a place to display black art, a place for
counseling groups, a place for black perfor
mances and highlighting black literature. We
want a building, but we know that is not
feasible.
"We desperately need a central location for
the black cultural center, and what weVe gotten
is a little corner," said Anderson.
Student Body President Patricia Wallace said
the decision to convert the Fastbreak into a
Union programming area was made before she
was presented with the idea of the cultural
center.
"Nobody's asked me before," she said. "I
figured it was all settled. I knew Sibby really
wanted to see it (the center) happen," she said.
"1 pretty much agree with Sibby on the need
for one (a black cultural center). I think one
of the immediate responses from the students
will be 'why is there a need for special services
for blacks?' " Wallace said.
Archie Copeland, assistant director of the
Student Union, agreed there was a need for
a black cultural center and said it would help
the University increase black enrollment.
"Such a step would be making a commitment
to caring about black students," he said.
Anderson said, "The University needs to
increase black enrollment. The BCC would help
do that." ,
Anderson also questioned the need for
another lounge in the Student Union. "There
is a lounge upstairs, a lounge downstairs, and
an art gallery where people can go to relax,"
she said. "Students don't need another place
just to relax, they need more places where they
can go to be educatedAfter a while, the whole
Union will be a place to relax."
Wallace agreed the cultural center should be
highly visible. "Many students don't realize how
few blacks are here," she said. "It's difficult
to find support when you're one in 10. A BCC
needs not to be hidden, but to be more present
in the minds of all students, so that a majority
of students can realize that there is a black
culture on campus and to take part in that."
Copeland recommended that the center be
the responsibility of someone in the Office of
Student Affairs who would work directly with
black students.
A committee was appointed by Donald
Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of Student
Affairs, to investigate the feasibility of the
project, Copeland said.
"There has been some disagreement about
what the actual definition of a BCC should
be," Copeland said. "That's what the committee
was trying to decide. The BCC would not exist
to usurp the power of the BSM, but to enhance
.it."
Copeland said the center's location was not
an issue.
"No, one I know has identified it as a desk
in a closet," he said. "The Student Union started
off as an office and grew into this building.
It (the center) would be as strong as the support
given to it by students black and white."
Copeland said, "One problem is space
allocation. We have Memorial Hall ... and
the meeting rooms in the Union. These are
definitely not white meeting places. I feel that
existing space can be utilized.
"I think black students need somewhere to
identify with, somewhere to call home, but I
would not like to see it confined to a small
space," Copeland said. "Black culture has been
left out of too many things. It's time for it to
be put in the forefront."
Hayden B. Renwick, associate dean of
Student Affairs, said Boulton outlined plans
for the center two years ago.
"He described what the BCC was going to
be," Renwick said. "What he said then is totally
different from what he's saying now."
Renwick said the idea of the center had
"boiled down to a one-person operation to be
the director, staff, janitor and the maid."
The best way to predict the future is to look
at the past, Renwick said.
"They (University administrators) haven't
done anything for blacks in the past, so why
should they now?" he said.
Anderson said: "I think Dean Renwick feels
that the center is not going to come into
existence. I feel that it probably will, but if
we're forced to go into that vending machine
space, it won't be very productive.
"Negotiations about a BCC were brought up
during the Upendo dispute last year," she said.
"I think it was a way for the administration
to shut . . . (the BSM) up. I'm appalled at the
insensitivity on the part of the University," she
said.

Contestant: I'll take quick money
making schemes for $200.
Emcee: The answer is, "This depart
mental chairman from the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill won
almost $50,000 on "Jeopardy" and was
the first undefeated five-show winner of
this year's season. "
The contestant screams, yells and
jumps up and down.
Contestant: Who is Jay Rosenberg,
professor and chairman of the philo
sophy department?
Emcee: Yes, choose again.
Jay Rosenberg has been on the TV
game show "Jeopardy" since Monday,
and at the risk of ruining the suspense,
he will be playing until Friday, winning
$49,600 and retiring as a five-day
champion.
"The best part about being on
'Jeopardy is yet to come the money,"
Rosenberg said. He will not receive his
winnings for a few months.
Rosenberg said he would use the
$49,600 to put his two children through
college. "Of course, the IRS will want
its share, and when I finish with all of
that, I suspect there will be very little
left," he said.
"IVe found a good accountant and
several fully legal tax shelters," he said.
"We're going to try to keep (the IRS'
share) to under half of the total."
"Another good part was being able
to call my wife and say, 'I hope you
won't be upset, but I didn't win $50,000.
I was $400 short,' " he said.
Rosenberg said he decided to try out
for "Jeopardy" after seeing an announce
ment in June calling for contestants.
"My wife said, 'You always know all
the answers when you play at home,
so go try out,' and she was very insistent
about it. So I did.
"One of the nice things about 'Jeo
pardy' is that it is a real challenge," he
said. "In the end, you really have to
come up with the answers. It's not the
luck of the draw or the spin."
After a rigorous application process
including a 50-question written exam,
and after a few practice games of
"Jeopardy," Rosenberg was picked to
be a contestant. ;
"They flew me out to Hollywood on
the first and second of July," he said.
Jay Rosenberg
"I taped five shows in one day, three
before dinner and two after dinner. I
averaged it out and I earned something
like $7,000 per hour."
Since his appearances on "Jeopardy,"
Rosenberg said he has had one problem.
"No one will play Trivial Pursuit with
me any more. I seem to have lost my
amateur status now."
This is not the first time Rosenberg
has appeared on syndicated television.
His first appearance was in the late
1960s. He was on "To Tell the Truth"
as an undergraduate student who had
written a book titled The Impoverished
Student's Guide to Cookery, Drinkery
and Housekeepery,
"There were three people claiming to
be me, and I was 'the real Jay Rosen
berg, " he said. "I think I won a whole
$250.
"The whole 'Jeopardy thing was very
unreal," he said. "They fly you out to
Hollywood, and Hollywood is pretty
unreal in itself. Then you fly back with
five pieces of paper that say you've won
more than a year's salary.
"In a few months, you begin to
wonder if it ever really happened. After
seeing it on television, it's beginning to
get real again.
"Andy Warhol once said that in the
future, everyone would be famous for
15 minutes, so I guess this is it,"
Rosenberg said.

Durham, growing and wanting more
growth, is actively pursuing more
business for the area and intends to
become the "most livable" city in the
country.
The former mill town, now known
for high-tech research centers, would
like to be named next year's most livable
city in Rand McNally's annual ranking
of American communities, according to
Jane Pierce of media relations with
Manning, Selvage and Lee, a Washing
ton, D.C.-based advertising agency. In
the last Rand McNally survey, the
Triangle area, including Durham, was
rated third in the nation. '
Durham residents will be asked to
sign a banner proclaiming that "Dur
ham is No. 1" during Centerfest, the
city's annual street fair celebration. The
banner will be delivered to Rand
McNally's New York offices.
"We don't seriously expect that the
banner is going to influence Rand
McNally to pick Durham as the top
city, said Pierce. "We're trying to
reinforce civic pride and it's something
to draw attention to the area."
Pierce said the impact of the Rand
McNally surveys was hard to gauge, but
that it was considered one of the top
surveys of its kind.
"It lends credibility to all that is good
about Durham," she said.
Since the nearby Research Triangle
Park began in the late 1950s, it has
brought high-tech research and such
manufacturing firms as Mitsubishi and
Lutravil into the area. RTP contains
investments of over $1.25 billion in
completed and committed projects.
Employing over 26,000 people, it is the
largest research park of its kind in the
country.
In Durham County, over $600 mil
lion has been invested in high-tech fields
since 1980.
In 1984, Durham issued as many
housing permits as it had in the entire
previous four years. Two large residen
tial developments are in the planning
and beginning stages of construction.
Another research , complex called
Treyburn is under development north
of Durham, as a combined research,
industrial and residential park.

About 225 people gather in front of Morehead Planetarium to 'Take Back the Night'
DTHLarry Childress
By DORA McALPIN
Staff Writer
"We are gentle, angry people; and
we are singing, singing for our lives."
Those were some of the lyrics that
filled the air as about 225 people
began the Take Back the Night
March Wednesday night. The walk
began in the Morehead Planetarium
parking lot, from which Sharon
Stewart was kidnapped last month.
She was later found murdered, and
organizers of the march and the rally
that followed it said her death was
one of the main reasons for the event.
The protest was organized by the
Take Back the Night Coalition, a
group founded for the march, said
Deborah Adams, a self-described
"ringleader" of Sisters Against
Violence and Exploitation (SAVE),
one of the core groups of the
coalition.
"Goals are to release the anger and
fear that has built up after all the
recent incidents in Chapel Hill and
the area ... and . . . to let women
know they don't have to be afraid
any more," Adams, a graduate
genetics student from Springfield,
111., said before the rally.
"We're here to enjoy the solidar
ity," said C J. Reilly, another SAVE
member who opened the program
for the event. "We join together to
express our outrage at the painful

Nikki Craft rips up Penthouse during demonstration Wednesday night
state of affairs in our country and
North Carolina," Reilly said.
"We demand that men stop think
ing of rape as a women's problem.
Women aren't rapists," she said,
drawing loud applause and cheers
from the crowd.
Nikki Craft, a national women's
activist, also spoke at the event,
sporting a button that read "I Am
a Shameless Agitator. "
Craft, who is scheduled to speak
tonight in the Student Union, said
society's attitude toward women
must change before the situation
would improve.
"It is . . (society's) looking at
women as commodities to be used
and discarded" that causes violence
against women, she said. "We're
tired of women being portrayed in
this light ... and we're not going
to take it anymore."
It is the belief that pornography
contributes to misconceptions about
women, she said, that has led two
groups of which she is a member
(Citizens for Media Responsibility
Without Law and The National
Rampage Against Penthouse) to call
for a boycott on such Penthouse
magazine advertisers as Panasonic,
Canon, Casio, Sanyo and
Magnovox.
After Craft spoke, the group
marched from the planetarium to the
Chapel Hill Auto Sales lot at North
Graham and West Franklin streets
for the rally, at which several people
spoke.
There, Elaine McMichael, a repre
sentative of the Triangle Women's
Karate Association, demonstrated
how to assume a fighting position.
The audience then practiced punch
ing at what McMichael identified as
"weak points" of potential assailants.
"What we're going for tonight is
eyes, noses and windpipes," she said
enthusiastically. Her attitude seemed
infectious as audience members
practiced the moves and the kiai, or
yell, she taught them.
McMichael said all women should
learn basic self-defense techniques.
"I was in a situation before my
karate experience . . . where I was
attacked," she said. "And I wasn't
able to defend myself then. That's
why I go to karate three times a week
now," she said.
Beverly Kawalec, a Chapel Hill
Town Council member and candi
date for mayor, said the march and
rally were wonderful.
"There's a real spirit of coopera
tion", among the rally participants,
she said, adding that the event filled
her with "pride in women . . . and
in how far we've come in the last
few years."
Chris Cox, a 25-year-old graduate
student in Duke's School of Divinity,
said he and three friends came to
Chapel Hill for the march and rally
because "it's going to make people
aware that . . . there are some people
that are sick and tired of it (violence
against women)."
Cox was one of about 30 male
rally participants.
Lynn Fontana, a law school
student from New Orleans, La., said:
"I think it's kind of cathartic to come
and do these things. After the Sharon
Stewart episode, I felt so enraged.
Women feel they can't go out at night
because there are men who are going
I to come and get us. "
K "That makes us feel hostile, and
it's not going to do any good for
us to be as violent as they (men) are,"
she said.
Events like the march and rally
"help us channel those feelings of
anger," she said. "I think it also helps
women feel like fighting back."
James Davis, a junior interdisci
plinary major from Asheville, gave ,
a different reason for attending the
event.
"Guilt ... my own guilt . . . guilt
that I am one of a nation of people
that allows women to be exploited.
"I feel that I'm as much a chauv
inist as most men are, and most
women; my being here is liberating
for the women," he said.
