U.S. Ambassador Richard Viets came to UNC
Monday as part of a nationwide tour to solicit
opinions on apartheid in South Africa.
For three weeks, Viets has been visiting the
nation's colleges, universities and groups
concerned with the issue of South African
apartheid.
Viets was U.S. ambassador to Tanzania (1979
81) and to Jordan (1981-84). He is a career
minister in the Foreign Service.
"I am interested in carrying back to my
political masters' what is on the minds of the
intellectual and thoughtful citizens of this
country about the issue of apartheid," Viets said.
About 22 representatives from UNC, Duke
and N.C. State attended the luncheon at the
Carolina Inn.
Viets began the luncheon with a brief but
tough statement against the South African
government's policy.
"Words are no longer enough in South
Africa," Viets said. "Action is needed. The nature
of our discussion with the South African
government is probably the most blunt dialogue
that weVe had with any other country in the
world, including (the Soviet Union)," he said.
James R. Leutze, coordinator of the luncheon
and chairman of UNC's history department, said
he would like to see the American energy being
used on South Africa's civil rights problems
funneled into the United States' race problems.
The United States may only have slight influence
on South Africa, but racial problems in the
United States are real and immediate, he said.
"It seems to me that the terrible situation in
South Africa has become something of a
diversion, distracting attention from what I feel
is still a most unsatisfactory racial situation in
this country," Leutze said. "I am not pleased
with the civil rights record of this
administration."
Leutze said he also doubted the commitment
of the Reagan administration to bring about
change in South Africa.
Leutze related his sentiments on apartheid to
those of Walter Hines Page, a North Carolinian
who was U.S. Ambassador to the United
Kingdom before the United States entered
World War I. Page read a stinging message to
the British government from President Wood
row Wilson.
Leutze said: "In perfectly proper form, Page
read the message aloud and then said in effect,
'Now that that's over, let me sit down with you
and well draft a reply.' I sometimes get that
feeling about this administration."
Viets said, "There is no list on the wall in
the State Department that says apartheid is being
dismantled when these criteria are met."
He said the Reagan administration was
demanding four things of the South African
government: the end of the current state of
emergency, the release of political prisoners,
equality among all citizens, and the end of
apartheid.
Colin Palmer, chairman of Afro-American
studies at UNC, said he wondered whether the
Reagan administration would take more action
against South African apartheid if the situation
was reversed a black minority ruling over
a white majority. ,
"This country cannot afford to lose its moral
integrity," Palmer said. "Our. government ought
to act on the basis that it was founded on."
Allen Taylor, a UNC senior and vice chairman
of the College Republicans, said he wanted more
U.S. investment in American-owned companies
in South Africa.
"American businesses have contributed to the
health care for blacks in South Africa," he said.
"Also, American businesses have created the
only black middle-class, in Africa."
Taylor said he believed the additional
investment could provide an economic leverage
for the blacks.
Viets said it was not the Reagan administra
tion's purpose to promote investment or
divestment in American companies in South
Africa.
In an interview after the luncheon, Viets said
he thought economic means, such as divestment,
to end apartheid would not be effective because
America's economic link to South Africa was
too weak. He said he thought political pressures,
such as concerting efforts with European allies,
would be a more effective weapon against the
South African government.
"My feeling essentially about South Africa is
one of moral indignation," Viets said. "But moral
indignation does not always transfer into good
foreign policy.
"We have to view the situation analytically,"
he said. "I do not carry the flag for the Reagan
administration; I carry it for the United States
government."
Kenneth S. Broun, dean of the UNC School
of Law, said one relatively positive aspect of
South Africa was its judicial system, which was
independent from the government.
"What struck me as a bright spot in a dismal
area is the judicial system," Broun said. "It is
not as strong as America's judicial system, but
there is a chance to gain some civil rights progress
there."
Viets said that views in America's mid-east
and northwest have generally been supportive
of Reagan's policy.
"I have been in areas where the issue has not
been as burning," Viets said. He said the crowd
at a speech at Guilford College in Greensboro
was supportive of Reagan.

Seniors often graduate in December
because of personal concerns, parental
pressure or a job they want to take.
"Graduating mid-year is a little
awkward," said Ann Coenen, student
services manager in the arts and sciences
department. "If they don't have a job,
theyH stay a little longer to avoid going
out into the cold, cruel world. Some
people don't quite take everything.
Those graduating early have their own
reasons. Quite often it is employment.
Or their parents say, 'Isn't it about time
for you to get out? You're in your 10th
semester!' Whether they're late or early,
there's one big push."
MI didnt know I could," said Kristin
Harper, a speech communications and
Spanish major from Chapel Hill. She
said her adviser told her last spring that
siie would need two classes after this
fall to graduate. She took those last
summer.
"My fiance and I thought it would
be great to get married in December,"
Harper said. They will leave in March
for Germany, where he will be stationed
in the military for three years. Harper
hopes to teach English as a second
language for children of Spanish
speaking military personnel on the base.
She said she would not need a teaching
certificate.
Harper said graduating early saved
the money it would cost for that
semester. Also, in December the job
market isnt flooded yet, although many
employers do not come to campus for
interviews until the spring, she said.
"If I wasnt getting married I'd stay
another semester because I love col
lege," Harper said. "I wish there was
a ceremony in December. It's hard not
to be able to graduate with my friends,
many of whom IVe been in school with
since second grade."
About 837 degrees were awarded in
December 1984, said Sue Cheek, degree
supervisor and University registrar. She
expects this year's figure to be similar,

From staff reports
William Humes, North Carolina's
leading rusher in the young season,
underwent arthroscopic surgery
Monday morning to repair torn
cartilage on the outside of his left
knee. Dr. Timothy Taft, who per
formed the surgery, said that the
operation went smoothly but that
it is impossible to tell at this point
aDD player
operator
whether Humes will be able to play
anymore this season.
Humes sustained the injury Tues
day afternoon in practice, after
rushing for 104 yards in UNC's 51
7 win over VMI. Overall, in the
season's first three games, the junior
tailback from Asheville has carried
the ball 49 times for 194 yards and
three touchdowns.
but said it was too early to tell.
Coenen, who is in charge of checking
applications and requirements for
graduations, said she had received and
processed about 325 applications for
December graduations from the School
of Arts and Sciences. She said that was
"about the norm, since we're the largest
school here." . r
Seniors who want to graduate in
December still can apply, Coenen said,
but they must see the dean of the school
in which they are enrolled. She said the
deadline was more flexible since the
number of graduating seniors was
smaller than in May.
"Unlike the May graduation where
diplomas must be on hand, we have, a
little more time and flexibility in the
fall for ordering and sending out
diplomas," she said.
"Only about one-quarter of the
December graduates between 50 and
75 are graduating because of summer
school," Coenen said. "Usually the
people who graduate in August and
December are late. They did not
graduate in the May before . . . or
before.
"I would encourage anybody to go
to the placement service, whether
they're graduating in May or
December," Coenen said.
About 150 employers will conduct
interviews at UNC this fall, said Marcia
Harris, director of University Career
Planning and Placement Services.
"They're mainly interested in December
graduates. So you can use the placement
services for on-campus interviews."
Harris said students interested in
types of work where employers did not
visit the campus, such as advertising,
must do much of the work on their own.
She suggested these students use the
Career Resource Room in Hanes Hall
or visit the services office, Monday
through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2:30
p.m.
The placement services has seven
professional counselors on staff, and
students are encouraged to come by for
quick questions or resume critiques.
Appointments should be made for
longer visits.
Harris said the first step was to attend
an orientation workshop or look at the
brochures in the Hanes Hall office.
"Basically, to register, turn in the
registration card and 15 copies of your
resume, which are put on our computer
file.
"So when an employer calls and says,
'I want an industrial relations major .
graduating in December, we pull out
all those files and send them," she said.
"We're a liaison. We work with all the
undergraduates and graduate students,
except MB As, medical and dental
students. It's an advantage to investigate
all options."
About 2,000 students are registered
with the placement service, she said.
"We do a number of career panels
and have five planned for October,"
Harris said. "We discuss careers such
as banking, advertising, public rela
tions. On Oct. 29 and 30 we will hold
a career fair in the Union's Great Hall.
Over 70 companies will be there to talk
with students. This is open to any
student at any level. It's especially very
good for December graduates to make
contacts.
"We offer students a chance for
videotaped personal interviews," Harris
said. The tapes are then studied and
interview techniques are discussed.

In the aftermath of the Mexican
earthquakes, commmunity and student
groups focused their attention on the
Mexican relief fund, but for some UNC
students it was just a continuation of
their interest in the well-being of the
Mexican people.
Three UNC students and Philip
Walsh, a priest at St. Thomas More
Catholic Church, set up the St. Thomas
More Mexican Project and visited
Cuernavaca, Mexico, last summer to
determine the needs of the people in
the surrounding villages.
"This group existed before the
earthquakes and was not created
because of them," Walsh said. "We have
sent money to some of the families who
were left destitute because of the
earthquake."
During the summer, Walsh and the
students stayed at a monastery and tried
to find out what they could do to help
the community as well as establish
contacts. They visited an orphanage in
Meacatlan, run by Los Pequenos
Hermanos, "the Little Brothers," who
run several ophanages in Mexico.
"We're hoping to be able to send
volunteers, to house mothers and to
teach English, who are ready to commit
for at least two years because the
children need stability," said Deidra
Evans, a UNC senior who visited .
Mexico last summer. "We're hoping to
interest people in coming to the orphan
age and teaching anything from guitar
playing to crafts."
A second goal for the students is to
set up a health education program in
conjuction with a health center in
Cuernavaca. The students talked to
doctors about the health concerns in the
community. The doctors stressed the
need for better hygiene, sanitation and
nutrition.
"The program we're developing is
designed to help the people get the
health center off the ground," Evans
said.
Victor Caceres, a first-year UNC
medical student, also went on the trip.
"We tried to assess the health needs
in the community," Caceres said. "We
want to do a survey of living conditions
and find out what the problems are.
Some people are living on dirt floors.
We want to know things like where do
they get their water and do they boil
'We're trying to
set up an ex
change between
Chapel Hill and
Ahuatepec. . . .It
will help people
in need, even
more so since
the earthquakes.'
Deidra Evans
it."
Caceres said he also hoped to see a
family screening program instituted to
diagnose health problems and either
refer the people to the health center in
Cuernavaca or treat them at the local
clinics.
"This is a major project that involves
much more than just going down there,"
he said. "We need more professionals.
We're trying to find physicians."
Meanwhile, the students and Walsh
are concentrating on the orphanage.
"We haven't been in contact with the
orphanage since the earthquake,"
Caceres said. "They have offices in
Mexico City, but we haven't spoken to
them so we don't know if anything
happened."
Caceres said the Mexican project
started as a group of friends who got
together and wanted to do something
to help the Mexican people.
"We tried to do it through friend
ship," Caceres said.
Evans participated in an exchange
program in Mexico after her senior year
in high school. She became involved
with the project through the church.
"We're trying to set up an exchange
between Chapel Hill and Ahuatepec,"
Evans said. "The Mexican people are
terrific as a whole. They endeared
themselves to us. It shows a spirit of
internationalism and good will between
the United States and Mexico and it
will help people in need, even more so
since the earthquakes."
