Black student leaders call Jof solidarity
By JEAN LUTES
Assistant University Editor
Black students need to make
others aware of what being a black
on UNC's campus meanssaid
Camille Roddy, Black Student
Movement president, in the Pit
Monday to launch Black Awareness
Week.
"This week, as black students, we
need to show some solidarity and
unity," Roddy said. "We need to let
people know we are 'Black by
popular demand.' "
The controversy about Adam
Cohen's editorial cartoon in a recent
Daily Tar Heel showed the insen
sitive attitude of whites toward
blacks on campus, she said. The
cartoon pictured administrators
talking about ways to increase
minority enrollment.
"They told us we were overreact
ing," she said. "They told us to chill
out." Most students and administra
tors at the University were trying to
tell black students what they needed
to be concerned about, Roddy said.
"Regardless of how he (Cohen)
intended it to be, a lot of people
both black and white didn't see
it that way," Eric Walker, BSM vice
president, said later Monday. "The
cartoon was just a symptom of the
larger disease, where someone can
make an argument like that ' and
people don't even notice it. A lot of
people actually thought it was funny.
That kind of attitude makes preju
dice on campus more prevalent."
When black students come to a
college with a black population of
eight percent, they are forced into
a different frame of mind, Walker
said. "It puts you in a strange
environment. You still have to deal
with the problems everyone else
does, but (hey seem bigger."
"When you come into the Univer
sity, a lot of people identify black
people with Buckwheat and Aunt
Jemima and very stereotypical car
toon figures," he said.
"Organizations want to use this
awareness week to make both the
white and the black communities see
that what we're about is the same
as what everyone else is about
getting an education."
ASU sttmdeiiits, faculty protest apartheid
By FRED PATTERSON
Staff Writer
About 100 Appalachian State
University students and faculty
recently protested ASU's involve
ment in racially-troubled South
Africa, asking the administration to
divest its $7,000 in companies doing
business there.
The protesters, including 10
faculty members, assembled in front
AMERICAN
V CANCER
of ASU's main library and rallied
in the nearby Student Center. The
group marched from the Student
Center to the office of ASU Chan
cellor John Thomas, said Dr. Willie
Fleming, a participant.
Fleming, director of Minority
Student Services at ASU, said he was
delighted with the show of support
from students and faculty. He said
the protesters handled their dissatis
faction in a responsible way.
A member of the Black Student
Association, which organized the
rally and march, presented Thomas
with a petition with more than 700
signatures.
Thomas said ASU still held stock
in corporations dealing with the
South African government because
the board decided it was in the best
interests of the university to get the
greatest return on investments.
Fleming, who spent the summer
in Nairobi and heard Bishop Des
mond Tutu describe the conditions
in South Africa, said he was dev
astated after learning the conditions
of blacks living under South Africa's
apartheid system of government.
There was no single event in the
nation that triggered the event,
Fleming said. Instead, it was "just
a general frustration" with the whole
ordeal. Also, many ASU students
participated in an anti-apartheid
march in Washington, D.C., earlier
this year.
The group wants the university to
divest its holdings in corporations
that deal with South Africa as a
symbolic move to influence the U.S.
government to follow.
"Divestiture is the appropriate
move," Fleming said.
Soviet nuclear submarine
sinks; crew presumed alive
From Associated Press report
WASHINGTON - A dis
abled Soviet nuclear submarine
sank north of Bermuda before
dawn Monday, the Pentagon
announced. Sources said all the
crew were presumed to have
escaped.
A Pentagon spokesman, Col.
Marvin Braman, said survivors
were seen being picked up by
Soviet merchant ships, one of
which had been towing the
Yankee-class sub.
Two officials, who demanded
anonymity, said fewer than 24
men were believed left oh board
for the towing operation and that
life rafts were seen moving toward
a merchant ship before the sub
finally slipped beneath the surface
three days after it was wracked
by fire and an explosion.
Mrs. Reagan to stay home
WASHINGTON The Rea
gan administration said Monday
Stoto 6 National
that Nancy Reagan will remain
behind in Washington this week
end during the U.S.-Soviet sum
mit in Iceland, despite a surprise
announcement that Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev will bring his
wife.
"We were surprised that Mrs. .
Gorbachev is coming," White
House spokesman Larry Speakes
said. "It was our understanding
that this meeting was to be a
straightforward business meeting
with very little, if any, social
activity connected with it."
Unlike last November's sum
mit, which included daily social
events attended by the Soviet and
American first couples, the two
day session in Iceland was billed
by the administration as all work
on arms control and other key
issues, and no play.

Because Memories Fade

Staff Writer
A weekend break-in at the Coker
Arboretum has joined the list of
about 40 incidents of vandalism since
the semester began, according to Sgt.
Ned Comar of the University Police.
"There has been more vandalism
lately than usual," Comar said. 44 And
if we could catch somebody, we will
prosecute. This is not a prank. It's
a serious thing to vandalize
something."
Comar said that several buildings
on campus have had windows
broken by thrown rocks and fire
extinguishers that have been set off.
Also, several cars have had their
windshield wipers snapped off,

A greenhouse window panel was
broken over the weekend and about
IS pots of cacti and orchids were
thrown and kicked around, causing
about $225 in damage, Comar said.
The plants, which included a five
foot cactus, were abused or pulled
through the broken panel, said Linda
Baker, a part-time botanical worker
and pharmacy student.
"They could have done a whole
lot more damage than they did,"
Baker said.
The damage probably took place
during or after the home football
game against Georgia Tech, she said.
Comar said he thinks there is more
than one person involved in causing
the damage but does not have any
suspects yet.
The buildings included Davie,
Dey and Phillips halls and the
arboretum greenhouse.
Vandalism during a home football
or basketball game is not unusual,
but is troublesome and costly,
according to Diane Geitgey, curator
of the arboretum.
