2The Daily Tar Heel Tuesday, October 7, 1986 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.

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.
