The Daily Tar HeelFriday, March 27, 19873 UNC Jazz Band entertains diners in the Commons By ROM CRAWFORD StartWriter 1 Diners in Lenoir Hall Thursday evening were pleasantly surprised to find members of the UNC Jazz Band jamming in the Commons. The band, composed of musicians from UNC's music department, is scheduled to perform in the Commons every Thursday until the end of the semester. The members of the band will rotate with other department musicians so that the band will be different each week, according to Mike Scheffres, unit manager for Lenoir cafeteria. "If all goes well, hopefully, well be promoting (the band) again in the fall," Scheffres said. Reactions of the students eating and listening during the concert were overwhelmingly favorable. "It's nice to have live music, especially jazz, instead of the usual Top Ten stuff," said Chris Kridler, a sophomore from Landenberg, Pa. Gregory Khost, a freshman from Caldwell, N.J., said having the concert in the Commons was a good idea. "It's more like a club," he said. Also, the people who don't want to hear the music can eat upstairs, he said. One diner, who declined to be identified, said, "I don't like it at all. I don't like that kind of music and it's too loud." The diner complained that the concert interfered with conversation. But Dal Sparrow, a freshman from Kinston, disagreed. "It's nice. It provides some kind of entertainment and gives us something to talk about." The concert was part of an effort to make the campus food service more enjoyable for students, said Jessica Johnson, student liaison for the Marriott Corporation, which runs the food service. "Marriott is very interested in having the students enjoy the food service, and they thought providing a non-disruptive music service would do that," Johnson said. Marriott Food Service Director Bill Dux said the food service has also considered expanding entertain ment to include other types of music and live comedy. Marriott would like the Commons to become a social gathering place for students at night, Dux said. "There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of nighttime entertainment here, or anywhere else on campus, and we're trying to take advantage of that," he said.

CGLA schedules activities for Lesbian and Gay Awareness Week By SHEILA SIMMONS Staff Writer The 10th annual Lesbian and Gay Awareness Week aims to promote awareness about homosexuals and educate people about homosexual lifestyles, Carolina Gay and Lesbian Association Co-Chairman Greg Johnson said. The 10-day event features films, workshops and speakers addressing gay and lesbian issues which deal with the easing of discrimination against homosexuals, Johnson said. "We (CGLA members) hope to dispel some of the myths about homosexuality and show people that some of the preconceptions about gays and lesbians are not true," said Mike Nelson, awareness week coordinator. "Members of the CGLA are active people involved in politics and religious activities," Nelson said The week, ' which begins today with a film in the Student Union auditorium, ends April 6 with a play about the thousands of gays and lesbians slaughtered in Nazi concen tration camps during World War II. Walter L. Williams, whose book "The Spirit and the Flesh: Sexual Diversity in American Indian Cul ture" received a Pulitzer Prize nomination, will speak on sexual diversity in American Indian nations. Williams will give his speech at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in 104 Howell Hall. Organization sponsors walk for needy By SHERRIE THOMAS Staff Writer The Church World Service is recruiting walkers and sponsors for the first area CROP walk, to take place April 25 as a fund raiser to feed the hungry. CWS, a division of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., is sponsoring the walk. Registration starts at 1 p.m. and the participants start walking at 2 p.m. The goal this year is $68,000, said J. Edwin King, Carolina Regional Director of Church World Service CROP. "Twenty-five percent of the money raised will go to the Inter-Faith Council in the area, which is a group of 34 congregations in Chapel Hill and Carrboro which sponsors a soup kitchen and a homeless shelter," King said. Unless walkers request that the remaining 75 percent of the money raised be donated to other relief services, it will be given to CWS. CROP is primarily a hunger-relief service, said Rev. Larry Hartsell, the campus pastor from the Lutheran Campus Ministry. "It's not just food for other people but helping others to help themselves by learning to dig wells, learning crop rotation, and other things that might be particularly suited for certain areas," Hartsell said, "so that in the long run, there will be fewer people who need direct food aid. "People also feel better about themselves if they can help them selves rather than receiving food directly," he said. The 10 kilometer walking route will pass through Chapel Hill and Carrboro, but the exact route is pending final approval from the Chapel Hill Police Department, King said. King encouraged students to participate in the CROP walk. Interested students should go to the recruiter at their church for infor mation and help in finding sponsors. They can also go to the Campus Y or the IFC to pick up their sponsor cards, he said. Hartsell said he will set up a table in the Pit April 21-24, from about 1 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., to recruit walkers and sponsors. "This is the first time Chapel Hill has had the CROP walk," Hartsell said. "It's been very successful in other areas." Nelson said Williams, who earned his doctorate from UNC, will help to show that non-Western cultures are not as discriminatory toward homosexuals as American culture. A CGLA member and AIDS patient will speak about his disease and will answer questions from the audience at 3 p.m. Tuesday in 205 Student Union. , ; Nelson said the diverse group of activities is geared toward educating the heterosexual students arid com munity, as well as providing social activities for gays and lesbians. The event is being funded by CGLA fund-raising events which collected about $500 for the event, Nelson said. Johnson said he hopes that people who attend the events will be able to see that gays and lesbians are humans and that homosexuality is not wrong. According to Nelson, "Many students on the University campus come from backgrounds that are not very understanding of homosexuals." Nelson said that through the awareness week, the CGLA will be able to correct some of the misun derstandings people may have about gay and lesbian students.
