Vine Deloria wants to start a spark.
People must become more
involved in the issues of the civil rights
and Indian movements, the human
rights activist told a packed audito
rium in Hanes Art Center Wednesday
night.
Deloria, a professor of political
science and law at the University of
Arizona, spoke about the rights of
Indians, women, animals and the
land.

Associate Dean Hayden Ren wick,
an outspoken critic of the University's
minority policies during his 18 years
at UNC, has resigned his position to
accept a job at Fayetteville State
University.
However, Renwick denied that his
decision was caused by his
dissatisfaction with the administra
tion's efforts to increase minority
enrollment and ease racial tension.
"I felt that I needed a change," he
said in an interview Wednesday. "I
see an opportunity at Fayetteville
State to help."
Renwick will become special assis
tant to Fayetteville State University
Chancellor Lloyd Hackley on Mon
day. Hackley, the former UNC
system vice president of student
services and special programs,
accepted the FSU chancellorship in
1987.
Renwick said that an article in
Wednesday's Raleigh News and
Observer, which quoted him as
stating that he was leaving because
of dissatisfaction with the treatment
of minority students at UNC, was
incorrect.

A course about critical issues in the
AIDS crisis is being offered for the
first time in the School of Public
Health this semester.
The course was the brainchild of
second-year graduate student Jay
Neufeld. "The course is not designed
as an in-depth, difficult course, but
to give people the facts so they can
make decisions in dealing with the
AIDS epidemic," he said.
The new course, "Issues in Health
Care (AIDS Epidemic)" or HPAA
33, is the only course in the School
of Public Health that is specifically
designed to address AIDS, he said.
About 100 students are enrolled in
the one-hour credit course. The class
is not limited to public health stu
dents, and space is still available,
Neufeld said.

lished to commemorate the lives and
work of those who have supported
human rights.
Since he has followed the civil
rights movement closely throughout
his life, Deloria said, he has to
distinguish Indian rights from those
of the civil rights movement.
He feels that the next presidential
administration should try to guide
social reform back to old Indian ideas
of family, emphasizing the "funda
mental things."

Renwick said he is sorry to be

he said. "To sever that very special

Bill Luckey, UNC associate pro

stration, said a variety of students
have registered for the course.
"I think it is going to be pheno
menal," he said. "This is the type of
course where we used to get 35
students. Now we have three times
that response."
Luckey attributed the greater
student interest to the epidemic,
saying "students need the know

said he was looking forward to the
course. "I want to get a current update
on various aspects of AIDS and
opinions of people from outside the

Although fraternity pranks, messy
houses and rowdy parties are nothing
new, the fun and games at UNC may
have reached a dangerous low, and
national Greek organizations may be
powerless to help.
In the last two years, UNC frater
nity members have been involved in
gambling rings, hazing and a rape
case. But the most pervasive problem
appears to be low-quality housing.
Most fraternity housing falls under
the jurisdiction of local fraternity
chapters and housing corporations,
which are responsible for maintaining
the houses, said Todd Stufflebeam,
assistant executive director of the
National Interfraternity Council.
"I can think of places you would
think were the Taj Mahal," Stuffle
beam said. "Some fraternities have no
open parties, no alcohol and the
environment is conducive to main

1960s used their energies too quickly,
he said. If protesters had approached
their causes more like the Indians,
pulling together as a community,
Deloria said many of their protests
would have made a greater impact.
The American women's movement
could also learn from Indian culture,
he said.
Indian women play a larger role
in their society than the average
American woman does, he said.
"In tribes, men are the chiefs and
women are the clan mothers, choos
ing which men should be the chiefs,"
he said. "They look at a person's
relationship that we have is an ordeal
for me."
Renwick said he would like his
successor to continue his efforts to
improve conditions for minority
students.
"I think it's very important that
support services continue," he said.
"Black and American Indian students
take pride in this office, and that is
something that shouldn't be shunned
or put aside."

Neufeld said students in all public
health fields need to understand the
epidemic of acquired immune defi
ciency syndrome.
"I thought it was something that
needed to be done," he said. "It is
needed not just for students in public
health, but for the whole university."
The lecture series course will
consist of 13 sessions featuring
speakers from across the country. The
lecture topics cover all aspects of the
issues accompanying AIDS, Neufeld
said.
Luckey said students interested in
learning about certain aspects of
AIDS may attend the lectures, even
if they have not enrolled in the course.

School of Public Health, will deliver

houses' decay to age and constant use,
as well as the lack of housing
corporation involvement and the
small amount of money reinvested
into house improvement.
But the housing problems may also
have roots in national organizations
failure to provide guidelines for
acceptable chapter housing.

A leader such as Gary Hart would
not succeed in such a society, Deloria
said.
As Deloria began to speak about
animals, he explored the relationship
between humans and other animals.
"Are we responsible to other life

Humans should pay attention to

their strengths and knowledge and
applying it to human society.

Special to the DTH
As long as there have been frater
nity houses at UNC, town residents
have complained about loud parties
and littered yards. But in recent
months, housing condemnations and
rape charges have overshadowed the
usual complaints, worrying some
University administrators.
"My personal opinion is that
fraternities are more out of control
then they used to be," said James
Cansler, associate vice chancellor of
student affairs.
The serious charges against frater
nities began in November 1986, when
a Daily Tar Heel story told of
widespread gambling on campus.
Three of the gamblers interviewed
said thousands of dollars were bet
each week at their fraternity houses.
"Society as a whole has fewer
controls over individuals and
groups," Cansler said. "A more
permissive society has simply permit

responsibility to the local corpora
tions, the fraternity does offer a risk
management program to its chapters.
The program sends field secretaries
to examine the houses, said Kelly
Powers, director of business affairs
for the national Phi Gamma Delta
office. The secretaries gauge intang
ible risks, such as the fraternity's
actions, and actual risks, such as a
broken step or handrail, Powers said.
"Enforcement comes from the local
housing corporations," Powers said.
"It's more a local matter."
Chi Psi fraternity also relies on
local groups to oversee the Chi Psi
Lodges. The fraternity does have a
housing checklist, but it offers no
formal guidelines, said Joe Hughes,
administrative director for the
national office.
"Probably the reason we have been
successful (with housing) is that we
have very strong local groups that
have overseen those buildings,"' he
and we need to be responsible to
them," Deloria said.
He also addressed the question of
the land.
"When people spend a generation
on the land they have a moral
ownership to it," Deloria said. The
emotions people have about the land
can build up, he said, and authorities
should remember that when they
make decisions concerning land
ownership.
A problem arises when the laws of
the land are made so precise that they
can't be understood and followed, he
said.
ted people to drift."
Two Sigma Phi Epsilon brothers
may have drifted too far on Aug. 20,
when an early-morning sexual
encounter led to second-degree rape
charges against Frederick W. Harri
son and Bradley D. Bowers.
According to a UNC junior's
testimony at a probable cause hearing
Nov. 18, she was drunk and trying
to walk to a friend's dormitory room
when Harrison and two other men
called her to the steps of the Sigma
Phi Epsilon house.
The woman testified that she
eventually went into the house and
heard Harrison, who doesn't live
there, ask someone for a key to a
room.
"The next thing I realized, the lights
were out and my clothes were off,"
she said, telling the court that
Harrison, then Bowers, then Harri
son again, had sex with her.

Judge Stanley Peele found probable
to better fraternities
said. "We also try to have large pieces
of land. I think one of the problems
at UNC is that many of the houses
are arranged in a row. They are
grouped in such a way that they have
no space to move around. They can't
recover from each other."
The town inspector condemned
Chi Psi in August after finding 14
safety and housing violations. The
lodge has since corrected the prob
lems, said local president Jon Baker.
Within the next year, the National
Interfraternity Council will offer a
program called INTERCHANGE, a
self-assessment tool to help fraterni
ties set goals and develop improve
ment strategies, Stufflebeam said.
Housing is part of the self-assessment
criteria, he said. But to participate in
the program, the local interfraternity
council must voluntarily request it,
he said. Other than the housing self
assessment, NIC provides no other
housing guidelines.

case will soon go to Superior Court.
A grand jury could still indict Bowers.
Neither Cansler nor UNC Chan
cellor Christopher Fordham would
comment on the possibility of Uni
versity action against Sigma Phi
Epsilon.
Housing condemnations
But while the rape trial will affect
only one fraternity, deteriorating
houses have been a widespread
problem.
Members of 12 fraternities
returned to school in August to find
their houses condemned by Chapel
Hill building inspectors for building
code violations, ranging from missing
light covers to outdated electrical
wiring. All but one of the houses have
since passed reinspection, but town
officials say fraternity houses will
continue to cause trouble.
See FRATERNITIES page 3
Despite the lack of national guide
lines, Stufflebeam said the decline of
UNC fraternities surprised him.
"UNC is such a traditional South
ern school," he said. "I just assumed
the fraternities would have a lot of
tradition, like house mothers, sere
nading and gentlemanliness of frater
nity members."
The problems, however, aren't
confined to bricks and concrete.
Many fraternity members have
dropped serenading and gentleman
liness, going beyond cute fraternity
pranks to crime.
Nude runs, forcing pledges to drink
large quantities of beer and midnight
kidnappings are popular events
during pledge periods.
"All of the fraternities (in NIC)
agreed that there would be no hazing
in fraternities," Stufflebeam said.
"We don't endorse this type of
