author and commentator on National
Public Radio's "All Things Consi

Hanes Art Center Thursday night
with "The Courage to be a Woman
Artist," her account of how she
became a published writer.
Grosvenor's talk, sponsored by the
Carolina Union Human Relations
Committee and WUNC-FM, high
lighted her experiences discovering

animosity towards gays on campus,
he said.
"This referendum itself proves
there's hostility," Friedman said.
The STV referendum will be on the
ballot because of a Student Congress
bill passed Wednesday night.
The referendum will request a $1
fee increase for fall 1988 and spring
1989 to pay for STV equipment.
Tim McMillan, STV operations
manager, said the station needs two

Grosvenor said she used her cour
age later to help her become a writer.
"It takes a tremendous amount of
courage to write," said Grosvenor.
"You have to become a wordsmith
to make people feel something."
Writers also must use their courage
to overcome financial problems, said
Grosvenor.
"Most of the time the rewards are
up and down," she said. "And you
have to explain to your family why
it is you're still doing this thing that

the congress, said the money will be
requested through a referendum
because it is more money than
congress usually appropriates after
the budget process.
"I can't remember congress ever
giving an appropriation of $35,000
(after the budget process)," Riemann
said.
There will now be six referendums
on the ballot. Congress previously
approved four others, which will:
B call for a $1.25 per semester
increase in student activities fees for
general use,
B ask to strike references to specific
student organizations from the Stu
dent Constitution,
B request a change in the inaug
uration date of officials elected in
campus-wide elections, and
B ask to redefine the role of the
student body treasurer on the
congress.
Friedman said six is a large number
of referendums and may cause some
confusion.
"It's going to be rough and make
the voting process more difficult," he
said. "There will be a certain amount
of backup at the poll sites."
The referendums may cause more
people to vote, Friedman said. He
said the ones requesting fee increases
should especially bring voters out.
"Getting fees raised has a more
direct impact on people than the
student body president election,"
Friedman said.

Rape crisis center to sponsor

Anger, fear and guilt only a few
of the feelings sexual assault victims
experience will be dealt with in
a support group sponsored by the
Orange County Rape Crisis Center
beginning March 1.
The group will meet every Tuesday
from 7:30-9 p.m. for 10 weeks at the
center, located at 406 W. Rosemary
St.
Sexually assaulted women will
have an opportunity to share com
mon experiences, gain support and
learn from each other when they
participate in the group, said Tina
Groover, Committee Education and
Outreach Coordinator. "It's for
anyone, whether they prosecuted or
didn't tell anyone," she said.
Groover said the support group
will explore why the victims made the
decisions they did and if they feel guilt
because they did or didnt report the
assault.
"I'm sure well have people who
have gone through all of the channels
of reporting the assault to the police,
and they can give advice to others
contemplating the next steps,"
Groover said.
The center provides counseling and
educational services for many stu
dents. "We offer an alternative
opportunity for those who don't want
to be a part of campus groups for
sexual assault victims, for confiden
tiality or whatever reasons," Groover
said.
The Rape Crisis Center will also
