8The Daily Tar HeelMonday, September 19, 1988 Students can th pi get active wi nion annin U board By CHERYL ALLEN Staff Writer Walking through the Carol ina Student Union, it becomes apparent that there is something for everyone. But without the Carolina Union Activities Board (CUAB), students wouldn't be able to check out the latest exhibit in the art gallery, watch science fiction films in the Union auditorium or listen to bands at the Cabaret. This "behind the scenes" organization is crucial to Union activities. And the CUAB is in search of new members. The purpose of the CUAB is to provide programming for students, using the student activities fees alot ted to the board, said CUAB presi dent Tracy Taft, a senior interna tional studies anthropology major.' "We try to spend the activity fees L1 gordon nixon COTS PERMS COLOR Campus Group Focus in a way that will be educational and enjoyable and will benefit the college community," Taft said. The board consists of 11 subcom mittees and two ad-hoc committees. The funds are divided among the committees, which gives each the means to contribute to Union activities. Union committees include Cabaret, performing arts, forum, film, special projects, publicity, sports and recreation, public rela tions, gallery, human relations, social, college bowl and the per forming arts outreach committee.

The film committee has brought numerous films to the Union, , including last winter's chiller "Fatal Attraction." Coming soon are such timeless favorites as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and "2001: A Space Odyssey." . The human relations committee is responsible for bringing to the Union such people as Bernice Sandler, who will discuss "Sexual Harassment and Student Life." Outreach By MYRNA MILLER Staff Writer. , Several of the inmates at the Orange County Correctional Center have few visitors; some are from out of town, and others have been ignored or forgotten by their families, said John Day, a senior economics major from Rocky Mount and co-chairperson of the Campus Y Yokefellows group. This minimum security prison involves a fairly set schedule, and the inmates have little chance to involve themselves with people out side the prison environment, he added Also, many of the inmates are fairly young men and really would like to talk to someone close to their own age, said Ken Barker, Chaplain for the Orange County Prison unit. 661 don't want a lot of hype.

The gallery committee is responsi ble for the past showings of photos from El Salvador; "Vincent," the play about Vincent Van Gogh; and . the upcoming exhibit by Lila Kat zen, a New York sculptor. "Everything that you see that has Carolina Union on the bottom of it, the activities board has thought up, approved, and made real," said gallery committee chairwoman Merry Meadows, a junior psychol ogy major. program joins students, inmates Campus Group Focus ' All of the above are reasons why Campus Y has its own group involved in the Yokefellows program. Elton Trueblood, a noted Quaker theologian, initiated the program in the 1950s. "He saw there was a lot of Bible study and preaching in the prison and wanted another program, one that involved genuine Christian car ing, friendship and fellowship, not evangelizing," Barker said. Although many church groups became involved with the interna tional program, Campus Y's stu dents added something special, Barker said.

That's just what youll get when you choose AI&T Long Distance Service, at a cost that's a lot less than you think You can expect low long distance rates, 24-hour operator assistance, clear con nections and immediate credit for wrong numbers.

No experience is necessary to be a member of the CUAB, according to Taft. The board just wants "great people with great ideas," she said. "I'm inviting freshmen to grad students to come out and be on the CUAB committees," said public relations committee chairwoman Teresa Frazier, a sophomore . French international studies major. "As we say in our posters, 'Give Us Your Gusto because the Union is always needing a lot of energy and new ideas and different talents, and that is what we are seeking." s' The opportunity to get involved with the Union is available without The UNC Yokefellows spent an hour with inmates last week when the Campus Y program resumed action, said Heather Harriss, a jun ior english major from Durham and co-chairperson of the Campus Y Yokefellows group. "We sat with the inmates, giving them a break in their set schedule, talking to them about their prison sentences and the prison system, as well as college life and sports," she said.' "The inmates seem to appreciate the students, who are young, ener getic and represent a life that many of them have missed out on," Har riss added. "They really enjoy talk ing about sports and would love to have some UNC athletes become involved in the Yokefellows program." Mr --0 necessarily making an enormous . -jrjz time commitment to the CUAB, Meadows said, "Anyone can work i for the Union because we program for all of the students, so we want a good representative body here doing xn the programming," she said. fi2 New members would only be 'I required to have fun, get involved 0 I and have a say in what the CUAB isi:! bringing to campus, Taft added. , .. oi Applications for the CUAB are - ol available at the desk of the Union, ' t! and some committees have informal"! interviews.

All the inmates are looking for is friendship, support and maybe some , . advice on the outside world, Day - . said. i s j j ji The program also benefits the stu- j; dents who are involved in it, Harriss" i; said. wIt just makes you feel really good, and it is so much fun." As a new Yokefellows member, ,' V Harriss admitted that at first, she was a little nervous and scared about talking to the inmates. How- . ; ever, she said once she got there, it t ; was easy to relax and enjoy herself. -i Barker said Harriss's reaction was common. "It's normal for anybody to be scared or anxious when they 1 ' ; step into a prison yard for the first time," he said. Students who are interested in the ; Yokefellows program should realize that the Orange County Correc-: . tional Center is a minimum security unit, Barker said. No threats or inci- -H dents or threats of violence have ever been connected with the Yoke- I fellows program. ! The center is the inmates' last step j in the prison system, Harriss said, I '. and students need not be afraid. ; They should keep the relationship on a first name basis with the . inmates, but it's not a good idea to give out personal information like ''.) phone numbers, she added. Last week, the Campus Y group X had about 18 students mingle with approximately 40 inmates. But the ; group would like to see more stu- y, dents involved, Harriss said. The group meets every Tuesday int the Union at 7 p.m. and spends one hour at the prison from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., Day said.' Anyone who is .yt interested is welcome to come on any Tuesday night. The group also invites interested students to come by the Campus Y 'z?. or to attend their organizational .s t ? meeting tonight -at 7:30 p.m. in -Room 2 1 8 of the Union: ' - !c Tuition from page 1' is unlikely, "largely because the state has provided a great deal of support. "That has to be looked at as a ; matter of degree. That's always a relative issue," he said. A tuition increase would probably not have a large effect on the number of applications UNC's Office of Undergraduate Admissions receives each year; Anthony Strickland, assistant director of undergraduate admissions, said. "It probably would not cut down applications substantially," he said. "It would still mean that we are a bargain on comparatively-ranked institutions." Since UNC's admissions process is need-blind, Strickland said a higher tuition would not affect applicants chances of acceptance. "A high capacity to pay has never been a factor. It would have no effect there," he said. KARATE CLASSES l Mon.&Wed. 6:30 pm '. Woollen Gym 1 ir Introductory Class Mftn..
