The Daily Tar Heel Friday, October 14, 19887 i Stromig cSefeimse leads Pack imfo A Clockwise from left: Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman, Sting, Bruce Springsteen and Youssou N'Dour Musicians tour worldwide in support of human ri By ASHLEY CAMPBELL Stal! Writer Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chap man, Bruce Springsteen and Youssou N'Dour have spent the past six weeks on the Human Rights Now! World Concert Tour as part of a campaign to promote awareness of human rights. The tour, organized by Amnesty International and sponsored by Reebok International, is part of Amnesty's Human Rights Now! campaign. The campaign is focusing attention on the Universal Declara tion of Human Rights, which the United National General Assembly adopted on Dec. 10, 1948. "Amnesty chooses musicians who really relate to the human rights message," said Jan Goldstein, a spokeswoman for the tour. Peter Gabriel and Sting are members of Amnesty and played in the "Conspi racy of Hope" tour. Tracy Chapman's music is very applicable to the tour, she said. Peter Gabriel discovered Youssou N'Dour, a popular musician in his native Senegal, Goldstein said. N'Dour played on Gabriel's most recent album, "So." "There were a lot of artists who wanted to be involved in the tour," she said. "Amnesty wanted a balance of people: male and female, black and white, and big names and smaller names." The tour opened in London on Sept. 2 and traveled to five conti nents. The tour ends tomorrow in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the show will be broadcast on radio live worldwide from 3 to 9 p.m. EST. Some local members of Amnesty International went to the Human Rights Now! concert in Philadelphia on Sept. .19. "We didn't know what to expect, said-Bethany Chaney, co-president of UNC-CH's Amnesty group. When they arrived at the concert, the group members were given book- Nursing nursing students already have their associate degrees and are trying to earn their baccalaureates, and many nurses are returning to work for a master's degree. UNC-system officials say they are unconcerned about the national exam success rate. "There are no courses for credit which prepare students for the exam, but we encourage students to take a review class provided by the University," said Patricia Cham ings, dean of the UNC-Greensboro school of nursing. Professors are also trying to give tests that prepare students for the situations they will encounter on the national exam, Chamings said. IJNC-CH graduates have almost a 90 percent success rate, about six points higher than the national and statp averages, Copp said. pne has to remember that com munity colleges have few graduates taking the exam. A typical commun ity pollege will have 12 people take the exam, while UNC-CH usually has almpst 150 graduates take it," she said-.

The concert was wonderful, and Amnesty International showed videos during the breaks to give the concert-goers an idea of what the concert was about. "The message was that you have to know what your human rights are, because you can't defend them if you don't know what they are," Chaney said. Amnesty International will show a film produced for the tour during UNC's Human Rights Week, Nov. 13-17. A group of 32 animators from 13 countries collaborated on the film, which depicts the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. "The film was motivational and gave me a sense of purpose," Chaney said, adding that everyone who watched the film and videos was attentive, applauding afterwards. HBO has been on location at . several of the concerts, filming onstage and backstage, Goldstein said. HBO will air a three hour special on Dec. 10, the anniversary of the declaration. Also on Dec. 10, Amnesty Inter national will present petitions to the United Nations. The petitions, signed by people who want to add their names to the declaration, have been circulating at all of the concerts and by Amnesty International groups. Another aspect of Human Rights 1 Now! is an annual award sponsored by Reebok. On Dec. 7, Reebok will give $50,000 each to two recipients who have significantly raised awareness of human rights and exercised freedom of expression. Peter Gabriel and Sting are among the board of advisers who will select the award winners. "The award will seek to assist individuals who alone or as a member of a group can productively absorb the funding," a statement from Reebok said. from page 1 exam, Shugart said. Most officials interviewed said graduates of all nursing schools can find jobs easily upon certification because North Carolina is suffering from the nationwide nursing shortage.

Reebok is the only athletic corpo ration that does not do business, in South Africa, Goldstein said. Amnesty International researched the corporation and found that Reebok does feel strongly about human rights. "We would like to see more people and especially young people interested and active in the human rights issue," said C. Joseph LaBonte, president of Reebok. "We are responding to Amnesty's conviction that individuals can work together to make the Universal Declaration of Human Rights more than just a piece of paper." WRDU (106 FM) in Raleigh was going to broadcast the concert on Saturday but was having technical difficulties, said Michael Hughes, program director of WRDU. The station has been doing a lot of promotions for the tour and gave away tickets for the show in Philadelphia.

KeDiauri mmatclhiyp wptlhi ; By ANDREW PODOLSKY Assistant Sports Editor . Will Mack Brown get his first win at UNC this weekend when winless North Carolina hosts N.C. State, in Kenan Stadium? All of Chapel Hill has been asking this question for the past five games and, to be quite honest, the picture is not getting much brighter. The 0 5 Tar Heels will have a tough time picking up that elusive first win on Saturday when the Wolfpack comes to town lugging a 4-1 record for the noon matchup. While N.C. State is hot off a 49 0 thrashing of East Tennessee State, UNC is busy recovering from a stomping courtesy of Wake Forest, 42-24. That's right, UNC was stomped by a team that State has already beaten this year. While UNC has been stretching its losing streak this year, State has beaten Western Carolina (45-6), the aforementioned Deacs (14-6), Geor gia Tech (14-6), and, of course, ETSU. Their lone loss came narrowly at Maryland by the tally of 30-26. But .before the Tar Heels get too caught up in psychological factors, there are some rather imposing physical factors to consider as well. First and foremost, the Wolfpack defense is tough. They are ranked second in the nation against the rush (67.6 yards per game), third in total defense (217 yards per game) and fourth in points allowed (8.8 per game). And they lead the ACC in The DTH Campus Calendar is a daily listing of University-related activities sponsored by academic departments, student services and student organizations officially recognized by the Division of Student Affairs.

The defensive stalwarts so far this year are Fred Stone at inside line backer (52 tackles), Scott Auer at outside linebacker (30 tackles, six sacks) and Jessie Campbell at strong safety (33 tackles, three interceptions). ' v The Wolfpack's offense evenly balances the running and passing attacks. State averages 208 yards passing and 194 yards rushing each game, and on average, puts 31 points on the scoreboard. Sophomore Preston Poag (504 yards, 3 TDs) should get the starting nod at quarterback, but junior Shane Montgomery will come in when the Pack needs to inject the two-minute offense. Poag can run the ball but is more effective in the air. . When they go to the run, State will have any of six running backs and fullbacks to choose from". Freshman Tyrone Jackson ran for 136 yards last week against East Tennessee State, and he will see most of the action at running back. Todd Vara returns from an injury to back up Jackson. Yarn has 58 yards rushing, but more importantly, he is the team's second-leading reciever. with nine receptions. The wideouts could present a more 1 challenging problem for the porous Tar Heel secondary. Former All ACC pick Naz Worthen is back at wide receiver this year after sitting out 1987 on suspension.

Playing at split end is Danny Peebles, who has latched onto six passes for 192 yards and is a dan gerous threat because of his all-world speed. The offensive line is strong and big, led by 1987 All-ACC center Chuck Massaro. Tight end Ted Harrell will come in on big play situations to lay that key block or come off the line to scoop up a short pass. Brown seems pretty upbeat about facing the Wolfpack, especially when he heard that Wolfpack coach Dick Sheridan praised his team in his weekly press conference. "I'm really angry with Milo McCarthy, our running backs coach," he said at his weekly press conference Tuesday. "He must have sent coach Sheridan our films from last year. Or maybe it was 1980, because this year we are definitely not a dominant football team." ; Of course, Saturday's game will be a big home contest for UNC because they will line up against their tradi tional rivals in red. Not to mention the fact that it will be Ram's Day. Once again, the Tar Heels have nothing to lose and everything to gain this weekend State is expected to win. Perhaps with not as much pressure to win, North Carolina can come out and play with the intensity they know they have and finally catch their first fish of the season.
