Group Oy f.lYRNA MILLER Staff Writer "any students at UNC feel they have to make a deci sion between their white friends and their black friends when they want to go out socially, said Christopher Mumford, chairman of Racial Awareness through Campus Interaction and Learning (RACIAL). "When you think about the social forum here on weekends, you realize that black students usually go to Great Hall, while white students go to fraternity parties or to Franklin Street," said Alex Hodges, vice chairman of RACIAL. To help integrate the social arenas at UNC, Mumford formed RACIAL last fall. The group wants to further race relations awareness on campus and to discover arenas in which blacks and whites can interact. ; "Race relations at UNC today are practically at a standstill by the very fact that black and white students On this campus have little opportun ity to relate to one another," Hodges Said. : To provide an opportunity for black and white students to interact, RACIAL is sponsoring a jazz festi val scheduled for sometime near the first of April, Hodges said. "We decided on a jazz and blues festival because music is a perfect arena for Social interaction between whites and blacks," he said. I- RACIAL has not yet scheduled the entertainment, but the group is Shooting for several jazz players and groups such as the Awareness Art Ensemble and possibly even B.B. King, Mumford said. -s RACIAL also plans to include speakers on race relations between each of the musical performances, Mumford said. Another of RACIAL's main pro grams this year is a series of small group discussions starting in about two weeks, Mumford said. These discussions will try to bring different campus groups together for open discussions on three topics. The topics are " Cosby Show vs. 'Family Ties'; The Portrayal of - Halloween run to help fund YWCA By DAVID ACERHATHY Stiff Writer If you are one of those people who uses Halloween as an excuse to consume exorbitant amounts of candy, then you may want to get a little exercise in beforehand. And you might as well contribute to a worthy cause while killing off those p re-candy calories. The YWCA will hold its third annual Golden Corral Halloween Run in Raleigh at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30. And new events should make race day more exciting than in the past. Besides the eight-kilometer run, there will be a Halloween carnival, a costume run, clowns, magicians and a post-race celebration. "It's a certified course but we want it to be a lot of fun," said Jane Kuhn, public relations director for the YWCA. - The YWCA will also hold a run ning shoe clinic and other fitness events at the race. A race fashion show on Oct. 21 at the Falls Village Golden Corral in Raleigh is also a part of the upcoming event. Proceeds from the race will go toward YWCA programs. The money is not designated for any one program," Kuhn said. "We have several programs that need funding." '. YWCA programs include after school child care, daycare that includes provisions for mentally and or physically handicapped, and a residence program for women. Also included is a program for retired elderly people and a "Fitness is for everyone" program. "We have had a good response in the past from people who like to run for a cause, Kuhn said. - The idea of the race emerged three years ago as a way to raise money for YWCA programs. Golden Corral is the largest sponsor of the event, with each of Raleigh s six Golden Corrals contributing to the race. This is the first year the race has been tied in with Halloween. Advance race registration is $8 and race day registration is $9. Both fees include a T-shirt. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers.
