The North Carolina Fellows
Leadership Development program
Will be sending information and an
invitation to apply to the program
to every freshman in January.
The Fellows program is a four-year
leadership development program
designed to improve students lead
ership potential, said Cynthia Wolf,
director of the Fellows program and
UNC leadership development.
"The program is highly selective,"
she said. "We choose 20 freshmen to
participate in the program through
their four years here at Carolina. The
program is designed to enhance a
student's leadership and potential."

Foundation due" to a program spon
sored by the Senior Class Philan
thropy Committee.
The committee plans to institute a
program in which fraternities, soror
ities, Triangle businesses and others
can pledge a certain amount of money
for each student vote. The. money will
be donated to the Make-A-Wish
; Foundation of Eastern North
Carolina.
The. foundation is a volunteer
organization, with 64 chapters
nationwide, designed to fulfill the
wishes of children with life
threatening illnesses. The eastern
North Carolina chapter is located in
Raleigh and was incorporated one
year ago.
John Haydock, co-chairman of the
Senior Class Philanthropy Commit
tee, said the committee organized the
program to make money for the
foundation.

It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few
short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the

On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps
keep you awake and mentally alert for hours. Safely and conveniently. So

styles.
Once accepted to the program,
freshmen spend their spring semester
analyzing their leadership style and
how they work with others. The
sophomore year includes a three
credit seminar which focuses on
theories and philosophies of leader
ship, Wolf said.
The junior year includes a retreat
which focuses on values and how
these values impact a leader's work.
The senior year is spent discussing
transition and change, specifically the
transition to the workplace, she said.
The program also requires the
larger scale," he" said. "We decided
to take something already in progress
and tied the two together."
Because students will be raising
money for charity, the program will
give the community a positive view
of UNC students, he said.
The program is not designed to
affect voter turnout, Haydock said,
but will serve as an extra reminder
to students who are familiar with the
issues. "This will do a whole lot of
good with no harm."
Haydock said he hopes the pub
licity for the program will help to
bring out issues and "make the
election a bigger deal." .
Committee members have not
taken any pledges yet, but have met
with representatives from area busi
nesses to get an idea of how much
support there is, he said.
Senior Class President Steve
Tepper said he anticipates the pro
gram should raise a significant
amount of money for the foundation,
and that the program could be aa
annual charity fund-raiser.
"This is a creative way to build up
excitement around election time and
a great way to serve charity," he said.
academics come first at a university
such as UNC.
"If a young guy has to miss a
practice to take a test, then he takes
the test," Brown said. "If our guys
want to make good grades, they can
do it. The guys tend to do better in
the fall anyway. In the fall, they have
to structure their, time."
Basketball coach Dean Smith said
the athletes usually do as well as they
are expected to do.
"In the last 10 years, every one of
our players have graduated on timer
except four," Smith said. "Those four
just didn't graduate in four years. We
try very hard to treat our athletes like
any other student. We insist they
begin in a study hall until they have
proven they can do college work."
Senior basketball guard Jeff Lebo

needs it.

of the classroom, Wolf said, because
each student is required to hold one
full-time internship during the
summer.
"We hold monthly dinners where
community leaders come and talk
about their particular professions,"
Wolf said. "The fellows are also
eligible to go on the exchange retreat
with the fellows from N.C. State
(University) and Davidson
(College)."
The application process includes a
number of interviews for those
students reaching the final stage of
selection, Wolf said.

applications each year, the committee

Unnecessary animal experimenta
tion and research is part of the
medical training program at UNC, a
physician and animal rights activist
said Wednesday.
"I see the animal rights issue as
focused between the use of animals
in research vs. education," said
Thomas Giduz, a Durham physician
and member of People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals. "There is so
much money used for animal research
that could be much better spent in
clinical and epidemiological studies,
which are so much more effective, and
there is no use for animals in training
medical students."
Heart disease, cancer and strokes
are the three major causes of death
in the United States, and they have
time constraints are concerned,"
Lebo said. "We spend four to five
hours per day on athletics in season,
but we learn to budget our time.
"I think I could do better if I had
more time, but I do well. You have
to keep it pretty structured."
One of the reasons athletes at UNC
are doing well academically is the
Student Athlete Development Cen
ter. The center has existed fqr almost
20 years, but it has increased its
resources in the past two years, said
the director of athletic academic
affairs.
"We counsel athletes academically
and refer them to the appropriate
University sources," John Blanchard
said. "We have computer labs,
language labs, study rooms, struc
tured study halls .... We see at least
300 students a week out of 600. The
athletes here take advantage of what
chooses 70 studerits to participate in
preliminary interviews. From the
preliminary applications the number
of students is cut to 40 finalists, Wolf
said.
Those 40 finalists participate in a
full day of interviews, conducted by
administrative leaders of the Univer
sity, local community leaders, alumni
of the program and current fellows,
she said.
The final decision comes directly
from the evaluations filled out by the
interviewers, Wolf said. "We look for
students with motivation to lead and
serve others, intelligence and aware
ness of what is going on in the world
around us and a student who has
commitment to oneself and is willing
to learn."

Because the foundation is run by
volunteers, all money donated goes
to "fulfilling children's wishes,"
Donnelly said.
been found to be largely preventable
and caused by lifestyle mostly
through epidemiological and clinical
research, not animal research, he said.
"Millions of dollars are spent on
animal research and most of these
other methods have been terribly
overlooked," he said. "So much
money could be better spent."
But some UNC faculty members
disagree. Basic research, which
includes animal research, is needed
to fill gaps in medical technology, said
William Huffines, associate dean of
pathology.
The public is not always aware of
the need for this research, said
Michela Gallagher, associate profes
sor of psychology.
"One misconception is that we
know a whole lot less than the public
we offer them."
Duke University also offers tutor
ing services for its athletes, but
officials say their athletes are more
academically inclined than athletes at
other schools.
"Of course the admissions stand
ards are universally lowered for
basketball and football players for
NCAA Division I schools, so those
athletes are the least likely to suc
ceed," said Chris Kennedy, assistant
athletic director at Duke. "Our
student, athletes are required to do , ;
more studying because of the partic
ular pressures at Duke. We graduate
92 percent of all our recruited student
athletes in four years."
Steve Spurrier, Duke football
coach, said his team has won a
national graduation award three
times in the past several years.
"WeVe graduated over 90 percent
of our players," Spurrier said. "Most
state universities have 50 percent of
their players coming from lower
income families, which has a lot to
do with how they do academically.
Most of our kids come from pretty
good homes middle-class
families."

Only 19 percent of the schools

"Mostly practicing in the operating
room can be used instead of operating
on dogs," he said.

thousands of people to treat heart

Student athletes, especially those in
revenue-producing sports, feel iso
lated from other students at times,
Rossi said.
But UNC tries not to isolate its
athletes from the rest of the student
body, Smith said.
"We try to keep our players
integrated with other students," he
said. "It's hard for them to take on
leadership roles outside of the team
because of the time constraints." I
The players do feel isolated some
times, but they know it could be worse
if they were living in an athletic dorm.
"Sometimes I feel isolated ....
People would be more willing to talk
to you if you weren't a basketball
player or something," said Steve
Bucknall, a senior forward. "You feel
more isolated as a freshman and
sophomore; you become more com
fortable because people on campus
know we're just regular people.
"I don't see myself as a leader on
campus but as a representative of

Larry Whiteside, a junior football
defensive back, agreed.
"I dont feel like I'm a leader," he
