riirmijiiriiMiiw The Daily Tar HeelMonday, February 13, 19895 Campos By BILL YARDLEY Staff Writer Vandals who deface or tear down campaign posters are costing candi dates in this year's campus elections time, money and visibility, many candidates said. "I can't point the finger at anyone, but people are going out of their way .to remove posters in hard-to-reach : places," said Danny Rosin, senior class president candidate. Other candidates said they also had problems with posters being torn , down, drawn upon or replaced with other posters. "1 have very few posters left," said ; Kevin Sisson, candidate for student ' body president. "About 95 percent of ' What was originally 1,000 posters are gone." ' Rosin and his running mate, vice president candidate Bryan Brayboy, said they feel they have had unusual 'difficulty with vandalism of their candidates plagued; by VaumdaDism of posters posters. "You look where they (the posters) were and you don't see them, but you still see your opponents' posters and it makes you wonder," Rosin said. "Our campaign workers are frus trated, since their hard work has been obliterated," he said. "About 400 of 600 posters have been torn down." Elections board officials stressed campaign etiquette at a recent can didates' meeting. Rosin said. "I think that after the meeting the other night things have been better," he said. Though many candidates were disturbed that their posters have been taken down or vandalized, some have had less trouble than others. Trey Loughran, student body president candidate, said he was hot worried about losing some of his posters. "I knew it would happen from last year, so IVe tried to keep them in the right places. "I don't think IVe had any more trouble than anyone, else, and I don't attribute it to any other candidates." Loughran said he has saved posters to put up later in the campaign because he knew he would lose many early on, and he has also distributed pamphlets in residence halls as an alternative to posters. Lisa Frye, candidate for Carolina Athletic Association president, also said she saved extra posters because she expected the vandalism. - "I have more posters because I knew it would happen, but it's sad we have to do that," Frye said. Frye said she thought it was strange that both she and one of her oppo nents, Suzie Saldi, had posters removed from the same locations in DeyHall. "It doesn't seem to be anything specifically aimed at me," Frye said. "I don't think there is any anti-Lisa campaign going on. "There's really nothing we can do about it. I guess the reason I'm not upset is I sort of expected it." . Some candidates feel people are making extra efforts to damage posters in classrooms, not residence halls, said Wilborn Roberson, Elec tions Board chairman. "Everything gets torn down in the dorms on the weekends," Roberson said. "But in the classrooms, someone is making an extra effort at night." Roberson said he will contact student patrol officers to see about patrolling classrooms more closely at night. Removing or defacing posters is an Honor Code violation, Roberson said, and violators will be brought before the Honor Court if caught. Vandalism to posters should be reported to the University police or the Elections Board, Roberson said. Last week's meeting with all the candidates will probably cut down on the vandalism, he said. Posters hung in dormitories must be marked with a stamp from the area director, and may be; hung only on bulletin boards or the doors of student supporters, said Residence Hall Association President Jimmy Randolph. Some area directors are stricter than others about approving cam paign posters and confining them to designated areas, Randolph said. Many, but not all, area directors make exceptions during the election, he said. Jim Weaver, area director of Henderson Residence College, said, "We had concerns with the numbers of posters that were going up in the dorms, so we have had to take down some of the posters of overzealous campaigners." Posters taken down in the resi dence halls by resident assistants or area directors should be returned to the Elections Board, which will return them to the candidates. Educating students about cornxdomni use By BRENDA CAMPBELL Staff Writer As part of National Condom Week, the health education depart ment of Student Health Service and student volunteers will work today and Tuesday to promote a safer environment for students who are sexually active. UNC has participated in educating students during National Condom Week since 1986. This year, students will be in the - Pit today and Tuesday giving out information provided by the health ' ' education department and selling T- shirts . "The purpose of the week is to increase the number of people who use condoms correctly and consis tently," said Devetta Holman, assist ant director of health education. "We need to help educate users of condoms and educate those people who do not use condoms on their correct use," she said. Information about AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, men's health issues and safe sex will be available at the table in the Pit, Holman said. "These information pamphlets are provided by health education," she said. "This information is available to students at any time during the year. This is just one point during the year where these issues receive full attention." T-shirts, key chains, mugs, bumper stickers and condoms will be sold at the table as well, said Ron Malin, student organizer of National Con dom Week. The T-shirts promote condoms as a funny, cool product, Malin said. Holman said, "The products add a sense of humor into the discussion of the issues, but they do not minimize the issues. It gives the discussion a lightness that is less offensive to those people who are sexually active.' Many of the activities for National Condom Week have been planned by students because of a work overload in the health education department, Malin said. The administration in the health education department has acted as a guide for the students, Holman said. "It has not been the administration that has done the organizing, but students," Holman said. "We are here to help students help others become better educated on safe sex." Friends of Library sponsor Southern folklore lecture From staff reports Mike Casey of UNC's Southern Folklife Collection will give a free, public lecture on "Music to Our Ears: The Southern Folklife Col lection" at 5:30 p.m. on March 7 in the assembly room of Wilson Library. The talk is sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Casey will explain what the Southern Folklife Collection is, how the collection of sound recordings and printed materials came to UNC and how the mate rials in the collection are used by researchers. The presentation will include recordings and stories from the collection. . " Lobbyist to speak at forum Elanor Smeal, a national advo cate for women's rights, will discuss "Abortion Rights in the 1990s" during a free, public UNC University Briefs Women's Forum Feb. 23. The talk will begin at 7:30 p.m. in 100 Hamilton Hall. Smeal is founder and president of the Fund for the Feminist Majority and is a past president of the National Organization for Women. As NOW president, Smeal led the National March for Women's Lives in Washington. She also organized seven other marches and worked to defeat four statewide anti-abortion referendums. Smeal was featured by U.S. News and World Report as one of the six most influential lobbyists and has appeared on network news programs including the "Today Show," "Good Morning America" and "Crossfire." Honor a professor for good teaching By SARAH CAGLE , .Staff Writer t - Students and faculty members will .,'be able to nominate professors for he 1989 Tanner and Nicolas Salgo a. -Awards for excellence in undergrad uate teaching until Feb. 21. ,.; The $2,000 awards honor full-time ...professors at UNC who demonstrate classroom effectiveness, contribute to .-students' intellectual development, vand inspire and motivate students at the undergraduate level, said Dixie Spiegel, chairwoman of the Commit tee on Distinguished Teaching Awards. "There's always a trade-off between , teaching and research, and the awards are a public recognition that teaching is, a worthwhile thing. to do," said K ,eter Bearman, assistant professor of ..sociology and 1988 Tanner Award recipient. Five Tanner Awards will be given this year to professors who influence freshmen and sophomores, and one Nicolas Salgo Award will be given to a professor who works with juniors and seniors. Both awards come from private endowments to the University. "We want to identify the people that the students feel are doing the best job for them," Spiegel said. An important part of the nomina tion is a paragraph supporting the professor. Nomination forms that only contain the professor's name will not be given much consideration, Spiegel said. "It isn't simply a popularity con test," she said. The Committee on Distinguished Teaching Awards, which consists of six faculty members and six students, will review the nomination forms and make recommendations to Chancel lor Paul Hardin, who will make the final decisions. Students can pick up nomination forms at the Student Union, the Campus Y, and the Health Sciences, Undergraduate and Davis libraries. Completed forms can be returned to one of these locations or can be sent through campus mail, Spiegel said. The award recipients will be announced at the April meeting of the general faculty, Spiegel said. n urn for a beautiful BatloonBouquct FLVJHG COLORS 933-4009 o It's Almost Here! d Pick up some flowers for your sweetheart at one of our stores! ir S Valentine Hours MonTues: li Doumtoum 95:30 Mall 109 University Mall 1 24 E.
