A new head has been chosen for
the Office of Student Counseling, an
office responsible for minority coun
seling and academic concerns that has
lacked an official associate dean since
January 1988.
Rosalind Fuse-Hall, a graduate of
UNC and of Rutgers University law
school, was selected by a search
committee consisting of faculty, staff
and students. She replaces Hayden
Renwick, who resigned to become
assistant to the chancellor at Fayette
ville State University.
Fuse-Hall, who held a comparable
position at St. Lawrence College in
New York, was selected in December
and accepted the position in January.
She will assume responsibilities of
associate dean on June 15.
University officials proposed con
solidating the Office of Student
Counseling with other campus sup
port groups last year, a move that
students felt would have eliminated
the position.
The administration decided not to

Student Body President-elect Brien
Lewis announced his choices for
student body treasurer, secretary and
the new position of student body vice
president Tuesday night.
If approved by the new Student
Congress, the nominees will take
office in early Aprib Lewis said. "I'm
pretty confident the congress will see
these people as superbly qualified."
' Joe Andronaco, a junior from
Ocala, Fla.. has been nominated to
serve as the first student body vice
president. "1 think the position of v ice
president is very important. Partic
ularly this year, since it's new."
Andronaco is a presidential aide to
Student Body President Kevin Mar
tin and also served as an aide to 1987
88 Student Body President Brian
Bailey.
One responsibility Andronaco said
he considered especially important is
appointing well-informed students to
Chancellor's Committees. "It's not

consolidate the offices after vocal
protest from members of the Black
Student Movement (BSM).
Gillian Cell, dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, said there had
been no changes in the office or the
position. "She (Fuse-Hall) will work
directly with me. As far as I know,
the BSM is pleased with the selection
of Fuse-Hall."
Cell said she appointed Fuse-Hall
to the position after receiving a
recommendation from the search
committee.
Fuse-Hall was chosen because of
her knowledge of the University and
her past experience in similar posi
tions, Cell said.
Tonya Blanks, BSM vice president
and a member of the search commit
tee, said Fuse-Hall was a wonderful
person.
"She not only has a background
at UNC-CH, but also elsewhere. I
think the students will be pleased."
Blanks said the voicing of student
concerns last year helped in the
selection process, because students
who were knowledgeable about the
ellect iraaunnies'pocik

just go to meetings. I want to be sure
that we .are active in the decisions as
well as reactive."
Carol Hooks, a junior from Lynch
burg, Va., has been nominated to
serve as student body treasurer. She
worked this year as assistant to
Student Body Treasurer Felicia
Mebane,- with special responsibilities
for Executive Branch operations and
computerizing the budget process.
"1 think we (Hooks and Mebane)
worked hard to make the office more
efficient," Hooks said. "I want to
continue to do that to make the
office even more efficient."
Nicole Compton, a junior from
Charlotte, will serve as student body
secretary if the nomination is
approved. "I hope to, at the end, have
some kind of record of what has gone
on up here for future reference and
for the next student body secretary
to have."

search committee.
Former BSM President Kenneth
Perry also said he approved of Fuse
Hall's selection. Perry, who played a
large role in leading protests of the
administration's proposal last year,
said he was pleased the office would
remain as it is. But he said, "I would
still like to see the office grow."
Donella Croslan, the assistant dean
of the General College who works in
the office, said, "I feel confident that
Fuse-Hall is going to be a dynamic
and challenging person for minority
students to get to know.
"She will demand a lot in terms
of achievement and involvement and
will work extremely hard to make
sure minority students feel involved."
Croslan said the BSM's protests
last spring indicated to UNC admin
istrators the importance of the
position to many minority students,
and their opinions were probably
considered during the selection
process.

branches of student government
chose candidates from applications
and interviews, and Lewis chose
nominees from names the committee
gave him.
Lewis said all the applicants for the
positions were highly qualified. "It
didn't make my decisions any easier.
I'm certainly happy with them."
Voters approved the new position
of vice president in the Feb. 21
election. Student Body President
Kevin Martin, who helped create the
position, said he was pleased with
Lewis' choice.
"IVe had the pleasure of working
with Joe for two years. I have total
faith in what hell be able to do in
the position."
The position will allow student
government to represent students
more efficiently, Martin said. "You're
often called to be in two places at
one time. You have to choose where
you're going to represent students,
and that shouldn't have to be."

Eleven Duke University students
were arrested earlier this month for
making 44 false Florida driver's
licenses, a Durham police officer said.
The students took pictures of
minors and pasted them over the
photographs on legitimate Florida
driver's licenses, said Stephen
O'Brien, chief of Durham County
ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control)
police. Then they photographed the
doctored documents and had the
photographs laminated.

When Liz Jackson's father apolo
gized at the end of a telephone
interview for not being able to say
anything more glamorous about his
daughter, he stumbled on those
qualities that make her exceptional.
Friends and family say a dedication
to her work, a desire to help others
and a friendly, caring style are the
attributes that have helped Jackson,
a junior biology major from Atlanta,
continue a successful Residence Hall
Association (RHA) career as RHA
president-elect.
Those who know her best say
Jackson has always devoted herself
wholeheartedly to her activities
without over-committing herself.
'I think she has been fairly focused
on things she thought were impor
tant," said Jackson's father, Will
Jackson.
"She was not somebody who was

Youths have the power in their
hands to bring down the injustice
of many of the laws that affect
Native Americans, Pat Riddick,
chief of the Meherrin Tribe of
North Carolina, said in Gardner
Hall Tuesday.
Riddick spoke in front of an
audience of about 32 people in a
lecture and question-and-answer
session as part of Native American
Culture Week, sponsored by the
Carolina Indian Circle.
Many of the problems facing
Meherrin Indians are legal in
nature, Riddick said. "When you
seek recognition by the state as an
Indian tribe, you must meet certain
legal criteria that the state has
made. We were not legally allowed
to attend public schools, vote, and
we had to hold church on our own
grounds.
"Due to existing laws, a part of
our past has been totally pulled off
the books. Only through oral
history and our own documents
have we been able to pull together
our past."
Native Americans should be
allowed to make their own criteria
for who and what an Indian is,
Riddick said. "Many want to define
what and who an Indian is. No law
or piece of legislation can deter
mine who we are."
Meherrins were late in seeking
recognition, and they received it in
July 1986. "One of the advantages
that other tribes have had over the"
Meherrin is starting early," Riddick
said.
"Although we have had some
Indian legislators in the General
Assembly, they have felt that it was
easier to say they were black or
white. Many people who are going
into that arena don't recognize
themselves as Indian."
.Other .than recognition, Meher
rins face problems in retaining their
youth, gaining back some of their
land and saving their culture,
Riddick said. "We realize that our
youth are leaving every day, and
we are making efforts to keep them
and make them proud of our
culture. Ever since my grand
mother sat me on her knee and
began to tell me about our past,
it started a magic in me. I soaked
it in. It was like a sponge."
Riddick, who served in Vietnam,
said he felt it ironic that a govern
ment that didn't recognize him for
what he was would send him to
fight its wars. "I did have a problem
photo processing center with the fake
driver's licenses.
"We just happened to receive a tip
that they were at a photo place having
them copied," O'Brien said.
The others were arrested March 22
and 23, he said.
This case is noteworthy because of
the number of licenses involved,
O'Brien said. "It's the largest number
we've ever confiscated at any one
time."
Even though 37 students in the area
have been caught using false identi
fication this school year, none were
charged with fabricating false licenses
until now.
New student leaders
high school years. "But she didn't
mind getting her hands dirty and
getting involved." -
Jackson' studied ballet for 12 years
before coming to UNC, practiced five
days a week during high school and
was also on her school's gymnastics
team, her father said. Winning the
team's most improved player award
for four or five years in a row shows
how determined she was to catch up
with the rest of the team members,
he said. "She has always stuck with
things and is very goal-oriented."
Jackson's boyfriend of two years,
Hardin Watkins, a graduate student
from Hendersonville, was Morrison
Residence Hall governor when she
became a floor president there as a
freshman. He said Jackson's dedica
tion has also shown itself in RHA
work and volunteer work.
"We had weekly (residence hall
government) meetings, and she would

with it. The biggest problem was
with the government, of course.
But I had other problems as well.
As an Indian in Vietnam, everyone,
has an idea of what an Indian
should be like. There were different
groups that opposed me for their
own reasons.
"Whites didnt want to be with
me at all, blacks and Puerto Ricans
thought that I should be with them.
Nobody wanted to recognize me
for being an Indian.
"You have to realize that it just
wasn't and still isn't popular to be
recognized as an Indian. I have
relatives who had . to go into
swamps and hide because of their
heritage. I think many young
people still have this problem. They
have white and black friends and
"It's unusual in that it's the first
case this year that they were really
making them," O'Brien said.
The students were charged with
photographing or otherwise repro
ducing a driver's license. It could not
be proved money was being
exchanged for the licenses, which
would have resulted in a more
stringent punishment for those
involved.
The students were making the
licenses for their fellow Pegram
dormitory residents, O'Brien said.
Those charged with the crime would
not comment on the exact circum
stances of the arrest.
do the things that were asked for,
usually in the same day, and then do
things that weren't asked for that
would take a lot of initiative."
Jackson also became deeply
involved in volunteer wojk, Watkins
said. "That's real important to her
and pretty much consumed all her
time."
Jackson, who said she was consid
ering a career in physical therapy, has
done extensive physical therapy
volunteer work on campus, at North
Carolina Memorial Hospital and in
Georgia. She was a student trainer
for the men's lacrosse and women's
field hockey teams last year.
But Jackson always makes sure she
has enough time to do a job well
before she tackles it, Watkins said.
She was cautious about running for
Morrison governor at the end of her
sophomore year "because she wanted
to make sure she could take on
something she could do well."
Once Jackson has a goal, she works

their Indian-ness."
Students said they learned a lot
from,,the lecture ..and, planned to.
attend the week's festivities. "I
didn't know that some Indians did
not want to be recognized for what
they were," said Jes Savas, a
freshman from Charlotte. "They
want equal treatment and want to
be well-known. To me, this is a
double standard."
Annette Fields, a freshman from
Lumberton and a member of the
Carolina Indian Circle, said that
Indian pride wasn't the only prob
lem. "We definitely have a problem
with 'alpha-Indians and 'wan
nabes' and are trying to reach out

ome students in the dormitory
decided to make the licenses for
themselves and their friends, said
Stuart Nevins, a freshman political
science major from Nashville and a
Pegram resident. "They decided that
it would be a good idea to do."
The students will probably face a
judicial board or administration
hearing at Duke after the criminal
charges are taken to court in Durham,
said Susan Wasiolek, dean of student
life.
A similar incident occurred at
Duke in the fall of the 1986-87 school
