Despite complaints from many
students about the quality of pre
registration advising, a significant
amount of training and effort goes
into providing students with the best
academic advice possible, officials
said Thursday.
The training of advisers, new and
experienced, is something UNC takes
seriously, according to Donald Jicha,
associate dean of the General College,
and Richard Cramer, associate dean

A woman raped last Friday on
Finley Golf Course after Burnout was
a UNC student and did not know her
attacker, Chapel Hill and University
police said Thursday.
Chapel Hill Police Capt. Ralph
Pendergraph said the victim
approached a town police officer who
was working at Burnout and told him
she had been raped. The attack was
originally reported to the press as an
assault, not a rape.
; The officer working at Burnout
called a Police Department rape
investigator who arrived on the scene
with a police social worker, Pender
graph said. The woman told the
officers the rape occurred around 7
p.m. on Finley Golf Course, which
is behind the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity
housex, where Burnout is held.

General College advisers are nor

instead of advising, they first work
with Jicha and his associates to
become familiar with registration
procedures such as drop-add. The
orientation continues into the fall,
Jicha said.

The case was turned over to
University police because Finley Golf
Course is University property, said
Sgt. Ned Comar, a spokesman for
the University police. The four
fraternity houses and the road are the
responsibility of the Chapel Hill
Police Department, he said.
The two police forces usually divide
their jurisdiction this way, Pender
graph said. "As far as this incident
is concerned, this is normal procedure
between Chapel Hill Police and the
University."
But the woman was taken to the
hospital before University police
investigators could talk to her, and
she has not filed a report with them.
University police cannot investigate
unless the victim reports the attack
directly to them, Comar said.
University police have second

tant for freshmen and sophomores."
One problem is transmitting aca
demic information so that advisers
can tell students, Jicha said. Last year,
UNC created an undergraduate
majors manual, which provides an
accurate, updated record of the
undergraduate program for students
and advisers each year.
Jicha said he was generally satisfied
with the advising program at UNC.
"We take about every avenue we can
under our resources to provide a
quality advising system for students."

that she was assaulted, Comar said.
"The University police do not have
a rape case at this time. What we have
a report on is a woman who told us
she was pushed and kissed."
Assault is a general term for violent
attacks that was used in the blind
report filed by the Chapel Hill Police
Department after the incident.
Because the victim did not file a
report, police could only give a
general summary of the incident,
Pendergraph said.
"Assault is a fairly broad term we
use in a report prior to the official
investigation," Chapel Hill Police
Chief Arnold Gold said.
Comar said rape could be consi
dered sexual assault, but a report of
sexual assault does not always imply
a rape. "There are a lot of ways to
handle a sex matter without a penis
entering a vagina. Unless it boils
down to something like that, I don't
think it could be called rape."

But King's great stature should not
obscure his faults, she said. "And
perhaps some people seeking to
understand the meaning of Dr. King,
perhaps some of them forget he was
not . a god, because he longed so
deeply and he labored so hard to be
good."
King's personal life and character
were not exemplary, Jordan said. "He
made big mistakes. He was not a
wonderful administrator. He did not
abstain from whiskey, tobacco or sex.

Students at UNC will focus on
racial issues next week when
RACIAL, Students for the Advance
ment of Race Relations (SARR) and
several other organizations kick off
the first Race Relations Week
Monday.
The week will consist of seminars,
parties and various forums on the
subject of race relations. Lectures by
Julian Bond, former Georgia state
senator, and Valerie Batts, founder
of the Black Student Movement at
UNC, will highlight the week.
Students involved with the pro
gram said they had strong feelings
about the issue of race relations and
its importance on this campus.
"The issue of racism on the UNC
campus has been a primary concern
of administration, faculty and stu
dents," said freshman Lisa Abbott,
publicity director for the week. "A
lack of communication between black
and white students creates and
increases prejudice. It is perpetuated

When students do not interact well
with their adviser, changes are made
at the end of the year to accommodate
students, he said. Part of the problem
is that 50 or 60 percent of students
change their majors, and when that
happens efforts are made to match
students with an adviser close 10 that
field or discipline, he said.
For the most part, students make
use of their advisers, Jicha said.

great regularity and Some only come
during preregistration. But many

"He did like him a little sugar in

King's feelings about women
showed in the way he ignored the
women of the civil rights movement,
Jordan said. "One can find scant
indication that Dr. King recognized
the indispensable work of black
women within the civil rights move
ment." She said people should not
try to emulate this attitude.
King contributed to the invisibility
of women in the civil rights move
ment, damaging the movement and
women's causes, Jordan said. "The
invisibility of women has furthermore
caused women incalculable harm and
sorrow.
At the end of Wednesday night's
meeting, Lewis requested that candi

student life, housing, student organ

"A coalition of student groups is
striving to overcome the communi
cation barrier by organizing the first
Race Relations Week. This week will
focus not on the negative effects of
racism, but on the positive benefits
of the open expression of thoughts,
attitudes and cultures."
Some of the students said even
though they realized they couldn't
reach every student on campus, the
existence of such a week would
change things.
"There's been a lot of talk about
the negative aspects of race relations
on this campus," said junior Lee
Latimer, coordinator for the week
and co-chairwoman for SARR.
"People who work with race relations
know that there is a lot of prejudice
here. We realize that it's hard for
black students to attend school here,
but we want to do something that
will promote good race relations
not focus on the negative aspects."

students know what direction their
college career is taking and don't need
that much assistance, while some who
need help put it off until the bitter
end."
Advisers in the College of Arts and

to observe experienced advisers, and
are given a manual, Cramer said.

But King was unequalled as leader
in the fight for social and economic
justice, Jordan said. "Did he not
develop a deep desire for justice as
the fundament of every human's life?
Was he not a prophet and a revo
lutionary against an economic class
system consecrated to materialism?"
Although King was not the only
force behind the civil rights move
ment, he was a powerful leader, she
said. "He did not single-handedly

or these indomitable movements that

Mark Bibbs said that action would
have gone against the Student Code,
which requires that approval of such
appointments be made before a
regularly scheduled meeting of the
congress, which is to be held every
two weeks. Davis set the next con
gress meeting for April 19.
Latimer said the administration,
including Chancellor Paul Hardin,
had voiced support for the week.
"We have spoken to Vice Chan
cellor (of University Affairs Harold)
Wallace as well, and we hope to
establish a coalition of administration
and students who will deal with the
issue of race relations," said Chris
Mumford, coordinator for the week
and chairman of RACIAL. "I don't
want to see the issue die out once
we leave. I want to get freshmen
involved each year and keep the
administration active."
The week will feature evening
workshops for faculty members and
students and an evening of entertain
ment featuring student groups.
The forums should help open the
eyes of students who are apathetic to
the problem, Latimer said.
"When I was a freshman here,' I
didn't know about any overt racial
problems. I wouldn't say I was totally
ignorant, but I didn't know how to

All of the advisers know the
general, basic rules, but each case is
unique: None of the advisers can see
all of the possibilities, Cramer said.

toil and tumult?"
By the time King was assassinated
in 1968, his drive for economic and
social justice had taken hold, Jordan
said. "He had already begun an
astonishing mobilization of ... poor
black, white and Latino-Americans
who had nothing to lose."

current issues to follow in King's
footsteps, she said. "In our own great
