Streater, who played defensive back, free safety and punter at UNC from 1 977 to 1 980, spoke Monday in a panel discussion that was part of Alcohol Awareness Week. Although his 1981 accident was not alcohol-related, Streater has toured the nation speaking to elementary, high school and college students about drinking responsibly, Students Collleeiiate Black STEPHANIE JOHNSTON Staff Writer After attending the national Con gressional Black Caucus Sept. 13-16 in Washington, delegates from the UNC Black Cultural Center (BCC) have decided to form the UNC Collegiate Black Caucus. "Our purpose is to mobilize students for this next year and to address the issues on the campus, locally, nation ally and internationally (issues perti nent to Afro-Americans)," said Ann Ards, one of the organizers of the new group. Chairmen have not yet been named. Thirteen representatives from UNC attended the caucus "A Global Crisis, Our Children At Risk." "Much of it was in commemoration of Congressman Mickey Leland," Ards said. "The congress addressed the is sues most pertinent to Afro-Americans. Students go to learn from leaders who are there. It's a grooming process so they can take leadership positions." The decision to form the UNC cau cus was a result of a challenge issued by "TIT - i -J';' Mr I X tk 1 ' Wl ..I Trowel and error Jim Senter, an N.C.

Frye said the proposed site for the SRC was the best because of its central location for all to students and its prox imity to sports medicine services. Going said the University needed the facility to make up for a lack of informal recreation space. "We don't have informal recreation facilities that people can come in and use at any hour of the day and not be in conflict with athletics or physical education pro- Jones that, if this court was serious about honor, it wouldn't raise the question," he said during a recess. "For them to defend the CIA's right to recruit with the honor code is a mockery of justice. Whether my actions fall within the parameters of the student code has no bearing on if I did the right thing." The charges brought against Jones are an example of the University's at player reflates doing abyse pernb drinking and driving and drugs. 'The real game that we're playing is life," he said. "In a sport, you can win or lose, but next week, you're going to play again. If you lose in life, you don't get to play anymore. Within eight-tenths of a second, you can be disfigured or killed in a car accident." Alcohol gives students the chance to be young adults, he said. "Some young adults want to get an education, but some want to party. The wrong crowd can get you in trouble. If you're not strong enough to say no, you don't want one beer." Bill Riddick, substance abuse coor dinator at Student Health Services, said organize UNC U.S. Congressman Ron Dellums, Ards said. "He gave a call to youth to be activist in every sense of the word," she said. "To fulfill that call we formed the group." Margo Crawford, BCC director, said the students forming the group were, very excited about their plans for the caucus. "They're really enthused and charged up," she said. 'They're very excited about getting involved with national issues. The organization will be a liai son between a number of organizations with similar missions. For example, the South African scholarship fund is inter ested in intersecting with them." Cheryl Grant, another organizer of the new group, said she hoped the or ganization would be something on a national scale. "It will be a network we as students can use to address political issues that we haven't been able to do with the Black Student Movement because it's not a national organization," she said. The UNC caucus will be part of a n ST1 . DTHS. Exum from page 1 grams. Silva also said the physical educa tion faculty had not been adequately consulted about the SRC, nor were they supplied with sufficient data about the facility. Student committee member Rob Elder voiced a concern about the lack of information supplied to students about the SRC. "I wasn't going to speak today be cause I didn't think I knew very much about the center. But from what I've heard today no one else does either." from page 1 tempts to silence dissent, he said during a recess. "These people understand what they're doing. What we're saying is counter to what they stand for. They (the University) have circumscribed the boundaries of dissent. Democracy is based on the assumption that people speak.

This goal involves helping drinkers with their problems and helping non drinkers to influence the lives of their friends, he said. "There's too much drinking on all college campuses, and I've seen a lot of college campuses during the last 20 years. "When you look at the amount of chemicals on campus, 80 percent of all students drink at least once a week. If we could solve the alcohol problem, we would solve 75 percent of the drug problem." Half of the students at UNC come Caucus network of campus groups which are focused around the collegiate national Congressional Black Caucus. The representatives at the national caucus pledged to work toward several goals, including becoming more in volved in the Afro-American commu nity, supporting Afro-American en trepreneurship, working for a multicul tural education at all levels of educa tion, exposing racism, working toward a drug-free society, increasing interna tional consciousness of the African community and working toward greater political empowerment and leadership. Ards said that although the UNC caucus might use the same rooms as the BCC, the new group would have a separate identity from the BCC and would receive campus recognition of its own. Grant said students who wanted to become involved in the UNC chapter should contact any of the members or organizers. "It's open to anyone, not just black students," she said. CAA set to begio ticket disttirofoyttioin) for basketbal By SIMONE PAM Staff Writer Basketball ticket distribution will begin in late October, and the Carolina Athletic Association (CAA) plans to run the distribution system much as it did last year, said Sean Wilkinson, CAA ticket chairman. On distribution Sundays, the first set of numbers will be distributed some time between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. to all students waiting in line. The only change this year is a guarantee that a CAA representative will give numbers to students in line by 10 a.m., he said. Students should line up at the Will Call windows at the Smith Center. After the first set of numbers are distributed, the CAA will come out at hour and a half intervals until 6 p.m., when tickets are given out. Students should be in line to trade numbers for actual tickets by 5:30 p.m. Student identification cards, athletic passes and registration cards are neces sary to obtain tickets. Numbers cards are limited to one per person, but each student may pick up two tickets if they have two sets of all the necessary infor mation. The 2,050 lower level student seats are distributed randomly to the first students in line, Wilkinson said. The 4,500 upper level seats are then given BOG appoints Stamem dean of UNC School of Dentistry By BRYAN TYSON Staff Writer The UNC Board of Governors Fri day approved the appointment of John Stamm as dean of the UNC School of Dentistry. He succeeds former dean Ben Barker, who retired Aug. 31. Stamm will take his new position on Nov. 1, replacing Ted Oldenburg, who is serving as acting dean until Oct. 31. In a released statement, Chancellor Paul Hardin applauded the appointment. "I am delighted that John Stamm will be the fifth dean of the School of Den tistry. His splendid work as a director and faculty member at Carolina since 1935 will serve him well in this new position." Dr. Stamm said in an interview Tuesday he was excited about his new position and that "improving on the University's tremendous record will be a challenge." His main goals are to increase in-state student and faculty recruitment and to continue expansion of the patient care system, he said. "The school is fundamentally one of the best institutions in the nation, but in-state students must know more about the quality it represents," Stamm said The school needs to increase its faculty recruitment efforts and keep from homes where the parents drink too much, and the students have been conditioned to accept drinking, Rid dick said. "What we're building here is a society where we'll have to go back and deal with this." A problem at UNC is that non-drinkers tend to stay away from drinkers when they may be classmates, room mates, fraternity mates or sorority mates, Riddick said. When students approach friends who have drinking problems, the first step must be to say "because I care," he said. Then the students should indicate inconsisten cies in the friend's behavior. "Have your facts in hand. The ending state Pros ramiiinicreases faculty interaction By LYNETTE BLAIR Staff Writer University Housing and the Resi dence Hall Association (RHA) will send a letter to directors, deans and department heads this week to recruit interested faculty for the Faculty Fellows Program. Faculty Fellows, a program started last year, brings faculty members into residence halls to interact with stu dents outside the classroom. In a relaxed, social setting, faculty mem bers provide both academic and non academic information and guidance. Wayne Kuncl, director of housing and residential education, asked area directors and governors to person ally invite faculty members to par ticipate. He is contacting departments to reach faculty members who have not been contacted by students. . The department has no definite target date for recruiting all of the faculty members needed for the pro gram, Kuncl said. But he stressed that positions needed to be filled as soon as possible"Being a very, very large campus, we have to find as "We wanted to make the distribution policy as easy as possible for stu dents." Sean Wilkinson, CAA ticket chairman out in order, from best to worst seating. The only game that sold out last season was the Duke game, he said. "Students who would like to go to the game can get seats, there just aren't always quality seats left." The addition of the 300 lower level student seats will improve the atmos phere in the Smith Center, Wilkinson said. "Not only do we have more seats this year, but we have better quality seats. "We wanted to make the distribution policy as easy as possible for students. People don't have to come down and get numbers Sunday morning if they don't want to." Students who do not pick up tickets on Sundays may get them from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays at the main box office of the Smith Cen ter, if tickets are available. Tickets not distributed after Tues day will be sold to the public beginning Wednesday morning. John Stamm pace with changes and new trends in the patient care system, he added. Retiring dean Ben Barker called Stamm an outstanding leader, saying he helped shape the school and the direction it has taken in the areas of teaching, research programs, expanded service to North Carolina dental practi ::h:::v:-: , ft i y - - ment has to be if I can help.'" "One of the biggest problems in the residence halls is the mentality of it: That is, that it (drinking) is the thing to do," said Julianna Cruse, assistant area director of Cobb-Henderson-Joyner. Alcohol Awareness Week is a na tional event sponsored at UNC by the Department of Housing and by Drug Education Leads to Alternatives. Ac tivities planned for the week include a Mocktail Madness program Wednes day in the Union Cabaret and Zero Proof Day Thursday, a day on which students are asked to abstain from the use of alcohol and drugs for 24 hours. many ways as possible to bring fac ulty and students together to make Carolina a little bit smaller." Faculty members are assigned to one of the 10 residential areas on campus. The governing body of each area decides when and where faculty members will meet with students. Faculty members meet with dorms individually or with the entire area. The program was not successful in all areas last year Granville, Craige and Morrison are not par ticipating this year . but Kuncl said the program was so successful in other areas students asked the same faculty members to return this year. Ken Mayt who was a faculty fel low in Hinton James, said he enjoyed his experience and would probably return this year if asked "The main thing about the pro gram is that it allowed students and faculty to get together We talked on a variety of topics, whether it was student life or politics," May said, "It let the students see that we're real people." Wilkinson said the number policy has worked well so far. "People seem to like the policy better, and it prevents other people from jumping in line." But some students said they found the system difficult to understand. Heather Chessman, a junior from Cary, said she waited all night for tickets for the N.C. State University game. "The system was real confusing. I didn't know until I got down there I had to come back again." But Jack Archey, a sophomore from Reading, Pa., said the existing system is an improvement on past distribution policies. "In the past it seems as if everyone has had a complaint about something within the policy, but the current one has had the fewest prob lems so far," he said "In any system you have, there will be people who aren't satisfied, but I think this system satisfies a substantial amount of people." tioners and patient care. William Proffit, chairman of the Department of Orthodontics, described Stamm as highly capable but said it was too early to speculate on his possible impact on the school. Stamm was selected as the new dean by a committee composed of faculty members, with Dr. Ernest Schoenfeld, associate dean of the School of Public Health, serving as chairman. Stamm received his D.D.S. degree from the University of Alberta and D.D.P.H. and M.Sc.D. degrees in epi demiology and biometrics from the University of Toronto. For 14 years he was professor and chairman of com munity dentistry in the dental school at McGill University in Montreal. In January of 1985, Stamm became assistant dean of research and graduate studies and director of the Dental Re search Center at the UNC, where he has been employed for the past five years. His professional activities include serv ing as president of the Canadian Soci ety of Public Health Dentists from 1 979 1981 and chief examiner for dental public health and examiner-in-chief for the Royal College of Dentists in Canada.
