The award praises the author for her "extraordinary achievement in the fields of literature and learning." Betts received the award as she delivered a lecture on Willa Cather and Eudora Welty to the Friends of the Library at Salem College. Her lecture was part of weekend events commemorating the establishment of a Center for Southern Women Writers at the college. Besides the award citation, Betts received a woodcut embossing based on an engraving of the Roman al phabet. Outstanding chapter lauded The UNC chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists has been named outstanding campus chapter in its region for the second consecu tive year. The region comprises North Caro lina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Maryland and Delaware. The award is based on the quality of chapter programs and activity and on the involvement of members. The UNC chapter, established in the 1950s, virtually disbanded in 1987. By spring 1988, however, it had grown to 41 members and was named a campus chapter. Chapter members were honored for their accomplishments at the society's annual convention Oct. 19 21 in Houston. By CHRIS HELMS Staff Writer The CIA Action Committee (CIAAC) will protest the presence of CIA recruiters in Hanes Hall today with a "funeral march" from the Pit, past Hanes and on to South Building. The march will begin at noon in the Pit, according to CIAAC member Joey Templeton, a senior from Gastonia. "It'll be real somber, more like a vigil." The protest will include CIAAC speakers and distribution of fact sheets, said Templeton. The protesters have no plans to enter any of the buildings, said Templeton. "It's going to be a peaceful demon stration," said CIAAC member Charla Campbell, a junior from Jamestown. Six CIAAC members were arrested in October T 987 after chaining them selves to furniture in Hanes on a day CIA recruiters were interviewing. Ar rests also resulted for eight CIAAC members in April 1988 at Hanes. The group also made news in Febru ary 1988 when members surprised a CIA recruiter at the University Motor Inn and followed him out of town when he canceled his interviews. The Board of Trustees condemned the group for this incident, calling their acts "vio lent" and "terrorist." Casmmo might, chanty ba to benefit Cancer Society The April 1988 incident led to Stu dent Court convictions for seven of those arrested. The most recent convic tion was of graduate student Dale McKinley, who received a sanction of definite probation from the court last month. He is in the midst of an appeal. Today's march ends a week of activ ity by the CIAAC. "When the CIA comes on campus, we do a series of things, not just one reaction," McKin ley said. "We try to do things differently every time." Last Monday, CIAAC member Jerry Jones climbed the WCHL broadcast tower and stayed for more than six hours. Chapel Hill Police arrested Jones when he came down, charging him with trespassing and damage to real property. On Friday, the group staged a mock debate in the Pit between Campbell and senior Graham Entwistle, a CIAAC member from Charlotte. The CIA had previously declined an invitation by the CIAAC to debate foreign policy and the limits of CIA power. Asked if his recent conviction by the, Graduate Student Court would change the nature of CIAAC protests, McKin ley said: "It's created an atmosphere where people might be less likely to protest. "We hope we'll continue to have an effect on the administration." By CATHY APGAR Staff Writer UNC students will get a chance to be high rollers and fight cancer at the same time when "Las Vegas Comes to Caro lina" on Nov. 16. The event is in conjunction with the Great American Smokeout, said Si Yon Yu, organizer of the event. Proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society to be used for cancer research. The charity ball, which is being sponsored by Olde Campus, will be held in Great Hall in the Student Union. Proceeds will come mostly from the sale of tickets, Yu said. About 400 tickets are available for $5 each, so the donation should be about $2000. "It will be an educational event as well as an entertaining one," she said. "While publicizing the event, we're also publicizing the harmful effects of smoking." Clare Aselin, a resource person for the event, said the ball will be a monu mental event. It has much to offer be cause it is a semi-formal event which offers gambling, dancing and even a dance show, she said.. Yu, a resident assistant in Manly Residence Hall, said the idea to have a charity ball came from Hinton James' Casino Night. She wanted to do some thing similar for the residents on her hall, and the idea escalated into "Las Vegas Comes to Carolina." Students and Orange County resi dents are invited to the event, which will feature casino games such as black jack, craps and roulette. The games will be played with play money, which will be distributed at the door, Yu said. Olde Campus volunteers and mem bers of Theta Chi fraternity are being trained to serve as dealers for the games by Jack Costello, a professional dealer, Yu said. Music will be provided by Shannon Talbert, a disc jockey at Players, so dancing will be an alternative for those who don't want to gamble, she said. The High Kickin' Heels will also perform two numbers during the eve ning, Yu said. Some of the door prizes to be given away are two basketball tickets do nated by Dean Smith, which are behind the bench for the Jan. 22 Carolina Wake Forest basketball game, calcula tors donated by Hewlett Packard, a $ 100 discount on any gold class ring by Art Carved and videotapes of the movie "Batman." Proceeds from the sale of mocktails, donated by Carolina Dining Services, will also go towards the donation, Yu said. Tickets are available this week in the front lobby of Lenoir from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m., or can be purchased from the American Cancer Society located on Elliott Road, Aselin said.
