Student on moped
hit-and-run victim
Constance Postolou, a first-year
law student from Raleigh, was in
volved in a hit-and-run accident
Wednesday around 4 p.m. She was
kept overnight at Student Health
Service and may be released as early
as today.
Postolou was riding a red Honda
moped eastbound on Rosemary
Street when she came upon two sta
tionary cars at the intersection of
Rosemary and Columbia streets. A
man in a a grey four-door Oldsmo
bile sedan had left his car in Park and
had gotten out to talk to the man in
the car behind him. Postolou pro
ceeded to pull ahead of the two cars
on the righthand side when the light
turned green.
As Postolou continued to go
straight on Rosemary, the man
jumped back into his car, took a right
turn without signaling and collided
with Postolou on her moped. The
man got out of the car, asked her if
she w as all right and told her he was
going to move his car to the side of
the road. The man then got into his
car and drove away.
Postolou described the driver as a
white male with long brownish hair
in his late 20s or early 30s. The
man in the second car was a black
man. Postolou could not identify
what either man wore.
Postolou was wearing a blue hel
met, a green-and-blue Land's End
Gortex jacket and blue jeans. She
also had a blue backpack.

By SUSIE KATZ
Staff Writer
Student Health Service (SHS) and
student government are accepting ap
plications from students interested in
serving on a new liaison subcommittee
between the SHS Outpatient Commit
tee and student government.
This subcommittee will give stu
dents a chance to voice their opinions
and concerns about the outpatient serv
ices provided by SHS.
The SHS Advisory Board is looking
for articulate students with a knowl
edge of or interest in health care. Appli
cants should be able to work independ
ently and in small groups. A time
commitment of four to six hours per
week is required.
The subcommittee was created by
the SHS Advisory Board with student
government. Gene Davis, Student
Congress speaker, said student govern

Campus activist groups unite
to effectively voice
By STACEY KAPLAN
Staff Writer
The first meeting of the Coalition for
Student Action (CSA), an organization
composed of social issue-oriented
campus groups, was held Tuesday.
"The group will provide a broad
based, multi-issue forum for communi
cation and joint action of student
groups," said Dalya Massachi, chair
woman and CSA founder.
Formed this semester, CSA will work
to unify the various recognized and
unrecognized student activist groups
on campus in hopes of making their
work with cultural, racial and political
issues more effective, Massachi said.
The Campus Y's Student Environ
mental Action Coalition (SEAC), Ac

ternity are among the groups expected
to participate.
Time magazine offering
By AKINWOLE N'GAI WRIGHT
Staff Writer
Time magazine is conducting a na
tional search for 20 outstanding college
juniors in their fields of study.
Winners of the scholarship will each
receive five prizes: a $3,000 award, an
invitation to the awards dinner in New
York, an expense-paid trip to New
York and a day with Time's editorial
staff. In addition to these prizes, the
20 winners will be showcased in the
magazine.
In order to qualify for the scholar
ship, applicants must be college juniors
and enrolled full-time in an accredited
four-year American college or univer
sity. Janet Corwin, the scholarship's
coordinator and a Media Management
Services employee, said more than 600
juniors nationwide applied for the schol
arship last year.
Nominations accepted for Tanner, teaching awards
By JENNIFER DUNLAP
Staff Writer
UNC students have a choice between
two different awards for which they
can nominate their favorite instructors
this year.
One is the student fee-funded Stu
dents' Undergraduate Teaching Award,
which is in its first year.
The other is the Tanner Award,
which has been bestowed on professors
for more than 25 years, according to
George Lensing, this year's chairman
of the Student-Faculty Committee on
Distinguished Teaching Awards. This
award is funded by a bequest from the
Tanner family and is given to full-time
tenure-track faculty members each year.

Tina Levy, a junior from Delray
Beach, Fla., remains in a coma at Boca
Raton Community Hospital after being
injured in a Jan. 4 hit-and-run accident
that continues to baffle police.
Hospital officials said Wednesday
that Levy was still in critical condition.
Tom Levy Jr., Levy's younger
brother, said Wednesday that there has
been no change in her condition. "It's
a day-by-day thing," he said in a tele
phone interview from Delray Beach.
"She shows a lot of positive signs."
Police were originally searching
for the driver of a red sports car which
witnesses at the scene said hit Levy.
But Chris Somers, traffic homicide
investigator at the Boca Raton police
department, said the investigation is
now centering on the driver of a silver
or gray car which was traveling in
place at SHS because the service is
funded solely by student fees.
The subcommittee would provide
SHS with a means of surveying stu
dents so that services may be improved
to satisfy students' needs, Davis said.
The only students now directly in
volved in SHS administration are the
five student members of the Advisory
Board. Three of these students are
undergraduates, and the other two are
medical students. The remaining
members of the board are faculty
members and SHS Director Judith
Cowan.
Mary-Emma Holleman, a senior
from Raleigh and advisory board
member, said she was helping super
vise the selection of members for the
new subcommittee.
While the advisory board's main
priorities are new policies, reviewing
the SHS budget and selecting student
insurance, the liaison subcommittee will
be concerned only with reviewing and
A major group project will be to
distribute a biweekly newsletter to
update and inform all students about
student activism on campus, she said.
The newsletter will contain a calendar
of each group's events, as well as an
open forum for groups and individuals
to propose and debate particular issues
or concerns.
"One of our goals is to share materi
als and information among various
groups in order to learn from and help
each other," Massachi said.
Massachi said she hoped the CSA
would make the students' voice on
campus heard while increasing the ef
fectiveness of student activism.
The idea of unifying student groups
had been tried in the past but had been
proven unsuccessful. Massachi said she
was a little discouraged at the begin
ning. But she said she had received
positive feedback from various groups
"The applicants ranged from the
traditional 20-year-old college jun
iors to the non-traditional career-established
student that is returning to
school in order to further their educa
tion," Corwin said.
The scholarship, in its fourth year,
outlines 1 1 areas of achievement stu
dents may compete in: community
service, political serviceadvocacy,
print journalism, broadcast journalism,
creative writing, entrepreneurship,
creativity in science and technology,
performing arts, visual arts, athletics
and environmental action.
"In the past, the community service
category has received the most appli
cants," Corwin said.
Time editors and representatives of
Volkswagen of America, the program's
sponsors, will select the winners based
on academic excellence and excep
student members of the Tanner Award's
Student-Faculty Committee, the mem
bers of which are selected by the chan
cellor. This committee is in charge of dis
tributing nomination forms to both
students and faculty, who may then
nominate a teacher for one of the six
awards, Loughran said. "It (the Tanner
Award) is an opportunity to award
faculty members for their ability to
teach," he said.
Four of the $3,000 awards go to
General College professors, while the
other two go to professors of upper
level classes and for the first time,
there will be special recognition for
teaching assistants, who can receive
$1,000 awards, he said.
After students turn in their ballots,
the committee chooses finalists from

"We are still investigating," he said.
"We have a suspect (the driver of the
silvergray car) who we are looking
for and one other lead. We are trying
to find the driver of the red car for in
formation. I went to the papers and
the local TV channels. Next, I'll go to
the local Crime Stoppers."
Levy, 20, was hit shortly after 10
p.m. when she left Sharkies Surf Cafe
and started to cross Palmetto Park Road,
according to police reports. As Levy
was standing on the yellow dividing
line, a car traveling on State Road A 1 A
skidded through the intersection, fish
tailed and hit her. Levy was thrown into
the air and hit a 1 988 Lincoln limousine
which stopped suddenly and threw her
onto the road.
Somers said police are having trouble
getting witnesses to talk to them.

improving outpatient services that in
volve students' needs, she said.
Students often complain about SHS,
but their complaints are seldom voiced
to the outpatient committee, Holleman
said. One of the main functions of the
subcommittee will be to create survey
boxes in the Student Union and else
where on campus, so that students can
voice their concerns, she said.
The subcommittee will conduct a
weekly review of those surveys and
other surveys filled out by patients at
the SHS facility, and discuss the results
with the SHS Outpatient Committee,
Holleman said.
Applications for the subcommittee
will be reviewed by Cowan, Holle
man and other student members of the
SHS Advisory Board.
Interested students can get applica
tions at the Student Union desk. Appli
cants will be interviewed if neces
sary. The deadline for submitting ap
plications is 5 p.m. Feb. 2.

whose members said cohesiveness was
necessary.
Another goal of the group is to make
unaffiliated students more aware of the
different groups on campus and en
courage students to participate and
support them, Massachi said. "The CSA
will publicize the events of the student
groups, and hopefully people will be
come more interested in them," she
said.
Shannon Ward, a SEAC representa
tive, said she supports the CSA. "It's an
absolutely incredible idea and I wonder
why it hasn't been thought of before.
We'll be able to get more done by
working together," Ward said.
Jill Nystrom, CSA secretary and a
representative from Action Against

"This scholarship has been very
popular among students thus far. We
have already received 25 completed
applications," said Mary Bowman,
assistant dean of students. "I think this
is a tremendous opportunity that stu
dents should take advantage of."
Bryan Hassel, who in 1986 became
the first sophomore to be elected UNC
student body president, won the Time
scholarship in 1 987. "Hassel earned the
recognition of an effective leader who
went way beyond fulfilling his respon

of students, when Hassel won.

these eight finalists are sent, along with
written recommendations from the
committee to Chancellor Paul Hardin,
who chooses the recipients. These re
cipients are then ineligible to receive
the award for five years.
Mary Pettis, administrative secre
tary to Vice Chancellor and Dean of
student affairs Donald Boulton, said
the number of nominations, now at
about 200, had been dwindling.
"It is such a shame because it's an
enormous opportunity for students to
nominate faculty they admire," she said.
Loughran also stressed the impor

awards available to teachers this year.
"It is very, very important to realize
that the Tanner Award is a separate

several people don't want to come for

Course-pak recycling project
received limited response
By ELIZABETH MURRAY
Staff Writer
A program initiated last month by
Orange Recycling Services (ORS) and
the Tar Heel Recycling Program
(TARP) to encourage students to re
cycle their course-paks did not go as
well as expected, according to several
people who helped implement it.
The ORS provided 14 bins located in
area copy stores and prominent campus
locations during exam week last se
mester to collect course-paks stu
dents would no longer want or use.
"I wouldn't call it an overwhelm
ing success," said Brian Stewart, as
sistant manager of Copytron. "A few
people have come in here, but there
are a lot of sites on campus that stu
dents may be going to more."
Narinder Dahiya, manager of
Kinko's, also said he had not seen many
students come to deposit their old
course-paks in the recycling bins. "The
ads we put inside the course-paks tell
ing the students the recycling sites might
help for next semester, but this was sort
of a last minute thing. We may see more
recycling as the awareness increases."
But both Stewart and Dahiya said
their stores were recycling course
paks left over from past semesters.
The stores kept the binders to reuse
and recycled the rest of the booklet.
Jon Heiderscheit, co-chairman of
TARP, also expressed his disappoint
ment in the total response. "I guess
that it didn't go as well as expected.

We got publicity going and did get
some response. One of the problems
was the big black bins. They looked
too much like garbage cans. We got
course-paks, but we also got a lot of
garbage."
He said that, despite the lack of
overwhelming response, the bins w ould
still be around next semester. "We need
to change the bins so people won't
think they're garbage cans."
It was hard to tell exactly what kind
of response was given because a lot of
collections happened after the students
were already gone for Christmas break,
Heiderscheit said.
Awareness is important to stress in a
program like this, he said. "We got a
decent response as far as people hear
ing about it. For the first time, it wasn't
a complete failure."
Another problem Heiderscheit cited
was that many of the students who
would normally recycle keep their
course-paks in case they need them
later. But he said he did not know how
much of a difference that made.
Since last month when ORS and
TARPcame up with the program.TARP
has gone through restructuring, Hei
derscheit said. TARP, a subcommittee

Coal ition (SEAC), has changed its name
from its previous title of Tar Heel

though it has kept its acronym. It has
consolidated its recycling programs into
one solid waste group.
