Staff Writer
The Campus Y's Race Relations
Week begins today with a reception
including faculty members, adminis
trators and student leaders.
The week will include workshops,
speakers and various forms of enter
tainment. Organizers said the week's
purpose was to foster communication,
interaction and education to end preju
dice while promoting an understanding
of other races and cultures.
Tim Taylor, a member of the organ
izing committee and tri-chairman of
Students for the Advancement of Race
Relations (SARR), said the activities
were designed to promote awareness of
racial problems on campus. "The key
to understanding the problems of race
relations is social interaction."

When Jane was raped by a stranger
in her home last year, she thought she
was going to die. Just before the police
responded to her call for help, Jane,
hidden in the bathroom, looked in the

I larrill said the primary goals of next
year's executive committee would be
to deal with the Campus Y's temporary
move to South Campus, to increase its
number of freshman and minority
members, and to increase the financial
stability and independence of the
Campus Y.
The new Campus Y officers said
they were optimistic about the effect
next year's move to Chase Hall on
South Campus would have on the or

Caroline Charbonnet, also a mem
ber of the organizing committee and
SARR tri-chairwoman, said the week
would provide students with a good
opportunity to listen to people who
have worked in the race relations field
and to develop their own ideas about
race relations.
"At the workshops, students can
formulate their own ideas of racial
prejudice, whether they think it exists
and what can be done about it."
Jennifer Bielstein, organizing com
m ittee chairwoman, said the workshops
were a key part of the week. The

survive. Now, she says, she must tell
other victims how to survive to find
something positive from the attack.
"In some ways, you're less able to
handle the old problems, but I felt like
I walked away from a plane crash, and
that elat ion lasted," said Jane, w ho asked
that her real name not be used.
But something in her did die, Jane
said in a letter she wrote to a close
friend a week after the rape.
"I am recovering from the most bi
zarre few weeks I could have ever
dreamed up," she wrote, continuing
with a brief account of how newspapers
reported her rape. "But what a huge
story is not told in the paper ... There's
being told you should leave your home
by the police not that I ever planned
on staying there again. But leaving home
without notice having other folks
pack you up and move you out like you
were dead ... what has been toughest
about this whole thing has been losing
'home' so quickly and without warn
ing." Clearly, this was a crime of control
and violence, not sex. And just after the
rape, Jane fought to regain that control
over her life.

'There is a lack of minority involve
ment in Campus Y. We want to get
them involved."
Bielstein seconded this concern. "I
think we've developed somewhat of a
negative reputation on campus. People
think (Campus Y) caters to a certain
group. That's not our intention. We're
there for everyone."
Bielstein said the move to South
Campus would put the Campus Y in
touch with a new group of students who
may not have gotten involved if they
had to trek up to North Campus to get
involved. She said she didn't think the
move would put a damper on the in

the issue. Afterwards, we will tell them
about ways they can follow up and
groups they can get involved in."
Bielstein said there would be more
than 30 workshops, held in every resi

workshops in the Pit until Saturday.

When she couldn't stand it any more,
she scurried out of the bathroom,

She did not cry until almost two days

UNC department chairmen and
administrators said Wednesday they
would have trouble recruiting and re
taining faculty, staff and graduate stu
dents in the wake of the hiring freeze
and moratorium on spending state funds
issued Tuesday by the University.
"Anything like this is bound to have
an effect on the outside perception of
the University," said Ann Woodward,
chairwoman of the music department.
"I just hope we can weather this."
Most departments were notified of
the changes Wednesday morning by a
memo from Vice Chancellor for Busi
ness and Finance Ben Tuchi. Some
deans and department heads were noti
fied in a meeting Tuesday.
The policy changes come as a result
of state appropriations cuts totaling $3.4
million for the second and third quar
ters of this fiscal year. If fourth-quarter
allocations are less than expected, lay
offs are a possibility, Tuchi said Tues
day. Al

For the second year in a row, all
students who applied for on-campus
housing will receive a space in a
residence hall, Wayne Kuncl, direc
tor of University housing, said at a
Housing Advisory Board meeting
Wednesday.
Liz Jackson, Residence Hall As
sociation president, also said at the
meeting that the referendum to put
cable in residence halls at a cost of
$30 per semester for each on-campus
student was tentatively scheduled for
March 20.
She said she did not know how
room rent increases, coupled with
Charbonnet said she felt the cross
cultural entertainment night which
will include performances by the Black
Student Movement Gospel Choir, South
Indian Classical Dancing, the Loreleis,
Folk Songs and the Ebony Readers
would provide students with a valuable
insight into other cultures.
"America is so ethnocentric. Every
one knows white culture. This will give
students a chance to be exposed to
many cultures."
A March for Unity, scheduled for
Monday, will begin in the Pit and end at
South Building. Students will then
present their statement of purpose to
Chancellor Paul Hardin. Vice chancel
lors Donald Boulton and Harold Wal

about the University's commitment to
race relations.

knowledged she could not stay in con
trol for long. "Get help."
But when she tried to do so shortly
after she re-enacted the rape with the
police, Jane discovered something she
never expected: The mental health
workers were in too much of a hurry to
counsel her.
"We close up shop at 5 (p.m.)," Jane
was told when she arrived at UNC's
Student Psychological Services the day
after her rape. The counselor who spoke
with Jane for a few minutes before the
office closed was concerned only with
w hether Jane was going to need sleep
ing pills prescribed before the psychia
trist went home.
"I was feeling so victimized then,"
Jane said. "I hadn't broken down until
then, but I couldn't keep the tears from
coming. I felt nothing but alone, and I
just needed to talk. But at that point, I
was in my grateful phase, where I was
afraid to question, afraid the help would
be closed off. So I went three and a half
days without really getting help."
The counselor offered her another
appointment a few days later, but Jane
instead found a private psychotherapist

UNC's current and past problems
with inadequate state appropriations
make the University unattractive to
potential employees, department chair
men said.
"It concerns me for the long run and
the immediate future," said Joseph
Flora, chairman of the English depart
ment. "It will definitely hinder UNC's
look of attractiveness to new faculty
members. If this happens next year, we
could be in trouble."
Deniese Parrish, administrative di
rector for the radiology department,
said the department now had all its
positions filled. "We currently are not
having any problems. However, if a
position were to become vacant, we
couldn't fill it."
John Florin, chairman of the geogra
phy department, said his department
was not actively recruiting this year but
could have problems in future recruit
ing efforts. "This situation cannot help
us, but it can hurt us. If I were looking
for a job, I would be very wary of
coming here."

tuition and fee increases, would affect
students feelings about cable. "The
good thing about cable is you get some
thing tangible for your money."
Kuncl said normally 45 percent to 50
percent of the rooms on North Campus
were reserved for freshmen, but be
cause all upperclassmen were guaran
teed their same room, there are now
fewer spaces reserved for freshmen, he
said.
But he said the department expected
some upperclassmen to decide not to
live on campus. "We plan on the num
ber of upperclassmen dropping on North
Campus so there will be the same
number of freshmen."

Departments are not allowed to make
long-distance calls, so they can't con
tact potential employees with long
distance numbers, he said. "If we were
trying to recruit anybody, it could be
very difficult."
Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs
Garland Hershey said similar situations
around the country could prevent UNC
from losing out in recruiting battles.
"It's a situation that, unfortunately,
we're seeing across the country. So it's
less a problem than if North Carolina
was the only place in which it is a
problem."
The freeze applies to all vacant state
funded jobs, including full-time, part

ments can fill vacancies if the job offer
