from page 1
k.,4sa resident of Jordan, she is aware
of the anti-American attitudes in the
region. "The lobbyists (in the U.S.) are
putting a great deal of pressure on our
country to go to war. but we need the
Arabs as our allies," Nasir said.
Lisa Abbott, co-chairwoman of
SEAC, said SEAC had not taken a stand
OM 'withdrawing U.S. troops from the
Middle East, but it did link industry's
lobbying for profit-gain to dangerous
foreign policy.
"The reason Kuwait is such a prob
lem now is because of 20 years of profit
making decisions beforehand," she said.
"Because of our deadly addiction to oil,
-we?re now facing a crisis in the East."
' SEAC's larger aim of the protest was
to show how industry has blocked en
ergy conservation, Abbott said. "Our
-purpose is to highlight the way big oil
industry has systematically squashed
-arid destroyed any initiative for com
prehensive energy conservation."
Friday's protest was a part of SEAC
-national's call for corporate account
ability to the energy crisis, Abbott said.
The march was not to protest the
right of Exxon to recruit, but it was to
advocate the freedom of choice, she
said. "We're passing out flyers to en
courage people to look at Exxon's cor
porate record and to exercise their
freedom of choice to say no' to Exxon."
Aly x Perry, a freshman from Durham
arid a member of SEAC, said the purpose
of the protest was to make people aware
-of the policies of Exxon. "We just hope
to maybe change the minds of people
who are considering working for Exxon
by. letting them know of the environ
mentally unsound policies of the cor
poration." The Exxon recruiting was organized
by the geology department. The chair-
persons of the department and the re
; cruiters were unavailable for comment.

In a recent survey administered by
the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools, black
parents gave a moderate to high rating
of the general quality of education of
fered in the system, but gave a much
lower rating to the education of black
students.
Meanwhile, some school board
members said they doubted whether the
respondents expressed their true feelings
when answering the survey's questions.
The more than 300 respondents gave
the school system a rating of 5.5 1 out of
seven for the quality of its general per
formance, but gave the schools a 4.29
out of seven for the education of blacks.
The survey was conducted after two
school board members, Ted Parrish and
Ruth Royster, questioned whether an
overall parent opinion survey adminis
tered earlier in the year was representa
tive of the black parents.
"A survey of all parents is done every
two years by the school system," Royster
said. "In the past, information from
black parents has been diluted in the
general survey. Black parents are a
numerical minority in the school sys
tem." The questions in the telephone sur
vey asked black parents to rate the
quality of the school system, how the
system serves all children and black
children, where the parents get infor
mation about the schools, programs they
thought might be helpful and how they
help facilitate their children's learning.
Kim Hoke, assistant to the superin
tendent for school-community relations,
and Johnston, Zabor and Associates, of
the Research Triangle Park, designed
the questions and conducted the survey.
But school board members still ques
tioned the validity of the telephone sur
vey. Royster said she was concerned
that parents may not have told the sur
veyors what they really felt.
"Parents probably said what the in
quirer wanted to hear rather than what is
actually taking place," she said. "If the
answers are accurate, then we would be
seeing a different type of student."
House said the parents may have
interpreted questions to have different
meanings. She noted one question con
cerning how parents help their children
with homework as an example.
"We assume they answered the
questions honestly," she said. "For some
(helping with homework) means sitting
down and instructing the child, and for
others, it might mean holding the child
accountable for it."
School board Chairwoman Sue Baker
said the results of the survey were more
positive than she had expected.
"I think people answered with good
intentions," she said. "With all surveys,
it is hard to measure for sure whether
people were giving their true feelings."
The parents offered several sugges
tions for courses and resources that
might be beneficial to the students,
House said. Some parents said they
wanted more emphasis on drug and
alcohol awareness and new ways to
help students with homework and multi
cultural education, specifically issues
involving black culture.

The issues of race relations and cul
tural diversity in the curriculum has
received a lot of attention in the school
system during the last few months. Ruth
Reid-Coleman, a guidance counselor at
Chapel Hill High School, said the non
white students seem to feel uncomfort
able with white students.
"In talking with (minority students),
some feel that the majority has not made
them feel welcome," she said.
The school system needs to develop
programs to help all the students feel
more comfortable, Bakersaid. "We need
to make all children feel welcome, not
different," she said.
A racial awareness discussion group
called Cultural Awareness Sensitivity
in Education has been meeting at Chapel
Hill High School since last year, Reid
Coleman said. The group is composed
of students, teachers and administrators,
and its goal is to improve relations be
tween the various cultures represented
at the school.
WUNC plans
new location
by late 1992
By SHARYN TILL
Staff Writer
Public radio station WUNC-FM
should be moving out of its cramped
and occasionally flooded station, which
served as a basement cafeteria in Swain
Hall until 1953, sometime before late
1992.
The WUNC Community Advisory
Board met Oct. 17 to discuss the future
move of the station, the success of its
fund raising campaigns, program
changes and the achievement of its
largest listening audience. The board
acts as the eyes and ears of the com
munity, reflecting its concerns to the
University.
"It's not a good scenario for the sta
tion if we stay here until 1992," said
General Manager Bill Davis, referring
to flooding, poor wiring and sound
quality as the major problems of the
current 5,000-square-foot station.
The University donated the $200,000
plot of land on Laurel Hill Parkway,
overlooking Finley golf course, for the
new building. The internal layout of the
new 12,999-square-foot building
"clearly will not meet the needs of the
station 10 years from now," Davis said.
In the current plans, the news department
requires more space, and the library is
not close enough to the on-air studio, he
said.
The internal adjustments will not af
fect the $2.25 million dollar goal, Davis
said.
Davis said he was relieved the public
phase of the fund-raising campaign was
over. The $500,000 raised from the
"Buy A Brick" on-air appeal to the
public exceeded Davis' expectations.
"We have raised at least $1.5 million,"
he said. "There are at least one, maybe
more, major gifts coming in before we
declare ground breaking."
Davis predicted the ground breaking
gala would occur around Jan. 1, 1991.
Officials will know the date within a
month. Davis said he hoped National
Public Radio could come to Chapel Hill
and combine it with the 20th anniver
sary celebration of "All Things Consid
ered," the longest running news maga
zine on the air.
"Given the current financial atmo
sphere of the state and the University, it
is unclear how (funding) will finish
up," said WUNC Program Director
Craig Curtis. "We hope that within a'
month we will know (the ground
breaking date)." '
The classical and jazz focus of the
station should not be affected by recent
programming changes, Davis said. !
The station removed a Saturday!
evening Garrison Keillor program and!
canceled reruns of Gary Shivers on Jazz. :
A Saturday evening show on contem-i
porary African music, Afro-Pop, has!
joined WUNC and is hosted by Jeorges!
Colhnet. :
The advisory board has been dis-i
cussing the programming changes for a!
number of months, said William!
Massey, assistant vice chancellor of!
University relations.
"(The board) didn't make the changes !
until Bill Davis arrived on the scene in;
September," Massey said. 'We also
made the changes now because we're:
having an on-air campaign in Novem
ber." The station hopes to raise $400,000
to $500,000 during the operational!
campaign, which runs from Nov. 7-13. !
Davis said results from a recent sur-!
vey administered by a media ranking
service showed WUNC achieved its'
largest listening audience with 132,800
people tuning in at least once a week. !
The service could not rank WUNC be-!
cause the station does not run advertis-!
ing.
