However, some AIDS activists do not agree. They believe that requiring people to give their names before being tested would discourage many people who could have AIDS from being tested until it was too late.

Edwards said she was not happy about Hardin's refusal to allow lawyers at Steps 1 and 2 of the grievance process. Committee m&n public foram on other statoe site: By ASHLEY F0GLE Staff Writer The UNC Buildings and Grounds Committee scheduled a public forum about the sculpture in front of Davis Library and considered its role in the decision to move the artwork at an emergency meeting Tuesday. The committee did not reach a deci sion on a new site, but members hope to recommend several possible locations to Chancellor Paul Hardin in early De cember, said John Sanders, committee chairman. Committee members also agreed that a public forum would be helpful in finalizing a recommendation about the sculpture, "The Student Body." The forum is scheduled for Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in Gerrard Hall. The Buildings and Grounds Committee's next meeting will be Dec. 4. "Everyone who has something to say is invited," Sanders said.

The Community Against Offensive Statues formed on campus after the statues were erected Oct. 23. Members of the group have petitioned adminis trators and protested to have the statues moved to another location. Dana Lumsden, an organizer of CAOS, said he was disappointed with many of the Buildings and Grounds Committee's decisions. "I am disappointed that we (who) are opposed to the statues were not notified about the date and time of the emergency meeting," he said. Lumsden also said he disagreed with the committee's decision to hold a public forum to discuss the issue. CAOS See STATUES, page 3 program "In order to test the idea we took an area where students are fairly highly motivated," he said. Emily Kuo, a freshman Cobb resi dent, said, "If it is a worthwhile pro gram and if it is efficient, then the $5 fee is worth it." Chilton said the Orange County Re cycling Services would pick up the re cycled goods for free. The University should save money because of trash reduction, which will go directly back into the recycling pro gram itself, he said. TARP also began a mobile recycling program on campus this semester. ". ti DTHGrant Halverson ' Jits .
