The European Community's recog
nition of Croatia and Slovenia as inde
pendent states raises new questions
about the prospects for peace in war
torn Yugoslavia.
The EC's declaration Wednesday
could threaten the cease-fire that has
held since Jan. 2. Some EC representa
tives fear the Serb-dominated federal
government might continue military
operations against the Croats to halt the
disintegration of Yugoslavia.
"We sincerely hope the prospects for
peace won't diminish," said Momcilo
Koprivica, counselor for press of the
Yugoslav embassy in Washington, D.C.
"But we are absolutely uncertain
whether what has happened will en
hance the prospects for peace or cause
further complications."
The recognition of Croatian inde
pendence changes the scope of a war
that started as a civil conflict between
ethnic groups. Now the war has been
transformed into an international issue.

David Duke struggling to land
spot on GOP primary ballots
By Brandy Fisher
Staff Writer
Republican leaders in several states
have launched widespread campaigns
to keep controversial presidential can
didate David Duke off primary ballots.
Duke, the former Ku KIux Klan leader
turned right-wing politician, hopes to
challenge President Bush for the Re
publican nomination.
But Duke's reputation as a racist and
his lack of GOP support have stymied
the Louisiana native's attempts to win a
place on many state primary ballots.
Many Republicans worry that Duke's
background will taint voters' opinions
of other GOP candidates.
'There is every reason to distrust him
he's racist, anti-semitic and some
one who is completely out of tune with
the democratic values of our country,"
said William Leuchtenburg, a UNC
Kenan professor of history.
Georgia, Rhode Island and Florida
have declared Duke ineligible for inclu
sion on primary ballots. Several other
states are determinjng whether the con
servative challenger will meet state re
quirements for inclusion.
Duke first faced trouble in Massa
chusetts when Secretary of State
Michael Connolly, by personal choice,
announced that the former Klan leader's
name would not be placed on the ballot
for the state's May 10 primary. The
threat of a lawsuit by the American
Civil Liberties Union forced Connolly
to reverse his decision.
Although Duke has denounced his
career in the Klan, his reputation has

independence could threaten fragile cease-fire
nomic assistance from neighboring
countries should the Serbs continue
fighting, said UNC history Professor
Josef Anderle.
Without Croatian and Slovenian in
dependence, many EC representatives
feared that fighting would continue,
Anderle said. But the United States
wants stronger assurances that Serbs
living in Croatia will be protected be
fore it recognizes the two states' inde
pendence, he said.
President Bush also is hesitant to
recognize Croatian independence be
cause of the alliance the United States
has shared with the Yugoslav govern
ment since World War II, Anderle said.
A State Department official speak
ing on the condition of anonymity said
last week that the United States and the
EC share the common goal of ending
the fighting, but any peace settlement
should include strong protection of na
tional rights.
"We have made it clear that we are
firmly opposed to changes of the bor
ders of any Yugoslav republic by force
or intimidation," the official said.

cost him support from large factions of
the Republican Party.
The Massachusetts GOP has refused
to support Duke because the party nor
mally backs incumbents, not because
of the challenger's political beliefs,
said Alan Safran, press secretary for
the state Republican party.
Other state organizations recognize
Duke as a political extremist, rather
than a viable contender for the presi
dential nomination.
"He's not a legitimate candidate,"
said Eddie Woodhouse, communica
tions director for the N.C. Republican
Party. "He was a Democrat, no w he 's a
Republican, and he'll turn somewhere
else next."
March Vogel, treasurer of the Duval
County, Fla., Republican executive
committee, fears Florida voters will
confuse Duke's Klan connection with
the views of mainstream Republicans.
"We do not support him, because he
comes from a violent background,"
Vogel said. "His association with the
KKK was not an association with the
Republican party."
Duke was disappointed with the
decisions of election officials in Florida,
Georgia and Rhode Island to keep him
off primary ballots, said Nicole
Berthonnaud, assistant director of re-

declared independence from Yugosla
via June 25, 1 99 1 . During the six months
of fighting, both sides have agreed to
and broken 14 cease-fires. The most
recent truce has held the longest, Anderle
said.
Barbara Hicks, UNC political sci
ence instructor, said the latest cease-fire
would hold if the United Nations plays
a more immediate role in the peace
process. Last week, the United Nations
sent a 50-member peace-keeping force
to monitor the cease-fire.
The EC did not grant official recog
nition to two additional Yugoslav re
publics Bosnia-Hercegovina and
Macedonia although both have de
clared independence.
The Yugoslav government would like
to protect Serb regions of Bosnia
Hercegovina, but Serb villages are in
termixed with Muslim and Croat towns.
Dividing Bosnia-Hercegovina into eth
nic regions would be close to impos
sible, Anderle said.
The Macedonians cannot function
without support from the Yugoslav gov
ernment, he said.
"Macedonia has nowhere to go,"
Anderle said. "They are a poor moun
search for the Duke campaign.
Duke, in conjunction with the ACLU,
will file lawsuits against any state that
denies his inclusion on primary ballots,
Berthonnaud said.
Because Duke has faced such strong
opposition from the Republican Party,
he may decide to run as a third party
candidate in the November general elec
tion, she said.
"It's always an option, but he hasn't
made any firm, fast decisions yet,"
Berthonnaud said.
In North Carolina, Duke's name prob
ably will not appear on the May 5 ballot,
since the state board of elections re
quires candidates either to qualify for
federal funding or to complete a 1 0,000
signature petition.
To meet the funding requirement, a
candidate must get 20 state contribu
tions of $5,000 each.
Duke faces trouble in his attempt to
meet either of these state requirements
in time for the N.C. primary.
"Right now I'll be honest, I haven't
heard any indication of support for
Duke," Woodhouse said. "If someone
stuck a gun to my head, I'd say he's
gonna come up short."

Hicks said the Yugoslav government
has virtually fallen apart under the strain
of the recent secessions.
'The federal government was set up
to balance off nationality conflicts,"
Hicks said. "With parts of the govern
ment pulling out, the balance falls apart."
Two weeks ago, the Yugoslav army
complicated the cease-fire by shooting
down an EC observer helicopter. The
army has accepted responsibility for the
shooting and has begun an investiga
tion, Koprivica said.

Richard Epps was student body presi
dent from 1 972 to 1 973 and also the first
black student to hold this position. Epps
also became the first student body presi
dent to serve on the Board of Trustees.
As a junior, Epps was chairman of
the Honor Court and remained involved
with the University even after hisgradu
ation, Heyd said.
Epps said he was surprised at the
nomination he had received from Heyd.
"Yes, I was surprised that I had been
nominated, but pleasantly so," he said.
"I had been a member of the Board of
Trustees before."
In addition to his service with the
Board of Visitors, Epps has been in

Wright compared the struggle of
blacks today to King's struggle in the
1960s.
"We know that it wasn't easy for Dr.
King, and we know that it is not easy for
us," he said. "We still have many more
mountains to climb."
Watson said affirmative action laws
and civil rights acts are necessary in the
struggle for equal rights, Watson said.
"Affirmative action is one of the pre
scriptions to help treat and maybe even
place in remission the disease of racism
in America," she said. "If the system
was not sick in the first place, then there
would be no need for civil rights laws."
Middle-aged black men need to take
a more active role in the civil rights
movement instead of merely relying on
the traditional dominance of women
and young people, Watson said.
"We not only need to learn to live
together, we also need to learn to lead
our people together," she said.
The music for the service included
"We Shall Overcome," a song that be
came the anthem of the civil rights
movement in the 1960s and the Black
National Hymn, "Lift Every Voice and
Sing."

Anderle said confusion within the
federal force may have caused the inci
dent. "Many (federal troops) have deserted
and are avoiding conscription," he said.
"It's so bad that the Yugoslavian army
isn't able to operate in a regular combat
way."
The ethnic conflict between the
Croats and Serbs historically has been a
catalyst for worldwide violence. In 1 9 1 4,
tension between the two republics ig
nited World War I.
But the recent conflict is of a differ
ent nature. Hicks said. In the past, the

A committee is working to establish

more prestigious, and annual fund rais

directed them that way, she said.
Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun, who
has spent time in South Africa working
with a trial advocacy group, said he
gradually started noticing likenesses
between life in the United States and
life in South Africa during his visits.
"Martin Luther King Jr. has brought
us to the beginning of the light," he said.
"Whether we live in that light is up to us.
"I spent time with Archbishop
Desmond Tutu and worked in South
Africa. As I went there more often, I
saw more alarming similarities the
same economic disparity that exists in
South Africa exists here," Broun said.
He added that housing in Chapel Hill
was unaffordable for many residents.

issue was the relationships of these small
nations to large foreign empires. Now it
involves internal Yugoslav politics.
Violence has become a part of the
cultural mind-set in Yugoslavia, Anderle
said.
"Violence became a pattern," he said.
"People not only want to kill their en
emy, but disfigure him as well."
But recent efforts by the United Na
tions and the EC may bring lasting
peace to the region. "I'm optimistic that
some agreement will be found," Anderle
said. "Yugoslavia will still be there, but
smaller."

Ervin said the scholarship kept the
memory of King alive. "It is one way of
informing individuals who live in a
different time about this particular
American and why it's important to
keep his contributions alive."

Alan McSurely, a local attorney ac
tive in civil rights, compared the UNC's
personnel policies for its lowest paid
workers to the plantation system treat
ment of slaves.
"We want the starting salaries for
housekeepers upped to $17,000," he
said, adding that the average
housekeeper's gross pay now is be
