Public Relations-
Campus Affairs
By CHERYL ANDERSON
Staff Writer
Carolina offers many organizations that strive to serve the campus com
munity. One of these organizations is the Student Government Public Rela
tions and Campus Affairs Committee. Rochelle Riley, head coordinator,
says that the committee, (formerly two separate organizations), functions
well as an “interrelated” group. The committee releases statements to the
press, corresponds with other schools and acts as a link between Student
Government and some 250-300 other organizations on campus.
The office, located in Suite C of the Student Union, is open on weekdays
from 1 p.m.-5 p.m. Riley acknowledges that this year’s Student Government
organizations “are the best I have seen so far. The people in Suite C are
hard-working and (work well together).”
Riley, a junior and an advertising major in the School of Journalism, ex
presses that she “got into PR because it is the department in Student
Government that is closest to my (prespective) career.” She has been in
volved in Student Government since junior high school and she feels that
students should “get involved with decisions that affect their lives.” Riley
enjoys PR because she is learning “efficiency” and “responsibility”, and
likes talking to and meeting people.
The Student Govenment office has applications for any students in
terested in doing volunteer work with Public Relations. Riley encourages all'
interested students to “take a look.” She admits, “I enjoy it (PR) enough to
want to continue working with it; maybe next year run for Student Body
President. But I doubt it! ”
Human Relations Committee
By ANNIE NEWKIRK
Black-white relations is the topic of informal discussions being held at
various locations on campus this semester.
Jennifer Weiss, chairperson of the Human Relations Committee, Archie
Copeland, Associate Director of the Union, Barbara Fish, an employee of
Wesley Foundation, and ten UNC students met October 30 for the first of
several proposed meetings.
A program for the discussion of black-white relations has not been fully
established as of yet. The purpose of the meeting was to establish whether
such a discussion group could interest enough people to be worthwhile.
If such a program is formulated, meetings will take place twice a month in
different residence areas, giving blacks and whites an opportunity to ex
plore deeper one another’s feelings in the relaxed atmosphere of residence
halls.
At a meeting held recently in James Dorm, some of the more outstanding
ideas included the socialization of North Campus whites with South Campus
blacks to instill a better understanding of socio-economic cultures, informal
settings for more open discussion, and the possibility that people are tired of
talking about black-white relations altogether.
The group came up with a number of other topics for discussion at later
meetings such as housing, increased Black input in extracurricular ac
tivities, social and cultural diffemces and the question, “Why are there
Black Organizations?”
Jennifer Weiss is willing to discuss with anyone his or her views on Black-
white relations in her office in the Union. Weiss says other Black-white rela
tions meetings will be publicized.

Hearing on the Minority
Presence at UNC planned
A faculty/student committee — the Committee on the Status of Minorities and the
Disadvantaged — announces that it will hold open campus-wide hearings on ways to
implement a more effective affirmative action program at UNC. The Committe has
invited key administrators, faculty organizations, student groups and interested
members at the university community to share views with it. The overall focus of the
Hearings is on creating appropriate administrative structures to institutionalize and
effectuate UNC’s commitment to enhanced minority presence and welfare. Related
issues of concern include: minority student recruitment and retention; the criteria
and procedures governing undergraduate and graduate admission; financial and
academic support systems; counseling; and ways to increase and retain minority
students, faculty and staff.
Hearings are scheduled for Monday, November 19, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. in room
202-04 at the Carolina Union, and Monday, November 26 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in room
202-04 of the Carolina Union.
“These hearings are being held because of the Committee’s duty to inquire into
ways to enhance the wellbeing of Blacks at UNC” comments Prof. Charles E. Daye,
the Committee’s Chair. “The immediate impetus”, he continues, “for the hearings at
this time is the Long Report which made certain recommendations to the Faculty
Council regarding affirmative action. These recommendations were adopted by the
Council on October 19. Our task now is to analyze the concrete admini.strative
measures needed to assure the short-term and long-term implementation of the
recommendations.”
The Committee will use the hearings as one forum to gather information which it
will use to formulate its annual report to the Faculty Council this Spring. The Commit
tee is appointed by the Chancellor and has seven faculty and four student members.
Interested students or representatives of student groups should contact Scott
Norberg, Jessie Cureton or Tom I^mbeth at Student Government (phone 933-520J).
Others should contact Prof. Daye at the Law School (933-5106).
