in a discussion sponsored by the Cur
rie ulurn in Alrudn Atro-Arneruan Studies,
Nov 1 i in the Student Union
t’anehst Milton Coleman, city editor of
the Washington Post, said he wondered
what sort of justice system Blacks could ex'
pect after the recent national elections.
Presently, 25 unsolved murders of Blacks
nationwide in the past few months exist and
racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan are
strong, he said
Also, national Black ledders Vernon Ior
dan, National Urban League president and
Benjamin Hooks, NAACP national ex
ecutive director, said the Reagan election is
probably good to unite Blacks as a people,
Coleman said. However, he said he
wondered who Blacks will unite behind for
what purposed
Iordan and Hooks both said in a recent
let article that they expect to present
President-elect Reagan with agendas and to
work with him
Nell Painter, a history professor on the
panel, said history did not teach what may
happen in the future, but in the 1884 and
1912 national elections candidates who
weren't favored by Blacks won The race
survived never the less, she said.

This semester, National Achievement
hosted 70 high school seniors from the
state, although 102 were expe( ted, Shavette
Satterwhite. program assistant for Special
Projects in Student Aftairs said
The program was held Nov 6-8 to allow
minority students to visit the campus and to
view the ditferent sides of UNC.
Pauline Me Neill, co-ordinator tor Na
tional Achievement, attributed the smaller
number to Pro)ec I Uplitt which was h»“ld
the previous spring and was attended by
some expected students Project Uplitt is
structured like National Ac hievement but is
geared to high school juniors
Satterwhite said she dicin t know why
some students didn't attend but 17S students
at first expected did pose a problem concer
ning housing 'We didn't know where we
were going to house all of the students but
when the number of people stating they
weren't going to attend started coming in,
we knew we could probably house 102 if
we kept asking for space," she said
Steve Tanner, a senior at South Granville
in Butner, said the program showed him
both the cultural and academic sides to col
lege life in Chapel Hill.
"Right now. I'm considering applying to
UNC-C (UNC-Creensboro) and here, "
Tanner said "I really don't expect UNC-C
to live up to Chapel Hill though " Tanner
added that programs like National A hieve
ment and Project Uplift help Blacks to shed
misconceptions about UNC
The people who showed us around told
us the things the brochures never tell,"
Trentai Phifer, a senior at A L Brown in
Kannapolis said. She also said that the pro
gram allows students who aren t trom
predominantiv white high schools know
what to expect
Activities for the students included a tour
of campus a cultural program, seminars on
admissions and financial aid and ■ las'room
visitations
