Little Professor BOOK CENTER UNIVERSITY SQUARE 143 West Franklin. Chapel Hill •K ¥ •K ■K * ¥ THE JAM Great Hall - Carolina Union 6:00pm Saturday, October 10, 1981 Show draws reaction KAREN MOORE Special Projects Editor CBS's coverage of the University of North Carolina system, aired Sept. 13 on its "Sun day Morning" news show, was seen as in adequate and non-beneficial by several UNC-CH students, according to informal in terviews. The coverage was sparked by the recent settlement between the UNC system and the federal government over the 11 -year issue of the desegregation of its 16 member schools. The Reagan administration has turned re sponsibility for showing good faith in deseg regating over to UNC until the system is evaluated in 1986, when itwll have to prove that an effort had been made to live up to the terms of the decree. "The coverage was lacking, I admit, but I thought it had some merit," said Jai Harrel- son, a sophmore. Robert Ware, a junior, was disappointed that they didn't interview any black adminis trators at UNC or any white students at N.C. Central University. "I never really got the purpose for the story," he said. Ware also said that the journalist who na rrated the coverage, made an error when he said that Central was the same size as UNC- CH. "They tried to cover too big of an issue in 12 minutes. As a result, they had a lot of incoherent information thrown out to the viewers." Teresa Blossom, a junior and Minister of Information for the Black Student Move ment, said that the UNC system "would have been better benefitted by this type of coverage before the settlement. The only thing that is different in '81 from '71 is that it is a closed book for the federal govern ment." Lisa Staton, a junior, said, "I think the government should upgrade black schools with money, not with white students, be cause the black alumni don't have the money to put back into the schools." - Earlier this month, Vernon Jordan resigned his position as president of the National Urban League. Jordan was resigning from NUL because it was time for a change in leadership. (AP Photo) BLACK INK X- rk 4 rk Jf Jf 'The essence of freedom is understanding."
