was found guilty of
as,saulting Cecilia Walker, a
black senior from East
Orange, N.J. in Orange
County District Court.
Jones was granted a prayer
for judgment continuance
for six months, meaning
that the defendant was
found guilty of the crime
but will not receive a
criminal record.
In the incident involving
the dormitory assault of the
black female by two white
females, university officials
mel with the students and
their parents and the
university housing depart
ment put the white students
on probation and transfer
red them to another dor
mitory.
Such occurrences are
evidence of a disturbing
mood, said Black Student
Movement President
Canady.
“1 think there is a mood,
but I’m not quite sure why
it is manifesting itself in this
way now,” Canady told the
Chronicle.
Canady added that the
general mood of anxiety in
the country may be a fac
tor. “These are frustrating
times for everyone,”' he
said.
“They just started hap
pening,” John Flinton,
editor of Black Ink, UNC’s
black student newspaper,
said of the incidents. “It
was like a steamroller.
Some of the incidents could
be construed as minor
disputes, but with black
students, when the word
’niger’ comes up, it will
provoke a fight. Black peo
ple do not appreciate being
called niggers.”
Flinton .said he had hoped
the university administra
tion would have reprimand
ed the white students with
more than just “a slap on
the wrist.”
In the days following the
letter by Canady and
Shepard, the Daily Tar Fleel
was filled with letters of'
response almost evenly
divided among those who
felt that the incidents were
the sign of troubled race
relations on campus and
those who felt that they
were isolated incidents
blown out of proportion.
“In the final analysis, it
does not matter whether the
recent incidents were racial
or not,” wrote Greensboro
junior Teresa Artis on Dec
4. “The important fact is
that racial problems do ex
ist at Carolina. These pro
blems have not emerged
just during the past few
weeks.
“If this period of public
attention is the time for the
University community to
grasp that fact, then we are
all fools not to seize this
chance. Problems exist
dorm rooms, in classes, in
student organizations, bet
ween professors and
students and simply in the
lack of understanding and
interaction between blacks
and whites.”
Countered white student
Josh Kardon, in the same
edition: “To blacks on
campus, 1 urge you not to
be misled by those who pur
port to be your leaders.
Work for increased black
enrollment , work for an am
crease in black faculty
work for a cessation o'f'pre
judicb that exists on both
sides of the color line-do
not become entangled in a
muddle of purposeless sen
sationalism.”
In a Daily Tar Fleel inter
view on Dec. 2, UNC
Chancellor Christopher C.
Fordham 111 said his
response to the incidents
was “not a very happy
one.
“There’s a lot of feelings
of insecurity, tension and
alienation in society and for
that climate to be reflected
on this campus in a learning
environment concerns me.”
Fordham added that a let
ter listing the names and
phone numbers of people
students should contact
about disciplinary problems
would be distributed on
campus.

City Congress
Alderman Larry W.
Womble of Winston-Salem
was in Detroit last week to
work with local government
leaders from around the
country as the National
League of Cities met for the
1981 Congress of Cities.
The League’s annual
meeting, attended by some
3,000 mayors, , council
members, commissioners
and othe municipal offici
als, focused this year on
sorting out the roles and
responsibilites of local
government in the rapidly
changing structure of fed
eral, state and local rela
tionships. A major concern
at the meeting was identify
ing the resources that will
be required to enable each
level of government to
carry out its proper func
tions.
NLC president William H.
Hudnut, mayor of Indiana
polis, led off the meeting
with a speech pointing out
that gains must be made in
matters such as home rule
for cities in order to bring
about the New Federalism
goals espoused by presid
ent Reagan, hudnut also
said that higher levels of
government should accom
pany the assignment of
functions for local govern-
