Police substation
suffering due to
lack of publicity
By Shakti Routray
Staff Writer
Few University Mall customers have
taken advantage of the nearly four
month old Chapel Hill Police Depart
ment satellite office because many resi
dents do not know the office exists,
according to police officer Rick Ennis.
Ennis, who oversees the Commu
nity-Oriented Policing shop in Univer
sity Mall, said he was working on a
promotional campaign to make the of
fice more visible.
“We would like for everyone to know
the C.O.P. shop is here, instead of just
coming to the mall and finding it by
Town native announces
school-board candidacy
By Leah A. Campbell
Assistant City Editor
A 22-year-old Chapel Hill native and
single mother announced her candidacy
Saturday for a seat on the Chapel Hill-
Cartboro school board, saying she
wanted to take back the school system
to provide educational opportunities for
all children.
LaVonda Burnette, who is a member
of the school district’s blue ribbon task
force on the education of African-
American children, said she wanted to
ensure that the system provided quality
education across the board.
“We need to guarantee a first-rate
education to all of our children—white
as well as black, rich as well as poor,”
she said. “The future of our community
depends on it.”
Burnette gathered with about 50 area
residents at the school’s administrative
offices at Lincoln Center on Merritt
Mill Road to make her announcement.
Burnette said she described herself
as a constructive critic of the school
system.
“Although the statewide statistics
support that fact that this school system
is one of the best in the state, I think the
system has fallen short of providing
opportunities for poor children, chil
dren from single head-of-household
families and children of color,” she said.

chance,” Ennis said. “We would like to
encourage people to come down.”
The police department opened the
office last November to offer programs
about current town police issues, in
cluding crime prevention and child
abuse, Ennis said.

Burnette said she thought poverty
stricken children often struggled to stay
focused on their education.
“Each and every time I see a child
rise through a life in which the street
presents strong temptations to do any
thing other than succeed in the class
room, I recognize a true miracle of
God,” she said.

Boulton to discuss STY budget problems
By Jon Rich
Staff Writer
Officials from Student Television,
angry at recent Student Congress bud
get cuts, will meet with Dean Donald
Boulton to discuss their frustration.
STV station manager Geoff Newman
organized the meeting with Boulton,
the vice chancellor for student affairs
and student government’s faculty ad
viser, in hopes of changing how student
fees are allocated and addressing other
congressional procedures.
The meeting will be held at 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday in room 213 of the Student
Union. Newman has invited other cam
pus organizations that went through
budget appropriations and all interested
students to attend.
Student Congress allocates about
$220,000 of student fees annually to
University-recognized campus organi
zations.
The $11,385.40 Student Congress
allocated to STV was almost $6,000
less than the $16,880 the station re
quested. The proposal for 1993-94 is a
“bare-bones” allotment and is $3,000
less than what the station received last
year, Newman said.
“I went through and tried to stream
line things, put together an actual bud
get of what we needed specifically,” he
said. “That was a mistake.
“I should have ballooned our budget
so that when (congress) cut things, they
only took us down to an operating level.
Instead, they took what we hqd anfl cut
us below operating level.” ' ' ‘

Series highlights
various faces of
Jewish culture
By Phuong Ly
Staff Writer
They aren’t of just one skin color or
limited to a few parts of the world.
Although Jews share a religion, they
come from all different ethnic back
grounds and live throughout the world.
And to give people a broader per
spective on Jewish culture, UNC Hillel
is sponsoring the Jewish Diversity Se
ries, a semester of programs spotlight
ing various Jewish communities around
the world.
As part of the series, diversity pro
grams this month will focus on Latin
American and Caribbean Jewry.
“Voyages to Freedom,” an exhibit
that highlights 500 years of Latin Ameri
can and Caribbean Jewry, will be dis
played from 10a.m. to4p.m. March 15-
19 at the Hillel House, 210 W. Cameron
St.
A Cuban dinner and a discussion on
Cuban Jewry led by UNC Professor
Rosa Perelmuter, a Cuban-bom Jew,
will be held at the Hillel House March
18.
UNC Hillel hopes the series will give
people a better understanding of Jewish
culture, said Toby Schonfeld, co-chair
woman of the Jewish Diversity Series
Committee.
“Even though we are one, we have
Newman said Student Congress had
too much financial power.
“These are student fees, and you have
a handful of students throwing money
around left and right. With all this
money, there just needs to be some
other process.”
Rep. Darren Allen, Dist. 21, said he
thought the budget cuts were a “shared
sacrifice” for campus organizations.
“Congress had $398,230 in requests,
and all we had to give out was $220,000,”
Allen said. “Basically, we had to cut
everything (the groups) requested in
half. What we tried to do was find things
the groups could live without.”
Rep. Eric Pratt, Dist. 27, said the
budget cuts expressed congress’ con
cern, that STV reached a limited per
centage of students. STV is available on
many different faces as Jews,” she said.
“We all have different cultures and tra
ditions which help us celebrate our Ju
daism.”
Many people, including some Jews,
do not know Jews come from various
ethnic backgrounds and have strong
communities throughout the world, said
Larry Bach, program director of N.(J.
Hillel. “When you think about Judaisn),
and you think about Jews, South
America, Latin America and the Carib
bean don’t usually come to mind.”
The “Voyages to Freedom” exhibit
consists of four blue cardboard kiosks
with four panels each, highlighting Jew
ish history in Latin America and the
Caribbean since 1492.
With words and pictures, “Voyages
to Freedom” traces the growth of the
Jewish community in Latin America
and the Caribbean from a small per
secuted group to a society of about
500,000 Jews today.
The first four panels focus on the
expulsion of Jews from Spain and their
search for religious freedom in the New
World, despite continued systemized
persecution.
Panels five through 12 focus on the
mass immigration to Latin America and
the Caribbean in the early 20th century.

a local community access station.
“We cut their budget because a lot ef
students we represent live on campus
and are not able to get STV,” Pratt said.
“It’s just for those who happen to get
cable, mainly off-campus students.
There were also concerns with how
many students actually watch it and
how many times the station is on the air.
Half of the students don’t even see the
programs.”
STV made plans to become a stron
ger organization before cable television
was installed in residence halls, but the
budget cuts scrapped these plans.
Newman said STV now used fund-rais
ing money to cover operating costs in
stead of using the funding to turn their
