UNC Greeks Give Sick Children a Hand At Chapel Hill Ronald McDonald House BYROSSTAYLOR STAFF WRITER Cupcakes for Susan and her older brother, Tony. A run from Wilmington to Chapel Hill for Beth. And a softball tournament for Johnny. These are only a few of the many contri butions that UNC Greeks have given to “the house that love built,” the Ronald McDonald House. While the image of the Greek system might bring thoughts ofband parties, drink ing and late nights, it means help in a time of great need for many children, their fami lies and the Chapel Hill Ronald McDonald House. Since its opening in 1988, the Ronald McDonald House and UNC Greeks have worked together to provide support to fami lies with children under 18 years old re ceiving medical attention at UNC Hospi tals. Giving anything from their time to money, Greeks are an important part of the operation of the house, which provides families of children staying at the hospital not only a place to stay, but also friends and support during a difficult time. “They’ve been a tremendous asset to the house overthe years, ” said Ellen Crow, director of development and public rela tions. “Ithinkit’sgreattoseetheircommit ment to helping out the house and the families.” In 1988, Greeks began their involve ment with the house by holding fund- rais ers to help pay for construction of the house. In the following years, Greeks helped the house with a variety of volun teer work. “They help do all kinds of things, ” Crow said. “They may work with public rela tions, helping out with the newsletter, or Reserve Tickets Now for Bicentennial Events STAFF REPORT Though all Bicentennial events are free, students, alumni and members of the pub lic who have Carolina Fever can guarantee a spot in the audience for the observance ceremonies Oct. 11-12.

Scott Dupree, communications direc tor for the Bicentennial Observance Of fice, said all events would be open to the public, but people with reserved seats will be assured a place in the audience. “When Oct. 12 rolls around, there may be no seats available, but there may be events where there are tons available,” Dupree said.

It was a good feeling knowing that I helped those families in some small way.” TRAVIS MONTGOMERY Member of Alpha Phi Omega fraternity ganizing special events and fund raisers.” She also said many Greeks had served as house volunteers, or interns, or had helped to cook for the resident families. “I think it goes real well when a group comes to cook for a family,” Crow said. “It helps provide a support network for the families, which are going through one of the toughest situations you could possibly*- go through. It definitely maVfes a attet*’ ence.” Travis Montgomery, ajuniorfrom Char lotte and a member of die Alpha Phi Omega fraternity, volunteered last year as a public relations intern, organizing events and fund-raisers for the promotion of the house. “I really enjoyed last year," Montgom ery said. “It was a good feeling knowing that I helped those families in some small way.” Montgomery hopes to continue volun teering for the house and plans to work with the charity as long as he lives near a Ronald McDonald House. “Anything I can do to make house life a little easier for the families is a neat thing, ” Montgomery said. “There’s just such an incredible family atmosphere there.” Besides volunteering at the house, Greeks hold many fund-raisers, including annual events Slugfest and the Hinton James Run. fffpij!

Last year, the frater nity raised about $3,500, all of which went to the house. “I think it’s a great charity,” said Kevin Corcoran, a senior from Greensboro and the fraternity’s philanthropy co-chairman last year. The Ronald McDonald House is the fraternity’s national philanthropic project, and the fraternity has worked with the local house since its opening. “It gives us a chance to give back to the community,” Corcoran said. “We’re glad to be raising money for a local charity and to keep it here. We have a good time doing it.” Corcoran added that members of the Delta Zeta sorority had helped with the event. *. , ' v jT V .

Greene said the sorority planned to continue supporting the house. The Ronald McDonald House is also the national philanthropic project for Al pha Delta Pi.

Jesse Jackson visited UNC and offered to help students create the first student branch of the Rainbow Coalition for Fairness in Athletics, the movement is dead, UNC athletes say. “It’s nonexistent. We haven’t contin ued it,” said Jimmy Hitchcock, a football player Jackson enliked to lead the organi zation during his mid-April campus visit. Hitchcock refused to comment further about the group. John Bradley, another football player who had been involved in the movement, confirmed that the UNC effort probably had ended. “It hasn’t crystallized the way Jackson talked about it,” he said. Bradley, who also is president of the Black Student Movement, said communi cation between the Rainbow Coalition and UNC athletes had broken down when stu dents went home for the summer. Former professional football player and Jackson aide Kellen Winslow was sup posed to serve as a liaison between the Rainbow Coalition and the athletes’ group. But Bradley said Wednesday he hadn't heard from Winslow since Jackson’s visit. On the national level, Jackson’s efforts to help athletes were effective, he said. “I’m not really disappointed (about the Rules and Judiciary Panel Approves SBP’s Nominees BY MARTY MINCHIN SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR The Rules and Judiciary Committee of Student Congress voted to recommend fa vorably to the full congress Student Body President Jim Copland’s appointments to the Undergraduate Honor Court and his choices for the chief justice of the Student Supreme Court and the Elections Board vice chairman.

The Rules and Judiciary Committee also voted favorably for Shane Stutts, Copland's appointment for chief justice of the Student Supreme Court. The Summer Student Congress had approved Stutts as chief justice to replace second-year law student Mark Bibbs, but the Student Code requires that summer appointments be reconfirmed in the fall. Bibbs now is a member of the UNC Board of Governors. Stutts, who served on Student Congress for two terms, explained to the committee why he wanted the position. At a congress meeting last spring, the group voted not to confirm former Con gress Speaker Jennifer Lloyd as chief jus tice. Congress debated Lloyd’s appointment for over an hour in a heated session. At that meeting, Stutts said he did not want the position. “That evening I felt very uneasy being singled out at a meeting where I was thrust into a position that was almost like a horse race,” Stutts said.

She said she didn’t know if any students from UNC attended that meeting. Hitchcock and Bradley also said they didn’t know of any UNC students who went. “Each state was asked to pull people together,” Lynch said. “When that hap pened there were many other concerns.” The students made a general statement about the future of the Rainbow Coalition of the Carolinas at the meeting, she said. “It’s all going to be Rainbow, but com mittees will branch out rather than trying to have five divisions.” Lynch, who initially said Wednesday that “the priority is still to get the coalition with the athletes,” indicated that other issues, including the death of a black Con cord man, had distracted the coalition. The committee gave SHANE STUTTS the nod for chief justice. Stutts said that last spring he did not think he would have the time for the job, butthisyearalighter course load allowed him to take the po sition. His job as a resi dent assistant in Granville Towers has given him valu able experience that he can use as chief justice, Stutts said. “Working as an RA has made me more aware of how to communicate my ideas and how to deal with people,” he said.
