2 Thursday, November 18,1993 ‘American Pictures’ Shows Unique View of Underclass BY WENDY MITCHELL ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR A different perspective on life in the United States will be presented tonight through a multi-media event featuring the work of a photographer who hitchhiked across the nation for five years. "American Pictures” combines music, personal narrative and images of the Ameri can underclass by photographer Jacob Holdt. The presen tation is sponsored by the Carolina Union Critical Is sues Committee as part of Human Rights Week. “It presents a re ally interesting view of America that we don’t often see,” said junior Mike Klompas, chairman Human Rights ;W; Weak L ;uM nuUH v 1993 l Mj of the critical issues committee Holdt, a former Danish vagabond, hitch hiked more than 100,000 miles in his jour ney and lived in more than 400 homes. He sold his blood to purchase film. His images concentrate on the position of the black underclass in America. “He saw America in a nontourist man ner, getting to know the nation as a whole According to statistics these are the years you'll do the majority ~ , of your w heavy gp breathing. \\ So when you’re finally next to the one.

Holdt stayed with some of the richest families and the poorest families, from the Rockefellers to sharecroppers. Healsowent to Ku Klux Klan meetings, joined the re bellion at Wounded Knee and witnessed the assassination of his friends. Although the concept has been around since Holdt toured the United States in the ’7os, the project still continues. “He has chosen to drive down to Chapel Hill to visit some people he met while touring earlier, and he will also be taking more photographs. He’s continually up dating his message,” Klompas said. Because “American Pictures” presents a controversial viewpoint, Klompas said people often leave with questions. These will be addressed at a workshop with the photographer Friday. “The workshop will be an informal opportunity to interact with the photographer ... to clarify your own understanding,” Klompas said. “American Pictures” was selected Out standing Film of the Year by the London Film Festival and was shown at the Cannes Film Festival. It has been seen at more than 100 American colleges. The presentation will be at 7 p.m. today in Memorial Hall. The workshop will be at noon Friday in Union 211 and 212. Both events are free and open to the public.

VISITATION FROM PAGE 1 should be able to avoid open visitation if they want to. Housing directors also say they are con cerned with the effect that open visitation might have on roommate comfort. Brad Reid, ASU’s director of residence life, re quires residents to attend programs to teach them how to resolve roommate conflicts stemming from the visitation policy. At UNC-G and several other schools, roommates must create an agreement to decide what is permissible under the open visitation policy. The effect of different visitation policies on dorm security also is an issue for resi dence hall officials. Many schools have elaborate security schemes that require guests to page their host, leave identifica tion with the dorm office and be escorted throughout the dorms. At Duke University, which has an open visitation policy in all halls, areas in dorms are given different levels of security, said John Duncan, service manager in the de partment of housing. Access to each area is NAFTA FROM PAGE 1 House. Opponents vented their anger over concessions the administration made to line up votes. “If this is such a good deal, why did we almost have to give the portico away on the White House to get it?” said Rep. Butler Derrick, D-S.C. House Speaker Thomas Foley, D- Wash., who spoke last, conceded the pact wasn’t perfect. <Hl|p Saily Glar llppl controlled by Duke card-readers in each area. Overall, no housing officials said open visitation had lowered security. UNC-G’s Tomlinson said, “We were concerned (before implementing open visi tation) there would be a lessening of secu rity, but it’s been just the opposite.” Those schools that have changed their policy to allow 24-hour visitation for the opposite sex seem to think they have moved in the right direction. Of the 10 UNC system schools that do not offer a 24-hour visitation option, no housing officials said they planned to change their policy soon. But students at several of the schools have requested change, officials say. Tim Luckadoo, director of housing and residence life at N.C. State University, which does not allow 24-hour visitation, said the university probably would not change its policy. “This is about as far as the school is willing to go,” he said. At schools with open visitation in place, the mood often was different. “I don't think it’ll min your moral fiber not as much as Franldin Street will,” said Duke’s Duncan. “One can always find defects and defi ciencies,” he said. “But this is, for this moment, an opportunity to expand our trade, to reach out beyond our borders, to continue our leadership, to seize the fu ture.” Union workers and other foes of NAFTA staged one final, forlorn rally in the rain outside the Capitol. Some held up a banner that read: “That giant sucking sound—pro-NAFTA careers, 11-3-94,” a reference to determination to defeat NAFTA supporters in next year’s congres sional elections. “We are on the right side of this issue,” said AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland in a post-vote statement. A knot of Greenpeace demonstrators briefly disrupted the House debate in late afternoon, raining mock dollar bills down on debating lawmakers. Four protesters were arrested. Supporters said the agreement would open up a vast new Mexican market to American goods. Opponents said the cer tain result was a loss of jobs as American firms move to Mexico to take advantage of lower wages, and lax worker safety and environmental regulations. Negotiated by the Bush administration and modified through side agreements by the Clinton administration, the pact turned customary political alliances on their heads. Republican leaders said in advance that they stood ready to provide a majority of the votes needed for passage —as long as Democrats delivered 100oftheir258 mem bers —and noted ironically that Clinton would be the principal political benefi ciary. Democrats delivered 102 votes. Democrats were more deeply split, as two senior House leaders and dozens of labor-backed lawmakers broke with their president. Opponents seemed to hold the upper hand in the NAFTA struggle until the final few days. By then, persistent efforts to appease Congress’ concerns over local is sues began to pay off, resulting in a rush of support for the pact. Many of the late agreements were de signed to protect specific industries from harm as Mexican goods were allowed into the country —products ranging from win ter tomatoes to wheat to flat glass to tex tiles.
