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.
