Cole said Stone’s course on censorship
especially embodied Stone’s enormous
belief in free expression and free speech.
“(Stone) is an evangelist for the things
he holds dear the inner-worth of the
individual, free expression, for standingup
for what you believe in,” Cole said.
Arati Korwar, a doctoral student in the
journalism school who took the censor
ship course, said Stone was an effective
professor.
“He had a way of discussing First
Amendment issues and censorship issues
that made the topic appealing to under
graduates,” Korwar said. “He is very en
gaging as a professor. He’s a veiy kind and
helpful person—to everyone, whether he
knows them or not.”
Korwar, who worked in the Freedom
Forum’s First Amendment Center in Nash

streets. Its goal was to reduce the amount
ofviolence by reducing the number of guns
in Chapel Hill.
“The important issue is that there should
not be any weapons on school campuses
not elementary, high school or univer
sity,” Woodall said.
The accident prompted Chi Psi to join
forces with the group and assist in fund
raising events.
“It was great for us to give something
back to the town, and it was also important
to us since we had a personal involve
ment,” said Craig Sny dal, the current presi

Donald Beeson, Chi Psi’s alumni ad
viser, behe ves the program was a good way
for the fraternity members to work through
some of the frustrations they had because
of the shooting.
“It is definitely a terrible tragedy for the
families involved and the man who owned
the gun,” Beeson said. “Obviously it is
something he will never get over. How
ever, I am sure the undergraduates at the
fraternity are relieved it is settled.”

Charles Overby, president of the Free

qualified to win the award.
“Chuck Stone is an incredible human
being. His spirit lights up every room he
walks into. He’s a terrific teacher and a
terrific journalist. He embodies everything
that the Freedom Forum stands for,”
Overby said.
Accordingto the release, Freedom-fight

Court Justices William Brennan and
Thurgood Marshall, both of whom are
regarded as pioneers in expanding the pro

selected as an award winner.

show was an updated version of Tucker’s
presentation.
“It’s out of this world ... very moving

Jordan’s other memo cited Robert’s
Rules as they applied to the motion to

taken sides on whether quorum was present
when the motion to reconsider the bill was
made.
A majority of congress members must
be present for quorum. Student Congress
has no legal authority without it.
Student Congress Parliamentarian Lee
Conner sent a memo Monday stating that
contrary to what Jordan had said, the bill
had been legally signed.
“I would assert that the bill was not on
the floor of congress because of a lack of
quorum when the vote was taken on the
Motion to Reconsider,” Conner’s memo
states.
Conner said Jordan’s response was an
attempt to undermine the parliamentarian’s
position. The parliamentarian’s duty is to
specialize in knowing Robert’s Rules and
parliamentary procedure.
“He is trying to chip away at any au
thority the position has,” Conner said.
“I’m not going to kill any more trees to
send another memo.”

Stone said he had elected to give SI,OOO
of his award money to each of three insti
tutions around the world: UNC’s School
of Journalism and Mass Communication,
Saratov State University in Russia and
Asmara University in Eritrea. Stone said
he spent last July in Eritrea setting up a
journalism department within the univer
sity there.
Stone said he had not even realized he
was being considered or even nominated
for the Free Spirit Award until he returned
home from Eritrea and found the con
gratulatory letter.
Stone said he perceived the award as an
honor to be credited to the University.
“The most important thing is that this is
a felicitous reflection on the University of
North Carolina,” he said, “It exemplifies
the kind of job we’re doing here.”

said.
The Unity Center of Peace, which is
celebrating its 10th anniversary in Chapel
Hill this fall, is “an informal progressive
new thought church with a very positive
approach to celebrating life and divinity,”
Spielman said.
The presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday. Unity Center ofPeace is located
at 5322 N.C. Highway 86, Chapel Hill.

Although there is no set fee to attend,

Student Body President
Conner and Armstrong both said they
were offended that although Jordan’s
memos concerned them, copies had never
been sent directly to them.
“I sent a copy of my memo to him in a
forthright, open manner,” Conner said. “I
don’t appreciate him going behind my
back.”
Battle said Jordan’s latest attempts to
stop the bill were simply the use of parlia

and all maneuvering are futile,'’ Battle
said. “Thebillislaw —I signed the bill into

The next step for Jordan and other op

Student Supreme Court where they would
have to prove quorum. Rep. Jonathan Jus

Conference
Tests News
Technology
Newsroom Advances Will
Undergo a Trial Run in
Chapel Hill Next Week
BYDAN DEFRANCO
STAFF WRITER
The latest in newsroom technology will
be put to use for the first time by designers,
editors and photographers from all over
the world at next week’s sixth annual Elec
tronic Times Conference.
The weeklong conference, sponsored
by the National Press Photographers As
sociation, will begin Friday at file Omni
Europa Hotel.
Richard Beckman, education chairman
of the conference and a professor in the
School of Journalism and Mass Commu
nication, said the conference gave profes
sionals a chance to try out the most recent
newsroom advances.
“The major purpose of the conference is
for us to test equipment in real newsroom
situations from a wide range of assign
ments.”
A staff of 30 members, including nine
UNC students, will start the three-day pro
cess of building an “electronic newsroom
of the future” to be on display in the ball
room of the hotel, Beckman said.
Approximately 120 designers, editors
and photographers from around the world
will have access to the latest digital tech
nologies at this futuristic newsroom Sun
day.
“Groups of vendors will attend this con
ference and bring their newest gear for
people to experiment with, ” Beckman said.
Digital transmission of information,
digital cameras and the latest versions of
software are some of the new technologies
that will be presented at the conference, he
said.
The designers, photographers and edi
tors will be split up into groups where they
will have separate assignments.
The news each group produces using
the new technologies will be featured in a
32-page newspaper printed by the Durham
Herald-Sun, Beckman said.
The Herald-Sun’s donation of a print
ing press and a favorable showing by UNC
students at a previous conference made
Chapel Hill a good location for this year’s
conference.
“One of the reasons we are able to have
the conference in Chapel Hill is due to the
use of a good quality printing press that
was donated by the DurhamHerald-Sun,”
Beckman said.
Two years ago, the workshop was held
in Williamsburg, Va., where three UNC
students attended and worked with the
latest technological advances in the news
room. Beckman said the students made an
outstanding impression at the conference
and definitely contributed toward the se
lection of this year’s conference location.
“These students were said to have done
an excellent job, and the staff was im
pressed with their work,” Beckman said.
He also said the amount of student in
terest in the area was an advantage to
having the conference in Chapel Hill.
“The staff prefers to have the confer
ence near universities," he said. “The abil
ity to have students attend these confer
ences is an added bonus.”
In addition to its educational value,
Beckman said the Electronic Times Con
ference was also meant to be a source of the
newest media technology.
“Moving towards digital technology is
a slow process, though, but The (Raleigh)
News & Observer is starting to replace
darkrooms with computers.”
