UNIVERSITY & CITY 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 ville for two summers, said she valued Stone’s ability as an educator to relate to students as well as his wealth of personal experiences working with such important Local Church Hosts New Age Photographer BYTODD CRAWFORD STAFF WRITER Photographer andlecturerMarkTucker will give a multi-media performance Thurs day at the Unity Center of Peace. Tucker’s program has been seen in ven ues ranging from the Smithsonian Institute to the United Nations. Combining pro jected images of nature and people with “popular and well-known” music, Tucker tries to communicate that “we are all con nected to each other, ” said Helen Spielman, music director for the Unity Center of Peace. Tucker believed his message was im portant enough to leave his job 10 years ago.

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 dent of Chi Psi. 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.

Charles Overby, president of the Free dom Forum, also said Stone was well 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 ers previously honored with this presti gious award include former U.S. Supreme Court Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall, both of whom are regarded as pioneers in expanding the pro tection of free speech. Stone said he was honored to have been selected as an award winner. “I am honored to be in that kind of company,” Stone said. “I am ennobled by being associated with them.” Stone said that on the walls of his office their calling. Since the two established their company, Awakening Heart Productions, more than 300,000 people worldwide have seen Tucker’s presentations, according to the Unity Center of Peace. The Rev. Stephen Colladay, minister of the Unity Center of Peace, said he was excited about the fact that the upcoming show was an updated version of Tucker’s presentation. “It’s out of this world ... very moving and uplifting,” he said. “It captures you in a multi-sensory way. It is hard to describe (the show) into words.” Metaphysical authors and teachers, in cluding Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Ram Dass and Og Mandino, have acclaimed the pro gram. Mandino called it, “one of the most uplifting experiences I have had in my CONGRESS FROM PAGE 1 Jordan’s other memo cited Robert’s Rules as they applied to the motion to reconsiderthebill. Congress members have 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.” he had among photos of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Chavez —a personal letter from Marshall commend ing him for a column Stone had written. 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.” entire life.” People should leave the presentation feeling, “a sense of well-being and a sense of joy ... with a renewed awareness of beauty in nature and humankind, a loving ness and appreciation for life,” Spielman 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. The show is open to the general public. Although there is no set fee to attend, Unity Center ofPeace requests donations. “All memos, all rhetoric and all maneuvering are futile. The bill is law I signed it into law Thursday. ” GEORGE BATTLE 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 mentary tricks. “All memos, all rhetoric and all maneuvering are futile,'’ Battle said. “Thebillislaw —I signed the bill into law Thursday. The only voice that I will heed at this time is the voice of the Student Supreme Court.” The next step for Jordan and other op ponents would be to take Battle and co sponsor of the bill, Monica Cloud, to the Student Supreme Court where they would have to prove quorum. Rep. Jonathan Jus tice, Dirt. 21, said he was ready to defend the bill all the way to the Student Supreme Court. 900's CHOICE IS CHERIE'S CHOICE FOR LIVE PSYCHIC CALL 1-900-267-3053 $3.95 Min FOR UNC/NAT'L DATELINE CALL 1-900- 287-9112 $2.95 MIN CALLERS MUST BE 18 OR OLDER Need Another Historical Perspective?

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.” Full Color Copies 990 j, Good on plain white 81/2 xll copies. if Good until October 31,1994, C.O.
