UNC Green Games Prompt Conservation

Biased, Says
B-GLAD
Members Say Signator
Lyon Intentionally Left
Town Before Deadline •
BY KATHRYN TAYLOR
STAFF WRITER
Tensions have remained high between
members of Bisexuals, Gay men, Lesbians
and Allies for Diversity and Student Con
gress members since B-GLAD encoun
tered problems getting funding from con
gress’ Student Finance Committee last
spring.
B-GLAD was required to get all re
quests for funds signed by both the finance
committee chairman and the student body
treasurer. As the end of the fiscal year and
the May 15 deadline for campus organiza
tions to spend allocated funds approached,
finance committee Chairman Tom Lyon
was not available to sign the group’s last
minute requests.
Doug Ferguson, a graduate student and
a member of B-GLAD, wrote a letter to
Lyon on May 11 accusing him of purpose
fully avoiding B-GLAD’s attempts to get
its requisitions signed before the May 15
deadline.
“It is my belief and the beliefs of several
members of B-GLAD that we have been
denied funding because of moral and reli
gious objections to our group,” he said.
“We know we’re contributing to the
student body. We’re providing support for
gay and lesbian students on campus, and
we pqy our student fees, so we feel we
deserve to get a part of those fees back.”
Ferguson said Lyon, who had left
Chapel Hill for the summer in early May,
had not returned urgent phone calls from
B-GLAD concerning the requisitions.
Meredith Armstrong, a member of the
finance committee, said she was concerned
that Lyon might have acted inappropri
ately by abruptly leaving Chapel Hill so
close to the end of the fiscal year and
effectively abandoning his duties to the
student government.
“If what Doug Ferguson alleges is true,
that Tom was intentionally unavailable to
sign the requisitions for B-GLAD, I see
that as an ethical violation ofhis position
as Student Finance Committee chair,” she
said.
Campus organizations are required to
get approval before spending funds that
have been allocated to them by Student
Congress. A late requisition must be issued
if an organization spends its funds without
getting prior approval from the finance
committee.
After a group has accumulated three or
more late requisitions, representatives of
that group will be called before the finance
committee. B-GLAD was called for late
requisitions to a meeting which was held
April 18.
At that meeting, the finance committee
passed a motion requiring B-GLAD to
have both the finance committee chairman
and the student body treasurer sign any
future requisitions for the remainder of the
fiscal year.

Former Adviser Discusses World Politics
BY JENNIFER ADAMS
STAFF WRITER
Zbigniew Brzezinski, former National
Security Adviser to President Carter, out
lined his vision of America’s role in the
new global economy at the George Watts
Hill Alumni Center on Tuesday evening.
He addressed a crowd of about 100
members of the UNC community as part
of the Weatherspoon Distinguished Fac
ulty Scholar Lecture Series of the Kenan-
Flagler Business School.
The simplicity of foreign policy during
the Cold War has given way to a time of
complexity and confusion and a great deal
of political uncertainty, Brzezinski said.
“The end of the Cold War has pro
foundly transformed the context in which
foreign policy is made and the nature of
foreign policy... The question arises: what
should the nature of American foreign
policy be?” he said.
Brzezinski said the the role of the United
States today was more important than ever
because it was the only remaining super
power in the world.
In formulating American foreign policy
in the coming decades, Brzezinski said he
recommended focusing on four key di
mensions of policy: promoting geopoliti
cal stability, obtaining an open world trad
ing system, sustaining the primacy of
American power, and projecting truly ap
pealing and relevant human values to the
rest of the world.
According to Brzezinski, the future of
Eurasia Europe, Russia, the Far East
and the Middle East must remain the
central geopolitical consideration of the
United States.
“Geopolitical pluralism must become

When the home is finished in the spring,
Rone will move in with his wife, Agnes,
and his 7-year-old daughter, Lessie.
Habitat for Humanity draws volunteers
from community groups together to build
homes for needy families.

is that it’s only recycling,” he said. “It’s
also energy and water. Everyone is a par
ticipant whether they know it or not.”
Buckley said judging was based on
monthly reports obtained from the recy
cling office and the Physical Plant. The
reports are then compared to the corre
sponding month of the previous year to
gauge improvement. The winner is deter
mined using the results.

the enduring policy in relation to the non-
Russian states,” he said.
American goals should be to maintain
commitment in seeking the stability of al
lies, to create conditions to pacify ethnic
tensions and to sustain the effort to convert
former dictatorships to democracies.
Brzezinski also said promoting the suc
cess of the Far East had to regain priority in
American foreign policy.
“We have slighted the reality of the
power politics which have resurfaced in
the Far East,” he said.
He characterized the future of the re

control of the Persian Gulf was essential to
the security of Europe and the United
States. He said a direct exercise of U.S.
power would require major resources but
would reduce the sources of conflict in the
region and anti-American hostility.
“We must dilute fundamental fanati
cism," he said. “If not, the region is bound
to be unstable.”
Brzezinski said the expansion and en
couragement of world trading should be
an essential part ofAmerican foreign policy.
The final question Brzezinski addressed
was that of the relevance and substance of
Western values. Having defeated the to
talitarian challenge of the Soviet Union in
the name of liberty and democracy, the
United States is increasingly viewed as
projecting the values of consumerism and
hedonism, he said.
According to Brzezinski, America will
be increasingly judged on its morality in a
more intimate global community.
“We must project meaningful values,
positive values,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of pro
jecting positive values that had “legitimacy
and appeal.”
He said that in the aftermath of the Cold
War the need for American leadership was
just as great as it had been before.
Brzezinski also fielded questions about
Bosnia, Cuba, Latin America and the IRA.
Dennis Rondinelli, a professor of inter
national business and director of the Cen
ter for Global Business Research in the
Kenan Institute, said the speech provided
a framework in which future businessmen
could work.
“It is important to understand just how
changes in the global system may effect
your company,” he said.
Families selected for the homes must
put 300 hours of sweat equity into the

The homes are usually built for families
living in substandard housing, with over
crowded conditions or in dangerous neigh
borhoods, Levy said. The family’s yearly
income must also fall between sl2,oooand
$25,000, she said.

Groups Meet
On Women's
Issues at UNC
Two Campus Organizations
Hold Interest Meetings,
Discuss Resource Center
BY SARAH BAHNSON
STAFF WRITER
Campus women’s issues came to the
forefront Tuesday night at meetings of the
student government Women’s Issues Com
mittee and the Women’s Issues Network.
The two separate meetings centered
around introducing women’s concerns to
interested parties and discussing the need
for a women’s center.
According to Joan Petit and Susan
Covington, co-secretaries of the student
government Women’s Issues Committee,
the meeting was an introductory meeting
to address areas of the campus in which
women need more empowerment and rep
resentation.
“The committee will work towards set
ting the standards for what the student
government will do for women's issues,”
Petit said Tuesday.
Because this is the first year for a
women’s issues committee in the student
government, Petit said, the issues addressed
will be dictated by the interests expressed
at the meeting, and the possibilities are
endless.
The committee will also collaborate with
the other women’s groups on campus to
give them the support of the student gov
ernment.
“This is the first time I know of that
student government has addressed
women’s issues at this university, and it’s
been a long time in coming,” Petit said.
“We will be working to improve the status
of women at UNC.”
The meeting of the Women’s Issues
Network addressed the concept of a
women’s center.
The center is in very formative stages,
according to co-chairwoman Susan
Covington.
Katie Hultquist, who also serves as WIN
co-chairwoman, was unavailable for com
ment Tuesday.
The idea of a women's center was pre
sented to UNC administrators last fall, but
they have not yet decided to form a task
force.
Duke University and N.C. State Uni
versity already have women’s centers to
centralize the women’s issues groups on
campus, and WIN is looking for a similar
setup.
“We are just asking for a small resource
center, not a building, to study the needs of
women on campus that are not being met
and then how to meet those needs,”
Covington said.
According to Covington, the Univer
sity is the only large research institution
that does not have a women’s resource
center.
The committee would like to establish a
temporary student-run center with a vol
unteer staff, which would run for only
short periods each day, until administra
tors reach a decision on establishing a
permanent center.
“It’s not that hard to envision,” Petit
said. “We’re not asking for a whole build
ing, just some space where we can bring
together all of the campus women’s
groups.”
Members of both groups said they were
encouraged by the rise in involvement in
women’s issues on campus and hope the
interest at UNC continues to be high so
activities for women will be successful this
year.
“This campus is 60 percent women,”
Covington said. “There are very few
women on the Board of Trustees, before
last year there were no female chancellors
in the whole UNC system, and before this
year there were very few women in the
studentgovemment and congress, andonly
10 percent of the tenured faculty were
women.
“We hope that these committees can do
something about that.”

Moyer said she attended Habitat for
Humanity’s Southeastern regional confer
ence in Spartanburg, S.C., last weekend.
She described the event as inspirational
and said she had especially enjoyed a ser
mon given by Millard Fuller, founder of
Habitat for Humanity. “It really got the
meaning behind Habitat for Humanity
across,” Moyersaid. “We are not building
houses, we’re building homes. People like
the thought of providing for needy people,
and Habitat is a wonderful way to do it.”
