World AIDS Day Aims to Increase Awareness
Panels of Famous Quilt, A
Day Without Art Among
Activities at University
BY NANCY FONTI
STAFF WRITER
A celebration to support AIDS aware
ness and to honor friends and family mem
bers who have been affected by AIDS
reached the entire campus Thursday as
part of World AIDS Day.
Two darkened art galleries, a display of
two panels of the AIDS quilt and a candle
light procession were only some of the
activities of World AIDS Day.
Ackland Art Museum celebrated A Day
Without Art, as the 20th century gallery

chancellor should address issues such as
faculty quality and pay, race relations, over
crowding in dorms and parking.
When asked what the chancellor’s top
priority should be, 68 percent voted that an
emphasis on administrative duties was very
important as opposed to an emphasis on
social action, which only 34 percent of
respondents considered very important.
“One of the things we want to come out
of this survey is an increase in interaction
between students and the committee,”
Sheehan said.
“This includes finding out if members
are conducting open forums and if they
will consider individual student letters,”
Ke said.
He also said that he would like to see the
opportunity for students to submit ques
tions to candidates in an anonymous fash
ion.
“Students, for example, could ask can
didates ‘A’ and ‘B’ what their stands are on
certain issues,” Sheehan said.
Student involvement in the search fora
new chancellor has been limited to the
Committee’s consultation with some stu
dent leaders.
“We also discussed what students have
been lacking in the past four or five years
under Chancellor Hardin, as well as how
Students can become more involved in the
search,” Sheehan said.
Although only 100 surveys were re
turned, he said he was pleased with the
response.
“What was more impressive than the
number of students who responded was
the number of people who want to become
further involved with the chancellor
search,” Sheehan said.
Many of those who did complete the
anonymous survey included their names
and phone numbers so they could be con
tacted, he added.

and a gallery that holds temporary exhibits
were darkened to commemorate all artists
who have died of AIDS. “Our aim is to
heighten awareness of AIDS and HIV,”
said Karen Baldwin, museum development
director. “The arts have been more af
fected by AIDS than any other profession.
“The 20th century gallery w?j chosen
because it is our century that has been
affected by AIDS,” she added.
The museum began celebrating A Day
Without Art four years ago. Last year, an
empty picture frame with one light focused
on it was featured by the museum.
“This is symbolic of what the world
would be like without art,” said Cynthia
Fredettee, a staff member at the museum.
“A Day Without Art is meant to com
memorate those lost talents.”
The museum also invited the AIDS
He said, “Several people typed addi
tional sheets in response to the questions
and attached them to the survey.”

Survey Results
The 100 students who turned in their
Campus Y survey responses cared more
about the age of Chancellor Paul Hardin's
successor than about his or her
educational background. Survey results
were sent Wednesday to each member
of the chancellor search committee,
which is reviewing potential candidates.

Although “there was a fair amount of
speculation,” the process was largely kept
secret, she said. Virginia’s freedom of in
formation act permits personnel searches
to be conducted in executive session.
Complete Access
Florida has one of the most liberal laws
in the nation regarding open meetings,
said Alan Stonecipher, public information
director for the Florida Board of Regents.
All aspects of the search process are
open to the public, from the names of those
who are initially considered to those who
make the final cuts, he said. The public
may attend interviews with the candidates.
Stonecipher said sitting presidents at
other universities had applied to the Uni
versity of Florida despite knowing that
their home universities would find out be
cause of the state’s open meeting laws.

someone who has died from AIDS or who

GLAD member who helped organize
World AIDS Day.
The organizations distributed informa
tion, condoms and red ribbons in the Pit on
Thursday. Two panels from a quilt that
represents 13 percent of the victims of
AIDS were also on display Tuesday in the
Great Hall. The quilt, sponsored by the
Names Project, is made of everything from
shirts to silk flowers and from carpet to
champagne glasses.
Anyone can make a quilt panel as a
memorial for someone who has died of the
AIDS virus, said Lynne Messer, a repre
sentative of the Department of Health Be
havior and Health Education. As of Nov.
1, 5,049,725 people had visited the quilt,
according to the Names Project.

The University of Texas at Austin re
leased the names of six finalists when the
school was searching for anew president in
1992, said UT research associate Rita
Stramel.
Stramel said she did not think naming
the finalists had created any career compli
cations forthem, but she noted that she had
heard of other cases where sitting univer
sity presidents had had to deny they were
seeking anew job when their interest in
another school surfaced publicly.
The University of Georgia last searched
for a president in 1987 under old state laws
that permitted a confidential search.
Last summer, however, the Georgia leg
islature passed a law requiring universities
to release the names of finalists, said uni
versity spokesman Tom Jackson.
Georgia Tech recently selected a leader
underthe newprocess, Jackson said. Geor
gia Tech officials were unavailable for com
ment Thursday.

Highlight African Festival
BY JAIME KOWEY
STAFF WRITER
When the African Students’ Associa
tion decides to hold a fund-raiser, it gets a
little more creative than selling Krispy
Kreme doughnuts or T-shirts.
The group will
host its second an
nual A Taste of Af

night Saturday at

The event will include an African fash

Isy Nwokoye, a freshman from
Amherst, Mass., and the president of the

the festival as “a smorgasbord of different
African cultures.”

proval from political advisers for the at
tack, there is some concern among Clinton
administration officials that Serbs might
retaliate. If that happens, the U.N. role in
the war could change.
Coalition Against Genocide member
Catherine Petrusz thinks that’s fine. “The
U.N. needs to enforce its own mandates
and protect the Bosnian citizens, ” she said,
adding that the lack of enforcement of
U.N. resolutions had led to unchecked
Serbian nationalist attacks. The United
Nations should attack Serbian supply lines
to help end attacks, Petrusz said.
While Coalition Against Genocide
doesn’t want the war to become more
intense, it does want an end to the Serbian
campaignofviolence. “TheU.N. and other
countries are using the stalemate as a way
to get out,” Petrusz said. She said U.N.
involvement in the war was limited to
concern for U.N. members and to contain
ing the war to the former Yugoslavia area.

of Africa, artwork and music, and “the
people that are going to be there are from
all comers of the continent,” Nwokoye
said.
A Taste of Africa originated last year
with the executive committee, first as a
fund-raiser but also to promote awareness
of different African cultures and to have a
good time, Nwokoye said.
“Ironically, (the festival) has fallen on
the last day of Kwanzaa,” Nwokoye said.
Although it was not planned, it will serve
as a merry conclusion for the African holi
day.
“We are using our own resources to put
it together,” Nwokoye said. Members of
the association will model their authentic
African clothing in an African fashion
show, and Olufunke Moses, a senior from
Durham and an ASA member, will read
her poetry and also some works from
Yoruba, a book of poems.
All of the selected poems will be about
Africa and African experiences, Moses said.
Nwokoye said she hoped the group
would also profit from the event by gaining
a stronger voice on campus.
Because her Jewish mother told stories
about Jews in the Holocaust, Dilley said
she often wondered how Americans could
have known about the reign of terror and
not acted on ending it.
The group is aware that atrocities are
being committed on both sides, but Serbian
unwillingness to negotiate has made the
group angry, Dilley said. “You have to ask
which side has an organized program of
rape and violence. Their programs are
aimed at destroying their identities.”
Besse went to the former Yugoslavia
two years ago to work. He stopped in
Sarajevo to learn firsthand about the war.
He decided to return to Sarajevo and
other Bosnian towns to interview natives.
“The pure violence of war is amazing, ”
he said. “On one hand, there are basic
needs deprivation. On the other, you never
know when the mortars are going to start
dropping.”
Beese will be featured from 5 p.m. to 7
p.m. Sunday on WXYC’s Northern Hemi
sphere Live, a talk-radio show. He said he
hoped to have a lot of callers.
