FROM STAFF REPORTS Students Sacrifice Extra Sleep to Clean Up for Charity BY MICHELLE CRAMPTON STAFF WRITER On a typical Saturday morning, most students don’t voluntarily get up at 9 a.m. to do manual labor. But this Saturday, some students did just that. In an attempt to aid those suffering from hunger and homelessness, to provide ser vice to the local community, and to pro mote awareness on campus, HOPE, the Hunger and Homelessness Outreach Project, sponsored the University’s sev DTH/CHRJS GAYDOSH Veterinarian Basil Pshyk of the Vine Veterinary Hospital gives a rabies booster shot to one of many pets Saturday.

Bill Could Make Towns Pay for Rezoned Land BY LAURA GODWIN STAFF WRITER A bill in the N.C. house that could change the way local municipalities regu late property use has area residents and town officials up in arms about the future of land development. House Bill 597 is referred to as a “tak ings” bill. If passed by the House, the bill would require towns to pay landowners for possible monetary loss if the towns de cided to “downzone” land. Downzoning occurs when the town re stricts the use of the property, as in the case of commercial zone land being changed to residential zone land. “It’s a very compli cated plan,” Canboro Town Manager Bob Morgan said. Women Hit Gridiron to Raise Funds BYJAIMEKOWEY STAFF WRITER Female Inter Varsity Christian Fellow ship members did an odd thing to tackle their fund-raising problems: they played a good, old-fashioned, smash ’em up game of football.

Proceeds from a raffle and a T-shirt sale associated with the event will be used to give members scholarships for their an nual summer retreat at Windy Gap Camp near Asheville.

SARR Co-chairman Mike McWilliams said the purpose of Race Relations Week was to get students interested in race rela tions and to work through some of the prejudices and stereotypes. “Race relations is a topic many people are concerned with, but it is a sensitive issue,” McWilliams said. “Few people actually confront their own beliefs in that issue.” The dialogue/diversity workshop will be held today to allow students to discuss race relations at the University and in soci ety at large. “The workshops provide a structure in which students can talk about being a mem ber of a religious, racial or any group that speaker Holli Levinson from the “Empty the Shelter” organization in Atlanta. Levinson told the workers before they reported to their sites that it was important to recognize that tough issues could not be ignored by students. “As students, sometimes we think it’s not about us and that it’s about other people,” Levinson said. “But it’s not that way. The issues of homelessness and pov erty are really very much connected to us and the community.” Cindy Toms, a junior from Cary and co Former N.C. Chief Justice Speaks At Di-Phi's 200th BY ADAM GUSMAN UNIVERSITY EDITOR Former N.C. Supreme Court Chief Jus tice James Exum delivered the keynote speech Saturday as part of the celebration of the Dialectic and Philanthropic Literary Societies’ bicentennial. UNC ’ s two oldest student oiganizations celebrated their2oo-year presence at UNC during the weekend by reuniting with old members to debate and to reminisce about the storied history of the Societies. Exum, an alumnus of the University and of the Philanthropic Society, spoke about the traditions that Di-Phi had up held at the University for many years. “The names ofthe Dialectic and Philan thropic Societies were once synonymous with the University,” said Exum, a native of Snow Hill who also served as president of the General Alumni Association. The Dialectic and Philanthropic Societ ies have served as a forum for students interested in debate since 1795, when they were the Debating Society and the Con cord Society. “The Debating Society was created within months of Hinton James’ arrival,” Exum said. Members of Di-Phi played an impor tant role in developing the University’s curriculum and in constructing the librar ies, Exum said. “In the first 100 years ofthe University, the Di and Phi societies representing almost the entire student body had great influence over the curricu lum," he said. Di-Phi members called for new courses and pressed successfully for larger meeting halls, Exum said. “They established the groundwork for the Honor Code, student independence and student government,” he said. has caused them disrespect,” McWilliams said. He said SARR had been holding similar workshops throughout the year. He said attendance had ranged from 15 to 50people. Questions that usually come up during the workshops include what students take pride in within their group, what is differ ent about their group, what misconcep tions students would like to clear up about their group and how students’ ideologies have changed since arriving at UNC. The N.C. Student Teach and Reach program, in which University students visit local middle schools and facilitate discus sion about various race-related subjects, will hold a training session Tuesday. It hopes to start training students no w for the fall semester, he said. McWilliams said he was hoping for a big crowd at the forum on interracial dat ing Wednesday.

The topic of Coles’ speech was “Teaching as* Public Service.” Coles touched on his experiences as an undergraduate at* Harvard University, and he asserted that high intelligence did not' necessarily mean high moral standards. He also spoke about the' need for students to broaden their education through experiences' outside the classroom. ’■ “Coles was just remarkable, ” said Rachel Willis, a lecturer in, economics. - T Joy Kasson, professor of American studies, and Chuck Stone,; professor of journalism and mass communication, responded to- Coles. Following the keynote address, three panel discussions took' place. * The first panel discussion was “The Value of Teaching and the Teaching of Values.” - * The afternoon panel discussion focused on the topic of “Teach-. ing the Arts and Humanities Is a Public Service." Joel Schwartz, professor of political science, said the ideas; generated during this part of the conference were the highlights of •' the day. The topic produced a discussion among those attending about ~ poor critical thinking skills in students, as well as about faculty * incentives to choose teaching over research. Schwartz said students were unable to leam the thinking and ’ See TEACHING, Page 5 Monday, April 10,1995 chairwoman of HOPE, said the event was very good at fulfilling many goals at once. “Our goals were to educate the campus and community and as many volunteers as we can get about homelessness and the social agencies and programs that are around Qtapel Hill every day,” Toms said. “It also raises money for hunger and homelessness.” In addition, the Hunger Geanup pro vided needed services to local organiza- See HUNGER, Page 4 Di-Phi has served as a stronghold for free speech, Exum said. “They have stood for the right of everyone, even those in the minority, to speak their mind,” he said. He cited two examples from the 19th century in which Di-Phi members had taken a stand against censorship. In 1813, all speeches had to be cleared by the University’s president. William Shepherd, a senior Di-Phi member from New Bern, gave his speech without the president’s recommended changes. The president, viewing Shepherd’s speech as too harsh toward England, suspended him and 25 others, Exum said. Then, in 1859, Di-Phi members invited John Hughes, the Roman Catholic arch bishop of New York, to speak at the Uni versity despite public outcry against his controversial support of state funding for parochial schools, Exum said. Di-Phi has also encouraged more per sonal values and traditions such as per sonal responsibility for one’s conduct, he said. “These traditions, if implemented in our times .couldbeatonicforoursoriety.” The bicentennial celebration also fea tured a historical debate on whether the study of ancient texts was a necessary com ponent of an education at the University. This was the first topic debated by the Debating Society, in June 1795. The weekend’s events also included a panel discussion on the topic of how much student life has changed in the past 100 years, featuring Di-Phi members, alumni and UNChistory Professor Harry Watson. A time capsule of Di-Phi memorabilia was also on display until Saturday after noon, when it was sealed. Leigh Anne Kasias, a senior member of Di-Phi, said, “Hopefully, it will be opened at the tricentennial.” Race Rebtnns Week Monday, 6 p.m. - 8 p.m., Dialogue/ ] Diversity Workshop at the Green- Room, first floor Ehringhaus .•.
