Journalist Wicker to Speak Thursday STAFF REPORT Former New York Times syndicated columnist Tom Wicker will return to his North Carolina roots by delivering the spring 1995 Reed Sarratt Lecture at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in the Hanes Art Center auditorium. The speech, presented by the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, is free and open to the public. Wicker is one of the most highly re garded journalists ever to earn a degree from UNC. The Hamlet native graduated from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication in 1948 and soon became editor of The Sandhill Citizen in Aber deen. He also worked for The Robesonian in Lumberton, the Winston-Salem Jour nal, The Tennessean of Nashville, Tenn., and the N.C. Board of Public Welfare before starting at the Times in 1960. He served as a Washington correspon dent forthe Times in the early 1960 sand in UNC Dancers to Grace Memorial Stage BY ION GOLDBERG FEATURES EDITOR The 20 or so members of UNC Modemextension dance company ha ve put in countless hours of practice this semester to perfect their moves. This weekend, they’ll finally have the chance to strut their stuff in front of an audience. The modem dance group will perform at Memorial Hall at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $6 and can be pur chased at the Carolina Union Box Office. “All the dancers in the group are very well skilled and have had lots of training,” said Marian Turner Hopkins, founder and adviser of Modemextension. “They’re wonderful performers.” Attendance at shows in previous years has been somewhat lackluster, usually tal lying about 300 people per show. This year, the group hopes to attract about 500 each night. "We’re always in competition with something,” Hopkins said. “This time of year is busy; there are lots of programs simultaneously. At least there’s not a game or something like that.” Hopkins hopes that the allure of mod Supermarket Technology Helps Find Lost Pets BYSANDRAMOSER STAFF WRITER The technology that has effectively short ened the amount of time consumers spend in line at the supeimarket can now aid in the identification oflost or abandoned pets. The process involving the insertion of a tiny microchip into the nape of an animal’s neck has been widely used on the West Coast for the past five years and has re cently become available to pet owners in North Carolina. The microchip generates a code that, once read by a scanner, pro vides information about the pet and its owners. The microchip scanning process is not meant to take the place of identification tags. “When an animal is lost, often the iden tification tags are lost, too, and those ani mals that have been tattooed on their ears sometimes have their ears cut off, ” said Pat Sanford, the executive director of the Ani mal Protection Society of Orange County. Only 1 percent of the dogs and cats that come into the animal shelter each year even have collars with tags. The implantation is said to be no more SPEAKOUT FROM PAGE 1 Lineberger stressed that students must not act passively as the semester comes to an end. “If you do care, then by God you better stand up and say something because they’re not listening,” he said. “We can’t let them pass this behind our backs.” Nathan Darling, student body treasurer, said the budget cuts would adversely affect the students, faculty and staff of UNC. “The North Carolina General Assem bly no longerprioritizes higher education,” he said. “They no longer see the need to fund the University.” He said the cuts were unnecessary in this time of economic prosperity. Hitchcock said she was more pleased with Tuesday’s turnout than the turnout at a similar speakout Monday. “I was really glad we had a couple of students who gave their input,” she said. Student and faculty leaders plan to con tinue their efforts today in the rally in Polk Place. According to Mohan Nathan, stu- WEDNESDAY NOON Global Jeopardy will be held in the Pit for Earth Week.

He covered the 1963 shooting death of Presi dent Kennedy while on assignment in Dallas. In 1966, he started writing his column “In the Nation," which appeared in about 200 newspapers nationwide. He retired from column writing to concentrate on writing books and speaking engagements. “Tom is in the mold of traditional lib eral journalists such as Charles Kuralt and David Brinkley,” said Richard Cole, dean of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. "They have a wealth of wisdom and facility with language.” Wicker is also the author of 14 books, including “One of Us: Richard Nixon and the American Dream," “OnPress” and “A Time to Die, ” which chronicles an inmate revoltatNew York’s Attica prison in 1971. Wicker helped negotiate an agreement between prisoners, New York correctional officers and former N.Y. Gov. Nelson em dance will attract people to the show. The dancers, led by five student choreogra phers and guest choreographer Irva Hertz- Piccioto, an assistant professor of epidemi ology, will vary their selections from the abstract to the more socially relevant. The group will also use classical and contem porary music, the spoken word, and a variety of props to stage the two-hour show. “Modem dance is entertaining and gives people food for thought,” Hopkins said. “There are pieces that are social commen tary. Their objective is to speak out on some social issue.” Modemextension was founded in 1988 as an outlet for students who were inter ested in modem dance. The company was honored in 1991 at the American College Dance Festival, where Hopkins' original work was chosen as the finale to the festival's Gala Performance. One of the obstacles that successful modem dancers face is combining physi cal and emotional elements in their perfor mance. The UNC company spent many hours perfecting the movements of each routine and has just recently been able to integrate the proper emotions into the moves. “A lot of things we’ve been working on painful than a routine vaccination, and there has been no evidence of resulting scarring, according to information provided by InfoPET, the company that created the concept. Once inserted, the microchip requires no batteries or maintenance, and the pet’s body actually forms fibrous connective tis sues around the microchip, preventing dis location. In total, the procedure takes less than one minute in a veterinarian’s office and requires no further attention during the pet’s lifetime. Edie Wirt, Info Pet’s customer service support manager, said InfoPET was grow ing almost exponentially as more compa nies began to market their own versions of microchips and scanners for pets. “The microchip technology has been used widely in zoos and wildlife, such as for the marking of endangered species, and now people are more worried about losing their own pets,” Wirt said. The APS of Orange County, the Timberlyne Animal Hospital, and the Carrboro Animal Hospital all offer the procedure. The APS will offer an InfoPET “microchipping” clinic on Sunday, April dent body co-secretary, the scheduled speakers include Student Body President Calvin Cunningham, Graduate and Pro fessional Student Federation president Steve Hoffmann and Faculty Council Chairwoman Jane Brown. Pre-written letters and postcards to mem bers of the state legislature are available in the Campus Y, Black Cultural Center and Suite C. Representative Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he was not sure when the budget cuts proposal would be considered by the full House. He said the budget cuts were passed by the House Appropriations Subcommit tee on Education April 6. Next the proposal will go to the Appro priations Committee, then the full House and finally the Senate, he said. Hackney said there was still enough time to prevent the proposal from passing. “There is still time,” he said. “People need to write to members from their home area.” The General Alumni Association is also taking action against the proposal.

The lecture series honors the late Reid Sarratt, an N.C. journalist who was execu tive director of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. Sarratt was the first presidentofUNC’sJoumalism Alumni and Friends Association. The speech will mark Wicker’s second appearance as part of the Sarratt series, making him the first lecturer to be invited more than once. Other previous speakers have included Frank Deford, an award-winning sports writer; David Brinkley, a newscaster for ABC; Kurt Luedtke, a Hollywood screen writer whose roots are in print journalism; David Broder, a columnist for the Wash ington Post; Karen Jurgens en of USA To day; and Patricia Carbine, a co-founder of Ms. magazine. all semester are just now starting to come together, ” said Jill Greeson, a junior from Charlotte who is vice president of the group. Greeson said students of all exposure levels to dance could gain something from the show. She said it was a good opportunity to learn about modem dance for those who had never seen it performed before. But even for those more experienced in the art form, the show could still offer a chance to entertain and enlighten. “I think it’s a good opportunity for any body who doesn’t know anything about modemdance,” Greesonsaid. “Everybody is going to leave the performance with a new appreciation for dance." The dancers, for one, are ready to get on stage. Except for a “work-in-progress” per formance in December, the group hasn’t performed in front of a large audience since last spring. And that’s one of the reasons the dancers come to the group in the first place. “I think people are motivated for the concert because they’ve been working on this all year,” Hopkins said. “One of the main reasons to join Modemextension is to perform in a theater with a full produc tion.” 30, at the Carrboro Community Park. The cost for the procedure will be $lO, which is half the normal price. With the implantation of the microchip comes a free registration at the Orange County shelter and the option of registering with the Na tional InfoPET registry, which links all InfoPET scanners across the nation, for S2O. Heavily populated areas of the country, such as San Diego and Los Angeles, have used the InfoPET microchip system for several years and are even beginning to implant microchips in children’s teeth as a means of identification in the case of kidnappings and runaways. “One third of pet owners are choosing to microchip at the shelter, and these are people who really want extra care for their animals,” Sanford said. The microchip implantation process is also beneficial to breeders, who might oth erwise have difficulty identifying particu lar animals in a litter. All other forms of identification require a physical inspection of markings or colorings, while technology has allowed the microchip readings to be entirely accurate. The scanner’s results are unquestionable. ,\\ h '/ Are you upset about^ Come to Polk Place in front of South Building at noon today for a rally featuring speeches by: Calvin Cunningham, Student Body President Steve Hoffmann, Graduate and Professional Student Federation president Jane Brown, Faculty Council chairwoman UNC alumni urging them to get in touch with the state legislature and voice their opinions. 7 p.m. Women’s Issues Network will meet in Suite B, room F (the WIN office) of the Union.
