2 Monday, September 25,1995 BRIEFS Sttntsfrtm the Unirmity and Chapel Hill Day To Celebrate “Paris of tho Piedmont* Canceled The first annual Carrboro Day, which was to be held Saturday at the Carrboro Town Hall, was canceled due to the rain. The day will be rescheduled sometime this spring. Carol Rosemond, event coordinator, said because the day was planned almost entirely by the residents of Carrboro, can celing the event was a hard decision to make. “They worked real hard, so there was a lot of disappointment.” Rosemond said a resident of Carrboro summed up the feelings of the day when she said, “My heart tells me one thing, but my mind tells me we should cancel.” The day was intended to celebrate the uniqueness that the town of Carrboro is known for having and to promote a sense of community among those who live and work in the town. BOT FROM PAGE 1 University that we move on this.” But, Armfield said despite the opposi tion on campus, he felt passing the pro posal was necessary to maintain the excel lence of the University. “We hope we’re being good stewards to the state and to the students,” Armfield said. Several students who had been active in the fight against the tuition increase said now the legislature had to be pushed in the upcoming short session and the long ses sion to give more funding to the Univer sity. “Obviously we have to live with the vote,” said Kim Miller, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Fed eration. “Now it is important to hold them to their promise.” John Dervin, one of the students who addressed the Board during its Sept. 7 Engagement Rings . j 10%-15% OFF!

Eleanor Morris, director of UNC’s Of fice of Scholarships and Student Aid, said she had spoken to Kuralt’s wife early Sun day when she called to inform her that he would be unable to attend the event. “He was taken to the hospital with chest pains. He’s OK. It does not appear to be a heart attack,” Morris said. Kuralt’s wife told Morris she was hope ful that he would be out of the hospital very soon. Morris said that Kuralt’s cancellation would not dampen the week’s schedule of events, which will focus on, “Media and the Mind: Shaping the Political and Ethi cal Consensus in America.” “It was disappointing that we couldn’t start off the week with Charles Kuralt’s talk, but we still have a very exciting week, with events planned every day from Mon day through Friday,” Morris said. hearing to gather student opinion on the issue, said no matter what the monetary rewards in the legislature were, they were not worth the precedent set by the vote. “I think even ifwe end up getting money in the short session, which I really hope we do, we have still set a horrible precedent,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to be a fresh man.” Both Miller and Dervin said they were disappointed with Cunningham’s leader ship on the issue. “I have aproblem with Calvin still hold ing that stance, based on student opinion, ” Miller said. “He’s not here as Calvin the person, he is here as Calvin the representative of stu dents, and I feel he’s failed in this respon sibility.” Ladell Robbins, president of the BSM, said he thought the vote had come about too quickly, but he said he hoped the legis lature would act to increase the University’s funding. “It’s a done deal,” Robbins said. “Now I only hope that the state legislature will be as supportive to them as they are to the state legislature.” GREAT PEOPLE!

BY ANGELA EAGLE STAFF WRITER While an editorial cartoon in The Daily Tar Heel depicted them as opposing armies in the battle to win freshmen over to their organizations, the University’s on-campus Christian groups said the image of strife between the groups was not accurate. In fact, competition isn’t the word any of the campus Christian organizations would use to describe their relationship with one another. “It’s not Christian ‘rush’,” said Alex Kirk, the president of Intervarsity Chris tian Fellowship’s South Chapter. “We joked around when the cartoon was out. We try not to make it that way. We have a good relationship with Crusade. I don’t feel like we’re competing in any way. I feel like we’re both working towards the same goal.” Working to reach the campus through CONGRESS MMJ® A summary of actions taken at the last Student Congress meeting.

Jesus Christ was the goal of every Chris tian organization on campus, said Beth Randolph, a staff member of Campus Cru sade for Christ. “We like to see all the Christian groups on campus as a part of the Body of Christ, ” Randolph said. “We’re very glad that they’re here, because certainly we couldn’t reach the campus through Christ without them.” While Campus Crusade and Intervaisity seem to get a lot of the attention, another group takes part in the Christian student sweepstakes as well. “We’re not a very high-profile organi zation, ” said Lindsey Williams, vice presi dent of the Fellowship of Christian Ath letes. “Ithinksomethingthat’suniqueabout FCA, that separates it from the other two organizations, is that it’s totally student led.” Williams agreed that there wasn’t a spirit of competition between the different groups on campus. “If someone decides to go to Intervarsity or Crusade instead of FCA, that’s not a loss at all, ’’ he said. “All Chris tian groups have a unity in purpose, and that’s just that (students) have the opportu nity to get involved.” The bill failed by a vote of 19-3-2. The bill needed a two-thirds vote to pass.

Intervarsity differs from the other groups in that it is divided into four chapters. “If all 400 of us got together every week, people would fall through the cracks,” Kirk said. “We want to care for people and for people to feel like they’re cared for. This school is big enough." And Randolph said UNC was big enough to handle Inteivarsity, Campus Crusade and FCA. “Because the campus is so large, I think there’s a place for both of us on campus, ” Randolph said. “Certainly we are behind what they’re doing, and we feel their support also.” considered part of the vote total and that votes for write-in candidates who do not wish to be considered candidates shall be considered valid.

The residents of Old West had been evacuated from the building and the fire was extinguished before Dunn arrived at the scene. First-floor resident assistant Daren Brake said he thought the fire department’s response was as prompt as it could have been. “Before we could get everyone out of the dorm, the fire was already extin guished,” Brake said. “There could have been more damage, if they hadn’t been so quick.” John Mendoza-Brodeur, area director for Old West, could not be reached for comment. Police reports have estimated the dam ages at S2OOO. However, none of the wash ing or dryer machines were damaged. The laundry facilities are still open for student use.
