SUNGLUFF FROM PAGE 1 and she is also a fine athlete,” said Jane Miller, who coached Slingluff for fouryears at Virginia. “I think she’s done a lot of the right things to develop herself as a coach; all of her playing experience can only ben efit her.” UNC’s Athletic Department seemed no less sure of SlinglufFs abilities. She was selected after a nationwide search for all qualified applicants. “Jenny is a great young coach,” said Beth Miller, senior associate director of athletics at UNC. “She’s extremely quali fied and experienced. She is also an ex tremely self-motivated individual. We think she is the perfect fit for Carolina.” Slingluff also said she thought UNC was the perfect fit for her. “Carolina is great for me personally,” Slingluff said. “I love the atmosphere of the student body. The attitudes of the people I work with really complement me.” This is not Slingluffs first coachingjob. Before being chosen as UNC’s head coach, she was the assistant coach ofGeorgetown’s women’s lacrosse and field hockey teams for two years. Despite this impressive resume, Slingluff never planned on coaching. She majored in communications and began working in a physical therapy office after graduation. Although she was bored with her work and wanted to try something new, she refused all of the coaching jobs she was offered. “I kept getting a lot of calls from high schools that wanted me to come coach for them, but I kept telling them no, ” Slingluff said. “Then I was offered the job at Georgetown and thought I’d try it.” She soon found out she loved her job. “The revelation happened once I got in volved in coaching,” Slingluff said. “It kind of hit me in the face.

To worldwide acclaim, Arafat and Rabin signed a tortuously negotiated agree ment for Israel to relinquish control of territory it captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War. The agreement outlines in painstaking detail the step-by-step withdrawal of Is raeli forces and the transfer of governing authority for Palestinian self-rule in 30 percent of the West Bank, containing most of its Arab population. The accord also allows for Palestinian elections.

But now that I am, I really want to be a coach, and I want to be a very good one.” The pressure of starting anew sports program would seem overwhelming to most, but Slingluff has taken it all in stride. “The pressure I feel is my own. I have a lot of expectations of myself, although oth ers don’t really have any expectations ofus because we are anew team, ” Slingluff said. But Slingluff refuses to let her team use their first-year status as an excuse for medi ocrity. “She is on the cutting edge of la crosse,” said Sharon Moore, a fifth-year graduate student who plays for the team. “Her attitude is the best thing about her; she refuses to use the excuse that we’re a first-year team.” Although Slingluff loves playing and coaching the game of lacrosse, she said she took this position primarily because she enjoyed interacting with her players. “I’m coaching for them, for the student athletes, ” Slingluff said. “If you aren’t in it for them, then you’re in the wrong busi ness.

STATE & NATIONAL “Croatia will start the repatriation in an organized way and in phases,” said Adalbert Rebic, the head of Croatia’s refu gee agency. Forces of the Muslim-led Bosnian gov ernment and its Croat allies have swept across large tracts of territory once held by rebel Serbs in western Bosnia. It is land they would likely claim under a U.S.- backed peace plan that would divide the country into ethnic segments. About 80,000 Serbs fled the offensive in western Bosnia. By settling non-Serb refu gees on the vacated land, the other sides hope to strengthen their claim to the area. Croatia already has stripped about 100,000 people of their refugee status. Most are Bosnian Croats. Bosnian Serb rebel leader Radovan Karadzic said Thursday in the northern Serb stronghold ofßanja Luka, where many Serb refugees have fled in recently, that peace could be achieved “in a few weeks.” Bosnian Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic made a similar prediction Wednesday, but cautioned that peace was possible only if the international community remained firm in pursuing a settlement.

She is the reason a lot of us freshmen came here rather than going to a top-level team.” Slingluff said she thought sports could play an extremely important role in the lives of women by improving their self confidence and leadership skills. “Sports make women physically fit, self directed and confident, but they also teach them to set goals outside of their primary relationships," Slingluff said. “Often women don’t set goals, they just exist.

Journalist Clark Remembered M The former UNC student died in a car accident while covering the Simpson trial. BYARUNIMAPANDE STAFF WRITER The School of Journalism and Mass Communication will honor a former stu dent with a memorial service at 1:30 p.m. today in Howell Hall Auditorium. Robin Clark died in a car accident in California on Aug. 4, while covering the O.J. Simpson trial for the Los Angeles bureau of the Philadelphia Inquirer. He was 40. “He lived life to the fullest, he built people up instead of tearing them down,” said Richard Cole, dean of the School of Journalism. The memorial will begin with a wel come from Cole, who will speak about Clark’s achievements. He will also discuss the Robin Clark Experience, a memorial fund to honor Gark. Clark was a well-known journalist who attended the j ournalism school until 1977. He was a writer and a summer editor for The Daily Tar Heel. Each year, the journalism school will give a scholarship to one news editorial student who wants to leam through expe UNC AmeriCorps Program to Continue BY EMMA FLACK STAFF WRITER Organizers ofUNC’s AmeriCorps com munity service initiative say they will seek private funding if the Senate’s VA/HUD appropriations bill is signed into law by the president. But President Clinton has vowed to veto the bill if it reaches his desk in its current form. The Senate voted Tuesday to approve the defunding of the AmeriCorps program which provides educational grants and living stipends to community service volunteers of 14 programs in North Caro lina, one of them at UNC. In the 1994-1995 academic year, North Carolina received $2.2 million in federal grants through the AmeriCoips commu nity service program. The Student Coalition for Action in Literacy Education, UNC’s AmeriCorps chapter, is a nationwide literacy program CONGRESS FROM PAGE 1 regarding the definition of a minority. The percentage of Asian American students on campus is higher than the percentage of Asian Americans in the state, Rozier said. “On the other hand, Native Americans and African Americans are not represented those who did not receive the scholarships would be encouraged by the realization theirdreamscouldbecomerealities. “We’re providing motivation from the wings,” Gark said. The scholarship program covers the $60,000 needed to provide one set of 10 scholars with six years of secondary educa tion. Gark and Pike founded their own company, Matope International, in order to raise the money to make the program an annual event. Gark said half of the money needed to sponsor a second class of schol ars has already been raised, adding that a party could fully sponsor one of the 10 scholars for about $2,000. In addition to Matope International, Gark and Pike established an on-campus group, Carolina International Projects Association, to provide the inspiration and LoAExers ~ artauaJL f*U 7^ ™ (eve* i*> tirtfci CMUmm, TWV, TWh Into bite, OVf HvlULahtos., , Want a Date!

Ten SCALE stu dent volunteers at UNC received funding from AmeriCorps in 1994-1995. Because of the proposed defunding of AmeriCoips for the next academic year, SCALE may no longer receive federal fund ing from AmeriCorps. Ed Chaney, directorofSCALEatUNC, said SCALE and AmeriCorps were com mitted to keeping the program going. He said the program would look very different without federal funding. “We will analyze what the program will look like without government funding and then go into the private sector,” Chaney said. SCALE is one of 14 programs receiving grants from AmeriCorps, and UNC is one offourN.C. schools to have an AmeriCoips program.The other schools in North Caro lina are N.C. Wesleyan College, Fayetteville State University and Johnson C. Smith University. SCALE received $50,000 from as well in comparison to the state, ” he said. Students attended Wednesday’s meet ing to request funding for groups including the Carolina Baptist Student Union, the Alliance of Black Graduate and Profes sional Students, Kallisti! and the Carolina Athletic Association. CAA President Anthony Reid spoke in favor of increased funding to cover events support for other UNC students to develop charitable projects of their own. “There’s so much talent on campus that isn’tbeingfu!lyrealized,”Pikesaid. “This is the most incredible experience of our lives. That kind of experience is available to anybody on campus. It’s so rewarding on every level. It’s not a class you can drop. You can’t just get a ‘B. ’ We have no choice but to see it through.” Clark and Pike said that anyone with questions about the program can leam more about the scholarship by contacting them through Matope International, 230 McCauley St., Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514, or by phone at (919) 932-7526.

Other speakers at the memorial service will be Claik’s colleagues from The Char lotte Observer, The San Francisco Exam iner and The Philadelphia Inquirer, where he worked since 1983. He began working for the L.A. bureau of the Inquirer in 1993 and had spent the past year covering the Simpson trial. Cole said Gark was, “a smart guy, a good student who enjoyed out of class experiences more than in class experiences. ” Despite many of his personal tragedies, including the death ofhis father and brother, Clark remained gregarious, witty and al ways reaching out to others, he said. He was well-liked by his colleagues at all ofhis former newspapers, and he had a great sense of humor, Cole said. Most of all, he will be remembered as a free spirit, some one who loved to explore and travel. After the death ofhis brother in 1990, Gark took a year leave from the Inquirer and traveled the country in his Volkswagen bus. The memorial service is an opportunity for Gark’s friends, family and colleagues to remember him, celebrate his life and honor his many personal and journalistic achievements, Cole said. Donations to the Robin Clark Experience can be sent to the School of Journalism and Mass Communi cation, Campus Box 3365, Howell Hall, UNC-Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, N.C. 27599. AmeriCorps for this academic year. Although AmeriCorps may lose fund ing for the next academic year, SCALE plans to solicit private funds to make up for the loss. Wendy Grassi, spokeswoman for the AmeriCorps National Office, said AmeriCorps currently was supported by federal tax money and was working to increase the amount of money from the private sector. “We have always been get ting private funds and have partnerships with private industries,” Grassi said. Sheila Cooney, press secretary for Sen. Lauch Faircloth, R-N.C., said Faircloth had never supported the AmeriCorps pro gram, and a number of AmeriCorps mem bers had participated in political advocacy. A spokeswoman for Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., said Helms supported the defunding of AmeriCorps because it was not cost-effective, and the costs per mem ber were much more than AmeriCoips officials have claimed. such as Homecoming and basketball ticket distribution. “If we don’t get funding, Homecoming will not happen, ” Reid said. “Ticket distribution will not happen.” The committee unfavorably recom mended a greatly reduced bill to fond the CAA to Congress. They reduced the fund ing from $7,200 to $3,000. Reid said, “The money we have now is all we have.” HOOKER FROM PAGE 3 license’ for a better job.” The responsibility of regaining the trust of legislators and taxpayers belongs to the schools, he said. Hooker said he thought the key to im proving the University was finding ways to redistribute existing funds to address the University’s needs, instead of requesting more money from the legislature. Despite this, Hooker still listed improving relations with the legislature and the public as two of his priorities. “Everything we do should be done for the state," he said. In addition, he said, improving working conditions and morale for the housekeep ers was a major concern. However, salary increases for the housekeepers were part of a greater problem. “Salary increases (for all employees) are historically not keeping pace with the cost of living,” he said. Hooker also answered audience ques tions. One of the topics he placed special emphasis on was the need for varied cur riculum, especially in the humanities. “If we are going to give students the intellectual wherewithal to understand so ciety and their place in it, a liberal arts education is a necessity.”
