Peabody was the assistant director of the Office of Emergency Pre paredness during Lyndon B. Johnson’s term as president. Former U.S. Sen.

One of the sponsors of the speech is the West Triangle Chapter of the United Na tions Association. The UNA is a national organization that educates the public about the United Nations and support America’s role in the world organization. It is funded by public contributions and donations from foundations and corporations. Betty Sher, secretary of the West Tri angle Chapter of the UNA, said: “The UNA is interested in the education of people. We support the Model U.N. pro gram and other educational programs.” The Model U.N. program is one in which students at high schools, colleges or universities, take on the roles of the officers of the United Nations. Students are pre sented with problems and try to solve them the way the United Nations would. UNC’s Model U.N. program is also a sponsor of Peabody’s speech. Ronald Sher, president of the West Tri angle UNA, said: “The UNA is supportive about the trial and listening to others’ opin ions would help heal the racial divisions which exist not only in the United States, but also on the UNC campus. “If you saw The New York Times dur ing the O.J. trial, you could see that the country was basically racially divided on the issue,” Farguheson said. “We want to bring both of these sides together in the discussion.” Lora Rose, treasurer of the Campus Y, which is one of the sponsors of the forum, said she thought people needed to discuss the role of race in the trial and give atten tiontotheissueofdomesticviolence. “(The underlying issuesoftheO.J. Simpson trial) are something people need to talk about, since for a lot of people the trial became centered on these issues,” Rose said. Farguheson said she believed the O.J.

It also does research and pro vides information about foreign policy to the State Depart ment and Congress. “UNC has a Model U.N. group, and the Student Congress Speaker Roy Granato is on ourchapter’sboard, so we are making a combined effort to promote U.N. Day,” he said. Ronald Sher said one of the greatest accomplishments of the United Nations in its first 50 years was its ability to curb fears of a third world war. This threat was very real to people who lived through World War n, he said. “The U.N. was instrumental in preventing a Simpson acquittal required discussion be cause it raised strong emotions and opin ions from the public. “Peoplepayattention to what the media is centered on, ” she said. “People need to care (about these issues), because they are affected by them.” Marissa Tiamfook, the interfaith chair woman of Hillel, said she thought the Simpson verdict had shaken the United States and that the forum would help an swer some questions about it. “(The fo rum) should open up people’s ears,” she said. “Everyone can express their views, listen and leam.” The program is sponsored by Students For the Advancement of Race Relations, People Organized for Women’s Empow erment and Rights, Hillel, the Black Stu dent Movement, College Republicans, Chispa, NAACP and Young Democrats.

Critics have argued that the U.S. pours too much money into the United Nations and that it has not been effective in implementing its resolutions. But Betty Sher said, “One point U.S. Ambassador Madeleine Albright tries to reiterate as often as possible is that each American is only paying around $7 a year to support the U.N.” Concerning all the criticism the United Nations has received, Ronald Sher said, quoting John F. Kennedy, “Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.” An example was that many people wanted something done in Bosnia, he said. “But they also have the idea that military and protective forces are not supposed to incurcasualties,”hesaid. “The U.N. Secu rity Council is only as powerful as the member nations let it be.” WILLIAMSON FROM PAGE 1 reading articles. The defense focused its questioning of potential jurors on their reaction to the insanity defense in the trial. Defense Attor ney Kirk Osborn said it was a “common feeling that the insanity defense is a loop hole.” The question of accountability for the shootings was a problem for several dis missed jurors, but Osborn said this should not be a problem with the insanity plea. “If someone is found legally insane, then they are not held legally responsible for their actions,” Osbom said. Osborn told potential jurors that the main purpose in his line of questioning was to “make us even-steven” with the pros ecution. The defense challenged six jurors the prosecution had accepted four by pe remptory challenges, which meant it did Economic Issues Focus Of Black Caucus Forum BYTODD DARLING STAFF WRITER Leaders in the black community asked local candidates to address economic de velopment and educational advancement Sunday evening in a forum sponsored by the South Orange Black Caucus. The SOBC plans to endorse candidates before the Nov. 7 election. Harris said forums are part of the caucus’ mission to educate the minor ity community. “When they go into the voting booth, they can be informed.” Orange County Commissioner Moses Carey acknowledged the issue of afford able housing as important to the election. He recognized the need for affordable hous ing to maintain diversity. “It’s important to have a diverse community, ” Carey said. He said he thought the forum was success- not have to state a reason for not allowing the jurors, and two by cause challenges, because the potential jurors had unshak able opinions.
