The adventures of “Billy Body Waste”
and a five-foot skeleton may be unusual
teaching aids, but they were just what a
group of Chapel Hill High School students
needed on Feb. 23 to teach children about
the human body.
About 52 high school juniors and se
niors presented the “Body Book,” a series
of 20 different books about various body
systems, to third- through fifth-graders at

the entire student body of the programs
within the Student Union during his term
next year as union president.
The Carolina Union Board of Directors
selected Busby on Feb. 18 as president for
the 1996-1997 academic year.
“My greatest goal as president is to
inform the entire student body of the op
portunities that exist within the Union,”
Busby said. “I can think of no greater

Ephesus Elementary School.
The books, created and published by
CHHS students as part of an advanced
biology class project, were designed to make
complex subjects such as the circulatory,
respiratory and digestive systems easy for
elementary school children to understand.
Complete with text and many photos of
human anatomy, students laminated their
books that ranged from eight to 15 pages.
Students found no props too silly when
explaining the functions ofthe human body
to the young.
Junior Jessie Henderson-Cohen and
senior Katie Steele, both 16, created a book
dealing with the execratory system.
“It could have been a delicate subject,”
Henderson-Cohen said.
The duo used humor as a learning tool
and with the aid of an electric flushing
complement to the academic environment.
If people are informed of opportunities,
this will make a much better Carolina ex
perience for them.”
Busby, a junior political science major
from Clinton Comers, N.Y., will chair the
Carolina Union Board of Directors and
serve as president of the Carolina Union
Activities Board.
Busby said he was qualified to take on
these two roles because of his past work
and experience.‘‘The experience that has
made me most fit for the Union presidency
is my experience this year on two Union
committees, the Cabaret committee and
the critical issues committee, ” Busby said.
Rick Gardner, program advisor for
CUAB, said Busby served the Union this
year as an office assistant.

toilet, a song and the stoiy of a young body
waste’s journey to his grandma’s house in
the toilet, explained how the system
worked.
Henderson-Cohen said the presentation
of their book to six small groups ofkids was
a success and by the end of their presenta
tions most of the kids were singing the
song. “Ithinkit’sagood way to learn about
things by teaching it to other people,”
Henderson-Cohen said.
Senior Megan DiMaio ,18, and her part
ners senior Melissa Pozzo,l7, and junior
Kerryann Dawkins,l6, had the task of ex
plaining the skeletal system.
“You had to strike a balanced line of not
being too condescending andtoo detailed,"
DiMaio said.
Her group opted forthe serious, straight
forward approach for teaching the elemen
volved. He works well with others and that
is why we are excited about working with
him,’’Gardnersaid. “He is very gregarious
and outgoing.”
After going through an application pro
cess, Busby answered questions in a pre
liminary interview. On Feb. 18, Busby
went to a final interview and was named
president by this year’s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors includes the
student body president, the Student Con
gress speaker and the president of the
Graduate and Professional Student Fed
eration, as well as appointees from the
BlackStudentMovement; Bisexuals, Gays,
Lesbians, and Allies for Diversity; the As
sociation of International Students; and
the Residence Hall Association. Four fac
ulty members, who are nominated by stu
dents and appointed by the chancellor,
McNemey and Minesh were declared the
winners by a vote of 367 to 365.
Robbins requested a recount Wednes
day, and members of the board counted
votes four times Wednesday and 12 times
Thursday to arrive at a final tally, Shuart
said. Each count showed Robbins and
Bruce as the winners.
The case would be heard the week after
Spring Break, Sarratt said. The suit against
the board and the suit against Robbins and
Bruce will be heard together. “They willbe
heard as one case because there is one
complaint involving the same defendants, ”
Sarratt said. After hearing the case, the
Supreme Court could call for another elec
tion. None of the candidates could be
reached for comment.

She added that some students were dis
appointed when they learned the skeleton
used in the presentation was made of plas

The students’ books were donated to
the elementary school after they were pre
sented to the children.
Chapel Hill High School biology teacher
Gail Boyarsky said the “Body Book” project
was a success and something she and fel
low teacher Judy Jones would like to con
tinue in the future.
“We see this as really positive for all of
the kids,” Boyarsky said.
She said the high school students ben
efited from the project because they could
interact with younger children and the
elementary students could view the older
students as role models.

Busby said his presidency would be dif

“I will be able to devote a lot of time to
making sure people are informed,” Busby
said.
He said CUAB was currently in the

Williams asked if she was passed out

Choi also stated that the alleged victim

Ackland Art Museum:
Where the Wild Things Are
BY MATTHEW BOYATT
STAFF WRITER
Under the hot Mediterranean sun, the
Egyptians worshipped the god Anubis, a
canine of stem linear perfection with per
fectly pointed ears and a slick black coat.
The Greeks believed in the terrifying
chimera which, with the body of a goat,
headofalionand tail ofadragon, probably
sent even Zeus running for Mount
Olympus.
Though thousands of years have passed
since these creatures were feared and even
honored, the Ackland Art Museum has
arranged for a captivating look into the
realm ofthe animal.
Running through March 17, the
Museum’s new exhibit, “Familiar Aliens;
Another Look at Animals, ” is sure to please
any art lover with an appreciation for our
wilder neighbors.
“In ancient cultures art always served a
special purpose such as in teaching and
religion,” said Carolyn Wood, University
educator for the Ackland Art Museum.
“The concept of art just for art’s sake is a
modem idea.”
Wood said the purpose of the exhibit
was to heighten the viewer’s awareness of
the link between man and animal, which
dates back to before the early hunting and
gathering societies of the Stone Age.
“By looking at objects in which animals
are used as a visual language we can take a
look back into our own historyandtheway
in which we looked at the world, ” she said.
In the winter of 1994 Timothy Riggs,
curator at the Ackland, organized an ex
hibit titled “Beasts and Super-Beasts. ” This
year’s exhibit is a result of the positive
response to the first showing as well as
“I would welcome the Carolina
Review’s contribution to the expression of
ideas on campus, but there is a responsible
way to do that and an irresponsible way to
do that.”
Allen defended the Review’s use of the
caricature of Nelson. He said the cartoon
ist was trying to express her perception of
Nelson’s record as evil. He said the carica
ture was also a take-off of UNC’s chief
rival, the Duke Blue Devil. “Our paper
stands wholeheartedly against anti-
Semitism in all its forms.”
Hooker said he thought the Review cari-
District Attorney Nancy Becchia argued
that since Choi was not under arrest when
he gave his statement, it was unnecessaiy
for him to be read his Miranda rights.
Becchia also argued that Choi had given
the statement ofhis own free will.
When cross-examined by the defense,
Williams said that he had not advised Choi
of his right to seek counsel or to refuse to
answer questions before the interview.
Robert Mercer, the area director for
Carmichael and Whitehead Residence
Halls, testified that he was present at the
interview and said Williams had informed
Choi that he was not under arrest.
Choi was expelled from the University
on Dec. 12,1994 after a review committee
derided that it was in the best interest of the
University. Choi’sparents, U.S. Army Staff
Sgt. Moon Choi and Tae Choi, flew in
from Germany to give support to their son.
Choi said, “The whole thing is about a
miscommunication. ”
with whom he served during civil rights demonstra
tions in the I 9605. He was chosenby King to organize
an alliance of black businessmen and clergy in Chi
cago to promote job opportunities for blacks with
firms doing business in the black community.
Jackson was also a leader of the Poor People’s
Campaign sponsored by SCLC in 1968, and in 1971
he founded a second economic program, People
United to Save Humanity, of which he became ex

Riggs’ desire to exhibit works which were
not shown in “Beasts and Super-Beasts.”
The array of images displayed in the
show covers a long period of history and
deals with subject matter linked both di
rectly and abstractly with animals. Prints
and photographs fill the exhibit area, and
glass cases display stone-carved, terra-cotta
and bronze animal figures depicted in both
real-world and mythological contexts.
The prints displayed include works by
Pablo Picasso, Francisco Goya, Albrecht
Durer and various other artists who have
expressed themselves through animal rep
resentations. Lee McFadden, media repre
sentative for the museum, said the mu
seum took great precautions to protect
thier lithographs and prints from deteriora
tion due to exposure to light.
The magnitude of the art exhibit is evi
dent by the mixed reactions of visitors.
“The picture of the Japanese horseman
is unbelievable,” said Kevin Vemie, a stu
dent visiting from Florida State. “Theforce
behind the representation would put the
Grim Reaper to shame. It’s a fitting image
for the mental turmoil surrounding the
events of the Second World War.”
The serpents which occupy the fore
ground of this print, made shortly after the
bombing of Pearl Harbor, are said to sym
bolize deceit and treachery. This symbol
ism can be traced back to the Biblical story
of Adam and Eve.
“The nature of this art is an important
factor in helping us reflect on what we’ve
done to animals,” said David Jones, a
continuing studies student. “I think by
viewing this art, everyone can gain greater
appreciation for our environment and the
animals whose existence depends on how
we treat our surroundings.”
caturewasinpoortaste. “It lost its credibil
ity at the outset with the caricature at the
fiont,” Hooker said. “I reject the view that
the editor did not know what he was doing
when he made the caricature.”
Hooker was referring to the derogatory
depictions of Jews as devils throughout
history.
Allen said during the broadcast that
neither he nor his staff knew of the stereo
type. “Several members of the Jewish faith
and (Review) staff members approached
me and pointed out that they didn’t know
of the stereotype until this controversy.”

first.
Regardless of what decision is made,
both the council and Franklin Street bar
owners agreed that some form of action
should be decided and action needed to be
taken.
“By and large, we have not alienated the
bar owners,” Capowski said.
Council member Julie Andresen said
certain bar owners were sympathetic to the
underage drinking problem. Bar owners
should not be held totally at fault, she said.
“Some bar owners are part of the prob
lem, but most definitely not the entire prob
lem since the state does not employ (police
officers) enough to enforce the law,”
Andresen said.
One downtown bar is concerned the
council will concentrate on alcohol prob
lems alone, and will ignore others.
“Alcohol is a drug, that should be regu
lated, but in Chapel Hill it would almost be
easier to go out and buy marijuana or
cocaine on a comer than try to buy a beer, ”
said Mike Tulsey, manager of Bub
O’Malley’s.
Players assistant manager Steve
Woodham said they were also increasing
their effort to find fake IDs by checking
each time a drink was purchased.
The council is sympathetic to bars and
the problem of fake IDs. “To me the con
cept of underage drinking is not important.
What’s important is the amount (people
drink),” he said.
Woodham said that Players wanted to
work with the council on foe issue, since
council involvement would alleviate 100
percent of the pressure that was now on the
bar to find all underage drinkers.
“I don’t think any new regulations the
council may impose will keep away
undergrads or have a bad effect on our
business.”
