The magazine, which will include
news, features, opinions and cultural arts
stories, will be produced every Wednes

and entirely by University students.
Ryan Thornburg, a senior journalism
major and publisher of the magazine,
said there was a place for students of all
computer literacy levels at the magazine.

■ Hekima offers students a
chance to read and discuss
materials by black authors.

UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Translated into English, the Swahili
word “hekima” means “knowledge.”
The Black Student Movement hopes
to provide UNC students with knowl
edge through its own form of Hekima, a
discussion group that explores different
elements of the African-American expe
rience through literature.
“One of the goals of Hekima is to
removetheformalityofreading and bring
it to a more comfortable level,” said
Tomeiko Ashford, a doctoral student in
African-American literature from Co
lumbia, S.C. “(Hekima) also provides a
way for undergraduates, graduate stu
dents and other members of the Univer
sity community to come together and
have fun.”
Hekima meetings are held on Mon
day evenings at the Sonja Haynes Stone
Black Cultural Center.
“It’s a group-oriented kind of discus
sion so that people can assert their opin
ions and become comfortable with the
literature," Ashford said.
Hekima was established by the BSM’s
Education Committee last year. Ashford,
a former facilitator for the group, said an
average of 20 to 30 students attended
Hekima meetings last semester.

ing Navy Pool.
He said the plans called for a heated,
L-shaped pool with anew deck and new
fence surrounding it. The pool might be
open form March to November because
it will be heated, Mueller said.
“(In the fall) it will be nice to swim in,
but it’ll be tough getting to and from the
locker room,” he said.
Richard Baddour, senior associate di
rector of athletics, reported on several
construction and renovation projects that
are in either planning or implementation
stages.
“On the Kenan Stadium, I say if we’re
going to beat Clemson 45-0 every year,
an advanced computer background to
those with just a lot of enthusiasm,”
Thornburg said. “We’re welcoming ev

dedicated to it.”
Deb Aikat, a professor in the School of
Journalism and Mass Communication,
serves as faculty advisor to the magazine.
Aikat teaches JOMC 50, Electronic In
formation Sources, a class Aikat said was
commonly called, “Internet 101.”
Aikat said he hoped working at the
magazine would give students valuable
experience that would help them in their
job searches.

A committee consisting of Hekima’s
facilitator, assistant facilitators and coor

read and discuss throughout the semes

committee members survey students and
faculty members to generate ideas.
“A lot of research goes into (the selec
tion), ” she said. “Hekima tries to fill gaps
in what’s already offered at the Univer
sity. We give a lot of consideration to
black authors who are talented but some
how get pushed aside.”
The committee chose seven books this
year, including works by Toni Morrison,

Baddour said the athletic department
had received positive responses to the
increased number ofwomen’s rest rooms
in the stadium and to the improved con

■ SEAC plans to become

ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
When the Student Environmental
Action Coalition speaks out about pro
gressive concerns, recycling is just one of
many issues they tackle.
“It’s the best way to get people’s atten
tion and educate them on environmental
issues,” said SEAC President Andrew
Pearson. “(Recycling) is our first way to
get out there on campus.”
At their afternoon Tuesday meeting
in the Union Film Auditorium, SEAC
members made plans for a Thursday rally
in the Pit that would encourage campus
recycling.
Tentative plans for the rally include a
speak out, a funeral procession for the
waste dying, a crushed can demonstra
tion and building of a trash monster.
Volunteers will also go to residence
halls Thursday night and empty recy
cling containers for students.
Pearson said he hoped the events
would inform students that they can re
cycle at athletic events, conferences and
while dining.
“We may have a lot of recycling pro
grams here,” he said. “But enough waste

campaign influence, has instituted a vol

She stressed that her positions on edu

on first reforming campaign finance.
One of Kinnaird’s opponents, Sen.
Teena Little, R-Moore, agreed that many
voters see a need for campaign finance
reform. “However, most people don’t

SEAC members are also involving
themselves in several progressive issues.
An elections committee plans to inform
voters about candidates’ records on envi
ronmental and other issues, said com
mittee Co-chairwoman Stephanie
Broughton.
“There are a lot of groups working on
voter registration, so we’re going to tty to
work on voter education,” she said.
Another committee is also involving
itselfinlocal politics by organizing rallies
supporting the UNC Housekeepers As
sociation in its lawsuit against the Uni
versity.
Robin Ellis, chairwoman of the com
mittee, said she was fighting the
privatization of housekeepers’ jobs be
cause of the lack of power housekeepers
have on campus.
“Choosing a predominantly female,
predominantly African-American
workforce to privatize first clearly has
racial implications,” she said.
Ellis said the University administra
tion is afraid of two things: the links to
racism that the lawsuit will bring up and
large student protests.
“What they fear is what we want to
do,” she said.
Other SEAC committees deal with
educating area youth about the environ
ment, vegetarian issues, wilderness and
wildlife.

candidates that they don’t,” Little said.
P.H. Craig, Kinnaird’s other Republi
can opponent, questioned where the pub
lic money for campaign reform might
originate. Craig stated, “It is irrespon
sible to talk about taxpayers picking up
the tab for her campaigning until she
explains what new tax she will impose to
pay for such campaign expenses.”
Craig concluded by saying he believed
in campaign reform that protects the tax
payers from raids on the state treasury.
