Though the United States has attained
the position of world superpower in the
20th century, it may have to work harder
to maintain that stance in the 21st, eco
nomic officials said Thursday.
A symposium at the Friday Center
addressed the issue of global economy
and the United States’ role in it.
“National borders are becoming
blurred by economic interdependence,”
said keynote speaker Joan Spero,
undersecretary of state for economics,
business and agricultural affairs.

While pro-life organizations are an
ticipating the possibility of overturning
Clinton’s veto, they are also concerned
about the FDA’s announcement.
FDA officials said the controversial
RU-486 abortion pill was closer to ap
proval.
The announcement outraged many
pro-life groups who do not think the drug
should be introduced in the United States.
Critics said the FDA rushed through the
research process.
Holt said she was surprised about how
difficult it was for the FDA to approve
drugs that could save the lives of cancer
and AIDS patients.
However,Holt said, the administra
tion was quick to support the abortion
pill.
Colm, who supports the pill, admitted
that it was not perfect, because women
must use the pill in the first five weeks of

Both men were slated to appear in
Chapel Hill district court yesterday, but
information on their court appearance
was not available as of yesterday after
noon.
The Sept. 5 break-in caused about SBOO
worth of damage at the Sigma Nu house,
which is located at 109 Fraternity Court.
It was not reported to Chapel HUI police
until Sept. 11.
Last week police said they suspected
three freshmen pledges of Pi Kappa Al
“ Our purpose as we head into the next
century will be to promote regional eco
nomic cooperation.”
She also discussed the importance of
U.S. influence in the world economy.
“We use the economy as a means to
achieve diplomatic goals. The economy
provides a vehicle for political issues
throughout the world.”
Spero gave examples of current U.S.
strength by naming some trade organiza
tions the United States has instituted.
The most important of these organiza
tions is Asia-Pacific Economic Coopera
tion, she said. By the end of the century,
Asia will produce one-half of the world’s
pregnancy, before many women realize
they are pregnant.
In addition, the FDA is planning to
require women to visit their physicians
three times and have an ultrasound, she
said.
Those stipulations could make the
procedure cost as much as a surgical
abortion, she said.
“I don’t think it’s the answer to every
thing,” Colm said.
She added that the treatment would
provide women who can afford the pill
with greater options.
Ising, a pro-choice advocate, said she
was excited about the FDA announce
ment.
She said the success of the drug in
France, where it was first used, proves its
effectiveness.
“It’s an incredible advancement to
diffuse the tense and violent atmosphere
outside abortion clinics,” she said.
“Pro-life people criticize it because it
would mean they could no longer con
tinue their campaign of terror.”

It is not known whether Armstrong
and Kozel were among the three or if
they were new suspects.
Both Pi Kappa Alpha and University
officials said they were upset with the
incident and did not condone the behav

financial responsibility for the damages

downsides to the global economy like

“Income distribution is rapidly becom

need to avoid violence
■ Escalating violence
counteracts new medical
advances, doctor says.
BY WILL GARVIN
STAFF WRITER
Reports about violent acts canbe found
in almost any newspaper; however, few
offer solutions to a growing problem in
America today.
Doctors, professors and students gath
ered Thursday at the Violence Preven
tion Conference, held at the School of
Social Work, to discuss solutions to the
rising trend in violence.
The conference was sponsored by the
Carolina Justice Policy Center, The Cen
ter for Death Penalty Litigation and the
UNC School of Social Work.
“This is a problem that affects all of us
and we need to be interested and con
cerned about it,” Dr. Kenneth Powell
said in his keynote address at the Vio
lence Prevention Conference.
“Violence is destroying much of the
progress that we have gathered in other
areas of health,” he said.
Powell, associate director for science
at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention in Atlanta, cited the steep
increase in teenage homicides and ar
rests as evidence for the necessity of vio
lence prevention techniques.
Powell said the U.S. homicide rate for
males 15 years old to 24 years old is six
times higher than any similarly devel
oped country and the deaths of 57.7 per
cent of 15-year-old to 24-year-old Afri
can-American males are the result of
homicide.
In addition to homicides, the confer
ence also attempted to address violence
and abuse in all environments.
John Turner, special assistant to the
ment program officer for Amnesty Interna
tional USA, will speak at a free pizza luncheon
in G 9 New Carroll.
6:30 p.m. Graduate students! There will
be a FOCUS meeting featuring “Two Chris
tian Perspectives on Politics” with Dr. Frederick
Brooks ofUNC and Jimmy Long (Intervarsity).
6:30 p.m., 9 p.m., 11:30 p.m. The
Carolina Union Activities Board Film Com
mittee will present “Up Close and Personal” in
the Carolina Union Auditorium. Admission
will be $2.
(Si;? Sailg (tar Heel
dean of the School of Social Work, high
lighted the diversity of violence and abuse
the conference covered.
“Violence is not the exclusive owner
ship of any one discipline,” he said.
Gerda Stein, a mitigation specialist
for the Center for Death Penalty Litiga
tion, said the purpose of the forum was to
give an explanation to the origins of vio
lence in a society and how to deal with
that violence.
“(The conference) is an education fo
rum to help people understand why vio
lence happens in society and how to deal
with people who commit crimes,” Stein
said.
“Studies show that the death penalty
is not a deterrent because people com
mitting murder are under so much stress
that they are not in control of their ac
tions.”
Stein said she thought better gun con
trol laws, economic opportunities for the
poor and comprehensive mental pro
grams would work better as a deterrent to
violence.
Other focus groups dealt with the con
cept of treating the ills of society as a
whole as well as the individual to counter
the rise in violence.
“I think one of the majorpoints here is
that frequently we only focus on the indi
vidual instead of the whole social spec
trum,” said Kermit Nash, professor in
the School of Social Work.
“I think that if you only work on the
individual you neglect most of the causes
of violence.”
Nash said she hoped that the confer
ence would help grab students’ interests
in the field of social work.
“We’d like to see more students go
into this sort of field.”
