2 Wednesday, March 5, 1997 Communication tops University’s concerns ■ Student and faculty concerns were addressed at a discussion Tuesday. BY ASHLEY STEPHENSON STAFF WRITER Students and faculty said communi cation between different races, cultures, faculty and students was at the forefront of University concerns in a round-table discussion Tuesday. Student Body President-elect Mo Nathan said the lack of cross-cultural and student/faculty interaction was at the root of communication concerns. “There is simply not enough contact between people, whether it be different races or different interests, or different places of origin, or faculty or students,” Nathan said. About 20 faculty members and stu dents met in Dey Hall’s Toy Lounge to discuss issues facing the UNC commu nity. Much discussion was devoted to race relations between students. “What we want is people crossing boundaries,” said Susan Kitchen, vice chancellor for student affairs. Mandy Hitchcock, co-chairwoman Wednesday Noon-1: 15 p.m. The Sonja H. Stone Black Cultural Center will present “Around the Circle," a weekly discussion group at the BCC moderated by Rachel Watkins .

Hitchcock said a lack of University support for minorities has exacerbated race relations. “If the University isn’t committed to minority students and ignores their con tributions to the University, how can they expect race relations to be good?" she asked. The discussion also focused on improving communication between stu dents and faculty members. Many par ticipants discussed how the relationship between advisors and students could be improved. “During that 10 minute appointment, you’re not going to figure out who you’re going to be and what your life is going to be like,” Kitchen said. Jane Hogan, associate director for Student Health Service, said both stu dents and faculty members will have to take the initiative to develop relation ships. “Communication is at the forefront group members. 4 p.m. There will be a social meeting of the UNC Sociology Club at Mardi Gras Bowling Alley.

CN, JL>i\W WAY University at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK N Y 117^-3370 Announcing... w aHje Ba% (Tar Hrrf UNC student to take stand against bar ■ The student said she was a victim of discrimination . at Groundhog Tavern. FROM STAFF REPORTS A University student who was denied entry to Groundhog Tavern, located at 149 E. Franklin St., last week is thinking about filing discrimination complaints. The female student, who wished to remain anonymous, said she did not know what she was going to do about the incident yet, but she was considering possible action. The woman and her friend were waiting in line to get into Groundhog Tavern Feb. 22, when the bouncer told them the bar was full. The woman asked if she could go in and let a friend know to meet her some where else, she said. However, the bouncer said she could not go inside the bar because it was full. She said the bouncer let guys who were behind her in line enter the bar after she was denied admittance. He later allowed other guys looking for friends to go inside the bar. She said she thought the bouncer discriminated against her because he would not let her in the bar but admitted others. Chapel Hill police responded Feb. 22 to a call at Groundhog Tavern about persons refusing to leave. Britt Keele, manager of Groundhog Tavern, said he was out of town during the incident. However, he said last week the bouncer would no longer work at the door but remain an employee of the bar. “The only thing that I can say is that I apologize to the two girls and action has been taken against the employee," Keele said in an earlier interview. “He will no longer work at the door.”
