2 Monday, November 17, 1997 Auction raises money for animal sanctuary BY SHELLEY LEVINE STAFF WRITER Virginia Ellington decided $1,250 wasn’t a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a basketball when it is auto graphed by Dean Smith and the entire team of his final championship season. Two basketballs, donated by the Department of Athletics, were featured Sunday afternoon as items up for bid at the 24th annual Auction for the Animals. The auction brought in almost $15,000 for the Animal Protection Society of Chapel Hill. Ellington, a volunteer with APS and co-chairwoman of the auction, said she bought the ball to honor her late hus band, J.P. Ellington, a member of the UNC class of 1951. “He taught me all I know about bas ketball and football, and he loved his alma mater,” she said. “It’s nice when I can get something in honor of him and help APS at the same time.” Ellington began her work with APS eight years ago cleaning out cat cages. She stresses the importance of the soci ety and the work they do, which is made possible by events like the auction. “I go in the shelter, and I see these creatures,” she said. “All they want is love, and they will give it unconditionally in return. People treat them like disposable properties, and they’re not.” Ellington won the bidding for the bas ketballs, forcing the opposing bidder, Roberta Stolpen, to pay the same price for the second ball. Stolpen, a law student at UNC, said TVie Most Intensive Course For Hie SiI > i i : m i'i 1 1 =1 J\ ; h flTrj M the most hours j ifi the best instructors 6? the best materials the best results 5? the lowest cost Chapel Hill's Intensive MCAT Prep Course!

The APS holds an auction every year to raise money for projects, such as an emergency service for animals, which fills in for animal control during off hours, said Pat Sanford, executive direc tor of APS. The society will soon be able to spay and neuter its animals with anew facil ity that is scheduled to open Dec. 1. The program and the salaries of two county appointed animal cruelty investigators are also paid for by the APS with the help of fund-raisers such as the auction, Sanford said. “Another neat thing about the auc tion is that it brings people out to see the facility,” she said. The crowd was so large at the auction that APS members had to bring in extra folding chairs. “I’m delighted with the turnout," said Billie Nagelschmidt, APS board member. Quilts, ceramics, pottery, jewelry, sculpture and gift certificates for hotel visits were auctioned off to supporters of the APS. Restaurant meals and retail gift .••: •■.

Although the increased number of participating businesses has levelled restaurants’ profits, Bandido’s owner Tony Sustaita said he continues to make between 40 percent and 50 percent more money than usual during RSWP. “Two out of three (restaurant own ers) say business is better, and most of the rest are the same as," Briggaman said. Customers are concerned with a restaurant’s participation in the pro gram. “We get quite a few people who call ... to ask if we’re participating,” Sustaita said. While most of the Tea House’s cus tomers come in on regular nights, Williford said RSWP consolidated his patronage. “On the RSWP night we find that most customers will choose to eat on that night instead of their regular night,” he said. “Most of our customers would not eat here if we did not participate.” r**' ■ gram director. Davis, a profes sor of African- American and feminist studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz is the author of six books. She was thrown into the spotlight in the late 1960s after Ronald Reagan instigated her dis missal from UCLA because of her political beliefs. Planners say they hope civil rights activist and professor ANGELA DAVIS encourages students to rally around the center. Chuck Stone, a professor of journal ism and mass communication who knows Davis, believes it would be ben eficial for students to hear her speech. “In terms of intellect, she is one of the brightest figures in the civil rights movement,” Stone said. “We can all learn from people like her.” Hancock said she hoped the lecture would help with race relations on cam pus. “I think it will definitely improve race relations on campus because she has a very international focus," Hancock said. Leah Pegues, a student active in the BCC, said Davis’ speech would be an opportunity to hear the ideas of a prominent female activist. “I hope to learn about her experi ences and what she thinks we can do to improve our status as black women." Other students said they not only hoped to learn more about Davis but about their culture as well. “I hope to gain a sense of myself, of my people and of my identity,” said Tracy Sanders, a senior involved with the BCC. “I’m a feminist and also a womanist, and I consider Angela Davis to be one also.” Pope hopes meeting will increase zeal ■ American bishops need to reach out to Catholics who have left the church. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VATICAN CITY - Determined to bring back Catholics who have left the church and win new faith, Pope John Paul II on Sunday appealed to bishops from the Americas to work with fresh missionary zeal. John Paul celebrated Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica to open a monthlong special meeting, or synod, of church men from North and South America. The nearly 300 representatives will discuss concerns close to the pope’s heart, particularly how to reach out to Catholics who have left the church. Many of those erstwhile Catholics have been alienated by the pope’s refusal to ease the Vatican’s prohibition of artificial birth control, abortion and divorce. Others have been attracted by the vibrancy of evangelical sects. Another question to be explored is why North America, with its prominent Protestant culture, has more wealth and better developed democratic institutions than its southern neighbors, deeply root ed in Catholicism. Addressing the bishops, John Paul noted that it was the first such synod of the Americas since Columbus’ voyage to the "New World” and opened the way for legions of missionaries on both continents. The pope said, "The objective is to diffuse evermore the evangelical mes sage.”
