Students march for campus safety
BY BETH HATCHER
STAFF WRITER
The sound of shrill whistles and
chanting voices announced the presence
of "Take Back the Night” marchers as
they wound their way through campus
Thursday night.
The march, organized by the
Women’s
Issues
Network,
capped off

women and their concerns.
The march was held to bring atten
tion to the lack of safety for women on
campus, said Anne Parker, co-chair
woman of WIN.
Sen. Eleanor Kinnaird, D-Orange, a
former mayor of Carborro and major
supporter of women’s issues in the
Triangle area, gave a speech to kick off
half,” MSU coach Tom Izzo said.
The Spartans seemed in danger of
being blown out, trailing 38-24 at half
time and barely registering a pulse
against UNC’s smart and aggressive
play. Jamison, who scored 13 points in
the half, was getting his share of touch
es in and around the lane. Meanwhile,
the Spartans had missed all 10 of their
3-point shots.
But after missing five shots on their
first second-half possession, the
Spartans hit three 3-pointers (including
a pair by forward Jason Klein) and two
layups on their next five trips to cut the
UNC lead to 42-37 with 15:44 left.
“During that point we knew they
were coming with a spurt,” Jamison
said. “We wanted to keep our compo
sure and stay together as a team.”
MSU guard Charlie Bell’s second
trey of the half trimmed the gap to 44-
40, but his backcourt mate Cleaves
missed two open 3s in the Spartans’ next
three trips that could have swung
momentum in MSU’s favor. Instead,
UNC scored baskets off both misses
including a spinning 15-foot off-glass
jumper by Makhtar Ndiaye to
increase its lead to eight.
Cleaves, who finished 2 of 9 from 3-
point land, knew it wasn’t his night
“That’s a shot you really want to hit,"
Cleaves said. “I’ve been hitting shots like
that all year, but unfortunately it didn’t
fall for us tonight.”
Nothing would fall for any of the
Spartans over the next eight minutes.
MSU missed 15 consecutive shots
during the span, as the Tar Heels turned
up their defensive pressure and held the
Spartans to one shot per trip. But the
North Carolina players felt they could
n’t take all the credit for causing the
MSU cold spell.
“They had patience; they had good
looks,” UNC point guard Ed Cota said.
“They just didn’t knock ’em down.”
The Tar Heels took advantage. A

She said women still faced harass
ment, whether while walking across a
campus at night or in a workplace. She
told those gathered they were taking
back their freedom.
“Enough is enough; we are going to
take back the night,” Kinnaird said.
The marchers walked through Coker
Arboretum, Franklin Street and
Fraternity Court.
“This is a chance for women to
reclaim their safety,” Parker said.
Parker said they wanted to include
areas that were considered especially
unsafe on campus on the route.
Marchers stopped many times along
the route and cheered and blew whistles.
At Fraternity Court, the marchers
chanted “Hey, hey, ho, ho date rape
has got to go.”
Colie Hoffman, a sophomore pro
tester from Raleigh, said she felt she was
making campus a little safer for women.

DTH stands by Playboy ad;
students petition for change
BY CHRISTINE ELLIOTT
STAFF WRITER
On Thursday night, members of
three student groups entered The Daily
Tar Heel newsroom to protest die adver
tisement by Playboy magazine in
Tuesday’s paper.
Members of the Student
Environmental Action Coalition, the
Women’s Issues Network and
Advocates for Sexual Assault
Prevention presented members of the
DTH editorial staff with a petition
signed by 103 students.
The petition stated that the students
“respect the objectivity that the media
must observe in advertising and pro
mote freedom of speech,” but that “we
urge the advertising staff to reject
Playboy’s proposal for the devaluing and
exploitation of women on our campus
through carefully veiled misogyny.”
Although these and other students
roared in disapproval about the ad,
DTH representatives said they believed
they did nothing wrong.
Playboy recently sent the ad to all
ACC campus newspapers to recruit col
lege women to pose for its “Women of
the ACC” edition. But according to the

Placing Agency, which created the ad
campaign, UNC was the only school
that made it aware of complaints.
Sandra Moser, a senior journalism
and women’s studies major, said the ad
was inappropriate because this week is
Women’s Week. “It was totally incon
siderate and ignorant for the paper to
run the advertisement during Women’s
Week," she said. “Pornography defi
nitely harms women.”
Chrissy Beck, DTH advertising direc
tor, said the ad was placed in the paper
before she knew it was Women’s Week.
She also said the paper would not
have refused the ad had it known. The
DTH can refuse any ad but saw no rea
son to omit the Playboy one, she said.
“If it’s legal, then we’re going to run
it. (We) leave it to the reader to make
their own choice,” Beck said. “We need
to give more credit to the power of rea
soning of women on this campus.”
Eileen Hintz, retail advertising man
ager for the DTH, said she was dis
turbed by the campus’ negative reaction.
“What bothers me is that women on
this campus are smart enough to make
their own decisions,” she said. “All of a
