6 Wednesday, February 16, 2000 Church Group's Visits Spark Parents' Concern Bv Kate Hartig Staff Writer Lunchtime visits by a college reli gious group has prompted some East Chapel Hill High School parents to question the school’s visitation policy and the organization’s intent. Young Life, a Christian Ministry Outreach program, has about 70 volun teer UNC students who work with high school students. Sandra Cummings, an ECHHS school governance committee member, said parents had voiced concerns about the college students’ visits. The gover nance committee is comprised of par ents, faculty and students designed to oversee the activities in the school. “They are definitely within legal premises to visit the school,” she said. “But my main concern is that the clear intent of the club is to convert non- Christians, and 1 have a problem with that.” Clay Nolan, a senior at ECHHS who is involved with Young Life, said con cerned parents were unclear on the background of the Young Life program. “(Young Life leaders) don’t push any thing on the students at all,” he said. “The whole basis behind it is about being there for us.” ECHHS Principal David Thaden said student leaders had permission from the administration to visit students. “Technically, what they are doing is fine,” Thaden said. “They have lunch with a few kids who are in that group; they have come to lunch maybe five times over the year. It’s fairly benign.” Young life leader Sarah Fergusson, a UNC senior English major from Asheville, said she occasionally had lunch with students at ECHHS. **RESCMEIMIIJED^*RESCIfIEI>ULED**RESCHEDUI.ED** WST SAV N ° 70 SMOWm ATTEND THE It UCS INTERNSHIP FAIR Thursday, February 17, 2000 • Great Hall • 1 l:00am-3:00pm NEED HELP WITH YOUR RESUME.’ ASSISTANCE DUE TO A DISABILITY?

I go to see them and find out how they are doing.” Ty Saltzgiver, regional director for Young Life in North and South Carolina, said he did not view the issue of school visits as a problem. “We understand the delicate balance between (the separation of) church and state,” he said. “All meetings are off campus, usually at someone’s home.” Saltzgiver also added that there was a misunderstanding about the organiza tion. “There is no joining or member ship,” he said. “It’s not in our spirit to pressure anyone." Weekly Young Life has “club” meet ings that are open invitation. Students can come anytime they want and do not have to come every week. Hunter Lambeth, a 198!) UNC alum nus and former Young Life leader, said the program extended an open invita tion to all students. “People can come as they want,” he said. Lambeth, who now is the director of special projects for Young Life in Latin America, said. “There is no such thing as a member in Young Life, there are no fees. Kids are not measured or picked, it’s not like that at all." The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. Duke Protesters Demand Full Disclosure By Worth Civils Staff Writer Duke University students protesting for the disclosure of all factory locations manufacturing Duke apparel did not have a long wait before the administra tion met their demands. About 25 to 30 students protested for less than an hour outside Duke President Nannerl Keohane’s office Tuesday. Keohane was not there, but Executive Vice President Tallman Trask answered the students’ demands. Trask said he told the students that Duke was sending letters to the compa nies licensed to produce apparel for the university. He said the companies would have until Thursday to reply with the location of their factories. If the companies do not reply, they have 15 days before Duke could cancel their contracts. Casey Harrell, a senior and protest er, said 72 percent of the companies which hold licenses with Duke have dis closed their factory locations, but many of those were simply post office boxes. The original agreement, set after stu dent protests last February, called for full disclosure of factory locations by Jan. 1 of this year. “We had (Trask’s) signature on a piece of paper,” Harrell said, referring to the agreement from last February. “Duke took a stand last February to say locations would be disclosed byjanuary 1, and they weren't. We get more upset as dates get moved back.” Similar protests have been staged on the UNC campus. UNC students camped out in South Building for three nights last April, call ing for interim Chancellor Bill McCoy to require all licensees to disclose their location. Like Keohane, McCoy agreed to ajan. 1 deadline, but only about half of the companies UNC is licensed with News have provided the necessary informa tion. Todd Pugatch, a member of the UNC Licensing Labor Code Advisory Committee to the chancellor, said no protests calling for the remaining com panies to disclose their locations have occurred at UNC. But he said he planned to raise the issue at tonight’s advisory committee meeting. Pugatch also said he hoped the suc cessful protest at Duke would resonate Dilbert© dogbert consults *I r 111 I fAANAGETAENT IS ''j | ARE YOUR | PLANT?
