Staff Report
Starting today, applications are avail
able to be the next editor of The Daily
Tar Heel and to sit on the committee
that will choose the leader of the paper
for the 2000-01 school year.
The forms can be picked up in the
DTH front office in Suite 104 of the

other UNC student offices.
Since then, however, the editor has
Carolina, Speak Out!
A weekly DTH online poll
Should the S.C. legislature get rid of the Confederate flag?
50% say yes 50% say no
That flag represents and is a dedication to the thousands of young southern men
who left their families and homes to fight for the Confederate cause in which they
believed. The red on that flag only represents the blood those men shed.

As an African-American, I find it offensive; as a South Carolina native, I find it
embarrassing; and as a person living tn the 21st century, 1 definitely find it outdated.
Sabrina Saber
Graduate Student, Aiken, S.C.
No, because the flag is a symbol of the state’s heritage. It is not a symbol of support
of slavery as many people would like to believe but rather a symbol of pride in its
history and culture. I wish that North Carolina would raise the flag as well.

Medical Fellowship Winner to Aid Minorities
By Katy Nelson
Staff Writer
A weekend gala honored the legacy
of the fourth black graduate of the UNC
School of Medicine and stressed the
need of bringing medicine to under
served communities.
The Student National Medical
Association sponsored the 20th annual
Lawrence Zollicoffer Lecture on Friday,
which culminated with the evening ban
quet.
The lecture began in 1981 by mem
bers of the UNC chapter of the associa
tion, an organization that supports
minority medical students.
Dr. Lawrence Zollicoffer was the
fourth black graduate of the UNC
School of Medicine and founder of the
Garwyn Medical Center in Baltimore.

Classes missed onjan. 26 and 27 will
be made up on March 2.5 and April 8
respectively.

selection committee for about an hour
each on April 8.
“It’s an incredibly demanding job,
but any student with a love of journalism
and a strong knowledge of how this
place works should apply,” said Rob
Nelson, current DTH editor.
Interested applicants for both editor
and the selection committee should call
Nelson at 962-4086 or Janet Gallagher
Cassel, the general manager of the
D TH, at 962-0.520 if they have addi
tional questions.
This year, the committee will choose
the 134th editor of the paper who will
lead the DTH into its 108th year.
Lawrence Zollicoffer, presented a
$1,500 fellowship to Manoj Menon, a
second-year medical student who has
designed a medication education project
for the elderly.
Menon plans to hold workshops in
black churches in Durham and to train
health education students enrolled in an
aging and public health course at N.C.
Central University.
Menon said he felt honored to have
received the Zollicoffer fellowship.
“I think Dr. Lawrence Zollicoffer’s
ideals and commitment to service have
shown us that the health of communities
is necessary in improving the health of
individuals,” Menon said.
Karen Derrington, co-president of the
Student National Medical Association,
said the fellowship was a central part of
the organization’s mission to bring med
icine to underserved communities.
we’d missed so many classes, but I def
initely disagree with having to go to
class on a Sunday morning,” said fresh
man Sarah Slater.
Slater attended a Chemistry 21 class
that missed an additional week due to
her professor’s sickness.
Chemistry Professor Eugene Irene,
who teaches Slater’s class, said his stu
dents rose to the occasion with attitudes
that were typical for the early morning
8 a.m. course. “It wasn’t a big deal,” he
said.

J) This Week in Tar Heel History...
50 Years Ago:
[ I ■ This week in 1950, The Tar Heels destroyed the Blue
V 1 Devils on the basketball court. Nemo Nearman led UNC
\ \ with 18 points to help the team score 64 to Duke
\AA University's 46.
25 Years Ago:
■ This week in 1975, The UNC School of Public Health proposed a ban on
smoking in classrooms. The majority of students surveyed supported the deci
sion, but others recommended that professors designate a smoking section.
10 Years Ago:
■ This week in 1990, The UNC Elections Board decided to hold a re-election
for student body president after discovering that candidate Bill Hildebot tore
down another candidate's campaign signs. The act was a violation of Section
5 of Title VI in the Student Code.
“It’s not time for affirmative
action to be thrown away,
but I hope we are moving
in that direction. ”

Zollicoffer Fellowship Presenter
“We offer this scholarship so people
will continue our efforts in a broad
sense,” Derrington said.
A. Dennis Mcßride, state health
director, delivered the Zollicoffer lecture
earlier Friday. His lecture was titled
“Acting Outside the Box: The Challenge
of Health Disparities.”
Mcßride also spoke at the banquet. “I
can remember a time when we (minori
ties) weren’t able to sit in this room,”
Undergraduate and Davis Libraries held
extended hours for students during the
makeup day.
The Department of Public Safety
enforced parking regulations in a regu
lar, weekday manner, ticketing cars
without proper permits.
Many students were displeased by
the University’s decision to hold classes
on the weekend.
Senior Adam Russell said, “It’s not
one of the more intelligent things the
University has done.”
Sophomore Rebecca Dunham said
the University waited too long before
they made their decision to hold week
end classes.
“A lot of professors already changed
their syllabus to make up for the lost
days,” Dunham said.
University officials announced their
official decision Feb. 8.
The decision was prompted by a
UNC-system requirement mandating
all system schools to have 150 class
days.
“It’s very difficult to make up those
missed days without dipping into vaca-

Mcßride said of the George Watts Hill
Alumni Center banquet hall.
“I sense that you have a community
here at this medical school... there are
problems, but there is a lot to be proud
of, and 1 think that the importance of
what you are doing here today will pay
off in the long run,” he said.
Michael Zollicoffer also spoke, thank
ing people of all colors for supporting
his father’s vision of equality in medi
cine.
“My dad believed in the disadvan
taged. We want to do this (fellowship)
for all students - not just minorities,”
Zollicoffer said.
“It’s not time for affirmative action to
be thrown away, but I hope we are mov

tion,” said Irene.
Despite the system requirement,
Dunham said she thought the decision
was unfair.
“The weekend is everybody’s time to
relax, to catch up on homework or
sleep,” Dunham said. “The University
took that away from us.”
Russell said the makeup day was a
waste of time, especially for professors
who taught a class with dramatically low
attendance.
“ The professors had to be here when
they could’ve been doing other things,”
Russell said.
Dunham said six out of about 20 to
2.5 students attended her physics class.
Attendance was reduced by almost half
in Slater’s class, which typically had 200
students.
“Probably 90 percent of the student
body didn’t go to class,” Russell said.
“T he University can expect it to hap
pen again on the next two makeup
days.” ,
