2 Tuesday, September 25, 2001 Fishing to Continue at University Lake By Jennifer Johnson Staff Writer Officials have announced that fishing will continue at University Lake despite efforts by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to ban the practice. The Orange Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors decided at its regular business meeting Sept 13 not to change its policy on fishing at University Lake. And OWASA board members and PETA protesters say the issue has lost salience in light of the recent terrorist attacks against the United States. Campus Calendar Today 5 p.m. - Interested in service?

I--jO The board ruled against PETA’s request to have fishing banned after Daniel Shannon, the group’s fishing campaign coordinator, gave a presentation arguing that fishing constitutes cruelty to animals. The timing of the meeting, held two days after the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania might have contributed to the board’s decision, some OWASA officials said. “The world is in crisis, and they’re protesting fishing,” said board member Mark Marcoplos. “It’s a shame to see so much activism wasted on trivial matters when there are real problems out there.” On Aug. 15, OWASA officials Ibam will hold a practice and informa tion session in Union 224.

In PETA’s statement, which is posted on its Web site, supporters claim fishing is a cruel practice because fish feel pain. The organization justifies its argument by saying, “without the ability to feel pain, they would not be able to survive.” In late August, Shannon said the group definitely would take action if OWASA failed to respond to its request. After his presentation, Shannon, while not pleased by the board’s deci sion, said he was satisfied with how the Wednesday 11 a.m. - Learn about opportunities to see the world.

All rights reserved Foreign Students May See More Restrictions By Nathan Coletta Staff Writer University officials are concerned international students will face more stringent restrictions in the wake of recent terrorist attacks and the possible conflict in the Middle East. One proposal already before the fed eral government requires foreign stu dents to pay a $95 fee, which would finance a national system to gather information and track students from for eign countries while in U.S. territory. In the proposal, the Immigration and Naturalization Service could contact any foreign student who drops out of school. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., also is considering drafting legislation which would prevent the government from issuing student visas for six months. Bob Miles, UNC study abroad direc tor, said he fears additional procedures will restrict foreign students’ ability to obtain visas. He said foreign students may undergo more security checks. There are more than 1,200 interna tional students at UNC. During the 1999-2000 school year, 514,723 foreign students studied in the United States, but only a small fraction of those came from the Middle East, Chapel Hill Pediatnts, PJL Welcomes State Health Employees We value our children of state employees as patients.

Jean Hughes, UNC International Center associate director, said she also expects more guidelines for keeping track of foreign students. Hughes said it is already more diffi cult for foreign students to obtain visas because some U.S. embassies have closed temporarily after the attacks. Rishi Chopra, president of the Association of International Students, said he did not think recent attacks and possible restrictions would discourage foreign students from studying at UNC. “UNC has a good school record and is not a terrorist target,” Chopra said. Miles said his office will continue to ensure UNC students traveling abroad are provided with maximum security. “We will be paying more attention to procedures we had in place to assist stu dents with their concerns and we will continue to advise them,” he said. “I would not discourage any student from studying abroad.” He said his office is open to students to discuss safety concerns. “I will continue to make the services of my office avail able to students if they feel threatened.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
