By Jenny Fowler
Staff Writer
APRIL 3- More than 80 participants
of the On the Wake of Emancipation
Campaign lined up in the Pit on Monday
to protest the mistreatment of minority
students, faculty and staff at UNC.
Participants, who were dressed head-to
toe in black clothing, congregated in the
Pit just before noon and prepared their
procession toward Saunders Hall and
their final destination, South Building, as
onlookers observed the crowd of demon
strators with curious eyes.
Monday’s protest coincided with The
Daily Tar Heel’s decision to run a col-

umn by David Horowitz, creator of the
controversial advertisement titled “Ten
Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery Is
a Bad Idea -and Racist Too.”
Horowitz sent the advertisement to
newspapers across the country late last
month. Protests erupted at several cam
puses nationwide that chose to run the
ad, including Duke University.
When Duke’s campus newspaper,
The Chronicle, ran the advertisement
March 19, more than 100 students
packed a campus lounge seeking to air
complaints to The Chronicle’s staff and
campus administrators.
Horowitz’s column in the DTH, which
expressed ideas similar to those in the
advertisement, prompted protest about
institutional racism at UNC, including
underpaid housekeepers and a lack of
funding for the Office of Minority Affairs.
OWEC spokeswoman Monique Hall
said the protest was not restricted to free
dom of speech or Horowitz point of view.
“The Horowitz article was more of a final
straw,” Hall said. “It pulled the nerve of
the numerous issues we’ve had on this
campus that attack students of color.”
OWEC members said the DTH
should not have run the editorial.
“There are many manifestations of
racism on this campus,” said sophomore
Fred Hashagen, an OWEC spokesman.
“The DTH’s decision to run the
(Horowitz) editorial is just one of them."

But DTH Editor Matt Dees said the
presentation of the Horowitz editorial,
rather than printing the ad itself, is not
racist but rather a freedom of expression.
“We shouldn’t just sweep somebody
under the rug because some people think
he is racist,” Dees said. “Calling us racist
for running someone’s views is ludicrous.”
Singing and clapping, protesters
marched to Saunders Hall and lined up
in front of the building named after the
former grand-wizard of North Carolina’s
chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. The pro
testers entered South Building and
dropped off their demands for change,
at the entrance of Chancellor James
Moeser’s office. Then they waited.

out and addressed the crowd. He said he
was pleased with the approach of the
OWEC protesters and said he would
look at the list of demands and plan a
time to meet with the protesters.
Members of the OWEC said they used
the protest both to promote awareness
around campus and to show the admin
istration that they are serious about push
ing for important changes to such matters
as the treatment of minority students.
But Hashagen was wary of the protest’s
immediate success in terms of adminis
trative action. “Only time will tell whether
or not anything will be done.”

Bush Sworn
In as 43rd
President
While facing poor weather
and swarms of protesters,
Bush asked Americans to
build a nation of service.
By Lucas Fenske
Assistant State & National Editor
WASHINGTON, JAN. 22 - George
W. Bush became the country’s 43rd pres
ident Saturday, re-emphasizing his cam
paign promises and calling for Americans
to devote themselves to public service.
The ceremony, counterpointed at
times by the distant screams of protest
ers and police sirens, marked the return
of the Bush family to the Oval Office
after former President Bill Clinton
defeated George Bush in 1992.
The two Bushes are the second father
and son to serve as president, after John
and John Quincy Adams. “1 ask you to
seek a common good beyond your
comfort, to defend needed reforms
against easy attacks, to serve your
nation - beginning with your neigh
bor,” Bush said, echoing John F.
Kennedy’s request for citizens to serve
their country 40 years before. “I ask you
to be citizens - citizens, not spectators;
citizens, not subjects; responsible citi
zens, building communities of service
and a nation of character.”
Bush emphasized history several times
during the ceremony - describing the
United States as a continuous story in his
address. But he did not let the past dis
tract him from the needs of the present -
including racial and social inequality.
“While many of our citizens prosper,
others doubt the promise, even the jus
tice, of our own country,” said Bush,
who calls his political message “com
passionate conservatism.”
“And this is my solemn pledge - I
will work to build a single nation of jus
tice and opportunity.”
Bush’s message of racial unity carried
over to his selection of an ethnically
diverse Cabinet - including Colin
Powell, the first black secretary of state.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators,
some dressed in cowboy boots and hats
from Bush’s home state of Texas and
others waving miniature American flags,
braved the cold weather and sporadic
rain to watch the inaugural ceremony.
Chiefjustice William Rehnquist swore
Bush in about noon, while Bush’s twin
daughters, Jenna and Barbara, looked on
and his wife, Laura, held the same Bible
used by George Washington during his
inaugural ceremony in 1789 and Bush’s
father in 1989. A 21-gun salute followed,
disturbing the city’s large population of
pigeons from their perches.
Bush, speaking on the steps of the
Capitol building, broadly outlined his
agenda -- re-emphasizing promises made
on the campaign trail for education, mil
itary and Social Security reforms.
“And we will reduce taxes to recov
er the momentum of our economy and
reward the effort and enterprise of
working Americans,” Bush added.
During the past weeks, Bush has
voiced concerns about problems posed
by a slowing economy and advocated
his $1.6 trillion plan for tax cuts as the
answer. Bush also departed from his
campaign rhetoric and thanked the
departing Clinton, who received
applause from the crowd, for his service
to the country.
Bush often emphasized cooperation
in his speech. “Our duty is fulfilled in ser
vice to one another. Never tiring, never
yielding, never finishing, we renew that
purpose today, to make our country
more just and generous, to affirm the dig
nity of our lives and every life.”
PLAN
From Page 3
With the approval of the Development
Plan, the University will not need the
council’s approval for projects included
in the plan. Instead UNC will need to
submit a site development plan to the
town manager for his signature.
Town residents expressed concern
that this process will prevent their voic
es from being heard.
“Blanket approval of the
Development Plan will effectively
remove residents’ input,” said Roy
Fauber of 311 E. Patterson Place. But to
encourage continued resident input, the
council unanimously approved a reso
lution that requests UNC to conduct
design workshops with town residents.
During the meeting, council mem
bers hinted that if they didn’t approve
the Development Plan, state legislators
might get involved.
“There’s sentiments in both the
House and the Senate in Raleigh that
the town of Chapel Hill has been too
hard on the University,” said council
member Bill Strom.
“And there’s sentiments that the
Board of Trustees will take this to
Raleigh if we don’t approve (the
Development Plan).”
