advertising their show and hang all
their work in the studio’s gallery.
Although Suggs didn’t have a
specific theme in mind as she cre
ated the art for the show, she said,
the similar shapes in her work tie
the pieces together.
“I felt like everything I was
doing was kind of random, but
now that it’s all done, it’s all very
similar,” she said. “So it’s kind of
nice. It came together, and I wasn’t
planning it that way at all.”
The first opening event for “sym
biosis” will be held at Bleeker Street
Studios’ gallery Friday from 6 to 9
p.m. The artists’ reception will be
held April 16 from 6 to 9 p.m., and
the show will run until May 9.
Although Suggs’ priority is
preparing for the show, she might
have to apply for anew job sooner
than she’d planned. Suggs’ housing
situation for next year fell through,
and she is considering applying for
a job at the buying office for Urban
Outfitters or Anthropologie, both of
which Suggs said value employees
with a young, creative perspective.
For now, Suggs is focusing on
the satisfaction of being able to put
her studio art degree to use in the
real world. “I’m just more excited
about actually finishing, having
something to show for it.”
MacDonald nears finish line
It was a year of late nights at his

walli to his office in New East. A
year of graphs, statistics, tedium,
writing and even more revising.

while but ultimately result in a
weaker, less competitive economy.
“The countries that are extreme
ly competitive today may be less so
tomorrow,” said Bob Cohen,
spokesman for ITAA. When the
worldwide playing field is leveled,
he said, competition will deter
mine where the jobs go.
But Steven Levine, interim
director of the Carolina Asia
Center, said the solutions to out
sourcing problems go beyond mere
economics. “I think that economic
arguments in terms of maximum
efficiency and profits are far from
being the only decisions one has to
make,” Levine said. “These are
human issues as I see them, not
just corporate issues.”

the end of writing his dissertation,
he said he wouldn’t have spent the
past year doing anything else.
The final product, which
MacDonald has almost completed
and will defend in May, will mean
a great deal more to him than the
400 pages that comprise it.
“With everything you do in life ...
you do remember the hardship,”
said the fifth-year doctoral candi
date. “But it’s always something
you’re proud of, that you followed
something through from beginning
to end, and you’ve accomplished it.”
The scale and unique topic of his
dissertation have meant a lonely
life, but he already is starting to see
promising results. He has a tele
phone interview today with the
Cuyahoga County Planning
Commission in Cleveland, Ohio,
and a personal interview Thursday
with the Center for Urban Studies
at Detroit’s Wayne State University.
He’s also in contact with other
potential employers, but he still
hasn’t applied for any jobs outside
of a 365-mile radius of his home
town in Detroit —and he hopes not
to. Yet he understands that things
might not mesh with his plans.
Job opportunities aside,
MacDonald said, he appreciates
the opportunity the project has
given him to test his potential as a
student and as a researcher.
“I think this is the only time in
life when you can work on a huge
process, and it’s exactly as you
wanted it to be,” he said. “You want
to use this time... to show yourself
that you can do good work that
you’re capable of.”

But Levine said that in the long
term, globalization could benefit
the entire world.
The worldwide benefits in the
long term, Levine said, will out
weigh the advantages of protec
tionist policies in the United States
in the short term.
Instead, he suggested that the
United States develop ways to com
bat the immediate unemployment
that will be produced in manufac
turing and service industries. “For a
long time now the United States has
been in a very privileged position in
the global economy.... To the extent
that outsourcing of jobs is connect
ed to the redistribution of wealth
around the globe, I think that is a
larger social justice,” Levine said.

All 16 UNC-system schools par
ticipated in the event throughout
the week, ASG President Jonathan
Ducote said.
Some private universities and
community colleges also took part.
The event seeks to partner stu
dents with local volunteer organi
zations.
Cohen said that he expected
about 5,000 participants this year
but that he hopes that number will
continue to grow in years to come.
The Chapel Hill project kicked
off Saturday morning in Polk Place
with a speech by School of Law
Dean Gene Nichol, who empha
sized the importance of public
service at a state university such as
UNC-Chapel Hill.
“There ought to be a great cor
relation between the work we do

out, marking the first time in the
event’s history that participants
outnumbered tents.
Campers borrowed two tents
from the Black Student
Movement’s Relay for Life team,
and some chose to sleep indoors
and on the pavement in sleeping
bags.
“It’s really easy to look down on
(the homeless),” said Alpha Phi
Alpha member Brian Foxx, a sen
ior from Fayetteville.
“The fact of the matter is the
that it can happen to anyone. It
can happen to you.”
Jarrod Jenkins, a sophomore
member from Atlanta, organized
this year’s sleepout and noted that,
despite adverse weather, fraterni
ty members and guests remained
throughout the night.
“Despite it being quite cold and
extremely windy, people continued
to sleep outside,” he said.
Jenkins also remarked on the
different facets of the project from
campus to community and was
thrilled with the efforts of all
involved. “We all put in work.
We’ve all done our part,” Jenkins
said.
“This is the first project I’ve
spearheaded, so I’m very excited.”
In addition to campus dona
tions, local businesses contributed
to the event, with Papa John’s and

state,” he said to the group of about
50 participants from UNC-CH.
“Your commitment to public to
public service is so essential.... The
greatest American value of all
American values is that we’re all in
this together.”
UNC-CH Student Body
President Matt Tepper and Student
Body President-elect Matt Calabria
also were in attendance and partic
ipated in service projects.
One of the unique aspects of
Service North Carolina is that it
links with other service organiza
tions to plan projects, said Sanja
Bosman, co-chairwoman of the
effort’s Chapel Hill branch.
Following the opening ceremo
ny, participants broke up into
smaller groups assigned to proj
ects, ranging from pulling weeds at
Coker Arboretum to staffing the
American Cancer Society’s Relay
for Life.
Student volunteers also staffed a
three-on-three basketball touma-
“The Chapel Hill community
has been very receptive,” Jenkins
said.
The group kept busy throughout
the night, barbecuing, playing bas
ketball, cards and games, and
entertaining visitors, friends and
curious onlookers.
“This is one of my favorite proj
ects,” Foxx said.“lt brings the issue
of homelessness to the college stu
dent.”
Despite the upbeat nature of the
evening, the members continued
to emphasize the severity of the
area’s homeless problem, an issue
that often goes overlooked in afflu
ent places such as Chapel Hill.
“Being from Chapel Hill, lots of
people aren’t faced with this,”
Jenkins said.

“I think this is a very effective
way to give back to North
Carolina,” said Calabria, who
helped with the Arboretum proj
ect. “We’re trying to build bridges
between the University and the
state.”
ASG leaders said they hope
Service North Carolina will spread
throughout the state and eventual
ly become an independent organi
zation.
“For the time being, we’re the
incubator,” Ducote said. “The plan
is for Service North Carolina to
become independent next year.
“It’s such a wonderful project,
and it should be owned by the state
of North Carolina, not the associ
ation.”

“I think it’s a chance for people
to leave their comfort zone. It puts
things in perspective. It’s repre
sentative of some of the struggle
they go through.”
The event not only raised
awareness for homelessness but
also gave the members of Alpha
Phi Alpha an opportunity to
demonstrate their commitment to
the community.
“It just shows that we have a
legacy of service that we want to
uphold,” said member Deone
Powell, a senior from Whitakers.
“We’re not here to solve prob
lems; we’re just here to raise
awareness.”

when you don’t have a job or if you
don’t have the skills to get anew
job, or if the job you have today
pays half what it paid two years
ago,” Bowles said.”
Bowles also spoke of the ideas
he had for issues closer to the
minds and wallets of North
Carolinians.
He said free trade agreements
have been lopsided and that other
countries need to open their doors
to U.S. businesses seeking profit in
foreign markets.
Although he said reform was
necessary, he added that the lack
of enforcement of existing trade
agreements was a large sore spot
in current policy.
“I’m not going to vote for a sin
gle trade agreement until we start
enforcing the ones we have on the
books,” he said.
In addition to increasing
tourism revenue in the state and
making infrastructure and tech
nology changes in North Carolina,
Bowles said one of his pivotal goals
would be to fight for tobacco buy
out legislation.
“We have to have the tobacco
buyout,” he said. “It is absolutely
critical. You’re going to have to have
somebody who will fight for it”
But the most important thing,
Bowles said, was the future, repre
sented by the faces in the room.
“This race is not about me,”
Bowles said in his concluding
remarks. “This race in this election
this year is about you. You are the
future. It’s your future that I’m
fighting for.”
