Viewpoints will offer multiple perspectives Past readers of The Daily Tar Heel’s opinion page should be familiar with our stan dard fare. Members of the DTH Editorial Board debate issues and write unsigned editorials, weekly col umnists express personal views, cartoonists convey their thoughts through their art and the Readers' Forum section relays what some readers are thinking. The daily material on the opinion page could be consid ered a hodgepodge of ideas brought together on a single page to highlight the divide between the news and opinion sides of the paper. It’s the job of the editorial READERS’ FORUM General Assembly is wise to keep airport in operation TO THE EDITOR: Bravo to the state legislature for keeping Horace Williams Airport open. It’s always easy to put build ings on empty land but never easy to remove them once they are built. Conversely, once an airport is closed it never re-opens. The trends in aviation show a bright future for smaller aircraft. Businesses and individuals are increasingly choosing personal planes as airlines increase the diffi culty of flying and raise their fares. Not only that, but the use of the airport for University health servic es for the entire state is invaluable. With the right vision, UNC can make the airport a revenue maker instead of a revenue taker. CHRIS CAMERON BOARD MEMBER HILLSBOROUGH, N.C.

We do our best to provide meaningful analysis of campus affairs, but the DTH certainly won't be doing it alone. Students, faculty and staff members at the University constantly are work ing in the environment of ideas that this paper is responsible for covering. We rely on those active and engaged individuals to hold to us to a standard of fairness and accuracy. The Viewpoints page should An aviation-related curriculum could be initiated conceivably to offset costs the University incurs, not to mention the federal funding that could be secured with the right representation in the right places. In time the decision will prove to be the better one. All that is needed now is for the University to see the airport as an asset rather than a liability and to act accordingly.

As the associate editorial page editor, it will be my responsibil ity to choose a theme for every Viewpoints page and to solicit the opinions of people with authority on each respective topic. In the past, these pages have centered on news events and given space to guest columnists who have provided opposing sets of views on a variety of issues. One of my favorite Viewpoints from last semester posed the question of how to recognize the University’s heritage when con sidering Cornelia Spencer and the white supremacy that she and people who want to see West House preserved also support the proposed Arts Common. But the University has not been convincing in its asser tion that the planning for the Arts Common is too far along to incorpo rate West House into the design. Among the many possible uses for the house and its charm ing garden (such as, for example, guest quarters for visiting artists or a cafe), the idea of a front door to the Arts Common and the entire campus is particularly excellent. Pedestrian-friendly, full of charm and perfectly located, West House would be the ideal entry point for any visitor to UNC. The University should not permit inertia and a failure of imagination to defeat this golden opportunity. West House would immeasurably enhance UNC’s interface with DANIEL DAVID BOARD MEMBER CHICAGO, ILL.

They argued that the award, which honors the contribution of women at UNC, inappropriately remembers a woman with a record of bigotry. Spencer, who also has a resi dence hall named for her, is often associated with her efforts to reopen the University after its brief closing from 1871 to 1875. But, as contended by Yonni Chapman, a graduate student in history, Spencer's involvement in the white supremacist movement that closed the University in 1871 is not as well known.
