6 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2005 Group praises decision to eliminate Bell Award BY JACKI SPIES AND GREG STEEN STAFF WRITERS Calling for a representative task force to foster campuswide discussions about the University’s controversial past, the Campaign for Historical Accuracy and Truth submitted a petition to Chancellor James Moeser on Thursday. A task force to study how the University’s history relates to today must be created so that UNC is mindful of its history as it moves into the future, proponents of the change said. “We just felt we needed to let the chancellor know that those of us concerned with these issues are still here,” said Yonni Chapman, a graduate student who was a lead ing force in the Cornelia Phillips Spencer Bell Award controversy. These issues were also of press ing concern at the Faculty Council meeting Friday.

The committee also will develop guidelines to govern how to treat people who have been historically ingrained in the campus but also could be the object of controversy. As the nation’s first public uni versity, history is visible in the names of the buildings and memo rial statues scattered throughout UNC’s campus. The majority of these buildings were constructed by black slaves. Today, there are few testaments to their contributions. “I think the University has a very whitewashed history,” said David Brannigan, member of the cam paign and groundskeeper at UNC.

The site would offer candid information about all of the campus’s historical figures. “We want to be honest about it,” Moeser said. Members of the campaign said it is important for the University to acknowledge its past before it can successfully move into the future. In the petition, the group praised Moeser’s decision to retire the Cornelia Phillips Spencer Bell Award. “When you walk around cam pus, it looks like the only people who did anything important were white men and, as it turns out, a lot of those white men were slave owners or were involved in white supremacy campaigns,” Chapman said. “The University needs to face up to that and acknowledge it.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

The SSOO his team received last year didn’t cover the total costs of tournament fees, travel, uniforms and practice equipment. Team members are expected to supple ment their allocations through fund raising or paying club dues. “The main objective of our soccer team is to practice and play it’s not to fund-raise,” Perrelle said. With a $20,000 boost in funding next year, more than 50 sports club teams should reap the benefits of a $2-per-student increase in campus recreation fees. The total club sports allocations will reach SIOO,OOO. “It’s one of the best achieve ments we’ve pushed through (for club sports) in years,” Student Body President Matt Calabria said. Calabria said there was a popular mandate behind the move because of the teams’ rapid growth at UNC. “Through a marginal increase in the campus recreation fee and Abortion coverage faces scrutiny BY MATT BOWLES STAFF WRITER Some state senators are seeking to alter the state’s health care policy to prohibit its coverage of abortions, and while most say the measure isn’t likely to pass this year, it will receive serious consideration. The bill, filed Wednesday by Sefti. Andrew Brock, R- Davie, would bar state employees from receiving benefits to finance abortion. Brock said the legislation would make exceptions for cases involving rape, incest or the life of the mother. Because the issue is contro versial, Brock said, state revenue should not be allocated to fund abortions. “I don’t think the tax payers of North Carolina should be paying for abortions.” Sen. Robert Pittenger, R- Mecklenburg, a co-sponsor of the bill, also said tax revenue should not be directed to finance abortion. He added that the bill is consis tent with his views on abortion. “I value life,” Pittenger said. “Every life, born and unborn, is also reprioritization among money already in campus recreation, we freed up some more money for club sports,” Calabria said. Much public debate has centered on a recent proposal to increase the campus athletic fee by $l5O dur ing the next two years. The increase will provide a stable funding source for merit-based scholarships and Olympic sports teams. But with about one-tenth of the student body participating in club sports, several students said more focus should be placed on the cam pus recreation fee, which funds club sports, intramurals, addition al security for athletic facilities, increased staff salaries and part time employees’ wages. “Twenty thousand dollars seems like a generous endowment, but among 50 teams, it only goes so far,” Perrelle said. Officials said that this year, increased importance was placed on club sports’ needs, which will warrant a significant portion of the increased funding. Director of Campus Recreation Marty Pomerantz said club sports teams receive significantly more precious.” The bill has received fervid sup port from the N.C. Right to Life, and President Barbara Holt said the organization will lobby to pass the bill. She said the proposed change represents the opinion of a major ity of North Carolinians both those supporting abortion rights and those opposing them. “Even people who support keeping abor tion legal do not support having their tax dollars to go to pay for it.” But there is a large coalition of women’s rights groups and progres sives actively committed to defeat ing the bill, said Paige Johnson, director of public affairs for Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina “We don’t think politicians should make reproductive health care decisions for women,” she said. The State Employees Association of North Carolina has not taken a stance on this proposal. The members themselves are responsible for setting the association’s policy platform, said Communications Director Sherry (Dip 5mU? aar Hppl than monetary support in terms of administrative aid. They benefit from the help of a full-time intern and a full-time director. “You get complaints from every body that they don’t receive as much as they would like,” Pomerantz said. Courtney English, vice president of the Sport Clubs Council, said she knew Calabria and the adminis tration were working to help club sports receive more funding. “Of course you always want more, but we are grateful for what we got.” The two candidates left in the race for student body president both pledge to advocate for increased funding for club sports including working to turf intramural fields. Candidate Seke Ballard’s platform includes plans-to work to have varsity sports teams donate old equipment to intramural and club teams. Candidate Seth Dearmin, who received an endorsement from the Sport Clubs Council, will work to invest money into lighting the University-owned Rainbow Fields, located on Cleland Drive.

Although the organization opposes all cuts to state employ ees’ benefits, Melton said she is not sure it will exert much effort to fight the measure. “Just as it’s a hot issue in the public, it’s probably a very controversial issue among our membership,” she said. Sen. Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, said he opposes the bill. “I don’t think the legisla ture should be making this kind of decision. We pay for the health cov erage of persons ... and the things deemed medically necessary by the health panel are covered.” Rand added that the proposal like ly will fail in the General Assembly, and even the sponsors are uncertain the majority exists to pass the bill. Yet Pittenger remains optimistic about the future. “There is a move ment nationally, and even in our state, against abortion,” he said. “The tide is turning.” Contact the State £sf National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
