Vietnam memorial
honors fallen vets
By J. BONASIA
Staff Writer
Tens of thousands of U.S. military
veterans and members of their families are
gathered in Washington, D.C., today for a
national salute to Vietnam veterans. The
central event in the four-day observation
will be the dedication of the Vietnam
Veterans' Memorial on Saturday.
Some veterans have criticized the design
of the monument, which takes the form of
a wide, black V. The walls are inches deep
where they start and 10 feet deep where
they meet; they are covered with the
57,939 names of those who died in Viet
nam. It is located in a meadow beside the
pool which is at the base of the Lincoln
Memorial.
"I take the viewpoint that it looks like a
big tombstone marker," said Harold
Kellihan, a Cary resident who became
disabled serving as a sergeant in Vietnam
in 1968.
"I don't think enough vets had a say in
what design was chosen, and I just think
it's lousy," Kellihan added. "I think the
money would have been better served go
ing into employment services or job train
ing (for veterans), or at least into a better
design."
As a compromise to those who said they
felt as Kellihan does, the government has
approved a statue of three soldiers and a
flagpole to be located beside the Memorial
in a grove of trees. .
But others said they felt differently.
"We've all read of the dissatisfaction of
some people over this memorial," said
Billy Ray Cameron, a Sanford veteran
who was wounded twice while serving as a
corporal and squad leader in 1967 and
1968.
"It's hard to satisfy everyone,"
Cameron said. "I think they (the Vietnam
Veterans' Memorial Fund organizers) have
done a tremendous job in raising the
money. They are a small group that has
shown great dedication."
Cameron said he thought the memorial
was 10 or 12 years overdue, but it will
"heal some wounds."
"Most military commanders will agree
that the men who served in Vietnam were
some of the best troops in the world,"
Cameron said. "I think they got a raw deal
as far as recognition and support go."
Kert Southerland, a Raleigh resident
who served as a sergeant during the war,
agreed with Cameron.
"I think it's long overdue," he said.
Southerland lost a leg while serving in
the infantry. Although he was in favor of
the war at the time, he said he couldn't
help trying to put it out of his mind today.
"It's a lot of bad memories," he said.
"The combat part the deaths."
Southerland said he was glad to see the
recognition the Vietnam veterans are
receiving this week in Washington.

National Junior Vice Commander in Chief
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, is par

Refugee from Guatemala
speaks of social injustices
By STACIA CLAWSON
Staff Writer
The Guatemalan people are not ter
rorists or Communists; rather, they are
peaceful people who cannot continue liv
ing under the repressive government of
General Efrain Rios Montt, Petrona
Zapon, a Quiche Mayan Indian . and
refugee from Guatemala, said Tuesday
afternoon. The speech was sponsored by
the Carolina Coalition for Justice in Cen
tral America.
Speaking with the aid of an interpreter,
to an audience of about 20 in the Carolina
Union, Zapon said the Guatemalan army
killed and tortured people, leaving bodies
in the streets. Her nephew was killed by
the army because he did church work; her
family left its home because they fear for
their lives, she said.
Zapon, 28, left her native town, Santa
Cruz del Quiche, in December 1981.
She said the Guatemalan government
exploited the country's people and took
away their land. The peasants were then
forced into the mountains to live under
different conditions, she said.
The Catholic Church is instrumental in
organizing the Indians and helping better
people's lives, she said. However, the
government does not allow the Indians to
openly practice their religion.
"Even to have a Bible is a subversive

A petition calling for the impeachment
of Black Student Movement Chairperson
Wende Watson was presented Tuesday to
Watson and the group's Central Commit
tee, former BSM treasurer Harvey C.
Jenkins said Wednesday.
Jenkins," who organized the impeach
ment drive, said the petition bore
signatures from more than half of the
BSM general body membership. The peti
tion stated that Watson committeed "acts
jeopardizing the harmony of the BSM."
A Central Committee member, who
asked not to be identified, said the com
mittee felt it did not need to respond to the
petition.
"The whole petition is invalid because
Harvey is no longer a BSM or Central
Committee member," he said. Jenkins
was appointed treasurer by Watson three
weeks into the fall semester and resigned
Oct. 18 because of disagreements with the
Central Committee.
"Not only is he not a member, he did
not jfollow the (BSM) constitution in his
petition," the Central Committee member
said'. According to the constitution, 45
signatures from the general body member
ship and five from the Central Committee,
comprised of the group's leaders, are
needed to begin impeachment hearings
against the chairperson.
Jenkins currently has more than the
necessary 45 general body signatures, but
has no Central Committee signatures.
. Watson said Wednesday that Jenkins
could not be sure that the number of
signatures he had amounted to half the
general body membership.
"We've been informed of tactics that
misled people into signing,"- she said.
"The Central Committee is aware of the
charges and the petition, but for the silent
majority of our constituency, we're not
going to begin impeachment hearings.
"We're very disturbed that a certain
faction of the BSM is fighting among
themselves," Watson said. "We'd really
like to resolve any kind of problem that
people think exist."
Jenkins said he could not get the Central
Committee . signatures because "it's like
asking the (United States) president's
cabinet to impeach him.
"We'll either get her resignation, or
there will be an investigative hearing where
we'll find out how the general body feels,"
he added.
Jenkins said he obtained the signatures
by himself, and that almost all the BSM
members he talked to agreed that a hearing
was necessary.
But the unidentified Central Committee
member said Jenkins "misled people into
signing" by simply asking for a hearing
and not for Watson's impeachment.
"Harvey told them it was just to get
both sides of the issues and to get Wende to
respond," the member said. "The word
ing of the petition made it seem like it was
coming from the Central Committee. But
we didn't know anything about it.
"About five people have come to us
asking to have their names removed from
the petition," he said. "They said they
signed it because they were misled."
Black Ink editor Sonja Payton, a
;member of-th Central Cornrnitteer-said
there would not be an impeachment hear
ing unless Jenkins got five Committee
signatures. "If someone wants any ques
tions answered, they should attend a BSM
meeting and ask the qustion instead of
simply assuming an answer."
Jenkins said that, besides creating
disunity in the BSM, the charges against
Watson included: operating a petty cash
fund, which would not be allowed under
the Campus Governing Council Treasury
Laws; creating within the Central Com
mittee the- position, of "executive
assistant," which Jenkins said was not
provided for in the BSM constitution; and
holding closed meetings, including two
Central Committee meetings in which
Jenkins said he was denied access.
In responding to the allegations, the
Central Committee member said the cash
fund was discontinued when Watson
learned it was a violation of the Treasury
Laws.

Celebrated 30th anniversary
Hospital complex advances pro
By BONNIE FOUST
SUfI Writer
North Carolina Memorial Hospital celebrated
its 30th anniversary in October with an elaborate
display at University Mall. From the antiquated
iron lung to the new surgical techniques, the dis
play showed the advances medical science and
the hospital have made since 1952. Yet the exhi
bition was only a sampling of the hospital's
growth.
During the last three decades, Memorial has
expanded from 278,000 square feet in size to 1
million square feet. When the hospital first
opened its doors, there were only 78 beds and
388 full-time employees, including 92 faculty
physicians and 48 interns and residents. Now,
the hospital houses 700 beds and employs 3,400
people full-time, including 640 faculty physi
cians and 435 interns and residents.
Although this expansion has made the
hospital stronger, its real strength lies in its com-'
mitment to patient care, medical education and
community service, said Eric Munson, general
director of the hospital. . . . ,
"The hospital's strongest fiber is the number
of purposes for it being here patient services,
producing manpower, clinical research and
community services," Munson said.
"These four elements create our strength.
The quality of everything we do is related to
these four missions and is a by-product of each
factor. The quality of education is related to pa
tient care and quality of patient care is related to
education," he said. , '
NCMH's and UNC School of Medicine's
desire to produce quality physicians is as strong
as any in the nation, he said. The medical school
and the hospital is "blessed with a medical staff
whose professional and technial capabilities are
extraordinary," Munson said. '
.In 1980, the Liaison Committee on Medical
Education accredited the school for a maximum
10-year term. The percentage of research done
by medical scientists at the school was ranked
fifth in overall quality by the National Institute
of Health. Plus, the school had a NIH funding
success reate that was ninth best among U.S.
medical schools.
Such accolades for any medical school are im
pressive. But the success of the UNC medical
school is even more impressive because the
school was able to move from a two-year to
four-year program, partly due to the construc
tion of Memorial Hospital. , . .
"The growth of a two-year to a four-year in
stitution involves a huge transformation
because of the additional course work and re
search involving patient care, as well as research
on diagnosis and diagnostic treatment," said
Dr. Stuart Bondurant, Dean of the UNC School
of Medicine. .
"Of the medical schools that were founded or
expanded in the early 1950s, this school in my
judgement has done one of the very best jobs of
that expansion and transformation," he said.
"Part of the reason that it was such a good job
is due to the strength and effectiveness of the
hospital."
The medical school stands out in several
areas. For example, the work the School has
done with blood clotting is known all over the
world, Bondurant said.
"The school is famous for its treatment of
respiratory diseases in children; the study of the
cause and treatment of cancer; and the study of
cause,1 treatment and prevention of kidney
disease. It is also famous for neurophysiology
( and neurosurgery," he said.
Moreover, the school nd the hospital is

WARSAW, Poland Thousands of Poles
shouting "Solidarity Lives!" and "Down with the
Junta!" battled riot police in Warsaw, Wroclaw
and Nowa Huta Wednesday. But tough measures
by the martial law regime apparently stymied na
tionwide work stoppages called by the union's
underground leaders.
Workers staged sporadic minor protests and stop
pages in about 20 towns and cities, and there were
student protests in four cities, according to reports
from Western correspondents, the official news
agency PAP and government sources.
Polish television said 270 people were detained
after street clashes in Warsaw, and Western
reporters said at least six people were detained in
Wroclaw. .
Polish television said police detained more than
300 people in Warsaw, more than 250 in Wroclaw
and 94 in Nowa Huta and Krakow after street
clashes. The broadcast also said police seized more
than 60 people in Legnica, 40 in Poznan, 26 in Lodz
and 16 in Dzierzoniow, near Walbrzych, but gave
no further details.
The broadcast said rioting left 17 police officers
injured, hospitalizing three with one in serious con
dition, and sent 10 civilians to hospitals, including
another person in serious condition.
"This positive balance of events allows us to
hope : . . that martial law can be lifted before the
end of this year if political, economic and social
conditions are still favorable," government
spokesman Jerzy Urban told a news conference.
In Washington, President Reagan accused the
Polish government of "declaring war on its own
