Forum focuses on race relations

...group met to discuss race relations
By KYLE MARSHALL
Staff Writer
About 40 UNC students participated in a race relations forum Wed
nesday night in an attempt to confront the problem of racism.
Although a wide range of topics was discussed at the forum, the em
phasis was on identifying problems black and white students have in
teracting with each other. Solutions to the problems will be discussed
in later meetings, coordinators of the forum said.
The forum was sponsored by the Human Relations Committee of
the Carolina Union and the University Relations Committee of Stu
dent Government.
Racial problems identified by the group Wednesday night fell into
two main categories: failure of students to acknowledge racial prob
lems at the University and limited interaction between students of dif
ferent races. '
"We could talk all night about minority recruitment, percentages of
minority students and percentages of minority facultyr and we, as in
dividuals, wouldn't get anywhere," said Archie Copeland, associate
director of the Union. Copeland coordinated the forum.
"Where we can make a difference is at the personal level: dealing
with ignorance, taking risks and confronting others," he said.
Forum participants agreed. "The Union is a good way, on the inter
personal level, of getting blacks and whites to work together," one
student said. -
The meeting's format was informal: students met in groups of two
to discuss and identify problems with race relations, then each pair of
students met with another pair. Following about 20 minutes of con
versation, the participants formed five large groups to share their con
cerns with the others.
Some of the main concerns raised by students included reluctance to
acknowledge a racial problem, unwillingness to confront peers about
racism, racial imbalance among students and faculty and a lack of in
teraction between black and white students in social settings.
Copeland said groups such as the Black-White Dialogue and Stu
dent Government's Race Relations Class conducted last spring were
effective because they dealt with the problem on the personal level.
"Those groups talk about you and me," Copeland said. "We
should also have these forums like we're planning."
Senior Perry Green told the group that he had attended the race
relations class, but wasn't impressed. "(Speech professor Paul)
Brandes (faculty adviser to the class) is a fine instructor, but he doesn't
really know the black experience, and he doesn't know what's gone on
with blacks for 375 years," Green said. "If you have a class like that,
you need to have an instructor who can deal with the issues beneath
the surface." , ,
Leigh Leutze, a senior, emphasized the need for the participants to
cooperate with each other. "We need to work together, instead of
against each other," she said.
Before the discussions began, the students saw a film in which com
edian Bill Cosby depicted a racist criticizing a variety of ethnic and
racial minorities in the United States.
Jessie Kome, chairperson of the Union's Human Relations Com
mittee, said after the forum that the two committees planned to
evaluate responses and ideas the participants submitted. There will be
another meeting in about two weeks, she said.
Student Government's University Relations co-chairperson Clinton
Jones said he was elated with the progress of the meeting. "What I'd
like to see now are forums with single-issue discussions," he said.
"It's our job now to reach out and appeal to others."
After the forum, Leutze said she had been concerned about race
relations at the University for several years. She said she felt Wednes
day's meeting was a positive step.
"It's important for the members to listen to each other and be
attentive to each other's needs," she said. "I'd hate to see us waste our
energies on frictions among the members of the group."
"We can't waste time trying to decide who's to blame for racial
problems," she said.
'DTH'
Board criticizes dit proposal
Kyser
From page 1
. By CHARLES ELLMAKER
Staff Writer
The Daily Tar Heel Board of Directors Wed
nesday criticized the proposed DTH Treasury
Laws as being "punitive" rather than being a
method for greater student accountability.
Under the treasury laws proposed recently
by an outside auditing firm, the DTH will be
required to place all of its funds in the Student
Activity Fund Office, participate in the Cam
pus Governing Council budgeting process and
establish new control procedures between the
paper and SAFO to assure more student ac
countability. DTH board members said Wednesday they
thought the document was somewhat biased
against the paper, and was an unfair restriction
of the business operations of the DTH. It could
restrict the editorial freedom of the paper, they
said.
That bias grew out of the contracting of
SAFO's auditor to produce the report, board
members said.
They also objected to the use of the firm
Burnstein, Cohen and Landis, because board
members had agreed with CGC Finance Com
mittee Chairperson Charlie Madison (District
23) that the Finn used would not be connected ,
with either the DTH of SAFO.
Because of personality and accounting pro
cedure discrepancies between the DTH and
SAFO, the newspaper removed its advertising
funds from SAFO in May 1982, and placed
them in a separate bank account, a move which
. the Audit Board later said was a violation of
"It took a constitutional amendment to bring the DTH out
from under the control of the CGC. I don't think they (the
students) intended for that decision to be able to be reversed
by a simple act of the CGC. "
Mike Vandenbergh,
student body president
the Treasury Laws.
Under the Student Constitution, the DTH
receives 16 percent of student fees each
semester, making all of its revenue subject to
the Treasury Laws, the Audit Board said.
The DTITs removal of its advertising
revenue from SAFO prompted the CGC
Finance Committee to begin an investigation
last semester into the financial matters of the
paper, and eventually to contract a firm to es
tablish a separate set of Treasury Laws. The
laws were designed to ensure student account
ability while retaining enough flexibility to
allow the DTH to operate its business effi
ciently. Madison said he chose Burnstein, Cohen
and Landis because firms in the Chapel Hill
area were reluctant to do the report.
But Rejeanne Caron, business manager for
the DTH, said she contacted all of the CPA
firms in both Chapel Hill and Durham, all of
which were not contacted by either the. Audit
Board or Madison.
At the board meeting, Madison said Audit
Board Chairperson Don Yount had suggested
using Burnstein after calling several firms in
Raleigh..

Yount said Thursday that he had told
Madison that Burnstein would be a logical
choice , given that firm's familiarity with
SAFO. This way, time and money could be
saved, but he said he did tell Madison that an
outside firm could be used.
But before a final list of firms could be com
pleted, Madison already had placed Burnstein
on the funding bill to be passed by the CGC,
Yount said.
When Madison presented the proposed
DTH Treasury Laws to the CGC Tuesday for
approval, neither the DTH Board nor the
paper had been informed that Burnstein had
been contracted or that the firm's report had
been completed.
"We have been treated unfairly," DTH
Board Chairperson Janet Hart said at the CGC
meeting. "We were never informed about any-
thing. And we were promised that the firm us
ed would be unconnected with either SAFO or
the DTH."
Hart went on to say that the proposed laws
could hurt the editoriaPfreedom of the paper,
cost the paper thousands of dollars more each
year in bookkeeping, auditing costs and lost
interest revenue, and would strip the board of
its main function, approving the budget of the
paper;
And Student Body President Mike Vanden
bergh questioned the validity of enacting laws
which would strip the DTH of its autonomy.
"It took a constitutional amendment to
bring the DTH out from under the control of
the CGC," Vandenbergh said during the CGC
meeting. "I don't think they (the students)
intended for that decision to be able to be re
versed by a simple act of the CGC."
CGC Student Affairs Committee Chairper
son Dennis Bartels (District 10) said constitu-.
tional funding carried certain implications of
autonomy.
"I think those groups (the DTH, the Union
and the Graduate and Professional Student
Federation) are constitutionally funded for a
reason," Bartels said. "I think they were
meant to be autonomous."
and the band starred in seven movies and ap
peared in several others.
Then something happened in Kyser's life
which was difficult to explain. He withdrew
from radio and movies and began working full
time for the Christian Science Church, despite
numerous offers of jobs in show business. Ap
parently he simply was tired of the show biz life.
'.'When he decided to quit, he quit complete
ly," said Orville Campbell, publisher of The
Chapel Hill Newspaper and a friend of Kyser's
since the '40s. "He said he got no satisfaction
out of entertaining after seeing how much the
troops enjoyed him in the Pacific. That was his
greatest thrill."
Kyser himself refuses to comment. Friends
say it is because he doesn't have the time for in
terviews, not because he dislikes the media. Earl
Wynn, long-time friend and former Carolina
RTVMP professor, said: "He's not sore at
anybody. He's not that kind of person."
"He's one of the most unselfish persons
you'll ever meet," agreed William C. Friday,

UNC president and Kyser's neighbor. "But
you'd never know it unless you know him." In
all the years he was in show busines, Kyser never
tost touch with Chapel Hill, Friday said. He en
dowed' the Kay Kyser Scholarships and wrote
the pep song, "Tar Heels On Hand."
- Nowadays, Kyser stays busy with the Chris
tian Science Church, but still has time for old
friends.
"We visit together quite often," Friday said.
"We holler across the fence we're that kind
of neighbors."
"He's still got his old sense of humor,"
Wyrin said. "We'll have him over for dinner,
and if he chooses to do so, he can have
everybody rolling on the floor. He doesn't do it
often."
Forty years after hitting the heights of show
biz, starring in movies and touring the Pacific,
Kyser lives quietly as a music professor emeritus
' in a University town. Despite all the accolades
he has received in his career, one of his most
prized possessions is the A.B. he got from UNC
in June 1928. If you don't think Kay Kyser loves
Chapel Hill that's right, you're wrong.
