People have participated in the fast since 1973. The Hunger Respon sibility Committee hopes to raise between $2,000 and $3,000 to beat last year's earnings of $1,800. "We're trying to make students more aware of world hunger," Wilson said. "Being hungry for a day is nothing compared to starving days at a time." Sneden said that Circle K was looking forward for a strong finish at the end of the week and that he was hoping to raise a lot of money for the March of Dimes. "We called and talked to the owner of Ramses, and he agreed to fix him up and paint the horns and put on the Carolina blanket and all of that, the works," he said. The organization chose kissing a ram because it was the school mascot, and the idea would go over more if it had something to do with campus enthusiasm and school spirit. Ramses was the logical choice, Sneden said. "We wanted something real," Sneden said. "Anybody can kiss a dummy, and we wanted something people will laugh at." Dey Hall.

Students serve on the advisory board of the Campus Y and Student Health Services, while much of the Student Union is run through student committees. Students also are involved in activities such as the new mediation board and rape and assault prevention program recently organized by the Dean of Students Office. "Advisory committees are the most effective means for students to involve themselves in this division," Cansler said. This interaction between students and Student Affairs staff has helped the division overcome one of its major weaknesses. "One of the issues that 1 believe is a problem is communication, both within the division, that is profes sional to professional, and also in students' understanding of the work of the division," Boulton said. "If you're not understood, then it's clear to me that the work you're doing is not effectively utilized by those who need it. It's a matter of getting more involved in each other's lives." But there are other problems. "One weakness is the lack of staff, and the inablility to provide direct, ongoing, supportive assistance that may be requested by extra-curricular organizations," Schroeder said, adding that the Dean of Students l'.HIIIM'M I Wl IllllllWillh IHIMIi HM I IP HIP III M I 1 II II 1 MM 1 III II WB mj ...

Ajik Office has direct contact with only 75 out of 200 student groups. To help solve this problem, Boul ton said the division has started a leadership development program to train student leaders. With this program the division will be able to do more than just help students set up a group; it will help them strengthen it through better leaders. Cansler said the lack of sufficient facilities was another problem facing the division. He cited examples of the lack of office space for staff members who work with learning disabled students, and the lack of interview rooms available for the Career Planning and Placement Center. Cansler said plans were underway to get additional office space for the division by adding six floors to the Student Stores building to house the division. He said the construction would begin in 1990 and should be completed by 1992. Although Student Affairs is plagued by some weaknesses, many of the division's departments are strong, Cansler said. UNC's Student Health Services and Housing Department are among the best in the nation, he said. Boulton added that the division's staff is an asset.

And the division will need strong' departments and competent staff members if it is going to keep up with the needs of students. '- "I see this division moving more in the direction of trying to anticipate the needs of the students," CanslejF said. "We often find ourselves gearing up to meet the needs of people who are now here. But by the time we are ready to do that, they've already gone and somebody else is here with some other needs. ; "However, as these new needs come in, we have the task of deciding . . . what programs or services to discontinue or diminish in emphasis in order to provide staff for these new needs." Boulton said the division would have new priorities in the next few years. "In the last 15 years, we've con centrated on getting ourselves in order in terms of the resources we need," he said. "The next five years are going to be devoted to really building a professional team. "We've done an excellent job as departments, what we're now trying to do is build a team to help each other deliver more services by moving across departmental lines and working closer together."
