Pit for their favorite contestant and

with the most money gets to kiss
Ramses the real ram at 12:50
p.m. Friday, he said.
"It's winner take all," Sneden said.
"In a way it's five winners and one
loser, but losing isnt that bad. It's

to needy all over the world.
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."

opportunity to influence the div
ision's work. 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

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.
"We have as fine a professional
staff in the division as you'd find at

any comparable university in the
country," he said. "That's the major
strength of any place the people."
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."
