Johnson cited the large number of racial incidents that have taken place in this decade as evidence that racism is not a thing of the past. "There have been over 2,900 racially motivated crimes in this country since 1980," Johnson said. "And not all of them have been done by people in white sheets." The workshop will begin tonight with an open forum, "The Black Experience: A Lifetime of Contem student Some students have already pur chased memberships. "It's quiet and not crowded," said Chris Riley, a junior from Winston Salem. "We can get away from the rush of the bar scene. There's not a lot of drunk people here." Greg Jarvis agrees. "It's a good place to kind of wind down the evening," said Jarvis, a recent UNC graduate also from Winston-Salem.

The workshop will continue Friday with registration and the opening session in the Union Auditorium from 8 to 10:30 a.m. A series of seminars will take place following the opening session.

The club got its name from its previous owners. They bought draperies, wall ornaments and other souvenirs from Morocco and used them to decorate the club. Smoak compares his club to the television bar Cheers because of the club's clientele. "The people that have been coming here basically know each other," he said. "It's also a good place for women to come and not be hit oh. It's not a meat market." The membership roll totals 275 people, but Smoak says only about half of those members are regulars. Some club-goers to Cat's Cradle come back to the Morocco club between bands to get a drink. A lot of the bands that play the Cradle also use the Morocco Club. Smoak allows the band members to dress and shower in one of the upstairs rooms. In exchange, Morocco members get $ 1 off the cover charge for shows at the Cradle. "The Morocco is the type of place where you can come and relax," said Billy Johnson, longtime resident shuffleboard champion and manager of Cat's Cradle.

Even though the Kappa Sigma house is no longer on the list of condemned houses, it will undergo another $5,000 worth of renovations this semester, Hinkle said.

North Carolina is one of seven states in contention for the project. "The super collider is a good example of a state-run screw-up," he said. Despite the fact that the state has long worked to attract the program, which could cost the state up to $500 million, citizens' and environmental groups were not informed of the postive effect on the fraternity, Hinkle said. "The repair work really has made our house a little more livable and enjoyable," Hinkle said.
