UNC's Air Force program will not
be phased out by spring 1989, Air
Force officials announced Monday.
The Department of Defense
announced Jan. 27 that 37 Air Force
ROTC programs, including UNC's,
would be closed or consolidated to
reduce the number of officers and
create a more efficient program.

Police intervene, end

A theatrical protest by CIA
Action Committee members in
Lenoir Hall led to a confrontation
with UNC police Wednesday.
As part of the group's week-long
CIA protest "Harvest of Sorrow,"
the dramatic presentation was
intended to increase campus
awareness of the CIA's worldwide
political activity.
Stationed at the north entrances
of the cafeteria, group members
Kasey Jones, Joey Templeton,
Graham Entwistle and Timothy
Karcher portrayed ex-CIA
members and victims of alleged
CIA activity.
Bill Dux, director of Marriott
food services, said several students
eating in the cafeteria had com
plained about the committee's
"political improvisational
theater." Cafeteria officials asked
the demonstrators to stop banging
on the cafeteria's doors, windows
and walls before requesting police
assistance, he said.
"The protesters said, 4If you
want us to stop, then call the
police,' and that's what we did,"
Dux said.
But group member Dale
McKinley said the cafeteria offi
cials did not talk to the protesters
before calling the police.
"It would be kind of insane for
us to say, 'Go get the police if you
want us to stop,' " McKinley said.
"I think they're just looking for
a way out of this."
As group member Jerry Jones
announced the conclusion of the
demonstration, he was seized by
a police officer. "He grabbed me
and told me to stop speaking,"

McKinley then stepped for
ward, defending the group's right
to demonstrate. Lt. Marcus Perry
grabbed the nape of McKinley's
neck and forced him into the
lobby. As Perry shoved him,
McKinley said, "This is our dining
hall. Don't push me out of my
dining hall. This is police
brutality."
Students gathered in the lobby
as McKinley and Perry discussed
the situation. Although McKin
ley's supporters called for "free
speech," other observers chanted
in support of the CIA. Perry and
McKinley talked for about 10
minutes before McKinley led the
committee members to the Pit,
where they completed their
protest.
Perry said officers were asking
only that the students leave the
cafeteria. "We're acting as peace
keepers. The Pit is the place for
public demonstration," he said.
Perry added that group members
would have been arrested if they
had refused to leave the cafeteria.
McKinley said political protests
should not be confined to the Pit.
"Everybody always says the Pit is
the place for anything of a political
nature."
Charging the police with "an
arbitrary violation of free speech,"
McKinley said the group's expul
sion from the cafeteria set a
precedent for the violation of
students' rights.
McKinley and Jones will file
official complaints against Univer
sity police, according to Entwistle.

not all of them were aware of the
criteria that was used for evaluation.
"The criteria that was used for the
closure plan had not been previously
disclosed," Dalby said. "Some of
these programs may have been great,
but they were not meeting the
criteria."
The criteria used to judge the Air
Force ROTC programs were:

Congress cuts
By JENNY CLONINGER
Assistant University Editor
The Student Congress Finance
Committee called a rare emergency
meeting Wednesday because it
recommended allocations exceeding
the Student Congress budget by more
than $20,000, said Bobby Ferris,
committee chairman.
The committee, after reviewing 37
organizations' budgets and suggest
ing funding cuts, made additional
cuts in preparation for the budget
bill's presentation to the full congress
Sunday. The Student Constitution
requires the committee to present a
balanced budget to the congress.

Commy unity marches foir women's safety
By BRENDA CAMPBELL
Staff Writer
About 150 students and commun
ity residents gathered Wednesday
night to march in support of victims
of rape and sexual assault during the
Campus Y Women's Forum's Take
Back the Night rally.
The march was intended to raise
community awareness of rape and
sexual assault, said Women's Forum
co-chairwoman Jaye Sitton.
"We want to provide support for
every woman who is victimized
because we can't walk through places
like the arboretum," she said. "No
place is a women safe. People need
to know we are aware there is a
problem and we are concerned."
Take Back the Night originated
during the women's movement of the
1960s, Sitton said. The name is meant
to affirm that all people have the right
to walk during the night and day as
they see fit, she said.
Marchers gathered in Coker
Arboretum and listened to speakers.
Local folk musician Tracy Drach also
performed. Participants then
marched along Franklin Street and
down Columbia Street, ending up in
the Pit.
In the song "From the Distance,"
Drach sang, "From a distance there
is harmony and it echoes through the
lands hope of hopes, love of loves,
song of every man."
Mary Ann Chap, director of the
Orange County Rape Crisis Center,
said the center provides support to
victims of rape and sexual assult.

New chaocelloir may help town relations
By LAURA DiGIANO
Assistant City Editor
Although the relationship between
the University and the town of Chapel
Hill has been strained in recent years,
local officials are optimistic that
town-gown relations will improve
under incoming Chancellor Paul
Hardin.
Chapel Hill Mayor Jonathan
Howes said he is encouraged by
Hardin's interest in local government,
i "The fact that he made a run for
the mayor's office in Durham while
he was on staff at Duke Law School
shows he has more than just a passing
interest in local government," Howes
said.
Although a new chancellor will not
have a great impact on the town
gown relationship, some changes can
be expected, he said.
"Whenever there is a change in
personnel, new opportunities open
up," he said. "This will obviously alter
to your ears, keep your mouth shut. - P.L. Stewart

UNC's program was to be phased

chaoses
budget recommendations in emergency meeting
recommended. The committee dealt
with each proposed budget cut as
Ferris drew it from a pile, preventing
groups from being cut unfairly, Ferris
said.
The committee had more than
$185,000 to allocate, but groups
requested more than $350,000, he
said. After budget hearings, the
committee had allocated approxi
mately $204,777.
The committee budgeted the excess
intentionally, so that groups whose
hearings were near the end of the
process wouldn't be cut unfairly
because of a lack of funds, Ferris said.
"When dealing with such high
numbers, we couldn't very well cut
40 percent of everybody's budget," he

"Though it's great that each of us

Howes said he thinks the existing
town-gown relationship is on solid,
positive ground, but problems do
exist.
"Obviously we are concerned
about Burnout and the Land Use
Plan, but we have found ways of
working these problems out," he said.
The changing of the guard at UNC
is definitely a positive step for the
town of Chapel Hill, Howes said.

Col. J. Harry Stow, Air Force
ROTC chairman, said Wednesday
that he was happy the Air Force
decided to continue the program
because of the students who would
have been affected.
"This is a great opportunity for
students from the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill to earn a
commission from the Air Force and
said. "We went through everbody's
budget fairly, keeping the limit in
mind but not following it."
The problem became obvious to
the committee Sunday night, with
$27,000 left to allocate and nine more
groups with funding requests, Ferris
said. Distributing the remaining
money evenly between the remaining
organizations would have been
unfair, because the committee had
not based the recommendations for
the earlier groups on the remaining
funds.
"We decided to continue cutting,
using the same system as before, then
go back and balance things," Ferris
said. "Since these are only recommen
dations, we're allowed to play with

who feel pain and embarrassment; the
children who aren't strong enough to
fight unwanted touches," she said.
UNC student Luchina Fisher
recited the poem "Rape" by Marge
Piercy.
"There is no difference between
rape and being pushed down a flight
relationship needs to be improved.
This period of transition provides an
opportunity for positive change, she
said.
"The search for a new chancellor
has created the atmosphere and the
opportunity to forge new relation
ships," Preston said. "The transition
acts as a catalyst to make the town
University ties stronger."
Town and University officials
should hold more formal, regular
meetings to foster greater coopera
tion between the two entities, Preston
said.
"We need to make sure any ideas
that are generated come from the
top," she said. "The decisions need
to be coming from the mayor, the
council, the chancellor and his staff
in order to generate solutions more
quickly.
"This transition is a new chance for
us to get the things we want
accomplished."

glad they will still have that
opportunity."
Stow said a few students left the

but none of them had scholarships.

This year's shortage of funds,
according to Ferris, is due to a cut
in congressional funds and an
increase in the number of groups
requesting funding.
Summer programming took
$20,000 from summer student activ
ities fees that once went into the
budget funds, Ferris said. Also, 11
more organizations requested funds,
he said.
"Everybody asked for more
money," he said. "Some groups had
exorbitant requests, but the answer
given to all the groups was that this

James Wallace, town council
member and former mayor, said
before any improvements in the town
gown relationship can be made, both
sides will need to get to know each
other.
"It will take about six months to
a year for us all to understand each
other on a personal level," he said.
"But it will be to our advantage not
to involve resistance for lack of
acquaintance."
Wallace said he does not see the
need for additional meetings between
town and University officials.
"WeVe got too many meetings as
it stands now," he said. "I'm sure our
paths will cross without scheduling
any more of them."
