Supplement mmanual to asd resideinice hall leaders, officials say
manual regularly published by the
RHA that deals with residence hall
administration, Brian Sipe, governor
of Scott Residence College, said. The
regular manual usually serves upper
management.
"The new booklet will give a bigger
picture of RHA," he said. "It will get
information into the residence halls
to the people who need it the most."
The booklet will also contain
information about social and cultural
programming and community service
projects for residence hall govern
ment leaders. The booklet also offers
ideas on how to represent students
on issues affecting residence hall life,
he said.
- The booklet is intended for floor
senators, publicity and social repre
sentatives and residence hall presi
dents, Sipe said. As the booklet's
focus expands, it will target other
residence hall leaders, such as intra
mural managers.
The need for the booklets arose
because hall government leaders
often do not know what services they
can provide for their residence hall,
Sipe said.
Many residence hall government
leaders are sophomores and fresh
men, and their lack of experience
contributes to the need for the
booklet, he said.
The booklet's creation was not a "RHA is the most effective repre-
resuk of R.HA officials' dissatisfac- sentative group on campus,' he said,
tion with the job area government "But we can be better, and we're
leaders are doing, Sipe said. planning for the future."
The younger leaders learn their
duties in RHA government, Zellmer
said, but the booklet will make
leadership easier.
"It takes two years to see how
things work on campus," she said.
"The booklet will let them know what
they got into."
RHA officials have not yet
appointed a committee to write the
booklet, which will be paid for by
RHA and the individual residence
areas, Sipe said.
Sipe said he expects the booklet
to come out in two or three weeks.

The Residence Hail Association
(Ft HA) is planning to write and
distribute a new booklet that will give
residence hall government leaders
information on how to better serve
their areas, RHA officials said.
RHA had planned to send the
booklet to all area governments,
RHA Executive Assistant Paula
Zellmer said. But all area leaders have
not been able to contribute to the
booklet in its planning stages, so it
will only be distributed to Scott
Residence College leaders for now.

! Have you ever heard of someone
giving up an inheritance of a multi
million dollar business for the sake
of a four-legged creature that stands
aiound swishing its tail and chewing
gfass all day?
! Well, you have now.
IJohn Robbins, who dispossessed
himself of the Baskin-Robbins ice
cream fortune, will be speaking at
Hamilton Hall tonight on how our
personal eating habits affect life all
over the planet. One particular
emphasis will be our food choices,
especially with regard to meat and
dairy products.
Robbins' name is not only asso
ciated with ice cream but also with
his book, "Diet For a New America."
The book, which has been nominated
for the Pulitzer Prize, contains a lot
of criticism of the food industry and
American eating habits.
"The public has a right to know
information about how the food
giants work," Robbins explained,
"about what's being done to their
food and about the consequences to
their health."
Robbins' interests in this industry
and in animal treatment have been
a life-long endeavor. He's the pres
ident of the Earth-Save Foundation,
an internationally active organization
dedicated to protecting the environ
ment. "All environmental issues are
profoundly affected by food," Rob
bins said. "The problems with acid
rain, the greenhouse effect they're
all tied in."
The reason Robbins gave up the
Baskin-Robbins JFortune is also the
biggest reason he docs not eat meat
of any kind of dairy products: he feels
the treatment of animals in the
milking and slaughter processes is
inhumane. He considers the worst
animal farm problem to be the veal
calf situation.
"They are put into crates imme
diately after birth. They never walk,
suckle or see the outside. They are
locked in the dark, and many go
blind. They cant even turn around
to lick themselves, and they can't
sleep in a natural position," Robbins
said. "They are living sardines. It is
the most ugly, obscene, appalling
situation."
bobbins said he believes animals
"have a right to our respect as a part
of creation." His book reminds
people that animals can suffer and
feel pain. "It's a crime against nature
and ourselves to lose this respect for
them," he declared.
Robbins said he feels that dissolv
ing the meat industry would be a
tremendous boon to the economy.
"Recording to the FDA, the meat
industry provides fewer jobs for the
resources than any other industry,"
he explained. He also cites high
turnover, high injury rates, low pay
and low morale as some of the
problems the industry experiences.
' Robbins stressed that he does not
have to use vitamin and mineral
supplements in place of meat and
dairy products. "There are plenty of
them in a plant-based diet. There is
no nutritional component in meat
that is not found amply elsewhere,"
he said. "It is far healthier this way."
Though he is on what most people
consider to be a strict vegetarian diet,
Robbins is quick to tell people that
such a diet is not for everyone. "I
want people to lead healthier lives,
but they don't need to be vegetarians
to do that," he said. "I dont expect
people to take it as far as I do. People
should change their eating habits on
a pace they're ready for."
' When asked what kind of impact
Robbins believes his. book and
lectures have, he replied, "I get letters
every week from readers saying
they've made a change in their lives."
In his view, this is just more of a
reason to continue lecturing about
how people can best harmonize with
nature through their food choices.
The UNC-CH Chapter of Students
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
and the Triangle Vegetarian Society
are sponsoring Robbins lecture. It
begins at 7:30 p.m. in 100 Hamilton
