Group strives for international awareness By CHERYL ALLEN Staff Writer Among the myriad of today's active protest and progres sive groups, a new one on campus says it is different from the rest. International Action, a group of students from all over the world, aims to educate its members and the University community about inter national issues. "Our main goal is education," said co-president Mary Lisa Pories, a senior political science major from Greenville. Co-president Jurgen Buchenau, a third-year history graduate student from Germany, said International Action would first educate its members through debates.

"Previously, IVe had the paintings on display at the Village Bank, but I thought that the street fair would be a great way to entice people to buy them." Jeannie Richards, who had a booth of unusual berets and sailor caps, also said this was the first year she has sold her products at Festifall. "I had a bunch of them sitting in my closet and I thought that this would be a good place to advertise them," Richards said. Campus Group Focus istan area. Secondly, it would bring in speak ers who will inform faculty and stu dents about international problems. Other courses of action will include mailings and contact with govern ment officials. Comprised of seven committees, nearly every area of the world has a representative in International Action. Committees include the Americas, Africa, Europe, the Mid dle East, India and the Far East, as well as committees for human rights and poverty.

Everything that is sold at Festifall must be handmade by the person who sells it, according to a rule made by the Parks and Recreation Department. ' "I think the rule is a little too members also focus on domestic issues. The group is unusual because its members are very diverse and many of them are originally from foreign nations. When something happens in another country, the group often has a member who has lived in that area, which really brings the issues home, Pories said. "A lot of our members are for eign, which brings about a more personal atmosphere," said Brock Dickinson, a senior history and Eng lish major from Canada. Buchenau said the group tried to bring out opposing viewpoints dur ing debates, often playing devil's advocate if a view is not expressed. "I think we need to get more peo ple in International Action to represent, a broader spectrum," said Chandrasekhar Ramanathan, a first year biomedical engineering gradu ate student from India. "We need opposing-ideas to make you keep thinking and show that you are not always right." Members of International Action are adamant about being different from other progressive groups. Dickinson said he thought many local activist groups put their main emphasis on protest while ignoring Troll's Bar: By CRAIG ALLEN Staff Writer I roll's Bar, a longstanding Chapel Hill tradition of 13 JJL years, just isn't quite the same. The familiar sticky floors and old benches are no longer a part of the Troll's experience. New carpet, new benches and a new bar all add to the renovated Troll's look, along with a wide-screen television. But along with the renovations came some worry from die-hard cus tomers that the bar will never again be the same old Troll's. Henry Pharr, a 1988 UNC gradu ate, said Troll's had definitely changed. "I liked it a lot more Honor Court General, denied allegations that she had been pressured into filing that complaint.

Margaret Taylor, president of The Chapel Hill Alliance of Neighbor hoods, said her organization has participated in Festifall since 1983. The organization began as a response to the rampant growth of Chapel Hill. Steve and Paula Hoge, along with their child Duncan, said they came to Festifall primarily for the food and to see other kids. "It's like a baby boom out here," Hoge said. the educational aspect. Without edu cation, he said, a group can never make headway. Caroline Pham, a junior interna tional studies major from Vietnam, said a lot of action groups are very radical and get away from their main causes. "International Action is less biased and more open minded," she said. "We try to learn before we speak." Ramanathan said that Interna tional Action was not trying to preach something to others. "We are promoting awareness of issues, not telling people to take' a certain side," Dickinson added. Martin Medina, a second-year ecology graduate student from Mex ico, said International Action is open to new people and new ideas because its prime goal is for members learn from each other. Group members said Interna tional Action also has a sense of fun. While debating global issues, these students have become friends and are open to new friends, Buchenau said. They encourage students inter ested in international problems to join, even if they have never been involved in a political group. International Action meets at 6 pjn. Tuesdays in 210 Union. An old tradition before the renovations," he said. "Troll's was always unpretentious compared to (other bars)." Pharr went on to say that, although the changes make Troll's look nicer, he was "nostalgic for the old place." Pharr is not the only Troll's cus tomer who seems to like the old, unrenovated Troll's better. "I'm not opposed to the renova tions, but I like the old Troll's for nostalgic reasons," said Wil Massen gill, a senior business administration major from Four Oaks. "Troll's is the first bar I ever went to in Chapel Hill my old faithful, you might say, is Troll's. "Troll's was always the kind of students expelled after due process," he said. John Pope, a Board of Trustees member, at the BOT's February meeting said, "The students should be expelled from the University for their violent acts." Pope made the statement in reference to an earlier incident in which the action commit tee members forced a CIA recruiter to cancel his interviews by confront ing him at the University Inn. Pope refused to comment on the outcome of the trial. .rgf Treatment of Animals V v IS Life on Earth.

Carol Tubelis, a resident of Dur ham, said she attended Festifall because of the crafts, people and the chili. "Last year it was much colder at Festifall," Tubelis said. "This year, it's a little too warm for chili." Chuck and Debbie Collicutt from Chapel Hill, said they have attended Festifall every year since it began.

I think they did lose some of their faithful crowd through the renovations." Gary Hughes, co-owner of Troll's, said that in past years the bar had begun to attract a more boisterous crowd. The owners made changes in an attempt to return to the college crowd. "We just opened the door and threw it (the old fixtures) out," Hughes said. "This is the first time in 13 years that anything like this has been done. It was time for a change." Hughes also said that although the bar has changed its look, it is Eubanks said such accusations were unfounded. "I think there are some false perceptions out there," he said. "Once you get the trustees answering these questions (regarding student activism), there's no need for an honor system. That's what it's there for." The guilty verdict is the result of the many protests that have occurred at UNC, rather than the events of April 15, the protesters said. "We're being tried on our whole record, not just this one incident," Sullivan said Thursday. The protest was not yiolent or disruptive, the protesters said. "That was the most peaceful protest IVe ever been to," Jones said. "We definitely did not intend to disrupt (the UCPPS office). If we wanted to take over and shut down that building, we could have."
