; A list of black faculty and student
concerns that created some controv
ersy at Friday's Faculty Council
meeting was not originally meant for
public use, Association of Black
Faculty (ABF) recording secretary
iee Greene said Sunday.
; The document, which was pre
sented in the committee on black
faculty's annual report as "a state
ment (of the ABF) regarding the
needs of black faculty on our cam
pus," was originally sent only to
members of the association and
several UNC administrators, Greene
said.
; The list of black faculty and student
concerns that Greene said was issued
in the spring of 1 988 makes up one
page of the committee's three-and-a-half
page report.
One item on the list says changes
in the admissions policies of the
School of Public Health will have a
negative effect on black student
presence.

About 60 SE AC members pro
tested outside the Franklin Street

which is run by Marriott to
put pressure on the companies to stop
buying fish from Iceland. The protest
was part of a national campaign by
the environmental group Greenpeace,
which wants companies to stop
buying fish Iceland's largest source
of revenue in order to stop the
country from whaling.
But Burger King officials said
Friday that the United States had
confirmed Iceland is whaling for
scientific purposes only. U.S. officials

of the School of Public Health, said
this statement was irresponsible. "I'd
like to know which departments,
what recent changes, and how it
affects black presence in the School
of Public Health. I think some
documentation of a statement like
this should be available to discuss
with me and my collegues before
printing it and distributing it to the
entire faculty."
But Greene said Sunday the ABF
should not be responsible for the
statement. "The association does not
take responsibility for using informa
tion outside of context. How the list
is used is the responsibility of the
committee. The association didn't
distribute the list to the faculty
the committee did."
Campbell McMillan, committee
chairman, said Sunday, "I had no
doubt that this was a statement they
were prepared to release. Our inten
tion was for black faculty to be
heard."
But Greene said he had had no
official contact with the committee.

Dim boycott
Iceland's leaders in July 1988 that the
Icelandic government was within its
rights to carry on scientific research
with whaling, said Burger King
spokesman Tim Hermerling.
The United States also decided as
a result of the meetings that Icelandic
whaling was not diminishing the
efforts made by whaling conservation
programs, he said. ;-
"For these reasons, we do not feel
it is appropriate for us to take part
in the boycott," Hermerling said.
Marriott officials said they were
justified in purchasing fish from
Iceland because they were only doing
business with fish companies, not the
whaling industry.
"The people we're doing business
with are not doing anything wrong,"
said William Dux, director of Caro
lina Dining Services.
Marriott buys Icelandic fish
because the organization's main
concern is purchasing the best pro
duct for its customers, he said.

tee was informal and with one
member. Someone asked for a list of
current concerns of the association.
I explained that the association did
not have a printed list of present
colored concerns.
"I told them the major concern of
the association at present. We are
concerned with making sure that the
number of black undergraduates who
pursue graduate education increases,"
Greene said.
Committee and ABF member
Curtis Harper said he had contacted
Greene about a statement of concerns
and that Greene had referred him to
the list. "When I talked to Greene
about it (using the list), he thought
it was OK."
But Greene questioned the use of
a list from last spring. "It would not
make sense for the association to give
a list like that in April, 1989," he said.
"Some of the issues are over a year
old and have already been responded
to positively."
The committee published the list
without dating it or stating for whom
it had originally been meant.
"We're looking at this whole thing
from a business sense," Dux said. "It's
a political issue, and we're not
involved with that. We're not a
political organization."
Senior Tom Panel, Wednesday's
demonstration coordinator, said he
thought ecological concerns were
more important than business
concerns. '
"It's great that they put customer
satisfaction first, but in our view, (the
purchasing) is indirectly supporting
whaling."
A boycott of fish from Iceland
would help end Iceland's whaling
industry, which is small and depends
-financially on the fishing industry,
Pahel said. Elimination of Iceland's
whaling industry is SE AC's overall
goal.
"We need to place economic pres
sure on Iceland to make it a poor
economic choice to whale," said Don
Whittier, co-chairman of SEAC.

"Jim" appears to be an ordinary
UNC student juggling his class
schedule and a part-time job. The
only difference is he is homeless.
This is the second time Jim, who
asked that his real name not be used,
has lived at the Inter-Faith Council
(IFC) Emergency Shelter. He knows
of six other UNC students who have
lived there. 1
"You grow numb," he said. "When
you find yourself wasting a lot of
effort each time you try to wipe the
slate clean, it leaves you more empty
and numb."
Jim wants to get out and live on
his own, but he wants a move from
the shelter to be permanent.

slowly and work it out, find living
arrangements and. not find myself in

thing is that IVe worked for two

Despite cool and rainy weather,
the party went on for about 3,500
students who gathered at the Pi

afternoon for the 13th annual

A female was assaulted Friday
night behind a fraternity house on
Finley Golf Course Road, and Uni

police officials said Sunday.
The woman was not physically
injured in the assault, which was
reported to police at 7:35 p.m. Friday,
Sgt. Ned Comar of University police
because of a leaky roof.
The repairs made at the house were
part of a renovation project that
began last semester, said Keith Burns, ,
UNC Habitat For Humanity building
committee chairman. Group
members had already replaced the
roof and installed a woodstove.
The yearlong project will culmin

"I really have no other desire (than t
to graduate). I do not want to be a
$5-an-hour worker for the rest of my
life."
The shelter, located in the old
municipal building at the intersection
of Rosemary and Columbia streets,
will close for renovation in late April,
and although Jim said he had no
definite plans about where to live, he
has been trying to save money for
the few places he's considering.
Other residents of the shelter have
been thinking ahead and saving
money from their jobs, but unless
they have $500 in hand, they will not
be able to find an apartment in
Chapel Hill, he said. Most apart
ments ask for the first month's rent
and a security deposit in advance.
Without somewhere definite to
stay, the shelter's residents will
bounce around, finding a place for
a couple of weeks and then returning
to the street, Jim said.

your job, you can kiss it all goodbye."

The rain provided muddy enter

freshman from Fayetteville. "Then
everyone was mud wrestling until
two guys came and broke it up."

Comar said he was not sure if the
woman was a UNC student, or if the
incident was related to Burnout, the
party held Friday at , the Pi Kappa
Phi fraternity house.
Chapel Hill police would have
handled the case if the assault had
occured inside a fraternity house,
Comar said, but the incident report
edly occured behind a house,
although police do not know the
raise about $1,500 by the end of the
year, to complete the final phase of
the project.
Habitat For Humanity is a
national non-profit organization that
works to build and repair homes for
the needy.
"Habitat for Humanity works in
the philosophy that shelter is a matter
of conscience," said Heather Fuller,
Habitat For Humanity publicity co-
Chris Moran, a consultant at the
shelter, said the IFC Community
Kitchen, located on South Merritt
Mill Road, would serve as a tempor
ary men's shelter and downtown
churches would provide shelter for
women during the renovations. The
renovations will reduce the number
of available beds by one-third.
The planned renovations to the old
municipal building include leveling
the floors, installing an elevator and
a new heating system, and bringing
it up to building code standards,
Moran said.
The renovated shelter will also
contain the IFC Community Kitchen.
Billy Barnes, a volunteer at the
shelter, said the renovated shelter
would be among the largest and most
complete for a city of Chapel Hill's
size. ; " ..
The shelter had 28 1 guests last year,
57 percent more than in 1987, and
the average stay was less than three
weeks.
Barnes estimated that more than
half of the shelter's residents worked
at jobs that pay close to the minimum
wage and that they did not have $400
