supporters rallied Friday at South
Building to call attention to the child
care needs of the University
community.
About 35 parents, children, stu

with signs from the Pit to South
Building. The marchers entered
South Building and presented flowers
and balloons to Garland Hershey,
vice chancellor for health affairs.
A Student Congress resolution
supporting the expansion of Victory

the children of UNC faculty, staff and
students, was read at the rally.
Rape onwe

University police cannot continue
to investigate a rape reported near
Finley Golf Course March 31 until
the alleged victim presses charges,
officials said Sunday.
"If we don't have a complaint, we
don't have a case," said Sgt. Ned
Comar of the University police. "Any
information we have is only a step
above hearsay. We can't even legit
imately consider this case a statistic."
A female UNC student approached
a Chapel Hill Police officer working
Burnout March 31 and said a person
she didn't know had raped her on
Finley Golf Course around 7 p.m.,
according to the Chapel Hill Police
Department.
The woman was taken to North
Carolina Memorial Hospital where

Victory Village provides care for
64 children, 75 percent of whom are
students' children. The center is
housed in a World War II wood
frame building originally designed for
naval barracks. The building has been
used for child care since 1953.
Hershey expressed his support of
child care and Victory Village.
Representatives of the center also
spoke.
"The rally was a help in calling
attention to the fact that there is a
need for day care, and that the
University is taking steps to recognize
that," said Tyndall Harris, co
chairman of.the Victory Village board
of directors.
The rally was also planned to

blind report where her name is
withheld with the Chapel Hill
Police Department, and the investi
gation was turned over to University
police because the golf course is
University property.
The woman didn't file a complaint
with University police, and the only
official University police report,
released April 3, says the woman was
"kissed and pushed."
Police officials tried to convince the
woman to file a complaint and
assured her that her name would not
be made public, Comar said.

Minority Concerns Office of the
Senator points to UNC students
By JEFF LUTTRELL
Staff Writer
The difference between North
Carolina and other states is UNC and
its graduates, U.S. Sen. Terry San
ford told a group of about 60 students
Sunday.
Sanford, speaking to the UNC
Young Democrats and the Dialectic
and Philanthropic Societies in New
West, said UNC students have made
the difference in politics and
economics.
"Our students have provided the
leadership of this state."
Various national and state leaders
such as Frank Porter Graham,
Zebulon Vance and Thad Eure have
come from- UNC, he said.
Wayne Goodwin, president of
Young Democrats, said one of the
original goals of the University was

coincide with the National Week of
the Child, said Mary Bridgers,
director of Victory Village. "It was
good timing to call attention to the
families that need child care and the
fact that child care is a national issue."
In addition, the rally gave suppor
ters a chance to recognize the help
Hershey has given them by acknowl
edging their needs, Harris said.
Gene Davis, Student Congress
speaker, said he felt the rally was a
success. "It was not an adversarial
meeting. It was a positive interaction
between the supporters and the
administration."
The rally also educated students
and administrators about the prob
lems of child care, Davis said. "It

the victim from coming forward.
"Anybody who might have been
assaulted would certainly not be
encouraged to come forward when so
many inches of copy have been
devoted to the incident," Schroeder
said.
Mauer said reports of a lack of
communication between the Univer
sity police and the Chapel Hill Police
Department about the reported rape
have been exaggerated.
The only obstacle to the investi
gation has been the assault victim's
refusal to talk with either police
department, Mauer said.
"There are four law enforcement
departments in this county, and weVe
been told that we work together better
than any other county around."
Mauer also denied reports that the

the country.
Sanford stressed the importance of
UNC and youth involvement in
public affairs. "Young people are not
sure they want to participate. It's
always a refreshing reassurance to
come back to Chapel Hill, where
students actively participate."
Sanford said the country needed
young people to help combat new
problems, such as the homeless
situation.
"Back in 1960, I didn't know of
any housing problems or the home
less. In fact, the only homeless
problem I can think of was when the
Mayflower landed on North Amer
ica. They probably had a housing
problem then."
Young people need to battle the
dropout and illiteracy rates, Sanford
said. He suggested starting with first-
allowed the administration to become
aware of what was going on. It was
also an educational tool for students."
Bridgers said the University was
now responding to some of Victory
Village's needs, including mainte
nance and repairs. "Our short-term
goal was the fact that we need
maintenance now."
' The center has spent $25,000 over
the past five years on maintenance,
Bridgers said. "We can't continue to
do that and keep our fees reasonable."
The University has responded to
the center's first maintenance request
by agreeing to install a new floor in
the center, Bridgers said. The new

not thoroughly inform him about the
reported rape.
Schroeder said the incident proved
that alcohol magnifies the potential
problems that are created in a large
gathering of people.
"If through some miracle there was
no alcohol used on this campus,
assault would be greatly reduced, if
not almost completely eliminated,"
Comar said.
Despite this, Schroeder said the
University would not ban large
parties such as Burnout and
Springfest.
Because Burnout is held on private
property, it is not under University
jurisdiction. Even if it were, the
University would not restrict it
because this sort of ban on drinking
could get out of hand, Schroeder said.

The problem of unequal education
for minorities has faced the country
for almost 200 years, but the govern
ment and universities are only begin
ning to address the issue, and may
be forgetting past lessons, Reginald
Wilson said in a Sunday speech at
UNC.
The lecture by Wilson, director of
the Minority Concerns Office of the
American Council on Education, was
part of the three-day Student Advo
cacy Conference, which addressed the
issues of student aid and the recruit
ment and retention of minority
faculty and students.
Institutional segregation is a
serious problem within this country's
higher education system, although
many people view segregation as a
thing of the past, Wilson said.
"We are in fact emerging very
recently from a racially segregated
society. We're not talking about
something that is ancient history
we're talking about something that
is happening right now."
More than 50 percent of all jobs
in the next century will require a
college education, and as the percen
tage of blacks among the total
population increases, the failure to
integrate minorities fully into society
will cause the United States to lose
ground, he said.
"If we are to remain competitive
graders, and increasing aid to Head
Start, a successful program for
disadvantaged youth.
President George Bush agreed to
increase funding for education pro
grams by 2 percent this year, but the
increase still leaves out many
deprived children, Sanford said.
Neglecting these children sets them
up to be dropouts.
"We need to fund current pro
grams, not create new ones that have
been proposed. There are some really
good programs that just need more
support."
Sanford also commented on other
controversial issues in Washington,
such as the proposed minimum wage
increase. "I can lose thousands of
votes depending on whether or not
I vote for a 30- or 40-cent minimum
wage increase."
This increase gives everyone in the

as an international force, we are going
to have to face this problem. We have
had a history of being able to absorb
the 'throwaway population.' That will
not do in the 21st century."
Although blacks make up 14
percent of the U.S. population, only
9 percent of students and 4 percent
of faculty in the country's universities
are black, he said. Hispanics, who
make up 7 percent of the total
population, represent only 5 percent
of the students and 1.8 percent of the
faculty in institutions around the
country, he said.
Asian students represent only 3.6
percent of all students and 3.9 percent
of all faculty, and American Indians
make up 0.7 percent of the students
and 0.2 percent of the faculty around
the country, he said.
Because 25 percent of North Caro
lina's population is black, and
because the state has more histori
cally black colleges than any other,
North Carolina could be a role model
for the rest of the country, but has
failed in this capacity so far, Wilson
said. "We can do a good bit better
here than we have done in the past."
Fifty-five percent of black college
professors receive their degree from
black colleges, and 16.8 percent of
all black students attend these insti
tutions, Wilson said.
The achievement and success rates
as making
lower half of the economy a chance
to survive above the poverty level,
Sanford said. He said he would
probably vote for a 40-cent increase,
and if he can, a 50-cent increase.
The United States' relationship
with the Soviet Union, the plight of
savings and loan institutions, child
care and campaign expenditures are
all important issues he addressed.
"I think campaign expenditures
need to be limited. This is an impor
tant issue that the Republicans and
Democrats have already battled on."
He said Republicans don't want to
limit expenditures because they need
more money to battle the Democrats
in elections.
Sanford said the proposed Senate
pay raise wasn't as large as some
people thought. "Public officials

of minority students and faculty
nationwide peaked around 1975, but
the retention and graduation figures
have declined ever since, he said. "It's
almost as if weVe learned no lessons
from the past."
Efforts were not made to institu
tionalize the minority support pro
grams and recruitment techniques
that were begun 20 years ago, and
many of these programs have disap
peared, he said. The remaining
programs do not spread to other
institutions and are largely ineffective
because of financial instability.
"Each year many of these programs
did not know whether or not they'd
be refunded for the next year."
Wilson said many universities were
showing success in the recruitment of
minority faculty, including Miami
University, which has doubled its
black faculty in less than two years.
Thirteen percent of faculty members
at the University of Massachusetts at
Boston are minorities, and the Uni
versity of Michigan hired 18 black
tenure-track professors last fall, he
said.
"(Recruitment) depends on how
committed the institution is and how
hard they are willing to work to reach
that goal."
The University of California at
Berkeley used minority support
programs to change the black failure
