The $100 mandatory meal plan for
resident students may be eliminated
in two years because the UNC Food
Services Advisory committee recom
mended the consolidation of the
University's two food services last
week.
The recommendation is one of
several suggestions concerning food
services that the committee decided
on Friday and will forward to
Chancellor Paul Hardin, who must
approve the recommendations before
sending them to the UNC Board of
Trustees.
The recommendation comes in the
wake of a student government motion
to eliminate the meal plan, which the

Carlos Fuentes, noted Intellectual and author, speaks in Memorial Hall Wednesday night
Mexican author discusses

The Spanish-American writer
lives under the pressure of writing
everything history has forgotten, a
leading Mexican intellectual and
writer said Wednesday.
Carlos Fuentes spoke io a full
Memorial Hall about the duties
and conflicts facing today's Latin
American writers in a speech
sponsored by the Carolina Union's
Human Relations Committee and
the Institute of Latin American
Studies.
Fuentes described his own child
hood growing up in Washington,
D.C. My father made me know
all of Mexico the good and the
beauty and the victories, but also
the bad and the defeats. Mexico
became a vital part of my imag
ination. My writing was inspired
by the search for Mexico and being
separated from it. I was always the
committee turned down March 23.
The original motion called for
elimination of the plan contingent on
the consolidation of food services and
athletic concessions run by Marriott
and Ogden, respectively.
The merger would create a broader
revenue base for a company running
the two services, according to the
motion.
The University would select a food
service company to head the oper
ation through a bidding process to
be held two years from now, when
the contracts of Marriott and Ogden
expire, according to the
recommendation.
The proposal differs from the
student government motion because
it calls for a trial period of one year
room) prototas-'coirovDclted
charge when the protest occurred.
Bryan Brenner, the main witness
for the prosecution, said he asked the
eight to leave in the presence of a
Chapel Hill Police officer, but they
refused.
When the demonstrators refused to
leave after Brenner's first request and
then after requests from two different
policemen, they were arrested on
charges of second-degree trespassing.
Elaine Marie Foster, Teresa Marie
Jones, John Owen Franklin Long,
Lynwood Bryant Ray and Mark
Stephen Yavarone chose to defend
themselves. Attorney Norman Ecker
defended Mary Martin Godowitch,

wanderer."
Fuentes decided he must write
in Spanish because it was the
language of his ancestors. "I knew
I must write in Spanish, the
language of my fathers, not in
English, the language of my
teachers."
He added there was a need for
Spanish writers to articulate the
Spanish-American tradition.
"Whenever English falls asleep and
needs a new writer, an Irishman
comes along to wake it up. But
Spanish has been asleep with no
one to wake it."
Fuentes began writing in the
1950s, and he said he liked to write
about men and women interacting
in a historical context, but with an
emphasis on language. In the works
he read at the speech, he used many
plays on words and double
entendres. New World literature demands

or more to precede any elimination
of the meal plan. The period will be
used to monitor the amount of money
brought in by the consolidation and
will determine if funds from the meal
plan are still needed.
"If (the merger) proves that the
meal plan is not necessary to keep
food services financially afloat, the
meal plan will be eliminated," Stu
dent Body President Brien Lewis said.
But James Cansler, chairman of
the committee, said, "It must be
demonstrated that food services is a
healthy, prospering program on
campus before the plan can be
eliminated."
Lewis added that the meal plan
could not be eliminated for at least
two years. The plan is part of
John Michael Hickey and Ronald
Alan Lewis.
All of the defendants pleaded
innocent on the grounds that they felt
they were trying to prevent the
murder of human lives and concen
trated their defense on the issue of
abortion instead of the trespassing
charge. They said in a statement they
did not support abortion and were
not concerned with the sentences.
"It is our hope that someday soon
the courts of this country will protect
all human beings from conception
until natural death," the statement
said. "But, until that time, we will
continue to struggle for the basic right
nomination, voice and justice,
Fuentes said.
He referred to a great need to
name and clarify things, experien
ces and the unique position of the
Spanish-American. "Latin Amer
ica is a misnomer in itself. The
French made it up to include
themselves. It should be called
I bero-1 nd o-Afro-America. "
The Spanish-speaking Americas
need a voice of their own, Fuentes
said. "Who should speak, and in
what language, is a pertinent
question. The Indian languages are
dead and English is foreign. Span
ish is the politically superior but
culturally suspect.
"There is so much silence coming
out of Ibero-America the silence
of the beaten Indian empires and
the silence of the imported black
slaves. The Indian languages were

Marriott's contract.
The revenue base of the consoli
dation will persuade at least a dozen
food service companies to bid for the
contract, said Tom Shetley, director
of auxiliary services. Because of the
competition, the bidders will be
forced to submit "proposals that are
enticing to the University." ,
William Dux, director of Carolina
Dining Services, said Marriott would
bid for the contract, but he said he
was not sure the consolidation would
offset the losses of an eliminated meal
plan.
"We're talking about a business
move, and nobody knows what
impact that move will have until it

of every person to be allowed to live."
Toward the middle of the trial
Judge Lowery Betts said that he
recognized the controversy over
abortion, but that the purpose of the
trial was to determine whether the
defendants were guilty of trespassing.
"I realize the issue of abortion is
a very troublesome one for many
people. Nevertheless, we have rules
concerning abortion, whether they be
right or wrong."
The maximum penalty for second
degree trespassing is 30 days in jail
and a $500 fine. The defendants were

It's midnight. A UNC student has
just finished studying at Davis
Library. She walks home alone. She
is raped.
Unfortunately, this scenario
happens too often at UNC. Tonight
the Campus Y and the Women's
Forum invites anyone concerned
about rape at UNC to join a "Take
Back the Night" march around
campus and a rally in the Pit
afterward.
The march will attempt to publicize
rape and sexual assault at UNC,
especially following two recent
attacks an assault near Joyner
Residence Hall and a rape near Finley
Golf Course during Burnout on
March 31 said Gretchen Knight,
co-chairwoman of the Women's
Forum. The march is scheduled to
begin at 7:30 p.m. between Davie Hall
and the Arboretum.
"Everyone who disagrees with the
concept of rape should be there. We
want to change the tone toward rape
on campus.

UNC, N.C. State University and
Duke University are al! conducting
experiments similar to the nuclear
fusion projects that have created a
stir in the scientific community during
the past two weeks.
The fusion experiments involve a
process that some scientists believe
could virtually solve the world's
energy problems by using seawater
as an inexhaustable energy source.
Stanley Pons of the University of
Utah and Milton Fleischmann of the
University of Southampton, Eng
land, announced last month they had
used a simple tabletop apparatus to
achieve fusion at room temperature.
Previous fusion experiments had
focused on using temperatures of
millions of degrees, and the
researchers' announcement was met
with immediate skepticism from the
scientific community. This skepticism
has grown over the past several days,
as other research teams were unable

"Now all women live within the
context of rape. The new attitude
should be, 'If you do this you are an
outcast on our campus,' " Knight
said.
The march route is designed to
include sites of past and potential
attacks. Marchers will start in the
Arboretum, an area noted for attacks,
then go on to Morehead Planetarium,
near where UNC student Sharon
Stewart was attacked in 1985, Knight
said.
"We are going through the Pla
netarium parking lot to recognize that
one of our own, Sharon Stewart, was
kidnapped, raped and murdered
a girl who was doing all the right
things. She was walking to her car
in a well-lit area with a friend, and
it wasn't too late, only about 1 1 p.m.
"The point is that it can happen
to anyone."
The march will continue down
Franklin Street, Columbia Street,
Cameron Avenue, into the Big
Woods and down a path leading to
South Campus. "We want to draw
attention to the particularly unsafe
to reproduce the experiment
successfully.
But researchers at the Georgia
Institute of Technology and at Texas
A&M University both announced
Monday strong evidence of fusion in
their own experiments. Fusion can
produce a great deal more energy
than is put into it.
Area schools are attempting expe
riments similar to the University of
Utah's this week.
The same type of experiment is in
the works at UNC, said Eugen
Merzbacher, UNC Kenan professor
of physics and astronomy.
Merzbacher wouldn't say the
results of the other experiments
definitely showed fusion. "There
could be some internal processes
going on. At this point, results are
not consistent."
NCSU researchers began a similar
experiment Wednesday, said John
Gilligan, an NCSU associate profes-

area of South Campus," Knight said.
At last year's march, almost 120
participants chanted all along the

we go, yes means yes, no means no."

Marching is not the only way to

also deters potential attackers from,
