Renowned tropical biologist Michael
Robinson will be the featured speaker
Saturday at "A Rain Forest Evening," a
program designed to heighten aware
ness of the importance of preserving
genetic and species diversity in natural
habitats.
"It's a small world," said Peter White,
director of the N.C. Botanical Garden.
"Conservation in the tropics is an im
portant issue. Birds which spend the
summer here spend the winter in South
America."
The program is sponsored by the
N.C. Botanical Garden and the Insti
tute of Conservation and Culture. In
addition to Robinson and White, Joy
Bannerman, director of the Institute of
Conservation and Culture based in
Carrboro, will speak.
Mary Brown, developmental man
ager at the N.C. Botanical Garden, said
Robinson was asked to speak because
of his intensive work in the field of
tropical biology.
"Dr. Robinson is one of the world's
foremost tropical biologists," Brown
said. "He spent 20 years as a tropical
biologist with the Smithsonian Insti
tute and as the president of the Institute
of Conservation and Culture. He is
currently the director of the Smith
sonian Institute's National Zoo."
Robinson will emphasize plant con
servation and the value of botanical
diversity to humans. White will speak
on the relationship between the conser
vation of the tropical forests and the
N.C. Botanical Garden.
"People often speak of plants and
animals as a generic species," White
said. "Here, we have a botanical herb
garden with plants which have the
capacity to be used medicinally. The
tropical rain forest has the potential to
help."
White said he hoped the program
would be fun as well as informative.
"The purpose of this program is to
increase awareness of the problems and
of the N.C. Botanical Garden and to
have fun and become inspired," Brown
said.
There is a minimum donation of $3
for Botanical Garden Foundation mem
bers and $5 for non-members. Proeeds
will go to the garden and the institute.
Ethics topic of spring'Carolina Symposium
By STEPHEN BRYAN
Staff Writer
The Carolina Symposium, a student
sponsored lecture series focusing on a
set topic, is gearing up for this spring's
biannual event which will bring distin
guished speakers to the Carolina cam
pus. The topic for 1990 is Ethics, and the
symposium is scheduled for March 26
to April 6. During this period, promi
nent speakers will visit UNC and lec
ture on a variety of subjects related to
ethics, said Thomas Williams, one of
three chairmen of the event.
An organizational meeting for all
interested students and groups will be
Thursday at 5 p.m. in Union 205.
"We need anyone willing to work,"
said Pete Upham, another chairman.
Upham said students can contribute in
many areas, including programming,
soliciting speakers, fund-raising and
publicity.
The Carolina Symposium began as
one of the Campus Y's committees and
later became independent. "As the
campus grew larger and diffused, we
became too independent," Williams
said. "It hurt us."
Williams is trying to change this by
inviting all campus organizations to
help sponsor an event. Because of the
broad topic, Williams said he felt that
many organizations would be able to
get involved. "We have chosen a topic
which has wide appeal, and there is
something for everyone."
Topics encompassed in Ethics in
clude bioethics, environmental ethics,
and ethics in business, giving many
campus organizations the chance to
sponsor an event, Williams said.
Both Williams and Upham said they
hoped campus organizations would
become involved in the lecture series,
in part to help offset expenses. The cost
of bringing in speakers alone can reach
as high as $20,000, Upham said.
The group must also raise more
money this year because of a decrease
in the amount of funds received from
Student Congress. Normally the group
requests $ 1 2,000-$ 1 5,000 in funds from
Congress, but because of a decline in
funds, Upham said, the group will have
to ask for less.
"Carolina Symposium is a resource
for the community to stimulate
thought," Upham said.
