Committee awards Spriogfes funds, cuts By STEPHEN BRYAN Staff Writer . Several campus groups received funding recommendations from the Finance Committee of Student Con gress during its Wednesday night meeting. . The committee recommended that Henderson Residence College receive their requested $2,500 for Springfest, and it also advised the congress to cut funding for the Carolina Symposium, said Carol Hooks, student body treas urer. Springfest is an event held each year in front of Connor Residence Hall. Live bands play, and all students are invited. In previous years, thousands of stu dents have attended, said Bart Salvag gio, treasurer of HRC. " " "It (the appropriation) helps out a lot," Salvaggio said, citing the cost of Student Affairs Committee accepts RC resolution, sends it to congress By MYRON B. PITTS ' Staff Writer A resolution to consider alternate sites for the Student Recreation Center '(SRC) was sent favorably to Student Congress by the Student Affairs Com ,r.mittee, which voted on the issue : 'Wednesday. Representative Jeffrey Beall (Dist. 7), a member of the committee, was the author of the resolution, which was preferred to congress favorably on a voice vote with Chairman Matt Heyd abstaining. " :': The resolution called for the UNC " 'Buildings and Grounds Committee, ''which will vote on the SRC location in October, to consider sites other than the ''"courtyard of Fetzer Gymnasium. '' The statement emphasizes that the ,J original SRC proposal does not allow for bathroom and locker facilities and "will, as an addition to Fetzer, adhere to ''"the gym's hours. The resolution also ''"cites North Campus as already con gested with too many buildings. Representative Mindy Friedman (Dist. 12), who voted against the reso lution, said, "I think the main reason I ' yoted against it is the ample research I . did about it (the SRC)." i One ofBeall's arguments in support of his resolution was the idea that stu dents should control the SRC, which 4' Oeeds to be separat from Fetzer and '.'have its own restrooms and showers. "If you moved the site of the SRC, 'you would still have to pay the cost of landscaping," Friedman said. "It (the n villi Jl LJk U IruiL.

Last year Springfest went into debt because of a lack of attendance be cause of bad weather. HRC had to borrow money to pay the debt, but Salvaggio said the loan was paid off. Pete Upham, tri-chairman of the Carolina Symposium, said, "We are not ecstatic about the cut in funds; however, we feel we can still offer a quality program." The committee ad vised that funding for the student-sponsored lecture series be cut from $ 1 1 ,290 to $7,690. Although the symposium would require more fund-raising, Upham said he felt the committee made strong points as to why funding should be decreased. "They made prudent cuts," he said. The symposium plans to raise $15,000 for the spring event to help cover costs, SRC) will in fact be more expensive and a lot less cost-efficient." Through his resolution, Beall has indicated that the SRC site has not been properly researched, but Friedman dis putes this. She said a summer commit tee was formed to consider several sites for the SRC, including parts of South Campus and the area directly behind Fetzer. The committee included Brien Lewis, student body president; Gene Davis, Student Congress speaker; Rick Cody, president of the Graduate and Professional Students Association; and Lisa Frye, president of the Carolina Athletic Association. In a press conference Wednesday, Beall and John Silva, associate profes- sor of physical education, pointed out flaws in the proposed SRC location plan. They noted loss of grassy areas and reconstruction of the courtyard if the SRC were built there and also intro duced the possibility that student funds may be used for these purposes. Beall said he had no suggestions for alternate locations. "I have no sites in mind," he said. "I just want objectivity. I think the students deserve that." Frye noted that many people think money saved by not restructuring Fet zer courtyard can be used to supple ment the expense of adding bathrooms and showers to the building. But this is not the case, she said.

Lewis Streak successful ily rymi agaioii By AMY WAJDA Assistant University Editor Lewis residents Tuesday night con tinued the 29-year tradition of the Lewis Streak, against the wishes of Univer sity officials. About 40 streakers began the run Caucus gives BCC delegates new ideas By JUDY DORE Staff Writer ' The Black Congressional Caucus was a success, said Margo Crawford, director of the Black Cultural Center (BCC). On Saturday, 13 black UNC students returned from a four-day trip to the caucus in Washington, D.C. "They came back very enthused and excited about meeting with the over 100 students that attended," she said. Tt was a tremendous learning experi- ence. The caucus gave the students an opportunity to meet and interact with black political leaders in roundtable discussions, as well as attend formal and informal seminars. The purpose of the caucus was to motivate black stu dents to get involved not only in the local black community, but also na tional black concerns, Crawford said. Local groups would like to organize Upham added. The Finance Committee also dis covered that an additional $28,000 was available for student groups. The source of the funds was the first session of summer school, Hooks said. The summer school funds were included in the fiscal year 1 988-89, which ended May 15, she said. "Because the funds didn't come in until July, this year's budget didn't include them." The unexpected funds will be used as more requests come in from groups as the semester progresses, Hooks said. Many organizations missed the appli cation deadline because they weren't yet organized, and will ask for assis tance later, she said. In addition, some groups may underestimate their budg ets and request more funds throughout the year. 10 times more than rebuilding the courtyard," she said. Gordon Rutherford, director of Fa cilities Planning and Design, verified that a letter had been written to Frye in reply to questions she had about the costs of building the SRC. The letter placed minimum additional costs of constructing the SRC as an independent facility at between $300,000 and $350,000, Rutherford said. The price was based on a minimal amount of 3,000 to 3,500 square feet at $100 per square foot, he said. Beall said, "I have not seen that report, so I can't comment on it." Beall s resolution will be put before Student Congress on Sept. 28 Wear Pre-history.

"The students were able to meet and talk to prominent black leaders," Crawford said. "They' were able to get first-hand information about people they have read about." Malcolm X's daughter and Jesse Jackson and his son were among the caucus speakers. The participants were excited about the importance of politics in black life. They previously were unsure of the role of politics, she said. She added she would like to see more black students become involved in the system, either directly or indi rectly. It was a good weekend from all stand points, according to delegate Keith Belton, a senior from Nashville, Tenn. "On campus it is easy to feel as if you're alone struggling with problems. But going to D.C. and seeing students from 40 different schools made me see that we all have the same problems." The students discussed the different programs they were trying to initiate at their universities that would be avail able to black students, Belton said. "For example, the BCC is trying to put to gether a test file and develop a tutoring program." In addition, other universities, such as N.C. Agricultural and Technical State University and N.C. State University, are thinking of organizing black cul tural centers, Crawford said. Another delegate, Cheryl Grand, president of the Ebony Readers Onyx Theater, said she met many important people at the caucus, some of whom were in positions in which she might like to be some day. From information gathered at the caucus, the BCC will have a workshop to share information members learned with the rest of the UNC community. Plans are under way to invite a black Louisiana congressman and Howard University's student body president to speak. "UNC was very well represented at the caucus," Crawford said. n fill JUU in L.i nl n mi in IE n. f n Only at the Yogurt Pump is the Yogurt made to accentuate each natural flavor.

University police received no com plaints about the streak, and so could not make any arrests for indecent expo sure, he said. "This is one of those crimes where we've got to have a complainant." University officials renewed their opposition to the streak this year as part of an effort to stop date rape and sexual harassment on campus. In a letter ear lier this month to Wayne Kuncl, hous ing director, Dean of Students Frederic Schroeder said the streak was no longer acceptable in the UNC community. Schroeder also said in the letter that those involved in organizing and pro moting a streak could be charged with violations of the Code of Student Con duct, including hazing. The streak would present "much potential for personal injury as well as for the infliction of emotional distress," he said. Jeffrey Cannon, assistant dean of students, said Wednesday that any legal outcome of the streak would depend on Undergraduate Attorney Virginia Mewbourne.

Mewbourne said she could not comment on specific cases. But Lewis residents disagreed with the University's view. "Anyone who would do something like date rape wouldn't do it because of something like this," said Nick Gazaleh, a junior from Wallace who said he had not participated in the streak. A participant who asked not to be identified agreed. "It's kind of funny, because while it was happening no one had a malicious intention. It kind of upsets me that they make such a big deal out of it." Mike Andrews, a Lewis resident assistant, said little could be done by RAs to stop the streak. "We are RAs as opposed to police officers," he said. "We do take proactive measures. That is as far as we can go, and we did that." Comar said student opposition to the streak would be needed to stop it. "I don't think it's going to be as easy to control as long as there are spectators willing to encourage the thing." Martha Nell Hardy, professor of speech communication, has received the Jennie Award for best actress of the 1988-89 season from Theatre in the Square.
