Plans arc already under way for the
16-month observance of the
University's bicentennial, William
Massey, bicentennial observance di
rector, said Monday.
The celebration will last from Oct.
12, 1993 to Feb. 12, 1995. The first
bicentennial date recognizes when the
cornerstone was laid for Old East and
the second represents the 200th anni
versary of the enrollment of Hinton
James, the first UNC student.
Earlier this year in Fayetteville, the
signing of the UNC charter was distin
guished as part of North Carolina's
200th anniversary of signing the U.S.
Constitution.
Massey elaborated on some of the
activities planned for the University's
bicentennial observance.

A resolution supporting a woman's
right to have a legal abortion was intro
duced by congress member Jeffrey Beall
(Dist. 7) and will be voted on by Stu
dent Congress today.
John Lomax, speaker pro tempore,
explained that the July Supreme Court
decision of Webster vs. Reproduction
Services did not overturn the earlier
Roe vs. Wade case legalizing abortion,
but it turned the decision back over to
the states. The N.C. General Assembly
will address this issue in the spring of
1990.
Republican members of the assem
bly probably will introduce bills to
curtail a woman's right to have an
abortion, Lomax said. This gives it
relevance to the students of North
Carolina, he said.

Beall claims the resolution as his
idea, and he said it was necessary for
the congress to take a stand on this issue
because it affected so many people.
Abortion is an individual right that
must be protected, Beall said. If women
were denied the right to have an abor
tion, the decision would snowball, and
other rights would be denied to the
people, he said.
The resolution has a good chance of
passing, Beall said, but he added that he
was unsure of the reaction it would
elicit from the student body.
"It's hard to predict how people will
react to it," he said. "I hope it's positive
because this is to help people espe
cially women. And the majority of this
campus is women."
Jurgen Buchenau (Dist. 3), said the

"Female students are mostly single,

Discussion of the abortion issue is
dominated by older Supreme Court
members and politicians. "Student
Congress is a body made up of young
people of childbearing age," Buchenau
said. "This makes it especially perti

state, let the general assembly know
that we don't want them tinkering with
them (the current N.C. abortion laws)."

N.C. State University Chancellor
Bruce Poulton accused the UNC Board
of Governors (BOG) of unnecessary
interference in N.C. State University's
(NCSU) athletic program in letters he
sent to UNC-system President CD.
Spangler.
In the letters, which were sent anony
mously to The News and Observer and
published, Poulton listed several ways
in which he felt BOG Chairman Robert
"Roddy" Jones had improperly inter
fered with athletic affairs on campus.
Poulton said Jones had:
called NCSU basketball coach Jim
Valvano on Aug. 24, the day before
Spangler reported on the the Poole
Commission's report investigating the
basketball program, and said he should
not be concerned about actions that
background.
The purpose of these projects is to
focus on the UNC's contemporary status
and plan where the school is headed in
its third century, Massey said. The
events are designed not only for UNC
students and faculty and their families,
but also for the local community and
neighboring cities.
"We're going to take Chapel Hill on
the road," he said. '
position.
"Abortion is a divided enough issue
that for Student Congress to say that
UNC supports this isn't really fair,"
said Lisa Angel, Inter Varsity Christian
Fellowship member.
"It's not like state politics where you
know the candidates' positions. I didn't
vote for my representative because I
knew her position on abortion. The
abortion issue is something that's so
important that we would want to have a
voice in that."
InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is
committed not only to saving the baby,
but also to taking care of the mother and
meeting her needs, said Michael Law
rence, InterVarsity Campus staff
member and member of the UNC
Chaplin's Association.

"We've been in touch with the na

Poulton said the message had been left
on Valvano's answering machine;
offered to let Valvano review the
Poole Commission report before Span

called a meeting with Valvano and
athletic officials from East Carolina
University (ECU) to discuss the rein

ECU Sports Information Director
Charles Bloom, there have been dis

The observance will spread to other
N.C. communities and also reach any
other cities where there are "major
pockets of alumni," Massey said.
Because UNC was the first state
university in the country to open its
doors, when the University celebrates
its bicentennial, it is also celebrating
the bicentennial of a method of public
education, he said.
Faculty members, students and
alumni have been the main source of
observance ideas, and the bicentennial
committee's primary goal is to choose
the best ones, Massey said. "We proba
bly have received in excess of 300
suggestions for bicentennial programs."
The bicentennial committee has also
enlisted the aid of departments for the
observance, Massey said. "Many de
partments and units of the university, in
academic and health affairs, will be

he was especially pleased the interim

Poulton, Jones and Valvano could
not be reached for comment on the
accusations. Libby Frederick, adminis

made no comment but said she was
certain he was aware of the letters dated
Aug. 30 and Sept. 6.
In the Sept. 6 letter, Poulton said he
learned of the message on Valvano's
machine from Student Body President
Brian Nixon. Nixon and Senate Presi
dent Brooks Raiford were meeting with
the coach when the call came.
"The chancellor is reasonably upset
and has reason to ask these questions,"
Nixon said. "As for what I said to the
chancellor, he took it a little to the
extreme.
"My No. 1 duty is to report student
concerns to the chancellor, and this is

another department, sponsor a bicen

thing that is special or unique to that

According to Robert Sweeney, asso
ciate vice chancellor for development,
the actual fund-raising campaign for
the bicentennial observance has not
begun, but general fund contributions,
some in the six- and seven-figure range,
have been steady.
"We'll have the largest single year
for philanthropy in the history of the
University," Sweeney said, noting that
methods for gathering funds included
personal and phone solicitation.
A $240,000 budget, set up by former
Chancellor Christopher Fordham, has
been allotted for the salaries and office

Brian Nixon, student body president at
NCSU.
"A lot of people really like Monteith.
Students like him. We're happy."
Nixon said he and several other stu
dent leaders had interviewed potential
interim chancellors and had sent a list
of preferences to Spangler. Nixon added
he and Spangler had spoken on the
phone about the interim chancellor.
Monteith's name was one of the top
three candidates on the student list,
