Group aids African students
UNC's South African Scholar
ship Fund, a Campus Y group, or
ganized in the Pit Monday to ask
students, faculty and staff to put
spare change to good use.
The group began raising money
three years ago to fund the college
educations of four South Africans,
said co-chairwoman Natasha
McConnachie. The Institute of Race
Relations at Johannesburg will dis
pense the scholarship money, she
said. The scholarships will be ap
plied to South African universities,
like the University of Cape Town
and Wits University.
The group began with a goal of
$100,000 and has raised about
$50,000, McConnachie said. "We
want people to know we need their
support. It's a way of direct interac
tion with South Africa."
While it is necessary for black
students to be concerned about the
welfare of South Africans, it is
equally as important for other stu
dents to show concern, said Mich
elle Reid, a member of the group.
7 "It' snot a problem just for blacks.
.We need everyone to get together
for the cause."
CIAAC may seek support
The CIA Action Committee
(CIAAC) may enlist the Student
Congress in its effort to conduct an
on-campus debate with a CIA repre
sentative, CIAAC member Joey
Templeton said Wednesday. The
CIAAC may ask the congress to
pass a resolution in support of the
group's request for a debate, she
said.

The Alliance of Neighborhoods and
the Cat's Cradle recently announced
their endorsements for the 1 989 Chapel
Hill Town Council race.
The Alliance will back incumbents
Julie Andresen, David Pasquini and
Art Werner and new-comer Joyce
Brown.
Art Werner started the Alliance of
Neighborhoods in the early 1980s as a
forum to hear concerns of local resi
dents. Representatives from Chapel Hill
neighborhoods form the Alliance and
work to protect area neighborhoods
from problems incurred by extended
development. About 40 representatives
from the Alliance met Tuesday night
and announced their choices for the
town council.
Brown, the only challenger to be
backed by the Alliance, said she thought
she received the group's endorsement
because she held many of the same
beliefs.

Frank Heath, the manager of the

Last spring the Cat's Cradle reo

previous lease. Werner successfully
passed a recommendation by the coun

"He (Werner) was the main person

Heath said. "He was one of the few in

Supreme Court stalls
DTH vote certification
By JENNY CLONINGER. ,:
University Editor
The Student Supreme Court, acting
on Student Congress representative
Jeffrey Beall's (Dist. 7) initiative, filed
an injunction Thursday that temporar
ily will prevent the verification of a
student vote.
"Some student laws have been vio
lated, and I'm not going to overlook
that," Beall said. He declined to say
which points he planned to address in
his formal complaint. "I don't want to
be specific at this point."
The congress, in a special meeting
Sunday, voted to suspend laws requir
ing a six-day prior notice to place a
referendum on a ballot. The referen
dum, which was on Tuesday's ballot,
had been overlooked in an earlier
committee meeting. The referendum,
which changed the bylaws of the DTH
so they agreed with the makeup of its
Board of Directors, was passed by stu
dents in the campus election.
The complaint revolves around
whether the suspension of the public
notice requirement is a violation of the
Student Constitution, said Asa Bell,
Student Supreme Court chief justice.
Beall said he abstained in the con
gress vote Sunday. "Because it was a
special meeting, I didn't have time to,
research it," he said. , '
Bell met with Beall and other mem-'
bers of Student Congress Thursday to
hear information about the complaint.
A pre-trial hearing Sunday will decide
whether the case will appear before the
full court. ' '
"The injunction is just for the pur
pose of keeping the Elections Board
from going through the certification
process on that particular referendum,"
Bell said.
The delay in verification will keep
the case within the constitutional time
limit for Student Supreme Court cases,
Bell said. "I'm not going to say that

"I'm excited that people have com
mitted to setting aside a day to discuss
these issues and to go in with open
minds," she said. "Hopefully they will
go away with ideas they themselves
can work on to help financial aid at
UNC."
Lewis said he thought the fact that
students and administrators would be
working together on these issues was a
great improvement from a couple of
years ago when student-administration
relations were not so strong. ?
"It is an excellent sign of administra
tive responsiveness. $
"I think we will come out with a
strong consensus and a lot of creativ
ity." . there is a constitutional issue here," he
said. "I wanted the court to have juris
diction over this case.
"There is a possibility (of a constitu
tional issue), but I'm not making that
kind of determination. This is just to
give all interested parties time to pre
pare a case for .the court."
If the case reaches the Supreme Court
and the court decides a constitutional
violation was committed, a revote
would be called, Bell said. If the court
rules against the complaint, the injunc
tion would be removed and the Elec
tions Board would certify the vote. The
Student Supreme Court, is the highest
level in the UNC judicial system.
David Smith, Elections Board chair
man, said he didn't understand the
reasoning behind Beall's complaint.
"We (the congress) had pretty carefully
found a way that we would do this (put
the referendum on the ballot)," he said.
"I think it's something he (Beall) sim
ply doesn't want to happen, and he's
taking action to slow it down and, at
this point, to frustrate as many people
as he can."
Gene Davis, speaker of Student
Congress and member of the DTH
Board of Directors, said rules previ
ously have been suspended when time
was limited. The last incident was dur
ing campus elections in February, when
three new members of the Elections
Board had to be appointed quickly to
keep election certification valid, he said.
y. "I don't understand what Jeffrey's
trying to prove," Davis said. "I don't
understand why he's dragging Student
Congress and student government
down, and subsequently dragging down
the student body.
"I really think this is a personal
vendetta against The Daily Tar Heel
and us (the congress). I think Jeffrey
Beall needs to go back and re-evaluate
all he's done this semester and see what
his motive was."
