Literature, peace and women: ideas of a Baha'i author
By NOAH BARTOLUCCI
Staff Writer
Mankind is like a bird, and men and
women are its respective wings. If one
wing is damaged, the bird cannot fly.
This is one of the ideas of Bahiyyih
Nakhjavani, a Baha'i author and for
mer George Washington University
English professor. Nakhjavani will
present, "Exiled from Home: Women
in Peace in Literature" in the Hanes Art
Center, at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
As the third speaker in "The Promise
of World Peace" lecture series, spon
sored by the UNC Baha'i Club and
Chapel Hill Baha'i community,
Nakhjavani will draw metaphors from
literature to approach the question of
women's roles in the world peace
movement.
"If language can house us in mean
ing, then our definition of world peace
has left us homeless forcenturies. Peace
has always been an abstraction, a dim
ideal, an absence," she said. "Women,
too, have for the most part lived fictions
rather than lives."
Nakhjavani plans to discuss meta
phors specifically associated with the
home.
'That should help us explore defini
tions of women and peace that might
give us a new place to live, with mean
ing." The Saturday lecture will reflect her
literary background. She has a doctor
ate in English literature from the Uni
versity of Massachusetts and has taught
at York University in Toronto, Canada.
Besides wearing the professorial
cap, Nakhjavani has written two books.
In "When We Grow Up," she under
lines the inherent nobility in the task of
child-rearing while looking compas
sionately at the human frailties with
which individuals must inevitably
struggle. In "Response," she writes
about interpersonal relationships from
a spiritual, rather than a psychological,
point of view.
The metaphors Nakhjavani has cho
sen to use in her talk are taken from
works by English authors. "I'll be re
ferring to examples from Virginia
Woolf, Milton and Shakespeare," she
said. "Also I'll refer to the writings of
Baha'u'llah."
Baha'u'Ilah, whose name means "the
glory of God" in Arabic, is the prophet
founder of the Baha'i faith. Baha'i is
belief in progressive revelation, where
God sends a divine manifestation for
different ages in history. The Baha'i
faith accepts the teachings of many
other prophets, including Christ, Mo
hammed and Buddha but believe that
Baha'u'llah has brought the revelation!
for this age. '.
The central Baha'i beliefs include.'
equality of men and women, unity of
mankind, universal peace, harmony of.
science and religion, elimination of
racism and prejudice, universal com
pulsory education and a spiritual solu
tion to economic problems.
After the lecture, there will be a
quest ion-and-answer session. The event
is free and open to the public.

Women tracksteirs aim in
third straight conference title
. North Carolina head track and field
coach Dennis Craddock will try to lead
the women's indoor track team to its
third consecutive title at the ACC
Championships in Johnson City.Tenn.,
Friday and Saturday. The men's team
will be gunning for its first title under
Craddock.
Going into the meet, North Carolina
appears to be the clear favorite in the
women's division. But Craddock
doesn't see it quite that way.
"I think Clemson is the favorite,"
Craddock said. "Some people say we
are, but we have a few injuries right
now. It's going to be a close meet
between Clemson and ourselves. I don't
think anyone else will come close."
: Clemson's main strength lies in its
superior depth in the sprints. The Ti

the 55 meter event and four of the top
five in the 200 meters.
However, the Tar Heels have their
own strengths in All-Americans Kim
Austin and Sharon Couch. Austin, a
senior from Wilson, is UNC's triple
threat and ranks in the top five in the
conference in the 55 meter hurdles, the
long jump and the triple jump. Couch,
a junior from Rice, Va., will have a lot
riding on her able shoulders as she
competes in those three events with
Austin as well as the 55 meter sprint.
For the North Carolina men to be
successful, Reggie Harris and Clive
Harriot must do well in the running
events, and Tim Swaim must continue
his success in the pole vault.
Perhaps the main motivating factor
for the Tar Heel women is the fact that
they are the defending conference cham
pions. "It's something we take a lot of pride
in," Craddock said. "Our juniors have
not lost an ACC championship, and we
would like to send the seniors out on
top. But it's going to take a great effort
by the team. We have been winning by
80 to 100 points in the championship,

Fencers lunge into big weekend
The UNC men's and women's fenc
ing teams will compete in five dual
meets Saturday in Fetzer Gym. Starting
at 9 a.m., the Tar Heels will face Wof
ford, Brown, Duke, James Madison
and N.C. State in that order.
The men's team is 14-5 on the sea
son. The women are 13-11.
Gymnasts to host N.C. State
The UNC women's gymnastics team
has an opportunity to jump above the
.500 mark Saturday when the 2-2 Tar
Heels host rival N.C. State at 7 p.m. in
Carmichael Auditorium.
UNC is coming off of an impressive
victory on the road last Friday over
Radford University. The Heels topped
Radford by a score of 174.95 to 170.7.
Junior Carrie Suto continued her excel
lent season by winning the all-around
competition with a 34.95 score. Suto
was followed by junior Debbie Sigler,
whose 34.85 tied her for second in the
all-around. Even more impressive was
the fact that the Tar Heels won without
their top gun, Angie Denkins.
Denkins has received a lengthy rest
due to fatigue after winning the all
around in UNC's first two meets. After
a two-week hiatus, the sophomore
should be ready to go Saturday.
N.C. State sports a 2-3 record com
ing into Saturday's meet.The Wolfpack
is led by sophomore Jill Bishop, sopho
more Carey Buttler and junior Karen
Tart. This is the First of two head-to-head
meets between the two teams, the
other being March 30 at N.C. State.

Where's the beef? Tar Heels7
inside game has disappeared
Wednesday night's 88-77 crum
bling at the hands of the Wolfpack
may not have been a total loss for
UNC. In fact, it may have helped Tar
Heels' prospects in the long run
say, the next four years or so.
You see, high school phenom Eric
Montross was on hand to witness the
carnage, and if Montross is looking
for a college basketball program he
can contribute to immediately, he
may have found it.
Montross, a 7-foot, 250-pound
giant from Indianapolis who has
supposedly narrowed his college
choices to Michigan, Indiana and
North Carolina, is considered the
premier high school center in the
country right now and boy could
the Tar Heels use him.
Some say there is no pattern to this
UNC team. Some say there is no
telling what kind of Tar Heel squad
will take the floor on any given night.
But here's a simple rule which may
make things clearer: North Carolina
cannot win when its inside players
don't show up. Or more bluntly
put as Scott Williams goes, so go
the Tar Heels.
Williams and Pete Chilcutt turned

UNC's ACC losses. The two man

From staff and wire reports
The North Carolina men's swim
ming and diving team completed an
undefeated ACC season Thursday night
in Koury Natatorium by cruising to a
134-109 victory over N.C. State.
The victory gives the Tar Heels an
11-2 record on the season, including a
perfect 6-0 mark in the ACC. The
Wolfpack dropped to 10-2 on the year
and 3-2 in the conference.
Freshman David Monasterio led the
charge for North Carolina. Monasterio,
of Ponce, Puerto Rico, captured three
individual events, winning the 200-yard
individual medley in 1:52.58, the 200
yard butterfly in 1:51.00 and the 500
yard freestyle in 4:33.00.
Other big winners for the Tar Heels
were juniors John Davis and Todd
Schroeder. Both swam legs on UNC's
victorious 400-yard freestyle relay,
while Davis also won the 200-yard
freestyle in 1:40.11 and Schroeder
netted the 50-yard free in 20.53

the Wolfpack, and both hit foul trouble
early. Williams, who eventually fouled
out, had two fouls in the first three
minutes of the game, and Chilcutt had
four less than two minutes into the
second half.
Against Tech, Chilcutt and Williams
had a total of 12 points and seven re
bounds. They made just 3 of 15 shots,
and Williams fouled out. At Maryland,
Williams had 13 points, only four of
which came in the second half, and
fouled out again.
Perhaps most discouraging about all
this is that these paltry efforts came
against the likes of Johnny McNeil,
Malcolm Mackey, Tom Gugliotta,
Mickey Hinnant and Kevin Thompson.
State is not considered a strong team
inside. Georgia Tech is not a strong
team inside. Maryland may have the
bodies, but the Terps certainly lack the
depth or experience to match up with
the Tar Heels. In fact, aside from
Clemson, North Carolina is supposed
to have the best big men in the ACC.
And yet the Tar Heels continue to get

Wednesday, constantly fronted by
Wolfpack defenders who thwarted
attempt after attempt to get the ball
inside, Williams and Chilcutt shot a
combined 4 of 13 and had six turn
overs between them. Only Kevin
Madden's pleasantly-surprising 14
point effort, well above his all-too-quiet
9.6 average, prevented a blow
out. Not all of the blame for UNC's
woes can be placed on the big men,
however. Some of it should be dished
off to a few individuals who need
practice in doing just that. If King
Rice and the Tar Heel guards can't
get the ball inside, the inside men
can't score. Rice once again showed
his mortal fear of penetrating the
lane Wednesday, and that allowed
State's frontline to camp out in the
paint and slap away lob passes all
game long. North Carolina had 21
turnovers in all.
But, on the other end, Rice has no
control over the Tar Heels' defense
in the paint, and the same no-names
that have rebuffed Williams and
Chilcutt defensively have also
outscored the Tar Heel big men on
the offensive end. Mackey had 10
