By BRIAN LYNNE Staff Writer Senior Week '90 begins today at noon in the Pit with the Senior Week Kick-Off starting the weeklong sched ule of events, including several new activities, for the graduating class. "We've really upscaled Senior Week this year," said Billy Worsley, co-chairman of the Senior Week committee. Organizers tried to plan several new events and continue successful Senior Week activities from past years. . Fun is not the only focus of Senior Week '90, organizers said. Emphasis of this year's events will be on raising money. Danny Rosin, co-chairman of the philanthropic committee, said the monetary goal was to raise $5,000. All proceeds from the Dunk Your Teach For America searching for non-education graduates By BETH TATUM Staff Writer May graduates and Carolina alumni can enjoy an all-expense-paid trip to California this summer. Sound too good to be true? It's all a part of Teach For America. Teach For America is a new pro gram taking people with majors out side the education field and training them to teach for two years in the urban and rural areas hardest hit by the na tional teaching shortage. The program is seeking graduating seniors and alumni, especially those who are bilingual and those with ma jors in math, sciences, and foreign lan guages. The program begins with an eight week, all-expense-paid trip to Los Angeles (June 17-August 11) where education faculty from across the coun try will provide instruction in teaching skills and cross-cultural understand ing. Participants will also be given opportunities to student teach. Those trained, referred to as corps members, will be sent to various loca tions to teach for two years following the program. Potential areas include Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los An geles, Detroit, New York City and cities in New Jersey, as well as rural areas in Mississippi, New Mexico and North Carolina. Areas may change, however. Town Meetings Chapel Hill Town Council i: :x ,v 7:30 p.m. Town Hall, 306 N.

CORNER a SUNDAY BRUNCH CHAPEL HILL, NC Favorite Senior and the first Senior Class Auction will go to benefit the homeless shelter in Chapel Hill. Worsley said the week would have two purposes. "We wanted to give the seniors a chance to enjoy one of their last few weeks at UNC, and also to provide them with an opportunity to give something back to the town." Senior class officers have scheduled a wide range of activities, including a formal attire Senior Class Ball at the Holiday Inn on 15-501 and Rejection Night at Bub O'Malley's, to try and ensure that there will be something for everyone, organizers said. Some of the new events scheduled for Senior Week '90 are: D A slumber party in the Pit Wed nesday. "I think it would be awesome because need cannot be determined until the end of the school year. Applicants are given the choice of whether to work in rural or urban areas. The idea for the program originated last year, when a student at Princeton University presented the idea in her senior thesis. She proposed the creation of an organization that would use ac tive recruitment, short time commit ments, a selective and centralized ap plication process, an intensive training institute, and a placement and support mechanism. Teach For America comes in re sponse to the crises facing the public school system today. A brochure for the program states that, on average, 3,600 students drop out each school day; students in the United States con sistently score below students of nearly all other industrialized nations in math and science; 75 percent of all 17-year-olds are unable to write an adequate analytic essay; and one-third of the U.S. population is functionally or mar ginally illiterate. The application process involves a written application and two interviews, the first round occurring on April 23. Applicants will be notified of accep tance into the program two weeks after the interview. Between 250 and 500 people from across the nation will be selected to participate. DM3 re nun f Eim-fm?

North Carolina requires employees enrolled in its retirement program to work in full-time positions. This re sulted in the job becoming a permanent instead of a temporary job. The posi tion had been the only full-time staff job that was not permanent. The town pays 1 0 percent of the cost and the state pays another 10 percent. The other 80 percent of the salary is paid out of federal grant money the town receives. However, only $53,000 & SERA-TEC BIOLOGICAIS (above mem 942-0251 LIU and a free tuxedo rental.

These are the most important events, organiz ers said. 'The week culminates on Saturday," Worsley said. The Senior Class Auc tion will be held in the afternoon, fol lowed by the Senior Class Ball. Underclassmen can participate in any of the week's events, but activities such as the ball are predominantly oriented toward seniors, Rosin said. The auction includes several events.

Some aldermen were not sure they wanted to make the position permanent or that they could afford the planner without continued federal money. They worried that they were committing themselves to paying the entire cost after the grant money ran out. "It's a broader issue of whether or not we want to have this position," Alderman Jay Bryan said. "A town of this size does not need this type of position."

Senior Class President Bobby Ferris said, "The Alumni Association and the Office of Student Affairs have given strong financial support." The senior class gift, a wall between Murphey and Saunders halls, should be j completed by Wednesday, but its dedi- ; cation has been postponed indefinitely.

In Chapel Hill, transportation planners receive between $27,935 and $40,488.. Carrboro had offered its planner vacation time, sick leave and health insurance, but not retirement benefits. Town Manager Robert Morgan said he hoped the new benefits would end Carrboro's eight-month search for a planner. The additional benefits will cost Carrboro approximately $250 next year. When the federal money runs out, the board can eliminate the position, Morgan said. But the town should keep the position for now while it has the advantage of federal dollars.
