The United States' policy towards
Central American environmental and
ecological devastation was the main
topic of discussion for lecturer Jane
McAlevey of the Enviornmental Proj
ect on Central America. The talk was
held Friday in the Hanes Art Center
auditorium.
McAlevey 's lecture was one of many
events scheduled for Earth Week and
was sponsored by the Student Enviorn
mental Action Coalition (SEAC).
Central America is the most ecologi
cally devastated area in the world,
McAlevey said, and if measures are not
taken to solve the region's problems,
its economy may not survive.
"Eighty-three percent of the soil has
eroded from Central America," she said.
'Ninety-five percent of the total forest

1991 senior class
From staff reports
Senior class officers made final se
lections Sunday for the 1991 senior
class marshals.
Officers selected 37 marshals from
94 applicants, said Pete Holthausen, ;
senior class president.
Marshals were selected on the basis
of their applications and interviews with
senior class officers, he said. This year

Auctions successful for APO, 1990 seniors

How much would you be willing to
pay for an opportunity to have dinner
with UNC Chancellor Paul Hardin at

$5.
The senior class Philanthropy Com

"Industries have polluted the water,
food and soil stores to the point that
only one in 10 Central Americans has
access to clean water. Pesticide poison
ing is the second highest in the world
the DDT used in CentraKAmerica is
244 times the legal limit, and the
list goes on and opA am curious as to
how a systemoasically agriculture
based, will continue to exist under these
harsh conditions."
U.S. actions concerning environ
mental issues must change because
present dealings with Central Ameri
can environmental issues are lacking,
McAlevey said.
'The ecological problem indirectly
stems from peasants, mainly because
of the effects of war and the need to
survive, moving deeper and deeper into
1991 senior
marshal positions to increase the diver
sity of representation.
"We wanted to have a balance of
opinion and a diversity of cultural
groups in our administration," said Chris
Brown, senior class vice president.
Holthausen said the class officers
were trying to take a different direction
by increasing minority representation
in the senior class.

marshals the senior class can select, he

reaching the $10,000 goal to aid 10
local charities, said Christi Mock,
Campus Chest chairwoman.

the forests, cutting down trees as they
progress," she said. "As a result of the
United States' invasion on Panama,
30,000 people were left homeless and
were iorcea to nee into tne forest in
order to survive.
"The United States' response to this
peasant activity was to send $500,000
to buy equipment to extract these people
from the forests. This action by the U.S.
just scratches the surface concerning
U.S. attitude towards matters of envi
ronment. The U.S. could just as easily
have given all of the homeless housing
so that the forests would not suffer as a
consequence. The United States is
simply not dealing with the ecological
problems at hand."
Problems in Central America reach
beyond that region, McAlevey said.

boundaries. Whatever happens there

Council may host second hearing
By KRIS DONAHUE
Staff Writer
The Chapel Hill Town Council to
night will consider scheduling a second
public hearing on the controversial
proposal for a historic district in the
Cameron Avenue-McCauley Street
area. The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m.,
and the proposed date for the second
hearing is May 21.
On Nov. 20, 1989, the council held a
public hearing on the proposed district,
and on Dec. 12, it referred the proposal
to the town manager and the Historic
District Commission.
However, the council decided in
January the public needed more infor
mation on the historic district designa
tion and regulations.
"The Council felt that more empha
sis should be put on the neighborhood
discussing the options," said Chris
Berndt, long-range planning coordina
tor for the town. "I think it was time
spent usefully, and more people who
live in or own homes in this area are
better informed on what the proposal
would mean for them."

effects the entire world. The United
States has a particular responsibility to
aid Central America."
Alec Guettel, SEAC co-chairman,
said the purpose of the lecture was to
make people aware of the state of the
Central American environment, to in
form people of the U.S. policy toward
this devastation, and in turn to show
how this ecological devastation was
harmful to Central America, the United
States and the entire world.
"This lecture was a way to show
people how the actions of the people in
the United States can affect the world
environment, specifically focusing on
Central America," Guettel said. "By
focusing on Central America, we can
see just how the behavior of the United
States can mean environmental misery
in the third world and elsewhere just
as their actions can affect us."

Owners and residents in the area
have discussed the issue during the last
few months, according to Interim Town
Manager Sonna Loewenthal.
"No consensus has evolved on the
question of whether to establish a his
toric district. Some of the residents are
in favor of the district; some are op
posed," Loewenthal stated in a memo.
Petitions from people on both sides
of the issue are to be presented at
tonight's meeting. Opponents to the
proposed district contend that regula
tions in historical districts take away
from homeowners rights.
When homeowners want to make
changes on their property, the changes
must first be reviewed by the Historic
District Commission, Berndt said.

Concert to
give aid to
rape center ::
By CARRINGTON WELLS :
Staff Writer -The
Orange County Rape Crisis!
Center hopes to raise at least $1,500 at
a benefit concert at Players tonight
said Paige Burns, the center's adminis-'
trative assistant. l
His Boy Elroy, a Raleigh-based band;
will entertain at the benefit, Burns said '
"I read a review of the band in Inde- j
pendent magazine and decided to try to;
get them for the event. Last year wee;
held a similar event, but there were a lot"
of different types of bands. This year
we thought one would be better." l!
This event is different from other;
fund-raisers held by the center because, !
it is aimed at college students. Burns '
said. "Some other types of fund-raisers"J
we have, like auctions, aren't as coK
lege-involved as we would hope. The.
concert is much more directed at cot-;
lege-age citizens. -C:
"This is a good chance for college;
students to participate in a fund-raising
event for local cause," she said. "The
Rape Crisis Center isn't a very populaf'
cause because it's a somewhat ugly;
subject, but we need funds to continue,
to provide direct services and commu
nity education on sexual, assault pres
vention. " ,
"The center organizes work with
victims of rape, sexual assault and child
hood sexual abuse. Our community
education program helps all types of
groups, from kindergartens to fraterni-;
ties and sororities to senior citizen'
groups."
Ashley Moore, a freshman from
Charlotte, said she planned to attend
the benefit. "The Rape Crisis Center is'
the philanthropy of my sorority (Chi
Omega), and I think the benefit will be'
a fun way to make money for this'
worthy cause."
All of the $5 cover charge will bene
fit the center, Burns said. "Players is'
on historic area
Chapel Hill Newspaper, opponent Dan'
Murphy of 2 1 6 Spring Lane said he did
not want such restrictions on his deci-'
sions to make changes. '
"A person's home is the most impor-l
tant artisticaesthetic expression heshe!
will ever make," he wrote. "In free so-.
cieties, government does not control
aesthetic choices by individuals." i
However, Ruth Morris, a proponent
of the historic district who lives at 404!
Ransom St., maintains dwellings in this
area are typical examples of old Chapel
Hill style and should be preserved.
'This would be destroyed if the;
University were allowed to expand there;
with its huge red brick buildings and!
parking lots necessary for its increas-;
ing population," Morris wrote in a let-;
ter to the town manager. ;
