. Graduatestudentemployeesdemand
ing a University-funded health insur
ance plan will rally in front of South
Building Monday.
- Graduate Students United submitted
a petition Feb. 1 8 and asked Chancellor
Paul Hardin to add his support to the
more than 1,000 graduate students and
faculty members who signed the docu
ment in support of the proposal.
. A good turnout at the rally, which is
set to start at noon, would affirm that the
insurance plan is an important campus
issue, said Seth Holtzman, GSU orga
nizing chairman.
"The purpose of the rally is pretty
simple: to have the chancellor see how
important this is to people on campus,"
he said.
Kathy Nasstrom, GSU co-chairwoman,
said Hardin had agreed to speak
at the rally after receiving several letters
from GSU members.
"I told the chancellor that graduate
students would really like to hear from
him directly," she said. "What we plan
to do is to ask him what the present
administration position and thinking is
on this issue and go from there."
The GSU wants to hear Hardin's
statements before taking further action,
Nasstrom said. "At this point it is wait
and see."

CHICAGO Arkansas Gov. Bill
Clinton swept to twin victories Tuesday
in the Michigan and Illinois primaries,
moving forcefully to cement his domi
nation of the Democratic presidential
race. President Bush won big as well
and said his nomination was "virtually
assured."
. Proclaiming victory at a rally in Chi
cago, Clinton sounded an anti-Washington
theme, saying: "I ask you to
remember what the people have voted
for. They have voted for change. They
have voted to go beyond the politics of
both parties in Washington."

Joel Sipress, editor of GSU's news

March 3. Sipress said lie was not en
tirely satisfied with Hardin's response.
"He expresses sympathy with health
insurance concerns but did not make a
firm commitment or statement of posi
tion," Sipress said.
GSU is requesting $582 a year to
help fund insurance for 2,200 to 2,400
graduate-student employees.
The UNC Faculty Council voted
unanimously Feb. 21 to support the
proposal.
Hardin's letter stated that he under
stood the graduate students' concerns
but reminded them of budget confine

in principle, my colleagues and I are
supportive of your concerns regarding
health insurance, and I can assure you
that this matter has been and still is
under active study," Hardin stated in
the letter.
"Nonetheless, we do have to face the
question of resources and budget reali
ties," Hardin wrote. "I hope you can
understand that it is not easy to find
immediate financial solutions to all
problems that I fully support, but I can
assure you that we are devoting a great

One scholarship athlete who hurt his

The doctor refused and administered
a painkiller when the pain persisted, the
athlete said. "They pumped me up with
so much anti-inflammatory, which is
basically a painkiller."
When the athlete finally insisted on
an X-ray, the doctor told him that it
showed nothing wrong with his foot.
It wasn't until the season was over

Signs that called for "No Compro
mise" and "Stop Ignoring Us" faced
Chancellor Paul Hardin as he addressed
about 100 people Tuesday, refusing to
yield to demands made by a coalition of
campus organizations.
Hardin stood at the top of the South
Building steps and told onlookers that
he admired and shared the idealism that
led the coalition to honor the late UNC
Professor Sonja Stone and to support
the underpaid University housekeep
ers. But Hardin did not grant the
coalition's demands, which include a
free-standing Sonja H. Stone Black
Cultural Center, an endowed chair in
Stone's name and University support
for the housekeepers.
"I do not agree with those of you who
advocate a free-standing (BCC),"
Hardin said. "I favor a center that is, by
geography and program, inviting and
inclusive a forum, not a fortress."
Hardin said that although he sup
ported the expansion and improvement
of the BCC, a free-standing center would
alienate those students who did not yet
appreciate black culture.
Hardin and other administrators have
suggested that the University allocate
one-third of a proposed Student Union
addition to the new BCC. Other possi
bilities include expanding Chase Hall
or the Daniels Building, which houses
the Student Stores, Hardin said.
But coalition members shook their
heads at these suggestions. Michelle
Thomas, BCC ambassador, said that no
buildings on campus were named after
a black and that credit needed to be
given for accomplishments made by
blacks.
Arnie Epps, Black Student Move
ment president, said structural limita
tions would make an addition to the
Union impossible.
"The Union is not designed for that
purpose," Epps said. "And the Union
the precincts gave Clinton 46 percent,
Brown 28 percent and Tsongas 19 per
cent. In Illinois, with 46 percent report
ing, Clinton had 50 percent, Tsongas 27
percent and Brown 15 percent.
In the Michigan GOP primary, where
Buchanan had made his stand. Bush
had 67 percent of the vote, Buchanan 26
percent. In Illinois, Bush had 76 per
cent, Buchanan 22 percent.
Bush said his double victories
"pushed the delegate count to a level
where my nomination is virtually as
sured." He added in a written statement,
"I will seek the support of everyone
who believes that we can change
America as we changed the world."
ABuchanan adviser, speaking on the
condition of anonymity, said Buchanan
would announce Wednesday that he

Epps said Hardin's oral suggestion
of an addition to the Union could not be
trusted.
"We cannot consider anything that
has not been officially offered to us in
writing," Epps said. "Hardin must say
that 23,000 square feet is going to be
given to the BCC. This is necessary
because the chancellor has stated a lot

- Many members of campus minor
ity groups have mixedemotions about
; the ongoing struggle for a free-standing
black cultural center.
A multicultural center, proposed by
t Chancellor Paul Hardin as a possible ;
i compromise to a new BCC, would
better serve all students, said several
representatives from non-black minor-,
ity organizations on campus.
"I think it's dangerous for the Uni
versity to fund a center of that nature
when there are many people on cam-
: pus of more or less minority standing
than black students," said David
' Kessel, president of the Hillel Foun-
: dation, a Jewish student group. ; ,
A coalition of students fighting for
a new BCC have directed their struggle
: against Hardin by protesting ouiside
South Building and labeling Hardin
racist. Banners outside South Build

Plantation," and students accused the

donors themselves are honored."
Scott Wilkens, Campus Y co-president,
said Hardin had told the coalition
at an earlier meeting that the $500,000
necessary to create an endowed chair
must be fully funded by one or two
contributors.
"I was distressed that Hardin didn't
support the endowed chair today,"
Wilkens said. "The chancellor knows
plenty of wealthy people, but he isn't
willing to put in a good word to his
friends."
Hardin also said he did not have the
authority or the resources to raise the
wages of housekeepers. Administrators
have done all that they can legally do to
help the housekeepers, he said.
"However, the Office of State Per

Scott Wilkens, co-president of the
; Campus Y, which is one of the groups in
the coalition, said, "I feel the whole
issue of a multicultural center makes
' sense, but it delays the whole issue,"
u The Black Student Movement is the
only organization that has asked for a
cultural center, he said. The BCC is for
all students, not just black students, he
said. He said Campus Y members felt
the black movement could be used to
address all minority issues.
Hardin told about 100 onlookers
Tuesday that the University doesn't have
enough money to fund a free-standing
center only for black students.
Kessel said he thought many stu
dents supported the BCC because they
would appear racist if they didn't, r
"Many students fall into the fold of
'Hardin's Plantation' because they're
afraid' if they don't do it, they will ap
pear racist," he said.

Hardin said.
Wilkens said Hardin had buried the
issues constantly and had not supported
the coalition's efforts.
"I know (Hardin) has the power to
meet our demands," Wilkens said. "We
wouldn't be here if we thought he had
done everything he could."
Elizabeth Kolb, Campus Y co-president,
said the coalition would continue
to call Hardin's office and home to
voice their concerns. The coalition also
will continue to display the "Hardin's
