Carolina Dining Services officials
are considering a proposal to adopt the

formulative stages.
"We were try ing to address the ques

WASHINGTON "If Congress
Can't Control Their Checks, They
Can't Control My Choice."
"If Men Could Get Pregnant, Abor
tion Would be Legal, Ethical and Fed
erally Funded."
"If You Can't Trust Me With a
Choice, How Can You Trust Me With
a Child?"
Hundreds of thousands of pro
choice advocates descended on the
nation's capital with signs, T-shirts
and buttons Sunday, chanting their
support for the Freedom of Choice Act
and the politicians who support it. The
Freedom of Choice Act would legal
ize abortion nationwide, taking the
decision out of the hands of the state.
"For the record, this is a pro-choice
nation," said Geraldine Ferraro, a
former vice-presidential nominee who
is running for the U.S. Senate against
Alphonse D' Amato, aNew York sena
tor who has supported anti-abortion
legislation.
"For the record, we do not want the
government or the church or the White
House or a predominantly male senate
making definitive decisions about our
bodies," Ferraro said. "For the record,
we're going to make our impact felt at
the poll sites in November."
Ferraro spoke to marchers as
sembled at the Ellipse behind the White
House shortly before the "March for
Women's Lives," sponsored by the
National Organization for Women,
commenced at noon. The marchers,
critical of President Bush's stand on
reproductive rights, paraded past the
White House before moving to the
National Mall, where the rally was
held.
"George Bush, they know what side
you're on," said Mary Chapin Carpen
ter, who performed with her group,
Peter, Paul and Mary. "We've got a
hammer, and we'll hammer our way
through, until we get you out of the
White House."

"From my viewpoint, I have to look
at the effects of this lack of business on

Seconds, Please! was instituted at the
beginning of the school year. Students

Chancellor Paul Hardin said the gift
would help provide the school with the
new facilities it needed.
"The equipment that the school has is
adequate. However, the building it is
housed in is not," Hardin said. "We
have been planning a new $13-million
addition to the school, and now we are
$2 million closer.

"Chris Derby (Carolina Dining Ser

committee with a particular, but very
tentative, plan concerning the possibil

at Chase," he said. "He wanted to get
their sense of the area and of the needs
of students.
"At that time, he received very good
feedback from the committee."
The idea then was presented at four

"We may have aborted the child who

At the post-march rally in view of
Capitol Hill, Patricia Ireland, president

supporters: "We must have laws en

University student
in teenager's death

Officials will announce today
whether criminal charges will be filed
against University senior Abigail
Rierson for the death of Chapel Hill
High School student Terrence "TJ"
Robinson, Robinson 'smother said Sun
day. Eighteen-year-old Robinson died
Thursday night from injuries he received
when he was struck by a car driven by
Rierson. Robinson and a friend were
crossing North Greensboro Street at
7:08 p.m. Tuesday when they collided
with Rierson's 1986 Mazda.
. Robinson had been listed in critical
condition since Tuesday.
Robinson, who Chapel Hill High
School principal Marvin Koenig de
scribed as "extremely outgoing and well
known," had served as president of the
downtown teen center. He also had won
several awards, including the Parent
Teacher Student Association award for
most-improved student and the J.C.
Penny award for community work.
Emma Holloway, Robinson's
mother, said her son had been a talented
dancer who had hoped to pursue a ca
reer in the arts. He was the only male
dancer scheduled to perform in the high
school's upcoming production, she said.
"He had so much planned for the
future," Holloway said. "Anything he
wanted, he could have got. It seems like
all his dreams are just wasted.
"He touched so many people's lives,
his life had really just begun, and now
he's gone. I just feel like someone took
my heart and sliced it in a m i II ion pieces.
If God were to ask me to give up any
thing in the world, I would gladly do it,
just as long as I could have my son back.

'Oh God, please take me. If there's
something I've done, please punish me. '

the plan was a bad idea.
"There is an overwhelming consen
sus against the Seconds, Please! meal
plan at Chase Hall," Skipper said. "Most
girls wouldn't be able to eat that much,
so the plan wouldn't be worth the price
for them, and many guys would feel the
same way."
Derby said the plan received positive
comments from many student leaders,
including Residence Hall Association
President Charles Streeter. But Streeter
said he had not heard of the proposal.

Many Chapel Hill High School stu
dents spent Friday with counselors and
teachers, discussing their grief.
"We had some very upset, saddened
students and staff," Koenig said. 'TJ.
was a very giving, friendly person who
was respected by students and adults
alike."
At lunchtime Friday, students set up
a table at the high school and began a
collection fund to help Robinson's fam
ily pay for hospital and funeral costs.
Leftover money will be used to create a
scholarship fund in Robinson's name,
Koenig said.
More than $900 was collected, but
that amount is probably only half of
what is needed, Koenig said. People
wishing to assist Robinson's family can
send contributions in care of the TJ.

ship ability made his death a particu
larly great loss for the high school and
for the community.
"Students are grieving, coming to
the realization that he will no longer be
with us," she said.
Koenig said that this was a painful
time for Chapel Hill High School stu
dents and that the school would con
tinue to provide counseling. Robinson's
death follows the recent deaths of four
students' parents, he said.
"Something we have to be alert for is
the possibility of students becoming
extremely depressed," he said. "We're
going to keep people available and en
courage students to talk with friends or
professionals on the staff. The best
therapy is to keep people talking."
The funeral service is scheduled for 3
p.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church at
