Improvements sought
for minority education
By Tiffany Ashhurst
Staff Wrher
s National and state leaders said Fri
day that poor and minority children
were being served by existing educa
tional programs but added that pro
grams should be improved to address
children's needs more effectively.
j Speakers at a weekend conference
addressing the state's educational mis
sion for poor and minority children,
held in the University s Student Union,
included Julius Chambers of the Na
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People Legal De
fense and Educational Fund and N.C,
Sen. Howard Lee, D-Orange County.
Chambers and Lee said in Friday
session that the federal government
was doing little to improve educa
tional programs for poor and m inority
children.
Existing federal programs can be
used to help minority children, Cham
bers said.
African-American students should
not be placed in special education
programs and be labeled incapable of
doing work comparable to that of other
students, adding that the Chapter One
program should be revamped, he said.
Chapter One provides supplemen
tary education for children who score
poorly on standardized tests. Minori
ties and underprivileged children of
ten are placed in Chapter One pro
grams. But Chambers noted that the Chap
ter One program was one of the few
social programs in which budget in
creases had occurred.
"Even modest success with disad
vantaged problems should be ap
plauded," he said. "Investment in our
children can and does work."
Lee addressed the problems differ
ently, explaining that successful, ex
isting programs should be recognized.
'The Senate Bill Two impacts the
lives of poor local educators and lead
erswhileofferinggreatopportunities," Lee said.
Senate Bill Two is a state program
that grants schools funding for extra
programs and pays teachers for their
involvement in programs outside of
their teaching requirements.
Judith Washington, who attended
the two-day conference, said she
thought children were not being pro
vided an adequate education.
Washington is executive director of
the North Central Legal Assistance
Program, which provides legal repre
sentation for students who have dis
putes with school systems.
'The (state education) administra
tion should provide before- and after
school care programs, even if they
have to open at 6 a.m. and feed chil
dren breakfast."
Groups sponsor AIDS awareness week
By Howard Thompson
Staff Writer
What do a stand-up comedian, apanel
discussion and a bike-and-run biathlon
have in common?
Cynthia Carsten, spokeswoman for
the Carolina AIDS Resource Ensemble,
hopes together they will help promote
education about AlDS and sexually
transmitted diseases.
This week has been designated AIDS
Awareness Week, jointly sponsored by
the Kenan-FIagler School of Business,
theCarolinaAIDSResourcesEnsemble,
the Carolina Union Critical Issues Com
mittee and the Student Health Service.
Carsten said the week's purpose was to
"promote more awareness, education,
understanding and involvement."
Events will include a talk by nation
ally known speaker on sexually trans
mitted diseases "Dr. Bill" Goettel, a
panel discussion titled "AIDS and Soci
ety, Where We are and Where We Need
to Go" and a biathlon to raise money for
the AIDS Task Force Fund.
Judy Kim, spokeswoman for theCriti
cal Issues Committee, said the groups
came together unexpectedly. "Early this
semester, we wanted to get Dr. Bill,
when health education service contacted
us. They were also trying to get him.
Andsince the business school was plan
ning the biathlon the same week, we all
decided to do one big thing."
Rob Ward, second-year MBA stu
dent and biathlon committee member,
said the School of Business originally
was planning the biathlon as a separate
event before they found out about the
other groups.
The groups will have a table in the
Pit all week to distribute literature on
AIDS and to sell biathlon T-shirts.
The week's first special event will be
"Dr. Bill" Goettel's program on sexu
ally transmitted diseases at 8 p.m. Tues
day in Great Hall. Goettel, a licensed
venereal diseases nurse in New York,
will host a program that will include a
comic routine and a game show.
Goettel said his unusual approach to
serious issues helped him transmit his
message. "If I strictly lecture about
ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies
and diseases, no one would show up.
But if I offer some entertainment and
laughter, then I might get a few."
Goettel started to develop his pro
gram when he was a member of the
Syracuse University Health Services
and was asked to do a column for the
student newspaper. It was so successful
he began a weekly radio program that
was picked up by three stations in cen
tral New York. After four years, he
started speaking at colleges, military
bases and conventions nationwide.
Goettel said he saw himself as an
educator and avoided giving advice.
"Young people don't want advice," he
said. "I just provide information and let
the audience accept it or reject it."
Although his style may not be typi
cal, Goettel said he believed it was
appropriate. "There are many, many
hazards out there. I am light-hearted
and may come across as rude and crude,
but it is intended for a laugh."
He also said that his response had
been very positive. "Nobody has ever
fallen asleep at my show."
On Wednesday, a panel discussion
will be held at 8 p.m. in the Hanes Art
Center auditorium. The discussion will
address the future of AIDS, problems it
will cause in society and in the work
place, and the government's role in treat
ment and research, Carsten said.
Dr. Charles Van Der Horst, director
of the UNC AIDS Clinical Trials Unit
and assistant professor in the infectious
diseases division of the UNC medical
school, will moderate the panel. "My
role is to create controversy and encour
age participation," Van Der Horst said.
He said the panel would address the
problems behavior toward AIDS and
the role of students in the epidemic.
The panel members are Rachele
Kanigel, medical reporter for the News
& Observer, Joe Herzenberg, Chapel
Hill Town Council member, David
Jones, public affairs director of the AIDS
service coalition; Suzi Wilson, nurse
practitioner in infectious diseases at the
UNC medical school; and Paul Waldon,
a 1989 UNC medical school graduate
and AIDS patient.
Wilson said she hoped the discussion
would raise awareness on how AIDS
affects students. "The scary part is many
students say 'It's not my problem, I'm
not gay,'" she said.
Herzenberg agreed that people often
misunderstood the disease. "The epi
demic is in its 12th year, and many still
think it's something that happens far
away, and that's not true."
Waldon said his perspective as an
AIDS patient would be important in the
discussion. "I think any time I can get
out and talk to people to get the message
across, I should," he said.
The week's finale will be the biathlon,
beginning at 8:30 a.m. Saturday in front
of New Carroll Hall. It will consist of a
3.5-mile run around campus and a 10.5
mile bike ride through southern Orange
County. Prizes will be given to top
individual finishers in each age group
as well as top teams and top racing and
mountain bike finishers.
