FRANKLIN ST., CHAPEL HILL (919)929-7626 MON.-FRI.10-7..SAT. 10-6, PROVIDING 21 YEARS Paee&te deliberate healtlrcare refform By Dana Pope City Editor A panel of health-care experts Tues day night discussed alternative health care plans and answered questions from Chapel Hill residents about the issue. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Coalition . for Health Reform sponsored the fo rum, which was held at Chapel Hill Town Hall. The two panelists were Ken Thorpe, a professor of health administration at the University, and Pam Silberman, projects director of the N.C. Health Access Coalition. Connie Mullinax, a health-care management consultant, moderated the panel discussion. "I believe the cost of inaction is ex ceedingly high and is increasing every year," Thorpe said. "The stakes are very enormous ... it's time to act." The objective of Tuesday's forum was to help residents make decisions concerning alternative health-care plans, specifically between the single-payer plan and the "play or pay" plan. The "play or pay" plan wouldrequire a business to provide health care for employees or would require it to pay the government to provide health insur ance for its employees, while the single payerplan would allow individuals more freedom to choose which insurance com pany best suited their needs. Silberman said that she supported the single-payer plan and that consum ers would have more choices if busi nesses did not provide the insurance, but she added that she would support a "pay or play" plan if that were the only option available. "If I had a choice of a Clinton 'pay or play' plan or no choice at all, I would take Clinton's plan," she said. "I am not sure at this point that we have the politi cal clout to get (the single-payer plan) through." ButThorpe saidthat he supported the pay or play" plan and that consumers should make the decision between the two alternatives. "Let people choose whether they want private or public coverage," he said. Students, housekeepers By Teesha Holladay Staff Writer Speared on by impassioned pleas from several of the University 's lowest paid employees, about 20 students met Tuesday night to discuss ways they could help the UNC housekeepers. It s real hard, said Marsha Tinnen, one of the leaders of the housekeepers' movement. "If you could just say some thing nice to a housekeeper, it'll make them feel better." The housekeepers, most of whom are Night march planned to fight campus crime By Casella Foster Staff Writer In response to a recent outbreak of sexual assaults and violent crime at the University, the Carolina Gay and Les bian Association and the Feminist Alli ance are sponsoring a "Take Back the Campus, Take Back the Night" march Thursday. The march will begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Pit. Marchers will walk through South Campus, around Carmichael Gymnasium and return to the Pit. Although there are no designated speakers, the march will focus on height ening student awareness and alleviat ing fears about crime. Hey, there is a problem here, and we're not going to sit back and take it," said Doug Ferguson, co-chairman of the CGLA. "(The march) is also a sign of empowerment that shows that UNC students aren't defenseless victims. March sponsors hope about 200 people will participate, Ferguson said. Katy Egerton, head of the Feminist Alliance, said she hoped the march's message would reach the underclass men because the majority of them lived on campus and were affected most di 4g CRE I THROUGH SAT., SEPT. 12 UP ON ALL SUMMER CLOTHING. & SELECT TENTS, PACKS, CANOtS, VARIOUS RtlNTAL EQUIPMENT&MUCH MORE!

"(Health-care professionals) can only do it as well as the system lets them do it," he said. Thorpe added that the reforms out lined under the "pay or play" plan would black women, have been fighting for more than a year for higher pay and better working conditions. About 100 of the UNC employees filed a grievance against the University last year. At the Tuesday meeting, student sup porters of the housekeepers were bro ken into four main groups, said student activist Chris Baumann. The duties of the four subdivisions will be: Educating the University commu nity about the plight of the housekeep ers and other low pay-grade employees. "We need students to talk to classrooms rectly by the recent string of sexual assaults. "(We want) this to be a chance for people who are nervous and scared about this to come and say 'I'm angry, and I'm scared about this,'" Egerton said. "We want to draw attention to (South Cam pus)." Members of the Rape Action Project also will participate in the march. The march comes on the heels of two assaults on campus last week and the Aug. 29 rape of a University student in her Granville Towers dorm room. The two assaults took place on back path ways behind Kenan Stadium. "All of my female friends and most of my male friends are afraid to walk alone, whether it be daylight or night time," said CGLA member Kathy Staley. "It is a ridiculous situation to live in, and something has to be done about it." Last year, the Feminist Alliance and the Women 's Forum, a Campus Y orga nization, sponsored a similar march in the wake of multiple incidents of vio lent crime, including several reported date rapes, Egerton said.

Stone died Monday evening after a two-month battle with cancer. He worked at the Chapel Hill police de partment for more than 30 years and served as police chief from 1977 to 1987. Chapel Hill Police Chief Ralph Pendergraph spoke slowly and softly Tuesday about his former superior and friend. "Chief Stone probably knew more people by first name than anybody I've ever met," he said. Interim Chief Ben Callahan of the Carrboro police department said Stone taught him to learn what the commu nity needed. "He set the tone for a people-type of policing," Callahan said. Pendergraph remembered a case about 10 years ago when University student Sharon Stewart was kidnapped and later murdered. Stone spent four days with only two hours of sleep trying to find her before she was murdered, Pendergraph Egyptian medical experts tour UNC By Jason Richardson Assistant State and National Editor Four Egyptian medical professionals are visiting the University and UNC Hospitals as part of a tour of U.S. medi cal centers.

"We are here to be acquainted with education programs in the U.S.A. and to visit hospitals and see advances in technology and how it improves quality of service," Faragalla said. The groups consist of both doctors and nurses in order to gain more calibra tion among the medical professions in Egypt, Faragalla said. "We are working toward that in Asia." Faragalla said she had been most impressed by the facilities at the hospi tal, and Shaabam expressed agreement, "Your "hbspitalsarV very" well equipped," Shaabam said.," Faragalla also said there was a short age of nurses with a bachelor of science degree in Egypt. Seven schools at the bachelor of science level exist in Egypt, with the University of Alexandria hav ing started in the 1950s, she said. The University of Alexandria tem porarily is helping the other schools develop their nursing programs, Faragalla said. DIHErin Randall Parlor & Hill 968-8383
