The team went to Florida to assist the victims of Hurricane Andrew. Paul Spire, team mechanic, said the team was happy to help the beginning of the clean-up process. "Everyone was glad that we could help, and we were glad to because there was so much devastation," he said. According to the team's supervisor, Jim Kelvin, the group's main responsi bility was to clean up debris from the roads. "The total debris moved off the streets of Homestead was 7,633 loads of mate rial," he said. The team's 12-hour day included Professor: Quotas not the answer By Tara Duncan Staff Writer Glenn Loury, an economics profes sor from Boston University, faced great dissension at the UNC law school Thurs day when he said affirmative action was not the way to solve racial inequality. Loury addressed a crowd of about 50 UNC students and law professors, say ing that affirmative action distracted the American public from more impor tant racial issues. "We are distracted by symbolic ra cial issues, and affirmative action is one of these," Loury said. "There is a false and misleading idea that affirmative action is an effective way for dealing with racial problems." Loury cited college admissions pro cedures and employment practices as examples of how affirmative action can make minorities trunk that they can not reach the same ability levels as whites. "Employment is often on the basis of the top 10 students, but employers also have to reach a racial number because of affirmative action laws," he said. 'Some of these students might be cho sen from below the top 10 students. When I see a black, I don't think that person is from the top ten, but from the affirmative action numbers." Loury's ideas on affirmative action were rebutted by many audience mem bers.

The volunteer team lived in a tent park set up by the National Guard called Camp Tar Heel, which housed 1 75 vol unteers from North Carolina. "The camp was just like any army camp set up," Spire said. "We had portable army showers, port-a-potties, two hot meals a day and made ready- to-eat packets for lunch." Equipment operator Joe Campbell said the team was surprised by the ex tent of the damage they saw every work day. "I never expected it to be so bad; things were all torn up," Campbell said. "Every single house suffered damage, and there was no foliage left." John Scott, the team's arborist, also said he was surprised by the effects of the hurricane.

St. Anthony's Hall Poetry, Prose and Pancakes. The event kicked off the fraternity's formal rush Sunday. The fraternity, officially named Delta Psi, was founded Jan. 17, 1847, St. Anthony Abbot's Day. Since then, it has been known as St. Anthony's Hall. In 1970, the fraternity became the first national Greek organization to go coed. Seven out of its 10 national chapters are now coed. The UNC chapter became coed in 1971 and remains the only social coed frater nity on campus. "I don't think you get a tenth of the experience with all men," said senior English and philosophy major Gary Stahlberg. "When you limit yourself to one type of people, then your expe rience is similarly limited." Senior English education major Alii Herring said she had a more well rounded experience in a coed frater nity. "A lot of the things that interest me are gender issues, and now I get support and input on both sides." But rushee Titus Bricknell claimed that the emphasis was not that the fraternity is coed, but rather that there was no distinction between genders. "What brings people together is what is in the mind," he said. Bar Opens At 10:00 DTHDale Castle aiding Hurricane Andrew victims without windshields," Scott said. "It was dangerous because a rock or something could have flown up and hit them." The team admitted to having to over come many hurdles during their work days. There were no street signs, and ev erything had to be identified with land marks, Kelvin said. Phone communication also was not available, and everything had to be pow ered by a generator, he added. Spire said: "There were even prob lems with our tires because we continu ally ran over debris full of nails and glass." . But Kelvin said despite all the catas trophes, the team felt as if they had accomplished their goal. "Everybody down there wanted to help," Kelvin said. "It's nice to know that people with those capabilities who don't know each other could work together as one." Members and rushees of St. Anthony's The fact that St. Anthony's Hall is coed and at the same time a member of the Inter-Fraternity Council often causes problems. "Because we are coed, the IFC never knows how to classify us, so we are often left out" Stahlberg said. The fraternity has one of the top three grade-point averages in the IPC but has been left off the IFC's listing, he said. St. Anthony's Hall is open to every one. But the fraternity has no minori ties, like most other fraternities. "We do have alumni minorities and CfapdPffls (Best lasting frozenyqgurt.

Walsh Staff Writer Work on plans for the second health affairs division parking deck is continu ing, but Edward Hoskins, architect of the University's facilities planing and design office, said the project might cause some annoyance for the residents of Odum Village. Plans call for the parking deck to be constructed just east of the existing health affairs parking deck and across from Odum Village and the Victory Village Day Care Center, Hoskins said. "It' s going to be a five-story parking lot," he said. "So, it will sort of loom over Odum. In that way, it is going to affect them." Odum Village residents would not be affected by the increased traffic be cause it would be kept in the health affairs division area, he said.
