The Lineberger Comprehensive
Cancer Center has received a $6 mil

research and cancer outreach pro-
The grant, given by the National
Cancer Institute to the Lineberger
Center and three other centers foi ex
cellence in breast cancer research,
came at the same time as National
Breast Cancer Awareness Month,::
which began Oct. 1.
The grant will be used to fund a
targe scale, multi-faceted study of
breast cancer involving cancer screen
ing and prevention in approximately
30 N.C. counties.
Etta Pisano, an assistant professor
of radiology, said the three other cen
ters were at Georgetown. University,
the University of California at San
Francisco and the University of Texas
at San Antonio.
In part of the study, researchers will
compare the medical hi .stories and .
symptoms of women with breast can
cer to those of women without the
disease.
Another part of the study will in
volve the creation of educational pro
grams to help inform women in North
Carolina about breast cancer and pre
ventative methods. This part also will
attempt to bring in more women, esne
cially minority women, for
mammograms.
: The study also will focus on rates of
breast cancer and mortality rates of
minority women, especially blacks.

As UNC Provost Richard
McCormick and his panel begin work
ing on concrete plans for a new or
expanded BCC, N.C. State and Duke
universities already have larger black
cultural centers.
N.C. State's African-American Cul
tural Center occupies three floors of the
university's Student Center Annex,
which has been the center's home since
January 1991. The separate building is
a continuation of the Student Center. In
BCC talks coetmiae
into a new BCC, McCormick said.
"Although I hadn't anticipated the
group would reveal itself to be so
strongly in favor of a free-standing build
ing, I think in retrospective that's fine
let's do our part to get that issue
behind us," he said. "Let's tun to the
even more important question of pro
gramming and architectural develop
ments." McCormick said the committee's
decision to support a free-standing BCC
added another goal to its mission to
educate those in the community who
are against a free-standing BCC.
"If we can get an agreement on this
highly politicized issue, it opens the
way for the working group to do a
couple of additional things," he said.
"First of all, we can educate the mem
bers of the community who have con

Charlton Allen, Dist. 21 and Charles
Pierre. Rep. Chris Tuck, Dist. 20 and
Rep. Kevin Hunter, Dist. 1 4, also signed
the bill against Lloyd.
"I am truly a victim of all this," Lloyd
said. "(The impeachment charges) are
very small, insignificant technicalities
not indicative of my ability to solve the
University's problems."
Lloyd said that there were some per
sonal motives in the charges against her
but that she was willing to put aside
differences and work with those chal
A "new" science called molecular
epidemiology allows for more in-;
depth scientific research of the fac
tors which cause breast cancer.
'This SPORE (Specialized Pro
gram Of Research Excellence) grant
; will bring two sciences together that
normally don't collaborate," vad
Dianue Shaw, Lineberger director of
communications. "Molecularbiology :
and epidemiology will be working
together they rarely do this."
; Barbara Hulka, chairwoman of the
epidemiology department, agreed.
"We are combining the best of two
disciplines," she said. "Molecularbi
ology, which studies the smallest units
of the human body genes, amino
acids and DNA will be used within
the context of epidemiology, which
studies causes of disease in popula
tions. "We will better understand the
causes of breast cancer in black and
white women. Preliminary genetic
studies have shown that we may find
gene differences."
Stuart Bondurant, dean of the
School of Medicine, said molecular
epidemiology would be a powerful
tool in stopping breast cancer. ,
' "Breast cancer is a pressing and
growing national health concern," he
said. "There is a sense of urgency to
preventand cure it When we marshal
all of the sciences that are relevant to
the disease together, we have an ex
cellent chance of stopping it"

The African-American Center is run
by a council of directors made up of
four faculty members and three stu
dents and also includes an art gallery
and a library. M. Iya-Uu Moses directs
the center, which sponsors lectures,
workshops and symposiums that relate
to the African-American experience.
Moses said she thought the center
had not had a chance to improve cul
tural relations on State's campus. "We
really haven't had much of an opportu
nity to do that yet," she said.
Although she admits she doesn't
know much about the struggle at UNC,
Moses said she supported students'

cerns about free-standing center.
"Collectively, we can make the case
and explain to members of community
why the working group believes in a
free-standing center."
But student leaders of the coalition
for a free-standing BCC said they did
not consider the report a pledge of sup
port for a free-standing BCC.
"The committee doesn't mean any
thing until we see a building," said
Black Awareness Council co-founder
Tim Smith. "I'd support the committee
if they came in writing saying they
support a free-standing BCC only."
Charles McNair, BSM minister of
information, said he was not surprised
by the announcement that the working
group supported a free-standing BCC.
McNair said the committee was use
less if it did not choose a free-standing

The prosecution will use the testi
mony of former organizational trea
surer Pam Sanders, Dist. 27, and a com
mittee report to prove that Lloyd "will

report to congress about the misman
agement of congressional funds,
Charles-Pierre said.
Lloyd's five accusers have said she
willfully misrepresented the total given
in a report by Sanders detailing missing
office supplies. Sanders' report and the
speaker' s report from the April 22 meet

mitted as evidence.

"If the movement is for a center, it

If the committee chose an expanded

made by Deloris Jordan, mother of the

Officials at Rutgers University in
New Jersey say theirfree-standing black
cultural center has maintained a harmo
nious relationship with the university
and community for the past 23 years.
The Paul Robeson Center, a university-funded
cultural center, provides
support services for black students and
sponsors community outreach programs
while striving to avoid separatism.
Opponents of a free-standing BCC at
UNC say such a facility could cause
added racial separatism on campus.

Clinton told an enthusiastic Reynolds
Coliseum crowd at N.C. State Univer
sity Sunday that the most important
issue in the campaign was what changes
would occur after the end of the cam
paign. "There has already been too much
focus on things that don't have a lick to
do with what's going to happen the day
after the election," he said.
The Arkansas governor greeted the
near-capacity crowd of students and
community members 45 minutes after
he was scheduled to begin speaking.
After being introduced by Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidate and
former N.C. governor Jim Hunt, Clinton
greeted the crowd and launched into his
view of what was at stake in the upcom
ing election.
"In 30 days, the American people
will make a decision that will chart the
course of this nation well into the next
decade," Clinton said.
"The job for us in this election is not
to make the case against the president,"
Clinton said, adding that the state of the
nation made the case. "The question is
what's going to happen the day after the
election."
The Arkansas governor cited the eco
nomic policies of the Bush and Reagan
administrations as the cause of
America's problems.
"We have got to move away from
trickle-down economics," Clinton said.
"For 12 years, we have been in the grip
of an economic theory that has had its
chance .... It is time for a change.
"We've got better ideas," Clinton
said, listing a number of business groups
that had endorsed his economic plan.
Center breeds better understanding
But Yusef Ali, director of the center
at Rutgers, stressed the cooperative na
ture of the center.
"An African-American cultural cen
ter has to have the right mission state
ment, the right people in place and be
part of a team," he said.
Rutgers officials said they were sur
prised that anyone would question the
viability of a free-standing BCC. The
university president and board of direc
tors have increased funding for the cen
ter as its role in campus affairs in
creased. A group that supported a larger
Robeson Center and the establishment
last year of a Hispanic cultural center
included the school president, the fac
ulty senate, provosts, deans and student

medals as part of the 1992 U.S. women's
an exhibition at the Dean E. Smith Center.
"What we need is a new direction . . .
to invest in American jobs. We need to
accept new ideas," Clinton said. "We
need to lift the American people up and
put them to work."
Clinton said that he had entered the
presidential race out of a desire to im
prove the country for future genera
tions. "I don ' t want my daughter to grow up
to be part of the first generation of
Americans to do worse than their par
ents," Clinton said.
Clinton also said that it would take a
unified America to tackle the country's
problems.
"We cannot turn this country around
unless we do it together," he said. "I do
not seek a victory of party, I seek a
victory for the American people."
Clinton said the Republican National
Convention had shown that the Repub
licans were trying to divide America.
The Democratic nominee also said he
would face up to controversial issues,
such as AIDS, that the Republicans had
tried to use to divide Americans.
'This country never got anywhere
divided," Clinton said. "I'll face (the
AIDS crisis); I'll deal with it"
When Clinton referred to a speech at
the GOP convention that called for a
"religious war," the audience booed and
hissed loudly.
Clinton then said, "everybody's got a
place in my vision of America," to the
loudest applause of the afternoon. i
Clinton also spoke out against nega
tive campaigning, accusing the Bush
campaign of distorting his record
Clinton said he had tried to avoid nega
tive ads and had been victimized by the
Republican campaign's attacks. '.

UNC Provost Richard McCormick,
who came to the University from Rutgers
this summer, said the Paul Robeson
Center did not contribute to racial sepa
ratism at the school.
"(But) I'm not sure it did much to
alleviate it," he said. "That's not to say
there isn't racial separatism (at Rutgers)
just like at Carolina."
