By Anna Griffin
University Editor
About half of UNC undergraduate
students support a multicultural center
rather than a free-standing black cul
tural center, according to a poll con
ducted for The Daily Tar Heel.
Sociology graduate student Richard
Miech conducted the random sample
telephone poll for the DTH. The poll
included 303 student responses from a
target population of 400, for a total
response rate of 76 percent. Pollsters
interviewed students by telephone be
tween Oct. 25 and Oct. 28.

'92: a Halloween to remember
By Daniel Aldrich
Staff Writer
It was as if the Gates of Hades had
opened upon Franklin Street and spilled
out thousandsofinhabitantsof the nether
world.
Dante's words, "Abandon all hope,
ye who enter here," applied to anyone
who went downtown looking for a night
of peace and quiet.
Hi-Lighter Man, the Grim Reaper,
Condom Man, the Playboy Bunnies,
the Pink Panther, Captain Kirk, Dr.
Seuss' Cat in the Hat, Rambo, Gilligan
and even Jesus showed up to stroll and
check out the other attendees.
Around 8 p.m., police blocked off
one lane of Franklin Street from Rose
mary to Henderson Street so the revel
ers could have some space to move.
And move they did.
"We're all white trash," shouted sev
eral men dressed in garbage cans.
"Bring out your dead," answered a
coffin-carrying crowd.
"We've found a witch may we
burn her?" yelled a Monty Python in
duced mob.
"But how do you know she's a
witch?" responded the well-cued crowd.
A woman carrying an "Official Cos
tume Judge" sign wandered through the
crowd checking out die attendees. She
never held up any 10s, though.
The annual, unofficial parade filled
the 100 block of Franklin Street on
Halloween night as merrymakers
dressed as ghouls, goblins, underwear
men and even trees descended on down
town Chapel Hill.
Even UNC-system President CD.
Spangler and his wife, who were dressed
as a university president and spouse
the real Spanglers came downtown
to check out the crazies. Spangler was
dressed in his usual double-breasted
suit and tie.
There were religious-theme costumes
nuns, popes, Jesuses and the occa
sional devil. There were gender-theme
costumes men as women, women as
men, women as bizarre things, men as
men, women as women and people as
generally asexual bizarre things.
Some people went for the comic as
pect of the evening. "Yale Grad will
work for food" was the sign carried by
a person in a graduate's robes.

Workshops sensitize TAs
By LeAnn Spradling
SLaffWritcr
Some students have been teaching
TAs a thing or two about teaching.
The TA Diversity Workshops at
tempt to show teaching assistants how :
to be more sensitive to minority stu
dents in their classes.
"We're providing a space and a
forum where TAs can ask questions of
undergraduate students directly," said
Kurt Miyazaki, instructor and training
coordinator for the cultural diversity
program. "Having the experiences
come from the undergraduate's mouth
makes it much more real,"
Kerry Hayney, instructor and as
sessment coordinator for the cultural
diversity program, said there was very
little training for teaching a diverse
student body, ("Universities are be
coming much more female in terms of
gender and more colored in terms of
ethnic minorities."
About six students from various
backgrounds make up the panel for
each workshop. Miyazaki is always
looking for new students to serve on
the panel to provide di f ferent perspec
tives. "If you keep having the same
people, authentic experience turns into
rhetoric," he said.

Rally debacle
By Thanassis Cambanis
Staff Writer
In the wake of a BushQuayle rally
that interrupted an environmentalist rally
Thursday, the co-chairman of the Stu
dent Environmental Action Committee
said he was exploring pressing charges
against the organizers.
Josh Busby said he was planning to
talk to Susan Ehringhaus, UNC legal
counsel, about avenues for legal action
against the organizers of the rally.
Rally organizers did not obtain Uni
versity permission to use the area be
tween Davis Library and Lenoir Hall,
University officials said Sunday.
SEAC members held a rally in the Pit
Thursday to endorse "The Green Team,"
a list of pro-environment candidates.
Toward the end of the SEAC rally, a

ask die panelists any questions they
might have about teaching minority stu
dents. The sessions often begin with
one of the program coordinators relat
ing an experience they had in class.
The workshops are designed to last
an hour, but they sometimes run over
because the participants want to con
tinue the discussions.
David Sisk, an English TA, said that
at a workshop he attended, several
people continued the discussion out in
the hall after one of the sessions was
officially over. "It was a very open and
non-accusatory experience," he said.
"It was very free-form."
Hayney said certain problems repeat

students are expected to speak for all
black people, and women are expected
to speak forall women,"he said. Hayney
also remembered a Taiwanese panelist
who recalled being asked on several
occasions to. pronounce Vietnamese
words for a class.
Senior Hubie Yang, a student panel
ist, added, "Lots of TAs assume that a
student from a particular race or culture
knows everything about that race or
culture."

program was to have panelists speak
only for themselves, not for a whole
race or culture. "We're very careful not

The rallies disintegrated into a shout

for about an hour.
Afterward, some SEAC members
complained that the Republican rally
was purposely disruptive.
"It is unclear whether or not their
intent was to disrupt a previously sched
uled rally," Busby said. "We'll find out
whatever violations they've done, and
we'll nail them."
Busby said that the GOP rally was
organized by outsiders and that the one

The panelists also touch on differ
ences that might not be readily seen.
Hayney gave the example of a lesbian
student who was asked to respond to
the question, "Did yougo out with
your boyfriend last night?" in a foreign-language
class.
Response from panelists and TAs
to the workshops has been very posi
tive, Miyazaki said.
Dianne Chambers, an English TA,
- said she got some ideas on how to be
more sensitive to her students. "Gen
erally (the workshop) was about how
to make everybody feel they were
involved how to include every
body without singling a student out on
the basis of race or gender or sexual
Orientation or ethnicity."
Sisk said: "(I learned that) it's not a
bad idea to ask charged questions about
sexual and ethnic issues in the class
room if you make everyone respon
sible for answering instead of singling
out students. I always thought it was
better to avoid asking questions rather
than upset students."
Yang said the workshop allowed

"We're going to be sure the Univer

set a precedent so students go through
the proper channels to use facilities as
we did."
