PTA Verdict Reached
By MARION ROBERSON
News Editor
The Administrative Hearing
Board recently announced the ver-dict
of the first strong-armed rob-bery
case at UNC-G. Two Phillips
Hall residents were suspended from
school until the fall because earlier
this semester they stole two pizzas
and coca-colas from a 16 year-old
employee of Pizza Transit
Authority.
According to the February 11
issue of The Carolinian, Jerry
Williamson, Director of Campus
Security; reported that "they held
his arms, took the food and ran
around the dorm. The empty boxes
were found on the third floor stair-well
(of Phillips Dorm)."
The UNC-G students were
charged with strong-armed robbery
because the pizzas were taken by
physical force and it was "attempt
to commit larceny by violence or in-timidation."
Strong-armed rob-bery
is a "felony punishable by im-prisonment-
not more than ten
years or a fine," said Student
Government Attorney General, Pete
Hoover.
Due to this incident, the ex-PTA
employee is no longer allowed to
work. "He was scared to death,"
said Hoover, "and his mother won't
let him work anymore."
This is not the first problem PTA
has encountered dealing with
harassment from colleges and
universities. PTA no longer delivers
at Greensboro College. The em-ployees
are not allowed to carry
weapons but Mace is recommended.
Mace is a temporarily disabling
liquid sprayed in the face to cause
tears, dizziness, and sometimes
nausea. They have been advised to
use it if such incidents do occur.
Along with the suspension of two
Phillips Hall residents, the Ad-ministrative
Hearing Board decided
to "crack down" on vandalism,
theft and visitation violators. Ac-cording
to Pete Hoover, since
February 18 of this year, campus
police have issued 21 reprimands to
students as a result of their hall
walks. These were mainly
reprimands for visitation violation
in Phillips-Hawkins and Strong
dormitories.
The Board decided that any
violators of the housing contract
will be handled accordingly. After a
student receives one reprimand
from security or the dorm coun-selor,
regardless of the offense, he
or she will get a warning accom-panied
by a letter from the Office of
Residence Life, Dean Shirley Flynn.
The letter will read that the violator
is "duly warned • that further
violation of the housing contract
during that contract period will
result in automatic and immediate
removal from the dormitory," ex-plained
Hoover.
Hoover continued to say that
there will be no exceptions-after
two citations of violating the
housing contract the student will
have to move off-campus. If,
however, a student receives only one
reprimand per contract period he
will not be removed because all
Professor
Discusses
Middle East
Dr. Marvin MikeeeU, profe
of geography at the University of
Chicago, recently presented a lec-ture
and v—l*Mir on campus.
A noted authority on cultural
geography in the Middle Best.
Dr. Mikeadl lectured on "The
Impact of Human Activities on
Enviornment in the Near Beet."
He analysed the land of the
Middle Beet, distinguishing rein
agricultural land from irritation
styles of development. He ex-plained
that these factors lead to
divide the Middle Eastern coun
tries.
MikeeeU said that "thai
hard to sssarsase. It
complicated to deal with but it
can be broken down
reprimands are removed at the end
of each contract period.
There are three contract periods:
1. August to May
2. The first session of Summer
school
3. The second session of summer
school
Since the campus police are conduc-ting
the hall walks and since there
has been an increase in the number
of reprimands issued, Residence
Life can no longer "conduct all the
hearings for these cases," said
Hoover. Therefore, "there will be
no more hearings for reprimands.
After two you're out. It's a drastic
change," he continued, "but there's
no other way to do it."
Along with decreasing visitation
violations, the Board hopes this
decision will cause a decline in cam-pus
vandalism and dorm thefts.
According to Hoover, Fred Drake
from the Office of Business Affairs
was presented a figure of J2 '/;
million for basic repairs to all dorms
over a ten year period. This figure is
exclusive of the $40,000 worth of
damages that is estimated for the
campus due to vandalism. The $2
Vi million includes paint jobs and
regular dorm improvements.
'.'The administration and campus
police are fed up," said Hoover.
"You must abide by the rules."
Along with the stricter rules by
the administration, students are
becoming active in this "crack-down."
Hinshaw and a few other
dorms have formed student patrols
to assist in the enforcement of
UNC-G's rules.
A group of students working with
campus security was constructed to
alleviate some of security's duties
which in turn enables campus police
to place tighter control in campus.

New Swim Method
Developed at UNC-G
BByy RREENN]E W'EcAADDOON MTI,K. *...,. w—, .,..A:.. ~*-A
Staff Writer
A new method of teaching swim-ming
is being developed at UNC-G
by Charles Cicciarella, director of
the Aquatics Department.
This new method of teaching con-centrates
on relaxing and conserving
energy while swimming rather than
on the individual- parts of a par-ticular
stroke. The more traditional
method of teaching involves lear-ning
a series of steps leading up to
the crawl stroke. The crawl stroke is
one of the most complicated and
physically difficult strokes in
swimming. This makes progress
slow for many people.
The method being tested at UNC-G
teaches students to float in a face
down position, to come up for air
while floating and to move forward
using the breaststroke. The breast-stroke
is a much simpler and less
physically demanding stroke than
the crawl.
The progress of students, in terms
of distance swimming, is far greater
than students in traditional classes.
Students' usually progress from
complete inability to swimming
distances of a 100 yards or more af-ter
as few ss ten lessons. Cases of
students swimming a mile by the end
of the semester are not unusual.
Mr. Cicciarella stated that a lot of
swimming teachers he has talked to
are not sstisified with the traditional
method of teaching swimming.
There have been studies made on
different teaching methods," said
Cicciarella. But it is hard to tell if
progress is due to the method being
used or the instructor of the class."
This new method which has
developed from Cicciarella's 12
years of teaching experience, may be
useful to people who have had
problems learning to swim. UNC-G
offers two beginning swimming
courses. Beginning Swimming (P.E.
151) and Swimming for non-swimmers
(P.E. 150). The regular
beginning course is for people who
do not know how to swim. The
swimming for non-swimmers course
is for people who are afraid of the
water and need specialized instruc-tion.
Rape
Action
Program
Explores
By CAROLE D.GREER
Staff Writer
Jennie Hinson, Education
Specialist from the Rape Action,
Prevention and Education Center,
(RAPE), will conduct a RAPE
Prevention Workshop Wednesday,
March 4th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in
the Kirkland Room at E.U.C.
Ms. Hinson will be showing the
film "Shattered," which deals with
various situations where rape might
occur and explores the aftermath of
the victim's feelings and conflicts.
The film follows the entire process
and various stages relating to rape.
The topic of Ms. Hinson's talk
will concern 'Stranger Rape' and is
particularly appropriate with the
present situation on campus.
Melissa McCauley, a member of
the HPERD department, will be
present to discuss ideas and the
possibilities of defending ones self
in the event of an attack, if avoidan-ce
or prevention techniques are inef-fective.
Director of Campus Security,
Jerry Williamson, expects to have
the security department represented
Wednesday night to speak and an-swer
questions concerning the sub-ject
at hand.
The program is being sponsored
by both the RAPE Center and EUC.
The RAPE Center is concerned
with educating people about rape,
preventing the crime whenever
possible, and advising victims on
how to deal with the crime.
The Center's counselors are
trained, available and willing to
assist a victim through the entire ex-perience,
helping her deal with
emotional, physical and legal
problems.
The program is open to the
public and attendance is en-couraged
by both women and men
since Rape is a crime that effects
both sexes.
Many people do not have an
awareness of rape until after they
have been exposed to it personally
or through someone they know.
Rapecan occur at any time-late at
night, or in broad daylight, on a
dark street or in your home.
The Center invites you to come
learn the facts about rape. Bring a
friend because the person this
knowledge may help could be you!
Great Decisions '81

By ELLEN DEATON
Staff Writer
"Great Decisions '81" lecture
series continued Sunday, March I,
with Dr. Lawrence Kessler as the
guest speaker, Dr. Kessler, a
professor in the Department of
History at UNC-Chapel Hill, spoke
on China's relation to other
prominent nations in a lecture en-titled
"China After Normalization:
How Good a Friend For The
U.S.?"
Dr. Kessler began his speech by
saying that both the U.S. and China
are trying to overcome obstacles in
order to establish better relations
between themselves.
"We have an opportunity to
make relations with China after 30
years of ignoring her," said Kessler.
"We now have the opportunity to
see them (the Chinese) up close as
human beings rather than as a
stereotype."
Kessler continued to say that the
U.S. should keep striving for this
firm relation with the Chinese.
However, he wss "very wary of
forming a military alliance with
them or giving them any type of
military aid."

ween the U.S., Chinese Nationalist
Republic (Taiwan), and People's

believed "it was in our national in-terest
to establish relations with
China and break-off relations
with Taiwan." Trade is still flowing
with Taiwan, and Kessler felt that
the break of relations with her was
the most peaceful solution
Kessler spoke of the relationship
between the U.S.. China, and the
Soviet Union as a •'triangular poker
game" and that we need to be
"even-handed in this relationship
without tilting toward either coun-try."
However. Kessler seemed to think
that the U.S. was already tilting
toward China, which may be put-ting
us in a dangerous position.
In conclusion. Dr. Kessler said
that the situation in U.S.-China
relations could easily be reversed.
In China, diplomats and professors
