Controversy Comes To Senate
ByJOYBRITT
and
ELAINE WHITKOWSKI
Several items of business swept
across the Senate floor last
Tuesday night, some proving to be
controversial.
Vice President Sybil Mann held
the nearly three hour meeting
together on such issues as the an-nual
review of the classification of
organizations (COO) and the ap-proval
of new appointments to the
Executive Cabinet. _
The annual review of the
classification status of all
organizations recognized by
Student Government was given by
COO Chairperson Robert Sherril).
The committee made several
recommendations for changes in
organizational type status and
sought the approval of Senate.
Sherrill commented, 'This is the
first year that the committee has
attempted to initiate a proper
review and careful consideration
to all organizations with
recognition and those petitioning.
For the past few years, the com-mittee
has been inactive in doing
to."
There are four types of status
that Student Government
classifies for organizations. Type
I, as outlined in the by-laws of
Student Government includes SG,
and its standing committees of its
three branches. Type II consists of
chartered organizations which are
religiously, academically, or
politically affiliated. Type III en-tails
organizations that pertain to
special interest, services, and ac-tivities
of students. It also states
that the organization be a benefit
to a lasge number of students and
not just a selected few. Type IV
recognizes organizations that are
directly associated with, an
organization or group outside the
university.
The following recommendations
were made by the committee:
Type I: COO does not review
because it does not have jurisdic-tion
over special committees of
Student Government. These
special committees are Student
Orientation Committee and the
North Carolina Student
I .egislature.
Type II: The Accounting Club,
Deliverance Fellowship, and
National Art Education
Association were continued from
last year (which means that their
status did not change). The En-vironmental
Issues and Student
Organization of Social Workers
were declared "inactive."
Type III: The Emergency Medical
Association, Outing Club, Neo-
Black Society, International
Relations Club, and The Science
Fiction Fantasy Federation were
continued. Consideration of status
for Masqueraders and Prime
Movers has been postponed until
the fall semester by the commit-tee.
Type IV: Collegiate 4-H and
Public Interest Research Group
(PIRG) were continued. Circle K
received "inactive" status and the
status of the Jaycees have been
postponed until the fall semester.
Two student organizations
petitioned Student Government
for Type III status: the History
Club and the Association for
Women Students(AWS).
There was considerable debate
from both sides. AWS President
Stacy Smith was allowed speaking
privileges from the gallery. She
said, "We have begun to take into
consideration the basic interests of
women on campus. When you have
as many women as you do on this
campus then an organization such
as AWS can be a viable for-ce...
We've already made plans to
send out surveys to every woman
student, at least in the dorms, to
ask them...what their needs
are...as women and as human
beings."
Some negative debaters felt that
the organization should not be
granted Type III status because it
would be requesting funds from
Senate appropriations. The
senators felt that Student Gover-nment
funds several organizatons
at the present time and it would be
infeasible to add another to its list.
Smith made this point, "Since
they already have a budget set out,
they would not have to come to
Senate to ask for money every
other week for a different
program. They are relying on the
Women's Resource Center right
now for much, if not all of their
fundings."
Senator John Neal made a
statement along the same lines.
"They have talked about issues
that are pertinent to a wide range
of the student body...They have
done all of this with no assistance
from Senate. They've looked other
places and have done a lot of hard
work on their own."
More negative debate produced
new other ideas. Richard Roper
stated, "Even though it
specifically does not discriminate,
it is a demographically separatist
organization, it is based on what a
person is rather than what a per-son's
interests and goals are. It is
a wonderful organization but it
should not be given Type III
status."
Senate debated the status of the
History Club as well. Sherrill men-tioned,
"It is an active group. They
Sonsor lectures and movies and
ways have a good turn out."
Roper argued on the negative
side. "The History Club is an
academically oriented
organization. The activities they
sponsor are films, speakers, and
lectures, all academic activities
that should be and are offered by
the History department. This
opens the door for every academic
interest on campus to band
together and can cause a potential
upheaval throughout the entire
campus community."
Both organizations did receive
Type III status.
The approval of new appoin-tments
to the Executive Cabinet
gave senators some concern.
Those approved are as follows:
Dave Huffine-Press Secretary,
Tom Franklin-Secretary of Town
Student Affairs, Deb Best-
Secretary of Campus Policies and
Regulations, Joey Katzenstein-
Secretary of Residential Affairs,

cellence Awards. Each award
carries with it a $500 check from
the UNC-G Annual Giving
Program.
In addition, several Student Ex-cellence
Awards will be conferred
on juniors and seniors at the con-vocation.
The students will be
selected from more than 300 up-perclassmen
at UNC-G.
Dr. Richard Bardolph, emeritus
Jefferson Standard Professor of
history, will be the featured
speaker. Bardolph was a 1980
recipient of a teaching excellence
award. He was a 1979 recipient of
the coveted 0. Max Gardner
Award, the highest honor the
UNV system can bestow on a
faculty member.
UNC-G Chancellor William E.
Moran will present the two
teaching excellence awards.
Traditionally, one has gone to a
senior member of the faculty and
the other to a junior member of the
faculty. Last year's winners were
Dr. James Atkinson (Romance
Languages) and Dr. Paul Cour-tright
(Religious Studies).
Dr. Keith Cushman, director of
UNC-G's Honors Council, will
present the Student Excellence
Awards.
Stacy Smith-Secretary of
Women's Affairs, Kim Theriault--
Executive Assistant, and Curt
Bloom-Secretary of Athletic Af-fairs.
The recommended appoin-tment
for Secretary of Com-munications,
Pete Walker, caused
some debate.
Senate could not reach any
decision at that time. Pros and
cons were many and therefore the
issue was tabled.
Senate adjourned its last Spring
meeting after about a three-hour
round of debates and discussions.

'Garpmania' Returns
SiMCMlTaTVrOTtowui
The 35-year-old writer had just
finished his fourth novel, a 531
page manuscript entitled "Lunacy
and Sorrow." He was determined
that this new book would reach a
larger audience than his three
Cvious works, which together
sold fewer than 16,000 copies.
With the help of his agent, he left
Random House and offered his
latest novel to other publishers,
bravely demanding a $20,000 ad-vance
and a sympathetic editor.
While several firms were in-terested
in "Lunacy and Sorrow,"
only Henry Robbins at E.P. Dut-ton
satisfied both requirements
and thus obtained publishing
rights to what soon became known
as "The World According to
Garp."
The Carolinian is sponsoring a
free showing of the film adaptation
of Th* World According to Garp
for UNC-G students, faculty and
staff on Tuesday, May 4 at 7:30
p.m. in Aycock Auditorium. The
free screening, in association with
Warner Brothers and American
Passage, comes almost a month
before its national release
sometime in June.
Contemporary Jeremiahs
regularly proclaim the demise of
fiction, and slipping sales for all
but the crassest potboilers seem to
validate their obituaries. Reports
of the Berious novel's death remain
an exaggeration, however, as the
extraordinary success of "Garp"
recently demonstrated. Greeted
with near-unanimous critical
hosannas and eventually
nominated for both the National
Book Award and the National
Book Critics' Circle Award, John
Irving's fourth novel went on to
sell over 4 million copies, a com-mercial
achievement usually
reserved for tales of nym-phomaniacal
jet-setters,
demonically possessed tykes and
family dynasties.
Even before its official
publication on April 24, 1978,
"The World According to Gary"
had become "the most talked-about
novel in recent yean," ac-cording
to Publisher's Weekly.
Selections had appeared in
magazines as varied as Anthaeus
ancT Penthouse, Ploughshares and
Gallery, and the literary world was
primed for the arrival of a major
novel and an important new
novelist. The book made the New
York Times' hardcover bestseller
list for 20 weeks, and its author
was named on of "The 25 Most In-triguing
People of 1978" by People
magazine, along with Brooke
Shields, Pope John Paul II and
Miss Piggy. "Garp," said the
magazine, "is arguably the finest
piece of fiction of 1978. It is cer-tainly
the most fun to read."
Book reviewers shared the
general public's enthusiasm, even
if they could not agree among
themselves about the novel's main
thrust. The Rolling Stone's Greil
Marcus felt "the book is about the
worst fears of its characters
coming true" and "about the
necessity and the limits of
morals," while novelist Margaret
Drabble wrote in Harper's that the
novel was "about the violent in-security
of the world we are forced
to inhabit." Another novelist,
Stephen Becker, identified "Ir-ving's
deep themes" in the
Chicago Sun-Times as "the
struggle to love and the labyrin-thine
ways of sex; the artist's
surly anarchy;wrestling as sport
and metaphor; sickness and death
as part of life; the anguish of the
heart in a world of horrors, of
violence, betrayal and self-betrayal
- and yet, and yet, of
humor, courage and humanity."
If critics could rot agree about
the novel's subject, they did
generally agree with Terrence Des
Pres, who concluded his rave
review in the New Republic by
calling "Garp" and its author
"brilliant, funny and consistently
wise."
When Bantam Books published
the paperback edition early in
1979, it ordered a first printing of
1,200,000 and spent $200,000 on
what Newsweek called "one of the
splashiest promotion campaigns
the book industry has ever laun-ched."
The book itself was printed
with six different jackets
illustrated in assorted high-gloss
colors, to appeal to diverse
segments of the reading public.
Three separate radio commercials
were produced, print ads featuring
the ruggedly handsome Irving
were extensively used, and buses
in key cities carried banners
plugging the book. Golf caps, wrist
and head sweatbands, bumper
stickers and T-shirts were also
created, emblazoned with the
slogans "I Believe in Garp" and
"Beware of the Underload" (a
reference to a juvenile character's
misunderstanding a parental war-ning
about the undertow of the
ocean).
Soon after its paperback ex-
Blosion, the Canadian magazine
laclean's explained this so-called
"Garpmania' more clearly than
had the earlier reviewers. "'Garp'
has become a pop sensation, en-tering
the common consciousness
the way only a few books ("The
Catcher in the Rye,"Cateh-22')
have done. Garp himself is well-nigh
a national hero -- a guru for
the troubled times the book
describes. A lot of people have
written to Carp's creator, telling
tales of how the book helped them
in their own crises; some now even
showed up on his doorstep with
their bunale of troubles."
Phi Beta Kappa Inducts 23
A total of 23 students have been
initiated into the Epsilon chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa at the Univer-sity
of North Carolina at Green-sboro.
The students were elected to Phi
Beta Kappa on the basis of their
high academic achievement in the
liberal arts during their un-dergraduate
years at UNC-G. Phi
Beta Kappa was established in
1776 at William and Mary College
to honor students with outstan-ding
academic records. Since then,
it has become national in scope.
UNC-G is one of only five
colleges and universities in North
Carolina which has a Phi Beta
Kappa chapter. UNC-G's Epsilon
chapter was established in 1956.
Between the years of 1935 and
1955 students on campus were
initiated into Phi Beta Kappa in a
special section of the Alpha chap-ter
at UNC-Chapel Hill.
The new members initiated on
April 22 include chemistry major
Mark W. Swaim of Kernersville,
the society's only junior initiate
this year.
Senior* admitted to Phi Bet* Kappa this
year are: Deborah L. Eratchey, a political
science major, Karen R. Hitchcock, a
