Candidates Speak In Senate Forum
Several of the Executive Office see Senate as the parents and ul the ty, not quantity and I feel we need selected through interviews given
money if there is care
Candidates spoke before the Senate
at last Tuesday's meeting to give a
brief speech about their ideas and
goals for their prospective posts.
Here is a brief overview of the can-didates
and their thoughts:
Student Government President:
0) Ricardo Rodriguiz says, "The
function of student government is
to be alert to the student's pro-blems."
He says he wants to, "lead
students on a great crusade against
apathy." He also commented that,
"The relationship between branches
of student government need to
work together."
(2) Keith Woodard commented
that three of the main problems
on campus are "apathy, participa-tion,
and unity." He says that
"The main point of student
government is to give students
what they want." He says that
there's not a lot to do on campus
and suggested buses to soccer
games, and including KH A in stu-dent
government.
(3) Davis Swain is no longer
running.
SG Vice-president: (1) Corey
Hudgins—She has been a member
of SG for three years and is current-ly
serving as Appropriations
Chairperson and President Pro-tempori.
According to Hudgins,
"We lack a strong Senate ... I
would like to make Senate a more
notii-able organization on cam-pus
... we need a lot more publici-ty
about Senate to reach more peo-ple.
I would also like to see more re-quirements
made for Senators and
for these senators to keep office
hours in their dorm, home, or
possibly EUC. I believe JLD needs
more money. Students come here to
learn and then find a job. JLD helps
these students find these jobs and
this is an essential project."
(2) Wendell Carter has been in-volved
with SG for two years and
is currently serving as Parlimen-tarian
Senate. Carter addressed
what he sees as the main problems
on campus. "There is a lack of con-cern
on the part of students for this
organization. People also miss out
on things because they are
unaware ... therefore, education
and orientation are necessary to in-crease
paticipation with all
organizations. SG is like a family. I
organizations and clubs we sponsor
as the children. We should work
with organizing and promoting all
these groups. I also believe SG
should work more on projects such
as the Legal Services Clinic and
stay away from social program-ming.
We should work with the in-dividual
school departments in-stead.
I would also like to see bet-ter
records kept of Senate and other
committees. Students should have
access to all these records."
For the Attorney General posi-tion,
Kent Mai hews is running
unopposed. He was unable to attend
Tuesday's forum but will attend the
other forums to talk about his hopes
for making a strong Judicial Branch
and the possibility of having law
career seminars to better the
Judicial Branch and benefit of all
students.
Preeident of EUiott University
Council: (1) Dean Johnson:
Johnson has been a
member of the Executive Board
and the Marketing Team this year.
Johnson stated his primary reason
for running, "I don't think anyone
can do it better. I do a lot of com-plaining
this year ... and complain-ing
shows concern. I believe we
have to go out and find out what the
students want. We are not aware of
what the students want because we
have gone to no great measures to
find out thus far. I have been work-ing
with Marketing to find out more
about what the students
want.. .and this is the job of EUC,
to give the students what they
want."
(2) Camilla (Teresa) Oehler: has
been a member of EUC since her
freshman year and has been a
member of the Executive Board for
3 years. She is also serving on the
Marketing Team, has been the
organizer of Fall-Sprawl and a par-ticipant
in several other EUC pro-jects.
She said, "We need more
communication between students
and administration ... we need to
get more students involved and in-terested
with EUC projects. I
believe there are Iota of ways to
decrease the apathy on cam-pus
.. . and I will work on this next
year. I have been working with the
Marketing Team to do exactly
this ... we will be looking for quali-
Security And Senate
Respond To Campus Rape
MARK A. CORUM
Cap? Edits*
On January 29 around 11 pm, a
female UNC-G student on her way
back to her dorm was raped by a
man who "appeared to be out jogg-ing."
She was near the dining hall
loading dock behind Guilford dorm
when the man approached her from
behind, grabbed her and dragged
her up the service drive and behind
the cafeteria kitchens.
According to Jerry Williamson,
director of UNC-G Security, the
woman was able to give a very com-plete
description of her assailant
and help a sketch artist for the
university draw a composite of him
which is reproduced to the right. He
is described as a white male in his
mid-twenties between 5'9" and six
feet in height with acne scars across
his face, a flat nose, and brown,
wavy, greasy hair that was at the
time wet with sweat from jogging.
He was wearing a dark sweatshirt
and grey sweatpants and "looked
like a joggtr." Williamson added
that his hair was messy rather than
styled at all.
"I'd like to see anyone with any
information bring it to us," William-son
said in a Carolinian interview
yesterday. "Any information can be
kept strictly confidential. If they
know him just tell me-we'll check
it out from there." He added,
however, that the case is currently
under the investigation of the
Greensboro police department.
"It was one of those things that
can happen no matter what you
do-a lightning quick attack," said
Williamson. "He dragged her back
there... and there was a weapon us-ed.
He held a club against her throat
but we think it may have been
something he picked up." The vic-tim
didn't report the rape until two
days later.
"That's why we push self defense
training—for everyone, at least a
little bit. And, even for a short walk,
students should use the escort ser-vice.
I feel that SG was good enough
to put up the money for that service
and it's a way for students to get a
return on tne activity fees they
pay." he added.
At present, UNC-G has done
quite a bit to make the campus
safer, but many feel there is more
to do. Williamson said "You do all
you can. We have campus police,
rangers out there along with the
escort services. We spend $50,000
on new lighting to illuminate the
campus and we're running a mo-torized
escort service for girls. We
just put in two emergency phones
in the new parking lot (on
Kenilworth Avenue beyond the
B&E building) so girls can just pick
up the phone and tell us to come out
and get them. The escort van will
go right out from there."

to determine the needs of the
students so we can involve more in
activities. To do this, we will need
a strong group of individuals to en-courage
others."
Commuting Student Associa-tion
Dewey Whitaker was not able
to attend the forum but is running
unopposed and will speak at a later
forum.
David Alexander is running unop-posed
for the office of University
4edia Board Chairperson. Alex-ander
has worked at WUAG for two
years, serving as News Director last
year and General Manager this
year. He has been involved with
UMB for one year. According to
Alexander, communication is vital-ly
needed between the students and
UMB. "Media Board needs to send
out a mailer to inform students
about how the different medias
work and how they can get involv-ed
with these different groups. We
also need to do something about
Pine Needles. 1 would like to have
a public hearing to give students an
opportunity to voice their opinions
about whether or not they would
like to continue this publica-tion
... and if so, how they would
like to fund this project."
Carolinian Editor: (1) Mark
Corum has been serving as
Copy Editor at The Carolinian this
year and has been involved with The
Carolinian for 2 years and other
papers since before he came to col-lege.
Corum said he would like see
The Carolinian run like a profes-sional
small town newspaper. "This
university is like a small communi-ty
in itself. I would like to see us
cover the entire university. This
would include giving reporters
specific beats and assignments to go
out and get news, building better
communications between organiza-tions
and the paper. I would also
like to emphasize strong editorials,
in-depth features and equal access
to the paper for all viewpoints to
better this newspaper and
university."
(2) Bob Pearson is currently ser-ving
as Features Editor for The
Carolinian. He has been working
with the paper for approximately
two years. Pearson stressed a need
for a competent and cohesive
newspaper staff which would be
at the beginning of the semester.
"Lack of a competent and
cooperative staff can tear apart the
quality of a newspaper," he said. "I
would also like to see a larger paper
produced. Several students have
said they would like to see more
copy. This can be accomplished
through a larger paper. For exam-ple,
there is a potential to save
careful coor-dinating
of production time
schedules. A cost-benefit analysis
will need to be done."
Dawn Nubel is the Candidate for
Coraddi Magazine Editorship.
Nubel has been serving as editor of
the publication this year. "Coraddi
is a tool to teach others about the
arts. I would like to feature more in-terviews
and articles to accomplish
this goal. 1 would also like to see
Coraddi sponsor poetry readings
and writing workshops next year,"
she said.
Executive Office Elections will be
held February 21-22. Candidates
spoke at the NBS Forum last night
at 6 p.m. in Claxton and will apeak
at a Presby House Forum that will
be held on the 20th at 6:30 p.m.
NBS Holds Orientation
By SANDY ALVIS
Ntw. Krtllor
The Neo-Black Society (NBS) is
sponsoring a Minority Orientation
beginning Friday, Feb. 17. High
school students have been invited to
attend the orientation, which will
attempt to ease the transition from
high school to college.
Willaton Burns, President of
NBS, says that this will give the
prospective students a chance to
"find out about campus and to get
uaed to campus life." The group of
mainly minority students will at-tend
a variety of lectures and
discussions during their overnight
stay at UNC-G. They will also be
able to attend a performance of the
NBS dance group and a dance given
by Delta Sigma Thru.
The students will arrive on cam-pus
at noon on Friday and will
register at the Presbyterian House
before going to lunch. At approx-imately
2:15, they will attend a lec-ture
entitled "Education Oppor-tunities
at UNC-G." After the lec-ture
the NBS dance troupe will per-form.
Both the lecture and the
dance will be held in the Cone
Ballroom of Elliott UniveisjiLy
Center.
Discussions concerning Financial
Aid, Special Services, and Support
Services will be held in Alexander
Lounge of EUC at 3:15. The group
will go to dinner at 5:00. That even-ing
beginning at 8:00 they will at-tend
a dance given by Delta Sigma
Theta in Cone Ballroom of EUC. All
students are invited to the dance.
Some of the residence halls will be
converted into temporary hotels in
order to house the students for the
evening. On Saturday from 10:30
until 11:30 they will participate in
a Rap Session in order to discuss
any problems that they may have
encountered and to find answers to
their questions about the campus.
Burns encourages UNC-G
students to be helpful to the visiting
students and to come to the dance
to get to know them.
Schools Toughen Vaccination Policy
IOWA CITY, IA (CPS)--Students
returning to the University of Iowa
this month will have to show
something else besides a check to
get back into classes: proof they've
been vaccinated against measles.
Stanford is also requiring
students to show proof of immuni-ty
to rubeola and rubella this month.
And though they're not holding
students back from classes now,
Notre Dame, Indiana, Illinois and
Houston, among other schools, are
making measles shots available to
students and urging them to get im-munized.
In mid-epidemic last
spring, Indiana kept non-immune
students from returning from
spring break.
Tht victim of a rape on UM UNC-G campus January 29 helped a campus atcurity ar-tist
draw this composite of her assailant. Anyone recognising this person or having any
information is urged to contact campus security at 379-6963.
Some groups-most notably the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
and the American College Health
Association (ACHA)-now want all
schools to force students to prove
they're immune before even being
admitted to college.
The CDC's Dr. Kim Farley, for
example, strongly "encourages
universities to adopt policies of
proof of immunization prior to
entrance."
The reason is that measles is mak-ing
a comeback among college-aged
people. In 1981, there were 101 stu-dent
measles cases around the coun-try.
That grew to 115 in 1982, and
then ballooned to some 282 student
cases in just the first six months of
1983, the ACHA report found.
Many student cases, moreover,
were clustered on certain campuses.
Thirty-three of the cases were at
Houston last spring. One hundred
and seventy-nine University of In-diana
students fell ill during the
scare. As a result, "things came to
a halt" in Bloomington, recalls Dr.
llarJeanne Collins. Collins heads
ACHA's immunization program
and is a director of the University
of Pennsylvania's Student Health
Center.
Last springs epidemic spread
across six campuses in the Midwest,
Texas, and Florida, according to the
CDC in Atlanta.
Since the outbreaks typically ar-rive
in February and March, many
schools are increasing their
vigilance at the start of this term.
Some believe that, left uncheck-ed,
the problem could spread far-ther
during the upcoming measles
season.
"Measles," points out Dr. Harley
Feldrick of Iowa's student health
service, "is probably the most con-tagious
of communicable diseases."
An airborne virus, rubeola-
"hard" or "red" measles-announces
itself to the victim with
a spotted rash, fever, a cough and
stuffy head. It is most contagious
three-to-four days before the person
actually feels sick, Feldrick says.
Rubella is usually a less-debilitating
form of measles, but it
can cause birth defects in unborn
children.
As many as one out of every five
college students in the U.S. may be
susceptible to the disease, Collins
estimates, because people in the

EUC Sponsors Dance
The recent amiable weather has
been a constant reminder that
spring is just around the corner.
With this delightful weather comes
what we've all been waiting for ■
Spring Break. Elliott University
Center is attempting to get the stu-dent
body into the spirit of Spring
Break.
EUC will show the movie Spring
Brtak and will sponsor a dance
afterwards in Cone Ballroom.
Spring Break is a recent film that
glorifies the antics of a group of col-lege
students who are spending
their break in Fort Lauderdale.
Afterwards there will be a Spring
Break dance in Cone Ballroom.
Students should come dressed in
their beach wear, although bikinis
are not recommended. Goodnight
Charlie will provide a variety of
music for the would-be beach goers.
Although some beach music will be
played, popular music will be the
star of the evening. In order to keep
up with the beach theme, hot dogs
and ice cream sundaes will be
served.
The movie will begin at 9:00 on
Sat.. Feb. 26. The dance will take
place immediately afterwards and
will end at 12:30.
