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." See REACTION page 6 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 Sec IMMUNIZATION page 7 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.
