Swaim And Woodard In Runoff
BY SANDY ALVIS
Nf»i KdUrr
Last night's election results pro-duced
yet another runoff. After
Spring Break, another runoff will
be held to decide whether Davis
Swaim or Keith Woodard will be the
next Student Government
President.
Swaim received 205 votes and
Woodard received 186 votes. An ad-vantage
of 50 percent plus one is re-quired
to establish a winner. Lorie
Tyson, a write-in candidate, receiv-ed
96 votes. Senate, which will meet
on March 13, will decide on the next
runoff date.
Also present on the ballot was the
choice of whether or not to accept
the constitutional referendum. The
referendum, which will attempt to
improve Student Government, was
passed by students who hope to
receive better representation. The
constitution needed 2/3 of the
voters approval in order to be pass-ed.
It surpassed this total.
Kim Theriault, Student Govern-ment
President, was vital in the
development of the new constitu-tion
and is pleased "I am very pleased
with the results, but I wish we
had more voters out to the polls,"
Theriault commented. A total of
513 students voted at the runoff,
which is less than half the number
that voted in the original election.
Student Government will now
focus on putting the new constitu-tion
to work. Theriault says, "Now
that we have the referendum passed,
it is time to work on the by-laws.
I hope to get more interested
students involved to write these
new by-laws. I also plan to continue
to educate students about Student
Government and its new constitu-tion.
1 think with this new constitu-tion
we will get new students in-volved
and better representation
for the students"
Senate Appoints And Appropriates
By SANDY ALVIS
Ntw«.MiUr
During this week's meeting,
Senate approved the appointments
of eleven new committee members,
discussed Student Government
elections, and appropriated $1,500
for a banquet for S.G., campus
organisations, and any interested
students.
Appointed to the Current Con-cerns
Committee were Brad
Howard and Bruce Raper. Kelly
Salyer. Tina Walace, Debbie Parks,
and David Alexander were ap-pointed
to the Publicity Committee.
The Elections Board appointments
went to Curtis Singletiry, Donna
Ricks, and Robert Hubbert. Ap-pointed
to the university court were
Ed Gelgor and Michele TenerelH.
Byron Woods spoke at the stu-dent
forum sbout what he called
"terrorism" that accompanied last
week's S.G. Vice-Presidential elec-tions.
"In my four years here I have
never before witnessed such ter-roristic
tactics. Some parties at-tempted
to turn this—and perhaps
they succeeded-into a racial
issue," Woods commented. He sug-gested
that campus wide racial con-flict
could have easily been provok-ed."
All that was needed was one
altercation." He then urged S.G. to
find out what went on and left them
with the question, "Is this the type

Special Courses To Be Offered
BY LEIGH TRAPP
Auiium Ntw* Editor
Whether you're interested in
North Carolina history, micro-computers,
mysticism, interior
design, landscaping or descriptive
chemistry, UNC-G will be offering
several special classes during its
1984 summer session, that will in-terest
almost everyone.
North Carolina will be the central
issue for two classes: North
Carolina Election Issues (PSC 501)
and North Carolina History (HIS
561). Students will be given a
chance to review different factors
(such as population growth and ur-banization)
to discuss the issues
which will effect the 1984 political
arena in 1984. N.C. will also be
featured in HIS 551 which will
enable students to look at 400 years
of constantly evolving culture,
economy and political systems
which have occurred within this
state. •
For those interested in learning
musical skills, UNC-G will offer a
unique opportunity for people to
study music with artist members of
the School of Music Faculty. There
will also be a class focusing on the
fundamentals of music (MUS 207).
This class is applicable for any per-son
who would like to learn how to
read, write, perform or simply
listen to music. No prior
background in music is necessary
for this course.
Education and Mysticism (EDU
506) is just one of several courses
being offered through the School of
Education this summer. EDU 506
will give students a chance to look
at what traditional mysticism refers
to as the Three Eyes of Flesh,
Reason and Contemplation. The
course will attempt to develop a
"transcendental paradigm which
could rise to a comprehensive defini-tion
of education,' according to the
summer session booklet which is
available across the campus.
Along the line of Education, EDU
688 will feature Microcomputers
with Elementary Education. This
class will look at the major educa-tional
uses of microcomputers. In
addition, students will be able to get
a "hands-on" course in microcom-puter
operating techniques.
For those persons interested in
computers, there will also be
several different specialty classes
offered, including Young Children
and Today's Computer Technology
(HEC 527A), Computer Use in
Home Economics Classrooms (HEC
527) and Computers in Education of
the Deaf (COM 616).
The Physical Education Dept. will
feature a special class concerning
the legal problems and questions
that have come about in the sports
world recently. Current Legal
Issues in Physical Education and
Sport (PE 676B) will attempt to ex-amine
certain rights of athletes,
contracts, coaching liability and
athlete supervision in context of
state laws, our Constitution and
several court cases which have been
presented across the country.
The French Department will also
be featuring a very unique oppor-tunity
for students this summer.
The Graduate Language Institute in
French at UNC-G will provide an
atmosphere where students will
speak nothing but French during
their stay at the Institute. Students
will be asked to pledge to only speak
French during the session and they
will all reside in the same campus
dorm. Students will eat together
and meet daily with French speak-ing
"monitors" which will reside in
the same dorm so they can attempt
to become fluent in French.
There are several other classes
being offered at UNC-G's Summer
Sessions. For more information and
an application pick up a copy of the

tion can be held?" Woods also com-mented
that "Student Government
has been blase about acting on this
problem...or investigating the
cause."
Corey Hudgins, one of the former
Vice-Presidential candidates,
eliminated any doubts about the vic-tor
in the election, Wendell Carter.
"We have a Vice-President that is
going to be strong. I think that
Wendell will do a good job. I plan
to be active in Senate next year,"
Hudgins said. Hudgins also com-mented
on the harassment, which
she made clear both candidates
received. "It's over...I think we
need to leave it alone. We need to
learn how to address racial issues in
a positive way."
The Current Concerns Commit-tee,
which had been asked to look
into having longer Soda Shoppe
hours, revealed its findings. Lorie
Tyson said officials said that
because of the time and money be-ing
spent on renovations of the
cafeteria it would be imposible to af-ford
to keep the Shoppe open
longer. The officials stated that
after the renovations are finished
they will try to extend the hours of
operation of the Soda Shoppe.
Buch Buchannan, spoke for the
Elections Board. He explained that
the second election for President
was needed because of the close
race between Davis Swaim and
Keith Woodard and because it was
contested. "It was contested on the
basis that Greg Fulton, who was
listed as a candidate, campaigned
for Wendell Carter," Buchannan
said.
Corey Hudgins, of the Appropria-tions
Board, explained that $1,355
was needed to help sponsor a ban-quet
or some other type of activity
that will involve S.G., all campus
organizations, and students that are
interested in finding out about
either the organizations or Student
Government. A motion was then
made and passed to appropriate
$1,500 for the activity. It will take
place sometime in April. Hudgins
stated that the event would not on-ly
give organizations exposure but
that would also serve as a "pat on
the back" for all of the organiza-tions,
including Student Govern-ment,
who have "all done an ex-cellent
job."
Chuck Murph, S.G. Vice-
President, urged all interested
students to attend the Presby
House Breakfast for campus
leaders at 8:15 a.m. on Thursday.

There ore eeveral "required
courses" at UNC-G. One of tkeee
courses ii Wettern CivUieation,
Why wot this course added to the
curriculum within the laet few
year,.'
Western Civilization was made a
part of UNC-G's school curriculum
in the fall of 1981. Since that time,
it has apread to several other
schools across the country.
According to Dr. Karl Schleunes,
Head of the Western Civilization
Department, Western Civilization
was added in response to what was
seen as an educational problem oc-curring
at several liberal arts col-leges
across the nation.
"This has become an age of
specialization ... sometimes this
specialization is very narrow, in
order to find a place in the working
world... he aaid.
During the 1970's, it has become
more apparent that specialization in
specific fields tended to give
students a very narrow-shaped
education; even if they were at a
liberal college where they were sup-posed
to be getting s broad educa-tion.
UNC-G aaw this problem and
recognized it. "Students were
graduating from college without
ever having heard of Plato or
Beethoven .. . colleges began to
see they were responsible for this,"
commented Schleunes.
"Graduating from a liberal arta
school without knowledge of past
culture would be like graduating
from Medical School without know-ing
what the shinbone was."
Schleunes, who worked on the
restructuring of the university's
curriculum agreed with others that
those who could not understand the
basic concepts of our past culture
would have a hard time understand-ing
the world as it is today. Thus,
Western Civilization was added to
the UNC-G curriculum so that
students could learn about past
Western Civilization culture and
heritage.
Almost all the schools are requir-ing
Western Civilization, including
the School of Business, according to
Schleunes. Several schools and
universities across the nation are
seeing this problem which is found
with such narrow-shaped educa
tions and they too are changing cur
riculuma in order to give atudents
an opportunity to team more about
their world arid culture, no matter
what field they plan to specialize in
after school.
EUC Council To
Sponsor Mini-Courses
By SANDY ALVIS
N.w. Katto
Elliott University Center Council
will sponsor a series of short, infor-mative
classes that they call mini-courses.
Registration for the classes is ten-tatively
set for March 15 and 18 in
Sharpe/Mclver Lounge of EUC.
Although no credit is given for the
courses, they will provide in-teresting
information and in some
cases new skills. The variety of
courses ranging from Interviewing
skills to Bartending have been
planned to interest a wide variety
of students.
The majority of instructors are
volunteers. Some of the instructors
simply want to share their
knowledge, while others such as a
distributor who exhibits the art of
wine tasting, can use this aa a
means of advertiaing.
EUC Council hopes to involve dif-ferent
campus organizations with
the courses. Many of the courses
relate to the basic ideas that some
organizations try to convey. For ex-ample,
people involved with Career
Planning and Placement (CPPC)
might be interested in courses on in-terviewing
and writing resumes.
Students who see life a little less
seriously may be interested in
classes such as Bartending, Wine
Tasting, Self-Hypnosis, Plastic
Modeling, and Therapeutic
Massage.
Students who like to be active
might enjoy courses on Fencing,
CPR, Self Defense and Modern
Dance. For those who aren't active
enough there will even be a course
on weight control.
Moat of the courses are an hour
long. There is no cost except for
materials which might be required
for courses like Plastic Modeling.
Flyers, Off The Wall, and a future
Carolinian article will give more
about these courses.
Woman ofMeans; and two books of
plays. He is often acknowledged as
a master of the short story, and The
New York Times has said, "He
comes as close as an American
writer can to rivaling Chekhov."
Recipient of a Guggenheim
Fellowship, a Fulbright Award (to
France), a Ford Fellowship (to
study theater in England), and the
National Academy Award for Fic-tion,
Mr. Taylor was elected to the
National Academy of Arts and Let-ters
in 1983.
Mr. Taylor has taught at UNC-G,
Harvard University, Kenyon Col-lege,
and the University of Virginia,
where he was Commonwealth Pro-fessor
of English from 1967 to
1983. He lives with his wife, the
poet Eleanor Ross Taylor, in
Charlottesville. Virginia.
Peter Taylor's reading is part of
the Spring 1984 visiting writers
series sponsored by the MFA
writing program at UNC-Greensboro.
Other visiting writers
reading in the series are poet Ann
Stanford (March 22) and novelist
and short story writer Allen Wier
(March 27).
