NBS - Something For Everyone
By THERESA J. CARROLL
Staff WrtUr
The Neo-Blsck Society (NBS)
started in the early 70'B and was
originally just a social and support
organization for blacks on our cam-pus.
At that time, the group was
closely tied to North Carolina A&T
State University and to the
Greensboro black community. Since
then, membership has grown along
with its purpose. NBS continues to
provide a place for blacks to get
together. It has loosened its ties
with the Greensboro community in
order to concern itself with becom-ing
a vital part of campus life at
UNC-G.
"Our bask thrust has to do with
getting the black culture into the
campus community," sayd NBS
President, WUlaton Burns. "The
organization has been misconceived
for a long time. We've been told
that we're racists and separatists.
There seems to be an overall total
rorance of why there is NBS on
part of both white and black
students. We're primarily here for
blacks, that's our biggest thing, out
we would like to have s campus-wide
EFFECT. We want to know
what NBS can do for other
students."
NBS hopes to find ways of
answering this by becoming active
parts of other campus groups. Many
of its members are currently involv-ed
in organixations ranging from
EUC council and Student Govern-ment
to the Greeks. They also have
many different programs
throughout the year to suit various
types of campus needs. Programs

students to exchange campaign
experiences and compare their ex-periences
with what they expected

Senate Appropriates Money
By SANDY ALVIS
New. EaHw
Buck Buchanan of the Elections
Board reported that Davis Swaim
had resigned his candidacy and
would not be in the runoff. Lorie
Tyson and Keith Woodard will com-pete
in a runoff on Tuesday March
20 and Wednesday March 21.
Voting will be conducted in the din-ing
hall and EUC from 9 a.m. until
6 p.m. Swaim says that he resigned
because he's taking a heavy load
of courses next year and doesn't
feel that he would have enough time
to properly fulfill his duties. "It
wouldn't be fair to the students
because I don't think that I would
be able to do a good job," Swaim
says.
Senate appropriated $240.00 to
the North Carolina Student
Legislature (NCSL) to subsidise
their meals while they attend Ses-sion
in Raleigh. Nine members will
participate in Session next week.
Session is a meeting where dif-ferent
chapters in the state meet to
debate on a variety of bills. Th
$240.00 will provide approximate-ly
$2.46 a day for each member to
help with meal expenses.
Student Escort Service received
$5799.23 to pay for operational ex-penses
until Hay. They had original-ly
asked for $6,461.90. Senate ex-amined
the proposed budget and
reduced the sum mainly by
eliminating office hours which cost
$134.00 for three months. Chuck
Murph, Student Government Vice-
President, commented that SES
members could do the work usually
reserved for office hours when they
are not busy.
The International Studenta
Association requested the sum of
$2902.80. But their budget was
reduced to $1470.00. The money
will be used for projects, publicity,
and office supplies.
In other business, the Legislative
Committee gave a report of what it
has been working on during the
past few months. They are planning

Rapunzel and the Witch
To Be Presented In Taylor
"Rapunzel and the Witch." the
children's fairy tale, will be per-formed
at 2:16 p.m. on Saturday
and Sunday, March 1718, in Taylor
Building at UNC-G as the final
season offering by the Theatre for
Young People.
Directed by UNC-G drama
graduate student Melenda Pomykal
of Troy, Texas, the production will
be touring the state during the
spring. All of the actors in the show
are professionals and are under con-tract
with the North Carolina
Theatre for Young People, the new-ly
renamed outreach program of
UNC-G's theatre division.
Tickets for "Rapunzel and the
Witch" are available at $2.50 each
by calling the Taylor Building box
office at 3/9-5575 weekdays from
1:30-5:30 p.m.
The play follows closely the plot
of the Grimm's fairy tale, accoming
to Ms. Pomykal. Rapunzel is seized
by the witch as payment for some
radishes which the father had stolen
for his expectant wife. Being rais-ed
to become a witch, Rapunzel re-tains
enough human instincts to
resist the witch's spells ami is
banished to a tower in punishment.
A handsome prince happens upon
the tower but, in trying to rescue
Rapunzel, he falls under the witch's
spell. It requires great courage for
Rapunzel to gain possession of the
witch's magic chain and find the
spell that will reduce her to a
withered tree.
region. The Administration propos-ed
$93 million in military aid to El
Salvador alone, which according to
officials, is deparately needed to in-sure
democratic elections in that
country scheduled for March 25.
Many Congresspersons objected to
the tactic of attaching the military
allocations to s Congressional bill
providing humanitarian aid to
Africans facing starvation. In a
similar measure, money for the
"covert" war against Nicaragua
was attached to a bill subsidizing
heating fuel for poor Americans.
The Reagan Administration also
announced that 2,000 U.S. troops
are being positioned on the
Honduran-Nicaraguan border,
reportedly to deter Nicaragua from
interfering with the Salvadoran
election. In Nicaragua, the San-dinista
leaders announced elections
scheduled for 1985 will now be held
on November 4, 1964, two days
before the presidential election in
the U.S. The lack of promised elec-tions
in Nicaragua has been one of
the major criticisms of the San-dinistas
by the Resgan
Administration.
In other recent developments, the
LA. Time*- Washington Post New
Service reported that U.S. Army
pilots are flying observation mis-sions
over rebel-held territory in El
Salvador to stop guerilla units for
the Salvadoran army. Pentagon of-ficials
said that since the pilots and
crewmen of the Mohawk observs-tion
planes are based in Honduras,
they are not affected by the official
limited of 56 U.S. military trainers
in El Salvador. Several weeks ago
the Washington Post reported that
Armando Rodriguez, current presi-dent
to the Central Elections Coun-cil
said that more than 25 percent
of the ballots cast in El Salvador's
election two years ago were false.
The Sew York Tims* recently
published an interview with an
unidentified top official of the
Salvadoran government who claim-ed
that Robert D'Aubuisson, the
presidential candidate of the
ARENA party directs Salvadoran
right-wing death squads and
ordered the assassination of Ar-chbishop
Oscar Romero in 1980.
Another Washington Poet story
reported that the leaders of eleven
Protestant church denominations
have urged Congress to repudiate
U.S. policy in Central America, to
call lor negotiated settlement of
armed conflicts and to veto further
military aid to the region.
In the midst of escalating con-flicts
in Central America, next week
is International Week of Solidarity
with the Centra] American People
and SCCA is sponsoring several
evening activities on campus. Mon-day
at 7:30 p.m. there will be a
"Vigil for Non-intervention in Cen-tral
America" In front of Aycock
Auditorium. Organized by the
Carolina Inter-Faith Taskforce, the
vigil will precede the lecture by
Randall Forsberg entitled "A Call
to Halt the Nuclear Arms Race."
An Ecumenical Memorial Service
for Archbishop Oscar Romero will
be conducted Tuesday evening at
St. Mary's House on Walker
Avenue. Ministers and laypeople
from several denominations, in-cluding
Roman Catholics, Baptists,
Methodists, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians and Quakers will par-ticipate.
Archbishop Oscar Romero,
who urged President Carter to halt
military aid to the Salvadoran
military government, was
murdered by a right-wing death
squad while performing mass on
March 24. 1980.
Following the service, Richard
McGough of Chapel Hill will speak
on "The Plight of Salvadoran
Refugees in North Carolina." The
memorial service begins at 7:30
p.m. and the lecture at 8:15.
Thursday Homer Yost will give a
*lide show called "Ambassadors of
esce: U.S. Volunteers in
Nicaragua." Yost, a graduate stu-dent
in the Art Department at
UNC-G and coordinator of SCCA,
spent the month of January work-ing
and traveling in Nicaragua. The
slide show begins at 7 p.m. in Sharp
Lounge of EUC.
"Testimonial Poetry of the
Americas: An Evening Dedicated to
Victor Jara" will be held Friday at
St. Mary House at 7:30 p.m.
Readings will feature, among
others, Professor Ramiro Lagos of
the Spanish Department and Pro-fessor
Charles Tisdale of the
English Department. Also included
will be music by Gil Fray and
Melanie Feinstein of the Dance
Department. Latin food will served.
