The Carolinian Thursday, October 8, 1987 Volume 67, Number 7 The Sociopaths gave it their all outside of Guilford dorm Saturday. The Sociopaths, all UNCG students, are Britt Snooze) Uzzell, Bill Greene, and Mike Fowler.

"AWi^rU!" responded over 200 voices, completing the South African freedom cry. Then the leader, a Namibian student at NC State, translated the chant so it could be understood fully by the curious onlookers around the North Carolina State Capitol: "POWER!" "TO THE PEOPLE!" came the hearty response from the marchers as they approached the Capitol Building. The first Statewide March for Peace and Justice in Central America and Southern Africa was a time of celebration for the roughly 250 students and community activists who marched on Oct. 3 from St. Augustine's College to the Capitol Building in Raleigh. Just two days earlier the news had broken in Chapel Hill; after over two years of extensive student protest, including civil disobedience and building shanty-towns on campus, the UNCCH board of trustees, following the lead of UNC Greensboro, had voted to divest University assets from com-panies with holdings in South Africa. Despite the crowd's jubilation, some UNCCH activists reported that their divestment work was far from being com-pleted. Dale McKinley, a graduate student in Political Science at UNCCH and one of the march's organizers, asserted that the board's promise of total divestment was inaccurate.

New informa-tion, however, has come to light that leaves the future of the fraternity still in doubt. Various members of the local chapter and Cerrito have met twice since last Thursday, when an article dealing with problems inside the fraternity was published in The Caroli-nian. These meetings con-stitute the first time the fraternity has met this academic year. According to Cerrito, a third meeting, scheduled for this evening, will be held to decide the fate of the flounder-ing fraternity. "I am happy to say that, in our meetings, we were able to find some common ground. The brothers are now in the process of deliberating about whether the group should con-sider recolonizing or pro-ceeding as things are now. The important thing is that the communication channels are finally open," said the local chapter president. Cerrito went on to retract two allegations made early last week regarding activities surrounding the chartering of the local chapter. At that time, Cerrito charged that the group forged the signatures of two members to satisfy na-tional fraternity requirements. However in a conversa-tion of Tuesday evening stated, "I have been informed that the two members in ques-tion were to have been sworn in as brothers by the Beta Beta chapter at N.C. State University, so the places for their signatures were left blank, for several months. I have been informed that this was done with the permission of the national organization. Additionally, I was under the impression that borrowing money from outside sources to satisfy opening fraternity debts was against organiza-tion regulations. I have been informed that this is not the case." Sec TKE p. 2 Plan needed to benefit poor By CLINTON HUGHES "One thing we must remember is that the poor have suffered most from war in Central America, and that no matter what elites decide to do, the demand for peace will percolate up from the bot-tom of society." These were the words of Jim Stephens, a field representative for the American Friends Service Committee in El Salvador, who spoke with a group of eight UNCG students and staff in Mary Foust Hall last Thursday afternoon. Stephens gave a historical overview of the Arias Peace Plan, sign-ed by all five Central American presidents on August 3. He stressed the need for us as North Americans to look at the pro-spect of peace through Latin American eyes, especially through the eyes of the poor majority. "After all they've suffered, the poor won't accept a peace plan that will benefit only the elites. For example, since 1980 in El Salvador there have been sixty-five thousand people killed and one out of five people have been displac-ed. The majority want a peace which provides housing, health, education and employ-ment to bring their lives to a level of decency." But Stephens was quick to See PEACE p. 6 Representatives of the Gordon Highlanders and Grenadier Guards show off their marching skills to pass-ing students.
