Clinton chooses Greensboro native •Erskine Bowles fills the position of chief of staff Paula Nelson News Editor President Clinton has chosen a Greensboro native as his new chief of staff. With the election barely over, Clinton announced Friday that Erskine Bowles, who was raised in Greensboro and at-tended UNC-Chapel Hill, will replace Leon Panetta as the President's right hand man. The chief of staff works closely with the President, involved in all aspects of advising and White House Staff coordination. Ac-cording to the Greensboro News and Record, the position requires 15- and 16-hour days, including appearances on "Meet the Press" and other Sunday news programs. Bowles, the 51 -year-old son of popular Guilford County legisla-tor Hargrove "Skipper" Bowles, Jr., is no stranger to the Clinton Administration. He was ap-pointed head of Clinton's Small Business Administration in 1993, where he provided day-to-day leadership in development and implementation of policy, and de-livery of financial and business development programs by the agency's employees in about 100 offices nationwide. After winning praise for his leadership in the area of small business, Bowles was named deputy chief of staff by Clinton in the hopes that he could bring some order to the White House Staff, and he was credited with stream-lining White House operations. Bowles resigned from the position last January, in order to pay more attention to personal career inter-ests and his family, which includes his wife, Crandall, and three col-lege- age children. However, Bowles returned to the political arena during this year's campaign. helping Clinton prepare for the debates. This involvement stemmed from career as well as personal interest in the president's bid for re-election—Crandall Bowles is a close friend of Hillary Clinton's and the families have known each other for years. Erskine Bowles attended grade school in Greensboro, and re-ceived an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He obtained a master's degree in Business ad-ministration from Columbia's Graduate School of Business. Third time: A charm for Faculty Senate Army documents alledge threats resulted from abuse Sheryl Stolberg Times/Post News Service WASHINGTON—Two drill ser-geants who are at the center of a sex-abuse investigation at an Army training school threatened their victims, according to newly released documents, with one tell-ing a young female recruit: "If anyone finds out about me having sex with you, I'll kill you." He reportedly warned another recruit: "I'm going to knock your teeth out and get away with it." The threats were disclosed Sun-day in 14 pages of partially blacked-out legal papers released by officials at the Army's Aber-deen Proving Ground. They offer the first detailed ac-counting of allegations of rape, sodomy and other sexual mis-deeds that have washed over this 94-year-old school. And while Aberdeen's top brass have promised to get to the bot-tom of the reported incidents at their post. Army Secretary Togo West vowed to answer a larger question: Does the situation at Aberdeen reflect a broad pattern of sexual harassment that exists wherever young soldiers are trained? "That question is of importance to us," West said on CNN's "Late Edition" on Sunday, "so we're going to look at every training fa-cility across the Army's training and doctrine command. ... There is enough concern on our part that we should look and see." So far, 20 soldiers at the Aber-deen Ordnance Center and School have been suspended. Three men-a captain and two drill sergeants-face military criminal charges; the military "charge sheets" released Sunday describe those criminal counts. At worst, they paint a por-trait of a post at which a number of young Army women-fresh out of boot camp and ready for mili-tary career training-were raped or sodomized by their superiors and then instructed to keep quiet. At minimum, they detail an at-mosphere in which a cardinal rule-the ban against "fraternization" between soldiers of different ranks-was repeatedly violated. One sergeant is accused of hav-ing consensual sex with seven re-cruits. Another reportedly had a relationship with a student, then asked her to write his research paper for a noncommissioned of-ficer course he was taking. "The fact that this has happened is an embarrassment to our corps within the Army," said Lt. Col. Johnnie Allen, the deputy com-mander of the Ordnance Center and School. "We know that this is not a good-news story ... but I'm not willing to throw in the towel. We have a very proud corps and a very proud tradition." The most egregious accusations at Aberdeen have been levied against Sgt. Delmar G. Simpson, who arrived at the base in 1995. In addition to allegedly engaging in consensual sex with seven women, Simpson is accused of nine counts of rape involving three recruits. One of his victims, the Army alleges, was raped five times. Deanna McDonald News Editor A bountiful round of applause filled the Virginia Dare Room Wednesday after UNCG Faculty Senate members voted to pass a resolution for the adoption of the University's first statement of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. The resolution was tossed around during three separate Fac-ulty Senate meetings before being passed. In the course of that time, the resolution's opposition slowly yielded to readjusted wording and details of the final statement. Dr. Jim Carmichael, of the De-partment of Library and Informa-tion Studies, provided the final re-vision of the statement. He was one of three speakers who presented final appeals to fac-ulty senators in an effort to push the proposal through. Carmichael urged the commit-tee to support "UNCG as a leader in sensitivity to human rights" by passing the resolution. Joy Smith, a junior at UNCG, arose from the gallery to present a student petition that contained over 1,000 signatures in support of the resolution. According to Smith, making a stand for the statement would send a message to the state and com-munity that UNCG supports its students and protects all rights. She reminded the audience that sexual orientation includes hetero-sexuality as well as homosexual-ity and bisexuality. By the third meeting at which the issue was discussed, Univer-sity Attorney Skip Capone gave his full endorsement of the reso-lution for nondiscrimination. Originally, Capone was con-cerned with legal complications that could befall due to vague wording and technicalities. When addressing senators, he acknowledged the statement as a milestone, although, he noted, "it remains to be seen what will hap-pen, whether it is misused or ben-eficial." "This is not an entirely risk-free approach," Capone said, "but the benefits outweigh the risks." The passed statement contains two paragraphs expressing the University's intolerance of dis-crimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In the first paragraph, UNCG "pledges to students, pro-spective students, faculty, staff and the public that it will defend plu-ralism ... without regard to sexual orientation." The term "sexual orientation" is not clearly defined, although the paragraph relays a message of emphasis on academic and per-sonal growth despite personal preference. In the next paragraph, those "who believe they have been treated unfairly on the basis of sexual orientation" are directed to the proper channels, so the matter can be handled effectively. Also included in the resolution is the request to publish the state-ment in a number of UNCG pub-lications, including the Under-graduate and Graduate Bulletins, Student Handbook and Faculty Handbooks, as well as the school's internet home page. The new written documentation appears to be a victorious step for gay and lesbian rights, although some students feel it is not enough. One student expressed concern about the impact of the statement: "Just because it's written does not mean that people's attitudes will change. This may rum out to be a controversial issue before it is a definite change on the books." The student continued by stating, "We can only hope that the University will stand behind it's word on this issue if it is finalized." The statement of nondiscrimi-nation on the basis of sexual ori-entation was created by UNCG undergraduate Jessica Stine. After being revised a number of times, the resolution was split into two different statements, one for re-view by Student Government and the other for review by Faculty Senate. Even though both proposals were passed, there has been no official verification that either statement will be adopted by the University. Stine feels that if a fi-nal decision is made to reject the statement, it may be because two different statements exist and therefore cloud the true interpre-tational value. "We definitely have taken a good step," said Stine. "It was well worth it; it brought the University together on an issue." In addition, she hopes that a final, approved statement will be one that func-tions. Since approved by Faculty Sen-ate and Student Government, both proposed statements for UNCG now must meet approval of the Chancellor. Currently, eleven North Caro-lina universities have adopted similar statements of nondiscrimi-nation on the basis of sexual ori-entation. Registrar and Parking Services work together for solution • Evening parking hours extended to help relieve parking jams Natalie Watson Senior News Writer When UNCG students received registration materials recently for the 1997 spring semester, they noticed that more classes were being offered between the hours of 1p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Due to a combined effort from the Parking Services Office and the Registrar's Office, more classes are being offered during the night and evening, to cut down on heavy parking congestion dur-ing the very busy morning hours. Weather Outlook luesday: Partly Cloudy High in upper 40's Low in the mid 20's Wednesday: Cloudy High 45 to 50 Source: Nation*! Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Geoffrey Gartncr/THE CAROLINIAN Cara, such as the ones above, have forced Parking Services and the Registrar's offices to extend evening parking hours. The evening parking hours were extended from 4p.m.-7:30p.m. to lp.m. to 7:30p.m to allow students the opportunity to purchase a cheaper parking permit during the times when there is not such a high demand for spaces. Starting in January, students can return their original parking per-mit, purchase an evening permit, and be refunded the difference. The evening permit is half the cost of a regular C permit. Director of Parking Services, Ken Honeycutt, hopes that the availability of more evening classes will encourage students to consider taking more night classes to help alleviate congestion. " We are hoping that more evening classes, and the added bonus of a cheaper permit will allow students to take advantage of the program." According to the UNCG Office of Information Services, over 400 courses covering 50 areas of study will be offered in the evening. The increased number, up from 320 last year, not only will allevi-ate parking problems but will ac-commodate the schedules for stu-dents for whom evening classes are more convenient. "The University is offering ad-ditional courses in the late after-noon to help students who have daytime commitments and to ease the parking crunch during the day," said UNCG Provost Edward Uprichard." We want to be responsive to the educational needs of our students and to make this campus as acces-sible as possible. We welcome their interest and invite them to take advantage of our rich and varied evening sched-ule." During registration, letters were mailed to students and cards ad-vertising the new program were put on vehicles. The parking program will only be available next semester to help in congestion and will not be of-fered after completion of the Mclver parking deck. Any downsides to the program? Well, students who work at night and those whose classes are not offered at night are kind of left with little options." I have a job at night and really no opportunity to take night classes, but I think it is a good idea because trying to park between 9 and 11 is terrible," says Junior Treshonda Tucker. mamm BHBaana■■■MaMHM
