LXXXV ISSUE 4 EST. 1919 The Carolinian CAR0LIIAN0E1NE.COM ONC GREENSBORO , _V '3'3 \IO\D\VSI I'll Mill K \y 2(1114 Kerry bashes Bush, talks jobs at Greensboro forum The Carolinian Staff and wire reports (KRT) Senator John Kerry made a cam-paign stop in downtown Greensboro Tuesday, speaking to about 300 peo-ple at a forum in the restored Southern Railway Depot. The appearance included a stump speech in which Kerry attacked Bush on the economy, education and the war in Iraq before taking audience questions for about forty-five min-utes. Kerry opened with a jok«, intro-ducing himself as "John Edwards' running mate." But after a few jokes about grits and learning to say "ya'll" the Democratic presidential candidate got down to business - speaking to the economic concerns of out of work North Carolinians. "He said a lot to try to connect with North Carolinians." said Cameron McKinnon, a UNCG soph-omore who attended the forum. "Some people asked what he was going to do to bring jobs back to the state, and he had an answer for every-thing they asked." "Because of George Bush's wrong choices we're continuing to ship jobs overseas, jobs that have good wages and benefits," Kerry said during the forum. "That's W: wrong choices, wrong direction - and it's up to us to make it right." North Carolina has been hit hard by the loss of manufacturing jobs overseas in the last three years. Some areas that were once major boom-towns, such as Rockingham County, are now looking at unemployment rates of up to 10%. Continued on page 2 SHARON FARMER / KERRY-EDWARDS 2004. INC. Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry talks about his running mate, John Edwards, and his audience responds enthusiastically during a town hall meeting held in downtown Greensboro Wednesday morning. BROOKE KEMP / THE CAROLINIAN Former POW keynote speaker for Human Rights Awareness Week U.S. Army Specialist Shoshana Johnson captured the audience Tuesday with a speech full of humor and inspiring bravery. Amanda Carl Staff Writer Imagine that you are miles away from home, in a land stricken by war. Your convoy is ambushed and you are not only shot, but captured by the enemy. You are then taken to a remote location and thrown in a jail cell, left alone, terrified for your life. For most, such a scene is hard to pic-ture, but for Shoshana Johnson, the scene is all too familiar. On Tuesday, September 7, 2004, Johnson, former Iraqi Prisoner of War and Food Service Specialist for the United States Army spoke to a full house at the Aycock Auditorium. She discussed her life experiences leading up to and including the time she spent in Kuwait and Iraq, specif-ically describing her twenty-two days as a POW last March. Johnson who was wounded in both legs and faced possible life-threaten-ing infections, was brought to cam-pus by the Multicultural Affairs Office in an effort, according to Dr. Carol Disque Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, to serve as a "catalyst to help us think about human dignity, wholeness, caring, and service." Johnson's speech served as the Keynote Address for the Office of Multicultural Affairs Observance of Human Rights Week. Johnson, while maintaining her humor throughout the speech, touched on some very serious issues. She described the images she saw and the pain she felt with honesty and conviction. Exemplifying OMA's goal of teaching students about human digni-ty and caring, Johnson ironically dis-cussed the kindness she was shown by her captors. "They took care of my wounds and even supplied me with antibiotics," she explained. "They demonstrated what true humanity is and I am grate-ful to them for the fact that I am alive today." Johnson further discussed her life now a year after her capture. "I have my good days and my bad days," she said. "I still have night-mares, but I remember those who fought and died before me. I remem-ber their bravery and sacrifice, and I know that what happened has made me a better person." Following Johnson's moving speech, a forum was opened for any questions the audience had regarding Johnson's experiences. Many stu-dents took advantage of the limited time including former soldier and Shoshana Johnson (above) jokes about growing up and "looking cute" to speak to UNCG students. Junior Latonya Smith (below, left), after being called on by junior Janice Hernandez (below, right), asked Johnson about how she prepared for going into active duty overseas during the question and answer period following the speech. UNCG sophomore Sardie Izzard. "I just found it so ironic how Johnson expressed the niceness of the Iraqis and I could definitely relate to her military mentality," Izzard explained. "I was really amazed." Specialist Johnson graciously answered questions and listened intently to comments from the audi-ence for 20 minutes prior to the event's closing. Johnson's words left lasting impressions on UNCG students and community members alike. "I was so moved by her words. I was literally holding back tears," an inspired Jodi Deaton, UNCG junior BROOKE KEMP / THE CAROLINIAN commented after the address. Agreeing with Deaton, Freshman Cecilia Hughes added, "I admire Johnson. Her speech was so interest-ing; It was much better than any his-tory class I will ever take." Johnson's words not only helped promote the OMA's goals to promote human rights, but also served as a reminder to students. She helped stu-dents realize the power of kindness, the necessity of humor, and the importance of remembering those who passed before us. Continued on page 2 UNCG frats return to campus, join sororities on quad Jeanna Covington Staff Writer The Greek system on campus was established in the 1980s but only now are fraternities and sororities simultaneously occupying the resi-dence halls. In 1990, the sororities of the Panhellenic Council (PHC), an umbrella group of historically white (now integrated) sororities and female fraternities, were invited to reside on campus. Since then, there has been a presence of five sororities living in Cone Residence Hall. Last Fall however, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Phi Mu and Sigma Sigma Sigma were relocated to Jamison and Coit Residence Halls. There were several reasons for the move. "The sororities, Office of Student Life and Housing and Residence Life felt there were advantages to moving the sororities from Cone to Jamison. The Quad is centrally located and has larger rooms and the sororities want-ed to have their own space. The floors in Cone are larger than those in the quad and to fill the floor we would have to place non-Greek stu-dents on the hall," stated Guy Sanders, Associate Director for Resident Services of the Office of Housing and Residence Life. This year, the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC), an umbrella group historically made up of national white fraternities that are now inte-grated, has taken the opportunity to join the PHC in having Greek hous-ing on university grounds. Kappa Delta Rho, Lambda Chi Alpha, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Nu and Sigma Phi Epsilon were invited on to campus last year and are currently residing in Bailey Residence Hall. Three floors are divided into space for the five fra-ternities. There are non-Greeks who also make up the residents of the hall, however, they will be replaced after IFC recruitment is complete The IFC are new to Greek hous-ing, so to aid in the transition, OSL employed House Managers, a new position of Housing and Residence Life. "The House Manager position is an offshoot of a CA but is also a member of each chapter. Each chap-ter is responsible for selecting the House Manager," stated Justin Williams, Coordinator for Residential Learning in the Quad. Continued on page 2 ■■ MMMHM
