Senate Endorses Extension Of EUC Hours ByTIMMARONEY SUff Writer The Student Senate Tuesday night unanimously (tedded lu ac-cept a proposal from Brian Berkley, SO President, that $294 be allocated to extend the hours of EUC. A similar action was taken last semester; Berkley referred to it as "a smashing success." In af-firmative debate, Senator Eric Todd pointed out that Senate had recently approved over $400 for the Valentine's Dance's cham-pagne, and claimed that there could be no justification for refusing to spend $294 on a project to help students study. EUC will be open until 1:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday, star-ting on Monday, February 15. The extended hours will last until Reading Day, May 5. Parts of EUC to remain open include Alderman Lounge, Joyner Lounge, the Robot Room, and their lobby areas. A resolution encouraging passage of the Equal Right Amen-dment, s|K>nsored by Berkley and four others, was put before the Senate. It reads in part, "Be it resolved that the Student Senau, representing 9,887 studen-ts,... strongly endorses and suppor-ts the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment." Senator Jay Sin-clair voiced objection to con-sideration of the proposal, but failed to achieve the two-thirds majority required to prevent its consideration. Sinclair then moved that discussion of the proposal be indefinitely postponed, starting, "First, what I am concerned about is us dealing with something highly controversial...We would be saying that our entire constituency is in favor of ERA." He went on, "Second, it does not mainly con-cern the students. We should not even be considering this type of issue." Sinclair's motion to table the proposal indefinitely passed by a 2- 1 margin. No discussion of the proposal will be allowed on the floor unless a motion to reconsider passes by a two-thirds majority at some future date. Asked his reac-tion to Senate's decision, Berkley said only, "I am disappointed." New town student senators were sworn in. Vice President Diedra Smith welcomed the new senators with a brief speech, warning that, "the job which you are now under-taking is in no way simple. It is a job where you will be criticized and laughed at by your peers and others." She added, "We've been through some hard times, trying times, but I see the light at (he end of the tunnel, and things are looking brighter every day." Kelley Baldwin of the Social Con-cerns and Activities Committee discussed plans for Spring Fling. The main topic was beer. Ten kegs are scheduled for each of Saturday and Sunday, twenty in all. A bid of $780 was received for Schlitz, and a bid of $750 was received from Old Milwaukee, no other bids have l>een received. Although final ap-proval must come from the Spring Fling Committee, Senate decided to allocate $780 for beer. Plans for Spring Fling Parade were touched on. Monday is the deadline for organizational Kroposals for the parade, and none id yet been received. Robert Sherrill presented ten-tative plans for a Muscular Dystrophy Association fund raiser. The event, called a Super-dance, would be a dance marathon to raise money for MDA Local bands and EllC's D.I equipment would be called on to provide music, and Anheuser-Busch would supply free beer in return for publicity. All participants would receive a Superdanee T-shirt; in addition, prizes would be awarded to the couples who secure the most pledges and who last longest. A Superdance at Guilford College last year raised $ 16,000. Jay Sin-clair moved that Senate help spon-sor the event, and the Senate con-sented. No firm plans have been made. Learning Unlimited Mini-Courses Offered UNC-G Master Science Program Program Receives National Accreditation The Master of Library Science degree program at UNC-G has received full accreditation from the American Library Association. The program, which is offered in UNC-G s School of Education, was the only program considered in 1981 for first-time accreditation by the association, according to a spokesman for the organization. Eleven others were considered for reaccreditation. Approval was granted to the UNC-G program for the maximum period of seven years. "Getting this accreditation is a tribute to the faculty and to the university, as well," said Dr. David H. Re illy, dean of the School of Education. "We started working on it in the mid-1970s and we're delighted to have it." The American Library Association (ALA) has more than 34,000 individual members in the United States and Canada. It is the largest professional organization in North America for librarians, libraries and library-training programs. "Most jobs in library fields, bet-ween 60 and 70 percent, require degrees from ALA-certified Srograms," said Dr. Keith C. 'right, who heads the Depar-tment of Library Science and Educational Technology in UNC-G's School of Education. "It (the accreditation) means that our graduate students who complete the program now have the flexibility and mobility to seek library jobs around the country," Wright said. "The ALA cer-tification is accepted nationwide." Approximately 400 library programs are in operation within the United States, but only 70 or so have ALA accreditation, accor-ding to Dr. Wright. Other North Carolina programs which are ALA-approved are those at UNC-Chapel Hill and at N.C. Central University in Durham. The four areas in which the MLS degree at UNC-G concentrates are: school media and library work, public library work, com-munity college work in the area of learning resources, and preparation of persons who are going into professional and business library employment. There are currently between 80 and 90 majors seeking the degree at UNC-G. To receive the accreditation, the department had to undergo a year-long self-study evaluation. After reviewing the study, an ac-creditation team from ALA visited the School of Education last fall to review the program. Among the items the team con-sidered were: faculty resources, curriculum, student majors, ad-ministrative and financial support, and computer and library resour-ces. Special to Tke < .r-l.ni.n Registration for Learning Unlimited mini-courses will be held next Wednesday and Thursday, February 17 and 18 in the Cone Ballroom Lobby of Elliott Center. UNC-G students, staff, faculty and families will have the opportunity to sign up for any of over 20 short courses taught by volunteers from the campus and Greenboro com-munities. LU '82 courses are short, fun, inexpensive and, in most cases, free. The schedule of offerings will include the following: Theraputic Massage, Self-Hypnosis, CPR Guitar, Photography Basics, Stocks and other Investments, Sign Language, Resume Preparation, Interviewing Workshop, Assertiveness Training, The Films of Stanley Kubrick, Intro to Emergency Medical Services, Karate and Self- Defense Techniques, Home Beer- Making, Study Skills Workshop, Intro to Ceramics, Water Safety Instruction, Backpacking, and Dance Instruction. All courses are scheduled to begin the week of Feb. 22. Now in its third year, learning Unlimited has experienced a phenomenal acceptance at UNC-G . In each of its first two years, students registered for mini-courses in such numbers that most courses were closed out by noon of the first day of registration. Interested students are urged to register as early as possible on Feb. 17 to be sure to reserve a place in the courses they want. The LU '82 committee, compos-ed of Beverley Smith, Lorrie Williams, Rebecca Smith and Bruce Harshbarger, have put together the largest offering of mini-courses in LU's history. More courses will likely be added before the Feb. 17-18 signups. For more information on Lear-ning Unlimited mini-courses, con-tact Bruce Harshbarger in EUC at 379-5800. "TW MM of Stanley Kubrick" — one of EUC'a Learning Unlimited mini-courses. Racism And The Church Discussed By DEBORAH E. DAVIS "Racism and the Church in the '80's" was the topic of the speech delivered by the Rev. Joseph Pelham last Monday and Tuesday in St. Mary's House. Pelham, director of the Episcopal City Mission of the Diocese of Massachusetts, spoke in conjun-ction with the Fifth Annual Smythe Lectures. Pelham began by noting the changes in the views toward racism among the American people over the last few decades. "Racism was...put on the defen-sive during the ...50'sand60's, but (it) is now very much on the offen-sive, aided and abetted by National Policy at the highest levels." He went on to comment on racism within the Church. "(Racism is) supported by slick, sophisticated and increasingly powerful forms of theologically and politically reactionary Christianity." This is one reason Pelham tags racism as "a more critical issue now than at any other time in my life..." Reverse discrimination is a much argued issue, especially within the court system. "Those who argue the issue...in the courts should realize that as they do so, they free the Klan to argue...(it) in the streets." The question of why discrimination is on the rise was met with four responses. "The first reason was the absen-ce, or the vanishing, of any organized movement for racical justice in the white community. The Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's did not collapse because its major objectives had been accomplished. "The second response 1 give is the inability of the Church, I hasten to say...primarily the white Church...to engage in sustained struggle-struggle over issues of justice. The Church, at least in the United States...has tended to flip from issue to issue... "The third reason is the collapse of the social contract, i.e. consen-sus,... which we had achieved in society as to the nature of the obligation we have to one another and the way in which that obligation is met... What we are facing now is the national posture, which suggests that the chief role of the government is not (that of) meeting the needs of persons, but perhaps., .military defense.. "Finally, the rise of the women's movement, I mean the white, mid-dle- class women's movement, has drained off some of the energies for reform and change in our society which were addressed to issues of racial injustice in the 1950'sand 1940's." News Briefs Contraceptive Health Education Counseling (CHEC) will begin on Wednesday, February 17, at 7:00 p.m. at the Student Health Center, Gray Drive. CHEC will offer infor-mation to help make important decisions in the area of con-traception. Discussion will be informal.
