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.

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."
