Skelton Jokes Across Campus
Bv SANDY ALVIS
8U1Y Writer
Red Skelton graced our campus
yesterday, brightening everyone's
day with a joke and his silly grin.
Mr Skelton started his day at
UNC-G by speaking to a drama ap-preciation
class at Taylor theatre.
He gave the aspiring actors and ac-tresses
showbusiness tips and talk-ed
about many of his own ex-periences.
He told them that one of
the most important things that they
could do would be to study contract
law and to "know what you're sign-ing"
in order to keep from being
cheated by others. Afterward, he
signed autographs and talked with
students.
Mr. Skelton speaks from years of
experience and through a delightful
covering of humor shows genuine
concern for others. He began his
show business career at the tender
age of five when he left home for
the adventure and excitement of
Vaudeville.
Most of us can remember wat-ching
Red Skelton's antics on televi-sion
when we were younger. We
can now look forward to seeing
OOPS!!
In the Tuesday, April 26 edition
of the Carolinian, there were
several errors in the article on
UNC-G's victory in last weekend's
DIAC Conference Tournament.
The players listed as All-
Tournament: Brenda Suits, Angela
Riddle, Cindy Nuckols, and Brenda
Tolbert, were not All-Tournament
selections. Instead they were All-
Conference selections.
Cindy Nuckols and Brenda
Tolbert were the UNC-G represen-titives
on the All-Tournament team.
It was Brenda Tolbert, not Bren-da
Suits who was named as tourna-ment
MVP.
Gamma
Sigma
Donates To
Prospectus
By DGWEY WHITAKER
Ntwi Editor
Prospectus III, the UNC-G drive
to obtain 12 million dollars in funds
for the University, received a check
for $100.00 from Gamma Sigma
Sigma and made it the first student
organization to contribute to this
fund.
Sandra Hunter, President of the
service sorority for 1983-84, hand-ed
the check to Dean Patterson of
the Alumni House yesterday in the
basement of that house.
"This is significant because it
came from students," said Dr. Pat-terson.
"The whole purpose of Pro-spectus
III is to help the students,"
he added.
The members of Gamma Sigma
Sigma raised the money for the
campaign by making ID's for cam-pus
security during the fall. Trudy
Reavis. a member of Gamma Sig,
said that they wanted to help the
university, and wanted to en-courage
other fraternities and
sororities to do the same thing.
"Gamma Sigma Sigma wanted to
leave it's mark on the university
since we are a sorority. As a sorori-ty
we wanted to do something for
the school," said Reavis. "We
challenge other campus organiza-tions
to meet or beat our
contribution."
She added that sister Dalphene
Crowder suggested the idea for the
contribution to Prospectus III.
these re-runs which will soon be
returning to television. During his
lecture, if such an entertaining talk
can be called a lecture, he express-ed
his opinion of television. He
believes that television puts too
much time and emphasis on the bad
side of life. He hopes that his show
will add some light-hearted enter-tainment
to television and make it
a "family-hearth" where the whole
family can gather and laugh
together.
Much of Mr. Skelton's appeal
comes from his understanding and
concern for the everyday, common
people. He achieves this "down to
earth" view by observing people in
different places and situations.
Later yesterday afternoon Mr.
Skelton returned to UNC-G to at-tend
Prospectus III at the Alumni
House. While walking across cam-pus
to get to the Alumni House he
signed autographs, posed for pic-tures
and never stopped telling
jokes to anyone who cared to listen.
He spoke to everyone he piet and
seemed interested in talking to the
students. He was constantly com-plimented
and generally madea-fuss-
over by everyone he met and
he just seemed grateful, never con-ceited
or harrassed.
When asked, as he probably has
been many times before, what his
favorite joke is he merely smiled
and said, "I haven't done it yet."
Mr. Skelton is visiting the campus
in honor of EUC's 30th anniver-sary.
He will be appearing at the
Student Leader's Activities ban-quet
on Thursday night.
UNC-G students will be able to
purchase tickets to his concert on
Friday night for two dollars less
that the selling price. If you haven't
already bought tickets for the con-cert
at the Greensboro Coliseum, do
so soon and see this talented man
perform.
Mr. Skelton is the perfect exam-ple
of a person who is not just ex-isting
through his later years, but
shining brightly; a man who is in
every way a true star. At age sixty-nine
he looks at life through eyes
aged with wisdom and continues to
see life in a youthful and optimistic
way. Red Skelton
Reagan
Addresses
Congress
By BARBARA FORRESTER
st.fr Writer
President Reagan requested a
joint session of Congress last night.
At issue is aid to El Salvador.
The President told Congress that
Central America was strategically
important to the United States and
referred to it as "our lifeline to the
outside world with two-thirds of our
supplies going through the Panama
Cud."
"The Carribean and Central
America are recognized by the
Soviets as vital to our well-being.
Shouldn't we?" Reagan said.
Reagan told the Congress that
Democracy was beginning to take
root in El Salvador and he listed the
major problems as recession, the
cestruction of railroads, telephone
and telegraph lines and crops by the
guerillas.
The president named Nicaragua
as the director of Salvadoran
guerilla attacks and indicated that
nicaragua was receptive to basing

Pi Kappa Alpha May Go Sigma Nu
By DEWEY WHITAKER
Newt Editor
The local colony of Pi Kappa
Alpha lost it's national sponsorship
Sunday night when the leaders of
the frat met with two members
from the national organization.
Cliff Lowery, Dean for Student
Development, said yesterday
that the fraternity would lose all af-filiation
with that particular
brotherhood as of the end of this
semester. The reason for this move.
he explained, was that the local
chapter was unable to raise 40
members, the number needed for a
national charter.
The PKA's have 28 official
members as of this semester. The
national representatives of that
fraternity said that this was "not a
strong enough number."
Dean Lowery said that he and
members of the ex-PKA's have con-tacted
another fraternity. Sigma
Nu, to come and discuss the
possibility of installing the remain-ing
members of PKA in that
organization. Sigma Nu was invited
to establish a colony back in 1979
when the Board of Trustees voted
to allow fraternities and sorieties to
come to UNC-G.
Dan Pratt, present Vice-
Presidentof PKA. said that he was
impressed with the prospects of
becoming a Sigma Nu, and that he
thought that they would be treated
a little better by Sigma Nu national
than PKA has.
"From what we've read about
Sigma Nu they appear to be
superior to PKA, and more willing
to work with us in our particular
situation here at UNC-G." He add-ed
that they had given some
thought to joining another fraterni-ty
already established here on cam-pus,
but they wanted to stay
together as a group.
"Over the past three years, we
have grown into an individual
group, and joining another Frat
would not foster our sense of
brotherhood. It might make an us-and-
them type situation." He
added.
Lowery said that he and Tony
Snapp, president of the now defunct
PKA, would be meeting with Mr.
Littlefield of the National Sigma Nu
fraternity sometime next week.
"Hopefully on reading day" added
Lowery. Tony Snapp could not be
reached for comment.
Of the Fraternities on campus,
Lambda Chi Alpha, Sigma Phi Ep-silon,
Pi Kappa Phi, and Sigma Tau
Gamma are the only Fraternities to
receive their charters. Tau Kappa
Epsilon and Kappa Alpha Psi are
the remaining colonies yet to obtain
their charters.

Rape prevention seminars spon-sored
by the UNC-G Karate Club
have been teaching students and
local residents that you don't have
to be a weightlifter to defend
yourself. The karate taught on cam-pus,
Tae Kwondo or Korean
Karate, requires "not strength or
size," according to club president
Artie Macon, "it's technique that
counts."
The man in charge of the Tae
Kwondo seminars on campus is
Garry Ward, a fourth degree black
belt and the chief instructor at the
Young Yu Tae Kwon Do Karate
School, located on Spring Garden
Street. "Karate is a generic term,"
says Ward. Tae Kwondo is a
specific type of self-defense which
"instills a great deal of self-confidence
and mental attitude."
The UNC-G Karate Club began in
September of 1981 with six
members under the capable super-vision
of Garry Ward. Ward has
been studying various forms of
karate for twenty-one years, begin-ning
when he was in the Marines.
With his experience the Karate
Club has grown to include over
twenty members and is now one of
the strongest intramural clubs on
campus.
The year-round club activities in-clude
trips to West Virginia, Ohio
and Washington. D.C. teaching self-defense
to interested students and
local residents and entertaining at
local rest homes. Their most vital
on-campus activity has been to con-duct
self-defense seminars for the
student escort service and campus
security.
The rape prevention seminars are
held three to four times a year and
are also held in the summer.
Since Garry Ward is conducting
the seminars, there is some in-terplay
between the Karate Club
and the Tae Kwondo school run by
Master Young Yu. Being a Tae
