In Senate
Appropriations Chair Named
Tuesday evening's meeting of
Senate was highlighted by the ap-proval
of a new appropriations
chairperson, the election of a new
president pro-tempore of the
Senate, passage of new bylaws con-cerning
the commmittee on the
Classification of Organizations, and
debate on a proposal to place a
wicker pig on the Chancellor's front
lawn.
The appointment of David Nance
to the chairmanship of the Senate
Appropriations committee was the
source of a major debate due to the
fact that his appointment required
the waiving of the requirement that
the chairperson had to have served
for a year on the committee
previously. Senator Bill Snedden
pointed out to the Senate that
because of the almost complete
rewriting of the rules for the com-mittee,
past experience would not
be as useful as it had been in
previous years. Senator Jeff
Johnson responded by saying that
even with quite adequate qualifica-tions,
there can be no substitute for
actual experience when it comes to
chairing a committee. Senator Mike
Stewart requested more informa-tion
on Mr. Nance's previous ex-perience,
and Mr. Nance responded
by listing his past work with student
governments in high school and
Emory and Henry before transfer-ring
to I'NC-C He added that he
had worked with Boy's State and
for NBC NewB in doing election
polls. He added that he was very in-volved
with work for the
Democratic Party, and that he felt
that because of his status as a
transfer student he could provide an
"objective view" because he had
"no ties to any organisation."
Objecting to his appointment
were Senators Tim Casstevens and
Ricardo Rodriguiz—who both felt
that Senate was too casual in
suspending the bylaws and that the
chairperson needed to know the
goals, past problems and needs of
the organizations that the commit-tee
would be working with.
A vote followed, and Nance was
named as the new chairperson.
In announcements, Jeff Johnson
spoke about an "editorial" in a re-cent
Carolinian regarding the com-parison
of the Inter-Varsity Chris-tian
fellowship to a "cult." He
stated that he knew the people in
Inter-Varsity to be a "fine group of
people."
Senator Rodriguiz told Senate
that the student voting registration
drive on campus had registered 273
people in the first day and a half. He
added that he hoped to register
1000 before the end of the week.
SG President Lorie Tyson an-nounced
that a workshop had been
held for all organizations that were
hoping to request money from
Senate, and that every organization
except Masqueraders had either at-tended
or made previous
arrangements.
Next, new bylaws regarding the
Committee on the Classification of
Organizations was brought forward
by Senator Snedden, head of the
Legislative Committee. Senate
suspended the bylaws to consider
the legislation. Senator Casstevens
brought up a concern regarding the
stipulation that no more than 3
members of the committee could be
seniors, adding that "it sounds like
a quota." Senator Murph stated
that the reason for that stipulation
was one of existence." You have to
have someone to take over next
year," he explained. Senate then
voted to pass the legislation.
The next item was the election of
a president pro-Umpore of the
Senate, whose duties include taking
over for the vice-president when he
is absent and taking the gavel when
the VP wishes to participate in
debate. The candidates were Jeff
Johnson, Buck Buchanan, Chuck
Murph, and Ricardo Rodriguiz. In
what was described by VP Carter
as "a close race," Buck Buchanan
was elected to the position.
Following this, Parlimentarian
Murph held a parlimentary
workshop for Senators because so
few had signed up for the schedul-ed
workshop. He chided Senators
by saying "Don't say 'I'd like to
make a motion,'—a motion is like
this..." he said while flapping his
hand. He added that people should
state their motions clearly and not
talk more than was necessary in the
process.
To show Senators how the
parlimentary procedure was sup-posed
to work, Murph made a mo-tion
that Senate place a "wicker pig
in the Chancellor's front yard." To
this a friendly amendment was add-ed
that it be a brass pig, but when
the amendment was made formal it
was defeated despite Senator
Johnson's contention that the brass
pig would be classier.
It was then objected that the pro-posal
hadn't gone through commit-tee
and that no one knew where the
money was coming from—but SG
President Tyson stated from the
gallery that she would donate the
money for the pig herself.
Rodriguiz denounced the difference
between wicker and brass ani-mals—
saying, "Pigs is pigs."
A motion to make the pig the
school colors failed, but the further
amendment that it be a "B -1 - G"
pig was agreed to by Mr. Murph.
Finally, the motion to place a
"large, natural wicker pig in the
Chancellor's yard to show our ap-preciation"
passed with a vote of 17
for, 4 against, with 3 absentions.
The next meeting of Senate will
take place next Tuesday at 7 pm in
the Alexander Room of EUC. All
students are invited.

America and the newly-formed
Peace Fellowship are planning ac-tivities
for the academic year. The
two independent groups are also
working to build awareness of
world issues through speakers and
films, open forums, and campus-wide
rallies.
Helanie Feinstein, president of
the SCCA, describes the organisa-tion's
goals as increasing awareness
of the situation in Central America,
world hunger, the arms race, and
American foreign policy. The SCCA
currently has an enrollment of
about forty members, up from last
year, and is involved in the plann-ing
of several related activities.
"Right now we're reaching out to
different groups on campus to
organise an effort in response to
President Reagan's foreign policy,"
said Feinstein. The group is also
working on a city-wide voter
registration drive with the National
Organisation of Women. Members
are going from door to door in
targeted neighborhoods signing up
citiwns to vote in November's
elections.
The SCCA also has many ac-tivities
still in the planning stage.
On October 9, two Nicaraguan
priests will address the group. On
October 2, 8:30 p.m. in Alderman
Lounge, the group will sponsor s
film entitled "Women in Poverty."
They are also planning a rally
before the elections open to any in-terested
persons. The SCCA meets
every Sunday night in EUC at 6:30.
The group is non-partisan and en-courages
particpation by anyone
who is interested.
The Peace Fellowship is a new
group generally designed as an
open forum on world issues.
Although only in its first year of ex-istence,
the Peace Fellowship
already has several activities on its
agenda. Coordinator Mack Arrington
and the group are planning for
speakers and film presentations.
The Rev. W.W. Olmay from the
N.C. State Peace Center in Raleigh
is scheduled to speak on October 8.
His topic will be how to get a peace
group started. The group is also
planning for Marylin Braun from
Crowd Greets
Ferraro in
Greensboro
By Eric Haass
Ntwi Etlittw
A cheering crowd of nearly 3,000
braved chilly winds and threatening
skies Monday to greet Democratic
Vice-Presidential nominee
Geraldine Ferraro. Ferraro arrived
at Governmental Plata in
downtown Greensboro at 12:45
p.m. amidst strains of Happy Days
Are Here Again and spoke for ap-proximately
thirty minutes, stopp-ing
occasionally as the crowd roared
their approval.
Greensboro was Fsrraro's first
stop on two-stop campaign swing
through North Carolina. Also pre-sent
at the rally were Governor Jim
Hunt, gubernatorial candidate
Rufus Edminsten, Congressman
Robin Britt, Lieutenant Governor
candidate Bob Jordan, and several
State House representatives and
Greensboro council persons.
Edminsten appeared first on the
piatform, flashing a large grin and
a victory sign to the crowd. He took
the podium and spoke on the
strength of the Democratic party,
characterizing it as "representative
of the people who don't have the
rank and power in America." Bob
Jordan spoke next, calling on the
people to "make sure that Ferraro
in the first woman vice president on
November 6."
The crowd chanted, "Gerry!
Gerry!" for several minutes before
she finally appeared, accompanied
by Hunt and Britt, smiling and wav-ing
to the enthusiastic group of
supporters.
Before Ferraro spoke, Governor
Hunt told the crowd that "diversi-ty
in the Democratic party has
made us great. We have room for
everybody and room enough to
disagree." He also blasted special
interests and the "borrow and
spend" policy of the Republican
Party candidates.
After a short introduction by
Britt, Ferraro approached the
podium. "It's wonderful to be back
in Greensboro," she began. "And I
must say you have a few more peo-ple
here than you did last time."
She wasted no time in getting
down to the business at hand, first
concentrating on North Carolina
politics by endorsing Hunt in bis
quest for the Senate. She heavily
criticized Senator Jesse Helms' sup-port
of the right-wing Roberto
D'Aubisson in El Salvador, his op-position
to the voting rights act, and
his stand on the Genocide Treaty.
"He doesn't reflect the ideas of the
people of North Carolina," she said.
"Nowhere is there more of a choice
in Senate elections than in North
Carolina, and I want you to know
that the whole nation is watching.
Come next January, the senior
Senator from North Carolina will be
out of a job."
Ferraro then broadened her
criticism of the Republicans to in-clude
President Reagan. Referring
to America's $200 billion deficit, she
told the crowd, "The Republicans'
motto is 'We make money the old
fashioned way: we print it.' " She
also denounced the cutting of educa-tional
funds and child and family
programs, the dumping of toxic
wastes, and the opposition to the
Equal Rights Amendment.
Speaking of her support for the
ERA, Ms. Ferraro said, "When I
take the oath in January, 1 want to
uphold a Constitution that includes
the ERA."
MM also directly criticised
Republican Vice-Presidental
nominee George Bush concerning
an incident In Columbus, Ohio, last
week in which Bush pulled out his
wallet and commented on the power
of money. 'This is an election, not
an auction," she said. "We don't
need to rely on television com
mericals full of phony cheer, made
on Madison Avenue."
Ferraro addressed Reagan's cut
of veterans' benefits. "Our veterans
want a government who stands by
them in time of peace," she said to
the pleasure of the crowd, which
responded with shouts of "Right on,
Gerry!" She promised that the
Mondale-Ferraro administration
would not forget the veterans.
She also criticized President
Reagan's foreign policy, his ap-proach
to arms limitations, and his
actions in Central America. She
said that the people did not want to
fight in Central America- In addi-tion,
she rebutted Reagan's arms
policies, stating that "when we stop
the arms race, that will be a
patriotic act."
The crowd of close to 3,000 peo-ple
interrupted Ferraro several
times during her speech with cheers
and standing ovations. Also present
wen a handful of anti-abortion pro-testers
carrying signs that read,
"Personally Opposed? We Don't
Believe It!
Security was tight during the ral-ly.
Police and Secret Service patroll-ed
the surrounding rooftops, but
there were no distruptions.
