Poetry Reading Jim Bowman and David Hickman Friday, October 5, 8:30 pm St. Mary's House Congratulations to Angel Chavis The New Miss NBS —pictures on page 3 Tlie Carolinian WEEKLY EDITION Nee-Profit U.S. Postage PAID UrMMkoro. N.C. Permit No. M OWssar4. IM4 \o\la Tfc. Uaiwslty of Nerta Cuiliu .1 Greeesboro Vice-PreaidentitJ Cuididate Geraldine Ferraro addressed lapportera in Greeniboro Monday afternoon liy H«-h«-l R~H 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. SCCA and New Peace Fellowship Make Plans tij Eric HUH N.».ESH« The Student* Concerned for Cen-tra] 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.
