Senate Funds Projects By LEIGH TRAPP Staff Wriltr S< ie met Tuesday night to a^opt two resolutions dealing with the disapproval of a National Portal Lands sale, and the approval to seek funding to expand the Campus Security motorized escort service M that it will be available to all itudentsat UNC-G. Senate also appropriated money for two luncheons for the candidate for Vice-Chancellor of Academic Af-fairs, an Education Arts Hay and funding for one student's travel to the Association for the Handicap-ped Students' Convention. A resolution stating the disap-proval of the sale of National Forest Lands was approved unanimously. According the the resolution, the sale is considered "to counter the best interest of wilderness conser-vation and good stewardship of the land." copies of this resolution will be sent to Senator Jesse Helms, Senator John East and Represen-tative Robin Britt—among others. The second resolution that was passes showed the support on Senate's behalf to find funding to enable Campus Security to expand its motorized escort service. Until recently. Campus Secuiity has on-ly escorted females as an "answer to the heightened risk of sexual assault." However, Campus Securi-ty has now decided to expand its service to provide equal protection to all students—thus allowing the University to "provide equal securi-ty to all students" on the UNC-C campus. In other business, Senate approv-ed $300.00 for an Education 381 Arts Day. This event is designed to expose future teachers to several different types of Arts and to educate them on Art teaching skills. Ninety dollars was appropriated for two luncheons for Candidates running for the position of Vice- ChanceUor of Academic Affairs. The luncheons will give students an opportunity to meet the candidates and exchange ideas Initially, the luncheon was only going to lie open to a few students; however, it was stipulated thai graduate students would he allowed to attend if they would pay for their own meal. Senate also approved $410.00 to fund one student's trip to the i in in (bf the handicapped Student's Convention in Oakland. The approved money will pay for the student's airfare and Hmosine services. It will also be used to buy tapee so the student can tape all of the speeches and sessions. These tapes will be kept as a per-manent record at the University for any Interested student's use. A written transcript of the convention will also be made available through the University CSA Donates To United Way By SANDY ALVIS SUff Writer CSA recently sponsored a pizza deli in order to raise money for the United Way. Bob Hughes. Presi-dent of CSA. says that, "The pizza deli was for the most part a suc-cess." Although there was a small delay in serving the pizza, the generous donation from PTA "more than makes up for where they failed," explains Tom Franklin, who serves on the plann-ing committed for the United Way. CSA donated $530 to the United Way and PTA contributed another $6)0. This is the beginning of cam-pus support of the United Way. Bob Hughes, who is also on the planning committe. explains that "the campaign officially kicks off next fall but this is something that will get the campaign rolling." Plans for campus wide support of the United Wav are rapidly materialising. Tom Franklin believes that student support is crucial to the success of the cam-paign. Franklin emphasizes that, "no matter how big the committee, we can't do it without the students." Franklin would like to involve group organizations like fraternities to increase donations. He believes that the United Way is a very wor-thwhile organization. Bob Hughes believes that all of CSA's hard work will eventually pay off. The Board of Trustees and Chancellor Moran are both suppor-ting the campaign to help the United Way. The next CSA function is a Pig Pickin at Piney I*ake on April 15. Commuting students should prepare themselves for a day of good food, drink and hopefully sun-shine t'SA hopBB to be able to supp-ly transj(ortation 1 Kick to UNC-G for students who overindulge in any of the above mentioned. Theriault And Franklin Win, Have Plans For Future By DEWEY WHITAKER Ntwi Editor The elections are finally over, and it looks as though UNC-G will have its first woman President in 12 years. Kim Theriault won the run-off election by over 100 votes and Tom Franklin won the Vice- Presidential race by over 175. Defeated in the race for President was Junior Bob Hughes and Chuck Murph lost the bid for Vice- President. Theriault was reached by phone from her residence in Mary Foust dorm, where she said she was drinking a glass of champagne in celebration of her victory. "1 feel great. Right now I'm just going to take it easy, catch up on some homework," she said. She said that she had definite plans and some not so definite plans for her next few moves in her new position, but first she was going to spend a tot of time learn-ing "the ropes" from out-going President Jon Hensley. "I'm going to spend time up in the (SG) office, Jon's going show me some things." Tom Franklin was equally ex-cited about his victory, and he add-ed that he too would be working on his grades. He continued to say that he felt good about his campaign, and spoke of his first actions when he takes office. "The first thing I'm going to do is finish the job that the current Vice-President, Sybil Mann, has started," he said. I want to finish up unfinished business. 1 want io start off next year with new pro-jects clean." Franklin attributed his victory to his campaign, that he said he worked very hard on. "I thought we covered the cam-pus well, and that greatly increas-ed my chances." Bob Hughes, defeated for the position of President, said that he was disappointed that he did not win, but was not apprehensive about the job that Kim Theriault would do. "She's going to do a good job. I have no complaints." He was ask-ed if he would serve on Theriault's executive cabinet, and he replied that he was not interested. "I don't want to serve on her cabinet, but I do want to be back on CSA's board." he added. Theriault had mentioned that she would like to work with Hughes in the coming year, but did not eleaborate on her choices for her cabinet. It is usually a com-mon practice to ask the loser in a Presidential election to serve on the winner's board. Franklin said that he thought he could work well with Theriault. In earlier speeches, Franklin had said that one of his strong points is his ability to work well with anyone. Murph, who was defeated in the race, said that he would remain on Senate, and that he hoped that Franklin would keep him at his present position of Chairperson of the Classification of Organizations Committee. "Tom has a lot of enthusiasm," said Murph. Kim Theriault S Tom Franklin Lecture Heckling Continues To Rise On Campuses News Briefs Helta Sigma Theta will be col-lecting pennies and anything else in the form of money for what they are calling a "Penny drive" on Monday night, April 18 from people living in dorms. The pro-ceeds from the drive will be donated to the March of Dimes in the name of UNC-G. Lisa Davis, spokesperson for the sorority, said that they decid-ed to help the March of Dimes as a part of their annual drive. She also said that they would "ap-preciate as much support as possible." They will be collecting money between 7 and 8 p.m. on Monday night in the dorms, but any Com-muting student that would like to donate may contact any member of Delta Sigma Theta or call Lisa Davis at 379-5020. On Friday. April 15th, the Inter-Varsity and Alpha Omega Christian Fellowships, the Bap-tist Student Union and the Wesley/Luther house will spon-sor a fund raising dance in Clax-ton for the benefit of hungry peo-ple around the world. The dance is from 8-11 p.m. and the cover charge will be three dollars. Free refreshments will be served. Local favorite Steve Peterson will be playing records for the event. For any additional informa-tion, contact Richard Cartwright at 299-8798. (CPS)--Worried that students are using "the hecklers' veto" vote to suppress free speech on campus, five college associates have issued a joint denunciation of student behavior that recently stopped United Nations Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick and Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani from completing campus lectures. In their statement, the five groups also noted the rude behavior that former Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver hu met on campus travels over the last year for the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Collegiate Associa-tion for the Kcseareh of Principles. "The 'hiss ami boo', when they go beyond brief expressions of opposi-tion and become instruments to silence those with whom one disagrees, are inappropriate," the statement read. The statement, signed by the American Council on Education. the National Coalition of Indepen-dent Colleges and University Students (known as COPUS), the U.S. Student Association, the Na-tional Organization of Black Univer-sity and College Students and the American Association of Universi-ty Professors (AAUP), called on schools and students to take steps to assure speakers get to say their pieces.

Stepto, Associate Pro fessor of English, Afro-American Studies and American Studies at Yale University, will speak to students and faculty on the forma-tion of curriculum for literary studies. Stepto will speak in Alder man Lounge of Elliott University Center, UNC-G, at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon, April 27. The title of Stepto's address is "Make One Music as Before: Toward a Creater Balance in American Literary Studies." His speech will be followed by an open discussion and a reception. Stepto received his B.A. from Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., and his MA. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University. He is director for graduate studies in Afro-American Studies at Yale University. Stepto is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship, and a Yale University senior Faculty Fellowship. In 1981, Stepto directed a Na-tional Endowment for the Humanities (NF.H) Summer Seminar for College Teachers on "Folk and Written Vnices in Afro- American Literature." He has also directed a Modern Language Association/NKH Summer Seminar on Afro-American Literature, "From Criticism to Course Design." Among his publications are several important books on Afro- American Studies and literature. With Michael Harper, he has edited "Chant of Saints: A Gathering of Afro-American Literature. Art and Scholarship." With Dexter Fisher, he edited "Afro-American Literature: The Reconstruction of Instruction." His critical work "From Behind the Veil: A Study of Afro-American Narrative," was published in 1979 by the Universi-ty of Illinois Press. tion." says R. Alfred Sumberg of the AAUP, when freedom of speech is denied for anv reason. "We will always have differences of opinions and ideas on campuses, and I think that's great," says Sara Thurin, COPUS's president. "But the goal of the statement is to make it clear we don't support a hecklers' veto." There were a rash of such "vetoes" in March as Kirkpatrick, Yamani and Cleaver were all foiled in attempts to deliver speeches. Kirkpatrick made it through a troubled March 2nd talk at the University of Minnesota, but later in the month was prevented from speaking by some 800 Berkeley demonstrators against the Reagan administration's policies in El Salvador. Yamani never got to deliver a March 28th speech at Kansas State because of heckling from the rear of the auditorium there. Police even-tually arrested five people after KSU president Duane Acker failed to persuade the hecklers to quiet down. Wisconsin students on March 18th forced Cleaver to stop a speech on that campus for the second time this school year. Cleaver has long been victimiied by campus hecklers. In February, 1982, Yale students booed him off their stage. Last May, one Berkeley student threw a punch at him while hecklers repeatedly interrupted the former radical as he attempted to deliver his address. "It has always happened," on campuses, says American Council on Education spokesman Bob Aaron. "We said the same thing (about letting people speak) at the time of the Vietnam war." "I don't think it's rampant now," Thurin says. "But it is something that could grow." Some don't see much there to grow. "I haven't found (heckling) to be a problem," says Carol Bruckner of the William Morris Agency in New York, which books many cam-pus lecture tours. Phi Beta Kappa Sponsors Lecture Dr. Keith R. Porter, a professor of biology at the University of Col-orado and a pioneer in electron mfcrotcony of cells and tissues, will deliver the annual Phi Beta Kappa lecture at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro on Thurs-day.
