UNCG's Investments based on
Sullivan Principles
The Telefund Project
Part Time Work Available for Students
BY STEPHANIE MARSHALL
SUM Writer
A group of UNCG students
are raising money for the school
in a telethon, an ambitious pro-ject
in which they hope to raise
up to $600,000. This money goes
into the Telefund, which is used
for various things such as
renovations on campus, scholar-ships,
fellowships for graduate
students, and grants for faculty
members.
Julie Ketner, who 'w ,r\ fihiffci''
of the telethon, seems very ex-cited
about the endeavor. In an
interview, she stressed the im-portance
of the Telefund as a ma-jor
source of income for the
university. The chief purpose of
raising this money, she asserted,
along with funding various im-portant
activities on campus, is
to improve the overall academic
reputation of UNCG.
The telethon began December
12th, and will continue through
June. There are currently thirty
students on the staff, and it is
hoped that ten to fifteen more
will be hired.
Although similar projects have
been carried out in the past at
UNC-G, this one is different in
various ways. First of all. this is
the first time that the Telefund
project has been carried out on
a long-term basis. In the past, the
telethons have been held only for
brief periods of time. Secondly,
students who work at the
telephones are being paid for the
first time. The salary paid to
these students is $4.00 per hour.
Also, these funds are now
uninhibited meaning that the
people in charge of allocating
them have a certain amount of
flexibility in deciding how they
will be spent.
So far. the Telefund project is
off to an excellent start. To date,
over $16,000 has been raised.
The monetary goal set for June
is $500,000 to $600,000. And
considering the vast amount of
money needed by this university
for the extensive renovations
that are planned, and for various
kinds of financial aid, it seems
certain that the money will be
put to good use.
For students who wish to par-ticipate,
applications are still be-ing
taken. Anyone interested
should contact Julie Ketner at
379-5999. or drop by the Depart-ment
Office in the Alumni
House.

Dr. Svi Shapiro, believes now
that the Faculty Council has
passed a resolution concerning
UNC-G's policy toward invest-ment
in companies that do
business in South Africa, it is the
students turn.
Shapiro, a professor in the
School of Education, says, "It's
great that the faculty has
spoken, but I think the students
should speak, too. It's absolute-ly
vital if they care at all about
issues of justice."
"I want to ask the students at
this university to add their voices
to this movement for change in
South Africa." Shapiro suggests
that the Student Government
pass a resolution supporting the
Faculty Council's resolution.
Better yet, he says, the students
could pass their own resolution
on the subject. Shaprio believes
that there needs to be more
education on campus about the
situation currently in South
Africa. Student should voice in-terest
in having this education
offered.
He does not believe that the
students have done much in sup-port
of the faculty's request that
UNCG totally divest. "So far as
I can tell students' voices have
been pretty quiet on this campus.
I want to remind them that in
many universities it is the
Pro-Choice
Vigil Held
By STEVEN NINIVAGGI
Steff Writer
On Wednesday, Jan. 22, a vigil
was held by over 100 persons.
The Greensboro chapter of NOW
(National Organization for
Women) and NARAL (National
Abortion Right Action League)
co-sponsored the vigil. It com-memorated
all those women who
needlessly suffered from faulty
"back alley" abortions or
dangerous childbirth.
Jan. 22 is the anniversary of
the Supreme Court decision
which gave women the legal
right to choose whether or not to
have an abortion. In a phone in-terview,
Jeanette Stokes, presi-dent
of the North Carolina
NARAL program, emphasized
the need for Pro-Choice sup-porters
to continue speaking out.
"For some reason," says
Stokes, "the Anti-Abortionists'
graphic visual effects appeal
students who have led the way
for divestment."
Shapiro reports that over 80
universities and colleges around
the nation have divested. Twen-ty
municipalities have divested.
Five states have divested and 28
other states currently have
resolutions for divestment, pend-ing.
Plus, adds Shapiro, the
figures are growing continually.
"I'm delighted that the facul-ty
here has passed very strongly
and almost unanimously this
resolution. 1 hope very much that
the Board of Trustees and the In-vestment
Committee will heed to
the wishes of the faculty, "Shapiro
says.
Recently UNCG's Board of
Trustees announced that they
will only invest in South African
based companies which adhere to
the Sullivan Principles. Shapiro
says that this action is not ade-quate
because the Sullivan Prin-ciples
themselves are not ade-quate.
He says, "The notion that
the Sullivan Principles will help
to bring about a belter state of
affairs is denied by any news
reporter on the scene in South
Africa. The opposite is
happening."
Shapiro does not know what
will cause South Africa's current
government to change but he
says that divestment will help
add pressure to businessmen to
change their methods. He says
that the white South African
economy is in a great deal of
trouble and that the trouble is be-ing
caused partly because of the
pressure that is coming from the
outside.
"The more pressure that
America, one of the major in-vestors
in South Africa, apply,
the more likely we can bring
about some change." He adds,
"The quicker the change
happens—the less bloodshed
there will be. The slower the
change, the more the anger
mounts and the more the
bloodshed."
More than 1.000 South
Africans have been killed in the
last year, he says. The only way
to stop the violence and the un-just
is to dismantle the apartheid
system, according to Shapiro.
He also agrees that if apar-theid
is abolished the Afrikaners
will loose a lot of their luxuries.
However, he feels that they will
also gain something. "They will
gain by living in a country that
is at peace."
This issue of the Carolinian is dedicated to the seven member crew
of the Challenger VII space shuttle.

The space shuttle exploded 72-75 seconds after lift-off at the Ken-nedy
Space Center. As yet, the explosion is unexplained. President
Reagan summed the tragedy up most appropriately when he said
to the nation, 'The future doesn't belong to the faint hearted. It
belongs to the brave."
more to people than the stories
of individual women." NARAL
has begun a nationwide project
called Silent* No Mart. The pro-ject
is designed to collect stories
from women all over the country
who have suffered because abor-tion
was unavailable to them.
NARAL also helps train
volunteers to get involved
politically, and it carefully wat-ches
for any laws which might
threaten the abortion right.
Through vigils, rallies,
editorials and other means,
NARAL tries to create an
awareness in people that their
rights are being threatened. The
North Carolina division of
NARAL also held Pro-Choice
events in Raleigh, Chapel Hill
and Durham. Stokes believes
that the awareness programs
have brought people out who are
not necessarily political, but who
are concerned that their rights
be upheld.
Also in attendance were Leah
Griffin and Mindy Durrani,
leader of the UNCG Association
of Women Students. The AWS
plans to sponsor a march in
Washington later this semester.
15 Officers No Longer Enough
By DANNY GRIGGS
guff Writer
Contrary to what car owners
think, there isa shortage of cam-pus
security officers at UNCG
This problem may have been
noticed by any group trying to
hold a function in Elliott Center.
The current EUC rule states
that any large group holding a
social event is required to have
at least three officers for securi-ty.
This rule stems from the need
not only to keep order but to
keep out visitors off campus.
Each of these officers must be
paid time and a half for overtime.
Needless to say, this is expen-sive.
The cost is particularly hard
on fraternities and sororities who
have no budget for security.
According to Jerry William-
Bon, head of Campus Security.
this is an old story. With UNC
G's total campus population and
enrollment (including staff)
around 12,000, there should be
around 30 officers on duty to
meet minimum standards. Cur-ently
UNCG has 16 officers
working the three shifts, seven
days a week. Formerly, Mr.
Williamson said, 15 officers were
enough. But the increase in
population and number of
buildings has outpaced the in-crease
in number of officers.
Any addition of manpower
must be approved through the
state, which decides whether or
not any slots will be granted.
During the Hunt administration
a hiring freeze was implemented
and it was impossible to add any
officers. During the beginning of
the Martin administration the
hiring freeze was lifted. William-son
applied for three officers and
received one. Then the state
froze the creation of new posi-tions
once more. Williamson
would like to get three more men
and implement an evening swing
shift. This would allow extra
coverage during the peak hours
from around 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. and
thus provide better protection.
Furthermore it would be possible
to cover social events without so
much overtime and strain on the
security staff.
The administration has been
trying to obtain new positions for
some time. Unfortunately, the
state hiring freeze had been hard
to overcome. For now, campus
security has to run on a tight
schedule and organizations will
have to continue to pay until the
hiring freeze is over.
