4The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, November 16, 1988 MooorQlty panel focuses educator People often have misconceptions about homosexuals, said Patrick Lamerson, representing the Carolina Gay and Lesbian Association. "People think you wake up one morning and decided to be gay," he said, "as if you would purposely decide to become the most despised minority in the world." The Black Cultural Center (BCC) would not increase segregation at UNC, Brown said. "It wouldn't separate races any more," he said. "It would encourage blacks and whites to interact. Interaction would increase because it would be open to anyone." The BCC could do a lot to integrate blacks and whites, Zeligman said.

"If whites use it as a vehicle to understand blacks, it would do a lot of good," she said. The BCC would provide a much-needed place for cultural expression, Lamerson said. Human Rights Week panelists said. The stereotype that all Jewish people are rich and miserly is not necessarily true, said Laura Zelig-man, who represented Jewish students. "The Holocaust left a lot of people with an overriding sense to achieve.

Because of this, many Jewish people are rich," she said. "I have a lot of cheap Jewish friends; I have a lot of cheap Christian friends. There are a lot of cheap people." Sometimes minorities will make a conscious effort not to adhere to a stereotype, said Cedric Brown, who represented the Black Student Movement. "With some people, either they do it to a passion, or they try not to do it," he said. ineres a lot ol pressure in society that everyone be the he said.

"We all need a place where we can get together and express' ourselves. There's a gay culture and-there's a black culture. They need a place to express themselves." Prejudice against Indians is not a a large problem at UNC because there are so few of them, Moorthy said. "There aren't enough Indians on -the campus for there to be a judg- ment," she said. "We want recogni- tion that we are a minority." Minority students who join a majority group should hold on tb; their identities, Brown said.

"If I knew someone joining a predominately white group, my advice would be to be yourself," he said. "Stand up for what you believe in. Show everybody the diversity that is black people." By WILL SPEARS Staff Writer Although minorities at UNC are greeted with different levels of acceptance by students and faculty, all of them want to educate others about their cultures, student panel members said Tuesday in a minority forum. The forum, sposnored by Students for the Advancement of Race Relations (SARR), was part of Human Rights Week activities. SARR members James Gibbs and Lee Latimer were the forum's moderators.

Very often, what may seem to be prejudice may just be ignorance, said Malini Moorthy, who represented Indian students. "Education is the best way to create awareness," she said. "All minorities have to cross barriers in dealing with ignorance." The stereotypes associated with minority groups are often incorrect, Posters foir By JENNIFER WING Staff Writer Campus posters publicizing Thursday's speech by Philip Agee, a former CIA agent, have been repeatedly and probably intentionally torn down, said members of the Carolina Committee on Central America. Posters providing information about Agee's speech, one of the Human Rights Week activities, were placed around campus late last week. Many of them were torn down within a day, especially around Davis Library and Hamilton Hall, said Joel Sipress, a committee member.

"IVe put one poster up in the same place four different times," said John Strickland, a committee member. Nobody has claimed responsibility for the actions, although Sipress said he suspects the posters were torn down by some right-wing students, "I feel that a lot of them feel it is ex-OA agent's speech Human Rights Week Schedule Wednesday, November 16 10 a.m.-l p.m. Movies "Mona: The Persecution of Baha'is in Iran" and "Through the Eyes of Youth."

The Carolina Committee for Central America invited representatives from the CIA to debate with Agee, but "the CIA has informed members of the University committee that they could not speak on any campus where CIA recruitment is an issue," Strickland said. The committee is unable to single out any one person who might be responsible for the missing posters, but it could be an individual effort, he said. Brock Dickinson, president of the Association of International Students, said, "There is a sort of, trend among students here not to be concerned about issues, but to be concerned about the personalities with the issues.

Jason James, managing editor of.

But it would be something that weVe been encouraging for a long, long time." The PLO declaration left open the possibility that the incoming administration may give high priority to the Middle East during its early months in office.

Bush said he already has talked with Secretary of State-designate James A. Baker HI about it, and said, "Obviously we're going to be concerned about the Middle East." Redman said the administration has not seen the final text but promised it would receive "serious study." "Our objective is a comprehensive Redman said.

One possible reason for tearing down the posters is that the perpetrators are afraid people will hear about the CIA's activities and become interested, he said. Agee is a former CIA agent who worked with the organization for 12 years before leaving because of his moral objections to the CIA's activities. Agee worked as an agent in Mexico, Equador, Uruguay and Washington, D.C. He opposed the CIA's domestic policies in Mexico, so he left in 1969. After leaving the agency, Agee wrote a novel, "Inside the Company," revealing specific names and roles of people involved in classified CIA activities.

He left the U.S. in order call did not specify the borders of the new territory but it presumably encompasses the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which have been under Israeli control since 1967. At the White House, presidential spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the administration sees "positive elements" to the PNC statement, including its acceptance of U.N. Security Council resolutions 242 and 338. These resolutions lay the groundwork for a comprehensive settlement to the Arab-Israeli conflict and implicitly recognize Israel's right to 'exist.

Successive U.S (administrations have conditioned the opening of a dialogue with the PLO on its acceptance of the resolutions. The administration's response left ambiguous whether it sees the new policy statement as representing a significant shift in the PLO stance and whether it could provide the basis for a changed U.S. policy.

A declaration of independent Palestinian statehood is such a unilateral act."
