But about 50 percent of those polled said they strongly agreed with the statement that "there should be a multicultural center instead of a freestanding BCC." Meanwhile, 23 percent said they moderately agreed that there should be a multicultural center on campus, rather than a new BCC. Seven percent of those polled said they disagreed strongly that there should be a multicultural center instead of a University community since 1893 Chapel Hill, studying social movements, said the numberof multicultural center supporters surprised him.

"I take that preference to be really an expression of some apprehension that a black cultural center will make for more separatism," he said. "It's a suggestion that students are concerned that a black cultural center will increase separatism between blacks and white."

Response from panelists and TAs to the workshops has been very positive, Miyazaki said. Dianne Chambers, an English TA, said she got some ideas on how to be more sensitive to her students.

"Generally (the workshop) was about how to make everybody feel they were involved how to include everybody without singling a student out on the basis of race or gender or sexual Orientation or ethnicity." Sisk said: "(I learned that) it's not a bad idea to ask charged questions about sexual and ethnic issues in the classroom if you make everyone responsible for answering instead of singling out students. I always thought it was better to avoid asking questions rather than upset students."

The sessions often begin with one of the program coordinators relating an experience they had in class. The workshops are designed to last an hour, but they sometimes run over because the participants want to continue the discussions. David Sisk, an English TA, said that at a workshop he attended, several people continued the discussion out in the hall after one of the sessions was officially over. "It was a very open and non-accusatory experience," he said. "It was very free-form." Hayney said certain problems repeatedly werediscussed.

Senior Hubie Yang, a student panelist, added, "Lots of TAs assume that a student from a particular race or culture knows everything about that race or culture."

The rallies disintegrated into a shouting match as members of SEAC, pro-choice advocates from the groupChapel Hill for Choice and the BushQuayle supporters battled in front of the library for about an hour. Afterward, some SEAC members complained that the Republican rally was purposely disruptive. "It is unclear whether or not their intent was to disrupt a previously scheduled rally," Busby said. "We'll find out whatever violations they've done, and we'll nail them."

The TA Diversity Workshops attempt to show teaching assistants how to be more sensitive to minority students in their classes. "We're providing a space and a forum where TAs can ask questions of undergraduate students directly," said Kurt Miyazaki, instructor and training coordinator for the cultural diversity program. "Having the experiences come from the undergraduate's mouth makes it much more real," Kerry Hayney, instructor and assessment coordinator for the cultural diversity program, said there was very little training for teaching a diverse student body, are becoming much more female in terms of gender and more colored in terms of ethnic minorities." About six students from various backgrounds make up the panel for each workshop. Miyazaki is always looking for new students to serve on the panel to provide di ferent perspectives. "If you keep having the same people, authentic experience turns into rhetoric," he said.

TAs who attend the workshops may Rally debacle By Thanassis Cambanis Staff Writer In the wake of a BushQuayle rally that interrupted an environmentalist rally Thursday, the co-chairman of the Student Environmental Action Committee said he was exploring pressing charges against the organizers. Josh Busby said he was planning to talk to Susan Ehringhaus, UNC legal counsel, about avenues for legal action against the organizers of the rally. Rally organizers did not obtain University permission to use the area between Davis Library and Lenoir Hall, University officials said Sunday.

Dante's words, "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here," applied to anyone who went downtown looking for a night of peace and quiet. Hi-Lighter Man, the Grim Reaper, Condom Man, the Playboy Bunnies, the Pink Panther, Captain Kirk, Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat, Rambo, Gilligan and even Jesus showed up to stroll and check out the other attendees. Around 8 p.m., police blocked off one lane of Franklin Street from Rosemary to Henderson Street so the revelers could have some space to move. And move they did.

"We're all white trash," shouted several men dressed in garbage cans. "Bring out your dead," answered a coffin-carrying crowd. "We've found a witch may we burn her?" yelled a Monty Python induced mob. "But how do you know she's a witch?" responded the well-cued crowd. A woman carrying an "Official Costume Judge" sign wandered through the crowd checking out die attendees.

She never held up any 10s, though. The annual, unofficial parade filled the 100 block of Franklin Street on Halloween night as merrymakers dressed as ghouls, goblins, underwear-men and even trees descended on downtown Chapel Hill. Even UNC-system President CD. Spangler and his wife, who were dressed as a university president and spouse the real Spanglers came downtown to check out the crazies. Spangler was dressed in his usual double-breasted suit and tie.

There were religious-theme costumes nuns, popes, Jesuses and the occasional devil. There were gender-theme costumes men as women, women as men, women as bizarre things, men as men, women as women and people as generally asexual bizarre things. Some people went for the comic aspect of the evening. "Yale Grad will work for food" was the sign carried by a person in a graduate's robes.

Karen Roades, a UNC sophomore from North Wilkesboro, and David Shupe, also from North Wilkesboro, attended the jam dressed as a bumble bee and a flower. Roades said they enjoyed the partying in the streets but thought fewer people attended this year. Government has been a fossil; it should be a plant Ralph Waldo Emerson i 4.
