The^festern Carolinian The Voice of the Students 20 PAGES THURSDAY APR. 26,1979 Vol. XLIV, No. 30 CULLOWHEE, N.C. Thrill of victory Hundreds gathered at WCU Friday for the annual Special Olympics, where awards were given to those who did their best. The event was the culmination of many weeks of planning and hard work by scores of WCU students and faculty. (Photo by Lewis Greene) UNC sues HEW RALEIGH, N.C. AP—Claiming compliance with civil rights laws and undue interference by the federal government, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors Tuesday filed suit to block a cutoff of federal funds amounting to $89 million annually. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court and supported by Gov. Jim Hunt, was aimed at a number of federal departments that supply the monetary aid. It seeks a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare "to stop in its tracks incurstions upon program contnet and the places of teaching academic subjects." The court action erased what little optimism was generated last week by negotiations between Hunt, UNC President William Friday and HEW officials. The Associated Press erroneously reported Tuesday that a compromise had been reached earlier between the parties. •Turn to Page 10, Please Grades, meetings for seniors Spring Semester grade reports will be issued by the Registrar's Office on Saturday, May 5,1p.m. to 7p.m., first floor lobby. Bird administration building. Prospective graduates are reminded that all outstanding accounts must be cleared with the Controller's office—tuition, fees, loans, and traffic and security office, infirmary, library, housing office, and book exchange in order for diplomas and official transcripts to be released. Graduating seniors with National Direct Student Loans or Nursing Loans awarded by WCU must attend on of the following meetings: Thursday April 26 at 9, 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. in the UC Catamount Room. Failure to meet this requirement will delay the awarding of transcripts and possibly diplomas. WCU students play1 Aussies' in Model UN simulation by DOUG BEAM Staff Writer Australia and the United Nations were the centers of attention for ten students who represented WCU's first delegation to participate in the National Model United Nations (NMUN), one of the largest simulations of the United Nations in the world. The National Model United Nations, held in New York City from April 10-15, simulates sessions of such United Nations organs as the General Assembly, Security Council, and the Economic and Social Council. Its purpose is to give students a firsthand look at how the United Nations, once referred to as "the most complicated organization in the world," operates. Over 1200 student delegates from colleges and universities throughout the United States represented the concerns of 118 countries or international organizations. Delegates took on the role of professional diplomats, working together to resolve contemporary and controversial issues which face the United Nations. The WCU delegation, sponsored by the Student Association for Government and Legal Affairs (SAGLA), represented Australia in nine United Nations bodies. A charter member of the United Nations, Australia is an active participant in international affairs and annually contributes $6 million to the budget. From the keynote address delivered by United States Ambassador to the Economic and Social Council Melissa Wells to heated debate on resolutions in the actual chambers of the United Nations, WCU's delegates spent over 38 hours in conferences and countless other hours caucusing, lobbying and prepar- •Turn to Page 13, Please Seale to students: Wake up! In the 1960's, fascist attitudes and rampant police brutality led to the formation of the Black Panther Party, and attempts to win the minds of the people away from racism, bigotry and ignorance. And although there has been significant progress, "unrecognized new directions" of racism still exist, and new organizations are needed to fight them. That was the message of Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, who spoke Thursday at WCU. "There's going to be a lot of upheaval in the future in this country," Seale said. "The signs are already there—60 million people living below the poverty level, widespread unemployment, and dilapidated living conditions. "To those people who say everything is all right, I say everything is not all right." Speaking under the sponsorship of the WCU Student Association for Government and Legal Affairs, Seale described the Black Panther Party, which he formed with Huey P. Newton in 1966, as a product of its times. The 1960s were concerned with "spontaneous mass consciousness—raising," he said, and events and personalities of the decade—including Martin Luther King, the Vietnam conflict, the Chicago conspiracy trial in which Seale played a part—all captured the imagination of the people. "J. Edgar Hoover called the Black Panther Party a threat to the internal security of America," Seale said, "but J. Edgar Hoover was a fascist—he was rotten to the core." Seale has formed a new organization, "Advocates Scene," to respond to the needs of the present. He called Advocates Scene a "militant-style advocacy lobbying organization," fighting to produce an economic revolution. The goal, he said, is to create long-range economic stimulus programs aimed directly at people below the poverty level. "We need community-based economic development projects for these people," he said, recommending expenditures of some $40 billion per year over a 10-year period. Seale's political-revolutionary Black Panther Party advocated gun-toting armed revolution against the power stucture. Advocates Scene calls for change by influencing the legislative process. In 1969 Seale received world-wide attention as the most disruptive defendant in the Chicago conspiracy trial. He was ultimately gagged and chained to his chair in the courtroom. Eventually acquitted, he also faced a murder trial in New Haven, Conn., and also was acquitted after spending two years in jail. He was a key negotiator during the Attica State Prison revolt, and ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Oakland, Cal., in 1973. Since then he has written his autobiography, "A Lonely Rage." He is also the author of "Seize the Time," published by Random House in 1970. During the program, Winston Bagley of the WCU Organization of Ebony Students presented a check for $442.46 to Janice Inabinett of the N.C. Sickle-Cell Anemia Syndrome Program. The money was raised at a radio-thon conducted by station WBMU-FM in Asheville. •Photo by Lewis Greene
