4 Monday, November 1,1993 Pavao Leads in Campaign Spending BYBRETT PERRY STAFF WRITER They’re everywhere —and they could be coming to a neighborhood near you. Campaign signs, bumper stickers, elec tion buttons and pamphlets are scattered throughout Chapel Hill. Some residents receive more election mail than others, and some candidates send out more campaign brochures than their competitors. Four of the candidates for Chapel Hill Town Council said they thought it was necessary to spend large sums of money on their campaigns. Lee Pavao, Rosemary Waldorf, Jim Protzman and Pat Evans all have spent more than $2,000 on their campaigns. Pavao has spent more money on his campaign than any other candidate, ac cording to financial records released by the Orange County Board of Elections. As of Oct. 18, Pavao had spent $4,897, but he said he did not think he had spent more than any past town council candidate. He added that he did not think other candidates were far behind in expendi tures. “I think that many of the other candidates will have spent as much as I have by election day because there is still a lot of time left for campaigning,” Pavao said. “When there are so many issues and so many candidates, I hope that my ap proach to the campaign will be success ful.” Waldorf has spent $3,921 on her campaign, which has been funded through contributions. She said she did very little to raise the $5,160 in contributions that she received. “We sent out letters to people who we thought would like to donate funds to the campaign, but most of the contribu Whose Responsibility Is It?

She also said contributions were impor tant because her campaign committee de veloped a budget that had to be met. She wanted to have top-quality election mate rials to reach a lot of voters in a limited amount of time. “It was important to me to have good campaign materials because I cannot go door-to-door and meet every single voter,” she said. “I needed to have brochures and pamphlets that were informative and help ful to my campaign.” Pat Evans said she thought it had been necessary to spend the $2,445 she had spent. “I think that the people who are not incumbents have to spend more money to be successful because the incumbents have had their names out in public longer.” Evans has received the most money from contributions than any other town council candidate, with $5,565. But she has not yet spent all of her contributions because she wants to advertise and send out more campaign paraphernalia before election day. “I was advised to hold half of my contributions for paying for the news paper advertisements and campaign letters that will be sent out the day before election day,” Evans said. She said she did not send out letters asking for campaign donations, but she did send an empty envelope with her cam paign brochures. “The envelope was not only for campaign donations, but citizens could send letters telling me that they wanted to volunteer for my campaign. Pavao said he sent out a brochure and letter to Chapel Hill voters encouraging donations. Pavao collected $3,469 in cam paign donations, which was third among town council candidates. “I started my campaign very early, and UNIVERSITY & CITY it was necessary to have some money for the campaign because I had planned to spend around $5,000,” Pavao said. Out of the 11 candidates running for town council, Joyce Brown, Barbara Powell, Ken Rudo, Scott Radway and Jeff Snyder either have spent or received less than $1,400 on their campaigns this year. Radway reached the SI,OOO-plus mark spent on his campaign when he spent enough money Thursday to make his grand total on campaign expenses $1,309. He received $425 in contributions and is using $1,200 of his own money. “I don’t think that it is necessary to spend a lot of money in Chapel Hill to get elected,” he said. Powell said she exceeded the SI,OOO mark in contributions this weekend. “I just want to get my views out to the public without having to spend a lot of money,” Powell said. “I am not an ex travagant person, and I am not going to spend my money on unnecessary things.” Brown, who is seeking her second term, said she had used her own money and had not accepted any contributions. “I don’t think that it is necessary to spend so much money because I am using the same strat egy that won four years ago,” she said. Snyder said he did not want to exceed spending SI,OOO on his campaign. “I tried to run an economical campaign by staying undersl,ooo,” Snydersaid. “Ithinkthatl will do well if people look at the issues that I support. If voters go forapick-out-of-the hat routine for more well-known candidates, then I will not do very well.” Rudo did not accept any money from his friends, because he told them he wanted to do his campaign on his own. “I consider my message more important than spend ing money,” he said. “I have gotten my message out without having to spend $5,000.” Green Games Winner to Get Pizza Party BY HOLLY RAMER STAFF WRITER The residents of Olde Campus Upper Quad, winners of the Student Environ mental Action Coalition’s Green Games competition in September, will receive a free pizza party Tuesday. The area, which includes Grimes, Mangum, Manly, Old East, Old West and Ruffin residence halls, led the campus in overall efforts to protect the environment through recycling, water conservation and energy conservation. SE AC created the Green Games project this summer and instituted the program in September. Neil Buckley, co-chairman of the SEAC subcommittee that organized the Green Games, said the contest was modeled on similar programs at Harvard University and Tufts University. Ameena Batada, co-chairwoman of SEAC, said the competition was a way for students to work together within their resi dential areas. “Green Games is an inter-dorm compe tition between housing areas, ” she said. “It is based on the water consumption, energy consumption and recycling of each dorm. Each month, all these factors are measured and the area with the best totals wins.” The physical plant measures and tabu lates the results for each dormitory, Buckley said. “They take the energy and water-meter readings and recycling information each month and compare them to figures for this month last year,” he said. “We calcu MAYOR FROM PAGE 3 Caldwell said he wanted to establish better relations with Chapel Hill and with the University. He also planned to re-ex amine the traffic study in downtown Carrboro. “Is there really a problem other than those 30 minutes in the morning and those 30 minutes in the evening?” he said. “We need to look more closely at what exactly O Almighty God, who hast knit together thine elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of thy Son Christ the Lord: Grant us grace so to follow thy blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys which thou hast prepared for those who unfeignedly love thee; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, in glory everlasting.

The Olde Campus Upper area reduced its energy consumption by 1.7 percent, reduced its water consump tion by 16 percent and increased its recy cling by 36 percent. Other areas made larger improvements in one of the three areas, Buckley said. Hinton James Residence Hall increased its recycling efforts by 65 percent, and Ehringhaus’ water consumption dropped 19 percent. Residents of Henderson Resi dence College, which includes Alexander, Connor and Winston residence halls, de creased their energy consumption by 4.8 percent. Overall, residence halls used less water and recycled more, but energy consump tion increased for the month, Buckley said. Because temperatures have been higher for the month than they were in 1992, the increase in energy consumption can be attributed to more air conditioners being used, Buckley said. Ben Boggs, area director for Olde Cam pus Upper Quad, said he was proud of the residents of the area and the Green Games competition. “It’s a credit to the residents, and their commitment to recycling and being energy conscious,” he said. Although Boggs said many students might not be aware of the Green Games, he said the fact that students showed such commitment to recycling was commend able. “Probably a lot of people aren’t really this problem entails.” Kmnaird said that if re-elected, she would continue to be very responsive to citizens. “Carr Court, the branch library and the town commons have all been my respon sive efforts,” she said. “Ifa citizen calls me with a problem, I immediately go out and see what the problem is and what I can do about it.” Caldwell said he would involve and represent all of Carrboro if he won the ALL SAINTS’DAY Monday, November i £:ij p.m.,The Holy Eucharist: Rite Two Preacher: The Rev.

Brian Davidson, a sophomore from Asheville who lives in Grimes, said he and his roommate hadnotpaidmuch attention to the Green Games contest but that they did make an effort to recycle. Davidson and his roommate Rod Schultz said they were not aware the dormitory’s water and electricity consump tion also were measured in the competi tion. “I didn’t know anything about that,” Davidsonsaid. “Basically, we recycle when the bin starts overflowing onto the floor, we drink enough beer to go out there and recycle about once every two weeks.” The pizza party will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Olde Campus Upper Quad area. Residents should bring their own plates and cups, as well as their room keys for identification. election. “Some citizens feel they haven’t been adequately involved,” he said. “I’d like that to change, and I’m committed to in volving more citizens.” Kinnaird said she has helped the town change progressively in her three terms as mayor. “I have changed this town more radi cally than any mayorever has,” she said. “I don’t want to see a change back to passive government.”
