Jolley said the DTH’s advertisements present a different problem. “I see how much the groups have to pay and how much it hurts their budgets.” Kevin Schwartz, general manager of the DTH, said student groups pay Bull’s Head Bookshop invites you to a reading by Claude A.

If the Jolley rider were to pass, the loss of advertising money to th-DTH would be minimal, but the loss of pub licity for student groups would be exces sive, Schwartz said. Rep. Dara Whalen, Dist. 8, said Student Congress was targeting the DTH and not looking at other groups. “This is, in effect, a student body boy cott without the benefit of the full stu dent body making the decision.” Jolley said he would like the execu tive and legislative branches of student government to work together to see if the DTH would lower its rates. “If this can be done, then we can probably take the rider off the bill at full Congress.” UNIVERSITY Professor stresses importance of United Nations to America BY VARINTHIRA DUANGUDOM STAFF WRITER Bereket Selassie, a professor in the Department of African studies, will speak on “America and the United Nations: Old Problems and New Challenges" at 7 p.m. today in the Union Cabaret. “The title of my lecture is America and the United Nations because America is the principle organizer of die United Nations,” Selassie said. “The U.N. was Tuesday f fnuwv • ■ z:?‘ yOtOfi **BwQfvT created in San Francisco in 1945, and the major draft men were Americans. Many of the ideas for the U.N. have always been advocated by America.” Selassie said he would try to demon strate, through his lecture, the continued importance of the United Nations to the United States and the world. RULING FROM PAGE 1 know what she would have against me.” Dicks said the burden of proof was on the plain tiff to present accurate information to help his case and that she was not responsible for presenting proof before the Student Supreme Court. But Brad Morrison, who represented Herold in the case, said Herold’s name should have been on the results that Dicks presented to the Student Supreme Court. “Why should I have to provide the facts?” he asked. “It’s their place to do that.

Chris Busby, a senior from Clinton Comers, N.Y., and the president of the Carolina Union Activities Board, said the Last Lecture program was valuable to the campus. “The Last Lecture Series has done a lot to improve student faculty interac tion,” Busby said. “The program also helps to prove that there is an intellectual climate on cam pus.” As part of the Last Lecture series, professors are allowed to speak on any “I think there is a serious problem if the facts pre sented before the Supreme Court were incorrect.” Dicks said she did not present results that used Herold’s name but emphasized that she had made the Student Supreme Court aware of Herold’s sit uation. “I did admit to the court that there was a Chris Herold running in that district, but I did not con firm how many votes he did receive,” she said. Dicks said she believed the Student Supreme Court ruled in favor of districts 4, 8 and 9 because the candidates won by such a majority that it was unlikely that the computer malfunction affected them, while Herold only won by one vote. disagree, and I can simply state very clearly why I support the program and believe in helping fund it. I am opti mistic we are going to restore funding to this program.” Student Body President Aaron Nelson said he was disappointed that the committee did not see the impor tance of students supporting a diverse community. “Minority Student Recruitment is a tangible way that we as students can show our support of that diversity.” Campus Calendar 6 p.m. The Campus Civitan will meet in Union 208 to plan for the ARC dance, hear a report from the national conference and for DINNER!

The selec tions the committee makes are based on student input. Jim Yavenditti, a senior from Alma, Mich., and the special projects chair man, said he has had a class with Selassie. “Selassie is just an amazing man, he should have some amazing stories to tell everyone,” Yavenditti said. “Right now, he is actually involved in writing the constitution for an African country.” Selassie serves as the chairman of the Constitutional Commission of Eritrea and is the former attorney general of Ethiopia. 1 9 ELECTIONS FROM PAGE 1 received a majority vote in the Feb. 11 student-body elections.

The fire has raised concern among University students about fire safety. Mandy Lowder, a junior from New London, lived next to F-6. She said she realized that a fire could happen to any one. “It really opened my eyes as to the possibility of a fire being real,” she said. Lowder said she now thought that mandating sprinkler systems was a good idea. “I think sprinklers probably would have reduced the damage,” she said. “I don’t think a smoke detector should be the only (safety device).” Warren said ordinances require only smoke detectors in apartments. In the wake of the May 12,1996 Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house fire that killed five people, the need for sprinklers in multi-family dwelling units became a key concern in the community. The Chapel Hill Town Council passed an ordinance requiring sprinklers in fraternity and sorority houses and all new apartment complexes. However, it did not require old apartments to install sprinklers. Fox said he did not know of any plans to install sprinklers in the apart ment buildings. What is it?
