Moeser also said he hopes students will
express their concerns to him by commu
nicating with members of the Student
Advisory Committee to the Chancellor.
“We need to do a better job of communi

and the general student body,” he said.

raise the price you’re paying.”
But Campbell said he understands that
raising tuition is necessary to keep UNC
among the top universities in the nation.
Write-in candidate Nathan Katzin
said he is not opposed to future tuition
increases if the revenue from those
increases is designated for important
University needs and students who can
not afford to pay the increase are cov
ered by financial aid.
Katzin said he is not opposed to this
year’s recommended increase because
the uses and need for this increase have
been effectively laid out.
He said he believes the topic of tuition
should be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis. “There’s not a catch-all magic wand
approach," he said. “Tuition is a balanc
ing act that differs with each situation.”

Important
Forum Notice
To the University community:
Carolina’s Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee (TPAC) will hold
three campus community forums on Feb. 5 to give faculty, staff and students
the chance to weigh in on what direction the University should take in trans
portation and parking for the 2002-03 permit year and beyond.
The forums will be: jli|i
10am to noon f&Bs
School of Social Work
Tate Turner Kuralt Auditorium
2pm to 4pm
4th Floor Clinic Auditorium
Old Clinic Building
spm to 7pm
Student Union Film Auditorium
Each forum will begin with a presentation giving an overview of parking and
, p£Ms transportation as the system now exists at Carolina. While TPAC has not yet
' developed recommendations for next permit year, which begins Aug. 18,
2002, it has been examining several issues and evaluating options. It is the
rSUff committee’s hope that, at the Feb. 5 forums, members of the campus com
munity will voice their thoughts on these issues and options. They include:
, • Cost increases and potential revenue sources.
• Possible institution of night-parking program.
• Possible changes in cost of parking permits.
It is important to note that TPAC has tabled until March its discussions
regarding whether the University should change resident-student parking
rtnm\ and parking-permit allocation. This means that these issues will not be y itr
SL examined at the Feb. 5 forums and, furthermore, that no changes will be rOS
j made in these areas for 2002-03. !’ •)
SET** T TPAC will consider feedback from the forums as it develops recommenda-
Sl| | tions for next year. These recommendations will be submitted to the
|Pv H University administration and-ultimately-to the University Board of
Jc I Trustees possible adoption in March 2002. Any approved changes would not
|lj take effect until Aug. 18,2002.

representatives to voice their interests."
Student Body Vice President Rudy
Kleysteuber, SACC chairman, said the
committee asked the chancellor to com
municate to the student body that he
values student opinion - something
Kleysteuber says the members of the
committee have known all year.
“(Moeser) has his own vision for our
University,” he said. “But he doesn’t
want to leave out student input on the
creation of that vision.”
As an example of how student views
might shape his decisions in the future,
interests regarding tuition can best be
communicated by negotiating the compo
nents of an increase with administrators.
“One of the problems with past stu
dent governments is a blind knee-jerk
reaction to tuition increases,” McKinney
said. “Animosity is not necessary with the
(student-administration) relationship.”
He said that when future increases
are discussed, more attention must be
paid to whether the money generated by
the increase will improve student life.
“It’s important that the money goes to
the right things, and it’s student govern
ment’s role to make sure that happens.”
Candidate Brad Overcash said he
would establish a student group to inform
students of UNC’s financial needs.
“What I want to do is have the research
and knowledge in place when we take the
first step in raising tuition,” he said. “Then
we can go ahead and address these prob
lems before a decision is made.”
He said he would also improve dia
logue between students and administrators

Moeser said student concerns influenced
his decision - announced Friday - not
to establish a satellite campus in Qatar.
“Critical to my decision was the feed
back I gathered from faculty and from stu
dents, especially at the student seminar on
Qatar," he said, referring to a class offered
to students the end of last semester, whose
participants reported to the chancellor.
Moeser also said student concerns
about the value of a UNC degree and the
satellite campus being inaccessible to non
residents of Qatar influenced the devel
opment of the University’s proposal.
by founding an annual student summit
that would give student leaders the chance
to convey their concerns to the chancellor.
“I think that will, at the least, end his
perception that students don’t care.”
Candidate Charlie Trakas said he
would support continued increases in
tuition because of the state’s current eco
nomic situation. “Charlie Trakas believes
in tuition,” he said. “Instead of downsizing
in a down economy, we should expand.”
Trakas suggested diverting attention
away from tuition by starting a conflict
with a neighboring university. “If UNC
went to war, it would take everyone’s
mind off tuition increases,” he said. “We
could go to war with Duke.”
Candidate Bennett Mason said he
would take a diplomatic approach to
improve students’ chances of learning
about tuition proposals in advance.
Mason said he thinks protests against
this year’s recommended tuition increase
were ineffective because they were made
.too late to influence the BOT’s vote.

Kleysteuber said the chancellor has
always valued student opinion but that
Moeser has previously worked at
schools where students were not as inter
ested in the decision-making process.
“I think (Moeser) has always been of
the opinion that anyone who has a view
point should be heard,” Kleysteuber said.
“But I think he never realized just how
much students at Carolina want to share
their opinions and express their views.”
The University Editor can be reached
at udesk@unc.edu.
“By the day of the meeting, I think the
BOT members had already made up
their minds and it was not best to march
in protest,” he said. “A better solution
would be to carry out a meeting in a
closed session the day before the vote and
bring the student concerns with you.”
Candidate Fred Hashagen said stu
dent government must be more
adamant that administrators conduct
open meetings during times when stu
dents can attend and be heard.
He also said student government
must mobilize student support for effec
tive protests against tuition increases.
“I’ve been a part of meetings where
diplomacy has been exhausted,” he said.
“Once you’ve proven that you can
mobilize and are willing to mobilize, the
administration becomes much more
welcome to suggestions, and they will
come to the table.”

deciding which is appropriate for the

college. “Obviously it would cost some
more than others,” he said. “(But) others
