Sty? Soilg (Tar Hppl REDISTRICTING From Page 3 ' English classes and the Pier One program. The worth of a plan was evaluated based on diversifying the student body, balancing school enrollment and estab lishing safe walking zones while mini mizing the number of relocated students. Board members remained cautious while anticipating next year’s enrollment. Scroggs said growth rates in elemen tary schools have decreased during the past few years due to economic strain. “When the economy grows, we’ll probably get hit,” said Scroggs. The plans also aimed to lessen “orphaned” districts, which are districts that divide elementary districts into sep arate middle and high school districts. Students in the fifth, eighth, 11th and 12th grades will be “grandfathered,” or allowed to remain in their current schools, in the new plan. The board received an overwhelm ing response from the community, pri marily from families in redistricted Redistricting The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education approved an elementary redistricting plan that moved 1,015 students in the area to anew elementary school. / /A —McDougle / g’ N \ c C \j B —Carrboro j A ° F /C Seawell I A] j D— Estes \ ) b \Yf Nv j E Ephesus j iM’n' E 11/ F— as^‘s xT* G G Glenwood j H j H F.P.

Franklin Street neighborhoods such as Booker Creek Apartments and Lake Hogan Farms, which were two controversial areas with regard to school zoning. Resident Lara Dudley, who favored revision 3v3 B and C, joked, “Being redistricted is just part of living in Chapel Hill.” Just before passing the plan, board member Elizabeth Carter offered her condolences to parents in Lake Hogan Farms, many of whom favored the 3v3 G 1 revision. “It hasn’t been an easy decision,” she said. “You remind us of how we got to our seats. I see so much compassion (for your school), you so much wanted to be there.” The committee approved the high school redistricting plan, which would send rising ninth-graders to East Chapel Hill High School instead of Chapel Hill High School. “The committee was unanimously [in favor with the] public, which is pretty rare in redistricting,”said Stuckey.

William Teeter, manager of the defense, said the prosecution seemed to be applying the Code loosely. “If you follow the Code, there is no way you can impeach (Shah).” Teeter cited specific technical errors in the articles filed by the prosecution and said they needed reworking before being viewed in the full Congress. A question-and-answer session fol lowed in which Margaret Thomas, chair woman of the Ethics Committee and a member of the Rules and Judiciary Committee, questioned the validity and reason behind the charges brought against Shah. “It seems like it’s the Ethics Committee that deals with members of Congress, not bills of impeachment.” But Anderson and Liles said the sever ity of the charges warranted evaluation from the Rules andjudiciary Committee. A motion was made by Thomas that the bill of impeachment contained alle gations of fact that were not supported by evidence, but it was overruled 3-1. After contentious debate, the com mittee called for a five-minute recess, after which they came to a majority con sensus. However, Thomas still dissented. After the meeting, Russell said that she was satisfied and that she looks forward to seeing the facts come out at the hearing. Hiller also said he was satisfied. “I think that tonight would have gone much smoother if members of the defense had understood that this is about severe allegations and not any kind of playground vendetta.” Orr said the committee made a fair choice because of the evidence presented. But Teeter disagreed. “As far as 1 can see, in my own opinion, there is no sub stantive evidence.” Shah said the evidence brought forth by the prosecution was weak. “I just want ed to laugh at the evidence, honesdy.” From now until Monday’s hearing, Teeter said, he and Shah will be gather ing evidence and writing arguments.

If you build a presence and a relationship, they are more willing to talk to you.” Current student body president Jen Daum said she has learned many things while working with administrators and other officials. “One of the things I learned is that members of administration and the BOT genuinely do care,” she said. “The decisions that they make are not made out of spite but out of the best interests of the University.” Aside from serving as co-chairwoman of the Tuition Task Force and as a mem ber of the Chancellor’s Committee on Student Fees, Daum said, the student body president has many opportunities to contribute to the University. “It’s been great,” she said. “I never BARKSDALE From Page 3 “You’re in competition with a lot of people,” he said. But Barksdale already has started to break into the industry with intern ships at McCann-Erickson • World Group and Momentum. He is also president of the American Advertising Federation’s UNC chapter. The group’s member ship is at an all-time high under his presidency, Lauterbom said. Barksdale said advertising has appealed to him for years because it is a field where he can use creativity. “This is the perfect thing for me,” he said. Lauterbom said that Barksdale is not a bystander and that he gets things done, something the American Advertising Federation values for the award. “Put it this way: if he was a horse. I’d bet on him.” To nominate someone who has made an outstanding contribution to the University community, e-mail features@unc.edu. <£SQMINAI!ON&^ REQUESTED^ For Chancellor’s Awards For Excellence in Student Activities & Leadership Nominations are encouraged from all members of the University Community Senior Awards Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award Irene F.

Shuttle program manager Ron Dittemore said that even though the possibility appeared remote, investiga tors must remain open to every option as they put together a so-called fault tree concerning the cause of Columbia’s fiery breakup just minutes before its scheduled landing Saturday. “The foam that shed off the tank and impacted the left wing is just one branch, and we are pursuing that,” he said. “Even though we scratch our heads, we’re going to pursue it, and we’re going to pound it flat.” Primary Area of Achievement Humanitarian contribution (one male, one female) Character, scholarship, leadership (female) Character, scholarship, leadership (male) Improving quality of life of the University community through principles of equality, dignity, and peace Leadership, initiative, creativity in multicultural education programs Member of the graduating class whose leadership and selfless dedication have strengthened the class pride and University loyalty, enriching the lives of seniors, and made the most significant contribution to the University Student self-govemance Recognizes the greatest contribution to the preservation and enhancement of the feeling of loyalty and goodwill Recognizes the principle of honor as one of the University’s most hallowed ideals Primary Area of Achievement Character, scholarship, leadership (female) Character, scholarship, leadership (male) Primary Area of Achievement Student publications Recognizes the greatest contribution to the quality of campus life or the efficacy of University programs for students through sustained, conservative participation in established programs, or through creative, persistent effort in development of new programs Given to a member of the Student Congress judged most outstanding on a criteria of statesmanship, commitment and constructive involvement in issues affecting the quality of University community Unselfish commitment, through service to the University and to the surrounding community International awareness and understanding Athletics plus co-curricular activities Primary Area of Achievement Awarded to the graduate/ professional student who has been judged most outstanding in character, scholarship and leadership Friday, February 7, 2003 looked over,” she said. “Administrators and legislators will try to take student concerns into mind, but they don’t always have the student perspective. That’s why it’s important for students to get involved with the legislative process.” Furthermore, the student body pres ident needs to act as the “campus cheer leader,” Heinke said. “When challenging issues come up, the student body president is a source of guidance and encouragement for mem bers of the campus community,” he said. Daum said every student body presi dent should be able to speak eloquent ly and effectively. “The ability to state a point clearly and articulately are necessary qualities of a student body president,” Daum said. “Also, they need to have a genuine passion for the University and student self-governance.” Heinke also stressed the need for effective communication. “The first step is to build, foster and open lines of communication,” he said. “You can’t do it by yourself.... You also have to remind yourself that you and the other members of your team have the opportunity to serve as the voice of stu dent concerns. That’s a very special role.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. Eighty-one seconds into launch, a 2.5-pound, 20-inch chunk of foam from Columbia’s external fuel tank broke off and slammed into the underside of the shuttle’s left wing. The accident investigation board, led by retired Navy Adm. Harold Gehman Jr., arrived at Johnson Space Center on Thursday and met with Dittemore and other shutde officials. NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe pledged from Washington that “everv single piece of evidence, every fact, ever) issue” will be checked. The board’s con clusions will be final and absolute. Before ruling out the foam as a cul prit, NASA will test its impact on the thousands of fragile thermal tiles that cover each space shutde. In addition, the entire analysis that was conducted during Columbia’s flight is being redone “to see if there was anything that we missed,” he said. 5
