Superior Court in March, Cary council members Julie Robison and Jack Smith, who have been ordered to repay money borrowed from public .funds when they cam paigned for office, recommended that Chapel Hill adopt the VOE program. “I believed in the validity of the ordi nance,” Robison said in an interview Monday. “If Chapel Hill is to pass the VOE, they need to weigh carefully what statutory authority they need from the (N.C.) General Assembly.” Heagarty, too, said that if Chapel Hill can get the General Assembly’s approval, the town will avoid issues that have caused Cary problems. Mayor Kevin Foy said there still are questions he plans to have answered after the town manager and town attorney review the draft and a committee studies the legal issues of public financing. Foy said, “The hurdle here is: are we allowed to do this, and do we have enough time?” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. THE Daily Crossword By Gregory E.

The BSM’s Web site, www.unc.edu/student/orgs/bsm, lists all the demands. Members said they are encouraged by past interaction with administrators, and they anticipate successful collabo ration as they discuss new demands. “I’ve been pleased with the adminis tration’s apparent willingness to work with us," said Jasmine McGhee, chair woman of the BSM’s Political Action Committee. “I think that’s a show of good faith, but there’s a lot to be done.” Davis said she also will be looking more closely at the BSM’s role on cam pus and will work on making the 22 Demands a reality. “The University is basically run as a hierarchy, and we can’t just submit the demands and expect them to be met.... We have to work at it,” she said. The re-evaluation of the list is an important duty of the group and should be done regularly, members said, but the major issues remain the same. 3 Business 4 _ and Scruggs 5 Single-celled organism 6 Bay of 7 Truth stretcher 8 Sea eagle 9 Dead turf 10 Drive in Beverly Hills 11 Cash drawer slot 12 Bombard 13 Look at 21 Saginaw Bay's lake 22 Heavenly harpist 25 Originate 26 In the neigh borhood 27 Messages by computer 29 Swallowed 30 Bar rocks 31 Light wood 32 Zodiac ram 33 Canines and bicuspids 35 Come to a con ' 2 3 T~ 6 7 IT"""'0 11 12 13 " S "" H| __ nm ~ —mmm 25 26 |29 30 34 35 ””"“■■■37 42 ““"■■■43 ■■■■44 45 ■■■46 147 48 ”””"■■49“ ““ hhhiso imp— -60 K ■■■62™ “™‘ sS Sglf From Page Three “We are a movement, so we’re ever changing our message and the specifics of our goals,” McGhee said. “But regardless of what our particular demands are, we will devote our energy to our overarching goal that is improv ing the environment for black people in the Carolina community.” Davis said she plans to meet with McGhee before she begins her evaluation of the demands and that this should take place before her meeting with the provost Davis said she expects that many of the demands in the list will remain unchanged, particularly ones that have not been met. BSM members originally presented the New 22 Demands to the late Chancellor Michael Hooker. “If Carolina is to live up to its mission of being the university of the people, we must do so in every part of this University and for every person that makes up this University community,” McGhee said. McGhee said that during her four years as a member of the BSM, many objectives have been reached, but she said a lot of goals still remain to be achieved. “Hundreds of years of no access, past and current oppression - that is not something that can be fixed in one year or four years.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

It also calls for an increase in Orange County’s transportation fund ing, which council members said is the second lowest in its division. But the council is not asking for the increased funding on good faith, Foy said. “The Regional Transportation Alliance is coming up with examples so the General Assembly can see exactly how the money would be used,” he said. Legislators and council members explored several new options for raising revenue to support basic town functions while increasing funds for transportation. A registration fee for UNC students using cars in the county was one of the methods discussed. “Most students have their cars licensed at home, so we get no benefits from their license fee," Insko said. Kinnaird said legislators also are talk ing about the merits of anew tobacco tax. She added that reliable sources say Easley is considering a tobacco tax pro posal but that any tobacco tax increase would have to be substantial to affect state and local revenues significandy. The legislators seemed optimistic about collaborating with the council to achieve its goals, but Hackney said it still is too early to tell whether legislators - especially numerous Republicans - will favor the council’s proposals. Andy Romanet, spokesman for the N.C. League of Municipalities, agreed with Hackney. “Like everyone else, we’re waiting to see how this legislature flushes out.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
