Residents are wary of noise lev

ing Interstate 40. Safety issues
concerning overhead electric
transmission lines that cross the
property also have been a concern.
But Leber said some residents
resist the construction of afford
able housing out of fear of the kind
of neighbors it brings.

same court decided last week to
postpone the election in light of
the ACLU’s arguments.
The ACLU alleged that the six
California counties that still use
the outdated machines will over
look more than twice as many
votes than those counties using
more modern voting technology,
according to the decision.
The ACLU also stated that the
counties with error-prone
machines contain a higher per
centage of minorities than the state
as a whole.
The court’s decision Tuesday
dismissed this claim.
Brady said, minority percentage
might not be a valid consideration
due to the more glaring problem of
punch-card ballots' inaccuracy.

officials said they will continue to
discuss endorsing a potential
fourth candidate. “It was challeng
ing for us to choose, but these three
(candidates) had a great depth of
knowledge,” Leber said. ”We do not
feel comfortable endorsing a
fourth at this time.”

“No matter who’s driving the
car, it still flips over a lot,” he said.
“It’s easy for anyone to (cause an
error) with the punch-cards, so it’s
not a question of minorities.”
On both sides of the recall
debate, there was little doubt that
the Oct. 7 election date would be
reinstated.
“The individual weakness of the
panel’s argument coupled with the
strength of the argument of the
court indicated the final result,”
Pilon said.
But those in anti-recall camps
still deem the hearing a victory.
“It’s extremely difficult to post
pone an election, and few cases are
overturned (in courts of appeals),”
Brady said. “We’ve done the right
thing in sounding the alarm.”

sham-nesty program,” said Wendy
Seltzer, staff attorney for the EFF.
“It settles nothing with them.
The program only opens you up
for even bigger lawsuits down the
road,” she said. “All bets are off
with the program.”
The program does not offer
immunity from all copyright law
suits, only the promise from the
RIAA that charges would not be
filed if the agreement is adhered to.
Any user who does submit his
information to the RIAA could
have that information subpoenaed
by artists, record companies or
other owners of the copyrights.
“We’re offering comfort and
peace of mind for users who want
to avoid copyright lawsuits," Lamv
said.
The language of the affidavit for
the Clean Slate program, posted at
http://www.riaa.com, protects the
user’s information, except “if nec
essary to enforce a participant's
violation of the pledges set forth in
years or so,” Harris said. She attrib
uted this to not only economic con
ditions, but also the war in Iraq
and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks,
which, she said, have turned peo
ple toward service opportunities.
“They are looking at humanitar
ian options,” Harris added. “They
are looking to give back.”
Health care jobs continue to
the affidavit or otherwise required
by law.”
Selzter maintained that such an
amnesty is the minimum amount
of protection the RIAA could have
offered copyright infringers.
“They could have offered gener
al amnesty,” Seltzer said. “But they
didn’t. It’s obvious they don’t have
the public on their side right now."
Chuck D, the frontman for
Public Enemy and a leading indus
try proponent of online music dis
tribution, published his distaste for
the RLAAs copyright campaign in a
posting to his Web site Sept. 11,
2003. The influential rapper called
the RIAA tactics “pure gestapo."
“Don’t these idiots have some
thing else to do?" he wrote. “Aren't
there bigger and more pressing
issues regarding Americans?”

“At the close of yet another year as an OL, I am happy to say that
the experiences that I leave with will be some of the most treasured
memories of Carolina and the beginning of my adult life in general.
From the programs to the participants to the co-workers,
Orientation has made me a better person. I cannot begin to think
what my life would be like had I not gotten involved with this
wonderful program and all of its intricate dealings with all of the
differing departments on campus. I truly cannot think of a better
summer position for anyone going into almost any field."
Ramon Serrano, Senior Economics and History major, OL 2002 & 2003
“I am so happy that I had the opportunity to be an Orientation
Leader this summer. I know I learned a lot about myself in so many
ways. I feel like this has been a great opportunity. I really enjoyed
learning about campus. I feel the things I learned will help me at
Carolina and showed me the importance of knowing about
campus. I found out about opportunities I wish I had participated in
and I could share that experience with incoming students.
I am so glad that I was able to do this!"

soak up graduates as they enter the
nation’s work force. UNC and Duke
University hospitals employed at
least a dozen each, the survey
reported. Each has been a top
employer of graduates for the last
13 years, according to UCS records.
But the consulting and invest
ment banking firms that often lit
tered the list of top UNC graduate
employers just two or three years
ago, such as Accenture or Cap
Gemini Ernst & Young, have dis
appeared since the economic
downturn of 2001.
When Accenture came to UNC
three years ago, it interviewed about
30 students and hired about 25 of
them, Harris said. It since has
adopted anew recruiting strategy
and hires few out of college.
Banks such as Wachovia, BB&T
and Bank of America remain top
employers.
Technology firms also have
scaled back recruiting efforts on
campus. IBM, a perennial source
of employment for UNC gradu
ates, has remained on the list while
technology companies nationwide
have called for cutbacks.
“A lot of your (information tech
nology) companies you used to see
a lot of ... you don’t see a lot of
them anymore,” said Julie
Pendergraph, UCS’s recruiting
coordinator.

Meanw-hile, some new compa
nies such as Newell Rubbermaid
have burst onto the scene in the
last few years and are offering
more jobs to UNC students.
Stockamp & Associates Inc., a
health care consulting company
based in Oregon, is looking to
expand by as much as 20 percent
in the next year. UNC will be one of
its top three sources for recruiting,
said Chris Jones, Stockamp’s
recruiting director.
“We find that UNC students are
pretty well-grounded in what they
are looking for,” Jones said.
But even IBM and other com
panies that still recruit heavily at
the University do not beg UCS for
time with UNC students the way
they used to, Harris said.
“When they’d come they used to
take every interview room we had,”
Harris said. “They would try and
shorten interview meeting times
from 30 minutes to 20 minutes.”
But conducting dozens of inter
views does not mean that a com
pany has dozens of jobs to offer,
Harris said. And this means UCS
must continue the search for jobs.
She said, “We just want to be
right there with our 40 resumes on
the employers' desks.”
