STUDENT CODE
FROM PAGE 1
extensive, said former student
body president candidate Matt
Liles, who many Congress mem
bers credit with the idea to over
haul the code. “We tested the sys
tem this year,” he said. “We really
pushed the bounds into what the
Board (of Elections) could do.”
Article IV, Section 402 C of the
Student Code states that the chair
man of the BOE “is responsible for
placing each administrative and
punitive decision in writing within
24 hours.”
Anderson said that there was a
need for the board to review the
charges and make them valid
before making them public, and
that therefore the decision should
be posted 24 hours after it is made
not that a decision should be
made within 24 hours.
When the BOE decided to hold
closed hearings regarding the
investigations into the election
controversy, another issue of much
debate was whether the BOE was
considered a public body and sub
ject to the N.C. Open Meetings
Law.
The only public body that is sub
ject to the statutes is Student

Congress, not the BOE, Anderson
said.
The revised code will address
that issue by being rewritten based
on the N.C. Open Meetings Law.
But Anderson said the BOE
probably would still not fall under
the definition of a public body.
Elyse Ashburn, editor of The
Daily Tkr Heel, said that because of
a 1996 agreement reached between
the UNC-system Office of the
President and the N.C. Press
Association, many student govern
ment bodies don’t fall under the
N.C. Open Meetings Laws.
“If Student Congress and stu
dent government want the Student
Code to mirror the N.C. laws, the
Board of Elections would clearly be
a public body,” Ashburn said.
She said that several lawyers
have indicated that state election
boards are some of the most open
bodies in state government, and
that if the Student Code indicates
that the BOE is not a public body,
then it is not in line with how such
boards in the state are viewed.
But Slain said opening the
investigation would have affected
its integrity.

closed until deliberation was nec
essary to ensure the integrity of the

process,” he said.
Congress officials said the BOE
wanted to assess the validity of the
charges brought against the candi
dates before making them public,
so as not to damage someone’s
campaign with claims that had not
been verified.
“All information needs to be dis
closed to students,” Orr said.
“But that information should be
given at the right time and the
right place.”
Ashburn said the investigation
could have fallen under reasons to
close a meeting.
“Certainly the BOE should have
the right to close a meeting,” she
said.
“But I don’t think they should
have a blanket ticket to close a
meeting for whatever reason.
“They should be held account
able and have a good reason indi
cating why they close a meeting.”

and Judiciary Committee of
Student Congress.
Committee Chairman Luke
Farley said the committee will
enlist student involvement by
holding public hearings regard
ing prospective changes to the
code.
Farley said he wants to foster a
more welcoming atmosphere for
students that always existed but
hasn’t necessarily been taken
advantage of.
“The emphasis hasn’t been on
student input, and that’s what
I’m interested in changing,” he
said.
Once legislation is approved,
both student government and
University students will benefit
from the up-to-date document,
said Jordan Mendenhall, chair
man of the Student Affairs
Committee.
“We’ll have a code that’s consis
tent, contemporary and concise.”

Pieces of fuel rod
go missing in Vt.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTPELIER, Vt. - Two
pieces of a highly radioactive fuel
rod are missing from a Vermont
nuclear plant, and engineers
planned to search on-site for the
nuclear material, officials said
Wednesday.
The fuel rod was removed in
1979 from the Vermont Yankee
reactor, which has been shut down
for refueling and maintenance.
Remote-control cameras will be
used to search a spent fuel pool on
the property, officials said.
“We do not think there is a
threat to the public at this point.
The great probability is: This
material is still somewhere in the
pool,” said Nuclear Regulatory
Commission spokesman Neil
Sheehan.
But Sheehan said it is possible
that the spent fuel was mixed in
with a shipment of low-level
nuclear waste and ended up at a
repository in South Carolina or a
facility in Washington state.

He said it also was possible that
it was taken to a nuclear testing
facility run by General Electric,
which designed the plant.
The material would be fatal to
anyone who came in contact with it
without being shielded properly,
Sheehan said.
Spent nuclear fuel also could be
used by terrorists to construct so
called “dirty bombs” that would
spread deadly radiation with con
ventional explosives.
The rod was part of the fuel
assembly used to power the reac
tor. One of the missing pieces is
about the size of a pencil. The
other piece is about the thickness
of a pencil and 17 inches long.
“It would be very difficult to
remove this material from the site
without somebody knowing about
it,” Sheehan said. “It would set off
radiation monitors.”
Sheehan cited the heightened
awareness of the need to control
nuclear material that followed the
Sept. 11 terror attacks.
