And the primary schedule gives candidates a chance to cater to each state, said Chris Sopher. communi cations director for UNC Students for Barack Obama and a former Daily Tar Heel multimedia editor. "The campaign gets to reach out in a very specific way to a whole dif ferent plate of states.’ he said. Charissa Lloyd, chairwoman of the UNC College Republicans, said she thinks the length of the priman season has meant a more demand ing race for the candidates. They hare more chances to make mistakes, she said. "The fact that it gives so much time to put their posi tion out there everyone has a lot more time to slip up and flip-flop.’ Beyle also said that the lengthy primary season is unusually demanding and added that the schedule will weed out some can didates with shallower pockets. “A lot of the people who are run ning will have dropped out because they can't afford to stay in and they're not winning." he said. Although some Republican can didates have distanced themselves from the Bush administration, Lloyd said Huckabee's victory in lowa shows that Republicans still value social conservatism. Democratic candidates are all trying to sell themselves to disen chanted voters as agents of change. Pundits say Obama's promise of change was a large part of his lowa victory, leaving Hillary Clinton forced to defend her credentials on that score. ‘l’m not just running on a prom ise of change. I'm running on 35 years of change.' she said in a New Hampshire debate Saturday. Contact the Stated National Editor at stntdexk@unc.edu.

Kang said he knows work must be done by every one, everywhere on campus. “For dance groups, they need a foam floor, or else you have inju ries to dancers. The footprint needs to be large because they move around." he said. "And the same goes for theater groups. You can't do that in a shoebox." Allin said Kang s willingness to address the problem is necessary to continue improvement as far as rehearsal and performance spaces. “One of our original goals with the Student Arts Forum was to improve lines of communication between arts groups and the stu dent body." Allin said. "And I think one thing we may have overlooked at first is the line of communica tion between the University itself and those groups." Gifford said it is frustrating to wait for concerns to travel through proper channels until they reach SAFETY FROM PAGE 3 teams on each campus.

But Kang said he hopes more students recognize how willing UNC’s arts authorities are to help. “I don't want this to sound like we re the savior, but 1 think there are some solutions that can be had." he said. .And while communication alone is not the cure-all, openness to pro posals for change is becoming more widespread. Allin said. “1 don't think anyone is being unreceptive." he said. “There’s just a certain amount of inability when so much space is booked." Kang also pointed out that many student groups try to reserve the same spaces on campus for the exact coin."

His relationship with employ ees had its shaky moments, and his stance on “Approaching the Qu ran: The Early Revelations" as the 2002 summer reading choice was both praised and criticized. After he steps down June 30, Moeser will take a year's research leave and then come back to cam pus as a professor, probably in the music department. Now UNC and its Board of Trustees are in the midst of the search for his replacement With trustee Nelson Schwab serv ing as chairman of the 21-member search committee, officials expect to have someone in place the day after Moeser will relinquish the position. In December the committee and Bill Funk, whose headhunting firm is aiding the committee, reviewed about 100 nominations and appli cants. Since then, that number has been narrowed to about 40. “Geographically, from an ethnic standpoint, from an experience standpoint it’s quite a diverse group of people," Schwab said. The committee used most of the fall semester to solicit input from students, faculty; staff and alumni, as well as the Chapel Hill community. After several forums —some of which drew about 100 and others of which were poorly attended at just seven the committee agreed upon a position description explaining the desired characteristics of the next chancellor. One of the key features, as noted in the forums and com mittee meetings, should be a strong dedication to the Carolina way and public education. “The chancellor must be able to reach out to and translate (the spirit and need for UNC) to people of North Carolina, why they should value and support it" said Joe Ferrell, secretary of the faculty, presenting notes from the faculty executive committee at the Oct 30 forum. The committee has started inter viewing candidates, and Schwab said those interviews will continue into the next month or two. Funk, whom UNC is paying about SIOO,OOO, will begin obtaining more information about the candidates the committee is interested in, as well as schedule more interviews. The first round of interviews will be with just a few committee mem bers. Schwab said, and as candidates move along in the process, the inter viewing groups will grow larger. “The people you’re interview ing have existing job*. It's realty a scheduling issue more than any thing." Schwab said. “That's the kind of person you want someone who now has a lot of responsibility .’ The UNC chancellorship is a unique position because the University is part of the public sector but also one of the leading institutions in the country. Balancing those dual roles is key to a successful term as chancellor, especially when translated into compensation. Moeset's salary, $390,835 per year, now falls below the average of leaders at UNC's peer institutions, which is about 5455.000. The next chancellor's salary has not been decided. “Anyone you might wish to con sider who insists that Carolina match or better their current 5700,000-or-more salary should be dismissed from further consid eration," Doug Dibbert, president of the General Alumni Association, said at the first forum in October. Although interviews have started Schwab said applications and nomi nations will still be accepted. The committee is on track with the timeline to have someone in place this summer, Schwab said, adding that at a meeting later this month, committee members will discuss the names they've reviewed so far as “serious candidates." ‘The quality of the applicants will determine our pace."
