Although fewer students tend to vote in such runoffs, these elections should be close enough and the choices to be made distinct enough to draw a fairly heavy turnout. The Daily Tar Heel already has endorsed Scott Norberg for student body president. Norberg's experience, knowledge of the issues facing Student Government and clearer grasp of its role make him .better qualified than runoff opponent Joe Buckner, Student services have been the focus of Buckners campaign, and as director of student services in Student Government last year he was impressive in organizing programs such as the Rape Escort Service, Fraternity and Sorority Transport and Student Tutorial Aid Referral. Still, Student Government should be more than services and clever acronyms; the president must act as a welMnformed advocate for students, ' influencing administrators and affecting University policy. Norberg's experience indicates that he can handle this responsibility while effi ciently managing the other areas of Student Government- including student services. V . In the race for CAA president, Jake Kelly surprised many observers by leading in the first election. Her principal qualifications are partici pation on the junior varsity tennis team and boundless enthusiasm. These attributes, however, are also her weaknesses. Kelly sees the CAA as a sort of booster club for'Jayvee and minor sports teams, and has suggested that the CAA act as a fund-raising organization for non revenue athletic teams. Kelly would have the CAA supplement the ath letic department in providing support for athletes, but the athletic de , partment does not seem to need any supplementing. Steve Theriot, conversely, offers a clearer idea of the CAA presi dent's role as a students representative to the athletic department. He hopes to bring continuity to a post that, has had little in the past and has suggested a practical proposal for reorganizing the CAA's struc ture. Theriot would handle the .4uti.es 'of CAA president effectively while setting an important precedent of organization. As last week's close races proved, a dozen or so votes can swing an election. In the two races still to be decided, Norberg and Theriot have the best grasp of the issues they would confront as student body presi dent and CAA president and the avenues available to best deal with them. But whomever students support, they should exercise their voice in Tuesday's election. Then, with a clear mandate in hand, the winners can put campaigning behind and get on with the business of running their offices and improving The University of North Carolina. President Ronald Reagan wasted little time in letting the American public know he meant business when he said the federal budget had to be cut. Reagan's hatchet man, Budget Director David Stockman, also wasted little time attacking what he considers excessive and wasteful government spending. Stockman, a 34-year-old bachelor who once led leftist causes as a stu dent at Michigan State University, has wowed even the most skeptical since coming to Washington less than a month ago. His grasp of the most minute details in the federal budget has left Democrats and Republican, liberals and conservatives, impressed and somewhat more optimistic about Reagan's chances of success. Stockman knows what he wants to do and, more important, he apparently knows how to do it. He plans to cut in a wide-range of areas from social services like food stamps to aesthetic programs like arts and humanities. These cuts will amount to $13 billion in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 and perhaps $40 billion in 1932. The extent of this budget-cutting makes it clear that gaining the approval of a skeptical Americans will be one of Stockman's most difficult chores. In virtually every area ripe for cutting, there are a host of people and special-interest groups prepared to battle Stockman and Congress. That a fiscal war is.imminent rartnot be denied. Many of Stockman's cuts are brilliant. The fraudulent waste that ex ists in many government programs lends itself to a knife-man like Stockman. Yet, there are other programs that cannot be cut without leaving lower-income people desperately hurting. Cuts in food stamps, aid to cities, child nutrition and federal assis tance to college students, which will affect about 4,000 students at Carolina, are not so easily made. That Stockman has sharpened his scythe is admirable, for all of us must sacrifice if the economy is to recover. However, in his excitement to rid us all of government excess, Stockman should take careful pains to distinguish between the "undeserving" and the unfortunate. Other wise, Stockman the wonderman is likely to become the grimmest of all reapers.

I . : S! i ic !'v. f s! tt 88th year of editorial freedom To the editor: We must accept the fact that no election can be run perfectly and that a certain margin of error is inevitable. But. last , Tuesday's campus elections have clearly exceeded any acceptable boundaries: sig natures not required in James, ballots left unattended in several locations, the Cra:e polls closing 45 minutes early, poll work ers obviously unaware of their responsi bilities or election laws, etc., etc. . The Elections Board's many short comings during the election are perhaps excusable. Their conduct during the ; hearings of last Thursday night is not. It was a meeting characterized by confusion, an inability and an unwillingness to grapple with the stated laws, and above all, a desire to be done with it with as little trouble as possible. Again and again, complaints and irregularities were conveniently dismissed as "inherent in the system," and therefore factors over which the board had no responsibility or control. I would like to single out Tom Jessiman's case. Section 50 of the Election Laws states that certification of election results must depend on "Affirmation that no Election Law violation, or other elections .irregularities have been detected which could materially affect the outcome of the election." In a race as close as that for DTH editor, where Jessiman needed only 19 more votes for a runoff and 80 votes to win outright, how can the clos ing of Craige polls 45 minutes early be dismissed as immaterial? Furthermore, Thomas Sharpe's investigation into al leged James violations only determined, that the poll tender had brought the sit uation under control. He did not deter mine that violations had not occurred. Many members assumed that they had no authority to call for a re-election on the basis of the Craige case. Under this logic, the Elections Board would be un able to call for re-elections if half the polling boxes had been closed by noon. Perhaps their rationale is best summar ized by board Executive Assistant Deana Williamson, who said that members had decided to certify the election results be cause they knew Jessiman could appeal it to the Supreme Court. Passing the buck was not the function of the Elections Board hearings. If any thing, the board might have redeemed , itself by recognizing the importance of election law violations and deciding that a re-election for certain races was the only equitable option. Instead, the whole process was a farce, and election results : remain questionable. It should be hoped that future Elections Boards will not only take steps against unacceptable problems "inherent in the system" but will take responsibility for their own mistakes. Jonathan Rich E-12 Carolina Apartments Editor's note: Jonathan Rich was cam-' pa'tgn manager for Thomas Jessiman. Ouckner To the editor: As state affairs director and executive assistant to the student body president and third-ranking official in the 16 campus UNC system of student govern ments and as student body treasurer, we have had a chance to observe and work with both Scott Norberg and Joe Buckner. Though both candidates have excellent credentials and experience, we are con fident Joe Buckner has the necessary personal qualities and skills to assume the responsibilities and duties of student body president. Norberg's experience as an executive assistant and aide to the chancellor committee coordinator clearly cannot be overlooked. But the position of student body president requires more than an ac cumulation of credentials. Norberg's ' platform includes provi sions to use staffers to support student groups and to raise the noise ordinance limit beyond 75 decibels. He will also work for a trial book rental system and recruitment of minority students. AH of ; these proposals are now under consider ation by the present administration. Though Norberg's ideas are not bad, we prefer Joe Buckner for president be cause he has from the beginning empha sized that one of Student Government's most important functions is acting as an t By DAVID POOLE ENGLISH RHDTEHM INSTnUCnONS: :Choo one of the fclkmns questions.

Being an ad vocate of the students does not necessarily mean being adversaries with the offices of the University administration. The main function of Student Government should be to act as a liaison between stu dents and administrative offices, and not as ah organization constantly in con flict, with University officials. Anyone who thinks Student Govern ment can functioneffectively without . good student-administrative relations is terribly wrong. Buckner is the only can didate to emphasize diplomatic relations as an issue in the campaign. " Students we have talked with say they want someone with new ideas. Buckner has shown innovative leadership and ' creativity by developing programs to deal with campus security and academic deficiencies Rape and Assault Preven tion Escort (RAPE) and Student Tutorial Aid Referral, respectively. As director of student services, the largest cabinet post . in Student Government, Buckner ex panded Action Line, which serves as a general information center for student complaints and a referral for Student Tutorial Aid Referral and the Fraternity and Sorority Transport Service. More importantly, he believes Student Government must participate fully to en courage recruitment and admission of minority students and that the office of Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs is a step in that direction. Further, he has pledged to work with Vice Chancellor Harold Wallace and the Black Student Movement in this effort. Chancellor Christoper C Fordham III, in his installation address, stated the traditions of the University "... will re quire a high motivation and commitment by our students, a sorting out of serious purpose from trivialities, but with a light heart and a steadfast refusal to take one self too seriously...." , . The one who represents the student body should possess the spirit of high . motivation and commitment. Joe Buck . ner has this spirit and will bring to the office leadership experience including but not limited to Student Government. . Moreover, the ability to motivate large numbers of people is clearly a skill needed over the next year. Darryl Smith - Executive Assistant to the Student Body President Rochelle Tucker Student Body Treasurer Theriot To the editor: This year the clear-cut choice for CAA ' president is Steve Theriot. The other can didates for CAA lack the original ideas and respect for the student body that Theriot is offering in his campaign. The "ideas" of Kelly are the same campaign prbmises that I've Heard the past two years. Steve Theriot is the obvious choice for CAA president. Because Theriot worked for the CAA, he has both the experience and insight to be a successful CAA presi dent. Theriot's insight into the CAA has given him the ability to come up with the ideas to make the CAA a more effective part of Student Government. Theriot is thus my choice for CAA president. - Gray Jolly 109 Lewis Mann in GPSF To the editor: The runoff election for GPSF president presents all graduates and professional students with a stark choice. The results of the vote could have a profound effect on the ability of the GPSF to act as an advocacy organization for graduate interests. Because we are such a small minority of the student population, the greatest need of graduate students is unity of purpose. If we are to protect our student revenue allocations and our scholarship money, then we must work together, regardless of our political ideologies. One of the candidates in the runoff election has openly promised to "politi cize" the office. Andy Harkov, with the backing of a small (but highly organized) group of political purists, intends to use the GPSF to promote his own views on controversial issues such as abortion. Never mind that the GPSF hasn't the (mm (DmszieZy cmt a.m. to study some more. I woke my mother up and I still remember the conversation. "What are you doing up?" Mom asked. 'lm studying," I said.

A candidate who runs for a non ideological office as an ideologue cannot hope to represent anybody ether than those who accept his own viewpoint. Robert Mann, the other GPSF candidate has talked of the real issues of the cam paign. He has called for a survey to , ascertain graduate views, for open com munication, and for protection of grad uate rights. His non-judgmental and unifying view of the office represents the best way to ensure the effectiveness of .the GPSF. Graduate students don't need anybody to tell us how to think about - sensitive and non-relevant political issues. We do need somebody dedicated to work ing for the good of us all. Robert Mann is such a person and the best candidate for GPSF president. , Ray Warren School of Law Editor's note: Ray Warren was a candidate for GPSF president. Vsnd snbsrgh for CGC To the editor: As a resident of CGC District 23, 1 have been very concerned about this district's representation on the council. I want to urge the members of this district to vote for Mike Vandeabergh for CGC represen tative. ; - v Mike will be a strong representative. He plans to post in each fraternity and sorority house in this district a monthly CGC news letter and to visit each house from time to time. The newsletter will also be posted in central locations for those, who don't live in fraternity or sorority houses. Mike be lieves the CGC should be more active in asserting student opinion through referenda, . which have been effective in the past, on issues such as the noise ordinance and the food service. As a member of the North Carolina Fellows Program, Mike has worked to create a new advising pro gram, and a pilot program will begin next year. I have tremendous respect for Mike's judgment and his ability and desire to get things done. I know Mike Vandenbergh will be an excellent CGC representative for District 23. . Ruthie Leaver - 406 Ransom Street Course revisw To the editor: The Carolina Course Review is, in principle, an evaluation service for the use of students and faculty of UNC. However, due to problems with pro- , gram used for the Spring 193 issue, this i mosl recent. Course Review is clearly flawed. The bar graphs used to represent ' student evaluation of classroom teaching, course value, individual attention, text- books, tests and grading, and difficulty are completely invalid. For this reason, the chairmen of the Spring 193 1 Carolina Course Review retract this publication, with sincere apologies to both faculty and students. Ellen C. Starr John C.

For this, we need a person with integrity. I can hardly see how a person can be called "creative" for finding a loophole where he could shadily buck propriety. Then this person uses this loophole to create a personal image, which turns a ccmpeli-. tion originally based on platforms and issues into a popularity contest. Visions of high school pep rallies enter my mind. But that's not the whole problem. What about us students? Have we fallen for it? Have you ever wondered how many people the Fraternity and Sorority Transport Service has actually helped out? Was the Par obstacle course really a one-man project as is implied by a certain campaign pamphlet? What is integrity when one must be prodded to tell the truth? Are we fooled by a political car toon which appears defensive but in reality is so offensive that it must be accompanied by an editor's note? How about an editorial page story "reporting" on another candidate's fra ternity membership to the degree of call ing the fraternity a political machine? The mid-campaign timing and rude irn . plications made by this story deem it offensive. Politics may be politics, but Student Government is still Student Government, nothing more nor less. I hold this philos- ophy and encourage you fellow students to at least weigh the choices. Compare the experience and the issue awareness of the presidential candidates. Be critical, be informed, be independent. It's your duty .to yourself. Please don't vote for a plat form as ambiguous as one that focuses on "motivating people." or that makes light of sexual abuse in the forums in order to break the ice. Vote for ideals and, most importantly, vote for yourself. , Tom Taylor Tim Harper and 12 others Morrison Residence Hall Scundcrs, Shsdroui kudos To the editor: It's election time again and I, for one, am not looking forward to it. Choosing sides in the race for DTH editor was one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make. Student body president wasn't quite as hard, but still difficult. But, I guess anytime you have to choose be tween friends you're in for some sleep less nights. But it's always more fun to watch a race in progress. It's not so exciting to .look back on ones already won. By that I mean last year's races which gave us Bob Saunders and George Shadroui. ; Bob Saunders has never been a show- man and he's not a silver-tongued orator, either. What he is, though, is an honest, sincere individual who has very quietly and without a lot of flash, run a fairly efficient student government. And he hasn't given any money to the Marxist government of Nicaragua or given away "our" Panama Canal. What he has done is a good job and the new student body president would do well to emulate him. George Shadroui has proven to be one of the few truly liberal-minded people in the universe. He's an editorialist that you have problems disagreeing with sim ply because he thinks before he writes. And I think some of that thought fulness may have rubbed off on some of the other writers, although I always found it easier to disagree with most of them. But, he too has done a good job and the new DTH editor would do well to emulate him. 1 guess what 1 'm trying to say is that in the midst of all this election rigamarcll we tend to forget all the time and effort and grades some very dedicated people 'have sacrificed. Bob Saunders and George Shadroui are two such individuals. They deserve our sincere thanks. I'm giving them mine now. Joey Hollcman 330 Ehringhaus be bemt.
