Union appoints president
for 1983-1984 term
By HEIDI OWEN
Staff Writer
Lucia Halpern, a sophomore from
Charlotte, has been selected as Carolina
Union president for the' June" 1983-June
1984 term. ' 1 '
Halpern,' chosen Thursday by the Union -Board
of Directors, will replace Wayne
Plummer, 1982-83 Union president.
"We had three good candidates running
for the position," Plummer said. "Even
though the other two are rising seniors,
Lucia had an amazing amount of ex
perience in a variety of areas."
Halpern's experience includes serving on
the Union Forum Committee, the Steering
Committee of the Student Development
Council and serving as chairman of Stu-v
dent Government's Liaison Committee.
She has also been a freshman camp
counselor, a "Big Buddy" in the Campus
Y program and a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma Sorority. Halpern is a Morehead
Scholar and N.C. Fellow as well.
"All of the activities I've been involved
with have given me experience for the posi
tion in varying ways for dealing with things
such as programming," Halpern said. "I
worked closely with the Board of Educa
tion in high school and that taught me how
to work with business leaders and the ad
ministration, which will help me to carry
out the job of Union president."
She cited the Union's campus role as the
reason she applied for Union president.
"Primarily, it is the greatest resource of
extracurricular activities for the majority
of the students at UNC," she said. "I very
much believe in the types of programs of
fered." Halpren plans to continue and further
develop the quality and the quantity of the
Union's programs.
"I want to offer more programs that will
enable students to think about different
ideas," she said, adding that she wanted to
present more foreign films, documentaries, f
and seminars on social issues, as well as

issues of state and national policy.
Halpern's first job as Union president
will be to select chairmans for the twelve
committees, which she said "will actually
set the tone for the Union."
Applications for these positions will be
available Monday, Feb. 14 at "the Union
desk, and Halpern will be interviewing ap
plicants starting Tuesday, Feb. 22. -
Halpern encouraged students to apply,
even those without previous Union ex
periences. '
- About 20 members for each Union com
mittee will then be selected by the hew
chairman, she said.
"These people will play very active roles
in the Union, and are more directly involv
ed in deciding which programs will be pro
vided by the Union," Halpern said. "I'd
like to have a 'diversity of students on the
activities committees, so that all students
will be represented in the Union."

High
cost
of
housing NCARH topic
By LISBETH LEVINE
Staff Writer
UNC hosted about 180 students from 13 North Carolina
universities, as well as students from Florida and South Carolina
this weekend at the fourth annual conference of the North
Carolina Association of Residence Halls.
Following the theme of the conference "Residence Hall
Realities" Saturday's programs included a seminar describing
how the price of room rents is determined, N.C alcohol laws and
studentadministrator relations.
"The goal was to provide delegates with basic knowledge on
how to operate a successful residence hall association," RHA
President Scott Templeton said of the conference.
Jody Harpster, acting director of University housing, explained
how the increase in student room rent was determined each year.
Although this year's proposed rent increase has not yet been
approved, it will rise between 5 and 20 percent, Carolyn FJfland,
associate director of University housing, said Friday.
The room rent increase is required to be posted before the last
day of lottery sign up in case students wish to withdraw their ap
plications, she said.
The costs of utilities, salaries, repairs and bond payments con
stitute about two-thirds of the University budget, Harpster said.
Because these items predetermine most of the housing budget,
"any budget cuts are going to come out of student services," he
said.
Since University housing is self-supporting and receives no
money from the state, he said the rent increase is based on the dif
ference between the estimate costs for the following year and the
estimated income.
The department obtains estimates from the utility division on
the increase in electricity, fuel, water and sewer charges, Harpster
said, adding that about 35 percent of the budget was strictly for
utilities.
Then University housing department salaries, which are fixed
by the state, and salaries for campus police and student
employees, such as RAs and desk attendants, are computed, he
said.
' Another major portion of the budget goes to pay for the bonds
on the dormitories. Harpster said that the department had no
control over this amount.
Housing obtains income from room rent, rent and utility costs
paid by the snack bars, and utility and janitorial fees from the
laundry rooms. -
The budget must then be approved by several adrninistrators,
any of whom can call for a revision, Harpster said, and the
chancellor has Final approval.
In another of the NCARH seminars, Carol Badgett, an at
torney with UNC Legal Services, conducted a program on N.C.
alcohol laws and their application to dormitory parries.
Citing the illegality of giving or selling alcohol to a minor,
Badgett said, that "trie minor is a problem and the minor is going
to be more major if the drinking age is raised."
She offered suggestions for a dormitory party that would less
likely lead to violence or arrests for Driving Under the Influence.
Dormitory parties should include some other event besides
drinking to take the focus of the party away from alcohol,
Badgett said. Non-alcoholic beverages, as well as snacks, should
also be available to help reduce
the amount and effect of the
consumed alcohoL
She suggested having a few
people around to drive intox-
icated guests home.
A third NCARH conference
focused on improving stu
dentadministrator relations by '
having each side define its role . .
concepts and expectations of
itself and its counterpart.
Students' most frequent com- .
plaints were the pressures of set-

trators' programs that conflicted with residmts' wishes, and fit
ting in with an administrator's 9-to-5 schedule.
On the other side of the discussion, administrators pointed out
that they existed in a very political environment.
"There are some times that we cannot giv e students top priori
ty," said Bob Tomlinson, director of residence life at UNC
Greensboro. "If our decision could adversely affect enrollment or
alumni support, we have to be aware of that."
Responding to a question asking why iidministrators some
times kept incidents, such as a rape on campus, concealed from
other students, Tomlinson said it was usually to prevent the stu
dent body from overreacting or panicking.

mittee chairperson for the Union.
Stephanie Bircher, Performing Arts Commit
tee chairperson, reported 40 missing posters
publicizing a recent Triangle Dance Theater
engagement.
And last weekend, someone stole a 6-foot-high
poster for the Barnum Broadway show
valued at $35 to $40 out of the Union,
McElhaney said.
"It went on all last semester," McElhaney
said. "But with the Prince concert, it's incon
trollable. I caught a few people taking them,
and they have been really ugly about it."
Union officials agree that the rash of poster

All Campus Y members are eligible to vote

Court between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Andrea Stumpf and Ken Smith are nmning
unopposed for the co-presidency; Mark Joye,
Hadley Calloway and Michael O'Reilly are vy
ing for the male co-treasurer position, and
: Melanie McAllister is running unopposed for
the female co-treasurer post; and Jody Smith,
Jennifer Ayer and Amy Fonville are competing
for the position of secretary. Candidates for the
member-at-large and advisory board member-at-large
positions are on the ballot.
thefts is the worst they have seen, and say that
more expensive, more durable forms of adver
tising may have to be used in the future.
The Union has lost about $100 on the theft of
the Prince posters alone, and workers have
resorted to tearing the posters in half to
discourage thieves.
No dice. "They were still gone almost as soon
as they were put up," McElhaney said.
The remaining Prince posters are now being
watched carefully by Operations people in the
Union, he said. The ones up are Xerox copies
which cost only a penny per poster.
Since Union officials pay for conceit promo-
voter
tion materials out of the student fees allotted to
the Union, the poster theft essentially amounts
to "students ripping off students," he said.
Wayne Plummer, 1982-83 Union President,
said that he had spoken, to Student Attorney
General Bill Kimball about the problem. The
Instrument of Student Judicial Governance pro
hibits the destruction, theft, or other misuse of
University property, according to Kimball.
Plummer said he and other Union officials
consider the poster thefts an Honor Code of
fense, and are ready to take any offenders to
Honor Court.
From page 1
"Most people have decided that they can live
with or without a spring concert or live with or
without a cooking policy," Evans said.
"A lot of people tend to think that whoever's
elected will do all right," Evans continued.
"And most candidates, with the obvious excep
tions, are qualified.
f'But Student Government does do things for
the student and there are differences in the can
didates. One will represent them better than the
other. And students should make their
preferences known."
The less serious candidates, such as current
student body presidential hopeful Hugh
Reckshun, do make some contributions to cam
pus politics with their campaigns, Evans said.
"They do a service in pointing out the short
comings of Student Government," he said.
"That kind of candidate does reflect the
students' attitude that student government is a
joke and that perhaps student government does
take itself too seriously."
For whatever reasons, it is clear that students
during the past several years have become in
creasingly less interested in campus elections.
But each election is a new one and today
students may follow the trends or reverse a
rather old pattern.
