the theme of his cam

Neil Kodsi is a sophomore economics and
speech and communications major from
Charlotte.
Kodsi said the theme of his campaign was
"Let your voices carry." He said, "People
run for a representative position but then
vote for their own voice, not that of their
constituents.
"I feel that as an elected representative,
it's not a leadership position, but a job to
represent constituents, to poll people and
see what they want. It always bothers me
to see people run and then vote against their
constituents. A good leader must always be
a good follower."

Bill Peaslee, a jun

"I have experience,"
Peaslee said. "I'm the

I was on the Finance
Committee, and I'm ,
familiar with how the

Peaslee said the allocation of student fees
would be the major issue facing the new

Diane Sisson is a sophomore biology and

"IVe met some people on the CGC, and
I thought it would be- interesting," Sisson
said. "I think I can do a good job repres
enting Granville. A lot of representatives
now on the CGC are very conservative or
very liberal and don't vote for what's best
for students, or vote more on what they think
that what students think. It's important that
students be represented."
Sisson also said, "It's important to get

ask aggressive questions concerning specific
spending. Last year's council was very
passive in asking questions."
Griffin said he and several other candi
dates favored refunding unspent money to
students by means of a fee decrease.
As a graduate student, Griffin said, a
' major goal of his is supporting activities that
would benefit graduate students.
Finally, Griffin said: "I can vote fairly and
consistently without offending anyone,
because I don't have to pad my resume. I'm
already in grad school."
Gunter said that he wanted a rape
awareness program at Granville similar to
those elsewhere on campus. He also said he
would look into the alcohol policy on
campus and in Granville. "I would try to
get a student policy rather than have the
administration give us a stricter policy," he
said.
Gunter said he opposed a fee increase.
"With $30,000 coming back, I just can't see
an increase," he said.
Gunter promised to be hard-working,
dependable and consistent, saying he would
attend all meetings and vote according to
the wishes of his constituents.
expected to revert to Student Government
at the end of the year, he didnt support
a fee increase. "We could refund the money
to students or give it to charity or use it
for some CGC-sponsored function," he said.
Hill said that he was concerned about how
student money was spent and that he didn't
support funding social programs of student
groups. "The CGC and the University put
on enough social events that the campus can
attend," he said.

experience. "I know what goes on in Student
Government," he said. "And I think most
students will support the views I hold on
the issues."
Kodsi said he thought the CGC should
learn more about the various groups that
received student fees. "Clubs like the debate
team do important things for the University
that don't get considered during funding,"
he said.
Kodsi also said he was interested in
starting an all-campus function, similar to
Springfest, at Granville.
Kodsi said it was not the CGC's respon
sibility to bring up issues, but to respond
to them.
He said, "I have no strong ideological
beliefs that will compel me to do something
against the wishes of my constituents."
"that dispels any idea of a budget crunch."
Peaslee said he would introduce a refer
endum on student activity fees, saying he
would move to lower them.
Peaslee also said he would aim to focus
the , CGC on campus issues. "I dont want
. to talk about South Africa, about Nicara
gua," he said. "We've got the Young
- Democrats and the College Republicans for
- that. If we talk about campus security or
parking, we can have a much greater effect."
With regard to security problems, Peaslee
said he thought the improvement of lighting
on campus was a positive accomplishment
of this year's council. He added that he
would try to begin a foot-patrol program

with problems.
"More than half of the residents of
Granville are female," said Sisson. "I can
see their point of view better, and 111 try
my hardest to do what they want."
Sisson said security was an issue that
female residents were especially worried
about. She said she favored more lighting
and emergency phones on campus.
Sisson also said he CGC budget process
needed to be improved.

Foltz said she was concerned about the
increases in dorm rent. "I don't agree with
the rent increases. I'd like to find a way to
get around that," she said.
Foltz said she would try to know more
about her constituents views. "I would go
out and find a positive way of involving their
ideas," she said. Foltz said she would put
suggestion boxes in dorms, post a newsletter
and inform residents of issues.
"As a freshman, I could offer some, new
ideas, and I have a lot of time ahead of

Schiller noted that

that the was the dis

didate for CGC.
"Since there are two
positions for my district, there should be

Schiller listed three main projects she was

the CGC," Garland said. He added that he
would hold regular constituent meetings in
dormitories.
Garland said that he wanted to fight the
conversion of Old East and Old West into
office space and that he wanted a reduction
in student fees.
"A lot of student organizations probably
padded their budgets. From what I under
stand, a lot of money was left over after
distribution. By tightening the budget, we
could reduce student fees," Garland said.
"I could provide effective representation
for students," Garland said. "I think I have
some good ideas for programs on campus."

Neuringer also said he would work to keep
Old East and Old West as dorms and not
office buildings. "They're traditional build- -ings,
part of the history of the University,"
he said.
Neuringer said he wanted to promote
greater awareness of the CGC among STOW
residents. "I'd like greater communication
between the STOW Executive Council and
the district representatives," he said, adding
that he would start some sort of monthly
newsletter.
"Politically, I'm middle-of-the-road,"
Neuringer said. "I listen to both conservative

said.

"A lot of the things I pledged to work
on for last year weVe been working for,"
she said, "but I think we could still make
progress on them." Sitton said she would
continue working for longer, library hours

Sitton said she also wanted to work for

the CGC does."
Brown said that he viewed the budget
process as the most important task for the
CGC and that his experience last year as
a CGC legislative assistant would serve him
well. "I helped write some bills, worked with
the executive branch and did administrative
things," he said.
Brown said he wanted to set up a meal
card co-op on North Campus, citing the
success of a similar program on midcampus.
He also said he had ideas about how to spend
the $30,000 expected to revert back to
Student Government at the end of the year.
"It would be very worthwhile to invest
some of that money to getting Chapel Thrill
started again," he said.

Association)."
Parker said that the CGC should pay more
attention to the ratings of the qualitative
committees and that "the budget process is
not the place for political statements in terms
of funding or not funding certain groups."
Barker also said the CGC should devote
more time to campus issues. "They spend
too much time debating and pronouncing
on issues that don't really affect UNC."
"My experience as business manager of
the Course Review has given me a lot of
valuable insight as an outsider . . . ," Parker

Riemann mentioned drop-add and the
housing situation as areas of concern. "I'm
interested in seeing that the dorm renova
tions dont interfere with the lives of Olde
Campus students, that overruns dont cause
shortages in housing space.
"I want people in my district to know who
their representative is and for them to
contact me when they have a problem with

make a tremendous amount of money that
can be but back into student organizations
or to charity."
Schiller also said she would work for
cutting student fees. "Last year, the CGC
appropriated all its money and claimed a
budget crunch, but $30,000 reverted. There's
been an oversaturation of funding. Money
should stay with the students," she said. The
CGC might use Chapel Thrill as a profit
maker in order to reduce student fees, she
said.
Finally, Schiller said she wanted to
institute a campus watch program where
groups of students would patrol campus. She
said the also favored improved lighting on
campus.

Brown also said he was interested in

that he thought the Campus Watch program

could find a fairer system.
"I can be fair," Graves said. "I wont
promise anything I cant do, I will try to
be there and listen to what my constituents
