tadenlts - By JAMES BENTON and ROBIN CURTIS Staff Writers The following students have announced their candidacies for residence area governor: David Smith, a sophomore polit ical science major from Banner Elk, is running unopposed for Hinton James Residence Area governor. Smith said he sees a need to address issues concerning Hinton James residents, like resident parking. He said he plans to work to prevent any parking on the tennis courts located between the residence hall and the Smith Center. Brian Sipe and Roni Harbert are candidates for Scott Residence Col . lege (SRC) governor. Sipe, a junior business major from Hickory who is seeking re-election, said he plans to continue concentrat ing on dormitory programming among the five halls, and is inves tigating converting unused space in residence halls into recreation rooms or exercise rooms. In addition to his present position, Sipe has served as a Student Congress representative and as a student representative to the vice chancellor's traffic and parking advisory committee. Harbert, a senior political science Candidates discmss mioority involvement at elections fforaum By HELEN JONES Staff Writer Candidates for Daily Tar Heel editor and Residence Hall Associa tion president expressed their views about racial issues on campus at a forum sponsored by the Black Stu dent Movement Wednesday night. Donna Leinwand, Jean Lutes and Kathy Peters, the three candidates for Daily Tar Heel editor, discussed the need for more DTH coverage of minority groups and for minority recruitment of staff writers at Wed nesday night's BSM forum. "I would like to open up more lines of communication," said Leinwand, former state and national editor. Talking to black student leaders about events in advance would help the DTH better plan its coverage, she said. Lutes, former university news editor, said she would run a race relations column on the editorial page if students express an interest. Peters, former Omnibus editor, said staff members too often limit themselves to Pit activities. The DTH should cover more minority activities like the speech by black writer Maya Angelou, instead of focusing on racial conflict, she said. The three candidates also discussed ways to get more minority students involved with the DTH. Leinwand said her experience in the UNITAS program has helped her understand the position of minority students. She said it's hard for blacks to walk into the predominantly white DTH office, but she would work on recruiting minorities from the School of Journalism. Lutes said her plans to increase the staff would include minorities. She said she would hold staff meetings to encourage communication and a sense of belonging among staff members. Peters said she would try to reach minorities by distributing fliers around campus as part of her efforts to recruit more diverse writers. Residence Hall Association pres ident candidates Paula Zellmer, Jimmy Randolph and Barry Cobb addressed minority students' con cerns about life in the residence halls and discussed the division between North and South Campus. Zellmer said increasing the com munication between residence halls would increase awareness of minority needs. "The overall problem is lack of north-south communication," she said.

Mp for dectioe to residence area governor posts and speech communications major from Lincolnton, said she wants to start a peer hearings board composed of SRC residents to review disciplin ary warnings. This board would ensure that resident advisers actions are valid and that SRC residents concerns are addressed fairly.

Harbert has served as an Avery Residence Hall floor senator for two years, president of Avery in 1986-87 and is currently social chair of Avery. Jason Sheppard and Kurt Seufert are candidates for Henderson Resi dence College (HRC) governor.

Seufert said he would establish a ride board for the HRC desk and re- Campus Elections Campus. Getting the areas to mix more will also help erase the negative image of South Campus," she said. Randolph said the RHA should increase residents' satisfaction with their own dormitories first, then branch out to deal with campus-wide problems to combat the separation between campuses. "Integrating the campuses is a self perpetuating problem because resi dents who like where they live tell others to live there too," he said. Cobb said opening up residence hall programming to include more minority groups would lessen the cultural gap between North and South Campus. "I would tell dorm presidents to take" advantage of minority groups," Cobb said. "Subgroups of theJJSM; like the Ebony Readers and the Gospel Choir, could be a big help to residence areas without successful programming and could help spread cultural awareness, also." Carol Geer, who is seeking re election as Carolina Athletic Associ ation (CAA) president, responded to questions about minority participa tion in the CAA and block seating. Geer said the success of the Black Greek Council's stepshow last semes ter was an encouraging sign of campus-wide involvement by minorities. Creating more block seating in the Smith Center is a touchy subject, Geer said. The CAA is considering adding five more blocks, she said. Tonsion ,rom e 1 and Joe Dean, state secretary of crime control and public safety met with Hatcher and Jacobs and their attor neys on Monday to discuss the alleged corruption and discrimination in the county. "We had a candid exchange and will meet again," Kirk said in a statement. "To say anything else would be counterproductive to mean ingful results in the future." Since the hostage incident received national attention, the prospect of change appears brighter, the students agreed. "It's a step in the right direction," said John Jacobs. "At least it's getting public attention." Students say they hope that the investigations will produce some concrete results, although racial tensions may be slow to disappear.
