4The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, February 21, 1989 Meet the candidates foir area, residence hall governor By JAMES BURROUGHS Staff Writer Students who live on campus can vote today for area and residence hall governors, the residence hall officials who oversee hall government. Governors also supervise individ ual residence hall presidents in their area and sit on the governing board of the Residence Hall Association (RHA). The governors.of 10 areas make up the board. Craige Sean Wells, a junior business administration major from Jackson ville, is the only candidate for Craige governor.. Increasing student involve ment and available activities are the most important responsibilities facing the Craige governor, he said. "It's pretty much common knowl edge that Craige is one of the most apathetic dorms," he said. Student involvement can begin with social events and fund raising, he said. Wells, who served this year as Craige treasurer, said he was familiar with the planning process and the needs of students. "I think people are really pleased with what the govern ment has done this year, and I think they'd like to see it continued, so that's what I'm going to do." Ehringhaus Todd Martin, a junior industrial relations major from Charlotte, is the candidate for governor of Ehringhaus Residence Hall. Martin said the Ehringhaus area has had a good year, but enthusiasm and spirit in the dormitory needed to continue through the entire year. "Right now, there are no specific complaints or problems in the Ehringhaus area, but if there are any .

Martin said as Ehringhaus treas urer for two years he had learned how the office of governor works. Granville Towers Granville Towers has one candi date for governor, Kyle Herod, a freshman business administration major from Sanford. Herod said his main goal would be breaking down the barriers that separate Granville from the campus. "The role of the governor here at Granville would be to reach out to the other areas of campus, making it more unified," he said. Herod said safety would also be a main concern, and he would continue to support SAFE escort and investigate establishing a SAFE outpost at Granville. Henderson Residence College Cathy Rhea, a sophomore psychol ogy major from Richmond, Va., is the only candidate for HRC gover nor. Unifying the area and organizing a greater variety of social programs will be her priorities, she said. Activities like ice skating and hayrides could be added to existing programs, she said. Rhea also said a recycling program and a community service project are ideas she will consider as governor. "Ideally, I'd love to start some kind of service project for the area," she said. Opening up the dormitories to children for trick-or-treating or working with the Campus Y are ore mm AN CD PLAYER win . rr among the possibilities, she said. Rhea also said she supported a buddy system for area residents as a rein forcement to the SAFE escort program. Hinton James Two candidates will compete for the position of governor of Hinton James Residence Hall. Scott Burkett is a sophomore chemistry major from Statesville. Burkett said he would plan more fund-raising and social events to increase student involve ment in the campus and community. South Campus security and residence hall life are the primary concerns of a South Campus governor, he said. Burkett said an extra year of experience makes him more qualified than his opponent in representing the interests of South Campus residents. "I know the campus bureaucracy well enough to where I can address the campus needs of Hinton James better," he said. The other candidate, Nick Fran zese, is a freshman political science major from Lake Mary, Fla. Increased communication with stu dents would be his priority, he said. "A lot of people in Hinton James aren't aware of how dorm govern ment works," he said. "I want to see better communication between dorm governors and residents of Hinton James." An expanded computer room, a new VCR room and improved park Foundation By RHETA LOGAN Staff Writer A grant from the UNC Educational Foundation has brought the class of 1989 $50,000 closer to its senior gift goal of $500,000 for an endowed professorship. The endowment is the largest ever attempted by college students. The money will be raised during the next five years through senior pledges and a grant from the N.C. General Assembly. Seniors hope to raise $300,000 of the endowment through a pledge phonathon Feb. 27 through March 2. That amount, coupled with the grant from the Educational Founda tion, will total $350,000, which will qualify the class for a $167,000 grant from the General Assembly. Legislation passed in 1985 states that the General Assembly will match private funds of $330,000 raised for an endowed professorship with a grant of $167,000. To receive the grant from the General - Assembly, seniors would only have to raise $283,000 through Service helps students find -employment By BRENDA CAMPBELL Staff Writer The Student Part-Time Employ ment Service (SPTES) is serving more students and has more jobs available for students to choose from because of increased publicity around campus and local employers' involvement. As many students were placed in part-time jobs during January as were placed during the entire fall semester, said Paul Bredderman, director of the service. Increased publicity is responsible for the improvement, Bredderman said. "We sent out a mailer to local employers, about 600 employers," he said. Molly Fitzgerald, volunteer in charge of public relations, said: "We had a lot of response about open jobs. If we get those jobs filled, the employers more than likely will call back with new openings. "We will also be sending postcards to the departments on campus to find out what jobs are open for those HAIRLINES- 175 E.Franklin St. (Above Four Corners) 968-4327 GsGOOs We've WOLFF TANNING BEDS Walk-in or call for an appointment ing and recreational facilities at Hinton James are among the changes Franzese said he would work toward. Morehead Confederation Two candidates seek the position of governor of the Morehead Con federation. Heather Bannister, a freshman business major from Raleigh, said the lack of activity among residents in her area has been a problem this year. "I would like to see an increase of activities within the Morehead Con federation," she said. Social activities, academic programs and opportuni ties to meet professors are possibil ities, she said. "1 hope as Morehead governor I could encourage the presidents to get more activities going," Bannister said. Kim Williams, a sophomore jour nalism major from Greenville, said making the residence hall a place where students will want to live and meeting student needs were two of her main goals. Better relations between students and the housing department is a must, she said. "My major philosophy is that the (residence hall) government is the liaison between the residents and the housing department," she said. Stu dents should be made more aware of the housing lottery and student activities, she said. Williams has been involved in dormitory government since her freshman year and is executive pledges the phonathon, because $50,000 added to that amount would total $333,000. But senior class officials set a higher goal as a buffer in case the entire amount cannot be raised, said David Adams of the Senior Class Gift Committee. If the $300,000 goal is not met, the seniors will still use the amount they raise to fund the professorship, Adams said. About 250 senior volunteers will call their classmates during the phonathon to ask them to pledge $200 over the next five years. Students will pay off the pledge in increments, paying $10 upon gradua tion in May and increasing their payments every October until the $200 total is reached. Seniors will be notified of their pledging commitments by the Univer sity's development office, which will handle the gift campaign when the seniors graduate. Seniors need 1,500 members of their class of 3,400 to pledge the money to reach the $300,000 goal, people who need a job on campus." The SPTES staff of volunteers has been increased to meet the service's growing demand, Bredderman said. "We used to have four or five volunteers. Now we have about nine or 10," he said. "One of the biggest problems that we had was that we were not in the office enough. That was because we did not have enough volunteers." Because the staff has added a few more members, the service's office hours have been expanded, Fitzge rald said. "We are working on being more accessible for the students," she said. "We are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. almost every day." The large number of responses from the local businesses have made a wide variety of jobs available, Fitzgerald said. "We can help a student find a job that they might not have found on their own by just looking on Franklin Street," she said Moved! .$:?:WfcS:SS, VISA. secretary of the Morehead Confederation. .'..'. Morrison Aundrea Creech, a sophomore education major from Selma, will be the only candidate for governor of Morrison Residence Hall. Promoting social and academic activities and increasing the attendance at functions will be a main concern, she said. Governors and resident assistants should have better relationships so the two can work together with the same purpose, Creech said. "I'm really enthusiastic, really energetic and really excited about it, and I think 111 do a good job because of that," she said. Olde Campus Michael Schmier, a sophomore history and Russian studies major from Valdosta, Ga., is the only candidate for governor of Olde Campus. Schmier said student apathy and better communication among students were two issues he planned to examine. "I think there needs to be a stronger link between the student government and the student body," he said. Meetings with all residents of a residence hall should be held twice a month to keep students informed of housing information and other campus issues, he said. Schmier also said he would work to landscape the barren areas of Olde Campus. Scott Residence College money to Adams said. The gift committee has secured 100 pledges so far through informal campaigning at UNC organizations, like the Young Democrats and various sororities, Adams said. The committee hopes to have 300 more' pledges by the end of the week, he said. The $50,000 and other funds will be held in escrow until 1994, when the General Assembly's grant will be added. The professorship will be presented to the University at the seniors' five-year reunion, and inter est accumulated from the $500,000 will be given to a faculty member who has shown excellence in undergrad uate teaching. A committee made up of officers and marshals from the classes of 1989 and 1994 and University administra tors will select the faculty member to receive the professorship. The endowment will be funded only with the interest accumulated from the $500,000, so the entire amount will always remain intact and gather interest to be given to a faculty "There are a lot of baby-sitting and office jobs available," Fitzgerald said. "But there are also jobs that could give a student some experience needed in the future for their career. "People need experience for a resume or for their major. It may not be an internship, but a job shows that you have had some experience." An increased number of students Groups, children to promote the arts in downtown festival By NICOLLE SKALSKI Staff Writer Preparations for the Arts Downtown festival, a celebration of performing and visual arts by students in the Chapel Hill Carrboro school system, are well under way, according to one of the directors of the Downtown Commission. The festival, scheduled for Saturday, May 20, will be on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and Main Street in Carrboro. Downtown Commission Co director Debbie Dibbert said the idea for the festival was originally generated by the commission with the basic goal of promoting the celebration as a family event.

SRC is the largest residence college, and officials should1 plan more events to pull the residence halls together and promote unity, she said. Safety, lighting in Carmichael Res idence Hall and repairs in Teague Residence Hall are also issues she will pursue as governor. Cox said. Cox is the only freshman on this year's SRC council, and she said the position has given her an insight to successful residence hall government. "I think through this year IVe had a lot of experience, and I'm seeing right now what the governors are doing," she said. Spencer-Triad-Old Well Gretchan Diflendal, a sophomore political science and speech commun ication major from Charlotte, is the only candidate running for STOW governor. Lack of activity among residents in her area has grown and is now a problem, she said. "There's a real big lack of unity," Diffendal said. "The dorms are real divided and not involved in campus activities much." Activities should be provided for everyone to bring residents closer together, she said.

This award should attract more high-quality faculty members to UNC, which has recently fallen behind other comparable institutions in base pay and fringe benefits, he said. Providing this incentive was one reason the Educational Foundation decided to donate $50,000 to the endowment, said Moyer Smith, executive vice president of the foundation. The foundation also wanted to urge seniors to keep supporting the University after graduation, Smith said. "One of our functions is to encourage alumni to give something back to the University," he said. Senior gift committee members hope the endowment will encourage other UNC groups to raise funds for faculty members, said Allen Eidson, co-chairman of the committee. "We hope to set an example for other organizations to include teachers in their endowment propo sals," he said. are using the service to find jobs, Bredderman said. "A lot more stu dents have started to come by," he said. "We have had about 150 since the beginning of January." Fitzgerald said, "A lot of people didn't know about our service, but we hope that through the fliers up on campus they will be interested and come to the office for a job." said. "We want families to come down and spend the day shopping, eating lunch and hopefully watch ing their children perform." The entire event has been planned, except for the exact times of the performances, she said. Chapel Hill resident Phyllis Lotchin volunteered to coordinate the festival with help from the ArtsCenter, the school system, the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department and the Downtown Commission. Lotchin and her committee have been working on the festival for six months. The school system has agreed to participate in the festi val, with each school sponsoring one or more groups performing through dance, music or one of the arts. Arts Committee gift 1 Aw 1 f.
