Campus elections are 12 days away
and nine of the 10 scheduled candidate
forums are still on the calendar.
From today until Feb. 1 8, candidates
for Residence Hall Association (RHA)
president, Carolina Athletic Associa
tion (CAA) president. Daily Tar Heel
(DTH) editor and student body presi
dent (SBP) will have the opportunity to
introduce themselves and discuss their
campaign platforms with the student
body, said David Smith, Elections
Board chairman.
"Forums are excellent places for
candidates to go and present their views
to the public and for the people to go
and ask questions," Smith said.
Student Television (STV), RHA, the
Black Student Movement (BSM), stu
dent government, the Association of
International Students (AIS) and the
Theta Chi fraternity will sponsor the
forums, which are open to all students.
Tonight at 8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall,
STV and student government will co
sponsor a forum for student body presi
dent candidates.
At the beginning of the forum, each
candidate will have three minutes to
introduce himself. Afterward, each will
ask a campaign-related question for the
other three candidates to answer, fol
lowed by questions from the audience.
Smith said.
SRC preliminary
By AKINWOLE N'GAI WRIGHT
Staff Writer
Members of the Student Recreation
Center (SRC) Board of Directors and
the physical education department met
Wednesday with architects to discuss
the preliminary drawings of the pro
posed center.
Norma Burns, architect for the SRC
and president of B urnstudio of Raleigh,
said the preliminary plans presented at
the meetings served as a philosophy of
her approach toward the final planning
of the building.
"These plans are to serve as a general
and broad idea of what the SRC is to
look like. They are to serve as a means
of showing the relationship between
the new building and Fetzer Gym. The
plans are meant to change and become
more definite as time progresses."
The preliminary designs call for a
two-story, about 20,000-square-feet
addition, to Fetzer Gym courtyard
containing such facilities as the Well
ness Center, lobby and reception area,
dance and aerobic areas, exercise areas
and a weight room.
Proposed design ideas for the SRC
included a vending machine and juice
bar area, a quiet leisureresting area,
sauna and steam room facilities, and an
elevated walkway which would stand
outside the building and directly over
some of the brick paths in the Fetzer
Gym area.

n DTH minority
By STEPHANIE JOHNSTON
Staff Writer
The central committee of the Black
Student Movement (BSM) Wednesday
presented proposals aimed at improv
ing The Daily Tar Heel's minority
coverage, including having writers
make appointments with central com
mittee members to conduct interviews
in person rather than over the phone.
Other proposals include not conduct
ing interviews during BSM meetings,
appointing a minister of information as
a contact person for DTH reporters,
giving the DTH a calendar of minority
events in the community and having
reporters repeat the statements they are
given to the person being interviewed.
Toija Riggins, BSM executive assis
tant, said the proposals would help
reporters and BSM members being
interviewed know what to expect.
"Everyone would know exactly where
everyone was coming from."
BSM President Tonya Blanks said
she would meet with Sharon Kebschull,
DTH editor, to discuss the proposals.
The next BSM general body meet
ing will be a candidates' forum next
Wednesday night. Blanks encouraged
members to attend.

"If you're going into student rooms,
you might as well prepare for the fu
ture." RHA governors had mixed reactions
to the potential increase.
Michael Schmier, Olde Campus area
governor, said he did not think students
would want to pay for both increases
this year. "My personal belief is that
cable is a good idea and I want cable,
but $60 a year is a lot of money.

STV will also tape the forum and air
it on a special edition of its Campus
Profile news show, said STV Execu
tive Producer Lee Powell. The show
will last from 60 to 90 minutes and
appear Feb. 12-16 on Carolina Cable,
Powell said.
The RHA will sponsor four campus
election forums. "The format (of each
forum) is not any different, just on
different days at different places, like a
traveling show," said RHA President
Liz Jackson.
At each forum, candidates for the
four offices will appear, Jackson said.
The RHA will present the offices sepa
rately beginning with CAA president
followed by RHA president, DTH edi
tor and SBP, Jackson said.
Candidates will each have three
minutes to introduce themselves be
fore fielding audience questions.
On Feb. 14 at 5:30 p.m. in the Chase
Hall's Upendo Lounge, the BSM will
conduct a forum using a similar format.
The forum will feature all four offices
in the order of RHA president, CAA
president, DTH editor and SBP, said
BSM Acting President Tonya Blanks.
"The candidates will come prepared
for a two-minute address about them
selves and their platforms, and then the
Central Committee, the executive body
of the BSM, will open up questions
from the audience," Blanks said.
On Feb. 15, student government will
expressed several major concerns about
the planning of the new building: safety
and security of the building, student
control of the building, and the effect
the new building will have on the land
scape of the Fetzer Gym courtyard.
The new building is to have a cen
tralized entrance area for security pur
poses. At this entrance, student verifi
cation and identification is to be
checked. Once cleared of this entrance,
students will be free to use the facilities
in the building and then exit through
designated areas. Board members were
concerned with the fire hazards and the
safety implications conflicting with a
single entrance.
Lisa Frye, president of the Carolina
Athletic Association (CAA), said that
the conflict between safety and secu
rity should be resolved at the upcoming
meetings. "It will be nice to have one
generally accessible checkpoint, but the
safety of the students cannot be com
promised. I think that if more exits are
added to the initial plans, the safety vs.
security problem will be put to rest."
The initial plan of the SRC called for
the building to be an addition to the
already-standing Fetzer Gym. As plans
for the building are taking shape,
members of the board are concerned
that the new SRC does not become its
own independent, free-standing build
ing. Gene Davis, member of the SRC
board of directors and Student Con-
u
covera
dent body president will be present.
"Come ask questions about anything
you ever wanted to know," B lanks said.'
In other business, Lisa Schaeffer,
BSM secretary, requested volunteers
for the Guardian Ad Litem program in
Chapel Hill.
"The Guardian Ad Litem is a child
advocacy program," Schaeffer said.
"Volunteers investigate what's going
on in the home of an abused or ne
glected child and report to the courts.
We need minority volunteers. If you
could go out and see a child who has
been abused or neglected, you'd want
to do your part."
Guests at the meeting included Lynn
Connor, a businessman hoping to get
the BSM's support to sell African cul
ture items from Jamestown on campus.
"I want the BSM to sponsor us so we
can work on campus and get the things
out," he said.
Committee members reported con
tinued work on establishing the Harvey
Beech scholarship and reminded
members of upcoming events.
"It (the Harvey Beech scholarship)
is a retention scholarship to help keep
minorities on the UNC campus,"
Schaeffer said. "It will be based on
financial aid and grade improvement. It
will help aid students in staying here.
We're in the process of getting a board
of directors and a selection committee.
of people who want cable, and housing
needs it to compete with off-campus."
Craige Area Governor King Bow
den said the cost compared favorably
with other cable packages, which are
usually around $20 a month. Several
RHA officials said cable would help
fulfill student needs. "Everybody I
talked to wanted the cable because the
reception is bad in the dorms."
Morrison Area Governor Aundrea
Creech said that most of the male stu
dents she had talked to favored cable
because they wanted ESPN, but that
most of the female students she had

Architect Norma Burns shows
gress speaker, said these preliminary
plans were leaning toward the SRC
being a free-standing structure.

AIS Co-President Caroline Pham
said each candidate will have two to
five minutes to present platforms. Af
terward, a panel of AIS members will
begin a series of questions, followed by
questions from the audience.
The AIS began participating in the
campus election forums a few years
ago. "We asked the speaker of (Stu
dent) Congress if we could hold the
forum, and they asked the candidates,"
Lisa Frye, Dr. Ed Shields and
what the students have decided. As
they ask, the SRC must be independ
ently student run, not independently
free-standing."
Frye was also concerned about stu
dent control of the building. "The
important thing in this issue is that
students must have control over all
aspects of the building. They will have
a great impact on the operating hours
and programs of the SRC."
Members of the board were worried
the SRC would interfere greatly with
the landscape of the Fetzer Gym court

Student fees to fund
transit improvements
By JENNIFER DUNLAP
Staff Writer
Student leaders and transportation
officials are considering ways to
improve Chapel Hill transportation
services with new funds from a $25
student transportation fee, student
leaders said Wednesday.
The fee was imposed without the
UNC student body's consent, said
Student Congress Speaker Gene
Davis. The fee was to be used toward
the improvement of transit service to
students, he said.
Student Body President Brien
Lewis met last year with the Board of
Trustees to ensure that the fees would
be put toward the improvement of
transit used by students and not just
used toward all transit in Chapel Hill.
Joe Andronaco, student body vice
president, said he agreed with Lewis
that it was important the money went
toward the improvement of parts of
the system used by students. "We
have to make sure the money is used
for what it was slated for improve
ment of the system," Andronaco said.
Davis said he wasn't sure the sys
tem had been adequately upgraded
so far. "It is my understanding that
those improvements have not been
made," he said. Student leaders said
existing services were adequate, but
needed improvement. "There is a call
for new and improved routes," An
dronaco said.
Charles Merritt, student govern
ment campus affairs director, has
worked on the transit issue all year,
according to Lewis. Merritt said trans
portation fees were being put to good
use but could be put to better use.
"We're really interested in getting
students opinion on how the money
should be used," Merritt said. "We'd

After the SRC is finished, planting on a-
grand scale will be done in the area.'
Overall, Frye and Davis said they
were pleased with the plans presented
Wednesday. "I understand that these
plans are only preliminary," said Frye.
"But if they are any indication of the
building that is to be built, UNC is in for
a wonderful surprise."
Davis agreed. "The new SRC is very
well devised. I am really excited about
the future of this building."

like to do a survey if we can get
something out."
Gene Swecker, associate vice
chancellor for facilities management,
said discussions about next fall's bus
route changes have not yet begun.
Improvement ideas must be deter
mined before a new contract with
Chapel Hill Transit is made.
Lewis said while traffic and park
ing officials have been very respon
sive, there were a number of areas in
which service could be improved.
Possible improvements to the tran
sit system Lewis named include free
U, S or P routes, additional day- or
peak-time routes, a Saturday Blue
Line route or a discount on bus passes.
"One that particularly appeals to
me is having a $25 discount on bus
passes, because then you're sort of
giving back the money as an incen
tive to use the service," Lewis said.
Lewis will meet Friday withTrans
portation Planner John Gardner to
discuss improvements in the transit
system. Gardner was unavailable for
comment.
Over the past year some routes
have been increased, enlarged and
added, Merritt said. In the 1990 fis
cal year, a projected 9,000 bus hours
would be added to improve service
for students, he said.
Merritt said the $25 fee would not
be enough to provide new routes
every year but could be used to start
new routes and maintain them. Davis
said additional routes to major apart
ment complexes would be discussed
at the next Transportation and Park
ing Advisory Committee meeting.
He said a rider survey had been
completed and results should guide
the committee's actions.
