High student voter By ERIC LUSK Stall Writer UNC students may have to stand in line to cast their ballot Nov. 6 for the first time since Richard Nixon ran for reelection amid the turmoil of Vietnam in 1972. The same interest in voting that stu dents had in the early 1970s "has not been equaled until this year," Chapel Hill Town Councilman Joe Herzenberg said. "Students have worked harder to register people to vote." The expected high turnout stems partly from student interest in the U.S. Senate race between Republican Jesse Helms and Democrat Harvey Gantt. "A lot of people will turn out because it's a heated race." said Gloria Sutton, a freshman Young Democrats member from Fayetteville. "It only takes two minutes to vote. If students come out, it will make a difference." Mike Nelson, a campaign coordina tor for the Orange County Democratic party, said 4,000-5,000 students regis tered to vote in Orange County this year Fair explores options for students interested in studying By CATHY OBERLE Staff Writer Students who think spending a se mester or two in Scandinavia or Aus tralia sounds exotic and exciting can get information on study abroad programs for these and other nations today. Information for students who would like to spend time abroad will be available at the fourth annual Study Abroad Fair in the Great Hall in the Student Union. "The program is to introduce students to their options and programs to study abroad," said senior Laura Bramley, director of the Study Abroad Fair. "We really encourage students to attend the fair because there are a lot of opportu nities to study abroad." Representatives from about 50 study abroad programs will set up information tables at the fair, which will be held from 1 1 :00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Bramley said. Some of the representatives will be from other universities in the United States, but most of them will be from different countries, she said. Schools in England, Scandinavia, Switzerland, France and Australia will be represented at the fair. Maria Bryan, program coordinator for Study Abroad, said the fair also would provide students with information about some of the 48 programs the UNC Study Abroad Office offers. I "It provides (students) with a wide spectrum of study abroad programs, she said. "It exposes them to people who know about it." Students can pick up pamphlets about the programs and talk to representatives it ll Apple a day Susie Kemple, from the Chapel Hill Mu pledge booth at Chi Omega sorority nouse on i uesaay anemoon. ahighernumberthan in past elections. Unlike the early 1980s when both parties added nearly the same number of students to their ranks, registration this year has favored Democrats, Nelson said. About 80 percent of the students who registered in Orange County this year are Democrats, 10 percent are Republicans and 10 percent chose to remain unaffiliated, he said. According to Orange County Board of Elections' figures, 57,384 people are registered: 39,628 as Democrats, 1 2,358 as"Republicans and 5,396 unaffiliated. In addition to a U.S. Senator, Orange County voters can select a U.S. Repre sentative, two state senators, two state representatives, three county commis sioners and numerous judges. Also on the ballot are two bond referendums a statewide, $200 million prison bond and a Chapel Hill bond for a new public library. Because major races like Gantt Helms have absorbed much of the media's attention, most students know little about candidates for local offices, overseas "We really encour age students to attend the fair because there are a lot of opportuni ties to study abroad." Laura Bramley, Study Abroad Fair director at the fair, Bramley said. The repre sentatives can help students learn how to select a country to visit and answer specific questions about the programs, she said. "Studying abroad tends to be threat ening when you get right down to it," Bramley said. Bramley said she hoped the fair would help students make their decisions more easily. Bryan said students who had returned from studying abroad would be at the fair to talk to those who are interested in the various programs. They will work at information tables and help answer questions, she said. "When students are faced with the problem of where in the world to study, it helps to talk to someone who has lived there," Bryan said. About 1,200 students attended the fair last year, Bramley said. mtmmmmmm lipiliilii iiifiiium WBmmml.

Gloria Sutton, member of UNC Young Democrats Nelson said. "We're working to get that informa tion to the students," he said. "I would encourage them to do some research on races they don't know much about. Candidates deserve the support of the students." Marisa Garciagarrido, a Chapel Hill resident who is auditing classes at the University, said she knows little about some of the candidates for local office. "I need more time to choose my candidates," said Garciagarrido, who is voting for the first time since moving to the United States six years ago. "I think I don't know enough," she Student Congress bill more group spending freedom By MICHELLE RABIL Staff Writer A bill that would allow student groups greater spending freedom in the budget process will be mtroaucea to Student Congress by the Fair Funding Committee in 12 days. Juereen Buchenau, chairman of the Fair Funding Committee, proposed the bill. The Fair h uncling committee is part of student government. Under the proposed bill, distinctions would oe made in student government funds, funds allocated to student groups by congress and the funds groups raise themselves. In the past, all money the groups received was labeled student govern ment funds, Buchenau said in a Fair Funding Committee meeting Tuesday. If congress did not want a group to spend the amount the group wanted or if the money was to be spent on something controversial, the program did not receive funding, he said. Generated funds were not controlled directly by congress, but the amount a group raised independently was con sidered when they were allocated money. Under the new proposal, the money an organization generates itself would be almost completely free from the treasury law restrictions, he said. Student organizations would be able to spend generated funds on what they want, with afew limitations, Buchenau said. The groups would be prohibited Committee plans December Ceremony to By MATT CAMPBELL Staff Writer December graduates won't be left out of the excitement of commencement because the University has planned a December Recognition Ceremony for students who finish their studies this semester. The ceremony will honor about 1,500 students who finish their studies at the University in December. Harry Gooder, chairman of the fac ulty, said students who finish their course of study in December would not receive their diplomas until May. B ill Massey , associate vice chancellor of University affairs, said the ceremony was being held to honor seniors who will complete their studies in December. 'This will not be a commencement V 'it Turning the other cheek Katie Titchner, a freshman Kappa Kappa Gamma pledge, paints a rainbow on the cheek of Elena, last name said. "I don't have much free time." The University campus is divided into four precincts: B Students registered in the Country Club precinct including all south campus high-rise residence halls and Avery, Carmichael, Parker and Teague dormitories vote in Fetzer Gym. B Students in the Greenwood pre cinct including Alexander, Aycock, Cobb, Connor, Everett, Graham, Grimes, Joyner, Lewis, Mangum, Manly, Ruffin, Stacy and Winston dor mitories vote at the General Admin istration building on Raleigh Road. A free shuttle from the Union will be "It's a good enough improvement that it's in our best interest to do it." Harold Brubaker, Student Activities Fund officer from giving themselves scholarships, for example, he said, but could spend the money on a party, which they can not do now. Congress would create a list of ex pense categories that it is willing to provide for, such as office supplies. Categories ineligible for student gov ernment money would be paid for with generated funds, Buchenau said. 'The advantage of giving congress the authority to set ineligible categories is that the group can spend money it wants except for certain things," Buchenau said. Student groups have complained in the past that student government did not know how the groups operated and therefore did not have the right to decide what they could do, he said. - Student government was seen as performing the "negative act of slash ing the budget," Buchenau said. Spending only 30 minutes per group in deciding whether or not to cut their programs is not fair, he said. "We should look at the appeal and worthiness of programs," he said. "Our role should be cooperative, not honor mid-year graduates a r l T . for the students, but a ceremony where . the students and their parents can get together and the students can be rec ognized," Massey said. All December graduates are invited to participate in the hour-long service Sunday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. in Memorial Hall. The keynote speaker will be an nounced next week. Although the University usually funds the ceremony, this year it will not, Massey said. Other organizations on campus will be paying for the service, he said. "The December Recognition Cer emony is made possible through the generosity of the Athletic Department and the General Alumni Association," Massey said.

"They make mistakes. Just go where you were told to." Students not registered in Orange County and who wish to vote have until Friday to obtain an absentee ballot. Herzenberg said. Absentee ballots must be received by Monday. to alow adversarial." The main problem with the new proposal is that it might be confusing. "We haven't gone through this be fore," Buchenau said. "There will be a transition period for the better part of 1991." No group should be against the proposal because they will be deter mining if cuts will be made, not con gress. "We can't decide which groups are most important to the student body," he said. Howard Brubaker, Student Activi ties Fund Office director and member of the Fair Funding Committee, said the new proposal would create a lot more work for student government, but would be worth it. "It's a good enough improvement that it's in our best interest to do it," he said. "It's worthwhile; a lot better for student groups." Groups will be required to report their budgets and keep them updated If the groups' goals of generated funds are too ambitious and they cannot raise all the money, they will be given more. Several members of the University community will help organize the cer emony, he said. Members of the committee planning the ceremony will be from the Office of University Relations and operational staff, he said. Representatives from the senior class and graduate students also will be a part of the committee, Massey said. Cara Bonnett, a senior from Fort Myers, Fla., said she is graduating in December. She had not heard about a ceremony planned for students-finishing course work at the University in December, but she might participate when she finds out more about it, Bonnett said.
