Brandenburg Committed
To Students, Not Politics
TO THE EDITOR:
Over the past year, I have gotten to
know my neighbor Stacey Brandenburg
very well. I want all students at UNC to
know that Stacey is clearly the best choice
for our next SBP. She is highly qualified,
and she has a plan for the future which will
benefit all ofus at UNC. Most importantly
though, Stacey is a real person and not
some politico who is only concerned about
getting power. After talking with her this
year, I know that she will do a fantastic job
as student body president. She is a great
person who is committed to students not
politics. I have talked with Stacey about
her plan for the next year, and I hope that
everyone will take the time to read about
what she stands for. Stacey’s ideas set the
standard for excellence.
On Valentine’s Day, please join me and
vote for the person most qualified and
committed to students. Vote Stacey
Brandenburg for SBP.

Cunningham Represents
Grad, Undergrad Interests
TO THE EDITOR:
Graduate and professional students can
and should vote in Tuesday’s student body
election. When you cast your ballots, vote
Calvin Cunningham for student body presi
dent. Cunningham will bring a responsible
administration and a proven dedication to
graduate and professional student issues to
office. Poll sites are located in the Health
Sciences Library, the law school (for law
students only), Chase, the Union, Hanes
Art Center, and Granville Cafeteria.
The student body president represents
your interests, as one third of the student
body, as well as the interests of the under
graduate population. Calvin Cunningham
has committed to work with the leadership
of the Graduate and Professional Student
Federation to continue and to advance a
few priorities:
■ Increased stipend/health benefit lev
els for graduate teaching and research as
sistants. Currently, UNC-CH lags far be
hind its peer institutions in support of its
students who carry on its teaching and
research mission. GPSF has put forth a
plan for salary increases which
Cunningham supports. He will use the
experience and political know-how which
he gained lobbying the General Assembly
last summer to push the GPSF plan in
Raleigh.
I Updated tuition remissions for out
of-state graduate and professional students.
State numbers of tuition remission levels
have not increased in over a decade.
Cunningham will work with the GPSF,
, the,faculty and the University administra
tion to make progress securing more remis
sions.
■ Increased information technology.
Graduate and professional students rely
heavily on OIT services. Cunningham will
ask for more dial-in modems, as well as an
on-line campus calendar to keep the entire
University community informed of cam
pus happenings.
Calvin Cunningham is the candidate
for student body president who has reached
out to graduate and professional students
by studying the pressing problems we face
and addressing the GPSF Senate with a
plan. His understanding of the issues will
undoubtedly enable him to be an effective
representative of graduate and professional
student needs. It is an important year for
graduate and professional students to par
ticipate in campus elections. We can make
progress if we elect the candidate for stu
dent body president that has an extensive
record of experience working at all levels
ofUniversity administration. Cunningham
is the only candidate for student body presi
dent that has taken student issues to the
UNC-system Board of Governors and the
N.C. General Assembly. On Tuesday vote
for a candidate who sets priorities and gets
the job done. Graduate and professional
students should vote Calvin Cunningham
for student body president.

Fiumara's Courage Puts
Her Above Suite C Politics
TO THE EDITOR:
“I have come to the conclusion that
politics is too serious a business to be left to
the politicians.” Charles De Gaulle
The preceding quote best captures the
essence of Jen Fiumara’s campaign for
student body president. Like many of us,
Jen has grown tired of the constant
politicalization of Suite C policies. How
ever, unlike those of us who merely com
plain about student government, Jen has
had the courage to do something about it.
Jen Fiumara’s campaign is an attempt to
move the presidency away from special
interest “insider” politics and to put the
interests of the average Carolina student
back where they have always belonged
at the top of the SBP’s agenda.
Though many people seem to forget
this, to be a good candidate for SBP does
not require you to have spent a majority of
your time in the quagmire of Suite C poli
tics. In fact, I would argue that the best
candidate is one that has a broad knowl
edge of UNC student life and understands
that there are more important things on the
minds of Carolina students than who will
be involved in the next government scan
dal. In this, Jen Fiumara exemplifies the
best qualities of the student body and un
derstands our needs. Jen is an extremely
effective administrator (she coordinated
an educational forum for the governor’s
office last summer) and a great leader (she
is chairwoman of the Honors Advisory
Board). But most importantly, Jen brings
an element of honesty and integrity to the
job of student body president that is unsur
passed.
With Jen Fiumara what you see is what
you get. Her campaign has been based on
the concept that SBP candidates too often
over-promise and under-deliver. Asa Caro
lina student who has spent the last three
years watching student government from
the sidelines, Jen is realistic about what the
SBP can and cannot do.
Regardless of what many idealists may
wish to believe, an SBP cannot cure all of
our society’s ills. Instead what an SBP can
do is to promote the interests of the UNC
student body (such as requiring spoken
English proficiency for all instructors) and
act as an advocate for realistic changes that
will benefit us all.
The student body’s cynicism about stu
dent government has been well founded -
too much politics and not enough results.
Jen Fiumara has had the courage to stand
up for the average student and run against
the status quo.
Therefore, on Tuesday, Feb. 14,1 chal
lenge all of you (especially those who are
normally too cynical to vote) to support
Jen’s effort and show that the average
Carolina student really does matter.

France Ready to Tackle
Controversy, Real Issues
TO THE EDITOR:
I have known Andrew France for a little
over a semester and already I have seen
someone who should be representing this
campus. Andrew France is a person who is
concerned about Carolina and has a plat
form to prove it. Campus safety is his first
priority, as well it should be for all student
body president candidates. The need for
repair of our current safety measures
(phones, lights, etc.) is a must.
Andrew France’s promise to be avail
able to all students shows his concern for
this campus. Andrew France is the kind of
person who is easily approachable and he
is always willing to listen. I have played
intramural sports with Andrew and his
ability to handle controversy is unmatched.
We need someone who can handle all the
bureaucracy and back-stabbing that go on
in student government and still represent
the students’ needs. The most important
plank in Andrew France’s platform is the
promise of “Cooperation Despite Diver
sity.”
A campus as diverse and changing as
Carolina’s needs a leader who is willing to
facilitate this change and keep the interests
of all students protected. Andrew’s prom
ise to appoint Jeanne Fugate as his vice
president should be considered not only at
face value, but also as a promise to create
diversity within his own administration.
We need a candidate who is going to make
a stand for the expression qf ideas whether
they match his own personal dogma or
not.
Carolina needs a student body presi
dent who is going to represent all students.
Carolina needs a student body president
that has strong moral character. Most of
all, Carolina needs a candidate that can
keep their promises: “IT’S TIME FOR
STUDENT GOVERNMENT YOU
DON’T HAVE TO BE ASHAMED OF!! ”
I urge you to vote for Andrew France for
student body president.

Garner Wouldn't Advance
A Personal Agenda as SBP
TO THE EDITOR:
I write this letter to endorse and support
Kelly Jo Gamer for student body presi
dent. I was, until Tuesday night, Kelly’s
running mate for student body co-presi
dents. If anyone on this campus is qualified
to speak on her platform, and her character
(aside from Kelly Jo herself), I am.
Every night this week, student groups
have given us, and now her, the opportu
nity to speak before them. Although her
platform may overlap in places with the
platforms of other candidates, it is clear
that they are six very different individuals.
Yet one thing I have noticed is that several
of the candidates have what they call “a
vision. ” And, as The Daily Tar Heel pointed
out on Feb. 9, 1995, many of these “vi
sions” are impossible or already occurring.
Kelly stands before the student body,
asking that they elect her to be their leader,
without any such “vision” or personal
agenda to achieve. Instead, she comes with
practical ideas and plausible plans of ac
tion to improve life and community on this
campus for every student. Not those who
agree with her, not those who do her any
political favors. Her platform has been
printed, and is available on-line. I won’t
bother repeating it.
I will tell you, however, that as Kelly’s
running mate —and as her friend—l have
come to respect and love her like no other
individual I know. Kelly is a warm, com
passionate, honest person. She provides
no convenient facade in order to gain votes.
She doesn’ tpanderto people. Kelly doesn’t
make promises she won’t or can’t keep.
Although I can no longer participate as
a candidate in this election, I still feel that
I am actively involved. When I see Kelly
speak, I see her speak for all students, and
for me. Most importantly, I know that she
means, with all her being, every word she
says.
And, to be honest, that’s more than
some of the people on stage with her can
say. She may not promise the stars, and she
may not offer to make everyone happy
instantly. But she promises to fight for our
community, to listen, and to do whatever
she can as SBP. Vote for Kelly Jo Gamer
for student body president.

Simes Would Involve All
In Revamping Government
TO THE EDITOR:
It is my pleasure to endorse Robert
Simes for SBP. I have worked with Rob
and have seen the dedication that he has
committed to guaranteeing that the stu
dent is the most important part of this
election. From the beginning, his cam
paign has focused on addressing issues
relevant to the student body. While other
candidates were merely gathering signa
tures, Rob was talking about his platform
and convincing students of his dedication.
While other candidates were putting up
their posters, Rob was making posters that
listed his goals. While other candidates
were making “inside” connections, Rob
was talking to the students. Asa senior, I
have seen promises made and broken. I
have seen candidates who only claim to be
interested in students and their needs. I
have served in student government and
have seen a lot of the things that go on
there. I’ve watched as those in Suite C sat
around idly writing reports, talking to ad
ministrators, and building their own
resumes. They often forget about the stu
dents and the reason they were elected.
They close their doors to other students
who want to get involved and leave outsid
ers outside “their game.” Suite C should
represent all the campus and should not be
open only to a select few. It’s time that
Suite C involved all students who want to
make a change in this university. It must
seek out the opinion of every student on
this campus, analyze that opinion, and
become a common voice for the student.
This is what Rob is committed to and why
he’s running. His goal is not to become the
“top” student. His goal is simple: to voice
the concern of the student body to the
legislature, to the administration, and to
each other. It’s why he started his cam
paign and how he’ll finish it. You’ve seen
the platforms, you’ve heard the speeches,
you’ve read the DTH articles. I won’t bore
you with details. It is a plan of action,
commitment and dedication to the student
body. So when you vote, and I strongly
encourage you to, vote for the candidate
who has focused on the issues. Don’t make
the mistake some organizations have and
vote for the person who is the most likely to
winorwhohastherightconnections. Vote
for the candidate who represents the stu
dents and wants the best for the University.

I could tell you that Dartyl calls 1-900

I could tell you about their platform, but
I don’t have enough room. I could tell you
that Brett won something once, but win
ning “chalkboard eraser forthe third grade”
isn’t anything to put on your resume.
I could tell you that Darryl once dated
Brett’s sister, but that’s a long, sad story.
I could tell you that Brett picked Darryl’s
name out of the phone book, but he didn’t.
I could tell you that every major organiza
tion on campus supports them, but that’s
not the truth. I could tell you that business
majors make better leaders then political
science majors, but you probably already
know that. I could tell you that Brett types
60 words a minute and cooks “a mean
meat loaf,” but I think his domestic skills
are highly overrated.
I could tell you that they read the astro
logical column religiously, but they can’t
read. I could tell you that Darryl’s mom is
speaker of the House, but she’s overquali
fied. I could tell you that they watch C-
Span at least 3 hours a day, but they don’t.
I could tell you that Brett was an juror in
the O. J. trial, but he was released after the
camera in the courtroom caught him pick
ing his nose. I could tell you that they know
lots of people in student government, but I
don’t want to turn you off. I could tell you
that Darryl had long hair, but he lost it in a
freak boating accident. I could tell you that
they have lots of friends, but who calls
three “lots” anyway? I could tell you to
vote for another candidate, but none of the

Seriously though, I will tell you that
Brett and Darryl are honest, hard-working

goals that will help unify the class of 1996.
They aren't in this to pad their resumes.

Vote Inscoe/King for Their
Experience, Teamwork
TO THE EDITOR:
Brent Inscoe and Brad King exemplify
the highest ideals of service and leadership.
I am honored to present to The Daily Tar
Heel readers this pair of candidates for
senior class president and vice president,
respectively. Inscoe and King are commit
ted to the development of the class 0f1996.
They have identified two areas which they
feel would most benefit our senior class:
ENJOYMENT and EMPLOYMENT.
Inscoe and King focus on enjoyment be
cause they want our senior year to be a
happily remembered one. They propose a
Senior Night on Franklin where each week
seniors would receive special discounts at
participating businesses and the most ex-
citing and event-filled Senior Week ever.
However, they also recognize that not only
should seniors have FUN, seniors should
also have FOCUS. This is where the em
ployment comes along: while having a
good time is a great part of senior year,
what truly will be remembered is not how
many senior weeks there were. What will
be truly remembered is how prepared we
were for the job market and the upper
echelons of higher education. Inscoe and
King propose a Senior Activities Board, a
bulletin board of information to be posted
in a central campus facility that details
information about job fairs and recruit
ment, interview skills and standardized
test information. They also propose a Se
nior Speakers Series catering to the inter
ests and skills of a different major each
month. While all of these ideas are worth
while, what separates Inscoe and King
from other candidates is not their commit
ment to giving to seniors but their commit
ment to having seniors give back. This is
why they propose a Senior Giving Tree for
Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas sea
sons. They also plan to develop a Peer
Advising system womanned and manned
by seniors for the benefits of all students.
As I stated earlier, Inscoe and King exem
plify the highest ideals of service and lead
ership-. All of the projects that Inscoe and
King have proposed have been extensively
researched and are practical and reason
able. They have done their homework!
Inscoe and King have worked in numerous
campus organizations including the Cam
pus Y and the Yackety Yack. They have
the experience. Inscoe and King have
worked with each other and with us in
many capacities. They have the chemistry
and the respect for each other. They are a
team and they are team builders. JOIN
THEIR TEAM! Be responsible students
and vote. Vote Inscoe and King for senior
class president and vice president for En
joyment, Employment and more.

For Years, Johnston/Marin
Have Made a Difference
TO THE EDITOR:
Why should people who care about
making a difference care about a senior
class election? Senior Nights at He’s Not
and Y ackety Yack photo shoots are not the
issues which send our political hearts a
thumpety-thumping.
But this year is different. Because Nick
Johnston and Mark Marin are different.
For Nick and Mark, it’s not about seeing
their names emblazoned in Carolina blue
on every mailing you get between now and
senility. It’s not about some burning ambi
tion to pad that grad school application.
Nick and Mark have been making a
difference at Carolina for years. And that’s
not something which leaps to mind when
we think about senior class government.
When students were pushing for a sane
chancellor selection committee, Nick was
a leader. And Nick put in a whole lot of
hours this semester creating Students for
Children, a children’s advocacy group.
Mark’s sincere work in Jim Copland’s ad
ministration and with the attorney general’s
staff proves he’s determined and dedicated.
That’s the kind of energy which makes
this year’s senior class election mean more
than just a popularity contest. Most years,
that’s what senior class is about. But when
you look at Nick Johnston and Mark Marin,
when you look at their solid experience
and their creative platform, then you real
ize that this is an election that matters.
They ’ve earned my respect, and your vote.
Nick and Mark are about more than a
cute Scottish accent, a firm handshake,
and polished white-boy charm. They’re
about a senior class office that makes a
difference. Finally.

Kenefick/Hahn Have Done
Homework for Class of '96
TO THE EDITOR:
I have worked closely with Brett
Kenefick and Nancy Hahn on their cam
paign and have witnessed a level of integ
rity and dedication that would greatly ben
efit the senior class. I am extremely im
pressed with their consistent effort to gather
as much information about this position as
possible. They have talked with the devel
opment office, career services, the General
Alumni Association, scholarship and fi
nancial aid office, and Dean Schroeder.
Also, they have spoken extensively with
the current senior class officers. Brett and
Nancy have a realistic idea of what the
senior class needs and of what can be
accomplished through this position. I am
confident that they will accomplish their
campaign goals. More importantly, those
goals have not resulted from the efforts of
just two individuals. Rather, Brett and
Nancy have recruited a large and diverse
group of individuals to work on the cam
paign. We were all brought together to
actively contribute our opinions and ideas
to the platform. Brett and Nancy have
sincerely listened to these various ideas
and then enthusiastically incorporated
them into their platform. Such open
mindedness and persistent pursuit of input
from all facets of the senior class are evi
dent in the platform goals: commitment to
gathering a group of marshals that reflects
the diversity of the senior class, giving
seniors a voice in the selection of their class
gift and Commencement speaker, leaving
seniors the opportunity to contribute to
another department should the senior class
gift not appeal to you, etc. Clearly, Brett
and Nancy have the open-mindedness that
is crucial for effective representation of the
class of 1996. Thus, Brett and Nancy have
the preparation, knowledge, and qualities
that we all seek in a candidate. I endorse
Brett Kenefick and Nancy Hahn for senior
class president and vice president, and I
strongly encourage all juniors to vote for
them on Tuesday.

Seow/Jenkins Dedicated
To Enjoyable Senior Year
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to ask the rising seniors to
vote for Sue Scow and Adam Jenkins for
senior class president and vice president. I
have known Sue for almost two years, and
I write with great enthusiasm and confi
dence that she can do the job well When
she first told me that she wanted to run, the
first thing I noticed was her determination,
knowledge, and capability to do the job
and do it well. I also realized that she was
willing to put her heart into it and sacrifice
her last year here to make yours as special
and rewarding as it should be.
First of all, Sue does not want to be just
a token officer who only chooses the speaker
at your graduation and the senior class gift
(to which you contribute). She wants to
expand the role of the senior class presi
dent to help the seniors in any possible
way. Sue wants to make sure that you, the
rising seniors, are well provided for in this
last (and extremely important) year here.
From revamping the advising system to
better inform the seniors of requirements
to having Senior Fiesta Nights, one can see
that Sue and Adam are trying to make a
true difference. Put simply, Sue and Adam
want to make your last year here as enjoy
able and memorable as it can be with the
least amount of worry about what is going
to happen to you once you graduate.
I strongly urge the rising seniors to vote
for Sue Seow and Adam Jenkins. Sue is
dedicated to this project and has chosen to
make it her sole focus for the year. There
fore she will do a good job of serving the
senior class. She wants to make this your
senior year rather than just one or two
helter-skelter senior weeks. Sue is honest,
dependable, and hard working. She is also
responsive to any new ideas that may come
along. She is not politically connected to
any organization on campus, so the se
niors will get an apolitical president who
gets the job done, on time and correctly.
She is not making any far-fetched promises
that seem too good to be true; she is,
however, making a promise to serve the
senior class. Sue and Adam are sacrificing
their last year here to make it more enjoy
able for you, the rising seniors. I ask you to
sacrifice five minutes of your time on Tues
day, Feb. 14,1995, and vote for Sue Seow
and Adam Jenkins.

Woody/Dolby Give Seniors
A Chance to Be Involved
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to give my enthusiastic
endorsement to Thad Woody and Terms
Dolby for the offices of senior class presi
dent and vice president. I firmly believe
that the ideas in the Woody & Dolby for
Senior Class platform are clearly the most
revolutionary and beneficial presented this
year. Thad and Terms have devoted them
selves fully to developing ideas which will
have both long- and short-term benefits for
the Senior Gass, and their commitment to
the Senior Gass would never waver if
elected. Innovative ideas such as having
TWO SENIOR WEEKS, using the
Internet to help Seniors search for jobs and
transmit applications to potential employ
ers, publishing an easily accessible Senior
Calendar, and creating an endowment
which would provide for seniors to serve
their community are exemplary of the vi
sion encompassed by the Woody & Dolby
platform. I feel the most important thing
about Thad & Terms is that they are more
than just passively open to the ideas of
others. They actively seek advice and opin
ions from anyone willing to offer them.
Their desire to involve others in a unified
Senior Class is reflected in their plan to
allow each campus organization, frater
nity, and sorority to nominate a Senior
Gass Marshal. Also, they are planning to
connect the Senior Class through the
Internet and to encourage Seniors to offer
suggestions for both the Senior Class Gift
and the fall and spring Commencement
speakers over e-mail. I want to close by
asking that you remember Thad Woody &
Terms Dolby when you cast your vote for
senior class president and vice president.
Their own words best exemplify why they
deserve your vote. In their platform, they
wrote the following: “As Seniors it is our
responsibility to leave the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill better than
we found it.” This philosophy strikes at the

'High Hopes' Key to Reid's
Bid for CAA President
TO THE EDITOR:
“Just what makes that little ol’ ant think
he can move a robber tree plant? Anyone
knows an ant can’t move a rubber tree
plant! Buthe’sgot—high hopes ...’’Well,
the ant I want to tell you about isn’t little.
In fact, we call him “Big Ant Reid.” He’s
also not trying to move a rubber tree; he’s
running for Carolina Athletic Association
president. He does, however, have one
thing in common with this ant high
hopes. Since freshman year, Anthony has
been involved in CAA. Currently, he is
Carolina Fever co-president and a member
of the CAA Cabinet. As Campus Y com
mittee coordinator, I have supervised
Anthony’s work as co-chairman of Dillon
School and can professionally say that he
is second to none in implementing new
programs and having a clear vision of what
he wants to accomplish. He has tripled the
size of the committee, has the largest per
centage of dues-paying members, and has
thoroughly educated die volunteers about
the issues which effect Dillon School.
Working with Anthony in a professional
environment has shown me that he has the
organizational skills and resources needed
to be an effective CAA president.
Personally, Big Ant Reid is responsible,
honest, and real. He is the only African
American running for a presidential posi
tion in the campus elections. School spirit
is important to Anthony, which shows in
his dedication to CAA’s Carolina Fever.
At football games, Anthony is the loudest,
strongest supporter of the team. Though
Kenan Stadium holds more than 50,000
people, one can always pick Anthony out
in the crowd. Finally, Anthony Reid has
high, yet realistic, hopes for CAA. Using
the knowledge of the policies and proce
dures of CAA which he has learned during
his three-year involvement with the group,
he would like to increase awareness of
what the group does and how students can
get involved. If elected, he would work to
increase support of Carolina’s Olympic
sports, restructure Homecoming, and in
crease student/student-athlete interaction
through service. What Anthony Reid has
done in his three years at Carolina, who he
is personally, and where he wants to take
Carolina Athletic Association confirm that
Anthony Reid is the best choice for presi
dent. So ... “Oops, there goes another

At Helm of RHA, Godwin
Would Listen to Residents
TO THE EDITOR:
My experience working with Jessica
spans over three years. I am writing to
endorse her campaign 101 percent. I feel I
can knowledgeably recommend Jessica for
the office of RHA president, because I
worked very closely with the RHA presi
dents the past year and a half. Jessica was
president of Cobb Residence Hall when I
began to work with her in RHA. As gover
nor, I saw her ability to encourage others to
become involved and to have fun being
involved in RHA. She created feasible goals
and took the necessary steps to accomplish
them. This tradition continued as she, in
turn, was elected governor of COJO (Cobb
and Joyner area). Not only must an
organization’s president have innovative
ideas, but he/she must also possess the
qualities to encourage others to join in his/
her efforts to get the job done. Jessica’s
platform is feasible. I am particularly im
pressed with her continued interest in the
University’ s participation in state, regional,
and national residence hall associations. It
has been over a decade since UNC was
affiliated with the macrocosm of residence
hall associations. There was a need for the
creation of the new RA liaison position
BEFORE the issue was addressed because
the interaction of RAs and RHA leaders
could be beneficial to both groups but par
ticularly the residents the group we both
serve. This is an excellent step towards
improving the relations between RHA and
Housing. Hopefully, residents will have
the chance to participate in an anonymous
survey as Jessica has proposed. Residents
could inform their governing body of con
cerns and programming ideas without the
pressures of identification or going out of
their way to come by the office to input
their ideas. All residents care, someone
just needs to go to them for their ideas
that individual will be Jessica. For the
“together” choice that will accomplish what
the majority of residents’ needs indicate,
for the choice that will listen to you, and for
the choice that will give you what you vote
for, VOTE Jessica Godwin for RHA presi
dent. You can make a choice don’t
neglect to vote for someone.
