FROM STAFF REPORTS Woody/Dolby, Joknston/Marin Make Next Round BY CHRISTINA MASSEY STAFF WRITER In the race for senior class officers, Thad Woody and Terms Dolby will meet Nick Johnston and Mark Marin in a runoff election Tuesday. Woody and Dolby finished first in the election with 301 votes, while Johnston and Marin were second with 240 votes. Woody, who is running for senior class president, said he was pleased with the election results. “We’re glad people voted for us, and we hope they will go out and vote for us again in the runoff, ” he said. Marin, who is running for vice president, also said he was happy with the results, especially considering the pool of candidates. “I am very pleased with the results,” he said. “There were six qualified (pairs of) candidates in the race, and it could have gone either way. I’m looking forward to the runoff.” Woody credited part of his and Dolby’s success to their campaign workers. “We had a very large number of people who worked with us,” he said. “We want to thank them for their support and their help.” Woody said he planned to use the next week to refine his platform. “Hopefully, we can work on some areas that we felt we needed to work on,” he said. In their platform, Woody and Dolby stated that they wanted two senior weeks, one each semester. The fall week would prepare seniors for life after graduation, while the spring week would be filled with senior perks. They also plan to diversify marshals by encouraging each campus group to nominate. Marin said he saw the the runoff as starting from scratch. “This is anew race, going from six (pairs of) candidates to two,” he said. “It’s a matter of getting the people who voted for us originally to vote for us again and getting new people to vote for us. We want to show people that we are very organized.” Marin said he thought he and Johnston had quali fied for the runoff for several reasons. “We had a platform of original ideas and experi ence in student government,” he said. “We are also very determined to do a good job. We want to make the senior class office more efficient and productive. ” In their platform, Johnston and Marin stated that they would take an active role in ensuring that all seniors graduated on time and took advantage of career search opportunities. To do this, they want to create an Academic Resources Committee to answer Galbo Edges Reid for CAA Post; Reid Plans to Request Recount CAA IID President JgJ i “ s Lin y; Results BYSTACEY EDWARDS STAFF WRITER Wes Galbo grasped the presidency of the Carolina Athletic Association by 14 votes over Anthony Reid after a close race that resulted inafinaltallyof votes of 1763 to 1749. Reid said he would call for a recount, which is common in close races with high voter participation. “It’s been a close race all along. An thony ran a good race, and I feel we matched each other in publicity and production. I felt like either one of us could win; I just happened to come out ahead, ” Galbo said. Galbo’s campaign focused on increased student participation, fair and consistent ticket distribution, improved Homecom ing activities, and expanded Olympic sports. Galbo, a junior business administration major from Chapel Hill, said he hoped to take a more active role in interaction and communication with students. “The first thing I intend to do after I throw a party for my campaign staff is to assemble my Cabi net and begin work on my programs,” he said. Galbo said he intended to place sugges tion boxes in central locations around cam pus such as Lenoir, Chase and the Student Union, to distribute information and sur vey s regarding tickets, and to improve ticket distribution methods. He also said in his written platform that he intended to work on maintaining the option of indoor camping for tickets in inclement weather. Other efforts to improve student partici pation included publicizing CAA meet ings. “The most important item on my platform is opening up the CAA more, making it more inclusive. I intend to for malize opportunities for student participa tion in CAA activities,” he said. Galbo also said he intended to continue Town Council Nixes Funding for Parking Deck’s Cave Paintings BYJENNIFER FREER ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR The town of Chapel Hill will not pay a professional artist and local school chil dren $5,000 to paint the walls of the Rose mary Street parking deck with primitive cavepaintings,theChapelHillTown Coun cil decided Monday night. The council unanimously passed a rec ommendation by town manager Cal Horton not to approve the use of town funds to paint murals in the light wells of the parking deck. Horton suggested that the Chapel Hill Town Council approve the painting of the murals without $5,000 of town funding.

Johnston and Marin also plan to unify the senior class through community service with a project called START (Seniors Taking Action ’RoundTown), which would strengthen and build cohesion in both the senior class and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community. Sue Seow and Adam Jenkins came in last with 47 votes, but this might have been affected by a mistake on the part of the Elections Board. Jenkins’ name was misprinted on the ballot, showing up as Butler instead. Seow said she did not know if the error had affected their results. “It was an honest mistake on the part of the Elections Board,” she said. “It might have affected the outcome of the race; it might not have. We will never know.” Jenkins said he and Seow would not take any action against the Elections Board. “If the race had been closer, we might have petitioned the Elections Board for a recount, but it’s obvious most of the senior class didn’t want us to be their leaders,” he said. Brett Kenefick and Nancy Hahn came in third place with 195 votes. They declined to comment on the race. Brent Inscoe and Brad King came in fourth with 176 votes, while Brett Doyle and Darryl Zavodny finished in fifth place with 145 votes.

He will also continue support for Olym pic sports by expanding “Blue Blitz” ef forts, continuing to support “Chat With the Coach” and attempting to bolster at tendance. Reid’s platform, much like Galbo’s, fo cused on student interaction and opening up the CAA while holding the administra tion responsible for its actions. Glaxo pharmaceutical company would provide $3,000 for the costs of painting the parking deckmurals, according to the coun cil memo. "We agree this would be a good sight,” Horton said. “We believe this to be a good project. I can’t be too optimistic at this point that the project will be approved, but I recommend that council not allocate find ing.” Michael Brown, the artist who peti tioned the council in January, asked the council to approve funding. Brown’s proposal suggested that the 7,000 square feet of the parking deck be painted with brightly colored primitive ca ve paintings. .

Reid, a junior sociology major from Winston-Salem, said he thought he had run a good race. “It’s all good; it was not a big difference (in numbers),’’ he said. Current CAA Co-presidents Nil Dalai and Jen Rasmussen said they were confi dent either candidate could fulfill the re sponsibilities of the position. “We’re get ting a winner either way; both candidates are on our Cabinet, and both have tremen dous experience,” Dalai said. Rasmussen said, “We hope they will continue our Olympic sports program and communicate more with students, focus ing on the CAA’s role in athletics.” “I would urge you to adopt the resolu tion that would allow some financial sup port,” Brown said. Of the citizens that participated in the discussion of the murals at Monday night’s meeting, no one spoke against the paint ings. One town resident, Vera Hart described herself as “woman who enjoys art.” She spoke of her visits to other cities, like Chi cago, to see mural art. “Art, like architecture, you have to go there (to Chicago) to see the art,” Hart said. “I had to see it. I think we are lucky to have the quality of the town we have here. I think the quality in Chapel Hill is higher than what I have seen and I’m happy to be Godwin Captures RHA Presidency in Landslide BY DIANA D’ABRUZZO STAFF WRITER With 1,508 votes, Jessica Godwin cap tured the office of Residence Hall Associa tion president with her opponent beside her. As 106 Carroll Hall filled with candi dates, supporters and current student body representatives, many were nervous or anxious. But while tensions might have existed between candidates in other races, this was not so between RHA president candidates Godwin and Michael Holder. Sitting side by side, they watched together as the election results came in. At 9:45 p.m., Elections Board Chair woman Erin Lewis posted the first set of results, which did not include the Granville Towers or Student Union polling sites. With Godwin receiving 513 votes and Holder receiving 211 votes, they said they thought the final results could go either way. “We’d rather not comment until the results from the Student Union are posted," Holder said. Their friendliness toward each other and their ability to finish each other’s sen- See RHA, Page 4 Hoffmann Wins, Moves Up From GPSF VP to President BYJULIE CORBIN ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR Running unopposed, Steve Hoffmann was elected Tuesday as the president of the Graduate and Professional Student Fed eration with 112 votes. Hoffmann defended his lack of compe tition in the campaign. His former position as vice president of the GPSF and his experience with the organization qualify him to continue the work the current ad ministration began, he said. “I’ve taken a lot of harassment about running unopposed, but if you look in the past, all the GPSF presidents have run unopposed,” Hoffmann said Tuesday. “They all come from within the GPSF.” Hoffmann added that his experience with the GPSF would help him in achiev ing the goals set forth on his platform. “I’ve seen, through (the GPSF) Con gress and the GPSF, problems and needs,” See GPSF, Page 4 surrounded by it.” Spencer Everett, a resident of Chapel Hill also supported the painting of the murals in the East Rosemary St. parking deck. “We are supporters of Michael Brown and his work,” Everett said. “When visi tors come to town we debate on whether to go see the campus or the murals first. I can’t speak on the fiscal issues, but I hope the council supports the issue.” David Stone from the Society of Illus trators said he looked for a sense of humor and intelligence in art. He said the murals around town “add spark.” Chapel Hill Town Council member Pat Evans asked that no pictures of weapons Wednesday, February 15,1995 gg DTH/KATIE CANNON Jessica Godwin reacts to being elected Residence Hall Association president. ■BMfe' ■ • S STEVE HOFFMANN was elected Graduate and Professional Student Federation president with 112 votes. be used in the murals and suggested that the invention of the wheel as part of the murals. Even though Horton didn’t recommend town funding, he wasn’t upset with the council’s decision. “The decision is left up to the council,” Horton said. “I have no problem with the decision. Michael Brown has done great things in town.” Jim Protzman, council member, had some concerns about the painting of the murals. “I was ambiguous about it,” Protzman. said. “I’m in favor of murals, but I’m also concerned about money. I enjoy this par ticular mural.” 3
