Full Congress to Debate Removing Partisan Clause BYNANCY FONTI SENIOR WRITER The Student Congress Rules and Judi ciary Committee sent a bill to the fall congress at its meeting Wednesday night that will allow student fees to go to politi cally partisan and religious student groups. The fall Student Congress will consider the bill Sept. 6. The changes to the Student Code come after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Rosenberger vs. University of Virginia Board of Visitors this summer, which for bids public universities from denying stu dent fee funding to groups based on their political or religious affiliation. “The ball has been hit back to us by the administration to take care of this thing,” said rules and judiciary committee chair man Terry Milner, Dist. 1. “My interest is that we don’t drop it.” The fall congress will consider the code changes and then reconsider funding for three groups that were denied funding in the spring because of the “politically parti san” clause in the code. The Catalyst and The Carolina Review, two student-run opinion magazines, and New Generation Campus Ministries will be reconsidered for funding. In related committee hearings Wednes day night, the Student Congress Finance Committee considered the funding requests of the three groups. The Catalyst, which requested $1650, was referred to the fall congress without prejudice. New Genera tion Campus Ministries, which requested $2,411, was also referred without preju dice. The Carolina Review requested $11,039, but the finance committee slashed their request to $4,289. Review publisher Charleton Allen said most of the committee’s cuts were logical, and the funding was a “step in the right direction.” “This is a University community where all viewpoints should be heard,” Allen For Student-Athletes, Summer Break Is Not Much of a Vacation BY ELLEN FLASPOEHLER ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR For most students, summer is a time to kick back and relax, forget about the rou tines of the school year and escape from reality. But for UNC varsity athletes, the reality of keeping in shape is their constant companion, and summer is no excuse for rest. Whether athletes stayed in Chapel Hill or traveled elsewhere for the summer break, most were given workout programs to fol low during their time off from school. “Especially for fall sports, what our ath letes do during the summer has a tremen dous impact on our fall season,” said Joe Sagula, head coach of women’s volleyball. “Summer is a major part of our pre season, and we have to depend on (the athletes') own abilities to discipline them selves and keep on a schedule,” he said. “The better they deal (with summer prac tice), the more success the team will have.” Beth Miller, associate athletic director for Olympic (formerly called non-revenue) sports, said that the athletic department and its athletes were governed by rules All the things I really like to do are either immoral, illegal or fattening. Alexander Woollcott Chapal Hill. North CaroKaa THURSDAY, AUGUST3I,I99S '"This is a University commu nity where all viewpoints should be heard. We are the only outlet for some students on campus CHARLTON ALLEN Publisher of The Carolina Review said. “We are the only outlet for some students on campus." Channel Smith, president of the NGCM, said she thought die committee was fair with the NGCM funding. Debate over the code change will be heated, Milner said. “There’s going to be some debate in the fall congress,” Milner said after his com mittee refereed the code changes to con gress without prejudice. “I think in the interest of preserving the integrity of stu dent government, Student Congress will pass the bill without major changes.” Before the code change is debated, Milner said he would take the bill to Uni versity legal counsel Susan Ehringhaus and ask her to examine it and give an “expert” opinion. If student government does not change the code to allow funding for politically partisan and religious groups, the UNC administration would have to override the Student Code and alter it to bring it into compliance with theU.S. Supreme Court’s decision. Congress has engaged in a longstanding debate over whether to fund student groups that endorsed candidates. The revised code will allow groups to endorse candidates in any campus, local, state or national elec tion. “The bill as written draws the line between campaigning for a candidate and making a general endorsement,” Milner said. from the NCAA, which does not allow teams to have organized practices during the summer. The NCAA allows 22 weeks out of the year to be used for organized practices, added Donna Papa, head coach of the women’s softball team. She explained that the softball team used 16 of their weeks in the spring and six weeks in the fall, and that the summer was considered their offseason. To make up for the time when they were not allowed to officially practice, athletes did a variety of activities to maintain their fitness. Most teams had their conditioning coaches develop programs for their ath letes to follow, which included stretching exercises, weight-lifting, speed training, and running. “I tried to keep in cardiovascular shape and maintain my strength, but my work outs were not as vigorous as during the season,” said Mandy Schnupp, a sopho more member of the track team from Pitts burgh. “I went home for the summer but talked to my coach before I left," she said. “I had See TRAINING, Page 4 UNC Jumps Into Money’s Top Ten: Ranked 6th Best Buy in Nation Top Ton Overall Best Buys 1.

Mother Jones Says University Tops in Student Activism BY ROBYN TOMLIN HACKLEY STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR UNC came out tops in two magazines’ college rankings this week. In addition to being the sixth best buy in the country, UNC’s campus was ranked ninth in Mother Jones’ ranking of activist college campuses. This is the second year that the maga zine has generated the list, which was topped by the State University of New Y ork and the City University ofNew York. UNC is the only southern college or university to grace the list, although the University of Florida received an honor able mention on the list. Mother Jones’ communications direc tor Richard Reynolds said Wednesday that the magazine assembled the list by inter viewing a range of groups, including the Student Environmental Action Project, Amnesty International, Habitat for Hu manity, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the United Negro College Fund and the National Oiganization for Women. BY BRONWEN CLARK UNIVERSITY EDITOR UNC climbed six spots on Money magazine’s list of the top 100 best college buys in the nation, moving into the top ten after falling to 12th last year. However, this ranking comes only a week before the Board ofTrustees holds apublic hearing to debate a possible S4OO increase in tuition. In a press re lease, Chancellor Michael Hooker said he was thrilled with the jump in UNC’s ranking. “It’s a compli ment to our mag nificent faculty and to the entire state,” he stated. “Students at Carolina do indeed have access to a superb educational experience at costs families can afford. And we are very proud ofthat. ” Money magazine ranked schools na tionwide by weighing the quality of educa tion the schools provide against the fees and tuition which charged. “I am excep tionally proud of that ranking,” said UNC System President C.D. Spangler. “It is something that represents the dedication of the people of North Carolina.” Catvin Cunningham, student body presi dent, said he was pleased that UNC had moved back into the top 10 but was con cerned that UNC was not ranked number one. “The first question that comes to mind when I see that we are sixth and not first is that in the constant struggle between cost and quality someone is doing a better job,” Cunningham said. “What is it about the New College ofthe University of South Florida that makes them a better buy?” UNC also moved up in its ranking among regional schools, second only to New College, but fell to second among public institutions.

The magazine lists each university with See ACTIVIST, Page 4 Articles to follow in this series: • Friday: Faculty Salary Increases •Tuesday. Library Funds •Wednesday. Financial Aid BOT special meeting preview ranked the number one best buy when compared to other state schools based on in-state tuition. “We’re still a wonderful opportunity for the people of the state of North Carolina,” Spangler said. “It can hardly be better than it is." The new rankings come at a particularly interesting time, as the Board of Trustees prepares to address the possibility of a tuition increase of up to S4OO at its Sept. 7 special meeting. This summer the N.C. General Assem bly approved a measure enabling the boards of trustees at the UNC system’s two re search I institutions, UNC and N.C. State, to raise tuition by as much as S4OO. The revenue generated by the possible tuition increase will remain at the respec tive campuses, with 35 percent ofthe fiinds earmarked for student financial aid and the remainder being channeled to faculty sal ary increases and library funding. Cunningham said he thought the rank ing would be a useful tool when examining the tuition debate, which is sure to become a more prominent issue on campus in the coming weeks. “If a tuition increase makes us a worse buy, it is an argument against the increase,” Cunningham said. “If it makes us the best buy, itisargumentforit.” However, Spangler said he felt an in crease in tuition would prove detrimental to the University. “It would be a terrible mistake (to raise tuition),” he said. 962-0245 962-1163
