2 Tuesday, September 12,1995 CALVIN FROM PAGE 1 year fight.” Seniors Dean Hondros and John Dervin issued a report last semester railing for a 24-hourstudy facility. The expanded hours will apply for the next year, and the sched ule will then be re-evaluated. Cunningham said he convinced former Provost Dick McCormick early in the sum mer that the library should be open 24 hours. After McCormick left, Cunningham continued to meet with Yarbrough to dis cuss the proposal. “I called it a priority, and we were very persistent," Cunningham said. “(Student Body Vice President) Amy Swan worked long hours on this as well.” Yarbrough said she was impressed with student government’s effectiveness in pro moting students’ desire for expanded li brary hours. “We were happy to imple ment it and see what happens,” she said. Students will have access to everything in the Undergraduate Library but the nonprint and reference sections after mid night, including the computer lab. Accessi bility to information technology was one of Cunningham’s campaign issues. “It’s important to my agenda to have access to computers after hours,” he said. The Undergraduate Library may also be utilized in the future to house a women’s center and a late night snack facility, Cunningham said. ■ The U-bus is now free for students on a one-year trial basis. “We cannot take credit for the U-bus as an idea, but increased fixed route service, especially to South Campus, was part of my campaign platform,” Cunningham said. “When I got wind of a two-year-old idea for a free U-bus, we sailed it through the administration, ” he said. “It was essen tially a matter of convincing the vice chan cellor of business and finance and the vice chancellor of student affairs.” The Department of University Housing is funding much of the U-bus cost this fall. After this year provided enough stu dents ride the U-bus to warrant continuing the service funding may have to come from another source, such as student fees, said Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Transportation and Park ing. “It’s something that housing has been looking at for years because of the isolation ofSouthCampus,”Youngsaid. “Butwith outCalvin’sinputandforesight, thisproject would be much more finite and probably would not have been worth implement ing.” ■ The Point-2-Point nighttime service is alive and well after funding, which comes from student fees and University discretionary funds, was threatened this summer. “When the legislature was going to cut (University) funding, P2P was the first thing on the block,” Cunningham said.

Ad# 0000 “ When I got wind ofa two-year-old idea for a free U-bus, we sailed it through the administration. ...It gives me tremendous satisfaction when a student comes up to me and says, ‘Thank you for the U-bus. ” CALVIN CUNNIN6KAM Student Body President “I told the administration that students had three critical needs: We need to ensure that disabled students get from point A to point B, we need to get people to Student Health Services and after dark for safety purposes we have to have transportation, ” he said. “We fought not so much for P2P but for these three needs. “The result was that cuts made to Point 2-Point were restricted to faculty and staff use. We protected the student usage of Point-2-Point.” ■ Cunningham helped lobby the Gen eral Assembly for two capital expansion projects: the School for the Dramatic Arts and the UNC School of Law. The law school was granted $lO million for the renovation of its library, and the $B.l million dramatic arts allocation will be used to construct an extension of the Paul Green Theatre to house the Depart ment of Dramatic Arts, currently located in Graham Memorial Hall. When the drama department moves out, Graham Memorial will be home to a cen ter for undergraduate excellence, includ ing the Honors and Fellows programs. “We said, ‘Look, you get two buildings for the price of one,”’ Cunningham said. “The ultimate effect we had in the process I do not know, but we were there, and we took our position.” ■ The executive branch helped fight proposed budget cuts to the University. “We only got cut about one-third of what was originally proposed,” Cunningham said. “We also brought down the outra geous out-of-state tuition increases.” The General Assembly initially planned a 36 percent increase in out-of-state tuition over three years. Under the current plan, out-of-state students paid an additional 7.9 percent the first year, with smaller increases expected over the next two years. ■ Cunningham also lobbied unsuc cessfully in support of health insurance for graduate students. Despite the General Assembly’s rejection ofthe proposal, Gov. Jim Hunt supported it. “We were successful in getting the governor’s endorsement,” Cunningham said. “Graduate health insurance is now a priority of his.” Cunningham said he met individually with state legislators to discuss University concerns. “I would find out what committees were meeting that day. Whenever the appro priations or education committees were meeting, I was over there at the General Assembly,” Cunningham said. “Before or after the committee met, I cornered every member and explained our ARE YOU INTERESTED?

For example, one ofhis campaign goals was to increase the number of dial-in mo dems on campus as a means of aiding remote access to the internet. This was accomplished the total rose from 96 to about 250 —but the Office of Information Technology has been forced to put a cap at 150 because too many modems put a stress on the system. “(Another) thing I’m not satisfied about is the issue of cable in the residence halls,” he said. “We did a lot of research on it this summer, and it’s going to be a hot topic.” Cunningham also met with Chancellor Michael Hooker over the summer about access to information technology and charging a committee to reform the cur riculum for the first time in 15 years. “He’s wholly in support of my agenda and is willing to help facilitate its imple mentation any time we hit a roadblock,” he said. Cunningham said the office of student body president was a good fit for him. “I love this job. It’s extremely demand ing, but when we succeed, it is infinitely rewarding,” Cunningham said. “It brings me tremendous satisfaction when a stu dent comes up to me and says, ‘Thank you for the U-bus.’” TUESDAY 3:00 p.m. DISSERTATION SUPPORT GROUP: Help solve problems with support and specific strategies, in Nash Hall.

Ad# 0000 ®l|p Sally ular Hppl Weekend Attacks Part Of Trend BY SUSAN HAZELDEAN STAFF WRITFR Following attacks on three fraternity members over the weekend, the Office of Greek Affairs was anxious Monday to reassure members of Greek organizations on campus that they were not at any greater risk of assault than other students. Ron Binder, director of Greek affairs, emphasized that the danger was not con fined to fraternities and sororities. “There is a growing tendency of vio lence in society that is affecting all college campuses,” he said. “This is a student problem, not just a Greek problem.” There is no reason to suppose that stu dents involved in the Greek system are any more at risk than the rest of campus, said Chapel Hill Police spokeswoman Jane Cousins. “Students tend to be victims of crime, Greeks and non-Greeks alike.” Cannon said steps were being taken to make Fraternity Court safer. “We have stepped up patrols as far as those properties are concerned,” she said. A crime prevention and security semi nar will be held at 7 p.m. tonight in the Great Hall for all those pledging Greek societies which are members of the Inter fraternity Council and UNC National Panhellenic Council. “This is the first time we have staged an event like this," Binder said. “But it will involve about 500 students and be held at least every fall from now on." Anew lighting system has also been proposed for Fraternity Court. This is part of a larger proposed deal which would also place the management of the parking lot in that area under University control. “Hopefully anew lighting system could be installed as a benefit of this proposal,” Binder said. “There is certainly an added impetus ... now that safety is on all our minds.” Students also need to be aware that alcohol increases the danger of assault, Cousins said. “People who commit crimes often tar get victims that are intoxicated, ” she said. “That problem is townwide.” Everyone can help make the UNC cam pus a safer place simply by being aware, Cannon said. “All students need to be aware of their surroundings and who is coming onto their properties,” she said. “If anyone sees any one suspicious, they should coll the police immediately.” TWO TEENAGER'S SW dad, 41, smoker, brown hair/eyes, enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, NASCAR racing, seeking nonest SF, for friendship, loving companionship.
