UNC Students Benefit From Work at Local Schools BY LUTHER CALDWELL STAFF WRITER Over 100 University students donated their time and patience last semester as volunteers in reading and tutoring pro grams in the Chapel Hill-Canboro Schools system, said Pam Bailey, the coordinator for volunteer programs for the Chapel Hill- Carrboro Schools. Some of the student volunteers received academic credit for their efforts. Volunteers, who work in the local middle and high schools, are required to commit one full semester, for one hour per week, to the program, Bailey said. “We also ask that they be placed (in the schools) before the end of January,” she said. There are only lOweeksduringthissemesterin which fStudent ra# Elections I ™ . Notes Second Worker Cited for Violating Elections Rule The Elections Board will meet today at 4 p.m. to investigate the events surround ing two members ofMichael Farmer’s cam paign staff who were gathering signatures in the residence halls after houn. For the violations, Farmer could face any punishment the board deems appro priate, ranging from a warning to some thing more severe. One of Farmer’s workers was reported for campaigning around 9:45 p.m. Thurs day. The other worker was cited for cam paigning Monday around 3:30 p.m. The second worker knocked on an Election Board member’s door. Candidates may only go door to door in the residence halls from 7 to 9p.m. Sunday through Thursday during spring elections, according to a Sept. 19 letter from Anne Presnell, associate director ofhousing. The letter is posted on the Elections Board bulletin board in Suite C of the Student Union. Shuart Working to Prewent Premature Campaigning Asa retort to candidates who have trans formed their campaign staffs into official student groups, a ruling was made Mon day to regulate these groups’ methods of publicity. The ruling, made by Elections Board Chairwoman Annie Shuart, requires that, between now and Jan. 29, these organiza- UNIVERSITY & CITY of the project. “What we hope to accomplish this sum mer is the physical wiring,” said engineer David Valleroy. “The building of the cable TV system will not be done until after the summer.” The Physical Plant sped up the $4.1 million project so they could do the wiring during the summer when the high-rise resi dence halls were closed, Valleroy said. According to a memo from the chancellor’s office, the project is expected to be completed before the summer of 1999. UNC and Chapel HiU-Carrboro Schools have overlapping schedules, so the Volun teers and Partners for Education need worker confirmations early. Some students received class credit for their volunteer work through the a.p.p.l.e.s. internship program at UNC, Bailey said. She said some entire classes volunteered in return for one lab course credit. “UNC students have played a vital role, ” Bailey said in the press release. Volunteers are placed with teachers in special training programs, such as the reading recovery program for first graders, she said. “Volunteers are taught strategies which are consistent with the curriculum, ” Bailey said. Mark Kinsey, an English master’s can didate, volunteers as a paper grader. While tions publicize for organizational purposes only and that all publicity must state the following: “Students interested in the support of (candidate’s name) for the office of (which office) are meeting to organize (where and when).” The Elections Board’s concern is that nobody be accused of campaigning prior to the start date. “The ruling was made to ensure that no one could be accused of violating the Stu dent Code and that publicity materials could not be used as campaign materials," said John Curtis, the assistant director for student activities. Curtis said the differ ence was in whether the publicity called for a vote or just support. Student body president candidate Aaron Nelson and Carolina Athletic Association president candidate SethNorehave formed groups officially recognized by the Univer sity. These groups will have access to Uni versity facilities and equipment, which are normally unavailable to student campaign staffs. Fewer Candidates Than Seats in Congress Races Only 24 students had signed up to run for the 37 seats in Student Congress on Tuesday. The following undergraduate districts have no candidates: Dist. 10 (Spencer, Alderman, Kenan, Mclver and Aycock Residence Halls), Dist. 12 (Lewis, Everett, Joyner, Alexander and Conner Residence Halls), Dist. 16 (Morrison and Craige Resi dence Halls), Dist. 17 (Granville Towers), Dist 18 (area west of Columbia Street, south of Jones Feny Road and south of Highway 54), Dist. 19 (area north of East Franklin Street, east of Columbia and Air port Roads, and south of Estes Drive) and Dist. 20 (area east of Columbia Street and south of East Franklin Street). STAFF REPORT Valleroy and Jessica Godwin, president of the Residence Hall Association, also said designers were looking into asbestos problems. Although asbestos is present in the resi dence halls, it will not be a danger to residents, Valleroy said. Cost prevented the removal of all asbestos, but the con struction would follow all state asbestos regulations, he said. “We can wire the dorms by taking away asbestos in small areas, ” Valleroy said. “In other words, we can get rid of the asbestos in areas where we’re working.” not working directly in the classroom, Kinsey said he enjoyed volunteering. “I personally gained experience, and Iplanto teach myself," Kinsey said. “I wanted to get more involved in the community.” The more group-oriented volunteer work deals with programs such as helping children with attention deficit disorder, Bailey said. “We also accept individual requests from teachers,” she said. Kristen Fanarakis, a sophomore from Winston Salem, tutors a child at Estes Hills Elementary School. The boy is a third grader who reads at a first-grade level. Fanarakis said that the one-on-one na ture of the program helps to make volun teering effective. She said that the child’s parents are immigrants and that the boy started school a level behind.

Godwin said she would present the sur vey results to a task force on residence hall wiring, but she said she did not expect to finish tabulating the results for another week and a half. “I feel like (task force members are) going to follow our recommendations,” she said. “It is a major part of the project takes him to a reading room to work in a more comfortable setting. She said that he is less shy working alone with her. She said she works two hours a week, two days a week. “I feel like I’ve become a friend to him," she said. Marie Bennetone, a reading teacher at Ephesus Elementary School, said that she had three volunteers working on a rotating basis. Their duties consist of reading with an individual child for 15-20 minutes. “They are like an extension of myself, ” Bennetone said. “The children see them as a buddy rather than in a parent-teacher role,” she said. She said the volunteers were a great resource to her. Fanarakis said that she would definitely recommend the volunteer program and that it was very rewarding. out on a journey to raise $500,000, and I’m pleased to say that our journey has ended. ” The campaign, comprised entirely of University employees in Orange County, donated $528,156.99 to benefit local, state, national and worldwide agencies in 1995, Kupec said. Quoting sportscasterDickVitale, Kupec expressed his congratulations to the group. “I’m really in awe of what you all have done, ” he said. “This money will make our Wednesday, January 24,1996 to get residents’ input.” Student Body President Calvin Cunningham said the funding for the project was coming from long distance telephone bills on campus, a source that amounts to $900,000 ayear. The engineers are still designing the project, however. “The crux of the situation is the holdup,” Cunningham said. “Ithinkthemoneycould be there tomorrow if the engineers were ready.” He said another reason for delay is that students cannot live in the buildings while they are being wired. Funds for BCC Lag Behind Goal ■ Students and faculty are working to raise $7.5 million for a free-standing BCC. BY MARVA HINTON STAFF WRITER Fund-raising efforts for the free-stand ing Sonja H. Stone Black Cultural Center remain sluggish in the wake of the $5.7 million that still needs to be raised. Although black newspaper publishers in North Carolina pledged SIOO,OOO to help fund the construction of the BCC last week, only $l.B million of the $7.5 million needed to build the free-standing center has been raised. Since 1988, the BCC has operated out of 900 square feet of space in the Student Union. The proposed free standing BCC would include class rooms and a library. Despite difficul ties ingathering sup port from alumni, Gerald Home, the new director of the BCC, said he was optimistic about raising the funds. BCC Director GERALD HORNE said he planned to contact alumni to raise money for a free-standing BCC. “We’re confident that fund raising is on track,” Home said. Home said he would like to concentrate on fund raising before he begins teaching in August. “I would like to do as much in the next six months as possible,” he said. Meetings with BCC supporters on cam pus have been Home’s main effort, he said. “I have been meeting with the develop ment office and student groups,” Home said. “We see the student fund raising as very important, not only for the money it raises, but also for the publicity.” Nina Jones, a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., said her sorority sup ported the fund-raising efforts forthe BCC. “We’re donating all the proceeds from our annual Sweetheart Ball in February to the BCC,” Jones said. Black Student Movement President Ladell Robbins donated the SSOO he re ceived as the winner of the 1996 Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship to the con struction of the BCC. Contacting prominent student athletes has also been a priority, Home said. “A prominent pro football player is about to make a large contribution to the School of Social Work," Home said. “We hope that will encourage other athletes to contribute (to the BCC).” state that much better.” Chancellor Michael Hooker praised the campaign for “pressing through barriers to achieve its objective.” “You must acknowledge yourselves for having gone beyond your goal," Hooker said. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much.” Volunteer coordinator Matjorie Crowell See SECC, Page 5 3
