2 Tuesday, March 26,1996 Sir Oatlti ear Brrl m rse -rr t~ a t- ■ DTH Must Respond to Student Needs Wendy Goodman said she wanted The Daily Tar Heel to continue to connect the community and the University and to respond to students' needs. “(The role of the paper is) to help people understand the important issues in the community and the town," she said. “We’re here to give students information about events in the community and nation. The paper’s role is also to respond to students’ needs.” Goodman said heightened awareness in the community would encourage debate on issues because readers could see the broader spectrum of issues around them. “There are a lot of students who read a story and have no idea about the story, and they have no understanding of the paper or the stories we report,” she said. Goodman plans to offer office hours to the public in order to receive input and questions. Goodman said she got involved with the DTH as a freshman because she thought it would be a good extracurricular activity. “But when I started covering stories I got this natural msh, ” she said. “I think it’s just in my blood.” Goodman said her experience as city desk editor had given her a good perspective on the time demands she would face as editor. She also said she had written for almost every desk at the paper and had a good idea of how the other desks work, which would help her better meet her staffs needs. “I’m well aware of the time constraint," she said. “There are nights when I could leave a lot earlier than I do, but I hang around to see what other desks do." She said she loved being in the newsroom and would move the editor’s desk from the private office into the newsroom to become more accessible to writers and desk editors. “I’m very enthusiastic, and I’m really excited when it comes to breaking news and stories,” she said. Goodman said she hoped that enthusiasm would spread in the office. Goodman said that she was excited about the strong founda- ZAFFRON FROM PAGE 1 anyone is going to judge me, they should judge me by the job I’ve done.

Today, the DTH examines two of the applicants for editor. Profiles of Graham Brink and Jeanne Fugate will run Wednesday. “/ want to get everything back to normal. I want to get back to business and move forward. ” ALEX ZAFFRON Carrboro Alderman work on this.” Robin Magee, the spokesperson for the Orange County Greens, stated in a press release that the organization decided to re endorse Zafifron because of his dedication to Carrboro. “Alex has demonstrated vigorous lead ership in effective transportation planning, housing opportunities for working people, Wendy Goodman f 9 tion the paper had built at each of the desks, and that she hoped that next year would be a time to build on that base as young writers gained reporting experience. Goodman said she was intrigued by the fact that the DTH was the largest paper in terms of distribution in Orange County. With such a large readership and a staff of approximately 150 comes a great deal of responsibility, she said. “I’d be a fool to say that I’m not intimidated (by the prospect of being editor). But it’s also very exciting and a challenge I look forward to, and maybe I can take on that challenge.” PROFILE COMPILED BY MARSHALL BENBOW. and an understanding of the interconnec tion of social justice and ecological respon sibility,” Magee stated. “Alex’s recall is based solely upon is sues that do not relate to his ability to serve as an elected official,” Magee said. “He has addressed those issues and moved be yond them to serve Carrboro.” Zafifron said although he was thankful for the support he has been given, he was ready for the election to be over. “I’ll be pleased to have a resolution to this issue,” Zafifron said. “I want to get everything back to normal. I want to get back to business and move forward. No matter what happens, I’m very pleased and gratified by all the support I’ve seen.” Strickland said the polling sites would close at 7:30 p.m. and unofficial results should be available at about 8 p.m. UNIVERSITY & CITY ■ Paper Should Bea Catalyst for Action Leslie Kendrick said The Daily Tar Heel’s role is to serve the community, and as editor, she hoped to give readers a multi layered look at issues. “I see the news as something that not only informs people, it empowers them to take action and to shape the forces that affect their lives, ” she said. “So that means it is the paper’s job to explore news that is relevant to the readers and help them make the connection between what’s going on in the world and how it affects them.” To help the readers make that connection, Kendrick wants to fosteT more inter-desk cooperation. She said that while each desk must cover its particular beat in order to get the news out, single faceted coverage also caused the news to be fragmented. “I would like to see coordination among the desks, and the way I see this happening is the Special Assignments ’ team becoming an area that pulls writers from different desks and puts them to work on an issue from different sides,” she said. Kendrick said she loved writing and chose English as her major to give her more flexibility outside of the standard journalism format. She said she did not see her lack of experience in the journalism school as a hindrance to performing her job as editor. Instead, she said it was crucial for her to be able to coordinate and organize the staff so that it was most efficient and best served the community. “An editor needs to be a person who can recognize people’s strong points and facilitate discussion among them,” she said. “The people (on staff) are the paper’s biggest resource.” Kendrick is currently co-president of the Women’s Issues Network (WIN), serves on the Honors Program Student Advisory Board and plays clarinet in the concert band. She said that while she would have to cut her involvement in those organizations because ofthetimeshe would spend as editor, she would maintain contact with them to help keep a finger on issues in the University community.

SCUTTLEBUTT FROM PAGE 1 future to construct a larger academic build ing on the land currently occupied by the Scuttlebutt and Swain Hall. If this proposal should pass, it would include plans for another snack shop like the Scuttlebutt. “We know we need a snack facility there, but the Scuttlebutt has deteriorated, and there is no way we can continue to use it,” Cunningham said. Geoff Kugel, a sophomore business major from Winston-Salem, said he would be sad to see the Scuttlebutt demolished. “It was a great place to get a snack on the way back from class,” said Kugel. Kugel said the location of the Scuttle butt was convenient for students coming from that area of campus. “It’s perfect for Granville students be cause it was a nearby place where you could use your meal card," he said. Since the closing of the Scuttlebutt, the main sources of snacks and supplies in the area has been the Blue Ram, a snack shop located in the Campus Y building, Student Stores and the Student Union. Cunningham said the BOT also voted to demolish the Arboretum Greenhouse on Cameron Avenue due to public health and safety concerns. WATCH THIS SPACE WEEKIY!

Kendrick also teaches writing in an education enrichment program for middle school students at Wake Summerbridge in Raleigh. She said the experience in teaching would be an asset to her as editor. “Teaching writing is doing the same thing as editing (which is) being a knowledgeable and constructive critic of other people’s writing,” she said. “In journalism, the rules change a little, but if you have a handle on die rules and the teaching skills, you're set to do a good job.” PROFILE COMPILED BY MARSHALL BENBOW.
