Hunt said over 1,000 businesses and brganiza tions had joined the City Search program. At the launch, Kavner voiced CitySearch’s intent for area colleges to join with business and community organizations on the web site. Student Body President Aaron Nelson assigned Larry Smar, senior advisor of policy and research, to work on UNC’s involvement. “A letter was sent out to student organizations before the the spring semester exam period,” Smar said. “The letters informed the organizations about City Search and invited them to a program on City Search. Some groups responded immediately, others are waiting until after the break. Ideally all of the student groups will get involved.” To date there are 14 student organizations with pages on City Search. An additional 11 organizations have posted their names, addresses and telephone numbers. Campus leaders said the program would benefit the campus. “The Student Union and student government have endorsed CitySearch’s efforts,” Nelson said. “Everyone seems to be signing on. I think the program will offer a tremendous information benefit for students.” City Search gives student organizations a different kind of web exposure. Anyone, including those not associated with the Uni versity, can access student groups through City Search. Citizens can currently access www.citysearch.com to find the Chapel Hill and Canboro sites. Organizers hope to have access to Raleigh and Durham available by the end of the summer.

Sophomore Ashley Rice of Southern Pines, who is attending both summer ses sions, said she had decided to take a course to have something to do in addi tion to earning some extra money. “I wanted to get a job and live in Chapel Hill so I decided to come to sum fO UNIVERSITY & CITY mer school, too,” Rice said. Sophomore psychology major Atia Hamid said she was enrolled in summer school because she wanted to get away from her hometown as much as further her degree. “Basically, I’m here to obtain more hours and to take a break from Greensboro,” Hamid said. There are also many students who are enlisted in summer school with hopes of raising their grade point average and sat isfying perspectives. Sophomore Ashley Barber of Hendersonville, who is taking Math 18, said she was in summer school because she wanted to fulfill her General College perspective requirements. “I’m here to catch up and get ahead," Barber said. Students wanting to catch up have a great deal to choose from this summer. Approximately 1,435 course sections are offered during the first summer school session, and about 1,288 sections are of fered in the second summer session. Summer school dean Jim Murphy said courses were offered based on students’ demand. “Every year we ask each department to evaluate which courses have excess de mand then we try to offer those courses in the summer,” Murphy said. “The same courses are not offered every summer, but there’s always about the same kind of mix.” Pamertime Flun I* ■VI Jewish j ar neeis: QUESTIONS? at N.G Hillel Cali Liessa at 942-4057 210 W.

SHAW STAFF WRITER A group of University students, includ ing Student Body President Aaron Nelson, will join more than 100 people from the area to attend a national rally for America’s youth in Washington, D.C, on the first of June. The Children’s Defense Fund will spon sor the rally, called Stand for Children, June 1 at the Lincoln Memorial. As the title suggests, the rally will focus national attention on the importance of families and children. “Stand for Children is the first national day of celebration and commitment to families and children,” said Giselle Lancaster, co-chair of the State Steering Committee for the Children’s Defense Fund. Lancaster said the Children’s Defense Fund conceived the idea for the rally as a way to work toward better services for America’s youth and their families. “It’s an opportunity for the old and young to come and show their dedication to children everywhere,” Nelson said. Nelson said that it was important to him personally and that students should attend and show their commitment. “It’s a celebration of music, dance, a 2,000 voice children’s choir and more,” Lancaster said. Lancaster saidMalik Yoba, starof“New York Undercover,” will host a special Youth Stage along with several other mo tivational speakers. Lancaster said more than 3,000 organi zations nationwide, including 30 Univer sity groups, have endorsed the event. Some of these organizations include Student Congress .People Against V iolence Everywhere and the UNC chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Marian Wright Edelman, president and founder of the Children’s Defense Fund, is a member Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.

Others are concerned that the state does not realize how much its economic pros perity depends on the University. For instance, many graduate students work in the state following graduation. The work they complete at the universities benefits North Carolina by helping faculty accrue grants and by educating UNC-sys tem undergraduates, 88 percent of which are North Carolina residents. Nathan said the House’s plan would lead quality in-state students out of the state for graduate school. Kraft said other institutions were en couraging their students to stay with gener ous financial aid. Nathan said, “Asa N.C. resident it’s cheaper for me to go to Virginia, Georgia Tech or Florida. A lot of other graduate schools provide tuition waivers.” Nelson said Hunt’s plan to provide in surance for graduate teaching and research assistants would have stopped some of this flow had the House funded the almost $8.5 million initiative. “We’re losing good in-state students because they can get bet ter health care,” Nelson said. University faculty are another group affected by the cuts, despite a 3 percent salary increase for all state employees. Hooker said, “It is profoundly distressing to me that our faculty and staff have not been offered a higher pay raise than is included in the House budget.” Kraft said she thought the House’s cuts would eventually hurt UNC’s reputation. “We’re falling in the rankings, and at some point we have to stop the slide.” Dervin said students were attempting to stop the slide by lobbying state senators who had yet to propose a budget. “Last year they were talking huge tu ition increases. Thankfully for the UNC system, our allies came in to rescue us,” he said. “We hope that happens again, but we don’t know.” 5
