<n? t Sailg (Tar Heel Group works to help out-of-state students BY KERRY OSSI STAFF WRITER The newly formed Out of State Stu dents Association met for the first time Thursday to discuss tuition hikes, airport transportation and residence hall hous ing during breaks. OSSA Co-chairwoman Leah Shutt, a senior from Atlanta, said Thursday that the group plans to lobby against tuition increases. “Out-of-state students already pay 98 percent of what it costs to go to school," she said. “If they keep raising tuition then we’ll end up paying more than it actually costs (to go to UNC).” OSSA Co-chairwoman Betsy Mand, a sophomore from Danville, Va., said the group also hopes to set up airport trans portation using the Point-2-Point shuttle in time for Fall Break. “Taxis and even the shuttles can get very expensive,” she said. “We’d like to see this service run for free, but at least it will be cheaper than what we have now. ” Mand said the shuttle would run hourly the day before a school break. “This will be a good service open to all students and it will be around for a while,” she said.

Student Body President Aaron Nelson said student government has asked that the residence halls stay open during Fall Break next year. In 1982, they remained open for Fall Break but closed again the next year because of lack of student de mand. “Students need to put the pressure on,” Nelson said. “Folks listen to the students, so you all are now empowered to make some changes for those from out of state.” Summer storage is another difficulty out-of-state students must deal with. Shutt said through OSSA students can find cheap storage areas and form groups to split the cost. Nelson said the University is consid ering plans to secure an 18-wheeler to help students with summer storage. “You box up your own stuff then the school brings around an 18-wheeler,” he said. “You pack everything in there and put it in a secure place.” “We try to recognize people who are well known and continue to promote them as role models. ” LUCY LEWIS Commission member This year marks the first time the com mission is offering a Pauli Murray Hu man Relations Youth Award for stu dents in grades six through 12. These youth must meet many of the same crite ria that the adults do, Lewis said. The purpose of this award is to “en courage young people’s leadership, which is importantfor future humanrelations,” Lewis said. ... Potential award winners must make it through two levels of consideration. Applications are screened first by the Orange County Awards and Honors Committee. It narrows down the appli cants and gives their recommendations to the Orange County Human Relations Committee, which then makes a final decision, Lewis said. All applications are due by Oct. 7. Decisions about recipients will be made in late October. In November, the Or ange County Board of Commissioners and the Human Relations Commission will present the awards. The adult recipient will receive a framed certificate. Donations are being taken to present the youth recipient with a savings bond, Lewis said.

House votes to override Clinton abortion veto THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—Scoring a big win for anti-abortion forces, the House voted Thursday to override President Bill Clinton’s veto of a bill that bans a form of late-teim abortion. But the Senate seemed very unlikely to follow suit. The apparent lack of sufficient sup port there makes it unlikely that the at tempt to overturn the veto of the so called partial-birth abortion bill will suc ceed. However, the House vote sent a message that the issue will not be ignored in the presidential campaign. Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole has campaigned actively on the issue. He said Thursday that as more Americans become aware of the “hor rible” practice, “the president has been ALCOHOL FROM PAGE 1 Hawthorne said she appreciated the University Police in forming students of their plans. “We didn’t think it would be fair for students not to know anything before the game on Saturday,” Hawthorne said. CAA President Seth Nore said, “I feel that we should do what is best for the safety of students. We certainly don’t want to vandalize our new stadium.” Gold wanted to stress that drinkers would not be cited for violating Chapel Hill’s open-container ordinance. That ordi nance is not enforceable on campus, Gold said. But the issuance of citations, is enforceable under state statutes against public consumption of alcohol, he said. “Public consumption means the actual consumption of alcohol,” Gold said. “An officer has to see the act in order to issue a citation.” If an officer does see the act, violators will face infraction costs plus court costs. The fines for drinking underage or public consumption ranges from $lO to $75.G01d said officers would periodically patrol the restroom area. Season ticket holders received letters about the issuance of warnings for alcohol consumption at UNC’s first home football game Graves said. The tougher enforcement came in respone to Chancellor Michael Hooker’s desire to fight alcohol abuse on campus.

Seventy Democrats joined 215 Republicans to support revival of the bill, which would ban a procedure generally performed in the third trimes ter in which the fetus is partly deliv ered through the birth canal before being killed. If enacted into law, the ban would mark the first time Congress has made illegal a specific abortion procedure since Bizarro [who WA5\ foH,NOONE.

Supporters of the ban emphasized with pictures and speeches the gruesomeness of the procedure. “How can anyone in this chamber or in the White House defend sticking a pair of scissors into a partially bom baby’s head so as to puncture the child’s skull?” asked Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J. The bill, if passed, would let doctors perform the procedure only if they can show it was the only way to save the mother’s life. A doctor who performs the procedure illegally could face fines and two years in prison. The bill also would let the father or maternal grandparents file a civil lawsuit against the doctor for monetary damages. Friday, September 20,1996 Levrs We will not be undersold in denim.
