2 Monday, October 14,1996 Community forum showcases candidates ■ Commissioner candidates met in a forum sponsored by Tax Watch. BY AMY CAPPIELLO ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR Representation methods and schools were among the issues discussed Sunday during a public forum for those Orange County residents seeking a place on the Orange County Board of Commission ers. Hosted by Tax Watch, a public inter est group, the forum allowed residents to meet and learn more about those seeking a commissioner’s seat. Only Margaret Brown and Patrick Mulkey attended the forum. Incumbent Moses Carey and a fourth candidate did not attend. Each of the candidates began by talk ing about their stance on the issues. Brown said she believed planning for growth was one of the most important issues the commissioners faced. “I’m very concerned about good plan ning,” Brownsaid. “I think it is one of the ways elected officials can lessen the cost of growth by good long-range plan ning.” Mulkey concentrated on long-range financial planning. He said the Board of Commissioners needed to work to make sure that Orange County was a place where people could afford to live. “I hate for people to have to decide / Hew in MEXICAN g RESTAURANT IH All ABC Permits 237 S.

The first question dealt with whether the candidates were in favor of district representation for the commissioner’s race. Mulkey said he was in favor of a modi fieddistrictrepresentationplan. “Iwould like to see a district representation plan that would encompass nominating some one from the district at the primary and having them be voted on at-large in No vember,” he said. Brown did not say whether she was in favor of district representation. Instead, Brown said she wanted to review the issues surrounding the representation debate before making a decision. School overcrowding and an upcom ing state school bond were also discussed at the forum. Mulkey said the growth of both the Chapel Hill-Canboro School System and the Orange County School System was of tremendous concern. He said that while more schools were needed, money should be spent more on education and less on the capital costs of building the schools. Brown said the overcrowding of the schools was of particular concern to her. “ I strongly support the bond for school construction,’’she said. “We desperately need it to build schools in Orange County.” FOR BEST SELECTION Preview Appointments Information Call: {919) 932-3494 A k JM I 137 E.

(Lift Sails Sar Retl Privatization needs care, council says ■ The Faculty Council advocated balancing justice and economic efficiency. BYRAYWATTERS STAFF WRITER Chancellor MichaelHookeraddressed privatization at Friday’s Faculty Council meeting, and the council voted to en dorse a resolution on privatization al ready endorsed by the group’s Commit tee on Privatization. The resolution, adopted by the Em ployee Forum in May, states that “the University must balance and blend the values of economic efficiency with val ues of justice, education and social re sponsibility.” The state legislature has told universi ties and other public agencies to begin looking at more efficient ways to provide services. The issues has garnered a great deal of attention at UNC, especially among the University’s houskeepers. “The issue of privatization is one that is vexing for me and it should be for all of us,” Hooker said. “It’s something in vir tually every legislature. We cannot es cape from addressing the question (of privatization).” Hooker said if the decision was up to him he would not even consider privatizating housekeepers. “The human cost of doing so, in anxi ety and disruption, is greater than the value that can be realized, I believe,” he said. Student Body President Aaron Nelson said he agreed with Hooker that the hu man cost was too great in comparison with any potential monetary gain. The resolution that the council passed further states that any decision to priva tize must consider not only the effect on the University but also the effect on em ployees and the public. The decision must include participation by the University community and support the values of that community, according to the resolu tion. “The strength of the institution comes largely from a sense of community,” Hooker said. “Anything that we do that undercuts or damages that sense of com munity ultimately affects the quality of what we do,” he said. In other business, the council also passed a resolution from the Advisory Committee on Undergraduate Admis sions that calls for faculty involvement in the admissions office’s efforts at recruit ing the brightest students to the Univer sity. Jim Walters, director of undergradu ate admissions, said many potenetial stu dents shied away from UNC because of a lack of student-faculty interaction. “Market research showed that stu dents felt that they did not have the fac ulty contact they could at some of our primary competitors.” BOOKS!
