FROM STAFF REPORTS 1 Law School Exploration Pay EESSSEm Talk with representatives from 38 Law Schools and 2 Paralegal Programs Sponsored by University Career Services, Division of Student Affairs Off-campus residents say needs not being addressed M They often have trouble just getting to campus, off-campus students say. BY KERRY OSSI STAFF WRTER While more than 15,000 UNC stu dents live off campus, some say their needs are neglected by the University and by their elected student government representatives. Some off-campus students said it was unfair that University services were used mostly by on-campus students, but were paid for by fees from all students. James Kilboume, an off-campus stu dent and speaker of Student Congress, said many services were of greater ben efit to on-campus students who were more likely to use facilities such as the Student Recreation Center and computer labs because they had easier access. Student Body Treasurer Julie Gasperini said student government had discussed the possibility of an off-cam pus computer lab with Academic Tech nologies & Networks and the idea was being looked into. Most off-campus student concerns stem from the problems of transportation and parking. “I can’t go to the SRC or even just stop at the library because I can’t park any where without getting a ticket,” said Sa rah Danninger, a junior from Cary. TAs work to improve classroom techniques M The program is part of the University’s efforts to improve student teaching. BY ASHLEY HAGLER STAFF WRTER Created by the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Graduate Teaching Consultant program is anew addition to the plethora of services provided for stu dents. Because graduate teaching assistants make up a majority of the students who use the center regularly, many opportu nities are available to help them expand theirteaching abilities. Rachel Bowman, an instructional designer for the Center, said the Center offers consultations with faculty members, material support in the self-service media lab and personalized teaching surveys to graduate TAs. The Graduate Teaching Consultant Program offers a series of workshops, informal luncheon discussions, group critiques of videotaped classes and microteaching sessions for graduate TAs. “It’s exciting to talk with excellent teaching assistants from a variety of fields,” stated Sandra Hayslette, 1996- 1997 Graduate Teaching consultant. Director Virginia Lee said the pro gram had several goals. The first major goal was to improve the ability of less experienced TAs, and the second was to provide an additional level of profes sional accomplishment for TAs at the University. “(The program) was developed to un derscore the University’s commitment to really great teaching and to recognize that TAs do really fine work,” said 1996- 1997 Graduate T eaching consultant Lau AUDITOR FROM PAGE 1 candle to let your own shine. ” The exten sive negative campaigning disappointed him, Campbell said. “North Carolinians are ready to put aside negative politics, and this has been an example of the worst type of politics,” he said. But Daly said the publicity had helped his bid. “Anything I do that comes to the attention of the voters regarding my ide ology is clearly beneficial,” he said. Earlier, Daly said he was excited about the returns, which showed him ahead. “I’m pleased that at this point I’m leading among all council of state candi dates,” Daly said. He said Republican candidates would be helped by Republi can presidential candidate Bob Dole’s victory in North Carolina. If elected, Daly said he would audit UNIVERSITY m. Michael Hooker will address mik Student Congress Xglgjr’Vv' at 7:30 p.m. today gSr in Peabody 08. In 1995, there were 16,179 parking spaces on campus and only 3,562 of those spaces were given to students, in cluding those commuting from outside the Chapel Hill area, said Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety. To cut down on the need for campus parking, Gasperini said the areas served by SAFE Escort and Point-2-Point were extended last year to include off-campus sites, including Greek housing and Granville Towers. But some students said these services needed to expand further and make cam pus more accessible. “They park the P2P buses down on Airport Road,” Danninger said. “Why can’t they just have a stop or two around there?” Kilboume said he agreed there should be transportation alternatives off cam pus, especially for students who five within a two-mile radius of campus and therefore cannot get parking passes. “It s exciting to talk with excellent teaching assistants from a variety of fields. ” SANDRA HAYSLETTE Graduate Teaching Consultant rel Zeiss. The University, in efforts to support its 1,400 TAs, has also created Guide lines. Guidelines is a three-year project, which has compiled teaching standards from many departments to prepare TAs for teaching positions. Along with Guidelines, Lee said the Graduate Teaching Consultant Program reaches approximately 60 percent to 70 percent of all TAs at die University. The six consultants on the panel were chosen as representatives of the TA com munity from 12 applications. The con sultants led a series of workshops during the fall semester on teaching topics and have held informal brown-bag lunch dis cussions for TAs to talk among them selves about classroom situations. An informal late afternoon meeting is being implemented as well to accommodate the schedules of the TAs. Microteaching is another service pro vided by the Graduate Teaching Con sultant Program. It is a way for TAs to get immediate feedback on their ability. The TAs prepare a 10-minute mini-lesson, and a group critiques their performance. Group videotape critiques are also avail able, as well as individual critiques. “We think it’s a very valuable pro gram,” Lee said. “Although it is mainly designed for teaching assistants we wel come any student who is interested in teaching.” the auditor’s office. “I plan to go to the auditor’s office and identify the two em ployees who ran Campbell’s campaign and tell them to find new jobs,” he said. Daly said he planned to continue his work at North Carolina Fund for Indi vidual Rights, finish law school and get married, regardless of the outcome. Campbell said if re-elected he would add to the technological foundation he built during his first term. “We’ve been shaping a well-groomed professional or ganization, and we want to continue to do this,” he said. He said he thought he was the only reasonable choice for auditor. “My op ponent doesn’t have the training or the experience or the government auditing experience for the office,” he said. “It was between a person with experience against a (candidate) who has no experi ence on issues or plans for the office.” “Even thoughllivejustpast Granville, I still can’t take P2P,” he said. “It’s like there is an invisible wall between off and on campus.” But Kilboume said if off-campus stu dents would speak up and organize them selves, University officials would be more likely to listen to them. “If we wanted P2P to run in a two mile radius around campus, it’s probably do able,” he said. “We’re just not vocalizing our needs.” But Gasperini said student govern ment faced difficulties in its efforts to improve off-campus transportation. “It’s mostly cost restraints that have kept us from expanding P2P,” she said. “But I think there’s always been some concern that it would just be used as a taxi service.” Charlie Roederer, chairman of the Student Affairs Committee for Student Congress, said discussions on improving off-campus transportation should not focus solely on the P2P system. Instead, Roederer suggested more attention should be payed to buses. “The University pays so much money to Chapel Hill Transit, but students still have to pay the same fee as anybody on the street,” he said. The U-bus, which serves mostly on campus students, was made free lastyear, but Roederer said the $2 million the University paid each year should cover student bus fees for all routes or at least allow reduced rates. Group pairs students, terminally ill kids BY JON WILLIAMS STAFF WRTER Chronically ill children have some new friends this semester thanks to Karolina Kids, anew organization that is looking for members to help them make hospital stays for children a lot easier. “We are looking for people who are dedicated and who love kids,” President Tamesha Keel said. “We want to brighten the childrens’ stay at the hospital.” The organization was formed to counter what Keel perceived as a lack of awareness. “Terminally ill and sick children some times get ignored,” Keel said. Keel said the organization wanted to make people aware ofthe amount of care required for chronically ill children. “I found it fascinating how much care sick children needed,” she said.

Vice President Vemetta Johnson said the organization was going to be a small one due to the limited number of mem bers allowed. This is to help members keep in touch with each other and to make activities much more personal to the volunteers, she said. Johnson said members were expected to be dedicated to the purpose of the organization. That is why each member is expected to fill out an application and undergo an interview process. “We want them to understand that there is a time commitment every week, ” she said.
