10 Thursday, February 5,1998 CM REVIEW FROM PAGE 1 a freshman from Raleigh and a member of the women’s soccer team. Hart said positive feedback from ath letes and coaches made the program a success, although fewer students attend ed than expected. The halftime slam dunk contest held at the North Carolina vs. Appalachian State game also drew support. “The halftime slam dunk contest had more entries then ever,” said CAA Co president Jason Reynolds. “We were really happy about that." While some programs succeeded, CAA leaders said they wished some of the other programs had gone differently. CAA drew criticism about problems organizing its men’s basketball ticket dis tribution and Homecoming. One CAA leader said that internal problems marred the group. “I think that there’s a definite decline in the quality of work done this year compared to last year,” said Nicole Stephens, CAA public relations director. “We had a strong cabinet, but we did n’t have strong leadership. I think that everything that went down on the CAA comes down to lack of leadership.” Leadership might have caused prob lems with the CAA’s organization of Homecoming events. The annual CAA and UNC National Pan Hellenic Council step show almost did not occur because of a communica tion problem. And the CAA lip-sync concert was canceled for lack of interest shortly after the Black Student Movement announced a boycott. “(The communication problems) were unfortunate,” CAA Co-president Charlie Roederer said. “I think it taught us a lot about interaction with other groups.” Roederer said that despite the prob lems, the CAA responded well to them and that the end results, including a future policy contract between the CAA and NPHC, were positive. “The NPHC and CAA step show ended up working well, and the Homecoming parade was bigger and better than ever this year,” he said.

(The likelihood of ESPN not showing it is about as great as Dook winning the game.) Students lodged most of their com plaints at CAA’s ticket distribution poli cies. In September, the CAA announced its plan to return to student campouts for tickets after using a lottery the previ ous year. Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Sue Kitchen discussed the distribution policy with CAA members before it was approved. “I think we’d all look back now and say it didn’t work out the way we hoped,” Kitchen said. The CAA ran into difficulty imple menting its policies, drawing criticism for lack of security and inconsistency. Hart said that while the CAA had made some mistakes, the entire story had not always been presented and important details have been overlooked. “I think at times we’ve taken our hits wrongly,” he said. Reynolds said the campout criticism resulted from differing opinions. “I think that with what we had to deal with, our campouts went really well,” he said. CAA leaders agreed that increasing publicity and raising student awareness were goals of every CAA administra tion but were not easy to accomplish. In their platform last year, Reynolds and Roederer promised die most active publicity campaign in CAA history and more advertising in The Daily Tar Heel. “At times we did a really good job, but at times we could have done more," Reynolds said. In an effort to increase student involvement, the CAA sponsored a stu dent forum in the fall but received little response. No other forums were held because of a lack of student interest, Stephens said. “It’s frustrating because people fuss and complain, but when we provided a place and a forum for them to complain, no one showed up,” she said. Both Reynolds and Roederer agreed that the experience of CAA co-presi dents was worthwhile, despite the heat ed nature of the office. “It was a learning experience,” Reynolds said. “I know things haven’t gone perfect for us, but I hope some of the good things will leave their mark.” TUITION FROM MGE 1 es.” Charlie Roederer said he would “(fight) all tuition and fee increases.” Anne Neville promised to “combat future increases.” Lacey Hawthorne said she would lobby for a freeze on tuition for current students to “(prevent) any increases during your stay.” Danny Siegle did not mention tuition in his platform and could not be reached for comment Student government leaders said they had gone to Raleigh to lobby legislators with all student body president candi dates except Siegle. Kraft said the key to working with legislators was to understand budget constraints and to take reasonable posi tions. “We all know inflation happens, and if we fight every increase of every sort, every cost-of-living increase all the time, we discredit ourselves,” she said. Student Body President Mo Nathan, who has worked with the General Assembly in the last three budget ses sions, said he found legislators to be responsive to students’ concerns. “If you expect to walk in their doors and say, ‘l’m student body president at UNC-Chapel Hill, and listen to me,’ that’s pretty naive,” Nathan said. “They will respect anyone who walks into their door with an informed opinion.” And legislators respond positively to people they know, which means experi ence is important, Nathan said. “My job would have been immeasur ably more difficult if I had never had dealings with state legislators,” he said. Students face several difficulties in working with legislators. Because repre sentatives are only accountable to their constituents, they do not have to listen to those from outside their districts. Legislators also know that college age constituents tend not to vote as often as other constituents do. Also, some legislators think it’s unfair for poor people to support UNC through taxes in order to keep tuition low for future college graduates. Nathan said he had confronted all these problems. NEWS “I’ve had members of the General Assembly sit across from me and be blunt and honest and say, ‘I really don’t care about what you’re saying,”’ Nathan said. Chancellor Michael Hooker said stu dents played an important role in work ing with politicians. “Legislators listen to students, most especially students in their own legisla tive districts,” Hooker said. “Students can be a very powerful force in lobbying against tuition increas es.” Hooker was once waiting to see a leg islator when a student constituent showed up, he said. The student was shown in to meet with the legislator before Hooker was.
