2 Tuesday, February 2, 1999 Printed Endorsements An Elections Faux Pas BSM President Tamara Bailey says the rules are a "systematic" attempt to take power from her group. By Shannon Snypt Staff Writer Recent legislation has restricted orga nizations such as the Black Ink, the Carolina Review, and the Blue and White from endorsing candi dates in their pub lications, because they use student activity fees. Morayo Orija, Hi speaker of Student Congress, said that the legislation reinforces from the orig inal bill the restriction placed on the use of student fees for publications. “No groups can use funds on behalf of any candidates,” Orija said. “Any biased writing pushing for one candi date over the other, such as criticisms of any sort would be prohibited, but objec tive reportings on the elections, such as polls, would be permitted.” The legislation states, “The expendi ture of Student Government funds on behalf of any candidate ... except such funds to conduct such elections, refer endum, initiative, poll, or other review, or campaign subsidies is prohibited ... This shall in no way infringe upon the right of any of the media funded by stu dent government to endorse or print editorials, articles, or letters, for or against any candidate or referendum.” This legislation does not specifically target the Black Student Movement, but other organizations that also use student activity funds, like the Carolina Review and the Blue and White, Orija said. But BSM President Tamara Bailey said the act was directed at the BSM GROUNDHOG HI present& it& ANNUAL GROUNDHOG DAY CELEBRATION mitii 25 € WINGS and s2*oo Pints 149 1/2 E.

Election Board Chairwoman Heather Faulk said that the legislation was not an attack against the BSM; it merely clari fied what is appropriate for endorse ments in the election campaign. “We are in no way trying to infringe upon anyone’s editorial freedom,” Faulk said. The candidates will not be charged for endorsements through their limited campaign funds. Orija said endorsing candidates by using student activity fees was a ques tionable use of the funds. “The legislation was merely to clear up the issue of groups endorsing candi dates so that their student funds are not yanked,” Faulk said. Electioneering of this sort would result in the pulling of student govern ment funds from the organization, she said. “Congress will do anything to sys tematically take away the power of the BSM on campus,” Bailey said. Orija said she planned to personally address all organizations on campus in a letter that would fully explain the restric tions in order to clear up any miscom munications. Still, Bailey said the legislation will in no way prohibit the BSM’s involvement in the elections. “Congress can never change the power of the black community when they come together on campus to endorse a candidate,” she said. “Sometimes it only takes word of mouth to make a difference.” The University Editors can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. University & City RHA Candidate To Stress Diversity Sophomore Jermain Reeves has his foot in the door as a candidate for Residence Hall Association president Reeves said the focus of his campaign was increasing communication between students and die RHA, providing better housing facilities and promoting diver- sity. “I think we need to build upon the representation that’s already in the dorms,” he said. “The RHA needs to communicate with students because, I think, the communi cation gap slows down progress.” Reeves said his first goal if elected was to survey students on their housing concerns. In addition, Reeves said he would promote more forums and get State Policy Allows Acceptance of Gifts By Andrew Meehan Staff Writer Although state statutes strictly regu late gifts from outside companies to University employees, some adminis trators said they were wary of any gift because they wanted to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing. * For example, the director of the General Alumni Association said he canceled his trip to the Super Bowl to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing. Doug Dibbert, who is also the direc tor of the University’s alumni affairs, was offered two tickets to the game for himself and his son from MBNA, a bank that the GAA deals with. After questions from The Daily Tar Heel, Dibbert said he checked with University legal counsel Susan Ehringhaus, who told him that the trip was acceptable according to the law.

Reeves also said there was need for more standard meeting times for area governors and resident assistants. “From what I understand, the RAs don’t have contact with RHA, and I want to try and work on a better way to close that gap.” Another issue Reeves said he wanted to tackle was the quality of campus liv ing conditions. Asa two-year Morrison Residence Hall resident, Reeves said he was not satisfied with campus rooms. He said he planned to lobby the Department of University Housing for new beds to replace the steel ones already in use and to fix the gaps between air conditioners and window frames. University administrators who partici pate in contract-making processes with outside companies from taking gifts from those companies. The GAA is an autonomous organization separate from the University. But Dibbert canceled the trip anyway. “It was. not that important,” he said. “Fve earned my reputation, and I’m certainly not going to let someone miscast it” The GAA endorses MBNA credit cards for students and alumni. In return, those that apply and are accepted for the cards receive benefits that the GAA requests. Dibbert said about 35,000 peo ple have received the cards since GAA began offering them. Dibbert was one of the chief negotiators when the GAA made the deal with MBNA. MBNA also compensates the GAA, which uses the compensation for its own programming, Dibbert said. The con tract prohibits him from disclosing how much the GAA receives, he said. 7 p.m. - Stanley Katz, former presi dent of Asian Development Bank, will lecture on “The International Financial Crisis: The International Monetary Fund and its Critics,” in Hamilton 100. The lecture is part of the 1999 Great Lecture Series, a program sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association. 7 p.m. - AIESEC, the largest stu dent-run international exchange pro gram in the world, will hold an infor mation session in McColl 2050. While current RHA President David Jemigan toured residence halls in September to report on living condi tions, Reeves said he would not conduct another tour but would rely on survey results. He said that if less than 15 percent of campus residents responded, he would consider touring residence halls. Reeves also said he would like more diversity among the regions of campus and proposed a diversity program to make North Campus residents com posed of 25 percent minorities. He said he was in favor of a program where minority applicants who pick North Campus as their first housing choice would be considered more strongly than other candidates, he said. “If there’s 10 percent African Dibbert said other alumni associa tions from ACC schools would send representatives to the game as guests of MBNA. Debbie Dußose, the executive director of the Clemson University Alumni Association, said her organiza tion sent a representative to the game. While Dibbert was offered Super Bowl tickets, Provost Dick Richardson said he had never been offered anything that large. He said that in his 30 years of teaching, the most contact he has had with corporations was through textbook publishers. He said publishers would pitch their books to him, but they had never offered him a gift of any kind. He said the only gifts he ever exchanged were books or paperweights with foreign visitors. “There is some feeling of appropriateness with this.” Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Services Dean Bresciani said the benefits to the entire University had to be weighed against the gift. “When pub Wednesday noon - The Diabetes Group will meet in the Wellness Resource Center, Fetzer Gym. Bradley Hack will speak on stress management. Please bring a brown bag lunch. For more information call 966-6562. 4 p.m. -Make-up final for Dr. Behavie’s fall semester Econ 10 and Econ 130 classes will be held in Hanes 308. 5:30 p.m. - George M.C. Fisher, Haily QJar Uteri Americans, and only 3 percent living on North campus, you need to make things more proportionate,” he said. Reeves said he might run into some obstacles implementing this program because of legal issues, but he said he would still try to make it a reality. Because he has not had any experi ence with RHA, Reeves said he hoped to work side-by-side with Jemigan for the last few months of his administration and pick people who have some leader ship experience to help him. “Because we are a multicultural school, we should have multicultural leaders to play on everyone’s opinions and to reach out to a broader base of stu dents.” Compiled by Lindsay Kim lie agencies interact with private agen cies, that is where someone has to be careful,” he said. “It’s really a case-by case basis.” At the end of the year, University employees must fill out forms detailing any possible conflicts of interest that could arise from their activities outside the University. They must also list any gifts they received. Ehringhaus said she did not know of anyone that had been charged with taking a bribe. Also, Bresciani said he had never accepted a gift for himself from a com pany, but he had been offered gifts. He said the offers ranged from a turkey to money for the University or himself. He said he had always either given the gifts to charity or to the institution. But, he said, it would be possible to eth ically and legally accept a gift.
