4 Monday, March 1, 1999 House Awaits Amendment To Enforce Session Limits The state constitutional amendment, passed by the Senate, would give state senators four-year terms. By Asta Ytre Staff Writer A state constitutional amendment that would create time limits for legisla tive sessions and lengthen senators’ terms in office is waiting to be intro duced in the N.C. House after being passed in the Senate. Forty-two senators voted in favor of the bill last week, and only two voted against it - Sen. Virginia Foxx, R- Guilford, and Sen. Hugh Webster, R- Alamance. Foxx said a law to shorten sessions was needed but that she was opposed to creating a constitutional amendment. Sen. Brad Miller, D-Wake, chairs the Senate committee that approved the leg islation. He said that because of the last lengthy session, legislative action was needed. Last year’s “short” session began in January and lasted up until a week before the November elections, more than three months past the deadline. “I don’t know if limiting legislative sessions is the solution,” Miller said. “At least there would be a constitu Haircut \ I OPEN: Mwi-firf 10AM-BPM W ~ immri itq ! 141 Rams Plaza rtOOC ■ (located off of 15-501. on the Bus Route) m *VbfcD Game, m**>i -<7f mMm ; apt ' ' tional outer time limit. That might help us finish in time.” The second part of the bill aims to lengthen the terms of senators from two years to four years. “If we aren’t always campaigning, we can attend better to the work of government,” Miller said. But Foxx said she was also opposed to four-year terms. “Giving four-year terms to senators is the opposite to ensuring citizen legacy because they don’t have to answer to the people as often," she said. Lee Mortimer, a member of the Washington-based think tank Center for Voting and Democracy, said four-year terms reduced account ability of elected officials to the pub lic. Instead, politi cians should pass a campaign finance “Voters won’t give the politicians four-year terms because they aren’t getting anything in return. ” Lee Mortimor Center for Voting and Democracy reform bill in exchange for getting four year terms to show accountability to the voters, he said. “Voters won’t give the politicians four- year terms because they aren’t get ting anything in return,” Mortimer said. Danny Lineberry, spokesman for House Speaker Jim Black, D- Mecklenberg, said that if senators received four-year terms, representa fives would want four-year terms as well. “Black is not very excited about the idea of four-year terms for senators,” Lineberry said. “It does not have much chance of passing in referendum.” Lineberry said Black wanted to reduce session length through better management before he considered the amendment. “Black won’t be in favor of the amendment at this point,” he said. Another issue discussed in the origi nal committee was a merging of the House and the Senate into one legislative body. The initiative was not approved by the committee. Currently, Nebraska has the only one-body leg islature in the United States. “No member took the proposal to merge House and Senate into one body very seriously,” Miller said. If the House passes the bill containing the constitutional amendment, a refer endum on the November ballot will decide its fate. The State & National Editors can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.

In two out of three rounds, participants had to knock their oppo nents off a pedestal. Nathan Hanna, a freshman chemistry major, showed amazing skill in defeating 11 opponents. “It was unbelievable,” he said. “No one could handle it.” Sophomore Kea Parker said she attended the event Sunday because she wanted tickets to Monday Nitro but WRESTLING From Page 3 process,” Bresloff said. “College students work all day, and when they come home they want to watch wrestling.” Another wrestling fan, Efren Saenz, was of the same opinion. “It’s kind of primitive entertain ment,” said Saenz with a laugh. “But it works.” Saenz, a junior physical education major from Jacksonville, said he enjoyed the social aspect of wrestling. He said he constantly talked about matches and argued with his friends about who was the best wrestler. Pierce said his group of friends also talked about wrestling. While they TRANSITION From Page 3 would include in the training would be to inform the soon-to-be treasurer of bills from current and previous admin istrations. “That’s been frustrating for me and Sara to collect everything that needs to be updated,” Davis said. “Our goal would be to be current on bills hanging over us and beyond that to have a checklist or system, so that the next treasurer will not be caught by sur prise.” Spring Break (@> SmOOthietfille Starts at Where the good stuff lives.

After three hours of waiting and hoping, Parker won two tickets to Monday Nitro. Freshman Matthew Taber conquered the mountain climb while his friends looked on. He said it was hard to get a good grip. “It was hard with everybody screaming and watching,” he said. Taber was ecstatic when he won the trip for two to Panama Beach City, Fla. for Spring Breakout ’99. Taber will spend March 20-22 hanging out with the Nitro Girls. “I thought ‘Holy Cow, I’m going to party in Panama City with my brother who’s by best friend in the world,”’ the business major said. “I hope my teach ers understand.” The University Desk Editors can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. were discussing Nitro in a biology class, some people sitting nearby joined in. “We made some new friends,” he said. “Now we sit and talk about it all the time.” Pierce said wrestling was a form of male bonding. While men make up the majority of wrestling viewers, many women watch Monday Nitro, making up about 25 percent of the show’s viewers, WCW marketing statistics show. WCW Fan Paige Gillikan said many people were surprised when they found out she watched wrestling. “A lot of people are like ‘you watch wrestling?’” said Gillikan, a junior communication and psychology major from Greenville. “I guess I don’t fit the redneck stereotype.” Dasher said he would likely be on hand to lend advice. “Whoever the next treasurer is, I’d be more than happy to share the information I’ve learned,” he said. “I’ve spoken with a few people about the possibility of (helping).” Dasher said McCollum taught him the Student Activities Fund Office pro cedures and allowed Dasher to shadow him while he did his job for two weeks. For training, Dasher said he would model his methods on that of McCollum and add things that he learned while in office. “I would ... make sure to introduce the new treasur Utyr Saily (Ear Upp! HOOKER From Page 3 For a period of time Hooker couldn’t be in large crowds because he was eas ily prone to infections, he said. “The worst time is (days eight through 14 after treatment) because my body is at its lowest point of resistance,” he said. Still, low resistance won’t stop Hooker’s plans of a trip to South Beach, Fla. with his daughter for Spring Break. Because of the possibility of catching an infection, he said he would take some small precautions. “I’ve got to wear a surgical mask on the plane,” he said with a laugh. “I’ll look like a freak.” The University Editors can be reached udesk@unc.edu. Gillikan and six women in her resi dence hall watch Monday Nitro every week. “It’s Dawson’s Creek every Wednesday and Nitro every Monday,” she said. “It’s our girl bonding time.” Whether male or female, many col lege students avidly cheer on the leer ing rants by masked men and unex pected leaps by greased champions. Wrestling fans tend to be loyal, said Jeff Tsipis, owner of BW-3’s. At the urging of a bartender, the restaurant and bar has shown Monday Nitro for the past two years. “A small cult following comes in every week,” he said. “They hoot and holler and get all into it.” The Features Editor can be reached at features@unc.edu. er to people responsible for the expen diture of student activities fees - the director of the a.p.p.l.e.s. program, the head of Student Legal Services- people like that.” Reynolds said that though a lot of help would be available, training would still be difficult without a full-time trea surer. “Brandon and I will be available to help in whatever way we can,” she said. “Obviously though, it’s going to be harder than last year.” The University Editors can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
