Gogan said ATN representatives who worked with C-TOPS would distribute computers that students had purchased through Student Stores. He said freshmen would be required to attend a class at C-TOPS that demon strated how to use Think Pads. Professor Dan Anderson, who taught an English studies freshman seminar last semester, said the integration of com puter work would enhance classroom learning. “It takes a little more work, especial ly initially, but there’s a payback that BSM From Page 3 “Candidates seek the BSM endorse ment; we don’t seek them,” Black said. “A lot of times when people decide to run, they immediately call us.” The BSM forum has held a high rep utation historically. For the past four consecutive years, the candidate endorsed by the 500-member organiza tion has gone on to become student body president. Black said any candidate’s failure to obtain information and apply for the BSM forum was “inexcusable and an oversight on (the candidate’s) part.” Jones said that while she did not con tact any candidates individually about APPLICATIONDEADLINE for Fall 2000, Academic Year 2000 & Summer 2000 Programs is February 15, 2000 Apply online at http://study-abroad.unc.edu No late Applications will be accepted. “■ -Q < Stop by 12 Caldwell ; otuay Joy Ganes The University of North Carolina and Wachovia would like to congratulate Joy Ganes, The Wachovia Woman of the Week. Joy, a member of UNC’s Track and Field team, is a Junior from Bayshore, New York. Her accomplishments show that she excels both on the field and in the classroom. Joy has maintained a 3.08 GPA while earning All American and ACC Champion status in the High Jump. She also devotes much of her time to the University, for she is a member of Student Congress, the BSM, and is the Treasurer for DTH’s “Making a Difference.” Described as always smiling, Joy is a true role model for all students.

He said he tried to incorporate tech nology into the class by having students give presentations using Microsoft Power Point. UNC signed a deal with Microsoft last fall that gives all UNC students and faculty discounts on the company’s soft ware.

Though Harris said he. approached Elections Board Chairwoman Catherine Yates about the forum, he said nothing could be done. Elections Board member Marissa Downs, who was in charge of the forum schedule, said the Elections Board had no say regarding student organizations’ forums. “Basically, the (Elections Board) has no jurisdiction over forums,” Downs said. “We just try to work out.the logistics.” The BSM will endorse one of the stu dent body president candidates who From Page Three FORUM From Page 3 Controversial issues concerning the freestanding Sonja H. Stone Black Cultural Center and allegedly racist campus landmarks were also addressed. Martin said allowing other organiza tions to benefit from the BCC would increase acceptance. “I encourage other organizations to work with the BCC and hold meetings for other campus groups,” he said. Ray said a weekly insert in The Daily Tar Heel informing students of speakers and activities held at the BCC would increase awareness. While some candidates protested the speaks at the forum, Black said. Harris and Smith were invited to attend the forum blit not to speak. “Obviously, the BSM endorsement is their choice,” Harris said. “I’m sad the door is kind of closed.” Smith said he regretted he would not have a chance to address the BSM but was not surprised by the decision. “I think it’s a shame ... because I think we could do some great things together,” he said. “This action really doesn’t surprise me, since there is already a rumor that they have pre-endorsed Erica Smiley as their candidate and it wouldn’t make sense for me to speak at the forum.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. WACHOVIA Le §t-teci: names of several campus landmarks, other focused more on the future of racial reconciliation. Candidate Preston Smith said he wanted to move toward progress rather than focus the negatives of the past. “I want to focus on promoting certain centers like the BCC,” he said. Smiley, on the other hand, said the buildings and statues on campus with racial names and ties must come down. Campus debate erupted last fall after some students said the names of sever al campus buildings were racist because of their connection to the Ku Klux Klan. “I believe Silent Sam should be brought down and Saunders (Hall) should be changed,” Smiley said. “The South has always been resistant Dilbert© TO THE VP'S J | ( WHAT { AND THIS IS YOU OFFICE UJITH ttE.

Matthews said the University was currently seeking to fill 13 positions on the housekeeping staff, although UNC housekeepers make 5 percent more than housekeepers in the private sector. “Why are we increasing faculty salaries when housekeepers aren’t even on a living wage?” Smiley asked. “I think it’s ridiculous to hire more house keepers when the ones we have can’t afford to live in the city.” Wayne said the key was to appreciate housekeepers on a daily basis and listen to their concerns. pleasure 7 Alain-Rene Lesage novel, “Gil 8 Chaney of "The Phantom of the Opera" 9 Limitation 10 Blueprint 11 Spoken 12 Counterfeit 13 Grace conclu sion 18 Not long before 19 Deception 24 Portent 25 Fools 26 Stinging insect 28 Palm blows 29 First king of Israel 30 Otherwise 31 Kernel 32 Eyes, poetically 33 Oaf 34 Russian assembly 35 Ignited 38 Hyalite 39 May Alcott 40 Elderly 45 Large-horned mammals " 2 3 4 6 7 [8 |9 ■■so — [‘n 112 13 B 0 w 20 ■hf [74 26 |29 30 31 ■■■k; :v 40 ~ jM| mm mm* 58 60 ' —— —— “ 6? jllpT ■■l64 lTlif iatly (Tar Hrrl Some candidates pledged their devo tion to community service in their own platforms. “I’m proposing renovation of the Campus Y,” said candidate Michael Harris. “The top two floors are con demned and the basement is flooded.” Harris said he would rename the building the Michael K.
