'Peanuts'
Cartoonist
Schulz Dies
As Charles Schulz's famous
comic strip is published
for the last time, fans and
colleagues mourn his death.
Associated Press
SAN I A ROSA, Calif. - “Peanuts”
creator Charles Schulz died at home
late Saturday following a battle with
cancer, just as the last original cartoon
of his half-century career was being
published in newspapers worldwide.
Ihe 77-year-old Schulz was diag
nosed with colon cancer in November,
and his spirits recently sagged as he bat
tied the disease and pondered retire
ment, said Monte Schulz, his eldest son.
“I think maybe he decided that his
true passion was in the strip, and when
that was gone, it was over,” Monte
Schulz said Sunday. “He had done what
he had wanted to do, and that was it for
him.”
The son said that while the cause of
death Saturday wasn't known, “it
appears he died in his sleep, almost
between breaths.” His wife, Jeannie,
was with him when he died.
Fans and colleagues across the coun
try hailed Schulz as an irreplaceable
artist w hose work had become infused
in American popular culture.
“I think ‘Peanuts’ has been for most
of its existence the best comic strip in
history, and nothing’s ever approached
it,” said Mell Lazarus, who draws the
“Momma” and “Miss Peach” strips and
knew Schulz for 42 years.
Schulz himself left little doubt about
the strip’s role in his life. “Why do musi
cians compose symphonies and poets
write poems?” he once said. “They do it
because life wouldn't have any meaning
for them if they didn’t. That’s why I
draw cartoons. It’s my life.”

Seats Open in Congress Races
More than half of this year's
Student Congress seats, in
mostly graduate student
districts, lack candidates.
By Arman Anvari
Staff Writer
As many as 16 out of 26 Student
Congress seats could go unfdled in
Tuesday’s student elections due to a lack
of candidates.
Many Student Congress seats do not
have any candidates, and unless w rite-in
candidates surface
for each vacancy,
there will most
likely Oe a special
election in the
spring, said
Elections Board
Chiirwoman
Catherine Yates.
‘This happens
eviry year,” Yates
said.
“We have to have (a special election)
ii the spring, and sometimes the seats
still don’t get filled in, so we have anoth
er special election in the fall.”

Any write in candidates would win
with a simple majority.
If only one write-in candidate ran for
a certain Congress seat, he would be
ensured of winning with just one write
in vote.
If a write-in candidate did emerge
victorious, he or she would have to pro
vide the Elections Board with a financial
statement by 5 p.m. Wednesday, Yates
said.
“Write-in candidates usually don’t use
any money on their campaigns so they
turn in a statement of zero dollars,” she
said.
Student Congress Speaker Pro Tern
Abi Sommer said a perennial problem
with filling Student Congress seats was
finding graduate student representatives.
“The largest block of seats that are
always vacant -and this tends to be the
problem every year - are the graduate
students,’” she said.
Sommer said the lack of graduate stu
dent candidates stemmed from the fact
that they were pressed for time and were
discouraged from pursuing such posi
tions by graduate advisers.
Congress Speaker Mark
Kleinschmidt said a paucity of candi
dates to fill Congress seats was nothing
new.
News
“There are always more seats than
candidates,” he said.
“But this year, it’s more than usual.”
Kleinschmidt said classes canceled
due to inclement weather probably
affected the race.
“Traditionally, Congress candidates
make the decision to run at the last
minute,” he said.
“I think (the canceled school days)
contributed to it.”
He said many of the seats, especially
those for graduate and off-campus
Congress seats, would be filled by write
in candidates.
“Most of the people who do win will
be write-ins,” he said.
Yates said she was confident that all
Congress seats would eventually be
filled.
“I think there are actually going to be
several write-in candidates so we might
fill more than we expect and that will be
key,” she said.
“(The Elections Board) just takes it as
it goes because we have to deal with so
much this time of year.”

SBP Write-In Promises
Fun, Open Government
By Lauren Beal
Assistant University Editor
A seventh candidate has announced
his intention to run for student body
president, saying student government
needs to be more upbeat.
Bobby Hilbum, a junior history major
from Tabor City,
decided to run as a
write-in candidate
after talking with
friends. “We were
talking about stu
dent government
and how it seems
inapproachable,
almost boring,”
Hilbum said.
“I want to change the atmosphere of
student government - still serious but
more open.”
Hilbum said he would include more
students in the student government
process by going door-to-door and solic
iting opinions and help. “I would go to stu
dents and say ‘would you be willing to do
this for 30 minutes?’” he said. “Everybody
doesn’t have to be hard core.”
Monday, February 14, 2000
One of Hilbum’s ideas is to hold
“Mixer Days” on campus, when students
would participate in a type of lottery and
be matched up with other students for
the day. “They could go out to lunch
together and talk about their different
backgrounds,” he said, referring to his goal
of improving race relations on campus.
A campus “Thank You Day” for
UNC workers is also on Hilbum’s list of
goals. “(The grounds crew and dining
hall employees) deserve our thanks,” he
said. “They clean up our mess.”
Although he emphasizes fun, Hilbum
also has plans for the more serious parts
of the job, including the recent debate
about proposed tuition increases.
He said he wanted to look into
University donations as an alternate
source of revenue and push for a more
diverse faculty.
Above all, Hilbum said he wanted
students to vote. “I want to encourage
students to vote no matter what ... I
want students to vote on their own opin
ions,” he said. “Don’t be a puppet.”
