In addition to promoting affordable housing, the board outlined seven major goals including: ■ Promoting environmentally responsible policies and practices. ■ Providing effective, efficient and responsible government including better staff organization. ■ Building a strong sense of commu nity by implementing programs to inte grate immigrants into the town. ■ Encouraging the development of affordable housing by utilizing options such as alternative building methods. ■ Encouraging economic, social and cultural diversity and vitality. ■ Promoting, developing and sup Campus Calendar Saturday 7 p.m. - The Black Cultural Center w ill sponsor “A Night in Paradise,” a benefit concert featuring Nnenna Freelon, Eve Cornelius and Eois Dawson.

But Kleinschmidt said it was not Congress’ responsibility to do so. “To my knowledge. Congress is only oblig ated to inform the Elections Board of district changes,” he said. “It’s then the responsibility of the Elections Board.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
