and she did not anticipate the issue
would in the future.
David Helton, director of police and
public safety at UNC-P, said he hoped
a May 4 meeting of UNC-system cam
pus police captains would help police
be more effective. He said police could
prevent some violent incidents by fore
warning the off-campus student popula
tion of dangerous situations.
Last fall, UNC-Chapel Hill police
sent out mass e-mail messages, warning
students of a series of attempted sexual
assaults near Franklin Street.
Jeff McCracken, deputy director of
UNC-CH public safety, said the recent
spate of shootings was the worst in his
memory, but he did not think they were
indicative of a larger epidemic.
“The best things that students can do
for their safety is be aware of their sur
roundings,” he said. “If they see any
thing at all suspicious, they should not
hesitate to call the police."

member of the nine-person Town
Council.
The Lincoln City Council is made up
of part-time elected officials who earn
$12,000 annually, while Chapel Hill’s
Town Council members are elected at
large and earn $7,500 per year.
Despite the differences in the two
municipalities, Chapel Hill Mayor
Rosemary Waldorf said she was ready to
start working with Moeser and said the
chancellor would be instrumental in dic
tating the way in which the University
worked with the town.
“The chancellor is extremely impor

ways the town and the University work
together on a daily basis, and I think the
chancellor sets the tone.”
Waldorf said she met Moeser on
Saturday and gave him and his wife her
card and encouraged them to call with
any questions.
Aaron Nelson, assistant to the chan
cellor for community relations, said
Moeser would have serious issues to
attend to when he takes his post Aug. 15.

associate vice president for state gov
ernmental affairs.
Recovery efforts from Hurricane
Floyd, court-mandated tax refunds and
tax cuts have all combined to make bal
ancing the state budget a difficult task
this year. Any new appropriations will
therefore be especially difficult.
“It’s a very tough year financially,
especially for significant new initiatives
(such as the aid package),” Metcalf said.
“(The decrease in cost) might, in some
small way, increase prospects that the
legislature would be able to consider
funding it as a whole or in phases.”
Lee Conner, former president of the
UNC-CH Graduate and Professional
Student Federation, said the package’s
lower bottom line would not keep him
from lobbying the legislature this sum
mer. “It’s always easier to pass some
thing that requires less money,” said
Conner, who served on the task force
that developed the package last fall.

future development of the Horace
Williams Tract,” he said.
Council member Flicka Bateman
echoed Nelson’s comments by saying
that University expansion and UNC
paying its share of town services were
the two most pressing issues facing the
new chancellor. “Horace Williams is
always an issue,” Bateman said. “The
University paying its share of sewer ser
vices is also a pressing issue.”
Bateman said one example of the
University not paying for what it used
was cleanup after celebrations.
“The night after the Final Four, the
town paid for the cleaning,” she said.
Seng, a 13-year member of the
Lincoln City Council, said Moeser had
been instrumental in encouraging
UNL’s Athletics Department to help the
city raise money for a minor league
baseball field, which broke ground in
Lincoln on Wednesday.
“We got $lO million from the city and
$lO million from the university.
(Moeser) threw a ball out as part of the
celebration,” she said.
Bateman said she had read many arti
cles chronicling Moeser’s success and
she offered some advice for the new
chancellor.
“Be open,” she said. “Just be recep
tive. Be able to look at things from not
only the University side but from the
residents’ point of view.”

LEGISLATURE

version of the BOG, was much less vis
ible in policy-making than UN chancel
lors.
He said that if a Nebraska school
wanted to pass a proposal, it would rec
ommend it to the Board of Regents,
which would then vote on the recom
mendation. If the proposal passed, the
university’s chancellor and the system
president would lobby the Nebraska leg
islature for funding. “The Board of
Regents sits more as a governing body,”
Peterson said. “It very rarely comes to
the legislature.”
Aside from the difference in the
amount of legislative influence Moeser
himself might have, political parties also
play very different roles in the two
states. Democrats narrowly control the
N.C. House and have a much larger
majority in the Senate.
But Nebraska’s legislature is nonpar
tisan, making individual outreach to
lawmakers critical. Moeser told The
Daily Tar Heel on Saturday that he
would use this same approach in dealing
with the N.C. General Assembly.

IMF and the World Bank are to
strengthen economies and finance spe
cial projects, respectively.
The protests escalated Saturday after
police raided the organizing headquar
ters on the charge of fire code violations.
That evening, more than 600 protesters
were arrested during a peaceful but
unapproved march.
As protesters marched down the
street, officers blocked all possible exits.
One man at the scene, who wished to
remain anonymous, said the police then
asked all media to leave. “Everybody
was chanting - ‘lf you guys leave, we
don’t have any documentation of what’s
happening,’" he said.
It took police well into the night to
arrest the crowd of 600, which included
reporters, tourists and a Washington
Post photographer. UNC freshman
Brock Towler, who was arrested, said
police denied protesters taken into cus
tody food, water and bathroom access.
Reports of police misconduct, includ
ing multiple accounts of violence against
protesters, spread through the crowd.
UNC senior Seth Landau said police
officers called out, “Anybody call for a
taxi? I can give you a ride,” as they
drove past the crowds.
Many protesters ref Used to give their
names to reporters due to stories about

SUMMER
INTERNSHIPS
(One Week to Seven Week Volunteer Positions Available)
Orphanage Outreach is a non-profit organization
working with orphanages in the Caribbean. This summer, we
are conducting the Touch the Future 2000 Summer School/
Camp in the Dominican Republic. University students, fac
ulty, and volunteers from around the world will provide a
unique learning experience for orphaned and abandoned chil
dren.
We will be working at two different orphanages. Our
focus will be on helping the children learn English. We will
also be conducting programs in math, art, science, music, thea
ter, and recreation.
Volunteering for this program is an opportunity to
combine your skills with a chance to make a difference in the
lives of orphaned and abandoned children during this unforget
table summer experience. Each participant will be asked to
raise funds to cover their expenses. For information, e-mail us
at volunteer@orphanage-outreach.org, or call us toll free at
(888) 305-4405.
"The week I spent in Esperanza was the greatest experience / have
ever had. We were completely submerged into the lives of the or
phans, and I know the impact we made was incredible. The impact
that the boys had on us was just as amazing: the love that they so
willingly gave to us and acceptedfrom us was heart-warming. I've
never had so much fun working so hard and the result was an inde
scribable sense of fulfillment and a life-changing experience. I will
definitely be participating in these missions for many years to
come. ”
...Lauren Johnston, University of North Carolina
"A completely unique experience that lets one not only make
an impact on many children's lives hut also learn about a
whole new culture."

Another lobbying difference he will
face as chancellor will be North
Carolina’s bicameral system.
Nebraska operates under a unicamer
al system, which means proposals only
have to pass through the Senate before
being recommended to the governor.
But North Carolina’s legislature is
bicameral, meaning both the Senate and
the House must approve a bill before
sending it to the governor, who can then
approve or veto it.
Beyle said a bicameral legislature was
trickier than a unicameral. For example,
when the UNC system took its proposal
for a $5 billion bond package to Raleigh
this summer, the two chambers passed
very different versions of the proposal.
The proposal then stalled because the
two houses could not reconcile their
respective versions of the legislation
before the session ended.
But Beyle said he was confident
Moeser could handle the legislative
switch, pardy because of his experience
with bicameral legislatures in South
Carolina, Michigan and Texas. “We’re
gonna just have to see what develops.”

er cops. Police on the scene declined to
comment on the weekend’s events.
Although a large portion of the
demonstrators were young adults, older
people also took part. One elderly
woman in a wheelchair locked arms
with teenagers to block traffic.
One couple from Massachusetts said
the scene was reminiscent of Vietnam
War protests. But Vietnam, the woman
said, received more media attention
than the IMF and the World Bank.
“People are figuring them out -and
fast,” she said.
Connie Hall, a protester from
Chicago, told a story about a friend
from Kenya, where IMF policies result
ed in the growing of cash crops. She said
food crops had to be abandoned.
“(People) were dying for lack of food
- they used to grow their own fo6d.”
An IMF spokesman, when contacted
Wednesday, said the agency was not
responsible for cutting social programs
in impoverished countries.
As the protests were winding down,
several George Washington University
students yelled at protesters and hung
pro-capitalism banners from the win
dows of their fraternity house.
“(Capitalism) is the American way. It
always has been,” said one GW student.
“We were founded on it, and it’s what
we believe in. The World Bank and
IMF are the very institutions that cham
pion the protesters’ cause.”
