Consider the North Carolina Fellows Program, a selective, four-year program to which all first-year students may apply. Twenty students with exceptional leadership potential are selected each year for this program which facilitates the examination of social and cultural issues relevant to leadership and the development of leadership skills. NC Fellows partici pate in annual retreats, an academic seminar, monthly seminars with com munity leaders, summer reading, sum mer internships and community ser vice projects. The Womentoring Program, designed to inspire leadership specifi cally in women, brings together first year undergraduate students and pro fessional female faculty and campus staff. Students meet informally with their personal Womentor throughout the year to consider leadership goals and interests, and gather together with other participants on a monthly basis to discuss issues relevant to women and leadership. Towards the end of your first year, you may apply for the Emerging Leaders Program, a one-year program open to sophomores, juniors and seniors which helps participants assess leadership styles, practice leadership skills, explore issues pertinent to one’s respective communities and address organizational development. Those completing the first year may apply to participate for a second and third years in leadership roles within the program itself, roles involving organization and creation of program activities. | | j 5 Free Wings ] j WITH ANY 12 WING ORDER 206 W.

Budget Under Review After NCSU Spending Associated Press RALEIGH - A state senator is ask ing the University of North Carolina to review budget flexibility spending after the N.C. State police chief bought equipment with unspent salaries. “Budget flexibility provided the abil ity for the university to make decisions on how to use these funds for the great est good of the university,” Sen. Howard Lee said Tuesdav. The Chapel Hill Democrat helped UNC chancellors win that legislative authority in 1991. “It was never our thought that spend ing decisions would be pushed down to the department level, and the depart ment would rake up whatever funds were left and use it without any account ing or any authority from above,” Lee said. Lee said he was drafting a letter ask ing UNC President Molly Broad to investigate how the lapsed salary money is accrued and spent across the UNC system, and to report to the legislature this fall. Broad said she had promised legisla tors that the university will quickly clean up any problems identified in audits of the Public Safety Department at N.C. State. The university police department used money from $2.2 million in unspent salaries to buy vehicles, televi sions and other equipment. Broad has asked NCSU to prepare an inventory of its public safety equip ment within 10 days. NCSU Vice * less % 5 minutes jg . from campus! 968-3377 "SS /<itC.

Budget flexibility legislation gave chancellors at the 16 UNC campuses more authority to divert unspent salary money for other purposes. In recent years, that money has been used to upgrade sophisticated scientific equipment, buy library materials and fix the Y2K bug in the universities' com puters, Broad said. Lee, co-chairman of a subcommittee that oversees UNC spending, said callers had contacted his office with questions of whether the problems at N.C. State exist on other campuses. The UNC system sends an annual report to the Legislature on how funds were spent under flexibility. In 1998-99, the most recent year for which statistics are available, the 16 campuses reallocated a total of $82.9 million for one-time expenses, or about 4 percent of the total UNC system bud get. Nearly 81 percent of that money came from vacant positions. Audits at N.C. State have not found problems in recent years. NCSU Chancellor Marye Anne Fox is in Scotland and could not be reached for comment. The revelations about NCSU’s police department came as the Legislature debates the state budget and a few months before voters will decide whether to approve a $3.1 billion bond issue for renovation of university and community college campuses. tFRHTfIN!
