Older participants were encouraged to parade their costumes at the end of the contest.

Members of the Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department also pitched in to GIBSON From Page 3 If Congress does not approve her before it adjourns, she would have to be renominated during the next session. Congress was previously scheduled to adjourn Oct. 6, but postponed the date to wrap up unfinished business. No date has officially been set for the close of the session. Additional problems also face Gibson’s nomination. U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, R- N.C., previously blocked the nomination of N.C. Court of Appeals Judge James A. Wynn Jr. and could still block Gibson’s nomination. Senate rules state that one senator can block a nomination if the nominee is from his or her home state. Edwards’ press secretary Michael Briggs said Helms is against appointing new judges at this time because he is try ing to preserve a conservative court in case a Republican president is elected in November. “At what point do we need new judges?” Briggs said. “(Helms’) answer is, ‘When there’s a Republican whatdoyouwannaloe?

Gibson, a Raleigh native and Chapel Hill resident, would be the first North Carolina resident to sit on the 4th Circuit since the death of Judge Sam J. Ervin 111 more than a year ago. After graduating from the UNC law school in 1976, Gibson’s first job was as a law clerk to a 4th Circuit Court judge, before beginning work at UNC in 1983. Gibson said she would bring this experience to the appeals court. “It’s useful to have someone with an acade mic background," she said. If the Senate does not confirm Clinton’s nomination before adjournment, Gibson said she will not be considered again until after anew president is elected. “We’ll just have to wait and see what happens after that.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

A&T student government offi cials also unified efforts between student organizations and various organized reg istration drives - including door-to-door campaigns, promotional tables at foot ball games and political forums. But UNC-CH Student Body President Brad Matthews said UNC-CH registered fewer new voters due to a large number of freshmen already egis tered to vote. “Nobody lost (the registration drive),” Matthews said. “I was very surprised and happy to see that so many students were already registered.
