2 Wednesday, November 22, 2000 N.C. Supports Democrats Locally, Republicans Nationally By Leslie Bumgarner Staff Writer N.C. voters straddled party lines once again this election, as Republican presi dential candidate George W. Bush ran away with the state’s 14 electoral votes while Democratic candidates continued to dominate state and local elections. Bush won North Carolina by a clear margin over Democratic candidate A1 Gore.

Jim Hunt, a Democrat, once again clinched the governor’s race. Jimmy Carter was the last Democratic presidential candidate to win North Carolina, in 1976. In the 2000 election, Democrats also retained a slight majority in the state House and received two-thirds of the seats in the Senate.

He said people tend to vote conserv atively at the national level to insure lit tle influence from Washington, but N.C. residents do want a government that would make improvements in local communities.

Democratic Party executive director, also said N.C. voters see state Democrats as more conserva tive than traditional Democrats nation wide. More state residents are registered Democrats, which Salmlen attributed to the voters’ agreement with the general philosophy of the Democratic Party. Dan Gurley, political director for the Republican Party of North Carolina, said local Democratic leadership was the result of the larger number of registered Democrats combined with little knowl FOOTBALL From Page 1 confident their coaches would stay put, as well. Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Jim Weaver said no one from UNC has contacted him about Hokies coach Frank Beamer, a native of Mount Airy. Even so, Weaver doesn’t expect Beamer to leave Blacksburg, Va., after his 14th season at Virginia Tech. “This happens every year, two or three times a year, at the end of the sea son,” Weaver said. “1 full well expect - when the dust settles - that Frank Beamer will still be at Virginia Tech.” Weaver said Beamer, who has a five year contract that can get extended by a year after each season, could take anoth er job. The buyout would be about $850,000, about four times Beamer’s base salary. Weaver expects any athletics direc tor pursuing Beamer to contact him after the Hokies play Virginia on Saturday but before Virginia Tech’s bowl game. Southern “Idon’t mean this in a boastful way, but I think the University of North Carolina has a lot to offer. ” Dick Baddour UNC Director of Athletics Mississippi Director of Athletics Richard Giannini said Golden Eagles coach Jeff Bower has a self-imposed policy that forbids him from talking to another school before the season ends. Southern Miss will play in the Mobile Alabama Bowl on Dec. 20. Bower has a base salary of $165,000 on his contract, which has three years remaining on it. Giannini said Texas Tech and Houston contacted him last season about their openings. “I think there are very few places that he would ultimately have an interest in,” Giannini said. “I can’t say whether North Carolina would fall in that category or not. It would take a special situation. “I know North Carolina is a special situation. A lot of coaches are out there seeking jobs and looking for every opportunity in the world, and he’s not one of those types.

Gurley attributed the Republican vote at the national level to more aggres sive campaigning by those candidates. Despite the state’s recent history, a Democratic presidential candidate could win North Carolina in the not-too-dis tant future, Rabinowitz said. Salmlen added that such a candidate would need to be able to relate to the is going to have to sell him, not the other way around.” Baddour won’t reveal which coaches he is considering, but he said at Monday’s press conference that he thinks he can find a coach that will res urrect UNC’s football program. “I don’t mean this in a boastful way, but I think the University of North Carolina has a lot to offer,” Baddour said. “I don’t worry about any competi tion with other schools to attract the best possible situation." Louisville Director of Athletics Tom Jurich, Pittsburgh Athletic Director Steve Pederson and Georgia Southern Director of Athletics Sam Baker said Tuesday they haven’t been contacted by UNC. Louisville coach John L. Smith has a contract that runs through 2007. Pittsburgh coach Walt Harris’ contract runs through 2006. Jurich said any school with a coaching vacancy could call and talk to Smith, who led the Cardinals to the Conference USA tide and a Liberty Bowl berth this sea son. Baker said Georgia Southern coach Paul Johnson, who is from Newland, always says he is just try ing to keep the job he has. Baker also said he wouldn’t stand in Johnson’s way if he wanted to make a move. “If an institution such as North Carolina comes with the financial resources it has, there’s not much we can do to try and compete there,” Baker said. Baddour said he needs to be aggressive and find UNC’s new coach as quickly as possible. Junior wideout Kory Bailey said North Carolina’s new leader will be com ing to a place with a good atmosphere. Said Bailey, “Any coach that would like to be the head coach of a college football team wouldn’t mind being here because it’s such a nice situation." The Associated Press contributed to this story.

MADD runs a statewide campaign during the holidays to encour age individual motorists not to get behind the wheel if they have been drinking. Lucas said drivers also should be reminded of North Carolina’s open container law, prohibiting passengers and drivers from possessing open con tainers, as they travel over the holidays. She said checkpoints have used the stops to check not only for drunken dri vers and seat belt usage but also expired licenses, insurance and drugs, which have led officers to make several other types of arrests. “It’s really quite extra ordinary what checkpoints do. If some one comes to the checkpoint and are not buckled up, they’re asking for a ticket.” The State 8 National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. CHORUS From Page 1 food for the needy. Senior Larenzo Degraffenreidt said helping people was an important part of the group’s trip to New York. “This is a good opportunity to perform for lots of people,” he said. “And not only that, we’re doing valuable community service, too.” Despite being away from home for Thanksgiving, many of the students are excited about their performance. “Even though we’ll be away from our families, we’ll be doing something worthwhile,” Zook added. Performing with America Sings! is an honor, Huff said. “You have to .be ftivit ed. And not everyone gets invited.” But the invitation did not include paying for expenses, so the group start ed raising funds early for the trip. The students and their 13 adult chap erones each paid $460 for the trip. “We’ve parked cars at UNC football games, sold homemade cheesecakes and cookie dough and did choral per formances for donations,” Huff said. But it won’t be all work for the group in New York. The chorus left Chapel Hill at 4 a.m. Tuesday and will return in time for the school’s Thanksgiving dance Friday evening. They scheduled extra time to take in some of the sights of the city. On Thanksgiving night, the group will split up and attend three different Broadway performances, Huff said. But last week’s rehearsals were all work and no play, just a price the group paid for the fun ahead. “I know some of you still have food in your throats,” Huff told the students Friday. “But we’re one-eighth of the choir, so they’re real ly going to be depending on us.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
