Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said
Gore’s address offered nothing new to
the nation. “It was just unfortunately not
giving Americans the full picture of
what took place,” Fleischer said.

Running mate Dick Cheney criti

for refusing Bush access to $5.3 million
in government transition funds and a
federal office building set aside for the
presidential changeover. He announced
that the Bush team would raise dona

Cheney said, “This is regrettable
because we believe the government has
an obligation to honor the certifiable
results of an election.”

Freshman Air Force ROTC cadet Joseph Dratz lowers the American flag
outside of the ROTC building Monday afternoon. Cadets Kathy Cyr
and Joe Ranch stand at attention as the flag is lowered.
According to reports, the banner,
which was white and blue, is valued at
about S3OO.
Capt. Mark Mclntyre, who is inves
tigating the case, searched the Smith
Center for evidence.
As of Monday afternoon, Mclntyre
said there were no suspects.
Mclntyre said the Smith Center was
closed while classes were not in session,
so University police are not sure which
day the robbery occurred.

Mclntyre said there was some history
of theft from the Smith Center. Michael
Jordan’s jersey was stolen in February

totally blind.
Francisco’s road to recovery was
delayed after funding ran out for his surg
eries halfway into the process.
The delay in follow-up surgery caused
his eye to re-perforate, and he underwent
emergency surgery in November just to
save his eye from degenerating beyond
repair.
“He must have suffered some trauma
where he had an actual hole in his eye
and the inside was coming out,” Wang
said.
Chapel Hill High School students
and teachers responded to a call for help
from Francisco’s teacher and mentor,
Carole Klein, and raised more than
$17,000 to fund his final surgery.
“We were able to raise the money

an outstanding coach.”
Those candidates must not be some of
the coaches who are being mentioned as
possible replacements for Carl Torbush.
Southern Mississippi Director of
Athletics Richard Giannini and Western
Michigan Director of Athletics Kathy
Beauregard said Monday they haven’t
been contacted about their respective
coaches by anyone from UNC.
Giannini said last week it would take
a special situation for Coach Jeff Bower
to leave. He also said Bower has a self
imposed policy that restricts him from
HONOR COURT
From Page 1
Moeser said a major overhaul to
UNC’s Honor Court is not necessary,
but open dialogue about potential
improvements to the process is impor
tant.
“No system is without flaws,” he said.
“I’m not advocating anything at this
poinL I’m just asking questions.”
One major issue Moeser hopes to
address is whether the Honor Court
should hear cases not involving acade
mics. The chancellor said he is also con
cerned when there is not an opportuni
ty for a student to have a speedy, indi
vidual hearing.
Students were tried in pairs in the
computer science case.
In response to Moeser’s questions,
Faculty Chairwoman Sue Estroff, a pro
fessor in the department of social medi
cine, said officials will re-evaluate the
University’s student judicial process in
coming months. “The University has tdf
reinvent itself all the time,” she said.
“(UNC’s) judicial system should maxi
mize student participation, but it should
n’t exclude the faculty.”
When a student is accused of violat
ing UNC’s Honor Code, peer students
not only serve as prosecutors and
defense counsels, but they also make up
the Honor Court panel, which acts as a
jury during a hearing.
Faculty members are not direcdy
involved in students’ hearings but do
serve on panels that review appeals to
Honor Court rulings.
Estroff, who raised concerns about
the system at a Faculty Council meeting
in mid-November, said Moeser asked
her to organize a series of discussions in
which faculty and students will examine
UNC’s system of judicial governance.
But she said concrete changes to
that we needed in less than five weeks,”
she said. “It was a joy to do it, and I
think many of the students have been
inspired by Francisco.”
Wang offered to perform Francisco’s
surgery for free - $17,000 was just the
amount needed to use hospital facilities
and transportation.
“I knew that Francisco was facing great
difficulty because of his chemical injury,
and I knew that he had no other chance
to see,” Wang said.
The surgery that Francisco will under
go today is an intricate process that
requires cutting-edge medical technology.
The procedure involves forcing the
eye to regenerate limbal cells, which sur
round the cornea and do not replace
themselves, by using amniotic mem
branes to trick the eye. The membrane’s
presence causes the eye to react as it
would before birth, creating new cells.
The entire surgery will be done under
talking to other schools until Southern
Mississippi’s season has ended. The
Golden Eagles play in the Mobile
Alabama Bowl on Dec. 20.
Beauregard said Rutgers, Missouri
and Oklahoma State already have asked
for permission to talk to Coach Gary
Darnell. She said other schools could
call and get immediate permission to
talk to Darnell, whose contract runs
through 2002 and includes a buyout.
Western Michigan plays Marshall in
the MAC Championship game
Dec. 2. Darnell served as the linebackers
coach at UNC from 1976-77.
“We definitely know we have an out
standing coach here at Western
Michigan,” Beauregard said. “Right now
UNC’s Honor Court will not happen
overnight, adding that faculty and stu
dent discussion of the issue has no spe
cific timetable. “Faculty members need
to be more responsive and pay more
attention to (the student judicial
process),” she said. “It has not been
enough on the faculty’s screen.”
UNC graduate Martin Warf, pro
grams coordinatpr in the Office of the
Dean of Students, assists the attorney
general’s staff and the Honor Court. He
said faculty members need to increase
their knowledge of how the Honor
Court system works.
“There is a lot of ambiguity among
faculty,” he said. “It would be great to
bring everyone to a standard.”
Sue Kitchen, vice chancellor for stu
dent affairs, said educating faculty and
students is vital to the effectiveness of
UNC’s Honor Court
“A big challenge is how much people
actually know,” Kitchen said. “The judi
cial process has a solid foundation, but
we ought to use this time to have dis
cussions about it.”
Kitchen, whose department often
works with UNC’s student judicial
process, said the computer science case
earlier this semester prompted adminis
trators, faculty and students to look
more closely at the Honor Court
process.
Last summer, computer science
Professor James Coggins turned in 24
students from his spring semester
Computer Science 120 class for unau
thorized collaboration on a program
ming assignment. Starting in late
September, the charged students were
tried in groups of two to three.
Two of the accused students chose to
have an open hearing, which Kitchen
said opened many people’s eyes to the
inner workings of UNC’s judicial sys
tem. “It is a system with a fine tradition,"
Kitchen said. “But I don’t know of any

a microscope, and the procedure itself
will take about 15 minutes.
Wang said he hopes Francisco’s story
will encourage people to recognize their
responsibility toward those who cannot
afford necessary health care services.
“One of the most challenging tilings is
getting the public to recognize that we can
and should help these people," he said
Wang will remove the bandages from
Francisco’s eyes Wednesday afternoon.
His sight in the right eye should be
restored in two to three months.
Francisco said he hopes that his
regained eyesight will allow him to give
back to the community that assisted him,
in his time of need.
“My friends have done a real good
job,” he said. “I want to say thank you to
everybody.”

we’re concentrating on our champi

say about it.”
UNC’s players, who learned in a
meeting last Monday that Torbush had
been fired, were told in a previously
scheduled meeting Monday that Beamer
had decided to stay at Virginia Tech.
Junior comerback Errol Hood, who
was not at Monday’s meeting, learned
about Beamer’s decision shortly after
the start of his press conference.
“Well, I guess it’s back to the drawing
board,” Hood said. “I’m sure they’ll find
somebody great for this university.”

system that doesn’t ever look at getting
better.”
Bob Adler, a law professor in the
Kenan-Flagler Business School and
chairman of UNC’s Committee on
Student Conduct, said he welcomes cri
tiques of the University’s judicial
process.
“The system is perennially under'
strict scrutiny -as it should be,” Adler
said. “We have to face the cynicism
among faculty members, address it and;
then help reduce iL”
He said the committee is responsible
for maintaining UNC’s Instrument for
Student Judicial Governance, the hand
book of the Honor Code and student
judicial system. I
But he said students and faculty often
lack proper knowledge of what the
ft andbook entails. “I hope for a greater!
understanding of the system by all par-!
ties,” Adler said. “I’d like to have the fac-.
ulty more involved in learning about the
Honor Court so they can instill its values'
in their students.”
Senior Laura Wriggelsworth, vied;
chairwoman of the Honor Court and a
-of the Committee on Student
Conduct, said any future discussions
encouraged by Moeser will benefit die
University’s judicial process. “(The!
chancellor) is not familiar with our sys
tem,” Wriggelsworth said. “I think it’s
great that he and the faculty are taking
interest in it and want to facilitate dis- .'
cussion.”
Estroff said healthy discussions are
key to answering faculty and student
concerns.
“I anticipate this is a process that will
go on for a while,” she said. “We need to
find somewhere in the middle where we
can have a productive way (of handling
things).”
