2 Monday, February 19, 2001 CAA From Page 1 Songer said the e-mail was slanderous, and his campaign tried to link McGinnis to Chaney’s campaign with a printed copy of an e-mail that was slipped under Songer’s door. The e-mail, allegedly writ ten by McGinnis to Fever Co-chairman Eric Ellis, CAA President Tee Pruitt and former CAA Vice President Bryan Hart, said the Monday e-mail had been written to “keep Songer out of office.” But the Board of Elections found the e-mail to be “highly irregular and prob ably a forgery,” thus eliminating any link between the Chaney campaign and the e-mail slandering Songer’s campaign. The board ruled that the illegal Monday e-mail could have swayed the election. After 27 invalid write-in votes were eliminated from the total, Chaney was declared the race’s winner -with just five votes more than the needed majority. And because the e-mail, which said Songer played no role in the implemen tation of risers in the Smith Center last fall, was a misrepresentation of elections Attention Oxfordians!

The Songer campaign was required to issue an apology about the forged document. The board also ruled that the candi dates can no longer use mass e-mails. Songer said he is relieved that a re election will be held. “No solution can undo the harm that was done, but I think this is the fairest solution possible.” But Chaney said he was disappointed by the results. “I understand they want this to be a level playing ground... but it’s real ly been dragged out, and I want it to end.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. From Page One BUCK HISTORY From Page 1 But to most of the players on these courts your skills mean more than the color of your skin. “You got every differ ent race coming in here to play basket ball,” said sophomore Cory' Rawlinson. “Race doesn’t even matter.” Minorities Only? At any given moment during the day, students can be found lingering around one of UNC’s most prevalent resources for minorities - the Sonja H. Stone Black Cultural Center. On one Friday, a few students min gle in the BCC, located within the Student Union -some working the desk, some reading, others just poking their heads in the door to say hello. ARREST From Page 1 not directly involved in flipping Mindy Guadagnino’s 1997 Honda Accord. UNC sophomore Lineback, 20, of 321 W. Cameron Ave., said he was with Haltom on Franklin Street. Lineback admits that Haltom stood on top of the car before it was flipped. “James was standing on top of the car,” he said. “I grabbed him and pulled him down.

Meanwhile, freshman Jason Mageo comments on how he is die only Pacific Islander he’s met at UNC. But Mageo, who is leaning over the back of a couch, adds that he likes the BCC’s atmosphere. “I like the people at the BCC," he said. “They are very open-minded and will talk about anything race-wise.” All the students milling about are minorities. All are black except Mageo. Both Wooten and Mageo agree the lack of diversity in the BCC is based on a false impression that it is only for minorities on campus. With the groundbreaking on the free standing BCC scheduled for April, the center will continue to fight this belief. Wooten said, “Most Carolina students Student Attorney General Taylor Lea said Haltom could face Honor Court charges. “Anything that affects the University community, even if it happens in China, is under the jurisdiction of the Honor Court,” she said. After receiving the police report from the Dean of Students Office, Lea will meet with Haltom and others charged to determine if further Honor Court action is necessary. Lea said the maximum Honor Court punishment of expulsion is unlikely in Haltom’s case. don’t know what the BCC is about" Stepping Up Race Relations Nine sisters of Alpha Epsilon Omega, a multicultural Christian sorority, meet on a Saturday afternoon in the basement of Cobb Residence Hall hoping to dissolve some of the separation between the two dominant races in the Greek world. The contrast between black and white Greek traditions is as sharp as night and day. The sisters, gather in a circle, a white hand grasping a black one as they bow their heads and begin to pray. “Heavenly Father, thank you for this time together to fellowship and the opportunity to minister through step,” says sophomore Kadia Kaloko. The sisters conclude their prayer and move to opposite sides of the room to practice their step routine. She also said the most likely punish ment, if he is convicted, would be “either suspension for a semester or probation and community service.” Chapel Hill police are still searching for others involved in the vandalism. Fliers were released Friday with pic tures of suspects. Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said Crime Stoppers had “received about half a dozen tips with information to follow up on” as of Friday. But so far only Haltom has been charged. Lineback said he took Haltom off the She Daily Sar Heel The heavy bass from the stereo vibrates through the room, accompa nying the rhythmic stomps of feet. The sisters see their step ministry as a way of taking the art of stepping to peo ple that might not have been exposed to the art form. “I’d like to see more white people step,” said junior Francemise St Pierre. “It really does break the stereotype that white people can’t dance.” St Pierre added that she believes race relations at UNC go beyond the black white issue and involve all nationalities. St Pierre said she and her sisters, along with other UNC students, are slowly taking steps to bridge the racial divide. She said, “With a willing spirit and patience, anything is possible.” The Features Editor can be reached at features@unc.edu. car at least five minutes before it was flipped. “I knew that this was just bad.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
