<£f?e Datig ®ar BM Colleges Recruit Students With Web By Walton Walker Staff Writer The expansion of the Internet into people’s daily lives is resulting in radical changes in the college admissions process, as institutions have been forced to add another dimension to recruiting. But the Web’s expanding role in col lege recruiting raises questions about whether students are really benefiting from the new technology. According to a recent report con ducted by Stamats Communications, a higher education marketing firm, more than 80 percent of college-bound seniors used the Internet to research col leges last year, a jump from 57 percent three years ago. “We’re seeing (top students) actively using the Internet,” said Deborah Long, an admissions counselor at UNC. Long added that whereas in the past, EDWARDS From Page 3 he understands area residents and officials have concerns, but he said he feels CP&L has done everything necessary to answer those concerns. Therefore, he said he does not expect Edwards’ involvement to have an effect on Shearon Harris’ expan sion. “This has been a two-year process in which all of the procedures established by 149'/2 E Franklin St Chapel Hill, NC 960-8688 Best known secret in Chapel Hill Offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, and specialty sandwiches for lunch and dinner, vyith a late night menu and • (jotf’/V*' 0 * 1 23 beers on tap.

Eleanor Payne, senior asso ciate dean of admissions at Davidson College, said the Web has allowed Davidson to expand its recruiting base. “With the increase in types of (online) programs, we’re showing up on the lists of kids where we didn’t before.” The result has been increased com petition between schools to provide informative and interesting Web sites. Payne and Long each said their schools constandy improve their Web sites to pro vide a more user-friendly and easily accessible format “(Students) come for a variety of reasons, but the (Web site’s) quality is what makes them come back.” the NRC have been followed,” he said. “We are confident that the hill NRC will confirm what the (Atomic Safety and Licensing Board) and NRC staff mem bers have already concluded, so we do not expect any delay.” But Kinnaird said having Edwards as an advocate in Congress increases the chances for a hearing. “Bureaucracy moves very slowly, and would go on without really ever listening to us, but Edwards and the power of his office rais- But with the increasing emphasis on entertainment, some admissions experts are concerned that schools will mislead students with eye-catching graphics and innovative designs that present a dis torted view of the school. Linda Parker, director of the career information center at East Chapel Hill High School, said her counseling office advises students to use many techniques to research colleges. “The glossy portfolios or the Web site are only one side of the school,” she said. Payne agreed that students must be cautioned against conducting a narrow Internet-based college search. “The Web is a wonderful vehicle for inquiry and research, but it doesn’t replace visits and personal conversa tions with faculty and students.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu. es a flag to say, ‘Hey, stop!

Plug One and Pug Two, respectively, took the stage, trying to incite a call-and-response from the crowd.

Heather Yandow said. “Congress meetings ran until one or two in the morning. Everything was a lot more contentious.” In comparison, members said the 82nd was much more civil. “While people disagreed, it was never said Matt Fisher, chair school tracks - Pos insisting that his side of the room was the live side, Dave insisting that the other side was much more live - the vibe never strayed far from “dead.” And so the night went, Dave, Maseo and Pos smiling and grinning their way across the stage, while a nearly comatose crowd semi-swayed to what ever rhythm sustained its attention. Sadly, they missed what could have been a great show. De La’s music is inher ently fun, from the carefree feel of their smash “Ooh!” to the old-school “A Roller man of the Ethics Committee. “It fos tered an open forum for debate. Everyone seemed to get along both in and out of the Congress chambers.” Representation also was an issue for Congress. At its last meeting, only 20 of the 37 seats were filled. Fisher said the empty seats hurt students. “The con stituents who lost their representation - they were not served,” Fisher said. But many students do not keep track of Congress’ activities. Sophomore Lisa Gibson, a journalism major from Kitty Hawk, said she has zero interest in Congress and does not know who her representative is. “I real Does your definition of \ “financial planning” mean calling your dad before you actually need money?

But Bell said she is impressed by the solid, if small, group of students who sacrificed their Tuesday nights to discuss and vote on legislation, even though their jobs were not as high profile as those in the executive branch. “The 82nd has been really dedicated to the student body,” Bell said. “I know it’s not always obvious when we’re amending bills, but that makes student government run better for the students.” The University Editor can be reached atudesk@unc.edu. 5
