Satty ®ar Mwl BUSH From Page 1 to criticize the conservative nature of the cabinet if it were not so diverse. Also, many feel that Bush has bene fited from low expectations when he entered office. “He has not said any thing stupid, and he has not done any thing stupid, and that’s what most peo ple expected to happen,” Munger said. But Jones said the notion that most people initially had low expectations of Bush was invalid and is the product of a liberal bias of some in the media. Jones instead credited Bush’s high popularity to his sticking to the cam paign promise of reducing taxes, his han dling of the Chinese spy-plane incident and the perception that he is trustworthy. “From day one, he has been upfront with the American people,” he said. An Unproductive Start? Munger noted that, unlike other pres idencies, the Bush administration had not proposed a great deal of new legis lation in its first 100 days. “We often base our perception of the president on the amount of legislation in the first 100 days,” Munger said. For this reason, analysts of all politi cal stripes say the 100-day benchmark, a tradition set in 1933 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave himself 100 HOUSING WOES From Page 1 probably continue during next year’s registration because of the closings of Alexander, Connor and Winston resi dence halls for renovation, Payne said. The opening of the four new South Campus communities in fall 2002 will offset these closings, however. “I think the challenge (next year) will be for returning students to choose where they want to live,” Payne said. He added that a survey will be circulat ed in the coming weeks so students will have a say in how rooms in the new communities are assigned. But some rising sophomores refuse to accept the explanations. Jonathan Gurkin, a freshman from Smithville who unsuccessfully tried to move from Ehringhaus Residence Hall to Alexander Residence Hall for next year, said he is upset that freshmen will be living on North Campus while he is on South Campus again. “Currently they’re tearing up the road to E-Haus,” Gurkin said. “It can’t get much worse than this.” But Leslie Bone, a freshman from Roanoke Rapids, said she sometimes regrets living on North Campus. She was assigned to Cobb Residence Hall this year but will be living in Teague Residence Hall next year as part of the Academic Enhancement Program. “I feel like being on North Campus misses out on the South Campus expe- NOW OPEN IN CHAPEL HILL @ Eastgate Shopping Center Birkenstock Comfortable Soles (near a Southern Season) I I 54 Copies Must present cxiupon. ju Good on plain white B'/2 x 11 autofeed copies.

Franklin St. Near the Post Office Open Late 7 Days a Week 933-W9 days to push the New Deal through Congress, is unfair and misleading. “My view is that gauging the success of the president in the first 100 days is ludi crous,” said John Hood, president of the John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh based conservative think tank. “It is biased in favor of presidents who want to create new programs.” Grappling With Gridlock Munger said there were two major reasons for the lack of legislative activi ty from Bush’s White House. First, Munger said, the delay in announcing the winner of the election caused Bush to have two fewer months to assemble a transition team and pre pare for his presidency. The second factor Munger suggested was the even-party split in the Senate. Munger said Senate Republicans had weak party loyalty - citing the Senate’s trimming of Bush’s proposed $ 1.6 trillion tax cut by a half-trillion dollars with the help of Republican Senators. To compensate for this, Bush recendy has taken his show on the road, appealing direcdy to the American people, in hopes of gaining enough public support for the tax cut to put pressure on members of Congress to pass it. “I think he has proven he has a good ability to take his message to the people, which is why the Democrats end up getting a larger tax reduction than they wanted,” said Mickey Edwards, a rience,” she said. Jesse Springer, a freshman currendy living in Hinton James Residence Hall who did not attempt to switch regions, said he thinks that all freshmen should automatically be placed on South Campus, thus giving them a better chance to move off as they gain seniori ty He said keeping sophomores on South Campus who don’t want to remain there is unfair. “It’s not fair for us to pay the same and get less,” he said. “We’re paying for an apartment, and we’re getting the ghetto.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. j $5 OFF j 12 Sessions or More I 942-7177 I hr I Jf Wfytovt ■mlbSty'Cdc I mm „ - EXP. 5/14/01- | i Must have coupon! i 3 Miles from Campus • 15-501 S. & Smith Level Road ' OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK A i—~i —v" c—>f=- jfoCILI 71iAN(,1.1'51 r^j<Z>=? - i - i—i c— z±r=3<r-)i -r-h-JpN Old Well Sing fit Official CD Release Wednesday, May 2nd, 4:3opm Also announcing auditions for ALL male parts, April 26th and 30th Sign up in the Union today! attfp latly ®ar HM \T7F is seeking two students to serve on its board of directors for the rr 2001 -2002 school year.

While most agree that Bush has kept his campaign promise of cutting taxes, some are skeptical about another cam paign promise Bush made - to be a “uniter not a divider.” Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., criticized Bush for not reaching out to those with oppos ing views. “I think his agenda has been hijacked by the far right of the party,” Watt said in a telephone interview last week. “There hasn’t been any effort to reach out to the center of the spectrum.” Some analysts speculated that the fact Bush did not have a mandate would force him to have to work more closely with the Democrats, but Watt disagreed. “I haven’t seen any indication that it is forcing him to do that,” Watt said. Watt agreed that Bush had surrounded himself with a diverse and highly-quali fied group of advisers, but said that mat tered little to him if they were all right wingers. “My advice to him is to do what he said he was going to do in the election campaign and build a moderate agenda.” The Days Ahead Though Bush might be riding high in the polls at the moment, popularity can NIKE From Page 1 monitoring groups, Baddour said UNC could serve as a role model for other universities. “I think the University has really staked itself out as a leader in this community,” he said. Baddour said a contract can accom modate UNC’s financial needs as well as its commitment to fair labor practices. “I don’t see there as being tension,” he said. “Either one would be a deal breaker.” Baddour said the athletics department relies heavily on its contract with Nike to LOOKOUT CASUAL CLOTHING OUTLET ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦ CUT THE TAG CUT THE PRICE.., ♦ ♦ ♦ ll [.MAIN SI.

Case in point: Bush’s Cabinet “He had a very successful Cabinet selection process. He got some high-profile names on it” Hood said. “When you have a lot of high-profile people, you have a greater risk of interdepartmental conflict” In the short run, the tax cut appears to be the determining factor of Bush’s success. “I think his agenda rises or falls on his tax cut" Hood said. But the ultimate success of the Bush administration likely will rest on other issues in the future that have more long term ramifications than the tax cut Hood said Bush’s education reforms could have a more permanent impact on his presidency than a tax cut “(Education) has more long-term benefits for him and his party than the tax cut People expect Republicans to cut taxes,” he said. For now, it appears the first 100 days is only a glimpse into what might he ahead for the Bush administration and by no means can be used a definite indicator. “There is nothing magic about the num ber 100,” Edwards said. “Your presidency is built upon four years, not 100 days.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu. support UNC’s 28 sports.

The Tar Heel Voices’ “Mustn’t See TV" spring concert Saturday evening, like most every show they do, was one of those per formances.

While every person had his own distinct sound and stye, they all had one mission - to entertain. From the very first song, The Who’s “Pinball Wizard," you could feel that rush, almost like the chills, running up your spine. As the vocal guitar licks, “Bi ni nirrrrr,” came in, the feeling turned your head into one huge smiley face. The next selection, Dido’s “Thank You,” was simply amazing. Soloist Heather Sheehan nearly brought down the house with a sweet but powerful voice, making Dido and Elton John’s versions hopelessly amateur by comparison. Australia .Baia, Mexico .Costa Rica .Kenya Turks & Caicos Islands .Vancouver Island 16 Broadway. Beverly, MA 01915-4499 Monday, April 30, 2001 But that was just the beginning. The first half of the concert was broken up by skits parodying shows like MTVs “TRL” and neo-classics like “Dawson’s Creek.” Not every skit was comedic gold, but more than a few were outright hilarious, most notably the spoof on “The Man Show.” Aptly tided “The Woman Show,” the skit featured two female hosts promising every show would be chock-full of “wine coolers, Jockeys (the male Juggies) and men apologizing.” Meanwhile, the music continued to floor the audience, from Cami Kotsionis’ sensual solo on Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” to Andrew Smith’s MC skills on a brilliandy arranged Outkast medley (“So Fresh and So Clean” and “Ms. Jackson”). From the goofy antics of Sam Taylor, River-Dancing and stirring the pot through his solo on The Buggies’ “Video Killed the Radio Star,” to Dave Wilber’s beautiful rendition of Garth Brook’s “She’s Every Woman,” the concert mam tamed consistent quality. It was refreshing to see a musical group that takes entertaining the audience -but not itself -very seriously. The only letdown was a last minute set change that cut two songs from the set Luckily, a standing ovation was enough to bring the group out to blow the audience away one more time with Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” before calling it a night The Art & Entertainment Editor can be reachedatartsdesk@unc.edu.
