Dole Ending Kan. Voter Registration
The Associated Press
Elizabeth Dole, courted as a potential
successor to Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C.,
notified Kansas authorities Thursday
that she is terminating her voter regis
tration there in order to register “in
another jurisdiction.”
The brief letter does not definitely
mean that Dole, a Republican like
Helms, is running for the seat Helms will
vacate when his terms ends in 2003, said

someone the receiver knows.
But Lunday said Sir Cam hasn’t hit
campus hard, partly because ATN set
up a filter on mass e-mails sent through
the campus e-mail system to protect stu
dents and faculty from the worm.
“I don’t think it’s had a bad effect
because we got the word out,” she said.
Egan said the response center has
been seeing a steady flow of students
with computer viruses but that the cen
ter’s overall traffic is up because it is the
beginning of the school year.
“There’s been no flood,” he said. “We
try to encourage students to be proac
tive.”
He said students can keep themselves
informed by regularly checking virus
updates on Symantec’s Web site,

Students also can protect themselves
by visiting the ATN Web site for infor
mation on how to download the latest
virus updates for Norton Antivirus,
Egan said.
“If students protect themselves, it’s
simply one less hassle,” Egan said.
“Students are busy as it is.”
But many students said they don’t
especially feel a need to safeguard them
selves besides avoiding suspicious e-mails.
“I’m not really worried about virus
es,” said Jonny Chen, a junior biology
and psychology major.
“I’ve been using computers for so
long and been downloading so many
things that if it hasn’t hit me so far, it’s
probably not going to.”
But Egan said this attitude can get stu
dents stuck in a bad situation.
“Viruses are always something they
have to be vigilant about.”

ADVISING QUESTION OF THE DAY:
"I missed the first couple classes.
Will I get dropped automatically?"
ANSWER:
Instructors may drop students
who do not attend the first two classes.
• Contact the instructor to see if you were dropped.
• If you've been dropped, use STUDENT CENTRAL to add
another class.
• If you don't want to be in a class, then use STUDENT CENTRAL
to drop it yourself. Never rely on someone else to drop a
course for you.

Nancy Evans, director of the Rowan
County Board of Elections in Salisbury,
said Thursday that Dole had not regis

Earlier this month, Dole acknowl
edged through a spokeswoman that she
would give the race “strong considera

Party leaders in Washington have been
quiedy courting Dole for weeks, arguing
that her name recognition and populari
ty would make her a strong candidate.

lively discussion about it in the House,”
Lamme said. “But if the House sends it
over to us we will certainly take a very
long look at it.”
But Thursday’s developments in the
House also complicate matters for the
continuing budget resolution that passed
the Senate the same day.
Lee said he expects the resolution to
reach the House floor next week, where
some House members might vote to
remove parts of it through an amendment
If that happens, the resolution would
head back to the Senate.
Lee said if the Senate receives both
the resolution and the tax increase bill at
nearly the same time and the Senate
leadership feels that it is close to com
pleting the budget, the Senate might
simply ignore the resolution and focus
on finalizing the budget
In that case, Lee said a state budget
could be passed late next week.

A previous measure that has kept the
government running since the fiscal year
started July 1 is set to expire next
Wednesday. But if the resolution is not
renewed and a state budget is not
passed, that could result in a temporary
government shutdown.
Lee said he is confident that no matter
how the budget situation is resolved dur
ing the next few weeks, the tuition
increase will remain in place. He added
that if the tax package is approved as is, it
would generate enough revenue to elim
inate the need for further budget cuts.
Black’s proposal would generate
S4OO million in its first year and more
than S6OO million the second fiscal year.
Lee said, “As it stands now, if the
package remains as is, it should be
enough to cover all our needs.”

CARTOON
From Page 1
Kelly gradually brought an entire cast of
cartoon characters to life.
With the hopes that Major Flake will
join the ranks of “The Simpsons” and
“The Powerpuff Girls,” its creators
strived to make a cartoon that will
appeal to both children and adults.
“We really wanted to have a show
that worked on two levels,” Cohen said.
Major Flake will encourage children
to look into the marketing campaigns
that win them over and why, while
inside jokes and more mature humor
will pull in an older audience.
“It’s more Bugs Bunny than Mickey
Mouse,” Kelly said.
“The Big Pick” will be the close of
the Cartoon Network’s “Cartoon
.Cartoon Summer.” Viewers are being
asked to go online and choose their
favorite pilot, and the pilot with the
most votes will become a series.
If Major Flake is chosen, its writers
probably will quit their day jobs and
move on to comedic TV wonderland,
Kelly said. But even if the show doesn’t
pan out, plans for the future are in the
works. “We’ve got lots of other projects
going," Cohen said.
To vote for Major Flake or any other
pilot, head to http://www.cartoon
network.com. Clips of all 10 pilots are
available.
