Among other things, the resolution proposes a 75 cent increase in student fees for child-care services. “The best thing, I think, would be to first send out this message,” said GPSF President Mikisha Brown. She added that obtaining additional student fees would be a long process, probably including a referendum vote in February’s campus elections. Marc David, a member of the Chancellor’s Childcare Advisory Committee, said the campaign for acces sible, affordable child care for graduate students has been going on for years. “Child care is not anew preoccupa tion for GPSF,” David said.

Brown said one of the main problems is that the limited number of child-care facilities on campus are too expensive for graduate students to afford. “Victory Village exists, but not a lot of graduate and professional students utilize it because of the cost,” she said. The additional money from student fees could help subsidize these costs, which range up to SI,OOO per month for infant care, Brown said. David said the lack of child-care options on campus is an example of the University’s lack of respect for graduate students. “As employees, we think that it is a matter of equity and justice that we are fairly compensated,” David said. The main problem for graduate stu dents is that they have classes and jobs in addition to their family lives, while many employees only have their jobs, Bath} (Ear Uppl Brown said. “(The lack of on-campus child care is) affecting our recruitment and retention of graduate students and preventing those graduate students who do have children from progressing in an expedient way,” she said. But some debate among GPSF mem bers focused on the proposed student fee. Some raised concerns that the fee would not benefit enough of the people that would have to pay it. Despite this issue, the resolution passed unanimously. Karie Morgan, a graduate student studying anthropology, compared the proposed fee to other fees that help enrich the University’s environment. She said additional child-care options would allow more students to adequate ly prepare for and attend their classes. Morgan said, “The idea behind these kinds of fees is that we all want that kind of intellectual environment.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. House OKs Senate Map Redistricting House members narrowly agreed to the Senate map, even though it includes only 2 majority-black districts. The Associated Press RALEIGH - New district bound aries for the Senate received final leg islative approval Wednesday as the House narrowly agreed to the map despite familiar complaints from black members and Republicans. The House agreed 57-55 to the Senate plan, which now must be approved by federal law officials before it can be used for the 2002 elections. The map was tentatively approved by an eight-vote margin Tuesday. Afterward, GOP leaders put more pres sure on party colleagues to reject the plan because House Speaker Jim Black, D-Mecklenburg, refused to accept amendments for the Senate and House plans. Black said he has been fair, and he used the rules to keep months of work on the maps intact. A defeat likely would have further delayed adjournment in this record long session and raised the ire of Senate Democrats. “We wound up a major part of our business today,” Black said after the vote. Members of each chamber have approved the other chamber’s map as a formality. But some black Democrats were unhappy with the Senate map because it reduced the number of dis tricts with a population of at least 50 percent black from the current four to two in the new map. These Democrats delayed final pas sage of the state House map until last week because they believed an earlier map would reduce minority influence. The Senate plan would do the same thing, said Rep. Alma Adams, D- Guilford. “I want to voice my objection one more time,” said Adams, who also com plained about the unusual Wednesday morning floor session. “I am opposed to this. 1 don’t think it’s fair.” CONGRESSIONAL From Page 3 remain in Congress,” he said. Hill said that after the forum the committee will consider public input and make any necessary amendments to the Democratic plan. He said he expects a full House vote on the pro posal by the end of next week. Allred said he expects all Republican committee members will be present for the committee vote and will vote as a bloc. He said this would result in a tie - causing the Democratic proposal to fail and forcing a compromise between the two plans. But Hill said he does not expect the congressional redistricting process to be as drawn out as the plan to redraw state House districts. State redistricting was held up for more than a week by a group of black Democrats who urged for more minor ity representation. “With only 13 districts, it would be hard to single out any particular race,” Hill said. But he added that it is important for legislators to agree on the best plan because it will last for 10 years. “I want to see a plan that people will be happy with,” Hill said. “We want to draw maps that will be what people want.” The State 8 National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
