Kffl general Alumni association questioning Lay, Sen. Byron Dorgan, D- N.D., chairman of a Senate commerce panel on consumer affairs, told CNN. But while Lay must show up, he could still invoke his right to not incriminate himself, and refuse to answer questions. After an intense week of hearings, lawmakers say they have strong evi dence of illegal activity surrounding the failure of the energy-trading company, which slid into the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history Dec. 2. A House investigative panel heard hours of conflicting testimony Thursday from Skilling, wljo was chief executive officer of Houston-based Enron, and He said raising student fees by 25 cents would provide enough funding to ensure that all students are covered under the program. “This is a way we can use our student fees for a good cause,” he said. The quiz bowl competition was won other top company officials. Skilling said he knew few details of the complex web of partnerships that brought down Enron, and he insisted he was never warned of problems with the arrangements. Rep. Jim Greenwood, R-Pa., chair man of the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, and Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., who heads the full committee, told CBS’s “Face the Nation” that they didn’t believe Skilling. “He was totally incredible,” said Tauzin. “This is the guy who was in charge of the corporation. ... I’m afraid he may have put himself in some legal jeopardy as a result.” by candidate Will McKinney, who said his knowledge of the University is an example of his qualifications for the position of student body president even though he has no prior experience in student government. “I don’t think student government is a Rubik’s cube that’s hard to figure out,” he said. “If you follow all the issues related to the University, you can do a good job.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
