2 Thursday, February 21, 2002 Congress to Support TPAC Restructuring By Nikki Werking Staff Writer Members of Student Congress said Tuesday that they plan to draft a resolu tion to call for the restructuring of the Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee. Congress members said the resolu tion also might include a admonition of TPAC Chairman Bob Knight, who admitted misrepresentation in his state ment to the committee last week. At last week’s TPAC meeting, Knight announced five budgetary directives that he said came from Chancellor James Moeser. He later admitted that the directives did not come from Moeser but were his own. Knight said he hoped the guidelines would pressure TPAC into agreeing on a budget for the Campus Calendar Today 6 p.m. - Theta Nu Xi multicultur al sorority Inc. would like to invite all interested women to a “Get to Know You” fun activity in 210 Dey Hall.

Student Body President Justin Young, who also is a TPAC member, said at Tuesday’s Congress meeting that TPAC members do not trust Knight. He also said last week’s events are proof that the person who fills the role of chairman for TPAC should not come from University administration. “I think (TPAC members) felt forced to make a decision on something inap propriate,” he said. “There’s too much meddling from South Building.” Decisions made by TPAC have to be approved by Moeser and by the UNC Board of Trustees before they are enact ed.

These points were suggested at a Monday meeting between student lead ers and Nancy Suttenfield, vice chancel lor for finance and administration. Young said student government lead en would applaud any action taken by Congress. “To say we had an interesting fiasco (last week) would be an understate ment,” he said. “Whatever action Congress takes, a resolution would be greatly appreciated.” Congress Speaker Mark Townsend sug gested that Congress consider admonish ing Knight for his actions at last week’s TPAC meeting as part of the resolution. “I think we need to say that it’s not 8 p.m. - Sept. 11 - New York City.

Courts to Decide Fate Of May Primaries The Associated Press SMITHFIELD - A state judge agreed Wednesday to allow the appellate courts to decide whether to stop the May primary legislative elections, a week after he ruled new districts unconstitutional. Superior Court Judge Knox Jenkins said holding elections in state House and Senate districts that had been declared unconstitutional would be illogical but stopped short of delaying the May 7 primaries. He issued an order that would change the election schedule but deferred to the North Carolina Court of Appeals or state Supreme Court. Either court has the authority to halt the elections until the unconstitutional districts are redrawn. Last Friday, Jenkins said he wasn’t inclined to stop the elections for state House and Senate seats under new maps drawn last fall. However, his order Wednesday clear ly envisions that they could be moved and new maps drawn before elections.

I can’t speak to what the Supreme Court will do," said Daughtry. “I’m hopeful they will do what we believe the law is. They’ll have the opportunity.” Republican legislators filed the lawsuit in November, contending the new leg islative districts violate a provision of the state constitution which forbids dividing counties. Tom Farr, a lawyer representing the Republicans, said he would file a peti tion with the state Supreme Court asking for an expedited review. State attorneys argued that the U.S. Voting Rights Act invalidated a constitu tional requirement not to split counties. The GOP countered that the require ment of the Voting Rights Act not to dilute minority voting strength could be met while following the North Carolina Constitution. The House plan divides 70 of North Carolina’s 100 counties to form 112 dis tricts. The Senate map divides 51 coun ties to establish 46 districts.
