Jen Daum Student Body President Editor’s Note Applications for the foil 2002 editorial page staff are now available at the front desk of The Daily Tar Heel in Suite 104 of the Student Union. Back-page colum nists, editorial board and cartoonist positions are all available. The DTH editorial page staff is com posed of the DTH editor, the editorial page editor, the assistant editorial page editor and eight board writers. The editorial board is responsible for Justin Young has officially finished his term as student body president and passed the torch to Jen Daum. His year in office started out promising, but as the year progressed, combatting parking and tuition battles became overwhelming and diminished the chances of addressing platform issues. But in spite of shortfalls, the Young administration’s work on LGBT issues and diversity awareness will have an impact. Progress Young did donate his salary to several student groups, including Carolina Lobby Corps. But the proposed Student Empowerment Endowment flopped. In the fall, the corps became an officially recognized student group. The group of about a dozen students wrote letters to BOG members to fight tuition increases. Poorly organized and attended tuition increase protests were held. Young crafted alternative proposals and recommendations. Students sat on the tuition task force. Tentative plans are slated for an LGBT Resource Center, and the LGBT task force has made the adminis tration and the community more aware of LGBT issues. In the fall, student government co-sponsored a forum on the Qatar negotiations and suggested several seminars to promote student involvement in the issue. Aprotest was held to fight the elimination of on-campus resident parking. Student government encouraged the restructuring of TPAC and fought against night parking, as well as urged students to voice their concerns via e-mail. The Young administration worked hard to represent students concerns to the chancellor with success in both the Qatar negotiations and parking. In the fall, student government was involved in Development Plan workings, but little progress was made to make campus construction less of a burden on students. Young met with Marian Moore, vice chancellor for information technology, to discuss this issue last semes ter, but no deal has been made. Young’s diverse Cabinet did include a Minority Affairs Committee, and it worked with groups including the BCC to promote programs and awareness. A Safe Ride program was created that expanded P2P stops and printed up business cards promoting taxi services available at local bars. writing unsigned board editorials and endorsements for student government, local and national elections.

Boa 12J7, Chapel Hill, NC 27515 1257 Teacher’s Comments By donating his salary. Young set a bad precedent for future student body presidents who might not be able to do the same. The endowment was not a feasible or long term way to get funding for more student groups on campus. While small, the corps must grow under Jen Daum’s administration to become an active, successful lobbying tool for students’ interests at the state level. But more could’ve been done with the corps this year. Young needed to communicate better with students about the scope of tuition issues this year. Tuition increases were partly inescapable, but Young needed to realize that nego tiating rather than protesting could’ve been more successful. The task force did an excellent ob of working with the administration to represent LGBT issues. The foundation set this year will undoubtedly help in the future. Young’s administration successfully proved to the chan cellor that student involvement in the issue was important and that Moeser made a mistake by not allowing Young to go on the Qatar trip with the BOT. To the credit of both Young and Daum, they successfully negotiated with the BOT to get night parking voted down, a great victory for students. In his sophomore year at Carolina, Moeser didn’t start out as receptive to students concerns as he should have been. The Young administration helped open the doors of communication for a better working relationship for Daum. Young’s administration should’ve worked harder on communicating with the construction officials so that dealing with campus construction was easier on students. Offering off-campus internet has been tossed around for several years now, hopefully Daum’s adminstration will have success, especially because many more classes are requiring Internet-basea resources. Great strides were made to include the LGBT community in the definition of minority and to work with other groups to promote awareness of campus minority issues. Young said that liability issues made establishing the program difficult, but the progress made this year is a solid start. Hopefully, students will have more options in the future. 9lip lailg aar Jferi Professional and Business Staff Plumber and Zedekiah Worsham.
