2 Monday, August 26, 2002 Students Nominated for ASG Positions Ducote will present the nominees Sept. 14 By Emma Burgin Assistant State & National Editor Five students were nominated last week to head up different facets of the UNC-system Association of Student Governments and could be approved by the association’s full body on Sept. 14. The nominees were chosen over the summer by ASG President Jonathan Ducote, a junior at N.C. State University. Amanda Devore, a senior accounting major from N.C. State, is the nominee for vice president of finance and devel opment, the newly-created committee responsible for overseeing the ASG’s $165,000 budget. Devore worked last year on N.C. State Student Senate’s Finance Committee. Ducote said Devore has the technical qualifications necessary for the job of heading the newly created committee charged with overseeing ASG’s expand ed budget. “She has the level of responsibility Campus Calendar Today 5:30 pm - Carolina Leadership Development is hosting the first of two information sessions for the Womentoring Program, a mentoring program for first- and second-year undergraduate women, in Union 208- 209. 7:30 p.m. - The Women’s Voices Chorus, the Triangle’s only classical community-based women’s chorus, will hold an open rehearsal until 9:30 p.m. at Of/Ta/ete'/f Call for details.

The $165,000 ASG budget was gen erated by a systemwide $ 1 student fee increase for the 2002-03 academic year. “My main concern is making sure, with all the budget concerns, the fee money is spent responsibly and that it goes along with the constitutional bylaws,” Devore said. Ducote also said Devore’s close prox imity to the new ASG office, which will be located in Raleigh, is an added advantage. “I wanted to work side by side with (her) to cut down on any prob lems there may be,” Ducote said. Victor Landry from Fayetteville State University is Ducote’s choice for ASG vice president of legislative affairs. “He has great adeptness and skill in organizing things,” Ducote said. “He can send a strong, consolidated message to the legislature and include the public in that message.” Andy Ball, a sophomore from Appalachian State University, is the nominee for vice president of public the University United Methodist Church, 150 E.

Marsha Moore, the nominee for vice president of academic affairs, is a senior elementary education major at Appalachian State University. Moore gained insight into the guiding principles of a state university while working with the chancellor’s office at Appalachian State last academic year, Ducote said. “She was a natural choice,” he said. Ducote nominated Sadie Cox for vice president of student affairs. Cox served as the student body president at East Carolina University last year. Ducote said Cox has experience addressing students’ needs on a local level and brings innovative ideas to the table. Ducote said the nominees all have one thing in common. “They had been thinking about the issues for a long time before they applied for the job,” Ducote said. “They made that clear when they applied.

All rights reserved University Research In Brief Birds Might Not Have Come From Dinosaurs Two UNC doctors have found what they believe is proof that birds did not descend from dinosaurs. Alan Feduccia and Julie Nowicki opened a series of live ostrich eggs at various stages of development and dis covered the first concrete evidence of a thumb in birds. Feduccia is a professor in UNC’s Department of Biology. Scientists agree that dinosaurs devel oped “hands” with digits comparable to the thumb, index and middle fingers of humans. But Feduccia said he and Nowicki’s study proved that birds have only the digits comparable to the human index, middle and ring fingers. This would make it nearly impossible for birds to develop from dinosaurs. Feduccia has been a critic of the the ory that birds evolved from dinosaurs since it surfaced in the 19705. He said it is much more likely that birds and dinosaurs had a much older common ancestor. Because both birds and dinosaurs walked upright, their body structures might have begun to look superficially similar over millions of years, the research shows. Expert: Outlook Bright For U.S. Economy The forecast is bright for the U.S. economy, according to James Smith, adjunct professor of business adminis tration at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. The United States will outperform all other large democratic economies, and the economy could grow by as much as 2.6 percent this year and 3.8 percent in 2003, Smith said in the latest issue of the Business Forecast, a Kenan-Flagler newsletter. Smith said this year will see econom 4i2 E.

The United States will experience growth in real gross domestic product annually with very low inflation for as long as the next decade, Smith said. Smith was rated by The Wall Street Journal as the nation’s most accurate economic forecaster in three of the past five years. Doctors Find Hope for Artificial Heart Valve Albert Banes, a UNC professor of orthopedics, and Wayne Cascio, cardi ologist and professor of medicine at UNC, collaborated to build a bioengi neered, rhythmically beating experi mental model of heart muscle. The new model system is a bioartifi cial trabeculum, or BAT. Trabecula are thin sections of cardiac tissue within the inner surface of the heart’s main pump ing chambers. The discovery is not ready to be used in human patients, but the model could serve as a valuable scientific tool for exploring cardiac disease, including electrical and mechanical disturbances of the heart. Banes and Cascio hope to use this system to study the effects of mechani cal loading on normal cardiac physiolo gy and to develop a model system for the study of cardiac illnesses such as congestive heart failure. Pollution Might Elevate Risk of Breast Cancer A research study led by a UNC pro fessor shows that exposure to pollution from car and airplane exhaust and ciga rette smoke and consumption of grilled and smoked foods moderately increas es a woman’s risk of breast cancer. The study, conducted in Suffolk and Nassau counties on Long Island, N.Y., shows that the pollution particles, poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, elevate the risk by 50 percent. The principal researcher, Marilie Gammon, is a professor at UNC’s School of Public Health. The study cast doubt on a theory that exposure to organochlorines, found in compounds like the pesticide DDT, directly increases a woman’s cancer risk. But researchers said it is possible that organochlorines could hurt a woman’s chances of surviving breast cancer.
