2 Wednesday, September 4, 2002 OFFICIALS From Page 1 continues to serve the local interest.” But Chapel Hill Town Council mem ber Pat Evans said Lee would be better prepared to champion the city’s cause in the post-election legislature. Evans pointed out that newly drawn legislative districts might in fact give Republicans an advantage in the upcoming election and that a senator with a history of consensus building would better serve Orange County’s interests. “It is important to have somebody to represent our community,” she said. “It is my understanding that (Lee) has never introduced a piece of legislation that hasn’t passed. He understands how to get the votes.” But Chapel Hill council member Mark Kleinschmidt said being a suc cessful lawmaker requires more than simply generating votes. He said Kinnaird’s voting record shows that she votes her conscience and is willing to propose bills that align with her convictions even if she knows they Kick-Off Reception Wednesday, September 4th, 5:00-6:00 Campus Y Lobby tf / .

I think they’re a great pair.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. From Page One PETITION From Page 1 by several in regards to sponsoring the petition with me." Council member Dorothy Verkerk said the petition has plenty of merit. “It’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation,” she said. “I think people enjoy Apple Chill, but I also realize it costs the town a lot of money. “I’ll have to think long and hard on this one.” Council member Jim Ward echoed Verkerk’s comments. “Reasonable peo ple are making reasonable points,” he said. “I’ve been a member of this com SPEECH From Page 1 Sue Estroff, chairwoman of the Faculty Council.

Provost Robert Shelton said he is look ing forward to hearing about the strong academic programs and great under graduate experience UNC can provide. Moeser has led the University admirably in the past year and has great accom plishments to talk about, Shelton said. “I think there is a constant theme of being the best and taking the lead.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. DISCUSSION From Page 1 ferences are accepted by Islam, which professes that final judgment will be made by Allah, the one supreme god, he said. “Nowhere in the entire Quran is there any foundation for the so-called holy war,” Badawi said. “Nowhere in the entire Quran is there any foundation for a Muslim to fight another person based solely on religion.” Badawi said many of the misinter preted Quran passages about holy war were written while Muslims were suffer ing heavy persecution and had to fight for their beliefs. Even then, the Muslim warriors would spare people who promised not to aid the enemy, he said. “Unfortunately, people are still quoting these passages 1,400 years later, saying you should fight,” he said. SENATE RACE From Page 1 adequate funding for UNC-system schools and community colleges. Lee said he also is taking steps to increase funding to UNC Hospitals. But when the senators were ques tioned about their stances on a lottery referendum, Kinnaird and Lee took opposing sides of the debate. “I do support a referendum for the people to vote for a lottery,” Lee said. “The people have been asking to vote on a lottery for years.” But Kinnaird said that though she thinks a lottery would pass by a referen dum vote, she does not favor bringing the lottery to the state. The lottery would generate jobs in lottery agencies outside the state and would cost the state revenue spent on advertising, she said.

But in the Quran, he said, Jews and Christians are respected as “people of the book” because they all share similar religious roots. “If you look at the total ity of history, you will see more peace between Israelis and Muslims than with many other faiths.” Senior Sarah Khanani said she wished more non-Muslims had been at the speech to see Badawi’s views. Intolerance of Islam can only be defeated by the spread of accurate information, she said. “People just believe what they hear. If you hear someone on CNN saying it, you’re more likely to believe it” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. The senators had mixed reactions to a question about the relationship between the General Assembly and the UNC-system Board of Governors. “I think the (BOG) is a politicized, unwieldy and not very effective body,” Lee said. “I think the BOG should be cut down to no more than 18 non-elect ed officials.” Though they focused on educational issues, both senators mentioned their support for a moratorium on North Carolina executions. But Kinnaird said she alone has repeatedly introduced a moratorium bill. Both candidates said that no matter who wins, the loser will continue to sup port the victor. “We’ve worked together for so many years,” Kinnaird said. “We don’t intend to stop now.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
