Although Ducote said he supports the proposal as a whole, he said he is disap pointed that it does not require campus es to hear student voices when deciding on tuition increases. “As the policy is written now, I have many concerns as to why student involvement was not better defined,” he said. “Tuition increases TMM—— 111 "1 % 1 JEANS SALE!

BOG member Ben Ruffin, who creat ed the ad hoc committee in spring 2002 near the end of his second two-year term as board chairman, said the potential changes in the proposal are indicators of the system’s long-held stance on tuition. “(The draft) just says we will continue to have low tuition,” he said. “As you read the original intent of the university, it was to be affordable to all North Carolinians.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu. From Page One BOWLES From Page 1 ter’s in business administration in 1969. From there, fate had its way, and his role as heir to the Skipper Bowles lega cy was set. Erskine Bowles took a job at the New York office of Morgan Stanley & Cos. and in 1975 founded the firm that would become Charlotte-based Bowles Hollowell Conner -one of the nation’s leading investment banking firms. In 1993, President Clinton asked Erskine Bowles to head the Small Business Administration, and in accepting, he began to fulfill the civic part of his destiny. And Erskine Bowles certainly has given more hours to public service than the average citizen, whether it’s by pre siding over the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or heading North Carolina’s Rural Prosperity Task Force. No matter the nature of his endeavors, Erskine Bowles’ career and his civic minded pursuits have gone hand in hand. His banking expertise has enabled him to handle deftly not only his clients’ for tunes but also has helped him provide apt guidance to charity organizations, non profit groups and government agencies. But it is actually political duties - par ticularly time spent balancing the federal ADMISSIONS From Page 1 Diversity adds significantly to the college experience by exposing students to people from different backgrounds, saidjerry Sullivan, executive director of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. “Higher education is a healthier place when it’s inclusive,” he said. “People should be exposed to people who have different lifestyles and different senses of what’s right and what’s wrong.” But expressing one’s sexuality in a col- Cliillon'jKeHill the - , Yogurt ) T pump Downtown Chapel Hill • 942 PUMP 106 W.

But fate would again intervene, draw ing him back to public life. The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 nagged at him, Erskine Bowles says, even after the ini tial shock and horror had faded. “I kept hearing my dad’s admonition that all of us have to add to the communi ty woodpile,” he told a group of UNC stu dents in September. “I realized that I want ed to spend the rest of my life in public service. I really thought I could go back to Washington ... and make a difference.” So Erskine Bowles finds himself seek ing high office -a position from which he says he hopes to have a positive impact on the lives of North Carolinians. One can only imagine that Skipper Bowles would be proud.

He stressed that a student’s potential for impacting the campus weighs more heav ily on the minds of admissions counselors. “What’s more influential is what the stu dent expresses and might bring to the campus as a result of their understanding of self and the world around them.” Experiences with sexuality have strong potential as an essay topic because many students are interested in writing about events deeply personal to them, said Steve Farmer, UNC senior associate director for admissions. “It wouldn’t surprise me at all if kids began to address this subject more than they do now.” But Farmer emphasized that it is not the person but the way he handles a sub ject that makes his application stand out. “We care about what (students) care about,” he said. “We want to see the places where kids are most passionate ly engaged.... As long as they can make us sense something of the passion they feel, that’s a good tiling.” Farmer said the number of UNC stu dents addressing sexuality in their essays has remained constant during the past decade. “I can recall a half-dozen cases a year where kids address one or anoth er aspect of their sexuality directly - that’s been pretty constant,” he said. Admissions counselors should not place one essay over another simply because it deals with a controversial topic, Lucido said. “(Someone) can do a beau tiful treatment of these through a lens of sexuality, but it may not be more valuable dJjp laily (Tar Heel RO.

All rights reserved DOLE From Page 1 reiterated that in shaky times like those after Sept. 11, citizens need lawmakers who are led, at least in part, by faith. For Elizabeth Dole, faith - though inte gral to her - is only a part of the package she offers, says her husband, Bob Dole. “She’s well-respected because of her work ethic," the former U.S. Senate major ity leader said at a campaign stop in Hillsborough. “I tried to leave work in the office. She brings stuff home with her.” And with a resume that reads like a laundry list of high-power positions - secretary of transportation, secretary of labor and president of the American Red Cross - Elizabeth Dole has had plenty of work to bring home over the years. Elizabeth Dole’s seven-year stint at the Red Cross is the most recent of her pres tigious posts and is the position she has focused on the most while campaigning. But she counts her ability to break through the intangible barriers in U.S. society as one of her greatest achieve ments. Asa woman in a male-dominat ed field -and the first viable female can didate for president - Elizabeth Dole has broken through more than her fair share of glass ceilings, she says. than a person who does a treatment from an entirely different perspective.” All the attention paid to LGBTQ/ssues can overshadow the intensely personal nature of revealing one’s sexuality in a sensitive situation like college admissions. For many high school students who classify themselves as members of the LG BTQ community, advice on whether to “come out” on their application is not readily available from their high schools. But universities and outside groups are aiming to make the transition to col lege easier for students struggling with sexuality. Multiple resources are avail able for gay and lesbian students trying to pick the right college. A guide published in 2001 by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network provides suggestions for LGBTQhigh school students on how to choose a college. It also provides advice for transgender students, who choose not to identify with what they see as society’s stereotypical definitions of gen der roles and behaviors. The brochure suggests possible ques tions for applicants, including inquiries about courses in I,GBT() studies and the percentage of students who identify themselves as gay. Heightened sensitivity to the needs of LGBTQ students also often is addressed in an individual institution’s informa tional material. Harvard admissions officials decided last year to add a statement to the appli cation booklet describing the atmos phere of the university’s LGBTQ com munity. The brochure cites Harvard’s cli mate toward alternative lifestyles as one consisting of an active, visible group of students and faculty. It emphasizes that students are given a range of opportuni ties according to their own preferences. Lewis, who was responsible for the statement being added, said it was a direct result of the school’s desire to make its published material accurately represent issues students are concerned about.

And on the campaign trail, pledging to fight for disadvantaged, and in some cases even privileged, North Carolinians, Elizabeth Dole is backed by a loyal core of volunteers who are helping her batde for the state’s coveted Senate seat Volunteers range from university stu dents to her campaign manager, Mark Stevens, a Salisbury native and long-time family friend, and even to her husband. But no matter the volunteers’ differences, they all say their dedication is simply a testament to the dedication Elizabeth Dole has shown throughout her life. “She did it for me,” Bob Dole says of his campaign efforts. “She didn’t do it because she had to, she thought I was qualified. I think she’s qualified too.” And that aside, he adds, Elizabeth Dole truly has the best interest of North Carolinians at heart “They will be pleased with her if she’s elected. Even those who don’t vote for her - they’!! be pleased.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. But some officials stressed there is no ideal way for a school to uniformly appeal to the LGBTQ community at large. Much of the response from prospec tive LGBTC) students depends on a campus’s overall attitude toward the community, Sullivan said. He said he has not seen extensive effort from admissions officials to attract students who practice alternative lifestyles. Instead, he emphasized it is more the job of the individual campus to position itself as friendly to the LGBTQ community, at which point applicants will feel comfortable applying. “I have seen more of an effort on campuses in general to create a more welcoming atmosphere,” Sullivan said. “Society itself has been moving to that position that is accepting.” The AACRAO has no official posi tion on whether schools should give preference to students who identify themselves as in LGBTQ, Sullivan said. Some institutions have found the best way to reach out to an underrepresent ed minority is through making them selves known through a college fair as welcoming. On May 18, more than 40 colleges and universities set up booths at a col lege fair in Boston aimed specifically at gay and lesbian youth. Schools in atten dance ranged from small liberal arts col leges like Grinnell College in lowa to Harvard and Brown universities. But despite much effort and the best possible outreach efforts, Sullivan ques tioned whether it is possible for admis sions officials to ever construct a class that reaches an ideal level of diversity. “Mathematically, since minority groups are minorities, you can work rel atively hard and be not as successful,” he said. “(You) attract more majority - white and straight - than minority, be they Native-American, Hispanic, African-American, gay, lesbian.” The State & National Editor can be reached atstntdesk@unc.edu.
