FUNDING

er education.
Because of the new Republican
majority, the House could have new
chairmen positions in all its committees
when the legislature reconvenes in
January. The influential Senate
Appropriations Committee also will
have all new chairmen because the sen
ators holding the positions either retired
or were voted out of office.
Rep. Art Pope, R-Wake, who chose not
to seek re-election, said the new chairmen
in both chambers will allow for new ideas
both in funding higher education and in
balancing the entire state budget.
Pope led several Republican efforts
during the last session to withhold a per
centage of the UNC system’s overhead
receipts -a total of $126 million sys
temwide - to fund other areas of state
government.
In general, Republicans are interested
in oversight of cost control, said Jonathan
Jordan, communications director for the
N.C. Republican Party. He said over
head receipts and summer reading pro
grams - such as UNC’s controversial
reading of “Approaching the Qur’an” -
are two areas that will receive scrutiny.
But Democrats said they worry a

Republican majority in the House will
lead to drastic cuts in higher education.
“I hope they will think twice about
disrupting the University system,” said
Barbara Allen, chairwoman for the N.C.
Democratic Party. “Even if we’re out
numbered, we’re still going to fight for
education.”
Allen said she is particularly con
cerned about budget cuts because of the
recent boom in enrollment at system
campuses across the state and the need
to maintain accessibility.
University officials also expressed
concern that they likely will not receive
the funding necessary to educate a
growing number of students.
“It will be impossible to fund all of
our priorities,” saidJ.B Milliken, UNC
system vice president for public affairs.
“We will continue to make the case for
an increase in enrollment funding.”
Though much past support for enroll
ment growth and other key university
funding has come from Democrats,
Guillory said the UNC system has
many Republican friends both in the
legislature and in constituencies.
He said, “The college-educated sector
of the electorate votes more heavily for
the Republicans.”

Shah said that the largest issue of con
cern for students is tuition but that
because Congress can not directly affect
tuition decisions, the issue will not be
addressed at the forum.
In addition to the three key issues,
textbook rental, book buybacks and the
lowering of textbook prices also will be
a topic of focus during the forum, Shah
said.
Congress members say understand

The speaker of the House and the

entire House, while party leaders -
majority leader and majority whip -
only need approval from the caucus.
Rep. Joe Kiser, R-Catawba, who ran
unopposed, was elected majority leader.

“At this point we have 30 members
representing a student population of
over 20,000,” said Congress Speaker
Tony Larson.
“There is no way that the 30 of us can
know of all the problems facing stu
dents. So any time students can come in
and give us feedback is important -
there’s always a need for that.”

Burke, for the majority whip position.
But some Democrats say splinters in
the Republican camp could lead to the
GOP not winning the speakership despite
holding a majority in the chamber.
“All it would take would be 61 votes for
(Daughtry),” said House Majority Whip
Rep. Beverly Earle, D-Mecklenburg. “But
I don’t think he has those votes. ... We
have heard that they are splintered and
divided over there. That certainly gives
(Black) an opportunity to do something.”
But Kiser said he is confident that party
bickering will not prevent Daughtry from
being speaker as some Democrats have

“We believe we made a strong case
that even though they participated in
the event, the tournament was so infor
mal it did not meet the definition of out
side competition,” said UNC Director
of Athletics Dick Baddour. “Jon and
Will certainly did not intend to break an
NCAA rule; they were acting as good
citizens and spirited members of the stu

NCAA staff’s and committee’s work in
this process.”

Democrats’) part,” he said. “We have 61
Republicans now and we’ll have 61
Republicans on January 29.”
Rep. Ed McMahan, R-Mecklenburg,
who said he originally intended to run for
the speaker position but threw his support
behind Daughtry, said the minority leader
is the best chance to unite the Republican
Party. “I’m confident that we’ll pull all 61
Republicans,” he said. “I also think that
we’ll pull some Democrats.”

UNC coach Matt Doherty. “They are
our captains and have worked so hard
preparing for the start of their senior
