If the tuition increase is prevented and the additions aren’t placed in the budget, we might be forced to reduce services.” Rep. Douglas Yongue, D- Scotland, said he thinks legislators should help advocate free tuition for in-state students, but under stands it is not feasible. “Although it’s virtually impossi ble to make tuition free, I think we should make it as cheap as possible and take it as a major priority,” he said. “If it comes to it, I think we should cut back on something else.” But Yongue, chairman of the THE Daily Crossword By James E.

The president is interviewed and chosen by the CUAB board of directors, a group made up of fac ulty, staff and students from differ ent organizations, Anderson said. Anderson said she believed it was her experience and enthusiasm that led to her selection, rather than an overwhelming presidential attitude. “I’m not your conventional leader type that’s something Appropriations Subcommittee on Education, said he also is not sure how feasible adding to the system’s budget would be. “We have to balance the budget before we can see if the governor’s plan would be successful,” Yongue said. “We still have other issues, like state employees, that have to be settled in the budget. We’re just going to have to find a money source.” Wilson sent a letter to board members Feb. 10 announcing that the decision on whether or not to increase tuition would be post poned until March, citing a need for more time to review the exten sive information available on the issue.

All three legislators said that while they respect Easley’s com ments on the matter, they are not sure how effective his opinion would be in the N.C. General Assembly. “I think it’s good that the gover nor has called attention to this problem, but I find it hard to think he’ll change the mind of the legis lature,” Yongue said.

I’m very much middle of the Pit, and he’s (N.C.) General Assembly.” The primary platform goals of each candidate run parallel to this sentiment. Calabria’s distinctive item is to create the UNC Lobby Corps to maintain positive rela tionships with state legislators and advocate more financial support from the General Assembly. West’s trademark platform item is a pro posal to redesign the committee system of student government’s executive branch to make it the “hub” of student organizations and activities. Both candidates said they would look to appoint a vice president that would counterbalance their per sonal strengths and weaknesses. Calabria said someone with a deep understanding of the facets of student life would be needed in this regard, while Lily said she would look for someone with a keen knowledge of external rela tions and issues taking place out side campus walls. These perceived shortcomings in the two candidates are factors sup porters of both West and Calabria said they had to weigh carefully I Good on any tanning package of • 10 or more visits with this coupon.

Russell said that if these groups have legitimate reasons for their absence, they still are eligible to receive funds and the full body of Congress can choose to hear their presentations. After Congress meets, 50 percent of the remaining surplus will be allotted to student organizations for the fall semester, and the other 50 percent will be designated for the spring semester 0f2005. Next fall, student organizations will be able to request funds every two weeks. Groups requesting fund ing will need to have all the details of their plans worked out before receiving funding, DuPont said. “We fund legitimate, well planned, accurate requests.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. before making an endorsement. Former student body president candidates said they weighed Calabria’s extensive understanding of campus issues against West’s ability to persuade. “It’s undeniable that both are very intelligent, but Matt’s knowl edge base is ridiculous,” said for mer student body president candi date Ashley Castevens, who now is supporting Calabria actively. “While Lily has potential, I feel Matt has already proven himself.” But former candidate Matt Compton, who threw his support behind West last weekend, said he believes that West can catch up to Calabria in terms of knowledge and that her strength as a speaker makes her the better choice. “I get the sense that (Calabria) might not communicate his ideas as effectively,” Compton said. “It’s one thing to know all the facts, it’s another to communicate your STUDENT TRAVEL & RFYOND Cheap Fanes?

One audience member asked about implementing platforms and ideas of other candidates. “All of the candidates were ded icated, interested and brought energy and experience,” said Calabria. “I want to prioritize their goals with mine.” Both West and Calabria said they liked a lot of the other candi dates’ ideas and will be taking many into consideration. “For us not to take their ideas into consideration would be a dis service to the University,” West said. “It would be unrealistic to try to use all of them, though we only have a year.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. views. That’s the area where Lily really excels.” One thing the candidates share is a pledge to prioritize the issues of campus tuition increases and poor student relations with admin istrative bodies. No matter where students weigh in regarding the relative importance of each candidate’s strengths and weaknesses, West and Calabria supporters say the magnitude of the issues on the table requires a close scrutiny of what qualities are needed most in the next student body president. “It can’t just be a student think ing ‘I like this guy’ or ‘she’s fun to talk to,’” Compton said of the vot ing process. “I know not everyone is going to stew over this decision like I did, but it is a very important decision.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. 5
