6 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 2004 DEVELOPMENT FROM PAGE 1 most needs change is the ... time frame,” she said. “It is not workable.” Concerns over the review period were sparked by the parking deck and chiller plant proposed by UNC last year, requiring an additional two months of council review. The town wants to extend the review period beyond 90 days to allow time for more revisions. Non- University construction projects have to submit a concept plan to council before the review period. “It is anew process and has not been implemented into the 01-4 zoning regulations,” said council member Cam Hill. “But I liked the mayor’s suggestion to bring con cept plans (to 01-4).” University officials said they are willing to cooperate.“ That sugges tion has merit,” Runberg said. In a letter sent to council Monday, Nancy Suttenfield, UNC vice chancellor for finance and administration, expressed the University's concern about changes to 01-4 zoning regulations. She stated that extending the review period might inhibit the University from adequately serving the state. “The (zoning) plan has been a give and take between the the town and University” said Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor for research and economic development. “We have SSOO million from the state and a commitment to get (the construc tion) done in a set time frame.” Greene said the minor revisions the University requested could hap pen quickly, but die major changes require more consideration.

Kerry is pre pared to dip into Democratic Party coffers to pay for his own ads, but Bush has a huge cash advantage. Calling Kerry “my friend,” Edwards told supporters in Atlanta, “He’s been an extraordi nary advocate for causes that all of us believe in.” The freshman senator from North Carolina stopped just short of conceding, but two Democratic officials said on condition of anonymity that Edwards would step aside Wednesday in Raleigh. Kerry rolled up huge Super DEFERRED RUSH FROM PAGE 1 Rusty Carter advocated for deferred rush because of numer ous parent concerns about exhaus tive time commitments. Jim Tatum, chairman of IFC’s Fraternity Alumni Advisory Committee, said 40 percent to 50 percent of UNC fraternities have minor problems involving pledges being forced to do inappropriate personal errands for fraternity members. He said, such problems are significant in 5 percent to 7 percent of fraternities. The wasteful time commit ments take away from the aca demic needs of freshmen, he said. “Pledges shouldn’t be asked to do that,” he said. “Tasks should bene fit the fraternity, not just a brother.” Tatum said the committee hopes to make time commitments more reasonable for pledges so they can devote time to their stud ies and campus organizations. From Page One Tuesday triumphs in California, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Minnesota and his home state of Massachusetts, as well as a razor thin win in Georgia. Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean denied Kerry a sweep, winning his home state two weeks after drop ping out of the race. In all, 10 states with a combined population of 94 million, one-third of the U.S. total, awarded 1,151 del egates Tuesday: more than half of the 2,162 needed to seize the nom ination. Kerry, a 60-year-old senator, had 1,127 delegates to Edwards’ 376. Dean had 182, the Rev. Al Sharpton had 24 and Rep. Dennis Kucinich of These concerns, Tatum said, are already well addressed in Panhellenic chapters, adding that women in these organizations have a higher average grade point averages than nonmembers. Trustee Jean Kitchin said stu dent involvement is important in a decision of such magnitude. “If students and alumni advis ers work hard to make sure that students have the opportunity to engage in their academic life, then this wouldn’t be an issue,” she said. “The ball is in the students’ hands.” The task force meets every Friday and discusses ways to rem edy the problems brought forth by trustees. “We have discussed the possi bility of revising the Code of Conduct to make it more effective and applicable,” said Walker Rutherford, president of the IFC. Suggestions have been made by the alumni council to make the Code of Conduct visible to all chapter members and to require Ohio, 16. “The issue that drove me is get ting rid of Bush, and that led me to Kerry,” said Ron Debry, 47, of sub urban Cincinnati. “Maybe Edwards someday, but I don’t think he’s ready yet.” Exit polls showed Kerry domi nated among Democrats of all philosophies and all stripes. No matter who they picked Tuesday, voters seemed comfortable with Kerry as the nominee: About eight in 10 voters said they would be sat isfied if he won the Democratic race. And his support came from across the landscape from men and women, blacks, whites and Hispanics, and voters of all age and income groups. new members to sign it. In addition, the task force requested that individual chapter presidents compile information from peer chapters regarding the number of complaints from first semester pledging, the percentage of chapter members that pledged as freshmen and a financial analysis. This is the first comprehensive analysis of deferred recruitment since 1996, when a study was con ducted by the Chancellor’s Committee on Greek Affairs. The committee voted against deferred rush then, citing a num ber of concerns. They determined that deferred rush created a semester-long “dirty rush” that hindered the intellectu al climate and also caused Greek organizations to suffer financially. “From a financial aspect, Greek organizations would lose one bill able semester,” said Rutherfurd. He said that if rush is deferred, houses will be forced to compete with one another to recruit a large number of pledges at one time. “We’re hesitant to remove the opportunity and freedom of choice for first-year students to rush in the fall,” Rutherford said. “We are trying to have a united voice, but everyone’s aware of the differences between the councils.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Later, Calabria said he hopes to see West involved in student gov ernment. “She ran a good cam paign,” he said. “I’ve always thought well of her as a person despite all the stuff that’s gone on.” The announcement of the elec tion results was delayed for more than an hour by the men’s basket ball game against Clemson University. It was a fitting end to a race that has dragged on two weeks beyond the typical lifespan of a stu dent body president contest. West and Calabria finished first and second, respectively, in the Feb. 10 election that featured eight candidates. That sent the two to the Feb. 17 runoff election, after which West’s narrow victory even tually was ruled tainted by the Board of Elections because West’s boyfriend Alistair Cooper, a UNC alumnus, was found guilty of mali ciously soliciting votes in the Undergraduate Library computer lab during the final hour of the runoff election. It took the board one week to reach that conclusion, during which it sorted through numerous allegations accusing both cam paigns of multiple violations. All charges against the Calabria campaign were dropped, and because West was ruled to have no knowledge of Cooper’s violations, a re-election was ordered with the West campaign losing all its remaining campaign funds. But Tuesday night, Calabria supporters were quick to deflect REFERENDUM FROM RAGE 1 tively. Their budgets for next year have already been approved as part of Congress’s annual budget, and nearly all the funding requests of the two branches were met.

You gain that when ... people used this as an excuse to refocus on the ideas of the race.” The voter turnout was almost identical to the turnout in the orig inal runoff election, a fact that sur prised and delighted many involved in the campaigns. Calabria Campaign Manager TVe Jones said the dedication of such a large campaign staff was critical to generate and maintain voter inter est during the prolonged race. “A lot of people were so sold on Matt as a candidate,” Jones said. “They wanted him to win so bad, at some times more than he wanted to win.” Outcome aside, this election undoubtedly is one for the books in the history of UNC student self governance. “This has truly been an historical election,” BOE Chairwoman Melissa Anderson said seconds before announcing the results. “In the end, students voices were heard.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. dence that the student body recog nized the need for a more depend able source of funding for the two branches. “People are divided, so clearly there is support for stable funding of these branches.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
