ing. N.C. State University approved
in November a S3OO campus
initiated tuition increase. UNC-
Asheville's Board of TVustees voted
in December for a S3OO in-state and
S6OO out-of-state tuition increase.
In addition to tuition, Wilson
wants the board to work with the
N.C. General Assembly, which will
convene on Jan. 26, to advance the

The board expressed its desire
in the fall to fully fund enrollment
growth and perhaps finally have it
placed on the state’s continuation
budget.

STUDENT VOTE
FROM PAGE 1
Vote Carolina made a concerted
effort to increase voter turnout by
providing transportation to polling
sites and advertising the option of
early voting.
“So many people voted in early
voting, and that’s something I
considered a great success,” Spivey
said.
Vote Carolina officials now will
turn their attention to the upcom
ing town elections in which stu
dents account for almost one-third
of the electorate.
“Students can have a much,
much larger impact than in nation
al elections,” Spivey said.
Student government officials
also will discuss amending the
Student Code to include a clause
about Vote Carolina.
“Vote Carolina is not a one
or two-year voter drive,” Spivey
said. “It’s something that will stay
around here, (and) I hope we can
produce similar numbers in the
future.”

BELL AWARD
FROM PAGE 1
“From our point of view, a politi
cally expedient decision was made
to retire the Bell Award in an atmo
sphere of ambivalence about what to
do and absent a formal UNC policy
on historical revisionism,” he said.
Yonni Chapman, a graduate
student who initiated talks on the
award last year, said that Moeser
made the correct decision: “As much
as we do need to honor women, we
can’t do that in this day and age by
honoring a white supremacist.”
But renaming Spencer Residence
Hall would not be the same as the
move to retire the award, said Harry
Watson, director of the Center for
the Study of the American South.
“A building that was named 75 to
200 years ago is a part of our his
tory,” he said. “The name of a build
ing can be a person with all kinds of
pluses and minuses. There are peo
ple who say an award should not be
named for a person with minuses.”
The foundation’s Jan. 1 letter also
asked that a recent financial gift
intended to restore the James Lee
Love house be redirected within the
UNC system at the family’s discre
tion.
“We believe the chancellor has
made a mistake,” Love said. “It’s
not really about emotion. It’s about
principle. I could fully accept retire
ment of the award if they treated all
the awards in the same way.”
Moeser is surprised by the family’s
response but stands by his decision.
He plans to meet with Spencer’s
relatives to resolve any tension.
“I’m disappointed and sad that
they’re hurt by this,” Moeser said. “I
continue to have a very high regard
for Cornelia Phillips Spencer. It’s
important to separate this woman
from the historical moment in his
tory which creates some problems
for African Americans.”
Love said that he looks forward
to discussing the issue with Moeser
and that he hopes to see a consis
tent policy established to prevent
similar situations.
“There are a lot of historians on
campus, students and alumni that
have written in disagreement,” Love
said. “As long as we have a policy
that’s fair and consistent, we’re okay
with any decision that is made.”

positive and being fun,” he said.
Thursday stands as the official
start of the elections, but potential
candidates have been steadfast in
their preparation.
“It’s been really busy. I’ve been
seeing four to five people every day
since November 2,” said student body
president hopeful Tom Jensen.
Jensen has gathered a team of
more than 100 volunteers who will
dorm-storm every night in hopes
of obtaining enough signatures to
enter the race.
Leigha Blackwell, also vying for
the title of student body president,
began developing her platform in
late September. “We took a student
survey on our own initiative to find
out what students were concerned
about,” she said.
Blackwell said she hopes
Thursday’s meeting will be instru
mental in avoiding problems simi
lar to those that surfaced during last
year’s student body president race.
“(We hope) the meeting will
clarify the new revisions regarding
election laws to make sure we’re all
on the same page,” Blackwell said.
But Jamie Polen, vice chairman of
the BOE, said that in order to ensure
a clean and successful election, board
members need to focus on “solving
problems before they occur.”

DALZELL

ing toJ ■'.y, we remain firm in that
belief.”
When Dalzell’s case went to trial
in December, the defense argued
that police did not read Dalzell
his Miranda rights until after they
had obtained a statement.
Miranda rights, among other
things, allow defendants to con
sult with a lawyer before giving
any sort of statement.
“This case includes officers who
have sworn to uphold the law but
resulted to lawlessness to extract a
statement from a man they believe
to be guilty,” said James Williams,
Dalzell’s attorney, during Monday’s
hearing.
“The officers violated statutory
laws and the Constitution of the
United States to extract this con
fession,” Williams said. “They are
not above the law.”
Dalzell has been the No. 1 sus
pect since Key’s disappearance on
Dec. 1,1997.
Seven years later, when he
was arrested based on a charge
of larceny by an employee, police
thought they finally had the lead
they were looking for.
But because of tactics used by
the police officers, Barber ruled to
suppress Dalzell’s testimony.
“Mr. Dalzell’s statements were
induced by fear, threats, hopes and
promises,” he said.
Friends of Key were in the
courtroom Monday, wearing rib
bons and pins in her memory.
“I feel he will answer to a higher
power than the court,” said Joy
Preslar after the ruling.
“I am disappointed but hope
ful,” said Mike Hurlbert, another
of Key’s close friends, following
the ruling. “I think the judge was
unfortunately right, and I think
the police in desperation went
too far.”
Fox said he was not surprised
by Barber’s ruling.
“I knew there was a 50-50
chance of the judge suppressing
the statements going into this,”
he said.
Louis Bilionis, a constitu
tional law professor at UNC, said
Barber’s ruling was consistent
with the law.
“(Barber) practiced subtle legal
principles and felt duty bound to
exclude the evidence because the
Constitution had been violated in
several respects,” Bilionis said.
Fox moved for an appeal after
Monday’s ruling and will speak to
the N.C. Attorney General’s office
this week to see whether an appeal
will be made.
If the attorney general’s office
is not optimistic about an appeal,
one is unlikely to happen, he
said.
“The judge, in ruling, knows
this statement is critical to the
state’s case,” he said.
“Without it, the defendant may
or may not be tried.”
If an appeal is not possible, then
the prosecution will have to rely
on physical evidence, Fox said.
Dalzell is still being held in
custody in Orange County Jail
and will remain under his cur
rent bonds, altogether valued
at $90,000, unless Williams
decides to go to court to reduce
the bond.
Dalzell still faces charges relat
ed to larceny by an employee.
He also faces six felony counts
of sexual exploitation of a minor,
filed separately based on evidence
seized from his Carrboro apart
ment after his arrest.
A date has not yet been set for
Dalzell to face the other charges.
