Asa campus, NCSU has raised $48,000, said Will Quick, project coordinator for Compassion in Action. “We’ve had a lot of support from the adminis tration.” Quick said members of Compassion for Action hope to raise $150,000 for hurricane relief. TRIP FROM PAGE 1 ished home and already begin to think about landscaping. Traveling for four days along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and through wrecked parishes of Louisiana, with DTH photogra phers Whitney Shefte and Brandon Smith, I didn’t expect to feel wel comed. Driving into a ruined town with a camera and a notepad doesn’t feel the least bit noble, especially when so many others are driving in with food, water and blankets. But everywhere we went, people wanted to share their stories. And their food. An 4 water. And any thing else they had left to offer.

Elaine Tola, a program officer at the Carolina Center for Public planned to be eating out of cans in the back of our car. Instead, the Tangipahoa Parish president pre pared a dinner for us and the N.C. National Guardsmen we were fol lowing. In Waveland, as we toured a home that had been under seven feet of muddy floodwaters, a woman apologized over and over for not having finished cleaning up - _ “I’m usually a very good house keeper,” she said, as if the mud caked floors were somehow her fault. We spent a night in nearby Bay St. Louis, Miss., where the vast majority of the homes were either flooded or gone. But we slept under a sound roof, with clean sheets and real pillows, thanks to an angelic From Page One Service, said she believes UNC-CH fundraising efforts will continue to come together in the coming weeks. “I think everyone has really stepped up and been creative,” she said. “I’d suspect there is going to be many more things coming down the road” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. couple named the Kellys. With one of the few homes left unscathed by Katrina, they pui us up like royalty and chatted hap pily over a breakfast of pancakes. I don’t know how in the world I’m ever going to write a thank you let ter that will do them justice. We never went to New Orleans I don’t think we could have got ten in if we’d cared to try —but it didn’t njatter. A city is a collection of people, and the people of New Orleans aren’t there anymore. A lot of them are in Baton Rouge, where we spent an afternoon in a massive Red Cross shelter. Rhonda Smith, whose whole family had spent 11 days in the city’s convention center, bristled at the thought of being called a refugee. “They didn’t call those people ROBERTS FROM PAGE 1 and integrity of the Supreme Court, and I will work to ensure that it upholds and safeguards opportu nities for all Americans.” Members of the committee had the opportunity to tell Roberts what issues they would be focusing on and to express their concerns and expectations for the remainder who left Florida ‘refugees,’” she said. “They were ‘evacuees.’” But the truth is that she and the thousands of other New Orleans residents scattered across the country haven’t just been evacuat ed from their city they’ve essen tially been exiled from it. Seeing the reality of what that means was probably the most wrenching part of the trip. Sitting on the floor of that shel ter, my own home was a two-day drive away, and it felt too far. Rhonda’s was an hour’s drive south, but infinitely farther. And there was no way I could understand how she felt. Contact Eric Johnson, a sophomore, at ericjohnson@unc.edu. of the hearings. Popular topics included con stitutional privacy; discrimina tion against women, minorities, the elderly and the disabled; and limitations on Congress. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., spent much of her allotted time dis cussing the constitutional right of privacy, an issue she favors. “One of the most important issues that needs to be addressed by you is constitutional privacy,” she said. “It will be very hard for me to vote for someone who would overturn Roe v. Wade.” Sandra Rierson, professor at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, said she expects there to be concern about his position on that issue now that he could have a hand in overturning the decision. “I think an issue that is going to have to be discussed a lot is constitutional privacy,” she said. “Previously he said he would hold to Roe v. Wade, but it is a whole new ball game when you’re talking about a Supreme Court justice.” Marshall said Feinstein’s point ed remarks about privacy made him think the moderates must be concerned. There was some discrepancy about what questions could be asked IcriU} (Bar Mrri and how they should be answered. Republicans emphasized that Roberts did not need to answer all questions, but Democrats made it clear they would be asking specific questions, Marshall said. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said it is not appropriate for anyone to ask Roberts about how he would vote on specific cases and stressed that he can choose to answer any question as he sees fit. In all, Rierson said that the hearings went smoothly and that both sides played the roles they were expected to play. Both she and Marshall said the tame first day reflects that people see the situation as one ideologi cal conservative replacing anoth er. If Roberts were replacing the swing-vote position held by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, there might have been more contention. “I think there is very little ques tion that he’s going to be con firmed,” Rierson said. “The left is at a loss as far as deciding what to do about this nominee. “In respect to former Supreme Court hearings, I think this one is not going to be as interesting.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
