has maintained that same method
when courting student input.
“He’s got a very large network of
people,’ he said. “He doesn’t have
to force himself on those people,
they want to talk to him.”
Johnston pointed to the chan
cellor’s student advisory commit
tee —of which he is chairman— as
one avenue for this dialogue.
Students had contacted
Dearmin’s office about install
ing more locks in Odum Village.
That message was passed on to
Chancellor James Moeser during a
committee meeting, Johnston said,
and locks are now being installed
on exterior doors.
While Dearmin is confident that
he is representing student input at
trustee meetings, efforts at encour
aging a physical turnout have been
unsuccessful.
Few students have attended

Later Monday, Lt. Chris Blue of the Chapel Hill Police Department
surveyed the crowd moving up and down the sidewalks near the intersec
tion of Franklin and Columbia streets.
Blue was coordinating police coverage in that particular area, keep
ing in contact with command as the decision to close the street to traffic
was made.
He explained that police were just looking to keep the fun safe.
“We know they’re going to come up and celebrate,” he said. “Our goal
is to keep it safe for them to do that.”
After the barricades were erected and a large and loud pirate march
ing band had moved past, Blue moved down from the steps and began a
walk west down Franklin Street.
“It’s important for us to be able to manage the numbers here and have
plans in place to deal with anything,” Blue said.
As he stood in the street, conferring with other officers, a higher-up
walked out onto the dark balcony of a temporary headquarters, looked down
at the crowd and the officers, and after a moment, walked back inside.

trustee meetings, and the half
dozen Student Congress represen
tatives at the September trustees
meeting mark the only large stu
dent turnout outside of Dearmin’s
administration.
He said his executive board
plans to hold events, such as a
tuition information forum, to
gauge student interest before the
trustees meet to discuss tuition
hikes in November.
After additional input from
members of the task force, the
tuition hike proposal will go before
Provost Robert Shelton, who is
task force co-chairman along
with Dearmin, before heading to
Moeser’s desk.
It will remain unclear until the
November meeting whether the
University will adopt the provision
advocating for predictability of hikes
that Dearmin has pushed for.

what each is responsible for.”
But some students have ques
tioned whether elections conducted
online will provide reliable results.
Freshman Samuel Brice, a can
didate in District 3, said he still
received error messages when he
attempted the practice election.
He said he worries that this might
curb student participation.
“The process has a lot of errors in
it,” Brice said. “Things aren’t going
the way you would expect them to.
It’s kind of discouraging.”
Brewer said that although the
idea of dropping online elections was
discussed, officials quickly decided
against a paper ballot election.
“Voting online was still the best
way to include all students in terms
of accessibility,” he said.
Students who receive error mes
sages can fix the problem by clos
ing their browser, opening up anew
9:30 p.m.
Steven Couper, a freshman math major, was hard to miss.
Couper’s attire consisted of long black dreadlocks, a tie-dye T-shirt and
blue shades.
The 6-foot-3-inch costumed man, who tried to pass himself off as a senior
to The Daily Tar Heel, moved his way through the Franklin Street crowd
around 9:30 p.m.
He wasn’t sure when his night would end, but he added that he would
attend his 8 a.m. class tomorrow.
“I haven’t missed a single day of class this semester,” said Couper, who said
he made three trips to Wal-Mart to perfect his costume.
Couper didn’t have a set plan of attack. “I plan on taking the night as it
comes, whatever comes up.”
He and his friends walked the street, examining different costumes that
they found interesting.
He said his own costume came to mind after a friend termed him an “anti
hippie.”
His roommate was dressed as a baby, wearing a Depends diaper.

In addition, provisional paper

Student Union.
Sophomore Tyson Grinstead,
a candidate in District 6, said he
had no problems with either of the
practice elections. But he said he
wishes the board had done more to
promote the original election.
“I wish that they would have pub
licized a little more before all the
problems started,” he said. “I think
they’re back on pace ... and they’ve
done a good job since Oct. 18.”
Student Body President Seth
Dearmin also expressed his
approval of the board’s efforts in
correcting problems.
He said he was confident that
the efforts of the elections board
are enough to prevent any more
complications.
