Griffiths said.
The choice then came down to
which school on the list had the
best program in medieval studies.
After checking the UNC Web
site, he noticed that professor
Donald Kennedy had similar
interests. Griffiths said a phone
call sealed the deal.
“He’s probably the real reason
why I came,” Griffiths said.
With close to a year and a half
left to finish up his coursework at
UNC, Griffiths said he hopes to
then attain his doctorate and teach
at a American university.
A two-year stint teaching
English courses in Japan following
his completion of undergraduate
work in England was a lure.
“That confirmed that I didn’t
want to teach high school,” Griffiths
said. “I enjoy teaching, but at the
same time I like to teach more spe
cialized studies.”
The transition from Japan to the
U.S. also confirmed the problems
many international students face
getting here in the first place.
“It was a bit tricky with the
whole visa thing doing it in
Japan as a British citizen,” Griffiths
said. “I had to figure out what to do
mostly on my own.”

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
On this point Dykstra is advo
cating to the University’s Board of
Trustees a number of ways in which
the University can ensure that inter
national students keep coming.
“We need to increase TA sti
pends,” she said. “We need to seek
additional private support for
graduate fellowships. And we need
to make tuition remission a prior
ity in our legislative agenda.”
Because UNC has a limited
number of tuition remissions,
international graduate students
don’t have the option of becoming
a resident of North Carolina later
in their careers, Dykstra said.
Making sure the financial and
interpersonal needs of these stu
dents have been integrated into
the campus community is impor
tant as well, Dykstra said.
“They are our future faculty,”
she said. “They are our future
researchers. They are our future
public servants.”
As research assistants, Dykstra
said the impact of interna
tional graduate students on the
University is profound.
“They power our whole research
endeavors here,” she said. “They
carry their service beyond North
Carolina.”

for four days while at the facility.
Western Youth was not offered to
the secretaries as a choice of facili
ties to which Sapikowski could be
moved.
The order mandates that
Sapikowski be monitored 24
hours a day and undergo daily
psychiatric evaluations at Central
Prison to ensure his continued
safety.
If an evaluation shows that
he meets the criteria for invol
untary commitment, he will be
relocated back to John Umstead.
If Sapikowski remains in Central
Prison, the case will come before
the court again Nov. 28.
Wednesday’s hearing also settled
a motion from public defender
James Williams to withdraw as
Sapikowski’s attorney.
Raleigh defense attorneys
Rosemary Godwin and Johnny
Gaskins were formalized as the
teen’s new defense team.
In light of the attorneys’
appearances, the motion was
approved.
The murder trial is expected to
begin by next summer.

which teaches the practice of objec
tivity in reporting, there is much
scrutiny of Stossel’s political views,
which he openly advertises.
Stossel said his views have led
some to label him a conservative,
which within his “circles” is com
pared jokingly to being called a
child molester, he said.
He said in his work he has
noticed a bias against his political
beliefs.
Asa consumer reporter, he won
Emmys for stories that uncov
ered shady businesses, he said,
but when he began suggesting
watchdog reporting of the govern

awards.

Town Board.
According to Newton’s latest
finance report, filed Oct. 31, he
raised $7,581 and spend $6,233.80
the largest amount reported
among candidates in all three town
races.
Newton said that he did not
expect the large sum to buy him
the most votes but that spending
helped him as a challenger to get
name recognition.
“I was the underdog coming
into this chase,” he said. “I did not
have the luxury of haring a record
to run on.”
It might seem obvious, but chal
lengers often spend more money
than incumbents to get their mes
sages out.
“I literally started with one
vote mine in Carrboro,” said
Carrboro Board of Aldermen can
didate Katrina Ryan. “We knew we
had to spend more than (incum
bents) for name recognition.”
Ryan, who did not receive a seat
on the board, spent about $2,300,
mostly on signs, printing and post
age.
Another newcomer to Carrboro
town government, Randee
Haven-O’Donnell, spent $1,277 of
$3,046.64 raised and garnered the
second highest number of votes in
the election.

Tomorrow, contacted Stossel
though the Young America’s
Foundation and invited him to
deliver the speech.
“I found out that he was one of
the few libertarians in the media,”
said Wampler, a senior journalism
and political science major. “His
views are unique, and you don’t
hear them a lot, especially from
someone in the media.”
Stossel sprinkled his speech with
allusions to UNC and Chapel Hill.
He invited students to join him
at the volleyball court on North
Campus for a games of doubles.
Sophomore Kimberly Francisco
said she enjoyed the lecture because
she always has identified herself as
a libertarian.
“He put into words my feelings
on (issues),” Francisco said. “It gave
me a different perspective.
“It helped opened my mind to
new ideas.”

Mayor Joe Phelps, who spent less
than challenger Tom Stevens, lost
his seat by 43 votes.
Mark Kleinschmidt, who won
a council seat, said his incumbent
status helped him spend about
$3,000 less than he spent during
his last election.
“I was an incumbent,” he said.
“Last time, I was a newcomer, and
people really didn’t know me.”
According to Oct. 31 reports,
Kleinschmidt had spent the
least amount of those elected
to the council and had raised
the most. Kleinschmidt said his
total expenditures reached about
$3,500.
Gist said campaigns don’t have
to be expensive incumbent or
not.
“The more money spent, the more
you up the ante, and that keeps peo
ple from running,” she said.
“It bothers me that I was the top
vote-getter and people are saying,
‘Oh, it’s all about name recogni
tion,’” Gist said.
“It’s not all name recognition.
It’s that people agree with what
I’m doing.”

nator Dan Harrison, a second-year
student.
Most law schools have similar
programs, but they are organized
by paid staff.
Fifty percent of recent gradu
ating classes completed pro bono
work while at UNC, Standaert
said.
Each assignment given to stu
dents focuses on a specific area of
the law, including domestic vio
lence issues, immigration law and
consumer law.
Novinsky stressed the impor
tance of early involvement in pro
bono work.
“The earlier you expose students
to pro bono work, the more likely
it is that they will do that work as

ing deadline, surely thinking about
how that money paid off.
“In hindsight, it’s always easy
to be critical of the way I spend
money,” Kleinschmidt said. “I look
back and see ways I could have cut
costs.”
Others echoed that sentiment.
“I think spending a little more
money might have helped me,” said
council candidate Will Raymond,
who came in fifth place.
Raymond said he could have
cut costs on items such as bal
loons and could have spent more
on mailing information. “It’s an
interesting question: ‘When does
spending money not help?’” he
said.
Re-elected John Herrera said
being frugal and using free tactics
helped his campaign.
By reusing his past election
signs, Herrera said he was able to
spend less than $1,500. And he
thinks the things he did for free
helped him more.
“I think what helps is... go shake
hands, introduce yourself, talk one
on-one with people,” he said. “That's
what helps, and it’s free.”
