several highlights of his proposed
initiatives.
He said he wants to overhaul both
the academic advising program and
Student Health Service.
“Academic advising right now is a
disaster,” he said.
His plan to change Student
Health involves hiring more nurs
es more doctors would require
higher fees, he said.

Students are required to wait in
a line to request a book. Staff mem
bers then transfer the requested
books from a storage location
to the customer service desk at
Student Stores.
“Right now we’re squeezed,” said
John Jones, director of Student
Stores. “We’re doing everything we
can.”
Despite the hassle, customers
said they were pleased with the
quality of the employee service.
“The staff is pretty congenial,”
said Rita Lauria, a graduate stu
dent at the School of Law.

bers that he will look at graduate
school enrollment to ensure that
UNC attracts minorities. He also
discussed his plans to increase
diversity among the members of
the Honor Court.
Holloway began his address by
telling the audience not to vote
for him for his experience or BSM
membership, but for his broader
goals for the University.
“I want you to join a movement
to make this campus better,” he
said.
Holloway went on to discuss his
Service aside, the lengthy wait
has discouraged students from buy
ing textbooks at Student Stores.
“It does not allow us to view the
thing we’re about to put SIOO into,”
Lauria said. “It almost compels
Web purchase.”
Steve Thurston, manager of Ram
Book and Supply on West Franklin
Street, said students are seeking out
alternative textbook providers.
“I’ve heard several people talk
ing about it over the last few days,”
he said.
“Some people seem to think that
Student Stores wasn’t even selling
books at all because the upstairs
was roped off.”

plans to create a group of student
advisors to the Board of Trustees
to help them stay connected to the
interests of the student body.
He also said he wants to get
students involved with municipal
elections.
“The elections in Chapel Hill
and Carrboro are the most impor
tant elections during your four
years here,” Holloway said.
The three pairs of juniors run
ning for senior class officer pre

Weiss and McDonald said they

increase in business.
“For this time in the semester,
the foot traffic definitely seems to
be heavier,” Thurston said.
Although the closure of the sec
ond floor is inconvenient for the
time being, it is necessary, Jones
said.
“If we didn’t, close it now, we
wouldn’t have had it back in time
for back-to-school sales in August,”
he said.

“Our goal is that there’s going

Jones said.
With anew floor plan on the

for outlasting the competition.
“I’m going to sleep all night
Thursday and skip class on
Friday,” said Matthew Fletcher, a
junior history major from Hickory.
Fletcher cited the lure of Duke
riser tickets as his motivation for
entering.
“I need Duke tickets, and I’ve
had bad luck with distributions in
the past,” he said.
Other students said they didn’t
need any special motivation.
“I’m just a big basketball fan,”
said Naresh Sundaresan, a junior
chemistry major from Greensboro.
“I know I can win.”
Although only one student will
be the last contestant standing,
Smith said, numerous incentives
for participation exist.
“The basketball team might
come by and support,” he said.
Smith added that several players
already have agreed to visit the
contestants.
Smith noted that consolation
prizes will be given to the students
in second through seventh place.
Despite those enticements, par
ticipants still face sleep depriva
tion and January weather, which
might prove problematic for some
students.
“I’m pretty notorious for always
being the first to fall asleep,” said
Michael Sonntag, a junior from
Cary majoring in political science
and public policy analysis.
Last year’s competition lasted
almost 59 hours, despite tem
peratures that dropped to 23
degrees.

probably will exceed it.”
