with the Department of Athletics
to overhaul the men’s basketball
ticket distribution process, creat
ing anew revenue source for the
Homecoming concert and increas
ing student support for UNC’s
Olympic sports.
With the election official she can
make even more strides toward
her goals. Specifically she said
she wanted to get started on the
Homecoming collaboration com
mittee immediately.
“Homecoming is the easiest
thing to get rolling right now,” she
said.
High, this year’s CAA vice
president, said she hopes to com
bine her own new ideas with the
work she already has done with
departing CAA President Justin
Johnson.
“I completely back him on about
everything he does,” she said in an
interview last week. “It’s building
on the accomplishments he has
done.”
After working with High in CAA
for the past few years, Johnson
said he does not anticipate any
problems during the transition of
power.
“We’ve been working together
with CAA for three years basi-

He said rebuilding and strength
ening RHA at the community level
were priorities for his campaign.
To accomplish this goal,
Thompson pledges to recruit and
support strong leaders in campus
residence halls. He also wants to
ensure that RHA provides guid
ance for those leaders.
“I think the best way is to get the
governors in place before the end
of the semester,” he said.
Thompson said he plans to pair
incoming governors with incum
bents to ease the transition and to
show them the ropes.
But before he can begin tack
ling the tasks of RHA president,
Thompson said he needs a few days
to recover from the campaign.
“We’re probably going to try to
calm down, relax a few days and
really start the application pro
cess,” he said.
To ensure that RHA meets the
needs of all its residents, Thompson
pledges to strengthen ties with vari
ous campus organizations.
These groups include the
Carolina Dinning Services, the
Department of Public Safety
and the Office of New Student
in fur.

cally since she’s been a freshman,”
Johnson said. “We work so closely
with everything that’s going on
with CAA.”
Implementing some parts of her
platform such as distribution
changes will require cooperation
with the athletics department, and
steps already have been taken.
CAA and ticket officials have
been working together to explore
online ticket distribution options
for about a year.
High said she thinks chances
are good that the process will be
computerized during her coming
term.
A more long-term goal for High
is to create an endowment fund for
the Homecoming concert.
She said she has had some pre
liminary conversations with the
General Alumni Association about
sponsoring this fund, but with
her election victory she has more
leverage to move forward with the
process.
High said balancing her vice
president job with working on
her goals for next year will be dif
ficult, but she already has been
playing the dual role during the
campaign.
“It’s part of the fun.”

Programs.
Thompson pledges to use RHA
resources to reach out to the com
munity through a variety of service
programs.
This goal includes exploring
the possibility of hosting the N.C.
Association of Residence Halls
conference at UNC.
“Since we are the first public
university the flagship univer
sity of the state of North Carolina
I feel like this should be some
thing we are looking into hosting
on our campus since we haven’t
done it since 1999,” he had said
earlier.
Departing RHA President
Chasity Wilson underscored the
importance of solid managerial
skills when holding the position.
“I think time management is a
big thing,” she said last week. “If
you weren’t used to that you’d have
a hard time.”
Though Thompson ran unop
posed, he said he was surprised
and pleased by the results.
“I was so surprised to receive as
many votes as we did. It shows stu
dents really care about what we’re
doing here on campus.”

have such a voice, and it’s under

One way she plans to make that
voice louder is by reissuing the com
prehensive survey of graduate and
professional students —a task last
completed 20 years ago.
The survey would produce figures
the GPSF could use to confront the
University about graduate and pro
fessional student issues, she said.
“I’m really most excited about
the survey,” she said Tuesday night.

“The results from that are going to
provide a lot of leverage, but we’re
not going to wait for those results.
We’re going to move on graduate
issues now.”
Her platform included plans to
increase communications between
the graduate and professional stu
dent body and the GPSF so that it
can better fulfill its role.
She promised that the GPSF
will become more active and iden

“Hopefully some of our things
will catch on.”
Petersen said she and Schmidt
plan to arrange a meeting with
Friedman and Turner for early
today. The duo did not give any
indication of intending to change
their platform.
A senior Web site and a senior
cabana in the Pit are two main
components in their plan to keep
students updated on campus life.
“We want to provide everything
you need throughout the year,”
Schmidt said ljjst week.

ALLRED
FROM PAGE 1
Allred said he hopes to include
Holloway and his campaign staff
in his administration’s work.
“I’m hoping to work with him
personally” Allred said.
Allred said his first course of
action will be laying the founda
tions of his administration to pre
pare for his April inauguration.
“Most of what we’ll be doing is
direction-setting,” Allred said.
In addition, Allred said he will
meet with the Honor Court in the
coming weeks to discuss plans to
increase its diversity.
Allred also said he will turn his
attention toward implementing his
more than 80 platform points.
During the campaign, Holloway
and his supporters called into ques
tion the scope of Allred’s platform,
but Allred insisted throughout that
every component is feasible.
“They can be done, and they will
be done,” he said Tuesday.
Allred said he talked about
the planks of his platforms with
University officials, who assured
him that each of the initiatives
could be carried out in a student
body president’s one-year term.
Much of Allred’s platform is
geared toward ensuring student
government’s actions have an
impact on students’ everyday lives
while at the same time reducing the
government’s size.
“When anything on campus gets
easier, you’ll know that student
government is responsible,” Allred

Their campaign of “love” hits on

Their campaign influences
student interaction “the love”
among groups, Weiss said last
week. “You want to love all parts
of the year,” he added.
The duo said they spoke with
25 business officials includ
ing those of Buffalo Wild Wings,
Jersey Mike’s and the Tarheel Book
Store about providing special
offers for seniors. Eleven of the
businesses have committed.
“We’ll be emphasizing our diver
sity,” Weiss said after hearing the
results.

said at a Jan. 30 forum.
Allred said he wants to do this
by overhauling campus services
such as Student Health Service,
academic advising and printing
labs proposals that were pri
mary talking points during the
monthlong campaign.
If Allred’s proposal is imple
mented successfully, students can
expect to see more nurse practi
tioners and physicians assistants
employed as’part of an overhaul
of Student Health.
Students also might notice more
full-time advisers working in aca
demic advising next year if Allred
is successful. He said he believes
relying less on part-time faculty
advisers will result in better guid
ance for students.
Allred also heavily promoted his
plan to make printing labs on cam
pus more efficient. He proposes to
install a One Card reader at print
ers, which would allow students to
print all requested jobs at once.
Tuition was also a hot-button
issue for this year’s campaign, which
coincided with administrators’ dis
cussion of next year’s tuition hikes.
Allred plans to lobby adminis
trators to make tuition “predict
able and accountable” by requiring
a report on how tuition increases
are benefiting students.
He also wants administrators to
determine tuition changes years in
advance to ensure students know
the full cost of a UNC education.
