The students are members of 0A5.1.5., the Organization for African Students’ Interests Hang-ups expected for judicial nominees BY BRIAN HUDSON NEWS EDITOR The 87th session of Student Congress is gearing up to go out with a bang. Tonight, in the final meeting of the year’s session, much debate is expected when Congress reviews three judicial branch nominations the three top exec utive branch nominations are expected to pass with less difficulty. Congress must reach a two-thirds majority to approve the nominations for next year’s administrations. In light of potentially improper selec tion processes, contention is expected for the nominations of Candace Debnam for student attorney general, Mark Ihnat for Honor Court chairman and Laura Lilly for DTH/BRANDON SMITH Coach Pat Summitt will lead the storied Tennessee women's basketball program against UNC tonight in a matchup with her friend Sylvia Hatchell. CORRECTION Due to a reporting error, the Monday front-page article, “Class sections subject to cuts,” states that tenure-faculty teach an average of 10.4 credit hours per semester.

Of the nominations up for consider ation, Ihnat’s has the slimmest chance of making it through. Last week it came to light that Honor Court leaders held an election to decide which candidate for Honor Court chair man to recommend to the search commit tee —a practice with precedent. Leaders opted to recommend Ihnat, and the other candidate withdrew, said depart ing Court Chairman John Deans. But Congress’ rules and judiciary com mittee, which reviewed the nominations last week, took issue with the internal process, seeing it as an infringement on Congress’ oversight of nominations.

It’s a resume Sylvia Hatchell can only dream of. It also will be the one staring her down from the opposing bench tonight, when top-seeded North Carolina faces No. 2 seed Tennessee, led by the winningest coach in Division-I bas ketball history Pat Summitt. The teams meet for a trip to Boston and the Final Four at 7 p m. on ESPN at Quicken Loans Arena. Not only will UNC be taking on a Lady Vols squad that many pundits thought should have earned a No. 1 seed, but they will be battling the Titanic-sized legacy earned by Summitt in her 32 seasons at file helm of the program.

Dearmin puts out shortened March Report BY ROBBY MARSHALL STAFF WRITER The final chapter of Student Body President Seth Dearmin’s administration is hot off the press es —and is aimed at being more reader-friendly than those of his predecessors. Students can turn the last pages today when the executive branch releases its annual March Report. The report is the administra tion’s final official word on the yearlong term. “It’s important because it serves as student government’s official historical document each year,” said Matt Calabria, last year’s stu dent body president. Dearmin’s March report which contains 55 pages of student government committee reports is far shorter in length than years past, which have seen copies com prising hundreds of pages. “The long and short is that it’s an easy-to-access report of what student government has been up to,” said Dearmin, who is serv ing his last week in office. Junior James Allred will take the post April 4. The report sums up the highs and lows of the last six months of work the time elapsed since the October Report recounted the administration’s first half-term. Among this year’s most prized accomplishments are the develop ment of SLICE an online cal endar of events work regarding tuition increases and anew non discrimination policy, Dearmin said. The report will be archived with reports from years past and can act as a reference tool and source of issue remains unresolved. Debate for Ihnat’s nomination has been allotted 30 minutes in tonight’s agenda more than any other nominee. Deans will use his regularly scheduled time slot to address the contested process. Farley said he is unsure how Congress will vote on the nominations. “The question will be (tonight) whether members of Congress think it’s a violation —but more importantly how egregious of a violation is it.” Lilly’s and Debnam’s nominations might also face scrutiny after allegations that the selection committee that chose them was not formed in accordance to campus law.

An additional condensed ver sion also is available, which Dearmin said provides an aestheti cally pleasing summary of the most important points. “It’s easy to peruse through and get a lot of information from one place,” he said. The report traditionally has been dense, and it can be a daunt ing one to tackle. “No one expects every average student to read it,” Calabria said. Two hundred fifty copies of Dearmin’s version will be available today in the student government office, in Suite 2501 of the Student Union, said Neepa Mehta, student body secretary.
