Davis said he thinks the positions were not adequately publicized. “I don’t know if people were really that informed because a lot of the advertising was in informa tional e-mails,” he said. “I don’t think a lot of graduate or medical students really check their Web mail, and we’re also so busy.” Ingalls said scheduling conflicts don’t end on election day. “We meet on Thesday nights, and a lot of graduate students find that they don’t have time on Tuesday,” he said. “I can’t think of a way to be effective without having undergrad uates and grad students together.” Clothing, Books SC Music, House SC Kitchen, Gifts | rßuy one item of clothing, get one item of equal or lesser value free with this ad!

Lusk, who ran for GPSF president and served on Student Congress for two years as an undergraduate and one semester as a graduate student, said the federation hasn’t made graduate student representation a priority. “Occasionally they would sort of half-heartedly get people on there,” he said. “Once in awhile one of them would stick around, but there hasn’t really been a concerted effort.” Lusk won a Congress seat in the Oct. 17 election, but didn’t accept because of time limitations. Ingalls noted that open gradu ate seats in Congress can decrease funding for graduate programs. “When they’re not in their seats, the undergraduates decide every thing,” he said. “When they’re not (Mjp Baily (Ear MM SUPREME COURT FROM PAGE 3 “I agree with the fact that (the court) made the right call, so far as the basis for the code,” said Jim Brewer, chairman of the Board of Elections. He said the board’s mission is to ensure that every candidate has an equal chance of winning, and he felt mid-election rule changes jeopardized that. Congress Speaker Luke Farley said he doesn’t think the law pres ents a conflict of interest. “In the end, it’s no different from any other law policy that Congress crafts,” he said. “Everything we do affects everyone, including sitting members of Congress.” Farley said Congress needs to change campaign laws to reflect technological advances, especially those as widely used as Facebook. “We want as many people to be reached by candidates as pos sible.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. being represented, all the money goes to the undergraduates.” To remedy this disparity, Student Body President James Allred said he thinks Congress must reduce barri ers for potential graduate members. “I think there’s been this attitude that if they want to do it, they’ll come, but I think that’s the wrong attitude,” he said. Anderson said she thinks all of the branches need to reach out more. “I think at any time you’ve got a pretty decent amount of (graduate student) apathy,” Anderson said. “It’s also not really understanding what GPSF does. Congress needs to explain it, and GPSF needs to do the same thing.” But GPSF Treasurer Adam Yoculan said he thinks graduate students are aware of the organi zation’s financial resources. “I think they do from the stand point that we gave out all the money we had last year,” he said. “It could be possible that if more groups knew about it, there could be more demand. And more groups could be funded if we had more money.” Despite a lack of graduate student participation, Anderson said she still believes graduate students care. “They care, you just have to make it easy enough for them to participate,” she said.
