4 TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2007 Service reigns in Homecoming BY ELISABETH GILBERT STAFF WRITER Naite Alexander is proof that Homecoming royalty are more than just pretty faces. Alexander last year’s Homecoming king started the Equality, Diversity, Unity, Community and Teenage Education program, which brought 60 to 70 high school students to UNC to pique interest in higher education. “The service does help because Carolina is very service-oriented,” Alexander said. “Every little project makes a difference somewhere.” While the impact this year’s king and queen will have has yet to be seen, the three candidates vying for the crowns said they are flesh ing out their projects. “To be quite honest... I just have a vague idea,” said Bert Ellison, this year’s sole candidate for king. He said he does not have a timeline for vol unteers to start teaching kids about nutrition and fitness as part of his B- Happy, B-Healthy, B-ert program.

THE UNIVERSITY | of NORTH CAROLINA j at CHAPEL HILL He said a friend works at an area school and has talked to teachers there about his idea. Ellison also has discussed the idea with his boss at the Student Recreation Center. Queen candidate Meredith Jones’ project, “Read to Succeed,” would send UNC students to read books at local elementary schools. Jones said she has identified five potential partner schools. But the candidates said they are having trouble finalizing their plans without having all the facts. “It’s kind of hard right now not knowing how much support we’re going to get,” Jones said. “A budget? A committee? We don’t know.” Alexander said that although the Carolina Athletic Association gave him campaign funds, he received no other money from the University. EDUCATE’s funding came from Upward Bound, a program that helps prepare high school students for col lege, and other outside resources. “We’re doing footwork on our own,” candidate Angela Crocker said of her service project host ing a series of concerts to support the Amani Children’s Foundation, which aids orphans in Kenya. She said she already has begun looking at local venues and is trying to get groups to perform. Her Homecoming initiative ties in with a project she started as Miss BSM, raising $3,400 to send a Black Student Movement member on a two-week service trip to Kenya. “Regardless of whether I’m elected or not, I’m going to do both,” Crocker said. But she said she didn’t want to say anything yet about possible venues or acts. Students can vote between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Tuesday on Student Central or at one of the eight poll ing sites around campus. The ballot also will include a ref erendum to amend the Student Code to require the student body to vote on increases for four student fees. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Dison said that while some gay officials, work actively for equal rights, others show their colleagues that they are not the stereotype. “Being out is perhaps the most powerful statement that anyone can make because it forces people to look at you for who you are,” he said. “It changes hearts and minds.” Herzenberg encouraged Kleinschmidt to run for town council, and it became a ritual for interested candidates to speak to Herzenberg before filing. “He is a model which I try to emulate,” Kleinschmidt said. “I think that’s true for most every politician in Chapel Hill, straight or gay.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
