Qfyr SaUii (Ear iirrl Criscoe and Compton tout preparation, practicality The senior class president candidates, part 1 of 3 | } Josh Criscoe Senior class president candidate BY MATTHEW PRICE STAFF WRITER For Josh Criscoe and Megan Compton, being a UNC senior shares something in common with being a senior in high school— the chance to be back at the top of the social and academic food chain. So last August the two candidates, who have known one another since their junior year in high school, decided to run as senior class officers. They stress their long preparation period and the importance of practical ideas as the keys to improving the senior experience. “The biggest thing about our campaign that we like to stress is the amount of preparation that we've gone through," said Criscoe, a Wilmington native. “Every single thing on our platform is fea sible and can happen. It's not just empty prom ises." Their platform planks are organized into four main elements: privileges and perks, retrospec tion, philanthropy and career preparation. The theme is getting “back to the core" of senior year. “The student body president is focused on long-term changes, but we’re only focused on next year and how to make it the best year for the senior class," Compton said. “Our long-term goals are to help people get things accomplished in the future.’ Compton, of Lexington, said her experience as the chairwoman of the membership board for the General Alumni Association has prepared her to plan activities and establish contacts for career preparation events such as networking nights or etiquette dinners.

Senior Sarah Schuyler, Campus Y co-presi dent, said Criscoe’s strengths revolve around working his ideas into reality. “Josh's signature is how he puts his resourc es to good use," Schuyler said. “We had a lot of fun and new opportunities this year because he decided to look into things further." The pair also wants to see more emphasis on the group participation aspect of the senior ser vice project. Criscoe said that a revamped Web site and an increased Pit presence are crucial for providing information to busy seniors, who might other wise be apathetic to a service project. Overall, Criscoe and Compton said they hope their months of thought and planning will convince next vear's seniors that their ideas are feasible. On their Web site, they list more than 15 University and community officials they have consulted during their campaign. Criscoe said the extensive preparation works toward having the best possible senior year. “It’s just like in high school, where seniors were the top of the school and came into pep ral lies yelling and everyone respected the seniors," he said. “We want to bring that stuff back."

Feb. 7 Great HaU Student Union www.dailytarheel.com/classifieds Uncontested candidate promotes RHA’s role BY KELLEN MOORE STAFF WRITER It’s another uncontested race for president of the Residence Hall Association this year. So instead of promoting his own name or specific platform points. Michael Miller says he wants to get the word out about the often overlooked student group. This marks the fifth straight year that the position has been uncontest ed. And last January then-President William Thompson resigned mid year after deciding to study abroad. “I’d like RHAs name to be more recognized on campus." Miller said, adding that he thinks students are unaware of the group’s purpose. RHA seeks to represent student housing concerns, host social, edu cational and service programs and provide enhancements such as DVDs and cooking utensils for resi dents of the 14 UNC communities. “We're trying to make the on campus life more of a home for the students," Miller said, putting it simply.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 2008 “It seems like the RHA, at the moment, is just a collection of resi dence halls," he said. “If the com munity- governors were to pool their resources and ideas, they’d have much more exciting programs and pull in the student body." Although he doesn't have a con crete platform, Miller said he'll put his ideas and notes together and post them online in the next few days. Some of Miller's specific program ming plans include a speaker series and more service-oriented projects. He also said he wants to continue some of current RHA President Brian Sugg's initiatives, such as replacing VHS tapes with DVDs and updating the computer system that records enhancement checkouts. With possible changes on the horizon. Miller said RHAs basic goal is to change students' ideas about on-campus living at UNC. “I absolutely love Carolina," Miller said. “I really feel that this campus is what separates us from other university experiences."
