Shr Daily {Tar Hrrl Spurlock looks ahead to tuition remission BY KELLEN MOORE STAfF WRITER Cindy Spurlock couldn't attend the official announcement naming her president of the Graduate and Professional Student Federation. An early meeting Wednesday to discuss her dissertation —and whether she could become an official doctoral candidate kept the sole candidate in the GPSF president race from attending Tuesday night. “I would have loved to have been there tonight,' said Spurlock, a communications doctoral student. “I see this as the first step forward of many. It's a little relieving to have the pressure of the election calendar off, but on the other hand, there's a w hole new set of obligations.' • Spurlock, who garnered 319 votes, said one of the first obliga tions she’ll have is to tackle the SENIOR CLASS FROM PAGE 1 could have done," Moss said. “We l<x)k forward to working with Pinar and James. W'e think they're going to do a good job." Criscoe and Compton said it is still too early to say whether they will apply to be marshals. Compton said she will continue to work with next year's senior class officers through her involvement with the General Alumni Association. Shelly said the secret to their suc cess was that they used the last day of campaigning to reach students at bus stops instead of only the Pit. “The first thing we re going to do is celebrate with the guys and gals of our team because this was truly a team effort," Shelly said. Shelly and Gurel's plans include many social activities, such as the popular senior bar night and anew murder mystery night. “The first thing we’ll want to do is increase communication with next year's seniors," Gurel said. “And we want to assemble a great group of senior marshals." In their platform the pair also stressed the importance of finding an appealing Commencement speaker. Additionally Shelly and Gurel want to help seniors leave their mark by reinstating a physical senior gift, as well as a monetary donation to a student organization or charity. RAYNOR FROM PAGE 1 with the other officials elected Tuesday night, including Carolina Athletic Association President elect Andrew Coonin, and future senior class officers Janies Shelly and Pinar Gurel. After she assembles her admin istration, Raynor said her first goal in office will be to get involved in the process of selecting and work ing with the new chancellor. “I want to get my'hands into the chancellor process," she said. “The first voice he listens to should be ours." Her other major platform points include creating a greater sense of community for students and hold ROBERTSON FROM PAGE 1 from voting, the interpretation of the Code this year by Capriglione allows Duke students to vote. “1 would argue that the interpre tation in this ease is definitely one of the chief reasons that the board has authority," said J ini Brewer, last year's elections board chairman. Duke Student Government, which oversees elections, also has broached the topic of dual-regis tered students influencing results. “We didn't really have a way to enforce (UNC Robertson Scholars) from not voting," said Paul Slattery, president of DSG. “The likelihood of them voting... was so small that we MTV SPRING BREAK Panama City Beach 800-488-8828 www.sandpiperbeacon.com Free Spring Break # Model Search Calendar * Valid for first 1000 reservations. £ the blake tedder show.

They earned 52 percent of the vote. Shelly said he hopes that he and Gurel can incorporate Criscoe, Compton, Barber and Moss into their efforts. “There were three great pairs of candidates, and we hope they can help as much as they can." he said. Barber and Moss said they want to discuss some of their platform ideas with Shelly and Gurel. “We plan to talk to them about networking nights and job inter view tips," Moss said. Shelly and (lurcl officially decided to run in October, sitting on the back deck of a fraternity. Shelly said. The pair said its biggest weak ness will be having less experience ing professors accountable for their teaching. The results of the election are pending review of the financial statements of all candidates by the elections board. The campaign season ran smoothly this year with few viola tions by the candidates, save a $3 fine levied on Hill for improperly formatted A-frames. Liles said that he was disappoint ed with the results but that he plans to work with Raynor's administra tion to achieve some of his own plat form goals, though he said “things are up in the air" as far as exactly what he will do next year. “We're going to give J.J. all the support we can," Liles said. He said he would like to see the didn't do anything about it" Brewer likened Robertsons to online students, who aren't on cam pus and don’t pay fees, yet can vote. “They have been here, they have a stake in Carolina, and they are going to be an alumni," he said. Brew er also said the board should investigate the possibility of includ ing a qualification like the one that keeps off-campus students from vot ing for Residence Hall Association president that would only allow Robertsons who are on campus or will be next semester to vote. And Capriglione said it is a mat ter the board will investigate. Contact the Unii'ersity Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Spurlock said she will gain per spective from Lauren Anderson, who has been president since 2006. “Lauren leaves really big shoes to fill," Spurlock said. ‘She has done an extraordinary job of creating lasting relationships* Spurlock said her weakness is trying to take on too many tasks at once, an issue she’ll try to avoid by delegating tasks to others. “I love to be involved and to volunteer," she said. “Sometimes I don’t know when to say no."
