Saily ®ar Uppl National and World News Obama appoints health secretary WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a veteran of Capitol Hill and the Clinton administration’s failed health care reform effort, will be President-elect Barack Obama’s pick for secretary of health and human services, an anonymous Democratic official knowledge able about the decision con firmed Wednesday. Daschle has advocated cre ating a national board to over see health care, similar to how the Federal Reserve regulates finance. Recount begins for Minn. Senate MINNESOTA (MCT) - The contentious fight for a U.S. Senate seat between incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democratic challenger A1 Franken inched into the recount phase Wednesday as election workers across Minnesota start ed retabulating more than 2.9 million ballots —one by one. The recount is under way at more than 100 sites. It is required under state law because the margin between Coleman and Franken was less than 0.5 percent. Coleman’s 215-vote lead heading into the recount trans lates to 0.008 percent. DECORATIONS FROM PAGE 3 will continue to provide a seasonal event in Wilson Library on Dec. 11 that will include the telling of winter-themed folktales. Davis Library has also displayed a Christmas tree in their front lobby in past years. And while this is the first year libraries on campus will not display Christmas trees, some officials think this new policy will continue. “This is the correct decision for our libraries at this point,” Pantich said. “We know that other libraries at public institutions elsewhere have made the same decision.” Student Stores, however, will continue to decorate its facilities for the holidays. “We don’t really think of our selves as having a Christmas dis play,” said John Jones, director of PHILLIPS FROM PAGE 3 are really the only new additions.” He wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning to pick up a newspaper and grab one for a worker at the Agora, and then keeps busy taking informal classes and attending local events and lectures for the.rest of the day. Mcabee said Phillips does some thing every night. “He actually makes me feel bad about being a student,” she said. Phillips loves concerts —one of his first steps this semester was picking up a music department event calendar. He took two weeks off in September to go on a classical music cruise. “I don’t read a note and I don’t play Up lailij ®ar Brel A\ “Wear Your Sunday Worst” jj[ Sunday Worship Celebrations... 10:55am • Informal, Faithful Atmusfthere ' •Aitu e program lo Jeed the hungry • Lots of parking Aldersgate United Methodist Church 919-968-6231 M 632 Laurel Hill Rd., Chapel Hill, NC 27514 1 f| The Church Ok/ Good \A/ Shepherd \/ Sunday Services: 9:3oam &11am College Flock Bible Study: 9:3oam www.cgsonline.org Worshiping the Shepherd with simple, foyfut reverence Feeding the flock with intelligent. disciplined love Seeking the lost with thoughtful, bold sensitivity First Pentecostal Church D*y* Inn, 1312 Furdhamßlvd. - Home of Old Time Religion " Worship with us each Wednesday 7:30 PM Special Musu A Singing in each unite The Pint Ptowwul < Tmn* l Chapel Hill a m exmUcrn of the Firxt Pmmcomd Charrh of Durham.

They see too many signs of a long-term American commit ment to believe that the U.S. will withdraw on the timetable in the so-called status of forces agreement. Iraqi leaders, how ever, say that the agreement will end the U.S. occupation of their country that began in March 2003. The agreement is now before Stevens concedes U.S. Senate race ANCHORAGE, Alaska (MCT) Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, conceded the election for U.S. Senate to Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich on Wednesday, ending his 40 years as the dominant force in Alaska politics as the longest serving Republican senator. A week before the election, a Washington, D.C., jury convict ed the Stevens of seven felonies for lying on his financial dis closure forms about more than $250,000 in gifts. Begich, 46, claimed victory Hiesday after the latest count of absentee and questioned ballots widened his lead to 3,724 votes. Student Stores. Jones said that the current display in the windows facing South Road which features a sleigh, presents and fake snow is meant to represent the winter season. “Everything we do is to highlight merchandise,” Jones said. “Student Stores lives and dies depending on customer purchases, so we try to offend no one.” Student Stores also does displays for Black History Month, seasonal sports, back-to-school and other special events. Similar concerns also have affect ed the annual Star of Bethlehem show at the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center. The show premiered in 1949 and it is the longest-running plan etarium show in the world. “The important thing for people to understand is that this show does not focus on religion, it focuses on science,” said Karen Komegay, mar it, but I love the sound,” he said. He spends the rest of his time visiting museums, reading library books and sampling restaurants. Living at Granville with hun dreds of college students has been pleasant, he said. “I have my room and I don’t have to do any cleaning,” he said. “I don’t have to go to the grocery store or buy dishes and wash them.” Phillips flies back to Honolulu Dec. 12 and has mixed feelings about his departure. “It’s been a very enjoyable semes ter,” he said. “I could probably live here for the rest of my life but my trousers are getting a little tight.” Contact the Features Editor atfeatures@unc.edu.

Other parties want to amend the pact, although Iraqi law pro hibits that. The Iraqi Cabinet approved the agreement Sunday, and that made the agreement a final treaty between two states. Parliament can approve or reject it, but lawmakers can’t modify it. Palin receives new ethics complaint ANCHORAGE, Alaska (MCT) As former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin settles back into her job as the Alaskan governor, anew eth ics complaint filed Tuesday says she’s already improperly mixing her official duties and broader political ambitions. The charge is that Palin broke state ethics rules by holding national television interviews about her run for vice president from the governor’s office. The charge cited the Nov. 10 inter view with Fox News Channel, which occurred after she was out of the race. “Student Stores lives and dies depending on customer purchases, so we try to offend no one.” JOHN JONES, STUDENT STORESDIRECTOR keting manager of the Planetarium and Science Center.

During the meeting, UNC offi cials presented the school’s formal submission to the town for plans on Carolina North, including a pro posed development agreement. Carolina North is the University’s proposed satellite research campus. Chapel Hill resident Will Raymond said he was disappointed with the turnout for the meeting, which was planned to give the pub lic an opportunity to express con cerns about development plans. Raymond strongly encouraged all who were present to involve as many of their neighbors and friends as they could in future discussion. He called on all Chapel Hill resi dents to “wake up, and show up.” In the event intended to draw in public interest, Carolina North Executive Director Jack Evans presented detailed development plans for the 250-acre research campus. Evans said the plans satisfy a series of criteria the school devel oped related to water management, energy, transportation and parking SYSTEM SAFETY FROM PAGE 3 psychological services. Funding for security technology is next in importance, Herron said. Campuses systemwide are working on developing ways to assess and subdue threats. UNC-Greensboro police Chief James Herring said his school is investing in counseling services and installing PA systems in class rooms and dorms, but he is worried that the tight budget will affect the quality of their operations. “Right now we’re sort of in limbo,” Herring said. “Will public safety be exempt from budget cuts? I just don’t know." The UNC-system schools will not receive equal safety funding, said Jeff McCracken, director of public safety at UNC-Chapel Hill. UNC-CH will likely receive less than its neighboring universities. 8 DON’T MISS THIS WEEKEND’S 8 I UNION FREE MOVIES I •* * Admission with UNC Student One Card• • B HI Friday.

Several groups provided input for the plans, includ-.g the Horace Williams citizens committee, the leadership advisory committee, the design team of Ayers/Saint/Gross and University planners. David Owens of the UNC School of Government helped the town craft a development review pro cess, and during the meeting, he justified the vagueness of the pro posed development plan. “We like to start with a more general plan in the earlier stage, which may be frustrating because there isn’t a complete plan now,” he said. “Starting with more prelimi nary plans with built-in stages will help to create a more deliberate and defined proposal.” The first phase of development includes the Innovation Center, which will serve as a business incu bator linking UNC to the private sector for their research mission, and the new law school buildings. These buildings will be developed on the southeastern portion of the Carolina North property, the region deemed most supportive of growth by Biohabitats Inc., a firm hired by UNC to do an ecological survey. Evans said all of the land in the current phase of development planning lies in Chapel Hill. “Different schools have request ed different things and will receive different amounts,” McCracken said, explaining that they didn’t ask for any additional funds for the next fiscal year. He said they didn’t ask for more money because they were already up to par on safety standards. “Do I think safety’s the number one expenditure because there’s a problem with safety? No,” he said. “Do I think it’s number one because it should always be a con cern on the back of our minds? Yes.” Herron said recent events have put safety in the spotlight, but it has always been a top priority and will remain so. “I’ll be honest with you. I think safety should be the number one issue on the budget. For now and for the future.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. — Pwe started with a crazy idMidrj H we want our lives ■ to b defined by. . . faith love hope j college encounter comunj/urv ©the chapel tvil bibie ctx. %h.

The Town Council will vote on final zoning plans and map amendments in late June. Meeting attendees asked the group how their comments would be compiled and how they would affect discussions about Carolina North’s future. Comments and questions will be responded to on the town’s Web site and in a handout. Evans said he believes the plan already has benefited in many ways from previous public discussion. He reiterated that since the school is now in serious talks with the town to move forward, the time for resident input is now. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Sarah Lindh, a senator who supported the resolution, said she thought it was well-researched and well-written. “I think this was " perfect example of the legisiat.. ocess in action,” she said. Atkins, however, said she felt misrepresented by the senators. “I was disappointed that they were elected,” she said. “They voted against the stu dents.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
