LegisMioe ctolkeses v&Mditty off Stadleet CoogFess toils

A Student Congress representa
tive has introduced legislation to
nullify all bills passed by the 68th
congress Wednesday because the
Student Constitution states that the
old congress members may serve
only until their successors are
elected.
Since the 69th congress had
already been elected Wednesday
when the 68th congress passed three
bills, Guy Lucas (Dist. 19) said
Monday that the bills are invalid.
Lucas' proposed legislation
involves a clause in the Student
Constitution that states that congress

Elizabeth Steelman and Tracy
Lindsey were nervous Monday
afternoon. Concerned about their
chances of getting back into
Spencer Residence Hall, they
waited for their names to be
pulled from the revolving barrel
in Spencer's lobby.
"Our chances are somewhere
around 86 percent, but that
doesn't help any, because I'm still
nervous," Steelman, a sopho

Police tighten security
at Smith Center concert
By HOLLY BAKER
Staff Writer
Chapel Hill police arrested 1 1
people, and Alcohol Law Enforce
ment officials cited another 22
people for drug and alcohol posses
sion charges at the Genesis concert
in the Smith Center Sunday night.
Charges included underage pos
session of alcohol, possession and
consumption of mixed alcoholic
beverages in an unauthorized area,
possession of less than one ounce of
marijuana and possession of drug'
paraphernalia with intent for use.
"We don't want the SAC to get
a reputation of being a place to do
drugs and drink," said Chapel Hill,
Interim Police Chief Arnold Gold.
Lots of sex
members "shall serve one year and
until their successor is elected."
"The issue is that there was an
illegal congress," Lucas said Mon
day. "Only one (congress) had the
authority (to pass bills)."
The three bills proposed by Lucas
would:
invalidate bills passed by the
68th congress Wednesday during its
last meeting.
change the section of the Stu
dent Constitution that reads "until
the successor is elected" to read "until
the successor is inaugurated."
add a clause to the Student
Constitution preventing an inaugu
rated student body president from
UNC. "So far I've been lucky
all three years," she said.
Monday's annual housing lot
tery drew mixed reactions from
its participants, but most students
agreed: the lottery system may be
fair, but they don't like it.
"I think the system's good, but
I just don't like it," said Derhonda
Thomas, a junior who was suc
cessful in Spencer's lottery. "It's
too stressful. I don't like stress."
Anne Presnell, area director for
Cobb and Joyner residence halls,
said this is the most difficult time
of the year for most residents.
Freshman Karin Heath agreed.
"It's scary," she said. "You know
it's coming, and all you can do
"It is a place for entertainment and
good clean fun."
At least 40 officers were on duty
at the concert, he said, with 25 to
ensure security and 15 to direct
traffic.
In general, the Sunday night
crowd was well behaved, said Steve
Camp, Smith Center director.
"Out of 2 1 ,000 people, the number
of arrests and citations is low," Camp
said. "We put a special emphasis on
secutity Sunday night and will do
the same Monday. If anyone does
something illegal, they can expect to
pay the consequences."

serving on an inaugurated congress.
The 68th congress passed bills
after their successors had been
inaugurated because it needed to
finish old business, Jaye Sitton,
speaker of the 68th congress, said
Monday.
"Obviously there's some room for
interpretation in the constitution,"
she said. "Transition (to a new
congress) is difficult without (the old)
student congress."
The word "election" needs to be
more clearly defined in the consti
tutional clause, Sitton said. "The
constitution can and has been
interpreted to mean different things
to different people.
is sit there and wonder."
Students should check out
alternatives, Presnell said. Stu
dents who are unsuccessful in the
lottery can rent an apartment, live
in Granville Towers or place their
names on a waiting list so they
can be assigned rooms as space
becomes available, she said.
And students should also be
aware of the appeal process of the
University Housing department,
said Vernon Wall, area director
for Hinton James Residence Hall.
If students who must live on
campus for financial or other
reasons are closed out of their
residence halls, they should con
sult their area directors, he said.
Boemell leads women past Buke, 83-67
By MIKE BERARDINO
Staff Writer
DURHAM In a game that
featured enough solid contact to
pass for hockey and enough
knockdowns to pass for "Rocky,"
the elbow Duke's Sarah Sullivan
planted in Liza Donnell's face
early in the second half had the
biggest impact. .
The shot angered UNC's feisty
backup point guard, and Donnell
responded by scoring 13 of her
game-high 19 points in the final
20 minutes to lead the Tar Heels
to an 83-67 women's basketball
win Monday night in Cameron
Indoor Stadium.
"I don't think it was inten

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
"To be safe, I think the new
congress should pass the (68th
congress') bills and then establish
better transition procedures in the
constitution and by-laws," she said.
The tradition of allowing the out
going congress to finish old business
is also responsible for the confusion,
Rob Friedman (Dist. 16), speaker of
the 69th congress, said Monday:
"It's been done every single year,"
he said. "The old congress finishes
any old business that it has pending.
We (the 68th congress) would have
gotten it done earlier if we thought
it was necessary."
But Friedman said following the
constitution is more important than
But while the lottery causes
anxious moments, most students
agree that the system is fair: "As
much as I don't like it, this is
probably the fairest way to do it,"
Steelman said.
But some students said the
Department of University Hous
ing should provide more stability
for on-campus residents.
"I don't think it's fair at all,"
said Laura Morgan, a sophomore
who was closed out of Alderman
Residence Hall. "I think they
could do it far better. 1 don't see
how they can shake us up like
they do. As much as we pay them,
they could give us a little more
security in our housing."
and she acted like, '1 did it, and
so what,' " said the 5-5 Donnell
of Sullivan, who stands 6-3. "It
hurt me. I felt like punching her
in the face, but instead I said I
was going to take it right at her
and foul her out."
Donnell couldn't foul Sullivan
out, but she certainly hurt Duke.
With 4:29 left, Carolyn Sonzogni
hit a jumper to pull the Blue
Devils within four at 61-57. But
it was all UNC and Donnell from
there on in.
A crowd of 4,872 turned out
for the game, with all proceeds
going to the Ronald McDonald
houses of Durham and Chapel
Hill. That figure fell well short
of the target 6,800, the state
following tradition. "I would
imagine that everything we (the 68th
congress) did (Wednesday) is non
binding," he said.
Jody Beasley (Dist. 16), finance
officer of the 68th congress, dis
agreed. Since "elected" is not clearly
defined in the constitution, he said,
the congress' action Wednesday is
still valid.
"It's not obvious what (the clause)
means, but it's obvious what it says,"
Beasley said. "I think it means (old
congress members can serve) until
the new congress is in place, and 1
think that means until the old
congress is done."
A literal interpretation of the
CGLA
Qppos(oi py
By JO FLEISCHER
Assistant University Editor
In a letter sent to Chancellor
Christopher Fordham Monday, a
group of concerned students threa
tened to stop paying student fees if
any portion of their money continues
to be given to the Carolina Gay and
Lesbian Association.
The letter, signed by eight UNC
students, said the CGLA promotes
a lifestyle "which is to us as Chris
tians ... both perverted and
immoral."
"For this reason," the letter
continued, "we are requesting an
immediate and full refund of this
year's Student Activities Fees." The
letter also said the signers will refuse
to pay student fees in the future until
they are assured their money won't
go to the CGLA.
Keith Poston, who signed the
letter, said the group which does
not yet have a name is taking its
stand on moral grounds. As born
again Christians, the signers object
to homosexuality, he said.
The CGLA, Poston said, is unlike
other student organizations because
"it smacks people's religion in the
face." The group also promotes
behavior which is illegal under North
Carolina's sodomy law, he said.
Fordham could not be reached for
comment Monday. Donald Boultbn,
vice chancellor and dean of student
affairs, said he would not comment
on the letter until he had spoken with
Fordham.
CGLA Co-Chairperson Greg
Johnson said Monday night that he
didn't see the letter as a threat.
"Fordham hasn't come out for or
against us," Johnson said. "This is
obviously not going to work."
- Sam Barnard, University cashier,
said students are required by the
UNC System's Board of Governors
to pay student fees before they can
pre-register for classes. In the past,
students have refused to pay student
fees on moral or political grounds,
but all of them relented rather than

UNC, which wrapped up the

at 18-8 overall and 9-5 in the
conference. Duke, seeded fourth,
dropped to 18-8 and 7-7.
Three times in the final min
utes, Donnell drove coast-to-coast

to score. The first of those mad
dashes came on the ensuing

shot and sparked a 9-4 UNC run.

"elected" clause could have negative
results for the student body, Beasley
said. "Does that mean that if some
one in my district isn't elected, I serve
until someone else is elected? That's
ridiculous."
Lucas said the definition of
"elected" is irrelevant.
"The most extreme definition of
'elected' would be official results," he
said. "The new congress members
were legally elected. The constitution
itself is the problem. Another prob
lem is that the Student Congress
didn't follow the constitution."

said.
Rick Spargo, another student who
signed the letter, said he has tried
to defund the CGLA for the past
three years with no success. He said
the letter is another way to make his
voice heard. "WeVe exhausted our
efforts with the Student Congress
now we're going to go above them."
Poston said he wants a "pretty
good justification" from UNC's
administration before he drops his
protest. When asked if the signers
would withdraw from the University
if administrators don't address the
issue to their satisfaction, he said,
"Well cross that bridge when we
come to it."
The students will take the issue to
higher and higher levels, including
Gov. Jim Martin's office and the
court system, until their complaints
have been adequately addressed,
Poston said.
Copies of the letter were also sent
to UNC-system President CD.
Spangler and Bobo S. Tanner,
chairman of the UNC Board of
Trustees.
"I want them (UNC administra
tors) to refund our student fees or
start some policy," Poston said. "If
they let us down, we'll go see CD.
Spangler or Governor Martin."
Rob Friedman. Student Congress
speaker, said he is concerned that
the group is giving up on their
congress representatives. If admin
istrators agree with the letter's
signers, they may endanger the
congress' role in distributing student
fees to campus organizations, Fried
man said.
Barnard compared the situation to
the problem that arises when people
refuse to pay their taxes on moral
grounds. The student legislature is
the appropriate place to take student
concerns, just as the U.S. Congress
is the appropriate place to take tax
concerns without risking arrest, he
said.
Spargo said the students' ultimate

every aspect of the game."
Two other points of note were
UNC's bench scoring and second
half shooting. Donnell was the
difference as the Tar Heel reserves
outscored Duke's pine crew, 38
1 8. Chryss Watts, one of the UNC
subs, went 5-for-6 from the field
as North Carolina reversed a 33
percent first-half showing by
nailing an unbelievable 79 percent
from the floor after the break.
"That's been the story of our
team all year," UNC coach Sylvia
Rhyne Hatchell said. "We got
great play from our bench. We
have eight, and maybe nine.
