Meet the candidates for coogress
Campus Police Roundup
Students can vote today to elect
representatives to fill 12 vacant
Student Congress seats in 1 1 districts.
jThere are no official candidates for
three of the vacancies, but they may
be filled through write-in votes.
'Representatives elected today will
serve for the rest of the term of the
70th Congress.
The candidates for these positions
are as follows:
District 5
Chandrasekhar Ramanathan, a
first-year graduate student from India
in bio-medical engineering, is running
as a representative of District 5,
including graduate students in anat
omy, biochemistry, microbiology and
pharmacology.
Student Congress makes many
decisions that affect graduate stu
dents, he said, and he is familiar with
graduate students' needs.
"They need a voice and I would
like to be that voice," Ramanathan
said.
District 6
Adam Wilson, a fourth-year med
ical student from Winston-Salem, is
a congress candidate for District 6,
which includes graduate students in
medicine and nursing.
Wilson said he wants to get input
from the congress concerning the
Student Health Action Clinic
(SHAQ, a community health clinic
in Carrboro.
Even though he would represent
a graduate district, Wilson said he
could handle the concerns of the
entire student population.
District8
Sonia Abecassis, a first-year grad
uate student from Paris, is running
for a congress seat in District 8,
representing graduate students in
languages, philosophy and religious
studies.
Abecassis said she wanted to work
on the behalf of the romance lan
guages department. She also said she
wants to learn about the American
system of government through the
congress.
District 11
Danielle Adams, a freshman from
Greenville, is a candidate for the seat
in District 11, which includes STOW
Residence College. .
Congress members should solicit
student opinion and act on student
interests, she said.
Td like to be in a position where
(students) can come to me and tell
me what they want Student Congress
to do and hopefully I can see it gets
done," she said.
District 14
Caroline Pham and John Lindsay
are the candidates for a vacant seat
in District 14, which includes resi
dence halls inScott Residence
College..
Pham, a junior political science
Campus watch
whether they supported CGLA fund
ing. "We have had a very strong
positive response" from the legisla
tors, Cottingham said.
He would not disclose the number
of legislators who had responded nor
the number of legislators on either
side of the issue.
'If the legislature were to try and
change the Student Constitution,
which outlines the appropriation of
student fees, the University would be
in -danger of losing its accreditation,
said UNC law professor Daniel
Pollitt. "The standard for being
accredited is to run your own internal
affairs," said Pollitt.
Pollitt cited the speaker ban law
passed in 1963 by the General Assem
bly as an example. This law subjected
speakers invited to speak by the
University to legislative approval. It
was eventually declared unconstitu
tional, but not before the Southern
Association of Universities and
Colleges threatened to withdraw
UNC's accreditation.
Cottingham said Campus Watch
would probably not be operating
through the state legislators on other
issues, such as the trial of the CIA
Action Committee protesters. He said
the group would try to encourage
students to have a "fiercely protective
attitude towards their academic
freedom."
The main focus of Campus Watch
now is the controversial funding of
the CGLA with student activities fees.
"It (funding the CGLA) is illegal

SERA-TEC BI0L0GICALS
1091 EAST FRANKLIN ST. (ABOVE RITE-AID) 942-0251
major from Fayetteville, said she
wants to see a greater emphasis on
security in the , district. The armed
robbery of two students last month
led Pham to realize the need for more
awareness concerning security, she
said.
Pham said she would schedule
meetings with leaders of residence
hall governments to discuss their
ideas on issues before the congress.
She also said she would distribute
newsletters to inform students in the
district about the congress.
Lindsay said the congress should
take a more focused role in student
activities. Many students are not
aware of the congress responsibili
ties, he said.
The congress should address
important concerns, like tuition and
campus security, more often, he said.
District 15
The congress candidates for Dis
trict IS, which includes Ehringhaus
Residence Hall, are Alan Davidson,
Jason Kelly and John Lomax.
Kelly, a freshman biology major
from Washington, D.C., said he
wants to bring a new attitude to
congress. He said he would combat
student apathy by increasing stu
dents' awareness of issues that affect
them.
Lomax, a sophomore business
administration major from Hickory,
said he wants to address specific .
issues, like developing a SAFE escort
program for South Campus residents
and setting up a net to protect cars
parked around Ehringhaus Field
from baseballs.
Lomax said he would also follow
up on getting the cube and bus shelter
for South Campus that were pro
posed last year.
Davidson, a freshman political
science major from Longmeadow,
Mass., said he wants to increase
security on campus by adding lighting
on walkways to South Campus
residence halls and establishing a free
shuttle bus to South Campus..
District 16
Michael Archey, Mark Garrison,
Nick Kontogeorgopoulos, Elizabeth
Mills and Stephen Miss are candi
dates for Student Congress in District
16, which includes Morrison, Craige
and Hinton James residence halls.
Archey, a senior political science
major from Reading, Penn., said he
wants to get South Campus residents
more involved in University
programs.
"I think it's important for the
representative of this district to stand
up for the interests of South Cam
pus," he said.
Garrison, a freshman political
science major from Burlington, said
he would support a minor change in
the funding priorities of the congress.
from page 1
because it's clearly a political organ
ization," Cottingham said. Cot
tingham sees CGLA funding as
"deeply disturbing to traditional
North Carolinians," whom he de
scribed as "people who believe in the
nuclear family, western culture,
patriotism, things like that."
The Campus Watch described the
Student Congress approval of CGLA
funding last spring as a case of
congress members as being under
"intense pressure from politically
aggressive homosexual activists."
According to Campus Watch, the
, CGLA is "able to dominate campus
politics, because it constantly lobbies
and campaigns while most students
are busy studying."
Campus Watch is "real tired of
coercive tactics from the more radical
organizations," said Cottingham.
"There's an attempt from the more
radical-oriented side to shut down the
more traditionally-oriented side," he
said.
Frederic Schroeder, dean of stu
dents, said he disagrees with Cot
tingham's view of campus debate. "I
don't see it that way," Schroeder said.
"If that were to occur in part it is
because one side of the issue may have
chosen not to be heard, he said.

. Td like to see more emphasis
placed on student programs that deal
with environmental and cultural
programs, rather than just political
programs," he said.
Kontogeorgopoulos, a freshman
international studies major from
Toronto, said he would like to work .
with South Campus residence hall
government leaders to improve con
ditions there. Security on campus and
the free South Campus shuttle are
also priorities.
Kontogeorgopoulos said he
attended congress meetings this year,
and the experience will help him
represent South Campus in the
future. .
Mills, a sophomore political
science major from St. Paul, Minn.,
said she would work to improve
South Campus' image to incoming
freshmen. Campus safety and race
relations are also priority issues for
her, she said. .
Miss, a junior economics and
English major from Dobbs Ferry,
N.Y., said working with the budget
and helping different student groups
are among his goals for congress
service.
District 19
Greg Camp, Paige Dembicks, Jill
Gilbert and Rodney Honeycutt are
candidates for the seats in District 19,
which includes all undergraduates
who live southwest of the intersection i
of Franklin and Columbia streets.

Tutorial program offers academic help
By ELLEN THORNTON
Staff Writer
TT TTelp has arrived for students
J who just aren't making A's
JLL jLLin all of their classes.
The new Student Government
Tutorial Program is the only tutorial
of its kind. The program is designed
to meet the needs of students who
are not failing, but want to do
better.
Although tr?e University provides
various types of tutorial assistance
through different departments, only
students performing at less than
passing levels may benefit from
them.
Elson Floyd, faculty adviser for
the program, told the tutors there
has been a general feeling at the
University that the students are of
such quality that little academic
assistance is needed.
But some students, like program
founder Fifi Kashani-Sabet, realized
even the best students need help
sometimes1 J ' '' '
"It was unjustified that a univer
sity of this caliber did not have ade
quate tutoring programs," Kashani
Sabet said. "Our program is
designed to supplement the tutorials
that are offered in order to reach a
greater number of students."
The program supplies student
tutors in 22 competitive, high
enrollment courses to students who
need help, regardless of their grades.
Students may find a tutor in English
1, 2; Statistics 11, 23; Economics 10;
Math 22, 30, 31; Chemistry 11; Biol
ogy 11; and levels one through four
of Spanish, German and French.
"Because of the large class size of
many of the introductory courses, a
lot of people need individual atten
tion," said tutor Sarah Cagle, a
sophomore English major.
Students can expect help from
qualified, dedicated tutors. All of
the tutors have a minimum grade
point average of 3.0 and an average
of at least 3.3 in the subject they are
tutoring.
The education department
requires tutors to attend a seminar
each week to better prepare them
for tutoring.
In addition, the English tutors will
be working closely with the English
department to ensure proper tutorial
assistance.
The tutors receive three hours of
passfail academic credit for their
work in the seminar and with stu

"I am also committed for con
tinued funding for the CGLA," he
said.
Dembicks, a junior East Asian
studies major from Raleigh, said she
wants to voice her concerns about
women's issues, including rape aware
ness and SAFE escort service, to the
congress. :
, Dembicks, a Student Congress
representative at UNC-Charlotte,
said she would also provide more
information about the congress's
activities to off-campus students.
Gilbert, a junior biology major
from New Orleans, said students
should form an effective on-campus
patrol program, and a neighborhood
watch program should be available
off campus.
"My main emphasis would be on
safety," she said.
Honeycutt, a junior education
major from Willow Springs, said he,
wants to improve communication
between the congress and the students
in his district, who are often forgotten
in campus activities because of they
live off campus.
. "Many students are not living in

said. "But they pay their student
activities fees like everyone else and
