; Jenifer Grady
said that as a mem
ber of Student
Congress, she
would raise aware
ness of graduate
issues such as ac
quiring health in
surance and better
pay for graduate
students.
; "There's a need
for graduate
voices," she said. "We need as many
voices as we can get."
; She also said she would like to see
congress support organizations and pub
lications that added diversity to the
University. "I'd like to see congress
follow through on funding and support
for organizations and publications that
add richness to this campus."
Grady, a second-year graduate stu
dent in information and library science,
said she would be a good candidate for
the job because she had contact with
people from all the departments in her
district as well as with undergraduate
students through her work at the Under
graduate Library.

Marc Fusco
Rich Esposito
He said he
wanted to make
sure graduate stu
dents were fairly
represented on
congress because
the congress often
focused too
heavily on under
graduates. "I'm
going to fight these
guys by myself
some of the time,
but we need to at least put the idea into
these guys' heads that they don't repre
sent all the students," he said.
Fusco, a second-year doctoral stu
dent in English, also said he wanted to
fight to continue to fund groups such as
the black cultural center and Bisexuals,
Gay Men, Lesbians and Allies for Di
versity. He said he wanted to work to main
tain the quality of the library.
Rich Esposito
said he wanted to
make sure gradu
ate students were
properly repre
sented on Student
Congress.
A second-year
graduate student in
the Kenan-Flagler
School of Busi
ness, Esposito said
he thought gradu
ate students were unfairly represented
by one part of the Graduate School.
"Currently, there is a disproportion
ate share of representatives from one
graduate school representing all gradu
ate and professional students," he said.
"The congress needs balance."
Esposito also said he planned to look
into getting health care for graduate
students. He said he wanted to improve
the library and supported the Student
Congress proposal that called for stu
dents to choose to set aside money from
student fees for the library.

Khalid X, who also spoke out against
homosexuals, said he was speaking only
to the blacks in the crowd.
"I came to talk to my people," he said
to the whites in the crowd. "You just
happen to be here."
After the rally, Smith said Khalid X
spoke for members of the movement.
"He speaks the truth," Smith said.
"He speaks for us, too."
But other coalition leaders said they
were disturbed by the comments of
Khalid X.
"I had a lot of problems with what he
said," Wilkens said. "But you just have
to take away from it what you want."
In addition to Khalid X, members of
the Fruit of Islam, an arm of Louis
Farrakan's Nation of Islam movement,
were hired as security for the event, said
BSM Minister of Information Charles
McNair.
McNair also distanced the movement
from KhalidX'scomments.calling them
"inflammatory."

reading them after the fact," he said. "I
want students to know what goes on in
congress a lot of people I talked to
didn't even know what congress does."
Skalski, a sophomore from Asheville,
said he would work on improving the
lighting around the practice walls for
the tennis courts near Cobb Residence
Hall as well as improving lighting
around campus and providing more
emergency call boxes.
He also said he supported the black
cultural center and continued funding
for B-GLAD.
Kelly Karras
said she would like
to work on a num
ber of projects in
cluding safety,
improving the
Caroline registra
tion system and
updating the Stu
dent Government
Code.
Karras, a junior
from Raleigh who
previously held office in another dis
trict, said she wanted to continue the
projects she was working on during her
term last year.
"I don't have to relearn things (in
congress)," she said. "I have experience
and know a lot of people in student
government."
One of the suggestions she posed
was adding a toll-free phone line to
Caroline for out-of-state students.
Karras also said she wanted to work
for improved campus lighting.

Bret Batdorff
Bret Batdorff
said one of his
main interests was
improving safety
on campus and in
the community.
Batdorff, ajun
ior transfer from
Appalachian State
University, said he
wanted to organize
a Student Govern
ment Safety Walk,
in which students, administrators and
security officers would tour the campus
at night looking for danger areas. He
said the walk might kick off a Campus
Safety Week.
Batdorff said he would add new ideas
to the congress.
"I see myself as an agent of change in
a congress that definitely needs new
blood," he said.
Batdorff said he planned to keep his
constituents notified of his actions in
congress. "I want people in District 20
Crowd
Glenn Gerding
said safety would
be one of his main
concerns as a
member of Stu
dent Congress.
Gerding said he
wanted congress
to expand the bud
get for the SAFE
Escort program or
fund a new pro
gram so it would
be available for everyone. He also said
he wanted to work on finding a way for
off-campus students to park on campus.
He said he wanted to work on con
trolling student fees.
"I want to work on streamlining the
budget especially with everybody
complaining about the increase in tu
ition," he said. "I don't know that we
need to keep increasing student fees. I
realize there are a number of special
interest groups vying for money, but
we'll all have to carry the burden and
work together to take the cuts."
Derek Shadid
said he thought
Student Congress
should take an ac
tive role to pro

awareness on campus.

son ror running is
(that) I believe
education on our Derek Shadid
campus is a lot
more than academics," Shadid said. "I
believe in trying to understand the dif
ference between cultures."
Shadid, a sophomore from Oklahoma
City, Okla., said he wanted to make sure
groups that came to congress for fund
ing had the opportunity to be approved.
"I felt that last year congress had a bit
of a setback because of the far right
wing faction," he said. "Since I want to
promote tolerance on campus through
organization and ideas, I want to make
sure organizations on campus have a
voice that will definitely speak for them.
It's easier for the rest of the campus to
get involved when congress backs (the
groups)."
Matt Fisher said that as a member of
congress he would work to improve
safety on the fringes of campus where
many of his constituents lived.
"There are a lot of people who walk
(to campus and back), and there are

"We have a cultural center at State. I
don't think it's to separate anybody. It's
to bring everybody together."

"I think Chancellor Hardin should be
standing in this line tonight. If he was
not frightened by the crowd that visted
his office, he should be frightened by
this."

Middlesex
"I got here today. I don't really know
what's going on, but I'm here to find
out."
Alicia Hylton, Shaw University stu
dent "V m here because I really want to see

Lewis Miller, Durham resident
"I'm here because I know Spike's a
great filmmaker. Also, because I want
to be part of it. Basically, because I'm a
Brit, and I'm not used to that sort of
thing."

ter, England
"I'm in support of education con
cerning black issues; however, I was
offended by certain speakers."
Amy Webb, Duke University student
"(Khalid X) said a lot of things that
needed to be said. It was very straight
forward and needed to be said. He was
a dynamic speaker, and he was basi
cally reading my mind. He was not
trying to sugar anything down."
Tanisha Barnes, UNC junior from
Wilson
"I think the main goal was unity. For
so long, the black community was split.
Finally we are unified."
Marchell Adams, UNC graduate stu
dent from Rockingham
"The aura was unity, blacks were
here and standi ng up for the same causes.
It was beautiful."
Chandra McLean, UNC senior from
Little Rock, S.C., and editor of the Black
Ink
"I felt it was racist."
Felica Walker, St. Augustine Col

"I wanted to come and show my
support for a free-standing BCC; it's
something we need. Also, I am a big fan
of Spike Lee."

specific areas on
Street that are
unsafe," he said.
"That's a very dan
gerous part of
town. A lot of
these incidents are
happening on the
edge of campus."
Fisher, a junior
from Nashville,
Tenn., also said he
would like to improve the campus mo
rale toward Student Congress by re
working the student government bud
get. He said he thought student govern
ment should ensure that organizations
such as the Campus Y received enough
money to carry out their programs.
Berry Carpen
ter, a resident of
Sunstone Apart
ments, said he
would make sure
Sunstone resi
dents' concerns
were heard if he
were elected to
congress.
Carpenter said
the other two
apartment com
plexes in his district often overshad
owed Sunstone because they were more
popular with students.
He said he would try to have apart
ment meetings so he could hear the
interests of his constituents. "I don't
know how feasible that is, but it sounds
like a really good idea to try to get some
organization," he said.
A junior transfer from N.C. State,
Carpenter said he had attended the last
two congress meetings and supported
increasing student fees because he said
there was enough opposition in con
gress to make sure the fees wouldn't

rise out of control. ;
Carpenter also said he supported trje
proposal congress passed that gave con
gress' support to the coalition fighting
for a free-standing BCC. '.

Jennifer Dillon
said that as a con
gress member, she
would focus on
keeping student
fees as low as pos
sible as well as in
creasing security
on campus.
"I want to do my
part to see where
student fees are
going and that we
have our say-so in where fees will be
allocated," she said.
Dillon also said she would like to
improve campus safety, especially for
students who live off campus.
She suggested making parking easier
for off-campus residents who must drive
on campus to go to the library at night.
She said a solution might be to have a
library shuttle that would take students
directly to their apartments. '

lowed people in here and everyone in
the building had keys. I could see from
outside that my room was open for over
an hour and a half."
McArthur said that when residents
asked firemen if they could go up to
secure their rooms, they replied that
police were securing the area. "When
they let us back into the building, they
let everybody else back in first, and
when we got up here, everybody from
the dorm was up here looking around,
and the doors were unlocked," she said.
Mike McGowan, a freshman from
Boone and a fourth-floor Carmichael
resident said, "We had two inches of
standing water in our room. We had to
get the water out of the carpet our
selves." After firefighters stopped the water,
UNC Physical Plant workers entered
the building, checked the electrical sys
tem and replaced the sprinkler head.
Some residents on the fourth floor were
left without power until later Friday.
Watts said some residents who did
not have power chose to stay with friends
elsewhere on campus.
Fourth-floor Carmichael resident
Rick Bagby , a sophomore from Lexing
ton, said the smell left from the incident
was worse than the problems caused by
the water. "It' s really gotten to be worse
now because of the smell still in there,"
he said Saturday. 'The water was a big
problem the other night, but the smell is
really lingering on."
The smell caused by the damp carpet
has raised quite a stink among resi
dents. One resident compared the odor
to that of a "wet dog."
