Congress to consider
Lloyd impeachment
By Michael Workman
Staff Writer
The impeachment proceedings
against Student Congress Speaker Jen
nifer Lloyd will continue tonight as
congress members prepare to vote on
whether Lloyd's case will go to trial.
If congress votes to impeach Lloyd,
she will go to trial next Wednesday.
Five congress members introduced
the bill of impeachment, which includes
six charges of "misfeasance, malfea
sance and nonfeasance," at the Sept. 30
congress meeting. The Rules and Judi
ciary Committee voted at its meeting
last Wednesday to recommend impeach
ment on five of the six charges.
Several congress members said they
thought the bill would be passed, but
they differed on the possibility of
Lloyd's conviction.
Lloyd said congress rules prevented
her from defending herself at the Rules
and Judiciary Committee meeting and
tonight's congress meeting. If the case
were to go to trial, she would be able to
present her side of the case.
"A lot of people will vote to take it to
trial, ironically, to give me a chance to
defend myself," Lloyd said.
Lloyd said that while she wanted to
be cleared of the charges as soon as
possible, she wanted to go to trial be
cause she wanted "to exonerate myself
from these charges. I want the student
body to understand the truth."
Rep. Philip Charles-Pierre, Dist. 17,
one of the bill' s sponsors, said he thought
congress members would vote to send
the case to trial.
"If there isn't what I call selective
hearing . . ., if people listen to plain facts
I think it will go to trial," he said.
Rep. Charlton Allen, Dist. 21, an

Staff Writer
Representatives of the BCC Advi
sory Board said Tuesday that Chan
cellor Paul Hardin mast approve a
free-standing BCC and also must rec
ognize the advisory board before the
two sides of the debate can work to
gether. Even if Hardin approves the report
of the BCC working group, which has
asked him to pledge his support for a
free-standing center, the panel still
most agree to become part of the BCC
Advisory Board, said Trisha Merchant,
DTHkrin Randall
other sponsor of the bill, said, "Just the
fact that it passed the Rules and Judi
ciary Committee indicates widespread
support for the bill."
But Lloyd said support for the bill did
not translate into support for a convic
tion. "I feel absolutely confident that
the congress will vote against (convic
tion)," she said.
A two-thirds vote of the congress
would be required to remove her from
office, but "that's just not going to hap
pen," Lloyd said.
But Charles-Pierre said he thought it
was quite possible that Lloyd would be
impeached.
"I think we can prove that each charge
is impeachable as well as a reason to
convict," he said. "I believe we have a
very strong case."
Allen said: "It's going to be an inter
esting trial. A lot will depend on how
the case is presented by both sides."
The bill charges that Lloyd:
Falsified a committee report which
investigated mismanagement of con
gressional funds.
"Attempted to prevent the lawful
enactment" of a bill to fund a speaker
for the Campus Crusade for Christ. The
Rules and Judiciary Committee voted
against recommending Lloyd's im
peachment on this charge.

"Hardin will have to acknowledge
the BCC Advisory Board," she said,
ruling out the possibility of the board
joining the working group. "The work
ing group will have to be absorbed into
the advisory board."
At its third meeting Monday, the
working group unanimously adopted
the report recommending the construc
tion of a free-standing Sonja Haynes

Hardin to endorse a new center.

the chancellor Tuesday, tie working

The Associated Press
ATLANTA Dan Quayle and Al
Gore collided in fierce, finger-pointing
debate Tuesday night, the vice presi
dent attacking Bill Clinton as a man
who "has trouble telling the truth" and
his rival branding the Republicans as
"blinded to the suffering" inflicted by a
sour economy.
James Stockdale punctuated his
outsider's status as Ross Perot's run
ning mate with a sharp remark after one
bickering Quayle-Gore exchange: "I
think America is seeing why this nation
is in gridlock."
The political imperative was clear
for each of the running mates: boost the
fortunes of the man at the top of the
ticket in a race that has exactly three
weeks left and shows Clinton with a
solid lead in the polls.

Staff Writer
Student Congress members will con
sider two opposing bills at tonight's
meeting one calling for the removal
of restrictive riders on the budgets of
Bisexuals, Gay Men, Lesbians and Al
lies for Diversity and Graduate Stu
dents United and a newer bill that would
maintain the riders with minor modifi
cations. The most recent of the two bills,
which will be considered by congTess
during either tonight's meeting or the
meeting two weeks from now, would
leave B-GLAD and GSU as the only
groups with political speech restriction
riders on their budgets.
The riders prohibit the use of student
government funds in advocating, en

The restrictions were placed on the
two groups' budgets last February after
debate over whether B-GLAD, then
known as the Carolina Gay and Lesbian
Association, had violated the Student
Government Code by inviting a mem
ber of a political action committee to
speak on campus.
The new bill, introduced by Rep.
Kevin Hunter, Dist. 14, would leave in
the restrictions but would add to the
riders a clause that would allow these
organizations to oppose or support Uni
versity action. The bill also would strike
one rider requiring the organizations to
submit any publications they produce
to Student Congress's Administrative
Committee.
Before the Hunter bill, Rep. Andrew
Cohen, Dist. 6, introduced a bill that
would completely remove the riders on
the GSU and B-GLAD budgets.

Condo managers deny rape
By Jackie Hershkowitz
Assistant City Editor
A spokeswoman for the realty com
pany sued for negligence that allegedly
led to a tenant's rape said Tuesday that
the management bore "no responsibil
ity whatsoever" for the assault.
Chapel Hill Realty Inc., the company
that manages the plaintiffs Sherwood
Colony Condominium on East Franklin
Street, could not have prevented the
break-in and rape that occurred April 4,
said the realty spokeswoman, who asked
not to be named.
After researching records, Chapel
Hill Realty found no evidence of re
quests to repair broken locks, according
to a statement released Tuesday by the

Clinton "stand for change."
Quayle retorted that Clinton and Gore
would "make matters much, much
worse. He will raise your taxes; he will
increase spending; he will make gov

Quayle attacked the Democratic standard-bearer
vigorously and persistently.
congress meeting, Hunter said there may
not be enough time to consider the bills
until the next congress meeting.
Hunter said his proposed restriction
was a clarification of the Student Gov
ernment Code, which prohibits groups
receiving student fees from supporting
candidates for political office or en
dorsing political parties. He added that
his bill was intended to give student
organizations specific guidelines to fol
low because the code was too vague.
Hunter also said Student Body Presi
dent John Moody would be more likely
to sign his bill than Cohen's version.
Finance Committee Chairman Chris
Tuck, Dist. 20, said he supported
Hunter's bill.
Tuck said he believed that the Stu
dent Government Code eventually
would have to be changed to place the
same restrictions on all organizations
receiving funding. "I do think that po
litical statements should not be funded
by student fees," he said.

But the plaintiff, in a lawsuit filed in
Orange County Superior Court last
week, claimed that requests to fix a
broken deadbolt lock were repeatedly
ignored.
The lawsuit alleged that by failing to
install proper locks, the management
and owners of the Sherwood Colony
Condominium on East Franklin Street
were responsible for the break-in and
rape.
The intruder was able to enter the
woman's condominium through her
front door, the lawsuit states.

added that he was glad to see a consen

riders that required the groups to submit
publications to committee.
The fact that Hunter proposed his bill
is a sign that Hunter thinks support for
Cohen's bill is too strong, Cohen said.
"My bill is the only one that does the
job," said Cohen.
Kathy Staley, B-GLAD co-chairwoman,
said the riders took away the
group's First Amendment rights. She
added that the Student Government
Code only restricted the group from
endorsing a political party or a candi

from speaking out on anything politi

B-GLAD remaining non-partisan, since

With December still two months

holiday entrepreneurship collided with
University policy.
Table Top Trees of Chapel Hill, a
specialty tree seller, placed a sample
