Lloyd confident a impeachment trial
By Michael Workman
SuffWriter
Student Congress Speaker Jennifer
Lloyd finally will have her day in court
today as congress meets to decide if she
is guilty of violating the Student Gov
ernment Code.
: The trial, which begins at 7 p.m. in
Classroom 2 of the Law School, will
proceed much like a criminal trial. De
fense and prosecution counsels will
make opening and closing statements
and question witnesses.
. For the first time in the impeachment
process, which began when five mem
bers of congress lodged charges of "mis
feasance, malfeasance and non
feasance" against her three weeks ago,
Lloyd will be able to present evidence
BCC board: Boulton must
ensure Crawford's position
By Anna Griffin
University Editor
- - Despite the initial agreement reached
Monday between the black cultural cen
ter working group and the BCC Advi
sory Board, no official talks will take
place between the two groups until UNC
officials publicly ensure the job of BCC
Director Margo Crawford, an advisory
board official said Tuesday night.
Crawford, who oversees the day-today
operation of the center, has been the
subject of numerous job threats, ac-
cording to Trisha Merchant, vice-chair-.
woman of the BCC Advisory Board.
Although the two sides in the contro
versy over a free-standing BCC did
agree to work together Monday, the
advisory board will not begin official
Applicants criticize council decision
By Jackie Hershkowitz
Assistant City Editor
Some of the applicants for the Chapel
Hill Town Council's vacant seat said
Tuesday that they were upset by the
council's change of plans to hold an
open public forum for all candidates.
; After initially agreeing to hold indi
vidual interviews with candidates, the
council decided Monday that an open'
forum would better serve the interests
of the public.
The forum to appoint the new coun
cil member will take place at 7 p.m.
Sunday at Chapel Hill Town Hall.
- One of the council's eight seats was
vacated last month after council mem
ber Roosevelt Wilkerson resigned, ad
mitting he had falsified the mayor's
signature on an official town document.
- Paul Tripodi, owner of Tripodi's
Delicatessen and one of the 10 appli
cants for the vacant seat, said he was
frustrated by the council's last-minute
decision, adding that it was indicative
of how the council tended to operate.
"It's kind of a thrown-together deal,"
Tripodi said. "They're making it up as
they go along."
It was unfair of the council to change
the application process without giving
the candidates sufficient notice, he
added, explaining that applicants would
be given only four days to prepare the
answers to questions the council would
distribute Thursday.

A politician should
on her own behalf.
During the hearing of her case last
Wednesday, Lloyd could not question
or introduce witnesses.
Lloyd said she was excited about
being able to defend herself.
"There was evidence given and testi
mony given last week that was not put
into context," she said.
"That's my highest concern that
the congress understand exactly what
happened."
Congress will debate the charges and
vote on them after the trial. A two-thirds
majority is necessary to convict. If Lloyd
is convicted, another two-thirds major
ity will be needed to remove her from
office.
Lloyd said she feared congress mem
bers might vote for conviction and
discussions with the six panel members
assigned to work with them until Donald
Boulton, vice chancellor for student
affairs and Crawford's immediate su
pervisor, states publicly that Crawford's
job is safe, Merchant said.
"We want the University to officially
and publicly support her," Merchant
said late Tuesday night. "We have not
gotten that insurance yet."
At the Monday working group meet
ing, members of the advisory board and
the coalition for a free-standing BCC
agreed to join in discussions with panel
members.
The panel, charged earlier this fall
with coming up with a concrete plan for
a new or expanded BCC, voted to send
six members Provost Richard
McCormick, Robert Eubanks, Patrick
ber of the town ' s planning board, agreed
with Tripodi, adding that she would not
be able to attend the forum because of a
prior out-of-town commitment.
"Giving the candidates less than one
week's notice is not good planning,"
Evans said.
But Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun
said he thought the decision to hold an
open forum showed that the council
was responsive to public concerns.
"I prefer to say we' ve shown flexibil
ity than to say we've flip-flopped,"
Broun said.
Broun said he did not think that the
procedural change significantly would
inconvenience the applicants because
the same questions would be asked in a
public hearing as in private meetings.
Before Sunday's forum, candidates
will be given six questions and will be
asked two of the questions at the hear
ing. Candidates who do not attend will
be required to answer all six questions
in writing.
Holding an open forum will be ben
eficial because it will provide the public
with an opportunity to give their input,
Broun said.
But Tripodi said the open forum only
would help applicants who were sup
ported by special interest groups.
"If we're going to be appointed based
on an applause meter, then it's great,"
he said. "Maybe I'll bring a clown or a
musician with me so I can get more
points."
Tripodi said the decision to invite
rape in the case.
Afterwards, Crime Stoppers gave
Boardman a $50 reward in appreciation
of bis good deed.
But Boardman said he decided to
press Crime Stoppers for the fa U amount,
which they advert! sed af ter a story about
his case appeared in Sunday ' edition of
the Chapel Hill Herald.
The story called attention to Crime
Stoppers and the success it had in die
Lyles case. :;
"What happened in the Boardman
case was that Crime Stoppers did not
advertise that particular crime," Daniel
said. The federal marshal service was
advertising a reward for that particular
crime.
"I do not feel that it was a Crime
Stoppers case," he added, saying that
the organization only gave Boardman
phrase his promises
against removal in an effort to compro
mise. "That should not happen because I
am not guilty," she said.
George Battle, Dist. 17 representa
tive and a sponsor of the impeachment
bill, said he thought Lloyd probably
wouldn't be convicted but added that
the accusers already had accomplished
their goal.
"The odds are very likely that Jen
will not be convicted," he said.
"We've accomplished our objective
... that she will be more watchful in her
dealings with congress from now on."
Rep. Philip Charles-Pierre, Dist. 17,
and another impeachment bill sponsor,
said the case was very important in
establishing the need for following the
rules of congress.
Rivers, Harvey Gantt, Deloris Jordan
and James Peacock to join the BCC
facilities and planning committee, the
group that has been studying plans for a
new center for several years.
The coalition's decision to work with
the working group follows Chancellor
Paul Hardin's announcement last week
that he supports the panel's endorse
ment of a free-standing center.
But Merchant said the agreement was
not legitimate until the University ad
ministration ensured Crawford's job.
Crawford and coalition leaders have
said several times that the BCC
director's job had been threatened be
cause of her participation in the move
ment for a free-standing center.

local residents to hear the council's
deliberations was pointless because the
public would not be voting.
"It's upsetting to me that they're go
ing through all this for an appointed
seat," he said.
Tripodi added that he suspected the
process was weighted to favor black
candidates.
"If they really want a black candi
date, why are they putting other candi
dates through this?" he asked. "Is it
fair?"
Applicant Mickey Ewell said he
hoped the council would be open
minded and choose the best-qualified
applicant, regardless of race.
"I understand why they would like to
see a black 'candidate, but I hope they
take my candidacy seriously," he said.
Broun said each of the candidates
would be assessed individually, but ac
knowledged that black candidates would
receive special consideration.
"We are very interested in the African-American
candidates," Broun said.
"But I don't think anybody's wasting
their time."
Broun said that despite some com
plaints about the way the new council
member would be selected, he thought
it was a fair process.
The council will appoint one of the
applicants to serve until next fall's mu
nicipal elections.

Daniel said Boardman went to the

Crime Stoppers is an organization
that works with the police to help

Daniel said.
The organization does this by pay

said. "It's a question of whether or not

Charles-Pierre said the case for con
viction and removal was probably hurt
by discussions of the case that have
occurred during the period leading up to
the trial.
"Everybody thinks there are 80 bil
lion noles in the prosecution, but the
defense gets to come in fresh," he said.
Members of both sides of the case
said they would triumph if congress
members entered tonight's trial with
open minds.
"I think the outcome will be good if
people listen to the evidence and listen

said.

Cross-Culture Night provides
wide variety of performances
By Thanassis Cambanis

Six diverse cultural groups played
to a capacity crowd Tuesday during
the Carolina Athletic Association's
Cross-Culture Night.
Lloyd Wilson, a traditional-style
storyteller, capped the eclectic list of
performers. Wilson, a native of
Wilmington, studied music in New
York City. The "Griot," the term for a
traditional African tribal storyteller,
serves as Wilson's model. "The sole
purpose of the Griot is to preserve the
history of a people through his stories
and his music," he said. "I use my
stories to teach certain aspects of life."

Graduate school applications up;
experts cite declining job market
By Gautam Khandclwal
Staff Writer
UNC graduate schools have seen a
dramatic rise in the number of appli
cants in recent years, due in part to the
decline of the U.S. job market.
Henry Dearman, dean of the Gradu
ate School, said there had been an in
crease nationally in the number of ap
plicants to graduate schools. "I think
that it is certainly a reasonable conjec
ture that the recession has had some
thing to do with the increase in graduate
enrollment," he said.
Dearman said the state of the
economy should not be the deciding
factor for students considering enroll
ing in graduate school.
Lloyd agreed. "If the members would
go in tomorrow with open minds, then
they could see these issues for what they
really were," she said.
But Lloyd said she feared that some
members had already decided how they
would vote.
"If they promise a vote either way,
then there is no reason for the process,"
she said.
The impeachment process began
when Reps. Charles-Pierre; Battle;
Charlton Allen, Dist. 21; Chris Tuck,
Dist. 20; and Kevin Hunter, Dist. 14,
introduced a bill at the Sept. 30 con
gress meeting that charged Lloyd with
six violations of the Student Govern
ment Code.

gram) is to promote cultural diversity
through performance," Burney said.
The two-hour program began with a
dramatic presentation by the Ebony
Readers, a BSM drama troupe. The
group alternated humorous and emo
tional skits to celebrate and bemoan the
state of black America.
Afro II, a dance group, invited the
audience to accompany their set with
noise and song. The dancers presented
a traditional West African welcome
dance called Funga.
Carla Bost conducted the BSM Gos
pel Choir in a 15-minute performance.
Occasional somber moments punctu
ated the exuberant mood.
Following a Native-American shawl
dance, two performers from Unheard
Voices delivered a moving and serious
message. "For 500 years, the Native-
"If you apply to graduate school w ith
a serious intent, then having more ad
vanced training is going to be an asset,"
he said. "The investment people make
in advanced education is a useful and
helpful thing to do under any circum
stances." Dearman said students considering
graduate school should contact Robert
Kirkpatrick, pre-graduate school ad
viser. Ralph Quatrano, chairman of die bi
ology department, said dial economic
hardships had hit graduate programs ui
biology and dial there had been a slight
increase in the number of applicants.
"My feeling it that if you have a
strong interest and a desire to pursue a
graduate degree, then you should do it,"
begins
peachment on five of the six charges at
its Oct. 7 meeting. Last Wednesday,
congTess members voted to impeach
Lloyd after dropping two of the charges.
The remaining charges accuse Lloyd
of failing to hold required Administra
tiveCommittee meetings, failing to pro
vide copies of the Student Government
Code to the Student Supreme Court's
chief justice, signing requisition forms
and making personal telephone calls on
congress telephone lines.
The telephone call charge came to
the forefront last week when impeach
ment bill sponsors learned that Lloyd
gave Assistant Student Body Treasurer
Aaron Bell a blank check Oct. 2.
Lloyd said the check was an attempt
to resolve any question about the phone
calls, not an admission of guilt.
