Speaker Moore is a petty person

"Student activists protest Moore's re-election, claim graduate signature invalidates petition" Daily Tar Heel, 2/13/92

By Bonnie Rochman, Assistant University Editor

Two University students are contesting Speaker Tim Moore's re-election to Student Congress on the grounds that some of the 25 signatures on his election petition were illegitimate

Dana Lumsden, a senior from Boston, said he and Erik Ose, a junior from Bristol, R.I., had noted two discrepancies in Moore's petition. "People who sign the petition must put down their full name, address and phone number, and a couple of Tim's folks didn't even do that. "And there's a man on Tim's petition who is a graduate student, and graduate students cannot be represented by undergraduates as stated by the Student (Government) Code, so that makes one of Tim's signatures invalid," Lumsden said. "Therefore, there are only 24, not 25 signatures hence his position on the ballot is invalid."

Moore said he thought the signature in question was legitimate. "My understanding is that the person is a senior," he said. "Lumsden and Ose are alleging he's a graduate student. But the petitions were approved, and I don't see it as an issue."

Chris Bracey, Elections Board chairman, said the point was moot because the petitions already had been approved. He said he had randomly checked the petitions to make sure they were valid. Lumsden and Ose missed the deadline, which is 48 hours from when the petitions are turned in, to lodge their complaint, Bracey said. Bracey said he did not have time to look into the matter further.

Lumsden said the oversight was not Bracey's fault. "Chris was dealing with so many petitions and operating under the assumption that number one, people will not be petty," Lumsden said. "Speaker Moore is a petty person."

Two of the most fun people we know

"Class of '93 hopefuls touted," Daily Tar Heel, 2/11/92

Philson/Pedigo would lead UNC to productive, fun year

To the editor: We are writing to endorse Caroline Philson and Christopher Pedigo for senior class president and vice president. As members of the class of '93, we feel that Philson and Pedigo are the best candidates for the following reasons:

Leadership. Philson is presently co-chairwoman of EEK! (Earth Education for Kids) and has been actively involved with the Student Environmental Action Coalition and UNITAS. Pedigo is the co-founder of the Russian House. He has also worked in student government and with Pauper Players. Philson and Pedigo have proven that they are effective leaders of various organizations, that they can be strong leaders of the class of '93.

Goals. Philson and Pedigo have goals that affect not only the senior class, but the entire University. Let's face it: We've been here for three years. Our awareness of the University's policies and problems put us in a position to do something about them. Now is the time for seniors to give back to the University. Philson and Pedigo hope to implement a book-loan program that would save all students money on books. They also plan to organize a task force to keep students informed about the budget crisis and what the legislature is doing.

Unity. Philson and Pedigo want to work hard to include all seniors in senior class activities. After three years of hard work, it's time to have some fun, but one-sided senior class activities are only fun for some. Philson and Pedigo hope to create activities that all seniors will feel comfortable participating in. Accessibility. Philson and Pedigo hope to be accessible to all seniors by participating in activities that encompass all seniors. This will include mobile "office" hours in places such as Lenoir Dining Hall and the Pit.

Fun. These two are some of the most fun people we know. They will most certainly lend their enthusiastic attitudes to everything they do. Remember, "For a good time, vote for Philson and Pedigo." Philson and Pedigo know what the offices of senior class president and vice president entail. They'll let George Bush promise you a job, but if you want to have a great time and help out the University in your last year at UNC, vote Philson and Pedigo for senior class president and vice president.
