GPSC selects new A week later, ad still draws anger president, leaders By STEVEN WRIGHT The Chronicle
Last night, the Graduate and Professional Student Council selected next year’s officers. The council, which in the past has striven to keep a firm balance between graduate and professional students, overwhelmingly tilted toward the former. First-year Divinity students David Ferguson and David Kirkpatrick were the only students not from the Graduate School to be elected to the standing committees of the Board of Trustees or the organization’s executive committee. Ferguson and Kirkpatrick were elected vice president and student life committee chair, respectively. Ferguson will serve with PresElavne Heisler ident-elect Elayne Heisler, a second-year student in sociology. Heisler, who said she will focus on graduate student funding, increasing the organization’s visibility and creating better links between graduate and professional students, said that having a graduate student at the helm will be beneficial. “I like the idea of a graduate student rather than a professional student as president of GPSC. In the past we’ve had a professional student as the president and it hasn’t worked well,” Heisler said. The standing committees of the Board of Trustees now also lack professional student representation. Third year biomedical engineer Carol Chauncey and thirdyear graduate student in sociology Will Tyson were elected to the student affairs standing committee, deSee GPSC ELECTIONS on page 7

A panel of four professors, Chronicle Editor Greg Pessin, protesters and students Carliss Chatman and Kelly Black and hundreds of students gathered last night to continue debate over The. Chronicle’s decision to run a March 19 advertisement opposing reparations for slavery. The two-and-a-half-hourdis-
mission, at first broad, eventually turned into a back-and-forth debate between Pessin and members of the audience. In addition, suggesting that the battle is not yet over, protesters met privately after the forum, and several faculty members met Sunday to discuss the situation.

Owners worry as funds slide away from the Hideaway By ROBERT KELLEY
tember change in the campus bar’s carding policy has contributed to the decline
In the face of declining revenues and refusal by administrators to restructure a $650,000 lease plan with the University, owners of the Hideaway are signaling that the campus bar may close its doors at the end of the school year. The Hideaway’s main problem for next year is finding a new group of student owners, without which the bar cannot open. Current owners are worried that this year’s financial losses, which they say are due to more stringent carding policies, will continue in the future and dissuade students from becoming owners. Under the current loan agreement, 10 students are chosen each year for oneyear ownership terms. These students invest a certain amount of money in the business and split any profits or losses. Co-owner Greg Blair, a Fuqua student, estimates that the Hideaway currently is recouping only 60 percent of what the owners invested at the beginning of the year. And if business continues at such a slow pace, Blair said other students may be unwilling to put up the approximately $7,000 per owner necessary to open the Hideaway next year. “We have to go out and recruit new owners who are probably going to lose money on their investment,” he said. Both Hideaway owners and University administrators acknowledge that a Sep-
in business. “In the past, the Hideaway has had an awful lot of business,” said Fuqua student James Sherrill, also a co-owner. “The social arm of the University and the owners of the Hideaway have been working together to improve the underage drinking aspect, the safety of the bar and to improve the bar’s reputation. Obviously, the consequences of that are that we’re losing money.” Administrators agree that the Hideaway has been cooperative in attempts to reduce problems like underage drinking. “I’ve been very pleased with what they have been willing and able to do,” said Sue Wasiolek, assistant vice president for

THE HIDEAWAY, once a campus hot spot, is now earning only about 60 percent of what its investors put in at the beginning of the year—possibly because it is cracking down on underaged drinking.

student affairs. The Hideaway owners asked administrators last month to restructure the lease plan that was put in place two years ago. At the time, administrators felt that responsibility for the bar was spread too thinly over a large group of owners, so the University bought all shares of the business for $650,000 and reduced the number of owners to 10. Each owner must purchase his or her shares upfront, then pay additional rent costs through the year. This year, the owners combined to pay the University $57,214 for their shares, and $1,035 a month for rent. See HIDEAWAY on page 7 �
