Campus Elections Kickoff
By Tim Nelson

We may be in the middle of winter, but it is a new season here on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus -- campaign season.

It is that time again; campaigning is officially underway. For the next three weeks, posters endorsing candidates for several positions will cover campus bulletin boards. Candidates will be all-across campus seeking your vote.

Campaigning kicked off Tuesday night at an informational meeting for those seeking office. Candidates got a review of election rules and signed papers officially declaring their candidacy.

After the meeting, Carolina Week caught up with one of the student body president candidates and asked how it feels to get started.

"It's sort of an odd combination of being nerve-racking and a relief at the same time," said junior Fred Hashagen. "The day is finally here, but there's a lot of work ahead of us. It's an interesting confluence of feelings right now."

As of now, there are seven candidates for student body president, five pairs of running mates for senior class officers and two candidates for Carolina Athletic Association president. Two positions have just one candidate; the presidential slots for the Residence Hall Association and the Graduate and Professional Student Federation.

The general election is February 12th. Voting will again be online.

Here are some of the student body president candidates' web sites. Correy Campbell Jen Daum
