ASSISTANT STATE AND NATIONAL EDITOR
Even as trick-or-treaters, young and old,
prepare for a ghoulish All Hallow’s Eve,
some people are concerned because the
celebration falls on Sunday this year.
“I’ve got nothing against the secular
aspect of the holiday. It’s the glorification
of the devil that I have a problem with,”
said John Burwell, pastor at the Episcopal
Church of the Holy Cross on South
Carolina’s Sullivan’s Island.
Burwell said he had campaigned against
the violent themes of Halloween which
could have an adverse affect on children.
“There’s got to be a better way to cel
ebrate,” he said. “Do we really want to
furtherglorifyviolenceby parading through
haunted houses where dismembered bod
ies and blood and gore are offered up like
macabre sacraments to be savored and
enjoyed?
“The other 364 days of the year we say
No, no, this violence is terrible.’”

past, we asked council to weigh what the
memo said (about repairs) and what the
residents have complained about.”
Batada said she planned to follow the
town’s progress to make sure it was mak
ing repairs specified within the report. “We
see the residents every week. If follow-up
actions are needed, then we’ll talk with
them about it.”
Town council member Barbara Powell
said she was satisfied with the report. “I

Wednesday’s meeting.
“I think it’s good that it’s being brought
up for discussion. I do think some type of
line-item veto is necessary specifically for
the full budget bill.”
The finance committee also voted to
defund a $4,735 minority-recruitment bill
that would donate money to the executive
branch to stimulate minority interest in the
University. Minority recruitment has been
funded through this program since 1973.
The funds go toward programs like Project
Uplift and Tar Heel Target, which are
aimed at attracting minority high-school
students to the University. The program
also funds pre-orientation for entering fresh
men minorities.
Copland said he thought the finance
committee took away funds because they
did not think programs targeting high
school students were of high importance.

Charlotte Police Department, said the de
partment did not expect any problems.
However, there will be slightly increased
police activity to handle the extra Hallow
een activity, she said.
“The children come out at dusk,” she
said. “Our officers are watching out for
folks who aren’t normally out at this time
of day. But, of course, they can’t be every
where all the time.”
Linda Wyant, trauma center coordina
tor for Wake Medical Center in Raleigh,
said the hospital expected only a slightly
increased number of injuries this Sunday.
“There are some kids who get hit, but
fortunately the cars are usually going slow, ”
she said. “Others may fall off the curb
because their costumes are too long. We
see a lot of scraped elbows and broken
arms.”
Wyant said the day of the week on
which Halloween fell had a great deal to do
with the number of Halloween injuries.
“If it’s on a weekend night, Friday or
Saturday, then there tend to be more inju
ries, mostly caused by alcohol,” she said.
understand Maxecine's concerns, but I also
understand the town manager’s report.”
Powell said she didn’t think many coun
cil members were aware of the problems in
public housing.
“I was here when public housing was
first built. I knew every one of the residents
who first moved in. They were people I
grew up with,” Powell said. “Sometimes
people just feel trapped when they can’t get
any satisfaction. I know how they feel
when they are treated bad because they
don’t have the income or a certain educa
tion level.”
Copland disagrees with that notion.
“I don’t know that there’s a real under
standing of what these programs are about
and why they’ve been funded,” Copland
said. “Diversity should be a prime concern
of all students.
“I feel like we get a good return on this
money. We very much need to realize that
not all student fees we pay directly benefit
the students paying them. (Students now)
are getting a direct return on fees that
students (many years ago) paid.
“I hope that congress will reinstate some
measure of funding. I feel it’s important
that we maintain our symbolic commit
ment and continue to support minority
recruitment.”
A bill concerning funds for the African
Student Association also will go before
congress Wednesday.
The bill requests $650 for the group,
which seeks to promote African interests
and African-American relations in social,
cultural, political and academic areas.
“Duringthe week or on Sunday, things are
pretty normal.”
Wyant added that visibility would be
the best protection for younger Halloween
celebrants. “If the costume is homemade,
they need to get some reflection tape, ” she
said. “You know, put some around
Dracula’s cape so motorists can see him.”
James Butterworth, manager of the
Halloween Express in Columbia, S.C., said
he thought at least as many adults were
getting ready to don costumes as children.
“Forthe children, it’sbeen Disney char
acters. Aladdin, Ariel and Snow White
have been good. Barney sells well for the
teallyyoungones,”hesaid. “Forthe adults,
it’s been the flappier costumes. Cowboy
and cowgirls have been the biggest.”
Butterworth said he thought a change
in the timing of Halloween would elimi
nate the problems some people had with
celebrating a pagan ritual on Sunday.
“The last Saturday in October should be
designated as Halloween,” he said.
’’But I’m not sure people would go for
breaking tradition.”

form anew interest in such narrative style.
She said that the more writers negoti
ated with readers through narrative, the
better they became as writers. “You begin
to speak to someone other than yourself.”
When asked about the effects of schol
arly writing on the so-called Southern Lit
erary Renaissance, Foote said he hoped it
had no effects at ail.
“There was only one American writer
up to my time who even had a master’s
degree, and that was Thomas Wolfe,” he
said. “And he only got it so he could live off
his folks another two years.”
Foote said he was a little concerned
with the influx of scholarly writingbecause
of the rigid nature of the writing involved.
“Much of the most effective products of
artists have come from their
subconsciences,” he said.
Foote spoke highly of the successful
PBS miniseries, “The Civil War," which
he narrated. He said the best thing pro
ducer Ken Bums did was take his time on
the project. In fact, Bums spent over five
years preparing the series.
There were two flaws, however, Foote
said. “Because of the abundance of photos
from the eastern campaigns, there was not
enough focus on the West,”hesaid. “There
was also too much emphasis placed on
slavery.”
Foote’s week-long visit to UNC will
continue today with a free public program,
“The Novelist as Historian," at 8 p.m. in
Memorial Hall.
