Aldermen to Discuss
Towns’ Fire Services
BY HOLLY WILLIAMS
STAFF WRITER
The future partnership between the
Chapel Hill and Canboro fire departments
will be discussed at tonight’s CaiTboro
Board of Aldermen meeting.
The departments, which have a history
of cooperation with training, recently were
studied by a N.C. State University profes
sor to determine whether separate depart
ments provided the best fire services to
area residents. The board of aldermen will
meet tonight in Carrboro Town Hall at
7:30.
The study was conducted by Charlie
Coe, a political science and public admin
istration professor at NCSU. Coe re
searched the pros and cons of continued
cooperation between the fire departments,
placing the two departments under a uni
fied command and administrative system,
or merging the two departments.
Coe’s report found both the coopera
tion and merging plans advantageous but
frowned on the unified command system,
in which both departments would be led by
the Chapel Hill fire chief. Few depart
ments have tried this option nationally,
and little information is available about its
feasibility, the report states.
The two departments already cooperate
by helping each other with training.
Carrboro fire officials trained Chapel Hill
staff to use anew hose, while Chapel Hill
sent an engine company to Carrboro to
help with training, Coe’s report states.

Canboro Alderman Francis Shetley said
she thought continued cooperation was
the best plan. “I think it would be a plan
that would allow us to retain an identity.”
Shetley noted that if the two depart
ments cooperated, they could buy less
equipment. “There’s always a need for
more firefighters and equipment,” she said.
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist agreed that
cooperation was the best plan, adding that
both departments typically responded to
local fires. “There’s no sense in both of us
buying the same fire truck when both show
up,” Gist said.
Gist said sharing the high cost of equip
ment, such as fire trucks, would help the
departments. Chapel Hill Fire Chief Dan
Jones said a basic fire truck with a water
tank and pump cost $200,000, while a
truck with a tank, pump and ladder cost
$500,000.
Jones wouldn’t say which plan he
thought was best. “It’s a decision that
elected officials need to look at.”
Chapel Hill Town Council member
Mark Chilton said that although he thought
merging the two departments was the best
plan, cooperation was more realistic. “Ide
ally I think it would be best to have a
merged fire system —one department for
both towns,” he said.
Chilton said the merger plan probably
wouldn’t be implemented for political rea
sons. “Each of the two towns wants to keep
its own identity,” he said. “Nobody wants
to give up authority over their territory, if
you will.”

Joke Evolves Into House Full of Talk, Shared Ideas
BY STACIE B. LORRAINE
STAFF WRITER
If you haven’t been to a North Greens
boro Street Forum at the Institute of Con
temporary Living, then perhaps you don’t
know what you are missing.
Slowly, seven UNC students who live
at the Institute of Contemporary Living
are receiving more attention for an idea
that started out as a joke.
Last year, the seven residents of the ICL
lived in Graham Residence Hall together.
Aware that some of the houses students
lived in had become known for certain
characteristics, they decided halfheartedly
to form their own.
After much brainstorming, they settled
on what they thought was the most preten
tious namfc, and the Institute of Contem
porary Living was bom.
“We don’t want people to think we’re
being pretentious it’s just a fun way to
celebrate our friendship,” said senior Kevin
Moran of Windsor, Conn.
The seven friends call themselves the
“fellows” and jokingly insist that anyone
could become an associate fellow by mak
ing a lasting contribution to the ICL.
While a certain level of fun is important
to the ICL, there also is a level of serious
ness. At the beginning of the year, mem
bers scheduled an official opening dinner
with Richard Richardson, a political sci
ence professor, as their guest speaker.
Richardson also serves as their adviser.
Unfortunately, the dinner was post
poned because one of their members con
tracted mononucleosis. In the meantime,
they have held the North Greensboro Street
Forums, inviting friends to stop by to par
ticipate in discussions led by residents.
A recent forum focused on the travels of
themembers, who boast that between all of
them, they have visited all of the conti
nents except Antarctica. For example, this
past summer three of the members were
overseas doing missionary work. The fo
rum included slides and a discussion as to
how their perceptions of the United States
had changed after doing missionary work.

Gyurko, a sophomore from Tdrrington,
Conn. “The difference is that we are truly
interested in what everyone else is doing
.... It’s a place for art, leisure and discus
sion.”
The fellows hope to have more forums
in the future, but they find that coordinat

production of “West Side Story,” to Moran,

“We wanted to try to do something for
the community to help out, especially with
the holiday season coming up,” she said.
The camera’s purpose will be to record
the process of stopping drivers and admin
istering field-sobriety tests. The tape then
would be used as courtroom evidence to
reinforce statements by the arresting police
officer.
This tactic has been used successfully in
other cities and states and even was used in
Chapel Hill before MADD donated the
camera. Public Safety officer Chuck
Quinlan had used his own video tapes
before the donation.
“We had heard that a couple of neigh
boring cities and towns had done this,”
Seng said.
groups representing First, Second, and
Third World countries. Each of the groups
were given a different meal based on their
country’s status. First Worldnations, which
made up about 15 percent of the guests, ate
salad, lasagna, rolls and cake.
Those representing Second World coun
tries, 25 percent of the guests, were given
rice and soup, and people in Third World
countries, which made up 60 percent of the
away from the apartment complex.
“I was still pretty happy and ecstatic
from the game, so I yelled, ‘What’s up?’ at
them, and one of them turned around and
slugged me. I was just trying to be friendly,
and I got hit for it.”
Both Kosinski and Gloege filed police
reports and have become more cautious.
“I’m a little more cautious now. I’m not
as afraid on campus,” Kosinski said. “I’m
pretty sure the people who did this were
out-of-towners.”
Gloege said that while he was begin

think he ever would feel completely safe
alone at night. “I have walked alone at
nightfor short distances, likearoundNorth

About 7.7 percent of reported rape vic
tims each year are male. No one really
knows how many rapes go unreported.
“People often ask me, did I report it?
But the thought never crossed my mind. I
just wanted to get out of there, and I thought,
the hell with that, what are they going to do
for me anyway?”
Senter said the aftermath of the rape
was harder to deal with than the rape itself.
“One of the hardest things to deal with
was thinking, ‘l’m the only one who’s ever
Bicentennial Committee, the ICL mem
bers cover a wide range of UNC activities.
Greg Mullinax, a senior from Chatta
nooga, Tenn., was quick to point out that
ICL was special.
“It’s more than just a group of guys
living together, ” Mullinax said. “We’re all
very different; we have this uniqueness
that we haven’t had on campus before, and
it’s an opportunity to leam from each other.
“I see the ICL as a catalyst for putting
our ideas in motion.”
While the aim is to increase conviction
rates, the introduction of videotapes of
drunk drivers could present some future
legal problems. In some instances else
where, videotapes have been dismissed as
evidence in court.
Police spokeswoman Jane Cousins said
she hoped the police department could
prevent legal problems by keeping in close
contact with the District Attorney’s office.
“We hope to be able to avoid any of
those complications,” she said.
Chapel Hill attorney Doug Webb, who
handles DWI cases and is a former town
public defender, said he thought the intro
duction of video tapes would affect both
the defense and prosecution.
Webb said that if drivers refused breath
tests, DWI convictions were based on a

“It’s interesting that we come from the

who was among those representing the
Third World.

Lt. Marcus Perry of University Police
said the same safety tips given to women
also applied to men. “Don’t walk alone,
follow well-lit paths. Everything we say for
women applies to men—these are general
safety tips.”
Gloege said he didn’t care if people
thought he was strange for worrying about
safety and riding Point-to-Point. “If they
do, I don’t really give a damn because I’m
not going to get beat up again.
“Not just girls get jumped.”
And not only girls get raped.

will lend credibility to an officer’s testi

“It will take away a lot of the objectivity
of the officer and give the judge the oppor
tunity to see what was going on.”
Police expect to begin using the camera
as early as next week. Cousins said the
department was waiting for a special frame
to mount the camera in patrol cars.
The video camera will not be assigned
to just one officer or left in just one patrol

significant percentage of male victims
“Approximately 7.7 percent of annual
rapes reported involve male victims Eight
percent of the calls we get here at the rape
crisis center involve male victims.”
Jim Senter, a rape survivor from
Durham, said rape and assault were not
just women’s issues. “People think that
because men don’t report rape, they’re not
getting raped.”
Senter linked the violence committed
by men to the violence of society.
“Statistics show that 90 percent of rap
ists were molested as children. When I say
that, I’m not making excuses. But if we
don’t start confronting these reasons, we’ll
never put an end to violence or sexual
violence.”
self, Senter had to deal with others.
“Victims are blamed. Areal man would
fight to the death if you submitted, you
must have wanted it.
“It wasn’t in prison, and I don’t think
the guy was gay. Studies show that most
men who rape other men are straight in
their consensual sex.”
Senter didn’t call a rape-crisis center
after his experience.
“I was back at school after three years,
and the nearest rape crisis center was 60
miles away, a long-distance phone call.
And I had read enough to know they only
wanted to deal with female victims.
“They don’t know how to deal with
male victims, and whether or not they care
is a mixed bag—some do and some don’t.
I just remember crying myself to sleep
night after night.lt’s a shame that services
for male survivors are so spotty.
“I’ve been a volunteer at the Orange
County Rape Crisis Center for six years,
and the folks there have been very support
ive and very willing to deal with and pro
vide services to all survivors.”
Male rape victims feel alienated because
many rape-crisis programs are geared solely
toward women, Senter said.
“ Women need to understand that when
they talk about rape in gender-exclusive
terms, it hurts.”
Today, Senter earns his income from
desktop publishing, and also works for the
Orange County Rape Crisis Center and the
National Children’s Rights Alliance.
“It’s been a long, hard road. But I’ve
been working through the feelings and
putting the blame where it belongs.”
