Police send fliers to curb container violations
■ Bar patrons read police
fliers and weep alcohol
can’t leave the building.
BY AMY CAPPIELLO
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
As thousands of fans descended on
Chapel Hill and the town’sbars this week
end for the opening game of the UNC
football season, the Chapel Hill Police
Department set out to prevent open con
tainers of alcohol from entering the town’s
streets.
In an effort to curb public consump
tion of alcohol, the police printed and

double standard. Younger people are al
ways getting cited, and citations for
alumni never seem to be that severe.”
One class of ’SB member, who asked
to remain anonymous, said he thought
alumni had often been protected by their
contributions to the University. “(The
double standard) is probably true, but
(students) aren’t giving anything,” he
said. “If they started opening up their
pocketbooks, they wouldn’t get caught.”
University Police Lt. Mark Mclntyre
said only warning citations had been
handed out at the Clemson game, but

distributed fliers to area bars, explaining
the particulars of the town’s open-con
tainer ordinance.
“They came in and gave us signs and
asked us to post them, which we did,”
said Roger Reed, manager of Bub
O’Malley’sat 157 E. Rosemary St. “(The
signs) explain the open-container policy
and the fact that you can pay up to a $ 115
fine in court costs.”
Reed said he thought the fliers were
useful to both the police and bar patrons.
“(The police) don’t have to waste time
busting people for open containers, and it
saves people in here a lot of money.”
The fliers also helped remind the pub
lic of the open-container ordinance, Reed
said. He said many people stopped and
One owner of the Village Connection
said the bar was closed at the time, but
would not comment further.
Reports stated the investigation into
the shooting is continuing. Anyone who
witnessed the incident or has any infor
mation should contact Sergeant Patrick
Bums of the police at 968-2767.
that penalties would be more severe at
future games. “Any game after today’s
game, violators (of the public consump
tion law) will be issued uniform state
citations and willhave to appear in court.”
University Police Lt. Edwin Swain
said issuing citations for drinking at foot
ball games was not anew policy and the
policy covered all incidents of public con
sumption, not just those on game days.
“I’ve been doing this for nine years;
policy has not changed,” Swain said.
Names of students caught breaking
the public consumption law were sent to
University officials, and students will
have to enroll in an alcohol awareness
program, Swain said.

asked about the signs and the open-con
tainer policy.
Not every establishment that received
the fliers put them up. Mark Burnett,
manager ofHe’sNot Here at 1121/2W.
Franklin St., said his bar did not put the
flier up because it already took measures
to prevent patrons from being cited once
they walked out the door.
“We have a guy at the front gate,”
Burnett said. “We don’t let people go
outside with beer or drinks.”
Burnett said the gate-checker made
sure no one left with an open container
and explained to customers anyone
caught on public property with an open
container could be fined over SIOO.
Not every bar received a flier. Manag

and thus could not post it.
Reed said although the police did not
specify how long the signs should remain
up, Bub O’Malley’s would keep them up
indefinitely.
Signs warning customers about the
penalties of open containers did not deter
business.
“Actually, we had really good days
because of the game,” Reed said. “We
were packed on Saturday from noon to 1
a.m. Saturday was wonderful.”
Burnett said the combination of the
Clemson game, Labor Day and Hurri

More funds needed for
academic honors center
BY DAVE SNELL
STAFF WRITER
University officials say money is the
only obstacle to the completion of the
James M. Johnston Center for Under
graduate Excellence.
“Right now, we’re at the stage of final
izing plans and raising money for the
center,” said Miles Fletcher, assistant
dean for the Honors Program. “There’s
going to be a final review of the renova
tion plans, but the plans are basically
done ... we just need to raise an addi
tional $l.B million.”
Plans to renovate Graham Memorial
as the location for the center have been in
the works for several years. Fletcher said
the center would be a response to the
sense of a diminished academic focus at
UNC.
“I think it’s quite timely with the
University’s present concerns about the
intellectual climate on campus, ” Fletcher
said. “The purpose of the center is to
encourage academic and intellectual ex
change within and outside the class
room.”
Plans forthe center include three semi
nar rooms designated specifically for
undergraduate classes and two class
rooms which will hold 35 students each.
One of the classrooms will be a master
teaching center with the latest technol
ogy. The basement of the center will
house a research center where students
will have access to databases.
“(The center) will provide facilities for
faculty and students to exchange ideas,
making the University more intellectu
ally stimulating and interesting, "Fletcher
said.
In addition, the Honors Program and
the Office of N.C. Fellows Program and
Leadership Development will both be
based at the center. The Department of
Dramatic Art, which is currently housed
in Graham Memorial, will be relocated

“Wefelt there was a strong
needfor this type of facility.
The center will be open not
just for honors students but
for all students. ”
MILES FLETCHER
Assistant Dean of the Honors Program
to Paul Green Theatre in 1998.
“We felt there was a strong need for
this type of facility,” Fletcher said. “The
center will be open not just for honors
students but for all students.”
Graham Memorial served as the Stu
dent Union until 1968. An oak-paneled
lounge was the focal point of the building
and will be restored in the new center.
The lounge has fireplaces, chairs and
deep plush carpeting, which make it re
semble a living room. Funding for the
renovations has come entirely from pri
vate sources and donations, Fletcher said.
On Wednesday, the Kresge Founda
tion awarded the University a $600,000
grant. The University must raise an addi
tional $l.B million to receive the grant.
To date, the $5.7 million privately funded
project has secured $3.3 million.
For the Record
In the Aug. 30 article, ‘Critics: Dole
doesn't focus on higher education,’ Kirti
Shastri should have been credited with
saying that student aid had suffered harsh
funding cuts while Bob Dole was in the
Senate.
The Aug. 30 article, ‘Race Relations,"
should have stated that the Race for the
Cure is sponsored by the Susan 6. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the errors.
