Police report Halloween
tranquil on Franklin Street
Although more than 30,000 rambunc
tious, loudly dressed people crowded onto
a few blocks of Franklin Street on Hal
loween night, police reported few arrests
or disturbances.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro police and
officers from the Orange County Sheriffs
Department were on Franklin Street in
full force Thursday night, but had a rela
tively peaceful evening, said Jane Cous
ins, spokeswoman for the Chapel Hill
Police Department.
“There were very few problems, and it
was the largest crowd to date,” Cousins
said. She estimated that there were be
tween 30,000 to 35,000 people on
Franklin Street, although she said the
number was difficult to determine due to
people coming and leaving at various
times throughout the evening.
Cousins said Chapel Hill police re
ported some arrests for fighting, one ar
rest for possession of marijuana, one ar
rest for possession of alcohol by an un
derage drinker and one arrest for posses
sion of a mixed beverage by a person
under 21.
No damages or injuries were reported.
Cousins said she thought Chapel Hill’s
open-container ordinance, prohibiting
open containers of alcohol on public prop
erty, kept alcohol consumption and re
lated problems at a minimum. This was
the second Halloween the open-container
ordinance has been in effect.
John Simmons, district supervisor of
the Alcohol Law Enforcement agency,
said he also thought the open-container
ordinance helped prevent incidents on
Franklin Street this Halloween.
“There were more people this year
than last year,” Simmons said. “Asa
result, (the ordinance) lent itself to keep
ing Franklin Street calm.”
Simmons said there were no open
container violations, although he reported
40 arrests on a total of 56 alcohol-related
charges. A Wilco station on Airportßoad
and He’s Not Here, a bar on Franklin
Street, were cited with wrongful selling
of alcohol.
Despite these arrests and charges,
Simmons said the several ALE officers
on Franklin Street on Thursday night
had very little trouble.
“The crowd was very well behaved,”
he said. “If this is any indication, people
are able to keep themselves in line.”
Fraternity collects food
for homeless shelter
Students in the Gamma Nu chapter of
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity collected
more than 5,200 pounds of nonperish
able food items for the Fourth Annual
North American Food Drive. According
to a press release, the drive is the world’s
largest fraternity philanthropic event.
Fraternity members began the drive
two weeks ago, asking for donations from
Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents by
leaving letters and bags at their homes.
Donations were also collected on the
front porch of the Lambda Chi Alpha
house.
Students picked up the final donations
Saturday, the last day of the international
event. Scott Ogle, vice president of the
UNC chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha,
said residents’ response to the drive
yielded excellent results.
“We were really pleased with the par
ticipation in the community, and we want
to thank everybody who contributed,”
Ogle said.
The local chapter’s drive last year re
sulted in the collection of 3,000 pounds
of nonperishable food items. The total
collected this year surpassed the
fraternity’s goal of 5,000 pounds.
All proceeds from the food drive will
benefit the Inter-Faith Council Commu
nity House. Ogle said the IFC food bank
would continue to accept further dona
tions.

Faculty: new rewards
needed for teaching
■ Faculty members thought
their roles as teachers
needed clearer definition.
BY LEAH HANEY
STAFF WRITER
Professors discussed Friday the lack
of priority by faculty members in pro
moting an intellectual climate and sug
gested ways to reward professors for fos
tering a better atmosphere.
The Faculty Roles and Rewards Sub
committee of the Chancellor’s Task Force
on Intellectual Climate discussed the
current faculty rewards system and
brainstormed new ways to recognize and
reward faculty who take time to foster an
intellectual climate on campus.
Political science Professor George
Rabinowitz said interacting with students
in a mentoring role was often seen as
service rather than a teaching function.
“Abetter description of the teaching func
tion would be a major step in finding
rewards,” he said.
Rabinowitz said one-on-one interac
tion took a great deal of time. Faculty
need rewards and incentives for that kind
of time commitment to students, he said.
The roles and rewards committee,
which is composed entirely of faculty,
suggested encouraging faculty to interact
with other disciplines in classes to foster

professor in the Department ofßeligious
Studies, said otheruniversities with highly
charged intellectual climates encouraged
cross-departmental interaction.
The members also discussed the per
ception of many students that faculty
members do not expect students to be
involved in intellectual pursuits.
“It is stunning to hear students saying
that faculty are killing their interest with
low expectations," said Darryl Gless,
professor in the Department of English.
The committee decided public rela
tion efforts should be improved to inform
students of faculty involvement and ex
pectations for students.
Task force members also discussed
ways to build rewards into the current
system to provide incentives for faculty
to become involved.
The committee suggested reallocating
funds to allow deans or provosts to hold
back funds to use as rewards for faculty
efforts within disciplines. They also sug
gested promoting donations to be used to
stimulate the intellectual climate, and
not just for people or departments.
The professors also explored rewards
that are not financial in nature. Recog
nizing faculty efforts by giving prestige to
those who engage in them would be seen
as a type of reward. The committee sug
gested encouraging faculty to pursue an
intellectual climate with students as an
activity equal to research or publication.

Petty: I’m more than just a NASCAR legend
Due to transportation problems, The Daily Tar Heel was not able to
spend a day with Richard Petty's campaign.
BY AMANDA GREENE
STAFF WRITER
In his bid to be the first Republican secretary of state this
century, Richard Petty has spent the better part of his year
traveling across the state to tell voters about his politics.
“I’m always taking pictures and signing autographs, but my
problem is convincing my voters that Richard Petty is more
than just the race car driver,” Petty said. “We feel good about
the fact that a lot of people are getting to know what I’m all
about.”
Petty, who is running against Elaine Marshall, said his main
focus was getting his voters to understand that his politics have
no connection to his 34-year racing career.
He explained that the publicity factor is higher for him than
most candidates because of his fame in racing, but he also said
he hoped more people were recognizing him for his politics.
“I’m not bothered by the fact that people know me as a driver
first, but I just want my voters to know that I am the most
competent person for my office,” he said.
Petty spoke about restoring integrity to the Office of Secre
tary of State and bringing more improvements by way of
economic development and an increase in technology.
“I think I have experience to run the office because ofmy 16
years as a Randolph County Commissioner,” Petty said. “The
office also needs modernizing because it has been too long in
the crippled state that it’s in, and I intend to compact excess
spending to do that.”
The Office of the Secretary of State has lost respectability
over the years, and complacency has been a part of state
government for too long. Petty said.
“The integrity of this office has gone way down,” he said.
“This can not continue.”
Petty said public relations as well as business integration in
the Office of Secretary of State is needed to improve North
Carolina.
“Being a good P R. man is what the state needs right now,”
Petty said “That’s what I do ... P.R., signing T-shirts and
giving autographs. I’m perfect for the job.”
When asked about the kinds of voters who have approached
him, Petty said many different types of people had shown
interest in his campaign.

records 10th
rabies case
■ Two infected raccoons
w r ere found by Orange
County residents.
STAFF REPORT
Orange County Animal Control offi
cials confirmed Friday the ninth and 10th
cases of rabies since July.
According to an Orange County Ani
mal Control press release, both of the
Hillborough cases involved raccoons.
One was found at a residence on Guess
Road and another at the Cedar Grove
Golf Course.
The residential case involved a rac
coon that either fell or jumped over two
dogs’ fence. The dogs’ owner noticed the
raccoon in the fence and went to inspect
the situation, Orange County Animal
Control Director John Sauls said.
Sauls said the dogs’ owner covered the
live raccoon with a trash can, thus ensur
ing his own safety as well as protecting
his dogs from being exposed. The owner
then alerted Animal Control officials.
“For some unknown reason, the rac
coon will make an effort to crawl over the
fence to get to the dogs; it’s nuts,” Sauls
said. “A trash can is a great thing to arm
yourself with. He didn’t risk exposure to
himself.”
The dogs involved were not in imme
diate danger of contracting rabies, since
their vaccinations were current. How
ever, the dogs were revaccinated as a
precaution.
The second case was reported after an
employee ofthe Cedar Grove Golf Course
noted a raccoon staggering on the greens.
The employee shot the raccoon, then
picked the animal up by the tail using
only a paper towel for protection, Sauls
said.
The employee was advised by animal
control officials to seek medical attention
for exposure to rabies.
Residents who think they might have
found a dead rabid animal should not
touch or disturb the animal, Sauls said.
Instead, residents should call the Orange
County Animal Control office or 911.
If the animal is still alive, Sauls sug
gested placing a bucket or a trash can
over the animal to contain it until help
can arrive.
Orange County Animal Control offi
cials also advise in an effort to prevent
their pets from being exposed to rabies
without their knowledge that owners not
let their dogs roam at night.
To aid in the efforts to vaccinate ani
mals against rabies, animal control offi
cials are sponsoring a reduced-price vac
cination clinic. The clinics will be held
Saturday at the Orange County Animal
Shelter on Airport Road from 1 p.m. to 3
p.m The cost is $5. Clinics will also be
held in Hillsborough.
The committee is aiming to create
open and accessible space for students to
interact in a positive way.

models for renovation and implement
