Margaret Brown said.
Carrboro’s plan includes maintaining
open space in residential areas while
concentrating density in mixed-use
development villages. It also includes
restrictions against development in for
est areas and around major roads to pre
serve the land’s scenic nature, Carrboro
planner Patricia McGuire said.
“We’re talking about taking density
away from the areas we want to protect
and putting it in places that can support
more density,” Mayor Mike Nelson said.
Carrboro has also set up “good neigh
bor standards,” which would control
lighting, parking, noise and related
issues in commercial development so
they can be tied in to residential space.

these issues, the county had concerns to
address before the plan is finalized and
opened for public hearing.
Orange County Planning Director
Craig Benedict said the county wanted
to save space for recreation parks.
There are also concerns about ade
quate roads and transportation for the
newly developed areas, he said.
Alderman Alex Zaffron said the
boards needed to complete the plan so
they could introduce it to the residents
who were needed to make it work.
Zaffron said, “I think in order to build
community support, it’s time to open
this process up.”

twelve in track and field. This year Heather earned honors on the All Southeast
District team and played an integral role in helping the Tar Heels to a second place
finish in the ACC. Asa biology major, Heather volunteered last summer at a
community hospital, and she looks to take the MCAT in April. Her hard study habits
have earned Heather the honor of being a Scholar Athlete and being placed on the

and evidence, like skid marks, do not
prove that the driver was traveling on a
public road, then DWI laws are hard to
enforce.
Pressley said this legal philosophy
came from the way the state granted
driver’s licenses. He said the state
allowed people to drive as long as they
obeyed the laws but could only place
restrictions on streets that were main
tained and regulated by the state or a
municipality.
He said single-owner homes were
almost always private. But if the house
had an apartment built on to it, it was
closer to public. And if the house had a
multi-dwelling apartment with a drive
way for tenants to use, that was closer
still to public.
As for the Zeta house accident,
Pressley said that was somewhere in the
middle. “This is in the area between the
single house and public area,” he said.

COMPUTER
From Page 3
Caison said protecting the computers
in the computer labs had not been a
problem. “The virus was a minimal
problem for us since Norton came out
with the anti-virus,” he said.
Graham said anyone with questions
should contact the IT Resource Center.
“The best thing to do is for people to
call here and go to our shareware page
and update their anti-virus system.”

WOMEN'S RUGBY
From Page 3
Creech said that she could not get
enough of the sport. “You get small
injuries here and there, but rugby is by
far the most addictive sport I’ve ever
played,” she said.
Asa full contact sport, rugby
involves no padding and a lot of tack
ling while players try to advance the
ball into the opponent’s end zone.
“It’s a mixture of soccer and foot
ball,” Edgerton said. “To score, you
have to touch the ball to the ground.”
Edgerton credited some of the
team’s success to its size. “Because our
school is so big, we get a lot of girls to
play, and we can keep a lot of girls.”
But an abundance of players is not
the only reason the team has done
well, team members said.
Creech said, “We have a really ded
icated coaching staff and a lot of indi
vidual ability.”
Creech said that without Calhoun
and the assistant coaches, the women
would not have met such success.
Exigerton said she was pleased with
the performance of her team this year.
“Rugby is a great sport, and we have
all done really well.”
