At about 10:08 a.m., an unidentified person, who police believe to be the same person involved in the first bur glary, broke the entrance door of the restaurant. Damage to the glass door was esti mated at SSOO. The suspect or suspects also stole SIOO from the cash register, reports state. According to police reports, the final break-in occurred at Owen’s 501 Diner, located at 1500 Fordham Blvd., about 1:40 p.m. The burglar broke down the door and took over S3OO and some credit cards from the restaurant. “We believe the cases are connected because of the time period and the vicinity of the crimes,” Cousins said. Police said they did not believe this wave of break-ins was related to the recent armed robberies. Police are also investigating three separate armed robbery incidents that occurred in a span of three days in both Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Police officers said there is no connection between the robberies, one of which left a man hospitalized. The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. University & City Aldermen OK Carr Mill Rezoning A resolution passed by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen allows developers to build single-room complexes. By Jenny Stepp Staff Writer The Carrboro Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday to approve a measure that would lay the foundations for more affordable housing in Carrboro. The board also approved Weaver Street market renovations and donated money to a life-saving piece of equip ment for the fire department. The affordable housing provision, which allows the creation of a single room occupancy classification for com plexes in Carrboro, received unanimous approval from the board. Mark Dorosin, who was elected last week but has not yet taken his seat on the board, said he was supportive of the measure, which would help improve Students Boycott Kraft Foods Students signed petitions and called Kraft in protest of the company's affiliation with Philip Morris. By Kim Minugh Staff Writer More than 60 students called Kraft Foods representatives from a cell phone in the Pit on Tuesday to voice their com plaints about Kraft products. Wearing a cardboard pack of ciga rettes labeled “Krafty Macaroni & Cheese: Boycott Kraft,” INFACT grass roots organizer Lyndy Worsham was joined by student representatives to denounce Kraft for funneling money to its owner, Philip Morris. INFACT criticizes Philip Morris, the world’s largest and most profitable tobacco organization, for designing ad campaigns appealing to children. INFACT is a national organization founded in 1977 that holds national cor porations accountable for perpetuating life-threatening abuses.

National Call-In Day aligned with the College Retirement Equities Fund’s annual meeting in New York City. CREF, consisting of educators and par ents, is the single-largest institutional investor in Philip Morris. CREF voted on whether to divest its tobacco stocks in light of the controver sy over Philip Morris’ ad campaigns. Senior Seth Landau was one of the students who used the available cell phone to call Kraft foods. “I think it’s pretty disgusting that tobacco companies advertise to children just for the sake of profit,” Landau said. rected. “There is a real need (for afford able housing) for people who are by themselves and don’t need much space and don’t have much money,” she said. Gist said the board would also need to assure the housing was of appropriate quality, “not little hell-holes that no one would want to live in.” The board also approved a change to the conditional use permit held by Can- Mill Mall to construct a porch along the Weaver Street Market annex and allow for the renovation of Weaver Street Market’s interior. The former Aurora restaurant space will also be renovated. Alderman Allen Spalt said the changes would be a great improvement to the existing Carr Mill facility. “Weaver Street is a tremendous asset to the town,” he said. “Wfrat they’re proposing will make the facility even more a part of the town.” Dorosin said he was enthusiastic about the changes. “I am actually really looking forward to the completion of those renovations,” he said. “I think it will be really beneficial to the commu “I think it’s very important that peo ple are aware of the issue. (Tobacco companies) need to know that students won’t take it.” Freshman Paul Jang said he did not believe that UNC student input would make much impact. Even so, he said he felt it was important to make the call. “We’d be nowhere in the world if everyone thought one person couldn’t make a difference. Every bit helps,” he said. Some students were more skeptical of the boycott. Sophomore Stanley Olshefski criticized the logic of the cam paign against Kraft. “I don’t think it proves anything,” he said. “(The protesters) try to make the argument that Kraft supports (tobacco companies), but it’s just Philip Morris giving money to itself.” Despite such challenges, Worsham remained optimistic about the potential of student protest. She cited the momen tum that can come from student move ments. “Traditionally, all social change movements have come from students.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. (Eh?

Crabtree served as a captain in the Carrboro Fire Department The board approved the allocation of $5,000 for the Carrboro Fire Department toward the purchase of a thermal-imaging camera in Crabtree’s memory. The thermal camera, which will allow firefighters to see through smoke more effectively, is a product fire fighters said was a luxury any depart ment would be lucky to have. The camera, which has been on the Fire Department’s wish-list for several years, senses heat emitted from objects and generates an image that helps fire fighters reach people who may be trapped in a building. The Fire Department has held several fund-rais ers to be able to purchase five cameras, one for each of Carrboro’s five stations. The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
