Washington politics will serve him
well in his new role.
“We feel extremely fortunate
that we could lure him back,
because he was outstanding when
he was here,” Blank said.
“He has a vision of where he
wants this university to go. He has
the knowledge and ability to put
that together.”

His remarks drew cheers from
the large black contingent. After
several such outbursts, Mayor
Kevin Foy requested that people
abstain from clapping, evoking a
resounding, “thank you” from
those against the renaming.
Other citizens referenced the
importance of having such a dedi
cation to King in the current polit
ical and social climate.
Stephen Deer, who works for
People of Faith Against the Death
Penalty, said that he felt compelled
to speak after roughly $3,500 of
computer equipment was stolen
that very day from his office. “I see a
connection between crime and our
values,” he said. “And I see naming a
road ‘Martin Luther King Road’ as
a proclamation of our values.”
But such values were called into
question in an anonymous letter
submitted to all council members.
The letter called King an adulterer,
stating, “King is by far the most

Doug Cline, a battalion chief
with the Chapel Hill department,
added that such downtown fires
are difficult to fight because they
occur in oddly shaped, aging
buildings that are all connected.
“The size of them and the shape
of some of them pose some unique
problems,” he said, adding that
some Franklin Street edifices
reach more than 200 feet behind
their storefronts.
Standing across the street from
the smoky storefront of Salon 135,
Alan Corpus stood surveying the
damage in a white, sleeveless
shirt.
Corpus, the salon’s owner,
looked tired but alert. He said fire
fighters called him at about 3:45
a.m. and informed him about the
situation, after which he arrived at
the scene.
He added that he was wonder
ing “whether my business is going
to maintain running” and said
interruption of business would
likely be worse than losing the
basic supplies stored within the
salon.
“I can’t imagine what could
have caused (the fire),” he said.
After the first reports of the fire
trickled in, police rerouted traffic
on the 100 block of East Franklin
Street from the post office to

He said he isn’t concerned about

Laughs, love at heart of manic ‘Shrek’ sequel
BY JENNIFER SAMUELS
SENIOR WRITER
In the kingdom of Far Far Away,
Prince Charming wears a hair net,
fairy tale princesses offer tours of
their homes and happiness is only
a teardrop away.
From the palm trees to the
Farbucks on every comer, the king
dom in “Shrek 2” is the computer
animated equivalent of Hollywood.
Much like the real place, conform
ity and fitting in are essential.
It’s unfortunate, then, that the
kingdom’s most eligible bache
lorette married a giant green ogre.
“Shrek 2” takes this outline and
crafts a fairly predictable comedy
of errors.
That’s not necessarily a bad
thing. Though it’s obvious from the
beginning that Shrek and Fiona
are meant to be, there are enough
plot twists to keep things interest
ing. The film is rife with detail,

Shelton said the fight for TA
salaries will have to continue
because the TAs work hard, and
the University needs to be compet

Student government, the GSPF

worked closely together.

Bushman said.
“It’s very nice at UNC that the
administration and students work
together,” she said.

from assassination attempts to
family feuds to little vials of a love
potion labeled “9” —and a pletho
ra of new characters to keep the
audience engaged.
“Shrek 2” successfully avoids the
failures that befall most sequels
because it’s accessible enough for
children to enjoy while still main
taining sophisticated humor
geared toward adults.
In this fantasy land, Pinocchio
wears women’s underwear, and
catnip is a controlled substance.
Producers also demonstrate
respect for adults by recruiting A
list talent, including Julie Andrews
and John Cleese as Fiona’s parents,
to round out the cast.
They were particularly deft in
good job of listening and articulat
ing needs.”
Efushman also attributes the
raises to the impact made by both
the task force and graduate
school.
She said TA raises would allow
the University to attract the best
graduate students, since they look
at not only tuition but also how
they would be reimbursed.
Consequently, the raises would
have a big impact on undergradu
ate students since TAs teach a high
percentage of undergraduate
courses.
“It’s great for the whole
University to be honest,” Bushman
said.

casting Antonio Banderas as would
be feline assassin Puss In Boots, an
overblown reflection of Banderas’
portrayal of the title character in
“The Mask of Zorro.” Puss’ attempt
to seem tough while coughing up a
hairball is one of the film’s best
comedic moments.
But in the frantic quest to cram
as much into an hour and a half as
possible, “Shrek 2” loses some of
the heart that made the original
film so moving. The movie is bloat
ed with new characters, and giving
each one adequate screen time
takes away from the dynamic ban
ter between Fiona and Shrek.
It gets to a point that, when
Donkey and Puss finally break into
song at the end, the only viable
option is to put your head in your
hands and curse the decision to
remake an overexposed pop song.
The film finally has become so
saturated with pop culture refer-
Bushman also said salary
increases would enable TAs to fin
ish degrees in a timely manner.
Many TAs said they often have
to work more than one job to sup
port themselves.
Laura Fielden, a graduate stu
dent in the romance languages
department, said she held four jobs
during fall semester and three dur
ing the spring.
“It’s hard students are mak
ing SIO,OOO a year, often support
ing themselves, and have another
job,” Bushman said. “They need
more income.”
