2 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2005 Field space grows with new synthetic turf Ehringhaus field will return to use BY DANIEL WILKES STAFF WRITER Years after student government called for more useful field space, intramural and club teams will soon be playing on brand new turf fields. The project to refurbish Ehringhaus field and Hooker fields 3 and 4 with synthetic turf will cost the University around $2 million but will create an invaluable asset for students, said Marty Pomerantz, director of campus recreation. The three fields will join Hooker 1 and 2 as the only year-round, all weather playing fields for nonvar sity sports. Ehringhaus field after serving more than two years as a staging area for the Ramshead construc tion project is now being cov ered with artificial grass. It should be ready for play at the end of next week, Pomerantz said. ■ Chapel Hill police are inves tigating a series of incidents that took place Wednesday on Fordham Boulevard that could be related, said department spokeswoman Jane Cousins.

Pomerantz attributed the delay in Hooker 3 and 4 to past renovations of the School of Government build ing and the ongoing construction of the Eddie Smith Fieldhouse. Matt Tepper, the 2003-04 stu dent body president, who initiated the push for better field space, said he wished the project had been completed during his tenure. “We wanted them finished as soon as possible because all rec reational teams were practicing on two fields,” said Tepper. “I had friends that were having to practice at ll o’clock at night.” But Tepper said it’s better late then never. “Asa diehard Carolina fan, it is good to see things improving,” he said. “You’re always proud as an alumnus.” POLICE LOG broken into at the Holiday Inn with damage assessed at S3OO, police reports state.

Torry, arrested at 857 Martin Luther King Blvd., was referred to the police department by the Division of Social Services after a preschooler went to school with a black eye, Cousins said. Torry, whom Cousins identified as the preschooler’s acquaintance, While Pomerantz admits grass is a preferable playing surface, he said that without the luxury of rotating fields, the grass quickly deteriorates under heavy use. “It’s not a choice between grass and artificial turf,” Pomerantz said. “It’s the difference between mud and unsafe playing conditions, and beautiful, 24/7 synthetic grass.” Stacy Warner, director of sport clubs, said Ehringhaus field espe cially suffered because it was built on a flood plain. “After a really hard rain it would just sit on the field,” she said. “We’d have to close the fields down for two or three days until the condi tions were safe again.” Ehringhaus field will be the pri mary club team field when it comes online, Pomerantz said. After the completion of Hooker fields, field 3 will join Hooker 1 and 2 as the primary intramural fields, while 4, a nonregulation-size field, will be for shared multipurpose was released on a written promise to appear in Hillsborough Superior Court on Oct. 3. ■ A number of bicycles have been stolen from around the area: A bicycle was taken from the front porch of a residence on Creel Street, Chapel Hill police reports state.

Pomerantz also cited cost sav ings as a benefit of artificial grass. - “Over the long haul, the main tenance costs are a lot lower,” he said. “We’re not needing to mow or seed; it’s all done once and it’s permanent.” Pomerantz also praised the “top of-the-line” quality of the turf, say ing, “we’ll have some of the best artificial surfaces anywhere.” Although involved parties are pleased that there soon will be five turf fields for nonvarsity play, many still believe UNC needs more. “Ideally, for this size of a univer sity I’d like eight fields,” said Dustin Van Sloten, who oversees intramu ral sports. Asked whether UNC will have enough playable fields, Pomerantz said, “Absolutely not, we’ll still have a terrible shortage of fields.” Contact the University Editor at ndesk@U7ic.edu. ■ “Petals and Buds... pastels by- Patricia Savage” will be on display from 8 am. to 5 p.m. today, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Totten Center Classroom.
