Fver get really tired of doing the same old things
day in and day out? Looking for something exciting,
different and fun to do?
The Chapel Hill and Carrboro Parks and Recrea
tion Departments provide many facililties, activities
and special events for people of all ages and needs.
The Carrboro system is made up of 82 acres of
parks: Carrboro Community Park, Wilson Park,
Carrboro Elementary Park, Baldwin Park, Simpson
Street Triangle and Brewer's Lane Mini-Park. All are
open from 7 a.m. until dark, except for the lighted
Wilson Park and Carrboro Community Park, which
close at II p.m.
Athletic fields, basketball courts, tennis courts,
picnic shelters and tables, and playgrounds can be
found in the Carrboro system. These facilities are open
to the general public.
A two-member staff handles maintenance of the
Carrboro parks. "1 think we do pretty well with the
staff we have," said Richard Kinney, Carrboro parks
superintendent. uWe only have one problem. The
parks get a lot heavier use during the weekend, so
there is much more trash there by Sunday. Our men
only work five days a week, so there is a glaring need
for weekend trash pick-up."
There have been no problems with safety in the
Carrboro parks, Kinney said, adding that this includes
both park equipment and the threat of personal attack.
uWe have no need for a park ranger system," Kinney
said. "The police do a fine job of keeping our parks
safe."
The Carrboro Parks and Recreation Department
will sponsor many classes, special events and athletics
from October until December.
Classes in karate, piano, belly dance, aerobic dance,
fitness and tai chi will be offered for a small fee,
which help defray program costs.
Special activities, such as bingo afternoons and
movies at lunchtime, will be held for older adults
(55 and up).
Activities for children include tumbling and
preschool music classes. Programs for the physically
handicapped will include a Halloween carnival and
a wheelchair tennis class.
Youth basketball, men's and women's basketball
leagues and the Carrboro I OK race are on the roster
for fall athletic activities.
Chapel Hill can boast of eight parks which offer
tennis courts, lighted athletic fields, playgrounds, a
swimming pool, nature trails and picnic areas. Cedar
Fall Park, Hargraves Park, Umstead Park, Ephesus
Park, Jones Park, Phillips Park, Oakwood Park and
Burlington Boulevard make up 135 acres of land for
public use. Park hours are 6 a.m. to 1 1 p.m.
The Chapel Hill parks are maintained by a staff
of eight people, who are divided into a buildings
maintenance group and a grounds maintainance
group. "The workmen are on a very tight schedule,"
said Mike Loveman, Chapel Hill parks superintend
ent. "The more frequently-used park areas are
patrolled more than other areas. The men work seven
days a week, but we're still spread out pretty thinly."
Loveman said all park equipment is formally
checked for safety once a week. This includes lawn
mowers, park-owned autos and playground equip
ment. The public works department does much of
the repair on equipment, especially on trucks, he said.
There have been several cases of vandalism and
rape in the Chapel Hill parks during the last three
years, said Loveman. r
"Two rapes and several attempted rapes have
occurred in the Umstead Park area," he said. "I think
this is because of the great number of people living
close by. There are lots of apartments around the
area..
"These attacks occurred before the new lighting
system was installed," he said.
The Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department
tries to correct all acts of vandalism within 24 hours,
said Loveman. In cases where this cannot be done,
the vandalized area is roped off until it can be repaired.
"We have taken special measures in the last year
to improve the safety of our parks," said Loveman.
"We have added or improved lighting in two parks.
We urge people, especially women, not to walk the
nature trails alone.
. "We try to notify the police of special problem areas,
such as parking lots and the nature trails, to watch.
We have lighted Umstead Park exceptionally well.
But you can only light a park so much and still have
a park atmosphere."
The Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department
will offer activities for older adults, children, college
students and the handicapped throughout fall.
Subjects for classes will include adult fitness,
English smocking, adult pottery, lifeguard training
and adult tennis. As in Carrboro, niinimal fees will
be charged to help with program costs.
Senior citizens can enjoy activities such as bridge,
a bus trip to see the British art treasures on loan
in Washington, D.C., chess and a genealogy research
group.
Children and teens may participate in lacrosse
lessons, ballet, pottery making and framemaking.
Activities for the handicapped will include a fitness
class, swimming classes, bowling and meetings for the
visually impaired.
Fall athletics include boy's and girl's basketball
leagues, co-rec volleyball and tennis doubles league.

at 968-7703 or the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation
Department at 968-2784.
Minority Career IFm to expose ob opportunities
By ROBERT KEEFE
Staff Writer
"Looking ahead to your future" will
be the theme of the fifth annual
Minority Career Fair to be held
Tuesday from noon to 5 p.m. in the
Great Hall of the Carolina Union.
The fair, sponsored by University
Career Planning and Placement Ser
vice, will consist of 66 different busi
nesses, including: Xerox, IBM, CBS,
Duke Power and Proctor & Gamble.
"In the past, minority students had
not been exposed to career opportun
ities," said Marian Holmes, placement
counselor for health, sciences and social
work with the Career Planning and
Placement Service.
While students cannot expect to be
hired at the career fair, it allows them
to meet with perspective employers and
discuss possible job opportunities, she
said.
"The career fair is a network system
that provides information between
students and employers," said Holmes.
"It allows students to talk to employers
about academic qualifications, training
and so forth."
The fair is expected to attract about
300 to 400 students.
Following the Minority Career Fair
will be the second annual Carolina
Career Day, from noon to 5 p.m. Oct.
30 in the Great Hall. It will be composed
of approximately 75 businesses in eight
major fields including banking and
finance, communications, computers,
consumer products, government and
Development planus begin
for 800-acre state forest
By CHARLES N. FERNANDEZ
Staff Writer
Planning' is underway for the devel-opmcnt-gfan
80Qacre-state f orestniear
Jordan Lake in Chatham County, a
state forestry official said.
Joe Hogue Jr., small state forest
administrator, said the new state forest,
which is to open by the spring of 1987,
could become the most popular state
forest in North Carolina. "So many
people go to the state parks in the area
that the state forest could provide them
an alternative during their stay," he said.
Unlike a state park that provides
beaches and water recreation, Hogue
said a state forest is an educational
facility. He said the forest would
provide 14 different programs school
teachers could use to educate their
classes in forest appreciation, forest
conservation and forest environment.
Hogue said teachers could earn credit
hours by attending workshops con
ducted at the state forest. Schools would
not be the Only benefactor of the state '
r forest; Hogue said, but the public could
also become more acquainted with the
forest.
Hogue said the state forest, which
would be located north of U.S. 64 on
State Road 1715, would have a forestry
center, 25 picnic tables and feature
"talking trees" to educate visitors about
the forest. The state forest will also
provide large group camping areas, he
said.
According to Hogue, the Legislature
has granted $400,000 to develop the
state forest. This money, he said, would
be used to build shelters, restrooms and
picnic areas. Hogue said he was hoping
for another $400,000 from the Legis
lature to cover the remaining cost of
developing the forest.

ing the minority fair will remain for the
career day.
Holmes said the minority fair and the
careers day are not just for seniors and
juniors. She said freshmen and soph
mores should attend the events to gain
contacts in their prospective careers.

Financing for both the minority fair
and the career day is received from
registration fees, paid by the visiting
businesses, according to Sharon Wiatt,
assistant director of the Career Planning
and Placement service.
"We charge a registration fee of $ 100
to $150 per business, depending on the
size of the business," she said.
hunt best comes last
By GARRET WEYR
Staff Vriter
There is a line from the Rolling
Stones song "Ruby Tuesday" that
goes "Lose your dreams, and you will
lose your mind. Ain't life unkind?"
It could well be the motto of
Susan, the tortured heroine of
Plenty, a new movie based on David
Hare's Broadway play. Susan (Meryl
Streep) is frustrated with her job, her
personal life and above all, herself.
Nothing in her life has measured up
to the idealistic hopes she had during
her stint as a courier in the French
resistance movement.
When Susan talks of the war, she
is really referring to a man with
whom she had had a very brief fling.
The man, Lazar (Sam Neill), was an
agent who parachuted down into the
area where Streep and her colleagues
were picking up supplies. The sound
of Lazar's parachute coming down
recurs throughout the movie (dis
guised as the sound of making up
beds or digging coal) much like the
echo in A Passage to India.
In Passage, the echo symbolized
the effect India had on the uptight
Englishwoman Miss Quested. In
Plenty, the sound represents Susan's
perpetual hunt for that time, that
place and quite incidentally, that
man.
The movie covers the entire span
of Susan's marriage to an earnest and
decent diplomat (Charles Dance)
who continually fails in his efforts
to reach his wife. Dance, like the
character he portrays, cannot hold
his own against Streep Susan. Their
courtship is long and difficult,
complicated by Susan's best friend
Alice (Tracey Ullman) and lower
class lover (Sting).
cinema
If it is possible to steal a movie
from an actress who is on screen 95
percent of the time, then Ullman
steals this one from Streep. Her
entrance is classic: she strides into
her office, which is full of button
down types, wearing what is clearly
a lover's blue suit. When her boss
begins to stutter, she says, "Think
what his boss is going to say: 'Your
hemline's too short, dear.'"
The physical and emotional dif
ferences between Streep and Ullman
give Plenty much of its depth and
interest. Streep is unquestionably
beautiful in a patrician blonde way.
Ullman, a short brunette, almost
melts the screen with her vibrancy
and zest for life. While Susan
screams at the walls and at her
husband about her unhappiness,
Alice runs through men and jobs like
a kid in a candy shop.
Although, thanks to the parachute
sounds, Susan's problem is never
elusive, the movie, like Susan, seems
to be all over the map emotionally.
Plenty's most moving scene is its last
which provides the film's missing
focus.
At the end of the war, a young
Susan stands in a sunlit field with
her hair making a halo. She posi
tively glows as she tells a French
peasant how wonderful people, life
and England are going to be, now
that the war is over. The scene,
coming at the close of two hours of
misery and disappointment, is heart
breaking and sets Plenty apart from
all current competition.
