4The Daily Tar Heel Monday, September 12, 1988 Food market offers By ELLEN THORNTON Staff Writer f you would rather not eat Granny Smith apples that came JLLfrom Chile or use cosmetics that have been tested on animals, check out the hew market in Carr Mill Mall. ( The Weaver Street Market is not the average grocery store. It con tains many of the same departments but offers a different twist. t The produce manager often jug gles apples. A nutrition consultant advises customers about vitamins. Signs posted over the products inform shoppers of the food's origin or nutritional value. Shopper? have an alternative to the processed foods of unknown origin found in many grocery stores. Instead, the market carries fresh, natural, healthy foods many of which are locally grown. Area farmers supply most of the produce for the market, a plus for farmers and consumers. These fresh foods have not been touched by chemicals or processed in any way. The milk is unhomogenized and sold in recyclable glass bottles. The cheese is unpasteurized and fish is brought directly from the coast twice each week. The market, while emphasizing freshness and nutrition, also consid ers the origin of the product. For example, most Granny Smith apples found in other stores come from Chile or South Africa. But because the market's produce buyers do not agree with the "inhumane" actions of these countries, they purchase Granny Smith apples from Washington. "Food production and consump tion is not a neutral thing," said Ruffin Slater, general manager of the market. "We can make choices about where we get our food and how it is packaged. You won find this in a regular grocery store." Policy from page 1 mations, however, tend to stand behind liquor-by-the-drink. "Liquor is still a problem, but you can't cure it through external govern ment controls," said the Rev. David Stanford, associate minister for campus ministry at the Chapel of the Cross. Stanford, who is Episcopalian, said the problems of drunk driving and alcohol abuse were best addressed through counseling and education, not government restrictions. DsfoSt from page 1 ization to proceed," he said. "We're working with the architects now. Once we're through with the design work, well begin taking bids from private contractors." Everett, Lewis, Manly and Grimes residence halls have already been renovated. Ruffin and Mangum are closed for renovations now. Once the Stacy project is completed, Aycock and Graham will be closed and renovated, Kuncl said. The project will be financed with funds from the housing department's operating and reserve accounts, Kuncl said. Sooners from page 12 did we see on Saturday? Well, the Sooners were split on how successful the option is at the beginning of the season. Holieway pegged it as a nine on a scale of 1-10. Stafford was a little more disappointed. He said the option was only working at 80 percent of its capacity. Either way, it was actually kind of sad to watch. The Tar Heel defense usually got to the right place at the right time, but then Oklahoma's superior athletic talents took over. Holieway or Thompson would throw that little switch that allowed them to zip past a befuddled Tar Heel defender and churn up some yardage. That OU only attempted six passes all day says something. They punted (seven times) more than they passed. But that is not unusual for an Oklahoma team. There was just no reason for them to pass. Stafford explained his perception of the results. "I'd say we are happy, but not satisfied (with the option)," he said. "It's not clicking, and it's not 100 percent yet. I didn't think our line was going to be able to move their big guys up front, and I was really surprised at the size of some of the holes they opened up in the middle of the line." So maybe Saturday wasn't a good example of what the Sooners are going to do this year. They made some mistakes, and they have a lot of fine-tuning to do before their season can take off. Yes, Oklahoma will win some games this year by outrageous scores like 95-2. But the real test will come against the Top 10 teams they face. Oklahoma can slowly beat teams into the ground with the option, and for any team to beat them this year, it will have to find a way to either stop the Sooners from getting to the outside, where their speed will take over, or develop an offense that can put 60 points on the board. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, they had neither. DTHTony Mansfield Chris van Daalen stacks produce at the new Weaver Street Market in Carrboro Another thing you wont find in a regular grocery store is community ownership. Weaver Street Market is owned by the people who work and shop there. Shoppers who own a share receive a discount on grocer ies, while share-holding workers receive a percentage of the profits. All shareholders may vote for the Board of Directors and run for office. The goal of this system is to make the store beneficial to workers and -shoppers, Slater said. Since each person can only buy one share, everyone has an equal part in the business. If you don't have the desire to buy a share or if you don't have the time or ability to prepare your own meal, the Weaver Street Market has some thing else to attract you. The market 137 E.

CENTER 4r UNC organization ives students look at advertising By MYRNA MILLER Staff Writer tudents interested in practi cal advertising experience, including actually becom ing a part of an advertising . agency, should look into the UNC American Advertising Fed eration (AAF). One of the main functions of AAF is to serve as an advertising agency in a national competition, said Janine Manolovich, presi dent of the UNC chapter and a senior journalism advertising major from Wilkesboro. The club enters the competition as a group and only AAF members may participate. "During the annual national v competition, the club is given a product to represent," she said. "This year it will be a new poten tial cereal for Kellogg's. We start with research, do the creative work and eventually present the product at district competition." The UNC club represented Nestle last year and placed second in district competition behind the University of South Carolina (USC), Manolovich said. USC then placed fifth in the nation. The company represented by the national winner often decides to use their ideas, she said. "The advantage for students who join the club and help with -the competition is recognition," Manolovich said. "The judges of the competition are members of the larger agencies, and they are looking for prospective employees." . Students should join the club because of a desire to get the practical experience the club pro vides, Manolovich said. The club also sponsors an (oimitfiimTiiies, RESTAURANT 708 W.

The federation is a group of professionals, all more than 30 years old, who give the students a hint about what is really going on in the world, she said. J In addition, AAF is the spon sor of Alpha Delta Sigma, an honorary society for advertising majors. To be inducted into the society, a student must first be a member of AAF. AAF, in its third year at UNC, represents all aspects of the advertising industry, Manolovich said. Any student can join AAF; the club is not only for advertis ing majors. ' , Students are not required to work on the competition. The club has many standing commit tees that need help, she added. Club members will also sponsor a contest for creating a T-shirt design and a new logo for AAF. Once students graduate, or even while they are still in school; they may become a member of. the Ad 2 Club, a group of adver tising professionals less than 30 years old, she said. The Ad 2 Club is the club level between the AAF and the Triangle Advertis ing Federation. AAF will have its kick-off meeting with a pizza party Tues day at 6 p.m. in Room 203 of Howell Hall.
