The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, November 2, 19885 Com mi coo OCC llaoo purchase for park oeve n. op me milt j The residents in adiacent neighbor- u u By JESSICA LANNING Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council has approved the purchase of a 36-acre tract of land that will be added to existing land and developed into a park. The town council authorized the purchase of the land for $20,000 at its meeting Oct. 24. Funds from the 1986 Open Space Bond will be used to make the purchase. - The property borders Little Creek and lies next to the Briarcliff and Oaks subdivisons. It will be added Blind Dates to bring By ASHLEY CAMPBELL Staff Writer The Blind Dates, a female trio from Charlotte, will be playing tonight at Magdalena's La Terraza. The Dates, who have been playing together in North and South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida for about two years, have released a self produced tape and had a song featured on a N.C. compilation tape. "We shy away from categoriza tion," said Penny Craver, the band's drummer."If we have to describe our music, we like to say that it's smart, muscular pop and roll. Pop doesn't mean the Bangles, but many of our songs are danceable." All it takes is one listen of their tape to agree with Craver, the Dates Carrington says business expertise qualifies him for secretary of state By DAVID BALL Staff Writer State government employees should represent more vocations than just lawyers, so John Carrington's PSperience as a businessman qualifies ftm for the office of secretary of state, tje Republican candidate said at a .College Republicans meeting Tues $ay night. X Government should be open to everyone who seeks an office, Car rington said. Even though he has not served in state government and is relatively unknown, the electorate should not vote against him, he said, v Carrington built a small business into a major business through hard work, he said. "I'm not a genius," he said. "The Lord didn't look down upon me and say, John Carrington, you're it. There's only one way I know how to do things, and that's to work harder, more dedication, and disci pline and that's exactly what I did." Carrington's experience; as a bus inessman selling law enforcement products gives him a way to break into politics without the stigma of inexperience, he said. "It permits me, if I want to, to take my resource, which happens to be financial, use it to open the door to get in the door and then do the job It's On Time Orlt'sOnUs. Comprehensive copv sen ice.

The property is now owned by the heirs of E.N. Richards. Richards was a major figure in the development of Chapel Hill and helped develop University Mall. Richards had wanted to donate the property to the town, but he died before any agreement could be reached. The co-executors of the estate did not feel the heirs had the authority to donate the property. The value of music, with its bright, strong guitar work, striking lyrics and innovative harmonies, doesn't fit a mold. "We are proud of our music and our lyrics," Craver continued. "It was a must that we have the lyrics in the cover of our tape, even though it meant extra money. They are very important, especially to Gina Stewart and Deanna Campbell, bassist and guitarist respectively, who write all of our songs." The group is signed with OVO Productions, whose manager, Mark Williams, is also manager of Reflec tions Studios, home of REM. They are hoping to sign with a record company soon. The production of their first 10- I'm trying to do," he said. Rufus Edmisten lacks the neces sary qualifications for the job, Car rington said. Edmisten has served as the state attorney general and was a lobbyist in the General Assembly. "The office of secretary of state requires a business background, not a law background," Carrington said. "His specialty should be manage ment, and I have a background in management." Carrington also said his motives were purer than Edmisten's. Edmisten is running because he needs a steppingstone to become governor, Carrington said, adding that he had no such ambitions. "Rufus is still seeking any office," he said. "I ran for that office to build a base for myself where I could transfer my knowledge of the business world to those people that have an interest in going into business for RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK 4700 Guardian Drive, Morrisville, North Carolina 27560 (919) 941-6200 TRY A WINNING TEAM Marriott is the leading hotel chain in the country.

Kathy Harris, chairman of the Greenways Commission, said she supported the purchase. "It's a bargain price," she said. The Parks and Recreation Com mission, the Greenways Commission and the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department will work together to plan the best use of the land, Harris said. The area would have facilities for passive recreation activities such as original 'muscular song tape Lucky Shot was something of a fluke, she said. The group won a band contest in Charlotte, and the prize was eight hours of recording time at Reflections Studios. The group has since sold over 800 copies of the 10-song tape, impressive sales for a self-produced tape, she said. Both School Kids Records and Record Bar in Chapel Hill have copies of the tape. One of the songs from the tape was included on a N.C. compilation tape for the New Music Seminar in New York City this summer. Only a few thousand copies were made of the tape, which was produced by four Raleigh studios, and almost all of those copies were given away at the themselves. Rufus Edmisten doesn't know a fingerprint from a noseprint. I do." Carrington said government offi cials should come from all walks of life, not just legcl ones. Edmisten is one of an overwhelming number of government offic. als who are lawyers, he said. A different background would make the government more representative anc' more receptive to the needs of its citzens. "Government must be a cross section of the population as a whole. A mixture of cultures, classes, races and vocations," he said. "When government becomes one-sided it loses sight of the fact that it is the servant of the people." In answering questions from the 35 members of the audience, Carrington did not outline any specific proposals that he would enact upon assuming office.-- ,, , - - v . , J exploring, walking and sitting, as opposed to active recreation facilities such as ball fields, she said. It would be a place for families and children to walk and observe nature, she said. The park will be constructed as soon as possible, Harris said. The organizations involved have to meet, talk and have the land surveyed to determine what kinds of construction would be appropriate. The area also could be used to add another link to the greenways system by establishing unpaved paths through the property, Harris said. seminar. "It's like pulling teeth to get a copy of that tape now," Craver said. The Veldt and Satellite Boyfriend are among the other groups featured on the tape. The band members' music back grounds and tastes are very different from each other, Craver said. She said Campbell grew up with folk music, Stewart with country and she with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and rhythm and blues.

Benches, picnic tables and raised wooden walkways are other possibil ities for the park, she said. The combination of the two tracts would make this area as large as Cedar Falls Park, located in the northeast part of Chapel Hill. "It would be a big enough park so that someone could get far enough away from the sound of traffic they could have a restful time," she said. pop' to the Stewart also played with Fetchin' Bones but stopped to finish school, Craver said.
