Broadcast prayer before athletic
events is becoming a thing of the past
thanks to a suit filed in Georgia against
prayer before high school football
games.
The suit was filed in 1986 by Doug
Jager, a member of the marching band
at Douglas County High School, and
his father, a retired member of the armed
forces, said Jeff Bramlett, the Jagers'
attorney. The Jagers, who are descen- .

Chapel Hill merchants and the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Downtown
Commission are looking forward to the
excitement and increased business that
UNC's 1989 Homecoming will bring
to Franklin Street this weekend.
The Carolina Athletic Association

tonight's Franklin Street Extravaganza
and Saturday's Homecoming Parade

that the student group was aware of the

But the group, which opposes the
CIA for purported criminal acts, will be
active before the interview date, he
said. "We're attempting to plan educa

The Jagers' brought their suit to a
trial court in the northern district of
Georgia. The court declared the broad
casting of prayer before games uncon

the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for
the 11th district, which also declared
the public prayer unconstitutional. The
U.S. Supreme Court declined to review

"The Franklin Street Extravaganza

said. The street will be closed off to

"All the events will bring some fun

Though the ruling only directly
governs the 11th district (Georgia,

be felt across the country, said Hilary

N.C. schools have been advised

plan to stay open late today because of

Chiz said. "No school can be in the

The decision does not implicitly

Residents of Douglas County are

Extravaganza leads weekend events
By JUDY DORE

The Carolina Athletic Association
(CAA) and Chapel Hill merchants will
kick off Homecoming weekend tonight
with the second annual Franklin Street
Extravaganza from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
A pep rally featuring the UNC band,
cheerleaders and Homecoming court
will begin at 8:30 p.m. at the Franklin
Street Post Office. WCHL sports an
nouncer Woody Durham will emcee
the rally.
A band party on Ehringhaus Field
will follow the Extravaganza, with
Liquid Pleasure and The Press playing
from 9:30 p.m. until midnight.
The Extravaganza will have a carnival-type
atmosphere, said Bronwen
Griffith, CAA vice president. Games,
rides, a magician, a pizza-eating con
test and music will be just a few of the
attractions the Extravaganza will offer.
The CAA will also sell T-shirts to
commemorate the event.
"There will be games and things to
do for all ages," said Lisa Frye, CAA
president. "There will be games for
kids, students and adults. No matter
how old or young, everyone should
come."
The CAA is inviting not only stu
dents, but also the Chapel Hill commu

athletic events, said Julia Gervais,
coordinator of school and community
information for the Douglas County
school system. "The majority of people
in the county were in favor of the prayer
before the game simply because it was
a tradition."
The president of the University of
Georgia did not accept the ruling as
calmly, Bramlett said. He held a press
conference to say the university would
still broadcast prayer before games, but
Georgia's attorney general told him
last week that his legal position was

because we'll make tons of money."
Top of the Hill has been ordering
extra beer for the big weekend since
last week. Chester "Cheese" Purnell,
who has worked there for three years,
said the store usually sell $3,200 worth
of beer on a football Saturday.
"For Homecoming we expect to sell
$8,000 or $9,000 worth of beer," he
said. "It's unbelievable. We'll have
steady business starting after halftime
and lines out the door before the day is
over."
This weekend will also be a busy
time for merchants who profit from
fans and alumni. Shelton and Mary
Henderson, owners of The Shrunken
Head Boutique, have been waiting for
Homecoming to introduce their special
stuffed ram who can sing "I'm a Tar
Heel Born" and "Hark the Sound."
"We'll be giving out 'Rampage 489'
buttons on Friday and 'Don't Worry,
Be Happy' buttons on Saturday, even
though we are excited about the pros
pect of winning this year's game,"
nity, to participate in the Extravaganza,
Griffith said. The CAA has asked the
merchants of Franklin Street to take
part in the festivities to increase com
munity involvement, she said. "The
merchants have been helpful. Some
will be staying open late, and a few will
possibly offer specials.
"The town has been great. This year
they are letting us close Franklin Street
on a Friday, which is a big deal. Last
year the event was held on a Tuesday
night. The town was more wary last
year, but it turned out to be a big suc
cess. This year there is a greater amount
of trust."
Frye said she hoped to see 2,000
people attend the event. "We hope this
will be a positive event for the commu
nity, as well as for the students. I would
like to thank the town for giving us the
chance to have the event."
Local organizations will set up food
booths, such as the Ronald McDonald
House Coca-Cola stand and the Uni
versity United Methodist Church bar
beque, Frye said.
Carolina Fever members will run
games, she said.
Funding for the Extravaganza comes
from Student Congress, the athletic
department and the CAA, Frye said.

indefensible and that broadcasting a
prayer would be illegal.
UNC has never broadcast prayer
before athletic activities, though most
athletic teams pray before games in the
locker room, said Woody Durham,
sportscaster for the Tar Heel Sports
Network.
No complaints have been made about
prayer before athletic events in North
Carolina, said Carolyn Shannonhouse,
a spokeswoman for the N.C. High
School Athletic Association in Chapel

Shelton Henderson said.
Jane Cousins, police planner for
Chapel Hill, said that the police depart
ment would prepare for the worst, but
that they expected things to go smoothly.
Thirty police officers will be assigned
to handle the traffic and work at Kenan
Stadium.
"I give the CAA and the other stu
dents who helped plan the Homecom
ing events an extreme amount of credit,"
Cousins said. "They have planned
everything so well, I have every reason
to believe that everything will go
smoothly."
The CAA worked closely with the
Chapel Hill Town Council to get ap
proval for the Homecoming festivities.
Julie Andresen, town council member,
said she was impressed with the work
students had done.
"I think last year's Homecoming was
very successful. I feel positive about
this year because the students who have
made presentations to us seem to have
planned well and worked very hard."

"I think it's going to be interesting,"
said sophomore Kevin Young of

"I missed it last year because I had to

Fayetteville. "I'm a senior this year,
and I want to go this year if I'm going
to go at all."
