ReaHgimniieiit proposal upsets
Odom Village, other residents
By ERIK ROGERS
Staff Writer
The fall season is here, but some
residents near Manning Drive are still
hot.
Local residents are upset over plans
for a new road that would cut through
Odum Village, UNC's married-student
housing.
As part of the four-year-old land-use
plan, University planners want to realign
Manning Drive to block it before it
reaches the U.S. 15-501 bypass. Traffic
from the bypass would instead be routed
to Columbia Street and then to the new
road.
But the proposed new road is not a
welcome addition to many residents in
the area, including Peg Rees, who lives
on Oteys Road.
An overabundance of Smith Center
traffic on Mason Farm Road and a dis
rupted Odum Village community are
two problems that would plague Chapel
Hill if the proposed road plan is en
acted, Rees said.
"If you cut off the part of Manning
Drive by Columbia Street, then that

Paul Green's former home converted
by couple into bed and breakfast inn
By LAURA YOUNG
Staff Writer
One Chapel Hill-area woman is do
ing more than most North Carolinians
to preserve memories of author Paul
Green, who is considered to be among
the University's most celebrated alumni.
For years Green's drama and litera
ture have influenced and inspired people
in many ways. Green's legend contin
ues to flourish in the Windy Oaks Inn,
now a bed and breakfast establishment
on the outskirts of Chapel Hill. Windy
Oaks was Green's residence for almost
30 years. It is now managed by Gerri
Nunn.
Green originally purchased the house,
located on Old Lystra Road in Chatham
County, from his daughter, and moved
there from his Chapel Hill residence
upon his retirement.
After Green's death, the house was
included in his children's estate. It re
mained empty for a year and a half until
Irvin and Gerri Nunn fell in love with
the property and bought it.
Many costly improvements had to be
made to the inside of the house, said
Gerri Nunn. These expenses, as well as
the financial problems involved with
owning such a large estate, made the
owners start to consider ways in which
to support their investment.
The idea of converting the home into
a bed and breakfast was Gerri Nunn's.
With the help of her family, she studied
Statue
Some students were disturbed by
potentially sexist implications in another
one of the statues, in which a male with
a book is hugging a female holding an
apple.
Ellerson said the statue was a sexist
depiction because the male holding the
book represented academics and the
woman leaning against him for support
represented subordination.
Balk said the statue was meant to
portray the illusion of Adam and Eve
because the apple represented knowl
edge and the book symbolized a source
of knowledge.
"This statue creates the romantic
aspect of student life," she said.
One student viewing the sculpture
said he thought the statue of an Afro
American woman balancing a book on
top of her head stereotypically repre
sented an African woman carrying a
basket on her head.
means there will only be two ways to
get to the Smith Center either by the
bypass or by the Mason Farm exten
sion," she said. "I am afraid if that part
of Manning Drive is cut off, that is
going to mean too much traffic going
through such a quiet area as the one on
the Mason Farm extension."
Things would not get any better for
residents in Odum Village either, Rees
said. She said installing a road through
such a quiet community would be "a
real crime" because some of the hous
ing complexes would have to be re
moved. "Odum Village is a community where
people of the same culture can get to
gether and socialize," Rees said.
Vice Chancellor of Business and Fi
nance Ben Tuchi said the claims of the
residents were unfounded.
"The traffic on Mason Farm Road
would not become greater, since we are
cutting (Mason Farm Road) off," Tuchi
said. "Besides, we're looking at four to
seven years before we start the project.
We have not even formulated the basic
details."
Windy Oaks bed and breakfast inn
other established bed and breakfast inns
and created her own.
"Though business was slow at first,
through word of mouth and referrals
our business soon became very good,"
Nunn said.
Windy Oaks Inn is a very popular
place for weddings and receptions as
well as for boarders, Nunn said.
With the help of some family mem
bers, includinghermother-in-law, Hallie
Nunn, who was in food management
before the inn's opening and is now in
charge of Windy Oaks food service,
and Elizabeth and Robert Dubose, Gerri
Nunn performs wedding ceremonies
almost every weekend between April
and October.
She also receives help from coun
selors at the YMCA whom she knows
from her volunteering experiences there.
The same people have been working
with her on weddings for about three
years, Nunn said.
The busy season for Windy Oaks is
autumn, she said. Rooms are usually
booked from Wednesday to Saturday or
Sunday with a small lull on Monday
and Tuesday, but reservations must be
made up to a year in advance because
the inn is usually booked. Rates are
$65-70 per night, and the fee includes a
full breakfast in the morning and wine
and cheese in the afternoon. Much of
Windy Oaks business is made up of
return visitors, Nunn said.
Balk said she intended for this figure
to represent the balance between dignity
and grace without being overwhelmed.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor of
student affairs, said he thought the statue
gave the otherwise serious sculpture a
whimsical touch.
Scott Wierman, 1985 senior class
president, said the class decided to do
nate a sculpture because it felt there was
a lack of outdoor art on campus.
"We selected an artist who we thought
would capture all facets of the campus,"
he said. "We wanted to embody the
entire student body as much as possible.
"The Class of 1985 was not trying to
stereotype any race, instead we were
trying to get a good cross-section of
students," he said.
Wierman only saw sketches of the
sculpture before Balk actually created
it, he said.
Boulton said art work often encour
A cutoff Mason Farm Road would
mean less Smith Center traffic on the
Mason Farm extension, Tuchi added.
Also, the plan would not have a nega
tive effect on the traffic situation in
Odum Village.
"The possibility of more traffic run
ning through (Odum Village) is less
likely to be the case after the new road
is installed, since the Mason Farm Road
would be cut off," Tuchi said.
The land-use plan is not part of the
thoroughfare plan the state requires of
all localities expecting funding assis
tance in building highways and meeting
other traffic needs. But town staff mem
bers recommended postponing the
Manning Drive realignment decision
until it could be included as an amend
ment to the thoroughfare plan.
The Chapel Hill Town Council will
vote on the proposal Oct. 29. If the
council approves the realignment as an
amendment to the thoroughfare plan,
construction is expected to begin within
three to four years.

The house is still structurally the
same as it was when Paul Green and his
wife Elizabeth lived there, Nunn said.
"Many cosmetic changes had to be
made to the interior of the house," she
said.
The inside was painted an apple
green color and small bookshelves filled
with manuscripts lined almost every
wall. The kitchen and a bathroom had to
be entirely redone.
The Greens' love of nature and the
beauty of the outdoors is reflected in the
backyard of the inn. Exotic trees and
flowers adorn the entire area. There is
even a fish pond to add another di
mension to the yard. Also behind the
house is a log cabin in which Paul Green
did most of his writing. "Everywhere he
went he had to have a log cabin," Nunn
said.
Nunn said she enjoys running the
inn. She likes being her own boss, and
she enjoys living in the home of such a
famous and inspirational figure, she said.
Green is probably most famous for
his outdoor dramas, such as "The Lost
Colony" and "Horn in the West," but he
won a Pulitzer prize for his work "In
Abraham's Bosom."
He also collaborated with Richard
Wright in the writing of "Native Son,"
and was a mentor and adviser to na
tionally known author Richard Adler,
who wrote "Damn Yankees."

"Sculptures always bring about re
actions in the eye of the beholder,"
Boulton said. "She (the artist) seems
like a sensitive person and through her
eyes she was not being stereotypical."
Frederic Schroeder, dean of students,
said the sculpture has artistic value be
cause it provokes debate.
"I think that if art is meant to stimu
late thought and discussion, she (the
artist) has done it, because it's going to
galvanize discussions and debate," he
said.
Balk said she did not want the
sculpture to send negative messages.
"This is a positive representation of
art and I hope it will be perceived that
way," she said. "It is meant to be en
joyed." The statues are meant to represent
the various types of students on campus,
she said.
Counseling workshop
loses '91 class' support
By JENNIFER MUELLER
Staff Writer
The senior class is withdrawing
support from a career counseling
workshop planned for Sunday because
it is not cost-effective or relevant to
students, class leaders said.
After discovering that University
Career Planning and Placement Ser
vices had reservations about the
workshop, senior class officials said
they decided to discontinue support
for the program.
The seminar, which is being spon
sored by Unlimited Potential, a divi
sion of the Cary-based Human Di
mension, costs $75 for a nine-hour
series of presentations by consultants
and business people. Lunch is included
in the price.
The senior class supported the
workshop with the implicit agreement
that UCPPS supported it also, said
Pete Holthausen, senior class president.
Class leaders decided not to support
the group after speaking with Marcia
Harris, UCPPS director.
Bret Batchelder, senior class career
committee co-chairman, said the class
distributed fliers publicizing the
workshop and allowed UP to use its
name as an endorsement for the pro
gram. Harris said she questioned the
credibility of the workshop.
"I don't really know enough about
the content of the program or the cre
dentials of the speakers," she said. "I
do have questions and concerns about
whether the information they distrib
ute would be appropriate for college
graduates seeking entry-level posi
tions." The session titled "How to Nego
tiate Successfully for the Salary and
Position You Want" is an example of
a program inappropriate for recent
college graduates, Harris said. Many
companies don't expect college stu
Mangum to haunt hallways!
to benefit N.C. Burn Center;
By JENNY BURRIS
Staff Writer
For thrills, chills, scares and dares,
students can celebrate Halloween by
visiting the Mangum Residence Hall
haunted house. '
The haunted house, a long-standing
Mangum tradition, will be held in the
dormitory Oct. 26 and 27 from 7:30 to
1 1:30 p.m. The residence hall will do
nate benefits to the Jaycees' Burn Center
of UNC Hospitals.
Grant Campbell, Mangum president,
said the basement, stairwells and second
floor of the residence hall will be
transformed to create the haunted house.
Participants will be guided through
different rooms, each with a different
horror motif, Campbell said.
The newest addition to the haunted
house is a room that gives people the
illusion that they are losing their senses
of sight, hearing, smell and touch, he
said.
"We're really excited this year about
a sense-deprivation room," he said.
"People will be robbed of all their senses
through special effects."
Credit Union embraces donation! I
of teddy bears for incident victims !
By CATHY 0BERLE
Staff Writer
The Carolina Students' Credit Union
is asking UNC students to give up the
security of their teddy bears to help
children who have been involved in
traumatic incidents.
The credit union will collect teddy
bears and other stuffed animals to donate
to the Chapel Hill Police Department.
Betsy Vanbelois, who is organizing
the collection campaign, said the bears
would be collected at the credit union
office during November and part of
December.
Sergeant Robert Frick of the Chapel
Hill Police Department said police of
ficers carried the teddy bears in their
cars to give to children involved in car
wrecks, domestic disputes or other dis
turbing situations.
CSFOlillB
a maximum of 20,000 calls from stu
dents in one hour, but this would be the
worst-case scenario for Saturday's
registration.
At UNC students are divided up into
stricter classifications than NCSU ini
tially used for its telephonic registration,
which may alleviate some of the stress
on the phone system, he said. NCSU
grouped students according to class, but
UNC students are grouped according to
class and social security number.
Patty said NCSU's main problem
with registration occurred when
sophomores began to call. The majority
of calls at that time came from on
campus and overloaded the university's
switching station.
The overload led to the entire county
receiving a slow dial tone, but Southern
Bell personnel quickly adjusted the
system.
Southern Bell plans to have extra
dents to negotiate salaries because of
the extensive form ulas the compan ies
already have worked out for entry
level salaries, she said. "It can be
detrimental in some situations."
For a minimal cost, students can
get most of the information the
workshop provides at UCPPS, Harris
said.
Eileen Broer, co-founder of UP,
said the $75 fee was necessary because
all speakers at Sunday's program are
nationally recognized individuals who
charge up to $100 an hour for con
sultations. Ward Wi 1 1 iams, co-founder of UP,
said the seminar is not attempting to
act as a substitute for any of UCPPS'
normal services.
"We certainly are not in competi
tion with the career center," Williams
said. "Most students don't know what
they want in their future, and (UCPPS)
frequently assumes what they want.
They need to go through the thought
process themselves and find power
through clarity."
Broer said the seminars would help
students arrange their values and find
an energizing and enjoyable job.
Unlimited Potential was not aware
that UCPPS did not support the
seminar, Broer said.
Holthausen said he did not know
that the information the workshop
would provide was also available at
UCPPS.
"My understanding was that this
(the seminar) was something new and
different," he said.
UP planned a similar workshop at
N.C. State University last weekend,
but it was canceled because of lack of
interest. Williams said he hopes re
sponse is high enough to prevent them
from having to cancel again.
Broer said the seminar will be
Sunday at the Carolina Inn. Registra
tion will begin at 10:15 a.m.
In another room, thrill-seekers will
be chased with a chain saw, Campbell
said.
Myron Pitts, Mangum vice president
said residents had spent many hour
preparing for the event. '
About 30 - 40 Mangum residents are ;
involved in organizing and playing parts ;
in the event, Pitts said.
"It takes quite a bit of time to set up;
a haunted house as we're doing," he:
said. "Setting up the house is only one-;
fourth of what we do."
Organizers also had to find sponsors
for the house, plan the design of the;
rooms and design and order T-shirts,
Pitts said.
Sponsors for the event have contrib
uted money or items to be given away as
door prizes, he said.
The haunted house raised more than:
$6,000 last year and is expected to raise
more this year, said Todd Jones,
Mangum treasurer. j
Tickets can be purchased in advance!
from Mangum residents for $2. Tickets!
will be sold at the door for $3. i
The teddy bears help draw their at-i
tention away from the problem and help
calm them down, he said. "We have a;
lot of situations where (children) don't
know what's going on." j
The drive to collect teddy bears by;
the credit union follows a similar drive
by the North Carolina Credit Union;
League last spring. Shoney's now pro-;
vides bears for the program, which was'
started seven months ago.
Vanbelois said the police department;
had used about 75 bears since the pro-'
gram began, and the credit union would;
try to collect about 50 bears in this'
drive. ;
"By the middle of December, we'd'
like to collect and present the bears to'
(the police department)," Vanbelois!
said.
