2 The Daily Tar Heel/Tuesday, Janaury 12, 1993 Chapel Hillians make resolutions for new year, new semester By Yi-Hsin Chang Features Editor With the new year and the new se mester, ’tis the season to make New Year’s resolutions. But many students and Chapel Hill residents are skipping the annual ritual. “I never make any because I always break them so quickly,” said Derek Shadid, a sophomore from Oklahoma City. Ditto for Jim Steele, manager and co-owner of the Varsity Theater on East Franklin Street.

[raM| Salisbury, already has broken her reso lution to get up early every day of this year. Lisa Patel made a resolution that should be easy to keep. “I made a reso lution no! to make any resolutions,” said the sophomore from Gastonia. Chapel Hill Town Council member Joe Herzenberg made a broad resolu tion: ‘Tobe abetter boy. I was never big on New Year’s resolutions.” Others who have made resolutions will have a more difficult time keeping their promises. Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun promised to make things “less exciting” on the town council this year. “It was too exciting last year,” he said. Orange-Chatham District Attorney Carl Fox simply resolved to work harder and to be more punctual. And Chancellor Paul Hardin prom ises to “work harder than ever to create a sense of community at Carolina.” Black Student Movement President Michelle Thomas will have her hands full with her exhaustive list of resolu tions: ‘To become more organized, to put myself on a really tight schedule and stick to it, to keep a journal and to drink more water.” Student Congress Speaker Jennifer Lloyd resolves “to do better in school and to spend more time with my friends because our time together is almost over.” If UNC basketball player Brian Reese keeps his resolution, it should make Carolina fans and coach Dean Smith very happy. “(My resolution is) to have no more losses. To win the rest of our games.” Reese will get a helping hand on the court from sophomore guard Donald Williams, who has resolved to “be more understanding and work harder in school and in basketball.” Robert Padgett, a member of the UNC Pep Band, is counting on Reese, Will iams and the rest of the UNC basketball team for his resolution. Padgett’s New Year’s resolution or New Year’s wish—is to go to the NCAA Final Four with the basketball team. 1993 promises to be another good season for the UNC football team be cause head coach Mack Brown has re solved to “be the best father and the best football coach for (his) family and the University of North Carolina.” Some students have resolved to hit the books during the new semester. Dan Haworth, a senior from Jamestown, said, “My New Year’s resolution is to get off my ass and start on my honors thesis, (which is due in February).” Junior Snow Benedict resolves “to study a little bit more and to quit watch ing television as much and, I guess, go to class more.” Chapel Hill Police Chief Ralph Pendergraph probably won’t have a dif ficult time with his New Year’s resolu tion, and he’ll enjoy keeping it: “I’m going to spend more time doing some thing more productive, like fishing.” Celebration from page 1 in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 16. Hardin also congratulated the march ing band and the cheerleaders on their victories over Mississippi State in the pre-game pep rally. He thanked the fans for their enthusiasm during the season and especially at the Peach Bowl. “You’ve heard a lot about those cowbells at Mississippi State,” he told the crowd. “The Tar Heels made more noise than those cowbells —and Tar Heels know to stop making noise when our team is calling plays.” Hardin said only one thing about the season disappointed him. “The only problem was I received a Peach Bowl watch, but I had to have it downsized because they gave me the same size as the offensive lineman,” he said. “I could have worn it on my calf.” Coach Mack Brown echoed Hardin’s praise for the fans. He said he was excited to see the fans rallying around the team throughout the season—espe cially after the at-home victory over Georgia Tech. “We took over 31,000 fans to the bowl, and we came in style,” he said. “We won the pep-rally; our band and our cheerleaders won at the pep-rally. When we were down 14-0 at half-time, a lot of fans would have left, but all our fans and our players did was bond to gether. That was a character win for North Carolina.” Chapel Hill and Carrboro town offi cials also saluted the Peach Bowl vic tory. Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun said the town council would vote on a reso lution to honor the team. Joe Hakan, chairman of the Chapel Hill-Cant>oro Chamber of Commerce, presented the team with a Tar Heel cow bell on behalf of the area business com munity. “We don’t know how to thank you enough,” he said. Senior class President Bob Paty thanked the team for helping to make the class of 1993’ s senior year exciting. “Y’ all have made the senior year one of the most memorable in history,” he said. “You helped set the tempo for us Atlanta was a lot of fun.” UNC students weren’t the only ones who will remember the Peach Bowl victory. Michael Modlim, a 9-year-old stu dent at Glenwood Elementary School in Chapel Hill, sat in the front of the Carmichael bleachers to welcome the Heels with his mother Jane. “We go to all the football and basket ball games,” said Michael, whose fa vorite player is Means. Michael said he was happy Means was going pro and would like to see him play for the Wash ington Redskins. Nadia Atwa, a Chapel Hill resident and 1989 UNC graduate, also came to show her support for the team. She said she couldn’t make it to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl but had watched it three times on television. Atwa said her favorite players were Thigpen, Perry and Means. “We’re go ing to be okay without Means.” Campus Calendar TUESDAY 2 p.m. The Carolina Union Activities Board will give you a chance to make your own video in Great Hall until 8 p.m. CUAB will sponsor Bowling & Billiards in the Union Underground until 10 p.m. Bowling will be $.50 per game and $.25 shoe rentals.
