2 fThe Daily Tar Heel/Wednesday, Janaury 27, 1993 Carrboro Arts Center strives to diversify programming By Shakti Routray Staff Writer The Carrboro Arts Center has diver sified its programming this year in an attempt to appeal to various ethnic and cultural groups, according to Fred Good, chairman of the center’s board of direc tors. Good said he thought that because the Arts Center was a nonprofit, pub licly supported organization, it should be in touch with the local community. “There is more of a conscious effort •to reach minority groups,” Good said. Last year, the center’s programming included a step show, and 30 percent of the musical programs were oriented to Here We Grow! Expanded "We Take Women SeriousiytH unc year-at-sevilla Summer, 1993.

In addition to planning programs designed to appeal to the area’s diverse population, the board has made a con scious effort to reach out to minorities. Three out of 12 board members are minorities, Good said. Tyler Vermilya, a University junior who is a member of the center’s board of directors, said, “the Arts Center is a community center, and it needs to have equal representation.” Good said the center’s programmers had brought musicians from all across the country. He added that the center had showcased all styles of music, rang ing from country to pop. “We have a nationally known, recog nized jazz program, and we did a fair amount of showcasing of jazz at differ ent levels (last year),” Good said. Good said there also had been more programming for teenagers, children and handicapped people. “We do a lot of networking with the schools,” Good said. Other music programs in the past year have included open-microphone nights for local teenagers, Good said. Vermilya said the open-microphone nights had been very successful with more than 150 people attending most performances. “I certainly hope (the programming for teens) will continue,” Vermilya said.

There are few other places local teen agers can go, he said. Good said the philosophy of the cen ter had changed. The board is much smaller than it used to be, and members were more active in the center, he said. “We have become a little more grassroots in our focus,” Good said. “The programming hasn’t changed that much, but we are putting more emphasis on other things,” he said. Good said he thought the Arts Center had improved its relationship with the community by listening to citizens and dollars in assets to qualify for aid if it filed a short form. But a reduction in the amount of Pell Grant money available to undergradu ates will offset the expanded loan pro gram. Morris said the government con sistently underestimated the cost of pro viding Pell Grants, resulting in unac ceptably large shortfalls.

Students will get more total aid, but a higher percentage of that aid will come in loans rather than grants. “Our hunch is that students will bor row all they can,” she said. “But maybe they will surprise us.” While middle-class families will ben efit from the relaxed regulations, lower income families might suffer, Morris said. UNC has a finite amount of insti tutional grants and scholarships allo cated on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure that those with the most need have the best chance at the University’s institutional money, un dergraduates will have to complete two separate forms (see sidebar).

The diverse background of the board has contributed to the diversity in pro gramming, he said. This included having a high-school age board member to represent teenage interests, Good said. Good said the center had new art exhibits every six weeks in its gallery. He added that the center had showcased solo artists two to three times a year. Last year, the center showcased art by children, senior citizens, local art ists, photographers and weavers. from page 1 stituted anew loan program available to students regardless of need, called the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan. Unlike a regular Stafford Loan in which the gov ernment pays the interest while the stu dent is in school, the student must pay the interest. “This may be a real boon for fami lies,” Morris said. But she said the new type of loan would shift financial re sponsibility to students, who already face an uncertain job market when they graduate. Despite the changes and uncertainty about where the federal aid program is headed, Morris said all eligible UNC students should end up receiving enough aid. “I think we can probably put together something for everyone,” she said. in 425 Hamilton. 5:30 p jd.
