B-GLADcifflce
burglarized
for 2nd time
The office of Bisexuals, Gay men,
Lesbians and Allies for Diversity was
burglarized for the second time in a
week sometime between Tuesday night
and Wednesday morning.
B-GLAD officials reported a SIOO
laser writer toner cartridge missing from
the organization’s office in the Student
Union Thursday morning.
B-GLAD Co-chairman Doug
Ferguson said he was not certain whether
the theft was related to the disappear
ance of several B-GLAD membership
lists from the group’s Suite B office last
week.
The lists, kept in a locked file cabi
net, were circulated at a Student Con
gress budget meeting Sunday. B-GLAD
members have asked the student attor
ney general to consider filing Honor
Court charges against several Student
Congress representatives who circulated
the lists.
Ferguson has said the lists contained
the names of about 65 UNC students,
employees and faculty, many of whom
have yet to come out of the closet.
Circulating the lists violated B-GLAD
members’ right to privacy, Ferguson
said.
Following the removal of the lists, B
GLAD officials had the lock on the
group’s Suite B office changed Mon
day.
Ferguson said he did not know how
the burglar got into the office.
“We had reduced our key list to four
people, and we had left specific instruc
tions with the Union desk that no one
was to be let in,” he said.
In the wake of the cartridge theft, the
B-GLAD locks have been rekeyed for a
second time with only one copy made.
University Police are investigating
both thefts.

Students working on the Rape-Free
Zone, a 24-hour symposium on sexual
violence and its effects on all members
of society, are looking for literature to
post around campus.
The literature will serve as a silent
reminder of the frequency of sexual
assault.
Rape-Free Zone organizers are look

Capowski: Top of the Hill ‘looks like hell’
By Jay R. Davis

It once was the Top of the Hill, but
now it’s a hole in the ground.
Chapel Hill Town Council members
said this week that they had received
numerous complaints from town resi
dents about the mounds of dirt at the
comer of Franklin and Columbia streets,
where a three-story retail complex is
slated to be built.
“It’s our key intersection, and it looks
like hell,” council member Joe
Capowski said.
The site presently is surrounded by a
wire fence and contains piles of red clay
and two large holes.

Dramas to hold auditions at UNC

The 1993 National Combined Drama
Auditions, the largest audition in the
United States for outdoor historical dra
mas, will be held March 20 in Memorial
Hall. Outdoor drama companies from
several states will audition actors, sing
ers, dancers and technicians.
The auditions are sponsored by
UNC’s Institute of Outdoor Drama,
which was established in 1963. The
institute assists the development of out
door dramas throughout the country.
North Carolina has twice as many
outdoor dramas as any other state. The
first outdoor drama, “The Lost Colony,”
was established in 1937 in Roanoke.
“These are original historical plays
written about some historical event or
series of events,” said Scott Parker,
director of the Institute of Outdoor
Drama. “They are produced in amphi
theaters on the sites where these events
occurred.
“It’s not like producing ‘Hello Dolly ’
outdoors,” Parker said. Outdoor his
torical dramas often must deal with a
large stage and cast, the use of horses
and other animals, period weapons, com
plex sound and lighting equipment, and
the use of explosives and pyrotechnics.
In the drama “Tecumseh!” performed
in Chillicothe, Ohio, the forest surround
ing the amphitheater is used to stage
mounted battle scenes.
“You can be a little more realistic
with an outdoor show,” said James
Wilson, manager of “The Sword of
Peace,” which is performed in Snow
Camp. “The stage is two if not three
times as large, and at any given time you
may have 75 to 100 people on stage.”
The weather is also a factor. “The
cast and crew as well as our audience
have to deal with the weather,” said
Elizabeth Evans, public relations direc
tor for “The Lost Colony.” “Oddly
enough, out of last season’s 68 perfor
mances, we only had three rainouts.”
“The Lost Colony” hires a lot of
actors and actresses from the UNC sys
tem, Evans said.
UNC Professor Emeritus William
Hardy wrote “The Sword of Peace,”
which is celebrating its 20th anniver
sary this year.
Boycotts, letters might halt dump, activists say
By Leah A. Campbell
Assistant City Editor
Boycotting stocks and bonds of pro
nuclear companies might discourage
state officials from locating a low-level
waste dump in Chatham County, local
environmental activists said Thursday.
“Sometimes the only way to get
anyone’s attention is to generate situa
tions which would threaten the
economy, jobs or money,” said Debi
Bird, founder of Love Your Mother, a
local organization devoted to fighting
the dump. “We should start targeting
the root of the problem, which is corpo
rate America, namely (Carolina Power
& Light Cos.) and Duke Power.”
A group of about 16 people gathered
at Internationalist Books Thursday night
to discuss ways to fight the dump, which
would be the nation’s largest waste
dump.
As part of the Southeastern Com
pact, North Carolina must help choose
a regional site to replace the present one
in South Carolina that serves several
Southeastern states.

new Top of the Hill complex might
begin this month.
Riddle said the new complex would
be called the Top of the Hill, like the
former gas station and convenience store
that stood on the site.
“Everyone knows it as the Top of the
Hill,” he said. “If anyone can think of a
better name, let me know.”
Construction was slowed because of
environmental problems, Riddle said.
He added that construction on the land
had to be approved by the state Depart
ment of the Environment, Health and
Natural Resources and the Groundwa
ter Management Cos., an independent
company that monitors soil conditions.
The land was contaminated by ben
zene deposits that leaked from the gas
station’s underground fuel-storage
tanks.

Dancers, singers and actors will vie for 150 to 200 spaces at the March 20 auditions
Ten to 15 theaters will attend the
auditions to hire 150 to 200 people.
Anyone may audition who is at least 18

the theaters require about two weeks of

Drake from Physicians for Social Re
sponsibility were the forum’s panelists.
The program was part of an ongoing
series of “coffee house” discussions
sponsored by the bookstore, located on
West Rosemary Street.
Drake said anti-dump activists also
could hurt the nuclear-energy industry
by buying advertisements that encour
aged companies to become environ
mentally responsible.
“I think the anti-dump movement
could benefit from taking out full-page
advertisements urging the companies
to boycott the Southeast Compact,” he
said. “Everyone who paid should sign
their names so the support could be
easily recognizable.”
Bird added that public support for the
anti-dump movement would be greater
if more people understood the way the
dump might directly affect them.
“North Carolinians should know that
any leaks that occur in this proposed
dump would cost the taxpayers mil
lions,” she said. "They should know
that this waste their tax money will
clean up comes from other states.”
SEAC Co-chairman John Bright said
writing letters to state officials also was
an effective way for citizens to commu
nicate their opposition to the proposed
“This court has found no evidence to
support the plaintiffs’ contention that
proper notice was not given,” Walser
wrote. “Rather, were a trial on the mer
its of this contention to be held, it would
be shown that proper notice had indeed
been given at the Feb. 10 meeting.”
The plaintiffs had asked Walser to
file an injunction in the case and order a
trial.
The allocation of $4,800 from Stu
dent Congress to the Campus Y will go
into law Saturday unless Student Body
President John Moody vetoes the bill.
“In June I realized it would take a
while, but I hoped to have been through
by now,” Riddle said.
Town attorney Ralph Karpinos said
there was little the town could do to
improve the view.
“I think as long as they’ve got a fence
up and it’s not a hazard to the public,
they’re legal,” Karpinos said.
“One main interest is to make sure
the site is not a danger to the traveling
public,” he added.
Riddl said he was willing to help
clean up the construction site.
“The town’s been helpful,” Riddle
said. “I’m willing to do whatever I can.”
Karpinos said Chapel Hill officials
were trying to lobby the state to obtain
a permit to expedite the construction
process.

and callbacks are set for 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
According to the Institute of Outdoor
Drama, singers should be able to project
their voices easily because many pro
ductions have no microphones. They
should choose more popular or Broad
way songs that allow them to show their
range and versatility.
Actors also should be proficient at
vocal projection and should choose a
monologue in which the character’s
emotions change. “A modem play will
be best, since classical European parts
are difficult to do,” Parker said.

“Most of the site selection process
clearly has political motivation,” he said.
“The public is losing its decision-mak
ing power.”
Bright said letter writers should urge
their legislators to pull North Carolina
out of the Southeastern Compact.
“SEAC is trying to maintain a re
sponsible stance,” he said. “We don’t
want it in our backyard, but we don’t
want it an anyone’s backyard.”
Marcoplos said he thought compa
nies that produced nuclear waste might
be discouraged from producing so much
if they were made financially respon
sible for disposing of it.
“The utility companies should be held
responsible for this,” he said. “But our
legislators are cowardly and afraid of
taking the first step of getting us out of
the Southeastern Compact.”
Drake said Americans recognized the
need for public waste dumps but did not
want to be responsible for having them
in their backyards.
“Americans have become very ac
customed to having other people take
care of our waste,” he said. “We don’t
like the idea of having to take this nuclear
waste, but what would we do if we
couldn’t take our trash out to the curb?”

Almost 100 male residents of Old
East and Old West residence halls will
share in a piece of history next fall
when the dorms reopen as part of the
University’s Bicentennial Celebration.
Lottie Riley, assistant director of
University housing, said 97 of the 236
men who applied for housing in Old
East and Old West were chosen through
a lottery earlier this week to live in the
historic dormitories.
Old East and Old West, located on
East Cameron Avenue, were closed
,two years ago for renovation.
Old East, completed in 1793, is the
oldest building on campus and the
oldest state university building in the
country.
Students who wanted to live in the
dormitories filled out applications, and
officials picked the winners’ names in
a lottery.
Rick Bradley, assistant housing di
rector, said students who lived in Old
East and Old West two years ago were
given priority to return to the resi
dence halls “as long as they are full
time undergraduate students.”
Riley said four students who lived
in Old East and Old West applied to
live in the residence halls next year.
Twenty-eight spaces were left open
in the dormitories for first-year stu
dents, she said.

A local activist asked the Chapel Hill
Town Council this week to pass a reso
lution supporting the establishment of a
Triangle-wide drug rehabilitation facil
ity.
Craig Brown, interim president of
Triangle Residential Options for Sub
stance Abusers, said the area desper
ately needed a drug-treatment facility.
“There is a glaring gap in terms of
services being provided now,” Brown
said. “There’s absolutely no facility of
any kind for a hard-core substance
abuser.”
Council members said they would
consider Brown’s request and make a
decision at a later date.
Council member Art Werner said
Thursday, “The program's got to move
along a lot from where it is right now. It
is just a concept right now.”
Brown said TROSA officials hoped
to set up a drug-treatment facility in a

nial aspect of the buildings had been
left intact. The buildings have been
upgraded with new facilities, such as
elevators for disabled residents and
new bathrooms, he said.
“Each building used to be three
separate tower structures under one
roof,” he said.
“Now they are connected with hall
ways. Plus, no two rooms are the same.
Back in 1793, they didn’t consider
electricity or bunk beds.”
Boggs said that because the build
ing structures still were very strong,
much of the original framework was
left intact to give them more authen
ticity.
One of the buildings’ quirks was
that each floor had a lower ceiling
than the previous floor, which meant
that only the first-floor rooms could
have bunk beds, Boggs said.
“The first floor’s ceiling are eight
feet high while the second and third
are 7 1/2 and seven feet high respec
tively,” he said.
“This makes it impossible to bunk
beds on the top two floors.”
But some of the rooms have al
coves that are big enough for beds,
leaving more space in the room, he
said.

“What we are trying to do is reach the
hard-core drug abusers,” Brown said.
Substance abusers who graduate from
the program would contribute part of
their income to the treatment center,
allowing it to be self-sufficient in three

The residential corrections programs
