2 Friday, October 1,1993 Three Members Selected For Multicultural Group BY JOHN BLACKWELL STAFF WRITER Three at-large members were appointed Wednesday night to the local school’s multicultural-advisory committee to help the 37-member board reach a consensus on the way the sexual-orientation part of the plan should be implemented. Fourteen interested volunteers attended an informal meeting at Lincoln Center on Merritt Mill Road to select the final repre sentatives. The volunteers discussed their opinions on the issue and goals for the committee, and then voted for three people to serve. The Sexual-Orientation Action Plan Advisory Committee is made up of par ents, teachers, school-board members, ad ministrators and students. The Chapel Hill-Canrboro Board of Education decided this summer to form an advisory committee in response to paren tal opposition to the inclusion of sexual orientation studies in the school multicultural plan, which passed in July. The plan’s mission is to promote ethnic awareness and tolerance for people with different cultures and lifestyles. School board member Ken Touw said the board did not intend to eliminate sexual orientation from the multicultural-educa tion plan. The purpose of the committee is to re view the plan’s mission statement and rec ommend the best way to implement it. “We need to implement the plan in a way to respect the community’s values,” Touw said. “The at-large members should help push us along to meet the standards that this community has.” Sexual orientation was included in the plan partially in response to anti-gay van dalism at Chapel Hill High School in the spring of 1992.

At the old Nowell’s location in University Mall, Chapel Hill • 967-7041 New Store Hours: Mon. - Sat., 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. • Sun., 1- 5 p.m. Chapel Hill High School student Lindsay Little requested to be transferred to an other English class after being assigned to read gay and lesbian literature for a class project. Little’s parents removed her from the school system last week. Selected to be at-large members of the committee were: Alicia Stemper, a crisis counselor for the Chapel Hill Police De partment; Jim Mcquaid, a Chapel Hill resident with two children in the school system; and Linda Brooks, an associate professor in the UNC School of Educa tion. Stemper said the controversy was caused by misunderstanding and fear on both sides of the issue. “I want to try to help each side hear each other because there’s a lot of pain and fear on both sides, and it’s hard to hear when you have fear and pain,” Stemper said. Mcquaid, who is a marketing manager, said he would bring to the committee the communication skills necessary to reach a resolution. “I don’t have any belief that there is a simple, universal answer,” Mcquaid said. “I believe veiy strongly in the worth and dignity of every individual.” Brooks, who has taught a UNC cross cultural counseling course, said she did not have any preconceived notions about the best way to implement the plan. “I just think it should fit the values of the community.” Doug Ferguson, a UNC graduate who now is a UNC law school student, volun teered to serve on the committee but was not selected. “I see the tragedy of Lindsay Little in a different way,” Ferguson said during the meeting. “She’s the person we’re trying to reach most with this program. “I want to make sure people stay in (school) and are not so offended they turn their eyes and ears away.” Fall Arts and Crafts Fair BY KATHRYN HASS STAFF WRITER Now that the temperatures are cooling and the leaves are beginning to change colors, Chapel Hill’s annual fall festival is just around the comer. The 22nd annual Festifall, an outdoor arts-and-crafts fair sponsored by the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department, will be held Sunday. The fair will be held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. downtown on West Franklin Street. “We have three staging areas with over 15 different types of bands and entertain ment, and over 100 arts-and-crafts people and all kinds of children’s activities,” said Carol Walbom, fair coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department. Two stages and one ground-level per formance area will showcase many artists. Rock, reggae, blues haip and Andean music are among the featured types. Other per formance artists include a rollerblading rap artist and a children’s dance group. Several special events also will be held. Local 506 will host the Bill Witherspoon Fashion Show. Also, the Ackland Art Museum will sponsor a storytelling ex- HOUSING FROM PAGE 1 tried at other schools in the state and across the nation, Kuncl said. “I know that UNC-Charlotte and Ap palachian State University have a form of 24-hour visitation, and Duke has 24-hour visitation policy in some of their residence halls,” he said.

By law, all bars are liable for their cus tomers. The Dram-Shop Law makes bar employees responsible if a customer they served causes physical harm to another person or causes property damages. But Smith said that generally there were not too many Lability cases. “There’s been only one such incident in this area lately, and that happened to a Raleigh bar about a year ago.” The law is serious enough that it forces a bar to shut down if employees are found liable for an alcohol-related accident. “Es pecially with Dram-Shop Law, you (as a bar owner) don’t want to put yourself in WZZU 93.9 Broadcasting Live After The Game Sat. at HE’S NOT HERE on the Village Green gam jftdams 220 z bottle $2.50 Cream of Soul • FrndAy, Oct. 1 CauqNt In tlie Act • SATURcky, Oct. 2 KAPAOKE EVEPY SUNDAY Chapel HID • 942-7939 • Express Lunch Buffet $4.95 M-F tmjm ffijM • Daily Drink Specials Itafjjgg&H • 60" Big Screen TV Attn: Sororities & Fraternities MIX AT MAXXS!

Most bar owners said they did not think they had to notify their customers about the new drinking-and-driving law. Burnett said he thought newspaper pub licity would keep residents informed. “We’ve already discussed the change with some of the local customers about how much they will be able to drink, consider ing their weight,” he said. Player’s probably will post the new law on the door and have the disc jockey an nounce it, McCormick said. “I know this law will personally affect me, and I hope others will realize the dangers involved in drinking and driving and do whatever it takes to prevent it.” Cousins also said the Chapel Hill police hoped the law would have a positive effect on the problems with drinking and driving. “We hope that the citizens wijl be more concerned with the effects of drinking and driving and act upon it.” Scheduled for Sunday TANARUS Reel Stage (at MaSette StreoiJ 1:00 Isaac of the Jug (rode) 2:10 Bahiooka Roux (rock) 3:20 Plutopia (reggae) 4:30 Apple Chil Doggers with the Lightning Cider Band total Stage (at 0 rah am Avenue) 1.00 Steve Marvel (blues harp) 2:10 Takisuyo (andean music) 3:20 Doc Brandi (blue grass) 4:30 The Larks (folk rock) Under the Hands (by Chapel Rill Cleaners) 1.00 Mac Cloud Pipes and Drums 2.00 Voices Only 3:00 Bouncing BuHdogs (ropeskipping) 400 RoSer Blades Rapper 500 Dancemakers (children’s dance) Fringe,” a dance for teenagers.

Although there were no criminal prob lems at last year’s fair, Chapel Hill police will be on hand. After this year’s Apple Chill festival in April, a small riot broke out. Walbom said there were more prob lems with Apple Chill because the streets were not blocked off and groups of teenag ers driving around town had attracted large crowds. West Franklin Street between Mallette and Graham streets, as well as South Roberson Street, will be blocked off from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday. “The police are taking some extra precautions but noth ing that will interfere with the fair.” Capt. Tony Oakley with the Chapel Hill police said he did not anticipate any major problems but would have the manpower to handle the situation. “We’re going to have some extra police officers up there.” Oakley also said there would be plainclothes officers at the fair. The event organizers expect a crowd of about 25,000 people, which is a larger crowd than last year. The rain date will be Oct. 10. But Walbom said, “There will be no rain.” 7.
