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.
The controversy grew this fall when

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-

Mark McCormick, the manager of
Player’s, said it was both a moral and a
legal obligation to make sure customers
got home safely.
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

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

“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.”

Walbom said the dance was included so
teenagers would have enough to do.
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.”
