The new Top of the Hill building on
Franklin Street will soon be home to Sun
glass Hut International, a chain store owned
by the company of the same name based in
Coral Gables, Fla.
The company has slated the new store
to open Nov. 25, or possibly sooner. The
new store will be located at 100-A E.
Franklin St., next to First Union.
“Chapel Hill was chosen for the loca
tion of the new store because it is a busy
place with a lot of traffic, ” said John Lay,
manager of the store in South Square Mall.
“It is a very visited place, and the com
pany feels Chapel Hill will do a lot of
business, especially on Franklin Street.”
Sunglass Hut International is the largest
chain of sunglass stores in the world, with
more than 850 stores worldwide, Lay said.
The company has several stores located
in the Triangle, including two stores in
Cary and one at South Square Mall in
Durham.
Other sunglass stores in the area are
locally owned and include A Shade Better,
which has stores in Crabtree Valley Mall in
Raleigh and North Hills Mall in Durham,
and Carolina Sunglasses, which has stores
in Raleigh and Cary.
“There are other locally owned chains

order to provide technical information to
the Chapel Hill Town Council on the fea
sibility of opening the museum, committee
member Lee Corum said.
The report covers a wide range of infor
mation about the overall cost of opening
the museum. “The committee is looking
into capital improvements, staffing, sources
of revenue, budget and basically what it
takes to establish and operate a local mu
seum,” Corum said. “It is our responsibil
ity to provide technical information to the
Town Council on how this could be done
and to demonstrate the feasibility of doing
it.”
The committee also is dealing with is
in the Triangle area, but Sunglass Hut
International is by fer the largest, with
stores in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico
and most European airports, including
England, France and Germany,” said Kim
berly Harris.
Harris is the manager of both stores in
Cary.
There are several types of retail stores,
and this company has a variety in the
Triangle area.
“The company primarily has kiosks,
which are the free standing islands found
in malls, and in-line stores, which are the
normal stores you find in malls such as The
Limited or Hallmark,” Harris said.
The Chapel Hill store, which will be
managed by Kathy Badenhoop, will be a
street front store, meaning there will be
direct access from Franklin Street, Harris
said.
The store will offer more brands of sun
glasses than the other stores in the area,
Lay said.
“The Chapel Hill store will be a higher
volume store than the Durham store, and
will cany Ray Ban, Oakley, Killer Loop,
Serengeti and Revo, just to name a few,”
he said.
The range of prices on sunglasses at
Sunglass Hut International stores is sl9 to
S3OO.

sues concerning the cost and amount of
renovations the museum would require.
“It’s just like setting up a small company,”
Corum said. “We are working on basically
the same type of plan.”
The idea of a local museum detailing
Chapel Hill history has received a great
amount of support, Corum said. “The
Museum Advocates have sent out a news
letter about this idea and I feel a lot of
support coming from local residents.”
Town Council member Rosemary
Waldorfisamongthoseinterested. “Speak
ing for myself, I am certainly looking for
ward to seeing what this committee can
develop,” she said. “The committee is
correct,” meaning they have no distortion
in the lens, the price is around $19.99, Lay
said.
The optically ground glass lenses, which
also have no distortion but are made of
glass instead of plastic like the fashion
lenses, start at $49.99 for Ray Ban, and can
range up to S3OO, Harris said.
In addition to sunglasses, Sunglass Hut
will also sell sunglass accessories.
These accessories include sunglass
straps, clip-on sunglasses, lens cleaner,
cleaning cloths and sunglass cases, Lay
said.
There is a need for a store specializing in
sunglasses in Chapel Hill, as in any town,
Lay said.
Quality sunglasses are important to pre
vent damage to the eyes, he said.
“Sunglasses are not just for fashion,
they are a health item that protects the eyes
from harmful UV and infrared rays,” Lay
said.
The new store is in the process of hiring
employees to work at the Franklin Street
location.
The company is looking for respon
sible, sales-oriented people, Harris said.
Retail experience is helpfel, but not neces
sary for this job, she said.
“We look for people who are respon
sible enough to operate the store by them
selves, when the manager is not around.”

working very hard and I am interested in

Waldorf declined to make any state
ment on the Town Council’s view of the
museum proposal, however. “It is cur
rently under study and we will decide when
the time comes,” she said.
The committee has not suffered any
setbacks or conflicts since the process of
writing the report began. The committee
has not applied for funding, Corum said.
“That is up to the Town Council.”

dure defined by the Student Government
Code, the money could not be physically
distributed until 13 days after the bilk
passed. Student Congress Speaker Monica
Cloud has three days to pass the bills to
Battle, who has 10 days to sign them.
Battle said he didn’t receive the bilk
within the three-day period, but that he
signed them when he got them. “They
were not delivered to me in a timely fash
ion,” he said. “I signed the bilk as soon as
I got all of them.”
Cloud said Battle signed the bilk Oct.
19, and she took them to SAFO, the orga-
seum. The Town Council voted to estab
lish the committee after local residents had
begun to stir interest in the possibility of
opening the museum in the old library. In
February, signs and fliers as well as a lengthy
petition were circulated concerning the
idea.
Since its first meeting in June, the com
mittee has been in the process of gathering
information in a number of areas. The
committee will present a report to the Town
Council in June 1995 detailing all the in
formation it has gathered. “We have been

sionals, as well as attending seminars deal
ing with museums and have heard many

Qoud said the bilk were delayed in
reaching Battle because former Speaker
Pro Tempore Jordan did not pass the bilk
to Battle, as the code requires. Under the
code, it k Cloud’s duty to ensure Battle gets
the bilk, but Jordan’s job to deliver them.
Jordan denied ever getting the bilk. “If
I had been given anything by the speaker I
would have (taken them to Battle).”
■ Finally, the committee will probe the
reason the Carolina Course Review has
surplus funds in its account. Conner, pub
lisher of the Course Review, said that after
the printer k paid for thk semester’sbooks,
there should be about a $2,000 surplus.
The surplus is a result of a $4,000 grant
®ljr lath) ®ar Hppl
speakeis. All these things are necessary to
aid us in writing the report,” Comm said.
The committee has been hard at work
for five months putting together the report,
Corum said. “We hope to submit the re
port before June,” he said. “We are look
ing forward to providing the Town Coun
cil and mayor with a lot of information.”
The Town Council has decided not to
make any commitments to long-term use
of the old library until the report has been
presented. The committee of 13 members
meets the second and fourth Wednesday
of each month in the conference room of
the new Chapel Hill library. Meetings are
open to the public, Corum said.
for the year from the Education Founda
tion, he said. “I thought it appropriate to
save some of it for next semester’s book.”
This semester’s books cost about $9,000
to print, Conner said. Seven thousand dol
lars for printing came from a 50 cent stu
dent fee per semester approved by the stu
dent body. The rest was fended by the
grant. “It’s produced as cheaply as pos
sible,” Conner said. “We’re printing on
newsprint, and it doesn’t get any cheaper
than that.”
Gasperini said the committee tried to
ensure that hearings were conducted fairly
by having a secretary taking notes, tape
recording the proceedings and opening
them to the public. She said the investiga
tion could be expanded to consider other
financial matters before congress.
Once its probe k complete, the commit
tee will report to the student body presi
dent, student attorney general, congress
speaker and ethics committee chairman.
