2 Thursday, January 12,1995 Magazine: Chapel Hill High on Active Gties List BY ION GOLDBERG FEATURES EDITOR Forget Chapel Hill’s notorious bar scene and the fast food restaurants that seem to operate on every comer. Because according to a national fitness magazine, the town is one of the best places to live in America for people who enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle. The article “Fit City” in the January issue ofMen’s Fitness magazine listed eight “fantasy cities, ” towns rated solely on their recreational activities. It also named three “reality cities” that have a good blend of recreational activities and other positive aspects such as low unemployment and a solid economy. Chapel Hill was joined by Austin, Texas, and Boston as “reality cities.” College towns Charlottesville, Va.; Madison, Wise.; and Boulder, Colo., were among the “fantasy cities.” Seattle and San Francisco were dubbed as “Grand Slam Cities,” towns that topped EDWARDS FROM PAGE 1 no back pay. The SPC upheld Dec. 22 an earlier rul ing that Edwards had been discriminated against and deserved a retroactive promo tion to sergeant, back pay adjusted to re flect the promotion and legal fees, but it did not specify how much money that was. The decision states that Edwards is to be “awarded back pay from [June 22,1987] in an amount consisting of any additional pay she would have received had she re ceived the contested promotion to ser BOG FROM PAGE 1 directly because I haven’t read it, ” Spangler said. “But I will say that I am in support of those principles for all people.” Dawn Prince, co-chairwoman of Bi sexuals, Gay men, Lesbians and Allies for Diversity agreed that the current policy WINTER LlflMlHr MS ■ ■ VB, £ l|| I MM IS H mm : BSI M M J| Jgß JHB 3 Days Only Thursday, Friday, Saturday January 1214th Only!

Chapel Hill rated high for its proximity to the mountains, the coast and Pinehurst; big business at Research Triangle Park; the major universities nearby; and a highly educated populace. The magazine also cited the town’s arts scene, saying, “With 50 small nightclubs and a thriving art scene, Chapel Hill is also the most avant-garde small city in America.” Chapel Hill and University officials sup ported the magazine’s estimation of the town. “It’s a University town. It lends itself to those who want to have active lifestyles,” said Joel Harper, president of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. “If you’re a college student or faculty, you have great opportunity at little expense. For the rest of us, the town’s got a tremen dous parks and recreation department.” Mike Loveman, head of the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department, men tioned the University facilities and greenway system as reasons the town was geant.” The state attorney general’s office and Edwards’ attorneys disagree on the inter pretation of this decision with regard to back pay. In his letter, Ziko requested that the SPC amend its Dec. 22 decision to “expressly state that on the facts in this case UNC-CH does not owe (Edwards) any back pay.” Ziko wrote in his letter that “the record shows that (Edwards) would not have re ceived any additional pay had she been ‘promoted’ to sergeant on June 22,1987.” The University supports the position that had Edwards received the promotion needed to be updated. “I think the main reason nondiscrimi nation has not been touched in many years is that people think the UNC system is so tolerant that people aren’t discriminated against," Prince said. Like Cunningham, Prince said that af ter Hardin’s departure a similar policy might not be adopted by anew chancellor. worthy of the honor. “I’ve been here for 16 years, and I cer tainly think that I can vouch personally for that,” he said. “There is a diverse group of activities both cultural and physical.” Rick Satterlee, director of UNC’s Stu dent Recreation Center, said the area of fered a lot to him as an avid tennis player who often participated in other outdoor activities. “It seems that this is a booming area for that aspect of the active life,” he said. “At this University, we have high-profile ath letics, and that has a trickle-down effect.” The article also mentioned 11 cities that had poor showings: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, Min neapolis, New Orleans, New York, San Diego and Washington, D.C. Noted among the New York-based magazine’s “close calls” towns that barely missed the top echelon were Charlotte, Asheville, Albuquerque, N.M.; Bozeman, Mont.; Eugene, Ore.; Roches ter, Minn.; and Tucson, Ariz. she would have continued to hold a posi tion of Police Officer I. A change from Police Officer I to Police Officer II would be necessary to carry with it a pay raise. MarkDorosin, lawpartnerofEdwards’ attorney A McSurely, said that the Uni versity had handled similar cases—in fact, those of other officers involved in the June 1987 promotion decisions by giving them retroactive back pay. McSurely represented four white male officers who were also found to have been treated unfairly in those promotion deci sions and were awarded back pay in late 1989 and early 1990, according to his let “Chancellor Hardin seems to be pretty confident that the new chancellor will adopt his policy,” Prince said. “I, however, am not so confident.” JoanPetit, co-secretary ofthe Women’s Issues Committee of student government, agreed that the BOG should vote on the policy soon. Both Petit and Prince agree that the FEATURES Living the Active Life Men's Fitness magazine rated Chapel Hill as one of America's best places to lira the active life.

Ziko’s letter also requested permission from the SPC to challenge the report of legal fees submitted by McSurely to the SPC. McSurely sent his own letter Tues day to Sobol, asking that Edwards be awarded her back pay immediately be cause the University had not yet appealed the SPC’s decision. According to McSurely’s letter, if the University has objections to the SPC’s fi nal order, “it has the right to appeal it to the N.C. Court of Appeals.” The final decision of whether to appeal the case rests with Chancellor Hardin. BOG might be wary of establishing the new policy because of the new Republican state administration, which is responsible for choosing the members of the BOG. Prince said, “It’s a Catch-22 in that the BOG is afraid to make any drastic move because they may adversely affect their reputation with the new Republican (Gen eral) Assembly.” Campus Calendar THURSDAY 4 p.m. Ecology Seminar: “Convention on Bio logical Diversity: A Landmark for Biodiversity or Biopiracy?" by Hope Shand of Rural Advancement Foundation International, will be held in 128 Wilson Hall.

MEN'S BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1 The defense was good during Georgia Tech’s second-half comeback, but it just hit tough shots, Stackhouse said. “Travis Best hit some tough 35,” Stackhouse said. “Drewßarryhitacouple. There’s not a team in this league that’s not going to make a ran at some point in the game.” But Mclnnis kept Best from getting on track. Best did not score consecutive bas kets for the Jackets, and Mclnnis prevented him from driving to the basket in the half court offense using good footwork and, occasionally, a holding foul at the top of the key. “(Best) is just a really quick guard, and I was just trying to move my feet and stay to him. Every time he’d shoot, I’d just use my height to my advantage and get my hand up.” Best managed just three shots in the first half, and he also had trouble keeping the offense flowing. Best brought an impres sive 3.5-to-l assist-to-turnover ratio into the game, but against Mclnnis he had two turnovers and just three assists. “(Mclnnis) played good defense. You can’t take anything away from him,” Best ELECTIONS FROM PAGE 1 questions about how they might be re solved. “Perhaps it would be a matter for the Student Supreme Court to decide,” she said.

It was just one of those things that I couldn’t get off tonight.” UNC was able to hold off the charge and hit 10-of-14 foul shots in the last four minutes to secure the win. The Tar Heels were 20 of 28 on the night from the line, a dramatic improvement from their 30-of-50 performance against Maryland. But Smith said his team still needed to choose its shots better. At times, he said, the Tar Heels are trying to be too spectacu lar. Still, when teammates are on the same page, the plays—such as Wallace’s alley oop dunk to end the game—can be some thing to behold. “It’s something that’s go ing to be hard for them to leam: It doesn’t have to be a dunk to be exciting,” Smith said. “I’m excited on that last dunk, wasn’tthatexriting?Butwhenwe’rethrow ing it away trying to get a dunk, no.” The Tar Heels’ victory also ended a three-game skid against the Yellow Jackets that dates back to the 1993 season. “We really weren’t worried, thinking about that,” Stackhouse said. “They beat us twice last year, but these are two totally different teams.

Petitions for all offices are due in Suite C by 5 p.m. Jan. 31.
