DTH Forum to Bring
Candidates to Campus
BYEMUYB. NEWELL
STAFF WRITER
Students will get the chance to go head
to-head with Canboro candidates in a fo
rum designed to promote open communi
cation between student voters and town
politicians. The Daily Tar Heel Elections
Forum will be held in the Union Audito
rium on Sunday at 7 p.m.
“We are hosting the forum in order to
stimulate student interest in local issues,”
said DTH Editor Thanassis Cambanis.
Cambanis said the forum was an impor
tant resource for the large portion of off
campus students who live in Carrboro.
Carrboro Mayoral candidate Randy
Marshall said he planned to direct discus
sions to student issues. “Students are a
significant constituency in Carrboro,”
Marshall said.
Marshall said he would focus on trans
portation and public consumption of alco
hol. “Students can elect people who listen
to their concerns,” he said.
The forum’s format will follow an
open—mike format after moderator Jen
Fiumara, opens with a series of questions
to begin the discussion. The audience can
also ask questions of specific candidates or
the group.
Student Body President Calvin
Cunningham encouraged students to take
advantage of the chance for open commu
nication between the students and candi
dates.
“This is a valuable opportunity for can
didates to air their views—particularly on

the committee had been working on the
principles before the self-study was con
ducted.
The principles state that all salary deci
sions should be based on open, publicly
stated criteria and salaries should be merit
based.
The executive conimittee also has pro
posed that the faculty should preview the
criteria and administrators should allocate
resources to salaries based on merit.
“If those are approved then the execu

issues concerning alcohol policy, transpor
tation and crime,” he said. “I encourage
every student who is registered in Carrboro
to come out to the discussion.”
Carrboro Alderman candidate David
Collins said he viewed students as resi
dents. “All too often candidates are asked,
‘what are important student issues?,” he
said. “However, I see that student issues
are important for all citizens, such as af
fordable housing, public safety and conve
nient services.”
Collins emphasized the importance of
student awareness of local elections. “It is
important for students to participate in
local elections to make their voices heard
for all students and for those to come in the
future,” he said.
Collins said student involvement in elec
tions was important because students were
more than just short-term citizens. “Stu
dent issues that are important will be im
portant for future students and students
that decide to settle in the Carrboro area,"
Collins said.
Charles Rigsbee, another Carrboro
mayoral candidate, said students who live
in Carrboro had an important influence, if
they exercised their right to vote. “If stu
dents are registered to vote in Canboro,
they should exert their responsibility of
voting in that there is a responsibility to
weigh the issues prior to casting their bal-
how to implement those principles,” said
Interim Provost Richard Richardson.
Richardson said faculty members had
been saying salaries should be based on
consultation with faculty.
Brown said the council was beginning
to ask faculty how salaries should be dis
tributed. “We would like to proceed with
these principles," she said. “There’s never
been a University policy about how sala
ries are distributed.”
Farel said departments had different
criteria, and he thought faculty members
wanted them to be open. He said the prin
ciples would allow for fairness in the distri
bution of salary resources throughout de
partments, he said.

Student Don’t Have to Walk to Franklin for Pepper’s
BYDAVIDSIMONEAUX
STAFF WRITER
Pepper’s Pizza, knownmoreforits eclec
tic style and atmosphere rather than its
pizza, opened a separate delivery service in
Carrboro last week for people who love the
food.
Owner Erwin Shatzen said he had
thought about delivery service in the past,
but nothing really happened until he found
an idle commercial kitchen sitting in
Carrboro. “We have never done delivery
in the past because we were blessed to be
very busy,” he said.
Shatzen said his pizza service had the
potential to survive, because he had checked
around with the other pizza deliveries in
town to see what was “out there."
“We are proud of the quality food we
make, such as whole pies and calzones,
and I think currently you can’t get all of
that delivered to your home,” he said.
Shatzen said since most people ordered
slices at lunch rather than whole pizzas,
the new Pepper’s Delivery is open seven
days a week from 4 p.m. to midnight,
skipping the lunch hours.
“We had to start somewhere,” Shatzen
said. “We just opted to start with the eve
nings.”
However, Shatzen said there was a pos
sibility of lunch delivery in the future.
As of now, Pepper’s Pizza has not
jumped on the advertising campaign, but
has relied mainly on off-campus students
and year-round residents for their busi-

Chapel Hill High School Principal
Charles “Butch” Patterson said, “It is a
problem, and, unfortunately, the problem
is ours, but the problem is certainly larger
than just us. “As more students are being
diagnosed with ADD, the use of Ritalin is
increasing, and the drug is becoming more
available, ” he said. “We’re treating it as we
do any substance abuse problem.”
Even though school district policy re
quires that students register all prescription
medication with school administrators,
many older students prefer to take their
medication by themselves at school, ac
cording to Kim Hoke, spokeswoman for
the Chapel-Carrboro City School system.
This self-medication results in potential
distribution of the drugto students without
any disorders.
