Student Recreation Center Survives Storm
H A Triangle meteorologist
said this fall had been one of

A heavy, cold rain fell over the Triangle
area Tuesday, and as of 6 p.m., an esti
mated inch of rain had been measured at
Raleigh-Durham International Airport
since midnight, said Ron Humble, Na
tional Weather Service meteorologist.
Although it was closed because of flood
ing in August, the Student Recreation Cen
ter reported business as usual for Tuesday.
Despite the several days of rain, the SRC
had not experienced any problems related
to the weather.
The SRC was not taking any extraordi
nary precautions, said Karen Coil, SRC
administrative assistant.
“The problem (in August) was not with
the design of the building but with some
engineering problems with the system of
pipes to control runoff,” Coil said. “It was
so much rainfall in such a short amount of
time (that) the runoff came into the court
yard."
No reports of any damage to any build
ings had been reported, said Larry Tram
mel, building and grounds supervisor.
A few blocked drains from Men leaves
and construction site dirt runoff were the
only problems on campus Tuesday, Tram
mel said.

Members of the Honor Court more than

sexual assault during their time on the
campus judicial court, Simpson-Vos said.

DiPhi Debates Merits
Of Open-Container Law
■ Some members said the law
should be abolished; others
wanted different penalties.
BY JOHN C. JOHNSON D
STAFF WRITER
Members of the Dialectic and Philan
thropic Literary Societies Tuesday debated
abolishing or reducing the penalty for the
open-container law Tuesday.
In the formal debate, one side aigued
for reducing the penalty for breaking the
law from a misdemeanor to an infraction,
while the other side argued for abolishing
the law. About 20 students watched the
debate in the Bull’s Head Bookshop.
Members of the side for reducing the
penalty said that the open-container law
was too much of a penalty to ask any
person to go through.
Those arguing for abolishing the law
said the open-container law could be cov
eredby other laws which already exist, and
the rationale behind the law was com
pletely against the idea of freedom.
The debate, which lasted for one hour,
ended with five members of the audience
voting that the reduction side won the
debate and five members voting that the
removal side won the debate. Ten mem
bers were undecided. The audience sup
ported eliminating the open-container or
dinance by a vote of 12-1.
The debate began with arguments from
each side, and questions were asked during
the arguments. Chris White, arguing for
reducing the penalty, said the open-con
tainer law resembled the national prohibi
tion law of the 19205.
“Asa misdemeanor, it does hurt busi
nesses on Franklin Street and bars and
alcoholic beverage stores,” White said. “I
think people ... are less prone to possibly
lose control and to unintentionally harm
other people (if the law is reduced and not
removed).
“College students are generally less re
sponsible drinkers than older people, just
because they have less experience,” he
said. “I agree it is a certain violation of
rights, but most laws are.”

The search committee is expected to
recommend three candidates to trustees in
time for them to vote at their December
meeting.

MATTHEW CRAWFORD speaks at
Bull s Head Bookshop Tuesday.
Matt Crawford, arguing for the removal
of the law, said he believed “that this law is
an abomination and should be stricken
from the books entirely.”
“(The law) is repugnant to American
ideals of freedom,” he said. “Only when
celebrations get out ofhand does the viola
tion of another’s rights occur. The leftist
Chapel Hill Town Council has a history of
restricting our rights.”
Jeanne Fugate, president of DiPhi,
closed the debate with arguments for abol
ishing the law. She said the Chapel Hill
ordinance was “asinine and silly.”
“There is absolutely no reason why
someone should not be able to carry an
open beer down the street,” Fugate said.
"The law should either be a strict misde
meanor, very harsh against people, or else
there should be no law at all.
Fugate said the Town Council was rep
resentative of the citizens of the town and
not of the University students.
“They think we’re nothing more than
migrant people coming in for a mere four
years,” she said. “Opening a brewski after
a game is a fundamental and unalienable
right.”

West’s mother told The Buena Vistan
she did not have a problem with the ad.
“It’s advertising,” she said in The Buena
Vistan. “It would be hard to advertise un
derwear if you cover it up.”
Recently Calvin Klein jean ads have
caused controversy and the company is
-being investigated by the -Justice Depart
ment on possible child pornography viola
tions. Asa result, West’s underwear ads
have caught the attention of CNN,
Newsweek, and USA Today, who have all
run stories about West.
The Justice Department investigation
centers around a series of ads with nude or
partially clothed models in the ads.
