Vinroot said creating a community much like the one already at UNC would be one of his goals if he was elected gover nor in November. “There’s nothing quite like Chapel Hill and nothing quite like the relationships between people here,” Vinroot said. While the UNC-system schools have done a good job of providing higher educa tion to the people of North Carolina, Vinroot said, it was equally important to continue work to increase the quality of primary education. Vinroot said the key to improving edu cation in North Carolina was competition. Part of his plan was to change the system by which North Carolina teachers receive pay raises to a merit-based system. everybody,” said Lisa Baaske, the rec reation superinten dent.

Vinroot also spoke about his plan to fight crime, which included increasing the number of judges and district attorneys across the state. North Carolina needs to invest money in drug treatment and job-training pro grams for criminals to prevent repeat of fenders, Vinroot said.

Vinroot cited the Global Transpark as an example of tb e type of project he wanted to promote. “That’sworih pursuing andtrying across the state not just a Global Transpark, but infrastructure, like schools and high ways,” Vinroot said. A group of about a dozen supporters of Robin Hayes, Vinroot’s chief Republican opponent, also gathered during the speech. TTie Hayes supporters held up signs accus ing Vinroot of lying about his record as mayor of Charlotte. Vinroot responded by pointing to the growth of the city during his two terms in office and his 1995 award for Municipal Leader of the Year from American City and County Magazine. “If someone who is the best mayor in America doesn’t have a good record, who does have a good record?” years has been overcrowding. Baaske said this was a result of the way the booths were arranged along the streets. Previously there were lines of booths on each side of the street and a single line of booths down the middle. “One of the biggest complaints was that there was no room to move around, ” she said. This year the set-up has been changed by removing booths from the middle of the street, leaving only booths lining the sidewalk. Apple Chill organizers will also be al lowed to use part of the Morehead parking lot for festivities for the first time.

Hinson spoke as part of the Blacks in the Diaspora Lecture Series in the Sonja Haynes Stone Black Cultural Center. Watford learned that if he wanted any thing he had to make it himself or buy it, Hinson said. Having grown up in the De pression, Watford carved toys for himself and his siblings. As Watford grew older, he began to make carvings based on his past, Hinson said. “He (Wafford) came to realize that carv ing was a way of telling history,” Hinson said. “Watfordbecame a chronicle in wood of community.” Watford’s carvings stray from the most commonly carved figures and include Af rican princesses, dancing Africans, slave mothers, sharecroppers and their families. However, Watford’s work remained tra ditional, Hinson said. “It’s not form, but rather the role they play in the community that is traditional, ” Hinson said. “It’s the role of spokesperson. They are respected for the way their art istry connects past to present.” at the Carolina Union ticket office. Call 962-4391 or 914-5129 for more information.

SerVance, who also grew up during the Depression, began carving dancing dolls asaboy after he sawoneinastore. SerVance wanted to buy one, but his family could not afford it so his father encouraged him to make his own. At age 10, SerVance carved his first doll, Hinson said. “Then he recognized that he could cre ate a moment of grace,” Hinson said. Throughout his adult life SerVance carved whenever he had spare time, Hinson said. While he was ill in the hospital for an extended time, he began carving dolls for other hospital patients. “Then he realized that his duty was to become a carver,” Hinson said. “He earned a reputation as a carver. Evety one began to request his dolls. They were dancing in the playground of his imagination.” SerVance carved dancing farmers, ca dets and even a black Uncle Sam, Hinson said. As he continued to carve, his work became more detailed. SerVance rounded the faces of his subjects and dressed them in elaborate tuxedos. “He is always seek ing to change,” Hinson said. Hinson said the art market often tried to change folk artists. “Some artists adopt market desires as their own,” Hinson said. “They redefine themselves to a market created image .Some believe that they have the money to buy, thus the money to control.” Both SerVance and Watford have sold their work to art collectors, Hinson said. But Hinson said the artists had not al lowed the collectors to change their artistic style. Hinson said both SerVance and Watford continued to carve today.
