Lenoir’s Summer Hours Leave Students Hungry
■ Lenoir is only open on
weekends for special events,
but not for students.

STAFF WRITER
Students looking for a Chick-Fil-A sand
wich or a personal pan pizza on campus on
the weekends are out of luck. Lenoir Din
ing Hall closes at 7 p.m. on Friday and does
not reopen until 7:30 a.m. Monday.
Director of Food Services Scott Meyers
said Lenoir is usually closed for the week
end in the summer.
“Lenoir has always been closed on the
weekends unless there is some event going
on, like aconference, ” Meyers said. Lenoir
was open on the weekend for the Berkshire
Women’s History Conference. The dining
hall was closed to students.
The decision to close during weekends
is based on previous summer evaluations
of students’ dining demands, Meyers said.

As of March, the salary of the lowest
paid white first-year Sanitation Collector
Levell was $17,163. The lowest-paid black
first-year employee in the same position
earned $15,685.
Mattßobinson, anintemfortheßPWA,
said 10 of the Public Works Department
employees made less than the lowest-paid
white Sanitation Collector. All 10 employ
ees are black.
The BPWA also addressed the problem
of racially biased evaluations and their
potential effect on pay raises. According to
the budget, the town will be able to imple
ment a percentage increase to all employ
ees that would be based on the midpoint of
the employee’s salary range. These raises

Street, but most students aren’t here on the
weekend so there isn’t a great demand for
Lenoir to stay open," Meyers said. “It’s a
decision that is iso unified with what the
University proposes after careful evalua
tion.”
Garett Watson, aworker at Lenoir, said
he thought students should have limited
on-campus dining options on weekends.
“At least one food station should stay
open on the weekends, not for breakfast or
dinner, but for lunch,” Watson said.
Deborah Smith, another Lenoir em
ployee, said there should be an eatery that
stayed open seven days a week on campus.
“The students put money into their meal
plans so there should be at least one place
open on campus for them,” Smith said.
Sophomore Tara Brown said the dining
hall should stay open because students
depended on it. “Lenoir should remain
open on weekends for lunch and dinner
because a lot of times the only money
students have to spend on food is on their
UNC One Card,” Brown said.
Lenoir opens from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 7:00p.m. weekdays.

“living wage.”
The BPWA press release stated the ac
tual amount of the percentage raise in the
town’s budget (3.75 percent) would vary
based upon employee performance ratings
determined by evaluations.
England said racially discriminatory
evaluations had been a long-standing con
cern of the BPWA.
“Ever since times of slavery, white su
pervisors and crew leaders have been re
sponsible for evaluating black workers,”
England said. “Basing employee salary
increases on these evaluations only per
petuates racial disparity and worsens mo
rale among employees.”
England said the BPWA had evidence

The limited summer hours of Lenoir Dining Hall have sparked debate
among students who depend on their UNC ONE Cards for meals.
musical accompaniment.
“What we sing really depends on the
audience,” Fischer said. “We try to match
the plot of the aria with the people at the
table.”
In addition some customers often re
quest certain arrangements or composers,
Fischer explained.
Fischer, 22, will graduate from UNC
this summer with a double major in music
and English. While at UNC, the Greens-
white supervisors and crew members were
biased and racially discriminatory.
The BPWA cannot divulge this evi
dence until the Equal Employment Oppor
tunity Commission has investigated the
allegations.
To deal with problems in the budget, the
BPWA formulated a number of proposals
called the Freedom Budget Proposals.
One proposal suggested that the Town
Council implement a series of progressive
flat tax raises according to employee’s cur
rent income.
The BPWA claimed these raises would
ease compression.
The BPWA also discussed a number of
other proposals in its Freedom Budget that
would deal with the problems of racial
discrimination and unfair salary raises that
the BPWA said were inherent in the bud
get.

boro native performed for Opera Theatre
and the Chamber Players, among several
other groups. After the summer she will be
furthering her education in London, where
she will study for her masters in voice at the
Royal Academy of Music.
Yates also graduated in 1995 with a
double major in music and English. She
will be going to New York, where she will
attend the Manhattan School ofMusic and
work toward her masters in vocal perfor
mance.
Summer seems to offer no respite for
Fischer and Yates. The two are currently
on a two week trip to the Baroque Perfor
mance Institute at Oberlin Conservatory,
where they are performing the works of
Bach and other German baroque compos
ers.
“This trip is somewhat atypical,” Yates
said. “In America there tends to be a break
between early classical music and main
stream Italian and French opera. I hope to
fit somewhere in between.”
After their work there, Yates will leave
for a five week stint as a choral assistant
andaccompanist at Governor’s SchoolEast
in Laurinburg, North Carolina, while
Fischer will return to her appreciative cus
tomers.
While the concept of singing servers or
hostesses at restaurants is not anew idea,
the Macaroni Grill is certainly atypical in
the type of songs they offer customers. The
classical training ofboth Fischer and Yates
helps elevate them past the ranks of many
would-be crooning waiters.
Both Fischer and Yates enjoy the op
portunity to work in a job where they
actually get to practice their craft.
“Singing at the Macaroni Grill has cer
tainly helped my performance skills,”
Fischer said. “I’ve learned to be less ner
vous since I’ve had to sing to an audience
that is right in your face.”
Council member Mark Chilton, who
attended thenews conference, saidhesym
pathized with the BPWA’s problems and
said if they could not be solved this year
then maybe they could be next year.
“(The BPWA proposals) significantly
help out the people at the very lowest pay
grades,” Chilton said.
However, Chilton expressed doubt that
the Town Council would consider address
ing the BPWA’s problems.
England explained that the BPWA
would continue to work with the Town
Council on more equitable and racially
unbiased town practices.
“Weplanto continue our assault on the
budget system until we can get the coop
eration from the Town Council,” England
said.
“We are not going to wait, and we will
still be around.”

estimated $lB million to revamp the cam
pus dormitories. The $lB million figure
arises from an estimate of $4.32 per square
foot. Spangler said the cost could be as
much as 20 percent more or less.
Wayne Kuncl, director ofhousing, said,
“That’s probably still a vety conservative
number.”
Kuncl said figures needed to include
possible renovations to get rid of asbestos.
“If you have to do asbestos abatement,
you have to add that to the cost of sprinkler
systems,” he said.
University planners have estimated an
additional sl3 million in necessary reno
vations to remove asbestos and improve
fire safety capabilities.
Kuncl said UNC had established a sys-

The letter also stated that the members
of fraternities should routinely check fire
equipment, clean up all trash or residue
that could easily be flammable and hold
meetings to review safety measures.
Schroeder and Binder stated that mem

Alderman Hank Anderson asked simi
lar questions of the current parking short
age.
“lam concerned about parking on Main
Street,” Anderson said of existing parking
problems. He then questioned Silver.
“What are your ideas about parking? Where
will you be seeking additional parking?”
Silver said he had looked into satellite
parking, without avail. He said he felt the
site’s current parking spaces would be ad

tomer transition experienced by a short

Ken Holland, son of property owner
Murry Holland, and former supervisor in
the proposed site, spoke on behalf of Silver.
SEX EDUCATION

Another major concern expressed by
parents was the need to begin sexual edu
cation at an earlier age than mandated by
the program.
Dr. Charlie Van der Horst, a parent
attending the meeting, said his second
grade daughter was already able to com
prehend the importance of safe sex to con
trol the spread of the HIV virus and other
sexually transmitted diseases.
He also revealed some startling data
about sexuality and Orange County. Van

were infected with HIV. Twenty-seven
people in the county are afflicted with
AIDS.

tem of renovating the residence halls on a
schedule. Old East and Old West, both of
which have sprinklers, are the most re
cently renovated living areas.
“ Our next renovations would be Aycock
and Graham, and in that project we would
be adding sprinkler systems,” he said.
Kuncl said so far he had not received
plans beyond the two residence halls.
“But as future buildings move into our
planning cycle, they will be included,” he
said. “And any future project would in
clude sprinkler systems.”
Spangler said the University system
might be tempting fate and history by not
providing fire safety.
“Nobody can remember there ever be
ing a fatality in a dorm owned by the
University caused by a fire,” he said.
“It seems like an impossible good for
tune.”
“Historically, when the fraternity and
sorority houses are empty, we increase our
services and patrols to the area,” she said.
Adarßerghoff, a member ofDelta Sigma
Phi fraternity, said he sees police patrols
drive by his fraternity house several times
a day.
“People see fraternity houses as easy
targets, and we need to make sure our
houses stay secure,” Berghoff said.
Will Leonard, the lodge manager and
member of Chi Psi fraternity, said they are
making a concerted effort to secure their
house.
“I make a round checking the doors one
final time before we go to bed,” Leonard
said.
“It’s our home, and we’re trying to keep
an eye out.”
“Randy will have more than enough
parking,” said Holland. “We had many
more ‘ins’ and 'outs’ than Randy’s going to
have and we were fine. The site is a good
place to make business.”
The Board passed the CUP unanimously
with the stated condition that Meineke
continue investigating parking.
The Board agreed to approve the appli
cation so long as parking expansion re
quests were met, drainage requirements
adhered to, cut trees replaced and the aes
thetic nature of the business be reviewed by
the Appearance Commission.
In addition to the prerequisites, Silver
also agreed to further requests. The aider
men asked about driving safety, commu
nity use of parking facilities after working
hours, a review of the business’s aesthetic
nature, the hiring of local workers and
requests to recycle used mufflers.
13 to 19 were diagnosed in Orange County
in 1995 with a sexually transmitted disease
such as gonorrhea. Also, the number of
females aged 10 to 19 who had either given
birth or had an abortion in the county was
219.
The issue of homosexuality was ad
dressed, as well.
The sexual education program promotes
abstinence until marriage, thus excluding
homosexuals. Eliza Dußose said the word
ing of the curriculum should be changed to
include homosexuals.
The school system has only one more
step to finish, as they have already adopted
a policy stating that students will learn
about contraceptives and held a public
hearing about it. They must now continue
to have their teaching materials on display
for the remainder of June and July.
