Volunteers
Give Back to
Community
BY TODD DARLING
ARTS AND FEATURES EDITOR
For their resumes, for personal gratifi
cation or simply to have something to do
people volunteer their time to local
organizations for various reasons.
Volunteer Orange, an umbrella organi
zation of the Triangle United Way, pro
vides an outlet to publicize local volunteer
ing opportunities with such nonprofit or
ganizations as Orange Correctional Cen
ter and the Chapel Hill Teen Center.
“Chapel Hill is a very involved commu
nity," Volunteer Orange Director Louise
Anderson said.
Anderson said Volunteer Orange places
approximately 500 to 600 volunteers an
nually . The organization builds a database
of local agencies that need volunteers.
“We advertise for specific volunteers
outlets through Cablevision and posters
and flyers we put up,” Anderson said.
Some organizations are completely com
prised ofvolunteers, such as Orange County
Habitat for Humanity, said Robert Krause
office and program coordinator.
“Volunteers are the backbone and heart
of our organization,” he said. “From the
Board of Directors right down to the con
struction workers, we only have three paid
employees.”
He said that a certain core group of
volunteers have been active for approxi
mately five years or more. “They are a
group that continues to give,” he said.
Jen Barr, programs director of the
Chapel Hill Women’s Center, said the
project was necessary for the center’s exist
ence. “We wouldn’t be here without vol
unteers,” Barr said.
Anderson said volunteers often refer
friends and families, but most of the volun
teer load comes from University students.
“(Volunteering) is a good opportunity for
them to decide what they’ll be doing in the
future,” she said.
To help agencies in working with the
volunteers, the organization holds a train
ing session two to four times a year in order
to teach skills in managing volunteers.
“We want them to get the best use of
volunteer programs,” Anderson said.
Points of Light, another United Way
Organization, estimated the value of vol
unteer hours at approximately sl2 an hour.
Anderson said at this estimate, volunteers
give millions of dollars to the community
each year. Although people volunteer for
many reasons, all of them are drawn to
gether by similar feelings of well-being,
Anderson said. “This experience enriches
people’s lives so much,” she said.

With the new acquisition, the N&O
found it had two enterprises with different
delivery routes within the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro area.
Dick Henderson, apublic relations rep
resentative for the N&O, said the Raleigh
paper could not keep both routes viable.
“The decision not to re-hire the children
was purely from a business standpoint,”
Henderson said. “It just wasn’t economi
cally sound to keep both routes going.”

The Village Advocate was originally
delivered on Wednesday afternoons, a
perfect time for younger children to deliver
the papers on a small route.
Since the buyout the paper has been
coming out daily and is delivered early in
the morning along with the N&O to a
wider area. This new system made it more
difficult for the children to deliver the pa
pers.
These larger routes and the heavier loads
the children had to carry also contributed
DA Dismisses Cases of Suspects
In April Greek Freak Shooting
■ The assistant district
attorney said there was not
enough evidence to convict.
STAFF REPORT
The cases against two suspects in an
April on-campus shooting were dismissed
in Chapel Hill district court Friday due to
lack of evidence.
The two suspects, Zell Everette Harris,
Jr. of Apex and Anthony Lamont
McEachin of Raleigh, were charged with
the April 13 shooting that occurred after
the Greek Freak party and step show in the
Great Hall and Carmichael Auditorium.
The two were passengers in a red 1995
Honda from which three shots were fired,
two of which hit Shon Chambers of
Durham in the legs as he was crossing
South Road in front of Fetzer Gym.
The driver of the car, Plimpton Lee
Robinson, also ofßaleigh, was also charged
in the shooting. His case is still pending.
Robinson waschargedwithas sault with
a deadly weapon with intent to kill and
Harris and McEachin were charged with
aiding and abetting the assault. None of
the three men were UNC students. The
men were arrested the night of the shooting
after being pulled over for speeding.

to the decision not to re-hire the kids.
“Before the kids only had to deliver 20-
25 papers, with the new routes their load
sometimes doubled and we were worried
they couldn’thandleit,” Vadensaid. “The
length of the routes also required cars, and
our people were already equipped to deal
with that.”
School officials said the Village
Advocate’s paper routes were a big source
of income for local school children.
“It’s clear that this will make a substan
tial impact,” said Kim Hoke, assistant to
the superintendent of the Chapel Hill-
Carrboro school system.
Assistant DistrictAttomey Jim Woodall
said the evidence in the case suggested
Robinson was the one who fired the shots
from the car, but that there was not enough
evidence to convict Harris and McEachin
of any crime if the case went to trial.
“One of the witnesses said they thought
it was the driver that fired the shots,”
Woodall said. “That’s simply not enough
to make (Harris and McEachin) aiders and
abettors or accessories.”
But Harris and McEachin might not be
through with court dates yet. Woodall said
the two men could be important witnesses
if Robinson’s case does get to trial.
“(Robinson’s trial) will be on the mo
tions and arraignments calendar and then,
ifitgoestothepointwhereithastobetried,
(Harris and McEachin) will likely be sub-,
poenaed to testify in the case.”
The incident was one in a series of
violent crimes that took place in the vicin
ity of the Student Union during the spring
semester either while a party was going on
in the Great Hall or after one had ended.
On March 23, a fight broke out following a
sorority event in the Great Hall. A week
later, a Duke University student said he
was surrounded by a group of men while
waiting to get inside a Great Hall party and
a man was attacked at the same intersec
tion where the shooting occurred.
