University hopes
for Chase Hall
ATMs this spring
BY SHARIF DURHAMS
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDDOR
South Campus residents may have an easier way to get quick
cash if a proposed automatic teller machine is installed there
next month, said Carolyn Elfland, associate vice chancellor for
business.
Facilities Planning and Design is drawing plans for a bank
of ATM machines, similar to the one next to Student Stores, to
be built next to Chase Hall.
Although this project wouldn’t be completed until spring,
Elfland said the University would try to get a temporary ATM
put inside the Chase Mini-Mart. “It’s much quicker to get one
of the free-standing machines that go inside,” she said.
The drawbacks of these “ATM Juniors,” are they cannot
accept deposits and are not accessible when the store is closed.
Elfland said she would like to place a machine that credited
students’ UNC ONE Cards right next to the proposed ATM
Junior. “You could literally get some money out of the ATM
machine and put it on your ONE Card.”
Currently, there is a Wachovia bank teller machine located
at the Security Services building behind Morrison Residence
Hall, but Elfland said not many students or employees were
using it. She said the machine might be moved to the proposed
ATM facility.
“In the agreement we have with (Wachovia), if there is not
adequate business, we can relocate (the machine).’’
Scott Hammack, co-chairman of die Student Services Com
mittee, said the teller machine was definitely being closed.
Elfland said the low usage of the Wachovia ATM and the

Third parties gain popular support
BY ANDREW PARK
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS EDITOR
Think ofthe race for president as prime
time television. On the major networks,
the Democrats and Republicans present
their conventions, nominate their candi
dates and attack each other in commer
cials. They are good-looking, polished
and popular, just like the casts of
“Friends” and “Melrose Place.”
Switch over to cable and it’s a different
story. The many contenders for third
party status are happy to get even a few
viewers. On the History Channel, there
is the Libertarian Party. The Sci-Fi Chan
nel has the Natural Law Party. On the
Discovery Channel,it’sßalphNader and
the Green Party. And over at the Cartoon
Network, Ross Perot and the all-new
Reform Party.
In truth, however, the alternatives to
the major parties expect to be taken more
seriously as disaffection with the estab
lished political players grows. Those that
have met stiff state requirements for get
ting on the ballot look forward to a keen
fight for North Carolina’s votes.
No longer operating at the fringes,
third parties have thousands of support
ers statewide, as their appearance on the
North Carolinaballot demonstrates. Par
ties were required to gather nearly 52,000
verifiable signatures of registered voters
in order to compete on Nov. 5. The
Reform Party gathered 177,000 signa
tures. The Libertarians worked for six
months getting over 80,000 names.
Students concoct practical, bizarre
cures for morning-after hangovers
BYTOMACrTELLI
STAFF WRITER
Since returning to school, thousands of UNC
students awoke with parched throats, throbbing
heads and aching stomachs all major compo
nents of the collegiate nightmare known as the
hangover.
And while nearly all revelers find a hangover
unavoidable, students generally insist it’s not incur
able. In fact, as sure as beer foams, students have
developed their own methods —some quite practi
cal, some sickeningly bizarre—for conquering this
hellish reminder of a night spent downing a bit too
much booze.
“The cure’s different every day that I wake up
hungover," said Gabe Beecher, a junior from Bos
ton, Mass. “Usually, it’s ibuprofen and lemonade
for beer or Tylenol and waffles for liquor. Overall, I
think that it’s important to get something in your
stomach.”
On the other hand, junior Matt Cole of Kingston,
N. Y., has only one important caveat for the morning
recognized the pieces immediately as the
missingbust. He tookthe bust to the BCC
immediately after finding it.
The Great Hall had been closed for
two weeks due to floor work.
Detective Larry Caldwell said Uni
versity Police would continue to investi
gate the incident.
“We would still like to know who
broke it,” he said. “We do believe it was
accidental and whoever broke it threw it
in the comer. As things are now, it’s not
being pursued as a crime.”
Caldwell said if the person who broke
the bust was found, he or she would be

One of the most successful parties has
been the Natural Law Party, which is on
the ballot in 48 states this year, inrhidhig
North Carolina. Formed in 1992, the
party advocates preventative health care,
transcendental meditation in schools and
rehabilitating criminals, California chair
woman Abaan Abu-Shumayf said. The
party is holding its convention today and
has nominated John Haglin, a Harvard
trained quantum physicist, for president
Earlier this summer, the Libertarians
nominated Harry Browne, a Tennessee
investment advisor and author, to head
their ticket. Browne has attacked Repub
licans and Democrats for increasing the
size of government and raising taxes.
The Libertarians want to get the fed
eral government out of education, law
enforcement and gun ownership, accord
ing to Dave Walker, a Libertarian who is
after. “lusuallyjustwakeupanddrinkabeer,” Cole
said. “But it takes years of practice to get to that
point.”
If Beecher’s and Cole’s methods seem just a tad
too harsh, then perhaps Alyce Miller’s hangover
remedy is more reassuring.
“I take one B-complex vitamin at night and one
in the morning to bum up the alcohol, ’’ said Miller,
a freshman from Charlotte. “Also, I think drinking
lots of citric acids such as grapefruit juice helps.”
For Jeff Booth, a junior from Lexington, Ky., the
cure need not necessarily be mild.
“V 8 juice with a shot of vodka and a heck of a lot
of Tabasco sauce will get you going within an
hour,” Booth said.
Vitamins, waffles, Tabasco sauce, water and
more Budweiser. Are any of these cures truly able to
demolish a hangover?

“If we talk to them and get a satisfac
tory explanation, chances are the case
will be closed,” Caldwell said.
The bust, donated in 1993, depicted
Stone as a Zulu maiden.
BCC Director Gerald Home said his
staff was being more cautious in light of
the incident. “Certainly, we’re trying to

“I don’t think it takes a lawyer to

The Reform Party also takes a no
nonsense approach to government, a tack
their nominee has become famous for.
Texas billionaire Ross Perot is the soul of

giving simple, homespun answers to re
porters’ questions.
His supporters chafe at that assertion,
claiming Perot forced the Republicans
and Democrats to talk about political
and governmental reform when he ran
for president in 1992.
“The principles of the party are identi
cal to what Perot brought to the table in
1992,” said Herb Drew, the party’s North
Carolina chairman. “He has been so suc
cessful in explaining the major issues that
politicians from both parties are fre

his issues but using his exact words.”

Student government wants
more safety improvements
BY jOHN SWEENEY
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
The installation of callboxes and a
lighting corridor stretchingfromFranklin
Street to the Pit improved campus safety,
but members of student government say
there are still things that could be done to
make the campus safer.
Student Body President Aaron Nelson
said the University’s efforts to deal with
safety issues have been encouraging, but
he also hoped to see the installation of an
emergency callbox in the Pit, in addition
to a nonemergency telephone for stu
dents coming from the Undergraduate
Library.
“The (important) thing is that stu
dents are really pleased to see the Univer
sity responding to students’ concerns
about lighting and callboxes,” Nelson
said.
Nelson and Student Body Treasurer
Julie Gasperini said they were also look
ing into the possibility of opening up the
services of SAFE Escort to men and
women walking in pairs.
“It’s kind of unfair that (men) pay the
fee and aren’t allowed to use the service, ”
Gasperini said.
Nelson also said he spoke with Chapel
Hill and Carrboro officials about im
proving lighting in the two towns, espe
cially in areas that are frequented by
students.

Recycling
program
praised
■ Chapel Hill’s recycling
program was named one of
the finest in the nation.
BY AMY CAPPIELLO
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
In the wake of the search for the new
Orange County landfill, local govern
ments are trying to stress the importance
of recycling and waste reduction.
One activist group may have helped
the struggle along by highlighting Chapel
Hill’s recycling efforts.
U.S. Public Interest Research Group
recently named Chapel Hill’s recycling
plan one of the strongest in the country.
The group specifically praised the Chapel
Hill Town Council’s “Buy Recycled”
plan, which passed in May. Under this
ordinance, the town can only buy print
ing and writing paper with a 20 percent
post-consumer recycled material content.
Council members said they were very
happy with the attention the town’s recy
cling program has garnered.
“Clearly we’re pleased to receive such
an award,” council member Joe
Capowski said. “Any positive feedback
is good, especially because any positive
publicity that can make people more
aware of recycling possibilities is good. ”
Council member Lee Pavao said he
believed the town had a great recycling
program.
“I think we probably have one of the
better recycling programs in the state,”
Pavaosaid. “Ithinkifwecanpointtothis
as a benefit and make people more aware
of recycling, we can turn (the award) into
a win-win situation.’’
Chapel Hill May or Rosemary Waldorf
said while she was pleased with the an
nouncement, she did not believe the ac
complishment was especially significant.
She said she was not sure town residents
placed much emphasis on such awards.
“I don’t know how much attention
people pay to role models when it comes
to recycling,” Waldorf said. “I think the
key factors in whether or not people re
cycle is how easy it is and how much is
costs.”
“I’ve already talked with (Carrboro
Mayor Mike Nelson and Chapel Hill
Mayor Rosemary Waldorf) about light
ing tours,” Nelson said.
The lighting tours, like the ones spon
sored by student government last year,
would help officials find areas where
poor lighting could pose dangers for stu
dents.
The University planned to install about
45 emergency callboxes on campus at a
cost of roughly $4,000 per callbox, said
PhysicalPlantDirector Herb Paul. About
20 callboxes were already installed, he
said.
Paul said the Physical Plant would
begin work this semester on finishing the
final leg of the Franklin Street-to-
Morrison Residence Hall lighting corri
dor.
The University installed three high
pressure sodium lights aroundFratemity
Court in July to increase safety for pedes
trian traffic going to and from the frater
nity houses and Granville Towers.
Paul said he also felt the University
could do more to make campus safer.
“There’s always something we can
do,” Paul said. “I do think we’re pretty
safe, but that doesn’t mean we’re going
to sit back and watch.”
Some of those future plans included
constructing additional lighting corridors
stretching from the east side of campus to
the west side, Paul said.
