2 Wednesday, September 4,1996 SRC undergoes structural, programming changes ■ Recent renovations to the facility should make it more user-friendly. BY STEPHANIE M. SHAW STAFF WRITER When students return to the Student Recreation Center this fall, they might not notice some of the changes made to the facility over the summer, but they’re bound to feel them. SRC Director Lauren Mangili said the some of the new improvements were put in place to make students’ workout experiences more comfortable. “We added the set of doors to keep the cold weather out and to prevent heat loss SOCCER FROM PAGE 1 Any additional incidents by the team or players will result in suspensions and possibly more game forfeitures. “I am very concerned about this inci dent and consider it a very serious mat ter,” Swofford stated in an earlier release Tuesday afternoon. “The team captains deny that this was an initiation for freshman team mem bers. However, the party was ill advised and inappropriate.” In a prepared statement, Chancellor Michael Hooker said the team’s behav ior was clearly unacceptable and that it would not be tolerated at UNC. COURT FROM PAGE 1 Clark said he would not say how many shots were fired or how many times Morrow was wounded because those details were all part of the impending trial. He also said he could not comment on the type of gun used in the shooting, although he did say it was a handgun. Clark said police arrested Blackwell later Sunday morning at his home in Chapel Hill. The arrest took place with out incident. “(Blackwell) was located at his house, ” Clark said. “No standoff occurred. A relative helped us go into the house and get him out.” According to police reports, Blackwell was employed by the Town of Chapel Hill in the maintenance division of the Housing Department. Blackwell is currently being held in the Orange County Jail in Hillsborough. Hr ' llllf ■KB n Macintosh. More affordable than ever.

In addition, the SRC added new handi capped-accessible doors to meet Ameri cans with Disabilities Act guidelines, Mangili said. Moreover, Mangili said new drains were added to prevent flooding like that which occurred in August of last year. Torrential rains during the second week of classes flooded the area immeidately in front of the SRC’s main entrance and leaked into the building itself. Because of the flooding, the SRC had to replace carpet and damaged drywall in the weight room and Wellness Resource Center. The flooding caused more than SIOO,OOO in damages, Mangili said. Geoff Gardner, a senior from Fayetteville, said he was glad to see the “I am very disappointed by this inci dent and pledge to work even harder to address aggressively the issue of alcohol, both through on-campus groups and the Substance Abuse Task Force,” he stated. The binge was reported to University Police when freshman Gregory Danielson, 18, ofßloomington, Ind., was released from UNC Hospitals early Mon day morning after being taken to the emergency room the night before for con suming large amounts of alcohol. Danielson said he remembered drink ing heavily, but little else. The party occurred at the Carrboro residence of team co-captain Carey Talley. According to University Police reports, the gathering was labeled a “soc Wednesday 3:30 p.m. - Discuss the experiences and concerns that arise from being a member of a minority group at UNC at a Minority Student Support Group meeting in the University Coun seling Center. 4p.m. - The Undergraduate Sociology Club will meet in Union 206. 5 p.m. - Student Environmental Action Coalition will hold a dinnertime meeting to plan for a vegetarian outreach.

Items of Interest The UNC Young Republicans' “Rush UNIVERSITY & CITY new drainage system in place. “It will be better because we don’t have to worry about the SRC closing due to rain and flooding,” Gardner said. Students used a temporary entrance on the side of the SRC during the con struction. Anew security policy requires stu dents to show their UNC ONE Card to enter Fetzer gym through the SRC after the Fetzer doors are locked at 3:30 p.m., she said. Mangili said no excuses would be tolerated. But the changes are not just physical; students can expect to see programming changes at the SRC as well. The SRC is offeringnew aerobic classes at new times this fall, including a Step Too class and a Step/Pump/Jump class that involves step aerobics, using a jump cer initiation.” However, University Po lice Chief Don Gold said Tuesday that Officer Ernest Caviness’ perspective was only speculation. James Johnson, a senior soccer player who attended the party, said that Danielson was not forced to drink any thing —he simply got sick. The party, he reiterated, was in no way an initiation. “We’re sorry things turned out like it did,” he said. “Definitely no one was forced to do anything.” Swofford stated that he would require the soccer team to take part in a commu nity service project and he would also refer the incident to the student attorney general’s office for review.

Brewery delays opening to make things ‘just right’ BY AARON LEVINE STAFF WRITER In order to take care of a few finishing touches, Top of the Hill, the long-antici pated FraiMn Street restaurant, missed its planned opening date last Saturday. Co-owner and UNC Alumnus Scott Maitland said the restaurant could have opened as planned, but “(we) wanted to make sure everything was just right.” Maitland explained the restaurant would open to the public next Monday, a date he said was set in stone. One of Maitland’s partners, Dan Ward, explained the weeklong delay was necessary because some of the “small little things” such as glasses and pots and pans “that are key to running a restau rant” just hadn’t arrived by Aug. 31. A shortage of floor tiles also contrib uted to the delay, said Maitland. There FRANKLY SPEAKING DTH/KELLY BROWN Kristin Britton, Tep Kearns and Jill Garris enjoy a quiet moment near the rear of Murphey Hall. The secluded areas of campus provide excellent places to relax and catch-up on everyday events. Stye Daily ear Heel was still about four feet to be tiled on the planned opening day, he explained. Neither Ward nor Maitland said they felt the delay would have any real impact on the public’s perception of Top of the Hill. Still, Maitland said, “(The delay) cost us. We couldhave had a lot of sales in the short-term, but this project is not about making a short-term profit.” One reason the delay will have little impact on the restaurant’s perception, explained Maitland, is that its advertis ing is done largely through its Founders’ Club. The club is a group ofsoo commu nity members who donated between $ 100 and SI,OOO each toward the restaurant. Bar Manager Lewis Smith said he felt thebenefitsofthe extra week outweighed any losses. “If we’re going to be the best place in town we might as well open up right.”
