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

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.

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.

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

“It will be better because we don’t

to rain and flooding,” Gardner said.
Students used a temporary entrance

But the changes are not just physical;
students can expect to see programming
changes at the SRC as well.

at new times this fall, including a Step

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

refer the incident to the student attorney

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

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.”
