Campus crime on
decline, study says
BYARUNIMAPANDE
STAFF WRITER
Despite a sharp drop in the reported number of several major
crimes, aggravated assaults on campus continue to rise, accord
ing to the recently released security report for 1995.
Eighty-nine aggravated assaults were reported last year, up
from 41 in 1994 and 33 in 1993, the report states. At the same
time, the University experienced decreases in reported forcible
sex offenses, robberies and burglaries.
University Police Chief Donald Gold said it was hard to
pinpoint exactly what caused the decline in those three crimes.
“Statistics do nottell the story alone,” Goldsaid. “The main
factor has been the involvement of the police department with
the community.”
Some other factors include new C-TOPS presentations and
the police department’s greater involvement in residence halls,

initiative in being more cautious.
“Personal responsibility has been a big factor in the de

a role.”

Local late-night establishments satisfy
prowling night owls’ needs, cravings

We’ve all been there. It’s 3 a.m. and after a full
night of partying (or studying if you’re talking to
Mom and Dad) a serious case of the munchies sets
in.
In and around Chapel Hill are quite a few places
where students can go to grab a quick bite to eat or
to type that research paper in the wee hours of the
morning. In recent years the popularity of late-night
and 24-hour stores and restaurants has increased
dramatically.
Nowadays, anything from Harris Teeter to Wal-
Mart opens its doors at all hours. And they do a good
deal of business.
One such late-night spot is the Waffle House
located on Interstate 85.
“Students can be found in here at all times at
night," said Susan Gooch, the third-shift manager.
“We do most of our business between 9 p.m. to 3
a.m. And we get all kinds church groups, stu

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools are

Businesses
endure high
rent rates
■ If location is everything,
Franklin Street business
owners are willing to pay.
BY KATE HARRISON
STAFF WRIiER
The days of mom and pop owned
family stores have long disappeared from
Chapel Hill’s Franklin Street. These days,
national chains like Bath & Body Works,
Taco Bell and The Gap adorn the famous
way.
As big names move into Franklin Street
business space, rent rates climb. How
ever, small businesses are continuing to
find that while rent is high, the benefits of
the exposure of Chapel Hill’s main drag
far outweigh the expense.
John Williams, a clerk at Monster
Records, said their rent was not cheap,
but the foot traffic they got made up for
the price.
“Obviously, we all wish rent was
cheaper,” he said. “But being a music
store, our main customers are college
aged students, and here we have hun
dreds of college students walking by our
front door every day. A mall couldn’t
give us that."
Dorrit Geshuri, co-manager of Inter
nationalist Books, said their rent was
SBOO a month for 775 square feet, which
she said she considered a pretty good
price for the west end of Franklin Street.
The store moved into its 405 W.
Franklin St. location Jan. 2 from a previ
ous spot on Rosemary Street, which cost
S3OO a month.
“Our store was much larger and
cheaper when it was on Rosemary Street, ”
Geshuri said, “but there was no foot
traffic. So far, I think our better location
has made up for the difference in rent.”
Amy O’Donnell, assistant manager at
The Original Ornament, said although
she was concerned that rent rates could

ence programs and grading essays. The
other branch consists of requests for vol
unteers from teachers throughout the
school system.
Most of the student volunteers are
from areas other than education and sim
ply volunteer for the experience, not to
fulfill a class requirement, Bailey said.
“We get students from all disciplines,”
she said. “For the education majors, this
program might help them to decide what
branch of education they want to go into.
Since the program began in 1992, it
has almost doubled its number of partici
pants each year, Bailey said. Students
volunteer at almost every school in the

dents with books before exams and occasionally just
some college kids up to no good.”
Most of the employees said they generally liked
the customers who wandered in, and the customers
said they felt comfortable because of the friendly
scene.
Bill Bulbrook, a late-night cook at Hector’s on the
comer of Franklin and Henderson streets, said he
basically felt the same way about the customers.
But Bulbrook said he had seen some wild things
happen after midnight.
“We’ve seen it all,” Bulbrook said. “One guy
jumped out of the (second story) window and an
other guy spent a whole night sweet-talking a nap
kin holder and later passed out in his nacho fries.
There was even someone who ripped the sink out of
the bathroom wall."
Although there have been a few problems,
Bulbrook said he didn’t mind working the late shift.
“We get paid more for working late and it’s OK as
