Julian discusses life
in the fashion world
BYWHITNEY COCHRANE
STAFF WRITER
Fashion designer Alexander Julian
came to UNC on Monday night to
enlighten his listeners about the fashion
world.
After growing up on Franklin Street
and attending UNC, Julian moved to
New York City to begin his fashion
career. He attributed his designing talent
to growing up in his parent’s clothing
store, “Julian’s.”
“I was brought up literally with books
of fabrics as building blocks,” Julian
said.
Julian said he learned to picture in his
mind what he wanted to design.
“Thanks to the UNC English depart
ment, I can describe what I see,” he
said.
Asa designer, Julian is known for his
colorful and energetic style.
“The idea of mixing traditional and
modem together has always been fasci
nating to me,” Julian said about his
designing style.
Julian said he felt many people were
missing out on wearing his clothes due
to their high prices, so he started a less
expensive fashion line called “Colours.”
“It bothered me that 90 percent of the

people I met who had the right look for
my line either couldn’t afford it or
wouldn’t allocate that much money for
clothes,” he said.
Julian said he wants people to find a
their own unique style in his clothes.
“I don’t have one look,” he said. “I
want you to walk in and find something
that says ‘me’ on it.”
Julian designed the Charlotte
Hornets’ basketball jerseys as well as the
UNC Tar Heels’ basketball jerseys.
“To be able to be the first in my field
to design sports uniforms was a great
kick,” he said.
Former UNC basketball player
Michael Jordan gave Julian input on the
new UNC jersey, Julian said.
“The moment the players found out
that Michael had approved it, they loved
it,” Julian said.
Not only is Alexander Julian an
expert in the clothing department, but
the furniture world as well. He said he
used his clothing designs in his furni
ture.
“I’m the only designer who can give
you matching neckties, wallpaper and
chairs,” he said.
Julian said he tried to listen and
respond to what his buyers want.
“You can’t dictate style or taste.”
Discussion focuses on different roles of women
■ Participants said women of
different backgrounds should be
open to sharing experiences.

Liberal, athletic, black, white, sisters, inse
cure, young, feminist, poor and active were
some of the adjectives used to describe women
in a women’s issues discussion presented by the
Women’s Issues Network last night.
The event, which was part of Race Relations
Week, discussed how issues such as oppression,
identity, roles in the family, feminism, insecu
rity and sexuality related to women.
“I think it went really well. It’s not often that
you get a 30-person turnout for an event like
this,” said Marion Traub-Wemer, WIN co
chairwoman.
“It wasn’t all the same people, either; there

were lots of new faces.”
The diverse crowd of participants discussed
and discovered many subjects throughout the
program, such as the effect of societal expecta
tions on women, as well as stereotypes faced by
women.
“Women want to be seen as a person before
an identity ... we want you to understand the
realities, not the stereotypes,” a participant said.
Others participants agreed.
“I thought it was a valuable experience. I was
amazed at how many miscommunications and

Mandy Greene, a freshman from Raleigh,
said she learned a lot about black women’s per

McDade
discussion
continues
■ Residents said they
wanted the McDade House
to face Franklin Street.
BY JULIA WOOD
STAFF WRITER
At a public hearing Monday, Chapel
Hill residents spoke overwhelmingly in
support of placing the McDade House
centrally on the Franklin Street side of
Parking Lot #5.
The McDade House currently stands
on University Baptist Church property,
but must be moved to avoid demolition
to make way for expansion by the
church. The council decided in January
to move the house to Parking Lot #5,
which is located at the comer of
Franklin, Church and Rosemary streets.
Both Town Manager Cal Horton and
the planning board recommended plac
ing the house in the center of the lot fee
ing Franklin Street. The transportation
board recommended denial of the
Special Use Permit because they said
they believed the house should be locat
ed at the comer of Church and Franklin
streets.
Mary Reeb, chairwoman of the plan
ning board, said the board discussed
many concerns regarding placement,
but finally voted for approval of the
application. “There is a great deal of
sentiment for the house being located in
the center of Franklin Street,” she said.
“We are concerned about how it might
look when surrounded by two and three
story buildings.”
Many residents said they thought the
benefits outweighed any drawbacks the
site might hold.
Betsy Pringle of the Historic District
Commission said the commission
strongly endorsed the location because
of the prominence it would give the
house, the catalytic effect it would have
on compatible development and the
draw it would be for pedestrian traffic to
the west end of Franklin Street.
“(The McDade House) gives us a
sense of place, sets us apart and makes
good business sense,” she said.
Pauline Grimson, head preservation
ist for the Chapel Hill Preservation
Society, said she thought the house
would be an asset to future development
on Parking Lot #5. “I can’t believe that
placement in the cenfer of Franklin
Street would hurt or hinder future devel
opment,” she said. “It would provide a
great opportunity to link the past and
the future.”
But Stan Lisle of Cousins Properties,
which has expressed an interest in
developing the property, said he was
quite certain placement of the house in
die middle of the block would be
viewed as a design problem.
“I would urge-you to consider place
ment on the lot to maximize ability to
develop the rest of the lot," he said.
The council referred residents’ com
ments to the town manager and attor
ney.
For the Record
The April 7 story 'Several parking
changes to be made" should have stated
that the Health Affairs Parking Deck II will
be built on surface lots next to the current
HAPD.
Spaces that are temporarily lost on the
surface lots during construction will be
replaced within the new parking deck.
Also, 'Open-meetings law could face
changes' (April 7) should have stated that
the open meetings memo came in
response to the threat of a lawsuit for
access to University committee meetings.
The Daily Tar Heel regrets the errors.
