After Shetley was sworn in, Alderman Alex Zaffron gave her his chair, since he said it was reserved for the newest alderman. “Coming back to the Board of Aldermen is somewhat like coming home,” Shetley said. She said the board showed a great deal of trust in her by selecting her to fill Bryan’s seat. “I shall do my best to deserve the trust you have given me,” she said. Shetley served as an alderman from The facility upgrade, set to include new fiber optic wiring, central air condi tioning and a television studio, will not come cheap. Funds allotted by the state, expected to total $5.2 million, will help pay for asbestos removal, paint and new carpet, but Cole said private donations were vital for equipping the building. “We’re very grateful for the state money, but it’s not enough,” Cole said. In order to attract outside revenue for the project, names of rooms and facili ties in Carroll Hall are on the auction block. Thus far, $2.6 million of the $4 million private funding goal has been raised in exchange for permanent names affixed to the school’s future library and other select rooms. The ongoing soliciting of funds from individuals and organizations falls squarely on the dean’s shoulders. “It’s been my responsibility,” Cole inventive look at Shakespeare, said Pam O’Connor, marketing and press director for Play Makers. “People tend to like Shakespeare at the beginning (of the season),” O’Connor said. “Skylight,” anew British play that received three Tony Award nomina tions, follows the Shakespeare comedy.

The Council approved another six year accreditation for the School, declar ing it “arguably the best all-around pro gram in the country.” The “bricks” Cole inherits from the Kenan-Flagler School of Business, bound for its new home in August, triple the current space that Howell Hall pro vides. The scope of transforming Carroll into a cutting-edge center for media edu cation, however, might delay the intend ed spring 1999 startup for the new-look journalism school. Facilities, Planning and Design that brought over 10,000 people in its 27 performances last season, is third for the 1997-1998 schedule.

Bryan said he wanted to thank four groups of people: his family, the town staff, the boards he has served on and the people of Carrboro. “Thank you all; it is I who am in your debt,” he said. Alderman Hilliard Caldwell said Bryan’s leaving the board was a sad moment for him. “Thank you for being there to give me the comfort, the guidance and the love,” Show EWE us Although the Journalism School has received dose to $7.8 mPlion in donations, more is needed for its move horn Howell to Carroll Hall. ll ' 8 r | gaaa Money received Jj| == g j| k 1! co 4 - BHM v- ‘ |||| c j|| Private donations Public donations Director Gordon Rutherford said he lion renovation here,” Rutherford said, was unsure about the intended move indicating current UNC contracts had dates. “You’re talking about a $6.5 mil- sapped local construction labor pools. at Play Makers as the fourth production for the season; Play Makers is the first theater in the southeast to produce the play.

BY MICHAEL KANAREK SENIOR WRITER The Carrboro Board of Aldermen revisited the drainage problems suffered by residents of the Cobblestone subdi vision at their Tuesday night meeting. Cobblestone residents complained that water runoff from the Wexford and Williams Woods development is flood ing their yards. “When I look up at the sky and it rains, I start cursing the rain,” Cobblestone resi dent Chris Tobin said. In his report to the board, Town Engineer Henry Wells suggested several different solutions to the drainage prob lems, including drainage ditches and piping, but he recommended the use of a drainage ditch, which the Alderman JACQUELYNEGIST suggested the two sides work together to find the best solution to the flooding problem. developer agreed to construct. But the residents didn’t like the option of using a ditch because it would render a portion of their backyard use less for anything other than planting grass. Tobin said, “I think the open ditch will ruin my back yard and will create a child trap.” But Wells said any kind of piping could be clogged by debris, while a ditch’s carrying capacity isn’t affected by debris. Cobblestone residents said discus sions at a March 1996 meeting about drainage solutions had almost strictly revolved around using piping. But Town Attorney Mike Brough said the developers and residents had only reached a “likely agreement,” and any talks they had were not binding. Cobblestone residents wanted to know if the developer would be willing to apply the same amount that the ditrh would have cost to the more expensive piping option. Alderman Jacquelyn Gist asked that town staff speak with the developer while neighborhood residents discussed their willingness to pay for the rest of the project. Gist said, “We’re just testing the waters, so to speak.” $5 OFF Good on any tanning package of 10 or more visits with this coupon.
