2 Wednesday, September 24, 1997 Faculty members showcase writing talents ■ “Faculty Unplugged” is a series of readings by faculty members of their books. BY SUMMER SAADAH STAFF WRITER Among the calendars and books at the Bull’s Head Bookshop, there is a small area behind the cash registers where faculty members showcase their writing talents. “Faculty Unplugged” Bull’s Head’s answer to the push for an increased intellectual climate is a series of readings by faculty members of their books, employee Ryn Nasser said. “We like to try and find things that would appeal to a lot of people on a gen Town might buy $25,000 van for resident travel ■ If the van’s purchase is approved, funds from other programs will not be cut. BY AMANDA BOCK STAFF WRITER With the bookmobile program hang ing in the balance, Chapel Hill public housing residents may get a transport van instead. The $25,000 van “will transport pub lic housing residents to different cultur al and educational activities around town,” said Loryn Barnes, a long-term planner with Chapel Hill’s Planning Department. The money to purchase the van will not have to be diverted from other pro jects or programs because the funds are 3 Questions to Ask in every interview... Where is my free Car?

Margaret Grayson, sales floor man ager at Bull’s Head, said, “We also want ed to have a sort of informal setting where students and faculty can share ideas.” We wanted to show that students don’t just care about Calvin and Hobbes, ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul,’ and ‘ 14,000 Things That Make You Happy.’ ” The first faculty member to read this year was Dr. Jane Stein, a consultant in research and evaluation and a lecturer in the Department of Maternal and Child Health. Stein read from her book, “Empowerment and Women’s Health: Theory, Methods, and Practice.” The forum not only allowed her to read from her book, but also to explain some important elements from her currently available for yet-to-be-deter mined purposes. “There is money in the Community Development funds that has not been allocated yet,” said Chris Bemdt, a member of the town’s planning depart ment. “No other programs will be cut if this proposal goes through,” Bemdt said. Though the purchase of a transport van does not necessarily kill the book mobile program, it may make the book mobile unnecessary. Only one resident spoke in favor of purchasing the van at the public hearing held during Monday night’s Chapel Hill Town Council meeting. “I like the idea,” said the Rev. J. Franklin Bowden. “Kids can be taken to the library to study after school,” he said. Bowden’s only complaint concerning UNIVERSITY & CITY “1 think its beneficial to students to have a place where they can interact with various professors on an informal level. ” AMY BUIBROOK Junior from Durham book, Stein said. “I was looking to bring together some concepts that aren’t usually brought together in scholarship and those included international develop ment and its effect on women,” Stein said. Stein also said the reading proved useful to her. the purchase of the van was the possi bility of eliminating the bookmobile program. “Kids want to be home and get the bookmobile instead of getting in the van and going to the library,” Bowden said Monday night. “Some kids will stay at home.” The Community Development pro gram receives its funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said Florentine Miller, an assistant town manager for the Town of Chapel Hill. Other projects that exist under the Community Development program include the revitalization of area neigh borhoods, the renovation of public housing, community services, the Inter- Faith Council employment project, affordable housing projects and other community improvement projects, September 24 from 2-6 pm at the Dean E. Smith Center “I was really pleased because I was looking for ways to publicize the book, but I didn’t know what to anticipate at the reading because I had never done one before,” Stein said. “It was fun. I had a lot of friends and even some family in the audience.” Grayson said she hoped the readings would prove helpful to students as well. “Mainly, we hope that there is a good discussion and that both sides the people who are speaking and the people who are listening learn from it,” Grayson said. Amy Bulbrook, a junior from Durham, said the readings served an important purpose. “I think it’s beneficial to students to have a place where they can interact with various professors on an informal level.” “There is money ... that has not been allocated yet. No other programs will be cut if this proposal goes through.” CHRIS BERNDT Planning Department member Bemdt said. If the van is purchased, the vehicle will be given to the HUD’s Resident Council. The Resident Council will be respon sible for the operation, maintainance and general upkeep of the vehicle, Miller said. The Chapel Hill Town Council will make its final recommendation regard ing the purchase of the van at its Oct. 13 meeting. BANKS FROM PAGE 1 available."

BY CARLA STRAYHORN STAFF WRITER After one year of waiting, senior cit izens in Chapel Hill will have anew place to call home next week. The Carolina House, a retirement community in Chapel Hill located at 100 Lanark Road, will open next week. Southern Assisted Living Inc., a com pany headquartered in Chapel Hill, started the facility with the help of financing from several companies. The project has been in the works since Oct. 1,1996. Next week is the opening of the facil ity to residents. The grand opening will take place in November when the rooms are full. “We have about 46 apartment units housing about 60 residents,” said Chris Hollister, chief executive officer of SALI. “Each apartment has one small kitchen, a private bath, a central dining room and much more,” he said. The monthly rental rate provides res idents with utilities, housekeeping, laun dry, three meals a day, activities, a com NIKE FROM PAGE 1 sion to protest. But he said their argu ments were naive misunderstandings of the Nike contract. “I think it’s always good when stu dents express their opinions,” Hooker said. “But I have not heard any good arguments.” Any company from which UNC bought uniforms would use the same factories as Nike, he said. Union and CCB offer student checking with no service charges, including no ATM or debit usage charge at bank machines. CCB also offers a S3OO check protec tion plan, which is linked to a student’s checking account.

Joel Harper, president of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, said Chapel Hill is a desirable place to retire. “Chapel Hill and Orange County continue to be a strong market for retirees and people needing assisted-liv ing facilities,” Harper said. “There is a growing market, the weather is nice, there is a world-class hospital and university in the area,” he said. Lee Pavao, a member of the Chapel Hill Town Council, said there was a need for this type of facility because of an increase in seniors moving to the area. “We probably will see more of these in the future,” Pavao said. “It takes care of people who really need assistance, and it gives residents more freedom in a home setting,” he said. Hollister said the approval process for the project was not difficult. “There is a perception that town gov ernment was difficult to work with,” he said. “It was an easy process. They were great to work with.” “It makes no sense to single out Nike,” Hooker said. “Instead of saying ‘Just Don’t Do It’, they should say, 'Athletic Teams. Just Don’t Wear Uniforms.’” Recent developments with Nike might hinder the students’ arguments toward Nike’s working conditions. According to the Associated Press, Nike severed ties Monday with four Indonesian companies because they refused to comply with Nike’s wage lev els and working conditions standards. vents students from overwriting their accounts and “bouncing” checks. Some bank employees said students should investigate all options and not feel obliged to only consider student accounts. “Students should look in on other offers provided by the banks that they may be more suited for,” said a service associate from Centura Bank who asked not to be identified. “Just because you are a student does not mean that you have to get a student account.” Banks are taking chances with spe cial student services because there is no guarantee that students will continue to bank with them. “We are taking a risk; there is always a chance that the students may move out of the state or county, and we will lose their business,” Kimball said. Area banks offer the same basic ser vices to students. It is up to each student to find the bank that fits his or her needs.
