‘Unarrest’
marked first
use of policy
■ The new policy was a
result of alleged racism by
the police in February.
BY JOHN GARDNER
STAFF WRITER
When Carrboro police arrested and
then released UNC senior Troy
Hendrick on Saturday, he became the
first person to ever be “unarrested” by
the Carrboro Police Department
The new policy is known as the Field
Unarrest Policy and has been brought
about in order to give officers a consis
tent course of action to take in the event
a wrongful arrest is made, Carrboro
Police Capt. John Butler said.
The policy, which states, “arrestees
must be released when there is no longer
factual justification for their continued
detention,” went into effect Friday.
Carrboro police officer J.D. Langford
issued the charges after Hendrick,
standing on his lawn, refused to stop
taking pictures of a fire scene across the
street. After being taken down to the
station, Hendrick was unarrested.
Chuck Stone, Walter Spearman pro
fessor of journalism and mass commu
nication, said the policy wasn’t enough.
“They can have a policy of unarresting
someone, but that does not guarantee to
relieve the emotional trauma involved
with being arrested."
Before the new policy, there was not
a standard procedure to deal with situ
ations where someone was falsely
accused of a crime, Butler said.
Carrboro Police Capt. Carolyn
Hutchinson, the department’s spokes
woman, said the new policy was effect
ed as a result of a February incident
where five males were detained when a
Highland Hills resident called police
under the suspicion the men were steal
ing a car.
They were released when no car was
found to have been broken into.
“Following the investigation of that
incident, we wanted to have a policy on
file to deal with any similar situations
that may arise in the future.”

J.Crew brings fashion frenzy to UNC
BY KAITLIN GURNEY
STAFF WRITER
As you flip through the pages of
January’s J. Crew clothing catalog, some
of the faces might look familiar.
J. Crew representatives were on cam
pus Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, tak
ing pictures of selected UNC and Duke
University students for their January
and February catalogs, both special col
lege editions.
Approximately 12 UNC students
were chosen to model. More than 1,000
students had pictures taken at the open
casting call in the Union Gallery on
Sept. 23.
Students will be paid $250 in J.Crew
catalog gift certificates for each day
spent modeling.
“It was so much fun they didn’t need
to pay us a dime,” said Patrick Brown,
a junior from Nashville.
Senior Dave Moricca of Cherry Hill,
N.J., said he stopped by the Union on
Sept. 23 as a break between exams,

Larry Eldridge has withdrawn his
candidacy for the Chapel Hill Town
Council.
“I had a lot of things come up per

he said.

Some candidates are trying to avoid
spending too much money by finding
creative campaigning strategies.
Elizabeth Boisson, a candidate for
the Carrboro Board of Aldermen, has
avoided excessive campaign spending
with her simple philosophy.
“I don’t believe in fund raising,”
Boisson said. “I was planning on spend
ing as little as possible.
If you want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.

mation director Steve Kirschner refused
to comment. Assistant coach Dave
Hanners also declined comment.
“I made a promise I wouldn’t say
anything until after the press confer
ence,” Hanners said. “Someone’s been
real good to me.”
But Art Chansky, a writer who has
known Smith for more than two
decades, said Smith’s imminent retire
ment was the reason for the conference.
“I hope the speculation is wrong,”
Chansky said Wednesday night.
“Frankly, it can’t be anything else but
while Brown said he was dragged to the
initial photo shoot with his fraternity
brothers. “My grandma told me I was
cute in my ninth-grade yearbook photo,
but that’s about the extent of it,” he said.
A few of the students, however, had
previous modeling experience.
Yolanda Makle, a sophomore from
Brandywine, Md., has modeled with the
UNC modeling troupe, cONcEpt of col
ors. “Since this is a national magazine,
I’m hoping a movie director in
Hollywood will be flipping through the
catalog and decide I’m the one he needs
for his new project,” she said.
Sophomore Kate Lewis, of
Kernersville said she was called by a J.
Crew representative last Tuesday and
asked to come to Memorial Hall
Saturday night.
Then thel2 UNC students and three
Duke students chosen showed up at
Memorial Hall, J. Crew’s on-campus
headquarters, for the first day of shoot

“It was so hectic,” said Brown. “No
“I’ye gone door-to-door, and I’ve dis
tributed lots of brochures,” she said.
“I’ve walked around neighborhoods and
spoken with people.”
Many other candidates in Carrboro
and Chapel Hill share this stance on the
issue of fund raising. Carrboro mayori
al candidate Judy Anderson is one.
“We’ve done no formal fund raising,”
she said.
“We’re waiting for funds to come
from people who know ... and support
the campaign.”
One way Anderson has sought to get
her name and views out is with her
“Coffee with the Candidate," which is
today at 7 p.m. at 302 Weaver St.
J. Franklin Bowden, candidate for
Chapel Hill Town Council, said high
campaign expenses would ultimately
hurt his campaign.
"My help is going to be with low
income people,” he said. “I want every
body to vote the low-income people,
too. I don’t want to give the impression
that I’m spending SB,OOO to $9,000 on
that. What else could it be?”
The Basketball Times, a weekly pub
lication in Rochester, Mich., reported
Wednesday that Smith would resign
over a conflict with Chancellor Michael
Hooker regarding the hiring of anew
athletic director. Dick Baddour was
hired by the University to succeed John
Swofford, who became ACC
Commissioner in July.
“How the heck would they know
that?” Chansky said. “Anybody that
reports that is just irresponsible. Dean
Smith supported the hiring of Dick
one knew what was going on. I changed
clothes 20 times in 10 minutes.”
Brown was one of several student
models to receive anew haircut by the
hair stylist James from Scotland.
“I wish he had given me one,” Lewis
said. “He said his haircuts would cost
$l5O if he had a salon in New York.”
Lewis said makeup was applied by
Katrina, a makeup artist just back from
a project in Africa. “It looked real nat
ural for as much as it felt like she put
on,” she said.
The clothes worn were both for win
ter and spring, depending on whether
the pictures were to be used in the Jan.
10 or Feb. 15 catalog.
Students were not allowed to keep the
clothes, although J. Crew baseball caps
were distributed.
Brown said a lot of the clothes he
would never wear in real life, such as his
outfit with a gray shirt, black sweater
and brown coat.

Proposed new school
stirs officials’ debate
BY ION OSTENDORFF
STAFF WRITER
Although building anew high school
in Orange County would solve current
overcrowding problems, in the eyes of
one school official, it might not be the
cheapest solution.
The Orange County School Board
heard a proposal Monday night for the
construction of anew high school for
the system which Larry Haverland,
school board chairman, said he was
opposed to.
“The problem at Orange High
(School) is that it is overcrowded,” he
said. “My position all along has been to
use Stanford Middle School, which was
designed for eighth and ninth grades, for
a ninth-grade center.”
Haverland proposed building anew
middle school for students who now
attend Stanford, which he said would
save taxpayers millions of dollars.
“Middle schools are cheaper to build
because they don’t need a football sta
dium and big gymnasiums,” he said.
“This will immediately relieve the
overcrowding at Orange County High,”
he said. “And you get anew middle
school that will save the taxpayers mil
lions when compared to building anew
high school.”
According to Orange County School
Board documents, the proposed 1,000-
student high school will cost $25 million
and will not include an auxiliary gym or
athletic stadium. The money for the
project will come from state bonds and
a grant allocated by the Orange County
Board of Commissioners.
At Monday night’s school board
meeting, Haverland told school board
members that $25 million might not be
enough to build an adequate facility. He
used East Chapel Hill High School in
the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools
as an example.
“Why does their high school cost
over $35 million and ours is only $25
million, and possibly a partial school?"
he asked. “How come Chapel Hill isn’t
Chapel Hill Town Council candidate
William Gilbert Lindsay said he spent

quest for voter recognition easier.

tion that Smith would retire.
For years, Smith’s policy has been to
decide prior to the start of each season’s
practice whether to continue coaching.
UNC begins practice Oct. 18.
Bill Guthridge, Smith’s assistant for
the past 30 years, likely will succeed
Smith for this season.
“(Smith probably said), ‘l’m gonna
give Bill Guthridge time to prepare for
practice,”’ Chansky said. “He’s only
doing what he’s said he’d do for years.
"... He can’t coach forever. We all
wish he could, but he can’t.”
