Chadwick leads with discipline, modesty
■ The senior battalion
commander trains NROTC
members for the mihtary.
BY SOPHIE MILAM
STAFF WRITER
Even though Joshua Chadwick
makes his friends do multiple sets of
pull-ups and sit-ups at 6 a.m., they still
respect and admire him.
Chadwick, of Glenelg, Md., the bat
talion commander for the Navy ROTC
unit at the University, is responsible for
the 70 midshipmen that make up the
division. These men and women will go
on to serve in the Navy and Marine
Corps after they complete college.
Rye Barcott, a freshman from
Greenwich, R. 1., nominated Chadwick
for Senior of the Week despite his gru

■ The program helps ease
the strain of moving from

Life after graduation is getting easier
for Orange County high school students
with disabilities.
As part of a joint effort between var
ious schools and the community, these
students receive help in preparing them
selves for the future.
In the first formal presentation made
to the Orange County School Board on
Monday night, the Orange County
Transition Collaboration described the
goals and efforts of their program.
Wendy Trueblood, who made the
presentation for the program, described
the transition collaboration as a group of
seven agencies, including Orange
County schools, Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools, parents and TEACCH, a
program that helps autistic adults enter
the work force.
“The reason we got together is
because we believe that not only are
transition services important, the com
munity needs them,” Trueblood said.

“Chadwick humbly devotes large por
tions of his days trying to improve and
manage the NROTC activities and mid
shipmen,” Barcott said.
"What makes Mr. Chadwick such a
unique leader is not only that he leads by
example, but he leads modestly.”
Barcott said that Chadwick often
made disciplinary decisions that had the
potential to really affect someone’s life.
Michael Lepore, a senior in the Navy
ROTC from Orland Park, 111., said he
had been one of Chadwick’s best friends
since freshman year. Lepore said
Chadwick was an ordinary guy but he
worked hard to do well in the ROTC.
“He was just a skinny little kid when
I first met him as a freshman, but he set
a good example for me as his friend.”
Chadwick, a history major, said the
most difficult part of his position was
leading his friends and peers.
“It is the schools mission to
prepare students for life. We
help support the community
program to make it as
successful as it can be. ”
WENDY TRUEBLOOD
Orange County transition team member
The goal of the program is to have a
high school student employed or pre
pared to continue with higher education
by graduation.
“It is the school’s mission to prepare
students for life,” Trueblood said. “We
help support the community program to
make it as successful as it can be.”
Donna Wyland, a parent of a dis
abled student, said the program was
very important.
“The transition is a hard time, espe
cially for us parents of children who
have special needs,” Wyland said.
“If we have collaboration efforts, we
will know what is available, such as
Medicaid and Medicare, when the stu
dents get out of the school system,”
Wyland said. “Without that informa
tion, (students) may fall through the
cracks.”

“It’s not just a normal campus orga
nization because you have to sort of
abide by a military chain of command,”
Chadwick said. “I am a regular college
student, but I spend at least part of my
time in a military environment.”
But Lepore said Chadwick had done
a good job. “We’ve been friends for four
years, and now he’s in charge of us. He
doesn’t step on our toes, but we respect
him enough that he gets the job done.”
The senior officers in the unit nomi
nate candidates for battalion comman
der. Each candidate makes a presenta
tion to officers from the Navy and the
Marines. Chadwick said the committee
grilled candidates and made the decision
based on physical fitness, academic
achievement and leadership qualities.
One of Chadwick’s duties is to sched
ule a weekly naval science lab. Speakers
come in from the University, and the
midshipmen do leadership exercises.
Greens endorses three for council
BY ANGELA LEA
STAFF WRITER
The Orange County Greens is urging
Chapel Hill residents to vote Brown,
Jefferson and Foy in the upcoming
Town Council elections.
The Greens is endorsing these three
candidates because their stances on envi
ronmental and social justice issues are
most in line with those of the Greens
itself, Greens
member Dirk
Spruyt said.
“The people
we’ve chosen are
people who are
interested in how
we can move into
ELECTIONS
'97-
the future in a more sustainable way,” he
said. “They’re interested in energy con
servation, waste reduction and social
issues like affordable housing and the
living wage.”
Joyce Brown, who has served two
terms on the council and is an active
member of the Greens, said she was
glad of the endorsement. “I’m real
pleased, of course,” she said. “I’m close
to the Greens, and I’m glad they recog
nize the work I’m doing.”
Brown also said she hoped the

Each summer there is a program,
usually for about four weeks on a ship,
for the ROTC students. One summer
Chadwick went to Romania, the
Ukraine and Greece on a naval vessel.
Last summer he went to officer can
didate school, a six-week program sim
ilar to boot camp that each ROTC stu
dent must complete before his senior
year. The school offers leadership train
ing in addition to physical work.
But Chadwick doesn’t feel like he has
missed out on the normal college expe
rience. He is in a fraternity and has
friends from all parts of campus.
Chadwick said he was choosing
between the University of Virginia and
Duke University, but visited UNC and
decided on the spot to attend.
After graduation Chadwick will serve
in the Marine Corps for four years. He is
undecided about what he will do after
the Marines, but Chadwick said he
“The people we've chosen are
people who are interested in
how we can move into the
future in a more suitable

Greens’ endorsement would have a pos
itive impact on the elections. “I hope
that there will be a recognition of the
importance we place on social, eco
nomic and environmental issues from
this particular perspective," she said.
Candidate Madeline Jefferson said
she was also pleased with the endorse
ment. “I appreciate their endorsement
because they recognize my commitment
to the environment,” she said.
“I’ve been concerned with flooding,
especially on the eastern side of Chapel
Hill,” she said. “In order to have a more
sustainable community, we’re going to
have to be more stewards of the envi
ronment.”
Jefferson said she supported econom
ic reforms such as changing the impact
fee to an impact tax.

Instead of having all home-owners
pay the same set fee, the impact tax
would charge them proportionally and
would not overburden more modest
home-owners, she said.
“It’s really an issue of affordable
housing,” Jefferson said.
Kevin Foy said he also appreciated
the Greens’ endorsement. “(The
Greens) have been a strong voice for the
environment and how best to guide the
growth of this community,” Foy said.
Foy is co-chair of the Shaping
Orange County’s Future project, which
Spruyt said was “very much focused on
how can we be more sustainable in the
future.”
Foy’s support of the living wage,
which seeks to ensure people whom the
town contracts with are paid wages ade
quate for their cost of living, was well
received by the Greens, Spruyt said.
Overall, the Greens’ endorsement is
an attempt to reveal which candidates
the group thinks pay more than lip ser
vice to issues the Greens deems impor
tant, Spruyt said. “It’s very confusing
when you have candidates who claim to
champion progressive issues but whose
records are quite unsupportive of that,”
he said. “What people do is more
important than what they say.”

Students help
build homes
with Habitat
■ They put Sheetrock on
one Charleston, S.C., home
and framed another house.
BY CATHERINE MEDEOT
STAFF WRITER
While most UNC students relaxed at
home during Fall Break, 12 students
spent their time in Charleston, S.C.,
building walls and hanging Sheetrock.
The students are members of Habitat
for Humanity, an organization designed
to bring people together to build homes
for the less fortunate.
“It’s a very satisfying way to spend
your time,” said Edith Dietz, a sopho
more from Baltimore, Md. “It’s an
inspiring cause.”
The students traveled to Charleston
last Wednesday and spent the weekend
putting up Sheetrock for one house and
framing another.
“All (the structure) was, was a foun
dation, and we put up the walls,” Dietz
said.
Professionals taught the students
about the basics of building so the hous
es would be constructed properly.
Emily Wurth, a sophomore from
Bethlehem, Pa., said it was a rewarding
experience.
“It put things in perspective,” Wurth
said. “It made me realize how much I
take for granted.”
Elizabeth Parrish, a sophomore from
Rocky Mount, said, “I was having fun
and helping others who were less fortu
nate.”
The students not only built houses,
but were invited into the homes of peo
ple who were helped by Habitat.
Wurth said she was touched by how
grateful the homeowners were.
“It was nice to see how our work
impacted other people’s lives,” Wurth
said. “The mother was so proud of her
house and so appreciative.”
Andi Lonon, a junior from Charlotte,
said, “I really got to experience Habitat
hard-core for three days. I got to see the
good work that Habitat does and how
much in need it is."
Students not only saw the good work
Habitat does, but also saw the results of
the sacrifice of their Fall Break.
“I just wanted to meet some new
people and volunteer,” Lonon said. “I
wanted to do something besides sit at
home with my family.”
Josh Cohen-Peyrot, a junior from
Asheville, said he gave up Ids Fall Break
to experience something new.
“I’ve never done a Habitat trip
before,” said Cohen-Peyrot. “I wanted
to get out and see some other stuff
instead of going home.”
Wurth said sacrificing her Fall Break
was worth the trip.
“I wanted to do something for other
people over Fall Break instead of for
myself,” she said. “When you work for
Habitat, the results of your work are
gratifying.”
Students said they also enjoyed the
experience because they met new peo
ple and were able to work as a team.
“We definitely got to work together
to help some people,” said Cohen-
Peyrot. “Together as a whole we repre
sented Carolina."
