Masala Sells Dates for Charity
By Katie Abel
Staff Writer
Students got a chance to bid for a
night on the town and contribute money
to UNC Children’s Hospital on
Thursday at Masala’s first date auction.
Members of various campus cultural
organizations, Student Body President
Reyna Walters and Student Body
President-elect Nic Heinke dressed in
cultural attire and danced to their
favorite tunes to win a free date with one
of the more than 50 audience members
who attended the event.
Two students pulled out their check
books and bid $35 for a date with
Heinke and S2O for one with Walters.
Masala, the organization that bridges
15 campus cultural groups, including the
Black Student Movement, the Carolina
Hispanic Association and the Asian
Students Association, raised $540 for
the hospital.
LOG Approves Recycling Center
By Kim Dronzek
Staff Writer
A two-hour long Landfill Owners
Group meeting Thursday night ended
with the unanimous approval of a waste
reduction project that could keep trash
out of the almost full Orange County
Regional Landfill.
The LOG approved the construction
of a materials recovery facility that will
package, process and sort materials for
reuse and resale in the local area.
The LOG is an advisory group of
Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough
and Orange County officials and resi
dents who help oversee the landfill’s
operation.
Financing the project and the benefits
that it would provide were also dis
cussed. James Frey, a technical consul

“The purpose was to raise money for
a worthwhile charity and at the same
time increase awareness of the many
multicultural assets on this campus,”
said Sarath Kolluru, newsletter editor for
Masala.
Area restaurants and cinemas donat
ed complimentary gift certificates for the
event so all proceeds could go directly
to the hospital.
Each student who participated in the
auction answered questions about their
cultural experiences at UNC.
Walters said her most memorable
experience occurred when she attended
the “Concert for Unity” as a sophomore.
“It was the first time I got to see peo
ple from many different cultures coming
together,” she said.
Janora McDuffie, a member of the
Black Student Movement and senior
class vice president, said cultural diver
sity at the University needed to be
improved. “If we make individual efforts
tant for the MRF project, said the finan
cial benefit of the MRF would show
after the first year of the facility’s oper
ation.
Frey said that although the MRF
would have a higher processing it would
the county $453,618.71.
The LOG did not set a date for get
ting county approval on its recommen
dation, and some members said they
were becoming impatient with how long
it was taking to make a decision.
Carrboro Alderman Jacquelyn Gist
said she was ready to make a decision
soon. “What are we all doing here?” she
asked LOG. “I’m ready to start making
decisions, and I’m starting to become
impatient. Is there a time line in all of
this?”
Hillsborough Mayor Horace Johnson
agreed with Gist. “From 1991 to 1999 is
University & City
to go outside our comfort zones and
explore different cultures, it will be a
good start to improving diversity.”
McDuffie received a bid of S3O from
a member of the audience.
Junior Nick Jones made several bids
during the night. “I came to help out
Masala and promote muliculturalism on
campus,” he said.
Tamara Johnson, co-producer of the
auction, said Masala had decided to use
the money raised from the auction to
support the same cause as last week
end’s UNC Dance Marathon, which
raised $40,000 for the hospital.
Tracy Engel, the morale chairwoman
for the UNC Dance Marathon, said rais
ing money for the hospital was a unique
opportunity for all students.
“We really wanted to see firsthand
what we were raising money for.”

a long time to sit around and talk trash,”
he said. “We have good options and rec
ommendations, and these will
inevitably be taken over by the county.”
The goals of the MRF project are to
reduce waste reduction before the land
fill from reaches its capacity in 2005.
LOG Chairwoman Joyce Brown said
Thursday’s meeting was necessary to
reach decisions about the project. “We
(the LOG) are part of the decision- mak
ing, the main question being do we
want an MRF, the following question
being the size of the MRF and the final
question of how the county will respond
to our decision,” she said.
The next step in the MRF decision
process will be another meeting March
9 to finish discussing the key issues of
the project
“The discussions heard here today
show that the group is preparing for
consideration, and from there the coun
ty will decide what to do,” Frey said.
