this charming eatery.
Through the doors in this nonde
script building, you enter the colorful
dining area. The warm surroundings,
painted in bold primary shades, are as
colorful as the food itself.
The restaurant is small and cozy,
filled with tables topped in bright floral
designs. If the weather continues to
cooperate, the outside patio will
undoubtedly fill up before the indoor
dining room.
Choosing from the handwritten
menu hanging from the ceiling, diners
order in a line, while the staff prepares
burritos and quesadillas in plain view.
The food is brought to your table,
and the limited number of hungry
patrons that can fit in the place gives
staff the admirable ability to remember
who ordered what.
Mexican food can best be judged by
corporate libraries. The school plans to
introduce more Web-based education
programs and an undergraduate major
program by the year 2001.
“I think it’s a very exciting time at the
moment,” Marshall said. “I really see us
maintaining that excellence, but I also
see a broadening of the curriculum.”

a few things - the salsa, the tortilla and
the margarita. At Carrburritos, they
size up this way - the good, the big
and the ugly.
The Salsa Fresca (your basic red) is
extremely flavorful, not too hot and
only one of the many that Carrburritos
has to offer. Although only fresca and
verde (the green one) were available to
diners, several others are packaged to
go for only $3.95.
For the lover of mexican food, an
oversized flour tortilla is like a security
blanket - warm, soft and comforting.
Filling one, although adulterating the
purity of your good blanket, is a neces
sity at Carrburritos.
The burrito menu goes from the
Plain to Regular to Mejor, each one
getting fatter with more fixings folded
in. You select which filling to use. The
choices range from chorizo, a spicy

The marinated grilled chicken
breast had great flavor, almost shadow
ing the beans and salsa with its taste.
And watching the staff slice up a fresh
chicken breast to throw in your burrito
is a welcome change from precooked
cubes that plague other buffets.
Choosing black beans or pinto
beans is a tough decision. Both are
excellent as the meaty, glue-like tex

the committee had unanimously sup
ported the 3,200 new students, but the
full board would not have a chance to
approve the numbers until next month.
“Since it met no opposition in the
committee, I don’t foresee any problems
with the board,” she said. “We are trying
to encourage growth on campuses that
have excess capacity. UNC does not fall
into that category.”

Carrburritos offers tacos, quesadillas
and tostadas in addition to their name
sake, the hefty burrito, and they cater
to an eclectic crowd.
The staff seemed a bit put off by
customers who weren’t regulars and
didn’t know the rules of the game (i.e.
you pick up your drink on the way in -
they are all different prices, so you
should know what you want.) And
although each meal comes with chips,
the salsa was not free flowing, which
necessitates a trip back inside to
request it.
Once it’s all on the plate, however,
the meal is very satisfying. And with
prices that range from $3.25 to $6.95,
it doesn’t take many pesos to go home
happy.

Pulley said UNC wanted growth in
graduate student enrollment, but the
estimates made by the BOG committee
members showed the majority of
growth to be in undergraduate enroll
ment. “We tried to keep the ratio of
graduate to undergraduate students con
sistent at UNC since they want it that
way,” she said. “If the graduate student
enrollment is higher in 10 years, then
we will revisit the issue.”
Pulley said enrollment quotes were
never exact. “Every year we have to
revisit it and modify what planning is
being done.”

something to fix the situation. That
intersection is very crazy.”
But Tom Gould, division traffic engi
neer for the N.C. Department of
Transportation, said he was not so sure
that the intersection was - or would be
- problematic for pedestrians, mainly
because there was not any evidence that
pedestrians walked across that intersec
tion in high volume.
“Is two adults that try to cross a busy
highway a problem?” Gould said. “That
was a bad judgement on their part.
“We certainly had no prior knowl
edge that pedestrians were trying to
walk across that intersection, and there
is nothing to indicate that there is a lot
of pedestrian activity.”
Gould said Durham and Chapel Hill
transportation officials would follow up
the accident to find out if pedestrian
activity was increasing enough for the
NCDOT to get solid daily numbers of
the amount of pedestrians who walk
across the intersection.
If research shows that more people
are travelling the highway on foot,
Gould said officials would implement
warning signs for drivers, making them
aware of increased pedestrian activity.
Other possible improvements would be
the implementation of crosswalks, side
walks and a modified street sign, Gould
said.
“There’s always a balancing act deal
ing with pedestrians and vehicles,"
Ahrendsen said. “You have to provide a
smooth flow of cars, and at the same
time ensure die safety of pedestrians.
It’s very difficult to do that."
