6 Tuesday, February 29, 2000 HONOR COURT From Page 3 The Honor Court needs about $1,500 per year to cover expenses such as a telephone svstem, office supplies, writ ing pads, computer disks and mailings, said Martin VVarf, outgoing treasurer of the attorney general staff. But officials said the temporary strain on funding would not hamper the nor mal functions of the Court. “I can’t say with certainty why (the missed deadline) happened," Warf said. “I don’t think the student body treasur er did as much notification as in past years, so there were several student groups that were unaware of upcoming deadlines for filing. The Honor Court was one of those organizations." Kleinschmidt confirmed that other student organizations had missed the CAPTAINS From Page 3 about their promotions. “I am extremely fortunate to be pro moted amongst such an outstanding group of candidates,” Overton said. Johnson said he thought his work with the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program, crime prevention and community policing set him apart from the other candidates. “My work record speaks for itself,” he said. “I am confident that I have the ability to get the job done.” Johnson said he had already envi sioned the contributions he wanted to make to Chapel Hill in the future. “I hope for an excellent working rela tionship between the department and the community,” he said. “I want to leave behind something that people can grasp.” P“ “ “ mmm ™" "" “*“ ““| WITH COUPON jg&fv exp 3 3000 OPEN: Mon-Fri 10am-Bpki 4HM • Saturday... .9am-6pv jfc-, I ‘ Sunday ~l2pm-spm CAMPUS RECREATION UPDATE H Club of the Week: Carolina Kyokushin Karate f M M Carolina Kyokushin Karate is an on-campus sports club that f open to faculty, staff, others the University.

It’s not practical to make exceptions to deadlines.” Warf said that while the Honor Court was frustrated with a lack of concrete funding, members were willing to accept subsequent appropriations. “I think Student Congress handled the issue fairly,” Warf said. “It was just sort of a miscommunica tion between the student body treasurer and several organizations, one of which was the Honor Court.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. Overton said he also had aspirations to build a more stable community by addressing the homeless situation in a more proactive manner. “We have a drug abuse outreach to the homeless, but there are more than just drug problems on the streets,” he said. He said the program would offer work and other support services to the mentally ill. “This will help stabilize the community,” Overton said. The two new captains said they were looking forward to working together to solve problems in the community. They said the more racially diverse leadership in the department signaled progress. “No matter the color of a person’s skin, if they can do the job I think they deserve it,” Overton said. “Race doesn’t matter.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. New Facility to House United Church By Nishant Garg Staff Writer With a swelling congregation and major structural decline, the United Church of Chapel Hill has embarked on a $5 million project to build new' facili ties and plans to leave its location on Cameron Avenue. Richard Edens, the pastor for the church, said he hoped construction on the new 30,000-square-foot church, located at 1321 Airport Road, would be completed by Easter. “Everyone is excited about the move,” he said. “The existing buildings on Cameron have already been sold, and the permit (was) obtained in May.” Tony Armour, chairman of the church’s Building Committee, said var ious problems prompted the relocation. “The congregation got too big to fit in RABIES From Page 3 could occur during any time of year. Despite the small number of rabies incidents, Sauls said local residents should never let their guard down with rabies. “We are in a valley right now," he said. “I still expect people to exercise normal precautions, though.” Sauls said residents should obey leash laws, keep domestic pet food inside, secure garbage cans and keep homes closed and inaccessible to wild animals. Charles Ward, a veterinarian at The Animal Hospital of Carrboro, said vacci nations were the best way to battle rabies. State law requires pet owners to vacci nate their dogs and cats against the virus. “Rabies is a pretty nasty disease, but the vaccination (for domestic animals) puts up a fire wall of defense,” he said. Sauls said 80 percent of Orange County's registered dogs and cats were Do you suffer from cold sores! If so, then you may be just who were looking for.

Tick Clancy, the building contractor for the new church, said bad weather would not have a major impact on the completion of the project. “Weather (could be) a problem, but it should not hold up completion,” he said. vaccinated against rabies. Judy Butler, communicable disease program coordinator for the Orange County Public Health Department, said people who contracted rabies would most likely die. Because of rabies’ harsh effects, she said people needed a series of vaccina tions when there was the possibility of contact with a potentially rabid animal. “The vast majority of people that come in (for rabies-related concerns) realize that the risk is low,” Bulter said. “But they opt to get treated and not to take the risk.” Despite the small number of direct bites, Ward said the threat of indirect contact would keep rabies problematic. “This is a problem in Orange County because we’re seeing a great number of cases in wild animals,” he said. “We are in the midst of an epidemic.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. “The project should be over by April.” Armour said funding for the multi million dollar project came from three different sources. “Some of the money is coming from the previous capital fund drive,” he said. “We had anew fund drive that raised $1.5 million. We are going to receive money for the current property from Madison Partners.” Armour said Madison Partners LLC, located at 151 E. Rosemary St., had already bought the old church property and would assume ownership when the construction was completed and the relocation ended. “We have signed the agreements, and the money will come when we vacate the building,” he said. Armour said the church held meet ings to discuss the mission of the church and conducted a survey of the congre gation for architectural input prior to the start of construction. Cops in Diallo Case Face Review Despite Acquittal Associated Press NEW YORK - The four police offi cers cleared of murdering Amadou Diallo still face a departmental review that could keep them from ever return ing to the streets. The officers, who were acquitted on Friday, are all “decompressing” and have not yet decided whether they will seek to return to full duty, their lawyers said Monday. The officers - Kenneth Boss, Sean Carroll, Edward McMellon and Richard Murphy - remain on modified duty, meaning they are assigned to desk jobs and their badges and guns have been Home of "El Glgantt".

The officers fired 41 bullets at Diallo * in the vestibule of his Bronx apartment', building, mistakenly thinking the wallet he was holding was a gun.
