6 Tuesday, April 4, 2000 CHANCELLOR From Page 1 mer UNC-system President C.D. Spangler in late March and confirmed by the Board of Governors on April 11, 1988. However, Hooker’s selection in 1995 stretched on into a 14-month process. His name was finally submitted to Spangler on April 28,1995, and he was confirmed May 19,1995. Carabelli said a search was normal ly shorter than these examples. Whenever the chancellor is announced, the same process of adjust ment must begin, officials said. “Whenever a chancellor comes from outside, it takes a while for him or her to settle in and learn the culture, the play ers and the problems of the University,” said Provost Dick Richardson. “But I don’t see (the delay in this search) as a unique problem.” Richardson, who will retire injune, said the chancellor would face a transi tion specific to UNC’s climate. “Learning what the current needs are, capital facilities, faculty salaries - all of these are issues which will be right on the front burner when (he or she) walks in the door.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

In a sweeping verdict against the empire that Bill Gates built, U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said POLICY From Page 1 region. “We shouldn’t use the word growth like it’s a cancer,” Fetzer said. Durham Mayor Nick Tennyson said the discussion of urban sprawl for most people involved only one issue - traffic. Tennyson said traffic problems need ed to be solved to maintain a strong economy. Solutions offered in the past include the Triangle Transit Authority bus system and a rail system connecting major metropolitan areas. But despite the lengthy debate, none of the panelists could agree on a solution National Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, just as Standard Oil and AT&T did in earlier antitrust cases. He concluded that the company was guilty -as the federal government, 19 states and the District of Columbia had alleged in the case that began in October 1998 -of “unlawfully tying its Web browser” to its Windows operating sys tem that dominates the computer mar ket worldwide. “Microsoft placed an oppressive thumb on the scale of com for dealing with urban sprawl. The conservative Fetzer said the free market economy would allow the prob lem to eventually solve itself. “We need to discard Smart Growth because ... it means nothing and means everything.” He said that as a result of improving technology, commuting in the Triangle would decrease as more people worked from home, using virtual communica tion. Fetzer also said air pollution would decrease as newer, cleaner-burning cars came to dominate the roads. But Kinnaird said the government should create solutions to urban sprawl.

The Sound of One Hand Clapping is a sweeping novel of world war, migration, and the search for new beginnings in anew land. This is Richard Flanagan’s second novel.

The verdict affirms Jackson’s previ ous ruling in November that the soft ware giant is a monopoly -one that ille gally used its power to bully competi tors, stifle innovation and hurt con sumers in the process. The judge’s ruling can be appealed, delaying its impact for years, and Gates said the company would pursue that avenue. Carolina. “We need, as politicians, to lead the way into creative solutions, and people will follow,” she said. She said part of the problem could be solved by developing high-density inner cities. Kinnaird also said traffic prob lems could be relieved by encouraging more people to use public transporta tion. “Public transportation used to be the first option; now it is the last.” But Fetzer countered, saying more use of mass-transit was unrealistic. “People are addicted to the comfort and convenience of their automobile.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. While Microsoft “did everything we could to settle this case, we believe we have a strong case on appeal,” Gates said. “This ruling turns on its head the reality that consumers know: that our software has helped make PCs accessi ble and more affordable to millions of Americans.” The decision opens the door for the federal government to seek drastic penalties against Microsoft.

During his eight years as police chief, Pendergraph faced such tragedies as Wendell Williamson’s shooting spree on Henderson Street in 1995, the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house fire in 199(i and a suicide at Grey Culbreth Middle School in 1998. Although he said his job as police chief was fulfilling, Pendergraph said the six months he spent on foot patrol in 1973 marked the most enjoyable time in his career. “They gave us a used uniform, a gun, five bullets and a map,” he said. “Then we just went downtown, walked down the street and answered questions.” Pendergraph said the social aspect of his position made leaving difficult. “I’m going to miss most working with folks within the department and within the town,” he said. “The day-to-day con tact I have with people is an excuse for being part of the town.” Although Pendergraph said he was not sure what the future held for him, he said he definitely wanted to work, spend time with his grandchildren and possi bly volunteer in the community. Pendergraph said he would not work in law enforcement or have any estab Public Service Grants and Awards The Carolina Center for Public Service invites Faculty, Staff, and Student Organizations to submit proposals for collaborative public service projects.

Until a permanent police chief is selected in the next several months, Maj. Gregjarvies will serve as interim chief. Chapel Hill Town Council member Joyce Brown said she was happy for Pendergraph. “He’s done a really good job, and I’m sorry to see him go, but I understand that he wants to do other things in his life,” she said. Chapel Hill police spokeswoman Jane Cousins expressed mixed emotions about the chief s retirement. “I’m happy for him because he deserves to enjoy himself, but I’ll miss him not only as a chief, but also person ally,” she said. Town Manager Cal Horton said Pendergraph’s retirement marked a sad day for the department. “Ralph’s been a wonderful police chief,” he said. “One of the most impor tant things he’s done is continue the tra dition of intelligent and compassionate police services, which includes commu nity-oriented policing.” Although college-oriented events like Halloween on Franklin Street did make extra work for police, Pendergraph was quick to include students as part of his positive experiences. “The most pleasant part of my job is the students,” he said. “They are typi cally not the people that have a serious impact on criminal activity.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
