Women’s studies Professor Karen Booth said she was disappointed admin istrators failed to attend the event. “We know'there are some queer and quite rnendly (administrators) out there, but not here (at the march),” she said. To heighten protesters’ energy, lead ers of the procession shouted prompts through a megaphone, such as “What do we want?” Chanters (proudly) called back “Justice” to be followed in union BODY From Page 1 gist, actually performed the autopsy. Chancellor would not comment on the autopsy results, which are not public RAG From Page 1 However, flag supporter Billy Morris of Fort Mill, S.C., said the issue did not revolve around hate but was centered on remembering South Carolina’s Civil War veterans. “Southern people died for this flag,” he said. “If anything, let’s put it on the very top above the nation’s flag.” In an expression of disapproval over the Confederate flag remaining on the state house, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a resolution Jan. 1 urging mem bers to boycott South Carolina until the flag was brought down. Despite claims by flag supporters that the boycott had not affected the state, officials from the South Carolina Convention and Visitors Bureau said Dilbert® ' ALUJAYS ASK | CTHIS s (Sjiw\ ..

Displaying “Straight But Not Narrow” signs, allies proudly marched alongside their chanting counterparts. Junior Erin Karcher said this year’s turnout was much greater than in the past two years. To further honor QNC Celebration Week, members will host a dinner at the Artist’s Escape at 8:30 p.m. tonight, to record until the investigation is com plete. The woman is described as being 5- foot-5 to 5-foot-7 and weighing about 120 pounds, according to a press release. No clothing or identification was found at the scene. since the boycott was instituted, 122 conventions had been canceled statewide and the state had lost more than $lO million in revenue. Following the NAACP’s lead, UNC’s Student Congress issued a resolution in February backing the boycott and encouraging students to avoid South Carolina until the flag was brought down. However, sophomore Erica Lee, who traveled to Columbia on Wednesday night for the protest, said the resolution had done little to influence the cause. “As neighbors to the north, we should be concerned about what is happening in South Carolina,” she said. “Efforts at UNC haven’t been very involved.” Lee also said students needed to adhere to the boycott and continue to voice resistance against the Confederate flag because the issue affected race rela tions at UNC. “The issue needs to be addressed on nation: abbr. 10 Auditory organ 11 Interwoven locks 12 Two under par 13 Mirth 18 Connection 19 Festive affair 24 Warbled 25 Sacred image 26 College grad 27 Actor Alain 30 French sculptor 31 POW possibly 32 Commercial pieces 33 Blackjack play er's request 35 Fort Peck or Grand Coulee 37 A couple 38 House mem ber, briefly 39 ExfSt 41 Beatty and Buntline 42 Rolls of bills 43 Ark builder 48 Composed 49 Dazed and confused 51 Snacks 52 Bombastic ' p |3 P [6 p p 10 It! 12 1 13 ■i& im _ -., ■■■ii iit'iippU 33 __ - 4? ~ ppr; pr iSi ' ip ~ mu 56 57 58 59 60 ~ __ . 66 67 68 ib ” r ~ .4 4- m —f- -4- “EXPOSURE 2000” Saturday, April B,4pm-12am at Pantana Bob’s f ea Sankofa, Hobex, The Nomads & Acoustic Syndicate Tickets $lO in the Pit -18 and over admitted sponsored by Delta Sigma Phi & Sigma Sigma Sigma Fresh new /TH VV* fashions (yy\ ‘ arriving daily! jj Chapel Hill • 928-0100 Carrboro • 933-5544 Durham- 286-7262 | From Page One be followed by dancing at Gotham nightclub’s “Insomnia” night. The carousing march strongly con trasted with Wednesday’s hourlong silent protest that celebrated the National Day of Silence. Karcher said that while the silent protest raised awareness of those expect ed to stay in the closet, the marchers had a different point. “It’s a very different thing that we’re showing,” she said. “This is in celebration of all the people that can be proud of who they are.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

He stands for families and he stands for justice.” Randolph said the positive turnout at the protest proved that South Carolinians were committed to the fight to remove the flag from the statehouse. “I hope today’s turnout sends a mes sage to the general assembly that the people of South Carolina want this flag down,” he said.

From Page 1 Burnett has watched numerous bars fall prey to Franklin Street’s high rate of bar turnover during his two decades with the bar he now runs. He said the reason He’s Not Here has avoided a similar fate was the same reason behind the bar’s enduring popularity. “We’re outside,” Burnett said. “We’re not claustrophobic and smoky like other bars.” Although the bar enjoys less busi ness during the colder months, Burnett said He’s Not Here was one of the most popular places to go in Chapel Hill during the warmer seasons. “When the students come back from Spring Break, they want that same feel ing of being outside,” Burnett said. “So when the weather gets nice, we’re the place to be.” In addition to being one of Chapel Hill’s few places where beer is served indoors and outdoors, He’s Not Here owes some of its icon status to the now famous 32-ounce Blue Cup. Burnett’s mid-1980s invention, the Blue Cup was not bom out of market ing savvy, but out of necessity. When the health department began inspecting bars to make sure beer pitchers were sterilized, the bar was forced to install plumbing and wiring to meet cleanliness standards. During the interim period of instal lation, Burnett filled the void left by pitchers and ordered giant food cups. The blue food cups of draught beer caught on quickly. Not only could thrifty students take them home for use TRADITION From Page 1 offered a SIOO bar tab as a prize and started taking patrons’ suggestions as soon as it opened in September 1999. An English major won, proving it pays to know one’s Shakespeare. Another name for the fairy Puck in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Robin Goodfellow was just what part-owner Mike Sheppard was looking for. “We took the name Robin Goodfellow and kind of changed him into the fairy of the perfect pint,” Sheppard said. “If someone pours you a perfect pint of beer, it means the beer fairy is looking out for you.” The owners of Woody’s Tar Heel Tavern & Grill on East Franklin Street picked their bar’s name like parents with their firstborn. Although the first Woody’s opened up in Cary in 1992, both take their names from a three page list of ideas that the owners nar rowed down over breakfast. “I get asked this 30 times a day, and no, it has nothing to do with (basket ball announcer) Woody Durham,” said 7:10, 9:30, weekends 2:10, 4:30 7:00, 9:20. weekends 2:00, 4:20 ( Sat/Sun 1:15 Daily 3:15,5:15.7:15,9:15 tvn .

And being half the size of pitchers, patrons could drink their beer before it got warm. Now donning the bar’s logo, patrons continue to bet each other Blue Cups over dart games downstairs, making the Blue Cup a veritable symbol of a Carolina institution. Because of the trademark Blue Cup, Chapel Hill resident Brian Luckadoo, 23, makes it a He’s Not Here night whenever he decides to go out on Franklin Street. “You can ask someone if they want to go get a Blue Cup, and they know what you’re talking about,” Luckadoo said. “I like the Blue Cup because you don’t have to go back to the bar so many damn times.” Despite its popularity, it’s not the Blue Cup that spawned He’s Not Here’s rare sense of identity. Nor is it the quick-witted humor of Burnett and his friendly bartender banter. That honor goes to the name of the bar itself. Many a Blue Cup has been downed while patrons pondered the lore sur rounding the bar’s mysterious name. Some have said the bar was founded by women who intended the name to designate it as a lesbian singles bar. Others believe the name was taken after the two founders of the bar grew tired of their wives calling the bar dur ing their coinciding divorces. Co-founder of He’s Not Here, Dave Kitzmiller, said the story behind the name isn’t quite that outlandish. Aficionados of old films, Kitzmiller and partner Mike Troy thought of Humphrey Bogart films in which on screen bartenders would screen calls Sean Whisnant, chuckling, the owner of Woody’s Tavern in Cary. “Around this time, Beavis and Butthead were pretty popular and w'ere saying ‘woody’ in every other sentence. So we wanted to be able to say ‘We’re so excited to see you when you come in that we had to call ourselves Woody’s.’” Not all bars in town have an unusu al story behind their names. Linda’s on East Franklin Street, founded in 1976, is named for co-owner and Chapel Hill-native Linda Williams, who han dles the financial books of the bar. Like He’s Not Here on West Franklin Street, one bar gets its share of confusion when its bartenders answer the phone. 23 Steps on East Franklin Street tapped its first keg three years before Michael Jordan’s restaurant 23 opened, but owner Jim Earnhardt said he gets “20 calls a day” £nter the (II SS Kateigh USA/Teen USA \ Miss Charlotte USA/Teen \(Ages 15 to 26. call 301-577-5440) W' Official preliminaries to Miss NC USA/Teen USA (Entry lee to the state program will be paid for the local winners.) “POWERFULLY RISKY AND INTENSE!” ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Owen QLEIBERMAN . * Mi tt ip gt wwwtaonycowyblaelwndwWte .

It was the same logic behind Out to Lunch.” He’s Not Here was not the duo’s only venture, nor was it their only unusual moniker. Out to Lunch was a restaurant they started in the mid-1970s and was located on the left side of what is now the downstairs section of He’s Not Here. In the late 19705, the partners devot ed all three sections of building space to He’s Not Here, the original venture that had been confined to the upstairs. Still renowned for Peaches the dancer, The Carolina Keg was the upstairs strip club that preceded He’s Not Here and is the reason for the dis creet side entrance to the bar that faces Rosemary Street. While other bars pour beer. He’s Not Here pours tradition. However, when they founded He’s Not Here, they were less than optimistic about the prospects of the bar. “When we bought it, w'e figured we’d hire some students to help us sell a lot of cheap beer,” Kitzmiller said. “We didn’t think we’d be here more than two years. Now we get alumni who come talk to us with their kids on graduation weekend, and they tell us ‘Hey, I used to drink here when I was a Carolina student.’” The Features Editor'can be reached at features@unc.edu. intended for the restaurant. The bar forged its name from the number of steps leading up to the bar (not including the landings in the stair case), but Earnhardt said he originally intended to call the bar something “a little less generic and safe.” “The Village Idiot” was the appella tion Earnhardt wanted when he opened his doors in 1997, but he learned that the name had already been registered in South Carolina. Now-defunct bars such as Trol’s and Four Comers prove that original names cannot guarantee permanence. But in a downtown with more than 15 bars, chameleonic street fronts and transient businesses, making a name for yourself is the name of the game.
