Klein said that it had been nearly 70
years since Tau Epsilon Phi had experi

Besides installing the sprinkler sys
tems, all houses require new water lines
to run the systems. Presently, anew
water main is being installed to serve the
five houses at Fraternity Court.
Many Greek houses are remodeling
as the systems are being installed.
Houses are also adding fire safety equip
ment and internet connections.
“When we discovered that the sprin
kler system was in the range of $60,000
to SIOO,OOO for our house, we decided
to go the full mile and raise as much
money as possible to renovate the entire
house,” said Klein.
While many are questioning why the
greek houses have waited until now to
begin installations and renovations,
Klein said it takes time.
“Architects had to look at the house
and decide what needed to be done,” he

president, student involvement in this
search was highly emphasized, Bresciani
said. Open forums during each candi
date’s interview were promoted through
the RHA and student government.
“I felt this is a position that so direct
ly effects students that their input is both
appropriate and coincidal to making the
best decision,” Bresciani said. “I think it
is a model of how searches should be
done.”
Current RHA President, Robin
Yamakawa, said she had the opportuni
ty to meet with candidates over a lun
cheon.
“(Student involvement is) an essential
part of the selection process,” she said.
“I’m glad the students had the oppor
tunity to be involved."
Now, the problem is actually decid
ing on a candidate. Bresciani said all

said. “Organizations also have to raise
and obtain the money and go through
different processes set up by the town.”
The Town of Chapel Hill has a set of
procedures the houses will have to go
through to make sure they comply with
town ordinances, said Town Council
Member Edith Wiggins.
Discussion arose concerning whether
officials wanted to exclude the greek
organizations from going before the
council for a review process to gain
authorization for building plans but,
changing development ordinances
would have been too problematic,
Wiggins said.
Council members decided against
changing ordinances because they gave
the fraternities first priority upon hand
ing in applications for council
review,Wiggins said.
“One of our expectations was that
they could act like citizens just like
everybody else,” Wiggins said. “The
expedited review seemed like some
thing we could do to help them speed
up the process.”

three candidates were highly qualified,
making the decision difficult.
“They’re all doing well in the screen
ing process,” he said. “I hope to be mak
ing a decision by the middle or end end
of this week.”
Officials said they already had high
expectations for the new director. The
new director will be expected to handle
renovations to several campus facilities,
as well as increasing residential educa
tion programs.
Despite being a challenging position,
the chance to come to UNC would be
an exciting one, officials said.
“I just think the (new director) is
going to have a great opportunity com
ing to Carolina,” Kuncl said.
Kuncl, who also serves as director of
development and marketing, is set to
officially retire from the University on
Aug. 1.

University Land Not Annexed to Town
The University also said no
plans to develop the land in

Town Council members decided
Monday to hold off on annexing
University property in Durham County.
Located off Barbee Chapel Road,
near Mason Farm and Finley Forest, the
area is in Durham County and has no
Chapel Hill zoning in effect.
On April 10, the Chapel Hill Town
Council adopted an ordinance to extend
the corporate limits of the town to

include this area effective June 30. The
Council proposed zoning for this area in
accordance with the 2000
Comprehensive Plan and Land Use
Plan adopted May 8.
Monday’s public hearing was held to
hear citizens’ comments concerning the
annexation. No action was scheduled for
Monday; the issue was continued until
July 5 to allow time for citizen notifica
tion.
The area is considered suitable for
many University uses. The land use clas
sification for the area is office/institu
tional, which permits the building of
schools, churches and day cares.
However, the University has no plans
to develop that area any time soon.
Aaron Nelson, University coordina
tor for local relations, said that while the
annexation is in accordance with the
2000 Comprehensive Plan, the
University has no current plans.
“Most of the land is undevelopable,”
he said Monday. “Annexation was not
by our request. This is not specifically
for any University project.”
Mayor Rosemary Waldorf said that
the University did not annex the prop
erty because they did not want further
land controls. She said the annexation is
an extension of the compromise
between Chapel Hill and Durham
County that includes the area as quali
fied for town annexation.
“The annexation is town-initiated,”
she said. “This was our effort to try and
be good planners.”
Some citizens are worried that devel
opment in this area could lead to traffic

to the point with my friends that she’d
hug and kiss them. Anybody that she
knew through one of ber guys, she’d
take care of them, too”
For instance, when one of Williams’
friends, Dave Kennedy, is mentioned,
Woods lights up. “He’s so precious,” she
says. “I would adopt him an a heart
beat.” And you get the feeling she real
ly would.
Kennedy fondly remembers Woods’
motherly care. “She had some cookies if
I was hungry,” he says. “She had some
soda if I was thirsty. She had some lotion
if I was ashen.”
The size of the extended Carolina
family that includes long-time support
ers and other friends of the family is
apparent from the gigantic Rolodex that
sits behind Woods. It has two huge rolls
and she also has an old Rolodex that has
yellowed index cards seeping out of it.
Woods has more numbers than a tele
marketer.
“It’s unbelievable the contacts that
she has,” Sullivan says. “She knows
someone to call if you want to send
flowers to a girl, or get tickets to a
Broadway play, or you’re going down to
Florida.”
Of course, there is a challenging side
to Woods’job.
“She has to deal with the tickets, the
phone calls, the requests,” Sullivan says.
“She does all the little things that need
to get done.” While the strains of meet
ing ticket demands or requests for
Coach Smith’s time might rattle some,
talking with people comes naturally‘to
Woods.
Coach Bill Guthridge says, “She
knows everybody and she represents
Carolina basketball better than any
body could do.”
Woods’ home away from home, her
office, lies deep in tbe belly of Smith

problems, specifically around Barbee
Chapel Road.
Evelyn Glatt, who lives near the area
to be annexed, pointed out Monday that
Barbee Chapel Road was a two-lane
road, with few points of entry, unable to
handle an influx of traffic that could be
caused by new development.
“It’s a series of accidents waiting to
happen,” she said. “The Council needs
to take the infrastructure into account.”
Brian Burke, another resident, also
voiced concerns about possible traffic
problems.
He said, “I just don’t know whether
Barbee Chapel Road can handle that
amount of traffic.”

Center. Woods’ door is the first one
down the hall, which makes it easy for
her to slip out into the lobby and greet
visitors to the office.
Sitting at her desk, Woods puts on her
rectangular reading glasses. The glasses
never stay on for more than a minute,
though, as another task or more likely,
conversation always presents itself.
This week, Woods is helping out with
basketball camp, which means lots of
former players are running around the
office and stopping by to visit with her.
Woods does have a family outside
Carolina Basketball and when she is
able to get away, she spends time with
them. She has two grown children, a
son, Thomas Jr., and a daughter, Amy,
who both live nearby. In fact, Amy and
her two children, Kelsey, 10, and Davis,
7, live only a couple of houses down
from her. And clearly, Woods enjoys
being a grandmother. Her favorite sport,
other than basketball, is “the sport my
grandchildren are playing at the time.”
But Woods spends most of her time
working. She guesses she works about
eighty hours a week. Guthridge kids
Woods that she is required to work those
eighty hours.
Williams explains the reason for the
long hours. “She’d start talking to the
guys and not get to the actual business
side of her job until late at night.”
“The days run right on into weeks,”
Woods says. “I don’t even know I’ve
had a weekend.”
In a few years, she says, she’ll reduce
the number of hours she works. The
program will have trouble filling her
shoes. “She’s a great ambassador for
Carolina Basketball,” Sullivan says.
“She makes it look as great as it is.”
But she’ll never leave Carolina
Basketball, she says.
And like any loving mother, you
know she never will.
