Musician Ring serves as a way of facilitating contact between UNC and Chapel Hill area musicians, such as helping groups find new members or other groups to play with. Gresham said he created the organi zation because he felt the need for a way to connect musicians. “There are so many musicians around here who want to meet people and play (music) with people,” he said.

Group members sat in the Pit this week and relied on word-of-mouth to publicize the organization and recruit people to join the listserv. Despite its status as anew organiza tion, Gresham said more than 100 peo ple have signed up for the listserv as of Wednesday. Gresham also said he hopes to get Hip Hop Nation and one of the UNC orchestra groups involved in the organi zation. Anthropology and folklore Professor Glenn Hinson is the newly appointed advisor for the group. Hinson said he feels Musician Ring is (C)2000 Tribune Media Services. Inc.

Hinson said the group’s purpose is to build a community atmosphere among musicians and end the isolation they sometimes feel. He said he hopes that through this organization, members can gain a greater sense of personal creative growth. Ariel Davis, a junior from Pittsboro who joined the group, said the new organization is well on its way to success because it offers a wide variety of talent “I like the ideas behind (the organi zation),” she said. “It is appealing to me because you can get in contact with everything and everybody you need.” Gresham said in addition to provid ing a forum for musicians, he hopes the group is able to provide venues for its members. “I am hoping to use the (group’s) sta tus as a campus organization to play music festivals and concerts,” he said. Gresham also said Musician Ring is open to all musicians and every instru ment and style, and no official campus affiliation is necessary. Hinson said the group hopes to become a solid voice in the music com munity. He said, “This ring is an emergent network to sort of join (musical) forces.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. SPORTS FANS Going lo the game? Want lo earn some extra cash?

Task Force to Discuss Housing Options Today By Charles Daly Staff Writer The Orange County Affordable Housing Task Force will address the continuing problem of providing options for lower-income residents in a meeting today. The task force will meet at 4:30 p.m. at the Southern Human Resources Center. In recent years, real estate has become more expensive, creating a market too competitive for many medi um-income families. “It would be easy for Chapel Hill to become a city of college students and retirees," said James Ward, a member of the task force. The Orange County Board of Commissioners established the task force in June to research ways to encour age affordable housing. Dan Coleman, another member of the task force, said the committee planned to complete its resolutions by the end of the year. “In the past decade, it has been increasingly difficult to find affordable housing,” Coleman said. “We hope to generate ideas to better use resources.” Coleman said students are part of the housing problem. “Students make the downtown areas The Sonja Haynes Stone Black Cultural Center & WNCU Jazz Radio FM 90.7 present Comedian, Activist, Motivational Speaker DICK GREGORY $25.00 General Public SIO.OO Student w/ID $125.00 (2) Patron Special guest appearance by Thursday, October 26, 2000 8:00pm Memorial Hall Tickets may be purchased at: Durham: North Carolina Central Box Office 919.560.5170 Millennium Music Brightleaf Square 919.683.2323 CFiapel Hill: Carolina Union Box Office 919.962.1449 Raleigh: Millennium Music 3131 Capital Blvd 919.863.6707 For more information contact the BCC at 919.962.9001 Patron Tickets Include Pre-Performance Reception & Parking Annual Sonja Haynes Stone Black Cultural Center Fundraiser Wednesday, October 25, 2000 less affordable,” he said. “They share the rent for houses and apartments and therefore drive up the price.” He also said the area was becoming an increasingly popular place to live, drawing retirees and more affluent fam ilies. Mark Dorqsin, a Carrboro Board of Aldermen member who also serves on the task force, said the project faces problems caused by popular miscon ceptions. “I think that people are afraid of cer tain aspects of this project because they think that affordable housing will not be compatable with the design of their neighborhoods,” Dorosin said. He explained that affordable hous ing, by federal standards, is property that sells for 80 percent of the area’s median income. Ward said the problem can only be solved effectively with careful planning for the future, including an emphasis on long-term affordability. He said the aim of the task force is to restore diversity to the town. “Public school teachers, people who cut hair, policemen and others would have the opportunity to live in Chapel Hill again.” The City Editor can be reached atcitydesk@unc.edu. 5
