Jeanne Smythe, director of ATN computer policy, said it is difficult for the University to be a watchdog for ASU From Page 3 Lyons also describes his force’s role at ASU as unobtrusive. “We don’t patrol campus; we work hand in hand with (campus police),” he said. ASU and the surrounding communi ty have resorted to intensified drug patrolling because of the lack of success of previous approaches. HARGRAVES From Page 3 18 years, said he played at the center as a child. Now he runs the center. “We have all kinds of educational and enrichment programs for anyone 5 to 95 years old,” Davis said. “And we allow most any nonprofit organization to hold their meetings at the center.” One of those nonprofit groups is EmPOWEßment Inc., a grassroots community development corporation that does a lot of its work in the Northside neighborhood. Terry Carver, who works for EmPOWEßment, said he grew up with Davis. Carver lives on Lloyd Street, which is one street over from Northside. He said the center is a “blessing” to the area. “My wife and I really enjoy taking our granddaughter to the center to play with all the other children,” Carver said. But Northside faces another problem. Carver said the neighborhood has changed due to investors buying up property in Northside to make off-cam pus housing for students. “Hardly any of the people that I grew up with still live in the neighborhood, Ak you for sunnltnCk j ok?

Shaffer said educating students about the negative effects and legal conse quences of drug use does not seem to be as effective as actually holding students responsible for their transgressions. “Our primary methods that we have been employing for some time have been education and awareness,” Shaffer said. “But those aren’t near as effective as enforcement.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. and at least the center is doing something about getting the community together on those kind of issues,” Carver said. The Hargraves Center got its start part ly because of the Great Depression. Construction of the center was completed in 1945 with funds from both the Works Progress Administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and Chapel Hill’s Negro Civic Club. The idea for a community center started with the Negro Civic Club. Members were con cerned the town lacked a facility where blacks could socialize and participate in organized recreational activities. Although crime and the lost sense of community are real threats, the center’s programs are helping to answer those concerns, residents said. Gloria Lindsay, 43, of 215 Roberson St. lives across the street from the center. She said she has lived in Northside since she was bom and went to the center as a child. “We didn’t have those after-school (programs) where all the students come over and mentor. I wish that they had these programs around when my son was a boy.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. School Board Hears Redistricting Fears By Lee Spears Staff Writer Residents of a local community are concerned that a proposal to ease school overcrowding will split their neighbor hood along district lines. Representatives of the Lake Hogan Farms community voiced their concern about a proposed solution to overcrowd ing at Thursday’s meeting of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Board of Education. The plan involves spot redistricting near McDougle Elementary School, and resi dents are asking the board to come up with new answers for the school system. One of the board’s plans includes the redistricting of Lake Hogan Farms devel opments Bolin Ridge and Glenn Ridge, which would affect the future sites of 98 SENTENCE From Page 3 Other residents blamed the environ ment on Sykes Street for Taylor’s death. “There are a couple of drinking hous es that are right over there,” said Ralph Milliken of 611 Gomains Ave., pointing to the area where Taylor was shot. “It should be pretty much like any bar, but anybody can pretty much come and go.” Several residents of the area around Sykes Street and Gomains Avenue said the situation in their neighborhood began improving five or six months ago. Residents partly attributed the improve ment to the efforts of the Chapel Hill Housing Department, which operates public housing. “What did good was the Housing Department coming in and putting up ‘no trespassing’ signs,” said Eddie Scotton, ofsoo-A Sykes St “I guess “Studying Abroad Can Change Your Life” Come and find out about UNC Spring Semester in Montpellier FRANCE Informational Meeting Where: Dey Hall, Room 113 UNC-Chapel Hill When: Wed., Feb. 7, 2001 • 3:30-5:00 pm Video followed by discussion with farmer Program participants.

While the areas are present ly in the McDougle Elementary School district, the redistricted areas would become part of the Carrboro Elementary School district under the proposal. Although the alternate recommenda tion would not make students of McDougle subject to redistricting, resi dents still are concerned that fragmen tation of the neighborhood and com munity could result. Claire Rockman, Jeff Walton and Kelly Wayne, who acted as representa tives for the Lake Hogan Farms com munity, asked the board not to split up the neighborhood because it would dis rupt the lives of the children. “We are asking you, imploring you, don’t separate our children,” Rockman they’ve got some pull around here.” But Scotton also said that only a few months ago, there were people smoking crack in his yard. “A lot of us started reporting this shit and then they put up the ‘no trespass’ signs and ran the people out,” Scotton said. “They got most of the bad apples out, but then a few sneak back in. You can’t cure everything.” Scotton said it was possible that Taylor’s death lead to stronger efforts from the residents and the town to make the neighborhood safer. “I guess some times someone has to get killed for things to get straightened out,” he said. But Chapel Hill Police Chief Gregg said. “Don’t divide our neighborhood.” Wayne said the neighborhood was affected by redistricting in 1999 and will likely be impacted again when two new elementary schools open in 2003. Despite the residents’ concerns, the board said it will continue to discuss the redistricting plan. “The idea of not redis tricting at all is unrealistic,” board mem ber Maryanne Rosenman said. But Superintendent Neil Pedersen warned fellow board members against the quick fix that redistricting would provide. “All of these alternatives would work for the next year, but some of them wouldn’t work for longer," he said. “At some point we need to increase our capacity drastically, even before our new elementary schools come on line.” Erin Denniston, co-chairwoman of Jarvies said the police and town officials had been working to improve the situa tion in Northside long before Taylor’s “They got most of the bad apples out, but then a few sneak back in. You can’t cure everything. ” Eddie Scotton Northside Resident and residents in Northside. “You have an individual who fired a high-caliber rifle into a crowd and killed a woman,” Jarvies said, “And will, in a few months, be able to go back to the same neighborhood.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.

Some of tile yearly influx into the school district is due to the reputation for excellence that the schools have. Pedersen said there are 45 teachers in the system certified by the State Board of Education, more than any other sys tem in the state. “They bring a level of excellence, which really benefits our school system," he said. The school board will have a plan ning retreat Feb. 12-13 and will announce its final solution to over crowding at its meeting on March 1. The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. HORNBERG From Page 3 death. “We’ve been working with the Northside resi dents for a couple of years now,” Jarvies said. Jarvies said he was not pleased with the sentence in light of the efforts of police he said. “(In the Air Force), there is not one single event, but a cumulative series that causes growth and maturity.” Some cadets said hearing Homburg speak motivated them to pursue oppor tunities in the Air Force. Pete Minnar, a UNC freshman political science major from Massachusetts, said he was inspired by Homburg’s many years of commitment to the Air Force and his personal experiences. Minnar said, “The speech was very inspirational, and it made me look for ward to an entire career in the Air Force, not just the mandatory service years after graduation.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
