Humphreys, executive director of the
Downtown Commission.
Lucy’s, located at 114 Henderson St.,
opens today and will feature fresh
seafood, Humphreys said.
“That will be a really nice addition,”
he said. “There’s really not a seafood
restaurant in downtown Chapel Hill"
Another new restaurant, Sukura, a
Japanese steakhouse, will open very
soon, Humphreys said.
It appears as if Franklin Street is
vibrant, with shops opening all around.
But several restaurants have been
strangely vacant for quite awhile.
The Wicked Burrito, at 214 W. Franklin
St, was a popular Mexican restaurant that
closed nearly two years ago.
It was owned by the Lone Star Steak

“I feel good about it,” Plyler said.
“Under the circumstances, I think we’ve
done an excellent job.”
Young joined several other student
leaders at Monday’s meeting to voice
their concerns on the education cuts.
He said it is frustrating that such an
influential decision is being made when

House Corp., but about two years ago,
the company changed ownership.
When the new management restruc
tured, they closed 26 of their restaurants,
including the Wicked Burrito.
Humphreys said perhaps the compa
ny is waiting for the right opportunity to
reopen or build something else where
the Wicked Burrito used to be.
“If they sold it, they would lose that
opportunity,” he said. “It’s kind of like a
lost-opportunity cost.”
Downtown property is so expensive
that only large corporations can afford
to let property sit, Humphreys said.
“We’d love to have them do some
thing, but we do respect their ownership
rights to do what they want with their
building,” he said.
The building that used to be a
Hardee’s restaurant, which sits across
from the Wicked Burrito, has also been
vacant for about two years, but was
most students are not around.
“Only a handful of students were
able to get out there and lobby,” he said.
“That’s to be expected because it’s the
summer.”
Association of Student Governments
President Andrew Payne had similar
sentiments.
“Students have already left for sum
mer and they’re going to come back to
this tuition increase,” he said. “That rais
es concerns. It puts students and families

recently purchased by Prestige
Associates Inc. of Chapel Hill on May 17.
Antoine Puech, president of Prestige
Associates, said they would like to rede
velop the site, which would involve
knocking down the current building and
putting up anew one.
Puech said he is not sure when they
will start building because plans still
have to be drawn and passed by the
Chapel Hill Town Council.
While their plans are in the works,
Prestige Associates will lease the site to
another business yet to be determined.
His company will lease the site out in
the next 30 to 60 days, and in several
years they will redevelop it, Puech said.
“There are a host of potential tenants,
from car rental companies to restaurants
to tanning salons.”

in a difficult situation.”
But budget debates are far from
being over. The full Senate is expected
to approve the budget today.
The budget will then be sent to the
House for debate, which could be a
long process.
“The House is more divided than the
Senate is,” said Rep. Ruth Easterling, D-
Mecklenburg. “There’s just no way to
say what will happen.
“This is not the worst budget, but
we’re having a more difficult time.”

today.” He said the proposal essential
ly echoed the board’s own wishes.
“We’re not here to react, to disagree
or to be controversial,” he told board
members. “We concur wholeheartedly.
Asa board, we’ve had an abundance of
discussion regarding flexibility for our
campuses.”
The board voted to recommend to
the legislature a set of suggestions draft
ed by Broad, which board member
John Sanders said
corresponded
closely to the leg
islative proposal.
“I think we’re
seeking the same
objective,” Sanders
said. “I thought it
was a constructive
meeting that gave
firm support to the
president"
“Allowing the campuses more
flexibility will streamline
administrative functions and
save some money. ”
Andrew Payne
ASG President
Association of Student Governments
President Andrew Payne, the student
representative on the board, said he saw
the proposal as a benefit for students.
“Allowing the campuses more flexi
bility will streamline administrative
functions and save some money,”
Payne said. “I think what’s important is
that the Board of Governors made a
stance today particularly when it comes
to tuition.” He said one significant dif
ference between the proposal and the
suggestions Broad and the board rec-
ommend is in the individual campuses’
ability to raise tuition. In the Senate’s
proposal, tuition increases become a
function of the individual boards of
trustees, whereas the board recom
mends allowing individual tuition
increases only in emergency situations.
“The senate language sort of
reversed the board’s tuition policy,”
Payne said. “What the BOG said is that
our policy is important - campuses
need to identify an emergency before
raising tuition without going through
the board.”
But Payne said he is confident the
board’s recom
mendations will be
incorporated into
the legislation.
“I believe that
the president is
going to work with
the leadership and
I think we’re going
to see all of those
changes come into
play,” he said.
Other board members also praised
the proposal. “It’s going to take some of
the red tape out,” Ruffin said. “It’s going
to streamline it and even more so it’s
going to save the state money.
But attempts to streamline the
process of initiating the proposed
changes were not universally regarded
as necessarily beneficial.
“We just don’t think we’ve had
enough time to study this adequately
enough to make a decision today,” said
BOG board member Frank Grainger,
who read a minority opinion from the
Personnel and Tenure committee
expressing fears that the board has not
had sufficient time to consider the pro
posal’s personnel aspects.
But in general, BOG members and
legislators alike expressed support for
the proposal.
“Any time we can cut out obstacles
that prevent students from having won
derful opportunities to learn and devel
op, then that's great for our state,”
Garrou said. “It’s exciting to think that
we may be getting to the point.”

with the town. “The town and
University have had their disagree
ments, but generally we’ve been able to
work together,” she said.
But Shelton said the bill will enable the
University to go forward with the Master
Plan without the level of Town Council
approval needed in the past “It is a pos
itive step for the University,” Shelton
said. “It facilitates our planning process.
“It gives University greater indepen
dence from the approval process, but I
want to stress that the University will
still work closely with the town.”
Shelton said whether the bill becomes
a law or not, it should not affect the basic
good relationship that both the
University and town want to have.
Moeser said in the statement that if
the General Assembly passes the bill,
the provision would ensure discussions
between the town and the University
would be between equals.
Town and University officials met
May 24 to discuss ways to minimize the
adverse impact of the Master Plan on
the town. Moeser said these conversa
tions between town and University offi
cials are helping to keep good relations.
“Obviously, there are some serious
issues,” he said. “There has been per
sonal animosity, but it has been very
civilly handled on both sides.”
