Slip iailg (Ear Mppl FRESHMAN From Page 3A Pridgen said might put some people at ease. “I think it’s great because there are so many Caucasians on campus that that’s all you see," said Pridgen, a black stu dent from Whiteville. “There will be people feeling more comfortable on campus.” But Lucido said the most impressive characteristic of the freshman class is its ability to be both the biggest and the best. “It’s traditionally believed to be hard to grow a class at the same time as hav ing higher quality.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

You can actually sit down in our living room,” Campenella said. “I’ve put a lot of work and love into this place.” ■ Kurama Sushi & Noodle Cafe, 105 N. Columbia St. At the center of Kurama sits a motor ized, rotating sushi buffet called a kaiten sushi that manager Izumi Koito says is the single most distinguishing facet of the restaurant. “You see some in California and New York, but we’re the only place (here) with a kaiten sushi,” Koito said. ■ Lucy’s, 114 Henderson St. After opening June 1, co-owner Bruce Mason said he hopes to attract “every sin gle person in Chapel Hill” to his cajun style restaurant. The restaurant will host the Thursday night broadcasts of UNC football coach John Bunting’s show. “It’s a beautiful place with one damn good-looking owner,” Mason said. WIRELESS From Page 3A Franklin Street “You could be sitting in Ye Olde Waffle Shop and be connected to the Internet,” Moore said. Moore said she thinks the entire cam pus could be wireless within five years. Wireless technology has already been utilized in some classes, such as Chemistry 11 and some freshman English classes. When all undergraduates own laptops in two years, more classes will use the technology, Moore said. More than 20 percent of this year’s freshmen purchased wireless cards. The price of the CCI laptops should remain constant despite the installation of wireless cards because of other techno logical changes to the computers, Moore said. One such change is the elimination of disk drives in favor of high-capacity memory keys, which hold more than five times the information of a regular diskette. Moore said the wireless technology is cost effective for the University.

Franklin St. By the looks of the Chinese restau rant’s exterior, Chapel Hill resident Creighton Humphreys says one would n’t know what to expect. But he said he can’t get enough of die Red Wok, which opened its doors to the public in April. “You can only eat about a third of what they put on the plate,” said Humphreys. ■ Valentino’s, 100 W. Franklin St. Dining Room Captain David Anthony Crusco described Valentino’s, the upscale family-owned and operated Italian restaurant, as “something built and set-up like a restaurant you would see in New York.” “We serve authentic Italian dishes that have been around for thousands of years,” Crusco said. Opening Soon ■ Expressions, 137 E. Franklin St. Stacked, unopened boxes and a handwritten “opening soon” poster are all that constitute Expressions, a variety store that manager Droo Skidmore said will try to “accommodate the abnormal” of Chapel Hill. “We’ve got all kinds of weird stuff like UNC to give more financial aid to stu dents to offset the cost of the CCI laptops. “It’s going to save the University a lot of money while actually providing better access,” Moore said. “Wireless is hap pening big time.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

The CAA also is developing plans to add risers to the other end of the bas ketball court, but Chaney said this idea is still developing. CAA members also plan to conduct a distribution for the Florida State University and East Carolina University football games. Students can go to the Smith Center and pick up randomly selected tickets over a three-day period.

MASTERPLAN From Page 3A 1 1 :: 11 “We rezoned ... quite a bit of University property,” she said. “The floor area cap is gone. “At the same time, I think the council was appreciative of the fact that the University was willing to make some compromises, par ticularly within the Mason Farm neighborhood.” T h e Development Plan brings several issues to the fore front, including housing, trans portation and stormwater man- “The important thing is that the work receives the attention it requires. ” Cal Horton Town Manager agement Waldorf said it is important to address the issue of transportation for safety reasons both on the campus and in the town. “We’re going to have to focus on making provisions for safe pedestrian access and use all over campus because we are concerned about that too, even on the interior of the cam pus,” she said. “We don’t want anybody to be hit by a car.” Town Manager Cal Horton said he Maui Smoothie' A Taste Of Paradise !

Runberg said after the hearing is completed, UNC must present the final draft to the town council. Presendy, that date is set for Sept. 19 and, should things move on schedule! the plan could be sealed by early October. “We hope to get final approval of the plan from them without any adverse stipulations.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. 7A
