Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres announced in Israel that the Jewish state was also pulling out of the conference because of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic comments. The Arab League had led a concert ed effort to single out Israel and blame it in unacceptable terms for the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, he said. Most of the pupils - girls as young as 4 wearing brand-new red uniforms -were sent home early, in tears, from Holy Cross Primary School. A fleet of Catholic-run black taxis ferried them past lines of police with helmets and shields, while many of the Protestants shouted curses and insults. “This looks like Alabama in the ‘6os,” said Brendan Mailey, leader of a Catholic parents group that refused to use a rear entrance and insisted on using the front door of the school, which lies in the small Protestant section of Ardoyne. “It’s beyond my worst nightmare,” said the Rev.

The United States was part of those talks. This is the third world conference on racism, but the first the United States and Israel have attended. Both countries boycotted the 1978 and 1983 confer ences in part because of similar anti- Israel language. The draft document recognized with “deep concern the increase of racist prac tices of Zionism,” and said Zionism “is based on racial superiority.” Israel is the only country mentioned specifically in the document, which accuses the Jewish state of “practices of racial discrimination.” ents rejected during previous confronta tions in June. Protestants have not chal lenged Catholics using the rear entrance. Local Protestants said Monday that they were responding to Catholic attacks on their neighborhood, which is separated from the Catholic part of the district by high metal fences. EASTGATE From Page 3 While long-term improvements remain in the works, merchants brace for rain storms with short-term flooding solutions like sand bags. “We have sand bags but it’s not enough to stop what happened last year,” said Brad Feren, an employee at Sal’s Pizza. Feren said the restaurant still faces slight flooding after steady rains, includ ing an incident three weeks ago, when water came 30 feet into the kitchen area. Other items to be repaired include a culvert under the center and extensive improvements in parking lot drainage system. The culvert, one of the main pipes, is also expected to be completed in the coming months, but parking lot repairs have been delayed until after Christmas to avoid disruption of holiday shopping.

Tuesday, September 4, 2001 Chapel Hill Town Council member Bill Strom said the town has already taken other measures to improve the shopping center’s situation. “We have gone downstream of Eastgate and improved the Elliot Road culvert and we are using town assets to mitigate the other problems of Eastgate,” Strom said. In addition to the culvert on Elliot Road, the town is also sharing the costs to fix the storm drainage pipe. “While it’s not our primary role to spend money on private property improvements, we should be involved, and it’s not beyond our realm to be involved,” Strom said. Connor said she hopes Eastgate’s luck will continue until repairs could be completed. “I just pray that mother nature will continue to be kind to Eastgate this year.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. 5
