(Efye Bailg (Ear Hrrl Aldermen Decide To Pursue Subsidies Several aldermen have some reservations about supporting Alderman Mark Dorosin's subsidy proposals. Bv Heather Apple Staff Writer Carrboro officials say they want to move forward with a plan to provide affordable housing for town employees. The Carrboro Board of Aldermen decided at its regular business meeting Tuesday night to investigate community interest and financing options for a housing subsidy program proposed by Alderman Mark Dorosin. “(Living in the town) helps strength en relationships between the entity of the town and the citizens,” Dorosin said. Of the 137 employees that work in Carrboro, 18 live in the town -13 percent Dorosin has submitted four different plans for the housing subsidy proposal, including the Individual Development Accounts program, in which the town will match funds saved by individual employees. Several aldermen backed Dorosin’s proposals with slight reservation. Alderman Diana McDuffee asked Dorosin what the next steps would be and requested more information, but said she wanted to move forward with the plan. “I think it’s really worth exploring,” McDuffee said. But McDuffee said she was con cerned about the town taking responsi bility for employees’ housing. “I hesitate to want to see us in the position of holding a second mortgage on someone’s home,” she said. Alderman Joal Broun also said she was concerned about taking such a big responsibility. She said she was not sure if the town had the financial capabilities FORUM From Page 3 icism of some faculty for advocating a nonmilitary response to the attacks. “A lot of faculty members have been accused of supporting the terrorists for their commitment to open discussion,” Heuer said. “This would make it clear that we condemn the terrorism.” But one member said the resolution MEMORIAL From Page 3 structed, Brannock said there was a cam pus police officer stationed at the site 24 hours a day.

It’s a way to bring and keep good people in our staff.” Gist said the three governing bodies could work through a local organization such as the Orange Community Housing Corporation to look at ways to solve this problem. Alderman Allen Spalt said that because of rising property costs, some town employees simply could not afford to live in Carrboro. “The price of a lot has doubled in Carrboro over the last 15 years,” Spalt said. “I worry that the price (of housing) has escalated so that it will take more than just a little bit of help.” A typical lot costs between $40,000 and $50,000. Spalt said that if employees lived in the town, they could take advantage of the system schools and be closer to work. Even though the findings of the research being conducted for each plan will not be ready until next month, Dorosin said he hopes to get the project under way within this budget cycle. “I’m interested in seeing this thing move forward as quickly as possible.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. should not be approved until it included requests for the administration to take preventive measures against future attacks. “I don’t see anything in this proposing some alternative action by the University to prepare for such attacks,” the member said.

Rep. Gregory Wahl, Dist. 1, said Congress passed the resolutions as a statement of their support for the victims of the attack. “The purpose of resolutions for Student Congress is to show unity behind a cause,” Wahl said. In addition, Student Body President Justin Young presented Congress with his administration’s October Report, a detailed description of projects his administration is presendy working on or plans to address this semester. Young discussed the executive branch’s involvement with a number of student organizations and causes, including the Carolina Lobby Corps, a group of students trained to lobby their state and local representatives and help make the student voice heard among “What is important now are the con cerns of parents who worry about the security of their children, the concerns of working people who worry about the security of their jobs and the concerns of all Americans who are committed to preserving our values, our freedom and our way of life,” Bowles said.

He boarded the bus in Chicago. “He just went up to the bus driver and, like, slit his throat,” passenger Carly Rinearson told WTVF-TV of Nashville. The FBI said Igric was apparently trying to take over the bus. “We believe he was acting alone,” said R.

In addition to presenting the report, Young issued an executive order for a special congressional election to fill what has become an overwhelming number of vacant seats in Congress. The special election will be held Nov. 7, the same day as the Homecoming King and Queen election. Young said that he and Emily Margolis, Board of Elections chair woman, decided to schedule the con gressional and Homecoming elections on the same day in an effort to increase voter turnout Candidates must notify the elections board of their intentions to run for a seat no later than two weeks before the Nov. 7 election. Young said he is not overly optimistic about the prospects of attracting candi dates to fill the vacancies in Congress. “We’re out and about, spreading the word,” he said. “But it’s tough to get people to run.” In addition, Congress confirmed that munity service and government gives me something valuable to my state and my country.” Bowles joins state Rep. Dan Blue and Secretary of State Elaine Marshall in the Democratic primary. GOP candidates include former presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot.
