4 Tuesday, November 13, 2001 PR Lot Might Expand, Add 500-Space Annex By J amie Dougher Staff Writer To address the eventual loss of on-cam pus parking for students living in resi dence halls, officials plan to add nearly 500 spaces to the Park-and-Ride lot The PR lot has 532 spaces for student and faculty use. Anew surface lot will be built adjacent to the existing PR lot to create 500 additional spaces. There are now 480 spaces on campus designated for students living in resi dence halls, but those spaces likely will be eliminated by the year 2005. Assistant Director of Parking Services Cheryl Stout said she is excited about the addition to the lot. “Certainly there will be a benefit to students who need a storage area for their car,” she said. But officials are not sure how many of the new spaces will be slated for student use. Derek Poarch, director of the Department of Public Safety, said the 500 additional spaces are a preliminary number and that the additional lot is still in design stages. But Poarch said additional spaces in the PR lot is an attainable goal. “We’re going to squeeze all we can squeeze,” he said. He said the issue will be discussed in future Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee meetings. The PR lot is located off campus in a relatively undeveloped area on Estes Drive. Stout said it should be easy to. add the 500-space lot adjacent to the Ql fkat do Q k'koM about Q k'hoM ow day Q'lt uOMd to sta/it a fa'hdy... but 'hot yet.

Poarch said the University will work with the town to improve transit options. “We’re going to do everything we can to make trips out there quicker and more reliable,” he said. Mary Lou Kuschatka, Chapel Hill Transit transportation director, said there are three bus routes traveling to the PR lot, with the last trip to the lot leaving at 10:34 p.m. Kuschatka said she understands that there might be a need to change ele ments of the transportation system with the PR lot’s expansion. Poarch said TPAC is considering other options to solve the problem of limited student parking, such as parking programs and other PR lots, but nego tiations still are under review. The DPS now offers parking passes to 600 applicants for the 480 spaces available on campus. Stout said an excess of applications are accepted every year because a cer tain portion of students choose not to park on campus after all. Stout said this system has never yield ed more student acceptances than there are spaces. She added that there are no plans to alter this system with the additions to the PR lot.

About 13 team members participated in Literacy Day, the first event of Children’s Rights Week, co-sponsored by the Campus Y’s youth outreach committee and Project Literacy. From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., several players, including senior linebacker David Thornton, senior defensive tack le Anthony Perkins, sophomore wide receiver Brandon Russell and freshman offensive lineman Jason Brown', took turns reading to elementary school stu dents in the Pit. Kindergarten through fourth-grade students from Mary Scroggs Elementary School’s after-school pro gram were excited to spend the after noon with some of their favorite play ers, organizers said. “The kids were ecstatic because they look up to these guys,” said Tricia Thompson, director of the after-school program. “I think the football players had just as much fun as they did.” Russell said he was happy to take part in the event. “You always get a good feeling when you read to kids,” he said. “You can tell they look up to you, so any chance we get to work with them is always a good experience.” After the players read some of the kids’ favorite books, by authors like Dr. Seuss, students got the chance to get autographs and take pictures with the athletes. “The football players were great,” Thompson said. “They let the kids sit on their laps and get their auto graphs. They were wonderful.” Perkins, who read books such as “Curious George Gets a Medal,” said he saw his involvement as beneficial to himself and to the children. “Asa student athlete, it is important to be involved in the community,” Perkins said. “The kids really enjoyed it, and I was able to take my mind away from school and sports for a little bit.” Along with reading, the football play ers also played football and kickball Kudzu LORP, AU-1 ASktS { J| ..PLUS MV OWN) ) tOR PEACE ON I I PARING SPACE!

Organizers of the event said they were pleased with the interaction between the students and the athletes and believed their goal of promoting literacy was met. “I think it went really well,” said Chris Lamb, co-chairman of Youth Outreach. “We wanted it to be a chance for (the stu dents) to see guys that they looked up to and to learn, through the football players, that literacy is a lifelong endeavor.” Youth Outreach Co-chairwoman Catie Cunningham said she was con Osiris 27 Kinski title role 28 Jazz singing 29 Greek letter 31 Assistant 32 U. tests 33 Unrestrained 34 Wolfish look 35 Asian oxen 38 Concerning 40 Spy Mata glow 3 Reveal the inner man? 4 Mighty long time 5 Fish for eels 6 Mete out 7 Reagan cabinet member 8 Hyperventilate 9 Frosty, e.g. 10 Umpire's call 11 Enraged 12 Mudd or Moore 13 Oglers 22 Rake handle 23 Go on a tirade 24 Dynamic leader? 26 Wife/sister of nr - 7 8 s - 11 1? 13 _ '^■'77 26 27 2B 30 32 ~ ( i 36 ■■■■■■3 B 39 ■KIT 4! 43 ■■■[■■44 gnr ■ ■Tg 50 HHHHH _ 5; , ;.4 _ R*"" - "" ’ ' ■■' ’ hS| mp ulhp Satlij QJar Hppl vinced that the children were made more aware that reading is important as a result of the event. Cunningham also was impressed with the team members’ dedication. “The football players just warmed up to the kids and got really personal with them,” she said. “They were really into it. “You could do nothing but smile at these big guys reading to little kids.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
