He decided to try something new and headed to graduate school. “Being in California, where I could go to the beach every day, made my brain feel soft, like it needed a gym,” he said. Having completed his coursework in spring 2001, Potorti was beginning a job search in the fall while continuing to work on his master’s thesis when The N.C. Senate passed a session limit bill last year, but the House never voted on it. Goodwin said he also would support limiting the length of legislative sessions to ensure that the legislature remains rep resentative of the state by allowing work ing-class legislators to spend time with their families and at their full-time jobs. “If we don’t have reasonable session limits, eventually the members will either be retired or millionaires,” he said. “That would be one of the worst things that could happen.

Cole McLaughlin, a member of Campus Crusade for Christ, said Douglas had a unique perspective on the attacks. “It’s events like this that really shake people’s worlds.

Bleicher provided the officials with a long list of suggestions for improvement that ranged from better cooperation between public school and Chapel Hill bus systems to the introduction of buses with lower floors that would make them easier to board. Chris Potter, also with The Village Project, said Chapel Hill Transit needs better marketing. “Somehow we feel like public transit ought to be telepathically communicat ed to the public,” he said. Potter said a more concerted market ing campaign would raise public aware ness and make buses part of people’s lives. Chapel Hill Transportation Director Mary Lou Kuschatka said a marketing person has been included in the sys tem’s budget. “We hear you, and we are working on it,” Kuschatka said.
