From Page One Plans Unveiled for Trade Center Site Some survivors of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack oppose construction where the World Trade Center stood. The Associated Press NEW YORK - Six proposals to rede velop the World Trade Center site were released Tuesday to a decidedly mixed reaction, with critics saying they includ ed too much office space on hallowed ground and had too little imagination. Others, however, said the plans included the two most important needs: a strong transportation hub and a pow erful memorial to the 2,813 people who died in the rubble. “They represent not initial ideas or wild visions but how much has been done and that we are very close to con sensus,” said Kathryn Wylde, head of the New York City Partnership, an orga nization of local business leaders. Each proposal calls for a memorial covering from four to 10 acres of the 16- acre site.

KARAOKE NIGHT TUESDAY BLUE CUP SPECIALS $1 DOMESTICS & $2 IMPORTS KIBERA From Page 1 have similar goals and deal with a simi lar community, 1 had heard a lot about CFK before I ever really considered going to Kibera,” Lake said. “1 was already planning a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe, so a few weeks later while I was trying to finalize my itiner ary I e-mailed Rye to find out if there was a space for me in Kibera." Kibera, the largest slum in East Africa, covers an area about the size of the University’s campus. Not only does the population face rampant and extreme poverty, but it does not have basic gov ernment services such as education, health care, sewage disposal or water. Ethno-religious tension, mostly between Muslims and Christians, has boiled into violence on more than one occasion. The goals CFK has established include preventing ethnic violence, developing leadership among the native Kenyans and encouraging people to keep working to improve their commu nity. And in order to make CFK’s mark remain and contribute to future efforts, CFK requires Kibera residents’ partici pation in activities such as cleaning up the streets, which are littered with debris and human waste. op the so-called “footprints” of the fall en twin towers and put the memorial elsewhere. All plans call for replacing the 11 mil lion square feet of commercial office space and the 600,000 square feet of retail space lost in the Sept. 11 attack. They also call for a 600,000-square-foot hotel to replace the hotel and mall that were destroyed. While no plan includes buildings as tall as the 110-story twin towers, each evokes the lost towers with at least one needle-like structure perched atop a building. The tallest structure in any of the plans is 85 stories. Each plan includes the word “memo rial.” John Whitehead, the head of the agency charged with rebuilding the site, said the proposals are works in progress and are subject to change before the final choice is made in December. “The six plans are not final blueprints,” said Whitehead, chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. “Each represents a package of proposed ideas. These ideas can be mixed and matched and reconstituted based on public input” Design professionals said they were “The organization is unique because it is in fact run by youth from each ethnic community, male and female, from Kibera,” Barcott said. “This is to say that we, the American outsiders, do not run the day-to-day operations of CFK. The residents have ownership in the projects.” Students working with CFK have helped establish the Rye Clinic, which took its name from the program’s founder and president; the Carolina Academy, a self-sufficient Montessori nursery school that educates children ages 2 to 6 for roughly $5 per month; and the Carolina for Kibera Kenya Sport Association, which gives area youths an unprecedented chance to play organized soccer games. CFK is now working to secure a $500,000 endowment, intended to pro vide the foundation with a permanent sports association. This association is looking to create the first girls’ soccer league in Kibera, something that taboo has prevented thus far. Also on the list of accomplishments, CFK is launching a peer educator program designed to help prevent the spread of HIV. Barcott said of Kibera’s 600,000 resi dents, half are under age 15 and a quar ter of those will die from AIDS-related complications by 2007. “Add to that the greatest tragedy of all - that there is in fact enormous potential disappointed that there was so little vari ety in the ideas presented. “These plans aren’t broad enough, bold enough or big enough,” said Mitchell Moss, director of the New York University’s Taub Urban Research Center. Alfredo Andia, an architecture pro- fessor who ran a months-long work shop among archi tecture schools on trade center plan ning, said he would have liked to see more vari ety.

Monica Iken, whose husband died in the attacks, said she is disappointed the plans called for so much office and retail space and were not definitive about the acreage for a memorial. “If we build a beautiful memorial, I WATER From Page 1 “The water shortage impacts the entire community, and we plan to work jointly with OWASA and offer them our assistance,” said Florentine Miller, Chapel Hill assistant town manager. OWASA officials stress that discon nection will only occur after “repeated and willful” violations.

Yet there is so little opportunity for that talent to develop and rise up from hand-to-mouth, day-to day existence.” Keeping with the program’s goal to educate, CFK also has plans to attempt to create a student-volunteer exchange program with both the Robertson and Morehead scholars. They also plan to found a Carolina Primary School and provide scholarships for Kibera’s youth. Interest in CFK has risen since the program’s inception in 2000. The num ber of volunteers looking to travel to Kibera has resulted in the program being forced to turn some help away. This influx speaks measures about the program’s meaning to its participants. Nick Lewis, a journalism and public relations major working in Kibera, said CFK has given him the kind of knowl edge that only experience can grant. “I’ve learned that the poverty that exists in places like Kibera is far too complex to tie up in a bundle and gen eralize from the U. 5.,” he said. “You can’t simply take a picture of it, put it on your fridge and say, ‘This is poverty, glad I don’t live in that.’” The Arts & Entertainment Editor can be reached at artsdesk@unc.edu. guarantee they will come. If we build office and retail space, I just don’t know,” said Iken, founder of the sur vivors’ group September’s Mission. She also said that building on the footprints of the twin towers is unac ceptable to many victims’ families. “The footprints are non-negotiable. They are sacred and hallowed space,” she said. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. George Pataki both insist ed that the propos als are works in progress. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said he thinks a “very substantial portion” of the site should become a memorial. All plans call for a transportation hub connecting PATH trains, ferries and all the subway lines that serve lower Manhattan, with the possibility of later connecting to commuter railroad lines. Although no housing is included on the site itself, the plans call for converting nearby properties into apartments. For now, OWASA is making its deci sions assuming there will not be enough additional rainfall to alleviate the drought any time soon and are confident that water conservation will be successful. Feller said, “In the past when there have been droughts, people responded. This community has strong conserva tion values.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
