2 Tuesday, September 3, 2002 NYC Photos on Display at Open Eye Shots focus on the city, not Sept. 11 Bv Aaron Freeman Staff Writer To coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Carrboro’s Open Eye Cafe is featuring anew exhibit called “NYC Photography Memorial.’’ But the photos don’t focus on what’s missing in New York - they focus on the diversity and spirit that remains. The pictures, taken by UNC alum nus Joshua Corbin, showcase the ele gance and personality of New York City and shy away from the type of graphic images used constantly by the media since the World Trade Center attacks. Asa resident of lower Manhattan, Corbin captured many images before, during and after September of last year. The range of the photographs is impeccable. Pictures of fire-breathers at Coney Island’s “Mermaid Parade” showcase the spirit of the city, while images of the City of Light Memorial show one way New York coped with Sept. 11. “The idea wasn’t to capitalize on the gore factor,” said cafe owner Scott Connary. “The exhibit is more about reflection.” In addition to capturing the splendor of the city, several pictures serve as a £§£rsZ?£r/j£2§£Jl jJz'zMifs A Delivery and pick-up Of /?.7/£’/e//T Call for details.

In a photograph simply tided “Chinatown, 2002,” Corbin shows two Asian children peering out of a brick lined window with a small, tattered American flag gendy blowing in the wind. The picture silently reveals the scope of the sorrow felt in New York City. It’s pictures like these, not pictures of Ground Zero, that really encapsulate the suffering that occurred on Sept. 11 which is something that people need to remember, said Connary. “It seems like people are distancing themselves from the reality of it and for get that the people that lost their lives were just going through an average Campus Calendar Today 5 p.m. - The Daily Tar Heel will hold a meeting in Student Union 3503 for students interested in working for the paper.

The other half of the exhibit illus trates the perseverance of New York City citizens after the tragedy. Regardless of the nature of the pic tures, the fact that Corbin is a New Yorker himself strengthens the connec tion between the artist and his work. “These aren’t from some outsider, it’s someone who actually lives right on the edge of Chinatown - that’s what I pull from looking at these pictures,” Connary said. Like all New Yorkers, Corbin has an acute understanding of what happened on Sept. 11, and his photographs reflect his unique and personal connection to the city. “What really struck me was that it is about real life - about the area and the people.” The exhibit runs until the end of September.

For the Record The Aug. 30 article “UNC Recycling Program Looks for Attention” incor rectly reported that the Office ofWaste Reduction and Recycling has 15,000 recycling bins located in campus build ings. The office has 1,500 bins. The article also failed to mention that there are 105 recycling sites outside campus buildings, in addition to 15 sites along campus walkways. The article also incorrectly stated that more than 2,900 tons of material were recycled in the past year. The cor rect figure is 3,200 tons. The DaiiyTar Heel regrets the errors. Professor Wins Prize For Genetics Work By Jennifer Johnson Staff Writer The Massry Prize is a prestigious award given to many future Nobel Prize winners, but it is just the most recent of many awards one UNC professor has received. Oliver Smithies, excellence professor of pathology, just added the 2002 Massry Prize to the list of awards gar nered for his groundbreaking work with genes that affect human and animal health. Last year Smithies won the Laskar Award for Basic Medical Research, which is likened to the Nobel Prize. He also has received two Gairdner awards, the CIBA Award of the American Heart Association and the International Okamoto Award from the Japan Vascular Disease Research Foundation. Smithies pioneered gene targeting, a process that allows scientists to program in mice genetic mutations that model human diseases. A statement from the Massry Foundation states that, “The creation of these mouse models... forms the basis for rapid advances in diagnosis, treat ment and cure of human disease.” The method, called homologous recombination, has allowed researchers to model and study genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystro phy and cancer in hopes of finding a gene that causes them. The Massry Prize is given by the Meira and Shaul G. Massry Foundation of Beverly Hills, Calif., and consists of a gold medal and $40,000. Smithies is sharing the award with University of Utah researcher Mario Capecchi. Charles Jennette, chairman of the Department of Pathology and Student Leaders Invited To Discuss DTH, Coverage Staff Report The first meeting of The Daily Tar Heel Association of Student Leaders will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday in 100 (Jtjr iailtj (Jar Urrl Laboratory Medicine, said the honor is not in the actual prize but in the prestige of the award. “The monetary award is not that sig nificant,” Jennette said. “(The award) is a sign of the significance of what (Smithies) is doing.” Jennette said recognition through awards like Smithies’ has contributed to the image of UNC as a top genetic research institution. “It’s good for the University, it’s good for the medical school, and it’s very good for the (pathology) department,” he said. Officials say the researchers’ recogni tion helps draw support for UNC pro jects such as the recent addition of the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences, which focuses specifically on the emerg ing field of genetics. The center was the focus of media attention in August 2001 after receiving $245 million in public and private back ing. The center is working closely with similar centers at Duke University and N.C. State University as part of the N.C. Genomics and Bioinformatics Consortium, which aims to bring togeth er the specialties of each center. Researchers at the UNC center are concentrating on genomics sciences and medicine. Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor for research and development, said the award brings further international recognition to Smithies and elevates the status of the University by highlighting the caliber of its faculty.
