Starting today, the senior class can escape its stresses by participating in the entertaining social and educational events of Senior Week that senior class officers and marshals have been plan ning for the past month. “Senior Week is a time for seniors to forget about looking for jobs, applying to grad school and the poor economy and have fun,” said Senior Class President Paymon Rouhanifard. Although past Senior Weeks primari ly consisted of informational events held in the early afternoon, this year’s senior class wanted to create an entire week of celebration, said Jon Narveson, chair man of the senior class Special Projects Committee. “We said, ‘Why not make it more than events between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and make it a whole week of spirit?’” he said. Evolving from the framework of a high school spirit week, each day this week incorporates a different activity, theme and message. “This is definitely one of the most ambitious Senior Weeks that a senior class has ever decided to take on,” Narveson said. Seniors can show their spirit by wear ing a senior T-shirt today, dressing retro Tuesday, sporting pajamas Wednesday and putting on a crazy hat Thursday. Bond Tagged for 3rd High School By Michael Davis Assistant City Editor The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education agreed Thursday to shift 2001 bond funding to the construction of a third high school. Faced with a burgeoning high school population, the district elected to move funds previously allocated for a 10th ele mentary school toward anew high school. The resolution now moves to the Orange County Board of Commissioners for approval. The school board is consid ering several sites for the new high school, which is slated to open for the 2005-06 academic year. Plans call for the school to accommodate 1,000 students while allow ing for expansion to 1,500 students. Among the possible locations for the high school are several sites off of Smith Level Road in the southern part of the district and a site near N.C. 86 and Eubanks Road, north of Chapel Hill. Board member Nick Didow said dis trict employees are preparing reports on the sites to be presented to the board in the near future. Didow said because some areas, in the southern portion of the county do not Campus Calendar Today 7:30 p.m. - Come to Union 1505 for a time of fellowship and worship with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Senior week not only will be filled with recreation but also information. The class of 2003 can learn about upcoming senior activities and the three class gift options throughout the week. “We are working to get seniors to vote on the class gift on October 30,” Albright said.

Narveson said, “Seniors should celebrate being a senior in one of the greatest universities in the country.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. have water and sewer access, the urban services boundary line might have to be shifted to accommodate the new school. One resolution passed Thursday states that if the board chooses one of the potential sites to the east of Smith Level Road, it will ask the Chapel Hill Town Council to consider shifting the line to include more properties - solely for the purposes of the district, he said. School board member Lisa Stuckey said that with a high population density and a large base of elementary-aged children in southern Orange, this region would be best for the third high school. “I would very much prefer a southern site if that’s possible,” Stuckey said. The board also agreed to work with the county commissioners to design a funding plan for the district’s fifth middle school, slated to open between 2005 and 2007, and a 10th elementary school, scheduled to open between 2006 and 2010. “We do not have funding currently lined up for that (middle) school,” Didow said. “We will work in partnership with the county commissioners for a funding plan.” Didow said the commissioners asked the school board to lay out its capital needs at the bodies’ joint meeting in speaker is Asheboro pastor Chris Thore.

But he said that plans, especially those included in the latter years of proposed capital development, are subject to change. The district also elected to convert the Lincoln Center, the administrative building, into a magnet high school to accommodate up to 500 students. Anew administrative building would be constructed across from Chapel Hill High School on Homestead Road, based on plans. Kim Hoke, spokeswoman for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools, said the Lincoln Center is a good location for a magnet facility because of its proxiniity' to UNC and other resources. “For it to be an alternative high school... seems like a logical solution,” Hoke said. She said with the district’s student population doubling since the 1980s, leaders are trying to accommodate this surge in enrollment. “It sounds like an aggressive plan to meet the needs of a growing student population.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
