2 Wednesday, November 20, 2002 DROUGHT From Page 1 States, said one of the worst things about the restrictions was how little time he had to prepare for them. “There was really no warning,” he said. “We had to make immediate deci sions about how to maintain plant mate rial.” Dickie Dickinson, co-owner of Dickinson Garden Center, echoed White’s concern about how little notice was given before the restrictions were in place. “The emergency situation jumped on quickly,” he said. DEAN DOME From Page 1 concert promoters has waned in recent years. Concerts were once a main source of revenue for the center, but competition with local venues has cut down on the Smith Center’s opportuni ties. “We had great concert success here in the late ’Bos and early ’9os,” Kirschner said. “It is a great building for fans to watch a concert in because you’re right on top of things.” Local venues, such as the Royal Bank of Canada Center and Alltel Pavilion at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, as well as the Greensboro Coliseum, offer concert promoters convenient highway access, a wide range of concessions and alcohol and parking revenue, Bitting said. She added that when the Smith Center was built, these locations were not viable competition but said all have been built or modernized recently. “All the promoters and acts are look ing for the best deal they can get,” Bitting said. “There are things the other arenas can offer that we can’t.” The loading and unloading areas and Internationaf Hesotirce fair Wednesday, November 20th 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Great Hall, Student Union Are you interested in study abroad opportunities?

OWA S A spokesman Greg Feller said the group did advertise for die oncoming restrictions through newspapers and radio a few days before they were enacted. “I felt there was good awareness around “We don’t know when a drought is going to begin or end, and I’d like to continue to encourage conservation. ” Greg Feller OWASA Spokesman die community,” Feller said. In the event that a business had not seen or heard any of these ads, Feller said, OWASA mailed notices to all busi nesses and did not enforce the restric tions until they had time to fall square- parking lots at the RBC Center are a main draw, said David Olsen, the cen ter’s vice president and general manag er. He said that although the Smith Center is ideal for UNC basketball games, it has not been updated to pro vide a good venue for today’s concerts. “Our building, by design, is a lot more user-friendly than the Smith Center,” Olsen said. “I don’t know when the Smith Center was opened, but now we are state-of-the-art for concerts.” Renovations such as anew practice court for the basketball team, which would free up the main arena on more dates, could increase the Smith Center’s appeal as a concert venue but might not be enough, Kirschner said. There might not be a way to attract concerts to the Smith Center in the near future because of competing venues and the center’s drawbacks, Kirschner said. The center’s last concert was an October 2000 performance by the Barenaked Ladies. “The acts that come here don’t put 20,000 people in the seats,” he said. “If they did, they would go to Raleigh.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. From Page One ly in view of the public’s eye. “There were only a couple cita tions given out by police (once) they did begin enforce ment,” Feller said. Dickie Dickinson said today’s OWASA drought forum, which will address managing future droughts and how restrictions should be enacted, will be productive. “I am confident that when we get into discussion, there will be great coopera tion because we have a very good, TOUR From Page 1 areas safe,” said Phil Mazarick of Electric Systems. “We don’t try to light everything like daylight.” Places that are wooded heavily, like the area near Kenan Stadium, are almost impossible to light, but the University also doesn’t want to take away from the feel of the campus by lighting everything, he said. “Most freshman live on South Campus, and that’s our main concern,” said Derwin Dubose, co-coordinator of the Freshman Focus Council. Dubose said that because of con struction, many students’ walking routes have changed. The construction around the Ramshead project has been extremely problematic for students try ing to get to South Campus. He said that the new route students take leads to Chase Dining Hall and that the area in question is not well-lit. “From this tour, I think they’ve done a good job,” said junior Nathan Cherry. “I think they need to ensure that they maintain the lights already in existence.” One of the most noted problematic areas on campus each tour is the area between Lenoir Dining Hall and Davis Library, which receives a high volume of night traffic. Mazarick said that ground lighting cannot be added in the area because of irrigation systems and that building lighting would be extreme n W r you see this [ BV \ B S FRIENDLY" I- Blrt^/TB in the window, I B[_ QPEf\> /■ re businesses B B ively seek and pK& _JB me the UNC \ imunity. ypport us, BBBBN l port them. \ Only 15 Days Left To Sign Up for The Experience of Lifetime! join the 2003 JET Program and discover Japan.

Feller said he feels good about the way the community handled the situa tion. “The community responded really well to cutting back water use,” he said. “One thing to keep in mind is that we don’t know when a drought is going to begin or end, and I’d like to continue to encourage conservation.” Kerwin also acknowledged that con tinued water conservation would bene fit the community. “After all, it’s a mat ter of when, not if, we will have anoth er drought.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. ly expensive because of the need to drill into the brick walls. Electric Systems manages thousands of lights, most of which are high pressure sodium lights averaging about S2O a bulb. Campus lights are on photocontrol, which means they run from dusk until dawn. “If you knew how many lights were on campus, it’d impress you,” said Bo Smith, a power line technician with Electric Systems, Smith said that University employees work to fix light ing outages as quickly as possible and that they usually have bumt-out bulbs replaced within a matter of hours. In 1996, Electric Systems put in the main lighting corridor from central cam pus to Morrison Residence Hall on South Campus and has since added thousands of lights as student complaints come in and as construction occurs. Students who see a light that is burnt out are encouraged to report it. Pole light outages can be reported by calling 962-8394. Most pole lights have a num ber located on the pole that can be extremely helpful in locating the light, and students are asked to report that number as well. Lights on buildings that are burnt out can be reported at 962- 3456. Fox said, “It’s a huge campus, and (officials) don’t know when lights are out, and if everyone participates, it’ll make it better for everyone.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. SHOOTING From Page 1 rented from Enterprise, which Thompson reportedly drove to the scene.

Both UNC officials and community leaders have met with a mediator hired by the University since the September BOT meeting, but members of die Elkin Hills area still are against the location of the proposed facilities. “We still oppose locating the facilities in Elkin Hills,” she said. “We will pre sent our reaction to the plan and medi ation suggestions at the meeting.” Elkin Hills community members first addressed the BOT concerning the issue at the September BOT meeting, where several neighborhood members raised discussion about the issue, Kearns said.

The neighborhood returned to normal Tuesday, but people in the area still were alarmed by Chapel Hill’s first murder since February 2000. Cousins said that the shooting was an isolated crime and that residents shouldn’t be worried. “These people knew each other,” she said. “This certainly was not a random incident.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. A short speech airing residents’ con cerns was read by an Elkin Hills resi dent at that meeting, but trustees gave community members little time to speak. Trustees contended that the discus sion of the facilities’ location was not on the agenda for that meeting. Trustee David Pardue, a member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, said the agenda for today’s meeting does not include any further discussion of the Campus Services Support Facilities’ location. “The location of the new facilities was already approved at a previous meet ing,” Pardue said. “The sighting of the location is not on the agenda, only the approval for the architectural design of the new facilities. “I don’t anticipate further discussion, but I would not rule it out.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. of what’s on the inside in Morrison South Residence Hall Seminar Room 171.
