Wal-Mart Supercenter
Construction Begins
Project slated to be
done by late summer
By Slum Bang '
Staff Writer
Developers of the new Wal-Mart
Supercenter in Hillsborough have been
working arduously on the project for
more than 2 1/2 years. And last week,
their hard work paid off as developers
Bill Anderson and Jerry Dickens broke
ground on the Hampton Pointe shop
ping center off N.C. 86.
The Hillsborough Town Board
approved the site
in November 2001
but has been
working on getting
approval from the
Orange County
Department of
Planning and
Inspections for the
development’s ero
sion-control mea
sures.
“Once stores, such as bookstores,
... develop next to the Super
Wal-Mart, UNC studens might
be attracted over here. ”
Joe Phelps
Mayor of Hillsborough!
The board, while considering
Hampton Pointe, insisted on several
aesthetic changes before approving a
Special Use Permit. The developers, to
satisfy the town’s demands, revised their
plan to include more sidewalks and the
breaking up of one larger building into
four small ones.
“It’s been quite a long procedure for
the developers," said Hillsborough
Mayor Joe Phelps. “But they finally got
all their plans off the ground and
going."
The Wal-Mart Supercenter will be
the first store to open in the shopping
center. It is slated to be completed by
late summer.
The site is about 10 miles from
UNC’s campus down Airport Road
(N.C. 86), and officials hope to attract

students to the new location.
The closest Wal-Mart to campus now
is located at New Hope Commons off
U.S. 15-501 and is frequented by many
students.
But officials believe that location’s
dominance could change.
“Once stores, such as bookstores,
restaurants and others, develop next to
the Super Wal-Mart, UNC students might
be attracted over here," Phelps said.
The developers hope that placing dif
ferent types of stores, such as home
improvement and department stores in
the Hampton Pointe shopping center,
will attract other customers as well.
The new Wal-Mart takes up about
185,000 acres of
the 480,000 acres
in the shopping
center, which
makes it almost
three times bigger
than the Wal-Mart
in Hillsborough
Commons off
South Churton
Street.
The new Wal-
Mart will compete not only with the
other Hillsborough Wal-Mart but also
with the new Target store slated to open
in the former South Square location in
Durham.
The Jan. 7 groundbreaking of the
new Wal-Mart Supercenter in
Hillsborough comes after years of the
town moving toward gaining more con
trol over proposed developments.
The board put a moratorium on
development on the land chosen for the
site in june 2000 and, before lifting the
moratorium four months later, strength
ened its control over developments by
requiring developers to seek both a
rezoning and a special use permit.

Congress Set to Fund Campaigns
Budget covers all 55
interested students
By Arman Tolentino
Staff Writer
Student Congress officials said
Wednesday that they are prepared to
finance student campaigns even if all 55
candidates who so far expressed interest in
running qualify for the Feb. 11 ballot.
The total campaign costs for this
year’s elections could amount to as
much as $4,820, assuming that each
prospective candidate gathers the nec
essary signatures to be placed on the bal
lot and that there are runoffs for student
body president and senior class officers.
The 2003 elections will be the first to
take into account the Larson-Daum
Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which
calls for campaigns funded entirely by
student activity fees, new spending lim
its and a shorter campaign season.

American Foreign Policy Focus of Film
Documentary centers on Henry Kissinger
By Michael Abernethy
Senior Writer
As the nation holds its breath over
conflicts in Iraq and North Korea, doc
umentarian Eugenejarecki believes that
America should question the role of
U.S. foreign policy now more than ever.
With his film “The Trials of Henry
Kissinger,” Jarecki aims to shed light on
the secretive past of the former nation
al security adviser and contemporary
U.S. policy while encouraging citizens
to voice their concerns about interna
tional affairs.
“The role of morality in foreign poli
cy is in desperate need of an American
dialogue, and we wanted to advance the
dialogue about that very subject,"
Jarecki said. “I think that Doctor
Kissinger really brings into sharp relief

for the elections, nearly double the high
est possible cost. Excess funds will be
reverted to the General Reserve, which
contains all money generated by student
activity fees.
“There is plenty of money available
to handle any situation,” said Michael
Vollmer, student body treasurer.
“Student Congress
set aside sufficient
funds for both the
regular elections
and runoffs.”
To receive cam
paign funds, candi
dates must have a
certified treasurer, a
faculty adviser and
be recognized by a
student group.
“Now everyone has to do everything
legit,” said Brian Fauver, chairman of the
Board of Elections. “It is formalizing the
whole spending aspect of campaigning,
which is good. There is more account
ability on part of the candidates."
The main difference from last year’s
those matters for public discourse.”
Jarecki’s award-winning film, which
opens Friday at the Chelsea Theater,
scrutinizes Kissinger’s involvement in
the secret bombings in Cambodia and
the murder of Chilean General Rene
Schneider.
“Doctor Kissinger has become the
poster child for the question of account
ability in international law,"Jarecki said.
“The movement against him is growing
... and its progress is very much the
progress of the quest for international jus
tice and its applicability for U.S. citizens."
But Jarecki wasn't always such a
harsh critic of Kissinger. When he was
originally hired by the British
Broadcasting Corp. to investigate inter
national charges against Kissinger.
Jarecki considered him a personal icon.
“It wasn’t the most natural thought
elections is the use of student, rather
than personal, money.
“Candidates are not allowed to spend
their own money, and if they do, there
will be penalty costs,” said Student
Congress Speaker Carey Richter.

for me to be an adversary or critic of
Doctor Kissinger,"Jarecki said. “For me,
making the film was a personal journey
because I grew up in a household in
which Doctor Kissinger was a childhood
icon. My father left Nazi Germany a
year after Doctor Kissinger, and very
much in my upbringing, Kissinger was
kind of an immigrant success story.”
But uncovering the leader’s shadowy
involvement in foreign coups and acts of
violence prompted Jarecki to remove
his rose-colored glasses. Jarecki said
coming to the project with little working
knowledge of Kissinger’s life lent the fin
ished film an audience accessibility.
“This is not a film for policy wonks
and Beltway insiders," Jarecki said.
“This is really a film for anyone con
cerned about U.S. foreign policy in its
history and the way its past haunts its
present.”
Just as the United States’ past contin
ues to impact current events, Jarecki
said his own history in fiction films
allows “The Trials of Henry Kissinger”
to be both entertaining and informative.
“I think why the film has been suc
cessful is that I’ve tried to bring to the art
of documentary making some of the apt
of fiction making,” Jarecki said. “From a
technical perspective it’s much the same
-with one you’re using ink; with the
other you're using blood.”
When Kissinger declined to be inter
viewed for the film, Jarecki called upon
creative fictional techniques to tell a
complete story. Subsequently, the film is

The money allocated to Student
Congress candidates amounts to S2O and
$lO for runoffs. Write-in candidates will
not be able to take advantage of student
funds, but they still must abide by the
spending limits listed in the Student Code.
“Just because they don’t get school
money doesn’t mean they are not sub
ject to election laws," Fauver said.
But write-in candidates involved in a
runoff election will receive reimburse
ments from Student Congress if they
turn in their financial statements.
Fauver said the Campaign Reform
Act will influence students to run, if not
this year, then definitely next year.
“The effects of the finance reform will
have a bigger effect next year because it
was a recent decision,” Fauver said.
Vollmer said he hopes that the cost-free
aspect of running will encourage more stu
dents to run. “I hope this allows people to
run who don’t have the financial capabil
ities.”

woven together by interviews of the
diplomat’s supporters and detractors,
such as New York Times columnist
William Safire and National Security
Council colleague Roger Morris,
archived footage and television news
reels.
Jarecki cited archived interviews as
especially telling pieces of Kissinger’s
personality.
“Just because he wouldn’t appear in
the film, that didn’t stop us from very
much having him participate in the film
by including interviews that he has
given over the years that powerfully and
passionately address the charges that
have been raised against him.”
The result is a film that, Jarecki
hopes, will open up audiences to new
interpretations of history and inspire
them to be more critical of their gov
ernment in a time of international tur
moil.
“The hope is that by ... reminding
people and educating them about events
in the past, you can help build the col
lective memory that leads to collective
action,” Jarecki said.
“(You can) alert and engage a knowl
edgeable citizenry that says to its gov
ernment, ‘We’re watching, and we care
about basic and generally agreed-upon
norms of human conduct even in mat
ters as complex as the interplayof states
in war.’”
