said the wording was tweaked to
explain the program’s goals better.
“We changed the wording
because there was some confusion
last year,” she said. “We want to be
as clear as possible."
Although he was unaware of the
language change, Provost Robert
Shelton echoed the sentiment, say
ing the summer reading assign
ment has never been required.
“There has never been a nega
tive effect if you didn’t read the
book or attend the discussions,” he
said. “I think the change reflects
what the case has been all along.”
But this year’s selection also deals
with an important, complex issue.
Madeleine Grumet, chairwoman of
the book selection committee for
the Carolina Summer Reading
Program and dean of the School of
Education, said the committee

and requests a high amount of
services,” he said. “But many of us
don’t want a tax increase."
After last year's tight budget and
the resulting tax increase, council
members said they have made a
common goal of not raising taxes
this year.
“Last year we were in a very
unusual situation in which the
government withheld funds for
local governments," said Pat Evans,
who has served on the Town
Council for nine terms and has not
yet decided if she will run for a
10th this year.
“Due to the fact we raised taxes
last year, we shouldn’t this year.”
A fallout from last year’s tight
budget, most town departments
have urgent funding issues that
need to be addressed this year.
Many council members believe
that the fire and police depart
ments are priorities for their
requests of more personnel and
funds for more extensive services.
Yet other departments, such as
public works, also are vying for
large budget increases.

Globalization
and the Crisis
of the Black
Bourgeoisie
in the Caribbean
Tuesday, April 15, 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Breedlove Room, 204 Perkins Library,
West Campus, Duke University
A light reception to follow.
In the English-speaking Caribbean, where the
postcolonial settlement has left whites in control of
the economy but a black bourgeoisie in charge of
the state, globalization has thrown the nationalist
agenda into deep crisis.
Dr. Donald Robotham is Professor of Anthropology
at the CUNY Graduate Center, currently working on
the issues of crime and violence among young
people in urban Jamaica.
Sponsored by the the Burning Issues Series of the Carolina-Duke
Consortium in Latin American Studies in conjunction with the
following departments at Duke University: the Center for
Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Department of
Cultural Anthropology, and the African and
African-American Studies Program.
chose the book because it deals with
national economic issues and will
be interesting to students.
“We felt it was the best choice
because it is one that would pro
voke conversation and is some
thing many, people in the
University community would be
interested in,” she said.
Jeffrey Obler, a professor of polit
ical science who has assigned his
social and political philosophy class
to read the book, said the selection
is appropriate because many stu
dents know little about the topic.
“(The book is) accessible, well
written and delightfully humor
ous,” he said. “It also deals with an
important issue that most students
are oblivious to, and that issue is
the lives of people who make $5,
$6, $7 an hour serving the middle
class of America."

Evans hopes the council will be
able to meet its goal of not increas
ing taxes with funds freed up from
other services and money set aside
from the state.
“It is easier to run for re-election
in a year we don’t raise taxes,”
Evans said.
“But if you can justify the need
to raise taxes, it probably isn’t a
problem, though some citizens
may not understand your justifica
tion."
Town Manager Cal Horton will
present the council with his budg
et recommendations the first
step of the negotiating process
at its meeting April 28.
Bill Stockard. Horton's assis
tant, said the manager's office real
izes the difficulties of budgeting
during an election year.
“The council has presented an
interest in not raising taxes, but
the question is, What are the serv
ices that the town will be able to do
without?” he said.
“That is what is difficult for the
council members to weigh each
budget's requests.”

son’s involvement in any gang activ
ity. “The only gang our son belonged
to was the football team at North
Carolina,” she said.
Carl Smalls played in only seven
games for UNC in 2002 after
transferring from South Carolina,
but his death dealt a shocking blow
to the UNC football program.
“Pretty much all of us broke
down,” Harris said of Smalls’ funer
al. “When you see someone you
spent every day with dead, and see
his family mourning, his dad up
there talking and hear his mom cry
—a lot of guys just broke down."
Lillie Smalls said that she didn’t
expect so many of her son’s team
mates to make the trip to
Charleston, S.C., for the funeral.
Coach John Bunting was not
able to attend the funeral, but went
to see the Smalls family the day
after the shooting.

numbers down in Orange County.
Established in 1983 by the N.C.
legislature, Sentencing Services
requires that offenders work to
provide restitution to victims and
society for their crimes.
Offenders must serve a period
of supervised probation, during
which they must be employed,
pay court costs and undergo ther
apy.
In Orange County, 50 to 60
offenders a year go through the
Sentencing Services program.
Kuhn said the program is far less
expensive than sending the offend
ers to jail. “It costs $26,000 a year
to send someone to prison," she
said. “One person going through
the program costs $4,000."
Cost is an important issue as
overcrowding becomes more and
more of a problem.
The number of people in U.S.
prisons and jails surpassed 2 mil
lion last year for the first time,
according to government reports.
The federal prison population
grew by 5.7 percent, while the over
all growth rate of state prisons was
just under 1 percent nationally.
Another program to keep incar
ceration numbers down is the

“We talked like friends,” Lillie
Smalls said. “Not as a coach and
parents, but as friends. For about
an hour we sat in our living room
and told stories about Carl. We felt
really good.”
Carl Smalls had been suspended
for the last two games of the season
for violating team rules. Bunting
had planned to meet with Carl
Smalls at the end of the semester to
talk about his future with the team.
“I was really looking forward to
him coming back,” Bunting said.
“And all of a sudden, bang, and
it’s over. It’s still shocking.”
The UNC football community
continues to grieve Carl Smalls’
death. A sign above an empty lock
er in the UNC locker room reads
No. 93 “Carl Smalls R.1.P.”
And as dust collects on Carl
Smalls' stool in the locker, North
Carolina players prepare for the
upcoming season while also keep
ing a close eye on developments in
the criminal proceedings sur
ceration for offenders with mental
health issues.
“(The program) is an effort to
divert certain folks from an incar
ceration path,” said public defend
er Timothy Cole.
“The court system needs more
than the traditional options (for
certain offenders).”

rounding Carl Smalls’ death.
Jeriod Price, 21, of Columbia,
surrendered to detectives on Mar.
19. Price and Ryan Brooks, 19, of
Columbia, have been charged with
murder in the death of Carl Smalls.
“It makes you feel better that
they’re in custody, but it’s still diffi
cult,” Lillie Smalls said. “It’s still
hard, and it really doesn’t make
you feel that much better.”
Lillie Smalls said she tries to
make herself feel better by remem
bering good times she had with her
son. She has left her son’s room vir
tually untouched since his death,
but she does go into his bedroom
for one daily ritual.
“Every morning I get up and
open his blinds,” she said. “It might
seem silly, but if I go out to my car,
and realize I forgot to open the
blinds, I go back inside and do it.
“There needs to be some type of
activity going on (in his room). I
don’t want it to be all dark."
In the Smalls household, there is
the program’s participants success

Participation in the program is
voluntary. Participants agree to
accept whatever treatment recom
mendation is given instead of a fine
or jail sentence.
Although many participants
would not face incarceration with

Lillie Smalls said she will soon add
to that wall Carl Smalls’ framed
North Carolina football uniform, a
memento Bunting sent to her this
winter.
As Bunting and the Tar Heels
complete spring practice and look
ahead to next season, they still
keep the memory of Carl Smalls
fresh in their minds.
At the start of the spring,
Bunting met with his junior class.
They decided to put Carl Smalls’jer
sey number, 93, on every helmet
next season.
“To put his number (on our hel
mets), that’s giving respect,”
Roberson said. “It’s to let him know,
and let his family know, he’ll never
be forgotten. He still lives with us.”
