The CDC is organizing a pro gram that could develop a vaccine for the SARS virus before there is a second outbreak, he said. “A big difference between my period as director versus now is how readily we can do DNA sequencing of viruses,” Roper said. “It was just beginning when I was director. Now there was a race around the world to see who could sequence the virus first.” Sequencing a virus is the first step in finding a test —and ulti mately, a cure for a disease. CDC officials announced April 14 that they had sequenced the genome of the SARS virus, which is nearly identical to one determined by a Canadian laboratory the previous APPLE CHILL FROM PAGE 3 cruising and loitering are prevalent after the main event.

Roper said technological changes during the past decade have aided the role of the CDC in disease prevention and treatment. “We have a much-enhanced sys tem for communication of surveil lance information. We have a much better ability to transmit information so we can track and understand these problems.” Roper said that SARS has acted as a wake-up call for the world and that whatever technological advances occur, diseases always will be a problem. “SARS means that we are once again reminded that diseases are a very current problem in modem society. We need to be careful that we do everything we can to devel op a vaccine. This has the potential to be a very big problem.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. hoods become a parking lot.” Terry said one or two fights usu ally break out during the commo tion after Apple Chill.

From Page Three MORTON FROM PAGE 3 World War II combat newsreel photographer in the Army and took pictures of Gen. Douglas MacArthur as well as participated in actual combat in the Pacific. His service to the country earned him a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. After returning home from the war in 1945, Morton met his sister’s college roommate, Julia Taylor, and married her in the same year. The couple lived in Wilmington, where Morton worked as a real estate agent for several years. Morton’s focus shifted to nature in the early 1950s when the divi sion of family land left him the owner of Grandfather Mountain. He used his real estate skills to revitalize the mountain by devel oping the Grandfather Mountain Golf and Country Club and mak ing the mountain into the travel attraction it is today.

Mike Williams, the interim superintendent, held the vacant position as board members strug gled through the two volatile searches. The first search, which restarted last December, failed because of disagreements among board mem bers. The second search, which cost an additional $250, began in SPARTACUS Restaurant of Durham Steaks, Seafood, Pasta & IVluch IVIore!

Morton, who said he especially enjoys taking pictures of N.C. wildlife, is always happy to give his pictures to various wildlife organi zations to promote the state. He has photos in brochures and on billboards across North Carolina. Former UNC men’s basketball coach Dean Smith first met Morton in 1955 when Morton began taking pictures at basketball games. Smith said he now considers Morton a “close friend” and visits him in the mountains about once a year. “He’s quite a hero in this state,” Smith said. “You call him up and ask him to do something, and he’ll get right on it.” When Smith was composing his book, “A Coach’s Life: My 40 Years in College Basketball,” he came to Morton for pictures. Though more than half the pic tures in Smith’s book are Morton’s, Morton modestly credits this to January and had major problems as well. Board members came back together in a final, concrete effort and decided to select between two candidates, Carraway and Kathi Gibson, associate superintendent for Cumberland County Schools. Carraway, the survivor of the strenuous process, is looking for ward anxiously to her new place in Orange County. She said, “I’ll be there just as soon as I can.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. age rather than skill. “When you’re 100 years old,” Morton joked, “you have pictures that go back awhile.” Morton said he is “delighted” to have his friend Roy Williams back at UNC. “When they were trying to get Roy to come, I wanted to call him up and convince him, but I knew that Dean was doing the work for me,” Morton said. Morton always has been one to open his doors to friends. Morton housed Charles Kuralt in his cabin on Grandfather Mountain for nearly a month while Kuralt worked on his book “Charles Kuralt’s America.” The book fea tures Grandfather Mountain as one of Kuralt’s favorite places. Morton’s generosity to the University earned him a spot in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication’s Public Relations Hall of Fame in 1990. Smith noted Morton’s commit ment to the University. “He’s very loyal to UNC and a very helpful person,” Smith said. When UNC Press approached Morton about putting together a book of his pictures, Morton tried to turn down the offer, worried that people wouldn’t respond to a combination of basketball and nature. After some convincing on UNC system President Emeritus Bill Friday’s part, Morton agreed. The book, appropriately named “Sixty Years of Photography in North REBUILDING FROM PAGE 3 cess of the government or the out come of the first elections,” he said. Rubenstein said the United Nations is the only agency with the necessary legitimacy to rebuild Iraq. If the United States and Britain monopolize the rebuilding process, Iraq’s government will not be con sidered legitimate, he said. “Iraqis need to decide their government for it to be legitimate,” Rubenstein said. The rebuilding process in Iraq also could affect U.S. relations with countries around the world, espe cially European allies.

Graham pitching horseshoes in 1939 up to the pres ent day,” Morton said. UNC Press Editor Dave Perry said he felt privileged to work with Morton on the book. “He can take a picture of any thing, from an endangered wild flower to a shot of a Vince Carter jam, and it will be great,” Perry said. Though not as agile as he once was, Morton continues to attend all men’s basketball games as a photographer for the Asheville Citizen-Times. His daughter, Catherine Morton, is the advertising manager of Grandfather Mountain and described her father as a “visionary” when trying to envision photos. “When he gets a picture in his mind, he is very single-minded,” she said. “He keeps moving toward his vision to make it a reality.” And Morton said he has no plans to retire anytime soon. “I’m going to keep the momen tum going as long as I can,” he said. A self-admitted “poor speaker,” Morton said he can express him self better with photography. “A picture, when executed cor rectly, speaks volumes.” Contact the Features Editor atfeatures@unc.edu. could dissolve Western alliances, Rubenstein said. European countries and the rest of the world are eager to restore relationships with the United States and Great Britain, Maksoud said. They want to participate in the reconstruction regardless of their stances on the war. Henry Teune, a professor of political science at the Middle East Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said it is still too early to tell whether the United States will allow the United Nations to participate in reconstruction.
