Area officials have accused businesses in downtown Chapel Hill of abandoning this type of agenda-driven consumer. “Barbershops and salons are des tination places,” Nelson said. “People aren’t just going to walk by.” At first glance, it might seem strange that so much of one service is offered in a small area character ized by high rents and constant business turnover. But based on the success of the existing shops, the demand for hair services is clearly evident in the Chapel Hill area. David Sutton of DB Sutton & Cos. agrees that each hair place offers something unique. ARREST FROM PAGE 3 with a pager “to get him to let me go" Gilmore could not be reached for comment Sunday night.

Sharon Dail, manager and owner of Aesthetics Hair Styling, which has been on Franklin Street for 36 years, said the biggest consequence of the influx of new shops has been increased price competition. Dail’s salon has the advantage of an estab lished customer base, drawing eld erly as well as student customers. Most of the private owners within the hair service communi ty seek to differentiate their busi ness from the others. The atmos phere in each shop is as uniquely different as the people it draws. “We all work in the same field, but we have our own niches.” Sutton said. “We’re all on a good community basis.” Bell’s shop will be having grand opening ceremonies all week.

Five hundred students who had anticipated living in residence halls are now residing in hotels and apartments. Relocating stu dents has cost N.C. Central more than $1 million. “The dynamic of the entire cam pus has shifted,” Brown said. Brown said the school is trying to limit the financial impact of the moldy facilities on students. “We do not want the students to be punished for something that no one had control of.” University officials have enlisted Clark Nexsen and E.I. Inc., an environmental safety consulting firm, to assess the causes and severity of the mold and to develop a plan for how to get rid of the costly mess. According to the report, a poor building design, faulty mechanical equipment installation, poor con struction and bad maintenance caused failures in ventilation, plumbing and humidity control.

In seven of the nine academic buildings, the report identified the campus’ steam system as well as faulty windows and roofs as possi ble sources of moisture, which led to water damage and mold con tamination. Former Charlotte Mayor and U.S. Senate candidate Harvey Gantt’s firm, Gantt Huberman Architects, designed the residence halls. Gantt personally signed off on all of the contracting work. One or more species of mold has been identified in the 11 buildings. The two infected residence halls, built as recently as 1999,.are affect ed by “black mold,” or Stachybotrys chartarum, which can cause skin problems, nosebleeds and flu-like symptoms. Other than the two residence halls, no other mold-infected buildings have been closed. “There hasn’t been any other buildings that have been identified as a seri ous health threat,” Saunders said. E.I. Inc. is conducting a separate environmental review of the nine buildings. A final report will be fin ished by the end of the month. Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
