Spirits fly at Halloween bash
BY CAROLINE KORNEGAY
STAFF WRITER
Cats walked around cowboys, a
Roman soldier danced with an
angel and a bedsheet ghost did the
Electric Slide with a 1950s teeny
bopper.
No, it wasn’t a Halloween on
Franklin Street.
Carmichael Ballroom was filled
with devils, princesses and police
officers Sunday afternoon for a
Halloween costume party for the
Arc of Orange and Durham coun
ties, a group of developmentally
challenged individuals and the vol
unteers who work with them.
Attendance at the party, hosted
by Carolina Campus Civitan, was
closer to 75 volunteers and partic
ipants than Franklin Street’s esti
mated 78,000 revelers, but every
one still was partying hard.
“There’s no barriers,” said soph
omore Kim Robertson, a volunteer
with Campus Civitan. “You don’t
see that (in) many places.
Everybody's just letting loose.”
About 35 members of the Arc, a
community’ organization that pro
vides home respite care, attended

Ellen Johnson, development

Symposium highlights
unique student research
Triangle schools
share pursuits
BY DANIEL MALLOY
STAFF WRITER
Rivalries took a back seat to
scholarly pursuits Saturday as stu
dents at area universities gathered
to share their research in the sci
ences, humanities and engineering.
Twenty-two UNC-Chapel Hill
students joined another 64 stu
dents from Duke and N.C. State
universities and other local colleges
in presenting their work at the
inaugural Triangle Undergraduate
Research Symposium.
The symposium, hosted at Duke,
was the brain child of Duke junior
Emily Heikamp. She attended a
similar event in Maryland and
decided that there was a need for it
in the Triangle.
UNC sophomore Franklin
Horn, a member of the sympo
sium’s student steering committee,
said the purpose of the event was
to encourage students from rival
universities to work together.
“Intellectual work doesn’t depend
on how good your football team is
or your basketball team is,” he said.
“It depends on cooperation.”
Some students presented their
projects with a 15-minute speech,
while others used visual aids in an
open auditorium and answered

questions from visitors.
Funding for the symposium
came through grants from the
Robertson Scholars Program and
Duke’s Undergraduate Research
Support Office, Horn said.
He called the event a “big pot of
stew,” referring to the mix of uni
versities participating as well as
the different types of research.
Another purpose of the sympo
sium, according to its mission
statement, was to encourage more
undergraduate research, but Some
participants said the event needs
to have a higher profile before that
can happen.
UNC senior Christopher
Fuhrmann, a geography major,
showed his chronological assess
ment of the 2002 ice storm to
smaller crowds than he had hoped.
“It is a great opportunity for stu
dents to show how much they
know about their topics," he said.
“But organizers need to do a better
job of getting the word out.”
Senior Pailin Wedel, a biology
major, agreed with Fuhrmann's

assessment, noting that only about
100 people attended the event and
that attendees were primarily other
student presenters or professors.
“To encourage more students to
do research you have to get more
nonresearch students out to the
event,” she said.
For her research, Wedel traveled
to Thailand to study the character
istics of the poached population of
the Aquilaria crassna tree.
Fuhrmann said some of the pre
sentations were geared toward
highly specialized fields that could
be difficult for the average person
to understand.
“Some people’s posters confused
the heck out of people,” he said.
Despite the low turnout, Wedel
said she enjoyed the opportunity to
share her work with others.
“I was eager to be in an environ
ment where people were interest
ed in my research and actually
knew what I was talking about.”
