The next ticket distribution is Jan. 15 and will be for the Miami, Clemson Language enthusiasts meet, chat, conquer Seek to strengthen their spoken Latin By MARY GRACE MILLER Sf'FF WRITER For two years, George Morgan, the sales manager at the Bull’s Head Bookshop, has met friends for dinner every other Thursday to talk about politics, books, movies and philosophy in a language most people say has been dead for centuries. Scholars and clergymen have kept Latin alive on the written page well after the fall of the Roman Empire. But Morgan’s group, which focuses on the spoken language, keeps the oral tradition alive. “All other languages have classes and meetings in their language, and we wanted to also,” Morgan said. The group has about five regular members mostly UNC students and faculty who meet at local restaurants. Students from Duke University also occasionally attend the dinner. The only rule is that each mem ber cannot speak English upon entering the restaurant. The group began when Patrick Miller, a graduate student at UNC who teaches Latin, sent an e-mail to his friends interested in the clas sics. He encouraged students in his classes to come as well. He said he is interested in all aspects of Latin, not just the parts Top News 1, 1997, will appear Tuesday in Orange County Superior Court on one count of second-degree mur der and other recent charges. Dalzell, reported to be the last per son seen with Key, was arrested Sept 9 after Carrboro police searched his Royal Park apartment Sept 2. It was a report of larceny by an employee against Dalzell that led police to search his apartment. The evidence seized proved suf ficient to arrest Dalzell and charge HARK THE SOUND and Virginia games. To receive tickets, stu dents must pick up a bracelet from Gate 5 of Kenan Stadium.

Miller said Latin is abundant in all aspects of popular culture and media the language appears in film, politics and books about eti quette and computer terms. Many popular books have been translated into Latin, includ ing “The Little Prince,” the Harry Potter series and many Dr. Seuss books, Miller said. Miller and his wife, Sarah Miller, a graduate student teaching com parative literature, extended their passion for Latin to their honey moon, which was a Latin immer sion program in Rome under the instruction of Father Reginaldus Foster. “The Latin immersion program had 70 people and had to turn peo ple away,” said Patrick Miller. “The spoken language is really popular in Europe.” The Millers attend the group dinner regularly and enjoy the chance to practice their Latin skills. “The dinner idea appeals to me because I’m not currently taking or teaching Latin, and it’s nice to con- SEE LATIN, PAGE 5 him in Key’s disappearance. He is also set to appear Tuesday in connection with three felony charges filed before and after the search: obtaining property by false pretenses, financial identity fraud and larceny by an employee.

The six counts of the felony charge were also filed based on evidence seized from Dalzell’s apartment, said Corp. Anthony DTH/IAURA MORTON Meters might face overhaul Council to weigh results of survey BY GREGG FOUND STAFF WRITER Residents of Chapel Hill used to parking downtown might need to clear space in their wallets, as the town is developing a plan to use prepaid cards at downtown park ing meters. The Department of Parking Services will present the results of its survey, which drew 339 respon dents, on the use of prepaid cards at downtown meters to die Chapel Hill Town Council on Dec. 6. If the Town Council approves the proposal, paying for a parking spot could be as easy as swiping a card. “The cards would remove some of the obstacles and inconvenienc es for people to be downtown,” said council member Bill Strom. Strom said that he was impressed with the convenience that the cards offered in other places such as Salt Lake City and that he wanted to bring the technology to Chapel Hill. Under the proposal, existing meters would be modified slightly to allow for cards as payment. For those who don’t purchase cards but still want to park, the meters still will accept coins. Strom said the cost to modify the meters will be about $25 per meter, adding that the cards could also be used as a promotional item for downtown retailers. “They could be a terrific market- MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2004 s Suspect Andrew Dalzell is charged in the 1997 death of Deborah Leigh Key.

The committee had planned to present each proposal for discussion as an amendment to the current arrangement during full Congress’ last meeting of the semester. Members ultimately decided that it would be best to address redistrict ing with more members present. “I love useless banter as much as anyone else, but now’s not the time,” said Ethics Committee Chairman Parker Wiseman. After reaching quorum, mem bers voted to approve the current redistricting plan which the Student Code requires to be evalu Ambiguity defines secretary position Spellings’work xmth higher ed murky BY INDIA AUTRY STAFF WRITER After a four-year education agenda centered on the K-12 No Child Left Behind Act, analysts say new U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings’ involvement with higher education is uncertain. As President Bush’s chief domes tic policy adviser during his first term, Spellings had a major hand in crafting and carrying out the landmark education act. She likely will mirror her prede cessor, Rod Paige, in her support of the No Child Left Behind Act, said Paul Hassen, assistant director for public affairs at the American Council on Education. “It’s clearly the hallmark of the Bush administration education policy to this point.” 9Etk 1 pM ii| ini fjQplllli DTH/LAURA MORTON The Chapel Hill Town Council will hear on Dec. 6 the results of a survey on the potential use of prepaid cards at downtown parking meters. ing tool,” he said. Under the proposal, citizens would pay for the card itself and then choose the amount of money they want to use for parking to put on the card. But the charge for the card itself might be higher than many citizens might prefer because only a few cards would be ordered at first. “If this was New York City, we’d order more, but we’re not in New York City,” said Chapel Hill Finance Director Kay Johnson. Johnson said she was unsure whether implementing the cards would affect the about $240,000 in annual revenue the town gets from meters. She said the plan is more about convenience than night of her disappearance, accord ing to a search warrant affidavit. Her car was found unmoved, with a door unlocked and her purse in the front seat. Officials from Carrboro police and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation approached Dalzell four months later.

The Rules and Judiciary Committee is set to present redis tricting proposals to full Congress again next semester. During its meeting earlier last week, the committee devised a system of filling Congress seats reserved for graduate and profes sional students. Graduate and professional stu dents currently represent 39 per cent of the student population, but year after year their Congress seats remain empty. Instead of requiring graduate and professional students to rep resent each school separately, the committee proposed pooling all of the seats together and allowing representatives from any of the schools to represent all graduate students at the University.

Town parking officials say it is still uncertain where the cards will be sold, but most said the cards should be spread around. “The more places that are avail able to purchase the cards, the more likely they will be used,” said Kevin Creech, assistant superintendent at the Wallace parking deck. But if the cards are implemented, most agree they will have positive effects on downtown and its per ception of being tight on parking. “Instead of fumbling around for quarters, you would just need a card,” Strom said.
