cemetery’s creation,” he said. “It is
heartbreaking walking through
there.”
The unmarked and vandalized
gravestones in the black section of
the cemetery sharply contrast with
the gates and huge headstones of
the white part, Chapman said. He
suggested that the funds be equally
distributed between the black side
and the white side of the cemetery.
Wiggins said she agreed, adding
how important additional funding
would be to restore the markers.

The Carolina Wireless Initiative,
a campus cell phone plan, has seen
a constant increase in demand,
even since the beginning of this
semester.
Steve Harward, director of tele
communications, reports that stu

777 minutes a month from 7 a.m.
to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday,
not including night and weekend
or mobile-to-mobile minutes.
Students might be spending
more time on the phone, but it
doesn’t seems to be affecting their

The U.S. Air Force now only has
between 600 to 800 N.C. troops
overseas. It operates differently
than other military branches
when it comes to deployments by
sending individuals rather than
units.
If Air Force units need plumb
ers or electricians, then individuals
will be dispatched, said Ed Drohan,
Pope Air Base spokesman.
“A lot of our people deploy as
individuals,” he said. “They don’t
necessarily deploy as an entire unit.
We’re different from the Army.”
The N.C. National Guard
deployed about 7,000 part-time
soldiers last year at this time, said
Sgt. Marcus Spade, a National
Guard spokesman.
This year, the guard has 4,627 in
posts overseas.
Although members have been
deployed since February, Spade
said, they should adapt well dur
ing the holidays because they have
been together so long.
And its biggest group of soldiers,
the 30th Heavy Separate Brigade,
will be stateside by next month. The
group did suffer five casualties since
being deployed in February to Iraq.

than stricter guidelines.
But some committee members
said that by just including “prin
ciples” in the RFP, they could
encourage more creative and
unique designs from developers.
“It seems like we’re at the heart
of where you get cookie-cutter
designs, and we’re trying to run
from that,” Strom said. “If we have
that, we won’t build the project.”
Planning Director Roger Waldon
said the principles also allow the
committee to express what it would
like to see from developers, while
still encouraging creativity.
“This generally does reflect what
we look for,” Waldon said.
“It doesn’t give too much weight,
but it gives an idea of what we look
for.”
Stainback warned that being less
specific could prompt developers to
propose designs that are creative
but that don’t match the town’s
financial plan for the project.
“You can’t give architects too
much direction,” he said. “The
more room you give them, the
more room they’ll take.”
The project includes the re
development of lot 2, behind
Spanky’s restaurant, and lot 5,
across from University Square, into
mixed-use developments.
Preliminary plans also include
the replacement of the RBC
Centura bank on Rosemary Street
with a parking deck, a three-level
expansion to the Wallace Deck
and the construction of a transit
transfer center beneath lot 2.

said the council would be making a
mistake by filing on money without
having a plan on what to do with it
Wiggins said it was unfair that
the council did not debate funding
for other projects the same way
that it did the proposal for restor
ing the slave markers.
The council voted to hold the
$50,000 for Wiggins’ amendment
until the town’s Historic District
Commission could suggest a plan
for implementing the funds.

Students will complain about

much work they are actually doing,
Aldrich said.
He suggests that students only
think their workloads are difficult
because they didn’t have to work

Council makes zoning choice
Talks on OT4 to include ‘ dialogue ’
BY KATIE LEWIS
STAFF WRITER
The town manager presented
seven different options Monday for
holding meetings to discuss pro
posed changes to the University’s
special zoning district.
The Office/Institutional-4 zon
ing district was created in 2001 for
construction of projects on large
tracts of land on the University
campus and related sites.
Under current standards, the
University can submit develop
ment plans to the Town Council,
which then has 90 days to review
and approve or deny those plans.
But the council has been consid
ering eight potential changes that
would require more legwork from
the University.
The manager suggested and the
council agreed to approve using
option seven, a public dialogue
meeting, to communicate with the
University and the public.
The manager presented the
council with a language amend
ment for option seven that was
modified and passed.
“We engaged in the process of
developing 01-4 zoning, and we are
involved in developing a process to
change 01-4 zoning,” Mayor Kevin
Foy said. “I think that it is a gesture
of good faith to the University when
the town engages in processes and
does so with the University.”
University representatives in
attendance said they were encour
aged by the spirit of cooperation
they think a public dialogue on the
changes will promote.
“In preparation for tonight’s
meeting, the mayor and chancel
lor met, and the chancellor sent
the mayor a letter,” said Linda
Convissor, director of local relations
at UNC. “The University is happy
to partake in public dialogue, and
all the options are similar.”
The council also asked the man
ager to help find a site for the pub
lic meeting so that the atmosphere
would foster discussion and televis
ing the meeting would be possible.
“Option seven seems very for
mal. The focus is on dialogue,”
said council member Mark
Kleinschmidt. “I don’t want to
separate the University and town
officials from the people. We don’t
want the meetings to be too formal.
We want to promote dialogue.”
The Southern Human Services
Center on Homestead Drive and
the Friday Center were identified
as potential sites for the meeting.
Eight separate changes to the
01-4 zoning district were recom
mended by the town manager and
planning board Oct. 18.
Both the manager and plan
ning board recommended that
the University be required to

a development plan application,
that the council’s time to review
perimeter transition areas be
increased and that a system of
quarterly meetings with the
University be established for dis
cussions of future development.
The council wanted the
University’s input before voting
on any of the changes.
At its Nov. 22 meeting, the coun
cil rejected a proposal that would
have formed a committee of three
council members to discuss changes
with University representatives.
The manager was instructed to
develop alternatives for discussing
the changes. Three of the options
proposed Monday included public

meetings to allow the community
to voice relevant concerns to town
and University officials.
Three options included discus
sions between town and University
officials and other members repre
sentative of the community.
Another option proposed was to
use a professional facilitator, simi
lar to the process that occurred in
the renaming of Airport Road.
Option seven includes the public
dialogue for members of the com
munity to air concerns to officials
of both the town and University
followed by council action at a
subsequent meeting.
