Chisholm, 52, chef, artist
BY KATHRYN BALES
STAFF WRITER
Orlando Chisholm, beloved
Lenoir Dining Hall chef, artist and
friend, died Jan. 15 from a blood
clot in his main artery. He was 52.
Chisholm, the son of Leroy
and Dorothy Floyd, grew up in
Greensboro and began working at
UNCII years ago.
Co-workers said Chisholm was
known as “Old Dog” at Lenoir.
Whenever things were getting
hectic, he would say “The old dog
is here!” and bark a few times to
let co-workers know he had every
thing under control.
Co-worker Jennifer Henderson
said Chisholm was an integral part
of the workplace environment.
“He was a cook, but he did every
thing. If you needed help, he could
help you do other things, too,” she
said.
“He was an institution around
here, and it’s really weird not see
ing him. They are going to have a
hard time replacing him.”
Chisholm was a hard-working
employee, said Ira Simon, direc
tor of food and vending services
on campus.

sixty years. It has been said that their music provides
a QpVlUuCttVXMwUian into the soul music tradition.
Lenoir chef
Orlando
Chisholm,
nicknamed
"Old Dog," died-
Jan. 15 from a
blood clot.
“We’re saddened by the loss.
He was a long-term employee,” he
said.
“He was a very dependable,
hard-working, personable gentle
man.”
Asa testament to his impact
at the University’s food services,
Chisholm’s recipes for fried chicken
and pulled pork barbecue will be
referred to as “Orlando’s” on menus,
said Crystal Devine, Chisholm’s
girlfriend and co-worker.
Devine said Chisholm was the
kind of man who would do any
thing for those he loved.
“He’d give you the shirt off his
back,” she said.
“He got a lot of people who work
here now their jobs and helped a
lot of them keep them.”
Rudy Walker, longtime friend
and co-worker, described Chisholm
of dean of the School of Dentistry
on May 31 after spearheading
efforts at UL’s dental school since
1999.
He has experience in both pri
vate and public dental practice and
serves as chairman of site review
teams for the American Dental
Association’s Commission on
Dental Accreditation.
On Jan. 1, Dr. John Stamm
retired after 15 years at the
school.
Dr. Ken May, interim dean and
associate dean for administration
and planning, said he is confident
about Williams’ approval.
“I think the faculty have been

“We’re elected to represent a

Capps said. “So this means that the
representatives in these 20 dis
tricts have no voice.”
He said that if any split occurs

“He was a brother, father and
friend, and we’re all going to miss
him,” he said.
“If you were going through
something, he’d know how to put
a smile on your face.”
Devine echoed Walker’s senti
ment. “When you met him, it was
like you knew him; he wasn’t a
stranger to anybody,” she said. “He
didn’t have an enemy in the world;
everybody liked him.”
His mother, Dorothy Floyd, said
her son served in the Aurmy for four
years and will be remembered as an
all-around strong character.
“He was my first child, and
growing up he was a real nice guy,”
she said.
Several friends, family members
and co-workers attended a memo
rial in Chisholm’s hometown last
week, braving the winter storm to
come from Chapel Hill.
Chisholm is survived by his son,
Orlando Chisholm Jr., parents
Leroy and Dorothy Floyd, three
brothers and two sisters.

mesh well with the students and
faculty.”
Williams said he is honored to
move to a school that has a tradi
tion of academic excellence and
scholarship.
“I am very student-oriented,” he
said.
“I would like to have the oppor
tunity to work with students and
help them become role models for

in the Republican Party, it will
be the fault of those who pushed
through a power-sharing arrange
ment not the 20 representatives
who were opposed to it.
Rep. Larry Brown, R-Forsyth,
said that though he took issue
with the voting process, he won’t
take sides in a split. “I’m going to
represent my people, and those
are the only people I’m obligated
to.”
Wednesday’s procedure was
different from years past, but law
makers usually have votes lined up
before opening day, said Orange
County Rep. Joe Hackney.
“We had a vote,” said the House
majority leader. “What’s more
democratic than a vote?”
Rep. Carolyn Justice, R-
Pender, said Republican law
makers were working with what
they had. By voting for the deal,

when he attended the University.
Kleinschmidt said past student
body presidents have viewed town
gown relations differently.
“We’ve seen in the past a num
ber of student body presidents
who have made that a primary
objective,” he said.
When asked what the most
important town issues are for stu
dents, the candidates were split.
Ballard and Jensen said the
development plans for Carolina
North UNC’s proposed satellite
campus is the most critical issue.
The creation of a single vot
ing district for on-campus voters
topped the list for both Blackwell
and Dearmin.
Council member Bill Strom said
some student leaders have not
been as responsive as others.
“I’ve seen student body presi
dents come in only during times
of crisis and read a prepared state
ment,” he said.

member Sally Greene this year

thing about tuition.”
Student Body President Matt
Calabria attempted to delay the vote
on the SIOO athletic fee increase for
2006-07 until meetings next year.
“This is something we want to get
behind,” he said. “All I am asking is
for us to take some time.”
John Ellison, the only trustee
besides Calabria to vote against
the fee increase, said he would sup
port such an increase only if it were
deducted from proposed tuition
increases. “Up until now, in the
history of this University, we have
not asked students to subsidize the
athletic program,” he said. “We are
crossing a line now.”
But board members said the
needs of the University were more
the GOP was giving itself shared
power, something it otherwise
wouldn’t have.
“I think you would have to be
pretty dumb to turn down that
opportunity,” said Justice, who
voted for the resolution.
She said potential divisions
won’t hurt the Republican agen
da because the dissenting leg
islators don’t represent the true
Republican voice.
“What we have to come down
to as legislators is this: Do we
want to say, ‘lf it doesn’t go my
way I’m not going to play,’ or do
I need to participate in a process
that will allow me to do good
things for my district? Or do I

have endorsed Jensen, citing his
involvement in town issues as one
of the reasons for their support.
Greene said her work with
Jensen on the Special Committee to
Consider Renaming Airport Road
was a factor in her endorsement.
“He understands the role the
student body president can play in
providing a clear voice for students
in this community,” Strom said.
Regardless of their own involve
ment in town-gown relations,
candidates stressed that students
should be involved in local affairs.
Dearmin’s platform advocates
the creation of special one-year
terms for students to serve on
town advisory boards.
He said he hopes a smaller time
commitment would make service
enticing to more students.
At one point, Ballard also includ
ed a desire to appoint a student to
every town advisory board.
The issue of student participation
on town boards is not anew one.
In November 2003, then-Student
Body Secretary Frances Ferris peti
tioned council members to create a
permanent position for a student
pressing, “We either have to stop
raising tuition or address this
problem,” Carter said. “This is the
best idea I’ve heard in four years,
and we can debate it to the end of
the earth, but it works.”
On the advice of Chancellor
James Moeser, the board approved
the proposal but deducted the fee
hikes from tuition increases to avoid
doubly burdening students.
The SSO athletic fee increase is
tacked onto the $64.50 fee increase
that passed through both student
fee committees last semester. The
$114.50 total increase, up 9-2 per
cent, would bring the total cost of
fees for 2005-06 to $1,353.50.
On top of lobbying for more time
to examine the fee hike, Calabria
again tried to sway the board to
reduce the out-of-state tuition
increase proposal to SBOO. But trust

and Henderson streets that repaired

Eyre offered as an example.
“In the late ’2os and early ’3os,
you could see aircrafts wheeled in
without wings,” Eyre said. “That
was one of the interesting spec
tacles.”
The Horace Williams Airport
was only the second airport for
mally opened in North Carolina.
“After World War 11, there was
a great burst of interest in aviation
in general,” Eyre said. “The airport
grew out of that interest.”
By the end of the war, it was the
largest university-owned airport in
the country, he said.
“After World War 11, it was by
itself in the countryside,” Eyre said.
“In the ’6os and ’7os, the town
grew up around it.”
But recently, the future of the
airport has been the subject of
town and University debate.
The Chapel Hill Town Council
voted in December to change the
name of Airport Road to Martin

representative on every advisory
board that directly affects students.
But many board members did
not support the change.
Despite that, Jensen said he will
use his experience to advocate for
student interests. “I won’t go into
Town Council as a stranger.”
Ballard, Blackwell and Dearmin
all pointed to the fact that students
make up almost half of the town’s
total population as a reason why
they should be involved.
Carrboro Alderman Mark
Chilton, the only University stu
dent to be elected to the council
as a student, said student leaders
must keep in mind that council
members must balance the needs
of all the town’s citizens.
“There needs to be some realistic
recognition of the needs of the rest
of the town’s citizens,” he said.
Blackwell said students should
realize their potential power over
current town-gown issues.
“We can have a huge influence
if we just speak up.”

ees almost unanimously approved
the hikes that boost undergraduate
resident tuition to $3,405 and non
resident tuition to $17,253.
If the UNC-system Board of
Governors and the legislature
approve the University’s request, the
University would gain about $7.4
million. After 40 percent of the rev
enue is set aside for need-based and
graduate student aid, about $4.4
million would be left for priorities
related to faculty retention.
The proposals await approval
by the BOG, whose members
have said they might veto in-state
tuition increases for any system
schools. But University officials
continue to call campus-based
hikes a necessity.

Luther King Jr. Boulevard follow
ing almost eleven months of discus
sion.
Many of the arguments against
renaming the road cited the his
tory of the airport as a primary
reason.
Eyre said that while he was
against the name change, he thinks
the council reached a satisfactory
solution by calling for separate
road signs to recognize the thor
oughfare as “Historic Airport
Road.”
The airport also has stalled the
University’s plans for Carolina
North, its research-oriented satel
lite campus.
The General Assembly passed a
resolution to keep the airport open
until the N,C. Area Health Education
Center program, which uses the air
port to fly physicians and patients
across the state, is relocated.
“The airport is important in
terms of its original construction,
and it’s a great asset to the people
of the state,” Eyre said.
