Don aprons to aid Special Olympics
BY LAURA OLENIACZ
STAFF WRITER
Bill Frick laid down his badge,
threw on an apron and picked
up an armful of pitchers filled
with iced tea, water and soft
drinks Saturday at the Carolina
Brewery.
Frick, a retired investigator from
the Chapel Hill Police Department,
was a “waiter” in the brewery’s
Tip-A-Cop program, which raises
money for the Special Olympics
by having officers serve drinks and
collect their tips.
The program was started by Red
Lobster in 2002 to help the Special
Olympics through the volunteer
efforts of local cops.
As he chatted and laughed with
customers, who munched on their
fries and sandwiches, Frick said
volunteering allows him to see the
positive outcomes of his actions.
“You don’t see too many police
officers very much filling waters and
refilling iced teas, helping spread
good will,” said the brewery’s gen
eral manager, Matthew Clements.
“We’re helping together to raise
funds for a fantastic cause.”
The Tip-A-Cop program was
one of a flurry of festivities for the
Carolina Brewery’s 10th anniver
sary last week.
SBP must balance administrative role
Serves as unified voice for students
BY DON CAMPBELL
STAFF WRITER
The winner of Thesday’s runoff
election for student body president
will have to wear “two hats” as soon
as he steps into his new role.
Besides being the voice of the
student body, an effective president
must be aware of the other admin
istrative aspects of the University,
said Richard “Stick” Williams,
chairman of the Board of Trustees.
“We’ve had five different (stu
dent body presidents) during the
time that I’ve been on the board,
and several, I think, have been very,
very effective,” Williams said, not
ing the accomplishments of former
student body presidents.
He praised Student Body
President Matt Calabria and his
predecessors, Matt Tepper and Jen
News
“One of our goals for the week
was to give back to the community,”
owner Robert Poitras said, adding
that he has benefitted from being
a part of the Chapel Hill business
community.
Poitras is a member of the
Chapel Hill Police Department’s
local board, which spearheads the
Law Enforcement Torch Run for
the Special Olympics program.
The group raises money for the
organization through the Tip-A-
Cop program, raffles for Duke and
UNC basketball tickets and golf
tournaments.
Tip-A-Cop collected more than
S6OO Saturday, and the raffle made
about SSOO. All the funds will go to
the Special Olympics.
The brewery also supports other
local charities, such as the UNC
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer
Center and Project Graduation.
But Clements said the Special
Olympics, which provides year
round sports competition and
training for more than 37,000
athletes, is a particularly good
cause.
“It’s amazing what it brings out
in athletes. It gives them a goal and
helps with development in human
beings,” Clements said. “It’s amaz
ing how happy they are when they
Daum, for their ability to focus on
more than student issues and to
understand the intricacies of the
University.
“In addition to representing the
student voice, it should be some
body who is going to take the time
to really study the issues that affect
the University ... somebody that
really gets in there and does their
homework and understands their
issues,” Williams said.
TVustee Roger Perry maintained
that being a consensus-builder for
the student body should still be the
president’s focus.
“We understand the constituency
he (or she) represents is perhaps the
most important of all,” Perry said.
“The student body president gives us
the pulse beat of the University. He

cross that finish line.”
Dani Kinert, a golf champion in
the Special Olympics and a global
messenger and volunteer for the
organization, attended the volun
teer event Saturday.
She said that fund-raisers and
athletic opportunities like the
Special Olympics have given her
great memories.
She remembered almost hitting
a hole-in-one during a Torch Run
Golf Tournament when her golf

issues, trends and experiences.”
Board member Jean Kitchin
also said that as the voice of the
students, the student body presi
dent offers a perspective integral
to the Board of Ttustees. “We give
the student body president’s opin
ion a lot of weight,” she said.
The candidates in Tuesdays stu
dent body president runoff, Seke
Ballard and Seth Dearmin, haven’t
regularly attended trustee meet
ings, and both were absent dur
ing the last meeting when trustees
passed a tuition proposal.
Several trustees said they aren’t
familiar with either of the hope
fuls, though the candidates’ plat
forms state that they want to work
closely with the board.
Calabria said earning the trust
of the Board of Trustees was at the
crux of his presidency.
“The trust and respect of the
Board of Trustees is something
continually earned over time,” he
said. “Not only do they have to
trust the person, but from day one,
you have to make sure your ideas
are sound and carefully thought
out. It’s more important that they
trust the message.”
Drawing from her experiences,
Daum echoed this ideal.
“It was an ongoing goal to earn
complete trust and the board’s
respect,” she said. “But any student

“I was saying ‘go in, go in,’” she
remembered.
As an athlete and a volunteer,
she said she can experience and
contribute to the benefits of the

the understanding that the Board
of Trustees has the school’s best
interest at heart will do fine.”
Past student body presidents
said the transformation from
student to administrator can be
intimidating, but Perry down
played the difficulty of the transi
tion onto the board.
“We were all clueless when we
first got here,” he said. “There’s
a learning process for all of the
trustees.”
Calabria said that after he
gained acceptance with the board,
trustees were receptive to what he
brought to the table.
“Our ideas were definitely well
received,” he said. “At no point did
I feel that nobody was listening.”
Calabria said he felt confident
that this year’s candidates would
work effectively with the board.
“I trust that (Ballard and
Dearmin) are very qualified,” he
said. “Both have talked to me with
their ideas, and I’m confident
either would do fine.”
Kitchin shared Calabria’s faith.
“I’m sure the next student body
president will be great,” she said.
“They have always been in the
past. It continues to reaffirm the
respect and admiration I have for
young people today.”
