Carrboro set
to re-examine
open spaces
BY EREN TATARAGASI
STAFF WRITER
Members of the community will
get at least two chances to sound
off on the future of Carrboro’s parks
and open spaces.
The town wants to review its
11-year-old Recreation and Parks
Master Plan. In doing so, it will hold
at least two open-house sessions
one Saturday at the Century Center
and one Wednesday at Town Hall.
“I think it’s like anything else;
at some point, there needs to be a
time where you sit and re-evaluate,”
said Recreation and Parks Director
Anita Jones-McNair.
McNair said plans covering
things as comprehensive as a town’s
open spaces are usually relevant for
only five to 12 years.
She added that factors such as
the acquisition of new land and
facilities the town has added
both in the last year caused the
need to examine the plan.
With the acquisition of the
Adams Tract, a 27-acre open
space that runs along Bolin Creek,
and the new Martin Luther King
Jr. Park, under construction off
Hillsborough Road, McNair said
now is the time to look and see
what the town might do next.
The master plan officials develop
will serve as an aid for long-term
community planning.
“A master plan is basically a tool
or guide so that those of us who
work in these departments can
recall and keep in check what our
goals are and why,” said Lori Taft,
Orange County recreation and
parks management director.
She added that plans are also
helpful when the town applies for
grants from higher levels of gov
Legislation will take on Patriot Act
BY MICHELLE MENDON^A
STAFF WRITER
A bipartisan union reintroduced
a bill to Congress on Tuesday that
could limit the powers of the USA
Patriot Act, 15 parts of which will
expire in December.
But the Bush administration
isn’t willing to back down.
During a press conference
Tuesday, Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales said he hopes the U.S.
Senate Judiciary Committee will
uphold those portions of the act
but that he’ll work with senators.

of the main sponsors of the Security
State legislature to debate in-car cell phone limitations
BY WHITNEY ISENHOWER
STAFF WRITER
The right to chat on cell phones
while driving soon might end for
state residents.
A N.C. House bill proposes the
ban against using phones while on
the road, following similar legisla
tion popping up in states across the
country.
North Carolina’s bill would pro
hibit drivers from using cell phones
while on public streets and high
ways. It would go into effect Dec. 1.
The bill still would allow the
use of hands-free sets, and it also
would permit emergency calls.
Rep. Alma Adams, D-Guilford,
one of the bill’s sponsors, said
the bill wouldn’t ban hands-free
phones because it’s the act of hold
ing a phone, not that act of talking,
that’s the problem.
“I don’t know that talking in and
of itself is a distraction, because

emment.
The town convened a master
plan work group that will help
assemble a comprehensive plan.
And it’s hired HadenStanziale, a
planning and civil engineering
company based in Charlotte, to
handle consulting duties.
“Our role is to do a recreation
needs assessment and look at exist
ing facilities and greenways and
where the town would like things
to go in the next 10 years,” said
John Wood, the consultant work
ing with town officials.
Along with the master plan work
group, Wood will help examine cur
rent trends, facility uses and ways
Carrboro can work with other towns
and cities to accomplish its goals.
He said the open houses reflect
the goals he and the work group
have in store for the future.
The master plan will also help
locals concerned about land con
servation —one reason why the
Friends of Bolin Creek will attend
Saturday’s open house.
“Our primary concern is that
plans for the park and preserve
will be a part of the master plan
and will be given appropriate con
sideration,” said Dave Otto, vice
chairman for the group.
The group is also concerned
about Chapel Hill’s greenways
because they extend through
Carrboro along Bolin Creek.
Chapel Hill’s Parks and
Recreation Director Kathryn
Spatz said her town’s master plan
includes expanding the town’s gre
enways along with similar infra
structure in other municipalities.

and Freedom Enhancement Act.
“Senator Craig believes the
Patriot Act is needed to fight crime,
but he also believes there needs to
be some sideboards to ensure that
the American freedoms, which
thousands have died for, are not
infringed,” said Dan Whiting, a
representative for Craig.
The Patriot Act came before
the Senate in 2001, shortly after
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Most
lawmakers agree that it’s a valuable
tool in fighting terrorism, but many
have misgivings about some of its
stronger measures.
Feingold was the only senator
you can be driving and talking to
a passenger,” Adams said.
Lawmakers acknowledged that
it might be too hard to determine
what an “emergency situation” is.
But police could do things such
as looking up people’s call logs to
determine whether they were in
dire need of talking on the phone.
Rep. Earline Parmon, D-Forsyth,
also a sponsor, pointed out that
those in an emergency would be on
the phone for a brief moment.
“You’re not going to be driving
down the highway and talking to 911
for any length of time,” Parmon said.
“Certainly if there’s an emergency,
you would need to pull over.”
The bill comes after many other
states passed legislation banning the
use of phones while driving, with
New York leading the way in 2001.
Christine Burling, spokeswoman
with the N.Y. DMV communica
tions office, said the state has given

Year’s final art exhibit
has a competitive flair
Art hand-picked
by set of judges
BY BEN PITTARD
STAFF WRITER
The verdict is in.
For the students whose art
is now on display in the Union
Gallery, it won’t bring money or
widespread fame just a chance
to display their work in a key
University building.
But most said the recognition
and honor will do.
The Union Gallery’s latest
exhibit features the winners of the
second annual Carolina Juried
Show and features work by about
15 students.
“Last year was the first time
we tried something like it,” said
Courtney Kotsionis of the Carolina
Union Activities Board’s Gallery
Committee.
“It worked out really well, and
we’re working off of last year’s idea.
Basically, the whole purpose is to
get other majors involved and to
show their work.”
The pieces on display were
hand-picked by four jurors specifi
cally for the event.
Jurors divided pieces into dif
ferent categories, including craft
pieces, avant-garde work, concep
tual art and digital prints.
The jury comprised two pro
fessionals from the local art com
munity, including a member of
Flywheel Design of Durham and
a curator from the Ackland Art
Museum.
The other two jurors were
University alumni and art majors.
The first-place winner is a piece
by Elizabeth Christiansen titled
“Trapped,” a ceramic sculpture in
the shape of a closed, laced-up cor
set with red roses inside.
The description beside the piece
states that it’s meant to provoke
who voted against the Patriot Act
when it came before the chamber
in October 2001. In a press release,
he stated that he thinks the SAFE
Act “permits the government to
conduct necessary surveillance,
but only within a framework of
accountability and oversight.”
Christopher Pyle, a politics pro
fessor at Mount Holyoke College
and an expert on the Patriot Act,
said he supports the SAFE Act.
“The Patriot Act violates the
Fourth Amendment ... and I’m
opposed to circumventing the
Constitution,” he said.
According to a press release,
about 300,000 tickets to drivers
who have violated the legislation
in the past four years.
“It’s a traffic safety issue, so
everything behind the law is really
to enhance the safety on our road
ways,” she said. “I would say over
all, it’s been effective.”
Despite residents’ best efforts to
be cautious while driving and chat
ting, experts agree that a law forbid
ding the act is the best way to mini
mize the dangers of distraction.
“For most people, legislation is the
only thing that’s going to stop their
actions talking on a hand-held cell
phone,” said Lt Glenn Miner, spokes
man with the N.Y. state police.
But some N.C. residents might
see a ban as an attack on their rights
or a hindrance to their work.
“A lot of people are in business,
and you can’t drive three hours and
not make a call you lose three
hours of business time,” said Rep.

women often find themselves in
modem society.
Matthew Weiss, a junior anthro
pology major, received second
place overall for his sculpture,
“Efficiency of Line.”
“I was a little disappointed
I didn’t get first,” Weiss said,
laughing.
“I’ve never won anything before
as far as my art is concerned.”
Sophomore Katie Almirall, a
double major in psychology and
art from Oak Island, received
third place overall for her piece
“Eye Candy.”
Almirall said that after she
learned about the Juried Show
from several friends, she entered
on a whim. Her win, she said, was
unexpected especially because
she broke her mold to make a com
ment on the commercialization of
the female body.
“It was actually a huge surprise
to me,” said Almirall. “It’s not a
typical piece for me, not my typi
cal palette and colors.”
Feingold said the SAFE Act is
intended to provide “the checks
and balances that were missing
from the Patriot Act at the time of
its initial passage.”
The SAFE Act would not elimi
nate many of the controversial
aspects in the Patriot Act such as
the library clause, wiretaps and the
“sneak-and-peak” searches, only
limit them.
“A large problem with the Patriot
Act is the definition of terrorism is
very broad,” Pyle said.
The SAFE Act intends to limit
this broad definition where any

lives are in danger, then we, as leg
islators, are to act accordingly,”

with a three-run home run in the
top of the sixth to give UNC a 3-0
win against host East Carolina on

for Young, who homered to the
opposite way over the right field

season.
Despite being limited to only
two hits by Tar Heel star Crystal
Cox, East Carolina (43-12) had
multiple opportunities to score but
left the bases loaded three times
and stranded a total of 11 runners
in the game.
Paige Baggett singled in the sec
ond inning, as did Leigh Savoy in
the third, to account for ECU’s two
hits.
In the circle for the Pirates,
sophomore Keli Harrell scattered
five hits over seven innings and
struck out three, yielding two of
those five hits in the sixth.
Cox, a junior, earned the victory
for the Tar Heels (25-20), striking
out seven batters in a complete
game effort while walking eight
—another brilliant outing for
North Carolina’s ace pitcher.
The Tar Heels were able to
rebound after suffering a 2-1 loss
at Campbell on Wednesday, as the
three-run sixth-inning outburst
proved to be enough to sink the
Pirates.
North Carolina returns to
action this weekend in a three
game set against Atlantic Coast

The series kicks off with a
Saturday doubleheader starting
at 2 p.m. at the UNC Softball
Complex.
The third game takes place at
