©lp Satty ©ar Uppl Airport s fate sealed in budget BY STEPHEN MOORE STAFF WRITER The University’s plans to close Horace Williams Airport have hit some turbulence within the N.C. General Assembly. The House and Senate budgets differ on the issue, directing the airport along different paths. The latest House version allows for a one-year study to decide whether the location is needed by N.C.

Adorned with both tattoos and tiaras, they were being honored for their ability to block punches and elbow their way through a sweaty pack of roller skaters. The Carolina Rollergirls, an all female roller derby team new to North Carolina, celebrated the end of its inaugural season with “The Blood-Spillin’ Cotillion,” an awards ceremony and dance party. The team’s 30 players, ages 21 to 44, came out dressed to the nines in a mix of evening gowns VILLAGE FROM PAGE 3 while maintaining the campus’s 260-acre footprint necessarily leads to higher density, but it would remain still lower than the core density of Southern Village, said Kathy Buck, the group’s treasurer.

Investigations began after an out-of-town relative contacted local law enforcement after not being able to get in touch with the family for more than a week. The bodies were found wrapped in blankets inside the house. Shotgun shells were found on the floor nearby. Further details about the inves tigation were revealed later in a warrant dated May 26. Lauren Sapikowski, Adam Sapikowski’s sister, told investiga tors about a “secret hiding place” in his room. She said the space might be hard to find with someone who is unfamiliar with the room and could contain a box with information. Adam Sapikowski’s girlfriend said he gave her a key, but she did not know what the key unlocked. The warrant also revealed that Adam Sapikowski “has an exten sive knowledge of guns and was a member of a gun club.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

The airport lies in the heart of the area planned for development and is the flattest area of the 963- acre Horace Williams tract. But closing the airport could lengthen travel time for doctors by 15 or 20 minutes, experts say. The debate concerning the air port’s future now resides within the budget discussion of the joint conference committee. During the next few weeks, the committee will decide whether to keep the airport or close it to con struct the new campus. Rep. Bill Faison, D-Orange, said maintaining the airport is necessary for patients. “I think the airport is a very important part of Chapel Hill,” he said. “I think that the people who are wishing to close it are signifi and punk accessories. Awards were presented for “Most Devoted Derby Bitch” and “Scrumptious Rumptious” translating into best volunteer and nicest butt, respectively —as well as more traditional categories. Roller derby is an extreme sport in which two teams skate in a pack while one player from each team tries to wrestle her way to the front. The sport reached its heyday in the ’6os and ’7os and is now experiencing a resur gence of interest with all-female leagues sprouting up all over the country.

Group members said they have worked on this plan since last July and have sought to reflect the concerns raised by nearby existing neighborhoods.

BUDGET TALKS FROM PAGE 3 would block money needed to fund increases in the number of students in public schools, a 12 percent increase in medicaid and increases for community colleges and universities. “This is not a good idea,” Hoyle said. “I would say it is reckless.” Berger responded, saying the increase in taxes does not go toward additional funding for edu cation and medicaid. A motion to table the amend ment passed by a 26-20 vote blocking the amendment from the resolution. Sen. Hugh Webster, R- Alamance, also made comments of disapproval while on the Senate floor.

Laura Weakland, known as Celia Fate on the rink, started the Carolina Rollergirls two years ago after seeing the first female league play in Austin, Texas. “It was the coolest thing I’d ever seen.” Fate began skating with friends back in Raleigh, and soon the Carolina Rollergirls were bom. Divided into two teams, the Rollergirls played three bouts this year to sold-out crowds at the Skate Ranch in Raleigh. Many women, particularly the mothers on the team, find roller derby a positive outlet for every day stress. “The moms are the ones to watch out for,” Fate said. “They come out with a little aggres “We will look at the ideas they presented and see which are via ble,” he said. Waldrop had reservations about some other proposals, such as the possibility of cutting parking spaces to fewer than 6,000 while increas ing housing units to 8,000. “That’s less than one parking space per household,” he said, adding that researchers and other University employees would also need parking.

The attempt to amend the reso lution was expected, said House Majority Leader Joe Hackney, D- Orange. “That’s just political posturing,” he said. The continuing resolution even tually passed the Senate by a 29- 20 vote and has been sent to the House for concurrence.

Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange. “I think Carolina North ... can not be stopped,” she said. “My disappointment is that they found 10 sites close to Chapel Hill-Carrboro, and they didn’t use them.” The issue should have more time to be discussed in greater detail for the General Assembly to fully understand the problem, said Rep.

SCHWARTZ STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR First Amendment experts and university media advocates across the country say a recent court rul ing puts campus communities’ right to information in jeopardy. In a 7-4 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit ruled that university administrators at schools that provide funding to student newspapers can review and censor content prior to publication. The case, Hosty v. Carter, origi nated from the Illinois-based Governors State University where in 2001 the school newspaper editors sued the institution. They claimed that Patricia Carter, dean of student affairs and services, violated their First Amendment rights when she threatened to pull funding if she was not granted editing privileges. The ruling frees Carter of wrong doing and asserts that the 1988 Supreme Court case Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier also applies to universities. Both are dangerous and could spur unwanted effects that stretch beyond the 7th circuit borders of Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, said Kathy Lawrence, president of College Media Advisers. “The danger of course is that other circuits will look to this one,” \CCußfNbya Thrift Shop ¥ Clothing, Books & Music, House & Kitchen, Gifts ( ; \ ► Buy one item clothing, get one item free with this ad! j ues . h , ioam-s™ V, $lO limit Sat 10 AM-4 pm Club Nova promotes and provides opportunities for (919) 967*6985 individuals with mental illness to lead meaningful and 103 C West Main St., Carrboro productive lives of their choice in the community.

Beginning in August, ITS will change how students, faculty and staff can contact one another by providing a revamped online direc tory search engine and establishing firmer policies regarding the distri bution and creation of University e-mail accounts and Onyens. “We’re trying to create a more reliable means of communica tion across the University because before there wasn’t one,” said Megan Bell, acting assistant direc tor of ITS communications. The first of these changes, the revamped online campus directory Web site, will effectively compile the University’s mass of previously individual directories into one cen tralized search engine. The move is aimed toward offer ing a uniform means of searching for and updating personal informa tion, including telephone and e-mail contacts and privacy settings. The new online directory also will offer more specific search tools, affording users the opportunity to scan for the contact information of students, faculty and staff by department, in addition to searches by last name that are used now. The refurbished online campus she said. “This is an attractive idea to some college administrators.” But movement is afoot that could prevent that from happening. The ruling will be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and oth ers are rallying behind the cause. Marie Goodman, executive direc tor of the Student Press Law Center, said the organization is drafting a formal response to the ruling and constantly advising students. The center first began advising the Governors State University students in 2000 and filed friend of the court papers in the case and argued on the journalist’s behalf. Lawrence said her group will be among several organizations that would file similar papers if the Supreme Court hears the case. She said she is shocked and saddened by the case because of the crucial role student newspa pers play on college campuses informing readers and arming them with the knowledge they need to make key decisions. “Anytime you have a circum stance that makes those students think twice... then you have some thing that runs counter to every single thing our democracy was established to protect,” she said. To avoid that result, Richard Roth, Society of Professional directory comes as the result of a collaborative effort between the directory steering committee and the ITS project team. The second of the ITS depart ment’s summer renovations is an attempt to “improve the relay of information” across campus, Systems Accountant David Pass said. The improvement will come in the form of new University proce dures regarding the assignment of Onyens and Onyen-based e-mail addresses to incoming students, faculty and staff. In previous years, new faculty and students were only assigned PID numbers upon enrollment and hiring and were not required to create individual University e mail accounts. This oversight meant many stu dents and staff who neglected to set up University accounts would not receive campuswide e-mails, and therefore would not be aware of important information such as cam pus security and meningitis alerts. This fall, however, such prob lems will be remedied as incoming students will be assigned Onyens and University e-mail accounts along with their PID numbers. Other University departments that maintain individual e-mail systems, such as the Kenan-Flagler Business School and the UNC School of Medicine, also will be linked via a trusted domain process to ensure that security guidelines are met and that important information is communicated across campus.

Goodman said controversial stu dent organizations that receive uni versity funds likely will be the first to be censored by administrators. “It’s probably just a matter of time before some college officials start demanding the right to review a col lege newspaper as well,” he said.
