With his new job, he has been able to take an active role in the system, Newton said. Danner is a member of the Seawell Elementary School gover nance committee. He also has several commit ments in the community as a YMCA youth soccer coach and a summer swim league volunteer. Although his degrees —a doc torate and a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor of science degree from the University of Virginia are in chemical engineering, his father, a university professor, taught him the importance of education. Danner’s campaign is now off and running though he said it’s the north and the restoration of a historic inn downtown. But Dancy said she will work to protect the environment as develop ment continues to grow. “I don’t want any businesses that will pollute the air,” she said. Erosion, water cleanliness and cost are also points of concern for the town, through which the Eno River flows. Residents will see the sewer rate in Hillsborough rise by more than nine percent in October. Dancy added that several of the town’s recurrent issues, including crime and a high rate for water, are present in her own northern Hillsborough neighborhood. These are concerns that Dancy News UVa. reacts to race conflicts BY JUSTIN ORTIZ STAFF WRITER A recent rash of racist episodes at the University of Virginia has shocked the university community, whose members have since stepped up efforts to eliminate discrimina tion on campus. The six reported incidents began during UVa.’s move-in weekend,- said Carol Wood, the university’s assistant vice president for univer sity relations. In the late afternoon of Aug. 20, a car filled with white males yelled out racial slurs to a group of black students trying to settle in. Three days later, similar drive by incidents occurred around campus. A birthday card con taining racial slurs, a message on still a learning experience. His Web site (jeffdanner.org) has information about him in addition to election issues. Danner said he also will be putting out signs and has several friends who will host meet-the candidate parties. Newton said that before Danner filed to run, he was a “relative unknown,” but everyone who meets him seems to be impressed with him as a candidate. And his children also are getting interested in his campaign. “I think we’re kind of enjoying it as a family experience so far,” Danner said. Contact the City Editor at the citydesk@unc.edu. and her board colleagues work to improve regularly, she said. Dancy also said that during her tenure on the board, she has been a key player in helping to intro duce information technology to the town staff and in creating an emergency fund for issues such as hurricanes or other disasters. And despite what she called the difficult nature of the work, she is committed to the board. “Because the people come first and they depend on the board to make decisions,” she said. “It’s a lot of work, but I feel I make a difference.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. the dry-erase board outside one student’s room and the denial of entrance to a fraternity party also highlighted racial tensions on campus. Very quickly, clubs, organi zations, faculty and staff at the university came together to put a stop to the developments, Wood said. A rally was organized by the students on the steps of the rotun da at the heart of the campus to talk about racial issues and help the victims cope with the inci dents. John Casteen, president of the university, sent out an e-mail to the campus Aug. 29, stating that racial insults “have no place in a community built on mutual trust and respect.” In spite of the campus’s efforts, some students feel the reaction has been inadequate. “The university’s response has been sluggish,” said Brian Balogh, co-chairman of Student Life and Climate. “But the university has been dealing with this issue for quite some time now, and struc- THE Daily Crossword By Allan E.

We want to make sure that the students know that we are in this together’ CAROL WOOD, UVA ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT FOR UNIVERSITY RELATIONS tural changes take time.” The university has been working for the past two years to change a history dotted by segregation, rac ism and inequality. The President’s Commission on Diversity Equity, created in 2003, has provided recommendations for the school to implement for the betterment of racial and eth nic minorities. Wood said the university already has made many improve ments, such as the creation of a system for reporting race-based incidents. “We are trying to confront it head-on,” Wood said. “We want to make sure that the students know that we are in this together.” According to the Dean of Students office at UNC, there have been no reported racial incidences mate 21 Columnists' pg. 25 Frozen treat 27 Two-tone footwear 28 Lipinski leap 29 Writer Grey 30 UCLA word 32 NY gambling parlor 34 Most unattractive 37 Throw, as dice 38 Gung-ho 39 Run into 42 Lend a hand 47 Daredevil Knievel ' p p p HE p p p ■■p 1 10 |II 12 13 _ . —nfr - j||||_ . ■ ■■24 |2^ 28 29 30 WMp 32 33 ’ p4TllN3b ■■l36“ 37 38 39 t~— ~ 4? __ ■46|47 52 53 | jUp5 56 57 HHhSB 61 62 63 04 65 66 ”T 8867” 68 "liB 69 ~ mi ■■ r '~" 1 this year. But campus officials are pre pared to handle problems if they arise. “We do have in place a public commitment and readily available resources to deal with incidences like these,” said Archie Ervin, asso ciate provost of the UNC Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs. “The fact that we also have a racially and ethnically diverse community and faculty is a step in the right direction.” Though UNC has not had any problems, Balogh said the issue of race is not a problem specific to UVa. “It is a national problem.” Contact the State National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
