POLICE LOG
■ Several cases of breaking and
entering and larceny of sound sys
tems from Hondas were discovered
Monday, according to Chapel Hill
police reports.
Police believe the incidents are
related, said Jane Cousins, the
department’s spokeswoman.
All of the stereos were taken from
the dashboard, according to reports,
and Cousins said entry to each of
the vehicles was obtained by prying
doors open, rather than breaking
windows, a method of entry Cousins
said is frequently used on Hondas.
The sound equipment was from a
variety of manufacturers, including
Panasonic, Pioneer and Kenwood,
and had a total estimated value of
$2,200, reports stated.
The vehicles were manufactured
between 1990 and 2000.
Reports state that the vehicles
were located on Homestead Road,
Legacy Terrace, Westminster Drive
and North Heritage Circle when
they were struck.
The first damage was discovered
at 10:27 a.m. and the last time one of
the cars was known to be secure was
at 4 a.m. Monday, reports state.
Cousins said it is common for a
group or individual to strike sev
eral targets in one night, but this
incident has not been linked to any
others.
■ A restricted victim was robbed
at 12:31 a.m. Tuesday, according to
Chapel Hill police reports.

Fund aims to spur
diverse interchange
BY ALLISON NICHOLS
STAFF WRITER
In response to claims that the
campus’s ethnic groups do not
interact, administrators created a
new fund to provide support for
University interaction.
The Diversity Incentive Fund,
announced earlier this month, will
award up to $2,500 to students,
faculty and staff for informing the
campus on diversity or provid
ing the opportunity for different
groups to interact together, said
Cookie Newsom, director of diver
sity education and research.
The fund was created in response
to the chancellor’s task force on
diversity assessment in the spring,
which said funding was needed to
promote cross-group interaction
and education.
Newsom said the assessment
concluded that despite an adequate
presence of diversity on campus,
there are not enough activities
encouraging groups to interact. “We
have different political groups, dif
ferent sexual orientations, but these
groups tend to stick to themselves.”
Applications for funds already
have been received in the first week
of the award’s existence, said Archie
Ervin, associate provost for multicul
tural and diversity affairs.
He said he has received proposals
for departmental interactive racial

diversity seminars and some pro
posals from student organizations.
Newsom said uses for the award
might include travel costs for guest
speakers and seed money to help
people think about hosting events.
The award is funded by the
Office of the Provost. Newsom
speculated that funds are available
to award the maximum amount
about five times per semester.
Ervin said the award is a great
source of needed encouragement.
“In order to benefit from diversity,
we have to do more than have diverse
groups on campus,” Ervin said.
He said proposals will be judged
according to a number of criteria,
including the emphasis of the pro
gram on interactive education.
Any member of the faculty, staff
or student body at UNC is eligible
to apply for the award.
“We think by providing support,
members of staff and faculty will be
able to do more,” Ervin said.
Applications are available at
www.unc.edu/diversity/diversi
tyincentive/index.html and are
reviewed on a rolling basis.
Newsom said the fund likely will
be available for a number of years
as a part of an ongoing process to
encourage diversity.
