Q&A and autograph session following lecture • Sponsored by CUAB
The forum, held in Murphey
Hall, was moderated by Kris Gould
and Katie Baker, the chairman and
vice-chairwoman of Vote Carolina.
About 175 people, mostly students,
attended the event.
The war on terror and the war in
Iraq were present in both candidates’
opening and closing remarks.
Acuff said he does not agree
with every decision President Bush
has made, but he does support him
and believes that America is safer
as a result of White House policy.
“I don’t see the President’s poli
cy as a failed policy.”
Price did not vote for the 2002
legislation authorizing Bush’s use
of force in Iraq and said he does
not regret that decision.
He said the President should

have focused on threats from
North Korea, Iran, Pakistan and
others before addressing Iraq.
“All those countries are more dan
gerous now than they were at the
start of the Bush administration.”
The questions to the candidates
covered issues including the envi
ronment, stem cell research, legis
lative ethics, illegal immigration and
the N.C. economy.
Acuff said that he is not very
concerned with global warming
and that he thinks Americans can
overcome environmental issues.
“Americans handle problems,”
he said. “We don’t panic and stam
pede because of them.”
Price said global warming, clean
air and fuel efficiency need to be
dealt with now.

Acuff said Congress needs more
responsible, ethical leadership.
“I think that the American peo
ple need to get some characters out
of Congress and get some people
with character into Congress.”
When asked why college stu
dents should care about voting,
Price said there is legislation com
ing up in the next session that will
affect them directly, such as policy
concerning scholarship funding.
He said people should be worried
about what he calls the meltdown of
fiscal and diplomatic policy.
“Students are no different than
any other group.”

Southern Rail eatery on
track to open in March
BY LAURA SMITH
STAFF WRITER
Mike Benson didn’t forget
where he came from when he left
Orange County to begin his career
in design.
Although Benson has made his
home in Washington, D.C. for the
past 10 years, he is returning to
the place he was born and raised
to open Southern Rail, anew
Carrboro restaurant with an open
ing date set for March.
The restaurant will be located in
the historical Pullman-style railcars
on Weaver Street and Benson said
the restaurant will give guests the
feeling of a 1920s rail station.
“I’m going for a travel theme
with the restaurant and the menu,”
Benson said. “International flavor
is the idea.”
Benson, who is also the owner
of Cafe Saint-Ex and Bar Pilar in
Washington, D.C., said the menu
will offer a variety of tapas style
foods and a diverse wine menu.
Freshman Meghan Spears said
she thought the new restaurant
would be a good change from the
norm.
“It’s a really cool idea,” she said.

Congressional candidate Steve Acuff (left), a Republican, listens while
incumbent Democrat David Price answers a question during a debate Monday.
“I’ve done some traveling, so it’s
nice to have something like that
close by.”
Junior Moira Ryan also said
Southern Rail was a good idea for
the town.
“It sounds great,” she said.
“It think it’s just what Carrboro
needs.”
Benson said he wanted to keep
the menu in line with the values of
Weaver Street.
Weaver Street Market, a nearby
grocery, offers a selection of organic
and locally grown products.
“We’re going to be very involved
with sustainable agriculture and
local farms,” he said.
“If a farmer is feeding something
to his own family, I think it’s pretty
safe to be eating.”
With a price range tentatively
set at $3 to sl2 for a plate of tapas,
Benson said he hopes to appeal to
a mixed crowd.
The Weaver Street railroad cars
have hosted a number of establish
ments over the years, including res
taurants, cafes and bars.
Benson said he wants to work
with both Chapel Hill and Carrboro
to facilitate a good start for the res

taurant.
Freshman Jeremy Ellender said
he is looking forward to paying a
visit to Southern Rail.
“It sounds really diverse and
entertaining,” he said. “You’re not
just sitting there eating food. It
reminds me of The Boxcar Children
books.”
Benson said construction is still
in the early stages, but he is look
ing forward to working on the new
facility.
An avid photographer, Benson
owns his own studio and has done
freelance work for the University.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am
to be back in Chapel Hill.”
