KNOW YOUR CAMPUS
Name: Coker Arboretum
Built: 1903
William Chambers Coker was the first professor of botany at UNC. In 1903 he
began turning a five-acre pasture on campus into an arboretum for the study
of trees and shrubs native to North Carolina. In the 19205, Coker expanded the
collection to include East Asian plants to enhance the educational component
of the arboretum.

VANDALISM

spray painted along the 75-foot
long side of the building.
Honeycutt said designs also were
spray painted on the sidewalk and
near the front of the store.
“When ... I saw what it was, it
kind of confused me,” Honeycutt
said. “It was unusual looking.”
Police officer Mitch McKinney
said he is familiar with “L.b.u.” tag
ging in Wake County, particularly
in the Raleigh area.
“It probably is going to be gang
related, but we haven’t confirmed
that completely.”
Honeycutt said that she didn’t
feel threatened or targeted by the
event but that she does “not want
gangs of any sort.”
“(The police) said it’s territorial,
that that’s what they do, and I didn’t
feel threatened by it because they
didn’t break any windows or any
thing like that,” she said. “If some
thing had been broken or really tom
up, that would be a different story.”
Cousins said the police depart
ment worked with the vandalized
businesses to make sure the graffiti
was removed promptly.

“The first thing we do, as soon as
we see it, is we make arrangements
to have it removed,” Cousins said.
“Research shows if you leave it there
it encourages more vandalism.”
The landlord had the graf
fiti painted over by March 19,
Honeycutt said.
“Fixing it was very fast, and I
was pleased with that,” she said.
Cousins said officers have been
made aware of the “L.b.u.” designs
Vandalized sites in last two weeks:
*’L.b.u." was spray painted at these locations.
Police say they believe the incidents are related.
and are keeping an eye out.
Honeycutt said she, too, would
be keeping watch.
“I don’t want any trouble or
anything like that,” she said. “But
it makes you think. It makes you
wonder just what is going on.”

“I wasn’t trying to say they
weren’t qualified,” she said. “Mike
just stood out as so qualified.”
One of the key responsibilities of
the vice president is serving as a sec
ond opinion on any major or minor
decisions the president musttnake.
“Having someone that can pro
vide that check that’s so valu
able,” Student Body President
James Allred said.
Carson said she thinks Tarrant’s
background will provide a more
thorough check on her.
“It’s always good to have someone
to bounce ideas off of,” she said.
“In the case of really big deci
sions, that decision better have
been the most careful and analyzed
decision.”

to sleep and stayed up almost all
night as a symbol of their support,
Orcutt said.
Whether or not they slept, par
ticipants found a way to keep the
atmosphere fun. A Miss Relay
2007 pageant featuring men in
dresses and karaoke contests kept
the group laughing well into the
early hours.
But the reason for the event was
not forgotten.
“Everyone was in great spir
its because this was a celebrating
of life,” Orcutt said. “We were all
hopeful for finding a cure and shar
ing the experience of thousands of
people coming together for one
cause.”

which would be placed in areas with
well-lit roads but darker sidewalks,
would be located in the Northside
district, the Cameron-McCauley
district and on East Rosemary
Street between Hillsborough and
Boundary streets.
The funding for the installation
costs would come from the safety
and security component of student
fees.
Students pay $1.75 annually for
the component, which is managed
by the safety and security commit
tee. The 76 percent of its budget
dedicated to student safety on and
off-campus largely has been unused
in past years, Allred said.
The student government’s ability
to fund the expensive installation of
the lights and emergency boxes will
be very helpful to the town, council
member Mark Kleinschmidt said.
“One of the things that’s really
attractive is student government’s
willingness to jump-start the pro
cess,” Kleinschmidt said. “It’s a
great way to get the ball moving
quickly.”
After Allred presents his petition
to the council, it will be referred to
town staff for review. From there,
recommendations will be made to
the council at a later meeting, said
Linda Convissor, University direc
tor of local relations.
She said Allred is using his right
as a resident to petition exactly
how it is meant to be used.
“It looks like they’ve done their
homework.”

the tunes.”
The audience didn’t hold its
applause for the end of each
arrangement. Instrumentalists
performing solos during each song
were sometimes applauded before
they even had a chance to sit back
down.
Marsalis then acknowledged
soloists at the end of every arrange
ment, during which they received
even heartier applause.
“When great musicians play
music that you know, it’s not
only accessible but it elevates the
music to a level of expression so
detailed and nuanced that it cre
ates a greater connection,” Ketch
said.
“The audience may find them
selves thinking, T’ve played this
before.’”
Andrea Sorce, a sophomore
music major, said Sunday night’s
performance was the first time she
was able to see such a popular jazz
artist.
“The solos are the best part of
the experience,” she said.
Emil Kang, executive direc
tor for Carolina Performing Arts,
said Marsalis could be one of the
most important artists in America
today.
“He’s become an icon because he
reaches beyond traditional roots
and has a willingness to try new
things,” he said. “If you’re not awed
by it, something’s wrong.”
