non-issue.
“If you see yourself as something
special because you are a girl who
can play rock music, you are always
going to see the world through that
filter.
“But if you just walk around
knowing that it’s what you do and
who you are, the fact that you are
female stops being a factor."
That is something that Turner
and Executive Director Amelia
Shull are trying to teach the girls
early on.
“You can play the girls plenty of
feminist music, but that doesn't do
any good if they don’t know w hat
to do with those messages." Turner
said.
"We like to plant the seed early."

Exterior construction kicked into
high gear in June, and the buildings

brick exterior with black canopies
and two separate arched entrance
ways for the retailers.
Brader-Araje said he wanted the
building's interior to be updated
but to stay true to the heritage of
Franklin Street.
“The entire inside has been
brought to shell; it looks fantas
tic. There's exposed brick, exposed
beams," he said.
And during the interior con

Street's past was discovered on the
left interior wall of the building as
seen from Franklin Street.

As Carolina developed its response to the UNC Tomorrow Commission's report, we realized that
if our broad-ranging expertise can offer individual responses to its six major policy areas - global
readiness, access to higher education, public education, economic transformation, health and
environment -then the same expertise should be capable of developing a comprehensive and
more effective approach as well. The Community-Campus Partnership for Tomorrow is a
commitment by Carolina to forge comprehensive and integrated partnerships with undeserved
communities in North Carolina. The goal is to help them build capacity that will address their
needs over time. We need your ideas and your support as we begin to plan how to approach this
important pilot project that has become the signature piece of our UNC Tomorrow response. If
you are able to join us at the Friday Center, please respond to ccps@unc.edu by Friday, July 25.

The news of first lady Easley's
raise comes on the heels of a media
frenzy surrounding taxpayer-fund
ed trips she and Gov. Mike Easley
took overseas.
The trips, the costs of which
equaled hundreds of thousands of
dollars, were justified as cultural
exchanges intended to encourage
tourism to North Carolina.
The Easleys defended the cost
of the trips, saying that traveling
in Europe is unavoidably expen
sive, but critics questioned hir
ing 24-hour chauffeurs and other
expenses from the trips.
