RALEIGH Leaders of the Wake County
Young Republicans say that most people under
estimate youth support for the GOP.
They’re trying to energize their peers in an
election year where the spotlight on the youth
vote has been focused on Democrats and the
sweeping mobilization of young liberals.
Part of that is showing youth the party’s diver
sity, said Jonathan Bandy, executive director of
the Wake County Young Republicans.
“We’re not the party that everyone thinks we
are,” he said, adding that many youth members are
more progressive Qian old guard Republicans.
In one effort to reach out, long-standing and
emerging leaders are turning to the Internet and a

He said that while his job

“I set goals for myself and I

Halloween
crowd brings
business, risk
BY EMILY STEPHENSON
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
Keeping Franklin Street safe
on Halloween matters as much
as the money for some down
town business owners.
“The bottom line is .we do
better business on that night,”
said Pete Dorrance, a member
of the Chapel Hill Restaurant
Group that owns Spanky’s
Restaurant & Bar on East
Franklin Street.
But he said that large crowds
downtown can be dangerous
and that he sometimes feels
uncomfortable working at
Spanky’s late into the night of
the festivities.
“At some point, it prob
ably becomes unmanageable,”
Dorrance said. “It’s kind of tee
tering on that line.”
Town officials, including
Mayor Kevin Foy, hope to answer
annual security concerns down
town by downsizing the tradi
tional event, which regularly
attracts about 80,000 people.
Meg McGurk, assistant
director of the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership, said
downtown businesses might
react differently to the proposed
restrictions.
“It’s really a mixed bag,” she
said. “Restaurants and bars do
see a much larger crowd on
Halloween days and evenings.”
“But there are a lot of con
cerns about traffic and safety
later in the evening that cause a
lot of businesses to close earlier
in the day.”
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce is sur
veying its members and expects
to have information in mid-
September of bxisiness attitudes
towards restrictions.
McGurk said some restaurant

SBP, trustee team up
for year-long study
BY KEVIN KILEY
ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR
Student Body President J.J.
Raynor and Trustee John Ellison
have begun a study aimed at
solving enrollment growth, fac
ulty retirement and recruitment
problems.
Their report and recommen
dations are due to the Board of
Trustees in May.
“We want to focus on the one
to two things that this University
can do to make it better tomorrow
than it is today,” Ellison said.
The project was born at former
Chancellor James Moeser’s going
away dinner, where he addressed
the major problems the University
was facing. •
Roger Perry, chairman of
the Board of Trustees, and
Chancellor Holden Thorp
charged Ellijson and Raynor
with soliciting input from the
University community and com
piling recommendations for how
to improve UNC.
“We’ve pretty much left it to
them to set their own process,”
Perry said. “We just want them
to report in every now and
then.”
One of Raynor’s hopes for the

those in the midst of festivities
on East Franklin Street likely
would oppose crowd restric
tions because of potential profit
losses.
But she said she thinks some
owners of retail shops, hair
salons and other businesses
would have a different outlook
because closing early means they
lose money on Halloween.
And downtown restaurants
and bars don’t all benefit from
the costumed extravaganza
Chapel Hill Restaurant Group
also owns 411 West, which is not
in the midst of Halloween fes
tivities and closes early.
Robert Poitras, owner and
operator of Carolina Brewery
on West Franklin Street, said
his restaurant also closes early
on Halloween.
But while the event alters the
area’s normal business hours, he
said safety issues also concern
him.
“Over time, I worry about the
magnitude of so many people,”
Poitras said. “I support anything
that’s going to make our town
safe.”
Officials have discussed
implementing a curfew, charg
ing an entrance fee and closing
bars early to keep people away
from Franklin Street.
The Apple Chill festival was
cancelled in 2006 after three
people were injured in two
shootings.
“I’m wondering how long
the town can keep doing
(Halloween),” Dorrance said.
“It’s sort of hard for the town
to control who comes to this
event. You kind of wait for the
other shoe to drop at some
point.”

study is to establish a tuition
predictability model for UNC, a
major goal of Raynor and past
student body presidents.
“Knowing what’s going to hap
pen in coming years with tuition
is dependant on where we are and
where we are going,” Raynor said.
“And this can help with knowing
that.”
Ellison and Raynor began the
process by meeting with admin
istrators almost all day Tuesday.
They have meetings scheduled
for next Hiesday, Wednesday and
Thursday as well.
Right now they are focusing
on the best way to solicit input,
including designing a Web site
and hosting open forums.
Raynor and Ellison said they
want to have dates set for. open
forums by October.
