HALLOWEEN
FROM PAGE 1
Lazorko, spokeswoman for the
town of Chapel Hill, about 350
police arrested only five people
Friday night in the closed portion
of Franklin Street, four for fight
ing and one for impersonating an
officer.
Police arrested 13 people in
the same area during Halloween
last year, when there also were
more fights, drunk and disorderly
charges, and cases of alcohol poi
soning.
The turmoil some residents
predicted would occur when offi
cers began to clear Franklin Street
about 20 minutes after midnight
never materialized.
Most attendees moved to the
sidewalks when officers asked.
Those who stayed in the streets
were quickly moved by 10 officers
approaching on motorcycles, rev
ving their engines, flashing head
lights and leaning on horns —a
tactic Gunter called a skirmish
line.

SPOTTERS

Early in the evening, an inebri
ated student ran into a tree behind
the Alumni Building and collapsed.
Eric Smith, a health educator for
Campus Wellness Services and an
administrators volunteering, went to
Franklin Street to hail paramedics.
“That’s an impressive state to be
in at 11:30,” Smith said.
About 2 am., South Campus spot
ters reported that they were encoun
tering people who needed help, but
the commotion died down quickly.
That was about it for the night.
Despite not having much to do
and cold temperatures, the spotters
seemed upbeat and content.
Tom Koester, co-chairman of the
town and external relations commit
tee for student government, said he
wants the program to continue.
“I’m not going to be here. But I
hope its something they carry on.”

cars and buses seemed to do the
trick.

President Andrew Coonin, dressed
as an oversized baby, briefly resist
ed police efforts to clear Franklin
Street.
Coonin stood before oncom
ing motorcycles shouting, “Don’t
touch me.” Officers nudged Coonin
onto the sidewalk within a few
seconds.
Duke University senior Jake
Hartley took a more passive
approach, strolling before the
motorcade in full Jesus garb and
parting the crowds with waves of
his arms before officers asked him
to move onto the sidewalks.
Gunter said no one was injured
or arrested by the time officers fully
cleared Franklin Street at 1 a.m.,
an hour and half earlier than past
years.

And three work at the

Town council members have
said they might give the position
to a black person. Thorpe, who
was black, advocated heavily for
minority issues in his 11 years on
the council.
Four of the applicants are
black.
The Anderson Thorpe Breakfast
Club, which Thorpe led up until his
death, recently endorsed James
Merritt for the position.
And James Protzman, of left
wing blog BlueNC, endorsed
Raymond this weekend.
Together, the applicants form an
eclectic group of community ser

fields as business, sociology, educa

of the town’s Homegrown
Halloween campaign —a series
of safety restrictions intended to
reduce the size of the event and
keep it local.
New policies introduced this
year included no bus services to
park-and-ride lots, and closing
and rerouting traffic on streets sur
rounding downtown.
Many attendees still seemed to
enjoy themselves.
A roving mob of techno danc
ers, wizards, break dancers, Bill
Clintons and even a Daily Tar Heel
kvetching board bounced to trance
music in the middle of Franklin.
They were followed by a ping
pong team that ripped serves
across a table strapped to the back
of a friend, and a wanna-be Mayor
Kevin Foy.
Others said the event was a let
down.
“It seemed less crazy,” UNC
junior Trevor Ollar said. “People
were much less rambunctious than
they were my freshman year.”

EARLY VOTING

they realize they cannot vote again.
Prior to Election Day, early voters
are checked off on the master list as
having already voted, said Jeanette
Tolley, a Morehead poll worker who
has worked polling sites since 1957.
“If that person comes to vote
again, we have a sworn record that
they have already voted,” Tolley
said. “And I consider that a fool
proof system.”
Early voting, which began Oct.
16 and ended Saturday, brought
out almost 52,000 one-stop vot
ers in Orange County up from
30,000 in 2004. More than 18,000
of this year’s early votes were cast at
Morehead Planetarium.
“We have found that with early
voting there’s higher turnout,”
Reams said.
The Orange County Board of
Elections hopes to have at least
a 70 percent voter turnout by
Tuesday night, up from last elec
tion’s 65 percent turnout.
Wright said the trend this year is
leaning toward early voting.
“I can’t imagine voting on
Election Day,” said Robin Wells,
chief judge of early voting at
Morehead Planetarium. “Early vot
ing gives you a chance to get every
thing straightened out in case there
is a problem.”
Carrboro resident Katherine
Kershaw, who voted at Morehead
Planetarium on Saturday, said that
while early voting was easy enough,
the atmosphere would have been
better on Tuesday.
“I feel like if I had voted on
Election Day, it would have been a
little more exciting.”

“With concerts we make our very
best judgement as a group of diverse
student that represents the student
body, but sometimes perhaps we
misjudge,” Allin said. “It’s something
that we’ve certainly been very curi
ous about and very attuned to, and
trying to get the word out maybe
we haven’t got the word out.”
Adele Ricciardi, CUAB music
committee chairwoman said
although ticket sales are impor
tant, CUAB is also concerned with
booking acts that take a creative
approach to crafting their sound.

Spectators relax while listening to Sweet Potato Pie, an

opportunity allowed us to bring an
artist that is well established, but
still innovative in the way they
differ from traditional hip-hop by
playing live instruments.”
Although Gym Class Heroes is an
established group and has sold out
larger venues than Memorial Hall,
Allin said campus-wide publicity is
still crucial to ticket sales.
CUAB sent Facebook invites,
e-mailed listervs and sat in the Pit.
“We’ve definitely kind of pulled
out all the stops in terms of trying to
get the word out,” Allin said.
Matt McGinley, drummer for
Gym Class Heroes, said the group’s
unconventional hip-hop style carries
over to their performance creating
high-intensity concert that would
be appealing to many students.
“This is a show for music fans wfio
want to hear something that’s slight
ly askew,” McGinley said. “Gym Class
Heroes brings a unique chemistry on
stage. We live to play live.”
