1 0The Daily Tar Heel Monday, October 20, 1986 Malls keep By LAURIE MARTIN Staff Writer ' 'Just 30 short years ago, in suburban Minneapolis, there was .created what has become for "many an American institution: the shopping mall. outhdale Center opened its doors in 1956 and since then 26,000 shopping centers in the United States have done the same. ; And according to John Rior jdan, executive vice president of the International Council of 'Shopping Centers (ICSC), there ; .is.no sign of the mall industry flowing down. ;;'jn 1985 alone, almost 2,200 ; shopping centers were built. ult was a record-breaking year for new construction," Riordan said, "and this year we're at almost the same rate." There are more shopping cen ters than movie theaters or hos pitals in the USA and more Local malls By JEANNA BAXTER Staff Writer In the last 30 years, the shopping mall has taken suburban America by storm. Chapel Hill has been no exception, with the opening of University Mall 13 years ago and University Square Mall 14 years ago. Both malls have experienced tremendous growth since then. University Square Plaza on West Franklin Street has added three new buildings and tripled in size since its opening. In fact, due to city ordinances and the unavailability of more land, both malls have reached maximum growth. University Square Plaza offers 23 retail shops, and University Mall contains 40 retail shops, plus both contain a number of service-oriented shops. Both malls are in line with the national trend of extensive mall renovation. University Square is constantly undr renovation and moderniza tionV said Harold White, general majiager of the University Square Plsca. University Mall, located on N.C. 15-501, plans to upgrade its property by landscaping, interior moderniza tion ' and marketing changes, said Raymond Tripp, mall manager.

Kowinski, author of "The Mailing of America." The average number of shoppers per week at Southdale Center in 1956 was 25,000. Today, that figure is 200,000. Riordan said that malls have changed tremendously since Southdale opened. "If Southdale even had a food place, it was probably a lunch eonette," he said. "Now 1 don't think you can walk into a mall around without some fast food places. That's been a really strik ing change in the last few years." He said more malls are now attracting sit-down restaurants and bars that stay open even after the stores close. The "look" of malls is always changing, he said. "Right now there's more glitz and glamour, with a metallic, art-deco look and lots of mirrors." embody national trend will also begin construction of a new Big Star in the next couple of weeks." Tripp agrees with mall experts who predict that in the future, malls will be more specialized. "1 believe that the smaller centers will specialize. "We are classified as a specialty mall because we offer gifts and arts mixed w ith a variety of stores," Tripp said. "Our smaller merchants, the specialty stores, have the highest dollars per square foot sales." White disagrees. "I don't believe that malls will specialize in the future," he said. "It is better for a mall to offer a variety of shops so that all of a customer's needs can be filled in one place. Some special ization may occur, but it will not take the place of the general purpose mall." Athlete Public Records Law. The reports, 10 to 12 pages each, have some pages "replete with numbers," Padilla said. He said he must check for typing errors and numbers that do not add up correctly before submitting them to Spangler for review. Since federal law dictates that student privacy must be protected, Padilla said, "It is a torturous task to excise individual student data. "As far as I can tell, it's a question of timing.

"You can see the rate of change in the services as well as goods," he said. "You can get dental, eye and medical care at the mall now." Shoppers can conduct their banking and buy stocks, insu rance and real estate in many of today's malls, Riordan said. "These services all contribute to the efficiency of the shopping centers," Riordan said. "1 don't think electronics will ever take the place of hands-on shopping." In the United States, malls and shopping centers rang up more than $600 billion in sales last year, which is 52 percent of all national retail sales. The ICSC will celebrate its 30th birthday in May, 1987. The trade organization has almost doubled in the last two years to include 18,000 members in 40 countries. National mall trends show that malls are now offering more offices and services. University Square Plaza relies heavily upon its offices to generate business. "Not only do the office employees eat, shop and do business here, but the offices of such professional people as lawyers and dentists attract more customers," White said. "Peo ple are able to accomplish more while at the mall." But University Mall limits office space, Tripp said. "Offering a lot of office space limits the number of stores open during the evening hours, and we rely heavily on evening sales," he said. Both managers said that business is good, especially now that school is back in session. from page 1 of governors is to make it public, not sit on it. There needs to be a final version." Stevens said it was wrong to withhold the reports for editing of inconsistencies. "It may be their concept of good etiquette, but it's not my opinion of good law." When asked about Stevens' ideas, Padilla said, "He has a right, to his opinion." He declined to estimate when the reports would be released to the public but added, "I hope soon." - The reports are to be discussed Nov. J 4. at the board of governor's meeting in Charlotte.

Coming from this illus trious, director of such action films as "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull," this film seems to lack a certain flair for dramatic action and tends to drag its way through an excessive number of pool shots and weak development of characters. But the film is. well directed, the acting is remarkable, and the artistic direction is impec cable for the subjects treated. The game played in the movie is 9-ball pool, but the driving force is the money won and the hustling done, "The Hustler" (1961) is the film that starts this story. Paul Newman plays Fast Eddie Felson in the film, a young, somewhat cocky and very talented pool player trying to learn the hardest rules of the game, i.e. the hustling. "The Color of Money" comes back to Fast Eddie 25 years later, when he is no longer playing pool but still hustling. The story develops after the older Felson (Newman) convinces the young, extremely cocky and extremely talented Vince (Tom Cruise) to take his game seriously. Felson takes on the task of teaching the adolescent Vince the hustling game that he learned so many years ago. The action carries the viewer through numerous decaying midw estern pool halls and eventually to a tournament in Atlantic City. "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned," explains Felson, but finally for him, the money has to be won fairly, and from a real game. Paul Newman as Felson is the epitome of a hustler, wise and often cruel, who is going to win out in the end. He seems ruthless at first, but his character develops and becomes revitalized as he rediscovers his talent. Vince jolts the revitalization, but at the end of the movie, the tables have been turned and Vince has become the overbearing hustler. Felson finds again the power of the game, and Vince discovers the power of money. All the elements were present for the creation of a tight, interesting film, but where the plot lacked in interpersonal dramatic action, pool playing was inserted as a filler. Even for those who are really into pool, there is a growing frustration with the lack of development of peri pheral characters. Felson's girl friend, the old friends he encoun tered in the pool rooms, and others affect the main characters, and yet the viewer is never given the details of their past relationships. The acting was, despite other problems, notably good. Cruise is cute and cocky, but his character makes an ass of himself most of the time. The role was purely adolescent, something not seen from Cruise to this extreme. Apparently his disci pline was marked by his commit ment to learning pool, and Cruise did all but one of the shots in the movie. Newman had only to pick up the character he played in the 1961 movie and develop him 25 years later. He had scenes that were gems, but his rebirth at the end was a bit cliche. His performance is much like those in his other recent films: somewhat tortured and finally triumphant. The two girlfriends were probably the most sympathetic characters in the movie. Felson's girlfriend Janelle (Helen Shaver) was warm and compassionate in her rarely faltering patience with the hustler.

The general problem with Scorsese's films is the difficulty in discerning whether it is the film that is disagree able or the characters he chooses to portray in them. The situations seem to be those that, despite all efforts, do not provoke full-hearted compas sion. "The Color of Money" is worth seeing, but do not be surprised by the indistinguishable flavor that is left at the end. cHar Mwi Advertising help wanted Immediate Opening for 100 plasma donors.
