Some UNC students who commute
to campus daily are finding fewer
parking spaces available on McCauley
Street after a resident's complaint
prompted Chapel Hill officials to re
move many of the spaces there.
According to Chapel Hill engineer

Students who were discouraged from
studying abroad because of the Persian
Gulf War have time to reconsider their
decisions.
The UNC Study Abroad Office is
extending the deadline for applications
to the end of March.
Judith Tilson, study abroad officer,
said the Study Abroad Office extended
the March 1 deadline until the end of the
month to give students more time to
investigate study abroad options. The
Study Abroad Office is in Caldwell
Hall.
Fewer students have completed study
abroad applications this year, Tilson
said. Last year 225 students studied
abroad, but the office has only received
only 1 27 applications this year, she said.
Ritchie Kendall, associate professor
of English, said his experience as a
resident director of the London School
of Economics program showed him that
studying abroad was a valuable expe
rience for students.
"As a result of the experience, I have
become a real advocate of study abroad.
I think both academically and socially it
is an enriching experience," Kendall
said. "I think it is particularly valuable
for North Carolina students whose
boundaries are often the state limits. It

Tilson explained the reality behind
five common assumptions about
studying abroad:
a Students don't have to be rich to
study abroad. Financial aid is available
for many students, she said.
"In some cases it costs less to study
abroad than to go here, especially for
out-of-state students," Tilson said.
Students don't need to be juniors
to study abroad. Sophomores and seniors
also can participate in the programs.
Students don't need a 3.0 grade
point average to study abroad.
"There are G.P. A. requirements, but
it is not necessarily a 3.0. In most cases
it is not a 3.0," she said.

Taylor said.
After reviewing the ordinance, of
ficials concluded that the parking on the
dirt section of McCauley Street needed
to be removed, Taylor said.
"(Parking spaces) did need to be taken
off because there is supposed to be two
way traffic (on McCauley Street), and
when you have cars parked on one side
of that section, it impedes two-way
traffic," he said.
But for students who already have a

Maria Bryan, study abroad program
coordinator, said international study had
changed some students' lives.
"The biggest benefit is the change in
students when they come back," she
said. "They have a broader view of the
world and themselves. They are also
more responsible in general."

"It was the best three months of my

advantages of learning a new culture

the obvious benefits of learning a lan

landfill site is chosen.
The Orange Regional Landfill
Owners' Group started the Orange Re
gional Solid Waste News, a newsletter
that will be published three times a year
and will cover recycling, landfilling,
solid waste planning, and education and
outreach.
The Landfill Search Committe has
chosen 15 candidate sites for the new
landfill, said Edward Mann Jr., chair
man of the committee. "There is a lot of
fear of the landfill in the community.
"The county needs a site at least 300
acres and not more than 500 acres,"
Mann said. "It can't be too close to
towns and has to comply with federal,
state and local laws."
Some residents fear that a landfill
will endanger the quality of life and
property values, Mann said. "Most of
these fears are unfounded," he said.
"The landfill will be sanitary and people
who live near it will still be able to let
their children go out and play. A lot of
these fears are due to a lack of knowl
edge and information."
The League of Women Voters will
hold an educational forum on solid waste
March 1 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the community
room of the Orange Water and Sewer
Authority. The forum will address local
solid waste regulations, recycling and
the cost of the landfill to citizens.

difficult time finding parking spots, the
loss of spaces on McCauley Street will
be a big problem, said UNC commuter
student Fraser Smith.
The town has removed about 30
parking spaces by placing no parking
signs along the road, Smith said. He
first noticed the change two weeks ago.
"I just don't think they're thinking
clearly," Smith said. "People arrive at
the parking spaces 15 minutes before
the posted time and risk getting chased
off by the police just to get a good park."

Urban life

Many African-American men are
dead or in prison now, which leaves
only one African-American man
available for every three African
American women available, said
Kathleen Harris, a UNC sociology
professor.
"It's not a black phenomenon; it's
an urban phenomenon," she said.
Deteriorating urban areas, which
consist of mostly African-American
populations, have increased the gap in
mortality and drug use between Afri
can Americans and whites, she said.
Industry has moved out of these areas,
and unemployment among African
Americans has increased, Harris said.
The men then turn to what Harris
called an "underground economy,"
which includes selling drugs.
When the inner-city economy
buckled, many of the middle class role
models left the city, she said. Unem
ployed African-American men become
isolated from the mainstream society
and often lack information about
available jobs.
Sonja Stone, an associate professor
of African and Afro-American Stud
ies, said the decline in urban areas
wasn't the only problem. African
American men have been seen as
economically expendable, she said.
"Black men have always been the
last hired and the first fired," she said.
Audreye Johnson, an associate
professor in the School of Social Work,
said the high mortality rates of African
American men stemmed as much from

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro school
board will discuss tonight the possibil
ity of sending an elementary school
teacher to .Ohio State University for
training in the Reading Recovery Pro
gram. Reading Recovery is an accelerated
program for first graders. The program
builds on students' reading abilities,
said Pat Bowers, Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Schools science, mathematics and
reading coordinator.
Barbara Lawler, principal of Seawell
Elementary School, said "(Reading
Recovery) looks like it's well worth
looking into."
Bowers said Ohio State published
results that showed Reading Recovery
taught students how to read and main
tain a constant progression in reading.
Students involved in the program rarely
return in later years for further tutoring,
she said.
The biggest difference in Reading
Recovery and the present system in
local elementary schools is the one-on-one
aspect, she said.

parking may be removed from
McCauley Street, Taylor said.
"We are going to poll the neighbor
hood to see what they want to do as far
as the parking positions on the street,"
Taylor said.
The poll will take about a month to
complete when started, Taylor said.
An agenda for consideration by the
Chapel Hill Town Council will be pre
pared after the poll results are tabulated.
The council's examination of the situ
ation will take about three more weeks
to complete, he said.
The entire process may take two

African Americans die from stress-related
heart problems, she said.
"These are diseases which run ram
pant, and when you don't have money,
your health is the last thing to be dealt
with," she said.
The absence of African-American
men in the work force has left African
American women to work and raise
children alone.
According to 1988 Bureau of Labor
Statistics figures, black women compose
19 percent of single women, but 59
percent of all single mothers.
Census statistics for March 1988
showed that about 59 percent of all
black families withchildren under 18
were headed by single parents, but only
22 percent of white families were.
Women also earn less than men. The
average salary in 1 988 for a woman was
$11,989, compared to $23,919 for a
man.
Teen-age pregnancy rates also have
increased, and teen-age mothers are now
less likely to get married than before.
Fifty percent of Hispanic and non
Hispanic white teen-age mothers were
not married in 1 988. Ninety-five percent
of all black teen-age mothers were un
married the same year.
But Harris said these statistics show
that fewer teenagers are getting married,
not that more are getting pregnant.
These increased out-of-wedlock
births occur in black and white popu
lations, she said.
"Among blacks, out-of-wedlock
childbirth has always been common,"
she said. "But recently the rates have
increased dramatically for whites. And
consider new reading program
schools attend reading help sessions in
small groups with a teacher, she said.
But in the Reading Recovery Program,
one teacher would work with one stu
dent for 30 minutes a day, five days a
week, for an average of 10 to 12 weeks.
Because teachers would work with
students individually, teachers could
capitalize on each student's strengths
and weaknesses, she said.
When students are in kindergarten,
they take a series of diagnostic tests, she
said. If the school board adopts the
Reading Recovery program, students
who earn the lowest scores on the di
agnostic tests would enter the program
in the first grade, she said.
If the board approves the program
proposal, a local teacher would attend
Ohio State for one year of training,
Bowers said. Upon returning, the teacher
would train approximately two teachers
from each local elementary school for
the program, she said.
Although the training takes one year
to complete, teachers would work with
students during the training period, she
said. The program could possibly begin
in the fall of 1992, she said.
David Lyons, principal of Glenwood
Elementary, said he was interested in
exploring the program, but was con
cerned about older students ineligible
for the program who need reading help.
"We are concerned about children
we continue to serve other than those in
grade one," Lyons said.

Commuter students should write the
mayor and council and tell them of the
need for parking, Smith said.
"(Students) should tell them 'we want
parking back'," he said.
The town received complaints from
McCauley Street residents two or three
years ago and made changes in the
parking procedure by restricting park
ing in the morning and allowing it in the
afternoon, Taylor said.
"It's not an unusual occurrence,"
Taylor said. "We remove parking all
the time."
as a result, they've gotten a lot of
public attention."
Johnson said marriage was not al
ways considered the best action in the
case of pregnancy, and therefore
marriage rates have not kept pace
with pregnancy rates.
"There's too much concern about
pathology," she said. "African
Americans continue to be family
oriented. And over 50 percent of the
families are intact."
Stone said teen-age girls should
stay in school and make their children
their top priority. Premarital sex has
become glamorized, she said.
"I think society has a more per
missive attitude about sex than there
was when I was a teenager," Stone
said.
Harris said there probably would
not be any economic booms in the
1990s, and therefore probably no in
crease in jobs in the cities.
Anne Hastings, a sociology lec
turer, said she thought conditions
would deteriorate to the point that
African Americans would try to
change them.
"Finally there will be a grassroots
approach," she said. "Black families
will try to change things themselves
sooneror later instead of letting policy
makers decide for them."
Harris said many people still be
lieve stereotypes about African
Americans.
"I think people are aware of the
problem," she said. "I don't think
people are aware of the reasons for
the problem."
resources may be pulled from other
scholastic programs, he said. But stu
dents who would not benefit from the
Reading Recovery program should not
suffer cutbacks in existing programs, he
said.
Most teachers involved in discussing
the program thus far have been first
grade and kindergarten teachers, Lyons
said. But future discussions should ex
pand to involve more teachers who teach
older students.
Dale Minge, assistant principal of
Estes Hills Elementary School, said he
was concerned about losing a teaching
position for a year.
Estes Hills has not yet committed to
Reading Recovery, but school officials
have committed to supporting the
teacher who is sent, Minge said.
Specific details have not been worked
out, but older students who would not
be able to participate in Reading Re
covery should continue to receive tu
toring under the present system, said
Settle Womble, assistant principal at
Carrboro Elementary School.
"We are very comfortable with
(Reading Recovery)," Womble said. "I
think the claims are very positive."
Bowers said Reading Recovery was
founded and developed in New Zealand. .
Ohio State was first to introduce the
program in the United States.
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro school
board will meet tonight at 7 p.m. at
