Well, suffer no more. Chapel Hill students can entertain themselves at Ackland Art Museum, Morehead Planetarium or the N.C. Museum of Life and Science with their activities, festivals, programs and ex hibits offered this fall. Ackland will be hosting several ex hibits of aesthetic and informational appeal. "Re'eh," part of the Hebrew lan guage, is the name of a collection of collages on the Holocaust by Irwin Kremen, which will be showing at Crime from page 1 "We are sitting on a powder keg. It is not confined to one area of this commu nity. It goes across the community," Wilkerson said. Most task-force members agreed that more alternatives for teenagers are nec essary to improve the downtown atmo sphere. Several incidents this summer, including a shoot-out on West Franklin Street, involved local teens. Orange-Chatham District Attorney Carl Fox, a member of the task force, lashed out at residents opposed to skate board ramps and community parks and said they should realize the importance of keeping teens off the streets. In the past, neighborhood associations have opposed planned skateboard ramps and parks, claiming they created noise and traffic problems for residents. "It's a community," Fox said. "There's supposed to be some give and take. People need to live together. If we want to enforce drug laws, it's got to be put up or shut up." fill's frm 3 hanging out on the street breaking things." Chapel Hill Police Department of ficers are aware that the extra drinking hour could mean larger crowds at night but have not made arrangements to have more patrols on Franklin Street at night because of the new law, Captain Gregg Jarvies said. "Cold weather has always had a greater impact on crowd size than any thing," Jarvies said. "We don't antici pate problems because of the later busi ness hour, and other than occasional slight alterations, no staff changes are in the works." The later closing hour has found fa vor among UNC students. "I agree with (the law)," said sopho more business major Lisa Aiken. "In fact, I thHllyt should be later than two." Plans for providing "Seconds, Please!" at Chase for South Campus residents who purchased the new meal plan will be finalized by the end of the week, Derby said. "Early comments are that the people from South Campus that have signed up for the plan are not terribly excited about the walk back and forth to Lenoir." Carolina Dining Services also plans to serve more vegetarian meals based on a proposal from the Wellness Re source Center. "We're bound to a vegetarian entree at each meal, lunch and dinner," Derby said. "We hope to attain that real soon." Also, Pepsi-Cola soft drinks have largely replaced Coca-Cola products at Lenoir and Chase, although Coke and Diet Coke will be available at both, Derby said. Coca-Cola products still are available in Union Station, he said. BfOWll from page 4 interest and said Monday night, "I think, at this point in time, the man's just desperate." Besides Clement, Council member Betsy Robb was the only other member to vocally support Brown's resignation at the meeting. "It had been my fervent hope that Dr. Brown would see fit to resign before this tension-filled meet ing had to take place," she said. Council member Diane Wright in troduced a motion for an alternative resolution to the one that passed, one that would have censured the actions of Brown, and one more negative than the reprimand that passed. However, she urged the council to limit the basis of its action to the double-billings and said she thought it would be improper for the council to ask Brown to resign. "I have compassion for anyone who is beleaguered by so many public accu sations, and I also recognize that there is an insidious racist nature to this attack," Wright said. She asked the council to "keep in mind the narrow scope of the council's authority, and rightly so." "I would remind everybody that all of the allegations, rumors and innuen dos are still largely unproven," Wright said. "Nothing the council does precludes the option of mounting a recall effort, and if your conscience leads you in that direction, that's certainly your preroga tive." Brown first became a prominent news item when he was stabbed outside his home May 20. Ten days later, he mys teriously asked the Durham Police De partment to call off its investigation of the matter. Durham police chief Trevor Hamp ton said Wednesday that his department would not reopen its investigation into Brown's stabbing. Brown met with Durham Detective Darrell Dowdy ear lier this week to discuss the possible reopening. Ackland Sept. 22 through Nov. 24.
