Car crashes into front
of convenience store
on Jones Ferry Road
By Andrew CUne
Staff Writer
The Pantry on Jones Ferry Road in
Carrboro got free air conditioning last
night when a man drove a 1978
Chevrolet Chevette into the store's front
doors, shattering glass and partially
entering the store.
"I thought he was going to stop, but
he didn't," said Traci Swanson, a Uni
versity senior who was working at The
Pantry.
Dannie Bernard Romes, of 802 Davie
Road, Carrboro, drove the Chevette into
the store while attempting to park in the
space directly in front of the doors,
according to a Carrboro police report.
"He was up on the red carpet,"
Swanson said.
According to the report, Romes said
the car's gear shift came off and the
brakes failed to work correctly when he
attempted to stop.
Romes backed the car out of the store
and into the parking space, Swanson
said. Romes then came into the store,
made a purchase and tried to leave,
saying he was in a hurry and had to go,
Swanson said.
"He actually did buy something,"

Town residents petitioned the Chapel

Martha Drake, who spoke to the coun

said the program would be economical
for the town.
"The Green Lights would replace the
incandescent lights, last 13 times as

Romes ended up staying at The Pan

said.
Police charged Romes with driving

Alcohol was involved in the inci

had not been charged with an alcohol
related violation by Tuesday.
A customer standing in front of the
doors was almost hit but ended up being
sprayed with flying glass.
Swanson said the glass flew all over
the entrance of the store.
"It was up on the counter, it was in the
Hershey things," she said.
Chris Barton, manager of The Pan
try, said the safety glass in the doors
might have saved the customer from
injury.
"It would have exploded inward if it
weren't safety glass," Barton said.
Barton said the door frames would
cost approximately $900 to replace. He
also said the glass would cost a few

estimate given by Rice's Glass.

Lawyer: End racism to save humanity
By Jon Whisenant
Staff Writer
Americans must end racism, or the
continued rift between white and black,
rich and poor, and haves and have
nots will destroy humanity, said
Patricia Russell-McCloud, Atlanta
lawyer and professional orator, dur
ing a Tuesday night lecture.
Her speech was part of UNC's 1 1th
Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Birth
day Celebration, and her words were
reminiscent of those of the slain civil
rights leader.
"We are those who must work to
gether as brothers and sisters, or we
will surely die together as fools,"
Russell-McCloud said.
Russell-McCloud advised the au
dience of University faculty, staff and
students to "seize the day" and gave
them words of encouragement to work
for the good of mankind through cul
tural harmony and appreciation.
'Today is the only day we have,"
she said. "The past is gone. We cannot
reclaim it. The future is ours if we
have the strength to grasp it, and unity
is ours if we only express it.
"Being a man or a woman is a
matter of birth. Being a man or woman
who made a difference is a matter of
choice and strength."
She also used Hie work of King and
his contemporaries as examples of
this strength.

A University alumnus and former
co-president of the Carolina Gay and
Lesbian Association died last week of
an AIDS-related illness.
Greg Johnson, 28, died Tuesday
morning in Durham of kidney failure. A
1987 graduate, Johnson was diagnosed
as being HIV-positive five years ago.
Mark Hipps, Johnson's boyfriend,
said Johnson had been sick for about
two months. "He has known he was
HIV-positive since 1986, but he had no
serious symptoms until November,"
Hipps said. "It was all very sudden."

Participation in Green Lights has no

Mast is working on a doctorate in
mathematics. A native of South Bend,
Ind., she earned her undergraduate de

She graduated with a double major in
math and anthropology.
Mast plans to become a professor at
a college or university after earning her
degree.
Mast wanted to attend graduate
school at UNC because of the school's
friendly faculty, she said.
She has been a teaching assistant for
about five years and said it was nice to
receive more public recognition for her
teaching abilities.
The plight of young black men in
America is increasing quickly,
Russell-McCloud added.
"The black boy today is an endan
gered species," she said. "He has a
one-:n 684 chance of becoming a phy
sician, and a one-in-94 chance of be
coming a teacher ... while that same
black boy has a one-in-f our chance of
becoming a dropout and a two-in-five
chance of becoming an alcohol abuser.

Corcoran said.
Robert Kwartin, director of the Green
Lights, said he thought the program's
popularity was surprising. "(The popu
larity) was far beyondmy expectations."
Corcoran said Green Lights program
mers asked cities to agree to replace the
lights in 90 percent of their buildings
with Green Lights if the city would
profit.
"This program is a voluntary lighting-efficient
program where major cor
porations and state governments up
grade their buildings," she said.
The entire light fixture has to be
replaced, and more light is let in by the
Green Lights.
