In a victory speech in New York,
Clinton depicted himself as an apostle

He took aim at President Bush and

Milton's Clothing Cupboard, a
men's clothing store that has been
located on East Franklin Street for 40
years, won't be welcoming alumni
back this football season.
Milton's will close its 163 E.
Franklin St. store sometime in July,
and store owner Milton Julian said in
Tuesday press conference that he
hoped to relocate by the fall.
Julian said he planned to move his
store to a location where success would
be more economically feasible.
"Do wntown is blessed with plethora
of nice eating establishments, but re
tail has gone in a different direction,"
Julian said in a press release. "Hence,
Milton's does not fit into this picture
inthe'90's."
-Julian, who opened his store in
spring 1951, said he had seen three
generations of University students.
Julian said he had no choice but to
move his store. His decision tp move
was based on poor sales last summer
and fall, he said.
John Johnson, CGLA treasurer, said
he thought the large turnout was benef" ,
cial in that the CGLA was able to ex
press that they would not tolerate
homophobic activity anymore.
"We need to show people we are not
alone in our efforts and that we do have
support, and the issues we're fighting
for don't just affect us, they affect ev
erybody," he said.
CGLA Office Coordinator Bob
G arris said it was time forcampus groups
to publicly support the CGLA.
"It was really great to see so many
organizations together like that," he said.

concerned about
visitation option
By Shannon Crownover
Staff Writer
Faculty members of the Housing
Advisory Board expressed concern
Tuesday about the protection of room
mates' rights if residents of a dormitory
floor approve a policy allowing unlim
ited visitation.
A proposal to change the University's
visitation policy would allow on-cam-pus
residents to choose on a floor-by-floor
basis from three visitation op
tions. The proposed changes did not re
ceive the approval needed from the board
because some members asked why a
stronger roommates' rights policy
wasn't included as part of the option
that would allow unrestricted visita
tion. Jean DeSaix, a biology professor and
advisory board member, said residents
should have veto powerover their floor's
decision on the visitation policy.
"Roommates ought to have veto
power if having another person in their
room all the time is disturbing them,"
she said.
Melinda Meade, a geography profes
sor and advisory member, agreed with
DeSaix, adding that roommates should

he would miss Milton's, but added that

"I don't know where I'm going to

Losing something like Milton's is a
setback, but we can move on."

President Joel Harper said losing
Milton's would not cause economic
stress downtown..
"The departure of the store will cause
more of an emotional impact than an

he said. "The loss won't have that much

been to bring together a lot of different
groups on campus to work for social
justice," he said. "I think over the long

foundation of a lot of cooperation."

Nick Franzese, Housing Advisory

policy, they would have to discuss it
with their roommates and resident as
sistants. "It would be recognized as a room
mate conflict that the RA and area di
rector would deal with," Franzese said.
"As a last resort, (the resident) could
change rooms."
But Franzese said a floor's visitation

downtown business climate was suf

added that he thought business would
improve.
"The thing about Chapel Hill is that
it's one of those areas that stays up and

Woodard added that national

Franklin Street would both hurt and

"Naturally, it hurts small busi

about leaving downtown.
"The local populous thinks things
