Dorrance joins effort to put

By Michael Workman

Advocates working to establish
women's soccer in the 1996 Olympics
have asked UNC women's soccer head
coach Anson Dorrance for help.
Jim Cromwell, congressional liaison
for the Women's Soccer Foundation,
sent Dorrance a copy of a proposed
congressional resolution Monday and
asked him to review the draft.
The resolution would support mak
ing women's soccer an Olympic sport.
"He just sent it to me to see if I have
any suggestions,"Dorrance said. 'They
did a pretty good job covering it."
Cromwell said he was pleased with
Dorrance's work as an advocate for
women's soccer and was grateful that

If plans for a downtown develop
ment remainon schedule. Cat 'sCradle
will be forced to relocate this summer,
an agent for the project's planners said
Monday.
Construction is to begin by August
on an $11 million commercial and
residential center that will be located
on the comer of West Franklin, Rose
mary and Church streets, where Cat's
Cradle and its adjoining parking lot
now exist, according to Joe Hakan,
who is working with West Franklin
Preservation Partners.
The partners, who own the prop
erty, will terminate Cat's Cradle's lease
in June or July, Hakan said.
"They're on a month-by-month
lease," he said. "When we're ready to
move on with the project, we'll give
them 30 or 60 days notice."
Antoine Peuch, president of West
Franklin Preservation Partners, said
he intended to work with Cat's Cradle
to find an acceptable new location for
the popular downtown night spot.

Franklin Street and around town that
Basketball walk-ons fulfill every. kid's dream of playing in Carolina blue
By Yl-Hsin Chang
Assistant Features Editor
If you're not an All-American, you
can forget about playing for Dean Smith.
Well, unless you are one of the lucky
two or three selected to walk on the
team each October.
For those few, the dream of playing
in Carolina blue becomes a reality when
they make the cuts to become members
of the famed UNC basketball team.
. This year, only eight players were
invited to try out for the walk-on spots,
and three Jason Burgess, Travis
Stephenson and Larry Smith made
the final cuts.
There is usually only one walk-on
per year at UNC, but the three walk-ons
had better chances this year because

edge of Smith's campus activities.
Smith was allowed back into the pro
cess, was selected by judges to be part
of the Homecoming Court and was cho
sen by students as the Homecoming
queen.
Adam Beck, CAA Homecoming
committee co-chairman, said all candi
dates may be interviewed next fall.
"What we are thinking about doing is
not selecting the people who go to inter
view ourselves, but letting everyone be
interviewed," Beck said. "And having
the decision of who gets on the ballot
left entirely up to the judges."
But Catherine Boney, a member of
the 1991 Homecoming Court, said in
Dorrance was looking at the proposal.
"He's been kind of an adviser, and he
certainly (will) play a key role in the
continuing development of the U.S.
women's national team," Cromwell
said. "I've always kept Anson advised
of what's going on and (sought) his
counsel."
Dorrance coached the 1991 U.S.
women's team to a World Cup title and
the UNC team to nine national champi
onships in 1 0 years. He said he tried to
work to advance women's soccer when
ever he gave speeches or conducted
clinics.
"Every time I do a clinic or speech
somewhere, I push the fact that the
thing that would help women's soccer
the most in this country is if it became
an Olympic sport," Dorrance said. "A

"We are certainly amenable to helping
them find another location."
Pavilion on Franklin, a five-story,
70,000-square-foot project that will re
place Cat's Cradle, will feature upscale
restaurants and retail shops.
. Chapel Hill Mayor Ken Broun said
the Pavilion was a welcome addition to
Chapel Hill that would add commercial
diversity to the town.
Although the project has been on the
drawing board for nearly two years,
: construction was delayed because of
town parking requirements, which were
recently reformed.
"Our biggest obstacle was the high
cost imposed by town requirements for
parking," Peuch said. "When we tried
to recover money through rents, the
rents were too high. It really put a crimp
in our progress."
Until recently, town ordinances re
quired the Pavilion to provide on-site
parking, which would have cost West
Franklin Preservation Partners $2.25
million, Peuch said.
The revised parking ordinance per

Women garner highest offices
in UNC alumni organizations
By Many J. Walsh

Ann Cates and Elizabeth "Pepper"
Dowd were named Saturday to two top
alumni leadership positions, marking
the first time women will hold the posi
tions simultaneously.
Cates will begin a yearlong term in
June as the first woman to serve as
chairman of the Educational Founda
tion Board.
Dowd, a former vice president of the
Board of Trustees, will become the sec
ond woman to lead the General Alumni
Association in June. Rush Henry held
the position in 1976.
Cates and Dowd, both alumni from
the class of 1 953 and members of Delta
Delta Delta sorority, will work together
next year for strong female leadership,
Cates said.
Ernest Williamson, Educational
Foundation director of endowment, said
Cates would benefit the Rams Club.
"She is involved in just about every
thing in Chapel Hill," Williamson said.
"She has a great love for the University
and is very active in athletics."
Cates said she had served as GAA
associate treasurer, vice chancellor of
coach and was told
he could try out for
the team, but no
one showed up to
meet him on the
appointed day. "I
was really gung
ho about (playing
soccer) until the
coach told me to
go somewhere and
didn't show up."
So instead, he

time, he made the team as a shooting

Orange County, chairwoman of the Bi

served on the boards of the Arts and
Sciences Foundation and the School of
Education, she said.
"The thing that interests me the most
is the University," she said. "You just
sort of get drawn into its splendor."
Cates said that she had experienced
being the only woman on committees
and boards but that she never had been
made to feel uncomfortable.
"We did not get these positions with
signs and picketing," she said. "I just
think women have to work harder to get
positions, but I love what I'm doing."
Dowd said she had been named to her
position after a general election by
alumni association members.
"I'd like to think my record speaks
for itself," she said. "Perhaps they
thought I wasqualified even though I'm
a female."
