The Daily Tar HeelFriday, April 24, 19923 What to do, what to do: It's summer! Work? Play? Travel? Veg? Study?!? The opportunities of summer are boundless. But members of the UNC community eventually must decide what they will do this summer. Anthony Jaffe, a freshman from Wilmington, said he planned to head south of the equator. "I'm going to work in New Zealand," " Jaffe said. "It'll be in the 50s every day because it's winter there." Jaffe said he did realize that New Zealand had 3 million people and 60 million sheep. : Leigh Hudspeth, a freshman from Winston-Salem, said she intended to indulge in typical summer activities. "I'll be working and hanging out at the pool," she said. These activities pale in comparison to the seniors who must now enter the real world or at least graduate school. Amy Davis, a senior from Gastonia, is one of the brave students who are forced to leave the confines of UNC. "Hopefully, I'll have a job," Davis said. "I've got a few contacts but noth ing definite." ;Dormitoriesclose May 4, but seniors may stay until commencement, which is May 10. Speaker search begins for Bicentennial class The search for the 1994 graduation speaker already has commenced. ( Kevin Moran, chairman of the Stu dent Bicentennial Planning Commit tee, said his group was trying to compile a list of possible speakers for com mencement exercises on May 8, 1994. "We are trying to get a feel for who sophomores want for their graduation speaker," Moran said. , The committee is considering inter nationally known humanitarians such as Nelson Mandela, Terry Waite, Jeane Kjrkpatrick, Jimmy Carter and Javier Parez de Cueilar. ! Moran said that if students wished to make suggestions for a speaker should write to the Bicentennial Planning Com mittee at Campus Box 5210, Carolina Union, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-5210.

MCLEAN Hf97 MACHINE J8S West Main Street, Carrboro rtni n f Grad student wins T-shirt case By Maricla Moye Staff Writer A University graduate student won an appeal Monday in a federal court case Anheuser-Busch brought against him alleging that he misused the company's logo on T-shirts he had de signed in 1989. John Michael Berard was sued in 1990 by Anheuser-Busch beer com pany for trademark infringement. Wings, a main distributor of Berard's T-shirts, also was sued by the company. The shirt pictures a bottle resembling the label of Budweiser beer. The shirt says "Myrtle Beach, the King of the Beaches" on the front and "This beach Kilpatrick: Perot might mix things up By Steve Politl University Editor Texas billionaire H. Ross Perot's candidacy could make this year's presidential election "the happiest thing that has come along for the news paper business since Andrew Jack son," columnist James Kilpatrick told journalism students Thursday. Kilpatrick, the hard-nosed conser vative whose columns appear in about 500 newspapers across the country, said he had thought voters would con vincingly re-elect President Bush un til Perot entered the picture, "Now there's an outside chance that Ross Perot will mess things up," he said. "This could be wonderful. It could be chaos." If Perot's candidacy takes enough electoral votes away from the other candidates so that no one receives the majority needed to win the election, the House of Representative would decide the election. Each state would get one vote in the process, causing chaos in politically deadlocked states. But he added that Perot probably wouldn't effect the election. History has shown that third-party candidates don't finish well, he said. "I'll retreat and say Bush will win again," he said. "The attention span for the American people is somewhere in the neighborhood of one minute and 15 seconds. Most people think a Auto break-ins might be drug-related, police say By Kelly Ryan Staff Writer Nine automobiles were broken into earlier this week, and Chapel Hill po lice suspect the crimes were committed by people seeking money for illegal drugs. Five cars were broken into Tuesday night while parked in the parking lot of Pinegate Apartments, reports state. In most instances, the car windows were shattered, causing approximately $200 worth of damage. Miscellaneous items were stolen from most of the cars, but in some cases, nothing was removed from the vehicles. "Usually in acase like this, it's some thing drug-related," said Chapel Hill interim policeChief Ralph Pendergraph. "It's people looking for loose change." Pendergraph said incidents like this caused vehicle owners aggravation be cause the victims must pay for damages even if nothing is stolen. 'The major thing about this kind of crime is that damage is greater than the loss due to larceny, he said. About 30 vehicle break-ins, similar Former Campus Y president wins first Sonja Stone award By Megan Brown Staff Writer The executive committee of the Cam pus Y will present the first Sonja Haynes Stone Award today at its end-of-the-year celebration. The award will go to former Presi is for you" on the back. A 12-member jury ruled in Berard's favor, but the judge presiding over the case later overturned the verdict. Berard appealed the verdict, and the case went to the N.C. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. Berard won by a 2-1 vote at the appellate level but said he expected Anheuser to appeal to either a federal court of appeals or to the Supreme Court. Paul Thiemann, a representative for Anheuser-Busch, indicated the com pany could pursue this issue through further litigation. "Anheuser-Busch will take whatever measures necessary to ensure that its trademark is protected from the infringe ment of others," he said. vote for Perot would be a vote thrown away." Readers are very selective about what political stories they read in news papers, Kilpatrick said. "The print media promotes more stories about this campaign than our readers can absorb," he said. "And people just don't read it." "I don't think Perot is going to do much in November," Kilpatrick said. "Though I could be quite wrong. I've never been wrong before, but I could be wrong on this one." The 71 -year-old Kilpatrick, hold ing a knotted-wood cane and wearing a wrinkled gray suit, sat on the Howell Hall lecture room stage answering questions for more than an hour. He also spoke Thursday night during a fund-raiser to benefit The UNC Hos pitals Program on Childhood Trauma and Maltreatment. When asked about N.C. politics, Kilpatrick praised Sen. Jesse Helms, "I like Jesse," he said. "Jesse is a very valuable member of the Senate. He's an excellent parliamentarian." ; : : Kilpatrick said the media mis handled the coverage of Arthur Ashe and his announcement that he had AIDS. "I would have not run that story at all. Arthur Ashe is no longer a public figure; he is aprivate citizen. I thought it was cruel and unnecessary. That was a bad chapter for newspapers." to the Pinegate incidents, have occurred since the beginning of the year. Police patrol residential areas such as the apartment complex, but residents whocomeandgoat odd times of the day provide the most effective community watch, Pendergraph said. Police reported that no suspects had been identified in connection with the break-ins. According to police reports, the Pinegate robberies occurred between 8 p.m. Tuesday and 7 a.m. Wednesday. No items were removed from a 1988 Ford Mustang, a 1988 Toyota Tercel and a vehicle belonging to a UNC student after their right front win dows were broken. A convertible was broken into through its top, according to reports. Miscellaneous items totaling $75 were taken, reports state. Items worth $65 were removed through the shattered window of a 1 98 1 Mazda, police reports state. Four similar incidents occurred in Chapel Hill Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, according to po lice reports. dent Heather Lynch, who brought a "unique vision" to the Campus Y, said Campus Y Co-president Elizabeth Kolb.

"I have very frequent inquiries once a month about this type of infringe ment," she continued. "But rarely does the little guy go to court to challenge the big guy because big business has so much influence and power money. Most cases don't get to the Fourth Circuit because litigation is so expensive." Jack Hevy, Wings general manager, agreed. "We are just ready to put this situation behind us. We have already Weekend festivals offer breaks from exam stress By Julie Flick Staff Writer If sunshine and spring fever aren't enough to distract students from study ing this weekend, two local festivals also might lure students out to the streets. Apple Chill Apple Chill, a 20-year-old Chapel Hill tradition, will be held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday on Franklin Street. "It's a community celebration that focuses on arts and crafts and music. There will be some international food as well," said Carol Walborn, arts and events specialist for the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department, which sponsors Apple Chill. "The difference between Apple Chill and (other) local street fairs is that Apple Chill is a showcase for local talent," she said. Walbom said she expected 20,000 to 25,000 people to attend the celebration Sunday. Vendors and exhibitions from around the state are expected at the festival, Walborn said. All 168 vending booths available for Apple Chill have been reserved, and about 15 entertainment groups will perform, she said. Most of the booths are reserved for Orange County and Chapel Hill resi dents, Walborn said. Food will be sold at 10 booths, and 10 booths will be reserved for town- Shelter seeks summer By Kim Cable Staff Writer The Animal Shelter of Orange County boasts one of the best pet adoption rates in the country because of its mandatory spaying and neuter ing program, shelter officials said. Barbara Long, the shelter's man ager, said the shelter took in 7,084 animals last year and 1,560 were adopted. The shelter's adoption rate is excel lent compared to the national average, she said. Adopted animals must be spayed or neutered. The procedure costs $75 for dogs and $49 for cats. Long said the shelter worked with pet owners to make the cost more affordable. The shelter's volunteers also con tribute to its adoption rate, she said. "We have volunteers from different backgrounds who can use their talents to help us," Long said. "We're able to provide a much higher level of service than our budget allows us to." Twenty animals are taken to the shelter every day, and 100 animals stay at the shelter daily, she said. Campus Y Director Zenobia Hatcher Wilson said the mission statement, "The pursuit of social justice through the cultivation of pluralism," advocated active diversity. "It was Heather's foresight that brought us together with the (Black Student Movement) and brought the round trips starting at MOSCOW TOKYO SYDNEY CARACAS $838 849 844 504 feu OS spent well over $200,000 dollars in liti gation." Laura Gasaway, a law professor who specializes in trademark and copyright la w, said Anheuser-B usch had no choice but to pursue this case. "They have to protect their trade mark, because if they don't, it would no longer be distinctive," Gasaway said. "It would simply decrease the commer cial value of their product." Gasaway said it was very possible that the Supreme Court would decide to hear the case. "The Supreme Court has never heard a case like this before, and they like to take these types of cases for the sake of making a first impression on the Ameri sponsored departments, such as the Re cycling Department and Filmmakers, she said. Filmmakers is a year-old orga nization of amateur and professional film makers that holds workshops and produces screen works for fun. This year, for the first time, Apple Chill will be recorded on video tape by the Filmmakers, Walborn said. The Apple Chill festival was born from the efforts of local high school students who wanted to display their work, Walborn said. The name for the festival was coined when a young child of a previous Apple Chill coordinator said "Apple Chill" instead of "Chapel Hill." Walbom said she realized that Uni versity exams began one day after the festival, but this year's festival had been scheduled for later than usual because of Easter. "It is always on the third weekend in April, unless that Sunday is Easter Sun day," Walborn said. Franklin Street will be roped off from Columbia Street to Raleigh Street be tween 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. Sunday, Walborn said. The streets will be closed to all traf fic, but Rosemary Street will be open, she said. Plutopia, Kingfish, the Apple Chill Cloggers with Lightning Cider and the Drop-In Gospel Choir are among the groups scheduled to perform at Apple Chill. 4 - ,T ; ' it An animal shelter volunteer Fifty-eight percent of the animals taken to the shelter last year were put to sleep. The shelter is seeking volunteers for whole housekeepers' movement to the forefront," Hatcher-Wilson said. "We remember Dr. Stone as being on the forefront of the movement and as listening to others and helping them to come along with her vision," she said. "It is timely that the first award named after Dr. Stone be given to Heather." BAIVDS ARE BACK AT HE'S WW HERE on the village green.
