$950 tuition increase undecided
Would affect in-state students

UNC-Chapel Hill officials are struggling to decide wheth- go to offsetting budget cuts at UNC-system schools.
er they should increase tuition by $950 for in-state students
next fall.
The 2010-11 state budget includes a provision allowing on top of a $200 increase approved by the UNC-Chapel Hill
UNC-system schools to increase tuition by up to $750 next Board of Trustees last year. They are currently reviewing

building bridges?
Students oppose construction
by colleen volz
staff writer
Although UNC students have voiced opposition to
building a pedestrian bridge on campus since its pro-
posal one year ago, the Board of Trustees is still planning
to consider all data with a careful eye.
In April, the capital projects committee of UNC stu-
dent government compiled a 41-page document that
reported the responses received in November from a
campuswide student poll about the bridge, but the Jones
Administration hadn’t acted on the report, leaving it to
her successor to present to the board.
The board will not discuss the report unless it is for-
mally brought forth by a member.
In the survey, nearly nine out of 10 students stated that
the South Road bridge is not a worthwhile investment.
“It’s just a bridge, but people are up in arms about it,”
said Student Body Secretary Ian Lee, co-writer of the report
and co-chairman of the capital projects committee.
Bob Winston III, chairman of the Board of Trustees,
said this was the first time students had created a survey
about any construction project at the University.
A majority of those surveyed voted that they believe
the bridge would be a waste of funding, an unattractive
addition to the heart of campus and an inappropriate way
to increase traffic flow on South Road. More than 1,300
students responded to the survey. Despite such student
disapproval, the board will still consider the plan.
“It’s hard for people who aren’t involved in a day-
to-day basis to have a perspective about this thing,”
Winston said.
“If someone says I don’t think it looks pretty, I don’t
like the look, that’s fine. Everyone has an opinion,” he
said.
Estimates for the cost of the bridge range between $8
million and $9 million. The report states that the bridge
would likely take a decade to complete.
“I don’t know if people in college know what construc-
tion costs for these kind of things,” Winston said.
The bridge would potentially span from the southwest

Comical book benefits UNC

staff writer
Comic books often evoke far-
from-realistic images of heroes,
supervillains and damsels in
distress.
But the inspiration behind UNC
professor John Rogers’ recently
released cartoon book isn’t any of
these — it’s the unique history and
culture that makes the University.
Rogers, an emeritus professor
of geological sciences and long-
time Tar Heel supporter, began
the project as a fundraiser for the
University.
The professor covered the cost
of printing and provided a stipend
for the book’s illustrator.
“That’s out of his pocket entire-
ly and this is just a labor of love,”
said Del Helton, associate director
of donor relations at the Arts and
Sciences Foundation.
Rogers hopes that the book,
which he began writing late last
year, will attract both positive atten-
tion and money for the University.
“UNC as a whole has been very
good to me, and I wanted to do
something back,” he said.
The book provides a glimpse
into University life as informative

The provision was created in response to a $70 million
cut in system funding for next year .

financial aid at system schools. The remaining balance will

The proposed pedestrian bridge would extend across South Road, starting between the

The project would cost an estimated $8 million.

“The big issue with any tuition increase is how to make the
effects to students as harmless as possible,” Carney said.
A major concern is the ability of the University to cover
need-based financial aid to students, Carney said.
Shirley Ort, associate provost and director of scholarships
and student aid, said it is the University’s policy to provide
35 percent of tuition to need-based financial aid — far above
the state-mandated 20 percent. She said they are working
to ensure that students who need financial assistance will

Plans for new homeless
shelter enter next phase
Two more phases
left until approval
by Kelly Poe
City editor
The Chapel Hill Planning
Department formally accepted an
application Tuesday afternoon that
has divided Chapel Hill residents.
The Inter-Faith Council for
Social Service submitted the com-
plete Special Use Permit application
to move its shelter from Rosemary
Street to northern Chapel Hill.
The Inter-Faith Council had to
resubmit the application after the
planning board deemed it incom-
plete on June 21.
The application is the third step
of a five-step process.
“Some people might want to
see this as a punitive process, but
I don’t think it will be,” Inter-Faith
Council Executive Director Chris
Moran said. “We’re doing every-
thing in our power to make this a
great application.”
But some local residents have
a problem with the public process
thus far.

sludge
draws
concern
Water standards
come under fire
By Annie Clark
Staff writer
Environmental groups across
the state are raising a stink over
sludge.
The Blue Ridge Environmental
Defense League in conjunction
with N.C. Sen. Ellie Kinnaird,
D-Orange, held a press conference
June 21 to discuss public health
and the environment, and they are
still waiting for answers.
Some groups argue sludge will
contaminate water unless the state
holds it to stricter standards. They
are calling for a moratorium on
spreading the sludge in the state’s
critical watersheds, which they said
is happening in Orange County.
Orange Water and Sewer
Authority has a 2006 permit that
allows the spreading of sludge,
or biosolids — the solid byprod-
uct that comes from treating dirty
water and sewage — in Orange,
Chatham and Alamance counties.
Some of the permitted sites are
within their respective county’s
defined critical watershed area;
however, they are not within the
area the state defines as a critical
watershed.
The state deems treated sludge
safe to dump in areas cleared by
state permits, but groups including
the league argue that even treated
biosolids — regulated for certain
chemicals — are harmful.
Sue Dayton, coordinator for the
League’s N.C. Healthy Communities
Project, said sludge is harmful
“The potential effects are very
scary,” Dayton said.
The effects of biosolids on

the public process,” said Lisa Ostrom,
a North Forest Hills resident.
“The site has already been cho-
sen. There has been no public pro-
cess to choose the site. We’re strug-
gling. How do we fit in when half
the process is already done?”
A “rigorous” process
The permit process begins when
an applicant meets with the Design
Comission and Town Council and
reviews their concept plan.
Tony Armer, chairman of the
United Church of Chapel Hill Board
of Trustees, signed the submitted
application. The Church’s approval
was required as parts of the shelter
would affect the church’s land.
Armer said he feels the public
was adequately involved.
“I think some people feel they
haven’t been listened to if the peo-
ple they’re talking to don’t agree
with them,” he said. “The people
were listened to, but the IFC didn’t
agree with it.”
Ostrom said residents who oppose
the shelter will use the summer —

July 14 marks the 221st com-

at the beginning of the French

“It was the beginning of the

France, who has lived in Chapel
Hill for the past year and plans to
attend the event.
“Bastille was a symbol of the
monarchy. And by taking it over, it
was like the beginning of the end
for the royalty and for the King.”
Raguin described Bastille Day —
called the 14th of July, or “le qua-

equivalent of the U.S. Fourth of

Carrboroites
want in on
future transit
Citizen group
seeks light rail
by Christine Rheem
intern
Growing support from commu-
nity leaders has sparked discussion
to open Carrboro’s public transpor-
tation system to development.
These efforts are led by Connect
Carrboro, a coalition of citizens
committed to bridging the trans-
portation gap between Carrboro
and the rest of the Triangle.
“Carrboro and west Chapel Hill
are not seamlessly connected to the
regional bus network and are not
featured prominently in the plans
proposed for light rail and bus
rapid transit,” Connect Carrboro
member Rickie White said.
The light rail and bus rapid transit
are a few of the options put forth by a
recent study of Alternatives Analysis.
The light rail would resemble an
above-ground metro system. Bus
rapid transit would provide an extra
lane for buses to improve efficiency.
This study is a crucial step in
Triangle Transit’s Long Range
Transportation Plan that evalu-
ates different public transit options
and their effects. Connect Carrboro
members said being included in this
study is key to extending higher-
order transit to Carrboro.
“It is especially important that
Carrboro be in on the ground floor
of this process as the alternatives
are being introduced,” member
Ben Haven said. “We believe the
beginning of the process will have
the greatest influence in shaping
the discussion and the transit map
moving forward.”
A significant change being dis-
cussed in the Alternatives Analysis
is the addition of the light rail
system to the area. Currently, pro-
posed routes for a light rail do not
extend into Carrboro. This exclu-
sion is a central issue that Connect
Carrboro is looking to change.

“I’m a big advocate

Allan Rosen, Carrboro activist
the rail west to Carrboro,” said
Connect Carrboro member Allan
Rosen. “It will be good in the long
term and studying it now makes
the most sense.”
Proponents of Connect Carrboro
said there is no reason not to want
expanded public transit.
“I think, once you lay out the
reasons to support it, many folks
in Carrboro and Chapel Hill will
do so,” Haven said.
Haven said benefits of a light rail
route to Carrboro include environ-
mental friendliness and a mitiga-
tion of traffic buildup on Franklin
and Main streets and U.S. 15-501.
The creation and extension of
a light rail system into Carrboro
hinges on the question of cost.
“For those that are upset that there
are not currently plans for the light
rail line to extend into Carrboro, the
reason is money,” said Lydia Lavelle,
a member of the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen. “We cannot build every-
thing we want at once.”
Connect Carrboro also wants
to discuss other ways to improve
Carrboro’s transit experience.
“We would still like to see a
Triangle Transit bus line that
extends directly into Carrboro or
west Chapel Hill,” Haven said.
The fate of Carrboro’s public
transportation rests on months of
public hearings and studies. But
Haven said he is still hopeful.
“Time will tell,” he said. “The
more the public is involved in the
process, the more likely we will get
a Carrboro inclusion.”

Citizens will vote “I’m sure there was

by Jonathan michels
staff writer
A tax increase that would bring
light rail to the Triangle could also
stop it in its tracks.
Citizens have until next year to
vote to approve a half-cent sales tax
increase to fund transit projects such
as light rail, but opposition is already
brewing against the measure.
“We will oppose anything that
increases taxes of any kind,” said J.
Russell Capps, president of the Wake
County Taxpayers Association. “They
tax everything already,” Capps said.
For 12 years, Capps served for
Wake County in the N.C. House
of Representatives. He said he’s
never liked the idea of light rail in
the Triangle.
“We have fought it and will con-
tinue to fight it,” he said. “Light rail
is nothing in the world but trying
to keep up with what other cities
are doing.”

Bo Glenn, organizer for Durham-

In 2007, Mecklenburg County
voters approved a similar sales
tax increase that brought light rail
to Charlotte. TTA officials point
to Charlotte’s LYNX Blue Line
as a success story: fast, economi-
cal transportation that could be a
model for the Triangle.
Many other light rail transit plans
have fallen by the wayside because
transportation authorities failed to
convince voters that the technology
was worth paying extra money.
“Yes, there’s a tremendous up-
front expense, but studies show it
is more economical than putting
down highways and all the expense
to owning and operating motor vehi-
cles,” said Bo Glenn, an organizer for
Durham-Orange Friends of Transit.
“I’m sure there was similar resis-
tance when they introduced the car,
but something has to happen.”
Graham said the TTA has learned
from the mistakes of other regions
that failed to successfully promote
sweeping transit plans to voters
wary of tax increases in an economic
recession.
TTA has been holding public
forums since June to inform voters
of transportation options, includ-
ing light rail.
Linda Lyons, a Morrisville Town
Council member, attended a public
meeting Tuesday at the Cary Town
Hall to look at the options.
“I think we do need to do some-
thing about the congestion, because
it’s really bad,” she said.
When asked about the TTA’s light
rail proposal, she shook her head.
“I’m not for that plan. I think
we’re being taxed enough.”

Power plants to
reduce pollution
WASHINGTON (MCT) — The
Environmental Protection Agency
on Tuesday proposed a new fed-
eral plan to reduce the pollution
from electric power plants that
wafts hundreds of miles across
state lines.
The new rule would require
pollution reductions in 31 states
and the District of Columbia —
most of the eastern half of the
U.S., from Texas and Minnesota
to the coast.
To make the cuts, power plants
would be required to install new
equipment or use lower-sulfur
fuels.
The plan is one of the most sig-
nificant steps the EPA has taken
toward cleaning the air for mil-
lions of Americans who live in
areas where the quality of the air
doesn’t meet national standards.
It comes after a federal court
Obama administration urges judge
to block Arizona’s immigration law
WASHINGTON (MCT) — The
Obama administration launched a
legal attack on Arizona’s strict new
immigration law Tuesday, arguing
that only Washington can set the
nation’s rules for arresting illegal
immigrants.
The government said Tuesday
its immigration policy “targets …
dangerous aliens,” including violent
criminals, gang members, drug
traffickers and others “who pose
a danger to the national security
and a risk to public safety” while
Arizona’s law would force officials
to cope with illegal immigrants
who pose no danger.

It adds new weight on the side of

stepped-up enforcement would
lead to racial profiling of Latinos.
The move raises the politi-
cal stakes for the White House.
Obama made no public statement

change was announced in the
middle of a heat wave along the

Carolina to New York.
Smog aggravates asthma and

that when the new plan is in effect

Netanyahu went so far as to
predict that direct peace nego-

and vowed “concrete steps” to
move the process along in a “very

indicated there had been signifi-

Netanyahu said whether the freeze
should remain in place.
As signs of the potential dif-

“tensions and issues there that

Israel did, however, announce

CCL grows organic Wildwood
Offers refreshing
change of tempo
by Linnie Greene
Diversions Editor
In the first few measures of
“Wildwood,” the titular track off of
Chatham County Line’s most recent
album, Dave Wilson declares,
“Don’t mistake me for a wild wood
/A place to run and hide/… I’m not
a place to hang your head/Run
away from yourself.”
It’s a candor that pervades the
album in its entirety, and in a sum-
mer full of lo-fi pretension, Raleigh’s
Chatham County Line is as organic
and refreshing as a dash through a
sprinkler on a July afternoon.
Wildwood is an ideal distillation
of the best Chatham County Line
has offered on past records.
There’s political commentary
in the form of “Ghost of Woody
Guthrie,” which adapts the ‘60s folk
troubadour’s messages to a modern
context. Insightful emotionalism
on tracks like “Alone in New York”
renders heartbreak without revert-
ing to truisms.
But most importantly, there’s an
innate sense of songwriting know-
how — Dave Wilson and company
have crafted a sturdy set of folk
tunes that are instantly gripping
and lastingly memorable.
Where harmonies and melodic
structures might initially seem
obvious, a look beneath each song’s
accessible veneer reveals intricacy
and complexity that extends these
songs’ shelf life.
Sure, there are a few choruses
that any listener can memorize after
a couple of repeats, but Chatham
County Line doesn’t prize simplicity
at the cost of profundity. It’s a wire-
thin line between classic folk tropes

Orange schools prep for cuts
by Alicia banks
staff writer
With a new school year
approaching and no final budget,
Orange County Schools Board of
Education members, teachers and
parents have high hopes for the
upcoming year.
Orange County Schools have
been working around the restraints
of doing “more with less,” a com-
mon phrase highlighting budget
and teacher cuts during the past
academic school years.
On top of budget cuts, the board
faces issues this year ranging from
the county’s own achievement gap
to school renovations.
Although cuts have been an issue,
Orange County Schools board mem-
ber Anne Medenblik, who recently
kept her seat in an election runoff,
advocates for better teachers and
technology.
“I firmly believe in engaging
the community in the schools,”
Medenblik said. “I know, being a
teacher, it doesn’t take very long to
know whether that teacher is hav-

County schools have been
using a program, called Raising
Achievement and Closing the

Teresa Bunner, vice president

Coffey said there are a lot of dif-
ferent needs the school board must
meet.
“It will be difficult for me to
pinpoint one thing for (the board
members) to focus on,” she said.
Medenblik also wants to focus on
school renovations. The county is
on a 10-year capital plan, and with
reduced funding, school safety haz-
ards are a high priority for repairs.
She said Orange High School
has some “rickety” bleachers and
Cedar Ridge High School is faced
with land erosion.
“If you don’t take care of it now,
it will turn into much more con-
cerning issues,” Medenblik said.
Despite economic shortfalls,
Bunner takes comfort in the prog-
ress Gravelly Hill has made.
“We have campus beautification
projects and cleanup,” Bunner said.
“We support the staff in whatever
way we are able to.”

Federal funds to fuel clean energy programs
UNC wants to create more green jobs
by katia martinez
staff writer
T h e U N C E nv i r o n m e n t a l
Finance Center has become part
of a new federal stimulus project
focused on promoting the use of
clean energy.
The U.S. Department of Energy
recently awarded $2.2 million
in funds from the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act
designated for clean energy proj-
ects nationwide.
The center is one of the organi-
zations receiving part of this stimu-
lus funding.

race Fender (foreground) and Molly Fender cheer
for their daughter, Sally, in the baby-crawling
competion that was held at Carrboro’s July Fourth
Celebration on Sunday. “We were hoping for a miracle.
She’s never actually crawled before,” Trace Fender said.
Although it has yet to be deter-
mined what percentage of the
stimulus money the center will
receive, the organization hopes to
use the funding to provide assis-
tance and education to local recip-
ients of the Recovery Act’s Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant, which awarded stimulus
money to state and local clean
energy projects.
“We don’t know how much

said Mar y Tiger, one of the
Environmental Finance Center’s
project directors.

“But no matter what amount it
is, the money will help our pro-
grams. So we are excited about the
stimulus.”
Current development range
from a stormwater ordinance
model in collaboration with local
municipalities and county com-
missioners to a funding model for
an initiative to conserve the Upper
Neuse River Basin watershed.
But stimulus programs would
look at clean energy.
The center looks to use the stim-
ulus money to start new programs
that help communities meet their
goals to use cleaner energy and cre-

Camps develop future athletes
by Jonathan Jones
sports editor
While the North Carolina ath-
letes are enjoying another sum-
mer without practice or games, the
UNC coaches are staying sharp by
hosting their own camps and clin-
ics both on and off campus.
Seventeen UNC head coaches
host their own camps that bring
in kids from the elementary school
age to potential Division-I ath-
letes about to graduate from high
school.
Coaches not only work on funda-
mentals and other nuances of their
individual sports, but also preach
the importance of character.
“Obviously we want to teach
the kids and help develop them
as lacrosse players,” UNC men’s
lacrosse coach Joe Breschi said.
“Initially I think that’s why they
come to camp.
“We in the recruiting process
look for character kids. The mes-
sage is pretty clear: the lacrosse
aspect is why you’re here, the other
things are academics and being a
good person.”
Breschi, who just finished the
first team camp and has two more
camps this summer, said he doesn’t
use the clinics as a recruitment tool,
but he is always on the lookout.
“We’re able to attract kids from
all over the country,” Breschi said.
“There could be a diamond in the
rough somewhere where a young
man could jump up at a young age
and catch our attention.”
UNC women’s soccer coach
Anson Dorrance could not say
the same. The owner of 20 NCAA
national titles, Dorrance said he

“We hope that some of the top
players that we haven’t seen will
come in so we can look at them,”
Dorrance said. “One year, seven of
11 starters on one North Carolina
championship team were former
campers.”
The five-day, four-night College-
Bound Players’ Academy camp for
women’s soccer will be held in late
July for girls ages 12 to 18. The
camp is set up to provide players
“with the skills necessary to become
a highly sought-after collegiate-
level soccer player,” according to
the website.
Currently, Dorrance and his staff
are at Guilford College hosting their
second five-day team camp in July.
“What we’re trying to do is share
with them the choices they have to
make if they want to become elite,”
Dorrance said. “They have to select

discipline and select to believe in

“We tell stories of these great

platforms of athletic greatness.”

include the Roy Williams Carolina

Boycott
of big oil
hits small
businesses
W
hile driving down the
road the other day, I
passed a BP gas station.
I pass them often, but this one
was noticeable.
The gas pumps were tied down
with bright yellow plastic strips,
signs had been removed from the
doors and darkness permeated
the inside.
That’s when it hit me. In
the wake of dark, gushing oil,
dying animals and livelihoods
destroyed: Are we supposed
to buy oil from the company
responsible for a travesty, or do
we support our local businesses?
Such a moral question does
not have a clear-cut answer.
I come from
Lifestyle a family that
COLUMNIST has always
owned their own businesses and
sought to promote others, but
seeing pictures of oil-drenched
animals makes that choice espe-
cially difficult.
I decided to try to contact
local owners to understand what
they are dealing with in this
situation.
Out of the 10 BP gas stations
in Chapel Hill, two are shut
down, and the others barely
talked to me.
I was hung up on twice and
another refused to give me the
last name of the owner. A few
said that they are not locally
owned, but corporately owned.
Only one was able to confirm
that it was locally owned.
Most businesses signed con-
tracts with BP stating they would
only use BP gasoline for the
duration of the contract.
My own searching through
the Internet made the case even
more interesting. Arguments
for each side are strong. Many
people argue BP will not be
affected by a ban, while others
disagree.
Some are wondering whether
their gas dollars are going to
aid the cleanup of the spill and
whether or not that would be a
good thing.
Under these circumstances,
deciding can be difficult.
Not only was I baffled by the
responses from these gas stations,
but their anger made it even hard-
er for me to stay objective.
As I contemplated their
rude responses, I realized their
underlying issue could be fear.
Fear of losing a business, fear of
saying the wrong thing or fear of
a journalist.
Across the country, celebrities
of all forms are banding together
in opposition of BP and in favor
of a boycott. And on a more local
level, a group recently protested
in Durham.
But before we jump on the
bandwagon and agree on our
frustration with BP, let’s take a
step back and ask ourselves who
we are really hurting.
Let’s make sure we aren’t just
finding a scapegoat to take out
our anger on. Don’t just go along
with what other people are doing
or saying if you don’t know your
facts.
As you read this column, oil
continues to gush in the Gulf of
Mexico. White beaches and col-
orful wildlife is being ruined.
But we are not any better than
the problem or the company at
fault if we don’t take the time to
truly understand the impact.
Regardless of the stance you
take, whether you drive by BP or
stop and fill up, make sure you’ve
sorted through the facts first.

Varsity budget blues
Teachers deserve support over scholarship programs
O
ut-of-state UNC ath-
letes and K-12 teach-
ers could unfairly pay
the price of the state budget
announced last week.
The state cut funding for out-
of-state scholarship athletes.
Sources of scholarship fund-
ing, including UNC’s Rams
Club, will now have to cover out-
of-state tuition costs rather than
the in-state rates they were pre-
viously afforded. Yet out-of-state
recipients of the Morehead-Cain
Scholarship will continue to be
covered for in-state tuition.
Affording breaks for scholar-
ship programs looks unseemly
against the backdrop of a budget
that does not make up for 3,700
positions left unfilled in 2010 —

The Development, Relief
and Education for Alien
Minors Act — or DREAM Act
— is a bipartisan act that gives
65,000 undocumented high
school graduates the chance to
earn their residency.
To garner attention for the
act, Viridiana Martinez, UNC
graduate Rosario Lopez and
Loida Silva fasted for two
weeks at a campsite set up in
downtown Raleigh beginning
June 14.

Local nonprofit organization
CLAWS is striking a balance
between hunters and wildlife

The sport of deer hunting
is one of the oldest and most
respected Southern traditions.
Rising deer populations in
many states have bolstered the
sport, encouraging the time-
honored “thrill of the kill”
mentality.
However, wildlife experts

North Carolina’s priority
should be to teachers at the
primary level, rather than

considered cuts to both the
Morehead-Cain and athletic
scholarships simultaneously.
The Morehead-Cain finan-
ciers, however, lobbied hard, and
while the Rams Club and other

Yet Hagan all but ignored

is only interested in the DREAM
Act as a part of comprehensive

The DREAM Act, first intro-
duced in Congress in 2001,
would allow undocumented
immigrant students who came
to the U.S. before the age of 16
to gain residency in exchange
for at least two years of military
service or college.

DREAM Act rewards those
who break the law, it actually

like these are responsible for
many of the risks to the human
population.
CLAWS works to educate
the public on such risks while
rescuing wild animals endan-

The organization is involved
with rehabilitating several spe-
cies of wildlife, including 47 deer

CLAWS founder Kindra
Mammone shares her strong
mission to educate and protect
animals with a balanced support

Mammone justly believes
that hunters hold not only the
responsibility to know the nature
of the animals they hunt, but
the awareness to stay away from
urban areas when hunting.

leadership, academics and extra-
curricular activities — all insti-
tutions of the Carolina Way.
But fundamental learning
begins below the university level.
The state budget should focus
on ensuring the best education
possible to K-12 students.
When teachers are losing their
jobs and salaries, it is unfair to
allow Morehead-Cain Scholars
to pay in-state tuition but deny
the privilege to athletes.
A lower quality K-12 educa-
tion with larger class sizes and
less individualized attention
will diminish the pool of quali-
fied applicants to the UNC sys-
tem, compromising the state’s
commitment to access to high-
er education.
Taxpayers have already
invested in undocumented stu-

to acquire better-paying jobs
and pay more taxes — return-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Motorists and cyclists
need to share the road
TO THE EDITOR:
The Rules of the Road edito-
rial published on July 1 served as
a gentle reminder to the student
and casual bike rider, however, it
does not delve deeply enough into
the reality of cycling in the area.
It is true that North Carolina
law considers a bicycle the same
as a motorized vehicle with the
same rights and responsibilities
to the road, and it behooves the
cyclist to ride predictably with
traffic, observe traffic signals and
signal when appropriate.
(North Carolina law states
that a cyclist must use hand
signals when possible, i.e. when
both hands are not required to
maintain control of the bike.)
However, motorists too often
neglect their responsibilities to
share the road and needlessly
endanger cyclists who are well
within their rights to the road.
All too often this is simply the
result of the car-centric culture
combined with too many mod-
ern distractions and drivers who
simply are unaware that state law
stipulates that motorists must
provide two feet of clearance for
a cyclist at all times and that a
cyclist is entitled to the entire
travel lane.
Thus far, 18 states have
increased this buffer to three
feet and in Europe the standard
is now five feet. Although most
cyclists do stay to the right as
much as possible, there can be
hazards on the shoulder that are
not readily apparent to the motor-
ist such as debris, storm grates or
broken pavement that the cyclist
must avoid and that require them
to use more of the road than may
be convenient for the motorist for
a brief period of time.
The vast majority of motor-
ists in the area are accommo-
dating to cyclists and hopefully
do understand that cycling for
many is a choice for those who
wish to reduce their reliance on
fossil fuels and stay in shape.
For cyclists taking to the road,
please set a good example. Ride
with traffic, use hand signals when
appropriate, make eye contact
with motorists so they will know
your intentions, and you will know
that they see you. Wear bright col-
ors and make use of lights.
All we ask of motorists is a few
feet and a little patience.

The Daily Tar Heel
after the UNC Board of Trustees
authorized the Rams Club’s $70
million destruction/expansion
of Kenan Stadium, “recent leg-
islation cut in-state funding for
out-of-state scholarship student-
athletes at all 16 UNC-system
universities, with UNC bearing
the brunt of these cuts” landed
at the door of the Rams Club
(“Rams Club faces state budget
cuts,” June 30).
While it is impossible to save
the noble trees at the east end of
the stadium surrounding Kenan
Field house, it was at least hoped
that administrators would have
foreseen the wisdom in retaining
the timber rights for marketing
these doomed specimen oaks and
pines through the General Alumni
Association with the proceeds
funding campus landscaping.
A Historic Timber
Commission that could manage
the disposal and distribution of
timber from significant trees that
are vanishing from the historic
campus — at an alarming rate
in recent years — is an idea that
always dies when it falls down
to the staff level where someone
could actually take responsibility
for something more than hauling
off these trees to the wood pile.
How much money could be
raised for athletic scholarships if
this timber were marketed prop-
erly? I am certain the Council of
State would grant the board a
waver for such fundraising with
“state property” rather than allow
it to be discarded and handed
over to the building contractors
as is the current practice.
Since the boosters will now
have to pony up more money
to fund out-of-state athletes,
it would seem that those trees,
which once gave Kenan Stadium
the title of “College Football’s
Most Beautiful Setting” could
offer their final gift from green
leaves to greenbacks.
