Two tornado warnings Tuesday gave University officials and studentsa chance to see Alert Carolina’s newly revised system in action. Administrators declared the use of the emergency alarm system a success.But many students and faculty members expressed confusion in response tothe University’s alerts.Students complained that texts andemails weren’t sent quickly enough,and some professors were unawareof protocol. Others did not hear thesirens at all.The first warning went out shortly after 11:30 a.m., and the first all-clearmessage came about 30 minutes later.The second alert came around 1:40 p.m.University officials said students andfaculty should be familiar with responseplans featured in Alert Carolina, which was established in 2008.“I can say with some degree of con-fidence that the alarms were sounded based on the criteria set forth and ourplans,” said Randy Young, spokesmanfor the Department of Public Safety.But Margarita Phannavong, a junior journalism major, said she was unsureof what to do after receiving AlertCarolina emails in class.“Every time that I would get anemail, my professor wouldn’t respond,”Phannavong said.“How are we supposed to be protect-ed if the professor doesn’t know what’sgoing on?”James Geer, a junior journalismmajor, said his professor in PhillipsHall did not hear the sirens, but theclass did.“If it was an actual emergency, there would have been a lot more people introuble than Alert Carolina could havehelped,” he said.

Heavy rain showers Tuesday were paired with two tornado warnings, which led Alert Carolina sirens to sound for the first time this year. Above, a student walks through a puddle in the Pit.Students wait in sheltered areas around campus for the “all clear” message from Alert Carolina. Some were unsure what to do after multiple sirens were sounded and text messages were sent.

Geer’s professor didn’t dismiss theclass until students persuaded him to,he said.Students and faculty were urged toseek shelter away from windows viatext message, email and siren after theNational Weather Service issued thetornado warnings for Orange County. Young said the sirens were sounded based on Alert Carolina’s level-oneemergency response plan, which isissued if there is a significant emergency or immediate safety threat to campus. Alexis Davis, a junior journalismmajor, was in the Stone Center whenshe heard students’ phones buzzing with Alert Carolina text messages.“The crazy thing about it was ourprofessor — he didn’t really know whatto do,” she said.She said the overlap of texts, sirens

Residents who demanded a halton development in the Northsideand Pine Knolls neighborhoodsearlier this year are discussing along-term policy regarding studenthousing. At the May 23 town council meet-ing, the board passed a temporary moratorium in the historically blackand low-income communities inresponse to resident complaints thatstudent housing was overtaking theneighborhood.But the moratorium expires inJanuary — and the neighborhoodshope to form and implement a newplan for growth before that happens. At an outreach meeting Tuesday,community members and town offi-cials discussed solutions to ongoingissues the neighborhoods face.“The main issue is protecting thecharacter of the neighborhood,” saidLoryn Clark, town neighborhoodand community services manager inthe planning department. “We hopeto address some of the key issuesof things like affordable housing,affordability of property, culturaland historic preservation, enforce-ment of regulations and zoning.”Residents of Northside and PineKnolls, which border the University,have seen an increase in studenthousing during the past two decadesthat some residents say can takeaway from neighborhood’s characterand safety. And many residents believeincreasing student housing is caus-ing gentrification within the com-munity, raising housing costs andforcing traditional residents to leave.Kim Hoppin, a Northside resi-dent, attended the meeting.She said students often are notconsiderate of their neighbors.“It’s like a dorm,” she said. “WhenI was a student, I didn’t behave that way.”Kathe Reusing, anotherNorthside resident, said she thinksthe problem stems from a differencein lifestyles.“For the most part I think thesestudents are really smart and very polite, but I think there’s some sortof disconnect.”Northside and Pine Knollsare recognized as NeighborhoodConservation Districts by the town,giving neighborhood residents theability to decide certain restrictionson housing.During the meeting, residentssuggested solutions such as limit-ing total cars per property to four tocurtail student housing and increasehome ownership.“That is the simplest and mostpowerful tool the city might have,”Pine Knolls resident Seth Murray said.Residents also suggested enforc-ing laws that limit the number of non-related people per household.“I don’t know how much enforce-ment has been applied,” Murray said. “It’s not clear how successfulinspections and planning has been.”Councilwoman Donna Bellsaid that any revisions to theNeighborhood ConservationDistricts should attempt to expandaffordable housing options, such asduplexes.“Gentrification is not a train thatcan be stopped,” Bell said. “I just feellike Chapel Hill is going to change,Chapel Hill is going to grow, but as aresident I want to have a say.”

When Ulugbek Kasimov arrived in Chapel Hillfrom his native Uzbekistan, he didn’t know how todrive.Now, 11 years later, Kasimov runs a local taxi com-pany.“I learned how to drive, and since then, I’ve beendriving a lot,” he said with a smile.Kasimov, who has a master’s degree in linguis-tics from the Samarkand State Institute of ForeignLanguages in Uzbekistan, worked his way through jobs at Panera Bread, Papa John’s Pizza and ChapelHill Taxi before branching off in 2007 to establish hisown company, Carolina Taxi and Shuttle.Charles Becker, an economics professor at DukeUniversity, said few immigrants come to the UnitedStates and start a business, and he finds Uzbek entre-preneurs especially impressive.“If anyone’s going to do it, they’re going to beUzbeks,” he said.“They’re industrious, they’re hardworking, they’regood people.”Kasimov, a self-proclaimed social entrepreneur,uses his business as a platform for fundraisers that benefit students.In the spring, Carolina Taxi held a fundraiser forthe Eve Carson Scholarship, which awards two risingUNC-Chapel Hill seniors half the cost of attendancefor their senior year and $5,000 for a summer experi-ence.The campaign raised about $450, Kasimov said.“I think serving the community has to be one of theparts of any successful business,” he said.

Uzbeks in Chapel Hill

There are 15 Uzbek families in the Triangle, andthree families in Chapel Hill, Kasimov said.“We hang out on the holidays together,” he said.“We do picnics, get-togethers.”Becker said the Uzbek community is so small thatgrowth is hard to measure.Kasimov is a founding member of Uzbek Initiative,a group which seeks to promote Uzbek culture andinterests.He is also a managing editor of Vatandosh, a biweekly newspaper published in Uzbek and gearedtoward nationwide Uzbek and Central Asian com-munities.Behzod Mamadiev, news editor at the publica-tion, described Kasimov as compassionate, helpfuland focused on serving the Uzbek community in theUnited States.“Whenever we met, issues related to our com-munity were the main topic of our conversation,”Mamadiev said in an email.“He was very eager to talk about how to developour Uzbek community in all aspects.”

A growing business

Kasimov remains active within the Uzbek commu-nity, but he also focuses on growing his business andmaintaining rapport with his customers.Javlan Babajanov, co-owner of Carolina Taxi, joined the company last year after graduating fromUNC-Greensboro’s MBA program. He emigratedfrom Uzbekistan in 2006.“One of the things that I like about this job is wehave a lot of regular customers,” Babajanov said.Many Carolina Taxi customers are students,Kasimov said.“You get to meet a lot of drunk students,” Kasimov said, adding that his company charges extra whenstudents vomit in the taxis.“I like the student vibe here,” he said. “It almostmakes you feel young.”Carolina Taxi’s fleet has grown from two vehicles10 months ago to three minivans, two black sedansand a silver Lexus, Kasimov said.Students should not use taxi companies that offerthe cheapest price, he said.Rates in Chapel Hill range from $2.50 to $3.50,and Carolina Taxi charges $3.50, Kasimov said.“I don’t deliver on price,” he said. “I deliver on value.”

DPS announces program to stop bike theft

By Amelia Nitz

Staff Writer

The hunter has become thehunted.The University’s Departmentof Public Safety announced aprogram Tuesday that will usea bicycle equipped with GPS as bait in an effort to catch poten-tial thieves and discourage cam-pus crime.The program will utilizeCatchAThief, a matchbox-sizedGPS device attached to a DPS bicycle. If the bicycle movesoutside of a certain zone, offi-cials will receive an immediatetext message or email alert.Police can then monitor thedevice’s real-time movementthrough an online system.DPS purchased the device for$150 and will pay an additional$30 per month for its use,according to a departmentalpress release.N.C. State University policereported a 92 percent decreasein bicycle larcenies after they began using the GPS system,according to the release.Randy Young, spokesmanfor DPS, said he hopes thedevice will help catch and deter bike thieves as word of its usespreads.“We don’t anticipate it willcurb every larceny on campus, but obviously bikes are some-thing that this technology lendsitself to,” Young said. And the department mightnot stop at bicycles.“We will also continue toinvestigate how this technology can be used to track other itemsthat could be stolen on campus,” Young said.Jeff McCracken, chief of campus police and director of DPS, said larceny is the mostcommon crime at UNC, andthe new technology is versatileenough to be used to deter theftof other items in the future,such as backpacks or laptops.Sophomore Stefan Hansen, who said he has had his bicyclestolen twice in three semesters,said he thinks the program will be effective if DPS publicizesthe use of the tracking system.“People who steal bikes needto know that campus police arelooking for them,” Hansen said.Sophomore Zoe Moore saidshe’s unsure of how effective theplan will be, saying it will noteliminate theft by members of the larger community becausethere is no easy way for them toknow about the system.Last week, a Durham manattempted to sell a stolen bicycle in the Pit, campus policesaid.
