Believe it or not, there was a time when roller skating was cool. Watching the Carolina Rollergirls in action, that time seems like only yesterday. The Carolina Rollergirls is a Raleigh-based league of two female-only roller derby teams. The Rollergirls kicked off its third season Sunday night with an victory against the Minnesota RollerGirls, 136-126. And many of the original team members are beginning to notice an increase in the sport's popularity. "Since just our last bout, we've probably doubled in size," says Leigh Salmon, a member since the league's beginning.

Fraternity slapped with list of violations

By DANIEL JOHNSON | September 30

A late-night police raid last week on St. Anthony Hall, a literature and arts fraternity, netted 18 arrests and 27 drug and alcohol charges in connection with the operation of an illegal bar. N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement officials raided the house, located at 207 Pittsboro St., after they were tipped off about the bar. ALE Agent Mike Penland said the agency began a surveillance of the house after receiving an anonymous tip that fraternity members were selling alcohol without a valid permit.
