2 TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 2003 Employees air Dey noise woes BY BRIAN HUDSON STAFF WRITER To the students and faculty members working in Dey Hall, the sound of progress doesn't equal the sound of music. UNC officials hosted a meeting Monday in Dey to hear complaints about the construction for Phase I of the Science Complex, which is happening outside the building. More than a dozen faculty members and teaching assistants who work in Dey Hall attended the meeting to complain about the noise disturbances and hear the solutions that were offered. Tom Smither, an employee in the Department of Romance Languages, was vocal at the meet ing about the noise right outside his office on the second floor. “I literally can’t hear my phone,” he said. “I can’t conduct my work.” During the meeting, acoustical consultant Noral Stewart offered preliminary solutions to the noise problem. “The primary leakage path into the building is almost definitely the windows,” he said. Two solutions, he said, are installing storm windows or boarding up windows. He said that the latter option is best because it would cost less and that sound-absorbing materials such as fiberglass can be added to cut down on the noise. Most of the people at the meet ing agreed that boarding up win dows would be the most effective solution. Stewart said the next task would Today noon The Holocaust Remembrance Week’s vigil of the Reading of the Names will take place in the Pit until noon Wednesday. 4:30 p.m. American University' constitutional law scholar Jamin B.

Architect Peter Krawchyk said that the group will hold another meeting April 28 to announce the solution and that no preventive action will be taken until that time. No students attended the meet ing despite the fact that many for eign language and linguistics class es are taught in the building. Krawchyk said students need not worry about the noise during their final exams. “The contract with the construc tion companies says that construc tion must cease during finals,” he said. That also includes Saturday and evening finals, he said. The first phase of construction began in August and is scheduled to finish this fall. Krawchyk said that when planning for the con struction began, officials took into consideration how it would incon venience the campus. “We started (planning) this pro gram in April 2001," Krawchyk said. “We knew when we were designing the program we would impair the campus. As part of the process we talked to people in... all the buildings we considered the neighbors.” But he said that so far, only peo ple in Dey Hall have complained.

All rights reserved University Survivor moves audience BY JOE SAUNDERS STAFF WRITER University students, faculty and community members came together Monday to learn about one of the darkest periods of the 20th century the Holocaust. The room was dead silent, and a few audience members cried as more than 100 people listened to Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein recall her expe riences. Klein was the keynote speaker of the seventh annual Holocaust Remembrance Week. The event, held in Carroll Hall, was co-spon sored by the Carolina Union Activities Board and N.C. Hillel. Klein, now 78, was just 18 years old when she first was taken from her home in Bielsko, Poland and sent to a Nazi slave labor camp. Two years later, Klein, along with thousands of other Jewish women, was forced to march 200 miles from Poland to Czechoslovakia. Of the 2,000 women who went on this death march. Klein was one of only 150 who survived. When she was 21, Klein was freed when U.S. soldiers found her group after their Nazi guards had deserted them. Among those soldiers, Klein met the young man she eventual ly would marry. Monday’s event was organized by sophomore Julie Wald, a CUAB and N.C. Hillel member. Wald said her groups were elated to get Klein to come and speak on campus. “We were very excited to get her,” she said. “I thought she had a lot to share.” Klein’s appearance was made even more special because she has been hesitant to speak of her expe riences since the death of her hus band more than a year ago.
