Students’ move a win-win for all
Families embrace
calm at Baity Hill
BY ROBBY MARSHALL
STAFF WRITER
Raindrops could be heard slap
ping the empty sidewalks Monday
as a tranquility settled in at Baity
Hill student family housing.
Friday saw the end of three-week
process of relocating 360 under
graduate students from their tem
porary homes at Baity Hill to the
newly renovated Cobb Residence
Hall, said Rick Bradley, assistant
director of information and com
munication for housing and resi
dence education.
The symbiosis of undergraduate
student and student family came to
be after the delay of the Cobb reno
vation project, which originally was
set to be completed in August.
“I’ve heard from staff members
that the community has returned
to what it was originally supposed
to be,” Bradley said.
He added that students with
families have appreciated the
undergraduates’ departure.

former graduate student in politi
cal science who lives in Baity Hill
with her husband.
“We'd see them playing in the
playground and cursing,” said
Davis, who said that after a while
she found humor in the late night
ruckus at the nearby P2P stop.
The extra residents complicated
matters even for those out of ear
shot from the late-night debauch
ery, many residents said.
Busses were overcrowded, caus
ing hassle and unexpected delays
in getting to campus, said Andrey
Shabalin, a doctoral student in sta
tistics, who lives with his wife and
5-year-old son.
“After that I bought a bike,” he
said with an exhausted laugh.
Displaced undergraduates
expressed the transition as a relief
as well.
Morgan Knox, a sophomore
majoring in Spanish and math,
was “very happy” about the move.
She said that she is excited to be
close to campus and that she will
not miss setting aside 45 minutes
every day to get to class.

of Cobb students, Baity Hill was

“We’re focused on getting addi
tional units filled in the spring and
in fall of ’06,” he said, noting that
there is not a high demand for
housing at Baity Hill.
There are 7,192 students living
in campus residence halls, exclud
ing family housing, Bradley said in
an e-mail.
But he also said applications for
Baity Hill are “trickling in” at a rate
of five per month.
The potential problem with
vacancy is an issue for another
day.
For now, students and staff say
the overdue migration of restless
undergraduates away from Baity
Hill seems to be a respite for all.

N.C. lottery a gamble
for neighbors’ revenues
BY BRETT STURM
STAFF WRITER
When the first tickets to the
N.C. Education Lottery are sold in
spring of 2006, lotteries in neigh
boring states likely will lose many
of their loyal Tar Heel players.
N.C. residents have tradition
ally crossed boarders to play out
of-state lotteries. They account for
substantial sales in South Carolina
and Virginia, both of which con
tribute lottery revenue to the states’
public education.
“We estimate that 12 percent of
our play in South Carolina comes
from N.C. residents,” said Ernie
Passailaigue, executive director
of South Carolina’s lottery.
For a lottery that grossed more
than S4OO million in sales from
July 1 to Nov. 13, N.C. play rep
resents a substantial source of
additional revenue.
Paul Lanteigne, chairman of
the Virginia lottery board, pre
dicted that N.C. players account
for SIOO million annually about
8 percent of Virginia’s $1.2 billion
annual sales.
Gail Howard, author of “Lottery
Master Guide,” said out-of-state
lotteries will feel significant effects
of the new N.C. lottery.

New prints form link to old

Old meets new as the Ackland Art
Museum expands its extensive print
collection with 11 contemporary
prints on display through Dec. 31.
“Collecting Contemporary
Prints” features the work of eight
artists three Americans, one
German, one Australian, two
Japanese and one Indian-born
Englishwoman —with pieces as
diverse in the techniques that they
showcase as their makers’ origins.
The museum’s acquisition com
mittee selected works that blend
everything from wood block print
ing to computer graphic design,
adding a little modernity to a col
lection that already has cornered
the market on diversity.
Maria Bleier, director of com
munications at the Ackland, said
the idea to acquire the new prints
arose when the Museum was
assembling its last exhibit, “Three
Sides to a Sheet of Paper: How
Prints Communicate, Represent
and Transform (1482-2002),”
which ran through Nov. 13.

tery state,” Howard said.
Virginia and South Carolina offi
cials are expecting tangible drops
in sales, but the exact impact is yet
to be determined.
“We are building in a drop in
our budgeted sales because of the
start of the North Carolina lot
tery,” Passailaigue said. “There will
probably be some decrease in ticket
sales initially.”
He predicted that the N.C.
lottery likely will need time to
mature before presenting serious
competition.
“Until North Carolina matures
and gets into the multi-state game,
you wouldn’t see a material drop of
sales in South Carolina,” he said.
“The real potential problem
might fall in fiscal year 2007”
But in Virginia, it is difficult
to predict the effects of decreased
sales on lottery-dependent pro
grams, said Charles Pyle, director
of communications for the Virginia
Department of Education.
“It really is too early to tell,” he
said. “The lottery is a significant
source of funding in the common
wealth for public education. It is
by no means the largest source of
funding.”
Pyle said the Virginia lottery
provides about 10 percent of the
state’s funding for public educa
“As we were putting that togeth
er, we had an opportunity to look
at our print collection and find
opportunities for growth,” Bleier
said. “One of the things that came
up was an opportunity to get more
contemporary prints.”
Barbara Matilsky, curator of
exhibitions at the Ackland, said the
museum tries to balance a desire
to keep its collections current with
one to ensure a connection between
old and new works.
The new pieces are appropriately
scattered throughout the museum’s
permanent collection, along with
labels explaining the committee’s
motivations for buying them.
Citing the example of Chuck
Close’s 5-foot-tall, 149-color silk
screen portrait, “Lyle,” Matilsky said
the pieces add an element of color
and size to the print collection.
“The importance of the works is
that they forge new paths within the
collection and that they also play off
of the collection,” she said. “We’re
looking backward and forward but
backward in a positive way.”

tion, grades K-12.
He said Virginia has begun a
public relations campaign to high
light the lottery’s contributions to
the state’s public education.
Passailaigue said South Carolina
lottery officials are planning to take
steps to mitigate the blow from a
competitive N.C. lottery.
He declined to comment on
specific plans, but he mentioned
the prospect of a Carolina regional
lotto game similar to Lotto South, a
multi-state jackpot game played in
Virginia, Kentucky and Georgia.
Lanteigne was optimistic about
Virginia ticket sales despite the
looming threat of anew competi
tor.
“We still have good growth of
the lottery product in Virginia,”
he said. “While we might lose 8
percent, our product will continue
to grow.”
But there are few options for
state lotteries that hope to pre
vent the loss of players to new
games in neighboring states,
Howard said.
“There’s nothing they can do,”
she said. “People have their own
minds about where they want to
play.”

old and new that the museum sought
to forge, she again referred to the
Close piece, which joins a print of a
smaller, black and white drawing the
museum acquired in 1979- A small
picture of that drawing accompanies
the larger piece, which Matilsky said
allowed audiences to trace the devel
opment of the artist’s Work.
Several of the pieces use older
styles to comment on more mod
ern themes such as AIDS and
feminism. For example, Japanese
American artist Masami Teraoka
draws on a woodblock print called
“ukiyo-e” (“pictures of the float
ing world”), which was popular in
Japan during the 19th century, to
tell a story about safe sex.
Bleier said such works further
the teaching museum’s intent to
encourage classroom discussion.
“Our focus is always to present a
broad range of works of art, so that
they can be most useful for classes
as a good jumping off point for dis
cussion,” she said.
