Craige Residence Hall, formerly an all-graduate
student dorm, is housing freshmen men this year
because of an increase in on-campus housing demands
and a large freshman class.
About 26 freshmen are living in Craige, and they
are scattered throughout the dorm, said Assistant Area
Director Larry Brown.
Collin Rustin, associate director of University
Housing, said the situation was not a permanent one.
Many of the residents will be reassigned as spaces
open up in other dorms later in the semester, he said,
adding that first priority goes to reassigning the
temporary triples.
Although Craige is generally known as a graduate
dorm, it is also used to provide extra spaces as the
need for on-campus housing increases, Rustin said.
Previously, juniors, seniors and a few sophomores
have lived in Craige.
Most of the freshmen "seem to be fitting in just
fine," Brown said. Special orientation programs were
designed to help the freshmen and graduate students
get to know and understand each other better.
Tom Morris, a freshman from Charleston, W. Va.,
said the dorm had been quiet so far. "There's not
a lot going on," he said.
Morris also said he thought the freshmen were
slightly, hindered in meeting other freshmen. "We Ye
been going out to the other dorms a lot," he said.
Brown said he felt that the freshmen in Craige were
acting more mature because they were living in a
graduate dorm. Resident Assistant Ruth Bizzell,
a law student from Goldsboro, agreed, saying the
freshmen on her floor seemed "very quiet and low
key."
"There haven't been any problems so far, and I
don't think there will be any," Bizzell said. "I don't
think they'll make much difference."
Like the freshmen, Phil Boiselle, a senior resident
assistant from Fayetteville, is living in Craige for the
first time and said living there was different than he
had expected. - '
"But I'm glad the freshman are here," Boiselle said.
"I just hope they're getting the same college experience
as other freshmen."
Despitie No C stump, Chapel HHPs economy girows
By MARK POWELL

Chapel Hill's economy continues to
grow despite the fact that North
Carolina's slumped 2.4 percent in the
first quarter according to an economic
report released Tuesday by First Union
National Bank and UNC-Charlotte.
The drop, the first quarterly drop in
the gross state product since 1983's
fourth quarter, resulted from the overall
sluggishness of the U.S. economy,
which grew only 0.3 percent. North
Carolina's usually strong economic
sectors, durable goods, manufacturing
and wholesale trade, fell. The economy
should recover by the end of the year
to reach an annual growth rate of 3
percent.
"Our sector is in retail sales and
services," Leonard P. Van Ness, Exec
utive Vice President of the Chapel Hill
Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. "In
Chapel Hill our economy has been very
stable, consumer confidence is good,
and there has been a steady rise in retail
sales."
Frank Russell, an economist with
NCNB National Bank in Charlotte, said
non-farm employment growth is zero
and there is not going to be any growth
in manufacturing in the near future.
"Chapel Hill is pretty well isolated
from the cycle," Russell said. "In the
Triangle area things look pretty good.
"State tax money flowing into the
economy (in the Triangle area) keeps
it stable."
The first-quarter decline in North
Carolina was led by agriculture output,
which fell at an annualized real rate of
53 percent. Wholesale trade was off 6
percent, durable goods manufacturing
was off 2.9 percent and finance, insu
rance and real estate were down 0.7
percent.
jj Other NX. industries were not hit
by the sluggish national economy. The
state's construction industry was up 23. 1
percent; retail trade was up 4 percent;
government output was up 6 percent;
service companies were up 3.8 percent;
transportation was up 0.2 percent and
mining was up 10.4 percent.
Agricultural output and non-durable
goods manufacturing output are
expected to decline for the year.
Agriculture is predicted to decline 9.6
percent and non-durable goods should
fall 0.3 percent.
Van Ness said 49 percent of Chapel
Hill's employment is governmental and
is insolated from the ups and downs
of the state's economy. Only areas
whose economies are tied with agricul
ture and manufacturing will suffer
losses for the year, he said.

Students and faculty will have a
chance to check out computers, some
that can make a printout of a picture
or some that can show three-,
dimensional objects in motion, at the
annual Computer Fair next Tuesday
and Wednesday from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.
The fair, will be held in the Great
Hall of the Carolina Union. Pres
entations will be made by IBM on
Tuesday and Apple Networks on
Wednesday. It is sponsored by the
UNC Computation Center and the
RAM Shop, the computer retail
division of UNC Student Stores.
For people who know nothing
about computers, as well as for
people who often use ' them, the
computer fair will be informative
and fun, said Ann Dean, coordinator
of this year's fair.
"We will be having several special
speakers and computer displays,"
Gorsuch said. "On Macintosh Day
(Wednesday), Allen Smith from
Prentice Hall, will be showing an
'International Paper Airplanes'
exhibit which is designed to make
computer printouts of easy to put
together paper airplanes."
Fair-goers will be able to see
realistic 3-D pictures on computer
screens during IBM day. Tentatively
scheduled is a computer which can
mnke n nrintout of an individual';
picture.
Special presentations include a
speech by Associate Provost John
Harrison on the future of computing
on the" UNC campus. Other presen
tations will include product compar
isons, users' experiences with data
base management systems, word
processors and spread sheets.
"We encourage students to partic
ipate in the fair," Dean said.
A hands-on session will be held
Wednesday, which Dean said will be
a lot of fun and will allow people
to experience working with a com
puter. Each participant will receive
a free Apple T-shirt, she said.
"The hands-on session will consist
of labs of 15 Macintoshes," Dean
said. "It will be like a class schedule
on a time basis with different topics
throughout the day. An instructor
will be present." 1
The sessions will include a "Secret
arial Hands-on Training on the
Macintosh,""Hands-on Use of Jazz"
and "Hands on Use of Write Paint."
Since the number of computers is
limited, students will have a chance
to sign up for a free session that will
be held in following weeks, said John
Gorsuch, promotions coordinator
for the fair.
Admission to the Computer Fair
is free, and hourly drawings for door
prizes will be held.
