The Hard Rock Cafe restaurants operate in New York and in other large cities abroad. The Hard Rock Cafe Licensing Corporation filed a suit against Grant Romberg in late July because of the similarity of the names Hardback and Hard Rock. "The names are confusingly sim ilar,1 said Ralph Kalish, the St. Louis attorney for the Hard Rock Cafe. "The use of the name Hardback infringes upon and violates Hard Rock's service mark, trademark and trade name. Our client has an enor mous investment of time and money in the name and logo." Kalish said the Hardback name could lead the public to believe the two restaurants are associated in some way. "Using the Hardback name is depriving Hard Rock Cafe of total control over its reputation," Kalish said. "If people are to develop good will and good reputations for their businesses, they must be able to protect the names of their companies." Hard Rock Cafe generated the complaint of deception to file a lawsuit, Kornberg said. He said Hard Rock Cafe officials must believe the Hardback Cafe will expand internationally, which might cause the public to be deceived. "The whole thing is rather pre posterous, Kornberg said. "The logos are not alike and the restaurants V 1 ; nw.-im -,. .. v m . jf...y ajL.H , W -i ' i N t mi,, t -r " . iLa? -J lhiijhiihl. f tY 1 , 1 :":v 5 !

Makes a difference State has strong chance to be selected as site for new super collider By CLAY THORP Staff Writer North Carolina is one of the top five proposed locations for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC), scientific advisers to Gov. Jim Martin have said. California, Colorado, Illinois and Texas are the four other contenders. The collider, looping some 53 miles, will be the largest scientific tool in the world and will be used in high energy physics. By project ing two particles in opposite directions, thus causing them to collide, the SSC would create a large explosion that could yield new, previously unfound particles. The state committee writing the proposal to be entered in the competition recently released many site tests that make North Carolina's chance of getting the collider look promising, said Bill Dunn, project manager. "Objectively, there is no better site in the country," said Paul Frampton, a UNC physics profes sor and the governor's project chairman for the proposal. Tests show ground vibrations in North Carolina are far lower than the national selection committee's tolerance level, Dunn said. The proposed North Carolina site is located 10 miles north of Durham in Person, Granville, and Durham counties. "We have the right combination of a geologically sound site in a rural area that's close to a major metropolitan area that's served by electrical and water access," Dunn said. In addition, North Carolina's chances are boosted because the site is near the Raleigh Durham Airport and three major univer sities, he said. The state government has allo cated $ 1 .25 million for the project, Dunn said. Five hundred thou sand dollars of that amount was used to conduct the geological tests on the site. One plus for the state could be the technology used in the pres entation of the proposal, said Dr. Earl McCormick, the governor's scientific adviser. He said certain software used for the maps of the site can display three dimensions, which could help North Carolina get the bid. A group representing the state's project committee will deliver the proposal to Washington on Sept. 1 to meet the Sept. 2 deadline, McCormick said. The national committee will release a "best-qualified list" in January 1988 consisting of five to 10 states, Dunn said. The economic advantages of having the collider in North Carolina are enormous, McCor mick said. It could generate 3,000 3,500 jobs, 500 of which would be positions for scientists. The national budget for the SSC is $4,375 billion, Dunn said. More than $ 1 billion in initial costs could be absorbed into North Carolina's economy if the collider is built here. Although North Carolina has a good chance of getting the collider, the political component is unpre dictable, Frampton said. This could be a plus for the state because Gov. Jim Martin is very supportive of the project, he added. CaurrlboiP CUmmrclhes Welcome Yot! . . K 1 LUTHERAN CAMPUS MINISTRY 300 E.
