NCSU Trustees Approve S4OO Tuition Hike
■ N.C. State’s BOT also
voted down a plan to allow

ASSISTANT STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR
Students at N.C. State University will
join UNC students in paying an extra S4OO
tuition each semester starting next year,
the NCSU Board of Trustees decided Fri
day.
Although NCSU trustees debated the
tuition increase for two months longer than
UNC’s board, members reached the same
conclusion: in the long run, improving the
university is more important than keeping
tuition low.
The NCSU board decided to distribute
the revenue differently than the BOT at

Howard Lee Fighting Back
After Losing N.C. Senate Seat
BYROBYNTOMUNHACKLEY
STATE 6 NATIONAL EDITOR
After a disappointing loss in his bid for
re-election to a third term in the state Sen
ate last November, Howard Lee is picking
up the pieces and moving on.
Lee lost his seat in the Senate after
finishing third in a race against Democrat
Fred Hobbs and Republican Teena Little,
both ofMoore county. Lee lost the election
by a margin of only 1,600 votes.
After a year’s hiatus, Lee said he was
gearing up for a potential Democratic pri
mary for a seat in the 16th District, which
includes Orange, Chatham, Randolph and
‘“ACC, Another Carolina Choke,’ and we turned that around to Another Carolina Championship .”

UNC, said Joseph Sanders, associate vice
chancellor for the NCSU Office of Public
Affairs. At UNC, the revenue will be di
vided between improving libraries, increas
ing faculty salaries and increasing student
financial aid.
Sanders said that at N.C. State, the S4OO
increase would not generate enough extra
money to divide it three ways. “Here at
N.C. State, it’s (tuition revenue) directed
towards the library and financial aid, ” Sand
ers said. “We couldn’t split it three ways.”
Sanders said that the university planned
to work with the legislature to get money
for faculty salary-increases and that the
library would benefit the most from the
extra money. “We can restore its purchas
ingpowerto the 1987 level,” Sanders said.
“(The library) has had to cut quite a num
ber of journal subscriptions.”
Only two of NCSU’s trustees voted
against the tuition increase—Wake County
Moore counties.
“I made the decision about two weeks
ago,” Lee said Saturday. “People have
responded to my first mass mailing with
large contributions and little notes that
make me feel appreciated.”
Lee said he had yet to pinpoint his exact
campaign platform but had decided to fo
cus on three main areas: education, the
environment and campaign finance reform.
“There needs to be a way to control
campaign costs and expenditures, ” he said.
“I hate to ask people for money. It takes
about $120,000 to run for a Senate seat in

Commissioner Vernon Malone and Stu

Malone said he thought students from low
income families would not be able to af

“I think that placing the responsibility
to improve libraries and to increase stu

placed on the students,” Malone said. “I
just thought it was a bad move, and I still

prised with the decision. The trustees were
between a rock and a hard place,” he said.
“I think we made a lot of progress.”
O’Quinn said the student body was
largely against the tuition increase, but
while the room was filled with trustees,
faculty members and some student lobby
ists, there were few students present at the
meeting. O’Quinn said that although there
had been more students present during the
morning’s committee meetings, the BOT
meeting was only a final step in the fore
gone tuition debate.
He said that NCSU students had orga
nized a forum to discuss the tuition issue
and that there was no need for students to
be at the BOT meeting. “Students were
well-represented at the forum. That was
the opportunity for student input, ” he said.

Families’ Petition Drive
Seeks to Change Verdicts
BY LAURA GODWIN
ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR
Family members of a man killed by
Wendell Williamson during his Jan. 26
shooting spree turned their anger into ac
tion this weekend as they started a petition
drive to try and convince the General As
sembly to take another look at the effects of
the not guilty by reason of insanity verdict.
Iris Walker, sister of Ralph Walker Jr.,
a local restaurant manager who was killed
by Williamson, said in a previous inter
view that the petition drive was a way to
begin the slow healing process oflosing her
brother. Walker also said her motivation
behind the drive was “to save someone else
from this torment.”
BOT Chairman William Armfield said
he thought the fraternity letter was a reflec
tion of sexism within society as a whole.
“I think most of us recognized it as a
prank in that the parody involved very
close friends in the sororities,” Armfield
said.
“It was still very reprehensible. It has
the same sexist overtones that we continue
to combat in the home, on the campus and
in society.”
Armfield praised the University and the
international chapterofPhi Gamma Delta
for their quick action in dealing with the
incident.
In other action, the BOT approved the
construction site of the UNC Hospitals/
University Day-Care Center and die de
sign for a radio station for WUNC-FM at
its meeting Friday.
The day-care center will be built west of
the William and Ida Friday Continuing
Education Center and south of the site for
anew WUNC Radio building on N.C. 54
south of the main campus.
The 8,500 square-foot center will be
located on approximately 1.5 acres of prop
erty.
The facility will accommodate up to
120 children of University students and
UNC Hospitals and University employ
ees.
It will be convenient to park and ride
lots and public transportation.
The Victory Village Day Care organiza
tion will operate the day-care center under
contract from the University and UNC
Hospitals.
The center will incorporate the existing
Village Victory Day-Care Center.
The radio station will be constructed on
the Mason Farm property, adjacent to the
Friday Center. The building will cost $1.3
million and will be 7,500 square feet.
The site was originally approved at a
BOT meeting in October 1988, but funds
were not sufficient to construct the pro
posed day-care facility. Several reductions
were made to the building’s design, such as
the elimination of a large performance
studio.

Members of the Walker family were
present at the Franklin Street post office,
the Wal-Mart in Durham and the Wal-
Mart in Roxboro on Saturday in an effort
to gather signatures of residents who sup
port a change from the current verdict of
not guilty by reason of insanity to guilty but
mentally ill.
Another family at Saturday’s petition
drive can identify with the anger and the
fight the Walker family is pursuing. A

and his wife Doris, have been working to
