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.

Senate seat he lost last November. 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 field hockey coach Karen Shelton 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.

Malone said he thought students from low income families would not be able to af ford the increase in tuition. “I think that placing the responsibility to improve libraries and to increase stu dent aid is a burden that should not be placed on the students,” Malone said. “I just thought it was a bad move, and I still think it is a bad move.” O’Quinn said he had expected the trust History in the Making: The Campus Y continues to be an outlet for political activism and community service.

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.

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. News/Features/Aits/Sports Business / Advertising 01995 DTH Publishing Coip.

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 Winston-Salem couple, R.B.
