ATN is anew division of the University formed from the Office of Information Technology and the telecommunications division of the Physical Plant. John Oberlin, interim executive director of ATN, said offices from several campus buildings would be centralized in the basement of the Undergrad. “The idea is to renovate the library,” said William Graves, Interim Chief Infor mation Officer. “We want to put the sup port staff (of ITS) in one location alongside the librarians.” New lab facilities will be added to the library. Renovation plans also include re locating the music library, currently on the room that adjoined the couple’s bedroom. He was uncon scious at the time. Brown was rushed to UNC Hospitals, where he was pronounced dead at 12; 19 a.m. According to reports from the medical examiner, the cause of death was determined to be death by smoke inhalation. Before firefighters arrived, a friend of Brown’s, Charles Rogers, entered the house two times in search of Brown. However, Rogers could not find him and was forced to leave the house each time due to the large amount of smoke. As of yet, the Orange County fire marshal has not determined a concrete cause for the fire, although it is questions still existed about the fate of Flight 800. Divers around the crash site had found 112 of the 230 passengers. Medical au thorities had released the names of 83 vic tims. Only about 1 percent of the plane's wreckage has been retrieved. Searchers hope to find the plane’s voice and data recorders, the so-called black boxes, that may shed some light on the last minutes of the flight.

Graves said the renovations will be done in stages to allow parts of the library and computer lab to remain functional. Completion of the work will take years due to major projects such as electrical wiring and asbestos removal, he said. Brent Caison, manager of computer labs at the Office of Information Technology, said the money for the project had not yet been approved, so the project would not begin until next spring at the earliest. Nelson’s said his main concern was that there was no other computer lab open 24 hours a day. “We have been assured that an alternate location for the 24-hour com puter lab will be found,” he said. thought the blaze began in a living room couch and was probably started accidentally with smoking materials, such as cigarettes. Family members said Brown smoked. Monetary damage to the home has not yet been deter mined, but the living room suffered moderate fire damage. The rest of the house had heavy heat and smoke damage. The fire marshal estimated that the temperature of the house at the ceiling level was probably 1,000 degrees. The residence had four smoke detectors. One alarm outside of the bedroom was still going offwhen firefighters entered the house. The other three suffered severe heat damage and were melted in the blaze. It will never be known if they were working properly at the time of the fire. Arts& Entertainment Calendar X4 — THURSDAY, JULY 25 DIZZY MONK. Cat’s Cradle. 300 E. Main St, Carrboro. 967-9053. WAKE.

Many students said they would be in convenienced by the renovations, as the lab has the most useful hours and location. “The lab is a valuable resource and the location is super,” said Mike Jarrell, a sophomore from Rockingham. “Students will be at a disadvantage if it is closed.” Music major Stuart Parish said, “As far as priorities, this seems to be the ideal place to be located.” Graves said renovation dates and an alternate location for the lab have not yet been chosen.
