BYNORADAUBE STAFF WRITER Though the decision to move the football game between UNC and N.C. State University might add to UNC cof fers, many proprietors on Franklin Street worry they might feel the crunch from the move. Because many students and fans from both schools will make the long drive to Charlotte, businesses on Franklin Street am inevitably going to lose one of their busiest days of the football season, said Joel Harper, direc tor of the Chapel Hill-Canboro Chamber of Commerce. “Home food)all games bring lots of business, tips and jobs, and all that will be in Charlotte,” Harper said. On May 4, officials at UNC and NCSU announced that rival football game between the schools will be played at Charlotte’s Ericsson Stadium 2 1/2 hours away during the 1998 and 1999 seasons.

About one-fourth of the film will be shot on the UNC campus and will include mostly outdoor scenes. Some classrooms will also be used. Director Tom Shadyac said UNC was chosen for filming because he and other members of the production staff “just fell in love with it.” He continued, “It also has the look we needed.” The story is set in Virginia, so the look of UNC is appropriate, he said. Shadyac also said the crew would take House’s reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.
