T he last subject of Baxter’s letter was the University’s sole right to approve all designs of the service center. “(Marketing) will only be in accordance with (University) terms,” Baxter said. According to Building Services Director Jim MacFarquhar, the con struction of the service center will not be completed before renovations of the Student Union begin and the ATMs in the Pit are discontinued.

A&T was treating the affair with the utmost caution. “We stepped up police presence, and we’ll do everything we need to do to keep this campus safe,” she said. But Scott said more police would only go so far in solving the problem. “This is the kind of thing you have to pray that some higher power will end,” she said. “There’s too much good to be spoiled by this thing.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu.
