mis latUj (Ear Hrrl Residence Halls Get Touch-Ups Ttie face of South Campus will look different this year, with more sophomore students in residence halls. By Karey Wutkowski Assistant University Editor While they may not have seen the paint cans, the polish and the behind the-scenes administrative decisions, campus residents undoubtedly noticed the housing changes that went into effect this semester. All four South Campus residence halls underwent renovations this sum mer, with Morrison getting the largest makeover costing more than $1 million. “It was an area that needed to have a facelift and an upgrade,” said Director of University Housing Christopher Payne. “We had been hearing things from a lot of students living in the building.” Morrison received new loft beds and mattresses, a complete paint job, refur bished furniture and renovated kitchens and study rooms. Craige residents will also find new loft beds and mattresses, and Hinton James and Ehringhaus residents will notice some additional air conditioning units and maintenance repairs.

More sophomore students will be liv • ing on South Campus due to a greater number of returning students in campus housing and the placement of some freshmen in other campus regions. “We have hundreds of rising sopho mores who will live in the southern region but want to move north and can’t,” said Dean Bresciani, associate vice chancellor for student services. “We don’t want South Campus to be all freshmen.” Sophomore Eric Meehan from West Chester, Pa., lived in Ehringhaus last year and requested an area change this year because of the distance from classes. “I think we made some really good decisions about where people are living. ” Christopher Payne Director of University Housing He said he was disappointed to be back on South Campus but is glad that many sophomores will be returning. “My suite is all sophomores,” he said. “There haven’t been any big complaints because we know a lot of people.” South Campus will also lose many graduate, international and transfer stu dents who have traditionally been housed together in Craige. This year, most graduate students will University be in Whitehead on Mid Campus. A large portion of international and transfer stu dents will be spread throughout campus. Bresciani said international students have been housed together in the past because only one hall was open during breaks. But he said multiple halls are now open. “We’re doing it very purposefully,” he said. “To be dispersed, we think they’ll have a better educational experience.” Jialynn Wang, a third-year pharmacy student from Chapel Hill, said she is excited about liv ing in Whitehead. “It’ll be nice for all graduate stu dents to live together,” she said. “Everyone’s older and more of your peers.” The residents of Old East and Old West will also have to adjust to anew living situation. For the first time in more than 200 years, women will be living in the traditionally all-male buildings. Payne said he hopes all the housing changes will pan out well this year. “I think we made some really good deci sions about where people are living.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. Case Against University, Dorrance Slows to Snail's Pace, Lawyer Says By Bret Strelow Assistant Sports Editor Louis Varchetto, an attorney for for mer North Carolina women’s soccer players Debbie Keller and Melissa Jennings, said their lawsuit against the University and Coach Anson Dorrance has come to a “screeching halt” since October. Varchetto has been waiting for a rul ing on the defendants’ motion for dis missal since the defense filed a reply brief in support of their motion in October. Jennings and Keller filed a 19-page lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago on Aug. 25, 1998, accusing Dorrance of sexual harassment and misconduct. The defense originally filed for dis missal in June 1999 at the federal court in Greensboro. “I thought the court would have decided the motion late last year,” Varchetto said. “My time frame is all out of whack. I’ve been sitting around doing nothing for a year now.” The plaintiffs recently had to respond to an additional plea the defense made on the issue of qualified immunity. Qualified immunity protects govern ment officials from liability for civil I . h I damages as long as their conduct does not violate estab lished statutory or constitutional rights that a rea sonable person should have known. The plaintiffs were ordered to file a response on June 15 of this year, but they were given a 20- day extension on July 17. The plain- Former UNC player Debbie Keller has played two games for the Rockford Dactyls of the USISL W-League. tiffs filed a sur-reply on July 26. Varchetto said court rules don’t allow an issue to be raised for the first time in a reply. Marcy DeFalco, who is also an attorney for Jennings and Keller, said the court told the plaintiffs to respond anyway. “The court issued a ruling injune say ing, ‘Yeah, you really can’t do it that way, but they’ve raised it. Why don’t you plaintiffs respond to it,’” DeFalco said. Varchetto said if the case is not dis missed, the discovery period that follows could take more than a year because so many witnesses will be deposed. Varchetto said he has talked with Tuesday, August 22, 2000 Keller and Jennings on a daily basis. Varchetto said they are both frustrated with how slowly the case is moving. “It’s pretty hard not to be frustrated with things not progressing,” he said. Judy Keller, Debbie Keller’s mother, said her daughter is living in Illinois so she can be contacted once the discovery period begins. She has played two games for the Rockford Dactyls of the USISL W-League and is going to cos metology school. “Because of the lawsuit, she decided to fulfill one of her hobbies,"Judy Keller said. “It’s kind of an expensive hobby.” University defense attorney Thomas Ziko could not be reached for com ment. Cari Hepp, spokeswoman for the N.C. Department of Justice, said the state attorney general’s office could not comment on the case.
