% Hath} (Ear Hrrl Bank Options for ONE Card Set By Karey Wutkowski Assistant University Editor After four years of planning, software glitches and piles of design prototypes, the University finally revealed the prod uct of its partnership with Wachovia this summer. The new UNO ONE Card serves the same functions as the previous card but has the option of becoming a Wachovia ATM card if students have a Wachovia account. The card will also be available with a Visa Check Card option on Tune 1,2001. “Students came to us and said, ‘We want the card,’” said Card Services Director Mike Freeman. “They want to spend Mom and Dad’s money uptown.” Freeman said he pitched the idea to all local banks four years ago, but none expressed interest.

SOURCE: UNC AUXILIARY SERVICES Union Construction Won't Deter Services By Mark Thomas Assistant University Editor Students returning to UNC might have noticed that the area surrounding the Student Union is not the same as when they left last May. Those making their way from South Campus to class have to find anew route, as the stairs adjoining the Union are blocked for construction. Crews started working in late June on the Union, which is home to numerous student groups and organizations and provides a meeting place for hundreds of students on a daily basis. The renovations and additions to the Union, which opened its doors in 1969, are budgeted for sl3 million and are scheduled to take 23 months. There are three phases to the renova tion, with the first phase, which includes the installment of a computer lab/copy center and Internet laptop connections, :|j Catering Breakfast, Lunches and Dinners jjj £ since 1988 :j: 7 Days Delivery to UNC www.saladelia.com I 489-5776 § v\W 149 1/2 E Franklin St Chapel Hill, NC 960-8688 Best known secret in Chapel Hiil Offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, and specialty Y?

Freeman said they wanted the cards ready by Oct 1999, but problems formatting software delayed the project. The new card also went through sev eral redesigns, with the Wachovia logo in various locations and sizes. “We want to make sure it’s a campus card first,” Freeman said. “Wachovia would have liked the logo on front” All new students.are now issued a default card that has a strip on the back with Wachovia’s logo, regardless of whether they use the ATM feature or not Freeman said students also have the option of requesting a generic card with out the logo. On the Visa Check Card, however, Freeman said international law dictates that the emblem be placed on the front of the card. Once students are issued the new cards, they can go to the UNC ONE Card Office and ask to have their card linked to their Wachovia accounts.

Phase Two will be the renovation of the top and bottom floors of the Union, while Phase Three consists of renova tion of the Union’s main level. “We want to provide space for stu dent interaction, because we certainly believe that all learning doesn’t take place in the classroom,” Union Director Don Luse said in an interview in June. UNC has had a building for student groups and organizations to meet since Graham Memorial Student Union opened in 1932. And Luse said that will not change throughout the construction. “Services won’t be stopped or inter rupted, and we won’t ever shut the doors," he said. Union construction was slated to begin on June 1, but due to a legal technicality, that date was pushed back a few weeks.

He said Wachovia’s UNC Sales Center, which opened Aug. 1 next to Student Stores, can provide students with accessible customer service. The center’s manager, Alissa Canty, said many students have already expressed interest in the card. She said Wachovia began linking the cards to accounts last week, and no problems have arisen yet. “I haven’t seen anything negative about it." Freshman Melissa Wells said she was impressed with the card’s options during C-TOPS presentations but said the Wachovia features aren’t practical for her. “It’s a good idea, but the reason 1 did n’t do it here is because 1 don’t have a Wachovia at home,” she said. “It just didn’t work for me.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. fi Skitter* *>>*.>" -• The ONE Card with the Visa Check Card option will not be ready until June 1,2001. that plan might not hold. “I think we are struggling to keep on schedule,” he said.

By Karey Witkowski Assistant University Editor As many new students spent their move-in day arranging furniture, filling closets and hanging posters, Ming-Wai Farrell couldn’t quite get settled in her room. Housing officials temporarily placed Farrell, a junior transfer student from California, in the third-floor lounge of Ehringhaus Residence Hall with four other women. “I feel like we’re stuck at camp and can’t go home," she said. Farrell is one of 48 students who must live in South Campus lounges and bedroom units in Odum Village until housing officials can find permanent room assignments for them. “The demand is just greater than the supply,” said Director of University Housing Christopher Payne. “This is a smaller group than in some years, but other years we have not had anyone in transitional housing.” Beke was unavailable for comment.

Payne said the students will be placed in permanent housing as soon as the housing officials find out which rooms will open up. “It will be more a matter of days, not weeks,” he said. “Usually 50 to 75 people don’t show up or cancel later.’*'' ' Farrell moved into the lounge on Wednesday and said the room, which is set up with four bunk beds, couches, cable television and air conditioning, is not uncomfortable but does have its problems.
