6 Monday, January 8, 2001 Bill Passes to Shield N.C. Tobacco Firms By Matthew B. Dees State & National Editor RALEIGH, APRIL 6 - The N.C. General Assembly ended its one-day spe cial session Wednesday by overwhelm ingly passing a bill to shield state indus tries from hefty out-of-state lawsuits. Signed into law immediately by Gov. Jim Hunt, the legislation places a $25 million cap on the bond that N.C. com panies must post to appeal another state’s court decision. Without the pro vision, an expensive judgment could bankrupt a company and strip it of its ability to appeal. Although it is applicable to all state businesses, the bill comes as a response to a lawsuit filed by Florida smokers against five tobacco companies, four of which have footholds in North Carolina. A Florida jury began deliberations today to determine whether to award $13.2 million in compensatory damages to the smokers. If this is approved, it will Traditionally Male Halls Get Female Feel By Karev Witkowski Assistant University Editor AUG. 23 - The addition of women to UNC’s two oldest residence halls this year breaks from the 200-year-old tradi tion of creating a stricdy male commu nity in Old East and Old West. When junior Katie Ahrendt first heard rumors last year that Old East and Old West residence halls were becoming coed, she was concerned about preserv ing this tradition. “At first I was against letting girls in,” said the Columbia, S.C., native. “I felt Call 962-0252 From B:3oam-spm.

At Law grfw Carolina Graduate with over 18 years fißgo experience representing students Mgßjf i Franklin^ ;i atoov©jHafTVs^egoi i gcH|^- M 2j67^£2oo^J set the stage for a class-action lawsuit to seek punitive damages for the estimated 500,000 sick smokers in Florida. N.C. lawmakers fear this ruling could force the firms to pay whopping puni tive damages upwards of SIOO billion. Such an action could bankrupt the com panies and strike a crushing blow to the state’s economy. Legislators said they could not remain idle in the face of such dire circum stances, despite legal and philosophical objections from a handful of individuals. Citing the 12,793 jobs and $52.4 mil lion in annual tax revenue tobacco firms provide for the state, lawmakers said the move was essential to preserving N.C.’s fiscal health. “Tobacco has been good to North Carolina,” said Sen. Hamilton Horton, R-Forsyth, who represents a dis trict with a strong tobacco industry pres ence. “For 250 years, it’s been one of our major crops. Tobacco has made it pos sible for our North Carolina farmers to make a good living with small acreage.” there are so many girls on campus, there should be something left for the guys.” But after she had been assigned one of the spacious rooms in the oak-laden Old East, Ahrendt didn’t put up a fight. “I was really surprised I got in," she said. “You walk in, and it’s so nice. It’s like a hotel.” The second floor of Old East and the third floor of Old West have been con verted into all-female floors beginning this semester.

Betsy Cochrane, R-Davidson, said the bill was needed to prevent the snowball effect a serious blow to the tobacco industry would cause in the state. “This is more than the big tobacco companies,” she said. “This is all the lit tle businesses in all the communities where the tobacco industry undergirds the economy.” But a few legislators took issue with the legislation. Sen. Thomas Odom, D- Iredell, was the only senator to vote against the bill. He argued that the $25 million cap aimed to protect the interest of large corporations but ignored smaller businesses that might run into out-of-state legal woes. “I have to vote no because as I look at it, on balance, it’s basically unfair to the little man and the little woman.” Walker Reagan, a legislative counsel who helped draft the bill, said this con cern had been examined. But lawmak ers deemed that the state should inter vene only in extreme cases where the state’s entire economy was at risk. started two years ago, when members of student government and the Residence Hall Association approached him. A series of open forums followed, revealing mixed opinions. “All the women thought it was a good idea,” Bresciani said. “The only people who had a problem were some of the guys and the alumni who thought it was a good tradition to maintain." But Bresciani said the move garnered overwhelming support and that the change was way overdue. “It’s somewhat artificial to place women and men in dif ferent buildings,” he said. “The only Commercial: For-Profit 4 Lines, 4 Days $20.00 Up to 25 words.

Brad Lamb, Am at Law 919/932-1499 I-- 1 www.geocities.com/blamblaw Another main objection to the legisla tion was that it violated the “full faith and credit” clause of the U.S. Constitution, which requires states to abide by the laws of others. But a letter from the attorney general and legislative staff research laid this issue to rest for most lawmakers. “My questions regarding full faith and credit have been in large part answered by our staff,” said Speaker Pro Tern Joe Hackney, D-Orange, and a Chapel Hill lawyer and farmer. “I have less concern than I did have.” In addition to the bill, the House unanimously passed a nonbinding reso lution urging tobacco companies to buy more N.C. leaf to protect an industry already plagued by quota cuts and nat ural disasters this year. But the Senate did not adopt a similar resolution, as several members deemed the move inappropriate. Sen. Howard Lee, D-Orange, said, “It starts down a very bad road of trying to dictate to pri vate businesses what they should do.” other institution that does that is prison.” To ease the transition, Bresciani said housing officials talked to all men living in the halls last year and assured them that no one would have to leave. Junior Eric Boggs from Dallas, N.C., who has lived in Old West since his freshman year, said the men’s largest concern was that (he addition of women would disrupt the all-male community. “We were really afraid that there would be a lot of sexual tension,” he said. “It’s fine and dandy with all guys, but if a hot girl moves in upstairs, it can mess things up.” | For Sale^l FOR SALE FILE CABINET 4-drawer, lateral, lock Er keys 42X53X19' Like new S2OO 732-1729 or 966-9129.

Top UNC officials met Thursday to witness the unveiling of the Final Comprehensive Plan, which was com pleted after environmental firms Andropogon Associates and Cahill Associates spent the summer assessing UNC’s ecological features. Late Chancellor Michael Hooker conceived the Master Plan in 1998 as a blueprint for future University growth. The main goal for the plan is to allow for the campus’ physical growth, while still serving UNC’s threefold mission of teaching, research and public service. “It’s going to be a fluid plan that can change,” said Adam Gross from Ayers Saint Gross, the firm hired to begin the plan’s first projects. The plan maps out construction pro jects that will use existing free space on campus and demolish some structures to establish recreational space. It focuses on bringing the trademark essence of North Campus to South Campus, an area that is dominated by isolated buildings and roads that inhib it student interaction. But no definite timeline exists for the plan, as construction only will continue as funds become available through pri vate funding or endowments. Linda Convissor, project director for campus planning and facilities services, said no priority list exists to guide con struction as officials obtain money. But officials continue to forge ahead with the creation of the Master Plan. Call Courtnee Poole 962-3914 | Sublets^^l 2BR IN 3BR Apt Jan Hardwood floors, lots of light. 2 blocks from caumpus.

And new residence halls will add 3,000 beds across campus. Nearly 1.2 million gross square footage is scheduled for condemnation, including Venable Hall, while 6.8 million gross square feet are earmarked for resi dence halls, buildings or parking decks. The entire package entails 7.4 million gross square feet of construction. It also calls for the destruction of South Campus parking, freeing up 27 acres of land. The parking will be replaced by park ing decks that will be topped by a grassy quad to beautify the structure. The proposed grassy quads are just one example of how the committee hopes to increase environmental pres ence on campus. “This process is not only about protecting what we have, but restoring what we’ve destroyed,” said Michelle Cahill of Cahill Associates. Although no additional land has yet been purchased, Master Plan officials are considering tracts of land south of South Campus. But residents in that area, namely the Mason Farm neighborhood, are con cerned that the University has not included them in Master Plan decisions. Diana Steele, a Mason Farm resident and owner of Willow Hill School, said the plan worries her. “It is very unpleas ant to have this hanging over our head for an indefinite amount of time.” Convissor said she thought Thursday’s meeting was the most suc cessful to date. “Communication will go on from here to see if we can move for ward.” Line Classified Ads Noon, 1 business day prior to publication Display Classified Ads 3pm, 2 business days prior to publication | Tutoring ] ENGLISH.
