Residence Halls to Stay
Open During Fall Break
By Phiussa Cramer
Staff Writer
Housing officials have decided to break
from tradition this year and keep all resi
dence halls open during Fall Break, much
to the pleasure of many students who can
not easily make the brief trip home.
Under the new policy, students may
remain on campus when this year’s fall
recess begins at 5 p.m. on Oct. 17.
Residence halls were originally slated to
close one hour after the end of classes
on that day.
Rebecca Casey, assistant director of
the Department of Housing and
Residential Education, said all resident
assistants now are required to be on
campus during Fall Break. Housing staff
such as housekeepers, maintenance,
security and office assistants will not
have their schedules altered.
Students staying on campus during
Fall Break are required to inform their
RA or area director in advance, Casey
said. The deadline by which this must
be done will be set by each area director
and will be announced over each area’s
listserv.
During the summer, Department of
Housing and Residential Education
Director Christopher Payne revived an
ongoing discussion of residence hall
accessibility, especially in regards to
school breaks. “An increasing number of
students (were) requesting to stay, par
ticularly during Fall Break,’’ Casey said.
Housing officials did not elect to keep
the residence halls open for other breaks
because most of the demand centered
upon Fall Break.
Payne contacted the Residence Hall
Association and other housing coordina-

ated increases in tuition over the next
several years to address issues about the
quality of the education we provide,"
Moeser said in the address.
Moeser reiterated his commitment to
a five-year plan for increased tuition in
his remarks at Thursday’s BOT meeting.
In 1999, the BOT proposed a five-year
tuition increase plan at the recommen
dation of a committee - which included
two students - that was designed to
investigate faculty salary needs.
But the proposal was met with heavy
student protests, and the Board of
Governors shortened it to a two-year
plan. The N.C. General Assembly also
enacted a 9 percent across-the-board
tuition hike this semester.
Moeser said the effects of the previ

of which also was used to improve fac-

tors and received many responses sup
porting his proposal to keep the residence
halls open during Fall Break.
RHA President David Cooper said he
couldn’t present any reason why the hous
ing department should keep the residence
halls closed over the break. The decision
was made late this summer, and comes at
a particularly important time considering
widespread travel complications resulting
from the Sept 11 terrorist attacks.
Freshman Brian Bonaviri had
planned to return home to Boston for
the fall recess, but now he is not sure he
will be able to secure plane tickets.
“If I have to stay, I think it’s really cool
that I get to stay in my own room," he
said. In previous years, students needing
to stay on campus were consolidated for
interim housing in one or two locations.
While increased residence hall acces
sibility pleases many students, the new
plan could cause some minor problems
for other members of the campus com
munity. Maintenance work has tradi
tionally been done in the residence halls
during breaks, and resident assistants
use the time to check rooms for illegal
objects and appliances. These activities
will be performed during other breaks
or while rooms are occupied.
Having fewer people on campus also
increases the risk of security problems,
housing officials said. Public safety offi
cials caution all students remaining in
University housing during the recess.
But Cooper said he expects the new
housing policy to go off smoothly. “As
long as it happens without incident, I think
this is going to be something regular.”

ulty salaries, will be a main factor in the
decision to propose another increase.
“We plan to update our faculty salary
study to ensure we benchmark ourselves
with our peers nationally,” Moeser said.
Shelton said Tuesday that this research
is going to be key in the decision-making
process. “This isn’t something we are
going to do in a cavalier, simplistic man
ner,” Shelton said. “We need to gather
information and see where we are and
see if (an increase) makes sense.”
Shelton and Moeser both insisted that
any increase would not affect students
receiving need-based financial aid. About
one-third of the possible increase will be
used to ensure that no students will be
turned away because they cannot afford
the University, Moeser said. “We can
remain faithful to the State Constitution
by designating a significant portion of the
increase to need-based financial aid.”

Bush authorized SSOO million in grants
to the airlines to strengthen cockpit doors
and study technology that would allow
air traffic controllers to take control of a
plane if the pilot was incapacitated.
The president’s proposal stopped
short of assigning federal workers to secu
rity duties at airports, as is done in some
other countries. The U.S. Conference of
Mayors said Bush hadn’t gone far
enough, and appointed a task force to
come up with further security measures.
“We want a federal force that is equal
to or even better than the ones they have
in Israel and Germany and France,” said
executive director Tom Cochran.
Rep. James Oberstar of Minnesota, the
ranking Democrat on the House
Transportation Committee, also faulted
the president’s plan. “The most basic
responsibility of government is to protect
its citizens in acts of war that threaten safe
ty and security,” he said. “We wouldn’t
think of contracting out our army to pro
tect us against an open foreign invasion.”
Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle, D-S.D., said steps to improve
security should be linked with efforts to
provide unemployment compensation,
health care and job training to the peo
ple affected by more than 100,000 lay
offs in the airlines and related industries.
The administration said guard troops
would receive three or four days of
training from the Federal Aviation
Administration and would be stationed
at roughly 750 airport checkpoints
nationwide. The federal government
would absorb the cost, estimated at
between SIOO million to $l5O million.
The troops would augment current
security but not replace it
The SSOO million for security upgrades
would be used for immediate develop
ment of such measures as fortified cockpit
doors, a video system to allow the cockpit
crew to monitor the cabin, and transpon
ders - the instruments that allow air traf
fic controllers to track planes - that could
not be shut off, as was the case on one of
the hijacked planes.
The government would oversee pas
senger and baggage security checks, and
perform background checks on security
personnel. Uniformed federal workers
would manage all operations; federal
and nonfederal workers would share the
security work. Many airport security
workers would remain in die employ of
private companies but with increased
oversight by the government.

intelligence urged its European coun
terparts to begin rounding up suspects
before Sept. 11.
They include about two dozen people
arrested or detained in Spain, France,
Britain, the Netherlands and Belgium.
Several other suspected collaborators
remain at large, the officials said.
As the confrontation over bin Laden
has hardened, fears have grown over the
safety of eight foreign aid workers, includ
ing two Americans, accused last month of
preaching Christianity in Afghanistan.
On Thursday, diplomats were notified
that their trial, halted in the wake of the
terror strikes, would resume Saturday.

While the United States has sought to

a ragtag opposition alliance that has
struggled for years to wrest key territory
from Taliban troops.
The anti-government guerrillas have

Afghanistan, fighting has grown fiercer
in recent days. One forward patrol,

Taliban opened the door Thursday to the
possibility of outside mediation, saying
they would be willing to receive civil
rights leader Jesse Jackson as an envoy.
Jackson said he was invited by the
Taliban; the Taliban said it was Jackson
who approached them, but they were
willing to accept his offer to “mediate
between the Taliban and America.”
In any event, Bush administration offi
cials indicated they would discourage
such a trip. And Francesc Vendrell, head
of the U.N. special mission for
Afghanistan, told reporters in Islamabad:
“I’m afraid that when it comes to the
issue of bin Laden and the al-Qaida net
work, the time for negotiations with the
Taliban on this issue is past.”
