Sullivan informed the business school faculty and staff of his resigna tion Tuesday after making his final deci sion to accept a position at the University of California-San Diego on Saturday. Julie Collins, senior associate dean of UNC Center Could Get Startup Funding Provision requires Easley to allot S6M By Cleve R. Wootson Jr. Assistant State & National Editor N.C. Senate leaders revived hopes Wednesday for a $l3O million UNC Hospitals cancer treatment center by directing Gov. Mike Easley to find $6 million in startup funding. Amy Fulk, spokeswoman for Senate President Pro Tern Marc Basnight, D- Dare, said the Senate amended the existing economic incentives bill to include a provision calling for Easley to locate $6 million to officially start the center’s planning process. The new provision comes just a day after the N.C. Senate determined that a bill providing the full $l3O million lacked the support to pass both legisla tive chambers. Once allocated by the governor, the funds would be used by the UNC-sys tem Board of Governors to make gen eral plans about location, infrastructure and utilities, said Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland. The $6 million also would be used in part to fund planning for a $45 million biopharmaceutical research facility at N.C. State University. The economic incentives legislation that includes the $6 million provision goes to a final vote in the Senate today. If it passes, it must be approved by the House, where the legislation’s fate is less certain. The House Finance Committee voted down the bill providing full fund ing for the center Monday. But many senators believe the eco nomic incentives legislation - including the section about the treatment center - should go through. “This has always been the Senate’s position, and we’re doing everything we can do make it a reality,” Rand said. But Danny Lineberry, spokesman for House Speaker Jim Black, D- Mecklenburg, said he is not sure whether the House will pass the amend ed legislation today. Some legislators - primarily House members - said funding the $l3O mil lion project despite the state’s precarious budget situation would send a mixed message to voters. Others said the legis lation’s introduction late in the session might be detrimental to its passage. “The issue is the fact that it’s October and it’s too late in the session,” Lineberry said. The Senate passed an adjournment resolution Tuesday. If the house approves it, the N.C. General Assembly will end its prolonged session at 4 p.m. today.

Hole in the Wall to Holy Grail By Meredith Jones Staff Writer Whether your Thursday night goal is to listen to Radiohead on the jukebox, sip a martini while listening to a jazz trio or simply consume as many draught pitchers as humanly possible, one of downtown Chapel Hill’s 28 bars has what you’re look ing for. From dive bars to upscale bars, UNC students’ favorite hangouts offer a variety of drinks, moods and music. Bringing an alternative perspec tive to the downtown Chapel Hill bar scene are bars like Hell, Henry’s Bistro at 403 W. Rosemary St. and the Carolina Coffee Shop at 138 E. Franklin St. A self-professed “townie,” senior anthropology major Will Harmon said the jukebox is one of the rea sons he frequents Hell, located at 157 E. Rosemary St. He said it is a bar with style, good specials and lots of people he knows. But bars such as Lucy’s Restaurant at 114 Henderson St., La Residence, Top of the Hill at 103 E. Franklin St. and East End Oyster and Martini Bar say they boast a style of their own. Lucy’s Manager Linanne Kulic said her bar is unique because it is clean, classy and offers a more upscale bar setting. “We have a wide range of customers,” she said. “We have the foot ball players, undergraduates, graduate students - people come to Lucy’s to be seen.” And East End owner Howard McDonald, one of three people to claim ownership of East End, located at 201 E. Franklin St., in May of this year, said though his bar has an upscale atmosphere, man agement has been trying to do away with the perception that their bar Thursday, October 3, 2002 1. “It’s a unique time to rethink what a graduate business school should be,” Sullivan said. “I like to innovate and create new things.” Sullivan pushed for imaginative plans to further the business school’s standing Business School Dean Robert Sullivan will leave at the end of the calendar year.

In hopes of furthering international relations, Sullivan supported the devel opment of a Kenan-Flagler satellite branch in Qatar, a country in the Middle East Chancellor James Moeser opted to abandon the plan in February after disagreements with Qatari offi cials. The recent success, national ranking and positive momentum of the business school were factors that Sullivan said helped him make his decision. After achieving such improvements at UNC, he sought anew challenge. “I’m a beer and a shot kind of guy, and I’ll drink at the bar that fits that bill. ” Ken Achenbach Manager, Kirkpatrick’s the end of the night,” he said. Top of the Hill Manager Nick Stevens said that although he wants to foster diversity, he also wants the bar to have a touch of class, to be somewhere a litde bit nicer than the average bar. “We want to provide a place where the beer connoisseur and the average college student can come and enjoy the atmosphere,” he said. But Goodfellows regular and UNC senior Aynsley Pirtle said the atmosphere at a bar like Goodfellows, located at 149 E. Franklin St., is better than Top of the Hill. “Top of the Hill is pretentious for no particular reason,” she said. “I can walk into Goodfellows in baggy jeans and a T-shirt and still feel comfortable. “It’s not all about the look here.” See BARS, Page 4 “I like to do the extraordinary,” Sullivan said. The search for Sullivan’s replace ment will be through the office of the provost. Collins will hold the position of inter im dean until the search for a perma nent dean has been completed, Shelton said. “My primary goal is to keep the school in the very positive direction it’s been going in,” Collins said. Shelton said he hopes to find a dean See SULLIVAN, Page 4 is expensive with a recendy revised menu that includes 101 martinis and lowered drink prices. East End waitress Mirian Stanley said the dinner jazz music, the upscale atmosphere and the Diamond Dole - an infused vodka drink - is what attracts its cus tomers. “We aren’t a hole in the wall,” she said. “Everybody is dressed up.” Although the customers aren’t always dressed up at La Rez, located at 202 W. Rosemary St., Manager Dieter Gualtieri said owners built their customer base this summer when students realized they offered a big patio and warm cookies late at night. “We have the best atmosphere; we’re the bar that people come to at Weather Today: Partly Cloudy; H 90, L 63 Friday: Partly Cloudy; H 84, L 62 Saturday: Few Showers; H 84, L 62 www.dailytarheel.com Rating Higher Education The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education released its second review of five areas of higher education in North Carolina. ’OO ’O2 Preparation of students for college B B+ Percentage of residents attending college 0 C+ Affordability of college A C Percentage of students earning degrees B+ B Benefits gained front a more educated population D+ D+ SOURCE: THE (RALEIGH) NEWS & OBSERVER DTH/GRACE OH N.C. Gets V Mark In College Pricing Broad says system remains affordable By Cleve R. Wootson Jr. Assistant State & National Editor A report released by a higher educa tion group Tuesday states that N.C. higher education is losing its affordabil ity, but many administrators say rising costs have not limited access to the state’s colleges and universities. The report, released by the California-based National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, states that although North Carolina has improved at preparing students for col lege, state officials aren’t making enough effort to sustain affordability. The state’s affordability grade dropped to a “C” from the “A” it received two years ago, when the report was first published. Will Doyle, senior policy analyst for the center, said higher education systems are graded on their benefit to the state. All states were compared to the high est-ranking state in a particular catego ry. California was deemed most afford able this year. Doyle said the poorest families in that state pay only 3 percent of the cost of higher education. The average cost of full-time enrollment at California com munity colleges is $390, he said. But UNC-system President Molly Broad said California was ahead of all states in affordability because its General Assembly “passed a mammoth expansion in need-based programs.” “It was so substantial that the gap See REPORT CARD, Page 4 'Water Wars' To Encourage Conservation By Lance Johnson Staff Writer A University task force designed to tackle the water shortage problems that continue to flood the area met for the second time Wednesday to discuss its plans.
