4 MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2003 BOG seeks SI7OM for fixes BY CLEVE R. WOOTSON JR. STATE & NATIONAL EDITOR The UNC-system Board of Governors on Friday officially asked the N.C. General Assembly for about $l7O million for repairs and renovations to state universi ties, particularly two universities with severe mold problems. In one resolution, the board requested $25.8 million in emer gency funding to take care of mold problems that have forced hun dreds of students at N.C. Central University into hotels this semes ter. That resolution also requests $3.5 million to pay for emergency remediation of a mold problem discovered at UNC-Pembroke ear lier this month. The other request is for $l3B million slated for the system’s repairs and renovation fund. The money is the system’s share of a fund used to repay bond debt. System officials expected to receive the money at the end of the 2003 legislative session in a bill that corrects mistakes in past legislation. Ultimately, however, the bill did not pass the legislature, but both !■■■■■■■■ ■ ■■■■■■■ Monday Tuesday All you Can Eat 2-for-1 Spaghetti 8-oz.

Presented by the College of Arts & Sciences with funding from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Developmen t THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL the House and Senate versions of the legislation indicated that 46 percent of the total fund should go to the UNC system. Budget and Finance Committee Chairman Jim Phillips said the money is sorely needed by individ ual universities. “The needs are urgent,” he said. “We have facilities and students who, in one department, have wonderful new or renovated facili ties and, in others, still have roof leaks.” Jeff Davies, UNC-system vice president for finance, originally presented a draft resolution to the board’s Budget and Finance com mittee last Thursday that grouped the mold and the repair and reno vation issues together. But committee members, espe cially former BOG Chairman Ben Ruffin, indicated that the original resolution did not communicate adequately the emergency nature of the mold problems at NCCU and UNC-P. “This is a nice, vanilla resolu tion,” he said after the presentation of the original draft. News “It does not address an emer gency situation. It is not an emer gency resolution.... If we don't call it an emergency, (legislators) won’t understand.” The new resolution states that NCCU has implemented emer gency procedures of its own: clos ing two residence halls, putting students up in hotels, “requiring significant expenditures of funds and denying students an on-cam pus housing experience.” The BOG's resolution also makes the point that emergency money to address the mold situa tions should be taken separate from the relatively routine repairs and renovation funding the state allocates to the system each vear. “N.C. Central and UNC- Pembroke have problems that need to be dealt with immediately,” Ruffin said. “We don’t want to fix the mold problems on the backs of other campuses that have repair and ren ovation needs.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. Summer book selection begins BY TIM PRICE STAFF WRITER Members of the 2004 Carolina Summer Reading Program Book Selection Committee are consider ing carefully a list of about 500 books after two years of controver sy regarding previous selections. The committee, which compris es three students, three faculty' members and three administra tors, met for the first time Thursday to discuss the list of books. The list is drawn from a mixture of student, staff and faculty sug gestions made during a week-long call for ideas, as well as recom mendations from the incoming freshman class based on its experi ences with the program.

There has been no decision regarding any of the books since the committee still is working to coordinate its efforts. “There’s no leaning in any direc tion. What we’re really looking for is the best book that meets the guidelines,” said Jan Bardsley, chairwoman of the selection com mittee.

Even with the strong public interest in the committee’s deci sions, the meetings are being kept confidential. Committee meetings are closed to the public and press, and mem bers aren’t permitted to discuss the decision process. Committee members felt strongly about being able to dis cuss the books in private, without worrying about public scrutiny, Deshotels said. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
