2 THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 2004 lowa propelling N.H. campaigns BY TRISTAN SHOOK STAFF WRITER After lagging behind, U.S. Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and John Edwards, D-N.C., rallied the sup port of undecided lowa caucus vot ers and now have necessary momentum going into Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary. Kerry and Edwards finished first and second, respectively, in Monday’s lowa caucus. Kerry gar nered 38 percent of the Democratic vote and Edwards finished with 32 percent Many point to the senators’ ability to attract last minute voters as the reason for their success. “Kerry and Edwards gave them something to think about,” said Ferrel Guillory, director of UNC’s Program on Southern Politics, Media and Public Life. “In Edwards’ case it was his buoyancy and his criticism of Bush’s economics. In Kerry’s case it was less on Bush’s economics than it was rethinking foreign policy and the argument that he is more electable than (Howard) Dean.” B.J. Rudell, who headed 2000 presidential candidate Bill Bradley’s southwest New Hampshire primary campaign, said that Kerry and Edwards were able to “sneak up” in part because of the lowa caucus structure. In the caucus, supporters of candidates who do not receive 15 percent of the vote are required to select a second candidate. Dean’s appeal did not resonate with supporters of U.S. Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., and other more mainstream candidates, so many of them opted for Kerry and Edwards, Rudell said. “Dean was not a lot of people’s second choice,” Rudell said. “He is Saibj alar Jferi P.O.

Dean, the front runner in many polls taken prior to the caucus, is expected to face a tough challenge from Kerry and Edwards, as well as retired Gen. Wesley Clark who chose not to run in lowa. “Clark is a very appealing candi date in a unique way,” Rudell said. “He has a quiet backing and lots of institutional support.” There are even rumors that President Bill Clinton is backing Clark, he said. For Kerry and Edwards, the New Hampshire primary will be an opportunity to capitalize on the momentum from lowa. On Monday, the day that President Bush delivered his State of the Union address, Edwards offered his own in Manchester, N.H. He started his week of cam paigning in the state with the same message of reconciling economic disparity that attracted lowa voters. Kerry began his New Hampshire run with a Town Hall Chili Feed at Pembroke Academy. “It seems that the voters in New Hampshire will take a fresh look at Kerry and Edwards,” Guillory said. Last minute voters might propel the Kerry and Edwards campaigns again. As in lowa, many voters in New Hampshire have yet to decide on a candidate, Rudell said. “They don’t want to meet a can didate once. They want to meet them twice. They want them to come to their home,” he said. “New Hampshire voters are very savvy.” Contact the State Csf National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

State, UNC To focus on study of nanotechnology BY IRIS PADGETT STAFF WRITER The new Triangle National Lithography Center not only will break ground in the field of nan otechnology, but also marks the cooperation of two rival universi ties. UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor James Moeser and N.C. State University Chancellor Marye Anne Fox presided Tuesday over the ded ication of the new center, a joint project between their schools. UNC-system President Molly Broad also was present to com memorate the occasion. The center, located on N.C. State’s Centennial Campus, is Middle class hardest hit by tuition hike BY MEGAN DAVIS STAFF WRITER As small business owners trying to support two daughters and save for their own retirement, UNC parents Eden and Terry Scott said there isn’t much extra money at the end of the day. The Scotts, categorized by the University as middle-class, saved their few spare dollars, promising their daughter Gale Scott that if she made the commitment to get into the competitive school from out of state they would make it possible for her to attend. The freshman from Auburn, Ala., sold her car to finance her first-year tuition payments. Money was tight, but based on the 3 per cent to 5 percent annual tuition increases estimated on the University’s cashier Web site, Gale UNC-system faculty to unite in lobbying effort THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTE Faculty at North Carolina’s 16 public univer sities plan to work together to lobby lawmakers for pay raises. The topic is scheduled for dis cussion at Friday’s meeting of the Faculty Assembly, which repre sents professors at the 16 Minor in Writing for the Screen & Stage Drawing faculty from communication studies, jErjXjp creative writing and dramatic art, this exciting minor emphasizes the craft of I writing for film, television and stage, I and reouires five courses.

I APPLICATIONS ARC DU€ By 5.00 PM FCBRUARy 18 designed for use in nanofabrication the design and manufacture of computer chips and other devices measured in nanometers, which are one-billionth of a meter long. “We’ve surpassed the elite of the elite in the capability to make fea tures on this small of a scale,” said Joe Desimone, an adjunct chem istry professor at both schools. Desimone is the director of the National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center, of which the TNLC is an off-shoot. The center is expected to attract nanoscience researchers locally and nationally, said Desimone. Mark Crowell, UNC-CH Associate Vice Chancellor for Scott’s family felt secure they had made the necessary concessions to send her to UNC for four years. Wednesday’s approved proposal to increase nonresident tuition by $1,500 next year, makes tuition payments a larger feat than the Scott family ever had expected. Members of the Board of Trustees expressed concern about the implications the increase will have on middle-class families at their Wednesday meeting. “Whatever we do, we can’t have a situation where people can’t come back to Carolina because of the increase,” said Trustee Karol Mason. Shirley Ort, director of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid, said students who do not qual ify for need-based aid can take out nonsubsidized loans at an interest rate of 3.2 percent. University of North Carolina cam puses. “People are getting angry,” said UNC-Charlotte education Professor Jeff Passe, chairman of the Faculty Council. It’s been four years since facul ty have gotten significant salary increases from the state. That 4.2 Economic Development, sees the TNLC as a tool for promoting interaction between universities. “Nanotechnological discoveries can go much further, and it is eas ier to partner with industries when we work together,” Crowell said. Desimone said the center will serve as a training ground for stu dents, who will travel from sur rounding universities. Carlton Osburn, director of the TNLC, said students from both UNC-CH and N.C. State as well as other universities can come to the center, get qualified and use the equipment. If the equipment is too compli cated for students to run, staff will be available to help, he said. Equipment such as a $lO mil lion, 193-nanometer lithography Jerry Lucido, director of under graduate admissions, said his office will work with Ort’s to counsel stu dents with financial concerns. He said that the loans will help students cope with the increase and that he does not think the hike will affect admissions significantly. The Scott family, who earns between SBO,OOO and $90,000 annually, is disqualified from aid in the form of subsidized loans. They already have taken out student loans at a 2.7 percent interest rate, but will need to take out more. “There’s no chance that we would take her out of school, but it’s still a tremendous burden,” said her father Eden Scott. Estimates from the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid state nonresident students such as Gale Scott already pay $25,436 after percent raise in 2000-01 was fol lowed by a flat $625 increase in 2001-02. The following year, the state gave professors no additional money. And last year, lawmakers gave faculty the same one-time bonuses all state employees received: $550 for the year.

Desimone said the cutting edge technology has the potential to cre ate new types of businesses. Osburn said the center will ben efit local economic development by giving local and start-up compa nies the ability to fabricate research ideas and create nanos tructures in large amounts. “Previously, only semiconductor manufacturers had access to this kind of technology,” Osburn said. “We are hoping to change that landscape.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. books, housing, board and person al and travel expenses. Gale Scott was offered out-of state tuition waiver scholarships to the University of Georgia and a full scholarship to Auburn University, but she turned them down in favor of a one-time $5,000 scholarship from UNC’s Department of Music, a scholarship that has been deval ued by the tuition increase. Forty percent of the tuition increase will be put toward need based scholarships. Gale Scott will not qualify for this money, though her family says they need it. “I think (UNC) is in danger of saying ‘We value you more for the money you bring than for what else you have to offer,’” Terry Scott said. Contact the University Editor at udesk.unc.edu. Passe said businesses, private colleges and public universities with unions are luring good pro fessors. Those who stayed, he said, haven’t fought back but they’re running out of patience. That’s happening across the country, said Travis Reindl, direc tor of state policy analysis for the Association of State Colleges and Universities. “I think you can go for a couple of years without a significant adjustment and not necessarily have a groundswell of discontent,” Reindl said. “You get much beyond that and you’ll start to see people get really motivated (to get organized) or you'll start to see flight or you'll see both.” The professors have support from the UNC Board of Governors, which oversees the 16 campuses. The board asked the state for 6 per cent raises for faculty last year and another 6 percent this year. Students are behind them, too. “It’s by and far time for the state to cowboy up and make the invest ment in having quality teachers while keeping the university acces sible,” said Jonathan Ducote, the student representative to the Board of Governors. “You just can’t expect to keep the bright and best minds in North Carolina if you’re not going to pay them the same amount that their peers are making in California or at other universities across the nation or around the world.” Professors want the money for the raises to come from the state budget, not students’ pockets. They haven’t decided how much they will seek.
