She said the committee will
focus on creative events to improve
the awareness of issues such as
homophobia in the classroom or
same-sex marriage. “What we’re
about is creative, direct action.”

Additionally, because of the tele
scope’s location in the Southern
Hemisphere, it will have a much
better view of the center of the
Milky Way Galaxy than can be
achieved in the Northern
Hemisphere.
An engineering test of the tele
scope Friday showcased images of
a globular cluster, pictures that sci
entists with the project said will
become several times clearer once
the telescope is fine-tuned.
“Our images will be absolutely
startling in their clarity,” said
Wayne Christiansen, professor of
astronomy and director of the
Morehead Observatory. “Best of
all is that the Southern sky is
absolutely amazing.”
The telescope is the realization
of a dream Carney and
Christiansen have had since they
came to the University’s physics
and astronomy department in
1986.

UNC shares SOAR with the
National Optical Astronomy

be guaranteed control of 124 half

The telescope gives both students
and faculty unprecedented access to
viewing, a change from before,
when they had to sign up for
national observatories, which often
have a wait of as long as a year.
Students and faculty will be
able to control the telescope and
view images from the Henry Cox
Remote Observing Center at the
Morehead Observatory, and stu
dents will be able to partake in a
related Burch Field Research
Seminar Program starting this
fall.

The blood provides the tumor
with nutrients and causes it to
grow.
Researchers found that the Kl
gene increases the presence of vas
cular endothelial growth factor,
which is responsible for bringing
blood vessels to the tumor.

research but that she wishes to
keep her plans a secret to other

“Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of
TV,” she continues, “and it’s driving
me crazy.”
Soon, it will be exam time, but
Chapman worries not. She’s been
through this seven times before.
Always being one to set goals for
herself, attainable or not,
Chapman says she has confirmed
quite a bit about her academic self.
Asa freshman, Dean’s List was a
goal. Straight A’s also was an aim.
After siie ponders back and assess
es, she figures that 90 percent of the
time, what she desires is doable.
“There have been moments
when I had to resort to hoping
instead of achieving,” she says. But
to Chapman the reward was

It requires technical standards
that will allow law enforcement
agencies to easily adapt old sur
veillance techniques to new tech
nology, according to a joint peti
tion filed by the FBI, the Drug
Enforcement Agency and the U.S.
Department of Justice.
The petition states that no new
surveillance powers are granted to
law enforcement by the act but
that current powers are preserved
under the law. “(The act’s) purpose
is to maintain the ability of law
enforcement to conduct lawful
electronic surveillance capabili
ties,” the petition stated.
But concerns regarding surveil
lance powers are not the primary
concern of many groups opposed
to the expansion.

for Internet 2, a Web-based net

for high-speed Internet activity,
including universities, said the
me, how far I can go to achieve
goals I set for myself.”
Chapman will leap into the world
with a degree in political science.
She laughs when thinking about
how indecisive she was about her
major during her freshman year.
During bouts with journalism
and mass communication, psy
chology and history, her waffling
afforded her the ability to fall into
political science. “A lot of the
majors had poli-sci classes in their
prerequisites,” she says.
Then comes the obligatory qual
ification often offered by seniors
soon to be students no longer: “I
don’t know what I’m going to do
with it, if anything.”
Chapman is jumping through
hoops in the job-finding circus.
With the high spirit she exudes, it’s
hard to decipher whether anxiety
about her future is getting to her.
“It is,” she starts simply. “I’m still
waiting to hear back.” Chapman

group is more concerned with the
act’s impact on innovation.
“If taken word for word, (the
act) will give law enforcement the
ability to tell every single universi
ty what technology to use,” Poliak
said.
She said the expansion of the act
to include broadband Internet and
telephony services would require
that Internet technology be tai
lored to law enforcement specifica
tions to allow the electronic equiv
alent of wiretaps.
But FBI spokesman Paul
Bresson said the act would not
grant the bureau or other agencies
the power to dictate the use or
implementation of Internet tech
nology. “The law is just requiring
they consider intercept solutions
when building the technology,” he
said.
According to the act’s Web site,
law enforcement would not have
the final say in technology changes.
“It is the FCC, not law enforce
ment, that decides whether any
capabilities should be added to the
pauses. “I’m not scared to be a
waitress if I don’t get a job.
“The idea of jumping into corpo
rate life at 22 is depressing. I want
a job that keeps me busy. I don’t
want to lose sleep over my life.”
Chapman’s summer plan is
designed to keep her mind off her
career. She’ll spend time back
home with her boyfriend, who
attends Princeton University.
Chapman says the two of them
have survived the distance, and he
is be arriving in Carrboro this night
for a weekend. So for now, it’s no
worrying about weeks ahead.
This is how Chapman likes life:
chaotic and challenging at deserv
ing times, lackadaisical and lulling
during days like today.
She admits she’s not a super
excited senior. Activities such as
climbing the Bell Tower only mild
ly interested her, and that interest
came only from a misunderstand
ing.

standard,” the site states.
In addition, the site states that
the FCC would be able to to deny
any petition for technology change
if it would impose unreasonable
costs on the information technolo
gy industry.
But Wigen said the FCC has no
authority to decide the issue
because law enforcement is asking
for anew law. “It is not (the FCC’s)
purview,” she said. “Even if they get
public comment, they don’t have
the authority to change the law.”
Wigen said Congress is the proper
forum for this discussion.
Still, Bresson said there is only
one group that can do the job.
“The FCC is the agency that is
required, or passed by law, to be
the purveyor of the disputes,” he
said.
Despite the contention between
law enforcement and Internet
groups, Poliak said, the groups are
not against helping federal officials.

“I had this image of myself scal
ing up the Bell Tower. I’m not
Carolina-sawy at all,” Chapman
says. So she passed on the ritual.
“Climb the side, I would. Climb the
stairs, I wouldn’t.”
Chapman attended her first bas
ketball game, which happened to be
against Duke University. She also
passed her swim test. And ultimate
ly, she did enjoy her stop in at UNC.
“I guess it’s been nice. It’s been
fun. I’ve loved certain things about
it. I hated certain things about it.
Other than that, it was just like life
in any other place.”
Soon her Carrboro bedroom will
be in cardboard boxes. Chapman
soaks in the room. Curtains with a
stained-glass color scheme float in
the pause. She says, “I’m thinking
(this will) probably be the biggest
bedroom I’ll be in for a while.”
