£hp Sailg ®ar HM 89 missing from Russian airlines THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW A Russian airliner crashed and a second disappeared from radar about the same time Ihesday night after both planes took off from the Moscow airport, raising fears that terrorism was involved. There was no word on survivors among the 89 people believed to be aboard the planes, which left from Moscow’s Domodedovo airport, Russian news agencies reported. President Vladimir Putin ordered an investigation by the nation’s top intelligence agency, and security was tightened at air ports across the country. Authorities have expressed con cern that separatist rebels in the breakaway republic of Chechnya could carry out attacks linked to this Sunday’s presidential election there. Rebels have been blamed for a series of terror strikes that have claimed hundreds of lives.

Cancer Hospital, said patients are bur dened by the structure. The facility is unable to provide the full range of treatment and research for every patient simply because there isn’t enough room. New technology doesn’t physi cally fit in the building, patients are packed into overcrowded che motherapy units and outpatient clinic facilities struggle to run smoothly. Goldberg said that by tripling the size of the new facility, the clinical area will reach the same level of excellence as the research division. He added that patients will be able to receive care and participate in experimental treatments that they might normally have to travel to receive. “It’s like one-stop shopping,” Goldberg said.

Witnesses reported seeing an explosion before the first plane crashed about 125 miles south of Moscow, and authorities were not ruling out terrorism, the agency said. The.

The new hospital already has retained an architectural and con struction management firm, and the design for the developmental phase is complete. Earp added that groundbreak ing on the new facility could occur in late 2005 and that construction will start no later than 2006. The center is estimated to be complete in about three years. The Lineberger Center now employs about 250 faculty mem bers, and the new facility will draw in about 50 more within the next decade. And the new hospital will add, in all, about 350 new jobs and will help attract more biotechnology and pharmaceutical research to Research Triangle Park. “It’s a reality much sooner because of the legislative fund ing,” Goldberg said. “It’s a great example of the state supporting the needs of'the people of the state.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. From Page One The service is the successor to the Soviet-era KGB. A Hi-134 airliner with 43 people aboard crashed in the Ttda region, 125 miles south of Moscow, at about 10:56 p.m. Tuesday, Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Marina Ryklina said. She said the plane was carry ing 35 passengers and a crew of eight. ITAR-Tass reported that the plane belonged to Volgograd-based airline Volga-Aviaexpress and was being piloted by the company’s been recognized and approved by the University,” the statement reads. “None of our groups have experienced discrimination based on our particular form of religious expression by the University.” Association members said it was important to make a public state ment on behalf of other campus faith groups. “We’re committed to the free doms that the University is com mitted to as well,” said Or Mars, executive director of N.C.

He estimated that the project will generate 15 to 20 high-paying clinical (acuity jobs, as well as 250 jobs from construction. In addition, a UNC-CH report on the future N.C. Cancer Hospital said the facility is expected to gen erate $405 million and 3,271 jobs by 2010. At ECU, the cardiovascu lar center is expected to generate 500 jobs, with immediate eco nomic effects reaching S3OO mil lion in construction and payroll. Long-term impacts could reach $34 million per year, according to the press release. The governor’s office also is pre dicting that the medical centers will create an extra S7OO million in economic activity, in addition to 2,500 jobs from construction. And they also could help the state’s unemployment rate, which is already on a downward track. The number of jobless North Carolinians dropped to 5 percent in July, down from 5.5 percent in June and considerably lower than director. Rescuers found the jet’s tail near the village of Buchalki, Interfax reported.

Walter Jones, R-N.C., sent a letter to the Department of Education last week, requesting an investigation into the “ongoing problem of censorship of Christian students” at UNC.

The new facilities will create irreplaceable jobs, said Amy Fulk, press secretary for Senate President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, D-Dare. “The jobs that this will create in the health care field are jobs that can’t be shipped to other places.” Crunching the numbers The medical centers package was just one of many issues worked out in this summer’s legislative session, and it did not come without a few curve balls. Initially, it looked to include only SIBO million for the cancer center and S6O million for the heart and stroke center. But by the end of the session, legislators hammered out a plan including $35 million each for a bioinformatics center at UNC- Charlotte and a wellness center at UNC-A, as well as S2B million for the pharmacy school at ECSU. Legislators also carved out $lO million each for a teaching and nursing center at Fayetteville State University; a health consortium at Western Carolina University; an optometry school at UNC- WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2004 SCHOOLKIDS FROM PAGE 1 store is similar to that of the old one: The bright walls are plastered with posters, though many of the shelves still were bare Tuesday morning. The two stores are linked by computer, allowing cashiers to keep track of both stores’ invento ry in real time as customers make purchases. “If they pick up a certain CD say, the new Wilco CD if we have a used copy (in the other store), it will show up on their sys tem,” Roberson said. The new store will carry more CAMPUS Y FROM PAGE 1 funds. During the course of the next six years, the Campus Y raised $3 mil lion, mostly through alumni dona tions, Dubose said. But serious deterioration led campus leaders to request fund ing from the trustees. Bruce Runberg, associate vice chancellor for planning and con struction, told trustees during their May meeting that the top floors of the building had been condemned and were inaccessible. He also said that recent flooding Pembroke; property purchases at Winston-Salem State University and the N.C. School of the Arts; and a Millennial Campus at N.C. Agricultural and Technical State University and UNC-Greensboro. Financing the package will add $468 million in debt to the state’s total. The home stretch Because most of the projects in the final package were added dur ing the summer, only the cancer center and heart and stroke center have been given clearance by the UNC-system Board of Governors. Asa result, board members will have to sit down at the September meeting and analyze what legisla tors have handed them, said BOG Chairman Brad Wilson. The Senate version of the bill included the UNC-CH and ECU projects, and then the House version tacked on the centers at ECSU, UNC-A and UNC-G. Soon, members thought other places in the state should also reap the ben efits, Fulk said. “You have to make sure that at the end of the day, if used vinyl records in response to increased demand, Culross said. Independently produced albums also are increasing in sales, he said. “There has been a huge shift from the major labels,” he said. “A lot of bands have left them.” Culross said Schoolkids, which has been around for 30 years, will continue to be a mainstay for music enthusiasts. “There is a counterculture that needs to thrive,” he said. “We’re hoping to bring more and do more.” Contact theA&E Editor at artsdesk@une.edu. in the basement had caused mold to spread, damaging the building’s wooden frame. The trustees were sympathetic to the Campus Ys cause, but rather than rescind a previous decision by the board, they appointed a com mittee to reanalyze the situation. The committee convinced the trustees to allot funding for the Campus Y by describing how the proposed renovations will create a multifunction space that can be used by faculty, staff and stu dents.

For the UNC-C bioinformat ics center and UNC-A wellness center, which were already on the October agenda, the process is just a matter of form, Wilson said. If BOG members think a project should be reconsidered, they will let legislators know, he said. Some projects are still in the planning stages and will require further scrutiny. But in the end, the board does not have that discretion. Still, Wilson said, though board members are grateful for the money, the process is in place for a reason. “All of that is a process that has served the university well for over 30 years.” Contact the State & National ■ Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. 7
