the process of evaluating where the
best opportunities are.”
Charlie Anderson, chairman of
student government’s Renewable
Energy Special Projects Committee,
said the committee is looking at
future projects, which would be sim
ilar to the Morrison renovations.
“Carmichael is getting their
cooling system renovated, which
might be a good opportunity for
water heating,” Anderson said.
“Most of our projects are solar
thermal because it’s the most cost
effective use of solar energy. It will
pay for itself.”
Payne said the Department of
Housing and Residential Education
is striving to incorporate “green
ideals” into all renovation or new
construction.
“We will use central air-condi

LOBBYING
FROM PAGE 3
While Ducote’s position is
unique to the UNC system, it is not
the first of its kind. The University
of California system has external
affairs offices at many of its mem
ber institutions.
Elizabeth Hall is the external
affairs president at the University
of California-Berkeley, and many
of Ducote’s goals mirror Hall’s
agenda.
In addition to advocating more
access to higher education for undoc
umented immigrants, Hall and her
staff have their sights focused on the
higher education act.
“We are also going to be lobby
ing for the reauthorization of the
Higher Education Act,” she said.
She said Ducote likely will have
more direct access to Washington
players from the East Coast than her
office can manage from California.

water.”
Payne said he is excited about
the use of green energy on UNC’s
campus.
“Charlie Anderson really repre

mittee) in terms of how student
fees will be used,” Payne said. “It’s
been a wonderful example of col
laboration.”

To get around the distance bar
rier, Hall said her office uses let
ter-writing and calling campaigns
in addition to meeting with rep
resentatives when they are in the
state.
Ducote’s position, while similar
to Hall’s, is more comprehensive,
considering he must represent all
16 UNC-system campuses, whereas
Hall represents one.
Ducote is uncertain when he will
begin traveling to Washington. But
when he does, he will have his work
cut out for him because a represen
tative’s time is limited. “You only get
five to 10 minutes at most because
they’ve got a lot to do.”
But Samors said he is confident
in Ducote’s ability to do the job. “I
think (he) has a good solid under
standing of the political and legis
lative system.”

halt the project after the first phase
if things “went sour” without a sig
nificant impact.
But some members of the com
mittee had concerns about the
proposal.
Town Manager Cal Horton said
he was worried the town would
not be able to foot the nearly S2O
million bill for building the tran
sit transfer center if they do not
receive federal funding.
But Stainback pointed out that
the plan would allow at least 27
months between the start of the
project and ground breaking on the
transit center, giving the town time
to find a source for the money.
“That gives you plenty of time to
get your act together,” he said.
There also was some concern
about the temporary loss of the
137 parking spots from parking
lot 5, but Strom and town Finance
Director Kay Johnson both thought
the issue could be handled.

“With this kind of impetus, we
can find 137 spots somewhere,”
Strom said. “I don’t know how, but
we can do it.”
Johnson also pointed out that
the Wallace garage, which will
remain open during its expansion,
is rarely at capacity and could
probably handle some of lot s’s
lost spots.
Will Reed, an associate of
Stainback who will help develop
the feasibility model, said the proj
ect will cost about SBO million.
The town would be able to pay
for $lO million of that through
the property taxes and land lease
income generated by the new
developments.
The remaining S7O million
would be paid for through leas
ing by the developers of the new
facilities.
“There’s no raising taxes,” Reed
said. “It’s financial feasibility that
makes that possible.”

it better than other universities.”
Researchers at UNC will reap
benefits from the reorganization of
the campus network. The changes
will provide the sciences, arts and
humanities an opportunity to pursue
projects not previously possible.
Egan said Reed is maximizing the
resources UNC has and is providing
the opportunity for faculty and stu
dents to take advantage of techno
logical advancements.
One example of how research will
flourish from the integrated network
is potential collaboration between
biology and medicine researchers.
Reed said the partnership will give
scientists a more comprehensive
understanding of their work.
“Administrations will be able
to manage information more effi
ciently,” Reed said.
lb complete this task, Reed has
examined the computer network’s
organizational structure and figured
out what is lacking.
“What he’s doing is going to
streamline services and create a sim
pler organizational structure,” said

DAN REED, vice chancellor for it
Sherry Graham, director of response
services at ATN. “It will save money
and time.”
Reed said hiring additional peo
ple to advance the network is a step
that will lead to greater productivity.
“On the highest level, we are putting
together a strategic plan to improve
things into the future,” he said.
As the new initiatives are being
executed, Reed said feedback from
students and faculty is vital for the
network to run efficiently.
“I want to hear from diem if stu

computing could be improved,” he
said. “That will get us where we need
to be.”
