Tickets for the hip-hop artist’s performance sold out Friday, with the last two going out through the Memorial Hall box office, box office representatives said Friday. Kim McAuley, a junior who works in the Student Union box office, said lines were long Tuesday when ticket sales first opened. “The line was wrapped around into the Great Hall, and it was non stop the first day,” said McAuley, who has worked the box office since September. She said she had never seen it so busy. McAuley said Tuesday saw the longest lines. Wednesday and Thursday had steady sales, and tick ets sold out around noon Friday. “I think things are going really Cobb completion date pushed back Move-in process to begin Nov. 1 BY ALLISON NICHOLS STAFF WRITER After months of delay, students displaced from Cobb Residence Hall have been told that when they move in Nov. 1, the renova tion project still will not be com pleted. ‘The four Cobb residential floors are scheduled to be finished by Oct. 31, but renovation of the basement will not be completed, according to an e-mail sent to Cobb resi dents by Larry Hicks, director of the department of housing and residential education.

CAA President Justin Johnson said the ticket sales rate bodes well for the Homecoming concert Oct. 30. well,” said Justin Johnson, presi dent of the Carolina Athletic Association, which is presenting the concert in conjunction with the Carolina Union Activities Board. “It’s definitely a great collabo ration this year ... it was just great working with CUAB,” Johnson said. LuShawn Coleman, chairwom an of the CUAB performing arts committee, said organizers were confident that tickets for the show would go fast. Coleman said they had been talking about the possibility of bringing the hip-hop artist to UNC since early in the summer. She said tickets went fast because tractor has not been hired. Current estimates project that the move will take between two and three weeks, but the exact time frame will not be known until the movers are hired, said Rick Bradley, assistant director of housing and residential education. Students say they have mixed feelings about moving back into Cobb mid-semester. Sophomore Chris McCurdy said that he had been told that U-Hauls would be provided, but that “We’ll see if they follow up on that.” McCurdy said that he and his roommates had been hoping to be situated in Cobb by Halloween, but that they still are excited for the upcoming move. Baity Hill resident sophomore Raymond Shen said that he and others have been anticipating mov ing back to Cobb for a long time, but that moving will be time con suming. “It feels like just more work to do,” he said.

Johnson said the rate of ticket sales was a good indication that plans for the concert, to be held Oct. 30, are going well. “We had heard a good response from students,” Johnson said, attributing the success of the open ing ticket sales to the collaboration between CUAB and CAA. “I think it’s going to be a concert that students at Carolina are going to appreciate and one of the best Homecomings in a while.” Contact the A&E Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu. “We won’t know what problems may come up until we have bodies living in (Cobb).” RICK BRADLEY, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ished until around Thanksgiving, Bradley said. Contractor presence will con tinue at Cobb for the remainder of the semester for any problems that might arise, he said. “We won’t know what problems may come up until we have bodies living in the space,” he said. Bradley said a punch list will be developed after students move in to determine what else needs to be done. Typically, he said, such lists are fairly long, and might include adjustments to elevators, fixing water pipes routed incorrectly so that hot water comes out of the cold faucet or other minor issues.
