The technology used will be sim ilar to that in some Dey Hall class rooms. Along w ith the Internet upgrade, a DVD player and a VCR machine will be added to Greenlaw’s classrooms, Gillis said. The Greenlaw Hall renovation will be broken dow r n into four phases, Gillis said. The first phase will involve work on the ground floor's lobby and classrooms and renovation on a second floor classroom, she said. “The work in the lobby will cre ate a corridor from the stairs to outside," Gillis said. To renovate the lobby, construc tion workers will have to travel through the plaza of Lenoir Hall to transport equipment, she said. Though this might present a challenge for the heavy traffic through the area during the day, much of the work will be done in the early morning, Gillis said.

On Nov. 5, Carrboro police reports state that three men attacked a man by cutting him with a knife and robbed him in a fenced off to hold materials. The other three phases will deal with nine other classrooms on the remaining floors. Bland Simpson, director of the creative writing program, said he has no problem with the actual construction. His only issue is the scheduling conflicts, he said. Some classrooms won't be usable during parts of the project. “You can’t renovate the entire University without inconvenience so, so what," Simpson said. Greenlaw' was built in 1.970, and in 1975 the University modified the building to make it more accessible. No other changes have been made since then, Gillis said. Kirby Stirland, a sophomore journalism major, said the overall appearance of Greenlaw is outdat ed compared to nearby buildings. She said the additions will improve students’ learning experience. “I’m new to UNC, and it seems like an older building. More technology in classrooms is always better you have more capability to do things.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@une.edu parking lot.

Eight years after earning his law degree from the University', he will return to serve as the new assistant dean of students for judicial pro grams —a position with the core duty of supervising the student legal system. The Office of the Dean of Students announced Sauls’ appointment this week, and mem bers of the search committee said his connection to UNC carried great weight in the decision. “He’s a product of this system,” said Winston Crisp, senior associ ate dean of students. “In addition, he’s just an extremely intelligent, extremely talented communicator, who will be able to interact with people of all levels at this institution,” he said. The position has been vacant since late July after former Assistant Dean Dave Gilbert left to pursue a similar job opportunity at the College of William and Maiy. In late July the Dean of Students Office began forming a search com mittee to fill the vacant position.
