Ehr Balli) (Ear Hrrl MED SCHOOL FROM PAGE 1 review for about a year, but facilities have been nearing capacity for sev eral years, officials said. “We are jammed full all the time,' Roper said. “We need to expand.' The new bed tower would ulti mately add about 300 new beds to the existing 700. The other build ings would alleviate the crunched research and classroom space. Anna Wu, director of facilities planning, said construction is sev eral years away. But the enrollment expansion should begin fall 2009. The goal is to expand the fresh man class by 44 percent from BLACK VOTE FROM PAGE 1 Tim McMillan, a UNC profes sor of African and Afro-American studies, said Clinton s formidable support from the black community has eroded somewhat as Obama's campaign has gained legitimacy. “Now that Obama seems like a strong, viable candidate. African Americans are looking at Hillary for herself and not in combination with her husband." he said. “The Bill Clinton effect is starting to fade." McMillan said Obama's popu larity among blacks is at least par tially emblematic. "Obama symbol izes the opportunities that black Americans can have," he said. Obama also successfully taps into the support of the black churches, collectively one of the most influ ential institutions in the black com munity, Donaldson said. “This kind of politics of hope really means something in their lives," he said. “That's why I think Obama in some ways makes the campaign sound like a moral and religious cause." Zeal is just as important as the policies themselves, he added. “(Voters) want to hear from people and figure out who is the most pas sionate and committed." However, Donaldson said Clinton has her own supporters in the black religious community. Education, healthcare and employment are the chief concerns among black South Carolinians, and the Democratic candidates’ platforms arc not dramatically dif ferent on those issues, he said. He added that national security concerns, paramount to the general population, are noticeably muted among black South Carolinians. “It’s virtually splitting hairs to distinguish between them on Issues that matter to African Americans." Brundage said.

Those students will be part of anew partnership between UNC and medical centers in Asheville and Charlotte. The idea is to train students in North Carolina so they will stay to do their residencies in the state, in turn supporting the state's need for more doctors and nurses. "There are states that are shrink ing,” said Etta Pisano, vice dean for academic affairs at the medical school. “We’re not one of them.’ Assistant University Editor Danielle Kucera contributed reporting.

When her condition worsened last year, she moved to Chapel Hill to be closer to the hospital, leaving her family in Wilmington. In 2007 alone, English was hos pitalized three times. She takes mul tiple daily medications and keeps an inhaler on hand. She also has to have someone "clap” her back to clear her lungs several times a day. But she never complains. Her father Weston Clemmons said he’s constantly amazed at English's maturity and love for life. “When the doctors have given us bad news, it's usually the parents'job to put a good spin on it but English is often calming her mom down," he said. “It would be very easy for her to feel sony for hetself, but 1 have never seen her dwell on the Why me?" English is a senior at Carolina Friends School in Durham and plans to attend Meredith College next year. She said cystic fibrosis has given her a different oudook on life. “I don't have any time to waste," English said. “I want to enjoy every moment because I don’t want to have anything to regret." She said she sees how much she can influence her brother's attitude. "If I won’t do something, neither does he," English said. “If I have a treatment that causes a lot of bad side effects, he doesn't want to do it I watch how 1 act and respond to doctors around him. I just try to set a really good example." Contact the Features Editor atfeatures@ unc.edu.

Business leaders from the Chamber of Commerce, including President and CEO Aaron Nelson, spoke in favor of the center. “1 am excited about the possibili ties,’he said. Some of the University’s lead ing research experts also came before the council to emphasize the Innovation Center’s importance to UNC. Heads of the Lineberger Cancer Center and the School of Pharmacy, spoke in favor of the Innovation Center. “It turns out that applied sci ence is really what will affect peo ple,” said Shelton Earp, director of the cancer center. “If we want to become the best, we need the Innovation Center." Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edtL Trustees take a closer look at the Innovation Center When the Board of Trustees reviewed preliminary designs Wednesday for the first build ing of Carolina North, members suggested the need for a defined design plan for the entire project. Some aspects of the preliminary design: ► Brick exterior ► Glass entrance . ► Location 100 feet from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard ► Three stories tall ► Atrium and courtyard Commentary: Trustee John Ellison summed up the board's view in a question he posed to other trustees: “Is it dramatic enough?' Because the center is sup posed to be the front door to the new campus, trustees said they want something 'iconic.' Trustees concluded that an overall design scheme for Carolina North would make consideration of the center easier. 'I think the message from the board is dear It's time to define design guidelines for Carolina North," said Roger Perry, chair man of the board.

The dawn of the You Tube age and the spiking popularity of mass media, Edwards said, weren’t taken into account when the last contract was drawn up. It’s a situation simi lar to years past, when the popular ity of DVDs was beginning to rise. “Back then the producers were saying, ’We don’t know what this will be like because DVDs are a brand new thing, and we don’t want to squash that industry in its infancy," Edwards said. Thus, the deal, which was struck after DVDs debuted in 1996, gave writers 4 cents for every unit sold. “That's a joke," Edwards said. “Writers were determined not to take a deal like that again." Wallace voiced similar concerns. “The networks contend that it’s too early to say what kind of profits will be made when it’s dear that big profits will definitely be made." The DVD industry has, in fact, been wildly successful, bringing in sl6 billion in sales and $7-5 billion in rentals in 2007-The WGA is seeking a 2.5 percent share of those profits.

The other side of the script As members of the coveted 18- to-35 demographic, UNC students are chief among those affected. Will Walter, a senior psychology major and fan of NBC’s “Heroes,’ said he first heard rumors of a strike last summer. Walter said dedicated viewers have a right to be upset with the situation, specifically citing the advent of many new reality shows. “We have our culture to defend," he said. “Reality TV is a plague upon the human race, if there ever was one." Walter’s sentiments are indicative of a generation that at the very least is attempting to interpret the causes and consequences of the strike. “The strike is asking for money that doesn’t exist, and it’s (interfer ing) with our media,’ Walter said. But Edwards and Wallace were quick to point out that when it comes to money, the status of writers is sub ject to colossal misconceptions. “Producers are making writers out to be rich Hollywood elite,' Edwards said. “But writers tend to be middle-class people." Edwards pointed out the hypocrisy he said is rampant when it comes to talking about writers.

Seeking a resolution The strike still hasn't reached the length of a similar one in 1988, which lasted 22 weeks. And last week, directors came to terms with studios, putting pressure on the WGA to end the walkout, which Walter said could push viewers in one of two directions. “It could break television com pletely and let people move more to the Internet and mass media." he said. "But I think ratings will prob ably spike back up once the shows people are watching return." Wallace said the latter is more likely. “Frankly, the garbage is starting to pile up on television. There’s a lot of alternative content that a person can move to when the supply in a different arena dries up.” But in the end, Wallace said he, like virtually everyone else, is anticipating a resolution. “I’m cautiously optimistic,’ he said. “1 think it’s safe to say there will be a big bump in viewership when the writers return.’ Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.
