Career Services Director Marcia Harris said now is the time to act for seniors who do not have post graduation plans. “I recommend that seniors not wait until a month before or a month after graduation,' she said. ‘lt's a bad signal to potential employers to procrastinate until then, and most companies are filling their entry-level positions now."

Al-Qaida commander wanted by U.S. is reported dead in Pakistan CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Abu Laith al-Libi, a top al-Qaida commander in Afghanistan who was blamed for bombing a base while Vice President Cheney was visiting last year, has been killed in Pakistan, according to a militant Web site. Al-Libi was a key link between the Taliban and al-Qaida and was one of the Americans’ 12 most-wanted men with a bounty of $200,000 on his head. Before the Web site postings, there had been reports of an attack on militants in a Pakistani village. Pakistani intelligence Domestic spying law' up for debate LAS VEGAS (AP) - President Bush said Thursday that lawmak ers are jeopardizing the nation’s safety by failing to lock in a gov ernment eavesdropping law.

Nearby Duke University Medical Center ranked No. 9 • But both of those treatment centers provide care primarily to Orange, Durham and the surrounding counties. With a grant from the state, the cancer hospital will become the hub, with other local care areas connecting to it like spokes on a wheel, said Curt Crowhurst, the Asheville area manager for the American Cancer Society. “That is the critical piece it really is the state saying that we want to make sure that people who live in Murphy, N.C., have the same access to care that someone in Orange County would have," he said. The N.C. General Assembly approved SIBO million for the proj ect, and the current estimated cost of the hospital is $207 million. “It’s an incredibly farsighted investment on the side of the state to put together something like this, which is not all that com monly done in the United States," Goldberg said. Nationally North Carolina has a slightly higher average of can cer incidents and cancer deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. According to statistics from ACS, there are about 200 cancer deaths for every 100,000 people in North Carolina. This number is slightly higher than the national average of 193 deaths, though some N.C. counties have as many as 260 deaths. That results in more than 16,000 cancer-related deaths per year in the state. Crowhurst said the new hospital and UNC's research funding will be integral in connecting to western Carolina “We really were impressed with the idea of taking those dol lars in research and cutting-edge therapies and being able to put them into and disseminate them throughout the state." Crowhurst said. In western Carolina, there is a higher incident and mortality rate from cancer than the rest of the state. Crowhurst cited the Appalachian area as one of the most uninsured and underserved areas. “For us in western North Carolina, anything that we can do to connect, patient-survivor caregivers to ‘state of the art' and ‘best of all ways’ enhances our ability to, one, treat cancer and. two, improve the quality of life that we all desire out of a chronic disease," he said.

If you’ve ever been there, it’s a long wait," said Steve Bryant, construction manager. Other floors will also be con nected to the existing building. Adjoining the front of all the hos pitals is a two-story lobby area, mak ing one long entrance corridor. The cancer hospital will connect to this passageway, allowing surgeons to move quickly from operating rooms in the main hospitals to new clinics, said Dr. Richard Goldberg, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center associate director and physi cian-in-chief of the cancer hospital. The building Is crescent-shaped with hematology oncologists in one wing, surgical oncologists in another and a multidisciplinary clinic in the middle. “(It gives us) the ability to get mul tiple physicians together thinking about one individual patient's prob lems at the same time so that we can plan how to best use the three tods at our disposal: surgery , chemotherapy and radiation," Goldberg said. A welcoming environment While developing the designs for the hospital, the project architect Fred Marcial surveyed doctors and nurses about patients’ needs. “We're interested in having form follow function," Goldberg said. Several features were added to create a less hospital-like feel. “It will be a much more pleas ant place to be if you have to spend time being a cancer patient," Goldberg said. “When people are getting chemotherapy treatments, they often will be in the hospital for the whole day." In the lobby, lights are concealed behind metal rims in circular pat terns, forming “clouds" and giving a glowing ceiling effect said Marcial. of Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Architects LLP, the firm for the project Designers also wanted to have treatment rooms by windows to allow patients access to daylight, thus every patient room has an exterior window, Marcial said. There are 50 such inpatient rooms. An interior courtyard was added to the initial design to increase the number of exterior windows. “It is to try and make it less clini cal," Marcial said. Patients also have the options of scheduling rooms with friends or having a secluded section. “It can be social or verv private," Marcial Mid. Further construction The Physicians Office Building is another component of the proj ect. The five-story POB will be across from the cancer hospital and should be complete in late June. “It is for support staff for both the hospital and cancer research," Bryant said. A bridge connecting the Dogwood Parking Deck with the POB and the cancer hospital is set to span Manning Drive in March. There, the bridge will join the covered porch that continues on to the rest of the hospitals, effectively linking the deck to the existing buildings. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

What followed was UNC’s most dominant stretch ofbasketball since the N.C. State game, their lead of five points swelled to 26. ‘After that point, our defense was really good," Williams said. There was an eight- or nine-min ute stretch where we were really pretty good defensively." BC never got closer than 18 points in the second half though Eagle point guard TVrese Rice tried to will his team back in the game with 12 second-half points. The Tar Heels who didn’t catch fire in the first half Thompson and Ginvard were UNC’s surprise lead ing scorers at halftime warmed up after the break. All five starters finished with at least 10 points. Then came one for the highlights. Lawson stripped Rice in the lane and swatted the ball while falling down to an wide-eyed Hansbrough sprint ing dowm the court. Hansbrough gathered himself before jamming home a 360 dunk. Against a BC team that is full of underclassmen, UNC returned to the form it had lacked Jan. 19 in a home loss to Maryland. “It feels a heck of a lot better than our last game here," Williams said.

In the first half alone, the Tar Heels came away with eight steals, compared to BC’s five. UNC also did not seem to have a problem hit ting the hardwood for loose balls, which in tum led to 16 points off of 11 Eagle turnovers. “1 think we played way better," said sophomore TV Lawson, who finished the game with three steals. “We were getting in lanes, deny ing balls, getting steals, rotating good" But there was one point during the game when Williams saw his team falter. It was with 9:46 left to play in the first half that he decided to enlist a fresh five after the Hu Heels allowed Boston College to score two widely uncontested baskets. It’s a message that he has sent to his players before get the job done on the defensive end, or enjoy warming a seat on the bench. “You know you definitely messed up the worst you could probably mess up for everyone to come out at the same timesaid junior Marcus Ginyard, who also had three steals. “Most of the time when it’s like that, it’s the effort that you didn’t give." Effort is not usually something UNC has trouble with, but a few days of rest appeared to do wonders for North Carolina’s shooting struggles The team finished the game shoot ing 51.5 percent from the field after shooting 60 percent in the first half the best UNC has shot in a half against an ACC team all year. This led to another first for the Tar Heels this season all five starters scored in double figures, led by 18 from Tyler Hansb rough and 17 from Deon Thompson, who has had some shooting woes of his own. “That’s something we’ve been needing out of Deon for a little while now, just playing dose to his poten tial," Ginyard said. But confidence is not something UNC looked like it had to get back it seemed to have plenty of it en route to a 22-point victory. “There’s a lot of things to be happy about," Williams said. “We really played pretty doggone well."
