UNC Cancer Center dedicated
New dorm to open fall '85
By MARY RIDGILL
Tar Heel Staff Writer
The six-story residence hall under
construction behind Fetzer Gymna
sium is planned to open Aug. 1,
1985 and will house about 500
students, Collin E. Rustin, associate
director of Housing for Contracts
and Assignments, said Tuesday.
The additional rooms provided
by the new dormitory should cut the
dorm lottery waiting list in half, but
the demand for on-campus housing
may increase during the first couple
of years that the new dorm will be
open, Rustin said.
The new dormitory will be the
first completely air-conditioned
housing facility on the campus.
"We haven't decided if the dorm
will be co-ed," Rustin said. "We're
looking at our needs. We'd like to
make it co-ed so that males and
females will have the opportunity to
live there."
The building is equipped with
ramps and elevators to accom
modate mobility impaired students,
and those facilities may be the con
trolling factors in deciding whether

the dormitory will be co-ed or
single-sex, Rustin said.
The suites are composed of four
double rooms that share a bath
room, said Rogers, the architect
who designed the facility.
Each wing of the dorm will have
a carpeted living room, a kitchen
and a dining area on each floor,
Rogers said.
"We worked with a student com
mittee in designing the rooms,"
Rogers said. The rooms will have
movable furniture and will be left
uncarpeted so that students can use
their own carpet, he added.
The ground floor of the building
will have facilities for music practice
rooms, a laundry room, and a mail
room as well as a multi-purpose
room for parties and movies,
Rogers said.
"All revenue needed for the
Housing Department must be gen
erated through rent," Rustin said.
"We can't use taxes or money
allocated by the state."
He said rent for rooms in the new
residence hall will be the most ex
pensive on campus.

On the third floor of the University's
new cancer research building Dr. Mi
chael Topal is studying how cancer
causing chemicals attack DNA, the car
rier of genetic material in humans.
Topal is modifying the building blocks
of DNA with a chemical that causes
tumors and then looking at how the
DNA replicates. From this information
he hopes to develop a model system of
chemical-caused tumor formation.
Down the hall, Dr. Ryszard Cole is
trying to find out how enzymes in the
body splice strands of RNA, a molecule
involved in expressing genetic informa
tion, after removing nonsense segments
from the RNA strand. Knowing the
mechanism of this could lead to being
able to inhibit RNA splicing in specific
genes, Cole said. Splicing is related to
cancer and blood disorders.
Topal and Cole are two of the 13 re
searchers working in the Lineberger
Cancer Research Center which opened
in January. The three story, 36,000
square foot facility was dedicated May
23.
"The important thing (about the
Center) is that it brings together a lot of
people interested in biomedical re
search," Topal said. It is easier to talk
to colleagues when thev are in the same
Cole echoed that thought. "The
facility brings together a whole group
of molecular biologists and even though
they study different problems, they ap-
ply the same techniques," he said.
"The fields are related enough that we
understand each other but they are dif-

The Center brings together faculty
members from seven medical school
departments and eight Division of
Health Affairs departments.

Building cost $9.4 million and was paid
for with a $1.6 million grant from the
National Institutes of Health, $4 mil

the University. .
The building is named for the Line

The Center's 80 core faculty mem
bers conduct research in eight program
areas: chemical carcinogens, drug de
velopment, tumor virology, cancer cell
biology, cancer epidemiology, cancer
control and clinical research. More than
100 other faculty in the University and
in Research Triangle Park are affiliated
with the center.
Chancellor Christopher C. Fordham
III started the Center in 1975 when he
was chairman of the School of Medi
cine. Dr. Joseph S. Pagano, has been
director of the Center since its begin
ning. For the record
The article in the May 24 Tar Heel
("Garrow takes N.Y. assistant-professorship")
should have reported that Dr.
Garrow's position at City College of
New York will be an associate profes
sorship. The Tar Heel regrets the error.
