Chamber music soloists to perform on campus By STEPHANIE DEAN Staff Writer Tonight the North Carolina Chamber Soloists, a unique group of musicians, will present the second in a series of three concerts. The group consists of Jane Hamborsky on clarinet, Jane Hawkins on piano, Margaret Middleton on viola, Fred Raimi on cello and Rebecca Troxler on flute. Soprano Penelope Jensen is also a member, but will not be performing in this concert. The six musicians were friends in New York before settling in Durham and Chapel Hill at dif ferent times and for different reasons. "The music business is a very small profession so you know everyone, said Hamborsky. Hamborsky also said that the friendship among group members and ease with one another are evident in their performances. According to Hamborsky, chamber music was originally performed at parties and social events and somehow eventually made its way to the stage where Campus Calendar Thursday 3:30 p.m. Students with Alcoholic Parents will meet in the Mental Health Section of Student Health Ser vice to address concerns about growing up in an alcoholic family. 4 p.m. Campus Women's Net- wc:k will plan a week of women's awareness and discuss the upcom ing "Take Back the Night" march in Union 218.

Linda Jones, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina Works plant in Winston-Salem, said AT&T officials announced last Thursday that they plan to shut down the plant the fourth largest employer in the city over the course of the next two to five years. Jones said that the first wave of layoffs will come within the next 90 days. The plant closing will eliminate the jobs of 2,400 workers and 800 management personnel. This amounts to a loss of $137 million in annual salaries, she said. "Everyone here is in shock," Jones said. "Morale is not good." Jones said the announcement that the plant will close was a surprise to everyone at the Winston-Salem facility, including those in manage ment, who thought the plant had a bright future ahead. "We had a celebration the week before the announcement," she said. Jones said one reason for the closing is that AT&T has been scaling down its operations across the board. She also blamed the fact that tele phone components have become smaller and easier to produce. AT&T is not the first major business to pull out of Winston Salem. In 1987, RJR Nabisco moved its home office from the city to a new location in Atlanta. Last year also saw USAir of Virginia acquire Pied mont Aviation, which was based in Winston-Salem. Gov. James Martin was quick to reassure the people of Winston-Salem that they should not interpret AT&T's decision as a bad omen for their city. "You know in a competitive busi ness world, all jobs are at risk," he said. "Yet as we lose some, we must add more. North Carolina has lost some jobs every year, but weVe added more than we've lost by far. "We can continue to come out ahead as long as we work to keep North Carolina's business climate healthy and attractive," he said. Martin pledged that state resources will be available to help Winston Salem's economy with new jobs. mm Buy any foot long sub or large salad & get another of equal or less value free.

"Over the last three years, (North Carolina) has had a net gain of 300,000 jobs. There is also an average of $5 billion in new investments every year," he said. Community leaders in Winston- Salem are trying to keep faith in their city's economy. Thomas Hearn, president of Wake Forest University, said that Winston- Salem is still a "very strong and vital community." "We have a low unemployment rate," he said. "This really isn't anything which causes us to lose faith." . Hearn said that the expansion of Wake Forest's medical school will create 2,000 jobs in the near future. "There are lots of positives," Hearn said."This is not the stuff that doom is made of." Mike Lueer, a visiting assistant professor of city and regional plan- ning at UNC, agreed that those who predict coming economic doom for Winston-Salem are overreacting. w 1 think people are reading more into this than there is " he said. "This is just fallout from the kind of restructuring that goes on in any economy. "AT&T has gone through a lot of adjustments, he said. "We have to take each incident on its own merits Luger did say that he was speaking from a broad economic viewpoint. He said that the closing of the N.C. Works plant is not a tragedy for Winston-Salem, but it may well be catastrophic for the individuals who will lose their jobs. Some people claim that the N.C. Works closing is the biggest layoff in the state's history, but officials with the North Carolina Employment TV Basketball Tonight at 9:001 (Must be 18 or older Dancing Fun will begin after the game) 75C Draft Beer M.25 "CAROLINA KAMIKAZIS o .

Security Commission (ESC) say this probably is not the case. Spokesman Gregory Sampson said that the ESC does not have very good information on past layoffs, and that most of the information that the commission does have is based on old newspaper clippings. Sampson said that since AT&T plans to let employees go gradually over a period of several years, the ESC does not consider the N.C. Works closing as a single layoff, Sampson blamed some of Winston-Salem's recent trials on the fact that the city has a large manu- facturing sector. "Manufacturing just isn't grow ing," he said. Sampson said that he thinks Win ston Salem still has a sound economic base. He said that AT&T's decision is "more of a symbolic problem" for SATURDAY: Super T7 Sunday, Jan. 31 at 4:00 Bowl J $1.25 "Super Size" Beers Bash o 75C Pizza by the slice ST. at KROGER PLAZA o0 OQoq Tar Heel Thursday, January 28, 19885 More than 1,000 jobs were the city. Rep. Steve Neal, a Democrat from the 5th District, which includes Winston-Salem, called AT&T's deci sion a "tragedy" for those who will kse their jobs. Neal said that James Olson, chair man and Chief Executive Officer of AT&T, promised him that AT&T will close the N.C. Works plant "gradu ally and humanely," providing employees with severance and retire ment pay, relocation assistance, and job placement services. "My concern now is to help these employees as much as possible," Neal said. Neal plans to work with federal, state and union officials, as well as AT&T management, to aid those who will lose their jobs. He also hopes to obtain additional relief funds under the Job Training Partnership Act.
