The first-year award is for $1.3 million, and the grant will total about .$8.4 million over the five-year pe riod. The extra funding will allow the 'center to expand its clinical research and cancer outreach programs and develop new core facilities, such as a'DNA tumor bank, said Dr. Joseph Pagano, director of the center. The grant was extended after a two-day site visit earlier this year to Ithe Linberger center by cancer ex "perts from across the United States iwho reviewed the center programs 'and facilities. The team gave the center a score equalling those earned by the top-ranking cancer centers in the nation. The center is organized into eight research programs.

Teacher of the Year. Chancellor Paul Hardin will moderate. UNC to take part in state forum By STACEY KAPLAN Staff Writer The 24 members of the Bicentennial Capital Campaign Steering Committee were announced by Chancellor Paul Hardin at Tuesday's meeting of the Board of Trustees. The steering committee consists of national and state leaders in business, education, philanthropy and athletics who will help raise money for the Bi centennial Capital Campaign, an effort which will continue until 1995. Richard Jenrette, chairman of the Equitable Life Assurance Society in New York, is a member of the steering panel 's executive committee. In a phone interview Thursday, he said that any events the committee could arrange to reacquaint people with the University would benefit bicentennial efforts. "We'll be trying to convince people to make major gifts by talking to them individually and finding out what is important for them," he said. "Each person has a different button to push." Another member of the committee, Frank Daniels Jr., president and pub lisher of the News and Observer Pub lishing Co., said raising money would require a tremendous amount of work. "The goal is to identify opportuni ties for people to give money to im prove the University," he said. Thomas Lambeth, executive direc tor of the Z. Smith Reynolds Founda tion, considered the celebration itself more important than the money raised, (Davis) Friday, Dec. 8 8 a.m.-midnight Saturday, Dec. 9 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10 noon-midnight Monday, Dec. 11-Friday, Dec. 15 8 a.m.-midnight Saturday, Dec. 16 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17 noon-midnight Monday, Dec. 18 8 a.m.-midnight Tuesday, Dec. 19 .....8 a.m.-midnight Wednesday, Dec. 20 ....8 a.m.-5 p.m. (Undergraduate) Monday, Dec. 1 1 -Sunday, Dec. 17 ....opens at 8 a.m. Dec. 1 1 and remains open 24 hrs daily until 2 a.m. Dec. 17 Sunday, Dec. 17 reopens 10 a.m.-2 a.m. Monday, Dec. 18 7 a.m.-2 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 19. .....7 a.m.-2 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 20 7 a.m.-5 p.m. to expand hoyrs dbriinig exams Dining Services, said Union Station would extend its hours until midnight Monday through Thursday during exam week. Last year the idea worked fairly well with students who were studying late and wanted to get a snack, Derby said. Along with exams come anxiety and late nights staying up with the books. "I'm worried about them (exams), but it'll just be a relief when the whole week is over," said Lorrie Harris, a freshman biology major from Hender sonville. Mike Holcomb, a senior business major from Advance, said he only had three exams and that they were spread Each panelist is a public advocate for both education and democracy, said Steve Tepper, assistant general secre tary for bicentennial observance. The panel discussion will deal with questions concerning education, Tep per said. "They'll be addressing the questions 'How are we dealing with educating our citizens?' and 'Is there a civic education?'" Specific questions will be asked of each panelist. The panelists will also answer questions collected from the audience. "We are then hoping that the panelists can ask each other questions," Tepper said. "It's not a debate, it's just a discus sion," he said. "It's just a sit-back, let's talk situation." The Bicentennial Issues Forum is appropriate, said panel member Wil liam Friday. "People need to stop, think and talk about significant things in life, especially with education. It's a terri bly important thing to do." Panelist Tom Wicker agreed. "The anniversary needs to be observed in some kind of fashion, and panel discus sions usually are worthwhile." Friday also complimented the group of panelists. "It's a very fine group very freewheeling," he said. "This (panel discussion) is kind of a preview to the bicentennial festivities," Tepper said. "It's too important of a date to overlook." but he said it was a good opportunity to increase the private financial support of the University. "Not only is the University 200 years old, but it is the bicentennial of higher public education in the New World." Sherwood Smith Jr., also on the executive committee, said the bicen tennial campaign was important be cause it would help the University continue to expand in the future. Smith is the chairman and president of Caro lina Power and Light Co. in Raleigh. "The bicentennial celebration should involve campus activities which dis play the curriculum and achievements of the University, and illustrate the outreach of the University program throughout the state and the region." Senior vice president of Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. in New York, Kenneth Mountcastle Jr., is another member of the committee who is concerned with seeing that the University gets the money needed to pay for the celebra tion. He said it was important for a leadership group in the University to organize the Bicentennial Campaign and help to raise money. William Friday, who served as UNC system president for 30 years and is president of the William R. Kenan Jr. Fund, said he thought the efforts of the committee would be very appropriate and necessary. "It will show the state what a won derful facility and enterprise we have here." out. "This is probably the best exam time I've ever had. I just wish the basketball team didn't have games over exams. That's what hurts." M.B. Liptzin, director of Student Psychological Services, said the amount of stress a student felt at exam time and the effect it had on a student's perform ance depended mainly on a student's self-esteem. If students enter an exam with confi dence and an understanding of the material they are to be tested on, they will do well.

Campus computer labs suffer onslaught at semester's end By JUAN OSUNA Special to the DTH Campus computer labs are numer ous, but users have had to wait up to an hour at some of the busier labs, espe cially now that many term papers are due. "Usage is growing by leaps and bounds," said Linwood Futrelle, man ager of lab operations for the Micro computing Support Center (MSC). This is especially the case at the end of the semester. The University's computer facilities are adequate for most of the year, but not for peak periods such as mid-November through the end of the semes ter, Futrelle said. Lab attendants reported waiting lists with as many as 15 to 20 people on them, especially in the Venable com puter lab, the largest and most used lab on campus with 35 IBM PCs and 24 Macintosh computers. "People can wait from 45 minutes up to an hour," said Ed Chessman, a lab attendant in Venable. According to MSC officials, more people are using Macintosh computers. Lab attendants said it was common to see three or four people waiting for a Macintosh at times when there were plenty of IBMs available. In labs operated by the Microcom puting Support Center, there is a two hour time limit on computer use when others are waiting. If someone is bumped off after two hours, he or she is allowed to sign on the waiting list again after a 30-minute period. Unfortunately for those who pro crastinate, the two-hour limit is not do not allow themselves enough time to prepare adequately, Liptzin said. "Some students see exams as a hurdle or a chore and are afraid of being ex posed as incompetent, which adds to the burden one experiences. "Exams don't have to be stressful to the point that they (students) are dys functional. Some people perform bet ter under stress when their adrenaline is flowing or when they have butterflies in their stomachs. "Most people do well with the proc ess of taking exams. Those with a posi tive attitude take the process in stride and benefit from it. For those with a enough to complete their work. "A lot of people think that their lack of plan ning constitutes an emergency on our part," Futrelle said. It is sometimes difficult for lab at tendants to enforce strictly the two hour usage limit and the 30-minute limit before signing the waiting list again. But Futrelle said, "We rely on people's honesty and honor. We are not in the police business." However, Mike Holcomb, a lab at tendant in the Undergraduate Library, said, "Whenever there is a waiting list, it is enforced." Many users are understanding of the policy. "I try to limit myself. After two hours have gone by, I need a break anyway," said Andreas Heering, a graduate stu dent writing his thesis. Delta house both the alumni and the brothers living in the house." Donald Boulton, vice chancellor and dean of student affairs, said the Univer sity would also have to approve the plans for the new house. "Sure we have a say in the planning. If they (the Delta Sigma Phis) default, we have to pick up the mortgage. The house also has to pass town zoning laws." The new house will have room for 40 to 45 members, Cooper said. Although no final plans have been adopted, the house will probably be colonial-style, Turtle said. "The house will have columns out front. But the new house will be more up-to-date, and made of stronger materials. It will be negative mindset, it is a good idea to talk to someone about it." It may seem that with all the stress associated with exams, students may have a greater tendency to become ill. "It's my impression that we proba bly see fewer people (during exams) but that the people we see are more acutely ill than we see at other times during the year," said Judith Cowan director of Student Health Service. "Things students come in with dont differ much from the rest of the year,' but some infections students get are related with staying up too late and not getting enough sleep." Anne Parker, director of MSC, said the greatest constraint in providing adequate facilities was not the availa bility of hardware. "Space and staff resources are our biggest constraints." For example, there are only two full time managers, Futrelle and his assis tant Steve Fearrington, in charge of 90 part-time attendants working in 1 1 labs more than 1,300 hours per week. According to Parker, the cost of campus computer labs does not come only from MSC but is often shared with other departments. About half of the cost of labs run by MSC come from other departments which may own equipment or building space, or may pay for staffing, Parker said. A computer lab in Craige with 12 IBMs and 12 Macintosh computers opened Nov. 15. from page 1 fraternity proof." Estimates of the cost to build the new house are between $200,000 and $400,000, Tuttle said. Tuttle said he regretted he would not be able to live in the new house because he would graduate in May. "I would like to live in it. But it gives me just as much satisfaction to ensure that the guys who come after me will have a great house." Cooper said although he wouldn't be able to live in the house either, he wanted to make sure the house turned out well. "I won't be here when the house is finished, but we (the seniors) are trying to guide the planning on our way out." n
