A sophomore who lives in Teague Residence Hall has been arrested in connection with peeping incidents on two floors of the dorm. Gregory Roach, 20, of Raleigh, was arrested Friday and charged with misdemeanor counts of “secret peeping.” A woman living on the third floor of Teague was taking a shower about 2 a.m. Friday when she heard the bathroom door open. Her roommate came out of their room and saw a man standing in the doorway of the bathroom, adjacent to the shower curtain. When the man saw the roommate, he left the suite. The roommate said she recognized the man as Roach and gave his name to police. Roach was later charged with peeping incidents occurring in September and January. The Department of Public Safety is continuing its investigation. Roach did not return phone calls requesting comment. The latest peeping incident follows the same pattern as the first one reported Sept. 25. A female second-floor Teague resident said she was taking a shower late at night in her suite and left the bathroom door unlocked. She heard the door open and saw a shadow cross the shower

CAMP LEJEUNE — President Barack Obama’s plan for the removal of troops from Iraq prompted a resounding echo of “ooh-rah” from nearly 2,000 Marines on Friday. Among those Marines were some of the 8,000 Marines preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, which is part of the president’s plan to shift U.S. focus to alQaidain Afghanistan. Combat brigades will be removed from Iraq by Aug. 31, 2010, but a transitional force will remain to help train, equip and advise Iraqi forces as control shifts to Iraqi leaders. Obama said Friday that he

intends to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by the end of 2011. About 6,200 soldiers from Fort Bragg and 10,000 Marines from Camp Lejeune are now deployed. “There’s a great need for transferring manpower to Afghanistan,” said Joseph Glatthaar, UNC chairman of peace, war and defense. T h e Ta l i b a n d o m i n a t e d Afghanistan’s government when U.S. forces initially invaded, but Glatthaar said U.S. troops quickly transferred to Iraq where they were subsequently bogged down. “We never took care of the situation in Afghanistan,” he said. “Since we committed such large forces in Iraq, the gains we made (in Afghanistan) began to deteriorate.” Glatthaar said missions in

Afghanistan will involve a higher risk than those performed in Iraq. “Opposition will be stronger,” he said. “We’re likely to see casualties mounting.” UNC history professor Wayne Lee said the challenge facing troops in Afghanistan is how to spread military forces effectively throughout the country. “Nominally superior military forces don’t always translate into a place with such little infrastructure,” he said. Though violence has decreased in Iraq and al-Qaida has taken a blow, the fight is not over, Obama said. “Violence will continue to be a part of life in Iraq,” he said. “Too many fundamental political questions about Iraq’s future remain

Consultants unveil plan for cutting up to $133M By Andrew Dunn University Editor

Bain and Company, the consulting firm hired by the University to help with cost-cutting, has announced its specific game plan. Administrators anticipate cuts of 7 percent or more from the state legislature and continuing declines in UNC’s investment returns because of the down economy. Those mean the University would have to cut about 7 percent of its $1.9 billion total operating expenses — about $133 million. Bain and Company will be identifying new ways — both short- and long-term — to cut costs while maintaining academic quality and preserving research. The most significant focus will be on salaries, which make up about 60 percent of operating expenses. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. DTH ONLINE: Read the report from Bain and Company detailing cost-cutting plans.

Phase 1: Build baseline Gather information on the University’s organization, operations, economic structure and budget processes. Conduct meaningful, private discussions with stakeholders. Create a spreadsheet detailing all expenses by department. Compile statistics on employeeto-staff ratios and cost-per-unit for items purchased. 4 to 5 weeks

Phase 3: Design potential options

Phase 2: Identify opportunities Analyze data compiled in phase 1. Identify the largest cost areas.

Create internal benchmarks for success and performance. Identify which cost areas are most important to the University and why they are so costly. Compare the University’s performance to that of peer institutions. 5 to 7 weeks

Phase 4: Vet options

Refine list of high-priority opportunities.

Solicit feedback from stakeholders on each of the options.

Outline benefits, costs and risks of each option.

Review all the pros, cons and likely barriers to success on each option.

Administrators will make sure options fit within the laws and rules that govern the University. 7 to 9 weeks

Construct a dialogue to ensure transparency. 3 to 4 weeks

the attorneys in both cases must coordinate court appearances. After appearing in federal court, a defendant can decide whether to return to state custody, said Lynne Klauer, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s office handling the case. Atwater’s attorneys have not made that request. He pleaded not guilty to a federal kidnapping charge last week and his attorneys have kept him in federal custody in Greensboro. Atwater’s federal defense attorney, Gregory Davis, would not comment on the case.

On March 5, Atwater and Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 18, took Carson from her home and drove her to withdraw money before shooting her in a neighborhood off East Franklin Street, prosecutors say. Among Atwater’s charges are three federal crimes punishable with the death penalty. And authorities announced in January that they plan to seek capital punishment, making Atwater the first in the middle district of North Carolina

The Daily Tar Heel Campus Briefs

Supreme Court decides case between Raynor and Nichols The Student Supreme Court released its decision in a case alleging that Student Body President J.J. Raynor biased the Feb. 17 Child Care Services Fee increase referendum. Justice Stephanie Kelly, for the majority, wrote that the Court found that there was not sufficient evidence that Raynor’s actions unfairly influenced the voting population. The Court did not evaluate the legality of Raynor’s specific actions in the interest of interpreting the Code only when necessary. She wrote that there was no evidence presented by Congress Speaker Tim Nichols — who brought the suit — that anybody was influenced by the e-mail or document that Raynor sent to students, thereby invalidating Nichols’ claim. A dissenting opinion has not been released yet, but justices plan on writing one. Since the Board of Elections found that other actions in addition to Raynor’s might have compromised the election, they invalidated the Feb. 17 results and called for another election Tuesday. The Court’s opinion does not invalidate this decision.

Events honor freedom riders Few attend budget talks Part of dedication of highway marker

By Whitney Baker Staff Writer

The audience in the Northside Gymnasium on Saturday was split into two sections, marked by signs declaring “Whites Only” and “Coloreds Only.” The segregated audience was part of the set for a re-enactment Saturday of the 1947 freedom ride through North Carolina and other parts of the upper South. “Our purpose was to change the world,” said George Houser, 92, who organized the freedom ride and spoke Saturday. “Well, you can’t do that very easily. You do it a step at a time.” Freedom riders were arrested and beaten up in Chapel Hill when they tried to integrate an interstate bus in April 1947.

Saturday, those riders were honored as part of a ceremony to unveil a new state highway marker on the corner of North Columbia and Rosemary streets. The purpose was to inform the community of their history and what had happened more than 60 years earlier, organizer Yonni Chapman said. Every speaker in the gymnasium emphasized individual responsibility and the continued need for awareness. In the reenactment, local activists and artists portrayed freedom riders from 1947. Organizers engaged the audience by having most of the action take place among unwitting audience mem-

Dinner raises $5,000 for Latino initiative BY PRESTON SPENCER STAFF WRITER

The Scholars’ Latino Initiative packed the FedEx Global Education Center for a benefit dinner Friday that felt more like a celebration than a fundraising event. At least $5,000 was raised at the dinner. The money will help support the initiative’s activities — dedicated to providing educational opportunities for Latino high school students. The promise of a bright future and opportunity for the organization filled the air, which was recently integrated into the Center for Global Initiatives, making it certain to be a staple program of UNC service for the years ahead. The dinner was supposed to start at 6 p.m., but the main course wasn’t brought out until nearly 8 p.m. because attendants couldn’t stop talking. Guests paid $40 per person, $75 per

A sparsely attended Student Congress approved a draft of next year’s $353,917 budget this weekend, which will fund student clubs and organizations pending approval Tuesday. Only about seven of the 34 Congress members were present at any point during the meetings — which lasted all day Saturday and Sunday. Finance committee chairman Michael Morrill was the only member present throughout the proceedings, although several other members were present the majority of the time. The result was a less-than-lively debate and few alterations to the finance committee’s recommendations, which were passed last weekend. Representative Charissa Lloyd noted little forewarning of proceedings and graduate admission interviews as possible reasons for the lack of representation. “This is generally the number of people that show up,” said Tim Nichols, speaker of Student Congress, who attended Sunday. “This is about the amount we’ve had in the three years I’ve been here.” He said the group didn’t need quorum for discussion, since there was no actual legislation being passed. Congress will need a quorum of 19 members at its Tuesday meeting in order to pass the budget. The body has had trouble meeting quorum at several meetings this year. The budget had already been significantly cut by the finance committee before this weekend. Organizations in many cases found cuts upward of 75 percent of what they requested. In total, 120 groups requested almost $800,000, twice as much as Congress has to allocate. Across the board, Congress sought to limit the amount of money spent on posters, fliers and other paper products, noting a desire to promote a more environmentally friendly message to students. While many groups pressed for exceptions, Morrill cited fairness and continuity to justify the cuts. “If fliers are really that important, they can always use their CCI money,” said Congress member Jason Sutton. “They get $40, but almost no one uses all of it, so we have been asking people to use that.” Events off campus were often frequently cut, with members noting that Congress would rather choose to support events that would be more easily accessible to students. If the budget passes, Congress will have a presumed surplus of $10,083 for subsequent appropriations in the fall and spring semesters. While most groups found few changes in funds allocated between the finance committee and the full Congress, several groups were able to lobby for more money.

Ackland may open new store Concert to benefit Eve Shop could move “A lot of locals that I talk to say that they to Franklin St. don’t come downtown anymore because there’s nothing there for them anymore.” chloe greene, co-owner of toots & magoo art gallery The Ackland Art Museum originally considered placing the store in the Columbia Street museum, but Brown said they were drawn to the Franklin Street area because of its location. “We have the rare benefit of having a lot of foot traffic,” Brown said. If finalized, the store would sell merchandise related to museum exhibits and events. For example, Curator Timothy Riggs collaborated on a book to complement the current Ackland exhibit, “At the Heart of Progress: Coal, Iron and Steam since 1750.” But there is little space in the museum to share these supplementary materials with the public, Brown said. “Right now we don’t have a great way to sell the book,” Brown said. Brown said the exhibit would benefit from a store on Franklin because the book and related mer-

chandise could be sold there. Chloe Greene, co-owner of neighboring art gallery Toots & Magoo, said she and other businesses owners were excited about the prospect of more cultural venues. She said Franklin Street’s primary atmosphere shifted from one of a “main street” of smaller boutiques to a mall of larger chains during the past twenty years. “A lot of locals that I talk to say that they don’t come downtown anymore because there’s nothing there for them anymore,” she said. But she said that public interest in smaller businesses was increasing, and that she hoped the storefront would revitalize the downtown area. “You can never have enough art on Franklin Street.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Carson memorial fund BY Katie Oliver Staff Writer

Eight campus talent groups will come together with one purpose in tonight’s concert — raising money for the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Fund. The performances range from hard-core rock to traditional Indian dance, but organizers said the diversity is part of the point. The show — called Celebrate Carolina — is sponsored by Students for the Carolina Way, a group created in honor of former Student Body President Eve Carson with the goal of uniting the UNC community. “We had the idea that, OK, it would be really cool to showcase diversity in campus talent,” group member Myles Wynn said. The night will include performances by the a cappella groups Clef Hangers and Loreleis, student rock band Double Loud, rapper Apollo, the UNC gospel choir, Chips improv group, operatic singers and the dance group Bhangra Elite. Ann Howell, Celebrate Carolina events planner, emphasized that

ATTEND ‘CELEBRATE CAROLINA’ Time: 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. today Location: Paul Green Theatre Info: www.carolinaway.org

the show is the result of massive cross-campus collaboration among organizations and talent groups. The money for fliers and stage reservations came from the MoreheadCain Foundation, so all proceeds could go straight to the fund and not into production costs, said Allie McCoy, Students for the Carolina Way public relations chairwoman. The talent showcase also will allow the 150 Morehead-Cain Scholars Program finalists to “get a taste of Carolina culture,” McCoy said. The finalists are attending as a part of their selection weekend. Clef Hanger and event emcee Hogan Medlin said the performance is a great opportunity for the UNC community to witness a seldomseen side of campus culture. Other performers agreed.

Residents and students can explore their family histories and contribute personal paint to a portrait of the community’s history. The Community Art and History Project will feature “Our Stories, In Focus,” a public arts and history collaboration between the University and town. The project will include a series of four workshops that allow participants to research and record personal history, and to contribute to a tapestry of keepsakes. Participants can trace their family histories with the guidance of professional genealogists and share personal experiences in storytelling circles or journal entries. One goal of the project is to bring together people who represent a variety of ethnicities and backgrounds, said Jeffrey York, public arts administrator of Chapel Hill. “It doesn’t matter who we are or where we are from, we are all human and have stories to tell,” he said.

DTH Editor

The Daily Tar Heel

The DTH is seeking four students to serve on the Editor Selection Committee, the 11-member board that will convene on April 4 to select the next editor of the paper. The four at-large students will join the other members in reviewing the applications for editor and interviewing the applicants before making the decision. Any student not working on the DTH staff may apply. Applications are due March 20. They may be obtained at the DTH office, Carolina Union suite 2409, or at Dailytarheel.com under “About Us.” Applicants must be available from 6-7 p.m. Thursday, April 2 and from 8:30 a.m. to as late as 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 4. (Meals are served).

G enealogis ts from UNC ’s Southern Oral History Program will help facilitate residents’ journeys through their pasts. In addition to personal stories, residents can bring keepsakes like photographs, letters or family recipes that show their history. Artists Leah Sobsey and Lynn Bregman Blass will scan the keepsakes, print them on strips of paper and use them to weave a tapestry honoring the community’s history. Blass encourages everyone from the community to contribute personal mementos to the art project. “I believe everyone is an artist, and the more people participate, the better we can create a piece that reflects the diversity of the community,” Blass said. It is likely to take about two and a half months to create the art piece and the goal is to have it displayed permanently in the Student Union by early May, she said. Blass added that one of the benefits of participation is the chance for residents to see themselves in a community art piece that will have a permanent home in Chapel Hill. Three workshops will be held in March and will be located at University Mall, the Carrboro Century Center and the Frank Porter Graham Student Union. Eve Duffy, director of the UNC Program in the Humanities and Human Values, said the project is an opportunity for participants to get involved in something bigger than themselves. “I hope that the project will begin a conversation between people within the University and outside the University and that it will be a starting point for future collaboration and mutual support.”

Those hoping to take advantage of the UNC Wesley Foundation’s expansion plans might now have a place to park. The Wesley Foundation, a University organization associated with United Methodist Church, wants to demolish and rebuild its headquarters at 214 Pittsboro St. to include 96 residential units for students and 105 parking spaces in the coming years. A previous plan brought before the Chapel Hill Town Council in March 2008 offered only 31 spots, but residents complained to the council that it didn’t include sufficient parking. The spaces would be below the brick structure so that it would not exceed 50 feet in height. The current property provides 28 spots. Growth in University enrollment and in the community population motivated the plan, which might

allow the foundation to impact more students. “We’re trying to find a pathway to make it through the next 50 years,” said senior Emily Osterhus, president of the design team. Part of that pathway includes a business model through which the ministry can generate revenue. To do this, they would rent single- and double-occupancy rooms to students at market-rate prices. According to a study, singles should rent for $805 and doubles for $725 per month, generating $1.1 million to $1.6 million annually. The project will cost between $9 million and $13 million. The foundation will also have to raise $2 million to $3 million, Nick Didow, member of the Wesley Foundation board of directors, stated in an e-mail. He said eight students reside at Wesley House, the current building. The new building would cater to 144 students, according to the study. “Students would apply know-

curtain, but no one answered when she asked who was there. She looked up from shaving her legs and found a cell phone in her face, which she assumed was recording her. The second incident occurred Jan. 19, with similar circumstances. Randy Young, DPS spokesman, said at the time that peeping was involved, but that the use of a camera device had not been confirmed. DPS increased police patrols at Teague and held a safety Q-and-A with residents after the first two incidents to try to prevent further incidents. “Our witness in this case is the one whom we applaud,” said DPS Col. George Hare in a press release. “She did exactly what we ask our students to do. She saw something suspicious and did not delay in contacting public safety. It is a perfect example of the partnership between students and law enforcement that helps us make our residence halls and this campus safe. I am impressed with her judgment and grateful for the way she reacted.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

but Duke held the advantage for most of the game after a 13-1 run midway through first half. No. 9 UNC (25-5, 10-4 ACC) got its chance to get back in the game 8 minutes into the second half. Trailing by six, Chay Shegog leapt to grab an offensive rebound and drew the fourth foul from Duke’s Chante Black on the putback. “She’s a great shot-blocker. … With Chante, she can move,” UNC’s Jessica Breland said of Black, who played only 18 minutes but finished with four blocks. With Duke’s leading scorer and rebounder sitting on the bench, the lane was all Breland’s. She made two crucial blocks and pulled down rebound after rebound while the Tar Heels chipped away at the lead. Back-to-back Italee Lucas 3-pointers put the Tar Heels ahead 56-54, and for the first time since 8:42 into the first half, the Tar Heels were in control with the lead. But Duke’s zone stymied the Tar Heels all night, so it was no surprise when the Blue Devils (24-4, 11-3 ACC) pulled it again after the last TV timeout and capitalized on yet another UNC turnover. The Tar Heels again struggled with ball control and finished with a season-high 33 turnovers, including 15 from starting guards Cetera DeGraffenreid and Lucas. Duke shot only 34.5 percent for the game but made up for it by manhandling UNC on loose balls. Their aggressiveness led to 23 steals and a mammoth 32 offensive rebounds. “That was the critical thing — we often made a first-shot miss, but we had to get the rebound and make sure we got the ball,” Duke coach Joanne McCallie said of her team’s 54-42 rebounding advantage. Both teams came out aggressive in overtime and traded baskets back and forth. A 3-point play from freshman Shegog gave UNC a 76-75 edge with 1:45 remaining. She shut down Duke’s Carrem Gray in the post on the next play — but the only other Duke senior left on the court wasn’t about to let a freshman spoil her ACC finale. Waner erased a miserable shooting performance by burying her last 3-pointer from the left wing to put the Blue Devils ahead 78-76. And after a block and an airball on UNC’s next two trips down the court, the result was sealed. “We will use this game as motivation,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “Everything happens for a reason, and this may be a blessing in disguise — I hope so.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

National and World News Kansas governor Department swap Legendary radio picked for cabinet brings on debate man dies at 90 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (MCT) — President Barack Obama has asked Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to run the Department of Health and Human Services. The White House confirmed Saturday that Sebelius, 60, has accepted the president’s nomination. The formal nomination will come Monday. If approved by the Senate, Sebelius will assume responsibility for a $730-plus billion budget — almost a fifth of all federal spending — and wellknown programs like Medicare a n d t h e Fo o d a n d D r u g Administration. Chris Jennings, senior health care advisor in the Clinton White House, said Sebelius is a good choice to lead Obama’s effort to extend health insurance to more Americans. “She is not some Johnnycome-lately to the debate,” he said. “She is well-respected by the policy community and stakeholder community and by many on the Hill who know her.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — In what eventually could become a major bureaucratic turf war, there have been stirrings on Capitol Hill about moving the U.S. Forest Service from the Agriculture to the Interior Department. For more than a century, the Forest Service, which manages the federal forests, has been part of the Agriculture Department, while the nation’s three other public lands agencies have been at Interior. Together, the Forest Service and these other agencies manage more than 680 million acres of forests, rangelands, wetlands, pristine parks and untouched wilderness, mostly in the West. Backers of the switch say it makes sense because the agencies face such similar problems as climate change, wildfires and the pressures of urbanization. Critics say the move wouldn’t save much money, and it could leave the Forest Service more vulnerable to political pressure.

CHICAGO (MCT) — Paul Harvey, a Chicago radio man whose melodious voice and hearty “Hello America” were cherished by millions for more than 57 years on national broadcasts that were an entrancing mix of news, storytelling and gently persuasive salesmanship, died Saturday. He was 90. Called “the voice of Middle America,” and “the voice of the Silent Majority” for his flag-waving conservatism and championing of traditional values, Harvey died surrounded by family at a Phoenix hospital, according to an ABC Radio Networks spokesman. “Paul Harvey was the most listened-to man in the history of radio,” said Bruce DuMont, president of the Museum of Broadcast Communications and host of the nationally syndicated radio program “Beyond the Beltway.” “There is no one who will ever come close to him.”

since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976. The state is also seeking the death penalty against Atwater for the state charges, Jim Woodall, district attorney for Orange and Chatham counties, announced in August. Any evidence from a federal trial can be part of the record for a state trial, Klauer said. Attorneys can use the transcript to cross-examine witnesses and look for conflicting statements. “Obviously whoever goes second has to deal with the fact that someone has already testified,” she said. “That sworn testimony is available in the subsequent hearing.” The federal trial is scheduled to begin in November. Woodall said the state proceedings could begin this winter, but for Atwater they won’t start until after the federal trial concludes.

5

Atwater faces a total of five federal charges, including the kidnapping resulting in death: n  carjacking resulting in death; n  weapons possession by a previously convicted felon; n  using firearms relating to a carjacking and kidnapping resulting in death; and n  possession of an unregistered weapon. Lovette is not facing federal charges and is ineligible for the death penalty because he was younger than 18 at the time of the crime. He and Atwater will be tried separately on the state level but could make joint appearances on some motions. But with Atwater in Greensboro, that becomes unlikely. Orange County Public Defender James Williams, Atwater’s state attorney, did not return calls for comment. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Chris Nickell, who is performing a selection from Mozart’s opera “Don Giovanni,” said he’s participating because he “wanted to represent a constituent of Carolina’s arts that are often left out in concerts like this.” Wynn said the kind of diversity in the event’s repertoire of performances is exactly what Students for the Carolina Way wanted to provide. He said the group went to the big names, but also invited some of the lesser-known performance groups. “We’re really happy with the final group,” Wynn said.

Lenoir is the best Triangle dining hall

— on ‘thorp envisions greater downtown with university square purchase’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Jones: Cabinet selection will be fair and inclusive

R

ivalry is the word among the Triangle’s universities. Yet aside from sports or academics is a comparison equally important to students’ lives: food. I took a little tour of the area’s college eateries to see which triumphs at dinner time. At Duke a dinner at The food COLUMNIST Marketplace on East Campus cost $13.95. They must have had to raise prices for the carpet flooring and delicate woodwork. Or maybe coach Krzyzewski’s salary. Of course, the food did look like it was worth a lot. A plethora of pastries and vegetables and casseroles blanketed the buffet. There were handmade omelets, eggnog ice cream. No foie gras. Roast beef, a dining hall dish I avoid because rubber belongs on tires, was surprisingly restaurantquality, at least Chili’s grade. The fruit was the main attraction — more kinds and fresher and sweeter than anywhere else. But even blueberries couldn’t wash off the bitter taste the price had left in my mouth. At N.C. State I got a much better value. At $7.25 a pop, price is the one thing Cow College does right. Past the register, however, things weren’t so good. The dark, dim, dank decor made me feel like I was in a Pizza Hut in 1974. The food tasted like it had been stewing for just as long. The staff, the most intimidating of the bunch, even questioned why I was staring at the cube steak. But it was the only entirely selfserve dining hall, which is empowering and a way to avoid getting too much mystery meat. I’ll tell you what was good: fries, baked-stuffed shells, birthday cake. That’s it. The milk, produced on school-run farms, was also a plus. Everything else seemed frozen. I can’t believe I even took a bite of the scallops. The chili, rubbery gravy brain matter that it was, made my stomach turn. The yogurt looked like melted plastic. My friend repeatedly asked himself why he kept eating his burger. Worst of all, there were barely any other options. That leaves Lenoir, the place we all know and probably complain about daily. But heed this: Tasting the others put our meals into perspective, and Lenoir isn’t half bad. At $9.25 for nonstudents, Lenoir can do a cookie when it’s warm, provide a never-ending assortment of fries, stew up decent soups and offer a whole lot of variety. The cooks obviously try hard to ensure we don’t go crazy eating the same things week after week. I think Lenoir struggles with preparation. The ingredients and ideas are good, but rarely are they cooked right. The rice is still hard, the tofu tough, the pasta not done enough. This is all probably a consequence of cooking in bulk, but the dining hall needs to work on it. When Lenoir figures it out, the food won’t be discernible from some of places on Franklin Street. Now after trying the three schools’ eateries, I can dub one the winner. It’s definitely not State. Duke’s dishes looked prettier and tasted better than UNC’s but was not worth the extra $4.75. That leaves the place we call home, Tar Heel Heaven. It’s hard to love something so much when it becomes so tied into your routine, but if you went there only once a week, you’d like Lenoir a lot more. Be happy you’re saving about $1,000 a semester without risking colon cancer with each bite. Go Heels.

Protect free speech Systemwide hate crime policy should not infringe on students’ First Amendment rights

U

NC-system President Erskine Bowles should exercise a great deal of caution when deciding whether or not to finalize a systemwide hate crime policy for UNC schools. The commission, created in December in response to racist messages written on the Free Expression Tunnel at N.C. State, voted Thursday to recommend such a policy to Bowles. Both the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina Legal Foundation a n d t h e Fo u n d a t i o n f o r Individual Rights in Education have warned Bowles against implementing University policies that could threaten students’ right to free speech. To its credit, the UNC study commission made sure to emphasize its commitment to

protect the First Amendment. But some of the statements from members of the commission and community give rise to concern. One raised questions about “emotional trauma” as it relates to hate crimes. Fortunately this language was not included in the commission’s recommendation. And Archie Ervin, director of diversity and multicultural affairs at UNC, said, “We endorse the right of freedom of expression to the point that it does not create hostility.” Of course we should avoid hostility and be mindful of how our expressions can harm the emotions of others. But this type of language in an official policy could potentially pose a threat to free speech on campus. For example, if “emotional trauma” is enough to constitute

a hate crime, that could effectively outlaw all forms of “emotionally traumatic” speech. Not only would this be unacceptable, it would be unconstitutional. Commission leader Dr. Harold Martin said the aim of the recommended policy is to form a consistent framework for the treatment of “inappropriate student behavior, including hate crimes.” A consistent policy for hate crimes on UNC-system campuses is certainly reasonable. But exercising free speech on campus — however vile — should never be considered “inappropriate student behavior.” And Mr. Bowles should bear this in mind moving forward. Students deserve a clear, unambiguous policy to ensure their free speech rights are protected.

Innovative advising Peer advising program could help students better plan their academic path at the University

P

eer advising at the University is long overdue — and it’s a win-win for students and the University alike. The program, proposed in 2007 and recently approved by University administrators, allows students to seek experiential advice from “official” peer advisers within their respective academic departments. The goal of the program is to enhance the academic experience by facilitating something students do already — asking their friends for advice about classes and professors. Official academic advising often doesn’t offer the advice that students want — such as recommending professors,

providing knowledge of departmental opportunities and so forth. Peer advising picks up where academic advising leaves off by better addressing the more specific needs of students. However, it’s important to remember these students are not academic advisers — they can’t help with technical advising duties. Whereas academic advising focuses on requirements, peer advising is more experiential based. Nonetheless, in order for this program to succeed, peer advisers must be held accountable for their advice. The proposed mechanisms for oversight are departmental evaluations, electronic meeting notes

and student government oversight. The pilot program, slated to being next fall, will give student government and participating academic departments the opportunity to work out kinks and ensure the program is effective. Better yet, this pilot program will not place any additional financial burdens on departments — it’s volunteer-based. Peer advising has the potential to dramatically change how students plan their academic path, at no additional cost to the University. If successfully implemented, this program could greatly supplement the University’s current advising services.

The University should consider a four-day school week for future summer sessions to save money

our-day school weeks for the University’s summer sessions should be seriously considered as a possible measure to lessen the effects of the budget crisis. In Durham County, community college officials will adopt a four-day week class schedule for the summer in an effort to cut costs. D u r h a m Te c h n i c a l Community College will stay open from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. so that employees would still work a 40-hour workweek with one fewer day. The community college

is expected to save $30,000 dollars in utilities alone, not to mention the additional savings from hiring fewer parttime employees. The plan also has environmental benefits, according to Durham Tech President Bill Ingram. As commuters will be driving one fewer day a week, carbon monoxide emissions will be reduced by 20 percent. With budget cuts and layoffs on the rise, UNC-Chapel Hill could look at this creative cost-saving move as a potential option for future summer

sessions. The four-day school week for summer sessions would certainly be a massive overhaul of the current system and probably couldn’t be implemented as easily as at Durham Tech. The sheer size of the University could make the implementation of this idea difficult. But the idea ­— and others like it — should be taken into consideration. With severe budget cuts, the University should be open to any ideas that can save money.

TO THE EDITOR: I just want to address the editorial (“Beware the spoils system,” Feb. 24) that cautioned for the Jones Administration to avoid participating in a spoils system. I want to make my first steps toward transparency for my administration by informing the student body of the selection process for the new executive board. Executive board positions are open to all students who are interested in being involved with student government. We are searching for a diverse group of students who will contribute to building a strong voice for the student body, being representative of all views. I wrote a personal e-mail that will be sent over many listservs starting Monday, trying to encourage students to apply to be an executive officer. The selection committee consists of the Raynor Administration executive board, who will conduct all of the interviews. I will not be a part of any of them. I will receive three recommendations from the selection committee and I will conduct my own personal interviews to select the best students for the job. My obligation as student body president is to pick the strongest team that will represent and serve the student body. I plan to make that my No. 1 priority when selecting these individuals. The “Jasmin Consensus” will have no bearing on the selection process. The candidates that supported me are qualified like all other students to get the job done, and if they apply for the administration, they deserve a fair opportunity like all other students. I want to make it clear that the executive board is not set and will be open to everyone who applies. I want people to believe in my administration and trust in my efforts to give all students an equal opportunity to become involved in student government leadership, whether it is for executive board, cabinet or committees. I strongly urge all students who are interested to apply by 12 a.m. Saturday. Applications are available at studentorgs.unc. edu/studgov. Jasmin Jones Student Body President-elect

Editorial criticizing ROTC priority registration faulty TO THE EDITOR: I realize that The Daily Tar Heel is run by students, and that the editorial board can hide behind the shield of relative anonymity, but is it really so much to ask that you maintain some level of professionalism? The editorial on priority registration (“No to priority registration,” Feb. 25) was one of the most poorly written hit-pieces I’ve ever seen. Although I sometimes wish we did only have to do three hours of physical training every week, some of us spend 15 to 20 hours in required courses, labs and prep. That’s almost as much as some UNC sports teams. Also, forgetting the fact that all cadets get University credit for Army courses, which automatically disqualifies it as an “extracurricular” activity, I think some of our alumni serving in Iraq and Afghanistan would find

it funny that my fellow students think that ROTC is simply an “extracurricular activity.” Lt. Col. (Monte) Yoder actually had nine reasons he outlined in his appeal. It’s interesting that the DTH only saw fit to print the point about three-hour sessions and summer training. The DTH also could have asked any of the dozens of cadets on campus how many hours we put in each week. We wear our uniforms once a week — we aren’t hard to spot. So thanks for throwing men and women who will fight for your country in Afghanistan and Iraq under the bus with poorly researched “facts” in order to advance your own agenda. It’s nice to know our work is appreciated. John Green Junior Army ROTC Cadet

The continuous enrollment policy would be a disaster TO THE EDITOR: The Graduate School’s proposed Continuous Enrollment Policy (CEP) threatens central aspects of our graduate programs. One key concern is that the CEP as currently proposed strongly discourages our doctoral students from carrying out field work and research overseas. To find funds for overseas research, our students compete for competitive grants which might still pay less than their current stipend, and sometimes even our very best students cobble together funds from a variety of sources. In both cases, under the proposed policy, this makes them ineligible for CEP tuition support and thus imposes on them — contrary to current practice — what is in effect a substantial new cost. These students simply cannot afford to pay these tuition charges in this phase of their research, and some departments cannot afford to cover tuition for them. For current doctoral students, the CEP “benefit” of accelerating students through to degree could come at the high cost of eliminating or minimizing field research experience. Some of them might well end up mired in even deeper debt to address the additional costs this policy imposes. Our ability to recruit the very best students will also be substantially hurt, as these turn to less competitive schools that provide better financial incentives. This is especially true for international students, for whom tuition charges under the CEP while carrying out field research are a significant new burden. “Global Carolina” at the graduate level outside the Natural Sciences will shrivel. CEP threatens several of UNC’s leading graduate programs, with profound implications for quality of undergraduate instruction. Elements of this proposed policy promise to send the state’s premier Ph.D.-granting institution backward in these uncertain times, which is surely not the message we should be sending to the citizens of North Carolina.

The Daily Tar Heel

Final seconds decide UNC-Duke matchup By Mike Ehrlich Senior Writer

DURHAM — It took all of five seconds to decide a 45-minute basketball game. With less than a minute left in overtime, North Carolina went from having a 1-point lead and the ball to having the dagger thrust in on the team. Five seconds: that’s how quickly luck can change when it’s Duke vs. UNC. North Carolina point guard

Cetera DeGraffenreid turned the ball over, and as Duke came the other way, Abby Waner drilled a 3-pointer to give the Blue Devils the win and the third seed in the ACC. Those five seconds spoke volumes about the rest of the game. Before that shot, Waner was having a lousy Senior Night. After making her first shot attempt, she missed 14 in a row, and some of them weren’t even close. Asked what she was thinking

when she let the last one go, she responded quickly. “I wasn’t thinking,� Waner said. “It was just ball-basket, sometimes you just have to dumb it down. Then it goes in.� It was a lack of thinking on the Tar Heels’ end that allowed the play to happen. DeGraffenreid made a poor decision trying to enter the ball into the post, and Joy Cheek came up with the ball for Duke. After the game, UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell was at a loss for

words as to the cause of the turnover. “You tell me,� she said. “We were trying to pass it into the post, and they knocked it away. It wasn’t a good decision.� Usually effective as UNC’s floor general, DeGraffenreid struggled with fouls and frustration all night. She finished with just one assist and eight turnovers. Her partner in the backcourt, shooting guard Italee Lucas, had seven turnovers of her own, as

questionable decision-making and a tough Duke zone disrupted UNC’s entry passes for all 45 minutes. None was more crucial than Cheek’s interception. After the steal, Cheek quickly transitioned to offense and pushed the ball up the sideline. As the Tar Heels were slow to get back, Cheek dropped the ball off to Waner, who was trailing her and wound up at the left wing. “We always just stress following somebody, and she made a great

pass,� Waner said. From there it was simple. Catch and shoot. And swish. “Down in crunch time, I think you try to think, just get Abby,� a dejected Rashanda McCants said after the game. “But at that time, she’s got a really quick release, so it’s kind of out of your reach.� “It was a big breakdown.� Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 5 - It’s usually good to talk things over. There are occasions, however, when it’s better to stay quiet. Postpone a discussion about finances for now. Concentrate on doing your job. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8 - Someone you know has very strong opinions, with which you don’t agree. You don’t need to mention that again. This jerk is obviously not listening. He or she is too busy shouting. Stay cool. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 5 - It’s fun to speculate, but don’t make a big investment in something that hasn’t been proven yet. Sure, it would be nice if it works, but you’d better make sure it does before you put your money there. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8 - It’s hard for you to say no to just about anything your loved ones want. Don’t let them use your generosity against you. Instead of paying for everything, teach them how to do business. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 5 - You have plenty to say, but you may feel like nobody’s listening. Write it all down. This could be the basis of your next book or proposal. Review it before you go public. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 - Something you were worried about proves to be untrue. This is sort of embarrassing, if you were taken in. Don’t dwell on the negative. Be thankful another fear has been quelled. (c) 2008 TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES, INC.

I just guessed right.” In the second game of the series, UNC even managed to generate a 4-3 win with All-Americas Dustin Ackley and Kyle Seager combining for just one hit and no RBIs. With the game scoreless in the bottom of the sixth inning, Ryan Graepel led off with a solo home run — his first career homer — laced over the left field wall. And in the final game of the evening, it was Mark Fleury and freshman Levi Michael who both homered. Michael came up huge on defense, too, making a catch on Seton Hall’s A.J.

know it was tough for all outfielders on both sides tonight. “Not only was it raining, but the wind was swirling. And you had no idea where the ball was. You just had to rely on your teammates to tell you where it was.” With UNC’s defense holding strong against the rain and its offense doing anything it could to produce runs, the Tar Heel pitching staff set to lock down Seton Hall’s offense. All three of UNC’s starting pitchers picked up wins on the

weekend, and Brian Moran pitched 3.1 innings of relief work in two appearances and gave up only one run. “Normally Brian just pounds the strike zone, and that’s what you want — you want strike throwers,” Fox said. “Our team is still pitching and defense, and we may not win pretty right now, but we’ll take 4-3, 5-1 wins.”

one play midway through the first half when UNC worked the ball around the perimeter and Green found himself open in the left corner for a 3-ball. Then minutes later it was Lawson who spotted Bobby Frasor at the top of the arc for a 3-ball swish. “Just making the extra pass, like to Bob. I think I had a shot, but Bob was wide open and he knocked down the 3,” Lawson said. “So just making the extra pass is making us a lot better because we have a bunch of different scoring threats on the team.” Lawson, who had a season-low two assists against Maryland, tied a career high with 11 on Saturday against two turnovers while scoring just four points — all from the free throw line. “Ty Lawson, I told him in the locker room — that may be as good as I’ve ever seen a point guard play when he didn’t score a field goal,” Williams said. And Lawson wasn’t the only one getting involved in the passing. Six UNC players recorded at least two dimes, and nine had at least one. After just five assists on 29 baskets up in College Park, the Tar Heels had 13 assists for 17 first-half buckets on Saturday and 26 for 37 during the entire game. “Today we were hitting some more shots, and guys were sharing the ball, passing the ball around,” Green said. “We play like that, I feel like we have a good chance of being a good team.”

ated by former coach Bill Lam, and Scroggs said one issue was getting the approval for that money to be used for facility construction. Mock, who said he had a meeting Monday to get the final numbers, estimated it will cost about $2.5 to $3 million. Scroggs said there are still issues about the cost because current estimates are a bit high. Construction still has not begun, and Scroggs said the plan is to start this coming fall with a completion goal of May 2010. Mock said another problem with the delay is that his credibility has suffered because he had told some of his current wrestlers they’d be wrestling in a new room. The planned renovation will be a two-floor project which includes an expanded wrestling room, space for weight equipment, a locker room, a team video room and a lounge. Mock is insistent that the facilities don’t affect his ability to produce a quality team. But facilities have a large effect on recruiting, and since UNC’s tough admission standards already limit the wrestlers he can recruit, top-of-the-line facilities can be a big selling point — especially when a recruit sees other schools that do have them. “Certainly there’s an aspect of this that we want to emphasize that we’re trying to take care of our guys,” Mock said. “But the reality of this is about recruiting. This is about being able to attract the very best guys.”

The North Carolina lacrosse team continued its unbeaten season Saturday with a 14-6 win against Lehigh in Maryland. The No. 4 Tar Heels were led by senior Bart Wagner and Sean Delaney, both with four goals, though seven UNC players scored in the match. North Carolina outshot the 0-3 Lehigh 56-24, including a 21-2 margin in the first quarter. UNC returns home to play DetroitMercy on Tuesday before traveling to Notre Dame next weekend.

Verplank stayed in the pool, on the exercise bike and on the elliptical. “Those are some lonely hours in rehab — especially for a freshman,” coach Dennis Craddock said. “I was so surprised when she took charge like that. She’s kept herself in incredible shape.” Those lonely hours gave way to doubts for Verplank. The countless hours in the pool and on the bike began to weigh on the Bloomington, Ill., native. “It was rough not knowing whether I would be able to make it back in time to run indoor,” Verplank said. “My mentality of racing and being good gradually faded, and I was struggling to want to stay here in North Carolina, because that is ultimately why I came here.” Coach Craddock asked Verplank if she would consider a medical redshirt, but she wanted to get back as soon as she could. “She’s a ferocious athlete,” Craddock said. “You can see fire in her eyes. She brings it to practice. I know she’s a fierce competitor.” Contact the Sports Editor At the Virginia Tech Challenge, at sports@unc.edu. Verplank had to run unattached,

meaning she was not able to wear a UNC jersey or be considered part of the team. Verplank won her heat and finished sixth in the finals with a time of 4:53.57, setting up the opportunity to run at the ACC Championships. On Friday, Verplank finally donned Carolina blue and finished fifth in her heat, the fastest of the three heats, and advanced to the finals with the ninth-fastest time in the prelims. The freshman finished sixth in the finals, in which Florida State’s Susan Kuijken notched an ACC record in the event. “I went my own pace and did my own thing,” Verplank said. “I was running second-to-last, and on the last lap I had enough to catch three girls.” Verplank, being the fierce competitor Craddock described, was upset she didn’t place higher in the event. But she was also aware that her three points was “better than nothing” and helped separate the national 13th ranked Heels from the competition. “Of course, the baby blue is always cute,” Verplank said of getting to wear the UNC jersey. “It’s about team, it’s about trying to do something for the team and finally representing something more than just yourself.”

To say that the North Carolina men’s swim team broke a few records at the ACC championships during the weekend would be an understatement. After ending both Thursday and Friday in fourth place, No. 16 UNC surged on Saturday to seize third place, while breaking more than 10 school records along the way. “It took us all meet to catch Georgia Tech, and we did,” UNC coach Rich DeSelm told tarheelblue. com Saturday. Visit Sports News at www.daily tarheel.com for the full story.

Danny Green chipped in with 18 second-half points to total 23 for the day, and UNC even got 29 points from its bench. A more aggressive Bobby Frasor scored nine and jumped several Ga. Tech passing lanes on defense, while Tyler Zeller netted eight. “We had a long week,” said Wayne Ellington, who finished with 10 points. “We came out and got after it in practice. “Coach got after us, and we knew we had to pick it up to be the team we want to be. We came out today with a lot of enthusiasm.” The two teams traded baskets for a while before a 21-5 spurt midway through the first half gave UNC a double-digit lead it would hold onto all day.

Lewis Clinch scored 22 points and Alade Aminu added 19 inside for the Yellow Jackets (10-17, 1-13 in the ACC). But it was Hansbrough who stole the show early, scoring 11 of the first 13 points for North Carolina (25-3, 11-3) before eventually setting the free throw record. Hansbrough, who said he makes 50 free throws before every practice, needed 208 fewer attempts than Wake Forest’s Dickie Hemric, the previous record holder. After scoring just 11 points in the Maryland game, Hansbrough said he couldn’t wait to get back on the court. And it should come as no surprise — in the games following his three worst scoring outputs of the season, he has netted 31, 27 and now 28. “That Maryland game, that was one of the most frustrating games of my career,” he said. “You have that game for a whole week, and you’re just ready to play and make a statement from the start.” With two games remaining in the regular season, multiple Tar Heels said the most important thing was to follow up last Saturday’s performance by delivering a message to the rest of the ACC. “For us to make a statement after a loss like that, it means a lot to us,” Green said.

Tar Heels sweep rainy series Facility INSide Athletics

UNC tops Seton Hall in three games by Powell Latimer Senior Writer

Coach Mike Fox has repeated multiple times that his No. 3 North Carolina baseball team needs to find ways to manufacture runs. This weekend against Seton Hall, the Tar Heels (7-1) went to work and hit their way to a threegame sweep of the Pirates (2-4) in a rain-soaked series at Boshamer Stadium. And no one did more than outfielder Ben Bunting. For the weekend, Bunting had 13 plate appearances and reached base eight times — that’s an on-base percentage of .615. “He’s probably the toughest guy to strike out on our team,” Fox said,

“He doesn’t have a lot of movement at the plate, and he’s putting the ball in play.” In UNC’s 10-3 win in the final game, Bunting recorded career highs in hits and RBI with three of each. Combine that with Bunting’s two runs scored, and the sophomore had a hand in half of UNC’s run production. Bunting and UNC’s speedy lineup took advantage of the weekend’s sloppy conditions — which included a rain delay of more than an hour in the third game — and benefited from 10 Seton Hall errors. Yet while the weekend was filled with sacrifice flies, bunts and small ball from UNC — Tarron Robinson

907 AND COUNTING Hansbrough sets free throw record By Mike Ehrlich Senior Writer

After spending a week reflecting on some of its worst basketball of the season, No. 4 North Carolina took out its frustration Saturday by blowing out ACC cellar-dweller Georgia Tech, 104-74. Tyler Hansbrough was aggressive early and got to the free throw line eight times in the victory. In doing so, he set the all-time NCAA record for most career free throws made with 907. “It means a lot,” Hansbrough said. “Those are some great players up there, and for me to be at that top spot, it’s an honor. But also it’s a lot of hard work — there’s a lot of fouls involved.” Hansbrough and the Tar Heels had faced a lot of doubters in the past week after surrendering a 9-point lead at the end of regulation in College Park and eventually losing to Maryland in the extra period. They also faced a week’s worth of what coach Roy Williams called “very complete” practices. “It was probably in the top three

And we tried making some better decisions.” They started by sharing the ball. After accumulating just five assists in the entire Maryland game, the Tar Heels recorded an assist on each of the first five baskets Saturday. This was largely due to Ty Lawson, who shot 0-of-3 from the floor but tied a career high with 11 assists. “I told him in the locker room, that was maybe as good as I’ve ever seen a point guard play when he didn’t score a field goal,” Williams said.

Lawson’s 11 assists open up offense by jesse Baumgartner senior writer

With more than 14 minutes left in Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech, North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson streaked down the floor at his usual breakneck speed. Scanning his teammates filling the lanes around him, Lawson threaded a bounce pass to Danny Green on the right for a layup to put UNC up 66-41. As he made his way back down the court, all fingers back on the Tar Heel bench pointed to Lawson — the longtime UNC tradition of recognizing the player who made the pass. After a performance one week ago against Maryland that didn’t exactly scream teamwork, there was a lot more finger-pointing going on in the Smith Center during Saturday’s 104-74 rout. The Tar Heels managed a mere five assists to score their 85 points

in the overtime loss to the Terps, and “selfish” was used multiple times in postgame interviews — not exactly a word to be throwing around lightly at this point in the season. But that would change in a hurry against the Yellow Jackets, and UNC consistently spread the ball around in the half-court sets and found streakers on the break. The Tar Heels matched their Maryland total in assists before six minutes had ticked off the clock, and they ended up with 26. “Well, we didn’t emphasize just the assists,” said coach Roy Williams, who led what players described as very intense practices during the week. “We emphasized sharing the basketball, and we emphasized the 16 really, really, really bad shots that we took up at Maryland.” Green was the beneficiary on

Prior to Friday’s 1-mile preliminaries at the ACC Track and Field Indoor Championship at Virginia Tech, Ashley Verplank had never worn a North Carolina track jersey. By the end of the title meet, Verplank was the only Tar Heel to score in the women’s 1-mile run, helping the UNC women’s track and field team to a second place finish in her first match under the banner of North Carolina. Having been unable to run due to injury, the freshman only had one chance to qualify for ACC

Championships — last weekend’s Virginia Tech Challenge. “The entire week was back and forth about, ‘You’re going. Wait, no, you’re not,’” Verplank said. “Two hours before I left, I found out that I would have the opportunity to race.” Because she had yet to run all season, Verplank was ineligible to travel with the team. Instead of taking the team bus to Blacksburg, Va., she had to hitch a ride with a teammate who offered at the last minute. “When I found out I had the opportunity to go to VT, I looked at it as a win-win situation,” Verplank

Athletic renovations can be seen all around campus, whether it’s the construction on Carmichael Auditorium or the opening of the baseball season at the newly renovated Boshamer Stadium. But one project that’s had a hard time getting completed — or even started, for that matter — has been an improved wrestling practice facility. Coach C.D. Mock began looking into a new facility when he arrived as an assistant coach back in 2000, and the process began in about 2003. And though there is now a renovation plan for the existing wrestling room in Fetzer Gym, it’s been a trying process. “We’re frustrated because we were ahead of the Carmichael renovation, we were ahead of Boshamer, we were ahead of the sports medicine facility,” Mock said. “And all these facilities are moving along, they’ve broken ground — we haven’t even put a shovel in the ground.” UNC’s current wrestling room in Fetzer is too small to fit the entire team, so Mock splits the practice up between the higher and lower weight classes. The team also does not have an area for weight training, a lounge or a locker room (though it does have its own changing space in Fetzer). “We don’t have a locker room. We have never had a locker room. UNC wrestling has never had a locker room,” Mock said. Senior Associate Athletic Director for Facilities Willie Scroggs said the planning and development process for such projects is always an extensive task. He also mentioned designs, financial approvals and other construction in the area of the proposed renovation. “This one has taken a little bit more than maybe some others,” he said. “You just can’t start to do something before you’ve got all that stuff in place. “But it has been — I think all of us will agree that it has been — regrettable that it’s taken so much time to get this thing done.” Mock said he does understand that wrestling can get “rearranged … on the pile of importance” when higher-profile sports such as baseball and women’s basketball have facility projects. “But it’s gotten a little ridiculous,” he said. A significant amount of the money for the project is coming from the Carolina Wrestling Endowment Fund originally cre-

Verplank ran cross country in the fall season for UNC, finishing as high as second

on the team in one meet. But the distance runner was having problems with her heels. In September, doctors and trainers diagnosed it as plantar fasciitis, an inflammatory condition in the arches on the foot. “I ran on it to the point that I ended up limping to the starting line and (barely) walking by the time I reached the finish line,” Verplank said. With cross country cut short, her upcoming indoor track season looked doubtful. But Verplank wasn’t ready to give
