Despite statements that UNC would not raise out-of-state tuition next year by more than the $200 required by the state budget, administrators now say a larger increase is necessary. The aboutINSIDE face in plans UNC is also stems from a discussing closer reading student fee of confusing language in the increases. state’s budget, page 8 which administrators originally believed limited larger increases across the board.

dents, but says nothing about a cap for out-of-state tuition. It states only that all tuition must be raised at least $200. “The budget is silent on nonresident increases,” said interim Provost Bruce Carney. “We simply had to take a closer look at our tuition policy.” Carney discussed the potential increases while talking to the Faculty Council on Friday. He said the tuition and fees advisory task force will explore the possibility of “reasonable” increases for non-resident tuition, calling such increases necessary in the face of rising applications for need-based aid. Need-based financial aid
requests are up 17 percent this year, Carney said. Non-resident students make up about 20 percent of the student body. Administrators have not said how much the increases would be. “We want to minimize the pain and maximize the returns on these increases,” Carney said. The task force, which convenes annually, will seek input from students, administrators and the University’s departments to determine how much to increase tuition. In late August, Carney and Chancellor Holden Thorp said the task force would not be formed, but the group would still collect

Tuition increases The change in policy stems from a misunderstanding of the budget’s wording, which administrators thought prohibited any increase of more than $200. Here’s the actual wording, according to the North Carolina budget and the summary provided to lawmakers:
From the budget summary: 97 Tuition Increase: Increases annual tuition by the lesser of $200 or 8 percent at all UNC institutions in FY 201011. This tuition increase is applied to both resident and nonresident students at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

UNC to still recruit heavily BY Lyle Kendrick

Theater and production companies on and around campus are wooing students with discounted or free tickets and packages.
Section 9.23.(a): Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no campus-initiated tuition increase for students who are North Carolina residents shall be approved by the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina or implemented for the 2010-2011 academic year except as provided otherwise in this section.

City Editor
Now that University Square and Granville Towers are owned by the UNC-Chapel Hill Foundation, plans are in motion to mostly demolish and rebuild the site. The plans for the 12 acres include triple the retail space, a multi-level parking deck with 300 more spots and more than 200,000 square feet of office space. This week, one of six architect finalists will be selected to carry out the vision, said Gordon Merklein, executive director for real estate at the University. “It’s UNC, it’s the town, it’s the community,” Merklein said. “Everyone will feel this.”
The University didn’t know exactly what it would do with the property when they announced the $45.75 million purchase in June 2008. But now large poster boards lean against the walls of Merklein’s office, each with a color-coded draft map of potential plans architects submitted for consideration. Planners are referring to it as 123 Franklin Street. Some architects keep Granville Towers student housing intact while others tear it down and add some market-value housing and grass. They are only ideas. But all put a spin on the University’s vision for the space: a site that will better connect with campus and with the rest of Franklin Street. The University is looking for plans that bring businesses to the sidewalk to increase customer traffic, Merklein said. There are 30,000 square feet of
“You’re going to see a deck go up, then a building. This is not a start all at once, finish all at once project." Gordon Merklein, UNC Executive Director for Real Estate retail space now, but that number will increase to 90,000 or 100,000, he said. The University will also try to convince current businesses, like the Time Out Restaurant, to stay. Demand for parking spots downtown will increase as Lot 5, across from University Square, converts into a mixed-use development. So 123 Franklin Street will eventually be a central parking destination, Merklein said. Passage to the University will be improved, too, so Granville residents don’t have to walk by a Fraternity Court dumpster.
Development of University Square PAST June 2008 The UNC Foundation announced purchase of University Square and Granville Towers for $45.75 million.
Summer 2009 Sale closed. University police start having jurisdiction of the property.
WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW September 3, 2009
Planners narrow architect search to six firms.
This week Planners choose an architect.
Next week
Planners meet with architect.
This fall
The University hosts public information sessions and forums.
This spring
A concept plan for the space will be ready.
SOURCE: GORDON MERKLEIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
FUTURE PLANS Within two years The University will apply for a special use permit from the town of Chapel Hill.
Within five years
Construction will begin.
DETAILS INCLUDE:
- 90,000 to 100,000 square feet of retail space. - 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space. - 300 new parking spaces. - A museum or other civic component. - A grocery store. - Some green open space. - Street-front retail DTH/CHRISTINE HELLINGER
Other components include a grocery store, some green space and a civic component like a movie theater or a museum. The Ackland Art Museum has expressed interest in moving there, business director Suzanne Rucker said. Plans will be tweaked after public info sessions this fall, and a final concept plan should be ready in the spring, Merklein said. The University still hasn’t figured out how it will move more than 1,300 students to alternative housing if Granville Towers closes for construction. “It‘s all kind of a coordinated dance,” housing director Larry Hicks said. “We need to take into consideration what’s going on there, they need to take into consideration what’s going on here.” Hicks isn’t sure what kind of person it will house — underclassmen, graduates, post-doctorate students or faculty. It could be 2014 before anything moves. “It has got to be economically feasible,” Merklein said. And it won’t happen all at once. “You’re going to see a deck go up, then a building,” Merklein said. “This is not a start all at once, finish all at once project.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
The admissions office has made minor spending changes in a tight budget year, but administrators said recruitment is staying on track in part through other UNC organizations’ help. Stephen Farmer, associate director of undergraduate admissions, said the admissions office has seen smaller cuts — about 10 percent — than other areas of UNC . “We feel we’ve been treated pretty well by the University,” Farmer said. “On the whole, we’ve come out pretty good.” The state budget, which was handed down at the beginning of August, cuts about $37.5 million from UNC. The cuts hit almost every department. Farmer said the cut to the admissions office was not as substantial as other departments. The office also took precautions before the cuts and have continued to practice those measures. “We’re going to have to work harder than we have before and we’re going to have to be smarter than we’ve been before,” Farmer said. The office has begun using more e-mail and fewer staff members for recruiting events to cut spending. They also reduced travel funds, which could hurt the UNC’s ability to recruit out-of-state students, about 20 percent of students. “We are going to continue what’s been a trend of trying to get students to come to campus rather than go to them,” Farmer said.
Recruiting for free Farmer added that many organizations both on and off campus have been helpful in reducing official recruitment costs. Farmer said the General Alumni Association has aided in the recruiting process, dispatching volunteer out-of-state alumni to college fairs and talking with admitted students to ensure they choose UNC instead of other schools. Doug Dibbert, association president, said members have been working with the admissions office in a variety of ways. “One of those is admitted student receptions across the state,” Dibbert said. “We bring students with us and usually have a faculty speaker and a student speaker. The thrust of it is to address questions they may have to encourage them to come to Carolina.” Other organizations helping the admissions office include the Board of Visitors, the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs and the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid. The admissions office has also used hundreds of student volunteers to recruit over the

Cork causes fire fight
E
From staff and wire reports
mergency crews fighting a Wyoming fire following a cargo truck crash found themselves being shot at Monday. The cargo truck had been carrying wine, and the corks from the bottles began to explode and shoot at the firemen. “The corks were popping out of the bottles like the old Jiffy Pop (popcorn) we grew up with,” Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Scott Keane said. The fire was so intense that the truck was completely burned to its axles. Firefighters said they also had to deal with shattering bottles. The wine-bearing driver was able to escape, and no one was injured. NOTED. A number of churches in Sweden have begun serving fortified wine to help combat the spread of the H1N1 virus. Church authorities have said they are hoping that the fortified wine will fight off the virus better than light or nonalcoholic wines. Several churches in Sweden have also recommended that people not take communion to help with prevention. Some churches simply dip bread instead of sip from a common cup.
QUOTED. “One of the things I’ve worked on almost my whole career is breeding for disease resistance. “We’ve made some great strides in vegetable peas and are continuing that with field peas, both green and yellow. We want high yield, stability of yield, high quality and excellent agronomic characteristics. We just have to build the perfect pea.” — Rebecca McGee, a geneticist at the USDA Agricultural Research Service, whose expertise is in pea breeding.

Prisons treat mental health Peers Castillo lawyers debate quality of care By Anika Anand Assistant City Editor
Last month, a jury sentenced a 22-year-old killer to life in prison despite his lawyers’ best efforts to prove he was not guilty by reason of insanity. Both the defense and prosecution agree that Alvaro Castillo has a severe mental illness, but they disagree about whether he will receive the same level of mental care in a state hospital versus a state prison. In August 2006, Castillo, a former Orange High School student, shot his father to death then opened fire on his school in an attempt to recreate the Columbine High
School shootings. A forensic psychiatrist at Dorothea Dix Hospital testified that Castillo has a schizoaffective disorder — a combination of schizophrenia and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression. N.C. Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, is the chairwoman of the assembly health committee. She said the Department of Correction coordinates with the Division of Mental Health to have more uniform services, but they aren’t truly uniform. “I am under the impression that prison services are not as extensive or intensive as they would be in a mental hospital,” she said.
About 40,000 are incarcerated in North Carolina, and about 10 percent are inmates receiving some level of mental health treatment, said John Carbone, mental health section chief for the Division of Prisons. “The care isn’t 100 percent synonymous, but when talking about the level of care, it’s pretty darn close,” he said. Prisons don’t offer electroshock therapy and specialty care for conditions like anorexia or post traumatic stress disorder, he said. But the real “meat and potatoes” of treating someone with an illness like Castillo’s are medications, Carbone said. The same medications are offered in both facilities, and there is no difference in the frequency of day-to-day therapy, he said.
advise in arts, sciences
Williams said that the prison environment makes all the difference in treating someone with a mental illness and that it’s a major stretch to put the two on the same level. “For a person who has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to prison, their primary focus is going to be on punishment and security,” he said. If Castillo had been found criminally insane, he would have been in a secure facility where the focus would be treating mental health, said James Williams, his public defender.

Roderick Gattis was arrested for assault inflicting serious injury. Chapel Hill police said the man was treated at UNC Hospitals and is expected to survive. Witnesses said he suffered a blow to the head and blood could be seen on the street. Police said officers are talking to investigators about arresting the other man once he is released from the hospital. Police would not release his name. The men were driving and one cut the other one off, witness Brawnell Simms said. One man got out of each car and started shouting, then throwing punches, Simms said.

Mark Burnett, center, age 53, is at home at “He’s Not Here,” a local bar where he has worked since he was an undergraduate student at UNC.
He’s still here — and loving it Local bar manager likes working with people By Emily Kennard Assistant features editor
For Mark Burnett, the manager of the popular bar He’s Not Here, seeing former customers’ children is common. Burnett, 53, started working at the bar in 1978, when he was a student at UNC. He’s still there. “I know a lot of kids who come in who say their parents met here,” Burnett said. “The first thing I ask is, ‘Are they still together?’ If they say no, I try not to get involved. I don’t want to get blamed.” Burnett started as a bouncer, worked his way up to assistant manager and is now the manager. “At first, it was a supplement income,” he said. “Everyone wants to work at a bar. It’s cool to work at a bar — or so they say.” As a bouncer Burnett got his first taste of the bar nightlife. Early in his career, he had to break up an altercation between a husband and wife, in which Burnett was oddly

I like talking and laughing with them,” he said. “It’s not so much a job — it’s an adventure.” Burnett has served plenty of crazy customers over the years. He’s pulled naked people out of trees, dealt with flashing fiascoes and witnessed people removing other clothing items. “There was one girl who took her pants off and wouldn’t put them back on,” he said. “I don’t think that was just beer.” Burnett works every day at He’s Not Here, usually in a T-shirt and bathing suit bottoms. “You know the weather is cold when Mark goes over to long pants,” said Guy-John Landry, a He’s Not Here regular. But Burnett said his laid-back attitude can

That’ll mess your babies up.” One friend Burnett made from his many years at He’s Not Here is UNC basketball star Michael Jordan. Although Burnett said Jordan never worked at He’s Not Here, he often came as a student. He also visited the bar two years ago to guest bartend. “He came up to me and he reached over the bar and grabbed my stomach,” Burnett said. “He said, ‘Mark, you’ve got a basketball in there.’” Burnett said He’s Not Here, contrary

Student government recently kicked off a new peer advising program, which lets students receive academic help from a group of fellow students. Starting this semester, students in some departments in the College of Arts and Sciences can sit down in a more informal setting with those advisers to get input on academic questions. “It’s a really cool idea to have people you can talk to who are your own age, who have gone through what you have gone through,” said junior Chris Carter, co-chairman of the academic affairs committee of student government, which oversees the program. “It’s someone who has been in your shoes, in your situation. It’s nice to have that there.” Peer advisers are ready to start advising now, he said. They are working with faculty members to develop skills and trying to promote the program. While advisers will not answer technical questions about subjects such as graduation requirements, they can help with questions regarding majors, graduate programs, research interests and nonacademic activities. Advisers will focus on assisting students in their own majors or departments. “Students can help each other understand the ins and outs of their departments, and how to get the most out of their experience,” said David Bevevino, student body vice president, who helped create the program last year. Thirteen students from eight departments of the College of Arts and Sciences are advising this semester. Student government members are working to put the peer advisers’ contact information on department Web sites. This year is a trial run, Carter said. Student government members said they hope to expand the program and get greater participation from other departments. The team of peer advisers was assembled in the spring after an application process and training. “We wanted to see people who had really dived into their departments,” Bevevino said. Junior communication studies major Cameron Wardell said he is excited to advise students because he is interested in working in higher education. He said he hopes being a mentor for students will prepare him. “I hope that I can help students become very excited and motivated about what they’re studying,” he said. He said the advising program will be a good way for students to receive guidance outside a formal advising setting. Student government proposed

Second mayoral candidate signs on for public money Sept. 2: Last Tuesday, Chapel Hill mayoral candidate Kevin Wolff became the second candidate for that position to file for voter-owned elections and the third in Chapel Hill. The voter-owned election program provides matching funds from the town for candidates that can show they have enough community support. Wolff said he decided to join the program to keep his options open, though he still has reservations. “There should be a requirement to
show financial need,” Wolff said. “Ability to show support in the community is not as important as need.” If elected, he said he would not support the program as it is, but would instead try to add different requirements. “I’d rather see the program go to those in need rather than generally,” Wolff said. “You see that many government programs are based on this.” Read more about local elections at www.dailytarheel. com/orange-ballot.

Sept. 2: I don’t mean to step on the Party Czar’s blogging toes or sound too much like a parent, but please. The D.T.G.S. party was not what I wanted to see on Facebook. Actually, it’s the party formerly known as D.T.G.S. — Dressed To Get Screwed. Oh dear. The party formerly known as D.T.G.S. falls early in the semester, a time when some students don’t even know where the Undergrad Library is, much less what can happen if they drink too much beer. So I spoke with someone who planned to attend the D.T.G.S. party. This person, who has taken a women’s studies course, said the Chapel Hill party theme was completely different and politically correct, because D.T.G.S. was equal opportunity for all genders. Great. All of a sudden I’m longing for toga parties, or maybe “Thomas the

I still don’t think a D.T.G.S. theme is appropriate, and I especially think that those who are applying for internships and jobs should be careful about having such a party on their Facebook page. And I do think that irreverent party themes designed to offend have consequences, and they often signal parties that can get out of control.

Song of the week: ‘Technicolor Electric’ Sept. 2: Roaring out of the gate last year with a tight, five-song blast of sugary sweet, yet hard-hitting, retro-flavored pop punk, Chapel Hill’s Violet Vector and the Lovely Lovelies, who play Local 506 on Saturday, returned this year with the aptly named EP II. That new release keeps all the undeniable spunk and frothiness of the band’s earlier work while delving into more robust sonic textures and lyrics that acknowledge the darker side while still pummeling it into submission with an atomic blast of happiness. “Technicolor Electric” is the best example of this. Taking a sexy ride through psych rock, lead singer Amanda Brooks determinedly tries to write off her problems with charmingly colorful visions before the band rips into a transcendent instrumental that starts off sensual and dangerous before spiraling upwards into a hard rocking ‘60s rave up. It’s a great song made even better by the fact you can get it here for free. Listen to “Technicolor Electric” online at www.dailytarheel.com/dive.

Weekend sports bring business to town Football, basketball draw a crowd by Sarah Morayati SENIOR writer
Saturday’s football game against The Citadel was a win not only for UNC, but for many local businesses too. Despite the slowed economy, when the tides of Carolina blueclad spectators rushed to and from Kenan Stadium for the first game of the season, they visited Franklin Street stores and restaurants at a higher rate than in years past. “The crowds were really decent,” said Matthew Clements, the manager of Carolina Brewery. “You could certainly tell that there were a lot of people in town who weren’t the season ticket holders.” Clements said his restaurant saw a steady stream of customers, more than past years would suggest. Football season, while not as busy as basketball season, is still crucial for businesses on Franklin Street because of the tens of thousands of visitors coming after a
summer slump. “It’s a very different crowd,” said Katrina Ryan, the owner of the Franklin Street bakery Sugarland. “We see a lot more people who aren’t students.” Among them was Todd Ashe, a UNC alumnus, who went to the game this weekend with his two sons. He’s attended football games at the University for years and said this year’s crowd was much stronger, both in the stadium and on Franklin Street afterward. “It was pretty nuts in some of the stores,” he said. The high expectations for this year’s football team undoubtedly drew some of the new visitors, Clements said. Another boost to business was UNC’s 100th anniversary alumni basketball game Friday night, which drew more than 21,000 visitors. “If they could have that every year, it would be great for business,” Clements said.

Burnett has also seen the madness of four national championship victories from his bar, as well as the final night before the legal drinking age was changed from 18 to 21. “People went out as hard as they could go,” he said. But after everything, Landry said Burnett is one of the most trustworthy bartenders in Chapel Hill. “He puts his family first and his customers second,” he said. Burnett said he plans to continue doing so, staying in Chapel Hill and working at He’s Not Here. “I don’t see why I wouldn’t,” he said. “Everybody likes beer.” dth/Andrew dye

But some businesses thought turnout could have been better than it was. Steve Torchio, the manager of Top of the Hill, said business was slower than they expected on Saturday, although Friday night and Sunday were good. He said that because Saturday’s match was neither an ACC game nor nationally televised, it did not draw the large crowds that other games might. The 6 p.m. game time also curbed business because it cut into dinner hours. Business owners said the best time for a game is 3:30 pm. — visitors can come to Franklin Street for lunch and dinner. Even so, the weekend’s turnout suggested a robust crowd for the rest of the season, especially for high-profile games like the Sept. 19 match against East Carolina, business owners said. “It’s a great sign for the future and for the rest of the season,” Clements said.

Sugarland cake’s Rameses moons UNC rivals

The Daily Tar Heel
The owners of Sugarland bakery reached into their arsenal of sugar and cake this weekend to raise excitement and support for the football team. They hope that what they came up with — an enormous “mooncake” — becomes a local tradition. Katrina and Doc Ryan, co-owners of the bakery at 140 E. Franklin St., debuted their elaborate confection in their display window this weekend. Many fans took pictures of the cake, which depicts UNC fans mooning rivals, in the window throughout the weekend, he said. “We were mobbed all weekend,” Doc Ryan said. “There were people perpetually in front of the window looking at the cake.” The cake, which the owners said could feed 50 people, featured Rameses driving a Carolina blue Volkswagen Beetle. The other 11 ACC mascots are
left in the dust as three students moon them from the car. Each week Sugarland will display the cake with the opposing team’s mascot chasing the Beetle, Doc Ryan said. UNC student Stephanie Lambeth said that while the cake’s craftsmanship was impressive, the nudity took away from it. “We’re mooning mascots. We’re not that pathetic,” she said. Katrina Ryan said the cake has $700 worth of sugary decorations on it, and to buy it would cost at least that much. Five chefs spent two weeks and a total of 56 hours piping, sculpting and modeling the cake, she said. The figurines are made of a combination of fondant and gum pastes, ingredients similar to what is in marshmallows. “It takes longer to make a marshmallow look like a person than a cartoon,” she said. “Bringing the little marshmallows to life is the most challenging part.”
The staff used pretzels and wires to support the mascots. “The figurines require a very distinct talent,” she said. “It’s absolutely art. There’s little cooking to it.” The cake is completely sugar and not meant to be eaten. If traditional cake were on the inside, it couldn’t be displayed in the window because it would melt, Katrina Ryan said. The cake is also designed to draw the attention of the Tar Heels’ opposing fans while displaying their mascots respectfully, Doc Ryan said. “We wanted to create something the other team could enjoy, too,” he said. And if the Tar Heels reach the Orange Bowl, Katrina Ryan said another special cake can be expected. “We’ll invite everyone in to eat it,” she said. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

But officials said the rising number of financial aid applicants — and the closer reading of the budget — forced them to change course. “This is the only option we have this year,” Carney said. “Our chief worry is to make sure that we continue to have adequate funding for aid to students, and it’s harder to meet the rising need.”

Junior Taylor Beckham, a classical civilizations major, guides a tour group of prospective students and parents around UNC on Friday. As the University struggles with 10 percent budget cuts, it has been forced to explore alternative ways of continuing academic and administrative services. Ryan Morgan, president of the Out-of-State Student Association, e xpressed concern that the University’s tuition policies would not be fair for non-resident students and ultimately hurt the University. “Clearly the best students at UNC are out-of-staters,” Morgan said. “Any increase is likely to harm out-
of-staters, and we of course want to have a voice in this discussion.” Even with potential non-resident increases, the University maintains competitive tuition rates compared to peer schools, Carney said. “It’s important for the community to get together to determine what’s fair in this policy,” he said. “It’ll be a modest increase, I’m sure, but I couldn’t say. I’m new at this.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
Local performing arts reduce student prices Diverse seasons offer variety of artists By Jenn Kim Staff Writer
Several theater and performance groups on and around campus are hoping to attract students to their shows though discounted and free ticket packages. Carolina Performing Arts, PlayMakers Repertory Company, Lab! Theatre and Duke Performances offer an array of discounts through single ticket prices and package deals. “Having discounts for students is something we feel is important,” said Connie Mahan, director of marketing and press for PlayMakers. “The group has sold more tickets this year than at the same time last year.” PlayMakers receives funding

The board worked with the admissions office to help recruit about 150 admitted students. Michael Kennedy, the board’s chairman, said the members are able to pay their own travel expenses. “The budget cuts are not going to affect out-of-state admissions much for what the Board of Visitors is doing,” Kennedy said. “We’re contacting kids on our own time.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

from student fees, but that does not go toward offsetting the cost of discounted student tickets, Mahan said. This season, the performance groups cater to many different interests with a diversity of artists. One of the highest-profile acts will be Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, who are famed for bringing Indian style into Western music. They will perform in October as part of the Carolina Performing Arts season. CPA has an overall global theme for the year but still includes the traditional Nutcracker show in December. Lab! shows are free to students and community members. The group has two shows every semester.
“We choose to have free shows to enrich the community. We want to provide an experience that people don’t experience otherwise,” said Lab! producer Sarah Berk. PlayMakers offers full stage shows and smaller shows as part of the PRC2 series. Duke Performances offer discounts to all area college students with valid student identification. The box office has sold more than 100 preseason college discounted tickets this year, said Ken Rumble, director of marketing. “Ticket sales across the board have gone up significantly. Last fall the economic situation was more recent, where as now people are adjusting to that to some degree,” he said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) Military observers, soldiers — on the ground and some top Pentagon officials are warning that dispatching tens of thousands more soldiers and Marines to Afghanistan might not ensure success. Some even fear that deploying more U.S. troops, especially in the wake of a U.S. airstrike last week that killed and wounded scores of Afghan civilians, would convince more Afghans that the Americans are occupiers and relieve the pressure on the Afghan government to improve its own security forces.
one percentage point away from the needed threshold. The Afghan election has been marred by allegations of widespread election fraud. A separate election commission is reviewing some 600 high-profile allegations of fraud. The election is being closely monitored by U.S officials while President Barack Obama in Washington reviews Pentagon requests to increase the number of combat troops in Afghanistan. Election officials also threw out the ballots from 447 polling places because they couldn’t guarantee their accuracy.
Public option part Duncan: Students US and Pakistan should go to class tensions rising of health reform WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — White House officials offered carefully drawn statements Sunday describing how far the president would go in pushing for a so-called “public option” alternative to private insurance in his health care overhaul initiative. Initially, Obama backed the public option as an essential part of his plan. Since mid-August, the administration has left open the possibility of a compromise that might include something other than a government-run insurance plan. Options include nonprofit health insurance cooperatives or a trigger mechanism.
SAN FRANCISCO (MCT) — With President Barack Obama under heavy criticism for a plan to address the nation’s schoolchildren, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Sunday that keeping children out of classes because of the speech is “just silly.” Duncan attempted to allay concerns that opponents to the speech have raised, including claims that Obama is trying to influence schoolchildren with what conservatives have called his “socialist” agenda. Obama is expected to deliver a live televised speech at a Virginia high school Tuesday.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (MCT) — For weeks now, the Pakistani media have portrayed America, its military and defense contractors in the darkest of lights, all part of an apparent campaign of anti-American vilification that is sweeping the country. Pakistanis are reacting to what many see as an “imperial” American presence, echoing Iraq and Afghanistan, with Washington dictating to the Pakistani military and the government. Polls show that Pakistanis regard the U.S., formally a close ally and the country’s biggest donor, as a hostile power.

The act chronicles a woman’s journey through the mental health system. A similar series, PlayMakers Repertory Company’s PRC2, also offers some well-known performances in an informal setting. “The plays are meant to try our experimental acts, which can be controversial,” said Stephen Akin, box office manager for PlayMakers. “Every show has a post discussion with panelists from different areas of the University.” The first performance of the fall series is The Last Cargo Cult by Mike Daisey, opening Sept. 16. All the PRC2 artists have some national fame, but usually only in a certain niche, he said. “For example, Mike Daisey is a famous national performer; he is big in New York City but not a lot of people know about him here,”
Akin said. These performances are presented in the Kenan Theatre, a smaller space than PlayMakers’ usual venue, and run for one week. Both series offer audiences a chance to see high-quality performances with a different setting. “We are looking at trying to do more and more performances outside the traditional setting. These are most likely artists you’ve never seen before,” Kang said. “Many students come to Carolina and this becomes their window, their springboard to everything else. If something that you’ve experienced on this campus gets you to do that extra bit of research, homework, exploration, then we’ve done our job.” Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.

Varsity is integral to UNC experience
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Give the ASG a chance to prove its value to UNC
T
he first Saturday night of my freshman year, my friends and I consulted the maps we’d gotten at C-TOPS and made the long trek up to Franklin Street to see “Superbad.” Before I’d lofted my bed or memorized my PID or figured out that the last three words of the fight song weren’t “Rah, rah, rah,” I’d already had my first real Carolina experience: going to the Varsity Theater. The Varsity — which closed this summer after more than 80 years of Carolina students showing up late and talking through the previews — was an icon. It wasn’t very flashy, with its two screens and glass-framed concession stand, but it was as much of a Tar Heel tradition as hating Coach K. Its position on Franklin Street made it a landmark. It was on the way to the P2P stop, not to mention Pepper’s Pizza, and every Friday night, hordes of students clustered around the box office. Over the past two years, I saw more than a dozen movies at the Varsity. I went to see “Juno” with my friends and “Moving Midway” with my political science class. Last Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend and I joined about 80 other couples “aww”-ing over “Slumdog Millionaire.” Watching films there always had a very “Carolina” feeling; it was always at least half-filled with students. To me, it was as much of a campus theater as the Carolina Union Activities Board movies at the Student Union, with the added advantage that people usually didn’t yell out “that’s what she said” every four minutes. It was also convenient. Now, if I want to go see the latest blockbuster, I have to choose between driving to Southpoint to sit in an audience with every preteen in Durham or threading my way through one-way streets to the Lumina, which will have inevitably sold the last ticket to the yuppie couple in front of me. But apparently, plans are in the works to save the Varsity from the wrecking ball. Community members have come up with ideas to remake the space into an arts center kind of like the one in Carrboro. It would take a while to do, of course. These days, few people have the money to go out and see films (case in point), let alone shell out for a fundraiser. But I bet it could be done. Some support from the University wouldn’t hurt, either. I know we’re also short on funds, but maybe they could donate a few pennies from the revenue off the nonreturnable course packs I just bought — or scrimp a little on lighting Kenan Stadium like a Christmas tree the nights we don’t have games. Kidding, kind of. In any case, I believe a Varsity Extreme Makeover could happen (maybe we could just call those people from ABC and have them fly us to Disneyworld for the duration of the construction) and that a community art center would be an asset to everyone at Carolina. Well, almost everyone. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for independent films — that is, pretending I’ve watched them so I can sound cool at parties — but I’ll still miss the Varsity. It was a Franklin Street icon, a mainstay of my social life at Carolina — and I don’t think I’m the only one who feels that way. I’m looking forward to what renovations could bring, but until then, on weekends, you can catch me begrudgingly sitting through the CUAB Union shows — which sometimes make for a long night. That’s what she said.
Take H1N1 seriously The virus is here on campus, but with several small lifestyle changes we can help prevent its spread
A
s the H1N1 virus sweeps through college campuses across the country, students must remember to take the virus seriously. This is not to imply most of us aren’t … though we have heard our fair share of “swine flu” jokes across campus. But by staying aware and making small changes in our day-to-day routine, we can try to live in a healthier environment. Campus Health Services administrators have done their part, disseminating information and getting students the help they need. Now it’s up to everybody on campus to follow through with these small lifestyle changes — not sharing drinks and washing hands more often — to avoid catching the virus. Many students argue that symptoms are not as severe
and life-threatening as the media “hype” has made them out to be. That hype aside, the H1N1 virus is here on campus and is causing many of us to fall ill. Also, we must all remember staying healthy doesn’t just affect ourselves, but others around us as well. We walk to class side by side with classmates and faculty more susceptible to the virus — individuals with asthma or those in high risk age groups. And on a campus with students living, working and partying in close proximity, it’s easier for H1N1 to spread. Closely monitoring our own health and following the advice of campus health administrators is essential to keeping our campus healthy and going strong. H1N1 is more of a threat
than the seasonal influenza because there is not currently a vaccine available. The H1N1 virus can live on regular surfaces for up to eight hours, so use hand sanitizer and avoid touching your face. Keep a thermometer handy to check your temperature if you are feeling sick. And for those who use a laptop to take notes, make sure to keep the keyboard clean. Stopping the virus in its path might seem like an impossible feat. But by making a few changes to our daily routine and being aware that the H1N1 virus is a real threat, we can help slow its impact here on campus.

Stop forcing UNC employees to shoulder so much of the burden from budget cuts
he University and the state have asked our employees to sacrifice too much. There’s been a mandatory two-hour workday cut on Oct. 22 for a football game, a 0.5 percent reduction in salary, a 10-hour furlough and now a decrease in employee course waivers from three classes to eight credit hours. The budget crisis requires sacrifices from everybody, but too much is being asked of a group that has little say in the budget decisions of Gov. Bev Perdue. They seem to be the first group hung out to dry when it comes time to make more cuts. University officials recently
slashed course waivers — which allow employees to take classes for free — to eight course credits a year from the original three classes. The estimated savings is $700,000. But University officials haven’t made clear where this $700,000 figure comes from. Employees can only take classes in sections that aren’t full. Thus, the course waivers are not displacing tuition-paying students, so it seems that no revenue is actually being lost by allowing employees to take classes. Of course, this is only the latest in a string of cuts at the expense of University employees. In April, Perdue issued an executive order effectively
requiring state employees to take 10 hours of unpaid leave. These workers are not in the private sector. They cannot petition their supervisor or have their union write a letter to the CEO. Their only recourse is a direct appeal to the state legislature, which seemingly has much bigger things to concern itself with than the plight of UNC employees. Granted, cuts are necessary when budgets are in the red. But officials should focus on making cuts that incur the least harm on the smallest number of people. Slashing course waivers to save a supposed $700,000 after cutting salaries and demanding furloughs is simply adding insult to injury.
Lending a hand Microloan program for homeless should be expanded The Community Empowerment Fund, a collaborative effort by three campus organizations, has found success in reaching out to Chapel Hill’s homeless. This microloan program, which gives participating homeless people $300 to pursue skill workshops, should be expanded and should also include outreach for applicants who aren’t approved for loans. Those who apply should all be granted access to the resources made available in the program, specifically by pairing homeless participants with student advisers regardless of whether they receive one of the loans. Borrowers were first selected over the summer through the
CEF’s pilot program . The borrowers, in addition to receiving loans from an undergraduate research grant, opened savings accounts and got paired up with student volunteers who have served as their loan officers . In accepting the loans, the participants have to attend financial literacy trainings and weekly meetings where they connect with their loan officers and other participants and also make repayments on their loans. The one component of the program that forces it to be selective is the loan itself. While research grant money should not be handed out in the form of a loan to anyone who applies for it, there are ways the CEF can help those
who are not approved. Instead of turning applicants away altogether, the program could use its volunteers to expand its finance workshops or it could pair participants with student advisers, but without the microloan component. Even though these volunteer advisers would not be checking up on a participant’s loan, they could still assist them in opening savings accounts and applying for jobs. We are glad to see that UNC students are working hard to curb homelessness in Chapel Hill and hope to see the Community Empowerment Fund expand to assist those who do not qualify for its microloan.
TO THE EDITOR: The Association of Student Governments is an important organization for UNC-Chapel Hill to be a part of. It is one of the ways in which all 17 UNC-system campuses can come together to discuss issues and ideas that each campus is facing throughout the year. This organization has been working to regain structure and involvement after years of lack of participation from many campuses. I completely understand the concern with the administrative costs that students may have, but before we judge, we must ask the executive officers what their job consists of and assess if the labor is worth the cost. I believe that we must give this organization a chance to show how it can serve the state of North Carolina, now that it has full participation from all schools. From my experience, I am excited about working with other schools to improve their campuses dealing with safety, administrators, and student participation and in return, they will share their innovative ideas with us. I want to urge us to remain critical of the organization, so that we can be accountable to this campus. But I also want us to give ASG a chance to prove that it can improve the lives of students through advocacy work with General Administration and the Board of Governors and bringing all UNC-system campuses together. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was one of the first schools to start this organization and we have the most participants working for it now. Therefore, there must be some good potential that this organization has and we need to give it time to legitimize itself during its second year of strong leadership and stability.

Letter misrepresented the idea of ‘positive rights’ TO THE EDITOR: In his recent letter to the editor (“Rep. Price’s views differ from Founding Fathers’,” Sept. 4), James A. Wadsworth makes a number of preposterous assertions. First of all, he criticizes U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C., not for his views on health care, but rather for supporting the idea of positive rights in the first place. Wadsworth believes that somehow this isn’t in keeping with the ideals of the holy Founding Fathers. On the contrary, one needs only look as far as the United States Constitution to find positive rights. For example, T he Sixth Amendment guarantees, among other things, the right to a speedy trial. This necessarily compels the people involved in a trial to act hastily in order to provide the defendant with his or her constitutional right. The Sixth Amendment even “enslaves” citizens to show up as part of a grand jury. Anyone can see, by merely skimming our founding documents, that positive rights play an

integral role in the United States. If you don’t like positive rights, fine. But it’s silly to imply that they’re un-American. Wadsworth doesn’t stop there, though. He goes on to say that David Price’s views on rights are “wrong” and “dangerous”. Seriously? I don’t know if he really believes that, or if he was just using a rhetorical device to make Price seem like a scary communist, but either way it’s irresponsible. Wadsworth needs to check his facts better and temper his language to reflect reality rather than fantasy. Pete Miller Senior Political Science, Religious Studies
Fewer TAs in classroom hurts quality of teaching TO THE EDITOR: I have read the article “Fewer teaching assistants hired” in The Daily Tar Heel (Sept. 5), and I am disappointed. The fact that UNC departments have to hire fewer teaching assistants is an alarming sign for graduate students who can only afford to do their research because they are offered the positions of teaching assistants. For some students the cuts would mean financial and, thus, academic bankruptcy. It is also an acknowledgement of failure on an educational level. First, in many departments graduate teaching assistants are fundamental for the qualitative education of undergraduates. If the trend to consolidate classes into fewer sections and to hire fewer and fewer teaching assistants continues, the great undergraduate education UNC generally offers, will certainly suffer. Second, for the education and training of graduate students the experience of teaching is indispensable to their potential to find a job. The likelihood of finding a good job without enough thorough teaching experience is limited. As a result, the data of how good UNC is in placing its Ph.D. students will look less promising.

University to ponder Campus group considers $85 in fee increases computer gifts to Ghana BY Seth Leonard

Student fee increases
University Editor
In the next few weeks, the University will consider increasing students’ annual bills by more than $80 through student fees. That includes a $22 hike in the cost of student health services and an $18.25 increase to help pay the school’s dining debt. Student fees, various charges tacked on to tuition bills that help support a wide variety of student and academic services, currently cost students about $1,760. The student fee advisory subcommittee, a group of student leaders and administrators, laid out the schedule for the year’s fee discussions at a meeting Friday. During the next five weeks, the student fee audit committee, a student government group, will seek input on the fee increases. The advisory subcommittee will consider their input and then make official recommendations. While these two groups conduct the majority of fee talks, fees are at the whim of the Board of Trustees, the UNC-system Board of Governors and the N.C. General Assembly. Any level can completely change a recommendation. Administrators stressed that in a tight budget year all their work could be overturned if a higher level wants to go in a different direction. “It’s unusual, but it has happened before,” said Roger Patterson, associate vice chancellor for finance.
During the next month, the student fee audit committee will meet to discuss potential fee increases for next year. They will make recommendations to the student fee advisory subcommittee of the tuition and fee advisory task force. In total, the University is recommending an $85.90 increase, which would bring the total amount students pay in fees to $1,846.31. Students are encouraged to attend meetings of the student fee audit committee to voice their opinions on the increases.

Outer Banks tourists spending less money Hotels popular, rentals less so
Rental homes less popular in Outer Banks In the last two years, the popularity of rental homes has decreased as the popularity of hotels and motels has increased, although rental homes still host more occupants than hotels. 12% +10.82% 10 8 6 4 2 0 2008-2009 2007-2008 -2 -4 -6 -8 -9.38% -10 -12% Hotels/motels Rental homes
By Zach Daniel White Sophomore Lauren Hollowell knows to expect traffic down the Outer Banks’ Route 12 at the start of summer, as tourists from across the state and the country pour into the strip of beaches along North Carolina’s coast. “You usually start to notice around Memorial Day that rental prices go up and there is an increase in traffic,” said Hollowell, who has lived in Kitty Hawk her whole life. “It gets to the point that you don’t really go out Saturday and Sundays.” But this typical picture, Hollowell said, was not the case this year. Though the total number of visitors didn’t change much, they came later in the season and spent less money, according to the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. The Outer Banks, one of the biggest tourism money generators in North Carolina, was hit by the current economic situation. Aaron Tuell, director of public relations for the visitors bureau, said it is the first true test on how the economic strain will affect tourism in the state. So far, many industries throughout the coast have seen losses in revenue. Many places are giving large discounts to travelers, and many tourists are looking for the free attractions the beaches offer, like Jockey’s Ridge State Park or public access beaches. “People have adjusted their budgets to allow for travel if they can afford it,” Tuell said. “They are just looking for more

frugal ways to do it.” Beach rentals, which make up 80 percent of the region’s lodging revenue, were especially hard hit. According to the visitors bureau, rental homes on the coast have seen more than a 9 percent revenue drop so far this year. However, the hotel industry, which gives tourists opportunities for shorter and more last-minute vacations, has watched its numbers go up more than 10 percent this year. Another thing that people have cut back is going out to eat. The food industry in the Outer Banks has faced back-to-back years of decreases in total revenue. Hollowell said that the restaurant where she worked had a major drop in its number of customers. “Elizabeth’s Cafe and Winery started offering more wines from the cellar that our proprietor didn’t think we could sell as a bottle. They started offering them by the glass to get rid of them,” Hollowell said. Junior Madison Ambrose also

said she noticed the crunch while returning to her home in Kill Devil Hills to look for summer work. “The competition for serving jobs at restaurants was really intense,” she said. “Because of the competition, the restaurants were looking for more experience.” Ambrose ended up settling for a hostess job that paid a smaller salary after struggling to find a serving job. Tuell said the Outer Banks spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on online advertising during the summer to ease economic pressures. They have added new television commercial campaigns, newspaper advertisements and digital advertisements throughout the northeastern part of the U.S. — even reaching the Jumbotron on the New York Times’ building. “We are really trying to market hard,” he said.
The student group Technology Without Borders is discussing the feasibility of upcoming projects, including a massive service mission targeting Ghana. The group, formerly known as Fight Against the Digital Divide, works locally to improve computer literacy and provide equipment to people. Now the group is considering expanding its efforts overseas. Initially, Technology Without Borders provided free training in computer and software use to UNC staff. Now it refurbishes old computers and laptops, updates them with new software and donates them to less fortunate middle school students. Some of their efforts are in concert with the Kramden Institute Inc., a nonprofit group based in Durham. Kramden specializes in putting computers in the hands of middle school students who have shown academic diligence. While many student groups
stress giving time and effort to distant needy communities, members of Technology Without Borders realize that there is a need for their services in the Triangle. “There are so many digital divide issues right here in our own fortunate community that get overlooked,” said Shaddi Hasan, a leader in the group. “It’s not just IT anymore.”
Act local, think global In an effort to branch out and have an international impact, the group plans to travel to Ghana and construct an Internet network. The idea is to connect rural villages with no Web access and few resources to larger cities in order to build i-clinics to help with medical questions. Through a streaming interface, less-skilled village clinicians can consult quickly with doctors in major metro areas or even with doctors in the United States. With limited resources in the target area, the project is likely to
encounter obstacles. “For the whole west coast of Africa, there is only one Internet line, one connection to the outside world,” said Calvin Young, one of the group leaders who headed up the project discussion last week. The first step is for the group to help construct a software tool that will allow them to build a virtual model of the towers, servers and routers needed to set up the network across a realistic topographical surface. Group members said such digital imaging will save considerable time and effort. Volunteers will work with a computer science class, which will create the tool as part of the curriculum. The project is not set in stone, but it is slated for summer 2010. Anyone interested in donating skills and time to the effort can attend the group’s next meeting Thursday at 5 p.m. at the Campus Y, Room 207. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
Virgins not alone at UNC BY Rachel Scall STAFF WRITER
John Eskridge is a virgin — and he doesn’t care who knows. A UNC sophomore from Morganton, Eskridge said he based his decision not to have sex on his strong Christian faith. “God created sex as a beautiful thing between a man and a woman in marriage,” Eskridge said. According to a survey conducted by Campus Health Services, Eskridge is not alone. Approximately 77 percent of students at UNC have had zero or one sexual partners in the past 12 months. The survey, started in fall of 2008 and concluded in February 2009, also found that approximately 38 percent of students at UNC have never had sex. “There is a misperception of the number of people students are having sex with,” said Sara Stahlman, a health educator at Campus Health Services. Although the Campus Health Services survey only had an 11.5 percent response rate, Stahlman said the survey, which accounts for both UNC undergraduate and graduate students, is still an accurate reflection of the sexual atmosphere on campus.
“The hookup culture doesn’t really exist,” Stahlman said. And for the nearly 40 percent of students who have never had sex, not all said they base their decision on religious beliefs. “I’m waiting for the right person,” senior Marissa Spruiell said. “It is going to involve a lot of emotions for me.” One benefit of waiting is never having to worry about pregnancy scares, Spruiell said. And while she said she has never personally seen a downside to being a virgin, she said her friends who are also virgins have encountered relationship problems. Eskridge, however, said he cannot think of a downside to waiting to have sex. “Sex would be a fun thing,” he said, noting that he chooses to put his faith above sex and other actions he considers temptations, such as cursing, drinking and judging others. Despite their individual decisions to hold on to virginity, the two recognize that they are susceptible to the stereotype that college students are promiscuous. “I guess sex is just something that comes naturally with relationships at our age,” Spruiell said.
When the topic of sex is mentioned in conversation, neither Spruiell nor Eskridge is shy to admit to virginity. For Eskridge, talking about his decision is a chance to explain to others the benefits of waiting. “I want them to know that there is an opportunity to change,” he said. “There is an opportunity to gain something much deeper than sex.” Spruiell said she is not as eager to influence people’s decision to have sex. “It’s your decision to make,” she said. “No one ever told me to do this. It was just something that I decided.” Eskridge, Spruiell and others’ decisions to wait has serious health benefits, Stahlman said. “The lower students can keep their lifetime number of partners, the less their risk of getting an STI,” she said. And both Eskridge and Spruiell said the emotions involved in sex cannot be ignored. “I’m not embarrassed by my decision to be a virgin,” Eskridge said. “When you have sex with someone, you’re giving a big part of yourself to them.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.
UNC not seeking overseas campus By Nastassia Astrasheuskaya Staff Writer
The U.S. is leading the way in the establishment of international campuses that are extensions of American universities. A study done by The Observatory on Borderless Higher Education found that the U.S. has 78 international campuses, more than any other country. In the UNC system, N.C. State University has already established one international campus and is contemplating another. But UNC-Chapel Hill officials said they are taking a different tactic. Instead, they are actively networking with major universities in Asia and Europe to establish joint programs. NCSU is the only university in the UNC system with international satellite campuses. It has a design school in Prague and is considering building an entire campus in South Korea. Prague was chosen because it has historic landmarks that make Contact the Features Editor it one of the best places in the at features@unc.edu. world to study architecture and
design, said Mick Kulikowski, NCSU assistant director for news. And if the project in South Korea, paid for by the South Korean government, is approved, a facility will be built in Songdo region, near Seoul. The NCSU Board of Trustees will make the final approval decision in February 2010. In the early 2000s, UNC-CH considered opening a satellite campus in Qatar as a women’s university. However, University officials changed their minds, said Peter Coclanis, associate provost for international affairs at UNC-CH. The University officials decided that they preferred to work with foreign universities and complement each other to enhance progress in research, Coclanis said. “Building a satellite campus would not be a wise use of the scarce resources we have,” Coclanis said. He said working with other major universities is a better strategy because they are not duplicating what they already have in
Chapel Hill on a different piece of land. “ Those are mainly private schools that do it, but we are a state institution and we primarily serve people of the state,” he said. UNC-CH currently works with several universities around the world. The University’s major partners are National University of Singapore, King’s College London and Tsinghua University in Beijing. UNC and those universities work in tandem in teaching and research and have joint workshops and conferences. Universities become closer and more integrated through programs like these, which enhances knowledge of students around the world, Coclanis said. “We chose a more conservative and less risky, but we hope more effective, route,” Coclanis said. “We are certainly internationalizing.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

as the banner they earned was dropped. “We had 22,000 people, and we had MJ back, and all this stuff, I think it’s a beautiful thing,” May, who led UNC to the 2005 national championship, said. “And it says a lot about this University and what basketball means to them.” Current coach Roy Williams, — who for once spent the evening in the stands instead of coaching on the bench — was also notably impressed by the event. “In my opinion, there’s no place in the country that could have done what we just did. I mean, it was 21,750 people, and every NBA player that was eligible to play. … It was a wonderful night, and I was fortunate to be a part of it. ”

line of scrimmage, which created a huge discrepancy in the ground game. UNC tallied 261 rushing yards while the Bulldogs managed just 30 on 20 carries. North Carolina continued to feature the two-headed rushing attack that emerged a season ago. Ryan Houston pounded in touchdowns of five and three yards, while starting tailback Shaun Draughn tallied 118 yards. “I had my adrenaline going, really trying to break a long one at the beginning,” Draughn said. “So I had to calm myself down, and I had to think of the things I did good in practice and the preseason and go back to that.” It wasn’t just The Citadel’s ground attack that never got going. The Tar Heels stifled the Bulldogs’ first 12 drives and forced four turnovers. Even when a Tar Heel turnover gave The Citadel great field position near the end of the first half, UNC responded.

Melanie Brill calmly converted to give the Tar Heels a 1-0 lead. Wake Forest, however, would not relent, forcing junior goalkeeper Jackie Kintzer into a series of quality saves before breaking through with a penalty stroke of its own to knot the score. But with just more than a minute to play in the first half, freshman Kelsey Kolojejchick ignited a Tar Heel fast break, taking a pass out of the back and weaving through several Wake Forest defenders in midfield before finding senior Illse Davids at the top left corner of the shooting circle. Davids then slapped a blistering

Former UNC players Danny Green (left) and Vince Carter goof off during a foul shot during UNC’s alumni game Friday night at the Smith Center. zone and tipped it to Williams, who kept his feet in bounds and prevented UNC from losing any momentum going into the locker room. “That was a phenomenal job right before the half,” Davis said. “I’m going to tell you, you talk about two guys that you can tell the evidence of growth and maturity — the play that Kendric Burney and Deunta Williams made … they really diagnosed it and read it well.” The pick was one of three UNC interceptions in a complete defensive performance. The unit, though, was most excited about being able to finally run at full speed. “I’ve just been waiting for my chance,” Williams said. “In training camp, we try not to hit our guys so much, so it was good to unleash on a couple guys today.” North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates also threw two first-half touchdowns, and junior Da’Norris Searcy returned a punt for a late 77-yard touchdown. The Tar Heels were not without error, though. The special teams unit muffed two punts, and UNC receivers began to pile up drops.
Davis said that the errors may have been a result of inexperience for some of the younger Tar Heels. “In talking to some of the kids in the locker room after the game, they were nervous,” he said. “There’s no getting around it. Josh Adams said, ‘Coach, I’ve got to be honest with you, I was nervous. I have never played in front of that many people with that much noise.’ “And I think as those guys gain some poise, and as they get in the games and stuff, I think some of that stuff will certainly go away.” Those errors didn’t prove costly on Saturday, and UNC took care of business in a game in which it was heavily favored. “There’s a lot of things we still need to work on, as an offense, defense, special teams and everything,” Yates said. “But just going out there, getting some points on the board, doing some good things on offense and defense, it’s really going to give us a lot of confidence in the next week.”
shot that found the back right netting for a 2-1 UNC advantage. After struggling to move the ball consistently throughout the first half, Kolojejchick and Davids’ combination marked the beginning of a string of fine midfield play that continued in the second half. “In the first half we were looking for the big play,” coach Karen Shelton said. “They were trying to thread the needle and it just wasn’t working. At some point in time you have to recognize that and say ‘OK, big ball’s not on, let’s make the twotouch combination passes that we’re so good at.’” Energized by the dynamic play of the midfield, the Tar Heels took control of the game in the second half,
stringing together crisp passes to set up numerous chances on net. Brill added her second goal of the game on a well-executed penalty corner, and forward Elizabeth Drazdowski capped the scoring, tucking a well-timed breakaway cross from Forword into the back of the cage to seal the 4-1 victory. While Forword believes the team still has plenty of room for improvement, the game atmosphere made this win a special one for the senior. “It’s loud, the atmosphere is magical and it’s just great,” Forword said. “These are the memories that you remember.”

It didn’t take long for two of North Carolina’s best players and best friends to fall right back into old habits. Less than five minutes into Friday’s alumni game, late 1990s teammates Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison had already combined to score all of the game’s points, and Carter was eyeing another 3-pointer. When his attempt fell short — potentially because of some contact from his old teammate — Carter chased Jamison back down the court aiming playful kicks at him. The two were at it all night — bumping in the post, calling for each other to play defense and trash-talking in between free throws. “We’re 32, 33 years old, and we’re acting like we’re kids out there, like it’s 12, 13 years ago,” Jamison said. “Just enjoying the moment, having fun.” While the professional alumni game featured a white team and a blue team (the white team won, 113-92), it was really the individual matchups and reunions that captured the crowd’s attention. That, and Carter’s gravity-defying dunks. Jamison dropped in 21 points for the white side, while Carter answered with 18 of his own and an aerial highlight reel. With just seconds remaining in the first half, the blue team’s Ty Lawson ripped a steal and led a three-on-zero break the other way. He dropped it off to Shammond Williams, who tossed the ball off the backboard for Carter to catch, windmill, and slam home with two hands, setting off the Smith Center crowd. “Shammond Williams, I thought, ‘My gosh, he’s throwing the basketball off the backboard, and he’s going to try and dunk it,’” said

Vince Carter (right) and Antawn Jamison were teammates while at UNC from 1995 to 1998 and went to back-to-back Final Fours in 1997 and 1998. coach Roy Williams, who watched from the scorers’ table. “But then I realized there’s a guy named Carter flying through the air behind him. That was pretty special.” Friday night provided answers to some questions North Carolina fans had been wondering about for years. What would happen if Raymond Felton and Ty Lawson guarded each other? Midway through the first half, Felton dribbled on the wing, then crossed over his defender and blew by for an easy layup. The very next possession, Lawson answered with the exact same move at Felton’s expense for a bucket of his own. The younger Lawson said he’s been learning from Felton. “He showed me a couple tricks that the vets do, you know, pulling your jersey, pulling your arm, and just stuff like that,” Lawson said.
“He just showed me a lot of things, told me to be ready for the rookie hazing.” There was a level of competition to the game — there were bragging rights at stake, of course — but ultimately it was a unique brand of an all-star game. Lots of stars, lots of scoring, lots of laughs — only both teams wore the same colors. “It brought back so many feelings and memories for me,” Carter said. “Walking in, just seeing the loyalty. “When you get into the professional life, the NBA, sometimes it’s up and down when you win or lose; sometimes the home town’s not behind you. But it’s die-hard here. They love Carolina basketball. They love what it’s about. I love what it’s about.”
been the first one. UNC linebacker Zach Brown chased down a screen and held Citadel wide receiver Andre Roberts to a three-yard gain, despite being out of the play initially. “In practice, we don’t tackle a lot of guys to the ground, but boy, do we fly to the football,” Davis said. “We wrap them up and thud them up, and we try to get 4, 5, 6 guys around the ball every single day in practice, and I think that was evident.” While the defensive line was only
able to drag Blanchard down for sacks twice, they were able to collapse the pocket and force him to throw the ball before he wanted to. “If we didn’t have guys back there capable of making plays on the ball, then we would have to go sack the quarterback every time,” Wilson said. “As long as we’re getting pressure in his face …, I think we’ll be okay.”

UNC transition Brown’s bicycle kick powers Tar Heels Creativity is a sinks Deacons staple for junior By Aaron Taube
Freshman midfielder Kelsey Kolojejchick dished out an assist and had three shots.
Staff Writer
What was most impressive was not the number of goals the Tar Heels scored in their 4-1 victory against Wake Forest on Friday, but the flair with which UNC found the back of the net. Throughout the game, the No. 4 Tar Heels exhibited a fast-paced transition offense that was both efficient and exciting. “It’s more entertaining and I think we can really set up on defense,” freshman midfielder Kelsey Kolojejchick said of the team’s offensive strategy. “They really don’t see it coming sometimes and we have the speed in our midfield and forwards that once we get the ball, we can just go with it.” Though No. 2 Wake Forest controlled possession early in the game, UNC was able to keep the pressure on the Demon Deacons by rapidly transitioning from defense to offense. “We talk about an intercept being instant offense,” UNC coach Karen Shelton said. “We have really good team speed, so we’re going to run and gun.” The counterattack started with the defense. Time and again, UNC defenders stole the ball from an opponent and looked upfield for streaking midfielders and forwards to attack the goal and finish. It was that final step that proved
problematic for UNC early in the game. “In the first half we were looking for the big play,” Shelton said. “What happens is they look long, and instead of making a simple pass and taking two passes to get to the same point, they want to do it in one.” However, the frenetic pace set by the UNC midfield eventually wore down the opposition. The Tar Heels took the lead for good on a late first-half goal from Illse Davids and controlled the game from there on out, out-shooting the Demon Deacons 10-3 in the second half. While the team’s run-and-gun style of play seemed to delight the record 1,231 fans who packed Henry Stadium on Friday, it’s also popular amongst the players themselves. “Our fast-paced style of game generally puts them under pressure and if eventually they can’t keep up, they’re gonna get tired,” senior Melanie Brill said after the game. “We love to run teams into the ground. It’s really fun.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

When Zach Loyd hurled a throw-in toward the Evansville box late in Sunday’s contest, Cameron Brown simply hoped it would land nearby. On the North Carolina sidelines, coach Elmar Bolowich watched as the ball did just that — but at an angle likely too low for a clean header. Bolowich figured the midfielder would settle the ball with his body and turn on goal. But Brown had other plans. As long as he’s been playing soccer, the junior had dreamed of performing a bicycle kick in a game. Brown had attempted one or two before in matches, but never quite like this. As Loyd’s loft descended into the Purple Aces’ 18-yard box, Brown threw his body into the air. Oddly enough, the throw didn’t create much of an aerial stir — as practically no Evansville players contested the ball. The lack of congestion allowed Brown to go fully parallel with the ground, raise his right leg over his head and boot the ball with authority toward the goal. “In midair I’m hoping I don’t miss the ball and look like a complete idiot,” Brown said. “When I hit it, I was hoping I had enough angle for the ball to go backpost. The ball kind of went down the hill, but the keeper was slightly over. I
to easy takeaways and counterattacks for the opposition. But on other occasions, like Sunday, he puts together a beautiful move or shot. The thing was, it wasn’t Brown’s only goal of the game. Much earlier during the first half, the junior settled on the left side of the field and struck a shot toward Evansville’s left corner. The near-post shot was from a lengthy distance, but Boerger was still not up to the task. Although Brown’s second goal — part of his first-ever multiple goal game — was unstoppable, this blast was much more reasonable. It, too, found the back of the net and gave the Tar Heels an early 1-0 lead. dth/Andrew DYe But when Brown looks back on Junior Cameron Brown (left) capped off a 4-0 victory against Evansville with a this weekend, his focus will likely be on the latter goal. goal.

Wideout Johnny White brings down the first touchdown of his career as well as the first of the game. The Tar Heels’ passing game struggled to get on track, as T.J. Yates went 9-20 for 114 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
UNC linemen start strong By Louie Horvath Assistant Sports Editor
North Carolina’s defensive line played so well on Saturday that it surpassed even its own ambitious goal. “We wanted to hold them to 1.8 yards per rush,” defensive end E.J. Wilson said. “We looked at who the No. 1 run-stopping defense in the country is, and we got 1.8, because that would make us the best run defense in the country.” The Citadel’s rushing stat line: 20 carries, 30 yards for 1.5 yards per carry. And passing didn’t work much better for the Bulldogs. Every time Citadel quarterback Bart Blanchard dropped back from his starting position in the shotgun, it seemed like Wilson,
Robert Quinn or another lineman was running toward him. “Those guys did an excellent job. They’re so deep on the defensive line that they don’t get tired,” said safety Deunta Williams, who grabbed two interceptions. “Our linebackers are feeling the benefit of it, and definitely pass coverage is feeling the benefit of it.” Through the first quarter, the Tar Heels held The Citadel offense to fewer than three yards on nine out of its 14 plays, and the defense continued rolling from there. The four turnovers were all products of the pressure the defensive line put on the quarterback. Wilson recovered the fumble after a Quinn sack, and Wilson hit Blanchard before he threw a lame duck pass right to Williams.
“We’ve got the ability to keep the heat on people because I think we could legitimately play as many as seven to nine different guys,” coach Butch Davis said. “Tonight the defensive ends got a lot of notoriety, but our defensive tackles were collapsing the pocket and forcing that quarterback to run for his life.” The two Citadel scoring drives, directly caused by muffed Tar Heel punts deep in its own territory, totaled only 19 yards before they settled for field goals, and on four separate occasions, Citadel punted after losing yards on a drive. “Our D-line was really the key factor tonight,” Williams said. “Them getting pressure and hold-

Dani Forword launches a shot during No. 4 North Carolina’s 4-1 defeat of No. 2 Wake Forest in Chapel Hill on Friday at Henry Stadium.
UNC grabs first ACC win against Deacons By Kevin Minogue Staff Writer
The North Carolina field hockey team took a page out of Dean Smith’s book Friday night against archrival and conference foe Wake Forest. The Tar Heels began reading the former UNC basketball coach’s autobiography “The Carolina Way” prior to the season. In the team’s first home game, it employed Smith’s patented offense-from-defense style of play to beat the Demon Deacons 4-1 in front of 1,231 fans at Henry Stadium, the largest field hockey crowd in UNC history. The team has been reading Smith’s book throughout the beginning of the season, but senior captain Danielle Forword said the section the Tar Heels read prior to Friday’s game truly resonated with the team. “This week what we read was one of (UNC basketball’s) mantras is pressure defense and fast-paced

offense, and that’s similar to what we do,” Forword said. “We like to defend from the back and as soon as we get the ball, fast counter-attack.” This strategy paid early dividends on Friday as Forword took advantage of a Wake Forest mistake to set up the Tar Heels’ first goal. Midway through the first half, with the score even at zero, Wake Forest defender Liza Casella attempted to make a routine clearance down the right flank. But Casella mishit the ball badly, rolling it weakly to the stick of a wide open Forword at the top of the shooting circle. Forword immediately drove to the net but was taken down from behind as she turned to shoot, meriting a penalty stroke, which senior

The North Carolina men’s soccer team ended the weekend in a fashion befitting of the nation’s top-ranked team. The No. 1 Tar Heels rebounded from Friday’s tie against Northern Illinois with a 4-0 win against Evansville on Sunday. The celebration that followed would be right at home in the postseason. With 5:13 remaining in the game, Cameron Brown delivered an 85th-minute bicycle kick 16 yards from the goal Sunday to seal the Carolina Nike Classic title. With teammates flanking him, Brown raced toward the corner flag with his arms in the air. “He tries things,” coach Elmar Bolowich said. “He fails and he capitalizes. You’ve seen how he plays. He takes his chances, and it was just one of them well taken.” The necessary fireworks were absent in the team’s first regular season game Friday, which ended with a 1-1 tie in double overtime. “I thought in the Friday game we dug ourselves into a hole,” Bolowich said. “We almost felt like it could be a loss coming out of a tie. “So the guys, they were challenged. We wanted to win the
It was a night to remember — literally. Friday evening at the Smith Center, North Carolina’s professional basketball alumni came home to pay homage to both themselves and the history they are all a part of. “I mean, anyone who played here, was a manager here, we all went through the same things,” former power forward and national player of the year in 1998 Antawn Jamison said. “You put on that jersey, you represent this University and this community the same way. And for me to be part of, is something that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.” Anyone who has watched UNC basketball during the last 16 years had a few flashback moments as the NBA alumni game opened a year-long celebration commemorating 100 years of basketball at North Carolina. “It’s a lot of things to soak in, 100 years,” Jamison said. “And I’m blessed and grateful to be a part of this, because I could have been playing 45, 50 years ago and missed this opportunity, but I had a great career here.” It was a roster of names that any program would be envious to have and reflective of the extensive history that comes with basketball at UNC. Try Vince Carter, Jamison, Jerry Stackhouse, Sean May, R a y m o n d Fe l t o n a n d Je f f McInnis — along with many other names from the annals of UNC basketball. And though the game itself was a large part of the show, the night also featured more than enough theatrics of production. There were two new video montages, one for the national championship season and one for 100 years of North Carolina basketball. There was a surprise appearance of legendary former coach Dean Smith, and beside him sat the other unlisted guest — Michael Jordan. Jordan’s presence carried some of its own weight, as his name joined the Smith Center banner listing UNC’s Naismith Hall of Fame inductees. The entire production took place in front of a sold-out crowd, as Jordan, Smith, all of the players in the game and all the other coaches and participants were honored before the game. To boot, the 2008-09 national championship team also took the floor to be honored and watch

tournament.” Bolowich specifically addressed the front four before the game — Brown and Michael Farfan among them. Farfan netted the only goal of Friday’s contest. “ We w a n t e d m o r e o u t o f them looking at Friday’s game,” Bolowich said. “There had to be a different kind of commitment towards intense play and taking opportunities.” “And that’s what they did. They delivered.” Brown delivered with two goals, while Farfan recorded one goal and one assist. Scoring against Evansville began with a 25-yard goal by Brown with 36 minutes remaining in the first half. The midfielder went near post with his shot, and the Evansville goalkeeper, Phil Boerger, was unable to block the shot. The Tar Heels entered halftime leading 1-0.
With 32:20 remaining in the second half, Enzo Martinez capitalized on a misplay by an Evansville defender and goalie. The pair were tangled, and Martinez was able to gather the loose ball. The freshman forward then easily slid a shot into the open net. Farfan added a goal off an assist from Alex Dixon with 23 minutes remaining before Brown capped off the four-goal differential necessary to clinch the title for the Tar Heels. “We were lacking intensity in the first game,” Farfan said. “We needed four goals and we did what we needed to win. That’s all they asked of us.” UNC’s defense only allowed Evansville four shots, one of which was on goal. But the focus, Bolowich said, was regrouping intensity on both ends of the field. On Sunday, they did just that. “We need to start scoring more, that’s for sure,” Farfan said. “ACCs are starting up and that should be a good motivator.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.
