Carolina Ballet dancer Elena Shapiro was killed Friday evening when her car was rear-ended in Raleigh by UNC assistant professor Raymond Cook, who was driving drunk. Cook, who has subsequently been suspended from his work based at WakeMed, was charged with death by motor vehicle, driving under the influence, failure to reduce speed and careless and reckless driving. Shapiro was driving on Strickland Road in Raleigh at about 8:35 p.m. when her Hyundai was
hit by Cook’s Mercedes Benz, which was traveling about 85 mph. Cook, 40, is an assistant professor of head and neck surgery at UNC, where he earned $288,577 for the 2008-09 school year. He was contracted to work at WakeMed. He graduated from UNC’s School of Medicine with honors in 1997 and completed his residency in head and neck surgery at Duke University Medical Center in 2002. He began working for UNC in 2003. A spokesperson from WakeMed said Cook has been suspended pending further investigation, meaning he will not be permitted

Shapiro, 20, grew up in WinstonSalem and began training at the age of 10 with the N.C. School of the Arts preparatory program, where she attended high school. She trained with ballet companies in Hungary, Houston, Miami and New York City. She joined the Carolina Ballet in 2008, where she was a trainee.
“She really contributed a huge amount to the company and her loss is enormous to us,” said Elizabeth Parker, communications manager and assistant to the director of Carolina Ballet. “She was only 20 years old and she was a really lovely young girl. “She was always just delightful and just had a very almost innocent young way about her. She was also just perfectly beautiful.”

Jonaki stood hesitantly at the edge of the pool. When her owner, graduate student Darpan Biswas, waded toward the middle of the community center pool, the yellow Labrador flopped from the side into the water and swam to him. At the sixth annual Orange County dog swim Sunday, Biswas gave Jonaki a piggyback ride in the pool, surrounded by about 50 other pairs of dogs and their owners.
“She loves the water and the beach,” Biswas said. The Chapel Hill Community Center event was sponsored by Orange County Animal Services and the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation. The event allowed dogs to swim in the indoor pool and run in a fenced-in area. Frisbees and tennis balls rolled everywhere throughout the three-hour event. Orange County Animal Services Program Coordinator Sarah Fallin said the swim usually draws about 75 dogs.
Admission was $5 for each dog and humans were free. The proceeds will be split between the sponsoring organizations. Fallin said the money raised was of small significance. The event’s purpose was to raise awareness about the animal shelter and to have a good time.

Fixed textbook prices trap Student Stores Students search elsewhere for texts By Jeannine O’Brian Staff Writer
Sophomore Tuyet Sykes spent about $700 when she preordered textbooks from Student Stores for her first semester at UNC. Before the start of her second semester, she realized she could cut that total almost in half by hunting down used books on Franklin Street. “It’s a horrifying experience,” she said about the cost. Sykes is not alone. Every year students and faculty members agonize over the seemingly exorbitant prices Student Stores charges for textbooks.
But the price the stores can charge is constricted by state laws that prevent it from engaging in some of the competitive practices employed by private businesses. This keeps the price of books at the store slightly higher than surrounding businesses, which hinders the school’s ability to raise money for scholarships and student aid. The Umstead Act, a 1929 law, prohibits state-run agencies such as Student Stores from competing with private retailers. It also mandates that the profit made by public university stores be used for scholarships.
The law creates a disparity between the business strategies of Student Stores and private textbook retailers in Chapel Hill, such as Ram Book & Supply and Tarheel Book Store. While the cost of books is slightly higher at Student Stores, differences aren’t drastic. Textbook publishers, not individual retailers, tend to control how much books are sold for. While prices of a particular book may vary, all three stores calculate prices using roughly the same formula. Larger textbook publishers like Pearson usually sell books to stores at a net price, said Kelly Hanner, manager of Student

Seven protestors who drew national attention last spring for disrupting conservative speeches on campus are scheduled for trial today in Chapel Hill. The protestors — only one of whom was a UNC student — ignited discussion on campus about the right to protest, the treatment of the protestors, free speech and academic freedom. Haley Koch, a UNC senior, is facing charges of disturbing the peace for protesting a speech by former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo that took place April 14. Haley Koch, The protest, the only which police protester with were forced to UNC ties, goes break up after to court today. they say it got out of hand, prevented Tancredo from speaking.

Chicken sandwich and a bag of weed

From staff and wire reports
n 18-year-old man pulled into a McDonald’s in Charleston, S.C., hoping for a few chicken sandwiches. Wrong thing to order, apparently. Instead of getting his crispy treat, the man found two bags of marijuana and a loaded handgun. Police said the bag was apparently intended to be handed to the next car coming through the drive-thru. Police also said they believe the gun was either a .45 caliber or a 9 mm. The car behind the 18-year-old followed him all the way to a nearby gas station, where they approached the car and demanded he hand over the bag. Next time he’ll get the nuggets.

It’s a calling, a strong one.” Kyle Madden’s father, Lee Madden, had been a part of the fraternity at Rider University, and suggested that his son start a chapter at UNC.

With the lease on the lot ending in December and construction beginning shortly after, he is not left with much time to find a new location. “We had a lead, but it didn’t pan out,” he said. ReCYCLEry volunteer Robert “Rew” Wilson has been attending workshops regularly since the start of summer and said he will continue after the impending move. “Biking is something fun I can do with my kids, and the people here are a great bunch,” Wilson said. He plans to continue going no matter where the ReCYCLEry ends up. Samantha Overmyer is not so sure. She’s a volunteer who commutes from Pittsboro usually on her bike, her only mode of transportation.
A local man’s claim of racial profiling has prompted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to call for a civilian review of complaints against police. The complaint was filed Aug. 10 on behalf of Charles Brown, owner of the East Rosemary Street barber shop Precise Cuts and Styles. According to the complaint, Brown was unlawfully detained June 1 for about 40 minutes by Chapel Hill police who suspected he was somebody else. As the incident is being investigated by Chapel Hill police, it is unclear whether the Town Council will establish a civilian review board, which would enable citizens to evaluate how complaints are handled. If they don’t, Brown’s lawyer, Alan McSurely, who works with the Chapel Hill-Carrboro branch of the NAACP, said he will pursue a lawsuit. Though McSurely said he’s pleased with the town’s response so far — a letter of apology — he stressed that racial profiling is an issue that must be addressed, not smoothed over. “This is a very serious incident that took place, and I don’t think it is unique,” McSurely said. The complaint states that Brown was walking from his shop to his fiancée’s house when he was stopped by police seeking a man named Mr. Farrington. “We have met with him to hear his concerns,” said Chris Blue, Chapel Hill police assistant chief for administrative services. “We’re still completing our internal review. What that will yield and what steps we will take going forward still remain to be seen.” Michelle Cotton Laws, the NAACP branch president who filed the complaint, requested a timely, written response from Mayor Kevin Foy and a meeting with downtown business groups to discuss the climate for black business owners. McSurely said the town attorney has told him the letter of apology will come soon. “We should be getting it in the next few days. … I am satisfied they are acting on it,” he said. Town spokeswoman Catherine Lazorko said the town discussed a civilian review board in a meeting in October and no action was taken. But Lazorko said this does not mean the possibility of such a board has been ruled out. “It was very clear that the council was interested in some kind of citizen review board,” Lazorko said. McSurely said he has been in contact with town officials, while his client, Brown, said he has heard

ON THE ROAD AGAIN ReCYCLEry forced from home for second time by Sarah glen staff writer
Carrboro’s ReCYCLEry is being forced to move once again due to town development. After moving from rural Carrboro to East Main Street in March, they must vacate their space by the end of the year. Without a new home to move to, the ReCYCLEry, a volunteer-based organization that enables participants to fix up old bikes for free, doesn’t know its future. The organization is currently located on the site of a future development, slated to break ground in early 2010, which will include a hotel, parking deck, offices and restaurant space. Jim Spencer Architects is the firm leading the development of the East Main project.
Jim Spencer, the company principal, said he wishes the ReCYCLEry didn’t have to move but is highly anticipating East Main Street’s new developments. “I look forward to having more things to do on this side of town, and I’m excited for the new Cat’s Cradle,” Spencer said. Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton said he is excited for Carrboro to have its first hotel and he believes the East Main project will have a positive influence on the town. But he’s also concerned for the future of the ReCYCLEry. “The move was inevitable,” Chilton said. “But we are continuing to work with them in finding a new location.” ReCYCLEry director Chris Richmond said he has not yet secured a permanent

5 Questions: Chapel Hill band New Town Drunks Sept. 11: When you hear the name New Town Drunks, the moniker of the married Chapel Hill duo of Diane Koistinen and Roberto Cofresi, you might get the wrong idea about the band. Well, at least partially. Sure, the band’s old-time and country inspired early records seemed ready made for a late-night kegger in a Southern back yard. And yes, the two do occasionally like to indulge in their titular vice. But that’s not the whole story: Diversions: I’ve always wondered about the name. I know Jack Whitebread of Neil Diamond Allstars came up with it. Why? Diane Koistinen: We had just moved here to Chapel Hill. We were going out a lot. When you move to a new town, at first you feel like you’re on vacation. You’re like, “Whoooo!” But then you realize, “Hey, I live here” and “I’m going to see you again probably.” This is a small town. I mean, we moved
here from New York. But we were definitely getting our “new town drunks” on. We were going out a lot. We walked in the door, and he said, “Here comes new town drunks,” and I thought, “Man, that’s a great name for a band.” Dive: Coming into the community and having been in bands before, what did you think of it as opposed to where you’ve been before? Roberto Cofresi: We loved it man, especially because we came from New York. I worked with a band in New York, and getting any kind of rehearsal anytime it was a nightmare. Everybody’s looking to: What’s the payback here? What’s the goal? How many records are we going to put out? How much are we getting paid? I hate to say rat race, but it’s pretty ratracey. Here we could just relax and play. Read the rest of the Q&A with New Town Drunks at www.daily tarheel.com/dive.

But for others, simply observing their classmates overcome boredom in more creative ways is enough of a distraction. Freshman Divya Arabi said she was shocked to witness another student shopping for underwear during one of her classes.

National and World News Wilson says no apology coming
Pakistani terrorist group building new structure in Punjab province
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., said Sunday he won’t apologize to his colleagues for defaming President Barack Obama, increasing the likelihood the House will pass an official reprimand as early as this week. Wilson was defiant in answering a series of sharp questions from Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.” The South Carolina Republican left little doubt he will reject House Democratic leaders’ demand he stand on the floor and apologize to other lawmakers for his, “You lie!” shout during Obama’s address to Congress last week.
BAHAWALPUR, Pakistan (MCT) — A Pakistani terrorist group that’s allied with alQaida and sends jihadists to Afghanistan to fight U.S. and government troops is building a huge new base in full view of the authorities in Pakistan’s most heavily populated province. Jaish-e-Mohammad (“Army of Mohammad”), which is linked to a series of atrocities, including an attack on the Indian parliament in Delhi and the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl, has walled off a 4.5-acre compound three miles outside the town of Bahawalpur in the far south of the Pakistan’s heart-
land Punjab province. The State Department designated Jaish a “foreign terrorist organization” in December 2001, and Pakistan banned it in 2002. There are jihadist inscriptions painted on the inside walls, including a proclamation that “Jaish-e-Mohammad will return”, alongside a picture of Delhi’s historic Red Fort, implying further terrorist attacks against the Indian capital. Jaish — and Pakistani officials — said the facility, which is still under construction, is simply a small farm to keep cattle.

However, gathering members to meet the international requirements for recognition was difficult, as the fraternity could not officially participate in rush to recruit new members. “It was, well, it was a process,” Kyle Madden said about meeting the requirements. “We had our ups and downs, but everyone put in the effort, and it’s finally paying off.” Tau Kappa Epsilon, established in 1899, is the only fraternity that has never had an exclusionary clause requiring members to meet a certain level of social status or wealth. “We pride ourselves on not looking at wealth, rank or honor, but by personal wealth and character,” said Nat Sheppard, associate regional director at Tau Kappa Epsilon for the southern region. “To this day, it’s the only collegiate university fraternity never to have an exclusionary clause.” Senior Chris Watts, president of the fraternity, said he was in disbelief that they had received recognition.

Obama will speak Man arrested for brown Abortion won’t get public money on financial crisis 10 bank robberies little. from page 3
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius pledged Sunday that President Barack Obama will support barring public funding for abortion in any health care overhaul legislation. Abortion policy has been an ongoing concern throughout the health care debate. In July, the House Energy and Commerce Committee attempted to compromise on abortion funding as it wrote its version of the health care bill. The bill would permit the proposed public health care plan to fund abortions, though not with federal money.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — President Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech on the financial crisis today — one year after Lehman Brothers collapsed, driving the markets into turmoil — as part of the White House’s effort to rekindle bank regulatory reform efforts. Obama is scheduled to speak midday at Federal Hall in New York to discuss steps the administration is taking to revive the economy and what efforts it is taking to phase out its bank bailout programs. He is also expected to press Washington lawmakers to move quickly to enact regulatory restructuring legislation.
ST. LOUIS (MCT) — A man suspected of robbing at least 10 banks across four states was arrested Saturday at a motel in Kingdom City, about 100 miles west of St. Louis. Chad E. Schaffner, 37, was arrested about 2:30 p.m. at a Super 8 motel after someone spotted him at a restaurant, recognized him and called police. Authorities said Schaffner was wanted in 10 armed bank robberies starting in May in Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. He had also felony warrants for burglary and receiving stolen property.
Brown said he is not satisfied with the progress so far. “It seems like they should have been trying to make it right immediately after it happened,” Brown said. McSurely said he feels positive about the dialogue with the town but is willing to sue to make a statement. “What we need is something that will protect people who believe that they have been stereotyped,” he said. “We need to protect people who have the courage to stand up and say, ‘That is not right.’”

“It feels amazing right now,” Watts said. “We never thought this day would come. We’ve been full of hope, sometimes even false hope, but now its here. It hasn’t exactly sunk in yet, I guess.” Jenny Levering, assistant director of fraternity and sorority life, said she is optimistic about the new fraternity’s presence on campus. “I believe that TKE will serve as a role model for other fraternities,” Levering said. David Kreis, a recent UNC alumnus and former president of the fraternity, said he hopes the University will accept their petition for membership. “We want them to know that TKE is going to be an asset to the Greek system, and we want to have an active dialogue with them as for what that will mean,” Kreis said. Senior and fraternity member Akshay Ahuja said he thinks the chapter will serve as a positive force on campus. “We want to show people that fraternities are more than just partying. They can be the epitome of brotherhood and of progress and of some greater good out there.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Foreign students sober up Farm tour fails Undergrads cope Drinking ages throughout the world following graph shows a sample of drinking age requirements in countries with drinking age The throughout the world. The U.S. has the highest drinking age of all countries. 50

Zach Hackley, UNC Senior Number of countries
Mattia Bazzoni, an exchange student from Italy, was excited for his inaugural night out on Franklin Street. He ordered his first beer when suddenly it hit him — he’s only 20, and he’s not in Europe. For undergraduate exchange students, chances are this scene is all too familiar. Used to drinking carefree back home, coming to the U.S. and facing the 21 drinking age is a major adjustment, along with other cultural drinking disparities. “It was the first time in my life that I couldn’t buy alcohol from the supermarket,” said Francesco Caiulo, a 20-year-old Italian exchange student at UNC. “I’ve been to Indonesia, Singapore and Germany. This is the only place I’ve been to where I can’t drink.” Besides Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and a few other countries, which ban drinking completely, an 18-year-old college freshman can drink legally almost anywhere else in the world. Drinking age aside, there are also other differences in drinking habits that exchange students must adjust to. “In Italy, we start drinking a lot sooner but mainly during meals,”
“I noticed that the Europeans seem much more controlled in their drinking habits.”

Caiulo said. “Here, the main reason is to get drunk.” Even more startling is the contrast in parental attitudes, Bazzoni said. “My first drink was when my dad let me have a sip of his glass of wine,” Bazzoni said. “I was five.” Being used to the permanent presence of the wine bottle at the dinner table prevents alcohol from becoming a taboo, Caiulo said.

Remaking America:
Zach Hackley, a senior at UNC who studied in Italy last year, said he experienced a similar culture shock while abroad. “I noticed that the Europeans seem much more controlled in their drinking habits,” Hackley said. “With our age group especially, it seemed like the Americans drank a lot more heavily than the Italians.” According to a report published by HealthDay News in June, the number of deaths due to binge drinking has increased, along with
the number of students who admitted to driving under the influence. Caiulo said if the drinking age was decreased, the number of deaths would also decrease. However, some disagree. “The reasons for the lower death rates in Europe aren’t due to different drinking habits,” said Craig Lloyd, the state executive director of North Carolina Mothers Against Drunk Driving. “Cars are more expensive in Europe, so fewer students drive as they can’t afford to.” According to the American Medical Association, the brain develops until approximately 20 years of age. Lloyd said this, coupled with the fact that alcohol is the number one drug problem in the U.S., is why MADD is opposed to lowering the drinking age. Although Bazzoni said the drinking age limit didn’t influence his decision to study in the U.S., it worsened his culture shock. “I can’t get into clubs, buy a drink or have a beer during dinner,” he said.

Controversy arose before the first chicken was scheduled for slaughter at the second Urban Farm Tour held Saturday in Carrboro. After negative response from the public, founder Sammy Slade decided to cancel the demonstration in favor of a public discussion on chicken slaughtering. Several chickens were supposed to be slaughtered during the event for one of 10 skill workshops, a time for farmers to demonstrate specific skills from extracting a bee hive’s honey to planting a lasagna garden. The discussion kicked off the farm tours at 3:30 p.m. with residents speaking out on both sides of the issue. Some residents were upset over the idea of killing the chickens in public, while others were concerned whether the slaughtering methods would be humane. “It went well,” Slade said. “It was very civil, and hopefully we can continue the conversation.” After the discussion the farm tour went on to showcase farms in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. Volunteer Lucas Brown said he noticed a high turnout and said the tour was as successful as last year’s. “I think what brings people Contact the City Editor out is their curiosity and desire to at citydesk@unc.edu. learn,” Brown said. Through the skill shares offered, Brown said the organizers hoped people would learn that farming is possible in an urban environment. Other demonstrations included fruit tree planting and bamboo fencing. Twenty-one planters offered their farms as stops on the tour.

ing techniques and received tips from the farmers. Some farms, such as Steve Williams’, offered their visitors starter plants to take home. Different varieties of lettuce and okra seeds were available for those who stopped by. Williams said he decided to participate in the tour to educate residents about community farms, not to persuade them to start them. “I am not the kind of guy that thinks everyone should do this themselves,” Williams said “I just think it is good to educate people about it.” Slade started the farm tour last fall as part of a movement to increase consciousness of how food is produced. “In Carrboro, less than five percent of the food consumed is produced locally,” Slade said. Slade said he hopes that the tours would raise awareness of locally grown food and encourage residents to support their local farmers. Event organizers sought to achieve two goals with the farm tour: “Reacquainting ourselves with the very basic aspects of life, food being the main one,” Slade said. “And another main component is to have fun, of course.”

The Carolina College Advising Corps, a program that recruits recent graduates from UNC to serve as college advisers to underprivileged high schools in North Carolina, is looking to expand its operations and reach more N.C. high school students. Administrators said they decided to grow the program after seeing a noticeable increase in the number of students from these areas who decided to apply to college. This year, eight graduates out of more than 75 applicants were recruited for this fall’s program, according to program director Jennifer Cox Bell. Bell said due to plans for expansion of the program, 13 new members would join the corps next fall. “We are looking for enthusiasm and general passion for getting students to college,” said Connie Freeman, assistant director of the National College Advising Corps, headquartered at UNC. “We are searching for students that really reflect the community they help, which is why many but not all our advisers are low-income, first-generation college students themselves,” Freeman said. Bell said the high schools selected to participate in the program typically have low-income, firstgeneration students. Advisers help them apply for financial aid and college. According to Bell, the application process includes a written application, interviews and a meet and greet between the students chosen and high school representatives. The program is a full-time paid service position, and advisers chosen have to partake in a six-week training program next summer. “I really love it,” said Rachel Brody, an adviser for the corps since August 2008. “It can certainly be challenging and exhausting sometimes. It doesn’t feel like a job, and I like going to work every day.” Bell said the program welcomes students from all majors, as long as they show enthusiasm for their work and are recent graduates or graduate students from UNC. “The biggest challenge is getting students excited and telling them that even if they can’t afford it, there are scholarships and financial aid available,” said Donovan Livingston, a recently appointed adviser who graduated in May. The Carolina Advising Corps, based in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, is one of 13 partnerships in the National College Advising Corps, which was founded by Nicole Hurd at the University of Virginia. An information session will be held in October, and applications are due this fall to start work next June. Students who wish to apply can contact jcoxbell@admissions.unc. edu.

“Editing a book should not be like having a hysterectomy,” Dessen said.
“My ignorance was profound in the book business,” Deutermann said on starting out.
“I developed the creepy journalist thing where I can look into someone’s eyes and write at the same time,” Tower said.
“Short stories are just about moments, a gesture. Yet there’s an affective twist that turns it to another side,” Millet said.
“I just try and see and feel my way into what I’m describing,” Durban said of the art of description.
“Had they made the worst film in the history of cinema, it would still bring me more readers,” Wallace said.
“When writing, it’s hard to think in the larger sense about how your writing is going to evolve. Having other people read your work can give you that perspective,” Mitchell said.
“When you write a piece you’re aspiring to have published, put the manuscript down for a while; you’ll be amazed at the problems you’ll see,” Hart said.
“The scenes are everything, so you have to trick yourself into thinking what you’re writing is interesting so that the reader will also. Mostly you have to maintain enough energy,” Tower said.
“We’re always reducing what we’ve read. The more you read over the stories, the more you’ll take out,” Gingher said.
“I realized I was trying to force it into something it wasn’t; once I let it take on its own form and not stunt it, it became a story,” Durban said.
Gurganus said that agreeing to have your writings turned into movies will provide you with enough financial support to allow two to three years of writing.

Stores’ textbook department. All three stores mark up the price by 33 percent of the wholesale value. Other publishers, like Random House Inc., choose suggested retail prices for books and then sell to individual stores for 20 percent less than that price. These practices are considered textbook industry standards, and Hanner said they haven’t changed in the 20 years she has worked at Student Stores. Industry standards also dictate that used books be sold at 75 percent of their original retail price. But private stores, not bound by the Umstead Act, have more leeway to make their prices competitive. This permits Ram Book & Supply and Tarheel Book Store to lower prices and draw customers away from Student Stores. Tarheel Book Store Manager Christian Campbell said his staff looks at each book individually and picks a price that’s below the industry standard. “We offer a discount that still lets us operate,” Campbell said.

The protestors’ supporters will be back outside the Franklin Street courthouse today with signs and megaphones for a rally at noon. They have argued that the arrests of Koch and the other protestors was unfair. Koch’s parents, Christopher and Susan Koch, sent a letter Thursday to Chancellor Holden Thorp asking UNC to drop all charges against their daughter. The letter — more than 1,300 words long — poses questions to Thorp on the nature of Koch’s arrest, asking why she is the only one charged for the April 14 incident, why she was handcuffed on campus after walking out of class and why the arrest was made nine days after the incident. Department of Public Safety spokesman Randy Young said in June that Koch was the only arrest because she was the only person who had been identified as a wrongdoer by the ongoing investigation.

Lecture focuses on human resilience BY Jeff miles
Anna Deavere Smith
Staff writer
Anna Deavere Smith is probably best known for her portrayal of Nancy McNally, the intense, argumentative national security adviser of NBC’s West Wing. But Friday night the actress revealed a different side of herself, going barefoot to “walk in the shoes” of the director of an AIDS orphanage and a victim of the Rwandan genocide as she gave a dramatic performance on human resilience to a packed Memorial Hall. Smith spoke about grace and kindness through the perspective of a variety of people she met and interviewed for her play “Let Me Down Easy,” which premieres offBroadway this week. The play is a compilation of Smith’s theatrical interpretations of interviews she conducted. Smith’s performance was a result of collaboration between the Frank Porter Graham Lecture Series and the North Carolina Literary Festival. In her talk, Smith portrayed a variety of individuals, including the Dr. James Hal Cone, an expert on black liberation theology; Ann Richards, former governor of Texas who fought a long battle with cancer; and Trudy Howell, who runs a South African orphanage for children whose parents died from AIDS. Smith called each of the individuals a muse, and said they exemplified what she called “the resilience of the human spirit.” Although the lecture was serious and at times emotional, Smith injected moments of humor in her performance. As the title “Finding Grace and Kindness in a Winner-Take-All Society” suggests, Smith emphasized the need to be strong in the face of adversity. “I hope all of you take your potential to bring light wherever you go, no matter how dark it is,” she said. Smith was specifically invited to speak about “the poverty of spirit” and to show the diversity of style found in writing, said Amy Baldwin, director of the N.C. Literary Festival. Smith was the festival’s first
Anna Deavere Smith is an award-winning actress, playwright and professor. Her Broadway show, “Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992,” was nominated for two Tony Awards and won her a Drama Desk Award, a New York Drama Critics Special Citation and an Obie. The New York Times described her as “the ultimate impressionist- she does people’s souls.” She is perhaps best known for her portrayal of Nancy McNally, national security advisor on the NBC show “The West Wing.” She has also appeared on the TV shows “Presidio Med,” “The Practice,” and “Nurse Jackie,” and in the films “The American President,” “The Human Stain,” and “Rachel Getting Married.” Smith is currently a professor at New York University where she teaches in the Tisch School of the Arts and the School of Law. She is founding director of the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue, which uses the arts to address social change. She has an honorary degree from UNC. DTH ONLINE: Read about the N.C. Literary Festival’s keynote speech. choice to deliver the Frank Porter Graham Lecture, Baldwin said. “She’s just great,” said Martha Hauptman of Chapel Hill, who attended the lecture. “She’s filled with humanity.” Hauptman said she saw Smith speak at Harvard and said she enjoyed the alternative performance style. Robin Poer of Carrboro said she enjoyed the performance as well. “She’s a gifted speaker and actress who literally embodies the people she was portraying.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

W
hen I was young my mom frequently read “The Man Who Kept His Heart In A Bucket” aloud to me. This book is about a guy who gets hurt by a relationship and resolves to stop the pain by physically taking out his heart and sticking it in a bucket to keep it safe. I got distracted by the fact that this lumbering automaton was somehow living with vital organs outside his body, and I didn’t really learn the book’s lesson. Flash forward to sophomore year of high school. After my very first girlfriend and I broke up that year, I thought that was that. I just gave up on dating. But not forever. I, just like the main character in that book, realized that it’s just too hard to keep your heart in a bucket. It’s cold and uncomfortable and you should just stick that thing back into your chest. I look around and a lot of folks seem to have their hearts in buckets. Our society supports the bucket as a desired course of action. In this world those who care the least are labeled the coolest. To that end, students at this school are very cautious and nonchalant. When it’s cool not to care, sometimes you can be way too cool. And in that lies madness. It seems, from talking to people, that most of the time bad relationships will lead to caring less about future opportunities. If you were an investment banker and you make a bum call on a stock, and you end up losing $100,000, what’s the first thing to do? You better spring into action and turn that loss around. No one will advise that you immediately give up for a while. Most people will, actually, compare themselves to investment bankers if you ask them about past relationships. They’ll complain about how they wasted so much time, money, or emotion on the person in question. I’ve said that; you’ve probably said that. Time is finite, although you have exactly as much in this moment as you would if you hadn’t “wasted” it on this relationship. Money is finite, and you might very well have wasted some on this person. But emotion isn’t finite. You can’t run out and exist as an empty shell. If you’re alive, you will have more emotion. There’s no way to store it up for a later date, or sell it off if you have a surplus. You give out emotion, you get emotion in return, but you aren’t trading a commodity. You are giving something away freely because you have plenty of it. Just because you spend a lot of emotion hoping that the Heels will win at basketball doesn’t mean you can’t hope for them to win at soccer. The real waste is not the time or the money you spent on the person. The real waste on your end is taking too long to recover. Visiting the past, looking around, and thinking about what happened is one thing. But you can’t live there for too long before your fingertips start disappearing like in “Back to the Future.” And without fingertips you won’t be able to text that nice boy in art class or that funny girl at the back of the philosophy recitation and ask them out.
Let the public know State must explain why two probation officers demoted after Eve Carson tragedy were reinstated
W
ithout any public justification, the state has quietly reinstated to their roles as supervisors two probation officials who were demoted last year. Now the state needs to tell everyone why. The demotions came after an internal investigation into the probationary system following the arrests of Demario James Atwater and Laurence Alvin Lovette. The two men were on probation when charged with the death of former Student Body President Eve Carson. The internal investigation by the N.C. Department of Correction after Carson’s death revealed incompetency within the state’s probation system. Several officers resigned following the investigation, which showed that Atwater
and Lovette were inadequately supervised. But the internal investigation didn’t disclose any reason for these two supervisors’ demotions, and the corrections department has not provided reasons for reinstating the officials back to their previous positions. This is unacceptable. In a case of this magnitude, the public must know why the reinstatements were made. State law allows agencies to keep personnel files from the public. But a clause in the law calls for the information to be released if public confidence in the agency is shaken. This is one of those cases. Cheryl Morris and Cindy Faison, the chief probation and parole officers, will be receiving back pay that will compensate
them for money lost during the demotion. Their disciplinary records also will be expunged. The public cannot make a judgement on whether they deserve reinstatement and back pay with the information currently available. But the Carson tragedy affected a very large community that deserves an explanation for these rulings. The state needs to cite reasons for its actions so the public can hold it accountable. Admittedly, the state must fill positions within the system with experienced personnel. And the demotions could have come for a variety of reasons — from outright negligence to a technical detail. But that doesn’t give the state the right to exonerate these individuals without justifying its actions to the public.
Who you gonna call? With 911 down in Orange County, University should have used Alert Carolina system on campus
T
he Orange County 911 emergency number crashed for about three hours Thursday. And this wasn’t even the first time this year. The emergency number went down around 9:40 a.m. and was back up around 12:30 p.m. The county was without the 911 number the entire morning. During this time, people were still able to call a backup number. But many people in the UNC community were unaware of this. The University should be prepared for situations like this
with its Alert Carolina program of text messages and Web site updates. This system is supposed to be the go-to source for information in an immediate lifethreatening or severe situation involving safety on our campus. But the Alert Carolina Web site didn’t post anything about the problem, and no mass text message was sent out. Considering our modern society’s sophisticated level of technology, this lack of communication is completely unacceptable. Lt. Robert Patton of Orange County Emergency Services
told the DTH that the reason for the outage is unclear. Granted, the service was back up and running by that afternoon. But the three-hour gap without an easy alternative is a major hole in Orange County Emergency Services’ ability to serve citizens. And here on campus, the lack of response from Alert Carolina should spur officials to re-evaluate how they use the emergency response system. If the system crashes again, citizens can call the backup number, (919) 732-5856. You might want to save it in your address book.
No reason to head south

Making Rams Head Plaza another Pit is a lot harder than it might seem at first
ampus leaders should reconsider pushing Rams Head Plaza as a new Pit. It’s good to announce a plan and to think about the future, but it’s going to take a lot more work than it seems. Many students on South Campus would welcome the idea of a Pit-like place near their homes. Activities in the area are pretty hard to come by, unless they’re run by the Resident Hall Association or a student group. The problem is that the Pit is going to be difficult to emulate. Some benches, a Starbucks and a few annual events in the plaza don’t cut it now, and they
won’t in the future. And there’s a reason the Pit is at the center of campus life. It’s between Franklin Street and South Campus, and it’s near some of the University’s most important student buildings. In short, it’s perfect for student gatherings. Meanwhile, Rams Head Plaza is surrounded by the Student Academic Services Buildings, a dining hall, a gym, some dorms and a mini-mart. It’s not a bad place. It’s just a little boring. The plaza isn’t used for mass gatherings often, and there isn’t much incentive for students to go there other than to eat or work out. Yes, creating a place like the
Pit in the area would change that, but it’s not going to be easy. Small changes simply aren’t going to make it a campus hot spot. Such a transformation will require a major shift in the makeup of South Campus. To truly create a “Pit” on South Campus, there needs to be large investment in new buildings and services that naturally draw students to the area. That’s what makes the Pit unique — so many studentused buildings surround it. Student government shouldn’t abandon the idea of creating a South Campus gathering place. But simply holding a few events down there just isn’t going to cut it.
Self-control is the solution, not blaming Harris Teeter
Immigration forum panel lacked education expert
TO THE EDITOR: I have to say, I’m astounded at the dichotomy that can exists among intelligent people here at UNC as displayed in Abbey Caldwell’s column in The Daily Tar Heel (“Condoms can be hard to come by,” Sept. 11). The idea that a food corporation is irresponsible because they’ve made condoms too hard to find actually took me off guard. No doubt, unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases are major problems in this society, but are we honestly going to depend on sex markets to fix them? Caldwell suggests there is something “terribly wrong” with Harris Teeter not making “safe sex” a strong priority. But who is she fooling? The often-ridiculed, seldomdenied point is that abstinence is the only guaranteed safety, although the idea’s become all but irrelevant in our sex-driven culture. There is a way to fix these problems but it lies in a cultural shift, not condoms. You don’t eliminate a disease by treating its symptoms. When everywhere you look, whether it’s the mall, the news or even the grocery store and all you see is sex selling; you cannot blame the problems it creates on those few who have decided not to promote it. We are not children. It is irresponsible to shift blame away from personal choices. It is irresponsible for the DTH to advertise Playboy Magazine. It is irresponsible to reprimand Harris Teeter for keeping condoms out of view. We are adults. We are capable of self-control, and there is something terribly wrong with promoting sentiment that we are not.
TO THE EDITOR: Immigration is one topic that this campus apparently cannot address comprehensively, much less in the specifics. The forum held by the Parr Center for Ethics concerning access to higher education, “Undocumented Immigrants in America: Access to Higher Education,” proved that even when the audience stays civil, seemingly no one can get to the point, give straight-forward answers, and more importantly, back those answers with policy solutions. The fundamental and outright absurd flaw in last Thursday’s forum was in the selection of the panelists. I dare not insult the credibility of the professors, the lawyer, business leader and journalist who lead the discussion. They were all clearly distinguished individuals, within their own spheres. My grievance is in the fact that no one with a serious background in educational policy or ethics, the foundations of the discussion, was present. This is not a question of representing conservative and liberal views fairly (although attention to that element was suspect). Simply, if the main question proposed is that of educational access for illegal immigrants, focus on that element alone. It is apparent to all that illegal immigration is a broad and trying debate, but that is precisely why we have to tackle the issues one at a time utilizing the expertise of the people who know those issues best.

Policy for suicidal students isn’t really ‘voluntary’ at all
Simon Peter Conrad Senior Spanish, Political Science
TO THE EDITOR: When I grabbed a copy of The Daily Tar Heel on Friday, I was positive I would see a tribute to 9/11 as the feature story. Instead, Michael Jordan covered the front page, leaving only a small section for an article about the anniversary of that terrible day. Don’t get me wrong, I love Michael Jordan and the fame he brought to the University. But where is the DTH’s patriotism? Instead of a reflection, the only article the DTH ran about 9/11 claimed that most people have moved on. Almost 3,000 Americans were murdered, the country was brought to a standstill for several days and now we are engaged in a war in Afghanistan to bring justice to the organization behind those hijackings. Doesn’t that deserve to be the feature article on at least one day of the year? There is a blurred line between “moving on” and forgetting the scope of the past. It was a disservice to everyone affected by the 9/11 events to not pay more tribute to that fateful day in history.
TO THE EDITOR: The Daily Tar Heel recently published an article on the University’s policy about suicidal students (College students struggle with alcohol, suicidal thoughts,” Sept. 2). Campus Wellness Services stated that it recommends “voluntary time away from school.” But the Emergency Evaluation and Action Committee Policy states: “The committee shall consider whether the student’s behavior and other facts of the case indicate that the student poses a danger to himself/herself and whether the immediacy of the danger is so great that emergency action should be taken. If the committee agrees that emergency action is warranted, it shall summarily impose an indefinite medical suspension on the student or take other appropriate action to minimize the risk, including referral of the student, on an emergency basis, to the Counseling and Wellness Services Office for assessment.” Does that sound voluntary? Isn’t removing suicidal students from school, their friends, and possibly their campus job, likely to increase their depression? I feel that the facts about this policy need to be made public.

Farfan and Martinez Behm finds her stride in power UNC attack weekend tournament By Scott Powers
By Anna Kim Senior Writer
Enzo Martinez and Michael Farfan received their first tastes of ACC play Saturday against No. 18 N.C. State. Thanks to them, the outcome was a familiar one for the Tar Heels. With 25 minutes remaining in the game, the freshman and highly touted transfer teamed up to score the game-winning goal. With it, the North Carolina men’s soccer team took its third consecutive win against the Wolfpack and continues its record of just one loss to N.C. State since 1998. “It was the most intense game I’ve ever played,” Martinez said. He also helped to engineer one of the most memorable goals for the conference scoring leaders. With the score knotted at one, Martinez sent a long ball down the right sideline. “The ball was right there,” Martinez said. “I saw Michael making a great run there, and I played him through — then I just watched magic happen.” Farfan retained possession, beat a defender at the box and buried a strike that ricocheted off the right post and just narrowly into left side of the net. Teammates watched in bewilderment — and so did Farfan. “I thought it was going to come out,” he said with a laugh. “Luckily it curved in, so I was happy about it.” The goal was Farfan’s team-

as the defensive end tried to get around the edge, which prompted an official to throw a flag for a holding penalty. The spot for the penalty was just inside the end zone, which meant that, by rule, two points would be awarded to UNC. When the referee confirmed the call and signaled for a safety, the Tar Heels went crazy on the sidelines, wildly jumping up and down and throwing up the safety sign above their heads. “I didn’t even know what was going on,” tailback Ryan Houston said. “Everybody threw their hands up, and I didn’t know what they were doing. I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ and they were like, ‘Holding in the end zone.’” “And I just went nuts, like, ‘That’s two points, isn’t it? Yeah! We’re up two!’”

game brought on fatigue among the UConn defensive line, and that was what unlocked Yates’ arm in the game’s final quarter. “We made them play two-dimensional. It would have been almost impossible to have a 10-point deficit and go out and sling it every single snap,” Davis said. “If we had only thrown passes, we probably would have left this stadium with a loss today.” As the number of snaps piled up for UNC offensively, Davis inserted Ryan Houston, a power back, to try to take advantage of UConn’s tired defensive front. Houston, who had registered only one carry before the fourth, said he had been studying from the sideline what the Huskies had been doing against Draughn and had a plan for setting up his blocks. “I told them before the play, block them for a good 1.5 seconds and then I’m going to get in there and

The duo’s production accounts for nearly half of the team’s goals in the first four games. “It was brilliant,” coach Elmar Bolowich said. “The recognition that the keeper was already cheating for a cross. He picked him out and slipped into the near post. You have to give him credit for that.” The two newcomers have played an integral role since UNC entered the season with top-ranked honors and six departed seniors. Among the departed was leading scorer Brian Shriver, who accounted for 14 of the team’s 47 goals last season. “We lost a lot of seniors last year,” midfielder Cameron Brown said. “Michael and Enzo filled those spots. They are giving more than what could be expected of them. If they’re not on we don’t have really good games.” Farfan earned two-time firstteam All-Big West midfielder honors during his time at Cal State Fullerton. The junior transferred to North Carolina in January and trained with the team last spring. The game’s deciding play was set up by the revitalization of North Carolina’s offense, which had been stagnant for the game’s first 45 minutes. UNC had just 134 total yards through three quarters, and quarterback T.J. Yates had two passes picked off — one of which led to a Huskies’ touchdown. The Tar Heels doubled their offensive output in the final quarter, stringing together drives of 78 and 76 yards to tie the game with a field goal and a touchdown. Tight end Zack Pianalto culminated the second drive with a 2-yard catch with 2:36 left on the clock. “It was that conditioning in the fourth quarter, getting that push. We know that we still had something left in the tank,” Yates said. “We tried different things and went back to our original game plan, just kind of pounding it down the field those last two drives.” But following the catch, momentum began to shift back and forth
“I saw Michael making a great run there … then I just watched the magic happen.” Enzo Martinez, FRESHMAN With the arrival of fall, Farfan has quickly established himself as a pivotal cog in the Tar Heel offense. Martinez is quickly adjusting to his starting role on a collegiate team. Teammates rave about his shot-creating abilities and energy. “Enzo, he’s like a machine out there,” Bolowich said. “He’s moving constantly and he has an instinct of where the ball’s going to end up. That’s the striker quality he has.” Martinez said he hopes he can fill the void left by the seniors’ departures as best as he can. With two goals and an assist in his first four games, he isn’t off to a bad start. “It takes a lot to trust a freshman to go and play,” Martinez said. “I’m happy that somehow I can help the team. And with each individual player helping a little bit, we achieve something like this.” Now he hopes he can make sure the team sees more of the same. “It’s one down,” he said. “Now we focus on Duke.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. between the two teams. Pianalto, who finished with 87 yards and seven catches, injured his foot jumping in excitement after his touchdown and had to be carted off the field. He did not return. Connecticut’s next drive ended with the aforementioned safety, but the Huskies immediately got a jolt after they recovered an onside kick to get another chance on offense. But, as it had done for most of the game, UNC’s defense stood its ground, yielding only one first down before shutting down UConn. Defensive end Quinton Coples sacked Endres on fourth down to clinch the game. “We believed in our defense,” Yates said. “They saved our butt the entire game. They won us this game — all we had to do was put a couple points on the board.”

In an otherwise disappointing weekend for North Carolina volleyball, the Tar Heels had a triumphant Friday, rallying from a twoset deficit to defeat Tennessee. The match was particularly meaningful to sophomore setter Erica Behm, who tallied career highs in digs and assists. Behm had struggled with passing in the first two weekends of the season, averaging 1.26 digs per set. “Defensively, I haven’t been 100 percent this year,” Behm said. The struggles peaked in pract i c e Tu e s d a y when Behm had a rough day on defense. After practice, she told coach Joe Sagula she felt like he was Setter Erica on her case after Behm racked almost every up 59 assists in the Carolina play. The two talked for about Classic. 20 minutes as Sagula lined out what he wanted from her. “She’s got the physical capability to be a really good defensive player, but I think at times she just isn’t watching the game well enough,” Sagula said. Sagula told Behm that if she wanted to play on the starting team, she would have to hear the things that she could do better. Behm needed to work on planting her feet when anticipating attacks and making an effort to go after all balls hit within her range. The chat did the trick. Sagula missed Wednesday’s practice for recruiting, but he said his staff
told him that Behm stepped up her game. “I think she was more determined and realized that she’s got to be more focused,” Sagula said. Behm said talking with Sagula motivated her to play at a higher level. “Having that talk really kind of buckles you down and just clears everything out of your head,” Behm said. Behm’s performance in practice was good enough to retain the starting role at setter, and it continued into the match against Tennessee. Her defense was an important part of UNC’s comeback. She made plays on some balls that went by her in practice that week, and the result was 15 digs, a career high. “I’m proud of how she improved in that way — real, real proud,” Sagula said.
Behm also played one of her finest matches offensively, manifested in the score sheet as a career-high 59 assists. Her sets late in the game were consistently on the mark, paving the way for big kills by her hitters. The last three points the Tar Heels scored were kills by senior Ingrid Hanson-Tuntland, freshman Heather Henry and again by Hanson-Tuntland — and all three times, it was Behm who set up the spike. “I have confidence in all of my hitters, especially those two, to put the ball away. So if we’re in a tight game, I have 100 percent confidence going in there,” Behm said. “These are the crowds that I live for. I love performing in front of everybody.”

good play down the line again as they continue their daunting nonconference schedule with the Duke Nike Classic starting Friday against LSU. But the Tar Heels relish the learning experiences that come from these types of clashes. “It’s these games that we learn the most from — coming in at halftime 0-0 and figuring out what we have to do to get a goal in the back of the net,” Heath said. “And we did, so I’m proud of our team.”

get some yards all day,” Houston said. “I thanked them after every play and said, ‘Let’s go.’” Houston and his fresh legs rumbled for 32 yards on six carries in the final quarter, putting the Tar Heels’ offense in good situations for second and third downs. Yates took advantage of those opportunities to get the ball downfield to Zack Pianalto and Erik Highsmith, putting UNC in position to tie the score. Yates wasn’t sacked in the final quarter, and the increased amount of time he had to find receivers led to several third-down conversions. Particularly impressive to Yates was the way Holland handled his first start under center. “It was a very loud place in there, we had trouble with the sound and snap count and everything, just adjusting and all that,” Yates said. “The pressure was on him and Greg, making their first career starts. They did an amazing job.”
ping balls and missing easy returns. “It seemed that every time we generated some positive momentum, we made unforced errors,” Sagula said. “And it wasn’t just defensively. It was service errors, not being in the right position to dig a ball, or a free ball not working or running into somebody.” Still, the tournament proved to be a showcase for freshman outside hitter Emily McGee, who hit 32 kills for the UNC over the weekend.

But perhaps the biggest underlying story from the Carolina Classic is the competition at the libero position. Gibson began the season at the spot, but lost it to Georgieva in the Michigan State game. Gibson regained the job while facing Tennessee, but lost it again before the start of the CSU match. “(Sagula) is looking for consistency at each position, and so if we’re not consistent, then he’s going to put someone else in to try to do better,” said Gibson. “Right now, I just haven’t been consistent, and that’s why I’ve got to keep working for it through the season.” Both Gibson and Georgieva know that the pressure is on for them to perform in order to earn playing time on the court. “When you’re going through the season, every mistake counts,” Georgieva said. “When we’re fightdth/Andrew Dye ing for one spot, we know that we Bruce Carter (54) and the Tar need to get the job done.”

the intensity than defender Eddie Ababio’s yellow card. After the referee whistled him for a foul, Ababio stood up, yelled, and gestured at the referee. When the referee tried to motion him closer to give him a yellow card, he walked away defiantly. The Tar Heels took the lead for good on an inspired play by Farfan. The junior midfielder received a pass from Martinez a yard from the endline, cut back toward the middle to elude one defender, then shot between two defenders at the near post. The shot hit the inside of the post and went into the far side net. Farfan was a deserving finisher on the goal, as his creative passing and steady ball handling controlled the attack all game for UNC.

He’s like an engine — he speeds up the play, slows down the play at the right moment.” Farfan and Martinez thrived in their first ACC game, despite its physicality. “This was by far the most physical game I’ve played in my whole life,” Martinez said. “All you can do is just work hard and give back to them what they’re giving you.” UNC held on for the win in their the first ACC game of the season. “It was very important,” Farfan said. “It was our first ACC game, and it just shows that we have good character and we’re looking forward to the rest of the season.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

UNC wins in tight defensive battle WOMEN’S soccer Texas A&M UNC
0 2
By Jordan Mason Senior Writer
Nearly 82 minutes into the clash between the No. 1 North Carolina women’s soccer team and No. 13 Texas A&M, Tobin Heath found herself in a familiar position. In a scoreless game where both teams were making it hard to even get a shot off, Heath had already seen a potential assist to Casey Nogueira broken up at the last second and a potential assist to Jessica McDonald sail high off McDonald’s foot. But Heath made the same play again, this time paying off as Nikki Washington was able to score the first goal of the game in UNC’s 2-0 win against the Aggies Saturday. “(Ali Hawkins) played me a great ball in, and I looked up and Nikki, who is an outside midfielder, who was just busting her butt all game, got all the way down line,” Heath said. “That’s a long sprint that she made, and I just saw her open, and I just played her the ball and she finished it.” McDonald added a score in the 88th minute to give the Tar Heels (6-0) their goal. The two late goals were an offensive explosion considering the way the game went prior to the final nine minutes. The game was a battle that has become typical when these teams get together. The last six matches between the two schools have been decided by one goal. “They’re a very difficult team to play against,” head coach Anson Dorrance said. “They’re combative and hard working. They challenge every ball in the air. They’re direct in a very dangerous way. … They always play us tough, and today’s game was no exception.” UNC outshot the Aggies (4-3) 5-2 in the first half, and, while they had nothing to show for it, their spirits were not deterred. “It’s a relentless attitude that we always try to display out here. We just knew we had to keep going,” Washington said. “We missed opportunities, which means we were getting opportunities. We were almost there, just missing the final piece.” Heath, who Dorrance said is playing as well as any player

UNC safety Deunta Williams and head coach Butch Davis react to the game-winning safety after UConn was called for holding in its own end zone Saturday at East Hartford.
Heels steal win with 3 late scores By David Reynolds Senior Writer
EAST HARTFORD, CONN. — When he reached his seat in the interview room, coach Butch Davis paused deliberately to wipe some sweat from his brow, and then let out a very audible sigh. “I told the chancellor, ‘That’s why you don’t see any 100-yearold football coaches,” he said a few minutes later, when asked about how his blood pressure was doing in the aftermath of No. 24 North Carolina’s 12-10 victory against Connecticut.
No kidding. To cap a fourth quarter that featured more twists and turns than a Six Flags theme park, UNC (2-0) completed a rally from a 10-point deficit with a bizarre ending that Davis said he had never seen in all his years of coaching football. With the score knotted 10-10 and less than two minutes remaining in the game, UConn (1-1) faced third-and-22 on its own 8-yard line. “We had to go out there and basically try to get a sack or a stop,” defensive end Robert Quinn said. “The D-line as a whole wanted to

try and get up on the ball and try to get a sack.” The Huskies opted to set up a screen pass to combat the rush, and quarterback Cody Endres dumped it off to running back Jordan Todman for an apparent 15-yard gain, which was well short of the first down. But the real action of the play occurred between Quinn and UConn offensive tackle Dan Ryan. Ryan grabbed and tackled Quinn

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — Negative two. That number represented North Carolina’s total rushing yardage through three quarters of play against Connecticut. The meager number certainly wasn’t for lack of trying — the Tar Heels tried just about every running play in their playbook to break through the Huskies’ unrelenting front seven. “It was one of those things that early on, we weren’t getting onto the guys exactly where we wanted to,” left tackle Kyle Jolly said. Shaun Draughn tried darting both inside and outside, but repeatedly was stonewalled on rushing attempts, gaining just 17 yards on 13 carries. Greg Little got a few chances to try to get around the defense on reverses, but UConn’s pursuit limited him to just five yards. UNC even brought out its Wildcat formation,
but A.J. Blue was stuffed at the line for a two-yard gain on a quarterback draw. Those rushes, coupled with the yardage quarterback T.J. Yates lost when he was sacked six times, brought UNC’s rushing total to below zero. The Tar Heels were missing two starters on the offensive line, but coach Butch Davis refused to point to first-time starters Greg Elleby and Cam Holland as reasons for his team’s struggles on the ground. “It’s Connecticut. UConn, period,” Davis said. “It had not much else to do with anything else other than they are a very fundamentally sound and wellcoached football team.” But while Davis and his assistants knew the running game hadn’t paid any dividends through three quarters, they also knew the Huskies’ defensive line was wearing down. Davis said that the commitment to the running

North Carolina’s women’s volleyball team dropped two straight matches to Marshall and Colorado State in the Carolina Classic after beating Tennessee in the opening game.
After winning two straight games against Oklahoma and Grambling State, the North Carolina women’s volleyball team was looking to extend its winning streak in the Carolina Classic this weekend. But an upset win over Tennessee was overshadowed by lackluster play that led to losses in the second and third matches against Marshall and Colorado State. The two defeats brought the Tar Heels’ record to 4-5 for the season. The first match against the Volunteers — which entered the match 5-1 on the season — provided the most excitement for the Tar Heels over the weekend. UT won the first two sets 25-20 and 25-21. After replacing Aleksandra Georgieva with Kaylie Gibson at libero, UNC won the next three sets 25-19, 25-21, and 16-14. “We’ve been making subs like that in the last couple of matches, and you are probably asking yourself, ‘Why aren’t you starting that way?’” coach Joe Sagula said. “Maybe I’ll learn eventually.” The Heels then lost the next

In the first two sets, UNC trailed the Thundering Herd by a heavy margin and rallied late to no avail. The Tar Heels didn’t have much time to reflect upon the loss, as they faced a tough Colorado State team that night. The match against the Rams wouldn’t lift the Tar Heel spirits, either. UNC dropped three sets, 25-20, 25-16, and 25-22. Georgieva found herself back at the libero position at the start of the match, while Gibson appeared minimally. “On a scale of one to 10 in terms of physically where we are, I think we’re maybe a seven or an eight,” said Sagula. “But mentally, I thought we were a three.” UNC struggled defensively, drop-
