Hackers prey on UNC server

By Kevin Kiley University Editor

sports| page 10 RUN OVER UNC gave up 317 rushing yards to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday. The Heels had no answer for Ga. Tech’s triple-option offense.

university | page 4 QUESTIONING FIRES After touring the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center, Student Body President Jasmin Jones is more adamant that Franklin Street bonfires need to be permanently extinguished.

A hacker attack on a UNC server exposed 236,000 women’s information related to a medical research study, including 163,000 Social Security numbers.

The exposure was detected in late July, and the program has been working to inform the women that their information was exposed and determine how to prevent similar breaches in the future.

While the University hired a private computing expert to investigate the incident, it has not been able to identify the source of the attack or exactly what happened.

“We couldn’t tell that anything was actually taken,” said Karen

McCall, vice president of public affairs and marketing for UNC Health Care and the School of Medicine. “But we can’t be sure.”

The Carolina Mammography Registry, the exposed program, is a multi-site data collection network that tracks trends in breast cancer detection. It collects information from 31 locations across the state and analyzes them.

The Social Security numbers were used as identification numbers at the beginning of the study.

The program has since moved away from that practice.

The exposed server was used to upload information and was not located behind a firewall. In the wake of the exposure, administra-

tors said they are looking for another way to transmit data.

The rest of the information in the study, personal data of more than 400,000 women, was on another server behind a firewall.

Aside from the Social Security numbers, exposed data included ages, addresses and ethnicities of the women in the study.

The health information associated with the records was coded.

Without a key, the hacker would not be able to understand it.

Hacker attacks aren’t uncommon. UNC is targeted thousands of times a year, administrators said. Most aren’t successful or don’t expose sensitive information.

“Hackers target universities

because they have decentralized systems,” McCall said.

The research program is funded by a branch of the National Institutes of Health. When UNC learned of the breach, they notified the institute.

NIH told UNC to notify the women and fix the problem. It has not threatened to remove funding.

“I do not think that this will impact the funding, but we are going to have to be much more diligent,” Dr. Matthew Mauro, chairman of the Department of Radiology. “But they do have the ability to pull the funding.”

Gay pride parade ‘free from fear’ N.C. PrideFest draws thousands in 25th year

BY Amanda Ruehlen STAFF Writer

features | page 5 THIS IS THRILLER Hundreds of shoppers learned how to perform Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance in Durham over the weekend.

“Kings, queens and everything in between,” UNC’s regally themed float, held about 60 students donning everything from Burger King crowns and rainbow-feathered wings to sweaters and jeans.

The float rode through Duke’s East Campus on Saturday afternoon as part of the 25th annual N.C. PrideFest.

“Our float’s theme symbolizes the royalty we give to each other in the community. It represents the respect we’ve earned through our struggles,” said junior Brett Kessler, who wore Mardi Gras beads.

The festival is now marked more by celebration than protest, but it hasn’t always been that way.

North Carolina’s first pride event was in 1981, said Keith Hayes, spokesman for N.C. Pride. He said it was a spontaneously organized solidarity march when a local man was killed for being presumed gay.

“The country and the Triangle has moved so far away from that, and now the parade is really about celebrating what we have accomplished for gay civil rights — free from fear,” Hayes said.

Terri Phoenix, the director of the UNC LGBTQ Center, recalled a smaller-scale N.C. Pride parade in 1990. She said there were no elaborate flatbed floats like UNC’s this year, which was complete with a colorful throne made of boas and tissue paper.

“More people feel safe to be visible now,”

About 60 UNC students rode the UNC float in the 25th annual N.C. Pride parade on Saturday at Duke’s campus in Durham. Students dressed up, held homemade signs and screamed chants such as, “We’re here, we’re queer and our parents think we’re studying.” she said, adding that the emotion was reason for celebration.

A diverse mix of thousands of spectators, including straight couples, middle school students and families, lined Ninth Street, Broad Street and West Main Street in Durham. The mile-long parade included

more than 2,000 marchers.

Although tame protestors shouted scripture through bullhorns from the corner of Swift Avenue and West Main Street, they were outnumbered by the churches that joined the parade in support.

Imani Metropolitan Community Church of Durham had a float carrying members who wore shirts that vertically spelled “GAY,” standing for “God Adores You.” A roller-skating Jesus glided about 50 feet behind the UNC float carrying a cross that read “Love God and Your Neighbor.”

Not all aspects were as colorful as the gyrating dance moves from the Legends Night Club’s float. Some celebration was as simple as holding hands with a partner.

“A lot of times, people feel like they have to be quiet about who they are and what they really think,” said Noel Bynum, copresident of UNC’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender-Straight Alliance.

Despite the wet weather, the upbeat music and impromptu sidewalk dance parties proved Hayes’ description correct.

“It is the largest feel-good gay event in the gay community of North Carolina.”

Wilson to hold Clinton tapes ECU student government denies sit-in

By Upasana Kaku Staff writer

In a few months, a series of secret interviews covering the scandal and political battles of an eight-year presidency will reside in UNC’s library.

A new collection of 79 recordings based on interviews between former President Bill Clinton and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Taylor Branch, as well as correspondences between the two men, will become available to the public in January in Wilson Library.

The files are based on a series of interviews conducted between Clinton and Branch, a UNC alumnus, during the eight years of Clinton’s presidency.

“These papers are going to provide information on the Clinton presidency that has never been available before,” said Tim West, director of the Southern Historical Collection.

The documents form the basis of Branch’s book, “The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President,” which will be published Tuesday.

Following the book’s completion, Branch donated his files to the library’s Southern Historical Collection.

Historian Taylor Branch donated the files compiled while writing his upcoming book “The Clinton Tapes” to UNC’s Wilson Library.

“For those who want to get behind the book, we have the raw stuff here,” West said.

Branch met Clinton while campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern in 1972 in Texas.

When Clinton was elected president, he invited Branch to conduct the series of interviews during his term.

“Twenty years later, out of the blue, I get a call to come see him, surrounded by secret service agents,” Branch said.

“This project really grew out of his interest in preserving historical materials.”

Branch secretly interviewed Clinton 79 times during his presidency.

“I would get a call late in the afternoon saying ‘the president wants to see you at night, can you come down?’”

Branch said. “They would always want to do it at night, when most of the staffers went home, and always in the residential part.”

Clinton still has the original tapes from these sessions, but Branch made his own recordings after each one to preserve his memories.

“Branch recorded everything he could remember about those meetings,” West said.

“No sitting president has ever done something like this,” Branch said. “When you write such a personal account of someone, it’s hard to do it in ways that aren’t uncomfortable on both sides.”

Most of Branch’s papers are already at UNC but are still undergoing preparation by librarians for public use.

In January, they will officially join the Taylor Branch Papers, a collection opened in 1998. It already includes about 52,000 items, mostly related to Branch’s research on the civil rights movement for his Pulitzer Prize-winning trilogy on Martin Luther King Jr. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

East Carolina University’s student government now denies planning a protest at the school’s Board of Trustees meeting Friday that drew little participation, despite a trail of e-mails documenting their efforts to make the event one of the largest student protests in school history.

The students initially said they were protesting the fact that ECU Chancellor Steve Ballard has ignored student opinions during the process of appointing a new vice provost of student affairs. Student Government Association leaders promoted the sit-in as a way to force administrators to listen to the students’ voice.

But ECU spokesman John Durham said Thursday that a decision on the position, which has been vacant since July, is not coming anytime soon.

“It sounds to me like the students are jumping the gun,” Durham said about the planned sit-in.

ECU’s student government contacted several media

or 75 years, the vertical men’s underwear trap door tradition has been hanging tough for lefties.

But a British store is launching a new line of underwear for left-handed men that store employees think will allow them to avoid embarrassment in front of the urinal.

“Left-handed men have to reach much further into their pants, performing a Zshaped maneuver through two 180-degree angles before achieving the result that right-handed men perform with ease,” said Rob Faucherand of Debenhams store.

The garment is made by UK-based Hom. Rather than having a vertical slit on the right side of the underwear, it will have a horizontal opening.

Jane Bockstruck, the elderly sky diver, said she didn’t know what overcame her when she decided to make the jump. Her tandem guide said that she was the oldest person to ever sky dive with him. Boestruck also said she has been married seven times and traveled the world.

Tuesday’s test of the Alert Carolina system was marked in part by a drastic increase in the efficiency of the text message alerts.

Nearly 40,000 text messages were sent in a fraction of the time it took to send the messages last year, said Priscilla Alden, assistant vice chancellor for ITS user support and engagement.

Following system tests last semester, some students complained that text messages took too long to reach people.

But Alden said Alert Carolina has since changed the company that manages the text messages.

Alert Carolina conducted a head-to-head test between Rave Wireless and Pier Systems, two technology companies. The results showed that Rave was far more capable of handling the volume of messages needed and was selected as the new provider, Alden said.

Pier Systems is still used to host the alert system Web site.

Alden said Alert Carolina is using “the best of what both companies do best.”

Thanks to the change, the alert system sent nearly twice as many messages in less than half the time it took last year. About 23,000 were sent during each of last year’s dth/Tyler Benton tests, and the first messages arrived Karen McAdams of McAdams Farm explains how the donation system works at her booth.

FoodShare Challenge surpasses half-ton goal

Town-gown relations key for council candidates

By Sarah Morayati Senior Writer

As one of Chapel Hill’s largest developers and employers, the University has been in a close relationship with the Chapel Hill Town Council for decades.

But as the University continues to grow, its needs and wishes often come into conflict with those of the town.

“That’s pretty typical on any campus that’s growing,” said Linda Convissor, director of local relations for the University.

The eight candidates for four spots on the Town Council will have to address town-gown relations as they campaign for the Nov. 3 elections.

This year, the town and the University have made joint progress on several large-scale projects, including signing the development agreement for Carolina North in June after more than a decade of planning.

More recently, the UNC-Chapel Hill Foundation purchased the University Square lot, which includes Granville Towers — a decision with the potential to drastically alter the downtown area.

Most candidates agreed that town-gown relations are the closest that they have been in years, bolstered by Carolina North’s success.

But they saw room for improvement, primarily through further communication between the town and University as they move forward.

“I think that’s always the key, - From staff and wire reports whether it’s one-on-one, through

ASHEVILLE -- The participants of a statewide student leadership organization convened this weekend to work on legislation and planning, but many of the agenda items were delayed because leaders didn’t expect a good turnout.

Members of the UNCsystem Association of Student Governments, a body which comprises student leaders from each system school, met on the campus of UNC-Asheville for what turned out to be an unusually short meeting.

Association President Greg Doucette said he pulled some of the more important legislation from the agenda because participants generally have a hard time attending September meetings because of campus activities.

Doucette said he wanted to pull as much legislation as he could from consideration to prevent disaster in case the group couldn’t reach quorum.

But 14 of the 17 system institutions sent delegates to the meeting.

The association, which meets monthly and is designed to advocate for students at the state level, receives $1 from every student in the system to fund its projects and meetings.

Doucette said September is usually a low-key month, but the next two meetings in October and November will have more agenda items.

‘Opus’ captures art, Jones: No celebratory fires emotion of musicians

By Emily Banks staff writer

Student Body President Jasmin Jones has been saying for a while that basketball celebrations on Franklin Street need to change.

But after a visit to the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center on Friday, there was no doubt in her mind that celebratory bonfires have to go.

“We really need to say ‘no fires,’” she said. “Nobody wants to be the one to say it. We’ve got to say no, and that’s hard.”

Jones and Carolina Fever cochairman Desmond Rowe toured the center in order to raise fire safety awareness and discuss plans for changing UNC’s tradition of lighting bonfires on Franklin Street after significant basketball victories.

“People don’t know what it

Characters on display in play

By Lindsay Saladino Staff Writer

Playwright Michael Hollinger effectively created five distinct characters with his play “Opus” — PlayMakers Repertory Company’s first Mainstage production this year.

And the actors blew the audience away with their interpretations of these characters, bringing powerful emotional portrayals of real-life situations and relationships.

“Opus” captured the struggles of a string quartet preparing to perform one of the most esteemed pieces of music, Beethoven’s “Opus 131,” at the White House.

The cast realistically captured the artistry of what actual musicians look like performing, act like practicing and sound like arguing.

The music, which is played from a recording, added deeper meaning to the play and often helped progress the action with intros or outros to scenes.

Using a combination of monologues, full stage practices, flashbacks and two-person interactions, the play expressed the emotions and quirks of each character.

Performed on a sparse set, the play used mostly bare interiors with small touches or wardrobe changes to indicate the personalities of each character or venue.

The actors presented the play well, with the possible exception of the actress playing Grace.

True to the character that she portrayed, actress Marianne Miller seemed younger and more inexperienced than her colleagues.

But the little smirks, body movements and presence of all the actors made the audience feel as if they knew the characters personally.

The play began with three members of the original quartet deciding to hire a promising young girl, Grace, leaving the audience wondering who she was replacing and why.

The ousted member of the quartet, Dorian, also makes appearanc-

means to be burned,” said Bruce Cairns, director of the center. “And the visibility of the issue has to come from you in order to have an impact.”

Last year, eight students went to the burn center after the National Championship celebration.

Cairns met with Jones and Rowe to emphasize the long-term consequences of serious burns as well as the need for change.

“We should all be proud of our athletics,” he said. “But we need to pursue excellence the right way.”

Jones has outlined plans to implement a “safe celebrations” program, complete with beach balls, rooftop DJs and projection screens with game highlights.

These features would provide rowdy crowds with activities other than lighting fires.

Jones said she understands that

her plan might not achieve immediate success.

“It takes a long time to change a culture,” she said.

The executive branch of student government is working with other student organizations, including the Carolina Athletic Association, to publicize the plan.

Jones said she hopes she can get athletes, particularly basketball players, to support and promote her plan among the student body.

She plans to pilot the plan at the first basketball game between Duke and UNC. “I want to tap into what we love to do, like cheer and dance,” she said, “If we could get the rooftop DJ to play ‘YMCA,’ that would be awesome.”

es throughout the play.

Ray Dooley, who played Dorian, had amazing animation in his facial expressions and movements, using the entire stage.

Overall, his portrayal of the eccentric, brilliant and “buggy” musician brought true conflict to the story.

The play kept the audience analyzing the quartet and wondering with anticipation how the conflict would resolve itself.

It challenged audiences to reevaluate what matters most to them.

Through the struggles, disagreements and sexual entanglements, the conflict of the play is powerfully resolved through its emotional conclusion that will still be with audience members long after the curtain falls.

With the deadline quickly approaching, staff members at the Kenan-Flagler Business School said this year’s application process to the school’s undergraduate program will be easier for students.

The business school has made this year’s undergraduate application completely paperless in order to make the process less hectic.

But students have to submit their applications by Friday at 5 p.m., nearly a month earlier than previous deadlines.

“In previous years, students had to turn in hard copies,” said Lee May, associate director of advising and admissions for the bachelor of science in business administration program. “It used to be a frantic rush until the last day.”

Adam Glass, a sophomore applying to the business school, said the electronic application has been convenient.

“You don’t have to use all your time going back and forth to the business school, and you don’t have to worry about time constraints,” he said.

May said the application deadline was made earlier this year so the expected applicant pool of about 500 students could be informed of their admission status and receive scheduling advice

earlier.

“We want to give them an answer earlier in the spring semester so that they know their major and can pre-register earlier,” May said.

Many students said they appreciate the earlier deadline.

“Last year, people’s semesters were ruined in the aspect that you can’t drop classes and prerequisites that late in the semester,” Ray said.

Some applicants are not interviewed prior to being accepted into the undergraduate program. But May said callbacks for interviews do not necessarily indicate one’s application status.

“Sometimes we choose them because there is an inconsistency in their application,” she said.

“Sometimes we choose them because they’ve done something wonderful and we want to know more.”

Despite the easier online application, the school’s Director of Media Relations, Allison Adams, said staff members are not expecting drastic changes in the number of applicants.

May said about 300 students of approximately 500 applicants will be accepted for the fall 2010 semester. Students will be notified of their admission status on Jan. 20.

May added that about 30 of

Eating disorders in the spotlight

Durhamites learn to dance the ‘Thriller’ BY alana prettitore and Delaney Dixon

DTH ONLINE: View a video of the “Thriller” lessons by clicking this story at dailytarheel.com.

STAFF Writers

Nine-year-old Ryan Boz dressed as a young Michael Jackson on Friday, complete with red leather pants and zombie makeup. As he took the stage, he showed off his moon-walking skills and Thriller dancing ability.

Boz was the youngest performer who taught Thriller lessons Friday at the Durham store Halloween & More. Hundreds of shoppers gathered for about two hours to learn the dance, enjoy the free entertainment and get professional face painting.

The store will repeat the event Oct. 9.

“I was trying to do the dance as best as I could,” Boz said. “It felt good when I did it, and it’s probably the best dance I have ever done

by Michael Jackson.”

The infamous Thriller dance has been a staple of the Halloween franchise since Michael Jackson premiered his famous Thriller music video in 1983.

“It is a fun and different way to have a head start on the Halloween season,” said Laura Bridges, who owns Halloween & More with her husband. “Our store is a great place to do something like that.”

Bridges and her husband said they have wanted to host this event for the past three years. Because of the busy Halloween season, though, their dream did not come to fruition until this year.

“Thriller has always been an interesting party dance,” she said.

“For us, we have been playing the

song for 15 years, so it makes the most sense to do it.”

The lesson was free, and people with no dance experience were encouraged to come.

Though zombie costumes were not required, Bridges said dressing up was encouraged.

The Thriller lessons were taught

by Boz’s parents, Debbie Ramsey and Wesley Boz, who own Music and Dance Productions in Raleigh.

About 18 dance students helped to teach and performed the dance for the crowd.

Margaret Valyou, one of the performers, said it was a tribute to Michael Jackson.

Valyou and the others created their zombie costumes themselves.

“We all went to thrift stores to find clothes we would be expected to be buried in,” she said. “Then we shredded and dirtied them up by soaking them in coffee.”

The lessons were supposed to be taught on a large stage outside of the store, located in the Streets at Southpoint, but they were moved inside because of rain.

Bridges also stressed that this was an event for all ages.

“We wanted to incorporate something that involves everyone, whether you are five or 75,” Bridges said. “Music is a great connection for generations.”

A year ago, freshman Kat Norcutt only ate salads with particular toppings. Beans and peppers were acceptable. A little bit of oil could be added, but not enough to saturate her food with calories.

Norcutt, who considers herself recovered from an eating disorder, started having problems with food her junior year of high school.

They have followed her all the way to UNC. According to a poll taken by the National Eating Disorders Association in 2006, nearly 20 percent of students on college campuses in America admit to having an eating disorder.

Focused on food Norcutt said she began having body image problems around age 6. In high school, pressures to succeed led her to cope with the stress by controlling her food intake.

“I dropped 15 to 20 pounds in about three to four months,” she said. “The more calories I could burn, the better. That was my exact thought process.”

Her friends shared concerns about her rapid weight loss, but Norcutt never received professional help.

“My body actually started to shut down,” she said.

“Occasionally I’d binge on a bunch of cookies, but I’d feel selfish for taking in all of that. I felt bad for breaking my rules, and though it was totally secretive, I was still embarrassed.”

Her past problems with food still linger today.

“I’m not constantly focused on food. But if I’m really craving a piece of pizza, I still think to myself, ‘You shouldn’t be eating cheese,’” she said. dth/joseph paquette

Prevention and cures

Millie Maxwell, postdoctoral and clinical instructor at the UNC eating disorder program, has started PACE (Pathway to Awareness in College Eating) at UNC to promote general health and prevent eating disorders. The program, which began this year, is the first of its kind in the U.S. PACE offers basic nutrition information, optional anonymous chats with specialized eating disorder counselors online and a group forum to discuss relevant issues.

“The bottom line is we want to prevent and stop eating disorders, and make lives better for those who are struggling, because eating disorders are life-threatening illContact the Features Editor nesses,” Maxwell said.

Kat Norcutt, a freshman journalism major, openly discussed her struggles with her eating disorder on Thursday.

“It’s been very positive in just pointing out the fact that eating disorders are realistic by allowing the audience to interact, engage the theater and ask the hard questions,” said Ben Saypol, director of Interactive Theater Carolina.

Norcutt, who aspires to be a journalist, hopes her eating disorder days are over.

“I realized that imprisoning my eating wasn’t going to help anything else.”

outlets earlier in the week to publicize the sit-in, including The Daily Tar Heel, local television stations and The Greenville Daily Reflector.

Campus police officers are also believed to have been present at the trustee meeting.

In an e-mail sent Tuesday, ECU Student Body President Brad Congleton told his cabinet to rally students to attend the event and suggested that they use Facebook and Twitter to gather support from other student organizations.

“I know we may not win this battle, but I can promise you that after this week everyone around here will know who SGA is!” Congleton stated in the e-mail.

Congleton declined to comment on the situation.

But only eight students attended the sit-in, and the issue the students were protesting was not even discussed while the students were there, according to Student Government Association official Steven Kresch, who later denied representing the SGA. After the meeting, Kresch denied that student government organized a sit-in, although he used the term repeatedly in an interview with The Daily Tar Heel on Thursday.

Despite contacting the media prior to the event, student government officers are now either denying that a protest was ever planned or refusing to speak to the media about the issue.

According to an e-mail written

by Student Body Chief of Staff Josh Martinkovic, the student presence at the meeting was meant to show support for one particular candidate for the vacant position, Lynn Roeder, who is now the associate vice chancellor and dean of students.

Kresch said student government is now circulating a letter with signatures from various student groups, which endorses Roeder.

Carlton Purvis, news editor of The East Carolinian, said the student government might be stepping out their role by publicly endorsing a candidate for the vice provost position.

Embrace your new fall TV friends

Featured online reader comment:

“You’re lucky to have a book that tells you who to hate. Atheists don’t have that luxury.”

“JamesBond,” as part of a discussion about whether being transgendered is condemned by the bible

S

omething momentous happened to me this week.

Actually, it happened to you as well.

I am, of course, referring to the new fall season of television.

The beginning of a new season of television is an important social and personal event. New people enter our lives through these new shows, and we also get to see the same faces that have been coming back for years.

We are emotionally invested in the lives of these fictitious characters. It tugs on our heartstrings when Jim asks Pam to marry him, and we cry and laugh with real emotion because of the events in the lives of “our” characters.

In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers Jaye Derrick, Shira Gabriel and Kurt Hugenberg study feelings of loneliness and how they relate to watching a favorite TV show.

They say that people selfreport fewer feelings of loneliness when they are watching a favored TV program.

In the opinion of the researchers, we experience feelings of closeness to the characters because they act as our surrogate friends.

And I would say they do a good job. TV characters are always on time and they are always cheerful, sad or funny.

They match our expectations.

They never ask anything from us, either, so we’re free to just use them for our own benefit and then turn them off when we don’t need them anymore.

This one-sided relationship might sound unhealthy. TV is easily accessible in this technological era, and maybe if you can just see your television friends, you’ll have no need for the ones on whom you’ve relied previously.

That isn’t true though.

In my experience, television characters only really shine as surrogate friends in the hours where my real-life friends are busy or asleep.

The increased value of television friends is based on their ease of use.

In economics, price is modulated by many different considerations, but one of the most important factors is transaction cost.

Transaction costs are, as you might assume, whatever money or effort you might have to expend in the process of transportation, storage and delivery of a product.

For the purpose of this column, though, think about that Thursday night when you know you could go out to your friend’s house, but you live on South Campus and they live in an apartment off campus.

Television friends have no transaction cost. Many network Web sites legally show their own programming online and Hulu collects selected ad-supported programming from different sources.

If you have a computer, you can watch TV— and if you go to school here, you probably have a computer.

Does this mean that we should neglect our real friends so that we can hang out with Bauer, Grey and Griffin?

Definitely not.

And is there anything wrong with calling television characters our surrogate friends?

The answer is, again, a resounding “no.” Just embrace the warm feeling you get when you watch one of your favorite shows.

Your real friends will understand.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR YWC can have a minority leader and be prejudiced TO THE EDITOR: We are writing in response t o N i k h i l Pa t e l ’s l e t t e r, “From group’s president: YWC isn’t racist, radical” (Sept. 22).

He posits that since he is a nonwhite person, Youth for Western Civilization must not be a racist organization. The argument that racism cannot exist in the organization because their president is not white is flawed.

To be clear, we are not accusing anyone, least of all Mr. Patel, of being racist. In our opinion, racism implies that one group has power over another, so we realize that racism might not be the correct word to use in this case.

However, to imply that one minority cannot be prejudiced against another minority group is inherently illogical and, quite frankly, ignorant. Having one person of color representing your organization does not mean that everything that organization does is devoid of any racial prejudice.

Ultimately, if the members of YWC are racist or prejudiced is less important than what we consider the greater issue: The speakers they choose to engage have regularly been associated

with questionable, inflammatory attitudes about race.

We agree with Mr. Patel that there is more to Western civilization than white culture. If YWC truly wants to represent Western civilization, they should broaden their programming to include issues and people outside of the “anti-illegal immigration” set.

But, if YWC’s speakers series really represents Western civilization, we’re heading east.

Limited coverage of rape reports is unacceptable TO THE EDITOR: Let me start by saying my views are my own because you insist on identifying me by my staff title.

Now, as much as I want to understand the dynamic relationship between the University and the Greek system, I am much more interested in a woman being kidnapped and raped from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on Monday night.

You quoted a Chapel Hill police sergeant as saying, “Unfortunately, we’ve had a lot of sexual assaults.”

This was a blurb on page three,

right above the bottom-left headline, “Council candidates at forum debate green development.”

The Daily Tar Heel is turning out the next generation of journalists, and this is the rape coverage you offer?

As a college newspaper experiment, would you consider running all rape stories on the front page?

How would the community react to that?

You should be familiar with the impact of media coverage at this point. What will you do with that knowledge?

Liz Garner Microforms Coordinator Davis Library Editor’s note: The Daily Tar Heel followed up on the blurb Thursday with a more in-depth story in Friday’s edition.

Christianity more inclusive than Street asserts in letter TO THE EDITOR: Perhaps Grayson Street should have taken his own advice before criticizing a community of people and done a bit of research on how the Bible represents transgender people. “In the beginning” … God created the first human in God’s image, Genesis 1:27. To be created in God’s image means embody-

ing the complementary character aspects, including both the masculine and feminine energies, of the divine.

In the book of Matthew, Jesus also acknowledges the existence of gender-variant individuals, “For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven,” Matthew 19:12. This is not the only affirmation of transgender individuals in the New Testament. Indeed, in Acts 8, an Ethiopian eunuch feels unworthy upon encountering Philip.

When they came to water the eunuch said, “Look, here is water.

Why shouldn’t I be baptized?” And Philip said, “If you believe with all

your heart, then you may.” The eunuch said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God,” and they went down into the water and Philip baptized the eunuch, Acts 8:36-38. The eunuch believed in Jesus and yearned for a personal relationship with him and thus was received into the body of Christ.

So I do have to agree with Grayson, “The Bible and a personal relationship with Christ is what Christianity is based around” and remind you as a sibling in the family of Christ that “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus,” Galatians 3:28.

One group that has struggled with recognition throughout its history is the Undergraduate Art Association.

UAA president sophomore Richie Transou is working to increase membership and publicize the group’s events.

Transou said that the UAA’s greatest endeavor for the year is to have more fun and be more accessible at on-campus events.

“We want to have mini art classes, both student- and staff-led,” Transou said. “Getting into the fine arts classes at Carolina is difficult, so we want to provide an opportunity outside of class.”

Transou said the group is also focused on finding a way to sell student art as a means of promoting the organization.

Although relatively new amongst honor societies, Kappa Pi is growing quickly and hosts numerous events each semester.

Ringle said that members also volunteer in the community and attend lectures and museum tours.

If elected, he said he plans to: n Make sure that the town continues to receive transportation impact plans and other updates about Carolina North from the University. n Continue the public outreach process used by the council for Carolina North for future projects, particularly University Square, and encourage UNC students to participate in planning for development.

“I think I got the job because I talked a lot about how much I love being a Tar Heel,” she said.

Casey Noland, vice president of operations at Campus Girls USA, said the hiring process is long.

“Over 5,000 girls applied this year. After we receive the applications, a panel narrows it down to the girls that will best suit the calendar,” Noland said.

At Carrillo’s June photo shoot in the UNC Center for Dramatic Art, she and girls from nearby colleges like N.C. State University and UNC-Wilmington posed in three different outfits: a bikini, loungewear and full outfits.

“The one they chose for the calendar was my fully clothed one, which represents Carolina really well — classy,” Carrillo said.

All the models are required to sell 100 calendars at a price of $15 each before they can receive their paycheck.

“Our main target audience is mid 20-year-old men. College guys are too cheap to pay for them,” Carrillo said. “I have heard selling them while tailgating is a really good way to sell them. So far, I’ve gone to fraternities and sold the majority of mine there.”

Schools note success, Churches make plans set higher standards for swine flu infections

By Jake Filip Staff Writer

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools achieved almost all of its academic goals last year, but district officials said they have a lot of work to do with black, Latino and economically disadvantaged students.

The district released its first of five annually issued report cards Sept. 17 detailing its plan to improve educational proficiency.

Graduation rates for black students have improved almost 10 percent, and proficiency levels in reading and math have increased since last year.

“We are aware of these rates and are not satisfied,” said Denise Bowling, assistant superintendent for instructional service. “We have set ourselves with higher targets for next year.”

The school district board implemented the District Strategic Plan in 2008 to raise standards and education quality. The plan has goals of higher graduation rates, better

technologically equipped facilities and higher levels of student growth and achievement.

The system met many benchmark requirements for the year.

“We have had a lot of growth, especially by the number of students enrolling in algebra one this year,” Bowling said.

But district staff were concerned with the performance of ethnic and economic subgroups. n The four-year graduation rate for black students increased to 72.4 percent from 64 percent, but fell short of the 88.3 percent rate of all students. n The graduation rate for Latino students decreased from 68 percent to 67.7 percent, but math and reading proficiency rates in elementary school rose by more than 10 percent. n Only 24.8 percent of black students completed a year of world language in middle school, compared to 54.9 percent for all students. n Although a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged

students graduated, the district fell short of its goal of 67.6 percent.

Bowling said the district is working with students to ensure they are engaged in school, as well as working with problems beginning in middle school.

By 2013, the school board seeks to reach 100 percent levels of normal and superior growth in areas like math and reading proficiency, and plans to graduate 100 percent of its students.

Superintendent Neil Pedersen said that in hopes to improve its graduation rates, the district has initiated tutoring and mentor programs to retain its ninth graders.

“Successfully completing the ninth grade is fairly critical to ultimately graduating in four years,” he said. “There is a focus on providing students support in ninth grade and providing support for students in trouble with their courses.”

At the start of each service at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, the pastor places bottles of hand sanitizer at the end of each aisle.

Members hand the bottles down rows to use before they pass around communion bread.

Holy Trinity’s Mark Coulter is one pastor in the area taking extra precautions to prevent the spread of swine flu in his congregation.

Churches around Chapel Hill are stocking up on sanitizer and encouraging members to not come to church if they are sick.

Earlier last month, Coulter tried placing communion bread in each person’s mouth instead of having the congregation do it themselves.

“But it was too awkward,” said senior Anna Gustaveson, Lutheran Campus Ministry president.

Coulter said he switched to sanitizer because of the high risk of spreading swine flu.

“We share coffee, meals and Contact the City Editor communion, though the students at citydesk@unc.edu. have been far more diligent about

using the hand sanitizer,” he said.

There have only been two cases of H1N1 in the student congregation of about 60.

Gustaveson said in both instances, the sick students stayed away from the church until they recovered.

University Presbyterian Church appointed a task force more than a year ago to set policies regarding pandemics.

The idea came to the Rev. Bob Dunham after he had a conversation with UNC’s provost, who was creating an epidemic response plan for the University.

Because of this, Dunham presented the idea to church members, who then hired a task force of health officials to create the plan.

“The plan follows a phased approach so that as a pandemic is declared, we respond in an appropriate manner,” he said.

In the event that the outbreak is so bad classes are canceled, the church will plan to cancel services for several weeks, Dunham said.

If services are canceled, Dunham said members can visit the Web

site, which includes up-to-date sermons to use for worship.

For now, members are encouraged to wash their hands, use hand cleansers and stay home if they show any symptoms.

But pandemic planning isn’t the answer for all churches.

Associate pastor Suzanne Dornsmith at the University United Methodist Church said they believe taking serious prevention steps may interfere with the church’s sacred traditions. They have decided to wait until after the pandemic worsens to take serious action.

“We don’t want to sanitize our worship,” Dornsmith said.

She said actions like shaking hands and hugging are important to the worship process. It is the responsibility of the sick to avoid spreading the germs to others, Dornsmith said.

“We have to remember that God’s presence is somehow working through this,” she said.

The Daily Tar Heel

Tar Heels excel on set plays

By Mark Thompson Senior Writer

Kelsey Kolojejchick stood, patiently waiting on the right side of the striking circle for her team’s penalty corner.

The play began to play out on the field precisely as it had played out in her mind during practice — until Duke goalie Samantha Nelson blocked the shot.

But Kolojejchick stepped in and tipped the ball over Nelson’s left shoulder of for the score.

North Carolina’s freshman midfielder did it again on the following penalty corner attempt.

“It’s her style and I think that last year we had players in that spot, and we couldn’t get much production out of it,” coach Karen Shelton said.

“Kelsey’s come in and been able to produce both in scoring just from our initial option to that side and also on rebounds.”

Kolojejchick, a freshman midfielder, led the No. 2 UNC in scoring with her two goals, but it was what she did in the open field that was most impressive.

She was constantly pushing the ball downfield. If someone else took it from her, she was likely going to get it back. “ I h a t e l o s i n g t h e b a l l ,” Kolojejchick said. “It gets me really frustrated, so I just do what I can to get it back every time.”

And Kolojejchick got the ball back almost every time she was dispossessed, and if she didn’t, she poked it to a teammate.

She outhustled her opponents and turned those opportunities into transition offense.

“I think she’s a winner,” Shelton said. “She’s a kid that you want on your team. She’s hungry. She’s aggressive. She’s fast. She plays

Freshman Kelsey Kolojejchick continued her hot early-season start with two goals against Duke. Kolojejchick has tallied 12 goals on the season. with confidence. She wins a lot of fifty-fifty balls.”

Kolojejchick played with full confidence against the rival Blue Devils in a game that she described as both exciting and nerve-racking.

But those nerves were suppressed with each goal UNC piled on.

“We have great leadership,” Kolojejchick said. “They told us before, you know we always prep in the beginning of the game, and they said, ‘This is our rivalry, this is our house. We gotta take it to them’. And clearly, we did.”

Kolojejchick has taken it to opponents herself as well.

Ten games into the season, Kolojejchick is second on the team in points. She’s put in 12 goals, while adding five assists.

So it should come as no surprise that, thus far, she’s lived up to the hype as one of the top

Freshmen e≠orts led

by Brooks, Daly, Rich Underclassmen play a big role By grant fitzgerald Staff Writer

On a squad laden with experienced upperclassmen, the North Carolina women’s soccer team is getting a boost from some talented young guns.

Against rival Duke on Thursday, freshman Alyssa Rich scored the game winner in overtime, her second game-winner of the year. On Sunday, she struck again to cap off a 4-0 victory over Wake Forest.

“Alyssa Rich is a goal scorer,” coach Anson Dorrance said.

“Here’s this freshman who already has two game-winning goals in nine games; I mean how many times can a freshman claim that in this sport?”

Freshman goalkeeper Hannah Daly, midfielder Amber Brooks and forward Rich all started against Duke on Thursday in the biggest game of their young careers.

For Daly, the Duke game was the first start of her career in goal, but she insists that the magnitude of that game didn’t get to her head.

“I was just playing for fun,” Daly said. “When I play for fun I am just able to relax more and play calm.”

On Sunday against No. 7 Wake Forest, Daly looked composed as she recorded the first shutout of her career.

“In high school, I could just run in there and dominate the players,” Daly said.

“Now I am getting pushed around and I have to go all out for every cross or else someone is going to come and take me out.”

The biggest hurdle for Brooks has been keeping up with the speed of the college game.

“There is a big difference in the speed of the game,” Brooks said.

“Those of us who played for the national team, its a little easier, but overall the speed is a lot faster in college.”

Rich reflected the same feelings.

“The speed is still a whole different level when you come to college,” Rich said. “We have had to adjust but we’re getting here.”

Dorrance, however, believes that the rookies have already arrived.

The veteran coach praised Brooks’ technical ability on the ball and mentioned freshman midfielder Ranee Premji as another talented

At Wyoming Seminary, she was a three-time All-American and an all-region selection. She was even honored as the National High School Coaches Association Senior Athlete of the Year for field hockey.

And most recently, she’s been involved with the national team as a member of the U-21 squad.

But even without these accolades, it’s Kolojejchick’s start to the season that has garnered notice from teammates and coaches alike.

“She doesn’t play like a freshman,” Shelton said. “So I’m just so proud of her for playing as hard as she does and having the success that she’s had early in her career.”

National and World News Conservatives win German elections

US wants access to nuclear plant

Afghanistan still in need of troops

FRANKFURT, G ermany (MCT) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative bloc appeared to have won the most votes in Sunday’s national election and was likely to form a center-right coalition government with a smaller pro-business party.

M e r k e l ’s c o n s e r v a t i v e Christian Democratic Union and its southern sister party the Christian Social Union won 33.9 percent of the vote, while the probusiness Free Democratic Party captured 14.7 percent of the vote, according to the early projections

by German television ARD. The center-left Social Democrats won 23.1 percent of the vote, one of the party’s worst showings in its history, ARD projected. The Green Party captured 10.5 percent of the vote and the Left Party got 12.1 percent, according to ARD projections.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The U.S. and its allies plan to demand that Iran provide “unfettered access” to scientists and information regarding an underground uranium enrichment plant that is suspected of being part of a secret nuclear weapons program, an Obama administration official said Saturday.

A deadline for the access has not been determined, but Iran likely would have to comply within weeks, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The U.S. is working with five other nations on a response to the disclosure that Tehran was building the facility deep in a mountain on an Iranian military base near the city of Qom. President Barack Obama denounced the facility in Pittsburgh on Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO (MCT) — In a sharp rebuke to growing calls for a timeline or time limit, Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned Sunday that setting a deadline for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan would be a mistake that could lead to a disastrous defeat for the U.S. “The notion of timelines and exit strategies and so on, frankly, I think would all be a strategic mistake,” Gates said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

“The reality is, failure in Afghanistan would be a huge setback for the United States.”

But some congressional Democrats are uneasy about the ongoing eight-year military campaign there. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said she takes issue with the relatively open-ended nature of America’s role in the fighting, according to the Associated Press.

“I’m behind the offense, but to be honest, they’ve got to help us some,” defensive end Robert Quinn said.

“But if they couldn’t get it done, we should’ve put it on our shoulders and went out there and try to keep them from scoring so many.”

Maryland coach Sasho Cirovski was particularly moved by Tangney’s goal, since Tangney had been sidelined for two years with torn ACLs. “With all that he has been through, I rarely talk about a single player after a game, but you have a gulp in your throat when he scored that goal and had that celebration because you know what he’s gone through,” Cirovski said. “He’s made of the best stuff on earth.”

North Carolina will face Radford Tuesday in Radford, Va. UNC’s next home game is against Virginia on Saturday.

For much of the game, North Carolina’s defense did manage to keep Georgia Tech out of the endzone and off the scoreboard.

But the drastic difference in time of possession (42:06 for Ga. Tech, 17:54 for UNC) combined with UNC’s missed field goal at the end of the first half meant that any comeback attempt was too little,

too late.

the game.

Reigning ACC player of the year Jonathan Dwyer led the way for Ga. Tech with 158 rushing yards, and Nesbitt rushed for two touchdowns and 97 yards.

UNC’s offense didn’t do its defense any favors. The Tar Heels’ longest drive took just a little more than four minutes off the clock, and the rest of their drives lasted fewer than two and a half minutes, leading to the large disparity in time of possession.

Even after UNC scored to bring the game to within 10 points, the defense still couldn’t solve the triple-option.

Ga. Tech responded to North Carolina’s lone touchdown with a 17-play drive to grind out the clock, and Nesbitt sealed the game with a one-yard touchdown run.

“It’s really just being key on

your assignments,” defensive end Robert Quinn said. “When one person missed their assignment or didn’t get down in time to make the tackle, they could pick up so many yards.”

The Yellow Jackets’ rushing output dropped the ranking of UNC’s rushing defense to fifth in the conference.

The Tar Heels’ rushing yardage allowed per game more than doubled to 118.5 after Ga. Tech’s assault.

“We knew it was going to be a knock-out, drag-out game,” Austin said. “It doesn’t feel good to lose at all. I don’t care how it’s done.

“We didn’t execute as good as we should and as good as we have been in previous weeks.”

“She plays like a coach; her game is nothing but technique and tactics,” Dorrance said.

“I love having her on my roster.”

With senior midfielder Nikki Washington injured and goalie Ashlyn Harris and midfielder Tobin Heath traveling with the national team, the freshmen have been granted opportunities to play pivotal roles on this team and have delivered in major fashion.

Brooks has made her way into the starting lineup with her strong play in the midfield, Rich and Premji have excelled as offensive reserves and Daly has become the No. 2 goalie option.

But Daly credits her transition on the pitch to her teammates.

“The best training you could possibly get,” Daly said of practicing with UNC’s übertalented roster.

“I know that when I get into these big games today that I’m ready because I am facing the best talent in the world.”

North Carolina struggled in all facets of the game. The Tar Heel rushing attack only managed 17 yards on 18 carries. The passing game wasn’t much better — with 137 yards in the air. On defense, UNC couldn’t get off the field, as Ga. Tech held the ball for 42 minutes.

By Powell Latimer Sports Editor

ATLANTA — Offensive tackle Kyle Jolly summed it up: “It’s a tough loss, just because they beat our ass so well.”

He quickly apologized for his language, but Jolly’s comments were a succinct — and accurate — assessment of Georgia Tech’s 24-7 shellacking of North Carolina on Saturday.

On its first offensive possession, Ga. Tech (3-1, 2-1) rammed an 88-yard scoring drive down UNC’s throat for the first touchdown of the game.

“It’s nothing scheme-wise or anything like that,” linebacker Bruce Carter said.

“They just came to play, and we didn’t.”

All told, the Yellow Jackets racked up 317 yards on the ground and three rushing touchdowns.

Coming off an impressive offensive performance against East Carolina, UNC’s attack stagnated in the face of Georgia Tech’s defense.

For the third straight game, the Tar Heels opened with a three-and-out possession, and T.J. Yates completed only one pass in the first quarter — a dump-off to Shaun

Draughn.

Yates came into the game completing almost 70 percent of his passes but couldn’t find the mark in Atlanta. Yates went 11-of-26 with two interceptions. While freshman Erik Highsmith had another 100-yard receiving game with six catches, many of Yates’ throws were behind receivers or in the dirt.

“Certainly early, balls were behind guys or short of guys,” Davis said. “And then all of a sudden you start pressing a little bit, you try to make a throw.”

Yates couldn’t find anything close to a break Saturday. Under pressure in the second quarter, Yates lofted a pass toward open freshman wideout Jheranie Boyd, who could have easily corralled it.

But Boyd wasn’t aware that the pass was coming, and the ball fell just feet in front

of him.

In the second quarter, with the Tar Heels driving into Georgia Tech territory for the first time all game, a miscommunication with center Cam Holland sent the snap past Yates when he wasn’t looking, and Georgia Tech recovered the loose ball.

And Yates got precious little help from the UNC running game. Draughn entered Saturday’s matchup as the No. 3 rusher in the ACC, but managed only 26 yards on seven carries. Ryan Houston gained 24 yards on six carries.

For the game, UNC had 18 rushes for 17 yards, and Davis only had to hear that statistic repeated to him once before interjecting.

“Our effectiveness on first-and-ten on offense was disastrous because on every single possession it seemed like it was second-and 10, second-and-nine, second-and 11,” Davis said. “That’s just no recipe to play well offensively.”

UNC’s first four possessions lasted only three plays, and three more had four or fewer plays.

UNC overwhelmed by Ga. Tech’s option attack

By David Reynolds Sportsaturday Editor

ATLANTA — It was supposed to be a battle of strengths.

No. 22 North Carolina arrived in Atlanta with the ACC’s No. 1 rushing defense — largely due to the might of its veteran front seven — while Georgia Tech boasted the conference’s top rushing attack.

But 317 rushing yards and more than 42 minutes of time of possession later, the Yellow Jackets were the only ones flexing their muscles.

“It can wear you down a lot, especially … when they throw out new stuff,” linebacker Bruce Carter said after UNC’s 24-7 defeat.

“Their offense is projected to be a smashand-dash, old school offense, and it can wear you down, especially when you don’t know where you’re going.”

It only took one drive for Ga. Tech (3-1, 2-1) to eclipse the 52.3 rushing yards per game that the Tar Heels (3-1, 0-1) had been

allowing before Saturday’s contest.

The Yellow Jackets’ triple-option play confounded North Carolina’s defensive front on Ga. Tech’s first possession with nine rushes for 88 yards, and Ga. Tech quarterback Josh Nesbitt only had to drop back once to pass.

“We couldn’t stay up on our feet. They do a lot of cutting and stuff like that,” defensive tackle Marvin Austin said. “We’re supposed to get 11 guys to the ball carrier every time, and we weren’t tackling well at all.”

A-back Roddy Jones finished off the drive with a nifty cutback on a quick pitch from 13 yards out, giving Ga. Tech a 7-0 lead it would not relinquish.

That early touchdown, coupled with the UNC offense’s inability to muster any points until the fourth quarter, gave the run-heavy Yellow Jackets a distinct advantage.

“All four phases of their offense are in play

See Triple-Option, Page 9

No. 2 North Carolina gave two clinics at Henry Stadium on Saturday afternoon: a free one for kids following a costly one for Duke.

The Tar Heels scored in the opening moments of the game and did not relent, tallying five goals in the first half en route to a 7-0 victory against the Blue Devils. The game was UNC’s first ACC win of the season.

Duke’s loss, meanwhile, is their second in conference play, slotting them in last place in the ACC. Freshman Kelsey Kolojejchick netted her 11th and 12th goals of the season for the Tar Heels, while five other UNC players added a goal of their own for the Tar Heels, who outshot the Blue Devils 23-3.

North Carolina (10-0, 1-0) wasted no time in applying pressure to the Blue Devils’ defense, driving into the Duke shooting circle and drawing a penalty corner just 66 seconds into the game.

Senior Melanie Brill took the corner feed and launched a low shot, which freshman Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany deflected into the top of the goal to give the Tar Heels an early 1-0 lead and ease many of the nerves generated by the rivalry match-up. “(An early goal) takes all kinds of pressure off,” coach Karen Shelton said. “We wanted to have a quick start, and the fact that we executed the corner that we called perfectly just let our team play with some more flow.”

Radvany’s goal was the first of five penalty corner conversions in the game for the Tar Heels, continuing a season-long trend of strong execution on the set piece.

“It’s a free shot on goal, so it’s great when it works,” senior Dani Forword said of the penalty corner.

“We have confidence in our penalty corners, that we can actually get a goal from it.”

After drawing first blood, the Tar Heels remained hungry, testing Duke goalkeeper Samantha Nelson several times before drawing a second penalty corner.

Brill again fired a shot on net off the corner play, but this time, her shot struck Duke defender Rhian

Jones.

The ball ricocheted off Jones and directly onto the stick of Kolojejchick, who slapped it out of the air and into the net to double the Tar Heels’ advantage.

Kolojejchick, who is stationed at the back post for the penalty corner, has made a habit of tallying garbage goals off the corner this season.

“Kelsey’s come in and been able to produce, both in scoring just from our initial option to that side, and also on rebounds,” Shelton said.

The Tar Heels added goals on unassisted efforts from Charlotte Verstraten and Katelyn Falgowski, as well as another rebound goal from Kolojejchick, which pushed the margin to 5-0 at halftime.

Forword and Brill each added goals off penalty corners after the break to establish the final score.

After the game, UNC players and coaches laughed and smiled as they put on a brief skills clinic for children, while the Blue Devils headed somberly home to Durham.

“Anybody that’s associated with Carolina understands the Duke rivalry, so it’s an awfully sweet win for our team and our program to play as well as we did in the first 35 minutes and come away with such a convincing, decisive victory,” Shelton said.

By Jordan Mason Senior Writer

After a 2-1 overtime win against injury-riddled Duke, North Carolina head coach Anson Dorrance wondered if his team was going to be able to have the same success against a healthy Wake Forest team.

His concerns were alleviated early Sunday.

The No. 1 Tar Heels (9-0-1) scored early and often in a 4-0 victory against the No. 7 Demon Deacons (8-2-0) Sunday that lifted them to a 2-0 record to open conference play.

“I thought today we came out a lot harder and stronger and then played a lot quicker and faster and then finished some chances,” Dorrance said. “It’s really been kind of lackluster the past three

Sunday’s first half was a complete reversal from the first half against Duke.

Freshman midfielder Amber Brooks headed the second corner kick of the game to junior midfielder Ali Hawkins for a header that put UNC on the board first in the 12th minute of the game Sunday.

The Tar Heels did not score until the 83rd minute against the Blue Devils.

Hawkins’ header was the first of two Tar Heel goals scored in the first half as they dominated offensively.

The team had 18 shots, compared to eight by Wake Forest, and controlled the ball from the opening whistle.

Hawkins had an assist to go with her goal, and senior defender Whitney Engen had a goal and two assists.

The Tar Heels established a nice rhythm early despite missing starters Tobin Heath and Ashlyn Harris for the second consecutive game due to commitments with the U.S. national team.

Starter Nikki Washington is out indefinitely after tearing her ACL against Louisiana State.

Engen said these absences were not lost on her teammates Thursday.

“Going into the first half of Duke, we were a little tentative,” she said. “We were missing four players that we were used to having start for us. That’s always really difficult because it’s difficult to get a rhythm.

“Today people came in with a mentality that it needed to be done, and everybody stepped up and played their role.”

“It’s going to be huge,” she said.

“We’ve picked up our level to see how we can just all meld together and, hopefully get even better than we were at the beginning of the season.”

But while the team expects to benefit from the return of its starters, it will be up to Dorrance to put them in the position to do so.
