WINSTON-SALEM — With less than a minute to play, and a national championship hanging in the balance, North Carolina field hockey coach Karen Shelton went to her money player.

And Dani Forword cashed in.

The senior captain took junior Katelyn Falgowski’s penalty corner feed and drilled a shot into the back of the cage with 11.7 seconds remaining to give the North Carolina field hockey team (20-2) a 3-2 victory against Maryland and the program’s sixth NCAA Championship.

“Melanie Brill on my left just kept repeating out loud, ‘I believe in you, I believe in you, I believe in you,’ even when they were rushing out just before I took that shot,” Forword said of her game winner.

“There’s nothing like knowing that your teammates really need this and that they do believe in you, and I don’t know what it was that came over me, but it went in.”

Forword’s goal provided a fitting conclusion to a game chock full of drama.

From the outset, Maryland (23-1) appeared to have the upper hand, yet none of the Terrapins’ eight first-half shots could get past Tar Heel keeper Jackie Kintzer, who culminated her impressive postseason performance by making five saves in the opening stanza to keep Maryland off the scoreboard.

Seven minutes into the second half, Maryland finally converted, generating a 2-on-1 fast break opportunity that resulted in a Nicole Muracco goal to take a 1-0 lead.

Down a goal against the nation’s top-ranked team, the Tar Heels drew encouragement from the words of inspiration delivered earlier by senior Riley Foster during the halftime break. “(Riley said) it’s her last 35 minutes, and she’s going to do everything she can on the field, and that just gave us extra motivation,” senior Illse Davids said.

With fewer than 10 minutes remaining in their collegiate careers, two of Foster’s fellow seniors took her words to heart.

As Maryland attempted to clear the ball from its half, Brill dove to the ground, managing to get her stick on the ball and send it back in the shooting circle to Forword.

goals by Dani Forword in the game’s final 10 minutes national titles for North Carolina with Sunday’s win

Senior Forword nets late title-winning goal

By Mark Thompson Senior Writer

WINSTON-SALEM — Dani Forword said North Carolina would win the national championship — a week before it did.

After defeating Wake Forest to advance to the final four, the senior forward ultimately predicted her team’s win against Maryland.

“This is where we are going to win the national championship,” she said.

One week later, it was Forword who would fulfill her own prophecy against a Maryland team that hadn’t even sniffed defeat this season.

Forword scored a game-tying goal and later stole the victory with just 11 seconds left on the clock.

“She’s a money player,” UNC coach

Karen Shelton said. “You can count on a player like that. She’s so offensive minded and she’s a goal-scorer.

She’s a natural goal-scorer.”

Forword displayed that natural ability with the game-clinching goal against Maryland.

The play came after North Carolina forced a penalty corner in the final minute of the 2-2 game.

The Tar Heels hadn’t scored once on a penalty corner in that game — an area in which they usually excel — but this one was different.

“I was struggling a lot in the first half from nerves, and the adrenaline was eating up my energy too,” Forword said.

But in this moment, amid the deafening screams of the crowd, Forword

heard four calm, reassuring words from her teammates around her: “I believe in you.”

The Tar Heels continued to repeat that message.

Then the play commenced.

UNC junior midfielder Katelyn Falgowski stopped freshman back Caitlyn Van Sickle’s pass smoothly with her stick and left the rest up to Forword.

The Maryland corner defenders charged out of the net to stop the shot while Forword, with her teammates’ words still resonating in her head, took a powerful step to the ball and drilled it. Like a missile, the ball sailed past the Maryland defenders and goalkeeper to

NICHOLAS NICKLeBY

Epic ‘Nickleby’ powerfully How to survive a gives life to Dickens’ work 7-hour performance O

By Katy Doll Arts Editor

From the dark gloom of London’s slums to the cheer of a traveling theater company, PlayMakers Repertory Company breathes life into every scene of its epic play “Nicholas Nickleby.”

The production is presented in two parts, spanning six and a half hours in total.

The fantastic cast flexed their artistic muscle, as 25 actors portrayed 150 characters.

From the beginning, the stage provided a bleak, powerful setting for the story. Using different colored lights, such as red to highlight a traumatic scene and orange to highlight the seedy criminal areas of town, the stage effectively conveyed multiple locations with only a few changes.

Justin Adams was an excellent Nicholas Nickleby, portraying all

of the character’s emotions perfectly. In one particular scene, he switched from a dark dramatic mood to a cheerful narration to the crowd in a split second, displaying his versatility.

Saturday’s showing included Part 1 at 2 p.m. and Part 2 at 7:30 p.m.

Justin Adams, right, performs as Nicholas Nickleby in the play from PlayMakers Repertory Company.

n a good night, I get 7 hours of sleep, so the idea of watching a play for that long was rather daunting.

But “Nicholas Nickleby,” the two-part play presented in a three-and-a-half hour and threehour block, proved worth my Saturday afternoon.

Part 1 was lively, with many funny scenes and only one intermission. Though the show started nearly 30 minutes after its scheduled time because of the eternal challenge to find parking on campus, I rarely found myself checking my watch or itching to stretch.

A two-hour break between Part 1 and Part 2 allowed me to leave the theater and find some food.

But this break was too long for me.

When I returned to my seat in the Paul Green Theatre, I was feeling disconnected from the first half.

During Part 2, I felt the fatigue

Though Part 2 contained some of the more gripping scenes, I was also glad for the complementary coffee I had snagged before the show began. PlayMakers Repertory Company also set up a bistro dining opportunity at the theater, but not everyone participated.

There is only one more opportunity to see the show all in one day, Dec. 19. But I think watching

Man marries video game girlfriend

O

From staff and wire reports

ne man has found his true love through his other true love — video games. The man, who calls himself SAL9000, fell in love and married a virtual woman, who he met through the Nintendo DS video game “Love Plus.” In this game, players take virtual girls on dates and take steps to make them happy just as they would in real life. If they don’t do so, the game will restart after 100 days.

The man took his Nintendo DS to Guam where he was married to the fictional woman, called Nene Anegasaki, in an official public ceremony. The happy couple then stayed in Guam for their honeymoon.

Maybe playing The Sims wasn’t such a waste of time after all.

NOTED. A man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport last week for smuggling goods — lizards, to be exact.

U.S. Customs agents detained Michael Plank, 40, because he had 15 live lizards — geckos, skinks and monitor lizards — stuffed into his money belt. Plank was returning from a trip to Australia, where reptiles are strictly regulated.

The lizards are valued at $8,500.

Two selected as Rhodes scholars Longino, Spelman headed to Oxford

BY Kevin Kiley University Editor

Seniors Libby Longino and Henry Spelman didn’t exactly hit it off when they met as freshmen in a poetry writing class.

“I didn’t really notice Libby, and she thought I was pretentious,” Spelman said.

Friends said Longino would come home after class and talk about a guy who the rest of the class couldn’t relate to.

“His poems were filled with all these references to ancient philosophers,” Longino said. “I was like, please, write something accessible to someone else.”

That was before they met up about two years later in Turkey while conducting research and before the talks over coffee about philosophy and literature. It was also before they started dating.

And it was long before Saturday,

when they were both selected to receive the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship.

They will join 30 other Americans who will have full tuition, board and living expenses covered for two or three years of study at Oxford University. The scholarship is valued at an average of $50,000 a year.

Longino, a public policy and English double major, will use her scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in forced migration, an issue she has dealt with extensively during her four years at UNC. She has traveled to Taiwan, Bosnia and South Africa working with human trafficking.

“She’s really had a quite deep and impressive commitment to that topic, and she has shown an extraordinary capacity for leadership,” said Pete Andrews, chairman of the public policy department and faculty adviser to the Roosevelt

Institute, where Longino serves as the president.

Longino was partly responsible for restructuring the organization in the last few years, a move that helped UNC’s branch win recognition as “chapter of the year” this semester.

Spelman, a classics major with a minor in creative writing, will pursue a master’s degree in Greek and Latin at Oxford. He hopes to one day be a professor.

“He is the consummate academic,” said senior Thomas Edwards, who has known Spelman since they were freshmen. “But beyond that he’s just a really personable guy.

“He’s the kind of guy you can meet at a bar and just talk to.”

Spelman’s academic work with Greek and Latin earned him two of UNC’s highest honors last year.

“He has a real love, a deep profound love, of his subject,” said classics professor William Race, who has taught Spelman in three classes.

Outside of the classics, Spelman has done extensive work with the

United Nations High Commission on Refugees. He has traveled to Tanzania twice to work with displaced people at refugee camps. He is also editor of the The Cellar Door, the campus literary magazine, and a member of Chi Psi fraternity.

Spelman said this odd blend of interests and talents — a quality friends referred to as “endearingly bizarre” — helped him in the selection process.

“I don’t think they get many squash-playing classics majors who do refugee work,” he said.

Both Longino and Spelman are Morehead-Cain Scholars, and both said they wouldn’t be where they were if it weren’t for the scholar-

ship, which helped bring them to UNC and funded their travels.

Friends said the two complement each other well and push each other to succeed.

While they went through the Rhodes selection process together, the two said they rarely talked to each other about it until the end.

“You don’t have to mention the fact that it’s on your mind,” Spelman said.

Longino agreed.

“The time we were together was the time we didn’t have to talk about it.”

impairments and need total care, while other need much less support,” she said. “The best programs provide support that depends on the unique level of the person.”

Foy said a town mental health task force, which completed its work in June, found a gap in services in Chapel Hill.

“We know that services, including housing and an array of other services, are needed and are lacking, not just in Chapel Hill, but around the state,” Foy said.

Meadowmont resident Yvonne Mendenhall said the community would be convenient for the residents.

“Meadowmont is such a great place for it, with bus stops and shopping so close,” she said.

UNC could reconsider its relationship with Russell Athletic after the company announced plans last week to rehire workers — an action for which several students have advocated since last year.

T h e c o m p a ny i s r e h i r i n g the 1,200 local workers it displaced when it closed a factory in Honduras in January. The workers had recently unionized.

Almost 100 universities, including UNC in March, suspended licensing agreements that allowed Russell Athletic to use their logos on clothing and merchandise.

If officials decide to act on the news, UNC’s decision could be reconsidered in March.

“It’s not a full-blown conclusion what we would do at that time,” said Dwayne Pinkney, associate vice chancellor for finance and administration at UNC and a member of the licensing labor code advisory committee.

The pressure to suspend the agreements, including at UNC, came mostly from student groups, who picketed and wrote letters to their university administrators.

UNC students protested at the licensing committee meeting the month before the University ended its contract, citing a lack of compliance with UNC’s labor code.

UNC earned $61,274 in 200708 from its contract with Russell Athletic. Total revenue from licensing agreements in that time was $3.6 million.

Although several calls to Russell Athletic for comment on why the factory opened were unanswered, several people who voiced opposition to the company’s treatment of workers said universities’ suspended agreements prompted the company’s actions.

S o m e a r e c a l l i n g Ru s s e l l Athletic’s decision the biggest student-led labor rights victory so far.

“It’s pretty amazing. This has not ever happened before on this scale,” said Dida El-Sourady, a UNC senior on the student board of the Worker Rights Consortium, a national nonprofit agency that monitors factory conditions.

El-Sourady and other students urged the UNC system to boycott Russell. UNC-Asheville and N.C. State University also boycotted the company.

“Twelve hundred people are getting their jobs back, and these people had been blacklisted for their union activity,” El-Sourady said. “We can really make a huge impact.”

In a statement released Tuesday, Russell also said that it plans to cooperate with the workers.

Russell originally cited the economic climate as its reason for closing the factory and said it would be financially impossible for them to reopen, said United Students Against Sweatshops national organizer Jack Mahoney.

“Actually it was viable, it was just a matter of will,” Mahoney said.

State briefs

ASG creates resolution in opposition of tuition hikes Student leaders from across the state resolved this weekend to oppose the state-mandated tuition increases for the 2010-11 school year.

The Association of Student Governments passed a resolution at its meeting Saturday at Appalachian State University urging the state legislature to repeal the 8 percent or $200 tuition increase it passed in August.

The resolution says that if the tuition increase can’t be repealed, the funds raised should go back to the schools, rather than the state’s budget, as is the plan now.

The association is composed of student body presidents and delegations from each of the system schools and is charged with representing the students to the state legislature and the UNC-system Board of Governors.

The resolution also stated that the N.C. General Assembly should approve the tuition rates recommended by the Board of Governors, which considers and votes on each of the campuses’ recommendations.

Runners joke around on the starting line Saturday before the second Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education. The proceeds from the race benefited the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Fund, First Book and Frank Porter Graham Elementary School in Chapel Hill.

RUNNING WITH SPIRIT Eve Carson Memorial 5K draws 1,500 to run

BY Mary Withers Staff Writer

Many of the 1,500 participants at the Eve Carson Memorial 5K for Education on Saturday had never met the former UNC student body president the event is named for.

But afterward, runners said they felt connected to her nonetheless.

“I’ve always wanted to meet Eve Carson,” said freshman Austin Shaw. “Everyone out here in good spirit is the closest thing to that.”

The race was held not only to honor Carson’s life but also to benefit the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Fund, nonprofit First Book and Frank Porter Graham Elementary School in Chapel Hill.

Junior Lauren-Kelly Devine, the race’s codirector, said the race drew nearly 1,500 participants — an increase of about 500 runners from last year — and raised nearly $27,000 from pre-registrations and donations alone.

She said additional money was raised through a silent auction, race-day registrants, a benefit week and the Blank Canvas show.

The race began on Cameron Avenue in front of the Old Well before heading to Franklin Street and South Campus.

Runners finished at Polk Place in front of South Building.

Organizers said holding the race in the heart of campus tied it to Carson’s legacy.

“I think keeping her legacy alive is a big part of the event,” said senior Elizabeth

Lamb, who helped organize the race.

Two-thirds of the proceeds benefit the Eve Marie Carson Memorial Junior-Year Merit Scholarship. The scholarship was created to honor Carson and her efforts to create a junior-year scholarship before she was shot to death March 5, 2008.

The other third is split between First Book, a nonprofit organization that gives books to preschoolers in low-income families, and the Frank Porter Elementary School for literacy initiatives and technological development.

Carson volunteered at the elementary school as part of the INSPIRE program, which encourages young students to pursue science.

First Book and the elementary school also are the beneficiaries of Pi Beta Phi sorority and Phi Delta Theta fraternity, which sponsored the race.

The event also featured a performance by the Clef Hangers and a message from American Idol contestant Anoop Desai.

Other speakers included members of the UNC community who knew Carson, and Elinor Benami, the first Carson scholar.

Sophomore Alison Coppock said the race preserves Carson’s spirit.

“It continues her legacy, and her dreams live on through it,” Coppock said.

Charlie Hicks, the race’s co-director, said

“We want to take it a step beyond, to continue to build on this event and not lose the legacy of Eve.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Housing option proposed for disabled

BY Kelly Poe staff writer

Advocates for the developmentally disabled hope to house them through a new residential project proposed for Meadowmont.

The Arc of Orange County, a nonprofit advocacy group, will submit an application for funding the project this month, Executive Director Robin Baker wrote in an e-mail to Mayor Kevin Foy. The project would satisfy a need for housing for the developmentally disabled in Chapel Hill, Foy said.

If approved, the application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development would fund an eight-unit apartment complex on land in the Meadowmont community, donated by East West Partners.

“That was a parcel in - From staff and wire reports. Meadowmont that was definitely to

be used for community service, and the Arc came to us with a need. We think it’s a wonderful use of the site,” said Roger Perry, East West Partners president and a member of the UNC Board of Trustees. “We are more than delighted to be working with them on it.”

The apartments could provide services for its tenants, including employment assistance, budgeting, menu planning, shopping and other daily activities, Baker wrote in the e-mail.

The tenants in these units would pay no more than 30 percent of their income for monthly housing expenses, Baker wrote.

Baker could not be reached for comment.

The Arc of North Carolina has supported more than 220 residences for the developmentally disabled throughout the state since the start

of its programs in 1978.

Developmentally disabled refers to people who have chronic conditions originating during childhood that are typically lifelong, such as cerebral palsy or autism.

Individuals with developmental disabilities make up between 1.2 and 1.65 percent of the United States population, according to the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000.

There is a severe shortage of residential support for people with developmental disabilities, said Susan Parish, an associate professor at UNC and former board member of the Arc of Orange County.

“Most people with developmental disabilities need an array of services in order to live in their community,” Parish said.

DODGEBALL a photo essay by

Ali Cengiz and Kasha Stevenson Twelve students rushed toward the center of Fetzer Gym on Friday in hopes of getting their hands on one of the six balls in the center. The lucky ones aimed for the other team and threw the ball as hard as they could. The unlucky ones had only one option: dodge.

UNC’s Intramural Dodgeball Tournament, held once a year, was open to students in teams of six and allowed 36 teams. Some came donned in war paint and others in brightly colored fishnets to distract and intimidate opponents.

BELOW — Department of City and Regional Planning graduate student Bethany Windle cheers for the Sustainaballers from the sidelines.

TOP — Max Bushell (center) and other members of team Sustainaballers hype up before their first match. They are all from the Department of City and Regional Planning.

ABOVE — Participants in UNC’s Intramural Dodgeball Tournament dash to the middle of the court to claim as many balls as possible for their teams.

RIGHT — Michael Smith, a junior journalism major, jumps to avoid a ball as his teammates watch. Smith and his teammates were all members of Phi Sigma Pi. “We have a lot of fun with this,” said senior Betsy Labiner, one of Smith’s teammates, not shown.

Who will stu≠ your bird this holiday?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Renew rivalry: support student hoops marathon

W

hen I go home for the Thanksgiving holiday, I’ll be on poultry duty.

My family has charged me with turning a big frozen bird carcass into a deliciously delectable entree by Thursday. Am I prepared? Overly.

A few friends of mine have voiced their terror of cooking.

They’ve had their mothers and grandmothers prepare food for them their entire lives. But what happens when they leave college and are out on their own? How will they be able to live?

Granted, takeout is always available. Restaurants are always happy to cater to whatever flavorful fix you ask them to. Some even stay open until ungodly hours.

But cooking at home saves money and is generally healthier (depending on how closely one follows a Paula Deen recipe). The trick is to know how to do it.

It’s important to know how to prepare food, but our busy schedules may steer us away from this option. Grabbing a Nutri-Grain bar for breakfast is never more appealing than in the five minutes before you leave for a morning class.

When we do grab that quick prepackaged breakfast, we’re giving in to the food companies; we’re letting them cook for us.

With my family, immediate and extended, I advocate a return to the basics. Cooking for yourself is enjoyable, cheaper, healthier and much more satisfying than takeout from the Chinese place.

My grandfather has kept a small garden in his backyard for as long as I’ve been alive. He always has fresh Roma tomatoes, jalapeños and bell peppers ready at the end of summer. They go straight from the garden to the stove.

And as with my grandfather’s garden, the fresh parts of the meal really make up for the parts that you do buy from the grocer.

My family and I don’t grow our own grain for fresh pasta nor do we slaughter a chicken every morning, but adding fresh vegetables really makes a meal taste exponentially better.

But you can’t grow a garden in your dorm room, nor can you cook to your full potential.

That is why I encourage you to practice your culinary techniques when you return home for Thanksgiving. This Wednesday, help your family out by preparing a dish that can be made in advance — perhaps the turkey’s dressing or a dessert. Your mother will love you for it, and you get to gloat at the family dinner table as you practice for life outside of campus living.

You’ll discover some humbling qualities when you cook. You’ll find that, in your infallibility of being a Carolina student, that you can, remarkably, make mistakes. You’ll find that, no matter how many times you make a recipe, you can still mess it up.

Arrogance breeds error, and that is no more apparent than when some sauce isn’t homogenous or some tenderloin goes dry.

Learn from your mistakes, in the kitchen and in life, and you’ll figure out how to do it right the next time. At the dinner table, a positive result is much more gratifying: It tastes good. In life, results aren’t as starkly divided: flavorful or bland, black or white, good or bad — those distinctions aren’t as apparent in life as they are in the kitchen.

So cook a meal with your family this Thanksgiving. Don’t forget to gloat about your culinary contribution during Thursday night dinner, don’t forget the dessert, and don’t forget to clean up. Your mother will be proud.

Tar Heels in the middle

T

UNC takes the right step in starting a merit scholarship for students in middle-income range

he University is right to offer a scholarship intended for middleclass students.

With the addition of its Advantage Scholarship, UNC is taking an excellent step in the right direction.

The scholarship will be rewarded based solely on the merit of applicants whose family income is between $50,000 and $80,000 per year.

This range targets those who don’t qualify for Carolina Covenant but who still might have trouble affording college.

With the recent economic downturn, many families are hurting, especially the working classes like the middle class.

And given that tuition rates have increased nearly four

times as much as income since 1982, college will not get easier for many families to afford without outside assistance.

This privately funded scholarship will also help UNC secure a pool of applicants that otherwise might not attend the University.

Of the more than 1,000 “top students” offered spots at Carolina in 2008, but who were not offered a merit scholarship, only 200 actually enrolled in the University.

Acc ordin g t o Carol ina Development, which oversees the scholarship, the number one reason those top students didn’t come to UNC was that they were not offered a merit scholarship.

And while the University does offer some attractive

merit-based packages like the Robertson and Morehead-Cain scholarships, they are incredibly competitive and expensive to sponsor.

The Morehead-Cain Scholarship, for example, provides around four times as much aid per student as the Advantage Scholarship will.

So while the Advantage Scholarship isn’t quite as enticing as other merit-based scholarships, it will certainly help.

The University is taking another step toward making college easier on parents and students from middle-class families.

It’s good the “University of the People” is looking after all of the people, and not just those at the extremes of the earnings spectrum.

Equal hikes needed Bowles should follow Thorp’s, BOT’s recommendations

U

NC’s student body, the chancellor and the Board of Trustees support a low, equal percentage tuition hike for all students for the 2009-10 school year.

Erskine Bowles, president of the UNC-system, would be wise to do the same.

O n N o v. 1 3 , B o w l e s announced that he did not believe out-of-state students are entitled to low tuition.

But it would be wrong of Bowles to approve higher percentage tuition increases for out-of-state students.

This would pass the burden of the state budget crisis to outof-state students, who are not at fault for decisions made by representatives they did not elect.

After all, by instituting a cap on out-of-state students and keeping in-state tuition low, the General Assembly has chosen to limit UNC’s funding

sources.

Bowles should not force outof-state students to bear that burden.

In addition, Bowles told The Daily Tar Heel, “We have an obligation to the taxpayers of North Carolina. For out-ofstate students, we ought to be much more market-driven.”

It’s hard to imagine how much more “market-driven” out-of-state tuition can be.

After all, out-of-state students already pay more than 97 percent of the value of their education.

In addition, Bowles cites UNC-Chapel Hill as the best value in the country for outof-state students. Nonresident tuitions at University of Virginia and the University of Michigan both cost about $10,000 more per year than our nonresident tuition.

But the “you’re-lucky-yourtuition-is-so-low” argument

does not resound well with out-of-state students.

The two institutions cited also cap out-of-state admission at more than 30 percent and charge nearly double our tuition for in-state students.

Coincidently, the two surpass UNC in the U.S. News & World Report ranking of top public universities.

And as much as Bowles would like to blind himself to the issue, he represents the interests of out-of-state students at UNC as well.

The University has been crystal clear. This year, its leaders recognized the obligation to keep tuition hikes fair and manageable for every student — regardless of tax status. This is in the best interest of the students.

Bowles should recognize this and approve the 5.2 acrossthe-board tuition increase for undergraduates.

Hark the sound Carolina Virtual Voice will help generate needed input

K

udos to student government and the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment for developing an outlet for consistent student input, the Carolina Virtual Voice.

The CVV will consist of 200 undergraduate students and 100 graduate students who will be responsible for participating in surveys and focus groups whenever the need for one arises.

The group is being designed to mimic the University’s ratios for factors such as sex, race, political views and sexual orientation, which is probably as close as anyone is going to get to a truly diverse polling sample without a policy

of mandatory random survey responses.

This is an excellent way for student government to quickly gauge the community’s opinions.

When discussing important campus developments such as the South Road pedestrian bridge, student government now can get near-instantaneous student feedback, rather than relying on people to set up public forums.

That’s a vast improvement.

It isn’ t student government’s fault that organizations don’t get student input on projects, but any good student body government should strive to make sure the people are heard.

True, the CVV isn’t a perfect group for gathering statistics.

Having a survey sample of volunteers might cause some response bias.

And only student groups have been invited to volunteer members to the polling group.

Perhaps the CVV can be expanded so more students can submit their opinions, better reflecting the diversity of our campus.

Students could be asked to volunteer, regardless of what student group they’re in, if any at all.

But for now, the CVV is a great way to increase student involvement and to better connect student government to the campus.

TO THE EDITOR: The Duke-Carolina Student Basketball Marathon is a yearlong fundraiser organized by students from UNC and Duke University.

Proceeds from the marathon benefit BounceBack Kids, a nonprofit organization that helps children with life-threatening illnesses develop successful life skills through basketball. Learn more at www.bouncebackkids.org.

Throughout the year, students from both institutions compete against each other to raise the most money.

Each year, the marathon culminates with a Duke vs.

Carolina co-ed basketball game.

This year, the Marathon will be a 26 hour-long event, starting at noon on Jan. 16 and lasting to 2 p.m. Jan. 17 in Fetzer Gym on UNC’s campus.

During the basketball marathon weekend, the UNC and Duke communities come together to cheer on their respective teams and help raise money for the children of BounceBack Kids. Throughout the marathon weekend, a capella groups, dance groups and local bands will put on a great show for the participants.

Whether you are a volunteer, player or supporter, you are a part of the team. Everyone plays an important role in creating the exciting environment.

Visit www.basketballmarathon. com, for more information on how to play in the game or donate.

You can sign up on mysignup. com/bballmarathon09 to volunteer. The last day for all sign ups is Dec 9. If you have questions, feel free to contact Fallon Speaker at fallon.speaker@gmail.com.

Bikers’ safety on campus needs to be addressed TO THE EDITOR: I fell off my bike last week. But I am not writing to whine. Nor am I writing to cast blame at the woman walking in front of me.

She was walking in a straight line, until she stepped to the side — right as I was passing her. I braked, flew over my handlebars and into the street. The bike fell on top of me. She was really kind and helped me up and out of the street; I was a little dazed.

It was my fault. I was riding on a sidewalk, which is not the best choice. But I was riding on the sidewalk because I was going the wrong way up a one way street.

Another poor choice.

However, I was doing that to avoid Columbia Street. If you have not ridden a bike down Columbia Street, you might not have noticed that there is a place where the buses cross over the bike lane to get into their lane.

And then, the bike lane disappears altogether, right as a merge opens up to the right — across from where the bikers would be!

All that is before you get into the area in front of the Carolina Inn, which barely fits the lanes of vehicles, much less a bike as well.

My point is this: Biking commuters are forced to make choices between a bad idea and a less bad idea, on a fairly regu-

But as our numbers increase, someone is bound to run out of luck.

I implore the Department of Public Safety to make biking safety a priority. The numbers are only going to grow.

Impressed by dedication of students, despite rain TO THE EDITOR: While I sat in the first floor corner of Davis pretending to do a paper, I looked out the window onto a scene of crazy dedication.

Outside, with rain beating down from all sides, three students stood by the cubes with their paint supplies and umbrellas trying to battle the elements.

The most remarkable aspect: Instead of worrying about their own comfort, they were using their umbrellas to protect their side of the Cube from the rain.

It may not seem like much, but in such a torrential downpour, that just shows extreme commitment to your cause, and I’m impressed.

Now, I’m not a particularly sappy guy (just ask my girlfriend), but that display of self-sacrifice is remarkable. It makes me proud to be a student here.

As of now, their message reads “GlobeMed” and I have no idea what it means, but I’ll go just because of the display I witnessed. Hats off GlobeMed. John Blackmar Sophomore Undecided

CAA should revert to old ticket distribution policy TO THE EDITOR: John Russell’s guest editorial, “No ticket? There are still ways to attend,” (Nov. 19) regarding the ticket policy did not properly address its main problems, nor offer any suitable solutions for how to solve it.

While Russell’s editorial focuses primarily on how to obtain a ticket, most students would agree that getting a ticket is not the main issue. The real problem is that it has become unnecessarily but increasingly difficult to attend games with friends.

It creates the issue of having to frantically contact as many people as possible in order to find anyone that happened to get the same phase. If that effort fails, then the student must sacrifice his or her higher phase.

I understand that the CAA “felt bad” about handing out so many rejection letters to the lottery, but it was still very easy to obtain tickets even without winning them through the lottery.

Facebook groups of ticket trading have been formed, and one can easily find someone giving away tickets online. Of course, there’s always the high probability that your friend got a ticket and would love to take you along. I hope the CAA listens to the student body and brings back the old policy.

Part 1 and Part 2 separately would not be too detrimental to the viewing experience. The 2-hour break was enough time away from the theater that I was no longer in a “Nicholas Nickleby” mind-set when I returned.

I learned some new things at the play, such as that my cell phone still finds the need to sound its alarm, even when put on silent. Happily, I learned that

with a two-hour break for dinner.

The marathon performance was trying on both the audience and the actors. Though the actors seemed a bit more fatigued in Part 2, flubbing a few lines, they still conveyed their roles with great feeling.

A few members of the cast said they felt most tired during the second intermission, which came just before one of the play’s most dramatic scenes, but this fatigue did not translate to the stage.

The play employed several inter-

champions

the dark of the theater hides my blush too.

My best advice: Bring a sweater, use the intermissions wisely to refill on coffee and hit the bathroom, and make friends with those sitting around you. You’ll be making a seven-hour theatrical journey with them, and it’s best to have company on the emotional experience that is “Nicholas Nickleby.”

For word turned, beat her defender and fired a blast into the cage to even the score at 1-1 with 9:23 to play.

But before the UNC fans in attendance could finish celebrating, the Terrapins answered with a Megan Frazer goal off a penalty corner to take a 2-1 lead.

After Frazer’s goal, Shelton called Contact the Arts Editor a time-out and pulled Kintzer, a at artsdesk@unc.edu. gamble that allowed the Tar Heels

esting techniques. The most dramatic portion of the final act had every actor on stage, setting the somber mood and even becoming the set themselves. Various characters also appeared as narrators, occupying varying portions of the stage.

Because the characters used English accents throughout, a few characters were harder to understand, such as the rolling r’s of Peg Sliderskew. Altogether, however, the accents were consistent and matched the various characters’ social standing.

The costumes were intricately designed, and the skill of the design-

ers was evident in the work. With only 25 actors playing 150 characters, several quick changes were required, but all came off without any noticeable lag, though perhaps with a bit of hurried breath.

The actors effectively portrayed their characters’ emotions from frivolity to misery, the costumes were well constructed and beautiful, and the stage and sound set the scene, fully inviting the audience into the vivid life and adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.

“I’d rather go out in a blaze then just not do anything,” Shelton said of pulling Kintzer.

“I think in a national championship game you have to dare to be brilliant.”

Shelton certainly looked brilliant three minutes later, when Davids dribbled left and launched a shot into the top netting of the goal, evening the score at 2-2.

But Forword and the Tar Heels weren’t finished just yet.

With less than a minute left, North Carolina drew a penalty corner, and Shelton called Forword’s No. 22 on a direct hit play.

Freshman defender Caitlin Van Sickle placed the insert, Falgowski made the stop and Forword worked her magic, unleashing a missile that soared over Maryland keeper Alicia Grater before smashing against the backboard to put UNC ahead to stay.

“It was actually a beautiful moment,” Forword said.

“I did it for everyone, so I’m just

lucky it went in.”

And when UNC officially won their sixth title 11.7 seconds later, even Shelton knew that this championship would be tough to top.

“This one was different just because we were such an underdog, and we came from behind in such dramatic fashion,” Shelton said.

“To win it with 11 seconds on the clock was an incredible thrill.”

It was a scene of shock and triumph. But Forword hadn’t even begun to think about the magnitude of her shot.

“I landed on my knees and everyone landed on me so I hurt my left knee, which is my good knee,” Forword said. “And I just thought, ‘I’ll be in treatments this week, yay’.”

Forword’s goal marked the end of her team’s remarkable comeback in the final 10 minutes of the game.

What UNC did was improbable, but not impossible.

Forword finished her national

championship run scoring six goals in UNC’s four NCAA tournament games and was named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team.

The senior who knew more fervently than anyone else what she was capable of had delivered once again.

“It’s a beautiful way to end it, you know, to go out in my senior year with a winning goal,” Forword said.

“It was meant to be a straight shot, and so it was coming to me,” Forword said. “It’s a huge risk because I’ve been off on some of my straight hits, but I guess having your teammates screaming, ‘I believe in you, I believe in you’ … I mean, I had tingles before I took that shot. Maybe it was a higher power. I don’t know. It was beautiful. It was an amazing feeling.”

The Daily Tar Heel

Basketball from page 8

UNC missed 13 straight shots and had five turnovers. The Orange, on the other hand, shot 62.9 percent in the second half and made 22 field goals.

“We just got in a rut,” Williams said. “It was a snowball effect.”

In a game where not much went right for UNC, Ginyard and Ed Davis led the team with 15 and 16 points, respectively. Ginyard eventually spearheaded a run to cut the deficit to eight points.

But Syracuse always had an answer in the form of Wesley Johnson, who had a career-high 25 points, or Andy Rautins, who had 11 points and three buckets made from beyond the arc. The Orange had swagger and a shooting touch to match, and Rautins and Johnson found the mark from downtown

seven of 16 times.

“That was one of the better halves we have played down here,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said.

“I think offensively we played as well as we can play.”

Boeheim had plenty to be proud of. Syracuse’s 2-3 zone defense limited both the passing lanes and the space for North Carolina’s touted front line to go to work, and the Tar Heels were bullied out of the paint all night.

“It’s that 2-3 zone,” Deon Thompson (11 points, seven rebounds) said after the game. “I mean, give credit — that’s one of the best zones in college basketball.

I’ve never seen Syracuse play anything but that.”

That zone limited the touches for Davis and Thompson. Davis had 13 points at halftime, but was covered in a blanket of Orange for the final 20 minutes, and had only

3 points in the second period.

“You have to get back against Roy’s teams, that’s what they do,” Boeheim said. “We got back better, made them shoot from the outside, they’re not a great three-point shooting team.”

For the game, UNC shot just 38 percent. Coming into the game UNC was shooting 55 percent and 39 percent from beyond the arc.

But against the zone of the athletic Orange defenders, UNC shot a paltry 25 percent from deep for the game.

period, but Maryland keeper Mary Casey had six saves to foil the UNC attack.

Maryland put UNC to work on the defensive end as well. Speedy forward Jasmyne Spencer and midfielder Molly Dreska each had one shot on goal for the Terps. Those shots were Harris’ only two saves of the match.

“You could see from that match that Maryland came in and was committed to win,” Dorrance said. “A lot of teams try to bunker against us, and that wasn’t part of Maryland’s game plan at all. They presented us all kinds of challenges and problems.”

The Tar Heels were more selective in the second half, while the Maryland defense remained impervious.

But with just more than eight minutes left in regulation, Jessica McDonald and Casey Nogueira saw an opportunity.

The Terrapin defense packed into the box for a throw-in when McDonald, who has the longest throw on the team, stepped to the sideline.

Nogueira stood close by without a defender near her. When McDonald recognized this, she passed to the foot of Nogueira, who struck from 25 yards for the game winner.

“We usually throw a long throw into the box. Instead Jess saw me wide open,” Nogueira said. “It kind of caught the Maryland players off guard.”

Nogueira’s six shots, three on goal, were a game-high.

Saturday’s match was a microcosm of Nogueira’s recent play. In

teammates, he performed a cartwheel and a backflip.

“I did it a couple times last year,” Dixon said. “I haven’t done it all this year. It was good to bring it out.”

The Tar Heels (14-2-3) put up 11 shots during the game, though they dominated possession throughout.

Forward Billy Schuler capitalized with the team’s first goal in the 20th minute after Urso hit an in-swinging cross into the box. Schuler headed the ball into the net.

“We’ve been working in practice a lot on our free kicks and restarts,” Schuler said. “We have all our runs down, and Kirk played me to the right spot in the middle.”

But other than that finish, UNC didn’t make the most of its opportunities. Schuler spent most of the game around the 18-yard box, but couldn’t finish several chances.

out the whole ball game on third downs,” Davis said.

“I think at one point they were 0-for-9, 0-for-10, 0-for-11 on third down opportunities. And if you can get them off, it certainly gives your team a chance.”

And while UNC’s defense did carry the day, North Carolina’s offense surprised with effectiveness in the same scenarios.

In 17 third downs, North Carolina’s offense converted eight times. In the second half, the Tar Heels converted five of 10 third downs.

And while nobody could say that the Tar Heel offense was particu-

larly effective, UNC did manage to hold onto the ball for 21:08 of play in the second half, allowing only 8:52 of possession to a Boston College team trying desperately to come back.

In the fourth quarter, UNC had drives of 3:17 and 4:09 — both involving key third-and-long conversions.

Firs t, with UNC facing a third and 10 and a three-andout drive, quarterback T.J. Yates threw a strike to a slashing Erik Highsmith for 12 yards and the first down.

On the next Tar Heel possession, Yates found tight end Zack Pianalto just beyond the first-down marker for a six-yard gain.

Not only did the third down

six postseason games, she has three goals on 38 shots and four assists.

She had six goals and five assists in the previous 19 games.

“When she hits the ball, it always has a chance,” Dorrance said. “And what I like about what she’s doing right now is shoot as often as she can. I have no qualms with that.”

Of the eight teams remaining in the tournament, four hail from the ACC. UNC faces another conference opponent in Wake Forest on

Friday in a match that will decide who goes to College Station, Texas, for the College Cup. “One of the teams is going to walk off and their season is going to be done,” Harris said. “That in and of itself is enough motivation, especially for us seniors. We’re going to do everything we can to kill ourselves out there.”

Brown blasted a couple shots over the goal. And even Dixon missed.

In fact, with less than 28 minutes remaining in the second half, Dixon found himself collecting the ball right inside the box. But with defenders trailing, he decided to quickly blast a shot at Brown’s keeper. The effort was easily deflected.

“Brown was very, very competitive,” Bolowich said. “We expected that. There’s a reason why they’re here. You have to find a way to survive and move on and advance.”

After a disappointing loss to N.C. State in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament, such a display by the Tar Heels didn’t seem likely.

Goalkeeper Brooks Haggerty spoke afterward about how excited the team was to get back on the field.

A physical struggle occurred, and UNC left with the ugly win.

Still, the Tar Heels can take some consolation knowing they took this same route last year to the NCAA championship game — they lost in

the ACC quarterfinal before going on a surprising run in the NCAA tournament.

Dixon wouldn’t mind a return to the NCAA finals. In fact, he even suggested an extended celebration if he scored in this year’s title game.

“Definitely a couple more flips and maybe a slide,” he said.

Senate voted to begin formal debate on health care overhaul legislation

WA S H I N G T O N , D . C .

(MCT) — Amid all the uncertainties about how health care legislation would affect each American, one thing is clear — the more-affluent would pay higher taxes.

Under the House bill, couples with more than $1 million in income would pay an additional levy, or surtax, of up to 5.4 percent.

The Senate bill would hit families of more modest wealth — over $250,000 — with a lower payroll tax increase of 0.5 percent.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Without a vote to spare, Democrats pushed their healthcare overhaul legislation over its first obstacle on the Senate floor Saturday, as the chamber voted to begin formal debate of a sweeping measure to guarantee medical coverage for all Americans.

The 60-39 procedural vote — backed by all 58 Democrats and two independents, with Ohio Republican George Voinovich not voting — overcame a Republicanled filibuster designed to block consideration of the bill and kept

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, which generally supports cancer screenings, has said he plans to issue an alert soon saying the benefits of some screenings have been exaggerated.

A new way of thinking has started to take hold that looks at the risks along with the benefits and concludes that universal routine screenings may not always be the best option for improving public health.

This week, two medical groups relaxed their screening guidelines for breast and cervical cancers.

ISLAMABAD (MCT) — The Pakistani government has some advice the Obama administration may not want to hear as it contemplates sending additional U.S. troops to neighboring Afghanistan: Negotiate with Taliban leaders and restrain India.

Pakistan embraces U.S. efforts to stabilize the region and worries that a hasty U.S. withdrawal would create chaos, but Pakistani officials worry that thousands of additional American soldiers and Marines would send Taliban forces retreating into Pakistan, where they’re not welcome.

up momentum behind President Barack Obama’s top legislative priority.

The vote also set the stage for a historic health-care debate that is expected to begin after Thanksgiving and consume the Senate for the remainder of this year and into next.

Democratic congressional leaders, who got a health-care bill through the House two weeks ago, are laboring to move legislation through the Senate by Christmas so they can deliver on Obama’s top domestic priority by early next year.

Impeachment process to begin COLUMBIA, S.C. (MCT) — A S.C. House of Representatives panel will begin hearings Tuesday on whether to impeach Gov. Mark Sanford, including interviewing Sanford’s staff about the governor’s secret fiveday trip to Argentina in June.

House lawmakers introduced an impeachment resolution this week, arguing Sanford abandoned his post to visit his lover.

In addition, the State Ethics Commission has reviewed Sanford’s travel and use of campaign funds and charged him with “several” yet-to-be-released violations.

conversions keep Boston College from scoring, they also kept North Carolina’s defense fresh — a fact that the Tar Heel defenders were quick to point out.

“It’s great when the offense has our back like that,” Wilson said.

“They might have been stopped on first and second, but it shows they still have the resiliency and the drive to convert on third and long.”

Between Boston College’s ineffectiveness on third down and North Carolina’s ability to get just what it needed, the Eagles’ comeback bids fell flat for the rest of the game.

UNC does not allow a third down conversion

Defense snags five interceptions

By Powell Latimer

senior writer

by mike ehrlich

Sports Editor

CHESTNUT HILL, MASS. — By halftime, seagulls were circling Alumni Stadium like vultures. It made sense considering what North Carolina’s defense was doing to Boston College.

More than the interceptions, more than the defensive touchdowns, the Tar Heels destroyed a Boston College offense by not allowing a single third-down conversion in 13 chances.

In those chances, the Eagles threw seven incomplete passes, rushed twice for a total loss of two yards, and turned the ball over three times. BC’s one completion was for 14 yards on a third-and-19.

“We knew coming in that we had to emphasize third downs,” senior defensive end E.J. Wilson said. “They gave us a couple of turnovers, and we capitalized on those opportunities. I think third down might have been a bigger story than the turnovers really were. It’s a story that a lot of people don’t see and not a lot of people appreciate.”

UNC coach Butch Davis certainly saw it on the stat sheet. For two seasons, he has emphasized putting opposing offenses in third-and-long situations, where one down needs to go for at least seven yards. He saw plenty of those Saturday.

“The defense was outstanding through-

admitted in the postgame press conference that the UNC defense was not flawless against Maryland on Saturday.

“You’re not going to be perfect all 90 minutes,” Harris said. “I’m sure not. I’d like to be.”

But after UNC’s eighth straight shutout victory, senior midfielder Tobin Heath had to disagree.

“Pretty perfect,” she said.

The Tar Heels’ 1-0 victory against Maryland in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday was UNC’s 17th shutout of the year and marked 742 minutes since a team has scored a goal on the defending national champions.

“Because of all the nicks and injuries and national team issues, this team doesn’t have the overall record of the kind of team I thought we could have this fall,” head coach Anson Dorrance said. “Still, at our best, this team is absolutely extraordinary.”

The Terrapins (14-6-2) held their own against UNC (20-3-1) in the first half at Fetzer Field.

this year, but refrained.

Sure, the sophomore forward recorded North Carolina’s first hat trick since 2005 against Stetson this October. And yes, he scored a crucial goal against Wake Forest on the road a few weeks before.

But neither moment caused Dixon to celebrate as effusively as he did last year.

That changed in Sunday’s second round NCAA tournament game against No. 25 Brown (113-5). The No. 4 Tar Heels won 2-0. And after Dixon provided the game’s dagger, he rekindled his dramatic celebratory ways.

Alex Dixon “Kirk (Urso) played me a nice scored UNC’s ball through, and I was like, ‘If second goal I get on the other side of the Sunday against defender, I can have more space Brown. to go,’” Dixon said. “I got by him, and the back post was open, so I just slid it back there.”

As soon as the ball hit the net, Dixon beelined toward the UNC bench. But before embracing any

CHESTNUT HILL, MASS. — Deunta Williams had a memorable 21st birthday.

There was a party with about 40,000 screaming guests. And there were gifts — three of them, courtesy of a mistake-prone Boston College offense.

Williams came away with a career-high three interceptions in North Carolina’s 31-13 victory against the Eagles.

“Whenever he throws the ball, your eyes light up,” Williams said of opposing quarterbacks.

“It’s like a kid at Christmas time. You see the ball in the air, and, being a receiver before, I just think the ball is mine every time it’s in the air.”

Most of the time Saturday, it was. But he also shared a few with his friends.

The UNC defense came up with five interceptions, a fumble recovery and two defensive touchdowns to fuel an important UNC win.

North Carolina (8-3, 4-3 ACC) has now won four straight games for the first time since 2001 and vaulted into the AP poll at No. 23.

And the Eagles (7-4, 4-3), who had been undefeated at home before Saturday, saw their shot at

winning the division crumble.

Cam Thomas returned a fumble for a touchdown, and Kendric Burney took an interception 30 yards back, giving the Tar Heels a sudden 21-0 first quarter lead.

But North Carolina needed all the production it could get from the defense, since it wasn’t getting any from the offense.

Quarterback T.J. Yates was right on pace with BC signal-caller David Shinskie for a while. Yates ended up with three interceptions.

“The interceptions, just uncalled for,” Yates said. “It’s just me making poor decisions.”

As soon as one team turned the ball over, the other was quick to give it right back.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a game where there were as many sudden-change situations as there were today,” UNC coach Butch Davis said.

UNC also was unable to run the ball as well as it had the last few weeks. A physical front seven for BC, combined with a bruise to Ryan Houston’s thigh, helped limit the Tar Heels’ rush.

“We’re not holding up our end of

“If our defense has half the day that they did today, it might have been a much closer game than it was.

“They bail us out all the time.”

Two of those turnovers set BC up deep in UNC territory, but the defensive unit was able to hold the Eagles to field goals each time. And after giving up one second-quarter score to make it 21-13, the defense shut the door the rest of the way.

UNC now leads the ACC with seven non-offensive touchdowns this season, and four have come in the last two games. UNC also has nine picks in the last two weeks.

Williams took one of his interceptions back 39 yards toward the end zone, only to be tackled about six inches short.

Burney, who set a school record with his third career interception for a score, was going to make sure Williams didn’t forget which one of them found pay dirt.

“I’m going to write on a piece of paper ‘1-yard-line’ and hand it to him while he sleeps,” Burney said.

NEW YORK — In the second half of the 2K Sports Classic Championship game, Marcus Ginyard needed a moment.

North Carolina’s senior wing took a hard shot to the side from a Syracuse player with about 16 minutes to play. During the next timeout, he crouched on the floor in pain and was subbed out.

Such a moment epitomized Syracuse’s (4-0) 87-71 win over UNC (4-1) on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

“Marcus got whacked, and we took him out,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “They were already whacking us pretty good when we took him out.”

When Ginyard left, the Tar Heels were down by seven.

When he returned with 13:19 to play, the deficit was 12. It would eventually balloon to 19 as part of a 20-1 Syracuse run to open the half.

“I don’t think we could have played a worse half of basketball,” Williams said. “I sure hope we can’t.”

During the first 7:58 of the half,
