CHAMPIONS

n Nov. 22, South Africans Dani Forword and Illse Davids scored three goals to carry North Carolina’s field hockey team to a national championship. It was the culmination of a journey that spanned four years and 7,883 miles. Their friendship grew from rivalry in South Africa to sisterhood in the U.S.A. By Powell Latimer Sports Editor

This story already has a fairy tale ending: two friends kissing the polished wood of a NCAA championship trophy. The two women are South African. One is white, one is mixed-race. Four years ago, despite barely knowing each other, both traveled halfway around the world to Chapel Hill — leaving behind their homeland, their legacies, their families, and the expectations of a nation. And four years later, the two women are almost sisters. They combined to score all of UNC’s goals in the championship game, including the game-winner with 11.7 seconds to play. But we’re getting ahead of the story.

Born rivals The story started in the South African national under-18 championships, where a 17-year-old Dani Forword led an underdog Border Provincial team to victory.

In the final minutes of a scoreless game, she breezed through the heavily favored Western Province defense and flicked to a wide-open teammate for the gamewinner. “That one was special,” Forword said years later. “It was a beautiful goal.” Across the field, Western’s star striker, Illse Davids, could only shake her head. Five years later, she’s still shaking it. “She’s a killer striker and you hate going up against her,” Davids said. “She could go through half the team just with her skill alone and score, which killed us. So we always had three people marking her and … Dani always found a way to get through them.” It was the foundation for what became a close friendship — grown in the competitive world of South African field hockey. It’s even more remarkable given the nation’s turbulent history. Apartheid ended just 19 years ago this February, and its effects still resonate. In field hockey, a system of racial quotas limits the number of black, white and mixed-

race players on the national team. Forword’s name always inspired powerful emotions in South Africa. Her mother, Beverly, and her older sister Candice both played on South Africa’s national team. A newspaper clipping features a days-old Forword with her hand on her mother’s hockey stick. However, she struggled to emerge from her famous sister’s shadow, and many of her friends from home still know her as “Candice’s little sister.” As she grew into her own talents, people either hated or loved her, and weren’t afraid to be demonstrative. “My family would be sitting in the crowds and hear people talking about me,” Forword said. “As if they knew me.” Davids had none of the pressure. But she quickly became one of the best players in the Cape Town area and in the Western Province. Their styles of play are perfect foils. Forword plays as if no opponent is an immovable object, and shoots with a Texas-sized swing regardless of how close she is to the goal. Davids’ teammates call her graceful, fluid and annoyingly elusive.

Together, they led the South African junior national teams. It seemed only fitting that their college choice would be the same.

Crossing the Atlantic All roads pointed to Stellenbosch, the premier South African university for field hockey. Stellenbosch’s coach, Jenny King, also coached the South African national team. “Stellenbosch is where you go,” Forword said. “It’s the standard. It’s the powerhouse. That was always set. Ever since I was a little girl I knew I was going to go to Stellenbosch.” That is, until the two started talking with Grant Fulton. Fulton coached Candice Forword as an assistant for the South African national team in 2004, and Fulton had recently taken an assistant position on Karen

dth/phong dinh

Shelton’s staff at North Carolina in 2005. A native of South Africa, Fulton thought he could tap into his home market. He also knew he needed two South Africans — the transition was too much for just one. But why should two elite players spurn not only their home country but the national team coach herself ? And why go play field hockey in the U.S., where the sport has nowhere near the popularity as in South Africa? For Davids, it was a chance to get top-flight training, education, and a full scholarship. And if she played in South Africa for Stellenbosch, she’d spend her college years beating teams 10-0, 15-0. “When are you ever going to be asked ‘Hey, do you want to come to the states for four years on a full ride?’” Davids said. “It was something different, being in the South African field hockey scene I knew where I was going.” For Forword, the allure was even more powerful — and unusual. Eighteen years as part of the Forword family dynasty had turned her name into more of a burden than a privilege. America and the prospect of carving her own legacy started to look appealing.

Chapel Hill Police now spotting more fake IDs man injured in hit-and-run By Isabella COchrane Staff Writer

Police arrest 40-year-old man near Meadowmont BY victoria stilwell assistant city editor

A 65-year-old Chapel Hill man is in fair condition after he was hit by a car at about 11:40 p.m. Wednesday. Earl Geer, of 202 Carver Street, started to cross West Franklin Street near McDonald’s when he was struck by Cole Andrew Buchman, 40, who was traveling east, Chapel Hill Police Lt. Kevin Gunter said. “I’m not sure whether it was a glancing blow or what,” Gunter said. He said Geer was taken to UNC Hospitals by paramedics with non-life-threatening injuries. Stephanie Crayton, UNC Hospitals spokesperson, said Geer is in fair condition. Buchman was charged with felony hit and run, felony fleeing to elude arrest, driving while impaired and driving with a revoked license, according to the Orange County Jail custody report. After striking Geer, Buchman continued driving toward Meadowmont Village off East N.C. 54, Gunter said. Whitney Kenerly, who reported the incident to 911, said Buchman was driving erratically. “I saw a really nice new midsize SUV yank out

Your fake ID might have hologram graphics or a photo that looks just like you, but law enforcement is on to your tricks. As demand has increased for fraudulent identification, law enforcement began improving security features on driver’s licenses. The more sophisticated characteristics have allowed officials to track and more easily uncover individuals breaking the law. From January 2009 to October 2009, there were 373 arrests for the possession and manufacturing of fake licenses in North Carolina, up from 294 in all of 2008 — a 27 percent increase in less than a year, said Marge Howell, commu-

nications officer for the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles. In 2008, there were 18 charges in Chapel Hill related to fake IDs. Since the beginning of 2009, there have been 22, said Lt. Kevin Gunter, Chapel Hill Police Department spokesman. “We are seeing more of these (arrests) because we have seen an increase in the security of our driver’s license. In a way, that has brought out the bad guys,” Howell said. UNC student Emory Parsons, a bouncer at Players nightclub, said he catches fake IDs every busy night he works. “On a really busy night, I’ll see at least 25 people with fake IDs. You’d be kind of shocked, actually,” Parsons said. Some of the IDs used by students are

clearly fake, he said. “A lot of them are very gaudy. Sometimes the hologram on the fake is not even there or it’s a completely different design.” The state also is seeing a jump in the number of fake ID manufacturing labs across the state. But contrary to common belief, the labs are mostly not for college students, said Jeff Lasater, a local special agent with the Alcohol Law Enforcement Division of the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. Instead, they mainly cater to undocumented immigrants who need official identification for jobs and official services, he said.

See Fake id, Page 5

How to tell a fake ID from a real one Police will check to make sure three holograms are there: a seal behind a person’s name, the state seal and an airplane. The colors must match those of an authentic ID.

There should be two N.C. Department of Transportation logos, one in the left middle and right middle.

The face on the ID must match the holder of the ID. Sometimes people scratch out or alter the birth date, so police will check to see if it’s bumpy.

Police will make you remove your ID from your wallet because sometimes people will simply put information on the front of a credit card. The text on the Orville and Wilbur hologram must be correct.

New camera tracks cats’ every move

From staff and wire reports

MSU’s Draymond Green, 23, shoots a free throw during the matchup against UNC on Tuesday, the first since the 2009 championship game.

ver wonder what your pet does when you leave? Well, now you can find out. In Los Angeles, 50 house cats were given cameras around their collars — also known as “cat cams.” The cameras take a picture every 15 minutes. Based on these photos, we finally have evidence of how boring cats’ lives are. According to the photos, about 22 percent of cats’ time was spent looking out of windows, 8 percent was used to climb on chairs or kitty condos, 6 percent was spent sleeping and 4 percent was used on eating or looking at food. Clearly, the only people more bored than cats are the ones who waste their time worrying about how cats spend their days.

The University has ordered enough H1N1 vaccines for everyone on campus who wants them, but administrators have been surprised by low demand. Campus Health Services ordered about 28,000 H1N1 vaccinations in October for every student, staff member, faculty member and hospital patient at the University, but only slightly more than 20 percent have been administered. Mary Beth Koza, director of UNC’s Department of Environment, Health and Safety, said only about 6,000 people have been vaccinated for H1N1 this academic year. She said this is far too few. “Getting the student population to get vaccinated has been our greatest challenge,” Koza said. She added that getting as many people vaccinated as possible is

important for minimizing the chance of a third wave of outbreaks in January when students return to campus. The University has made it a top priority during the year to fully educate the campus on ways they can prevent themselves from contracting the H1N1 virus. Posters and e-mails continue to remind

students to wash their hands, cover their mouths and stay home if they experience any flu symptoms. Campus Health Services recently tried to make the vaccination process more convenient for students by holding nightly

Salvation Army bell ringers bring cheer By Taylor Hartley

into Nichols’ bucket might give way to the silent swipe of a credit card. Starting this holiday season, the Salvation Army is accepting credit cards as options for potential donors — but only in a few places, to test it out. Maj. Bruce Smith, the Durham Corps officer of the Salvation Army, greeted shoppers at the Wal-Mart entrance Thursday. He said he hopes the credit card option will encourage people to give. “We have only four locations in Durham using credit cards this year, and we hope to see how it goes,” he said. “We hope that it enables more people to donate.” Smith said the Durham branch of the Salvation Army seeks to raise $85,000 in red kettle donations this year and another $75,000 through mail donations. “Last year, we were here for two days, and our club alone collected close to $1,300,” Nichols said. Salvation Army officials cannot yet estimate how much of the red kettle donations might come from credit

It didn’t matter that it was early or that there was a slight chill in the air. Dennis Nichols and Fenner Boyd still rang their silver bells Thursday. The two members of the Durham Civitan Club stood outside the WalMart at New Hope Commons in Durham wearing red Salvation Army vests and seeking donations from holiday shoppers. Nichols rang his bell louder as shoppers approached him. After they dropped their change into his red kettle, he smiled and wished them a happy holiday. “We’ve been doing this for 30 years or more as members of the club,” Nichols said. “A lot of people thank us, most of the time, for what we are doing.” Boyd said people’s donations often surprise him. “It always seems like the people who can least afford it give more frequently than those that can,” he said. “But then, there’s a lot of people willing to give.” Soon, the sound of change dropping

cards, Smith said. “Even in these tough economic times, people are willing to dig deep and try to give,” Smith said. “We still see a lot of donations.” As many as 30 different civic clubs in Durham greet shoppers and collect donations each year, he said. “I’m always thankful for the volunteers who come and ring the bell this time of year,” he said. “I really enjoy it, because we are really helping others share in the joy of the season.” For him, he said, the holidays are about being with family and helping others enjoy the happiness of the season. When they’re not on the job, Nichols and Boyd celebrate in their own ways. Nichols said he enjoys sitting back, enjoying a piece of his wife’s made-fromscratch chocolate cake and listening to “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen.” He said he likes to spend time with his children and five grandchildren. And Boyd, though he doesn’t have grandchildren, still enjoys simply passing the time during the holidays. “It’s a great season,” he said. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

When Robert Weiss saw a production of George Balanchine’s influential New York City Ballet production of “The Nutcracker” as a child, he knew immediately that he wanted to become a dancer. “When the lights went down and the curtain went up, you’re transported into a magical world where anything is possible,” Weiss said. “And I said, ‘That’s the world I want to live in.’” Weiss, now artistic director of Carolina Ballet, will bring his company’s own version of “The Nutcracker” to the stage of Memorial Hall this weekend. The production includes several special features, such as a tree that grows from 8 feet to 20 feet, real snow and a boat that flies. “There’s a lot of special effects,” Weiss said. “It’s a great introduction to ballet if you’ve never been to the ballet.” Although Carolina Ballet’s production of the show debuted in Raleigh in 2001, the story of the ballet dates back much farther. “The Nutcracker” was based on German author E. T. A. Hoffman’s “Nussknacker und Mausekönig” (The Nutcracker and Mouse King), a dark fairy tale that featured evil spells, hideous dwarves and a seven-headed Mouse King. It was meant to be social commentary. The story inspired French author Alexandre Dumas, pere, to publish a more lighthearted version of the tale, titled “L’Histoire d’un Casse Noisette” (The Story of a Hazelnut-cracker). The French story appealed to the director of the Imperial Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, who in turn suggested it as a commission to music composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and French choreographer Marius Petipa. “He’s virtually the creator of the classical ballet as we know it, the rules and all the dances,” UNC music professor Jon Finson said about Petipa. “The Nutcracker” premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in December 1892 to scathing reviews. Finson said the Russians did not like that the second act was a series of dances without a plot. “The story of ‘The Nutcracker’ stops after the first act,” he said. Today, these dances are part of what has made “The Nutcracker” popular. The show allows ballet

In many respects, winning a Rhodes Scholarship is like winning a national championship. Charles Lovelace, executive director of the Morehead-Cain Scholars Program, used this analogy to illustrate what a Rhodes Scholarship means for UNC. “Winning a national championship is not going to affect a student’s day-to-day life, but it is a confirmation of the quality, the excellence of the athletic program,” he said. “So when a student wins a Rhodes or other post-undergraduate fellowship, it simply confirms that what is going on here is very special and an environment of excellence where students can be successful at the highest level.” The Rhodes Scholarship, founded in 1902, is the world’s oldest international fellowship and covers full tuition, board and living expenses for students to study at Oxford University for two or three years. November marked the addition of two new Rhodes Scholars to the 43 UNC alumni who have received the scholarship. UNC boasts the second-most Rhodes Scholar recipients among public research universities, falling behind only the University of Virginia.

UNC’s Rhodes Scholars illustrate the University’s caliber and attract prospective students and faculty. And the University has several programs in place to help students complete the challenging application process for the Rhodes and similar distinguished scholarships to help further this reputation. Stephen Farmer, associate provost and director of undergraduate admissions, said this success benefits UNC admissions and the University’s reputation as a whole.

“Any time the world gets a chance to see how great the students here at Carolina are, recruitment benefits,” he said.

Expensive child care in the area coupled with the economic downturn has led local assistance organizations to loosen the requirements for subsidized care. But with more people qualifying, the budgets for those programs are coming up short. The number of children qualifying for subsidized child care services increased from 26,000 to 41,000 between May and November, said Margaret Samuels, executive director of the Orange County Partnership for Young Children.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The head of the Secret Service accepted full responsibility Thursday for last week’s security breach at President Barack Obama’s first state dinner, but he said that the president and Vice President Joe Biden were never in danger from a party-crashing couple who shook hands and posed for pictures with them. Secre t Ser vice Direc tor Mark Sullivan told the House Homeland Security Committee that his agents were at fault for allowing uninvited Washington socialites Tareq and Michaele Salahi into a lavish state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Sullivan told the committee that three uniformed agents had been put on administrative leave in the wake of the incident. “In our judgment, a mistake was made,” he told the committee. “In our line of work, we cannot afford even one mistake. I fully acknowledge that the proper procedures were not followed.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Making a case for his confirmation to a second term as the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke defended on Thursday unpopular actions he has taken that helped stem a spreading global financial crisis, and offered a mea culpa for the Fed’s failure to see the storm coming. Bernanke faced tough questions from members of the Senate Banking Committee, which must decide whether he gets another four-year term as the chairman of the independent central bank. In an opening statement, Bernanke said the financial crisis would have been “markedly worse” but for the actions of the Fed and the $700 billion taxpayer bailout of the financial sector that Congress passed last fall. Upon questioning later, he acknowledged the Fed was slow to recognize the threat that problems in mortgage finance presented to the broader financial system.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The Senate voted 61-39 on Thursday to approve a plan that would make it easier for women to get medical screenings aimed at detecting a variety of diseases, such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. The first votes since debate began Monday on how to overhaul the nation’s health care system were wins for Democrats. They championed the women’s health measure and largely stuck together to defeat by 58-42 a bid by Republicans to undo more than $400 billion worth of Medicare cuts over 10 years. The bill itself remained stalled, however. Though Democrats control 60 of the Senate’s 100 seats, they’ve been unable to agree on abortion policy and a government-run alternative to private insurance. Debate on the women’s health plan — which is estimated to cost $940 million over 10 years — was an oasis of comity in the four-day-old health care debate.

The Daily Tar Heel

UNC hits the road to take on Kentucky Heels face another ranked opponent By Powell Latimer Sports Editor

It’s been pitched as the race to 2000 — the two winningest programs in college basketball squaring off. In one corner, the visiting North Carolina Tar Heels with 1,991 wins. In the other, the home Kentucky Wildcats with 1,995. Neither team will be thinking much about the all-time wins record though — a revitalized Kentucky provides the first true road test for the Tar Heels. North Carolina’s game against Syracuse in New York was a road game in practice, and coach Roy Williams wasn’t happy with his team’s effort in that game. How the Tar Heels handle the atmosphere at Rupp Arena will be one of the biggest question marks Saturday. And the main focus will be finishing — if the Tar Heels have an early lead.

Against Michigan State, UNC allowed the Spartans to close the game from almost 20 points to six in the game’s late stages. “When you play against good teams like Michigan State and other good teams, you can’t let them back in the game,” senior forward Deon Thompson said. “Because once you do, anything can happen.” That assumes that UNC will control the game in hostile Rupp Arena with an inexperienced team. But storylines abound for the matchup. There’s new Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose leadership has the Wildcats ranked in the top five nationally.

And then there’s a point guard battle. With 18 points and six assists in UNC’s convincing 89-82 win against Michigan State, Larry Drew II has been hitting on all cylinders. In the previous game against Nevada he had a careerhigh 10 assists. For the season his assist-to-turnover ratio is 2.2. But Drew faces his greatest test so far Saturday when he goes up against Kentucky’s John Wall. Wall is the most highly-touted recruit in recent memory, and he also hails from Raleigh. So far, the freshman leads Kentucky in scoring with 18.5 points per game, 47 assists and 15 steals in just six games. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

6-1, 0-0 ACC

6-0, 0-0 SEC

HEAD-TO-HEAD

MAKE THE SEASON MERRY.

Backcourt

This one gets a little confusing. John Wall is one of the most highly touted prospects to come through college in the last 10 years. But he’s still a freshman, and Larry Drew II has been playing well lately. Edge: UK

Frontcourt

Patrick Patterson is a solid forward, but the Tar Heels have one of the biggest and deepest frontcourts in the nation. Ed Davis and Deon Thompson combined for 36 points against Michigan State. Edge: UNC

Bench

Both teams are young, but UNC brings a host of talent off the bench. John Henson is starting to find a bit of confidence, and Tyler Zeller can run the floor. If Dexter Strickland can play well, watch out. Edge: UNC

Intangibles

It’s Rupp Arena. One of the most historical and intimidating places to play in the nation. UNC played poorly in its only road test at Madison Square Garden. Expect there to be some opening nerves for UNC. Edge: UK

accident

“I didn’t want my life to be planned. I wanted to make my own, and maybe step out of the footprint of what my mom and sister have done. … I’ve made my own name.” Cross-continental e-mails to Fulton were filled with questions, but in the end, Davids decided first, and her commitment convinced Forword to follow. The two best high school field hockey players in South Africa agreed to come across the Atlantic to North Carolina, a school they had never seen in a nation where neither had set foot.

of the parking lot by Lantern,” Kenerly, a former UNC student, said. “He started burning rubber.” She said Buchman also sideswiped a red truck. After his vehicle passed, she saw Geer on the ground. “It looked like his left leg was like a rag doll, just completely limp,” Kenerly said. “He had a really large gash on his forehead. “I never saw him speak or move.” Gunter said Buchman did not initially stop for police. Officers blocked the road with police cars to arrest him near Meadowmont. Buchman refused a breathalyzer test, Gunter said. Po l i c e t o o k h i m t o U N C Hospitals to have blood drawn to

Sisterhood Their first week was something out of a movie. Coed dorms, allyou-can-eat dining halls, red cups at parties, the unfamiliar Southern drawl; even the bubble sheets used for exams were unfamiliar. Forword and Davids also had to adjust to their new coach’s rigorous scheduling. During those first weeks, Davids and Forword were scheduled to meet Shelton at 9 a.m. to fill out some paperwork. At 9:01 a.m., they arrived to find a steaming-mad Shelton. “We walk out of the lobby and she’s goes ‘You’re late. I’ve been waiting for you guys for a minute,’” Forword said. She and Davids were shocked. The two grew up accustomed to a South African culture that they describe as “chill.” Being on time wasn’t always a priority. “And after that we were like 10 minutes early to everything,” Forword said. The hockey itself was different as well. The sport Forword and Davids grew up playing was different in the States: UNC focused on running and weightlifting, things that South African field hockey didn’t emphasize. The older American players weren’t afraid to yell and shove on the field, either. “Everyone gets dirty, and coach loves it,” Davids said of the indoor practices. “Because she wants to get that competitive fire out of you.” Davids, naturally the more shy of the two, struggled with the adjustment. Shelton wanted her to be more assertive. But Davids contemplated returning home during her first semester. “Things were just offish,” she said. “Playing was so different. Dani was saying, ‘No, stay, it’ll get better, stick it through.’” It was a refrain Davids couldn’t get away from. The two players saw each other every day during practice and they had three classes together. Soon, they became almost inseparable. They took solace in each others’ familiar accents and their shared knowledge of Afrikaans, the language of South Africa. Any thoughts on racial differences or old rivalries got pushed aside. Black, white, mixed-race or green — the South African kinship overrode it all. Davids stuck it through, and

dth/phong Dinh

Dani Forword ripped a shot on goal that beat the Maryland goalkeeper with 11 seconds left on the clock to deliver UNC the winning goal in the national championship, the second of Davids’ and Forword’s careers. both players earned starting positions from day one. By 2007, their sophomore year, the two were already leaders on a squad that went undefeated and won the national title. The Tar Heels looked primed to repeat in 2008 until Forword, the team’s leading scorer, went down with a torn ACL against Boston College in October. She missed the rest of the season and faced eight months of intense rehab. Without her, UNC stumbled. Maryland clobbered the Tar Heels 7-0, and UNC didn’t win a postseason game, losing 2-1 to Wake Forest in the ACC tournament and 3-2 to Michigan State in the NCAA tournament. Meanwhile, Forword faced trials of her own. Unable to play, she struggled to maintain patience with the rehab process. She missed her family. The same legacy she sought to escape now called her back home. Forword came within a whisker of returning to South Africa for her rehab until Shelton firmly nixed the idea. “She wanted to go home so badly, and I literally had to say no,” Shelton said. “It was one of the most difficult things I’ve had to do.” What kept Forword going wasn’t UNC’s trainers or facilities — it was Davids. “I feel sorry for Ils because she has to hear my sob stories all the time,” Forword said. Each time Forword came to her, Davids patiently ran through the list. Have you done this? Have you done that?

“I guess being the oldest in my family, I have to be the strongest,” Davids said. “I have to be the strong one in the family when things are going wrong.” And Davids’ instincts kicked in as her sister in America struggled. “I didn’t have (my) sisters, so Dani was like my sister when I was in the states,” she said. Even after practice, one of the two would call the other to say she was sleeping over that night. “We do this together,” Forword said. “It’s like we’re one person when we’re doing field hockey.”

Transformation By their senior year, the two were captains — and transformed. Davids, once so shy and quiet, gave motivational speeches before every game. “Illse for President,” became a team mantra. Her flashy, graceful play remained but complimented by a nasty streak. She isn’t afraid to throw elbows, and one day in practice this year she broke teammate Casey Burns’ finger. Forword overcame both the pain in her knee and the pain of separation from her family. She took full advantage of the fresh start North Carolina offered, and in her career netted 54 goals. More importantly, Forword made a name for herself. She will

forever be identified by her last 30 seconds as a collegiate athlete. With 11.7 seconds to play and the score tied 2-2 in the national title game, UNC had one final chance. When the Tar Heels drew a penalty corner, the decision went to Shelton: who’s the shooter? Should it be Melanie Brill, the senior and leading scorer? Or should it be Forword, who Shelton calls her money player? Shelton didn’t hesitate. No, there would be no fakes, no fancy passes. Dani, just rip it. “With 11 seconds on the line, I wanted her to straight strike it,” Shelton said. “I’ve seen her do it. She’s good at it, and she nailed it.” Davids didn’t see the shot. Tears came into her eyes before Forword even swung, and it was all she could do to blindly run into the box. When she heard the shot smack into the backboard, she didn’t slow down, just redirected her sprint to Forword, already in a joyful heap on the ground. “This game was one of the games you dream of,” Davids said. “That competitive battle where … you just keep on fighting. It’s like something from the movies.” Now that’s a story. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

fake ID from page 1

College students are much more likely to use IDs they order online and customize with personal information or real IDs belonging to older friends, he said.

Taking a closer look Fake license manufacturers have tried to keep up with the increasingly sophisticated designs, but the main giveaways remain the same, Lasater said. From his experience, most fictitious IDs are seized around college campuses where students use Web sites and other methods to make them, Lasater said. “We do see a lot around Carolina, Duke and State,” he said. Israel Morrow, a special agent for ALE, said making people take IDs

be tested for alcohol. Jason Wall, the general manager at Lantern at 423 W. Franklin St., said he told police that Buchman acted intoxicated when he ordered a drink at the restaurant, and employees refused him service. “He was here, but he did not drink here,” Wall said. Buchman was taken to Orange County Jail in lieu of $1,100 secured bond. As of 8 p.m. Thursday, he was still in custody. Gunter said hit-and-run incidents are rare in Chapel Hill despite high pedestrian traffic and jaywalkers near downtown businesses and the University. “They don’t happen as often as you would think,” he said. Gunter said Geer wasn’t on a crosswalk when he was hit. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. out of their wallets helps because by holding it in their hands, people checking the IDs can better detect discrepancies. “I’ve seen people who have the information on the front, but when you turn it over you can see that it’s a completely different card that has been fraudulently manufactured,” Morrow said. Getting caught with a fake ID is a misdemeanor, and the punishment varies depending on the district judge’s decision, said Mark Senter, an ALE supervisor. But at some bars, getting caught by a bouncer or bartender could end with just a shake of the head. “We don’ t call the police. Sometimes we confiscate them from time to time. We usually just say, ‘No, have a good night,’” Parsons said. Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

The Daily Tar Heel

Soccer teams face sti≠ challenges in NCAAs In its first College Cup game, the North Carolina women’s soccer team will face a familiar foe. Last season, UNC claimed the NCAA crown against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a 2-1 comeback victory, marking the sixth time they ousted the team from the tournament. Most recently, the Tar Heels spanked Notre Dame 6-0 in South Bend, Ind., in an early-season rematch of the title game. “I think that’s going to fire a spark in them and make them come

out really hard against us,” senior forward Casey Nogueira said. “They’re going to come out there to beat us because they’re probably mad we beat them at their home field.” Head coach Anson Dorrance is not excited to play a team twice — something his team has been forced to do four times this season. “Obviously the last thing you want to do is play a team in the NCAA Tournament you’ve already beaten,” Dorrance said. “What you’d rather play in the

NCAA Tournament is someone who has beaten you, because the motivational edge is in your favor.” The Tar Heels’ only rematch against a team that had beaten them already this season was the ACC Championship game against Florida State, where Dorrance and UNC “relished the opportunity” and won 3-0. The Irish enter tonight’s contest in College Station, Texas, with a 19-game unbeaten streak. Both schools have identical 21-3-1

health events in residence halls to vaccinate students. Koza said she was disappointed that only 78 students were vaccinated at an event held at Hinton James Residence Hall on Wednesday. Hinton James can house about 770 students. “Most people believe it’s a mild illness, and they don’t think of all the complications that can happen,” Koza said. Some students said their main reasons for not getting vaccinated were inconvenience, fear of the vaccine’s novelty and general apathy. Sophomore journalism major Marijke Devries said she is reluctant to receive a newly developed vaccine. She said she has never had the flu in the past. “I’m not sure how stable it is,” Devries said. “There’s not a lot known about the side effects.” A few students have decided to look past these anxieties and take

already a great institution.” Farmer said prospective students care about the type of students they will study with. A 2008 study of UNC recruitment by The Arts & Sciences Foundation found that one of the most common reasons students cite for applying to UNC is that their peers are highly qualified. Linda Dykstra, director of UNC Office of Distinguished Scholarships, said her predecessor George Lensing provided eligible students with important support. Lovelace also said Lensing has contributed to the selection of nine UNC Rhodes Scholars since 2003 because of the personal attention he paid to these students. “It’s the support of that office, the coaching, the mentoring that really has made a difference for the school for success in this arena,” he said. “He spends hours with them talking about their personal statements, helping them review them and helping them clarify them.” In addition to dozens of drafts of the personal statement, applicants must have eight letters of recommendation and usually practice interviewing extensively. Twenty-seven of the last 30 UNC Rhodes Scholarship recipients have been Morehead-Cain scholars. While the foundation plays a part in recruiting high-achieving students to UNC and provides them with financial support and travel and internship opportunities, Lovelace credits the whole community for these students’ successes. “ T h e Un i v e r s i ty, a n d t h e University faculty in particular, are due the credit for engaging these students in a way that excites them and motivates them to do exceptional work,” he said.

advantage of the vaccine’s low cost and convenience. Freshman Allison Rowland said she decided to get a vaccine at the clinic in Morrison Residence Hall on Thursday because several of her family members have been infected with the H1N1 virus. “My mom really wanted me to get it,” she said. She added that she was attracted by the convenient location and the ability to receive a nasal spray.

The H1N1 vaccines are $12 at Campus Health Services for those without insurance and free to those with certain providers. The fee pays for an outside health care agency to provide staff for the vaccination service. Nasal sprays and shots are available. The seasonal flu vaccine is a different vaccine that does not protect against the H1N1 virus.

Some job-seeking parents who must look after their children because they can’t afford child care are finding it hard to secure employment that works with their schedules. It’s stressful for families to have a child move out of child care while his or her parents are unemployed and then return when parents find jobs, Dennis said. “It’s not easy to watch children when you are networking for a job offer,” she said. But even as the number of people seeking child care increases, funding for government-funded social services in the area has been cut. Samuels said the Partnership for Young Children’s budget was cut by 10 percent this year. The organization continues to ask for

Orange County parents have been hit especially hard by cuts because of the cost of child care in Chapel Hill, Dennis said. The average cost for day care at the University Child Care Center, for example, is $1,126 per month. Dennis said there is high demand for top-notch care locally.

What’s the value of the food we eat?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Should the Palestinian voice be the loudest?

verything I know about diet and exercise I learned from magazines. From years of casual research and exposure, I can tell you with little pause how many calories are in certain foods and what activities will burn them off. I learn more every time I pass the newest periodicals at the grocery store, the bookstore, the airport and Student Stores, often without even turning a page. “Get Total Body Confidence: Great Abs, Butt and Legs by New Year’s.” “Get Rid of Muffin Top.” “Burn More Fat.” “Willpower 101.” I read these headlines while standing outside the Bull’s Head Bookshop this week, though I could have read them last month or last year. I’ve seen variations on the same themes since I was old enough to read. I know these ideas are presented as options and opportunities, but sometimes they seem more like commands and criticism. Like a voice is telling me that even if I am satisfied and happy with my work as a student, sister, friend and daughter, none of my achievements are as important as a trim physique. And most of the time, I take it with a grain of salt. But how many photos with circled cellulite, tips for “make him swoon” hair and “lose this much by this time” headlines can we stand? Women’s Wear Daily recently quoted supermodel Kate Moss as living by the motto, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” Naturally, reactions to such a twisted statement were strong — including mine. But at the same time that my feminist objections reared their heads, I had to make an embarrassing admission. There was some truth to that statement for me. I feel pretty good about myself most of the time. But I’ve stared at my body thinking that if my legs were longer or hair shinier or I had less armpit pudge when I wear tank tops, I’d feel even better. I like to think I’m above all the hype and worry, but I’ve cried when I couldn’t zip up a bridesmaid dress I wore three years ago. I want to be valued for my mind, not my body, but damn, did it feel good when I could button my skinny jeans again. We talk about eating disorders. We recognize disordered eating and exercising on campus, in our friends and maybe even in ourselves. But what about disordered valuing? What does it mean that America’s stores sell millions of dollars’ worth of food with zero caloric and energy content, and yet people still go hungry? How can we have people on both sides of the weight spectrum loathing their bodies? How do I know so much about crunches and so little about Afghanistan? I’m not saying we shouldn’t celebrate our bodies and enjoy looking good (see Justin Chandler Wilcox for that one.) But we can be educated about what goes into our bodies and our minds. I saw a talk given by Eve Ensler years ago, and she said that if women channeled the energy they used for fretting about their bodies into world peace, we’d be at a United Nations campfire singa-long by now, hitting the later verses of “Kumbaya.” While we’ve been slicing and dicing, painting and plucking, squeezing and slimming our bodies to meet others’ standards, bits of life pass us by. And those individual experiences add up to a world of lost opportunity.

A call to investigate State justice department right to investigate BCBS

he N.C. Department of Justice is right to investigate the state’s largest health insurer for its potential misuse of automated calls. Earlier this year, BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina launched a campaign against the so-called public option in the health care bill being debated in Washington. As part of that campaign, an automated call sent by BCBSNC asked recipients to contact U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., and encourage her to vote against any governmentrun insurance plan. Those calls raised issues for several reasons. Some people thought it was inappropriate for BCBSNC to oppose a government-run plan.

Others were frustrated that BCBSNC might be using their premium payments to fund a campaign against a political issue they support. But the justice department is investigating BCBSNC for the automated calls themselves. Twenty state legislators signed a letter requesting that the justice department investigate these calls. These calls seem to violate state law. North Carolina law bars health insurance companies from making calls that are not related to a recipient or a family member of a recipient’s “health care, preventive services, medication or other covered benefits.” The government-run health care plan is an explosive politi-

cal issue that is not directly related to the services BCBSNC currently provides. Therefore, the calls are inappropriate and possibly illegal. Lew Borman, a spokesman for BCBSNC, wrote in an e-mail that the company is trying to protect customers and North Carolinians from the large premium increases they would see from the proposals in Congress. That might be true. Their campaign is informative. And they have a right to say whatever they please about the health care overhaul — just not with robocalls. The public option issue is simply too incendiary to fall under the law’s provisions for allowing such calls.

Central need for services Closing of El Centro Latino unfortunate; community must work hard to bring services back

But El Centro Latino board member Paula Gildner said the most important goal of El Centro was to provide a place where local Latinos could go to socialize and speak Spanish in the comforting presence of their peers. Although El Centro has closed its doors, the organization itself remains intact, at

least until a January meeting. Ivan Parra, a member of the North Carolina Latino Coalition and an organizer for Orange County Justice United, a coalition of local neighborhoods and groups like El Centro, said El Centro will be sorely missed. Noting a “tremendous community need” for a center that can both provide resources to and protect the rights of local Latinos, he said the N.C. Latino Coalition will stand firmly behind any local effort to help Orange County Latinos. El Centro’s Web site lists a number of sponsors both large and small, but sponsors alone cannot prop up an organization. Groups like El Centro require support from both

their target community and the community at large. Whether that support is in the form of donations, volunteer hours or other, less tangible methods, it is drastically needed to help out this deserving local community. The first step in supporting El Centro will be to attend its January meeting, open to the entire community, to better determine the Latino community’s needs. El Centro has been an important part of the Latino community in the area for years. Hopefully, community leaders can come together and create a similar organization to fill the vacuum left by El Centro’s closure.

Long list of problems

UNC listservs cause headaches for all involved

tudents should start using third-party listservs like Yahoo or Google Groups for sharing information that isn’t essential to the University. There are about 17,000 lists on the University’s servers, and it’s becoming apparent that the situation is not working out too well. The sheer number of lists is causing delays in delivery that sometimes need patches and other maintenance to fix. And some of these, such as Christmas card and local homeowners’ association lists,

have no business being on the University’s servers. Information Technology Services is investigating two ways to deal with the problem. ITS could purchase more server hosts to spread out the stress the lists put on the servers. But that isn’t sustainable. Eventually, people will just create more lists and overload the servers again. ITS could also implement guidelines on who can create listservs and for what. That’s the better of the two options, but it doesn’t fix the

immediate problem of potential delays. It’s also going to create some chaos while people figure out what to do. Students should instead act on their own. Consider setting up a Google or Yahoo group if you will not be sending e-mails for Universityrelated purposes. Also, given Yahoo and Google’s resources, their e-mail systems will probably be more reliable than ours is due to its current overcrowding. As a result, the University’s servers would get some muchneeded stress relief.

TO THE EDITOR: In response to Mr. Fleming’s column, “Student voice on Palestine lacking,” (Dec. 3), let me first say that I agree with many of his points. One of the main reasons the situation is so intractable — and why a two-state solution is bound to fail — is education. In Palestinian schools, children are taught that Israelis are infidel devils who seek a “Greater Israel” and the eradication of Islam. In many textbooks, Israel is not listed, or referred to as “Palestine.” On the flip side, Israelis are taught to perceive Palestinians as an existential threat and not as credible partners in diplomacy. As an aside, Israel has tortured suspected terrorists, invaded sovereign countries in the name of national security and engaged in rhetoric sometimes more damaging than bullets. Before both sides can be credible negotiating partners for each other, both groups have to stop educating their children in hate. While it is true that the media often appears partial to Israel, let us not forget that the international community consistently ignores Israel’s precarious hardship. Let us not forget that recently, the UN affirmed a resolution that essentially denies Israel the fundamental right to self-defense. Let us not forget that Israelis live under a continual threat of indiscriminate rocket fire or civilian-targeted suicide bombing. Mr. Fleming is right that the Palestinian voice is not the “loudest voice we hear.” My question is: Should it be? Nate Friedman Senior Psychology, Peace, War and Defense

Celebrate contributions of Greek philanthropy TO THE EDITOR: As a non-Greek student, I find it encouraging to see such dedication from the Greek system in regards to spreading holiday cheer and goodwill throughout the entire Carolina community. Glance back over this fall semester and a number of specific instances quickly come to mind. On Halloween morning, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity hosted the Heels 4 Hope 5K, raising more than $15,000 for the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Arc of Orange County and Push America. The National Panhellenic Council honored the anniversary of Sept. 11 by cooking dinner for local firefighters. Alpha Delta Pi’s Ron-A-Thon 5K in September raised nearly $13,000 for the Ronald McDonald House of Chapel Hill. As a unifying movement, the four Greek councils collaborated for Greek Week, consisting of a very successful blood drive as well as a joint canned food/clothing drive. This holiday season, let’s come together and celebrate one another’s accomplishments. Let’s give credit where credit is due. Join me in commending the Carolina Greek system for its contributions to our community. Christopher Lane Sophomore Journalism
