    Jan Yopp, dean of sum-mer school, said summerconstruction has never posedthreat for student safety.

    I think the facilities folksdo a very good job of signageand fencing those areas off,she said.

    Yopp said her depart-

    ment and the Departmentof Facilities Planning work

    well together to keep studentsinformed on what is happen-ing around campus.

    She said they use a Twitteraccount and website to keepstudents informed.

    DaviS Library

    The home of the School of Information and Library Science,Manning Hall will have its cupola restored this summer.

    The cupola is a decorative dome-like structure that sits on thetop of the building and has been there since the building wasfirst constructed in 1923.

    The project will cost $100,000, Hoff said.People who use the building wont face any disruption, he

    added.

    South Building houses many of UNCs administra-tors, including the Office of the Chancellor, the Collegeof Arts and Sciences, and the Division of Finance and

    Admini stration .Portions of the second and third floors of South Building will

    be renovated to provide more space, Hoff said.The project will cost $490,000, Hoff said.During construction, staff affected by the remodel will be

    relocated to other office space around campus.

    The second, third and fourth floors of Davis Library will beremodeled to make room for the Odum Institute, UNCs cen-ter for social science research.

    The job will cost the University $500,000 and will finish inJune, Hoff said.

    Were moving everything we have over there, said PeterLeousis, deputy director of the Odum Institute.

    He said the majority of their labs, offices and equipmentwill be moved to the second floor of Davis Library, wheremicrofilm was previously stored.

    Were not taking any space that students had before,Leousis said.

    As students put the books down and take a well-neededbreak, construction on campus will be hitting high-gear.

    Three buildings on UNCs campus will undergo renovationsthis summer.

    Luke Hoff, director of design and construction services forUNC, said this summer there will be three construction projectson campus and another three off campus. Staff writer AndyWillard writes about these projects.

    same resources that studentsreceive during the school

    year.We just wanted to make

    sure the 7,300 students whocome to summer school canget done what they need todo, she said.

    Hoff said just because there

    are less people on campusduring the summer doesntmean that construction iseasier to perform.

    We only have a coupledays off from commencementto summer school, so wellstill have students, facultyand staff doing what they do,he said.

    By Hunter ToroStaff Wrter

    For students looking forsmaller class sizes and afocused environment, sum-mer school could be theanswer.

    This year, UNC is offeringabout 550 summer classes,ranging from the traditional,such as Biology 101, to theless frequently offered, likea religious studies class onJewish culture that will spenda week in New York City.

    Last year, about 7,300 stu-

    dents chose to stay in ChapelHill for the summer, said Jan

    Yopp, dean of summer school.Students can choose either

    a Maymester, which is con-centrated in only May, orone of two summer sessions,

    which take place in May andJune, or June and July.

    Yopp said summer schoolcan especially help studentsdouble majoring, minoring orstudying abroad to graduateon time.

    Its an individual thingsome students love it andsome do not, she said. Firstlook at it vis-a-vis your aca-demic goals. Look at thelong- term, not just next

    semester.She warned against the

    myth that summer courses areeasier than typical courses.

    Summer classes aremore rigorous than studentsthink, she said. The classmeets every day, and itsintense with a lot of materialin a short amount of timeso youve got to be ready tofocus.

    Todd Taylor, a professorof film analysis, who will beteaching two courses in sum-mer session II, said there are

    both positive and negativeaspects of teaching during thesummer.

    The con is that summerschool goes by so quickly, andthat time is dense. Students

    dont have enough time tomeditate on things as they

    would during the semester,he said.

    But he said the addedintensity has an upside.

    The pros are that thestudents only have to focuson one or two classes sothey tend to be a lot morefocused, he said. They donthave lots of other classesor extracurriculars or even

    basketball season to di stractthem.

    Freshman Molly Steinsaid she is going to take theSpanish Immersion Programduring the summer to fulfillher language requirement in

    a less intimidating environ-ment.

    Honestly, Spanish scaresthe crap out of me, and I canget two credits out of the wayinstead of taking up otherspots in my schedule forclasses that I really want totake, she said.

    Taylor said he is surprisedthat more students dontattend UNC in the summer.

    Summer school is anopportunity students reallyneed to take advantage of,he said.

    Summer on the Hill Tuesday, April 9, 2013The Daily Tar Heel 3

    Picture this: Its thefirst week in May, and

    your final exam is justfinishing up. You turn in yourlast blue book, pack up thelast of your things, deposit

    your worn-out rug into adumpster and then youregone. Summer break awaits.

    You know that feeling its only a few weeks away.

    And for many of us whenwe finish up here in May we dont set foot back oncampus until August.

    But anyone who has spentthose three interveningmonths in Chapel Hill before

    will tell you one thing: Youneed to spend at least one of

    your summers right here.Ive heard this a lot, and

    Ill be honest with you Ivenever done it before. But Imstill going to tell you why youshould, and why I am.

    The first time I set foot onUNCs campus in the sum-mertime, it was the middle ofJuly and it was one of the hot-test summers North Carolinahad ever seen.

    I had driven down frommy home state of Marylandfor my two-day freshman ori-entation, and I wasnt happyabout it.

    I had gotten my first (andonly) migraine ever on the ridedown, the kind that makes

    your vision blurry at the edges.Then I was paired with

    a random roommate, whoinsisted we stay up to chatabout summer camp until twoin the morning.

    And I had to stay in a dormwith her while my motherstayed in the Carolina Inn.They left chocolates on herdown pillows. She sent mepictures.

    So I havent been backto campus in the off-seasonsince that first time, but Ivedecided to try it out this sum-mer. From graduation untilthe beginning of August, Ill

    be spending every weekdayat 151 E. Rosemary St., in theoffice of The Daily Tar Heel.

    I cant say that I knowexactly what its going to belike. But I can say that I havea pretty good guess.

    Because after I adjusted

    to that first lackluster experi-ence, I fell in love with thisplace, and I got a pretty goodidea of what its like whenmost of us are gone.

    I know that campus mightbe a lot emptier, and a lotquieter but if you look hardenough, its neither empty norquiet.

    Our newsroom, for exam-ple, will be home to a smallerstaff and yes, you should

    be a part of it instead ofour usual 200-plus. But thepapers will still be in their

    boxes, yours for the taking.You might pick up a paper

    on your way to class in themorning, where your profes-

    sor might even know you byname.

    You might drop that paperback in the bin on your wayto YoPo afterwards, where theflavors might be just as good

    but are melting twice as fast.You might be able to get a

    table at Mellow Mushroomon a Friday, or even get achance with the microphoneduring karaoke night at HesNot Here on a Sunday.

    But then again you justmight. These arent thingsthat I know to be true. Butthats what Im staying to findout.

    Plus, if were being com-pletely honest, Im mostly

    staying because Im payingrent here already, so why thehell not.

    After all, they say youshould never make the samemistake twice, and Ivealready spent one of my col-lege summers outside of theSouthern Part of Heaven.

    Its time to do somethingdifferent this time around.

    morning in Carrboro before biking around the Triangle.

    By Resita CoxStaff Writer

    Summertime is a chancefor students to leave behindthe computer screens andenjoy the outdoors.

    There are many opportuni-ties to go outside and get intouch with nature, both affili-ated with UNC and throughactivities around town.

    Campus activities

    Campus Recreation hostseight wilderness trips dur-ing the summer for students,alumni, faculty and staff, saidDavid Yeargan, expedition pro-

    gram manager for the CarolinaOutdoor Education Center.

    There are a lot of folks whoare around for the summer,and there arent many thingsto do so we put (the trips) outthere three years ago for thefirst time, he said, adding thatthere has been a lot of interest.

    Outdoor excursions rangefrom a kayaking trip in Maythat costs $40 to a two-day

    backpacking trip in June thatcosts $150, Yeargan said.

    Chapel Hill: the great outdoors

    By Jackson KnappStaff Writer

    Students who want asummer job should startlooking soon and be proactivein their search.

    Jeff Sackaroff, associatedirector of University CareerServices, said that studentsshould cast a wide net andconsider many different joboptions.

    You want to be selectivebut not to the point whereyoure immobilized because

    you cant find anything, hesaid.

    Sackaroff said that simplysubmitting an applicationisnt always enough. Studentsshould follow up withemployers in person or on thephone and try to speak with amanager.

    Ross Moll, owner of R&RGrill on Franklin Street,said that while interviewingprospective employees, helooks for applicants with goodinterpersonal skills.

    A lot of it has to do

    with being engaging in aninterview and a lot of it has todo with the personal aspect,he said.

    Some people come witha lot of experience and thatsgreat, some people come withno restaurant experienceand also are great. A lot ofit has to do with trying to bepersonable.

    Sackaroff said that whileits never too early to startapplying for jobs, a lot ofemployers dont considerapplicants until close to the

    start date of the position.If youre looking for a

    summer job, probably amonth out or so is a goodtimeline as these folks startto know what their summerneeds are going to be, hesaid.

    Moll said he considersstudent applications forsummer work from themiddle of spring semester totwo weeks before graduation.

    Taylor Mihok, a sophomorenursing major, said she wasable to get a summer job

    All the right job skills in all the right placesby networking with peopleshe knew and doing onlineresearch. She said she haspreviously worked as areceptionist at a hair salonand as a nanny.

    Its important that youpresent yourself in a pleasantlight, articulate well andmake sure your application is

    well written, she said.Madeline Merrill, a senior

    English major who workedduring past summers as a

    waitress and camp counselor,

    said that there are always jobsavailable.

    It might not be exactlywhat you want to do, but inmy personal opinion, theresalways something out there.

    She said being aggressiveand dropping off resumesearly helped her get jobs.

    Most students shouldexpect to make between $8and $12 an hour, he added.

    He said students shouldonly seek an unpaidinternship if the job

    helps further their career.Otherwise, they should try tofind a paid position.

    Internships shouldnt beused simply to pad a resumeif the work isnt worthwhile,he added.

    It doesnt do you so muchgood to get an internship that

    you hate where youre notdoing anything of value, hesaid.

    Contact the desk editor [email protected].

    in May for upperclassmen.Its to figure out what you

    want to do with your life andwhat direction you are goingto take it in. They use theescape from campus to do

    some self-reflection to knowyourself and find your path,Yeargan said.

    Around town

    There are 15 parks locatedin or near Chapel Hill, threecommunity pools and manytrails.

    Information for Parks &Recreation facilities, activitiesand events can be found athttp://townofchapelhill.org.

    I like that there are manythings to do at the parks, saidChapel Hill resident BarbaraRedmond. There is always a

    bunch of kids at the park aswell, and thats always good.

    There are even two dogparks.

    We like taking the dogsout when it is nice and

    sunny, Chapel Hill residentJacquelyn Meier, adding thatshe also visits nearby lakesand hiking trails with her twodogs.

    Community groups

    There is also a variety ofoutdoor community groups,including for activities suchas biking and running.

    The Carolina TarwheelsBicycling Club is one of thosegroups.

    Cynthia Shimer, cycle lead-er on Wednesdays, said ridersshould be aware of their bik-

    ing pace and match that tothe specific ride.

    Generally, when you comeout for a ride, you have to havean idea of how fast you can go.There are posted speeds thatpeople ride online, she said.

    Shimer said the group

    offers rides for new cyclistswho have never been on abike before. Local bike shopsalso rent bikes to those whodont have their own, she said.

    DIVERECOMMENDS: SUMMER MOVIES AND ALBUMS

    MONSTERS

    UNIVERSITY

    JUNE 21

    Its easy to be wary of pre-quels (see: Star Wars), butPixars upcoming prequelto its 2000 film Monsters,Inc. looks to be a fun fami-ly-friendly adventure. Pixarsmarketing for the film has

    so far been brilliant, evengoing so far as making aMonsters University websitethats a perfect likeness ofits real university counter-parts. Pixar tends to excel

    with ma king ki d-friendlymovies that also have jokesfor these kids parents andolder siblings. The studio isalso known for its strengthin creating heartwarmingstories that dont follow thetypical cheesy kids movietropes. All of these ele-ments will make MonstersUniversity one to watch.

    THE GREAT GATSBY

    MAY 10

    Director Baz Luhrmannslatest project got pushed

    back a few months, buthopefully this adaptationon F. Scott Fitzgeralds clas-sic 1925 novel will be worththe extra wait. Lurhmann isknown for his over-the-top

    films like Moulin Rougeand Romeo + Juliet, andhis signature glitz-and-glamour aesthetic will applyperfectly to the tale of JayGatsby and his exploits asa wealthy playboy duringthe Roaring Twenties. IfLurhmanns touch of razzle-dazzle isnt quite enough tospark your intrigue, considerthe fact that rapper Jay-Z isscoring the film, and the factthat its going to be releasedin 3D. Gatsby is all set to beone of the biggest storms ofthe summer.

    DAFT PUNK (5/21)RANDOM ACCESS MEMORIES

    Daft Punk has long beenan immense force when itcomes to electronic music.The French duo is known forits mystery popping up outof hiding every few years orso and dropping an album to

    blow their fans minds beforeabsconding into secrecyagain. True to its highly-secretive form, the only pre-

    view listeners have gotten area few short clips. These clipsalone have thrown people into

    a frenzy who knows whatkind of chaos the full-lengthtracks will bring?

    MIKAL CRONIN (5/7)MCII

    Mikal Cronin, also notablya guitarist for garage rockerTy Segall, is ready with hissecond full-length recordtitledMCII. The record isalso Cronins debut on MergeRecords. The record blends

    various elements of rockn roll without coming ofas cliche or boring; rather,Cronin manages to carve outa distinct sound all his own.The upbeat track Wait hasa perfect summer feel

    loose, airy, with just the rightamount of reverb to keep itfrom sounding too sterile.

    SIGUR ROS (6/18)KVEIKUR

    Icelandic post-rockersSigur Ros delighted fans lastsummer with its LP Valtari,

    which came four years afterits 2008 record,Med sud ieyrum vid spilum endalaust.Fortunately for fans, they

    wont have to wait anotherfour years for the bands nextrecord theyll barely haveto wait a couple of months.Sigur Ros is now two mem-

    bers slimmer than it wasbeforeKveikur, but its doubt-

    ful that the bands trademarkenormous sound will suffer atall from the lineup change.

    IRON & WINE (4/21)GHOST ON GHOST

    Iron & Wine frontmanSam Beam played a handfulof new tracks at his MemorialHall show on March 27, buta released mix of Gracefor Saints and Ramblersrevealed that these tunes areset to be much richer thantheir acoustic counterparts.Regardless of the style ordepth of the instrumentia-tion, Beams songwriting andlyrical deftness will undoubt-edly be the albums greatest

    strength. Like any other Iron& Wine record, expect it to bepacked with emotion.

    Students studying on cam-pus this summer wont be at aloss for things to do.

    The Carolina UnionActivities Board is planninga variety of events moreambitious than those hostedduring the school year thatare geared toward smaller

    audiences.Last summers eventsincluded strawberry pick-ing, attending Durham Bullsgames, free lunches in thePit and a trip to the LemurCenter in Durham.

    These events are paid forby summer school studentfees, said Lauren Sacks, assis-tant director of student learn-ing and activities and CUABsadviser.

    We try to plan kind ofquintessential North Carolinasummer events and activi-

    ties, she said.A lot of times they may be

    a little further out and mightnot be something students

    would otherwise do on theirown, she said.

    Although planning wontofficially begin for anotherfew weeks, Sacks said herteam will be repeating manyof the events from previoussummers.

    One of the biggest hits isfree food, she said, whetherits in the Pit or a barbecue ata concert.

    CUAB will once againfocus on free food, which is

    especially important becausedining hall options are lim-ited, Sacks said.

    Freshman MatthewJohnsrude, who plans ontaking summer courses,said although he might notsign up for the field trips, he

    would definitely be interestedin the free food.

    These events sound likethey will be a good break toease the tension and relievethe stress of summer classes,Johnsrude said.

    Freshman Nicole Frydman

    We try to plan kind of quintessential NorthCarolina summer events and activities.Lauren sack,

    CUaBs ssistnt director of student lerning nd ctivities

    said she hadnt heard of sum-mer CUAB events before, butadded that they sounded likea lot of fun.

    This is my first year doinga summer session, but I defi-nitely think it will be helpfulto have planned excursions,especially since I am fromout of state, so Im not com-pletely familiar with what to

    do around Chapel Hill, shesaid.CUAB President Tom Low

    said past summer events havehad high levels of studentparticipation, especially fromgraduate students.

    The summer events aredifferent in that theyre lessabout programming andmore about just bringingpeople together and hangingout, he said.

    Having taken a few sum-mer classes himself, Low saidits important to give students

    a break from their intensivestudies in the summer.

    Kate Garand, a graduateschool student who is helpingplan events for the summer,echoed Lows opinion.

    CUAB is here for thatvery reason, to give studentsa break and provide students

    with something fun to do,Garand said.

    CUAB members said theyare always looking for studentinput and want to know whatevents students would liketo see.

    Students can email CUABmembers directly or come tothe office in person, Low said.

    To learn more aboutCUAB events, attend summerschools Summer InformationFair and Picnic on May 13 inthe Pit.

    By Sarah HeadleyStaff Writer

    Students taking summerschool have a choice to make:either live on campus andspend more money, or moveoff campus and deal with fur-niture and subleasing.

    On campus

    UNCs housing options areflexible. Students can choose

    housing by summer session,including Maymester, andcan choose from a combina-tion of sessions.

    Only a limited num-ber of dorms a re ope n onnorth campus, said MichaelHearn, the assignmentsofficer for the Departmentof Housing and ResidentialEducation.

    These are Lewis, Stacy,Ruffin, Manly, Old West,Everett, Grimes, andMangum residence halls, hesaid.

    Ram Village Apartmentsand Odum Village

    Apartments are also openfor the summer on South

    Campus.

    Students sticking aroundon campus this summer mightcome across a few robots and a younger crowd.

    When UNC empties ofabout half its population eachsummer, most of the dormsare opened up to outsidegroups, including a variety ofcamps and conferences.

    Some of the campers playbasketball. Others make

    music. Some even createrobots.

    Both UNC ConferenceOperations and GranvilleTowers coordinate livingspace for these visitors.

    Part of the Departmentof Housing and ResidentialEducation, UNC ConferenceOperations, brought in $1.2million in revenue last sum-mer, said Assistant DirectorRick Bradley.

    This money helps offsetdorm prices for studentsduring the school year, hesaid.

    Bradley said the depart-ment hosts about 70 groupseach summer, which can

    range from 15 to 1,000 par-ticipants.

    For Granville Towers, thenumber of groups is 45, said

    Allison Kenney, assistant gen-eral manager.

    Students who are oncampus during the summershould expect to see a widerage range, Bradley said.

    Cm will giwelcme ygetet thi ye.

    This includes the iD TechCamps, which teaches 7- to17-year-olds technology skills including building robots,creating Mad Libs and pro-gramming video games, saidJen Devine, regional manager.

    (UNC is) an incrediblyprestigious school, and thatsour premise we want kidsto go to a program and expe-rience a university where theymay want to go, said KarenThurm Safran, vice presidentof marketing and businessdevelopment.

    This is iD Tech Camps 11th

    summer at UNC, she said.Another group is the

    Eric Montross Fathers DayBasketball Camp, which ishosted through GranvilleTowers.

    In its 19th year, the camp ishosted on Fathers Day week-end, Montross said. Campersand their dads learn about

    basketball and philanthropyat the Smith Center.

    Montross, who playedbasketb all at UNC in the1990s, said camp proceedsgo to the N.C. ChildrensHospital.

    Although the participantsdont spend much time oncampus, they can still befound exploring the area withtheir aching dads, Montrosssaid.

    Theyll trump up anddown Franklin Street withtheir jerseys on, he said.

    Sometimes, younger camp-ers provide different chal-lenges to UNC Housing andGranville.

    About 10 years ago,some young visitors stuckpaper towels into a toilet inMorrison Residence Hall,

    Bradley said.This caused a flood, result-

    ing in six inches of standingwater and several thousanddollars worth of damage, hesaid.

    Bradley said kids willsometimes move thingsaround in the rooms andleave behind pizza boxes.

    All the kinds of thingsyoud expect when youngerkids are in the building,Bradley said.

    Whatever you do, anynegotiations you have withthe landlord, put it in writ-ing with their signature, shesaid.

    Since the original personon the lease is ultimatelyresponsible for any dam-age done to the apartmentor house, Bernholz sug-gested doing a walk-throughinspection and takingphotographs before anyonemoves in.

    She said the lease-holdercan also provide furniture to

    the subletter, but studentsshould come to an agreementon this before signing any-thing.

    Regardless of promises,get everything in writing, shesaid.

    Summer housing:finding a place to stay

    UNC hosts a variety ofsummer camps, groups

    But students taking aMaymester course cantsign up for just those three

    weeks and would have to paythrough the end of summersession I.

    Subletting

    For students who dontwish to pay residence hallrates, subletting an apart-ment or house is an option.

    I looked at staying ina dorm over the summer

    because I was only going tobe here for one summer ses-sion, but to me that was veryexpensive, said junior KellySweeney.

    Sweeney said she sublet-ted in a house last summerfor one session and found thehome through UNC groupson Facebook. She said manyhousing options are discount-ed during the summer.

    Renting, at least over thesummer, is very easy becauseso many people are trying tofind subletters, she said.

    Students preparing to sub-let, whether as the subletter

    or the sublettee, should go toUNC Legal Services for freeadvice, said director DorothyBernholz .

    She said students whowant to sublet out their homeduring the summer shouldfirst check with their landlordto make sure this is allowed inthe lease.

    Junior Abbey Friend has been a leader since her freshman year.

    By Grace RaynorStaff Writer

    Before she enrolled atUNC, Abbey Friend held fiveindoor track records for herNew York high school.

    Friend is not on the UNCtrack team, nor does she evenremember the specific eventsin which she excelled.

    But she does rememberthat running track beyond thehigh school level was neverpart of her plan. It was just anenjoyable way to stay in shapefor the sport she fell in love

    with so long ago lacrosse.After the summer lacrosse

    season was over, my dadwould be like, Okay, put yourstick away, go play soccer, gorun around with your friends,do stuff like that, she said.

    But I always knew thatlacrosse was my main focusand my main goal. I always

    knew that lacrosse was going

    to be the path that I followed.Her intuition was correct

    and unsurprising.Growing up in a family full

    of lacrosse players, it was onlynatural that she follow in thefootsteps of her father and

    two sisters.My dad played lacrosse in

    college, and then both my sis-ters played at the University ofRichmond, she said.

    But unlike her sisters,Friend would head furthersouth. Enthralled by its aca-demics and athletics, Frienddecided to attend UNC andplay for the Tar Heels.

    Her decision thrilled coachJenny Levy.

    We knew that she wasclose with her family, but ulti-mately we felt like Carolina

    would be a great fit for her,Levy said. She couldve goneanywhere in the country, and

    we just felt lucky that she

    chose us.

    That gratefulness hasntwavered in the past three sea-sons, as Friends dynamic playhave served the squad well.

    She was named the ACCRookie of the Year in 2011and earned All-ACC honorslast season as a sophomore.

    She feels like her contri-bution is putting balls in theback of the net, scoring goals,Levy said. So thats what shestasked to do, and thats whather role is on our team.

    Friend has registered morethan 100 goals during hertwo and a half seasons. She

    beat the keeper 52 times lastseason to lead an offensivelytop-heavy team in scoring.

    We can always dependon her taking a shot, team-mate and senior captainKara Cannizzaro said. Weknow that if she gets the ballshes going to go to cage. Weknow that shes going to make

    something happen.

    But Friend said her goal-scoring isnt all she has to offer.

    When she was thrust intothe lineup her freshman year,the upperclassmen were cru-cial to her acclimation. Now,as a junior, she wants to pro-

    vide that same support to theteams younger players.

    Ive kind of been in thatsituation where things mightnot be going your way in agame, and its really impor-tant to have the feeling thatthe upperclassmen and therole models on the team have

    your back, she said.Though unsure of her post-

    college plans, Friend couldfollow in one of her sistersfootsteps yet again.

    My sister coaches at OldDominion, so well see,Friend said. Maybe some-thing like that.

    North Carolina bats heating up

    Youve got a Friend in womens lacrosse

    By Daniel WilcoStaff Writer

    In early February, beforethe first pitch of the seasonhad been thrown for NorthCarolina softball, seniorHaleigh Dickey said she andher teammates had highexpectations for themselves.

    I think we all expect towin the ACC Championship,be regular season champions

    as well and get past regionalsthis year, she said.

    And in early February, theTar Heels had reason to be asconfident as they were. They

    were ranked No. 22 in thepreseason poll and picked tocome out on top of the ACC

    by the conferences coaches.Their success was based on

    a solid 2012 season, in whichUNC finished 43-15 and cap-tured the ACC regular seasontitle, but were eliminated byGeorgia in the regional bracketof the NCAA Tournament.

    Weve been to regionals,weve been in the champion-ship game, coach Donna Papasaid before the season. We

    want to take that next big step,

    which is super-regionals.So far, UNC has been

    swinging in and out of theupper reaches of the top 25.

    After a rough 1-4 weekwith two losses to rankedteams, UNC has responded

    with an impressive 9-3 run.

    Weve just been trying tofocus on having quality at-bats,playing solid defense, havinggood pitching, Papa said. Justnever being out of a game.

    The Tar Heels will need allthe quality at-bats they canget because of the 15 gamesremaining in their regularseason, 12 are against ACCteams and North Carolina isranked fourth in the confer-ence, in which it has a 6-3

    record as of April 4.The biggest thing going

    forward in some of thesegames is weve got to find a

    way to finish, Papa said. Wehave the hitters, its a matterof putting it together.

    As of late, that has not

    been a problem for NorthCarolina. Its bats have wokenup and provided strong runsupport for junior pitchingace Lori Spingola.

    During their most recent9-3 stretch, the Tar Heelsaveraged 5.25 runs per game

    while only allowing 2.75.But as effective as the team

    has been at some points thisseason, small stretches of

    wins arent enough to satisfy

    the Tar Heels, who have onlyone thing on their mind.

    We want to be better thanwe were last year, Papa said.Good is the enemy of great.

    The road back to Omaha

    By Carlos CollazoStaff Writer

    Through the first 31 gamesof the season, the NorthCarolina baseball team hasnt

    been anything but No. 1.If the coaches and players

    have it their way, it will staylike that until the final gamein Omaha, Neb., when theylift the College World Seriestrophy for the first time inschool history.

    The start of the 2013season is as promising asany the Tar Heels have seenin recent years. Led by a

    top-ranked starting rota-tion featuring pitchers KentEmmanuel, Benton Moss,Hobbs Johnson and TrentThornton, North Carolinas

    bullpen is one of the stron-gest in the country a traitthat coach Mike Fox said iscrucial.

    Weve got the capability ofbeing a good offensive team,but pitching is the name ofthe game, Fox said.

    Emmanuel is 5-1 with a1.16 ERA, Moss is 6-0 witha 1.73 ERA and Thornton, afreshman, is 6-0 with a .68ERA.

    With pi tching injuri esbeing a ll too common ,UNCs pitching depth has

    been ev en more impor-tant. Thornton has steppedup and assumed a bigger

    UNC left fielder Skye Bolt (20) scores off of a sacrifice fly in the Tar Heels season opening win against Seton Hall on Feb. 15. The Tar Heels won the game 1-0 and Bolt has

    By Max MiceliStaff Writer

    For both the NorthCarolina mens and womenslacrosse teams, the 2012season ended short of theiridentical goal a nationalchampionship.

    Though both squads wereranked when tournamenttime came, this years teamsappear to be even more pre-pared than last years to maketitle runs.

    For the mens team, anearly first-round exit in 2012at the hands of Denver leftthe team with a bad taste inits mouth.

    We just didnt do enoughto win the game, coach JoeBreschi said. But we foughtlike hell.

    This year, with a combi-nation of fresh young talentand veteran leadership, theTar Heels are looking to godeeper into the tournamentthan they have in the recentpast.

    With freshmen likedefenseman Evan Connell,goalkeeper Kieran Burkeand midfielder Jake Matthaiplaying important roles onthe defensive end, UNChas added young talent to adefense that was less thanstellar last season.

    In the midfield, freshmenSteve Pontrello and SpencerParks have also stepped in tomake an immediate differ-ence.

    But despite having a slewof freshmen playing sig-nificant roles this season, thereturning players will be thekey in driving the Tar Heels toa national title.

    With three starting attack-men returning JimmyBitter, Joey Sankey andMarcus Holman the TarHeels hope that their experi-ence will carry them throughthe tournaments as it has sofar in the regular season.

    When all three of us areplaying well, our offense will

    be extremely difficult to stop,Bitter said. Were all capableof putting up big points.

    In an attempt to pushhis team to a nationalchampionship, Breschi hasscheduled for the Tar Heels

    what he f eels is t he tough eststring of opponents in thenation.

    Breschi said by playing asmany as three ranked teamsin 10 days during the regularseason, UNC has been pre-paring to make a deep playoffrun.

    While the womens lacrosseteam at least made it to thequarterfinals of the 2012tournament, its run for atitle was cut short when theTar Heels lost in a one-goalshoot-out against the even-tual runner-up Syracuse.

    There were a lot ofwoulda-coulda-shouldamoments that might havechanged the outcome,coach Jenny Levy said of theseason-ending contest. The

    quality of play was very highon both sides.

    Levy said that UNCs gameagainst the Orange couldhave easily been the nationalchampionship game.

    And in a similar fashion tothe mens team, the womensteam has been doing its bestto replicate potential titlematchups during the regularseason.

    UNC isnt just playing thebest teams in the na tion,though. Theyre beatingthem.

    With wins against teamslike reigning national cham-pion Northwestern and rivalDuke, the Tar Heels strung

    together a double-digit winstreak in the first half of theseason before eventually los-ing to Maryland.

    The hard work done dur-ing the regular season by themens and womens lacrosseteams puts each in contentionfor capturing the nationaltitle that eluded both in theprevious season.

    The lacrosse teams

    are working hard tomake a run for titles.

    role on the team duringJohnsons struggle to returnfrom a forearm injury.

    (Im) happy we got thewin, Johnson said after a winagainst Miami. But I didntfeel like I pitched very well.I am still working my way

    back, but Id like to be a littlesharper.

    Until that time comes,the Tar Heels are more thanhappy to have Thornton takethe mound.

    Although UNCs pitch-ing has been key in its wins,an improved offense vaultsUNC to another level. ColinMoran anchors UNCs battingorder from the third spot, andis hitting .381 with a team-leading seven home runs and40 RBIs.

    Skye Bolt and Cody Stubbsalso pack a significant punchin a lineup that has scored 10or more runs 14 times so farthis season.

    Every time the top of theorder comes up, I feel like

    were going to score a run,Stubbs said. We have a greatchance to put at least oneacross, if not two.

    This season UNC hasscored 271 runs in 31 games

    while allowing just 73.With such good pitching

    combined with an offensethat is putting so many runsacross the plate, it seemsunlikely that the Tar Heels

    will be denied a trip to theCollege World Series.

    But Fox knows that in theend, the Tar Heels play in thefirst half of the season isnt

    what counts.No one is going to remem-

    ber how you start the season.They are going to rememberhow you finish it.

    And winning the firstCollege World Series in schoolhistory would certainly be alasting legacy for this years

    baseball team.
