Budget Cuts

tuition increases set by general assemblyBY Brian austinSenior writer

Before the semester has even begun, the University likely has set rates for next year’s tuition increase for the bulk of students on campus.

The state budget, signed into law Aug. 7, mandates that tuition will increase by $200 for every undergraduate student on campus for the 2010-11 school year.

That increase is typical for in-state undergraduate, but is sig-nificantly lower than the standard out-of-state student increase.

Under state law, UNC-system schools are prohibited from increasing tuition beyond that $200 for in-state students, which effectively negates the University’s often-controversial tuition talks.

Usually, the University assem-bles a tuition task force in the fall that makes recommendations to the chancellor and the Board of Trustees with input from students, faculty and administration. But this year, there isn’t a need for that.

“A tuition process is extremely unlikely given the specificity of the language in the budget,” said Dwayne

Pinkney, assistant vice chancellor for finance and administration.

Graduate students would also be bound by the mandated increase unless their schools’ tuition hikes were approved by the UNC-system earlier this year. Some schools estab-lish these rates on a two-year basis.

But all of this could change as the state budget situation improves or deteriorates. The tuition provi-sions will be reevaluated during the N.C. General Assembly’s short session next summer.

While the University will not be able to further increase tuition for residents, non-resident students weren’t technically afforded the same guarantees, though top University administrators seem unaware that these students are exempt.

Administration officials said they are planning to apply the $200 increase across the board, to both residents and non-residents.

This increase is more or less in line with the $160 increase to in-state students last year and repre-sents a tuition increase of about 5

A state budget that cuts about $37.5 million from UNC won’t be apparent in the classroom but could severely impact almost every other area of campus.

Because of the University’s revenue structure and what state money is used for, the cuts fall most heavily on centers and insti-tutes, administrative functions and support services. The University will lay off about 100 employees.

About $20 million of the cuts come from personnel, operations and utility costs. The University will have less money to spend on replacing outdated equipment and buying new library books.

But administrators said they shielded academics from the cuts, and students should see little impact from the state’s work.

“The cuts come in areas that are not directly involved in instruc-tion,” said Dick Mann, vice chan-cellor for finance and administra-tion. “We tried to hit those areas harder than the academic areas.”

State appropriations make up about a quarter of the University’s more than $2 billion budget, but they are tied up in several key expenses, including salaries.

Despite increases in money

appropriated for financial aid and enrollment growth, UNC likely will see a decrease from last year in the total money it receives, though administrators said they will not have final numbers for several weeks.

And though the budget is final-ized, the state could still ask UNC to return some of the money it receives, which happened last year.

“It is too early to know the final impact,” said Bruce Carney, interim executive vice chancellor and pro-vost. “I have a deep worry that a shift in the economy could put us in an even more severe position.”

The final cut — a combination of an approximately 7 percent reduction by the budget and Gov. Bev Perdue’s decision to withhold 5 percent from each state agen-cy’s monthly allotment — totals about 12 percent of UNC’s state appropriations.

While the governor’s request squeezes UNC further, administra-tors say it will prevent a series of suc-cessive cuts similar to last year that made financial planning difficult.

“I’d rather have them do this now,” Mann said. “Now we know how to operate for the rest of the year.”

unC to focus on efficiency

BY KEvin KiLEYUniverSity eDitor

Spurred by a report released this summer, University officials will spend the year working to reduce bureaucracy, eliminate redundant functions and reverse a trend of expanding administrative costs.

The study, conducted by efficien-cy consultants Bain & Company on an anonymous donation, found that UNC is administration-heavy and decentralized, which hampers its day-to-day operations.

Chancellor Holden Thorp called the report “107 pages of acronyms,” indicating that the report’s busi-ness jargon, organizational dia-grams, and wordy explanations of methodology render it a difficult read. But the report makes recom-mendations that could lead to a dramatic restructuring of the way that UNC does business, which in turn may result in millions of dol-lars in savings.

“It could very much change the culture of this place,” said Dick

Bain says administration too complex dtH ONLINe: wade through the entire 107-page bain & Company report.

Organizational structure: the University’s complex organi-zational structure is nine layers deep in some areas. More than half of supervisors have three or fewer people reporting to them, which leads to small departments. administrative costs have grown at a faster rate than academic costs.

Purchasing: Decentralized purchasing has led to buying from too many vendors, and systems are not automated or connected.

information technology: Distribution of functions across campus has led to redundant infrastructure, a fragmented decision-making process and a lack of confidence in the ability to provide support.

Finance: Finance personnel deal mostly with transactions instead

of creating long-term strategy.

Human resources: Central human resources offices interact with other campus offices with a variety of Hr experience, which complicates management. UnC’s human resources organization is further complicated by the state personnel system.

Centers & institutes: the distribution of centers and institutes results in no standard reporting, inconsistent manage-ment policies, and separate finance, it and human resource functions.

research support & Compliance: non-standardized research support services make it difficult for offices to deal with increased demand. Some research support services overlap in responsibility.

the bain report established 10 options for UnC to improve efficiencies. Here are some main themes of the report:

dKE president shot to deathBY Brian austin anD anDrEW HarrELLSenior writerS

Courtland Smith, a junior biology major from Texas and president of the UNC chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, was shot to death by police early Sunday morning.

Smith was pronounced dead at 6:03 a.m. Sunday after being admitted to High Point Regional Hospital, said hospital spokesman Aaron Wall.

He was shot by police in Archdale, about 15 miles south of

Greensboro, during a confronta-tion with an officer.

A news release from the Archdale Police Department states a Caucasian male in his early 20s was shot during a confrontation with police early Sunday morning on Interstate 85.

According to the news release, police stopped the individual’s car after he called officers to say he needed help and was suicidal.

Multiple sources, including Wall and his supervisors, confirmed that Smith is the person described in

the police reports. The incident is under review by

the State Bureau of Investigation, which has instructed UNC adminis-trators not to comment. SBI inves-tigates whenever local law enforce-ment request assistance on a case.

Fall Fest food draws the crowds

DtH/JeSSey Dearing

The smell of 2,000 free barbe-cue sandwiches wafted through Sunday’s humid night air. People jostled for space in a crowd of about 20,000 revelers on South Road.

Fall Fest 2009 was on.More than 200 student groups

set up tables and tried to lure new members with everything from dance lessons to drink cozies. Students linked arms to sing the alma mater as the marching band serenaded the NCAA men’s basket-ball champions.

Fall Fest, the unofficial kick-off of the school year, is a tra-dition that began 13 years ago. University officials decided stu-dents needed a positive outlet for celebration instead of the alcohol consumption that led to numer-ous arrests the year before, said Don Luse, director of the Student Union.

Fall Fest has become a UNC tra-dition that attracts large numbers

of students to South Road before classes begin.

“It seems to be the kind of thing that not only new students get introduced, but students who’ve been here reconnect with their friends,” Luse said.

According to Scott Myers, direc-tor of food services and vending, free food given out included:

n  3,000 corn dogsn  5,500 slices of pizzan  6,500 bagelsn  18,000 assorted beveragesAbout 30 minutes into the festivi-

ties, freshman Aviv Sheetrit said she was having a great time at Fall Fest.

“I’m kind of intimidated by all the student groups but it’s exhila-rating at the same time,” she said. “I’m going to try to sign up for a whole bunch of clubs and really get involved.”

And the free food? “Definitely a plus,” she said, laughing.

“It could very much change the culture of this place,” said Dick Mann, vice chancellor for finance and administration.

Chief among the report’s findings is that in regards to personnel, the University has a complicated orga-nizational structure that impacts almost every aspect of business. At some points, the chain of command is nine layers deep.

A majority of administrators only manage one to three people. In the past few years, administra-tive costs have increased at a faster rate than academic costs.

UNC officials said several things could explain the trend, including more research activities that require services and government mandates that create new positions.

The University is also highly decentralized when it comes ser-vices, including human resources and information technology.

Many employees feared that the report would call for central-izing these functions, which would decrease departmental indepen-dence. But the main recommen-dations call for ensuring that these services are provided at the same level across the school.

“The report did not tell us to centralize every single function,” Thorp said. “That is not what we’re going to do.”

cAMPUs BrieFsunC once again ranked fifth best public university in u.s.

UNC is the fifth best public uni-versity in the nation for the ninth consecutive year, according to the annual list in U.S. News & World Report magazine.

The rankings were released in the magazine’s 2010 edition of the “America’s Best Colleges” guide-book. Placements are based in part on a formula combining opinion survey responses from college offi-cials, as well as 15 objective indica-tors of academic quality.

The University of California at Berkeley ranked first on the public university list. In a ranking of both public and private universities, UNC was named 28th in a tie with Tufts University and Wake Forest University.

Duke University placed 10th and N.C. State placed 88th. N.C. Central University ranked 10th among the nation’s historically black universities.

$1.2 million in scholarships awarded to new freshmen

Freshmen c lass members received almost $1.2 million in aca-demic scholarships from UNC.

The total value of the gifts amounts to almost $4.8 million, because they are renewable for each year of undergraduate study. Strong academic achievement was the focus of many of the scholar-ships. Others also looked for a com-mitment to community service.

ciTY BrieFsBus route from Chapel Hill to Pittsboro starts today

A new bus route will run from Pittsboro to UNC along U.S. 15-501, providing a public transit option for commuters beginning today.

Chapel Hill Transit partnered with the Town of Pittsboro and Chatham County to fund the PX route.

The first week of service will be free for riders. After that, one-way fare costs $3. A $65 monthly pass is also being offered.

Primary stops on the route include the Chatham County court-house, Lowe’s Drive park and ride lot and two stops at Fearrington Village. Chapel Hill stops include UNC Hospitals, the Student Union and the State Employees’ Credit Union on Pittsboro Street.

The PX route also will offer a free pickup service for pass holders who miss their bus between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Passes can be purchased at Piggly Wiggly in Pittsboro, Chapel Hill Town Hall and Pittsboro Town Hall.

Court statements implicate Lovette in another killing

Lawrence Alvin Lovette, one of the men charged with killing for-mer Student Body President Eve Carson in March 2008, has made statements implicating himself in the killing of a Duke student.

The lawyer for Stephen Oates, who is accused of killing Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato, filed motions earlier this month claiming that Lovette told a friend he and someone named “Phillip” forced Mahato to accompany them to an ATM machine, forcing him to make a withdrawal, then robbed him of his cell phone and iPod before killing him.

student insurance required by 2010BY EMiLY stEPHEnsOnSenior writer

UNC-system students must have health insurance by fall 2010, a policy approved this month by the system’s governing body.

T he Board of G overnors approved a plan to create a system-wide insurance plan that students at all 16 schools can purchase.

Students who don’t buy the plan will have to demonstrate credit-able coverage through a parent, employer or other source.

UNC schools offer campus insur-ance plans, but they offer different premiums, deductibles and benefits, said Bruce Mallette, UNC-system senior associate vice president for academic and student affairs.

“Each campus doesn’t have the same common base plan,” Mallette said. “Everything is a little bit dif-ferent. We’re trying to find a com-mon bond, a common base for everything.”

According to documents from an Aug. 14 Board of Governors meet-ing, student premiums in the 2008-2009 school year ranged from $380

at the UNC School of the Arts to $1,565 at UNC-Chapel Hill.

Thirteen UNC schools have joined a consortium and purchase insurance from the same vendor, but Mallette said even those cam-puses don’t offer uniform plans.

Officials said they hope to create a base plan under one provider with lower premiums, between $549 and $679 under one proposal. All cam-puses would offer the basic plan with the option of expanding coverage.

“We’re simply using our mar-ket muscle,” Mallette said, echo-ing a phrase from UNC-system President Erskine Bowles.

“It’s much more competitive if you go to the marketplace and say, ‘This is what we want.’”

Student leaders discussed the proposals during the summer and decided they could support both the insurance requirement and a uniform plan, said Greg Doucette, president of the Association of Student Governments. ASG is a statewide student government organization with representatives from all UNC-system schools.

Eleven UNC schools already require students to have insurance. Five schools, including UNC-CH, offer student insurance but don’t require coverage.

“A mandatory health insurance requirement is becoming increas-ingly common among colleges and universities,” stated Dr. Mary Covington, UNC-CH’s assistant vice chancellor for campus health services, in an e-mail.

The University of Virginia requires insurance, and Covington said some UNC-CH graduate programs already require insurance. Most years, about 10 percent of UNC-CH undergradu-ate students are uninsured.

Mallette said he expects an insur-ance plan draft to be finished by Sept. 1, allowing officials to select a vendor in January.

The two vendors currently serv-ing the UNC system are BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina and Pearce & Pearce Inc., which spe-cializes in student insurance.

RALEIGH — N.C. community colleges are poised to change their policy on the admission of illegal immigrants, this time allowing them to attend, for the fifth time in nine years.

The policy committee of the N.C. State Board of Community Colleges reached an agreement Thursday on a new policy that would allow ille-gal immigrants to attend commu-nity colleges at out-of-state tuition rates as long as there are enough seats for legal residents.

The new policy item will be voted on at the board’s monthly meeting in September, but Stuart Fountain, chairman of the policy committee, said he didn’t foresee any obstacles to passing it.

“From the first reading, every-one seemed to be pretty comfort-able with it,” he said.

“While we normally move at the all-deliberate speed of a glacier, we’ve been working on this since June and we’re satisfied that what we have is a very fair, very workable policy.”

If passed, the policy will be evalu-ated in the rules and regulations committee for six to 12 months before becoming an official policy.

In 2001, the state board issued a memorandum allowing the admis-sion of illegal immigrants only if they met narrow federal guidelines for eligibility.

In Aug. 2004, then-president of N.C. Community Colleges Martin Lancaster opened admission to all illegal immigrants. Later that month, Lancaster issued another statement saying that no community college was required to admit them.

The current debate began in May 2008, when former Gov. Mike Easley told the community college system that it could decide itself whether to accept illegal immigrants. The board temporarily banned illegal immigra-tions from attending while it consid-ered a permanent policy.

Fountain said he anticipates that illegal immigrants will be able to once again attend beginning in fall 2010 with the new policy.

Illegal immigrants will have to pay roughly $7,000 a year at most com-munity colleges in North Carolina. Fountain said the high cost would likely prevent a large number of ille-gal immigrants from attending, and those who did attend wouldn’t place a financial burden on the system.

“In fact, we stand to make a little bit of money,” he said.

But there still remains some divi-sion on community college campuses across the state as to whether indi-vidual colleges should admit illegal immigrants, said Jonathan Furnas, president of N4CSGA, the associa-tion of student governments for the N.C. community college system.

“There’s a lot of division,” Furnas said. “There are some very differing opinions among students.”

Ron Bilbao, president of the UNC organization Coalition for College Access, which lobbied last year for a policy admitting illegal immigrants, said that while the policy might set a good precedent, it won’t stop the state legislature from banning their admission.

“Every single year there is a piece of legislature that comes up to ban admission, and we can’t have that happen this year — we have to focus at the federal level.”

glance at summer’s top 5 political shake-upsBY MarK aBaDiaSSiStant City eDitor

In the next few months, 24 can-didates will vie for 12 open seats in local town government.

Action started this summer when candidates announced their plans and some incumbents resigned.

Here are the top five things you might have missed:

T h e m a n C h a p e l H i l l residents have c a l l e d t h e i r mayor for eight years is consid-ering running for a new title: senator.

Kevin Foy, who has served as the town’s mayor since 2001, has said he is considering a race for the U.S.

Senate next November. Foy would challenge incumbent Richard Burr for the seat.

The leap would be significant: Foy’s constituency would mush-room from about 50,000 to more than 9 million.

Foy announced in late May he would not seek election to a fifth term as mayor of Chapel Hill.

“I’ve given a lot of thought to whether I should ask vot-ers to elect me again this fall,” Foy wrote in a statement. “But because I have accomplished the things that I set out to do when I first ran for mayor in 2001, I am not going to run for re-election this year.”

To fill the office, Augustus Cho, Kevin Wolff, and current council members Matt Czajkowski and Mark Kleinschmidt all filed in July to participate in the election.

Foy has until the filing deadline —March 1, 2010 — to make up his mind.

Bill Strom caused a stir in the election season when he resigned from the Chapel Hill Town Council e a r l i e r t h i s month.

Strom was in the middle of serving his third term as council member when he announced his resignation July 30.

But it wasn’t the resignation itself that caused controversy as much as his timing: Strom resigned two weeks after the fil-ing window closed, meaning any hopeful candidate missed out on the chance to run for his empty seat. Now the council gets to appoint Strom’s replacement.

The council will begin discuss-

ing potential appointees at their Sept. 14 meeting.

“I haven’t talked to him, so I have no idea who he wanted,” council member Laurin Easthom said. “But he’s not the one making that decision, so that doesn’t really matter.”

A program designed to level the playing field this election has been generally rejected by its candidates.

This year, Chapel Hill is test-ing out the voter-owned election system, which limits the amount of money candidates can spend and requires them to fundraise in order to receive public grants.

But so far, only two of the 12 candidates for mayor and town council — Kleinschmidt and Penny Rich — are participating in the program. Candidates can opt in to the program until Oct. 16.

The overall rejection of the sys-

tem has called into question the role of money in local elections.

Ruby Sinreich, operator of the left-leaning OrangePolitics blog, said voter-owned elections were necessary to prevent politicians from buying elections. She pointed to the 2007 town council election, when Czajkowski beat Cam Hill by only 63 votes, to prove her point.

“Matt spent over $10,000. Cam spent no money,” she said. “If you don’t think money had an influence there, you probably weren’t paying attention.”

Ci t i zens for Respons ib le Government, a group primarily composed of local business owners, is looking to make sure downtown development remains a focal point of this year’s election.

Alvaro Castillo was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of first-degree murder Friday.

The 22-year-old Orange High School graduate shot and killed his father, Rafael Huez Castillo, and opened fire at his high school on Aug. 30, 2006 in an effort to mimic the 1999 Columbine school shooting.

After close to three weeks of court hearings, the 12-person jury delib-erated for a little more than eight hours before deciding Castillo was not criminally insane, as the defense had argued.

In a CNN video recorded after the verdict was announced, Castillo said, “I shocked and hurt a lot of people, but that wasn’t my intention. I sim-ply wanted to help, but now I realize that what I did was wrong.”

Attorneys presented evidence, including videos Castillo had record-ed of himself after shooting his father and diary entries detailing his plans for a school shooting.

“I must have shot him four or five times in the head. Nothing can bring him back. He’s dead … I’ll show you,” Castillo said in the video.

While both the defense and prosecution agreed that Castillo was mentally ill, jurors had to decide whether that mental illness constituted criminal insanity.

“This was a unique case because

it had a very narrow point of con-tention and that was, was he insane at the time he committed the acts?” District Attorney Jim Woodall said in an interview. “Even though we all agreed he was seriously mentally ill, that falls far short of insanity.”

Carrboro aldermen to discuss vacant postBY MattHEW MCGiBnEYStaFF writer

After a surprise resignation, John Herrera’s seat on the Carrboro Board of Aldermen might remain empty until his term ends in December.

By law, the board has the respon-sibility of filling his seat.

At Tuesday’s regular meeting, the board will discuss whether they will immediately fill it. Because state law doesn’t give a deadline, Mayor Mark Chilton said the board might leave his seat vacant until after the November elections.

Five people are running for three open seats.

Herrera tendered his resignation Thursday as a Board of Aldermen member and town mayor pro tem

citing family obligations. Herrera’s recent marriage made him stepfa-ther of three children, in addition to three from his first marriage.

“With six kids, my hands are full,” Herrera said. “I think people will understand what I’m going through and that my priorities are now on my family and kids.”

Herrera, the state’s first immigrant Latino elected to municipal office, had said earlier this summer that he wouldn’t run again this year.

He decided to cut his term short when a larger house in Holly Springs became available.

Because Herrera would no lon-ger live in Carrboro, he said he felt the best way to avoid any complica-tions would be to step down for the

remainder of his term. His resignation raised fewer ques-

tions than that of Chapel Hill Town Council’s Bill Strom, who left right after the filing deadline for elections, leaving his seat up for appointment instead of election.

Joal Hall Broun has been on the Board of Aldermen during Herrera’s entire tenure, which started in 2001. She said he always brought a unique vision to the board.

“Even when we disagreed, he was the type of person you could just agree to disagree with,” Broun said.

Herrera’s mayor pro tem position would most likely be moved to the most senior member of the board, Jacquie Gist.

“It’s not an awesome responsibil-

ity,” Chilton said. “It’s usually a cer-emonial post.”

Herrera has endorsed Sammy Slade, the race’s only Latino candi-date, either to be appointed within the next few weeks to serve the remainder of Herrera’s term or to be elected in November.

Journalism project aims to unite neighborhood

CoUrteSy oF JoCk LaUterer

Members of Jock Lauterer’s photojournalism class pose in front of their photo exhibit in Durham. they will contribute to a new publication this fall.

BY EMiLY KEnnarDaSSiStant FeatUreS eDitor

Fourteen-year-old Durham resident Rosalia Preiss knew little about journalism before she took Jock Lauterer’s photography class this past summer.

“I have always been interested in photography, but I never had the chance to do it,” she said. “This class showed me what journalism is like, and it seems pretty cool.”

Introducing Preiss to photography meant success for Lauterer, a lectur-er in the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication and director of the Carolina Community Media Project.

Lauterer’s community journal-ism class, in conjunction with journalism students at N.C. Central University, is using a newspaper project to keep high-risk Durham teens out of trouble and more interested in college.

The project, known as the Community Newspaper for Northeast Central Durham, was thought up by a UNC city and regional planning graduate class more than a year ago. It allows teenagers to help in the production of a newspaper produced by UNC and NCCU students.

“Our future goal is to hand this off to the community, and they can take over it,” said Mai Nguyen, assistant professor in the department.

Nguyen assigned her class to brainstorm ways to revitalize Northeast Durham with grant money.

“One of the things they came up

with was fixing the misconception about the area,” Nguyen said. “The media coverage about the area is typically negative.”

City and regional planning grad-uate student Hye-sung Han, came up with the idea of giving the neigh-borhood its own publication.

“What’s most important in a strug-gling neighborhood is for people to have a sense of belonging,” Han said. Han and Nguyen contacted Lauterer for help with journalistic aspects of the project, such as finding staff, space and equipment.

In an effort to strengthen the proj-ect, Lauterer and UNC journalism student Carly Brantmeyer taught free photography classes for Durham

teens during the past year.Damion Graves , 17, took

Lauterer’s photography class dur-ing the summer and said it expand-ed his interest in photography.

“I wanted to learn more,” he said, “Now I know not just about what you see in the picture, but why you took that picture and what’s inside the picture.”

The first online publication, called the Northeast Central Durham Community VOICE, is set to debut Sept. 23.

“It’s called the VOICE because this is a community that deserves to have its voice heard,” Lauterer said.

The publication will be in online format for the first five monthly publications and will be converted into print format afterward.

Lauterer said seeing the print version of the VOICE will be grati-fying, but the largest reward will be seeing kids be involved and succeed personally.

“When they walk across a gradu-ation stage, that will be a measure of success right there.”

Energy director reaches outBY rEBECCa PuttErManSenior writer

Before coming to UNC, Chris Martin, director of UNC Energy Management, spent 10 years in one of the harshest climates in the world: Antarctica.

Working to heat facilities used by scientists in the seventh, least-known continent, Martin said he discovered that no matter what the climate, energy conservation and environ-mental protection are possible.

Now, as he settles into his one-year-old job on campus, Martin’s two passions — engineering and the envi-ronment — have come together.

“I did not intend my career to be necessarily in the energy field nor in the environmental area as well,” Martin said.

“But what I found was while working in facilities, I saw great potential in energy efficiency improvements, and I got more and more interested in energy conser-vation just because of the great potential that was there and the impact it would have.”

A new campuswide energy pol-icy implemented in July is push-ing Martin into the open, forcing him to interact with the student body and teach them what he has

learned about the importance of efficient energy management.

After graduating from North Carolina State University’s mechan-ical engineering program, Martin didn’t think much about environ-mental conservation. But as an engi-neer, he said, it’s only natural to think about solutions to inefficiencies.

He began to understand exactly how energy inefficiencies could be limited when he was in Antarctica.

“You would tend to think of heating and providing a comfort-able place to stay in the harshest climate in the world,” Martin said.

“But even in the most inhospita-ble climate such as that, there was a great deal of opportunity to save energy there and reduce the envi-ronmental impact in what is one of our most pristine continents left.”

Now his attention is turned to energy efficiency at UNC. The new energy policy is a behavioral policy, seeking to educate fac-ulty, students and staff on how to actively participate in campus energy management.

Cindy Shea, director of the UNC Sustainability Office, is working with Martin and his department to implement the new policy.

Although Shea admitted that

these behavioral modifications are nothing new, she said she thinks students are more concerned now about environmental conservation than ever before.

“Unfortunately, some people have perceived conservation as a burden as opposed to an opportu-nity,” she said. “I think more and more people are recognizing that investing in energy efficiency is a great return on your money.”

As it stands, the legislature pays most of the University’s energy bills, so departments aren’t aware of how much its building’s occu-pants are spending.

Martin and his department would like to create an energy “dashboard” that would be acces-sible online. It would show the University community the cost and use of energy in every department so people can measure their energy conservation activities.

“The great conscience of the University — environmental sensi-tivity — hopefully will engage that information and react to it. If it’s not a financially driven incentive at least it’s sensitivity-driven,” Martin said.

greek events use ‘Buddy’ systemBLOG

dtH ONLINe: the new Party Czar blog chronicles after-class life and leisure around campus.

BY rYan DavisStaFF writer

Buddy Bartles knows how to party. On the weekends you can find him and his buddies at all the biggest fraternity parties and Greek events around Chapel Hill.

But you won’t find Bartles doing keg stands, playing beer pong or jumping off balconies into swim-ming pools. Instead, he makes sure that students taking part in those activities stay out of harm’s way.

“Our primary role is to ensure that those people attending our events are safe,” Bartles said. “But the events are a lot of fun, and hanging out with the students is always enjoyable.”

Bartles, a former police officer, works with American Diversified Security Inc. in Raleigh, a private company that specializes in provid-ing security staff to Greek events primarily at UNC but also at Duke

University and North Carolina State University.

Bartles, along with 20 other part-time employees, can be found at Greek events all around town. On a given weekend, six or more secu-rity officers from Bartles’ company might be on campus.

“Security is something that (the Greek community) has to do just because of the chances of what may happen without it,” said James Hill, president of the UNC chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Bartles said that despite the common conception that drunk-en college students can get out of hand fairly easily, he has never dealt with any major altercations in his 15 years of providing security to college organizations.

“A lot of what goes on at these parties gets blown out of proportion by ridiculous stuff in movies,” he said. “But still, sometimes the girls can drink a little too much and the guys can do some stupid stuff. At the end of the night, there’s always a little something to chuckle about.”

While drunken behavior might be less of a problem than many think, underage drinking is still a serious problem, Bartles said.

This weekend, Bartles and his team will focus on rush events.

“The biggest problem we have is dealing with underage drinking — underage people trying to get into

events, fake IDs — things of that nature,” he said.

But Bartles and his team con-tinue to crack down on underage drinking and check for fake IDs.

“Each year it seems like it gets better and better,” he said. “You learn from your mistakes.”

While acting as security at parties is Bartles’ primary function, he has other reasons to justify working in a college environment.

“Outside of the parties, we cover a lot of Greek events and fundraisers too,” he said. “With all of the party-ing, people forget that the Greek community does a lot of good in the community too, and that is a big rea-son we enjoy being a part of it.”

For Bartles, the incentive for working with college students isn’t material or financial.

“If we were doing this for the money, we wouldn’t be doing it,” he said.

Instead, he said, he does it because the students he meets are always fun to talk to.

“We all love Buddy,” Hill said. “You say his name, and everyone knows who you’re talking about.”

music seminar pairs bigwigs

BY aBE JOHnsaSSiStant artS eDitor

Two famed Tar Heels will be teaching a new first-year semi-nar, which will offer students the chance to see 18 musical perfor-mances this fall.

The class, a first-year seminar called MUSC 064 – Listening to Music, will team up Chancellor Emeritus James Moeser and Emil Kang, Carolina Performing Arts executive director, to introduce musical presentations to about 20 freshmens.

“One of the great tragedies of the Carolina experience is for a student to come here and not take advan-tage of everything,” Moeser said.

“The purpose is to inculcate an appreciation and understanding of a wide variety of cultural offerings, which I think will inform their life and academic experience in so many different ways.”

Kang and Moeser will teach the class in a discussion format, covering contemporary cultural issues as well as musical techniques.

“We’re touching on many dif-ferent cultures; early on we’ve got Iranian hip-hop,” Moeser said.

“The idea of Iranian hip-hop is an oxymoron to begin with. I can’t imagine what its going to be like. But I’m sure we won’t escape talking about what’s going on in Iran right now, just culturally and politically.”

They will work to build not only the students’ musical appreciation, but also their critical thinking and writing skills. Students will write graded journal entries and analyti-cal essays.

“What we want them to do is to give us meaningful accounts of what they hear. We don’t want them to report. We want to teach them really how to listen and think analytically,” Moeser said.

Both Moeser and Kang are clas-sically trained musicians.

Moeser has played music since childhood and received his master’s and doctoral degrees in music from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Michigan, respectively.

He worked for almost 20 years as an organ professor and concert organist, gradually evolving into an academic administrator.

Kang, too, played music as a child and was a concert violinist. Before his job at UNC, he was the chief executive officer of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

“He had a great experience as the chief administrator of one of the best orchestras in the country,” Moeser said, describing his hiring Kang. “Emil has emerged in a short

period of time as one of the most effective arts presenters on any col-lege campus.”

The conception of the class was a new endeavor on the part of both professors and the music department.

“This first-year seminar is the first of its kind,” said Harry Kaplowitz, marketing manager for Carolina Performing Arts.

“At this point, our involvement is simply that Emil happens to be our director. Some of the shows this season have been integrated into the curriculum,” he said.

Kaplowitz said this is not an official partnership — the students just happen to be attending several CPA shows.

Moeser said he expects the expe-rience to be a success with students and he hopes to teach the course again.

However, stepping back into the classroom after such a long hiatus has worked up his nerves.

“I’m going to be as nervous as the first-year students,” Moeser said “It’s been over 30 years since I’ve been in the classroom.”

Exhibits highlight life, asian artBY KatY DOLLartS eDitor

A lifetime of collages and famous Asian art fills the halls of the Ackland Art Museum, cover-ing the stark museum walls with familiar-feeling paper quilts and intricate tapestries.

Two major exhibits, one an artist’s retrospective, the other a collection of historic Asian art, are on display at the Ackland, but not for long.

The exhibit “Aldwyth: work v./ work n.” is the first major exhibi-tion ever for collage artist Aldwyth. It runs through Sept. 13.

She can spend decades on one piece, creating something that is both visually and intellectually inter-esting, said Nic Brown, director of communications for the Ackland.

Aldwyth, 73, lives on a coastal island in South Carolina. Her work involves found objects — artifacts that have special meaning to her — and collages, often drawing from pop culture or art history in her work.

“Just about everything in the Aldwyth exhibition is pretty great,” said Emily Kass, Ackland director. “I don’t know any artists who are doing anything quite like that.”

Aldwyth will also speak Sept. 8 at UNC as part of the Hanes

Visiting Artist Lecture series.The second exhibit, “Sage in

the Bamboo Grove: The Legacy of Sherman E. Lee,” honors the late Asian art scholar Lee.

Lee lived in Chapel Hill after he retired and helped the Ackland build its substantial collection. He died in 2008.

Kass said the Ackland’s Asian art collection is the only one of its kind in the state, but only a portion of it is on view at any given time.

With such a large collection, she said it is important to make connec-tions with areas beyond art.

“How does this relate to other disciplines that students are study-ing and researching?” Kass said in regards to connecting the art with campus. “It’s not just art and cul-ture, but also literature and lan-guages and on and on.”

The Sage exhibit will run until Nov. 29. The Ackland also has other exhibits and a permanent collection.

One of the permanent collec-tion installations, “Reinventing the Figure,” holds some of Kass’s favorite pieces.

“The Legend of Lot” by George Segal incorporates both a sculpture and a painting as one work of art and

a floor piece by Do-Ho Suh allows visitors to walk across the work.

These pieces allow viewers to interact with the art in an unusual way, Kass said.

“There’s a real variety of kinds of arts and cultures represented at the museum, and exhibitions change,” she said. “Coming once will only give people a snapshot of what the museum does.”

Free clinic has difficulty getting federal moneyBY aniKa ananDaSSiStant City eDitor

The free clinic opens at 5:30 p.m., but half an hour earlier Claudia Barba is already waiting outside the doors with a half-dozen others in the humidity.

Barba, who drove from Holly Springs, is taking advantage of the Student Health Action Coalition’s Wednesday night free clinics for the first time.

She said in Spanish that it has been difficult to get an appointment for new medicine. She can’t remem-ber the type she needs because it’s been a year since she could get it.

The Student Health Action Coalition is run by student volunteers, but even with employment costs eliminated, the clinic must finance running tests and handing out free medicine.

Rising health care costs have been at the forefront of a national debate. Last March, President Barack Obama announced he would give $155 million to cre-ate 126 new community health centers.

But free clinics are different from community health centers and therefore have not seen any of this money.

Pamela Stephens, spokeswoman for the North Carolina Association of Free Clinics, explained the difference between the two medical providers. Community health centers bill a third party based on the patient’s income.

But at a free clinic, there are absolutely no fees you have to pay — they only ask for donations.

The Student Health Action Coalition, which operates out of Piedmont Health Services on Lloyd Street in Carrboro, depends on private donations and money from UNC student groups and commu-nity organizations.

Stephens said even if health care becomes nation-alized, free clinics will still exist. One reason is that the bill doesn’t address undocumented immigrants, a large percentage of free clinics’ patients.

“We’ll still be in existence because one system can’t do everything,” she said.

Ben Aiken, the clinic’s co-director and a UNC medical student, said the clinic saw 1,300 patients last year and generally sees 20 to 25 patients every night.

“The clinic is our weekly reminder of how broken the system is,” Aiken said.

“We have patients coming in that are delaying care because they can’t afford it … Their problems are worse than they would have been if they had care

earlier.”The clinic is developing projects that make it eli-

gible for more government funding, said Julie Hamra, co-chairwoman of the clinic’s coordinating council and a public health student.

She said they’re trying to apply for a grant that allo-cates money to clinics that plan to develop electronic medical records systems.

“It’s very difficult to get government funding as a clinic,” she said.

“We’re just trying to figure out the ins and outs of the system.”

new restaurants hopeful

owners of butternut Squash, a veg-etarian restaurant, and r&r grill said they hope that the return of UnC students will spur business.

BY viCtOria stiLWELLaSSiStant City eDitor

Entrepreneur Magazine has cited Chapel Hill as an emerg-ing player in the global economy. That’s why it named the town one of the top 10 places in the coun-try to be an entrepreneur in this month’s issue.

Chapel Hill officials said they have been taking steps to improve startup conditions.

Adam Klein, the vice presi-dent of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce, said the town has improved its process for developing buildings.

But for restaurant owners who opened businesses in July, the tra-ditional summer lull and econom-ic difficulties have led to a rough start.

Ross Moll, the co-owner and manager of R&R Grill, and Kelly Bruney, owner of Butternut Squash, said that business has been unpre-dictable since they opened their doors.

“It’s peaks and troughs,” said Bruney, whose vegetarian res-taurant is located at University Square. “Some Friday nights we’re completely full, some Friday nights we’re at a quarter of capacity. There’s no trend.”

Moll and Bruney both started with spaces easily convertible for what they wanted. They said what

helped them the most when start-ing up was the community.

“The people are so welcoming,” Bruney said. “The local business owners really support each other.”

On opening day, other University Square business owners came in to eat, she said.

Moll, whose bar and grill is in the Bank of America building on Franklin Street, said he relies on word-of-mouth marketing, but that’s been hard to depend on dur-ing the summer.

“It’s slow,” he said. “There’s no students here, there’s no parents visiting, there’s no friends visiting. A big portion of the Chapel Hill population is missing.”

Moll said he and his father, a co-owner, went into the summer opening knowing what they were getting into.

“Financially, we worked out best-case and worst-case scenar-ios,” he said. “We’re probably not near where our best-case scenario is. We put enough aside to prepare for that.”

Both Moll and Bruney are opti-mistic about the school beginning again.

“We’re doing rain dances for you,” Bruney said, referring to the return of students.

Students, in conjunction with a growing population, create profit potential in the local economy,

Klein said.That is what some business own-

ers say they are waiting for.“You’re in an area that has a lot

of capital flowing into it,” Klein said.

“That’s a great place for entre-preneurs to be.”

Week of Welcome events

Waldo to roam unC groundsBY ELiZa KErnaSSiStant UniverSity eDitor

New students will spend their first few days on campus finding things to do, free food and dozens of campus leaders in blue-striped shirts.

With more than 75 events occurring on campus between last Wednesday and Saturday as part of the Week of Welcome, new stu-dents will have their hands full.

April Mann, director of the Office of New Student and Carolina Parent Programs, which puts on the week, was stumped when asked which events would make the cut if she could only pick three. “There’s just so much,” she said, laughing.

But at the top of Mann’s list is a new program called “Where’s Waldo at Carolina.” Taking place Wednesday, the event will have 100 student leaders dressing up in striped shirts akin to those worn by the character in the popular chil-dren’s book, “Where’s Waldo.”

Freshmen will be encouraged to approach the Waldos and ask them about their leadership roles or community involvement. The volunteers will represent all aspects of campus life, including athletics, student government, dance groups and the Honor Court.

Freshmen will try to get Waldos to sign sheets similar to bingo cards included in their Week of Welcome folders. When they get four signa-tures in a row, they can turn in the card to a tent in front of Wilson Library to be entered to win a prize.

Candice Powell, a graduate stu-dent in the new student office who coordinated the activity, said the event will show students that lead-

ership can come in many forms. “Plus, how awesome is it to look

for a Waldo at Carolina?” she said.The Week of Welcome is a con-

cept that has evolved over the past few years, but has remained an effort to get new students involved and entertained from the moment

they arrive on campus. “Students want to connect with

peers when they first arrive, and this is just a great way for them to do that,” Mann said.

university readies for pandemic

BY MattHEW PriCEaSSiStant UniverSity eDitor

As students return to campus, University officials are preparing for a possible H1N1 flu outbreak.

Officials sent out new guidelines to students and staff in a mass e-mail Wednesday and have been working on a pandemic readiness plan for the campus.

The plan consists of four lev-els, with the highest calling for the University to shut down — an unlikely scenario as of yet.

Right now the University is at level one, which signifies a low level of risk for the community.

“The reason we are still saying it is minimal hazard to students, fac-ulty and staff is because the illness is not very bad yet,” said Mary Beth Koza, director of environment, health and safety at UNC.

“If you look at the virus from 1918, it killed a lot of people, but this virus is not that type.”

University administrators have acknowledged that some students are going to contract the flu, and they are prepared to deal with that.

Koza said students who suspect they might have the flu should avoid classes and the dining halls. If possible, students should return home for the duration of their ill-ness, she said.

“This is a communicable disease,” she said. “We have told students what

to do if you are missing classes.”The University decides how

to direct their response based on meeting with a pandemic team, contacting local health offices and working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Officials said the biggest con-cerns will arise once most students get back to campus and begin interacting.

“A kid goes to class and infects people around him, and then they then infect others, and then it becomes 10 and 20 people,” said David Weber, director of the department of occupational health. “You could come up with a possibil-ity that a third of a class or a third of a dorm becomes sick.”

Weber said vaccines for the reg-ular seasonal flu would be widely available to students by the end of August.

Vaccines for the H1N1 virus should arrive in mid-October and will be available based on CDC guidelines for populations espe-cially at risk.

Some students said they aren’t as concerned about swine flu as the University is.

“I appreciate the University’s concern, but I feel like all these e-mails might be overreacting,” said junior psychology major Luke Somers. “Still, I’m going to get my vaccine like everybody else.”

But Weber said the University’s

concern is appropriate because the flu could have a higher attack rate than usual or mutate to a more virulent strain.

“We don’t know what will hap-pen exactly,” Weber said. “There are no hard and fast rules here, but there are contingencies all along the way.”

Former unC-g chancellor diesBY tarini PartiaSSiStant State & nationaL eDitor

The UNC system’s longest ten-ured chancellor, Patricia Sullivan, 69, died Thursday after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

The former UNC-Greensboro chancellor, known for her profes-sional accomplishments and per-sonal touch in working with stu-dents and colleagues, retired last year after serving as chancellor for almost 14 years. She was the first woman to hold the position.

During her time as chancel-lor, Sullivan dramatically changed UNC-G, said Carolyn Ferree, a member of the UNC-G Board of Trustees. Enrollment grew by 36 percent and research funding for the university grew by 180 percent.

“The difference was like night and day,” Ferree said. “She took a personal interest in every student.”

Sullivan introduced 10 new doc-toral programs, including nursing, economics, information systems, community health, communica-tion sciences and disorders, and medicinal biochemistry. She also introduced eight master’s pro-grams and 20 graduate certificate programs.

Sullivan transformed campus facilities by spending an estimated $500 million in new construction and renovation.

But it was her considerate nature and personality that she will be best remembered for, Ferree said.

She said Sullivan was known as a “world-famous note writer” on campus. She regularly wrote thank-you notes for her staff.

“She was just a unique person and great role model, especially for women,” she said. “She is already being missed.”

UNC-system President Erskine Bowles said in a statement that Sullivan was admired by colleagues across the state and nation.

“Pat loved UNC-G to her very core,” he said. “As chancellor of UNC-G and as a private citizen, she offered living proof that real success comes from doing what’s right and what’s in the public inter-est.”

A science building at the uni-versity was named after Sullivan last year. A portrait of her will be placed in the building to honor her memory, Ferree said.

Members of Sullivan’s family also suffered from pancreatic can-cer. Even though Sullivan knew her prognosis, she maintained her dignity until the end and never showed her pain, Ferree said.

“The staff she worked with for a long time are pretty broken up about it,” Ferree said.

“When I heard it, even though I knew it was coming, it set me back.”

alumnus killed in afghanistan

Patricia sullivan,former UnC-g chancellor, died thursday at age 69 after battling cancer.

BY ariEL ZiruLniCKState & nationaL eDitor

Pfc. Morris Walker, a 2008 UNC graduate who was in the U.S. Army, died Aug. 18 while on tour in Afghanistan.

Walker died from wounds incurred when an improvised explosive device detonated near his vehicle in Paktika Province.

Walker, known to many of his friends as “Mo,” was an “experi-ence,” said Sam Rosenthal, a UNC alumnus who graduated in 2009 and met Walker during his fresh-man year at UNC. Rosenthal is a former Daily Tar Heel sports col-umnist.

Walker started out calling Rosenthal his son and acting as his mentor, but soon they were broth-ers, Rosenthal said.

“If you got to spend time with Mo Walker, you remembered it,” Rosenthal said. “He had a charis-ma and a warmth that just rubbed off and also a pride and a sense about himself.

“I had never met anybody with so much confidence and even borderline arrogance that never rubbed people the wrong way.”

Walker was a part of many dif-ferent social groups at UNC, which allowed him to touch the lives of many people, Rosenthal said.

While at UNC, Walker joined Zeta Beta Tau and worked at Ram’s Head Recreation Center, where he spent much of his spare time working out and playing basketball.

Walker also was a fixture at the bar “The Library,” where he knew many of the workers and regu-lars.

“He kind of just moved through all circles very comfortably,”

Rosenthal said. “He understood people in a way that not many can. Nobody was too different for Mo that he couldn’t connect with them.”

Walker’s older sister, Sabina, referred to her brother as “Mr. Spotlight” in a conversation after his death, alluding to his tenden-cy to be the center of attention, Rosenthal said.

“That’s who he was. He was ‘Mr. Spotlight.’ … He had this spotlight on him, and when you were with him, you were in the spotlight too,” he said.

Antwine Jackson, another of Walker’s close friends, recounted a night at UNC when Walker invited him to a ZBT party where Jackson knew no one.

Walker stopped the whole party and presented Jackson to the room as part of his family, someone “as funny as him,” Jackson said.

Walker often referred to Jackson as his big brother.

“It was like, ‘I’m cool now. I have this street cred,’” Jackson said.

He also remembered celebrat-ing one of Walker’s birthdays at Goodfellas. Jackson told Walker he was done for the night.

Walker began doing pull-ups inside the bar to prove that he was OK to continue partying, and so was Jackson.

“He was showing ‘don’t take life too seriously,’” Jackson said. “That’s how he lived his life.”

Walker was always the one try-ing to convince his friends to go out on nights they intended to stay in, said UNC 2009 alumna Catherine Kang.

“No matter where he was or who he was with, he always knew how to have a good time,” she stated in

an e-mail.Walker, who was born in Raleigh

and raised in Fayetteville, enlisted in the army in August 2008 and was based at Fort Richardson in Alaska, Sabina Walker said. He deployed in April 2009.

Walker took his enlistment very seriously, Jackson said. Speaking with him before his deployment, Jackson asked Walker if he was scared.

“He just said, “Man, I’m just glad I get a chance to do something like this, to be a part of something great.’”

Walker’s dedication was even more striking because it wasn’t always part of his plans, Rosenthal said.

“He wasn’t all about ‘I want to go to war’. … Once he decided to go, he was very aware of what he was doing,” Rosenthal said.

Walker was not your standard enlisted soldier, but he was still dedicated, Rosenthal said.

“I told him how proud I was of him for that,” he said. “It was very tough on him, I think. He was wired differently than your com-mon soldier because of his intelli-gence and all of the things he had seen in life.

“For somebody built the way he was, to go and still do what he did — it was probably one of the brav-est things I’ve ever seen anybody do.”

Walker kept in close contact with many of his friends in the United States during his deployment.

Rosenthal and Walker would talk via e-mail about once a week, and Walker even called from Afghanistan a few times.

“The toughest thing is that he’s still very much with me,” Rosenthal said. “I can hear him. I can smell him. It doesn’t seem like he’s gone yet.”

Looking ‘Forword’ to return

DtH FiLe/CoLLeen Cook

Despite her season-ending injury in 2008, UnC senior Dani Forword still led the team with 25 goals and is ready to return in 2009.

BY anna KiMSenior writer

A 22-year-old clipping from a South African newspaper captures a tender moment with a mother and her newborn child. The one-day-old has her hand on a field hockey stick.

The caption reads, “Born with hockey stick in hand.”

With a mother and sister who played for South Africa, Danielle Forword has never been far from a stick. When wielding one, she is seemingly never far from goal.

But for much of last season, the North Carolina forward was forced to keep her greatest distance from the game — the 35 yards from goal to the sideline, where Forword stayed after suffering a season-ending ACL injury against Boston College last October.

“Hockey is something very emo-tional to her,” athletic trainer Scott Oliaro said. “When we took that away, you took a piece of her away.”

To stand outside the confines of the field proved painful. She won’t have to much longer.

“If I’m on the field for the Michigan game,” she said, “I will be coming out of my cage.”

impact on the field

On October 10, Forword con-trolled the ball at midfield like she had done countless times before.

She planted her right knee.

Then she heard the pop of her ACL tearing.

After the shutout loss, teammate Illse Davids couldn’t help but hear the reverberations.

“It was just a huge blow,” Davids said. “It was really an emotional weekend for everyone.”

When Forword injured her knee, she was the nation’s second leading scorer. In the 12 games preceding her injury, Forword recorded 16 goals and four assists.

“Dani is a special talent, and Dani is an on-field leader,” coach Karen Shelton said. “We lost our offensive firepower.”

In the final nine games of the season, UNC recorded four losses.

On the sidelines with knee in brace, Forword finished the season as the team’s leading scorer.

“We tried to play for Dani,” Davids said. “We knew her heart was on the field.”

Mental rehab

One day, Forword approached her athletic trainer with tears in her eyes.

“Injury is a selfish thing,” she said. “I’m asking, ‘Why did this happen to me?’ My dad said, ‘Dani, it’s not about you. Go to practice and ask someone how they are doing instead of getting so wrapped up in what’s happening to you.’ It opened my eyes.”

So too did anonymous evalua-tions, in which teammates identi-

fied new leadership qualities that Forword exhibited on the sidelines. Care. Compassion. Both those qualities were evident as she helped coach a young attacking unit strug-gling to fill the void she left.

A trip home to South Africa in June offered even more perspective.

Growing up, Forword watched as her older sister Candice and mother, Beverly, represented their home country of South Africa with matching No. 9 jerseys.

She also saw racial quotas deny them the opportunities to travel with Olympic and national teams. On the streets she saw poverty and children who did not have the means to play.

“I’m fortunate if this is the worst thing that has happened to me,” she said.

“I went home and said, ‘Wow, Dani, that’s the worst thing? That’s pretty good.’”

Out of the cage

When Forword returned to the field after a trip home to South Africa, Oliaro cleared her to rejoin team practices. Forword has been partici-pating in one of the team’s two-a-day practices since her return.

“I think it’s made her a stronger person,” Davids said. “It feels like she can take on the world.”

Forword is aware of the team’s national title expectations, but for the moment, she is appreciating

the simple offerings of the game. “When you’re doing something

every day, it becomes monotonous,” she said. “But when something’s taken away from you, and you’re not allowed to have it, it renews that passion. It’s reinvigorated that passion for me.”

Forword becomes emotional. She says she is ready to take back the field.

One look at North Carolina’s depth chart, and three positions stand out for their returning expe-rience: tight ends, defensive backs and linebackers.

Yet all three of those positions will be coached by newcomers to Butch Davis’ football program.

Art Kaufman, Troy Douglas and Allen Mogridge all joined the coaching staff this offseason.

Kaufman, the linebackers coach, is particularly lucky in that UNC returns starters Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant, along with a host of depth behind them.

“To have those guys with their ability and more so with their experience and their willingness to adjust to a new coach, and their willingness to want to be the best players they can be — when a guy wants to do that, and you can help him improve, that’s what it’s all about,” Kaufman said.

Kaufman came to UNC after one year at Southern Mississippi where he was defensive line coach and special teams coordinator. Kaufman boasts a quarter-centu-ry of coaching experience, includ-ing 10 years at Ole Miss where he served as defensive coordinator.

“Having a chance to work with Coach Davis was a great opportu-nity,” Kaufman said. “I think this program’s got a lot going for it. It’s got a chance to be one of the pre-mier programs in the country.”

And while Kaufman has to deal with a heated position battle for the third linebacker spot, there are plenty of players from which to chose.

Douglas also inherited a sunny situation — at least on paper. Kendrick Burney resumes his starting role at cornerback while Deunta Williams, who was a fresh-man All-American selection in 2007, fills one of the safety slots.

Much like Kaufman, Douglas has plenty of depth in the defensive backfield with which to work.

Douglas, who has 22 years of

coaching experience, spent the last three seasons as the defensive backs coach at South Florida.

That included two victories against the Tar Heels, most nota-bly a 37-10 thrashing in 2007. Douglas’ players have already caught on.

“He’s a good dude,” Williams said. “I love Coach Douglas a lot. I think he goes the extra mile to relate to the players, crack jokes and all that stuff, make it more of an easygoing relationship. I think a lot of guys respond a lot better to him.”

Mogridge will also coach an established starter at tight end. Junior Zack Pianalto has seen two years of playing time, and despite his injury last season, returns as a key part of the offense in 2009.

Mogridge lettered four years at UNC from 1996-1999 in a variety of positions on both sides of the ball, and he returns to his alma mater after seven seasons at the University of Buffalo. Mogridge coached the defensive line, offen-sive line and running backs for the Bulls, and served as a recruiting coordinator.

unC football adds to its staff

Field hockey eyeing national championshipBY anna KiMSenior writer

The upperclassmen of the North Carolina field hockey team already laid claim to history.

Only two seasons ago, they became members of the only undefeated championship team in NCAA field hockey history.

What could inspire excitement after reaching the pinnacle of perfection?

“The seniors come together,” Illse Davids said. “We talk about how we’re getting goosebumps for this season.”

And with good reason.The team graduated only two

players and boasts the largest squad in the program’s history with a roster of 29 members.

But even the 10 players that will catch their first glimpses of action are overshadowed by the five that will see their last.

“It helps to have players who have won a championship,” Shelton said. “Those players have matured since then, and there is no substi-tute for senior leadership.”

This season hails the return of senior — and last year’s leading scorer — Dani Forword, who suf-fered a season-ending ACL tear midway through last season.

The team finished 14-6 and ended its season with a first-round loss in the NCAA tournament.

“We’ve been through a lot over the past three years,” Davids said. “Whatever comes at us, we know how to handle it.”

This season, UNC placed a league-high three players on the 11-member preseason All-ACC team.

Four players also return from representing the United States in the Junior World Cup.

Elizabeth Drazdowski, Katelyn Falgowski, Jackie Kintzer and Kelsey Kolojejchick were selected for the 18-player team that finished eighth.

The senior core echoes the vet-eran-led undefeated squad of 2007. And while the team has not set any season goals, Forword said that expectations are understood.

“I don’t want to chance anything by saying it,” she said. “But I think we all know we have the chance to go all the way.”

The seniors aren’t the only ones setting the tone, though.

“Obviously we all want to win the national championship,” coach Karen Shelton said.

With a 17-game schedule that matches UNC up with formidable in-conference opponents, Shelton is keen to remind the team that desire cannot trump humility.

But the team has never been one to aim low.

“We’re all fighting for that ACC title and that NCAA title,” Davids said.

Their coach doesn’ t need reminding, either.

“I see it,” Shelton said. “I see it from Dani. From Illse. All the seniors. They are very, very hungry.”

Building temperatures to fluctuate with season

“We need everyone to be supportive and recognize the value of energy conservation measures as resource-savers.”CinDY sHEa, DireCtor oF tHe UnC SUStainabiLity oFFiCe

BY JEanninE O’BrianStaFF writer

UNC’s Sustainability Office is asking students and faculty to dress for the weather this year, even indoors.

Under the University’s new Energy Use Policy, buildings will operate under temperatures set by the facilities office.

The new policy, part of a statewide push to reduce energy use, aims to cut costs during a tight budget year and help the environment.

“It’s about finding a balance between comfort and economy,” said Chris Martin, director of ener-gy management.

The temperature regulation is one of seven energy conservation measures being implemented. Other measures include eliminat-ing the simultaneous heating and cooling of spaces, optimizing cam-puswide energy recovery systems and engaging the UNC community in the energy conservation effort.

Martin said that once operating, the conservation measures could save UNC $4.5 million to $5 mil-lion annually.

The implementation process started in July and is scheduled for

completion in January. The Sustainability Office has

been working with the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning department to make changes one building at a time.

The target temperature is 76 to 78 degrees in the summer and 69 to 71 degrees in the winter. During unoccupied times, generally from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., these targets will be relaxed somewhat.

Bill Burston, director of house-keeping services, said some University employees have already complained that the new tempera-tures make working uncomfortable.

A building is considered occu-pied if two or more employees are present, meaning some housekeep-ers working alone at night could have to deal with temperatures as high as 83 degrees, Burston said.

And some buildings, such as libraries and laboratories, will not

be subject to temperature adjust-ment that could harm academic or research activities.

Officials said unpredictable fac-tors will affect how much UNC saves.

“You can’t predict the weather, and you can’t predict occupant behavior,” Martin said.

Cindy Shea, director of the Sustainability Office, said coopera-tion from the UNC community will be important for success.

Faculty and students can help by turning off lights when they leave a room, turning off computers not in use and keeping doors and win-dows closed, she said.

“We need everyone to be sup-portive and recognize the value of energy conservation measures as resource-savers,” Shea said.

student fights debt onlineBY EMiLY KEnnarDaSSiStant FeatUreS eDitor

UNC senior Jess Shorland is hoping that writing about her debt will help relieve it.

Up to $45,000 in debt from col-lege loans, Shorland, a peace, war and defense major from Virginia, blogs on her Web site about her quest to pay off her debt before she graduates in May.

“I’m giving what I learn back to people,” Shorland said. “I can pro-vide valuable knowledge.”

In addition to her two jobs as a research assistant and a student supervisor at the Kenan Center, Shorland makes money from her blog through Google advertising. Each time a viewer clicks on a Google advertisement located on her Web site, Shorland receives a share of the profit.

By Thursday, she had made $62.54 from the blog, which she started in June.

But Shorland said she writes the blog for more than monetary reasons.

“It’s not just financial,” she said. “I’m really gaining a broad knowl-edge of personal finance and what it takes to pay your bills.”

Shorland’s Web site includes blog posts about assets, liabilities, debt consolidation and marketing tech-niques. But besides taking basic eco-nomics, Shorland’s financial knowl-

hunger and war when she graduates, which is the reason why she is deter-mined to pay off her debt by May.

“It’s really important not to get trapped into taking a job because of being desperate to pay off debt,” she said. “I don’t want to end up taking a job that I end up hating.”

Senior Jess Shorland has accrued $45,000 in student loan debt. Her blog chronicles her effort to pay it off before she graduates in May.

edge comes from reading books and the magazines BusinessWeek and the Economist.

“I force myself to learn about it,” she said.

Shorland’s boyfriend, Ryan Allis, a former Web site developer, originally came up with the idea of the blog.

“I wanted her to have an oppor-tunity to write about topics that she is interested in,” he said.

Shorland also reluctantly oper-ates a Twitter account, under the alias poorstudentnomo, where she updates her progress toward pay-ing off her debt.

“I absolutely hate Twitter,” Shorland said. “It does connect people, but I don’t like it.”

Shorland uses Twitter to help direct traffic to her blog and to learn financial tips from other users.

“It is kind of being hypocritical,” she said. “At first, it was used to get more people to my blog, but now people have valuable information I can use.”

Help us serve you the best we canToday’s paper describes the

uncertainty that’s perva-sive on campus and in our

community.For freshmen, there’s the thrill

and anxiety of moving to cam-pus for the first time. For UNC employees, there’s the fear of los-ing their jobs as administrators slash budgets.

Even within The Daily Tar Heel, there’s change.

We debuted a revamped Web site and work flow in our news-room. Check out page 8 to see the new features. And we’ve got a new crop of editors to boot.

But don’t be uncertain about the quality of your DTH. We are back and better than ever.

We always take seriously the responsibility of keeping you informed and holding your leaders accountable.

This year, we shoulder it again with renewed vigor and purpose. We will be your eyes, ears and sometimes your voice as administrators decide where to make budget cuts and Chapel Hill and Carrboro elections go down to the wire.

I’m particularly excited that two crucial parts of our newsroom — and your pages — have been revived this year.

The arts desk is returning to give you comprehensive coverage of the vibrant visual and perform-ing arts communities surrounding campus.

And the investigative team will again delve through documents, records and data to get the stories behind the big issues.

We’ve put together a supremely talented team of staffers and editors to get all this done. But we’re going to need you to help us become the source of news that you need.

The Daily Tar Heel has been knocked before and called a walled fortress, one that doesn’t accept outside opinions. I’ve also heard folks say that our staff is composed of tunnel-visioned zombies who have sold their souls to the newspaper.

If you’ve felt that way in the past, hear this: None of what we do is worth a darn unless we are truly serving you.

A few years ago, the DTH editor made a vow to take time each day to simply walk through campus and talk to people.

I’m going to bring that back. If I run into somebody walking out of Davis Library who we aren’t serv-ing well, we need to change.

And for when I’m not meander-ing through the quad, we’re mak-ing it as easy as possible for you to get your voice heard this year.

We’re resurrecting the Community Feedback Board, which in past years has brought together students, faculty, staff and community members to critique the DTH and tell us how we can be doing better.

A newly created Innovation Team will get your input and ideas for our Web site. And we’ve hired a community manager to reach out on Twitter and Facebook.

Of course, you’re always free to send me an e-mail, come by my office hours, call my phone or stop me as we pass in the Pit.

In every doctor’s office and bank, you’ll see a “Bill of Rights.” This spells out what the patient or customer can expect, what the company must provide.

At The Daily Tar Heel, our entire existence is based on trust. So here’s your “Reader Bill of Rights.” If we aren’t living up to these standards, tell us strongly and loudly.

We pledge that:n We will always strive to

make every word printed on our pages or on the Web site factual, both technically and in spirit.

n Our reporters will always cut through the spin and seek the full story.

n The DTH will always be a responsive member of the com-munity. As part of that, every one of your voices will be heard and respected.

n The DTH’s editorial page will always be a strong voice for posi-tive change.

If we’re not living up to these standards, you better let us know.

Voicing the views of our campus

The opinion page of the Daily Tar Heel plays a distinct role in the life of

the University.It’s not our job to be objective

(we’ll leave that up to the news-room). It’s our job to opine on issues and events affecting the campus community.

The editorial board researches and writes several unsigned edi-torials each day that represent its collective opinion.

We’ve added a few more slots to the board this year to bring in even more perspectives to the page.

Ten columnists will write semiweekly columns, focusing on everything from women and gen-der issues to studying abroad.

The diversity in opinions and topics this year should certainly spice the page up.

Guest columnists will be solicited when a particularly complicated or controversial issue arises on campus.

The editorial board will also be endorsing a candidate in the Chapel Hill mayoral elec-tion and in the spring campus elections, including the student body president.

And of course, we will contin-ue to publish letters to the editor.

Letters to the editor are your space. This is your chance to share your opinion with the cam-pus community.

So keep them coming!There are some issues that we

know will continue to dominate the headlines — the effects of budget cuts and further discus-sion of Carolina North, among others. And we’ll be there to pro-vide insightful commentary on these issues.

But the unexpected events are what I’m most looking forward to discussing on this page.

Controversial issues last year made the opinion page ground zero for dialogue about sensi-tive issues such as abortion and immigration rights.

And the campus community was actively involved in these conversations through letters to the editor, comments online and guest columns.

Of course, we’ll continue to publish the venerable kvetching board on Fridays and QuickHits on Wednesdays. But we’re also going to be trying out some new things this semester.

We’re bringing back “Viewpoints,” in which an issue is debated from two different per-spectives, as opposed to a single unsigned editorial taking a single stance.

We’ll also be expanding our online presence with the launch of the new dailytarheel.com.

The new Web site will make it easier for you to submit letters to the editor and comment on stories.

And it will allow us to better connect with readers. The col-umnists will have a blog in which they will update regularly. And the opinion page will update a Twitter account (@DTHopinion) with editorials and columnists.

Check out the Web site soon to check out video introductions of the editorial members and col-umnists and for a more thorough explanation of the functioning of the editorial board.

Looking forward to another great year!

andrew is serving his first semester on the editorial board. He served last year as the DtH’s University editor and previously was the DtH’s features editor.

applicants first to see software overhaulBY anDrEW HarrELLaSSiStant UniverSity eDitor

UNC’s Information Technology Services staff spent the summer doing what their boss calls the hardest and most expensive thing the office has ever done.

That work and money have resulted in launching the first pieces of ConnectCarolina — a new software system that will interlock administrative and student func-tions across campus.

Prospective students were the first to see the program in action, with the admissions system going live this summer.

The student component alone will cost UNC roughly $50 million,

with additional costs for the human resources and finance pieces.

About 90 people are working on the project, including members of Deloitte Consulting, who were brought in because they have expe-rience working with the Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise program that ConnectCarolina is based on.

Chief Information Officer Larry Conrad led the implementation of a similar program at Florida State University. He said not everyone was happy about the shifts in orga-nization and interface.

“You’re changing the way people do business,” he added. “Not every-body likes that.”

But Conrad’s experience taught

him to prepare for problems when — not if — they arrive.

One major challenge was an overhaul of the PID creation sys-tem required by the new software, which Conrad compared to replac-ing the transmission in a car.

Conrad said he knows more skeptics will come around once they see the benefits of the new programs.

For example, a document man-agement system at Florida State University reduced the wait times on purchasing requests from two weeks to two days, while at the same time saving paper by keep-ing documents online only.

“That’s when you start to see the

real power and value,” Conrad said. “The University will be better off.”

Each piece of the integrated management system increases the portions of campus that will now be able to share information with unprecedented ease.

Undergraduate admissions has already been converted to ConnectCarolina, as well as new document management and pay-ment gateway systems.

This summer’s launches also have included a campus commu-nity portal, which Conrad said will become a focal point for how stu-dents access services. “That’ll be the front door,” he said.

The system has been in the works

for the past two years, and its imple-mentation will continue for the next 14 or 15 months. But that’s no time compared to the age of the systems it will replace, some of which are more than 20 years old.

The next major milestones for ConnectCarolina will be the go-lives for financial aid in February and Fall 2010 registration in March.

Countless hours, dollars and pages of information will have gone into the creation of the system. But once they finally go online, it should be as simple as flipping a switch.

Webmail no longer ‘painful’ after revampBY anDrEW HarrELLaSSiStant UniverSity eDitor

Students logged on to find a new Webmail system Aug. 17 and stepped out of the 20th century.

Larry Conrad, vice chancellor for information technology services, said there is a night-and-day differ-ence between the old and new sys-tems, heralding its intuitive naviga-tion as one of the biggest changes.

The outdated, often-criticized interface of the old system led to calls

by several student body presidents to remake the system.

Students often chose to use out-side clients — such as Gmail and Microsoft Outlook — out of frustra-tion at the University’s system.

“Compared to a lot of the other solutions, it was pretty out of date and painful to use,” said Andrew Phillips, co-chairman of student gov-ernment’s tech and web committee.

The process was delayed mul-tiple times by budget cuts.

“Every time we thought we could go forward, we had to put the skids on it,” Conrad said.

By using the open-source software RoundCube, the new Webmail sys-tem only had minimal costs for tasks such as fixing bugs and customizing the interface with school colors.

The transition to the new system has been mostly problem-free. The Webmail home page allows users who are nostalgic for the outdated interface to switch back, and ITS

is working to modify the icons to make them more recognizable, in response to user feedback.

A new feature that automatically looks up e-mail addresses in the UNC directory is also in the process of repair, after an increased num-ber of requests caused problems. Phillips said this feature was one of the selling points of RoundCube.

Redesigned unC.edu aims to better tell Carolina’s storyBY anDrEW HarrELLaSSiStant UniverSity eDitor

For the first time in a decade, vis-itors to UNC’s home page could be greeted with more than a series of bland links in Times New Roman.

“In the life of the Internet, that’s a really long time,” said Nancy Davis, associate vice chancellor for University relations.

The redesign will create a site that can better tell the story of the University, with prominent place-ment given to rotating news stories.

The current Web site has little to no space for news, with stories on national championships, record-breaking gifts and Nobel Prize win-ners reduced to a dull hyperlink on the side of the page.

The projected cost for the proj-ect is $355,050. Planning started about a year and a half ago by seek-ing student feedback.

“Students first wanted a site that reflected the Carolina they know,” Davis said. “The trick is to come up with a site that really combines the whole University.”

Student input has remained an important part of the process, with a blog featuring updates, potential designs and polling reactions. Blog visitors can also vote on one of two near-final designs.

One of the most evident changes in the current designs is how visual the new site is. The current plans feature large images that accompa-ny news stories in the center of the

page, which is dominated by darker colors instead of the current site’s stark white.

Scott Jared, Web content direc-tor for University relations, said he also wants the site to create a sense of place, using images of campus on the site and having a spot for a Flickr stream of user-submitted photos.

The UNC home page creates a first impression of the University’s Web presence for many groups. Obvious ones, like prospective and current students, employees and alumni are all important audienc-es. But the redesign team is also factoring in traffic from legislators, funding contributors and prospec-tive employees.

The current site averaged 4.35 million unique users per month from September 2008 to May 2009.

Designers hope to maintain the current site’s functionality while improving the look and content. Usability tests took place in July, with potential users completing tasks on a mock-up of the new site.

The design team’s next step is to decide on a final design to present at the Board of Trustees meeting in late September. From there, cam-pus ITS will take four to six months to complete the programming before the site is ready for launch.

better, and I had to play quickly.”As a freshman, Nogueira struggled

to keep up with play, even though the talent was clearly there — she scored two goals in the Final Four of the 2006 national championship.

“She’d take 37 touches with (the ball), and by the time she passed it, not only is everyone on the field marked, everyone on the bench is marked and everyone in the stands is marked,” Dorrance said. “Her speed of play was so slow it was like she was moving backwards in time.”

Practicing joker

That’s not to say that Nogueira is going to let the pressure get to her.

Nogueira is notorious for keep-ing practices and pregames light. Along with practice antics, she’s also the locker room DJ.

“Casey’s relationship with Anson is one of the highlights of practice. It’s actually funny,” Engen said.

“She started this thing where she’d try to nutmeg Anson in practice when he’s just walking around. The other day, she just nailed him with the ball, and he turned around and started firing balls back at Casey.”

Nogueira can also be serious, though. The night after the nation-al championship game when her teammates were “burning the town down,” as Dorrance said, Nogueira stayed in and wrote letters to every-one on the team. Engen has hers taped on a wall.

“It basically said … thank you for everything,” Engen said. “ … It’s so genuine, and you know it’s from the bottom of her heart.”

but Davis said that is by design.“Receivers by nature during train-

ing camp, they run their legs off,” he said. “We can almost not have enough receivers for training camp because the nature of how much they to run in the course of a practice — it’s liter-ally measurable in miles.”

Junior Greg Little returns this season as the most experienced player of the group and probably will emerge from camp as the No. 1 receiver. As quarterback Yates said, he’s the receiver he’s been most comfortable with on the field.

But beyond Little, the position remains an unknown quantity. Sophomore Dwight Jones was list-ed as the other starter after spring practice, but six to seven players are still in the mix.

Freshman Jheranie Boyd has stood out in drills with impressive speed, but Davis said the competi-tion might stretch into the season, with results on the field having the final say.

“Those first three or four games is going to give them something we can’t give them. It doesn’t mat-ter how much we challenge them,” Davis said. “It won’t be the same as the speed, the adrenaline rush, all the excitement playing in front of 65,000 people.

“That’s when we’ll start to find out if they’re truly ready to play.”

formidable, as the squad returns the highest scorer in the NCAA last year in Casey Nogueira. Eighty-five percent of last year’s goals were scored by players on this year’s roster.

One of last year’s attackers, Jessica McDonald, had surgery soon after the championship game.

After a summer of rehab, she was given the green light to par-ticipate in drills early in training camp, leaving her with very little catch-up work to do.

On Nogueira’s other side, Courtney Jones is returning, mean-ing all of last year’s attacking start-ers are back.

For the Class of 2010, as much as they want to deliver another national championship, they want to enjoy their time in Chapel Hill with each other even more.

“We really enjoy each other,” Engen said. “The thing I’m look-ing forward to most about this year is I enjoy spending time with these people. We go to lunch together every day. We go to prac-tice together every day. We go to dinner together every day; and then it’s ‘Hey, what are you doing tonight?’

“This is my last year of eligibil-ity, so I want to make sure I enjoy every minute with every person.”

The Daily Tar Heel

BY POWELL LatiMErSPortS eDitor

On the eve of North Carolina’s Sept. 5 football opener, the party will be located a half a mile south — at the Smith Center.

At 8 p.m. Sept. 4, the UNC athletic department will host an alumni game between former Tar Heel basketball players now in the profes-sional ranks.

It will be a chance for fans to see players from both the 2005 and 2009 national championship teams and other former UNC players in the NBA.

The game marks the opening of a yearlong celebration of bas-ketball at North Carolina. The 2009-10 year is the 100th season of basketball at UNC, and the Department of Athletics has several changes in store to commemorate the occasion.

Of these, the alumni game is the most notable. According to the athletic department, almost all of North Carolina’s alumni in the NBA are slated to return for the exhibition, including players such as Jerry Stackhouse and Rasheed Wallace from the mid-’90s.

“It’s the start of a season-long celebration,” said Dick Baddour, director of the athletics department.

“We brought this season up a few years ago, and ever since, we’ve been talking about an alumni game.”

The game will also feature the unveiling of North Carolina’s 2009 national championship banner.

According to the athlet-ics department, the exhibition has already sold out, including 3,000 student tickets the ath-letic department sold for $5 apiece. Most of the proceeds from the ticket sales will go to UNC Hospitals’ Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Athletics department spokesperson Matt Bowers said the student turnout was impressive, given that in the past student attendance falters when tickets aren’t free.

Baddour also cited “tremendous cooperation” from the NBA in allowing its players to participate in the exhibition. Baddour said that in February, the athletic department will host a reunion game in which any player who earned a varsity letter and is physically able can play.

Baddour said the idea came from UNC coach Roy Williams, who helped organize a similar event when he was the coach at Kansas University.

There are also structural changes planned for the Smith Center. Most notably, the floor will feature a commemorative logo for the entire season, as well as new lighting in the arena.

After the 2009-10 season is underway, the athletics department will publish a book and DVD to commemorate 100 years of basket-ball at UNC.

Carl Gaskins. Kevin Bryant. Aaron Stahl.

Not exactly the trio of offensive players that fans and coaches of the North Carolina football team were worried about replacing this train-ing camp.

And while these three certainly don’t have the star power of depart-ed wide receivers and NFL draftees Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster, their absence this season leaves the Tar Heels’ offen-sive line decidedly thin. That’s a problem at a position crucial to protecting quarterback T.J. Yates and opening up holes for UNC’s running backs.

“We’re going to have to develop some depth,” head coach Butch Davis said. “We’re playing some true freshman on the offensive line in the second and third group, get-ting challenged.

“To be honest with you, we’ve

Fresh off a national champion-ship, the class of 2010 women’s soccer team is looking to win their third national championship in their four-year era.

Members of the senior class started their time together before freshman year, with conference calls involving 10 of the girls with the intention of bonding before they even moved in for training camp.

So far, the class is 71-6-3 over their first three years in Chapel Hill. There’s a great chance that they will be able to build on that already sterling record this season.

The team is returning nine starters from the championship game, and they will also have inter-national players Nikki Washington

and Meghan Klingenberg back for full strength this year.

They went to Chile for the U-20 World Cup just after the ACC tour-nament and didn’t take part in the Tar Heels’ NCAA Tournament run.

“What ’s been great for us is both of those kids, Meghan K l i n g e n b e r g a n d N i k k i Washington, have filled two holes in the field left by Allie Long and Yael Averbuch.” coach Anson Dorrance said.

At this point last year, pre-season camp was aimed toward breaking two new starters into the backline: former attacker Whitney Engen and former mid-fielder Rachel Givan.

This year’s team has no such concern, as the entire defense and one of the goalies have returned.

“Write this down: Casey Nogueira has the potential to be the best women’s soccer player in the world.”

When UNC coach Anson Dorrance — the same man who coached women’s soccer greats April Heinrichs, Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly — is saying this immediately after he won his 20th national championship behind the strength of her two goals, that player must be gifted.

Six UNC players have won multiple player of the year awards, and Nogueira is looking to become the seventh.

“Casey certainly wanted it last year,” Dorrance said. “Her goal production was consistent, and her finals goal production was magnificent.”

Indeed, her two strikes against Notre Dame not only capped off an impressive 25-goal season but delivered a national championship.

“I think what makes Casey such a great player is her love for the game,” senior back Whitney Engen said. “She loves soccer. She goes out and plays pickup; she’ll juggle a ball on her own. Her passion for the game shows through what she can do on the field.”

international aspirations

Along with having every set of eyes on the other team glued to her this season, Nogueira will have another set of eyes evaluating her every move.

C o a c h P i a Sundhage and the rest of Team USA’s staff are hoping that Nogueira

can carve out a spot on the 2011 World Cup team.“Oh yeah, that’s always been a goal to get on the

full team,” Nogueira said. “For me, that’s like my childhood dream. I’m still working towards it and

given them more reps than we normally would have given players a year ago. In a typical period drill where they might get six, some-times they’re getting seven and sometimes they’re getting eight.”

The dominos began to fall when Stahl choose to graduate and leave the program rather than using his final year of eligibility. Then Bryant opted not to return for his sopho-more year after a summer in which he was charged with misdemeanor assault. Gaskins tore his ACL in his left knee during training camp to finish the battering of UNC’s depth chart.

While Stahl was the only player penciled in for a starting position,

Bryant and Gaskins were second team players on a unit that already lost two starters from 2008 to graduation: right tackle Garrett Reynolds and right guard Calvin Darity.

But for all the missing faces, at least one offensive lineman, Greg Elleby, said the unit is not fazed going into the season.

Elleby, who converted to offense after playing defensive end for UNC last season, said the entire offen-sive line, particularly the freshmen who will be counted on to provide

insurance behind UNC’s starters, has come “a long, long way” from the start of camp.

“We don’t worry about depth at all,” Elleby said. “We just play with the guys that are here because we can’t win with somebody that isn’t here.”

As for replacing that “other” trio of Nicks, Tate and Foster, the depth chart remains flexible. No receiver has risen head and shoulders above the others during training camp,

not giving up hope.”Sundhage has told both Dorrance and Nogueira

what it would take to start on the full national team in 2011, and it’s quite a departure from the style that Nogueira grew up playing.

“Sundhage wants Casey to be a more mobile player,” Dorrance said. “Attacking mobility is criti-cal, certainly if she’s going to play up front with Abby Wambach, the reigning U.S. star.

“Her counterpart has to be a running, mobile, attack-the-line mentality.”

For a player who had to relearn how to run when she came to UNC, that’s a big adjustment.

“When I was younger, I was just the forward that would take the ball and dribble people and score,” Nogueira said. “But once I got to college it was a big shock because defenders were bigger, faster and

“Last year, I came in expect-ing to be a forward,” senior Engen said.

“I was told I was going to be a center back. So compared to last year, I have a year and two weeks experience instead of two weeks experience going into the first game.”

The added experience will come in handy, as the Tar Heels face a characteristically difficult schedule.

Three non-conference match-es, including a scrimmage with No. 3 UCLA and a match against last year’s national championship opponent and current No. 5 team Notre Dame are on the itinerary.

The attack also figures to be
