Since UNC administrators have established safety as a priority and said they are open to presidents’ suggestions, next year’s student body president might see more success when it comes to safety than any other issue.
Chancellor Holden Thorp made safety his top priority this year in his installation address Oct. 12, and the UNC system followed suit when establishing its legislative priorities.
Andy Rickelman, chairman of the safety and security committee of student government, said that as long as safety remains high on the University’s list, the budget won’t affect it.
“Holden has really reinforced that he is going to make sure that safety is not going to suffer on campus — even when those bud-get cuts happen,” Rickelman said.
University and town officials also said they are willing to hear suggestions by the student body president on how to improve.
Both Brian Curran, Chapel Hill police chief, and Jeff McCracken, chief of police for the UNC Department of Public Safety, said they would try to be supportive of any public safety programs the president proposes.
But McCracken said they would still have to examine the feasibility of such suggestions.

CamPuS SafeTyThe issues
From the candidates
This week, The Daily Tar Heel is examining the top issues facing the next student body president.
Tuesday: academics.
The past three administrations have advocated for the installation of more off-campus blue light call boxes, as well as better maintenance of the blue lights on campus. Presidents in the past have given student money to the town and worked with town planners to establish blue lights off campus and have spoken with the Department of Public Safety about on-campus lighting.
Student government conducts an annual lighting tour with administrators to identify poorly lit spots on campus — an opportunity for the president to influence lighting decisions. Poor lighting in Coker arboretum and the walkway by ehringhaus Field are annual complaints. an off-campus lighting tour also is conducted and focuses on neighborhoods heavily populated by students. results often are presented to the Chapel Hill Town Council.
The president can work with campus and town officials to help define bus routes or other transportation policies. Past presidents have conducted studies to look at student transportation needs and brought them to town and University administrators. raynor’s administration pushed for a Safe ride bus route from Carborro to Chapel Hill, which will likely carry over into the next administration.
ensuring that students know about alert Carolina and rave Guardian programs are challenges the next administration will face. alert Carolina is a system of text messages and other notifications that attempts to inform students of unsafe conditions on campus. rave Guardian, a service of UNC Mobile, works like a personal blue light service that notifies police if you don’t reach a programmed destination.
aid Chapel Hill police with student government funds to distribute crime packets.
Continue establishing lighting on and off campus.
establish community watch groups in heavily populated off-campus student neigh-borhoods.
Create a program designed to make male allies for interpersonal violence prevention.
Create a “Safe Buddy” brochure that will introduce new ways to be safe on campus.
Continue establishing better lighting on campus.
Continue supporting self-defense workshops and seminars.
Partner with the Department of Public Safety to continue a Pedestrian Safety Week where students can learn about pedestrian resources.
Offer free U-locks for students who register their bike with DPS.
explore the creation of a supervised walk or “Buddy Systems” program after midnight during the week.
assimilate self-defense courses into physical education courses.
Create an interactive safety map for all students.
Partner with the Department of Public Saftey and Student affairs to create self-defense programs.
Work with DPS to identify dangerous pedestrian areas on and around campus.
Create a new accessible safety Web site with up-to-date contact information.
advocate for construction of shelters at every bus stop and include maps at all shelters.
Complete the blue light system on campus.
raise student awareness of rave Guardian and alert Carolina.

unC could require unpaid leaveBy BRIAN AUSTINSTaTe & NaTiONaL eDiTOr
The UNC system could force fac-ulty and staff to take unpaid tem-porary leave to help fill the gaps in the state’s troubled budget.
At the Friday UNC-system Board of Governors meeting, President Erskine Bowles said that the sys-tem needs to prepare to institute furloughs, which would mandate that even some salaried employees stay home.
Essentially, it would mean a pay cut for administrators or faculty. Several are suggesting the measure could be a stop-gap to prevent lay-offs of support staff.
“You could really do a lot for the burden that would otherwise fall on folks that are making the least,”
said Judith Wegner, UNC-system faculty assembly chairwoman and UNC law professor.
Bowles said he’ll seek legislative authority to mandate furloughs.
Several other states’ university systems have authorized furloughs, some as a direct result of economic problems.
There are no specifics yet about who would be affected, though Wegner said she thought it was most common for administrators to take the pay cut.
While few professors are look-ing forward to the possibility of furloughs, the idea could avoid the more unpleasant thought of layoffs among the support staff, including teaching assistants.
“If that money goes back into
that instructional budget, it goes back into the classroom,” said John Stewart, chairman of the econom-ics department. Instructional bud-get refers to funding for teaching assistants and other support staff.
He said the economics depart-ment is considering cutting class-es in the fall unless something improves in the department’s bud-get position to increase the number of professors available to teach.
Asking teachers to teach either larger groups of students or more sections leaves even difficult advanced classes in large lecture sections.
“It’s going to affect not only how many people are in your class, but that may in turn affect the approach your teacher takes to
teaching it,” Wegner said. She said she was further concerned that a larger class could keep students who might be interested in a sub-ject from pursuing it.
The talk of furloughs comes days after Bowles told campuses to reduce their tuition increase requests by a third, though he said the real problem was the budget realities facing the N.C. General Assembly.
“It’ ll hit the hardest in the College of Arts and Sciences, and journalism is next,” UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said in an interview. “Those are the units with the most state support.”
Thorp also said there would be no across-the-board faculty salary increase at UNC, which has long
been a system priority.The new tuition increase would
raise about $9 million for UNC. A 7 percent budget cut — the worst-case scenario of cuts the system has been asked to consider — would force the University to cut about $19 million from its academic affairs allocation.
When he presented to the board on Friday, Thorp asked the mem-bers to remember to tighten their budgets responsibly, keeping long-term academic priorities in mind.
“We don’t want to make cuts that end up costing us more than we’re cutting,” he said.

a little taste of Holden ThorpBy lINdSAy RUEBENSSTaFF WriTer
If Chancellor Holden Thorp were an ice cream sundae, he might be a sweet Carolina blue, warm and fudgey, and perhaps a little nutty.
And that was the ice cream sun-dae called, “Thank You Chancellor Thorp,” that customers swarmed to buy at Maple View Farm this weekend.
The sundae celebrates Thorp’s decision on Jan. 9 to halt the search for an airport location in Orange County. Many residents had pro-tested the proposed airport, which would serve the N.C. Area Health Education Centers program.
“I’m delighted,” Thorp said. “Not many people have their own sundae.”

NOTED. Wedding bells and police sirens rang out for a couple in central Indiana last month as the bride’s uninvited sister arrived to attack the newlyweds.
The couple, of Hebron, Ind., neglected to invite bride Lori’s estranged sister Annmarie to the celebration. Annmarie showed up any-way, pulling out clumps of the bride’s hair and pulling her to the ground in anger.
QUOTED. “It’s an exploding caste of spoiled harpies.”
— Gawker.com writer Ryan Tate in response to the women behind a blog describing the diffi-cult lives of the spouses of New York bankers.
The blog, Dating a Banker Anonymous, is described as a safe haven for the women of Wall Street, whose lives of high-end spas and vaca-tions have been hurt by the economic crisis.
While few people would think to consume a dolphin for dinner, recent studies show the highly intelligent sea mammals know a thing or two about preparing a tasty meal themselves.
The study, released by an Australian research team, describes the elaborate eating rituals dolphins carry out before most meals.
Among the procedures observed, researchers noted the mammals’ continued attempts to remove ink and other inedible and toxic materials from shellfish. The dolphins in the study also broke up large pieces of fish into bite-sized pieces.
This type of behavior is rather unusual in nature, even for an intelligent species like the dolphin, the study reported.

Campus BriefsEdwards, Staffiera/Williams win groups’ endorsements
Student body president candi-date Thomas Edwards gained a third endorsement Sunday from Sangam, a South Asian awareness organization.
Following introductions by the six candidates, leaders of the group asked questions meant to assess how the candidates could help Sangam and the UNC community.
The candidates spoke about how they would help Sangam find money for events, how they would improve undergraduate research opportunities and how they would approach annual tuition talks.
Sangam president Neil Patel said he thought Edwards had a good understanding of student groups.
“It’s definitely validation for hard work and the amount of research that we did,” Edwards said.
UNC Young Democrats also endorsed Meggie Staffiera and Sebastian Williams for senior class officers in an e-mail sent Saturday.
Elections board issues fines, bars Nichols from Betts’ staff
The Board of Elections fined student body president candi-date Jasmin Jones $7.50 for three A-frame signs placed in front of Ram’s Head Dining Hall, Phillips Hall and Abernethy Hall. Those locations are off-limits to campaign signs according to UNC grounds regulations.
The board also fined Tim Nichols, a candidate for senior class president, $18.50 for creating 37 Facebook pages with residence hall names such as “Ehaus South.”
The Facebook pages had images of “Michael Betts for SBP” as the primary photos. The board deter-mined that the pages could be con-strued as endorsements from the residence halls and fined Nichols 50 cents for each of the 37 accounts.
The board also removed Nichols from Betts’ campaign staff and barred him from working with any campaigns other than his own.
CiTy BriefsTwo people robbed Friday at gunpoint in Chapel Hill
Two people were robbed at gun-point in separate incidents Friday, according to Chapel Hill police reports.
The robberies occurred within 18 hours of each other at locations about four miles apart.
In the first robbery, the suspects used an unknown type of firearm to take a wallet, debit card and cell phone worth a total of $296 from a victim on Mitchell Lane near Rosemary Street at about 2 a.m., reports state.
In the second robbery, suspects used a handgun to steal an iPod, cell phone, wallet, driver’s license and school ID, worth a total of $470 from a victim on Weaver Dairy Road at about 8 p.m., reports state.
Reports indicate that police are still investigating the two robberies.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools receives six awards
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools received six awards Friday from the North Carolina School Public Relations Association.
The association recognized several programs that it had pre-viously honored with Blue Ribbon Awards. Both the district’s parent calendar and curriculum guides for K-8 education were honored for the third consecutive year.
The association also recog-nized a new publication by Chapel Hil l-Carrboro City Schools, the Professional Development Matrix. The publication’s purpose is to identify skills necessary for teachers, which they can acquire through a five-year training pro-gram through the Matrix.
The schools also received an award for a video it produced that detailed the district’s history.
The Centennial Web site was also awarded a Blue Ribbon Award, a first for its creator Scott Latimore.
The marketing campaign for the school’s Centennial clinched the final Blue Ribbon award.
The awards were presented Friday at a brunch held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Durham.

GangstaIr jumps off stage in the final round of the 2009 UNc air Guitar championship. “sex, drugs, and cocoa Puffs” author chuck Klosterman helped judge the competition.
gangstair impresses judges for $100 prizeBy RylaN MillERstaff WrIter
With a flutter of glittery eyelashes, Lee Becker, performing as Juan Andonly, rushed onto the stage in a pair of tight checkered pants as the audience screamed his name. His time to air rock had arrived.
Rapidly wiggling his fingers on his imagi-nary guitar, he fell to the ground and con-vulsed in a fit of pelvic thrusts.
Gerrard Hall boomed with this ener-gy during the second annual Air Guitar Competition on Friday. In an atmosphere reminiscent of metal and glam rock con-certs of the 1980s, ten performers battled for the chance to be proclaimed UNC’s ulti-mate air guitarist.
Professional air guitarist Dan Crane, performing under the pseudonym Bjorn Turoque, hosted the event and opened the show with his own display of fast fingers. The judging panel comprised professor Mark Katz, author Chuck Klosterman, and Daily Tar Heel Diversions Editor Jamie Williams.
Each ridiculously dressed air guitarist was judged on technical prowess, stage presence and air-ness.
Song choices ranged from Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” to the Power Rangers theme song.
Performer Mr. Fingers — sophomore Austin Douglas Johnson — started his per-formance in a suit and then stripped to a shirt and boxers while Daisy LaDeaux — sopho-more Holli Crawford — ditched the air guitar and performed instead on an air banjo in her cowgirl boots, fringed leotard and hat.
Air guitar wouldn’t be the same without the ability to take on the unique qualities a per-former displays during the time on stage, said last year’s winner, Ross Mckinnon.
“The greatest thing about air guitar is the utter freedom,” Mckinnon said. “There’s no restrictions to your performance because there’s nothing there. You’re working with air.”
Michael Foote, performing as GangstAIR, won the competition after humping both sides of a speaker.
“It was a very sexual performance, so I

give you a 5.69 (of 6),” Klosterman said.Foote said he never expected to triumph
over his opponents but wore an ecstatic grin as he was presented with the $100 prize.
“The audience was absolutely incredible,” Foote said. “I beckoned, and they followed. I feel honored to be a part of the tradition.”

Making on-campus dining more sustainable might not be as easy as calling up the local farm.
To help bring locally produced food to UNC, Carolina Dining Services and Fair, Local and Organic Food will begin researching local farms, a strategy discussed at a roundtable meeting Thursday.
But UNC’s strict quality certifi-cation might make it difficult to get the food on the table.
Foremost among the issues dis-cussed Thursday was the goal of developing a database of farms that can provide dining services with locally grown, organic products to serve to students.
Scott Myers, Carolina Dining Services director of food and vend-ing, said that such a database could potentially streamline the process of doing business with local farms.
“What we’re trying to do is build the database so we can narrow down our search and reach farm-ers without having to call the whole phone book,” Myers said.
Though an extensive database would allow dining services to more readily serve food from local farms, all of these farms must be certified by Aramark Corp., UNC’s food service provider, before their food can be served in dining halls.
Aramark serves as a middleman between dining services and the farms it buys from, overseeing the purchase and delivery process for all the food products that make it into UNC dining facilities.
But Aramark’s standards of certification make it difficult for smaller farms to pass inspection. Because Aramark’s expectations are higher than similar certifiers, farms and processing plants might need higher-quality equipment to be certified.
Dining has offered grass-fed beef burgers and cage-free eggs in the past.
Anthony Peele, a member of FLO Food, said there are plenty of medium-sized farms — those with 2,000 or more acres of land — that could meet UNC’s dining needs.
“What we’re finding out as a group is that small farms in this area aren’t capable to supply CDS, but I think these medium-sized farms can sup-ply FLO food,” Peele said. “There are many that already do.”
Dining services and Aramark rep-resentatives visited Cane Creek Farm in Snow Camp — about an hour west of Chapel Hill — on Thursday to begin certification. Cane Creek is planning to make facility upgrades to achieve that certification, accord-ing to meeting minutes.
Dining services and FLO Food also discussed employing journal-ism students in certain classes to create sustainable food services promotion campaigns. Dining services also plans to examine sus-tainability models for food service departments at other universities.
At Thursday’s meeting, a steer-ing committee also was formed to plan out future initiatives.
“I think the people who run CDS are just good people who want to do the morally right thing,” Peele said.

Pastry cook allegra torres mixes a batch of cupcakes saturday at Bliss, a new cupcake shop. the store just opened on West franklin street.

Mike Taylor, 29, will tell you that the feeling his cupcakes give cus-tomers can be summed up in one word — bliss.
Taylor, who previously managed his business partner’s Pittsburgh bakery, came to Chapel Hill to start the Bliss Boutique Bakery after he saw what he believed was a distinct lack of a cupcake-specific bakery.
“It’s bliss, it’s extreme elation,” Taylor said, referring to the name he wanted when naming his store.
The bakery opened Saturday at the former location of 3Cups on West Franklin Street with music playing in the background, free samples to the steady crowd that flowed through the doors and a dis-play of their nine cupcake flavors.
The kitchen, which was con-verted from an office adjacent to the shop, opens directly into the main bakery.
Taylor said he knocked out the wall so customers can watch the sweets being baked and frosted by pastry chief Howard Allen and his kitchen crew.
Alex Wolf, a UNC senior, said he enjoyed both the food and the
atmosphere, as well as being able to see into the kitchen.
Stretching from the kitchen to the counter is what Taylor calls a pastry transport system, or cupcake trolley. It consists of a system of hanging baskets that delivers cup-cakes directly into the dining area.
He said he invented the trolley to get the fresh cupcakes from the kitchen to the displays efficiently.
One cupcake costs $1.60 and there is always at least one vegan cupcake option.
Taylor also said he hopes to have a flavor box in which customers can write down ideas for cupcake flavors that they would like to try.
They will pull a suggestion from the box once a week, and the sug-gested flavor will be the special cupcake flavor of that week.
“There is a universe of recipes for cupcakes,” Taylor said. “So you have lots of opportunities to get really creative with it.”
Taylor first came up with the idea for the bakery when manag-ing a cupcake cafe that his busi-ness partner Dennis Steigerwalt started.
Both he and Steigerwalt had family in North Carolina and
entertained the thought of starting a similar style store in Chapel Hill, Taylor said.
Bliss turned into Taylor’s pet project and his dreams of sugar became a sweet reality after signing a lease for the space in August.
Bliss occupies the former space
of 3Cups, which left due to a dis-pute with the former landlord.
“I am excited about this court-yard,” Taylor said. “This place is open for all kinds of opportunity.”

Lego exhibition builds popularityBy RyaN daviSstaff WrIter
Robots, pirate ships, space stations and a small city passed through the Morehead Planetarium this weekend.
Lego-Palooza brought along extravagant models and projects all composed of millions of Legos.
The displays, including 5-foot-tall cityscapes, a series of struc-tures based on “Harry Potter” and a stop-motion “Star Wars” film cre-ated with Legos drew hundreds of eager young children — and equal-ly enthusiastic adults.
“Anything Lego-related is always a big draw,” said event director Carin Proctor. “It’s a chance for us to show off what we do and for people to see what else the plan-etarium has to offer.”
Proctor is the director of the N.C. Lego Users Group, an all-adult group of Lego enthusiasts whose members designed and built all of the models in the display.
The models were built at differ-ent times. Some have been in the works for months, while others were built upon arrival.
This is the fifth time that the group has held the event at Morehead Planetarium. Proctor said attendance has grown during that time and their group has added more members with each event.
Wall-to-wall crowds filled Morehead Planetarium both days of the exhibit, making the exhibits standing-room only.
The group also hosts other events in the state and attends nationwide “brick fairs.”
One of the exhibits showcased Lego Mindstorms NXT, a kit released by Lego that allows users to build robots with motorized move-ment, light and touch sensors and to operate them with commands.
Projects created with the hardware and software included remote-controlled battle robots and a fully functional recreation of
WALL-E from the animated film.Another Mindstorms project
was the brainchild of Lego group member Dan Pikora. Using an acoustic guitar, a few hundred Lego bricks and a Mindstorms kit, Pikora has created a guitar that essentially plays itself.
“I play guitar a little but I’m not that great,” said Pikora. “I built this instead.”
Pikora’s project utilizes two mechanisms — one is designed to pick the strings and the other has a steel guitar slide attached to a motor that slides up and down a rail along the neck.
The displays in the planetarium were surrounded by curious chil-dren, asking questions about the construction behind each model.
“Children don’t get to use their imaginations enough today,” Proctor said. “We want to change that.”

multi-athletes excel in 1st runs Seniors go out with win vs. dukeBy Ben BadenStaff Writer
North Carolina’s multi-athletes for track and field make only two appearances during the season.
This year, those two come in this weekend’s Texas Roadhouse Carolina Classic and the ACC championships later this month.
Both men’s and women’s ath-letes shined in their first showing, setting school records and provi-sional marks.
Daniel Keller set the school record in the heptathlon while earning a provisional mark of 5,605 points — only 45 short of the auto-matic mark for the NCAA.
“This first one of the year — you just want to do all of it together,” Keller said. “You get a feel for how you can do in all the events in the multi.
“It’s not so much about place. …
It’s a lot more about score and see-ing what you can improve on.”
The women also fared well, fin-ishing one, two and three in the pentathlon.
Alexandra Coppadge earned a provisional mark with 3,738 points, while Gabby Gioia and Danielle Brock rounded out the top three in the event.
“There were a few events where I could have done a little bit better — the high jump and long jump, especially,” Coppadge said.
“We each have a lot of room for improvement, especially for the ACCs. We should all be about 200 points better in a month, but this is a good place to start.”
In the field events, former All-America Austin Davis took first place in the triple jump, earning a second provisional mark of 15.66 meters.
DTH ONLINE: read the full story on Saturday’s track meet at dailytarheel.com.
Davis said he used this meet as a tune up for next weekend’s in New York, where he wants to jump at 16.15 meters — 0.45 meters higher than his current mark.
Coach Dennis Craddock said that his team had the opportunity to work on a lot of things this week-end but that the team’s focus would immediately turn to the Armory Invitational in New York.
“There will probably be 30 or 40 of the best teams in the nation there,” Craddock said.
“Hopefully we’ll see some more teams from the ACC so we can see how we stack up.”

A standing-room-only crowd packed Koury Natatorium on Friday, composed of those unlucky enough to be standing in the back craning their necks to see the nine seniors standing poolside below.
With families and friends by their sides, all nine graduating swimmers and divers were hon-ored in a pre-meet ceremony and watched a video tribute to their successes in the past four years.
The live swimming that followed wasn’t too shabby, either.
Three seniors — Whitney Sprague, Yi-Khy Saw and Kimmy Davis — all managed individual wins and helped lead the Tar Heels to wins against Duke, 182-101 for the men and 169-123 for the women.
In their last home dual meets of their careers, the seniors went out
in style — due to the hard work of the underclassmen. The teams set 59 season bests and 24 career bests combined.
One of those career bests came from Davis, whose time of 56.01 also earned her a win in the 100- meter backstroke.
Davis also kicked off the scoring for the Tar Heels, participating in a win in the women’s 200- meter relay in the first event of the night.
The men’s relay that followed further cemented the Tar Heels’ advantage with UNC’s first 1-2-3 finish of the evening.
Sprague opened her evening strong, with a second-place finish in the 1,000-meter freestyle that came less than one second off her season best.
She followed that performance with a win in the 500-meter,
beating her closest competitor by almost half a second.
Senior Yi-Khy Saw took home a win in his final home meet in the 200-meter butterfly, another race in which the Tar Heels finished in the top three spots.
UNC women won 14 of their 16 total events, and the men won 15 of 16 after sweeping the diving events.
The win also earned North Carolina two points in the Carlyle Cup, which pits UNC and Duke athletes against one another in a yearlong competition. UNC now leads 8.5-2.5 this year.
The Tar Heels next face up against N.C. State in Raleigh on Tuesday, with the ACC Championships com-ing up Feb. 18.

“We’d have to look at each indi-vidual program proposed and try to determine what type of fiscal impact it would have,” he said.
McCracken said that even though the state budget is being cut, money for the presidents’ initiatives are likely to come from other places.
Rickelman — whose group con-trols about $40,000 every year — said implementation of some of the candidates’ plans would not be a problem since he’s heard of many of these ideas already dis-cussed.
He added that there are several campus safety Web sites avail-able, and a half-price bike lock program will begin this spring — both suggestions of this year’s candidates.
“There’s definitely a framework for these plans there, and I don’t think it’d be hard to make this hap-pen,” he said.
Rickelman said one of the largest things the new president should work on is continuing the established safety projects, such as the on- and off-campus light-ing tours and completing the blue light system.
But he said the next president should also bring in a new perspec-tive to the position.
“The new president needs to come with ideas on ‘Where do I want to go from here?’ not just ‘What can I contribute to the pro-cess?’” Rickelman said.
While University safety lead-ers said they were supportive of
the candidates’ current platform plans, they all agreed that the largest issue the future president would need to work on is raising safety awareness.
Tom Koester, co-chairman of student government’s town and external relations committee, said the future president should work on making safety concerns more tangible for students.
“By telling students how to get home from the bars when they go out for instance and making it not just some fancy campaign-speak,” Koester said.
Both Rickelman and Curran said that although the president has lit-tle official authority, he or she has a large influence on the officials and students alike.
Curran said one example of where the student government executive branch had a lot of influ-ence was on Halloween.
“They were the ones that sug-gested adding a Safe Ride home that night,” Curran said.
“We put out probably 12 differ-ent buses just going downtown to the apartments that night, and that was basically due to government requests.”
Rickelman said Orange County officials really do listen to the stu-dent body president seriously and want to work with him or her.
“The people that do make those changes directly are really open to new suggestions, and I think that’s one of the areas that the student body president is really going to be able to contribute.”

program, which asks new and old residents to note on a map where they live or have lived within the community.
Last year, community members mapped where they lived during the neighborhood’s height. This year, students will participate for the first time, mapping where they live.
“Our goal is to inform the com-munity how we live now and how we’ll move forward,” said Hidden Voices research staff member Marie Garlock.
Hidden Voices also incorpo-rates research from a sociol-ogy project where UNC students interviewed members of the Northside community about their experiences.
Harris said students involved in the interview process were shocked to learn their sources had grown up hearing first hand accounts of slavery and that many of their last names were the same as those lining the walls of Memorial Hall.
“The stories we didn’t expect were the ones of the corn shuck-ing and hog killing in the streets,” Harris said.
The Northside community has always been tied to the University, which still employs a large por-tion of the neighborhood today.
“The existence of these neigh-borhoods exists because of the University,” Harris said.
But on-campus dormitories and apartments do not supply all stu-dents with housing, and many stu-dents are taking residence in the local neighborhoods surrounding the University, such as Northside.
So many Northside residents are being displaced as property values continue to rise.
Harris said she hopes that stu-dents recognize how their pres-ence impacts the community and that the project will strengthen the connections between the elderly residents of the area and the steadily increasing number of

serious decision for his dad, and he enjoyed giving input for how to make the sundae.
But the final product was a family collaboration.
“Light blue and brown are very fashionable, so we decided hot fudge with Carolina blue ice cream would be very much in style,” Thorp said.
He added that Emma is aller-gic to nuts, so the pecans are optional.
Susan Walser, a spokeswoman for Orange County Voice — a grass-roots organization that represents rural Orange County — thought of the idea to make a sundae in Thorp’s honor at the ice cream shop.
“They always have this sign here outside with interesting names of sundaes, and I liked the alliterativeness of ‘Thank you Thorp,’” she said.
She also said UNC delivered blue food coloring to the Nutter family, which owns Maple View Farm, to make sure the ice cream would be the correct shade of Carolina blue.
Allison Nichols, the general manager of Maple View Farm Country Store and a 2004 UNC graduate, said 12 2.5-gallon tubs of Carolina blue vanilla ice cream were made.
“If we have a surplus, we’ll still have it here to use if Carolina wins the national championship,” said Nichols, who is no relation to the
Daily Tar Heel editor.UNC had sought a new airport
because of its plans for Carolina North — the proposed 250-acre satellite research campus. A new law school building is slated for the runway of the University’s current airstrip at the Horace Williams Airport.
Crowds flocked to the cel-ebration at Maple View Farms on Sunday, many of whom came to praise Thorp’s airport decision.
“I’m just so grateful that UNC and Holden Thorp said some things are more important than others — meaning the people of Orange County,” resident Marcia Chapman said. “We’re all out here to say thank you and appreciate what he did.”
It was difficult to gauge just how many customers came to express thanks to Thorp this weekend, and Nichols said numbers will be calculated later today. But when Thorp arrived Sunday afternoon, the parking lot was full and the surrounding streets were lined with cars.
“It’s been more like a July day,” Nutter said of sales.
Before the Thorps left the store, Bonnie Hauser of Orange County Voice presented the chancellor with a framed picture of a crossed-out airplane deco-rated with signatures to general applause.
“It’s going to look great in my office,” Thorp said.

younger residents to “broaden our sense of community.”
UNC-NOW, a group of stu-dents, is working with Hidden Voices to help preserve Northside’s history, one effort to bridge the gap between campus and com-munity, said Rob Stephens, a co-founder of the organization.
“For Chapel Hill, I think we will all regret if we lose this communi-ty, a community that literally built the community,” he said.

relay organizers start fundraisingBy ElisaBEth GilBErtStaff writer
With two months to go before Relay For Life, UNC organizers are coming up with a wealth of other ways for students to raise awareness and money, from eating to strutting on the catwalk to, yes, spooning.
The annual relay event, to be held April 3-4, is just one of many similar events held nationwide to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Fundraising chairwoman Megan Sappenfield said UNC’s Relay-related fundraising efforts already have made $30,000.
As of this weekend, 575 partici-pants in 128 teams had registered for the event — triple the number of team members who had signed up by this point last year.
But the event ’s organizers say that while Relay is the cen-terpiece of their fundraising campaign, they will be offering plenty of additional chances for the University community to get involved.
“We have some special sur-prises in store, because we just
want people to see how fun Relay is and remember why they do it,” Sappenfield said.
The biggest is Relay Rally, which will span the week of Feb. 16. As the last big recruitment push before the Feb. 20 registra-tion deadline, it will serve as an opportunity for volunteers to flood the Pit and dining halls in search of participants.
Relay’s leaders also have lined up a blitz of bar and restaurant nights, in which establishments donate their cover charge or a portion of their proceeds for the evening to the cause.
The most recent was a well-attended night at Players on Saturday, said Spencer Busby, the event’s organizer.
Other locations include Ben and Jerry’s on Feb. 11 and the Library on Feb. 17.
Event Chairwoman Krista Pool said other events are in the works but dates have not been set yet. These events include a fashion show, a battle of a cappella groups and a spoon train — a line of peo-ple cuddling.
“We’re stepping out of our
boundaries this year and trying something new,” Pool said of the last — an official attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Spoon Train, set at 127 by Notre Dame University.
She added that either partici-pants would pay to spoon, or pay a general admission price that would include food, live music and a T-shirt.
But the events are not aimed solely at raising money and registering Relayers. Campus Outreach Chairwoman Lindsey Carpenter said the committee also will sponsor cancer aware-ness programs, including an out-door event called “Slip, Slap, Slop and Slide” to educate students on skin cancer prevention.
And because teams also raise funds on their own, many more Relay-related events likely will pop up throughout the next two months.
Students, faculty, staff and com-munity members can sign up at uncrelay.org.

National and World Newsas Senate meets to discuss stimulus bill, everything seems up for debate
mormon church involved in Prop 8
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (MCT) — The Mormon church revealed in a campaign filing that the church spent nearly $190,000 to help pass Proposition 8, the Nov. ballot measure that banned gay marriage in California.
In the filing made Friday, the Mormon church reported thou-sands in travel expenses, such as airline tickets, hotel rooms and car rentals for the cam-paign. The church also reported $96,849.31 worth of “compen-sated staff time” — hours that church employees spent work-ing to pass the same-sex mar-riage ban.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The U.S. Senate this week will debate the future of the American economy and everything’s up for discussion: how to levy taxes, cre-ate jobs, and reinvigorate state and local governments.
A growing sense that the plan passed by the House last week is flawed means almost any idea could win or lose.
Officially, senators are consid-ering an $889 billion stimulus package. Fresh in their minds is Friday’s new data showing the economy shrank 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, its
worst quarterly decline in nearly 27 years. And the prospect that January unemployment figures, due out this Friday, will show more staggering job losses.
Votes on specific proposal are likely to start Tuesday, with final passage by the end of the week.
The Senate will start with a blueprint that includes $342 bil-lion in tax cuts, some $67 billion more than the House included in its version last week. The biggest difference is the Senate’s inclu-sion of a break in the alternative minimum tax for an estimated 24 million people this year.
Insurers overstate medicare charges
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Insurance companies involved in the Medicare prescription drug benefit have overcharged subscrib-ers and taxpayers by several billion dollars, according to the inspec-tor general for the Department of Health and Human Services.
Of the participating insurance companies, 80 percent owe an estimated $4.4 billion for 2006 alone.
But Medicare has been slow to follow up and doesn’t know how much money the insurance com-panies owe taxpayers because it hasn’t begun most of the financial audits needed to determine that.
obama eyes new commerce head
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Sen. Judd Gregg, of New Hampshire, is the leading candi-date to become President Barack Obama’s commerce secretary, an administration official said Saturday. The decision could be announced as early as Monday.
Gregg’s appointment would add a third Republican to Obama’s Cabinet at a time when the presi-dent is working to build GOP sup-port for his agenda.
But it also could potentially tip the power balance in the Senate, if the Democratic governor of New Hampshire decides to name a Democrat to take Gregg’s place.
Low turnout in Iraqi election
BAGHDAD (MCT) — Voter turnout in Iraq’s provincial elections Saturday was the low-est in the nation’s short history as a democracy, despite a rela-tive calm across the nation. Only about 7.5 million of more than 14 million registered voters voted.
Interviews suggest many are disillusioned with the current government.
In addition to many choosing not to vote, thousands of poten-tial voters were unable to cast ballots Saturday because official voter lists did not contain their names. Street protests resulted.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“Holden has really reinforced that he is going to make sure that safety is not going to suffer on campus — even when those budget cuts happen.” Andy RickelmAn, chairman of the safety and security committee of student government
Holden THoRp, chancellor
Sit-ins must end at 5 p.m.
At Carolina, we’re rightly proud of our campus traditions because we have such a rich history to cel-
ebrate. One of those has been robust free expression, including students organizing protests to express views on important social issues of the day or to disagree with University positions. I know these tradi-tions well, as one of my family members was a vigorous participant in civil protests at Carolina over wages and conditions for housekeepers and disability access during the Hardin administration. So, of course, I don’t want our traditions to change.
But we are making a change in how students can express themselves inside designated administration buildings. This move comes after my Student Advisory
Committee spent part of last fall soliciting input from student
groups involved in recent protests and demonstrations, as well as key faculty and staff who interact with those groups. The committee worked diligently and held an open forum to generate ideas to include in a report to me.
I’ve taken that information into account and thought about the extended protest by Student Action with Workers last spring in South Building that ended with arrests. As the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, my office was in South Building and I experienced that stretch of time as an administrator who, as a proud alumnus, could also appreciate the con-text because of our campus culture.
But the more I thought about this issue, the more convinced I became that we need guidelines that defend free speech and the right to protest, as well as protect campus safety and preserve the University’s ability to conduct normal business. We’ve just adopted guidelines that I think accomplish those objectives by establishing some reasonable, com-mon-sense rules for our main admin-istration buildings: South Building, Student Academic Services Buildings and Carr Building. (Complete guidelines will be posted on the Dean of Students Web site, deanofstudents.unc.edu/.)
Outside, nothing changes. Our Facilities Use Policy still applies. And places like Polk Place, the Pit and the Campus Y courtyard have long been loca-tions for protests.
Inside, people are free to come in public areas (not offices) of these administration buildings, including South, and express themselves during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) as long as they don’t disrupt normal business and com-ply with the fire marshal’s occupancy rules for safety reasons. The new guide-lines detail what you can’t do inside — for example, no cranking up loud music or using bullhorns, plastering posters everywhere or bringing in micro-waves and bags of groceries or coolers. Bringing in just your lunch is OK, as long as it’s during business hours.
The main thing that’s new is that when the building closes at 5 p.m., the protesters have to leave. If they don’t, they’ll get two different warnings — first from an administrator and then by a campus police officer. If they still don’t leave, our campus police will have no choice but to make arrests.
All this does is set some reasonable limits on how a protest or sit-in happens. It doesn’t change a group’s ability to pro-test or to get its message out to the larger campus community and beyond. There are still plenty of ways to do that — just not inside one of these designated build-ings after business hours.
A key for me in reaching this conclu-sion was considering the impact an extended occupation of South Building has on campus safety and security. I’ve talked a lot about how impressed I’ve been with our Department of Public Safety. During last spring’s protest, we assigned one, sometimes two, officers to be in South Building overnight and on weekends to assure the safety of the protesters. But that diverted an already limited number of available officers — we generally have eight total at night — from their main responsibility of patrolling campus and keeping it as safe as possible for all of us. In the end, it’s more important to me to have all avail-able officers doing their regular jobs after administration buildings close.
Finally, I have an academic basis for the change. Granted, participating in a protest or sit-in can be a very important part of a student’s educational experi-ence at Carolina. But doing so for days or weeks on end can wreak havoc on stud-ies, lab reports, grades and even actually graduating. I’d rather our students have the opportunity, if they so choose, to make a statement on the issue they feel strongly about without missing a bunch of classes. We want students to go to class. That’s why they’re here.
GUEsT COLUMNIsT
The defacement of an image of Kay Yow on the N.C. State University’s
Free Expression Tunnel is no doubt a despicable act.
The former N.C. State wom-en’s basketball head coach was honored on the tunnel after losing her fight to breast can-cer Jan. 24.
Someone painted a mus-tache and wrote “cancer rules” on the portrait in blue writing the night after a basketball game between rivals.
This act clearly lacks sen-sitivity and compassion — values represented by both NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill campus communities.
UNC shouldn’t stand for such shameful and hateful acts.
Both communities cannot allow such actions so repre-hensible to undermine the inherent bond between our
schools. Our long-standing relationship is one marked by friendship and healthy competition.
We can’t let this mar the celebration of Yow’s life and achievements. Off the basket-ball court, she raised aware-ness and funds for breast can-cer research, in addition to coaching and mentoring gen-erations of girls and women.
Several women’s basketball teams across the country — including UNC-CH— have worn pink warm-ups or uni-forms in the past week in trib-ute to Yow. Her work and pass-ing had a tremendous impact on many communities.
The Free Expression Tunnel should be a place for discussion and a celebration of expression, not for hate speech and inten-tionally offensive displays.
This most recent act fol-
lows a November incident in which threatening, racist graf-fiti directed at then President-elect Barack Obama appeared, and the secret service was called to investigate.
N.C. State’s Student Senate President Pro Tem Kelli Rogers says that when these hateful messages appear on the tunnel, students take it upon them-selves to reclaim the space with messages they’re proud of.
Sure enough, by Sunday someone had painted over the slurs in pink.
It’s important to recognize that hateful messages don’t represent the sentiments of any majority.
We cannot let something so reprehensible hurt the relationship between the two universities or Yow’s legacy.
Our condolences go out to Yow’s family and friends.
A despicable defacementPainting in blue on Kay Yow’s image was reprehensible
and should not taint universities’ relationship
Student Congress should vote in favor of placing a renewal of the sus-
tainability fee on the Feb. 10 ballot.
The sustainability fee, initiated in 2003 and last renewed in 2005, is a way for students to improve the University’s impact on the environment.
At $4 a year, it is a small price for students to pay to receive tangible environmen-tal benefits.
Money from this fee has
been used to install solar panels to the roof of Morrison Residence Hall in 2007 and to fuel P2P buses with biod-iesel in 2005.
Although these initiatives have been small steps in the University’s real effect on the environment, they show UNC students that they col-lectively have the ability to slow the world’s environ-mental crisis.
Af ter Congress votes Tuesday in favor of putting the renewal of this fee on the
ballot, all students should pass the $4 fee renewal when they vote on Student Central the following week.
The funds generated by the sustainability fee are managed by Congress’ renewable energy special projects committee, which aims to move toward more energy efficiency projects and environmental education initiatives.
With the University’s com-mitment to sustainability in mind, these are initiatives we all should get behind.
The Student Supreme Court made a wise decision when it ruled
last week that the Board of Elections violated a student’s right to due process.
The court’s ruling came after the board levied a $40 fine on student body president candidate Matt Wohlford for holding a meeting in an on-campus building and speaking with The Daily Tar Heel.
( C a n d i d a t e A s h l e y Klein was also fined for these infractions, but her defense was different than Wohlford’s. Klein’s fine was reduced after she petitioned the Supreme Court.)
The elections board inter-preted these meetings as open campaigning. Such campaigning is illegal until a candidate is officially cer-
tified. At the time, Wohlford had not been certified.
The Student Code clearly states that any defendant has the right to defend him-self before fines might be imposed.
The opportunity to pres-ent a defense is a foundation to our county’s legal system, which the Student Code also espouses.
The board fined Wohlford without allowing him to present a defense. Board Chairman Ryan Morgan ended the investigation immediately after Wohlford confirmed he held meetings on campus.
But the Student Code is very explicit about the inves-tigation process. It says that the chairman should present initial investigative findings to the board in a meeting
run by the vice chairman.At the time of Morgan’s
lone investigation, a vice chairman and other mem-bers had not even been selected.
Mo r g a n s h o u l d h av e waited until the board was convened instead of inde-pendently ending his inves-tigation.
Later, when the assembled board met to determine the extent of the fine, it did so in secret. Wohlford was not invited, nor was he aware that the meeting was even occurring.
Clearly, this exclusion violated his right to due process.
In i t s d e c i s i o n , t h e Supreme Court not only restored justice but also cre-ated a clear precedence for future boards to follow.
Vote for the environmentCongress should put sustainability fee renewal on
Feb. 10 ballot, and students should pass $4 fee
Upholding due process
EDITORIAL CARTOON By alex herrington, [email protected]
The dTH did not continue young democrats coverage
TO THE EDITOR:This week, Young Democrats
endorsed Thomas Edwards for student body president and 12 candidates for Student Congress.
We endorsed Thomas Edwards because we believe his accessible leadership style will make student government more open and inclu-sive. It will also serve him well on the Board of Trustees, where he can seek input from a diverse net-work of contacts across Carolina’s student body as the University grapples with some of the tough-est budget decisions in decades.
The Daily Tar Heel covered our endorsement process closely at first, when it saw it as a politi-cal power play.
Yet when it became clear that our endorsements were based on who would make the most effec-tive student leaders, regardless of political affiliation, the DTH simply became less interested in the story.
The biggest problem of student elections is many people aren’t aware of how the elections work or what the candidates stand for.
But once elected, these candi-dates have a significant impact on our lives as students. So the story is important, even if it can’t be reduced to a catchy lede.
Student government isn’t — and shouldn’t be — about partisan politics. It’s about electing peers to represent our shared interests as students. That’s something we should all be able to believe in.

Editor’s note: The Daily Tar Heel did not change its strategy for the forum halfway through. We planned all along to send a reporter to the forum and to write a brief for page 3. We have covered all forums in this manner, with the excep-tion of the first forum — which was meant to be a story about the advent of open campaigning, not about the forum itself.
lack of fan sportsmanship reflects poorly on Unc
TO THE EDITOR:I am also often embarrassed by
UNC fans’ poor sportsmanship, and I was even more ashamed of the disrespectful responses to Capt. Bob Dilks’ Tuesday let-ter (“Sportsmanship is lacking at UNC basketball games”).
The “Let’s Go Tar Heels” cheer during opposing team’s introduc-tions is not school spirit — it’s designed to insult the other team.
I love our energy during games, but automatically cheering against members of the other team simply because they are on the other team is rude and unacceptable.
When visiting players have such experiences at UNC, it reflects poorly on our school.
I know I’m not the only respect-ful Carolina fan out there, and I hope those who responded to Capt. Dilks’ letter and some poor sports fans aren’t seen as repre-sentative of the student body.

column made assumptions about affirmative action
TO THE EDITOR:While Caucasians’ support of
affirmative action is applaudable, it is entirely misguided. By sup-porting affirmative action, you support one of the lasting officially recognized racist institutions.
The flaw that exists in affirma-tive action is the same flaw that exists in Rachel Steindel’s argu-ment for it (“Linguistic defense of affirmative action,” Jan. 28). Affirmative action assumes that all African Americans are aca-demically disadvantaged just as her article assumes that all African Americans speak Ebonics.
To make these assumptions is offensive and degrading.
Why not change affirmative action to target low socioeco-nomic applicants who might very well speak Ebonics or grow up in an academically disadvan-taged environment?
We already have a program to ensure these low socioeco-nomic students receive funding after admission — the Carolina Covenant. But no program exists to help these students gain admission into UNC in the first place.
Does a Caucasian applicant who comes from a low socioeconomic background not deserve the same chance that African-American candidates currently receive in the admission process?

duke energy’s generator is in fact a ‘minor’ pollutant
TO THE EDITOR:Duke Energy is building one
of the cleanest coal-fired units in the nation at Cliffside, N.C. Duke is installing environmental con-trols that will remove emissions at a higher rate than any existing pulverized coal unit.
In fact, Duke’s new Cliffside Unit 6 has never been classified a major emissions source. When the original permit was submit-ted, Duke used standard industry emission estimates. These emis-sions were not regulated under the Clean Air Mercury Rule.
In 2007, Duke amended its application to build one unit and added more pollution controls. Duke did not recalculate emis-sions, but divided the original estimate in half.
In October 2008, Duke and the N.C. Division of Air Quality undertook a precise estimate of emissions. It revealed that emis-sions will be low enough to qual-ify the unit as a minor emitter.
Duke is conducting this emis-sions assessment as part of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology review and in full compliance with Judge Lacy Thornburg’s order.
That a unit as large as Cliffside 6 can be a minor source is a tes-tament to how clean the unit will be. When Cliffside 6 comes on line, four old units will be retired, and 800 megawatts from other older coal-fired units will be retired over several years.
If you support a cleaner envi-ronment, then support Cliffside Unit 6.

SpoRTSBRIEFS
Youth beat experience Sunday at Fetzer Gym. Virginia Tech took a 19-15 decision from the Tar Heels while start-ing nothing but underclassmen.
The match figured to rest on the back-to-back matchups of top 25 grapplers weighing in at 141 and 149 lbs.
Sure enough, when Virginia Tech’s tan-dem of No. 20 Chris Diaz and No. 20 Pete Yates defeated UNC’s combo of No. 18 Vincent Ramirez and No. 15 Nick Stabile on back to back decisions, the match turned heavily in Virginia Tech’s favor.

If anyone understands the UNC baseball team’s frustration of making it to the College World Series three years in a row but not yet winning, it’s Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
So, Francona shared some wise words with the Tar Heels about what it takes to get over the hump as he and his team finally did in 2004.
Francona was the keynote speaker at UNC’s inaugural First Pitch Dinner, which kicked off baseball season before the Tar Heels started practice Sunday.

For a four-minute period in the first half, the North Carolina JV men’s bas-ketball team could not find a shot.
In a 21-0 run to finish the half, UNC (8-0) made sure their opponent wouldn’t find theirs.
With that, the Tar Heels never looked back en route to a 102-55 rout over King College.
“In stretches we played well, offen-sively and defensively,” coach C.B. McGrath said. “Overall, I was pleased with our effort.”

EVANSTON, Ill. — North Carolina fencing coach Ron Miller earned his 1,200th career win Saturday in the Northwestern Duels.
The victory came in a women’s match against Johns Hopkins, midway through the Tar Heels’ day of competition.
Miller has coached the Tar Heels for 42 years.
“Reaching this point is a culmina-tion of everything the team has accom-plished through the years,” Miller said. ”Everyone who has been on the team over the years has had a hand in reach-ing this point.”
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — No. 18 North Carolina downed William & Mary, 7-0, Sunday in the ITA Kick-off Weekend.

Aries (March 21-April 19)Today is a 7 - It’s back to the same old same, same old: Do the work and earn the money. The good news is that you can, and the bad news is that you must. Turn it into a game so it’s more fun.Taurus (April 20-May 20)Today is a 7 - You’re stronger now, but can you stand up to powerful opposi-tion? Sure you can. You’re stubborn. You never give up. Besides, you have friends who will help.Gemini (May 21-June 21)Today is a 7 - Something you’ve been avoiding is lurking there in your inbox. You know what it is. There’s a financial benefit to you when you get it done, so stop procrastinating.Cancer (June 22-July 22)Today is a 7 - Friends can help you find the perfect person for the job. That applies to everything from anteater to zebra tamer. It might even work for a soul mate, if you need one of those.Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Today is an 8 - Cast caution to the winds and forge ahead with enthusi-asm. This advice pertains to your work, not to your entertainment. Follow it and you’ll earn a decent living.Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Today is an 8 - When you’re working with people you love, you get a lot more done. You talk about places you’d like to go and things you’d like to see. Save your money so you can.
If February 2nd is Your Birthday...You’re under a bit of pressure this year. This keeps you practical. You can’t just go for the pie-in-the-sky; you also have
to pay the rent. Do both and you’ll get an A.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Today is a 7 - You can get what you need for your home at a pretty good price, so do it. Don’t wait until something breaks down. Fix it before that happens. You know what it is, too.Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Today is a 7 - If you hang out with knowledgeable people, you get a lot smarter yourself. Some people don’t talk about what they know. Then you have to watch. That’s the situation now.Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Today is a 7 - The work’s going well and the money does appear to be coming in. How much seems to depend on you. Are you in sales? If not, you should find something to sell. You’re a natural.Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Today is a 9 - Your motivation is good and the path ahead is clear. You’ve been thinking about doing something especially romantic, and now is the time to act. Really mean it, though. This could last.Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Today is a 6 - You’ve been very busy lately. Make time to kick back and relax. There are plenty of quiet things to do at home - like taking an extra nap. Don’t do that at work, however.Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)Today is a 7 - It’s getting easier to bring the money in. You’ll notice that more and more over the next few weeks. This alleviates the stress under which you’ve been laboring. Every little bit helps.

the Wolfpack fan base to tally his seventh career 30-point game, his second in a row in Raleigh.
“(Coach) doesn’t give me any special treatment when I mess up — he yanks me,” Hansbrough said. “I think every player needs that if they’re not playing well; they need to be taken out.
“It either motivates them to play better or gets them down, and for me I think it motivates me.”
NCSU swingman Courtney Fells caught fire in the second half and spurred a brief Wolfpack come-back, but the transition speed of Ty Lawson and the offensive balance for the Tar Heels helped UNC out-last Fells’ 20 second-half points.
All five UNC starters reached double figures, and the Tar Heels (19-2, 5-2 ACC) shot 56.5 percent during the game.
After the first few minutes, UNC was firmly in the driver’s seat and remained there for the entire game. Even during Fells’ furious run, a businesslike UNC response always
ensued, and the game lacked some of the typical bite of a rivalry contest.
Until the last 1.9 seconds, that is.When N.C. State’s Ben McCauley
delivered a hard foul to Mike Copeland with virtually no time remaining and a 15-point differ-ence on the scoreboard, Copeland lashed back.
But referees restrained him. Technical fouls were issued to both players, and apologies were exchanged after the game.
“It was a hard foul, but there was no reason for Michael to react like that,” Williams said.
North Carolina’s high shooting percentage in the game was largely a factor of where the team’s shots were coming from. The transition game and the dominant play of its bigs helped UNC get layup after layup while the Wolfpack (11-8, 2-5 ACC) settled for long jumpers. UNC outscored N.C. State by a 46-16 margin in the paint.
“They were just trying to sin-gle cover us in the post,” forward Deon Thompson said. “And that’s not really too smart, not to double down on Tyler or myself or Ed.”
Danny Green said the teams’ contrasting styles of play also con-tributed to UNC’s advantage in the paint.
“I think their long jumpers led to our layups,” he said. “Long shot, long rebound. In the beginning, we didn’t box out as well as we wanted to. But once we started boxing out and getting rebounds, we were able to run. And it just led to easy lay-ups for us at the other end.”
But the final nail was driven home by Hansbrough. After con-trolling the key for the first 37 minutes, he stepped back behind the arc and sunk an open 3-pointer to put the Tar Heels up 17.
His 70th 20-point conference game moved him into a tie with Duke’s J.J. Redick for the ACC record, and his 118th game in dou-ble figures tied Sam Perkins’ UNC record. And maybe, just maybe, his second-half effort earned him a ticket out of the doghouse.
“He’s a heck of a player,” Williams said.

feel, just making shots when we’re not in the flow of things. So it’s nice to have everyone clicking, and we’re tough to beat that way.”
The Tar Heels were particularly effective both in the paint (46-16 edge) and on the fast break (21-7).
While Hansbrough had his way down low — especially in the sec-ond half — Ty Lawson continually pushed the ball up court on both made and missed baskets. He ended with 16 points and five assists.
“I’d definitely say that the point guard tempo, control (helped stop
the runs),” Green said. “Ty, I think, did a great job controlling the tempo and pushing it, getting in the lane, finding our bigs, getting some easy baskets, getting to the free throw line.”
The Tar Heels also kept bal-ance and didn’t always turn to Hansbrough when the score got a little tighter.
With 5:35 left, the Wolfpack crept back to within eight and they looked poised to finally make a charge. But it was Deon Thompson who then scored four points to help put the game out of reach.
Furthermore, the Tar Heels con-tinued to improve on their second-
half shooting — a problem that plagued them in losses to Boston College (29.3 percent) and Wake Forest (28.2). Even in the recent nar-row win against Florida State they hardly scorched the nets in shooting 39.1 percent after halftime.
UNC was consistent against the Wolfpack, shooting 56.3 percent in the first half and 56.7 percent in the second.
And while Green said the team still isn’t playing its best basketball, it’s hard to imagine it will get better on the offensive side of things.

on in games now is rebounding,” McCants said. “If I’m rebounding, I’m feeling good.”
She quietly mixed together a soft jumper and some easy layups before making one last crowd-pleasing play upon exiting.
With just less than nine min-utes remaining in the second, DeGraffenreid stood dribbling outside the 3-point arc. As she picked up her dribble, McCants darted around a screen and cut to the basket.
DeGraffenreid lobbed the ball toward the hoop as a streaking McCants banked in a perfect alley-oop.
It was the type of rim-attacking play the team has missed — the type of play that Hatchell hopes to become a mainstay once more as the team heads forward into a dif-ficult patch of ACC play.
“(The offensive aggressiveness) is just a mentality,” she said. “That’s the way our teams have always been, and I think we’ve gotten away from that in the last month or so.”

are still students working toward a degree. Classes, practices and coaches’ meetings fill up a day in no time.
“It’s definitely a full time job,” Flack said.
“There’s a big time difference, because as a coach you’re busy the entire day,” he said. “Players have more time off. I don’t get home until six or seven, but I love it.”
Gey finished up her under-graduate degree in May and is in California, continuing her field hockey career by playing and practicing with the national team.
She has dreams of becoming a sports announcer one day, but
Shelton sees a future in coaching for her.
“The longer she plays, the great-er her breadth of knowledge will become,” she said. “She’s a natural teacher.”
Flack has flirted with the thought of pursuing a profession-al baseball contract. He does see a future in coaching and said his time as an assistant coach under Fox has only intensified his desire to have that title as well.
“I definitely want to be a head coach one day, and you have to work your way up just like any other business,” he said. “I’m start-ing out early, so hopefully I’ll get an opportunity to move up.”

off with such a team again, with a slightly better result.
UNC earned a hard-fought 4-3 win against California on Sunday.
This time UNC was able to grab a win despite losing the doubles point, an improvement they hope will help with top-ranked Ohio State visiting Friday.
That is why it will be important for the Tar Heels to learn from their loss instead of hanging their heads.
“Like coach just said in the lock-er room, we’re going to get over it quick,” Crone said.
“You can look at it two ways. I think we’re going to hopefully look at it in a positive way.”

R A L E I G H — I f Ty l e r Hansbrough didn’t already have enough motivation coming into Saturday’s rivalry game with N.C. State, he was quickly provided with any extra jolt he might have needed.
After failing to box out and gather a rebound, UNC coach Roy Williams yanked last year’s National Player of the Year and sat him on the bench, only two-and-a-half minutes into the game.
Apparently, the message was delivered.
Hansbrough bounced back to score 31 points to lead the way for a 93-76 North Carolina win,
Heels roll for in-state rivalry win
By CHris HeMPsonASSiSTANT SporTS eDiTor
For more than 14 minutes Sunday against N.C. Central, Italee Lucas couldn’t miss.
Five times she hoisted up 3-point shots, and five times the net swished true.
About the only thing hotter than her effort was the play of No. 10 North Carolina (19-3) as a whole, and the Tar Heels crushed the Lady Eagles, 98-45, on 54.9 percent shooting.
Still, Lucas wasn’t alone in her shooting prowess as four bench players contributed to a 14-0 UNC run in the game’s first four minutes.
“After the losses, we had some practices where I about killed them,” coach Sylvia Hatchell said.
“They didn’t enjoy those prac-tices, so hopefully they made an impact on them and they don’t want to go there any more.”
The team’s scoring difference against NCCU (8-15) allowed Hatchell to experiment with her lineup, and all 14 players garnered at least nine minutes.
Juniors Christina DeWitt and Trinity Bursey were the main benefactors of this system. Both saw early action when Hatchell subbed out all her starters 55 sec-onds into the game.
Moments after her entrance, Dewitt slid in a jumper. For the next Tar Heel score, Bursey swished home a long 3-pointer.
“It’s a lot of things that happen in practice, where they help get us better or even (them) working hard now to challenge us,” senior Rashanda McCants said. “It’s kind of the small things that make a big difference, and I think they played
very well.”Even with all the attention to a
balanced output, Hatchell’s usual starters still made an impact.
Lucas started the show.“When I hit the first one, I
kind of felt like it was going to be a good night,” she said.
“I just continue to shoot on my own time, and it’s paying off.”
As fellow sophomore Cetera DeGraffenreid gathered the open-ing tip, Lucas calmly found a posi-tion in her new home for the first half — behind the arc.
Seconds later, DeGraffenreid found her, and the barrage began as Lucas netted her first 3-pointer of the afternoon.
Of the starters, McCants in particular put together another impressive output with 14 points, four assists and four rebounds.

first player, now coach
By BetH MeCHuMSTAff WriTer
Not every North Carolina athlete can be the next Michael Jordan or Mia Hamm. Most know that before they suit up in the Carolina blue.
But that doesn’t make the tran-sition from revered player to mere mortal any easier.
“I’ve been playing the game since I was four years old,” former Tar Heel baseball standout Chad Flack said. “It’s tough to sit back and watch.”
Flack and other UNC athletes have found a way to make their presence still matter by becoming undergraduate assistant coaches.
It’s normal, due to extenuat-ing factors such as playing for national teams or red-shirt situ-ations, for players to still be at school but to have exhausted their eligibility.
To quench their thirst for the sport and to remain woven in the fabric of their team, standing on the sideline replaces playing.
The field hockey team has a long history of undergraduate assistant coaches, most recently with Olympian Jesse Gey in the fall.
Field hockey coach Karen Shelton said someone wel l respected can have a huge impact in terms of inspiration. Plus, she can help in a way that even a national championship-winning coach such as Shelton can’t — Gey won one as a player.
“When a peer like Jesse makes a comment, it can have more impact than when I say some-thing,” Shelton said. “It’s like how what a friend can see is more meaningful than when a parent says the same thing. It’s the same way with coaches.”
And its not just her words that can be more powerful than Shelton’s, it’s also her shot.
“A player like Jesse can execute plays perfectly, so the team can get an accurate picture of what it is we’re looking for,” she said. “That’s a huge value. Back in the day I used to demonstrate; now I can’t do that anymore.”
Because the players are still young, it can be a concern that current players will have a hard time respecting a coach who, just a year before, the current team partied with.
But Shelton said because of the nature of an undergraduate assis-tant coach still being a top player, she hasn’t seen the age concern as a problem. She said it’s the impact players who become assistant coaches, not the bench player.
Flack agreed that lack of respect had never been a problem for him, mostly because coach Mike Fox doesn’t rely on him to be the disciplinarian.
“I’m more of a mentor,” he said. “I’m still their best friend, and I try to play the active medium between coach and friend. I don’t have to holler and get them going, I’m just there to hang out.”
It seems like the perfect gig. Hanging out with friends and playing the sport you love. But as every athlete knows, there’s no comparison to being out on the field in the heat of a game, when a person is able to make a differ-ence with skill, not words.
Both Flack and Gey admitted they feel a void when watching a game they think they could help in.
“I definitely want to get out there, especially during a close game,” Gey said. “It’s frustrating to not be able to do anything.”
Still the experience as an assis-tant has been worth it, though for both, it hasn’t been easy. These former players turned coaches
athletes can excel as student coaches

Tar Heels fall in ITa qualifier
By JorDAn MAsonSeNior WriTer
All they needed was one more win.
And the feat seemed well with-in reach, with the No. 19 North Carolina men’s tennis team leading 6-5 in doubles play on the second and third courts.
B u t N o . 3 8 V i r g i n i a Commonwealth rallied to tie the score at six on both courts, then again at seven.
The Tar Heels proceeded to lose two straight sets on court three and a tiebreaker on court two, giving VCU the doubles point and a jump-
start to its 4-2 victory against the stunned Tar Heels at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on Saturday.
“You have to give VCU credit,” UNC coach Sam Paul said. “They won the bigger points.”
The loss was the first of the spring season for North Carolina and cost the Tar Heels an invitation to the ITA National Team Indoors Tournament.
And despite a tough 4-3 win Sunday against California, the team still is left wondering what might have been.
Every time they needed a point in their match against VCU, the Tar Heels were unable to capital-ize — starting early, in doubles play.
The teams of Andrew Crone and Zach Hunter and Brennan Boyajian and Alex Rafiee both failed to clinch the doubles point
for UNC after the No. 5 ranked doubles team of Taylor Fogleman and Clay Donato won the first match 8-4.
“I think that would’ve been a huge momentum boost,” Crone said. “Maybe things would’ve gone a little different if we had gotten that point.”
The Tar Heels lost the big points in singles play, as well, and singles wins by Donato and Fogleman proved to be the only scoring for the team on the day.
Crone lost a particularly close match 7-6(3), 6-4 that clinched the win for VCU.
His was the most intense of what became a battle between the teams in singles play, with words
being exchanged between players on multiple courts and even mem-bers of the teams being separated in the stands.
It was a significant step up in intensity in what was the first big match for the newest members of the team.
“I remember when I was a freshman, it was a lot of pressure,” Donato said. “You’ve got people up here yelling, people down here yelling … it’s a completely different atmosphere.”
But Paul said the match was not the first and will not be the last with that level of intensity.
“Welcome to college tennis,” he said. “It’ll be like that every time we play a good team.”
And it was not even 24 hours before the Tar Heels were facing

Starters notch 83 points for victoryBy Jesse BAuMgArtnerSeNior WriTer
RALEIGH — If North Carolina was looking for a blueprint in offensive production from its start-ing five, Saturday’s scoresheet just might be worth keeping around.
Balance was the key word in UNC’s 93-76 victory against rival N.C. State at the RBC Center. While Tyler Hansbrough came back from a lackluster performance with 31 points, it was the contributions of his teammates that allowed the Tar Heels to score the ball easily time and time again.
The starting unit all ended up in double figures and produced 83 points of UNC’s final tally.
“We were pushing it up, getting some baskets inside,” coach Roy Williams said. “You like to look down there and see five guys in double figures.”

the fifth straight for the No. 5 Tar Heels and also the fifth in a row against the Wolfpack.
“He didn’t box out,” Williams said about Hansbrough allowing N.C. State’s Brandon Costner to snatch the easy rebound.
“I love him to death, and, my gosh, I’ve been the luckiest coach in America,” Williams said. “But anybody can box out or at least make an effort. And he didn’t, so he got a chance to come over there and see what it feels like to be over there early.”
But coming off his worst offensive performance of the season at Florida State, Hansbrough shot 12-17 from the floor amidst constant jeers from

The versatility of the scoring was perhaps the most important part for the Tar Heels.
Danny Green gave them produc-tion at the start of the game with some 3-balls to keep pace with the Wolfpack. And even though UNC would hit only five 3-pointers for the entire game, balanced scoring down low and 18-for-20 shooting from the line allowed them to coast a bit after going up 12 points at the half.
“I looked at the scoreboard, all five of our starters in double figures, so that’s a nice thing to have. Everyone was making plays,” senior Bobby Frasor said. “Wayne (Ellington) was taking it to the basket. … Danny, he always keeps us in the game early, I
