Robert Reda, a Chapel Hill bowhunter, has advocated in the last few months for the town to apply for a program to hunt deer within city limits. Reda said the program will help control increasing deer problems throughout the area.

Robert Reda isn’t defending his roses or azaleas. But the Chapel Hill resident can still be found in the early morning or late evening during hunting season harnessed in a tree, aiming at deer with bow and arrow. Reda is an urban archer, and he’s one of more than 25 residents advocating to bring to Chapel Hill a program that would allow deer hunting with bows and arrows. Reda, 56, said at the Town Council meeting on Jan. 11 that establishing such a program, which is offered by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, would be the safest way to cull Chapel Hill’s growing deer population. Those who spoke at the meeting were concerned for more than their garden plants. They also pointed to car accidents and Lyme disease as hazards deer cause. Urban archery doesn’t differ all

that much from regular archery; the same permits and equipment are required. Hunters just have to be aware of the different environment and potential hazards. He insisted the archery would be performed by experienced archers like himself. Reda shot his first deer while in high school in his hometown of Katonah, N.Y. He said his father began bow hunting after World War II, but his primary instructor was actually his high school football coach, who he still hunts with to this day. Reda said he has killed more than 80 deer. His farthest successful shot was 32 yards, but most of his shots fall between 12 and 18 yards. Despite being an avid hunter, Reda said he has a love for animals. “I’d go into a ditch rather than run a squirrel over,” he said. Reda’s wife, Susan, said she was a vegetarian when they met, but

Some state legislators say chances are slim that the UNC system will see any of the revenue generated by the state-mandated tuition increase. Student Body President Jasmin Jones began a meeting with N.C. General Assembly representatives last week to discuss UNC System President Erskine Bowles’ plan to return tuition revenues to system schools. The General Assembly passed a mandate last summer increasing tuition by the lesser of $200 or 8 percent at all system schools. The average system-wide increase would be $180. N.C. Sen. Ellie Bowles’ plan would allow uniKinnaird said versities to draw money back the tuition from the state-mandated tuition hike — which increased tuition request has by the lesser of $200 or 8 percent little chance. last summer. The revenue would otherwise go to the state’s general fund. If legislators decide to return part of the revenue, it will be used for need-based aid and for improving graduation and retention rates at system schools. So far, Jones has met with N.C. Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, Student Body N. C . R e p . D e b o r a h R o s s , President D-Wake, N.C. Rep. Robert Grady, Jasmin Jones R-Onslow, and N.C. Rep. William is meeting with Current, R-Gaston. “It was a war,” Jones said state legislators. Thursday. “I’m not asking them to vote, I’m asking them to hear the students.” Even though legislators said they supported the plan, they said it would be hard for the appropriations committee to approve it because of the state’s economic woes. The overall appropriation committee might reject the plan to return the revenue, even if the education subcommittee supports it, Kinnaird said. “At this point, the likelihood of it going back to the institution is low,” she said. Ross, a UNC law school alumna, said she was in favor of returning funds to the system, but said it’s too early to predict what legislators might include in next year’s budget. Student body presidents from different campuses will be joining Jones in her efforts to sway legislators from key committees. Jones said that student government will need to perform additional research and come up with concrete numbers in order to shore up their arguments. “What’s been working is personal stories,” she said. The Association of Student Governments, which represents students of UNC-system schools, will be discussing strategies to lobby legislators at their next meeting.

UNC Hospitals officials have developed a plan to receive patients transferred from Haiti who need medical assistance after last week’s devastating earthquake. Whether patients will be transferred to the hospital and when is still uncertain. “We’re not sure at all,” hospital spokeswoman Stephanie Crayton

Students gathered in the Pit on Friday evening to hold a vigil for the victims of the massive earthquake that rocked Haiti on Tuesday.

Chapel Hill still has work to do to achieve racial equality. This was the central message of Monday’s speakers at the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Rally, March and Worship Service in downtown Chapel Hill. “We are not only here to talk about the legacy of Martin Luther King, but to talk about how we can keep the dream alive,” said Michelle Cotton Laws, the president of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People branch, the organization that sponsored the event.

School district expects layo≠s Eating Budget likely to shrink by $2 million By Julie Crimmins Staff writer

Another round of layoffs is expected at Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools due to the second significant cut to the district’s budget in two years. District administrators expect its budget to shrink by several million dollars next school year, Superintendent Neil Pedersen said. “It is reasonable to assume we will have to make some reductions in positions,” Pedersen said. Staff salaries make up nearly 85 percent of the district’s budget, he said, giving them few other ways to reduce the budget. He anticipates a $2 million cut to the current budget, which was already downsized $3 million last year. Pedersen said last year’s cuts Nominations being accepted started in areas not directly relatfor Carolina Chiron Award ed to educating students. But the Nominations are being accepted for the Carolina Chiron Award, which gives one professor the opportunity to deliver a “last lecture” each year. Founded last year by seniors Lizzie Bernold and Andrew Coonin, the award honors the intellectual achievements and character of a UNC professor. Last year, communications professor Paul Ferguson received the award, which was inspired by Randy Pausch’s widely known “Last Lecture,” which was seen by millions on YouTube and showcased on the Oprah Winfrey Show. This year’s winner will deliver a lecture in April as though it were his or her last. In addition to the lecture, recipients receive a monetary award which is split between the professor’s department and a philanthropic or research project of their choice. The nomination form can be found on the Carolina Chiron Award’s Web site, chironaward. web.unc.edu.

extent of the cuts made it necessary to reduce personnel costs by reducing the number of teachers and increasing class sizes, he said. “This is almost certainly going to mean reductions which will impact students,” School Board Chairman Mike Kelley said. Both Pedersen and Kelley noted that many ideas from last year’s budget discussion will likely come up again, including cuts to health and electives programs. “We will look at possibilities that were brought up last year, some of which we did not have to implement,” Pedersen said. “I expect a good number of those will go into effect.” For the second straight year, the district will not receive money from the state for new textbooks. The decrease in state funding is projected to total $1.1 million. “We have a global financial — for lack of a better word — mess,

and that deficit trickles down from global to the state and down to schools,” Chapel Hill High School Principal Jesse Dingle said. Several factors will force the district to pay an additional $1.2 million next year, Pedersen said, including rising utility costs and a decreased state contribution for health care and retirement benefits. “We’ve basically been absorbing an inflationary increase,” Pedersen said, “which equals a reduction in buying power.” Small increases in district revenue are expected to keep the shortfall below $2 million, between 1 percent and 2 percent of the total budget. School administrators said they were not surprised by the cuts. “We had been reading and hearing all along that this year there would be more cutbacks,” McDougle Middle School Principal Debra Scott said. The school board will discuss the budget at its planning con-

The school district’s total budget is usually between $110 million and $120 million, Kelley said.

a.m. meal is crucial Nutritionist shares breakfast benefits By Victoria Cook staff writer

Amanda Holliday is a registered dietitian and a clinical professor in UNC’s Department of Nutrition in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. Below, she shares her knowledge about the importance of eating breakfast and suggestions for students who eat breakfast onContact the City Editor the-go. at citydesk@unc.edu.

Do most UNC students eat breakfast? I really don’t know. But if they’re like most other people, they probably don’t eat breakfast consistently. People get in a hurry. I think our society just moves faster and faster every day, and we get in a hurry and we eat on the run. So, if we do eat breakfast we eat something quickly on our way out the door or while we’re commuting.

What are the health benefits of breakfast for students? Well, certainly we know that students who consume breakfast score higher on tests. Your brain is more alert and, therefore, you’re Amanda going to do bet- Holliday says ter. Your perfor- that students mance on what- can find cheap, ever task you’re quick options. doing is going to be better. Breakfast is the first fuel of the day, so our brains need it, and all of our body systems benefit from some fuel early in the day.

Carolina College Advising Corps accepting applications The Carolina College Advising Corps is accepting applications through Jan. 30 from 2010 graduates to work as college advisers at low-income N.C. high schools. The advisors are intended to help students, many of whom would be the first in their families to attend college, overcome barriers such as a lack of education regarding financial aid and the college admissions process. An information session will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday in Student Union, Room 3413. Interviews for adviser positions will be conducted in February.

How does eating breakfast affect students mentally?

Ken Strong, who taught theater and performed at UNC, was remembered in the Paul Green Theatre on Monday. Strong was a beloved member of the faculty, and was known for saying “I love you” to his students at the end of his classes. Strong died at the age of 52 on Tuesday.

Well, you’re providing energy for your brain. But I do think that they’re mentally not as sharp as when they eat breakfast. I think many of us can attest to that. When you skip a meal, you don’t feel as good.

LOVE, JOY AND LAUGHTER

By Lindsay Saladino staff writer

Kenneth P. Strong lived fully, loved greatly, taught passionately, performed powerfully and left his audience applauding loudly and wanting more of his incredible spirit. Strong, 52, died on Tuesday, Jan. 12, after a long battle with cancer. He was a professor in the department of dramatic art and a member of PlayMakers Repertory Company. A memorial was held at 1 p.m. Monday in the Paul Green Theatre to celebrate his life. The Rev. Chuck Bugg began the ceremony, speaking of how Strong inspired him and how he was someone who loved life. He finished the invocation by saying, “What matters most is the content of our character.” As friends and family shared memories of Strong, they showed pictures of his life on a screen in the theater, accompanied by the song “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green. Through those tales and tributes, Strong’s character rang loud and true.

“When I think of Ken, I think of love and joy and laughter,” said Ray Dooley, a fellow professor in the dramatic art department and member of PlayMakers. McKay Coble, chairwoman of the dramatic art department and member of PlayMakers, shared a memory of a picture Strong had sent her while on vacation. In the picture he lay on a float, splashing around in the pool. He added a note that read, “Weather is here; wish you were beautiful.” Even though Strong liked to make others laugh, he was also dedicated to his work. While battling cancer, Strong still performed in plays and taught classes. His wife, Kee Strong, spoke of his desire for challenges. She said he was always looking to climb the highest mountain. Determined, he would passionately hike to the top of a mountain, and once there, would turn to her and say, “I think there is a higher one.” Some speakers at the memorial read letters or played recordings from Strong’s family.

“If I have to walk across the universe, I will find you again,” Kee Strong said, in a recorded message. Just as people started crying during moving statements about Strong’s character, they were soon laughing at stories of him joking around and brightening others’ days. Teaching was another passion of Strong’s, and his students remember him most as the enthusiastic professor who made drama come alive in class. “He loved every one of his students, and he ended his class by saying ‘I love you,’” Coble said. One of Strong’s traditions in his lectures was to blast the song “Once in a Lifetime” by Talking Heads and make his students stand up and do crazy arm motions. In remembrance, the memorial ended with all of Strong’s friends and family joyfully repeating the ritual. “In whatever years Ken had, Ken taught you and so many other people what really mattered in life,” Bugg said.

Harvard to prepare K-12 leaders

Chapel Hill police have arrested a man they think is responsible for many recent Chapel Hill business break-ins, according to a news release. Corey Scott Shepherd, a 40-yearold Wake Forest resident, was charged with 19 counts of felony breaking and entering, one count of felony larceny and 20 counts of misdemeanor damage to property, the release states. Shepherd was released on a $43,000 unsecured bond and will make his first court appearance today. According to the news release, Chapel Hill investigators worked with Carrboro, Durham and Hillsborough police departments and the Chatham County sheriff ’s office.

Harvard University is introducing a new program to teach future leaders how to best tackle the issues facing K-12 education. The tuition-free program, Doctor of Education Leadership, will be Harvard Graduate School of Education’s first new degree program in 74 years. The threeyear program is expected to start in August with an initial 25 students. “It’s a new degree designed to prepare system leaders for roles across the sector,” said Elizabeth City, executive director of the program. The program focuses on training students in the history, politics and organization of education, preparing graduates to be leaders — From staff and wire reports. who address education disparities

through school systems, businesses and non-profits, she said. The program is made tuitionfree to attract the most diverse applicant pool possible, City said. The program also covers the students’ living expenses. According to a press release, the program will be funded in part through a $10-million grant by The Wallace Foundation, an organization that advocates strengthening education leadership. The program is partnering with existing organizations such as Teach For America to build on the work that has already been done to improve the education system, City said. The Teach For America model enlists recent college graduates to teach in low-income communities, Teach For America founder and CEO Wendy Kopp wrote in an

e-mail. Third-year students in the Harvard program might be interning with Teach For America, Kopp said. Hundreds of UNC students have participated in the Teach For America program. The Harvard program aims to recruit such students. Erin Marubashi, Campus Y copresident and Teach For America applicant, expressed interest in applying for the Harvard program in the future. “I think there are a lot of students coming out of Teach For America who know education is for them,” Marubashi said.

“To have a degree that matches that kind of specific area, I think it’s fantastic.” While applicants only need a bachelor’s degree to be considered for the program, the university will give those with years of work experience preference over recent college graduates, City said. “There is no particular profile, just someone interested in education and has leadership experience with intellectually vigorous entrepreneurial spirit,” she said. “This program is really pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.” Contact the State and National Editor at statnat@unc.edu.

Well I think that oatmeal is good. You can buy plain oatmeal very cheap. You can just do a cup of oatmeal and one and three quarters of a cup of a liquid. You could do a cup of low-fat milk and the rest water. Then you can add some dried fruits, maybe some raisins or dried cherries, and just throw that in there … throw in some walnuts or almonds. Then have a cup of yogurt.

Now what if you have a college student who has absolutely no time? What is an on-the-go item that he or she could eat? A piece of fruit and a good granola bar. There are some really tasty low-fat granola bars that incorporate almonds, walnuts and dried fruits in them that are tasty and that would be easy. Then they can eat an apple on the way to class and eat their granola bar. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

The Daily Tar Heel

From Africa to UNC, choir brings energy By Katy Doll Arts Editor

A single, piercing note split the silence to start Sunday night’s show, setting the stage for a highenergy and emotional performance from the Soweto Gospel Choir. The South African choir, composed of about 25 members who sing and dance, performed a program of traditional African songs, Christian spirituals and contemporary pieces. Members of the choir performed in brightly colored costumes, with a costume change during the show’s intermission. Though many of the faster songs had audiences clapping along or tapping their toes, the stand-outs of the night were the tightly knit harmonies of some of the a cappella numbers. The fourth and fifth songs of the evening, “Ngahlulele” and “Mangisondele Nkosi Yam,” were particularly powerful. For the fourth song, only the women sang, standing in a straight line at the front of the

stage, their quiet intensity matching their emotion-laden vocals. Throughout the performance, the rich, deep tones of the basses were matched by the clear, bright vocals from the soprano soloists. After a series of traditional songs, the choir performed more modern music, focusing on songs that “speak to the soul,” as one group member put it. Audiences recognized the familiar tones of Bob Marley’s “One Love” and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” For both songs, the choir brought a sort of stadium-filling sound that complemented the original recordings while still creating a unique take on the material. Though many groups have performed their own take on “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” this performance presented the song at its best. In addition to the vocal stylings, each song was presented with some dancing, ranging from sim-

concertreview Soweto Gospel Choir Memorial Hall Sunday ply swaying with the beat to having a high-kicking competition in the middle of the stage. For some pieces, the music was upstaged by the dancing, as the audience found itself watching the movements of the colorful garments. Some songs were performed with accompaniment from drums and guitar, and the guitar at times overpowered the soloist’s vocals. The performers were excellent showmen and women, executing dances, songs, stage exits and passings of the mic seamlessly. Long after the show, audiences could hear the beat of the drums and the raising of voices in song. Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.

said. “As the world is watching this unfold, we’re watching this unfold, too.” The hospital could treat between 25 and 50 patients, said Dalton Sawyer, director of emergency preparedness and continuity planning. The magnitude-7.0 earthquake hit Haiti on Jan. 12. The Haitian Red Cross estimates the number of deaths between 45,000 and 50,000. About 1,700 U.S. soldiers are now in Haiti airlifting emergency supplies and the injured, operating the airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince and helping provide security amid reports of looting and gunfire throughout the city. Another 2,200 Marines arrived offshore Monday, bringing supplies. Sawyer said he has been receiving calls from the U.S. government and relief organizations for days asking if UNC has the capacity to treat patients if the need arises. The biggest needs are in pediat-

after 16 years of marriage, she has learned to enjoy meat. “I make a killer venison meatloaf,” she said. Reda, an AT&T Inc. employee, is also on the Orange County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors. Earlier this month he took homemade venison sausage bread to the board’s retreat, where he said many first-time venison eaters enjoyed it. Reda called archery a good solution because it’s safe without causing a disturbance. “It’s quiet, a challenge and it gives you the opportunity to get close to the animals you’re hunting.” Reda makes use of deer he kills and said he has donated more than 20 to Hunters for the Hungry, which provides venison to the needy. At the meeting, Reda urged the council to consider archery rather than alternatives, which include asking residents to build eight-foot fences around their yards, using deer repellent or gardening with plants that are less enticing to the animals. “Putting up fences between neighbors is not something we do in Chapel Hill,” Reda told the board. The council plans to hold a public forum on urban archery in February where multiple experts will speak. “I was very fascinated by what he talked about, and I’m very openminded about learning more,” council member Gene Pease said. Council member Laurin Easthom said she is concerned with the safety risks of urban archery. “I’m not ready to make that step yet; I want more information first,” she said at the meeting. The statewide urban archery season runs from January to February each year. The deadline to apply for the 2011 program is in April. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

ric, intensive care and burn units, he said. Right after the earthquake, hospitals would have seen patients with crushed bones, other orthopedic injuries and burns, but as more time passes, UNC Hospitals will more likely receive patients with chronic conditions, he said. “We need to make sure we evolve with the incident.” The hospital would receive about a 72-hour notice before a patient arrives, he said. A committee of different doctors from various departments would be contacted immediately. They would decide whether the hospital can handle additional patients, considering available beds and equipment, staffing and cost. “We can’t put ourselves into the position where we take in more than we can handle,” because the hospital has an obligation to its current patients, Sawyer said. There are also several cultural and language barriers health care providers must overcome to treat the Haitian patients, he said. Haitians speak a unique version of French and Haitian Creole.

The difference between Haitian French and European French is similar to the differences between Spanish spoken in South America and Spain. Sawyer said he has been working to find translators specific to the Haitian languages if the need for them arises. Hospital officials also have updated the hospital’s exact coordinates so military helicopters will find it more easily. Sawyer said getting patients out of Haiti and into the United States is another challenge. There is a lot of paperwork to keep track of the patients and make sure they have a place to go after treatment. UNC Hospitals would absorb some of the cost of caring for the patients. It could also be reimbursed by relief organizations or the United States government. “We don’t want to say no to anybody,” Sawyer said. “But we want to make sure what we can do we can sustain.”

Some of the speakers, including local NAACP and University leaders, expressed their concern about local schools and Orange County neighborhoods becoming more economically homogenous and thus racially re-segregated. “The gentrification of the area results in its re-segregation,” said Laws, who said she thinks that Chapel Hill and the University have the power to stop it by monitoring the development of the neighborhoods, but they don’t. “ The black middle class is shrinking. Black neighborhoods, like Northside, are disappearing and being taken over by developers,” she said. “Because of the rising property taxes, people who work here can-

not afford to live here anymore.” A procession down Franklin Street started at Chapel Hill’s Peace and Justice Plaza and ended at the First Baptist Church of Chapel Hill. The church was packed with a racially diverse and enthusiastic crowd of about 300, applauding, laughing and singing. “I am here because it is important that we remember individuals like Martin Luther King and his ideals of equality and peaceful protests,” said freshman Kane French. Timothy Tyson, author of “Blood Done Sign My Name” and a Duke University research scholar, said the major issues facing racial equality in Chapel Hill are housing and education. “The issue is to know whether or not poor people will still be able to

live in Chapel Hill,” he said. Tyson gave a presentation on the Civil Rights Movement and pointed out how it succeeded because of local activists. “Martin Luther King came because there was already a movement. He was more like a gospel singer than an organizer,” he said. As the event drew to a close, the audience began to sing the popular civil rights song, “We Shall Overcome.” “We should not see the history of the Civil Rights Movement as a succession of dramatic events, but as a tireless and everyday movement and effort of local people,” Tyson said. “It was all happening everywhere.”

“We can’t be by ourselves on this,” Jones said. Meanwhile, UNC administrators said they remain optimistic that schools will receive money back from the state. Interim Provost Bruce Carney said the measure would mean

that UNC-CH could see its coffers expand by $5.3 million if all of the $200 increase was returned. “I’m hopeful,” Carney said, adding, “It’s (the students’) money.”

Lincoln-inspired work deserves a tip of the hat By Lauren Russell Assistant arts editor

Bill T. Jones presented a modern dance inspired by Abraham Lincoln without top hats, big beards or pennies Friday night at Memorial Hall. It was called “Fondly Do We Hope … Fervently Do We Pray” and presented by the Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company. The performance, rich with music, dance and dialogue, demands several views from the audience so they may focus on each element composing the piece. The many elements make it a different trip for every viewer. The work presented profiles of historical figure Lincoln and his controversial first lady Mary Todd, as well as hypothetical slaves and people alive during the past few

decades or the future who could have been impacted by Lincoln’s assassination. The music, dancing and stage setting were beautiful in and of themselves but were seemingly just vehicles for Jones to narrate on America’s twisted history as a result of Lincoln not creating his utopia through his Reconstruction. Dancers artistically threw their bodies of achieved perfection, which only exercising for a living produces, around the stage acting as their characters. The movements of the 11 dancers and sounds of the four musicians presented an emotional trip void of the clichés that would seem unavoidable in a work based on such an icon in history. “Writing music about Abraham Lincoln is not the easiest thing

I’ve had to do,” the band leader Christopher Lancaster said jokingly in the Q-and-A after the performance. Despite the difficult task, the musicians performed original pieces as well as works by other great composers, including Mendelssohn, that displayed the diversity of the musicians and set the serious mood. Narration, by a man whose strong voice could compete with Morgan Freeman, was rich with well-researched history about Lincoln and America’s long fight against slavery. The story was nonlinear and inconclusive, therefore not for the individual looking for thoughtless entertainment. The holistic performance provides more meaning to the viewers after they have time to

concertreview Bill T. Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Co. Memorial Hall Friday let it settle in their heads. A history buff would get more out of the performance, but simply being familiar with the civil rights movement and the Civil War was enough background to perceive the emotion of it. Jones presented a unique work that manages to entertain even those who think sitting through a 90-minute dance an arduous task, and that makes one want to shake a fist at John Wilkes Booth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ou might have gone to the gym on the first day after Winter Break. If you did, then we probably bumped into one another on the track. It was packed in there. When I got to Rams Head Recreation Center, I was sure that I had actually stumbled onto the set of a National Geographic special. I slowly lumbered around the track like the proverbial elephant at a watering hole, and the swift, predatory runners wove in and out of the masses in an attempt to keep their heart rates up. I have to assume that at least some of these people were here because of their New Year’s resolutions. If you’ve missed out on the last century of American culture, perhaps you haven’t heard about New Year’s resolutions. But chances are that you know what they are, and you might have even made a few for 2010. You might have decided to get better grades, or to budget more effectively. But one resolution that pops up for many people year after year is fitness. People will frequently resolve to exercise more. The holidays come with desserts, large family gatherings and general lethargy, so often the New Year is seen as a new chance to rededicate oneself to pursuing a fitter lifestyle. The sad truth is that though all these students are crammed into the gym on the first day after break, attendance will wane as the semester progresses. But you and I don’t have to follow that trend. Instead of letting your exercise habits fall to the wayside, think about these tips from the American Heart Association. They fall into a few general categories: n Turn exercise into something habitual. You can do this by setting a time when you always plan on going, and fitting it into your schedule. Successful exercisers I’ve talked to treat going to the gym just like another class. Getting into a rhythm will ensure that you actually get there. n Start slowly. You aren’t helping yourself by working out so strenuously in the first week that you burn out for a month. If you just manage to do moderate activity, that’s better than nothing at all. That sounds like a platitude, but I’ve been stopped from exercising because I was worried it wouldn’t be “serious” exercise. n Enjoy what you do to stay fit. Use music or fun activities and get excited about your upcoming run. Go to a place that doesn’t stress you out, and choose exercises you’ll want to complete. n Get your friends to help you out. Being responsible to other people has worked for team sports for centuries, and it will work for you as well. Stack the deck in your favor and choose workout buddies who will keep you on track. Sometimes we love that our friends will let us off the hook easily, but lax expectations won’t help you here. The best gym partners strike a balance between supportive coach and stern taskmaster. In Chapel Hill, you can look around on any given day and see happy people jogging through the streets. Even if you’re not marathon-ready, you’ll release some endorphins, move your body and have a good time. In this episode of National Geographic, you can be the elephant that never forgets to exercise, or you can be the cheetah sprinting around the track. Just make sure to choose the role that fits you best.

Buy you a drank System of state control over liquor sales is ine∞cient, prone to corruption; privatization is the solution

he state of North Carolina should put the sale and distribution of liquor in the hands of the private sector. North Carolina is one of 18 “control states,” jurisdictions that directly control the sale and distribution of alcohol. In North Carolina, local Alcoholic Beverage Control boards manage the production and sale of liquor within the state. But some of these boards have recently come under heat for unscrupulous practices. Members of the ABC board in New Hanover County resigned after coming under pressure for inflated salaries.

L a t e l a s t y e a r, t h e Mecklenburg County board was accused of violating state law by accepting gifts from a liquor company. In response to these actions, the state ABC commission is considering reforms that include privatizing the sale of liquor. By eliminating the state monopoly on liquor, North Carolina’s liquor industry could become more efficient. The bureaucracy is simply too cumbersome and the possibility of corruption too great to justify itself. Moving to a market-based system would help solve this problem. Pryor Gibson, ABC com-

mittee vice chairman for the N.C. General Assembly, has said that the sheer size of the bureaucracy is its biggest problem. As it stands, more than 160 individual local boards operate a total of 411 liquor stores. Further, the monopolization of the distribution and sale of liquor by the state is no more than a puritanical remnant of prohibition-era policies that have little relevance to the present. North Carolina should withdraw from the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association and leave the sale and distribution of liquor to the private sector.

Problems with paper

Switching to paperless application will save money

f print isn’t dead, then it is certainly dying. It’s time the University went completely electronic with its admissions process. Each year the UNC admissions department sends out between 60,000 and 70,000 paper applications to prospective students. These high school seniors have not requested the documents, but by sending paper applications the University hopes to lure them to Chapel Hill. This mail blitz would be a nice ploy to improve the student body if it worked. But the problem with it is that it doesn’t. Last year, only 2 percent of the applications submitted were paper versions; the rest

were submitted through the University’s Web site. With such a low tally for the number of printed applications being submitted, the University is right to reevaluate its current strategy. Director of Undergraduate Admissions Stephen Farmer said that his office will study the idea of abandoning the paper application sent to every prospective student. The change could save the University around $30,000, Farmer said. It is time for such measures because the printed application has become all but obsolete. If UNC stops preemptively mailing applications, students without access to a computer will still be able to request a paper version.

The next logical step would be for the University to adopt the Common Application. The Common Application is a student’s one-step approach for applying to nearly 400 universities, including Harvard, Princeton and Yale. Rather than having to go through the mind-numbing forms and a myriad of essay questions on many applications, students using the Common Application only have to fill out one form and essay set along with a few supplementary questions for different schools. Farmer indicated that UNC might consider switching to the Common Application in the future. Let’s hope that time comes sooner than later.

Greek review to focus on Greeks, not administration

MLK day should remind us about equality fights

TO THE EDITOR: Your editorial, “Outside insight,” (Jan. 15) missed the point of the review of Greek life that we’ve asked Jordan Whichard to conduct. This is not about the University’s administration or the Division of Student Affairs of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. This is about the Greek system itself and our desire for it to be the best it can be. We want Carolina to have the best Greek system in the country and for that Greek system to promote excellence across the full spectrum of student life. I agree with you on one point, though: Whichard is an excellent person to take on this assignment. He’s an accomplished Carolina alumnus who believes strongly in the Greek experience. He will be consulting with a wide range of constituents — students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and administration — as well as exploring best practices at other universities. I have no doubt that we’ll benefit from his insight and recommendations for improvement. So help us get the word out. If you have ideas that you think will improve Greek life at Carolina, e-mail Mr. Whichard at greekreview@unc.edu.

TO THE EDITOR: In honor of the birth of Martin Luther King Jr., we should not just commemorate the life of King and celebrate his impact on our country, but we should also keep his passion and dream alive by expanding his legacy of social change into our 21st century. The Campus Y and MLK Week encourage everyone to come listen to Cleve Jones, founder of the AIDS Quilt, character in the movie “Milk” and LGBTQ rights activist, as he addresses how King’s dream of equality and civil rights applies to the LGBTQ community today. This event, “From MLK to MILK,” is open to everyone, and it will begin tonight at 7 p.m. in the Great Hall in the Student Union. No tickets are necessary. Come tonight to be a part of the movement working to create the “oasis of freedom and justice” of which Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed.

Privatizing liquor sales won’t lead to price hikes TO THE EDITOR: When I saw that the article about North Carolina liquor stores, “State considering alcohol reforms” (Jan. 15), was subtitled “Liquor prices could go up with privatization of sales,” I had a feeling that it would be biased and completely unsupported. As it stands, the only thing that the article even said about prices in relation to privatization was that they could change, failing even to support that statement. The way I understand it, monopolies (like the one that our state has on liquor sales) keep prices high while competition drives prices down. The article does admit that privatization would greatly increase the number of places that you can purchase liquor (increasing competition). Under what pretense does this correlate with an increase in the sales price of liquor? Absolutely nothing in the article backed up the bold words at the beginning of the story, which said “Liquor prices could go up with privatization of sales.” If you are going to make statements from left field, I would appreciate an attempt to support them, or at least conceal them in the body of the article. If you do have some facts that you mistakenly left out, I would love to hear them. I fear that this is just another example of biased writing in favor of big government, and the current abhorrent monopoly that the state has on our booze. Aaron Johnston Senior Environmental Science

Many ways to help Haiti earthquake relief effort TO THE EDITOR: In order to create a unified effort to assist the devastation in Haiti, the Gillings School of Global Public Health student government, the Minority Student Caucus, the Student Global Health Committee and Engineers Without Borders (along with many other School of Public Health student organizations) will be working with the Carolina community to respond to the disaster. We will be working closely with the Extended Disaster Relief group in the Campus Y, which is organizing a centralized collection of resources in the community. With approximately 1,700 students, including distance education students and those enrolled in certificate programs, the School of Public Health can create a large cohesive effort that can greatly impact those in need.

UNC alumnus dies in Haiti By Sarah Frier City Editor

One UNC alumnus was involved in relief long before the magnitude-7.0 earthquake hit Haiti on Jan. 12 and turned the world’s attention to a devastated country. Rev. Sam Dixon, the chief executive of the United Methodist Committee on Relief, died in the rubble of a collapsed hotel while he was at a conference to coordinate missionary work in Haiti. It was the last of many global outreach trips — from countries in Africa to Chile to former Soviet republics — during which he would connect with the impoverished, the hungry and the war-torn. “Sam could reach out and touch a child and just light up their life,” said Cashar Evans, a long-time worker in the United Methodist Church who considers Dixon a best friend. Optimistic and humorous, Dixon would relate with people in crisis through acts as simple as taking digital pictures and inspiring awe in children who had never seen that kind of technology, Evans said. And then Dixon, a pastor in North Carolina for 24 years, would come back to the United States and tell stories to congregations of peo-

ple who had never seen that kind of poverty. “He had the ability to transcend that setting back to the pulpit and tell and relate the story,” Evans said. “The people he talked to had no concept of what he was talking about when he started. Before he was finished, he had them committed to relief work.” Dixon is survived by his wife, four children and two grandchildren, as well as his mother and three sisters. The United Methodist Committee on Relief is an organization within the church that responds to international and domestic disasters. Paul Dirdak, who now develops pension programs internationally for the church, held the chief executive position before Dixon and hired him into the organization. “He had just a remarkable ability to empathize with people in cri-

sis and find ways to bring a certain amount of well-balanced joy while protecting their dignity,” Dirdak said. “He respected their situation while reminding us that things are not always as bad as they seem, and we can find ways to get through them.” Evans said Dixon was adaptable — he could warmly share stories with people in any economic or political situation. And Evans laughs while thinking of Dixon’s ability to check scores of UNC basketball or football games, no matter which country he was working in. Dixon was with a group of relief specialists who were pinned in rubble of the Hotel Montana in the capital of Port-au-Prince for more than 55 hours. Other members of the group survived and have returned to the U.S. Claire McKeown, pastor of Carrboro United Me thodis t Church, remembers working alongside Dixon. “Sam is someone of deep humility that he truly lived with his heart what he believed in his life,” she said. “He did that every single day.” MCT/Patrick Farrell

Students and Orange County residents have already begun fundraising to help victims of the catastrophic magnitude-7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti last week. Here are a few of many organizations and individuals around campus and Orange County who have dedicated themselves to helping Haitians in need.

WHAT SHE IS DOING

WHAT THEY ARE DOING

Chapel Hill resident Paulette Bekolo, originally from Haiti, is collecting money. She’s also collecting any donated first aid supplies.

Chapel Hill Comics owner Andrew Neal said he will match up to $500 in donations before 9 p.m. Wednesday.

WHERE DONATIONS GO

Hope For Haiti Visit hopeforhaiti.com or call Bekolo at (919) 610-2883 for more information about how to donate.

Doctors Without Borders Visit Chapel Hill Comics at 316 W. Franklin St. or call Andrew Neal at (919) 967-4439.

WHY SHE IS DOING IT Bekolo has family in Haiti, close to Port-au-Prince. “I got the call at 12:04 telling me my family was all OK,” she said. “I’ll never forget that minute. I just started crying.”

WHY THEY ARE DOING IT “A lot of people may think, ‘I only have a little bit of money, that won’t do any good,’” Neal said. “If they can throw it in a pile, every dollar they give ends up being two.”

WHAT THEY’RE DOING

Kirk Huslage, a nurse at UNC Hospitals, and his wife Erin McClain, a researcher at UNC, volunteered in Haiti. They are collecting health kits, blankets and tarps.

DSI Comedy Theater is working to raise $2,000. So far, they have raised $1,295, which includes all ticket sales from three of Saturday’s shows.

WHERE DONATIONS GO Hearts with Haiti. Visit the Web site, heartswithhaiti.org, to donate money directly. Contact them at haitiUNC@ gmail.com for ways to donate.

WHERE DONATIONS GO Mercy Corps Visit mercycorps.org/ fundraising/dsicomedy to donate to DSI Comedy’s Haiti Response Fundraiser.

UNC sophomore Lola Bajomo has started this initiative, which will organize campus leaders and organizations to make sure “no efforts are doubled,” she said.

WHERE DONATIONS GO Doctors Without Borders The initiative will have an interest meeting at 7 p.m. today tentatively set to be held at Manning Hall, Room 209.

WHY ARE THEY DOING IT

“It’s a country with an amazing culture and people who have, for so long, done so much with nothing,” McClain said. “Right now, the biggest need is really for cash. It’s being used for things like purchasing water filtration systems, basic supplies and transportation of supplies.”

“We have a pretty strong community of performers and regular audience members looking for ways to help,” he said. “This weekend we decided to help out the only way we know how: to put on a show.”

“I kind of notice whenever there is a disaster, a lot of people don’t really do anything besides go, ‘Aw, that’s really sad,’” she said. “You care on the human level, but as far as being active … a lot of people will leave things alone and after a couple months, people forget.”

National and World News Haiti continues to Obama asks Mass. residents to vote receive global help for a Democrat to replace Kennedy PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (MCT) — Doctors, troops, food, water, fuel, medicine and other humanitarian supplies continued to flow into Haiti on Monday, reaching more earthquake survivors and perhaps dissuading migrants from taking to the Florida Straits and heading to the United States. Navy Rear Adm. Michael Rogers, director of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a telephone conference call from the island that violence was not impeding search and rescue or humanitarian efforts to distribute food and supplies. “We have seen nothing to suggest to us widespread disorder,” Rogers said. He added that there were “isolated events” of tumultuous crowds at distribution points and some looting, but he emphasized that, “There’s nothing in the security environment right now that is significantly inhibiting our ability.” About 1,700 U.S. troops are on the ground in Haiti.

Senate to vote on new commission WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The Senate is expected to vote this week on a bold proposal to discipline federal spending, but it’s not expected to pass even though most members of Congress know that failure to act eventually will endanger the nation. The Senate is set to vote on whether to create a powerful bipartisan commission charged with making deficit-cutting recommendations right after this year’s midterm elections. If most commission members agree on a plan, Congress would have to take mandatory votes before Christmas on the commission’s recommendations. The recommendations are all but certain to be politically toxic solutions to raise taxes, cut spending or change benefit terms for popular programs such as Social Security.

BOSTON (MCT) — President Barack Obama put it right on the line Sunday for the people of Massachusetts — the entire Democratic agenda ranging from expanded health care to fighting big banks might rest on whether they vote today to send a Democrat to fill out the late Sen. Edward Kennedy’s unexpired term. “On Tuesday, you have the unique and special responsibility to fill the Senate seat you sent Ted Kennedy to fill for nearly

47 years,” he said in a rally for Martha Coakley, the Democratic candidate in the special election and the state’s attorney general. Obama noted Kennedy’s lifelong support for legislation aimed at helping working people and said Coakley would help keep that agenda alive. By contrast, he noted, the Republican candidate, state Sen. Scott Brown, would shift the balance of power in the Senate against the Democrats and their agenda.

Taliban attacks Kabul as U.S. and Britain discuss political settlements GARDEZ, Afghanistan (MCT) — Seven Taliban attackers, including a suicide bomber driving an ambulance, hit the center of Kabul on Monday morning, killing five people, wounding at least 71 and demonstrating their ability to strike at the hub of the U.S.backed Afghan government. Gen. Abdul Ghafar Sayed Zada, the head of the criminal investigative division of Kabul’s police department, said security forces had shot five of the attackers, who

were armed with AK-47 rifles, rocket launchers and grenades, not far from President Hamid Karzai’s palace, the Ministry of Justice and the Central Bank in Afghanistan’s capital. The Taliban claimed credit for the attacks, which came as Karzai is dueling with parliament over Cabinet appointments and as U.S., British and other officials explore possible paths toward a political settlement in Afghanistan.

Health care bill fails to protect campuses By Emily Stephenson senior writer

Health care overhaul legislation passed last month by the U.S. Senate lacks protections that allow colleges and universities to offer more affordable student insurance plans, several prominent education groups announced last week. The House of Representatives’ version of health legislation, which passed in November, would continue to treat campus health plans as group plans instead of individual plans, which keeps premiums lower for students. The American Council on Education, the American College Health Association and other groups sent letters to congressional leaders arguing for similar language in the final bill. The Senate version does not have the same protections for campus plans. “Increased student health insur-

ance premiums would add to the total costs students pay to attend college,” states a Jan. 8 letter signed by American Council on Education President Molly Corbett Broad. “This is counterproductive to the significant actions Congress and the administration have taken to make both higher education and health care more affordable.” The groups asked that the final bill — which legislators are drafting now — include the House’s language. The Senate bill, which passed on a roughly party-line Dec. 24 vote, only states that it wouldn’t block colleges and universities from offering plans. “The Senate has some language; we’d like to see that clarified,” said Mary Hoban, who works with the American College Health Association’s advocacy group. Hoban said Thursday that her

group hadn’t received a response. “We’ll do some follow-up and see if we can’t get somebody’s attention,” she said. Mary Covington, executive director for Campus Health Services at UNC-Chapel Hill, said in an e-mail that she thinks the omission from the Senate bill was an oversight that should be resolved. “There needs to be language in the bill that recognizes plans offered by the University as group plans rather than individual plans,” Covington said. About 1,750 undergraduates are enrolled in UNC-CH’s campus plan, offered through Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina. The UNC system is finalizing a uniform insurance plan that will be offered on all of its campuses next fall. Contact the State & National editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

Heath among seven Tar UNC falls in tourney ﬁnals Heels selected in draft By Mark Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

By Jonathan Jones Assistant SPorts Editor

When Atlanta Beat head coach Gareth O’Sullivan sat in the press box of the North Carolina women’s soccer match against UCLA, he had his eye on a Tar Heel for his No. 1 draft pick. O’Sullivan and the Beat chose UNC senior midfielder Tobin Heath with the first choice Friday in the 2010 Women’s Professional Soccer Draft. Heath was among seven Tar Heels drafted into the second-year league — the most of any school. “She’ll be a wonderful pro from every perspective,” UNC coach Anson Dorrance said. “She’s the kind of player that people pay money to watch. She’s very clever with the ball, and she has some tremendous creativity.” Heath, a three-time All-American and Olympic gold medalist, is the first choice in the history of the Beat’s franchise, which begins its inaugural season in April. But Heath was just the tip of the iceberg for the national champions in the nine-team draft.

Maryland’s Lori Bjork drained a 3-pointer to give her team a onepoint lead. And led by the hot hand of Bjork, who finished with 18 points, Maryland rallied to a 33-33 tie heading into halftime. At that juncture, Hatchell approached her veterans. “I really challenged Italee and Cetera to carry the team,” she said. “They’re juniors, but they’ve got to

But for all of Shumpert’s points, a key UNC mistake down the stretch opened the door for Peacock’s game-winner. With UNC up one with just

“She’ll be a wonderful pro from every perspective. She’s the kind of player that people pay money to watch.” Anson Dorrance, UNC head coach on former player Tobin Heath “We were blown away,” Dorrance said. “Not only the number was exciting for us, but where they were drafted, that’s absolutely incredible.” The Chicago Red Stars nabbed senior defender Whitney Engen with the fourth overall pick. Engen anchored a UNC defense that allowed 12 goals last season. Nikki Washington and Casey Nogueira were selected fifth and eighth respectively by the Los Angeles Sol. Washington tore her ACL in September and missed nearly the entire 2009 season. Nogueira led the team in goals this year but was the fourth Tar Heel taken. The teammates will take to the pitch playing alongside Marta, three-time World Player of the Year. “They’re excited to go out there and play,” Dorrance said. “I think be the leaders of our team.” With 7:49 remaining in the game, the Terrapins had just scored 10 unanswered points. And Degraffenreid and Lucas answered their coach’s call. With UNC clinging to a twopoint lead, DeGraffenreid went coast-to-coast for an open layup. On the next possession, Lucas dove for a loose ball, passing it to DeGraffenreid for another layup. Bolstered by a revitalized backcourt, UNC continued to extend its lead. more than a minute remaining, Drew couldn’t get open on an inbounds pass and the ball instead was thrown to forward Ed Davis. Davis was immediately double teamed, and he couldn’t find an open teammate before being tied up for a jump ball. The Yellow Jackets scored the next possession to regain the lead. “I didn’t go backcourt, and that was something I should have done,” Drew said. “That probably would have freed up Ed a little bit more. “I stayed in the halfcourt and

While Grabinski and Marand lost in the finals, another Tar Heel tandem won the consolation doubles final. In that match, senior Katrina Tsang and sophomore Shinann Featherston knocked off an Oregon team, 8-2. Tsang also lost in the singles final while Featherston won the singles consolation final.

Marta will raise the level of both players, and seeing how Marta plays out there and how aggressively she pursues her craft will help them.” In the second round, the Red Stars grabbed UNC junior Jessica McDonald while Ashlyn Harris, who went to St. Louis Athletica, was the second goalkeeper picked in the draft. Senior defender Kristi Eveland was taken by the Washington Freedom in the fourth round. “The reputation of the kind of athlete that graduates from North from page 12 Carolina is very disciplined, fit, the lane, bounced off a Terrapin competitive and basically a windefender and heaved in a contested ner,” Dorrance said. “Now the attilayup while getting fouled. tude of every GM in the league is to Nearly seven minutes later, with get Tar Heels on their roster.” UNC squeaking by in a 54-52 ball game, DeGraffenreid stole a pass Contact the Sports Editor and raced down the court for a at sports@unc.edu. coast-to-coast layup.

Degraffenreid Graves from page 12

The redshirt junior has had a lot of time in Williams’ doghouse. Graves spent last year’s championship run riding the bench after being suspended for an unnamed infraction in February. His wide smile, which pops up on his face after almost every play, good or bad, has raised doubts about his attitude. But on a team that’s going through a confidence crisis, Graves’ everpresent willingness to shoot was a good thing against Georgia Tech. After a dismal first half by the Tar Heels, Graves was the glue that kept the offense going at a fast pace. The forward was 5-for-7 on 3-pointers after halftime, though he didn’t always take the first look he got. Once, Graves pump-faked twice before throwing it to Deon Thompson for an open jumper. Later, with the score 61-63, he passed up a decent look from the 3-point line only to get a better one moments later and take the lead. His 22 second-half points made up just more than half the team’s total for the period. And the only time he went to the bench, Georgia Tech went on an 8-0 run. Graves also did the little things for UNC. He turned the ball over just once, had seven rebounds and went 7-for-8 from the line. But a loss is a loss, and that certainly wasn’t something Graves tried to gloss over.

not aggressive, we’re not showing a sense of urgency. I mean, I feel like we’re all good players, and it’s just a matter of time, but it’s not going to happen until you show enthusiasm and give great effort.” With North Carolina losing two in a row and three out of the last four, Graves’ outstanding effort and the hope that he can become a leader on the court may be the best thing the Tar Heels have going for them. Thompson is more vocal than in years before, and he retains the optimism of a veteran. But he was never the star of past teams, and this season has shown some inconsistency. And for all the good esteem reaped on him by Williams over the years, Marcus Ginyard shows signs of lost confidence — and not just from his ankle injury. He doesn’t look for his shot. After the game, he talks quietly and aimlessly. When one reporter asked Williams how much pain the fifth-year senior was playing with, the coach said, “Mentally or physically?” Graves may be the opposite. After his career day, the 6-foot-6 forward was stopped by a small crowd outside the Smith Center, and he beamed while posing for pictures. Graves is healthy, he’s having the best year of his career and he’s hungry to establish success of his own. Maybe most importantly for the slumping Tar Heels, that smile — and the confidence that lies behind it — isn’t going anywhere. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Post play sends UNC past Terps Shegog tallies 17 points in ACC win

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Maryland UNC

64 75

By Anna Kim senior writer

With her team coming off two consecutive road losses, North Carolina women’s basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell decided it was time for some changes. She tried shuffles in the lineup and what her team jokingly called 24 hours of practice. “When you lose, you have to keep changing things until you find something that works,” Hatchell said. In a 75-64 win against Maryland (144, 2-2 ACC), the team found one thing that did. Chay Shegog in the post. When Hatchell called for a set offense, the sophomore forward knew that meant only one thing. “We wanted to get the ball inside more,” Shegog said. “Score. Draw fouls. Limit the other team. I took it and ran with it.” Shegog, who finished with 17 points and seven rebounds, helped the Tar Heels (14-3, 2-1) dominate possession and jump out to an early 18-7 lead in the first half. During that run, Shegog scored eight of North Carolina’s points. “Chay again had a good game,” Hatchell said. “She helped us make some big baskets when we needed to.” The sophomore’s offense also compensated for a void left by the team’s two leading scorers, guards Italee Lucas and Cetera DeGraffenreid. Both were held scoreless in the first half before recovering in the second half, with Lucas breaking out with 12 points. “ T he team does need me and (DeGraffenreid) to step up on offense,” Lucas said. “I have to help more than on defense. That’s the bottom line.”

Chay Shegog grabbed seven rebounds, including three offensive boards, while dominating the paint in North Carolina’s 75-64 win against Maryland. DeGraffenreid did not start in Sunday’s game, the first time she hasn’t since North Carolina played WinstonSalem State on Jan. 2. “I’m just trying to find the right ones that can get the job done,” Hatchell said. “We might get other starters.” Youth and inexperience have resulted in nine different starting lineups early in the season, Hatchell said. For some time, it looked as if Shegog’s 17 points, which tied a career-high, would not be enough. With 2:23 remaining in the first half,

Georgia Tech guard Iman Shumpert torched UNC’s defense for a career-high 30 points in the Yellow Jackets’ 73-71 win Saturday against North Carolina. Shumpert’s scoring outburst helped send the Tar Heels to their second straight ACC defeat.

Crisis of Confidence

By David Reynolds sports Editor

For the second straight game, No. 24 North Carolina couldn’t escape from a flat first-half performance. Just like in the opening minutes of its sloppy loss to Clemson, UNC provided little resistance on the defensive and offensive ends in its 73-71 loss to No. 19 Georgia Tech (13-4, 2-2 ACC). The Yellow Jackets built up a 20-point lead before twelve minutes had elapsed on the game clock. “We were so tentative and tight early on it was unbelievable,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. “I tried to give them confidence, and that’s hard to do, but it was unusual basketball playing for us in the first half.” The Tar Heels (12-6, 1-2) did rally from the deficit — even notching a two-point lead in the game’s final minutes. But the comeback attempt crumbled when Georgia Tech’s Zachery Peacock rattled in a goahead shot with 28 seconds left to put his

team up 72-71. UNC point guard Larry Drew II missed a driving, off-balance layup on the other end, and forward Travis Wear’s attempted tip-in bounced squarely off the front of the rim. “We came down, and Larry had a contested layup and a tip,” Williams said. “We would have liked to have gotten a better one, there’s no question about that.” Ga. Tech’s Brian Oliver secured the rebound after Wear’s miss, and the Yellow Jackets managed to pass it around for nearly 10 seconds before Drew finally could track down a player to foul to stop the clock with 3.4 seconds left. That didn’t give enough time for UNC to create a quality shot in the final seconds, as a desperate 40-foot attempt by Will Graves didn’t come close to its intended target. The loss spoiled the highest scoring out-

put of Graves’ career. The redshirt junior erupted for 24 points to lead UNC, but he was upstaged by Georgia Tech guard Iman Shumpert, who put up a career-high himself. Shumpert continued UNC’s defensive struggles against slashing perimeter players as he poured in 30 points to pace the Yellow Jackets. Nothing could slow down the sophomore Saturday afternoon, whether it be a UNC defender or his lingering knee injury that arthroscopic knee surgery in December tried to rectify. Shumpert scored in double figures in both halves, registering 17 before intermission. “He’s getting healthy. The knee injury robbed him of some flow, if you will. He wasn’t really playing fluid basketball,” Ga. Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. “I probably played him more than I wanted, but we

groove, but UNC can’t By Joe McLean senior Writer

Despite hitting five 3-pointers during the second half, redshirt junior Will Graves couldn’t bring UNC a victory. He finished with a career-high 24 points.

Will Graves fell one shot short of having the game of his life on Saturday. He had a career-high 24 points — the most he’d scored since winning the 3A N.C. high school state title four years ago, also in the Smith Center. But his long miss from near midcourt at the buzzer left North Carolina just shy of a win. “I told Will he was big time in the second half. I’m very proud of him,” coach Roy Williams said. “I’ve been on his case for years, and deservedly so.”

Ten days ago against Connecticut, North Carolina point guard Cetera DeGraffenreid managed four points on 14 percent shooting. Five days later against Virginia Tech, she tallied five points — though her field goal percentage dwindled to nine percent. And in Sunday’s first half against Maryland, her totals diminished even more. She attempted four shots, made none and left the court with zero points. In fact, the junior had made only two of 22 shots in the last five halves. Coach Sylvia Hatchell had seen enough. “At halftime, I had the one-on-one with her,” Hatchell said. “I said, ‘Tia, you have started for three years on a team that has been ranked top 10. Lots of times, top five.

‘You are an All-American guard. This is your team. Put them on your back.’” Having started 74 of 87 games during her three-year college career prior to the Maryland matchup, it seemed DeGraffenreid would have a chance to make amends almost immediately. Instead, though, the guard found herself sitting next to assistant coach Andrew Calder on the bench. “Cetera did not play well the past two games, and that’s why She’la (White) started,” Hatchell said. “I was just trying to challenge her and get her to step up and be aggressive and assertive.” Three minutes into the second half, Hatchell gave DeGraffenreid that chance. The junior made sure not to waste it. At the 14:45 mark, DeGraffenreid showed a pulse, as she dribbled into
