Preparing the perfect pumpkin Agents
by Katie Barbee
staff writer
Whether you’re looking to carve a
frightening ghost, an elaborate UNC
logo or just the traditional grinning
Jack, local experts gave a few tips to
help make this year’s pumpkin carving
experience the best yet.
How and where to find the
perfect pumpkin to carve
When it comes to carving, there
are a few specific qualities necessary
to look for in a pumpkin, area farm-
ers said.
Milton Ganyard, who owns Ganyard
Hill Farm in Durham, said he suggests
the jack-o’-lantern breed of pumpkin
for optimal carving.
“The shell is not as thick, so they’re
easier to carve than, say, a pie pump-
kin, which tends to have a harder,
thicker shell,” he said. “You want to
have a larger area to do all your cut-
ting in.”
Russell Vollmer, a farmer at Vollmer
Farm in Franklin County, said there
are various types of pumpkins grown
locally, and some are better than oth-
ers.
“What we have here are Aladdin,
Magic Lantern and Gladiator — those
are the main types that people use for
carving,” he said.
“The most important thing is you
got to have a pumpkin that has some-
what of a flat bottom.
“And the better pumpkins have a
stem, so you can grab it once you cut
it out.”
Different types of carving pumpkins
can be found in local grocery stores,
said Brandon Dudley, assistant pro-
duce manager at the Harris Teeter in
Carrboro.
What special tools are best for
pumpkin carving?
Local farmers said there are certain
tools that make good pumpkin carving
cleaner and easier.
“There’s a tool, kind of like a knife,
which has a smaller, narrower blade,”
Ganyard said. “It’s serrated and has a
nice point on it made for that particu-
lar purpose.”
Vollmer suggested buying a special
carving kit, which may be the best way
to go for some. But standard kitchen
utensils can also get the job done, he
said.
“You can use a bigger knife to cut the
big chunks, then go to a smaller one,
and you can use a big spoon to scoop

Downtown plan to be revised New ticket policy chosen by vote

staff writer
With the formation of a down-
town development plan drawing
to a close, town officials will meet
Wednesday to review public com-
ment and adjust it accordingly
before the project’s next draft is
released.
After creating a Downtown
Small Area Plan in 2000, the
Chapel Hill Town Council decid-
ed to make a new Downtown
Master Plan last year and hired
KlingStubbins, a design firm with
offices in Raleigh, to outline the
plan’s framework.
Economic Development Officer
Dwight Bassett said a plan like
this, which includes creating new
streets, a transit center, new cross-
ways and walkways, is necessary
because Chapel Hill will eventually
become a city.
“When we look at Chapel Hill’s
population model, we never spent
time thinking about ourselves dif-
ferently, so we haven’t defined edges
of neighborhoods in a lot of places,”
Bassett said. “This time we did that
so that we can do a better job.”
In addition, the plan will con-

the northern and southern bound-
aries of downtown.
“Look at the existing zoning
map on Rosemary, the boundary
of downtown is kind of zig-zag and
mid-block,” Bassett said. “I think a
very strong component of the plan
is defining it so that developers
and the people who want to invest
in our community know that this
is downtown.”
But Bassett said some are wor-
ried new streets could compromise
the historic boundaries between
neighborhoods and downtown.
To lessen the impact the new
plan will have on neighborhoods
like the Cameron Street and
McCauley Street areas, project
officials have met with neighbors,
community groups, property own-
ers and art community members.
“We are trying to reach every-
one we can,” KlingStubbins Project
Director Dan Douglas said. “And so
far the comments have been good.”

dent of Chapel Hill since 1969 and
said he supports the general idea of

ty, transportation and parking.
“The focus right now should be
getting input from the citizens of
the town,” Jefferson said.
The plan’s proposed transit cen-
ter is an area of concern for some,
since so many residents rely on
Chapel Hill Transit.
The center would move most
buses off Columbia Street in an
effort to improve downtown traf-
fic, Bassett said.
“As long as we can still make these
turns without affecting the time
amount it takes to stop and pick up
passengers, a single access point for
transit service in downtown is a key
component,” Bassett said.
But UNC senior Sophie
McMillian said she is not a big fan
of the proposed transit center.

Two tickets per person and
fewer phases are all part of this
year’s new basketball ticket policy.
Results from an online sur-
vey conducted last month by the
Carolina Athletic Association
indicated that the two-ticket-per-
student general admission policy
has student support. It won by
1,140 votes.
Students received an e-mail
Thursday from the UNC Athletic
Ticket Office, which announced
the policy for the 2010-11 men’s
basketball season.
Of the 5,561 students who took
the survey, 47 percent voted for the
winning ticket policy.
The other options included two-
tickets-per-student with reserved
seating and a one-ticket-per-student
policy with a group option. The one-
ticket-per-student policy option
received the fewest votes — account-
ing for 11.5 percent of the vote.

records
Former player Chris
Hawkins gave benefits
By Sara Gregory
Senior writer
New records from UNC name three people
who provided illegal benefits to football play-
ers, including a representative from one of the
nation’s largest sports agencies.
The individuals — Chris Hawkins, Michael
Katz and Todd Stewart — are named in five
reinstatement letters the University submitted
to the NCAA. The letters give new insight into
the extent to which UNC players violated rules
prohibiting gifts and monetary benefits.
The records were provided to The Daily Tar
Heel after several weeks of requests. UNC pre-
viously said it would not release the names of
the agents, citing a federal student privacy law.
The reinstatement letters are heavily
redacted to protect the student-athletes’ iden-
tities. They do not include dates indicating
when they were sent to the NCAA, and, in
some cases, nearly entire pages are redacted.
The most-mentioned figure in the rein-
statement letters is Hawkins, a former UNC
player from 2001-03. Hawkins was dismissed
from the team his senior year, but lives in
Durham at another former player’s home.
Hawkins is mentioned in three of the five
letters, which describe friendly relations with
players that began before their freshman years.
He was introduced as a “good guy” who would
look out for the players, the letters say.
UNC believes Hawkins provided benefits,
set up meetings between players, financial
advisers and agents, offered to purchase gear
from players and told agents that he represent-
ed some UNC players, according to an Oct. 4
letter from athletic director Dick Baddour.
The Oct. 4 letter to Hawkins bans him from
UNC athletic facilities and instructs him to
cease all contact with current or potential stu-
dent-athletes for a minimum of five years.
Two of the letters reference Michael Katz
as providing wristbands for admittance to a
pool party. Katz works as director of market-
ing and client services for Rosenhaus Sports,
a Miami Beach-based agency that represents
a number of high-profile NFL clients.
In an interview with the Associated Press,
Drew Rosenhaus denied Katz provided bene-
fits to players and said the report was “false.”
The last person referenced in the letters is

Crayton said Mission Health
System has committed $7 mil-
lion to establish a center at the
Asheville campus. At the Charlotte
campus, Carolinas HealthCare
System will spend $4 million to
renovate facilities.
She said UNC-CH will also
shoulder some costs by educating
students for the first few years.
“Having been admitted into the
School of Medicine, UNC (Chapel
Hill) is incurring some costs there,
and then when students go to
Asheville or Charlotte, that’s when
those campuses begin to absorb
costs,” Crayton said.
The cost of the expansion is not
going to be addressed as an issue in
faculty,” she said.
So far, McCall said, the plan for
expansion has received positive
feedback from the students already
at Asheville and Charlotte.
“Not only are the students very
happy, but they are testing very well
with this curriculum,” she said.
The expansion could also have a
positive effect on UNC-CH’s repu-
tation, she said.
“It is a very well-known school
of medicine now. There is a new
specialization in areas that we are
already strong in, and we are also
meeting the needs of the state,
which is one of our primary mis-
sions,” McCall said.

Standards could
hurt economy
by daniel wiser
staff writer
A North Carolina environmental
agency fears new national air qual-
ity standards might impede upon
an economy that is still struggling
to recover.
T h i s m o n t h t h e U. S .
Environmental Protection Agency
was expected to announce stricter
standards for smog, also known as
ground-level ozone.
But the N.C. Depar tment
of Environment and Natural
Resources’ Division of Air Quality
recommended in March that the
EPA defer taking action on low-
ering ozone standards to pre-
vent state residents from losing
their jobs, health insurance and
homes.
“We are urging the EPA to
look at the big picture,” said Tom
Mather, public information officer
for the division.
“The effect on the economy is
also an important effect to con-
sider.”
In lowering the standards this
time around, the focus is going to
be on small business.
“In the past, we’ve targeted big-
ger emitters like power plants, but
there’s only so much more we can
get from that sector,” he said.
Mather said smaller businesses,
which are already struggling, will
have difficulty purchasing several
million dollars in new equipment
to curb emissions.
“This regulation will make it
very challenging for new busi-
ness and industry to be permit-
ted and for existing companies
to expand,” Erin Culbert, spokes-
woman for Duke Energy, stated in
an e-mail.
The crippling effect on busi-
nesses might lead to more layoffs in
the state, which could hurt North
Carolina’s already high unemploy-

DEADLINE PRESSURE
Advisers see crowds on last day to drop classes
by Haley Sklut
staff writer
Five weeks ago, Ravi Patel knew what he
was going to do.
But he waited until Oct. 15 to do it.
“I told myself if I do badly on the exam, I
would drop the course,” Patel said.
Patel, who arrived at the Steele Building
early on the morning of Oct. 15, said he had a
short wait — but the line behind him piled up
quickly. Three days later, on the Oct. 18 dead-
line to drop or declare a class pass/D+/D/fail,
more than 1,300 others lined the halls to do
the same.
And though that total was not drastically
different from previous years, it did mean
more stress for a smaller staff in the advis-
ing office.
“It was organized chaos,” said academic
adviser Andre’ Wesson, who was surprised at
the number of students that came in on the
last day because students have been attend-
ing walk-in hours since September.
This year, some advisers left for other jobs,
and the advising program lost a staff position
and had to hold back another adviser posi-
tion due to budget cuts, said Marilyn Wyrick,
the office’s senior assistant dean.
The office is now in the hiring process to
replace those advisers who left and to fill the
opened adviser position.
The adviser-to-student ratio is still high,
despite the losses.
Although this made Oct. 18 harder for the
advisers, they knew what to expect.
All 19 full-time advisers worked that day,
along with some part-time faculty members,
Wyrick said. The department held all-day
walk-in hours.
Wyrick said students tended to come in
clumps, when classes ended. She said the
average waiting time ranged from 10 to 15
minutes.
Students and advisers were in agreement
that the timing was ideal. The deadline was
shortly after midterms, so students could see
their early grades before deciding to drop a
class or pursue the pass/fail route.
After receiving his midterm results, fresh-
man Sakib Huq dropped his biology lab on
Oct. 18 because he did not have as much time
to dedicate to it as he wanted.
“I’ll probably take it next semester,” he
said.
Most of the students dropped courses,
with only about 10 percent seeking pass/
D+/D/fail declarations, Wyrick said.
They were mostly seniors, she said, who
just needed more hours to graduate.
“It felt busier this year,” Wyrick said.

These include guest passes and a

said he would update the Twitter

be encouraged to come to the game
knowing seats were still available.
Idol said the new guest pass pol-

chase guest passes for family and
friends — has direct advantages for
graduate students, who often want
to bring family members to games.
The guest passes are limited and
the amount available is dependent
on the game’s popularity, Idol said.
The guest passes went on sale
Oct. 21 at 6 p.m. and range from
$25 to $50 per ticket. The guest

Idol said current students were
not likely to be displaced from

“When you’re carving, you want

Ganyard said a jack-o’-lantern

on the weather.
Rather than throwing out the
insides of a carved pumpkin, Vollmer
suggested roasting the seeds.
“You can make some with butter
and brown sugar, and of course you
can always spray on a little bit of
olive oil and salt them,” he said.
He also said it’s not too early to
look ahead to the next holiday.
“This is also the opportunity for

room? It’s
a law of
nature
I
f you’re like me, this is about
the time of the semester that
schoolwork starts gnawing
away at every last second of your
free time. Your workload keeps
you up through all hours of the
night, at the expense of things
like your friends, nutritional
needs and especially cleanliness.
In fact, the gradual transforma-
tion of our rooms from com-
fortable dens to refugee camps
toward the end of the semester is
a pretty good analogy for one of
the most fundamental and com-
prehensive laws of nature — the
second law of thermodynamics.
This law basically states that
certain properties of matter —
temperature, pressure and dis-
tribution of particles — tend to
become more even and uniform
over time. This is quantified by
defining what’s called the entropy
of a system. A basic, intuitive
definition is that entropy is
proportional to the amount of
“disorder.” The second law of
thermodynamics can be restated
as “the entropy of a closed system
never decreases.” That is, left
alone, things only get more and
more disorderly.
So, if you think of the objects
in your room, you can imagine
that the second law of thermo-
dynamics would say you’re far
more likely to find them strewn
all over the floor than neatly put
away like they should be; and
of course, that’s exactly what we
observe. Strictly speaking, the
piles of clothes all over your floor
aren’t an example of thermo-
dynamic equilibrium, but they
do tend to operate on the same
principle.
Another way of looking at
it is, oddly enough, in terms of
poker hands. Imagine that the
air molecules in a room are play-
ing cards. When you first open a
brand new deck, you can deal two
consecutive straight flushes right
off the top, since the cards are all
in order. This is analogous to all
of the air in a room being only
in one small corner — extremely
unlikely to happen under normal
conditions. In fact, the second law
of thermodynamics is exactly the
reason why we don’t have to worry
about suffocating every time we
walk into a room due to the lack
of an even distribution of air.
As you shuffle the deck many
times, you start to get a more and
more disorderly arrangement of
cards, and thus would deal most-
ly ordinary (or if you’re dealing to
me, mostly terrible) poker hands.
Similarly, as air molecules are
free to move around a room, they
tend to arrange themselves to be
evenly spread out. The difference
is, royal flushes actually hap-
pen on occasion. The enormous
number of air molecules in an
average room — on the order of
an octillion (that’s a one followed
by twenty-seven zeroes) — makes
the probability that you’ll find
them all in the same corner basi-
cally negligible.
The second law of thermody-
namics also applies to the uni-
verse as a whole. In fact, one of
the ways by which we can define
which “direction” we are moving
in time is the direction in which
the entire universe becomes more
and more disorderly. So, if you
ever find that your room is grad-
ually cleaning itself, don’t panic,
but you’re probably going back-
wards in time. This fact should
be pretty comforting, actually;
just remind yourself that clean-
ing your room would only upset
the natural disorder of the uni-
verse, and all of a sudden you
have a lot more time to study.

Online not the answer
Expanded online course o≠erings are beneficial,
but not the answer to all problems
T
he UNC system Board
of Governors wants to
expand online and dis-
tance learning class offerings
at N.C. public universities.
Expanding choices for stu-
dents is always a good idea,
but in the wake of budget
cuts, taking learning out of the
classroom is not the panacea
to the UNC system’s financial
woes.
We understand that bud-
gets are getting cut every-
where. New classroom build-
ings are not really an option
in a poor economy when new
capital projects just don’t
make sense. Putting classes
online is a way to continue to
meet the need without facil-
ity costs.
However, the BOG seems
to be envisioning a world in
which online programs are

program, Sakai.
On Oct. 18, the Information
Technology Executive Steering
Committee decided to begin the
three-year transition from the
current Blackboard to Sakai.
Students have already tested
the new program through the
Sakai Pilot Study, which started
in fall 2008 with 18 courses.
Sakai does have some advan-
tages over Blackboard. Sakai is
open-source software, meaning
that its software can be modified
to a site administrator’s liking.
Sakai benefits UNC’s budget.
Because Sakai is open-source,
it carries no licensing costs.
Grad students need voice

G
raduate students at
UNC have a lot on
their plate. They are
forced to balance paying for
school, teaching classes, writ-
ing dissertations and lobbying
for department funding, all on
top of taking strenuous classes.
But graduate students should
take the upcoming election as
an opportunity to do their part
in student government.
Student Congress may seem
too narrowly focused on under-
graduate issues, but that is pre-
cisely the reason graduate stu-
dents need to have their say.
The students also have a
responsibility to represent their
constituents and serve their

traditional classroom experi-
ence.
This could not be further
from the truth.
Online classes might give
both traditional and non-tradi-
tional students more flexibility,
but they are no substitute for
the classroom experience. The
only way to get real face-to-
face discussion with peers and
professors is through in-person
classes.
Furthermore, online classes
actually cost full-time students
more money. Financially, it
doesn’t make sense for most
full-time students who would
usually attend all of their
classes on campus to enroll
online.
If a student is paying tuition
and taking 12 credit hours on
campus they can’t just sign up
for an online class without pay-
ing more.
The new system will cost UNC
$332,000 annually, as opposed
to $620,000 for Blackboard.
Students also have the free-
dom to blog or create a wiki —
a web page created by the user
that can be viewed publicly.
The user also has a profile,
which looks like a stripped-down
version of Facebook. Students
can enter personal information,
post statuses, and make “con-
nections” with other users.
When students already have a
Facebook, it adds little to Sakai’s
value.
But Blackboard has been criti-
cized for its static, academic-only
use, so Sakai will offer the flex-
ibility that Blackboard lacks.
Being more user-friendly
and a fraction of the cost of
ed in just the first ten weeks
of school to fill vacant seats
means the graduate student
community has to step up.
Two special elections have
not been scheduled this close
together since 2006.
Because approximately one-
third of students at UNC are
graduate students, the student
body’s Constitution requires
that a proportionate amount
of graduate students are rep-
resented in Student Congress.
Of the six leadership positions
in the Congress, two of them are
held by graduate students.
But of the six vacant seats in
the upcoming election, five of
them are reserved for graduate
students.
Many of the vacancies were
created by students who felt

Most online classes are not
included in regular tuition
and students who take them
must pay additional tuition.
So even if a student is paying
for 15 credit hours and taking
15 credit hours, if three of them
are online there will be an extra
charge.
This puts students in the
position where they are essen-
tially paying for the same class
twice. If the BOG wants to use
online classes as a way to deal
with the lack of space, one way
they could start is by eliminat-
ing the extra tuition charge for
online classes.
Online classes can be a
meaningful part of the educa-
tional process, but they are not
the solution to dealing with
budget cuts. Moving more
classes online is a palliative
measure and not a long-term
fix.
Blackboard, Sakai is the better
option.
Users who are expecting
Sakai to be a drastic improve-
ment from Blackboard might
be disappointed.
Other than catering to a
user’s social tendencies, Sakai’s
interface mirrors Blackboard.
Its layout and color scheme
are even reminiscent of the
Blackboard program used
today.
Still, UNC’s decision to tran-
sition to Sakai is a welcome
move. Faculty should add value
by making the most use of the
site’s functions.

they could not manage the time

ing in the body.
We understand that graduate
students have different priori-
ties and that Student Congress
is generally catered to under-
graduates. Most graduate stu-
dents live off campus and many
have part-time jobs or families.
But graduate students are
significant members of the
UNC community. They use
many of the same services as
undergraduates and many
graduates have issues that need
to be met by the student gov-
ernment.
Graduate students should do
all they can to serve in student
government, to ensure that
their needs are proportionally
represented.

Dining halls should offer
healthier menu options
TO THE EDITOR:
The dining options in Rams
Head and Top of Lenoir have
room for improvement. I find
myself annoyed by the lack of
healthy food options provided to
me, considering UNC prides itself
on healthy living. Too often I see
cheeseburgers, French fries, pizza
and sweets in the dining halls. I
am not saying that health food
accommodations have not been
made (Subway, the salad bar); I
just feel that more can be done to
improve healthy food selection. I
frequently find myself frustrated
because I am paying for an unlim-
ited meal plan and my desire for
consistent, tasty and healthy foods
is never met. Taking suggestions
from students, simply converting
more resources toward healthy
food choices and limiting the
frequency of junk food on the
menu are effective steps that can
be taken to ensure more healthy
options are provided to our stu-
dent body.

time habits form — especially

UNC needs a mandatory
stress management class
TO THE EDITOR:
The increased workload in
college compared to high school,
pressure to get good grades, home-
sickness, new eating routines and
new relations make the first peri-
od in college very stressful. We all
have experienced some of the early
signs of stress. Some examples are
muscle tension, headache, stom-
ach ache, concentration difficulty,
nervousness and anxiety. In the
long run, however, abnormal
stress can cause digestive disease,
high blood pressure, cancer and
depression. Stress is not always
a bad thing, though. Increased
stress increases productivity up
to a point. After that point more
stress will cause problems.
Campus Health Services has a
Counseling and Wellness Service
that provides stress manage-
ment education. According to
the National Institute of Mental
Health, though, many students
never seek help within our insti-
tutions for this kind of problem.
Therefore, UNC should have a
one-time compulsory 2-hour semi-
nar where students are introduced
to stress management. This would
give students a better understand-
ing of stress and how to deal with
it, which is very important both
for our performance in school and
our well-being.

Voter apathy and special
interests harm democracy
TO THE EDITOR:
Voter apathy is the number
one enemy of democracy.
At the present time, the sec-
ond enemy of democracy is
unbridled corporate and spe-
cial interest money flooding our
political system to unfairly influ-
ence, manipulate, and, through
corporate-owned media, dis-
seminate disinformation. This
corrupts the choice of the people
against their own collective good,
and is completely to the benefit
of the powerful interests.
Voter apathy is destructive
to the rights of individuals. An
ill-informed, unquestioning
and manipulated voter serves
to increase the privileges of cor-
porations and the influence of
fringe extremists and, therefore,
diminishes the rights of individ-
uals. An uninterested, unmoti-
vated and nonparticipating voter
benefits the powerful minority
over the good of the individual.
Consider that the next elect-
ed officials will: Redraw the
Congressional districts to party
advantage; impede or aid the
work of the people’s government;
confirm the next Supreme Court
nominee; negate or enhance the
quality of life and the human
condition, the protection of the
least protected, and promote fair-
ness and balance in government;
defend or limit personal rights.
By voting we get the govern-
ment we desire and our country
needs. By not voting we get the
government we deserve.

For those of you considering
supporting Republican candi-
dates during this November’s
midterm elections, consider the
far-reaching implications that
this may have for people living in
poverty. Though poverty is hardly
considered a central issue within
this year’s campaign, it is impor-
tant to consider that our votes as
citizens directly impact the well-
being of other Americans.
Consider that the federal pov-
erty line for an individual with no
children rests at around $10,000
and only increases to around
$20,000 for a family of four. It
is very difficult to receive public
assistance in this country as it is,
and with proposed GOP auster-
ity measures (and the refusal to
pare down military spending),
the ability of many Americans
to survive would be in jeopardy.
Though it would be ideal to bal-
ance the budget as soon as pos-
sible, it is also highly unrealistic
to do so with dwindling tax rev-
enues as a result of double-digit
unemployment. Cutting social
programs during a time of need
is not only economically destruc-
tive but just as equally immoral.
Consider the desperation in
which those in poverty are liv-
ing, and then consider how your
vote may affect them. Would a
Republican-controlled Congress
which prioritizes tax cuts for the
top 1 percent opt to help these
people? I doubt it, and so should
you.

Fayetteville improves National and World News

WikiLeaks revelations did not come
N&W

in city index ranking

Military helps city economy perform “Getting this
by Michelle Zayed
staff writer
A North Carolina city leapt
bounds in an index of best perform-
ing cities because of the economic
benefit of its military base.
The 2010 Milken Institute’s
Best Performing Cities Index
ranks three North Carolina cit-
ies — including Fayetteville,
which has the Fort Bragg mili-
tary base — within the top 20 in
performance.
This index, which excludes the
nation’s largest cities, is an out-
come measurement that takes into
account the number, sustainability
and quality of jobs, said Jennifer
Manfre, spokeswoman for the
institute.
“From 2003 we’ve jumped
144 places,” said Kristie Meave,
spokeswoman for the Fayetteville–
Cumberland County Chamber of
Commerce.
Fayetteville made the biggest
jump in the state from the past
year, moving 13 spots up to 18.
The new spot represents the
nationwide pattern of city success
based on the presence of a military
base.
The Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood
area in Texas is ranked first by the
index and also hosts an example of
a successful military base.
Through Base Realignment and
Closure — or BRAC — the govern-
ment is providing more funding
for Fort Bragg, and by 2011, it is
expected to be the largest military
base in the nation.
Meave said the population in
Fayetteville, which is expected to
increase by 50,000, has been a
challenge, but officials are trying
to grow in an organized and effi-
cient way.
The needs of the rising popula-
tion are expected to be met by an
increase in jobs that are not army-
related in order to properly man-
age the community.
The Raleigh–Cary metropolitan
area is ranked seventh and is lead-
ing North Carolina cities, moving
up three spots from 2009.
Harvey Schmitt, Greater Raleigh
Chamber of Commerce’s president
and chief executive officer, said
N.C. cities’ performance might be
attributed to the types of industries
in the area. Unlike the rest of the
state, the regions are not depen-
dent on manufacturing jobs.

despite stellar days from Rebecca
Kane and Carly Smith and a his-

Fourth-year UNC coach Rich
DeSelm said that the men’s team
looks the best he’s seen at this point
in the season.
Kinderwater dominated at long-
distance, achieving first-place fin-
ishes in both the 500-yard and

and tied for eighth place by each
posting 6 under par for the tourna-
ment. Fields shot seven under par
in his two rounds on Saturday to
help build the Tar Heels’ lead.
“It was a good feeling coming
down 18 and looking up at the
scoreboard, and we have a seven-
shot lead,” Fields said. “It takes a
little of the pressure off.”
Finishing at 1 under for the
week, senior Kevin O’Connell and
sophomore Clark Palmer tied for

ished the tournament under par.
“These guys know how to win,”
Inman said. “Every one of them has

Up front, defensive tackle
Jordan Nix did not play due to
an elbow injury while lineback-
er Quan Sturdivant missed his
fourth straight game because of a
hamstring injury. Nowhere were
absences felt more than in the sec-
ondary, though.
Already without two of its nor-
mal starters in the secondary —
Kendric Burney and Charles Brown
— UNC had to do a patch job in
order to protect against Miami’s
air game. LeCount Fantroy was out
with an injured shoulder and was
replaced in the starting lineup by
Tre Boston while Butch Davis and
his staff scrambled to find a substi-
tute for Da’Norris Searcy after he
was knocked out of the game on a
second-quarter kick return.
Miami recognized the replace-
ment players in UNC’s last line of
defense and continued applying
pressure.
“I just think it was the scheme
we had going into this game,” senior
linebacker Bruce Carter said. “We
needed our corner to have support
on the edge and we got a young sec-
ondary. They did a great job com-
ing in and finding our weakness on
defense.”
Miami quarterback Jacory
Harris threw ample passes to Terry
Shankle’s side of the field when the
freshman cornerback entered the
game in the second half. Harris
1000-yard freestyle events.
Senior Tyler Harris, who DeSelm
said doesn’t normally swim dis-
tance, followed up Kinderwater’s
roaring time of 9:05.20 by clock-
ing the third-fastest time in UNC
1000-yard freestyle history.
These performances came against
a Georgia team that DeSelm called
one of the best distance-swimming
teams in the nation.
“I’m glad that he picked it up as
one of his events, and we’re going to
have a real good time beating some
people this year,” Kinderwater said.
Wyher more than contributed
to the win with four first-place fin-
ishes, including two relays, while
junior Steve Cebertowicz shored
up the rest of the short-distance
swims for UNC with a 100-yard
freestyle win.
“Suddenly, our sprinting is get-
ting better, and we’re showing up in
our shorter events,” DeSelm said.
The women’s team knew it had
its hands full on Friday against a
Georgia team that held a national
No. 1 ranking all the way until the
NCAA Championships in March.
The Tar Heels closed the gap to
125-120 with three events remain-
at, and they know how to win golf
tournaments.”
The UNC-G Bridgestone Golf
Collegiate field had 14 teams. Five
of the teams are ranked in the top
50, according to Golfweek/Sagarin
rankings.
Forest Oaks Country Club was
the host of the Greensboro PGA
tour stop from 1977 to 2007.
This tournament was the last
event of the fall for the men’s golf
team, and they are looking to keep
the victory’s momentum going
through the winter.

Soccer grabs share of conference title Men’s golf

One more win will give UNC championship outright
By Chris Moore
Staff writer
Leading 2-1 in the final minutes on Friday, the
No. 4 North Carolina men’s soccer team was barely
holding off an aggressive Virginia Tech attack.
But for the second game in a row, the Tar Heels
(11-2-1, 6-0-1 ACC) looked to freshman Robbie
Lovejoy to seal their 3-1 victory against the Hokies
(4-10-1, 1-4-1).
With less than three minutes left in regulation,
Lovejoy picked up a loose ball and fired a shot, net-

next conference game, they will
win the title outright, which has never happened.
“The ball just kind of happened to be at my feet,”
Lovejoy said. “I wasn’t really expecting it, but I was
able to slip through the defense and finally get a
shot on goal.”
The UNC goal put away a game that featured both
a dominating first 70 minutes and a shaky ending.
Midfielder Jordan Gafa struck first for the Tar
Heels, cleaning up a rebound off a shot by Carlos
McCrary in the 21st minute.
McCrary got on the board himself in the 60th
minute, scoring on a breakaway where he juked
two Hokie defenders and the goalkeeper before
sending the ball in the net.
But injuries to Gafa and midfielder Dustin
McCarty in the second half forced UNC into lineup
changes that threw off the team’s chemistry.
“For a period of time we lost our rhythm,” UNC
coach Elmar Bolowich said. “We made four substitu-

Still, UNC claimed at least a share

freshmen.
“That’s the beautiful thing about
our team,” forward Enzo Martinez
said. “All of the goals, all of the goals,
were new guys. And what can you say
about that?”
The goals scored by the freshmen
were not lucky breaks either. McCrary
