Wilmington's
champion basket
ball team proved
they can run with
the big cats, but
came up short of
glory in Nashville
last weekend, bow
ing out of the
NCAA tournament
after a 64-47 loss to
the University of
Cincinnati.
The Seahawks
started out strong,
leading the Bearcats
for a total of two
minutes and 47 sec
onds in the first five
minutes of the
game, Wilmington
managed a slight
lead in the first min
utes of play, but UC
woke up, taking
control and scoring 26 points to UNCW’s 14 in the first half.
Wilmington battled back, almost matching Cincinnati’s points
scored in the second half, 33-38, but the damage was already done
and UC won 64-47.
Senior Ramond Ferine explained the loss: “[Cincinnati] didn’t
shoot the ball all that well, but they made more shots than we did
and they ended up winning the

The Bearcats’ offen.se kept most of UNCW’s biggest shooters
from coming through,
including Brett Bliz
zard who only man
aged eight points on
the game. Only junior
Barron Thelmon made
it to the double digits
for Wilmington with
1.*). but senior Oleg
Kojenets and sopho
more Stewart Hare
were close with nine
each.
“I believe their size
and their ability to
block shots hurt us as
well." said Ferine. “I
believe their ability to
block shots changed
the game. We weren’t
making open shots, so
when we drove the ball
... it changed the way
we went into it. That’s
a credit to their ability
to block shots.”
"One of the things
you have to do when
there’s a physical difference is shoot the ball at a high level.” UNCW
coach Jerry Wainwright said. “You just need a great shooting night
and that’s sometimes hard in these big arenas where kids get 20
minutes to practice.”
Senior Victor Ebong was named UNCW Flayer-of-the-Game by
CBS Sports, leading the Seahawks with 15 points and seven re

Tuition increase approved by Board of Trustees
by SOMER STAHL
Staff Writer
A motion for a student fee increase was passed through the UNCW
Board of Trustees (BOD during a phone conference on Monday, March
6. The plan calls for an 11 percent fee increase for the 2000-2001 school
year, which will cause a $ 120 tuition increase fw in-state students and an
$200 increase for all out-of-state students. The proposal is based on ap
proved needs fiom departments on campus and the revenue projection for
next yc3r.
Originally, a $197 (17.8 percent) increase was approved by the BOT
and sent to the general administration for review before being taken to the
Board of Governors (BOG). TWs proposal was rejected at the state level.
“At that point the general administration called the BOT and said they
beUeved that they had asked for increases that they couldn’t support. So
the BOT had to reduce the increases proposed, espeaally technology and
recreation,” said Special Assistant to the (lianceUor and UNCW BOT
Executive Committee member Mark Lanier.
The fee increase proposal was revised and the II percent increase will
be considered by the BOG in March and voted on in April.
The BOT has proposed a $25 increase in recreation fees, which will go
towards the operation of the
new nscreation building, in
cluding staff, equipment,
etc.
An athletic fee increase
of $35 is also included in
the package. Lanier said the
athletic fee increase is
needed more than anything
else due to an overall in
crease in tuition/fees and the
athletic department’s need
for scholarship fiinding.
A $100 increase was
originally proposed for
technology fees, but was
reduced to $60.
‘Technology fees are
mainly used for increasing
student access to technol
ogy, whether it be in labs, clas.srooms, or additionalwinn^^
