Much of the lobbying efforts were devoted to minimizing the amount of the budget cuts to UNC-system schools. “Through communication with the (UNC-system Association of Student Governments) we have become ambassadors for the UNC-system,” he said. Calabria also recently took a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with N.C. senators and congress men. His discussions focused on national issues that affected North Carolina higher education such as Pell Grants and Stafford loans. “Certainly budget issues are the most pertinent, most pressing and probably the most important issues out there,” Calabria said. “It is our job to demonstrate how important a priority higher education is.” Contact the University Editor at vdesk@unc.edu.

O 2004 DTH Publishing Cotp. All rights reserved News New shop skips on Franklin BY CATHERINE SHAROKY STAFF WRITER With another local business opening its doors away from downtown Chapel Hill, the appeal of Franklin Street as a family friendly business location is in question. Lickity Split, a brightly-colored, ice cream and hot dog shop locat ed at 503 Meadowmont Village Circle, held its grand opening Friday amidst a crowd of 30 peo ple. Store owner Michael Rosenbacher said that he “didn’t even consider” Franklin Street as a location for Lickity Split. “Chapel Hill is growing out of downtown,” said Rosenbacher, a native of Chapel Hill and a 1988 UNC graduate. “Not everyone wants to go to Franklin Street.” Rosenbacher’s family-owned The Hub Ltd., a men’s clothing store which was located on Franklin Street from 1959-1996. Rosenbacher said that the Meadowmont area is more family friendly than Franklin Street, and that one can “walk down the street with ease” in Meadowmont. Meadowmont is a developing Experienced Hopkins defeats UNC in NCAA quarterfinals BY DANIEL BLANK SPORTS EDITOR North Carolina’s one-goal loss to Johns Hopkins in April showed how close the Tar Heels were to the nation’s top-ranked team in terms of talent. But Hopkins’ 15-9 win in the lacrosse NCAA quarterfinals on Saturday, eliminating UNC in its first tournament appearance since 1998, showed how much of a dif ference postseason experience can make. “We were pretty nervous out there, we started slow,” said junior attacker Jed Prossner. “They knew what it was like to be in the quar terfinals.” Prossner added, “If we played them like we did the first game, I think we could’ve won. We played tentatively.” But Coach John Haus said it was the team’s defensive struggles that cost UNC (10-5), not its lack of experience. “I can’t remember the last time J/HL SUMMER HOURS i , i X / Wt Moo-Wed 1130 AM lIPW, ‘ , p .■“"TBgglJr %Ml HbctSm ii3oam-ii3opm Srety Soou-lira Motorist Alert: Ridge Road will be blocked to through traffic just east of the southern end of Stadium Drive beginning June 2, 2004 due to utility work.

It opened 3 1/2 years ago, said Aaron Nelson, exec utive director of the Chapel Hill- Carrboro Chamber of Commerce. “The tenant mix is wonderful,” Rosenbacher said noting that it is more enjoyable than downtown. High school senior Jacob Coyme, who works at Lickity Split, said that he never considered look ing for a job on Franklin Street. “I don’t particularly enjoy the people who are on Franklin Street,” he said. “It’s not a comfortable place to be.” Pam Satcher, who grew up in Chapel Hill and now lives in Durham, attended the opening with her infant. She said that Meadowmont is “more family ori ented” than Franklin Street. She said Meadowmont is more appealing than Franklin Street because it is more conveniently located and provides ample park ing. Although Franklin Street may be losing popularity in the family oriented market, it is still a con venient destination for UNC stu dents. Ashley Rosen, a junior at UNC, we’ve given up 15 goals,” Haus said. “Any time we made a run they’d bounce back and get quick goals.” The Blue Jays went on a 6-2 run in the second quarter and held a 9- 4 lead early in the third. The Tar Heels responded with three goals to cut the deficit to two, but less than a minute later, Hopkins came'back with three straight goals to reopen the lead. Although the loss was by far the team’s most lopsided the next widest margin for the Tar Heels was two goals the team’s first taste of postseason play in six years will be something the team can learn from for next season. “The way they played all year, they have nothing to be ashamed of,” Haus said. “They did feel like they had accomplished something they hadn’t and that’s something you can build off of.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. - An j W * * -JHp ■ \ J DTH/GILLIAN BOLSOVER Meadowmont resident Rachel Lloyd, 5, enjoys Lickety Split's sweet new fare while her mother Denise and brother Wilson, 3, wait at the counter. said that she favors the close prox imity of Franklin Street.

In two starts, Cox pitched 26.2 innings, collected 19 strikeouts and gave up just 11 hits and two runs. Cox’s record; 0-2. The sixth-seeded Tar Heels lost 1-0 in 16 innings to host Baylor, the third seed, on May 20 and were eliminated by No. 4 Seton Hall 1-0 in 12 innings the next day. In between, UNC won 4-0 against Texas-San Antonio. “There’s always disappointment in losing, especially in regionals and especially for the seniors,” said Cox, a sophomore. “We felt good about how we played together.” Cox was forced to go up against Baylor’s Cristen Vitek in the first 919-967-9053 300 E.

For 16 innings, Vitek dominat ed the UNC offense. The Tar Heels (44-22) hianaged just three hits, not picking up their first one until the 11th inning. Vitek also struck out 28 UNC batters, an all-time NCAA record. Against Seton Hall, the Tar Heels notched 12 hits against Megan Meyer but were unable to plate a run. “More than frustrating, I was just tired,” Cox said. “Everyone worked so hard.” As the lower seed, UNC hit first in each game, meaning Cox had to match Vitek and Meyer each time they posted another scoreless inning. “There was pressure in that,” Cox said. “I had to be perfect to not let them score.” The problem for the Tar Heels in the Seton Hall game was they were unable to string their hits together despite the high total. Their best chance to score came in the sixth inning when they loaded the bases with two outs, but right fielder Jessica Young flew out to center to end the threat. Seton Hall finally broke the scoring in the bottom of the 12th when Caitlin White drove in the winning run on an infield single. Cox said she was proud of the way the team battled in both games but was disappointed to come up short each time. “It’s always frustrating, in a game that’s so close, to lose like that,” Cox said. “The tight games are so heartbreaking.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.
