aijp Wy dlar MM Woollen site of unique game CHASE hosts basketball clinic BY COURTNEY LEIGH MILLER STAFF WRITER Twenty-seven people showed up to play wheelchair basketball Monday night. Only six of them actually were physically disabled. Chapel Hill Adaptive Sports Experience hosted a wheelchair basketball clinic Monday in Woollen Gym for both disabled and nondisabled members of the community. Junior Lindsey Green and senior Tara Thananetapon said they founded CHASE at the end of last year because there were no disability programs available on campus. “It’s something that people can really get involved in to draw more people in who don’t know much about adaptive sports,” said Thananetapon, an exercise and sport science major. Thananetapon and Green went to Dr. Diane Groff, a professor of exercise and sport science, with Forum addresses war in Iraq BY ERIN FRANCE STAFF WRITER About 650 people attended a panel discussion Monday on the war in Iraq, sponsored by the Orange County Democratic Party. The forum was moderated by Jack Sanders, chairman of the Orange County Democratic Party, and fea tured U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C., and Bruce Jentleson, a professor of public policy and political science at Duke University. “I think it’s a Rep. David Price spoke to a large crowd about the war in Iraq. shared consensus here to say ‘No,’ to stay the course (of the war),” Jentleson said. Some in the crowd affirmed this statement by waving green papers supplied by the OCDP.

The Wake Wheelers Wheelchair Basketball team was on hand to teach those who never had played before. J. Michael Atkins, of Robeson County, and three Wake Wheelers helped the nondisabled partici pants in the clinic understand the rules of the sport and how it works. “I’ve been in this area in a chair for longer than anyone in this group of guys that came tonight,” said Atkins, who has been playing wheelchair basketball on a team since 1992. “There was no type of adaptive sports program in this area,” he said. “For years I’ve been beating on the doors of Duke, N.C. State and UNC for gym time, any type of assistance or help.” Senior Chris Ellis, a communi red sheets showed disapproval allowed the crowd to express themselves and participate. “It also reduced interruptions,” he said. Tom Henkel, the treasurer of the OCDP, said the papers contributed to a free exchange of ideas between the audience and the panelists. He said he was pleased with the turnout and the effect it could have on Price. “I think our congressman is getting educated.” There was discussion among panel members about how and when U.S. troops should pull out of Iraq and whether the upcoming Iraqi constitution will solve any problems. Jentleson said he advocates a time frame instead of a fixed schedule for flexibility in handling unforeseen situations. But Price advocates holding President Bush to a fixed schedule for leaving Iraq. “The benchmark idea is a way of challenging the president.” Ray McGovern, a former CIA News cations studies major, was among the students without disabilities who never had played wheelchair basketball before. “I’m pretty bad at able-bodied basketball,” Ellis joked a few min utes before rolling a borrowed wheelchair behind the three-point line for the first time and shoot ing. Students without disabilities said the experience helped them not to take their physical abilities for granted. “It’s a great opportunity to appreciate how lucky we are to have bodies that do such amaz ing things and understand what it’s like not to be so lucky,” said sophomore Ben Scandella, from Seattle. CHASE has future plans for other activities, including a showing of “Murderball,” a docu mentary showcasing quad rugby, Dec. 2 and Dec. 3 in the Student Union.

However, Jentleson said after the debate he thinks Price did an excellent job answering questions. “He conveyed to people that his opinions are heartfelt too,” he said. Price was asked in an audience submitted question whether he would support a bill in the U.S. House to pull troops out of Iraq by the end of 2006. He said the bill only would sup port the American troops and did not mention any help for the Iraq people. “There’s a narrow perspective in this.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. Student council kicks off meetings Designed as way to unite campus BY KATIE HOFFMANN ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR The Top of Lenoir was a vir tual who’s who of campus leaders Monday night. More than 20 student lead ers came together to hold the first meeting of the Student Organization Council an umbrella group for campus leaders to discuss University issues. The group is a collaboration between Don Luse, director of the Student Union, Virginia Carson, director of the Campus Y and Ryan Tick, editor-in-chief of The Daily Tar Heel. “I think it’s a great opportunity to press pause and ask, ‘What can we do?’” Tick said. Student leaders stressed the need to coordinate communica tions between organizations, high lighting the fragmented Hurricane Katrina relief effort as an example of the missing link between cam pus groups. “All major organizations were THE Daily Crossword By Arlan & Linda Bushman ACROSS 1 Liquid asset 5 Seventh heaven 10 Quahog 14 Wield the scepter 15 Noon event 16 Luminous ring 17 Olfactory prod 18 Davis of filmdom 19 Tidbit 20 Be impartial 23 J.D.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2005 trying to do a Katrina relief effort,” said Bobby Whisnant, senior class president. “But there was no orga nization like this to go to.” Students also emphasized the need to coordinate events with other groups and to try to avoid conflicts of events. “It’s not that campus groups aren’t doing things,” said KaDarra Lowe, chairwoman of the UNC chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. “We’re all doing the same things, we just don’t know about them.” This communication problem soon will be addressed by anew aggregate campus calendar. Using new software called Mambo, each student organization’s calendar will be able to feed direct ly into SLICE the Student Life Integrated Calendar of Events. “It’s your slice of life at UNC,” said Mark Laabs, Student Body President Seth Dearmin’s chief of staff. Laabs said that the program ming is being finalized and that everything is almost in place for student organizations to use the technology. “Literally, in the next couple of days, I should have confirmation of 26 Aplomb 27 Pretentious 29 Portion (out) 30 Lima's nation 32 Flatfoot 33 Remote target? 34 Helpful one's request 35 Get tough 37 Favorite 38 Thole inserts 39 Zion National Park's state 41 Side issue 45 Noble gas " 2 3 4 MOT pp p p BBTF - Tn 112 13 L fIR " h 20 ~ hhh ~ nr: IMP 7- 76 ■■26 29 33 34 3/ 38 —— —— 44 4^®47 48 "“''—■■■■■■49“ 51 "““'"■■s?” 63 mfeo- 61 I 62 ““ ■■66 K 7 i * t jj§|| r j r s® - """ 1 - “ that status,” Laabs said. After confirmation, he said it should be about one week until organizations are able to use the Web site. Laabs said he would help mem bers ease into the transition at the council’s next monthly meeting. Members also said they hoped the next meeting will include rep resentatives from more groups. “By virtue of representing the largest student organizations on campus, we aren’t representing all the 500 student organizations,” Laabs said. But Tick said many organizations who were invited did not attend, including the Young Democrats, College Republicans, Sangam, CHispA and Campus Crusade. The council also will accept applications for five general mem ber spots for students who are involved on campus but not neces sarily a major leader in one group. “I think it would be good for up and-coming students and would give us an outside perspective,” Dearmin said.
