6 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2006 MARYLAND FROM PAGE 1 perimeter. And midway between the 3-point arc and the half-court line, Newman threw up a shot that found the bottom of the net to tie the game, sending the entire Maryland team out to mob the sophomore at midcourt. “I didn’t even know how much time was on the clock,” Newman said. “I didn’t know if it was going, but I knew it was on line.” That momentum, along with the stunned Tar Heels (22-1, 9-1) and 6,417 spectators at Carmichael Auditorium, carried over into the extra session, dubbed “our time” by Doron due to the Terps’ 3-0 record in the extra session this season. With the Tar Heels trailing by six, Latta buried a 3-pointer to trim the Terps’ lead in half with a min ute to play. After Langliome split a pair of free throws, Latta drained another 3 off the backboard with 27 seconds left. But the third time was not the charm after two Kristi Toliver foul shots expanded the lead to three. On UNC’s last possession, Camille Little misfired from long range, but the ball found its way back to the Tar Heel point guard. She pump faked —and the defending Doron went with her and fired up a shot well short of the rim. With Latta, the coaching staff and the boisterous crowd begging for a call, none came save for that of the victorious Maryland players. “She pump faked my hands were up, all ball hit my hand, and that was it,” Doron said. “She initi ated the contact. It was a no call.” Latta, who sat on the court after the buzzer sounded in disbelief, had a measured response to the media. “I’m not too much going to com ment if I get a whistle or not,” Latta said. Yet the Tar Heels endured playing crucial portions of Thursday’s game without two of their key players. Forward Erlana Larkins had a recurrence of the cramping problem that affected her against Florida State and Duke last season. She struggled to run the court in the final minutes of regulation and then did not play in overtime, leaving LaToya Pringle DOWNTOWN FROM PAGE 1 Chapel Hill.

But while Larkins had recov ered after the game, reserve guard Alex Miller had been taken to the hospital for neck X-rays after fall ing midway through the second half. The tests were negative, and she returned to the arena after the game to retrieve her belongings. “It may have drained us a little bit,” Hatchell said. “They were vis ibly shaken on the court.” It was with Miller out that Maryland’s guards found their long distance range. Marissa Coleman scored five points and Doron scored seven to combine on a 12-2 run that cut a 13-point lead to three. From then, UNC clung to a slim lead until the Newman 3 sent the game to OT. “This feels pretty good l’m not going to lie,” Doron said. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Craig LaMontagne, co-owner of East End Martini Bar and Deep End, said Tuesday that the club should be open by the weekend after Spring Break. LaMontagne said he wanted to turn the upstairs space into a nightclub, so that bar patrons have three different nighttime experi ences under one roof. “I know a lot of people who leave our bar who want to go out dancing,” he said. The martini bar is on the ground level and the more laid-back Deep End is on the basement level. “We’ve have had dreams of own ing all three levels since we got here in 2002.” There only will be one cover charge to wander through all three floors s3 for members and $5 for guests. “We feel like this will make us a more fun place,” LaMontagne said, adding that one benefit of having a club is that it will allow for private parties. The owners do not have a name set for the club and are promoting a contest to name the new spot. But LaMontagne said he wants to steer clear of a name such as Top End, which sounds too much like Tbp of the Hill at the other comer of Franklin Street.

Jack Richman, chairman of that search, said Chancellor James Moeser set the parameters within campus because he didn’t see the need to look for a replacement from outside UNC. “He thought he could find a suitable candidate from inside the University,” said Richman, dean of the School of Social Work. If the search does go national, it likely would last much longer than a campus-based search. But that’s still a big if, adminis trators say. Only days after Gray- Little was tapped for provost, con crete steps have not been taken toward outlining the search. “There are a number of things to be decided,” Gray-Little said. “All of those are questions that need be answered and have not been.” Securing a permanent replace ment quickly can provide stability to a unit, Allred said, pointing to the 12- day-long search to replace Shelton. “We talked about where we were,” Allred said of those work ing in the provost’s oflice, “and we all collectively agreed that we were delighted with the choice and that it had come about quickly.” While administrators have not laid out criteria for the dean search, several ongoing campus processes will factor into the consideration. In the fall the University will implement various broad changes to the college’s curriculum. And the University’s constant struggle to retain and maintain top faculty will be a priority for the next dean. “One area that will be of con tinuing importance is the recruit ment and retention of very good faculty,” Gray-Little said. Either way the search will require intensive and thorough consideration, Richman said. “The college is the largest entity in the University, hence the dean of that college is critical to the func tioning of the University.” Contact the University Editor at xidesk@unc.edu. downtown. Plans have been submitted to the Chapel Hill Town Council to approve plans for Chipotle Mexican Grill to move into 301 W. Franklin St. The Denver-based restaurant is expected to appeal to the college crowd, which already has a variety of Mexican-style foods to choose from in the downtown area. Parham said the addition of Chipotle will mean that there are 94 restaurants in the downtown area. There are 300 total business es in the downtown area from Crook’s Corner to the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, including Rosemary and Franklin streets and every intersection in between, according to data from the partnership. El Rodeo's move El Rodeo Mexican Restaurant, which has been a part of Chapel Hill for almost 17 years, is set to move from its bright-orange build ing to the former home of Mellow Mushroom, which closed during the summer. The restaurant is only mov ing down a block, from 1404 E. Franklin St. to 1502 E. Franklin St., and the move should be com plete by April 1. Owner Rigoberto Ibarra said Tuesday he wanted to move into a newer and larger building, which will allow him to add some authen tic Mexican decor. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. Board opts against school merger referendum DISCUSSIONS HALTED ] The Board of County Commissioners decided 4-1 against including a school merger option in school equity consider ations at its meeting Thursday. Commissioner Moses Carey dissented, requesting a refer endum on the ballot for Orange County voters to decide. His motion did not receive any sup port. Carey first proposed the idea of merging the Orange County and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City school districts in 2003 as a way to equalize funding between the systems. Commissioner Alice Gordon said the board would focus on differences in the school systems' funding. The publisher of Alamance News, Tom Boney, brought con cerns to the Orange County Board of Commissioners Thursday about meetings closed to a reporter. The meetings were between the chairman of the board Barry Jacobs, vice-chairman Stephen Halkiotis and other government officials. One of the meetings was about HIKES FROM PAGE 1 “We’re moving at what I think is a moderate rate of increase,” UNC CH Chancellor James Moeser told the committee. “I think it’s a rea sonable increase. I don’t think it’s excessive.” UNC-CH’s proposal for a SSO athletic fee hike came under similar questioning before the committee. Daneen Furr, UNC-CH student body treasurer, asked committee members to consider if other rev enue sources could eliminate the need for the hike. She pointed to the recent signage deal with Wachovia and a $2 mil lion windfall in the athletic budget, which resulted from the reclassifica tion of nonresident lull-scholarship students as residents for tuition purposes. “The student body overwhelm ingly opposes this fee,” Furr said. “It’s an issue of want versus need.” Moeser responded that the University is not asking for more than it really needs. “We’re not awash in cash,” he said. Hannah Gage, chairwoman of the committee, expressed concern that until recently she thought the student body supported the hike. “You say the whole student body is opposed,” she told Furr. “How did the student representative vote?” MATH, SCIENCE FROM PAGE 1 had students who expressed inter est too late to enroll in our full edu cation program, so we’re trying to figure out ways that we can accel erate their entry into teaching.” According to a state survey, last year a majority of the 115 N.C. school systems said upper-level math and science teachers were most needed. “The shortage is so intense that we have to be creative,” James said. The Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia expe rienced a similar call for innovation in attracting science and math stu dents several years ago, said UVa. professors Sandy Cohen and Randy Bell. The two were key players in start ing a “late-deciders” program there. The Curry program for teacher education is a five-year track, from Mebane students coming into Orange County schools. The other involved a meeting with mem bers of the Alamance Board of Commissioners. The commissioners attorney established that the meetings did not fall under the open meeting law. Boney said he urged that the meetings be open voluntarily. [ NONPROFITS Dolores Bailey, executive director for Empowerment, Inc., requested 5i3,500 from the com missioners. The funds would go toward a housing manager who will oversee the properties of the affordable housing group and four others. Nancy Milio, Affordable Rentals, Inc. board member, said it will help fill in funding gaps. The groups, including Orange Community Housing and Land Trust, Habitat for Humanity of Orange County, and the Chrysalis Foundation, request ed the funds be allocated in the 2006-07 budget. Student Body President Seth Dearmin, the student representa tive on the Board of Trustees, voted for the increase at the board level, along with a hike in tuition. “(Athletic director Dick) Baddour has put together a plan for this money and has identified this need,” Dearmin said. Moeser acknowledged Furr’s contention that students dislike the fee. “This is not a popular fee on campus,” he told the committee. The fee primarily will be used to renovate Carmichael Auditorium, where the women’s basketball team, among others, plays. Furr said the fee should be set to expire when the renovation is complete. But Moeser said that while the renovation will take up most of the new revenue in the immediate future, the fee is intended for all UNC-CH Olympic sports every thing except basketball and foot ball. Judith Wegner, chairwoman of the faculty, originally proposed a $l5O hike in the fee last year. Trustees eventually decided to increase the fee by SIOO last year and SSO this year. Wegner, a Daily Tar Heel guest columnist, said she supported a sunset on the fee but realized that the complexity of the renovation project made it difficult to pin point a total cost or time period. Furr, who served on this year’s which students graduate with a master’s degree in teaching and a bachelor’s degree in their area of study. Typically, Cohen said, second year students request permission to enter Curry it takes three more years to graduate with both degrees. With the program, arts and sciences students can apply one year late and still graduate after their fifth year. Bell said that since the appli cation waiver began about four years ago, the number of students focusing on secondary education has grown from about six students to about 20 —a “good number" of which are the late-deciders. “Someone who is devoted to science and decides later that they want to be a teacher, they can be a really strong teacher,” Bell said. “You’re getting folks who are really high-quality folks who have worked hard and who often have (Thr Boily (Ear MM [ KATRINA RELIEF The commissioners accepted $7,424 in federal funds to sup port Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Orange County. Social services director Nancy Coston said the funds, along with Red Cross, will help fulfill the remaining needs of Federal Emergency Management Agency registered evacuees. RAFALOWS The commissioners also rec ognized Lee and Trish Rafalow for their contributions to the county's Lands Legacy Program The Rafalows donated a gift to the county in 2005 for the program that works to acquire natural-resource lands for the county. The Rafalows also wrote let ters to local newspapers urging others to follow suit. The Lands Legacy Program has protected 1,600 acres of natural and.cultural resource land since it was adopted in 2001. -COMPILED BY KARIN DRYHURST “You're trying to get to the 75th percentile too fast And it's notfair to the students RAY FARRIS, COMMITTEE MEMBER student fee advisory committee, said students want to see a more specific plan for the Carmichael renovation and details on where exactly the money will go. “I would say I’ve received more information in the last five min utes than I received in a semester’s worth of meetings,” she said during the committee meeting. After the fee won unanimous approval from the committee, Moeser hailed it as crucial to main taining the quality of non-revenue sports at UNC-CH, especially women’s sports basketball, in particular. “I want our student body to sup port this women’s basketball team,” he said. “We don’t show them very much institutional support by put ting them in a crappy facility, quite frankly. “We need to make that a first class facility.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. “There is, of course, a dire shortage of science and math teachers ... We have to he creative.” TOM JAMES, dean research experience.” Another part of the Curry program is “Students Exploring Teaching,” which offers a set of up to five courses for arts and sciences students to learn about teaching. After graduation it is up to students to pursue a teaching license. Cohen said many SET students pursue a higher teaching degree after obtaining their undergradu ate degree, while others apply for their licenses right away. Only about 15 percent, she said, decide not to go into education at all. Candace TUrk, the human resourc es director for Duplin County Schools in southeastern North Carolina, said the county is one of many that is in need of such teachers. “You want to have the best already trained,” she said. “It would be even greater if we had people coming right out of school.” Laurie McNeil, chairwoman of the UNC physics department, said it would be favorable to work with the School of Education to create a fast-track program. “We certainly have students who have gone out and become school teachers,” she said. “And we’ve had others who have decided around the time of completion (of their degrees) that they wanted to teach and have gone on to graduate school.” Although anew teacher educa tion program has been discussed, McNeil said, there has been no fur ther action to move forward with the idea. James said his next step is to recommend to administrators that implementation of a fast-track pro gram be prioritized. “I think we can do it my dream would be to even help the next batch.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
