dhr flaiin (Ear Brrl RAPE KITS FROM PAGE 3 covered by the fund have increased by about $13,500, leading to steep deficits. The safety and security fee refer endum that passed on the Fefc. 12 student elections ballot will provide additional funding, some of which will go toward increasing aware ness of options and resources avail able to victims of sexual assault. Before the increase, the safety and security fee was $0.85 per semester. The $0.25 increase means students will now' pay sl.lO each semester. Students voted overwhelmingly in favor of the increase in fees, which is designed to ensure that rape kits remain free for students. But medical practitioners will try to work with nonstudents even in the absence of greater funding from the legislature, said Trida Heafner. coor dinator for UNC Hospitals’ program Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner. “We ensure that they get treat ment, and if there is a burden, we work it out with the individual," she said. “We never have turned anyone away, and we’re always available." Garcia said public funding for the kits is an unfortunate burden the state must undertake. “The reality of it is we don’t know when we'll have to seek out that test for ourselves or our loved ones," Garcia said.

Jason Hurd, who served in Iraq from November 2004 to November 2005, used the opportunity to speak against military procedure in Iraq. “I saw so many tactics that actu ally injured Iraqi people," Hurd said. “We’re hurting innocent civilians." Participants then handed out fake draft cards for spectators to bum. “This war has got to stop, and we’ve got to stop it," Tal said as stu dents defaced their cards. Yoder said burning draft cards served as a symbol of protest against U.S. war-time policies in the 19705. “It’s great that we have a free nation where citizens can protest things that they disagree or agree with,” he said.

We felt like we were carrying the torch.” Even though Lockwood and Treadaway portray the same mas cot, they each bring something dif ferent to the role. Treadaway said he enjoys direct ing the band and sometimes does a salute to the coaches. Lockwood said he likes to be in the spotlight by staving near the court or field. Lockwood said that adding another person to the role will help ease the pressure on the two. “I think Tyler and I are going to back off a bit,” he said. “We’re not going to be completely absent, but we can definitely spread it out more.” Still, Treadaway said seeing another Rameses is going to take some getting used to. “It really is weird when I’m walk ing around and another Rameses comes up to me," he said. “You actually get to see him through another person’s eyes."

In creating art from the legacy of slavery, Denecy said she and the other dancers have had to reflect upon painful dimensions of their cultural heritage. “All our ancestors were slaves, but we all have different ways of dealing with the memory of slav ery,” Denecy said. And tonight’s piece will reflect the different histories and cultures of each individual dancer. “The traditional dance from my island is Gwo Kah," Denecy said. “I have to admit that it was a dance that I didn't think I needed to learn, but for this piece I did.” As ofThursday night, more than 1,100 tickets have been sold to the 1,434-seat venue. “Half of them are students, so obviously it's striking a chord," Kang said. ‘I think that the idea of what they represent culturally and historically is alluring."

The Embrace and the Celebration of Black Womanhood committees focus on issues pertaining to black men and women. “In today’s society there is a big misrepresentation and a negative image of black males, not only with in the UNC community but within the nation, as well,” said Jon Scott, co-chairman for Embrace. Scott pointed to tendency of the public to associate black males with crime as one of the misrepresenta tions Embrace tries to dispel. The committee’s biggest project. Men’s Week, will include forums discussing black politics and the black male image at UNC, while the CBW committee is working on a similar women’s event. “It offers a home for minority women, specifically since our campus is generally white,” Co-Chairwoman Shannon Davis said of CBW. Both groups help members dis cuss identity and personal issues, but others stress the nuts and bolts of the organization. “The Education Committee is what seeks to promote scholarships." said Alysa Campbell, the committee's co-chairwoman. “We are the driving force behind being students first” The Special Projects and Parent Sudoku # • gcUIICS By The Mepham Group ' * VSi£ e 2007 The Mepham Group Distributed by Tribune Media Services All rights reserved mmso Complete the grid __________________________ so each row, column q q and 3-by-3 box (in O y bold borders) con _ ! n tains evef y d< s ,t 1,0 I / I y 9 For strategies on lei ' A ’ - how to solve Sudoku. 3 / 4 O visit www. sudoku — ———. ———— org.uk. 3 6 2 ~, , 7 5 Thursday’s puzzle 1 j | | i—j 874116 21 95 3 0 4 7 2697 53 8 14 4 Q Q 7 981235467 ° } , ' 756489321 fi14326 7 1 5 8 9 __L_J | ° 1 1 127594638 Q1q648 3 2 7 19 5 g I 1 ° I 13 9 518 16 17 4 2 Cwhat the heck are) DTH 7 7] Qwe going to do - 1 O L/mSSillCd ' *- - N o O q ing, People together (where theheck'are 'J, 1 going to find on ; \JSSbim C ouch?ri wwwxiaily-tarheel.com -_ _ , —i r —* | THE Daily Crossword Edited by Wayne Robert Williams 71 Letter flourish 72 Makes up one's mind 73 Word before |erk or water DOWN 1 Localize the soundtrack 2 Candler or Gray 3 Convened 4 Pish! 5 Scorching superficially 6 Part of GPA 7 Attempt to disprove 8 Mohammed's favorite wife 9 Baton Rouge sch 10 Much in demand 11 Concerning bees 12 Sex researcher Hite 13 Nincompoops 18 French islands 19 Computer brand ACROSS 1 Somewhat wet 5 Poet Teasdale 9 Tibetan capital 14 Employs 15 Judith or Dana 16 2nd-year coeds 17 Swimsuit models 20 Math branch 21 UCLA rival 22 Exist 23 Intuitive reading? 29 Ms. Thurman 30 Take a load off 31 Cuckoopint 32 Rope fiber 34 Part of Can 36 Mimickers 40 Facing misfortune bravely 44 Coeur d' ,ID 45 River in Devon 46 Kind of log 47 End of demo? 50Not Unusual" 52 Meas across 53 Ace place? 58 Ms. Gardner 59 Corrida cheer 60" Gotta Be Me" 61 Shut up 68 Satellite of Jupiter 69 Squat down 70 Philosopher Immanuel rIhIIINfoM7TsTTTA[cMTrRTsI BB ITo v E|opMgD|T t MB AIRIS ETn A lMm|u|D[D e RI s I 01E IE M| E Djß7TotNTT|BltotUj —a, n.2. haßßs ][_a r] L E oil s’ I T S Bo OSSIP] 'a R I E R S I CIO _L o S s T] Bi-i-LIL 11 never TOH RVE L O SIT A T A L 7) A R I HH E~ L E N 1t E P I PI p|e|pßs| I |x|e|rMe|d|e|n|s| FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2008 Alumni Relations Committee plans and implements the BSM’s major annual programs and special events, such as the 40th anniver sary celebration, which begins at noon Saturday.
