BOT offers 5-fold support to build freestanding BCC
BY SUMMER SAADAH
STAFF WRITER
In an exciting move for the Sonja H.
Stone Black Cultural Center, the Board
of Trustees announced Friday that it
would match every dollar students raise
with five of its own to build a free-stand
ing center.
This decision would mean that if stu
dents meet their goal of raising $20,000
to help fund the construction of the new
BCC, they would receive SIOO,OOO from
the trustees.
“The message is getting out there
about what the center means to the
University,” said Matthew Kupec, vice
chancellor of advancement.
BCC director Gerald Home said the
trustees were probably motivated by the
students’ energy.
Kupec agreed. “We were inspired by
what student groups are doing and the
commitments they have held them
selves to,” he said.
BCC Ambassadors Co-coordinator
Shana Fulton said she hadn’t expected
the money but that the BOT’s
announcement showed its concern and
support for the BCC. “I love every sin
gle board member,” Fulton said.
BCC publicist and program director
Ange-Marie Hancock said the decision
was a pleasant surprise. “I think they
wanted us to prove ourselves,” she said.
“Now they’re willing to come join us,
and we welcome them.”
The trustees also addressed several
other student issues, including the pro
posed student fee increase of $26.
The proposed increase is a result of
the increased costs of providing tech
nology services to students, Nathan said
in his address to the BOT.

“It was a very sweet win, because we
struggled a bit (this season),” UNC
coach Karen Shelton said. “At times we
doubted our own ability.”
“It came together very well today
against a great team.”
But UNC’s early-season struggles
seemed far removed when the team’s six
seniors Kate Barber, Joy Driscoll,
Jana Withrow, Cindy Werley, Jen
DiCuollo and Abbi Keller lifted the
school’s fourth championship trophy.
The sight provided a suitable finish to
the year, as it was their inspired play that

raise SB,OOO
to help BCC
BY MONIKA ELLIS
STAFF WRITER
Ambassadors of the Sonja H. Stone
Black Cultural Center raised SB,OOO in
the Pit on Friday to kick off a re-ener
gized student fund-raising campaign for
a freestanding BCC.
The BCC Ambassadors, students
who educate campus and community
organizations about the BCC, said their
goal was to raise $20,000 in student
funds by May.
The money will contribute to the
overall fund-raising campaign that has
so far raised $3.5 million of the $7.5
million needed to build a freestanding
center.
Erasing misconceptions about the
BCC is also a campaign goal, said
Shana Fulton, BCC Ambassadors co
coordinator.
“We’re trying to teach everyone what
the BCC does,” Fulton said.
A few students pledged donations of
SI,OOO, but Fulton encouraged dona
tions of all sizes.
“We will take your pocket change,”
Fulton said.
In an effort to aid fund raising, the
Board of Trustees announced Friday it
would match every student dollar with
$5.
“You give $1; it’s like giving $6,”
Student Body President Mo Nathan, an
ex officio member of the BOT, told stu
dents in the Pit.
“I would recommend trying to bank

but each one was unique, he said.
But Hooker said he was not com
pletely abandoning the possibility of
building a center in Chapel Hill.
“We need a performing arts facility
for our campus, whether there’s one in
the region or not,” he said. “We will
pursue a center whether that falls
through or not.”
He said he would now focus the
University’s efforts on renovating its
existing auditoriums, Hill Hall and
Memorial Hall, and said he planned to
seek state funding for the renovation.
The move shocked some of those
involved in the University’s plans for a
center, especially those who joined
Hooker on a trip earlier this month to
see the University of Michigan at Ann
Arbor’s performing arts center.
“That was a surprise to me especial
ly because I had been on the Ann Arbor
trip. They were so enthusiastic," said
Nancy Preston, a member of the Chapel
Hill Public Arts Commission.
Chapel Hill Mayor Rosemary
Waldorf said the Chapel Hill Town
Council had never officially discussed a
possible center in Chapel Hill. She said
the center would be built to benefit stu
dents as its foremost role.

it came alive when necessary. UNC
entered the tournament as the nation’s
hottest team and ended the season on a
10-game winning streak.
“Today, they were the best team in
the nation,” Old Dominion coach Beth
Anders said. “They certainly deserve
(the title), make no mistake. They scored
on three tremendous goals, and they
played an excellent game.”
But the Monarchs didn’t submit easi
ly, jumping out to an early 1-0 lead on a
goal from freshman Marina
DiGiacomo, her 34th of the season.
The Tar Heels controlled the action
