(Tljp oatly (Ear Hrrl University Alumni Divided On Student Seating Debate Several alumni called for more participation and cheering in the alumni seating sections at games. By Lauren Beal Assistant University Editor Who sat where didn’t seem to matter much at the Smith Center on Thursday night as all fans focused on the final sus pense-filled minutes of the game. But the debate about student seating -a continuing argument that gained momentum after last week’s Maryland game -isby no means over. . Students cheered and stood through out the game from their designated sec tions, calling for the alumni to “stand up.” Several alumni recognized student complaints but saw no easy solution. “This thing (Smith Center) was built by the donors - it never would have been built without the donors,” said sea son ticket holder Marshall Cooper, one of the original donors for the Smith Center. “So they got to look after those peo ple. The only way I can see (getting stu dents closer) is to redo the whole thing.” Alumnus Keith Bentley acknowl edged ihe student argument that more MEN'S BASKETBALL From Page 1 I he shot sent the more-than-capaci ty crowd of 21,750 in the Smith Center into a feverish pitch, so much so that most missed Duke forward Chris Carrawell’s attempted game-winner. Fortunately for UNC, so did Carrawell. But the Blue Devil senior didn’t mis fire on many opportunities. He scored 23 points, second only to teammate Shane Bather’s 25 for game-high honors. Carrawell battled Forte all night, and in the end it was the senior who won the war. Leading 84-80, Carrawell ended much of the suspense when he took Forte to the basket on a clear out, hitting the shot and drawing a foul. After drain ing the free throw, the Blue Devils led by seven with 44 seconds to play. The Tar Heels gave it one more run. [railing 88-83, OrlandhMelendez made a free throw, missed thhsecond on pur pose and grabbed the rebound. Forte sank a shot to dose the lead to two. But Duke’s Mike Dunleavy delivered on the free throw line and sealed the contest. “I thought our comeback was great. VVe just got in too big a hole,” Guthridge said. “The first half was maybe the worst half we’ve played all season.” Foul trouble plagued the Tar Heels all night. Haywood and Capel had three fouls in the first half, and both fouled out. Haywood’s absence in the middle was especially devastating for UNC. Without the big man in the middle, Duke’s Carlos Boozer scored seven points in overtime, six on dunks or layups. PEDESTRIAN From Page 1 pedestrian safety, but Poarch said the committee had met only once and had no recommendations as of yet. “It’s just too early to say (what’s in the works),” he said. Some students said the increased safety measures had not been enough to guarantee peace of mind. “There aren’t any speed bumps or enough stoplights (on Manning) so cars can just zoom through,” said Alex Changho, a freshman from Cary. “At some corners, pedestrians can’t see, and cars might not be able to stop in time.” UNC Hospitals surgeon and Critical Care Fellow Bruce Chairns, who said accident victims were often under his charge, said he was concerned that the accidents would continue and that not enough was being done. “If they don’t do something, this is just going to keep happening again and again and again,” he said. ■ “1 cross that road everyday, and there’s not a time that I don’t think about it.” Join Us Before Or After TU Movi -JL*, TT Tit*vLrly\ SLojpit\y Cchtr W<*vr Dtkiry Rd, Ckxpcl Hill.

I think a lot would move. ” Bob Bilbro Alumnus, Raleigh said. “There has been some improve ment - it used to be worse.” In the past, students did not have seats in section 110, and athletes from other sports sat in section 109, Werley said. “It has improved immensely, but the whole thing is they have obligations that were made.” Duke 90, UNC 86 (OT) Box Score Duke 41 32 17 90 UNC 24 ~49 13 86 Duke 1901 fj ft lb min m-a m-a o-t a pi tp Carrawell 44 8-15 6-6 1-6 S 1 23 Battier 42 8-9 ?-9 4-10 t 3 25 Boozer 34 5-14 5-7 2-7 1 3 15 James 23 3-7 DO 1-2 0 5 7 Wtlkams 43 5-16 1-6 2-3 6 2 12 Christensenß 04} frO 0-1 0 10 Duntetwv 29 3*B 2-2 0-3 33 8 Horvath 2 0-1 00 11 0 0 0 Total 225 32-70 21-30 11-33 16 18 90 Percentages -FG .457.

I felt I had him bottled up,” said Haywood, who fouled out with 2:50 to play in regulation. “Just to see him scor ing in overtime really hurt me.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. He said he wished the “Stop for Pedestrian” signs had not been removed, that lighting would be improved and that police would have a more visible presence. Other students said the intersection of Manning Drive and Skipper Bowles Drive was still particularly dangerous, and that the construction in the area impaired visibility. “The construction makes it really hard to see oncoming cars and for the cars lo see the pedestrians,” said Kara Mannix, a freshman from Long Island, N.Y. “It’s getting worse. I see close calls every time I go over to Chase (Hall).” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

Staff Report After being among the most-criti cized players in the nation for much of the season, North Carolina center Brendan Haywood has stepped up his game. Entering Thursday's game with Duke, the Tar Heels’ 7-footer was aver aging almost 17 points and nine rebounds per contest in his last four games. But beware, Brendan. After a hard-fought game in the pivot against the Blue Devils, Haywood and UNC will come face-to-face with a col lapsing Clemson defense that has put the wraps on opposing big men as of late. The T igers (8-13, 2-6 in the ACC), who have won two of their past three games by shutting down their oppo nents’ low-post game, host the Tar Heels (13-9, 4-4) at 4 p.m. Sunday at Little John Coliseum. In Wednesday’s 70-58 victory at Georgia Tech, Clemson employed a five-on-one strategy in the pivot and held 7-foot Jason Collier and 6-1 i Alvin Jones to a combined 17 points - 11 below their combined averages coming into the contest. The Tigers worked the same magic, but on a larger scale, in a 59-42 upset against then-No. 21 N.C. State on Jan. 27. The Wolfpack’s starting big men, Damon Thornton and Kenny Inge, managed only two points apiece. By shutting down their opponents’ big men, the Tigers forced N.C. Slate and Georgia Tech to try to win the game from the perimeter. Neither team was up to the chal lenge. The Tigers harassed the Wolfpack into a 15-50 (.300) perfor mance while holding the Yellow Jackets to an equally dismal 20-58 (.345). But even if Clemson breaks out a surge protector to keep Haywood from Sports Ktf |a ' VEpj&pr i\ Wi DTH .MILLER PEARSALL Two alumni sit and talk among empty seats as rowdy, painted students jump to their feet to cheer for the Tar Heels at the UNC versus Duke basketball game Thursday night.

His 2()-plus-footer - in the exact same spot as his last shot - made sure UNC would come no closer than one point with 2:36 to go in over time. T hat designed triple gave Duke an 82-78 lead. “I really wanted to float and get base line looks,” said Battier, who finished with 23 points and 10 boards. “The shooting hasn’t really been too kind to me lately, but it was pretty good to me tonight.” pay for hovering around the painl While UNC should be able to knock down its open looks, it was Clemson’s leading scorer.

Game: UNC at Clemson Time: 4 p.m. Location: Clemson, S.C. Radio: 100.7 FM, WCHL-1360 AM Television: Raycom/JP Sports Series Record: UNC leads 106-16. Keys for UNC: The Tar Heels need to avoid a letdown following the emotion of Thursday's Duke game. UNC lost by 15 points at Clemson last year, causing coach Bill Guthridge to verbally lash out at his team during a timeout. The Tigers have already caught N.C. State napping this year, beating the Wolfpack by 17 points. Keys for Clemson: Center Adam Allenspach missed the Georgia Tech.gatne with a.bukjing disk and might sit out Sunday's contest. Dustin Braddick stepped in against the Yellow Jackets and scored a career-high 14 points. Clemson needs Will Solomon to carry more of the offensive load than he did in a 13-point effort against the Tar Heels earlier this season. UNC Bench: Power forward Julius Peppers had his coming-out party against the Tigers on Jan. 6, scoring eight points and grabbing 13 rebounds. Max Owens adds 10.3 points per game off the bench. Clemson Bench: Guard Pasha Baines is Clemson's fourth-leading scorer (6.5 points a game), but he has hit only 21 percent of his 3-point tries. Center Arturas Javtokas has left the program for personal reasons. Prediction: UNC 72, Clemson 59. Compiled by Bret Strelow wrong end of lopsided score no matter how well it contains Haywood.
