Heels ahead 74-69 with 1:09 left.
“Josh Howard is long, and the only
way I could probably get that shot off
was to fade,” said Forte, who had a
team-high 24 points. “So I faded, and I
knew that we needed the bucket, so I
really concentrated.”
Forte, who shot l-of-10 at Wake
Forest as a freshman a year ago, hit
4-of-12 first-half attempts and scored 12
points to help UNC head to the locker
room with a 38-37 lead.
He finished with 24 points on the
night.
Wake Forest’s Craig Dawson kept the
Demon Deacons within striking dis
tance by lighting up the Tar Heels for 15
points in the half.
The two teams shot out of the gates
offensively and combined for 34 points
in the first 8:23.
“I was wondering if anyone was
going to stop anybody all night long,”
Wake Forest coach Dave Odom said.
Eventually, that happened. Just in
time for UNC to pull out their sixth
consecutive road win in the ACC.
The Tar Heels matched their longest
consecutive win streak since 1997-98
with 17.
In time for Haywood to wave at the
Wake Forest student section with 4.1
seconds left and the words “Go home”
flying out of his mouth.
After the game, Haywood Said he
thought Wake should have won the
game because the Tar Heels hadn’t
played their best game.
UNC committed 20 turnovers and
allowed Wake to grab 20 offensive
rebounds.
The Demon Deacons outscored
North Carolina 28-7 on second-chance
points.
Odom said later that Haywood’s
comment only demeaned his team.
Said Odom, “Right now, I don’t care
what Brendan Haywood thinks, and I
haven’t since he made the decision to
go to Carolina.”

Peirce said it is an issue of equal
opportunities for students. “The biggest
problem is underrepresentation of all
students,” she said.
Campbell agreed, saying, “Each cul
ture has an equal opportunity to give to
the campus community.”
He suggested the idea of a Spring

changes have been positive and I would
love to see more student seats ... but I
don’t want to promise, because getting
(the alumni) to move will be a task.”
But Songer said he is pressing ahead.
“It’s my number one priority. I’m fairly
confident we can agree to something.”
Many students adamantly support
additional risers, citing this year’s elec
tric atmosphere in the Smith Center and
the limited availability of tickets. “I

groups truly aid in unifying people of
different races.
“It’s kind of the diversity that divides
us right now,” Campbell said. “It’s not
a celebration. ... It seems (that groups
like the Black Student Movement and
BCC) are for their own self-promotion
rather than working on diversity and
unity as a campus.”
■ Candidate Annie Peirce said she
wants to develop a human relations
committee that would hold forums once
a month on topics such as interracial
dating and underrepresentation of
minorities.
Peirce said one reason the issue is
complex is because the definition of
minority is vague.
“It can refer to where you’re from,

Baker said her definition of social jus

Young said he will “advocate and
empower people who have missed out

He said his platform includes a pub

said sophomore Elizabeth Gottschalk.
“There are only four years that we can
really call the guys our team.”
Freshman Jonathan Stout said he loves
having hundreds of students standing and
screaming courtside.
“It pumps the players up more, and it
distracts the opponents,” he said. “It just
brings more of a lively atmosphere to the
Dean Dome.”
The future of Carolina Fever’s basket
ball seating block is even more divisive.
Songer said he wants to end Fever’s
claim to the 169 seats given to them
each game and add them to the general
student block instead. He argues that

■ Candidate Dustyn Baker said
three years of volunteering with the
Office of Minority Affairs will help her
when dealing with race relations.
She plans to establish a one-room
multicultural center and aid in the
recruitment of high school seniors.
“I know the Native American student
population right now is very, very low
to the point that we, at UNC, should be
embarrassed.”
■ Candidate Caleb Ritter said he
would hold more events promoting dis

The public is invited.
The audience’s question topics
ranged from women’s safety to how the
candidates would reach out to students
who lived off campus.
Sophomore Liza Potter, a member of
the Campus Y, said she found the forum
to be a useful tool in determining which
candidate is best for the job. She said, “I
found out who was going to emphasize
what I felt was important and whose
concerns were my concerns.”

Fever members only attend Olympic
sports events to earn points toward
men’s basketball tickets.
Chaney prefers to maintain Fever’s
current number of seats. “The last
reductions created more competition
within Fever, increasing support for the
Olympic sports but still makes sure
they’re fairly compensated,” he said.
Pruitt, who reduced the number of
Fever seats from about 250 last year to 169
this year, likes the current allocation.
“We’ve worked passionately at all this,” he
said. “I think our current levels are fine.”
The University Editor can be reached
at udesk@unc.edu.
But, judging from his personal expe
rience, he said, “I don’t feel like race
relations are all that bad here.”
Carolina Hispanic Association Vice
President Eleina Hurd said the student
body president has the power to set a
tone for the campus to follow on issues
such as race relations.
“The student body president for the
campus serves as a model, and if they
promote multiculturalism and diversity,
whether through daily actions or spon
soring events, it can help."

those seeking the offices of RHA presi

“I would like to show my endorse
ment of Warren Watts and Eric Johnson."
Trakas and Wilhite said that even
though they did not submit their peti
tions, they still plan on continuing their
campaigns. “I’m a write-in candidate,
and I’m still going to win,” Trakas said.
Although candidates turned in the
required signatures, it does not necessar
ily mean they will appear on the ballot.
Board of Elections members said they
will be going through the stacks of sig
natures during the next few days to
ensure that all petitions are valid.
“What complicates things is that a
student can only sign one petition for
any one office,” Tuchmayer said.
“That means that a student can only
sign one petition for student body pres
ident, but they can sign other petitions
for CAA president or senior class presi
dent.”
And Hill said the candidates’ peti
tions should be verified within a couple
of days. “We should have it finalized by
Thursday night or Friday morning.”
