Stfjp Daily <sar HM MEN S BASKETBALL From Page 1 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.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

FORUM From Page 1 of social justice. 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 Fling to unite the campus and provide SEATING From Page 1 not optimistic. “I think the current 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 think the alumni should suck it up and RACE RELATIONS From Page 1 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, From Page One an opportunity for organizations to raise funds. Baker said her definition of social jus tice includes better treatment of house keepers. Young said he will “advocate and empower people who have missed out on a lot of opportunities.” He said his platform includes a pub lic service committee that will be a ser vice for these students. Audience members were allowed to ask five questions directed at three can didates of their choice. give it as a gift to Carolina basketball,” 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 how you look and even how you think, she said. ■ 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 cussion on race relations.

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.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. 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."

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.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. 5
