Not to suck up, but to know what to expect,” she said. And once she knows the expecta tions, Green said she is disciplined By Popular Demand!

CHOOSE LIFE (DEUT. 30:19) “The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society Our belief in the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. In our society human life is under direct attack from abortion and assisted suicide. The value of human life is being threatened by the increasing use of the death penalty We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.” U.S. Catholic Bishops # NEWMAN CATHOLIC STUDENT CENTER PARISH JU IpL 218 Pittsboro Street H m 929-3730 j www.newman-chapelhill.org enough to follow through. Growing up in a military household, she is used to motivating herself to get things done. “It was very disciplined. You’d swear my parents had done it before,” she said. “We had a set of rules that didn’t have to be communi cated, but you knew they were there.” With Spanish, English, math, anthropology and African-American studies classes last semester and more Spanish, English, jazz and African studies classes this semester, Green has a schedule that is all about getting From Page Three schoolwork done during the week so Saturday and Sunday are free and clear. “I’m going out on the weekend. I’m not going to lie,” she said. “During the week, I can’t handle it.” But the weekend isn’t only for hit ting house parties. It’s just about not doing work. “It’s my policy. I do all my work during the week,” she said. The weekend is reserved for Aletha time. “I just want to make sure week ends are time for me to relax." Or play Super Nintendo. Super Mario Brothers 3 or Street Fighter, to be exact. “I’m not very good,” she said, but recalls beating a trash-talking classmate as a highlight. “I suck at Street Fighter, but I did beat Lee." But whether it’s a game vs. Street Fighter’s Ryu or Maryland’s women’s volleyball team, Green is all about working on her skills. “I like going on the court. I like working hard,” she said. And as far as her contributions to the team: “I’m building up to a playing role,” Green said. “I’m getting there.” Green said fans make her playing that much more intense. “If you’re in a gym and no one’s there you just feel like there’s no support - like you’re just left / * —s Your projectile roomy spews last night’s trash can punch ni N i K i 7 and what looks to be a peas and carrots medley into your #l*l bathroom sink.

She catches baseball games, tennis matches and even a bit of gym nastics when she can. “It’s important to support other teams,” she said. “It’s kind of like a community. You just don’t put them out there. You’ve got to support them. They’re representing North Carolina just like you are.” Because the athlete role has its perks (like the room in Parker Residence Hall), Green said she gets the “Oh, you’re an athlete” phrase from students every once in a while. “I hope they’re not serious,” she said. “They don’t care.” Because like Green said, it’s not all about athletics all the time - she’s here to get that education. Just don’t count on her finalizing that major any time soon. “After last semester, I decided I did n’t want to be a business major - after Math 22,” she said. But Spanish is a consistent academic interest of hers. As far as after UNC, Green is playing with the possibility of joining the mili tary before going to graduate school.
