®l?p Daily QJar Mppl CAA Examines Ticket Distribution By Ashley Davidson Staff Writer JULY 12 - Carolina Athletic Association President Reid Chaney has been working this summer to keep his campaign promise to improve basket ball ticket distribution policy. One of Chaney’s platform goals in last year’s campaign was to relocate dis tributions from the Dean Smith Center to a more accessible place, like the Pit. But due to limited space and a large student body, Chaney and his adminis tration decided to revise their original plan. “We’re looking at Kenan Stadium,” Chaney said. “We don’t know if we can use Kenan because it’s used as a parking lot throughout the year.” Chaney said UNC ONE Cards will also play anew role in the process. MANDALA From Page 3A remains, Ackland security members car ried American and Tibetan flags as well as the mandala’s remains. While the gesture seemed more polit ical than spiritual, Matilisky said part of the reason the monks have showcased the mandala’s creation and dismantling was because many Tibetan monks were cast out of their home country due to Tibet’s tenuous political situation. She added that the the ceremony helps edu cate the American public about Tibet as well as provide the area a cultural event. great bites Power Crunches Power w Snack UOOURI ) T pump I Downtown Chapel Hill 106 W.

Chaney said he hopes the One Card scans will both diminish future problems and dispel accusations of cheating the system, which the CAA has faced in the past. “We’ll be able to scan your card and know if it’s been denied or not," Chaney said. “It’s a way to filter people in and out” Current One Card provisions come into play as a result of a bill passed last year by Student Congress.

Deshek then poured the sand into the water and finished the ceremony by dropping rose petals onto the water’s surface. It was a moving experience for the vast majority of the attendees. “It’s almost hard to talk about it because (the ceremony is) so much about emotion," said Carrboro resident Lorraine Lewis. “Underneath it all there was some kind of wholeness.” Elaine Hodge, who traveled from Greensboro for ceremony with mem- Welcome Back activity in the wake of allegations that the group provided privileged treatment to cabinet members and other groups in the distribution process. Basketball ticket distribution, howev er, is not the only thing CAA officials are trying to improve upon for the upcoming year. Mike Kuhn, director of CAA ticket distribution, said that other athletic and student needs are also being examined. “We’re still debating some other changes in riser format and in making the lottery pool more public,” Kuhn said. Kuhn said that changes should be ready by this basketball season. “Sometime in August or September, [the CAA] will be posting an ad reveal ing the new plans,” Kuhn said.

As everyone walked away, the pale pink dust and scattered rose petals were the only evidence the mandala ever existed.

Most importantly, don’t walk alone at night.” For many students, this assault is rem iniscent of the “BOLO” assaults that took place in August 1999.

Stone, whose ideals it seeks to uphold, the BCC has offered scholarly, cultural and social programs that further the understanding of African and African-American issues since 1988. In April, University administrators, officials, students and families gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new, free-standing BCC building. The groundbreaking ended a long, some times controversial struggle, and fulfilled one of the BCC’s longtime objectives. The center, currently situated in the Student Union, is scheduled to move into the $9 million dollar building in 2003. Jordan said the free-standing center would be a positive move for the BCC. Alvarez-Ramos also occurred near the Coker Arboretum. Alvarez-Ramos was eventually arrest ed as a result of a composite sketch issued by police. University officials are committed to keeping the campus as safe as pos sible. “(This assault) is appalling,” said Provost Robert Shelton. “We have to do everything we can to assure that we have the highest level of security on campus.” Geoff Wessel can be reached at vrooom@emaii.unc.edu. Natalie Harrison can be reached at nharriso@email.unc.edu. “In the symbolic sense, (the free standing BCC) honors a very, very revered teacher and scholar,” Jordan said. “And hopefully (it) will inspire sim ilar accomplishment on the part of stu dents and other faculty and staff. “On the other hand, it offers some thing very practical, a place with serious cultural work and intellectual inquiry,” he added. BCC Information and Communications Specialist Lorie Clark said the staff at the center is dedicated to Stone’s mission, and is creating a space that would enhance academic and intel lectual dialogue to highlight the African American experience. “For students of color, it is a place they can be proud of,” she said. “It is (the University’s) goal to be the premier academic and cultural institution in the Southeast region.” Student Body President Justin Young said the appointment of a permanent BCC director will be a great step for Maui Smooth?^ A Taste Of Paradise i Maui Smootliff 39£s£ f if I A Taste Of Plaradis* Smoothie of the Week) expires 8/31/Olj 125 East Franklin St. • 969-8886 Kirkpatrick’s Full Service Bar & Grill Serving lunch and dinner Q Pitcher of Domestic Beer & - a Basket of Wings for $10.95 1 j Wide Selection of Wine J I|| & Bottled Beer kt y j Full Late Night Menu All .ABC Permits 108 Henderson St. Mon-Sat llam-2am • Sunday -t:3opm-2am f~We’re Buy One!

Young said he interviewed some of the 30 finalists for the position. “Selection criteria were for individuals that were outgoing, their understanding of the BCC and their vision of what the BCC could be.” He said he hopes that the new director will shed new light on what the BCC can mean to the University community, and that Jordan will remain true to the cen ter’s established traditions and ideology. He said the center will benefit the entire University by organizing events such as lectures, exhibitions and perfor mances that will bring students from all cultural backgrounds together. “I think it proves to be a very educa tional center,” Young said. “It’s a place for all students, not just black students.” Ama Boaten can be reached at boaten6@hotmail.com. 5A
