See Page 2 www.dailytarheel.com Qatar Seminar Convenes for Ist Time Students participating in the one-credit course heard presentations about Muslim history in their first seminar. By Jeff Silver Staff Writer Students gathered Friday for the first of four seminars that will culminate in presentations to the chancellor about the establishment of a UNC satellite busi ness school campus in Doha, Qatar. The creation of the class, composed of 25 selected students, was proposed by Student Body President Justin Young Peach Picks Tar Heels After Win After North Carolina's 19-10 victory Saturday, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl invited the 7-5 Tar Heels to play an SEC team in the New Year's Eve game. Bv Rachel Carter Sports Editor With 2:39 left on the clock, the chant was going strong. “Peach Bowl, Peach Bowl” rang out from the student sections of Kenan Stadium as North Carolina’s football team capped off its victory against Southern Methodist on Saturday. Chancellor James Moeser walked around the side- lines with a small but detailed peach pin and shook hands with the three Peach Bowl executives attend ing Saturday’s game. And when the game was over, ngeyCHrtßQWiy Moeser and the Peach Bowl officials climbed on a makeshift stage with UNC Director of Athletics Dick Baddour, defensive end Julius Peppers, other players and the man of the hour, John Bunting, to announce that North Carolina will be playing in the Chick-fil- A Peach Bowl in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome on Dec. 31 at 7:30 p.m. The game will air on ESPN. “This is an outstanding selection for us,” said Gary Stokan, the bowl’s president. “Carolina has all the ele ments we’re looking for to create another great bowl game.” Last year, the Peach Bowl sold out its 73,614 tickets for the game between Georgia Tech and Louisiana State. North Carolina fans can get their tickets through the UNC Department of Athletics or from the Peach Bowl Web site. Tickets through the University go on sale 8 a.m. Monday at the Smith Center.

Professors Bob Adler and Holden Thorp lead the one-hour credit course. Students were separated into several small groups, each of which will give a presentation to Chancellorjames Moeser arguing for or against the proposal during the final class. Each group has complete discretion as to what stance it will take. Moeser, who initially rejected the notion that students should be involved in the decision, is expected to determine whether to pursue the satellite campus before the end of the year. Each group must also complete a 10- page paper arguing the same points as each presentation.

Friday’s session focused on Islam and the issues the Muslim world faces today. History Professor Sarah Shields and Duke religion Professor Ebrahim Moosa shared their expertise with participants. Moosa, who did not share an opinion on the proposal with the group, said he hoped to give students “1,400 years of history in five minutes.” He described how Muslims were innovators in philos ophy and science long before Europe came to the forefront. Shields echoed Moosa, saying Christopher Columbus was able to go on his voyage because of the work of Muslim minds. She added that because of the Ottoman Empire, Muslims con 1 More Game: UNC Tops SMU, Earns Right to Keep on Playing By Rachel Carter Sports Editor With eight seconds left in the North Carolina- Southern Methodist football game, UNC defensive end Julius Peppers rushed Mustang quarterback David Page and slammed him to the ground. It seems all too appropriate that Peppers would be the one to finish the Tar Heels’ regular season, and do so in such a definitive manner. He is, after all, the only unanimous All-ACC selection of the season, one of UNC’s most explosive and domi- nating players in the program’s history and the focal point - at least in opponents’ eyes -of the Tar Heel defense. And it was the last game of his UNC career at Kenan Stadium. “I think that was a pretty fitting thing for my last game in Kenan Stadium,” Peppers said. “You know, it really Much effort, much prosperity.

But Americans do not recognize these accomplishments, Shields said. “We see backward people needing help." Shields said she is opposed to the UNC-Qatar initiative because she sees the program as colonialist. Many Qataris see American education as yet another unwanted Western influence, Shields said. Shields said she also is opposed to the proposal because 70 percent of the Qataris who will be educated at UNC’s school would be from the ruling class of natives, which makes up 20 percent of the population. These students will receive a free education, she said. The other 80 percent of the popula tion is made up of guest workers from Football SMU 10 UNC 19 Parker Drives Tar Heels To Win In 2nd Half See Page 7 4 h neighboring countries who have no rights and can never become Qatari cit izens, Shields said. These students would have to pay for part of their education at UNC’s campus and would make up only 30 percent of the student body. Student response to the first session was positive. Senior Lucy Pearce said she was impressed with the class because it presented both sides of the issue. Young also said he was impressed with the diversity of perspectives and ideas offered at the first class. He said he looks forward to the feedback students could give to the chancellor. “I’m really excited.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu. hasn’t set in that that was my last game at Kenan yet." When Peppers slammed Page to the ground, he sealed the Tar Heels’ postseason fate. The “North Carolina 19, Southern Methodist 10” blazing off the scoreboard meant one thing for the Tar Heels: Peach Bowl. With the win, the Tar Heels (7-5,5-3 in the ACC) were invited to -and accepted -a bid to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome on Dec. 31. On Dec. 9, they find out which Southeastern Conference team they face. Although UNC had the game well in hand before Page was sacked, the Mustangs did their best to provide the Tar Heels with plenty of tense moments. With North Carolina holding a 7-0 lead going into the second half, the Mustangs kicked off to UNC’s Kevin Knight, who returned the ball for 12 yards before fumbling. SMU’sJustin Williams recovered the ball on the UNC 12. On the first down, Page handed off to SMU leading rush er ShanDerrick Charles, who scampered in for the touch down. A mere six seconds elapsed in the scoring drive.

The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan - American bombers pummeled Kandahar, the Taliban’s last stronghold, to open the way for tribal fighters preparing to storm the nearby airport as U.S. Marines on Sunday patrolled the sur- rounding deserts. Refugees who fled Kandahar for neighboring Pakistan said attacks by U.S. B- 52 bombers and other warplanes were heavy and relentless. Fighters from Pashtun tribes were waiting out the heavy wave of bom bardment before resuming an assault on the airport. “We’re not in any rush,” said Mohammed Anwar, an ally of Gul Agha, the former governor of Kandahar whose fighters held positions on a strategic road between the city and Spinboldak, another Taliban outpost targeted by airstrikes. Anti-Taliban forces claimed U.S. bombing raids had mistakenly destroyed one of their headquarters in Afghanistan’s mountainous east early Sunday, killing at least eight people. There was no immediate comment from U.S. officials.
