Todd said statistics are tallied on a per capita basis so every team will have an equal chance of winning. The point total from the four categories will determine the first, second and third place winners. Todd said students can get involved by asking their area director about team activities and that resident assistants might also plan activities for residence halls. “The campus is a great place to focus because it is where students live and work,” he said. “We want to raise awareness of the effect living and work ing has on the environment.” In addition to group competitions, students also can enter individual com petitions. Students can decorate banners and posters to raise awareness about the Green Games and submit their banners to their area office. The subject matter is open to any conservation-related topic, and the deadline is March 8, with two $25 prizes available. Another individual competition is the conservation idea contest. Students can e-mail their ideas to the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling for resource management or energy and water con servation. The ideas can be general or related to the campus, and the deadline is April 12. The first place prize is $75 and the second place prize is SSO. Todd said Green Games is an annual event started in 1993 by Neil Buckley, a former member of the Student Environmental Action Coalition. The games were student-run until last year, when the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling took over. Participation is up from last year, when seven residence areas took part in the games, Todd said. “I’ve only been running it for the last two years, but par ticipation has grown every year,” he said. This year, there have been more requests for people to speak about the Green Games at RA’s meetings, requests for program ideas from the recycling office and team activities planned, Todd said. The Olde Campus Lower Quad held an early kickoff for Green Games on Sunday - students were admitted if they brought recyclable material, said lower quad Area Director Christopher Moody. Moody said students traded alu minum cans, newspapers and magazines for tickets to buy food or to bid in a silent auction. More than 1,000 recy clable goods were collected, averaging 30 goods per student, he said. “It was a great success, and the residents that came out really enjoyed it.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

Some Democrats have begun to raise questions about details of the conflict and have said they will demand answers when the administration issues its request for more money. “Before administration officials ask for billions of dollars in additional money this year, I expect them to tell Congress where we are headed in this war and what exit strategy is envisioned in Afghanistan,” said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Robert Byrd, D-W.Va.
