GUjp Daily (Tar Hwl SUMMER READING From Page 3 sages from it or if the reading had been voluntary. Moffit said requiring students to read the text itself violates the rules set forth by the Supreme Court about sacred texts at publicly funded universities and organizations. Moeser said it is better for students to read the actual Quran rather than texts about it because, from a scholarly point of view, it is always preferable to go to the original sources. He said this book is ideal because it is written by a scholar and makes the Quran much easier to understand. Moeser said that students who object to the readings have the option to write an essay explaining their objections in lieu of reading the book but that they are still supposed to attend the discussion. The summer reading requirement has been called “a largely unenforceable requirement” in the past because stu dents are not graded on the assignment and there is no penalty for refusing to do the reading. But Moffit said arguments that the reading is not really mandatory because students are not graded and can be exempted if they voice an objection are insufficient because students are still being coerced to read the book. “How many freshman coming into college are going to be able to tell the FINANCIAL AID From Page 3 Ort said UNC-CH already allocates 90 to 95 percent of its scholarship and student aid for need-based programs and sets aside 35 percent of all campus-initi ated tuition increases for need-based aid. But Ort said a systemwide tuition increase approved last spring by the UNC-system Board of Governors will not set aside revenue to provide addi tional aid, which she said might force more students to take out federal loans. The increase - 8 percent for in-state students and 12 percent for out-of-state students - still needs to be approved by SHEARON HARRIS From Page 3 water. “Even if there was some sort of inci dent with the shipment, the public would not be at any risk from material that is inside those containers,” Poston said.

The University ranked 20th in Best Value, 33rd in Best Academic Facilities, 27th in Best Freshman Housing, 26th in Highest Academic Standards and second in Hot and Trendy schools. “1 think this is the best we have ever done,” Lucido said. “There is only one place left to move up.” Categories that UNC did not rank in were Hidden Treasures, Best Career Services, Parties and Pranks and Revenge of the Nerds Schools. UNC ranked second only to Harvard in the Hot and Trendy category. Hot and Trendy schools were described as schools that were most popular among high school students. Duke University ranked third in this category. “I think the University has always SVB OEumm I 157 E. ROSEMARY ST. (UPSTAIRS) 942-6903 30 Taps! 100 Different Bottled Beers!

In May, the chancellor’s office was flooded with e-mails and phone calls protesting the book after it was featured on a conservative radio show and the American Civil Liberties Union called the choice “constitutionally fishy.” Moeser said he received a second wave of e-mails after Fox News did a piece on the controversy and that the e mails he receives are often hate-filled, including one that told him he was “doing the work of Satan and will perish in the lake of fire.” But Moeser said he has received some supportive e-mails too. Moeser said the University is accused of being disloyal and un-American because it is asking challenging ques tions and compared the recent attacks on the University to a witchhunt. UNC also came under fire in September after faculty members spon sored a teach in attacking the United States’ position on terrorists. Moeser said he thinks critics such as the Family Policy Network are misinter preting the University’s mission. “The job of the University is to open doors and turn on the lights to dispel the shadows of fear and bias and hatred."

But Ort said that because 75 percent of UNC-CH’s merchandising revenues are used for need-based financial aid, she is optimistic that nearly 100 percent of need will be met for this year’s incoming class. She said the committee’s report will call attention to the issue of financial aid and make it easier in the future for UNC CH and other public universities to lobby for need-based financial aid pro grams. “This study is going to help keep the focus on low-income students who have a real need for financial support.” The State & National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. would like to continue to store waste where it is generated under increased security.

But some University students said they do not think these rankings are sig nificant. Jeff Difranco, a mathematics graduate student, said he does not believe the rank ings mean a lot to incoming freshmen. “I never really paid much attention to those kinds of rankings,” Difranco said. The survey reported that UNC’s fresh man housing ranked 27th in the nation. Other students said they agreed with the findings. “I agree with the rating because as a freshman I had an ideal living situation,” senior Ashley Knight said. “I was assigned a room on North Campus and lived there two years because it was convenient in all aspects of the college experience.” Senior Kevin Carr also agreed. He lived in Ehringhaus Residence Hall his freshman year. “I can say that Carolina has some of the best facilities.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

But on the heels of the 1999 World Cup win, the Women’s United Soccer Association was bom. Now in its second season, the eight team WUSA’s impact is already seen in the college game. “I think the impact is more players are working harder,” said North Carolina women’s soccer coach Anson Dorrance. “There’s an additional incen- Thornton Signs With Indianapolis Colts From Staff Reports Linebacker David Thornton, a fourth-round draft choice from North Carolina, signed with the Indianapolis Colts on July 10.

With the WUSA, he said, “Now there’s a wonderful opportunity for every kid who’s hard-working and ambitious." As the WUSA calls itself the “world’s premier women’s professional soccer league,” it must showcase premier tal ent, which it does with die likes of Tiffany Milbrett, Kristine Lilly and Mia Hamm. That talent, however, needs to be cul tivated, a task that falls on college and closed. Thornton joins defensive tackle David Pugh and running back Brian Allen as other Colts’ picks who have signed.

But it is a task Dorrance feels no additional pressure to fulfill. “We’ve always had tremendous pride in player development,” Dorrance said. “We’re always in the luxurious position of recruiting the most talented players.” That pride is evident in the following numbers - 17 national championships, 22 players on active rosters in the WUSA and six former Tar Heels on the national team. Although some European men’s clubs sign players at young ages - Landon Donovan signed with German giant Bayer Leverkusen when he was just 16 - don’t look for that to happen in the WUSA. “The only way a kid would sign early or leave school early would be if she were a very weak student,” Dorrance said. “The incentive to scrap your educa tion ... isn’t there,” he said. Nor are the bloated salaries found sacks in 11 starts last year. Chacos Arrested July 10, Charged With DWI Brian Andrew Chacos, a rising sophomore on the North Carolina foot ball team who should compete for play ing time at tight end this upcoming sea son, was arrested July 10 and charged with driving while impaired and con suming alcohol as a minor, according to The (Raleigh) News & Observer. Chacos was arrested at 3:37 a.m. at 210 Columbia St. in Chapel Hill, according to a police report. The 19- year-old Chacos was released on a writ ten promise to appear Aug. 20 in Orange County District Court in Chapel Hill. “We will take the appropriate disci plinary measures once the case com pletes the judicial process,” Tar Heels coach John Bunting told The News & Observer. “My policy is that anyone convicted of a DUI will be suspended for at least one game.” Reports state that Chacos had a mod erate odor of alcohol and did poorly on field sobriety tests.
