Cancer Awareness Week Offers
Opportunities to Get Involved
CCF has teamed up with Locks of Love
By Kate Harrington
Staff Writer
The Carolina Cancer Focus is offer
ing several opportunities for students to
raise awareness of the deadly disease -
from cutting their hair to honoring vic
tims with luminaries.
The group kicked off Cancer
Awareness Week - Sept. 23-26 - at
Cat’s Cradle with Weekend Excursion
and Carbon Leaf playing to a sold-out
crowd Friday night.
CCF members has made the week an
important part of their organization
since it was founded, said senior Jamie
Shuster, president
of the organiza
tion.
Junior Wallace
Simpson, educa
tion chairman of
CCF, was in
charge of organiz
ing Cancer
Awareness Week.

encourage the student body to become
more aware of a disease that can direct
ly or indirecdy affect everyone,” he said.
Students are invited to participate in
each of the events being held this week.
One of the most unique opportunities
to get involved is through Locks of
Love. CCF has teamed up with the
Locks of Love program to ask students
to donate their hair to help make wigs
for cancer patients undergoing
ELECTIONS

ate students living off campus.
In the past week, Congress has seen
the number of empty seats rise because
of various resignations and expulsions.
Richter said she is not sure whether
all the vacancies will be filled after
today’s special election.
“I think that we have done more to
publicize this special election than othlr
ones in the past,” she said. “It is my sin
cere hope that it is a competitive race,
but I don’t know for sure.”
To raise awareness about the open
seats, the Graduate and Professional
Student Federation has been working to
raise interest in Congress, Larson said.
“(Congress is) working with GPSF to
get the word out to grad students,” he
said. “The most effective way is for
someone on Congress to find someone
else to run.”
If any Congress seats remain empty
after the election, another election will be
held in 30 days as mandated by the
Student Code, Larson said. Student Body
President Jen Daum must continue to call
special elections until all seats are filled.
The Board of Sections can monitor
the results of the election throughout the
day, Richter said. She said the winners
will be informed of the results late tonight.
Richter said she hopes there will be a
large voter turnout.
“With the issues facing students today,
it is important that all students realize the
power of Congress to speak on their
behalf and act on the issues about which
they are concerned,” she said. “Therefore,
I encourage all students to vote.”

chemotherapy treatment.
Shuster and 32 other women have
signed up to have their hair cut off at
noon Friday in the Pit. Students who
would like to donate their hair must
have at least 10 inches to spare.
Senior Amanda Stilley, president of
the Panhellenic Council, was
approached by a member of the Locks
of Love organization and encouraged to
have her hair cut for the program.
Stilley said she recently found out
that someone her family knows well has
cancer so she felt compelled to help out.
“I can grow my hair back out, but she
can’t,” she said. “This is for a great
cause, and I can’t
think of of another
reason I would cut
my hair.”
But students
don’t have to chop
their hair off to be
involved.
On Monday,
volunteers made
Halloween decora
tions for the local
Ronald McDonald House. The decora
tions will be delivered to the house Oct.
11.
Today, students will tour the women
and children’s wing of the hospital at 4
p.m. The group will meet in die Pit at
3:40 p.m. and then walk over to the hos
pital together.
Later in the evening, students will
talk with fellow undergraduates who
survived cancer. The program will begin

oil and said she hopes the United States
will adopt a “no blood for oil” stance.
“What right do we have to control their
resources?” she said. “This is the most un-
American thing you can think of.”
Lenore Yarger ignited the crowd with
her call to help Iraqi citizens rather than
focus on the actions of the Iraqi govern
ment. “My call stands with the poor and
oppressed rather than with die empire.”

Loretta Higgins, Pearce’s cousin,
remembered the tenacity for life and
ambitious goals that Pearce had even as
a child.
Higgins remembers Pearce once
comforting one of his two twin sisters,
who both died of cystic fibrosis.
“‘Listen, don’t you worry. I’m going
to make it better and find a cure,’”
Higgins recalled Pearce saying.
And Pearce worked toward that
promise with determination.
With medical Professor James
Yankaskas, Pearce worked in his lab
studying the quantitative morphology of
cystic fibrosis in the lungs.
“I have no doubt that had he contin
ued on that path of research, he would
have found that cure in time,” Higgins
said.
The same words to describe Pearce
were heard again and again: humane,
dedicated, caring, highly regarded, goal
driven and, most of all, compassionate.
Throughout his life, Pearce left his

“DNA” Chell warmed up.
“This is the part that really sucks,”
Butler said. “We come in here to record
about seven minutes of track and end up
waiting half the day before we even start”
Chell spent the majority of the time
toying with the tunes of his guitar synth
whde Schreier was
readying mics,
cords and sound
boards. The same
five notes purred
out of the padded
room more than a
hundred times
over as Chell’s fin

and down the

each chord he tweaked a knob, only to
turn it back after the next practice run.
“The more that I play with the way
the effects are set the better it will end
up sounding in the end,” he said. “If I
have to spend all day in here getting it
just right, then I will sit here all day.”
Once everything was finally in place,
however, ready-made tracks didn’t
exactly spill out of the speakers like per
fect gems from the first attempt.
Members argued over the way one
bridge should sound or the way one
instrument should layer onto the next
while Schreier demanded cut after cut.
Out of every 10 attempts, only one or
two would be saved, and Schreier need
ed several for editing.

The process was like building a tower
out of toothpicks, tedious and frustrat
ing, collapsing under any missed cym
bal crash or botched trumpet blast.
“The studio is the complete opposite
of the stage,” Brandau said. “It is hard
because you have to capture the energy
of the stage in a flawless form.
“It is as much sitting around working
on five seconds of a 3 1/2 minute song
as it is playing - if not more.”
After more than
12 hours in the stu
dio - filled with
playing, mixing,
building, editing,
changing, replay
ing, rerecording
and remixing - the
members were
strained and the
atmosphere tense.
But whenever tem-
pers flared and members began to feud,
DJ Pez would scratch samples of female
orgasms and Greenlee would do his worst
DMX impression - relieving the tension
and reminding them of their goals.
The result was a pair of powerful cuts
that will, they hope, blow away old fans
and draw in new followers. “Down by
Law” burst out as a raw and multilay
ered unchained beast, energetic but
carefully structured -a bold blend of

stage and studio sound.
“Do the Do," on the other hand, was
a chilled, romantic night out at a club
with a solid bass backbone, slow,
smoothed rhymes and rolling guitar
synth - all without demeaning women.
Eventually, both Schreier and
Sankofa walked out happy. Each song
can give the listeners and the band
exactly what they want - radio labels
will get a demo with breakthrough
potential, and Sankofa will keep true to
itself.
“As much freedom as I give to the
producer, I will never change my sub
ject matter,” Greenlee said. “Right now
what is popular is not what I am spittin’
out, but when people get sick of hearing
about bling, bling and Bentleys and lis
tening to something true, I will be ready.
“Whenever the world is ready, I will be
waiting with a notebook full of rhymes.”
But he might end up waiting a while
given the band’s stubborn refusal to sell
short its artistic integrity.
“There is a formula to make a radio
single. It is hard to do that giving up
what we sound like and just pumping
out ‘lt’s getting hot in here,’” he said.
“We are working hard to stay true to
ourselves, to stay Sankofa.”
