RALEIGH - Leaving the comforts
of Koury Natatorium behind and trav
eling to N.C. State to swim in a less
than-stellar facility didn’t seem to both
er the North Carolina women’s swim
ming and diving team very much.
The Tar Heels lost both of the diving
competitions but won all but one swim
ming event to beat the Wolfpack 191-
109 on Wednesday.
“The pool
is definitely
not what
we’re used
to,” said co
captain Janna
UNC 191
N.C. State 109
Turner. “It’s just part of staying focused.
No matter what the pool’s like or who
you’re racing next to, you have to
remember what you’re here for.”
The Tar Heels (8-1, 3-0 in the ACC)
weren’t in Raleigh to get their best
times, which is hard after a full day of
classes and a difficult few weeks of train
ing; they were there to beat the
Wolfpack (5-6, 1-4).
“We’re always glad to beat N.C.
State,” said UNC coach Frank Comfort.
“Tonight was a racing night. I wasn’t as
concerned about times as how people
raced.
“We’re really gearing up for Virginia,
and in the meantime we don’t want to
make any mistakes against State, or
upcoming with Clemson.”
The Tar Heels won the first and last
events of Wednesday’s meet: the 200-
yard medley relay and the 400-yard
freestyle relay in times of 1 minute,
48.74 seconds and 3:32.69, respec
tively.
UNC also had a slew of individual

visas not because they’re problems but

complicated,” Luse said. The Enhanced
Border Security and Visa Entry Reform
Act, enacted in May 2002, allows the
FBI to review visa applications from
countries on a U.S. list'of nations that
sponsor terrorism. Cuba made the list.

tion studies. “I’m looking forward to see
ing other films, especially foreign ones.”
“The Planets” is a stylized portrayal
of the solar system, which is presented
through a unique method of still-frame
animation developed by Talenti over
the past seven years.
“The film is psychedelic, but you
don’t have to be on drugs to have a psy
chedelic experience,” Talenti said.
The film has been accepted into the
festival’s “Frontier” category, reserved
for the most experimental and uncon
ventional works submitted.
“The Planets" is the second of
Talenti’s works to be showcased at
Sundance, the first being a two-minute
animated short film called “Partita” that
she presented in 1990.
Despite her past acceptance into the
festival, Talenti was by no means certain
that her latest work would be chosen.
“I’ve submitted other works since
‘Partita’ and had numerous rejections,”
she said. “I just applied to the festival
and I was surprised to be accepted.
“I don’t think it’s likely to win
because it’s too unusual and the winner
(of the category) is usually live-action

Other North Carolina winners were

time of 10:25.36, Virginia Hanson in the

This victory keeps the UNC women
undefeated in the ACC.
“It’s a good feeling (being unbeaten
so far), and I’d like to keep it,” Weeks
said. “It’s impressive.”
Despite the win, the Tar Heels are
focusing on their upcoming meets, espe
cially the one against Virginia, their
toughest rival in the ACC.
“It’s really cool to say that we’re
undefeated in the ACC,” Turner said.
“We have our toughest meet coming
up next weekend against UVa., so as
long as we just stay confident, but not
too overconfident, I think we can
achieve our goals next weekend too."

instituted very quickly and quickly cre
ated problems for a lot of artists,” said
Matt Livengood, marketing and design
coordinator for the Carolina Union.
Once Valdes had his visa in hand, he
and his agent were eager to reschedule
the canceled performances -much to the
delight of the Carolina Union, Luse said.
“We feel lucky that there was this
opportunity and we were able to have
him,” he said.
Valdes will be joined by a trio of
drums, bass and percussion. His musical
narration,” she said. “I’m confident, but
my film is competing with 90 others.”
Talenti’s substantial work in film has
taken her across the country. She received
her master’s degree from the University of
Southern California and went on to work
on short films in the Los Angeles area She
then taught film at the University of Texas-
Austin before coming to UNC.
Despite her background, Talenti’s
influences are diverse, ranging from
Buster Keaton to Duke Ellington to Leo
Tolstoy to Johann Sebastian Bach.
“I have respect for other filmmakers,
but I’m not quite sure that they have as
much influence on what I do as some
one like Buster Keaton, whom I love,"
she said.
Talenti has finished work on her lat
est project, “Poetry In Motion,” and
“The Planets” may soon see screen time
beyond Sundance. She is in talks with
two distributors with whom she will
negotiate further at the festival.
Inspired by her vision, Talenti advis
es budding artists to stay true to their
aspirations.
“Follow your heart,” she said. “It’s
another cliche, I know, but I believe in
it.”

Gymnasts Seek to Build on EAGL Title
By Brian MacPherson
Assistant Sports Editor
There were a few extra steps and a
few wobbles at the gymnastics presea
son scrimmage Friday, but for the most
part solid routines, loud cheering and
bright smiles were the order of the day
for the defending East Atlantic
Gymnastics League champions.
This display of enthusiasm betrayed an
eagerness to begin formal competition
this season, but it also revealed the Tar
Heels’ greatest strength: team spirit
Whether moving mats into place or
shouting words of encouragement to each
other, each member possesses a team-first
attitude that will be crucial in what might
seem to be an individual sport
“It’s the way our team is made up,”
said senior Fritzie Cathcart. “We’re so
close, and we cheer for each other, and
we hang out together.”
Said senior Natalie Halbach, “There’s
always an internal focus for the team so
you’re never just thinking about yourself
but what you can do to help the next
person who’s up.”
Cathcart and Halbach, two of the
team’s four seniors, lead a confident group
into what will be a challenging schedule,
which begins Thursday at the George
Washington Invitational.
“We’ve got a lot of big meets with
high-level competition, and that’s where
this team needs to be,” said UNC coach
Derek Galvin. “They need to be up
against tough teams in front of large
crowds because we’ve got that kind of tal
ent and kind of difficulty in our routines.”
The Tar Heels are a formidable unit
in all four major areas of competition. In
vault, which could be the team’s
strongest event, twelve athletes have the
capability to take spots in the lineup.
Sophomore Amy Williams holds the
school vault record, and sophomore
Olivia Trusty earned all-conference hon
style infuses his African and Cuban
roots with American jazz. “It’s just a
great opportunity for people in this area
to see someone they haven’t had the
chance to see before,” Luse said.
Valdes’ visit will include a lecture and
demonstration, which is still in the
works, Luse said. “He was going to do a
master class and talk about music," he
said. “There will be some sort of educa
tional component with him.”
Having to reschedule Valdes turned out
to be “not such a bad thing,” Livengood

ors in 2002.
Floor exercise will also be an area of
strength for UNC. Juniors Anna Wilson
and Maddy Curley were all-conference
last season, and both have added new
challenging elements to their routines.
“Anna Wilson and Maddy Curley are
two of the most intense competitors I’ve
ever coached,” Galvin said. “You put
them in front of spectators and they kick
it up to another level.”
Galvin expects much of the team’s
scoring to come from the floor and the
vault, but UNC has improved in other
areas as well. Halbach added a unique
dismount to her all-conference balance
beam routine and Curley, Wilson and
sophomore Elisabeth Alsop have the
ability to contribute in that event.
On the uneven bars, increased depth
has led to a stronger rotation. Cathcart
and Trusty return as point-scorers, and
Curley and Alsop added new levels of
difficulty to already strong routines.
At Friday’s scrimmage, several team
members struggled with new technical ele
ments in their routines - elements that, if
mastered, would create a higher point
potential in all four areas of competition.
“We’ve got a little more difficulty in
the routines this year than we did last
year, so it’s going to take a little bit
longer to gain consistency and get our
execution on those skills at the level we
want,” Galvin said.
With a stronger and deeper lineup
than the team that won the EAGL
championship last season, the returning
team members have set an even higher
goal for themselves: a berth in the
NCAA national tournament.
“We can definitely make that hap
pen,” Halbach said. “We know that it’s
there, and we can grab it, and we’re
ready to go get it."

an extra show to the arts series. Ray

jazz act filled in for Valdes in October.
“Hopefully people are happier with
having two jazz shows," Livengood said.
