(Thr Hattg (Ear Hrri UNC looks to rebound from loss BY ALICIA JONES STAFF WRITER Resilience. It’s what every team needs if it wants to recover from a tough loss. And the North Carolina volley ball team will need to exhibit some of it following Friday’s 3-0 loss to Florida State. Every loss this late in the season hits hard as the team gets closer to the ACC Tournament and, it hopes, the NCAA playoffs. The loss knocked the Tar Heels to 17-9 overall and 8-4 in the ACC. The Seminoles kept the Tar Heels to six stops, ending their streak of double-digit kills. The team wasn't able to get into a rhythm early in the game, according to outside hitter Dani Nyenhuis. “It’s hard to play without every one playing well,” she said. “We LAST DAY FROM PAGE 1 for municipal elections. For the 2000 presidential elec tion, about 9,000 voters took advantage of the program. Alderman candidate Steven Rose said early voting is not well known yet, a factor he said con tributed to the low turnout. The majority of candidates have said they anticipate low voter turnout because this is only a municipal election with five bonds. Council candidate Cam Hill said he expects voter turnout today to be low regardless of the number of early voters. He also said the voters who do head out to the polls today will be informed voters. “The people who vote are going to be informed, and I think that’s DISTRICT TAX FROM PAGE 1 sick of taxes," he said. “I’m not going to vote for it. I can’t.” Board member Libbie Hough reiterated Copeland’s sentiments, adding that the problem with the district tax lies in the link between the school districts and how they are funded. Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools’ MEASURE FROM PAGE 1 the first phase. Waldrop said he thinks the increased amount of money is due to the greater amount of work the center will complete and the expansion of USAID’s overall goal. SENATE FROM PAGE 1 and around the world.” The plan allocates almost $65 billion for military expenses, $18.6 billion for Iraq rebuilding efforts and $1.2 billion for reconstruction in Afghanistan. Hood said the majority of the funding is going to military expenses because the United States wants to achieve its original objective: a democratic rebuilding of Iraq. This is a feat that cannot be achieved without a strong military presence, he said. “Unless there is a military force there, you can pour however much money you want into rebuilding and nothing will come of it,” he said. “We have an interest in the proj ect, and we want it to succeed. We entered with a purpose, and we’re going to leave a stable and a free government in our wake.” MERGER FROM PAGE 1 Cam Hill said. “You might as well talk about abortion rights or Iraq. ... (The merger’s) not that distant, but it’s along the same lines." Commissioner Barry Jacobs said discussion of a potential merger, which many local residents oppose, still is in the early stages and has been marked by hyperbole and mis understanding thus far. “It appears that a few candi dates for Chapel Hill have tried to affix their opposition to merger to their other platforms,” Jacobs said. “They may be looking for a lever for support, and people are cer tainly entitled to do that.” Some candidates have refuted the council’s inability to influence school system consolidation and have made opposition to the merg er a central part of their platforms. Candidate Terri Tyson has affixed “No Merger” stickers to her road way signs, and campaign fliers for candidate Dianne Bachman protesting the merger were handed out at public hearings on the issue. “Many citizens have asked me to please speak out against this,” Tyson said. The council can’t vote on the issue, Tyson added, but “maybe there’s something that can be done to bring about that vote.” Bachman stressed her duty to serve the town as a whole, and she missed a lot of serves and we didn’t pass well, which goes back to get ting in a steady rhythm.” The Tar Heels got off to a good start Friday, leading 2-1 before the Seminoles scored four straight kills. UNC trailed by 12 at one point during the game but wound up losing the first game, 30-21. The Tar Heels had a 25-24 lead in the second game, but the Seminoles answered with a kill, going on to win 30-27- The points went back and forth in the third game until the Tar Heels left two Seminole kills unan swered. The Seminoles took an 8-6 lead, and their advantage eventu ally grew to 14-9. North Carolina made a come back, cutting FSU’s lead to 22-20. But a Seminole scoring spree allowed them to take the game, 30- 25. good for me,” he said. Most candidates have geared up for a final day of campaigning by straightening signs, placing them at voting precincts and planning visits to polls throughout the day. Candidates Mark Chilton, Rose and Ward all said campaigning on Election Day can be a decisive fac tor since elections have been decid ed by a few votes in previous years. “I think there’s a lot of races and a lot of people,” Rose said. “It’s important to remind people you are the one they got a piece of lit erature from or the one they were going to vote for.” Last-day campaigning only influences voters who have not been informed throughout the campaign, McSwain said. “For people who follow the election, I don’t think last-minute campaign- supplementary tax enables the dis trict to petition the Orange County Board of Commissioners for less money per pupil each year than Orange County Schools needs. According to state law, Orange County must provide the two dis tricts with equal funding per stu dent. This link between the two districts causes Orange County Schools to walk away short most years. Part of this objective involves finding new techniques and analy sis to collect data.

John Edwards, D-N.C., stated in a Monday press release that although he believes the United States has a responsibility to help in the reconstruction effort, he does not think it is necessary to spend such a large amount of money. “Rebuilding Iraq will make the Middle East more stable and the American people more secure. But recognizing America's responsibil ity in Iraq cannot mean giving a blank check for President Bush.” Dole said additional funds must be spent to protect U.S. military forces. “Providing our men and women in uniform with the best equipment and resources needed to complete their mission and return home as soon as possible is essential.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I’m trying to focus on what the real issues are.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. From Page One The Tar Heels did not appear disheartened by the loss. A long practice Monday gave them a chance to hone their skills for the upcoming home game against Maryland. “I think it’s going to make us push that much harder because we have to get stuff done now,” Nyenhuis said. “That was the last loss we could take.” While the team has lost twice at home this season, it’s seen more wins and more intense game play in Carmichael Auditorium than on the road, which Coach Joe Sagula said he hopes will carry over for a home win Friday. The Terrapins recently captured a win against previously undefeat ed and fourth-ranked Georgia Tech. UNC last played Maryland in College Park, where the Tar Heels were defeated, 3-0. ing has much of an effect,” he said. In the homestretch of their cam paigns, candidates have turned to one-on-one conversations with res idents, on the phone and in person. Chilton said he went door-to door Monday in almost three quar ters of Carrboro neighborhoods. Face-to-face conversations are the most effective because voters realize that the candidate is “more than a piece of campaign litera ture,” Rose said. There are 81,291 registered vot ers and 43 voting precincts in Orange County. Voters only may vote at the precinct where they are registered to vote. Polls will be open today from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu. “(The systems) are inextricably linked at the hip," Hough said. Board member Delores Simpson advocated petitioning the BOCC for a public referendum on the district tax. “The people will ultimately decide whether they want the dis trict tax or not,” Simpson said.

USAID’s five major components: population and reproductive health; maternal health; child health; HIV and AIDS; and infec tious diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria. For each of the phases of MEA SURE, UNC officials are collabo rating with the Futures Group International Inc., John Snow Inc., Macro International Inc. and Tulane University. Sian Curtis, research associate professor of maternal and child health, is project director for Phase 11. “UNC has been especially involved in developing the tools,” said Barbara Entwisle, director of the Population Center. “The other institutions are more involved in technical assistance, such as showing people how to use these tools.” Entwisle said the second phase of the project will benefit the University by contributing to other projects and broadening the scope of education and research on cam pus. Waldrop also said the award will be beneficial to the long-term goals of the University. “Certainly it will no doubt enhance the reputation of the University that we’ve been chosen to receive such a magnitude of funding.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Insko discusses cuts, cap BY KAVITA PILLAI STAFF WRITER Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, spoke to UNC-Chapel Hill Young Democrats Monday night, cover ing issues facing the N.C. General Assembly from budget cuts that affect the University to redistrict ing that could determine the out come of state elections. Insko reminded the students that the budget passed in June reduced funding for the UNC sys tem by more than S6O million and imposed a 5 percent tuition hike to fund enrollment growth. The state provides about 25 per cent of the UNC system’s operating budget. She said that in order to pass this budget in a timely manner, legislators gave Gov. Mike Easley additional power to balance the budget in between sessions. “We essentially gave him the power of a line-item veto,” Insko said. Insko expressed concern that budget cuts affect not only stu dents, but faculty as well. This could make it difficult for UNC system schools to attract and retain quality faculty. “I really do think it’s time for the citizens of North Carolina to real ize the risk we're taking with these (Mix.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2003 i W jg§|§ m 1 i DTH/BRIAN CASSELLA UNC hitters Katie Wright (left) and Dani Nyenhuis struggled in the team's loss to Florida State. The Tar Heels play Maryland this Friday. “Legislators are protective of the mission of this university: to educate the sons and daughters of North Carolina.” REP. VERLA INSKO, d-orange cuts,” she said. Tuition will be a big issue on the agenda' once again when the General Assembly convenes in May. The proposal to raise the out of-state enrollment cap will also be a topic of debate, she said. Insko said that although many people would like to raise tuition for out-of-state students and main tain the current in-state tuition, this has not been done for fear of jeopardizing the reputation of high-quality, low-cost education provided at UNC-system schools. She also said that she is undecid ed on the enrollment cap issue but that she believes a raise would be unpopular in the General Assembly. “A lot of legislators are protec tive of the mission of this universi ty: to educate the sons and daugh ters of North Carolina,” Insko said. “And I think it’s a weak argument to say that no North Carolina student will be displaced.” Insko said she feels legislators have not come to a consensus about their feelings toward UNC-CH as the system’s flagship university. “There is a love-hate relationship that legislators have with Carolina,” she said. “Many of them just wish that all universities in the state could do what (UNC-CH does).” But having state leadership on the University’s side is crucial to maintaining its interests, she said. “It’s really important for (UNC system President) Molly Broad and (UNC-CH) Chancellor (James) Moeser to have a good working relationship with the leadership of the state,” she said. Another issue to be resolved soon is redistricting, which both the House and the Senate will address in a Nov. 25 special ses sion. Insko warned that Orange County might be in danger of los ing one of its House seats. Contact the State £? National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
