Sports Celebration still controversial BY AARON Fin SENIOR WRITER Don’t think Duke has forgotten Dan Omer’s celebration last year. After making a game-winning 49-yard field goal, the North Carolina kicker sprinted across the field at Wallace Wade Stadium and into the giant, inflatable Duke football helmet at the other end. His teammates mobbed him, and the helmet collapsed around them. There was a sentiment in Durham that the celebration was disrespectful. UNC coach John Bunting said the entire scene was a surprise to him. “I was in shock,” Bunting said Tuesday at his weekly press confer ence. “I had no idea any of this was going to happen or w'as happening. I was filing my way onto the field to congratulate some players and look for (former Duke coach) Carl (Franks), and then on the way back to see our fans and our band, I got donked with some Gatorade, which shocked the hell out of me, too. At that point. I’m really out of it. “I heard later on that that had happened, and obviously I was very disappointed that it had hap pened. It’s not very respectful, but I can understand that sometimes kids act like kids and do some silly things.” Bunting said he called Duke’s director of football operations afterward and apologized for the destruction of the helmet. “I said we would pay for the hel met, and to this day I still will,” Bunting said. “All right? My wallet is open. I will pay for it.” Omer said he was upset at him self for missing two field goals and an extra point in the game, so after fOR TH I r ( o I't t RijUlMi t itWliStaim Summer School Abroad Registration Continues Through March 8 Apply early - spaces are limited 2—5 week programs in 15 different locations www. unc. edu/ summer Summer School *134 East Franklin Street • 2nd floor 919-966-4364 Study Abroad. International Education Week, November 17-21 There are approximately 1200 international students who study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and nearly 350 undergraduates studying abroad this semester. The Study Abroad Office wishes to recognize the international exchange students who are currently I "abroad" here in Chapel Hill through the College of Arts and Sciences undergraduate exchange programs. Their presence enriches our campus, teaches us about other cultures and other ways, and opens doors for Carolina students to study abroad at the institutions from which they come. Their homes are in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. They had the courage to come many miles to another country, another culture, to live and study with us for a short time.

He said he was celebrating on the sideline and too tired to run to the other end of the field, but he wanted to jump on the helmet with his teammates. But Terry said he could identify with the Duke players who were upset with the celebration. “I could see where they’re com ing from,” Terry said. “It’s kind of the same way the guys stomped on our emblem three years ago w'hen State beat us here, so I can respect where they're coming from.” But Orner said that he didn’t intend to insult Duke and that the gesture was mostly spontaneous. “I don’t feel like I’m a disre spectful guy,” Omer said. “I respect both universities. The kick was a good way for our team to end last season, going into winter condi tioning on a positive note and also to help out recruiting. I was fortu nate enough to help out the team to achieve that.” The coach has his own theory about why Omer ran to the helmet. Bunting joked, “Probably his head got so big he thought he could put it on.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.
