Much of the lobbying efforts were devoted to minimizing the amount of the budget cuts to UNC-system schools. “Through communication with the (UNC-system Association of Student Governments) we have become ambassadors for the UNC-system,” he said. Calabria also recently took a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with N.C. senators and congress men. His discussions focused on national issues that affected North Carolina higher education such as Pell Grants and Stafford loans. “Certainly budget issues are the most pertinent, most pressing and probably the most important issues out there,” Calabria said. “It is our job to demonstrate how important a priority higher education is.” Contact the University Editor at vdesk@unc.edu.

All rights reserved News New shop skips on Franklin BY CATHERINE SHAROKY STAFF WRITER With another local business opening its doors away from downtown Chapel Hill, the appeal of Franklin Street as a family friendly business location is in question. Lickity Split, a brightly-colored, ice cream and hot dog shop locat ed at 503 Meadowmont Village Circle, held its grand opening Friday amidst a crowd of 30 peo ple. Store owner Michael Rosenbacher said that he “didn’t even consider” Franklin Street as a location for Lickity Split. “Chapel Hill is growing out of downtown,” said Rosenbacher, a native of Chapel Hill and a 1988 UNC graduate. “Not everyone wants to go to Franklin Street.” Rosenbacher’s family-owned The Hub Ltd., a men’s clothing store which was located on Franklin Street from 1959-1996. Rosenbacher said that the Meadowmont area is more family friendly than Franklin Street, and that one can “walk down the street with ease” in Meadowmont. Meadowmont is a developing Experienced Hopkins defeats UNC in NCAA quarterfinals BY DANIEL BLANK SPORTS EDITOR North Carolina’s one-goal loss to Johns Hopkins in April showed how close the Tar Heels were to the nation’s top-ranked team in terms of talent. But Hopkins’ 15-9 win in the lacrosse NCAA quarterfinals on Saturday, eliminating UNC in its first tournament appearance since 1998, showed how much of a dif ference postseason experience can make. “We were pretty nervous out there, we started slow,” said junior attacker Jed Prossner. “They knew what it was like to be in the quar terfinals.” Prossner added, “If we played them like we did the first game, I think we could’ve won. We played tentatively.” But Coach John Haus said it was the team’s defensive struggles that cost UNC (10-5), not its lack of experience. “I can’t remember the last time J/HL SUMMER HOURS i , i X / Wt Moo-Wed 1130 AM lIPW, ‘ , p .■“"TBgglJr %Ml HbctSm ii3oam-ii3opm Srety Soou-lira Motorist Alert: Ridge Road will be blocked to through traffic just east of the southern end of Stadium Drive beginning June 2, 2004 due to utility work.
