The players selected had stand out seasons in 2004, a season in which UNC went 43-21. Chris lannetta (fourth round, 110th overall to the Colorado Rockies), Marshall Hubbard (eighth round, 243rd overall to the Seattle Mariners) and Garry Bakker (11th round, 329th overall to the Chicago White Sox) were W No cards to swipe, no waiting for a dryer, and no lost socks.

SCHWARTZ SENIOR WRITER The Carolina Testing and Orientation Program Sessions, the University’s incoming freshmen orientation, has commenced for the summer with the segmented arrival of the almost 3,570 students that make up the class of 2008. C-TOPS is a two-day long pro gram that provides students with various opportunities to immerse themselves in the campus and ori ent themselves with the pressures of college life. Judy Deshotels, director of the Office of New Student Programs, said that the program is an effec tive way to prepare students for the rigor of what lies ahead. “Their schedules for the two days is packed with very little time in between those commitments,” she said. “But our hope is that they participate fully during orienta Sloatsburg, N.Y., amassed a 5-5 record with a 3.90 ERA, but came on much stronger down the stretch. He pitched a complete game shutout against Maryland in the 2004 ACC Tournament to earn all tourney honors. Brower, a senior relief pitcher from Middleboro, Mass., appeared in 105 games during his career, the fourth-most in school history. In 2004, he went 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA in 22 appearances. His best season came in 2002, when he recorded a career-low ERA of 2.28. Gross, a Senior reliever from Marietta, Ga., was the final Tar Heel selected in the draft. He went 4-4 in 2004, with eight saves and a team-low 2.24 ERA, striking out 59 batters in 52 1/3 innings as the team’s closer. His 91 career appearances in a Tar Heel uniform are the seventh most in team history. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. tion. The programs intent is to pro vide them with helpful informa tion.” Special interest programs are offered from the Study Abroad Office, Greek Life and University Libraries, among others. “We emphasize that we value diversity, and we try to incorporate that message throughout C-TOPS,” Deshotels said. The students are housed in Carmichael Residence Hall. They are split up into 14 small groups with an orientation leader who takes the students from event to event and is there to offer his or her perspective on life at UNC. Testing comes into the equation as all students are required to take a foreign language placement exam on the first day of the pro gram. After meeting with an advisor, students register for classes for the U.S. economy shows signs of rebounding THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C., - The appetite of America’s shoppers returned in May, boosting sales at the nation’s retailers by 1.2 per cent, a fresh sign that the econom ic recovery is on solid footing. The latest snapshot of retail activity reported by the Commerce Department on Monday comes after a consumer pullback in April, which depressed retail sales by 0.6 percent. May’s increase was slight ly larger than the 1 percent rise some that economists were pre dicting and marked the biggest gain since March. The U.S. trade deficit swelled to a record $48.3 billion in April, reflecting Americans’ demand for foreign-made goods, especially cars, TVs, furniture and clothes. April’s trade deficit was 3.8 per cent larger than March’s shortfall, which had been the previous all time monthly high. The rebound ing economy has been supporting demand for imported goods. Imports of goods and services rose by 0.2 percent in April to a record $142.3 billion. Exports CffTMttAgLti 919-967-9053 300 E.

Parents are invited to attend the sessions that are offered for them to mingle and learn how to let go and send their children to college. There are 12 different C-TOPS sessions this summer and two ses sions for transfer students dubbed Transfer Testing and Orientation Program Sessions. The sessions are held throughout June and July. Deshotels said the program has been a success thus far. “The feedback that we’ve gotten so far from parents and students is that it’s a very positive experience.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Higher imported crude oil prices also contributed to the trade deficit in April. The average price of imported crude oil rose to s3l a barrel, the highest since February 1983. Sales at automobile dealerships increased by 2.7 percent in May, an improvement from the 2.1 percent decline in April and the biggest gain since November. Excluding sales at automobile dealerships, retail sales went up by a solid 0.7 percent in May. Sales at clothing stores, depart ment stores, health and beauty shops, sporting goods, music and book stores, and grocery stores all increased in May. Sales of furni ture and building supplies posted declines. People also ate out less, causing sales at restaurants to dip. Consumers play an important role in determining the vigor of the economic recovery. That’s because their spending accounts for rough ly two-thirds of all economic activ ity in the United States. They have managed to spend at a modest pace even in the face of high energy prices. Looking ahead, economists believe consumers will keep their pocketbooks and wallets sufficiently open to support the recovery in the coming months. Gasoline prices posted their first nationwide decline this year. The national average price fell by 61/2 cents to $2.04 per gallon on Friday, according to the Lundberg Survey of 8,000 gas stations released Sunday. In May, sales at gasoline sta tions rose by 4 percent, the biggest rise since February 2003, reflect ing higher prices at the pump. Excluding the sale of gasoline, retail sales rose by a strong 0.9 percent in May.
