“I am here as John Edwards’
running mate,” he said. “John gave
me advice before I came here: Just
remember to call everyone ma’am
and sir.”
Ron Eckstein, spokesman for
the N.C. Kerry-Edwards campaign,
said the candidate is here to win
the state’s 15 electoral votes. The
last time a Democrat won the state
was in 1976, when Jimmy Carter
captured the White House.
“Al Gore basically conceded
North Carolina in 2000 before the
election,” Eckstein said. “Gore only
had two staffers here, and Kerry
has a full staff here. John Kerry
looks to win here.”
Joan Fulton, a lifelong
Democrat from Greensboro, said
that she is skeptical that Kerry can
win over the conservative elector
ate in North Carolina but that she
is committed to mobilizing the
state’s Democrats.
“It is hard to tell about North
Carolina,” she said. “And any state

race relations.
“We're not out to cause trouble,”
Rutledge said. “He (Keyes) spe
cifically can address, in a scholarly
manner, federalist issues.”
Members of the Federalist
Society wanted to bring Keyes to
campus to expose the community
to his conservative viewpoints,
ones they say often are overshad
owed at UNC.
At the meeting, Rutledge
praised committee members for
“getting speakers in that push the
envelope or might cause a stir.”
He said the group wanted to
bring someone with name recog
nition to campus so it can spur
debate about judicial activism.
“The climate is better for dis
course after an event like this,”
Rutledge said.
Last year, the Federalist Society
brought conservative commenta
tor Ann Coulter to campus with
the help of $6,747.50 appropriated
from student fees.
Furr said the Finance
Committee evaluates each organi
zation’s request to fond a speaker

that kept electing Senator Jesse
Helms. I don’t know if there is
much hope.”
But Enola Mixon of Greensboro
said people are looking for a
change in leadership and should
not believe Kerry’s critics.
“I think a lot of the talk is
political propaganda,” she said.
“Something is wrong with the way
the current administration is run
ning the country.”
Kerry deflected criticism in
August for being too stagnant on
the campaign trail. His detractors
also have criticized his Senate vot
ing record.
Eckstein added that Republicans
are telling lies to voters about
Kerry’s military record. “If you
repeat lies often enough, people
start to believe them,” he said.
But in the end, James Park of
Winston-Salem said, it’s Bush’s
failed policies not criticism of
Kerry that will resonate with
voters.
“North Carolina’s economy has
been devastated,” Park said. “If you
are looking for religious beliefs, look
a speaker will bring about intellec
tual debate,” she said.
Furr said that in Ann Coulter’s
case, the group raised a majority
of the money it needed to meet her
honorarium of $25,000. Without
Student Congress’ allocation, the
group’s fond raising would have
been to no avail.
“For some groups, funding
(from Student Congress) is a last
resort,” Furr said.
The Federalist Society has nego
tiated an SB,OOO honorarium with
Keyes.
In addition to funding the
speaker fees for the Federalist
Society, the committee also
approved $1,400 in speaker fees
to the Inter Varsity Christian
Fellowship to bring award-win
ning author Becky Freeman to
campus Dec. 2.
The committee also allocated
SSOO to the Carolina Society of
Future Leaders to bring in former
Mississippi Gov. William Winter
on Nov. 16.
The Finance Committee’s bud
get for the semester is approxi
mately $44,000, or about 20 per
cent of student fees.

Kerry said he shares the
same values that many North
Carolinians believe in, with truth
being high on the list.
He added that the “W” in Bush’s
name stands for “wrong” and that
he thinks it is crucial this year to
elect new leaders.
“The race for the presidency
comes down to one question: Do
you want four more years of mov
ing in the wrong direction?” Kerry
asked. “I am going to make the
choice clear.”
After detailing his policies,
Kerry peeled off his blazer to create
a more informal atmosphere and
took questions from the crowd.
But the first audience member
did not have a question for Kerry.
She said that she was excited to see
him, adding, “I think you are hot.”
Kerry responded, “At my age,
that sounds good —and I will be
sure to tell (my wife) Teresa.”

mittee, said he is not going into the
meetings with a specific agenda but
instead is looking to be proactive in
researching different scenarios.
But trustees underscored that
they, not the task force, have the
final say on tuition. “The board has
the ultimate responsibility to make
this decision and forward it to the
Board of Governors,” Schwab said.
“So we are looking for valuable
input and guidance and informa
tion from this task force, but the
board ultimately has to make this
decision.”

Clemson’s Oliver Purnell.
Despite the impressive collec
tion of coaches, the U.S. team did
not claim the gold medal for the
first time since NBA players were
allowed on the roster in 1992.
“The fact of the matter is, it’s
not our divine right to win a gold
medal anymore because we’re not
head and shoulders above other
people,” Williams said. “With the
nature of our game, the coaches
and the team are never going to
have the kind of time together as
other teams. And we’re never going
to have the passion that those other
countries have for the Olympics.
“The days of having clear supe
rior talent are gone and will never
come back.”
Although the Dream Team’s fail
ure to win gold has been well-docu
mented, the dominance displayed
by the Young Men’s team went
largely unnoticed.
The team went 5-0 in the tour
nament held in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, and won every game by
double digits.
May scored a team-high 18
points in the United States’ 97-86
victory in the gold-medal game
against Puerto Rico.
Although May’s squad, com
posed of players selected from
colleges around the country, over
whelmed its competition, the team
Williams coached was never able to
gel as a cohesive unit.
The U.S. team will always have
to deal with the inherent disadvan
tage of having the least amount of
practice time, but Williams said
the United States would be able to
build a better team if the players
had to attend tryouts instead of
simply being handed invitations.
“You can put enough adversity
(in the trials) so you can find out
how seriously everybody really

“It was a fantastic experience , and in a
lot of ways one of the most gratifying and
sensational experiences I’ve ever had.”
ROY WILLIAMS, unc men's basketball coach
does want to be there,” Williams
said. “You can create a situation
where they can gain more passion
for being on the team.”
But May, who attended trials to
earn his spot on the team, said it
wouldn’t work for NBA players.
“Our egos weren’t as big,” May
said. “We had some problems
together, but when you have
guys making S4O million, they’re,
not going to want to sit on the
bench. Some of those guys didn’t
have time to adjust to it; we were
happy just to have the opportunity
to play.”
May had the chance to play for
his country something he said
he would not hesitate to do again
if asked —but Williams had the
unique opportunity of actually
being at the Olympics.
Williams said he spent every
free moment he had attending
other events, rarely leaving the
Olympic complex.
“One of the greatest thrills for
me is seeing youngsters have to
come through with their absolute
best at a certain specific time and
do it,” Williams said. “It’s not like
going out and shooting a 59 in a
practice round, it’s shooting a 59
in the final round of the Masters
—but that’s what we had.”
May began to reach that per
sonal best this summer, finishing
in the top 10 in scoring and pacing

the tournament field in rebound
ing.
After a season in Chapel Hill
during which he constantly heard
gripes about his fitness, May
claims that he is in much better
shape now thanks to the additional
competition and training.
“I really put in a lot of work and
effort for it,” May said. “I knew it
would help me for my teammates
and my team this year.”
Williams said he couldn’t help
but learn from his experience in
Athens, but even he is not sure
whether those lessons will be
as noticeable as May’s physical
improvements once the season
begins.
“If I go coach a summer league
back up in the mountains of North
Carolina, I think I can pick up
something from it,” Williams said.
“But the fact that you’ve got
Larry Brown, Oliver Purnell and
Gregg Popovich there who have
been very successful and can share
some things, I think that really
helps.
“In coaching you’re always
learning, you’re always getting bet
ter. Now, I think I learned a great
deal. Whether I can get it across
to my team, get them to do it, we’ll
just have to wait and see.”
