The game will depend largely on which point guard can control the tempo of the game. Georgia Tech likes to get out in transition on occasion, but the Tar Heels look to push the ball on every possession. Safety task force finalizes suggestions BY ALEX GRANADOS STAFF WRITER Criminal background checks and stronger verification proce dures are just some of the recom mendations released Dec. 14 by a UNC-system safety task force. The task force was created by system President Molly Broad after two students were murdered at UNC-Wilmington last year. Committee Chairman Robert Kanoy, UNC-system senior asso ciate vice president for academic and student affairs, said task force members spent the majority of their time reviewing application CHEAP USED BOOKS!

The Tar Heels have the most potent offense in the country, scor ing 92.7 points per game. When the teams met at the Smith Center last year, a 103-88 Tar Heel win, Felton scored 25 points and Jack poured in 22. UNC likely won’t need that type of point output from Felton tonight But the Yellow Jackets might need that type of scoring from Jack, because Georgia Tech will be without B.J. Elder, the team’s sec ond leading scorer, who is out with a strained hamstring. Jack, the team’s leading scorer at 14.8 points per game, has drained an astounding 58 percent of his field goals. He’s also pulling down better than five rebounds a game. Although Felton’s scoring aver age isn’t as high, he’s making 52.6 percent of his shots and an ACC best 55 percent on 3-pointers and also leads the conference with 7.8 assists per game. The Yellow Jackets might have a slight advantage in the backcourt with Jack and Will Bynum, who also can run the offense, but Ga. Tech could have a tough time keeping up with the North Carolina frontcourt. Isma’il Muhammad loves to get out on the break, but Anthony procedures. “Most of the attention has been focused on the pre-admis sions process,” he said. Steve Farmer, chairman of the panel’s admissions subcommit tee and director of admissions at UNC-Chapel Hill, said system schools are looking to standardize the questions they ask about their applicants’ criminal and punitive histories. “They are on their honor to explain to us anything related to their disciplinary history,” he said. But schools would not be required to rely on applicants’ honesty. THE LOWDOWN ON SATURDAY'S GAME (Ski Georgia Tech at North Carolina VQM*.

Stronger verification procedures, such as a database of all students who have faced disciplinary action at any of the 16 system schools, also would safeguard against the admit tance of students prone to violence. Farmer said admissions offices will check criminal backgrounds if applications have significant omis sions or raise suspicions. “That might signal to us that we need to check a student’s back ground more emphatically.” The task force’s recommenda tions also extended to accepted students. Its environment subcom mittee, headed by Garrie Moore, vice chancellor for student affairs at UNC-W, focused more on the status of campus safety. “They were concerned with what is actually going on in the campus Highly motivated.

Compiled by Daniel Blank community and what campuses can do once students are on cam pus,” Farmer said. Campus safety committees, much like those already in place at many system schools, would be created or reinforced. Also, faculty would be trained to spot troubling behavior. Finally, students facing judi cial action would not be allowed to withdraw from school to avoid disciplinary action. To prevent these safety recom mendations from fading into the background of everyday campus life, Kanoy said, the committee periodically will meet to re-exam ine safety issues.

NEW CONSTRUCTION A * ~ / * JV "" w* yt .-.t * ofpuf*r.w% - DTH/SARA LEWKOWICZ Workers lay concrete outside the Rams Head Center on Tuesday. The center is scheduled to offer dining services by late February or early March. Projects closer to completion Cameron Ave. to close for semester BY STEPHANIE NOVAK STAFF WRITER While students ventured away from campus to enjoy three weeks of freedom, construction on cam pus continued to ensure that proj ects will finish on time. Warm weather and a decrease in student activity allowed con struction to continue on schedule, said Bruce Runberg, associate vice chancellor for planning and con struction. “(It’s been) very peaceful and quiet around campus,” Runberg said. Utility roadwork, including con struction on sidewalks and roads, was much easier since there was not much traffic, added Ed Willis, direc tor of construction management. Construction of a utility inff a structure upgrade to support the new northeast chiller plant and parking deck will close Cameron Avenue to through traffic between Raleigh Street and South Columbia Street starting Monday. Through traffic is expected to resume on Cameron in May. The parking deck will be built off Country Club Road behind the Center for Dramatic Art, the Paul Green Theater and Cobb Residence Hall. Several other projects are scheduled to finish this semester, including the Rams Head Center ©tp oaiiy ®ar Bppl and additions to Carrington Hall and the School of Public Health building. The Rams Head Center —a mixed-use dining and recreation facility being built near Kenan Field House is slated to finish between late February and the first week of March, Runberg said. He added that while the dining ser vices section of the center will be in place, the recreation space will take longer to finish. “There is so much work, it’s essential that we focus on food ser vices,” Runberg said. Finishing the Rams Head dining hall is a top pri ority because Chase Hall is sched uled to be demolished in March. Construction on the Public Health building on South Columbia Street should finish in February, and the addition to Carrington Hall, which houses the School of Nursing, is scheduled to be com pleted at the beginning of April, Willis said. He also said the modernization of Cobb should be finalized by early summer. Other projects that are moving forward include phase two of the South Campus residence hall proj ect and student family housing on Mason Farm Road. Runberg said the $1.3 billion con struction program is one of the larg est in the country for a university. Willis said the various construc tion projects could be hindrances to students but added that they will ultimately be worthwhile. “We know it’s disruptive, and we do our best to accommodate prob lems,” he said. “Bear with us as we build a bigger, better campus.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. Webster tapped as TSU coach FROM WIRE REPORTS NASHVILLE Tennessee State University Athletics Director Teresa Phillips announced James Webster Jr. as the Tigers’ new head football coach on Tuesday. The formal announcement comes after the Tennessee State Board of Regents approval of Webster’s appointment. Webster served the last four seasons on the coaching staff at his alma mater, the University of North Carolina. Webster was the assistant head coach and special teams coordinator at UNC. He had previously coached the team’s defensive ends. “This was a challenging search,” said Phillips. “When we looked at candidates to head our football program here at TSU we wanted to make sure that we got the best total package. Coach Webster defines the total package leadership, experience and passion.” Webster began his college foot ball career as a player at North Carolina in 1968. He started at linebacker for three consecutive seasons. Webster was a stand out defensive player for the UNC Tar Heels, and was named Most Valuable Defensive Player in the 1971 Gator Bowl. The following year, he received the ACC’s Brian Piccolo Award and the Frank Porter Graham Award as one of the top 12 seniors at UNC. He graduated from UNC in 1972 with a bache lor’s degree in education. “This is a great opportunity for James and his family,” said head coach John Bunting. “One of his career goals was to become a college head coach and I’ve supported him throughout this process. James did a terrific job as our assistant head coach and special teams coordina tor and I know he will be missed by our players and staff.”
