Utyr Sotly (Tar MM Tar Heels slaughter Charleston Southern BY DANIEL MALLOY SPORTS EDITOR North Carolina started the game with a 16-4 run. Or you could say the Tar Heels began with a 28-6 spurt. Actually, the first half was one giant 50-16 explosion. As far as statistics go you can really take your pick in what best describes the No. 7 UNC women’s basketball team’s 92-38 disman tling of Charleston Southern on Thursday there are quite a few stats to choose from. Twelve UNC players scored in the first half. Charleston shot less than 25 percent for the game. And, most impressively, CSU is the third team from the Big South con ference that WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Charleston 38 UNC 92 UNC has pounded this season the other two being Liberty and UNC-Asheville. The combined score in those three games against the not-so-Big competition has been 262-117. Yipes. The Tar Heels executed their trademark pressure and fast break to near perfection against the over matched Lady Bucs, who might as well have started warming up the bus during the pregame layup line. It was a departure from Tuesday’s game, in which North Carolina struggled early against UNC-Asheville before pulling away. “We really tried to come out with a lot of intensity,” said UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell. “If we can get going defensively, we can get going offensively.” And get going they did. After the quick start, North Carolina easily could have shifted into cruise control, but the defen sive pressure didn’t let up. With 2:11 to play in the first half, guard La’Tangela Atkinson lunged for an errant CSU pass, and in a vain attempt to save the ball, went sprawling over the scorer’s table. This is with North Carolina leading 48-14, mind you. “My thing is never look at the scoreboard,” Atkinson said. “We’re out there on the floor to get bet Admissions policies OK, panel says BY KATIE HOFFMANN ASSISTANT UNIVERSITY EDITOR In 2003 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of affirmative action in Grutter v. Bollinger, allowing race to be considered in the college admissions process. But to many people the case is not closed, as a panel discussion proved Thursday night. More than 40 members of the community came together to debate UNC’s affirmative action practice. According to the Supreme Court decision, admissions offi cers at a university who perceive diversity as important can take race or ethnicity into account if they choose to, said panelist Steve Farmer, UNC’s director of under graduate admissions. Because UNC has made diversity one of its primary focuses, Farmer said, the admissions officials prac tice affirmative action. But Farmer was quick to dis pel any misconceptions about the policy, emphasizing that the admissions process takes race into account only when it promises to foster educational diversity. “Students learn best when they learn alongside people who are dif ferent from them,” Farmer said. He said UNC neither has sepa rate pools for different races or eth nicities nor racial quotas because ' llllllllia r/ ,-o Take 1 S/501 South towards Pittsboro Exit Main St./Southern Village HARRY POTTER & THE GOBLET OF RREE9 12:45-3:50-7:00-10:00 WALK THE LINE EHS „.1:15-4:15 7:1510:05 YOURS, MINE & OURS B -.1.20-3 20 CHICKEN LITTLE B 1 00-300 5:00 7 00-9 to SUrtt 12/9/05 THE CRONICLES OF NARNIA |tad.L %BJ*Q IPIQI TA L| SEATING &EGLAL CINEMAS DIG DIGITAL'-SOUND BARG AIN SHOWS IN ( ) * P■ ss .

In fact, Charleston Southern (1- 5) went on a run of its own albe it a modest 9-5 one— to start the half and, at the very least, wake the Tar Heels from their halftime slumber. So the Tar Heels just went ahead and closed the game on another mega-run, this time it was 37-13, to improve to 6-0 on the season. The statistical love even was spread from the starters down to the last bench warmer. Junior point guard Ivory' Latta came into the game leading UNC in points, assists, 3-point percent age and minutes —but led none of those categories Thursday. The most unlikely Tar Heel to step into the spotlight was fresh man Heather Claytor. She dis played a deadly 3-point stroke, knocking down 3-of-5 from behind the arc in the opening frame on her way to 14 points, and was one of only two UNC players in double figures. “We are the University of the people. And that doesn’t mean some people. It means all the people.” ARCHIE IRVIN, ASSOCIATE PROVOST both would be against the law, and both would group students into categories when they should be considered on an individual basis. “Because people are different, we don’t have a ‘one size fits all’ formu la for admissions,” Farmer said. “Every student at Chapel Hill earns his or her spot.” But some audience members said just because something is legal does not always prove it is right. Jonathan Sink, a University junior, said admissions should be based entirely on merit citing SATs and GPAs as the true evalua tions of students. Sink, along with senior Matt Vail, started Advocates for Educational Equality, a campus organization dedicated to pro moting color-blind admissions in North Carolina and eliminating 7 On, 9:30.

Even though they are in the middle of a grueling stretch in which they play six games in 11 days before exams and Winter Break, the Tar Heels looked no worse for the wear. The early lead and strong effort from the bench which scored 60 points allowed Hatchell to rest her stars for tonight’s game against South Florida and Monday’s trip to Connecticut. Erlana Larldns, who was limited by sore legs, played only five minutes and Latta played a mere 13. “(We are) a little tired,” Atkinson said. “But there’s nothing we can do about it.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. ethnicity check-boxes from admis sions applications. But some panelists said such a “meritocracy” would assume that all people start off on equal footing in terms of schooling. Also, such a process would define merit solely in terms of numbers, they said. “We really want to know stu dents as human beings and not as numbers,” Farmer said. Most of all, panelists also said that type of an admissions process would hurt education at UNC by eliminating diversity. “We are the University of the people,” said panelist Archie Ervin, associate provost for diversity and multicultural affairs. “And that doesn’t mean some people.

G: Ravi Moss, 6-2 Sr. F: Rekalin Sims, 6-8 Jr. F: Bobby Perry, 6-6 Jr. The Key Matchup: The North Carolina backcourt against the 3- point line. The Tar Heels shot a woeful 2- for-13 from behind the arc against Illinois in Tuesday’s four-point loss, allowing the Mini to collapse on Tyler Hansbrough in the paint and repeatedly force awkward turnovers. And while Hansbrough and his frontcourt brethren should be able to create space against Kentucky’s three-guard lineup, the North Carolina guards need to keep the Wildcats’ defense honest. No Tar Heel connected from behind the arc in the first 33 min utes of Tuesday’s game. And even when Marcus Ginyard drained a clutch shot from the comer in the final minutes, referees ruled that he’d shot the ball with his foot on the line. On the other hand, the Wildcats, like Illinois, have no qualms about shooting the 3 when they’re open. Patrick Sparks who knows something about keeping his toes behind the line has hit 15 of his 30 3-point shots this season. Senior Ravi Moss and sophomore Rajan Rondo also are shooting exactly 50 percent from behind the arc. If the Tar Heels continue to struggle to score outside the paint, they’ll have to find a way to force Kentucky to do the same.

UNC Backcourt rookies Bobby Frasor and Marcus Ginyard | have played well defensively but haven't "".'r/yti found their scoring touch. Edge: Kentucky The Tar Heels caught a break with the news that Randolph Morris, a 6-10 bruiser Frontcourt who scored in double figures 13 times last year, still is ineligible. Tyler Hansbrough is scoring 17.8 points per game. Edge: UNC Seven-foot-3 center Shagari Alleyne caused problems for UNC off the bench last year, Bench blocking four shots. He's not a scorer, but Vj he'll clog the paint and force UNC to move the ball on the perimeter. Edge: Kentucky For the second straight season, a team laden with talented freshmen visits the hostile Intangibles home of a highly ranked squad of veterans. J Oif £ As was the case for UNC last year, Kentucky's NpASf, ' 1 home court wins out. Edge: Kentucky The Bottom Line Kentucky 71, North Carolina 62 Bobby Frasor and Ginyard man aged to contain the flashy Dee Brown on Tuesday, but Kentucky has a much deeper stable of capa ble guards than did the Fighting Mini. Final Analysis/Prediction: Four games into the season, the Tar Heels particularly the rookies have proven to all but the most skeptical of observers that they have the talent and desire to com pete in every game. But they still struggle mightily to maintain possession of the ball. So far neither Quentin Thomas, who has been hobbled by injury, nor the freshman Frasor has been an effective point guard. Only Wes Tax revenues could boost economy, help university BY STEPHEN MOORE STAFF WRITER North Carolina could receive s7l-3 million more than expected in revenue, and higher education in the state is looking to gain from the extra padding. A report filed Tuesday by the N.C. General Assembly Fiscal Research Division states that increases in receipts from the sales, corporate income and franchise taxes com bined to create the expected gain in the general fund. How this increase could impact the UNC system remains to be determined that decision will fall to the N.C. General Assembly during its short summer session that starts in May. “It’s too early to tell because there’s a lot of competition for fund ing,” said Sen. Richard Stevens, R- Wake. “All of that will have to be looked at during the short session.” James Holshouser, member of the UNC-system Board of Governors, said the system has a history of receiving funding from such surpluses and will look to capitalize once again. “The university has definitely received some additional funds in that second year of the biennium when additional funds are avail able,” Holshouser said. “Obviously we would hope that if there are additional funds, we would hope that the university would receive some consideration in that.” The exact amount of tax rev enue that will be collected remains uncertain with the state economy entering a somewhat slower phase, said Dave Crotts, principal fiscal analyst for the General Assembly.

COMPILED BY BRIAN MACPHERSON Miller, in fact, finished the Illinois game with more assists than turn overs. Coach Roy Williams will insist upon improvement in that area, but Rupp Arena is a tough place to learn the importance of the safe pass. North Carolina will have little margin for error against a team as talented as Kentucky. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels’ hopes for victory, errors are a natural part of the learning pro cess. The Bottom Line: Kentucky 71, North Carolina 62. Compiled by Brian MacPherson “Not knowing how long it’s going to go or how deep it’s going to be, we urge caution at this point,” he said. “(The expected surplus) is a good sign, but it’s nothing to go shouting about.” Several times in the past the UNC system was forced to work with less money than expected when the predictions were aimed too high, said Jeff Davies, UNC system vice president of finance. “We would be hopeful that we would not see further reductions or reversions of our budget,” Davies said. “The Board of Governors has a request before the General Assembly denoting the universi ties’ need.” However, Sen. Robert Pittenger, R-Mecklenburg said he did not par ticularly favor using the money to increase spending for universities, instead preferring that it be given directly back to the taxpayers. “I would be in favor of better managing of the administrative operations of the system and spend ing that money more effectively on attracting professors and keeping tuition low,” Pittenger said. “There appears to be a strong proclivity to spend money (in the General Assembly). I hope that’s not the case today.” Wherever the money ends up, Stevens cautioned that the increase is not large enough to help all pro grams within the state. “It’s not a windfall,” he said. “It’s fairly small, especially coming off of several years of deficits. “But it is good news.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. 9
