SLU puts up fight, but

Those who were part of the
North Carolina basketball team
last season never will forget the
hospitality shown in St. Louis last
April.
The Tar Heels didn’t plan on
returning the favor.
But behind guard Anthony
Drejaj, who scored 13 first-half
points, Saint
Louis surged
to a surpris

very much,” Williams said.
“I tend to be pretty competitive
and pretty passionate about play,
and I didn’t feel like I was giving
very much tonight.”
The sloppy game overshad
owed a nearly flawless perfor
mance from guard Bobby Frasor
the freshman scored only four
points, but he compiled 12 assists
against two turnovers and also
had five steals.
“He was just making the easy
play and letting the game come to
him,” said guard Marcus Ginyard.
“He got into the flow of the game,
and he ended up having a great
game.”
North Carolina (5-1) scored the
game’s first seven points, and the
rout many anticipated seemed to
be forthcoming.
But the Billikens (3-3) respond
ed with a 15-4 run, capitalizing
on an uncharacteristically sloppy
performance from the Tar Heels’
perimeter defenders to hold a
three-point lead at the half.
“We did try to come out and
jump on them early, but they with
stood everything that we tried to
do,” said forward David Noel. “In
turn, we withstood everything that
they did to us.”
North Carolina tried to jump
on them again at the start of the
second half, with Hansbrough
scoring seven points in about two
minutes during the Tar Heels’ 13-
0 run.
“In the first half, we took quick
outside shots,” Williams said. “In
the second half, we got the ball to
Tyler.”
But the Billikens still wouldn’t
go away. Four different players
scored in the next three minutes
as Saint Louis briefly recaptured
the lead, 45-44.
The Tar Heels didn’t panic,
instead continuing to focus the
offense on Hansbrough in the post.
The rookie forward didn’t disap
point he missed only one shot
he took from the field in the second
half, and he finished with a game
high 21 points.
But North Carolina couldn’t
feel truly comfortable with its lead
until Wes Miller who quickly is

becoming not only a Smith Center
favorite but the Tar Heels’ go-to
shooter and defender hit a3-
pointer from the top of the arc
with 5:15 left to give UNC a six
point lead.
“Wes knows he can shoot,”
Frasor said.
“No one has a problem with him
taking big shots like that.”
And even then, the Billikens con
tinued to fight. A basket and free
throw from Tommie Liddell cut
the lead to three, but Hansbrough
returned the favor at the other end
to restore the six-point margin.
Saint Louis never threatened
again.
“It was definitely big for us to
withstand the runs that they made,”
Noel said.
“It could have got ugly out
there, but we were able to hold our
poise.”

He says if Hispanic families put
down roots, they will be more likely
to consider themselves Southern.
“So over time, instead of grits
and iced tea, we may see fajitas
alongside of other Southern foods,”
Ferris says.
In addition to the growing
Hispanic population, Ferris says
that increasing numbers of retirees
from other parts of the country are
influencing the changing aspects
of Southern identification.

Responding to complaints from
administrators that the state’s
health benefit was becoming an
obstacle to attracting and retain
ing faculty, the UNC system began
last year to explore the creation of
an independent health plan.
While that effort has been put
on hold pending further review by
the state legislature, Patterson said
the UNC-system initiative helped
spur the state to take action.
“I think it had a very critical role
to play as far as getting the atten

said. “The UNC initiative has got

Still, Patterson said that the state’s

In the years that followed,
she wrote “The Year of Magical
Thinking,” a reflection on death and
a marriage of nearly four decades.
The memoir earned her the nation’s
foremost literary prize, the National
Book Award, for nonfiction in 2005.
Didion reportedly is working on
adapting the story for the theater
in the spring of next year.
Bland Simpson, director of the
creative writing program, said the
visits offer a great opportunity for
students to have close contact with
the authors.
“It helps demystify the process of
writing. It certainly helps demystify
the state of celebrity,” he said.
“It explains people who are
nationally known writers, telling
you what it is they have to deal
with to keep on doing what they’re
doing at that level.”
Past Morgan writers-in-residence
have included Guggenheim Fellow
Shelby Foote and Pulitzer Prize
winner Annie Dillard. In March, the

are in the South, the more they will
adapt to being Southerners and to
setting down roots here.”
Though the concept of the
quintessential Southerner is
changing, some long-standing
Southern labels continue to stick.
“There’s the Southern stereotypes
of being hospitable or polite, but
they don’t work for everyone here,”
sophomore David Marsh says.
Known to his friends as
“Southern Dave,” Marsh says the
way he was raised has contributed
to his Southern identity.
“The other day I was doing some
thing in the cafeteria and I let some
body in front of me,” he says. “They
were like, ‘Oh, thanks,’ and I was like,
“Yes ma’am,’ without even thinking
about it. They turned right around
and said, Tm not a ma’am!’”
“There’s a lot that were really not clear

of the benefits.”

that employees will continue to push
for better coverage wherever they
can get it. He’d like to see a plan that
bases premiums and deductibles on
salary level, he said.
“The proposed UNC plan actu
ally has some steps that are mov
ing more toward that,” he said.
Whether the state’s push for a
PPO will leave the university ini
tiative permanently shelved, offi

“We have writers

and I think that is

SUSAN IRONS, DIRECTOR
“The program is fantastic because
it gives students an opportunity to
engage in a very small setting with
authors who wouldn’t otherwise be
available,” he said. ‘To have a woman
who has just won the National Book
Award sit down and talk to a class
about what it means to write is an
unparalleled opportunity.”
Sometimes authors impart
knowledge beyond standard liter
ary discussion.
Simpson said that when Tobias
Wolff visited in 2002, he advised
students on the life of a profes
sional author, warning them not to
splurge on pricey real estate after
their first book deal.
“We’re trying to —and I think
succeeding in bringing top

Junior Greg Rhoads from
Naperville, 111., says that though he
doesn’t identify as Southern, a part
of him is connected to the South.
“When I think of the South,
I think of sweet tea, Bojangles,
Southern accents, especially ‘y’all,’
and the nicely dressed Southern
belles,” he says.
Though this is no longer the
South of “Gone with the Wind,”
Ferris says there always will be
a Southern dynamic among the
people who live here.
“This is a different world than
the world of our grandparents, but
that doesn’t mean that it’s any less

But McCollum said she would

CONGRESS
FROM PAGE 3
There is no question that stu
dents are generally unaware of the
workings of Congress, but whether
this ignorance is due to student apa
thy or a lack of effort on the part of
representatives is up for debate.
“I think there’s a huge disconnect
(between students and Congress),”
said sophomore Liz Barry, who
lives in District 5. “There’s not
enough outreach.”
Farley said his group is trying to
reach out to students, but it’s up to
the constituents to take advantage
of this. He said students take inter
est only when they think Congress is
doing something wrong.
“It’s when students get suffi
ciently angry or worked up that
they’ll have an opinion,” he said.
And ultimately, students control
the representatives’ destinies.
“When we run for re-election,
we have to face the voters,” Farley
said. “They can have an impact.”
