VOLUME 113, ISSUE 151 ALLRED VS. HOLLOWAY STUDENT ELECTIONS ★ VOTE TODAY ★ ON STUDENT CENTRAL ★ FROM 7 A.M. TO 10 P.M. , SBP RACE TO DETERMINE CAMPUS POWER BY BRIAN HUDSON NEWS EDITOR To say this race is neck and neck is an understatement. Heading into the final day of a four-week campaign, there still is no clear favorite in the race between student body president candidates James Allred and Bernard Holloway. While gauging an election is difficult, one of the few measures the endorse ments each candidate racks up show that Allred and Holloway have equally large and powerful bases of support. Campus elections often are broken down along party lines —but it’s not a matter of the left and the right on UNC’s campus. Holloway, with nine endorsements, is officially supported largely by the multicultural student groups such as Sangam, the campus’ South Asian awareness organization, and the Asian First womens distribution sees success BY BETHANY BLACK STAFF WRITER Forlorn basketball fans still recovering from last Hiesday’s loss to Duke lined up Monday morning to secure their seats for a second helping of Blue Devil action. The Carolina Athletic Association handed out all 1,500 student tickets in four hours for the first women’s basketball dis tribution in school history. UNC will take on Duke on Feb. 25 in Carmichael Auditorium. The distribution lasted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., said Clint Gwaltney, associate athletic director for the Smith Center and ticket operations. “We expected a demand above and beyond what we normally have for tickets,” Gwaltney said, noting why the CAA and the Department of Athletics decided to hold a distri bution. Students lined up at the ticket CORRECTIONS Due to a source error Monday’s front-page correc tion concerning the Carolina Population center was incor rect.

UNC was ranked No. 1 last week for the first time. Rankings released Monday have Duke at No. I and UNC at No. 3 after the team’s loss to Maryland. Some students showed up ear lier than others. Freshmen Travis Hall and Ivan Stojanov arrived at II p.m. Sunday to camp out for tickets. “We wanted to make sure that nothing got in the way of getting our tickets,” said Hall, a history Due to a reporting error, a Monday front-page story, “UNC names newest offi cer,” incorrectly states when UNC announced Ann Penn as Equal Opportunity/ Americans with Disabilities Act Officer. The University issued a press release Monday. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for the error. www.dailytarheei.com | Students Association. Allred, with eight, is officially backed by campus politicos the College Republicans and the Young Democrats. The last time a student body presidency race broke down along a similar divide a run-off election in 2004 the margin of victory was seven votes out of 6,113. The endorsements are a product of platform —but also of connections. Last spring when both candidates began con structing their campaigns, that initial base of support —be it members of the Black Student Movement or the Young Democrats dictated the focus of the platform and snowballed into the crux of the campaign. “You start with the people you’ve already been successful with, and you build from there,” Allred said.
