Practice makes perfect
North Carolina’s bruising, phys

ebrated as the cause for Tar Heels’
aggressiveness and ability to play
through contact in games.
“They don’t call nothing in prac
tice,” said junior Camille Little
after UNC’s Elite Eight victory
Tuesday.
Tennessee, on the other hand,
was not accustomed to North
Carolina’s brand of basketball.

With the intention of follow

school and outside activities is
essential.
“It’s definitely possible to bal

done,” she said. “It’s not the easi
est thing to do. I mean, I don’t sit
at home and watch movies every
night. It’s just something my par
ents have instilled in me ever since
I was little: Come home, do your
homework, then go play.”
On the diamond, Evans led the
Tar Heels in batting average, hits,
runs, triples, home runs, total
bases and sacrifice bunts for the
2004-05 season. She was also
named first-team All-ACC, UNC’s
MVP and most outstanding offen

Summitt.
With the season on the line,
both teams fought from the open

fouls were called, and pileups and
scrums accompanied almost every
loose ball.
The stat that was most telling of
the scrappy play on both sides was
the game’s 10 tie-ups.

“My freshman year was not a
good experience,” she said. “It was
very humbling, and I didn’t do well.
I wasn’t accustomed to it athleti

Papa rotated Evans through
multiple positions, and the con
stant changes made it difficult for
Evans to find her role.
Now that she’s been estab
lished as shortstop though, Evans
has made her mark as one of the
infield’s main leaders.
“When we do base-running in
practice, she has the mind-set that
she’s the winning run against N.C.
State,” Papa said.
But Evans’ biggest trial didn’t

Malone said Wednesday that

Latta, giddy to talk with the

“It was definitely difficult for my
family,” Evans said. “My family is
far more important than any ath
letic or academic accolade.”
Evans’ mother attended almost
every one of her games prior to
her diagnosis, and although she
was given only six months to live,
she didn’t let her illness hold her
back.
“I don’t think I missed many,”
she said. “Even though I was hair
less and quarantinable, I had to see
her play. And that was the year they
won the state championship.”
Evans’ family is tightly knit, and
although the situation was not
easy, she recognized its positives.
“It was really hard to deal with,

Although many people are excit
ed by the prospect of winning the
lottery, there is more at risk than
the cost of a ticket.
In a Wednesday press release,
Attorney General Roy Cooper
warned North Carolinians to
watch out for lottery scams, many
of which could come in the form of
letters or calls claiming the recipi
ent already has won the lottery.
Cooper stated consumers never
should send money to cover taxes
or other fees in the event they
receive a letter claiming they’ve
won the lottery.
“Lottery crooks are betting that
North Carolinians will fall for their
tricks,” he stated. “Don’t let these
scammers get rich off of you.”
Mike Stelten, a senior business
major at UNC, said he doesn’t plan
to buy a lottery ticket because he
sees the games themselves as too
risky.
“I think a lot of people waste
their money on them,” he said.
“But in the long run, I think
it could be a good thing for the
state.”

TACO BELL

“Anything on that list is defi
nitely a possibility,” he said.
The widespread interest in Taco
Bell is intriguing because the eat
ery failed to gain a following when
it was on campus, Simon said.
“Taco Bell used to be on
Mainstreet, and it did not perform
well,” he said.
The eatery was removed after
six years when renovations to
Lenoir Dining Hall began in 1997,
Simon said.
Chapel Hill was left without any
Taco Bells after poor sales forced a
franchise to relinquish its Franklin
Street spot in July 2001.
The closest Taco Bell to campus
is more than five miles away, on
Shannon Road in Durham.
Another difficulty in tagging
Taco Bell is the presence of Tortilla
Fresca on Lenoir Mainstreet,

“We already have a Mexican
concept,” he said. “Tortilla Fresca

balks at the elitism displayed by
some students.
“Unfortunately, the students that
we know drive around in cars that
cost more than the down payment
on our house and act like idiots.”
Michael Palmer, director of com

idea that all students are damaging
to communities is a misconception.
He referenced the many Duke-
Durham community partnerships
and said it is unfortunate that
many should be typecast by the
actions of a few.
The focus of Wednesday’s march
was to bring the larger Duke com
munity together to condemn all
sexual violence, including the
recent allegations of rape, said Jean
Leonard, coordinator for Duke sex

“This year, the bounds of our

Leaders were working to bring
Wendy’s to Lenoir Mainstreet
before the survey but were unsuc
cessful, Freeman said.
A deal with Wendy’s never
materialized because the corpora
tion wanted a guaranteed mini
mum annual profit of $850,000
5500,000 more than what
Lenoir’s Burger King pulls in.
“Unless they change the way
they do business, I would say it’s a
dead issue,” he said.
But he also said he would con
tinue to contact Wendy’s repre
sentatives every few years if the
interest to have the burger joint
on campus remains high.
Simon also said local options
have come up in recent discussion
with dining officials.
“You really want to be selective
on who you bring to campus,” he
said. “What about a local brand, a
regional favorite?”

Shaama Pandya, a senior who
has been involved with the Women’s
Center throughout her time at
Duke, said this turnout was the
largest she had seen at the event.
“It acts as a bridge of sorts,” she
said. “Yes, it is a Duke event, but
everyone in Durham is welcome.”
Luke Steinberger, a freshman
English major, came with some
members of his fraternity, Sigma
Nu, to show support for ending
sexual violence.
“People need to be a lot more
responsible and make sure that
nothing happens,” he said. “We
want to see the situation get
resolved in a way that is right.”
No formal charges have been
made in the case, but lacrosse games
have been suspended until more is
known about the situation.
While some have said that for
feiting games seems a small price
to pay for a possible rape, Durham
Mayor Bill Bell said he is satisfied
with the university’s response.
“I am satisfied that they under
stand the seriousness of the matter
and they want to get it resolved,” he
said. “They want to be cooperative
and still not violate anyone rights.”
