The 2006 North Carolina women's soccer team crowds around the NCAA National Championship trophy after defeating previously unbeaten Notre Dame in the title game for the
program's 19th national championship. The Tar Heels finished the season on the strength of a 27-game winning streak after dropping their season opener for the first time since 1983.

crowded into SAS Soccer Park in

“There was a lot of blue in the
crowd, wasn’t there?” said Notre
Dame head coach Randy Waldrum.
Those fans haven’t felt blue much
this year, as North Carolina won its
27th straight game and extended a
streak that began after Texas A&M
beat the Thr Heels in the first game
of the season.
Notre Dame (25-1-1) had itself
not lost all year, and the two teams

Faculty salaries not up to par
UNC striving to
keep pace of peers
BY SHANNAN BOWEN
INVESTIGATIVE TEAM EDITOR
This year University faculty
members saw the highest collec
tive pay increase in the 21 years
that Executive Associate Provost
Steve Allred has been at UNC.
More than 90 percent of UNC’s
3,265 faculty members received
pay increases for 2006-07, accord
ing to faculty salary records from
the University’s Office of Human
Resources. The pay increases
include salary added for any posi
tion change, pay raises and other
stipends.
“If you pay competitive salaries,
you get the best faculty and keep
them,” Allred said. Faculty retention
is the University’s top priority.”
The rise in paychecks is a result
of a 6-percent increase in faculty
salaries appropriated by the N.C.
The freshman posted up on
one Notre Dame defender while
surrounded on all sides by two or
three others. Against most players,
Notre Dame would have forced a
turnover.
But Nogueira turned completely
around and sent a perfect pass
between the defenders and a few
yards in front of O’Reilly—the Apolo
Anton Ohno of women’s soccer.
O’Reilly outraced Notre Dame
goalie Lauren Karas to the ball,
deftly evaded the keeper and care

legislature. In addition to campus
based tuition and private sources,
each department and school was
able to add that amount to the
money they allocate for salaries.
But even with $26.5 million
added across the board since July
1, the University sits below the
average of its 15 peer institutions’
faculty salaries for professors,
associate professors and assistant
professors.
Below the curve
The average pay for a professor
at UNC is $115,300. The average
for 15 of UNC’s peer institutions’
professor salaries is $121,720.
UNC wants to be in the 80th
percentile in highest faculty sala
ries, but administrators say there’s
a long way to go.
“By our calculations, it would
take us about S4O million to get
