VOLUME 114, ISSUE 149 Ticket review impacts hopefuls Some say issue still pertinent BY JORDAN LAWRENCE STAFF WRITER With Wednesday’s announce ment of plans to change the ticket distribution policy for next year, candidates in this year’s campus elections say they don’t think it changes their game plans. Many are using ticket distribu tion as a key platform plank, and the proposed changes are affect ing die races for Carolina Athletic Association president and student body president the most. Candidates in these races said that the changes would improve the system but that they want to get student input through interactive events such as forums if elected. Under the new plan, students would be given general admission tickets and a specific time slot to enter the game, allowing large groups to sit together. The plan also proposes monthly lottery sign-ups and standby lines. CAA president candidates Colby Almond and Marcus Carpenter have large sections of their platforms dedicated to reforming the system. Carpenter’s platform focuses on a mixed distribution, where upper level seats are decided by lottery and lower distributed with bracelets. “I do think it’s better than what we have,” he said. “If that’s all the administration is willing to do, it could be acceptable.” Almond declined to offer an opinion on the new system, saying there had not had enough time to judge the process. He emphasizes a penalty system and a standby line in his platform. He also is the only candidate to focus on spouse and family tickets, as well as a change to the riser system. Both candidates said the new plan should improve spirit. “Those that want the good seats are going to show up early,” Almond said. “This is not to say that those who don’t show up early aren’t great fans, but the fans who show early will really covet the tickets.” Carpenter expressed concern about the proposed general admis sion seating. “It could get pretty SEE TICKETS, PAGE 4 GET TUNED IN TO TICKETS DTH Editor in Chief Joe Schwartz will host a WXYC radio show at 5 p.m. Sunday featuring both CAA president candidates discussing the proposed ticket policy.

Integration a struggle for all BY MEGHAN DAVIS SENIOR WRITER The University admitted its first black undergraduates in 1955 making UNC the first integrated state university in the Southeast. It took Chapel Hill public schools almost a decade to follow suit. Black History Month The University made history, but students at Lincoln High School, Chapel Hill’s segregated black high school, lost a piece of theirs. Students used old textbooks and equipment to achieve at high levels. Desegregation gave them access to better facilities but virtually erased many of their accomplishments. announcement YOUR ELECTION GUIDE Visit www.dailytarheel.com for a full interactive guide to this year's student elections with audio from the four student body president hopefuls.

Harding finished with 16 points and 9 boards, and Duke retained its No. 1 ranking and undefeated record. Blue Devils prevail in low-scoring, sloppy game BY KRISTIN PRATT SENIOR WRITER It’s not every season that an unbeaten No. 2 team has the chance to take away a No. 1 rank ing and an undefeated record from its oppo nent especially 24 games into the season. No. 2 North Carolina had that opportu nity coming into Thursday’s sold-out game against No. 1 Duke at home. But the Tar Heels (24-1, 8-1 in the ACC) were not able to capitalize on their chance to knock off their Tobacco Road rivalst2s - losing 64-53 in one of their worst offensive performances of the season. “We’ve gotta get past this one,” senior for Halting steps Lincoln High School’s successes accumulated within a short history of educating local black students. The area provided little public schooling to black students until 1930, when black parents voted to join the Chapel Hill school district. The parents renamed the existing black high school “Lincoln” in 1948. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision did little to improve black education. North Carolina responded with the Pearsall Plan, which gave school assignment authority to local school districts.

As it turned out, she was right. The Blue Devils held UNC to a season-low 53 points, just two 3-pointers and a 27-3 field goal per centage. “I was just proud that we maintained our poise,” Duke head coach Gail Goestenkors Said. “I think it was a great team effort with our defense.” The Blue Devils’ 53 total rebounds were a major part of their game, she pointed out. requests to transfer schools. The Rev. John Manley, minister of the black First Baptist Church, was elected. Yet few requests were granted. Then in the summer of 1961, three new members joined the school board: Mary Scroggs, Fred Ellis and Richard Peters. All called progres sives, their votes joined Manley’s in favor of active desegregation. The board voted to grant transfer requests to first-graders. The Chapel Hill Weekly ran this on July 6,1961: “Chapel Hill this week became the first school district in the South to approve voluntarily a plan for assign ing Negro students to schools on a geographic rather than racial basis.” SEE INTEGRATION, PAGE 4 il “We did a good job on the boards,” Goestenkors said. “To stay with them and actually come out ahead on the boards is tough.” Center Alison Bales was an important factor for Duke, getting seven blocks and 14 rebounds, and staying in the path of Tar Heel players.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2007 Moeser admits tuition worries Defends trustees’ increases to BOG BY ERIC JOHNSON SENIOR WRITER GREENSBORO - Chancellor James Moeser on Thursday came out strongly in favor of a change in the University’s approach toward out-of-state tuition. Acknowledging that he was not entirely comfortable with this year’s tuition and fee pro cess, Moeser said the Board of Trustees’ policy does hot require enough UNC TUITION $2007 justification for raising rates on non resident undergraduates. “It seems to be tuition for tuition’s sake,” he said. “That’s not the way we should approach tuition.” Those remarks came after a meeting in which Moeser stridently defended the $1,250 nonresident increase proposed by trustees. He told the UNC-system Board of • Governors that the added revenue is sorely needed to support competi tive faculty salaries, and the BOG is likely to approve the increase during its session this morning. But later, while stressing that the need for additional funding is real, Moeser said that trustees should reconsider their target of raising nonresident tuition up to the 75th percentile of the University’s peer institutions. “I think that’s an arbitrary goal,” he said. “There needs to be abetter process, and we are seriously going to look into the board’s policy.” Criticism of the trustees’ out- SEE BOG, PAGE 4 COUNTDOWN TO ELECTIONS: 4^DAYS COME TO THE DTH ELECTIONS FORUM 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday Hanes Art Center UNC alumna Anne Litt was honored for her work as music supervisor for "Little Miss Sunshine." as music supervisor for “Little Miss Sunshine” that has garnered the 1988 alumna a Grammy nomination.
