14 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 Lost Union items find new homes at yard sale BY ANITA CARTER STAFF WRITER One student left the Student Union with a cane Wednesday, another with an American-Indian costume and a third with her redis covered diamond ring. All were coming from Alpha Phi Omegas lost-and-found yard sale, where the coed sendee fraternity was selling items that have been unclaimed on UNO’s campus for six months or more. The objects came from the University’s lost and found, which the fraternity runs. “I think it’s a wonderful idea. I’m definitely buying,” said fresh man Ben Booker as he rummaged through a pile of sunglasses, find ing a pair of gold-rimmed Aviators with a missing ear piece. “I think people like junk when it’s for a good cause.” The sale is held once a semes ter, with all proceeds going toward Alpha Phi Omegas Campus Chest. Officials said they raised more than SSOO at Wednesday’s sale. The fraternity makes donations from the Campus Chest to charities including UNC Dance Marathon, PTA Thrift Shop and A Helping Hand: Alley Leahy, Alpha Phi Omega lost and found chairwoman, stressed the importance of the sale for students. “I feel like a lot of people don’t know about lost and found,” Leahy said, adding that there were a variety of items to be claimed available. Items such as textbooks, jewelry, cell phones and calculators were there for the taking, all selling for $5 or less. Free baby clothes Free diapers Free toys Free baby bottles &more!

The Tar Heels won their third match in a row to improve to 3-1 on the season while the Spartans fell to 3-2 with the loss. UNC outshot the Spartans 12- 3 and junior goalkeeper Anna Rodenbough, a Greensboro native, posted her first solo shutout of the Tar Heals gear up for next tournament, invitational WOMENS GOLF The North Carolina women's golf team teed off its season last weekend at the Cougar Classic in Hanahan, S.C., recording a tie for sixth in the 20-team tournament. UNC was expected to contend for the team title, but a slow start on the first day of play left them fighting an uphill battle the rest of the weekend. "The thing that was the difference to me was making more putts," Junior Lauren Hunt led UNC and tied for. 20th at the Cougar Classic. coach Sally Austin said. “We’re setting ourselves up to shoot low numbers, but this game, it's just like field hockey and soccer. You set it up, you've got to convert, got to make those goals. We’re put ting the ball in position to shoot low numbers, but now we've got to get the ball home." North Carolina finished the week end with a three-day score of 889, 19 shots behind the winning team Notre Dame. UNC shot its best round on day two of the tournament with a 291.

The Carolina defense, led by senior All-America Jessica Maxwell and sophomore Kristi Eveland, has limited opponents to only 13 shots in four games this season. Ariel Harris had to sit out Wednesday’s game, but Meghan Klingenberg filled in admirably at the right back spot. UNC head coach Anson Dorrance got to play his bench extensively for the first time this really hard on the short game aspect, and that really paid off this weekend. Austin was also impressed by Hunt's performance. "All she's got to do is knock one or two shots off her game, and she's going to be up in fire top 10, top five. contending to win," Austin said. Hunt also said the team was not pleased with the final standings. "We're disappointed that we couldn't really pull it all quite togeth er as a team. (In the) last round, we kind of finished worse than what we expected we were going to do," she said. 'We could've made more putts. I think that was our weakness as a team." UNC has now shifted its focus towards its home tournament, the Tar Heel Invitational, coming up in early October at Finley Golf Course. 'I think the main thing for our' home tournament is knowing that it's our home turf and that we know the course bitter than any other team out there," Hunt said. "And, not to put too much pres sure on ourselves, but to know that we've all shot way under par at this tournament and we're capable of winning even though iome of the best teams ip the country are going to be here. We still have just as good a chance as they do.’ -COMPILED BY DAVID REYNOLDS CROSS COUNTRY The UNC cross country teams press onward in the 2007 season lailg (Ear Urrl season as the Tar Heels used 23 players in the game.
