shr Hotly sar flrri UNC clicking in ACC play BY POWELL LATIMER ASSISTANT SPOUTS EDITOR Erlar.a Larkins is back in her element. Always a bruiser in the low post, the senior power forward has stormed through the opening games of North Carolina's ACC schedule. Maybe it’s the glove of padding she’s sported on her left hand since suffering a fracture in a win against Libert). Maybe it’s simply talent. Whatever the reason, Larkins has come out swinging at the start of conference play, averag ing 18 points and 9.3 rebounds. Compare that to her season averages of 12.6 points and 8.4 boards, and the improvement is dramatic. When asked about Larkins’ improvement in the past couple of games, UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell just smiled like she knew what was coming all along. “That just shows how tough she is,’ Hatchell quipped after a win against Virginia Tech. Larkins' renewed dominance in the post is just part of the Tar Heels' change in play now that the confer ence season is upon them. Already an elite scoring team, several UNC starters have upped their scoring in conference games. However, nowhere is the recent improvement more pronounced than in Italee Lucas. The fresh man guard struggled at times early in the season and often looked out of sorts in Hatchell's hyper-speed offense. However, against N.C. State last Sunday. Lucas had zero turnovers for the first time this BAR NIGHT FROM PAGE 3 do, we’re doing our job." Cowan said the event’s organiz ers will pass out cards to students as they leave, with information includ ing facts about the honor system, guidelines for blood alcohol content levels, phone numbers for a taxi ser vice and the P2P, and a list of ways to get home without driving. Suggestions include selecting a WASTE SITE The public will have the most say in discussing these criteria. The next search discussion will be held Jan. 29 at 5:45 p.m., before the regularly scheduled meeting. A preliminary decision will be whether the site should be located on land already for sale or if the board will be open to condemning private property.

If Lucas —a highly touted high school recruit can give UNC another reliable option at the point to go along with Cetera DeGraffenreid, the Tar Heels will have truly impressive depth, some thing that injuries to several key Tar Heels have done their best to pre vent this season. Senior point guard Alex Miller went down with a knee injury Nov. 16 against Coppin State. Then designated driver before going out, calling a cab or a friend —and taking the P2P or Safe Ride bus home. Although the event started as a joke among Honor Court officials. Shores said she thought it would be much more likely to get seniors' attention than mass e-mails that might be deleted before they were even opened. She said senior class officials might consider partnering with Alice Gordon said the Eubanks Road site originally was proposed because the county already owns the land. The land is currently a landfill built in 1972. Residents were told it would only be there for 10 to 15 years. In March, the board of commis sioners decided to locate a waste transfer station at that site rather than close the landfill, eliciting the protests.

N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper co-chaired a group of repre sentatives from several states that reached an agreement Monday with the social networking site after two years of discussion. But both national and N.C. child advocacy groups have concerns about whether this agreement goes far enough. “This is a first step," said Teri Schroeder, founder and CEO of i-SAFE America, a non-profit that deals with Internet safety educa tion. “The jury's still out.’ Cooper helped work out a deal with MySpace that would expand the age group whose online pro files are automatically set as “pri vate" from 14- and 15-year-olds to include 16- and 17-year-olds. It would also allow parents to submit children's e-mail addresses to prevent them from signing up. Schroeder said her main cri tique is that MySpace has no way to verify the age of a child registrant.

She said it’s easy to come into contact with just about anyone on the Web site. “All it takes is just one MySpace message and there you go." She said that while most stu dents transition to the Facebook Web site once they enroll in col lege. she still uses her MySpace to talk to her friends from home who haven't graduated. Langley added that ultimately children have to depend on their own judgment. “You can’t hide your child from the world forever.'
