Shaddi Hasan, a sophomore who lives in Morrison Residence Hall's Sustainability Learning Community, said he wants to create a smaller Freecycle group for UNC students. “Students would be more willing to join if it was just UNC students, rather than the whole commu nity," Hasan said. “Students don’t necessarily have cars to drive to Hillsborough." One of Hasans favorite Freecycle finds is a Sen. Joseph McCarthy campaign poster. National and World News FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL Toni Morrison endorses Obama WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The woman who famously labeled Bill Clinton as the “first black president" is backing Barack Obama to be the second. Author Toni Morrison said her endorsement of the Democratic presidential candidate has little to do with Obamas race, but rather his persona] gifts. Morrison said she has admired Clinton for years because of her knowledge and mastery of poli tics, but then dismissed that experience in favor of Obama's vision. Romney decries ‘liberal’ policies JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Mitt Romney and John McCain accused each other Monday of being liberals, a charge tantamount to blas phemy in the caustic campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. One day before the Florida primary, Romney lambasted McCain for a host of “liberal answers" to the country’s prob lems. Among them: legislation curbing money in politics and a more forgiving view of illegal immigrants. games it nHUE . 65 1J 8 2 4 4 7 7_ 1 5 61 7 2 3 4 8 ■ . —.... 1 2 7 1 9 3 8 915 I 1 H Mention this ad and get $2.00 off your order!

The group says it saves about 300 tons of material from entering landfills every day. Freecycle’s Orange County branch was created in 2004 after a Freecycle Triangle group had grown too large. Kelli Gaskill, a UNC alum na and employee in the Department of Computer Science, is the owner of Freecycle Orange County-. Owners and moderators approve new members and monitor posts to ensure the safety of group mem bers, Gaskill said.

As mourners watched the funeral procession, many sobbed and called out “Suharto" whose rule, though harsh, brought eco nomic growth to Indonesia. Suharto died Sunday of mul tiple organ failure. He was 86.

But for users striving to reduce the amount of waste in landfills, the group offers a way to connect with others sharing similar goals. “It seems that people are genu inely interested in giving to their neighbors and receiving from their neighbors," Feldacker said. “Every time you put something up as an offer or get something you wanted, its just a reaffirmation that the community works."

But survivors want those responsible for atrocities to be held accountable. “I cannot understand why I have to forgive Suharto because he never admitted his mistakes," said Putu Oka Sukanta, who spent a decade in prison for left wing sympathies. The bulk of killings occurred in 1965-66 during his rise to power. The government esti mates 78,000 died, but U.S. historians Barbara Harff and Ted Robert Gurr cite 1 million deaths.

News Wrestling team takes one of two in ACC road trip WRESTLING 1 In what was a bittersweet week end, the UNC wrestling team fell to Virginia 18-13 but trounced Virginia Tech 22-12. Coach C.D. Mock said he is slightly frustrated by the Tar Heels’ 6-4 mark (2-2 in the ACC) but is con fident in the team's ability. “I wanna be 10-0," Mock said. “Really, though, I don't pay much attention to that We're capable of winning the ACC tournament and that's our goal.' UNC's Drew Forshey pinned Va. Tech’s Steve Armour in 4:13 to lead the Tar Heels' winning effort Forshey was joined by junior Keegan Mueller, who earned his fifth straight win by major derision or technical fall with an 11 -0 shutout of his opponent Saturday. Mock pointed to confidence as a prime factor in the junior's success this year. "The only difference between Keegan this year and Keegan last year is confidence," Mock said. “He doesn't fall apart in dose matches, he maintains focus.' Though it might not have translated directly into meet victories the UNC STUDY ABROAD FROM PAGE 3 “I think the biggest problem was that my credits didn't transfer until the end of last semester when 1 was registering for the spring semester,” said Jessica Alcorn, a junior who studied abroad in Sevilla. Spain. “Because I didn’t know what they gave me credit for, I have had a hard time figuring out which classes I still need to take." she said. The office also had to resolve the credit issue at a time when it has the most work. During January and February the office has a lot of work because of students applying for summer programs, Goforth said. “This past year we had a record number of students applying for summer programs so we had to deal with that with a temporary staff." she said. But the issues within the office are starting to get fixed, and Goforth said they hope to have everything resolved during this semester.

COMPILED BY BRIAN WILLETT [TRACK 6 FIELD The North Carolina track and field teams have benefited from outstand ing freshman performances more than once this season. During last weekend's Perm State Invitational, UNC registered three first place finishes—all by freshmen. In his first weight throw competi tion of the year, freshman Walter Henning, a four-time weight throw national champion in high school, nearly set an NCAA automatic mark. His first-place toss of 70 feet 3 inches blew past the provisional mark of 63 feet 11.75 inches —a mere 3.5 inches short of automatic qualification. UNC also received first-place efforts from freshmen Patience Coleman and Callan fike.

COMPILED BY JOHN DOUGHERTY [fencing ] The North Carolina fencing teams got a lot of mileage under their belts this weekend both in literal travel miles and fencing experience. They started the weekend at the Penn State Duals on Saturday, where both the men's and women's teams finished 2-1, and then the men's team quickly traveled to Baltimore for the Johns Hopkins Duals the next day. They swept the competition 5-0. 'The men's team continued to have some inconsistency, especially against Johns Hopkins," head coach Ron Miller said in a statement On the women's side, UNC dropped its first match to Temple, but rebound ed to take the other two matchups against Haverford and Drew.
