Shr Satiy for Hrrl Queen City native to lead Tar Heel ‘D’ BY DANIEL PRICE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR . Just one week after announc ing the departure of defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano, North Carolina is on the verge of hiring his replacement. Minnesota confirmed Monday evening that its defensive coordina tor and former Appalachian State defensive back, Everett Withers, will leave the Golden Gophers to fill UNC’s vacancy. . Withers, the highest-paid assis tant in UM history, was with the Golden Gophers for just one year and had a rough time of it, as Minnesota finished last in NCAA Division I Bowl Subdivision last season in total defense. UNC’s other’ freshmen step up Lucas, Gray contribute during weekend BY MIKE EHRLICH ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Close to midway through the first half of Sunday’s game against Florida State, two North Carolina freshmen made a rookie mistake. Winning 31-18, the Tar Heels were running a full-court press after every made basket. So after Rebecca Gray hit a free throw, UNC set up its defense. But Gray and fellow frosh Italee Lucas allowed FSU’s Tanae Davis- Cain to streak downcourt and receive a football-style inbound pass for an easy layup. UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell was less than pleased, to put it lightly. She immediately called a timeout, during which she chewed out her two young guards. But the duo would respond. Shortly after the stoppage, Lucas drew a foul and drained both freebies. Then, after she missed two more free throws and a. Seminole knocked the rebound oht of bounds. Lucas corralled her own missed 3-pointer and scored in the paint. ! She would finish the game with e|ght points off the bench. After the game, Hatchell was more pleased with the play of her two young guards. ' ‘I told Italee, we gotta get her readv for some of the big games," Hatchell’said. *1 ’ve been trying to play her more and trying to help her with her decision mak ing, because she’s made some big shots." ■ Hatchell was complimentary of the way Gray responded in the ghme as well. J *1 thought Rebecca Gray played Studying the art of flirting Appearances, flattery cited as key BY AMANDA YOUNGER SUFF WRITER Everyone has his own approach. “Girl you’re like Lucky Charms. You're magically delicious.” '.A clever, “Baby, what’s your screen name?" Even a simple, “How are you?" of “What’s your name?” Whether it’s a clever one-liner or a simple greeting, men and women alike face a barrage of flirting and “mackin” at every sip of a drink at a bar or every motion toward a club dance floor. “Most of them come up with some corny line," sophomore Alyssa Medina said. “I’ve seen it work, and itls kind of sad." Nick Herrera, a lecturer at Northwestern University, whose studies center on the ins and outs of flirting, said that people flirt for a variety of reasons. “In order to really know what to do in response, you have to at tQe very least have an idea why tljey flirt,” he said. 'Almost as varied as the approaches are the reasons for that ii|itial and often awkward encoun ter. ' Herrera said people flirt to be friendly and satisfy their curiosity, bat physical attraction is the domi nant reason for flirting. ' “Do you wash your panties in Mfindex because I can see myself in them," was one memorable line heard by junior Lauren Boening.

Before his year at Minnesota, Withers spent five seasons with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. From 2002 to 2004, Tennessee recorded 57 interceptions, the franchises best run for a three-year period since 1993 to 1995. In his last collegiate position before the 2007 season, the Charlotte native was the defensive backs coach at Texas from 1998 to 2000. There well," she said. “She did some nice things out there for us. She was 3- for-4, nine points and just had a nice game." While it has been fellow fresh man Cetera DeGraffenreid who’s been the recipient of most of the hype and ink this year, the con tributions of these two will be key down the stretch as contests against both Tobacco Road rivals loom before the postseason. Both freshmen have had to over come obstacles this year. For Gray, it was a stress fracture in her foot that caused her to miss four games in January. Sunday's performance was her best since returning to the court. And the flashy Lucas has battled a tendency to turn the ball over on her frequent no-look passes and crossovers. Her 0.74-to-l assist-to turnover ratio calls her decision making abilities into question, and her five turnovers against the Seminoles were above her average ofabout 3.5 per contest. Senior star Erlana Larkins pointed out an area of improve ment that the freshmen have worked on since the beginning of the year. She said that they have improved their entry passes to her in the post. “They’re doing a better job of throwing the ball in there when they can see my numbers, figur ing out where to pass it.... I just think they’re understanding me more, and where and when to pass the ball." If the pair is able to stay healthy and contribute solid minutes, allowing DeGraffenreid to stay fresh, the Tar Heels could be a dan gerous foe come tournament time. “I guess it starts off a conver sation, if she’s not too pissed," Boening said. She said she prefers a more sub tle gesture when being approached by someone. “What works best is the casual smile from across the room," she said. ‘Just the little things are always better than the blatant." Attraction is not just the result of years of socialization on beauty and sex appeal but is more inher ent, said Marian Morry, psychol ogy professor at the University of Manitoba in Canada. ‘Babies at about 2 or 3 months can pick out what is attractive," she said. ‘Babies prefer the same sort of faces adults find attrac tive." Features one finds attractive are often facial symmetry and people who are similar in physical appear ance. “How cute you are is as cute as your date will be,” Morry said. She also said that flirting and attraction exhibit some patterns between men and women. Most of the time, because women wait for men to make a move, men don’t because they wait for a “green light" before taking that chance. “There is some research that men usually wait until women look them over twice before they make the first move," she said.

It has always been a dream of Everett’s to coach at the University of North Carolina, and it would have been very difficult for him to not pur sue this opportunity."

And many men on campus said that they feel the same and that they try to stay away from pick-up lines. “If it gets that title, it’s usu ally pretty tacky," freshman Kevin Whitfield said. Whitfield said that eye contact, a casual smile and a bit of playing hard to get will often pique his interest. Donn Byrne, a professor at the University at Albany, said the art of flirtation and attraction often hinges on flattery. “Even if they’re lying, people almost don’t care, they want to hear good things about them selves."

N.C. Central University is pushing an extensive plan that would involve buying out long standing residential property along the campus’s main streets. Fayetteville and East Lawson, to make room for new campus facili ties. The master plan, consisting of four stages stretching into 2017, aims to provide numerous new facilities including a student union, a library, a business school and res idence halls. But the planned expansion into the neighboring community has caused some concern. “I was born in Lincoln Hospital, just down the road and have lived in this area all my life," said Amelia Thorpe, a resident of Dunbar Street. “I have to watch everything that I have known be destroyed, and that’s just sad." But she added that she is also pleased to see the university's growth and expansion. The master plan addresses the sensitive nature of the develop ment, with plans to increase facil ity area by 79 percent while only increasing the actual campus area by 22 percent. Durham City Councilman Howard Clement said that the uni versity needs expansion and that he has offered to help with the process in the community. Similar skepticism has met the Carolina North satellite campus expansion plan, a 50-year plan to set up expanded campus facili ties.

JOHN AGER, NEIGHBORHOODS FOR RESPONSIBLE GROWTH UNC-CH has so far been proac tive in informing the community of its goals and plans with Carolina North. But he acknowledged that there are political and commercial goals essential to the University that do not necessarily coincide with the best interests of the community. “There were similar discussions and questions concerning the hos pital community," Ager said. “But once they had the money, they went ahead and built every thing, and now it is an architec tural hodgepodge." He said balancing community and University needs could remain a contentious process. “It's going to be difficult to con tinue without infringing upon community rights." Ager said. "The main element of the prob lem is traffic and the impact that it has on the rest of the town." Michael Palmer, director for the Office of Community Aff airs at Duke University, said univer sity expansion is a complicated process unique to each institu tion. Palmer said the last expansion Duke had was three years ago on land that the university already owned, so the main problems with the community involved building heights. “You have to see the relation ship with the community and ensure that the institution has a process to listen to those issues and incorporate them." Palmer said. Contact the State W National Editor at stntdesk(a une.edu. Campus safety UNC is pushing a text messag ing program to inform students of emergencies. See pg. 5 for story.
