Sir Bailji ear Hrrl EDUCATION FROM PAGE 3 Committee considerations The importance of junior faculty is a concern for both the candidates and the search committee. Many professors in the educa tion field will retire within the next few years, but at the same time the student population is growing, Folkerts said, adding that hiring junior faculty is a way to prepare for this. Also in selecting the next dean, the 13-member search committee considers the evaluation forms that staff and faculty filled out after each candidate's forum. The committee also held a forum for each candidate to come discuss their ideas with the educa tion school community earlier this semester. Faculty responses School of Education faculty and staff members were encouraged to attend the candidate forums. “It is fair to say that were look ing for someone that is going to be a strong advocate for the mission that the UNC School of Education has, in terms of both research and practice, connecting those two as seamlessly as possi ble and focusing on the problems that are in public education in North Carolina," said Daniel Huff, a professor with the school. Huff also said he hopes the next dean will be both an external and internal advocate for the school, describing the next person as “some one who will speak to the powers that be in South Building but also can talk effectively to the board of education and state officials." Professor Fenwick English also said he would like a dean that gets along with a variety of people. “I'm looking for somebody who can reach out to different constit uencies that make up the School of Education superintendents, practitioners and particularly folks that work in the state legislation,” he said. English added that all three can didates seem strong. “I think this person’s got to come in and hit the ground running, so the School of Education can't be looking for a dean too long."

Liz Blayney, a sophomore who was just accepted to the school, said that she has not posted a question yet but that she finds the page useful. “It gives insight into the school and makes it really easy to check out events and network with other students," Blayney said. The school has eight academic departments, and more than 1,800 students applied last war. According to the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, the school enrolled 1,065 students in the fall of 2007, making it the University’s fourth-largest school in terms of enrollment numbers.

(AP) Barack Obama won the Wisconsin primary Tuesday night his ninth straight triumph oxer a fading Hillary Clinton in their epic struggle for the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama cut deeply into Clinton’s political bedrock, split ting the support of white women almost evenly with the former first lady and running well among working class voters in a blue col lar battleground. John McCain won the Republican primary with ease. Obama concedes credit to Patrick NILES, Ohio (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama said Monday that he doesn’t think it’s a big deal that he borrowed lines from his friend Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick although he probably should have given him credit. Patrick said during his guber natorial campaign a year and a half ago that words matter, like “I have a dream" and “all men are created equal." Clinton told reporters Monday, “If your whole candidacy is about words, those words should be vour own. That’s what 1 think." BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 3 with back-to-back 3-pointers. East Chapel Hill rolled with that momentum to a 16-point lead in the second half and went into a stall offense as early as midway through the third quarter. But Chapel Hill was not about to be ousted. The Tigers slowly yet surely chipped away at the lead, finally narrowing the gap to four points with 36 seconds left. “I wish we would have put them away better," Hartsfield said. “We didn’t take care of the basketball, and they crept back in it." Mebane said she hopes the Facebook page will help students make connections, share ideas and discuss issues with their classmates despite the school's size. The page is updated by Kirkland Lynch, a student in health policy and administration who w-orks in Mebane’s office. Shelly Hall, who is applying to the School of Nursing, said she wishes the nursing school would provide something similar to the School of Public Health’s Facebook page. “I feel like I could get a lot of information easily," Hall said. “I check my Facebook at least five times a day on average, so I feel like it would be an effective means of communication for other profes sional schools to use."

(AP) The Supreme Court dealt a setback Tuesday to civil rights and privacy advocates who oppose the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. The justices, without comment, turned down an appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union to let it pursue a lawsuit against the program that began shortly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The action underscored the dif ficulty of mounting a challenge to the eavesdropping, which is clas sified and was confirmed by Bush only after a newspaper article Musharraf called upon to step aside ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) A top opposition leader called Tuesday on President Pervez Musharraf to step aside after his ruling party conceded defeat in parliamentary elections. The vote was also a slap to Islamist parties, which lost control of a province where al-Qaida and Taliban filters have sought refuge. With counting from Monday's election nearly complete, the two main opposition parties won 154 of the 268 contested seats, accord ing to the Election Commission. Musharraf party trailed with 39 seats, and the group's leader acknowledged the loss.

The ACLU sued on behalf of itself, lawyers, reporters and schol ars, arguing that the program was illegal and that they were forced to alter their communications with foreigners who were likely to have been targets of the wiretapping. Troops restricted after alleged rape TOKYO (AP) - The U.S. mili tary restricted all personnel in Okinawa on Wednesday, limiting troops to bases, work places or off base housing, amid furor over the arrest of a Marine on suspicion of rape. The arrest last week of 38- vear-old Staff Sgt. Tyrone Luther Hadnott in the alleged rape of a 14-vear-old girl in Okinawa has sparked outrage in Japan, which hosts some 50,000 U.S. troops under a security treaty. Hadnott admitted to inves tigators that he forced the girl down and kissed her, but said he did not rape her, police said. and Small dropped in 10.
