4 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2008 REBOUNDING FROM PAGE 1 blowout win. “Well, it was a really great day for us." Williams said after that game. “It was probably our best game of the year in our half-court defense, and it was probably our best game of the year in our half court offense." It helped that the Tar Heels forced Va. Tech to miss 40 shots, creating 40 rebound opportunities on just one end of the floor. Rebounding doesn't always equate to wins and losses the Tar Heels lost while out-rebounding Maryland by eight and Duke by 11 —but it is a crucial trump card UNC has against any opponent. Compared to some of UNC's peers at the top of the polls, rebounding could give the Tar Heels a huge edge if they meet up in the NCAA tournament. Duke. Tennessee and Texas all top-10 teams don't even crack the top 50 in rebounding margin. On the flip side, UCLA, Stanford, Kansas and Memphis are all near the top of the rebound ing rankings. That could negate any UNC rebounding advantage in a poten- NOW OPEN i| CLUCK-l isKumoaf jj ;; Wing Sauces 11 *** Old Time I Gourmet I! rworitw 1 Flavors H r J | Thermonuclear "■-Caribbean lerkV] Mustard ]\f "StSOOFF~'J { 40CWINGS"'}jj • * Any order of ‘ * Monday -Wednesday: | $lO or more | | M*i wings • Bleu Cliewelxtr* |: iiSB SSL SS:ST mto-i**. *-ATfc!

However, while Stanford is led by seven-foot twins Brook and Robin Lopez, UNC gets its work on the boards done with much less height. Hansbrough is the tallest tree at only 6-foot*9. but his tenacity nets him 10.5 rebounds per game, good for Kith in the country. And the rest of the Tar Heels take their rebounding cue from the relentless Hansbrough. "Tyler's an animal," Ellington said. “He's so aggressive and he’s after it all the time."

But many more students instead rely on loans and other grants. There are students who are not eligible for need-based aid who rely on private loans and who also rely on Perkins Loans to supplement federal aid," Turner said. “If it’s harder for those students to receive those loans, or they’re more expensive, that's certainly a detrimental effect." Congress has already increased Pell Grants through the College Cost Reduction and Access Act. signed into law in September 200“ The bill increased the maximum grant amount for the 2007-08 aca demic year from 54.050 to $4,310 and provides for a gradual increase to $5,400 by 2012. "The Pell Grant increases Obama and Clinton both talk about were included in this new law," Rachel Racusen, deputy communications director for the House Committee on Education and Labor, stated in an e-mail. That increase has been funded by cutting roughly S2O billion in federal subsidies for private loan companies, she stated. Although the cuts have already caused many loan companies to scale back or shut down. Obama and CGs&Eszfe <S-> - - tit Call Us! fit UNC CAMPUS & CARRBORO 919-929-0246 412 E.

The UNC system will be largely sheltered because the chief state lender, the College Foundation of North Carolina, is continuing its low - cost loan program for at least a year. Steve Brooks, N.C.

Kervvin said "This is the first time OWASA has used surcharges as one of the tools for drought response." Carrboro Alderman Randee Haven-O’Donnell said she doesn't think the increase in fees will prompt people to conserve water. “Folks won’t look at the water coming out of the tap the way they'll look at filling up their car with gasoline," she said. She said that customers who have been conserving water should not be charged more and that customers who are using water irresponsibly should see fee increases. College Foundation, received fed eral compensation prior to the sub sidy cuts, Rhinehardt said. “They took it from one area of education and applied it to anoth er," she said. “I think what it does is give the students fewer choices.’ But Turner said an increase in federal grants helps stretch finan cial aid funds at UNC-CH. “Anytime there's an increase in Pell Grants it helps our University funds go further for students." Contact the State f National Editor at xtntdexkfa unc.edu. Holland said that conservation, not revenue, is the ultimate goal. But Alderman Dan Coleman said the increased fees will have a positive impact if it keeps the town from running out of water. “Hopefully, what will come out of our experience is a whole range of improved policies in terms of how we use water in the commu nity," he said. Carrboro resident Karen Saube said she expects her bill to increase if Stage 3 restrictions ait- implemented because she has three children. Although she said OWASA is being proactive in its conserva tion measures, she suggested that OWASA follow the example of her home state. “I come from California, and any time there's a shortage, there are a lot of rebates," she said. “I think they should do more to help the customers help us help them."

Mary Sue Coleman. Members of campus groups and organizations at UNC said they believe considering minority can didates is vital. “We wanted to make sure that our organization went on record that the search committee make extra effort to consider woman and minority candidates." said Rhonda Gibson, journalism professor and presi dent of the Association for Women Faculty and Professionals. But Shanika Paylor, executive assistant of the Black Student Movement, said she is concerned that the largest group on campus is the one getting the least represen tation in the search students. “I wouldn't say the committee has a poor idea of what BSM has in mind but that it may not have a good idea of what students have in mind," she said. “I think there should be more than a document to represent what the student body Is looking for." Beneath the suggestions, another factor continues to creep into the minds of students and faculty Un closed nature of the search. Few will know who the chancellor is before the person takes the position. “I completely disagree with the fact that the search is closed." Gibson said. “But I understand why they have chosen to do this, and I think the reason they have chosen to do it is in the best interests of the University."
