I'm prepared to do whatever's necessary." MIKE TARRANT, STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT smoothly. “We’re just trying to do what we can," she said. “We had some 4 a.m. e-mails going back and forth (Sunday) night we’re going to make the details work." The selection committee will hold interviews for applicants Thursday, in an effort to catch students before the Easter weekend. Traditionally, the new Cabinet is approved by the departing ses sion of Student Congress at its last meeting of the year. But that schedule is later this year, and Congress' final meeting is just a few days later. “I think we will call a special session of Congress." Speaker Tyler Younts said. "That’s what we’re planning on doing." Younts said that he has been coor dinating with the executive branch about this and other matters that need to be wrapped up and that everything has gone smoothly. The bigger question is whether applicants will be as strongly scru tinized as in years past when time allowed for more consideration. Raynor said her confidence in this year’s process lies in the more in-depth nature of the applications and the flexibility in scheduling that everyone has shown, as well as the fact that she is not directly a part of the process. “Because I’m not directly involved, I can handle the other applications.... It’s a hard place, but we're going to make it work,” she said. Contact the University Editor at udcxk(u une.edu.

Senior class giving still slow Less than 4 percent participate so far BY BEN BADEN i STAFF WRITER Donations to the senior cam paign have accelerated in recent months, though the participation level is still less than last year’s j class at the same time. As of early March, 153 seniors have pledged $13,878.80, said Scott Ragland, director of commu nications in the Office of University Advancement. Of the total donations given, 62 are specifically for Carolina for Ribera, the official charity of choice for the senior class. “I don’t think there’s much ! concern with it right now," said Veronica Mora, senior class vice president. “It’s something every one starts doing after Spring Break with the realization of graduation In latest Iraq violence, female suicide bomber kills at least 43 near mosque BAGHDAD (AP) - A female suicide bomber struck Shiite worshippers in the holy city of Karbala on Monday, an official and a witness said, killing at least 43 people and leaving pools of blood on the street leading to one of Iraq’s most revered mosques. The blast was the deadliest in a series of attacks that left at least 72 Iraqis dead, including six youths killed when mortar rounds hit a soccer field in Baghdad. Two U.S. soldiers also were killed Monday in a roadside bombing north of Baghdad, bringing the American death Violence blamed on Tibetan rebels BEIJING (AP) China vowed Monday to defend its sovereignty in Tibet as Chinese troops set up checkpoints and mobiliz.ed to quell an uprising. A deadline for Tibetan protesters to turn themselves in passed without any apparent surrenders or arrests. Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao blamed the vio lence on supporters of the Dalai I-ara, who fled in 1959 after a failed uprising against Chinese rule. “The violent acts have demon strated the true nature of the Dalai clique," Jianchao said at a hastily called news conference. coming up. Less than 4 percent of the senior class has donated. The goal is to have 30.5 percent of the senior class participate. Mora said that this small per centage is common and that last year at the same time about 6 percent of the senior class had donated. “We’re telling people just to give in general but especially to CFK," Senior Marshal Justin Crouch said. A little more than 40 percent of the donations so far have been given to CFK. and no other char ity has more than a handful of donors. Other groups receiving donations include the Ackland Art Museum and the School of Nursing Foundation, which are the second and third most popu lar groups, respectively. “Were going to be in the Pit a lot more after Spring Break," Mora said. “With Spring Fest at the end of April, most students can get in by giving a can food donation, but we are encouraging seniors to give a donation to the senior campaign." Mora expects that Wednesday's Commencement information ses sion will put seniors in the giving mood. And in addition to the seniors themselves, others are making pledges to the senior campaign. There are two donors promising to match the senior class's dona- TOURNAMENT FROM PAGE 1 he said.

At least 3,990 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The violence marred trips by Vice President Dick Cheney and Sen. John McCain to Baghdad. Their visits were aimed at touting recent security gains and stress ing Washington’s commitment to fighting insurgents in Iraq.

Kosovo (AP) Serb demon strators attacked international peacekeepers with rocks, gre nades and Molotov cocktails Monday, setting off the worst violence in Kosovo since it declared independence from Serbia last month. Rallies of gunfire were exchanged, injuring 132 in hours of clashes betw-een U.N. and NATO forces and protesters out side a U.N. courthouse. The clashes began when the U.N. stormed the courthouse to pull out protesters w ho opposed Kosovo’s independence.

UNC alumnus David Pardue and his wife, Becky, are matching dona tions given to CFK up to $25,000. Mora said. Reactions to the selection of CFK as the official class gift have been mixed. Senior Scott Farmer said he donat ed to the Kenan-Flagler Business School because he was told there will be renovations there soon. “I figured (seniors) would just like to see something, whether it’s charity in Chapel Hill, they would like to be able to come back and see some of the changes that have occurred," Farmer said. Other students are well-versed and excited about the work that CFK is doing on campus. “I’ve read a lot about it," said senior biomedical engineering major Sagar Rathic, who donated to CFK. He added that while he thought CFK was a worthwhile organiza tion. the most important thing is that seniors participate. Contact the University Editor at udeskfa unc.edu. After a day off Monday, the team will hold a light practice today and a regular practice Wednesday. On Thursday the Tar Heels will practice in Chapel Hill then head to the RBC Center in Raleigh, w-here they’ll practice on the court on which they will play their first round game Friday night. The problem is, the NCAA only gives teams 40 minutes of practice time, requiring the rest of their time to be spent in press conferences and media appear ances. "If they gave us more than 40 minutes, I’d just practice over there," Williams said. "But I can’t clear my throat in 40 minutes." Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.
