4 FRIDAY. APRIL 4. 2008 TUITION FROM PAGE 1 of-staters saw a 51.250 increase. But this lack of in-state increase is an exception. Tuition and fees for in-state stu dents at UNC has increased 136 percent during the past 10 years. Although the University has raised vast sums of money to extend need-based aid to students, merit-based scholarships are more difficult to come by. Raynor said. According to a University mandate, each year 35 percent of tuition increases go to need-based aid. In contrast, of the S2lB million in aid dispersed this year, 7 percent went to merit-based aid, includ ing the prestigious Robertson and Morehead-Cain scholarships. Shirley Ort. associate provost and director of scholarships and student aid. said that 70 percent of entering freshmen apply for need based aid and that only about 34 percent receive it. “We don't want to discount the fact that for those families who just miss federal aid. We recognize that it’s a struggle." Ort said. Raynor said she that wants to reach out to the middle class but that even these cannot encompass all students' needs. “We can’t keep Covenant true to what it is by expanding the medi an income level for qualification," Raynor said. Instead, she said she wants to increase the coverage of the pro- FLOYD FROM PAGE 1 a potential candidate for the UNC system president position.

Students with family incomes of 200 percent of the federal poverty level qualify for the program, which allows them to graduate debt-free. Those families who do not quali fy for federal aid typically apply for private or institutional grants and generally take out more loans. While they might have more loams. Ort said, students usually don’t drop out of UNC because of financial con cerns from increased tuition. “The fundamental injustice is of selling this grand idea of Carolina and then failing to meet them with the resources to do it’ Raynor said. But tuition increases also are necessary to maintain the University's high educational stan dard, trustee Paul Fulton said. “A university with less quality at a cheaper price doesn’t mean any thing to anybody." Fulton said. A significant portion of tuition increases often fund faculty salaries as peers have set the bar higher. Fulton added that trustees have been trying to increase predictabil ity in their decisions. Raynor also stressed the impor tance of being able to see where student tuition dollars are spent. “1 really believe in a transparent tuition process,’ she said. “We need to stop approaching these debates as if they’re only going to happen this year because they happen every year."

The department did an evalua tion of its coverage of the festivities after the 2005 win, Gunter said. This year it plans to temporarily light up dark areas. When crowds head downtown for Halloween, police have the opportunity to set up traffic barri cades beforehand. But they won't this time because of the “spontane ity of the celebration," Gunter said. They will discourage people from carrying alcohol by providing disposal barrels, he said. The police will also try to elimi nate bonfires. “It is a very intense situation for police," Gunter said. Police have asked businesses to remove all signs and awnings that could be destroyed by fans. Stores were asked to restrict selling Carolina Blue paint until after the games. “We probably won't sell it," said Roy Brown, owner of Browns Paint and Hardware. “We will watch who well sell it to." Just as they increase their sup plies of food and alcohol, restau rants and bars will increase staff to deal with the rush. Calls for reservations for Top of the Hill began the minute the game against Louisville ended, floor manager Chris Sanders said. But Top of the Hill is not accepting reservations until game day. “As soon as we open we are going to allow people to pick out two seats they want to watch the game from," Sanders said. “That's the system we have had to resort to." To prepare for the “absolute onslaught of people" Top of the Hill expects, Sanders said he and the other managers have decided to spend the weekend there.

OTH FILE/DAVID ENARSON Fans celebrate on Franklin Street after a UNC win against Duke last year. Police are preparing for large crowds if UNC wins Saturday night. or winning the championship. “We definitely beef up in our security," Rippe said. More food, experienced staff and security are part of Spanky’s Restaurant and Bar’s plans for Saturday night, head manager Gavin Toth said. Toth said that he remembers championship game night in 2005 and that Spanky’s was packed. “It was more of a massive influx of people, with people rotating in and out of the restaurant pretty quickly," Toth said. Even though a win for the Heels means more work for police, Capt. Chris Blue said many will support the home team. “A large number of our officers are UNC graduates, so I suspect we will have some Tar Heels out there in uniform that night," Blue said.

So where the matchup ultimate ly might be decided, as is the case in so many UNC games, is when the Tar Heels push the ball. “They’re so good, as everybody knows, in transition," Self said. “They can just go get easy points."
