Dose
Shaqs got skills —but no longer badges
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is not the ripe of man to play favorites. The man regarded as
"the toughest sheriff in America," for forcing prisoners to eat green bologna
and wear pink underwear, has dismissed Shaquille O'Neal from the force,
stripping him of his badges as a result of the racially insensitive language used
during a freestyle rap during which he bashed former teammate Kobe Bryant.
Shaq attempted to save himself using the ole’ “I was just free-styling defense," but
Arpaio wasn't buying it.
“Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don't
condone this ripe of racial conduct." he said.
That's the way to lay down the law.
NOTED A Michigan judge agreed last week
to extend the leave of Aaron Kay by one week
so that he would be able to attend the grand
opening of a White Castle restaurant near his
home in Genoa Township, Mich.
Kay was determined to get a burger before
heading back to his base in Okinawa, Japan, say
ing that he was "kind of heartbroken" about the
possibility that he would miss the opening.

Student Union basement
to see permanent changes
Practice space,
food are options
BY ANIKA ANAND
STAFF WRITER
In the Student Union's base
ment, the bowling score tables
have sat lonely and unused for over
a year. What used to be a bowling
alley has been temporarily replaced
by pool and ping-pong tables and
makeshift rehearsal spaces.
But eventually there will be
some permanent changes, Union
Director Don Luse said. After con
ducting some spring assessments,
the Union has been working with
Clearscapes. a Raleigh architec
ture firm, to determine a feasibility
report for construction.
There have been a wide variety of
ideas tossed around for how to uti
lize the space. Of the ideas, a leader
ship development office is one pro
posal that Luse highlighted.
“We don’t want it confused with
the academic centers." he said. “It
would be a place where any stu
dent could walk in and be directed
to existing leadership programs
on campus, or do some self assess
ment, or enroll in a leadership
development course."
Associate Director of the Union
Scott Hudson also emphasized
the importance of improving the
rehearsal space for performance
groups in the face of a significant
space crunch.
“Performance space is so booked
on campus." Hudson said. “There's
a need for space and I think that
will probably be part of that down
stairs area."
Senior Ben Greene, a member
of CHiPs, an student improvisation
group, agreed. He said whenever the
group practices on the second floor
of the Union, inevitably someone
tells them to quiet down, a problem
that he says could be alleviated with
the addition of a sound-proof area.
The bowling alley was closed
due to profit losses. And though
bowling classes were offered as
physical education through the
exercise department, the profits
were not enough to keep the opera
tion afloat. Hudson said.
“The volume of business when
classes weren't in session at night on
the weekends was almost nonexis
tent," Hudson said. “It would have

taken over a million dollars to reno
vate it into anew bowling alley."
Luse said he would be willing
to extend the Union’s basement
hours. The space currently closes
at 1 a.m. during the school year.
“We would like the entire down
stairs area to be open well into the
night, past midnight," Luse said.
By working with Carolina Dining
Services, Luse also discussed open
ing additional I(hk1 providers.
Hudson reiterated that the
Union was interested in hearing
what students wanted.
“We held focus groups all last
semester, talking with various
student organizations and other
customers of the Union to try and

determine what needs are out
there," Hudson said.
After the Union receives the feasi
bility report, they will begin making
concrete plans and then t>egin the
process of getting approvals. At the
earliest, the project will be complet
ed two years from now, Luse said.
“We want it to be a place where
students want to be. So we've
taken lots of time, and we’ll take
more time in the future talking
to students to see what it needs to
look like and feel like. That’s very
important to us," Luse said.
