Tar Heels rout RU
for rare away win
BY MIKE EHRLICH
SENIOR WRITER
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - For the
first time in a long time, the Tar
Heels delivered on the big stage.
Thursday night. ESPN. The
eyes of the nation looking on to
see if the Tar Heels would live up
to the preseason hype.
And for the first time since
2002, North Carolina won out
side its home state.
UNC dominated field position,
won the turnover battle and got
another big game from emerging
all-purpose star Brandon Thte in
a 44-12 rout to improve to 2-0 for
the first time since 2000.
“It was a big step for this new
team in this new era that we’re
under right now,” sophomore
safety Deunta Williams said.
“With a big win like this, it just
gives us a lot more confidence.
“Coach (Butch) Davis always
talks about playing in the games
with the blimps in the sky, and I
definitely saw one out there today.
And we all performed.”
The Tar Heels were in control
of all phases of the game against a
Rutgers team that looked hapless
in its own stadium.

North Carolina defense takes control
BY DAVID ELY
SENIOR WRITER
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - North Carolina
sophomore comerback Kendric Burney had
seen enough.
For the second consecutive drive, Rutgers
looked poised to break through against
North Carolina’s defense.
Scarlet Knight quarterback Mike Teel was
making it look easy, completing five of his
first six passes against a Tar Heel secondary
that seemed content to play off the ball and
prevent a big play.
That trend looked to continue after Teel
again found an open receiver this time
Tiquan Underwood over the middle on
second down from the UNC 48.
Then Burney entered the equation.
Symbol of black power shares his story
BY MARYANN BARONE
STAFF WRITER
Former Olympic track star Tommie Smith, made
famous by his raised fist at the 1968 Summer Olympics
in Mexico City, said Thursday that he wasn’t even aware
of racial discrimination until he went to college.
The human rights symbol presented a lesser-known
side of himself speaking Thursday night about his life
prior to his famous display against oppression.
The event, titled “The Time is Nigh: Organize,
Mobilize, Radicalize,” was the kickoff for the Sonja
Haynes Stone Center’s series on the civil rights move
ment of 1968 and 1969. Smith entered to a standing
ovation from the about 150 people who attended.
He said that growing up on a farm in Texas and
then moving to Lemoore, Calif., with his 11 brothers
and sisters shaped him into who he became.
“We did things that made us who we are today”
Smith said.
He said he was unaware of the racial discrimination
that was going on in the world around him because of
his life on the sheltered farm.

Sophomore cornerback Kendric Burney sends Rutgers receiver Tiquan Underwood to the turf during Thursday's
game. UNC's secondary picked off Scarlet Knights fifth-year senior quarterback Mike Teel four times in the win.
Flying in from the right hashmark,
Burney lowered his shoulder and slammed
into the Rutgers wideout, jarring the ball
loose and sending Underwood to the Scarlet
Kinghts’ sideline. The UNC defense had got
ten its mojo back.
“When he threw it, you know, I just kind
of threw all my 185 into him,” Burney said.
“That lifted up our defense as a whole and
lifted our team up.”
The effect of Burney’s hit was evident
from the moment the second play resumed.
Again Teel dropped back to pass and fired,
and again a Rutgers receiver was dropped
by a Tar Heel defensive back this time
safety Deunta Williams.

Knights readied to punt, Williams Jet the
DTH ONLINE: Listen to excerpts from the panel
n#J discussion about 1968 gold medal Olympian Tommie
Smith’s landmark fist salute at the Mexico City games.
His talent for running was unnoticed by his large
family, Smith said, although in high school he was
running faster than some college athletes.
When he graduated, he went to San Jose State
University. There he saw the outside world for the first
time —and decided he would try to combat discrimi
nation by trying to get the “best out of the worst.”
“I felt a necessity to get involved after I found out
things were different,” he said.
It was at the Olympic Games that he was first able
to take a public stand on his new view of the world.
But before his 200-meter dash in Mexico City, he
pulled a leg muscle.
“Here I was, at the pinnacle of my career, saying a
pulled muscle is OK,” Smith said.
He recovered with the help of a bag of ice and light

the scores of any students in the
Kenan-Flagler Business School.
“I would say that we are gratified
that none of our students cheat
ed,” said David Hofmann, dean
of the school’s Master of Business
Administration program.
GMAC brought a copyright
infringement suit against the Web
site for publishing “live” questions
■** questions that were still appear
ing in admissions tests.
Scoretop charged for access to
message boards where members
could post test questions they had
seen on the test.
After a $2.3 million ruling in
July, GMAC took over the company
and began looking into which stu
dents either posted live questions
on the Web site or said that they
had seen the Web site’s material on
silenced crowd know he wasn’t going to let
anyone show him up on national television.
“I definitely told KB, ‘I was gonna get me
a body this game,’” Williams said.
Those two blows not only energized the
entire unit but threw the Scarlet Knights off
their game.
Rutgers stopped being automatic on
offense and starting reacting to the UNC
defense. On the next drive, cornerback
Charles Brown intercepted a pass at the
Rutgers’ 32 to set up a Jay Wooten 43-yard
field goal. To follow that, a swarm of white
jerseys stopped Underwood just shy of the
first-down marker, forcing a three-and-out.
The next time Rutgers had the ball, North
Carolina was up 10-3, and Rutgers head
coach Greg Schiano had abandoned his
their tests.
GMAC cancelled the scores of
12 test-takers who had contributed
live material to the site and 72 stu
dents who had seen the material,
according to a press release.
The names of the students
involved were released to schools
Monday and were compared to
admissions data.
Those who took the test and sent
their scores to UNC had either been
denied admission to the school or
had not completed the application
process, Hoftnann said.
Cliris Privett, spokesman for
Duke University’s Fuqua School of
Business, said no Duke students’
standing changed as a result of the
investigation either.

game plan.
That’s when the Tar Heels showed there
still were areas the secondary needs to
improve.
Facing a no-huddle attack, UNC looked
confused, and Rutgers capitalized to draw
within 10-6. Throughout that drive, North
Carolina youth was on display as the defense
relaxed in coverage and allowed the Scarlet
Knights to log five plays of 10 or more yards.
But North Carolina hunkered down on
defense when it counted the most Thursday.
The first two times Rutgers threatened
inside the red zone, the Tar Heels halted the
Scarlet Knights’ drives and kept the UNC
lead safe.

Actor portrays own
torture experience
BY PHILLIP CROOK
STAFF WRITER . .j
Theater has a uniquely transfor
mative power to engage people in
social issues and ignite in them the
desire to change the world.
That’s the philosophy Hector
Aristiz&bal brings to his one

which tells the story of his torture
and interrogation by his native
Colombian government in 1982.
Re-enacting his experience, as
well as portraying his mother, his
interrogators and even the corpse
of his brother, Aristizabal said his

then provides them with the tools
to talk about the pain.
