Rushers step up vs. UConn.
BY DAVID ELY
SENIOR WRITER
North Carolina tailback Shaun
Draughn knew he had a good
game.
Kicking back on a leather chair
in Kenan Stadium’s second-floor
player lounge, Draughn recalled
his accomplishments on the
ground during UNC’s 38-12
victory against then-No. 24
Connecticut.
The 39-yard touchdown burst.
Check. A career-best 109 rushing
yards. Check.
But there was one thing that
the sophomore hadn’t realized.
For the first time this season, no
UNC back lost ground on a single
carry.
“Oh,” he said. “I didn’t know
that.”
Tar Heel running backs com
bined for 154 rushing yards, with
Draughn and fellow sophomore
Ryan Houston accounting for the
bulk of the total.
It was the first time this season
North Carolina succeeded in estab
lishing a consistent running game
right from the get-go. Already after
the first quarter, Draughn had runs
of 12,14, six and eight yards and
Houston had a goal line carry for a
one-yard score.
Not bad for a unit that’s been
criticized throughout the year for
its inconsistent production.
“These guys are hearing, ‘We
can’t run the football, we can’t
run the football,’” quarterback
Cam Sexton said Saturday. “I
mean, we’re getting tired of hear
ing about it, and I think those
guys said, ‘We’re gonna go run
the football.’”
But no rushing attack is pos
sible without help from the offen
sive line —and against UConn.,
the Tar Heels won the battle in the
trenches.

“That’s what I’m hoping,” Hollers
said after the hearing.

that UNC-CH is more valuable to
the state if it eventually decides to
constrict enrollment.
Perhaps the most effective of
those tools are the University’s pow
erful friends in the legislature.
Senate President Pro Tem Marc
Basnight, D-Dare, and Senate
Majority Leader Tony Rand,
D-Cumberland, maintain tight
control over the Senate and are fer
vent advocates for the University.
Limiting growth for the sake of
preserving the value of a Carolina
degree is a “no-brainer,” Basnight
said. “To diminish the profile of
the present student would be to
the detriment of our economy in
North Carolina. I don’t know any
legislator who wants to do that”
Basnight also said he expects
House Speaker Joe Hackney,
D-Orange, whose district abuts
UNC-CH, to side with him on the
issue.
Hackney was cautious to avoid
a stance for or against growth at
UNC-CH before anything has been
decided. “I will just cross that bridge
when we come to it,” he said.
In addition, Citizens for Higher
Education —a political action
committee largely run by UNC
CH trustees and one of the most
powerful lobbying groups in the
state will be an important way to
communicate the potentially harm
ful effects of enrollment growth,
particularly in the House, where
the University has fewer friends.
The PAC contributed more than
$425,000 to state legislators’ cam
paigns in 2006, the second most in
North Carolina, and is on track to
exceed that mark this year.
“I’ve already done some pok
ing around on it, and I don’t think
it’s an unsalable proposition,” said
TVustee Paul Fulton, who leads the
group.
Chancellor Holden Thorp and
Perry also will be important advo
cates, trustees said, though they
stressed the need to work in con
junction with UNC-system offi
cials, who are the main point of
contact between state government
and the public universities.
Even with that array of political
tools, it will be difficult to argue
against complaints from constitu
ents whose children were rejected
from UNC-CH.
“There will be pressure on the
legislature from our constituents,”
said Sen. Richard Stevens, R-Wake,
who is co-chairman of the higher
education appropriations commit
tee and a former BOT chairman.
“Some of these are the best and
brightest, and they deserve to go to
our premier institution.”

Ryan Houston muscles through UConn. defenders for a score Saturday.
The run team garnered no rushes for loss for the first time this season.
The tackles did a good job seal
ing off the edge for Draughn’s
outside runs, and guards turned
opposing defensive tackles away
from the action when UNC ran it
up the middle. Whenever Draughn
or Houston broke off a big run, it
was because of a gap created by the
offensive line.
“The o-line, I joke with them all
the time,” Draughn said Monday.
“I tell them, ‘You make me look
good, I’m gonna make you look
good.”
With the offensive line’s success
in creating running lanes, it’s no
surprise the UNC coaching staff
elected to become a running team
against the Huskies.
Draughn’s name was called 19
times, while Houston and incum
bent-starter Greg Little contrib
uted three carries each.
That doesn’t mean a change at
running back necessarily is in the
near future.
Coach Butch Davis said he won’t
hesitate to stay with the hot backup
He will not be allowed to communi
cate with other defendants or visit
scenes of the crime unless accom
panied by his attorney.
Gregory Minton paid $15,000
in cash and left the Orange County
Jail in Hillsborough at about 12:30
p.m.
Fitzpatrick argued Monday that
Minton needed to return to man
age business affairs with the BP
station in Glen Lennox on Raleigh
Road.
Though several legislators in
both the Senate and the House
made similar statements, Basnight
dismissed the notion that those
complaints would amount to inten
sified political pressure.
“You can’t get any more calls
than we get now,” he said.
To overcome the political diffi
culties University leaders have to
make a compelling argument that
UNC-CH can better serve the state
in ways other than expanding its
student body.
“It’s going to be tough for us if
we feel we can’t do our part,” Thorp
said. “It may turn out that we can
help meet that challenge in a dif
ferent way.”
That argument is bolstered by
a recent study illustrating that the
University’s sheer size could dam
age its ability to draw students who
are in the top 10 percent of their
high school classes, a major mea
sure of quality.
If that in turn damages the
University’s research competitive
ness, which relies on a highly quali
fied student body, then trustees and
administrators will have to decide
whether the University is more
valuable to the state as a research

“This has to do with every posi
tion on the football team,” Davis
said Monday. “We’re going to play
the guys at the time that give us the
best chance to win.”
That meant Draughn was the
featured back against the Huskies,
much as Little had claimed a prom
inent role in the past four games.
Davis said Saturday that success
on the ground for North Carolina is
contingent on contributions from
each member of the trio.

said TVustee Rusty Carter.
Any move away from the teach
ing mission would markka stark
departure from the Chapel Hill
campus’s founding vision, but rapid
growth could eventually force that
kind of reassessment.
“It may be that the research and
discovery mission outweighs our
historic mission to educate as many
of the state’s children as possible,”
Carter said.
As of last week none of the nine

Women’s golf team opens strong
Looks forward to
successful year
BY MARK THOMPSON
STAFF WRITER
For the North Carolina women’s
golf team, patience isn’t just a vir
tue. It’s a lifeline.
Coach Sally Austin said she has
stressed the importance of patience
from the start of the season for a
Tar Heel team that didn’t finish in
the top three of any tournament
last year.
And already it seems to be pay
ing off.
The Tar Heels hosted the Tar
Heel Invitational this past weekend
and finished second, a substantial
improvement from last season’s
llth-place finish.
Senior Lauren Hunt and rookie
Catherine O’Donnell paced the
team, as O’Donnell tied for first at
even par and Hunt finished tied for
10th at 10 over par.
“She’s doing a very good job of
just playing patient and hitting
one shot at a time,” Austin said of
Hunt.
“And if she makes the shot,'she
makes it, and if she doesn’t, she miss
es and moves on to the next hole”
Moving into the 2008-09 sea
son, the Tar Heels opened the sea
son with a third-place finish in the
Cougar Classic, getting three final
round 69s from senior Sydney
Crane and first-years Allie White
and O’Donnell.
“We’ve had two good freshmen
join a really strong core of girls,”
Austin said.
The ACC is one of the premier
conferences for women’s golf, fea
turing Virginia, North Carolina,
Duke and Wake Forest, all in the
top 15 in Division I, according to

“The Student Code can’t be
inconsistent with N.C. law,” Raleigh
attorney Beth Soja said. “I’m pretty
sure that N.C. state law is going to

Congress Speaker Pro Tem
Bryan Weynand agreed and said
the Student Code was never meant
to supersede state law.
He added that it is the Board of

“(The ACC has) a number of
teams that are now certainly going
to be nationally competitive in the
future; we’ve got really good young
players in our conference,” said Jeff
Elliott, the associate commission
er of the ACC, who attended this
weekend’s tournament.
Virginia, Wake Forest, N.C. State
and Florida State all played at the
Invitational this weekend. Wake
Forest took the title, while Virginia,
who led in the early days, fell to
fourth by the tournament’s end.
After a strong showing this
weekend against conference oppo
nents, UNC hopes to remain in the
forefront of the conference and
then on a national level.
“If we continue to improve and
have the attitude we have, I think
we are going to gain confidence,”
Austin said. “I see us going a long
way and doing well. I think we’re
capable of great things.”

“It wouldn’t be our responsi

Weynand said.

With the two young, talented
first-years, White and O’Donnell,
and the other experienced golfers
on the team, the Tar Heels know
what they need to do to have a
successful season. Their goals are
transcendent.
“I want to help this team in any
way I can, bring a positive attitude
to practice,” White said.
“Individually, a national cham
pionship. There’s a lot I can
learn from the seniors Lauren
(Hunt), Sydney (Crane), their
experience.”
The 2008-09 season looks
bright for this young group.
After surpassing last year’s best
effort with a second-place finish at
the Tar Heel Invitational, the UNC
women’s golf team has gotten its
first taste of success.
And already it’s craving more.
