pp imig ®ar Brel JOURNEY FROM PAGE 3 the story of Michelle, an Asian- American leukemia patient in need of a bone marrow transplant Only 7 percent of the Asian- American population is currently registered as a bone marrow donor. During intermission, a table for Project Michelle had a pack of stu dents signing up to be donors. Senior Reuel Kim and junior Justin Thao acted as co-coordina tors for the event, running lights, sound and acting as stage manag ers for the evening. “The evening wouldn’t have run as smoothly without them,” Chen said. “I can’t thank them enough.” For the past two years, “Journey into Asia” has been held at the Carolina Theatre instead ofMemorial Hall, where it had been in previous years. Chen said another group booked the venue before ASA. “Memorial Hall was so easy and accessible,” Chen said. Six ASA volunteers and a UNC activities van shuttled students to and from the Carolina Theatre from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. “I was like, ‘Gosh, I’ll reimburse you for gas,’” Chen told the ASA drivers. “We really do want as many people as we can to have rides to the theatre.” , Including a $1,500 grant from the Carolina Theatre and a S7OO allocation from Student Congress, ASA spent about $4,000 total for the evening’s event, Chen said. The money earned from ticket sales fund next year’s show. Any profit made will be donated to Project Michelle. i Contact the University Editor ) at udesk@unc.edu. SOCCER FROM PAGE 3 play soccer.

News SAAD FROM PAGE 3 “I think I brought forth a really diverse perspective,” Saad said. “I have an unconventional background, and I think I was able to relate that in the interview process.” Asa Morehead-Cain scholar, she has travelled and done research in Egypt, India and South America through the scholarship. Bom in Egypt, Saad was almost ineligible for the scholarship, only learning that she was granted American citizenship a week before the application deadline.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (MCT) With the U.S. Senate recount still incomplete, attorneys on both sides will now debate whether to reexamine thousands of rejected absentee ballots. Republican Sen. Norm Coleman was clinging to a thin lead over challenger Al Franken —IBO votes as of Saturday. Both sides will face off at a state Canvassing Board hear ing Wednesday that could prove momentous, with discussion and perhaps a ruling on whether rejected absentee ballots are in or out. Dalai Lama urges Tibetan patience DHARAMSALA, India (MCT) The Dalai Lama said Sunday he would not immediately break off talks with China over Tibet’s future, though hundreds of his followers want him to halt what they see as fruitless negotiations. “Wait another month. Then we’ll decide,” he said at a news conference. His remarks kept alive the possibility that six-year-long talks between Beijing and his government-in-exile have not utterly broken down. Younger Tibetans especially have been pushing for a com plete separation from China. “I think it speaks to the quality of the undergraduate education here,” Lovelace said. “It’s a tribute to the faculty that have supported her.” For Saad, faculty support came from law professor Donald Hornstein, who taught Saad last year and is her honors thesis adviser. Her thesis focuses on environmental issues in the Nile River delta He said her experience this past summer, traveling to India and Egypt, and then bade to Chapel Hill showcased Saad’s ability to transcend borders to confront major issues. “She’s a natural fit,” he said. “She’s really a citizen of the world.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2008 Even with 60 seats, filibusters might still tie up Democrat-led US Senate WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) Senate Democrats are inching close to the magic number 60, the number of votes needed to cut off debate under the chamber’s rules. Victories by Al Franken in the still-undecided Minnesota race and Jim Martin in Georgia’s runoff Dec. 2 would give the Democrats a nominal filibuster proof majority, which neither party has had in 32 years. While having 60 members would help Democrats over come procedural hurdles, how ever, it hardly assures a smooth path for President-elect Barack Yemen’s movie a tool to fight jihad SANAA, Yemen (MCT) - Deep in Yemen’s desert, terror ists target a family of European tourists. Then a government force storms the killers’ hideout and eliminates the killers. This is the plot of “A Losing Bet,” anew film financed by the government of Yemen that aims to educate a terror-scarred nation about the consequences of jihad. Critics say the film has little hope of reaching the disaffected communities most vulnerable to terrorist ideology, especially when the country’s 40 percent unemployment rate and shrink ing economy are considered.

Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said of the 60-vote majority. “There’s nothing monolithic about the senators in either” party. That’s one reason that 60 is no guarantee of success. Another is the nature of the Senate; it’s a collegial, clubby place in which members succeed by building coalitions around specific legis lation, and bipartisan coalitions enhance chances of success. Obama excites green lobbyists WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) President-elect Barack Obama has not fully defined his policies on endangered species protection, but environmental groups are optimistic, and timber industry and land-rights groups are wary. “This guy is a quick study and I’m sure he will find competent people,” said Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., whose subcommittee oversees nearly S2B billion in annual funding for the Interior Department, the U.S. Forest Service and the Environmental Protection Agency. “We will be able to work with him. Anything will be better than Bush.” 7
