They are too numerous to name, but here are just a few: • The Kenan Football Stadium Facilities and Operations staff have been instrumental in getting and keeping the program going. A special thanks to Connie Conway, Mark “Bear” Knowles, Kevin Robinson, Ben Saunders, James Spurling, and Butch Williams. • Recognition also goes to the men and women from Carolina’s Army ROTC and Naval ROTC who were out there early on Sunday mornings collecting recyclables from the stadium. The bulk of the recycling efforts at the stadium falls on their backs and would not have been possible without them. pk i Ben Sanders, Butch Williams, & Mark Knowles Additional thanks to: ■ Our football recycling intern, David Paschal, and the many volunteers who surveyed fans, handed out bags and collected recycling • UNC’s Housekeeping Services’ game day crews, the Grounds Department’s post-game cleanup crews, Classic Food Services manager Jason Whitman and his crews and vendors - OWRR's special event crew and extended family: Amy Alves, Craig Carter, Ernest Moffitt, Ray Lanier, Jen MiTlikowski, Sarah Myers, and Amy Preble To see detailed football game recycling stats, please visit our webpage: httpy/www.fac.uro.eduMastereductton/specialevent/index.asp Within the campus community it is the mission of the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling . .

Josh Bailey's body was found Sept. 12 in Chatham County. Friends say he knew the defendants. He had several mental disorders, and often resorted to self-medica tion through drug use. “It was easier for them to open their homes to him by saying we weren’t letting him come home than it was to share the truth with them that he was having a manic cycle and was out of control, or out of touch with reality,” said his mom, Julie Bailey, in one of a series of e-mails with The Daily Tar Heel in October. District Attorney Jim Woodall said he expects to see all six of the defendants present at the hearing two Tuesdays from now. Woodall is already pursuing the death penalty against Demario James Atwater, who is charged with killing former UNC Student Body President Eve Carson, in a county that has not sent anybody to death row in decades. So far in the case, Minton’s parents, who were charged with accessory to murder after the fact happy holidays!

High School Athletic Association is hoping it can pro duce some answers for the com munity, but has little jurisdiction in the matter. Que Tucker, the deputy execu tive director of the athletic associa tion, said she was unsure of what the association could do concern ing the proposal. “Are they asking this board to approve something that they have no jurisdiction over or are they ask ing the board to endorse the pro posal?” she said. Tucker said the state board of education would have to make the final decision. And the school system has yet to release details of any review. “As far as I’m concerned, Mr. Reed did everything he could that day,” said Ronald Hayes, athletic director of Chapel Hill High, in an October interview.
