Homecoming queen plans changes fox court
By JO LEE CREDLE
Staff Writer

"any students may not
realize there is more to
.being UNC's homecoming
queen than getting a crown and
flowers on the football field on a
breezy autumn day.
"As a representative of the Uni
versity, I feel like I have some ideals
to uphold," said Norma Holshouser,
the 157 homecoming queen. "Pro
mote UNC: that is my main duty."
Holshouser, a senior nutrition
major from Newton, was nominated
by her sorority sisters from Alpha
Chi Omega for a position on the
homecoming court.
My friends were so supportive of
me,M she said. "They really showed
me a lot of love during the nomina
tion process."
Holshouser, who was selected for
one of the seven positions on the
court from a pool of more than 50
applicants, had to go through an
interviewing process and write an
essay on why she wanted to repres
ent UNC on the court.
"I really felt that I got to know all
of those girls (on the court) well,"
Holshouser said. "That made it an
enjoyable experience, as if we had
all accomplished something
together."
Carol Geer, president of the
Carolina Athletic Association, said
that applicants to the court must
have at least a 2.5 GPA and be
"very involved extracurricularly."
The winner receives a scholarship of
in-state tuition and fees ($422.50),
and she represents the University at
various functions such as alumni
luncheons.
As the University's homecoming
queen, Holshouser is in the process
of thinking of ideas for next year's
court. The queen has been responsi
ble for planning the court's activi
ties, making sure that the court has
their tickets for the game, helping
with homecoming plans and appli
cant selections.
"I plan to be here as gung-ho as
everybody else is next fall," she said.
Holshouser said she had been
spending time getting people
involved with University activities
since she was a freshman. "I try to
bring people to a lot of the things I
do, like Union House Staff and
ushering for plays, just to get people
involved."

UNC associate vice chancellor for
development.
The report has, however, helped
officials set priorities about how to
spend the money collected during the
campaign, he said.
"The ultimate target goal hasn't
been set yet, but it will be a substantial
one in the $200 million or above
range, probably," Sweeney said. "At
this point, we haven't determined
what the final priority needs are, but
a vast amount, 70 percent or above,
will go to endowment needs," he said.
The report stressed that UNC

Norma
Geer said she had some changes
in mind for the UNC's traditional
homecoming court next year.
If re-elected as CAA president,
Geer said she would suggest honor
ing two seniors, a male and a
female, for outstanding academic
and extracurricular involvement
rather than having one homecoming
queen. She said she thought the
term "homecoming queen" implied a
beauty contest.

low to be competitive in hiring and

"We want to provide the types of
programs that retain faculty," Swee
ney said. "We want to provide the
money to attract the academic super
stars nationwide, and also reward the
faculty we have now and keep them
from being lured away to other
universities that offer them more."
Sweeney said the funds will be used
to establish endowed chairs and
professorships, develop research
projects, and set up undergraduate
scholarships, internships and
fellowships.
Additional funds raised will go to
capital improvement and mainte
nance projects, other areas that the
report said needed funds for upgrad
ing, Sweeney said.

Frosh Mackey uised
to breaking records
By GINGER JONAS
Staff Writer
When some of the fastest runners
in the nation gather for the Mobile
Grand Prix on Valentine's Day,
North Carolina will be represented
in the women's 4 x 400-meter relay.
That relay team, which clocked a
3:43.21 time in the Eastman-Kodak
Invitational track meet Jan. 23,
consists of sophomores Shelby Moor
man and Mia Pollard and freshmen
Sony a Thomas and Kendra Mackey.
Sprinter coach Charles Foster said
he is looking forward to the upcoming
meet. "We're excited about going up
against the competition with two
freshmen and two sophomores run
ning," Foster said. "Those four
runners will probably be the back
bone of the women's track program
in the upcoming years."
One of those runners, Mackey, set
a new school record in the 400-meter
dash during the Eastman meet.
Clocking in at 55.18, Mackey broke
the old record, which was held by her
relay partner, Pollard. Mackey said
running well early in the track season
gives her the incentive to improve her
performance.
"Breaking the record was exciting,"
she said. "It was kind of weird since
it was my first big meet, but it was
exciting. Doing well this early in the
season makes you want to work
harder. Also, the coach saw me, and
he will probably expect more from
me in practice."
Indeed, Foster said even though
Mackey broke the school record in
her first collegiate meet, she still has
the ability to improve.
"Whenever we break school
records we're pleased," Foster said.
"Kendra still hasn't tapped her full
potential. She's a tremendous athlete,
but she's still young and working her
way through.
"As soon as she realizes some
success, shell see that the workouts
aren't that tough."
Mackey, a freshman from Rock
Hill, S.C., is accustomed to running
well in track meets as well as to

Heel Thursday, February 4, 19887 ,
breaking records. During her senior
year at Rock Hill High, she broke
state records in the 100-, 200- and
400-meter dashes. She also tied the :
state record in the high jump that ;
year. However, Mackey said that
running at UNC has been different
than her high school experience.
"In high school, you could rest in
the fall," she said. "IVe run a whole
lot more here. We started with fall
training and that was the first time
I'd had fall training. Even though we
put in more time, the fun isn't taken
out of it. It's fun, but you have to
be serious about it."
Mackey said that her ultimate goal
in running is to make the U.S.
Olympic team.
"I would love to go to the 1988
Olympics, but I don't know if IH be
ready. Hopefully in 1992, the year I
graduate from UNC, I will get to go,"
she said. "I have other goals, like
doing well in the ACC and National
meets."
In order to qualify for the NCAA
meet in the 400-meter dash, Mackey
must have a time of 53.8 or lower.
Her personal best is a time of 54.7,
which she ran in the first heat of the
400 relay in the Eastman meet two
weeks ago. Foster thinks she has the
ability to eventually qualify.
"She can make it if she really
wanted to," he said. "But I think it
will take a gradual series of successes.
We don't push that as soon as they
get on the track."
Since she is only a freshman and
since it is still early in the track season,
Mackey has time to improve and to
make a contribution to the UNC
track program. She is also gaining
the experience of running against
world-class competition. Two weeks
ago she ran in the same heat of the
400 relay with Lily Leatherwood, who
holds an Olympic gold medal. In spite
of her individual accomplishments,
Mackey wants her team to do well.
"The program really means a lot
to everyone," she said. "We want to
get some first places and do well as
a team in all the meets."
