Dozens of complaints precede her firing
BY C. Ryan Barber
Assistant University Editor
A scrapbook is the only remaining link
between Angela Vargas and the last six
years of her life at UNC.
Browsing through pages of pictures, a
bubbly ear-to-ear smile stretches across
her face as she remembers students whose
transitions to college life were eased with
the swipe of a One Card during her career
as a Rams Head Dining Hall cashier.
But other pages bring tears to the eyes of
“Miss Angie,” like the one she received Dec.
8 notifying her of her firing for “unaccept-
able personal conduct” after she arrived
one hour late to work the day before.
Vargas, 38, was known as a vibrant and
constantly upbeat personality among stu-
dents. Her firing inspired a 1,696-mem-
ber Facebook group titled, “No, its NOT
all good, bring Miss Angie back to Rams
Head,” in protest.
A warning shot
missal, Vargas said one of the most hurt-
ful documents she received was a warning
to remove her scrapbook from the Rams
Head register area in accordance with the
policy of UNC’s food services provider,
Aramark Corp.
Aramark prohibits personal items from
the workspace partially because of sanita-
tion concerns, said Megan Phelps, senior
human resources manager for Aramark
at UNC.
“It’s a part of me and my customer
service, and I don’t see anything wrong
with it,” said Vargas, who saw her book
as far less of a sanitary threat than the
dirty trays she said Aramark would stow
beneath her register. “Since when did a
book give someone H1N1?”
She said her book eventually was hid-
den from her beneath another register.
The scrapbook conflict was one of sev-
eral run-ins Vargas had with the dining
hall’s managers and Aramark’s resident
district manager, Bill Cunningham.
On Sept. 4, Vargas received a final
breaks and meal periods policy by taking
an additional break between 1:20 p.m. and
1:52 p.m. not approved by management.
But Vargas contends she was authorized
to take a break from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Along with the warnings issued to her,
Vargas said she levied at least 29 complaints
against Aramark concerning issues ranging
from managers throwing away comment
cards submitted by students to a broken
drawer and jukebox never being fixed.
She said the formal reason for her firing
was window dressing for the true reason:
retribution for the complaints she voiced.
“People tend to stop calling corporate
when they get punished for calling corpo-
rate,” she said.
The complaints — which are uncon-
firmed — predominantly targeted man-
agers. Vargas complained that managers
brought beer into Rams Head Dining Hall,
intimidated employees against unionizing
and gambled during working hours.
“I have no knowledge of that,”
Cunningham said. “When it comes to any
kind of other activity, we go strictly by the
book.”
publicity following Carson’s death in March 2008
tainted the jury pool, making it impossible for
their client, 23-year-old Demario James Atwater,
to have a fair trial in the state.
Prosecutors said that even though many North
Carolinians are familiar with the case, the jury
selection process would ensure unbiased mem-
bers and avoid inconveniently transplanting law-
yers, witnesses and staff to another state.
The trial is set to be in early May, and a judge
has until then to decide whether a move is neces-
sary. The government would be responsible for
financing the move.
In most federal trials, the defense expects
judges to deny motions to move the trial, said
Rich Myers, an assistant professor at UNC School
of Law, who worked several years as a federal
prosecutor in the Eastern District.
The U.S. Constitution states that criminal tri-
als should be held in the state where the crime
was committed. But strong evidence of a biased
jury pool could be reason to move.
“The defense has done a very good job bringing
forward important information, enough to make
the judge really think this through,” Myers said.
Lynne Klauer, assistant U.S. attorney for the
Middle District, said she couldn’t remember the
last time federal courts granted a change of venue.
Investigators say on March 5, 2008, Atwater
and Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 19, took Carson
from her home, drove her to an ATM to withdraw
$1,400, then shot her five times in a neighbor-
hood off East Franklin Street.

The ceremony brought about 150 fraternity mem-
bers, family, alumni and members of the UNC com-
munity to symbolically break ground on the Courtland
Benjamin Smith Memorial House, a Habitat for
Humanity house in honor of their late president.
“We feel very fortunate to have these young men
as our friends,” said Courtland Smith’s emotional
father, Pharr Smith, as he spoke to the crowd. “And
we know Courtland was — and would be today —
very proud to be one of them.”
While he spoke to the crowd, most of whom were
young men standing solemnly in navy blazers, he
recalled meeting members of the fraternity, many
for the first time, when they traveled to the Smiths’
home in Houston in the days after his son’s tragic
death, full of kind words and heartfelt sincerity.
Courtland Smith, who was the president of Delta
Kappa Epsilon, was killed by a police officer near
Greensboro on the morning of Aug. 23, according to
police. Smith had been driving drunk and called 911,
asking for help.
Fraternity members said they not only lost a
friend when Courtland Smith died, but they also
lost a leader who was exceptionally well-regarded
in the fraternity system and across campus.
As a result of an investigation into alcohol viola-
tions at the fraternity house the night Smith died,
Delta Kappa Epsilon volunteered to spend its yearly

Dashboard camera from Smith’s
death will stay sealed, judge rules
BY andrew dunn
Senior Writer
The dashboard camera video showing
Courtland Smith’s interaction with police in the
minutes before he was shot and killed should
be permanently sealed, a judge ruled Friday.
Randolph County Superior Court Judge
Brad Long said his court does not have the
proper authority to allow the video’s release,
reversing a September order that the video be
unsealed should no case be pursued against
the officers involved in the shooting.
The Randolph County district attorney
decided Dec. 4 the shooting was justified.
dth/margaret Cheatham williams
In November, Smith’s parents filed a motion
to permanently seal the video. They argued
both that the court did not have the author-
ity to release the video and that releasing the
video would be damaging to Smith’s family.
Delta Kappa Epsilon members said in a
statement they are happy with the decision.
“Its release would not have brought any-
thing to light,” the statement said. “We are
glad that the Smiths and Courtland’s friends
will not have to be exposed to that.”

Collective option

staff writer
Town officials say the poor eco-
nomic climate won’t affect their
most recent attempt to revive
downtown.
The first recipient of a town
loan for art businesses, a gallery
called FRANK, is set to open
in the coming months at 109 E.
Franklin St.
In addition to the town loan
and generously low rent, the
3,400-square foot gallery is
going to operate as a collective
— meaning artists will pay to be
members.
Recently, three local and pri-
vately owned galleries have closed
or are on their way to closing.
But with FRANK’s unconven-
tional business model, Chapel
Hill Town Manager Roger Stancil
said the gallery is a safe invest-
ment.
“From the scuttlebutt, people
are very excited,” said FRANK
Director Barbara Rich.
The gallery will showcase work
with a price range from $10 to
$10,000, she said.

Duke University to develop
test for radiation exposure
Duke University has secured a
U.S. government contract worth
up to $43.6 million to develop a
rapid, gene-based test for radia-
tion exposure.
The test, which is slated to be
ready in 2012, would aid medical
officials responding to the detona-
tion of a dirty bomb or a nuclear
attack.
The Biomedical Advanced
Research and De velopment
Authority in the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services
awarded the contract to Duke
Medicine in part because of grow-
ing concerns about a nuclear or
radiological terrorist attack, Dr.
John Chute, the Duke physician
overseeing the project, said in a
press release last week.
Chute, who specializes in adult
bone marrow transplants, said he
sees the damage radioactive mate-
rial can do to the human body first-
hand.
Duke applied for the funding in
April, and that proposal was cho-
sen through a completive process,
Chute said.
“It’s a big deal. It’s a lot of
money.”

Aside from the textbook exchange,
Hardin’s platform lacks major initia-

Instead, it deals mostly with
ongoing initiatives such as energy

Lauren Cutshaw, Hardin’s cam-

U.N. trying to put
Haitians to work
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
(MCT) — International relief
officials turned their attention to
finding shelter and getting aid to
those hundreds of thousands who
survived the most devastating
natural disaster in Haiti’s history.
With a key donors confer-
ence set for Monday in Montreal,
Canada, Haiti leaders and the
international community focused
on finding the money and exper-
tise needed to rebuild.
The United Nations is hoping
to put hundreds of Haitians to
work in cleaning up their battered
city, said U.N. Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon in a meeting.
Karzai postpones
parliament voting
KABUL, Afghanistan (MCT)
— Under strong international
pressure to reform Afghanistan’s
electoral system before holding
another nationwide vote, the
government of President Hamid
Karzai on Sunday put off ballot-
ing for a new parliament until
September.
Election officials had said the
voting would take place in May.
But western diplomats made
it clear their governments would
refuse to pick up the tab for any
balloting that took place before
“root-and-branch” electoral
reforms. The announcement of a
Sept. 18 election date was made
by Afghanistan’s Independent
Election Commission.

Baobab
trees, red
tape —
c’est la vie
I
n the classic French fable
“Le Petit Prince,” the titular
tiny prince talks of waking
each morning and tending to his
equally tiny planet.
It’s an iconic French image:
avoiding the swirling chaos of the
universe around you and focus-
ing instead on the tiny, beautiful
immediate. Among other things,
Le Petit Prince reminds us to
put aside our bigger problems in
order to take care of more man-
ageable things, like sheep and
flowers and baobab seedlings.
Here in France, I wake up
every morning and tend my own
personal French planet. But my
problems aren’t as simple as the
Little Prince. Rather than sub-
versively planting baobab seeds,
I have to dig my way out of an
ever-increasing pile of compli-
cated bureaucratic paperwork.
And for me, it’s no use uproot-
ing the plant seedlings in my
apartment. One is already grow-
ing. In fact, I’m helping it grow.
It’s in my rental agreement.
You see, I’m sharing my show-
er with a palm tree, and if it dies,
I have to pay to replace it.
It has not been made clear
to me why my landlord decided
putting a palm tree in my shower
would be a good idea. Like much
here in France, things are never
really certain.
I’m not really sure why I’m not
allowed to smile on the street or
hug my friend when I meet her
on the metro. And no one has
explained to me the exact speci-
fications of my program of study
here, or what things I’ll need to do
to prepare for the coming term.
I can’t explain the palm tree
— which I have named Gregoire
— any more than I can explain
why the landlord’s cat lives in our
apartment and not his.
I don’t have any answers.
But really, neither does the
French language. With its delicate
subtlety of meaning, its flowing
shift of words and its singsong-y
intonation patterns, French is
really good at sounding pretty
without actually saying anything,
which is probably why it is con-
sidered by many to be the interna-
tional language of diplomacy.
In French, you can talk for
hours about word definition and
usage, without actually doing
anything constructive. Turns out,
the same thing holds true for
France as a whole.
I’m not sure what else I
expected.
As I wander through the streets
of Paris, searching for both person-
al fulfillment and the next hidden
university building, I get the sense
that no one here really knows the
whole picture. The important
thing, I’ve been told, is to pretend
like you know what you’re doing
until you actually do, even if that
day never actually comes.
It’s been frustrating. My
French skills come into question
on a daily basis, and I continue to
fill out forms and pay fees for no
readily apparent reason. I don’t
know too many people here,
and the French aren’t too quick
to make friends with transient
Americans here for the spring
and gone by the summer.
But when things get really
tough, I still have my plant.
It doesn’t judge my French. It
doesn’t ask for my visa applica-
tion. It just wants some water, the
occasionally dusting of sunshine
from the skylight and its own per-
sonal space in my shower.
And as the next few confusing,
Frenchified months go by, I’ll
keep thinking of the methodical
little prince.
Times may be hard, and the
world may be coming to an end,
but you still have to keep tending
to your planet.
Or your palm tree.

T

a community group to
clean up the mess a mysterious
UNC research facility made
near a local creek.
The state issued a notice of
violation to the University in
December after the Research
Resource Facility leaked treated
animal waste water into Collins
Creek, in the rural western part
of the county.
This is not the first time the
facility has had problems with
leaks. Two other incidents also
have been reported, one of
which released an estimated
630 gallons of treated animal
wastewater.

UNC-Secure is a new Wi-Fi
network that will eventually
replace UNC-1. It was intro-
duced this month and is a
much safer network.
ITS hasn’t advertised the
network because the depart-
ment wants to ease students
into it, get feedback and resolve
any bugs over the next year.
The new system makes it
more difficult for unauthorized
users to access the network.
Both UNC-1 and UNC-

ency from the University about
the issue.
Mary Beth Koza, the director
of Environment, Health and
Safety at UNC, stated that she
was not sure how concerned
the local community would be
about the issue.
Of course the community
should be apprehensive. Koza’s
naiveté downplays the poten-
tially harmful effects of dog
and pig waste.
Besides, community mem-
bers had already raised con-
cerns about an incinerator

pose of animal carcasses.
On top of all this, the inci-
dents occurred at Collins Creek,
which eventually empties into

network — leaving them vul-
nerable to hackers.
John Streck, the assistant
vice chancellor for communi-
cations technologies, said the
UNC-1 network’s protection is
“about as secure as leaving your
doors open.”
If someone gets access to the
network, they could potentially
hack into other computers con-
nected to UNC-1.
UNC-Secure solves this.
When accessing the network
for the first time, ITS uses a
Web-based application to grant
access. An Onyen is required.
Only computers that have
gone through that configuration
have access to the network.
ITS tried to make the new
system as simple, secure and
cost-effective as possible.
They succeeded. Linking to
UNC-Secure for the first time

hours to lure a few more
donors in. The blood supply
has increased somewhat in
the last two weeks but is still
critically low.
It is time for students to take
action. Giving blood is easy.
The whole process takes about
20 minutes.
For first timers, the pro-
cess is very simple. After fill-
ing out a short form, a volun-
teer then asks you a couple
of questions and gives you a

Finally a tube is attached to

Rural Orange called for more
open communication from the

The group also requested
that the University stop using
the incinerator because it has
experienced malfunctions in
the past.
These are reasonable requests
and the University should work
to heed them. At the very least,
the University needs to be fully
transparent about the work that
goes on in these facilities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Safe Walk program should
be expanded off-campus
TO THE EDITOR:
I read Christian Yoder’s edi-
torial regarding the SafeWalk
program and its deficiencies
(“Viewpoints: Safe Walk,” Jan.
20). For the most part, I agree;
$11,000 to $20,000 seems a
ridiculous amount of money to
employ 25 students and give
them reflective vests.
I was also shocked to read
that intoxicated students are
not walked and off-campus loca-
tions are not covered; a drunken
or off-campus student likely has
the greatest need for a safe way
home. Besides, not all off-cam-
pus locations have the blue light
system and aren’t as well lit.
The program’s intention is
good, but if student govern-
ment wants to invest in a cam-
pus safety program, it should
consider forming a program like
Duke’s (yes, Duke’s) Safe Rides
program.
As its Web site states, “Safe
Rides … provides an alternative
to walking alone or in isolated
areas of campus … Safe Rides
provides Duke employees and
students with no cost on-
demand van service to campus
areas, and certain off-campus
areas, from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m.”
It seems like $20,000 could
afford a few cars and some gas
money to get students home
safely, no matter what their BAC
or location.

Playing men’s game in
Carmichael might help
TO THE EDITOR:
I agree with both the editorial
and the letters to the editor of
last week that it is very sad that
our students are forced to sit in
the “nosebleed” seats (“Put ticket
policy in hot seat,” Jan. 20, and
“Margolis is right; ticket policy
must favor students,” Jan. 22).
However, I see the athletic
department’s side of this prob-
lem as well. The “elderly alumni
sitting with their grandchildren”
are some of the University’s
most generous donors.
Without them, we would not
have such great facilities as the
Smith Center or Kenan Stadium
or other academic luxuries
found on campus. Therefore, it
would be unwise for the athletic
department to uproot these fans
from their seats.
A possible way to help the ath-
letic department find a plan for a
better atmosphere and still keep
the giving alumni happy would
be to hold one game a year in
Carmichael Gymnasium.
Our agricultural rivals in
Raleigh hold an annual game in
historic Reynolds Coliseum. This
annual game has both a sellout
crowd and a great atmosphere
for both the players and fans.
Carmichael is smaller than
the Smith Center but would
allow the students to encircle
the court and be closer to the
action.
This might even convince
the Rams Club donors to move
a few rows back and let the stu-
dents into their rightful place.

Students paying for many
bad decisions with tickets
TO THE EDITOR:
There are many reasons
why the current ticket policy
and seat locations are in place.
Accountability seems to be a for-
eign word to many young people
today, and it may not seem fair,
but you are being held account-
able for numerous bad decisions
made by previous students.
Bad decision number one, and
it was mentioned in the Margolis
column (“Put ticket policy in hot
seat,” Jan. 20), was voting down
the small student fee increase
(about $10 per semester) to help
fund the Smith Center more than
25 years ago.
Bad decision number two was
the rampant scalping of student
tickets for the big money games
(Duke, State, etc). This ultimately
led to the infamous pink student
tickets, which made it much easier
for the people at the door to iden-
tify them and check for IDs.
Bad decision number three was
bringing along friends from other
schools. This is one of many things
that ultimately led to the current
policy of one ticket per student.
You may not think it is fair
that the students don’t get all of
the courtside seats. Well, I don’t
think it is fair that I was just a
few years out of college when
the Smith Center was built, so
I couldn’t afford the $25,000
required to get lower level seats.
My seats are in the upper
deck, along with many of the
student seats, but there are two
huge differences. I have to pay
for my tickets, and I actually
show up for every game.

E-book solution not as
clear-cut as suggested
TO THE EDITOR:
The column in Friday’s edition
of The Daily Tar Heel (“Download
this,” Jan. 22) extolling the virtues
of e-books missed some very cru-
cial points. While e-textbooks
might be cheaper up front, there
are a lot of problems with the
licensing of these books.
Amazon has shown in the past
that even if you pay for the books,
you don’t necessarily own them.
Amazon forcibly removed George
Orwell books from Kindles
because of a licensing dispute.
Other routes are even less
attractive. CourseSmart e-books
only give a limited license to use
their texts. Once the course is over,
they take the text back so that a
student can never again use it
without paying for another license.
There is no resell value. There is
only the student, left with noth-
ing. Not only that, but students
have to download CourseSmart’s
own software to even open the
e-books.
New editions that come out
every semester will not become
a thing of the past with e-books.
The publisher will simply sell
the new edition in e-book form,
without any student recourse
to sell older editions other than
(ironically) Amazon. E-books
have great potential, but don’t
be fooled into thinking they are
the beginning of the end for text-
book publishers.

Cunningham said he could not
comment on the details of Vargas’
firing due to confidentiality policies.
At a meeting with Cunningham,
Vargas said she was told she had
the potential to become a customer
service representative if she learned
to get along with managers.
She said she was told in another
meeting that she was “harassing
customers with kindness.”
Cunningham, who could not
comment on the details of a private
meeting, said Aramark has no set Looking ahead

“We like everybody to have their

guaranteed to have their work
displayed in the gallery, Stancil
said.
They also must work a certain
number of hours in the gallery.
About 25 founding artists and
others will be able to show their
artwork.
Stancil said members will be
able to vote on gallery decisions,
giving them the power to act as the
gallery’s board of directors.
The gallery has two years to
pay back its $40,000 loan to the
town in order to continue the fund,
Stancil said.
The money will then be used to
continue jump-starting local small
arts businesses.
In addition to member fees, the
gallery will receive a commission
from sold artwork.
“We don’t think the gallery will
have any trouble paying this money
back,” Stancil said.
The gallery is part of a plan to
continue to revitalize downtown
Chapel Hill, Rich said.
“They see the gallery as
a catalyst for a new profile
of Franklin Street,” she said.
“We are hoping that more sophis-
ticated restaurants and shopping
will come as a result.”
But Jeff Girman, owner of
Chapel Hill art gallery Studio 91,
said even if the gallery is able to
sustain itself, it’s not likely to make
much money.
“It isn’t profitable right now,”
Girman said, adding that sev-
eral art galleries in the area have
already closed.
“We are only able to tread
through this because we are a
wine bar in addition to being an
art gallery.”
But Rich said she is undeterred
by the poor economic climate.
“We are all betting that even
in the current economy the gal-
lery will be successful,” she said.
“Chapel Hill is a fairly well-to-do
community and attracts over two
million visitors a year.”
Jane Tyndall, owner of Tyndall
Galleries, said her gallery is set to
close Saturday.
But in spite of that, she thinks
FRANK will be a success in Chapel
Hill.
“Many experienced artists are
involved in this project,” she said.
“Even with the downturn in the
economy, the key to success in
the art world is knowledge of the
industry.”

Senior Brad Green, the creator
of the Facebook group supporting
Vargas, said he has been in con-
tact with other former Aramark
employees who have told him they
feel wronged by the University’s
food services provider.
“They have the right to free

are being violated, they certainly
have the right to speak about that,”
he said.

social budget on the project.
Including the social budget, the
fraternity has raised more than
$64,000 for the project, which
will cost at least $75,000 to com-
plete. A partnership with Bank of
America Corp. footed $25,000 of
the bill — a donation facilitated by
a freshman fraternity member with
family ties to Hugh McColl, former
chairman and CEO of that bank.
Incoming DKE President Davis
Willingham said the fraternity
likely will exceed its commitment
to raise $75,000, and has set a new
goal of $100,000, which it plans to
meet with philanthropy events.
UNC administrators, alumni and
the national Delta Kappa Epsilon
organization have expressed that
the project represents a positive
direction for the fraternity, which
is working to improve its image.
The house — off of Purefoy Drive
in the Rogers Road community —
will go to Lion and Zar Ree Wei, ages
42 and 39, Burmese immigrants
working as UNC housekeepers. Until
the house is completed, they will
continue to live in a two-bedroom
apartment with their six children,
ages 15, 14, 11, 8, 6 and 2.
“The fact that six children will
be able to sleep in a comfortable
house instead of an apartment, I’m
sure that would have meant a lot
to Courtland,” said fraternity mem-
ber Billy Armfield. “It’s very true to
what he would have wanted.”

UNC men handed first loss
BY Kelly Parsons Men’s swimming
staff writer
Virginia
It was a day of numbers for the
No. 14 North Carolina men’s swim UNC 
team.
Against No. 8 Virginia, UNC
swimmers racked up 23 season
best times, nabbed four NCAA
consideration cuts and as a team
shaved more than 27 seconds off
of 2009-10 season bests.
But a particular digit stood out
after Saturday’s rivalry meet — the
one in the loss column.
“We can’t afford to make the
choice of having (the loss) be a set-
back,” coach Rich DeSelm said. “It
can be a disappointment, but we’ve
got to learn from it and use it to
find how we can be better.”
The UNC men’s team went into
Saturday’s matchup a perfect 8-0
(4-0 in the ACC). Though the Tar
Heels only won five of 16 events,
the Cavaliers were not able to run
away with it. Depth allowed UNC
to secure second and third place in
five events, and the Tar Heels deliv-
ered the one-two punch twice.

knew today was the day and it was
time to lay it down on the line.”
Despite Smith’s standout perfor-
mance, the No. 15 North Carolina
women’s team fell to No. 11 Virginia.
Laura Moriarty had one of the
women’s five event wins in the 200-
yard breaststroke, winning by more
than a second and qualifying for a
NCAA consideration. Moriarty also
took second place in the 200-yard
butterfly, earning her second con-
sideration cut of the day.
The Tar Heels will take on
Virginia again in late February
at the ACC Championships. And
UNC’s swimmers are looking for-
ward to a rematch.

motivation,” Luchsinger said. “We are

point lead. From there, the wheels
came off for Clemson.
“They made a great push, but I
really felt like we lost a little bit of
composure,” Clemson coach Cristy
McKinney said. “We made a couple
of bad decisions, a couple of quick
shots and turnovers, and they really
exploited them.”
McKinney’s squad effectively

“We were focused. I don’t think
we lost intensity, just it’s compo-
sure that keeps you staying with
your offense, staying with what’s
been successful and not trying to
get out of that,” McKinney said.
“And I felt like we tried to get out
of that near the end.”
Clemson just could not make
enough shots to keep up with the
Tar Heels. For the game, Clemson
shot 39 percent from the field, and
31 percent from the free throw
line.
At the other end, UNC had no
trouble, shooting 57 percent in the
second half and 53 percent for the
game.
That is a drastic turnaround from
“We did a great job for about 35
minutes last year at our place on
DeGraffenreid, not letting her get
to that right side and shoot layups,”
McKinney said. “And right down
the stretch she got there, and Lucas
hits two threes.”
Lucas didn’t log any assists
Friday night, but she did con-
tribute to a few scores for
DeGraffenreid. In the first half,
Lucas missed a free throw,
but DeGraffenreid ran from
the three-point line knowing
the previous three games — losses
to Virginia Tech and Connecticut
and a win against Maryland — in
which the team shot 68-for-216, or
31 percent from the field.
The team’s halfcourt offense was
more fluid than it had been in three
games, and that manifested itself
in the highest number of assists, 13,
since the January 6 game against
Georgia Tech.
“(Chay Shegog) was looking for
the cutter — and we did hit that a
couple times,” Hatchell said.
“We’ve got to develop our offense
from the inside-out when we don’t
have a fast break, and that’s what
we’re trying to do.”

Clemson turnover in the second
half that led to a fast break layup

games,” Lucas said. “We need to
communicate the entire game, and
also with the team.”

The match was a tune-up for
UNC, who looks this season to
achieve similar success as it had
last year, when the Tar Heels
advanced to the round of 32 in the
NCAA tournament.
“I think we should do a whole lot
better this season,” Donato said.
“We have a stacked team with
tremendous potential.
“I believe that this is the best team
I’ve seen in my four years playing
here, and that’s saying something,
as we made it to the final four when
I was a sophomore.”
After the match, Donato was
pleased with the impressive per-
formance and hopes that it will set
a positive tone for the rest of the
tennis season.
Donato will lead the No. 28 Tar
Heels this season alongside senior
captain Andrew Crone.
Donato, who was named to the
ACC all-conference squad and the
All-America squad last season, said
he will strive for the same accolades
this year.
In his junior year, he finished the
season in the top 20 in singles and
advanced to the semifinals of the
men’s singles draw at the NCAA
tournament. He already has a goal
in mind this season.
“It’s obvious, a win in the cham-
pionship,” Donato said.
Although NCCU and
Presbyterian didn’t put up much
of a fight, UNC will have tough
matches this season. They face off
against several ranked foes, includ-
ing rival Virginia, who in the NCAA
tournament last season sent the Tar
Heels home.

Brown and Keene marked the

“I think sometimes coaches and
athletes begin to want to win so

said.
“Realistically, with our men and

I think we’re good enough to be in

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Clemson 61
UNC  79
BY LOUIE HORVATH
SENIOR writer
It took the North Carolina women’s bas-
ketball team seven minutes to turn a barn-
burner into a blowout Friday night.
Down by a point with 7:08 left in the sec-
ond half, North Carolina rattled off a 23-4
run to defeat Clemson 79-61.
The key to the run was defense. The
Tigers’ offense ground to a halt amidst a
sea of turnovers and missed shots, which
UNC was able to convert into points on the
other end.
“We kept switching it up,” UNC coach
Sylvia Hatchell said. “We did a little bit of
zone, then we showed zone and went man,
and then we trapped on the wing.
“We threw a bunch of stuff out there
down the stretch and I think all of (the play-
ers) did a better job of not letting them drive
down to the paint.”
Bolstered by two clutch threes from
Italee Lucas and a usual late-game surge
from Cetera DeGraffenreid, the Tar Heels
(15-3, 3-1) pulled away. DeGraffenreid
scored eight of her 12 points down the
stretch.
Lucas herself scored a game-high 20 to
pace UNC off the bench.
“We need to embrace the fact that we do
need to step up in close games,” Lucas said.
“We need to communicate the entire game,
and also with the team.”
The UNC run came in response to a big

BY Jonathan Jones
Assistant Sports Editor
The official stats show Clemson’s Keyrra
Gillespie had eight assists Friday night
against North Carolina.
To UNC’s Italee Lucas, she had nine.
Five minutes into the second half,
Gillespie leapt out of bounds to save a loose
ball under the UNC basket but threw it into
the hands of the junior guard, who scored
the easy layup. Lucas pointed to Gillespie,
thanking the passer for the assist.
“Yeah, that was a nice assist,” Lucas said.
“That was a pass I really appreciated. She
got the point, too.”
Lucas should have pointed her finger to
teammate Cetera DeGraffenreid.
DeGraffenreid, who racked up a team-
high six assists on the night, dished three
crucial passes to Lucas in the final four min-
utes of the game to clinch the win.
North Carolina held a one-point lead
with six minutes remaining in the game
against a team on a six-game losing skid.
Lucas and DeGraffenreid took over at that
point, accounting for seven of UNC’s next
eight scores en route to a decisive 19-2
run.
After making two free throws,
DeGraffenreid went coast-to-coast on the
Tar Heels’ next possession. She then found
Lucas two consecutive times for scores, one
on a wide-open three and the other a no-
look pass for an easy layup.
“Whenever it got really tight in there,
these two took over, which we needed them
to do,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “We
actually met and talked today about them
being the leaders of this team.” dth/bj dworak

UNC linebacker shines in first meet
BY MEGAN WALSH
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
Fresh off the blocks in his first
60-meter dash, North Carolina’s
Zach Brown was hoping to make
his transition from outside line-
backer on the football team to
sprinter a smooth one.
And then he tripped.
But Brown didn’t let the change
in stride stop him. The 230-pound
sprinter powered through the
stumble to win first-place in 6.73
seconds at Saturday’s Kent Taylor
UNC Classic in Chapel Hill.
“All the guys from the football
team, a good 30, were out there,”
Brown said. “I knew they were
going to clown
me if I had lost.
So I was like
‘I gotta win. I
gotta get out. I
gotta get out.’”

“All of them ran in high school,”
coach Dennis Craddock said.
“They’re very much track-oriented,
and I think the 60 (meter dash) will
suit their figures better because it’s
so short. Right now, coming off
football, they’re not in really great
shape, but they’re in shape enough
to run a couple of good 60s.”
N.C. State was the only other
ACC team present at Saturday’s
Classic. The majority of the team’s
most experienced athletes rested up
for next weekend’s more demanding
two-day meet and did not compete.

The UNC men’s tennis team began its sea-

The doubleheader began in the afternoon
with a 7-0 win over Presbyterian and was fol-
lowed in the evening by a similar 7-0 sweep
of the Eagles from North Carolina Central in
what turned out to be a relatively smooth day
of tennis for the Tar Heels.
The majority of the matches on Sunday
were finished in straight sets.
UNC senior Clay Donato had two dominant
single wins in straight sets and another two
strong wins in doubles, where he and his part-
ner Stefan Hardy have performed exception-
ally well this season.
