Officials: More Aid Possible

Financial aid officials say they are preparing a plan to help students pay for a higher-than-expected tuition increase, but there might not be enough money for everyone. UNC officials say final tuition bills will be mailed around Sept. 14, about two weeks after the state legislature approved a 9 percent across-the-board retroactive tuition increase. In-state students will receive bills for about $47 in additional tuition. Out-of-state students will have to pay an extra $460 this semester.

Alcohol Abuse Worries Parents

Students flock to Franklin Street every weekend, lining up outside bars and seeing how many pitchers of beer they can drink before last call -- much to the concern of some parents. An American Medical Association survey found that 95 percent of college students' parents consider binge drinking a serious threat to their children's health. Binge drinking is often defined as four drinks in an hour for women or five for men.

Ombudsman: DTH Should Review First Amendment

I think I heard a giant choking sound coming from the direction of Carroll Hall on Friday morning when the journalism school occupants read the editorial page of The Daily Tar Heel. At least that's what I hope I heard. Everyone, not just journalists, should have been gagging, choking, and downright sick to their stomachs after reading that the DTH -- the symbol of First Amendment freedom that it is -- was strongly advocating on-campus censorship.

Chancellor to Address UNC Community

Assistant University Editor When Chancellor James Moeser takes the stage in the Great Hall today to give the first official State of the University Address, he will be speaking to a campus with a diverse agenda. With concerns ranging from suitable pay for housekeepers to corporate presence at UNC, members of the UNC community are all waiting to hear different things when Moeser speaks at 3 p.m. UNC News Services Director Mike McFarland said Tuesday that Moeser was not available to comment on his speech.

Board Conditionally Supports Growth Plan

The Chapel Hill Planning Board issued a final recommendation on UNC's Development Plan on Tuesday night, stating that the town should only support the plan if 33 changes are made to it. The board also recommended that the Chapel Hill Town Council further discuss whether the town should push for three additional changes to the Development Plan. The board's recommendation will go before the council for in early October. A public hearing is set for Sept.

Police Work With Local Businesses to Warn, Inform

A rash of break-ins in Chapel Hill during recent weeks has brought collaborative efforts between businesses and police to the forefront. Roughly four months ago the Chapel Hill Police Department, through its community service department and a brainstorming session headed by Police Chief Gregg Jarvies, created an e-mail listserv to update businesses of pertinent information from the police. For example, the service department will e-mail the listserv about recent crimes, customers writing bad checks and false solicitors. Art Englebardt, a crime prevention specialist with the police

Commissioners Agree To Bond Referendum

The Orange County Board of Commissioners officially decided with little discussion Tuesday night to place a $75 million bond proposal on the ballot. Most of the meeting's debate centered on an amendment that would require more specific wording of a $2 million resolution designed to assist Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools with financing the planning of a new high school. The amendment, which was eventual shot down, would have required that commissioners explicitly promise to fund a new high school. The resolution's wording now allocates the $2 million to ease high school overcrowdi

Suspect Identified in Break-Ins

Police officials say they have identified a suspect in the recent string of break-ins at four local businesses. Police arrested David Craig, 37, of 100 W. Rosemary St., in connection to an Aug. 19 break-in at the Carolina Brewery, located at 460 W.

Student Congress Faces Financial Limitations

Student Congress is finding itself in even more dire financial straits than last year, likely leaving many student groups empty-handed. At this semester's first full Congress meeting Tuesday evening, Speaker Mark Townsend announced that Congress has about $11,500 to distribute to student groups this semester -- about half the amount of last semester and about a quarter of the usual amount. "We are in a serious financial crunch," Townsend said.

UNC Adopts New Copyright Policy

A committee of law experts, technological wizards and faculty members have drawn up a new copyright ownership policy for UNC-Chapel Hill in accordance with Board of Governors regulations. The new UNC-CH policy, which took almost two years to write, outlines exactly what work and research can be claimed by students, faculty members and the University. UNC-CH Chancellor James Moeser sent an e-mail to all students over the weekend informing them of the new policy.

Kluegel, Reddick to Train With U.S. Team

From Staff Reports North Carolina women's soccer players Jena Kluegel and Catherine Reddick left Tuesday to train with the U.S. national team and could be lost to the Tar Heels for up to 12 days. Both UNC starters will be in a training camp with the national team until this coming Sunday. At that time the U.S. squad will be cut and will compete next week in Nike Cup games in Chicago, Kansas City and Columbus. If Reddick and Kluegel do not make the team they will return for UNC's game against Clemson on Sept. 12.

Maryland Runs Through UNC's `D'

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- For Ralph Friedgen, it was a joyous beginning, a glorious start to his first year as Maryland's football coach. For John Bunting, it was a bitter disappointment, a depressing start to his first year as North Carolina's football coach. Sweet redemption for the Terrapins, a squad whose doubters were many and loud.

How Suburban White America Killed Hip Hop

How Suburban White America Killed Hip Hop Josh Baylin Hell Up In Harlem Every black kid knows it, and every white kid can't come to grips with it. Me and my evil army of privileged suburban white kids ended hip hop as it should be and facilitated the ongoing dearth of poignant lyricism and depth that characterized hip hop as "real." I don't feel I should be held personally responsible for its demise. I've been trying to embrace what I thought were the roots of hip hop and hoped to "hear" the music and not just listen.

Field Hockey Sets Record In Weekend Barrage

With time winding down against Virginia Commonwealth on Sunday, North Carolina field hockey coach Karen Shelton was stuck with a dilemma. Pass the ball around or let the youngsters play. The Tar Heels, having already tallied 10 goals through the contest's first 50 minutes at Henry Stadium, could either stop scoring or continue their offensive onslaught. "We kind of wanted to follow Anson's (Dorrance) rule where he gets to nine as quickly as possible and then passes it around," Shelton said. "But it got to the point where we were putting in kids who were playing for the first t

Martin's Offense Pays Dividends

Coming into the 2001 campaign, senior and third-team All-American Abby Martin knew she would have to take her game to an even higher level. North Carolina's leading scorer from 2000, Kristen McCann, used up her eligibility, and the team would lose midfielder Carrie Lingo and goalkeeper Amy Tran to the U.S. national field hockey team for seven games in September. "I knew during the summer that I would have to take a real leadership role," Martin said. "I knew it was time to step up my game." Step up her game on the offensive end of the field, that is.

Tar Heels Endure ASU Fouls

Appalachian State used about every aggressive tactic possible to stymie a bigger and stronger North Carolina soccer team. But the Mountaineers' 29 fouls and seven cards did not keep the Tar Heels from scoring, as UNC defeated ASU 3-0 Monday night at Fetzer Field. The game's physical nature placed a strain on the Tar Heel offense, but it was the first-half's overall effort that concerned UNC coach Elmar Bolowich. "I was not very pleased at halftime with the way we performed in the first 45 minutes," Bolowich said.
