Catie Miller never had to go toart class in elementary school.

It came to her.Without a room, the schools

only art teacher wheeled a cart fullof art supplies from class to class.

If elected Homecoming queenSaturday, Miller hopes to usethe position to put a halt on theneglect of art in schools.

I want to show why art isimportant, why it does matter,Miller said.

Her proposed project, titledProject Catie, would bring differ-ent genres of arts together into

local schools that are struggling tooffer chorus, art and drama classesdue to budget cuts.

Im just really passionate withworking with children, and I knowmy project can really help them,Miller said.

She said the cost of the proj-ect would ideally be free or lowin cost. But the projects would behigh in commitment.

We wont need many materials,

but we will need a lot of partici-pation for Project Catie to work,Miller said.

Miller said Project Catie is rel-evant to all parties involved, help-ing the community, schools and

even volunteers improve.I want to do this project

because Im going to be a teacher,and these will be the things I will

be working with in the future,Miller said.

A child development and fam-ily studies major from Goldsboro,Miller belongs to Sigma SigmaSigma sorority. She is also a mem-

ber of the UNC Walk-Ons, an acappella group.

She said her involvement withthe group and her passion for sing-ing has inspired her to help protectand promote the arts by encourag-ing schools continue to offer visualand performing arts programs.

Millers friends and soror-ity sisters have been her primarysupporters during her campaign,

helping especially with therequired 250 petition signaturesneeded to run for Homecomingqueen.

Together, Miller said she andher friends are trying to seize

the opportunity to support the

University in any way they can pos-sibly accomplish.

Doing this project is the ulti-mate way to give back to Carolina,

which has given me so much, shesaid.

Ronald Redmond is cooking upthe idea for his service project asone of UNCs candidates for 2009Homecoming king.

The senior plans to work withThe Arc of Orange County, a pro-gram in Durham that provides

weekly cooking classes and otheropportunities to students withdevelopmental delays.

Redmond said one of his favor-ite aspects of the cooking programis that it donates once a month toMeals on Wheels Association of

America.It shows that even though

these students have various dis-abilities, they still give back to thecommunity, he said.

And if he wins Homecomingking and is given the $1,000 inthe spring to go toward his cause,Redmond said the money will bespent on cooking supplies.

Aprons, food and the pro-grams first scholarship could all

be paid for with the funds from aHomecoming King win.

The program costs $200, hesaid. And Id love to provide themoney for someone who wouldntotherwise have the money toattend the class.

Redmond is president of AlphaIota Omega Christian Fraternityand is an Urban Life volun-

teer at Southern High Schoolin Durham. He is also an activemember of the Teaching Fellowsprogram and the Every Nationcampus ministry.

Redmond has already becomeinvolved with the cooking classes.

Ive been in the classroomstwice already, and I dont plan onleaving, he said.

Redmond said he feels hiscommitment to service, whichstarted during his first semesterat UNC, makes him a good can-didate.

He also said he feels he wouldbe a suitable candidate because of

his love for the University and itsstudents.

But ultimately, Redmond said,he is doing it for the kids.

Its less about me and moreabout the students that Im serv-ing, he said.

They were so joyful when I

met them for the first time, and Itold them that I had adopted theirclassroom for a service project and that I could potentially behelping them. So it would be forthem.

rss t i hlss uthAnarrahs proposalRoss will collect clothing from

students to share with homelesschildren and provide meals tolocal homeless centers.

She will partner with OutbackSteakhouse and local businessesto facilitate her projects growth.

By REyNA DESAiStaff WRiteR

After 13 years as a Girl Scout, Anarrah Ross won the groupshighest honor, the Gold Award,

by dedicating her time to collect-ing toys to stock the playrooms at

local childrens hospitals.She continues her dedication to

service at UNC while running forHomecoming queen this semester.

I feel that at UNC, the opportu-nities are limitless, she said.

And if they dont have some-thing, they will provide you withthe tools to create it.

Ross, a senior sociology majorfrom Concord, hopes to winHomecoming queen to supportTees for Teens, a program cateringto local centers by providing them

with food, clothing and greaterinteraction with the community.

Its not about the title or beingin the public eye, she said.

The project comprises threecomponents: a partnership withOutback Steakhouse to providemeals to local homeless centers,

a T-shirt drive to gather clothingfor homeless children and mon-etary donations from local busi-

nesses to match every 100 T-shirtsdonated.

I feel like college students cangive away T-shirts and not feel theeffects, but it would still be veryimpactful for the children, shesaid.

She also plans on providingbackpacks with toiletries and othernecessities to the children.

Ross aims to have greater inter-action with the campus and sur-rounding communities.

Usually when Homecoming

queens or kings are elected, theyare never heard from again, shesaid. I want to change that.

Ross has spent three years on themorale committee of UNC DanceMarathon, which raises funds forthe N.C. Childrens Hospital.

She said its her favorite experi-

ence at UNC.

She is also a UNC Public ServiceScholar, a member of the minoritystudent recruitment committeeand is in charge of community ser-

vice for Carolina Fever.She started a club called Fever

Fans and Helping Hands thissemester to commemorate the100th season of UNC basketball.

We are committed to complet-ing 100 acts of service through-out the year, and each month wedonate $100 to local nonprofits,she said.

Ross added that even if she lost,she would continue to work at asmaller scale with the managementat Outback Steakhouse, who have

been supportive of her work.I really want this and Im really

excited about it. I really want tomake my University proud.

Desmonds proposalRowe will offer N.C. Hospial

He hopes o offer sporingeven ickes and will look o hiscurren organizaions for help.

By lauren cloningerStaFF WRiteR

Senior Desmond Rowe, who isa co-chairman of Carolina Feverand an active member of DanceMarathon and Carolina Kickoff,hopes to add another accolade and

activity to extensive list.Rowe is running for UNCs

2009 Homecoming king, whichinvolves much more than simply

winning a royal title. Running forHomecoming king requires thecreation of a unique service proj-ect that the winner will implementin the spring with an award of$1,000.

If Rowe wins, he will start theCaring and Active Relief Through

Athletics and Community organi-zation next semester.

What Im looking for it to do i sserve as a relief project for patientsparents and siblings in the chil-drens hospital, he said. Theprogram will let parents go out to

dinner and get out of the hospitalscene, which I know can be stress-ful. And I want to let the siblingshave some fun.

Some of Rowes ideas for funinclude bowling, laser tag, mov-

ies and tickets to UNC sportingevents.

His current organizations wouldhelp with the basic elements of hisproject, such as transportation. He

also would ask local businesses todonate funds.

Rowe said the spring would bethe perfect time to implement hisproject because of the numeroussporting events going on duringthis time.

In the spring, mens and wom-ens basketball, swimming, mensand womens lacrosse, baseball andsoftball are going on, he said.

There is a wide variety of sport-

ing events we could bring studentsto. We understand the stress thats

been placed on the family and wantto alleviate that aspect.

And though Rowes projectwould only be guaranteed to be inaction during the spring, he has

bigger plans for his proposal.While this pilot project is

only limited to the spring semes-ter, I want it to be a service thatsenacted for years to come thats fos-tered by Carolina Fever and DanceMarathon, he said.

It encompasses the values ofthese organizations, which arededication to the hospitals as wellathletics and student athletes.

Other factors that Rowe said

led to his decision to run forHomecoming king include his per-ception that he is a good candidatein terms of academics, diversity inUNC involvement and embodi-ment of University values. He saidthat winning would mean a lot tohim.

It would be a great honor tohave been recognized as a repre-sentative of this University and atestament to the groups Ive beeninvolved in and how I can fostera better relationship between thestudents and other aspects of thecommunity, he said.

Since beginning high school inCary, Krista Stepney has worked

with homeless children andtutored elementary and middleschool students.

Now a senior, she hopes tocontinue her efforts to help chil-dren at five afterschool centers inChapel Hill and Carrboro as theUniversitys Homecoming queen.

Her project, Education Toolbox

for Kids, seeks to donate itemsthat fulfill four of childrens needs:education, recreation, health and

well-being.The program also seeks to build

relationships between students fromUNC and children in need by settingup play days once a week where stu-dents can interact with the kids.

I dont want to drop off a bunchof goods, Stepney said. I want toactually go into the centers and letthem know that Carolina studentscare about them.

In each of these meetings, stu-dents will address a topic relatedto one of the needs and will donatethe collected items.

Stepney said that at the end of

the month, the afterschool edu-cation centers will have receivedtools to help them supply the chil-dren with the four needs.

Education Toolbox will receivedonations from organizationsaround campus and from studentsat events, she said.

Funding could also be provided

through the money she wouldreceive toward the project as theHomecoming queen.

These funds, Stepney said,would be used for donations andfor hosting events on campus tohelp support Education Toolbox.

Education Toolbox grew fromStepneys love for children andher volunteer work over the pastseveral years.

I want to show kids that theyhave a teacher, that they matter,she said.

She said she wants to preventrecent budget cuts from hurtingeducation.

Stepney also said she wants togive back to the UNC community.

Staff Writer

With the start of Homecomingweek today, banners will line thePit, providing colorful displays ofUNC spirit.

The banners, part of a new com-

petition sponsored by the CarolinaUnion Activities Board, representdifferent UNC student groups andschool loyalty.

A CUAB committee will judgethe entries and pick one winner.

The winning groups banner willbe made into a permanent formthat will hang in Kenan Stadium.

Judging criteria is based on apoint system that will incorporatethe banners originality, schoolspirit and demonstration of waysthat UNC is better than Duke.

The banners will hang for theentire week of Homecoming, andthe winner will be announced

via e-mail when the committeedecides.

In case of rain, the banners willbe inside the buildings surround-ing the Pit.

There were 35 groups planningto enter as of Tuesday, and ban-ners were due to CUAB by 5 p.m.

Friday.There is no entry fee for the

participating student organiza-tions, and the materials, including

banner poster and paint, are pro-vided.

Groups created the banners lastweek in the Pit.

Sarah Smith, chairwoman of

the campus unity committee forCUAB, said making the competi-tion free was an important factor

because it allowed all groups toparticipate.

She added that it gave smallorganizations with low budgets theopportunity to promote themselves

without any cost.Its a great way to get their

name out there, especially if theywin, Smith said.

Dance Marathon created a ban-ner to promote its cause and toincrease exposure for the group.

Its an artistic and creativeway to show what our organiza-tion is about and show how we areinvolved in UNC, said PatienceObasaju, one of the organizers ofthe 2010 Dance Marathon.

Connor Community governmentis also participating.

Community Governor McKinneyBrown and programming commit-tee member Kelsey Farson said

they hoped to demonstrate thecloseness of the community withtheir banner.

Farson agreed that the bannercompetition will help to representtheir small organization.

I thought it would be a reallyfun way to celebrate UNC, shesaid.

Smith said she hopes the com-petition will continue in the futureand more winning banners willaccumulate to be hung together.

I would hope for it to become a

staple of Homecoming week, shesaid.

alui iit t pl t HcigNow I know I can always come back tosomething that is a really big part of mycollege career.

Lauren HaLLyburton,clarinet player for the Marching tar heels

by Lucie SHeLLystaff Writer

Alumni who still consider theirmusical skills the pride of the

Atlantic Coast Conference willhave the opportunity to rejoinThe Marching Tar Heels at thisSaturdays Homecoming football

game.The reunion, organized inconjunction with the General

Alumni Association, invites past band members to return andonce again be part of the experi-ence with a pregame dinner and

an invitation to play part of thehalftime show.

The reunion has been in placesince before I came in as directorin 1975, said Jeffrey Fuchs, direc-tor of UNC bands.

Rejoining the marching bandfor the night is an experience that

many alumni relish.El Fisseha, the administrativeassistant of UNC bands, said thatin past years, between 70 and 100alumni returned and that theyincluded representatives frommany graduating classes.

The oldest year I saw this yearwas around 1960, Fisseha saidabout the roster for Saturday.

The reunion involves the alumniin the band wherever possible.

They do everything their sec-tion of instrument does, Fissehasaid.

They might not do exactly whatthey did when they were here, butthey follow what the band does

now.Current marching band memberssaid they find the event beneficial.

Lauren Hallyburton, a clarinetplayer for the Marching Tar Heels,said the reunion is a good way topromote continuity.

I like it because now I knowI can always come back to some-thing that is a really big part of my

college career, Hallyburton said.Alumni can register beforehandor on the day of the football gameand can participate in one of two

ways: marching or nonmarching.Both roles invite the alumni

to Top of Lenoir for the pregame

meal. But only the marchers gowith the band to Kenan Stadiumand participate in the halftime

show.The non-marchers are invitedto sit in the GAA section for thegame.

By Delaney DixonStaff WritEr

During the Homecoming season,organizations across campus beginto organize philanthropic eventsthat benefit the community.

This year, three major eventshave been planned: a blood drive,a sports-based fundraiser and acanned food drive.

Bd drvThe Carolina Athletic Association

and General Alumni AssociationsHomecoming/RAMpage blooddrive will take place from 11 a.m. to3:30 p.m. Thursday in the StudentUnion Multipurpose Room.

This is the CAAs second blooddrive of the year, and though it wasoriginally intended to be a UNC vs.Duke drive, the organizations stillhope there will be a strong turnout.

The groups said they have a goalof 30 donations but hope for morefrom the Homecoming crowd.

We hope that people that comeback realize what Carolina meansto them and how they can give

back to the community, said LauraSheppard, GAA programs assistant.Service and Homecoming go handin hand.

The UNC American Red CrossClub is spreading the word acrosscampus and will facilitate the

blood drive with the American RedCross.

Senior Felicia Lowrance, theclubs biomedical committee co-chairwoman, said this has been arough year for blood donations.

We are one of the No. 1 suppli-ers of blood for the UNC Hospitals,she said. One pint of blood can beused to help three people. The bigthing is saving lives and helpingout community.

Wilma Palmer, blood servicescoordinator of the Orange CountyRed Cross chapter, said most blooddrives had been below the goal of70 to 80 donors they had set.

Hg wth nts

The first Heeling with Nets ser-vice project will take place 10 a.m.to 2 p.m. Thursday in the Pit.

The event is open to all studentsand is being organized by the CAAservice committee. It will consistof a football toss competition,and all entry fees will be given toNothing But Nets a campaignthat provides people in Africa with

bed nets to prevent the spread ofmalaria through mosquitoes.

One winner will be given a giftcertificate and a football signed byUNC football players.

This project is a good way toincorporate sports, which is theCAAs mission, and it helps to putan end to cases of malaria in the

world, CAA community servicechairwoman Lindsay Kornrumpfstated in an e-mail.

According to the Nothing ButNets organization, malaria causesnearly 500 million illnesses a yearand kills more than 1 million of theinfected people. The entire processof distributing nets treated withinsecticides costs $10 per bed net.The entry fee for the Heeling withNets contest is $1 for two throws or$2 for five throws.

Drv Dw th Dvs

The first Campus Y-sponsoredfood drive, Drive Down theDevils, will take place all weekuntil the day of the Homecomingfootball game.

Nearly 10 days removed from thehectic parking situation broughton by the Thursday night foot-

ball game, parking for SaturdaysHomecoming game against Duke

will return to normal game dayprocedure.

For the Oct. 22 game againstFlorida State, UNC employeeswere required to leave campusearly to avoid traffic congestion.

But Randy Young, spokesmanfor the UNC Department of PublicSafety, said the Homecoming game

will pose no such challenge.The parking will be the same

as it has been for the home gamesas for the Homecoming game,

Young said.Despite concerns last week and

a high volume of traffic expectedthis week, UNC officials said thereshouldnt be parking or trafficproblems beyond that of a typicalhome game.

Nearly 65,000 people cameto the first home game againstThe Citadel, and about 68,000attended the Oct. 22 game againstFlorida State. Young said heexpects similar attendance for theHomecoming game.

We have the same concerns,the same challenges, he said.

Dalton Sawyer, director of emer-gency preparedness and continu-ity planning for UNC Hospitals,said scheduling the Florida Stategame for the nationally televisedThursday night broadcast was thereason for the changes.

Thursday night was unique,

he said.Sawyer said the regular protocol

for parking was changed becausethe number of employees on-campus during the week is nearlythree times the number workingon weekends.

Emergency preparedness for thefootball games will also stay the

same with the Homecoming game.We always keep a mobile masscasualty unit in the ambulance baythat can respond in short notice,Sawyer said.

He added that hospital employ-ees and EMS teams will be alerteddue to greater numbers of peopleon campus.

Young said DPS does not expectmore traffic or higher attendancethan usual for the Homecominggame.

Nonetheless, Young said almost

every parking lot is affected by thehigh volume of game day traffic.He said a link on the Department

of Public Safetys Web site lists park-ing information for football games.

I strongly recommend that peo-ple park and ride to campus, Youngsaid, referring to Chapel Hills pub-lic transportation option.

With that service, Young saidattendees can arrive three hoursearly to attend Tar Heel Townfestivities and even stay after thegame for Touch Downtown.

You can go downtown andenjoy dinner and still catch someof the park-and-ride routes, hesaid.

Homecoming will get a make-over this year with the return ofan old tradition: the Homecomingparade.

Carolina has tons of school

spirit, and now we can have thisevent to get us excited for thisimportant football game againstthe Blue Devils, Student BodyPresident Jasmin Jones said.

Jones thought to bring back theHomecoming parade and directedefforts to organize its return.

Its really something Jasmin wanted to bring back to theCarolina community, senior andHomecoming director CourtneyBrown said.

Brown said she skimmed

records and thinks the last home-coming parade was in 1993. Theevent stopped due to low turnout.

We are going to move moun-tains to get people out there,Jones said.

The parade will start at 11 a.m.Saturday on East Cameron Avenue,roll through campus and finish onRaleigh Street. The route will be

closed to traffic during the parade,but organizers do not expect issuesfrom people coming for the game.

There is going to be a lot ofwalking and cars, Jones said.

About 70 student groups will berepresented in the parade, mostusing cars rather than floats to savemoney, she said. Carolina Fever isthe last group in the parade andthe only one with a float.

We wanted to end with a bang,Jones said. Carolina Fever repre-sents what this parade is all about.

Other student groups repre-sented will include the Heelraisers,student government and the UNC

Marching Tar Heels, which will beperforming throughout the event.

Jones said parade groups arenot allowed to throw candy forsafety reasons, but observers canexpect lots of waving, chantingand celebratory hollering.

A number of pregame eventswill be held next week, includinga carnival on Hooker Fields.

The Homecoming paradesreturn comes at a cost of about$400, half of which will go tocleaning Franklin Street after theparade Jones said.

Department of Public Safetyofficers already scheduled to workthe football game will be present,and the University will pay over-time costs for Chapel Hill Policesupport.

By Sofia MoraleSSTaFF WRiTeR

As the daughter of a womanwho has dedicated her life to intro-ducing performing arts to under-privileged youth, Homecomingqueen candidate Rea Davis hadan obvious choice for her publicservice project.

Davis project, titled AcademicPerformance, focuses on pairingacademic enrichment programs

with cultural and performing artsfor inner-city youth, providing per-forming arts training to students

who otherwise would not be ableto afford it.

My mother is a journalist, and

she also owns a nonprofit cul-tural performing arts school inCharlotte, she said.

I kind of followed her foot stepsin my career choice.

Davis said her involvementin dance and modeling boostedher self-esteem as a young girl inCharlotte, and she hopes the arts

will do the same for other children.I am head over heels over cul-

tural performing arts, she said.I feel like cultural performing

arts foster diversity, and they allowself-expression.

Under Davis plan, members ofUNC performing arts organizationssuch as Kamikaze and Concept ofColors will volunteer at a school inthe Triangle once a week for twohours.

She said one hour will be dedi-cated to the performing arts andthe other will focus on academictutoring. The children will be ableto choose which performing artthey want to make their focuses.

The students would not onlyhave an outlet for self expression,

but they would also be included inthe spring performances of some ofthe UNC organizations involved.

Beyond the public service com-ponent, Davis said she is runningfor Homecoming queen out of herlove for UNC.

I love Carolina, Carolina Blue,Carolina college magic, she said.

She said she views the posi-tion of Homecoming queen as anambassador for the University andas an opportunity to better executeher project.

Carly Brantmeyer, a photo-journalism major from Charlotte,was inspired by her love for pho-tography and children to run forHomecoming queen.

If she wins, Brantmeyer willfund her project PhotoTEACH, a

weekly photography class for chil-dren from low-income families.

I think this project is set apartfrom others because it has already

been developed and is sustainableand just needs further funding,she said.

Brantmeyer, a senior, had neverleft the country before she attendedUNC, her dream school since 5thgrade.

And when she had the chanceto study abroad to Ghana,

Africa, in fall 2008, she broughtPhotoTEACH with her.

The project was initially fundedwith around $500 that Brantmeyerraised through donations from herfamily and friends. She purchasedsimple film cameras, which sheused to teach eight children fromthe slums of Nima, Ghana.

After returning from Ghana sheexpanded her project to teach chil-dren in Durham at The Salvation

Army.I now want to extend it to

Carrboro and the Chapel Hill com-munities, she said of PhotoTEACH.Its not just about me and my proj-ect. I want everyone at Carolina to

be a part of it.She hopes PhotoTEACH will

continue even after she graduates.The cameras used currently

are loaned by the School of MassCommunication and Journalism,and she hopes added funding

would pay for more equipment.Brantmeyer said the children

shes taught in Ghana and Durhamhad never interacted with camerasand that their pictures providedthem with a way of telling theirstory and perspective.

It was a life-changing experience.They were overjoyed, she said.

Brantmeyer is a member ofthe Phi Beta Chi sorority, a seniormarshal and the senior class pho-tographer.

She is also the campus represen-tative for Mocha Club, an nationalorganization that funds relief anddevelopment projects in Africa.

Brantmeyer has been a mem-ber of UNC Dance Marathon the fundraiser for N.C. ChildrensHospital for four years, anexperience she said she will cher-ish forever.

I feel I embody the Carolinatradition of service, leadership andscholarship through the experienc-es Ive had here, she said.

Fi bf th Fightt ftu gs, fJasmin (wants) tobring Homecomingback to the level of

excitement that itonce was.

TYler SingleTon,Coordinator

BY VicToria cookStaff Writer

Inflatables, free food and games

will fill Hooker Fields on Thursdaynight.Starting at 6 p.m., the first Fair

Before the Fight will take place aspart of Homecoming.

The fair is part of a plan byStudent Body President JasminJones to bring back the excitementthat comes with Homecominggames, said senior Tyler Singleton,coordinator for the event.

One of Jasmins goals was to bring Homecoming back to thelevel of excitement that it once

was, he said.Jones was able to achievethis goal as Carolina Fever, theResidence Hall Association andstudent government workedtogether to sponsor the event.

Singleton, game day affairs com-mittee chairman for Carolina Fever,

worked with sponsoring organiza-tions for two months planning thefair. Organizers said they expect todraw a crowd of more than 800.

Hooker Fields will be filled withsix or seven inflatables, including

a bungee run, a Velcro wall anda 90-foot obstacle course, whichSingleton said is the longest thecompany has.

There will also be a cash cubefilled with money, gift certificatesand prizes from local businesses.

In order to get into the cube,students must stand in line andcorrectly answer a Carolina sportstrivia question. If the student is cor-

rect, he or she will enter the cube.If not, he or she must go to the

back of the line and answer anoth-

er question later. But Singleton isconfident that the questions will beextremely easy.

A giant inflatable Twister gamewill also be available. How exactlythe giant game will be played is stillunclear to organizers.

I dont have any idea, Singletonsaid. However people want to do it

when they get there.There will also be a joust, 150

free pizzas, several relays, popcorn,cotton candy, a frozen T-shirt con-test and a jam band that bangs on

trash cans and other items.As a sponsor of the event, Amp

Energy will also be giving out freeenergy drinks.

The entire event was budgetedat $4,000, which included inflat-ables, food and a stage. The budget

was split between the organizinggroups and was supplemented withsome outside help.

This year, Carolina Fever decid-ed to put on this event instead ofthe carnival it tries to put togetheronce a semester, Singleton said.

This is the best way to get themost participation by teamingup with a bunch of organizations,he said.

All of the organizations involved

expect the fair to be a success andbecome something associated withfuture Homecoming weekends.

The event will run from 6 p.m. to10 p.m. All students wishing to usethe inflatables must sign a waiverupon entrance into the field.

ellis suppts tl hlthLaurens proposalEllis will create a presentation

to inorm high school studentsabout various developmentaland intellectual disabilities

She will work with The Arc oOrange County and student vol-unteers rom local high schools

By Tyler HardySTAff WriTEr

Homecoming queen candidateLauren Ellis was born at UNCHospitals a true Tar Heel bornand bred.

More than 20 years later, she isnow working to give back to UNCand the surrounding Chapel Hillcommunity.

With her service project, Ellisis focusing on collaborating with

The Arc of Orange County, anorganization working to ensurethat people with intellectual anddevelopmental disabilities havethe services and support they needto grow, develop and live in com-munities across the nation.

The Arc also works on provid-ing activities such as social nights,cardio exercises and cookingclasses.

Ellis said the project will includestudent volunteers from serviceclubs at Chapel Hill High School,

East Chapel Hill High School andCarrboro High School.She is developing a presentation

to educate high school studentsabout different developmental andintellectual disabilities.

I feel like at the high school ageis where people begin to form a lot

of their opinions and ideas aboutthose with disabilities, Ellis said.

One aspect of her presentation

includes a lesson on how to havea respectful conversation withsomeone who has an intellectualor developmental disability.

Ellis said this is necessarybecause people often do not wantto offend those with disabilities, sothey just avoid them.

But she said people with dis-abilities want to be included in thecommunity.

There is a barrier betweenpeople with disabilities and those

without them, Ellis said.

She is also working on helpingwith the Arcs teen night, a socialevent for disabled teenagers.

Ellis said the Arc already has abudget set out to cover the costs ofthe teen night, making her projecta low-cost operation.

She added that through work-

ing with people with developmen-

tal and intellectual disabilities, aperson is able to learn to appreciatethe simple things in life.

People with developmental dis-abilities have so much joy to offer,Ellis said. They have a simplistickind of joy.

Ellis grew up in Raleigh and isdouble-majoring in political sci-ence and journalism and masscommunication with a focus onpublic relations.

She is also the president of hersorority, Chi Omega.

My passion for this Universityis definitely something thats driv-ing me through this process, Ellissaid.

Every day Im here I try totake a minute to stop and realizehow lucky I am to be here, to bea Tar Heel.

STAff WriTErSenior Lorenzo Hopper s

Homecoming project is inspiredby the many different organiza-tions on and off campus of

which hes been a part.From his position as an ori-

entation leader and a residentadviser to working in the Officeof Diversity and Multicultural

Affairs, Hopper said he haslearned a lot about identity devel-opment and wants to share it withthe University.

For everything UNC has givento me, this project is my bestopportunity to give back, he said.

Hoppers service project iscalled Who Am I? The heart ofthe program focuses on the per-sonal identity development of col-lege students.

He said he hopes to incorporatemultiple forums across the campusto explore hidden identities.

The forums will include mul-tiple exercises that are intendedto allow people to explore their

identities.He plans to invite motivational

speaker Donnie Thurman, whohas spoken to college studentsaround the nation about fresh-

man transitions, self-discovery incollege and identity developmentin students.

Ive heard Donnie speak onso many occasions, and he reallymakes you believe that you can

achieve through education,Hopper said.

Hopper hopes to make this com-munity outreach a regular part ofhis program.

My whole purpose in doingthis is to empower my fellow stu-dents to help them reach their fullpotential and to unite us to makepositive change within our schooland community, Hopper said.

His project also stems from hisown self-identity.

I learned how important it

was to figure out who you are, hesaid.

Developing that foundationand understanding who you areand where you came from is some-

thing I pride myself on.Hopper said the service proj-

ect gives him a chance to leave hisimprint on campus through giving

back to the community.I look at winning more as an

honor than an achievement, hesaid.

It would humble me to becrowned as Homecoming king ofmy community and to be support-ed by everyone.

Hopper said Homecoming isa wonderful tradition that givespeople the opportunites to repre-sent their college and give back tothe surrounding community.

Im ready to get the ball rolling.

I love Homecoming, he said.Its my favorite time of the year.

And since its my last go around,Im trying to make it somethingspecial.

Players who get a hole-in-one onthe 179-yard hole 17 during Fridays

tournament can go home with thenew ride.Thanks to title sponsorships

from Pascal Architects and theAzby Fund, the tournament hasbeen able to expand its publicityand come up with new incentivesfor players through prizes andgiveaways.

The golf tournament has reallyexpanded this year, said DanceMarathon publicity chairwomanKate Gillam.

We have a number of good

sponsorships and other giveawaysthat are going to provide a base forfuture expansion.

Im actually playing myself,she added. Personally, I am excit-ed for the possibility of winning aPorsche.

The golf tournament is part ofDance Marathons year-long fund-raising efforts for N.C. ChildrensHospital that culminate in a24-hour dance event.

The tournament is gearedtoward alumni as a way to reach

people other than students onHomecoming weekend.But the teams have also been

composed of students, membersof the UNC club golf team, doc-tors from UNC Hospitals, parents,golf course residents and fraternitymembers.

This will be the second year thetournament will feature the GreekGolf Challenge, a competition

between fraternities.Last year, there were four teams,

and Delta Kappa Epsilon went

home with the trophy.We are hoping the Greek GolfChallenge will become more andmore developed as we providemore motivation and incentives,

said Nicki Drawbridge, DanceMarathons alumni outreach chair-

woman. Drawbridge has been incharge of organizing this yearstournament.

The fraternity members whoplayed last year had a lot of fun,and hopefully they will continue toencourage their younger brothersto continue to get involved.

The registration fee is $100, butstudents can register for $75.

While the original deadline haspassed, the tournament is stillaccepting golfers.

Organizers are aiming to have72 participants, and participantscan sign up as individuals or asteams.

The event will be held at ThePreserve at Jordan Lake Golf Club,

just south of Chapel Hill.They have been a steady partner

for the past four years, Drawbridgesaid.

The course is absolutely beauti-ful, and they run a really great golftournament.

Anyone interested in observingthe golf tournament is also wel-come to attend, Gillam said.

Homecoming actswill underwhelm

Jordan LawrenceDiverSionS eDitor

Ihonestly dont think I could

be less excited about thisyears Homecoming.

Sure, the alumni will have theirfun, reuniting with their formerclassmates, knocking back enoughBud Light to convince themselvestheyre back in college.

And its certain that the townwill be a bustle, bringing much-needed money into our economy.

But as far as what I see beingoffered by this years festivities,Im not just underwhelmed. Imdownright embarrassed.

And its not the underachievingfootball team thats got me pull-ing out my hair. Its the shoddyselections for the campus two

Homecoming concerts.No matter your feelings on

Sundays performance, I think itssafe to say that almost everyone oncampus envisioned someone witha higher profile than Fabolous.

Apart from dabbling exclusivelyin rap cliches and utilizing some ofthe most vapid, cookie-cutter beatsIve ever heard, hes also just notcool. Even when hes hit it big as hedid with 2001s hardly club-worthyMake Me Better, no ones takenhim seriously.

Im pretty sure the only peoplewho considered that song genu-inely artistic were middle school-ers chewing candy straws at danc-es, hanging on every word to hearthe expletives missed in the edit.

In fact, Fabolous is such athoroughly uncool choice that itmakes picking an unsuccessful

American Idol contestant seemhip. At least former Clef Hanger

Anoop Desai will be making ahomecoming when he takes thestage Wednesday.

And whats worse is we knowwhat could have been. Endlesslyfun mash-up master Girl Talk andemotionally charged Kanye West

protege Kid Cudi declined invita-tions from the Carolina Union

Activities Board.It seems that relevant and

respected entertainers dont thinkChapel Hill is worth the effort,even when tens of thousands ofdollars are on the table.

UNC needs to do better.Selecting the Avett Brothers last

year was a savvy move as thethrilling Concord outfit is now

breaking it big, but were still lag-ging behind our in-state peers.

Duke has done great thingswith its on-campus concerts, net-ting Girl Talk, Lupe Fiasco, BenFolds and Third Eye Blind in thelast two years to play its Last Dayof Classes celebration.

In 2006, Kanye West made anappearance at UNC-Wilmington.

Comparing UNCs selections tothese makes the schools organiz-ers look like they dont even knowhow to turn on the radio.

Its like watching this yearsFlorida State football game. Even

with every advantage a packedhome crowd, a huge lead theHeels squandered the opportunity.

CUABs throwing away itschances too, and if things dontchange, theyre going to continueto get blown out by the competi-tion down the road.

Its a good thing the VictoryBell isnt given to the school withthe best concerts. If that were thecase it would be tolling proudly inDurham right now.

Rowe and Stepney forHomecoming RoyaltyRowe and Stepneys commitment to service and the

feasibility of their new ideas make them the right choices

For Homecoming king,Desmond Rowe is the clearchoice.

Rowes experience as co-chair-man of Carolina Fever and as amember of UNC Dance Marathonand Carolina Kickoff gives him

a diverse sense of service that hebrings to this years race.

His proposed relief project forthe parents and siblings of patientsat N.C. Childrens Hospital wouldhelp parents and siblings get out ofthe stressful hospital scene.

The program, Caring and Active Relief Through Athleticsand Community, would include a

wide range of activities, from bowl-ing and laser tag to tickets to UNCsporting events.

Rowes experience and dedica-

tion to service makes him a strongcandidate for Homecoming king.

Krista Stepney is our pick forHomecoming queen.

Her service proposalstems from her experience work-ing with children at after-schoolcenters around Chapel Hill.

Education Toolbox for Kidsseeks to donate items to fill fourneeds fundamental to children:education, recreation, health and

well-being.We are impressed by Stepneys

hands-on approach that will focuson getting out into the communityto develop this project.

She is president of the ThetaPi chapter of Alpha Kappa AlphaSorority, Inc. and Miss BlackStudent Movement.

For all of her dedication, shegets our vote.
