Money to Burn

Open Minds?
UNC got high marks for protecting free speech. Students celebrated by protesting President Bush's Texas accent and duct-taping the Pit Preacher's mouth.

Where Is Everyone?
Student Congress held a poorly attended forum at the same time as a basketball game to find out student opinion. Members were shocked to find that students like basketball more than Congress.

Hoop Dreams
The men's basketball team won two games in a row this week. After a yearlong hiatus, fans are pulling "Doherty's Disciples" shirts from their closets.

Tar Heel Quotables

"We're going to ride that ram to some more victories."
Director of Athletics Dick Baddour
On a new ram statue outside Kenan Stadium. Does the ram come with a saddle, or do we have to ride it bareback?

"(Chapel Hill) needs more bars, and not all of them have pool tables."
UNC Junior Joshua Pero
Concerning the expansion of the West End Wine Bar. A college student eager for more bars ... good job defending the stereotype of drunken college students, Joshua!

"We know we are going to lose money every year. We budget to operate at a loss."
Managing Director Angie Bitting
On the Smith Center's operating budget. It's reassuring when business managers set their sights so high every year.

"I'm watching people put condoms on cucumbers. It's really very amusing."
UNC Sophomore Elyse Zarrinnam
While waiting to paint the Cube. If you think cucumbers are funny, then you've never watched drunken students try to fit a condom around Silent Sam's gun on Halloween.
