Since UNC administrators have established safety as a priority and said they are open to presidents’ suggestions, next year’s student body president might see more success when it comes to safety than any other issue. Chancellor Holden Thorp made safety his top priority this year in his installation address Oct. 12, and the UNC system followed suit when establishing its legislative priorities. Andy Rickelman, chairman of the safety and security committee of student government, said that as long as safety remains high on the University’s list, the budget won’t affect it. “Holden has really reinforced that he is going to make sure that safety is not going to suffer on campus — even when those budget cuts happen,” Rickelman said. University and town officials also said they are willing to hear suggestions by the student body president on how to improve. Both Brian Curran, Chapel Hill police chief, and Jeff McCracken, chief of police for the UNC Department of Public Safety, said they would try to be supportive of any public safety programs the president proposes. But McCracken said they would still have to examine the feasibility of such suggestions.
The issues
Blue lights The past three administrations have advocated for the installation of more off-campus blue light call boxes, as well as better maintenance of the blue lights on campus. Presidents in the past have given student money to the town and worked with town planners to establish blue lights off campus and have spoken with the Department of Public Safety about on-campus lighting.
Campus Lighting Student government conducts an annual lighting tour with administrators to identify poorly lit spots on campus — an opportunity for the president to influence lighting decisions. Poor lighting in Coker Arboretum and the walkway by Ehringhaus Field are annual complaints. An off-campus lighting tour also is conducted and focuses on neighborhoods heavily populated by students. Results often are presented to the Chapel Hill Town Council.
Transportation The president can work with campus and town officials to help define bus routes or other transportation policies. Past presidents have conducted studies to look at student transportation needs and brought them to town and University administrators. Raynor’s administration pushed for a Safe Ride bus route from Carborro to Chapel Hill, which will likely carry over into the next administration.
Alert Carolina/Rave Guardian Ensuring that students know about Alert Carolina and Rave Guardian programs are challenges the next administration will face. Alert Carolina is a system of text messages and other notifications that attempts to inform students of unsafe conditions on campus. Rave Guardian, a service of UNC Mobile, works like a personal blue light service that notifies police if you don’t reach a programmed destination.

UNC could require unpaid leave By Brian Austin State & National Editor
The UNC system could force faculty and staff to take unpaid temporary leave to help fill the gaps in the state’s troubled budget. At the Friday UNC-system Board of Governors meeting, President Erskine Bowles said that the system needs to prepare to institute furloughs, which would mandate that even some salaried employees stay home. Essentially, it would mean a pay cut for administrators or faculty. Several are suggesting the measure could be a stop-gap to prevent layoffs of support staff. “You could really do a lot for the burden that would otherwise fall on folks that are making the least,”
said Judith Wegner, UNC-system faculty assembly chairwoman and UNC law professor. Bowles said he’ll seek legislative authority to mandate furloughs. Several other states’ university systems have authorized furloughs, some as a direct result of economic problems. There are no specifics yet about who would be affected, though Wegner said she thought it was most common for administrators to take the pay cut. While few professors are looking forward to the possibility of furloughs, the idea could avoid the more unpleasant thought of layoffs among the support staff, including teaching assistants. “If that money goes back into
that instructional budget, it goes back into the classroom,” said John Stewart, chairman of the economics department. Instructional budget refers to funding for teaching assistants and other support staff. He said the economics department is considering cutting classes in the fall unless something improves in the department’s budget position to increase the number of professors available to teach. Asking teachers to teach either larger groups of students or more sections leaves even difficult advanced classes in large lecture sections. “It’s going to affect not only how many people are in your class, but that may in turn affect the approach your teacher takes to
teaching it,” Wegner said. She said she was further concerned that a larger class could keep students who might be interested in a subject from pursuing it. The talk of furloughs comes days after Bowles told campuses to reduce their tuition increase requests by a third, though he said the real problem was the budget realities facing the N.C. General Assembly. “It’ ll hit the hardest in the College of Arts and Sciences, and journalism is next,” UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said in an interview. “Those are the units with the most state support.” Thorp also said there would be no across-the-board faculty salary increase at UNC, which has long
been a system priority. The new tuition increase would raise about $9 million for UNC. A 7 percent budget cut — the worst-case scenario of cuts the system has been asked to consider — would force the University to cut about $19 million from its academic affairs allocation. When he presented to the board on Friday, Thorp asked the members to remember to tighten their budgets responsibly, keeping longterm academic priorities in mind. “We don’t want to make cuts that end up costing us more than we’re cutting,” he said. Senior writer Elizabeth DeOrnellas contributed reporting. Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
A little taste of Holden Thorp Project aims to focus By Lindsay Ruebens Staff writer
If Chancellor Holden Thorp were an ice cream sundae, he might be a sweet Carolina blue, warm and fudgey, and perhaps a little nutty. And that was the ice cream sundae called, “Thank You Chancellor Thorp,” that customers swarmed to buy at Maple View Farm this weekend. The sundae celebrates Thorp’s decision on Jan. 9 to halt the search for an airport location in Orange County. Many residents had protested the proposed airport, which would serve the N.C. Area Health Education Centers program. “I’m delighted,” Thorp said. “Not many people have their own sundae.”

From staff and wire reports
hile few people would think to consume a dolphin for dinner, recent studies show the highly intelligent sea mammals know a thing or two about preparing a tasty meal themselves. The study, released by an Australian research team, describes the elaborate eating rituals dolphins carry out before most meals. Among the procedures observed, researchers noted the mammals’ continued attempts to remove ink and other inedible and toxic materials from shellfish. The dolphins in the study also broke up large pieces of fish into bite-sized pieces. This type of behavior is rather unusual in nature, even for an intelligent species like the dolphin, the study reported. NOTED. Wedding bells and police sirens rang out for a couple in central Indiana last month as the bride’s uninvited sister arrived to attack the newlyweds. The couple, of Hebron, Ind., neglected to invite bride Lori’s estranged sister Annmarie to the celebration. Annmarie showed up anyway, pulling out clumps of the bride’s hair and pulling her to the ground in anger.

Edwards, Staffiera/Williams win groups’ endorsements Student body president candidate Thomas Edwards gained a third endorsement Sunday from Sangam, a South Asian awareness organization. Following introductions by the six candidates, leaders of the group asked questions meant to assess how the candidates could help Sangam and the UNC community. The candidates spoke about how they would help Sangam find money for events, how they would improve undergraduate research opportunities and how they would approach annual tuition talks. Sangam president Neil Patel said he thought Edwards had a good understanding of student groups. “It’s definitely validation for hard work and the amount of research that we did,” Edwards said. UNC Young Democrats also endorsed Meggie Staffiera and Sebastian Williams for senior class officers in an e-mail sent Saturday.

Those locations are off-limits to campaign signs according to UNC grounds regulations. The board also fined Tim Nichols, a candidate for senior class president, $18.50 for creating 37 Facebook pages with residence hall names such as “Ehaus South.” The Facebook pages had images of “Michael Betts for SBP” as the primary photos. The board determined that the pages could be construed as endorsements from the residence halls and fined Nichols 50 cents for each of the 37 accounts. The board also removed Nichols from Betts’ campaign staff and barred him from working with any campaigns other than his own.

FLO, dining discuss options To begin looking into local farms
GangstAIR impresses judges for $100 prize By Rylan Miller

By Trip Smith Staff Writer
Making on-campus dining more sustainable might not be as easy as calling up the local farm. To help bring locally produced food to UNC, Carolina Dining Services and Fair, Local and Organic Food will begin researching local farms, a strategy discussed at a roundtable meeting Thursday. But UNC’s strict quality certification might make it difficult to get the food on the table. Foremost among the issues discussed Thursday was the goal of developing a database of farms that can provide dining services with locally grown, organic products to serve to students. Scott Myers, Carolina Dining Services director of food and vending, said that such a database could potentially streamline the process of doing business with local farms. “What we’re trying to do is build the database so we can narrow down our search and reach farmers without having to call the whole phone book,” Myers said. Though an extensive database would allow dining services to more readily serve food from local farms, all of these farms must be certified by Aramark Corp., UNC’s food service provider, before their food can be served in dining halls. Aramark serves as a middleman between dining services and the farms it buys from, overseeing the dth/stacey axelrod purchase and delivery process for GangstAIR jumps off stage in the final round of the 2009 UNC Air Guitar Championship. all the food products that make it “Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs” author Chuck Klosterman helped judge the competition. into UNC dining facilities.

With a flutter of glittery eyelashes, Lee Becker, performing as Juan Andonly, rushed onto the stage in a pair of tight checkered pants as the audience screamed his name. His time to air rock had arrived. Rapidly wiggling his fingers on his imaginary guitar, he fell to the ground and convulsed in a fit of pelvic thrusts. Gerrard Hall boomed with this energy during the second annual Air Guitar Competition on Friday. In an atmosphere reminiscent of metal and glam rock concerts of the 1980s, ten performers battled for the chance to be proclaimed UNC’s ultimate air guitarist. Professional air guitarist Dan Crane, performing under the pseudonym Bjorn Turoque, hosted the event and opened the show with his own display of fast fingers. The judging panel comprised professor Mark Katz, author Chuck Klosterman, and Daily Tar Heel Diversions Editor Jamie Williams. Each ridiculously dressed air guitarist was judged on technical prowess, stage presence and air-ness. Song choices ranged from Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” to the Power Rangers theme song. Performer Mr. Fingers — sophomore Austin Douglas Johnson — started his performance in a suit and then stripped to a shirt and boxers while Daisy LaDeaux — sophomore Holli Crawford — ditched the air guitar and performed instead on an air banjo in her cowgirl boots, fringed leotard and hat. Air guitar wouldn’t be the same without the ability to take on the unique qualities a performer displays during the time on stage, said last year’s winner, Ross Mckinnon. “The greatest thing about air guitar is the utter freedom,” Mckinnon said. “There’s no restrictions to your performance because there’s nothing there. You’re working with air.” Michael Foote, performing as GangstAIR, won the competition after humping both sides of a speaker. “It was a very sexual performance, so I

Mike Taylor, 29, will tell you that the feeling his cupcakes give customers can be summed up in one word — bliss. Taylor, who previously managed his business partner’s Pittsburgh bakery, came to Chapel Hill to start the Bliss Boutique Bakery after he saw what he believed was a distinct lack of a cupcake-specific bakery. “It’s bliss, it’s extreme elation,” Taylor said, referring to the name he wanted when naming his store. The bakery opened Saturday at the former location of 3Cups on West Franklin Street with music playing in the background, free samples to the steady crowd that flowed through the doors and a display of their nine cupcake flavors. The kitchen, which was converted from an office adjacent to the shop, opens directly into the main bakery. Taylor said he knocked out the wall so customers can watch the sweets being baked and frosted by pastry chief Howard Allen and his kitchen crew. Alex Wolf, a UNC senior, said he enjoyed both the food and the
Lego exhibition builds popularity By Ryan Davis Staff Writer
Robots, pirate ships, space stations and a small city passed through the Morehead Planetarium this weekend. Lego-Palooza brought along extravagant models and projects all composed of millions of Legos. The displays, including 5-foottall cityscapes, a series of structures based on “Harry Potter” and a stop-motion “Star Wars” film created with Legos drew hundreds of eager young children — and equally enthusiastic adults. “Anything Lego-related is always a big draw,” said event director Carin Proctor. “It’s a chance for us to show off what we do and for people to see what else the planetarium has to offer.” Proctor is the director of the N.C. Lego Users Group, an all-adult group of Lego enthusiasts whose members designed and built all of the models in the display.
The models were built at different times. Some have been in the works for months, while others were built upon arrival. This is the fifth time that the group has held the event at Morehead Planetarium. Proctor said attendance has grown during that time and their group has added more members with each event. Wall-to-wall crowds filled Morehead Planetarium both days of the exhibit, making the exhibits standing-room only. The group also hosts other events in the state and attends nationwide “brick fairs.” One of the exhibits showcased Lego Mindstorms NXT, a kit released by Lego that allows users to build robots with motorized movement, light and touch sensors and to operate them with commands. Projec ts created with the hardware and software included remote-controlled battle robots and a fully functional recreation of
WALL-E from the animated film. Another Mindstorms project was the brainchild of Lego group member Dan Pikora. Using an acoustic guitar, a few hundred Lego bricks and a Mindstorms kit, Pikora has created a guitar that essentially plays itself. “I play guitar a little but I’m not that great,” said Pikora. “I built this instead.” Pikora’s project utilizes two mechanisms — one is designed to pick the strings and the other has a steel guitar slide attached to a motor that slides up and down a rail along the neck. The displays in the planetarium were surrounded by curious children, asking questions about the construction behind each model. “Children don’t get to use their imaginations enough today,” Proctor said. “We want to change that.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

Multi-athletes excel in 1st runs Seniors go out with win vs. Duke By Ben Baden Staff Writer
North Carolina’s multi-athletes for track and field make only two appearances during the season. This year, those two come in this weekend’s Texas Roadhouse Carolina Classic and the ACC championships later this month. Both men’s and women’s athletes shined in their first showing, setting school records and provisional marks. Daniel Keller set the school record in the heptathlon while earning a provisional mark of 5,605 points — only 45 short of the automatic mark for the NCAA. “This first one of the year — you just want to do all of it together,” Keller said. “You get a feel for how you can do in all the events in the multi. “It’s not so much about place. …
It’s a lot more about score and seeing what you can improve on.” The women also fared well, finishing one, two and three in the pentathlon. Alexandra Coppadge earned a provisional mark with 3,738 points, while Gabby Gioia and Danielle Brock rounded out the top three in the event. “There were a few events where I could have done a little bit better — the high jump and long jump, especially,” Coppadge said. “We each have a lot of room for improvement, especially for the ACCs. We should all be about 200 points better in a month, but this is a good place to start.” In the field events, former AllAmerica Austin Davis took first place in the triple jump, earning a second provisional mark of 15.66 meters.
DTH ONLINE: Read the full story on Saturday’s track meet at dailytarheel.com. Davis said he used this meet as a tune up for next weekend’s in New York, where he wants to jump at 16.15 meters — 0.45 meters higher than his current mark. Coach Dennis Craddock said that his team had the opportunity to work on a lot of things this weekend but that the team’s focus would immediately turn to the Armory Invitational in New York. “There will probably be 30 or 40 of the best teams in the nation there,” Craddock said. “Hopefully we’ll see some more teams from the ACC so we can see how we stack up.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

A standing-room-only crowd packed Koury Natatorium on Friday, composed of those unlucky enough to be standing in the back craning their necks to see the nine seniors standing poolside below. With families and friends by their sides, all nine graduating swimmers and divers were honored in a pre-meet ceremony and watched a video tribute to their successes in the past four years. The live swimming that followed wasn’t too shabby, either. Three seniors — Whitney Sprague, Yi-Khy Saw and Kimmy Davis — all managed individual wins and helped lead the Tar Heels to wins against Duke, 182-101 for the men and 169123 for the women. In their last home dual meets of their careers, the seniors went out

in style — due to the hard work of the underclassmen. The teams set 59 season bests and 24 career bests combined. One of those career bests came from Davis, whose time of 56.01 also earned her a win in the 100meter backstroke. Davis also kicked off the scoring for the Tar Heels, participating in a win in the women’s 200- meter relay in the first event of the night. The men’s relay that followed further cemented the Tar Heels’ advantage with UNC’s first 1-2-3 finish of the evening. Sprague opened her evening strong, with a second-place finish in the 1,000-meter freestyle that came less than one second off her season best. She followed that performance 3.792x2.0 with a win SpringBreak09.qxd in the 500-meter,

beating her closest competitor by almost half a second. Senior Yi-Khy Saw took home a win in his final home meet in the 200-meter butterfly, another race in which the Tar Heels finished in the top three spots. UNC women won 14 of their 16 total events, and the men won 15 of 16 after sweeping the diving events. The win also earned North Carolina two points in the Carlyle Cup, which pits UNC and Duke athletes against one another in a yearlong competition. UNC now leads 8.5-2.5 this year. The Tar Heels next face up against N.C. State in Raleigh on Tuesday, with the ACC Championships coming up Feb. 18.

“We’d have to look at each individual program proposed and try to determine what type of fiscal impact it would have,” he said. McCracken said that even though the state budget is being cut, money for the presidents’ initiatives are likely to come from other places. Rickelman — whose group controls about $40,000 every year — said implementation of some of the candidates’ plans would not be a problem since he’s heard of many of these ideas already discussed. He added that there are several campus safety Web sites available, and a half-price bike lock program will begin this spring — both suggestions of this year’s candidates. “There’s definitely a framework for these plans there, and I don’t think it’d be hard to make this happen,” he said. Rickelman said one of the largest things the new president should work on is continuing the established safety projects, such as the on- and off-campus lighting tours and completing the blue light system. But he said the next president should also bring in a new perspective to the position. “The new president needs to come with ideas on ‘Where do I want to go from here?’ not just ‘What can I contribute to the process?’” Rickelman said. While University safety leaders said they were supportive of
the candidates’ current platform plans, they all agreed that the largest issue the future president would need to work on is raising safety awareness. Tom Koester, co-chairman of student government’s town and external relations committee, said the future president should work on making safety concerns more tangible for students. “By telling students how to get home from the bars when they go out for instance and making it not just some fancy campaign-speak,” Koester said. Both Rickelman and Curran said that although the president has little official authority, he or she has a large influence on the officials and students alike. Curran said one example of where the student government executive branch had a lot of influence was on Halloween. “They were the ones that suggested adding a Safe Ride home that night,” Curran said. “We put out probably 12 different buses just going downtown to the apartments that night, and that was basically due to government requests.” Rickelman said Orange County officials really do listen to the student body president seriously and want to work with him or her. “The people that do make those changes directly are really open to new suggestions, and I think that’s one of the areas that the student body president is really going to be able to contribute.”

program, which asks new and old residents to note on a map where they live or have lived within the community. Last year, community members mapped where they lived during the neighborhood’s height. This year, students will participate for the first time, mapping where they live. “Our goal is to inform the community how we live now and how we’ll move forward,” said Hidden Voices research staff member Marie Garlock. Hidden Voices also incorporates research from a sociology project where UNC students inter viewed members of the Northside community about their experiences. Harris said students involved in the interview process were shocked to learn their sources had grown up hearing first hand accounts of slavery and that many of their last names were the same as those lining the walls of Memorial Hall. “The stories we didn’t expect were the ones of the corn shucking and hog killing in the streets,” Harris said. The Northside community has always been tied to the University, which still employs a large portion of the neighborhood today. “The existence of these neighborhoods exists because of the University,” Harris said. But on-campus dormitories and Contact the University Editor apartments do not supply all stuat udesk@unc.edu. dents with housing, and many students are taking residence in the local neighborhoods surrounding the University, such as Northside. So many Northside residents are being displaced as property values continue to rise. Harris said she hopes that students recognize how their presence impacts the community and that the project will strengthen the connections between the elderly residents of the area and the steadily increasing number of

National and World News Low turnout in Iraqi election
As Senate meets to discuss stimulus bill, everything seems up for debate
BAGHDAD (MCT) — Voter turnout in Iraq’s provincial elections Saturday was the lowest in the nation’s short history as a democracy, despite a relative calm across the nation. Only about 7.5 million of more than 14 million registered voters voted. Interviews suggest many are disillusioned with the current government. In addition to many choosing not to vote, thousands of potential voters were unable to cast ballots Saturday because official voter lists did not contain their names. Street protests resulted.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The U.S. Senate this week will debate the future of the American economy and everything’s up for discussion: how to levy taxes, create jobs, and reinvigorate state and local governments. A growing sense that the plan passed by the House last week is flawed means almost any idea could win or lose. Officially, senators are considering an $889 billion stimulus package. Fresh in their minds is Friday’s new data showing the economy shrank 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008, its
worst quarterly decline in nearly 27 years. And the prospect that January unemployment figures, due out this Friday, will show more staggering job losses. Votes on specific proposal are likely to start Tuesday, with final passage by the end of the week. The Senate will start with a blueprint that includes $342 billion in tax cuts, some $67 billion more than the House included in its version last week. The biggest difference is the Senate’s inclusion of a break in the alternative minimum tax for an estimated 24 million people this year.
Mormon church Insurers overstate involved in Prop 8 Medicare charges
Obama eyes new commerce head
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (MCT) — The Mormon church revealed in a campaign filing that the church spent nearly $190,000 to help pass Proposition 8, the Nov. ballot measure that banned gay marriage in California. In the filing made Friday, the Mormon church reported thousands in travel expenses, such as airline tickets, hotel rooms and car rentals for the campaign. The church also reported $96,849.31 worth of “compensated staff time” — hours that church employees spent working to pass the same-sex marriage ban.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Sen. Judd Gregg, of New Hampshire, is the leading candidate to become President Barack Obama’s commerce secretary, an administration official said Saturday. The decision could be announced as early as Monday. Gregg’s appointment would add a third Republican to Obama’s Cabinet at a time when the president is working to build GOP support for his agenda. But it also could potentially tip the power balance in the Senate, if the Democratic governor of New Hampshire decides to name a Democrat to take Gregg’s place.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Insurance companies involved in the Medicare prescription drug benefit have overcharged subscribers and taxpayers by several billion dollars, according to the inspector general for the Department of Health and Human Services. Of the participating insurance companies, 80 percent owe an estimated $4.4 billion for 2006 alone. But Medicare has been slow to follow up and doesn’t know how much money the insurance companies owe taxpayers because it hasn’t begun most of the financial audits needed to determine that.

Relay organizers start fundraising By Elisabeth Gilbert Staff writer
With two months to go before Relay For Life, UNC organizers are coming up with a wealth of other ways for students to raise awareness and money, from eating to strutting on the catwalk to, yes, spooning. The annual relay event, to be held April 3-4, is just one of many similar events held nationwide to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Fundraising chairwoman Megan Sappenfield said UNC’s Relayrelated fundraising efforts already have made $30,000. As of this weekend, 575 participants in 128 teams had registered for the event — triple the number of team members who had signed up by this point last year. But the event’s organizers say that while Relay is the centerpiece of their fundraising campaign, they will be offering plenty of additional chances for the University community to get involved. “We have some special surprises in store, because we just
want people to see how fun Relay is and remember why they do it,” Sappenfield said. The biggest is Relay Rally, which will span the week of Feb. 16. As the last big recruitment push before the Feb. 20 registration deadline, it will serve as an opportunity for volunteers to flood the Pit and dining halls in search of participants. Relay’s leaders also have lined up a blitz of bar and restaurant nights, in which establishments donate their cover charge or a portion of their proceeds for the evening to the cause. The most recent was a wellattended night at Players on Saturday, said Spencer Busby, the event’s organizer. Other locations include Ben and Jerry’s on Feb. 11 and the Library on Feb. 17. Event Chairwoman Krista Pool said other events are in the works but dates have not been set yet. These events include a fashion show, a battle of a cappella groups and a spoon train — a line of people cuddling. “We’re stepping out of our
boundaries this year and trying something new,” Pool said of the last — an official attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Spoon Train, set at 127 by Notre Dame University. She added that either participants would pay to spoon, or pay a general admission price that would include food, live music and a T-shirt. But the events are not aimed solely at raising money and registering Relayers. Campus Outreach Chairwoman Lindsey Carpenter said the committee also will sponsor cancer awareness programs, including an outdoor event called “Slip, Slap, Slop and Slide” to educate students on skin cancer prevention. And because teams also raise funds on their own, many more Relay-related events likely will pop up throughout the next two months. Students, faculty, staff and community members can sign up at uncrelay.org. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

t Carolina, we’re rightly proud of our campus traditions because we have such a rich history to celebrate. One of those has been robust free expression, including students organizing protests to express views on important social issues of the day or to disagree with University positions. I know these traditions well, as one of my family members was a vigorous participant in civil protests at Carolina over wages and conditions for housekeepers and disability access during the Hardin administration. So, of course, I don’t want our traditions to change. But we are making a change in how students can express themselves inside designated administration buildings. This move comes after my Student Advisory Committee spent part Guest of last fall soliciting COLUMNIST input from student groups involved in recent protests and demonstrations, as well as key faculty and staff who interact with those groups. The committee worked diligently and held an open forum to generate ideas to include in a report to me. I’ve taken that information into account and thought about the extended protest by Student Action with Workers last spring in South Building that ended with arrests. As the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, my office was in South Building and I experienced that stretch of time as an administrator who, as a proud alumnus, could also appreciate the context because of our campus culture. But the more I thought about this issue, the more convinced I became that we need guidelines that defend free speech and the right to protest, as well as protect campus safety and preserve the University’s ability to conduct normal business. We’ve just adopted guidelines that I think accomplish those objectives by establishing some reasonable, common-sense rules for our main administration buildings: South Building, Student Academic Services Buildings and Carr Building. (Complete guidelines will be posted on the Dean of Students Web site, deanofstudents.unc.edu/.) Outside, nothing changes. Our Facilities Use Policy still applies. And places like Polk Place, the Pit and the Campus Y courtyard have long been locations for protests. Inside, people are free to come in public areas (not offices) of these administration buildings, including South, and express themselves during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) as long as they don’t disrupt normal business and comply with the fire marshal’s occupancy rules for safety reasons. The new guidelines detail what you can’t do inside — for example, no cranking up loud music or using bullhorns, plastering posters everywhere or bringing in microwaves and bags of groceries or coolers. Bringing in just your lunch is OK, as long as it’s during business hours. The main thing that’s new is that when the building closes at 5 p.m., the protesters have to leave. If they don’t, they’ll get two different warnings — first from an administrator and then by a campus police officer. If they still don’t leave, our campus police will have no choice but to make arrests. All this does is set some reasonable limits on how a protest or sit-in happens. It doesn’t change a group’s ability to protest or to get its message out to the larger campus community and beyond. There are still plenty of ways to do that — just not inside one of these designated buildings after business hours. A key for me in reaching this conclusion was considering the impact an extended occupation of South Building has on campus safety and security. I’ve talked a lot about how impressed I’ve been with our Department of Public Safety. During last spring’s protest, we assigned one, sometimes two, officers to be in South Building overnight and on weekends to assure the safety of the protesters. But that diverted an already limited number of available officers — we generally have eight total at night — from their main responsibility of patrolling campus and keeping it as safe as possible for all of us. In the end, it’s more important to me to have all available officers doing their regular jobs after administration buildings close. Finally, I have an academic basis for the change. Granted, participating in a protest or sit-in can be a very important part of a student’s educational experience at Carolina. But doing so for days or weeks on end can wreak havoc on studies, lab reports, grades and even actually graduating. I’d rather our students have the opportunity, if they so choose, to make a statement on the issue they feel strongly about without missing a bunch of classes. We want students to go to class. That’s why they’re here.
— on “linguistic defense of affirmative action”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A despicable defacement Painting in blue on Kay Yow’s image was reprehensible and should not taint universities’ relationship
T
he defacement of an image of Kay Yow on the N.C. State University’s Free Expression Tunnel is no doubt a despicable act. The former N.C. State women’s basketball head coach was honored on the tunnel after losing her fight to breast cancer Jan. 24. Someone painted a mustache and wrote “cancer rules” on the portrait in blue writing the night after a basketball game between rivals. This act clearly lacks sensitivity and compassion — values represented by both NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill campus communities. UNC shouldn’t stand for such shameful and hateful acts. Both communities cannot allow such actions so reprehensible to undermine the inherent bond between our
schools. Our long-standing relationship is one marked by friendship and healthy competition. We can’t let this mar the celebration of Yow’s life and achievements. Off the basketball court, she raised awareness and funds for breast cancer research, in addition to coaching and mentoring generations of girls and women. Several women’s basketball teams across the country — including UNC-CH— have worn pink warm-ups or uniforms in the past week in tribute to Yow. Her work and passing had a tremendous impact on many communities. The Free Expression Tunnel should be a place for discussion and a celebration of expression, not for hate speech and intentionally offensive displays. This most recent act fol-
lows a November incident in which threatening, racist graffiti directed at then Presidentelect Barack Obama appeared, and the secret service was called to investigate. N.C. State’s Student Senate President Pro Tem Kelli Rogers says that when these hateful messages appear on the tunnel, students take it upon themselves to reclaim the space with messages they’re proud of. Sure enough, by Sunday someone had painted over the slurs in pink. It’s important to recognize that hateful messages don’t represent the sentiments of any majority. We cannot let something so reprehensible hurt the relationship between the two universities or Yow’s legacy. Our condolences go out to Yow’s family and friends.
Vote for the environment Congress should put sustainability fee renewal on Feb. 10 ballot, and students should pass $4 fee
S
tudent Congress should vote in favor of placing a renewal of the sustainability fee on the Feb. 10 ballot. The sustainability fee, initiated in 2003 and last renewed in 2005, is a way for students to improve the University’s impact on the environment. At $4 a year, it is a small price for students to pay to receive tangible environmental benefits. Money from this fee has
been used to install solar panels to the roof of Morrison Residence Hall in 2007 and to fuel P2P buses with biodiesel in 2005. Although these initiatives have been small steps in the University’s real effect on the environment, they show UNC students that they collectively have the ability to slow the world’s environmental crisis. After Congress votes Tuesday in favor of putting the renewal of this fee on the
ballot, all students should pass the $4 fee renewal when they vote on Student Central the following week. The funds generated by the sustainability fee are managed by Congress’ renewable energy special projects committee, which aims to move toward more energy efficiency projects and environmental education initiatives. With the University’s commitment to sustainability in mind, these are initiatives we all should get behind.
Upholding due process Student Supreme Court set good precedent for election violation investigations going by the book
T
he Student Supreme Court made a wise decision when it ruled last week that the Board of Elections violated a student’s right to due process. The court’s ruling came after the board levied a $40 fine on student body president candidate Matt Wohlford for holding a meeting in an on-campus building and speaking with The Daily Tar Heel. (Candidate Ashley Klein was also fined for these infractions, but her defense was different than Wohlford’s. Klein’s fine was reduced after she petitioned the Supreme Court.) The elections board interpreted these meetings as open campaigning. Such campaigning is illegal until a candidate is officially cer-
tified. At the time, Wohlford had not been certified. The Student Code clearly states that any defendant has the right to defend himself before fines might be imposed. The opportunity to present a defense is a foundation to our county’s legal system, which the Student Code also espouses. The board fined Wohlford without allowing him to present a defense. Board Chairman Ryan Morgan ended the investigation immediately after Wohlford confirmed he held meetings on campus. But the Student Code is very explicit about the investigation process. It says that the chairman should present initial investigative findings to the board in a meeting
run by the vice chairman. At the time of Morgan’s lone investigation, a vice chairman and other members had not even been selected. Morgan should have waited until the board was convened instead of independently ending his investigation. Later, when the assembled board met to determine the extent of the fine, it did so in secret. Wohlford was not invited, nor was he aware that the meeting was even occurring. Clearly, this exclusion violated his right to due process. In its decision, the Supreme Court not only restored justice but also created a clear precedence for future boards to follow.
The DTH did not continue Young Democrats coverage
Column made assumptions about affirmative action
TO THE EDITOR: This week, Young Democrats endorsed Thomas Edwards for student body president and 12 candidates for Student Congress. We endorsed Thomas Edwards because we believe his accessible leadership style will make student government more open and inclusive. It will also serve him well on the Board of Trustees, where he can seek input from a diverse network of contacts across Carolina’s student body as the University grapples with some of the toughest budget decisions in decades. The Daily Tar Heel covered our endorsement process closely at first, when it saw it as a political power play. Yet when it became clear that our endorsements were based on who would make the most effective student leaders, regardless of political affiliation, the DTH simply became less interested in the story. The biggest problem of student elections is many people aren’t aware of how the elections work or what the candidates stand for. But once elected, these candidates have a significant impact on our lives as students. So the story is important, even if it can’t be reduced to a catchy lede. Student government isn’t — and shouldn’t be — about partisan politics. It’s about electing peers to represent our shared interests as students. That’s something we should all be able to believe in.
TO THE EDITOR: While Caucasians’ support of affirmative action is applaudable, it is entirely misguided. By supporting affirmative action, you support one of the lasting officially recognized racist institutions. The flaw that exists in affirmative action is the same flaw that exists in Rachel Steindel’s argument for it (“Linguistic defense of affirmative action,” Jan. 28). Affirmative action assumes that all African Americans are academically disadvantaged just as her article assumes that all African Americans speak Ebonics. To make these assumptions is offensive and degrading. Why not change affirmative action to target low socioeconomic applicants who might very well speak Ebonics or grow up in an academically disadvantaged environment? We already have a program to ensure these low socioeconomic students receive funding after admission — the Carolina Covenant. But no program exists to help these students gain admission into UNC in the first place. Does a Caucasian applicant who comes from a low socioeconomic background not deserve the same chance that African-American candidates currently receive in the admission process?

Duke Energy’s generator is in fact a ‘minor’ pollutant
TO THE EDITOR: I am also often embarrassed by UNC fans’ poor sportsmanship, and I was even more ashamed of the disrespectful responses to Capt. Bob Dilks’ Tuesday letter (“Sportsmanship is lacking at UNC basketball games”). The “Let’s Go Tar Heels” cheer during opposing team’s introductions is not school spirit — it’s designed to insult the other team. I love our energy during games, but automatically cheering against members of the other team simply because they are on the other team is rude and unacceptable. When visiting players have such experiences at UNC, it reflects poorly on our school. I know I’m not the only respectful Carolina fan out there, and I hope those who responded to Capt. Dilks’ letter and some poor sports fans aren’t seen as representative of the student body.
TO THE EDITOR: Duke Energy is building one of the cleanest coal-fired units in the nation at Cliffside, N.C. Duke is installing environmental controls that will remove emissions at a higher rate than any existing pulverized coal unit. In fact, Duke’s new Cliffside Unit 6 has never been classified a major emissions source. When the original permit was submitted, Duke used standard industry emission estimates. These emissions were not regulated under the Clean Air Mercury Rule. In 2007, Duke amended its application to build one unit and added more pollution controls. Duke did not recalculate emissions, but divided the original estimate in half. In October 2008, Duke and the N.C. Division of Air Quality undertook a precise estimate of emissions. It revealed that emissions will be low enough to qualify the unit as a minor emitter. Duke is conducting this emissions assessment as part of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology review and in full compliance with Judge Lacy Thornburg’s order. That a unit as large as Cliffside 6 can be a minor source is a testament to how clean the unit will be. When Cliffside 6 comes on line, four old units will be retired, and 800 megawatts from other older coal-fired units will be retired over several years. If you support a cleaner environment, then support Cliffside Unit 6.

Youth beat experience Sunday at Fetzer Gym. Virginia Tech took a 19-15 decision from the Tar Heels while starting nothing but underclassmen. The match figured to rest on the backto-back matchups of top 25 grapplers weighing in at 141 and 149 lbs. Sure enough, when Virginia Tech’s tandem of No. 20 Chris Diaz and No. 20 Pete Yates defeated UNC’s combo of No. 18 Vincent Ramirez and No. 15 Nick Stabile on back to back decisions, the match turned heavily in Virginia Tech’s favor. Check dailytarheel.com for the full story.
If anyone understands the UNC baseball team’s frustration of making it to the College World Series three years in a row but not yet winning, it’s Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona. So, Francona shared some wise words with the Tar Heels about what it takes to get over the hump as he and his team finally did in 2004. Francona was the keynote speaker at UNC’s inaugural First Pitch Dinner, which kicked off baseball season before the Tar Heels started practice Sunday. Check blogs.dailytarheel.com for the full story.
For a four-minute period in the first half, the North Carolina JV men’s basketball team could not find a shot. In a 21-0 run to finish the half, UNC (8-0) made sure their opponent wouldn’t find theirs. With that, the Tar Heels never looked back en route to a 102-55 rout over King College. “In stretches we played well, offensively and defensively,” coach C.B. McGrath said. “Overall, I was pleased with our effort.” Check blogs.dailytarheel.com for the full story.
EVANSTON, Ill. — North Carolina fencing coach Ron Miller earned his 1,200th career win Saturday in the Northwestern Duels. The victory came in a women’s match against Johns Hopkins, midway through the Tar Heels’ day of competition. Miller has coached the Tar Heels for 42 years. “Reaching this point is a culmination of everything the team has accomplished through the years,” Miller said. ”Everyone who has been on the team over the years has had a hand in reaching this point.”
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — No. 18 North Carolina downed William & Mary, 7-0, Sunday in the ITA Kick-off Weekend. With the win, UNC claimed a spot in the 16-team ITA National Team Indoor Championships on Feb. 13 in Madison, Wisc. No. 18 North Carolina first claimed a win against closely ranked No. 19 Michigan in the opening round Saturday, setting up a finals match against host William & Mary. The Tar Heels remain undefeated at 4-0 on the year.

the Wolfpack fan base to tally his seventh career 30-point game, his second in a row in Raleigh. “(Coach) doesn’t give me any special treatment when I mess up — he yanks me,” Hansbrough said. “I think every player needs that if they’re not playing well; they need to be taken out. “It either motivates them to play better or gets them down, and for me I think it motivates me.” NCSU swingman Courtney Fells caught fire in the second half and spurred a brief Wolfpack comeback, but the transition speed of Ty Lawson and the offensive balance for the Tar Heels helped UNC outlast Fells’ 20 second-half points. All five UNC starters reached double figures, and the Tar Heels (19-2, 5-2 ACC) shot 56.5 percent during the game. After the first few minutes, UNC was firmly in the driver’s seat and remained there for the entire game. Even during Fells’ furious run, a businesslike UNC response always

feel, just making shots when we’re not in the flow of things. So it’s nice to have everyone clicking, and we’re tough to beat that way.” The Tar Heels were particularly effective both in the paint (46-16 edge) and on the fast break (21-7). While Hansbrough had his way down low — especially in the second half — Ty Lawson continually pushed the ball up court on both made and missed baskets. He ended with 16 points and five assists. “I’d definitely say that the point guard tempo, control (helped stop
ensued, and the game lacked some of the typical bite of a rivalry contest. Until the last 1.9 seconds, that is. When N.C. State’s Ben McCauley delivered a hard foul to Mike Copeland with virtually no time remaining and a 15-point difference on the scoreboard, Copeland lashed back. But referees restrained him. Technical fouls were issued to both players, and apologies were exchanged after the game. “It was a hard foul, but there was no reason for Michael to react like that,” Williams said. North Carolina’s high shooting percentage in the game was largely a factor of where the team’s shots were coming from. The transition game and the dominant play of its bigs helped UNC get layup after layup while the Wolfpack (11-8, 2-5 ACC) settled for long jumpers. UNC outscored N.C. State by a 4616 margin in the paint. “They were just trying to single cover us in the post,” forward Deon Thompson said. “And that’s not really too smart, not to double down on Tyler or myself or Ed.” the runs),” Green said. “Ty, I think, did a great job controlling the tempo and pushing it, getting in the lane, finding our bigs, getting some easy baskets, getting to the free throw line.” The Tar Heels also kept balance and didn’t always turn to Hansbrough when the score got a little tighter. With 5:35 left, the Wolfpack crept back to within eight and they looked poised to finally make a charge. But it was Deon Thompson who then scored four points to help put the game out of reach. Furthermore, the Tar Heels continued to improve on their second-
Danny Green said the teams’ contrasting styles of play also contributed to UNC’s advantage in the paint. “I think their long jumpers led to our layups,” he said. “Long shot, long rebound. In the beginning, we didn’t box out as well as we wanted to. But once we started boxing out and getting rebounds, we were able to run. And it just led to easy layups for us at the other end.” But the final nail was driven home by Hansbrough. After controlling the key for the first 37 minutes, he stepped back behind the arc and sunk an open 3-pointer to put the Tar Heels up 17. His 70th 20-point conference game moved him into a tie with Duke’s J.J. Redick for the ACC record, and his 118th game in double figures tied Sam Perkins’ UNC record. And maybe, just maybe, his second-half effort earned him a ticket out of the doghouse. “He’s a heck of a player,” Williams said.

on in games now is rebounding,” McCants said. “If I’m rebounding, I’m feeling good.” She quietly mixed together a soft jumper and some easy layups before making one last crowdpleasing play upon exiting. With just less than nine minutes remaining in the second, DeGraffenreid stood dribbling outside the 3-point arc. As she picked up her dribble, McCants darted around a screen and cut to the basket. DeGraffenreid lobbed the ball toward the hoop as a streaking McCants banked in a perfect alleyoop. It was the type of rim-attacking play the team has missed — the type of play that Hatchell hopes to become a mainstay once more as the team heads forward into a difficult patch of ACC play. “(The offensive aggressiveness) is just a mentality,” she said. “That’s Contact the Sports Editor the way our teams have always at sports@unc.edu. been, and I think we’ve gotten away from that in the last month or so.” half shooting — a problem that Contact the Sports Editor plagued them in losses to Boston at sports@unc.edu. College (29.3 percent) and Wake Forest (28.2). Even in the recent narrow win against Florida State they hardly scorched the nets in shooting 39.1 percent after halftime. UNC was consistent against the Wolfpack, shooting 56.3 percent in the first half and 56.7 percent in the second. And while Green said the team still isn’t playing its best basketball, it’s hard to imagine it will get better on the offensive side of things.

are still students working toward a degree. Classes, practices and coaches’ meetings fill up a day in no time. “It’s definitely a full time job,” Flack said. “There’s a big time difference, because as a coach you’re busy the entire day,” he said. “Players have more time off.

That is why it will be important for the Tar Heels to learn from their loss instead of hanging their heads. “Like coach just said in the locker room, we’re going to get over it quick,” Crone said. “You can look at it two ways. I think we’re going to hopefully look at it in a positive way.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. Shelton sees a future in coaching for her. “The longer she plays, the greater her breadth of knowledge will become,” she said. “She’s a natural teacher.” Flack has flirted with the thought of pursuing a professional baseball contract. He does see a future in coaching and said his time as an assistant coach under Fox has only intensified his desire to have that title as well. “I definitely want to be a head coach one day, and you have to work your way up just like any other business,” he said. “I’m starting out early, so hopefully I’ll get an opportunity to move up.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

All they needed was one more win. And the feat seemed well within reach, with the No. 19 North Carolina men’s tennis team leading 6-5 in doubles play on the second and third courts. But No. 38 Virginia Commonwealth rallied to tie the score at six on both courts, then again at seven. The Tar Heels proceeded to lose two straight sets on court three and a tiebreaker on court two, giving VCU the doubles point and a jump-
start to its 4-2 victory against the stunned Tar Heels at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center on Saturday. “You have to give VCU credit,” UNC coach Sam Paul said. “They won the bigger points.” The loss was the first of the spring season for North Carolina and cost the Tar Heels an invitation to the ITA National Team Indoors Tournament. And despite a tough 4-3 win Sunday against California, the team still is left wondering what might have been. Every time they needed a point in their match against VCU, the Tar Heels were unable to capitalize — starting early, in doubles play. The teams of Andrew Crone and Zach Hunter and Brennan Boyajian and Alex Rafiee both failed to clinch the doubles point

for UNC after the No. 5 ranked doubles team of Taylor Fogleman and Clay Donato won the first match 8-4. “I think that would’ve been a huge momentum boost,” Crone said. “Maybe things would’ve gone a little different if we had gotten that point.” The Tar Heels lost the big points in singles play, as well, and singles wins by Donato and Fogleman proved to be the only scoring for the team on the day. Crone lost a particularly close match 7-6(3), 6-4 that clinched the win for VCU. His was the most intense of what became a battle between the teams in singles play, with words
being exchanged between players on multiple courts and even members of the teams being separated in the stands. It was a significant step up in intensity in what was the first big match for the newest members of the team. “I remember when I was a freshman, it was a lot of pressure,” Donato said. “You’ve got people up here yelling, people down here yelling … it’s a completely different atmosphere.” But Paul said the match was not the first and will not be the last with that level of intensity. “Welcome to college tennis,” he said. “It’ll be like that every time we play a good team.” And it was not even 24 hours before the Tar Heels were facing

R A L E I G H — I f Ty l e r Hansbrough didn’t already have enough motivation coming into Saturday’s rivalry game with N.C. State, he was quickly provided with any extra jolt he might have needed. After failing to box out and gather a rebound, UNC coach Roy Williams yanked last year’s National Player of the Year and sat him on the bench, only two-and-ahalf minutes into the game. Apparently, the message was delivered. Hansbrough bounced back to score 31 points to lead the way for a 93-76 North Carolina win,

the fifth straight for the No. 5 Tar Heels and also the fifth in a row against the Wolfpack. “He didn’t box out,” Williams said about Hansbrough allowing N.C. State’s Brandon Costner to snatch the easy rebound. “I love him to death, and, my gosh, I’ve been the luckiest coach in America,” Williams said. “But anybody can box out or at least make an effort. And he didn’t, so he got a chance to come over there and see what it feels like to be over there early.” But coming off his worst offensive performance of the season at Florida State, Hansbrough shot 12-17 from the floor amidst constant jeers from

Starters notch 83 points for victory By Jesse Baumgartner Senior Writer
RALEIGH — If North Carolina was looking for a blueprint in offensive production from its starting five, Saturday’s scoresheet just might be worth keeping around. Balance was the key word in UNC’s 93-76 victory against rival N.C. State at the RBC Center. While Tyler Hansbrough came back from a lackluster performance with 31 points, it was the contributions of his teammates that allowed the Tar Heels to score the ball easily time and time again. The starting unit all ended up in double figures and produced 83 points of UNC’s final tally. “We were pushing it up, getting some baskets inside,” coach Roy Williams said. “You like to look down there and see five guys in double figures.”

Danny Green gave them production at the start of the game with some 3-balls to keep pace with the Wolfpack. And even though UNC would hit only five 3-pointers for the entire game, balanced scoring down low and 18-for-20 shooting from the line allowed them to coast a bit after going up 12 points at the half. “I looked at the scoreboard, all five of our starters in double figures, so that’s a nice thing to have.

Italee Lucas hit five 3-pointers against N.C. Central on Sunday in UNC’s last nonconference match-up. All 14 Tar Heels played at least nine minutes.
For more than 14 minutes Sunday against N.C. Central, Italee Lucas couldn’t miss. Five times she hoisted up 3-point shots, and five times the net swished true. About the only thing hotter than her effort was the play of No. 10 North Carolina (19-3) as a whole, and the Tar Heels crushed the Lady Eagles, 98-45, on 54.9 percent shooting. Still, Lucas wasn’t alone in her shooting prowess as four bench players contributed to a 14-0 UNC run in the game’s first four minutes. “After the losses, we had some practices where I about killed them,” coach Sylvia Hatchell said.
“They didn’t enjoy those practices, so hopefully they made an impact on them and they don’t want to go there any more.” The team’s scoring difference against NCCU (8-15) allowed Hatchell to experiment with her lineup, and all 14 players garnered at least nine minutes. Juniors Christina DeWitt and Trinity Bursey were the main benefactors of this system. Both saw early action when Hatchell subbed out all her starters 55 seconds into the game. Moments after her entrance, Dewitt slid in a jumper. For the next Tar Heel score, Bursey swished home a long 3-pointer. “It’s a lot of things that happen in practice, where they help get us better or even (them) working hard now to challenge us,” senior Rashanda McCants said. “It’s kind of the small things that make a big difference, and I think they played
very well.” Even with all the attention to a balanced output, Hatchell’s usual starters still made an impact. Lucas started the show. “When I hit the first one, I kind of felt like it was going to be a good night,” she said. “I just continue to shoot on my own time, and it’s paying off.” As fellow sophomore Cetera DeGraffenreid gathered the opening tip, Lucas calmly found a position in her new home for the first half — behind the arc. Seconds later, DeGraffenreid found her, and the barrage began as Lucas netted her first 3-pointer of the afternoon. Of the starters, McCants in particular put together another impressive output with 14 points, four assists and four rebounds. “The main thing I really work

Athletes can excel as student coaches By Beth Mechum Staff Writer
Not every North Carolina athlete can be the next Michael Jordan or Mia Hamm. Most know that before they suit up in the Carolina blue. But that doesn’t make the transition from revered player to mere mortal any easier. “I’ve been playing the game since I was four years old,” former Tar Heel baseball standout Chad Flack said. “It’s tough to sit back and watch.” Flack and other UNC athletes have found a way to make their presence still matter by becoming undergraduate assistant coaches. It’s normal, due to extenuating factors such as playing for national teams or red-shirt situations, for players to still be at school but to have exhausted their eligibility. To quench their thirst for the sport and to remain woven in the fabric of their team, standing on the sideline replaces playing. The field hockey team has a long history of undergraduate assistant coaches, most recently with Olympian Jesse Gey in the fall. Field hockey coach Karen Shelton said someone well respected can have a huge impact in terms of inspiration. Plus, she can help in a way that even a national championship-winning coach such as Shelton can’t — Gey won one as a player. “When a peer like Jesse makes a comment, it can have more impact than when I say something,” Shelton said. “It’s like how what a friend can see is more meaningful than when a parent says the same thing. It’s the same way with coaches.” And its not just her words that can be more powerful than Shelton’s, it’s also her shot. “A player like Jesse can execute plays perfectly, so the team can get an accurate picture of what it is we’re looking for,” she said. “That’s a huge value. Back in the day I used to demonstrate; now I can’t do that anymore.” Because the players are still young, it can be a concern that current players will have a hard time respecting a coach who, just a year before, the current team partied with. But Shelton said because of the nature of an undergraduate assistant coach still being a top player, she hasn’t seen the age concern as a problem. She said it’s the impact players who become assistant coaches, not the bench player. Flack agreed that lack of respect had never been a problem for him, mostly because coach Mike Fox doesn’t rely on him to be the disciplinarian. “I’m more of a mentor,” he said. “I’m still their best friend, and I try to play the active medium between coach and friend. I don’t have to holler and get them going, I’m just there to hang out.” It seems like the perfect gig. Hanging out with friends and playing the sport you love. But as every athlete knows, there’s no comparison to being out on the field in the heat of a game, when a person is able to make a difference with skill, not words. Both Flack and Gey admitted they feel a void when watching a game they think they could help in. “I definitely want to get out there, especially during a close game,” Gey said. “It’s frustrating to not be able to do anything.” Still the experience as an assistant has been worth it, though for both, it hasn’t been easy. These former players turned coaches
