More than 13,000 Tar Heel fans showed up in the Smith Center on Tuesday to welcome the North Carolina basketball team fresh off the plane home from Detroit. Several of the new national champions, including last year’s Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough, spoke about the team’s 34-4 season and their experiences in the championship game win on Monday. By Kevin Kiley and Kellen Moore Assistant University Editors

It was a party for all ages. School children and middle-aged men played hooky, grandmothers showed up with grandchildren, and students, some of whom had just rolled out of bed, met in the Smith Center on Tuesday to welcome home the 2009 national champions. UNC fans had been waiting to welcome their heroes home since Monday night, when it became clear that one of the most accomplished men’s basketball teams in school history would beat Michigan State to clinch a fifth NCAA title. And when the players, coaches and staff finally arrived at about 2:45 p.m., the crowd

erupted into a flurry of chants and cheers. “We’re national champs,” senior forward Tyler Hansbrough said. “It’s the best feeling in the world.” Their introductions were filled with statistics and accomplishments, but only one was on the forefront of everyone’s mind. “We did it, y’all!” senior forward Danny Green said to the crowd of about 13,000. “But the way that we did it — did you see how we did it?” The five scholarship seniors and coach Roy Williams took turns at the microphone, thanking one another and the fans. When they stumbled with their words, like senior forward Mike Copeland, who repeatedly said he was speechless, the crowd

And Green danced one last time to a roaring crowd. “I think because the seniors wanted it so badly, everyone wanted it for them,” said Yvonne Daugherty, who attended UNC during the ’82 NCAA Championship win. “So that’s why people are still excited.” A jovial Chancellor Holden Thorp addressed the team, expressing the crowd’s sentiment. “On behalf of the University of North Carolina and by the power vested in me by the state of North Carolina,” he said, “We love you.”

The 89-72 score, still burning brightly on the Smith Center scoreboards, seemed to be a redemption for last year’s 18-point loss to Kansas in the Final Four. “These boys have been fighting since they lost out last year,” said Jimmy Sessons, whose granddaughter graduated from UNC in December. “This year, they were not going to lose.” Fans and players repeatedly referenced Tuesday how the empty space in the rafters next to the 2005 national championship banner made everything look unbalanced. That problem can now be remedied. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Williams joins elite group of title-holders By David Ely Senior Writer

DETROIT — North Carolina coach Roy Williams loves to downplay the effect he has on games. In his mind, the win is a result of his players’ efforts. When reporters ask about specific schemes or halftime adjustments, Williams gives his patented ‘Aw, shucks’ response and again brings up his players. Always them, never him. But now it’s harder for Williams to deny his coaching prowess — UNC’s 89-72 win against Michigan State on Monday marked his second national championship. Only 12 other coaches own multiple rings. “Somebody told me if I win, I’d be the 13th coach to have more than one — I have a hard time believing that,” Williams said Monday.

“I hope I never change. I’m gonna go work at the end of this week. If the weather is permitting, I’m going to play a couple of holes tomorrow when I get back.” One of the coaches who Williams has tied for number of national titles is former Tar Heel coach Dean Smith. Smith coached North Carolina from 1961-97 and won titles in 1982 and 1993. Though it took Williams fewer years to reach his second championship, he doesn’t feel equal to the man he still calls “coach.” “Roy Williams and Dean Smith don’t fit in the same sentence,” Williams said. “I really believe that. I’m not being humble. I just don’t believe that.” Williams might be in rare company, but he isn’t comfortable pro-

MSU entered Monday night’s championship game convinced that this time would be different. For two days Spartan coach Tom Izzo and his players preached how they were a different team from the one that lost by 35 to UNC on Dec. 3.

After Monday night’s celebrated win, The Daily Tar Heel correctly expected a huge demand for Tuesday’s newspaper. “We’ve been through this a few times — in ’93 and ’05,” said Kevin Schwartz, general manager of the DTH. “It’s always the same thing.” So Schwartz tried to thwart the shortage and diminish the demand by upping production for Tuesday’s paper from the typical 20,000 copies to 86,000 copies. But even with 66,000 additional copies, widespread newspaper theft caused shortages. “I tried to get one and they were out,” said junior Cassidy Hursey,

Chapel Hill business booms Faculty

want open process

Throngs of fans seek Tar Heel gear By Mazare rogers Staff Writer

UNC’s victory in the NCAA Championship brings local businesses more money and the town more attention. But not all of the news following the night of the championship game shined a positive spotlight. Chapel Hill police arrested two people and received at least five reports of crime during Monday night’s Franklin Street celebration. Two UNC undergraduates were arrested after the game: Mallory Christine Britt, 21, for assaulting a police officer and Jared Anson Sink, 21, for damaging property. Police received two reports of breaking into a vehicle and a report from a man who said someone grabbed him from behind and

choked him. Many of the street signs at the corner of Columbia and Franklin streets were pulled down. The police estimated that the number of people downtown was close to 30,000, less than the 2005 celebration. And downtown business owners said Tuesday that there wasn’t much collateral damage. “When you have all that motion in the streets and alcohol is involved, people are going to do stupid things,” said Michael James, a bartender at Top of the Hill. Although the town is still calculating the cost of the signs and other damages, businesses are seeing big profits. For Top of the Hill, the festivities

Carrboro residents lobby for right to own pet goats With a handful of her neighbors acting as support, Carrboro resident Marianne Prince stood before the Board of Aldermen on Tuesday night with a simple plea: the right to own a goat. At Tuesday night’s work session, Prince requested the board change the wording of a 19-year-old Carrboro ordinance to allow residents to keep goats as pets. The board moved to refer the matter to staff. Current legislation instructs livestock owners to keep their animals on tracts of land measuring at least 40,000 square feet. But as Prince explained, small livestock such as goats or pot-bellied pigs don’t require that much space, and should therefore be allowed as pets.

Jasmin Jones is inaugurated as the next student body president in the Great Hall of the Student Union on Tuesday night. Jones’ inaugural address set the tone for the following school year. She intends to focus on creating a cohesive University community.

BEGINNING OF AN ERA New student leaders sworn into o∞ce Tuesday By Lyle Kendrick Staff Writer

For Student Body President Jasmin Jones, the challenge of fostering a cohesive University community will define the next 12 months of her life. That was the tone she set in front of other student leaders after being inaugurated Tuesday as UNC’s next student body president. “In my campaign I preached on three words: community, collaboration and outreach,” she said. “It’s important to reach out to our student body and let them know what’s there for them.”

N.C. Agricultural and Technical State University’s search committee heard that 14 people have been nominated and three people have applied for the job as university chancellor. The committee members will meet again April 27 and will recommend two names to the school’s Board of Trustees and ultimately to UNC-system President Erskine Bowles.

Jones is stepping into a tough role, one that requires her to manage an organization of hundreds of students, work with faculty, staff and administrators and fulfill a platform of campaign promises. But despite the major challenges of the office, Jones’ speech displayed optimism and zeal for the upcoming year. “I stand here before you as a young woman who is amazed with the opportunity and experience that Carolina has afforded me during my time here,” Jones said. Among her plans for office are a first-year experience program to help students adjust to UNC, a male allies for safety program to

A faculty group is seeking greater transparency from University administrators as consulting firm Bain & Co. evaluates UNC and suggests budget cuts. The campus chapter of the American Association of University Professors is worried that the firm has little experience working with universities and is upset by what they perceive as a lack of inclusion in the process. “UNC is a public research university,” said Cat Warren, immediate past president of the association’s N.C. chapter. “It is important that public business be done in public.” The N.C. chapter sent a letter to Chancellor Holden Thorp in February outlining the group’s concern. The letter came from representatives of many N.C. universities but focused on a single idea: a need for transparency. The Employee Forum voiced similar concerns at its March meeting, expressing worry about the company’s level of relevant experience. Bain & Co. usually works with corporations and has very little experience working with universities; the team working directly with UNC has none. Carl Ernst, president of the UNC chapter, said he believes that existing anxiety might be eased by giving the public more information about the study’s focus and why Bain & Co. was selected. “The lack of clarity has encouraged suspicions which may not be justified,” he said at the group’s meeting Tuesday, which eight people attended. “When people don’t understand or are not part of something, they become anxious and may draw conclusions.” Some faculty are also upset that the oversight committee for Bain & Co.’s work only involves three UNC administrators and no faculty, staff or students. Most of them want more consultation between faculty and administration. “There are a lot of questionable issues like conflict of interest and secrecy,” said professor Altha Cravey, vice president of the UNC chapter. “They tell us there is a lot of pain coming, but we’re not being involved in any way.” The association is an organization that supports shared governance in higher education. That means that faculty, administration and trustees all work together to make important decisions at the University. “What’s critical is that public institutions have meaningful faculty involvement,” Warren said. She added that faculty often are well-informed about how the univer-

Campus to celebrate Passover Dancers to perform at Several groups hosting Seders tonight Bluming said the flying matzah adds to the fun. “The matzah is the food of faith that our ancestors displayed when they followed God into the desert,” he said. “It represents the trust in God, that if we live a life that is ethical then our livelihoods will be strong.” Hillel will also host a Seder today at 7 p.m. This will include the reading of the Haggadah, or the story and prayers of Passover. Chloe Chemla, manager of operations at Hillel, said there will be a first reading, followed by a fourcourse dinner and the second reading of the Haggadah. There will also be other events on campus this week to celebrate Passover, which lasts from Thursday to April 16. They will include special kosher lunches and dinners that will enable Jewish students to keep their tradition, Bluming said. All of these events are meant to give students a place to celebrate this time of year even if they cannot be with their families.

Passover events: Wednesday, 7 p.m. — N.C. Hillel Passover Seder, RSVP online. Wednesday and Thursday, 7 p.m. — Chabad family Pesach Seder at the Sonja Haynes Stone Center, RSVP online Weekdays this Thursday through next Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. — Kosher lunches in front of Wilson Library Friday, 6:30 p.m. — Shabbat Monday through Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. — N.C. Hillel kosher dinner The Seders may vary from the way people are familiar celebrating them with their families, said Karen Bernstein, vice president of Hillel’s executive board. “Try and stay open-minded and to allow yourself to experience something new,” she said. “The Seders are meant to be something relaxing.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

national competition Team hopes for top-ﬁve ﬁnish By Sarah Frier Features Editor

Every matching angle, turn and roll has to be perfect. The dance team has made the top eight in nationals for six years, and this weekend they don’t plan to disappoint. “It’s a lot of pressure,” said firstyear Ellie Andrus. “There’s really high expectations to live up to.” The dancers leave today for Daytona Beach, Fla., where they will compete against 18 other Division 1A dance teams at the National Dance Association competition. And they’re the youngest team Mark Lyczowski has coached in his 16 years at the University, with only one dancing senior, he said. Only six of the team’s 16 members have competed in nationals before, captain Elizabeth Edmonds said.

Adam Goldstein, attorney advocate for the Student Press Law Center, clarified what is considered newspaper theft. “It is theft if it deprives other people from getting it. That’s the line that, if crossed, there’s a

problem,” he said. Although taking one newspaper may be free, it is not free to take all of them, he said. The policy on page 2 of every DTH states that one copy is free and each additional copy is 25 cents. “The reason the DTH is free is that we want every member of the community to have one,” said DTH Editor-in-Chief Allison Nichols.

right,” he said. Eight students, including Madlon, sought treatment between Saturday and Tuesday at the N.C. Jaycee Burn Center at UNC Hospitals for burns received as a part of basketball celebrations on Franklin Street. Three of those students had undergone surgery as of Tuesday afternoon, and they will all spend several days in the hospital. Their injuries could cost thousands of dollars each and cause infection, pain and long-term scarring. Bruce Cairns, the burn center’s director, said he has seen the dev-

It was a chilly night at Boshamer Stadium, but Patrick Johnson had plenty of heat for No. 6 North Carolina to beat No. 16 East Carolina on Tuesday night, 3-1. Johnson pitched six innings of no-hit baseball, completely shutting down the Pirate offense in his third start of the season. “We needed every strikeout, we needed every big pitch,” coach Mike Fox said. “We sure weren’t very good offensively.” In the top of the seventh, ECU right fielder Devin Harris sent a single into left field to break up the no-no, and Johnson took a seat for Colin Bates in relief. The 6 and 1/3 innings was a career-long for Johnson, and his 11 strikeouts were a career best. For the season, he is now 2-0 in three starts and 12 appearances. “That was the biggest thing, was just being able to locate — I was locating my fastball well, and my slider was locating well, too.” Johnson said. “I felt like he was going to leave me in until I gave up a hit.” Johnson’s performance was a welcome relief for the Tar Heels (25-7), coming off a hard-fought series against Georgia Tech where many of their bullpen saw extensive action. “You’re in about your sixth or seventh week of five games a week,” Fox said. “We can’t have a six-pitcher staff.” On the offensive side of the ball, Garrett Gore started off the scoring in the bottom of the third when Harris dropped a fly ball from Dustin Ackley. The error allowed Gore to come around the bases from first for UNC’s first run. Kyle Seager followed two batters later with an RBI single to center field. Harris’ error was the first of four in the game for the Pirates (25-6), and, as a result, all three of UNC’s runs were unearned. “It’s two good teams, and I think it was the team that made the least astating impact burns can have. “We’re trying to get the word out that this is not a safe thing to do,” he said of bonfire jumping. “Many of the people are not intoxicated, they were just innocent bystanders.” Bonfires have become a common student celebration in recent years, with crowds lighting clothing, paper, tires and anything else they can find after major basketball wins. When UNC won the national championship in 2005, the emergency room treated 11 burn victims. Despite the risks, students remain enthusiastic about the fiery ritual. “It’s a Carolina tradition,” said Rebecca Watson, a first-year student who said she jumped over fires

North Carolina right-hander Patrick Johnson carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, striking out a career-high 11 and walking three.

“It’s two good teams, and I think it was the team that made the least mistakes. I think that’s what baseball is.” Mike Fox, UNC baseball coach mistakes,” Fox said. “I think that’s what baseball is, who makes the least mistakes.” Seager followed his third-inning RBI single with another in the bottom of the seventh. The Tar Heels got plenty of production from the middle of their lineup. Ackley, Seager and Levi Michael combined for four of UNC’s six hits and two walks. All told, the trio reached base eight times. “It’s almost like we get enough on certain days and when we really need them,” Fox said. “You’ve gotta give Ackley and Seager credit, they’ve faced every left-handed pitcher in America that we’ve faced so far.” UNC survived a late-game scare when, with two runners on base and two outs in the seventh inning, ECU’s Dustin Harrington sent a high fly ball to the warning track. But the shot fell just short of the right field wall and into the glove of Gore. Another rally came in the top

of the ninth, when ECU loaded the bases on two walks and two straight singles, and, with runners at first base and third base, threatened to cut UNC’s lead to one or take the lead. But reliever Logan Munson induced Trent Whitehead to ground into a double play to end the game and seal the win for the Tar Heels. “I just felt like it was one of those nights, I felt like he was just going to shut them down, when Logan came in,” Johnson said. “That was huge for him.” UNC reliever Brian Moran entered the game in the eighth inning but felt tightness in his shoulder. After walking his only batter of the evening, he was replaced by Garrett Davis, who faced three batters before Munson entered the game.

at both the post-election celebration in November and this weekend. “I tended to go for the smaller bonfires, so it wasn’t too unsafe,” she said. “It was scary though when I was on one of my friend’s shoulders, and she jumped over a bonfire. That was a little much.” But Cairns said they are trying to combat the perception that bonfires are an acceptable form of celebration. “We have to work against the culture of fires,” he said. “When people say that it’s worth it, they haven’t experienced what we’re talking about. Because I’m pretty sure that if they did, they wouldn’t be jumping over fires.” Cairns said most students don’t understand the long-term impact of these injuries.

“This is not the same as a tattoo, it doesn’t just look different,” he said. Madlon spent the weekend at medical appointments to have his arm treated, and will face skin grafting and steep medical costs. As a saxophone player, he said it will be tricky adjusting to his injuries. “I was on Franklin (Monday) night off on the side of the crowd, but it was basically an hour or so of me holding my arm in the air so people wouldn’t bump into it.” Madlon said he feels lucky that his injuries weren’t worse, and he would urge students to steer away from fires in the future. “Most of the time they’ll be fine, but not every time,” he said.

ous embarrassment. But it quickly was clear that no revenge would be served. UNC jumped all over the Spartans, recalling memories from the first game between the two schools. “Yeah, I guess you could say that,” said Raymar Morgan on if the game felt like deja vu. “They’re just a great team. They boost their leads and keep going.” MSU guard Travis Walton said the action in the beginning was hard to register and spoke on UNC’s basketball superiority. “In the first 10 minutes, it was a blur. The first five minutes when they jumped out on us so fast,” he said. “When you got a team like that, you’re looking at a team that can maybe beat the worst

NBA decisions Once the national championship celebrations die down, a few Tar Heels will have to decide on their futures. When asked about his NBA plans during UNC’s post-game press conference Monday, Wayne Ellington brushed off the question. “No, we haven’t thought about anything yet,” he said. “We’re just enjoying the crap out of this. That’s ridiculous.” Ty Lawson is another Tar Heel that could possibly enter the NBA Draft, while freshman Ed Davis told ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach on Monday that he’s “definitely coming back.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Monday, instead of dancing at the championship basketball game in Detroit, the team showcased their nationals routine for an audience of friends, fans and family in the Eddie Smith Field House. They performed a high-energy routine much more complicated than anything they display on the sidelines of football and basketball games, with splits, multiple pirouettes and changing levels.

Last weekend, local hotels saw a 15 percent increase in room reservations, Paolicelli said. Any time a name is in the newspaper as much as Chapel Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, there will be an increase in the demand for information, she said.

RALEIGH (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The man accused of shooting eight people to death in a Carthage nursing home last week told a nurse afterward that he had taken six â&#x20AC;&#x153;nerve pillsâ&#x20AC;? and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember anything. Investigators recounted the remark in an application for a search warrant that was made public this week. Robert K. Stewart, 45, of Moore County has been charged with eight counts of murder. Police said that he walked into Pinelake Health and Rehab on March 29 and killed seven residents and a nurse. His estranged wife, a nursing assistant there, was on duty but was in a locked ward

for Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. The massacre ended when an officer shot Stewart in the upper chest, police said. Police seized nine guns from Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house and a .22-caliber rifle that they found on top of a Jeep in the nursing home parking lot. Police think that Stewart drove the Jeep to the nursing home, according to other warrants.

Obama returns Cuban leaders Obama stops in Iraq unexpectedly from oversees trip seek US talks BAGHDAD (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama made an unannounced visit to Iraq on Tuesday to meet troops and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. He landed in Baghdad after flying secretly from Istanbul, a detour on his way home to Washington after a five-country, eight-day trip to the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Czech Republic and Turkey. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit came as Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security outlook is fragile and some of the progress of recent months is unraveling. The airport was shut down for his arrival. At least seven bombs detonated Monday in Baghdad, killing several dozen people and wounding more than 130. Hours before Obama arrived, a suicide bomber killed at least eight.

I S TA N B U L ( M C T ) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama headed home from his first trip overseas Tuesday confident that he had managed to put his face indelibly on American foreign policy for much of the rest of the world. Using personal diplomacy to advance his broad policy goals, Obama charted a new course as he moved rapidly across the continent, attending three summits, visiting six countries and meeting at least 15 foreign leaders, wrapping up with a surprise visit to Iraq on Tuesday. White House aides also lauded the agreement by NATO allies to send an additional 5,000 troops to Afghanistan, though they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention that none would be combat troops.

MOSCOW (MCT) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The tiny, poverty-wracked European nation of Moldova slipped into chaos Tuesday, with thousands demonstrating against what they said were rigged national elections. The demonstrators, who mainly consisted of stone-hurling youths, demanded a recount in a contested presidential elections. They overran the parliament building in the capital city of Chisinau. Police were unable to keep an estimated 10,000 protesters from ransacking the building that houses the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislature and storming offices of President Vladimir Voronin.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 - An expert can help you solve the mystery, finally. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough information, but somebody does. Ask around and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the perfect person for the job. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6 - The workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intense, and there will be changes. You can count on that. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making a good impression with what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing on people who matter. Keep it up. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is an 8 - Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a good position to get what you want. Avoid a conflict by taking the long way around. Approach the problem from a different perspective and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be easier. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 5 - Tempers are short, so take care. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t annoy a person who simply wants to be obeyed. Leave that fight for later, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a better chance of being heard. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is an 8 - Do the reading and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out how to argue this case. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a lot easier than it first appears. Once you decide on your conclusion, you can find the facts to back it up. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 6 - Check under the couch cushions for change. Search the newspaper ads for coupons. Only go for things you need, however. Be frugal or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll spend more than you save.

Photos dignify AIDS victims By Rachel Coleman Staff Writer

P h o t o g r a p h e r K e n Wo n g brought more than 90 portraits of victims of HIV and AIDS to campus Tuesday. The black-and-white photographs form a mosaic and attempt to capture and evoke the many emotions associated with the disease. Wong displayed his mosaic at the Gillings School of Global Public Health as part of the Face-to-Face AIDS Project. Face-to-Face is a national organization that supports education and help for children in Cambodia and Malawi. Using photographs and videos, the project aims to bring individual stories of HIV and AIDS

victims to the United States to teach about the crisis and raise money for those who suffer from the disease. “I wanted to show the enormity of AIDS in Africa and try to capture the individual, the person underneath the disease,” said Wong, executive director of Faceto-Face. Wong, who first travelled to Africa in 2003, began photographing HIV and AIDS victims as a way to commemorate their personalities on film. The mosaic was presented by the student global health committee’s Narratives of HIV project. Wong used his photos to tell the stories of some of the victims, like Gladys Mahala, a 19-year-old woman from Malawi who suffered

from HIV, acute malaria, meningitis and tuberculosis. Orphaned and homeless, Mahala would not talk or smile, and doctors advised Wong to let her die in peace. But Wong and his coordinators in the project did not give up, instead bringing Mahala to hospitals for treatment, where she eventually began to lose her shyness and was able to attend school. “Seeing her smile and hearing her sing to our video cameras brought tears to our eyes,” said Wong, who added that these successful moments are the most meaningful part of his work. The Face-to-Face AIDS Project shows students the reality of the health problems around the world, said Matt Avery, chairman of the Narratives of HIV project.

“In public health, we study so much of the academic and research-oriented aspects of HIV and AIDS, and I think we begin to lose sight of things non-researchoriented,” he said. “Raising awareness for HIV is the most important thing to us,” said Lizzie Harvey, a member of the committee. For Wong, making connections between AIDS-stricken countries and the United States is the best sign of his project’s progress. “These people are so near to death but seem so much closer to life than the rest of us, and hope will lie in building the community from the bottom.” dth/Codey Johnston

N.C. Governor’s school UNC places in math contest Students apply principles to daily life faces hefty budget cuts By Chelsea Bailey Staff WRiter

By Morgan Smallwood Staff Writer

An enrichment camp for gifted students is likely to shrink by half, but those involved in the program are working to change that. The N.C. Governor’s School program could see a 60 percent reduction in program funding if the proposed state budget is approved by both the state senate and house. Full funding is secured for this year, but could be cut in later years. Governor’s School is a six-week residential summer program for talented and gifted students throughout North Carolina. The program, which caters primarily to rising high school seniors, is designed to give students an opportunity to study an academic or arts area of interest to them. “The program gave me a deeper understanding of education for enjoyment — as opposed to education for a grade,” said UNC sophomore and Governor’s School alumna Ashley Fagert.

“We were learning because we wanted to, not because there was a test to take at the end or because we wanted to get into college.” The program, which currently serves 800 students each summer at college campuses in Raleigh and Winston-Salem, would be reduced to one location with only 400 students in the proposed budget. The cuts were a surprise for many within the organization, said Jim Hart, president of the N.C. Governor’s School Alumni Association. Program alumni and others across the state are lobbying state senators to increase Governor’s School funding in their version of the budget. “I personally sent e-mails to senators and representatives to tell them just how important this program is to me,” said first-year UNC student Katey Mote, who studied natural sciences at Governor’s School. Sen. Richard Stevens, co-chairman for the committee on education appropriations, said he has received several letters, e-mails and phone

Groups of UNC students were ranked in the top 20 percent of teams who competed in the 25th annual Mathematical Contest in Modeling. The results of the competition, which took place in February, were announced last week. The competition was sponsored by the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications, a nonprofit organization that aims to improve mathematical education. “I know it sounds kind of boring to spend the weekend doing math, but it’s an emotional and bonding experience,” said Sarah Williams, a researcher in mathematics and coach for all the teams. Amanda Traud and Brian Pike also helped coach the teams. Working more than 96 consecutive hours, the 12 UNC participants split into groups of three to Contact the State & National apply mathematical principles to Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. everyday life.

calls from concerned residents. “Any time there’s a proposed cut in a program that’s been around for a while, it’s going to solicit a response,” he said. Hart said the program has many beneficial effects on the state. “It has had a powerful economic effect on the state in terms of providing researchers, artists, academics and creative people who have led the state in many, many ways.” The Senate has kept the cut for the program in its proposed budget, but will continue to debate on the budget before voting on it later this week, Stevens said. But Governor’s School supporters recognize that increased funding could come at others’ expense. “We want Governor’s School to remain funded,” Hart said. “But it’s hard to say that these 800 students deserve funding more than other people deserve to keep their jobs.”

Teams chose between two math problems, then had four days to make a model and write a 20-page paper describing it. After deciding which problem to solve, the teams set about designing computer programs to represent their models. Participants e-mailed their programs and solutions to judges who deliberated for a month before announcing the winners. Solutions were ranked on a scale from outstanding to successful, with four possible rankings. Each UNC team received “meritorious,” which was the second-highest honor. “We were pretty excited,” said first-year student Austin Ellis. “We probably could’ve put another three or four hours into it.” The first of the two possible problems asked participants to explore the electricity use of cell phones compared to landline phones, which have lost popularity in recent years. But Ellis and his teammates chose the second scenario and

designed a model to make traffic circles more efficient. Although it was his first year, Ellis, who does undergraduate research with Williams, said he could easily visualize the solution. “I had to create the program from scratch,” Ellis said. “It took about 20 hours, but I automatically saw what to do.” Williams, who participated in the modeling competition when she was an undergraduate, revived interest in the program at UNC and has been coaching since 2007. “I had two teams last year who did really well and got honorable mentions, but this year there was more interest,” Williams said. “It was a pretty intense weekend.” More than 1,600 teams competed with participants from 14 countries around the world. There were 294 total meritorious rankings. “This is a great achievement for our teams,” Williams said in an e-mail. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

The Chapel Hill Town Council will meet tonight to discuss the draft of an agreement between Chapel Hill and the University about the development of Carolina North. They will gauge just how well the agreement corresponds to their vision for Carolina North, planned for 2 miles north of main campus. The draft reflects consensus reached through months of discussion. But it also shows that some issues remain unresolved, said Jack Evans, executive director of Carolina North. Council Member Ed Harrison was pleased with how many issues the draft addresses. The document’s language is clear, he said, and it shows the effort invested by University and town staff. Harrison said he was especially glad to see provisions made for the permanent conservation of land in the Carolina North tract. He said he hopes to see the University make use of protected forest for research purposes. “I think the University owes it to itself to have an area where they can have outdoor research this close to campus,” he said. Evans said the plots of pro-

Interactive art exhibit invites UNC to decorate campus Multiple events showcase street artist Staff Writer

As the last of the Carolina blue paint from Monday’s celebration is being removed from campus, the Carolina Union Activities Board will be marking up the pavement again with the help of New York street artist James De La Vega. The sidewalk philosopher’s art ranges from murals to chalk drawings, but all stem from De La Vega’s main message — “Become Your Dream.” The daylong event will give students multiple chances to collaborate with the artist on different levels. CUAB President Tom Allin said the chance to interact with De La Vega is a rare opportunity. “One thing that we really try to do is to allow students to interact with artists,” Allin said. “It’s something more than just a presentation of his work — it allows people the chance to make art side-by-side with an artist.” C UA B h a s b e e n w o r k i n g throughout the year to encourage

Now it wants De La Vega’s artistic mettle to spread across campus with a program that will allow students to decorate the Pit with their own chalk drawings and messages. “I think it’s kind of neat that (Wednesday) morning the Pit will be a blank canvas,” Allin said. “Who knows what we’ll have by the end of the day.” Gabriella Miyares, a senior English major, serves as the CUAB campus voice committee chairwoman. She encountered De La Vega’s gallery in New York City and immediately knew that the graffiti artist could inspire UNC students. “His art is kind of in line with what I want to spread around campus, which is creative spirit,” she said. “We want people to feel more comfortable with having a creative outlet.” Growing up in New York City’s Spanish Harlem inspired De La Vega’s unique style of art, and he Intended Publication Date(s): Wednesday, April 08, 2009.

tected land, which trustees previously stated they would not agree on, would most likely act as buffer zones for streams in the area. Chief among unresolved issues is how to respond to the development’s anticipated impact on public transit, transportation and parking. A report predicting these effects should be completed by early May. “Even though we know pretty nearly completely what that’s going to say, we don’t have the final report yet,” Evans said. The draft also would mandate that 25 percent of Carolina North square feet must be dedicated to housing, and at no point in the development process can housing constitute less than 15 percent of the total built. The amount of land dedicated to housing was suggested by the University during discussions with the council, Evans said. The agreement also states that Carolina North should have a low environmental footprint. According to the draft, Carolina North, like the rest of the University, aims for total carbon neutrality by 2050. A plan for achieving carbon neutrality should be completed by September. Other aspects of the project will require further analysis before consensus can be reached.

Local government officials remain uncertain about the development’s total cost to their municipalities. Some found a fiscal impact report, presented last week by consultants TischlerBise, to be ambiguous and unsatisfactory. The draft states that either the University, the state or tenants will compensate the town for the cost of services required by Carolina North. “The council and the trustees have not yet, at any of their joint meetings, addressed these issues of fiscal equity,” Evans said. The council will meet with trustees April 22 as part of a series of negotiations to work out the terms of the agreement. A finalized development agreement is scheduled for vote by the council in early June. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Mistakes, if made, must be corrected

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR N.C. House smoking bill is a sellout to big tobacco

very newspaper suffers corrections. No matter how thorough the editing, flawed information is going to find its way into print. Accordingly, there are two obligations when it comes to accuracy: 1.) Screw up Public as rarely as poseditor sible; 2.) Make amends quickly when mistakes happen. On the first count, the DTH deserves a little bit of slack. It’s a teaching paper, and that means that on any given day, there are writers with wildly varying experience chasing sources and stories. As a result, the DTH bears an even greater responsibility to be forthcoming with corrections and apologies. One of the paper’s more striking failures on that front came late last month. Running under the frontpage headline “Language programs cut,” a March 23rd article detailed the unexpected news that 10 degree programs were being “eliminated” in a round of budget cutting. Ph.D. candidate Cale LaSalata gave the DTH an incredulous quote, telling the paper, “It just seems an impossibility, and it came out of nowhere.” Truer words were never spoken. The next day, the DTH produced another front-page story: “Degrees to be joined, not cut.” Those programs are being consolidated, not eliminated, which makes a big difference. This error was notable for a host of reasons: it was not a tiny detail but an entire article; it ran above the fold on the front page; and it scared the crap out of a lot of graduate students and faculty. But the most galling aspect of the whole mess was that the DTH never fully owned up to it. The follow-up article on March 24th detailed the confusion about the “cut” degree programs, but never acknowledged the DTH’s own role in creating that confusion. The only mention of the paper’s culpability was a “Clarification” printed on page one, noting that the previous day’s story “implies that courses offered through 10 UNC degree programs have been eliminated.” But the original story didn’t imply anything; it flatly stated that programs were being eliminated. The distinction between a cut and a consolidation can be tough to discern in a complex budget meeting, and a number of other media outlets ran incorrect bulletins about “cut” programs. But when an error makes it into the paper, the only option is to acknowledge it and apologize. “In retrospect I think we made the wrong call,” said DTH Editor-in-Chief Allison Nichols. “I think we should have put a retraction in an editor’s note in the second-day story, rather than a clarification.” While that kind of mea culpa can be embarrassing, it is critical if the DTH is to maintain credibility. For a writer, there’s no feeling worse than seeing yesterday’s story rebuked in your own newspaper. It’s like having your class essay hung on the wall, covered in a professor’s red ink. Yet for a paper that strives to serve readers while training the next generation of journalists, corrections remain a regular concern. The most readers can ask is that the DTH come clean.

Taking care of business

New business school certificate program great for nonbusiness majors interested in ﬁnance

new program created by the Kenan-Flagler Business School is a great way for nonbusiness majors to develop vital business skills. The UNC Business Essentials certificate program is an online-only course offered to anyone interested in building a foundation of core business principles. The program is designed to give nonstudents and those students late in their college careers an alternative option to pursuing an entire degree at the school. The certificate program is made up of six courses: Introduction to Business, Financial Accounting,

Economics and Finance, Marke ting, and Business Operations. Each course will take about 10 hours to complete for a total of 60 hours for the certificate. At a renowned business school like Kenan-Flagler, a business certificate will give a lot of weight to a resume. The program fits perfectly in the schedules of those upperclassmen who feel that they would like to learn and understand business principles on a deeper level, but who do not have the time to complete a minor. The same goes for those well into their careers who would also like to have a better grasp of business fundamentals.

Additionally, UNC-Chapel Hill students will be granted discounts on enrollment in the program. This program goes well with the University’s recently announced plans to focus on interdisciplinary studies. Applications are currently being accepted. Those who are interested should take advantage of this great program that does not require a large time commitment.

Keep schools safe N.C. House should vote for the School Violence Prevention Act to outlaw bullying in public schools

chools should be a safe haven for children, not only from outside dangers but also from peer intimidation. The state should do everything in its power to ensure a safe learning environment. That’s why an N.C. House bill currently in committee needs to be brought to the floor for a vote as soon as possible. This bill, the School Violence Prevention Act, will set a statewide definition for bullying and require public schools to have policies defining and prohibiting bullying. An alternative bill, No Bullying Anyone at Public Schools, has been filed by representatives who think the School Violence Prevention Act will be ineffective. House Minority Leader Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake,

said the School Violence Prevention Act “took focus away from the behavior that needed to be corrected and placed the focus on the internal thought process of the offenders.” That may be true. But Rep. Susan Fisher, D-Buncombe, said an anti-bullying law must be specific because there are certain groups that are more vulnerable to bullying than others. The School Violence Prevention Act identifies these groups while the No Bullying Anyone at Public Schools bill does not. We agree with Fisher that any effective anti-bullying law must be as unambiguous as possible. Naming specific groups can unintentionally limit the scope of a bill or focus more

on motives than behavior, but laws with details and specifics can have a stronger impact. The School Violence Prevention Act lists numerous characteristics that should be protected from bullying, including religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability and socioeconomic and academic status. The bill also states that the characteristics listed are by no means all-inclusive. It is the state’s responsibility to ensure that children in public schools feel free to express themselves, or simply be themselves, without fearing their peers. And the committee should act to fulfill that responsibility by bringing the School Violence Prevention Act out of committee to the floor of the House for a vote.

TO THE EDITOR: Your editorial in support of the N.C. House bill regulating indoor smoking (“Smoking compromise,” April 5) was poorly argued and researched. You say that the bill “will also protect business employees who have no option but to be exposed to secondhand smoke throughout the workday.” However, previously in the editorial, you noted that the bill “exempts businesses that cater exclusively to patrons older than 18, such as bars and nightclubs.” Are we to infer that the employees working in these exempted businesses don’ t deserve to be protected against secondhand smoke? You also try out an old shibboleth, believed only by tobacco industry lobbyists and the gullible few who listen to them, arguing that “the fear that bars will lose too many patrons if they are prohibited from cigarette use is a legitimate one.” Ever since New York City enacted a total ban on smoking in bars and restaurants, followed up by total bans in many other cities and the entire state of California, research has shown that total patronage actually goes up after such a ban, rather than down. A few minutes’ research using Google would’ve turned up some of these studies. Moreover, peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals are now showing that “thirdhand smoke,” tobacco products’ residue left on clothes, carpets, furniture and so forth, has deleterious effects on the health of people exposed to it, including the children of people forced to work in smoky establishments. The proposed bill is not a “compromise” but a sellout to the tobacco industry. Howard Aldrich Chairman Sociology Department

Unity Conference did not receive deserved coverage TO THE EDITOR: Although we are not surprised, we find it extremely unacceptable that The Daily Tar Heel did not cover the Unity Conference in Monday’s issue. Unity, a conference dedicated to LGBTIQ diversity and activism, is put on solely by UNCChapel Hill students. It drew more than 500 individuals to the Student Union for the weekend. They came excited and hungry for affirmation that is clearly lacking in today’s society. They were provided with workshops and performances that worked to break down their ideas of queerness and energize them to fight for the rights they deserve. Performers and activists from across the country came to lead and participate in the discussion. More, issues within the L GBTIQ community were expanded to discussions of race, class, sexism and religion that challenged our participants’ images of themselves and others. Both allies and members of the LGBTIQ community consistently patronized our events from Friday to Sunday. We have received e-mail after e-mail praising the success of the

conference and encouraging it to continue. Some were straight parents who came with their queer children, some were hardened activists and more still were closeted individuals who finally realized being who they are was OK. Does the DTH find these stories unworthy of being told? Or is it simply that LGBTIQ issues are just not that important? These were real, diverse people that did not fit in to popular stereotypes. These were not the people that the media loves to satirize or belittle. Unity should have been covered by The Daily Tar Heel, if only to educate the wider UNC-Chapel Hill community that being queer is not just what they see on TV. In the future, we challenge The Daily Tar Heel to truly serve all its students. It’s time to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Camille Archie Finance Coordinator 2009 Unity Conference Steering Committee Editor’s note: No one contacted DTH staff to let us know about this conference beforehand. Any student groups hosting events should e-mail udesk@unc.edu. We’d be happy to be there.

Get DTH championship edition with UNC integrity TO THE EDITOR: As a graduating senior, last night was absolutely one of the most amazing nights of my entire life, bar none. I’ll get a little slice of history with a copy of The Daily Tar Heel, something real and tangible that proves this wasn’t just a dream. I’m not really worried about getting a copy of my own; The Daily Tar Heel is on point this year. However, seeing people taking huge stacks of papers and selling them on the streets to anyone gullible enough to buy them makes me shudder. It is a despicable and greedy way to make a buck. If even one student or community member is deprived a copy of the paper because some capitalistic jerk decided to make a few dollars this morning, it’s one too many. After the enormous display of unity and absolute awe-inspiring togetherness that happened on Franklin Street (and lots of other places, too — we UNC-Chapel Hill fans are everywhere), it just really heats me up and makes me angry that not even 24 hours later people are back to their greedy, grubby, self-interested mind-set. It doesn’t reflect well on the University or on the community. I even saw students taking people’s money on the streets; one gentleman was wearing a UNC-Chapel Hill shirt, had his backpack with him and was sitting on a pile still baled together for delivery. I love my Tar Heels and I’m so proud of all they’ve done. This victory is just the icing on the cake of what has been a dream come true here at UNC-Chapel Hill for these four years. But I’ll get my copy of The Daily Tar Heel fairly and with integrity, reflecting the values of the school and of the community, not from a hawker on the street.
