Ferguson gives ‘last lecture’ Study

To Paul Ferguson, learning is not about acquiring knowledge, but becoming inflamed with a passion for enlightenment. That was the central message the performance studies professor tried to get across in his lecture, “A Fire to be Kindled,” to a packed theater in the Morehead Planetarium. Ferguson’s “last lecture” — which was more of a performance than a talk — was a complex mix of dramatic art techniques that encouraged people to be enthusiastic about their lives. “I hope that when this evening is over, you feel like you’ve been
kissed and not like you’ve been poked in the eye,” he said at the beginning of his lecture. Ferguson is the recipient of UNC’s first Carolina Chiron Award for Excellence in Teaching. The award is inspired by late Carnegie Mellon University professor Randy Pausch’s last lecture before he died and is given to educators who inspire the pursuit of wisdom in students. A group of Ferguson’s students led an interactive introduction of the professor to kick off an evening in which Ferguson guided a crowd of about 200 students and faculty through a sample class.

Riley Matheson, the leader of Youth for Western Civilization, stands on the steps of South Building. The new campus organization has recently sparked controversy by sponsoring a lecture by former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, which was cut short after protesting got out of hand.
YWC leader steadfast despite protest By Anika Anand Staff Writer
Riley Matheson has always been interested in politics but never wanted to be in the political spotlight. Now, privacy is harder to come by for the president and founder of the new campus organization Youth for Western Civilization. Matheson and the rest of his student group is at the center of a controversial debate sparked Tuesday after they sponsored a talk by former Congressman Tom Tancredo. The talk was cancelled minutes in after student protestors clashed with campus police. “I don’t like the fact that every-
one knows who I am,” Matheson said, adding that he still holds fast to his ideals. “The only reason why I do this stuff is because I really believe in it.” Youth for Western Civilization, whose UNC chapter was officially recognized this semester, is a national cultural organization that focuses on the preservation of Western culture from a political front, Matheson said. He said the basis of his rightwing views stem from his traditional Roman Catholic faith and his respect for former republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. “I’ve always considered myself a
Buchanonite,” Matheson said. He started reading Buchanan’s books at a young age and met the politician last summer. Matheson may be fairly set in his views, but he is still close with those who do not share his opinions. “The way I handle friendships with people who disagree with me is similar to my political beliefs,” he said. “Your similarities with people are the things that draw you together, which is why YWC doesn’t like the idea of diversity because it doesn’t draw people together, it separates them.” Matheson’s friend Tristram Thomas, who worked on the local campaign for Barack Obama, said rather than debating Matheson, he
tries to find a common ground that will advance the conversation. “I respect Riley because we share a commitment to wanting to see our country and local communities improve,” Thomas said. Matheson said his political mindset is also influenced by his choice to be a Latin major. He said Latin is important because it has been the most extensively used language throughout Western civilization’s history. For example, Shakespeare and Galileo both wrote in Latin. While he has received offers to work in political positions in Washington, D.C., after graduation, Matheson said he is interest-

Documentary on free speech at UNC will play tonight By Kevin Kiley
Assistant University Editor
Hanes Art Center will host a lesson in UNC’s history of free speech tonight, which organizers hope can help students draw parallels to contemporary campus issues. Communication studies professor Gorham “Hap” Kindem is presenting a documentary he made in 2005. The film, titled “Beyond the Wall,” chronicles the fight by UNC students to repeal the Speaker Ban Law that passed the N.C. General Assembly in the ’60s. The ban prohibited members of the Communist Party or people who had used the Fifth Amendment to avoid Congressional investigations of “un-American” activity from speaking on campus. Me m b e r s o f t h e c a m p u s community have drawn parallels between the law and issues involved in Tuesday’s protest that prevented former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo from speaking, which is why Kindem decided to show it. “I think this is timely in that the topic is directly related to the current events about free speech on campus,” he said. “It even involves some of the same participants, notably the current SDS chapter.”
WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY Time: 7 p.m. today Location: Hanes Art Center
Kindem said he was inspired to make the documentary by campus events in 2005 like the controversial selection of “Approaching the Qur’án: The Early Revelations” as the summer reading book, as well as what he saw as civil liberties infringements by the USA Patriot Act. The event will feature a panel with three people from the speaker ban era: James Medford, former president of the Campus Y and roommate of then-Student Body President Paul Dickson, who led the charge to repeal the law; Jerry Carr, former graduate student and head of UNC’s chapter of Students for a Democratic Society; and Daniel Pollitt, emeritus professor of constitutional law and former faculty chairman. All three were instrumental in the speaker ban fight, an issue that dominated campus. “There was a lot of different campus issues, and the speaker ban was one of the biggest,” Medford said. In addition to bringing a bad light to UNC, Medford said the ban also caused greater complications such
DTH ONLINE: Read the report on community colleges’ options for admitting illegal immigrants.
By Caroline Dye Staff Writer
The N.C. Community College System is reviewing its policy on the admission of illegal immigrants after the release of a study Thursday outlining practices of other states. The report describes the various options for the admission of illegal immigrants. The options include considering them as in-state or out-of-state students for tuition purposes and barring them from the system altogether. “The policy committee will be grappling with this over the next several months,” stated Stuart Fountain, the community college policy committee chairman, in a press release. He added that travel restrictions and new board members mean it will take time to work through the report’s findings. T h e U. S . D e p a r t m e n t o f Homeland Security said last year that states may deal with the issue independently. Last May, the community college system effectively barred the enrollment of illegal immigrants at the recommendation of the N.C. Attorney General. N.C. four-year universities currently enroll illegal immigrants as out-of-state students. The reports estimate that N.C. community colleges would net an average of $1,680 per student if they followed suit with the UNC-system policy. Only Pamlico Community College would lose money through that policy. But there is no clear national consensus on the issue. California, Illinois, New Mexico, New York and Texas currently subsidize the tuition of illegal immigrants. Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia and Virginia admit them as out-of-state students. South Carolina does not allow illegal

he fine Southern tradition of serving tea to visitors is ingrained in those who grow up below the Mason-Dixon line. The height of Southern hospitality is embodied in a cup of tea served to a stranger. And as a woman in Mississippi showed Tuesday, not even a bullet wound in the head can stop the tea from being served. Officials reported Friday that Tammy Sexton, 47, who was shot in the head by her husband Tuesday, still managed to brew tea and serve it to the police deputy who reported to the crime scene. Her husband shot and killed himself soon after shooting her. The bullet passed through Sexton’s forehead and exited the back of her skull without causing significant damage, medical officials said.

Apartment rent on the rise Workers struggle to pay higher costs County rent costs continuing to increase By Lisa Andrukonis Staff Writer
Orange County residents are facing climbing rent. And wages aren’t keeping up. According to a study released last week by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, residents must make 59 more cents per hour than they had to last year to afford rent on a two-bedroom apartment. That means workers must make $15.90 an hour to afford to pay fairmarket rent on two-bedroom apartments without paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing. But the average renters in the county aren’t making $15.90 an hour. They’re making $10.90. And when wages don’t increase to meet rent, there’s an affordability issue, said Tara Fikes, director of Orange County Housing and Community Development. “The cost of living here keeps rising and wages are not rising to meet that,” Fikes said. Larry Carver, a taxi driver and
assistant cook at Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, knows what that’s like. He’s lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Royal Park in Carrboro for three years. His rent was $540 per month when he moved in and now is $630 per month, he said. But his wages haven’t increased at the same rate. “It doesn’t increase to cover the cost of my rent increase, so I work two jobs.” Carver said so far, he’s been able to afford his more expensive rent. Right now, he works 12 hours on Saturdays and Sundays in the cab and from noon to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday cooking and doing odd jobs in the sorority house. But he might need to work more if rent goes up again next year. “I’ll have to make some type of change. Not this year, but maybe next year.” Fikes said situations like Carver’s are common in the county. “We have an affordability problem here,” she said.
The wage needed per hour increased almost $0.60 last year for someone working 40 hours per week to rent an Orange County, two-bedroom residence. Wages in dollars per hour

The county serves 615 families each year through its rental voucher program, which supplements a portion of rent each month, Fikes said. “But we have 1,300 people on the list that we can’t help,” she said.

As a former teacher, school board member and commissioner, state Sen. Vernon Malone lived a life dedicated to public service driven by his passion for education. After more than 30 years of public service in North Carolina, Malone died Saturday.

He served on the Raleigh city school board beginning in 1972, and became chairman of the Wake County Board of Education in 1976 when the two school systems were merged. Continuing his public service, he was elected to the Wake County Board of Commissioners in 1984. In 2002, he was elected to the N.C. Senate.

For 40 years, Flora Parrish has greeted Chapel Hill from the police department’s front desk. This makes Parrish, 62, not only the longest-serving employee of the department, but of the entire town. “It’s funny in a way,” she said. “It doesn’t seem like I’ve been here that long.” After graduating from Chapel Hill High School in 1965, Parrish joined her mother at Sutton’s Drug Store. When her mother told her the Chapel Hill Police Department had an opening, she applied right away since she knew many officers personally. At the time, the police station was located on Rosemary Street. People going to the post office or town hall would walk right by it. “You got to know folks right away,” said Jim Huegerich, director of crisis and human services, who has known Parrish since 1975.

Stimulus Projects in Orange County 1) N.C. 54: Bicycle, pedestrian, transit accommodations upgrades. $1,500,000 2) Chapel Hill: Signal system upgrade. $4,875,000 3) Various towns: Bicycle and pedestrian projects. $1,509,026 4) Morgan Creek Greenway: Construct Greenway. $300,000 adding that the approved projects were ones that were shovel-ready and aligned with N.C. Department of Transportation interests. This money is the second part of the first phase of federal transportation funding, which will be contracted in the next year. The improvements are also expected to bring jobs to the area

The UNC Health Care System plans to open a hospital in Hillsborough by 2014 to serve North Carolina’s growing population, provided that two different organizations approve it. The proposed hospital would be a 68-bed facility with operating rooms, a radiology department and an emergency department, which offers constant physician coverage and other services. “It will be a general academic hospital with particular services,” said Karen McCall, vice president of public affairs and marketing at UNC Hospitals. “We will have services in Hillsborough that may not require as much direct connection with our basic science research.” UNC Health Care submitted a request to the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation on Wednesday for a certificate of need, which is required to build or expand medical service facilities in the state. The N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation has 150 days to review UNC Health Care’s applica-

tion, said Mike McKillip, a project analyst at the division. The application includes information about the need for the proposed service, how much the new facility will cost and the quality and accessibility of the service, McKillip said. UNC Health Care will also have to submit an application to the Town of Hillsborough before the hospital can be built. The town’s planning director, Margaret Hauth, expects to receive an application by July 1. A planning board composed of citizens and the Hillsborough Town Board will review the proposal. The town board and the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation both have the power to nix the plan. The hospital would be located in the Waterstone development near exit 261 off Interstate 40. Hillsborough Town Board member Evelyn Lloyd said the facility could create jobs and training opportunities for students at Durham Technical Community College, which will have a campus in Waterstone. “I think it’s a wonderful idea,” Lloyd said. She expressed concern that news about the proposal was

UNC Health Care representatives approached board members individually and initiated informal conversations about the proposal. The biggest concern that board members have is the loss of tax revenue, since a hospital is not taxable. Waterstone is designated an economic development, Lloyd said, which would combine residential and commercial components. Plans for the hospital will have to include something that brings in tax revenue, such as an outside pharmacy or new houses and restaurants. The board will also consider the effects a new hospital would have on traffic, existing properties and the town’s water supply. “It’s just going to have to be taken step by step by step. It’s going to take a while,” Lloyd said. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

last lecture from page 1
The challenge will be to sustain long-term momentum from the stimulus money, said Pete Andrews, professor of environmental policy. By offering students in any major an opportunity to try their hand at starting their own ventures through an entrepreneurship minor program, UNC is preparing students for the long term. Greener Greek Initiative was one venture to come out of the minor last year. As a part of the minor, a group of six students used the class to create a business and raise funding that would help make fraternity houses more energy-efficient. “It’s a greener home initiative with a more defined niche,” said Chris Gerding, a journalism major who is a member of Alpha Tau Omega. The minor takes students through the process of starting up a venture, and has been used to create green projects. “It’s … turning an idea into something that actually works,” said John Stewart, professor of economics and the director of the entrepreneurship minor.
He said the secret to teaching is guided learning. His lecture touched on two dramatic concepts — complexity overload and trompe l’oeil (“trick the eye”) — and his favorite aphorisms. Ferguson loaded his “supercondensed sample class” with interactive activities such as a memory game, a group poetry reading and a sequence of eye-tricking art. One such engaging activity was a tongue twister that tested the audience’s capacity for handling memorization and frustration: “I’m a mother pheasant plucker, I pluck mother pheasants.” As the tongue twister sped up, the murmurs became increasingly profane. The professor said he had some qualms about speaking, especially in the oddly arranged 360-degree Star Theater, which he walked around throughout his talk. He said he was experiencing a double pressure to respect Pausch’s lecture but not copy it. “It’s intimidating,” he said. While students said Ferguson’s lecture was different from Pausch’s, they appreciated its unique style. “I definitely want to take his class,” said sophomore Hannah Taylor. She said she went into the lecture looking for Pausch’s level of sentiment, but she appreciated Ferguson’s engaging take on the lecture. “It was incredibly engaging, and I appreciate how he took a wealth of life experiences and condensed them down into something short that people could hear,” said junior Bill Kumpf said. The lecture was taped for YouTube and other viewing possibilities, said committee member Elizabeth Bernold. Ferguson ended the lecture with his favorite advice on giving advice: “One: Never tell everything you know. Two ... “Class is over,” he said to a standing ovation.

by which organic matter is used instead of chemical additives, said sophomore David Baron, coordinator of Hope Garden. The goal is to promote environmental sustainability and community food security through locallygrown produce, he said. “We focus on soil health and plant relationships,” Baron said. Hope Garden has its roots in projects in the Carolina Garden Co-op, which has been active since 2002. Rather than simulating farming on campus, the Carrboro Farmer’s Market gives farmers an opportunity to sell their produce locally. The group of farmers rents space in the Carrboro Town Hall for local farmers to interact with each other and members of the community. “The goal is to increase awareness of access to local produce,” said Sarah Blacklin, market manager. “We want to create relationships that foster a sustainable future in local agriculture.”
Energy downtown But not all gardens are being grown on the ground. Greenbridge, an apartment complex being built on Rosemary Street, will generate oxygen through a garden on its rooftop. The building will also harvest energy from the sun and generate 60 percent of its own hot water. “This building is consistent with the environmental ethics of the town,” said Tim Toben, managing partner of Greenbridge Developments. Toben said Greenbridge will be 58 percent more energy-efficient than other buildings in downtown Chapel Hill.
The big picture Entrepreneurs are looking to a variety of sources for ways to plan and implement green projects. “The government is ready, we are giving tax credit incentives,” said Sen. Ellie Kinnaird, D-Orange, citing the federal stimulus package as one way to get funding for new ideas. “It’s an opportune time.” Some question whether the stimulus will be the ultimate solution.

immigrants to enroll at all. Some critics of federal immigration policy favor restrictions at the community college level. “They need to realize that there’s a bigger problem,” said UNC College Republicans political chairman Jason Sutton. “They’re trying to put a Band-Aid over it.” Sutton said he does not support charging illegal immigrants in-state tuition, pointing out the paradox of educating a workforce for jobs they could not legally hold. “The fundamental problem here is they are still illegal,” he said. Ron Bilbao, spokesman for the UNC Coalition for College Access, said he is glad to see North Carolina’s financial benefit in the study. “The most important thing is that we open the door to the community college system,” he said.

National and World News Focus of military Obama defends decision on Cuba budget debatable despite pressure to lift trade embargo WASHINGTON (MCT) — Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ proposed budget is likely to start strong debate about whether the Pentagon focuses too much on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and not enough on threats from countries such as China and North Korea. The $534 billion budget would cut traditional military programs such as Future Combat Systems — robotic fighting systems — as well as elements of a missile defense system and more money to fund counterinsurgencies like Iraq and Afghanistan.
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (MCT) — President Barack Obama resisted pressure Saturday from Latin American counterparts to lift the trade embargo with Cuba, countering that the steps he has taken to loosen travel restrictions will have to suffice for now. Obama, appearing at a weekend summit of 34 Western Hemisphere nations in Trinidad, reiterated that he is committed to improving relations with Cuba. “He said we are on a path of changing the nature of our relationship with that country,” said a senior Obama administration
official who briefed reporters on the meeting. “He is interested in dialogue but not talk for talk’s sake.” Cuba’s fate has come to dominate the Summit of the Americas after an unexpected overture from the nation’s president, Raul Castro, last week. But White House officials caution that before the U.S. normalizes relations, Cuba’s leadership needs to take actions consistent with the new tone, such as releasing political prisoners, dropping fees imposed on money sent home to Cuba and freeing up the press.
Iraq elects Sunni Arab as speaker
Lawmakers seek new carbon caps
Fires in Florida force evacuations
BAGHDAD (MCT) — After months of infighting, Iraq’s parliament Sunday elected a prominent Sunni Arab Islamist as its new speaker. Ayad al-Samarrai, who heads the parliament’s main Sunni bloc, won by a comfortable margin. Samarrai’s election, coming as the Obama administration prepares to begin drawing down American forces in Iraq, could aggravate ethnic and sectarian tensions that appear to be rising again. It could also prove to be a major step toward easing the friction between Sunni and Shiite Arabs.
WASHINGTON (ACT) — A growing number of lawmakers who are deeply involved in the effort to reduce greenhouse gases and global warming are beginning to question “cap-and-trade,” the current hot-button solution to the problem. Lawmakers are leaning toward a system, dubbed cap-and-dividend, that would cap carbon dioxide emissions and require companies to pay for their credits or allowances. The money raised would be distributed to taxpayers, who likely would face higher utility bills as utilities pass along the added costs of curbing greenhouse gases.
ORLANDO (MCT) — Unpredictable winds caused problems Sunday for firefighters who are battling a brush fire in East Orange County, Fla. The fire had grown from about 4 acres Saturday night to about 400 acres by Sunday evening. It was about 50 percent contained Sunday at 5:45 p.m., said Jim Eads, a duty officer with the Division of Forestry, the agency taking the lead battling the blaze. About 200 people had been evacuated from homes in the area as a precaution, said John Mulhall, a spokesman for Orange County Fire Rescue Department.

The Daily Tar Heel QUOTE OF THE DAY:
“I hope … you’ll feel like you’ve been kissed, and not like you’ve been poked in the eye.” Paul Ferguson, on the outcome of his ‘last lecture’
By Nate Beeler, The Washington Examiner
Featured online reader comment:
“DTH is not interested in free speech. … They make no mention of racist and sociopathic comments made by Tom Tancredo.”

Languages help fulfill UNC’s top missions
O
n a whim, the summer before freshman year, I decided to take German 101. I had taken French in high school, and had scored high enough on the AP exams to not have to take a language here. I picked German because I thought it sounded pretty. I eventuLANGUAGE COLUMNIST ally came up with a few better excuses: It’s a good research language. But really, I just took it because I felt like it and needed something to fill out my hours. I talked to a few other friends who did the same thing: just randomly picked up a new language in college, one that would not have the same amount of everyday use that say, Spanish would: Hebrew, Latin, Old Church Slavonic. Amazingly, the majority are not linguistics majors. But many of them expressed annoyance at the system. Not every level of a language is offered every semester. There are restrictions on who can take Chinese 101. Classes fill up, or are canceled: There are a total of 11 spots left in for Arabic 101 for all 3,000 of the bright and shining first-years. These annoyances could turn into frustration and aggravation with budget cuts and perhaps, decline in donations in the coming year or years. We all, I hope, breathed a sigh of relief when it was discovered that several romance language programs were not, as the DTH initially reported, going to be cut, only merged, and that no reductions in staff would take place. But changes are already happening in the North Carolina public school systems. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools proposed a cut of $343,905 for early language programs in Spanish and French. The program might seem frivolous — why waste time teaching kindergartners French when they could be learning their ABCs? — but give the kids a huge advantage. Learning languages early in life is incredibly easier than waiting until later. And the country will surely need an increase in bilinguals to help teach English to Spanish immigrants. And for all the right-wingers who are starting to shout that it should be the Spanish speakers learning English, not the other way around: consider the following. If a child has already mastered a “useful” language in elementary school, they will be free in high school and in college to tackle something a bit more obscure. Knowing, for example, Korean would be certainly highly useful to the military at this point in time. And there are other practical reasons: How many of you knew what a subjunctive was before taking French? Grammar knowledge is reinforced when you see how it works in other languages. And learning a romance language will help a child out on the SATs. But, more philosophically, taking a language program means living out the ideals that this University was built on, and still maintains: learning for the sake of learning and enriching one’s world view. Other schools, like Brown University, are losing this. But UNC continues to make every single person graduate from this school with some competency in a language other than English. These programs must be safeguarded, at all levels of learning, in these next few years. If lux and libertas become just funny looking words on a shield, how can we ever hope to practice them?

Serious conflict of interest Survey commissioned for Durham Board of County Commissioners had conflict of interest
J
ordan Lake is one of the primary water sources for our area. But a proposed commercial development is forcing the Durham Board of County Commissioners to reconsider the lake’s boundaries. The catch is that the new survey accepted by the commissioners was contracted by Neal Hunter, a minority stakeholder in the very company that wants to build the development. This is an explicit conflict of interest. The proposed development is within the boundaries of the Jordan Lake critical watershed area, and thus would normally be subject to heightened regulation. But Mr. Hunter’s survey would shrink the boundaries of the watershed — thereby placing the development “outside” the critical area. The Durham County commissioners have failed the
people by allowing a watershed area to be redefined by someone who has a direct financial stake in the outcome. Even if Mr. Hunter’s survey was done perfectly, the conflict of interest alone should invalidate it for county use. For this reason, the Durham County commissioners owe area residents an impartial survey done by a third party. If they don’t choose to conduct another survey, they must default back to the original watershed boundaries. Either way, Mr. Hunter’s survey should not stand. And even if the Durham County commissioners want to accept the tainted survey, that doesn’t give them the right to make a unilateral decision that affects other counties. Jordan Lake barely protrudes into Durham County. Mos t of it lies within Chatham County, and Chatham County residents are the ones
who will feel the effects of a polluted watershed. Jordan Lake is already on the Environmental Protection Agency’s list of impaired waters, which means that the lake already has chemical imbalances. A new development would only make it worse. At least the Durham County commissioners have done one thing right. They opened up the process to public hearings. Fiftyone people signed up to speak at the hearing last Monday. But that’s not enough. It is crucial that as many citizens as possible attend these hearings. Up to this point, the conflict has been a largely political one between developers, county commissioners and interest groups. But this is our lake. It’s about time for the public to assert itself and stop this new survey and consider the negative effects on the watershed — before it’s too late.
Bring graduates to honor
T
Graduate student Honor Code violators should be heard by the Honor Court, not their professors
he graduate student government is right to make dealing with Honor Code violations through the honor system a top priority. The Graduate and Professional Student Federation is currently attempting to get more Honor Code violations — which include plagiarism and cheating on tests — reported to the graduate student attorney general. Right now, many graduate student violations are dealt with by individual professors and not officially reported. This is a problem. Faculty are required in the Honor Code to report violations to either the undergraduate or graduate student attor-
ney general. By circumventing the system, professors are not giving accused graduate students a fair chance to prove their innocence. And for guilty students, a professor-implemented censure does not carry the legitimacy of a censure that has gone through the honor system. The honor system is part of our unique tradition of selfgovernance at UNC. But self-governance only works if the people involved abide by the set rules. When people — faculty or students — circumvent the system, the system cannot function. No doubt, many professors find the honor system ineffi-
cient. Reported violations can take a long time to sort out. But the honor system does not exist for convenience. Professor-implemented censures have no systematic method. They are arbitrary, even if they are well-intentioned. And a professor who knows students personally has no way to remove his or her bias from the situation. The federation’s decision to encourage professors to report Honor Code violations is a decision to reinstate impartial judgments for graduate students. Sending violations through honor system will protect innocent students and ensure that guilty students are properly dealt with.
Allow credit for parking
M
N.C. Senate should allow parking meters to accept credit cards
any people don’ t carry cash anymore — especially students. State lawmakers should recognize this simple fact of life as they consider a bill that would permit parking meters to accept credit cards. The bill cleared the N.C. House in a unanimous vote Tuesday and is now in the Senate. The idea makes practical sense. Students, residents and visitors to the town will no longer be forced to scramble under their car seats in search
of quarters just to park their cars. With these meters, drivers will simply swipe their credit cards to pay for parking. Additionally, drivers might see a decline in parking tickets if paying for parking becomes easier. If students merely have to swipe a card to pay for their parking, they might be less inclined to avoid paying for parking — increasing revenue for the town. Chapel Hill should also consider creating a system in which students could pay for
parking through their One Card expense accounts, though no mention of such plan has been made. But first, the bill must be passed. Most students don’t even remember an age without plastic as a form of payment. This bill takes these new cultural norms into account and provides the means for cities to establish a service that better caters towards its citizens. The N.C. Senate should recognize this as a need, just as the N.C. House did.
TO THE EDITOR: I thank The Daily Tar Heel for writing an article on local road safety. (“No changes on road stretch,” April 15) I hope they will continue to explore this topic. I do wish to correct one impression attributed to me in this story about pedestrian activity on N.C. 54. I was apparently misunderstood to say that most pedestrians do not cross N.C. 54 in nondesignated areas. I meant to say that few pedestrians seem to be walking in the particular area where Gloria Espinosa Balderas was struck. Since there are few “designated areas” for pedestrians to cross along much of the N.C. 54 corridor, pedestrians accessing transit stops and housing on opposite sites of the highway must cross at undesignated areas, as others in the article indicated. I had added that pedestrians can be found virtually anywhere in our area, including many locations where motorists may not expect them (because the environment may not look like a place where pedestrians would be walking with a lack of lighting, lack of sidewalks, etc.). To expand on the article, engineering treatments such as signs, signals, and lighting can offer safety improvement at busier pedestrian areas such as near the transit stops. But considering that pedestrians may cross at any point along any road on the network, area-wide improvements may be needed. Such improvements will take both time and money, and there may be trade-offs with other community desires. Drivers also have it at their disposal to improve safety by being attentive to the driving environment at all times, and obeying speed limits so they have time to react to pedestrians and/or bicyclists who may be in both expected and unexpected places at expected and unexpected times. And pedestrians can protect themselves by being “conspicuous” day or night; that is, carry a light and wear retroreflective materials when walking during dark hours. Pedestrians should also be aware that it may be difficult to estimate the speed and distance of vehicles at night and act accordingly.

Tancredo’s views on illegal immigrants more common TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to provide my view of former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo’s (R-Colo.) campus visit since my name appears in last week’s (Raleigh) News & Observer account of the incident (“Protest stops Tancredo’s UNC speech,” April 19). Before Tancredo’s visit, there was vigorous discussion of how

to respond. Having expertise on Latina/os in North Carolina, the topic under consideration, I reflected on the best response to someone who employs extremely inflammatory rhetoric. One student group circulated a petition that wrestled with this issue. I did not support the petition denying Tancredo’s opportunity to speak, and I went to the talk in order to ask him hard questions afterwards. In my own deliberations, I decided that handing out educational literature on Tancredo’s views would be the most effective protest. I also advised some pro-immigrant students to create literature to rebut Tancredo. I believe police over-reacted in spraying peaceful student protestors with pepper spray and threatening them with tasers. This police action escalated the tension inside the classroom. I hope you watch the videos and consider my point of view. It was indeed unfortunate that a pane of glass was broken. Tancredo left the room immediately and the police closed down the event. Thank you for considering my perspective. I welcome further discussion of North Carolina’ss educational policies toward immigrants. Altha Cravey Associate Professor Geography Editor’s note: This was originally submitted as an open letter to Chancellor Holden Thorp.
Tancredo should be invited back, students expelled TO THE EDITOR: The failure of University officials to restore order and allow former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo’s (R-Colo.) to proceed with his speech is a disgrace to anyone who cares about the constitution of the United States, and to every tax paying citizen of this state. Violent protests denying people the right to assemble peacefully, and the right to freedom of speech are right out of the playbook of Adolph Hitler, Chairman Mao, etc., etc. ad nauseum. The administration of UNCChapel Hill should never bow to these ill-disgusied, “know-it-all” thugs. Mr. Tancredo’s speech should have been heard if it took until 2 a.m. to restore order and proceed. If UNC-system president Erskine Bowles and UNCChapel Hill Chancellor Holden T h o r p d o n o t i n v i t e Mr. Tancredo back to Chapel Hill at his earliest convenience, they will be complicit in this crime against all who love freedom and the University. And the perpetrators of this violent protest should be expelled from UNC after a fair hearing. They have a right to pursue an education as they please, but not at UNC, where all who attend are supported by the taxpayers of this state. Sam L. Howe UNC ‘68

Agencies to receive less money than requested; Some programs lose all county funding
from page 3
By Matthew Lynley Assistant City Editor
County Manager Laura Blackmon gave her recommendation Thursday for the amount of money some agencies in the county should be allocated based on the 2009-10 fiscal year budget. Only a few organizations will receive the amount of money they asked for, and many might receive about 15 percent less than what they got last year. Some agencies will also have to go without county funding in the next fiscal year.

She started out collecting parking tickets, but soon switched to records, where she sits behind the glass to greet visitors and handle paperwork like police reports. “In many ways, she’s the face of the department,” said Gregg Jarvies, who was with the department for 32 years and police chief from 2001 to 2007. The workplace, Parrish said, is so close-knit that she knows “everybody’s husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend and children.” In fact, she met her husband, a former police dispatcher, at work. “I didn’t like him at first,” she said. “He thinks it’s funny. I would tell people, ‘I really don’t like him!’” They began dating in November of 1973, a few months after he took the job. In June, they married, and have been together for almost 35 years. And although her job’s changed — she does her work on the computer instead of by hand, for example — her coworkers remain close. “I still feel like the police department is my great big extended family,” she said. One autumn, she had to have surgery for a tumor behind her right eye. Her coworkers called often, brought her food and even cooked her Thanksgiving dinner. Three years ago, Parrish received the Herman Stone Award, making her the first recipient in the depart-

in a time of need. “Because this is such an economic spur, they are going to have to hire new workers,” said Benedict, estimating job creation figures to be in the hundreds. The urgency of the recession is putting a premium on expediency, Perdue affirmed upon announcing the new transportation plans. “North Carolina is leading the nation in efforts to expedite the selection of projects and get them under way as quickly as possible to get our people to work,” she said in a press release. T he Federal Highway Administration estimates that every $1 million spent on transportation creates 30 new jobs, while the construction industry estimates a $6 return to the economy for every dollar invested in transportation projects. With the second phase Orange County projects totalling more than $8 million, this could equal new employment for hundreds of workers. Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

ment’s history who worked behind the scenes. “We couldn’t function without them,” Jarvies said. Jarvies called her family ahead of time and had them attend the ceremony as a surprise. When she received the award, all her coworkers gave her a tremendous ovation. It was, she said, her happiest day on the job. When she’s at home, Parrish relaxes by listening to ’50s and ’60s music with her husband and crafting. She picked crafts up from her father, who made clocks and lamps from old athletes’ helmets. These days, she paints, woodworks, crochets and knits. She’s made a wooden witch for her yard and sewed her own wedding dress. She also decorates cakes. Every year, her daughters Angela and Debra have had a homemade cake, and she often bakes for friends. For one of her friend’s daughter’s who liked to go skating, she made a cake shaped like a roller skate. People have told Parrish she could retire and become a fulltime artist, but she said she’s happy making the most of her time at the station. She doesn’t plan to retire for a few more years. “I’ve learned that the best thing to do is take it one day at a time and don’t take anything for granted.”

Sophomore attackman Billy Bitter and junior Gavin Petracca helped pace a 13-8 Tar Heel victory Saturday night at Hofstra. Bitter chipped in four goals while Petracca put in three as No. 10 North Carolina posted ten wins before the postseason for the sixth time since 1949.

WOMEN’S GOLF UNC shot the tournament’s second lowest round Sunday, and it was enough to place the Tar Heels second in the ACC Championship. They put together a three-over-par final round, which gave them a 41-over-par team total of 893. Two freshman led North Carolina. Catherine O’Donnell finished in a tie for seventh place, while Allie White finished in ninth.
MEN’S GOLF North Carolina scored a four-overpar 868 team total to tie for seventh place at the ACC Championship. They lost by 22 strokes to the champions from Georgia Tech. In individual rankings, three Tar Heels tied for 15th place. Junior Chase MacFarland, senior Robert Riesen and sophomore Kevin O’Connell all totaled scores of 217.

“I changed my approach a little bit now, hitting at the bottom of the order,” Michael said Sunday. “I’ve been patient, trying to draw walks, hit by pitches, and then obviously when I get a ball over the plate I just try to hit it somewhere.” Though Michael didn’t score during the rest of the series, he left only one Tar Heel on base in Saturday’s matchup. He stopped taking as many swings, as well — his only strikeout in the last two games came looking. “When he got in a funk a little bit, as it happens, you start swinging at bad pitches. You try too hard,” Fox said. “So I think more than anything else he calmed down in the batter’s box and concentrated a little harder, looked at the ball a little better.” Third baseman Kyle Seager said Michael’s play at the bottom of the order could prove crucial for UNC.
using its play against Virginia, even in defeat, as motivation. “We’ve just got to look at the ACC Tournament and look at how we’ve grown as a team and use that as confidence to practice as hard as we can,” Crone said. “We’ve played close with the No. 1 team in the nation. That gives you some confidence.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. “I mean, he’s capable of going off at any time. He’s such a good hitter,” he said. “Just having him at the bottom of the order will let him relax a little bit and maybe see a few more fastballs.” Michael graduated from North Davidson High School in January to join the Tar Heels this spring. He’s started all of UNC’s 41 games at second baseman, playing most in the top third of the lineup, but he’s still getting used to the demands of college ball. “It’s been a tough transition, but it’s been fun,” he said. “In high school, I played shortstop, so I’ve been learning to play second base a little bit. It’s given me some struggles, but I feel like I’ve kind of settled in a little bit and figured some things out, and I’m doing all right right now.”

the result was Taylor — the junior attacker. With close to 20 minutes remaining in the first, Taylor got clobbered while trying to get off a shot. On the ensuing penalty play, she stepped forward and threw in a rocket to make the score 4-2. Her play gave the Tar Heels a two-goal cushion and a momentum boost of sorts. But it still wasn’t her best result of the weekend. That came on Friday with the clock running down, with a proDuke crowd in hysteria and four minutes remaining. No. 4 UNC had a one-goal lead and possession around the Blue Devils’ goal. The North Carolina players in the attacking zone were essentially playing keep-away. But when Taylor received a pass in the penalty arc, the daylight in front of her was too much to cast

aside. “I knew it was key to have possession of the ball at the time,” Taylor said. “If we were going to take shots, we had to finish on our shots. “I was confident to take that shot.” Her throw went right beside the outstretched arms of a Duke defender, giving UNC the game’s dagger. When the final whistle shrilled, the North Carolina team stormed the field. For a rivalry game that saw four yellow cards, two lead changes and a hard foul that pushed Russell’s teeth through her lip, the team’s exuberance was evident. “I think that was the single game that we’ve had the most energy,” said Russell, who had two goals against Duke. “Everyone was so excited.”
“We think we’ve got a pretty full, complete team,” said third baseman Kyle Seager, who added six hits in the series. “So anytime our pitching throws the ball like they’ve been throwing, our offense just needs to be good enough to bring across a few runs, and they’ll take care of it.” UNC has now won four straight series against Miami, including nine of the last 10 games. They also became the first ACC team to reach 30 wins this season. And with the sweep, they came away from a weekend feeling like they made a statement. “Coming into the game, we knew we had a lot on the line,” Seager said. “Any time you can sweep, especially a team as good as they are, that’s great.”

Tar Heels sweep Miami in third straight top-20 series By mike ehrlich Senior writer
North Carolina knew it had missed some opportunities this season. The Tar Heels weren’t about to let it happen again. After taking the first two games against Miami, No. 4 UNC clamped down and earned its first three-game series sweep in the ACC this season, with a 4-1 victory in the Sunday finale. “We’ve let a couple slip away from us on the road, and we felt like it was a way for us to maybe get one of those back,” UNC coach Mike Fox said. “You don’t really count on sweeps in this league. It’s a way to sneak back a game and get ahead in your division.” After a couple tough losses in series against Georgia Tech and Florida State, UNC (31-10, 13-7 ACC) finally capitalized on three top-notch outings by the weekend starters. In the 28 innings played this weekend (including 10 Saturday), UNC only surrendered a run in

finished it off by allowing one run in seven strong innings Sunday. “Our much-maligned pitching staff maybe got a little boost, because we really pitched well this weekend,” Fox said. Though UNC’s bats didn’t light up the scoreboard, the hits came at the right times. No one was more timely than catcher Mark Fleury, who brought home the game-winning run with a walk-off single in the 10th inning Saturday. “I looked at coach Fox, and I said, ‘Let me win this. Let me win this,’” Fleury said. “I like being in moments like this, I like having the spotlight, and I like driving in game-winning runs.” Fleury also scored the tying run after hustling around the basepaths on his second career triple. Dustin Ackley notched his 13th career game with at least four hits, with a 4-for-4 line Sunday. Ryan Graepel also added his second career home run, a solo shot to left-center.
three of them. First, there was an absolute gem by junior Alex White. He pitched a complete game one-hitter to shut out the No. 9 Hurricanes (26-13, 11-10 ACC). White struck out 10 in the contest and faced just one batter more than the minimum. “Every time I put up a zero on the scoreboard, I go back in the dugout and just concentrate on putting the next one up,” White said. “When you can put up nine, it’s been a good night.” After giving up three runs in the first inning Saturday, senior Adam Warren buckled down and tossed five more scoreless frames. Then sophomore Matt Harvey See baseball, Page 9
Michael steps up in final two By Rachel Ullrich Sports Editor

North Carolina freshman Levi Michael struggled Friday against Miami but had three hits with three RBI in the series’ next two games.
Levi Michael couldn’t really say what it was that led to his three strikeouts in Friday’s matchup against Miami. He wasn’t sure if it was the fastball of Hurricanes’ lefty Chris Hernandez. Or if it was the added pressure from the combined 5-for-7 performance of Dustin Ackley and Kyle Seager ahead of him in the lineup. But whatever “it” was, it was gone by Saturday. “I just tried to focus a little harder, stop swinging at bad pitches and wait for my pitch and then don’t try to do too much with it — just hit the ball back up the middle,” Michael said after Sunday’s 2-for-2 showing with an RBI and two walks. Michael got to base on seven of his eight chances in the series’ final two games, including three hits with three RBI.
That performance normally wouldn’t be surprising from Michael, a freshman who joined the Tar Heels a semester early, and, until recently, led the ACC in RBI. But after striking out three times and only reaching base after getting hit by a pitch Friday, Michael was moved from the five-spot to the bottom of the lineup. “We hit him ninth just because we’ve got to take the pressure off of him,” coach Mike Fox said. “Get him out of situations where he feels like he has to do too much.” Michael was up with players on base in every one of his at-bats Friday, and he stranded six of UNC’s eight batters left on base. Things looked better by the fourth inning Saturday, when Michael’s single sent home Garrett Gore and Brett Thomas — giving the Tar Heels the tying run.

Devils, Cardinal downed by UNC By Chris Hempson Assistant Sports Editor
DURHAM — The game was North Carolina’s for the taking. The Tar Heels had raced to a 2-0 lead, had point-blank chance after point-blank chance and even rebounded from a halftime deficit to go up two late. But now there was Duke’s Lindsay Gilbride dashing into the penalty arc and throwing a bouncing shot by UNC’s goalkeeper Logan Ripley to tie Friday’s contest in Durham at seven apiece. With just fewer than nine minutes remaining, the momentum and, ultimately, the result seemed destined to go to the No. 5 Blue

Devils (11-4, 3-2 ACC). But UNC coach Jenny Levy felt otherwise as she called for a timeout. “I told them, ‘This isn’t going to be easy. We’re going to win this game, and I don’t have any doubts about that,’” she said Sunday. “‘We’re going to have to fight and work for it, and you’re going to have to earn it.’” Two minutes later, junior captain Megan Bosica did just that —

The Tar Heels would tally one more goal late, giving them a hardfought 9-7 victory. On Sunday, another hot start propelled North Carolina against Stanford (10-4). But unlike in the Duke game, a sluggish outing by the Tar Heels kept the game close throughout as they won 13-10. “I think Friday took some out of us,” Levy said. “I thought we were a step slow all day today. I was happy that we gutted it out.” It sure didn’t seem that way to
start the game. Three different Tar Heels scored in the first six minutes — including Kristen Taylor, who finished with a game-high five goals — to give UNC a 3-0 lead. But time and again, Stanford responded. Every time North Carolina (133, 4-1 ACC) lengthened its lead to two or three, the No. 15 Cardinals seemed to find goals off free shots inside the arc. “Today, we knew we were going to be a little bit tired,” junior Jenn Russell said. “We battled through that.

UNC’s ACC streak ends to Duke in semis

CARY — On paper, the North Carolina men’s tennis team’s 4-0 loss to No. 1 Virgina in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament on Friday appears no different from its 7-0 loss to the Cavaliers just 12 days earlier. But UNC isn’t exactly down after losing to an undefeated team in a match that might have been closer than the score indicates. “You’ve got to give Virginia credit,” coach Sam Paul said. “But we have a lot of confidence in our team.” That is because after the Tar Heels lost the doubles point, No. 1 Taylor Fogleman and No. 2 Clay Donato were able to jump out to win their first sets. Though neither finished his match as the Cavaliers were able to dispose of UNC quickly, it did give the Tar Heels some hope in an attempt to rally and gain further momentum. They hope to carry that feeling through the rest of the postseason, if they earn their 10th consecutive NCAA Tournament bid. And the team remains confident

in its abilities despite its early exit from the ACC Tournament. “It’s not like we were really far away,” Paul said. “We’ve just got to keep working.” Doubles play will certainly continue to be a point of emphasis, as it hurt the team again against Virginia. The Tar Heels have lost the doubles point in nine of their 10 losses this season. Yet Paul said the team will simply continue to do the drills it has been doing in hopes of continuing the steady improvement it has experienced this season. Paul said the young team has come a long way since its first loss to VCU, and Andrew Crone said the fight it put up against Virginia is a testament to its growth. Crone — who lost in straight sets in the teams’ regular season matchup — and Brennan Boyajian both lost close first sets by scores of 6-7 (6-8) and 4-6, respectively. Boyajian has improved his play
