hen a Detroit woman saw a group of men trying to break into her neighbor’s house on Wednesday, one of them shot at her. Luckily, the bullet struck the underwire of her bra. Police say the hardware saved her from a potentially more harmful injury. “It did slow the bullet down,” said Detroit police spokesman Phillip Cook. “She sustained injuries but they’re not life threatening.” The men drove away.

CAMPUS PROTESTS CAUSE BIG FREE SPEECH STIR

3

UNC forced to make big cuts More likely to come next year By Andrew Harrell Staff WRITER

dth File/lisa Pepin

University police officers escort Mike Cassidy out of the Union Auditorium. Cassidy was arrested and charge with disorderly conduct, a University police officer said. Cassidy was one of six individuals arrested for protesting against former U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode on Wednesday night. Goode spoke about immigration and affirmitive action policies.

Protests in April drew fire for stifling right-wing viewpoints By Andrew Dunn University Editor

Student protests at UNC drew two major reactions from administrators this year — both a call to regulate them and a condemnation of what officials viewed as stifling free speech. A new student group, Youth for Western Civilization, hosted two former congressmen with right-wing views — both of whom were strongly protested. University administrators came down strongly against both protests. Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo’s, R.-Colo., visit to campus on April 14 ended with pepper spray, a broken window and the speech being canceled. Nobody was arrested for that protest, but six were arrested the next week at another event sponsored by the same organization. On April 22, YWC brought former U.S. Rep. Virgil Goode to speak. Six protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct, though police reported no violence or vandalism. Goode is an outspoken critic of affirmative action, and Tancredo, a former presidential candidate, a critic of immigration. In both cases, multiple student groups protested the speeches, many choosing to do so nonviolently. About 150 people gathered in the Bingham Hall auditorium to hear Tancredo, and more gathered in the hallway after police declared the room full and blocked the doorway. Two protestors held a sign in front of Tancredo to keep him from speaking. They were escorted into the hallway by police where a Taser was discharged and pepper spray was used. Police said neither were targeted at a specific person. Tancredo canceled his speech. At Goode’s speech, some audience members heckled and jeered him, set off personal body alarms and unfurled profane banners. Chancellor Holden Thorp denounced the protesters’ actions at both speeches as counter to the University’s ideals.

“We expect protests about controversial subjects at Carolina. That’s part of our culture,” said Thorp said in an e-mail to students and faculty after Tancredo’s visit. “But we also pride ourselves on being a place where all points of view can be expressed and heard.” Student government and several student groups, including The Daily Tar Heel, also held an event after the Tancredo protest to affirm the value of letting multiple viewpoints be heard on campus. Protesting has been a growing issue on campus. This fall student government leaders and administrators decided to create a policy for dealing with protesters after a multiple-week sit-in last April. Members of Student Action with Workers spent two weeks in South Building protesting former Chancellor James Moeser’s decision not to sign the Designated Suppliers Program, which would require 75 percent of UNC’s apparel to come from factories paying living wages. The new policy, finalized in February, restricts sit-ins to normal business hours and prohibits signs and food. If the rules are broken, protesters may be arrested. The policy was developed after months of discussion with the chancellor’s advisory committee. Members Matt Garza and Corey Cusimano presented a set of possible guidelines to Thorp on Oct. 29. The report contained a recommendation that administrators consult vice chancellors and Department of Public Safety officials in deciding whether to break up protests. Thorp said he hopes the rules will keep students safe without stifling free speech. Dalrymple said the committee had wanted input from the student body, but not every group was interested in the new policy. Laura Bickford, member of Student Action with Workers and Students for a Democratic Society, said at the time that she didn’t want to be involved with the design of the new policy. “The point of protest is to say what’s wrong,” she said, “By limiting how you protest is taking back power from students.”

“The point of protest is to say what’s wrong. Limiting how you protest is taking back power from students.”

As the fiscal year draws to a close, administrators are continuing to fortify the University against the effects of potential future budget cuts. The recent implementation of a spending freeze on campus has only accented the 7 percent cuts that have already been made this year. Administrators also have been asked to prepare plans for a 5 percent cut to next year’s budget. That number could change based on the budget that comes out of deliberations between Gov. Bev Perdue and the N.C. General Assembly this summer. “I would say based on what I’m hearing, it’s more likely to be more rather than less,” said Dick Mann, vice chancellor for finance and administration. The severity of the cuts will only be clear once the legislature passes a new budget for the next fiscal year. The spending freeze was initiated on April 9 and limits all school spending — with the exception of expenditures related to the classroom and public safety. The freeze will end upon the creation of a new state budget, projected for the end of the fiscal year on June 30. It will reflect the reduced resources available to the UNC system. If the budget is finished on time, a priority on campus this summer will be to play catch-up on projects halted by the spending freeze. Cuts have forced administrators to reach out to the campus community for ideas. A new Web site devoted to budget information includes an e-mail address for “creative cost-cutting suggestions.” The cuts that have already been made this year have resulted in at least 18 employees being laid off, as well as the elimination of vacant positions and suspension of searches for new faculty. Many deans have said their first goal in making cuts is to preserve their school’s ability to educate students. Layoffs have still been necessary in several departments. Mann said he hopes all needed cuts will be announced at once, rather than in increments like this year, because the lack of planning for additional reductions makes them more difficult to manage. Cuts made during the year will affect plans already made by faculty and administrators this summer. He added that state revenues sometimes lag behind economic downturns by a year or two, meaning that administrators should stay cautious and conservative with money for the next couple years. “You’ve got to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best,” Mann said.

N.C. unemployment spikes

County looking at early retirement

Seniors entering lousy job market

One way to ease budget shortfall

By Laura mArcinek

Assistant State & national editor

Unemployment reached record highs in the state during the past few months as the recession continues to take its toll on North Carolina. The economic climate has been frustrating for seniors who are trying to find jobs after they graduate, said Tim Stiles, associate director of University Career Services. “I think people get a better appreciation for how difficult it really is out there when they start looking,” he said. “I’m having to work with some students weekly to pump them up.” Unemployment hit 10.8 percent in March. A year ago, the unemployment rate was only 5.7 percent. North Carolina’s current rate is the fifth highest in the country. Because of this, Stiles said more graduating seniors are leaving North Carolina to find work elsewhere in the Southeast.

Stiles said there are some bright spots in the job market. The federal government, for example, is still hiring people. And computer science, pharmacy and education are still healthy job industries, he said. But investment banks and other parts of the financial sector are struggling to hire recent graduates. “The big ones are definitely on hold,” Stiles said, “and they’re the ones who hire big critical masses of college students.” Stiles and other counselors at University Career Services have encouraged students to look for alternatives and to get other work experience for one or two years before trying to land their ideal job. Jeni Margules, a senior biology major, is going to Colorado in September to work for AmeriCorps, a nationwide service organization. “The point of the program is to experience poverty,” Margules said,

adding that she’ll be working in a family health clinic. She said she thinks the senior class is split into three different groups. One group has jobs, the second group is going to graduate school and the third group is still looking. “It’s been nerve-wracking for everyone, but I think everyone’s settled in to what they want to do,” she said. Stiles said he wants seniors to know that University Career Services is available for them free of charge up to six months after graduation. “We want to equip them with some skills and build momentum,” he said. “A full-time search can be frustrating.” The reality of the job market’s condition is setting in for many seniors, Stiles said. “It’s nice to have someone to pump you up,” Stiles said. “Our fulfillment comes from helping other people.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

Orange County is facing an $8.7 million budget shortfall, and employees might be offered retirement incentives as part of a plan to fill that void. County staff presented April 16 to the Board of County Commissioners a list of positions filled by employees age 50 and older who are eligible for retirement. Twenty-six employees will be eligible for full retirement benefits, and 78 employees could receive reduced retirement. If employees in these positions retire, it could save money, said Orange County Manager Laura Blackmon, because many sit at the top of the pay range. Blackmon said new hires with less time on the job would begin with lower salaries. If employees retire, noncritical positions likely will remain vacant for some time. A rash of retirements is not likely but could be problem-

atic for the county, Blackmon said. Commissioner Alice Gordon said while the county won’t soon be hiring a lot of people, key employees will be replaced if necessary. The county instituted a three-month freeze on new hires last July. Blackmon cited emergency services personnel and social services employees with large caseloads as examples of critical employees. If such employees are not replaced, their workloads fall to others. Commissioners are working with Blackmon to determine specifics of any incentives package for retirement, said Commissioner Mike Nelson. Older employees close to meeting eligibility for full benefits likely won’t take a package, Blackmon said. Employees not yet eligible for full benefits but who could work toward them elsewhere might be more receptive, she said. All county departments have been asked to prepare to cut budgets by 10 percent to account for reductions in revenue. This could include, among other cuts, fewer operating hours at the county’s senior centers.

“This is my home,” Henry Maiden, a senior who volunteers at the Seymour Center, said in March. “I’m so far below the poverty line. I came here because I didn’t know what to do.” The county manager recommended 31 nonprofits receive less money next year. KidSCope, a nonprofit that helps young children with developmental difficulties, could see a $13,350 funding cut. Director Linda Foxworth said in April she has been looking to hire a Spanish-speaking therapist for two years but will not if funding to the program is cut. Blackmon said the county also is looking at across-the-board pay cuts and furloughs, though likely not both at once. Savings also could come from requiring employees to contribute to health insurance and reduce training and travel. Blackmon will present her budget recommendations to commissioners May 12. After May work sessions, commissioners will vote on the county’s budget June 16. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Carson case moving toward trial Fraley’s death still Prosecutor seeking death penalty By Max Rose City Editor

Orange County prosecutor Jim Woodall says he has received mixed responses since announcing he would seek the death penalty against one of the men charged with killing former Student Body President Eve Carson. Carson’s parents told Woodall that they do not support the death penalty. But Woodall says that the evidence against Demario James Atwater, 22, was the most important factor in his decision to pursue the death penalty. “Everybody thinks that because we are in Orange County that people would be overwhelmingly opposed to that decision, but that isn’t the case,” Woodall said. Prosecutors say Atwater and Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 18, kidnapped Carson from her Friendly Lane home before forcing her to withdraw money from an ATM and shooting her early March 5, 2008, in a neighborhood off of East

Franklin Street. Federal prosecutors, who also indicted Atwater for federal charges stemming from the incident, announced in January that they would also seek the death penalty, marking the first death penalty case in the area’s federal prosecutor’s office in years. This is the first homicide case that Woodall has prosecuted which is being tried at both the federal and state level. In North Carolina, there were 2,748 murders between 2003 and 2007.

Atlas Fraley, 17, died Aug. 12 after an Orange County paramedic responded to his complaints of muscle cramps and dehydration following a football scrimmage. James Griffin, a paramedic who resigned 15 days after Fraley’s death, told him to hydrate and work out his cramps. Fraley was surrounded by bottles of water and Gatorade when he was discovered by his parents on the household floor when they returned home that night, according to reports. Griffin was the only paramedic who responded to Fraley’s call, a decision which another N.C. county official says he would not have made. “When we respond, we always

Fraley also signed his own release, despite his status as a minor under the law. Officials in other counties say their protocol directs them to remain with the patient until a guardian is contacted or to transport the patient directly to a hospital. “I think a lot of civilians don’t trust county EMS now,” an Orange County paramedic told The Daily Tar Heel for an April 16 article. A March 17 autopsy conducted by Dr. John Butts, the chief medical examiner of North Carolina, listed the cause of death as undetermined. Butts said his local office conducts about 1,500 autopsies per year. He speculates that no more than 2 percent of those cases are left with undetermined causes of death. He also said that many other cases are perhaps wrongly assigned causes of death. “Sometimes they’ ll assign a cause of death because they don’t want to put undetermined,” Butts said. He said pathologists may choose to list a cause of death as undetermined if there is not enough evidence to support an attribution of death to a minor cause. Griffin’s credentials are up for review in a state Emergency Services disciplinary committee. After the May closed meeting, the committee members will make a recommendation to the state EMS office of any action which should be taken against Griffin. County officials also conducted an investigation into Griffin’s actions but are not releasing the results due to personnel privacy laws. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is also expecting to release a report by a local law firm concerning Fraley’s death. Stephanie Knott, spokeswoman for the school system, said she expects to hear from the firm soon. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

UNC students stump for 1st black president By tarini parti Staff Writer

From the presidential elections to his NCAA Tournament bracket, UNC students’ efforts helped President Barack Obama secure two very different wins this year. And the enthusiasm among students continues even after the president’s first three months in office. Justin Rosenthal, co-president of the UNC Young Democrats, said the organization remains optimistic about Obama’s agenda. “Most students on campus understand that his job is going to be long-term,� he said. “Although we fought so hard to get him in office, it’s going to take some time to see some action.� Rosenthal said the Young Democrats have stayed politically active even after the elections. They have lobbied at the N.C. General Assembly, and are in process of releasing a progressive publication called “The Blue Print.� U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C., said in an interview that the president knows that he is going to have to take bold steps to sell his plans to the public and continue gaining their support. “I feel that Obama will have a warm spot for North Carolina,� Price said. “He knows the state

Price and other Obama supporters consider the stimulus package to be the president’s biggest achievement. “ Pr e s i d e n t s d o n’ t u s u a l l y achieve that in the first two months of their presidency,� said Isaac Unah, political science professor at UNC. A poll done by Public Policy Polling shows that 54 percent of the people in the state approve of Obama’s efforts so far. But some on campus are not convinced of his plans.

This year the association has tried to cut some costs in hopes of being better stewards of student money. Doucette said that this year ASG has spent a lot of money on travel in an attempt to increase attendance, especially from smaller schools that don’t have big enough budgets to allow for ASG travel. ASG officers have also traveled extensively to the individual campuses to make connections and establish relationships with other student government members. Next year they won’t be able to do so on the association’s dime as often. In addition, technology upgrades, like new computers for the office, will be put on hold. Members are also using the Internet more in order to cut back on paper and toner waste that results from printing multiple schedules and budgets. Doucette said this trend will continue into next year. Next year the association will try to focus on increasing financial transparency in the organization. “We’re not done with rebuilding. That probably needs to take another year to be done,� Doucette said. He said there should be a bigger effort to make general students more aware of the association’s presence. Doing so would allow the association to get a good deal of feedback from the students on what projects and initiatives they would like to see. “I think the big focus for next year that hasn’t been done this year is outreach and getting back in touch with the students.�

“Most students on campus understand that his job is going to be long-term. Although we fought so hard to get him into office, it’s going to take some time to see some action.�

Statewide student group progressing By Olivia Bowler Senior Writer

A statewide student association is wrapping up a year of rebuilding and is headed into next year under the same leadership. The UNC-system Association of Student Governments, which brings together the leadership from each system school, held its last meeting of the year this weekend. “ASG this year has been a lot of rebuilding,� said Greg Doucette, this year’s president of the association, who ran unopposed for a second term. The organization has had issues in the past with legitimacy, corruption and general inefficiency. Doucette said he believes this year members have been successful in regaining some of the lost standing from before, but there is still plenty more to work on for the 2009-2010 year. The association has managed to get back on its feet largely through increased participation and attendance at the meetings, which is helping to increase productivity and collaboration efforts. But more people means more money spent on travel and hotel rooms, Doucette said. “Essentially, we have to figure out how to maintain the numerical involvement while at the same time figuring out how to save money.� Doucette said the economic downturn has also brought political pressure over the ASG’s budget — the association uses a $1 fee from each student in the UNC system to fund its projects. “The budget has impacted ASG by really forcing us to think smarter,� Doucette said. Jason Smith, the association’s chief financial officer, echoed that sentiment. “It’s not a horrible thing that we have to reexamine every expenditure that is being made,� he said. “I feel like we put together a pretty lean budget.� Past leaders in the association

UNC waiting on state budget Schools struggle Process will finalize during summer By Brian Austin State & National Editor

The state budget process is now under way, and legislators are struggling to balance their funding priorities with a $2.2 billion projected budget shortfall. Appropriations committee members in the N.C. House of Representatives have begun constructing the House budget, though the third iteration of the budget probably won’t get to the full House until May. “The members are just now starting on the process of putting the budget together,” House Speaker Joe Hackney said. “All our members will have input into it, and we’re hoping to come

out with a good product.” The House version will likely incorporate updated forecasts after revenue from state income taxes, due April 15, is included. N.C. senators finished their version earlier this month, in a budget with significant differences from the one Gov. Bev Perdue introduced in March. Both plans for government revenues kept education relatively unharmed. “As we move North Carolina’s economy ahead, education is our highest priority,” said Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, D-Cumberland, More money went to the UNC system in the Senate’s version of

the budget than Perdue called for, and it made cuts to grade-school education. The difference reflects the slightly different approaches of the Senate and governor’s administration on education. “The Senate budget reflects a strategy of persisting in a high level of investment in higher education as a driving force of the economic development,” said Ferrel Guillory, director of UNC’s Program on Southern Politics, Media and Public Life. “The governor’s budget reflects another strategy … to prepare more North Carolina young people for higher education,” he said. Education is a priority and has been the one aspect of the budget this year to see continual increases, though Perdue’s bud-

get did cut the base allocation for the UNC system by 5.5 percent. The Senate budget cuts from the base continuation budget by only about 1.1 percent. Once the House passes a budget bill, the two houses will meet in conference committee to come up with a composite version of the budget scenario. From there, the budget goes to the governor for her signature or veto. After spending is set, most of the likely cuts will be implemented by the UNC-system Board of Governors on each of the 17 UNCsystem campuses. “We are operating at a time in which we have to cut budgets in order to make it match revenues,” Guillory said. “This shaping of the budget still has many twists and turns to come, and there are going to be some vigorous debates and some hard choices to come.”

to trim budgets By Mazare Rogers Staff Writer

Both local schools and governments in the next fiscal year will likely experience budget cuts, which will impact the amount of money allotted for key services. With reduced tax revenues, the county will have to find other means to fund programs. It is likely that students will have access to fewer programs and teachers will carry heavier workloads in Chapel Hill and Carrboro schools. Schools expect to receive less money from the county than they have in previous years. The Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board of Education proposed only those cuts that it hopes have a low impact on education. “It will be an across-the-board situation where most students will see some effects, but we are Contact the State & National trying to minimize the effects on Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. them,” said Lisa Stuckey, chair-

woman of the board. The board anticipates schools might have about $2.5 million less from the county and $1.5 million less from the state to cover costs for library services, after school, athletic programs, field trips and more. In a budget request the Board submitted to the county, a cut of up to $112,000 was proposed in funds allocated to textbooks and other supplemental materials. In another effort to help cover the potential shortages, teachers will likely teach larger classes. “Its tough to be in a situation where both resources and staff are being cut but hopefully this won’t last long,” Stuckey said. The county itself is dealing with an almost $8.7 million budget shortfall. County staff have requested that all departments reduce potential budgets by 10 percent. “We’re going to have to cut expenditures in services to lower levels than we have had to in the past,” said Donna Coffey, the county’s budget director. For the 2008-09 fiscal year, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools were allotted about $38 million of the county budget to cover expenses. The county is projecting a $187 per-pupil decrease for next year’s funding. Commissioners will meet with school board members Tuesday. The city school system’s budget for 2008-09 was about $129 million, which includes money from the local, state, and federal levels. But the board will have to wait until this summer to know how much funding schools will receive from state and local governments. “We are still not sure how we will use federal funds to plug these holes,” Stuckey said. The school budget will be finalized when Orange County commissioners release their own budget. More reductions may possibly be made before the county’s budget is adopted this summer. “The budget cuts are discouraging because we really have a great school district,” she said. “We will do the best we can.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Anti-abortion posters A UNC student group sponsored an anti-abortion demonstration in October that sparked heated responses. Carolina Students for Life was granted $5,000 in student fees from Student Congress in September to bring the exhibit to campus. The exhibit, which consisted of 18-foot panels with hard-tostomach images of dead human fetuses, dominated Polk Place for two days. The display towered over the central part of campus, but many students responded negatively. Despite the response, students remained civil with the demon-

strators, although many criticized Congress for funding the partisan display.

Dorm flooding

UNC alert policies By eliza kern Staff Writer

Both Winston and McIver residence halls experienced flooding and minor damage from fire sprinklers this year. Students playing football in McIver broke a sprinkler head in late November, causing flooding and water damage to the first and second floors. Two student rooms, a community director’s apartment and the second-floor hallways all received water damage. Plans were made to relocate students whose rooms were affected and for the student who threw the football to pay for the damages, said Rick Bradley, assistant director for housing. Water also flooded Winston Residence Hall March 20 after a student living on the fourth floor activated a sprinkler by removing an item that was hanging from the sprinkler head. The water caused damage and displaced students surrounding the fourth-floor room. Larry Hicks, director of housing and residential education, said the sprinklers emit 50 gallons of water a minute.

Dorms contain asbestos Six UNC residence halls were discovered to have materials in their walls that contain asbestos — a small, toxic fiber once used to insulate and fire-proof buildings. Inhaling high levels of asbestos can cause serious health problems. Even af ter a $22 million r e n o vat i o n t h at fi n i s h e d i n 2007, Morrison Residence Hall remained one of the six dormitories containing this dangerous substance. Hinton James, Avery, Parker, Morrison, Ehringhaus and Craige contain this asbestos within their cinder block walls. Most were built in the 1960s. Rick Bradley, assistant director for housing, said that it would take extreme action for the asbestos to become airborne. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

The University adopted a slightly more flexible approach to emergency notification protocol after what some UNC community members deemed an inadequate initial response to a February bomb threat. On Feb. 15, Orange County 911 received a call from a man claiming to have an explosive device and threatening detonation near the Pit. Department of Public Safety officers evacuated students at about 9 p.m. from the Student Union, Davis Library and the Undergraduate Library, but no official message was posted on the Alert Carolina Web site until just before 11 p.m. Later in the night, some students received Alert Carolina text messages. Official University policy at the time dictated that alarms should only be sounded and texts sent in the case of three specific situations. These situations included the presence of an armed individual, a hazardous materials incident or a tornado sighting. There was no policy for when to send out alerts otherwise. B u t t h e c o m m u n i t y g av e negative feedback about the University’s emergency response policy, and Chancellor Holden Thorp later said the University’s timing — it took about two hours to notify students — was not fast enough. In response to public outcry, the emergency warning committee, a group that formulates and evaluates UNC emergency protocol, adopted a resolution to establish two different emergency levels — one requiring the use of both sirens and text messages, the other limited to texts. Under the new protocol, the University sends a message to registered users whenever a scenario that endangers campus safety cannot be contained quickly. “I think really the implications of the bomb threat had more to do with a re-examination of the Alert Carolina system, and what info can be put out in lesser critical situations,” said Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Public

Safety. Public alarm was fur ther increased during the incident due to a computer glitch that prevented some who registered between Sept. 10 and Feb. 18 from receiving the Alert Carolina text messages sent out the night of the bomb threat. “Everything appeared to be working fine, but we discovered after the bomb threat a bunch of people calling saying that they didn’t get a text,” said Priscilla Alden in February. Alden is the assistant vice chancellor for Information Technology Services user support and engagement. Thorp and former Student Body President J.J. Raynor were among those who did not receive the texts because they had registered their phone numbers in the fall. Administrators corrected the glitch and tested the Alert Carolina sirens and texts Feb. 24 and experienced no problems. As of April 21, the Alert Carolina system had 25,622 cell phone numbers registered, a major increase from the approximately 5,000 numbers registered in January 2008.

Former Clef still an idol to his Chapel Hill fans By Rachel SCall Staff Writer

Anoop Desai sang his heart out. His fans called in enough votes to get him through to American Idol’s top seven contestants. “He’s overwhelmed and humbled by the response,” said Clef Hangers president Steve McQuaid. But after narrowly making it through three intense months, his run to the top of the popular reality talent contest ended April 22. The former UNC Clef Hanger and 2008 graduate, who is currently pursuing his masters degree in folklore at UNC, was ready for a long run on American Idol. The Chapel Hill community lined up to support him every step of the way. “My love for American Idol was born when a Clef Hanger got on it,” first-year Madison Phillips said at a viewing party at Players near the beginning of this season. American Idol was a bumpy ride for Desai. After making it to the top 36 competitors, he failed to earn enough votes to advance to

the next round of 12. But the judges saved Desai, offering him a wild card bid several weeks later. When they called Desai and fellow Idol contestant Matt Giraud to the stage, Desai’s fans in Chapel Hill and across the country crossed their fingers. Giraud’s name was called, and Desai remained on stage to be told he was going home. But judge Simon Cowell had a surprise — Desai was moving on and would round out American Idol’s first-ever top 13. Each week, students and community members did all they could to send Desai to the next round. Store owners hung posters that mimicked the now-iconic posters of President Barack Obama, featuring Desai’s image and the word “vote” in their shops. Students organized events in the Pit to encourage others to vote for “Anoop-Dogg.” An “Anoop Desai” Facebook profile page boasts more than 22,000 fans. Throughout the competition, Desai’s fan base did not vote enough to move him from round

to round without worries. Desai was among the bottom four contestants before narrowly making it into the top 11. He came back the following week with a strong performance of Willie Nelson’s “Always on my Mind.” “You managed to go from zero to hero,” Cowell told Desai after the performance. Two weeks later Desai found himself in the bottom three — a familiar spot for the singing Tar Heel in the following weeks. Some followers never lost faith and voted him through till the end. And even though he did not take home the show’s top prize, Desai’s Chapel Hill fans said they hope their hometown idol will continue his singing career. “He’s got a different sound than the rest of the contestants — he’s not going to get lost in the mix,” said former Clef Hanger Chris Melly. “I think he’s a standout.”

Heels win 19th NCAA title By Joe Mclean

assistant Sports Editor

DEC. 7, CARY — Forward Casey Nogueira had shown all season that she was one of the top players in the country. But Nogueira’s 23 goals in 27 games would be little consolation if her team scored none in the national championship game. So on her sport’s biggest stage, Nogueira proved her worth — twice. The first, a bullet of a free kick just after halftime, tied the game. The second, a hanging ball shot from a narrow angle, cruised just enough to get over Notre Dame goalkeeper Kelsey Lysander’s fingertips while dipping under the crossbar on its way into the back of the net. Those two goals by Nogueira — one with each foot — were enough to earn North Carolina a 2-1 victory against Notre Dame on Dec. 7 to secure UNC’s 19th NCAA championship and 20th national title. “On the greatest platform that we have, which is the championship final, she scored two of the most phenomenal goals I’ve ever seen,” coach Anson Dorrance said. Nogueira was honored with the Honda Sports Award as the best women’s soccer player in the country after the season. But despite Nogueira’s showcase, it was the Tar Heels (25-1-2) who were wide-eyed to start the final at WakeMed Soccer Park on a windy Sunday afternoon. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks put her team ahead only 16 seconds after the starting whistle when the Irish took the opening possession

UNC routs in championship game “I had a lot of fun, Tar Heels win fifth NCAA title and there’s no By David Ely Senior Writer

dth File

Junior Casey Nogueira scored two goals in the national championship game to rally the Tar Heels past Notre Dame for their 19th NCCA title. directly to the goal. “We were a little bit cold. We were caught flat-footed, and I think they took advantage of it,” goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris said. But Dorrance recruited a class full of attacking talent and the Tar Heels registered a very respectable 3.18 goals per game average, thanks to the arrival of strikers Courtney Jones, Jessica McDonald and a solid group of reserves. They came from behind and won in double overtime against Texas A&M in the third round, and they had to beat two undefeated teams in the College Cup to win it all. “It was the best competition I could have hoped for in a national championship,” Nogueira said.

The win gave Dorrance his 20th title in 30 years as head coach of the Tar Heels only a year after one of the team’s earliest exits from the NCAA Tournament ever. The veteran coach, asked what he would remember about this year’s squad, could speak only about the team’s remarkable chemistry. “The only way I could get the kids to shut up in the pregame is if I threatened to throw people out. This team has a wonderful kind of joyous anarchy,” Dorrance said. “I’m certainly not in control of it, but it was one of the most joyful seasons ever.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

APRIL 6, DETROIT — It started when they decided to come back. Four players declining the riches of the NBA, motivated to make one more run at history. One more run at a national title. And everything that happened this season — the expectations, the No. 1 rankings, the blowout wins — pointed toward this one moment. Suddenly, that moment became reality. Senior Mike Copeland wildly flung the ball into the air. Players jumped up and down amid a blizzard of confetti. Tyler Hansbrough hugged coach Roy Williams as explosions rang throughout Ford Field. In a truly dominant display, the North Carolina Tar Heels asserted themselves atop the college basketball world as national champions by defeating Big Ten regular season champion Michigan State, 89-72. The win gives UNC its fifth NCAA title and second in five seasons. “The first one was unbelievably sweet in 2005, and in some ways this is even sweeter,” Williams said after the game. “I’m so proud of this team. … “My hat’s off to … the guys in the locker room, because they took Roy Williams on one fantastic ride, and it’s something that I’ll never forget.” Right out of the gate, the Tar Heels (34-4) let MSU know that the Spartans wouldn’t dictate the game’s tempo as it did in past wins

better way to end it than the way we did.” Wayne Ellington, junior guard

against Louisville and UConn. Wayne Ellington’s hot shooting and Ty Lawson’s defensive pressure made certain that the Spartans’ demise came early. Ellington connected on his first three attempts from the field and finished 7-for-12 for 19 points. Ellington’s 19 points earned him the honor of Most Outstanding Player. “ T h e g a m e c a m e t o m e ,” Ellington said. “I just saw a pretty big basket in the first half.” Lawson was equally disruptive on the defensive end. He collected seven steals in the first period and harassed MSU guard Kalin Lucas to the point that there was little hope for the Spartans offensively. The duo was a Tar Heel one-two punch that KO’d Michigan State well before the halftime buzzer. Within 10 minutes, North Carolina’s lead swelled to 34-11. The 21-point halftime lead was the largest in title game history, and UNC’s 55 points in the first half were the most ever by a team in the title game. The Tar Heels returned to Chapel Hill to an adoring fan base and plenty of accolades, but soon enough, talk turned to next season. More specifically to whether UNC’s dynamic duo of Ellington and Lawson would stick around

Sure enough, three weeks later, both players announced they would enter the NBA Draft and forgo their senior years at UNC. With the departure of Ellington and Lawson, UNC loses six scholarship players from the 2008-09 team and its top four scorers. “It was a tough decision,” Ellington said. “I loved my time here at Carolina.

FOOTBALL from staff and wire reports

Butch Davis was brought to North Carolina to turn around a floundering football program. And in only two seasons, he’s done just that. After tallying a 4-8 record in 2007, Davis and the Tar Heels flip-flopped the results for an 8-4 record in year two. It was the first time North Carolina had won eight games in the regular season since 1997 and left UNC bowl-game-bound for the first time in four years.

MEN’S SOCCER The North Carolina men’s soccer team shouldn’t even have been playing in the NCAA championship game. That would mean the No. 13 seed had upset the No. 1 seed — a team with only one loss on the season. But there they were, the Tar Heels, lining up Sunday with everything to play for. Then it seemed over as soon as it started, and Maryland midfielder Graham Zusi’s goal in the 67th minute gave the Terrapins their second title in four years with a 1-0 win and ended North Carolina’s surprising run to the championship game.

BASEBALL It’s almost a routine right now. For the past three years, North Carolina has been on a flight to Omaha, Neb., for the College World Series. And each of the past three years, UNC came ever so close to winning. In 2008, UNC came up just short of the title series when their bats went cold and they mustered only one run in a 6-1 loss to Fresno State in the round’s last elimination game.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Led by senior Rashanda McCants, the Tar Heels finished fourth in the ACC and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels’ offense flourished behind Cetera DeGraffenreid’s fastpaced play at point, finishing second in the nation in scoring at 82.7 ppg. And with McCants off to the WNBA as the 15th pick, the team found next year’s leader in junior Jessica Breland.

MEN’S LACROSSE In their first season under Joe Breschi, the Tar Heels had a season to build on. Though they still didn’t win an ACC regular season game, their season did include victories against teams ranked at 14, 9, 17, 6, and 6 when UNC beat them.

VOLLEYBALL North Carolina rebounded from a rocky start to bring its season to a successful conclusion, winning 10 of its last 11 games en route to an ACC co-championship and NCAA tournament berth.

SOFTBALL Info: rcante@email.unc.edu

The North Carolina softball team (44-7) is looking to extend a 23-game win streak. The No. 13 Tar Heels have swept their last five series against conference foes to post a 15-2 record in ACC play, good for first place.

Careless parking Thorp thrown right into the thick of it and careful talk I By Sarah Rankin Staff writer

t’s been a helluva year. There was the time when a band of cousins rose up to cry “censorship” because I asked a columnist to make some edits to his column. There was the time when the person I beat in the contest for Daily Tar Heel editor-in-chief made a bet with another editor (I understand money changed hands) that involved one of them lifting up my dress at a holiday party, exposing my lace-clad derriere to a roomful of coworkers. And just last week someone put a note on my car parked in Cobb Deck that said, “Alli Nichols doesn’t know how to lead people or park straight.” (I maintain that I was very close to being kinda inside the lines.) What a year! Frankly, despite three previous years of DTH experience, I didn’t fully know what this job would require of me. I’m shy. I don’t like crowds, and I’m not a politician and I didn’t realize before it hit like a ton of bricks what it would mean to be a recognizable figure on campus. I still start when someone I don’t know greets me by name. But despite the list of onlyfunny-if-you’re-bound-and-determined-to-have-a-great-senseof-humor stories I’ve wracked up this year, it’s also been enriching, enlightening and incredible. What I wanted for the DTH, a large part of why I applied for this job, was to not only maintain but increase its influence as a starting point for dialogue on this campus. And I think it has been.

allison Nichols

outgoing editor-in-chief

Readers have spoken out — loudly, angrily — when we got facts wrong; when they disagree with an editorial, a column or another letter-writer; and about things that have nothing to do with coverage but just with campus life in general. They’ve engaged each other through letters to the editor and comments on the Web site. They’ve clamored for opportunities to write guest columns. They lined up around the block to get their one free copy of the National Championship edition. Some even started a blog, dailytarhole.com (I know it sounds like a really gross porn site, but it’s not … yet), dedicated almost entirely to making fun of DTH content. And every wisecrack, like every news tip and every articulate and well formed critique, is a reminder that The Daily Tar Heel is a vibrant nerve center for information and discussion on this campus. And I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Even though I’m done now, I hope this community I love so much grows to engage with the DTH even more next year. Thanks for letting me be part of this one.

In his first year on the job, Chancellor Holden Thorp has not only focused on large University goals, but has also addressed a host of unexpected issues, including a bomb threat and the recent controversial campus protests. Although some students have protested Thorp’s handling of these situations, many administrators and student leaders praised his accessibility, inclusivity and transparency in dealing with such issues. “We’ve all kind of developed a trust in him that although he may not agree with us, he’s willing to thoughtfully hear us out,” said Todd Dalrymple, former student body vice president. Thorp’s selection as chancellor last May was part of a nine-month national search that began in October 2007 after former Chancellor James Moeser announced that he would be stepping down the following June. The search drew 104 applicants. In his installation speech in October, Thorp outlined three main goals for the year: recruit top undergraduate and graduate students, attract talented faculty, and serve and elevate the region and state. Outgoing Faculty Chairman Joe Templeton said that he thinks Thorp’s North Carolina roots, youth, academic credentials and personal accomplishments have helped him achieve those goals. They also aid him in effective communication with students, faculty, administrators, legislators, business people and the Board of Trustees. “He is the person in the middle of all these groups, and he seems to be able to maintain the balance that is so important for successfully moving UNC-Chapel Hill forward,”

Templeton said. The communication tools Thorp has used this year include increasing the number of chancellor’s open houses, creating a chancellor’s blog and writing guest columns for The Daily Tar Heel. “In that way, students were able to warm up to him quickly and develop trust in a period where we don’t know what’s next for the University,” Dalrymple said. Much of this uncertainty has come from questions about the future of UNC’s budget and the possibility of layoffs. In March, Thorp instructed department heads to make cuts equivalent to a 5 percent recurring state budget reduction to coincide with the start of the new fiscal year. “From a budget perspective, he made a really difficult, but I think correct, decision to face the budget cuts head-on,” former Student Body President J.J. Raynor said. “I think that’s pretty courageous.” Thorp has said he refused to delay tough decisions that could ultimately prove costly for the University. But some faculty members and employees have said more transparency is needed regarding layoffs and the decision to have Bain & Co. — the consulting company helping the University find ways to make cuts — come to campus. Thorp acknowledged these sentiments in an interview Thursday, saying he knew there were people who wished he had been more forthcoming about these decisions. He added there will be an interim report from Bain & Co. out soon. Despite budget setbacks, Thorp has remained focused on the goals he outlined in October. Steve Farmer, director of admissions, said Thorp has been “phenom-

Faculty recruitment has been more heavily affected by budget cuts. Thorp said that 50 faculty searches were canceled this year, but that the administration is taking steps now to

position the University to hire faculty at a more normal rate next year. Thorp said he was pleased with the involvement of students in public service this year, which was part of his goal in elevating the region and state. “I think it just naturally comes out of the culture of our University,” he said. “It’s inspiring for me to sit back and watch how that works.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Search for replacement airport site tabled Activists worry plans will move later By Evan Rose

Assistant City Editor

It’s been three months since Chancellor Holden Thorp called off the search for a new airport in Orange County, but residents say the battle’s not over yet. Community activists are lobbying the county to ward off for good the possibility of a replacement for Horace Williams Airport, scheduled to close to make room for Carolina North, UNC’s planned satellite research campus. “We don’t think its finished,” said Orange County Voice member Bonnie Hauser. “They’re not

finished. They’re going to find another way.” The group is asking commissioners to shore up county zoning laws to make sure any attempt to build an airport would have to be county approved. The N.C. General Assembly gave UNC last summer the power to create and seat a 15-member airport authority, charged with siting and building a new general aviation airport in Orange County. One clause in the legislation particularly troubled residents. The authority also would have the power to take land by eminent

domain — without the permission of landowners. Though the authority was never seated, local government said UNC’s power would be overwhelming. Only a third of the members would be county-elected officials. So residents and officials geared up protests. Activists picketed meetings of the Board of Trustees and wrote to UNC administrators. County officials made known their concerns that they were being left out of the loop known in meetings and letters to the chancellor. And when Thorp decided in January not to push ahead with the new airport, the catharsis was widespread, particularly in rural parts of the county where many

thought the airport was likely to end up. While it remains unclear when Horace Williams will close, airport advocates are hoping Thorp might change his mind on a new airport. “While we’re disappointed that it’s not proceeding at the moment, we’re encouraged that he hasn’t closed the door on it,” said Chris Dancy, a spokesman for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. Thorp admitted in January that there were mistakes in the way UNC went about the process of finding a replacement airport. He said the move to drop airport plans came after months of researching the ins and outs of siting a new airport — an initiative

“They’re not finished. They’re going to find another way.” Bonnie hauser, orange county voice member he inherited from his predecessor James Moeser — and meeting with concerned residents. “There’s too much distrust,” he said. “I feared that that distrust would extend to the authority.” But Thorp didn’t rule out the possibility of a new airport in Orange County. The airport authority legislation still stands. He just promised a more open process. “The decision should be made by the county and its citizens,” Thorp

said in January. The N.C. Area Health Education Centers’ operations account for about a quarter of the flights in and out of Horace Williams. Though UNC plans to build AHEC a hangar at RaleighDurham International Airport, some of the program’s leaders say that might be too far. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Campus draft takes shape Smoking ban changes culture O∞cials progress on Carolina North By Andrew Hartnett Staff Writer

Plans for Carolina North are moving forward as Chapel Hill officials have approved the first building and will vote on plans for the first phase of the campus in two months. Town and University officials are working on a development agreement that will guide construction on 133 acres of the 250-acre research campus. The new campus will provide education and research space and is expected to accelerate local business and bring more people to the main campus. Council members and University officials will hold regular joint meetings in an attempt to finish and put it up for agreement by June. On Jan. 26, the Chapel Hill Town Council gave the University a permit for the first building of the campus. The Innovation Center is designed to get UNCgenerated spin-off companies off the ground. The University had asked town officials to approve the Innovation Center before the rest of the campus because it was originally planned to

be built as early as this year. The center was first delayed by developers’ objection to language in the permit. The University responded by mostly blaming the economic recession for the holdup in front of the council. “Blame it on economy,” wrote Pat Crawford, deputy general counsel, in an Oct. 27 e-mail forwarded to Chancellor Holden Thorp and other University officials. Since council approval, the developers have been waiting for the economy to improve before beginning to build. Mayor Kevin Foy said the town can grant a two-year extension on the special-use permit. “Everybody knows the economy is bad right now,” Foy said. “Essentially, they’ve got about four years to start, and I assume the economy will stabilize by then.” In early March, Maryland-based TischlerBise Consultants presented a study to gauge the fiscal impact of Carolina North on the town’s budget. The initial report projects that the first 15 years of Carolina North development would leave the town with a deficit ranging from about

$1 to $3 million. Council members expressed concerns that calculations about the cost of police and fire services to Carolina North were a lot lower in the report than they actually will be. Council members have also expressed dissatisfaction with how the draft of the agreement addresses issues of affordable housing and land use. Between now and June, the council and University officials will have several work sessions to resolve problems with the draft, including how they will provide affordable units at Carolina North and regulate building outside the first phase of campus, which will be developed in the next 50 years. The town is also completing a transportation impact analysis for Carolina North that will highlight the effect the new campus would have on adjacent neighborhoods and roadways and make suggestions for necessary changes to the system. It is set to be completed May 1, when it will be reviewed by council members to help guide final development plans. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

New student leaders prep for term By Evan G. Marlow Staff Writer

While many students are at the beach relaxing, student government members will be working hard this summer as they prepare for the fall semester. “It is when we do a bulk of our work; a lot of planning gets done,” said Student Body President Jasmin Jones. Researching possible policy changes, keeping up with budget updates and meeting with administration are among the things Jones and her Cabinet will be doing over the summer. “I’d like to do a lot of pre-planning, and be more efficient ahead of time instead of waiting until the school year to start,” Jones said. Some of Jones’ main focuses are to increase student government’s visibility and to increase collaboration among student groups. Jones said she plans to increase student body outreach and have strong communication between groups across campus. Although Student Congress doesn’t have a set platform to pursue, members also will be active this summer while preparing for the fall semester. “We have a lot of different ideas we want to set up,” said Joe LevinManning, speaker of Congress. Along with reviewing the Student

Code for possible revisions that will require bills in the fall, Student Congress will be working on technology that will increase their visibility to students. “The student population will completely know everything Congress will go through,” Levin-Manning said. “We’ll be transparent so everyone can see the motives behind things.” One thing they plan to do to help achieve increased transparency is to post simultaneous Webcasts and podcasts of their meetings. “Some things take time to set up, so we can run through some trial and error with those over the summer,” Levin-Manning said.

Like the rest of student government, the CAA is also trying to be more involved with the student body. “We have to be the communication between the student body and the athletic department,” Russell said. “We haven’t been the best at communicating with students. We need to let them know we’re here and we’re here to help.” Student government will be hard at work during the summer to ensure that everything runs smoothly when students return in the fall. “Our main goal is to make progress in general and not be complacent,” Levin-Manning said. “We have to get out there so when we come back, we can say we did something” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

After the first complete school year of a smoke-free UNC, opinions about the effect of the campus-wide smoking ban are mixed. Beginning Jan. 1, 2008, smoking was banned within 100 feet of University buildings and inside all campus living spaces. The ban’s purpose is to discourage smoking at the University and improve campus health, officials said. Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said the ban’s effects have not been quantified, but do seem positive overall. “At the onset at this campaign, it was a goal to reflect our campus as a smoke-free environment, and certainly that communication has reached a broad audience,” he said. Young said smoking has certainly not ceased, but has instead migrated to certain areas outside of the 100-foot boundary. “In the areas that were the concern of the administration here at the University and the focus of our initial enforcement, smoking seems to have, if not ceased in those areas, certainly have been somewhat limited,” Young said. But sophomore Cliff Brett said he hasn’t experienced any great changes because of the smoking ban and still smokes all over campus. “With the ban thing — cigarettes are going up $2 and people are still smoking, so it’s not going to change anything with people smoking,” he said. Enforcement of the ban so far has been limited to communication through the issuing of verbal warnings, violations and warning notices that were handed out at the onset of the enforcement campaign, Young said. “Given the resources, it continues to be hard to enforce the ban all over campus, primarily because the infractions are short-lived,” he said. Many opinions about the ban have more to do with personal convenience rather than overall campus health and smoking habits. “It’s an annoyance to the smokers to have to stand out in the cold and rain to do it, and then I’ve heard of people say it’s an annoyance to walk down a sidewalk and

Smokers congregate around the flag pole in Polk Place during the fall. It’s one of the few places on campus 100 feet from any building.

“It continues to be hard to enforce the ban all over campus, primarily because the infractions are short-lived.” WHO SAID IT, title there be five people smoking and have to walk through smoke,” David Owens, chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee. But sophomore Mary Coppedge, a nonsmoker, said she likes that smoking has migrated to certain areas — such as near the flag pole — because she has the option to avoid smoke. “I don’t see anyone walking around smoking,” Coppedge said. “It’s nice to not have to walk to class behind someone and have smoke blown in your face.”

Coppedge said she hasn’t seen any negative effects of the smoking ban so far, but said it’s easier to see the smoking ban’s positive side simply because she doesn’t smoke. “I do feel like it violates their right to smoke,” said Kelsey Schmidt, a sophomore and nonsmoker. “But at the same time, I have a right not to inhale it, so it’s hard to find a happy medium.”
