Yates takes center stage By Powell Latimer Sports Editor

T.J. Yates sits in the sparkling new fifth floor of the Kenan Football Center. Reporters crowd around him. Cameras are in his face. For question after question, North Carolina’s junior quarterback answers in the exact same inflection. His voice stays on a completely even keel, even as recorders and microphones creep uncomfortably close. “All summer long we’ve been work-

ing our tails off. All through summer camp we’ve been working really hard,” he said. It’s a stock answer to a stock question, but Yates is clearly comfortable and in command, even while a spotlight brighter than Kenan Stadium’s new lights has focused itself on the signal caller. It started heating up immediately after Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and Brooks Foster all departed. Those three were the receiving core for UNC in 2008, and caught 114 of North Carolina’s 182 completed passes in 2008. That means that for the first time in

Instead, he will rely on Greg Little, a highly-touted player out of high school who spent 2008 as a running back, and a host of freshmen. “We really haven’t changed much offensively at all, as far as concepts and

schemes and everything,” Yates said. “There are more things we have to do offensively as far as spreading the ball around. We’re just becoming a smarter offensive team — which is helping us, I think.” Most of that distribution will be up to Yates, and thus most of the burden will fall to him to look to the third,

How bid lists work: UNC’s Panhellenic Council uses “bid lists” to help narrow down the pool of potential members. After each round, potential members work with counselors to make a list of sororities they would like to continue visiting. Sororities also narrow down the pool of potential members.

Round One - Potential

members visit all 10 sororities.

Round Two - Potential members list up to seven chapters and visit the ones that extend an invitation. Round Three - The

list-making process is repeated and potential members visit up to five houses.

Thursday marked the official start of rush for sororities that are part of UNC’s Panhellenic Council. Here, members of one sorority rehearse a song inside their house. During rush, each sorority will perform different skits and songs during events that continue throughout next week.

Round Four - Potential members visit up to three houses. Casey Cowan, vice president for recruitment, stressed that women should follow recruitment rules and go to every house that extends an invitation. Not following the rules can result in losing the bid.

Sororities beckon to new members BY Chelsea Bailey Staff writer

For college women who have answered the call of the goddesses and decided to go Greek, today is a big day. To d a y m a r k s t h e k i c k o ff o f Panhellenic recruitment week, commonly known as “rush,” a four-round process spread out over five days where aspiring sorority members are placed in organizations. During the process, potential members will visit UNC’s 10 Panhellenic sororities and have the opportunity to talk to current members. Through a process of mutual selection, potential members work with sororities to choose the house and group that best fits them. For many women, this means the possibility of finding more than a new

Potential members will spend 20 minutes at all ten chapter houses and have the opportunity to relax, socialize and have fun. Dress suggestions: short sleeves, casual shorts, pants, skirts, sandals or tennis shoes.

Sunday - Round Two - Skit 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday will begin with a meeting with a recruitment counselor to receive individual schedules detailing which sororities each potential member will visit. Potential members will visit up to seven chapters for 30 minutes to watch skits and learn

Fewer teaching assistants hired BY C. Ryan Barber

Assistant University Editor

Several academic departments have been forced to offer fewer teaching assistant positions to graduate students this semester in response to statewide budget cuts. But graduate students, who often struggle financially while balancing classroom activities with research and family life, have not voiced strong opposition to the cuts. The reduction in teaching assistant positions, which are funded by UNC’s various academic units, is linked to another cut — the decision by academic departments to consolidate classes into fewer sections, said Dee Reid, director of communications for the College of Arts and Sciences. “Typically, across the college, departments have reduced their graduate student TAs by one or two,” she said. “The sections may be larger,

maybe not a lot larger, but that means we need fewer teaching assistants.” Reid estimated that departments in the college have collectively eliminated 24 teaching assistant positions, not a significant component of the overall number of positions. Although many graduate students depend on teaching assistant work for income, John Akin, chairman of the economics department, said the cuts will not have a financial impact on most. “We don’t have any students working at McDonald’s or anything,” he said. Akin added that the University guarantees most graduate students funding at least through their first four years. This support often comes in the form of teaching assistant positions, research grants and fellowships. Fewer fifth- and sixth-year

important information about philanthropy projects, special events and other activities. Dress suggestions: short sleeves, casual shorts, pants, skirts, sandals or tennis shoes.

Monday - Round Three Philanthropy 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. During round three, potential members will visit up to five chapters for 45 minutes. Each chapter will provide a tour and refreshments, and potential members will complete a philanthropy project. Dress suggestions: sundress, casual dress, skirts, sandals or dress shoes.

Wednesday - Round Four Preference Night 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Potential members will visit up to three chapters Wednesday night. Each event is 45 minutes long. During these events, chapters will host special ceremonies and listen to sorority members share their feelings about their sorority and their favorite memories. Rush chairwomen said this night is important for helping potential members decide where they will fit in the best. Dress suggestions: dress or formal attire, sandals or dress shoes.

Thursday - Bid Day 6 p.m. In an emotional ceremony in the Coker Arboretum, potential members receive their formal invitation to one sorority. They then spend the evening at that sorority’s house getting to know the members.

Flu shots draw the young and old by Elizabeth Jensen Staff writer

Freshman Shelby Benson said she was in a residence hall elevator when a sniffling girl said her roommate had swine flu. After seeing enough people with sniffles and empty seats in her classrooms, Benson decided to get a seasonal flu shot, even though a swine flu vaccine will not be available until October. Benson and her boyfriend Adam Bowers went to Kerr Drug to get the shot. They were two of about 100 people who went to Kerr Drug on Thursday for the seasonal flu vaccine, pharmacist Joe Heidrick said. Kerr Drug in University Mall began vaccinating people on Aug. 24 and has administered about 500 shots since. On average, the clinic gives 40 to 60 shots a day. Bowers had no fond memories of the flu, which he suffered through last year. “I was vomiting profusely,” he said. The flu vaccine costs $30 and is covered for those with BlueCross BlueShield insurance or Medicare,

Heidrick said. Benson refused to watch as Bowers got the shot. After the shot, Bowers yelled to his girlfriend from the other room, “I didn’t feel it.” The pharmacy gives shots weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some days the pharmacists may be at offsite clinics, so it’s best to call ahead, Heidrick said. “The biggest thing is to get the vaccine when it’s available. You never know when the next shortage is going to hit,” he said. Heidrick said he encourages sororities, fraternities and other campus groups to call and arrange a clinic at their organizations. The pharmacist administered 40 flu shots to the members of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority on Wednesday. Mendy Childress and Kendall Page, who were getting shots, said they are taking a photographic safari in Tanzania. Catching the flu on the plane ride would spoil the trip, they said. Childress said the shot hurt. “That was worse than the ones for Africa,” she said. “If we get sick, it’s going to have to be a super bug.” Former UNC professor Chuck

Stone, 85, said his wife called him Thursday to remind him to get his flu shot. “If you don’t get a flu shot and you get the flu, it’s your fault,” he said. “You have no excuse.” He joked that if he still had students, he would fail them or “at least give them a D” if they didn’t get the vaccine. Benson and Bowers would pass. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Pageant contestants blow up condoms

From staff and wire reports

ageant contestants in the Aug. 23 Miss Universe contest were required to participate in “Condom Olympics.” The event was sponsored by a group whose founder is the president of the largest mail-order adult toy distributor in the nation. The contestants were required to blow up the condoms until they burst and fill them with water to do demonstrations. Population Services International, an AIDS prevention group, sponsored the condom events. Representatives of the group said the event was to ensure that the contestants, who could be ambassadors for Youth AIDS prevention, knew how to properly put on condoms.

Sociology professor passes away in Chapel Hill at 98 Amos Henry Hawley, 98, a Kenan professor emeritus at UNC, passed away in Chapel Hill on Monday. Hawley was an influential figure in the field of sociology, most notably because of the publication of his 1950 book, “Human Ecology: A Theory of Community Structure.” He taught at UNC from 1966 to 1976 after earning his doctorate and teaching at the University of Michigan. He was president of the Population Association of America and of the American Sociological Association, among many other honors and positions in the sociology and population studies communities. One of UNC’s Margaret and Paul A. Johnston Professorships in the College of Arts and Sciences was named in his honor — the Amos Hawley Distinguished Professorship.

New intramurals unveiled Play to

cover family tragedy

Campus Rec adjusting to pool closure BY David Riedell Staff writer

Campus Recreation is making some changes this semester to help keep students physically active. While Bowman Gray Indoor Pool is closed for renovations, the new South Campus Recreation Complex — completed this summer — will offer students more opportunities for physical activity. The complex will provide Campus Recreation with new options for intramural sports to help make up for those that are temporarily unavailable because of pool renovations. The changes in the intramu-

ral schedule aren’t a product of the campuswide budget crunch, said Marty Pomerantz, director of Campus Recreation. “Operationally, we’ve been OK. We run a pretty tight ship,” Pomerantz said. “We’ve done well because we’re so well supported by our students.”

The National Institutes of Health has awarded the UNC Institute for Global Health and Infectious Diseases $2.7 million to research and develop drugs that can purge HIV infections more completely than current antivirals. The process will involve small molecules in an artificial HIV system, a “humanized” mouse model and, finally, cells from HIV patients.

Andrew DiMeo showcases the tattoo on his right arm, as well as one of his motorcycles. DiMeo, an alumnus of UNC, said his tattoos are about telling a story. His Aztec-style bird tattoo, pictured, was his second put on by Diamond Ted, a renowned tattoo artist in Wisconsin.

Quest for the best ink

Each of DiMeo’s three tattoos has a unique story By Ryan DAVIS Staff Writer

For Andrew DiMeo, ink is about telling a story. An alumnus and die-hard supporter of UNC, DiMeo said Chapel Hill will always have an important place in his heart. But it is freedom that has always been his driving force. In 1993, at 20 years old, that force propelled DiMeo to climb on the back of his HarleyDavidson and take a journey around the country that would span 4,000 miles in a month. “Before I left, I said I was coming back with a tattoo,” said DiMeo, who is now an assistant professor at N.C. State University and does biomedical engineering work with UNC. During the course of the trip, DiMeo asked people he met where would they go if they were to get a tattoo. “I was talking to this prototypical Harley guy in Iowa, and he didn’t have any tattoos,” DiMeo said. “So I asked him if his son were going to get a tattoo, where would he send him. And he said, ‘Definitely Ted’s.’” Multiple recommendations made the

choice easy — Diamond Ted, a renowned tattoo artist in Janesville, Wis. DiMeo said he always knew he wanted a bird for his first tattoo since it represented freedom. After four hours of work, DiMeo had an eagle on his left arm that overlaid the U.S. flag. In 1996, DiMeo’s sister in Iowa adopted two children from Russia. On a bike ride to visit, DiMeo realized how close he was to Diamond Ted and made the trip to Janesville again. “This time, the tattoo was going to be a lot more personal,” he said. “My sister had these two kids coming to America, and I wanted something that would commemorate that.” DiMeo left Diamond Ted’s with an eagle on his right arm — this one done in an Aztec style. The following year DiMeo met his future wife, Jenn. “I was really intrigued by (the tattoos) and interested in the story,” Jenn DiMeo said. “I would never do it personally, but it’s cool.” The couple had a son in 2003 who was born with clubfoot, a condition where a child is born with a foot turned to the side. The condition proved too severe for treatment at

UNC, so Andrew DiMeo sought treatment from a doctor in Iowa. While the family was regularly making road trips to Iowa together, DiMeo decided to get his third tattoo. This time, DiMeo drew the design himself. When it was finished, he called Diamond Ted. “Ted still owned the shop but didn’t work anymore,” he said. “But he said if I was coming through, he would do the work for me.” DiMeo made his third trip to Janesville, but this time, it was in a car with his wife and two children instead of on the back of a Harley. The final product was the Tar Heel foot logo with a University of Iowa Hawkeye logo where the tar would normally be. “Everything sort of came together for the third one,” he said. “We’ve always loved UNC, the foot design for my son, the Hawkeye for all the trips to Iowa — it all just made sense.” Today, DiMeo spends his time parenting and teaching. He doesn’t ride like he used to, but his philosophy remains the same. “Anytime I look at (the tattoos) or someone asks me about them, I immediately go back,” he said. “I remember every mile.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

UNC alumna Carina Cortese never expected to discover family secrets in an Argentine history book. But during her sophomore year when she studied abroad in Argentina, Cortese discovered that the brutal murder of her mother’s uncle was made famous in a popular history book. Yet she had never heard the story. She turned this experience into an autobiographical performance titled “After-Images of the Disappeared.” This piece opens the Process Series this fall, with a performance at 8 p.m. tonight and Saturday in Gerrard Hall. The Process Series presents new works free of charge and develops the pieces further based on audience feedback. There are five additional works in the Process Series, and they will be presented throughout the year. Cor tese’s great-uncle was abducted during Argentina’s “Dirty War,” during which people disappeared if they disagreed with the controlling military dictatorship. Her family had made hints but never directly spoke about the conflict. “At the beginning, it was more shock. We never talked about it,” Cortese said. After a second trip to Argentina with the help of the Institute for the Study of the Americas Halpern Award and a senior honors thesis research grant, Cortese wrote the play as her honors thesis for the dramatic art department. She received the highest honors and the Federico G. Gil Award for best thesis on a Latin American topic when she graduated in May 2009. “This project just took on a life of its own. I didn’t know where it was going to go, and it morphed out of this need to understand my family,” Cortese said. “It is a very personal journey, but showing that and experiencing that gives people a greater awareness of what happened in Argentina.” Joseph Megel, director of the Process Series, was essential in helping Cortese develop her work. “For me it’s like being the midwife of something really exciting and special,” he said. “I feel sort of blessed for getting to go on the journey and helping to shape it so it has a future that will want to be seen by others.” Cortese’s performance pulls the audience close to the tragedy, and the impact of the work becomes apparent. Because this story revolves

National and World News NASA is lacking enough funding

Biden says stimulus package is doing its job e∞ciently and e≠ectively

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — NASA, whose successes helped seal America’s reputation as the world’s technological leader, is facing a series of money woes that could thwart its hopes of once again becoming the globe’s leader in space exploration. A blue-ribbon presidential panel is expected to advise the White House later this month that returning astronauts to the moon by 2020, as former President George W. Bush proposed, is financially impossible under NASA’s $18.7 billion budget.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Vice President Joe Biden claimed Thursday that the $787 billion stimulus plan “is doing more, faster, more efficiently and more effectively than we had hoped.” In a speech noting the 200day mark since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was approved, Biden said that $62.5 billion in tax cuts had been delivered, $1.9 billion in contracts had been awarded to small businesses and more than 10,000 transportation projects had been approved. He also pointed out:

n Work has started on 2,200

highway projects, for example, 700 more than expected at this stage. n Work has also started on 192 airport projects, 94 more than scheduled. n Health care centers in all 50 states are providing expanded care to 500,000 patients, 200,000 more than forecast. Biden also said that several planned projects were on schedule. Work is under way to build 200 new waste and water systems in rural America.

National program U.S. cuts most of may start locally aid to Honduras

Tropical Storm Erika is dying out

CARACAS, Venezuela (MCT) — The Obama administration ratcheted up the pressure on Honduras’ coup-installed government to step down by cutting all non-humanitarian aid to the Central American country Thursday. The U.S. announcement was accompanied by a decision to revoke visas for senior officials involved with the June 28 coup that hustled President Manuel Zelaya out of the country. The administration stopped short of tougher measures that would force de facto President Roberto Micheletti to step aside.

MIAMI (MCT) — Tropical storm warnings were posted Thursday for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands as Erika approached. But by the time it gets there, Erika may have fizzled from storm strength. It will remain very windy and wet but not as dangerous. At 11 a.m. EDT, the National Hurricane Center said the slow-moving system was holding at minimum tropical storm strength, with winds at 40 mph, but was expected to weaken into a depression as it neared the islands and then to fade further.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., is pushing a compromise on the most contentious part of President Barack Obama’s bid to provide medical benefits to uninsured Americans. Instead of a nationwide government insurance program, Clyburn is urging other Democrats to accept a scaled-down public option that would be tested as a pilot program in several parts of the country. The deal offered by Clyburn was the latest signal that Obama may back off his previous insistence on a full public option.

fourth or fifth option on passing downs. If Yates feels pressure about the tremendous load placed on his shoulders, he’s not showing it. “My first season and a little bit of last season I was still trying to learn all the plays and learn all the offense,” Yates said. “But now, having that completely embedded in my memory, it’s more about preparing and watching film and getting ready for the defense we’re facing.” But teammates have noticed Yates taking command in the huddle and in practices, making sure that he is in control of the offense. “T.J.’s stepping up, definitely,” running back Shaun Draughn said. “If young guys in the huddle don’t know what to do, he makes sure they know what to do so we go out crisp, sharp. Everybody knows what to do.”

residence at Carolina. Las Vegas native Whitney Cox said she is excited about finding her place at Carolina. With red hair and freckles, the freshman doesn’t fit the stereotype of a Southern sorority member, but she said she’s not nervous. “I think the selection process is based more on personality,” Cox said. “Sure, there’s the obvious fear of rejection, but I like that throughout the process, the girls and the sororities have a say in where they join.” Amid the stress of memorizing faces and names and trying to impress future sorority members, UNC’s Panhellenic Council encourages women to remember to be themselves. Casey Cowan, vice president for recruitment, stands by the advice she received when she was rushing: Ignore the rumors and stay true to yourself. She also advised potential members not to panic but to approach the recruitment process as if they’re making new friends. “You should have an open mind. If you act like yourself, you’ll end up in a house that’s more fitting for you,” she said. Cowan compared the process to applying for college: You may not get your first choice, but you will end up at the best fit.

“We really haven’t changed anything. … We’re just becoming a smarter o≠ensive team — which is helping us, I think.” T.J. Yates, Junior Quarterback Even if Yates is perfect on offense, he still has to stay healthy. Injuries bothered him for the first two years of his career, even sidelining him for six games in 2008. But Yates enters this season healthy, and the North Carolina coaching staff has been emphasizing footwork in the pocket — which should be vital, given that the offensive line is young and thin. More than anything, Yates finally has the stage to capitalize on the potential he has shown during the past two years. One way Yates will do that is by building chemistry with the tools he has returning — limited though

they may be. Yates is relying extensively on Little and tight end Zack Pianalto. “Just knowing where he’s going to be, the way he runs his routes, and the way he leans, I have a read on him, how he’s going to break, how he’s going to read a certain zone,” Yates said of the player that will be his safety net in 2009. “It’s simple things that come with experience and getting a lot of offseason work.” But no matter how good Yates makes Little and Pianalto look, the spotlight is fixed on him — and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

Members and potential members must abstain from drinking alcohol and socializing with the opposite sex during the recruitment process. The idea is to keep potential members focused on the sorority system. “We don’t want the girls to feel pressured, and the rules create a more relaxed environment,” Cowan said. In light of an outbreak of the H1N1 virus, the council recommends that sick potential members contact their recruitment councilors as soon as possible to make sure they don’t get left out of the process. Despite the nervous energy surrounding rush week, potential members have tried to remain positive. “I look at it as a way to make my best friends and find sisters for life,” said freshman Melanie Williams.

Akin said. “Some may just decide to finish their dissertation without support.” Fifth-year graduate student Manasigan Kanchanachitra, who is teaching a class in the economics department in addition to her research, said the position cuts were anything but devastating for graduate students. She added that it might help some students, who are trying to finish their theses or dissertations. “I think the primary purpose is more on research,” she said. “So I wouldn’t say anyone is missing out on anything if they don’t get to TA.” Although the reduction in teaching responsibilities could increase graduate students’ focus on research, Kanchanachitra said the teaching experience is invaluable for graduate and undergraduate students alike. “I’ve learned a lot from teaching,” she said. “Being a TA forced me to think from different perspectives.”

Economic climate slows Stores seek cheap textbooks But late orders some local development can hinder e≠ort by Nick Andersen Senior writer

Chapel Hill and Carrboro have several developments and projects in the works — but are now lacking the money to keep working. The area’s progress is patchy, with the soaring towers of Greenbridge just a stone’s throw from the potholes on South Columbia Street. Private and public developments alike have been forced to come to terms with a dramatically altered economic climate. “We’re cautiously optimistic,” said Jim Norton, executive director of the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership.

Road projects delayed The Chapel Hill planning board has seen a recent upswing in development applications, officials said. Multi-family housing, office and other mixed-use projects are currently under review. “We’re not sure what that says about the economy, but it’s a good sign,” said J.B. Culpepper, planning director for the town of Chapel Hill. But the recession has had a marked effect on two proposed road repair projects. T h e N.C . D e p a r t m e n t o f

Transportation announced its decision to delay what town officials described as a crucial repaving project of South Columbia Street. “Every day, that stretch of road sees upwards of 25,000 bus passengers,” Chapel Hill Town Council member Ed Harrison said. “This is a project that was very important to the town and the campus.” The town had proposed the resurfacing as a “shovel-ready” project worthy of qualifying for the federal government’s stimulus plan, but none of the street improvement projects proposed in Chapel Hill were accepted when the stimulus funds were allocated in February. The project is not expected to begin until summer 2010. Another project that has been in the works since 1997, adding turn and bike lanes to South Columbia Street, has been pushed back until November 2011, said Patty Eason, a construction engineer for N.C. DOT. “We’ve had to review our projects and take a look at our priorities,” Eason said. She described the delay on South Columbia Street as characteristic of the department’s projects across the state.

Some progress made

BY Jeannine o’brian

But other projects are making progress. Chapel Hill will be receiving a computerized traffic-light system from N.C. DOT, replacing a system that Harrison called “older than most University students.” In Carrboro, town officials are moving forward on plans to add sidewalks and break ground on the future hotel at 300 E. Main St. “I think of it as our own contribution to the national effort to create jobs and get the economy moving,” Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton said. While a number of approved private developments in Carrboro have slowed down, they are still in development, Chilton said. “In this environment, you can’t build a building and not know who’s going to be in it,” he said. “The projects aren’t abandoned, they’re just stalled.” And as soon as tenants and funds are found, the area will be ready to build on a larger scale. “We’ll come out of this prepared to start again,” said Dwight Bassett, Chapel Hill’s economic development officer. “We’ll come out fine.”

When it comes to textbooks, faculty members and Student Stores have both been pushing for lower prices for years. But sometimes their efforts have led to a miscommunication between the two groups and, consequently, some empty shelves. Recently elected faculty chairwoman McKay Coble wants to coordinate their efforts to be more effective. Student Stores seeks textbook orders as early as possible in order to find used books that students can buy for cheap. But those early order deadlines can often fall before professors know what classes they will be teaching. Coble said the issue can be resolved by establishing better communication between instructors and Student Stores. “There’s no war going on here,” Coble said. “It’s just a question of clarification.” Student Stores competes with universities across the nation to procure what it wants from wholesale used textbook vendors. “The earlier we have the information that a book is going to be used, the earlier we can get that information to wholesalers, and the better chance we have of getting the books,” said Kelly Hanner, textbook department manager at Student Stores. The department also participates in a buyback program with other North Carolina universities to improve the chance that students will be able to sell their books back at the end of a semester. Students receive 50 percent of a book’s original price if a professor has committed to using the book the following semester.

Reduction pledges earn rewards Staff Writer

Hundreds of campus community members have pledged to conserve water and reduce waste as part of a new campaign by the Sustainability Office. And they are getting environmentally friendly, reusable water bottles in return. The bottles, which feature a green Tar Heel logo symbolizing the new Carolina Green initiative, have been given to students since the beginning of school in exchange for a pledge to help the environment. Of the 4,000 that were originally ordered for the program, 650 have already been distributed. “If you look at social marketing and behavioral change research, if people say in writing that they will so something, they are more likely to do it,” said Cindy Shea, director of the Sustainability Office. Students write pledges on postcards along with the their addresses. The postcards will be mailed back to the students in January to remind them of their vow. “We want new students, especially transfer students, to know that they’re at UNC and expected to adapt sustainable behavior,” she said. The water bottle campaign was developed last semester by the Sustainability Office, student government’s environmental affairs

committee and the UNC Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling. The Sustainability Office developed the Carolina Green campaign to drive traffic to their new Web site, which is a directory of sustainable programs and activities. “We’re really trying to promote Carolina Green as a one-stop portal for anything to do with sustainability so that students can just go on one Web site instead of seven different ones,” said Brian Cain, research and outreach manager at the Sustainability Office. To receive a bottle, students must come up with ways to reduce waste, including reducing shower time, using reusable water bottles and cutting down on paper use. “I’m overwhelmed with the success,” Cain said about the office’s first two events. “We actually ran out of bottles in three hours.” But some question whether the program actually benefits the environment. “I feel like for a lot of people, it’s just the free water bottle,” said sophomore Drew Simel. “After considering the people around the world that live off around a dollar a day, I’ve realized that I don’t need to use that much energy for my daily activities.” Student government’s environmental affairs committee has taken an active interest in the campaign.

“When you sign a sustainability pledge, it’s really up to the individual to whether or not they follow through,” said Elinor Benami, former committee chairwoman and one of the project’s organizers. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

First-year graduate student Luiz Batista shops for books at Student Stores. Many students are having trouble finding their books. Despite these efforts, some textbook orders are consistently late. Keeping up with the latest publications is particularly important for departments whose job is to teach current events. Instruc tors at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication usually want to wait until the last minute to order books, Hanner said. “Journalism isn’t the same one semester to the next,” said Leroy Towns, a professor at the school. “It’s almost impossible to meet

those textbook deadlines when you’re creating a new course.” Within the next few months, faculty members will receive a questionnaire from the Office of Faculty Governance asking them to describe their best and worst textbook-ordering experiences. The office hasn’t determined a timetable for the project, but Coble hopes to compile responses by the end of the semester. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

around the actress’s actual family, the horror of the “Dirty War” transcends the historical context and is more relevant for viewers. “Carina really discovered an important history, but also her very personal family history,” Megel said. After learning her family’s stories, Cortese said she was in disbelief of the atrocities committed on them and by them. “My mother was there at shootouts. She was so involved,” Cortese said. “To be able to put faces to those events changed them so drastically.” The show is not meant as a history lesson but as an experience to which everyone can relate. “It’s not unique to my family, or Argentina; it happens all the time across the world,” she said.

two basketball courts that double as street hockey rinks. It will also include UNC’s first three courts for paddle tennis — a version of tennis played on a smaller court with a solid racquet. The facility’s grand opening ceremony is slated for Oct. 17 and will feature programs in sand volleyball, tennis, basketball and street hockey, Pomerantz said. He said the highlight of the event will be an exhibition game played by four professional paddle tennis players. They will also conduct a clinic for students who want to learn more about the sport or hone their skills.

Intramural sport shuffle Student Recreation will not be able to provide three intramural sports while Bowman Gray is under construction. Inner tube water polo, inner tube water basketball and swimming will not be available this fall, said Justin Ford, director of intramural sports. “We’re operating under the assumption that the pool is going to be offline this entire school year,” Pomerantz said. He said the best-

case scenario is that Bowman Gray Indoor Pool will be open by spring break. Pomerantz said while waterbased intramurals will not be held this fall, some club sports are negotiating for the use of Koury Natatorium, the facility used by varsity aquatic sports. But Campus Recreation is introducing two new intramural sports. Baggo — a beanbag tossing game — and singles and doubles paddle tennis will be offered this fall. Ford

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Inebriated sex can have very serious consequences

few protesters in Raleigh have a strange definition of rape. And through them, we can all learn about decorum in disagreements, how to listen and why we learn before we speak. I went there a few weeks ago to see the premiere of “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” a movie based on a collection of stories of the same name written and lived by Tucker Max. He is the quintessential barparty boy, famous for his sweet talking and subsequent sexual conquests. His genre is a guy’s version of chick lit, and his audience is the college crowd. He was in Raleigh for the premiere, part of a series of premieres across the country. What differentiated the Raleigh premiere from those before it was the presence of protesters lining the streets outside of the theater with signs saying that the movie contained, promoted and condoned rape. Bill Dawes, who tours with the film, took action and interviewed some of the protesters, showcasing select interviews in a YouTube video in which some protesters admit they never actually saw the movie or read the book. Stretching the definition of something as serious as rape belittles the crime. But I had to remind myself that they were just a group of student protesters, protesting for protest’s sake. It seemed like some of them didn’t even know what they were protesting. And then my thoughts converged and I was reminded of the ongoing debate on health care and the lack of decorum and civility in those infamous town hall meetings. Although the protesters in Raleigh kept their composure, some of them had their facts wrong. When you have your facts wrong, or when they’re exaggerated to the brink of falsity in order to incite such passion from those who believe them, tensions will build and tempers will fly — as in many a case regarding these protests over national health care. And as I thought about the health care debate, I was reminded of yet another protest gone awry. The visit last semester from former U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., caused only a few on the University’s campus to think he deserved a banner in the face and a swift silencing before he’d even spoken. The chanting of “no dialogue with hate” goes against everything I want this campus to learn how to do: listen and learn. If you have a valid point, let people hear it. That does not require you to silence your opposition with banners and chants, or craft lies or labels to smear them like “rapist” or “communist.” Make sure you know what your point is before you start shouting. Make sure you’ve studied up on it. Use knowledge as a weapon. Know why their ideology is different from your own. Don’t follow a ringleader into battle with passion fueled only by his words. And make sure that you are for something before you are against something else. Alliances of hate don’t last long enough to make a difference. Be for something, not against.

Enough is enough, ASG In light of wasted money and ine≠ectiveness, it’s time we leave the Association of Student Governments

his is the last straw for the UNC-system Association of Student Governments. In light of an inflated budget and lack of results, it’s time that UNC-Chapel Hill stops funding this group. ASG, a group responsible for representing the interests of students throughout the entire UNC system, has not proved its worth. And its use of student fees is simply embarrassing. Last weekend, ASG gave final approval to its $260,000 budget for the upcoming year. These funds come directly from student fees paid by UNC-system students. The fee is $1 per year. Although this might not seem like much, it adds up. And the money could certainly be used for much more pertinent programs. This is especially true in a time when every dollar counts. The UNC system has gone through some of the most severe budget cuts in recent history, which means every dollar must be spent carefully, including student fees. ASG’s budget is nothing more than a giant waste of money, largely spent on travel expenses and salaries. Their budget consists of close to $100,000 for salaries, stipends and other compensation for ASG members and administrative workers. Another $42,000 is allocated for travel expenses and hotels — sometimes simply to plan the budget. ASG just hasn’t done enough to show that it deserves, or even

needs, its current budget. Prior to 2002, ASG worked with a budget of only $2,500. Granted, $2,500 isn’t much to work with. “It was basically an unfunded group,” said Jeff Nieman, who was president of ASG from 1998 to 2000. But the group existed nonetheless. Then the UNC-system Board of Governors approved the $1 student fee that allowed its budget to balloon. The group’s effectiveness has seen little measurable increase. Fo r m e r p r e s i d e n t a n d Nieman’s successor, Andrew Payne, told The Daily Tar Heel that these salaries are “ridiculous.” “I can understand compensating everyone for their time, but that wasn’t the intention of the fee.” Payne said. While the potential for an effective ASG may exist, the group hasn’t achieved the goals that it has laid out. Student representation hasn’t been accomplished. In 2007, ASG’s legitimacy as a representative of the student body suffered another blow. The organization fell into turmoil when Cole Jones, thenpresident of ASG, resigned after being charged with misdemeanor assault of his aunt. The charges have since been dropped, but questions of the group’s legitimacy remain. In fact, former UNC-CH Student Body President J.J. Raynor did not even attend the meetings personally. She sent a proxy instead, much to the chagrin of the organization.

But one can hardly blame her. The time for reforming ASG has come and gone. The group’s impact on the system has been marginal, and its steady increase in budget is not being matched by a steady increase in productivity. In the past, the DTH’s Editorial Board has called on ASG to provide evidence that justifies its allotment of student fees. Last year, Greg Doucette, president of ASG, wrote an open letter in response. He claimed that his organization was involved with several oncampus initiatives, including “get out the vote” efforts. But we’re just not convinced that ASG does enough to warrant their enormous budget. A re-evaluation of ASG is in order. Students could use a group that represents their interest in the legislature, but ASG simply hasn’t been up to the challenge. The money we are forced to funnel to ASG could be spent in a wiser fashion. For example, the funds could be used to provide more scholarships or other student services. According to Jennings Carpenter, student body treasurer, students can petition the associate vice chancellor of finance, Roger Patterson, to eliminate the fee. Enough is enough. It’s time Carolina students demand that we stop funding this ineffective organization. CONTACT ROGER PATTERSON: E-mail: roger_patterson@unc.edu Phone: (919) 962-7242

Keep it artsy The University and Chapel Hill should ﬁnd a way to keep the Varsity Theater an arts venue

he closing of the Varsity Theater on Franklin Street this summer was a devastating blow to the Chapel Hill community. But hopefully, this vacancy will only be temporary. While it’s wonderful to see businesses moving back to Franklin Street and the town’s renewed commitment to fostering economic development, it’s hard to believe we can’t support a main street movie theater. And it’s so unfortunate that two of the three independent movie theaters in Chapel Hill have closed within the past five years. It’s important to have an independent movie theater close to campus for a variety of reasons. While free movies are offered on campus through

the Carolina Union Activities Board in the student union, there is little choice to see nonblockbuster films. Also, a One Card is necessary for admittance, meaning town residents cannot attend. And like it or not, Chapel Hill prides itself on being an eclectic community a step or two off the beaten path; one where the mainstream and the unusual walk hand in hand. An independent movie theater, accessible to students living on campus and town residents, is essential to Chapel Hill’s unique feel. As senior Giovanna Allegretti put it, “Franklin Street has to be more than sports memorabilia and alcohol. Otherwise, downtown Chapel Hill is just a kitschy tour destination.” But having a movie theater on Franklin Street is not solely

about image. Moviegoers bring in the bucks for neighboring businesses. And the Varsity used to contribute to the lively economic environment downtown. Several solutions to the problem have already been proposed. One notable solution is a community arts center. Local filmmakers and musicians could use the space to showcase their works. Others have called for a nonprofit movie theater. And though no one has yet stepped up to the plate, entrepreneur or film groups on campus could look at this as a tremendous collaborative opportunity to create a student-run theater. Whatever the alternative, a new addition to the Chapel Hill theater scene is a must to maintain its college-town vibe.

TO THE EDITOR Austin Capobianco’s letter to the editor (“If it feels good, it must be wrong — sex included,” Sept. 2) makes a joke of a situation which is very serious to many, especially to survivors and secondary survivors. It also downplays the importance of many who work tirelessly to end sexual violence. Never has it been stated that inebriated sex is bad. What has been stated is that legal consent cannot be given by a person who is inebriated. Capobianco jokingly calls alcohol “a crutch for the weak;” if it is not this, what is it? I think alcohol is mainly considered a fun and enjoyable social aid. But sometimes, it can become a tool for the powerful. Just like violence, emotional abuse and social pressure, alcohol can be used to gain sex from an unwilling partner. Only able to have sex with drunk people? I will try to add some sobriety to your life. One out of every six women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime. College-aged women are four times more likely to be a victim of sexual assault. About 70 percent of sexual assault survivors know their attacker. Look around you. This isn’t about the occasional slip up, these things happen every day. Inebriated sex may feel better, but know that inebriated consent can cause so much more pain.

Rep. Price’s views differs from Founding Fathers’ TO THE EDITOR The Daily Tar Heel’s coverage of U.S. Rep. David Price, D-N.C., at Wednesday’s health care forum reveals that the representative has a view of rights that is very different from the ones enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. “Price called access to basic health care a fundamental human right, lumping it in with staples like food and shelter,” the DTH reported. With this view, rights are positive entitlements to some good or service. The unmentioned corollary of positive rights is the obligation of someone to provide said rights; in the case of a right to health care, it becomes the duty of doctors and nurses, the producers of health care, to provide it. America was founded on the principle of negative rights, i.e., the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The only obligation of these rights is to not interfere in another’s exercise of their rights. It is the principle of negative, i.e., individual rights, explicitly recognized by our founders, that has distinguished America from all other countries. Positive rights, by their nature, negate individual rights and enslave the producers of “rights” to the non-producers. Rep. Price’s view on rights is wrong, dangerous, and contradicts the ideas of nobler statesmen like John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. James A. Wadsworth President Carolina Objectivist Forum
