DKE put on social probation Found to have violated policies twice

city | page 3 COCAINE DETAILS Search warrant information reveals more details in Chapel Hill’s cocaine investigation.

The Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity received one year of social probation and a review that could endanger its charter as punishment for violations in late August and mid-September.

The fraternity pled guilty to violating alcohol and safety policies at two parties this semester, one the night of former fraternity President Courtland Smith’s death.

The Greek Judicial Board issued the stiff penalties partly in response to what it considered the fraternity’s “disrespect for the seriousness of the judicial process.”

The chapter failed to comply with sanctions from a fire code violation last year and accrued

two more violations less than three weeks after Smith’s death while under investigation for the Aug. 22 party.

The judicial board’s decision notes the fraternity’s “extensive” record with the board, including alcohol violations in August 2007 and September 2005.

In addition to the punishments set out by the judicial board, Delta Kappa Epsilon also adopted several self-imposed sanctions.

These include the donation of the chapter’s yearly social budget and 500 community service hours to complete the Courtland B e n j a m i n S m i t h Me m o r i a l Habitat for Humanity House.

They will also sponsor a substance abuse awareness plan.

The judicial board noted the thoughtfulness with which the fraternity considered its self-imposed sanctions, saying its suggestions were appropriate to help the chapter learn from its mistakes and help the Greek community move forward.

Under social probation, the fraternity will not be allowed to hold formal and informal social gatherings, mixers, cocktails, tailgates or alumni events. The ruling also shortens the organization’s new member pledge period.

Fraternity members stressed that while probation isn’t something they’re excited about, they’re eager to take a leadership role on issues in the Greek community.

“Our main priority and focus is on improving DKE life, the Courtland Smith memorial house, and the drug awareness program,”

said Patrick Fleming, co-president of the fraternity and Daily Tar Heel editorial board member.

The ruling, issued Friday, says the Fraternity and Sorority Standards Review Board will do a review of the chapter. It has the authority to remove the organization’s UNC recognition.

The standards board will bring together members of the fraternity’s alumni network, national organization, local chapter and University administration to evaluate the “health and well-being” of the chapter’s community service, pledging practices, violations and other aspects.

But fraternity leaders said they are working hard to change the character of the organization and the Greek community in general.

“We want to be the leaders of positive reform within the UNC

Greek system and help to foster a more constructive relationship with the University,” the fraternity said in a written statement.

The judicial board began its investigation after administrators visited the fraternity house the morning after Smith’s death.

Smith was seen at the party about four hours before he was killed by a police officer near Greensboro early Aug. 23.

Administrators said there was evidence of a party involving alcohol the night before and instructed the judicial board to investigate the matter.

The arrest of five current or former students has heightened awareness of cocaine use at UNC, but statistics show that illegal drug abuse is not widespread among students.

Still, members of the campus community say survey results might not tell the whole story, and many have conflicting opinions about the pervasiveness of cocaine and other illegal drugs.

A survey released in June by the American College Health Association found that 5.3 percent of UNC students admitted using cocaine. That number is almost a quarter of those who admitted to using marijuana.

The survey asked 572 UNC students how frequently they used a variety of both legal and illegal substances.

While the statistics paint a picture of limited drug use on campus, community members say the amount of drug use is always changing.

Dorothy Bernholz, director of UNC Student Legal Services and a staff attorney, described cocaine usage at UNC as “cyclical,” with times when cocaine is more prevalent at the University than others.

Effects of cocaine on the body When cocaine is used, it produces a euphoric effect. Shortly after cocaine is ingested, the user may experience the following symptoms: Constricted blood vessels Dilated pupils Increased body temperature Increased heart rate Higher blood pressure The euphoric period can last up to 30 minutes and the user will experience hyperstimulation, reduced fatigue and mental alertness. However, some users also experience restlessness, irritability, and anxiety. Users who abuse cocaine regularly often experience paranoid psychosis, which produces auditory hallucinations and a disconnection with reality.

bridge the gap Want to fix ties with University By eliza kern

Assistant university editor

A growing negative perception of fraternity life has prompted Greek leaders to push for reforms to improve their relationship with the University and highlight the benefits of their system.

It is these leaders’ hopes that their efforts will allow the positive aspects of the system to become the focus of public attention.

Administrators have indicated that they have reached the end of their tolerance and that chapters will need to change their ways if they want to survive. Greek leaders have responded with a willingness to meet the University halfway.

Delta Kappa Epsilon co-president Patrick Fleming, also a member of The Daily Tar Heel’s editorial board, released a statement Monday indicating his fraternity’s desire to be leaders of reform within the system.

“We realize that a serious disconnect has developed between the Greek community and the University in recent years,” he wrote. “The brothers of DKE want to be leaders in helping to bridge that divide and foster a more positive and constructive relationship with the University.”

3 agree to advise Fixed-term faculty role is hazy YWC, saving group

By Nick Andersen Senior WRiter

Thorp asks faculty to step in, help

By Andrew HarrelL Assistant University Editor

Student group Youth for Western Civilization has been bolstered by three new faculty advisers only days after its previous adviser stepped down at Chancellor Holden Thorp’s request.

The three new advisers — two who took the job after being asked

by Thorp — cement YWC’s place at UNC after months of questioning whether it could find a sponsor.

Friday’s resignation of previous adviser and retired psychology professor Elliot Cramer left the group with 30 days to find a new one before losing its official group status.

Former sponsor Chris Clemens, an astronomy professor, and Jon Curtis, director of student groups and organizations, will replace him after being asked by Thorp.

Physics professor Hugon Karwowski volunteered as the third faculty adviser. Karwowski was moved to action — and Clemens

said outrage — after Cramer resigned at Thorp’s request.

Cramer responded to brochures Friday protesting YWC that included his home address by joking in an e-mail to Thorp and two students that he had a gun and knows how to use it. Thorp called Cramer’s gun comments “highly inappropriate” and asked him to step down.

The three new advisers will provide counsel to a group of about 10 current student members.

Despite its small size, the organization gained national attention and created a local shouting match about free speech in April when students protested two anti-illegal immigration speakers on campus.

Once he learned of Cramer’s resignation, chapter president Nikhil Patel approached Clemens with the prospect of rejoining.

Clemens suggested a group of faculty to Thorp as the answer to YWC’s turnover problems. Clemens

Each fall for the past 13 years, David Adamson has wondered if he’s going to get his job at UNC back.

As a part-time professor in the department of dramatic art, he has to consistently renew his one-year contract, a task that makes it difficult for him to make long-term career plans.

Adamson is part of a growing number of fixed-term faculty employed at UNC and universities across the country, hired to bring in professional expertise and keep academic costs down.

“People in my position are a bargain for the University,” he said.

As the number of fixed-term faculty members has grown, so has the need to clarify these sometimes hazy positions. Administrators have said they are going to place a high value on reforming the way they deal with these roles throughout discussions this year.

Fixed-term faculty members, or non-tenure track faculty, are employees whose appointment is dependent on contractual terms for limited periods of time.

These contracts can be and usually are reinstated.

Of the roughly 3,000 faculty members at the University, more than 1,190 are defined as fixedterm.

Due to a reporting error, Friday’s front-page story, “Police expose more cocaine,” misstated how much cocaine police said was found at 211 Church St. Police reported 76.8 grams of cocaine were found there.

Due to an editing error, Monday’s front-page brief “Pirates sunk” misstated the number of yards freshman Erik Highsmith gained in Saturday’s football game. He earned 113 yards.

The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for the errors.

DaiLY DOSe Bikini saves boyfriend

A

From staff and wire reports

Michigan college student had his life saved after he tumbled down a waterfall, bashed his head on rocks and landed facedown in a small pool of water.

His girlfriend, a senior nursing student, saved his life by giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, removing her bikini and bandaging his head, then carrying his 160-pound body down a hill that took 45 minutes to climb. He fell in love hard.

NOTED. Forty workers at a pizza-making factory in Ireland went on strike because three co-workers were fired for allegedly viewing pornography.

The pizza company said that three of its workers lost their jobs when they viewed “adult material.” Workers claimed they had only received an unwanted e-mail.

Siren Test Today The University will test the sirens and text messages Tuesday, September 22 between noon and 1 PM.

SIRENS SOUND ONLY IN A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY • An armed and dangerous person is on or near campus.

• A major chemical spill or hazard has been reported.

• A tornado has been sighted.

WHAT TO DO • Go inside immediately.

• Close windows and doors.

• Stay until further notice.

In an emergency, sirens will also broadcast short voice messages. When the threat is over, the sirens will sound again with a different tone to announce: “All clear. Resume normal activities.”

If the sirens sound, you’ll also receive an emergency text message if you signed up. These are just two ways UNC communicates in an emergency.

System has evolved with test results

Staff Writer

Attorney General’s staff is looking for new members Applications are now being accepted for Student Attorney General Scott Gallisdorfer’s staff.

Members of the staff are responsible for investigating potential violations of the Honor Code, representing and prosecuting accused students in Honor Court and ensuring they have a fair hearing.

The Student Attorney General is the head of student government’s judicial branch. UNC is one of the few universities in the nation with a completely student-run Honor System.

Applications, due Sept. 28, are now available at honor.unc.edu.

The University will test its emergency sirens today between noon and 1 p.m. as part of the safety awareness campaign Alert Carolina.

The campaign, which strives to be the go-to information source for the UNC community in times of crisis, has evolved since its conception in March 2008.

In response to test results and actual emergencies on campus, the system has expanded how it reaches people and when it is used.

Today’s siren test will be an indicator of Alert Carolina’s efforts to

maintain visibility at UNC and guage campus response.

“The face of the campus community is always changing,” said Randy Young, spokesman for UNC’s Department of Public Safety. “We test every semester to make sure the community understands what Alert Carolina is and how to work with it.”

Patty Courtright, director of internal communications in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement, said Alert Carolina managers also use the tests to improve the system.

“Every time we test, we learn a little bit more about it,” she said.

“We’re always trying to get better.”

Initial launch Alert Carolina first launched as a way to improve campus safety less than a year after the shooting at Virginia Tech.

The system consisted of four sirens spread across campus. Young said initial program tests revealed some serious coverage issues, with some areas of campus reporting that the sirens weren’t audible.

Since those first tests, the campaign has added a new siren on North Campus to fill those holes.

The program also upgraded siren tones to make them distin-

System test today: The five emergency sirens will be tested between noon and 1 p.m. The sirens should be heard outdoors on and around campus, including downtown Chapel Hill.

The sirens are not meant to be heard indoors.

No action is needed today. In a true emergency, people should go inside.

Test text messages will also be sent to roughly 33,000 registered cell phone numbers.

Hear what the alert siren and all-clear siren will sound like at alertcarolina.unc.edu.

The warrant states that during the week of Sept.

6, somebody told Chapel Hill narcotics investigators that two people were selling cocaine out of 211 Church Street, apartment C-4.

20s who goes by the nickname “J-Ply” and a white woman in her early 20s named Eliza Vaughan, according to the warrant.

After investigating the nickname “J-Ply” further, investigators showed Plymale’s photograph to the informant, who identified him. Later the next week, the informant identified Vaughan from a photograph, the warrant states.

In the same week, investigators sent the informant to purchase cocaine from the apartment, the warrant states.

The purchase was controlled — meaning the informant was searched before entering apartment C-4 and then given money to purchase drugs. Police observed the person entering and exiting the apartment, the warrant states.

The informant came back with cocaine, which the informant said was purchased from “J-Ply.” Vaughan was present and witnessed

Senate prepares Obama pressured for health care bill to increase troops WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — The sweeping health care bill coming before the Senate Finance Committee today has come under fire from both the left and the right, making it likely to be significantly redrawn by the time the panel votes on the measure later this week.

Finance C hairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., will respond to some of those criticisms at the outset of committee debate with a proposal to add some $28 billion to the $774 billion bill — mostly to ensure affordable coverage for families of modest means.

Most of these fixed-term faculty are part of the School of Medicine in high-paying and highly skilled positions that provide easy opportunities for transition to employment outside the University. But the same guarantees don’t necessarily extend to faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences.

“We would like fixed-term faculty members to treat their positions here as a long-term, rewarding career path,” said Ron Strauss, executive associate provost.

Those rising numbers are common in research universities across

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — President Obama came under increased pressure Monday to define his strategy for Afghanistan following publication of a confidential report from the U.S. battlefield commander there insisting that Obama commit more troops or the U.S. mission will fail.

How Obama handles the political crosscurrents of this decision on whether to deepen or lessen America’s involvement in an 8-year-old war could be among the most fateful for his presidency — and among the most telling about how he governs. the country, according to the 2009 book, “Off-Track Profs: Nontenured Teachers in Higher Education,” by John Cross and Edie Goldenberg.

“Fixed-term faculty are growing as a percentage of total faculty faster than those on the tenure track,” said Goldenberg, a tenured professor in the political science department at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

One major reason for bringing non-tenured faculty members is to save money. Often these faculty members do not work enough hours to receive benefits and can have their positions cut when contracts expire.

But the increased presence of

ing,” Bernholz said. “There’s always been drug use associated with the student population.”

Since the survey simply asked students to be honest about their drug experience, it might not be an accurate assessment of use.

Students and administrators have different perceptions of how pervasive drugs are among students, as well as which corners of the University deal with them the most.

The Greek community has faced particular scrutiny because three of the five people arrested Sept. 15 had ties to Greek organizations.

Jonathan Ray Plymale, 22, of Greensboro and Eliza McQuail Vaughan, 21, of Nags Head were charged with trafficking and cocaine possession with intent to distribute after police found them with about 77 grams of cocaine, according to Chapel Hill police reports.

Police found an additional 121 grams at Plymale’s apartment at these faculty members is due to a variety of factors, Goldenberg said, extending beyond the simple issue of budgets.

“For artistic departments, such as music, drama, creative writing and the like that like to have people with professional experience, fixedterm, part-time faculty members can bring expertise, even if they aren’t interested in being full-time professors,” Goldenberg said.

As recently as 10 years ago, fixed-term faculty were often not treated as an active part of the College of Arts and Sciences, said Bill Andrews, associate dean for the fine arts and humanities. But as their numbers and length of service has risen, the need for further recognition of their contributions has grown.

Progress has been made in recent years, professors said.

Fixed-term faculty members can now participate in the Faculty Council if they meet certain employment criteria. They also are eligible for health and retirement benefits if they work an appropriate number of hours.

Administrators said at a recent Faculty Council executive committee meeting that they expect to make permanent a preexisting fixed-term committee within the Faculty Council.

But an overall problem for fixedterm faculty is a lack of definition of their positions within the larger framework of the University, sev-

107 Fraternity Court following the arrest, reports state. The building, not an official fraternity, houses Sigma Alpha Epsilon members and is located next to fraternity houses.

Two other people, Julianne Kornegay Howard, 19, of Greensboro and Hugh Graham Jones, 22, of Chapel Hill, were charged with felony possession of less than two grams of cocaine, reports state. Howard listed her address on the reports as the Chi Omega sorority house.

Paige Wilcox, a senior from Charlotte and former member of the Chi Omega sorority, said she never witnessed cocaine use among the members of her sorority.

“Honestly, I never saw anyone do coke the whole time I was in Chi O,” Wilcox said. “I never came across it.”

Some students have different perceptions. “I wouldn’t straightup associate it with the Greeks,” said Camile Jones, a sophomore from Marietta, Ga. But she added that she had heard students had eral administrators said.

Often there is inconsistency between departments — sometimes titles used across the board don’t always come with the same responsibilities and roles.

“We assembled an absolutely bewildering list of titles during our research,” Goldenberg said.

In some graduate schools, such as the School of Medicine, roles are clearly defined for each title.

But the same level of consistency doesn’t apply to all departments.

Faculty Chairwoman McKay Coble, once a fixed-term faculty member, has made clarifying their roles and reforming the promotion process a major focus.

“There’s been a national trend towards clarity in regards to fixedterm faculty,” Coble said. “The question now is, how can we reward these extraordinary and essential people in every department?”

For Adamson, there’s no question of his role in the department.

This fall, he serves as the director of undergraduate studies in the department of dramatic art.

But he would appreciate more clarity and consistency in his position — and a little more job security.

“I would like more work, more hours,” he said. “But as an actor, I’m used to going from job to job.

“That’s the deal we signed at the beginning when we decided to act.”

The Daily Tar Heel used cocaine at Greek parties.

Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Winston Crisp said the issue is not confined to the Greek community and is fairly widespread.

“I think it is an issue across the student body,” Crisp said. “I think certain areas get more attention from the media.”

While numbers show that use might not be widespread, authorities said students do use drugs.

“I would say that drug possession cases in general, without get-

ting into the specifics about the kind of drug, are not uncommon to see in the Honor System,” said Scott Gallisdorfer, the undergraduate student attorney general.

According to the UNC Honor System’s Web site, possession of schedule I or II narcotics, including cocaine, results in a minimum punishment of a semester-long suspension. The sale of these drugs results in immediate expulsion.

Greeks

“We are now in a climate where there is an absolute expectation that aspects of Greek life must and need to change,” he said. “Right now, there is more attention and less tolerance from the community in general.”

Fraternity members said they have been frustrated by the negative press surrounding the system.

“It’s unfortunate that so many eyes are on us because of the negative,” Blonkvist said. “This is an opportunity for us to show the positive, that we are working.”

But he said he does not want the system’s relationship with the University to be characterized as one that is just now being formed.

IFC President Charlie Winn also said the relationship is sound.

“It’s been a tough first semester, but it’s a system that’s been working, and we want it to continue working,” he said.

Jenny Levering, assistant dean of students for fraternity and sorority life, said her office has not altered its relationship with the chapters.

from page 1

Brent Blonkvist, vice president for internal affairs for the Interfraternity Council, said the Greek system is changing.

“I think you can see that we want more of a real relationship,” he said.

“We have a desire to start taking responsibility for our actions.”

In recent years, the system has received negative attention for incidents of hazing, underage drinking, drug and alcohol abuse and safety violations. Incidents this semester have further exacerbated existing tensions.

Winston Crisp, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said that misconduct by a small part of the Greek system overshadows the positive aspects of the organization.

“There are 28,000 students on campus, and the vast majority are not endangering themselves or others,” he said. “And it’s the same with the Greek community. It’s a small minority who aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be.”

Crisp also said the public’s tolerance of misconduct is decreasing.

stepped down from the position in June, citing not enough time to deal with the scrutiny focused on the national organization.

“I’m only willing to do it because there are other people who can take some of the load,” Clemens said.

He and Curtis both said they weren’t nervous about the local attention YWC had garnered.

“I think those brochures and the more outrageous protests do not reflect the value of Carolina students in general,” Clemens said.

He added that he can’t remember any other group to have such quick adviser turnover or three positions at once.

Last week, Thorp said the University would be better prepared for the next time people protest YWC events.

Senior Haley Koch, who was arrested for protesting a YWC speech in April but had the case dismissed, responded by saying protestors would find more creative approaches to voicing their dissent.

Yates and Searcy head home for game Georgia natives excited for Yellow Jackets

By Powell Latimer SPorts Editor

For many members of the No. 22 North Carolina football team, Saturday’s win against East Carolina was a rivalry game.

But for quarterback T.J. Yates and safety Da’Norris Searcy, the rivalry game isn’t until this weekend.

When the Tar Heels take the field at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday, it will be a homecoming for Georgia natives like Yates and Searcy.

“For me, I’m from Georgia, so to beat the hometown team would be great for me,” Searcy said.

“Half of those guys I grew up with, playing Little League. We didn’t go to the same high school, but we’d see each other’s highlights on Fox channels down there. We used to call each other every night saying, ‘Do your job.’”

Georgia Tech’s running back and 2008 ACC Player of the Year Jonathan Dwyer spent his high school years at Carlton J. Kell High School in Marietta, Ga., where he was often pitted against Pope High School and their quarterback, Yates.

But when asked if he was recruited by the Yellow Jackets,

Yates responded with a quiet “no” and a cryptic smile.

If Yates feels any chagrin toward Georgia Tech, it can only be further chafed by the fact that North Carolina hasn’t won at Bobby Dodd Stadium since 1997.

It didn’t help matters that just two years ago in Atlanta, Georgia Tech capped a late-game comeback with a field goal with 15 seconds remaining to beat UNC, 27-25.

“We kind of let one slip away from us a little bit two years ago down there,” Yates said. “We kind of had the game and let it go. But as opposed to two years ago when we went down there, we’re such a better team, offense, defense, special teams, so I think we’re going to put a better team on the field.”

In its latest bid to break that streak, UNC brings a top-25 ranking and a veteran defense into the contest Saturday. To boot, the Tar Heels managed to shut down Georgia Tech last season in Chapel Hill and win 28-7.

But, at least for Searcy, the return to his old stomping grounds will be as much about the homecoming as the rivalry he feels.

Searcy turned down a scholarship offer from Georgia Tech to try

“They offered me, but I wanted to leave the state of Georgia because I’ve been there my whole life,” he said. “You can always go back home, but it’s nice to get away.”

Searcy will have plenty of chances to both enjoy being home and show up his old high school rivals.

As UNC’s main punt returner, Searcy is averaging 17.3 yards per return — good for sixth in the ACC thus far.

Historical bridal gowns now on display

New UNC Web site chosen after a year of work

By emily may

Staff writer

Staff Writer

A vanilla dress with an empire waist and lace detail accompanied two Orange County brides down the aisle.

Hurdle Mills resident Brenda Berry said she first wore the dress — which was handmade by her mother — in her own 1973 wedding. Her sister-in-law wore it in a wedding the following year.

“She tried my dress on, and because my mother made it, it was her ‘something borrowed,’” she said.

Now, the dress is displayed at the Orange County Historical Museum.

The exhibit offers visitors a chance to view dresses worn by Orange County brides and in some cases, created by residents themselves.

The “Orange County Brides” installment runs until early October.

Museum staff said the dresses represent wedding traditions ranging from Southern to Victorian, American Indian and African.

Darcie Martin, director of the museum, emphasized the exhibit’s historical focus.

“They’re not just pretty dresses,” she said. “Everything symbolizes something.”

Angie Chambers of Chapel Hill VISIT THE EXHIBIT said she sewed one of the exhibit’s Time: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday centerpieces for her daughter’s through Saturday and 1 p.m. to 4 1988 wedding.

The “Orange County Brides” exhibit, showcasing wedding dresses, will run at the Orange County Historical Museum until early October.

By Melvin Backman In a few months, visitors to UNC’s Web site will be greeted with news stories and user-submitted pictures and videos instead of bland blue links to academic departments.

The University unveiled the design for its new Web site Thursday, the result of more than a year’s worth of work.

The Board of Trustees will look at the final proposal at its meeting this week, and the site will switch over to the new design in four to six months.

The new Web site is more visual-

ly engaging than the old one, using a new content management system to better display news, photos and videos.

It will also let students, faculty members and campus groups post their own content.

In addition to multimedia elements, the new site will give more prominence to stories about UNC achievements for visitors unfamiliar with the school.

News stories, even major accomplishments, used to be posted on a sidebar and a separate news site.

The site will also display a more modern design, said Scott Jared, Web content director for the Office

of University Relations.

Some students who have seen the new design proposal said it’s an improvement.

“It looks like it’ll be easier to get around on the site,” said junior Corynn Loebs.

Numerous peer institutions, including Duke University, have redesigned their Web sites in recent years.

The University spent about $350,000 to hire Capstrat, a Raleigh communications company, to handle the redesign, Jared said.

Capstrat has worked with UNC in the past, designing a Web site for the School of Pharmacy and direct-

ing communication strategy for the UNC Health Care system.

Web designers also created a blog in April to keep readers informed of the overhaul process and to solicit feedback about potential features and designs.

It has had more than 10,000 page views since its launch.

Earlier this semester, the blog showcased two finalist designs.

Web designers stuck with one of the proposals and modified it based on feedback in order to create the final layout. uncredesign.wordpress.com

The Daily Tar Heel

Garden seeks Sculptures showcased in the gardens land to expand

By Gavin Hackeling Staff Writer

By Chad Royal Staff Writer

If the N.C. Botanical Garden doesn’t raise about $200,000 in forty days, it won’t be able to buy land to expand a nature preserve as planned.

The 5.6-acre tract of land is adjacent to the Stillhouse Bottom Na t u r e Pr e s e r v e . T h e N.C .

Botanical Garden has been interested in the land for about two years, said Johnny Randall, assistant director for the garden’s conservation programs.

T he garden plans to add the piece of land to the 17-acre Stillhouse Bottom area, which was given to the garden by Duke Power and James Eder, a partner in the Morgan Creek Land Company.

But the botanical garden’s option to buy expires on Oct. 31, Randall said.

“It’s critical for the conservation of this site,” Randall said. The property lies in the center of the preserve and is important for the entire site’s protection.

Julia Ivey, the owner of the land, offered it for $500,00 in 2007.

Ivey agreed to lower the price by $100,000 if the Botanical Garden Foundation could raise the remaining $400,000.

The garden has hosted two fundraisers and received other donations to help with the purchase.

So far, the garden has received $172,000, with pledges of $34,000 from the town of Chapel Hill and $100,000 from the Orange County Lands Legacy Program. They have also received about $18,000 in pri-

vate donations.

If the rest of the money is not raised by October, officials said they hope to extend the time they have to purchase the land, Randall said.

“This land is a beautiful, rich forest of many plant species,” said Peter White, director of the N.C. Botanical Garden.

He said the area is important to conserving biodiversity — it supports more than 100 plant species and provides a forest habitat for migrating birds.

The garden hopes to create a 65acre preserve, combining their land purchases with land donations.

The garden’s staff helps with the preservation of approximately 800 acres of land including Battle Park, Forest Theatre, Mason Farm Biological Reserve and other areas along Morgan Creek.

Do You Smoke?

Want to Quit?

Cigarette smokers are needed for a research study. Healthy, drug-free participants between the ages of 18-65 will be scheduled for a physical screening and 7-9 study visits.

The concentric aluminum bands of Frank Holder’s sculpture “Mandela of the Earth and Sky,” stand amid the ferns and wildflowers of the North Carolina Botanical Garden, like a machined version of the annual rings of a tree.

This sculpture is a part of the 21st annual “Sculpture in the Garden” exhibit, which displays art within the plant collections of the botanical garden, rather than on the sterile walls of a gallery.

“I would describe it as a very unique group of three dimensional art pieces that are made specifically to be viewed outdoors,” said Laura Cotterman, publications and publicity coordinator for the Botanical Garden.

The changing seasons introduce another dynamic to the viewing experience. The exhibit, which opened Sept. 12, runs through Nov. 15.

“The exhibit is designed to be viewed over a long period of time,” Cotterman said. “The gardens change over the course of the exhibit from late-summer to early fall.”

The juried exhibition features 40 pieces by 24 artists in various media, including clay, steel and stone.

This year pieces are made for the theme “celebrating life forces— earth, air, fire, water, spirit.”

Many of the works, such as Tinka Jordy’s “Lady in Yellow,” adopt the colors and textures of their surroundings. Other pieces are more abstract, but retain natural shapes and patterns in their compositions.

The pieces also ranged in scale.

Some, such as Madelyn Smoak’s “Metamorphosis de Medici” are small enough to be suspended with a few strands of wire.

Other works are massive and dominated their surroundings.

Reuvan Sadeh’s water-driven kinetic sculpture “Cycles of Life” towers over the plants around it.

“It’s one of our biggest draws,” said Grant Parkins, an educator at the botanical gardens. “People were very disappointed in 2008 when we didn’t have it.”

“Sculpture in the Garden” was not held last year due to the construction of new facilities.

To be eligible for the exhibit, artists must be at least 18 years old and have a connection to North Carolina.

The sculptures must not have been previously exhibited and need

Artist Margo Bennett’s sculpture, “Eye Gate,” is one of the pieces featured in the 21st annual “Sculpture in the Garden” at the N.C. Botanical Garden. The garden is now showcasing 40 pieces of work by 24 artists.

SEE THE SCULPTURES Time: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays; through Nov. 15 Location: N.C. Botanical Garden, 100 Old Mason Farm Road Info: www.ncbg.unc.edu

to be able to withstand exposure to the elements.

Garden officials said this is a good way to introduce people to the botanical gardens.

“It brings new people to the garden and lets people enjoy art and the garden in a different way,” Parkins said.

Artist Jeff Hackney won Best of Show in 2007 with his oversized swing sculpture “Remember.”

“The inspiration for ‘Remember’ came from the idea that everyone has a happy memory of being on a swing,” Hackney said in an e-mail.

He said that he had heard about the competition before and thought it was a perfect place to display.

An awards reception will be held for the current sculptures from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 4 on the patio behind the Totten Center.

Web site seeks to put research in public eye ‘Futurity’ displays campus projects

science at UNC News Services, said topics vary — from science, health and psychology to the economy, business and cultural studies.

The name “Futurity” literally means “things to follow,” specifically research in this case, and also is a combination of key words for the Web site: “future” and “university,” Leonard said.

The idea came from a conversation at an Association of American Universities meeting, she said.

“Nine months ago we were talking about how we can use the latest journalistic innovations to help people get information about the development of science and

Staff Writer

Universities have long looked to collaboration to improve research, but now they are also looking to improve public access to it.

UNC has joined Duke University, Stanford University and the University of Rochester, which have created a Web site to collect articles about research being conducted by major universities.

The Web site, called Futurity, was officially launched this month.

Members of the Association of American Universities, including UNC, were invited to participate

by submitting news stories about research done on their campuses.

“The world is becoming increasingly complex,” said Jenny Leonard, editor of Futurity and an assistant director at the University of Rochester.

“The significance of the Web site is to help the public stay engaged in what the nation’s major universities are finding about the world.”

The project is funded by individual universities. Each university had to contribute $2,000 before the Web site launched, and they all have personnel working full time for it, Leonard said.

Patric Lane, editor of health and

“The Web site is to help the public stay engaged in what the nation’s major universities are finding about the world.”

research on our campuses,” said Michael Schoenfeld, co-founder of the Web site and vice president for public affairs and government relations at Duke University.

“Then we thought, ‘What if we got the most well-known and highly-respected universities to publish their research in one place, available to the general public?’”

Once the Web site was officially launched, the university membership doubled, Leonard said.

About 35 universities are now using the Web site.

The co-founders split most of the responsibilities for maintaining the Web site, Schoenfeld said.

Lane said people can access the Web site on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Daily newsletter services

Jenny Leonard, Futurity Editor are also available.

“The Web site is actually very little additional work,” Lane said.

“We are not creating stories. We are just repurposing the already existing content.”

The existence of Futurity probably will not enhance new research, but it will make people more aware of the work being done by the major universities, Lane said.

Although only the 62 Association of American Universities members

can publish their news on the Web site, several overseas universities have shown interest in working with Futurity. Administrators are considering expanding their entry policy, Leonard said.

“Futurity will give us an opportunity to showcase our work and collaborate with our peer universities,” Lane said.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 9 - Everything’s going your way. Take advantage of these conditions and launch a new project. Follow your passion.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6 - Home has been kind of a sticky place to be for the past few days. Put off major decisions until this phase passes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 7 - You’ve done the work and you’ve got the cash. What will you do with it? Any answer other than “save” is wrong.

Strategist explains online efforts UNC establishes cinema minor

By Victoria Cook staff writer

Joe Trippi, Howard Dean’s 2004 campaign manager and John Edwards’ chief strategist in 2008, spoke to students Monday night about the intersection of technology and political campaigns.

His speech was much anticipated by members of UNC Young Democrats, who paid Trippi about $10,000 for his talk, said Young Democrats co-president Charlie Sellew.

Trippi raised significant amounts of campaign money through online donations when working for Dean and Edwards and was one of the first political workers to successfully use the Internet to connect candidates and voters.

Trippi said today’s generation of students are a far more technologically savvy generation than their parents were.

“You were born with this stuff in your hands and know how to use it,” he said.

Trippi said when he first started working in politics, it was more difficult to connect the voting population with the candidates, but that Web sites such as Facebook and YouTube have changed that.

“Have you ever heard that it’s

the economy, stupid? … It’s the network, stupid,” he said.

When working for Dean’s campaign, Trippi worked to create DeanTV, a Web site that accepted user submissions.

It had 190,000 users who posted videos, songs and other forms of support for Dean. Trippi said he considered it a prelude to YouTube.

After a question and answer session following the speech, a student asked why Dean lost the presidential race if his campaign was at the forefront of technology.

“The Internet didn’t lose the campaign. The campaign lost the campaign,” Trippi replied.

The Obama campaign, which was so successful at mobilizing voters through online resources, benefitted from Trippi’s work with Dean’s campaign, he said.

“He could go to school on everything we messed up on,” Trippi said.

Trippi then shifted into current politics, giving his own version of Obama’s inaugural address and rewording it to reflect his view that it would take the entire nation’s support to pass health care legislation.

You’re going to pass it,” he said.

Junior political science major Alissa Ellis said she was interested to hear from Trippi in light of the recent scandal involving Edwards.

But Trippi was reluctant to discuss his work with the former senator and presidential candidate.

“I thought it was interesting how

he tactfully avoided talking about the John Edwards scandal,” Ellis said.

Trippi said he hoped the students would leave with the message to take initiative to enact social and political reform.

“Be the change,” he said.

Prominent saxophonist jazzes up UNC Original improv music performed

By Kavya SEkar Staff Writer

As a teenager he played saxophone amongst famous musicians such as Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk in Harlem. Now, Sonny Rollins is one of the last living musicians of the golden age in American jazz.

A famous tenor saxophonist, Rollins will play tonight in Memorial Hall as part of the Carolina Performing Arts season.

James Ketch, the director of jazz studies at UNC and the introductory speaker for the concert, said that Rollins is one of the greats.

“His fearless manner of improvising ­— of playing ‘in the moment’ — avoiding any references to clichés, has earned him a place of high respect among fellow artists, critics and aficionados,” Ketch said.

Rollins is famous for his improvisational jazz, or playing without preparation. Over a repeating cycle of chord changes, the artist creates spontaneous melodies.

“He lives for the ‘dance of improvising,’” Ketch said. “He freely jumps off the musical cliff with less of a safety net below him than perhaps any other living artist.”

Ketch said the audience should pay attention to interactions between Rollins, his drummer and his pianist to better understand the artist’s technique.

“Jazz music is a conversational

dialogue where constant negotiations are underway with the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and emotional landscape,” he said.

Many of Rollins’ compositions have been recorded hundreds of times by various artists.

Despite the vast proliferation of his work, the music he plays tonight will likely have an original twist, because so much of his music involves improvisation.

And the concert has something to offer everyone, not just those who understand all the nuances of jazz music.

Director of Carolina Performing Arts Emil Kang said he expects the performance to be a great introduction for those unfamiliar with jazz, by an artist who really changed the landscape of the genre.

“He’s very much one of these guys that performs for audiences,” Kang said. “Every show, every season is completely different from one another.”

Although fame came early for Rollins, he has been celebrated in recent history. Rollins has received two Grammys in the past decade, along with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 2004. Rollins was also instated into the Academy of Achievement in 2006.

For UNC, this is a rare oppor-

“He is 79 years old and it’s, for us, an honor to have him come visit,” he said.

Rollins also performed at UNC in 2001.

“For our community to have a chance to hear him again, as we don’t know how much longer he’ll be around, is going to be a great honor,” Kang said.

UNC now offers a five-course, interdisciplinary minor in cinema to give students a basic understanding of film and its applications to other academic disciplines.

Rich Cante, a communication studies professor and director of the new program, has been working with other faculty members for the past five years to establish the minor.

“It took time to figure out how to do it in a solid and innovative way,” he said. “We are getting outside of how film studies is taught in traditional programs.”

Cante estimates that more than 100 students have expressed interest in the program. The first group of students to graduate with the minor will do so in May. He said UNC is one of the few research institutions without a similar program.

“We don’t want students to be at a disadvantage,” Cante said.

The minor is composed of courses in multiple departments. The University does not offer a film major.

“Students who are interested in this field are better served with this minor along with a major, and then perhaps another program. We think this offers a more up-to-date, forward-looking structure,” Cante said.

Students in the minor are required to take one of three prerequisite courses. All students then must take a course on global cinema.

“We want to open up all sorts of interesting connections across disciplines for students, to expose them to interdisciplinary contradictions and to demonstrate why both are particularly important to the future of cinema,” Cante said.

Kate St. John, a freshman from Pinehurst who said she was interested in pursuing the minor, said she felt the minor is an important program to have on campus.

“Cinema is a medium that is often overlooked,” she said. “It has only been in existence for 100 years, but it is still very much an important medium.”

St. John said she first learned about the program when her adviser mentioned it at summer orientation.

‘Mad Women’ and the pay gap

T

his Sunday, AMC’s “Mad Men” won its second consecutive Emmy for best drama series. For those unfamiliar, “Mad Men” chronicles the goings-on in a New York ad agency in the 1960s; millions tune in each week to see the staff of Sterling Cooper plan pitches, chain smoke, pinch secretary fannies and barrel unaware toward some of the greatest cultural shifts in history.

The show seems to be set in a charming time that belongs to our parents and grandparents.

Viewers may tune in for the fashion, the martinis or Jon Hamm in a gray flannel suit, but I watch for the reminder of the opportunities we almost didn’t have.

When my mother went to her high school guidance counselor in 1964, she was given three choices for a career: a nurse, a teacher or a secretary. Or she could get married. “That’s just how it was,” she says now.

My mom was the vice president of the student council in high school but didn’t run for president because, well, girls didn’t run for president. That’s just how it was. She was on the cheerleading squad because that was the only athletic option for girls. That’s just how it was.

Looking at our campus today, it’s hard to imagine a time when Tobin Heath couldn’t play soccer or Jasmin Jones couldn’t be student body president. But only a generation ago, “that’s just how it is” was just how it was.

Over three seasons on “Mad Men,” the character Peggy Olson has moved from secretary to junior copywriter to writer, yet is still paid less than her male counterparts.

On a recent episode, she informs her boss of a little something known as the Equal Pay Act of 1963. “I’m paid very little,” she says calmly and confidently.

“They’ve passed a law where women who do the same work as men will get paid the same thing.

Equal pay.” His response? “It’s not a good time.”

This abnormality seems as vintage as her flip hairdo and A-line skirt. Yet according to a study released two years ago by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation, after one year out of college, women working full time earn 80 percent of what men earn. After a decade, it drops another 11 percentage points.

Obviously, various factors play into these numbers, including choices of occupation and time taken off for child-rearing. But the point remains: Even today, even with almost 60 percent of the UNC’s student population being women, even with women heading up everything from construction crews to the U.S. House of Representatives, women on average are not paid the same as men.

When denied her raise and asked what she really wants, Peggy replies, “I look around and I think: I want what [you] had.

You have everything and you have so much of it.”

Both men and women benefit from having strong women as mothers, colleagues and partners.

To whom much has been given, much is expected. We cannot forget those who made the changes toward the betterment of our opportunities and who continue seeking equality for those who come after us.

The next time you sit down with your mother or grandmother or professor, ask them how things were back in their “Mad Men” days.

You may first covet their closets, but hopefully it is their courage you’ll want to wear around more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Criticism of Greek system is misguided, often wrong

Stop acting like children

B

Both sides to blame in perpetuating the continuing controversy surrounding YWC

oth sides in the seemingly never-ending controversy over Youth for Western Civilization need to grow up.

It seemed like this debacle would be over when protestor Haley Koch’s case was dismissed. Then it seemed it would be over when Chancellor Holden Thorp reimbursed YWC for its expenses in hosting former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo.

But on Friday, brochures were anonymously distributed around campus, listing the then-YWC adviser’s home address — showing just how low the “debate” on the topic has sunk.

YWC president Nikhil Patel sent an e-mail to then-YWC adviser and professor emeritus Elliot Cramer, alerting him to the fliers and what he perceived as a threat.

Cramer responded, “I have

a Colt 45 and I know how to use it. I used to be able to hit a quarter at 50 feet 7 times out of 10.” He sent that e-mail to several people including Patel, Thorp and Koch.

The e-mail did not sit well with Thorp, and he asked Cramer to resign.

Thorp made the right decision; Cramer’s e-mail was outof-line. Koch said she saw the e-mail as threatening. And such behavior is unbecoming of a student group adviser.

T he adviser ’s response crossed a line. Those anonymous brochures were over the top as well.

But Cramer’s response and resignation also highlights the inane tactics of the people that have garnered UNC, protestors and YWC negative national attention.

Any group obviously has the right to criticize anyone. But it is irresponsible and cowardly to

criticize fellow citizens anonymously. People should own up to their speech and give others a chance to respond.

It’s easy to criticize YWC and anyone associated with that group. We know who they are and how to contact them.

But we can’t criticize — and YWC can’t respond to — these critics of YWC because no one knows who they are.

Criticizing anonymously doesn’t do anything to promote discussion. It just creates a circus of threats, yelling matches and stupidity.

This by no means excuses Cramer’s response. But it shouldn’t surprise anyone that emotional actions are rebutted with emotional responses.

The publishers need to come forward and own up to their speech, and YWC should just ignore any future criticism that doesn’t have a name attached to it.

Curb your enrollment

F

Board of Governors is right to shift priorities

or years, the UNC-system Board of Governors had indicated that increasing enrollment is the number one priority for system schools.

But recent data indicate that some schools within the system have graduation and retention rates well below their peers.

We’re glad that the board is now focusing on increasing overall educational quality.

Pending approval by the N.C. General Assembly, state funding will soon be partially tied to freshmen retention and six-year graduation rates.

No doubt, the mission of UNC-system schools is to serve the people of North Carolina.

But schools also have a mission to provide for their own students, ensuring each is able to thrive academically.

It’s a fine balance that has

tipped too far toward inefficiency.

The board’s proposed funding scheme is tied to results.

This provides an incentive for schools to focus on educational quality. Schools would receive funding for academic performance and retention rates, not for simply enrolling more students.

To offset admittance difficulties, educational administrators will encourage students who are unprepared for fouryear universities to enroll in community college.

Community colleges are often a viable option for these students and several programs make it easy to transfer to a four-year university as a junior.

For instance, UNC-Chapel Hill partners with Alamance

Community College, Durham Te c h n i c a l C o m m u n i t y College and Wake Technical Community College to provide scholarships and guaranteed admission to high-achieving, qualified students who have completed an associate degree at one of these colleges.

And these types of programs work.

Transfer students from Durham Technical Community College perform better on average at UNC-Chapel Hill as juniors than students who enrolled in the University as freshmen.

The Board of Governors is right to shift its focus for UNC-system schools. Quantity does not always translate into quality.

And now, they are doing something about it.

Congratulations Hard work pays o≠ for Carolina Latino Collaborative

T

he growing number of Latino students on campus have reason to celebrate with the launch of the Carolina Latino Collaborative.

And the people involved deserve credit for years of hard work culminating with the opening of the center.

A center for Latino students has been in the works for roughly three years, and after tough questions and meetings with administration officials, the project has been realized.

The result is an official hub, located in Craige North, for unifying the many diverse Latino groups on campus.

Offices and workspace were made available as a result of a

task force’s work.

The collaborative has a number of goals, including unifying Latino groups around campus, aiding the University’s Latino studies minor and connecting with other minority and advocacy groups.

With those ideas in mind, it’s clear that an office space was warranted, especially given the struggle over the last few years to bring it to life.

But student groups for minorities shouldn’t assume that facilities are now a given.

This group fought, made proposals, held meetings, fought some more and got the administration involved over the course of three years

to get this far.

That’s an incredible sign of dedication and effort.

North Carolina has a booming Latino population, and this center marks a recognition of the increasing importance this group has.

That isn’t to say other groups haven’t done anything worth mentioning.

This one just had a specific goal in mind, got the ball rolling most effectively and stuck with it to fruition.

Having a center like this allows for better communication on important issues and we hope the Carolina Latino Collaborative is successful in its initiatives.

TO THE EDITOR: Monday’s front page article, “Crisp tells Greeks to shape up,” (Sept. 21) was at best a baseless attack on the Greek system.

After the unfortunate and untimely death of Courtland Smith, UNC’s Greek system has been heavily criticized by nonaffiliated students and faculty alike.

What nobody seems keen to mention is the fact that drinking and drug abuse are prominent problems on any campus in our country.

Winston Crisp, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, admitted that, “We know it’s not all connected with Greek life, but by and large, the perception is that it’s connected.”

Continuing to perpetuate that perception to a group of future Greek students will only further strain the relationship between fraternities and the University.

The front page article briefly brings up the topic of the recent cocaine arrests made on campus, and once again makes a point to note that “some” of the students involved were Greek students.

T here were also alumni and non-affiliated students involved. Should we begin to cut ties with our alumni relations as well?

If the University wishes to maintain a strong relationship with a large portion of its students, it needs to realize that making defamatory accusations against the Greek system will do nothing but cause larger rifts and could stand to greatly weaken UNC financially and with future alumni leadership.

Now is the time for the University to come together with the fraternity and sorority system of UNC and build not only a stronger, healthier Greek system, but a stronger University.

Brandon Wolfe Sophomore Economics

From group’s president: YWC isn’t racist, radical TO THE EDITOR: I was recently shown a flier saying, “Why is your professor supporting white supremacy?”

There are a few issues in it that I (an, intriguingly, non-white, non-conservative person) as the president of the UNC Youth for Western Civilization chapter should address: YWC is not about white supremacy.

Last time I checked, Professor Longhair, Spike Lee, and Langston Hughes were the foundation for many aspects of American (thus Occidental) culture. Though it seems that by the logic of those who criticize us, if you’re not white, you’re not part of Western civilization.

Marcus Epstein was never a member of YWC and professor Chris Clemens did not quit as the YWC adviser due to ideological differences.

But such facts aren’t important. YWC is not anti-immigration; it is anti-illegal immigration. Small difference.

to be dealt with, but both the right and the left have resorted to simply shouting at each other.

“Racist” is now a catch-all, ad hominem attack, akin to calling President Obama a communist or Nazi.

This yelling match is the very reason the ancient academics thought democracy would not work: It’s basically two groups of chimpanzees throwing their own feces at each other (gilded feces, maybe, but feces nonetheless). Please ruminate this with some vigor.

Finally, if you wish to attack or address YWC, contact me.

I would appreciate if no one bothered former YWC adviser Elliot Cramer at his home.

DTH unfair to play up the Greek angle with arrests TO THE EDITOR: This fall, The Daily Tar Heel has put a lot of energy into updating us on scandals involving UNC students.

Four students’ mug shots were on the front page last Thursday (“Five arrested on cocaine charges,” Sept. 17) along with obscure details of each person involved.

So where is Raymond Cook’s mug shot?

Cook was a member of UNC faculty until Sept. 11, when he was charged with the death of Elena Shapiro while driving drunk. This story is of interest to anyone associated with UNC, yet we’ve been given very few details about Cook.

Thanks to the DTH, we know that Julianne Howard is in a sorority, but not that Cook, who was charged with a DWI on Sept. 11, has previously had run ins with the law over drinking and driving.

Students’ study abroad cancellation raises concern TO THE EDITOR: When concerns about Alyssa Valdez’s ability to study abroad were called into question (“UNC kicks student out of study abroad,” Sept. 21) she should have had a meeting with University officials — whether on the phone, Skype or in person.

She should not have been simply kicked off of a continent.

Being woken up by a professor in the morning certainly does not qualify as a formal enough meeting.

While it is not clear yet whether she did indeed deserve to be dismissed from the program, one thing remains certain: Either the policy that resulted in her leaving was not followed, or the policy needs to be changed.

As it stands, the accusations that led to the decision are unproven, and yet the decision has already been made.

The way this decision seems to have been made is not in keeping with the traditions of the Carolina Way, nor that of the Honor Code.
