Ofﬁcers placed on paid leave SBI still investigating Smith’s death By Brian Austin Senior Writer

sports | page 15 HE IS A-CHANGIN’ Greg Little enters his second straight season as the No. 1 on the depth chart — this time at wide receiver.

state | page 3 DOLLA DOLLA BILL Several towns around the Piedmont are adopting a local currency called the PLENTY. Carrboro was one of the first.

Both the officer who shot UNC junior Courtland Benjamin Smith and another officer at the scene have been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation, Archdale Police Department officials said Tuesday. Smith, a biology major and president of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, was shot to death Sunday morning near Greensboro by Archdale officer Jeremy Paul Flinchum, 29, according to the State Bureau of Investigation. The SBI is investigating the incident, which is common in cases of officer-related shootings. Flinchum, one of 25 full-time officers in Archdale, has been with the

department since April 2008 and has not been under investigation while with them. A second officer at the scene, whose name has not been released, also has been placed on administrative leave. Police department officials said the second officer was not involved in the shooting. Flinchum stopped Smith’s car early Sunday morning on Interstate 85 in Archdale, about 15 miles south of Greensboro. Flinchum was responding to a 911 call from Smith, who told dispatchers that he was suicidal and needed help. A press release Sunday from Archdale police said the officer shot Smith after a confrontation. Officials have not said if he was armed.

The death of junior Courtland Smith was mourned across campus on Monday.

Grieving on campus The Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity members returned to Chapel Hill on Monday afternoon after spending the night out of town. “We are heartsick at the loss of our brother Courtland Smith,” said the fraternity’s executive board in a statement. “Along with his family, we are grieving deeply over this tragedy. He was a good friend and leader at the DKE house. Alumni and house representatives of the fraternity will stay in touch with the University.”

Earlier Monday, Chancellor Holden Thorp expressed his sadness over Smith’s death in an e-mail to students and parents. “There is nothing worse than losing a young person,” Thorp said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they grieve and cope with such a great loss.” Several campus Greek organizations put off rush events Monday night and will decide later this week about other plans to remember Smith. Some are doing small favors such as donating flowers or cooking dinner for his fraternity. “Rush is the least of our worries,” said sophomore William White, a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. “We’re more worried about our friends next door and being there for them.”

Class of ’13 has diversity, ‘talent’ Administrators praise freshmen By Lindsay Ruebens Staff Writer

This year’s incoming freshman class is the most diverse and academically talented class yet, university officials said. The class has more minorities and fewer Caucasians, which contrasts with the drop in minority enrollment last year. It also has higher SAT scores and class rankings than its predecessors. Admissions director Stephen Farmer said the diversity flipflop is not that significant and that there has been a trend over the past decade of enrolling fewer Caucasians and more minorities, largely because North Carolina is becoming a more diverse state. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Carolina’s being a diverse school also makes it really attractive to diverse students,” Farmer said. “By and large, I think the brightest kids around the state and around the country want to go to this college and study with people in wide and varying backgrounds.” UNC admitted 7,344 students for the class of 2013 and expects 3,953 to begin classes today — the largest incoming class the University has ever had. The percentage of students in the Carolina Covenant program, which allows students from low-income families to graduate debtfree, has jumped 23 points. Archie Ervin, associate provost for diversity and multicultural affairs, said this large number is an indicator of difficult economic times but is also a good opportunity to broaden the scope of diverse

Administration sees turnover Reading sparks talks Thorp to replace several top posts BY Kevin Kiley

University Editor

Chancellor Holden Thorp is slowly watching his brain trust change. While not all of the changes have been driven by Thorp, the start of his tenure has seen a significant level of turnover in top administrative posts. Though his predecessor saw six of his eight cabinet posts turn over in his first two years as chancellor, there is very little pattern for the level of administrative turnover when a new chief executive enters a university. Sometimes many top jobs change, and sometimes few do. At the top levels of administration, Thorp is restructuring the University’s leadership chart by creating positions and eliminating others. And he is in the middle of replacing several top posts. By the end of the year, the University will have a new executive vice chancellor and provost, as well as a new vice chancellor for student affairs, two of the most visual administrative posts. The former provost, Bernadette

Gray-Little, accepted a job as chancellor of the University of Kansas this summer. Margaret Jablonski, the vice chancellor for student affairs, announced last semester that she will be leaving UNC by the end of the year. Karen Gil was selected as the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences — the position Thorp left behind when named chancellor — after a yearlong national search. Thorp also eliminated the position of vice chancellor for public service and engagement. Michael Smith, who held the position, will continue to serve as dean of the School of Law. In a message to University administrators, Thorp said the decision was in no way reflective of Smith’s work in the position, but rather a reaction to budget cuts. “Doing that requires taking a hard look at how we’ve been doing things, including reducing administrative layers,” he said. While eliminating some roles, Thorp has also created others. The department of human resources, formerly under the

Interim Provost Bruce Carney takes his second interim position in two years. page 5 DEAN Karen Gil prepares to lead the College of Arts and Sciences. page 5 Vice Chancellor Brenda Malone takes a new post in human resources. page 5 direction of the vice chancellor for finance and administration, has been established as a separate division headed by Brenda Malone, who will now serve as the vice chancellor for that department.

on immigration, race BY eliza kern

Assistant university editor

The freshmen who entered Murphey 204 on Monday were bursting with enthusiasm to discuss the summer reading book, Paul Cuadros’ “A Home on the Field.” They brought annotated, dogeared copies of books, lists of questions and strong opinions on the book’s topic of immigration. And lucky for them, Cuadros was in the room. This year, for the first time, the summer reading book committee chose a work written by a UNC professor. The book looks at immigration issues in a small town in North Carolina where a large influx of Latino immigrants has caused tension among residents. The book profiles Cuadros’ three years coaching “Los Jets,” the varsity soccer team at Jordan-Matthews High School in Siler City, which won the state championship in the final year chronicled in the book.

Campus Y gets new director YWC Draws on experience in Peace Corps BY KATIE OLIVER Staff writer

When then-Campus Y co-president Richard Harrill graduated in 1991 with a degree in political science, he knew he would be back someday. Now, almost 20 years later, Harrill has returned to UNC and the Y, succeeding Virginia Carson as the organization’s director. And he said he couldn’t be happier. “I am very excited about it. I mean, this is a dream job for me. I feel like I have the best job at

UNC,” Harrill said. Harrill, who comes to UNC after 10 years promoting social justice in Hungary, said he’s happy about following Carson because of her rejuvenating influence on the Y, in terms of the actual building and the spirit of the students there. “I’m inheriting an organization that is already strong,” he said. The Campus Y is the largest student service organization on campus with 17 different service committees and 12 special projects. The director mostly serves to act

Researchers at UNC are the first to decode the structure of an entire HIV genome. Their work is an important step toward further research of antiviral drugs and understanding the methods that viruses use to infect humans. The genetic information of HIV is carried in a single strand of RNA, which is a more complex structure to decode than double-stranded DNA. The HIV RNA is composed of more almost 20,000 building blocks called nucleotides.

UNC researchers working to fight against colon cancer Researchers at UNC have found a drug target that may lead to a way to stop colon cancer. The new study, which was published online in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, show that drugs targeting the receptor ERBB3 could be much more effective than those that target the epidermal growth factor receptor when it comes to treating colorectal cancers. David Threadgill, an adjunct professor in the Department of Genetics, was the lead author of the study. Tests conducted in mice rarely ended with the development of colon cancer.

Playmakers Repertory Co. to present interactive show

English choir to perform in music department Sept. 9 UNC will play host to the Choir of King’s College London on Sept. 9 when they perform a concert featuring selections from the Spanish and English Renaissance. The concert will open the 20092010 William S. Newman Artist Series in the music department. It will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall. This is the 17th year of the series, which is dedicated to the memory of Newman, a music historian, professor and performing artist at UNC for 30 years. The Choir of King’s College London is one of England’s leading university choirs. Roughly 30 choral scholars and two organ scholars make up the choir. It is directed by college organist David Trendell, who is a senior lecturer in the King’s music department. The choir performs a variety of pieces ranging back more than 700 years. UNC signed a multilevel agreement in 2005 that expanded the undergraduate exchange program with King’s College London to include graduate students and faculty as well as undergraduates, who have studied at King’s since 2002. The formal exchange program began in 2004.

PlayMakers Repertory Company is presenting a one-man show called “The Last Cargo Cult.” The story tells the tale of Mike Daisey’s visit to a remote South Pacific island, where the islanders praise America as a source of power and abundance. The inhabitants created their cult religion in abandoned World War II military bases. It will open PlayMakers’ 20092010 PRC2 second-stage season. The series was designed to present relevant, thought-provoking plays and invite audiences to interact with the artists after the productions. Daisey will play himself nightly from Sept. 16 to Sept. 20 in the Elizabeth Price Kenan Theatre of UNC’s Center for Dramatic Art. Earlier this month, Daisey’s show was sold out as he began a national tour in Portland, Ore., and Seattle. PlayMakers’ PRC2 series receives support from the N.C. Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Junior offensive guard Alan Pelc watches as his body temperature readings are taken. The CorTemp pill that Pelc and the rest of the UNC football team are trying monitors athletes’ core temperature to help prevent concussions and other injuries.

HEATING UP Pill checks core temperature for UNC players By Anna Kim Senior Writer

After hearing about a pill containing a thermometer, battery and radio transmitter, E.J. Wilson was left feeling bewildered. As one of the players on the North Carolina football team taking it, he joined a horde less confused than amused. “We actually call it the Magic School Bus,” Wilson said. “We feel like Ms. Frizzle is navigating around our body just looking at things.” This summer, UNC joined a number of collegiate and professional football teams taking the CorTemp pill, an ingestible thermometer the size of a multivitamin.

The practice was initiated to gauge the accuracy of data collected in a study that uses sensors in helmets to study whether higher body temperatures increase the probability of concussions. “We wanted to know if we could rely on those sensors on the helmets,” said Scott Trulock, head athletic trainer for football. “What we needed to do was to compare that with a device that has been proven to be accurate, as the CorTemp has.” For six years, Kevin Guskiewicz, chair of UNC’s Department of Exercise and Sport Science, has led the study measuring the impacts players take to helmets.

Using the CorTemp readings, he is now hoping to understand whether there is a correlation between the increased concussions and higher temperatures. “When I would speak on sports-related concussions, one of the questions I’m always asked is, ‘What is it about warm months?’” he said. “This is one way for us to better understand the linkages.” The team has also used the data to monitor body temperatures throughout specific drills, games and breaks. “When Coach (Butch) Davis organizes a practice, there is a buildup and then a build down,” Trulock said. “It is based on speculating what periods require the most exertion.

A new faculty adviser could revive the life of UNC’s controversial chapter of Youth for Western Civilization. After the group was left with a field of virtually no conservative faculty members, Elliot Cramer, a retired psychology professor, has offered to replace astronomy professor Chris Clemens as faculty sponsor to the right-wing student organization. YWC rose in prominence last spring when they hosted two speakers on campus to discuss illegal immigration. Both speakers were met with protests, resulting in seven people being arrested — one a UNC student. This year’s YWC president, Nikhil Patel, said he plans to accept Cramer’s offer after he meets with Clemens and the other members. “If we can, then I will continue the group,” Patel said. If its life is extended by Cramer’s signing on, YWC could take a different form than the organization some accused of being a white supremacist group over the past year. “I don’t particularly agree with the views of this group,” Cramer said. “I’m not a conservative, but I think they ought to have a right to be an organization on campus.” Patel also doesn’t agree with all of the national group’s mission statement and said he joined to be exposed to a viewpoint different from his own. “We will try and take the group in a different direction,” Patel said. “Last year was a public relations disaster. I would like to try and remedy that problem.” Recognition for campus student groups will expire at midnight on Sept. 30 unless they have filed the correct paperwork with the University. If the UNC chapter of YWC does not have a faculty adviser at that point, their status as a student group will be terminated. The possibility of filling the adviser role looked grim this summer. Clemens said he did not know any other conservative faculty members like himself — he currently serves as adviser to a number of conservative campus groups. Clemens added that he decided not to continue as faculty adviser for the group because their reputation in the community was preventing a constructive dialogue and taking up too much of his time. Protesters and their supporters, such as the UNC Protesters Defense Committee, have called the YWC a racist hate group and called for its abolishment. Senior Laura Bickford, a member of the committee, said her group had tried to meet with Clemens a number of times. “A controversial group takes more time,” Clemens said. But Cramer may have more time to spare as a retired professor. His position as professor emeritus still qualifies him for the faculty adviser role. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Local currency catches on House directors act as mother ﬁgures

By Tarini parti

Assistant state and national editor

Some local consumers are putting away their credit cards and exchanging their U.S. dollars for a local currency to help businesses cope with the recession. A currency called the PLENTY, the Piedmont Local Economy Tender, is becoming increasingly popular in Orange and Chatham counties. Greensboro businesses also are pushing for the currency. One PLENTY equals $1, but because it is only a regional currency, PLENTYs spent stay within the Piedmont area, boosting local small businesses. There are now 45 businesses in the area that accept the currency and a record number of PLENTY bills in circulation, said Camille Armantrout, secretary and treasurer of PLENTY. “It shows that we are independent of the global economy and interdependent on the local community,” she said.

Provost role Two join administrative ranks often leads to higher ofﬁce Malone now a vice chancellor

Gil takes over Thorp’s old role

BY Matthew Price and Kevin Kiley

By Kevin Kiley and Nick Andersen

In the wake of a report that said the University’s administration is too complicated and deep, Chancellor Holden Thorp has already begun flattening the organizational tree. Brenda Malone, the associate vice chancellor for human resources since August 2007, will now serve as the vice chancellor for human resources. The minor title change reflects the more important change of human resources becoming its own department. Formerly, that division was under the Office of the Vice Brenda Chancellor for Finance Malone was and Administration. promoted to a Thorp said the change vice chancelwould give him more exposure to employee lor position concerns in high-level in human resources. discussions. “We want employees to feel like they have a voice at the table when we discuss major University policy,” Thorp said. Malone said Thorp has always been a ready ear when it comes to exploring issues surrounding employees, even before the change. “He is very focused on the employees and the needs of employees and that is one of the things that is wonderful about working with him,” she said. “He has always been supportive of the things we want to do.” Malone cited the chancellor’s announcement in October of an almost $5,000 increase to the minimum employee salary as a sign of his commitment to staff. She said one of her primary goals in the office will be making sure that employees have input into the implementation of the report by Bain & Company. Part of those recommendations included looking at the best method of delivering human resources services to Brenda Malone, vice employees. chancellor for human resources “We have right now a very decentralized approach,” she said. “We are going to try to refine it and make it a little more efficient how we do it. Right now we deal with a lot of people.” Malone said working to address the Bain report would require cooperation with the campus community and the employee forum. “This is going to be a long process,” she said. But she said she was confident about moving forward. “I will tell you that wherever I show up I do have a perspective. I will be another voice.”

Karen Gil, a member of the University’s psychology department for 14 years, begins her tenure as the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences this fall. Gil was selected to lead the college after a national search that drew applicants from as far as University of MassachusettsAmherst and Brown University. Gil fills a position previously held by Chancellor Holden Thorp. Her appointment is one of several administrative shifts taking place this Karen Gil took fall. Before taking charge over as Dean of the school’s largest of the College academic unit, Gil was of Arts and senior associate dean Sciences in July for social sciences and after a national international programs search. in the college. She also served as chairwoman of the Department of Psychology from 2004-07. Gil was a faculty member in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center prior to her appointment at UNC in 1995. “Karen Gill is an outstanding administrator,” said Mark Hollins, director of graduate studies in psychology. “Karen is interested in listening to a wide variety of viewpoints when she is making a decision, and when she does make it, the policy is always clearly explained and uniformly enforced.” Interim Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carney, who filled the dean’s seat while the University selected Gil, has worked with her for years as the two have held different administrative positions. “She and I were working together at the outset,” said Carney. Gil was chairwoman of the psychology department when Carney first took on an administrative role in the College. “I have always admired the way she works.” In recent years, the dean position has proven to be a springboard for higher administrative posts. The past two people to hold the office are now chancellors. As chair of the psychology department, Gil was forwardlooking, coworkers said. “Karen had a vision for the continued development of the department and was always thinking ahead to the next steps on that journey,” Hollins said. Gil’s goals for the college seem to reflect that forward-looking spirit. “We think the college is vital in stimulating an intellectual community on campus,” she said. Some of Gil’s priorities for the college include expanding the school’s international focus, expanding undergraduate research and incorporating the curriculum for the environment into the school, she said. “We are excited that Karen is now bringing her gifts to her new position as Dean of the College,” Hollins said.

Bruce Carney is serving as interim provost until the national search for the position is over.

University Editor

UNC is undergoing its fourth national search for a high-level administrator in four years. Three years ago the University searched for a Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and selected Holden Thorp. A year later, a national search put him in the chancellor’s office, meaning another search for the College. And this year, a search is underway to find a new executive vice chancellor and provost — the No. 2 administrative position at UNC and its chief academic officer. The woman who previously held the job, Bernadette Gray-Little, was selected this summer to lead the University of Kansas. UNC’s provost position is a major stepping stone for further leadership positions. Those involved in the search said this is a selling point and challenge of the post. Gray-Little’s predecessor, Robert Shelton, now leads the University of Arizona. Dr. Shelton Earp, director of the Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, will be leading the search for Gray-Little’s replacement. Earp has experience with administrative searches and served on the committee that selected former Chancellor James Moeser. He said the ideal candidate to fill the provost’s office is someone with an academic background and administrative experience. He said beyond that, few characteristics of the new post are set in stone. The committee will submit three names to Thorp, who will make the final decision. He said he hopes to submit the names by January, but realizes this is an ambitious timeline. In recent years, a trend has emerged of selecting high-level administrators from within the ranks of UNC. Thorp was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences before becoming chancellor. He took the dean spot a year earlier after being pulled from the chemistry department. The new dean of the college was also an internal candidate.

McKay Coble, chairwoman of the faculty, said with homegrown talent in the chancellor’s office and the college, an outside candidate might bring new ideas to the table. But she added that UNC shouldn’t rule out selecting an internal candidate and that there are bound to be good applicants at UNC. “UNC breeds its own leaders,” she said. “We have to embrace the potential that it could be one of us, but we also have to embrace that it might be someone from the outside.”

Carney steps up again In the meantime, the provost job is being filled by Bruce Carney, who has held multiple administrative roles in the past few years — few on a permanent basis. The provost position is the second interim role Carney has filled in the past year. He acted as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences last year while UNC looked for a permanent replacement. Carney said he wasn’t planning on acting as provost, but that he’s trying to be helpful. “Somebody had to do it,” Carney said, laughing. He said his experience working in administrative roles for several years made him a good candidate for the temporary position. Carney, who has been at UNC since 1980, was a professor in the physics and astronomy department before moving to administration. While the search continues, Carney will have his hands full. Sitting on the University’s budget committee, he must cope with significant cuts, which he called “a constant series of tiny crises.”

bittersweet bubbles

enior Sarah Smith blows bubbles while listening to My Boy Rascal perform during the University’s Senior Kickoff held in Forest Theatre. “Being a senior is bittersweet,” Smith said. “It’s weird doing things for the last time. Like Fall Fest, I almost started crying

because it was the last time. I’m excited though.” The Senior Kickoff is the first of three events in the Senior Week of Welcome. On Wednesday evening, seniors wearing their senior shirt will get free Loco Pops, and Thursday night is senior bar night at He’s Not Here.

students at UNC. Ervin also said there has been an increase in students marking “other” on applications specifying race, which may contribute to the 1.6 percent decrease of Caucasians this year. About 2.9 percent of enrolled students listed themselves racially as “other.” “There is a 400 percent growth in number of people who described themselves as ‘other’ since 2000,” Ervin said. “I don’t know if there’s an actual decline in Caucasians – people might be multi-identifying

themselves.” Still, both Ervin and Farmer acknowledged the class’s ethnic and economic diversity. “In every way that I think this group can be quantified, this group is without a doubt the most diverse,” Farmer said. He also said the class of 2013 is stronger academically than last year’s incoming class. Eighty percent of the enrolling in-state students graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class, compared to 74 percent five years ago. The average SAT score was 1302, one point higher than last year.

Stephen farmer, Director of Undergraduate Admissions Ervin said he thinks academic talent and diversity are related, although there isn’t any data to prove a link. Farmer said the remarkable enrollment is all about students’ attraction to the University, which he says is a diverse community. “Carolina is just a screamin’ deal, just a great value,” he said. He added that word has gotten out that students can’t find a better place to be welcomed, challenged

and educated. Farmer said he expects nothing less than excellence from the class of 2013. “I expect them to excel, make Carolina a better place than it already is, graduate in four years, have a great time and achieve more than they ever thought they could achieve.”

gration. Former members of his soccer team were also present and shared their experiences. In his three years living in Siler City and his time as a reporter, Cuadros saw firsthand the impact of illegal immigration. “It is a fact that the current immigration system is broken. It exploits people and dispossesses them,” he said. “The situation is so polarized we cannot arrive at conclusions. Thousands of kids are suffering under the weight of the stalemate. They are caught in a limbo for which they are blameless.” Cuadros said it is difficult to prescribe a solution to immigration issues, as things are often more complicated than people would like to believe. “I’m no Dumbledore, but I can see the question facing our country. We need to decide between what is right and what is easy,” Cuadros said. Cuadros said he hopes more students will be allowed to reach their full potential, as his players were. “The boys in ‘A Home on the Field’ face terrible obstacles in their lives. They dream of participating in our society. When you give these kids a level playing field and let them rise to their full potential, they become champions,” he said. He said he was impressed by a comment made by a student in his discussion group, who suggested that his generation take ownership of immigration issues. Cuadros said this will prove essential if the

Siler City is a town of about 8,500 in central North Carolina and the setting of Paul Cuadros’ book “A Home on the Field.” For much of the twentieth century, the town was home to several major furniture and textile plants. A changing economy forced several of these plants to close, and Siler City saw high unemployment, a rash of closed businesses and an aging population. Starting in the early 1990s, a major influx of Hispanic immigrants and low-skilled industries came to the state, many settling in Siler City. Since that time, the city’s population has grown, and the median age has decreased drastically. The increased number of immigrants in the city has also brought cultural clashes throughout the past few decades, including a rally led by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. United States is to succeed. “What I’m really asking you to consider is to choose between fear and hope. It’s easy to choose fear, but I believe it’s much harder to choose hope.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

assistant state & national editor

The state budget is phasing out the sometimes controversial UNCsystem school tuition waiver for N.C. School of Science and Math students. The graduating class of 2010 will be the last class eligible for a waiver. Graduates of the residential magnet high school already at a university and those accepted next year will still be granted the waiver. The tuition waiver, which was first granted in 2003 with the hope of keeping top-notch students in the state, cost the state an estimated $3.1 million dollars for the 2008-09 academic year. Lauren Everhart, communications director for NCSSM, said that since the implementation of the grant, 80 percent of NCSSM graduates enrolled in an in-state university. Prior to the grant, only 55 percent stayed in the state. “Based on that evidence, we have reason to believe that the number will go back down,” Everhart said. The waiver had been under scrutiny since it was first granted. Legislators finally decided to cut it this year in an attempt to help close

the $4.7 billion state deficit. Rep. Paul Stam, R-Wake, said in a statement that it was unfair to provide a merit scholarship to students of one particular high school and not grant the rest of the state’s students the same opportunity. “There are about 940 students in the state who are salutatorian or valedictorian of their high schools who don’t get automatic free tuition,” Stam said. Everhart said there was great relief among recent graduates and incoming seniors when the budget was passed, but the class of 2011 is still trying to figure out what this means for them. Students apply to NCSSM during their sophomore year and, if accepted, attend for their junior and senior years. At any given time, there are about 650 students enrolled in the academically rigorous program. Daryn Mitchell, a junior from Ahoskie, said the tuition grant was one of the reasons he applied to NCSSM in the first place. “I was really disappointed,” he said. “I really want to still apply to Carolina, but now I’m also looking

Everhart said NCSSM is working on partnership programs with UNC-system schools to provide new incentives for students such as Mitchell, who were disappointed by the repeal of the waiver, to enroll at universities in North Carolina. Everhart said the number of applicants to NCSSM increased significantly in 2004 after the tuition waiver was granted. With the repeal of the tuition waiver, NCSSM officials are unsure how it will affect the number of applicants to the school next year. “It’s too early to say at this point, but the opportunities here go far beyond the tuition waiver,” she said.

Only one group brings films, air guitar championships and LocoPops to campus: the Carolina Union Activities Board. CUAB uses student fees to fund all of its programing and brings a variety of activities to campus. “Each student has paid for what our group puts on,” said Amanda Kao, CUAB president. “We make it our job to bring diverse, fun activities so everyone can enjoy them.” There are 18 committees as part of the group, specializing in areas from film to aesthetic expression. A few new committees were created this year, including the media features and aesthetic expression committees. The media features will focus on generating publicity for CUAB and the aesthetic expression committee is “centered around beautiful things,” Kao said. Some committees are more recognizable than others, such as the film, fun and music committees. The film committee brings recently released film s to the Union Auditorium. There are two screenings every weekend on Friday and Saturday.

The music committee brings both local and big-name music acts to campus, such as Andrew Bird and the Avett Brothers last year. “My committee constantly strives for diversity, which means having a creative group of students who are devoted to bringing in new kinds of artists and performers that will urge students to broaden their musical experiences and interests,” Adele Ricciardi, chairwoman of the committee, said in an e-mail. CUAB has programs in the Student Union, such as the air guitar championships, but it also has events around campus, such as Sue Johanson’s visit to Memorial Hall last year.

This summer the group hosted programs on South Campus, and Kao said she wants to continue this during the semester. “Wherever students are, that’s where we’re going to go,” Kao said. Students can join different committees and find more information at the CUAB Gets Back event on Sept. 10. Though every committee has control of its own programming, Kao said her theme for the year is love — love for campus, students and the organization. “I’m really hoping they give love and receive it just the same from their programs,” she said.

Fuller looking to give UNC’s offense a boost By Scott Powers

Senior transfer Branagan Fuller joins UNC after spending three years with UNCGreensboro.

Senior Writer

The North Carolina volleyball team’s offense has a new weapon in its arsenal. Senior outside hitter Branagan Fuller transferred to the program earlier this month and can make a difference. “I think she’s going to compete for a starting position,” coach Joe Sagula said. Sagula said that while there are no guarantees, from what he and the coaching staff have seen from Fuller in practice, she can play at the ACC level. “She’s a solid player, great passer, very dynamic hitter,” Sagula said. Fuller played three seasons at UNC-Greensboro before coach Shawn Garus left the program in June, accepting the head coaching position at Boise State. It was then that Fuller decided to seek a transfer. After deciding not to follow Garus to Boise State, she began to look around at other schools where she could finish her college career. She e-mailed Sagula and told him that she was transferring and getting her release.

“(Sagula) had to see my release from UNC-G, and then he called me and asked me if I wanted to come up on a visit,” Fuller said. Sagula said that it was a pleasant surprise to add another outside hitter to the team that he wasn’t counting on and that Fuller brings a new dimension to the team with her talent and three years of experience. Fuller joins the Tar Heels after a standout career with the Spartans. The California native led UNC-G with 396 kills and was second on the team with 344 digs. But that pales in comparison to Fuller’s sophomore season, when she recorded a school-record 543 kills and was also second on the team with 384 digs. Fuller also logged 321 kills her freshman season, just one short of how many UNC’s Lauren Prussing

led the team with last season. That was in the Southern Conference against smaller schools than Fuller will face while a Tar Heel, so only time will tell how her skills will translate in this new conference. But Sagula said the Southern Conference is competitive and expressed confidence in Fuller’s ability to make the transition. Fuller’s performance earned h e r N.C . C o l l e g i a t e S p o r t s Information Association all-state honors in her sophomore and junior seasons. So far, the transfer has worked out well for Fuller and the Tar Heels. She is gradually becoming part of the team. “It’s coming along,” Fuller said. “I do definitely feel like I’m part of the team and have a spot, but that all comes with time more and more, so I’m working my way in.” Senior Heather Brooks said she was pleased to have Fuller on the team. “(Fuller is) here to work, and that’s what we need,” Brooks said.

Seniors to defend ACC crown By Scott Powers Senior Writer

The 2008 North Carolina volleyball squad shocked the ACC by winning 10 of their final 11 regularseason matches to earn a share of the conference title. This year, the Tar Heels have similar aspirations, with four seniors leading the title defense. There’s Heather Brooks, who teammates have pointed out as a vocal leader at practice. The middle blocker was a 2008 second-team All-ACC selection and a 2009 preseason All-ACC choice. Touting the same hardware as Brooks is Ingrid Hanson-Tuntland. She returns after finishing second in the conference in blocks per set. There’s Megan Owens, who looks to bounce back after an injury-plagued 2008. And now there’s Branagan Fuller, the transfer from UNCGreensboro. She set the school record for kills in a single season her sophomore year as a Spartan. Coach Joe Sagula said the team has more depth than last year’s. “It’s not just one or two. We’ve got three players at each position, which makes it very competitive,” Sagula said. Sagula added that the team’s depth makes the level of play in practice higher. “We realized that we’ve got a lot

of players that can play,” Sagula said. The Tar Heels are replacing a senior class that featured All-ACC performers at libero and outside hitter. UNC has a replacement at libero in sophomore Kaylie Gibson, who played defensive specialist last season, subbing in for an outside hitter in the back row. Sagula said Gibson used last season and the spring to solidify herself at libero. The Tar Heels have two senior options for a new outside hitter in Owens and Fuller, and returning starter Sue Haydel will pick up some of the slack. UNC will face a difficult nonconference schedule, something Sagula aims for every season. This year the early schedule includes No. 12 Southern California, No. 18 Wichita State and No. 24 Colorado State, as well as three other teams that received votes in the preseason coaches poll. The Tar Heels will have to be prepared for the difficult early schedule, and Brooks is positive about the team’s work. “I like it,” Brooks said. “I like what’s happening. It’s been a lot of fun so far. We’ve shown a lot of progress, and I’m really excited.” The Tar Heels face the challenge of playing two more games on the

Every year, each ACC team plays 10 conference teams twice and two teams once. This year, UNC gets one match each against Flordia State and Miami, picked by coaches to finish second and third in the conference, respectively. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Gays likelier to Versatile Ababio ready whenever, wherever Senior has played all over the ﬁeld smoke, study says By Chris Hempson Assistant Sports Editor

by ZACH DANIEL WHITE Staff Writer

A study published in Tobacco Control’s August edition shows a large disparity in tobacco use by the gay and lesbian populations. The study shows that 33 percent of gay men and 37 percent of lesbian women smoke, compared to the national averages of 24 and 18 percent men and women smokers, respectively. The research team consisted of Joseph Lee, a social research specialist with the Tobacco Prevention and Evaluation Program in the UNC School of Medicine; Cathy Melvin, research associate professor of maternal and child health at the Gillings School of Global Public Health; and Gabriel Griffin, a medical student at the Duke University School of Medicine. Lee, the lead author of the study, said he became interested in tobacco advertising toward the gay and lesbian community in a marketing scheme called Project SCUM. “Project SCUM was intriguing, and no one had a general idea about the differences between straight and gay and lesbian smoking rates,” Lee said. UNC senior Miguel Lilly, who is gay, said he thinks smoking is not strongly connected to the gay community. “If you go to any bar, people are going to be smoking,” Lilly said. “People smoke; I see no divide based on sexual orientation.”

Plain and simple, Eddie Ababio has been a forward his whole life. When his career in soccer began in his native country of Ghana, so too did his career up top. In those days, he played without cleats and for the allowances of local kids — including his own. It was generally an everyday occurrence, and more times than not, Ababio found himself a winner. When he moved to Tampa, Fla., in 1996, his sporting choice and position stayed the same. He eventually became the go-to guy at forward for his club team, Hillsborough County United. And when Elmar Bolowich, Ababio’s future coach at North Carolina, saw the youngster, Bolowich knew he would be recruiting Ababio for an attacking spot. But after a fairly successful freshman season, in which Ababio tallied two goals and an assist, something drastic occurred. After Bolowich and his assistants tossed around the idea for a while, they decided to give it a go: Ababio would be switched to defense. “We were discussing it first with Eddie, and his response was, ‘I’ll play wherever to help the team,’ Bolowich said. “It makes you feel good because you’re not sure how a player will react.” Ababio knew that the team had lost three starting seniors from the previous year. And if Bolowich Contact the Features Editor needed him in the back, well, that’s at features@unc.edu. what he was going to do.

For three years, the researchers collected previous data on tobacco use by sexual minorities from 1987 to 2007. From 42 studies, they were able to get a picture of the smoking disparities. “One of the tools of researching is to gather the many different small surveys and put them together to get the overall big picture,” Lee said. Problems in the study included the surveys’ different definitions when identifying a gay person and what amount of tobacco use qualifies a person as a smoker, Lee said. Despite these inconsistencies, Lee said he is confident in the results. “We still cannot know an exact number, but I can see a consistently higher smoking between gays and lesbians since 1987,” Lee said. “The results have been pretty consistent across both time and geography.” Lilly said members of the gay community may smoke due to stress from outside pressures. However, Lee said he would still like to research the reasons behind the study’s results. “We now know there is a disparity,” he said. “No one wants to conduct research that just sits on the shelf.”

So in 20 games during that sophomore campaign, Ababio started 19 at defender. He added two goals like he had the previous year — as he used his uncanny athleticism to move forward to create offensive opportunities from the wing. “Eddie’s mentally strong,” fellow senior Zach Loyd said. “He’s a good player, and good players can adjust easily. He went to the back and took that responsibility. Having the intelligence to stay back and then go forward at times.” But just as it seemed Ababio was solidifying himself in an outside back position, another offseason brought another change. Again Bolowich would be asking Ababio to switch positions. Granted, this move would be back to a more natural one — he was brought back to the forward spot. “It was awesome,” Ababio said of his time at forward. “I was enjoying playing and enjoying my fútbol. Me and Brian Shriver had a great combo. We worked well together. I’ve known Shriver growing up in Tampa.” The pair combined for 21 goals, with Ababio contributing seven by himself. Two of those came against South Carolina — as Ababio brought the Tar Heels back from a one-goal deficit to win. Another came against Florida International University, as the then-junior rushed the Fetzer Field fans. Ababio finished the season second on the team in points. But even that statistic could be constituted as somewhat skewed. For the attacker once more found himself

In his time at North Carolina, senior Eddie Ababio has seen success as both an attacker and a defender. This season he’s slated for the defense. transitioning positions. “We needed him (in the back),” Bolowich said. “We needed Loyd in the midfield. We had played Zach some in the back when Eddie was up top, and it wasn’t quite an ideal situation at the time. Moving (Loyd) out of the back and putting Eddie back there gave us more stability. Plus, it added danger.” With several UNC players nursing injuries — including Jordan Graye — Ababio recognized the need for help on the defensive end. If the Tar Heels were going to be a championship team, it would start from the back. So quite simply, he went back for

the final six games. And with his help, North Carolina finished as the nation’s runner-up squad. Now as Ababio embarks on his final season with UNC, he again faces uncertainty. Although it appears he will play defense once more, Bolowich acknowledged that the senior’s versatility could be tested. “In my ideal soccer world, he would be the outside back for us,” Bolowich said. “Every game. Every minute. But it may not play out like that.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

This was a way we could put scientific data to that.” More surprising, he said, have been readings from cool downs. The body’s resting temperature is 98.6 degrees, and athletes warm up to reach an optimum performance at 99 or 100 degrees, he said. But a very narrow window exists between that optimum level and a medical emergency — 104 degrees. During practice, readings regularly rise to 102 and 103 degrees. “We take breaks during practice in order to bring core temperature down,” Trulock said. “But the question is, ‘How long do we need?’ That was something we always speculated on.” CorTemp readings revealed that five to seven minutes proved optimum for players, while the 10 min-

later because they weren’t backed by a local bank and businesses could not exchange them for U.S. dollars. “It had a burst of activity at the beginning and then we had a lot of it, and it wasn’t circulating,” said Ruffin Slater, general manager for Weaver Street Market. The PLENTY was relaunched in May 2009 when Capital Bank in Pittsboro began backing it up. “It’s treated just like any other currency, like the Canadian dollar or the Euro,” said B.J. Lawson, president of the Board of Trustees for PLENTY. Armantrout, who gets paid in PLENTYs, said they are easier and more meaningful to use because consumers do not have to leave their community. “If you’re using credit cards or Federal Reserve money, you just pull out the plastic, but it doesn’t mean anything,” she said. About 70 communities around the country are now printing local money to cope with the recession, Lawson said. Patrick Conway, an economics professor at UNC, said local currencies are both good and bad. “If you spend it once, that’s not the end of it,” he said, adding that it can also lead to local job creation. However, because not all businesses accept local currencies, it limits the economy, Conway said. Oscar Moncada, owner of the Chapel Hill Bed and Breakfast, said he recently started accepting PLENTYs because he considers it to be “a win-win situation.” “It’s a way of creating a community of local businesses because we all have the same problem with the local economy,” he said. “United, we can help each other.”

Both house directors have previously worked in similar jobs at the University of Michigan before relocating to Chapel Hill. Beyer worked as a house director at UNC’s Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority seven years ago before moving to Alpha Delta Pi. Kietur made frequent visits to see her friend and also fell in love with the job. She relocated to work at UNC two years ago. “I love working with people,” Kietur said. “It seemed like the natural thing to do.” House directors, also known as house moms, have duties including overseeing house staff, planning meal menus, ordering food and keeping track of lawn maintenance. “It would be like your mom running a house with a big family,” Beyer said. Beyer also said the job is usually not stressful, but it can be during rush season. “There are times when you have to stretch outside of your comfort zone,” she said. The most gratifying part about the job, Beyer said, is watching the girls grow up. “I get to know the girls as individuals,” Beyer said. “I’ve watched them grow into fine young ladies.” Kietur agrees. “They’re my kids when I’m here,” she said. “Seeing the gals come in and mature — it’s so rewarding.” House directors serve as mother figures, helping the girls with personal struggles. “Sometimes you just do mom things. It’s about just knowing and holding hands,” Kietur said. “I don’t need to know what’s bad. Just say it’s a hug day, and I’ll give you a hug.” But Kietur said her job does not Contact the State & National include disciplinary actions, such Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. as enforcing a curfew. “I’m here to be an example and guide, rather than being a monitor,” she said.

After working with sorority girls for years, Kietur and Beyer said they found their inner sorority sisters in each other. “We’ve adopted each other as sisters,” Kietur said.

Harrill said he was inspired by his work in the Y to engage in public service abroad after obtaining a law degree from UNC in 1998. “I went into the Peace Corps wanting to get some international contacts for my work here with the Campus Y, and now it’s kind of coming full circle,” Harrill said. Marubashi said Harrill’s overseas focus could open students’ eyes to new possibilities abroad. “For example, service work in Hungary is not the first option I would consider for post-graduate work, but learning about his experiences and service has really encouraged me to consider options I otherwise may have overlooked,” she said. Harrill said a lot of people have asked him why he chose to return to the Y. “Why not?” he said. “I’ve always thought, even when I was student president of the Y, gosh, if there’s ever a chance for me to come back and be director I’ll take it.” Luckily for him, he got invited to Carson’s retirement party last spring. He said he wouldn’t have known the position was available otherwise. But Harrill will have to adjust to being back on campus. He said the Campus Y and UNC have grown tremendously since he’s been away. The physical and economic changes are impressive, he said, but the soul remains essentially unchanged. “There’s something about the campus and the culture of the campus that rubs off on you pretty quickly,” he said. He said that special culture sets UNC apart from its peer institutes. And he wants to help it grow by planning new outreach programs to involve more students in the Y. “We’re excited about pulling in students,” he said. “The Y is a place where everyone is welcome. It’s a very inclusive environment. Our doors really are always open.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Trying to repeat the miracle

Little wants to better his reputation

Men’s soccer wants more in 2009

SportSaturday Editor

By Chris Hempson Assistant Sports Editor

North Carolina’s national title game appearance may have been unexpected for some, but the team’s loss still hurt. A lot. Soon after the Tar Heels’ 1-0 defeat to Maryland, then-junior Eddie Ababio returned to Chapel Hill and did nothing for a week. How could he? It was one of the most painful ordeals he had ever experienced. Zach Loyd felt similarly. Though even now, he still doesn’t think everyone has completely recovered. Even the team’s coach, Elmar Bolowich, admitted to a little bit of a void for the season. But as he attests moving forward, the postseason success was a great learning tool for his squad. “I hope there was enough good examples of what good leadership can do for a team,” he said. “We had enough of that last year. That should set an example for those that the torch is passed onto now. Because in the end, some things you build off of.” Such words surely apply to the 2008 men’s soccer team. After ending the regular season and ACC tournament with five straight losses — granted, three came against Maryland and Wake Forest — the squad went on a magical run to the NCAA championship match. And although that team barely fell short of the ultimate goal, with six starters returning and with several heralded newcomers, expectations are quite lofty for this year’s squad.

The team enters the new campaign ranked in the top five in many preseason polls. And though most of the predictions stem from each team’s finish in the rankings last year, the Tar Heels hope a repeat performance is in order. “We can use it as motivation,” Ababio said. “Being there and not winning it. That’s all the motivation we need. First, we need the experience. And now it’s going to help us a lot.” Ababio, for one, trained in the area for the summer instead of returning home to Florida as he usually does. Loyd, now the team’s captain, has become more of a vocal leader. Although it’s a different role than he’s used to, Loyd will be sorely needed to replace two midfield staples — and their voices — in Michael Callahan and Garry Lewis. Still, it wasn’t just Loyd stepping up as the Tar Heels took a team trip to Costa Rica in June. The squad went for close to 10 days and partook in four matches against Costa Rican pro teams. The Tar Heels won three games and tied one — a positive indicator for this season. For that to be the case, several players, Ababio and Loyd included, will need to have big years. The team returns four of its top six scorers, five players that tallied 10 or more points and Brooks Haggerty in goal. Loyd, however, points to two newcomers as possibilities for strong showings this year. “I think our transfers, Stephen

(McCarthy) and Michael Farfan are people others are going to have to watch out for,” Loyd said. “They’re big-time players.” Ababio believes the pair will fill in right away for the departed Callahan and Lewis, adding that freshman Enzo Martinez could play a big role coming off the bench at forward. If that’s the case, UNC could very well find itself in Cary, the site of this year’s College Cup — though the team is hoping for a better ending. “I don’t want to feel (a national title loss) again,” Ababio said. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

By David Reynolds For the second straight season, Greg Little is wrapping up training camp at a No. 1 spot on UNC’s depth chart — just at a different position this year. While he entered last season with a lion’s share of expectations as North Carolina’s young-gun starting running back, he’s now back to working full time with wide receivers. He’s also found himself in a different position in terms of experience. Little, a junior, returns as the elder statesman of a stable of young wideouts, and has found himself the de facto leader of a group trying to replace a trio of NFL draft picks. But Butch Davis isn’t ready to cede that title to him after Little’s less-than-spectacular 2008 — at least not yet. “Greg Little has got to take care of Greg Little. He can be a great role model. He can go out and practice hard,” Davis said. “But I’m not too concerned about him being a mentor and being a coach on the field. If you want to set a great example for all those young wide receivers, go out and perform.” Quarterback T.J. Yates said Little has heard the criticism after a 2008 that saw him relinquish his hold on the running back position after just four games and struggle to make an impact after he switched positions to wide receiver. To remedy the negative connotations that accompany a disappointing year, Little devoted himself this offseason to refining his skills and improving his chemistry with Yates. “We spent a lot of time together in the offseason, and building a

rapport with him and developing camaraderie has put us over the top,” Little said. “Just knowing where he’s going to throw it and him knowing where I’m going to be and giving me that time to get open.” So far, reports from training camp suggest Little’s offseason work is producing dividends. Yates answered without hesitation that Little is the receiver he is most comfortable with on the field and has given glowing reports of his athleticism. “You can kind of get away with making mistakes, because he’s such a good athlete, he can make up for it,” Yates said. “He can catch the balls you’re not supposed to. “He’s got all the tools to do pretty much anything out there on the field.”

One development Yates has noticed is that Little isn’t trying to do too much after catching the football. Rather than trying to race a defender to the sidelines and turn the corner every play, Little puts his head down and gets the sure yardage. Time will tell if his work in practice will translate to Saturdays, but Little said he is poised to fill the void at receiver. “We’ve been left some pretty big shoes to fill,” Little said. “I’ve been putting a lot of pressure on myself. I feel like I’ve got to step up to the plate, and the bar’s been set pretty high.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Residence hall renovations on hold for now BY Andrew Harrell Assistant University Editor

With the completion of improvements to Old East and Old West, major renovations to campus residence halls have ended for now. Intensive work to campus housing likely won’t be scheduled for the next few years in order to prevent student rent fees from spiking, said Rick Bradley, assistant director of communications for the Department of Housing and Residential Education. Most renovation projects to residence halls receive no state money and are funded by student rent. What will continue are smaller work projects during the summer months when some housing is left unoccupied. This work includes installing air conditioning in Craige Residence Hall and Ehringhaus Residence Hall as well as sprinklers in all residence halls by 2012. Hinton James Residence Hall was the next planned for renovations, but housing officials said they do not know when those plans will continue or if Hinton James will be delayed for a smaller project. Bradley defined full-on renovations as work that closes a residence hall for “a good portion” of the academic year. Those projects can become a costly use of student rent. “We have to be good stewards of the student resources provided,” Bradley said. “We can’t just constantly renovate, or the prices would go through the roof. It’s always a balance of needs and resources available.” The projected budget for the Old East and Old West renovations was $8.5 million. When the green construction tarps came down from the buildings about a month ago and students were allowed back in, the buildings didn’t look much different. The purpose of the renovations was to replace mechanical systems, repair roofing structural elements and stop leaks caused by plumbing issues. Much of the work took place behind brick and mortar or in the

roof and attic. “The student rooms and common areas don’t really look any different,” Bradley said. Old East and Old West each house about 65 students. Bradley said they are two of the most popular residence halls on campus, attributing demand for rooms to the history, location and unique design and charm compared to other halls. The buildings flank the Old Well, overlook McCorkle Place and are a short walk from Franklin Street. Old East made history as the first state university building in the United States, completed on Oct. 12, 1793 — now celebrated as University Day. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark and is the only UNC residence hall with its own Wikipedia entry. A Wikipedia search for Old West is redirected to a page about cowboys, six-shooters and Manifest Destiny.

UNC grad student’s journey quite a trip BY ALANA PRETTITORE On March 23, UNC graduate student Andrew Fu grabbed the keys to his Honda Element and hit the road. He had no money. He had no job. He had no idea where he was going. Fu set out to fulfill his dream: travel the country and live plainly. “I thought, ‘What am I going to regret once I am middle-aged?’” Fu said. “So I took a chance.” During his journey, he showered in public pool facilities, exercised on playgrounds and sometimes spent the night in homeless shelters. “I’ve learned a great number of lessons,” he said. “The whole trip shattered a lot of notions and ideas.” Fu is a former software engineer from Milpitas, Calif. He is attending graduate school at UNC for business — a big change from the past four months when he rode tractors with a farmer in Kansas, stayed with missionaries in New Orleans, ate crawfish with anglers and lived with firefighters in West Virginia. Fu also created a blog, www. whereisthefu.com, to keep in touch with family and friends, and it soon attracted national media attention. “I never imagined myself making the news,” he said. Fu said one of his most memorable experiences was when he befriended a graffiti artist in Baltimore, who goes only by the name De’Angelo to avoid incriminating himself. De’Angelo has created legal and illegal murals for decades and met Fu in a record shop. He said he was impressed by Fu’s character. “I think he was a genuine guy — pretty nice guy. The type of guy who would really go out of his way for his friends,” De’Angelo said. “He has the morals that are not with the regular people.”

Granville Towers residents notice few changes this year BY Matthew Price Senior Writer

UNC graduate student Andrew Fu stands in front of a mural with graffiti artist De’Angelo, who he met on his impromptu journey.

The journey was not bereft of surprising challenges. Fu totaled his car during a holiday weekend, and a stranger helped him travel 120 miles to rent a car so could continue the trip. Not all of the people Fu met along his journey were so kind. “I met a lot of very benevolent people, but on the other side — for lack of a better word — a lot of people who were crazy: ex-cons, drug dealers, winos, swindlers, sexual predators,” he said. “I started carrying around pepper spray and a knife.” Fu’s life motto, “carpe diem,” describes his determination and desire to take advantage of all that the world has to offer. “What is important is to find something for you, something where you can value your effort,” he said. “I want to make sure that no matter where I go, I pursue my passions. No matter what, I am going to stick with what I have set out to do.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

On the sur face, Granville Towers looks exactly the same as it has in the past. But this year, the residence falls under UNC police jurisdiction, and its resident advisers are hired through the Department of Housing and Residential Education rather than Granville Towers. Some residents said the changes might compromise Granville’s reputation of having an off-campus atmosphere. “I haven’t noticed a difference yet, but things still may change — it’s impossible to say,” sophomore Sam Kritchevsky said. “It wouldn’t surprise me, but I’m not a part of the typical Granville culture, so I haven’t noticed.” Granville is set apart from the University not only by its physical location, which is off West Franklin Street, but also through its own parking lot, swimming pool and dining hall. Only Granville’s RAs and community directors are currently hired through the University, said Rick Bradley, assistant director for housing. Other services, such as housekeeping, are still operated independently. Bradley said there are no differences between the responsibilities of previous years’ Granville RAs and those hired by housing. But hiring RAs for Granville means housing had to search for more students willing to work for a community. Bradley said the change created no additional hiring difficulties for housing overall. “The pool was larger than it had ever been because we had Granville Towers coming in,”

“I haven’t noticed a difference yet, but things still may change — it’s impossible to say.” Sam Kritchevsky, Sophomore Bradley said. “Sometimes you have people quit for whatever reason, so you open up hiring again for a short period of time. This year was no exception.” Granville was placed entirely under UNC police jurisdiction in May, following an agreement with the town of Chapel Hill. Previously, that area was under the jurisdiction of Chapel Hill Police. In the past, Granville has hired its own security staff to patrol the towers and parking lot through Guardsmark Security. UNC police jurisdiction did not extend to University Square because it is a retail area, officials said. The changes in police jurisdiction and housing staff are part of the UNC-Chapel Hill Foundation’s $45.75 million purchase of Granville and the nearby University Square. Two of the towers are nine stories, and the third is eight stories. The buildings house more than 1,300 residents. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

These coffee beans might not look like the ones you are used to buying. That’s because they have yet to be roasted. Each bean shown here was handpicked about two years ago by farmers at the Rancho San Francisco Estate in Mexico.

The Daily Tar Heel

BEAN TO BEVERAGE STORY BY SETH WRIGHT PHOTOS BY ANDREW DYE

3 After she receives the coffee beans, Jessee measures them out to be roasted. Most of her beans come from family-owned organic coffee farms. About 100 pounds of coffee beans can be produced in an hour using her roaster.

The coffee beans are then poured into a hopper and released into the roasting machine, where they will stay for about 20 minutes. Uncooked coffee beans have a shelf life of about three years before they go bad.

We can all appreciate a good cup of coffee. But you can taste the difference when it’s fresh. Most coffee bought in grocery stores and coffee chains has been roasted more than two months ago, but several cafes — including Carrboro’s Open Eye Cafe and Chapel Hill’s Three Cups — make coffee that’s a bit fresher. Chyenna Jessee, master coffee roaster of Jessee’s Coffee & Bar in Carrboro, shows how the freshest of coffee is produced — from being picked in the rainforest to being poured into your cup.

The beans are roasted until they reach a temperature of 440 degrees. At this temperature, the beans will produce a medium roast coffee. Jessee said she cooks the beans until they reach their “flavor profile,” where they undergo a reaction and produce sugars that make the coffee have its flavor.

COFFEE CULTURE

One coffee plant produces only about a pound of coffee. A plant takes about three or four years to mature and produce a bean. A lighter roasted coffee actually has more caffeine than darker roasted coffee. The longer they are cooked, the less nutrients the beans have. The more time a coffee bean spends on a store shelf after roasted, the more it loses its flavor, Jessee said.

The cooling tray stirs and spins the beans as a fan below the tray sucks the warm air down and blows it out of the top of the machine. This process will be done in about three to five minutes.

The beans have been spinning for a full 20 minutes inside the roaster and are making a cracking noise. Jessee then pulls on a lever that releases the beans into the cooling tray. Steam can be seen coming out of the roaster because of the high temperatures. The beans will make another crack once they reach the cooling tray. Jesse said this is a sign that they are ready.

tuesday, august 25, 2009

7 Shown here from left to right are a dark roast, light roast and a nonroasted coffee bean. Dark roasts are more bitter and smoky tasting, while light roasts give the true flavor of the bean.

Best part: Beverages are served. These beans are so fresh, Jessee said, it’s hard to beat the flavor. “I personally think that the taste is more there,” she said. “You get to taste all of those different flavors of the bean.”

Paperhand Puppet Intervention brings its traditional style of expertly crafted puppets and tales to the Forest Theatre with its latest show, “The Living Sea of Memory.” Divided into four chapters, the show includes two origin stories, a new spin on a knight’s quest and a collection of family memories. The best part of the show is the ornate puppets, including a swirling sea goddess with segmented body who morphs into an angry dragon. Larger than life gods dance across the stage while a giant earth goddess winds through their midst in the first act, flashing bright reds, oranges and yellows. These puppets are not the kind from childhood camps, made from someone’s sock and googly eyes. Paperhand’s puppets include stilt-walkers, puppeteers wearing puppet masks and expertly done shadow puppets. Co-creator and co-director Donovan Zimmerman said it took two months to create the puppets. “It’s basically a giant puppetry pageant that is a synergistic explosion of different art forms,” he said. The group adapts traditional tales for their show, creates the puppets and sets and also composes original music for the show. The last section recounts a Mayan creation myth with shadow puppets as vivid as the brightly painted scenes from earlier in the show. “It’s the idea of story and how story enters humanity and influences who we are and how we live,” Zimmerman said of the show. Because the performance is staged in an outdoor theater, puppeteers advise bringing bug spray and something to sit on. Though rain is a concern, there

him,” puppeteer Karen Kelley said. “It’s a really sweet way of expressing our connection to him.” Technically well-executed, the music and lighting add to the experience and meld into the story. With a run time of about one hour, 40 minutes, the show is a little long for some of its younger viewers and could stand to shorten a few scenes. But overall, the show tells four distinct stories while still keeping a cohesive creation theme throughout: both the creation of the world and self-creation.

Dailytarheel.com — a new Web site will help keep you informed

Taking responsibility for coverage Restoring arts and investigative Becoming more open, accessible as other news outlets cut back coverage to round out the DTH to learn how to better serve you

Ultimately responsible for all print and online content and serves as the public face of the paper in the University community.

The Daily Tar Heel has always been at the forefront of digital innovation. When we launched our Web site in 1994, we were one of the first newspapers to set foot in cyberspace. Since then, we haven’t stopped innovating. If you’re been to our site this week, you’ve seen our latest effort: a brand new dailytarheel.com. We’ve been working on the site throughout the summer and are pleased to bring you new features that will create a better online experience. The Web site is at the forefront of our online goals for the upcoming year. Dailytarheel.com should be the place you go when you want to know what’s happening in your community. We’ll be posting more throughout the day so that if there’s something you need to know, it’ll be online.

Though the most drastic changes are coming online, that doesn’t mean our true service — reporting the news that matters to you — is a lower priority. On campus, the DTH is the only source of daily news. We’re the only entity that regularly covers student government, and we cast the most critical and steady eye on the administration. Because of this, we always take seriously the responsibility of keeping you informed and holding your leaders accountable. This year, we shoulder it again with renewed vigor and purpose. We will remain a vigilant, scrappy and aggressive newspaper and will always fight for inclusion and transparency as administrators make budget cuts and Chapel Hill and Carrboro elections go down to the wire.

Two crucial parts of our newsroom — and your pages — have been revived this year and will make our coverage more comprehensive. The arts desk is returning to cover the vibrant visual and performing arts communities surrounding campus. You’ll see everything from coverage of Carolina Performing Arts to feature stories about artists who live in Orange County. And the investigative team will again delve through documents, records and data to get the stories behind the big issues. This team of our more experienced role will invest the time to dig out stories that matter the most to you. They will also be instrumental in upholding The Daily Tar Heel’s watchdog mission and in fighting for the transparency that ensures a representative democracy.

We’ve put together a supremely talented team of staffers and editors to get all this done. But we’re going to need you to help us serve you. This year, the DTH will be more responsive, transparent and open. All of our policies are posted online, and our meetings are open to the public. We’re resurrecting the Community Feedback Board, which brings together students, faculty, staff and community members to critique the DTH and tell us how we can be doing better. And we’re creating the Innovation Team, a team of technology-minded news junkies and news-minded computer people that will help come up with ideas to keep the DTH on the forefront of reinventing journalism and develop features to anticipate audience needs.

Police join forces Student government Fewer jobs for reaching out to town on Franklin Street Teaching Fellows By Caroline Phillips Staff Writer

Today, Elizabeth Harwell begins her first day of school teaching math to 7th graders at Hawfields Middle School in Mebane. But just last week, the 2009 graduate of the UNC Teaching Fellows program didn’t have a job lined up for the year. Harwell was hired late because many counties did not hire teachers until the state budget was passed in August. Without knowing the final budget, schools didn’t know how hard they would be hit by the cuts and whether they would have money to hire new teachers. Although many of the 345 teaching fellows who graduated in 2009 initially had trouble finding jobs, it became easier once the schools knew what they had to work with. “They were told to plan for the worst and hope for the best,” Harwell said. “So they cut according to the budget last year and when the budget was approved very late in the summer, they did find out that they had more money and the positions opened back up.” N.C. Teaching Fellows receive an annual $6,500 scholarship for four years at a state university. Following graduation, fellows are required to teach for four years at a state public school in order to repay their scholarship. If they don’t complete the requirement within seven years of graduation, they have to repay their scholarship

with 10 percent interest. It is hard to determine right now how many teaching fellows are in that situation, how many found jobs last-minute and how many will find jobs in the state this year because many, like Harwell, were hired late, said Jo Ann Norris, the state-wide administrator of the Teaching Fellows scholarship. Fellows can apply for a one-year extension up to three times if they cannot fulfill their service within the seven year period. Although she was not aware of fellows doing this in the past, this is the worst economic climate the program has ever seen, Norris said. “During this climate, there’s no question that fellows are going to have to be very, very proactive.” For many teachers, this will mean working in the state’s rural areas because May graduates couldn’t find jobs in Wake, Orange and Mecklenburg counties, said Adam Buff, a 2009 UNC graduate of the program now working toward his Master of Arts in Teaching. “We have 1.46 million students in public schools in North Carolina this coming year, and so we’re going to have positions,” Norris said. “The question is … if the job is three counties over or five counties over, is that something they can do? Can they move to go where the job is?”

Once a dividing line where UNC Department of Public Safety officers’ authority was reduced to calling 911, Franklin Street is now a shared domain between Chapel Hill and campus police. Since July 1, the two departments have collaborated to heighten the police presence in Chapel Hill’s downtown business section where the two departments now share jurisdiction. Campus and town police have been patrolling together for several weeks to familiarize themselves with the other department’s protocol. The extended jurisdiction agreement, approved by Chapel Hill Town Council and Board of Trustees in late May, designates the territory between South Merritt Mill Road and the northernmost block of Raleigh Road as joint territory. McCauley Street and some streets just beyond Rosemary Street mark southern and northern boundaries. Chapel Hill Police Lt. Kevin Gunter said the agreement was propelled by the University’s increased expansion into the downtown with the recent acquisitions of Granville Towers and University Square, along with the development of Carolina North two miles off-campus. “When the Granville Towers situation was evolving, they were Contact the State & National trying to figure out a way to police Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. that property,” said Gunter. “With

it being in the central business district, it just made sense for this agreement to play out as it did.” DPS spokesman Randy Young said the agreement is especially necessary for University officers who encounter crimes en route to off-campus, UNC-owned properties while travelling through areas where town police once had sole jurisdiction. While both departments are at liberty to act upon ongoing crimes within the shared area, the department with primary jurisdiction is responsible for responding to 911 calls directed to the crime scene. University Square will continue to be under the primary jurisdiction of Chapel Hill police, at least for now, Gunter said. “The only area that falls under our primary jurisdiction at this point is Granville Towers, and the only impact we have seen as of yet is has been with a couple of EMS calls, things of that nature.” Nor has the agreement made a significant financial impact on either department — Chapel Hill police will keep the same number of officers on duty in the area and campus police have been assigned new spots. “I don’t think that was the goal, and I don’t think it will save money in the long run,” Gunter said. Young said the partnership will enhance the collaboration that was applied to increasing security for Halloween and national championship celebrations. “When we mitigate crime and when we add more resources to looking at criminal activities not only on campus but around campus, it helps both agencies,” he said.

Student government is hoping to reach out to the Chapel Hill community through a Homecoming parade, safe celebrations after games and student voices on a downtown decision-making board. They’re some of the initiatives the Jasmin Jones administration hopes will improve communication among students and residents. Jones said she also plans to continue steps taken by J.J. Raynor’s administration. “I know that from most of what I saw, Halloween was a huge accomplishment for her administration,” Jones said. “Most of the things we’re doing have come under her.” One of the newest ideas is the addition of two student positions to the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership Board of Directors. The two seats, reserved for one undergraduate student and one graduate student, were created in late spring in hopes of adding a student perspective to the decision-making process. “We need the student input to make sure what we have meets their needs as well,” said Linda Convissor, the director of local relations for the University. “They’re a large part of the community.” Convissor holds one of two seats on the Downtown Partnership board set aside for University officials. “Our downtown will never be successful if it’s just for students, but it needs to be for students, too,” she said. Junior Hilary Workman, chairwoman of the town and external relations committee on student government, occupies a student seat on the board. Workman said she will offer a student perspective Contact the City Editor the board might not have. “It makes the town run so much at citydesk@unc.edu.

more smoothly,” she said. “When you can get all the opinions on the table, everyone’s a little happier.” The board also plans on ramping up the long-standing Good Neighbor Initiative, which targets students living in neighborhoods alongside Chapel Hill residents. The board hopes to increase houses visited from 350 to 1,000 on Sept. 24, Convissor said. “It’s an opportunity to get students and neighbors talking to each other,” said Andy Pennock, the graduate student member of the board. A Homecoming parade would bring alumni back and revitalize the experience, Jones said. She’s also going to get students to listen to mayoral candidates and celebrate basketball wins more safely. “Jasmin is very committed, and it’s great,” said Meg McGurk, assistant director of the Downtown Partnership. “I think Jasmin is maybe taking it to the next level.” Jones isn’t the first to express an interest in town-student relations. During his tenure as student body president, James Allred responded to student demand and began an initiative to increase emergency call boxes and lighting off campus. In 2007, Eve Carson’s administration continued the initiative and attended a town council meeting to speak about the need. Lighting was later added in three near-campus locations. Pennock said he hopes that students will take advantage of their new voices on the Downtown Partnership board. “We’re a conduit to the mayor for the students,” he said. “We can work together because we all have a common interest.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Carolina North plans shift Council seat to be appointed Construction depends on economy by Nick Andersen Senior Writer

A development agreement between Chapel Hill and UNC for Carolina North was approved in late June, setting in motion the next 20 years of work at the University’s new satellite research campus. But actual construction on the site won’t begin until economic conditions — in the state and at the University — improve. The first buildings planned for Carolina North, the Innovation Center and a law school, have been stalled by the economic recession. “The passing of the development agreement was a major milestone,” University Board of Trustees Chairman Bob Winston said. “Now we’ve got to cross some t’s and dot some i’s.” And until the University can find proper funding from the state and alumni donors for its initiatives at Carolina North, progress will be incremental. “The development agreement is just a beginning point to address the concerns of the impact of Carolina North,” said J.B. Culpepper, planning director for Chapel Hill. For the University, approval of the development agreement was the main thrust of its work on Carolina

North until last June. “We were very much focused on concluding the official proceedings,” said Jack Evans, executive director of Carolina North. “We’ve now made a shift into the actual implementation of the development agreement.” What follows is a lot of logistics and behind-the-scenes work, including collaboration between the University and the town in studies on the transportation impact and potential carbon footprint. “We’ve used these summer months since the approval to start thinking about the reviews and follow-up plans for the site,” Culpepper said. Evans said more than 40 points of planning, review and approval must be done in coming months. But actual construction on the site hinges on wider issues of economic recovery, Evans said. “We would like to be hopeful, but we also have to be realistic,” he said. Development on the Innovation Center, a proposed incubation center for startup businesses, has been shelved by its developer, Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc., until it feels the economic conditions are right for completion of the project. Plans for the center were already approved by the Chapel Hill Town Council and the Board of Trustees

“The development agreement is just a beginning point to address the concerns of the impact.” j.b. Culpepper, planning director in an earlier vote. Funds for the law school will be provided primarily through appropriations by the N.C. General Assembly, said Katie Bowler, assistant dean for communications for the School of Law. But the funds have not yet been released for use. The Raleigh offices of design firm Smith Group, who have provided the law school with plans for the new building, will release a new report in four to six weeks reflecting changes in the school’s location on the site and an increase in the projected student population to 850. For the site itself, noticeable physical change will be slow-going until funds can jump-start construction. “Unless we find a sizable piece of money to get started on physical work, we won’t act,” Evans said. “You’re not going to see a bulldozer on Carolina North anytime soon.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

When Chapel Hill Town Council member Bill Strom resigned this month, it wasn’t the loss of a 10-year town politician that turned heads. It was the timing. Strom resigned two weeks after the filing window for November elections closed, meaning any hopeful candidate missed out on the chance to run for his empty seat. Now, the council gets to appoint Strom’s replacement. Strom had served the town since 1999, including four years as mayor pro tem. He was two years into his third term on the council, which would have expired in 2011. He issued a press release upon his resignation but has not endorsed a replacement. “The timing of my resignation was for personal reasons and also allowed me to complete some town council and Triangle Transit initiatives I’ve worked on for some time,” Strom said in an e-mail. Council member Laurin Easthom said the board will formally announce the vacant seat at their Sept. 14 meeting, when the council will begin discussing Strom’s replacement. She also said she was unaware of the reasons for Strom’s resignation. “He had his own reasons he has not shared,” Easthom said. “The facts are: He has resigned, his seat is open, and the council sitting currently has

got to deal with it.” Reaction in Chapel Hill has been mixed, but some voters speculated that Strom intentionally let the deadline pass. “It looked like he was gaming his resignation so as to force the council to make a choice, rather than give voters the opportunity to choose,” said resident Barbara Crockett. Ruby Sinreich, operator of leftleaning blog Orange Politics, said that since the details are still murky, the burden is on Strom to dispel rumors about his resignation. “He probably has the answer, but we don’t know what it is because he hasn’t said,” she said. “It would be better if he would be more public and more transparent.” With November’s Election Day on the horizon, debate has generally shifted from Strom’s motives to what comes next. Since four seats are up for grabs on the board this year, voters like Crockett are calling for the council to appoint the fifth place finisher. But Sinreich said the council should not lock itself into an arrangement too quickly. “Any assumption of automatically appointing the fifth place vote-getter won’t make sense,” she said. “The difference between fourth and fifth could be a million miles.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Traditionally, the caseload is about half academic cases and half disciplinary cases for offenses such as off-campus drunk driving offenses.

UNC-Duke rivalry strong

Tanning beds named a leading carcinogen

Relationships exist despite tension

By Rylan Miller Staff Writer

If history has taught UNC and Duke students anything since the conception of the duo’s infamous rivalry, it might be to hate thy neighboring university. But some have proven that love can exist even in a general atmosphere of hatred. Many inter-school friends, couples and siblings work through the bitter rivalry to salvage some sort of relationship.

Best friends forever UNC junior Mike Santangelo and Duke junior Alex Klein’s friendship extends back to growing up together in Chicago. However, Santangelo has always loved UNC. Klein has always loved Duke. Though the two friends are used to getting along despite their schools’ mutual dislike for each other, some wonder how their relationship exists in spite of the tension. “It’s a great social lubricant to say, ‘This is my best friend who goes to UNC,’ when we’re hanging out at Duke,” Klein said. “People ask us if it’s been hard for our friendship, but it hasn’t except when UNC beats us in basketball.” When the rivalry surfaces, it usually ends in a joke. “If I ever send him an e-mail on a Friday night, he’ll respond saying something like, ‘that’s so Duke,’” Klein said. Both believe their friendship can last through all the insults. “Outside the rivalry, I think it’s helped to maintain our friendship

because we don’t have many other friends who go to school in the South,” Santangelo said. Klein said that even with Duke’s reputation of a lacking social scene, his best friend did enjoy a Duke football tailgate he attended last year. “He was awestruck that something like that could happen at a prestigious university, and he had his mouth open all day like he was on another planet,” Klein said.

In love with a Dukie Couples have also managed to survive the two schools’ loathing. UNC junior Marlana Radcliffe and Duke junior Zach Tracer met last year when Tracer attended UNC as a Robertson Scholar. Both claim the rivalry stays out of their relationship, but they still represent their separate universities, especially in sports. “The fact that he went to Duke didn’t really change my perception of him in any fundamental way and was mostly just a fun way to tease him,” Radcliffe said. Tracer said he believes their relationship can survive the distance and the rivalry. “Over the summer, I was in Russia, and Marlana was in Colorado, which is obviously a lot farther away than the two schools,” he said. UNC sophomore Nina Gandhi also dates a Duke student and said she could easily leave the rivalry out of their relationship. “I don’ t think twice about him being a ‘Dukie’. After all, I attend the University of National Champions,” she said.

Alex Klein, left, and Mike Santangelo, long-time best friends, illustrate their allegiances to their opposing alma maters at the Old Well.

Sibling strife Duke sophomore Brad Stinson said the fact that he chose to attend Duke, and his sister, alumna Jasmine Stinson, chose to attend UNC reflects the way their relationship has always worked — love and hate. “When we were kids, we were really competitive with each other and rivals anyway, so the school rivalry is just the next step for us,” Brad Stinson said.

The Stinson family is full of Dukies, leaving his sister and mother, the only Tar Heels, vulnerable to insults. “One of us will make a comment saying that UNC is a joke, and Duke can whoop them in any sport there is. And everyone jumps in,” Brad Stinson, said. “It starts off as a joke, but in the end, someone’s feelings always get hurt.”

Ultraviolet rays produced by tanning beds have been added to the list of top carcinogens, officially ranking the quick and popular method for developing a tan alongside smoking cigarettes as a cause of cancer. Since a report linking tanning salons to skin cancer and other skin diseases was published in the July edition of The Lancet Oncology medical journal, several UNC students said they are worried about their health. Those who once looked to popular salons like Planet Beach and Palm Beach Tan for bronzed skin may now feel safer getting darker from self-tanning lotion instead. UNC sophomore Kate McGonigle said she knew even before the new list of top carcinogens that tanning beds were not for her. While in the salon, she said she noticed that tanning businesses never stated the dangers of exposing skin to ultraviolet light. “They were really just pushing their product by saying that using a tanning bed makes you feel better because you feel like you’ve been in the sun,” McGonigle said. “It seems like they’re trying to hide the risks.” Efforts to contact local tanning salons were unsuccessful. Beth Goldstein, a dermatologist at the Central Dermatology

Center in Chapel Hill, said tanning salons can no longer claim safety or health benefits. “The salons have claimed that using their beds only exposes you to UVA light, which doesn’t cause burning, and that the exposure provides you with vitamin D when you’re not getting enough,” Goldstein said. “However, now we know that UVA light gives you cancer as well and that there are plenty of other sources for vitamin D besides light exposure.” After hearing the news of how dangerous tanning beds and sun exposure actually are, McGonigle said she made more of an effort to protect herself. “I was working at a pool teaching swimming lessons, and every day I’d put on at least SPF 30 sunscreen and constantly re-apply because I was outside for so long,” McGonigle said. Goldstein said she is hopeful that the new report will cause a social shift away from worshiping bronzed skin and make tanning beds obsolete. “Slowly, I think the desire to be tan can be reversed as people learn to embrace the natural color of their skin and stop making it look like leather — or worse.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

Probation system set for signiﬁcant reform By Ariel Zirulnick State & National Editor

Through new legislation and an allotment in the state budget, the N.C. General Assembly laid the groundwork this summer for mending the state’s probation system. The next step, at least until the legislature resumes in May, is to implement the changes and spend the money as mandated. “I see no reason that it won’t go forward. There aren’t a lot of

other things to be done,” said Sen. John Snow, D-Cherokee, chairman of the appropriations on justice and public safety committee. “I think that the reform is in place and now it’s just a matter of implementation and carrying out the reform.” Almost $1.4 million was allotted in the budget for adding 18 positions. These people will be the immediate supervisors of the probation officers handling cases.

In addition, legislation was passed to permit probation officers to have access to probationers’ juvenile records, to allow police officers to search probationers without a search warrant and to allow probationers to be transferred to lesser supervision levels if they are deemed a lesser threat. The reforms stem from suggestions in recent state and federal audits that revealed an overtaxed system that failed to provide ade-

quate supervision of probationers. The audits were prompted by the 2008 killings of former UNC Student Body President Eve Carson and Duke University graduate student Abhijit Mahato — the suspects charged with their deaths were both already on probation. Although the Department of Correction did receive some cuts — among them the elimination of 14 judicial district offices, whose work will be picked up by the remaining

offices — they now have some of the tools to make necessary changes, said Keith Acree, Department of Correction public affairs director. “We’re certainly happy with what we got. We did actually get new resources when most agencies didn’t get anything,” he said. The budget allotment and new legislation will require significant reorganization within the department, Acree said. Meanwhile, the probation system

is shifting its approach to classifying offenders, relying more on their “true risk” rather than their criminal conviction for determining their supervision level, he said. “The reforms that we made — I think they very well address (problems) that probation was having,” Snow said. “I can’t think of a lot of things that we didn’t do.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

Carrboro considers new ArtsCenter gets new leader affordable housing plan by anika anand ASSISTANT CITY EDITOR

By Sarah Morayati Staff Writer

Building affordable housing can require counties to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal subsidies — money that adds up. An ordinance being considered by the Carrboro Board of Aldermen aims to change this by allowing developers to build fewer affordable houses but sell them for lower prices. By law, 15 percent of homes in a development must be made affordable to families who earn 80 percent of the Raleigh-DurhamChapel Hill area’s median income. The new ordinance would lower the requirement. For instance, developers could make 10 percent of their homes affordable but price them at 65 percent of the median income. It was proposed in June by Robert Dowling, executive director of Community Home Trust, an Orange County affordable housing organization. Since many families cannot afford houses at the 80 percent level, the land trusts must resell these units and reduce their prices.

“If you’re pricing it right at 80 percent, there are very few people who could actually buy those units,” Dowling said. Reducing the price of a unit requires federal subsidy money that goes through the county, often up to $20,000 to $25,000 each. For a development with many units, these costs can add up quickly. The issue has been brought to the forefront as several condominium projects, such as East 54 and Greenbridge, were approved in the past few years. It’s not often that this many developments spring up at the same time, Dowling said. “Clearly, Chapel Hill and Carrboro are moving toward a new model of development,” he said. Orange County is currently receiving about the same amount of federal subsidy money as in past years, Dowling said. If these projects are all built around the same time — even as far in the future as 2011 — there wouldn’t be enough funding, he said. Further complicating the issue, the county must share this fed-

eral money with other housing projects, such as transitional and lower-income homes, Alderman Dan Coleman said. “It’s a challenge for us to come up with those subsidies,” he said. Although the proposed ordinance could result in fewer affordable housing units approved, the change would probably not affect the number built in the near future because developers already have significant backlogs. Many projects are being delayed due to the economic situation. The board could set the required percentages of affordable housing itself depending on the development, giving the board more flexibility. The ordinance might allow the board to keep the requirement at 15 percent for certain developments if it saw fit and reduce it for others. “Trying to write one ordinance that fits all of these various options is really difficult,” Dowling said. Town staff members will present their findings to the board this fall at a date to be determined. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

As a group of new after-school volunteers received an orientation of The ArtsCenter in Carrboro, Ed Camp offered a friendly greeting. “This is my first day, too,” he said. Camp began his duties as the executive director of The ArtsCenter on Monday after finishing his final day as University Mall’s general manager Friday. Camp’s first day was packed with meeting after meeting, discussing how to transition and how to best move forward. “My greatest strength is the ability to determine what customers care about in the community,” he said. Camp realized the power of the arts community in the area last May, he said. As University Mall’s general manager, he partnered with The ArtsCenter to showcase artists’ work at the mall. “Arts and business can go hand in hand,” he said. “The arts community is the best way to recruit new businesses, and I think The ArtsCenter plays a significant role in developing the soul of this community.” Camp said his first day was a lot like the first day of school. “It’s a lot like getting into your

locker and figuring out how to use your trapper keeper.” He’s succeeding Jon Wilner, who is retiring after six years. Wilner, who has a background in acting and directing, tells the story of how he became The ArtsCenter’s executive director. It’s a long one, he warned. “Because of my background, what I was good at was developing quality programming, finding the right people to manage those programs and encouraging them to collaborate,” Wilner said. He said he decided to retire after facing a series of personal challenges this year. He also said he thought it was time that he and The ArtsCenter needed a change. “When I decided to retire, the board made a wise choice in choosing Ed,” Wilner said. “He will be able to take that next step and effectively market our programming.” Camp said working in the current economic environment will be one of his greatest challenges this year. Because he already feels confident about The ArtsCenter’s product, now it’s just a matter of telling the ArtsCenter’s story better and the money will come, he said. Wilner said he has full faith in his successor.

ArtsCenter Executive Director Ed Camp stands by a display in the building’s lobby. Monday was his first day in the new position.

“Ed has two qualities I’ve noticed,” he said. “He is compassionate and has an open mind, and those are especially important around here in this creative environment. “My best advice to him is just to maintain those two qualities.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Money harder to get in Towing rules could change Orange County, Carrboro by Mark Abadi Assistant city editor

Population size affects stimulus funds By Sarah Frier City Editor

Jerry Passmore, Director

Orange County’s population is fewer than 200,000, it’s not entitled to stimulus funds. County workers apply for funds. After several applications, here’s what it has received so far: $183,000 - two 25-foot buses $362,556 - two 22-foot liftequipped buses and three 28-foot lift-equipped buses

CHAPEL HILL: Chapel Hill

The Town of Chapel Hill, entitled to stimulus funds because of population size, already has received more than six times the amount of money received by Orange County. In addition to his normal work, Best lines up the potential projects with no idea how much the county can hope to receive or what new technologies or projects will earn the county stimulus dollars in the future. “It’s elusive,” he said. “A lot of the stimulus programs are still being developed.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

ing lot. Price said he considers the signs in his parking lot adequate, but understands Wolf ’s frustration and would support any proposed improvements. “If it’s dark and you’re not looking for it, you’re not going to see it,” he said. But Wolf thinks it ’s time Carrboro improved the signage in the 300 lot. “If every spot was a true towaway zone, they should have an upright sign right in front,” he said. “Towing is enough of a major deal that you just can’t write something on paint in the asphalt that can wear away.” Price said when customers aren’t sure, they can park at any of three municipal parking lots in the surrounding area. “You should know to look for towing enforcement if you’ve been living in Chapel Hill or Carrboro for a number of years,” he said. Coleman said the board would discuss the proposed changes at a future work session.

ect, public works director George Seiz said. The funds are allocated through the Durham-Chapel HillCarrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization. The stimulus funds the county has received so far apply toward projects it wouldn’t have spent money on this year anyway — light-transit buses for the Department on Aging. “We never would have bought anything this year or next year with the budget,” said Jerry Passmore, director of the Department on Aging. “We were fortunate. Our buses are falling apart.” The buses were indirectly funded through the money the Metropolitan Planning Organization got from the American Recover y and Reinvestment Act. The other projects the department has applied for and could get money for before mid-September include bike racks for buses, bus shelters in Hillsborough and transit software that would cooperate with Chapel Hill Transit’s. “With 100 counties in North Carolina and probably 60 or so with transit operations requesting this stuff, with rural counties asking for a lot of the same things we do, it’s very competitive,” Passmore said. “But the county doesn’t have money.”

Orange County and the town of Carrboro have had a hard time getting a hold of stimulus funds that larger counties and cities are receiving almost effortlessly. Because the county has a population of fewer than 200,000 and the town has a population of fewer than 35,000, both have to compete for funds. But larger counties and cities, like Chapel Hill, are entitled to money, assistant county manager Willie Best said. “We just have to constantly be applying for things, probably for the next two years,” he said. “It makes it more difficult for us because we’re competing against other places in North Carolina and across the country.” It’s hard to predict when the money will come in. Best will have to seek out opportunities to fund county projects as they come along for possibly the next two years, he said. Best said he hopes for an opportunity to use stimulus funds for broadband in rural Orange County and replacing lights in schools, but he’s not picky, either. “We’re sort of looking at everything,” he said. If he finds something applicable, Best usually informs a county department of its opportunity to receive the funds, then the department drafts a project proposal, he said. The county has received a total of $545,556 in stimulus funds, mostly for transportation, Best said Thursday. Carrboro is still waiting for about $403,500 in stimulus reimbursement for two sidewalk projects and a bus shelter proj-

“We never would have bought anything this year or next year with the budget.”

One man’s complaint about his car getting towed might inspire Carrboro government to reconsider local towing regulations. Jack Wolf, a Hillsborough resident, left The ArtsCenter with his wife Aug. 8 to find his car towed. It was only after he walked down the row of parking spots that he saw a sign designating them as reserved for VisArt Video customers only. Wolf said the sign in the 300 E. Main St. lot was poorly labeled, ambiguous and not visible from the side where cars enter. Wolf also complained that the painted white markings on the asphalt indicating the towing enforcement were partially faded and sloppily placed. “It’s unreasonable that the spots are so poorly marked,” he said. He told Carrboro’s Board of Aldermen of his experience via e-mail, and they listened. In an e-mail, Town Manager Ste ve Ste war t sug ges ted to Alderman Dan Coleman that staff consider adopting towing regulations similar to Chapel Hill’s. Chapel Hill’s rules require that 2-foot by 2-foot signs indicating towing zones be prominently placed at any curbs or vehicular access points. They dictate the height of the letters in the words “Tow-Away Zone” — at least 1.5 inches — and that the words must be printed on a contrasting background for easy visibility. “I hear problems all the time with towing and people getting towed unexpectedly,” Coleman said. “If people can be towed, there ought to be clear signs.” Cameron Price, a VisArt Video employee, said he enforces the store’s towing policy only when Cat’s Cradle and The ArtsCenter are hosting events, which tend to draw crowds and fill up the park-

“I can only assume that thousands of dollars are being lost by citizens and visitors to Carrboro every weekend,” Wolf wrote in the e-mail. “It is ordinary citizens like myself, many who are unaware that they will be towed, who are paying thousands of dollars at the behest of one video store.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Twenty years ago, a group of students fell in love with “Les Miserables.” After seeing the show about 17 times on Broadway, they transcribed the script and returned to UNC intent on performing. They performed the show as a benefit, and Pauper Players, a student-run musical theater group, was born from the funds of that first performance. “We’re completely student run,” said Elissa Rumer, business administrator for Pauper. “It’s purely a labor of love.” The group performs three full musicals a year with an additional Broadway review. Their first production of the year is Andrew Lippa’s “The Wild Party” on Oct. 30. “It’s a big roaring ‘20s show about a couple,” Rumer said. “To make each other jealous, they devise a plan to throw the party of the century.” The musical has a large ensemble cast, which is unusual for Pauper, she said. Looking back on previous Pauper shows, Rumer said her favorite production was “A New Brain.” “The cast and staff incorporated a few generations of Pauper,” Rumer said, adding that the cast would sit around and share stories. People can be involved in all the shows or just a few, but the group tries to have regular get-togethers outside the theater, said Charlie Clark, production administrator. “We really try to keep an open, inclusive environment,” he said. The group also plans to have additional events to celebrate their 20th anniversary, such as alumni events. These are still in the works, Clark said. But even after 20 years, not everyone knows of Pauper. “Theater is still pretty hidden on campus,” said Aaron Salley, Pauper publicity administrator. “Pauper offers something for everybody,” he said. “It’s just a shame we don’t get more people involved.” Pauper Players will have an interest meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Student Union, Room 2518.

The Daily Tar Heel

Doucette back Despite past issues, ASG moving forward for another year Association of student governments

By Olivia Bowler Senior Writer

Looking beyond structural change

Greg Doucette is returning for his second year as president of the Association of Student Governments.

By Olivia Bowler Senior Writer

One year of representing 216,000 students was not enough for Greg Doucette, president of the UNC-system Association of Student Governments. Doucette is beginning his second year as UNC-system students’ voice to some of the most powerful higher education officials in the state. Doucette, who was a senior at N.C. State University when he was first elected in 2008 and is now a first-year law student at N.C. Central University, said he is looking forward to going beyond operational improvements. “I’ve already got the experience so we don’t have to do a lot of the stuff we did last year,” he said. “I’m not having to invest my office’s time and energy into making forms in Microsoft Word. I can focus more intently on the stuff that matters.” Doucette said he spent his first year making structural changes and attempting to restore ASG’s reputation — the association was known by many as inefficient. With many of the about 80 members returning, bucking a trend of high turnover, Doucette said less time will need to be spent on orientation and training. “We have the most qualified staff we’ve ever had,” he said. “We

all have the benefit of experience now.” Doucette said he will be involved in fewer outside activities and is looking to dedicate more time to the position. Last year he juggled the roles of ASG president, N.C. State University Senate president, and research intern at the N.C. General Assembly. “This year, I’m just a student,” he said. Doucette said his relationship with the Board of Governors has improved. The ASG president is a nonvoting member of the board, which crafts policy for the UNC system. “I think the reason for it is that there continues to be widespread participation from all the student body presidents and their delegations,” he said. Ira Lawson, head of the committee on Academic and Student Affairs, said that Doucette has become the face of the organization. “Greg’s our sergeant general and we’re his army,” he said. “I think UNC ASG is going to be very successful this year.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

A statewide student organization is gearing up to weigh in on major higher education issues, and leaders say the group will be well-equipped to do that after addressing problems that have plagued it in the past. The UNC-system Association of Student Governments is entering its second year under the presidency of N.C. Central University law student Greg Doucette, who said he believes the group is better established as a legitimate organization and is ready to take on some big projects. The association brings together student leaders from the UNCsystem schools to share ideas and resources and to advocate for students with system and state leaders. Doucette said ASG leaders spent much of last year trying to strengthen and legitimize the association, which has been accused of ineffectiveness in the past. It also had to overcome the fallout of a former president being charged with assault. After a year of rebuilding, Doucette said ASG is well-prepared to give input on big topics like student health care and tuition. The Board of Governors and UNC General Administration have been willing to work with the organization, and the relationship between ASG and the system leaders has improved in the course of the last year, Doucette said. Another relationship that seems to be on the mend is the one between UNC-Chapel Hill and ASG — UNC-CH’s role was contentious last year because of former Student Body President J.J. Raynor’s decision to send a proxy to all meetings in her place. Current Student Body President Jasmin Jones has already attended meetings and is planning on full participation this year. “They’ve been really welcoming and they’re excited about it,” Jones said. “I think all the other schools have a good perception of what UNC is going to be this year, and I’m excited about that too.” Jones said she is hoping to collaborate with the other student body presidents on campus safety initiatives.

Collaboration across the board hasn’t always been easy in ASG because of both racial divides and priority disparities between large and small schools in the system. In past years, schools tended to align with schools with similar characteristics, creating voting blocs in ASG that hindered their efficacy. But Doucette said in his first

year as president, that changed. “The success that we had last year confirmed to folks that the old alliances weren’t applicable,” he said. “It was a change in the vision of leadership … and the way we conducted ourselves.” ASG hopes to continue its efforts to be an accurate voice to the Board of Governors, said Ira Lawson, head

of the committee on Academic and Student Affairs, and is showing a united front to further that goal. “I think there’s always strength in numbers,” Lawson said. “I feel that everybody has their heads on straight.” Contact the State & National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

National and World News H1N1 considered Pakistan Taliban chooses new leader, epidemic in Japan ending succession fragmentation TOKYO (MCT) — Experts are urging authorities to do more to prevent the spread of the new H1N1 strain of influenza, or swine flu, with one predicting that up to 60 million Japanese could become infected. The Japanese government announced Friday that the new flu has reached the epidemic stage in Japan. The flu is considered to be an epidemic when the average number of flu patients a week per medical institution tops 1. It is not unusual for a medical institution to have more than 40 seasonal flu patients per week in the winter.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (MCT) — Faced with possible rifts after a U.S. drone strike apparently killed leader Baitullah Mahsud, the Pakistani Taliban announced Saturday that it had chosen one of his deputies to succeed him. A 28-year-old commander named Hakimullah Mahsud will lead Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, a militant organization based in the tribal areas along the Afghan border and blamed for many of the suicide bombings and other attacks that have plagued Pakistan. Experts say Hakimullah Mahsud has a reputation for being

just as ruthless but lacking his predecessor’s ability to keep rival factions within the Taliban unified. The Taliban in Pakistan is a loose coalition of tribal militant groups that Baitullah Mahsud had pulled under one banner in 2007. The Taliban has been embroiled in clashes over the succession since the drone strike. At one point, security officials claimed that Hakimullah Mahsud had been killed in one of those clashes, but the Taliban commander called media outlets the next day to say he was alive and to deny that the Taliban was fragmenting.

Earth’s core has cooled slightly

Violence strains Iraqi relations

Nigeria cease-ﬁre only temporary

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Government measurements show that the world’s core temperature has cooled since reaching its most recent peak in 1998. That’s given global warming skeptics new ammunition to attack the theory of climate change. Skeptics argue that the stretch of slightly cooler temperatures means that measures to limit carbon dioxide emissions are unnecessary. Many scientists agree, however, that hotter times are ahead and say that a decade of level or slightly lower temperatures is only a temporary dip as a result of natural variations.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Military officials are anxiously watching the partnership between Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq. Sunni militants are widely thought responsible for bombings Wednesday that left 95 dead, the latest in a series of blasts. A crucial question is whether the larger Sunni community has begun supporting the attacks. The U.S. withdrawal from Iraqi cities has unnerved Sunnis who saw the U.S. presence as protection against Shiite oppression, and experts hope Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki finds a way to calm Sunni fears.

ABUJA, Nigeria (MCT) — Nigeria’s latest plan to end militant attacks in the volatile Niger River delta that have cut oil production to a 20-year low appears to have collapsed. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the plan during a visit to Nigeria earlier this month in hopes of bringing some semblance of peace to a region that is a major U.S. source of oil. But the delta’s main militant group over the weekend dismissed the three-week-old plan as “a charade” and vowed to resume attacks after a cease-fire expires Sept. 15.

Soccer teams off to winning start By Powell latimer Sports Editor

While most students were moving in last weekend, North Carolina’s men’s and women’s soccer teams were busy starting their respective seasons — and busy winning. The men’s team opened up action at Fetzer Field on Friday with a 2-1 exhibition win against Georgetown, trying to validate their preseason No. 2 national ranking.

Bill Dworsky and freshman Enzo Martinez both scored. The women’s team launched their national title defense in impressive fashion by downing No. 3 UCLA 7-2. Last season’s leading scorer Casey Nogueira chipped in two goals in the game, and it’s hard to imagine a more emphatic start to UNC’s season, especially given senior midfielder Tobin Heath’s

Money a-’PLENTY’

Senior Writer

Scattered around Student Stores are signs proclaiming where their earnings go — scholarships. But this year, the earnings might be lower. A combination of new fees charged by the University, competition from other retailers and less spending from students and departments could decrease this year’s earnings, reducing the amount of aid the stores can give. The state will add an additional operations tax that will detract from Student Stores’ overall profit, said Shirley Ort, director of scholarships and student aid. She said the stores usually give about $500,000 to scholarships each year. But Jim Powell, the stores’ business manager, said decreased earnings could mean just internal shuffling instead of drastically less money for scholarships. “These increased fees to receiptsupported groups will be hundreds of thousands of dollars in our case,” Powell said. “We still plan on giving scholarships and cutting back elsewhere where we can, but we’ll just have to see.” Powell said he hasn’t seen much change in student spending this year, but said sales to academic departments have dropped off slightly. “Departmental sales at this time of year aren’t very great, but they have their own internal budget cuts, so they have cut back a little bit,” he said. August brings a big rush in student spending on textbooks and merchandise, Powell said, which usually totals about $3 million. Earnings won’t be distributed until November, after sale totals have been calculated. “Late October, once all our numbers have come in, that’s when we’ll be able to look at that information and see what we can do,” he said.

This year, don’t be afraid to mix it up

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR With new school year, be sure to challenge yourself

here’s a new display in the front window of Student Stores. UNC sweatshirts hang on mannequins and attractive models sport Tar Heel emblazoned tote bags. But this one has an extra element unseen before on campus: the pictures of the factory workers who spun, dyed, sewed, silk screened, ironed and packaged the Carolina blue clothes which hang on gold hangers just inside the doors. Welcome to Schoolhouse — a combination of style and Sri Lanka — founded by Rachel Weeks, age 24. Weeks has a passion for feminism, reflected best by the title of her undergraduate thesis: “The Wonder Bra: Theorizing Globalization, Women’s Labor, and Consumption for TwentyFirst Century Feminism.” But the two didn’t easily mix. “I was always struggling to find the gray area in between,” she says. The majority of clothing sold in the U.S. is produced abroad, with many of the workers being women and earning less than a dollar a day. Though Weeks was not able to overhaul the entire garment production model, she was able to find a place to make a difference and use both her passions. Weeks founded Schoolhouse in hopes of benefitting all women involved — she didn’t have to disregard her appreciation for both equal rights and espadrilles. The factory, like most clothing factories, employs a majority of women. But unlike most clothing factories, Schoolhouse provides a living wage. From their efforts, the women of Chapel Hill gain garments that are well made, fit for a woman’s body and cute to sport everywhere, from dorms to football games. And both sides of production benefit from understanding more about our economic global connection, getting to benefit and support a group on the other side of the world. What does this mean for UNC besides sweet new Tar Heel gear? Weeks made Schoolhouse a reality by embracing and challenging two seemingly incompatible parts of herself: fashion and feminism. Our campus is made up of a plethora of possibilities. Most of us can easily list off different social groups on campus — the pearls and popped collars on frat court, the language majors smoking under the tree on Polk Place, the granola types pitching farmer’s market wares in the Pit — and can within moments sort people into categories. Many of the faces passing you in the Pit are strangers and will remain so. Most likely you will never see the face of the person who sewed the seam in your underwear. But Schoolhouse hopes to begin to bridge that gap, one campus at a time, and I challenge you to do the same. The campus becomes richer with each hybrid — which comes from allowing people a chance to experiment with the interests that both compliment and contradict who you think they really are: athletic nerds, vegan frat boys, activist emos and, of course, fashionable feminists. This new school year, dare to investigate new interests, new people and new groups. Delight in the unexpected, and don’t turn over to the crossword puzzle just because a column headed “women and gender issues” makes your eyes roll. Embrace differences, explore possibilities and don’t sell a gal short just because she’s rocking Go-Go boots with a UNC hoodie. She may be the next big thing of collegiate apparel.

New year, high standards A successful year depends on holding everybody on campus accountable

t should come as no surprise that Carolina students hold themselves to a high standard. And it’s imperative that student leaders and University administrators are held to the same high standard. On the brink of a new school year, students have high hopes for our grades, social lives and student government. And making this a successful year requires hard work. But in order to see that success, it’s also up to student leaders and administrators to promote students’ interests and be held accountable for their actions. That’s where we come in. It’s our job — as well as the student body’s — to keenly follow the actions and policies of

the student government and campus administrators. We elect the members of the student government to serve our best interests and accurately represent our views. We’re here, as an editorial board, to make sure they’re doing that. Student Body President Jasmin Jones has great goals and ideas in her platform, but these great ideas are of no use if they are never instituted. It’s their job to follow through with ideas such as Jones’ green initiative, Safe Celebration and the “Carolina Connections Mentoring Program.” We want to ensure that our newest student body president and her team of student leaders are actively involved

in the school and community throughout the entire year. T h e n t h e r e ’s S t u d e n t Congress — it passes resolutions dictated by student opinion and can amend the Student Code. But the most important task of Student Congress is allocating student fee money. Doling out thousands of dollars of your money is a huge responsibility. Therefore it’s vital we — and the student body in general — keep an eye on this process to make sure its wellexecuted. Students need to know that they can rely on their campus leaders to make a difference. This year no one will be allowed to sit on their laurels.

A taxing problem

Tuition hike that beneﬁts state, not students is unjust and deserves to be reevaluated

n Aug. 7, the N.C. General Assembly mandated a $200 tuition hike for the 2010-11 school year for all UNC-system students. But no student will see the benefit of the hike on campus because the money is going right back to the state. The principle of raising money from students, many of whom already struggle to fund their education, is deplorable. The funds generated from this tax could easily surpass $3 million from undergraduate students at UNC-Chapel Hill. That money belongs to our school, not the General

Assembly. The new tuition increase is the equivalent of a regressive tax on public higher education in North Carolina. However, because the tax is masked as a tuition hike, the General Assembly did not levy the tax on private schools. These schools also benefit from the state and its residents. Therefore, a tax on tuition should not discriminate. The state should have devised a system where private universities or colleges help bear the burden of the deficit. But what ultimately hurts students the most is that this tax replaces the regular tuition process which prioritizes our

university’s needs. No one said fixing the budget crisis would be easy. UNC students have seen firsthand how budget cuts currently affect and will continue to change the quality of their education. A tuition increase during economic difficulty is — to an extent — justified. But forcing students to pay up in this manner is wrong. It is never right to take and offer nothing in return — especially when many students will be paying for such a “tax” with student loans. The General Assembly should take its hand out of the cookie jar and leave students and their families alone.

Let them organize

Faculty/staff adviser rule for student groups can end up hindering debate on campus

he recent plight of the controversial group Yo u t h f o r We s t e r n Civilization exposed a weakness in the faculty and staff adviser requirement for student groups. Chris Clemens, an astronomy professor, declined to serve as the right-wing organization’s adviser again this year. Only after months of doubt has the group now been able to find another faculty member to take over. Requiring a faculty or staff member to advise a group can end up being a burden on smaller, more controversial organizations — some of which struggle to find an adviser. There should be another way

for organizations like YWC to exist. The adviser requirement should not be a hindrance to campus dialogue. Yes, YWC was a contentious group, but it sparked serious dialogue on campus. It hosted conservative speakers, including former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, who was ultimately prevented from speaking due to protests. Granted, advisers have a role to play in providing organizational management, guidance and oversight. Members never remain for more than four years. And long-term faculty advisers can serve as an anchor of stability for organizations whose memberships are constantly in flux.

While organizations without advisers should be the exception and not the rule, it would truly be a shame to prohibit altogether their existence. Without official recognition from the University, student groups cannot apply for funding or book rooms on campus. There should be another avenue for small groups that cannot find an adviser to express themselves. Perhaps placing a cap on membership for organizations without advisers would be a good compromise. It would truly be unfortunate to let an erroneous requirement stifle future debate. The adviser requirement should be reevaluated and revised.

TO THE EDITOR: It’s time. It’s time to begin your year by taking hold of all of the opportunities that are set in front of you. Be the excellent student that you are by going to all of your classes, studying hard for you tests, and talking with your professors and classmates. Be an adventurous student by looking for a study abroad program to travel with, creating a new project to embark on or joining a new group that is outside of your comfort zone. Be a proactive student by working with University Career Services to get a job or an internship secured for your summer or years beyond Carolina, to study for the GRE, MCAT, or LSAT early so that you can be one of the first to apply to graduate or professional schools. Or make a plan for everything that you want to achieve during the 2009-10 academic year. And I urge to you to keep up with your academics by checking in with an academic adviser and always seeking help when you need it from the Dean of Students office to Campus Health Services. Now is the time to begin to make your pathway at Carolina build towards your future. This message goes to all students ranging from the 17-yearold first-years to the non-traditional students that attend UNC. We have the chance to make the world into our own vision by making the right decisions and participating in positive activities that motivate us to do well. Jasmin Jones Student Body President

Carolina Women’s Center welcomes the new year TO THE EDITOR: T h e C a r o l i n a Wo m e n’s Center is excited to welcome everyone to the 2009-10 academic year! The engaged and thoughtful students in my Summer Reading Program discussion group Monday afternoon — along with my fabulous student cofacilitator — remind me of what a joy, privilege, and responsibility it is to be part of the Carolina Campus. The mission of the CWC is to pursue gender equity at UNC-CH and beyond. Through education, advocacy, and interdisciplinary research, we build bridges and enhance the intellectual life and public engagement mission of the University. We work in coalition with many other campus units, academic departments, and student groups to achieve our vision: an inclusive educational and work environment where gender is not a barrier to success, difference and diversity are celebrated, and everyone is safe to live, learn, teach and work without threat of harm or unequal treatment. The gender equity issues in which we’re currently involved include violence prevention, closing gender gaps, combating sex trafficking, family advocacy and redefining gender norms. Please join us on Wednesday, Aug. 26, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. for our Women’s Equality Day Lawn Party! Check out our space (including our library and lounge), celebrate the passage of the 19th amendment, learn about our ongoing activities and explore volunteer opportunities. Ashley, Lucinda, Pam, Elissa, Anne, Geoff and I are looking forward to a chance to talk with you.
