UNC wants Wendy’s in Union BY Seth Leonard Staff Writer

features| page 3 OH, BABY A UNC freshman longs for her 17-month-old son, whom she has to leave with her family in Kinston while she attends classes.

Administrators are leaning toward putting a Wendy’s fast food eatery in the bottom floor of the Student Union within three years. The decision to install a fast food restaurant in the current first-floor copy center is part of a large-scale plan to expand dining options on North Campus and alleviate crowding in Lenoir Dining Hall. The installation of the restaurant would cost about $1.5 million and would be paid for by a student

The new restaurant has to meet habits and preferences. On Oct. 19, members of CDS and three criteria developed in response representatives from MarketMatch to market research, including stuwill present their findings to the dent feedback, Freeman said. The guidelines were developed Union Board of Directors and

because some restaurants on North Campus have failed — including Burger King in Lenoir. MarketMatch’s research found that students have certain requirements of on-campus restaurants. The establishment has to provide quick service, which limits the choice to a fast food eatery. It also needs to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and remain open for 24 hours. The average meal also needs to cost less than $6.50. The restaurant must also be able to physically fit into the space currently occupied by the copy center. The copy center would move to an

undetermined space in Student Stores. MarketMatch also analyzed foot traffic patterns on campus, distributed surveys, held focus groups and conducted interviews to help CDS learn how to best maximize their space and meet student demands, Freeman said. The study also divided the campus into 14 geographic locations and calculated which dining establishments residents could reach within a five minute walk.

Unique allergy can’t slow UNC’s Dawson By Mark Thompson Senior WRITER

A teenage girl steps out of the shower. She has just finished washing away the toils of a long basketball practice. But, as she steps out, she sees a rash covering her body. Meghan Dawson is allergic to her own sweat — but she doesn’t know it yet. “I got out of the shower and I was like, ‘Wow,’ and I had a rash all covering my body,” said Dawson, a defensive back on North Carolina’s field hockey team. “And I was like ‘Mom, look it’s everywhere.’” Dawson was in the eighth grade when she first noticed the developing allergy. After multiple trips to the doctor, Dawson still didn’t know the source of her reaction. It wasn’t until high school that doctors determined she was allergic to her own sweat. “At first I was just like, ‘Wow, this is awful. This is really bad.’ It would itch and my body would become overheated and I would just feel like I was on fire,” Dawson said. “And I also developed asthma from it, so I would have an inhaler.” Despite this, Dawson continued to play sports and said she refused to let this new barrier stop her. Over time Dawson noticed her reaction was less severe when she was outdoors, presenting fewer problems when she played her first love: field hockey.

A humble beginning Dawson was the sixth out of eight children born to Dave and Karen Dawson — two boys and six girls. And although each of the six daughters is a good field hockey player, they came from humble beginnings. “My next-door neighbor used to be my history teacher, and what he did was, he had these sticks and he handed them over the fence and said, ‘Here, let the girls play with them’ and I had no idea what they were,” her father said. Those sticks were field hockey sticks. After that, the girls spent hours hitting balls against the brick foundation and staging games in their Berlin, N.J., backyard. “When they missed it would hit the basement windows and I was replacing basement windows all the time,” Dave

Dawson is a starting defensive back on North Carolina’s field hockey team and part of a unit that leads the NCAA in goals allowed with just 0.2 per game. Dawson said. Meghan Dawson first played in fifth grade for her school. Throughout grade school she played basketball and softball, but field hockey was her passion. As a junior and senior, she earned All-American honors in field hockey and received a scholarship to UNC. UNC knew what kind of player Dawson was when they recruited her.

The family business The Dawson family is laden with field hockey talent. All three of Dawson’s older sisters have played for the U.S. national team. Dawson’s older sister Rachel was a star at North Carolina from 2003 to 2007 and won National Player of the Year as a senior. Her younger sister, Hannah, plays field hockey at the University of Michigan while Melanie, the youngest, is a senior in high school. In the 11 years that a Dawson has played field hockey at Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees, N.J., the team has gone 251-7-8 and won 10 consecutive state titles. “One thing about all the Dawsons is that they are competitors and they play

with heart, and Meghan has that,” coach Karen Shelton said. “And, now that she’s back in and she’s in the starting position, her level of confidence is getting better and better and better and so that heart is going to start coming through more and more.” When Dawson came on her official recruiting visit, Rachel was away representing the U.S. national team. “She was still overseas in the World Cup, so when I came on my official, she wasn’t here. It was like, ‘This is what it would be like without Rach’,” Dawson said. “But, I mean, it’s always nice to have a sister on the team and it was already like a home for her and I just kind of stepped in and it was kind of an easier transition.” Dawson enrolled at UNC and chose not to redshirt her first season, admitting that much of the decision was because she wanted to play with Rachel. The decision paid off, as the duo was a part of UNC’s undefeated national champion squad that season. Dawson took a medical redshirt the following year after suffering a seasonending injury in the fifth game.

No sweat Now a sophomore for the second time, Dawson has earned a starting job on the defense and found a niche in the locker room. So far she’s been part of a unit that is surrendering 0.2 goals per game, the best clip in the nation. “Each game she’s played this season she’s gotten a little bit better, a little more confident, and she’s really playing well,” Shelton said. “I feel really good about Meghan Dawson and her development.” Dawson combats occasional breakouts by showering as soon as she can after a game or practice. She still carries an inhaler for the rare, random moments when she has trouble breathing. Dawson refuses to let her affliction dictate her playing field hockey — Shelton didn’t know she had it at all, and neither did many of her teammates. “She’s delightful,” Shelton said. “She’s got this way about her. She’s got this laid-back, easy, funny, dancy personality that’s really nice in the locker room. She’s just Meghan.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Members of UNC’s provost search committee have spent weeks getting input from campus administrators. Now they’re ready to act. The selection process will ramp up in coming weeks as committee members begin narrowing the pool of applicants. And while UNC has seen a string of high-level administrators selected from within its own ranks, most of the applicants from this search are from outside the University. The position opened in June, when Provost Bernadette Gray-Little left to become chancellor of the University of Kansas. Whoever becomes the next provost, UNC’s chief academic officer, will directly oversee the University’s deans and some vice chancellors. The new provost will work with the chancellor to determine academic policy and lead the University’s review of its academic plan. Although the candidate pool is mostly external, search committee chairman Shelton Earp said he thought the number of internal candidates was about right. “There is a whole universe of people outside the University,” Earp said. “There are only so many inter-

Germans ﬁrst place as (worst) lovers

From staff and wire reports

ever been to Germany. But apparently they are smelly dudes. A poll of 15,000 women declared that Germans are the worst lovers in the world because of their stench. The poll, taken by the Web site www.OnePoll.com, asked women from 20 countries to rate various nations’ men based on their ability in bed and to give reasons for their answers. The English were accused of letting women do all the work. Turkey was too sweaty. Wales was too selfish. Scotland was too loud. And Russia was too hairy. The U.S. ranked as fifth worst for being too rough. Maybe the poll is right. But Spain was ranked to have the best lovers, which calls into question its integrity. NOTED. An Oklahoma woman was robbed of a diaper bag at gunpoint at 1 a.m. Tuesday by a female and two males. The female suspect asked the woman if she could use her cell phone. Soon after, one of the males pulled a gun on her. The other male pepper-sprayed her and stole her diaper bag, which had nothing of value inside. Think before you literally stink, robbers.

Top of Lenoir could expand 20,000 Proposals received mixed reactions By Katie little Staff writer

The University is considering plans to expand the Top of Lenoir dining hall as part of a long-term renovation of campus dining facilities. Scott Myers, director of food and vending at UNC, said the plan would address overcrowding, which has been a problem for several years during peak hours at the dining hall. The plan calls for about 200 more seats to be added to the building’s second floor. “Dining for students that live on campus is just such an integral part of their campus experience,” he said. “If they have problems with getting in, getting their food, sitting down and eating a nutritious meal, then that’s a problem.” The plan to increase seating in Top of Lenoir to about 850 seats is part of an estimated $18 million plan to improve campus dining facilities. The addition — which is projected to cost about $5 million — would close the open-air space next

to Mediterranean Deli. Myers said another $1.5 million will go toward the development of a 24-hour dining area in the bottom of the Student Union, where the copy center currently operates. The rest of the money will be spent on replacing office space with additional seating in the basement of Lenoir. The plan will be funded by a proposed student dining debt fee increase and dining operational revenues — the money that is received from providing dining services after expenses. “If we don’t get the fee increase, it will just take longer to do things,” Myers said. He said he hopes to complete the plan in five years. The $18.25 fee increase is being considered by the student fee advisory subcommittee on Friday. Even if it receives approval from that group, it must be approved by higher administrative levels, including the Board of Trustees and the UNC-system Board of Governors.

Myers said he first noticed an overcrowding problem during the fall 2007. The decision to renovate Lenoir follows a year-long market analysis by the MarketMatch team, which studied dining options throughout the entire campus. The findings of this study will be presented to student leaders and UNC administrators Oct. 19. The original plan to address overcrowding was to construct a new dining facility, which Myers said was not feasible. “There’s nowhere to put another facility,” he said. “It’s kind of a quagmire.” The current design of the proposed Lenoir renovation costs $300,000 to develop. Student responses about the possible renovation were mixed. Junior Rock DiSanto said the addition of new space would be welcome, especially if it had a view of the lower quad. “I’ve had to walk around,” he said. “I can find a seat, but not always quickly.” But some students were apprehensive about the renovation.

An expanison of Lenoir Hall could provide extra space for diners to sit. The expansion would be part of a long-term renovation plan.

“They could certainly use the extra space, but it’s not something I’d like to see during the school year,” said freshman Sean Sullivan. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Cancer Genome Atlas Grant awarded to UNC research UNC was awarded the Cancer Genome Atlas Grant to participate in a national effort to characterize the genomic changes that occur in cancer. Pr e s i d e n t B a r a c k O b a m a announced Wednesday that 12 centers nationwide, including UNC, will receive federal funding to study the genomic changes in cancer. Researchers said the five-year award will bring between $13 and $20 million to UNC. Researchers at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center will participate in the federal push to uncover information about new ways to categorize tumors, new therapeutic targets and methods that allow clinical trials to focus on patients who are most likely to respond to specific treatments. The effort to study genomic changes is part of a joint effort between the National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute.

Freshman Kaneesha Henderson, 19, has a 17-month-old baby who stays with her mother in Kinston. The baby’s father, Joseph Newborn, went to high school with Henderson and now attends ECU. Henderson said she was motivated to go to college by the criticism of others.

MISS YOU, BABY

Freshman misses her 17-month-old at home BY Heather Farthing STAFF Writer

Freshman Kaneesha Henderson whispered the name of her son slowly, as if savoring it. In that single word, it was clear how much she longs to hold him; how the 108 miles between Chapel Hill and her home in Kinston can feel like a million. In her junior year of high school, Henderson was “shocked, scared and confused” when she learned she was pregnant, but she was ready to accept the challenge. Her boyfriend, Joseph Newborn, a freshman at East Carolina University, viewed fatherhood as an opportunity to mature. “I didn’t know if I was ready,” he admitted; “But I knew it was going to make me grow up faster and turn into a man faster,” Their son Derion was born April 10, 2008. “I was overjoyed. I was like, this is my son;

I am a mother,” Henderson recalled. Though the couple and their families were excited, others questioned their choices and their ability to succeed. “I was in the IB program, and my teachers were acting like I shouldn’t be in it,” Henderson explained. “There are always people trying to degrade you.” Motivated by their skepticism, she declined a two-week grace period her school afforded new mothers, and instead kept up with her work. She went on to be valedictorian, president of National Honor Society and captain of her cheerleading team. “There isn’t anybody in the world more proud of her than I am,” Newborn said. Currently, 17-month-old Derion lives with and is cared for primarily by his grandmother. Henderson is considering bringing him to UNC next semester. “He needs full attention, and I want to be

able to give him that.” She worries that “with college, there is something each day.” Leigh Zaleon, a child care provider for 25 years, said the “hardest part of bringing a child to campus is finding quality childcare which is also affordable.” Zaleon led the Victory Village, a child care center affiliated with UNC. She said there are scholarships available which can help students, but that they are “never enough.” For now, Henderson and Newborn go home every other weekend to visit Derion. The next visit will include a trip to the fair. They communicate via Skype in between. Derion can say “mommy” and “I love you.” In the future, Henderson hopes to be a corporate lawyer; Newborn is studying psychology. The two, who have dated for six years, said marriage isn’t a present priority. For now, the number one goal for Newborn is to be “the best father in the world to my son.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

Ursula Hlavacek never thought she would suffer a crime. But this spring she was the victim of thousands of gallons in water theft. Someone stole the water from her house at 104 Westside Drive sometime between May 15 and June 27, according to a Chapel Hill police report filed last week. The mysterious incident has left Hlavacek with expensive bills and few answers. Hlavacek, who works as a pension portfolio manager in Charlotte, said she purchased the Chapel Hill home for her son, William Hlavacek, to live in while he studied medicine at UNC. When he left the house in May, she put it up for sale. Then in June, she said she received a water bill for 13,000 gallons of water. Another bill arrived for 7,000 gallons the next month. “I was flabbergasted. That’s a lot of water use for an empty house,” she said. “I immediately called my real estate agent to figure out what was happening.” Following her agent’s advice, Hlavacek said she hired a plumber to check the house’s piping structure, but the plumber found no leaks. Hlavacek said she decided to install a lock on the house’s water tank. Since the lock was put on, she said she has not had any further problems. Since there was nothing wrong with the house’s pipes, Hlavacek said she then started to consider other reasons for suspicious water use. “I didn’t think the neighbors were taking it, because my son knew them, and they didn’t seem the type,” she said. Hlavacek said she believed that a water company with large tanks might be the culprit, but has no way to prove it. Hlavacek filed a report with the police in hopes of being reimbursed for the payments that this situation has caused her. She said she ended up paying more than $300 in water bills and more than $200 for the plumber. Chapel Hill police Officer Stephen Slagle, who was in charge of investigating the case, said that the report was quite uncommon. “I’ve heard of stolen pipes before but never stolen water,” he said. As of now, the case is closed because all leads have been exhausted, the report states. “Water theft is rare in our community,” Greg Feller, Orange Water and Sewer Authority spokesman, said in an e-mail. He said a typical residential customer uses 5,000 gallons in a month. Hlavacek said she would love to find out the truth about what happened but realizes how difficult that would be. “I guess it’s just another one of those crazy stories,” she said.

Carrboro mayoral candidate Brian Voyce would have preferred not to run for office. “I had hoped someone I could back would run,” Voyce said. “But you can’t complain unless you do something about it, and some The third of three profiles on things just need Carrboro mayoral to be corrected in this town.” candidates.

Instead, the town moved to him when his neighborhood, the Highlands, was annexed in 2005. The town annexed the property but left the roads to be maintained by the state. “They don’t want these roads; they’re worn out and they’re not going to rebuild them,” Voyce said. “They just wanted to take money from the development and hide the fact that they’re living beyond their means.” Voyce said current Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton has a vision for Carrboro that is too reliant on continuous growth. “His attitude has been one of growth for growth’s sake,” Voyce said.

Voyce also said he would like to see more cooperation between Chapel Hill and Carrboro in attracting businesses to the area. “We need to try to have a more regionalized approach in which we coordinate,” Voyce said. “We most likely need to tear up the bureaucracy and use that money to do real economic work.” On his campaign Web site, Voyce points out what he says are injustices in the town such as the case of Marilyn Kille, the owner of Orange County’s Peppermint Spring Farm. Kille said she met Voyce during the course of a two-year ongoing legal battle with the town of Carrboro regarding the zoning of parts of her property. “I have a positive impression of (Voyce’s) intellect, of his intention to be honorable, and of a genuine sense of integrity,” Kille said. “I feel this man is very impressive and deserves to be the next mayor of this town.” Voyce also said he feels the town is going in the wrong direction with tax policy. “Even in this year, with great economic stress, the town couldn’t

Brown describes his book, which is broken up into short stories, as “a novel in parts.” All of the stories take place in the fictional town of Lystra, North Carolina, as the residents deal with Hurricane Hugo. Brown said the setting of Lystra was a combination of Chapel Hill and Greensboro. A fictional town gave him freedom to create whatever he wanted without the burden of staying true to an actual place, he said. Also, the setting of a small town allows the characters’ interactions to be intimate and intense, Brown said. The novel is set during Hurricane Hugo, which made landfall in

Kyle McKay, marketing manager for Bulls Head, said Brown was an obvious choice as a speaker because of his close ties to UNC and his literary rising star status. “We knew there would be an audience for it,” he said. For McKay, the most appealing part was the short story format of the novel. He said he enjoyed the flexibility that the collection of short stories provides. “It’s crazy to me how he can write about these totally different types of characters,” McKay said. But some said they enjoyed viewing the book as one big story. Lauren Turner, a curatorial assistant at the Ackland, said the narrative was enriched because she could take in all the stories together.

The Daily Tar Heel

Local couple starts political blog By Christoffer O’COnnor staff writer

Chapel Hill Watch, a new blog, was created by husband and wife duo Don Evans and Nancy Oates to offer the town a fresh perspective on everyday news. “Residents of Chapel Hill need to know what’s going on here,” Oates said. The blog focuses on issues from Town Council meetings. Readership has grown slowly, and Oates said she thinks it will stay steady throughout elections. “It is an opportune time because newspapers don’t have the resource to cover all the stories,” she said, referring to cuts at The Chapel Hill News and The Herald Sun. “There are a lot of things that affect the lives of the town people that are mundane and may not be reported in papers.” Both Evans and Oates currently are freelance writers. Evans said before being laid off at The Chapel Hill News, he worked in the newspaper industry for 30 years. Both said they don’t have political backgrounds, but they follow politics. The couple said they hold differ-

ing political viewpoints and hope to bring this quality to their blog. “I’m not sure that OrangePolitics has every side of the issue,” Evans said, referring to the blog run by Ruby Sinreich. “You lose out if you look at just one side.” OrangePolitics celebrated its sixth year of operation on Sunday. “OrangePolitics is a progressive Web site, but the people who come on the Web site don’t necessarily agree with our views,” Sinreich said. “The whole idea is that anyone can come on and ask questions about their community, no matter how qualified they are.” OrangePolitics offers a variety of writers, but Oates and Evans are the sole authors of Chapel Hill Watch. Public commenting is offered on both sites. Sinreich said while she thinks Chapel Hill Watch’s different opinions are good for the community, she’s unsure about its future. “They are definitely more rightleaning than OrangePolitics,” she said. “I’ve seen a lot of things like that start up, but they lose a lot of momentum because it’s a lot of work to keep it going.”

But Oates and Evans said they think they have what it takes to make it on the Web. “What it takes to survive is enthusiasm, and we certainly have plenty of that,” Evans said. Terri Buckner said she and her friends are readers of both blogs. “I don’t think they are comparable to each other,” she said. Buckner said OrangePolitics covers a broader scope of issues than Chapel Hill Watch, which focuses on town issues only. “Recently, Chapel Hill Watch has had more interesting stories, but that could be because they are new,” she said. Buckner said she is interested to see how the new blog fares. “Chapel Hill Watch has only been out for a few weeks so it hasn’t built up quite the following that OrangePolitics has.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

The triangle is routinely seen as a musical hot spot, but This notion applies to more than just the bands that populate our stages. It also applies to our wellfilled air waves.

“

88.1 WKNC

88.7 WXDU More akin to Oxford than Tobacco Road, Duke University is a bubble onto itself in the middle of Durham. Marc Loeffke wants students to venture outside of it. “It’s basically one of the only groups on Duke’s campus that includes students and community members,” said Loeffke, the music director of WXDU, of the station. “It’s a great vehicle here for students to get out into Durham and not hide in stone towers.” In that vein, paying local music is very important to the station. “The truly awesome thing about living around here is that there are so many great local bands,” local music director Ross Grady said in an e-mail. “Nothing gets the ‘local music pity playlist’ slot because that slot doesn’t exist. Everything we playlist makes it because it’s great music.” Because of this attitude, WXDU keeps a solid rotation of local music pumping through its sets and has regular on-air interviews with bands who are having a CD release or big concert. One way the station maintains this local focus is through a promo

Of the three main college stations in the area, WKNC places the most importance on offair activities. With events such as newly instated free local shows on the campus lawn and its annual Double Barrel benefit concert added to efforts such as the Hear Here compilation of local artists, the station makes promoting local music a priority on and off the radio. “There’s a lot of great college stations out there, and the thing that makes us different is that we’re in the Triangle, in North Carolina,” said general manager Mike Alston explaining why the station has such a community focus. “We might as well embrace that.” And embrace that community it does. With its daily “Local Lunch” and weekly “Local Beat” programs, WKNC has made itself a resource for those looking to get to know local music. “It starts with daytime DJs playing The Rosebuds,” Alston said. “And then it expands into focusing on local music and sort of extrapolating that into our daytime rotation to the point where now, if you listen for 20 minutes or half an hour, there’s going to be a local band at some point.” Though WKNC prides itself on its area music, it places equal importance on being open to ideas from its DJs. “We don’t tell people what to play more than two songs an hour,” Alston said. With this openness to DJ discretion, Alston attributes the station’s dedicated local coverage to its many rewards. “The thing that’s cool is it doesn’t matter if you’re a local music director, or a DJ or just a fan, if you’re wearing a KNC shirt and you go to the show, you can pretty much hang out and talk to the band, and they’ll be like, ‘Oh man, WKNC’s awesome!’ It’s a rewarding experience to go as a representative.” JL

box for new local CDs. “I find that the promo box really helps for getting our new DJs more into playing the local stuff,” Loeffke said. “You just look in there, and stuff is happening that day and that weekend. They hear it and go, ‘Whoa, this is cool!’” Using this local focus and getting DJs to spin records at dance parties and other events, WXDU continues to push Duke students into fun local things, and that’s a pursuit even a Tar Heel can get behind. JL

UNC-CHAPEL HILL 89.3 WXYC Alongside WKNC and WXDU, WXYC could be considered the crazy cousin in the local college radio station family. While it doesn’t shy away from Pitchforkapproved indie hits and local music, the station makes a concerted effort to remain fiercely independent, playing albums that span multiple genres and nations. “I think the easiest distinction is that we take over a much broader swath of music,” said music director Montgomery Morris. “We’ll play many more, a much larger variety of genres than the

other stations will.” Morris put this point into a crystal-clear sentiment saying,“I think the easiest distinction is that we take over a much broader swath of music.” WXYC has been able to provide this kind of diversity because it maintains full control of its Federal Communications Commission license, which allows it to operate free from University control. “Of course I’m going to say our station is the best, and I think what makes us the best is our freedom,” Morris said. While the station prides itself on its musical diversity and independence, it has faced criticism in the past for inaccessibility.

“We certainly value experimentalism in music here, which I think may turn off some listeners, but when I first started listening to WXYC I listened to Pitchfork music and rap almost exclusively, and then I got interested in a much wider variety of music, and I felt quite enriched,” Morris said. In the face of a changing music industry, Morris is proud that his station has remained a stable influence in the area. “We get between14 and 17 new DJs every semester, including the summer,” Morris said. “So three times a year we get that many DJs who are all students. “We’re constantly expanding our ranks.” LG

The Daily Tar Heel

New Avetts a ‘major’ bore by Jordan Lawrence Diversions Editor

Concord’s The Avett Brothers have been many things over the course of their nearly 10-year recording career. They’ve been a highly frenetic and hopelessly romantic bluegrass duo, pushing the genre to the edge of its bombastic power. They’ve been a meagerly equipped but nevertheless fantastic rockabilly group, making up for a lack of instruments with a wealth of charm. They’ve been a bare-bones folk pair, deftly combining exquisitely emotional songwriting with striking melody. But one thing Scott and Seth Avett have never been before is boring. And on the band’s Rick Rubinproduced major-label debut, that’s exactly what they are. I and Love and You is the Avetts’ most straightforward full-length to date, 13 songs’ worth of country-leaning chamber pop that all but completely leaves behind the band’s trademark vivacity. In fact, black marks such as the oppressively vapid Ben Folds impression of “It Goes On and On” and the uninventive call-andresponse melancholy of “Ill With

Want” make you wonder whether Scott and Seth were even really trying. But as you dig deeper, the truth reveals itself to be something more troubling. Confronted with the pressure of a big-deal recording contract, the two have whitewashed their sound, arriving at a product that’s void of anything objectionable but that also lacks emotional resonance. On “Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise” the band dumbs down to radio-ready piano balladry. As the Avetts babble meaninglessly about dreams just out of reach, piano, strings and organ swell blandly into a chorus that’s nothing but forced grandeur. This thoroughly played pianoband shtick along with a collection of limp stripped-back throwaways make up the majority of the album. The latter folk-by-numbers strumalongs feature promising lyrical premises never really brought to fruition and poorly developed arrangements that pale in comparison to the aching melodies of the band’s two Gleam EPs. However, there are a few moments when the Avetts’ newly copped techniques actually work.

Showcase showdown

MUSICreview the avett brothers i and love and you pop

The title track uses a beautifully baroque piano part and an insistently striding rhythm to power an incredibly moving journey song. “That woman she’s got eyes that shine, like a pair of stolen polished dimes,” the Avetts sing, presenting a burning image of a woman who drives the speaker to call upon a distant city. And while other goodies such as buoyant love songs “January Wedding” and “Kick Drum Heart” ensure that I and Love and You isn’t without some rewards, it’s the no-holds-barred emotionality of that second song that this record needs a whole lot more of. “It’s not the chase I love; it’s following you,” the band sings before repeating the title until it becomes a jubilant scream. It’s an unrestrained expression of incredible feeling that communicates easily. For most of the group’s new outing it seems as though this passion is all used up. In the title track the

Pandorum

“3:10 to Yuma.” Unfortunately, the inadequate script completely suppresses Foster’s normal energy. Quaid, at home in campy films, lends some unintentional levity to the movie with his portrayal of the unhinged, possibly delusional Payton. And he sure does wield a pipe with authority. Unfortunately, neither can save “Pandorum.” It switches from the standard “crafty humans vs. predatory creatures” plot to convoluted psychological pseudo-horror so much that it’s hard to decide whether it’s more influenced by Stanley Kubrick or Michael Bay. It isn’t scary or interesting, and worst of all, the payoff at the end is a complete letdown. “Pandorum” was never going to match a classic like the first two “Aliens” movies, but it can’t even compete with “Alien vs. Predator.” It’s a movie as devoid of inspiration and amusement as the dead space through which the ship floats.

movieshorts Surrogates Bruce Willis is human. In fact, his blood, his scars, his sweat and his tears stir the undercurrents of this rare sci-fi exploration of what it means to be human, but in “Surrogates,” you barely notice. In a future where technology questions humanity with a clichéd, frenetic story, such questions are lost to stereotypical gimmicks. In a foreboding series of documentary-style opening credits, “Surrogates” acquaints the audience with a reality in which people live their lives through indestructible robots. They can experience all that their cosmetically enhanced cybernetic proxies encounter, free from hazards as they sit in “Matrix”-esque control chairs. It’s a triumph of shallow artificiality. And so, when a hokey weapon is created that penetrates the fail-safes of surrogates and kills their human operators, FBI Agent Tom Greer (Willis) investigates his first murder

case in years. As Greer chases leads through his doppelganger (Willis a la cheesy toupee), he, like the audience, becomes disgruntled with the inherent misrepresentation of surrogacy, conversing, for instance, with a 13-year-old who turns out to be an 80-year-old. Throughout the film, Greer yearns for genuine connection, such as his wish to streak his fingers through his wife’s hair. However, the audience is distracted by doomsday clocks and plot twists that only inspire stagnancy. As Greer abandons his surrogate in a symbolic embrace of his humanity, the ambiguous identities of the characters drive the plot into oblivion. The climax appears out of nowhere, a meaningless attempt to reconcile a dizzying plot. It doesn’t have time to breathe. This future world of robotic puppets is rich with potential, but the acting is the only element of “Surrogates” which has real life.

Fame

There is a general consensus that remakes are trouble. “Fame,” even though it masquerades as a reinvention, is no exception. Thousands of teenagers are united by the same dream: attending the New York High School of Performing Arts. Ten thousand auditions, 200 places — a selective school, one might think. The American Idol-esque opening scene proves otherwise; even the ballet dancer who’s told he’ll be back in his native Iowa in no time gets a place. Other flaws abound. First, there are the cringe-worthy attempts to take “Fame” out of its original context. One of the aspiring starlets says a casting director spotted her on YouTube, and dance students also lamely use the Web site to show off their moves. Leading girl Kay Panabaker is the next disappointment. If she was cast to play an annoyingly naïve girl -Rocco Giamatteo who begs to be taken advantage of,

she would deserve an Oscar. But it’s more likely that director Kevin Tancharoen wanted the main character to evoke sympathy instead of revulsion. But the film does have some real talent. Naturi Naughton excels as singer Denise, and Kherington Payne shows of some unbelievable moves to the music of Santogold, Sam Sparro and others. This is highlighted by Tancharoen’s music video experience. While the narrative sequences are rather dull, the effects used in the performances (slow motion, lighting, split screens) are perfect for highlighting the skill needed to pull complicated dance routines. It’s unfortunate that “Fame” needed actors and a narrative, because the dancers and singers are great. But all the dancing and singing can’t skew the fact that none of these players can act, a fact which kind of ruins the point of making the movie in the first place.

Like “Alien,” Christian Alvart’s “Pandorum” tries to play off of the fear of the unknown, pitting a small band of survivors adrift in space against hostile alien creatures. But where “Alien” taught us that in space, no one can hear you scream, “Pandorum” teaches us that no one can see you roll your eyes in disbelief either. After setting off from a dying Earth, Corporal Bower (Ben Foster) and Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) awaken from hypersleep to find their ship in shambles and the crew missing. As the two shake off amnesia, Bower searches for any other survivors while Payton stays behind in the control room to guide him via earpiece. The two soon discover that they aren’t alone! (Cue ominous music). Foster tries desperately to save the unoriginal premise, summoning every bit of talent that made -Suzanne Enzerink him so mesmerizing in 2007’s

musicshorts Rural Alberta Advantage hometowns

indie pop

Like Arcade Fire, Canada’s latest export The Rural Alberta Advantage is familiar with the art of epic pop songs. Utilizing the same multiinstrumental aesthetic of their countrymen, the group adds a hefty dose of drums and gravelly vocals, crafting melodic pop with the grit and intensity of punk rock. One of the main things that separates Hometowns from other pop records is vocalist Paul Banwatt’s voice. Unlike the airy vocals found in so much modern music, Banwatt brings ferocity to the album without sacrificing contemplation and depth. It isn’t flawless, but that’s part of the appeal — the occasional, barely detectable falters in pitch or tone imbue songs with a sense of urgency and sincerity. And while vocals play a large role in distinguishing the album from others, the instrumentation is most original. From the synth-infused intro in “The Ballad of RAA” to the violins that permeate the record, the arrangements never grow stale. Each song juxtaposes an unexpected mix of furious drums and guitar with strings and sing-song xylophones, melding two distinct genres into one appealing package. The group might differ from other bands that hail from America’s colder neighbor, but its innovative mix of gritty rock and sweet pop makes The Rural Alberta Advantage the most exciting northern export since hockey and maple syrup. -Linnie Greene

On Let’s Build a Roof, Olympia, Wash.’s LAKE creates an album that warms the heart like a burst of springtime on a cold day.

divestaff Jordan Lawrence, Editor 843-4529 | dive@unc.edu Linnie Greene, Assistant Editor

LAKE, a six-member ensemble that collaborates with a number of other artists, has created an album full of sounds that address themes of memory and family. The record reeks of current indie-pop convention, with piano-infused songs and warm vocals. Ashley Eriksson and Eli Moore share singing duties. Each bring delicacy to the tracks, which vary drastically. And while many songs on the album achieve a balance of cheerfulness and depth, songs like “Don’t Give Up” are saccharine and disingenuous. With Eriksson singing “I don’t wanna give up, don’t give up,” repeatedly, the heartwarming message becomes a source of encouragement that’s cheesy at best. It is only expected that similarities to Sufjan Stevens, a proclaimed fan and notable influence, appear on “Collapsing Homes,” where the band utilizes a background choir. It’s with this incorporation of unconventional devices, such as trumpet, cornet and organ, that the album becomes a whimsical merry-go-round of sound. The multilayered music and balanced vocals create a feel good collection of songs that remains comfortably familiar without sacrificing originality. It may be too sweet for some, but sometimes everyone needs a little extra warmth in their day, and LAKE’s happy pop sunshine has the goods to do the trick. -Elizabeth Byrum

Karl Blau Zebra

THE STRENGTH TO HEAL and

learn lessons in courage.

folk/electronic

There’s a fine line between knowing what works for you as a musician and beating your audience over the head with it. Karl Blau toes this line on Zebra. The songs are carefully crafted, layering bright, clear piano over an abundance of electronic effects as Blau’s mellow voice floats a relaxing lullaby over the top. The formula works, but not as well as Blau seems to think it does. He doesn’t give the listener enough variety to stay interested, and the result is an album that blends together into one giant, repetitious song. Things pick up about halfway through with “Free the Bird,” where Blau forgoes the piano and sporadic blips and bleeps for a more focused sound with strong acoustic strumming and drums as he finally starts singing with a purpose. Blau keeps it moving with a couple of other tunes. “Dark Sedan,” a slice of up-tempo pop that approaches disco with a peppering of horns and synthesizers. It’s an interesting contrast as he sings about “digging up the past to reveal some old crow bones.” And “Tha’ Ole Moon Smi” pairs jazz-infused drums and piano with soaring falsetto harmony. But it’s not enough to save the album from tumbling back into a murky mess of looping electronica and piano. Blau has the ability to produce a solid song, but until he adds some variation to his themes, he’ ll stay more suited to background music than a compelling front-and-center listen.

DAN DEACON: IGNORING THE PRESS

Baltimore’s Dan Deacon is hard to pin down. Using break-neck beats and choruses of cartoonish voices, he creates a colorful funhouse of sound. Tonight Deacon plays Cat’s Cradle. In advance of the show, Diversions Editor Jordan Lawrence caught up with him to talk about live shows and the emotions of music journalism.

DD: No. No offense to you, but I think that’s more the role of journalism. I think that’s the role the media plays: trying to find a way to write about them. Animal Collective is certainly a darling for the media. I don’t mind being compared to anyone or anything. But I do think the classification is more done from the media’s perspective to grasp to something. A lot of reviews don’t really talk about the music. They talk more about fashion or trend. They don’t really break down the musical process or timber or do musical analysis. It’s more just the emotion.

“O Brother, Where Art Thou”: Speaking of good stripped-back music, the soundtrack to this 2000 Coen brothers classic sports a fantastic bluegrass lineup. And with a charismatically dim-witted performance from George Clooney and a fantastic story arch that makes a farce of “The Odyssey,” it’s also one of Ethan and Joel’s best.

NOTICE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL: 2009-2010 OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED STUDENT CO-CURRICULAR ORGANIZATIONS The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community and to ensuring that educational and employment decisions are based on individuals’ abilities and qualifications. Consistent with this principle and mindful of our responsibility as a public institution of higher education serving all the people, it is the University’s policy not to discriminate in offering access to its educational programs and activities on the basis of race, color, age, national origin, religion, creed, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. To be eligible for official recognition from the University – and the privileges that accompany official recognition – a student cocurricular organization must abide by the following: Membership and participation in the organization must be open to all students without regard to race, color, age, national origin, religious status or historic religious affiliation, creed, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Membership and participation in the organization must also be open without regard to gender, unless exempt under Title IX. Student organizations that select their members on the basis of commitment to a set of beliefs (e.g., religious or political beliefs) may limit membership and participation in the organization to students who, upon individual inquiry, affirm that they support the organization’s goals and agree with its beliefs, so long as no student is excluded from membership or participation on the basis of his or her race, color, age, national origin, religious status or historic religious affiliation, creed, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or, unless exempt under Title IX, gender. As of 2:00 p.m., September 29, 2009, the organizations listed below have been officially recognized by the University through the coming year ending September 30, 2010.

‘Bright Star’ brings the poetry and romance of Keats to life By Rachel Arnett Staff WRiter

Breaking away from the stereotypes of 19th century romances Jane Austen created, “Bright Star” writer/director Jane Campion offers an enthralling mix of Keatsian romanticism with standard biopic realism. “Bright Star” tells the story of John Keats’ (Ben Whishaw) unlikely romance with Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), his neighbor, whom he sees as a simple woman enthralled with fashion and wit. Brawne, lacking understanding or interest in poetry, seems the polar opposite of Keats. But the pair find an understanding through the illness and death of Keats’ brother. Although possibly misconstrued for a dragging, intricate tale of the fortunate and unfor-

tunate moments in their blinding romance, Campion instead creates a rich piece driven by rich character presence. Flawless excluding the last 25 minutes, which truly stretch the audience’s patience, the move demands attention with intense romance, shown in the pair’s letters and actions. Fanny houses a butterfly farm in her room as a symbol of Keats’ words, a labor which radiates the warmth of their connection. But in a form only becoming of characters so enamored, the painful sweeping away of the dead butterflies serves as a timely reminder that their love is not anchored in a world free of trial. Instead of appeasing audiences with cheap lust, the film remains true to their story, keeping their love both innocent and beauti-

Moviereview Bright star

ful with small kisses and clasped hands. Keats’ poem “Bright Star,” which is read to Fanny, is more beautiful and moving than any cheesy line as Cornish and Whishaw’s captivating resonance brings the romance to life. Campion’s skillful tale of Keats’ last three years of life are easily and sincerely pieced together. As Keats said, “Poetry should come as easily as leaves to a tree.” Campion sticks to that motto, as the adaptation of the love story comes naturally and completely.

musicshorts Ghostface Killah Ghostdini The Wizard of Poetry in EMerald City hip-hop

Ghostface Killah should no longer go by the alias Iron Man. No. The Staten Island wordsmith should now look to another metal. Something along the line of, “Rap’s Danielle Steel.” With his first entirely R&B album, he still uses grimy storytelling, but the tales are between the sheets rather than in the streets. The product is still undeniably Ghost. “Guest House,” featuring Fabolous, chronicles an unfortunate affair as well as any song on Fishscale does, with the long-flow delivery of Ghost reading like a heartbroken journal entry filled with smut and guns. And while Vaughn Anthony and Estelle do cameo on a truly great R&B jam, “Paragraphs of Love,” for one of the album’s pinnacles, several of the cuts are reduced to porn on wax. Songs such as “Stapleton Sex” are pretty raunchy, harboring lines like, “You can put my d—k in your mouth and play with my nuts/But before I bust babe I think I’ll come

in your butt/I got my gun on the floor and I’m ready to f—k.” Ghostdini isn’t a truly failed R&B album, it’s just that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Featuring filthy gutter raps with a thin layer of R&B veneer, Ghostface can’t make a whole album out of what should be two tracks. He overextends his creative bounds, leaving little to take from the experience. But while this lack of grounding might keep him from his usual heights, his experimentation still makes for an entertaining, if mostly forgettable, throwaway. -Benn Wineka

Times New Viking Born Again rEvisited garage pop

Babies cry to get attention, and on its fourth full-length, Times New Viking plays the same game. Born Again Revisited is like an unattended stepchild — loud, boisterous and sophomoric. Times New Viking runs all of its equipment—which isn’t much for this poppy three piece band out of Ohio — through crappy amplifiers,

producing unequivocally simplistic music juxtaposed with colorful explosions of distorted noise. This plangent, muddy sound of cheap guitars and off-key vocals is kind of interesting, but it’s also utterly inaccessible. This inaccessibility is (ironically) countered by the formulaic and predictable approach the band takes. But past the gimmicky distortion and noise, Times New Viking is pretty much just cliché pop band. The album lacks direction and variation, but apparently saying that is “missing the point.” But what’s the point in 30 minutes of identically indecipherable songs? Some of Born Again Revisited could work as singles. Tunes like “Martin Luther King Day” and “2/11 Don’t Forget” are catchy enough, but over time the album succumbs to noisy backwash and becomes a victim of its own fad. As the novelty wears thin, the distortion becomes downright oppressive, especially during the off-key racket of “(No) Sympathy.” Apparently the sympathy Times New Viking lacks is for your eardrums. Because at the end of the day, there’s only so much punishment they can take. -Joseph Chapman

Young Democrats put ideas into print Carolina Marketplace By Jeannine O’Brian Staff writer

The first edition of Campus BluePrint, the Young Democrats’ new monthly publication, will hit UNC and Duke newsstands Friday. UNC’s Young Democrats and the Duke Democrats have collaborated to create the publication, which members say will fill a void when it comes to liberal publications on campus. While Campus BluePrint will focus on “progressive” points of view, each issue will include a conservative voice, said David Gilmore, who’s serving as the publication’s editor-in-chief at UNC. “It definitely has a liberal tilt and we want it that way because we want to be the voice of Democrats at UNC and Duke,” he said. Bryan Weynand, editor of the conservative-leaning Carolina Review, agreed that the Democratic publication will add a missing voice to the political discussion. “ They’re absolutely right,” Weynand said. “It has been something that’s been missing from

campus dialogue for a while.” Charlie Sellew, co-president of the Young Democrats, said the group first considered starting its own publication last fall when the organization grew because of the presidential election. “After the election, people were really enthusiastic and wanted to stay involved and find new ways to do that,” Sellew said. He added that once he learned that the Duke Democrats were interested in starting a publication, the two organizations decided to work together. Each group will contribute writers, editors and money to the publication. The editors from both groups will meet once a month to plan each issue. “We choose which writers write which stories,” Gilmore said. “We try to find a balance between the two campuses.” Young Democrats and Duke Democrats will split production costs evenly. Gilmore said the first issue cost $1,700 to publish. Young Democrats will pay for its

highlights arts groups By Stephanie Bullins Staff writer

The casual, subdued atmosphere of Wednesday’s Carolina Marketplace was a stark contrast to the more hectic kickoff event known as Fall Fest. The event, held in the Pit, was designed to give student organizations related to arts and culture another opportunity to reach out to students. Carolina Marketplace — part of Student Body President Jasmin Jones’ platform — was sponsored by the student life committee of student government. “Jasmin really wants a way for students to get involved and highlight new student organizations on campus,” said Kelsey Farson, co-chairwoman of the student life committee. “Fall Fest is a very overwhelming time, especially for first-year students.” Jones worked with Farson and Nina Brashears, the committee’s other co-chairwoman, to organize the event and was a proponent of the idea from the start. This was the first year the event has taken place, and its organizers said they hoped it would provide freshmen with an opportunity to learn about organizations at a deeper level. “Unlike Fall Fest, you can come based on your interests,” said Brashears. Wednesday’s Marketplace was the first installment in a series of three events. It highlighted groups relating to arts and culture. An Oct. 7 event will be a venue for advocacy and service organizations, and Oct. 14 will be a showcase for religious, athletic and miscellaneous organizations. “It’s a really great opportunity to see everything all in one place,” Farson said. Organizations that are participating in Carolina Marketplace include Pauper Players, Carolina Performing Arts, North Carolina Hillel and more. Senior Aaron Salley, an administrator for the student-run production company Pauper Players, said he thought Carolina Marketplace would be a good place to find new members. “We figured we’d get a little more focused crowd,” he said. “They

Shrunken Head shop celebrates its 40 years BY Florence Bryan STAFF Writer

Genny Wrenn, 55, loves game days in Chapel Hill because her father’s local souvenir shop, The Shrunken Head Boutique, becomes filled with UNC fans. “It’s wall-to-wall people trying to get in here,” Wrenn said. “I call it the Shrunken Head shuffle.” The store has seen many of those crowded game days. This fall season marks the 40th anniversary of the store’s opening. Shelton Henderson, the 75-yearold owner of The Shrunken Head Boutique, works with his family and other employees to maintain the oldest UNC merchandise store on Franklin Street. “Once a family member is not able to own it or run it, we definitely would close, ‘cause we’re known for our family being here,” Wrenn said. Henderson opened his business in the fall of 1969 in Jacksonville, N.C. The first store was a head shop, which sold merchandise such as incense and rolling papers. The store was originally named after Henderson’s interactions with Marines who frequented the store in its early years. “One of our ex-Marines said, ‘Well, Shelton, you’re always trying to shrink these Marines’ heads. Why don’t you call it the Shrunken Head?’” Wrenn said. But nearby stores took over the head shop market. “The grocery stores in the area decided they wanted to do the incense and the rolling papers,” Wrenn said. “And my dad said, ‘Thank goodness.’ So we got out of that.” Henderson originally expanded the store to Greenville with the hopes of establishing stores in 25

Shelton Henderson, owner of the Shrunken Head, displays a new arrival. Henderson opened the store “40 wonderful years ago,” as he puts it. college towns. But due to a shortage of employees, he, being a UNC fan, settled on Chapel Hill as the sole location for the store. The family moved to town in 1972. The Shrunken Head began to sell only UNC merchandise in 1983 after the UNC men’s basketball team won the national championship the previous year. “That was the most wonderful thing that could ever happen,” Wrenn said. “Everybody was on the street — the whole family was — ‘til four in the morning. They were hollering and painting the street in light blue.” The Henderson family met after the victory and decided to become a UNC souvenir shop. They also added ‘boutique’ to the store’s name. The next generation of the Henderson family has already begun to work in the store. Wrenn’s

11-year-old niece has started to run the register. “We train ‘em young,” she said. Although the store is primarily family-run, the Hendersons have employees from outside the family. James McCleary, 30, applied to work at the Shrunken Head seven years ago because he liked the personal atmosphere of the store. “It’s more like people are visiting rather than people are shopping at a store,” he said. Wrenn said after decades with the store, she still enjoys seeing familiar faces. “I have a real good memory,” she said. “I’ll recognize somebody that came to basketball camp when they were 12, and now they have a 12-year-old coming to basketball camp. Everybody’s amazed at that.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

National and World News Georgia, Russia both caused war

U.S., European ofﬁcials skeptical of chances of success in talks with Iran

MOSCOW (MCT) — Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili had no justification under international law when he ordered a military incursion into South Ossetia last year, according to a European Union-commissioned report released Wednesday. Russia, however, used false claims that the Georgian military killed 2,000 civilians in its initial assault to set up a later invasion that allowed South Ossetian militias to torture and execute Georgian prisoners during an ethnic cleansing campaign. Those conclusions may shift the debate about who started the war in August 2008. The document makes it clear that both ran afoul of international law. Russian officials pointed to the finding that the war started with Georgia’s offensive. The report gives an “unequivocal answer” to the question of who began the fighting, said Russia’s ambassador to the EU, Vladimir Chizhov. Georgia’s representatives highlighted the report’s take on Russia’s push deep into Georgia and support for a second rebel area, Abkhazia, to capture more Georgian land.

GENEVA (MCT) — Iran and six other nations will hold their first talks in 14 months Thursday in Geneva, but despite the participation of a senior U.S. diplomat, chances for a quick breakthrough appear bleak, especially after last week’s revelation of a previously covert Iranian nuclear facility. In its first face-to-face negotiations with Iranian officials, the Obama administration will press Tehran to allow unfettered access to the facility near the holy city of Qom and to take other steps

to alleviate concerns over its nuclear work. However, U.S. and European diplomats are skeptical that the talks will lead anywhere. The Geneva talks have been given new urgency by Iran’s disclosure of the Qom site and by European intelligence agencies’ conclusion that Iran has restarted work on designing a nuclear warhead. The United States, Britain and France say they’ll push for severe new sanctions against Iran if it doesn’t back down.

Democratic senators unveil climate bill that will promote clean energy WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — A group of Democratic senators unveiled an energy and climate bill Wednesday that they say will increase jobs and cut the billions spent on foreign oil. The bill’s framework is similar to one that passed the House of Representatives in June. It would require reductions of heat-trapping gases, set up protections from higher energy prices for consumers and energy-intensive industries, and provide investment and

incentives for clean energy. It also would increase support for the continued use of coal — but with the emissions greatly reduced — and for nuclear energy and natural gas. Supporters face an uphill fight getting enough votes to clear the Senate’s 60-vote requirement. Their opening move stressed that the new Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act puts American domestic interests first.

Tar Heels out for turnovers Minus three margin is ninth in ACC By Powell Latimer

times this season — six interceptions and four fumbles lost. UNC has forced seven turnovers thus far. The defense that was tabbed in the preseason as one of the best in the nation has only four picks thus far, and none in the last two games. “I’m real surprised,” cornerback Charles Brown said when asked about the recent dearth of interceptions. “I was waiting on one to come last game.” Brown mentioned that the UNC coaches have spent the week harping on snagging some passes from opponents. “You can take the ball away from somebody and score or just

It’s the elephant in the room for North Carolina — turnovers. The Tar Heels have a defense that, even after their beating by Georgia Tech, ranks near the top of the ACC. They have an offense featuring a veteran quarterback, a two-headed monster at running back and a host of youthful wide receivers. But while UNC stands in the top half of the ACC in almost every category, there is one area where the Tar Heels are lagging seriously behind. UNC stands ninth in the ACC in turnover margin at minus three. UNC has turned the ball over 10

give it back to the offense and take away possessions from the other team,” Brown said. “And just the change of field position — that’s real important.” And while the turnovers haven’t been flowing recently, UNC’s seven takeaways is tied for fourth in the ACC. The minus three number and subpar turnover margin stem from the Tar Heels’ 10 giveaways. UNC has thrown six interceptions this season. That’s more than any other team in the ACC. Only Maryland has more total turnovers than the Tar Heels in 2009. Nowhere was the turnover battle more evident than in North Carolina’s 24-7 loss to Georgia Tech. In that game, the Tar Heels gave the ball up three times and forced zero turnovers. “You can’t turn the ball over

three times and not get any turnovers and expect to probably have much of a chance against good teams,” coach Butch Davis said. Last season, UNC had the Division-I leader in interceptions roaming the backfield in safety Trimane Goddard. This season, Da’Norris Searcy stepped into that spot but has yet to intercept a pass. Fellow safety Deunta Williams has picked off two passes, but both of those were during North Carolina’s season-opening rout of The Citadel. But for certain, Brown, Williams and the rest of the UNC defense will be looking for some passes to pick off Saturday against Virginia. dth file/Andrew Dye

abbey court from page 1

Companies of North Carolina, which owns Abbey Court, in May. She replaced management that faced protests last year from residents who said their cars were wrongly towed and their apartments were not maintained. “This is the first manager in 25 years that has been receptive. The community has been screaming for it,” Carrboro Police Chief Carolyn Hutchison said at the meeting.

New voices for Abbey Court Dena, who grew up with Spanish as her first language, supports and connects to a community of largely non-English speaking residents. She has lived in the area for more than 10 years and was working at a boutique when she came across the job offering at Abbey Court. Already aware of its controversial history, Dena said she felt compelled to take on the challenge. “I knew that there was a lot of stuff out here that needed to be changed and managed differently,” Dena said. “I was ready for it.” Jennifer Greene, senior vice president of human resources and marketing at The Tar Heel Companies, said the group always strived to be community-friendly. “I think it’s just now coming out,” she said, referring to recent controversies as a “black cloud” hanging over the company. She would not comment on the turnover in management. One of Dena’s first actions as manager was to fire a private security agency that checked on residents, Delta Company Police, and hire offduty Carrboro police officers. Dena said residents had complained of discrimination by the security company. “I had lots of complaints from residents at the time that said they were being biased against them.” Alfonoso Hernadez, a 19-yearold Abbey Court resident who managed a Web site protesting the problems last year, said prior management had used the security company to tow cars just for having dents and scratches. “The only people that seem to be affected by this are Latinos,” Hernandez told The Daily Tar Heel last year. Maj. Dan Norman of the Delta Company Police denied any discrimination or towing calls by security officers. Norman said his company improved the situation. “When we came in a year and a half ago, it was really a mess. We were going from 10 to 15 calls of service a night to one or two every other night,” Norman said.

Hernandez took his Web site down in the spirit of working with the new management. “This management now is caring and wants to work with everyone else,” Hernandez said. “I see them fixing everything. This is what everyone wants — unity.” She said she will use her background to mend the company’s relationship with residents. She hopes to respond to complaints in Spanish and bring English classes and health resources on site for residents. “I do understand the struggle and how they want to learn, and the stuff that they’re doing for the kids and everything,” Dena said. “They get married while they’re here, they have babies while they’re here. That’s their life — it’s not just an apartment, it’s where everyone has their home.”

nal candidates to draw from.” In the next few weeks, Earp will work with R. William Funk & Associates consulting firm to weed out the weakest candidates. “We have people who have never worked with a university administration,” Earp said. “This is an important phase because it wouldn’t necessarily be a good use of the entire committee’s time to look through every applicant.” Earp told the search committee that after removing 10 to 20 “inappropriate” candidates from the current pool, about 40 would remain. Although the committee has begun its work, UNC is still accepting applications, he said.

UNC leaders look for different qualities Different administrators weigh in at meetings: “As a senior administrator, they need to be willing to work with and engage with students.” – Peggy Jablonski, vice chancellor for student affairs “The new provost needs to be someone ethical and careful in what they say and what they e-mail.” – Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor of research and development

“I hope the candidates are highly committed to transparency in their current jobs. Find out how they operate in terms of that already, don’t assume that because Holden holds a value, the new provost will.” – Mike Smith, School of Government dean “We need someone who understands science at every level.”– Bill Roper, School of Medicine dean

“The provost is the academic face tant, but how difficult this job is of the University and can’t be seen — that’s what really stands out,” as someone who ‘doesn’t get it.’” Earp said. Overall, most administrators and committee members stressed Staff writer Tim Longest how difficult the job of provost can contributed reporting. be.

next provost should be. For the most part, deans and vice chancellors who met with the committee said they want to see a provost with a strong personality who can communicate well and make tough decisions. Several administrators also said successful candidates would need experience at a large, preferably public, university. “People who are comfortable in a private university are just different from those who are comfortable in a public university,” Kristen Swanson, dean of the School of Nursing, said to the committee. School of Government Dean Mike Smith told the committee that any new provost would need to at least understand the interactions between the school and the N.C. General Assembly in Raleigh. “It is important that the provost appreciates the role of a state university for their state,” he said.

An improved relationship Dena said residents have welcomed town police and feel safer. And police said the new partnership is a way to improve relationships in an area where they were already responding to calls. Hutchison said noise complaints, drinking in the parking lot and harassment and assault as the main issues, most of which were committed by non-residents, she said. “As chief, I see this as a very good opportunity for the department to focus some attention on all of the residents of Abbey Court,” Hutchison said of the new partnership. “We simply must acknowledge that many of them are Latino. It provides us a very good opportunity to reach that particular population.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Board misread bill about ASG delegate selection

n June 2006, I signed my life away to Sallie Mae, one of the nation’s largest providers of private student loans. It was so easy. New York University informed me of how much money I needed, Sallie Mae offered me a loan for that amount and I signed on the dotted line. No one made me read the fine print, no one taught me about interest rates or defaulting and no one encouraged me to consider the future consequences of these loans. I took on the financial burden of paying for college alone and moved to one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. to attend one of the most expensive universities. I started with a $30,000 loan, but transferred to UNC after my first year at NYU. And now, after two years at UNC, I have had the sudden realization that I have accumulated $45,000 in student loans and that in just one year I face the reality of graduation. UNC ranks first among the best values at the top 100 U.S. public universities, according to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine, but for all of us out-ofstaters, I feel your pain. Those of us who didn’t quite qualify for federal aid and those who need extra money for one reason or another — our options are limited. Drop out of school, get a third or fourth job, sell our vital organs on the black market — these choices are not exactly feasible. Loans are often the most attractive and accessible option, but we are not always fully informed before we borrow. We are often told that student loans are “good debt,” meaning the loans will yield a higher future return than their current cost. This is not necessarily a false accusation, as some studies have shown that higher education is correlated to a higher salary. However, a higher salary does not always mean that your loans qualify as good debt. Student loans can cause a trap, in which you must take your first job option because you need a stable salary to pay your bills. This job is supposed to be only temporary, but as the weeks pass and the bills keep coming in, you stay in this job, score that promotion and find that you just cannot give up the paycheck. Your job’s purpose is to make money, but that money mostly goes toward bills, which largely go toward paying off student loans. Of course, students should not take this as a call to action against all loans. In most cases, loans are a great option for financing a college education. Problems do not stem from the loan themselves, but rather the recipient’s lack of control over his or her personal finances. Making a personal financial statement is a huge step in achieving financial independence and avoiding the debt trap. It forces you to regularly read and analyze your debt to income ratio and cash flow. It doesn’t matter whether you are $1,000 in debt or $150,000 in debt — what matters is that you have taken initiative to learn the terms of your financial situation. Unfortunately, a personal finance course is not required throughout our education, but the sooner you can become an informed skeptic of personal finance, the sooner you will achieve financial freedom.

Jones needs to step up Student Body President Jasmin Jones has been largely silent on major campus issues this semester

he Greek system’s relationship with UNC has taken some big hits recently, and we have heard from administrators that they are working to mend the splinters between Greeks and the University. However, Student Body President Jasmin Jones, whose campaign promoted the cultivation of campus unity, has yet to weigh in on the issue. Monica Matta, Jones’ chief of staff, stated that the Jones administration has not issued a statement because the University has taken a firm stance and they do not want Greeks to feel isolated from the rest of the student body. Jones and executive branch officers are correct in asserting that in the current state of affairs, Greeks need not feel isolated. But Jones needs to redefine

her role as student body president. Remaining in the background in order to not ostracize student groups is not indicative of good leadership. Comments made by administrators indicate that the University will no longer be lenient with the Greek system and the campus at large concerning alcohol and drug abuse. Jones has been working with Greeks to plan this year’s Homecoming parade. Matta said this will help promote their image as a service community. “We are trying to help showcase the great things the Greek system does,” she said. Helping Greeks improve their image is a good move, but it should be done in conjunction with, not instead of, taking a stance on the issues concerning drugs and alcohol on campus.

The student body president is supposed to serve as a liaison between students and administrators. But Jones has failed to assume this role by remaining silent while administrators are actively working to improve communication and oversight policies with the Greek system. Jones’ appeal as a candidate for student body president was her passion for “linking Carolina together,” her campaign slogan. She started her term on a good note, hosting a candid discussion about free speech that addressed the controversial protests that occurred last April. Her administration’s voice would be beneficial in the ongoing conversation between Greeks and administrators. She has shown strength as a mediator between groups before, and she should now exercise it in this and future situations.

Celebrate our freedoms

First Amendment Day serves as a reminder of the freedoms afforded by the Constitution

walk through campus today will reveal many students celebrating some of their most important freedoms. The UNC Center for Media Law and Policy will be observing First Amendment Day, honoring one of the amendments most central to a functioning democracy. The First Amendment guarantees rights that define America. Without freedom of religion, people could be subjected to a nationwide religion without the ability to choose their own religion or lack thereof. Without freedom of assembly, groups would be hin-

dered in their ability to gather. Protests would be non-existent, as would unions and clubs. And without the freedom to peaceably assemble, how could citizens “petition the government for a redress of grievances,” as the amendment states? The right of citizens to speak their mind is one of the most powerful weapons of a concerned citizen. Without this amendment, any civil rights movement would be illegal by definition. Even if the government or another citizen does not agree with your opinion, you still have the right to express it, whether through a protest, a flag burning, a pamphlet, a

speech or simply a controversial remark. As author and linguist Noam Chomsky said, “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.” And as a paper, The Daily Tar Heel would not have the editorial freedom it enjoys. Without this amendment and our independence from the University, the paper could be subject to censorship, and any controversial subject might be simply edited out. That is no way for a populace to be kept informed. So go participate in the festivities today, and never take these rights for granted.

QuickHits Late-night Union

ECU ‘protest’

Homeless doll

Word is that campus officials are bringing a 24-hour fast food restaurant to the bottom of the Union. This is good progress. But fast food? So much for doing away with the freshman 15.

Student leaders organized a protest but when no one showed, they denied it. H e y, E C U : A t least when we protest, we show up and do damage to our buildings and our national reputation.

The American Girl doll series has a new model: “Homeless” Gwen. At $95, she’s not cheap. She’s probably homeless because she defaulted on her sub-prime loan and foreclosed on her accessory house.

Tufts sexiling

Empire State

Windy City Olympics

Tufts has introduced a policy banning any sex act when a roommate is present. This policy is misguided. College is about inclusion and sharing experiences. Why not oblige the roommate to join in?

The Empire State building turned red recently for the 60th anniversary of the founding of Communist China. Really, NYC? We know the Chinese government owns half of you. But come on.

First Lady Michelle Obama is in Copenhagen to build support for Chicago’s 2016 Summer Olympics bid. We’re glad that former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich won’t be there to take bribes for medals.

TO THE EDITOR: Tuesday’s editorial “Don’t waste their time,” misread the Association of Student Governments delegation bill passed by Congress two weeks ago. The bill was to reform the outdated and unbalanced way we appoint delegates to ASG. However, the bill also included the ability for either Student Body President Jasmin Jones or Student Congress Speaker Joe LevinManning to appoint full alternates to their positions. These alternates would have the same power either Jones or Levin-Manning would have if they went to ASG. By signing this bill, Jones gains the power to appoint an alternate to ASG. Currently, she has no such power according to the Student Code. It is the Editorial Board’s prerogative to call for withdrawal from ASG, but please, get your facts right.

Article misrepresented Pi Kappa Phi’s new colony TO THE EDITOR: Brian Austin’s article, “Greeks, UNC at new crossroads,” (Sept. 24), misrepresented the situation and men of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. As a re-founding father of Pi Kappa Phi, I question The Daily Tar Heel’s reckless disregard for the truth of the situation while continually marginalizing the Greek community. Although the fraternity’s charter was taken in 2005, it was removed by the national organization and had little to do with the University. As a result, Pi Kappa Phi did not operate for four years. Then, last spring, because of the chapter’s historical significance, the national organization decided to establish a colony. It is vital to understand that this group is not the group of the past, and in an optimistic light, things can change. These men have worked tirelessly to rebuild a once proud heritage by following all procedures necessary for re-chartering, and all University rules by the letter. This group of men is active on campus with countless organizations and volunteer relationships. They are planning the “Heels 4 Hope” 5k on Halloween, and even had a brother cycle from San Francisco to Washington D.C. to help people with disabilities by raising awareness and funds for the philanthropy owned and operated by the fraternity, Push America. Divergent to implication, this fall Pi Kappa Phi secured a very competitive recruiting class. Finally, I ask, why not frame this dialogue with optimism? Instead of focusing on the negativity of the past, why not focus on the positives of the present? If the Greek community is to respond to the call, we cannot denounce those who already do their part. The purpose of this response is simply to correct the manner in which the organiza-

Column argues well for making ‘access’ affordable TO THE EDITOR: Christian Yoder’s column (“Make ‘access’ meaningful,” Sept. 30) on community college access for undocumented immigrants speaks well from an advocacy standpoint. Immigrants are part of our state and fill the larger portion of some important occupations. Latino immigrants cross to our country at great costs and live separated from loved ones. I have met one whose wages support the lives of his widowed mother and seven older siblings, and another who hasn’t seen his wife in five years. However, I do not feel that they come at such tremendous cost for a community college degree. Saying access for undocumented immigrants is a basic human right ignores the always-murky debate on immigration policy, and also the availability of on-the-job training, which most prefer over the classroom anyway. My question is this: If American community colleges offer subsidized access to undocumented immigrants, are we not holding their native countries to the same basic human right to teach and train their own citizens?

Granting in-state tuition status is highly unfair TO THE EDITOR: Christian Yoder’s column (“Make ‘access’ meaningful,” Sept. 30) yesterday made me cringe. Some of his “arguments” are so typical to his point-of-view that I didn’t know whether I was reading an independent article or a compilation of all other pro-illegal-immigrant opinion pieces. According to Yoder, the state “must grant undocumented immigrants in-state tuition status.” This is just foolish. First, they are not registered residents of the state, the same as out-of-state students. So why should they be granted this privilege over legal residents of the United States? I did not see Yoder pushing for out-of-state students to receive in-state tuition. I laughed aloud when I read his next argument: “The state needs to adopt this policy simply because access to education is a human right.” Like the stereotypical liberal, he feels as if a luxury like higher education is a “human” right. Do not throw around the phrase “human right” so simplistically. Your statements are laughable at best and provide no real insight to this topic. Please do not write another column that just plays to the beliefs of all your pro-illegal-immigrant friends. They are not the ones you need to convince. Alex Rhodes Junior Exercise, Sports Science
