Departments scramble for cash as some investments wither By Katy Charles Staff writer
The investment that finances Pam Durban’s class is underwater. That’s the financial term that means the fund that pays for the class cannot generate enough interest to cover its costs. It’s one of several endowments created since 2008 that have lost value during the prolonged financial downturn. Classes and research projects funded by the underwater endowments are at risk until the investments recoup some of the losses, but administrators are working to find other revenue sources to keep these threatened programs alive. Del Helton, director of communications and donor relations for the College of Arts and Sciences, said the main group of investments underwater fund professorships, which provide faculty members with research funding. The UNC Management Company Inc., a private financial company associated with the University, manages all of UNC’s endowments. These range from the University’s endowment, which totaled $2.3 billion in June 2008, to smaller endowments such as individual professorships. While initial returns on endowments made in 2008 did not do very well, more recent returns did extraordinarily, Helton said. “We’re in very good shape,” she said. “That’s largely the reason why more funds aren’t underwater— because of good investment of the endowment.” For each endowment, the University takes out a small percentage of the investment fund to pay for course expenses, such as the professor’s stipend. The percentage is the same for every endowment at UNC, said Board of Trustees member Sallie Shuping-Russell. But if the stock market goes down, the total amount of money in the investment fund decreases, and the same percentage cannot support the same costs.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a sweeping health care bill Saturday night that passed 220-215 in a move that many have deemed historical. McClatchy Newspapers reports that 83 percent of eligible Americans have health insurance now. If this bill is signed into law, 96 percent are expected to be insured by 2019.

Raising the cost of tuition will generate more money for needy students, which offsets the new need created by the increase, said Shirley Ort, director of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid. “We need to make sure that everyone can afford to come here and that access to the University isn’t unduly infringed by the cost of tuition,” said Board of Trustees member Roger Perry. “But we also need to make sure that the value of your Carolina education is not diminished because of a lack of funds.” The number of students qualifying for financial aid for the 2009-10 school year

Participants of Bridge II Sports, a program for disabled athletes, play at halftime during UNC’s exhibition against Belmont Abbey on Friday.
Wheelchair basketball game gives inspiration BY DAVID ADLER staff writer
For Kevin Bailey, Friday night’s wheelchair basketball game at the Smith Center was more than a 10-minute scrimmage. Bailey fell off a roof in 1996 — the year after he graduated from UNC — and was paralyzed below the chest. Friday, he was back at his alma mater, playing at halftime of the UNC-Belmont Abbey exhibition game. The last time he was on the court was as a student fan celebrating a win, he said. “This was definitely not just another event,” he said. “To actually be on the court instead of
watching from the stands was incredible. There’s just no other way to describe it.” During the game, the players did the same things as able-bodied athletes: made layups, launched shots from outside, jostled for position in the lane. The crowd reacted to every made basket, every in-and-out and every fast break, just as it did for UNC. “It was the fulfillment of a dream to be on the floor playing,” said Ashley Thomas, executive director of Bridge II Sports, which organized the event. “We were so thrilled to be able to do this.”

t would be fair to say that James Taylor, a 50-year old Buffalo, N.Y., resident, is quite the fan of Red Bull. Taylor is accused of going into the same drug store during a period of two weeks, stealing on a regular basis more than the recommended healthy dosage of the energy drink. Four separate times, Taylor went into the store, stealing $125.82 worth of Red Bull, according to police reports. Sadly, the stolen drinks did not give Taylor wings, as commercials claim, with which to fly away from the police. Some of Taylor’s thefts were recorded on the drug stores surveillance camera. He is charged with third-degree robbery. NOTED. A teacher in Texas is suing her state because they required her to be fingerprinted. She said it violates her religious freedom.

Leaders enjoy a full Congress Union Write-in candidates might not stay By ANDY Thomason Staff Writer
The election of 11 new representatives to Student Congress on Thursday filled all empty seats in the legislative body. But while current members said they are excited about the election’s results, leaders are uncertain how long the new representatives will fulfill their duties, given historically low graduate student participation in Congress. Six of the seven graduate students were elected as write-in candidates, and some did not make the decision until that night. Several of the seats filled in Thursday’s election originally became empty after graduate stu-
dents resigned their seats since they were elected last February. These students cited a lack of time for extracurricular activities as their primary reason for their lower participation in student government compared to undergraduates. Student Congress, made up of 41 students, is charged with representing both undergraduate and graduate students, including dispersing more than $350,000 a year in student fees. Seven graduate students were elected to Congress through Thursday’s election. The results released by the

Law student publishes book chapter on athlete injuries First-year law student and psychologist Desi Alonso Vásquez helped author a chapter on the risks associated with college athletics in a book to be published in early 2010. Vásquez helped write a chapter in the book “Praeger Handbook of Sports Medicine and Athlete Health,” based on his research conducted during his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Virginia Brain Injury and Sports Concussion Institute. The research examined developmental and psychosocial pressures faced by student athletes dealing with significant stress balancing their athletic and academic responsibilities.

Weather Channel meteorologist and host Adam Berg interviews Student Body President Jasmin Jones on Saturday. Berg, who claims to be the biggest college football fan at the weather channel, predicted clear skies and temperatures in the 60s for Saturday’s game.
FORECAST: VICTORY Weather Channel meteorologist visits UNC BY Melvin Backman Staff Writer
The homecoming football game against Duke wasn’t UNC’s only appearance on national television over the weekend. The Weather Channel sent a crew to UNC on Friday and Saturday to forecast the weather for the day of the football game against its rival. Meteorologist Adam Berg, who said he is the biggest college football fan at the Weather Channel, predicted good football weather for Chapel Hill, with clear skies and temperatures in the ‘60s. He was right on, as temperatures averaged 65 degrees and sunny skies ruled the day. Berg also inter viewed Chancellor Holden Thorp, Student Body President Jasmin Jones and the UNC cheerleading
squad during the parade as part of the broadcast. The piece was part of a new segment for the Weather Channel that forecasts the weather for college football games in an effort to attract sports fans. On Friday morning, Berg interviewed Jones outside Kenan Stadium where the two talked about the Homecoming parade on air. “It was invigorating,” Jones said of the experience. On Saturday, Berg joined Thorp and the cheerleaders at the Homecoming parade and the Old Well. Berg said he enjoyed being in Chapel Hill. “It’s got that college town atmosphere,” he said, adding that UNC had one of the prettier campuses he had visited.
The Weather Channel arrived one day after the Food Network, which taped an episode of “Dinner: Impossible” in the Student and Academic Services Building plaza on Thursday. Karen Moon, special projects producer for UNC News Services, said she was happy to see the school on TV so much throughout the week. “That’s great exposure for the University — fabulous exposure,” Moon said. Duke fans made no appearances on any of the broadcasts. While representing the University on television and conducting interviews, Jones didn’t wear the traditional Carolina blue, instead choosing a yellow sweater. “I have to be bright and shiny for Carolina,” she said.

‘No Shave November’ begins BY Mike Bloom STAFF Writer

‘YellowBox’ kiosk to charge $1 a day BY Natalie Prince Staff Writer
The Carolina Union Activities Board has agreed to bring a movie rental kiosk to the Student Union to provide students with more rental options. The agreement, which has been discussed since September, will allow the movie rental company Go-Go Movies to install a YellowBox DVD kiosk outside the Student Union filled with new release movies. The agreement will last five years, and students will be charged an initial one-day rental fee of $1, with an extra dollar charged per night. CUAB President Amanda Kao said the 24-hour kiosk will provide another rental option for students, who can currently check movies out from the Media Resources Center in the Undergraduate Library or rent movies from local businesses. “We considered it because the MRC is closed over the weekend, and it is hard for students to access new movies,” she said. “We thought it would be a good addition because it would be accessible for 24 hours.” Chelsea Miller, who represents Student Body President Jasmin Jones on the activities board, said she was unsure of when Go-Go Movies would install the kiosk. She said she assumed the kiosk would open soon because the contract lasts five years. Miller compared the YellowBox DVD kiosk to the RedBox DVD machine proposed for Rams Head Market by former student body president candidate Thomas Edwards. She said another kiosk might be installed on South Campus if the one by the Student Union is successful. “I feel like it is such a good thing to have because the MRC is closed on weekends,” she said, adding that the machine would accept cash and cards but not OneCards. She added that the Student Union will receive between 5 cents and 7 cents per rental. “We all thought that it was going to be really profitable with a location at the Student Union,” Miller said. But some students were not as enthusiastic. “I probably wouldn’t use it because the MRC has a lot of movies anyway,” said junior Stacy Nam. “I tend to not buy things if I can help it.” Others said the kiosk would not necessarily be convenient. “Why would you want to come all the way over here when you can walk to the bottom of your dorm?” said Chris Moore, who lives in Stacy Residence Hall. But others were excited by the idea of the YellowBox kiosk. “I would use it, definitely,” said British exchange student Jonathon Greenhow. “I don’t have a subscription online, so it would be nice to have something physical to watch.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
Butler University drops libel suit against junior By seth cline
Josh Britton, junior
to host DVD rentals
Butler University is disciplining a student who criticized administrators on the Internet after the university dropped the first-ever lawsuit against a student for online libel. Instead of the lawsuit, Butler will pursue internal disciplinary actions against junior Jess Zimmerman, who criticized university administrators anonymously on his blog, “TrueBU.” “There have been threats against individuals before,” said Mike Hiestand, legal consultant to the Student Press Law Center. “But I’m not aware of a single reported court decision where a school has gone after a student for libel, especially not over the Internet.” The lawsuit, Butler University v. John Doe, claimed the blog “harmed the honesty, integrity and professional reputation of Butler University and two of its high-level administrators.” It remained under wraps
until early October, when Butler University professor Bill Watts made the case public with a letter of protest to the student newspaper and with an e-mail to members of the faculty senate. “I felt very strongly that it was inappropriate for the university to sue a student,” Watts said. “The attack on Jess and the blog does threaten free speech.” In his letter, Watts said the university “should stand for freedom of speech” rather than “slapping libel suits on … those who make statements with which they disagree.” Zimmerman created the blog in October 2008 and wrote under the pen name “Soodo Nym.” In early December, Zimmerman wrote that the firing of Andrea Gullickson, chairwoman of the School of Music and Zimmerman’s stepmother, was abrupt. In a series of posts made Dec. 16, he wrote that Peter Alexander, dean

Senior photojournalism major Carly Brantmeyer and senior chemistry and history major Desmond Rowe were crowned 2009 Homecoming queen and king Saturday by last year’s king, Jeremy Crouthamel.
Brantmeyer, Rowe to begin service projects By Mary Withers Staff Writer
When Carly Brantmeyer heard her name announced as the 2009 Homecoming queen Saturday, she said it felt like a dream. “It just felt really surreal,” said the senior photojournalism major from Charlotte. “I’m still trying to process it. It was really exciting.” Homecoming king Desmond Rowe, who received 39 percent of the 4,288 votes cast, said he felt relieved. “It was one of those successful moments where everything falls into place,” he said. Rowe and Brantmeyer, who will serve as king and queen of UNC for the next year, will carry out service projects they designed with the $1,000 they will receive from Carolina Athletic Association. Both hope to use the money to develop long-term community projects. Brantmeyer, who received 27 percent of 4,504 votes, will expand a project called PhotoTEACH, which provides weekly photography classes to students from low-income and underprivileged families. She
started the project while studying abroad in Ghana and brought it to Durham last semester. With the award, she said she hopes to further expand the program and open it to the UNC community. She said photography empowers students, providing them with confidence and the ability to work in teams. “Photography classes translate into life lessons,” she said. “It teaches them that they can achieve whatever they set their minds to, and they don’t have to be defined by their circumstances.” She said she will feature the students’ work in an exhibit so the UNC community can realize the impact of the program. “I hope to show in a visible and tangible way how their vote made a difference,” Brantmeyer said. She said the project can continue after she graduates in May. Rowe said he will use the money to launch Caring and Active Relief through Athletics and Community, a program for the parents and siblings of hospital patients. He said the program will include

He has been working to get support from local businesses to provide gift certificates and additional funding. The project is also a way for the University to promote itself, he said. Rowe said he was inspired by the clubs he has been involved with at UNC and is trying to build support within these groups as well. He is a member of Dance Marathon and Carolina Kickoff and is co-chairman of Carolina Fever. “It just made sense to me,” he said. “It’s something we hadn’t been doing and hadn’t thought of yet.” Rowe and Brantmeyer both said that as king and queen, they will be a face for the University. “That’s a great responsibility of any elected student, to represent the University in the best possible manner,” Rowe said.

The groups united in conjunction with the weekend’s Contact the University Editor Homecoming festivities and for the UNC vs. Duke football rivalry. The Tar Heels were able to defeat Duke at udesk@unc.edu. 19-6 in the sold-out game. Both teams had winning records coming into the game, the first time since 1994.

The Homecoming parade was met with the support of many locals and alumni but lacked a strong student presence, despite Student Body President Jasmin Jones’ strong push for the revitalization of the event. The parade, which hadn’t been held since 1993, lasted about 20 minutes — shorter than the estimated 45 minutes. It began on East Cameron Avenue, snaked its way through Franklin Street and finished on Raleigh Street. A scattering of students woke up by 11 a.m. to watch the Marching Tar Heels lead the parade. “For the first parade in 16 years, I don’t think it was an accurate representation of school spirit,” said sophomore Stephanie Tan, who came out to watch the parade. “But I still thought it was awesome, and if they continue to do this, it’s going to get better.” While the parade didn’t bring back the energy and fervor of past parades, it was a chance for alumni to see representatives of the cur-
rent student body. “It’s really exciting,” said Chris Stones, a member of the Marching Tar Heels. “It’s what attaches people to Carolina, and helps to bring back more of the alumni.” Though past parades usually showcased many floats, this year only three student groups made their own floats: the Student Membership Leadership Council of the General Alumni Association, the Carolina Union Activities Board and Carolina Fever. Floats are time-consuming to make and are costly, which may be why so few were in the parade, said Tina Chen-Xu, assistant director of planning and operations in the Student Membership Leadership Council. She said she could not say the exact amount that was spent on the council’s float. Tommy Sims, a 1978 graduate who returned for the Homecoming game, said that while the parade has changed, the return of the tradition helps boost team spirit on game day. “While I don’t remember the
score of the game, I do remember the parade,” Sims said. In previous years, the parade was held on the Friday afternoon before the game, and would draw in students as well as many people from the area, Sims said. He said Franklin Street businesses closed and many of the fraternities had contests to see who could make the most creative float for the “Beat Duke” parade. Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership Executive Director Jim Norton said there was no way to predict how much money comes in from events like Homecoming. “There’s no way to measure it,” he said. Heather Frazier, the retail division manager of Johnny T-Shirt, said it doesn’t matter whether there’s a parade to draw business. “Carolina fans are going to come out and support their team regardless,” she said.

endowments from page 1
Keeping classes afloat Administrators searched for money to keep one class alive even though the endowment funding it — the Sallie ShupingRussell Distinguished Visiting Professorship — is underwater. Titled “Living Writers” and taught by Durban, the class brings in four leading contemporary American authors to speak to students during the semester. “The students of the class will read works by them, study them, and then the writers themselves will visit,” said Director of Creative Writing Michael McFee. The class, which is being offered for the first time this year, is open to 15 students. The dramatic drop in the stock market hit the class’ endowment just six weeks after it was donated on July 1, 2008, said Margaret Costley, associate director of capital gifts for the College of Arts and Sciences. “It’s a frustrating thing when that happens, but it happens,” said Shuping-Russell, whose $666,000 gift created the class. McFee said once the English department heard the endowment was underwater, they could have cancelled the course for the fall and waited until the fund rebounded. But he said they wanted to be able to do something encouraging for undergraduate students, so they offered the class using other department funds to make up the difference. “In fact, Living Writers is a triumph and not a casualty of the economy,” McFee said in an e-mail.
“It’s a frustrating thing when that happens, but it happens.”

Staying alive Senior Jordan Wingate said the class has been rewarding. “That is an opportunity that I’m not sure I’m going to have again — ever,” he said. He said students get to see that writers are real people, not just someone on the cover of a book. Shuping-Russell said she gave the endowment to support the creative writing department. “Writing is really a hard process. It’s just comforting, I think, to know that great people face that same dilemma,” she said. “Students get to learn from those who are practicing the art now.” Shuping-Russell said if she and administrators decide to change the program to keep it going, there are several options that will allow it to continue even if the endowment stays underwater next year. “The University could try to find other funds to help fund it, I could fund it annually until it comes back up, or we could delay it,” she said. McFee said he was hopeful the fund will recover sooner rather than later. As of now, McFee and Shuping-Russell said there is no change planned for the program, which is supposed to be offered again next fall.

Since Jim Merritt, the only black member of the council, was not reelected, Chapel Hill could be represented by the first all-white Town Council in decades.

and private donations. “The most important thing for me is that if you charge it, make sure you give me enough money for those students who actually have to pay into that fund so we can protect them from that charge,” Ort said. In 2007-08, the University was able to cover 70 percent of undergraduate student need with grants and scholarships, up from 54 percent in 1999-2000. The rest was covered with work study and loans. But even to provide only 65 percent of aid in the form of grants for the coming year, Ort’s office would need $3.8 million, an amount tuition is unlikely to pro-
vide. Covering 71 percent in grants would cost $13 million. Even the larger, 6.5 percent tuition increase for out-of-state students would provide only about $3 million. The smaller increase would generate about $2 million. The proposed tuition increase for out-of-state students will hit middle-income students the hardest, she said. These students will most likely not receive aid to cover the increased costs and will have to fund this amount themselves.
Bridge II Sports, which links people in wheelchairs with athletic opportunities. The scrimmage was coached by Justin Kiley, whose father, Dave, earned nine Paralympic gold medals in basketball, skiing and racing.
The players represented all levels of experience. Mike Atkins, who co-founded the team he plays for in 1992, and Timothy Corbett, now the commissioner of the Carolina Conference, are 17-year wheelchair basketball veterans. Sean Burns and Akeem Hassell are highschoolers playing up. “Just to see all the blue, the fans so into it, was a special experience,” Corbett said. “It was an honor to play on the court where Jordan played, where ’Sheed played, where my heroes played.” Fellow player Daniel Moody was equally impressed. “It was like playing in the Holy Land,” he said. The scrimmage was refereed by Raymond Miller, who has officiated wheelchair basketball for more than 12 years, including two National Wheelchair Basketball Association championships and the 1996 Paralympic Games. “These are some phenomenal athletes,” Miller said. “They’ve
beaten a lot of pros in these chairs. It’s always a pleasure to be in their company.” Bailey was still in the hospital when a therapist asked him about playing wheelchair basketball. “I grew up playing basketball,” he said. “It made sense to keep going, even in a chair.” He said the chair skills were hard to learn at first and took some time to develop. Dribbling, for example, requires quickly alternating between bouncing the ball and pushing the wheelchair. Going three pushes without dribbling is a traveling violation. “People think they can’t do the same things, but it’s the same rules, the same game, just in a chair,” Kiley said. “But you could see how many people were out there cheering. We were showing them we can do whatever they can do.”

will generate enough revenue for the University to provide the same level of grants, which do not have to be repaid, as it has in the past. While Ort said student need would be less under a smaller tuition increase, putting less of a burden on her office, she wants to make sure she has enough funding to continue covering the majority of student need with aid that does not have to be repaid. A 6.5 percent increase will come closer to meeting that need, she said, especially as the school faces uncertainty about how much it will receive from outside revenue sources including federal grants

Getting crushed by a crush can help
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Representative says ASG doesn’t live up to promise
D
o you remember your first crush? I had a late-night talk with a friend of mine earlier this week on how to deal with her unwanted suitor. It was the usual story of a boy’s mindless love taps and the girl’s flat-out rejection. I used the opportunity to tell her and a few of her friends about my theories on infatuations and why men and women act the way they do. I laid out for her how to deal with her situation, simple and plain. “Nip it in the bud,” I told her. “You’re a pretty girl. Just like Spider-Man, with great power comes great responsibility.” She shuddered as I said it. I’m not a big fan of the recent SpiderMan sequels, either, but it’s true. I told her that her responsibility was to break hearts as softly as possible, in as few pieces as she could — and maybe even sweep up afterward. Love stories are sappy, unrealistic representations of the human condition. And in this naive idea, you can imagine the look on his face as she told him, “No, thanks.” I told her not to worry about his disappointment. Through the repeated rejection of women, men are some of the most durable bags of emotion you can find. I’ve been there before, and most guys have, too. Do you remember your very first crush? Do you also remember how awesome it was to finally confess your attraction for her? That feeling was awesome. It happened around middle school for me. Everyone spread the gossip and had a reason to talk to you about you — an egoist’s dream. You were the talk of the school on the day you told her how you felt. Do you remember how your first crush crushed you? How that rejection was like a treacherous Cupid shooting a canister of napalm at you? Most of us, at least for the people like me who don’t know when to shut up, had our first crushes blow up on us. We were young, inexperienced and stupid. From the wreckage, we learned more about ourselves than we could have ever learned had we kept our secrets and remained, onlooking, in the safety of our comfort zones. Emotional maturity is based on trial and error. If you don’t try and make mistakes, you won’t learn. Not dating around and waiting for a knight-in-shiningarmor is like not doing the homework for a class: Don’t expect to do well on the tests. You can’t succeed if you don’t do the work. A few girls I talked to think they know what they want. Some of these girls are even willing to hold out until they find him. But how do they know when they find him, if they’ve never emotionally invested in a man? I think they’re waiting for Ryan Gosling to ride up on horseback and sweep them off their feet. It’s as if they’re saying, “Unless you pick me up and plop me on the back of your horse, I’m busy Friday night.” So throw a napalm canister at a man every time he has an empathetic feeling. We learn from negative reinforcement. We have been conditioned to not show emotion from an early age. Our fathers always told us not to, schoolyard crushes showed us not to and then here we are today repeating the process, still. But the cause of our different attitudes toward emotion are caused by the same idea. Maybe we’re all just too in love with love.

Bridge the divide Close race means mayor-elect Kleinschmidt should work with Czajkowski-oriented business community
T
he race is over. The election is won, and now it’s time for us as a town to come together behind mayorelect Mark Kleinschmidt. That being said, it’s important that Kleinschmidt realize he’s dealing with a divided electorate — two groups that have distinctly different visions for Chapel Hill’s economic future. There’s the side that embraces the direction Chapel Hill is currently headed in, and another constituency, which voted for Matt Czajkowski, that wants a more businessoriented future for Chapel Hill. People have noted that those labels aren’t entirely accurate,
and those people might be right. But regardless of their accuracy, those labels stuck. And that’s how people in the town saw the two candidates. Kleinschmidt already seems to be keenly aware of this divide. He told The Daily Tar Heel last week that he thinks the economic issues were what truly divided the campaign. He’s right, and he’ll need to lead accordingly. Kleinschmidt has promised to bring Chapel Hill together, and one of the first ways he’s seeking to do that is by gaining more support from the business community. More of these commitments will be necessary to unify this
town’s competing visions, and we trust Kleinschmidt realizes that. But as he begins planning for his two-year term as mayor, Kleinschmidt should keep in mind that he won by the lowest margin in recent Chapel Hill history. That doesn’t, and shouldn’t, undermine his leadership as our mayor. Kleinschmidt made a name for himself by bridging gaps and seeking compromise. Those skills he’s been refining for the past eight years on the Town Council will be crucial as the town seeks to put its election season differences aside and support its new mayor.
Students not so artful CUAB and student artists should do a better job to ensure that gallery exhibit doesn’t leave wall bare again
C
iting complaints from student artists about a lack of space to show their work on campus, the Carolina Union Activities Board’s art gallery committee decided to showcase student artwork in the Union gallery this semester. But when the time actually came for students to submit pieces for the gallery, only 10 sent anything in to be displayed. The lack of participation from student artists is disappointing. The Union gallery often displays professional work or themed exhibits, and CUAB’s idea to plan an exhibit exclusively showing work produced by students was thoughtful.
Unfortunately, it was CUAB that had to take a hit in the form of an incomplete exhibit because so few people submitted pieces. Committee chairwoman Shivani Chudasama advertised the gallery exhibit over multiple listservs and throughout the art department and even extended the deadline for artwork submissions in the hope that more students would participate. Of the few students who expressed interest, many did not have immediate access to their pieces, and others had concerns about their work being damaged while on display. Because of this, the student exhibit, which was installed in mid-October, only includes 12
pieces — not nearly enough to cover the walls of the Union gallery. If CUAB wants to attract student art, it should work to allay student concerns. Later this month, the student work will be taken down and replaced with the gallery’s next exhibit, which will feature a local artist. A gallery exhibit without gaps on the walls will be a welcome change from its current state, but it’s unfortunate that students did not utilize their chance to put their own art on display. It is hoped that CUAB will decide to show student artwork again in the future, and the request will be met by actual submissions.

TO THE EDITOR I must respectfully disagree with McKay Roozen and Lee Storrow. Their letter, “ASG expenses are justified for all to attend meetings,” (Nov. 6), suggested that the referendum regarding the Association of Student Governments is being promoted only by conservatives who wish to eliminate ASG. As a liberal, I reject the idea that giving students a vote on an issue that affects them fits only with a conservative philosophy. The single most common complaint I hear from my constituents is that they feel they pay too much in mandatory student fees, yet they do not receive much benefit from many of them. The fact is that ASG and the mandatory student fee that funds it were both created without the input of the student body, and Student Congress has oversight only in how delegates are selected, not in whether to participate or the amount of the fee. Much of the ASG student fee money is spent on travel to monthly meetings. The purpose of these meetings is ostensibly to talk about issues at various campuses and find ways to advocate for students; however, unlike when ASG was first formed, these goals could now easily be accomplished using conference calls and e-mail, at enormous cost savings to UNC students. The proposed referendum seeks to give students two choices: a vote of confidence in ASG, in which case it would be written into the Constitution, or a vote of no confidence, which would send a strong signal to the Board of Governors that students do not see any benefit from continuing to pay the ASG fee.

Town Council should heed calls to appoint Pohlman TO THE EDITOR Matt Pohlman should be appointed to fill Bill Strom’s seat. If Strom had resigned two days earlier, there would have been a fifth seat up for election. Some argue an African American should be seated in Strom’s seat, but such notion is undemocratic and racist. Imagine if someone said, “A white person should fill Strom’s seat”? There would be national outrage at such a statement! So why is there not outrage over the comment that “an African American should replace Strom”? The ballot offered an incumbent African-American candidate, Jim Merritt, but he placed sixth. Yes, Chapel Hill has long had an African American sitting on the council, but that does not mean we should set aside our democratic principles because the process did not result in an African American being elected to the Council this year. Racism is not in play; two of the three newly elected School Board members are African Americans. Our system ultimately determines who is most qualified for public office through the content of one’s character and not by the color of his skin.

Democracy depends on people’s ability to elect those who they wish to represent them; as such, Pohlman should be seated on the Council for the remainder of Strom’s term. If the council fails to do this, they jeopardize the legitimacy of our democracy, the democratic process, and the credibility of the Town Council. Kendall Law Junior Business
Sexist language on posters undermines Homecoming TO THE EDITOR: I was appalled to see that UNC awarded sexist and violent language in the Homecoming banner competition. A poster with violent sexual phrases was given a place ribbon and displayed on the wall of the student union. Using words like “screw” and “nail” to represent school spirit is detrimental as it normalizes these violent sexual acts. This banner uses a play on sexual domination, something that sadly in our society is representative of the expected male role in sexual relationships. Even without the gendered undertone, the words are problematic due to their violence. If we continue to equate violent sexual acts with positive themes like winning sporting events within our language, we create a society in which people are unable to address violent sexual acts. By making violence and sex synonymous and normal, we allow crimes in our society to be excused and even condoned. Our language is such a simple act to change but it is so important because it can empower people, for good or for bad, who understand words’ meanings within a culture.

UNC students should use their heads, wear helmets TO THE EDITOR: Why do most of us UNC students not wear helmets when pedaling around campus? Even a slow speed crash has enough energy to cause a skull fracture and fatal bleeding around the brain. A more common injury to an unhelmeted rider is a concussion which will cause weeks of terrible headaches, and memory and concentration problems. A simple trip to the ER with a CT scan of your head takes half a day and will cost thousands of dollars. Why do most of us forgo the helmet? It isn’t required by law but neither is wearing a seat belt in the back of a car. I don’t know about you, but almost everyone I know buckles up when in any seat of a car. I know that when I am riding my bike or driving my car I am not likely to crash but I have in the past and will probably in the future. I am willing to protect all that costly education in my head and it would be a safer and smarter world if more UNC students did too. Evan Corey Graduate Student School of Medicine

Health care faces Iraqi parliament sets elections for Senate opposition January, resolves issues with ballots CHICAGO (MCT) — Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said Sunday that Senate Democrats have the votes to get the issue to the floor but not to pass it at this point. Significant differences remain between the House-passed health care reform plan and senators, said Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate. Reconciliation — needing only a simple majority — remains an option though it would prevent enacting some major reforms, such as requiring private insurers to cover pre-existing conditions.
BAGHDAD (MCT) — Iraq’s parliament on Sunday passed a law setting national elections for January, averting for now a political crisis that threatened the country’s stability. The law eases a growing source of concern for the Obama administration, which is considering sending 34,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Successful elections here are key to a reduction of U.S. troops in Iraq by next summer. The elections, scheduled for Jan. 23, were held up by a dispute over Kirkuk, a region where both
Arabs and Kurds claim a majority. Lawmakers resolved the disagreement by agreeing to use voter rolls from 2009 and not a 2004 voter list compiled before many Kurds moved into the region. The lawmakers also resolved how to list candidates on the ballot. Under the new law, candidates will be listed by name and not party affiliation — a “closed list” in which voters do not know who the individual candidates are. The decision to use names will make it more difficult for religious-based parties to win support.
Afghans battling H1N1 pandemic
Troops decision still not finalized
Obama to embark on tour of Asia
KABUL, Afghanistan (MCT) — Afghans are facing a new killer: H1N1. The government has declared a state of emergency, and closed schools, universities and even wedding halls and public bathrooms for three weeks to slow the spread of the virus, which has killed 10 people in the capital in less than two weeks. There is no H1N1 vaccine on hand, although the government expects to receive 550,000 doses through the World Health Organization and is asking for 11 million doses of vaccine.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — President Barack Obama might not announce a decision to send more than 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan next year until after he consults with key allies and completes a trip to Asia later this month. The plan would fall well short of the 80,000 troops that Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal suggested as a “low-risk option” that would offer the best chance to contain the Talibanled insurgency and stabilize Afghanistan.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — President Barack Obama will begin a four-nation tour of Asia starting Wednesday. He planned the nine-day trip around the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Singapore but added stops in Japan, China and South Korea. The itinerary reflects the growing importance of East Asia to everything from financing U.S. debt and powering the global economic recovery to climate change, disease control and nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran.
Board of Elections show that 4,851 votes were cast. The special election was prompted by an Oct. 8 lawsuit filed by graduate student representative Emily Danforth against Student Body President Jasmin Jones and Board of Elections Chairman Pete Gillooly. Danforth alleged that the absence of a special election to fill empty seats designated for graduate students denied them full representation in Congress. At a Graduate and Professional Student Federation Senate meeting Thursday night, Danforth and Joe Levin-Manning, speaker

of the College of Fine Arts, “acted inappropriately and inexcusably,” and called him “power-hungry and afraid of his own shadow.” His comments also were intended for Provost Jamie Comstock. Earlier, Zimmerman wrote that Comstock “doesn’t seem to care much for student opinion” and was “unwilling to work with students unless she can see how the relationship will directly benefit her.” At the end of December, the university’s lawyer contacted Zimmerman via the e-mail address listed on the blog to inform him that Butler was pressing charges. Zimmerman immediately took down the blog. The suit was filed in January against John Doe because all administrators knew about the
of Student Congress, encouraged graduate students interested in running for Congress to run writein campaigns so that the seats would be filled. Write-in candidate Serena Witzke, who decided to run at the meeting, won the vacant District 8 seat with only seven votes, according to election results. District 8 represents graduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Education. Newly elected graduate representative Adam Campbell, who will represent students in the medical schools, said he plans on serving in Congress for the remainder of his time at UNC. “As far as other members go, I guess I couldn’t speak,” he said.
Both L e vin-Manning and Gillooly said they did not know how long all seats in Congress will remain occupied. Levin-Manning said he hopes newly elected members of Congress don’t resign, but he said he would rather they gave up their seats if they did not plan to execute their jobs effectively. He also said the new members will have a positive effect on Congress. “I think it’s going to offer more feedback and more sides to the argument,” he said. “I think it’s definitely going to add to the color of the conversation.”
identity of the blog author was his pen name, “Soodo Nym.” Zimmerman said he first became aware of legal action against him in early summer when the university lawyer approached his father, Michael Zimmerman. Michael Zimmerman was dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, but his contract was not renewed at the beginning of summer 2008. The university offered Michael and Jess Zimmerman a settlement: It would drop the charges against Jess if Jess would agree to campus disciplinary procedures and confidentiality and waive the right to appeal the decision. The settlement was turned down.
shave technique and certainly a lot of testosterone.” Amato said he also knows that increasing facial hair can be a turnoff to the ladies. But he isn’t fazed. It comes with the territory. “Some are down with it — some aren’t,” he said. “I mean, if they can’t handle the beard, they can’t handle me.” The Daily Tar Heel will track Amato’s progress throughout the month in weekly chronicles. Sworn to his commitment, Amato should be near caveman status come the end of the month. As of Wednesday, he said he was already in need of a shave.

North Carolina rolls in exhibition win By POWELL Latimer
MEN’S BASKETBALL Sports Editor Belmont Abbey After UNC’s 107-59 exhibition win against Belmont Abbey, coach UNC Roy Williams had a minor slipup. “… And Tyler — Tyler Zeller — well, I guess he’s the only Tyler I’ve got now,” Williams said. Williams’ confusion can be forgiven. Zeller’s stat line (7-11, 17 points and six rebounds) was eerily similar to the ones departed All-American and National Player of the Year Tyler Hansbrough used to throw up regularly. And while Zeller said he felt like a freshman again in the locker room, his play — and his body — are a far cry from the tentative freshman who spent much of last season sidelined with injuries. Instead, Zeller had obviously bulked up and was assertive on offense. Gone were the fadeaway jumpers he favored last season, replaced by authoritative dunks and layups from the lower block. It helps that Zeller was facing a Belmont Abbey team that didn’t have a player taller than 6 foot, 8 inches. Senior Deon Thompson, sophomore Ed Davis and Zeller combined for 23-32 shooting on the night, and as a team, UNC racked up 76 points in the paint. Williams was dead on the mark when he said the game was a “glorified practice,” as the undermanned Crusaders couldn’t handle UNC. And it remains to be seen if the powerful, dunking 7-footer will be

But what is clear is that Zeller, along with UNC’s other big men, can run the floor. Tar Heel bigs streaked down the floor and got early position — often for easy buckets. “I’m almost positive I can get down the court and throw it into the post,” point guard Larry Drew II said. “So it just makes my job a lot easier.” Drew’s statement was reflected in his stat line. His eight assists were often to a forward streaking down the floor. And Zeller’s size is something that UNC has missed. The Tar Heels haven’t had a 7-foot starter since Brendan Haywood in 2000. While Williams may still get his current Tyler mixed up with the one who set so many records, Zeller seemed to have made his mark on his teammates after the game. “No. I know (Hansbrough)’s gone,” Thompson said. “I don’t get them mixed up.” But if Zeller’s performance continues, the comparisons to that other Tyler might well continue.

His replacement was more than capable Saturday, though. The UNC offense rode Houston’s shoulders all night, especially during the decisive fourth quarter drive that finally gave the Tar Heels a twopossession lead. The play-by-play for that drive sounds like a broken record. Houston carries for six. Houston carries for three. Houston for five. Houston for four. Houston again for two. Then a rare pass play, and then five more carries by Houston. Houston was handed the ball 10 times out of 12 plays on the drive. He accounted for 55 yards, which would have been enough for the fourth-best rushing total in an entire game for his career. Oh, and he delivered the lead block on Jheranie Boyd’s ensuing touchdown run, putting UNC up 16-6. “In the fourth quarter, I really felt like they were getting fatigued because I was getting a lot of arm tackles,” Houston said. “I was running through all the tackles, and they weren’t pressing me as much as they were in the first quarter.” But even after 37 carries, No. 32 hadn’t had enough. “I want 40 now,” he said. Even with such an effective run-

played its final home game of the season Sunday against a Virginia Tech team that has played better than its 7-7 ACC record suggests. But the game was also the last home game for the team’s departing seniors: outside hitters Megan Owens and Branagan Fuller, as well as middle blockers Heather Brooks and Ingrid Hanson-Tuntland. The match marked the last time the team would play a home game in the Smith Center, with Carmichael Auditorium opening Nov. 13. “This game was not only significant for the seniors because it was our last home game, but it was also significant for the whole team,” Owens said. “We really wanted to focus on having a great team victory and leaving our Dean Dome tradition on a really high note.” After a dominating 3-1 win against Virginia in front of more than 7,000 attendees on Friday, the Tar Heels took on the Hokies. UNC pulled off the 3-2 victory in five tough sets. “It was a pretty crazy match,” coach Joe Sagula said. “It seems this year whenever we play Virginia Tech, it’s a strange type of match.” Virginia Tech won the first set, and in doing so, it became clear that the team that played with the best strategy and ball placement — not just power — would win the match. “It was a tactical game,” Sagula
said. “But in the end, it seemed to all come together.” The Tar Heels rallied back in the second set and won 25-23 after an intense back-and-forth battle. But Virginia Tech won the third set, again by a margin of 25-18. UNC took the fourth set 25-20.

ning game, those 19 points might not have been enough were it not for an impressive defensive performance. The 125 total yards that the Tar Heels allowed was a season low. Even more impressive, though, was the fact that the Blue Devils had accumulated those 125 yards after three quarters. They didn’t manage to add a single net yard to that total in the last 15 minutes. “We work on the one-on-one all the time in practice,” defensive end Robert Quinn said. “Whoever gets that one-on-one has to make the best of that opportunity.” Casey Barth was a perfect fourfor-four on field goal attempts, all of which were between 29 and 41 yards. He has now made nine in a row during North Carolina’s last five games. As the game wound down, the action on the field got a little chippy, and Davis said he was disappointed with his team’s ability to maintain its composure and avoid penalties. But he recognized that any time these two teams square off, it’s bound to be a hard-fought contest. And this time, his team won that bout. “The one thing that this team did do tonight is that they fought,” he said. “They competed, and they played as hard as they could.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. running game, limiting the Blue Devils to just 12 yards on 19 carries. Davis said making Duke’s offense one-dimensional was a crucial aspect of what UNC’s defensive coaches planned to do to limit Lewis. “We didn’t allow any kind of running game to get generated,” Davis said. “You don’t want to have to start cheating the box and devoting a whole lot of extra people to stopping the run.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. handle, with the senior forward accumulating ten shots with five of them on frame. “I guess I’ve just been taking a lot more shots because I want to score more,” Nogueira said. “I’m sick of not scoring.” Along with MVP Nogueira, Harris, Whitney Engen, Kristi Eveland and Heath were named to the All-Tournament team. The Tar Heels anticipate a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, which will begin next week. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

Heels rebound to win ACCs Women’s soccer claims 20th conference title WOMEN’S Soccer Florida State UNC
0 3
By Jonathan Jones Assistant Sports Editor
After finishing 7-3 in the conference and third in the ACC during the regular season, the North Carolina women’s soccer team made its conference struggles a distant memory just minutes into the ACC Tournament Championship. Jessica McDonald found Casey Nogueira, who beat her defender and with one foot inside the 16-yard box, slotted a shot into the back of the net just inside the left post past a seemingly paralyzed Florida State keeper. Nogueira’s strike was the first in the Tar Heels’ 3-0 rout of the Seminoles on Sunday. “The ball that Jess gave me was perfect, and if I didn’t finish, I probably would have been benched,” said Nogueira, who was named the ACC Tournament Most Valuable Player. With the victory, the Tar Heels avenged their regular season 3-2 double overtime loss to Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla., on Oct. 22. The game also marked the 20th ACC Championship UNC has won after taking part in all 22 ACC title matches. UNC’s second goal was its easiest of the day. Sophomore forward Courtney Jones had her legs taken out in the 13th minute by Seminole defender Toni Pressley while inside the box. Dorrance tabbed reigning national player of the year Nogueira for the penalty kick, and she did not disappoint, finding the left side of the net again for her eighth goal of the season and UNC’s 3,000th goal as a program. Senior forward Sterling Smith scored her first goal of the season in the 70th minute to cap the title match. After Tobin Heath displayed her ball handling skills at the top of the box, she passed to a streaking Smith, who buried the game’s third goal. The Tar Heels racked up 26 shots and eight on goal Sunday. UNC’s defense allowed the Seminoles only eight shots, with keeper Ashlyn Harris making two saves. FSU, which had racked up 58 goals on the season, was held scoreless for only the fifth time in 21 matches this season. FSU sophomore forward and ACC offensive player of the year Tiffany McCarty had only one shot on goal coming in the 21st minute, which bent directly into Harris’ grasp. “Their front-runners are very fast, great players, so we had to respect them a little bit more today,” Harris said. “To be honest, they didn’t really get any opportunities.” The ease with which UNC scored Sunday against the Seminoles was not representative of the entire weekend. Boston College stretched the Tar Heels to double overtime Friday in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament before UNC
At home on the Hill, Tar Heels level Devils By mike ehrlich senior writer
As the final seconds ticked off the clock in North Carolina’s 19-6 win against Duke on Saturday, two UNC seniors jumped off the bench for an all-out sprint toward the west end zone. Having won that footrace, defensive end E.J. Wilson earned the privilege of joyously leaping onto the back of the Victory Bell and ringing it while Cam Thomas and teammates pulled him back up the field. “We were like, ‘Hey, we got to get to the Victory Bell; we can’t let Duke take it from us,’” Thomas said. “So basically when we saw time running out we were like, ‘Oh, it’s time now, baby. Let’s go get it.’” For the sixth time in a row and the 19th time in the last 20 years, UNC defeated the rival Blue Devils (5-4, 3-2 in the ACC) and earned the rights to hold onto the hardware for one more year. In doing so, the Tar Heels (6-3, 2-3 ACC) earned their sixth win of the season, moving them within one win of bowl eligibility with three games left to play. The key to victory Saturday, at least on the offensive side of the ball, was simple: Hand the

Ryan Houston ground out a career high 37 carries for a career high 164 yards. His previous records were 18 carries and 74 yards. The brutish back actually out gained the entire Duke offense, which managed just 125 yards from scrimmage. “He was an absolute workhorse,” UNC coach Butch Davis said. “He pounded them and pounded them.” The multitude of carries was a necessity because of an injury to starting tailback Shaun Draughn, who left the game after fracturing his left shoulder blade on the first play from scrimmage. Draughn will miss the remainder of the season, the athletic department said on Sunday.

North Carolina limits Blue Devils to 113 passing yards Lewis struggles with man coverage By David reynolds SportSaturday Editor
In the aftermath of North Carolina’s 19-6 victory against Duke, Blue Devil quarterback Thaddeus Lewis barely hesitated when asked where UNC’s defense rated. “ The best defense we’ ve played,” Lewis said. To say the Tar Heels’ pass defense grounded Lewis and Duke’s prolific aerial attack would be an understatement.
Duke, which boasted the fifth best passing offense in the country before the game, only mustered 113 yards through the air Saturday, more than 200 yards below its season average. Juniors Charles Brown and Deunta Williams both nabbed interceptions for North Carolina to add to those struggles. UNC’s secondary mostly used man-to-man coverage to slow down the Blue Devils, but also switched to zone on several occa-
sions to keep Lewis from getting comfortable. “We just did a good job of breaking on the short routes, which they were going to try and nickel and dime us down the field,” Williams said. “We played really tight. We weren’t really worried about the double moves. We had guys over the top.” The defensive backfield’s aggressiveness to close the game helped correct what transpired two weeks ago against Florida State, when Christian Ponder carved UNC up for 395 yards. Williams, who talked early in
the week about the similarities between the Seminoles’ and Blue Devils’ passing attacks, said a shift in the team’s defensive game plan made the difference. “We went to more of a dime package, because in the second half against Florida State, we were more in the nickel,” Williams said. “We didn’t get ourselves a chance to match up with those receivers as well as we could have.” And while the secondary did most of the heavy lifting, the defensive line did plenty themselves to disrupt Lewis’ rhythm. Lewis constantly found him-
self hurried and the pocket collapsing around him, with sophomore Robert Quinn’s three sacks leading the way. The consistent pressure forced Lewis to shift his concentration away from downfield before his receivers could get separation from UNC’s cornerbacks. “Just relentless pressure on the quarterback,” Butch Davis said. “Not giving him time to throw, making him stay in the pocket, making him throw out of the well, making him throw off his

UNC finishes season strong Tar Heels thrive as key players return By grant Fitzgerald Staff writer

Senior Casey Nogueira scored two goals against Florida State and was named the tournament’s most valuable player.
There is just something about tournament time when it comes to UNC women’s soccer. For the first time in program history, the Tar Heels finished the regular season in third place in the ACC. Never before had any UNC team received a seeding lower than second in the ACC tournament. And after a lackluster finish to the regular season — losing two of the last four games — people were beginning to doubt whether this North Carolina team had what it took to win the school’s 20th ACC championship. But during their three-game ACC championship run, the Tar Heels got back to playing dominant soccer, just in time for the NCAA tournament. “I would love to pretend that this is all planning, and we’re peaking at the right time,” coach Anson Dorrance said.
The truth is that UNC is finally at full strength after reincorporating senior midfielder Tobin Heath back into the starting lineup after missing 10 days. “There is an enormous difference when Tobin Heath is on the field and when she’s not,” Dorrance said. “I would probably consider her the game’s premier player.” The Tar Heels went 1-2 while Heath was training with the U.S. national team — including back-to-back losses to Miami and Florida State — and struggled to fill the void the dynamic midfielder left. During that three-game stretch, UNC struggled to maintain possession in the midfield and create scoring chances. For the first time all season, UNC was outshot in its 2-3 loss to Florida State. But Heath’s hiatus was not the first time UNC has faced adversity this season. Early in the season, the team lost
starting senior midfielder Nikki Washington to a season-ending ACL injury, and the team lost both Heath and goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris for a week during the middle of the season. Despite defeating Boston College by only one goal in the semifinals, UNC put up its best offensive performance since August, Dorrance said. “Even the games that we beat UCLA, 7-2, and Notre Dame, 6-0, I don’t think we played any better than we did against Boston College,” Dorrance said. Now back at full strength, UNC is quickly building momentum for a run in the NCAA tournament, which starts Friday. “I think this is going to help us carry on into the NCAA tournament,” senior defender Whitney Engen said. “But coming up on the NCAA tournament, every game could be our last, and especially for the seniors, it’s going to be hellbent-for-leather because we want this more than anything.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.
