Thorp chooses 5.2 percent hike Brings proposals within state’s legal limits BY Brian Austin Senior Writer

sports| page 6 READY TO RUMBLE UNC football coach Butch Davis brings a 2-0 record against Miami while leading the Tar Heels into Saturday’s game against the Hurricanes.

vodcast| online BACK AT THE DESK SportSaturday Editor David Reynolds takes on a fencing team member in a spirited match after learning the ropes.

Chancellor Holden Thorp said Thursday he will recommend increasing tuition next year by the smaller of two options he had been considering. That option — a 5.2 percent increase for undergraduate students and 3.7 percent for graduate students — keeps increases for in-state students to the $200 hike set by the N.C. General Assembly, and increases out-of-state students’ tuition accordingly. Out-of-state undergraduates would pay $1,126.68 more for tuition while nonresident graduate students would see their tuition increase $731.98 under the plan. N.C. lawmakers mandated a tuition increase of $200 on all students, then directed that money to the state’s budget.

UNC officials are looking to out-of-state students to replace that lost revenue. The tuition and fee advisory task force recommended two proposals to Thorp on Wednesday: the option he selected as well as a plan to increase tuition for all students by 6.5 percent. Members of the task force indicated their preferences for the higher tuition increase after they had recommended both policies to Thorp, claiming campus funding priorities would not be covered. One day later, Thorp said he would support the lesser increase, siding with Student Body President Jasmin Jones and Student Body Vice President David Bevevino, who were on the task force and were the dissenting votes in favor of the smaller increase.

“I think that in this case the legislature kind of put the $200 out there and we should follow that,” Thorp said. “I think that’s the consensus and that it’ll go smoothly at the Board of Governors.” The UNC-system General Administration told its Board of Governors and chancellors Thursday they were not to increase in-state tuition by more than $200. The General Administration also described a plan to try to retrieve tuition revenue now lost to the state. Thorp acknowledged that the lesser tuition figure would leave some holes in the University’s funding in the future. “If the demand for need-based aid keeps coming up, at some point, we’re going to have to rely on tuition to make up the difference,” Thorp said. The money going to financial aid will

UNC system wants to split $200 increase with state By tarini parti

assistant state & national editor

The UNC-system Board of Governors proposed a plan Thursday to balance the universities’ and state’s needs for additional money while keeping tuition costs down for students. UNC-system President Erskine Bowles also said he does not want campuses to raise in-state tuition by more than the $200 mandated by the legislature. UNC-Chapel Hill’s tuition and fee advisory task force recommended a larger increase Wednesday. “In no case can in-state tuition go higher than $200,” Bowles said. “I’m a low-tuition guy. I don’t think students need to be the primary source of funding.”

The shadow stands only 5-feet 9-inches, yet it encompasses Dustin McCarty all the same. Dax McCarty stayed at North Carolina only two years, a bushel of light brown hair on a scrawny and unimposing body. It’s been four years since he’s been here. But for Dustin, time hasn’t passed so quickly. The shadow has persisted much longer than that. Only now it’s not so overpowering. It doesn’t cause others to turn their heads and whisper about the shadow. Because now Dustin’s casting his own light.

The start Just outside of Orlando, Fla., Dart and Cynthia McCarty raised their two boys, Dax and Dustin. “I was with [Dax] every time [playing soccer],” Dustin said. “He had a serious passion for soccer. He really brought me up and taught me all the fundamentals. I’ve looked up to him my whole life with soccer, and I still do actually.” Dustin looked up to Dax skill-wise as well. During his first two years of high school, Dax earned almost every individual accolade possible, including All-American status and a scholarship to UNC. For two years, Dax delighted fans at Fetzer Field. The fiery midfielder was first-team All-ACC as a sophomore in 2005 and easily one of the top players in the conference. But there would be no encore. Dax decided two seasons was enough and entered the Major League Soccer draft. FC Dallas picked him, and Dax became a pro. But the reverberations of his time in Chapel Hill remained. “The funny thing is that I’ve been pretty much hiding under my brother’s shadow for as long as I can remember,” Dustin said. “I feel like everyone that notices me thinks of me as little Dax and as his little brother.”

‘Walking with giants’ Dustin wanted to play with the big boys. For years, he had accompanied his father to adult leagues and watched. By age 15 he joined a Premier Development League team, a highly competitive amateur soccer league filled with men. “It was a little bit of an intimidation, considering I’m definitely not one of the tallest or strongest,” Dustin said. “I’m walking with giants, but I took it as a challenge.” Dustin struggled with the physical play, but he did excel. And like Dax, Dustin racked up several awards in high school. But he had a sense that what he achieved wasn’t good enough compared to his brother. Dustin had always wanted to go to UNC, but when the Tar Heels didn’t recruit him heavily, he realized that an alternative route might be best and turned to Central Florida’s scholarship offer. The Knights were led by his old club soccer coach, Bryan

Junior midfielder Dustin McCarty transferred to UNC after his older brother, Dax, was a star for the UNC men’s soccer team. This year, McCarty won a starting job at midfielder for the No. 2 Tar Heels heading into the NCAA Tournament.

UNC preps students for future of health care By Lauren Ratcliffe Staff writer

A major health care reform bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Saturday evening. The U.S. Senate is now discussing its own version under immense pressure from the White House. “Every class session, we discuss some aspect of policy and almost always relate the discussion to what’s going on in D.C.,” said Ned Brooks, a clinical associate professor of health policy and management. Peggy Leatt, associate dean for academic affairs at the school, wrote in an e-mail that health policy courses have increased in popularity as a result of the health care debate and the resulting coverage. Enrollment in the health policy and management department has increased almost 18 percent in the past four years. Total enrollment in the school of public health has

Jonathan Oberlander is enjoying his job more than usual — and now he has more people to share it with. “There’s no better time to teach about health policy than fall 2009,” said Oberlander, associate professor of social medicine and health policy and management. “There never has been as exciting a time.” That excitement has translated into increased enrollment for the Department of Health Policy and Management. Students said they’re eager and prepared to work in whatever system emerges from reforms. The national debate over health care reform in U.S. Congress and the White House is a frequent topic of conversation in Gillings School of Global Public Health classrooms.

Jonathan Oberlander incorporates current health care debates into classroom discussions. increased only 5 percent in the same time frame. The school is equipping students with a broad knowledge base. Courses cover an array of topics including finance and law. “What we try to do is provide our students with a skill set and a certain competency so that they will be able to perform effectively in whatever system evolves,” said clinical associate professor Dean Harris. This year, two courses were combined in an effort to give students a holistic view of policy and management.

Brooks, who teaches the newly combined Research Management and Ethics in Health Policy course, said the consolidation is more effective because it broadens the scope of knowledge for students. He said the emphasis is on practical education. “It’s not really ivory tower stuff over here,” Brooks said. “Our goal is to produce graduates who will hit the ground running and make a difference in people’s health.” Jason DePlatchett, a first-year master’s student in the health care administration program, said he feels lucky to be studying health policy now. “It’s kind of fun to be on the front lines,” he said. He added that with any reform, he thinks the job market will grow. “There will be more to manage,” he said. “There will be more

patients. There will be a whole lot more paperwork.” Potential future forms of health care delivery, such as the medical home approach, would increase collaboration between physicians and refocus work on their specific skill sets. The proposed insurance reform bills would increase the number of people with access to doctors. Elise Lockamy, a first-year master’s student in the master of public health program, said although the changes to the field are still unknown, she and others are excited about what is to come. “We are excited to see what things there are for us to do,” Lockamy said. “No matter what reform looks like, we know that there is something for us.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Man sends picture in for wanted ad

From staff and wire reports

British man obviously has some mixed-up priorities. Matthew Maynard, who is on the run from the police, sent in a picture of himself for his own wanted poster. He sent his photo to local media because he disliked the previous mug shot they printed of him as an attempt to get the public’s help in catching Maynard. The 23-year-old man, who is wanted by officers investigating a house burglary, sent in a picture of himself standing beside a police van. The newspaper, South Wales Evening Post, printed the new picture on the front page. The police thanked Maynard by saying, “Everyone in Swansea will know what he looks like now.” NOTED. A Detroit woman pulled a knife on her husband after he threw away her bottle of vodka. Police Lt. Scott Sarvello said the man arrived home from work to find his wife sleeping with a bottle of vodka, which he tossed. The woman woke up, grabbed a knife from the kitchen and threatened him. She had a blood alcohol content of .23 percent when police arrested her Sunday night.

When police responded at about 2 p.m. to a complaint against him, Davis told police he was on campus to work on a job application to The Independent Weekly publication. After nearly 40 minutes of talking with Davis and processing the citation, the DPS officers escorted Davis to the bus stop outside the Student Union. DPS spokesman Randy Young said Davis was arrested Jan. 16, 2008, for breaking and entering into Dey Hall. Young said the incident was automatically followed by a trespassing order. Young added that Davis repeatedly trespassed onto campus after the order was put into effect. “There were at least three incidents in the calendar year 2008,” he said.

Millions of people around the world will have the word “love” written on their forearms in permanent marker today in support of people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. The event, sponsored by To Write Love on Her Arms, attracts many UNC students.

ARMED WITH LOVE

BY Lauren Cloninger STAFF Writer

In support of those struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide, millions of people around the world will have the word “love” emblazoned on their arms today. It’s part of a movement sponsored by the nonprofit organization To Write Love on Her Arms, which has inspired numerous UNC students to participate. Freshman Chloe Snider, who participated in the event last year, said she originally discovered To Write Love on Her Arms through a friend. She really understood the illness after one of her family members was recently diagnosed with depression, she said. “When I was younger, stuff like suicide and depression was really unfamiliar, and I didn’t understand it,” she said. “I’ve even heard others say that depression isn’t a real illness — that it’s just people pouting and complaining about their lives. But it’s real. It’s a real problem.”

Snider also said she is participating to support people who are having a hard time adjusting to college life. “I’ve met some people here who are depressed, especially freshmen,” she said. “But there is always strength in numbers. The more people there are who participate today, the more people who have this problem can be encouraged as they go through hard times.” A fellow UNC student, who is also participating in the event today and asked to remain anonymous, said he has dealt with depression and self-injury. “I would take a knife and cut into my ankle because that’s the only way that people wouldn’t see it,” he said. “When I was watching TV with my family once, the wounds opened up and started bleeding.” The freshman said the main precipitating factor in his stage of self-harm, which lasted for about six months in high school, was his overwhelming depression and insecurity. “The main times it helped were when I was

so depressed I was not able to feel much of anything,” he said. “I was stagnant and numb. It hurts you. It’s damaging, and it’s completely not a good thing to do. But for a moment, it gets you out of that state.” He also said the media influenced his behavior. Eventually, though, he was able to open up to his parents and friends about his struggles, and they have remained supportive. His personal struggles with depression and self-harm influenced him to write love on his arms today. But the main reason he’s participating and letting others know, he said, is to help those struggling right now. “It’s important to show support for the people that are going through that and to let them know that they’re not alone,” he said. “People do it a lot because they need support, though they’re not going about it the right way.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

study creates buzz

Duke researchers promote safe sex By Emily Ellis Staff Writer

Duke University is proving that research can be sexy — by studying how sex toys affect women’s sensual lives. The study, which aims to reduce instances of unprotected sex, has already caused controversy among several of Duke’s religious groups. But campus officials have stood behind the study, citing its possible benefits. “We have a serious problem, and STDs are really on the rise,” said Dan Ariely, a senior fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics and the leader of the study. “People have tried all kinds of stuff. We’ve tried sex education, we’ve tried the pledge and we’ve tried the free condoms, but nothing has seemed to work.” The study recruited female students to participate in “Tupperware” parties where a sales representative brings a variety of items to sell to a group — except the study substitutes sex toys for Tupperware. The toys are for sale at a discounted price, and each participant is compensated with a gift bag. Ariely would not give many details about the content or aim of the research to maintain the reliability of the results. The study has raised some eyebrows about its appropriateness, but Ariely said the study is by no means sensational — it’s science. He said he is still unsure whether it is an effective approach because they aren’t finished with the research. One of the main opponents to the study on Duke’s campus is the Rev. Joe Vetter, the director of the Duke Catholic Center. He declined to comment on the study Wednesday, although he spoke out against the study in earlier reports by WRAL and the (Raleigh) News & Observer. The Christian Action League, an organization headquartered in Raleigh that represents conservative evangelicals, has also expressed concern about the study. The Rev. Mark Creech, the group’s executive director, said his main concern is that the study might contribute to women engaging in “hook-ups” rather than building deep relationships. “It certainly sends a message that the university is endorsing such behavior,” Creech said. “This is not what parents send their children to learn in college.” But Ariely said he was not dissuaded by the criticism from the religious community. “It’s very easy to do a lot of useless science, but when you do things people care about, it becomes much more difficult,” Ariely said. Despite the religious organizations’ opposition and posters recruiting women for the study on campus and on Duke’s Web site, many Duke students are still relatively clueless about the study.

UNC system, Army tout partnership’s potential By Ariel Zirulnick State & National Editor

DTH ONLINE: Read more about the Board of Governors’ committee meetings Thursday.

Czajkowski raised at least A formal partnership between $30,000, finance reports find the UNC system and U.S. Army Medicine and Special Operations Special Operations Command made so much sense to both parties that it seemed silly to delay it. Only a year after Special O p e r a t i o n s C o m m a n d fi r s t approached the UNC system, the two institutions signed an agreement that established the partnership. “This is an event that I personally thought would take much longer to pass,” said Lt. Gen. John Mulholland Jr., commanding general of Special Operations Command,, who brought the idea to the UNCsystem after observing a class at the UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School on military logistics. “Our staff and leaders have slashed through things.” The two have worked together for years, but the system’s administration will now direct Special Operations Command to the campuses with the resources to help them the most. As the state with the fourth-largest military population, meeting the needs of the military means meeting the needs of the state — the mandate of UNC Tomorrow, UNC-system President Erskine Bowles said. - From staff and wire reports.

Matt Czajkowski eclipsed $30,000 in campaign funds, according to the most recent round of finance reports. By Oct. 28, the Town Council member had raised $30,653 for his losing bid in last week’s mayoral race, of which he had spent $25,656. Mayor-elect Mark Kleinschmidt’s reports show he had spent just more than $16,000 of the $18,320 he earned from donations and public grant money. As a participant in the Voter O w n e d E l e c t i o n s Pr o g r a m , Kleinschmidt must return any unspent funds to the town. Town Council race winner Penny Rich, the only other mayoral or council candidate to participate in voter-owned elections, had spent $4,136 of her $4,281, according to her report. Kleinschmidt and Rich’s postelection finance reports are due Nov. 19. They will detail all finance activities from Oct. 29 to Nov. 17.

Command partnership, which provides civilian training to combat medics, was continually held up by speakers as an example of the idea’s potential. “We have only scratched the surface of what is possible,” Bowles said. The partnership will come at no additional cost to central administration, and Special Operations Command will reimburse schools for expenditures on classes, programs and resources. A top priority is collaborating on language instruction. Through the command’s program, soldiers only learn basic comprehension, not the technical competence that comes with an academic course, Mulholland said. “Generals come and go, and chancellors and presidents and boards come and go,” said board Chairwoman Hannah Gage. “This process and relationship will continue. You have the stability so this can become larger.”

The Daily Tar Heel

Sometimes events don’t go as planned. This was the case Thursday when a Youth for Western Civilizationsponsored event on affirmative action turned into an open forum discussion among students, faculty and community members. One audience member even took the stage to fully express an opposing viewpoint. “It didn’t go as we expected, but that’s not a bad thing,” said Daryl Ann Dunigan, vice president of YWC and coordinator of the event. Judson Wood, a first-year law student, asked permission to take the stage and openly debate keynote speaker Mike Adams after

Adams finished his presentation. Although audience members initially showed discontent toward the unexpected debate, they soon sat back to listen to Wood’s arguments in favor of race-based affirmative action. In his speech, Adams expressed his support for socioeconomicbased affirmative action in favor of current policies that favor race. “I didn’t mean to hijack your speech here. I’m just here to speak on affirmative action,” Wood said to Adams. Wood added that he wanted to make sure both sides were being presented. Dunigan said YWC had asked many faculty members to participate as a counterpoint to Adams, but none volunteered. The question-and-answer ses-

sion also allowed for many audience members to relate relevant experiences. The invited speaker, a conservative online columnist and tenured professor at UNC-Wilmington, spoke to an audience of about 40 in the Student Union Auditorium. About 10 police officers were on hand — about the same amount of security present at YWC’s last speaker event in October. “I’m not a racist. I’m an antiracist,” Adams said. “I believe all races can achieve.” Adams said his experiences in higher education have exposed the hidden discriminations made behind closed doors in admission offices. “Affirmative action in higher education rarely gets into the problem

of racial inequality,” Adams said. Dunigan said the event cost $500 and was paid for by the national chapter of YWC. Senior Bryan Weynand, an editor of the Carolina Review, said he really enjoyed the informal atmosphere of the event. “Wood really added a colorful, personal element,” Weynand said. The previous three speakers YWC hosted on campus were met with protests, the first of which resulted in a broken classroom window and national coverage. “I’m so happy you were polite, attentive and didn’t break windows,” Adams said to the audience at the end of his speech.

The five-part dramatic series that begins today includes everything from sexuality and race to incarceration — but all of the shows share a common thread as solo performances. Each of the performances in the series, “Solo Takes On: Divas, Detentions and Diaspora,” is an original work created by its own performer. Michael Kearns, an internationally known actor, will perform “Intimacies,” a work he originally created 20 years ago. Kearns said he wanted to create a response to how HIV and AIDS were being portrayed at the time. “HIV and AIDS were being por-

trayed in artistic terms as a white male, gay disease,” he said. Bothered by the fact that the population of people infected varied greatly from that single group, Kearns developed “Intimacies” to inform his audience that people of all races and sexual orientations could also contract the disease. Kearns considers himself an “artist activist,” as he tries to spread political messages by performing. “When I walk on the stage, it is a political act as well as a theatrical act,” Kearns said. UNC’s Student Health Action Coalition will provide free HIV testing from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday preceding Kearns’ performance. Gregory Ramos, a professor in the department of theater at the

University of Vermont, will perform “Border Stories,” a piece about being both Latino and gay. Ramos said he created the piece based on more than 50 interviews he conducted on the U.S.-Mexico border with people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual. “It seeks to look at the border as a metaphor for construction of identity,” Ramos said. Ashley Lucas, a professor in the Department of Dramatic Art, will be performing “Doin’ Time: Through the Visiting Glass,” a piece about incarceration. While doing research for the piece, Lucas interviewed people who had family in prison and spoke with about 400 prisoners. “I was inspired to write the play

because there are so few places where people with incarcerated loved ones can speak openly about what has happened to them,” she said. Graduate student Kashif Powell will perform “Jena Six,” a piece about race relations in education. Senior Maria Facelli, who goes by Victoria Belle Hegemony, will perform her piece “Hard as Diamonds” as part of the festival. This piece features one person acting out five personalities, and focuses heavily on European drag and the transsexual scene in cabaret form, said Joseph Megel, managing director of performance. Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.

Kearns performs all six roles, adjusting only his body and a red scarf to transform into the different characters. Running at 8 p.m. today and Saturday at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro.

The Lowdown on saturday’s Game No. 12 Miami vs. North Carolina (7-2, 4-2)

Tar Heels to take on Hurricanes by Powell Latimer Sports Editor

Kenan Stadium, 3:30 p.m.

(6-3, 2-3)

HEAD-TO-HEAD UNC rush vs. Miami front seven

Ryan Houston bullied Duke for 166 yards last week. Before you break out the Heisman plug, remember that was against the worst rushing defense in the ACC. Miami won’t be so porous. Edge: Miami

UNC pass vs. Miami secondary

T.J. Yates has been inconsistent, and UNC’s receivers even more so. The offensive line is riddled with injuries and has struggled with protection. Miami’s veteran secondary are licking their chops. Edge: Miami

Miami rush vs. UNC front seven

North Carolina’s run defense has been nothing short of stellar all year. Miami’s leading rusher averages less than 60 yards per game. And Miami’s speedy backs won’t find cutback space with the wet field. Edge: UNC

Miami pass vs. UNC secondary

Jacory Harris is arguably the best quarterback in the ACC, and UNC was torched by FSU’s Christian Ponder. But the Tar Heels and Robert Quinn are clicking after wins against Virginia Tech and Duke. Edge: UNC

So far, nobody’s figured out how to block Johnny White on kickoff coverage. And it can’t hurt to have the family legacy of Casey Barth if UNC needs a gamewinning field goal. Edge: UNC

The Bottom Line — Miami 28, North Carolina 17 Compiled by Powell Latimer

The Daily Tar Heel

In the Butch Davis era, North Carolina has been both good and bad. But one constant remains: The Tar Heels have managed to beat Miami. In 2007, one of the few bright spots of Davis’ 4-8 first-year campaign was a 33-27 win against the Hurricanes at Kenan Stadium. A year later, backup quarterback Cam Sexton led UNC to a 28-24 win in Miami. But if there was ever a year the Hurricanes could buck that trend, it would be 2009. Gone is the quarterback controversy that limited the Hurricanes’ offense last season. Now, sophomore Jacory Harris is one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC, and the Hurricanes (7-2, 4-2 ACC) enter Saturday’s contest against UNC with a No. 12 national ranking. “This is the most athletic team we’ve played this entire season,” Davis said. “They’ve got more overall team speed than anyone we’ve played.” In fact, the Hurricanes’ defense looks much like North Carolina’s: speed all over the field. Miami ranks No. 5 in the ACC in both scoring defense and total

defense, but the Hurricanes’ defense locks down in the red zone. The Hurricanes rank No. 2 in the ACC in red zone defense. They have allowed only 11 touchdowns in 27 opposing red zone possessions. Miami’s defense looks like a less-solid version of UNC’s, but the ‘Canes offense is one of the ACC’s most potent. Harris is yet another prolific quarterback — on the heels of Thaddeus Lewis and Christian Ponder. The Tar Heel defense, despite being one of the nation’s best, has a mixed bag when going against quarterbacks with impressive numbers. Against FSU’s Ponder, North Carolina (6-3, 2-3 ACC) gave up 395 yards of passing offense and three passing touchdowns. But against Duke and Lewis, the Tar Heels were a different team altogether. Lewis threw for just 113 yards and was sacked three times. Defensive end Robert Quinn spent most of the day in the Blue Devil backfield. But Harris is a different animal altogether. He manages a Miami offense that averages 32 points per game — and he leads the ACC in passing efficiency.

dth file/Andrew Dye

North Carolina and coach Butch Davis go up against Miami on Saturday. Davis coached at Miami from 2000-04, and he is 2-0 against the ‘Canes. And beside the obvious challenge to UNC’s defense, the Tar Heels have to deal with yet another injury. Starting running back Shaun Draughn is out for the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury. Against Duke, Ryan Houston took up the slack with 37 carries and 166 yards, but Davis said he

wants another back to step up and take some of the load off Houston. “It certainly is not an enviable task,” Davis said. “It’ll put a challenge to find someone who can come in and deliver the playing time to offset Ryan’s production.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu.

be enough to cover additional students who need more money to cover increased tuition costs, said Shirley Ort, director of scholarships and student aid. UNC will be giving out a smaller proportion of scholarships this year in favor of less expensive loans and other forms of aid. It will probably also face difficulties raising adequate money to retain its faculty, administrators said. “It’s going to make some people’s lives harder no matter how this shakes out,” said Bruce Carney, interim executive vice chancellor and provost. “It won’t be enough to meet our needs.”

Cunningham. The familiarity helped, as did the full scholarship Dustin was offered. Dustin also thought he’d have a good chance to start or play significant minutes. “It taught me a lot of maturity,” he said. “I grew up faster in that one year than I had in my whole life.” But Dustin and Cunningham weren’t on the same page. They had been good friends at the club level, but in college, Cunningham was all business. Dustin began to realize that he didn’t see himself going to a higher level with the program. So Dustin called his father to see about transferring — preferably to UNC. Dart told Dustin he’d get in touch with UNC coach Elmar Bolowich. “(Dustin) made the contact with us about the possibility of a transfer,” Bolowich said. “We looked at his stats and what he had done at Central Florida at the time. There was a renewed interest, and it worked out.” Dustin entered UNC as a sophomore in 2008 — the second McCarty to grace Chapel Hill. “People always tell me, ‘You play like Dax, and you even act like Dax,’” Dustin said. “I hate even going by that. I want to make sure everyone knows that I’m my own player.”

Frustration This wasn’t supposed to be happening to Dustin. During his freshman season at UCF, Dustin had been playing every minute. Now, he was scrapping for just 15 to 20 minutes a game. Dustin’s confidence plummeted. “Sometimes, I felt like I wasn’t doing anything right,” he said. “I would second-guess myself. I felt like I would lower my playing standards, which didn’t help me at all.” He saw action in 16 games but started only two. Bolowich constantly moved Dustin to different positions. One game, Dustin lined up at forward. The next, defender. And at other times, midfielder. Dustin became frustrated that the coaching staff couldn’t find a spot for him. The UNC coaches told Dustin that he was a good player, but his focus was off. At times, Dustin seemed to be going through the motions. His teammates reminded Dustin not to get down. His father said the same. But it was Dax’s advice that Dustin sought most. “My brother would tell me that he went through the same thing when he came here,” Dustin said. “He told me that he would get frustrated as

Administrators say one of their crucial goals now is changing the budget law to retain the $5.3 million that was lost from UNC to the state when the state mandated its tuition increase. Thorp’s tuition proposal will bring about $3.9 million back to campus. Out-of-State Student Association President Ryan Morgan said the lower proposal is a good step, but the best scenario would be all of the increase coming back. “At UNC, we’re united in thinking our money shouldn’t go back to the state,” Morgan said. “Nobody wants to sacrifice the quality of the University for anything.”

Chancellor Holden Thorp plans to recommend a tuition increase of 5.2 percent for all undergraduate students Wednesday. Next the proposals will go to the Board of Trustees, which will vote on whether to approve them.

hell trying to earn that starting spot and trying to get enough playing time. Even though sometimes he thought he was better than the players (starting). In the end, it worked out for him, and he learned a lot.” Dax had struggled. It seemed hard to fathom. Obviously, Dax had created quite the legacy, but to hear of his struggles was something new. Dax’s follow-up season, though, was practically the story of success. Dustin wanted the same.

Making a name During his sophomore season, Dustin’s mind wandered. He’d reflect on a growing social life. School. Work. Family. He’d think about the expectations of following where Dax left off. It was too much. Dustin realized that in order to show any improvement, he had to let go. Stop worrying so much and just focus on soccer. So he did. He trained all offseason before his junior year. Got physically fit through endurance and speed training. Improved his eating habits. No more fast food. He completely cut soda out of his diet. By North Carolina’s sixth game, Dustin was starting as a central midfielder. Granted, the team experienced an abundance of injuries before and after that match, but Dustin was beginning to play a pivotal role — one he still holds. “By the way he’s been playing this year, and I’ve been following him quite a bit, he’s showing people that there’s another McCarty player that’s just as good,” Dax said. Through 16 games, Dustin has contributed two goals and zero assists. But that’s not his role. As UNC goalkeeper Brooks Haggerty said, Dustin is a machine with winning headers. He provides stability and a good tackling presence near the back. And he’s begun to step out from behind Dax’s shadow. Earlier this season, after a 1-0 loss to Maryland, the Terrapins’ coach came over to talk to Dustin.

Dustin McCarty wins a header against Virginia in an overtime 1-0 win against the Cavaliers on Oct. 2. McCarty’s prowess in the air earned him a starting spot for the No. 2 Tar Heels midway through this season. “He stayed me with a lengthier “But,” he added, “that would time, and it seemed like he walked definitely make my day.” up to me instead of me walking up to him,” Dustin said. Contact the Sports Editor “He was giving me compliments at sports@unc.edu. and compliments and didn’t even mention my brother at all.” Not many people do these days. In fact, friends have recently referred to Dax as Dustin’s brother. “That is definitely a stretch,” Dustin said.

Bowles’ plan would allow universities to draw money back from the tuition hike already instituted by the state legislature instead of further increasing tuition. The N.C. General Assembly mandated in the budget passed this summer a tuition increase by the lesser of $200 or 8 percent for all students. The revenue from that tuition increase goes to the state’s general fund, rather than going directly to the system. “Students are paying more and we are not getting quality improvements,” said John Davis III, chairman of the board’s budget and finance committee. Bowles said he will lobby legislators to allow universities to keep at least 50 percent of the revenue generated by money now lost to the state. Those funds would help make up for the $12 million less in needbased financial aid the UNC system received this year. Bowles said he wants the other half of the funds to go toward improving retention and graduation rates.

National and World News Obama ordered review of Hasan

US Army psychiatrist faces charges of premeditated murder of soldiers

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — President Barack Obama has ordered a high-level review of how U.S. officials handled warning signs that might have pointed to the eventual killing spree at Fort Hood, Texas, allegedly by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. Obama ordered John Brennan, his adviser on homeland security and counterterrorism, to find out what various federal agencies knew about Hasan, how they treated the information and whether they shared it with other agencies. He also told the Defense Department, the FBI and the director of national intelligence last Friday to turn over all files on Hasan to Brennan and that he wanted a preliminary report by Nov. 30. He issued the order the day after Hasan allegedly shot 55 people at the Army base, killing 13 of them. The Army charged Hasan with 13 counts of premeditated murder.

White House to hold jobs forum

US, Japan make Program to help anti-nuclear plans public education

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — President Barack Obama will host a White House forum in December about creating jobs and growing the economy, he said Thursday, amid signs that the economy is improving but job growth is lagging. Obama said the meeting would include chief executives of corporations, labor leaders, economists and others, “to talk about how we can work together to create jobs and get this economy moving again.” Obama spoke after the Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims dropped by 12,000 in the latest week to 502,000, the fewest initial claims since early January. He called the report a “hopeful sign,” but said it’s not enough. “The economic growth that we’ve seen has not yet led to the job growth that we desperately need,” Obama said at the White House just before departing for a trip to Asian countries.

TOKYO (MCT) — Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and President Barack Obama will agree at their talks Friday to make joint efforts to realize a nuclear weapons-free world. A communique they will issue will announce a plan to hold a meeting of Asian nations in Tokyo in January to prepare for the Global Nuclear Security Summit to be held in the United States in March. The communique will welcome the growing global movement toward nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament, stating that the United States, as the nation leading the movement, and Japan, as the only atom-bombed country, will work together to realize the abolition of nuclear weapons. In the communique, Japan and the United States also will announce that they will work in close cooperation for the success of the Global Nuclear Security Summit.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — Education Secretary Arne Duncan issued rules Thursday for a $4 billion grant program to promote innovation in education, allaying fears from some education groups that it would be too focused on testing. The “Race to the Top” program aims at encouraging states to do a better job of assessing and tracking student performance as well as hiring and keeping highquality teachers. Qualifying states, depending on their size, could receive as much as $700 million to help achieve those goals and revitalize failing schools. “‘Race to the Top’ is absolutely a competition,” the secretary said when announcing the start of applications for the program, which is funded by the stimulus bill signed into law in February. “We’re trying to reward excellence.” States seeking funds will be assessed on many criteria.

“I’m not sure what the study is actually looking at,” said Duke sophomore Angelica Ahrens. “But to be honest, I’m not sure it’s something I would be interested in.” Others who saw the ads didn’t seem too shocked by them. “It doesn’t bother me that they’re doing it,” said senior Brittany Duck. “I think it’s actually kind of cool.” Ariely said the sensational nature of the media coverage so far has made him concerned that the study’s results could be tainted by people misunderstanding it. “We were going to finish by December,” he said. “Now these people come and they don’t really know what the study is about.”

request could not be used the same way in a federal case. “They would have to show discrimination in their particular case, individualized without the use of statistics,” said Durham criminal defense lawyer Jay Ferguson. Davis would not comment on the request for information. But because the request is specific to the Middle District, it could be useful in the case if it revealed racial bias on the part of one decision maker, Ferguson said. In considering whether to pursue the death penalty, the race of the victim tends to have more bearing statistically than the race of the defendant, according to data from the Death Penalty Information Contact the State & National Center, a national group that tracks Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. the death penalty by state.

In cases since 1976 in which one person is executed for murdering someone of another race, 15 executions involve a white defendant with a black victim and 243 involve a black defendant and a white victim. “It raises questions about the arbitrariness of the death penalty and how we value one life over others and one life over hundreds of others,” said Stephen Dear, executive director of People of Faith Against the Death Penalty, based in Carrboro. Authorities say Atwater, 23, and Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 18, took Carson from her home to an ATM, forcing her to withdraw $1,400 and they shot her five times in a neighborhood off East Franklin Street. Lovette was 17 at the time of the crime and therefore is not eligible to receive the death penalty. Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.

Abortion funding should be covered

aturday, the House passed a health care reform bill with a stipulation that no federal money can be used to pay for abortions. An amendment would ban coverage of abortions for those who enroll in a new governmentfunded insurance plan and those who qualify for government subsidies to buy private policies. Abortion coverage would be allowed in cases of rape or incest and to save a woman’s life. Women can choose to buy a separate abortion coverage plan using their own money. Why should my hard-earned tax dollars pay for some other woman’s abortion? Because I support a woman’s right to choose. Because I trust women of all ages, races, nationalities, sexual orientations and socioeconomic statuses to make the decision that is best for them, their families and their circumstances. Because a woman shouldn’t be denied a legal health procedure because she can’t pay for it. (An abortion can cost anywhere from $350 to $900 in the first trimester, not including complications.) Because pregnancy should not be a threat or a punishment for being sexual. Because a pregnancy should not be something to fear. Because the seriousness of choosing to have a child or not cannot be decided by splitting hairs on the floor of Congress. Because even though the government health plan covers abortions of pregnancies resulting from rape, what if the attacker is my husband? Because a woman is more than a vessel for children and a man is more than a sower of them. Because abortion isn’t always the answer. Because I want a doctor who can concentrate on my needs, rather than regulations or a pay plan. Because programs that provide important health services for women should not be restricted simply because they give women all their options for family planning, including abortion. Because many women are sexually active. Because you are a sexually active woman. Or might be in the future. Because accidents happen — condoms break, pills are forgotten — but they don’t have to define a person forever. Because you have had an abortion. Or thought about it. Or know someone who has. Because abortions are more common than you think. (Planned Parenthood says one in three women have an abortion by the time they are 45 years old.) Because abortions should not be secret, and pregnancies should not be shameful. Because I value women’s lives; if someone chooses this procedure, I want it done safely, with both her physical and mental health as a top concern and in the best hands. Because I value women’s potential and their futures — in careers, in families — and want them to have every opportunity to reach them in their own way, on their own time, and on their own terms.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Out-of-state students’ elitist reputation unfair

Go low and legal on tuition Chancellor Thorp should favor proposal that treats students equally regardless of residency status

f the two proposals the tuition and fee advisory task force recommended to Chancellor Holden Thorp, there is only one clear (and legal) choice: an acrossthe-board 5.2 percent increase for undergraduate students and 3.7 percent increase for graduate students — regardless of residency. We commend Student Body President Jasmin Jones and Student Body Vice President David Bevevino for accurately and fairly representing UNC students’ voices during the process of creating a tuition recommendation. These two were the lone voices in favor of the 5.2 percent proposal. But the rest of the task force doesn’t get off scot-free. Supported by the remainder of the task force, the second

proposal includes a 6.5 percent increase across the board for undergraduate students. That recommendation is illegal according to current state law. The 6.5 percent increase for in-state students would amount to $251. But during its last session, the N.C. General Assembly mandated that tuition for residents could not be increased more than $200 — which amounts to a 5.2 percent hike. That revenue will go directly to the state. And nonresidents will have to pay the unfair $200 tuition tax as well. But there is no guarantee that their tuition will be kept low. An effort to get the General Assembly to allow a 6.5 percent increase would take a major lobbying initiative when the

legislature convenes in May 2010 — after students have already left for the summer. And keep in mind, a desperate General Assembly is unlikely to return the funds from the tuition tax, but no one knows if state representatives would vote to allow another $51 increase. If the measure fails, nonresidents would suffer a higher percentage increase, and as the Editorial Board has previously opined, they would bear more than their fair share of the budget crisis burden. This is unacceptable. A 5.2 percent increase for all is the only fair and reasonable suggestion. And Chancellor Holden Thorp agrees; he has indicated support for the lower proposal. Let’s hope he sticks to his word this time.

N.C. General Assembly should look to update state’s tax code to reﬂect service-based economy

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Funding compromise on SDS speakers was fair TO THE EDITOR: The baseless accusations leveled against opponents of the funding for the Students for a Democratic Society speakers by Julia Etter (“Student Congress’ enmity towards SDS unwarranted,” Nov. 12) necessarily dispensed with the facts surrounding the debate. First, the organizer of the protest is a member of the Democratic Party — not exactly one of the major constituencies of Carolina Review. Second, not all members of Carolina Review who serve in Congress voted against the appropriation, and congressmen who are not affiliated with Carolina Review did vote against the appropriation. The request was heavily scrutinized because when groups request funds to bring speakers to campus, the finance committee is provided with background information on their experience and a basic resume. This information was not pro-

rently taxed. A joint N.C. House and Senate finance committee convened earlier this month to discuss the issue. Although no bill was proposed, the General Assembly is nevertheless headed in the right direction. The proposed tax changes came about as legislators have struggled to balance the state’s $4.6 billion shortfall. Furthermore, if the tax base is broadened, taxes could be cut across the board. “We have high rates now because we tax ver y few things,” Sen. Daniel Clodfelter, D-Mecklenburg, told The

Daily Tar Heel. He strongly supported taxing services this summer. Some argue that remodeling the tax structure in the middle of economic recession could worsen the situation. But the state has had to make heavy budget cuts that affect everybody, especially people attending the University. In these difficult times, drastic measures must be taken in order to ensure that the state obtains the necessary revenue to fund basic services. The legislature should draft a bill that moves this plan into action.

vided by SDS. Does Ms. Etter wish the finance committee and Student Congress not to do due diligence before appropriating thousands of dollars of students’ money? The information that we could gather from searches on the Internet revealed that the three requested speakers were students at UNC-Asheville and members of the Asheville SDS. The reason why they deserved an honorarium was based on a two-month stay in Colombia. We have students at UNC who have stayed longer in Colombia and could speak without a $667 honorarium. When the SDS was queried as to the validity of this information, it was not refuted. Congress has appropriated money to bring Stephen Moore (contributing editor of National Review) and Nadine Strossen (former head of the ACLU) to campus, certainly of a higher caliber than students from UNCAsheville.

A taxing problem he N.C. General Assembly should continue to look into broadening the state’s tax base to include more service-oriented businesses. The state has not had a major change to its tax code since the Great Depression. However, the commercial landscape of the state has changed considerably, moving from a more manufacturingbased economy to a serviceoriented one. Only 30 out of the state’s 168 services are taxed. Taxes should be broadened to include accounting and legal services, which are not cur-

TO THE EDITOR: I think I can safely say that out-of-state students do not inherently think themselves above in-state ones. The thought had honestly never entered my mind until earlier this year when quotes started running in The Daily Tar Heel from in-state students to this effect. I incorrectly thought that I came to UNC from California to get a top-notch education and to collaborate with some of the greatest academic minds in the country. Obviously this was incorrect because according to my fellow Tar Heels, my main motivation was my wish to be able to smugly walk into class and spend the entire time lording my “extra 43 points” on the SAT over my peers. I love my home state, but I wanted to be a Tar Heel more than anything, and that’s why I’m here, and that’s why I am already facing years of repaying student loans to remain here. I welcome free and fair discussion of the tuition hikes, but please stop constantly attacking out-of-state students as if we’re some alien group of elitist monsters. You’re already taking my money. You’re not entitled to my dignity as well.

TO THE EDITOR: I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction with the University’s treatment of December graduates. Though fall Commencement is a comparable ceremony to its May counterpart, December graduates like myself are being denied departmental ceremonies and/or receptions. I feel disrespected to learn that my department does not deem a reception or other ceremony necessary. My tuition and student fees are the same as those of May graduates, as is the quality of the work and time I’ve put into my degree. To deny my fellow December graduates and me the recognition of even a room of chairs with a punch bowl is disrespectful to us, and to our families who will be here to support us next month.

TO THE EDITOR: This is your chance to take a stand for the patients and families of N.C. Children’s Hospital. The UNC Dance Marathon will be hosting its 12th annual marathon Feb. 19-20, 2010. This week you can sign up to be a dancer. Due to capacity limits in Fetzer Gym, there is a cap on the number of dancers this year, so don’t wait to sign up and join the cause. Being a dancer means pledging to raise at least $150 to benefit the patients and families of N.C Children’s Hospital. To be a dancer means pledging to stand for 24 hours straight. To dance is to change someone’s life. To dance is to endure pain for something that is bigger than you. To dance is to improve the quality of life for patients and families. To dance is to find strength in yourself, in UNC students and in our community. To dance is to show you care. To dance is to make a commitment for the kids. These families are worth taking a stand for. These funds are worth raising because every penny goes such a long way in improving lives. I will never forget standing at the marathon, aching but feeling so moved and inspired by the families attesting to the difference we were making by standing for 24 hours and taking the time to raise money and to show that we care. Don’t wait to join this cause. Sign up to dance online at uncmarathon.org. Now! Taylor Scott Overall Coordinator 2010 UNC Dance Marathon
