Remember to always blow on the pie

From staff and wire reports

ou might see a T-shirt that says “always blow on the pie” around soon after the footage from one strange New Zealand encounter has become an Internet hit. Officer Guy Baldwin asked a teenager why he was out late at night driving a suspected stolen car. The teen said that he was going to buy a pie or something at the gas station. Baldwin replies: “It’s three o’clock in the morning and you’re buying a pie from the BP station, what must you always do? At three o’clock in the morning that pie has been in the warming draw for probably about 12 hours; it’ll be thermo-nuclear. You must always blow on the pie. … Always blow on the pie. Safer communities together, OK?”

Smith death H1N1 STILL POSES THREAT leaves many questions By COLLEEN Volz STAFF WRITER

By Andrew Harrell

Police have said they believed junior Courtland Smith was armed when they shot him.

Assistant University editor

The death of junior Courtland Smith in August resulted in more than three months of questions about what led to police shooting him 40 minutes from Chapel Hill. A report released Friday by Randolph County District Attorney Garland Yates provides many details into Smith’s interaction with the two Archdale police officers. In the release, Yates also said he found officer Jeremy Paul Flinchum was justified in shooting Smith because Flinchum believed his and another officer’s life to be endangered. Some questions still remain, including why Smith was 40 minutes from Chapel Hill and why Smith’s autopsy report was amended to remove details that the district attorney’s statement confirmed. Just after 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, Flinchum and officer Chris Jones, in separate patrol cars, pulled over Smith’s vehicle on I-85 South near Greensboro, the release states. Archdale Police Department Communications, who spoke with Smith when he called 911 about 15 minutes earlier, had notified the officers that Smith was possibly suicidal, intoxicated and armed with a 9 mm handgun. Smith exited his car, and both officers drew their pistols. They gave Smith repeated directions to get back in the car and show his hands as Smith walked toward

the officers with one or both of his hands behind his back. “At one point the officers warned Mr. Smith that because of his actions he was about to get shot,” Yates said in the release. Smith walked backward to his car and leaned into the driver’s side. As Smith once again advanced on the officers with his hands concealed, Jones and Flinchum retreated back to Flinchum’s car, attempting to tell Smith “to not do anything stupid, and that they just wanted to talk to him and help him,” the release states. When Smith quickly drew his right hand from behind his back, holding a black object and standing 10 feet away from the officers, Flinchum fired five shots. Four shots hit Smith. Smith was not armed, despite his earlier comments to a 911 dispatcher that he had a gun. Authorities found a black BlackBerry phone next to the location where he was shot, the release states. The report also notes a half-

2009: The year of the swine. Prevention has been one of the key goals of UNC Campus Health Services in dealing with the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu. Health officials hope those precautions will be enough when students return next semester. During fall 2009, Campus Health advertised various preventative measures, provided vaccinations and free flu kits, and suggested students selfquarantine when symptoms arise. Mary Beth Koza, director of UNC’s department of environment, health and safety, said the University has done an excellent job in handling the challenges surrounding the virus. “We’ve set a great example for other universities,” she said. She said UNC had to improvise and plan ahead in order to deal with the virus. She added that when the Centers for Disease Control released recommendations for college campuses during the late summer months, they aligned with the plans UNC had already put in place. But despite precautions, the University is not yet in the clear. Koza said UNC might experience a third wave of swine flu at the end of January. She added that vaccinations will be a top priority. “Right now, only about 6,000 people have been vaccinated for the H1N1,” Koza said. “If you look at our population, that’s not too good.” UNC ordered 28,000 vaccines for students, staff members, faculty members and hospital patients. Not all the vaccines have arrived. The normal influenza shot won’t necessarily protect against H1N1. Campus Health offers H1N1 vaccines to uninsured students for $12, and for free to those with certain providers.

Pharmacist Lisa Adams Padgett administers the H1N1 vaccine to Beverly Dickinson at Kerr Drug in November. Children, senior citizens and pregnant women had priority to get the shot because of limited supplies.

A spreading virus The H1N1 virus surfaced during spring 2009 in what was termed the first wave of the outbreak. The first recorded case of the virus at UNC was reported at Campus Health Services on May 29. The second wave peaked highest on campus at the beginning of September, with Campus Health Services recording 343 cases during the week of Aug. 30. The statewide peak came later — late September to early October, said Carol Schriber, public information officer for the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.

The numbers have since declined as people develop immunities to the virus and make preventative measures a habit, Schriber said. On Sept. 14, administrators announced that students no longer had to give their professors written excuse notes from Campus Health if they thought they might be infected with the virus. The state received its first shipment of vaccines on Sept. 30 and has received about two million to date, Schriber said. UNC received its first shipment of doses Oct. 28. The first 3,800 vaccines were distributed to the most at-risk populations. The vaccines are now available

to anyone interested. Administrators have been surprised by the low demand for the vaccines on campus. As of Dec. 4, just more than 20 percent of the vaccines ordered had been administered to the University population. All estimates are based on of the number of patients reporting flu-like symptoms. Patients who report flulike symptoms to Campus Health are told to take the precautions as if they had the H1N1 virus. Staff writer Estes Gould contributed reporting.

UNC deals with state budget cuts Tuition increases BY Lyle Kendrick Staff Writer

During a year of economic turmoil, severe cuts to UNC’s budget have caused the University to make ends meet with alternate funding sources. Cuts to state appropriations, which make up about a quarter of UNC’s total budget, reached as much as 11 percent last fiscal year and caused many areas of the University to cut financial corners. The resulting budget gap was about $171 million. But federal aid, private sources and planning have helped the University avoid a noticeable difference in the quality of academic instruction — a problem many of its peer universities couldn’t avoid. That outside aid will continue to help as state legislators begin crafting another potentially bleak budget for the 2010-11 fiscal year. In November 2008, about a month after the economy began its slide, the University issued a one-time 5 percent reduction in preparation for further cuts. Those cuts affected the budget until July 2009, and administrators were not sure if they would carry over to the next year. It was the state budget, finalized in August, that cut about 11 percent from UNC’s budget — a combination of a 7 percent cut in the actual law, and the governor’s decision to withhold 5 percent of every state agency’s budget in case revenues fell short. The UNC system requested $3 billion, a request already far less than normal, and received $2.7 billion. Funding for enrollment growth, need-based aid and faculty recruitment and retention were prioritized. No new funding was allotted for campus safety or increasing the

competitiveness of faculty salaries. However, UNC-system Board of Governors members and administrators said they were relieved they got what they did. “More money could have been allotted, but it’s a matter of moving money around,” said budget and finance committee chairman John Davis in August. UNC-system General Administration told campuses to focus 75 to 85 percent of their cuts on administrative costs. About 96 percent of the cuts — about 900 jobs — fell there, said Board of Governors chairwoman Hannah Gage. UNC focused on keeping the cuts away from academics to protect students, said Roger Patterson, associate vice chancellor for finance, an approach that would continue throughout the next year of reductions. “We took disproportionate cuts from any area that was not directly involved in instruction,” Patterson said. These areas include research centers and institutes and University administration. “(The budget) nibbles around the edges and affects some of the support activities we do,” said Dick Mann, vice chancellor for finance and administration.

Outside sources As of the summer, 100 filled and 200 unfilled UNC positions were cut or reduced as a result of the shrinking budget. Despite concerns of further layoffs, a combination of private donations and planning have allowed for the University to begin the process of hiring more than 60 new faculty members, a reverse from the previous year when hiring was frozen.

Stimulus money generated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has helped reduce the impact of cuts on campus research. Between this financial year and next year, the University will have received a total of about $130 million in the form of research grants from the stimulus package, said Tony Waldrop, vice chancellor for research and economic development. “It has provided additional funding for research, so projects that would not have been able to be done otherwise are now able to take place,” Waldrop said. Grants will contribute to 130 research staff members being retained or hired.

Relationship with the state Dwayne Pinkney, the chancellor’s assistant for state and local relations, said the University’s relationship with the state has not changed. The state and University alike are aware that revenues are not nearly as available as they were five years ago, Pinkney said. “We recognize the legislature made some tough decisions that at the end of the day were supportive of the University, even if we had to take some significant budget cuts,” he said. He added he believes the legislature will continue to fund need-

A government-run public insurance option that would compete with private plans was included in the House bill. Democratic senators announced Tuesday that they had reached an agreement to drop the public option from the Senate bill.

Abortion funding

How to regulate coverage of abortion has been a controversial issue in overhaul debates. The House bill would block the public insurance plan from covering abortions and ban insurers from covering elective abortions for anyone receiving federal subsidies. Legislators split on this provision, with some claiming it unfairly restricts women’s reproductive rights and others calling for a ban on all abortion coverage. The Senate version would require insurers to keep federal subsidies and private premi-

ums separate and fund abortions only from the private funds. Abortion-rights activists say this is a compromise, but opponents want the House language included in the final bill.

Employer mandate

The House bill requires employers to provide insurance for employees or face penalties. The Senate bill imposes fines on larger businesses that don’t offer insurance.

Overhaul funding

A 5 percent surtax on individual incomes above $500,000 or $1 million for couples would pay for the House bill. The Senate bill raises Medicare payroll takes by half a percentage point and levies a 40 percent tax on insurers providing “Cadillac” plans — policies worth more than $8,500 for individuals and $23,000 for families.

The tuition increase proposal Chancellor Holden Thorp sent to UNC-system President Erskine Bowles might leave campus with financial difficulties. But administrators said it is a show of commitment to higher education access and a history of low cost compared to peer schools. In the face of rising costs of educating students and decreased state funds, administrators were faced with a choice: raise tuition as a means of filling a growing budget deficit or keep costs low with students in mind. They took a middle road that raised undergraduates’ tuition by 5.2 percent for the 2010-11 academic year, the lower of two proposals they considered. Out-of-state graduate student tuition increased by 3.7 percent, except for departments that already had increases approved by the Board of Governors. In-state graduate students, like undergraduates, will see their tuition increase by $200, as mandated by state law. Administrators cited concern for affordability in their decision, but many have said the lower increase will present a serious financial challenge for the University. Several members of the Board of Trustees — which passed the tuition proposal in November — said they foresee a necessary shift away from the University’s low tuition model in the future if UNC is to remain competitive with other top public universities. Most of UNC’s peer group of top public research universities charge much higher tuition rates. “I am really, really concerned about what we’re doing with tuition,” said John Ellison, who has served as a trustee since 2003, at November’s meeting. “There is a huge disparity between our tuition and that of our peers. It’s getting wider and wider.” UNC has been able to keep its tuition low because it derives a much larger share of its budget from state appropriations than its peer schools. Administrators and faculty mem-

Tuition at a glance If approved by UNC-system President Erskine Bowles, the system’s Board of Governors and the state legislature, the proposal would increase tuition for all residents, both graduate and undergraduate students, by $200. For nonresident students, undergraduate tuition would increase by $1,127. Tuition for graduate students would go up $732, except for those in departments that already had increases set. bers on the tuition and fee advisory task force, the body in which the proposal originated, had strongly suggested raising tuition at a greater percentage increase for out-ofstate students at the meeting. But this proposal proved unpopular with students, who demanded equal percentage increases for all undergraduates. Student Body President Jasmin Jones and Vice President David Bevevino, the two undergraduates on the task force, advocated for equal, lower percentage increases, a proposal Thorp eventually adopted. “I did appreciate the fact that student leaders stood up for us in there,” said freshman Nicole Pradel, who attended that task force meeting. Administrators have approved a one-time earmark of 50 percent of the revenue gained from tuition increases to financial aid, an area that has seen increased demand in the economic downturn. The University saw a 23 percent increase in the number of students qualifying for aid this year. There was also a dramatic increase in the number of students who submitted financial aid applications. “It was unlike any other year we’ve ever had,” said Shirley Ort, director of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid, in November. Ort has indicated that if her office does not receive enough funding from tuition increases, the University will have to distribute

Greek system gets a closer look By Brian Austin Senior Writer

After the death of a major leader within the fraternity system at the start of the school year and several public arrests associated with drug use, the Greek system at UNC has fostered a conversation about its role on campus. That conversation will continue next year as Greek leaders continue to struggle to communicate with campus officials on ways to improve life for the 16 percent of students who are in fraternities and sororities. Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity President Courtland Smith was killed by police after driving away from campus and leaving a party at his fraternity. Administrators, including

Chancellor Holden Thorp used the party as an opportunity to re-examine the need for support of the Greek system — as well as the role that alcohol and drugs play in college. “I think we’ve had more conversation about alcohol and drugs and leadership on this campus than we have in a long time,” said Winston Crisp, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs. “I think that’s all ultimately positive.” While Crisp said there have been improvements in the relationship between the school and student leaders, the semester was marked by high-profile arrests of students for cocaine trafficking and possession, several of whom had been involved in Greek life. Jonathan Ray Plymale and Eliza McQuail Vaughan, who both went

to UNC, were arrested Sept. 15 and charged with trafficking and possession with the intent to distribute cocaine. More than 121 grams of cocaine were found in a fraternity court house associated with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Seven people in all were charged in connection with the bust. Plymale’s next court date is Friday. Crisp took fraternity members to task earlier in the semester, saying their behavior had been unacceptable, though he pointed out later that many of the same problems are widespread on campus. “None of these issues is necessarily confined to the Greek community,” Crisp said, listing drug and alcohol abuse as well as hazing as problems for college students generally, not

just those in the Greek system. As UNC’s administration tried to deal with systemic problems, Delta Kappa Epsilon struggled to find ways to fill the void left by Smith’s death. With little leadership structure, the fraternity committed policy violations while under investigation from the earlier party. The Greek Judicial Board, the system’s student governance body, imposed a series of penalties on the organization, which fell on top of the fraternity’s self-imposed sanctions and a wider-ranging review that the fraternity is currently contesting. “We were definitely made an example of,” said Patrick Fleming the fraternity’s current president and a member of The Daily Tar Heel’s Editorial Board. “My feeling after Courtland died

was that the administration did nothing to reach out to us,” he said. “They were very reactive and very touchy about the situation.” Fleming said he found the administration frustrating to work with, and said they have failed to fulfill some of their earlier promises of support for the fraternity. He pointed specifically to Jenny Levering, assistant dean of students for fraternity and sorority life. He said when she visited the fraternity house to tell them of Smith’s death, she brought along a camera to take photos of incriminating red cups in the fraternity’s yard. Levering could not be reached for comment on Monday. Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.

Other schools model UNC and hire Bain By Kevin Kiley And tarini parti Senior Writers

Last year, University officials turned heads with their decision to hire Bain & Company, a global business consulting firm, to evaluate its managerial efficiency. Now, universities nationwide are following UNC’s example by hiring consultants to help deal with administrative organization and unprecedented budget deficits. Bain concluded its study at UNC this summer — funded through an anonymous donation — and found that the University’s decentralized organization hinders the school’s ability to conduct most tasks efficiently, including everything from purchasing and human resources to scheduling classroom space. Bain’s recommendations could save the University up to $161 million a year, though administrators have said they likely will not implement all of the company’s recommendations. In the wake of the report UNC created a task force, headed by chemistry professor and former Faculty Council Chairman Joe Templeton, to determine how to implement the

consulting firm’s proposals. The implementation committee has taken on the name “Carolina Counts” to focus the effort less on the report and more on the campus. Few changes have actually been implemented in the months since the report, and administrators are still working to figure out exactly what should be done, a process that might take some time. Bain’s work at UNC prompted Cornell University and University of California, Berkeley to also hire Bain in hopes of generating similar savings. Berkeley faced strong opposition from faculty and students, who disagreed with the cost of the study — $3 million — in light of deep cuts and widespread layoffs. UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said the trend of universities hiring external consulting firms could change higher education. “What we’re seeing now is great universities of America figuring out that we need to change the way we do business and not just tinker around the edges,” he said.

more financial aid in the form of loans and work-study than grants, which is money that does not need to be paid back. Ort said the office needs about $13 million this year to keep grants at the same level. Tuition increases will also fund graduate student aid, student services and faculty retention — all priorities that administrators have said might be hard to fund under the 5.2 percent increase. N.C. lawmakers mandated an increase of $200 on all students, then directed that to the state’s budget. Tuition increases historically have stayed within the University. Bowles said he will lobby the legislature to give back at least 50 percent of the revenue generated by the $200 increase. Those funds would help make up for the $12 million less in need-based financial aid the UNC system received this year. The $200 from every student at UNC-CH totals about $5.3 million. Each UNC-system school’s tuition proposal is expected to be submitted to General Administration by Dec. 18. Bowles and UNC-system Vice President for Finance Rob Nelson will then review the proposals. The UNC-system Board of Governors, the last stop before the state legislature, will review the proposals in January and reach a decision in February. Tuition rates will not be finalized until approved by N.C. General Assembly, meaning that students might not know the cost of tuition until well into the summer.

Chief Medical Examiner John Butts revised Smith’s autopsy report after meeting with Smith’s parents, who had raised concerns over the accuracy, source and inclusion of some details. Butts crossed out mentions of Smith talking to friends about suicide, as well as the cause of death and medical history. But Friday’s release said Smith had sent an e-mail to his family on the night he was killed indicating suicidal thoughts.

A representative for Butts said Friday he had no comment on the changes. Smith was last reported seen in Chapel Hill at about 12:30 a.m. at a Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity house party. The party prompted UNC to re-examine its relationship with Greek life and led to several sanctions on the chapter. Smith, 21, was a biology major from Houston. He was a passionate white-water kayaker and president of DKE. His fraternity brothers are contributing to a Habitat for Humanity house in his memory.

peers: UC-Berkeley and UCLA. The N.C. General Assembly will begin discussing the next state budget in the spring and will make a decision by the end of the summer. Administrators are not sure whether the economy will start to recover by then or if UNC will have to face even deeper cuts. “We’re not in a vacuum until July, we can see what they’re kicking around in both houses,” Patterson said. “Their discussion starts from

a wide range and narrows down to a final budget.” Mann said the University is preparing for several outcomes. “We’re not sure what the final decisions are going to be,” said Mann. “We have to be prepared to go in either direction.”

‘Nickleby’ premieres at UNC Anoop By Gavin Hackeling Staff Writer

PlayMakers Repertory Company’s fall production of Charles Dickens’ serial novel “Nicholas Nickleby,” was an epic undertaking requiring 25 actors to perform more than 150 roles. A performance that required extensive work both onstage and behind the scenes, “Nicholas Nickleby” was divided into two parts that were performed in rotation, running nearly seven hours combined. “In our culture there’s a return to long storytelling after the sound bite,” said Ray Dooley, who played Nicholas’ antagonistic Uncle Ralph, in a November interview. “That’s the attraction of ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lost.’” Despite the play’s length, the story of “Nicholas Nickleby” is simple. “It’s about a family that loses everything,” said Tom Quaintance,

co-director of the play, in a November interview. “Nicholas is charged with finding a way in a world where the economy is pitiless.” Much of the play is spent exploring personalities of characters and multiple settings. “It’s less about the plot than the story’s tapestry as Nicholas travels through worlds,” said Joseph Haj, who directed the play with Quaintance, in a November interview. While the length of the novel created logistical challenges for the production, it also provided creative license for the performers. Unlike “A Christmas Carol” or other works by Dickens, “Nicholas Nickleby” has not been performed courtesy of playmakers extensively, granting the artists greater creative control of their Jeffrey Blair Cornell gets fitted characters. for his part in “Nicholas Nickleby,” Theatergoers responded enthu- which included 25 actors playing siastically to PlayMakers’ efforts in more than 150 roles. with more than 15,000 tickets for “Nicholas Nickleby” already sold by 25 Actors Dec. 3.

Desai continues musical career pursuits By Lindsay Saladino Staff Writer

Former UNC Clef Hanger Anoop Desai launched his musical career in 2009, making his way to the Top 7 on American Idol and touring the country. With a “yes” from all four American Idol judges and a “Welcome to Hollywood,” Desai’s summer 2008 audition in Kansas City started his journey with the show. This first step began Desai’s rise to fame during the past year.

Time at UNC During Desai’s years as an undergraduate at UNC, he was committed to the Clef Hangers, the University’s oldest all-male a cappella group. The Clef Hangers perform several shows on campus every year. Desai was president of the group his senior year. “As a friend, Anoop is one of the most down to earth and loyal friends you could have,” said Andrew Simpson, music director of the Clef Hangers.

Don’t buy in to the hype on tuition

bonfires on Franklin street, oct. 7

Kvetching Board: The semester’s best

e’ve heard more about budgets, shortfalls and cuts this year than in any other of our lives. At UNC, the losses have been real. Scores of University staff members have lost their jobs as departments have cut back. All told, the University got about $40 million less than it had planned from the state last year. About $67 million was cut back for the coming year. Administrators have argued that tuition increases are necessary to maintain the University’s academic quality. Members of the tuition and fee advisory task force began their meetings this year with the assumption that a tuition increase was vital to move the University forward. Without a maxed-out tuition increase, the University won’t be able to properly give financial aid and won’t be able to retain quality faculty, administrators say. There appears to be an unassailable belief that tuition should rise every year. Don’t buy into the hype too quickly. Granted, the University is a political animal. It relies heavily on state appropriations, and administrators have to fight to convince politicians that UNC needs every dollar it can get. But though the University did face a significant reduction in funding from the state, it still received more than $538 million last year and is on track to get about the same this year. That’s a lot more than many of our peers. Here’s some more perspective. The tuition increases proposed by Chancellor Holden Thorp would bring in only about $4 million after the state takes its $200 cut. The University raised that much in two weeks during a 2002 fundraising campaign. Even getting all that money back from the state, the total is only about $9.2 million. Still just a drop in the bucket. The University is spending more than five times that much to revamp student software programs. UNC has an annual budget of $2.3 billion. Administrators are planning a $4 billion fundraising campaign. And money seems to “appear” when it is needed. In August, the Office of Scholarships and Student aid said it ran out of money. That is, until the provost’s office came up with enough money to rescue it. The state constitution mandates that undergraduate education should be provided to residents for as close to free as possible. With nearly 500,000 North Carolinians out of work last month and millions more struggling, this year needed a different perspective brought to the provost’s table. The tuition debates should have been held out in a Wilson County tobacco field, at a table headed by a farm worker living on $9.50 per hour. How much would a $250 increase impact his ability to send his son to the institution dedicated to educating the state’s young people? UNC system policy mandates that tuition should be increased only if a stringent set of guidelines are met. But in the last 10 years, tuition has more than doubled for instate students and more than tripled for out-of-state students. I’m headed into my last semester lucky to have been able to scrape enough money together to make it to graduation. In 2010, let’s think more about where our priorities lie. Is it in raising the equivalent of a two week fundraiser? Or in remaining accessible to the people of North Carolina?

Few people, big impact DeSimone has been at UNC for the past 20 years. When he came to interview here in the fall of 1989, academia was not where he expected to end up. But UNC happened to be starting a polymer program, and with colleague Edward Samulski, he got the program off the ground. DeSimone does not just analyze problems — he solves them. And in revolutionary ways. This was the case in 2002, when DeSimone helped develop a bioabsorbable stent for cardiovascular surgery. Previously, metal stents were used to support blood vessels

while they healed, but were left in the body for a lifetime. “Why have a permanent prosthetic for a temporary healing issue?” he said. Now people will not have to. The stent he helped develop dissolves naturally in a matter of weeks. And three weeks ago, Abbott Vascular announced that it will use the stent DeSimone helped develop in more than 1,000 people in Europe and Australia. “It taught me about the impact a few people could have on many people,” he said.

Latest developments And with that world-changing outlook in mind, DeSimone is working on perhaps his greatest project yet — Particle Replication in Non-wetting Templates, or PRINT. On a recent visit to his office, DeSimone pulled out a thin iridescent film, manufactured in Research Triangle Park at Liquidia, the company he founded. He explained that the film is made by coating a silicon plate with liquid Teflon, using light to harden it. This essentially means making a mold of the plate. He shined a green light

Particle replication (Tar Heel style) The process is called “Particle Replication in Non-wetting Templates” (PRINT,) but Dr. DeSimone compares it to an “ice cube tray for nanoparticles.”

PFPE: fills crevasses of objects without sticking to them.

What does it mean? Among other things, particles can be created in a diversity of shapes that can more easily enter the blood stream, meaning your prescription will start working quicker.

through the film, which refracts into a grid, revealing the innumerable particle packets that compose it. “One particle wafer can treat 2,000 people,” he said. And the treatment options are boundless. The packets can be filled with drugs or genetic material. Right now, they are being filled with antigens for flu and H1N1 vaccines. DeSimone explained that he is also working on using hemoglobin to produce synthetic blood cells. There are environmental applications as well. “We are working on manipulating light for more energy efficient windows and roofs,” he said. Coating surfaces with lightreflecting particle film can significantly lower energy costs for buildings.

True blue Over the past 20 years, other institutions have tried to convince DeSimone to leave UNC. Recognizing the value of his research and entrepreneurship, the University has been able to persuade him to stay. When asked if at this point he would ever leave, he was quite frank. “(My family has) been in North Carolina for 20 years. We will be in North Carolina for another 20 years. I will retire in North Carolina,” he said. With more than 100 patents, more than 100 patents pending, faculty positions at UNC and N.C. State University and a company in RTP, DeSimone has accomplished much here. He modestly dismissed the notion that he is a prime candidate for the Nobel Prize, saying his work is too applied. But there is no mistaking the value of his research to UNC, North Carolina and the world. Sir Isaac Newton famously said, “If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.” DeSimone is a giant in our own time. — Cameron Parker, Editorial board member

Smoking ban hits hookah bars BY Hillary Rose Owens STAFF Writer

As January draws closer, Adam Bliss continues to work on adapting Hookah Bliss to work with North Carolina’s indoor smoking ban. It has been a long and difficult process. After the bill’s ratification May 14, Bliss began his campaign to remain open. The bill will go into effect on Jan. 2. From then on, smoking inside restaurants and bars will be banned. Cigar bars, country clubs and tobacco retailers will be excluded. Hookah bars will not. “If you look at the exemptions, they’re generally all places that rich, older white men like to smoke,” Bliss said earlier this year. “If our representatives liked to smoke in hookah bars, hookah bars would have been exempt as well.”

Bliss said he began to lobby N.C. General Assembly members after finding out about the bill. He and a few others sent e-mails and called local representatives. Petitions circ ulated. They attended hearings and visited legislators. But despite all their efforts, the outcome did not change. “I have never been politically involved in anything in my life, and this whole situation has awakened the political activist in me,” Bliss said. And this political activist refuses to forsake his hookah bar. He is currently looking for loopholes in the system that would allow him to continue operation. Hookah Bliss could stay in business if 75 percent of the store’s annual revenue came from tobacco sales and it did not serve food or

“I have never been politically involved in anything in my life, and this … has awakened the political activist in me.” Adam Bliss, owner of Hookah Bliss alcohol. Making profits from different areas would then qualify the hookah bar as a tobacco shop and exempt it from the indoor smoking ban. “According to the law, as long as I’m not serving food and alcohol, I fall under that category of tobacco retailer, and I can stay open,” Bliss said. Bliss said the change will be interesting, and the hookah bar will lose some revenue. To make up for this loss, he said the price of hookah will have to increase. Bliss also said he plans to sell

more high-quality teas. He will also ramp up the hookah bar’s coffee production by making different types of espresso drinks. There will also be more exotic juices and other types of sodas. It has been a long process full of struggles, but Bliss has remained positive. He said he refuses to close until he is absolutely forced to. “If I start moaning and groaning about it, it will not help the situation at all,” he said. “I have to adapt to the rules that have been set.” Contact the Features Editor at features@unc.edu.

the Spartans wouldn’t dictate the game’s tempo as it did in past wins against Louisville and UConn. In just more than four minutes, UNC had 17 points. The Spartans were following North Carolina’s lead, racing up court and taking shots early in possessions. Action moved at a blistering pace and mirrored the rhythm from the when the two teams met Dec. 3 — a 98-63 UNC win. In that game, the Spartans (317) were able to trade baskets with the Tar Heels and hang around for the first 14 minutes. But Wayne Ellington’s hot shooting and Ty Lawson’s defensive pressure made certain that the Spartans’ demise came earlier this time. Ellington connected on his first three attempts from the field and finished the half 7-of-9 for 17 points. Ellington’s 19 points earned him the honor of Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player. “The game came to me,” Ellington said. “(Travis Walton) was telling me that he was going to shut me down. He’s a great defender. … I just saw a pretty big basket in the first half.” Lawson was equally disruptive on the defensive end. He collected seven steals in the first period and harassed MSU guard Kalin Lucas to the point that there was little hope for the Spartans offensively. “My mindset basically was I wanted to slow down Kalin Lucas,

Tar Heels offer four NBA Draft picks Tyler Hansbrough: Rd. 1, pick 13 by the Indiana Pacers Ty Lawson: Rd. 1, pick 18 by the Denver Nuggets because he’s the heart and soul of their team,” Lawson said. “I was trying to deny him the passing lanes and just make it hard for him to do the things he wanted to do.” The duo was a Tar Heel one-two punch that KO’d Michigan State well before the halftime buzzer. Within 10 minutes, North Carolina’s lead swelled to 34-11. The overwhelmingly Spartan crowd had lost its intimidating edge, and the Spartans’ body language screamed, “This can’t be happening.” MSU players shook their heads, clapped their hands in disgust and slowly walked to the bench during timeouts. A once giddy group had gone flat in a matter of minutes. “We came out firing, and we were hitting on all cylinders early on,” Bobby Frasor said. “You could just see it in their eyes that they were like, ‘Really? What more can we do?’” The 21-point halftime lead was the largest in NCAA championship game history, and UNC’s 55 points in the first period were the most ever by a team in the title game. But then again, UNC’s public display of basketball supremacy shouldn’t have come as a complete surprise.

Wayne Ellington: Rd. 1, pick 28 by the Minnesota Timberwolves Danny Green: Rd. 2, pick 16 by the Cleveland Cavaliers North Carolina had dominated five teams en route to the championship game. Why would Monday night be any different? The Spartans led only once (3-2), and the one-point advantage lasted only 19 seconds. For the entire tournament, the Tar Heels trailed for 9:50 out of a possible 240 minutes. A meager five-point deficit to LSU in the second round was UNC’s largest of the tournament. The Spartans did mount a late charge in the second half behind the play of Goran Suton, who led MSU with 17 points. They cut the lead to 13 points with about four minutes remaining, but an ensuing Lawson layup pushed the lead back to 80-65. The Spartans’ window for a comeback had been slammed shut. “I don’t know, man, that says a lot,” senior Danny Green said of UNC’s run through the tournament. “(It) just tells you how good this team can potentially be, and how we’re going to be remembered forever. We just want to become legendary.”

UNC began its season by spanking the No. 3 UCLA Bruins 7-2 at Fetzer Field to open its title defense. The defense that allowed only 12 goals all year held teams scoreless for the next seven games until the Tar Heels’ defeat of Duke 2-1 in overtime. ACC play did not treat the Tar Heels as kindly as it has in past years, though. UNC suffered three losses in the span of five games, dropping back-to-back matches at Florida State and Miami. The losses marked the first time

ed, generating a 2-on-1 fast break opportunity that resulted in a Nicole Muracco goal to take a 1-0 lead. Down a goal against the nation’s top-ranked team, the Tar Heels drew encouragement from the words of inspiration delivered earlier by senior Riley Foster during the halftime break. “(Riley said) it’s her last 35 minutes, and she’s going to do everything she can on the field, and that just gave us extra motivation,” senior Illse Davids said.

since 2000 that UNC fell consecutively to ACC teams. UNC began the NCAA Tournament with a narrow 1-0 triumph against overmatched High Point. The Tar Heels then dispatched of Georgia 4-0 and Maryland 1-0. A match with Wake Forest stood between UNC and the College Cup. On the day after Thanksgiving, UNC handled one of the ACC’s best in the Demon Deacons, winning 5-2. UNC traveled to College Station, Texas, where it all began for the senior class. There they met a familiar opponent in Notre Dame. The Tar Heels defeated the Irish 2-1 in the 2008 NCAA

clear the ball from its half, Brill dove to the ground, managing to get her stick on the ball and send it back in the shooting circle to Forword. For word turned, beat her defender and fired a blast into the cage to even the score at 1-1 with 9:23 to play. But before the UNC fans in attendance could finish celebrating, the Terrapins answered with a Megan Frazer goal off a penalty corner to take a 2-1 lead. After Frazer’s goal, Shelton called a time-out and pulled Kintzer, a gamble that allowed the Tar Heels to field an extra attacker with 7:49 to go in the game. “I’d rather go out in a blaze then just not do anything,” Shelton said of pulling Kintzer.

“I think in a national championship game you have to dare to be brilliant.” Shelton certainly looked brilliant three minutes later, when Davids dribbled left and launched a shot into the top netting of the goal, evening the score at 2-2. But Forword and the Tar Heels weren’t finished just yet. When UNC officially won its sixth title with Forword’s lategame heroics, even Shelton knew that this championship would be tough to top. “This one was different just because we were such an underdog, and we came from behind in such dramatic fashion,” Shelton said. “To win it with 11 seconds on the clock was an incredible thrill.”

Men’s soccer UNC made a second straight trip to the college cup with a 1-0 win against Drake at Fetzer Field last Sunday. The Tar Heels next weekend take on undefeated Akron for a berth in the NCAA title game.

Carolina Performing Arts dazzled this year Memorial, Gerrard halls hosted shows By Abe Johns

Assistant Arts Editor

As the program is halfway through its fifth season, the Carolina Performing Arts has set a standard for consistently bringing performers of the highest caliber to Chapel Hill. The last year only further confirmed this standard. Memorial Hall and Gerrard Hall were host to a range of internationally acclaimed artists, based on this season’s global theme.

CPA also offered a new presentation of performances through the Loading Dock Series, which allowed for a more personal experience with artist and audience backstage at Memorial Hall. In June, CPA hosted the Bolshoi Ballet, Russia’s premiere ballet company, to perform two shows. “The Bolshoi is really putting us on the map,” said Laurie Paolicelli, executive director of the Chapel Hill- Orange County Visitor’s Bureau, in a June interview.

“Don Quixote” provided passionate movement, and “Swan Lake” was originally composed for the Bolshoi in 1877 and then reworked twice by the Bolshoi’s former artistic director Yuri Grigorovich. “Historically, the fact that they’re doing Swan Lake here is very satisfying to us,” Emil Kang, UNC executive director for the arts, said in June. This year, Daily Tar Heel reviews have been riddled with adjectives such as, “remarkable,” “emotionally stirring,” “beautiful” and “creative and fun.” The fall 2009 season opened

with a performance by a jazz legend who shaped the face of the genre, Sonny Rollins. Playing with a quintet, the tenor saxophonist reminded his audience why he won a Grammy Award. The September review described the show as “an intimate, casual performance as warm as it was dazzling.” Chapel Hill was rocked with Indian star Ravi Shankar, whose sitar music “breathes with a shifting, pulsing sense of color,” as described by an October review of the concert. The 89-year-old Shankar was

accompanied by his daughter Anoushka, whose arrangements turned Memorial Hall into a “warm, personal living room.” Closely following the performance, CPA brought another power group that managed to impress reviewer and audience alike. Banjoist Béla Fleck, bassist Edgar Meyer and tabla player Zakir Hussain had their audience “buzzed with excitement even before the show started,” an October review said. The review also stated, “Though the concert was very different, everyone could connect to the

sound and could feel the rhythm within.” For a change of pace, the Noche Flamenca performance brought an intense heat to their audience. “The passion and intensity of the show was inextricably connected to the dance that they performed,” the review in November said of the show. With such a colorful and powerful experience this past year, CPA leaves Chapel Hill with an exciting curiosity of what is to come. Contact the Arts Editor at artsdesk@unc.edu.

Senior Writer

DETROIT — It all started when they decided to come back. Four players declining the riches of the NBA, motivated to make one more run at history. One more run at a national title. And everything that happened this season — the expectations, the No. 1 rankings, the blowout wins — pointed toward this one signature moment. A scene that suddenly became

reality in front of 72,922 spectators Monday night. Senior Mike Copeland wildly flung the ball into the air. Players jumped up and down in jubilation amid a blizzard of confetti. Tyler Hansbrough hugged coach Roy Williams as explosions rang throughout Ford Field. They did it. In a truly dominant display, the North Carolina Tar Heels asserted themselves atop the college basketball world as nation-

al champions by defeating Big Ten regular-season champion Michigan State, 89-72. The win gives UNC its fifth NCAA title, and its second in five seasons. “The first one was unbelievably sweet in 2005, and in some ways this is even sweeter,” Williams said after the game. “I’m so proud of this team. People anointed us before the year that we were going to go undefeated. “It’s an incredible feeling. …

Against Michigan State in Detroit, North Carolina finished its season with UNC’s fifth NCAA championship.

My hat’s off to … the guys in the locker room, because they took Roy Williams on one fantastic ride, and it’s something that I’ll never forget.” Right out of the gate, the Tar Heels (34-4) let MSU know that

See basketball, Page 13

After making huge leaps in Butch Davis’ second year in Chapel Hill, North Carolina was a trendy pick to make waves in the ACC this year. Sure, Virginia Tech was making noise as a possible national title contender. Miami and Randy Shannon were bringing the swag back to the Hurricanes. And Georgia Tech had seen its offense become prolific in Paul Johnson’s first year. Even so, media members throughout the country saw UNC as a dark-horse pick in the conference. But after a quick 3-0 start to the season, North Carolina got bruised and bullied in its first ACC game — a 24-7 loss to Georgia Tech. The following week against Virginia, a team who had struggled mightily early in the season,

UNC again struggled and lost. North Carolina’s defense was stellar — other than its performance against the Yellow Jackets — it was mainly the offense who couldn’t get anything going. Quarterback T.J. Yates was the easy scapegoat, but with a young receiving core, it was easy to see that things weren’t clicking. The following week, in UNC’s first Thursday night home game ever, the Tar Heels jumped to a fast start but fell to FSU. When UNC traveled up to Virginia Tech the following Thursday, not many were expecting a ‘W’ from the Tar Heels. But that’s just what they got, as kicker Casey Barth delivered for UNC in dramatic fashion. UNC heads to Charlotte for the Meineke Car Care Bowl for the second straight year. It finished the regular season with an 8-4 record.

Summer in Omaha Staff and Wire Reports

SENIOR HAT TRICK

Staff and Wire Reports

Their first collegiate game was a double-overtime loss at Aggie Soccer Stadium. Fittingly, on that same field, they capped their careers with a national championship. On Dec. 6th, North Carolina’s senior class ended its career at UNC — this time with a win. The Tar Heels (23-3-1) defeated Stanford 1-0, giving the program its 20th NCAA title and

giving the senior class its third ring in four years. “We knew we had come to Carolina to win, and here we had lost our first game of the season,” senior defender Whitney Engen said of her first game at UNC. “I think to come full circle and win our last game right here on this field meant a lot to us.” Against Stanford in the title game, senior forward Casey Nogueira delivered a ball to

Jessica McDonald in the third minute for the game’s only score. The Tar Heels held the Cardinal, which was undefeated entering the match, to only nine shots on the day. It also helped when Stanford’s most prolific scorer, Kelley O’Hara, was ejected from the match in the 72nd minute. The victory made the second straight year where UNC knocked off an undefeated team

VICTORIOUS

WINSTON-SALEM — With less than a minute to play, and a national championship hanging in the balance, North Carolina field hockey coach Karen Shelton went to her money player. And Dani Forword cashed in. The senior captain took junior Katelyn Falgowski’s penalty corner feed and drilled a shot into the back of the cage with 11.7 seconds remaining to give the

North Carolina field hockey team (20-2) a 3-2 victory against Maryland and the program’s sixth NCAA Championship. “Melanie Brill on my left just kept repeating out loud, ‘I believe in you, I believe in you, I believe in you,’ even when they were rushing out just before I took that shot,” Forword said of her game winner. “There’s nothing like knowing that your teammates really need

this and that they do believe in you, and I don’t know what it was that came over me, but it went in.” Forword’s goal provided a fitting conclusion to a game chock full of drama. From the outset, Maryland (23-1) appeared to have the upper hand, yet none of the Terrapins’ eight first-half shots could get past Tar Heel keeper Jackie Kintzer, who culminated

in the national title game. It also marked the best fouryear stretch for a North Carolina senior class since 1997-2000 when that class also won three out of four.

They went to Omaha, Neb., for the fourth straight year. Yet once again, the North Carolina baseball team left empty-handed. Way back in February, with the beginning of the spring season, the Tar Heels looked to have all the pieces. They swept a huge regularseason series with Miami and entered the ACC tournament as the No. 2 seed. And though the Tar Heels were eliminated by Clemson, the loss didn’t prevent them from hosting yet another NCAA regional. They beat Dartmouth, 5-2. They got sweet revenge against Coastal Carolina, with a 14-5 beatdown. And they won the regional with a shellacking of Kansas, 12-1. In the super regional against ECU, any talk of a high-profile showdown was quickly quieted, as North Carolina looked and played the part of College World Series team. East Carolina didn’t. The Tar Heels swept ECU and moved on to their fourth straight CWS. But in Omaha, things didn’t go UNC’s way. North Carolina was eliminated by Arizona State, losing twice to the Sun Devils and once more falling short of its ultimate goal. In the first loss, Alex White went nine innings, earning one run while fanning a career-high 12 batters. But this performance was all for naught, as Colin Bates and Brian Moran combined to give up four runs in the tenth. North Carolina rebounded well, trouncing Southern Miss

dth file photo

Dustin Ackley set the all-time school record for hits in just three years before going pro. in an elimination game, 11-4. In that game, Ackley became the all-time College World Series hit leader for his career. The next game was another loss to Arizona State. UNC was doomed by an eight-run inning in the bottom of the seventh, sealing their fate. With the season over, a number of players turned their attention to their own professional careers. The Seattle Mariners selected Ackley second overall, only after San Diego State phenom Stephen Strasburg. White became the second Tar Heel selected in the first round when the Cleveland Indians took him fifteenth overall. In all, six Tar Heels signed with professional teams.

Sylvia Hatchell’s Tar Heels earned a preseason No. 1 conference ranking for the first time and finished 28-7, 10-4 in the conference. UNC opened 2009 in the midst of a 17-game win streak and earned a No. 2 national ranking. But a 30-point loss to No. 1 UConn left UNC struggling, and the Tar Heels bowed out in the NCAA Tournament’s second round to Purdue. In 2009, UNC again earned the preseason conference No.1 ranking, and so far has only stumbled at Michigan State.

Women’s Lacrosse

Kristen Taylor and Megan Bosica led UNC on a surprising run to the NCAA title game last summer. After bowing out in the first round of the ACC Tournament, UNC defeated Townson, Notre Dame and Maryland (in Townson, Md.) before falling to Northwestern in the title game.

Men’s lacrosse

UNC brought in high-profile coach Joe Breschi from Ohio State and UNC won an ACC game for the first time in five years. The Tar Heels’ season ended with a loss to Duke in the NCAA Tournament.
