H.E. Luccock Friday, January 25, 2013 dailytarheel.com Volume 120, Issue 137 University counters complaint allegation SEXUAL ASSAULT ON CAMPUS By Caitlin McCabe and Hailey Vest Staff Writers After nearly a week of silence, administrators began Thursday to address allegations against UNCs handling of sexual assault cases that emerged from a complaint filed Jan. 16 with the U.S. Department of Education. The allegations, with respect to the underreporting of sexual assault, are false they are untrue, and they are just plain wrong, Vice Chancellor and General Counsel Leslie Strohm said at a UNC Board of Trustees meeting Thursday. At the meeting, Strohm countered former Assistant Dean of Students Melinda Mannings accusation in the complaint that the University Counsels office pressured her to underreport cases of sexual assault. We all know that allegations that are included on the front page of a widely read paper do enduring dam- age, Strohm said. We also know, if we think back, that allegations even when theyre printed on the front page of a widely read paper can be false. The complaint, authored by three current students, one former student and Manning, was filed with the Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights and obtained by The Daily Tar Heel. The complaint says the number of sexual assault cases that Manning submitted for 2010 was questioned by Office of University Counsel employees, who said the numbers were too high and suggested she review them. The complaint says that the num- ber of sexual assaults that appeared in the Universitys Clery report for 2010 was three lower than the num- ber Manning originally submitted. The Clery Act requires all federal- ly funded campuses to report crime statistics to the federal government. At the meeting, Strohm provided trustees with an email from Manning addressed to Dean of Students Jonathan Sauls, dated Sept. 13, 2011. In the email, Manning wrote that General Counsel Leslie Strohm said UNC reported more cases than Manning.

At their January meeting, some Board of Governors members supported raising the 18 percent cap on out-of-state and international student enrollment in discussions about the systems proposed five-year strategic plan. Lifting the cap could generate revenue for campuses, but enrollment would also neces- sarily increase since the number of in-state students would remain the same. Critics also say the proposal would detract from the sys- tems mission to educate state residents. Larger universities in the system have historically brushed up against the cap, but North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University almost doubled the per- centage last year. Out-of-state students made up 31.4 per- cent of the schools 2012 freshman class. N.C. A&T is the systems only school that exceeded the cap in 2012. By Lucinda Shen Staff Writer UNC-system leaders have proposed looking to international students for more money but those students might not be willing to pay. The systems Board of Governors proposed increas- ing the 18 percent enrollment cap on out-of-state and international students while discussing the systems five-year strategic plan at its January meeting. The plan includes recommendations to boost rev- enues and degree attainment at universities. Under the proposal, international students could pay a higher third-tier tuition rate beyond the systems current out-of-state and in-state tuition structure. But the system might see fewer international stu- dents apply and less revenue if the tier system Percentage of new out-of-state students at UNC-system schools In fall 2012, 14.5 percent of UNC-system freshmen were nonresidents. Only North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University surpassed the 18 percent cap on out-of-state student enrollment at a rate of 31.4 percent.

The work is a part of Carolina Performing Arts centennial celebration of the groundbreaking ballet. With Bill and Anne, you have two of the most distin- guished artists not only in their fields, but in the nation, said Emil Kang, executive director of the arts at UNC and head of CPA. Their work is known for navigating between realism and abstraction, so what we will see in their piece is this traversing between the literal and the figurative.

When they found out the other was involved, they wanted to talk about (working together). They thought it was going to be a real artistic reach for them. Jones said the duos goal was not to repeat past performanc- es of The Rite of Spring, but to add to the conversation and present something new. We werent trying to return to the vibrato of (Vaslav) Nijinsky, Jones said. We were trying to make one from our own experiences in our own fields. Jones said it is Stravinskys score that provides the most tangible point of reference moving forward with creating a new work. Darron West, the sound designer, has found many jazz and big band versions of The Rite of Spring something I never knew existed and they have juxtaposed (against) the original version, giving it a kaleidoscopic quality. Bogart said creating a new work based off the controver- sial ballet has the potential to embolden future artists to take risks. What all artists share, we are in the business of making and breaking expectations, she said. 2 giants collide SEE A RITE, PAgE 4 NOTED.

From staff and wire reports inBRIEF County OKs new community center By Chelsey Dulaney City Editor Orange County Commissioner Earl McKee has a saying All hat and no horses. At a Thursday night meet- ing, McKee urged the Board of Commissioners to step away from decades of empty promises and move forward with plans to build a community center for the Rogers Road neighborhood. The meeting could be a defining moment in the 40-year discussion about Rogers Road the historically black and low-income neigh- borhood that has housed the countys landfill since 1972. In a unanimous vote, the board opted to move forward with the community center. In a later 5-2 vote, the board extend- ed the life of the Historic Rogers Road Neighborhood Task Force by six months. The task force made up of representatives from Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Rogers Road was cre- ated in February 2012 when the commissioners set a landfill closing date of June 2013. During a Dec. 6 Assembly of Governments meeting, some local officials suggested dis- banding the task force. This prompted Town Council member Lee Storrow, Alderman Michelle Johnson and UNC research fellow Molly DeMarco to petition the board to extend the task force. There was a group of citi- zens who were concerned and surprised by the suggestion to not continue the task force, Storrow said. There is work still to be done. In August, The Rogers- Eubank Neighborhood Associations community center was shut down for violating fire and safety codes. Since then, local officials have united behind the promise of providing the neighborhood with a new, 4,000-square-foot com- munity center though funding has been a point of contention. The Board of Commissioners has agreed to allocate $650,000 to fund the center. At Thursdays night meet- ing, the commissioners vowed to take the next steps towards opening the community center with or without help from Chapel Hill or Carrboro. I want to hold us to the fire, said Commissioner Bernadette Pelissier. If the towns dont want to participate then thats fine well go ahead without them. But the conversation has splintered over a $5.8 mil- lion plan to provide water and sewer services to the neighbor- hood a plan that has sparked concern about unintended con- cern like gentrification. The day that sewer line is extended, development will fol- low, said McKee. Newly-minted Commissioner Mark Dorosin urged the board to move for- ward with plans for remedia- tion despite these concerns. Commissioners voted to move forward on Rogers Road.

Perdue heads to Harvard for fellowship By Madeline Will Senior Writer Former Gov. Bev Perdue will be heading back to school this semester. Perdue will be a resident fellow at Harvard Universitys Institute of Politics this spring, joining big names in politics like Karen Hughes, former counselor to President George W. Bush, and Steve Kerrigan, CEO and co-chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee. Esten Perez, spokesman for the institute, said the six fellows will arrive on campus in the next week or two and will stay until the end of April. There will also be visiting fellows, like former Gov. Jon Huntsman and John King, CNNs chief national correspondent. The resident fellows will host study groups once a week on topics of their choosing. They receive a small stipend along with provided housing, Perez said. Were really happy that the governor will be there, and we think students will enjoy being in her study group, he said. Im quite positive that the governor will receive dozens of invitations from student groups to speak. Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism professor and an expert on Southern politics, said it is common for the institute to invite newly former public officials. Its great for the students there because they get to meet and learn from people who were just in office, he said. It will give her an opportunity to be a part of a network of interesting journalists and policy affectors. Jesse White, a professor at the UNC School of Government, was a fellow at the institute in the spring of 1990. He led a study group on modern Southern politics. They generally get people who are in transition, like Gov. Perdue, White said, adding that his experience was terrific. My advice for her would be to stay there as much as possible and feast from the Harvard table, he said. You can audit classes youre encouraged to revitalize your mind, as well as share your experiences with the undergraduates. Guillory said its premature to say this will be a launching pad for Perdues next political move. I think it will give her time to think, to reflect on what she has accomplished, and what she might accomplish in the future, he said. Perdue, who holds a doctorate in education administration, used to host dinners for university students in the area. During her term, she vetoed state budgets that included millions in cuts to the UNC system, but the vetoes were overridden by the Republican-led N.C. General Assembly. In an interview earlier this month, Perdue said she thought the UNC system would continue to produce leaders, which reinforces its importance to the state. Im hopeful there will be a continued commitment to higher education in the future, she said. Perdue has also said she wants to be part of an educational foundation focusing on technology.

Get your Hands dirty By Paige Ladisic Staff Writer For three students at Phillips Middle School, going through garbage is anything but trashy. As part of the Siemens We Can Change the World Challenge, the students conducted a classroom trash audit in which they collected and sorted through everything thrown away by their classmates. Only 22 percent of the trash was real trash, said Anagha Kalvade, the recycling teams coach and a parent of a student at the school. The remaining percentage was recyclable or compostable trash. The students realized the benefit of reducing what is thrown out in favor of composting and recycling more items, Kalvade said. And now they want to bring their research to the rest of the community. We have a list of different projects that we would really like to start here in our Chapel Hill neighborhood, Kalvade said. In 2010-11, 54,467 tons of waste were buried in the Orange County landfill. In February 2012, Orange County Commissioners voted to close the landfill in June 2013. Many people dont even know that our landfill is closing, Kalvade said. And, after the students learned the countys waste would be transferred to a Durham County waste transfer station, they decided to do some research on how much that would cost. They figured out how much cost we will be spending on each truck when we send our trash away, Kalvade said. Chapel Hill Town Councilman Lee Storrow said the closing of the county landfill will drastically increase the countys waste expenses. Anything we can do to reduce waste is obviously environmentally beneficial but its also economically beneficial, he said. He said students should be aware of these benefits. Anything we can do to educate young people about how to reduce waste and be environmentally minded is very important, Storrow said.

Unaffiliated voters outnum- ber registered Democrats or Republicans in 42 of 100 N.C. counties, according to a recent report of 2012 election results by Democracy North Carolina, a left-leaning voter advocacy organization in Durham. Unaffiliated voters in the state have been growing, sig- nifying diminishing party alle- giance, said Bob Hall, director of Democracy North Carolina. Were not so much a state thats split between Republicans and Democrats as one thats really up for grabs because voters are not feeling strongly affiliated with either party, Hall said. Rick Henderson, managing editor of the right-leaning John Locke Foundations Carolina Journal, said the growing num- ber of unaffilliated voters helps make North Carolina a conten- tious swing state. What we see in voter reg- istration numbers is the per- centage of unaffiliated is going up not as dramatic as some Western states but were get- ting to a point where we may have as much as 25 percent unaffiliated, he said. While the number of unaf- filiated voters is growing, the state is also becoming increas- ingly polarized. Former Republican presi- dential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama evenly split the 10 N.C. coun- ties with the highest turnout, according to the report. Its a very divided time right now politics are very divided, and there are a lot of strong feelings and anger, said Rob Schofield, director of research and policy development at the left-leaning N.C. Policy Watch. I think that is reflected some- what in whos voting and how theyre voting. The report identified African-American women and white Republicans as the demographics with the largest 2012 turnout. Each group had a 74 percent turnout rate far above the 68 percent statewide average. Hall said some experts sug- gest that the increasing num- ber of African-American and young voters in North Carolina might cause the state to swing Democratic in future elections. But he does not think this will be the case. I dont think the demo- graphic destiny will determine political destiny, Hall said. I think theres still a lot of fluidity and a lot of people whose politi- cal ideology is not really strong.

From Page One Friday, January 25, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 4 there were 16 total sex offens- es in 2010 12 on-campus offenses and four off-campus offenses. But on Thursday, Strohm provided trustees with the 2011 Campus Security Report, which reported 23 total sex offenses for 2010 seven higher than number reported by Manning. Manning did not respond to calls for comment. Andrea Pino and Annie Clark, both filers of the com- plaint, declined to comment on the discrepancy. The security report details that 19 sex offenses were reported on campus in 2010, while four were reported off- campus. Of the cases not reported in Mannings email, four occurred in residence halls, and three occurred on other areas of campus, according to the security report. We reported 43 percent more sex offenses than Melinda Manning provided to us, Strohm said. So the facts are these: The Office of University Counsel reported every single sex offense that Melinda Manning sent to us, plus seven additional sex offenses that we gathered through our outreach efforts, she said. Karen Moon, a spokes- woman for the University, said UNC obtained data for the seven additional sex offenses from other sources, including the Department of Public Safety and the Chapel Hill Police Department. Some false allegations are at the meeting. In an interview, Smith said she was contacted a few days ago and is currently involved in discussions about ways she can support the University. My goal is to incorporate my history and expertise and weave that in with campus culture, Smith said. She listed three goals: working to eliminate sexual misconduct, addressing its effects and preventing its recurrence. Smith said she listens to students and aims to develop a fair and balanced process that will meet students needs. She said she was pleased see the initiative taken by UNC administrators. The issues around sexual misconduct are not unique, Smith said. What is unique is an open, transparent, commit- ted response to student wellbe- ing that comes from the top. Pino said regardless of what happens behind closed doors, it is important that UNC take the community into account. We are a voice that needs to be listened to in this, she said. Right now, were a University of the people that is ignoring the people.

Strohm said she could not comment on other allegations in the complaint because she has yet to receive a copy of it, but that it has renewed a conversation about sexual violence one that is worth having, she said. To spark that conversation, Chancellor Holden Thorp announced at the meeting that the University is consult- ing with Gina Maisto Smith, a legal and policy expert who has experience with sexual misconduct issues. Smith has dealt with uni- versities facing allegations surrounding sexual assault. She previously consulted with administrators at Amherst College after a sexual assault scandal surfaced in October. She was recommended to Thorp by Amhersts President Carolyn Biddy Martin. As soon as I saw this com- ing, I sent an email to Biddy, Thorp said in an interview. She just told us what a great job Mrs. Smith had done for Amherst, and so we decided to engage her. Thorp said UNC is seeking required approval to retain Smith. In talking with her, we feel that she has excellent ideas and experiences that can bring a healthy outside perspective to where we are on campus today, Thorp said This piece is one that does this in spades. The first stroke on the canvas or stage sets up the night. Severine Neff, a music professor at UNC who is represented on-stage in A Rite, said she played a part in aiding Jones and Bogart by providing background infor- mation and sharing her expe- riences with the ballet. There are a lot of boats that went down, but its the Titanic that we remember, Neff said. So what is it about this performance that makes us remember it? Bogart gave credit to Jones for coming up with the title for the work. It is a frame and its some- a ritE from page 1 is adopted, said Lauren Ball, a board member for the N.C. Association of International Educators, in an email. A third-tier tuition for international students wont keep them from coming to the U.S. it will just keep many of them from studying in North Carolina, Bell said. In 2011, 2,888 interna- tional students were enrolled at UNC-system campuses about 1.65 percent of the student body. UNC-CH enrolled 86 international students as freshmen in 2012. International students contribute different perspec- tives that prepare domestic students for the global work force, Bell said. Despite rising tuition rates at UNC-CH, more international students are enrolling each year, said Jean Hughes, associate director of International Student & Scholar Services at UNC-CH. Its difficult to discern why international student enroll- ment is increasing, because students apply for varying reasons, she said. International students tend to major in STEM disci- plines science, technology, engineering and math said Leslie Boney, the systems vice president for international, community and economic engagement. These students tend to stay because theyve developed connections in the state and fill regional needs in these disciplines, Boney said. State taxpayers have opposed suggestions to raise the 18 percent cap when it was proposed in the past. And Rep. Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke, said this sentiment is unlikely to change. The system is responsible for providing an education for North Carolinians, he said. The number of in-state students enrolled would remain the same under the proposal requiring overall enrollment to increase during a time of scarce resources. Blackwell also questioned the reason for lifting the cap. Im not sure that a need or desire for additional rev- enue is sufficient rationale, he said. The board will vote on the strategic plan in February. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com small sChools from page 1 dth/jaSoN woloNiCk Bill T.

Jones said the new work utilizes many techniques and styles in order to present the audience with something they can draw their own conclu- sions from. The piece is, in some way, a fresh explosion in your face and it is done with dance, movement, lighting and, of course, a deconstruction and reconstruction of Nijinskys score, Jones said. Im hoping that everyone creates their own meaning and narrative for this piece. Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com. 18 pErCEnt from page 1 said. But N.C. A&T does not want to continue enrolling such a large amount of out- of-state students, she said. Last year, out-of-state enrollment ranged from 3 per- cent to 31.4 percent on various UNC-system campuses. The system fined UNC- Chapel Hill $158,225 for exceeding the cap in 2011. Out-of-state students consist- ed of 16.6 percent of UNC- CHs 2012 freshman class. Other large public uni- versity systems, such as the University of California system, are also considering a higher out-of-state enroll- ment cap to generate revenue. For every 1,000 non- resident students, the univer- sity gets an additional $23 million, said Dianne Klein, a spokeswoman for the UC system. UC-system schools cur- rently set their own targets for out-of-state enrollment. But out-of-state enrollment systemwide cannot exceed 10 percent a cap the system will likely increase, Klein said. Despite the potential to increase revenue by enrolling more out-of-state students, UNC-Pembroke, another smaller UNC-system school, consistently maintains a low out-of-state enrollment. UNC-P enrolled the low- est number of out-of-state freshmen in the system 3 percent in 2012. We think we can raise the cap with- out hurting in-state students. Wanda lester, associate vice chancellor at N.C. a&t UNC-P Provost Ken Kitts said the university is not pay- ing much attention to the enrollment cap debate. Were a regional university that exists to serve the state of North Carolina, he said. Its not that we dont welcome out-of-state students It has just never been a focal point of our recruitment effort. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Friday, January 25, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 5 SportsFriday dth file photo/chelsey allder Freshman forward Xylina McDaniel goes up for a shot. She is second on the team in scoring. UNC falls flat against Maryland By Jonathan LaMantia Assistant Sports Editor Seven times this season, UNC has won when it has been tied or trailing at halftime, including a 10-point comeback against Maryland on Jan. 3 that ended in a Tar Heel win. But Thursday nights 85-59 loss to Maryland was also the seventh time this season that the Tar Heels failed to make a 3-pointer during a full half of play. We didnt start out very well defen- sively or offensively, UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. They got rolling. They shot 65 per- cent in the first half. Sophomore transfer Erika Johnson hit North Carolinas first 3-pointer a bank shot from the top of the key with 12:09 left in the second half, but by then the Terrapins had jumped out to a 55-37 lead that they would not relinquish. UNC shot one-for-19 from the 3-point range on the night. Maryland forward Alyssa Thomas recorded 17 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. And teammate Tianna Hawkins led all scorers with 25 points. They were shooting so well from the outside, senior Krista Gross said. We had to come out, and so it left holes in the inside. Hawkins and Thomas entered the game ranked first and second in the ACC, respectively, in both scoring and rebounding. The loss was UNCs first since a 102- 57 loss against Tennessee on Dec. 2. The Tar Heels did not make a 3-pointer until midway through the second half. SECOND GENERATION By Dylan Howlett Staff Writer Xylina McDaniel can hear a voice when shes on the court. Its not in the North Carolina freshman forwards head. Shes not imagining things. It could be heard from miles away. Every single time, McDaniel said, when asked whether she can hear it on the court. Sometimes I try to act like I dont hear him, but he knows that I hear him, so he ll keep doing it. That distinctive voice box belongs to Xavier McDaniel, her father. He starred at Wichita State and was selected fourth over- all by the Seattle SuperSonics in the 1985 NBA Draft. He was the X-Man to NBA fans, but to his daughter, he is a confidant, adviser and best friend. Hes also not afraid to flex his vocal chords. I dont say too much, but I will say some- thing if I dont see her doing something or I dont see her being aggressive, he said. When she takes the ball, I know she can hear me. And thats why I would say something to her like, Youre not playing no defense and youre not rebounding. Get your ass going. In 1994, during the twilight of the elder McDaniels career that featured one All-Star nod, his daughter was born. Four years later, she had a ball in her hands as the NBA vet- eran prepared for retirement. As one career ended, another sprouted. A lot of people have aspirations of their kids playing college ball, and I had the same thing, Xavier McDaniel said. It started with chucking small, rubber balls at miniature plastic hoops clipped onto the doors in their South Carolina home. The budding basketball player soon graduated to the McDaniels half-court and basket in their backyard, where father and daughter practiced move after move after move. It was far from lighthearted bonding. Xavier McDaniel vowed to make his daughter a better player every time she cradled a ball Basketball talent runs deep in Xylina McDaniels family. see BASKETBALL, page 8 WOMENS BASKETBALL: MARYLAND 85, UNC 59 Wrestlers face shallow roster By Jonathan LaMantia Assistant Sports Editor Last weekend, North Carolina freshman 125-pound- er Nathan Kraisser opened UNCs dual meets against then-No. 11 Virginia and then- No. 9 Virginia Tech with upsets in consecutive days. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, his success couldnt extend into the upper weight classes. UNC dropped both bouts, including a match against Virginia Tech in which the Tar Heels lost eight straight matches in the 10-meet event. But Kraisser sent a message to a young UNC squad that the Tar Heels will need to heed as they prepare to send only freshmen and sophomores to the mat against Navy and Maryland this weekend. It showed that rank- ings dont mean anything, Kraisser said. You can go out there and wrestle someone ranked ahead of you and still beat him. Today, the Tar Heels will wrestle in Annapolis, Md., and on Saturday, in College Park, Md. The Tar Heels continue to fight through their dual meet schedule with a roster that coach C.D. Mock admits isnt deep enough. Redshirt sophomore Tanner Eitel, a transfer from Virginia Tech who missed a year due to injury, shocked Virginias Jon Fausey last weekend, beating the then- No. 14 174-pounder 12-10. This week, Eitel will need to summon all he has just to step on the mat. Eitel is fighting flu-like symptoms, but hes the only wrestler in his weight class traveling with the team. He knows hes got to wrestle because we dont have anyone else there, Mock said. Hes on board Its really just a matter of making up your mind that youre going to make your body go for seven minutes. Antonio Giorgio, a 197-pounder, is not ready to Injuries have forced some Tar Heels out of their comfort zones. see WRESTLINg, page 8 mostly without any parental coddling. On the court, when hes coaching me, its all hard cussing out, yelling, screaming, mak- ing me run, Xylina McDaniel said. She admitted to coming to tears during workouts with her father. Hes hard on her, UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. Hes probably harder on her than my coaching staff is. He knows how to motivate her and get on her. When Xavier McDaniel would demon- strate and teach, no matter how angrily he did so, Xylina McDaniel would follow suit with such ease that he could not help but see MCDANIEL, page 8 X Ikb + WINE + 8Ak Fr|day Jaruary 25 lr Zpr-11pr 114 henderson 8t Rosemary 8t UN6 hab|tat for human|ty Fundra|s|ng Art 8how 3alurday Jaruary 2 lr / 0FF a|| we|| dr|nks www.trubar.net Friday, January 25, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 6 SportsFriday Friday, January 25, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 7 Brandon Brooke Jonathan Henry Kelly Michael Daniel Moree Pryor LaMantia Gargan Parsons Lananna Wiser Last Week 7-1 5-3 6-2 5-3 5-3 4-4 4-4 Record to date 7-1 (.875) 5-3 (.625) 6-2 (.750) 5-3 (.625) 5-3 (.625) 4-4 (.500) 4-4 (.500) UNC at N.C.

Sports Editor Brandon Moree is starting out hot and only dropped one pick last week. But before all you readers starting putting money on Moree to finish on top, remember that he also started out on a hot streak dur- ing the football season, going 21-3 in the first three weeks of picking before beginning a steady decline to the cellar. Newcomer Assistant Sports Editor Jonathan LaMantia is quickly getting the hang of things and posted a 6-2 record last week. Well see this weekend if LaMantia truly has skills or if he was just running with beginners luck. Assistant Sports Editors Brooke Pryor and Henry Gargan along with Senior Writer Kelly Parsons put together a slightly above average 5-3 week. Gargan finished atop the rankings last season, so he could just be waiting in the wings to make his big move to the top. Michael Lananna made some risky picks last week that didnt really pay off. Though he correctly picked Florida to down Missouri, Wake Forest didnt beat Virginia Tech, and Daniel Wiser is this weeks guest picker. Hes commonly known for always making the wiser choice. Well test that theory this week. Butler hit the buzzer-beater to defeat Gonzaga. Our guest picker this week is State and National Editor Dan The ManWiser. look toward the future. When I would do certain things and tell her certain things, I know that she was able to pick it up quick. And thats when I real- ized that she may have a good chance if she stayed at it. Her foray into competitive basketball was nothing short of daunting. Xylina McDaniel entered the Amateur Athletic Union, the highly pressurized youth sports organization that grooms young basketball prodigies. She was 13 years old. Some of the girls were four years older. And taller. And stronger. The demands of AAU primed the emerging post player for life in the NCAA. It kind of gave me a look of what college would be like, she said of AAU games. It just opened up my eyes and showed me what I would be going up against and what I need to work on. The basketball osmosis between Xavier McDaniel and his daughter soon reached its zenith. The summer between seventh and eighth grade, Xylina McDaniels basketball stars began to align, she said. South Carolina scouts paid a visit to her middle school to see her play, her game steadily improved and high school hadnt even begun. All the developing forward did at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina was average north of 18 points and eight rebounds per game, win two state championships, and claim 2012 McDonalds All-American honors. An invitation to play at UNC wasnt far behind. Entering Thursday nights game against Maryland, McDaniel had started all 16 games in which she has appeared and has comman- deered notable UNC team rankings second in scoring average, second in rebounds per game, second in steals per game and second in blocks. Shes been ACC Rookie of the Week four times. Her play stands as one of the reasons UNC has raced out to an 18-2 overall record. The UNC freshman owes much of her success to her father. Away from the court, they enjoy car rides together and eating out. And together, they shared the fruits of those grueling workouts and untold hours of instruction on Nov. 9, 2012 MCDAnieL FROM PAGE 5 at Carmichael Arena, Xylina McDaniel started in her first NCAA game. Her mentor observed from his customary perch in the stands as pupil savored the indelible moment. It took a long time, but when it got there, I was ready, Xylina McDaniel said. It was awesome. Everything she had dreamed? Yes, she said, flashing a smile. It was. Even if a voice sliced through the air and reminded her to get back on defense.

UNC hosts qualier for ITA indoor crown By Max Miceli Staff Writer In the office of North Carolina womens tennis coach Brian Kalbas, numer- ous trophies are lying in vari- ous spots, almost completely filling the rooms open space. But for Kalbas, UNCs past successes mean only one thing for this years Tar Heels. What it does mean is that we get to host this kickoff weekend, Kalbas said. Because UNC ended last season ranked in the top 15, this Saturday the No. 8 Tar Heels have the opportunity to host a quali- fier for the ITA National Indoor Championship in Charlottesville, Va., Feb. 8 to Feb. 11. UNC started its spring season with a strong per- formance Wednesday. The Tar Heels defeated UNC- Greensboro and Elon without losing a team point. But this weekend the team will have to face stiffer com- petition in an Auburn team that boasts two doubles pairs ranked in the top 30. To play them in the first match is going to be a strong test, which were really excited about, Kalbas said. We pride ourselves on being challenged and playing the best. Senior co-captain Gina Suarez-Malaguti said that though the Tar Heels have qualified each of the past three years, qualifying this year is a bigger challenge. The Tar Heels hope to respond to Auburns doubles strength with a top-10 doubles pair of their own in freshmen Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay. Sophomore Caroline Price thinks doubles wins have a potential to translate into confidence that could propel UNC past the Tigers. Even though doubles (are) only one point, since its at the beginning it kind of sets the tone, Price said. If we could show them that were going to be tough, that were going to be solid, and come out strong, it could change the whole rest of the match. Since doubles matches only account for a small portion of the meets final score, the Tar Heels will have to rely heavily on their seven ranked singles players. Suarez-Malaguti said hav- ing such great individual talent on the team is encour- aging. Knowing how good of a team we are, we can set the standard high, Suarez- Malaguti said. Now its down to putting in the work. If UNC wins against Auburn, it will meet the win- ner of a match up between Virginia Commonwealth and DePaul Sunday to determine which team will make the trip to Charlottesville. VCU, DePaul and Auburn all chose to compete in Chapel Hill this weekend, knowing they could eventu- ally face the Tar Heels. But Suarez-Malaguti doesnt think any team should take UNC lightly. I dont want them picking us thinking that we are an easy target, Suarez-Malaguti said. For Price, qualifying this weekend is the next step toward the bigger goal of con- tending for a national cham- pionship. I think its really impor- tant to show all the other top teams we can compete with them and that were a threat, Price said. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

A Tar Heel tradition since 1982 Mon-Wed 11:30am-11pm Thurs-Sat 11:30am-11:30pm Sun Noon-11pm From Page Five Friday, January 25, 2013 The Daily Tar Heel 8 return from a concussion he suffered in December, and undersized sophomore Frank Abbondanza will continue to take his place. Abbondanza, who weighs about 184 pounds and wres- tles in the 197-pound division, struggled in last weeks bout against Virginias Zach Nye, as the match ended in a 15-0 technical fall. Sophomore 141-pounder Evan Henderson said the team stands behind Abbondanza, fighting for him to squeeze out points against larger opponents. Coming from a teammates standpoint, I cant ask anything more of Frank, Henderson said. Were not trying to throw him under the bus, but hes had to take one for the team. The Tar Heels will also be without their usual starters at 133 pounds and 157 pounds, but Mock said Pat Owens and Chris Mears, who will fill those spots, are more than capable of winning. With a mix-and-match roster, the burden on No. 8 Kraisser and No. 7 Henderson is even greater, but Mock believes that the more he expects out of his top wrestlers, the more they will give him. Unfortunately we have some holes, and when youve got some holes in your lineup it means that some of the other guys have to put the pressure on, Mock said. Theyve got to score some points. They cant just be satis- fied with three-point win, and when youre asking freshmen and sophomores to do that youre asking a lot, but theyre obviously fully capable. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com. wrestling from page 5 The Tar Heels got into foul trouble early in the second half, as senior guard Tierra Ruffin-Pratt was called for an offensive foul with 15:50 remaining in the second half. Freshman forward Xylina McDaniel followed suit with her fourth foul less than two minutes later. Second half, we tried to heat it up a little bit and try to match them a little bit with as physical as it was and the intensity, Hatchell said. And all we could do was put them on the foul line. Ruffin-Pratt made nine free throws but shot 3-for-14 from the floor and committed six turnovers. In addition to their strug- gles from deep, the Tar Heels got little help from the post. Center Waltiea Rolle con- tributed just two points in 24 minutes. The Tar Heels held the lead just once, when a jumper by Gross capped an 8-0 run to give UNC an 18-17 lead with 9:39 left in the first half. But the Terrapins respond- ed with a 9-0 run of their own and never looked back. Gross said Marylands sharpshooting rattled the Tar Heels and they never recovered. Our defense has always been so good, so defense is what we relied on, Gross said. Since they were shooting so well, it took us out of our comfort zone since we knew that was what our foundation was defense. And then that kind of overwhelmed us.

By Sarah Ang Staff Writer This weekend, art will help build homes. Mixed Concrete, a show and silent auction of stu- dent art taking place today and Saturday at TRU Deli + Wine, aims to raise money to build houses for families like Quiana Phillips and her two daughters. Phillips is a UNC Campus Health employee, and she and her daughters, ages 3 and 14, are recipients of a Habitat for Humanity house. It means a lot to me, for them to have their artwork and use their talents to help me and my family get into our home, she said. Senior Emily Lucas, UNC Habitat for Humanity co- chairwoman, said Mixed Concrete aims to give back to the community. All the art is from UNC students, all the money is staying in Chapel Hill, and were also trying to connect with local businesses, like TRU, Lucas said. The donations will go toward building and improv- ing community homes, as well as helping to launch A Brush with Kindness a home repair program. Habitat hosted its first Mixed Concrete show last year. The name alludes to the action of mixing concrete for a home and also represents the diversity of the artists and their mediums. Thirty-five UNC student artists have donated almost 100 pieces of work in various mediums. For some students, this is the first time their art is being displayed. This will hopefully bring together very differ- ent groups of people and accomplish something thats rather impressive, said junior Burgess Robinson, co- chairman of UNC Habitat for Humanity. Scott Magness, one of TRUs owners, said that he is excited to partner with Habitat and that TRU will continue to hang artwork after this weekend. Im excited for people to get some good art, to socialize and to give to a good cause, he said. Lucas said she wants people to come admire the art, even if they dont buy anything. Weve talked to the owners about reaching fire capacity, she said. I would love for that to be a problem. Phillips said she and her daughters are looking for- ward to attending their first art show and they are also excited to move into their new home this March. Its wonderful, and its amazing, she said. Im grate- ful that theyre doing this. Phillips said she would not have had a chance to own a house without Habitats help. Yeah, maybe a cardboard house, Phillips said. But to build a house, a real, livable house, thats where the shock comes in wow, you know, this is my house. Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com. SEE THE SHOW Time: Raisin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Clybourne Park at 2 p.m. Sunday Location: Paul Green Theatre Info: http://bit.ly/1ddCbY PlayMakers confronts prejudice in shows dth/becca Goldstein Miriam Hyman plays Beneatha Younger in PlayMakers Repertory Companys production of A Raisin in the Sun. By Josephine Yurcaba Assistant Arts Editor Starting this weekend, PlayMakers Repertory Company will join the conver- sation confronting issues of gentrification in Chapel Hill. It has chosen two plays with the goal of bringing the community closer together. A Raisin in the Sun, writ- ten 50 years ago by Lorraine Hansberry, and Clybourne Park, written by Bruce Norris in 2009 as a response to Raisin, are being performed in rotating repertory through next month. Joseph Haj, producing artis- tic director at PlayMakers, said the plays were chosen because they are a natural rotating repertory, and they have direct connections to Chapel Hill. When we look at the Northside neighborhood and the complications historically around black neighborhoods and gentrification that goes on, these issues fit squarely into the themes of both of these plays, Haj said. Raelle Myrick-Hodges, director of Raisin, said her goal in directing the show was to have people leave with a vivid conception of Hansberry. The production is an homage to a 28-year-old African-American female who was unpublished in 1959, Hodges said. We also pay homage to the diversity of the African- American community by not assuming that this is the archetype of every family. Myrick-Hodges said she hopes Raisin makes people question their beliefs about women, minorities and gen- trification. Our perception of what the female is regardless of ethnicity is generally mis- construed, Myrick-Hodges said. Any black female who isnt a hooker, or a drug addict, or has 15 babies, suddenly you feel as if youre seeing a new character, when very few of the people in my life who are African-American are any of those things. Tracy Young, director of Clybourne Park, said Norris, the plays writer, also intend- ed for his play to make people question their beliefs. Bruce does not want Clybourne Park to be a piece where people can come and be let off the hook or feel overly hopeful about the prognosis for human beings, Young said. He wants the play to confront us and ask us to wrestle with these issues and not live in a fantasy world where these issues are no longer as rel- evant as they have been. Miriam Hyman, who portrays Beneatha Younger in Raisin, said the play not only has themes about race, but it also carries lighter, encouraging themes. People should take away the idea that you dont have to settle, Hyman said. The Younger family doesnt settle for being considered less than in terms of education. Both plays encourage peo- ple to be honest with them- selves about their beliefs, while also introducing humor into the dialogue. Its challenging, because you want to give the audience permission to laugh, Young said. But Norris also wants people to be able to take the blinders off and contend with the realities such as they are. Both directors said they hope the plays bring Chapel Hill closer as a community. My hope is that people leave wanting to communi- cate better with their fami- lies, Myrick-Hodges said. I want them to be more honest about where they are when it comes to race, gender and sexual orientation issues, and owning whatever it is they feel. Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

My letter will not be lengthy, and I will not try to convince anyone of anything. Instead, please let me pose some ques- tions that have never been answered by Mr. Crisp or anyone at the University, which I list as follows: First, why did the University house our daugh- ters abuser in the residence hall directly across the street from her only after she had chosen in early December to speak out about the Universitys treatment of sexual abuse victims? Second, why did no one from the University con- tact our daughter to let her know (a) that our daughters abuser had returned to cam- pus after voluntarily with- drawing when she made her complaint and (b) that he was being housed directly across the street from her? Third, why did it take a public records request from me to get the information that her abuser was being housed across the street from her? Fourth, why has Mr. Crisp refused to answer our ques- tions on the circumstances surrounding the readmis- sion to the University of our daughters abuser? Let us as parents remem- ber that this is not an issue solely about students. This is an issue that faces every parent who sends their child to this University. As par- ents, we cannot we must not let these students fight this battle alone. Parents, I beg you to get involved, and I pray that you will never have to be asking the questions that I am so desperately trying to get answers to now. Stephen Gambill Mooresville, N.C. Hurtful cartoon went against inclusivity TO THE EDITOR: I saw your gun cartoon in Wednesdays paper. I would like to discuss why I feel insulted, alienated and not included in the Carolina community, as demonstrat- ed by this cartoon. This cartoon displays a bias that makes people, such as myself, look ignorant and unintelligent. I enjoy my guns for recreation, but I also have them for protec- tion. I am very proud of my Second Amendment rights. Inclusivity is very impor- tant to Carolina. As gun owners and Carolina stu- dents, we are not ignorant, unintelligent or irresponsi- ble; in fact, we are just like any other Carolina student.

ErikHighsmith, on claims of UNC underreporting sexual assault cases The allegations with respect to the under- reporting of sexual assault are false they are untrue, and they are just plain wrong. Leslie Strohm, on accusations that UNC reported too few cases EDiTOriAl cArTOOn By Daniela Madriz, daniela.madriz@gmail.com Elections matter on all levels I ts that time of year. A fresh batch of juniors, both young and old, decided to play with fire and run for UNC student body president. I already know who I am voting for the one who loves Carolina the most! The Romney/Obama show- down has finally come to a close, and most students are probably more than ready for a break from politics. Juxtaposing the race for the presidency, the most high-pro- file office in the world, against the relatively meager office of UNCs student body president reminds me of a very important principle: local governance. Too often we get caught up in the glitz and glamour of the presidency, myself included. Predictably, candidates run- ning for the U.S. presidency are the best: they run the best campaigns, raise the most money and are the most excit- ing to watch. Just because the 2012 election is over, however, doesnt mean government or elections stop. And it doesnt mean we should stop caring. Its ironic that most Americans care the least about the politicians that most closely serve us. For example, 34 percent of Americans cant name their states governor. In local governance, repre- sentatives can be more respon- sive to their constituents: they are neighbors, friends and colleagues. It also means decentralized governments at the city, county or state level can learn from each other. Its better to experiment with new policies on a smaller scale; show other districts your policy is working so they will adopt it. You see this now as we look at other schools in assessing the chancellors role, compen- sation and responsibility. Local policies can and should affect our lives more closely. Does a farmer in Iowa care about the same things as a software developer in Silicon Valley? With student elections sea- son ramping up, while avoiding petition gatherers in the Pit, students should make note of what this process accomplishes. Student government, while mostly a powerless institution, does give students the chance to try electoral politics, under- stand how elections are won and lost and what it means to govern a constituency. Who knows maybe one day Mr. Leimenstoll will be the first U.S. president to smile no matter what. Full disclosure: Will and I are best friends. Even fuller disclosure: he doesnt know yet. In all seriousness, these stu- dent elections probably wont affect campus policy too much. School elections are a special case, however. Theyre practice grounds. Working to elect a state senator, for example, can do a lot of good, and its much easier to directly influence the process. I dont expect anyone in the class of 2013 to replace David Axelrod right away, but, crucially, the barrier to entry is much lower in local races. So pay attention to local politics, and, if you share my love for liberty and freedom, get involved. If you are a stat- ist, please pretend you didnt read this column. To quote myself: Good cam- paigns win and elections have consequences. Thanks, Obama. 1/28: WHY THE VIOLENCE? Averi Harper reflects on gun violence in black communities.

T he recent decision to move the varsity cheerleading team in front of the student sec- tion at mens basketball games though seem- ingly trivial should be reconsidered. The move, made by UNC varsity cheerleading coach Brown Walters, the marketing department and officials at the Smith Center was intended to help make the student sec- tion appear more full dur- ing winter break games. However, weeks after break, the cheerleaders remain on the court in front of the students even when the student section is completely full. Hark the sound EDiTOriAl Even though the cheer- leading team doesnt take seats away from students, it does obstruct students views. Megaphones and pom-poms can give stu- dents problems seeing the court. Granted, the conve- nience of a few rabid basketball fans is not the most pressing issue at this University. But these students spend hours in line wait- ing in the cold to get the best possible riser seats, in anticipation of a great view and the chance to get on TV. The best seats should go to the most dedicated fans. Now, students who usu- ally want to sit in the ris- ers may opt out of sitting there in anticipation of a hindered view. Walters, along with Carolina Fever and other organizations, has also worked to improve the environment in the Smith Center and he has done a good job of it. The new addition of a student who stands at the front of the student sec- tion with a white board has proven to be effective, allowing for more cohesion within the student section. This sort of interac- tive student engagement improves the atmosphere at little to no cost for students. The intense, advanta- geous atmosphere that Walters has pushed for is something that students should look forward to. A louder Smith Center would benefit students and the team. But mov- ing the cheerleaders and obstructing students views isnt the way to do it. Rethink moving cheerleaders in front of the risers. E arlier this month, the Chapel Hill Town Council voted against a motion to repeal last years ordi- nance banning cellphone use in cars. The town council should reconsider and repeal this impractical ordinance. The council has been instructed many times over the last year that the ordinance, which bans both handheld and hands-free Theyre not answering EDiTOriAl calling, was unenforceable. In August, a Superior Court judge said as much when he overturned the ban, citing the inability of police to enforce it. Yet the town council continues to waste the towns resources by pursuing legal action to appeal the courts ruling. Before the ban was passed, the council received a letter from the N.C. Attorney Generals Office informing it that the town did not have the ability to enforce a ban. Confusingly, the town council proceeded to pass the ordinance. The ordinance origi- nally was passed with good intentions. But, this groups continued attempts to fight a losing legal battle does noth- ing but waste time and resources. Moreover, dropping the appeal would give the town council the ability to lobby state legislators to pursue a statewide proposal. A ban would certainly make the roads of Chapel Hill safer. But the Chapel Hill Town Council needs to drop its stubborn pur- suit of an unenforceable ban. Wasting town money and resources does not benefit residents. The Town Council should drop appeal on cellphone ban. T he Board of Governors should prioritize and maintain the community college transfer pipeline that is outlined in its five- year strategic plan when it meets in the first week of February. Moreover, this year, the N.C. General Assembly should approve necessary funding that will support the community college transfer pipeline. According to the strate- gic plan, the community college transfer pipeline will promote access to higher education and strengthen the states ability to meet its needs through a cadre of well- Promoting access SEriES On THE Unc SYSTEmS STrATEgic PlAn educated employees. This will smooth the transition between attend- ing community college and one of the UNC sys- tems campuses, enabling more students to graduate with a four-year university degree. The action steps out- lined in the strategic plan focus on improving the efficient transfer of course credit between colleges and creating Transfer and Adult Student Success offices at each system campus. With these sorts of initiatives, the strategic plan aims to help the state become one of the top 10 most educated states by 2025. Given the states recent emphasis on research and technology, this seems to be a logical step. Critics might argue that the state does not need more university graduates, but rather, it needs to focus on strengthening its techni- cal and vocational schools. However, widening access to a university education will quicken the states transition from a manufacturing-based economy to a service- based economy. Therefore, the Board of Governors should main- tain this pipeline, and the Republican-dominated N.C. General Assembly shouldnt succumb to any pressures it might feel to minimize funding for this important initiative. Any step to increase access to university educa- tion without compromis- ing the quality of that edu- cation is a step that needs to be taken. Community college transfer pipeline is good for N.C.
