Carolinas
border
dispute
resolved
There are 173 landowners
who might be impacted by
the Carolinas border shift.
By Tatyana Berdan
Staff Writer

Trees might live a long time, but they


do die and as it turns out, state borders can die with them.
The original state line between North
and South Carolina was noted with
glaze marks on trees roughly every mile
along the border nearly 300 years ago.
Trees dont live forever, and so
certainly the ones that were marked in
1735 to 1737 theyre all dead, said
Stephen Kelly, a visiting professor at
Duke Universitys Sanford School of
Public Policy. And when they died, they
took the exact location of the boundary
with them.
A joint boundary commission from
North and South Carolina has been
working to redefine and reestablish the
official state border since 1993, and now
they are preparing to present the finalized border to both state governments
in January.
But the shift is not without consequences, as a few property owners might
soon find themselves in another state.
Kelly, who teaches a class on U.S. borders, said the joint boundary commission began its work after Duke Energy
approached the two states to sell them
land that straddled the state line
and neither North Carolina nor South
Carolina was sure of the exact location.
That is what brought home to both
states that, You know what, we dont
exactly know where the boundary is
not just here out West, but the entire
334-mile boundary between the two
states is equally fuzzy, he said.
Julia Jarema, spokeswoman for the
N.C. Department of Public Safety, said
that in most segments of the boundary,
the changes had little impact.
It may be that the state border was
on the right side of the tree, and (the
property owner) thought it was on the
left side of the tree, she said. It doesnt
really make any difference.
But the reestablishment of the state
line does have consequences for a few
affected residents and business owners one doctor with an N.C. medical
license has discovered that most of his
house, where he sometimes practices, is
now in South Carolina, Kelly said.
The joint commission sent letters to
173 landowners who they felt might be
impacted by the shift in the boundary.
Kelly said the commission is currently working on creating a package of bills
that aim to mediate the effects of the
change with regards to issues like taxes,
voting and education. One potential
bill would allow students to continue
attending their current school, even if
the boundary places them in another
district.
Gary W. Thompson, chief of the
North Carolina Geodetic Survey, said
his office worked with its South Carolina
counterpart and private surveyors to
redefine the state line and reported their
progress to the joint boundary commission for approval.
He said his office used old colonial
documents, maps and land grants, combined with modern surveying technology and satellite images to assess the
location of the original boundary.
It was a total team effort from the
very beginning, he said.
By overlaying old colonial maps with
modern satellite images, Kelly said,
surveyors were able to use the shapes of
certain plots of land to reestablish the
state line.
Basically, it was a combination of old
fashioned detective work and historical
research, he said.

When the elderly wander


As the population ages, more elderly are going missing
By Graves Ganzert
Senior Writer

The number of folks


being diagnosed
with dementia
and Alzheimers
are growing
every day...
To say this
number is
growing,
I see that
this can be
a potential
county
problem.

An elderly Chapel Hill man was found


Monday after being missing for three days
a scenario that is not all that uncommon in
Orange County.
On Friday, 90-year-old Richard Silva went
missing from the Carol Woods Retirement
Community on Weaver Diary Road.
Police believe he suffers from dementia or a
cognitive impairment.
Silva was located on Monday in a wooded
area near Interstate 40. He was taken to UNC
Hospitals for a precautionary evaluation.
There have been 11 reports of missing persons over the age of 65 since 2008 in Orange
County, according to data from the Orange
County Sheriff s Department.
Orange Countys Sgt. Butch Clark said there
are more and more people developing dementia
or cognitive impairments, which could increase
the number of elderly people who get lost.
Clark said the county is always looking for
ways to prevent that from happening.
The number of folks being diagnosed with
dementia and Alzheimers are growing everyday, he said.
To say this number is growing, I see that
this can be a potential county problem.
Clark said the problem is widespread.
It is a nationally growing problem based
off of the growing number of elderly with
dementia and Alzheimers, he said.
Janice Tyler, director of the Orange County
Department on Aging, said the department
works to better the lives of the elderly, families
and caregivers.
She said issues regarding transportation and
housing may be contributing to the number of
elderly people being reported as missing or lost.
Transportation is a big issue for older adults
needing to get up and drive, she said.
Its difficult to live in an area that is walking
friendly. We are currently planning for housing
that is more convenient in location.
Mary Fraser, administrator for the Orange
County Department on Aging, said the county,

9/11 witness speaks at DiPhi


R.C. Mulcahy wrote
a book to honor the
victims of the attack.

The ESPN analyst spoke during a


panel Wednesday night.

By Langston Taylor
Assistant University Editor

The author of a new novel


about the Sept. 11 attack on
the World Trade Center told a
group of about 20 UNC students Wednesday that he never
intended to write a book.
R. C. Mulcahy, whose
work One From Two was
published in December, was
working at the Newport
Financial Center in Jersey
City, N.J., when he saw the
buildings go down, he told
the small crowd in New West
during an evening presentation hosted by the Dialectic
and Philanthropic Societies.
It was really as a way to
honor those who have fallen,
Mulcahy said.
Rather than a memoir or
nonfiction book, the author
said he wrote a novel that
uses characters as an analogy
for the history of the towers,
because it was the easiest way
to reconcile his experiences.
There are no words to
describe how I was feeling, he said. The only way
I was able to articulate my
thoughts, in the most coherent way, is to write a novel.
The one word he would use
to express the scene, he said,
was surreal.
There was nothing but
disbelief, he said.
Freshman Ranald Adams,
who was in the crowd, lived in
Brooklyn as a child and said

he was in school that day just


a few blocks away from the

There was a lot of confusion and fear, Adams said.
Adams said his mother

school through ash in the
streets, he said. There arent
a lot of times when Ive seen

Mulcahy spoke for about
20 minutes, then spent

HONOR 9/11 EVENTS:


To honor those lost in the
9/11 terrorist attacks, several
campus organizations are
hosting events for students
today:

Christians United for


Israel is hosting an event
called Reflections on 9/11
with keynote speaker Gary
Bauer, president of American
Values, at 7 p.m. in Gerrard
Hall.

The College Republicans will place flags on the


quad for students to view
throughout the day.

Veterans, cadets and


UNC Army ROTC staff will
run 2,071 steps at 6 a.m. in
Kenan Memorial Stadium
to commemorate the 2,071
steps that were in the World
Trade Center towers.

We have emerged stronger and more unified.


Rudy Giuliani

Jay Bilas, an ESPN college basketball analyst, isnt shy to admit he profits from studentathletes but he said that doesnt make him
ignore their exploitation by the NCAA and the
universities they represent.
When you are making money off of someone
while at the same time restricting them from
making money, you are by definition exploiting
them, Bilas said at a panel Wednesday.
Bilas sat on the panel with UNC Professor
Barbara Osborne, Associate Director of
Athletics Paul Pogge and lawyer Ken Hammer
in the Blue Zone at Kenan Memorial Stadium.
UNC School of Laws Sports and
Entertainment Association and Campbells
Sports and Entertainment Law Society hosted
the event.
In August, a judge ruled in favor of former
UCLA basketball player Ed OBannon, in the
federal anti-trust case of OBannon v. NCAA,
prohibiting the NCAA from enforcing any rules
that would disallow Division I football or mens
basketball teams from making money off their
recruits image, likeness or name.
The athletes are the ones that have to
make the sacrifice, Bilas said. No coach is
taking a discount so we can have wrestling; no
administrator is taking a discount so we can
have a really good womens lacrosse program.
But student-athletes are already receiving
extra benefits, said Osborne, an adjunct sports
law professor.
The education that a person receives,
through participation in athletics, is something that is valuable, Osborne said.

Stick a fork in it, meatball guy

From staff and wire reports

ollege students know a thing or two about protecting their


food. Sometimes, its a huge challenge to part with those hardearned cheese fries or late-night pizza slices. But one man
in Maryland took his food-sharing aversion to another level
this week when he stabbed his colleague in the arm for eating one of his
meatballs a move that had apparently ruined his lunch beyond repair.
Police were called to the scene, and the meatball thief-turned-victim was
hospitalized and later discharged. The meatball-loving assailant, on the
other hand, fled the scene. The lesson here? Stabbing someone for eating
a meatball is kind of an Andy Bernard-style overreaction and its also
one of the least compelling reasons to become an outlaw.
NOTED. A man in Florida was charged
with burglary and sent to jail on Monday,
despite failing to properly steal anything.
The would-be thief fell asleep on the job
and was found on a bed with a bag of jewelry beside him. He finally woke up but
not before deputies had arrived and taken
photos. Talk about a rude awakening.

QUOTED. He had an opportunity to take


it ... and he did.
Sgt. Ryan Smith, speaking about a
9-year-old Canadian boy who stole a city
bus and took it on a brief joy ride. No one
was injured, and the boy, who was stylishly wearing pajamas at the time, wont face
charges because of his age. Ah, youth.

Durham cuts ties with Teach For America


The districts school board cited
teacher turnover as a concern.
By Nick Niedzwiadek
Senior Writer

Teach For America has been on UNCs


campus this week trying to recruit students
to join its postgraduate teaching program
but Durham Public Schools will no longer be
among the potential destinations.
The districts school board voted Aug. 28
not to renew its contract with the program,
citing concerns of high teacher turnover. The
program recruits college graduates to teach
for at least two years in underperforming and
low-income districts.
Studies have shown Teach For America is as
effective as traditional new teachers, but they
often do not persist with teaching and improve
after the two-year period, said Heidi Carter,
board chairwoman for the Durham district.

Those already placed at the school will finish


their commitment, but the district will end ties
with the program for the 2016-17 school year.
Carter said the decision was primarily driven
by the boards preference to spend money developing teachers who are looking to educate for a
career as opposed to a temporary commitment.
Becky ONeill, spokeswoman for Teach For
America in North Carolina, said schools pay
the organization $3,000 per teacher each year,
as well as the teachers salary.
Durham schools employ 12 teachers from
the program and there are 500 statewide,
she said. But it is not unusual for schools to stop
receiving teachers from the program, she said.
Every year we keep an ebb and flow, though
usually on the side of growth, ONeill said.
Especially in North Carolina, we always have
more demand than we could ever hope to fill.
Carter said the school district is hoping to
redirect the Teach For America money toward
reinstating a mentorship program, where veteran teachers help those starting their careers.

We think its of vital importance and one of


the most exciting decisions weve done since
Ive been on the board, Carter said.
She said the district will not receive any state
money to help pay for the mentorship program.
Another critiqued aspect of Teach For
America, Carter said, was the relatively short
training period five weeks for teachers
before they were placed in the classroom.
Board members said the most under-served
student populations would be taught by the
least experienced teachers, she said.
Some felt those students should be taught
by our best teachers, not our newest, she said.
She said the board prefers the model of
the N.C. Teaching Fellows program, because
it incorporates more formal training, as well
as a five-year commitment in North Carolina
public schools.
But the N.C. General Assembly phased out
state funding for the Teaching Fellows scholarship in 2013 and allocated $6 million annually
to Teach For America.

Students pressure Folt to


sign Bangladeshi Alliance

UNC is consistently one of the most represented schools among the Teach For America
corps and has 65 graduates entering its
most recent class, ONeill said.
Briana Jackowski, a 2013 UNC graduate with
a biology degree, is in her second year teaching
in Detroit through Teach For America.
She said she plans on teaching for longer
than the required two years.
My experience in the program has been
really great, she said. I have had a lot of support and met great people. Teaching is difficult,
but Ive been fortunate to have a lot of support.
Jacquelyn Gist, assistant director at University
Career Services, acts as an on-campus liaison for
Teach For America and said the program is very
beneficial to participating K-12 schools.
I know there is a lot of political swirl going
on, she said, But at the end of the day, our
students are going in and making a difference
in kids lives.

alleged assault among players.

Members of SAW hung a banner at the Old Well on Wednesday in hopes of gaining the attention of Chancellor Folt and UNC students.

The group hung a banner on the Old Well Wednesday


By Jane Wester
Assistant University Editor

Student Action with Workers brought its


cause directly to the eyes of South Building
Wednesday by hanging a banner on the
Old Well.
The banner pressured University administrators to cut UNCs licensing ties with VF
Corporation, an apparel company that refuses
to sign the Bangladesh Safety Accord. Two
Department of Public Safety officers asked
students to take the banner down because of
complaints from South Building.
The Bangladesh Safety Accord, a legally
binding agreement to improve worker conditions, was motivated by factory disasters
in Bangladesh over the past ten years and a
historically large factory collapse a year and
a half ago.
It kind of forced people to start paying
attention to the horrible working conditions
in Bangladesh. It started getting workers
angry enough to go out into the streets and
protest, senior Olivia Abrecht said.
So, in solidarity with them, students
all across the country have been demand-

ing that their universities cut the contracts


with any apparel producer that makes their
clothing in Bangladesh and doesnt sign
onto an accord on fire and building safety.
Albrecht said the accord requires independent inspections and basic safety standards such as sprinklers.
Were demanding all these universities
require the accord as a condition of having a
contract with the university, Abrecht said.
Sophomore Richard Lindayen said the size
of VF Corp., which makes apparel for brands
such as The North Face, Wrangler and Vans,
makes it essential for them to sign the accord.
They are one of the primary largest
companies that are refusing to sign the
accord right now, Lindayen said.
Altha Cravey, geography professor and
SAW faculty advisor, has served on the
Licensing Labor Code Advisory Committee,
which urged Chancellor Carol Folt to push
VF Corp. to sign the Accord at the end of the
spring semester. Cravey was not on the committee when the recommendation was made.
Before taking action, Folt also met with
the CEO of the Greensboro-based VF Corp.,
Eric Wiseman.

What she did was, the next day, she


passed the buck to (UNC-system President)
Tom Ross, Cravey said.
Earlier this month, SAW members went
to Ross house to present a letter asking for
a meeting; Ross, was not home when the
group came.
SAW members said the controversy has
made them question the Universitys status
as a moral institution.
By not cutting their contract with VF, its
like they are being hypocritical. You cant
support justice and freedom only when its
convenient, freshman Ebony Watkins said.
Abrecht said SAW will continue to escalate
its campaign until the University takes action.
Now its Tom Ross decision and its system-level whether they require the accord
for all licensees of the entire UNC-system,
but Chancellor Folt still has the power to cut
VF Corporation, Abrecht said.
Senior Catherine Crowe said SAW hung the
banner in view of Folts office windows and
stressed the importance of immediate action.
A fire could happen any day.

More than two weeks after four football


players were suspended for violating a team
policy when they were accused of assaulting a redshirt freshman on the team, the
Department of Public Safety has acknowledged
the incident might have occurred.
As part of its compliance with the Clery
Act, the Department of Public Safety recorded
an allegation of aggravated assault on Aug. 8.
The Clery Act requires universities to publish
campus security policies and crime statistics,
maintain a daily crime log and provide timely
warnings about ongoing threats to students.
Chapel Hill (Police Department) is the investigating agency, and we record it as a Clery allegation of aggravated assault, said Randy Young,
a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.
Its an administrative record that is produced
solely as part of our reporting requirements ...
Were not investigating that incident.
In August, Yahoo News reported that a
group of North Carolina football players hazed
and assaulted wide receiver Jackson Boyer.
Later that week, defensive backs Brian Walker,
Donnie Miles, Des Lawrence and M.J. Stewart
were suspended during the season opener
against Liberty University.
Boyer could not be reached for comment.
Steve Kirschner, a spokesman for the
Department of Athletics, said the office of the
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs is investigating the incident. Representatives from student
affairs did not respond to requests for comment.
The Department of Public Safetys administrative report redacts names of the students
involved in the allegation. The report said the
allegation was filed on Aug. 8 after the assault
occurred at the Aloft Hotel on Aug. 4.
We are aware of the situation and are cooperating with University officials as needed,
said Taylor Newsome, a spokesman for the
Aloft Hotel. The safety of all guests is a priority and as this is a current investigation, we
cannot offer any additional details at this time.
No victims have come forward to press
charges or even file a report with the Chapel
Hill Police Department, said Lt. Josh
Mecimore, a spokesman for the department.
Chapel Hill Police would be responsible for
investigating the report because it happened
off campus.
But Police Chief Chris Blue was made aware
an incident might have occurred. It was reported by third-party informants, Mecimore said.
We communicate with the University frequently about various things, and whether I
know about something ahead of time isnt the
same as whether we have a report or investigation, Mecimore said.

UNCs diverse defensive line continues to display growth


Only one starter on the
defensive line returned
from the 2013 season.
By Aaron Dodson
Senior Writer

A true freshman whos now


focused just on football after also
being a wrestler and shot-putter in
high school. A redshirt freshman
who sat out all of 2013. A redshirt
sophomore whos only lived in the
United States for four years. And a
father figure senior looking to put a
rough past behind him.
The North Carolina football
teams defensive line is unique in
every aspect of the word.
It features young, raw talent,
unlike the lines of the past which
have typically boasted NFL-ready
players and veteran leadership.
After graduating senior defensive ends Tim Jackson and Kareem
Martin, UNC defensive line coach

Keith Gilmore had to restock the


anchor of the teams 4-2-5 scheme.
In UNCs first two games of 2014,
Gilmore used nine different lineman.
This year, its a lot more balanced, Gilmore said. A lot more
equal playing time. Everybodys
involved, and that lends to some
good chemistry.
Senior defensive tackle Ethan
Farmer is the unquestionable leader
of the group. He started in all 13 of
UNCs games in 2013, but faced academic ineligibility heading into the
2014 season. Just two days before
the season opener against Liberty,
the NCAA cleared Farmer to play.
Ethans been a great leader,
Gilmore said. Hes been a guy whos
taken the bull by the horns and forced
these young guys to step up and play
to the level that they need to.
Starting along with Farmer
are junior defensive tackle Justin
Thomason and defensive end Dajaun
Drennon. As a redshirt freshman,
Drennon won the starting job in the
offseason over redshirt sophomore

Junior Gnonkonde, whos still developing his skills on the field after moving from Africa in 2010.
Drennon leads the defensive
line with eight tackles and is the
first freshman defensive lineman to
start for UNC since Martin in 2010.
Drennon said hes benefited from
the senior leadership of Farmer and
was pushed by Gnonkonde, who
plays behind him, to get better in
training camp.
The chemistry on the line is lovely. Were all friends on and off the
field, Drennon said. Theres no beef
between starters and (backups).
True freshman defensive lineman
Tyler Powell has been a go-to option
in the defenses money package. As
a wrestler in high school, Powell
had to worry about cutting weight.
Hes now focused on putting on the
pounds, which he hopes will help
him see more time on the field.
(The Liberty) game was the most
important for me, getting out there,
getting on the field for the first time
and getting the feel for the pace of

the game, Powell said.


No matter how different the
pieces might be, UNCs defensive
line thrives off the chemistry built in
Gilmores fresh, committee approach.

They all have a role, Gilmore

Holness debuts with


Jamaican national team
Omar Holness played
in his first national
team game Tuesday.
By Carlos Collazo
Assistant Sports Editor

Before coming to North


Carolina, sophomore midfielder Omar Holness was in
Jamaica, honing his soccer
skills with Wolmers Boys
School and logging time with
the Jamaican under-17 and
under-20 teams.
Holness captained the 2011
U-17 World Cup team and
was a vice captain of the 2013
U-20 team that missed the
World Cup.
Last week though, Holness
received a phone call from

The Daily Tar Heel

head coach of the Jamaican


national team. He wanted
Holness to travel to Toronto
with the team when they took
on Canada Tuesday.
Actually, to be honest with
you, when the coach called
me I was just completely
blown back, Holness said.
I was blown away. I actually
thought it was a prank call
at first. So I said to myself,
Wait, no, this isnt the head
coach of the national team.
And he was like, Yes, Omar.
This is Winfried Schafer, this
is the coach.
What Holness thought was
a joke quickly became one of
the biggest moments of his
soccer career.
I didnt really have any
expectations really of getting in
the game, he said. I mean, I
was ready though, I was really
prepared to get in and help the
team as much as I could. But
when the coach called on me
to go warm up, I said to myself,
Yes this is it. This is it.
While Holness played just
11 minutes toward the end of
Jamaicas 3-1 loss to Canada,
he said he gained a lot from
the opportunity and he is
determined to bring that back
to Chapel Hill to help his
teammates this season.
Youre playing with pro
players, professional players,
he said. The level of play and
the pace of the game is intense.
It was really fast, so I definitely
take from that. Ill relay it on to
my fellow teammates.
(My) experience at that
level, I can definitely relate on
to my fellow teammates. The
level of confidence Ive gained
from this experience just
the growth process.
Holness development and
growth on the field and as a
leader fits in well with a 2014
soccer team that features
returning starters at nearly
every position. Fifth-year
senior forward Andy Craven
said that maturity will help
the team this season.
We have an experienced

dth file/spencer herlong


Sophomore midfielder Omar Holness traveled with the Jamaican
national team to Toronto to play against Canada on Tuesday.

When the coach called on me to go warm


up, I said to myself, Yes... this is it. This is it.
Omar Holness,
Sophomore midfielder and Jamaican national team player

and more mature group of


players than last year, he
said. And were using the
majority of the team that we
had last year so its not like a
whole different team.
When he was a freshman,
Holness started 17 games and
was tied for third for most
goals scored on the team with
seven points. This season, he
should be a regular contributor in the midfield.
For Coach Carlos
Somoano, the biggest thing
for Holness now is making

sure that he is rested and


ready for the ACC opener
against Pittsburgh Friday
night.
The biggest concern
for that is just his personal
exhaustion, he said. He came
back Sunday night, traveled
Monday morning, came back
Wednesday. But hell get some
rest. Well give him a couple
days here to recover.
But he deserves that
opportunity. Hes earned it.

Artist to bring limestone animals to library


The Chapel Hill Town
Council awarded
the bid Monday.
By Samantha Sabin
Senior Writer

Four limestone sculptures


of animals from childrens
tales by North Carolina sculptor Todd Frahm will soon
grace the front roundabout at
the Chapel Hill Public Library
on North Estes Drive.
The Chapel Hill Town
Council authorized a contract
with Frahm on the recommendation of the towns
Public Arts Commission at its
meeting Monday, kickstarting
Frahms project.
The animals are kind of
whimsical, and they have
relationships to Aesops Fables
and other childrens fables,
said Jeffrey York, public arts
administrator for Chapel Hill.
But theyll also serve as seating and help define that area
so that programs can start
being held outside in good
weather and people can start
hanging out outside.
Daniel Cefalo, vice chair
of the towns Public Art
Commission, said the unveiling date has not been set
for the pieces, but the commission is hoping for the

late spring or early summer


months.
Frahms sculptures will be
carved out of 40-by-40 inch
limestone cubes. In his proposal to the librarys art selection committee, Frahm said
the final pieces would allow
children to safely perch, play,
nestle and read on the sculptures, while serving as seating
for adults. The sculptures will
weigh about 1,100 pounds
total and will require a crane
to put them in place.The
space where the library will
be putting these has no seating of any kind, Frahm said.
I imagine these things will
be used as seating by adults,
and as visual representation of storybook characters
by children, so theyll have
something to climb on, something to reference for animals
from a particular story.
Frahm was one of two artists selected out of a pool of
about 235 interested artists
for the library project, York
said. The selection process
started in November 2013
and each artist was officially
selected in February.
Hes extremely talented.
He has been around and his
art was in public venues,
Cefalo said. There was really
a nice comfort level in knowing he had had his work in
public places.

The animals are kind of whimsical, and


they have relationships to Aesops Fables
Jeffrey York,
Public arts administrator for Chapel Hill

Frahms project falls under


the towns Percent for Art
Ordinance, which was established in March 2002. It
allocates 1 percent of selected
capital projects for the creation, installation and maintenance of permanent works
of public art.
The second artists library
project, currently budgeted
for about $130,000, took
up most of the Percent for
Art funds for the 2013 to
2014 fiscal year, York said.
Therefore, the committee had
to get creative when it came
to funding Frahms $40,000
project. Frahms sculptures
will pull $9,500 from the current Percent for Art budget,
$5,000 from the Percent for
Art fund and $25,500 from
the Unrestricted Library Gift
funds.
York said the Percent for
Art fund is a $14,000 pool
for any future public art projects, where small surpluses
from past years budgets are
reserved such as leftovers
of $200 or $300, which
arent enough to fund an
entire project.

Frahm will receive


$26,900 for his labor, according to the budget presented
to the council. The remaining
money will go toward materials and equipment.
When the project is
installed, Frahm said he hopes
people enjoy the artwork.
I want kids to be able to
interact with them, he said.
I want people to be able
to touch them, sit on them,
enjoy them.

UNC team tracks Ebola stats with site


By Wei Zhou
Staff Writer

UNC students and recent


graduates worked with the
Liberian government and
American scholars to develop
the website Ebola in Liberia,
which tracks data of the
Ebola outbreak in Liberia.
The data tracks the
number of cases of Ebola,
the number of deaths and
the breakdown of the cases
that are probable, suspected,
and confirmed, said Alison
Blaine, a graduate student
in the School of Information
and Library Science.

Blaine is on the Crisis


Development Team for the
website, which launched
Monday.
After reading the news
about the Ebola outbreak,
and knowing how urgent the
crisis was when I received
emails from Professor King
about an opportunity to assist
the government of Liberia
I definitely wanted to help
with the project because of its
importance, she said.
Steven King, a professor
in the journalism school and
development director for the
website, said about 10 students and recent graduates

are involved in the project.


He said the Ministry of
Information, Cultural Affairs
and Tourism of Liberia
reached out to his colleague
Ken Harper, a professor at
Syracuse Universitys S.I.
Newhouse School of Public
Communications, who asked
him to assist with the project.
Harper said when the
Liberian government asked
him to help, he quickly thought
of partnering with King, who
immediately wanted to help.
God has blessed me some
talents, and I am happy to
share those with other people
if they can stop their suffering

and less people have the disease, King said.


King said the goal of the
project is to provide information for the public and key
decision makers.
Casey Miller is the senior
developer of the project. She
graduated from UNC in May
and is currently working at
the Wall Street Journal.
She said the website was
submitted to the President of
Liberia quickly so he could
take advantage of the information before the official launch.
The information on the
website is important because
it will reduce public fear of

the disease, Harper said.


Without information, its
even more terrifying if you
dont know whats happening,
so we are doing our best to
empower people with information and work collaboratively
to provide solutions, he said.
The websites data is provided by Liberias Ministry
of Health and Social Welfare
and Ministry of Information
in partnership with Center
for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Since the situation in Liberia
is getting worse, Harper said
its important to finish the project as soon as possible. Next,

DTH office is open Mon-Fri 8:30am-5:00pm

the team will integrate the data


with a system provided by the
Center for Disease Control to
update in real time.
King said he hopes the
data will eventually be able
to predict where the disease
might move next and prevent
its further spread.
We are looking for new
funding opportunities to be
able to expand the size, make
it to go to all other countries
with the disease as well as to
be able to add some features
to do some predictive modeling, he said.

as well as the country, must


prepare to adjust care and
take preventative measures
for the elderly demographic.
She said the Life Track
program is a great start.
I think that it is very useful to families trying to keep
their loved ones safe, she
said.
This offers a safety precaution.
Clark said the Life Track
program does not monitor individuals but has the
ability to track them using
a bracelet that emits an FM
signal.
This program brings a
peace of mind to the family
and the caregivers, he said.
It is a safety net.
He said this program is
free for any individual who
has been diagnosed with a
cognitive impairment disease
or condition and requires a
24-hour caregiver.
Its one solution to help
with this problem, Tyler
said.
If there are families within
our community that have
individuals with cognitive
impairment, we encourage
them to also come to us for
help.
Fraser said that by embracing these technological
advancements, people with
impaired cognitive abilities
can continue to enjoy their
independence.
There is no reason to
not use technology for the
benefit of individuals that
are living at home with their
family, instead of having
them live in an institution,
Fraser said.
Fraser said one in five
Americans will be over the
age of 65 by 2030. This rapid
transition in population in
regards to age especially
affects Orange County, she
said.
Since Orange County is
a retirement destination, we
expect more elderly to arrive
to our area, she said.
Tyler said the county
should be ready to accommodate a growing number of
senior citizens.
Just by the sheer number
of older individuals, we have
developed a growing older
demographic in the county,
Tyler said.
Ryan Comfort, an academic advisor at UNC, said
he and his partner recently
encountered an elderly man
who had gotten lost from his
home.
Together we went back
out to find him, he said in an
email.
After a few minutes talking to the lost man, with all
three of us trying to figure
out where he lived, I called
the Chapel Hill Police to
give us a hand in getting him
home.
It was beyond what we
could do to help, but I knew
that the police would be to get
him home safely.
Comfort said this issue is
important to the county and
to his culture.
As technology advances to
combat this issue, Comfort
said he hopes human-tohuman care and compassion
will always be the most effective solution.
In Ojibwe culture, my
culture, elders hold the
highest, most respected
standing in the community,
and the whole community
works to support them, he
said.
My grandmother has
Alzheimers, and I know
that if she had went out for
a walk and became lost that
someone would stop to help
her.

It is something that really

he said.
Warshauer said he was
slightly disappointed that
more students didnt attend.
We tried to publicize. Its
not a huge crowd, he said,
adding that he was happy the
event wasnt too crowded.
Mulcahy, who will continue
his book tour Thursday at the
University of Virginia, said it
is essential that students keep

victims in mind.

athletes in revenue sports.


Osborne said she thinks
paying athletes isnt necessary.
Athletes are a third party
beneficiary of the relationship between them and the
school, Osborne said. The
university invests a ton of
time, energy and money into
them so they can perform.
While the other three panel-

The real
source
of all
misery

NEXT

he first thing an incoming freshman learns


about UNC is that
ConnectCarolina sucks: dropdown menus, 130 or more
results cannot be displayed, random loading times and so on.
I like to blame The Man
for this. Those out-of-touch
administrators. They just
dont care. Yes, we have to use
ConnectCarolina, even though
there are a million other, better
interfaces that I just Googled.
Stuffy bureaucrats.
Really, its just more complicated than that.
First, ConnectCarolina
is not just for grades. Its a
very big database. Within
ConnectCarolina are thousands
of billing records, social security
numbers and a trove of Family
Educational Rights and Privacy
Act-protected data. Under that
rusty car exterior, its filled with
financial and payroll information for every member of the
UNC staff, faculty, administration and student body.
Secondly, there are issues
of motivation. There are 877
people at UNC in information
technology positions; of those,
about 50 are actively working
on different components of
ConnectCarolina.
But they didnt create it,
and having a bunch of people
tinker with a very complex
code base manufactured by
an outside company (more on
that later) carries deeper risks.
While a Silicon Valley-based
tech company ought to have
user experience as one of its
top priorities, Information
Technology Services top priority is to not be on the front
page of The New York Times
for a student data leak.
And, since the company
behind ConnectCarolina is planning on rolling out a new user
interface in 2015-16 anyway,
why would they bother?
Generally, technology in a
governmental institution is not
centrally controlled. In a company, you have executives that
control everything. Or something like that. I hope.
UNC doesnt have that kind
of central nervous system.
The 877 IT people include
everyone from the chief information officer to the webmaster for the General Alumni
Association to the ResNet
guys.
Different parties want to
control their own technology,
so the CIO of a university cannot just tell the webmaster of
the GAA what to do because
hes not really his boss.
Then there is the fact that
most of UNCs technology was
created by outside companies.
Email? Microsoft. Class websites? Sakai. ConnectCarolina?
Oracle. This is necessary when
you have a thousand different needs to fill across a huge
institution like UNC. Building
every one of our fundamental
resources in-house invites in a
whole new trove of problems.
But, naturally, those companies have more control and
understanding of their own
product than a particular
member of ITS does. And if
a company does not want to
update it
despite our collective frustration?
Well, ITS cant really do
anything with a set contract
and transitioning to another
vendor is a disorganized mess
in itself.
So, yeah. Its pretty much
The Man.

Editorial

Students deserve better


The legislative
branch should seek
consistency.

tudent Congress
is one of the three
branches that delivers on the promise of
self governance for UNC
students a promise to,
in the words of the student code, enrich each
students experience at
the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Lately, the student
legislative body has had
trouble living up to that
promise.
The realities of this
commitment are often
blurred between student
government representatives obligation to students and the code under
which they are bound
to operate. For the sake
of the betterment of the
campus, members of
Student Congress ought to
rededicate themselves to
the spirit of pursuing the
student bodys interests.
Student Congress is
bound to operate under
the UNC student code a
100-plus-page document
that details procedures
for everything from the
amount of money certain
groups on campus may
receive according to the
nature of the group, to the
manner in which executive
branch nominations are
carried out and confirmed.
The trouble with
Student Congress relationship to the student
code, to put it simply, is
a lack of consistency. For
example, under section
103, The minutes of all
Student Congress meet-

ings shall be published


to the Student Congress
website no later than
seven days after approval
by the Student Congress.
Unfortunately, upon visiting the Student Congress
website, no such minutes
are found. The last minutes
Student Congress posted
were from April 2013.
Regarding the appointment process, which
Student Congress oversees,
Congress members recently
decided during the meeting
itself to block a well-qualified appointee for the solicitor general position within
the judicial branch because
of a minute discrepancy
within the Student Code
determining how many
positions legal officers may
hold.
Recently, Student
Congress has come under
fire because of inconsistencies within the methods used to allocate funds
to student groups. Groups
that received certain
amounts of money last
spring faced drastic budget cuts this fall without
warning.
Many groups of 25 students or fewer received
less than 60 percent of
their requested budgets.
Other groups were forced
to cut food expenses out
of their requested budget, as mandated under
Title V of the Student
Code. But Honor System
Outreach, a branch of
student government, was
awarded money for food
just this week a clear
violation of the student
code.
Turnover within
Congress each year surely
contributes to inconsis-

tent interpretation of the


student code. Congress
replaces many, if not most,
of its members every year
a practice obviously not
conducive to enforcing
policies consistently and
presenting a stable front
to the student body.
The state of Student
Congress may be
described as a sort of quiet
ineptitude. It has yet to
produce front-page scandals or be criticized by any
loud voices on campus,
something many other
groups on campus cannot
say about themselves. But
with multiple members of
Congress yet to show up to
a vote this year, the group
is far from perfect.
One cause of the lack
of commitment among
Congress members could
be the manner in which
representatives are elected. Members are elected
according to housing
districts.
Because so few students
live in the same place from
year to year, many representatives are elected to
represent a housing district they wont call home
during their term. This
causes an obvious lack
of accountability to constituents and may explain
Congress members lack of
engagement.
A solution to the districting problem may be to
elect Congress members
according to their academic affiliation.
Regardless, for the
sake of Student Congress
future, representatives
should affirm both their
commitment to the
Student Code and to serve
the UNC student body.

Lets get one thing straight:


If youre pooping in your

a bad person.
Not a funny person but a bad
person. Unless youre actually incontinent. But this
particular case seems pretty
intentional. What happened
to the days when Cobblers

out of trouble?

Remember that girl who


kept a squirrel in her room

years ago? The

Penn State student has gained
a similar fame as a squirrel
whisperer. She has reportedly befriended a particular

Youve probably seen the


picture going around of
UNCs largely
successful
Stripe Out and
N.C. States notat-all-successful
Black Out. Its comforting
to know that if were going
to take things down to the
wire with a team we paid
just shy of a million dollars
to show up, well at least
look good doing it.

Were not old or anything,


but lost in the hubbub of

the unfortunate

of the iPod classic and its scroll wheel!
Youre telling us feeling a

than the ability to keep a

our pocket? NOPE.

Cosmic Cantina has long


been our favorite local
restaurant. But
Aug. 15, prices
increased by an
average of 10
percent. Cosmic
is still delicious and local
and fun, so we arent mad.
But we will miss you, sour
cream. You were too good
for us. May you continue
to bless the burritos of the

TO THE EDITOR:
What we need, not only
in North Carolina, but
also in our great nation,
is not revolution or rebellion but a prudent Energy
Reformation.
Yes, we need to be independent in energy and not
depend on Saudi Arabia,
Iraq or Venezuela for oil
and gas. But should we
become Saudi America?
The answer is no.
But is fracking or
hydraulic fracturing
the answer? N.C. State
University geologists found
that the shale gas deposit
in the three Triangle counties is at a shallower depth
(1,500 feet), and occupies a
small volume compared to
northern states, where it is
5,000 feet deep and much
more spacious in volume
and area.
I saw in your Sept. 5
editorial that we must stop
the pipeline proposed by
Atlantic Coast Pipeline,
built with a cost of $5 billion to bring methane from
West Virginia by Duke
Energy and Piedmont
Natural Gas. This plan must
be aborted, and we should
shift gear to solar and wind
energy in North Carolina.
I was in the first fracking public hearing in
McKimmon Center on N.C.
States campus and heard
95 percent of the witnesses
who spoke oppose fracking.
Dr. Vikram Rao, the new
chair of the Mining and
Energy Commission, twisted the truth and said, This
anti-fracking crowd is not
the microcosm of the state
and the display of antifracking animus comes
from vocal minority.
Let me narrate what I
said in the three minutes
given to me graciously
in the public hearing at
McKimmon Center:
We must ban fracking in
North Carolina or at least
reinstate the moratorium
in 2015 for five years to
explore the risks associated
with the process.
We need to establish
whether we can frack safely
and, if so, locate the distance of the wells at least
1,000 feet away from aquifer, reservoir or lake. We
should also identify water
quality and quantity risks
in the light of imminent
contamination and excessive use of water.
The commissions in
charge of this process
should not be made up of
party-line members but a
group representing environmental virtue ethicists,
scientists from academia
and lawmakers. Shift gear to
renewable energy solar,
wind and even nuclear.
Finally, the EPA should
be involved in the decisionmaking process to define
risks to water quality in
North Carolina, under the
Clean Water Act.

Fight against rape


must begin with men
TO THE EDITOR:
The line between sex and
rape is not hazy, novel or
difficult to comprehend. If
there is any question in a
persons ability to give consent, whether or not related
to drinking, the answer is
simply to not have sex.
Understanding this concept is not asking too much
of students; it is asking
students to respect basic
human rights. The reality of
the matter is that men commit 99 percent of rapes.
Rather than argue over
the difference between tipsy
and too drunk to consent
(because again if there is
any uncertainty the answer
is always to not have sex), it
is time we shift focus to the
root of the problem: mens
violence.
In our society, men are
praised for being strong,
dominant and powerful
but are scorned if they in
any way appear weak or
feminine. To maintain their
image, men are taught that
violence is the answer to
lifes problems, which normalizes mens aggression.
If we are to end this epidemic of sexual assault, we
must acknowledge and discuss mens violence, explore
alternative definitions of
masculinity and teach men
not to rape.

Disbelief is too often


the status quo
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing in response
to Matthew Zipples letter
arguing for more due process in the prosecution of
sexual assault cases.
I agree with Mr. Zipple
that increased due process
is needed in sexual assault
cases to ensure that the
appropriate parties are
brought to justice, but I
question his motivation in
light of the new policies
which clearly establish not
only definitions of sexual
contact and consent but
guidelines about how to
determine when consent is
given and/or revoked.
It is incredibly difficult for
victims of assault to come
forward, and many men and
women never share their stories because they are afraid
of not being taken seriously.
I would tread lightly before
calling for increased scrutiny
of their stories due to a small
number of malicious individuals who have lied about
their assaults.
False reports of sexual
assault are incredibly serious,
not only because they harm
innocent parties but because
they trivialize the serious
impact that sexual assault
and rape have on victims.
Hopefully the new policys
definitions and guidelines
will decrease the already low
number of false reports on
campuses and allow the university to help victims seek
legal action against their
attackers and begin the difficult healing process.
