Mechanical TRIGGER WARNING


bull coming Some say concealed carry on campus would help curb assaults

Country Fried Duck bar will move


into what was previously The Heel.
By Meg Garner
Senior Writer

Chapel Hill will soon be home to a new country bar called the Country Fried Duck.
After signing a lease Tuesday afternoon, Scott
Kleczkowski and his fiancee Lauren Fortkort
will soon begin renovating the 4,400 square
foot space located at 157 E. Rosemary St.
We are planning on doing some
interior renovations and some to the
exterior patio, said Kleczkowski. We
will have a mechanical bull.
After meeting Fortkort in Chapel Hill,
Kleczkowski said the town has always been very
special to them and now they look forward to
helping others create such memories.
Lauren and I have really good memories
from Chapel Hill, he said. For the broad spectrum we can say it will be a little different from
what has been in Chapel Hill before, but we
really just want to show people a good time.
We have these enjoyable memories of Chapel
Hill, and now we want to express those back out
into the community.
Kleczkowski said they hope to open the bar in
May, as long as renovations go according to plan.
We had several other people look at the
space, and we think these people have a good
idea, said Jim Paliouras, whose company,
Paliouras Enterprises LLC, owns the building.
And we look forward to them opening.
The space was formerly occupied by The Heel,
which closed its doors about seven months after
opening because its owner relocated to Florida.
They were absentee owners from Florida,
and they decided, I guess, that they would close
up, said Paliouras.
In late September,, The Heel was shut down
due to building code violations and the need
to refile liquor and alcohol permits with North
Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement.
At the time, The Heels general manager
Giuli Lurito said in an email that the permits
were being resubmitted because the bars owner,
Glen Turner, was looking to pursue other avenues in Florida and was leaving Chapel Hill.
Ethan Dunn has worked at Bub OMalleys
for two years, and during that time he saw firsthand the locations previous club, The Thrill,
close and The Heel take its place. Dunn said the
bars inconsistent hours hurt its ability to have a
steady stream of customers.
When they initially opened it was busy, but
after a while it was kind of a crapshoot if they
would be open, Dunn said. There were a lot of
nights you would expect them to be open and
they just wouldnt be.
Meg McGurk, executive director of the
Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, said The
Heels departure will not have a significant
impact on the towns nightlife.
Our nightlife downtown will continue to offer
something for everyone, McGurk said. You can
enjoy a dive bar, high-end cocktail or wine bar,
and we even have an art bar downtown.

Hes never had to use it.


Thank goodness, UNC senior Thomas
Rees said. But its there for protection.
Rees keeps a small Smith & Wesson 9
mm pistol and a large Mossberg 88 shotgun
in his off-campus apartment in Chapel Hill.
On Tuesday afternoon, before bringing his
firearms outside, Rees went into a back
room and with a click that accompanies
guns being cocked removed the ammunition from the guns chambers.
Sensible people with concealed carry
permits should be able to take their guns on
campus, he said.The bad guys would catch
on and realize they cant just rape or mug or
murder whoever they want, he said. Theyd
know a lot of people have firearms, and
theyre going to fight back.
A North Carolina law passed in 2013 allowing concealed carry permit owners to bring
guns on public college campuses as long as
they were stored in closed compartments in
locked cars. Nationwide, there has been a push
to allow guns more liberally on campuses.
And now theres a new argument; theyll
help curb sexual violence.
Students for Concealed Carry, a national
organization advocating for concealed handgun license owners to have their firearms all
over campuses, is one of the primary groups
supporting the new effort.
Michael Newbern, a national director for Students for Concealed Carry, said
the group has always made connections
between stopping any kind of violent crime
and allowing permit holders to carry their
guns everywhere.
When a victim has the opportunity to
fight back, we know an attacker will always
choose a weaker victim, Newbern said.
Rees said legally carried guns would make
college campuses safer.
They are dangerous but so are knives
and cars and a lot of other things we experience a lot more, Rees said. Education is a
big thing learning how to handle these
things properly.
During the past two years, 33 states have
considered loosening gun restrictions on
public university campuses and allowing
some form of concealed carry.
But the renewed advocacy isnt without its
critics including some UNC students.
Opponents contend that most sexual
assault victims know their attackers, making
it less likely that a gun would be a deterrent.
While I understand the argument that
it wold help in instances when its random,
and they dont know their attacker, its not
the rule its the exception, said fourthyear UNC School of Medicine student
Brandon Linz, who owns a gun.
UNC senior Bennett Sasser doesnt think
she could ever carry a gun.
I would take self-defense classes or other
avenues to protect myself, Sasser said.
Linz, who has held a concealed carry
permit for five years, said guns shouldnt be
openly allowed on campus at all.
If feeling unsafe on the college campus
requires you to carry a gun on campus, those
issues should be addressed first, Linz said.
College parties are often cited as danger

States differ in their stance on concealed weapons at universities

Some college groups support looser concealed carry laws on campus, saying they could curb sexual assault. Most states have
rules that allow individual universities to decide whether to allow concealed carry weapons or not.

Its simple.
I play a lot better because Im feeling a lot
better.
Thats what Marcus Paige said Tuesday
afternoon in the Smith Center, about 48 hours
before he and the North Carolina mens basketball team will take on Harvard in the second
round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday.
The junior guard is finally healthy after battling plantar fasciitis in his right foot, sprains
in both ankles and an injured hip throughout
the duration of the season. And for the No. 15
Tar Heels, its coming at just the right time.
Once bogged down by extra training sessions and the stress of how much hed be able
to give his teammates, Paige now takes the
court healthier than ever before this season
and full of confidence.
Its showing.
Through four ACC Tournament games,
Paige scored 17 points against Boston College,
13 against Louisville, 14 against Virginia and
24 against Notre Dame. In three of the four
games he exceeded his season average of 13.9
points per game, and in playing 36, 36, 36
and 38 minutes per game respectively, he

junior point guard

played more minutes than his season average


of 32.9 minutes per game, as well.
I think Im just moving better overall. Im
a little bit quicker, I jump a little bit higher,
Paige said. When you play without worrying
about anything and you dont have pain, you
just play. Everything is natural and instinctual.
His teammates are reaping the benefits, too.
Once a bit wary in terms of his foot when
it came to attacking the lane, Paige now penetrates the paint with no fears. That not only
gets him on the free throw line more, but
opens up his teammates more easily.
Way more aggressive, said junior forward
J.P. Tokoto to describe his point guard. Him
being aggressive, it opens up a lot. Teams
may sag in and try to help, then theres a kick
out to me or Justin Jackson or Nate (Britt)
or Joel (Berry). Or, theres the dump down to
the bigs, or his own finish.
Paiges health comes at a crucial juncture in
the Tar Heels season. Advancing in the NCAA
Tournament certainly takes a bit of luck, but if

Ikea hide-and-seek

122 years of editorial freedom


JENNY SURANE
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The Daily Tar Heel

From staff and wire reports

ome people never grow up. Ikea has announced it is cracking down on organized hide-and-seek events that people have
been planning in its massive stores. Store employees noticed
people hiding in fridges and Ikea shopping bags. The hideand-seek trend has been huge in Europe. A Facebook event for a game in
Amsterdam touted an astounding 19,000 attendees. Yes, 19,000 people
playing hide-and seek in a massive furniture store actually might be a tad
unsafe, but theres no denying it sounds absolutely awesome. Dont lie,
you know youve thought while standing in Ikea how cool it would be to
play hide-and-seek in the store. Or laser tag. Or capture the flag. Well
just be here daydreaming about the unlimited possibilities.

NOTED. A senator in Nevada has introduced a bill that would allow pets to use
medical marijuana. The pet would have to
get approval from a veterinarian, of course.
While humans in many states still cannot
use medical marijuana, your grandmothers sick chihuahua might soon be able to
access the substance. Makes total sense.

QUOTED. Most folks dont need an $8m


training facility to learn how to lock the
front door.
A critic of the U.S. Secret Service plan
that requested $8 million to build a replica
of the White House for employee training.
During a time of budget constraints, that
sounds like a great way to spend money.

SEXUAL ASSAULT ON CAMPUS

Survey finds
sexual assault
disconnect
College presidents think assault is a
problem, but not on their campus.

Ben and Jerrys ice cream stand on campus for semester


By Brielle Kronstedt
Staff Writer

Students first day back from spring


break was more sweet than bitter as they
enjoyed a new Ben and Jerrys ice cream
stand outside of Lenoir Dining Hall.
Brandon Thomas, a spokesman for
Carolina Dining Services, said this is the
first time CDS has installed a long-term
food kiosk.
The owner of Ben and Jerrys on
Franklin Street actually approached
Carolina Dining Services, and Carolina definitely wanted to do it to support local business, he said.
Antonio McBroom bought the Ben and
Jerrys on Franklin Street just two days
before graduating from UNC in 2008. He
worked at the store throughout college.
Its a high-energy place and everything
was fun, so I was like, OK, if I can make a
career out of something thats fun, its a no
brainer, McBroom said.
Thomas said the fact that McBroom has
a history with UNC made the decision even

easier.
Its a way to help a local business, help an alum, and provide
something thats really popular
for college students, he said.
After the ice cream chains partnership with UNC Athletics began this year,
McBroom saw a need on campus.
Not all students on campus make it up
to Franklin Street that often, and us being
in the Pit is more about just continuing to
activate the brand and credit more brandloyal fans by being right there on campus
and service the entire UNC community,
he said.
The Ben and Jerrys stand is different
from restaurants inside Lenoir because it
pays CDS a 20 percent commission instead
of rent, Thomas said.
This will be a test period for CDS to
gauge how successful food kiosks could be
in the future, he said.
The stand is scheduled to stay open until
May 8, but both CDS and Ben and Jerrys
are hoping the students response will justify extending the contract and even bringing

more food carts to campus.


Its not going to be a one-time offer
and never happen again because its something that we think could be really popular
that people will appreciate, Thomas said.
Judging from the line yesterday, I think it is
pretty appreciated.
Like a lot of students, UNC freshman
Bailey Brislin bought a cup of mint ice
cream on Monday.
Ice cream is a spring staple, she said.
UNC junior TJ Woodard got a job with Ben
and Jerrys a few weeks ago, before he found
out he was going to be working the stand.
Its getting a lot of buzz on campus,
people are taking pictures with me and
Snapchats, so I guess Im going to be the
Ben and Jerrys guy from now on, Woodard
said with a smile.
Its been a pretty good experience so
far, Ive got a lot of people very excited to
come by and say, Oh man, is this permanent? and to see their faces light up does
it all for me.

Sexual assault has persistently been in the public


eye for the last five years, and many higher education leaders agree that its a problem on college
campuses but most administrators dont believe
the assaults happen in their own backyards.
A survey conducted by Gallup became the foundation of a report released by Inside Higher Ed. It
polled university leaders nationwide on issues such
as sexual assault, finance and race, among others.
More than 30 percent of college
presidents agree or strongly agree that
sexual assault is prevalent at U.S. colleges. But less than 6 percent believe
sexual assault is a problem on their campus.
Sexual assault is an issue that exists both inside
and outside the walls of our universities, said
Hilary Delbridge, spokeswoman for UNCs Equal
Opportunity and Compliance Office, in an email.
The awareness of this issue on college campuses is borne out of the courage and activism of
students across the nation.
Student activists include UNC alumnae Annie
Clark and Andrea Pino, who spearheaded an
effort to reform the Universitys sexual assault
policies. Clark and Pino also helped write the
Bipartisan Campus Safety and Accountability Act,
which is making its way through the U.S. Senate.
The proposal by a group of 12 senators would
be dedicated to protecting students and increasing
accountability and transparency on campuses.
The federal government has created guidance
and laws that impact campus policies and procedures, said Delbridge in an email. Many of the
laws continue to evolve and were prepared to
adjust our policies and practices as needed.
A lack of transparency and conflicts of interest
are among the flaws in campuses approaches to
sexual assault, said Gailya Paliga, president of the
N.C. chapter of National Organization for Women.
The campus police dont handle it like real
police, she said. You need someone without a
conflict of interest who can take real action.
Campus police are trying to keep things safe,
but also trying to keep things quiet for the benefit of the university, so rapes and assaults dont
scare other students and parents away.
Despite efforts made by UNC and other universities to confront sexual assault on campuses,
solutions often remain elusive.
Theres an epidemic of sexual assault in society
in general, and college campuses reflect that, said
Tara Romano, president of N.C. Women United.
We have a culture that doesnt take sexual
violence seriously, we have a culture of mistrusting women when women come forward, we
need to start to believe them.

Q&A with Larry Platt,


Stuart Scott biographer
Larry Platt is a nationally renowned
author of four books and editor of The
Philadelphia Citizen whose work has
appeared in various publications,
including GQ Magazine and The New
York Times Magazine. He recently
co-authored the memoir, Every Day
I Fight, of sports broadcasting legend
Stuart Scott, who died in January.
Platt spoke with senior writer Robert
McNeely about writing his latest work
and getting to know Scott on both a
professional and personal level.

The Daily Tar Heel: Tell me about


Stuart Scott. How did you first meet?
Larry Platt: I first met Stuart about a
year ago when our mutual agent called
and said he wanted to write a book. I
already knew he was battling cancer,
which was public, but what I found was
someone who didnt want to write a
traditional sports memoir. He wanted
to keep it real, keep it raw and didnt
want it to be a downer. He wanted it to
be a book about celebrating life.
DTH: What was it like getting to know
Scott while co-authoring the memoir?
LP: After we talked over the phone,
I drove up to Connecticut and spent
the day with him. He was still on the
air then, but he was off on Tuesdays so
we had some time to get to know one
another. We spent a good four or five
hours hanging out and just spent the
day talking about the themes that ended
up getting fleshed out in the book. We
started working on it and spent the
next nine months together and finally
finished the book in December. Then
he passed away in January. The book is
titled Every Day I Fight because its
not just his cancer memoir its about
the fight in his personal and professional life that he fought every day.
DTH: What other aspects of Scotts life
does the book touch on? What was it
like seeing the world through his eyes?
LP: The book is full of his doubts and
fears. It begins in March of 2014 with
a story in The New York Times about
his perseverance and how he was sort
of wrestling with that idea at the time.
The article called him a hero, and he

says in the book that


he didnt feel like a
hero, he just didnt
want to die. Its full
of the times he cried
and the hundreds or
even thousands of
times he wanted to
quit and how he was
always able to stay
strong He wanted
to give permission
to cancer patients to
take off that superman cape and just
be people.

Larry Platt is the


co-author of Stuart
Scotts memoir
titled Every Day I
Fight. Scott died in
February.

DTH: Do you have a favorite memory


of Scott? Any anecdotes?
LP: There were a lot of emotional

moments. We were sitting in his car


while his daughter was at soccer practice, and he was telling me a story
thats in the book about his mom, all
about what a selfless hero she was, and
then he just started crying. And that
made me start to cry, and pretty soon
we were just laughing through our
tears about how we are both emotionally inclined people.

DTH: Can you speak to Scotts legacy


what you believe it will be and what
he hoped to leave behind?
LP: I think there are two parts. One
is for his daughters. He wanted to
leave behind a prescription for living
for them. He liked to say life consists
of two dates with a dash in between
and its our job to make the most of the
dash. He says in the book that the only
thing he lacked was an abundance of
days, but that he loved what he had.
He didnt cheat life, and thats really
the message for his girls: to fight the
instinct to go through life on autopilot.
The other legacy is that of a broadcast
journalist. I mean, arguably, he was the
Jackie Robinson of sports broadcasting. In the 90s there was an influx
of African-Americans into the sports
world, but that cultural shift never
made it into the broadcasting booth
until Stuart Scott.

Carolina Indian Circle is a student organization that educates students about Native American culture.

Carolina Indian Circle recognized


The group was honored
for its efforts to create
community, educate.
By Jenn Morrison
Staff Writer

Even with fewer than 100 students on campus, UNCs Native


American community is still
making its voice heard.
The Carolina Indian Circle
has been recognized with this
years student organization award
from the Office of Diversity and
Multicultural Affairs.
Chelsea Barnes, president of the
Carolina Indian Circle, said the
organization works to foster a community and educate students about
Native American culture.
Even though the community
is small, the CIC says that youre
supported here, Barnes said. It
really speaks to the dedication of
the community.
Amy Locklear Hertel, director
of the American Indian Center,
said the Carolina Indian Circle

members are leaders


in promoting diversity
on campus.
They are first
and foremost students, but they
are activists in their own right,
Hertel said.
Aside from helping develop
leadership skills, she said the center also applies lessons learned in
courses to tribal communities.
Theyre learning in a predominantly white institution, so
were trying to show how they
can apply what they learn to their
own communities, Hertel said.
The Carolina Indian Circle will
be hosting its 28th annual powwow, a traditional Native American
festival that will feature dancing
and a cappella performances, on
March 28 in Woollen Gym, said
event co-chairwoman Kayla Smith.
Anybody is welcome to come
and learn more about powwow
culture or the CIC, Smith said.
We just need more awareness.
Smith said the powwow is a
time of coming together and celebrating all tribes.
Half of the proceeds from the

entrance fee will support the Faith


Hedgepeth Memorial Scholarship
Fund, which is dedicated to Faith
Hedgepeth, a Native American
student who was found dead in her
apartment in 2012.
Aside from spreading awareness, she said one of the clubs
main efforts is the recruitment
and retention of Native American
students. CIC members make calls
to every Native American student
admitted to UNC to congratulate

Just two percent of students

According to the Office of

Coopers emails targeted


The GOP filed the
massive request after
Roy Coopers speech.

Joshua Aristy, the finance committee chair, speaks at the Student Congress meeting Tuesday night.

Congress OKs stipends


for speaker, 1 chairman
By Kristen Chung
Senior Writer

Proposed changes to the


Student Constitution led one
of the longest-serving students in Student Congress to
resign Monday.
Peter McClelland, the speaker pro tempore, resigned after a
disagreement over a proposed
change that gives stipends to
the speaker of congress and the
finance committee chair.
I fundamentally see
Student Government as a
public service, and I believe
giving its leaders or members
a check, at best, cheapens that
idea and, at worst, corrupts our
institutions, McClelland said.
Kevan Schoonover, former
rules and judiciary committee
chair of Student Congress, was
part of a 10-member task-force
that has been meeting weekly
since January to amend the
Student Constitution.
We deliberated and we
determined that there are two
positions finance committee chair and the speaker of
congress whose positions
require a large volume of
work and therefore are worthy of a stipend, he said.
After the task forces
meeting on Monday night,

McClelland
resigned. Tuesday,
Schoonover,
McClellands fiance, took over as speaker protempore and Cole Simons was
elected chairman of the Rules
and Judiciary Committee.
Student Congress is currently the only branch of
student government that does
not receive any stipends. A
proposal called for the speaker and finance committee
chairman to receive a stipend
no larger than that of the student body vice president and
treasurer, their counterparts
in the executive branch.
The student body vice president and treasurer currently
make $200 per month, but
the official stipend amounts
would not be decided until
the annual budget was voted
upon. Schoonover said congress would ultimately have
the power to decide whether to
award the stipends.
If congress feels that they
are there for the wrong reasons, they have the ability to
take it away.
The constitutional amendments will be sent to vote by
the student body next week.
In order for the amendments
to pass, at least 2.5 percent

of the student body must


vote and the majority must
be in favor. If approved, the
amendment to allow the stipends will not be implemented until next academic year.
The changes were
approved at Tuesdays
Student Congress meeting.
Joshua Aristy, current
finance committee chairman,
said students do not understand the amount of time and
work the job demands. He
said the stipend recognizes
the value of the work the
finance committee chair does.
I think the stipend will
ensure that future finance
committee chairs continue
to put their fullest effort into
completing all their responsibilities, he said.
Aristy said he spends up to
40 hours a week on finance
committee duties. He said on
a per-hour basis, a stipend for
the finance committee chair
would make less than his parttime job at Student Stores.
We dont do it for the
money. The stipend is less
than minimum wage, but
we do it because we want
to serve, he said. This just
makes it a little easier to do it.

GUNS

zones for sexual violence. But
critics argue that adding guns
into the mix of alcohol and
drunk students could lead to
accidental deaths.
Students for Concealed
Carry doesnt want to change
the standards of who can
carry firearms, Newbern
said. They know in most
states its a felony to consume
alcohol in possession of a
hand gun.
When gun restrictions
have been loosened on campuses in various states, he
added, the concerns of gun
control lobbyists have not
come to fruition.
All these predictions of
flooding the streets at frat
parties shooting each other
up is not coming true and
lawmakers are seeing that,
Newbern said.
UNC Young Democrats
President Tony Liu said the
University has campus security and local law enforcement
for a reason.
Concealed carry laws can
create environments which
are not conducive towards
promoting feelings and environments of safety on campus, Liu said.
But Frank Pray, president of UNC College
Republicans, said concealed
carry permit holders go
through a rigorous process
to receive their permits.
Students would be subjected to the same laws and
regulations as the general
public, and therefore, the
safety of campus would not be
reduced at all, Pray said.
Rees said the concept of
actually using a firearm on
someone isnt the purpose of
carrying one.
Just the satisfaction of
having it and knowing that if
things do go bad, you can at
least fight, Rees said.
When Dylan Zanikos, a
UNC junior, thinks about
guns on campus, he considers
his future daughter.
If I have a daughter and
shes old enough and would
feel safer walking home at
night, then yes, Zanikos said.
Concealed carry can alleviate
that anxiety or fear.

N.C. Attorney General


Roy Cooper gave a speech
Monday urging government
officials to be more transparent and hours later, the
N.C. Republican Party filed a
massive open records request
asking for 14 years worth of
Coopers emails.
The speech and the records
request came at the start of
Sunshine Week, an annual
campaign promoting the right
of citizens to be aware of what
is going on in government.
The speech was given at an
annual Sunshine Day event in
Durham, hosted by the N.C.
Open Government Coalition.
Cooper said in his speech
that it is already state policy
to allow residents to have
public access to what is going
on in the government.
Though Cooper didnt
specifically mention Gov. Pat
McCrory, his remarks follow some attention given to
McCrory after he admitted
to not reporting seven trips
and $13,000 spent on trips in
2013. The Democratic attorney general is widely expected

appeals largely to the undergraduate population.
Most people recognize
the name, most people recognize the song, she said. Its
something that everyone can
get into, and that was our
goal: to appeal to as many
people as possible.
Reynolds hopes the concert
revives a tradition: Carolina
Jubilee, a spring celebration
dating back to the 1960s.
We wanted to bring it back
with a facelift and reinvent
what the Union does and what
the Carolina Union Activities
Board does, she said. Thats

Keeping government correspondence open


to the public should be encouraged.
Michael Bitzer,
political science professor at Catawba College

to challenge McCrory for governor in 2016.


It is the expectation that if
you are doing business on the
behalf of the public that the
public has a right to see those
actions and hold you accountable for them, said Michael
Bitzer, a political science professor at Catawba College.
Public documents dont just
include emails, but also government reports, data and videos taken by police being put
out for public consumption.
There has been barriers to
transparency in recent years,
particularly in the matter of
cost, said Jonathan Jones,
director of the N.C. Open
Government Coalition.
Though Jones said the
GOPs request for Coopers
emails is a large one, similar records requests have
been seen before and any
request for transparency is
one that the coalitions members should agree with.
Cooper has been criticized
in the past for allegedly asking state officials to delete
emails directly after sending
them so there would not be
any record of them.

Directly after the speech


was delivered, the N.C. GOP
submitted a request to have
Coopers emails and correspondence dating back to
2001 released to the public.
The request includes any public or private email accounts.
Public access to records is
a governmental issue and has
always been part of state law.
In general it is part of our
democratic government that
issues of accountability and
openness are important qualities that we seek, Bitzer said.
A video posted on the state
GOPs website mentions a
Charlotte Observer editorial
that criticized Roy Cooper
saying that when Cooper
is asked to actually produce
information, the issue of transparency becomes a much more
complicated, murky issue.
Another obstacle is the fees
charged by agencies for access
to government information.
Keeping government
correspondence open to the
public should be encouraged,
Bitzer said. That is transparency, that is accountability.

becoming a tradition in the
coming years bringing back
the Carolina Jubilee feel.
The concert will take place
outside on Hooker Fields.
Approximately 3,000 tickets
will be offered at $5 per ticket.
Our goal with this is to
provide it for as many as possible for as low a cost as possible, Chess said. I hope, by
keeping tickets that cheap, we
can get a lot of students out
and be able to access this and
come and enjoy.
The decision to bring Well$,
who was announced as a nominee in the 2015 XXL Freshman
15 competition on March 9,
was based on his rising popularity in Chapel Hill, where he
spends half of his time.

I think its really cool that


students will get to see a super
awesome up and coming local
artist on the show, Chess said.
For Well$, who has performed at Cats Cradle and
Kappa Sigma fraternity and
has sold out Local 506, the
opportunity to perform alongside a prominent band with a
similar sound is exciting.
They have a great vibe, I dig
it, he said. Im just excited to
share the stage with them.
Junior Christina Luke
said while shes heard of Rae
Sremmurds songs, shes never
heard of the band.
I know the song, said Luke
of No Flex Zone. I didnt
know who sang it though.

Pit Stop gets new oors


Student Stores is also
creating an alumni
and graduation shop.
By Mona Bazzaz
Staff Writer

The Pit Stop, a popular


on-campus convenience
store run by Student Stores,
received a bit of a facelift over
spring break.
Student Stores manager
John Gorsuch said the store,
last renovated in 2006, was
becoming worn out.
We wanted to do a significant freshen up to the store
and just keep it pleasant to
the students who shop there
and also be more serviceable
Gorsuch said.
Changes to the Pit Stop
arent the only renovations at
Student Stores. Gorsuch said
they are starting a project in
three weeks to create a graduation and alumni shop in the
first floor of Student Stores.
The store will show off
diploma frames, announcements and upscale gifts that
visiting alumni would like,
Gorsuch said. We hope to have
this shop functional for all of
the seniors graduating this year
and have it finished in May.
In addition to a fresh
coat of paint in the Pit Stop,
Student Stores also replaced
some fixtures in the convenience store, improved the
layout of the store slightly
by lowering the shelves and
replaced the floors.
The floor was pretty much
worn out, so we found a company called Stonhard that had
this interesting product that
we might be considering to
use throughout our building
here, Gorsuch said.

Stop as a test
floor to see how
Stonhard holds up to the
beating of customers coming and going all day. So far,
they have been happy with
the look.
Were pretty pleased with
how the project turned out,
Gorsuch said.
The renovations started in
mid-January and are basically
complete, aside from a few
finishing touches such as adding molding and touching up
the paint.
Over spring break, all of
the non-refrigerated food
was moved out of the store
so they could do a complete job on the floor. As of
Tuesday morning, everything was returned.
Gorsuch said they havent
added up the total cost of the
renovations yet, but the work
was fairly inexpensive.
We are very careful with

how we spend the money


because we pay for the renovations out of the stores operations, Gorsuch said. What
we do is enhance the store so
we can do business efficiently
and donate more money to
student scholarships.
Sophomore William
Harris said he was pleasantly
surprised with the Pit Stop
renovations.
When I go to the shop,
Im usually in and out pretty
quickly, but it was really
noticeable how much nicer it
looked when I got back from
spring break, Harris said.
Nick Caligari, the late
night Pit Stop manager, said
he wasnt surprised that they
were planning on renovating.
I was on spring break, so I
wasnt present for the renovations, but I know the floors
were concrete before and that
was the main thing that we
changed, Caligari said.

He has more confidence

BASEBALL: DAVIDSON 12, NORTH CAROLINA 11

Tar Heel comeback falls short in the ninth


By Sarah Headley
Staff Writer

The No. 18 North Carolina


baseball team came out
swinging, but not until the
ninth inning.
The Tar Heels couldnt
pull out a win against
the Davidson Wildcats
at Boshamer Stadium on
Tuesday afternoon, losing
12-11. UNC dug itself in too
deep of a hole, allowing seven
runs in the first three innings,
five coming in the third.
Davidson, credit to them,
they came out swinging the
bat, said freshman leadoff man
Brian Miller. They just hit the
ball everywhere, all over the
field so thats credit to them.
The Tar Heels struggled
throughout the afternoon and
were down 12-5 at the start of
the ninth inning before making a 6-0 run. But their streak
came to a quick end.
Freshman shortstop Logan
Warmoth, who hit his first
career home run in the fourth

inning, stepped up to the


plate with runners on first
and second in the bottom half
of the inning. But Davidsons
Ty Middlebrooks made an
impressive game-ending
catch while running into the
left field wall and stealing a
potential game-winning hit.
Its a crazy game. Ive seen
some crazy things happen on
the field and that wouldve
been something if that ball
would have gone out or gone
off the wall, and wed a won
right there, Coach Mike Fox
said. Probably wouldnt have
deserved to, but I give our
kids credit for battling.
UNC made a lot of mistakes
early on and were down 7-0 by
the third inning. The Tar Heels
are still trying to get into the
swing of things due to injuries
within the pitching staff, making them rely on players from
the bullpen to step up.
You can go play the whatif game, the bottom line is
were just not very good out of
the bullpen right now and our

veterans just arent getting it


done, Fox said.
But three freshmen shone
in the absence of a few UNC
regulars. Warmoth, Miller
and freshman first baseman
Zack Gahagan combined
for nine hits and eight RBIs
against the Wildcats.
Two key North Carolina
veterans, junior outfielders Skye Bolt and Landon
Lassiter, did not play Tuesday
due to missing an academic
commitment.
We have tutors here for a
reason and we pay for those,
the athletic department pays
for those tutors, Fox said. And
when youre required to go to
them, youre required to go.
And if you dont, youre
shortchanging yourself, somebody else and youre being
selfish. And I dont tolerate
that here. Thats why they

Freshman Brian Miller, who reached base five times Tuesday afternoon, is forced out at second.

didnt play today and they


werent about to play.
Yet even in their absence,
UNC put themselves in a
position to win late in the
game. But, there were too
many mistakes early, and the

comeback came too late.


If you go back and look
at it, the game always comes
down to walks, errors and
base running mistakes, Fox
said. Those things kill you,
and then youre asking for

a miracle at the end of the


game to win.
The Tar Heels asked for a
miracle, but instead were left
with heartache.

SOFTBALL: NORTH CAROLINA 15, UNC-GREENSBORO 0

Scoring frenzy lifts Tar Heels past UNC-Greensboro


The softball team
scored 15 runs
Tuesday afternoon.
By Evan Chronis
Staff Writer

DTH/BEN LEWIS
The North Carolina softball team celebrates after one of shortstop Kristen Browns two home runs.

The game was delayed, but


the Tar Heels ended it quickly.
In a game that was pushed
back 45 minutes due to late
umpires, the North Carolina
softball team beat the UNCGreensboro Spartans by a
score of 15-0. It took the Tar
Heels only five innings to
wrap up the victory in which
their hitting and pitching was
nearly perfect.
The Tar Heels powered
their way to victory through
six home runs two each
for junior shortstop Kristen
Brown and senior first baseman Jenna Kelly, followed by
solo shots from sophomore
right fielder Kendra Lynch
and senior designated player
Lauren Walker.
Everybody had really
quality at-bats, and we stress
that every day, Coach Donna
Papa said. We faced three
different kinds of pitchers,
and we were able to have
good success off of each
pitcher.
The Tar Heels finished the
game with 15 runs but only 12
hits as a team an unusual
feat in softball.

MENS LACROSSE: NORTH CAROLINA 15, HARVARD 10

Mens lacrosse beats Harvard, continues to hit stride


By Patrick Ronan
Staff Writer

Senior attackman Jimmy


Bitter came into Tuesday
nights home game against No.
16 Harvard with at least a point
in 49 straight games just one
game shy of tying the UNC
record of 50. It didnt take long
for Bitter to assure his place in
the record books and propel
the Tar Heels to a 15-10 win.
Just over five minutes
into the game, Bitter made a
nifty move from behind the
net before getting denied by
Harvard goalkeeper Bryan
Moore. A scrum ensued in
front of Harvards goal and
Bitter scooped up the ball and
scored from one knee to tie the
UNC record and give the Tar
Heels (9-0) the early 1-0 lead.
I didnt even know that
was a UNC record, said
Bitter with a laugh. Thats
cool. Its definitely an honor
because there have been a lot
of great players here.
Bitter followed his early
goal with three more firstquarter goals. By the 6:55
mark of the first quarter
Bitter had already notched his
19th career hat trick, on his
way to a five-goal and twoassist performance.
The early energy could be
seen and heard from the Tar
Heels, something Coach Joe
Breschi said was a big point
of emphasis.
We talked the last 48
hours after the Richmond
game about how important
it was for everyone to be
energized, Breschi said.
Im really proud of the team
effort. Right from the start
we played great team defense

and we knew thats what it


would take against a very
good Harvard team.
Junior goalkeeper Kieran
Burke played just his second
full game of the season and it
was apparent that hes finally
feeling fully healthy.
Oh, definitely. Im ready to
go, he said.
Burke was a wall in between
the pipes for the Tar Heels,
setting a season-high with 21
saves on 48 Crimson shots.

I was just seeing the ball


really well, just waiting and
attacking to it. Not much more
than that, Burke said. Its
good to be in there the whole
time and get comfortable. You
have four quarters to see the
ball well and it gets better and
better every quarter.
The UNC defense played a
strong game in front of Burke,
holding Harvard to just five
goals before a 5-0 run by the
Crimson in the late minutes

pushed the final score to 15-10.


For 55 minutes, yes, for
sure, said Breschi when asked
if this was his teams best performance of the season. The
last five minutes were a mess.
The Tar Heels couldnt be
hitting their stride at a better
time. The final five remaining games on their schedule
are against teams currently
ranked No. 8 or higher.
sports@dailytarheel.com

Papa said her team seems


to be finding its perfect balance when it comes to the
plate.
Now Im more prone to
let them swing and find their
pitch, Papa said. We come
out every day with the mentality that we are going to
attack good pitches.
Brown added two home
runs to her season tally, giving
her 10 on the year a team
best.
Im just swinging hard,
and hopefully it goes out,
Brown said.
After Brown homered
in her first two at-bats, the
Spartans decided to intentionally walk her the next time at
bat in fear of adding a third.
It shows a lot of respect
towards me, but I know the
girls behind me in the lineup
are going to get it done, she
said.
Its just another run on
base and potential RBI for
another girl.
On the defensive side, the
Tar Heels were almost flawless. Freshman starting pitcher Kaylee Carlson pitched
three shutout innings, allowing just one hit.
She had her off-speed
working and her off-speed
was going in for strikes, Papa
said. Over the weekend,
it wasnt as sharp and today
she was on.
She looked great.

DTH ONLINE:

Head to dailytarheel.
com to ready more
about the home runs.

Carlson pitched well,


striking out two batters and
walking just one, but she
attributed a lot of her success to the run support she
was getting from her team
on the offensive side.
When your team is scoring
that many runs it is just stress
off of your shoulders, she
said. Our defense has been
really good, too, so you just go
up there with no worries.
UNC has committed just 13
errors so far this season and
has a .981 fielding percentage,
while its opponents have a
combined 27 errors and a .957
fielding percentage.
Carlson was taken out after
three innings Tuesday in an
effort to give other players
innings while UNC had a
comfortable lead.
You always want to go
out there and pitch, but you
also want to give your teammates some innings, she
said.
Tuesday nights victory
has the hot-hitting Tar Heels
riding a five-game winning
streak and, with the hitting
and pitching aligned like it
was, UNC was a tough team
to beat.

The board serves as the governing body of the 17-campus UNC
system. Made up of 32 voting members, it elects the systems president,
oversees tuition and fee levels,
approves campus budgets and
makes various policy and personnel
decisions.
Its this last power that has garnered widespread public attention
in recent months, as the board voted
in late February to close three academic centers and also decided in
January to force system president
Tom Ross to resign.

Section 8 checks too late in Gateway Village


By Erin Kolstad
Staff Writer

After repeatedly receiving


their federal housing subsidies
late, residents of Hillsboroughs
Gateway Village Apartments
now face fees and disconnection from their utility services.
Gateway Village
Apartments is one of 12 apartment complexes in Orange
County that accepts Section 8
vouchers, a federal program
that provides subsidies to lowincome families so they can
afford private housing.
In the fall, county officials

called for more


apartment complexes to accept
the vouchers after
many complexes in the area
stopped, putting nearly 90
Orange County families at risk
for losing their homes.
Devin Ross, an organizer
for Justice United, said about
40 tenants at Gateway Village
receive the subsidies.
Justice United is a community power organization that
has partnered with residents
in the apartment complex
since August.
Tenants were supposed to
receive their subsidy checks
though the Housing Choice
Voucher Program by March 10.
Matesha McLeod, a
Gateway Village tenant, said
she did not receive her utility

subsidy until Saturday, which


was after her electricity and
power bills were due.
It has happened a lot,
more than I can count on my
fingers, McLeod said of the
late checks.
McLeod said when the subsidy check is late the power
is cut off, or if they push back
the payment there is a fee.
She said that tenants are
also able to go to social services to get the utility bills paid.
Residents are calling for an
explanation for the delays and
a better system to ensure that
these delays stop happening,
according to a press release.
McLeod said there has
been no explanation for the
late checks.
You get a run-around
answer or no one gets back

COURTESY OF BOB GARDNER


Bob Garner, who has been branded The Barbecue Man, will promote his book at Flyleaf Books.

Bob Garner brings BBQ


expertise to Chapel Hill
By Jun Chou
Staff Writer

A complete career change


at 50 years old is a bold move.
But boldness isnt out of the
ordinary for Bob Garner, an
entrepreneur, television host,
UNC alumnus and author.
Garner did not get branded
as The Barbecue Man until
his 50s and it was a complete accident.
I was on a pretty standard
broadcast journalism path
doing general assignment
reporting for UNC-TV when
I got assigned to do a story
on iconic barbecue places in
North Carolina, he said. It
was purely accidental, but
people responded positively
and encouraged me to do
more.
Garner will be at Flyleaf
Books tonight to promote
his fourth book, Foods
That Make You Say Mmmmmm. The event is hosted
by the Culinary Historians
of Piedmont North Carolina
(CHOP NC), which
was founded by Nancie
McDermott in 2011.
Hes North Carolina
through and through,
McDermott said of Garner,
who she has watched since his
barbecue segment.

Marcie Cohen Ferris,


a UNC American studies
professor, regularly attends
CHOP NC meetings. Garners
fourth book was required in
her course exploring the history and contemporary politics of food in North Carolina.
Bob Garner is a great
authority on North Carolina
foodways and the distinctive
food cultures on different
regions of North Carolina,
she said. Hes really honored
the social history of North
Carolina in the way he uses
food as a way to understand
families, communities, values
through what they put on the
table.
When he wasnt busy
exclaiming his signature
mmm-mmm! at the hundreds of restaurants he
visited, Garner appeared on
the Food Networks Paulas
Home Cooking, FoodNation
with Bobby Flay, the Travel
Channels Road Trip and
ABCs Good Morning
America. He also authored
a 10-part series, Bob Garner
Eats for Our State magazine.
Although hes a successful
author and established journalist now, Garner said his
college career was anything
but exemplary.
I dont want to come

across as having all this sage


advice I think Ive probably
screwed it up as many ways
as you could screw it up, he
said. But when I tried everything the wrong way, Id come
around to the right way.
Unlike his first three
books, Foods that Make
You Say Mmm-mmm will
expand beyond barbecue and
take the reader on a culinary
trip around North Carolina.
It covers classics as well as
obscure traditions, such as
Neuse River fish stew and
livermush, which Garner jokingly described as congealed
gloppity-glop.
Ferris said the book was
important because it reflects
the color and flavor of North
Carolina food cultures beyond
barbecue.
He understands the
expressive power and the
language of food in our state,
she said. Its so much more
than cuisine its history.
arts@dailytarheel.com

It has happened
a lot, more than I
can count on my
fingers.

to you about your question,


she said.
Ross said the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development is supposed to issue the checks by
the third of the month.
Then the checks are sent
to N.C. Quadel, a contract
administrator that takes one
day to process the vouchers.
The checks then go to
Preservation Management,
Inc., the managing company for Gateway Village
Apartments, which is supposed to have the checks to
tenants between the seventh
and the tenth of each month.
Gateway Village
Apartments and Preservation
Management, Inc. could not
be reached for comment.
More than 5 million people

SECTION 8 VOUCHERS
Section 8 is a federal
program designed to help
low-income families pay for
private housing:
Eligibility is based on total
annual gross income and
family size.
To apply for Section 8
vouchers, residents can
visit a local public housing
authority. Residents are
allowed to apply to multiple
housing authorities.
The Orange County
Housing Authority has a list
of complexes that accept
Section 8 vouchers.

Matesha McLeod,
Gateway Village tenant

from 2.1 million low-income


families nationwide currently
use the Section 8 vouchers.
Ross said through Justice
Uniteds role in connecting
residents with community
institutions, they have been
able to build a relationship
with the housing department.
He said they are working with the department to
directly address this issue.

Report questions NCs economic recovery


By Charles Talcott
Staff Writer

North Carolina has made


significant strides since the
recession, but a new report
from the left-leaning N.C.
Justice Center argues that
communities across the state
are still suffering.
We are now seven years
removed from the financial
crisis of 2008, but in North
Carolina wages are down, job
creation is lagging and many
communities are still stuck
in recession, wrote Patrick

McHugh, an economist at the


center and author of the report.
Michael Walden, a N.C.
State economics professor, said
the states recovery from this
recession is following the same
pattern as all other post-World
War II recoveries.
We tend to initially recover
slowly, but then we pick up
steam later, and we have actually seen job growth here more
rapid than in the nation over
the last five years, Walden said.
McHugh said a significant
cause of the states economic
problems is the disappearance

of a large numbers of jobs that


formed the bedrock of the middle class before the recession.
We are seeing the replacement of labor with capital or
people with machines, he said.
This phenomenon, McHugh
said, explains the average hourly wage falling by an inflationadjusted 40 cents since 2007
despite the states gross
product increasing 18.5 percent
over the same period.
McHugh said the recovery is
bypassing many communities,
with most of the job growth
over the past seven years occur-

ring in densely populated metropolitan areas primarily the


Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill
and Charlotte areas.
The shift towards the
knowledge-based economy is
really working great if youre
in an urban area that has
some wonderful university
in it, but youre really still
struggling if you dont have
some of those pillar institutions around, he said.
McHugh also said there
needs to be a systematic effort
to distribute jobs to these areas.
But UNC economics

professor Stephen Lich criticized the reports methods


and said disproportionate
job growth in cities isnt necessarily concerning.
Some of it is just the natural trend of the migration from
rural to urban areas in the
absence of any job creation or
destruction, Lich said. What
is the problem with that? Jobs
are still being created.
Walden said the weak revival of the middle class is the
continuation of a trend in the
workforce, and there is a need
for a more dynamic, adaptable

education system to train and


retrain workers for the everchanging job market.
Twenty-five percent of
the occupations that we have
today did not exist a generation ago, and some estimates
are that half the occupations
that we have now wont exist
a generation into the future,
Walden said.
We need to have an education system that recognizes
that change is the norm, not
stability.

Famous scientist given honorary degree in Scotland


By Karli Krasnipol
Staff Writer

For Peter Higgs, it was


theorizing about a subatomic
particle in the 1960s that
earned him an honorary
degree from UNC.
Higgs, a 2013 Nobel Prize
winner for his work in physics and elementary particles,
was given an honorary
degree from the Committee
of Honorary Degrees and
Special Awards earlier this
month. Higgs first crafted his
now famous theory in 1964.

This theory was


proven with the
discovery of a new
particle named the
Higgs boson particle in July
2012, transforming his theory
into fact.
Although Higgs achievements contributed greatly to
society, committee member
Joseph Ferrell said there is
more that goes into qualifying
for an honorary degree.
Higgs connection with
UNC began in 1965. He did
much of his research on campus, said committee chair-

woman Sue Estroff.


Professor Higgs actually
did his training and early
work here, so he has ties to
the campus and he obviously
has stature that is global, she
said. We wanted to acknowledge his Carolina roots and to
honor him and, by doing so,
honor the students and faculty that are now here.
Physics professor Louise
Dolan said it is thrilling that
after almost 50 years since his
time at UNC, his connection to
the University and the physics
program is being honored.

Chapel Hill provided a


place for him to do that work,
and thats one of the fantastic
things about a University
such as we have, Dolan said.
Higgs said he was grateful
to receive an honorary degree
from the place where he did
much of his research.
Thank you very much
for honoring me, and apologies to the people in Chapel
Hill for not going out there to
receive my honor, said Higgs
upon receiving his degree at
the University of Edinburgh
in Scotland from Chancellor

Carol Folt, who traveled to


Scotland to present the degree.
To begin the process of
selecting honorees, the committee of honorary degrees and
special awards receives nominations. The committee cannot
select more than five recipients
for the award, Ferrell said.
After receiving nominations, members of the committee review them individually.
After reviewing, the members
meet together, discuss the
nominees, and vote on the
people they believe are the
most exemplary candidates.

Estroff said the committee honors the school and the


student body when it honors
people like Higgs.
Dolan said she feels UNC
helped Higgs in his research.
Often you dont know
what the application is going
to be when you do it, but if
youre given the location and
the encouragement and just
the freedom to do it and the
time to do it, then that is often
the thing that has a profound
impact on the field, she said.

The Daily Tar Heel

Q&A with
Jonathan Jones
Sunshine Week kicked off
Sunday to celebrate access to
public information and open
government. The Sunshine
Center of the North Carolina
Open Government Coalition
is dedicated to providing
residents with information
about public records and open
meetings law. The director of
the coalition, Jonathan Jones,
spoke to senior writer Amanda
Albright about sunshine in the
state. The interview has been
edited for brevity.

THE DAILY TAR HEEL: Whats


the history of Sunshine Week
in North Carolina?
JONATHAN JONES: Sunshine
Week is a national celebration of open government that
started ten years ago. The N.C.
Open Government Coalition
also started ten years ago.
Were not the only ones who
celebrate Sunshine Week it
was originally started by the
American Society of News
Editors. Newspapers across the
state have started celebrating
since its inception. Its grown
beyond newspapers, to TV and
online. The public and government agencies participate
weve had some local governments doing Sunshine Week
activities to highlight their
efforts to inform the public.
DTH: How has the approach
to sunniness changed in the
last 10 years?
JJ: Its hard to say that
theres been one big shift one
way or another it really
kind of ebbs and flows. For the
last six years, the coalition has
partnered with the Elon Poll
to do some polling of public
attitudes of open government
and the publics knowledge.
One of the things weve seen
is theres a drop in knowledge
about the right to know. Fewer
people know they have that
right to know than they did
five years ago But one thing
we do find in our polling is the
public overwhelmingly sup-

ports the idea that they should


be able to have access to public
information.

DTH: What accounts for the

drop in knowledge about the


publics right to know?

JJ: With the changing media


landscape and with fewer and
fewer investigative reporters,
its harder for news outlets to
do investigative stories that
highlight that right to know.
Also, the way we teach civics
education contributes. There
are some folks that do a really
good job of teaching open
government principles. But
because open government
is not a part of end of grade
exams, it doesnt end up in
textbooks and often doesnt get
taught. Thats one reason weve
developed a curriculum for civics teachers.
DTH: What state agencies
lack transparency?
JJ: The agencies Ive heard

the most about from people


calling me up on our hotline and asking me for help
are the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and
were seeing a lot of delays out
of the governors office.

DTH: What about the governors offices records system has


changed?
JJ: I dont know enough
about how the processes (have
changed). What I do know is
were seeing significant lags in
what were seeing out of the
governors office records
that should take a few days
or a week or even months.
Sometimes they arent even
being responded to.
DTH: Journalists covering

UNC-CH sometimes have


to wait months or years to
receive public records. Is that
typical for university or higher education records?

JJ: University records do


present some different questions because there is a federal privacy law that may be
applicable thats (Family
Education Rights and Privacy
Act). Generally, the records
held by universities arent
that different from other government agencies.
UNC in particular has
been slow to respond to
records in the last few years.
Theyve also used FERPA
several times to deny access
to records that clearly werent
covered by FERPA. Thats
why we hear complaints.
DTH: What would you like
to see change about the states
approach to public records?
JJ: North Carolina has a
pretty good public records
law. Its one that pretty much,
for the most part, does what
its supposed to do. I do think
we need greater access to personnel records. Theres still
some info in personnel files
we need access to.
We have an exemption for
law enforcement that is very
broad in N.C. that applies to
closed as well as open case
files. I would like to see our law
change so we can have access to
closed case files. A lot of police
departments are beginning to
wear body cameras. How those
videos are treated in the public
records law is being inconsistently applied from one department to another. In many cases
police are saying they cant
release them even if they want
to, because theyre classifying
them as personnel records.
We need clarity in the
law that (says) these videos
should be publicly accessible.

Aldermen discuss
new recycling fees
The board debated
the merits of two fee
options Tuesday.
By Zhai Yun Tan
Staff Writer

Orange County residents


will soon face new fees for
recycling services.
Gayle Wilson, director of the Orange County
Solid Waste Management
Department, presented two
new funding options to the
Carrboro Board of Aldermen
on Tuesday night. The fees
will pay for services such as
curbside recycling and convenience centers.
The last couple of years
have been unusual because
not a lot of these fees were
charged to people, said
George Seiz, director of public works for Carrboro. It was
somewhat of a legal question.
In the past two years,
Orange County residents have
only had to pay for the $47
annual basic recycling fee.
Former fees included $52
per year for urban curbside recycling and $38 per
year for rural residents, but
the fee was last billed to
residents in 2012. In recent
years, those costs have been
covered by Solid Waste
Management reserve funds
instead.
The Solid Waste Advisory
Group, consisting of representatives from each elected
board in Orange County, convened in August to suggest
new funding options.
The first option will charge
a separate fee for urban and
rural residents, with urban
residents paying $94 per year
and rural residents paying
$118 per year.
The extra $24 rural residents pay is due to low-density development in rural areas,
Wilson said.
The second option will
charge a single comprehensive fee to all residents at

$103 per year.


Compared to
the previous system, this is much
simpler, and it sort of eliminates us versus them and
rural versus urban, Wilson
said.
This is an integrated fee,
and we actually operate in
an integrated system, so this
reflects how we operate.
The elected boards will
have to select a funding
option by March 26 in the
Assembly of Governments
meeting.
All boards will have to
approve the fees by the end
of April to meet the countys
2015 tax billing schedule.
At least three members
from the Board of Aldermen
were in favor of the second
funding option.
I think the rural-urban

split is artificial, said


Alderwoman Bethany
Chaney.
The rural areas have not
been receiving comparable
service, and asking them to
pay more to get services that
the rest of us have doesnt
seem to be fair.
We very strongly favor
option two for equity, said
Alderwoman Randee HavenODonnell.
We really need to act in an
equitable fashion.
According to the documents provided by the
group, financial assistance
will be provided to qualifying low-income residents
incapable of paying solid
waste program fees.
About 700 units received
financial assistance in 2014.

hat do you wish


youd known about
college before you
got to UNC?
Some wish theyd known how
to drink responsibly. Others
would have liked to know that
eating pizza three meals a day
wouldnt be sustainable. But
me? I wish someone had told
me about all the sweat.
In fact, a module on how to
deal with it would have been
among the more helpful parts
of freshman orientation. But
until UNC decides to give this
important issue the attention
it so desperately needs, I will
carry this burden.
The back sweat is almost as
uncomfortable to talk about
as it is to endure, but it afflicts
most of us. Know this, fellow
students: You are not alone.
We all sweat and I sweat a
lot. I worked for the housing
department the summer after
my freshman year, which meant
I often had to traverse campus
several times a day in triple-digit
temperatures. I spent those two
months feeling like a sponge.
Of course, Tuesdays
80-degree temperatures were
a blessing any way you slice
it. But for the perpetually
moist among us, the change in
weather was also a reminder of
the sticky dampness to come.
As you learned this fall,
underclassmen, from your walks
between south campus and the
quad, no T-shirt is safe once
temperatures top 85 degrees.
Many of you have already
divined the secrets of mitigating
or hiding the results, but they
bear repeating for the rest.
Your approach will likely
depend on whether your objective is comfort or presentability.
If its presentability, wear dark
colors. This is a bit of a gamble,
though. Darker shirts will hide
your sweat, but theyll also
absorb more heat and make
you sweat more. The undershirt
strategy carries the same risks.
Tank tops are also great. But
if youre wearing a tank top to
begin with, you probably dont
have any reason to care whether
it ends up sweaty. Thats the
awful logic of it all: The more
important it is that you show up
looking put together, the more
likely you are to be wearing
dressy, sweat-prone clothes.
Another tried-and-true tactic is to simply carry an extra
shirt with you at all times
youll just have to leave yourself
a couple of extra minutes to
change before class. Granted,
anyone who sees you multiple
times a day will probably cotton on (ha!) pretty quickly,
but theyll still look like a used
tea bag, so they wont be able
to judge too hard. If youre
still worried, though, you can
always tell everyone you just
came from the gym. Gym
sweat, for some reason, is far
more accepted than walkingto-class sweat. Whatever. Use
that to your advantage.
Your backpack is also a frenemy. Like an undershirt, what
it sacrifices in ventilation it can
make up for in its ability to trap
the sweat where it is. The trick is
managing to slip off your backpack and into your seat in one
fluid motion so as not to expose
your dampened shirt for even
the slightest instant your
classmates would surely recoil
in horror.
This final recommendation is
certainly easier said than done,
but its ultimately the most
rewarding: Stop caring. Own it.

The Daily Tar Heel

Net neutrality needed


to protect consumers

EDITORIAL

Missing opportunities
Migration shouldnt
be reserved for the
highest bidders.

hough not a
historically wellknown fact, in 1990
Congress effectively put
a price on American residency: $500,000 and the
creation of 10 jobs. At least
thats what is implied by
its EB-5 Program, which
exchanges foreign investment for immigrant visas.
With the programs popularity escalating rapidly,
the U.S. government must
carefully observe it and
possibly reign it in to
ensure the immigration of
the wealthy is not occurring
at the expense of poorer

migrants, some of whom


ought to be classified as
refugees.
American investors, including some in
Charlotte, have used this
program as a carrot to
attract foreign capital. But
when foreign investors
gain legal status, they are
cutting the line ahead of
potential migrants who
stand to gain far more
from legal U.S. residency.
Aside from this obvious ethical problem, it
is clear that all parties
involved could benefit
from a fairer approach.
In developing countries like the Philippines
which is also a strategic U.S. ally in Asia
remittances sent by

overseas workers to
families back home normally account for a relatively significant share of
national income.
An even more direct
influence on the American
economy is also the conveniently overlooked fact that
robust immigration will
keep the U.S. labor force
far younger than those in
Europe and Japan.
If the U.S. is still a city
upon a hill or ever was
one the government
must place a priority on
allowing immigrants from
modest backgrounds to
legally enter and work in
the country. The U.S. has
both a moral responsibility and an economic impetus to do so.

Municipal cat videos


New rules could
broaden rural
internet access.

he victory of net
neutrality last
month was rightly
hailed as a success.
But somewhat overlooked in its affirmation
was another welcome
effect of reclassifying
internet service as a utility: By doing so, the FCC
struck a significant blow
against laws like those
in North Carolina that
had prohibited municipal
internet providers from
filling in service gaps in
areas neglected by private companies.
Rural areas of North

Carolina, some
just several
miles away from
Chapel Hill, continue to be underserved by
telecommunications companies the same companies that backed legislation
to keep the government
from stepping in to provide
sufficient access.
Opponents claim that
incorporating internet
service into Title II will
leave these companies
prone to over-regulation
and stifle their innovative
tendencies. But, if anything, more regulation is
precisely what was needed
to ensure these companies
provide the service they
claim to offer and protect
customers from exploita-

tion. There remains little


in the way of oversight to
ensure that the coverage
maps these companies
provide correspond with
the areas where service is
practically available.
The quality of life
improvements associated
with the spread of the
internet are far too great
to be in any way limited
to those who can already
afford to live in areas
where the profit margins
for service providers are
the highest.
It is in the best interest of both the U.S. and
North Carolina to continue to ensure nothing
stands in the way of any
persons access to this
now-vital resource.

The Burn Book

On Wednesdays, we wear the truth


STATUS
TRUE
There has been a great deal
of controversy over the
claims from The Real Silent
Sam Coalition that William
Saunders was the Grand
Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan
in North Carolina. Some critics have accused the group
of perpetuating a distortion
of the historical record.
The record on Saunders is
fairly thin, but the groups
most salient claim seems
to be true: Saunders was a
central leader in a violent,
extralegal white supremacist movement.
The primary historical
account on Saunders was
written by historian J.G. de
Roulhac Hamilton, himself a
white supremacist and the
namesake of Hamilton Hall.

In his 1914 book, Reconstruction in North Carolina,


Hamilton, discussing the
organization of the Ku Klux
Klan, wrote: At the head
of the Invisible Empire in
North Carolina was Colonel
William L. Saunders, of Chapel Hill, who, although he
directed it, and, through it
to an extent, the other two
orders, for the membership
was often, and the leaders
nearly always, identical,
never took the oath of
membership and hence
was, strictly speaking, not a
member.
Hamilton identified a letter
he received from Joseph
Webb as his source. Hamilton described Webb as the
leader of the Orange County Ku Klux Klan. Saunders
was also called before a U.S.
Congressional hearing in
1871 on suspicion of being
an organizer of the Klan, but
Saunders refused to answer
any questions related to the
Ku Klux Klan.

At the time of Hamiltons


writing, identifying a person
as involved in the Ku Klux
Klan was not considered
shameful in North Carolina
it was considered an
honor. Hamiltons work
celebrated the Ku Klux Klan
as a shield against the influences of carpetbaggers and
black people. This attitude
can also be identified in a
Board of Trustees document from 1920 showcasing Saunders qualifications
to have a building named
after him. That document
also identifies Saunders
Klan leadership as a merit.
Whether Saunders was
technically a member
of the Klan and whether
he could accurately be
described as a Grand
Dragon is beside the point.
(Notably, Hamiltons account supports the latter
designation.) Saunders was
honored for being a white
supremacist leading a terrorist organization.

TO THE EDITOR:
In Tuesdays edition
of The Daily Tar Heel,
Zach Rachuba of Young
Americans for Liberty
wrote that net neutrality
does not favor consumers;
however, what few facts he
presented in his argument
were blatantly incorrect. In
general, I would find myself
agreeing with YAL, but
the discussion around this
issue has gotten so muddied with disinformation
that some otherwise wellintentioned observers have
ended up championing the
opportunity for a government-installed monopoly
to hold consumers paid-for
internet access for ransom.
I cant hope to explain the
technological issues completely in a few words here,
but the important thing to
understand is this: Lastmile providers (those who
are actually affected by net
neutrality rules) only provide internet access to you,
the consumer, and they do
not normally have anything
to do with content providers
such as Facebook, Google
and Netflix. However, in the
past several years, certain
last-mile providers have
been essentially holding
consumers for ransom by
demanding that Facebook,
Google and Netflix pay
them a second time to
deliver the internet access
that their real customers,
U.S. households, are already
paying for.
To use the grocery store
analogy, it has nothing to do
with shelf space (the internet at large), but it has to do
with the cashier (the lastmile provider). A proper
analogy for the current situation is that when you take,
say, your eggs to the cashier
and pay for them, the grocery store demands that
the farmers pay them a fee
or else they will not put the
eggs which you already
purchased into your cart.
If that sounds insane, its
because it is, yet that exact
same scenario is playing out
in the American last-mile
internet provider market.
Zach and the YAL are
justifiably suspicious of
increasing government regulation, but their concern is
misplaced and even dangerous here, because what the
government now wants to
regulate is not the free and
open internet, but rather a
part of it, which, for historical reasons, has been granted
a de facto government
monopoly; that is, the lastmile providers. It is widely
acknowledged that government monopolies such as
utilities, insofar as we cant
simply eliminate them, must
also be regulated. Ideally, the
last-mile monopoly would be
eliminated and a free market
established for consumer
internet access, but until that
happens, net neutrality regulations may be the only way
to protect consumers.

Environment must be
a priority at UNC
TO THE EDITOR:
According to a Gallup
poll, approximately 24 percent of Americans say they
worry a great deal about
the environment. This is an
astounding number in a time
in which climate change and
environmental issues should
be at the forefront of peoples
minds. An article by the New
York Times titled Ocean
Life Faces Mass Extinction,
Broad Study Says caught my
eye. The article states that
the terrestrial environment
has been on a downward
spiral and is practically
doomed, but the marine ecosystem can still be saved.
Yet the article makes
it clear that if humanity
doesnt take the necessary
steps toward conservation
efforts then we will be facing major problems.
The problem is that
humanity hasnt faced a
threat like this before. Its
not a war, an economic
crash or a social crisis.
People need to start recognizing that climate change
and environmental problems
are not going to go away, and
personally, I think that the
UNC community should be
more concerned in regards to
the environment. We should
be leading the charge as college students to protect and
conserve the world we live in.

Role of race is overblown in the media


TO THE EDITOR:
It seems that in every
news story lately, race plays
a major role. The reason
race has resurfaced as the
topic of focus is due to a
horrible tragedy in Chapel
Hill where three students
were killed by a middle-aged
man. However, notice in the
last sentence I did not use
race or religious affiliation
to describe either party.
Although race can simply
be used as a way of describing a persons appearance,
news articles seem to fixate
their entire story on race
or religion. When you look
at news stories about the
shooting, most of the titles
say three Muslims rather
than just saying three students or three young people.
Why is that? Well, society
has become desensitized to
stories about people being
killed, so the media tries to
overcompensate by dramatizing stories and being quick
to label something as a hate
crime. I am not saying that
hate crimes arent still a reoccurring issue, but the media
tends to portray the story
that is more likely to grab the
readers attention.
UNC, a school known to
create positive social change,
should try to put out stories
that focus more on the people in the stories rather than
on something as superficial
as race. However, in cases
where acts of racism are a
factor, I think race should
definitely be emphasized.
