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.

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

Ikea hide-and-seek
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.

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

The stand is scheduled to stay open until
May 8, but both CDS and Ben and Jerrys

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

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.

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
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

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.
EDITORIAL
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-
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.
