When it comes to energy conservation,
UNC officials are learning that a little
effort can go a long way.

Amendment talk

Staff writer
The most powerful man in porn
is coming to the UNC campus.
Larry Flynt, pornography pub-
lisher and free speech activist, will
visit UNC on Feb. 18 to deliver a
speech at the School of Law’s sym-
posium titled “Sexually Explicit
Speech and the First Amendment.”
The free event — which could
draw protests and opposition from
women’s rights groups on campus
— will be hosted in the Great Hall.
Tickets will be available Monday.
Flynt, who was ranked by
Britain’s Arena Magazine in 2003
as the top man in porn, is the head
of Larry Flynt Publications, which
produces several sexually explicit
magazines, including Hustler
Magazine and Barely Legal.
Flynt’s experience with First
Amendment law includes the
milestone U.S. Supreme Court
case, Hustler Magazine v. Falwell.
In the case, Baptist minister Jerry
Falwell sued Flynt for libel after

“If you go back and look at David

GIMME SHELTER
Pet overpopulation an issue for local shelters
BY sarah glen
staff writer
Bob Marotto has a dog, a cat, a horse and
two goats.
He’ll be the first to tell you Orange County
has too many animals without homes.
Marotto, who is the director of Orange
County Animal Services, will address the
issue of pet overpopulation at the Orange
County Board of Commissioners work ses-
sion tonight.
When there are too many unwanted ani-
mals, the shelter has to euthanize some to
make room for more. Of the animals taken
in by the animal services department in
2009, about 43 percent were euthanized,
including 1,040 cats and 732 dogs.
“This is an issue of community and indi-
vidual responsibility of caring for our ani-
mals,” Marotto said.
The Animal Services Advisory Board
and Orange County Animal Services have
developed a five-year plan to reduce animal
overpopulation.
This plan involves targeting low-income
pet owners by partnering with AnimalKind,
a nonprofit organization that aims to “end
the unnecessary euthanasia” of pets in the
Triangle. It offers a program that provides
spay and neuter services for $20 to income-

qualified households.
Beth Livingstone, the AnimalKind
executive director who owns four dogs and
an inherited bird, said she commends the
efforts of Orange County officials for being
proactive on the issue.
“Multi-year strategic planning is the only
solution,” she said.
The plan, which was modeled after a sim-
ilar successful endeavor in New Hampshire,
is designed to decrease countywide eutha-
nasia to 35 percent or less and increase the
rate of targeted sterilization to about 600
per year within five years. The county steril-
ized about 200 dogs and cats in 2009.
Marotto said the plan is a cost-effective
way to address pet overpopulation.
Funds to support the plan will come from
the $20 FIX program and the county’s differ-
ential pet license, which requires reproduc-

attempt and has since been known
for his gold-plated wheelchair.
Flynt’s controversial profession
might spark protestors, said Dan
Kelly, editor of the First Amendment
Law Review at UNC, which invited
Flynt to speak on campus. Flynt will
not be paid to speak, he said.
“While I think protests are
entirely appropriate, I hope that we
won’t have a repeat of the Tancredo
incident from last year,” he said, ref-
erencing the uproar during a speech
by former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo,
R-Colo., about illegal immigration.
Junior Leah Josephson, co-
chairwoman of student govern-
ment’s women’s affairs committee,
said her committee will consider
protesting the event.
“I think Hustler is a magazine that
has been pushing the limit of the
objectification of women for years,
and it absolutely was the beginning
of the hardcore porn market,” she
said. “I don’t think that pornography
is a free speech issue because I think
it inspires rape culture.”
Flynt said he was not familiar with

The annual count of Orange
County’s homeless residents that
started Wednesday is expected to
reveal a higher number than in
previous years.
But the 24-hour head count is
never really scientific, critics of the
process say. In the past few years,
the definition of “homelessness”
has changed, new locations have
been included and the weather
conditions have affected the num-
ber of people outdoors.
Still, the number is required
for certain grants from the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development, said Vanessa
Neustrom, housing specialist for
the Orange, Person and Chatham
Area Program.
The Orange County Partnership
to End Homelessness started the
Point-in-Time Count Wednesday,
going to various places like homeless
camps or shelters and counting off
the homeless. The group also asks
the people a number of questions,
such as whether they are disabled
and whether they are veterans.
The count should go up this year
because the partnership is looking
for homeless in two new locations:
the Inter-Faith Council Community
Kitchen and a Carrboro location
where day laborers often wait for
work, Neustrom said.
The clear weather also could
raise the number of homeless stay-
ing outside overnight. Last year, a
storm might have caused homeless
to seek shelter indoors.
Although the number fluctu-
ates, it is required as part of the
partnership’s application for a
$144,000 grant to aid the home-
less, Neustrom said.
Number of
homeless counted
2008: 195
2007: 208
2006: 237
Money from the grant will go
toward providing supportive housing
for the homeless, specifically target-
ing individuals with disabilities.
Part of the reason numbers have
gone down is because the depart-
ment has tightened up its defini-
tion since 2006, Neustrom said.
Homeless people in jails, hospi-
tals and detox centers are no lon-
ger included in the count, she said.
One housing program in Chatham
County also was removed.

coordinator for the partnership,
said the number also does not

E-book sales at

At just a half-inch thick and 1.5
pounds, Apple’s newly unveiled
iPad weighs a lot less than the stan-
dard biology textbook.
With the technology to display
and interact with digital textbooks,
the iPad could surpass the ranks of
other digital textbook readers, such
as Amazon’s Kindle.
The announcement, which may
have trumped the anticipation of
President Barack Obama’s first
State of the Union address, was
heralded by Apple CEO Steve Jobs
as revolutionary.
The iPad launch was coupled
with the announcement of Apple’s
new online bookstore, known as
iBooks. Books sold through iBooks
would be accessible on the iPad.
All of this could mean a bigger
push for the now-fledgling elec-
tronic textbook industry.
CourseSmart, which produces
digital versions of textbooks pro-
duced by many of the top textbook
publishers in the U.S. and works
with UNC, already has an applica-
tion that allows students to access
their electronic textbooks on their
iPhone, said CourseSmart spokes-
woman Gabrielle Zucker.
“They can literally hold their
textbooks in their hand,” she said.
Because the iPad will operate
with the same technology as the
iPhone, CourseSmart textbooks
should be easily accessible from
the iPad, she said.

Collins aims to end RHA tenure as its president

Only one candidate this year is
truly going to hit home with most

is running unopposed for presi-

Department representatives said
the amount of savings is growing
daily. And with an average annual
energy bill of $83 million, every
amount of savings counts.
Chris Martin, director of energy
management at UNC and leader of
the initiative, said his office’s cam-
paign to aggressively attack energy
consumption has been more suc-
cessful than they imagined.
Senior administrators backed
the idea, and the group set about
finding ways to conserve energy.
“We got the message loud and
clear, and once we got to that point,
we had a short planning period to
find the most productive things to
do,” he said.
A struggling economy drove the
group to consider cheap initiatives
instead of major changes that have
a significant impact.
“The intent was to find the larg-
est opportunity for energy savings
for the least amount of money,”
Martin said.
The project consists of seven
projects split into two phases.

Collins has been in the RHA
since his freshman year and said
he is excited to continue working
with it.
“The organization has under-
gone a massive overhaul to improve
its strength this year, and I’d really
like to see that through,” Collins
said.
If elected president, Collins will

computerized changes, such as

while the second is more hands-

the community.
The group has addressed specific
issues across campus as they moved
through the phases, taking input
from students, staff and faculty
members through its Web site.
“I can identify energy waste in
the morning and fix it by the after-
noon,” said Jim McAdam, energy
engineer with the department.
“We’re seeing immediate feedback,
and we’re learning a lot.”
While many of the department’s
changes have been simple techno-
logical changes, solving energy
waste isn’t always easy.
One difficult area the depart-
ment is trying to tackle is waste in
the labs. Fume hoods — lab tech-
nology that prevent the dispersion
of dangerous chemicals — consume
a great deal of energy because air
has to constantly circulate to flush
out toxic fumes.
To reduce the amount of ener-
gy used to maintain these hoods,

movies. I’m a big fan Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, Hoyle is on the job
Mostly, however, Hoyle learned from on-the-spot experience. One
such lesson sticks out in his mind from his time at the Janice.

bastion of Hollywood. ’
all the way in New York and Cambridge, Mass., Hoyle knows the true
test of a projectionist’s ability.
“There was a projectionist at a Harvard Square theater, and he said to
Stuart Hoyle, Varsity Projectionist me once that projecting is a really easy job until something goes wrong,”
he recalled. “And then you get to find out how good you are.
“If you can go up into the booth and get it back into working order
in two minutes or less then you’re a good projectionist. Five minutes,
you’re an OK projectionist. If you can’t do it, or you give up, you’re not
a good projectionist.”
When asked about his own abilities, Hoyle was politely demure, but
admitted that he didn’t encounter problems often, and when he did he
found quick solutions. That could only be expected from someone with
his kind of experience.
Hoyle, who is 51, was born in North Carolina and moved all around
the Piedmont with his family in his early years. He landed his first pro-
jectionist job at the Janice Theater in Greensboro when he was 21.
“I had never worked a movie theater before that,” he said. “My boss,
worked out.”
After a short time at the Janice, Hoyle moved up to New York City.
There he landed a projecting job at the infamous 8th Street Playhouse,
the Greenwich Village theater that launched “The Rocky Horror Picture
Show” into cult status with regular midnight showings. Though the
Playhouse was known for its transgressive streak, Hoyle’s four-month
tenure there was relatively uneventful, even when he broke labor laws.
As a member of the projectionist’s union in North Carolina, Hoyle didn’t
join the theater’s required union when working at the Playhouse. Despite
being an accidental scab, Hoyle insisted that he never had to cross a picket
line, a lucky break in the heavily unionized and activist movie business.
By 1989, Hoyle enrolled as an undergraduate at the University of Iowa,
and from there went to the University of Texas for graduate school, where
he studied cinema’s much older cousin: theater.
Before he went off to school, however, he had worked additional movie
houses in the Boston area and in Chapel Hill. One of those theaters was
the Varsity, which hired Hoyle shortly after converting into a two-screen
venue in 1981. His first stint there was for four years. He came back after
grad school in the early ’90s, as he recalls, and through ups and downs
in the movie business — as well as three changes in ownership — he has
been there ever since.
Except, that is, for the scary months last year when the Varsity was
closed and its future was uncertain. When former owner Bruce Stone
made the announcement in June that he was closing shop, Hoyle’s first
concern was understandable: “I’m out of a job.”
He traveled the Triangle by bus looking for other theaters, applying at
such disparate venues as Southpoint Cinemas and the Carolina Theater.
But then came good news: two Chapel Hill residents, Paul and Susan
Shareshian, were reopening the Varsity, and they wanted Hoyle to return
to his old job.
“I heard from people on the street that they were looking for me,” he
recalled.
Of the newly remodeled Varsity that he calls home, Hoyle spoke very
positively.
“Paul has made a lot of really good, dramatic changes,” he said. “It’s
much more attractive now.”
Even in the parts of the Varsity that haven’t been renovated, such as
the projection booth, Hoyle seems to enjoy his job. He eagerly describes
the process of projection, which involves implements with such sug-
gestive names as “feed-out platter” and “the brain,” to interested lay-
customers. And of course he gets to see tons of free movies.
“That’s one of the things that’s influenced the way I live. I go to see a
lot of movies. I’m a big fan of movies. I’m the last bastion of Hollywood,”
he joked.
Hoyle has also noticed increased appreciation from the town, noting
that business at the Varsity is steadily improving.
“The town is saying, ‘Thank you, and welcome back,” he said.
And this is something special for Hoyle, for whom the Varsity is more
than just a job.
“The Varsity is more special to me because I’ve worked off and on here
so very long,” he concluded.
“I’ve worked in movie theaters so long that the theater I work at is
my home.”

keywords for robots ep
pop
Like fellow pop act Spoon,
Wembley isn’t afraid of a little dis-
cord and darkness. From the first
few bars to the last haunting notes,
the Keywords for Robots EP, a set of
four concise, emotion-packed songs,
resonates with the kind of angst and
melodic structure that belies a band
mature beyond its years.
The record, available as a free
download on the band’s Web site,
relies primarily on occasionally
off-kilter chord progressions that
jolt the listener to attention. The
songs waste no time on formula,
instead delivering eerie, jangly
piano that maintains a constant
presence amidst a bevy of other
instruments.
Wembley’s penchant for experi-
mentation and innovation never
deters from the album’s polish or
focus.
Though each track is peppered
with disparate influences — such
as Chatham County Line member
Greg Readling’s pedal steel contri-
bution on “Shipwreck” — the con-
tinuous presence of piano unites
what might otherwise be chaotic.
The songs are further stream-
lined by singer Neven J. Carswell’s
dexterous voice, a wavering, but
forceful wail that conveys every-
thing from tense frustration to
mourning and resolve.
And though the group largely
succeeds at crafting an impactful
album, Spoon is also a good lesson
in what the band lacks — namely,
a challenge. The EP is thoroughly
digestible, and while there’s much
to be said for straightforwardness,
Diversions

mark with a self-titled album that
evokes the warm familiarity of clas-
sic Americana turned worldly.
Distinguished by jazz, blues,
rock and a touch of country, among
others, Yates entertains multiple
genres with an innate honesty.
Repeated listens reveal layers of
influence and instrumentation that
don’t grow stale over time.
“My Way Out” kicks off the album
with an aged sound and a fresh ener-
gy with jazzy undertones, and strong,
punchy piano. During the chorus,
his raspy vocals recall a young Rod
Stewart, further propelling his fusion
of myriad sounds and genres.
On the later part of the album,
Yates slows the groove down with “I
Run” and “Sing For You,” lamenting
about love lost and loneliness with
soft guitar and a softer croon that
make the heart twinge with bitter-
sweet lyrics and a moving melody.
As a whole, the album oozes
with cool, and Yates keeps things
mysterious—whether it’s with his
infectious lyrics, a throwback to
classic sounds or a country twang-
infused barroom ballad.
Although Yates defines his
music with the keys, the plethora
of influences make this album hard
to label. It’s soulful and sweet with
a little something for everyone.
While the creativity may be lim-
ited, Yates reminds listeners that a

Local bands unite for the arts

Benefit to support arts at Durham school
By Joseph Chapman
Staff writer
For a large portion of today’s col-
lege kids, arts classes were a steady
and integral part of their education.
From violin to finger paint, many
students can count this stimulation
as a benefit.
But for students of Durham’s
Central Park School for Children,
a free charter school that serves
pupils in kindergarten through
fifth grade, this hasn’t always been
the case.
“We didn’t have an art teacher
at all last year,” said Heather Cook,
teacher at the school and founder
of Save Our Arts, a benefit show
started last year to raise money for
the school’s diminishing arts pro-
grams.
Friday, Cook will get help from
an all Durham line-up lead by
popular folk act Megafaun as the
second annual benefit takes over
downtown’s Trotter Building.
After raising more than $2,000
on what essentially amounted to
Cook’s free time, this year, with a
budget from the school, she hopes
to raise even more for arts pro-
grams at her school.
The money from last year’s show
was mostly put into the pockets of
teachers to buy much needed art
supplies for the classroom.
Funds from this year’s benefit,
starSystem
Poor
taken from a suggested $10 dona-
tion at the door, will support staff
development for the arts and fund
field trips to galleries and perfor-
mances alongside an even larger
budget for art supplies. Cook even
hopes to create a darkroom for the
school.
“We want to make sure that arts
are incorporated into what they’re
doing in the classroom,” she said.
Catherine Edgerton of Midtown
Dickens, one of the bands playing
Friday, related the importance of
arts education to the role music
has in her own life.
“I think that cognitively, playing
music has done a ton for me in the
last four years in regards to how I
achieve my goals and my confidence,
and I’m an adult,” she said. “You can
imagine what that could do for kids
who are still developing.”
Members of fellow participat-
ing band The Beast, which features
two UNC graduates, had similar
philosophies, according to band
member Pierce Freelon.
“We’ve certainly benefited from
a robust arts education, and it’s
been so integral and inspiring and
uplifting in our lives that we defi-
nitely support the cause,” he said.
“I couldn’t imagine not having arts
in my life.”
Indeed arts education is some-
thing that The Beast feels strongly
about. The band often leads music
workshops for kids.
“In recent years, arts have been
taken out of the curriculum,”

Freelon said.
“With the No Child Left Behind
act, there’s been a shift in priorities
from nurturing a creative, curious
student to standardized testing and
rigid models of measuring students’
abilities.”
For Cook, arts education is nec-
essary to develop fully rounded
students, and she hopes to use
the money raised to involve the
Durham arts community with the
school.
“When you support our school
and give to this benefit it really does
help to branch out to the other art-

“We do a lot of artist in residency.
We contract local artists to come in
for everything from teaching kids
how to square-dance to teaching
African drumming.”
That variety in education will
be mirrored in Friday’s line-up.
With the jazz-infused hip-hop of
The Beast sharing the stage with
the powerful rock of Hammer No
More The Fingers, it brings in some
of the area’s hottest, most critically
acclaimed bands while also provid-
ing a wide range of musical styles.
In the case of Hammer, the
benefit will give Cook a chance to
see one of her favorite bands in
person.

Album from the Vaults:
Serge Gainsbourg, Histoire de
Melody Nelson: For the record, Dive
doesn’t endorse pedophilia, but
on this 1971 release, Gainsbourg
makes his love affair with 14-year-
old Melody sound enchanting. The
language barrier makes it difficult
to follow, but that doesn’t change
the fact that this record paved the
way for pop chanteurs everywhere.
Movie from the Vaults:
“Hiroshima Mon Amour”: Alain
Resnais’ 1960 interpretation of
Marguerite Duras’ text bottles up
the myriad evils of war and love and
delivers it in one beautiful, post-
modern package. Sure, it’s in French,
but it’s easy to forget that you’re
reading subtitles when Resnais’
cinematography and direction can
create such wondrous and shocking
landscapes.

market
H
ippies and drug deal-
ers surrounded me.
The houses and shops,
covered in murals and graffiti,
were cobbled together from the
remaining scraps of the aban-
doned Danish naval base.
From the stalls along aptly-
named Pusher Street , you could
buy eclectic trinkets, question-
able fashions and every sort of
pipe, bubbler and bong imagin-
able. The sale of cannabis was
barely concealed in the shadows
nearby. The outdoor bar served
local organic beers, and the
biggest industry was a bicycle
shop. The squatters’ paradise of
Christiania made Carrboro look
solidly right-wing.
And as I walked through this
counter-cultural commune nes-
tled within the Danish capital of
Copenhagen, I could only think
one thing: “I have never seen
more capitalists in my life.”
Confused? Let me explain.
Free markets have taken a
lot of heat recently. Wall Street
bankers made fortunes from the
destruction of Main Street, they
say. We blame unchecked greed
for wiping out savings and leav-
ing so many unemployed. It’s
certainly true that banks made
huge mistakes, hurting millions
of people around the world.
But looking to Wall Street as a
shining example of free markets
is like looking to John Edwards
as an example of fidelity.
The essence of the free market
is voluntary action. Christiania
was built on little else.
Wall Street survives because
we were forced to bail them out.
Pusher Street, however, thrives
solely on nonviolent, voluntary
trade.
The same entrepreneurial
spirit can be seen here in Chapel
Hill. The Campus Y is raising
money to alleviate the suffering
in Haiti.
Scott Maitland expanded his
operations at Top of the Hill with
the new Great Room and Back
Bar , with plans for a distillery.
Adam Bliss is keeping his hookah
bar open, and is choosing to fight
the recent smoking ban rather
than go out of business.
You’re part of a free market
whenever you give blood, buy a
hamburger, go on a date, send
your mother a birthday card,
donate to charity or plan a road
trip.
Interacting with others volun-
tarily, without the use of force or
fraud, is what best defines true
free market societies.
Understanding free markets
is crucial to America’s peace
and prosperity. Life under the
Bush administration saw a mas-
sive erosion of these peaceful
principles.
America recently lost its rank-
ing as a free economy in the
Index of Economic Freedom, and
it’s no surprise why. Wall Street
has become a revolting capitalist-
socialist hybrid, where profits are
private but losses are John Q.
Taxpayer’s concern.
Access to health care is limited
by senseless regulations that
stifle competition and lessen con-
sumer choice of insurance.
For a true picture of the free
market, forget the crony capital-
ism of Wall Street. Look to the
independent risk takers of Pusher
Street, Franklin Street and Main
Streets across the nation.
They’re the ones making our
world prosperous, creating value
through trade rather than force.
They accept that there are risks
to business and that failure is
possible. They don’t expect to be
bailed out by their political bud-
dies.
They, not the CEOs with
multi-million dollar bonuses, are
the true capitalists.

deficit. This past year, only one
undergraduate returned from

Three victims from the

struck Haiti arrived at UNC
Hospitals on Tuesday for
treatment.
Each of these patients has
a heart-wrenching story, and
we’re proud to have a hospital

their needs.
It’s not often that Americans

such a mass scale as we’re
doing with Haiti — and thank
goodness.

We couldn’t be happier.
This week, the Student

around campus online.
And the transition seems to
have been completed without
any of the major technological
mishaps most of us brace for

The old process was inef-

in line the night before just to
reserve a room.

ence will be missed, but the

A small stipend for leading
Congress members is not a
handout. It’s a way for the stu-
dent body to encourage great-
er commitment to an elected
position.
The paid positions should
include the speaker, speaker pro
tem and committee chairmen.
A modest monthly stipend
that comes directly from
existing student fees could
go a long way in encourag-
ing members to stick with
Congress and climb the lad-
der of leadership.
It would introduce an ele-
ment of competitiveness that
is sorely needed.
And when members stick
quickly and precisely. The
hospital just got word of the
patients’ needs Tuesday, and
doctors are already attending
to them.
To add to the hospital’s char-
ity, even the community has
chipped in.
These patients speak
Haitian Creole — so several
community members who
speak the language have come
forward to help with the lan-
guage barrier.
UNC Hospitals will be
compensated for the cost of
caring for these patients —
but that doesn’t diminish the
challenge.
The hospital has one of the
best burn centers in the world,
register without leaving their
beds.
Don Luse, director of the
Carolina Union, said that the
system was created in response
to a request from the Carolina
Union Activities Board and
complaints from student
groups.
It’s nice to see administra-
tors being so responsive to stu-
dents, and Luse and his team
seem to have created a system
that’s win-win. It’s easier for
students and Union employees
don’t have to plan for students

Now the only problem seems
to be with students. Some
students didn’t complete the

around, they better understand
the process. A body of neophytes
cannot possibly be as productive
or effective as a veteran group.
And of course, paying mem-
bers at the top of the hierarchy
has its own benefits.
Being paid from student fees
makes these members finan-
cially beholden to the student
body — not just symbolically
indebted.
Good work deserves a good
reward.
With no paid positions in
Congress right now, there is
little initiative for those who
care to work harder than those
who want to add student gov-
ernment to their resume.
It is time for this to
change.
and treating victims of the
Haiti earthquake is a testa-
ment to the dedication of the
entire burn unit.
The Haitians have seen their
government, their homes and
their livelihoods collapse.
Florida is bursting with refu-
gees, and chances are that vic-
tims in need of medical atten-
tion will be sent farther up the
coast. UNC Hospitals should
stand ready to take in more
patients.
But for now, UNC Hospitals
is tasked with providing the
best care possible for these
three patients. The doctors and
nurses are doing a commend-
able job in a time of unspeak-
able tragedy.
plunging into this new area.
Just because you don’t have to
spend the night doesn’t mean
you’re not responsible for
completing the application.
Luse said the Union will
wait for more comments before
making any changes to the sys-
tem.
This seems like a well-mea-
sured response.
There’s little about the new
system that needs changing,
but perhaps it would be benefi-
cial to all parties to have some
feature that slows the process
down a bit — ensuring that
students correctly complete the
online application.
Overall, we’re pleased with
the new room registration
system the Union staff has
designed, making it less of a
hassle for students to simply
reserve a room.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Addressing some common
misbeliefs about SafeWalk
TO THE EDITOR:
We would like to address a few
common misconceptions regard-
ing the SafeWalk program.
Indeed, the program does not
currently walk students off cam-
pus, with the exception of Granville
Towers and Greek housing.
Expanding to off-campus
areas has been the intention
from the very start, but serving
off-campus areas is inherently
more complex and places great-
er demand on SafeWalk and its
employees. This first semester is
designed to help us ensure our
system functions efficiently and
our staffing level can handle the
demand before expanding.
We will be constantly evaluat-
ing our capacity to expand cover-
age off-campus, and we intend to
do so as soon as is feasible. And
while walking intoxicated students
home is not SafeWalk’s primary
intent, we will walk students as
long as it is safe for them to walk;
otherwise, we will find them a way
home — i.e., the P2P.
Duke’s SafeRides, while a
useful program, costs almost
$300,000 to run as of 10
years ago and costs surely have
increased since. SafeWalk’s goal
is to keep spending low.
Please keep your thoughts on
SafeWalk coming. We are con-
stantly evaluating and looking
for ways to improve the program,
and student feedback is crucial
to that process.

UNC made a wise choice
in summer reading book
TO THE EDITOR:
For this year’s summer read-
ing, UNC hit a home run.
“Picking Cotton” has many ele-
ments that make it not only a
great choice for incoming fresh-
men, but for all UNC students.
The true story of Ronald
Cotton, who was wrongly impris-
oned for 11 years based on eyewit-
ness testimony given by Jennifer
Thompson-Cannino, is a pas-
sionate tale of the imperfections
of our legal system and the ability
to correct those problems. And it
illustrates some of the uplifting
aspects of human nature: forgive-
ness, redemption and friendship.
The story is one fit for the big
screen, and the book was impos-
sible to put down; I read it in one
sitting. It also made me proud to
be affiliated with this University.
The two lawyers who paved the
way for Mr. Cotton’s exoneration
were a UNC law professor and a
UNC alumnus.
From Thompson-Cannino’s
compelling testimony against her
accused rapist to Cotton’s heart-
breaking wrongful imprisonment
and finally, his forgiveness and
their subsequent friendship and
mission to educate the world on
the dangers of eyewitness iden-
tification, “Picking Cotton” is not
only an excellent choice for sum-
mer reading, but a must-read for
everyone. I strongly encourage
you to check it out, and tell your
friends to do the same.

The Daily Tar Heel
In fact, UNC has no rival
in N.C. State basketball
TO THE EDITOR:
I can sympathize with Mr.
Allred’s frustrations in his let-
ter, “Article should’ve focused on
rivalry, not team’s woes,” (Jan. 27).
I, too, was less than enthusiastic
to see the headline of The Daily
Tar Heel Tuesday morning, but
we knew that it would only serve
as motivation for our young team.
However, he goes too far. UNC has
no rival in Raleigh.
You must play for more than
mere conference rankings in rival-
ry games. Sometimes you might
fight for something tangible like a
bell or a cup. Or student newspa-
pers of rival schools may concoct
an ongoing wager regarding the
color of the loser’s masthead fol-
lowing a loss.
Another thing you might see
in a rivalry is extreme celebration,
like filling a main thoroughfare of
town with rabid, screaming fans
after what is always a meaning-
ful victory. Lastly, rivalries tend to
insert themselves into the cheers
and songs of the adversaries.
There is a UNC rivalry that
encompasses all those traits. We
fight against our rivals for the
Victory Bell and the Carlyle Cup,
to see our colors plastered across
the Chronicle’s masthead, to rush
Franklin Street in victorious ecsta-
sy and for a pride so strong that
Will Blythe had to dedicate an
entire book to it.

Corporations can in fact
change people’s views
TO THE EDITOR:
While Brandon Blalock brings
up some valid points in his letter to
the editor (“People’s political opin-
ions formed by more than ads,”
Jan. 27), his argument contains
one minor flaw: Corporations like
Wal-Mart are not people but a
company made up of people.
When Wal-Mart expresses its
political ideas by donating a lim-
itless amount of campaign dollars
to one political candidate, it is the
executive members of that compa-
ny who are making that decision.
Historically, these execu-
tives are mostly older, Caucasian
males. Just another example of the
majority making a decision and
speaking for the minority. How is
it possible that every employee of
one company supports the same
political candidate? The Supreme
Court decision takes the vote out
of the hands of the average citi-
zen and places more power in the
hands of those who already have
the most power and influence.
Also, Blalock argues that ads
are not that influential in persuad-
ing a person’s decision to vote for
one candidate over the other. But
the sad truth is that statistics have
consistently shown that the major-
ity of Americans are apathetic or
uninformed about political issues.
If advertisements weren’t highly
influential, then why would com-
panies spend millions of dollars
for a 30-second spot during the
Super Bowl? Companies know
how to use their brands to influ-
ence people on their emotions
rather than rationale, and this
will be the unfortunate case when
election time rolls around.
