The Souths oldest rivalry

The Board of Governors

will name the new
system president today.
By Hayley Fowler
State & National Editor

It only took a week to force

out UNC-system President Tom
Ross, but it has cost the Board of
Governors 10 arduous months to
select his successor.
Today, the 34-member board will
announce the
new president.
The search
process has been
heavily criticized
for its closeddoor nature, and
no candidate
names have been
publicly released Margaret

announced today.
But the
UNC-system
Faculty Assembly hinted at former
Secretary of Education Margaret
Spellings who was spotted at an
emergency board meeting last week
in a statement Thursday, using
gender-specific pronouns despite
referring to an unknown individual.
The faculty will not prejudge the
commitment of the new president
to the well-being of the University,
the statement reads. But she must
understand that the secretive character of this search, and her own
indifference to consulting with staff
and faculty when she was an active
candidate for the position, will make
it difficult to win the confidence and
trust of the University community.

The rumored replacement

The moment Spellings appearance was first reported on social
media last Friday, her ability to lead
the system was put on public trial.
Spellings, who is now president
of the George W. Bush Presidential
Center, is remembered for her role
in the Bush Administration and in
the disputed No Child Left Behind
Act a 2001 policy born from
the idea that disadvantaged K-12
students shouldnt fall through the
cracks of public education.
Vanessa Jeter, spokesperson
for the N.C. Department of Public
Instruction, said the law intensified the focus on achievement gaps
among different groups of students
in North Carolina.
While the state already had yearly
end-of-grade and end-of-course
assessments that Spellings initiative required, Jeter said a standard
requesting every student be 100
percent proficient by 2013-14 presented some difficulties for schools.
States were fairly uncomfortable
with that 100 percent target, she
said. Its difficult to reach 100 percent of anything.
In 2005, The Daily Tar Heel
reported on comments Spellings
made regarding the creation of
similar standards for institutions of
higher education.
One of our biggest challenges is
a lack of compatible and comprehensive measurements the kind
of information parents have come to
expect from K through 12 schools,
she said during a speech to the
American Council on Education.

UNC and Virginia have met

119 times since 1892
By Pat James
Sports Editor

The North Carolina football teams

oldest rival is one who goes unnoticed.
Ask any UNC fan who is the Tar
Heels greatest nemesis, and theyll
likely answer either N.C. State or
Duke. Even when Larry Fedora
arrived in Chapel Hill prior to the
2012 season, he was unaware of
the longstanding tradition between
UNC and Virginia.
Over the past 123 years, the Tar
Heels have met the Cavaliers on the
gridiron 119 times. Neither program
has played an opponent more than
these border adversaries.
Saturdays contest at Kenan
Stadium marks the 120th game
in the series dubbed the Oldest
Rivalry in the South, tying it for
the second-longest series in NCAA
Football Bowl Subdivision history.
But despite playing each other for
over a century and regularly vying
for the same recruits, the contest
between UNC and UVa. lurks in the
shadows of some of college footballs
biggest rivalries.

A long tradition
The Tar Heels and the Cavaliers
began their series with two games in
1892. UVa. seized a 30-18 victory in
Charlottesville, Virginia before dropping the season finale 26-0.
Over their next 20 meetings, the
Tar Heels managed only three victories against the Cavaliers, as UVa.

established a 17-4-1 lead in the series

through 1915.
Both schools suspended football
from 1917 to 1918 because of World
War I. But since 1919, North Carolina
has played the Cavaliers every season.
From 1919 to 1950, UNC squared
off against UVa. in its regular season
finale 28 of 32 times.
North Carolinas victory in 1927
sparked a string of victories over the
Cavaliers, as UNC proceeded to win
41 of its next 54 games against UVa.
But in 1982, the Cavaliers made
a coaching change that shifted the
rivalry in their favor, hiring George
Welsh from Navy.
I really didnt know much about
the rivalry, but soon after I got here,
a couple of our alumni said, Weve
got to start beating North Carolina,
he said.
It wasnt Virginia Tech then,
going back to 82 and 83, it was
North Carolina. Thats the way it
was for a while.
With Welsh at the helm, the
Cavaliers went 13-5-1 against the Tar
Heels during his 19-year tenure and
never dropped a home game to UNC.
In fact, it wasnt until 2010 that
the Tar Heels won again at UVa.,
breaking a 14-game losing streak in
Charlottesville.
North Carolina leads the all-time
series against Virginia 62-53-4, and
the long history between the two
schools is only enhanced by their
recruiting battles.

In a departure from previous policy, the U.S.

Department of Education released long-awaited
data on graduation rates for students who receive
federal Pell Grants, including UNCs. But there is
an issue: The data might be wrong.
Compared to independent data collected by the
Education Trust, an education nonprofit based in
Washington, D.C., the departments numbers are
off by an average of 10 percentage points.
At UNC, that gap is nearly 30 percentage points,
as the federal government reported only 57 percent
of UNCs Pell Grant recipients graduate in six years
versus UNCs self-reported figure of almost 87 percent in 2008. The federal governments data was
obtained from the National Student Loan Database
System, a transactional database that has info for all
students who receive federal aid.
The database is set up to track students who
have to pay back loans, so students who only
receive a Pell Grant but not loans will likely
be missed, said Sarah Butrymowicz, data editor
for the Hechinger Report, a nonprofit news organization focused on education.
Higher education activists who sought the
data cited concerns that students who receive

Alexa Newfield sparks comeback win

The forward
tallied a goal
and an assist
in 22 minutes.
WOMENS SOCCER

NORTH CAROLINA
NOTRE DAME

By Jeremy Vernon
Assistant Sports Editor

Alexa Newfield played just 13

minutes in the second half of the No.
9 North Carolina womens soccer
teams match against No. 15 Notre
Dame on Thursday, but she made
sure to make every one count.
After sitting out the better part
of the first half with a leg injury
and watching her team go down 1-0
against the Fighting Irish (11-4-1,
4-4-0 ACC), the sixth-year senior
contributed a goal and an assist,
lifting the Tar Heels (12-3-1, 5-3-0
ACC) to a 2-1 win and helping snap
UNCs three-game losing streak.
I was afraid in the first half
and kind of calmed myself down,
Newfield said. They said they wanted
to limit my minutes and as a player ...
you gotta work with what you got.
In the tenth minute of Thursdays
contest, Newfield injured her knee
while attempting a free kick just outside the Notre Dame box. For a player
with Newfields injury history, any
aggravation causes feelings of anxiety.
Since 2012, the Atlanta native has
had a slew of leg injuries that caused
her to miss significant time in her
playing career. As Newfield limped off
the field in the first half, Coach Anson
Dorrance expected the worst.
I was in terror because I walked
over to (Newfield) and I couldnt
get anything out of her, Dorrance
said. I was nervous ... and not just

nervous for my team but I was really

upset for Lex.
The sixth-year senior would sit
the remaining 36 minutes of the
first half, but luckily for Dorrance
and the Tar Heels, there was no
major damage. After speaking with
Newfield and the team trainer at
halftime, Dorrance decided to limit
his star-forward to 13 minutes in the
second half. It was all she needed.
In the 61st minute, Newfield

checked into the game with the Tar

Heels down 1-0. Less than 10 minutes
later, she had a chance to tie the game.
After faking a shot just outside
the Notre Dame box, junior midfielder Joanna Boyles slipped a ball
to Newfield, who was fouled in the
box while making her run.
A short time later, the forward
lined up and blasted a penalty kick
by Notre Dames keeper to give UNC
their first goal in over 315 minutes.

Students Quest to be crowned

UNC student Jim Curry
participated in a new
type of reality show.
Staff Writer

COURTESY OF JIM CURRY

UNC graduate student Jim Curry was cast in the ABC reality show The Quest.

called immersive reality.

The 12 contestants, called paladins or knights were then thrown
into that world to live out the fantasy.
Curry said producers were set
on creating an illusion of reality.
They wanted us to truly believe
we were in a fantasy world, so they
did very well to hide the cameras,
hide the directors, he said. Its
forcing your body to shed the
world that you know and accept.
Contestants were eliminated one
by one, as only one true hero could
emerge in Everealm.
Curry wont give away the ending or say if he was crowned the
one true hero. He just tells people
to watch it on Netflix.
Brian Farmer, a UNC Quidditch
player, said he thought Currys
speaking skills and his general
amiability probably helped him
land a spot on the show.
When he says stuff, it sounds
like it should have been written down ahead of time, he said.
People are drawn to him.

Shauna Hines, another member

of the Quidditch team, said Curry is
also very energetic and motivated.
I just feel like he really embodied what that show was aiming
for, she said.
Reminiscing on the casting process, Curry said he saw a different
side of himself than he saw growing
up someone braver, someone able
to step outside his comfort zone.
Curry credits his passion for
other fantasy stories as the driving
force behind that breakout.
My love of Harry Potter and fantasy supersedes the fear that would
usually keep me from doing something like this, he said. I knew this
was made for me, so that was my
prime drive through casting.
Curry said he has fallen in love
with the storyline and the characters. He has gone back and revisited filming locations in Austria.
I would hands down drop
everything and go do it again.

but time and time again she seems
to come back to surprise everyone.
According to Boyles, Thursday was
just one of those moments.

she always keeps on fighting and she

People of color to
take over quad
Organizers said theyre
seeking healing and a
sense of connection.

By Elizabeth Baker
Being a geek is something Jim
Curry is passionate about.
Growing up in Arkansas, the
UNC graduate student was known
as the Harry Potter guy.
So when he was browsing a
Harry Potter fansite and saw a
vague casting call for a new reality
television program, The Quest,
he knew he had to apply.
I just remember seeing a big
ad on the Harry Potter site saying,
If you love fantasy and want to be
part of a new television experience,
you should write to us, Curry said.
My first instinct was, Oh my gosh,
theyre doing a Harry Potter TV
show. I have to be part of this.
Still unsure as to what the show
actually was, Curry applied. In July,
he got a call saying hed been cast.
Soon after, he left to start filming.
He did not know his final destination until he checked into the Bill
and Hillary Clinton National Airport.
My mother was probably a
wreck, Curry said. My parents and
my brother were really the only ones
I could tell. Otherwise, no one knew
where I was going or what I was
doing. They just knew I was away
for an extended period of time.
The reality show turned out
to be an ABC series called The
Quest which was filmed in Vienna,
Austria, in the summer of 2013 and
aired in the summer of 2014.
The brainchild of the executive
producers of The Amazing Race and
The Lord of the Rings, The Quest
wasnt an ordinary reality show.
Producers created their own
fantasy world, delving into a genre

I guess she wanted to make sure

it went in the back of the net, because
she just drove it right through the
goalkeeper, Dorrance said.
In the 74th minute, Newfield set
up for a free kick, picked her spot and
found Boyles making a run across the
face of the goal. The midfielder was
able to flip the ball over the keepers
head giving UNC a 2-1 lead it would
not relinquish.

President of the Real Silent Sam

Coalition, June Beshea, said the
goal of two events this week is to
give people of color a place to heal.
The University was built for
white men, Beshea said. Were
making a space to allow people
of color to come together and celebrate, which wasnt the purpose
of this university at all.
The first event, the People
of Color Caucus, took place on
Thursday but it did not have a set
objective, said event coordinator
Kim Hong.
Our only goal is to provide a
safe place where people of color
are able to express themselves,
Beshea said.
The second event, People of
Color Takeover the Quad, takes
place today.
Event coordinator Christina
Perkins said the takeover will be
a place of healing and connection
in an unstructured space.
Well be interacting with fellow
people of color and getting resources to aid in healing processes,
Perkins said. There will be artists,
authors, programs, musicians and
contacts for therapists in the area
that are people of color. Its just
time for music and connection.
The People of Color Takeover
the Quad event is hosted by the
Real Silent Sam Coalition.
Beshea said the organization aims
to unite students in resisting racism.
The Real Silent Sam Coalition is

supposed to be an organization that

combats anti-blackness and racism
on this campus and in the neighboring communities, Beshea said.
Beshea said the takeover is more
about coming together than confronting issues. The Real Silent Sam
Coalition has been involved in a
number of protests recently, including at University Day on Oct. 12.
Protesting is hard to do all the
time, Beshea said. The takeover is
more about just taking a second and
realizing that its not always about
protests. Its about the struggle and
the struggle takes a long time.
While the caucus and the takeover are both events for people of
color, Hong said they were organized separately.
The takeover is being hosted by
the Real Silent Sam Coalition, while
the caucus was planned by a group
of students and not under any official organization, she said.
White allies are welcome to
come to People of Color Takeover
the Quad, but they are asked to
respect the event as a safe place for
people of color. White allies were
not invited to the caucus.
This University and society
basically have exemplified the fact
that were not wanted in every
aspect, whether that be racist
monuments around campus or the
rate of people of color that get into
this university, Perkins said.
Perkins said the People of Color
events aim to overcome the feeling
of separation.
The University is not set up for
us, so we opt to take this space and
celebrate the fact that we are here

La Res attorney: Surprised by ABC Commissions rejection

The commission rejected
offer of compromise
a week ago.
By Erin Kolstad
Assistant City Editor

On Oct. 14, the ABC Commission

rejected the offer of compromise
from La Residence in favor of a
stronger punishment. The rejected
proposed settlement was for either
a $5,000 fee or a 50-day suspension
of the restaurants ABC permits.
Hes Not Here and La Residence
are two bars where police say
Chandler Kania purchased alcohol

underage before causing a head-on

collision in July, killing three people.
Syd Alexander, the attorney
representing La Residence, said he
was very surprised by the rejection
of the offer of compromise.
Kanias name does not appear as
having bought alcohol, he said.
He said he had negotiated with the
attorney for the ABC Commission,
Tim Morse, who recommended the
rejected compromise.
The offers are not final until they
are ratified by the Commission, said
Agnes Stevens, spokesperson for
the ABC Commission, in an email.
Usually they are ratified without further changes after they are
signed. But (rejection) can happen.

La Residence and the ABC

Commission are in further conversations now, and Alexander said he
is not concerned that La Residence
could lose their ABC permits.
We are not in the same situation
as Hes Not, Alexander said.
The offer for Hes Not is for the
business to surrender their ABC permits. The case will likely be handled
by an administrative law judge,
Stevens said earlier this month.
The case has not been scheduled, but I assume it will be heard
next year, wrote William Thomas
and Jay Ferguson, the attorneys for
Hes Not, in an email.
In a prepared statement by the
law firm, Thomas and Ferguson said

they do not think Hes Not violated

any of the ABC Commissions laws.
After a careful evaluation of the
applicable law and the facts involving the tragedy of July 19, we do not
believe our client was in violation
of the ABC laws, they said in the
statement. Each and every person
who purchased or consumed alcohol
from Hes Not Here produced identification confirming they were of
legal age. Subsequent investigation
revealed the identifications used by
Mr. Kania and others in his party
were fraudulent. The identifications
all appeared to be valid and were
accepted at other businesses as well.
The statement concluded by saying Hes Not has, and will continue

to, obey all ABC Commission laws

and regulations.
In addition to the ABC cases
against them, La Residence and Hes
Not were also named in a September
lawsuit by Shanice Beard, mother of
Jahnice Beard, 6 one of the victims of Kanias head-on collision.
The lawsuit names the two businesses as having negligent owners
and is seeking punitive and compensatory measures. There were also two
other wrongful death lawsuits issued
against Kania and his parents.
Those lawsuits are in the
early process of the paperwork,
Alexander said.

career when she was 8 years

old. When Abigail earned
a position in a 12-year-old
league at the age of 10, Crystal
said she believed the club had
made a mistake.
They put her on that top
team and she never looked
back, she said.
Crystal said her daughter played on older teams
throughout her career.
Although Abigail made
the Plano West Senior High
School varsity team as a
first-year, Crystal said she
didnt receive as much attention from college coaches
as the older players on her
teams. But Abigail refused
to settle.
Her goal is to always play
the toughest volleyball she
can play and make the team
she plays on better, Crystal
said. The thing that Im most
proud of is that every team
she goes to, she makes better.
Jordyn engrossed her-

self with volleyball mainly

because of a visit by Misty
May-Treanor, a three-time
Olympic gold medalist beach
volleyball player, at a volleyball club. The visit struck
a chord with Jordyn. Though
her first love was dancing, she
threw herself into volleyball.
Abigail is from Texas and
Jordyn is from California.
Jordyn was a dancer and
Abigail was overlooked, but
their paths crossed when North
Carolina and Assistant Head
Coach Eve Rackham began to
recruit them. Once they both
were on campus together, it
was easy to see they were at
odds with one another.

Becoming one person

Coach Joe Sagula noticed
the discord among his setters soon after Abigail joined
the team.
I think in their first year
there was a little bit of competition, Sagula said. I think
they were both trying to be
good. They respected each

We have to kind of mold to each other and

maintain that chemistry and that flow

other, but they werent close.

Jordyn and Abigail quickly
noticed the talent the other
possessed and tried to emulate it to gain an advantage.
Jordyn desired Abigails calmness and soft hands, while
Abigail tried to adopt Jordyns
aggressiveness and defensive
expertise.
But they eventually realized the competition was
detrimental to the team and
strove to overcome the competition by setting it aside.
Rackham detected a difference immediately.
It was just so cool to see
them become really good
friends and then, all of a sudden, start sharing information
off the court during timeouts
and then, all of a sudden, they
were kind of becoming one
person and really working for
and with each other, she said.

Wanting perfection

To the
UNC Community

Rackham, who played setter for UNC from 1999-2002,

joined the coaching staff in
2009 and was promoted to
assistant head coach in 2013.
She grew close to Jordyn
and Abigail during each of
their recruitments, and maintains those relationships as a
coach.
Rackham noticed the talent Jordyn and Abigail held
soon after they began playing
at UNC. She said they didnt
require much work on volleyball fundamentals. She and
Sagula focused on instructing

the setters more in tactics.

I know when Im on the
court and Im making plays
I kind of imagine what she
would do, Jordyn said.
Theres a lot about the game
that shes taught us.
Abigail said Rackhams
coaching can be challenging
because shes so competitive.
She was so successful as a
player here so its her school
too and youre stepping into
her shoes, in a sense, so it adds
even more responsibility and
more pressure on you because
she wants perfection, she said.
Jordyn agreed.
Shes a Slytherin, she said.
If you dont make a play, its
like you dont only let your
team down but you let her
down too because she put the
banners up there.

A fine-tuned system
Sagula, in his 26th season
as the Tar Heels head coach,
originally implemented a 6-2
system which utilizes two
setters at once to maximize
the strengths of his team.
During her first year, Jordyn
played in a 6-2 system. Once
Abigail arrived, Sagula saw the
talent in both.
He wanted to play a 6-2
system again, assuring playing
time for each and requiring the
two to be similar for the team
to succeed.
We are different setters
and so weve had to try to
learn how to be one because
(Jordyns) tempo is always

faster than me, Abigail said.
Jordyn believes a spark
from one setter fuels the
other. She said her aggressive
playing style complements
Abigails steadiness.
That combination led them
to a productive 2014 season.
The duo accounted for 88
percent of the teams sets and
35 percent of its service aces.
Abigail said an additional
benefit of playing in a 6-2 system is the dominant hitters on
the roster can be utilized effectively. But the system doesnt
work if the two setters are out
of sync. Abigail said she and
Jordyn have discovered how to
become more alike.
We both have our talents
and we kind of lean on each
other, Abigail said.
Jordyn said they even
use their differences as an
advantage.
We have to kind of mold
to each other and maintain
that chemistry and that flow
on the court, she said.

Unsung heroes
The pairs importance to
the team has not been lost on
Rackham, who said the setters
performances often determine
the outcome of matches.
In 2014, both setters were
voted as the unsung heroes
of the team.
They dont get a lot of
attention, they dont get the
awards from the media and
that sort of thing, but our
system doesnt run and we are
not successful without what
they do, Rackham said.
Often, a casual fan watching a match will confuse one
for the other. Sagula said
sometimes announcers will
even mistake the two.
And thats just what the
coaches want. Ideally, the two
players will be so in unison
that observers wont notice
any difference once one leaves
and the other enters.
Volleyball brought them
together. They should have
been competitors. But they
formed a resilient friendship
that extends well beyond
volleyball.

dire need of a starting corner.

Simmons was the next
man up.
It didnt bother him at
all, defensive backs coach
Charlton Warren said. It
wasnt like he was shocked,
surprised. It wasnt too big
for him.
The senior slotted into
the starting cornerback role
against the Demon Deacons,
recording his first two solo
tackles and his lone pass
breakup of the season.
But operating from his
former post, Simmons shined
beyond the stat sheet.
His box score was modest, but so was the guy he
was guarding, Warren said.
When hes pressed against
a guy all night long and that
guy catches two balls, youve
had a pretty good night.
Simmons contributions
extended beyond the defense,
as his ever-excellent special
teams play was evident.
Hes done a great job. Hes
still playing in every game,
head Coach Larry Fedora said.
Hes been on all our special teams, hes a starter on
special teams. Hes a contributor to this football team.
Like Simmons before,
UNCs two suspended cornerbacks will get a second
chance to reclaim their prior
roles. Hughes was reinstated
Wednesday and will play
Saturday against Virginia,
while Stewart is slated to
return Thursday against
Pittsburgh. As for his own role
in the secondary, Simmons is
unsure how his play Saturday
will impact his future. But in
Warrens defense which
prides performance over precedent a starters mentality
in practice could elevate the
senior to his previous position.
Every game of the season,
the guys that start are the guys
that do the best work that
week in practice, Warren said.
Everybody understands
the system, so put a guy in
and let him go.
Next man up.

From competitors to close condants

The two setters
use their
differences to
their advantage
By Kevin Mercer
Staff Writer

From the most unlikely of sources,

a friendship blossomed.
Junior setter Abigail Curry arrived
in Chapel Hill as a first-year to join a
North Carolina volleyball team with
an already-established sophomore
setter, Jordyn Schnabl. Jordyn, now
a senior, and Abigail play the same
position and are only a year apart.
They pitted themselves against each
other, both vying to win the starting
setter position.
But Jordyn and Abigail were able
to forge a flourishing friendship out
of the jealousy that once permeated
their relationship.
You know theyre besties, said
Jordyns mother, Laura Schnabl.
The two are rarely seen apart. But
this was not always the case.

Different setter, paths

After serving his suspension, he returned to the

his number could be called.

The Daily Tar Heel

UNC student connects with local, global audiences

The sophomore
dream pop artist will
perform tonight.
By Emily Perry
Staff Writer

Sophomore Noah
Rawlings embarked on his
dream pop musical journey
the summer before his first
year at UNC. For the most
part, the experience has
been as magical as the name
suggests.
Rawlings band Sunshine
Faces, named for the lyrics of an alternative-rock
song, is gaining recognition beyond Chapel Hill. In
addition to a growing global
audience, the group also
has a strong regional college following and will perform tonight at the North
Carolina Museum of Arts
College Night in Raleigh at
8:30 p.m.
Rawlings is a comparative literature major, so the

work he pours into Sunshine

Faces never receives the
reward of a good grade. Still,
the satisfaction of writing
and performing his music
has been remarkable in its
own right.
Theres an immediate
realization of having done
something worthwhile when
you can put out music, he
said.
He hears positive feedback
on his music from listeners
all over the world. In the past
two years, hes received emails
from fans in Brazil and connected with radio stations
and music labels in France
and Spain.
That kind of feedback, he
said, would never come from
writing a 10-page paper that
only his professor would read.
Its this ability of art to
transcend boundaries geographic, cultural and otherwise that draws Rawlings
to it.
Art communicates without
words often, or with a different set of words a different

vocabulary that is more effective, Rawlings said.

Michael Purello, a friend
and fan of Rawlings, agreed.
Hes maintaining the lyrics hes using in his produced
recordings, and those are
definitely something any
teenager or college student
could relate to, he said.
While Rawlings produces
his recorded music in his bedroom by himself, he makes
the dream pop sound come
alive in his shows. Purello
said Rawlings live performances are exciting.
Connecting with college
audiences secured him a
spot at the NCMA College
Night. Harriet Hoover, coordinator of teen and college
programs, first heard about
Sunshine Faces through
a UNC student on the
museums College Advisory
Council.
She liked what she heard
and invited Sunshine Faces to
perform live at the event.
I thought that it would
bring new audiences in, and

COURTESY OF RACHEL BRIDGES

Sophomore comparative literature major Noah Rawlings band Sunshine Faces will perform tonight.

thats certainly a goal of this

event to make this museum a really fun and relevant
place for people to gather, and
build community and have
fun, Hoover said.
College Night includes

dance performances by East

Carolina University and
William Peace University
and fashion creations by N.C.
State Universitys College of
Textiles. Sunshine Faces is
one of two music sets for the

night.
It sounds sort of trite,
maybe, Rawlings said. But
I just feel compelled to write
songs and record them.

Congress may give students money for new sport: Spikeball

By Jamie Gwaltney
Staff Writer

One of UNCs newest clubs

is hoping to grow with the
help of Student Congress.
UNC Spikeball Club asked
the finance committee of
Student Congress for money
to purchase more equipment
to support its growing organization Tuesday.
Priyesh Krishnan, chairperson of the Congress
finance committee, said the
committee recommended
allocating $400 to the organization, but the full Congress
will have to vote on the issue.
Two teams play Spikeball,
with two players on each
team. Each team is allowed
to hit the ball three times, but
the third hit has to be into the
trampoline-like net. Once the

RIVALRY

The recruiting trail

As a high school football
player at Garden City High
School in Garden City, New
York, all Don McCauley wanted to do was follow the path of
his role model, Frank Quayle.
Quayle, a running back
at UVa, from 1966 to 1968,
graduated from Garden City
a few years before McCauley
and went on to a historic
career with the Cavaliers.
All McCauley wanted to
do was attend UVa. But when
the Cavaliers didnt recruit
him, he chose to go to UNC.
It always kind of bothered
me that thats the school and
originally I wanted to follow
in Franks footsteps, and they
were not interested in me, said
McCauley, who played running
back for the Tar Heels from
1968 to 1970 and was a twotime ACC Player of the Year.
I had an added incentive
against Virginia for them to
remember me.

education institutions ... but

find it difficult to piece the
puzzle together.
Spellings said in 2005, she
intended to use NCLB as a
model for higher education
accountability.
The former secretary also
has no apparent ties to North
Carolina, which would make
her the second UNC-system
president alongside the
only other female president Molly Broad, who led
California State University
before coming to UNC
from outside the state.
But Paul Gates, faculty senate chair at Appalachian State
University, said Spellings thin
experience in higher education
is more concerning than her
status as an outsider.

A broken board
Despite the similar politi-

ball is bounced off the net, it

is in the other teams possession. If a team is unable to
successfully hit the ball into
the net, the other team gets
a point and the first team to
earn 21 points wins.
Junior Nick Ciampa, chief
operations officer of the club,
was inspired to create the club
when he received a Spikeball
set for his birthday last year.
He said he started playing with his suitemates and
friends. They decided to form
a club not only as a way to
share the sport, but also to
create a community around it.
A big goal we had when we
set out was to teach people the
game and of course have people meet each other and form
friend groups, Ciampa said.
The club holds open play
every Friday, where club

members are welcome to play

against one another. The club
also tries to hold tournaments
once a month, Ciampa said.
Since the club was created
this year, UNC Spikeball has
been focusing on gaining
membership, Ciampa said.
However, he said they have
many goals for the club, like
becoming a club sport at UNC
and playing other universities.
The co-presidents of the
club are Patrick Jahn and
Corey Emerick. Jahn and
Ciampa were roommates last
year and became interested
in the game when Ciampa
received the Spikeball set for
his birthday.
Jahn said the sport is fun
for people of all ages and all
levels of experience.
Jahn said the goal of the
club was to introduce people

to the game and use it to

bring people together, especially for new UNC students
who are trying to get involved
with campus activities.
Its really cool to be a part
of Spikeball club right now
because we are starting and
people want to see it grow and
they want to help in whatever
way they can, Jahn said.
UNC Spikeball Clubs
equipment is owned by members, but new equipment
bought with Student Congress
money will be owned by
Student Congress. Krishnan
said this will make it easier
for the club to continue after
older members graduate.
The Student Congress likes
to fund things like this because
they are investing for many
years, no matter who runs (the
club), Krishnan said.

Krishnan said its very likely the club will get the money.
The committee doesnt
necessarily only consider the
amount the organization is

asking for, but what it is for

and how it affects the student
body, he said.

8,500 square-foot innovation lab, studio and theatre,

which will be run by Carolina
Performing Arts.
I think probably everyone
would agree with me, that
when you bring art and performance into a place, you
always make it a place where

people want to be, Folt said.

Folt said this is an example
of a win-win project.
This really is an example
of how our University can
leverage all of the enthusiasm,
excitement and expertise of
the private sector to achieve
something that can support

the mission of the University,

she said.
Atlanta-based Cousins
Properties will oversee the
commercial leasing.
We partnered with the
University, so we have been
working with them seven
years developing the plan,

making sure its consistent

with what the city wants,
said Larry Gellerstedt, president and CEO of Cousins
Properties and UNC graduate.
With diverse features,
the partners involved with
Carolina Square hope everyone
will feel invited into the space.

I hope the public shares

my excited anticipation,
Nelson said. This is the kind
of a project that downtowns
all over America would wish
for, and we are lucky enough
to have it.

higher education research

and data analytics at The
Education Trust.
According to data UNCs
Office of Scholarship and
Student Aid has collected,
Eric Johnson, assistant director, said he believes UNC Pell
recipients are in a relatively

good position to succeed.

Our six-year Pell Grant
graduation rate for the 2008
cohort was almost 87 percent, one of the highest in the
country, he said.
The disparity in graduation
rate between Pell recipients
and non-Pell recipients at UNC

is one of the nations smallest, around 5 percent, with 91

percent of students who dont
receive Pell Grants graduating
in six years in 2008.
Nichols noted systemic barriers Pell Grant recipients face.
We have a system that
perpetuates inequalities. Most

Pell Grant recipients are going

to schools that dont serve
them well. Non-Pell Grant
recipients fare a lot better.
Nichols said he expects the
NSLDS data to improve by
2019, as the Department of
Education makes changes to
the system and their data col-

lection.
He said, however, these
problems will persist because
so many Pell Grant recipients
attend institutions with graduation rates far lower than
than UNCs.

As great as McCauleys
drive was to defeat the
Cavaliers, the animosity
between the schools has been
most evident on the recruiting trail linked between
North Carolina and Virginia.
Nine players on UNCs current roster are from Virginia,
including redshirt senior
offensive guard Landon
Turner.
I want to beat those
Virginia teams because obviously I didnt choose to stay in
state, Turner said.
Theyre obviously not that
happy about that, and I know
people I played with in high
school who play for those
teams.
Some of the Tar Heels best
all-time football players are
from Virginia. Among the
top players who left the state
to attend North Carolina
are Hall of Fame linebacker
Lawrence Taylor, running
back Amos Lawrence and
three-time first-team AllAmerican cornerback Dre Bly.
The state of Virginia probably still dont forgive me for

leaving to go to Chapel Hill,

Bly said.
But perhaps no player
faced more judgment for
choosing the Tar Heels over
the Cavaliers more so than
Ronald Curry.

they had, and I was an in-state

kid, he said. Everybody just
assumed I was going to UVa.
Eventually the tide changed.
One day I woke up and I
wanted to play basketball.
Curry ultimately flipped
his commitment to North
Carolina. UVa. fans labeled
him a traitor.
I turned my back on
my home state, said Curry,
who was 1-3 in his football
career against the Cavaliers.
It added the fire to it, and
it gave UVa. a little bit more

extra motivation than I would

say it gave Carolina.

N.C. State or UVa.-Virginia

Tech. But the main way the
rivalry can get on the map is
for both teams to return to
national prominence.
Once these programs
generate more wins, better
starts and winning records at
the end of they year, Bly said,
Then thats something people
would look at toward the end
of the season with an asterisk
beside it, like, Man, this is a
game I need to watch.

cal ideologies of board members, the turmoil of the convoluted selection process has
garnered more headlines than
the potential candidates.
Theres a musical chairs
of constituents out there in
the university system that all
want different things, said
board member Marty Kotis.
Association of Student
Government President Zack
King said most of the information about the search
has come from leaked
documents or emails from the
media.
The emergency meeting
where Spellings was seen was
called with less than 48 hours
notice. No official vote was
taken, The (Raleigh) News &
Observer reported.
But Kotis said the board can
take unofficial votes. He confirmed the board has met with
one candidate and received the
names of three others.

The traitor
They call him Benedict
Ronald.
As a two-sport start at
Hampton High School in
Hampton, Virginia, Curry
was considered by many to
be the nations top football
prospect and one of the best
basketball prospects in 1998.
The Tar Heels and
Cavaliers were frontrunners
for Curry. And in the fall of
his senior year, he committed
to UVa.
But UNC continued to
pursue Curry. And while the
North Carolina mens basketball coaching staff tried to flip
his commitment, he said the
Cavaliers werent as aggressive.
UVa., I think they thought
they had it locked because of
the school I went to, the ties
North Carolina, a nonpartisan transparency-focused
organization, said there are
questions surrounding who
has the authority to select the
president.
Clearly, there need to
be some decisions made to
make sure this mess, as Im
calling it, doesnt happen
again, he said.
And those future decisions,
Gates said, will be tainted
by this boards decision to
exclude the people of North
Carolina from this process.
He said its similar to
UNC-CHs athletic-academic
scandal in terms of the longterm consequences.
This is the same thing,
just a different set of circumstances.
Phillips said the university
systems questionable future
is exactly whats so disturbing.
It appears the board is
irreparably fractured.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Christina Perkins, on the People of Color Takeover of the Quad event

Chiraayu Gosrani

he Orange County
Board of Commissioners
voted last week against
inclusive housing. Despite public outcry, the commissioners
passed a bond referendum that
included $120 million for education and only $5 million for
affordable housing.
As a chapter leader for
Students for Education Reform
at UNC, I understand the dire
need for education funding.
But I was appalled by the poor
awareness of the connections
between housing affordability and education access, and
also a broader assault on lowincome communities of color.
Housing prices in areas of
downtown Durham have risen
nearly 500 percent in the past
decade, pricing out historically
Black communities in neighborhoods such as the Hayti
district. In downtown Raleigh
young, mostly white and upper
middle class professionals have
displaced Black residents in
the citys southeast.
Meanwhile, the revitalization of Rosemary Street and
influx of student residents have
caused housing prices and
rent in the historically Black
Northside community to rise
astronomically. This has been a
prominent talking point for all
town council and mayoral candidates. Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership Executive
Director Meg McGurk said,
Development can change the
composition of a street when
you bring feeling to it.
Lets get one thing straight,
changing the composition and bringing feeling
are phrases coated in white
supremacy and reference an
overtly violent and racialized
process of uprooting Black
communities gentrification.
The processes of gentrification are rooted in the insidious
failings of racial capitalism.
Capitalism functions upon
growth, and when this growth
is not realized, the private and
public sectors attempt to stabilize the system through the
collection of capital rent.
Over the past four decades,
capital accumulation has created a surplus, socially displaced humanity deemed in
need of control. Gentrification
is thus an exploitation of the
urban rent gaps resulting from
exclusionary zoning, white
flight and disenfranchisement.
Following the decay of the
manufacturing sector, urban
revitalization, including speculation in Northside, has operated as a component of this illfated rent-seeking machine.
Gentrification results from
not just racist development
practices, but also from an
imagining of Black communities as pathological, criminal
and in need of control and
dispulsion. The myths of blackon-black crime and black-onwhite violence have buttressed
an unparalleled rise in policing,
surveillance and mass incarceration against Black communities for the sole purpose of
constructing racial boundaries.
James Baldwin quipped in
1963, Urban renewal means
negro removal, and today it
remains a telling assessment
of the processes underway
in downtown Chapel Hill,
Durham and Raleigh. We
should not reduce gentrification to just a lack of affordable
housing or a whitewashed
urban renaissance, but to what
it truly is: plunder.

Spell it out
Margaret Spellings
must defend her
record in public.

argaret Spellings,
the former U.S.
Secretary of
Education and leading
candidate for UNC-system
president, would be a
troubling choice for the
job. Even so, students, faculty and residents of North
Carolina and even some
Board of Governors members have barely had
enough time to even begin
to vet her for the job.
The board should
delay its decision until
the public has the chance
to examine Spellings
qualifications for the job,
and she has a chance to
defend the disturbing
parts of her record.
The public has known
about Spellings potential
to be the next UNC-system
president for just over a
week. In that time, serious concerns over her lack
of experience working in
university systems and her
seeming intolerance toward
the LGBT community have
been put forward.
And this is all just in a
week, too much time by the
Board of Governors standards, apparently reporting by Jane Stancill of the
(Raleigh) News & Observer
suggests they called their
emergency meeting last

week in an attempt to avoid

getting Spellings name in
the public eye.
If there was any serious consideration of other
candidates for the job, the
public hasnt heard about
it, and as recently as last
week, neither had some
members of the Board of
Governors. This runs contrary to the boards statement promising to follow
the legislation sitting on
the governors desk requiring consideration of at
least three candidates.
But back to the worries
about homophobia.
According to reporting
by Lisa de Moraes, a columnist for The Washington
Post, Spellings sent a letter
to PBS CEO Pat Mitchell in
2005 warning to not air an
episode of a childrens show
because it featured a segment including gay parents
living together.
Many parents would
not want their young
children exposed to the
life-styles portrayed in this
episode, Spellings wrote in
the letter. She also implied
PBS was in danger of losing federal funding due to
a lack of accountability.
This is certainly not
acceptable behavior in any
context from a policy leader. The public deserves
an explanation. But if
Spellings is coronated
today, there will be little
opportunity for Spellings

to address these concerns.

And this is not the only
legitimate concern about
Spellings. Clearly she is an
accomplished woman, but
the signature policy of the
U.S. education department
while she was secretary,
the No Child Left Behind
Act, is widely regarded as
a failure.
Spellings also has little
direct experience in higher
education besides a turn
on the board of the forprofit online University
of Phoenix. She also
served as namesake of the
Commission on the Future
of Higher Education,
which, while admirably
advancing goals of affordability and accessibility,
is also associated with
promoting metrics for
accountability that are not
accepted as gospel.
The public deserves a
more complete debate
about these issues before
Spellings is named UNCsystem president. The
board is asking the public
to trust its decisionmaking, but given the
series of embarrassing and
ill-conceived decisions
the board has made in its
recent existence, the public has little reason to trust
the board with important
decisions without a robust
public debate first.
The board should delay
its decision. This is not
what democracy looks like.

EDITORIAL

Conscious study abroad

UNC should teach
traveling students
historical context.

NCs study abroad

programs are
relatively extensive
and also responsible for
the 28 percent of undergraduate students in
the College of Arts and
Sciences who decide to
supplement their academic careers with an international expedition.
This board supports the
study abroad programs
and their various benefits
to the student body.
But it would serve the
school well if it developed
a program specifically for
critically examining the
lasting effects of United
States foreign policy on sovereign nations, especially
those in the developing
world, while students study
abroad in those countries.
Such an initiative would
likely be offered through
a variety of departments
and programs, such as the
history, global studies and
peace, war and defense
departments, along with

cultural studies programs.

These areas of study
deal with issues surrounding international relations,
a topic that can easily
become a vacuum within a
classroom environment.
This is especially true
for subjects regarding U.S.
foreign policy and makes
it imperative that this program be enacted, as the
hegemonic order anchored
by the U.S. has led to its
involvement in a variety of
international conflicts as
early as the 19th century.
Furthermore, being
given the ability to learn
about lesser-known relationships between foreign
countries and the U.S.
while studying abroad
would allow students to
learn the requisite course
material, while also making their own judgments
regarding the effects of
American actions, as they
immerse themselves in
that foreign culture.
Admittedly, certain
study abroad programs
already in place such as
the Phillips Ambassadors
project would likely
already afford students

the opportunity to explore

the dynamics and lasting
effects of U.S. international
relations on other nations.
However, the institutionalization of this
project is necessary due
to the importance of historically analyzing U.S.
foreign policy events and
their outcomes in order to
better grapple with future
international ordeals.
To reinforce the necessity
of levelheaded, informed
diplomacy, one only needs
to look at the geopolitical
tensions currently at play in
the Middle East.
That being said, the
safety of UNC students is
of the utmost importance.
Therefore, like all study
abroad programs, the
University should consult
the U.S. State Department
about the level of safety
before assigning a program to a specific country.
This kind of program
would be about learning
from past leaders mistakes
in order to ensure UNC is
teaching future leaders to
consider those beyond their
immediate surroundings
when making decisions.

TO THE EDITOR:
It has come to our
attention that local proConfederate groups are
planning to rally on our
campus this Sunday
around the Silent Sam
statue.
We feel the need to let
the student body and community know of this prospective rally in an effort
to keep you all informed
and to help ensure that no
student is caught off guard
by the surge in activity
surrounding the statue.
As much as we respect
and uphold the right of
all students and outside
speakers to freely express
their views on this campus, we must be mindful
that malicious words and
actions can cause serious
harm to others.
It is our priority to make
sure every student feels
and is safe on our campus.
If you encounter these
protests on campus this
weekend, we ask that you
respect their fundamental right to express their
beliefs and encourage you
to exercise yours. But do so
peacefully, embracing the
motto of our University:
Lux Libertas.
Throughout our administration, we have stood by
students and the circumstances of this weekend
are no different. We will
continue on in our focus
toward building a safe and
inclusive community for
all students.

Student Body President

DTH election guide

used old information
TO THE EDITOR:
I was disappointed in
todays Daily Tar Heel election guide, particularly the
outdated candidate fundraising totals.
Just like the Chapel Hill
News, the DTH used outdated information rather
than take the time to call or
email candidates to inquire
about fundraising.
As a result, the readers
of the DTH were misinformed because of lazy
reporting. As a previous
graduate of the Journalism
School, I can tell you that
this type of journalism
would have received an F
in my day.
In the future, please do
some reporting and dont
rely on information collected by a government agency
6-8 weeks ago.
For the record, Adam
Jones for Town Council
has raised over $7,500
and spent over $6,500 on
a website, yard signs and
print ads, including some
in the DTH.
A simple email a day
or two prior to your guide
would have made it much
better with up to date and
accurate information.

Candidate for Chapel
Hill Town Council

Kvetching board
kvetch:
v.1 (Yiddish) to complain
How about instead of outsourcing the Student Stores,
we outsource whoevers in
charge of eduroam?
So Im a new student here,
and I know Halloween is a
pretty huge deal, so Ive gotta
know: does UNC decorate the
campus to celebrate? I wonder if they dress Silent Sam up
like a spooky ghost!
To my roommate who stole
and sold my stuff on eBay:
Good luck in court. P.S.
Happy birthday!
Apparently the refs at the
UNC-Wake game think catching the football is the sign for
signaling a fair catch.
I was sitting at a table next
to this annoying, loud girl
for an hour and a half, and
when she got up to leave I
noticed she was wearing a
Dance Marathon sweatshirt
figures.
Daily Tar Heel, hang your
head in shame. No mention of Switzers heads-up,
EPIC punt return! THE FAIR
CATCH THAT NEVER WAS!
Hopeless romantics, lets
shed some tears!
To The Daily Tar Heel writer
who wrote that James
Michael McAdoo was the
big man with four names:
Whats up with that?
People that work at 7-Eleven
stores must be the smartest
people in the world. They
always seem to know what
you need, no matter what it
is that you ask for.
Its decided! Im going
as Pam Hemminger for
Halloween.
Kvetches so dull since the
Class of 2015 left. I guess if
we were as good at getting
jobs as we were at being
funny, we wouldnt be in our
underwear watching Drake
dance all day.
All these complaints about
this years Kvetching Board is
proof that literally everyone
is a critic.
Why does Hamilton only
have two elevators? I refuse
to walk to the fifth floor, and
I also refuse to wait 30 minutes for a ride. That is the real
reason I have a zero in my
POLI 100 class.
As a pencil enthusiast, I am
deeply troubled by the lack
of pencil sharpeners on this
campus.
F*ck this hot weather. And
by hot, I mean anything at
or above 70 degrees.
Do not complain about people who are out registering
voters, complain about the
people who do not register.
I refuse to go to Campus
Health, it should do home
visits.
Let us all take a moment of
silence for all those affected
by the current pumpkin
shortage fall is not fall
without pumpkins.
Hey DTH letter-writers,
