Sophomore Alana Koontz,

she heard screaming from
bystanders and ran out from
her fourth floor suite to see
what was happening.
Police and EMTs all came
really quickly. It was all
blocked off, she said.
A small vigil was held in
the game room of Morrison
at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
Sophomore members of the
Christian group Cru at UNC
came together to pray.
Basically it was just a
group of people that came
together to pray for Demitri
and for his family and all the
people affected by everything
that happened today, sophomore Salem Hockett said.
A prayer circle was held in
the Student and Academic
Services Building plaza a few
hours after the incident.
First-year Andrew Harvey

UNC and Duke students gather in solidarity in the Pit Wednesday in support of the LGBT community.
university@dailytarheel.com
By Anyssa Reddix
About 150 people gathered in the Pit
Wednesday to stand in solidarity with Duke
University after a death threat was made
toward the LGBT community on Nov. 5.
Last Thursday, someone wrote the words
Death to all f***s in thick black Sharpie
across a first-year dorm, said Dillon Patel,
a representative from Dukes Blue Devils
United. Not just discrimination, not just a
hate speech, not an isolated incident, but a
death threat to our collective communities.
The Not Here, Not There, Not Anywhere
rally was organized by Sexuality and Gender
Alliance President Lauren Martin and junior
Morgan McLaughlin, the LGBTQ policy leader for the Multicultural Affairs and Diversity
Outreach committee of student government.
After McLaughlin attended the rally held
at Duke to support Jack Donahue, the student
targeted by the threat, she came back inspired
to hold one at UNC.
If it could happen at Duke, it could happen here, Martin said.
The program featured various student
organizations as speakers, along with Chapel
Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt, Terri Phoenix
from the LGBTQ Center and the event organizers themselves.
McLaughlin closed the event by reading
demands the group put together since the
incident that was formed by asking students
what they need to feel safe on this campus
responses were tracked with a Google form.
Minority students on this campus deserve
to feel safe, McLaughlin said. Safety isnt
just about physical security, but it also
includes mental and emotional security as
he said.
Wells was the guest of honor
at the first of two Veterans Day
events UNC held Wednesday.
The first ceremony, hosted by
UNCs Air Force ROTC, took place
at the Carolina Alumni Memorial.
The event included a presenting
of the colors, a prayer, the national
anthem and a speech by a cadet.
Wells said its important to recognize veterans families.
Please remember that veterans families and military families
have also paid a price for your
freedom, he said. We will never
be able to adequately thank them.

Editors Note
Paige Ladisic explains why the
DTH doesnt report rumors.
he Oxford English
Dictionary defines a
platform as a plan of
action; a scheme or strategy
devised to achieve concrete
results, which is strengthened
by realizing sources of power.
The recent events at the
University of Missouri illustrate the importance of establishing and utilizing platforms
and power even when it
compromises ones privilege.
Privilege is multi-faceted.
Many individuals, including
Jonathan Butler, are privileged in some respects and
marginalized in others. Butler
is a Black graduate student at
Mizzou. He is currently pursuing a Masters degree. But
he was victimized by a series
of racial incidents ignored by
Tim Wolfe, president of the
University of Missouri system.
Butler works closely with
Concerned Student 1950, an
organization formed to fight
back against racial hostility
on Mizzous campus. On Nov.
2, Butler stopped eating. Due
to Wolfes negligence, Butler
compromised his health forgoing the privilege of having a
healthy, functional body to
serve as a basis on which people made a public appeal for
the resignation of Wolfe.
Shortly after, word of Butlers
strike began spreading via social
media and he began visiting
groups on campus to rally support. One of those groups was
the football team. On Nov. 7, 32
Black Mizzou football players
made an announcement.
On Twitter, the players posted
a picture stating that they would
not participate in any footballrelated activities until Wolfe
resigned or was removed. These
men, because of their athletic
ability, have the potential to play
professionally and earn millions
of dollars. They compromised
their careers to stand behind
Butler and protest against the
racial climate on their campus.
By the end of the next day, the
rest of the team and their coach
joined them.
On Nov. 9, a week after
Butler stopped eating, Wolfe
announced his resignation.
Why are the protestors methods significant?
First, a quick privilege
check. This list is not comprehensive, just a few instances
both of my knowledge and relevant to my discussion. Again,
I want to reiterate that individuals may be privileged in some
respects and marginalized in
others simultaneously.
Butler: health, education.
Mizzou players: status as
Division 1 athletes. Concerned
Student 1950: education,
articulation, right to assemble. Community: free speech,
education.
Each of these people maximized a facet of their privilege
to achieve results. They did so
using the following platforms
Butler: body. Mizzou players: status. Concerned Students
of 1950: protest. Community:
social media.
In fact, by writing this
column, Im also a player, so
here are my cards. Privilege:
free speech and education.
Platform: The Daily Tar Heel.
Purpose: Provoke discussion
surrounding race issues.
Whoever or wherever you
are, you have the ability to
capitalize on your privilege
no matter how significant.
So, 1) What is your privilege?
2) How will you use it?
EDITORIAL
n Friday, a young
woman was
almost kidnapped.
The next day, an arrest was
made. This Tuesday, an
email via Alert Carolina
listed the future initiatives
to be taken in order to
ensure students safety.
Quick and prompt
responses by the Chapel
Hill Police Department
and the University are
laudable. In addressing
the concern of safety, it is
imperative to ensure real
changes are carried out.
There are approximately
200 blue-light emergency
According to the
Universitys Department
of Public Safety, there are
biannual campus lighting
tours to identify lighting
issues. On top of this tour,
a giant map laid out by a
populated place like the
Pit or in front of Davis
could be a simplified and
centralized means of pinpointing problem areas.
Chapel Hill and UNC
could also partner with
Duke Energy, which installs
and maintains street lights
to address lighting for both
on- and off-campus areas.
While efforts are being
made to make walking
safer, it is important to
monitor the situation to
ensure the right steps are
being taken.

TO THE EDITOR:
UNC Walk for Health is
proud to announce a special
event that will serve as an
educational service to foster
the exchange of information.
In keeping with our
objective to encourage
youth participation in
recreational activities, we
are inviting Eton, one of
the leading independent
schools in the U.K., to play
a basketball game against
Chapel Hill High School
to be held in the spring of
2016 in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The U.S. Department of
State has already endorsed
this international sporting
event because it provides
an excellent example of
sports diplomacy that
strengthens ties between
two countries peoples.
Our underlying premise
is: all people make friends
in school. People who have
fun, play and talk together
become closer to each other.
By introducing children
from different parts of the
world to each other, we provide them with an unprecedented opportunity to begin
lifelong friendships and
acquaintances. Recreational
activities, such as this U.K.
vs. U.S. youth basketball
game, make it possible for
young people from distant places to explore and
exchange ideas and learn
that while they may be from
different cultures and different countries, theyre not so
different after all.
