SEXUAL ASSAULT

UNC fails to

An unforgettable attack

ed in January 2013. She sued
By Acy Jackson
Assistant University Editor

On Tuesday, the N.C. Court

of Appeals refused UNCs
attempt to have a sexual assault
lawsuit dismissed. Now the
University is deciding whether
to appeal the decision to the
N.C. Supreme Court.
Former UNC student Jillian
Murray sued the University in
August 2014 for mishandling
her sexual assault case. She
said that she was unable to finish her spring semester due to
trauma.
The N.C. Court of Appeals
voted in a 2-1 decision to allow
Murray to continue her suit
against UNC because the court
did not have jurisdiction over
the Universitys appeal.
Although defendant also
argues that this case is moot,
defendant has not made any
argument that this Court has
jurisdiction over that issue in
the absence of a proper appeal
of the sovereign immunity
issue. We, therefore, dismiss
the appeal, Judge Martha Geer
wrote in the opinion.
Judge John Tysons dissenting opinion said that he wanted
to review the appeal on its
merits.
Since UNCs appeal was
dismissed, the University now
has to decide whether it wants
to continue with the suit or
appeal this decision to the N.C.
Supreme Court.

UNC in August 2014:

One week after she filed
the suit, UNC released a new
sexual assault policy.
Acting on UNCs behalf in
September 2014, N.C. attorney general filed a motion to
have the suit dismissed.
In a 2-1 decision on
Tuesday, the N.C. Court
of Appeals denied UNCs
attempt to dismiss the suit.

We are reviewing the Court

of Appeals opinion and evaluating our options for moving
forward. No decision has been
made on whether we will
appeal to the N.C. Supreme
Court, said UNC spokesperson
Jim Gregory in an email.
Murrays lawyer, Henry Clay
Turner, did not respond to a
request for comment.
Murrays suit stated that
three days after a classmate sexually assaulted her in January
2013, she emailed Dean
Blackburn, the associate dean
of students, who took 20 days
to respond. He then referred
her to Desire Rieckenberg,
senior associate dean of students, who failed to inform
Murray of her rights under
the Sexual Misconduct Policy,
according to the lawsuit.
In March 2014, the suit said,

Ten years ago, Mohammed Taheri-azar, then a recent graduate of UNC, drove through the Pit with the intention of killing students.

Pit driver: I am genuinely sorry for 2006 rampage

By Bradley Saacks
Director of Enterprise

Ten years ago, a terrifying day

was nearly one of the most tragic in
University history.
On March 3, 2006, Mohammed
Taheri-azar, a 22-year-old IranianAmerican who had recently graduated
from UNC, drove through the Pit in
a rented Jeep with the intention of
killing students, faculty, staff and whoever else stood in his way.
No one was killed, but nine were
injured and the campus sense of
security was shaken to its core.
One of the most horrific incidents
that Ive ever come upon, said Peggy
Jablonski, the former vice chancellor
for student affairs who was one of the

Cherry has nothing left to give.
She stares at the court as
senior Xylina McDaniel tries
to console the North Carolina
sophomore guard. Cherry pulls
her jersey over her face but it
cant hide her tears of frustration. Nothing can.
Its too late now. Even her
patented Cherry Bomb with
0.1 seconds left in regulation
couldnt save the Tar Heels (1418, 4-12 ACC) from an 82-72
overtime loss to Pittsburgh (1317, 4-12 ACC) in the first round
of the ACC Tournament at the
Greensboro Coliseum.
She knows the feeling. Almost
a year ago, her season ended in
this very arena an 67-65 loss
to South Carolina in the NCAA
Tournament.
But this was her team now.
This was her shot to take.
She had been taking them all
afternoon 21 shots, more than
any of her teammates. But none
were bigger than her final shot
of regulation.
With 15 seconds left in the
fourth quarter, Cherry catches
the inbound pass and dishes it

senior officials on scene.

Taheri-azar, who called 911 on
himself after leaving the Pit, said in
interviews with detectives that day he
committed the attack because people
are being killed by the government of
the United States in the Middle East
and that it was his right in religion to
avenge their deaths.
In letters and court appearances
immediately after, Taheri-azar showed
no remorse. Now, a decade later, he said
in an interview from Avery-Mitchell
Correctional Institution in Spruce Pine
that he is sorry for the pain he caused.
Everything is a regret now, said
Taheri-azar, who was initially indicted
on nine counts of attempted murder of
the first degree but took a plea deal of
just two sentences in August 2008.

After completing a campus review

process, the Carolina Womens Center
has been allocated money for a second
gender violence service coordinator.
The Board of Governors, in their
review, they really keyed in on in their
review of the Womens Center the need
for additional interpersonal violence
counseling staff, said Carol Tresolini,
vice provost for academic initiatives and
chairperson of the Centers and Institutes
Review Committee.
And the committee, the review team
that Lynn Blanchard chaired, agreed that
we do, and that the center really does
need to have additional staff in that area.
The money for the new staff member
will come from state funding.
Cassidy Johnson is currently UNCs
only gender violence services coordinator.
After the Board of Governors reviewed
237 centers and institutes in the UNC
system in spring 2015, they proposed
additional funding for only one the
Carolina Womens Center. The board said
it needed more staff.
The centers and institutes are all
required to go under periodic reviews
on campus, but the review of the
Carolina Womens Center was moved
up and scheduled due to the boards
review, said Lynn Blanchard, chairperson of the review.
Blanchard said the review consisted

of evaluating the mission of the center,

the quality of student experience at the
center and the centers goals and leadership.
There was a specific set of questions for all centers and institutes,
Blanchard said.
Christi Hurt, director of the Carolina
Womens Center, said the review did not
recommend fundamentally changing any
programs, but it showed how other campus resources like to work with them and
how they can best serve students needs.
It was a validating and reaffirming
process, Hurt said.
The review, completed in July, was
then presented to the Centers and
Institutes Review Committee in the fall.
That committee made recommendations to the provost and chancellor, who
endorsed the findings.
The Carolina Womens Center is also
restarting its search for a new director.
Hurt, who still serves as the director, is
now Assistant Vice Chancellor and Chief
of Staff for Student Affairs.
We were really waiting for the review
to be completed, and that means having
the review team do its work and have
the report go through the appropriate
approvals, Tresolini said.
Hurt said they wanted to know what
they were looking for in the next director and what their goals were, which the
review allowed them to figure out.
I think its been a very much natural
evolution, said Hurt.
Tresolini said following the hiring of
the new director, they will go ahead with
strategic planning and specify long term
and short term goals.

Feminism is the radical notion that women are human beings.

Best places to study outside at UNC

By Meggie Cruser
Staff Writer

College-kid hibernation
must be a real thing.
On beautiful warm days
like yesterday, when everyone
flocks to the quad, I wonder
where they all go when its
cold out. Extensive research
has led me to the following
conclusion: they hibernate.
Im not sure where they
do it (I have never seen more
unfamiliar faces in my life),
but its most likely somewhere
where their homeworkinduced tears wont freeze.
Now that the hibernation
is over and you no longer

have any motivation to enter

a building, here are my top
spots to study outside.

Behind Lenoir
The Pit side of Lenoir is
always crowded, loud and
far too distracting, but the
back of Lenoir is much
calmer. There are lots of
great tables, and while you
may see a few friends while
youre studying, you probably wont run into literally
everyone you know.

UNC feeds off Sutherlands play in win

BASEBALL

NORTH CAROLINA
11
WINTHROP6
By Will Bryant
Staff Writer

Sometimes it takes a little spark to ignite a

big fire.
On Wednesday, the No. 11 North Carolina
baseball team needed one of those fires.
After news broke that usual Tar Heel shortstop Logan Warmoth was held out of the game
due to a violation of team rules, senior infielder Eli Sutherland who delivered a walk-off
single in UNCs Sunday win against Oklahoma
State was moved from second base into the
starting spot at shortstop.
Shortstop is one of the more demanding
positions in baseball, but Sutherland proved
more than capable, leading the Tar Heels to a
comeback 11-6 win against Winthrop.
Hes probably the most well-liked and
respected player on our team, Coach Mike Fox
said. Hes a senior and doesnt say anything,
very humble.
Everyone pulls for Eli.
With no outs in the top of the second
inning, Sutherland was able to snuff out an
Eagles rally, making a diving stop that started
the first half of a double play.
Primarily used as a defensive specialist with
his 5-foot-9, 170-pound frame, Sutherland
does not have the makeup of a prototypical
rally starter in the batters box. But he was able
to play the part Wednesday.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, with
Winthrop up 5-3, Sutherland assumed his role
as the spark for the Tar Heel offense out of the
eight-hole.
On a 1-0 pitch from Eagles reliever Thad
Harris, Sutherland delivered his first home
run as a Tar Heel, swinging momentum back
in UNCs favor.
I felt pretty good I saw a good fastball
and laid a good swing on it, he said.
Sutherlands home run got the Tar Heel
dugout back into the game, and a snowball
effect ensued.
Eight runs on six hits, and the scoreboard
was back in the Tar Heels favor.

2016 elections
puzzle politics
experts
Panelists discussed the future of
the U.S. political landscape.
By Samantha Paisley
Staff Writer

Panelists at the George Watts Hill Alumni

Center gathered for what Leoneda Inge,
WUNCs changing economy reporter, coined
Whats the Deal Wednesday following Super
Tuesday where political experts discussed
what is making the 2016 elections so distinct.
Before the forum began, Rick Henderson,
managing editor of Carolina Journal, said the
purpose of the forum was to inform the audience of the politics in the 2016 election.
How the states redistricting battle may affect
some of the races that are going on, whats happening with the congressional delegation we
may even talk some national politics, too, he said.
Yet national politics dominated the discussion.
Peter Hans, senior policy adviser at the law
firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, said
Bernie Sanders has motivated Hillary Clinton
to move leftward. And while some voters have
expressed concern over her trustworthiness,
Han said she will likely win the nomination.
Audience members and panelists found the
Republican primary more vexing with Donald
Trump becoming the center of discussion.
Audience member James Coley came to the
forum hoping to find some clarity in understanding Trumps recent successes.
The success of Donald Trump, who is
clearly unqualified to be president of the United
States, is surprising, shocking and dismaying,
even to established Republicans so a liberal
Democrat like me is perhaps even more disoriented by it, he said.
UNC political science professor Sarah Treul
Roberts said senators competing in tough electoral contests are separating themselves from the
extreme Republican contenders and received
permission from Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., to do so.
And thats amazing the separation of party
and the breaking apart of that top ticket and
what that disarray of political parties means for
races down the ballot, she said.
Hodding Carter III, chairperson of the UNC
Press Development Council, even argued there
is nothing left of the conservative Republican
Party anymore.
We are now busy talking about a circumstance in the Republican Party as if we understood for one moment what we are talking
about, he said.
Theodore Shaw, law professor and director
of the Center for Civil Rights at UNCs School
of Law, said the United States is in unchartered
territory with this election because of how far
right the Republican Party has moved with its
frontrunner candidates.
Even for some of us who are registered
Democrats, weve been waiting for Republicans
to show up and say that things have gone too far
and to reclaim their party, he said.

Gahagan. Its a big role in how we play.
Gahagan and Sutherland combined to go

Sutherlands play helped kickstart the rest of
the Tar Heels bats.
Its awesome, hes a hard worker, and Im

happy for him, he said. He had a good swing

of the bat.
Sutherland has assumed a leadership role
amid a young group of Tar Heels, and his performance of late only strengthens his spot on
the team.
The ones like Eli, that do everything right

and just dont say a whole lot, theyre cheered

for maybe a little harder. Coach Mike Fox said.
The senior, humble as advertised, summed
up his recent success concisely.
It feels pretty good, man.

Tight schedules challenge athletes

A gymnastics team member said
time management is difficult.
By Cailyn Derickson
Staff Writer

The Faculty Athletics Committee talked

about how to help student-athletes with
time management at its listening session on
Wednesday.
Senoir Lexi Cappalli is a member of the
UNC gymnastics team. She acts as a liaison
to the committee, giving members an opportunity to understand the life of a studentathlete firsthand.
Cappalli said that student-athletes have
to be good at time management because the
University requires long hours of practice.
The school requires that we do three
and a half hour practices in a day, and most
sports are similar, but theres also an hour of
treatments banking each end of the practice.
Thats five to six hours that youre spending
on campus that have nothing to do with academics, she said.
But the problem weve discussed over and
over this year is just how do we lessen those
time depends. Because all the hours youre
putting towards your sport are needed, so we
wonder if we fix it within the sport or outside
the sport.
The NCAA requires that all studentathletes take a minimum of 12 credit hours a
semester, so decreasing their time demands
is difficult, committee member John
Stephens said.
One athlete asked me if there was a way to
flex more during the summer then underload
during the season, and that would make sense
from their perspective, but right now one of
the barriers would be NCAA eligibility rules,
Stephens said. The question then becomes
wheres the slippery slope on this if we say
we are committed to student success on both
levels, if we start quote unquote underloading

DTH/CAILYN DERICKSON
Ezra Baeli-Wang, Beverly Foster, Lexi Cappalli, and Josefa Lindquist discussed the importance of
time management for student-athletes at a listening session in Dey Hall Wednesday.

our student athletes, its another way of preferential treatment that may be inconsistent.
Cappalli said that one solution would be to
implement a standard procedure among faculty
that allows student-athletes to make up missed
assignments or exams in an organized manner.
We have these travel letters that we give out
to all the professors, and I think maybe half of
my professors have never read it, she said.
Committee member Lissa Broome said
that student-athletes are given an academic
plan, which provides tutors to assist with academic time management.
Cappalli said, My academic plan is a specific tutoring schedule catered to you. When
I got here it was just spend six hours in

Loudermilk and here are the tutors that are

available to you, and now theres scheduled
tutoring time based on your specific needs, so
that has been super helpful.
Committee member Beverly Foster said
that she is constantly impressed by the time
management skills of student-athletes, even
when they are faced with so many demands.
But I was also very impressed by the other
activities they do, such as service activities
and personal interest activities, she said. Im
always impressed by despite the commitment, they always have a busy life and organize themselves well.

Orange County sees racial disparity in farms

The county and the state
have more white farm
owners than black.
By Jane Little
Staff Writer

According to the 2012 U.S.

Department of Agriculture census, Orange County has 34 blackowned farms and 607 whiteowned farms.
Joe Thompson, a black farm
owner, understands firsthand the
difficulties of obtaining a loan to
start his farm.
Im going to be truthful and
honest with you, Thompson
said. The people at the government offices, they made it so
hard for people who were black
to obtain financial loans.
Thompson said when he
received his operating expense,
a woman at the U.S. Farmers

Home Administration, which

operated until 2006, held his
check in her desk for about 20
days after he signed that he had
received it.
(They did) stuff like that
to get you behind, get you
frustrated, make you quit,
Thompson said.
In another instance, when
Thompson tried to put in an irrigation pond on his farm, he was
told he needed 10 acres of available land to build it. He had 9.6
acres of land four-tenths of an
acre short.
(Agency workers) had no
business at all in the position
that they were holding to not
help one farmer that was just
as good as the rest of them,
Thompson said.
Thompsons Prawn Farm
began in 1979 as a tobacco
farm. After Thompson had a hip
replacement, he said he had to
find something he could handle,

so he switched to prawn farming.

In 2010, Thompson won the
Gilmer L. and Clara Y. Dudley
Small Farmer of the Year award
from N.C. A&T.
Im not a quitter, Thompson
said. Im a go-getter.
There are 1,689 black-owned
farms in North Carolina and
47,868 white-owned farms.
Valee Taylor, co-owner of
Taylor Fish Farm, said the disparity between the number of
white- and black-owned farms in
Orange County could be attributed to taxes.
It might be because its probably easier for others to get
financing, Taylor said.
Taylor said Taylor Fish Farm, a
fourth-generation tobacco farm,
started farming organic tilapia
in 2009.
Taylor said the farm sells the
tilapia to Whole Foods Market
and Publix, but he said it was
difficult to compete with the

foreign market.
Its hard, and I can see whats
happening with black farmers,
Taylor said.
As you transition over to a
more mainstream market like
the grocery store chains, the hospitals its hard to get in the door.
Taylor said the market is primarily interested in price point
and not the health benefits of
organic fish.
Taylor and Thompson both
attended the Orange County
Agricultural Summit on Feb. 29.
I know both of those farmers (I) have met them and
were very proud of the fact that
they had acknowledged their
role in the community during the agricultural summit,
said Richard Reich, assistant
commissioner for the N.C.
Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services.

Lifting weights to eliminate sexual assault

A sorority and a
fraternity are raising
awareness together.
By Anna Freeman
Staff Writer

A group of students will

be lifting weights in the Pit
for a few hours a day until
Friday to fight sexual assault
on college campuses.
The Alpha Chi Omega
sorority and Alpha Sigma Phi
fraternity recently partnered
to form Curls for the Girls, an
organization focused on raising awareness about sexual
violence against men and
women on college campuses
and how to prevent it.
A lot of times, a lot of
Greek organizations kind of
use things like 5Ks or cookouts so to speak to pitch their
philanthropy, Alpha Sigma
Phi member Tyler Smith said.
But we kind of wanted
to do something a little bit
different, a little bit more
interactive.
Smith said lifting weights
in the Pit is an easy and inclusive way to educate students.

(Sexual assault) is prevalent not just with girls,

but with men as well and the
LGBTQ community, Smith
said.
Smith said inclusivity in
the discussion of sexual violence is another goal of Curls
for the Girls.
The name Curls for the
Girls it rhymed. Its catchy,
Smith said.
Its not just for the girls.
Its for men as well, not just
for hetero, but for the homosexual community and trans
community.
Smith said lifting weights
is a metaphor for the heavy
burden sexual assault has
put on college campuses.
Anybody can participate by
lifting weights, and the student who does the most curls
at the end of the week will
win a free T-shirt.
Curls for the Girls is selling T-shirts to help raise
money for the Rape Abuse
Incest National Network.
Smith said 100 percent of
the proceeds go to RAINN,
which helps victims of rape,
abuse and incest.
Curls for the Girls is
encouraging students to sign

We kind of wanted
to do something a
little bit different,
a little bit more
interactive.
Tyler Smith
Alpha Sigma Phi member

a pledge to be active bystanders to prevent sexual assault,

Smith said.
Organizers are handing
out flyers in the Pit with
facts about sexual assault
and information about
campus resources available
for sexual assault survivors,
such as Counseling and
Psychological Services or
Campus Health Services.
Eugenie Chen, a member
of Alpha Chi Omega, said
Curls for the Girls is also
partnering with different
restaurants in the area. A
portion of proceeds from
the restaurants on particular nights will go to support
RAINN.
Chen said lifting weights
can represent the strength of
women who have experienced
sexual violence.

DTH/GABRIELLE PALACIO
Junior Catherine Lake pumps iron during Alpha Chi Omega and Alpha Sigma Phis Curls for the
Girls event in the Pit Wednesday. The event was to fight sexual assault on college campuses.

We want to advocate
women are strong, Chen
said. They too can come over
it and power through.
Smith said Alpha Chi
Omega and Alpha Sigma Phi
partnered because both of the
organizations main philan-

thropic interests were sexual

assault prevention.
First-year Amanda
Griffith said she came to lift
weights in the Pit because
she wanted to support a
good cause, and she felt
the event was exposing an

underrepresented issue.
I feel like we dont really
talk about those kind of
issues, and this is kind of
bringing it to light, Griffith
said.

All in all, just a crack in the wall in Hamilton Hall

By Terrance Hudson
Staff Writer

A large crack in Hamilton

Halls first-floor stairwell
has spread between several
bricks.
The crack, first noticed
in 2013 or 2014, has been
found to pose no danger to
either occupants of Hamilton
or the buildings structural
integrity, said Allison Reid,
executive director of marketing and communications for
the Division of Finance and
Administration.
This is despite the shakily handwritten text on the
wall that reads DANGER:
FOUNDATION in black
paint. The text is accompanied by a no sign in the
same paint, drawn as a circle

with a line through it.

The crack was examined
a year ago, and at that time it
was determined that the wall is
non-load bearing, Reid said.
After reviewing the crack
to determine if it had spread,
the Universitys facilities services recaulked and repainted
the wall this week.
Hamilton Hall was built in
1968 and houses the departments of history, political science and sociology. But some
students, like Brenna Elmore,
said they werent pleased with
its upkeep.
Elmore, a sophomore
majoring in media and journalism, said she has classes in
Hamilton Hall.
Ive had two recitations on
the fifth floor, Elmore said.

UNC-system faculty gets Commons app

By Eric Schwartz
Staff Writer

UNC Learning Technology

Commons is an opinion
aggregation app, like Yelp or
Trip Advisor but instead
of reviewing food or destinations, it lets UNC-system faculty communicate about the
best and the worst technology
in education.
Matthew Rascoff, the
UNC-systems vice president
for technology-based learning
and innovation, said he knew
that there was a need for better communication because
teachers on one campus could
use technology that they
loved while other campuses
didnt even know it existed.
Its about building a community among our educators
about whats working and
whats not, he said.
The Commons is a place
where educators can review
educational technology in
detail, can have conversations
with other faculty members
statewide and can give technology developers feedback.

Some technologies
reviewed on the Commons
are easy peer-editing facilitators, mobile phone content
projection systems and technologies that record classroom lessons for feedback.
Karl Rectanus is the CEO
of Lea(R)n, the technology
company that built the platform, and is a former educator himself.
Teachers trust each other,
he said. We happen to be
making it more effective
when it comes to ed tech.
He said small technology
companies with quality products are among those helped
the most by the Commons.
Not everybody has to be
going to TGI Fridays and
Dennys, sometimes that
small mom and pop restaurant has the best food out
there, he said.
Rascoff said competition in
the market produces the best
technology at the lowest price
and is conducive to discovery.
In the past it has been
about marketing over merit,
he said.

Suzanne Cadwell, interim

director of UNC ITS Teaching
and Learning, said she remembers teaching one of the first
classes that used laptops back
in 1999. She downloaded AOL
instant messenger because her
students had it, she said.
Rectanus said an engaged
teacher is the most important
factor in the classroom, but
also that technology is one
piece of the puzzle that helps
learning occur.
In the modern world
with everything going on, to
engage students and personalize that process gets more
and more difficult, he said
But Cadwell also said that
educators cant rely strictly on
technology it must be combined with engagement.
Still, Rectanus said that
UNC-Chapel Hill and the
UNC-system are on the forefront of working with classroom technology and called
their system a game-changer
for both students and faculty.
Its worth celebrating.

Guide to working out: Make a plan, make a schedule, find a buddy

By Audrey Wells
One of the best ways to stay
healthy is to stay active, and
one of the best ways to stay
active is by working out.
Here are some tips for getting and staying in the habit
of working out:
Make a schedule: College
can be hectic, finding a time
to sleep among all the things
you have to do can be hard,
let alone finding time to go to
the gym. Sophomore Austin
Seamster said uses his school
schedule to make his workout
schedule.
With my school schedule,
I can only swing going to the
gym three days a week, he
said. Each day I follow the
same workout routine.
If working out by yourself
isnt for you, you can also
create a schedule around the
fitness class schedule on the
campus recreation website.
There are classes offered at
the Student Recreation Center
and Rams Head Recreation
Center. You can find these
schedules at campusrec.unc.
edu.
Have a workout plan:
Maybe youre not unopposed

to going to the gym, you just

dont know what to do when
you get there. Dont fret!
Make a plan ahead of time.
Sophomore Adam
Sheinhaus said that hes made
a routine that he follows
every time he goes to the gym.
I work out certain muscle
groups on specific days which
ensures that my workouts
are not too long but are also
intense, he said.
Junior Christina Orantes
said shes found an effective
workout that burns calories
and replaces them with lean
mass or muscle.
It entails about 6-8 weight
lifting exercises with 3 sets
each of increasing weight,
she said. And then some type
of cardio for 30-45 minutes.
Orantes said she said she
has learned how to make
workout plans through sports
training, classes and asking
questions.
A lot of people are apprehensive about the gym, but
there are always sources to
help if you dont know what
to do, she said. Even now if I
want to change my workout or
have a question, the internet

is a very valuable resource in

addition to my fellow weightlifters.
Hold yourself accountable:
Once you have a schedule and
a plan, its time to stick to it.
Accountability is a big part
of keeping to your workout
schedule. Orantes said its
something that she just does
and her motivation is her
accountability.
Seamster said intrinsic
motivation is what drives him
to work out.
I know if I work out I feel
better, if I feel better I do better, and if I do better Im more
successful, he said.
He said if he doesnt work
out, he feels a difference in
his body and thats another
motivator.
If intrinsic motivation
isnt enough, there are other
things to hold you accountable. Sheinhaus says he uses
an app called Pact. He said the
app pays you when you meet
the goals you set and charges
you when you dont.
Go with someone: Another
good way to be accountable
is to have a workout buddy,
someone who goes to the

gym with you when you go.

Seamster said this is a great
way to hold you and your
partner accountable.
You have someone there
to motivate and push you
to do that extra rep. or run
that extra half-mile, he
said. Starting is always the
hardest with anything, so I
encourage beginners to find
a friend they can count on to
go with them consistently and
then you can hold each other
accountable.
Orantes said her workout
partner is one of her best
friends, who pushes Orantes
to go to the gym even when
she doesnt want to.
It allows you to keep
someone else motivated and
have them keep you accountable for your workouts,
Orantes said.
On top of that, Orantes
said its just a lot more fun to
have someone with you when
youre working out.
Remember, anyone can do
it: Working out is for everyone and people have a variety
of reasons for doing it. For
Sheinhaus, its to build confidence.

I work out to stay in shape

and to ensure that I am confident physically when I go
out, he said.
Seamster works out
because he knows what its
like to be unhealthy. He said
he didnt realize the importance of physical fitness until
he got to high school.
I can remember what that
was like and how tough it
was and that is part of what

motivates me to keep going,

he said. Working out will help
him later in life.
Orantes said she goes to
the gym to maintain an active
lifestyle.
Fitness has always been
apart of my life, she said.
I grew up dancing then
switched to soccer and basketball, and in college I wanted to continue to be active so I
began weightlifting.

How to fight sickness while youre

already fighting midterms
By Audrey Wells
Its midterm season, and
we know what that means: a
lot of stress, not a lot of sleep
and that thing no ones got
time for sickness.
College doesnt allow for
many sick days. Here are
some tips:
Wash your hands and keep
things clean: The Mayo Clinic
says practicing good hygiene
can prevent you from getting
sick or spreading illness. This
can be as simple as washing
your hands with soap and
water.
But this is not the only step
you can take. Carla Bradsher,
a junior biology student interested in medicine, said keeping cleaning supplies readily
available is a good precautionary measure.
If you roommate or suitemate is sick its a good idea
to have clorox wipes and disinfectant spray in your residence to cut down on bacteria
in the air and on surfaces,
she said.
Get some sleep: Its uni-

versally acknowledged that

college students have a lot on
their plate.
But, the Mayo Clinic says
seven to eight hours of sleep
per night is imperative.
When you sleep, your body
releases proteins called cytokines which need to increase
with some infections and
inflammation or when you
are under stress.
A lack of sleep can cause
cytokine production to
decrease.
Vitamin C: While Vitamin
C will not prevent a cold, it
can help shorten the symptoms at the onset of a cold.
Fluids: When youre
sick your body can become
dehydrated quickly from
trying to fight off your sickness and the symptoms,
Bradsher said.
Other fluids, such as warm
lemon water with honey or
clear broth, can help soothe
symptoms. According to the
Mayo Clinic, these fluids
loosen congestion and prevent dehydration.

two Title IX investigators

examined her case, and in May,
they made a report stating
there was enough cause to proceed to a grievance procedure.
According to the lawsuit,
Turner was not allowed to participate in the hearing scheduled by the University and was
not allowed to question the
accused student, which the
suit said violated state law.
Full participation of a
lawyer, if it means anything,
it means lawyers are allowed
to do lawyer stuff. The quintessential lawyer stuff means
questioning the opposing
party, Turner said in an interview with The Daily Tar Heel
in September 2014.
In September, the
University tried to dismiss
Murrays suit because of
mootness, lack of standing,
lack of subject matter jurisdiction and failure to state a
claim upon which relief may
be granted.
The University argued that
it has sovereign immunity over
the case, which means it has
the jurisdiction to decide the
case while other parties do
not. Geer rejected this argument in the courts opinion.
Murrays case fell under
UNCs old sexual assault policy, which changed in August
2014 about a week after
she filed the lawsuit. The new
policy aimed to clarify how
students can report sexual
assault and how cases will be
adjudicated.

her 18 points in the contest.

She leaps for offensive
boards and dives into the
passing lanes. The Panthers
toss her to the ground but
she wont stay down.
Midway through the
fourth quarter, Cherry hobbles to midcourt and falls to
the floor. Shes tweaked her
knee, and her grimace says
it all.
But the bench is no place
for the sophomore leader, not
for one minute. The Tar Heels
cant afford it.
(Assistant coach) Sylvia
Crawley said, Coach, you need
to get Jamie out. Shes hurt,
Coach Sylvia Hatchell said.
And I said, Who are we
going to put in?
Theres nobody left. Not
like Cherry.
Overtime comes, and
the season is slipping away.
Cherry drives the lane, but
her shot is smothered by the
Pittsburgh defender. On the
other end, she pokes the ball
loose and tears down the
court, her team trailing by
five points.
But she cant stay upright
not anymore. The ball flies
out of bounds as Cherry hits
the floor. She stays down, if
only for a moment.
Nearly two minutes pass.
Its the final play of the game,
and the ball is in her hands.
She launches a 3-pointer, her
seventh attempt of the game.
But it doesnt matter. Shes
too late.

shield, said Hoffman, who

was a junior at the time.
Hoffman was lucky his
injuries were minor, only a
sprained knee that healed
itself after a couple days. But
eight others were injured
as well, including a history
graduate student who broke
his wrist and tailbone.
Taheri-azar even stopped
in between Greenlaw Hall
and Lenoir Dining Hall
before hitting the accelerator.
If the Jeep didnt turn on,
I would have said that is a
sign and would not have pursued it further.
He battled internally about
whether to do it.
I really did try to tell God
that if what I am about to do
today is wrong, then dont let
me do it, he said.
Immediately after, no one
knew if people had died or if
the attack was isolated. Taheriazar said he thought he might
have killed five to 10 people,
and Randy Young, spokesperson for UNCs Department of
Public Safety who was among
the first responders that day,
said his office was thrown into
a hyper-vigilant state.
We werent sure of the
scope, so we had to make sure
it wasnt a multi-tiered attack
on campus, he said. DPS,
Chapel Hill Police and other
law enforcement set up an
incident command center as
the Pit became a crime scene.
Seeing police cars and
ambulances in that area
It felt like an assault on the
heart of campus, he said.

university@dailytarheel.com

Taheri-azar turned himself

in, telling detectives that he
didnt want it to turn into a
high-speed chase and that he
had nowhere to go. He had a
knife and pepper spray with
him in the Jeep in case he had
to get out of his car, according
to interviews with detectives.
He took measures to commit the most damage possible.
In interviews with detectives,
he said rented a Jeep because
theres a better chance you
can keep going after you hit an
obstacle and chose lunchtime
to do it because of the large
number of people in the Pit at
that time.
For some reason, I wanted
them to know I did it and why
I did it, he said 10 years later.

The anger in his heart

He didnt have any friends,
just acquaintances from his
classes. He had become cut
off from his family. Alone and
working at Jimmy Johns on
Franklin Street to make rent
at his Carrboro apartment,
Taheri-azar was frustrated with
his life despite graduating less
than three months before.
The last place I wanted to
work was Jimmy Johns.
He applied to more than
10 graduate schools for clinical psychology as well as 25
different jobs. His top choice,
a counseling position at the
states juvenile criminal justice division, declined him.
I would say theres a good
chance I wouldnt have done
it (had the state extended an
offer), he said.
But the biggest reason
for his anger toward the

The Daily Tar Heel

American government and
former President George W.
Bush, he said, was the lack of
social interaction he had.
Had I been socializing
with people more, had people
I cared about and loved, that
would have prevented me from
committing a crime like this.
Letters sent by Taheri-azar
in the months after his arrest,
while he was in Raleighs
Central Prison, give a glimpse
into his thinking at the time.
There, he was immediately put on suicide watch
and kept separate from other
prisoners. One of his letters
to an Orange County judge
complained of a psychiatrist
closing his door too loudly;
another letter informed the
court that he dismissed his
court-appointed attorney
without a reason why.
Your mind starts to act
really funny when youre
locked in a room for a long
time, he said.
His lawyer James Williams
notified the court that the
defense would pursue an
insanity defense.
The judgements by psychiatrists from either side never
became public after Taheriazar agreed to the plea deal in
2008 that came with a maximum of 33 years in prison.
(My family) didnt want
to see me getting any time at
all and were pushing for me
to go to trial with the insanity
defense, but I didnt want that.
Going to trial, Taheri-azar
said, put him at risk for a
life sentence, something he
wanted to avoid.
He said the psychiatrists
evaluations did not turn up

anything or at least anything they thought medicine

could fix. He said he is not on
any medication currently.

A return to normalcy
A reclaiming of the Pit
was held after spring break
and helped the campus come
together again, Jablonski said.
A sense of safety and routine
quickly returned to campus
except for some of the victims.
Those people had to continue a healing process from
both a physical and mental
health perspective, she said.
As far as Taheri-azar, he
has held a relatively low profile since agreeing to his plea
deal. He said he started working out in a CrossFit program
and is reading classics such as
Dickens.
But the biggest change has
been his remorsefulness.
If I could see the victims,
I would tell them to their face
that I wish I didnt do it.
While Hoffman said that
sentiment is good to hear, he
said he has trouble believing
that Taheri-azar has changed
from the indifferent person
that intentionally hit him and
eight others.
I dont have any reason to
think any differently, he said.
This will be the challenge
for Taheri-azar, who is projected to be released in April
of 2032.
I hope the world can see
me again as a person and
not a criminal and accept me
again, he said.
A return to normalcy.

Community members met

over breakfast Wednesday for

to discuss the agencys accomplishments in 2015 and its
future plans for downtown.
The meeting was held at

where staff presented a

This report presents economic data from 2015 that
was tracked with a database
developed by Bobby Funk,

Downtown Partnership.
Funk said the database
allows the partnership to

on business openings, closings, retention, mix and value.

FREE PUBLIC LECTURE

Youth vote in NC could

impact election results
By Anica Midthun
Staff Writer

With the 2016 elections

underway, the Center for
Information and Research
on Civic Learning and
Engagement conducted
a study that found North
Carolina was among 10 states
nationwide where the youth
vote could completely change
the election.
CIRCLE understands the
deep impact and importance
of youth vote and has created
a research-based index on
youth electoral significance in
the top 10 states and congressional districts where youth
are poised to have an exceptionally high impact in 2016,
said Noorya Hayat, a CIRCLE
researcher, in an email.
While North Carolina
breaks CIRCLEs top 10 in
rankings, the study found
that a number of reasons,
including stricter voter registration laws and higher rates
of poverty in the state could
negatively impact youth
voter turnout.
North Carolina still makes
the top 10 because the states
youth have historically voted

very differently than older

voters and have shown that
they can turn out, making
their votes more influential,
the survey said.
The index is based on the
number of people under the
age of 30 eligible to vote on a
state-by-state basis.
According to a study done
by the N.C. Office of State
Budget and Management, the
states population age 18 to 34
is projected to increase 16 percent between 2015 and 2035.
Hayat said in the last 2014
midterm election and the
2012 presidential election,
youth voter turnout in the
state was higher than the
average across the U.S.
Hayat said CIRCLE,
among other organizations, is
working with young people to
bolster young adult turnout at
the polls.
Former UNC student body
president candidate Wilson
Sink, a UNC junior and member of Tar Heel Vote, said
in the 2012 general election
North Carolina had more
than 50 percent of the young
adult population show up to
the polls.
Every election is impact-

ful, and the youth vote always

matters, Sink said
Katy Harriger, a political
science professor at Wake
Forest University, said North
Carolinas youth could be
extremely impactful if their
turnout is as high as that of
other age groups.
Young people also need
to believe that candidates are
taking them and their concerns seriously, Harriger said.
Though the national young
adult turnout in the past has
been historically low, Sink
said the current political race
could change that.
The media attention of
presidential candidates brings
people to the polls, and the
attention on this primary
cycle is unlike anything Ive
ever seen, he said.
Sink said young people
often feel disengaged from the
process, so no one votes, even
from college campuses where
a large part of the electorate is
composed of youth voters.
If you want to have your
voice and opinion heard, start
with your constitutionally
given right vote, he said.

this lecture tells the history of a single family, it is also a reflection on how one

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Wilson Sink, on the importance of voting

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Drew Sheneman, The Star Ledger

am anxious. I have never

been diagnosed with an
anxiety disorder, but I
know I have one.
From the age of 11 onward,
I have spent countless nights
trying in vain to fall asleep
but instead listing out all of
the things that I have to do,
the things Im scared of and
how much I regret about the
previous day.
Ive found ways to counteract my anxiousness, but Ive
come to accept an abundance
of nervous energy will always
exist within me. However,
I havent gotten over how
exhausting being inside my
own head can be.
I havent been diagnosed,
but maybe its because every
time I go to talk with a therapist, I end up talking my way
out of my anxieties. I talk
about other things, usually
ending my rambling with, But
Im really fine.
One hour in, and I feel
better. One hour out, and
Im back to my list-making.
Im back to stress; Im back
to wondering what might go
wrong today. I know there is
the medication option, but the
thought of my brain changing
because of tiny pills makes me
even more nervous.
Sometimes it feels like
there are holes in the bottom
of my personal lifeboat and
theres no way to plug them up
so I dont sink.
Im not in this boat alone.
There are countless other
lifeboats around me that are
worrying about sinking, too.
How many of my friends have
I watched have meltdowns
from stress-induced anxiety?
Well, thats a whole new list of
its own.
How many other friends
and peers around me feel like
they are debilitated because
of an unnamed disorder? I
wouldnt want to even try to
imagine.
Is self-diagnosing a dangerous way to deal with
anxiety? If I could go back
and tell my 11-year-old self
to tell her parents she wasnt
sleeping and she was worried
about everything from dying
to forgetting to put the finishing touches on a science fair
project, I would. Id tell her
to say something now before
she loses years to insomnia
and days to being anxious out
of her control.
I want to say those things to
myself now, but I dont know
how. I do know I have anxiety, but there are moments I
wonder if Im just being overdramatic. After all, Ive found
ways to dull the racing heartbeats, the shaky knees and the
skittishness over the years.
Since starting college, Ive
come to wonder if ignoring my
anxiety is the best way to deal
with it after all.
If I cant say it to my
20-year-old self, Ill say it
to whoever is reading this
column. Dont diminish that
racing heart rate or the feeling
you are suffocating: Its real,
even if someone hasnt put a
name on it.
We all are anxious, and just
because its a common feeling
doesnt mean youre making
it up in your head. It isnt too
late to deal with it, even if its
been something youve tried
to ignore for almost a decade.
Talk about it. I am now, and
Ive been told that is the first
step.

MRC more than DVDs

One could easily get
lost in UNCs Media
Resources Center.

e want to alert
students and
faculty to this
incredible treasure of
the Media Resources
Center, housed in the
Undergraduate Library.
The MRC hosts tens of
thousands of films and television episodes, in multiple
formats (screenplays too!),
while also providing viewing facilities for individuals,
small groups and instructors. Streaming services are
now integrated, including
BBC and ethnographic
documentary databases.
For instructors still jug-

gling all kinds of media

examples, MRC can host
course reserves and also
purchase media items on
recommendation. With
the audio books available
from MRC, you can hear
texts while doing your
daily errands. Looking to
master a foreign language?
MRC provides resources to
either supplement traditional language courses or
allow one to learn a foreign
language on their own.
The MRC also allows one
to be a media practitioner.
Professional video cameras
and portable audio recording devices and lighting
are available to borrow. An
equipped recording studio
is provided. Analog media
can be digitized. For post-

production, the MRC provides workstations in the

media lab so you can edit
and polish your project.
Most importantly, during
open hours the knowledgeable, friendly and patient
staff of the MRC help train
any UNC member who
asks, and are available
both through reservations
and walk-ins for group or
individual lessons. They
are committed to working
with faculty and students
to develop resources and
instruction on media, visual
and digital literacies.
Venture to the basement of the UL, and give
them a visit. You will be
happy you did, as a whole
world of media creation is
yours for the asking.

Remember this ght

Gender nonspecific
housing is still a
worthy cause.

vents such as
Transgender
Awareness Week
and the creation of
gender-affirming spaces
like Pride Place have been
successful in advancing a
healthier and more open
vision of the kind of community UNC can be.
However, since the
Board of Governors struck
down a proposal for gender-nonspecific housing
in 2013, campus has been
lacking a long sought after
space that is both permanent and institutionally created for the sole purpose of

welcoming those with fluid

gender identities.
And, with numerous
other issues on campus
being debated over the
past few months, the dialogue surrounding genderneutral housing has perhaps stalled. But that must
not be allowed to continue.
The objective of securing gender-neutral housing
on campus is too important to be forgotten due to
other prominent issues on
campus, such as Margaret
Spellings appointment as
UNC-System president.
In fact, if anything, the
change in leadership ought
to represent a new way
forward for those seeking
to live in on campus housing that is inclusive to all

gender identities.
This issue offers a prime
opportunity for Spellings
to prove to the 5,000 students who protested her
appointment across six
different campuses that
she is both a willing and
capable leader who will
serve their best interests.
That is not to suggest
that Spellings could unilaterally make this decision,
but her support would be
a sign of goodwill to an
already contentious beginning to her administration especially given the
deserved distrust members
of the LGBTQ community
feel towards her.
The students have spoken, Spellings. Now, will
you prove them wrong?

Fond farewell

Better together

Margaret Spellings has

only been in office for 36
hours and we
can already feel
the spirit of Ayn
Rand descending upon our
halls. The invisible hand is
slowly tightening its grip
on this beloved place. Soon
we will be attending our
classes in Verizon Hall before heading to Bojangles
Center to watch basketball.

A huge S/O to the graduating UNC basketball seniors.

We appreciate
all the effort
you put into
every game and
the hours of
highlight videos you gave
us to enjoy. We wish you the
best in everything you go
on to do. So thank you, and
remember, you are always
welcome to visit us here at
The Daily Tar Heels office.

Senator Thom Tillis endorsed Marco Rubio for

president, proving right every
POLI professor
who ever suggested people
tend to support people like
them. Both senators have
skipped major votes and
promote hateful policies. It
is good to see that despite
many people hating them,
they still have each other.

The real face of UNC

Drop date blues

Donald Dump

We would like to give a

shoutout to UNCs spokesperson Jim
Gregory for being at almost every campus protest. While we
are not always on the same
side of every issue, we do
appreciate you standing
there and absorbing the
various withering critiques
of UNC being hurled South
Buildings way.

For those of us lucky

enough to still be subject
to the old drop
date for classes,
there is but one
class of mortal
enemy left
professors who dont give
back any grades before
the day of truth arrives.
Why would you torture us
so? Cant you give us just
one measly sign that your
midterm wont ruin us?

Super Tuesday is over,

which means our primary is
just around the
corner. We are
always excited
to vote, but we
are not happy
about the fact it seems we
will be stuck with the (insert
a negative adjective here
any will do) Donald Drumpf
as the Republican nominee.
So Republicans, please vote,
but dont embarrass us.

TO THE EDITOR:
Important tips for voting
in the March 15 NC primary:
1) If you registered
in Orange County in a
prior year and are still in
the county, you can vote.
Voters who registered this
year are of course eligible
too (Almost 6,700 new
voters signed up in Orange
County this academic year,
65 percent who are under
age 30). Address changes
within Orange County can
be reported at early voting.
2) Voter ID is in effect
for the primary; eligible
documents are N.C. drivers license (address does
not need to be correct),
passport, N.C. DMV nonoperator ID, military ID
and Veterans ID. An outof-state drivers license can
be used if you have been
registered to vote in NC less
than 90 days.
3) If you are unable to
obtain an acceptable photo
ID due to a reasonable
impediment you can still
vote a provisional ballot
at the polls. (Examples of
a reasonable impediment
include but are not limited
to the lack of proper documents, family obligations,
transportation problems,
work schedule, illness
or disability.) You will be
required to sign a declaration describing the impediment, and provide your date
of birth and last four digits
of your Social Security number. You will vote a ballot
which will still be counted.
4) The primary is on
March 15 during spring
break, so if you will be out of
town early voting March 3
through 12 is your best bet.
5) You can also vote by
mail in the county of your
voter registration (including Orange County). Your
absentee application is due
by 5 p.m. on March 8, you
can print a form at ncsbe.
gov (look for absentee ballot request form on lower
right) and fill out and sign
then snail mail, FAX, or
attach to an email. You may
have received a state voter
guide in the U.S. Mail a few
weeks ago which has an
absentee application in it.
6) Early voting is at six
locations in Orange County,
including Chapel of the
Cross next to Morehead
Planetarium on East
Franklin Street, Carrboro
Town Hall on West Main
Street and Seymour Center
on Homestead Road. Hours
beginning Thursday March
3 are Monday through
Friday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and
Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
7) Voting hours in your
precinct on primary day are
6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
8) There are four primary ballots available:
Democratic, Republican,
Libertarian and nonpartisan. Those affiliated with
one of the three parties
will get that ballot (which
includes the CONNECT
NC bond issue), unaffiliated voters can choose one
of the three party ballots
when checking in to vote,

or just vote the non-partisan ballot which only has

the bond issue on it.
9) As of this writing,
persons not yet registered
to vote in Orange County
can register to vote at
early voting and then
immediately cast a ballot.
This is called same-day
registration. Anyone using
same-day registration
needs to have evidence
of their current address.
For UNC dorm residents,
UNC has supplied a dorm
roster at the Chapel of the
Cross, Carrboro Town and
Seymour Center early vote
sites which satisfies that
requirement. Off-campus
and Granville residents can
use one of the following that
has their name and address:
current utility bill, bank
statement, government
check, paycheck, or other
government document,
any of which can be shown
on your smartphone to the
election official if you dont
have a printed copy. You also
need to satisfy the Photo
ID requirements set out
above when you vote after
registering.

UNC should enforce

its smoking policy
TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you for Erin
Friederichs March 1 article
about UNCs No Smoking
Policy.
Notably the policy is so
named and not limited to
establishing a 100 feet from
a facility free-to-smoke zone.
Section II of the policy
states: This policy applies
to all University visitors,
patients, students and
employees, including faculty, EPA non-faculty, staff
and student employees. It
is the responsibility of every
member of the University
community to conduct himself or herself in compliance
with this policy.
Section III states in
part: The University will
post signs about the policy
appropriately throughout
campus
Section V states: All
University departments
and work units must
establish procedures that
include identification of the
employee(s) responsible for
understanding the policy,
being able to educate visitors, patients, students and
employees, and assisting
in enforcement, as needed.
The Office of Human
Resources can assist
departments in developing
their procedures.
Countenancing ashtrays
and chairs around the Polk
Place flagpole to make
public smoking there more
convenient and comfortable
would seem to violate these
policy provisions.
Also of note the hospital
and health sciences campus
are meant to be entirely
smoke free.
Faculty and students
genuinely concerned about
smoking as a health and
safety issue should speak up
and seek change.
