Pokemon Go is taking UNCs campus by storm

By Jenni Ciesielski
Arts and Entertainment Editor

Like many UNC students,

Pikachu is a fan of Mediterranean
Deli.
On Monday night, the Pokemon
character was spotted at the restaurant on Pokemon Go, the
mobile application captivating the
Triangle area, along with the rest
of the nation.
By allowing the app to track
their locations, players can become
Pokemon trainers, and are able
to walk around town and catch

Pokemon characters and collect

rewards at designated spots titled
Pokestops.
Ever since the game was
released last week, people have
been seen walking up Franklin
Street adding Pokemon to their
collections and standing at the
streets Pokestops, which include
the Pencil Monument, University
Presbyterian Church and the
Morehead Planetarium sundial.
It makes you get outside and
actually do something instead of
just laying in bed, but it also brings
back a lot of memories from child-

hood, said John Gunn, a Pokemon

Go player and Country Fried Duck
employee.
The nostalgic aspects of
Pokemon Go may be why the
game has become particularly
popular amongst college kids.
Facebook groups dedicated to sharing locations of rare Pokemon and
Pokestops on campuses have been
popping up every day since the game
came out.

10 to 15 percent of North
Carolina law enforcement agencies currently deploy body cameras, but that figure is increasing rapidly, said N.C. Rep. Allen
McNeill, R-Randolph. McNeill
served as a police officer for
over 25 years and recently
authored House Bill 972, which
addresses access to police body
cam footage.
On Monday, Governor Pat
McCrory signed the bill, which
removes the public record status
of such footage, into law. The
governor said at a press conference Monday that his primary
motivation in supporting the
legislation was protecting law
enforcement officers and creating
concise policy to deal with the
influx of data from the growing
number of agencies using the
technology.
Critics view the law as a
restriction on civil rights, and
note that increasing the difficulty
of accessing body cam footage
may cause officers to act more
recklessly.
There is no reason this
footage should not be public
record, said N.C. Rep. Verla
Insko, D-Orange, It involves
public employees carrying out
public duties, using publicly
funded equipment, while being
paid by the public. This information is the very definition of
a public record.
McNeill emphasized that the
intention of the bill is not to
restrict access to information for
those to whom it is applicable. It
addresses the problem of North
Carolina currently having no

concise legal process by which

the footage can be accessed,
according to McNeill.
This law simply establishes
a set process by which people
can access these videos. If youre
depicted in this footage, you have
a right to see that video and you
can now request it through a
more streamlined process, said
McNeill. The court or agency
could refuse to release the footage, but the bill is essentially a
list of requirements to release
footage or not, and 95 percent of
the time, they will.
Some critics worry that having
to go through the judicial system
to access footage is an unnecessary obstacle to those depicted in
body cam videos.
They just arent considering how wrong it is to place
the impetus of accessing this
information on the citizen, said
Insko.
Theres not just the actual
time that one must invest in
order to navigate the court system, but theres also the financial burden of having to hire
a lawyer, which is something
most people would have to do,
she said. All this does is make
it harder for people to be given
their rights.
But the North Carolina
Department of Public Safety
stated in an email Tuesday that
the newly streamlined process
of accessing body cam videos
will quell concerns over undue
burdens on people wishing to
acquire the videos.
This law strikes a necessary
balance between maintaining the
confidentiality of law enforcement
recordings when necessary to protect an ongoing criminal or internal investigation and the need to
provide for an expedited and simplified process for disclosure, said
DPS Secretary Frank Perry.

On the money: Dollar and Insko talk new budget

Nelson Dollar was instrumental in the passage of the

most recent North Carolina
state budget. He gave an
interview to state and
national editor Cole Stanley
on Tuesday.
Daily Tar Heel: What would you
say were the key pieces to
this most recent budget?
Nelson Dollar: I think we really
focused on taking a more fiscally responsible approach.
We ensured we would be saving more.
Two-thirds of the budget
is now spending, which will

help further our economic

rebuild.
We are also quite proud of
raising our average teachers
salary over $60,000 as well
as our work to repair and
rebuild our infastructure.
Highways and airports were
always a particular concern
of ours and we finally got

that done.
DTH: I know tax reform is
one of your key policy issues.
How do you feel the average working family will be
affected by changes made in
this budget?
ND: Well were going to
continue to work hard to
help our working families.
We raised the standard
deduction from $15,500 to
$17,500.

Q&A with N.C. Rep. Verla Insko

Verla Insko is the representative for Chapel Hill to the
north Carolina legislature.
She gave an interview to
Daily Tar Heel state and
national editor Cole Stanley
on Tuesday.
Daily Tar Heel: What do you see
as the biggest takeaways from
the most recent budget?
Verla Insko: Well, I would say
the most important thing for
people to know is we could
have done a lot more, and
some of us tried to do a whole
lot more.
Most of my colleagues,

committee

and human
services.
however, decided to leave
about a billion dollars on the
table that could have gone
towards helping the state and
instead used it to pad trust
funds.
DTH: What particular impacts
might this budget have on
UNC?

VI: Well, the budget cut

almost a billion dollars from
the University system. This
budget, as well as much of
the legislation proposed this
year, is seriously undermining the effectiveness of our
University, which has been
the model for higher education, at least in the South, for
a long time.
We can expect rising
tuition, which is frankly
following a trend we see in
states nationwide right now.
Overall, I just think were

James Taylors childhood home in Chapel Hill sold at auction

The home on Morgan
Creek Road covers 23 acres
of land.
By Sara Kiley Watson
Staff Writer

The sprawling expanse of the home,

nestled in greenery and stretching
over 23 scenic, wooded acres, lies
only one and a half miles from UNCs
campus. Its the home famed musician
James Taylor grew up in, and decades
later, its been auctioned.
The property on the 600 block of
Morgan Creek Road, which has an estimated value of $1.5 million, was sold
on June 29 through AuctionFirst, but
members of the public could tour the
home on July 9. Sarah Sonke, CEO of
AuctionFirst, said the buyer is a UNC
graduate who loves modernist houses
and appreciates James Taylor, but was
won over in the end by the two dozen
acres located so close to UNCs campus.
According to the tour guide materials, Trudy Taylor, mother of James

Taylor, designed the house in the style

of a Japanese inn. George Matsumoto
designed and began the project but
was fired by Taylor when their visions
for the home differed. Durham architect John Latimer was hired to finish
the house. The Taylors divorced in the
early 1970s, and the house was sold in
1974 to Jim and Pat Johnston.
When James Taylor and his brother
Livingston Taylor got old enough to
play music seriously, Judy Taylor wanted the boys to have their own space
to do so outside of the house. Latimer
then designed the clubhouse, with
two bedrooms for the two brothers.
The home is designed to be lowmaintenance and efficient for active
children, and each Taylor childs bedroom on the lowest floor had access to
the outdoors without disrupting the
other rooms. Natural light streams
through the homes large windows and
bounces off hardwood floors and walls.
James Taylor lived in the home
through high school and references
Morgan Creek, which runs through
the homes property, in his song
Copperline.

Sonke said while people normally

assume auctions are for run-down
properties, the owner of a property
often chooses to auction for transparency and efficiencys sake. The Beatles
homes were sold to fans at auction,
she said.
Marketing for an auction is very
aggressive, Sonke said. The whole
purpose is to not only get people who
love modernist houses, but James
Taylor fans (as well).
North Carolina Modernist Houses
(NCMH) is a nonprofit that aims to
digitally archive, preserve and promote
residential modernist architecture.
George Smart, executive director
of NCMH, said he has been working
with an agent on auctioning the Taylor
home for around two months and that
the new buyer has agreed to preserve
the homes architectural style.
Chapel Hill resident and interior
designer Barbara Clare toured the
home Saturday.
I love architecture, and this is history Chapel Hill history, she said.

Meet USAs Olympic Womens Gymnastics Team

By Sarah McCulla

On July 10th, Marta

Karolyi, team coordinator
for US Womens Gymnastics,
emerged with the athletes
who will form the Olympic
Womens Gymnastics team
in San Jose after only 12
minutes of deliberation with
the Olympic selection committee. The womens trials
follows two weeks after the
mens trials and two weeks
after the womens national
competition.
The team is comprised of
five primary gymnasts and
three alternates, all selected
from a pool of 14 athletes.

Selection followed two

nights of competition, and
the top scorer all-around
from the two nights automatically qualifies for the
team. Even though score is
dependent on difficulty of
the performance and execution, the team is not the top
five scorers. The selection
committee is free to pick any
five athletes regardless of
trial placement to form the
team. The committee looks
at the past successes of the
gymnasts in the trials.

FallFest to be held beside Dean Dome

Construction on Hooker
Fields caused FallFest to
move in its 20th year.
By Jamie Gwaltney and Sofia
Edelman
Senior Writers

FallFest is getting some new digs

for its 20th anniversary.
The annual block party introduces
new Tar Heels to students organizations and free food. The event, which
usually draws crowds around 25,000,
has been held on South Road, Hooker
Fields and the School of Government
parking deck in past years.
This year, it will be held in the
S11 lot between the Dean E. Smith
Center and the Kenan-Flagler
Business school.
Megan Johnson, associate director
for communications and creative services for the Carolina Union, said the
delay in construction at Hooker Fields
caused the FallFest committee to have
to search for a new location.
I know there are pros and cons
to having it in the former locations,
like on Hooker Fields. Johnson said.
There are pros and cons to having it
in this years location, based on where
first-year, transfer and returning students live, but we hope that it will be a
really appealing location.
Don Luse, who was the director of
the Carolina Union for 20 years and
helped lead efforts to create FallFest,
said the event was created to combat
the campus tradition of going to Big
Fraternity Court to party before fall
classes began.
It had gotten to the point where,

I think the year before we started

FallFest, there were something like
36 arrests for alcohol violations and
in those days, you really had to do
something bad to get arrested, Luse
said. So things had kind of gotten out
of control on that Sunday night before
classes began.
Anne King, design and education
coordinator for the Carolina Union,
said the new location could be
appealing to new students.
I think it turned out to be a great
option for a variety of reasons: the
space and then well also be by a lot of
freshman housing so that will be convenient for them, King said.
Although FallFest wont be in its
usual location, Johnson said the new
location has perks including space
for additional student organizations.
She said inflatables and vendors from
previous years will still be present.
I think students will be really
excited about the footprint because
I think youll be able to look around
the event and see things a little bit
easier than in the past, you had to
navigate up to South Road or down
to (Hooker) Fields or up to the School
of Government deck, Johnson said.
This is all more on one flat surface.
Johnson said this years FallFest
will have other new initiatives, such
as a social media scavenger hunt and
giveaways for the 20th anniversary.
She said they will also use social
media to distribute maps and directories for the event.
Aaron Bachenheimer, director of
fraternity and sorority life and community involvement, said FallFest
moved to Hooker Fields after being
held exclusively on South Road.
Back when it was on South Road,

it was really cramped so it was nice

when the move was made to sort of
move it predominantly to Hooker
Fields because it provided a lot more
space, he said.
I think the S11 sort of Dean
Dome location this year is going...to
have a similar effect, having a large
number of student orgs which is
really what at the end of the day its
all about, trying to connect predominantly new students, although some

returning students, to student experiences that they can be a part of.

Neha Batra, co-captain of Bhangra
Elite, said performing at Fallfest is an
important part of recruiting for their
team because people can see how
Bhangra dance differs from UNCs
other dance teams.
Were hoping since the Dean
Dome is closer to South Campus,
more freshman will be at FallFest for
a longer period of time, she said.

New Student Convocation, which

is held before FallFest for first-years,
will be held in Carmichael Arena.
Johnson said it will not be held in
the Dean Dome this year because of
renovations being done to it.
There are a lot of projects going on
this summer and so we did the absolute best we could and we are really
excited about this location, she said.

Ups and downs at the MLB All-Star Break

See what former UNC
players have done so
far this season.
Tuesdays All-Star Game
marked the midway point of
the 2016 MLB season, and
so far several former members of the North Carolina
baseball team have seen
playing time.
There are a handful of
former Tar Heels on major
league rosters, while several
others are awaiting in the
minor leagues for the oppor-

tunity to potentially make

their major league debuts.
While several of these players are obviously talented,
success hasnt come easy for
many of them.
Some have battled injuries,
while others have just not
been effective against major
league competition.
But still there are some
who have had solid seasons
through the first half of the
year.
Here is a look at five former North Carolina players
who are currently playing in
the majors this season.

Kyle Seager
While his brother, Corey, has
received much praise for what
he has done with the Dodgers
this season, Kyle is quietly having a very productive year.
In 88 games with the Seattle
Mariners this season, Kyle is
batting .287 with 18 home runs
and 61 RBIs while helping his
team enter the break at one
game over .500.
He currently leads the
Mariners in RBIs and is third
in batting average and home
runs.

Matt Harvey
Matt Harvey took the league
by storm in 2013, but it has
pretty much been downhill since
then for the former UNC pitcher.
After missing the 2014 season
while recovering from Tommy
John Surgery, Harvey posted a
13-8 record with a 2.71 ERA.
Heading into the 2016 season, many thought Harvey
could help lead the New York
Mets to sustained success, but
that wasnt the case.
In 17 starts in 2016, Harvey
went 4-10 while his ERA bal-

his hot streak continues.

By Jared Weber
Staff Writer

The United States Court of

Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
ruled 2-1 July 1 new Wake
County election maps for Board
of Commissioners and Board of
Education elections are unconstitutional, citing the Equal
Protection Clause of the federal
and state constitutions.
The court upheld the plaintiff s claim that the maps violate
the one person, one vote guarantees made law by the Clause.
The ruling has major implications for Novembers elections,
as three commissioner spots and
all nine school board seats are
up for voting.
We see no reason why
the November 2016 elections should proceed under
the unconstitutional plans,
said the decision, which has
prompted the Wake County
Board of Elections to undergo
a review process.
Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause North
Carolina, said he feels the state
has reached uncharted territory.
Generally, lawmakers have
not tampered with local government redistricting until recently, Phillips said. The lawsuit
and its ruling are unprecedented
for our state.

Things have not gone well

for former Tar Heel Dustin
Ackley since he joined the New
York Yankees midway through
the 2015 season.
In the latter half of the 2015
campaign, Ackley appeared in
just 23 games.
In the 2016 season, Ackley
appeared in 28 games, but batted just .148 with no home runs
and four RBIs before injuring
himself against the Tampa Bay
Rays on May 29.
Two days later, an MRI

looned to 4.86. And to add

injury to insult, Harvey
recently announced on July 8
that he will have season ending surgery to address thoracis outlet syndrome.

Despite rumors earlier in the

season that he might be traded
to the Chicago Cubs, Andrew
Miller has shut out the noise
and put together a very solid
first half of the year.
After bouncing around from
team to team over the first nine
years of his career, Miller has
found a role in the back of the
Yankees bullpen.
After posting 36 saves as the
teams primary closer in 2015,
Miller has continued his hot
streak into 2016.

After redrawing its voting

districts to account for the 2010
census, the then-predominantly
Republican Board of Education
was replaced with a Democratic
majority in 2011.
Two years later, in 2013,
the North Carolina General
Assembly stepped in and
switched around the districts
set-up, changing the format
from nine single-member districts to seven districts and two
super districts. Each of the
super districts were shaped like
donuts, one of which consisted
of the countys rural areas and
the other of urban areas.
The bill also restricted the
board from altering its own voting districts until at least 2021.
A group of voters disputed the
changes in court, claiming the
new districts were passed out of
political gamesmanship. They
demonstrated that the number of
voters in the two regional districts
varied greatly, with the urban
donut containing 10 percent more
voters than the rural donut.
Nonetheless, U.S. District
Judge James Dever approved the
maps, before the appeals court
ruled July 1 that he had incorrectly disregarded the testimony
made by the plaintiffs.
The Republican majority in
the General Assembly denied
assertions of political gamesmanship, justifying the maps as
efforts to increase voter turnout
and representation.
Judge James Wynn said in
his majority opinion, Rather
than seeking proportional rep-

resentation of the two main

political parties, the evidence
shows that the challenged plans
under-populated Republicanleaning districts and overpopulated Democratic-leaning
districts in order to gerrymander
Republican victories.
Phillips said he thinks the
elections will definitely go on,
but circumstances are still up
in the air.
The court is going to have
to provide guidance before we
know whats next, Phillips said.
Its hard to imagine that there
will not be an election for either
board this cycle, but there is
uncertainty right now as to when
the next election will take place
and under what circumstances.
Steven Greene, professor of
political science at North Carolina
State University, said he is sure
the elections will take place.
There will be some form of
election, but using which districts is the big question, Greene
said. My guess is that the judge
will have the election take place
under old, existing districts.
Phillips hopes the lawsuit will
result in the state reforming the
handling of voting districts.
North Carolina needs to
pass comprehensive redistricting reform which bars the state
legislature from imposing redistricting on local government,
Phillips said. All redistricting
conducted anywhere in North
Carolina should remove politics
from the process.

Mellon Foundation
grant for CPA
The Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation grant will give
artists residency in the area.
By Alexandra Blazevich
Staff Writer

Major changes continue to come to

the Carolina Performing Arts.
Less than two months after naming
Emil Kang as special assistant to the
chancellor for the arts, CPA has received
a $1 million grant from the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.
CPA will use this grant to reward four
artists in the DisTil Fellowship program,
which stands for Discovery Through
Interactive Learning. The programs runs
two to three years for each recipient with
the intention of artists and faculty working together to grow in their own fields as
well as outside their comfort zones.
CPAs director of annual giving
Rachel Ash said the program aligns with
Chancellor Folts vision to further incorporate the arts into academic life at UNC.
We see the whole grant as the natural
growth of our work that we have been
doing over the last three or four years in
particular to connect the arts to the academic mission at the University, Ash said.
The four recipients of the grant will
work with faculty, departments, undergraduate and graduate students.
Postdoctoral Fellow Aaron
Shackelford said he looks forward to seeing how this program will combine the
performing arts with academics.
This is really about giving artists

time to ask questions, to work on ideas

and have conversations with faculty and
also to share their skills and insights that
they have as artists with other faculty
and students, he said.
Shackelford also hopes the performing arts will foster new conversations
throughout campus about current events.
Part of the excitement is not knowing
where these conversations and interactions will go, he said. Thats why youre at
a university to have projects where you
do not know what the end result will be.
This is the fourth grant CPA has
received since 2011.
Shackelford said CPA has used past
grants to expand arts education at UNC,
starting with Arts@TheCore in 2012.
Over the last couple years, I think we
have demonstrated a real ability to foster
relationships with artists and to identify
artists who not just create artistically
important pieces, but who have the real
curiosity and interest to keep expanding
boundaries and ideas, he said.
CPA Director of Programming Amy
Russell said she has seen great benefits
of students and faculty working together
through these programs.
There is such a wealth of creativity here, and I think CPA has helped
to capitalize on that in a global sense,
bringing artists from all over the world
to Carolina to experience that and realize what an amazing place it is, she said.
I think the intersection of the global
artistic community with the artistic
community here has been a really powerful one.

sible on all fronts promotes

helps people in all tax brackets.
DTH: How do you think this
budget affected UNC, specifically?
ND: I think the University
fared well in this budget.
We capped the tuition
so that students will know
when they enter school how
much their tuition will cost
all four years.
We also have improved
our product at our border schools like Western
Carolina which will allow
us to better compete for top
students with other states
like Tennessee and South
Carolina.

DTH: One aspect of the

budget that has drawn
praise from people on both
sides seems to be prison
reform. Could you give me
a little insight into what has
changed?
ND: There has certainly been
a shift to focus more on
rehabilitation. There have
also been new policies put
in place to limit the amount
of time someone can stay in
prison.
And most importantly we
put into place a three-year
plan to raise the salaries of
correctional officers.
These are people that go
to their jobs and encounter danger on a daily basis.
Rewarding them for that
certainly will result in a
higher quality correctional
system overall.

for Second Chance to get that
donation, and we were very
pleased with the results. Fans
seemed to have a lot of fun on
the field.
But, there are risks that
come with playing the game.
A Wyoming teen came
across a dead body by
the Big Wind River while
searching for a water
Pokemon last weekend, and
robbers in Missouri used
the apps geolocation feature
to find victims near rare
Pokemon late at night.
On Tuesday, the Chapel
Hill Fire Department
released a series of safety tips
on its Twitter page, reminding trainers particularly
younger ones to watch
the roads and be cautious
of strangers while trying to
catch em all.
Despite its risks,
Pokemon Go is seen as a
rewarding game for many,
and not just because of its
nostalgic feel.
Carolina Outreach Peer
Support Specialist Marshal
Edwards said he thinks the
game can be helpful for
anyone facing mental health
issues.
Edwards said he believes
working with patients on
breaking down tasks into
simple, achievable goals
leads to improvements with
multiple mental health
issues, and that Pokemon
Go is a great example of
this belief.
The game does a really
good job even just its
visual effects of rewarding
you for achieving goals, and
the bright colors of the setting and medals give a slight
release of dopamine, he said.
Edwards also said the
game provides two of the
best ways to improve mental
health: exercise and social
interaction.
Its one of the first video
games that gets you outside
your home, which is especially great since the game is
really based on community,
he said.
Haisfield said hes experienced the benefits of
Pokemon Go Edwards discusses, and believes the quest
to catch em all has a positive impact on society.
I just think this app is one
of the biggest in augmented
reality so far, Haisfield said.
Between yesterday and

total of ten miles and I probably wouldnt have otherwise.

Misty Morin is amongst many

students who say the game
brings back memories of
playing other versions of the
game.
My first game I ever got
was Pokemon Ruby and I was
obsessed with it, she said.
UNC junior Rob Haisfield,
a level 15 Pokemon Go
trainer, created a GroupMe
dedicated to the game in
which trainers in Chapel Hill
will share the locations of
Pokemon characters that are
typically hard to find.
He said he decided to make
the group after seeing how
willing students playing the
game were to help each other
collect characters and get to
new levels.
When I was on campus, I
had like three or four people
on separate occasions be
like Are you playing? Im
looking for X Pokemon or
Y Pokemon, wanna help me
find it? Haisfield said. And
we probably come from just
the right age group to have
just the right amount of nostalgia to really drive it.
Due to its popularity
amongst college-age students, the childhood game
is making its way through
Chapel Hill nightlife.
Country Fried Duck had a
Pokemon-themed trivia night
on Monday, and tonight,
The Baxter will host its own
Pokemon Go theme night.
The Pokemon movie will
play in the background as
trainers share tips and socialize. Doorman Chris 13 said
the idea for a theme night
came after seeing customers
play while in the bar.
Itll be pretty big, he said.
Ever since the damn game
came out, weve had people
wandering in on the phones
trying to catch the Pokemon.
But special opportunities
to catch rare Pokemon like
Mewto and Zaptos arent
just available for nighttime
players.
The Durham Bulls also
took advantage of the phenomenon by opening up its
ballpark to guests from 11
a.m. to one p.m. on Tuesday.
For $5, fans were able to
roam the stadiums outfields,
stands and even home plate
in hopes of catching all the
Pokemon in the ballpark.
Matt Sutor, the teams
director of communications, said over 600 trainers attended the event with
many staying there nearly the
whole time. The $3000 the
event brought in will all be
donated to Second Chance
Pet Adoptions in Raleigh.

with the event, Sutor said.

Clef Hangers reflect on presidential year

The group performed
at the White House
this past December.
By Jenni Ciesielski
Arts and Entertainment Editor

When Robert DeGolian

envisioned his first year at
UNC, he didnt expect it
would include meeting not
one, but two, presidents.
Id always loved singing,
but it was more of a hobby
than anything else, he said.
I really didnt know what
I wanted to do, I kind of
struggled figuring out what I
wanted to do at one point,
I was even thinking about
walking onto baseball team.
Thats when the Clef
Hangers, who had seen some
of DeGolians high school singing videos, approached him
about trying out for the group.
I tried out and went with
it, and its the best decision
Ive made here, he said. Ive

had the chance to do some

incredible things and Im
super happy I ended up making the decision I did.
One incredible thing was
getting the chance to meet
President Barack Obama when
the group was invited to sing at
the White House last winter.
It was very exciting, said
Taylor Euliss, the Clefs music
director. It was a lot of luck,
and coincidence, and good
planning and a clear schedule
at that time.
While the trip to
Washington relied on coincidence, the performance
preparation had anything but.
DeGolian said the group had a
handler to give them strict regulations, like making sure their
rendition of James Bays Let it
Go, was exactly 60 seconds.
But these strict instructions led to the tense environment disappeared when the
president walked in.
We were all kinda like
pinched, didnt know what to
expect and he came in really

... he came in really loose and was like, How

are the Tar Heels doing? and just really
engaged in conversation.
Sophomore Robert DeGolian on getting to meet President Obama last Decemeber

loose and was like how were

the Tar Heels doing just
really engaged in conversation,
DeGolian said. It was kinda
cool, he was a very normal guy.
Senior Christine Szeto said
she thought the Clefs singing
for Obama was not just great
for the a cappella group, but for
the whole school.
I feel like that sort of recognition by the president for our
school is huge for us, she said.
DeGolian said meeting a
president in December was an
experience he never thought he
would be able to do. Then he
did it again a few months later.
For their annual spring
break trip, the Clefs went
to Sweden and Iceland, and
sang for the latters Reykjavik
International School.
We got to sing there and
have an instructional pro-

gram for the kids, and as a

byproduct of that, the headmaster decided she wanted
to get in contact with the
president of Iceland which
is insane, Euliss said.
The headmaster approached
them about singing for the
president at ten that morning.
By seven P.M., Euliss and the
Clefs found themselves in the
presidents mansion singing for
lafur Ragnar Grmsson.
We got to talk about
America for a little bit and
our political situation, and
he gave us some advice, complimented our singing and
then he gave us a tour of his
house, he said. It was an
incredible experience.
Despite having a major year,
and graduating four seniors,
the group members dont plan
to rest on their laurels.

COURTESY OF CHUCK KENNEDY

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama joined
the Clef Hangers for a photo and listened to them in December.

Theyre continuing to work

on their album, which comes
out in Spring 2017, and have
already added two incoming
first years to the group.
There are definitely holes
to fill, DeGolian said.

But we all know the level

we need to come back and
live up to. Im really excited
for the next year and so
excited to come back.

New faculty secretary, new plans

The Faculty Executive
Committee discussed
the upcoming year.
By Macon Gambill
Staff Writer

On Monday, the Faculty

Executive Committee used its
first meeting since the June
30 retirement of longtime
secretary of the faculty Joseph
Ferrell to discuss how it can
best utilize meetings to fulfill
its broad charge.
Among other duties, that
broad charge includes acting
on recommendations from
the larger Faculty Council,
exercising certain legislative
powers when prompt action
is required and representing
the faculty in advising the
University administration.
The new secretary of the
faculty, Vincas Steponaitis,
said he is getting up to speed
with his new position and
working on changes to make
the executive committee work
more efficiently.
If we use the analogy of
faculty governance being a
ship, then the chair of the
faculty sets the course but the
secretary of the faculty is kind
of like the ships engineer
who keeps things running,
Steponaitis said. If this were
the Starship Enterprise,
(Cairns) would be Captain
Kirk and I would be Scotty.
Because Im new and
because Im stepping in
after a faculty secretary who
served for 20 years, Im coming in with very different,
very fresh eyes, Steponaitis
said. Everything that I learn
about, I actually pick it up
and look at it from different
angles and have some different ideasI think that in the
next year, particularly, maybe
during the next six months,
theres probably going to be a
lot of little changes to the way
things happen.
Steponaitis said he hopes
the changes will help utilize
the councils and his staff s
time more efficiently.
A major issue discussed
during the meeting was how
to identify issues the council will address during the

DTH/AISLINN ANTRIM
Chair of the Faculty Bruce Cairns (left) and the new secretary of the faculty, Vincas Steponaitis (right),
discuss how to best utilize the Faculty Executive Committees meetings on Monday afternoon.

upcoming academic year. The

discussion focused on whether the council itself should
identify issues or receive
issues from other committees
and groups on campus.
One of the issues that has
come upis how often the
executive committee meets
and whether or not there are
items on the agenda that are
required, Bruce Cairns, chair
of the faculty, said.
I think that with a new
secretary of the faculty and
new people rotating into the
system, what we need to do
is have a process that works
for everybody, Cairns said.
And so Im happy to create
an agenda, create a mechanism for people to bring
items to the agenda, for there
to be mechanisms through
the secretary of the faculty
to address any concerns that
people may have, because
what we really want is people
to stay engaged and involved.
What were trying to do is
create a framework to discuss
the issues, Cairns said.
During the meeting,
romance studies professor Rosa Perelmuter called
for the committee to seek
answers regarding the recent

departure of Taffye Clayton,

UNCs former vice chancellor
for diversity and multicultural
affairs and chief diversity
officer.
This was a high administrator, Perelmuter said.
Compared to other people
who have stepped down or
have left, there is usually an
announcement by higher-ups
in the administration saying
so and so has leftthank you
for all the years, whatever,
and we are appointing so and
so to replace this person, or
they could say were appointing a committee to look at
whatever.
It doesnt seem to me that
she deserves not to be properly sent off, she said. Its not
an inconsequential matter. So
instead of letting it festerI
think it would be good to
address in whatever fashion
the administration, the person whos a superior, is able to
address it.
Cairns said the executive committee would pass
Perelmuters request on to
Rumay Alexander, chair of
the community and diversity
committee.

The Daily Tar Heel

QUOTE OF THE DAY

By Drew Sheneman, The Star-Ledger

...It involves public employees carrying out

public duties, using publicly funded equipment, while being paid by the public...

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

It is not mutually exclusive to say you oppose
racism and also that you support the idea that
everyone needs to earn his or her own place.

Delrawn,
Alton,
Philando,
Unknown

his past weeks events

have me reeling. On
four consecutive days,
a Black man in America was
killed or found dead. On July
4, Delrawn Small was killed
by police in New York. On July
5, Alton Sterling was killed by
police in Louisiana. On July 6,
Philando Castile was killed by
police in Minnesota. On July
7, an unnamed Black man was
found hanging in Piedmont
Park in Georgia.
Last Thursday night, July
7, Micah Johnson, a former
Army Reserve officer, killed
five Dallas police officers at a
rally against police violence,
leaving seven other officers
and two civilians wounded.
He was eventually killed by a
police controlled explosive.
Im hurting. Im hurt that
the lives of Black Americans
are still being seen as less than
human and worth less than
human decency. Im also hurt
that another Black man had to
lose his life because he felt that
killing innocent police officers
was his only option to combat
police brutality.
As a young Black man in
this country, I understand the
pain, sorrow and anger one
feels when another Black life is
taken unjustly. But at the same
time, theres no reasoning or
rationale to take more innocent lives.
But let me be clear: Black
lives matter. And Black lives
still matter after what transpired in Dallas. Yes, five officers in Dallas being killed by
Micah Johnson is a travesty.
However, that in no way
negates the deaths of the four
Black men that lost their lives
last week. No, those officers
didnt deserve to die, but neither did those four Black men.
If all lives truly mattered to
those that live by the slogan,
then where was the outrage
when Dallas occurred?
Many expressed their
anger at Dallas through the
#BlueLivesMatter hashtag.
The intriguing thing about
#BlueLivesMatter is the blue
identity being a police officer.
It assumes that the occupation
becomes the sole, never changing characteristic of ones
identity.
The thing is, police officers arent bound to that
identity. They can take their
uniform off. I cant take off
my Blackness or simply wake
up and decide to not be Black
anymore. My life is Black and
will forever be that way.
#BlueLivesMatter is simply
a farce, a cheap attempt to
undermine the value of Black
lives at a time when it is most
necessary.
All in all, no one that died last
week deserved to lose their life.
As the stepson of a police
officer and someone who
simply values human life, I
am saddened by the deaths
of the five police officers who
lost their lives in Dallas last
Thursday. But under no circumstances will I allow for
anyone to treat that isolated
event as a means of negating
the tragedy of four Black lives
lost.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The student-athlete
experience at UNC

EDITORIAL

Forgetting humanity
In times like these,
we need not forget
what unites us.

e, as humans, all
have two things
in common. We
were born, and we will die.
The identities, affiliations, and social groups
that we join along our
journey are what differentiate us.
We have the same biological needs and desires,
so why is it that so many
people find it difficult to
see humanity in others?
The identities that give
us so much strength can
blind us as well, when they
shouldnt.
We become so caught
up what and who we
think we are, and what we
think others are, that it
hinders us from acknowledging and considering
the same in others.
Blindly defending the
actions of those who look
or identify as something
similar to us is dangerous.
Just like not identifying or
agreeing with another per-

son does not erase their

humanity.
For some reason, as
of late, it becomes most
apparent when unarmed
Black men are killed. He
should have done XYZ!
But, he had a criminal
record! ...and?
Do you think your past
transgressions would
justify your death? Think
about it.
To put this in perspective, lets take it back to
the basics: being mean is
wrong. Hitting someone is
wrong. Shooting someone
is wrong. Killing someone
is wrong yes?
Now, to be more specific: being mean to someone
that doesnt deserve it, is
wrong. Suckerpunching
someone is wrong.
Using a gun to deliberately shoot someone is
wrong. Intentionally killing another human being,
in any way shape or form,
is wrong.
Having past transgressions does NOT justify
shooting an unarmed
person.
Killing someone, is

wrong. Even if it was

justified, taking the life
of another human being
is not okay. The fact that
people, not just police
officers, have killed people
and not been indicted
and/or charged is a problem.
If you are neutral in
situations of injustice, you
have chosen the side of
the oppressor. Your silence
confirms that you are supporting the acts of the perpetrator. So, if you support
the murder of an unarmed
human being not
because they pose a direct
threat to those around
them but because of the
color of their skin, you too,
are a perpetrator.
Not all of us are comfortable protesting, or
expressing our deepest
thoughts on social media.
Small conversations can
make a difference.
People should not
be killed intentionally.
Regardless of race, religion, profession, sexuality
or any other distinguishing factor than an individual may posses.

A very, serious problem

We challenge you
to confront the
uncomfortable.

s humans, we strive
for internal consistency. When things
dont add up, we get
uncomfortable.
Our need for consistency can be understood
through the concept of
cognitive dissonance. To
put it simply, when we
experience inconsistency,
or dissonance, we become
uncomfortable and are
driven to avoid situations and information
that increase it. The most
popular example is that of
a smoker. A smoker may
know that smoking causes
cancer, but they continue
to do so.
As a result of the dissonance, we strive to resolve
discomfort in three ways:
focus on one or more supportive beliefs that outweigh the dissonant belief
or behavior, reduce the
importance of the conflicting behavior or change

the conflicting belief so

that its consistent with
other beliefs or behaviors.
The uncomfortable feeling comes with knowing
that two things add up
when they shouldnt. The
problem is not just that
its uncomfortable to think
about it, but it encourages
us to take the easy route
away from it.
For example: the reaction towards the actions of
some cops towards minorities. In reality, cops are
supposed to protect and
civilians. The dissonance
arises when cops shooting and killing unarmed
civilians of the same demographic becomes a pattern.
That shouldnt happen.
The same feeling can
arise when confronted
with #BlackLivesMatter.
The reality in knowing that all people are
equal and being confronted with the challenge of acknowledging
it although deep down
inside you know that
certain populations are
disadvantaged in multiple

capacities of their lives.

Its one thing to
understand that something is not fair or right,
but the problem arises
when some are forced
to acknowledge it. The
pause that accompanies
the thought of acknowledgement is the reason
why so many individuals
struggle to understand
and recognize the purpose of the BLM movement. Acknowledgement
does not equate to blame
or fault. Would you not
feel the need to assert
your worth if you were a
Black person in America
right now? The fight isnt
against you. Its against
oppression, institutionalized racism, hate and so
many other societal entities that infringe upon the
lives of Black individuals.
Yes, all lives matter.
But if you get squeamish at the mention of
#BlackLivesMatter, think
about why it makes you
feel that way, and consider
how nice it must be, to not
need to use it.

FallFest changes

5...6...7...8...9...

Why are hundreds of greeting cards stuffed into boxes

on one table
at the Student
Stores? Most
babies are born
in the summer,
so how can we celebrate our
loved ones if it takes us thirty
minutes to locate a decent
card in the stacks?! Hmpfh.
Its great that the shirts on
display are a little more crisp,
but we are not pleased.

Early last week, Delrawn

Small was shot as a result
of a road rage
incident. Alton
Sterling was
killed outside of
a convenience
store. Philando Castile was
killed in his car after being
pulled over. Another man
was found dead, hanging
from a tree, in Georgia. Three
of them were killed by police
officers.

Although the changes to the

student stores have been
tremendously
disappointing,
the new location
for FallFest (kind
of) makes up for
it. S11?! From the upperclassmen that finesse bags of
goodies and were forced to
trek back to Rams Village, we
thank you. Future Tar Heels,
get ready for the most convenient FallFest to date.

Late last week, Brent

Thompson, Patrick Zamarripa, Michael Krol,
Lorne Ahrens,
and Michael
Smith all police officers, were
shot and killed by a sniper
during a calm protest over
recent police shooting in Dallas, TX. Yes, it is possible to be
upset and disappointed by
the deaths of unarmed Black
men AND police officers.

TO THE EDITOR:
Looking back at my
first two years at UNC, Im
starting to realize its not so
much the injuries that have
wrapped the iconic phrase,
Im a Tar Heel, in a somewhat depressing connotation its the feeling of
guilt associated with it.
From a variety of different flavors of resentment,
Ive learned to associate
the student-athlete experience with sacrifice in all the
wrong ways. Study abroad?
I cant even study.
At a minimum, professors
are wary of you. At most,
they outwardly refuse to sign
travel forms out of ideological protest (yes this happens). Other students dont
even try to disguise their disdain in ideology. Some of my
teammates have sat through
debates in classes wherein
the overarching consensus is
that athletes dont deserve to
be here. The tone is always
personal. And I guess it
settles in.
Heres the thing. What a
blessing it is to be an athlete at UNC and anywhere. Today I was just
writing. I didnt mean to
write about running, but
the following paragraph
shot out of the pen like
an awkward, brace-faced
7th grade me in the 100meter dash: I was born
to be an athlete. Its in my
bones. Its literally in my
bones and I havent felt it
in so long. Its fire when
I fly. Its life. Its life like
you cant live it any other
way. Carving out the curve
on a track. Shouldering
someone with a stick in
your hand. You have to
beat them Goddammit.
You simply have to. And
then you do and youre
the hero, but none of that
matters as much as all
the life you just lived in

an instant. All the human

you just were. Thats me.
More than anything. I
dont know why Ive been
ashamed of that.
There are real problems
with the student-athlete
experience on an administrative level. But none
of that has anything to do
with the athletes themselves. They came here
for fire. Try to honor that.
Try to respect that. I cant
believe I ever forgot.

Moving past being a

bystander
TO THE EDITOR:
For most of the past year,
I have been a minority in
countries where I did not
speak the local language.
Studying abroad for seven
months has been a chance to
experience different cultures,
but it also made me take
a look at my own identity
as an American. And I am
shocked.
I have witnessed the rise
of a bigoted demagogue
from afar. My home state
made international headlines for passing a bill that
never should have been
considered. I read news
about the aftermath of the
Orlando shooting. Most
recently, the video of Alton
Stearlings death has gone
around the world. My anger
and sadness after seeing
that footage compelled me
to write this letter.
These events shape our
identity as Americans, and
I sincerely hope this is not
the ideal we strive to reach.
When I boarded a plane at
Charlotte in January, 2016,
Trumps presidential campaign was still viewed as a
joke by most people. People
need to take action and
become informed about
the issues facing our state
and country. I have been a
bystander while abroad, but
that will certainly change
when I get home.
