Champion turned high school coach
David Noel
returns to
Southern
Durham High
School
By Alex Gailey
Staff Writer
DURHAM Although he didnt
know when, why or how it would
happen, David Noel was certain hed
coach one day. And he was right.
The call came in late August.
Kendrick Hall, the mens basketball
head coach at Southern Durham
High School, had stepped down.
The school wanted Noel to apply.
After all, it was his home.
Fifteen years ago, Noel was
a football and basketball star at
the school. As a senior, he was an
all-conference selection in basket-
ball and averaged 17 points, eight
rebounds, four assists and three
steals per game.
Despite his dominance on the
hardwood, Noel was initially noticed
and recruited by UNC to play foot-
ball. But within his first year on
North Carolinas campus, the then
6-foot-6, 216-pound athlete walked
onto the Tar Heel basketball team.
And now, over a decade after the
end of his four-year career at North
Carolina which included a nation-
al championship in 2005 and
professional stints in Spain, France
and Slovakia, Noel took the chance
to come back.
To be frank and honest, I thought
I wanted to do college coaching,
Noel said. But when this opportu-
nity presented itself, it was just hard
to turn down. Im just thankful that

Carrboro: evolving
for over a century
Carrboro was not
always the progessive
town it is today.
By Lauren Talley
Staff Writer
Carrboro has changed a lot
since its incorporatation in 1911.
It wasnt even originally named
Carrboro, but Venable, after
the UNC President at the time,
Francis Venable.
Carrboro board of Aldermen
member Damon Seils said Venable
wasnt happy to have the town
named after him at the time it
was a poor, small community.
In 1913, the town was renamed
after Julian Carr who provided the
town with infrastructure improve-
ments including streets and elec-
tric power. He also had a notorious
past for his racist actions.
Seils said Carrboros governing
board, the Board of Aldermen, is
a common term for municipali-
ties in North Carolina. Chapel
Hill Town Council used to be the
Board of Aldermen as well, and
before that they were the Board
of Commissioners.
Current Mayor Lydia Lavelle
said that the conversation comes
up periodically to rename the
Board of Aldermen to the Town
Council, but said the current board
would consider it if it becomes an
issue among residents.
Carrboro is regarded as having
the first openly gay mayor in the
south, Mike Nelson, who served
from 1995 - 2005. He is not only
the youngest mayor of Carrboro,
but is the longest serving as well.
Richard Ellington is a life-
long resident of Carrboro and is
the president of the Chapel Hill
Historical Society. He was even
delivered as a baby by a former
mayor of Carrboro, Braxton Lloyd.
Mayor Lavelle is the first openly
lesbian mayor in a Southern town,
Ellington said.
Carrboro was not always a
David Noel, who won a national championship in 2005 with UNC, returned to his former high school, Southern Durham, as head basketball coach in late August.
Ms. Massenburg gave me the oppor-
tunity to not only come back, but to
be a part of a program that I was a
part of for so many years.
The hiring process
From the get-go, Noel knew there
would be stiff competition for the
position. He was one of more than
40 applicants the school considered.
We thought long, hard and went
through the process interviewing
progressive town. Ellington said it
wasnt until students began mov-
ing off campus and into Carrboro
that the town started to change.
In the 1970s, the Carrboro
Community Coalition was created
by a group of citizens to modern-
ize the town. They began running
candidates and weeding out many
of the older Aldermen members.
The coalition focused specifically
on the student population liv-
ing in Carrboro and could now
vote with the passage of the 26th
Amendment in 1971.
In the 1980s the Association
for a Better Carrboro the ABC
was organized as a response
to the Carrboro Community
Coalition. Ellington said the ABC
was a more conservative group
and ran their own slate of candi-
dates against the coalition.
Before this, everyone ran
independently, Ellington said.
It made for a lot more conten-
tion but also more fairness you
actually had to listen to the dif-
ferent candidates.
The CCC and ABC faded away
over time, but Carrboro has been
a dynamic community since then,
said Ellington. In 1977, Carrboro
elected its first African-American
mayor, Robert Drakeford.
He had a pretty progres-
sive reputation at a time before
Carrboro had really taken on that
reputation, and he was sort of our
first bicycling mayor and made a
lot of advances for cycling infra-
structure in the town, Seils said.
Another prominent mayor,
Ellington said, was Ellie Kinnaird
who was mayor from 1987 - 1995
and was named a Town Treasure
by the Chapel Hill Historical
Society in 2010. Kinnaird was a
strong advocate for the arts, envi-
ronment and the community.
Now, Carrboro has evolved
into more than just the town
next to Chapel Hill.
Were the only Carrboro in Company celebrated their history and
the whole world, Lavelle said. If future thanks to the largest gift from a

multiple applicants, Southern interim
athletic director Crystal Massenburg
said. Me and Mr. Len sat down and
thought really hard about everything.
We both agreed that David was the
perfect fit for our program.
Noel gladly accepted the position
and fully acknowledged hes a novice
to coaching.
It couldve definitely been a
deterrent but they believed in me,
he said. Im going to try to make the
most out of the opportunity.

Meantime still going strong
In just one year, The
Meantime Coffee Co.
has achieved a latte.
By Kate Karstens
Staff Writer
To celebrate its first year
of operation, The Meantime
Coffee Co. served a birthday
cake latte on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
Purchasing one, or any of the
drinks they sell, puts money
toward scholarship funds and
study abroad experiences.
Molly Ewing, a second-year
graduate student, was at The
Meantime the day it opened.
She said the shop has expand-
ed their selections since their
opening, but still has the
same vibe despite its growing
popularity.
The people who work
here are students and have
engaged themselves, talking
about what is going on in
the world and school, Ewing
said. You wont see that if
you go to any coffee shop.
Lauren Eaves, senior and
co-founder of The Meantime,
said Ewings perception is
exactly the goal of the shop.
Eaves sees giving back to the
students as one of many social
justice aspirations she and

hope to accomplish.
I hope that we can begin to

Student Stores celebrated with cake

The event

the stores
new layout
By Jerry Jiang
Staff Writer

UNC celebrated the grand re-

opening of the newly designed
student stores with a ribbon-cutting
event on Tuesday, complete with
a colossal, multi-layer cake for the
campus community.
The re-opening marks the end
of the $3.8 million renovation,
transforming the store into a com-
munal hot spot. Lloyd Kramer, UNC
history professor and director of
Carolina Public Humanities, said
he envisions the space to be a cradle
of intellectual vitality, where ideas
among community members and
books clash together.
Its already becoming a buzzing
center of student and faculty activ-
ity, Kramer said. Every time I come
through here, there are just lots of
people sitting at tables and drinking
coffee, talking about the meaning of
life and why we are here all of the
things that are supposed to happen
at a university.
As part of a 10-year agreement,

New comedy club hopes to fill a hole in Chapel Hill

The club is owned by
a former SNL writer
and UNC graduate.
By David Saffclose
Staff Writer
Ever since DSI Comedy
Theater closed due to allega-
tions of sexual misconduct
against its owner, Chapel Hill
residents have not had a site
dedicated to teaching and
performing comedy.
UNC graduate Ali
Farahnakian has returned to
Chapel Hill to re-establish a
comedy presence on Franklin
Street. He hopes to fill the
hole DSI left with The Peoples
Community is possibly the most integral
part of it
Ali Farahnakian
Founder of The Peoples Improve Theater
Improv Theater (The PIT).
His resume includes expe-
rience with nationally recog-
nized names.
After graduating from
UNC in 1990, Farahnakian
moved out to Chicago, where
he became more involved
in improv comedy. He
started out performing for
well-established theaters,
such as Second City and
ImprovOlympic.
He was a founding member
of Upright Citizens Brigade,
along with other comedians
like Amy Poehler and Matt
Besser. Then he moved on to
write for Saturday Night Live
for nine years. After being let
go, he founded the first incar-
nation of the PIT in New York
City in honor of his and many
other comedians personal
mentor, Del Close.
On Monday, he set up 12
chairs and invited the com-
munity to come voice their
questions and concerns about
the new theater. He was
delighted to welcome in over
40 residents, eager to learn
about the new space.
The PIT is named after the
speaking area on campus of
the same name. Farahnakian
described his walk through
campus earlier that day as a
river of memories.
In his improv workshops,
he said he teaches performers
to say, Yes, and until they
must say, No, thank you.
Addressing the crowd,
Farahnakian said, This was
going to be an office space,
recounting when he heard
about the vacant building.
It was very hard not to say,
Yes, and to this, he said.
He quickly got past the
elephant in the room by
assuring the attendees that
he has zero tolerance toward
employee misconduct.
Community is possibly the
most integral part of it, because
from the community comes
the craft, Farahnakian said, in
response to the overwhelming
attendance to his event.
The turnout assured him
that he will not have to start
from scratch, but he is excited
to breathe new life into the
existing comedy scene in
Chapel Hill.
Will Purpura, who will be
in charge of the space when
Farahnakian returns to New
York, said improv has had a
positive effect in his life.
I do believe that the sim-
ple things we learn in improv
are so essential to life, just in
terms of saying yes to other
peoples ideas and having a
positive attitude to things,
Purpura said.
Some attendees such as
Drew Vollmer, a member of
the UNC comedy troupe False
Profits, spoke their minds
about the potential to inte-
grate students into the local
comedy scene.
With the opening of the
new theater, this is a great
opportunity to improve on the
relationship between the town
and campus, Vollmer said.
Farahnakian and Purpura
hope to have the theater up
and running by late October.

North Carolina shelters open arms to those fleeing Irma

The Red Cross
shelters will provide
basic health services.
By Mitra Norowziclose

North Carolina is ready
to accept Hurricane Irma
evacuees heading north from
Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina after opening five
new Red Cross shelters across
the state this weekend.
The shelters will be wel-
coming those displaced by
flooding and damage done
by the hurricane.
Shelters in Gaston County,
Henderson County, Johnston
County and Mecklenburg
County opened on Saturday
and an additional Guilford
County shelter in Greensboro
opened Sunday.
The state asked a num-
ber of jurisdictions to open
up shelters that were right
along the highway for evacu-
ees coming out of Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina,
and they identified the plan
based on the major arteries

Greensboro is capable of
hosting 500 evacuees.
Greensboro City Council
member Sharon Hightower
said the city recently pur-
chased the building, which is
close to the highway, police

stores.
Its an ideal location to
use as a shelter, she said. I
know the people coming in
will feel safe and welcome as
they have a place to go from

Mary Donny, regional
disaster program director for
the Red Cross, said the shel-

shelter evacuees.
Donny said the shelters
will provide clothing, toi-

along with basic health care
services.
We generally have a nurse
on hand or access to a nurse
and health services, she said.
And depending on the event,
we always have access to pro-

A 2013 80-point Art inspiring discourse

outburst versus ODU on race and politics

DTH FILE/KEVIN HU
Former UNC players Bug Howard (84) and Ryan Switzer (3) celebrate during a 2013 game against ODU.

By James Tatter The Monarchs, who were Kapilovic reminisced. T.J.

Assistant Sports Editor
North Carolinas last
football game against Old
Dominion remains a moun-
tain amidst the landscape of
the programs history.
Scanning the record books,
its impossible to miss. And
with the Tar Heels set to face
the Monarchs for the first time
since the historic game, its
worth reminiscing on the show
that UNC put on in Kenan
Stadium on Nov. 23, 2013.
North Carolina accumu-
lated 80 points on 721 yards
of offense. The Tar Heels had
11 touchdowns five passing,
four rushing, one kick return
and one punt return. The 80
points were the most UNC
has ever scored in a game and
tied for the second most ever
scored by an ACC team.
Entering the matchup,
UNC was just looking to
become bowl eligible in its
second to last game of the
season.
Going in, we were con-
cerned, said offensive line
coach Chris Kapilovic, who
has been with the team since
2012. They had a really
explosive offense. They had
done a nice job on defense.
They took chances all over the
place with special teams.
NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS FOOTBALL IN 2013 AND AGAINST ODU
in their first season as an FBS
team, did pull ahead of the
Tar Heels in the first quarter.
Approaching the 10th minute
of the game, ODU led, 10-7.
UNC took the lead by
the end of the first quarter,
setting up one of the most
incredible 15 minutes in the
schools football history.
It went like this: T.J.
Logan one-yard touchdown
run. Marquise Williams to
Ryan Switzer for a 43-yard
touchdown pass. Williams
to Switzer again, this time
for a 57-yard score. Logan
on another one-yard run.
Williams to Kendrick
Singleton for another passing
touchdown.
Those 35 points set a UNC
record for most points scored
in a quarter. And if the names
above sound familiar, they
should.
All 11 touchdowns that day
were scored by either first-
years or sophomores. Players
such as Logan, Switzer,
Williams, Quinshad Davis,
Bug Howard and Lucas
Crowley were budding young
talents who would come to
define the program over the
next four years.
Switz and Q and Bug
all look like these skinny
little freshman out there,
Logan and Lucas Crowley,
all those guys. That was at
the end of the season. Those
guys had finally gotten a
season under their feet, and
they started performing at a
higher level.
One more familiar name
on the box score that day was
Kanler Coker. He came in
at quarterback at the end of
UNCs 80-20 win, which was
shortened by five minutes
by mutual agreement of the
coaches.
Coker would later go on
to play for basketball team,
winning a championship as a
senior in 2017. The rest of the
football team had basketball
on its mind that day as well.
The basketball team had
defeated Richmond, 82-72,
the same afternoon. Williams,
aware of the basketball game
score, implored head coach
Larry Fedora to call for a
field goal in the dwindling

Peter Williams discusses his artwork as a part of the Hanes visiting artist lecture series on Sept. 12.
By Cy Neffclose
Staff Writers
About halfway into his
speech Tuesday night, painter
Peter Williams projected a
photo of a tree with multiple
lynching victims hanging
from its limbs.
This was not uncommon
in the early 20th century. As
blacks prospered, entire towns
were wiped off the map,
Williams said. Because a lot of
people saw it as you got too big
in life, youre coming down.
Williams gave the lecture as
part of the Universitys Visiting
Artist Lecture Series. He was
brought by UNC assistant pro-
fessor Jina Valentine, who met
Williams at an artist residency.
Williams talk spanned decades
police brutality and falling in
love with Libertas, the goddess
of liberty. Some attending the
talk found Williams focus on
social issues and use of history
to be thought-provoking.
I thought it was really
inspiring to see race issues
that are pulled from historical
references and contexts and
see them transformed into
something thats so relevant
today, sophomore Aubrey
Knier said. It just goes to
show you that even though
we think we live in a post-rac-
ism society, issues that were
going on during slavery and
whatnot are still relevant, and
were still battling today.
Williams recalled an
episode at an art gallery in
Detroit where he saw African-
DTH/NASH CONSING
to believe that human beings
did these things and they did
them often and they did them
across the United States. And
if they dont know about them,
its because our history has
been scraped clean.
Some found Williams
refusal to shy away from
unsettling material important
for fostering discussion.
The work is incred-
ibly relevant and I think its
really important for artists
to engage in really current
and difficult topics because
thats the role of art, to engage
people in discourse, said

professor of studio art.

an interest in both history
and the black experience,
Williams sees Americans fail-

Williams said. Its so beyond

All that imagery needs

so many people in so many
different ways. I think we live
in a time right now where you
got to take a stand.

Rumor has it: thrift store hits 4 years

Rumors Boutique
pulls in customers
with unique vibes.
By Karlton Tate
Staff Writer
Rumors Boutique is not
the average thrift store in
Chapel Hill.
Located behind Als
Burger Shack off of North
Graham Street, Rumors
offers high-quality vintage
clothes, sunglasses and
accessories to students will-
ing to leave the comfort of
campus.
Owners Casey Longyear
and Marshe Wyche opened
the first Rumors store in 2007
in Richmond, Virginia, offer-
ing local and international
indie lines of clothing. After a
year, the budding store tran-
sitioned to become more of a
thrift boutique with a focus
on high quality, vintage items.
Longyear and Wyche
opened their second location
in Chapel Hill in 2013, offer-
ing the same types of vintage
finds to UNC students.
The store celebrates its
four-year anniversary this
month.
Our style grows and changes to meet the
students that are here.
Ben Daughtry
Manager at Rumors Boutique
From the moment one
walks into the store, shop-
pers will notice posters
strung up on the walls, art
covering the shelves and
loud indie music blast-
ing over the speakers. Ben
Daughtry, a manager at
the store, believes that the
unique flair generates the
stores appeal.
We definitely have a look
about the store that I think
a lot of people like, its what
draws people in, Daughtry
said.
Daughtry said one of the
strengths of the store is the
ability to quickly adapt to new
fashion trends.
Our style grows and
changes to meet the students
that are here, Daughtry said.
For students looking for
clothes over atmosphere, the
boutiques buy, sell and trade
business model allows for an
ever-shifting supply of mer-
chandise. Rumors employee
Mason Stroud believes that
the quality of the items in the
store is what keeps people
coming back each week.
Rumors has higher quality
things, what you get here is a
nice selection, Stroud said.
We want to make sure what
we get here is worth selling.
Rumors website allows
customers to browse
curated goods online and
offers nationwide shipping.
The Chapel Hill locations
Instagram page also attracts
customers from across North
Carolina who come into the
store to scoop up featured
items.
Everyday we take about
20 to 30 pictures and try to
set up the really good stuff on

Bands support right to equality, equity and rocking out

Cats Cradle will host
an ACLU benefit
concert this Saturday.
By Olivia Clark
Staff Writer
Five bands will perform
at Rockin the Rights at Cats
Cradle on Saturday in order to
raise money for the American
Civil Liberties Union.
The money will go to further
the ACLUs mission of protect-
ing the civil rights and liber-
ties of all people. Their efforts
include defending the discrimi-
nated, lobbying, litigating in
courts and trying to silence
Its in support of a really good organization
that is there to protect our civil rights.
Tommy Schopler
Guitarist for The Whiskey Honeys
suppressors of free speech.
The goal of the ACLU is
not only to protect, but also
to advance the rights of all
North Carolinians, said Molly
Rivera, the communications
associate of the ACLUs North
Carolina branch.
We are here to defend the
Constitution and the laws of
our state and our country, and
through that, we work on a lot
of different issues, Rivera stat-
ed. Including everything from
the ACLU, especially for stu-
voting rights to LGBTQ equal-
ity to reproductive freedom to
criminal justice reform.
The benefit concert starts
at 7 p.m., and while admis-
sion is free, donations are
encouraged. The lineup
will consist of The Whiskey
Honeys, Too Much Fun,
Butcher and the Tin Man,
Cyril Lance Band and The
Allen Boys.
Rivera said that the event
is a great form of publicity for
dents. She wants students to
realize their role in protecting
civil rights.
Students first and fore-
most have an important voice
on college campuses and can
use their voices to speak out
on a lot of different issues not
just affecting students, but
just as North Carolinians,
she said. There are certainly
laws passed at the state leg-
islature that affect UNC stu-
dents, so its important to stay
informed and to contact their
representatives to make sure
that the interests of students
are being heard.
Tommy Schopler, guitar-
ist for The Whiskey Honeys,
and his wife came up with
the idea for the concert after
deciding that they needed to
make a personal effort to help
their community. In their
efforts to protect the rights of
individuals, they reached out
to the ACLU.
Its in support of a really
good organization that is
there to protect our civil
rights, Schopler said. We
need to support that organi-
zation, especially during these
interesting times now.
Mike Riley, who plays elec-
tric guitar for Butcher and the
Tin Man, said their band was
immediately on board to play
at the event after they heard
about it.
We feel its a worthy
cause, said Riley. The Cats
Cradle is an outstanding
venue we are excited to
play there and just are look-
ing forward to everyone hav-
ing a great time.
Schopler said he also hopes
the energetic atmosphere and
the events great cause will
attract students to Cats Cradle.
Students will be exposed
to some bands that they may
not be aware of in the area
that are really fun, Schopler
said. In general its not about
the music its about ACLU,
but music is a fun way to get
there.

Two representatives goofed on brief
By Emma Boggess
Staff Writer
U.S. Rep. Mark Meadows,
R-N.C., and U.S. Rep. Walter
Jones, R-N.C., removed their
names from a brief to the U.S.
Supreme Court last week after
mistakenly supporting a pledge
to end politically motivated
gerrymandering.
Allison Tucker, Jones com-
munications director, said the
congresspersons name was
added to the brief due to a
misunderstanding. The brief
now includes signatures from
34 current and former rep-
resentatives from across the
country pledging to support
actions to eliminate partisan
gerrymandering in the forma-
tion of voting districts.
Amici are united in the
belief that removing the most
extreme forms of partisan
manipulation from the leg-
islative redistricting process
is consistent with principled
and constituent-first repre-
sentation, the brief said.
Among the briefs signa-
tories is David Price, D-N.C.,
who said in a press release that
politically motivated gerry-
mandering has systematically
stifled the democratic process.
It is time we put an end
to a system where politicians
have the ability to cherry pick
their voters, the release said.
My home state of North
Carolina has been ground-
zero for hyper-partisan ger-
rymandering, and I am proud
to add my voice to this effort.

The N.C. House of Representatives released this proposed state House map on Aug. 19. The districts needed be drawn after a court declared the old map unconstitutional.
nalism professor who focuses
on the relation between poli-
tics and the media, said the
issue is not that Republicans
are drawing districts to main-
tain their majority its the
way theyre doing it.
Redistricting has to take
place because the population is
always growing and changing,
he said. At issue here is the
extent to which Republicans
have drawn districts in order to
remain in the majority.

the opposition doesnt even
contest the election, he said.

Thats not an election at all.
The second issue is that
the way districts are drawn
affects the outcome of legisla-
tion. Guillory said one-party
dominance may lead to legis-
lation that may not reflect the
wishes of the state as a whole.
The third issue with parti-
san gerrymandering in North
Carolina, according to Guillory,
is that a veto-proof majority

I want to be able to help
young men get the potential
out of them that is locked
deep inside at times, he said.
As a new coach, Noel is
beginning to understand the
workload that he has to take
on for his team. Noel pointed
out that as a player he never
realized how much his coach-
es did behind the scenes.
Its definitely something
strenuous, but also enjoyable
and fulfilling, Noel said.
Looking forward
The team is in rebuild-
mode now since they lost a
few players in the last two
years, Noel said.
Noel thanked the previous
coach Kendrick Hall for the
From Page One
job he did and plans to con-
tinue the program by adding
some changes.
The coaching is going to
change a little bit, Noel said.
Im going to bring something
to the table these guys may
not have seen before. Im
going to ask a little more out
of them than they may be
used to (so they can) unlock
their potential.
Curington said their focus
is going to be keeping the
players in top physical con-
dition and making sure the
team plays hard together.
We wont rely on one
or two people to shoulder
the load, Curington said. I
think itll be a positive thing
to make a cohesive unit that
relies on each other and not
one or two individuals.
Noel said he wants to push
his players to be the best they
can be because it can create
opportunities. Noel recently
Wednesday, September 13, 2017
reached out to universities
along the East Coast, letting
them know about his new
position and the program to
see if any interest sparks with
recruiters.
Hopefully well have a
revolving door of coaches
coming in, Noel said.
In his first year coaching at
any level, the former Tar Heel
captain may not have a cham-
pionship on the horizon. But
Noel has proven he can adjust
7
to whatever hes thrown.
Whether thats deciding to
play college basketball over
football or returning to
his old high school stomp-
ing grounds to coach Noel
plans to get the most out of
his players, just like his high
school and college coaches
previously got the most out
of him.
And he can proudly say hes
home to do it.

EQUITY made the statement many

FROM PAGE 1
A shift in policy
Last April, members of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
School Board voted unani-
mously to approve a district-
wide equity plan, aimed at
increasing the academic
achievement of students of
color.
The Equity Equals
Excellence plan outlines
objectives and action
steps that address culture,
curriculum and instruction
within the district. The plan
lists immediate priorities
that include: implementing
Restorative Practices and
Circles trainings; analyzing
discipline data; and developing
diverse teams to review
curriculums and provide
trainings on culturally
responsive teaching practices.
Jeff Nash, director of com-
munity relations for CHCCS,
said ultimately, the goal is
for strategies put into place
through the equity plan to
trickle down affecting every-
thing that is done in the school
environment.
Our superintendent has
times that equity is not a
thing, its not something you
check off a box and say, OK,
now were going to do equity
it truly permeates into
everything we do, Nash said.
If we want to change the
equity culture in our district,
then it impacts everyone: it
impacts board members, cus-
todians, bus drivers.
Equity 101 classes are now a
required program for teachers
and support staff, according to
the plan.
We want this Equity 101
training to not just be in pro-
fessional development sessions
for teachers but to carry over
into lesson planning or testing
or whatever it is teachers are
learning, Nash said.
Certain honors classes are
transitioning into hybrid class-
es, Nash said. These will offer
honors and non-honors credit
in the same classroom envi-
ronment. At East Chapel Hill
High, world history classes
are offered with a hybrid cur-
riculum a step Murray said
might help address the racial
divides shes observed, too.
The district is trying, and I
think thats the most important
thing, Murray said.
She said the motivation for
equity changes might include a
number of factors, like obser-
vations of classrooms or repu-
tation of the school district.
A local cry for action
The issue of racial inequity
within the schools is a problem
that began when schools were
first integrated, Hunter said.
What were trying to do is
to change the narrative around
the achievement gap and
change the narrative around all
of the disproportionality of all
the proportions in our system,
Hunter said. Schools are not
unlike any other system not
unlike public health, criminal
justice and racial gaps and
disproportionalities are every-
where.
On Sept. 16, the Campaign
for Racial Equity in Our
Schools will hold an assembly
to address the communitys
equity concerns and start find-
ing ways to mobilize for action.
Mandy Hitchcock, one of
the event organizers and a
CHCCS parent, said coop-
eration from the current
school board and CHCCS
Superintendent Pamela
Baldwin is allowing discus-
sions on equity to remain
a priority. But the biggest
hurdle to equity, Hitchcock
said, might come from white
parents in the district.
The parents that dont
have to deal with these issues
dont want to deal with these
issues they have a difficult
time seeing equity as anything
other than taking something
away from their own children,
she said. In a system with a
closed budget it could very
well mean to achieve equity
were going to have to take
some pie from this plate and
move it to another plate. And
that is when parents say no,
you can have someone elses pie
but dont take mine.
Recent political rhetoric
makes the need for racial
equity more important now
than ever before, Hunter said.
Its not just an achievement
gap, its a gap in every single
thing that you look at, she said.
There is no element of school
life where race isnt determin-
ing some aspect of education.
Changing the narrative goes
much deeper than whats
located in families of color, its
located deep in a system that
weve named racism.

But what
about
Venezuela,
Claude?
W
henever I bring up
socialism, whether
in columns or in
conversation, someone will
inevitably butt in with the
same tired point: But what
about Venezuela, Claude?
Everyone in Venezuela is starv-
ing because of socialism! Why
didnt you think of that?
So, what about Venezuela?
First of all, how socialist is
Venezuela? While the govern-
ment has been fond of fiery
left-wing populist rhetoric,
private businesses remain
numerous within the country.
In fact, private sectors
share of the economy has
remained at roughly two-
thirds under the presidency of
Hugo Chavez, whose election
in 1998 marked the beginning
of Chavist socialism in the
country. Venezuela is probably
be better described as social
democratic; they retain a
mixed economy dominated by
the private sector with a num-
ber of public service policies.
Prior to the beginning of
the economic crisis in 2014,
Chavist policies had been
generally successful: poverty
fell, literacy rates rose and
numerous worker cooperatives
and medical clinics were estab-
lished. Why did it take over
a decade for these policies to
lead to ruin?
Venezuelas biggest eco-
nomic problem since the 1970s
has been crippling overspe-
cialization in petroleum. The
current economic crisis can be
attributed to the oil glut that
started in 2014.
This led to a massive drop in
the price of oil and when oil like a very complicated,
accounts for about 25 percent
of a countrys GDP and over 95
percent of exports, a crisis is
inevitable.
However, there are other
sinister forces that have been
exacerbating the food shortag-
es in Venezuela: an economic
war against the country.
Venezuelan corporations
have been hoarding food and
withholding it from market,
as well as engaging in fraudu-
lent import deals to siphon
money and goods out of the
Venezuelan economy.
The billionaires of corpo-
rations are the same people
who are actively leading the
opposition and blaming the
Venezuelan government for
the food shortages that they
themselves caused.
This is the Venezuelan
opposition that received mil-
lions of dollars in funds from
the United States government
to destabilize Venezuela.
But even if only Venezuelas
left-leaning policies were to
blame for its collapse, wouldnt
we expect to see similar crises
in other Latin American social
democracies?
A good comparison might
be Bolivia: having been led by
leftist president Evo Morales
since 2006.
But you dont hear about the
successes of social democratic
policies in Bolivia because it
hurts the pro-capitalism nar-
rative that media corporations
want to promote.
The next time someone
mentions who socialism has
ruined Venezuela, ask them:
where is the success of capital-
ism in Latin America?

THE EDITOR
Protect the Center for
Civil Rights legacy
TO THE EDITOR:
On Friday, the UNC
Board of Governors imposed
a policy banning the UNC
Center for Civil Rights from
engaging in advocacy for
clients.
The ban on the Centers
work prohibits the Center
from representing clients
in any capacity. The policy
forbids the Center from
act[ing] as legal counsel,
meaning it wont be allowed
to give any legal advice to
anyone. The policy also
bans the Center from refer-
ring clients to other lawyers
or helping them find legal
assistance in any way. This
policy effectively ends the
work of the Center for Civil
Rights and the legacy of
Julius Chambers at UNC
School of Law.
Defenders of Civil Rights
and the undersigned UNC
student organizations and
community partners con-
demn this vote. There can
be no meaningful civil rights
work for communities and
no legitimate civil rights
training for students at
UNC Law under this policy.
The ban will prevent UNC
School of Law from fulfilling
its mission of public service
to all North Carolinians
by depriving low-wealth
communities across the
state of access to justice. It
also limits the educational
experience of students at the
law school, many of whom
came to UNC Law specifi-
cally to do the kind of civil
rights, social justice and
public interest work that the
Center exemplifies.
The Board of Governors
policy specifically exempts
legal clinics from its cover-
age. Any civil rights program
at UNC School of Law must
include practical legal expe-
rience and direct representa- between noon and 1 p.m.
tion of underserved commu-
nities. We call on UNC Law
School administration and
faculty to make the Center
for Civil Rights a clinical
project of the law school, to
ensure the continued legacy
of Julius Chambers and the
essential work of the Center
he created.

Alert Carolina is here
to keep UNC safe
TO THE EDITOR:
Almost every day we hear
about a new tragedy in some
corner of the world. While
we hope a life-threatening
event would never occur on
our campus, we must always
be prepared. Whether it is a
tornado warning issued for
Chapel Hill, a large fire rap-
idly spreading or someone
intentionally trying to harm
our community, Carolina is
prepared to communicate
those risks quickly and direct
students, faculty and staff to
take immediate action.
Having an action plan in
advance can help save lives
during an actual emergency.
That is one of the reasons
the University regularly tests
our six emergency sirens
located across campus and
in Chapel Hill.
Tomorrow, we are con-
ducting our fall semester test
We want to make sure these
sirens and all equipment are
working properly, as well as
ensure that our community
knows what to do when there
is a threat to campus safety.
While no action is
required for these sirens tests,
we encourage all students,
faculty and staff to read the
Alert Carolina email in your
inbox detailing instructions
for what to do in the event of
a real emergency.
We will also use all avail-
able communication meth-
ods, including text messages
and social media, to try and
reach as many people as
possible. You may see some
of these messages during
todays sirens test. The most
recent safety-related infor-
mation and announcements
can be found at alertcaro-
lina.unc.edu.
We would like to thank
The Daily Tar Heel for help-
ing bring public attention to
our Alert Carolina sirens test
and our efforts to keep the
University safe.
