CONNECTING THE DOTS

NCAA INVESTIGATION REVEALS ASSOCIATIONS
When news broke in July that the NCAA was
investigating North Carolina’s football team, no one was
quite sure what it would mean — UNC has never been PLAYERS STILL
the target of such an investigation. UNDER INVESTIGATION
Since then, the investigation has gone in two directions, Eleven players still are being investigated by either the NCAA or
the University. UNC hasn’t said which players are being
investigated for agent issues, academic issues or both. The 11,
examining both improper contact with agents many of whom were starters, did not play in the first two
games and forced North Carolina to rework its

silver bullet for a range of concerns
with the Greek system.
“There’s no clear consensus that
recruitment in the fall or spring
produces different results,” Gardner
said. “The general advice from
everyone is there are more impor-
tant ways to affect the culture and
success of Greek system than the
timing of the recruitment period.”
At 2 p.m. today, Gardner will
present the findings of the board’s
University affairs committee to
students and Greek officials.
Gardner said the board’s recom-
mendation to the University, sched-
uled to be released in January, could
come as soon as November.
In an inter vie w Tuesday,
Gardner said the discussion in the
Freedom Forum room in Carroll
Hall will address the committee’s
concerns that rush interferes with
students’ assimilation into campus
life. It will address the concern that
the current rush caters to the nega-
tive stereotypes associated with the
Greek system. And it will address
the problem of forcing students to
make a decision in 10 days that will
mold their four years at UNC.
After researching comparably
sized Greek systems at schools rang-
ing from Cornell University to peer
institutions such as the University
of California - Los Angeles and the
University of Michigan, Gardner
said he has concluded that no sin-
gle adjustment will solve systemic
problems.
Of the five universities he inter-
viewed for the study, Gardner said
he was most impressed by Indiana

With nearly $50 million in
research funding, the Carolina
Population Center established
itself at the end of the 2010 fiscal
year as a leading research entity at
the University.
The center, which completes
interdisciplinary demographic
studies, received $47.7 million
in grants and contracts, marking
the second-most of any individual
recipient at UNC this year, behind
the Lineberger Comprehensive
Cancer Center.
Despite the looming economic
uncertainty with the end of the
federal stimulus, Tom Heath,
associate director for finance and
administration, said he anticipates
the steady funding growth from
“The current economic climate
at the federal level and increased
concern about deficits to some
extent has made it tougher,” Heath
said. “Some stimulus money has
been channeled into grants and
that has helped us.”
Kathleen Mullan Harris, inter-
im director of the center, said it has
been able to receive funding due to
the nature of its research.
The center is working on more
than 50 projects, most of which are
used by federal agencies like the
National Institutes of Health and
National Science Foundation —
two agencies which are among the
University’s top research backers.
More than 250 researchers from
nearly two dozen fields — ranging
from economics and sociology to
epidemiology — collaborate on
projects with the center’s support,
making a interdisciplinary research
climate that requires significant
funding to adequately collect and
analyze data.

filed when the first loan payment
cannot be made, has increased
nationwide.
But students at UNC tied with
William and Mary for the best loan
repayment rate in the country this
year, said Shirley Ort, director
of the Office of Scholarship and
Financial Aid at UNC.
The first payments for student
loans for the 2007 to 2008 school
year were due on Sept. 30, 2009.
During that time more than
238,000 of the 3.4 million students
filed a default because they could
not pay their first installment,
according to the U.S. Department
of Education.
Loan defaults at public univer-
sities in the nation increased from
5.9 percent to 6 percent in 2008
and dropped at UNC from 0.9
percent in 2007 to 0.7 percent in
2008.
The department’s research
found that the increase in default
rate stems from the current eco-
nomic climate and the rise of for-
profit schools.
“One of the reasons the rate
went up this year is the tremendous
growth in enrollment in for-profit
schools,” said Jane Glickman of the
department’s office of communica-
tions and outreach.
At for-profit universities, which
are owned by profit-seeking compa-
nies, default rates for students who
attended these universities increased
from 11 to 11.6 percent in 2008.

-From staff and wire reports
Seeks to bridge gap with University
by kelsey tsipis
staff writer
Joseph Haj signed up for high
school drama looking for a class to
sleep through.
Instead, he uncovered a passion
for the dramatic arts that spiraled
into an immensely successful career
as both an actor and director.
Haj, the producing artistic
director for PlayMakers Repertory
Company, has revitalized the
troupe, expanding its reach into
the larger University community.
“You hardly ever hear the word
‘community’ without ‘online’ attached
to it anymore,” Haj said. “Theater is
one of the last places people can join
together in a shared event.”
The company continues its 35th
season with William Shakespeare’s
“As You Like It,” directed by Haj
himself. The production officially
opens this Saturday.
Since Haj came aboard in 2006,
PlayMaker’s has doubled its num-
ber of productions, launched an
alternative series of smaller works
and staged a range of ambitious
plays — including last season’s
epic six-hour version of Charles
Dickens’ “Nicholas Nickleby.”
But though Haj is proud of his
accomplishments, he still seeks to
better bridge the gap between the
company and the University.
“We are really striving to make
PlayMakers not just a theater but
rather a teacher,” he said.
Haj received a bachelor ’s
degree in theater from Florida
International University in Miami
before joining the professional
actor training program at UNC in
the 1980s.
Twenty years later, Haj has come
back to the stage that trained him
to expand PlayMakers’ educational
programming, drawing in students
and the larger campus community
in collaboration with the depart-
ment of dramatic art.
“We really try to contextualize
the experience so that students are
not seeing production in isolation
but rather as part of a larger dia-
logue,” Haj said.
In 2009, American Theatre
magazine named Haj one of 25
artists who will have a significant
impact on American theater in the
next quarter-century. He is also on
the board of directors of Theatre
Communications Group, a national
organization for American theater.
“This is where you see some
of Joe’s greatest success,” said
McKay Coble, UNC faculty chair-
woman and chairwoman of the
Department of Dramatic Art.
“PlayMakers is no longer a
stand-alone company.”
The actors in Haj’s company say
that he uses the same hands-on
approach in his direction.
“He really is an actor’s director,”
said Jeffrey Meanza, an actor and
faculty member. “Being an actor
himself, he really understands
how to get the best work from the
actors.”
Like Meanza, many actors in
the company are professors at the
University who use their experi-
ences with PlayMakers to better
inform their teaching.

Partnership enters third year of tutoring service
Police team up with UNC Habitat
Emily wiggins
staff writer
C.W. Stanford Middle School
student Moenesha Johnson, 13,
returned this week to a tutoring
program in Hillsborough.
She participated in the program
last year for help in math and came
back for more this school year.
“I was getting D’s and C’s,” she
said. “It helped me with math and
new skills to help with problems.
“After tutoring I got B’s instead
of C’s.”
Fo r t h e t h i r d y e a r, t h e
Hillsborough Police Department
is partnering with UNC students
to offer free tutoring sessions to
county students.
The program, which began
Monday, connects UNC Habitat for
Humanity volunteers with Orange
County Schools students for after-
County updates waste plan
Hopes to prolong life of landfill
by Olivia Barrow
staff writer
Orange County staff will post the
latest update to a plan to reduce its
solid waste on its website today — a
year after it was due to the state.
Since the county implemented
its Solid Waste Management Plan
in 1997 to satisfy a state require-
ment, it has reduced solid waste by
54 percent and extended the life of
the county landfill to 2013.
Although due June 2009, the
update represents careful delibera-
tion and cooperation by the Solid
Waste Plan Work Group, said Blair
Pollock, county solid waste planner.
The group is comprised of del-
egates from Chapel Hill, Carrboro,
Hillsborough and the county.
The plan aims to reduce solid
waste in the county by 61 percent
but has no time frame since the
county rescinded the deadline.
However, the county has kept up
with and surpassed the state’s solid
waste reduction goal of 40 percent
by 2001.
As long as the update is turned
in before Jan. 1, the county will be
eligible to receive some new state
funding for solid waste manage-
school tutoring sessions.
The sessions are held at the
Community Policing Substation
in Hillsborough from 4:30 p.m. to
6 p.m. every Monday and Tuesday
during the school year.
The program is available to all
district students and provides help
with reading, math and science.
UNC student Jasmine Nesi was
involved in the program last year
and is now the tutoring chairwom-
an for UNC Habitat.
“I’m interested in education,
and Habitat for Humanity gives to
people in need, so it’s a good orga-
nization to be involved with,” she
said.
Nesi said there are 10 to 12
tutors each week — three of which
assist in carpooling. Then each
tutor is paired with one student
depending on how many come to
ment, said Gayle Wilson, direc-
tor of Orange County Solid Waste
Management.
The amount of funding will
depend on how many coun-
ties across the state turn in their
updates on time.
Wilson said the update will
likely be submitted to the state
in December and estimated that
the county could receive between
$8,000 and $30,000.
County Manager Frank Clifton
emphasized the importance of
finalizing the plan in time.
“ T h e y ’r e n o t l a r ge d o l l a r
amounts, but delays in having
a plan might jeopardize you for
qualifying for those resources,
which would have to be made up
in other fees,” he said.
The county will host a public
hearing Sept. 29 as part of the
approval process.
“We’ll be asking the public their
opinion on the 61 percent goal and
show some of the progress we’ve
made towards it,” Pollock said.
“Unless all of Orange County
makes the effort to participate, it
doesn’t mean much.”
Recognizing the need to reduce
News
the session.
“The first week is a little hectic,”
she said. “It just depends on how
heavy the work load is.”
Zachary Butcher, a 9-year-old
4th grader at Central Elementary
School, went to the tutoring pro-
gram Monday for homework
help.
“Tutoring helps you a lot,” he
said. “If you’re reading and get
stuck on an answer, they help you
to sound it out.”
Cpl. Tereasa King, community
policing coordinator for the police
department, is the officer in charge
of the tutoring sessions.
“I make sure information gets
out to schools and the commu-
nity,” King said. “I also make sure
that kids get back with the correct
parents.”
King said the police department
partnered with UNC Habitat after
University students participated in
activities with the local Boys and
solid waste or run out of room at
the county landfill on Eubanks
Road, the county has implement-
ed several practices to decrease
waste.
“Of course all landfills biode-
grade, so we’ve taken advantage
of the rotting of the waste to make
extra space,” Wilson said.
The county has encouraged
increased recycling, especially
through a ban on disposal of cor-
rugated cardboard, which takes up
a lot of space in the landfill.
Pollock said this effort prob-
ably extended the landfill’s life by
a year. The county also partnered
with Durham County to transfer its
waste temporarily.
The county is using a new mate-
rial to cover the landfill. The previ-
ous cover — soil — used six times
the space.
Additionally, the slow economy
has led to a decrease in waste —
a typical trend during economic
slowdowns, Wilson said.
Orange County has delayed
finding a new landfill site through
decreased waste, but it will contin-
ue to look for a new site over the
next few years, Pollock said.

“I asked them if they had ever
thought about tutoring, and they
put us with UNC Habitat,” she
said.
UNC sophomore Meghan Kos
said she works as a tutor because
she wants to get involved in the
community.
Kos is an education major and
said she plans on teaching middle
school mathematics.
“But any kind of work with kids
is good,” she said.
Nesi said the main goal of the
program is to offer one-on-one
help for the students.
The group’s largest obstacle,
she said, is keeping students on
task.
“The students know what they’re
talking about,” she said. “We just
have to keep them focused.”

In its two ACC games this sea-

men’s soccer team dominated play
in the midfield but did just enough
in front of the goal to eke out a pair
of 1-0 victories.
In nonconference action Tuesday

the upset and
pulled out a heart-stopping 2-1
overtime victory at Fetzer Field.
Though the Tar Heels needed
overtime to pull out the win, coach
Elmar Bolowich expected a better
performance from his third-ranked
squad against their Southern
Conference opposition.
Wofford came into Tuesday’s
game with a record of 1-3-1, with
the only victory coming against
winless USC Upstate.
“In the end, you can be pleased
that we escaped with a win, but
overall, I must say that with that
kind of focus we cannot win games,”
Bolowich said.
Despite controlling posses-
sion and creating numerous scor-
ing opportunities throughout the
game’s first 70 minutes, the Tar

“They had over 400 alumni

something we have lacked. We have
strong leadership on the sorority
side and a lack of that on the fra-
ternity side,” Gardner said.
After adding alumni advisors,
Gardner said the University’s Greek
organizations could see a spike in
community service, a reduction
in misbehavior and a more open
relationship with the student body
at large.
“The fraternities and sorori-

envelope to being not only socially
oriented but also very involved in
campus and the intellectual life of
(Indiana University),” he said.
UNC alumnus Jordan Whichard,
who served as a special adviser for
Greek affairs during the spring
semester, said he came to similar
conclusions during his research.

been so desperately seeking. With
less than three minutes remain-

played a cross into the Wofford
box. The ball took a deflection off
a Terrier defender and wound up
at the feet of UNC’s Eddie Ababio,
who smacked the ball into the bot-

the game into overtime.

potential for alumni advisers to
provide oversight into rush, men-

processes, Whichard said he found
that deferring rush to spring — like
the University of Virginia — would
not be the most sensible option for
UNC.
“There are other ways to achieve
those positive outcomes than
simply by deferring rush,” said
Whichard, whose consult ended
in May.
“If academic achievement in the
first semester is inhibited by pledg-

President Tucker Piner, who will
speak at the meeting, said he doesn’t
think moving rush is a solution.
“I’ve heard from every frater-

It takes
great
pride to
be a ‘GDI’
W
hich frat are you join-
ing? Pi Lambda Phi?
Sigma Nu? Some other
combination of letters from the
Greek alphabet? When I say that
I’m not joining and that I prefer
to remain unaffiliated, the con-
versation with some Greeks stops
— but not abruptly.
First, there’s a purse of the
lips, followed by a dismissal of
any possibility of ever pursu-
ing a friendship, and finally an
encouragement to completely
reevaluate my life decisions up
to this point.
Despite shocking interac-
tions like the one above, I can
still appreciate the benefits that
Fraternities and Sororities pro-
vide their members. No one can
argue that the Greek community
doesn’t do its fair share of charity
work. Representing only 17 per-
cent of the student body here at
Carolina, the Greek Community
executes more than 70,000 ser-
vice hours and fundraises thou-
sands of dollars through philan-
thropic events.
And of course, they enhance
our social atmosphere and night-
life too.
But sometimes it seems like
parts of the Greek commu-
nity thrive under a false sense of
superiority. Some Greeks make
it seem as though students who
don’t partake in Greek life are
merely lesser commodities of the
UNC student body — social out-
casts. What justifies this mental-
ity that I’ve encountered?
One explanation for the
tension could be that I live in
Granville Towers, where there is
a significantly higher concentra-
tion of Greeks. This increases the
pressure on Granville first years
to join a fraternity or sorority.
Another perfectly plau-
sible explanation for the unrest
between some Greeks and non-
Greeks is the pride that fraternity
brothers and sorority sisters take
in their organizations. Greeks
invest a lot of time and a lot of
money into their fraternities
and sororities and their pride is
understandable.
What’s not comprehensible
is when this pride turns into
condescension and spills over
into everyday introductions,
manifesting itself in the form of
dismissive attitudes towards non-
Greeks.
If I can respect and appreciate
the Greek community for all that
it offers our campus, then cer-
tainly the Greeks can empathize
with my decision not to join. In
my opinion, pledging a fraternity
would be a “cheap” shortcut in
navigating the student body to
find friends with similar inter-
ests. For me, there is no single
fraternity that encompasses all of
my beliefs, goals, and ideals.
I also can’t justify spending
up to $3,285 in order to belong
to a circle of friends. In fact,
this whole concept just seems
outlandish and backwards to
me. Since childhood, my parents
stressed the importance of build-
ing friendships that occur natu-
rally — not friendships that occur
as a result of $3,285.
I shouldn’t feel ostracized by
members of the Greek community
just because the costs of joining
— both monetary and personal —
outweigh my expected benefits.
Just as I respect those who decide
to join fraternities and sorori-
ties, members of the Greek com-
munity should make an effort to
understand the 83 percent of the
student body that does not.
So purse your lips if you want,
but I take pride in being a “GDI.”

On top of laptops
With more students owning laptops before college,
it may be time for CCI to change its policy
T
he Carolina Computing
Initiative’s yearly laptop
grants for students do
an ample job of making sure
every student on the UNC has
a dependable computer within
their reach.
But there are still a handful of
students who receive the grant
and choose not to use it because
they already own a computer —
or worse, they can accept the
grant and have two laptops.
CCI needs to find a way to
use these grants as efficiently
as possible. Solely basing eligi-
bility on finances is likely not
accomplishing it.
CCI has issued laptop grants
to financially-eligible students
since the fall semester of 2000.
The Office of Scholarships and
Student Aid determines which
students qualify for a grant,
and how much of the computer
is paid for by the grant.

P
art of attending a presti-
gious public university is
learning to work with a
less robust budget than those
of many academically compa-
rable private schools.
This is especially true when
it comes to allocating funds for
things that aren’t the bread and
butter of an academic institu-
tion ­— say, for example, the
Homecoming concert.
The Carolina Union
Activities Board has navigated
this by choosing an act that is
immensely popular (more than
three-quarters of tickets to the
show sold in the first three days)
among college students but not
yet mainstream enough to com-
mand an unfeasible price.

or serving in the military.
While we cannot change
what the Senate chooses to do,

This year, CCI distributed
1,820 laptop grants to students.
Of these, 1,526 have been
redeemed, and students still
have until Oct. 15 to do so.
But with no accountability
as to whether students truly
need a laptop, these grants are
surely not being put to their
best use. And since more stu-
dents than ever come to college
already owning a laptop, it will
only become a bigger issue.
CCI finances the grants
through The Chancellor’s
Technology Funds, a recurring
budget backed by state money.
UNC has committed $3.5 mil-
lion yearly to this fund, and
the fund is used solely for the
grants. If a student rejects the
grant, they cannot receive the
money in any other way through
financial aid. But this is a per-
verse incentive — it encourages
students who may not need a
that appeals to a broad spec-
trum of Carolina students.
By picking a band that some-
how manages to be both a Frat
Court staple and a Carrboro
favorite, CUAB got even more
bang for its buck — or, as the
case may be, our buck, since
CUAB’s budget comes entirely
from Student Fees.
In the five short weeks we’ve
been in school, CUAB has already
sponsored numerous provoca-
tive, entertaining and well-
received events, many of which
were entirely new ideas.
Besides securing Passion
Pit, the board managed an
advance screening of “The Social
Network” complete with the stars
and writer.
The quality of these events
indicates that CUAB has been
an equal opportunity to attend
college and earn citizenship.
Allowing these N.C. kids to
have reasonable access to high-
er education will allow them to
attend college in N.C. and have
access to federal aid.
The Act, if passed, would
allow what North Carolina has
invested into these students to
be taken full advantage of.
Let’s remember these stu-
dents already attend our pub-
lic schools, which are funded
through subsidies from the state
and federal government.
The American people have
helped to educate these stu-
dents. Does it not make sense
to continue this support so the
money was not spent in vain?

Shirley Ort, the Associate
Provost and Director of the Office
of Scholarships and Student Aid,
said that it is common for new
students with laptops to redeem
the grant and replace their com-
puter with a CCI one. Most com-
puters that students own before
coming to UNC do not meet the
University’s minimum require-
ments, she said.
But it would be beneficial
for the University to inquire
before offering grants. And if
the money could be applied
to other types of financial aid,
students would be discouraged
from misusing the grant.
Students are entering col-

when money is tight, it would

money where it will make a

careful about how they spend
their funds, vetting new ideas
thoroughly and cutting old
ones that weren’t popular any-
more.
There is a difference between
settling with a cheap but pass-
able option and using resourc-
es and savvy to find the best
value.
That difference is inno-
vation. Among student-led
organizations, CUAB has dis-
tinguished itself — especially
given the low expectations of
effectiveness that many other
student organizations enjoy.
CUAB’s performance so far
has been a great improvement
over last year. We look forward
to seeing continued innovative
and ambitious ideas from the
organization.
at UNC, stated before today’s
vote, “the only people who will
lose if the DREAM act fails is
all of us together, and the only
people that win if it passes will
be all of us and our children
who come after us.”
The fact is, these children
have grown up in America and
received benefits from our fed-
eral government.
Immigration reform is cer-
tainly a divisive issue here on
campus and in the country at
large. But we as students must
recognize the need to work for
a welcoming community —
for the day that students who
came here through no choice of
their own can receive the full
benefits of an education at one
of the best universities in the
world.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Single party rule is not
productive, not wanted
TO THE EDITOR:
One of the biggest problems in
Washington is political polariza-
tion. Blatantly suggesting readers
go out and vote Democrat is both
counterproductive and obstruc-
tive to our political system (“Vote
democrat and keep the country
on right track,” Sept. 21).
Instead of proposing the read-
er to research which candidate
would be the best fit, McIntyre
says to just go vote Democrat.
Good idea, McIntyre. He assumes
by simply having a Democratic
majority (or any majority) in all
areas of the government, all of
our problems will be fixed.
The arguments on both sides
of the aisle are interminable and
will always be, but suggesting
to simply vote one way creates
polarization which stagnates the
political process.
McIntyre has obviously never
studied government, because
it is a known fact that having a
majority in Congress and a pres-
ident of the same party passes
just as many legislative bills, and
it is just as effective as when the
parties are different.
He has proposed keeping the
government the way it is (which
has not been working), and does
not back up his examples on Social
Security and Medicare, while
bashing the Tea Party movement
without any evidence whatsoever.
Voting specifically for a single
party creates a more polar and
uncooperative government. The
more we associate ourselves with
political parties and stubbornly
sticking to one side, the harder
it gets to achieve results.
The best way to get the right
candidates into office is to
research and not specifically
vote for one party.

Give something back and
donate to UNC as students
TO THE EDITOR:
What would we do if we didn’t
have Carolina? It’s hard for me to
imagine life without relaxing in the
quad on sunny afternoons, cheer-
ing for our football team, spending
Halloween on Franklin Street and
so many other experiences we have
at Carolina. I love Carolina, as all
of us do, yet occasionally I take it
for granted. However, this year on
Tuition Free Day we’ll all have a
chance to realize the importance
of giving back to Carolina.
The Heelraisers Council, an
officially recognized student
organization on campus with a
mission to educate students on
the importance of philanthropy,
is hosting Tuition Free Day on
Monday to raise awareness about
the importance of private giving.
This coming Monday is the day
that symbolically represents when
classes would end if Carolina
relied solely on tuition for its
annual revenue. Surprisingly,
tuition only covers 10 percent of
what it takes to run Carolina each
year. Stop by the Pit on Monday
to learn more about student giv-
ing and to see how easy it is to
make a donation. Carolina does
so much for us. It’s never too early
to give back.

Mosque, NRA convention
both insensitive to victims
TO THE EDITOR:
Consider an important date
in American history: April
20, 1999. On that day, 12 high
school students were killed in
a shooting at Columbine High
School. Shortly after the trag-
edy, the NRA arrived in Denver,
eager to have its annual meet-
ing to discuss organizational
policies. Residents of Colorado
pleaded with the NRA to
reschedule but were ultimately
unsuccessful.
The event grabbed massive
headlines, and people vehemently
protested the NRA’s arrival. The
construction of the Ground Zero
mosque and the NRA’s decision
to go forward with its meeting
are inevitably linked. Just like
the NRA’s meeting in Denver,
the construction of a mosque
is neither illegal nor immoral;
it is simply in bad taste. Some
things in life cannot be decided
through numerous tests of con-
stitutionality and ethics. There is
a gut feeling that it is not right,
and just because it looks fine on
paper does not mean we should
go ahead and do it.
In this light, I know if I were
a family member of someone
who died in the Sept. 11 attacks,
I would feel quite powerless
watching the mosque being
constructed. Just like the par-
ents of the Columbine victims
had to watch the NRA presi-
dent wave a gun in the air which
symbolized the death of their
child, these relatives will have
to watch an Islam temple con-
structed only yards from where
Muslim extremists struck down
their loved ones. I can imagine
why they do not want this to
happen, and I support them.

New bicycle lanes on South
Columbia counterintuitive
TO THE EDITOR:
On the heels of the rev-
elation that Chapel Hill, like
Carrboro, is considered by the
League of American Bicyclists
t o b e a B i c y c l e Fr i e n d l y
Community (why, conspicuous-
ly, is it not “Bicyclist” Friendly
Community?), I think it ’s
important that bicycle users are
aware of the hazard that is the
bike lane on South Columbia
Street (there are other terrible
local bicycle facilities).
My paper at http://bicycling-
matters.wordpress.com/local/
bike-lane-on-so-columbia/
describes this section of road
before and after the recent bike
and bus lane changes and how
it is now worse for bicyclists and
other users.
The paradigm of separat-
ing bicycle drivers from other
traffic has unintended negative
consequences that are counter-
intuitive.
Indeed, much of bicycling is
counterintuitive. This bike lane
is an example of planning, or
lack thereof, gone wild. I suggest
that bicyclists should not use this
bike lane or follow the poorly
placed “shared-use” markings
and instead operate down the
center of one of the standard
lanes.
