Third year for Eve Carson 5K Eve Ball benefits scholarship fund

Six months from now, the last
class of students to know for-
mer Student Body President Eve
Carson will graduate.
At 10 a.m. on Nov. 6, the Eve
Carson Memorial 5K for Education
will aim to make sure her legacy
does not end on graduation day.
Cosponsored by the UNC chap-
ters of Pi Beta Phi sorority and Phi
Delta Theta fraternity, Saturday’s
race will mark the third year of the
annual Eve Carson Memorial 5K
for Education.
Junior Katherine Richey, direc-
tor of the race, said the event
is expected to draw more than
1,000 people, including runners
from California, Mississippi and
Florida.
Last year’s race broke campus
records by attracting more than
1,200 registered runners.
“It’s a way for some people to
continue to heal,” Richey said. “I
think that’s really important to the
University.”
Richey said, as of Thursday
morning, the race had already
raised more than $15,000 through
registration and sponsored fund-
raisers.

said 75 percent of the funds raised
by the race will benefit the next
class of scholars.
“The race each year provides
an avenue for people to give back,
but in a more active way,” Novinski
said.
She said the funds for the schol-
arship allow two juniors the chance
to carry on Carson’s legacy glob-
ally, but added the race has greater
value to many.
“The race doesn’t just stand for

It is as if a fly landed on his cheek.
The left eye scrunches, then the right. Three quick
shakes of the head and the entire tic is over in less
than a second.
Michael Crosa, a junior psychology and music
double major, has Tourette syndrome, a neurologi-
cal disorder characterized by involuntary, repetitive
sounds and movements.
But Crosa also has a full course load, a job as a resi-
dent adviser mentor and a passion for music.
“It’s a part of me. It’s there,” Crosa said of his Tourette’s.
“But there is a lot more to me and that’s who I am.”
Crosa developed Tourette’s at age 16 after compli-
cations developed from an indeterminate virus he
contracted at school.
“It traveled north to my brain and did some work,”
Crosa said.
One day during junior year, after Crosa had finished
lunch and returned to his algebra class at Asheville
High School, his arm shot out to the side.
“I was thinking about like, ‘Am I doing this?,’” he
said.
After school, Crosa visited the emergency room
at Mission Hospital in Asheville where doctors were
stumped as to why Crosa was having involuntary tics.
The doctors referred Crosa to Emory University
Hospital in Atlanta, but doctors there were still unable
to diagnose the problem.
It was only after five months of working with doc-
tors at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
Md., that Crosa was finally diagnosed with Tourette
syndrome.

Bowles
proposes
minimum
budget
UNC system to cut
academic spending
by ISABELLA COCHRANE
and TARINI pARTI
SENIOR WRITERS
The UNC-system Board of Governors
spelled out what a 5 and 10 percent cut
would mean for the system at its last meet-
ing of the year Thursday.
The board discussed UNC-system
President Erskine Bowles’ proposed bud-
get of $105 million in top priorities that
will be sent to the N.C. General Assembly
if it is approved today.
Asking for the bare minimum along
with inevitable additional cuts will hurt
academics at all UNC-system campuses,
Bowles said.
“We’ve done maybe too much on the
administrative side,” he said. “The next
cuts are all academic.”
Educational departments systemwide are
expected to lose millions. At East Carolina
University a 5 percent reduction would result
in a $2.7 million loss in library budgets.
And several campus classrooms would
become even tighter with course sections
reduced by the hundreds.
For example, UNC-Greensboro would
lose 910 to 1,120 course sections if budgets
are reduced by 10 percent.
Looking at the numbers, Bowles said the
fate of the universities could be in trouble
if cuts continue at high levels.
“At some point, if we keep having cuts,
cuts, cuts, we’ll have to look at eliminating
campuses,” he said.
“If this went on for several years, that
would be the smart decision — the unfor-
tunate smart decision.”
In the last three years, the system has
cut $575 million, 23 percent in expenses
and nearly 900 administrative positions.
Additional 5 percent cuts next year
would eliminate 800 jobs and a 10 percent
cut would eliminate 1,700. Most of the cuts
would impact faculty and other academic
positions.
Board members were uncertain if even
their minimal requests would be met by

Project Homeless
Connect aids needy
by Corinne White
staff writer
Rodney Brooks is struggling with post-
traumatic stress disorder, is in need of a
hip replacement and is searching for a
place to live.
On Thursday, Brooks, a veteran of
Operation Desert Storm, walked into the
Hargraves Community Center looking for
help.
Coordinators of Project Homeless
Connect, established in 2007, were there to
help alleviate the struggles of Brooks and
others like him. Social services from across
Orange County were also present to provide
health care, employment and legal advice to
people in need.
“I got a lot of help I’ve been needing for a
while,” Brooks said.
Assistant Director of the Chapel Hill
Downtown Partnership Meg McGurk said
she helped organize the event to connect
volunteers and businesses with the com-
munity.
She said the partnership is a non-profit
economic development organization that
also addresses panhandling in a proactive,
positive way.
McGurk said she organized outreach for
the program by distributing bagged toiletry
kits that included a flier about the project
and a pocket guide about services available
at the event.
“I think the most important thing is to con-
nect people to service without them having to
walk all over the county,” McGurk said.
Students from the UNC School of Nursing
donated toiletry kits and clothing, said senior
Dana Talley. They also provided health his-
tory screenings and manicures, Talley said.
Many participants were not aware of
the full scope of their health problems,
said Danielle Drobot, case manager for the
Carrboro Community Health Center.
“A lot of folks with high blood pressure
said, ‘I feel great,’ but it’s a matter of them
not understanding how severe it is,” Drobot
said. “The better they can become aware of
their medical condition, the more they know
how to seek health care.”
Drobot said some event participants
did not know they were hypertensive, and
she issued four referrals for guests to visit
other doctors.
Apart from medical care, participants also
received career services.
Twenty-one-year-old James Scharf has
been homeless for two years and went to the
event in search of job help.
“I didn’t know they had all these resources
available,” he said.
Scharf said he studied at UNC-Greensboro
for a year until he was kicked out of his
apartment.
He worked at Gumby’s Pizza and Wings in
Chapel Hill until he was laid off. Scharf cur-
rently lives with a friend and takes his meals
at the Community House men’s shelter.
He said he hopes to join the Navy in two
years, but until then he said he needs a plan.
Brooks said he didn’t find the career ser-
vices useful because of his handicap.
“They didn’t have anything for people
with disabilities,” he said.
But lifelong Chapel Hill resident Charles
Gear said he has taken advantage of the pro-
gram’s services since its first year and appre-
ciates them.
“It’s good for people like us,” he said.

ized they had the wrong one — or
that some names were missing —
that precincts realized what was
going on,” Thompson said.
Other ballots did not mark the
candidates chosen by the voter.
“Had one of the races been
really close, we probably would
have had to do this whole thing
over,” Thompson said.
Poll workers did not record voter
information so they were unable to
contact voters to recast their votes
after the mistakes were fixed, said
N.C. Rep. Carolyn Justice, R-New
Hanover.
She was one of the candidates
missing from several ballots in
New Hanover, but she still won
her race.
She is calling for an investiga-
tion by the state into the county’s
board of elections and Tuesday’s
proceedings.
“If that’s a process and deci-
sion that’s being made in the local
places here, that needs to be fixed,”
she said.
Thompson has called all those
involved in the mishap for a public

Yemen bombs’ trigger was cell phone CT imaging can
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) — because they were not authorized reduce deaths
Two package bombs shipped from
Yemen were likely designed to be
triggered by an alarm set on a cell
phone attached to a syringe filled
with chemical material to detonate
the explosives, two U.S. officials
said Thursday.
Militants are believed to have
tested the length of time it took a
package to travel from Yemen to
Chicago during a dry run ship-
ment of books and compact discs
in September, and likely set the
cell phone alarms to go off while
the cargo planes were in the air,
authorities previously said.
John Brennan, President Barack
Obama’s top counterterrorism
adviser, had said on Sunday that
the bombs were designed to be
“self-contained” and “didn’t require
somebody to go in and sort of man-
ually sort of press a syringe.”
On Thursday, two U.S. offi-
cials confirmed that a syringe in
the bomb was intended to act as
a blasting cap initiated by a cell
phone alarm. The two officials

Republicans say health
care reform is on agenda
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— Republicans on Thursday
began plotting strategy for the next
Congress by vowing to be unified
and relentless in their insistence
this year’s health care overhaul be
repealed and that most domestic
spending be frozen or cut drasti-
cally.
The GOP, which gained at
least 60 seats in the House of
Representatives and six in the
Senate in Tuesday’s election,
showed no appetite for bipartisan
cooperation.
“The mandate for change is
directed at the other guys,” said
Senate Republican leader Mitch
to disclose information about an
ongoing investigation.
When the alarm went off, elec-
trical current from the phone bat-
tery would have run through a thin
wire filament, similar to those in
light bulbs, that would have ignited
a small amount of combustible liq-
uid and detonated the bomb.
Once the bombmakers had the
parts, the time bombs would not
have been difficult to assemble, said
Dave Williams, a retired FBI bomb
expert who investigated the 1993
World Trade Center bombing.
“If you could make brownies
from a Duncan Hines box mix, you
could make this device,” Williams
said on Thursday.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials dis-
missed claims by a French min-
ister that one of the bombs was
disarmed minutes before it was set
to explode.
An official in the Yemen
Embassy in Washington said his
government also was not aware
that the bombs were set to go off
within 17 minutes.

ers said.
The results of the study
among more than 53,000 for-
mer and current heavy smokers
were so conclusive that the study
was terminated prematurely last
week and letters were sent to all
the participants advising them
of the results. The findings are
considered to be a major step
forward in fighting lung cancer,
which is expected to kill an esti-
mated 157,000 Americans this
year alone.
“This is the first clear demon-
stration that a screening proce-

Absence of Boyd leaves void
Receiver’s numbers low since LSU
By Grant Fitzgerald
Staff writer
The turbulent atmosphere sur-
rounding the North Carolina foot-
ball team has given rise to a lot
of questions. Amidst the injuries,
academic probations and agent-
related issues, one question has
gone unanswered.
What happened to Jheranie
Boyd?
Among a young and talented
receiving corps, Boyd became the
focal point of UNC’s receivers while
Greg Little was withheld from com-
petition. His performance against
Louisiana State, a 221-yard explo-
sion, brought hope to a depleted
offense and gave quarterback T.J.
Yates his best deep threat since
Brandon Tate.
In his next four games, Boyd
averaged a meager 19 receiving
yards per game. Against Virginia,
Miami and William & Mary, his
tourette’s

“When I actually found out I had
Tourette syndrome it was really
relieving,” Crosa said.
Waiting for a diagnosis wasn’t
easy for Crosa’s family.
“It was very scary,” said Melissa
Robinson, Crosa’s mother. “They
were talking about whether it was
brain tumors.”
But Crosa said he was happy
with his family’s reaction and
appreciated their support.
Because he developed Tourette’s
so late in life — Tourette syndrome
is usually diagnosed at a younger
age — Crosa said he had to find a
way to reconcile an identity he had
already developed with a disorder
that would affect his future.
“I very much felt like I was
Michael and Tourette’s was tacked
on,” Crosa said.
This difficulty manifested itself
during Crosa’s resident adviser train-
ing his sophomore year at UNC.
Each RA was asked to list 10
personal characteristics and then
cross several off at a time, leaving
each with the one characteristic that
supposedly described them best.
Crosa was left with the word
“Tourette’s.”
“It was the first time I had really
cried about it and I bawled about
it,” he said. “It was a big emotional
moment for me.”
But Crosa said that after this emo-
tional breakdown, he was able to
come to terms with his Tourette’s.
“I feel like I’ve really accepted it,”
Crosa said. “I’m Michael who hap-
pens to have Tourette’s, as opposed
to Michael plus Tourette’s.”
Now one of Crosa’s goals is to
educate himself and others about
Tourette syndrome.
People are more accepting of the
disorder when they understand it,
Crosa said. He said this makes him
less self-conscious.
“He’s very, very open about it,”

combined stat line was one catch
for -1 yards.
“I guess it would have to do
with him being injured, and other
people are stepping up and making
plays,” redshirt sophomore center
Jonathan Cooper said.
Boyd sustained a shoulder inju-
ry during the Tar Heels’ victory
against Clemson on Oct. 9 and fell
behind in subsequent weeks.
“I got injured, I missed some
practices and got sick, so I was just
limited from getting reps,” Boyd
said. “And you know, they were
cutting my reps down, wanting me
to heal.”
The powerful running of Johnny
White and the resurgence of
Dwight Jones also contributed to
Boyd fading into the background.
But Boyd’s disappearance has left a
hole in the Tar Heel offense — the
deep ball.
Both Jones and sophomore Erik

said Daniel Stellini, a first year grad-
uate student and friend of Crosa.
Learning about Tourette’s has
also helped Crosa learn to partially
control his tics.
“One of the biggest treatments
for Tourette’s is education,” he said.
“The more that you know about it,
then the more likely you are to be
comfortable and understand what’s
going on.”
Another treatment for Tourette’s
is music — something Crosa has
been passionate about since the
sixth grade.
“If someone is playing an instru-
ment, they won’t have a tic or they
will have a lot less tics,” Crosa said.
Crosa is a percussionist in his
music classes, but his favorite
instrument to play is guitar, he
said. Growing up, he played the
guitar with his father.
This past summer, Crosa worked
at Camp Twitch and Shout, a
camp for children with Tourette
syndrome, where he was a music
instructor. He led drum circles and
other music-related activities for

Highsmith have done their best to
fill in for his absence. Jones’ 81-
yard touchdown reception against
Virginia gave hope to the deep
game, but that reception began as
an underneath crossing route.
The truth is, Boyd has irreplace-
able speed.
“Oh yeah, he’s always a great deep
threat,” Highsmith said. “He’s fast
and can get behind the safeties.”
Now healthy, Boyd won’t be
counted on as a go-to receiver.
Jones and White will attract much
of the defense’s attention, allowing
more space for other receivers
“At the beginning of the year,
after LSU and ECU, a lot of teams
were almost double-covering, put-
ting a safety over the top,” Boyd
said. “And with Dwight having
big games they are probably going
to do it to him, but they still have
to watch out for me and Josh
Adams.”
In recent games, the end-around
run to Boyd has also been missing
from UNC’s play calling. Part of

“I discovered music therapy and
that’s something that I want to go
into,” he said.
Crosa sees his Tourette’s as a
building block, not an impediment,
he said.
“I feel like I’ve used Tourette’s to
improve myself and improve my life
goal and life direction,” Crosa said.
People around Crosa notice his
positive attitude regarding Tourette
syndrome.
“I have honestly never seen him
get frustrated about it,” said Jillian
Dahl, a sophomore psychology
major who became friends with
Crosa her freshman year.
Robinson said she is proud of all
that Crosa has accomplished and
his plans for the future.
“He had the option of with-
drawing from school and he didn’t
choose to do that,” she said.
“I just think it’s really amazing
the way that he handled it.”

that, Cooper believes, has to do
with the offense’s ability to run
from the tailback position.
“I feel like we’ve been able to run
the ball a little more regularly, and
last year end-arounds were some-
thing just to get us going — to jump
start the run game,” Cooper said.
Boyd said some of it has to do
with opposing defenses using line-
backers and lineman to spy on him.
But it gives Boyd a chance to get the
ball in his hands and make a play.
After a couple of weeks off, UNC
is going to need him to make plays
against Florida State, which ranks
43rd nationally in pass defense.
“I expect it to be a physical
game, they got some big lineback-
ers,” Boyd said. “(FSU linebacker)

ECU considers gazebos ACORN files for bankruptcy

to enforce smoking ban takes its place
Action N.C.
Violations often
di∞cult to prove
by Kristen mcavoy
staff writer
East Carolina University’s
Student Government is consider-
ing a proposal to decrease student
smoking violations on campus.
At a recent meeting, students
proposed building gazebos on the
university’s campus in an effort to
encourage students to smoke in
designated areas only.
“We do have a smoking ban on
campus, and it is largely not abided
by and a lot of times it is not abided
by especially when it rains,” said
Tremayne Smith, the student body
president at ECU.
The school’s current policy pro-
hibits individuals from smoking
within 25 feet of university build-
ings.
“No one wants to stand out in
the rain and smoke a cigarette,”
Tremayne said.
It is unrealistic to expect students
to smoke in the rain; so, the gazebos
are a solution to enforce our cam-
puses’ smoking ban, he said.
While the proposal has not yet
been presented to administrators,
many student leaders said they
hope it will be implemented.
Similarly, UNC officials are hav-
ing trouble enforcing a smoking
ban.
A ban was implemented at UNC
in 2008 which prohibits smoking
within 100 feet of any University
building. On rainy days, students
who wish to smoke are out of luck
unless they choose to stand in the
rain or violate the ban.
Allen O’Barr, the director of
counseling and wellness services
at UNC, said it was a good idea
to provide shelter for people who
choose to smoke.
While many are in support of
making a shelter for smokers on
campus, neither UNC nor ECU has
ever issued a smoking citation.
“No student has ever been
ticketed for smoking too close to
a building,” Doug Boyd, spokes-
man for ECU, said.
Randy Young, spokesman for
the Department of Public Safety,
“The operation ceased to exist in
early 2010,” he said. “Promoting mass

Presentations ranged from a

Thursday evening during an expo
of recent research out of UNC.

Technology Development, the
Carolina Seeds of Innovation show-
case aimed to provide researchers
with business and networking
opportunities.
“It’s important to get the tech-
nology to the public’s hands,” said
attendee Harvey Krasmy.
The night featured five present-
ers, each of whom gave a short
lecture on the marketability and
details of their respective studies.
Suzanne Minton, one of the
presenters, said opportunities for
research at the University are great,
but that researchers also have to
look outside the campus.
“We love UNC, but we need to
grow new businesses,” she said.
Minton presented a non-hor-
monal male birth control pill which
could be made available within the
next decade.

ception is going to be a really hot
new product.”
Other presentations included
research that could lead to more
accurate drug testing, more effi-
cient energy collection and storage
in solar panels, improved methods
of creating hydrogen fuel, and
nanocapsules for the application
of medicine for cancer patients.
“The seminar is aimed at fos-
tering that culture of innovation
and helping faculty, students and
staff,” said Peter Liao, project man-
ager in the Office of Technology
Development.
“We like to show examples of
how innovation is managed and
how things are commercialized.”
After the seminar, attendees and
presenters gathered at the Top of
the Hill for a networking session.
One of the goals of the semi-
nar was to promote collaboration
between people of different fields.
Keith Karczewski, a self-
employed consultant, said he
thinks the collaboration of students
and professionals is important for
funding as well as marketability.
“It’s a good way to stop programs
that are either not going to be
defensible from a legal perspective
or aren’t going to have a commer-
cial application,” he said.

“I think it’s a great way to bring
the community in early on so that a
lot of the effort doesn’t get wasted.”
Chancellor Holden Thorp has
pushed for the University to pri-
oritize the creation of innovative,
entrepreneurial projects on cam-
pus. Thorp initiated the Innovate@
Carolina program this year to help
researchers see beyond the purely
academic value of their work.
“The seminar pushes the fore-
front both of medicine and tech-
nology while recognizing that you
need to focus on the commercial
application,” said attendee Timm
Crowder.
“It supports the economic mission
of the University.”

County discusses issuing
$9.9 million in bonds
Commissioners
delay decision
by Jessica Gaylord
City writer
Orange County officials had
hoped voters would approve a sales
tax increase. But after its failure, the
Board of County Commissioners is
reaching for other funding — and
may issue bonds.
Clarence Grier, financial services
director for the county, presented
an option Thursday night to issue
up to $9.9 million in construction
bonds for structural improvements
in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City and
Orange County schools, though
commissioners made no decision.
The county expects that BB&T
will purchase the tax credit bonds
with a 1 to 0 percent interest rate.
The bonds must be issued by Dec.
31 to qualify for schools funding.
“It’s a financially sensible thing
to do,” commissioner Alice Gordon
said. “With such a low interest rate,
it makes a lot of sense.”

“We’ll probably play some music,

music. Our kids have gotten used to
that over the last couple of years.
“As a matter of fact, some of

Crazy
crowds
change to
crazy cops
A
line of heavily armed men
on motorcycles simultane-
ously rev up their engines
preparing to push civilians out of
their way. The intimidation factor
is heightened by their impenetra-
ble helmets and black uniforms.
Behind this tightly packed line of
motorcycles marches armed men
followed by a huge empty bus, a
fleet of patrol cars, and several
enormous public works vehicles.
Without knowing the context,
it could easily be assumed that this
is taking place in the aftermath of
a violent military coup where mar-
tial law has been enacted and the
military is expected to use brute
force to maintain civility.
It is not surprising that as steam
began coming out of the public
works trucks, many dazed — or
intoxicated — onlookers presumed
that they were being gassed and
fled the vicinity. Who could blame
them? The number of officers on
Franklin Street on Sunday night
was overwhelming and verged on
ridiculous.
Even Granville Towers, a
renowned safe-haven for party-
ing freshmen, tightened its grip.
All 1,000 residents had letters
taped to their doors that listed
consequences for everything from
parking violations to alcohol
infractions. Management went
so far as to require residents and
their two guests — yes, two was
the limit — to wear wristbands
and carry photo identification,
without which residents were not
let into their own building.
And, to top it all off, they autho-
rized uniformed and undercover
law enforcement personnel to
make rounds throughout the prop-
erty to issue citations for open con-
tainers and underage drinking.
Sure, safety is important.
But I couldn’t help but feel that
the efforts of law enforcement
and Granville Towers alike
were no longer strictly about
safety; instead, their over-the-top
measures served only to need-
lessly tame conduct and deplete
Franklin Street of any college fun
that was to be had.
After all, how much crowd
control is really necessary if,
according to police spokesperson
Lt. Kevin Gunter, only a hand-
ful of people’s behavior—out of
35,000 participants—was out of
line enough to deserve a citation?
Of course, Halloween was
entertaining regardless. But the
fun seemed a bit discounted,
given the multitude of junior and
senior student’s complaints about
the increase in cop-to-student
ratio. What did the Class of 2014
miss out on?
The extreme policing made me
and the rest of the Halloween-
on-Franklin virgins miss out on
the wild event that marks the
halfway point in the first semes-
ter of our fully fledged adult lives.
The town of Chapel Hill,
Granville Towers, and other enti-
ties should seriously consider
reviewing their methods of crowd
control — their “Homegrown
Halloween.” If officials step away
from crowd reduction goals
for and look objectively at the
image painted by the army they
deployed to clear Franklin Street,
they would see what all of us saw.
They would see the absurdity of
such severe patrolling of a college
event. Hopefully, sometime in
the next year, they will make this
realization.
If not, tune in next year as town
officials invite the full force of the
American military to Franklin
Street and the Class of 2015
realizes that fun Franklin Street
Halloweens are a thing of the past.

Deanna does districts
Redistricting bill introduced by Speaker Santoro
is a start to achieving needed reform
S
tudent Congress is tasked
with reevaluating con-
gressional districts. The
latest effort — spearheaded by
Speaker Deanna Santoro — is
a good start.
The rules and judiciary com-
mittee threw around plenty of
ideas, like electing representa-
tives by year or major, but ulti-
mately settled on keeping and
refining the current geographic
district plan.
The changes include assign-
ing a seat reserved specifically
for a freshman student and
strategically shifting some dis-
tricts around.
Reserving a seat for a fresh-
man is a good idea. Student
Congress general elections
happen in the spring, so fresh-
men can’t really participate in
Student Congress at all unless
there is a special election in
the fall. This reserved seat

Current precinct lines are confusing and inconvenient

S

Morehead Planetarium and
Science Center an Election Day
voting site.
On Tuesday, an estimated
400 students showed up to
vote at Morehead Planetarium
to cast their votes, only to be
redirected to their assigned vot-
ing sites. Many more students
likely did not vote because they
were confused about which site
they were supposed to vote at.
Morehead Planetarium was
used as an early voting site for
this year’s midterm elections.
So, it would have been a prime

Broken promises
University wrongly uses contour mining
T
he University should
never promise stu-
dents one thing and do
another. This includes using
loopholes to get around a
problem.
Last May the University
stated they would avoid pur-
chasing coal obtained through
surface mining. This came
after an Energy Task Force
recommended this policy to
the school.
But UNC recently signed
contracts for three years worth
of coal obtained by using con-
tour mining.
Stuar t Boss, president
of UNC ’s Sierra Student
Coalition, stated there is little
difference between mountain-

method of mining, and con-

will increase the diversity of
Student Congress by adding a
freshman voice.
The other change, shift-
ing the composition of dis-
tricts, might not seem like a
big deal but we think it will
decrease the need for special
elections.
Santoro says districts that
include dorms that are mostly
freshmen are less competi-
tive than other districts. This
is mostly because the pool of
students that are eligible to
run during election season is
smaller.
Few freshmen want to com-
mit to living in freshman dorms
as sophomores, so there usually
are not very many candidates.
This makes elections less com-
petitive, and sometimes seats
are not filled at all.
Adding Granville towers to
the North Campus district and
buildings.
Tracy Reams, director of
the Orange County Board of
Elections, said there are five
election day voting sites for
students who live on campus.
According to Reams, add-
ing Morehead Planetarium as
a voting site would be a diffi-
cult task. She said the Orange
County Board of Elections
must first request the change
to the State Board of Elections
and then the N.C. General
Assembly. Also, other pre-
cinct lines would have to be
redrawn.
Understandably, there is a
lot of red tape. But college-age
people are one of the toughest
demographics to get to the polls.
Students would be encouraged
tour mining. We are inclined
to agree.
Contour mining, while not
quite as destructive as moun-
taintop removal, is still within
the category of surface min-
ing. Therefore, the University
is using a loophole in ordering
coal.
The University says that con-
tour mining is better because
the soil can be replaced —
unlike with mountaintop
removal. But there is evidence
that restoring the surface to
its previous condition is much
easier said than done.
But whether you agree with
surface mining or not, another
issue here is the fact that our
school should not be breaking
the spirit of its agreement: to not
support mining practices which

combining the South Campus
and Ram Village districts
should alleviate this problem.
We think this redistricting
plan is a good one, but it is not
a panacea to student govern-
ment’s election problems.
It does nothing to address
the often vacant graduate stu-
dent seats that can contribute
to problems achieving quo-
rum. Student Congress can-
not change anything about
the graduate student seats
without the approval of the
Graduate and Professional
Student Federation, and they
have not been able to reach a
compromise yet.
But the current bill is a
solid start. The redistricting
bill has survived the rules and
judiciary and will move on
to full congress soon. When
it does, we recommend that
they pass it.
to vote more if the precincts
were changed to make voting
more convenient for every-
one. After all, there are 18,000
undergraduates.
Reams said there is not
much that can be done right
now, since precinct lines are
frozen because of redistricting.
But the Orange County Board
of Elections should keep this
issue in mind and consider stu-
dent voters in future precinct
redrawing.
At the very least, the Orange
County Board of Elections
should better educate students
on where the voting sites are
for each precinct.
Such confusion on Election
Day inhibits people from cast-
ing their votes.
damage the earth’s surface.
If it is not feasible to pur-
chase coal from deep-mining
companies due to the increase
in price, then the University
should make students aware
of the situation and focus on
working toward ways to make
the change feasible — not make
false promises.
Rejecting the recommenda-
tions by the Energy Task Force
and buying the surface-mined
coal would have been prefer-
able to the University’s duplic-
ity. Instead, the University has
insulted its students.
UNC should stick to the
commitments it makes. If it is
unable to fulfill a commitment,
it should work with the stu-
dents to reach that goal, rather
than make empty promises.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
We should find comedy in
life without kvetching
TO THE EDITOR:
Occasionally, a letter to the
editor is published kvetching
about kvetches.
While it is true that some-
times the kvetches are offensive
and also true that they often
make us laugh, the issue that
I would emphasize is the fact
that we are kvetching to begin
with.
Perhaps with Thanksgiving
approaching, we might consider
being grateful for the experiences
we have on campus.
Perhaps the Daily Tar Heel
Editorial Board might publish a
board of quips that say “Thank
you” instead of complain.
These quips could follow a
similar tone and format; it is
possible to find comedy in daily
encounters without adopting
that tone of annoyance, criti-
cism, and dissatisfaction.
We can say thank you for
the life we have been given
by appreciating the ridiculous
moments on campus. Not only
can we say thank you, but we
should.
We attend a top university in
one of the richest countries in
the world.
We are receiving an education
and living a lifestyle many people
in the world cannot even imag-
ine having. We are better off and
luckier than we often acknowl-
edge.
Every Friday, kvetches serve
to give us comic relief from a
stressed-out-college-student
daily life.
A little bit of gratitude can
also give us relief, place our life
in perspective, and remind us
that we have so much to enjoy.
Let’s consider publishing lines
that not only make us laugh but
also show we value the people,
places and instances we meet
here.

Registration times aren’t
fair for some students
TO THE EDITOR:
The UNC registration needs
to be re-structured.
The randomization of regis-
tration times makes it so that
some students simply cannot get
into classes that they need.
Although the randomiza-
tion makes it so that a student
is equally likely to have an early
registration as a late one, many
students (myself included) have
been issued late registration
times two or three semesters in
a row.
This makes it so that we are
unable to get classes we desper-
ately need time and time again.
I, for example, was unable to get
into News Writing (JOMC 153)
last semester due to my 1 p.m.
registration time. This semes-
ter, my registration time is 1 p.m.
again.
If a student receives a late
registration time one semester,
I believe he/she should only be
able to receive a relatively early
one the following semester (and
vice versa for those who have an
early registration time to begin
with).
