The Daily Tar Heel For Oct. 30, 2013

By Kathryn Trogdon
Staff Writer
While many UNC-system students
graduate searching for a dream job,
some are eventually forced to consider
how they ll pay tomorrows water bill.
Average starting salaries vary across
the state and depend on the type of
degree. But despite increasing state
emphasis on technical skills rather
than liberal arts, many students from
both types of backgrounds said they
have struggled finding the ideal job.
The average starting salary of under-
graduates was $42,784 at UNC-CH,
$46,521 at N.C. State University and
$40,084 at UNC-Charlotte for the class
of 2011, according to surveys conducted
by each university.
Ray Angle, director of UNC-CHs
University Career Services, said he was
not surprised by the results.
He said for many students, the top
concern is not money, it is what they
can contribute to society.
Angle said many UNC-CH gradu-
ates go into social justice-related posi-
tions, including one-eighth of both of
the past two graduating classes that
applied for Teach for America.
According to a 2013 survey by the
National Association of Colleges and
Employers, the No. 1 value graduates
look for in a job is the opportunity for
personal growth, while job security is
third, good benefits is fourth and a high
starting salary is 12th.
More N.C. State graduates have sci-
ence-, technology-, engineering- and
math-related degrees while the major-
ity of UNC-CH students go into non-
STEM-related jobs, Angle said.
N.C. State is historically an engi-
neering school, and their starting sala-
ries tend to start out higher, Angle said.
They also tend to stay fairly stable.
On the other hand, liberal arts
degrees are not always tied to specific
career fields so earning potential goes
up as graduates move on to other types
of jobs and fields, he said.
But many students still struggle to
find jobs with their liberal arts degrees.
Charlene Hicks, who graduated
from UNC-CH in 2012 with an English
degree, now works as an insurance rep-
resentative at State Farm in Raleigh.
While Hicks had other aspirations
and job opportunities, salary was the
Members of the class of
2011 averaged $42,784 in
their first job salaries.

While remaining among the top in
capturing research funding, UNC lags
behind its peer universities in convert-
ing research to patents and other com-
mercial applications.
UNC Board of Trustees member
Phillip Clay said UNC ranks high
among public research universities with
respect to volume of research.
But there is a much lower number of
patents, which Clay said is an indicator
of the researchs impact.
Clay is the chairman of the
Innovation and Impact Committee,
which was created this year by the trust-
ees to examine ways research can ben-
efit the University financially.
The University has a large volume
of research, Clay said in an interview.
The charge to the committee is to
look at ways to get greater impact, to
generate patents and copyrights, which
bring funds to the University and create
opportunities.
At the Sept. 25 board meeting,
Joseph DeSimone, director of the
Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise,
pointed out that UNCs license income
is only $1.5 million, compared to an
average among top universities of $35
million.
Were ninth in federal funding, but
lowest in ratio of converting federal dol-
lars to patents, he said, adding that the
issue has been ongoing in the last few
years.
Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost
Jim Dean said despite the success UNC
has had in bringing in research dollars,
improvement remains to be made in
terms of commercialization.
I do believe that our commercializa-
tion efforts commercialization means
taking research and turning it into a
business, effectively, and patents are one
part of that we can do better in that
area, he said, adding that committees
created by former Chancellor Holden
Thorp are studying the issue and will
report their findings soon.
Dean emphasized that the value of
research cannot be determined solely by
patents.
Lets say youre in the School of
Pharmacy and you develop some new
compound that is going to be successful
in a drug you might get a patent for
that, he said.
But lets say youre in the School of
Public Health and youre discovering
some new program thats going to help
mothers feed their children better. Its
much less likely that a patent is going
to come out of that, but that does not
mean in any way its less valuable.
Dean pointed out that the frequency
with which University research dollars
are converted into patents depends on
the areas of research.
If you take a place like (the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
which ... is at the top of the list in terms
of patents for research dollar, I dont
believe that they have, for example, a
school of public health, Dean said. So
theyre not going to have a huge amount
of research dollars that are less likely to
lead to patents.
At Chancellor Carol Folts installation
ceremony earlier this month, Gov. Pat
McCrory said in a speech that UNC must
strive to produce job-ready graduates.
Ultimately, research, regardless of
its classification, serves us best when it
improves the lives of people and solves
real-world problems, he said.
Disseminating this knowledge
and creating more patents, which
weve talked about will create more
jobs and entrepreneurs in this state.

UNC community voices opposition to Pope report
By Lauren Kent
Staff Writer
After a local think tank criticized
UNCs approach to undergraduate
education, many faculty and stu-
dents have maintained strong sup-
port for diverse general education
requirements with strong roots in
liberal arts.
The John William Pope Center
for Higher Education Policy, a
right-leaning nonprofit based in
Raleigh, issued a report last Friday
offering suggestions to improve
the Universitys general education
requirements, which the authors of
the report called incoherent.
Weve always been interested
in academic quality and rigor,
said Jenna Ashley Robinson, who
co-authored the report with Jay
Schalin. Many of the courses (at
UNC) look really interesting, but
they dont necessarily fulfill some-
thing that is foundational.
The reports suggestions include
narrowing the number of classes
that can fulfill general education
requirements from more than 4,700
to 717 courses, eliminating classes
that fulfill multiple requirements
and reducing foreign language study
from three semesters to two.
The report states that classes
teaching one slice of life should be
eliminated. The authors argue that
classes with narrow focuses indulge
professors with specific research
interests and do not provide essen-
tial knowledge for students profes-
sional futures.
The Pope Center instead advo-
cates for a general education cur-
riculum that provides a broader base
of knowledge rather than depth in a
few sporadic areas, Robinson said.
But University administrators
said they have no plans to heed the
Pope Centers recommendations.
The current general education
system is the product of input from
hundreds of alumni and other experts
who serve on the Universitys advisory
board, said Executive Vice Chancellor
and Provost Jim Dean in an email.
One suggestion that struck a chord
with Dean, former dean of Kenan-
Flagler Business School, was the
reduction of foreign language study.
I think that reducing foreign lan-
guage requirements would clearly be a
move in the wrong direction, he said.
You would find very little support
for such a proposal in the business
community, where there is increasing
demand for multilingual talent.
Bobbi Owen, senior associate
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences, said its important for stu-
dents to have exposure to different
perspectives.
In a world thats changing just
as quickly as our world is changing,
getting more complex all the time,
getting more global all the time I
think its really important for us to
have this kind of education available
to our undergraduate students who
are so successful when they leave the
University, she said.
Randall Styers, chairman of the
religious studies department, said
he thought the Pope Center didnt
understand what makes for an intel-
lectual community.
I just found the whole tone of the
report to be really rigid and narrow-
minded, he said. Its asking for
regimentation.
Styers said he agrees with the
authors goal of giving students a
broad education, but he disagrees
with the cookie-cutter manner in
which they are trying to accomplish
that mission. He said broader intro-
ductory classes require professors to
cover a lot of material superficially,
restraining the potential of the intel-
lectual community at the University.
Styers also said he disagreed with
the reports claim that students are

When Zach Ferguson heard about
the fraudulent classes at UNC, it did not
take him long to realize that he had been
enrolled in one before he graduated in 2007.
Ferguson now enrolled in the UNC
School of Law said he contacted the
University about the course to see if he
could receive tuition credit to take a class for
his current degree.
When he initially contacted UNC admin-
istrators, the University did not offer any-
thing to compensate for the class.
UNC decided to offer some free courses
for students who took a certain type of
fraudulent courses after facing an audit
from its accrediting body, the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools
Commission on Colleges, last summer.
Fergusons class along with sev-
eral other courses in the newly renamed
Department of African, African American
and Diaspora Studies was determined to
be fraudulent in an investigation conducted
by former Gov. Jim Martin last year.
Ferguson said he had taken several class-
es in the department and said they were
some of the best he had ever taken.
But he said the class he took with Julius
Nyangoro was different. It had one assign-
ment for the semester, and Ferguson said
Nyangoro told the class that unless they had
problems, there was no reason to attend class.
Even when Ferguson contacted
Nyangoro for guidance, he said he only
received brief answers in return.
I got the impression that he didnt really
want to be bothered by me a lot, he said.
Assistant Provost and University Registrar
Chris Derickson responded to Fergusons
request with a letter stating his degree was
safe because he had enough credit hours.
His course was also classified as Type 2,
which UNC does not offer the option of retak-
ing for credit. The courses are defined as
ones in which the identity of the instruc-
tor was not confirmed or the instructor of
the course could not confirm whether the
course section was taught, along with other
characteristics that could have provided evi-
dence of potential misconduct.
Lee May, associate dean and director of
the academic advising program, said stu-
dents who took Type 1 classes were contact-
ed with the option of retaking the course.
According to Martins report, Type 1 cours-
es are classified as classes that the instructor
or department chairman said had not been
taught. Remedy options included taking a
free, supplemental class, taking an exam or
providing evidence to prove they did the class-
work.

Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton wears a lot of
fedoras and hes hard to get in touch with but
his friends still say hes done a great job as mayor.
Friends and colleagues of the outgoing mayor
aimed jokes at his reputation at a roast and fund-
raiser hosted by EmPOWERment, Inc.
The roast served the dual purpose of bid-
ding goodbye to Chilton, who will not run
for reelection this fall, and raising funds for
EmPOWERment, said Celisa Steele, president of
the board of directors.
EmPOWERment is a nonprofit that works to
improve access to affordable housing throughout
Orange and Chatham counties. Chilton has been
involved with the organization for 10 years.
Ruby Sinreich, the editor and founder of Orange
Politics, compared the disparity between Mayor
Chiltons passion for Carrboro and propensity for
leaving phone calls and emails unanswered.
The one thing Mark seems to not be very pas-
sionate about is checking his voice mail, Sinreich
said. I often think I would have better luck
reaching him by carrier pigeon.
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt said
Chilton is very active on Facebook.
I get more alerts from Mark Chilton on
Facebook than Candy Crush notifications, he said.
The relationship between Kleinschmidts and
Chiltons towns also came under fire at the roast.
I want to congratulate you on completing your
terms of office, governing the West Chapel Hill
Homeowners Association, Kleinschmidt said in
jest.
But he said he looked up to Chilton as an old
friend and a mentor.
Mark is one of the people Ive had the for-
tune to look up to and seek guidance from,
Kleinschmidt said. I am really looking forward
to the contributions he will make in the next
steps of his life.
Carrboro resident Chris Marthinson said hes
been friends with the mayor for a long time.
He was arrested in June, he said. Finally.
Chilton was arrested and charged with second-
degree trespass, failure to disperse and violation
of building rules in June after he joined the Moral
Monday protests at the N.C. General Assembly.
Chilton said he appreciated the attention,
even if it meant he was on the receiving end of
some jokes, and encouraged attendees to support
EmPOWERment.
Ive got to say, it really is an honor to be here
tonight and to be the focus of attention even if its
negative to some degree, Chilton said. My first
inauguration was 22 years ago. Ive been being
cussed out since then, so I reckon I can take it.
Chilton said he knows he will miss spending
Tuesday nights with the Board of Aldermen.
Ive really enjoyed refereeing your petty
squabbles, he said.

ASG referendum to appear on Nov. 8 ballot
By Lindsay Carbonell
Staff Writer
Members of UNC Student Congress passed
a resolution Tuesday night allowing students
to vote next month on whether the University
should stay in the UNC-system Association of
Student Governments.
ASG is an organization composed of student
delegates from all 17 UNC-system schools and
meets monthly to discuss student advocacy ini-
tiatives. It is funded by an annual $1 student fee.
The resolution was passed by Student
Congress with a 16 to 1 vote with three absten-
tions. The student referendum will be on the
Nov. 8 ballot, which also will have the homecom-
ing runoff elections for Mr. and Miss UNC.
ASG President Robert Nunnery was unable
to attend the vote and could not be reached for
comment afterwards.
The student body president election in 2012
marked the last time students were able to vote
on UNCs place in the association, and they
voted to remain in ASG by a 57.4 percent to 40.8
percent vote, according to the unofficial results.
Connor Brady, speaker of UNC Congress,
decided to introduce the resolution to
Congress members after several unfruitful
association meetings.
UNCs position in ASG will ultimately be
decided by the system Board of Governors, but
the resolution, if passed by the student body,
will give delegates leverage when they go to
talk to the board.
At the end of the day, thats what makes
this organization work students voicing
their opinion, Brady said.
UNC students will continue to pay the $1
student fee at least until July 2014, regardless
of the boards decision.
Some UNC delegates were worried more
about the timing of the resolution even though
they agree the referendum should be introduced.
Representative Austin Root told other
members that he is particularly concerned
about voter turnout because people tend to
vote more in student body president elections.
The timing weakens (the referendum) it
should be a spring question, not a fall ques-
tion, he said.
Speaker Pro Tempore of Student Congress
John Guzek said while getting students to vote
is important, Congress must continue discuss-
ing the ASG issue to not lose momentum.
I think its crucial for us to have as large of
a student voice as possible, Guzek said at the
meeting. But the impact were trying to have
is to start a discussion.
Member John OConnor agreed.
I think by having this vote by having this
in the DTH it will get a lot of students talk-
ing about it and let them know whats going
on, he said at the meeting.
Advocacy for the referendum will begin as
soon as Student Congress gets a referendum
contact who will serve as the campaign man-
ager for the referendum from the Board of
Elections Committee, Brady said.
None of the money spent on referendum
advocacy will come from student fees, he said.
While Brady said that his advocacy would
be geared toward getting students to vote
yes to leaving ASG, Student Body President
Christy Lambden said he will not take a public
stance on the issue.
I dont think its my job to modify the stu-
dent opinion, Lambden said.
But Student Congress members agreed that
student opinion is important for moving for-
ward on the ASG issue.
Regardless of how you feel, go out and
vote, Brady said.

When the members of Sigma Phi
Epsilon visit their faculty advisor Sterling
Hennis at his home, he says theyre amazed
at his collection of 1,400 pop-up books.
Hennis, a retired UNC education profes-
sor and a movable books collector, said his
interest in pop-up books sprung from a
visit to a bookstore in the 70s.
His collection started when he found the
pop-up book called Dinner Time, and he
picked it up.
I was fascinated by the animation I
had never seen one quite like that, I had
seen pop-ups growing up, but I hadnt
seen one quite that ornate, he said. So I
bought it. I took it home, and I liked it, and
I bought another one. And then I bought
another one, and then I bought another
one, and now I have 1,400.
Hennis spoke at the Books that Pop
event at the School of Information and
Library Science Library, a program full of
modern pop-up books with stories that
flew off the page literally.
Pop-up books have three dimensional
illustrations that pop off the page when the
book is open.
Hennis said the imagination and the
creativity of the paper engineers are what
excited him most about pop-up books,
which he calls amazing works of art. He
said he now has a special room dedicated
to his pop-ups.
Rebecca Vargha, the head librarian at the
SILS library, said she hoped to let people
know what type of collection the library has
at the event through a display of its collection
as well as through talks by local collectors.
She also said although the library has
one of the first pop-up books ever pub-
lished in the United States, which was pub-
lished around 1886, the collection focuses
mainly on modern pop-up books with con-
temporary titles.
She said she hoped people would come
look at the artistry and the amazing con-
struction of the different materials the
paper engineers made use of.
They show action, Vargha said. They
just capture your imagination.
She said unlike flat books, which are
usually mass-produced, a single pop-up
book could be worked on by more than 60
people.
Theres a lot of handiwork involved in
completing one book, she said. Thats a
really interesting thing to look at.
UNC associate professor Brian Sturm
said a pop-up book that doesnt work is one
of the most disappointing experiences of a
reading career.
Sturm, who teaches childrens literature
and even a class focused on pop-up books,
said the books have value because they do
things that static books simply cant they
move.
When you say, The lion ran across
the prairie, in a regular book, you might
see the lion in a drawn picture with lines
behind it or some blurring effects. But in
the pop-up, you can actually have the lion
run across the page, he said. Pop-ups are
doing verbs, where books in general arent.
He said the primary value of pop-up
books comes in terms of engagement.
When you look at a flat page, a two-
dimensional page, you can get interested
in it and dissect it, but when you look
at a three-dimensional object, its much
more engaging because you can see it
from all angles, he said. You get the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, and when you open
the page, it comes jaws open at you and the
jaws close as they approach you.

FRAUDULENT COURSE OPTIONS
UNC faces an audit from the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools
Commission on Colleges:
Students who took fraudulent courses
that fall under the Type 1 category have
the opportunity to re-take the class
Students also have the option of provid-
ing prior coursework or taking a test
Dericksons letter to Ferguson said Type
1 courses were of greatest concern for UNC
and the accrediting agency.
May said in an email she directs students
who took non-Type 1 classes to Derickson.
Ferguson said it was never about the grades
he wanted the education he was promised.
My problem was UNC did not do their
half of the agreement. The agreement was
I would pay them tuition money and they
would give me an education, he said.
Ferguson used the skills he learned from
law school to fight for some kind of compen-
sation. Eventually, he was allowed to take a
free supplemental class under the same con-
ditions as those who took a Type 1 course.
Ferguson said his conflict with UNC will
benefit the campus in the long run.
I think it makes our University stronger
to shine a light on these things.

Alumni art displayed in historic home

Recent UNC graduate Greg Halloran stands with one of his photography pieces on display at the Horace Williams House.
By Melissa Bendixen
Staff Writer
From now until Nov. 24,
the Horace Williams House
will be displaying the unique
photograms and experimental
photography of recent UNC
graduates Jenny Burton and
Greg Halloran.
Hallorans work captures the
movement of water in black
and white ripples. Burtons
work uses soft and saturated
colors to suggest vibrations and
ambiguous objects.
Tama Hochbaum, art
committee co-chairwoman
of Preservation Chapel Hill,
said the work of both artists is
more radical than work from
past exhibits shown at the
Horace Williams House.
Its a fascinating thing that
the exhibit is in a historical
home but the images are abso-
lutely new and they blend very
well, Hochbaum said.
Hochbaum also said
Burton and Halloran are
the first recent alumni to be
featured in the house. She
said the preservation society,
which selects the artists to
be exhibited in the house, is
beginning to establish a rela-
tionship with the Universitys
art department.
When Burton and Halloran
were in elin oHara slavicks
conceptual photography
class, Hochbaum, a friend of
slavicks, invited the class to her
home to view her own work.
So there was this won-
derful situation where these
two were at my house, and I
was in fact, at that moment,
making a flier to ask for
applications to the program,
Hochbaum said. So I encour-
aged them all to apply.
Burton and Halloran
decided to send in their work
as one submission on slavicks
suggestion, and the commit-
tee immediately liked their
work, Hochbaum said.
(Their work) is powerful
and beautiful and very paint-
erly, Hochbaum said. The
artists seem beyond their age,
they seem advanced, like some-
one who is in their 30s or 40s.
The images are wise, almost.
Burton and Halloran both
began their work for the
exhibit in the photography
class, where both artists tested
the boundaries of darkroom
photography and photograms.
Traditionally, photograms
are made without a camera
by placing objects on light-
sensitive paper and exposing
the paper to varying intensi-
ties of light. This will create
silhouettes and outlines of the
objects placed on the paper.
Burton said she wouldnt
have pushed herself so far in
making her photograms if she
had not had slavick.
Doing the first project, I
was happy with it, and she
encouraged me to keep going
in experimenting with new
things and kind of doing my
own thing, whereas in most
classes its kind of like you
are trying to do something
to please a professor, Burton
said. But she gave us the
freedom to do what pleased
us, and then the result of that
pleased her.
Halloran said the exhibi-
tion is a clash of different
moods because of his and
Burtons different approaches
to creating photograms.
I was focusing on creating
some chaos, and thats why I
layered so many things on top
of each other, Halloran said.
And then I look at Jennys
pieces and I think of them as
color harmonies, and it calms
me down a whole, whole
bunch.
Burton said people will be
able to see something new in
their photograms if they come
to the exhibit.
Theres something here
that you havent seen before,
Burton said.
And I think thats the key.
News leader talks industry
in Women in Media series
By Carolyn Coons
Staff Writer
One of the countrys lead-
ers in print media said the
newspaper industry isnt dead
yet.
There is a lot of life left in
print, said Mary Junck in a
speech Tuesday. Certainly its
going to last for my lifetime.
Beyond that, Im not so sure.
Junck, the CEO of the news
organization Lee Enterprises
and chairwoman of the
Associated Press Board of
Directors, spoke to students
in Carroll Hall Auditorium
as part of the School of
Journalism and Mass
Communications Women in
Media Leadership Series.
She said its an exciting
time in the journalism indus-
try, not a scary one.
Like many other indus-
tries we are undergoing a lot
of change, and its really a fun
place to be, she said.
Junck graduated from
UNCs graduate school of
journalism in 1971 and then
went to work at The Charlotte
Observer, where she did
research. She said she origi-
nally wanted to be a newspaper
publisher, but at that time
there was only one female pub-

speaks to students in Carroll Hall Auditorium Tuesday night.
lisher in the entire country.
She said she was able to
move up the ranks by apply-
ing for positions even those
she knew she might not get.
I think one of the big-
gest obstacles is sometimes
women dont see themselves
in the next job up or two jobs
up, Junck said.
She told female students to
raise their hand for every job
opening they can.
Seeing how much (Junck)
was able to accomplish, I
dont fear being discriminated
against, said sophomore
Sarah Love.
Junck said women have
come a long way since she
began, but she said minori-
ties are still underrepresented
in all areas of the journalism
industry.
Its good business practice
to have diverse voices in your
newsroom and sitting around
your boardroom because thats
how our audience is, she said.
Junck said Lee Enterprises
has taken strides to incor-
porate those voices in their
organization.
UNC sophomore Ashley
Simpson said she enjoyed hear-
ing an optimistic perspective
on the journalism profession.
She said she was in awe of
what Junck has been able to
achieve in the industry.
Thats the kind of thing that
translates to whatever industry
youre in, Simpson said.
Junck said the key to
remaining strong during hard
times is to remain enthusi-
astic and to recognize the
importance of the work of
those around you.
In all of our markets, our
reporters and journalists and
photographers and videogra-
phers do an excellent job of
covering the news and whats
important to their communi-
ties, Junck said. I think we
are making a difference in
those communities.
J-School adds
legal protection
By Haley Waxman
Staff Writer
As the number of student
journalists continues to grow
due to an increasing number
of media platforms, UNC jour-
nalism faculty are beginning
to recognize the need for legal
protection.
This year, for the first time,
the UNC School of Journalism
and Mass Communication has
purchased multimedia liability
insurance for its students. The
insurance covers lawsuits relat-
ed to libel, copyright infringe-
ment and invasion of privacy.
Media law professor Cathy
Packer, who helped develop the
policy, said she is unaware of
any other schools offering this
kind of coverage.
It used to be that occasion-
ally students would be pub-
lished, but students are blog-
ging, tweeting and everybody
is a publisher, Packer said.
Packer, who is also co-
director of the UNC Center
for Media Law and Policy, has
been involved in a national
project on identifying legal
needs of journalism schools
as news producers.
We had never had insur-
ance to cover our students,
she said. In this group that I
was in, this was a big topic of
conversation.
The one-year policy, which
took effect in September, was
purchased for $1,353 and
covers $1 million worth of
insurance. Packer said stu-
dents will not bear the cost.
Robin Bennington, a risk
management analyst for
UNCs financial division, said
in an email the policy covers
the curricular activities of
students engaged in journal-
ism school coursework.
For example, the policy cov-
ers work published in classes,
as well as ongoing projects
housed within the school,
including the Reese News Lab
and Carolina Week.
The policy does not cover
the personal publications of
journalism students or other
campus publications not affili-
ated with the school.
David Ardia, assistant pro-
fessor of law and co-director
of the Center for Media Law
and Policy, worked closely
with Packer and was part of
the national working group.
Were being watched as a
pilot project, Ardia said.
Packer said she did not
know of any student who had
ever been sued for libel or
other related charges.
Ardia said the insurance is a
proactive measure rather than
a reaction to past issues.
Its recognizing here that
students are already produc-
ing a great deal of content and
there is going to be more of
that going forward, he said.
Ardia said it is important
for students to learn about
insurance and their legal
rights as part of their educa-
tion for multiple reasons.
He said more and more
students are working for
smaller organizations or
doing freelance work.
Its becoming more impor-
tant for everyone who prac-
tices journalism to be famil-
iar with the laws, he said.
They just cant look to their
employer anymore as the
sources for that kind of legal
training and assistance. They
have to look to themselves.
Reese News Lab, an experi-
mental news and research lab
based out of the journalism
school, is one of the projects
protected by the coverage.
John Clark, the director of
Reese, said it is important for
students to know about this
kind of insurance when the
field of journalism is chang-
ing so quickly.
I think it has a very practi-
cal purpose, he said. I also
think its a good teaching
opportunity.
Packer said she is proud of
the journalism school for tak-
ing this proactive step.
Its very professional, and
thats the way we should be.

RESEARCH STUDY: AsenD
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if adding asenapine to an
antidepressant in patients who have a diagnosis of Major Depressive
Disorder without psychosis, who have not fully responded to at least
6 weeks of treatment with the antidepressant alone, results in
improvement of depressive symptoms. Asenapine is a type of drug
called an antipsychotic. The United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has approved the use of asenapine in the
treatment of schizophrenia.
You May be Eligible to Participate if:
You are 18-65 years of age
You have a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder without Psychotic
Symptoms
You continue to have depressive symptoms even though you are
being treated with an antidepressant
What Is Involved?
You will have an interview with the research psychiatrist to make
sure you qualify for the study.
If you qualify, you will start taking asenapine or the placebo twice a day.
After you begin the medication, you will return every 2 weeks for
visits that last up to 3 hours to evaluate your symptoms and monitor
for possible side effects of the medication.
The study will last 6 weeks.
What Will I Be Compensated?
Up to $100 for completion of all study visits.
Study medications and related psychiatric treatment is provided at
no cost.
Travel for study visits is reimbursed.

Freshman trio ready for rivalry game
By Brooke Pryor and
Aaron Dodson
Senior Writers
At 6 a.m. Tuesday, just
four days before the North
Carolina football teams meet-
ing with in-state rival N.C.
State, freshman wide receiver
Bug Howard walked into the
Tar Heel locker room and
immediately saw red.
Theyve been trashing
our locker room every day,
Howard said. Well, I dont
know whos been doing it.
Were guessing somebody, an
N.C. State fan, has been com-
ing and putting all that red up
in our locker room. I hope a
UNC person is not doing it.
Its just red every day in
our locker room, and we just
go tearing it down. We dont
know who it is, but were
going to take it out on them
whoever it is.
This time last year,
Howard missed the game
between UNC and N.C. State
to play in one of his own at
Wilcox County High School
in Rochelle, Ga.
Freshmen T.J. Logan and
Ryan Switzer got a chance to
catch the game live Logan
from his Greensboro home,
and Switzer from the stands
in Kenan Stadium.
What the three players had
in common that day, however,
was each had already com-
mitted to play for the Tar
Heels all selecting UNC
instead of other schools,
including N.C. State.
For Switzer, a West
Virginia product, the game
was a chance to fully experi-
ence and understand the
rivalry between the two
schools.
I got excited, said Switzer,
remembering watching
Giovani Bernards game-win-
ning touchdown. I felt like I
was on the team because all
those guys were so emotional.
(It) kind of showed me what
the State game really means
to the upperclassmen.
Now, a year later, the fresh-
man trio is doing its part to
replace talent lost to gradua-
tion and the NFL.
Injuries and lack of pro-
duction caused the coaching
staff to switch up the depth
chart, and the group is get-
ting an opportunity to carve
a place in UNCs offensive
attack.
We knew all three
had a chance, and even
Khris Francis, Offensive
Coordinator Blake Anderson
said. Ive been really pleased
with their progress. Id like to
see them get more and more
involved, and as they prove

El Centro
eyes new
location
By Holly West
Assistant City Editor
Day laborers in Carrboro
might have a place of their
own by the end of the year.
El Centro Hispano, which
offers services for Hispanic
people in Durham, Carrboro
and Chapel Hill, is in talks to
move into a new location in
December.
The potential location is at
201 W. Weaver St., the cur-
rent home of Carrboros PTA
Thrift Shop.
In an email to Carrboro
town staff, Pilar Rocha-
Goldberg, the president and
CEO of El Centro Hispano,
said while the Weaver Street
site is small, it has five offices.
The space will also serve as
a day laborers workers center,
a place where day laborers can
wait to be picked up for work.
The organization has met
with the day laborers to start
planning the structure for
the workers center, Rocha-
Goldberg said in the email.
El Centro plans to continue
to offer its current programs,
including ESL classes, leader-
ship training and legal clinic
services, at the new location.
They wanted to be able
to have a location that would
allow for multiple uses and
this space does that, said
Carrboro Alderman Randee
Haven-ODonnell.
Natalia Lenis, community
special and organizer for El
Centro, said local organizations
Justice United and the Chapel
Hill/Carrboro Human Rights
Center will also be involved in
the workers center.
She said it will offer more
than just a safe place for day
laborers to be picked up.
Theyre going to have a
space where it will be more
organized for them to find
work, Lenis said. They also
benefit from services we
already have that we offer to
the Latino community.
El Centros lease at its cur-
rent Carrboro Plaza location
expires Thursday. The orga-
nization has operated at the
same place since it opened in
Carrboro in 2010, but wanted
to find a cheaper location
where it could open a work-
ers center.
I am hoping that more
people will know where we
are, she said. Its more in the
downtown area.
Until it moves into the
Weaver Street space, El Centro
will run out of a business incu-
bator, the Midway Business
Center at 109 N. Graham St.,
in Chapel Hill.
Lenis said all programs will
run normally at the tempo-
rary location.
She said there are other
ideas being considered for the
center, but they havent been
finalized.
Most of the planning is
still in progress, she said.
And she said though
many programs are aimed at
Latinos, everyone in the com-
munity can take advantage of
its services.
Anyone can benefit, she
said. Were not going to dis-
criminate if youre Latino or
not.
First-in-ight feud continues
By Olivia Lanier
Staff Writer
A century-long battle
between North Carolina and
Ohio about which state was
First in Flight has finally
come to an end as the two
states work together to coun-
ter claims made by a new
competitor Connecticut.
Most historians agree that
the Wright brothers took the
first controlled, powered flight
on the beaches of Kitty Hawk
in 1903. But in June, the
Connecticut General Assembly
passed a bill denouncing the
Wright brothers achievements
and gave credit to Gustave
Whitehead. Connecticut Gov.
Dannel Malloy then signed the
bill into law.
Whitehead was a German
immigrant residing in
Bridgeport, Conn., at the time
of his alleged flight in 1901.
But according to a state-
ment given by Tom Crouch,
senior curator of aeronautics
at the National Air and Space
Museum of the Smithsonian
Institution, Connecticuts evi-
dence is far from convincing.
One major source of evi-
dence is Richard Howells
eyewitness account printed in
Bridgeports Sunday Herald,
four days after Whiteheads
alleged flight took place. It
mentions two other witness-
es, Andrew Cellic and James
Dickie.
But a reporter who
attempted to track down the
witnesses in 1936 reported
that no one remembered
Cellic, while Dickie told
the reporter that he didnt
remember ever hearing about
that flight.
Crouch said Whitehead
supporters also presented a
blurred photograph of a large
bird-like machine.
N.C. Sen. Bill Cook,
R-Beaufort, said the photo-
graph didnt prove much.
The alleged picture is of
some sort of blob. You cannot
make out a definition of any-
thing, Cook said. You could
say its a close-up of a frog, or
you could say its a spaceship
theres no way you could say it
was of anything in particular.
Larry Tise, a history
professor at East Carolina
University, said historians
who have analyzed the photo
found it to be doctored.
But Orestes Gooden,
a lecturer of aviation sci-
ence at Elizabeth City State
University, said he wasnt
surprised another state would
make such allegations.
People were flying before
the Wright brothers, and thats
a true statement, he said.
They just didnt document it.
Connecticut Rep. Larry
Miller, a Republican, said
the purpose of the new
Connecticut law is to give
Whitehead the credit he
deserves.
All we want is a little rec-
ognition for a guy from our
home state, to get the credit
he deserves, Miller said. He
spent his life on it, but as a
German immigrant, he didnt
stand a chance.
Cook said his goal is to reaf-
firm the Wright brothers lega-
cy with the help of Republican
Ohio Rep. Rick Perales.
What I want to accom-
plish, with the help of the
representative of Ohio, is
a chance to set the record
straight, he said. If there
was good, credible evidence
that the Wright brothers
werent first, I would tell you,
but thats not the case here.
that they can, they will.
Howard caught two touch-
down passes in the 34-10
win against Boston College
Saturday, and Switzer scored
his first touchdown against
the Eagles, a 13-yard recep-
tion good for UNCs first
score of the game.
Despite having accrued
230 yards 87 of them on
the ground in just three
games this season, Logan has
yet to find the end zone.
And though each game
is an opportunity to get in
the box score, for Logan,
crossing into the end zone
at Carter-Finley Stadium
against a backdrop of fans
decked out in the same color
thats filled his locker room
all week would make his first
collegiate touchdown even
sweeter.
If it helps our team win,
then Im about it, Logan said.
If it happens against N.C.
State, Im going to be even
more excited.

While thousands in the
UNC community enjoyed the
Zero Dark Thursday game, the
experience was not the same
for some UNC employees.
Following the Oct. 17 game,
James Holman, a crew leader
for housekeeping services,
wrote a letter to The Daily
Tar Heel voicing his concerns
about how UNC treated
housekeepers on game day.
Some of the disruptions
Holman described were
employees being forced to leave
early without the opportunity
to make up time while the sec-
ond- and third-shift employees
had to go off campus and be
bused to the University.
Holman said in an interview
employees were required to be
on time despite the fact that
they were not in control of
their transportation.
Were the ones taking care
of staff, faculty and the rest of
the University. Why should we
have to be subjected to this for
an athletic event? he said.
Holman said he wanted
to express his concerns so
University leaders would think
twice and be better prepared.
Its all yet another exam-
ple of how athletics at UNC
can so easily dominate what
happens on campus in this
case, without much regard for
the needs of the employees
even those who help to make
those lucrative athletic events
the successes that they are,
he said in his letter.
Holman said he received
complaints from other employ-
ees, which was his motivation
to write the letter. He said
since the letter was published
he has received some calls
from people who feel he has
stepped on some toes.
This was not a forum let-
ter. It was my personal opin-
ion, he said.
Darius Dixon, director of
housekeeping, declined to
comment on the matter.
Anna Wu, assistant vice
chancellor for facilities opera-
tions, planning and design,
said all employees received an
email about changes to their
workday to accommodate the
Thursday night game.
Our first-shift employees
were given the option to adjust
their work schedule during the
week and were not required
to take accumulated paid time
off, Wu said in an email.
She said most employees
chose to rearrange their
schedules, adding that those
who chose to work during
the game were provided with
alternative parking spaces.
Liz Hawryluk, co-chair-
woman of the Campus Ys
Coalition for Human Rights,
said the University needs
to provide a more inclusive
working environment for all
the employees.
Its inhibiting their ability
to work and to work when
they so choose, she said.
As a matter of workers
rights in the University,
Hawryluk said it is important
to advocate for more respect
in the University community
for all faculty and staff.
We need to make sure
they are voicing their con-
cerns and not that we are just
projecting our own.

China leaders nearby
during Tiananmen attack
BEIJING(MCT) Chinese
President Xi Jinping and the
six other top officials reported-
ly were at Tiananmen Square
on Monday when a vehicle
crashed and exploded nearby,
leaving five dead.
Although there is no indi-
cation that the physical safety
of the leaders, who were
attending meetings inside
the Great Hall of the People,
was jeopardized, the apparent
suicide attack so close to the
epicenter of power rattled the
Chinese government and has

along with two tourists, one

Supreme Court set to rule
on abortion drugs
WASHINGTON(MCT)
Oklahomas high court
set the stage Tuesday for the
U.S. Supreme Court to rule
on an abortion dispute over
whether states may restrict
doctors from prescribing the
two drugs that are commonly
used by women who seek an
abortion in the first weeks of
their pregnancy.
The Oklahoma case could
be the first test of whether the
courts conservative majority
will uphold the new state laws
that seek to strictly regulate
legal abortions.
The legislatures in
Oklahoma, Texas and several
other states have adopted
laws that require doctors to
follow the Food and Drug
Administrations protocols
for the use of any abortion-
inducing drug. These laws
forbid doctors to prescribe
medications for off-label
use.
Sponsors of the laws said
they want to protect the
health of women. But medi-
cal experts and supporters of
abortion rights said the laws
would effectively ban medica-
tion abortions because the
FDA protocol is outdated and
conflicts with current medical
practice.

Biomedical engineering
professor Edward Chaney,
who is the co-founder of the
imaging software company
Morphomics Inc., said it is
necessary to seek a balance
between the citizens whose
tax money pays for research
grants and the return those
citizens must eventually see.
Theres no question
(financial profitability of
research is important),
Chaney said. The research
the company was founded on
we did at UNC with grants
primarily from the (National
Cancer Institute). Its hard to
measure profit just in dollars
theres an intangible profit-
ability, but also a financial
gain. The University was
part-owner of the company
and received royalties, and
thats important too.
Music and womens and
gender studies professor
Annegret Fauser said it is
important to consider long-
term effects when looking at
the value of research.
Of course there are the
applicable outcomes of
research, which can be some-
thing like a book, but there
is also a far less tangible
side, about the development
of knowledge and creativity
without an immediate quanti-
fiable outcome, she said.
Fauser praised the creative
thought that happens at uni-
versities rather than corpora-
tions which cant be judged
by an economic metric.
Eventually, of course, I ll
write a book or hold a con-
ference or teach a seminar
relating to my research, but
besides all of that, something
is gained when we think
about who we are, she said.
Its a way of thinking, of
problem-solving, and how
can you sell that? You cant.
Dean said in his interviews
with the provost selection
committee, he discussed
opportunities for improve-
ment in commercialization
but said it is not his only
focus.
This is important, but its
one of a number of things
that are important, he said.
The University has some
businesslike elements, but
the University is not strictly
speaking a business. And my
goal is not to turn it into one,
even though I was the busi-
ness school dean.
Fauser is originally from
Germany, where, she said, an
emphasis on creative thought
and research in the humani-
ties and arts is considered
vital for maintaining high
industrial output.
I would love for people
on this side of the Atlantic
to realize that things cant
all be outcome-driven, she
said. When we dont value
humanities, arts, knowledge
for the sake of knowledge, we
are losing something that,
ironically, is important for
economic competitiveness.
most important factor in her
decision.
Because she recently got
married and her husband
was going back to school, she
needed a more steady income.
I really cant complain,
but am I doing what I love?
No, not really, she said. I
couldnt. It wasnt realistic. I
had to pay my own bills.
Where students decide to
work after graduation also
affects their starting salary,
said Denise Dwight Smith,
director of UNC-Cs University
Career Center for Work,
Services and Internships.
Smith said UNC-C has a
lower average starting salary
because its students tend to
stay in the area.
One of the things to keep
in mind is that many of our
students stay in Charlotte,
while many of Chapel Hill and
N.C. State students move to
the North where the salaries
are much higher, she said.
Nick Ionta, who graduated
from UNC-C with a computer
science degree, was unable to
stay in Charlotte because he
couldnt find a job. He found
a job in his field in Virginia.
Obviously, I wanted a
job in my field and one that
would allow me to have a
comfortable and relaxed
work environment, he said.
Unfortunately, northern
Virginia is more expensive, so
salary was more important.
Angle said there are many
other reasons why people
might choose a career field
besides salary and geographic
location, including service-
oriented work or job stability.
He said he would encour-
age students to go into work
that they are most interested
in, not what pays the most.
And Woody Catoe, assis-
tant director of N.C. States
University Career Center, said
in an email while the College
of Engineering produces the
most graduates, the College
of Humanities and Social
Sciences is close behind.
He said recent studies,
including a 2012 one by
NACE, are reaffirming the
value of liberal arts degrees.
In the study, employers
were asked what skills they
considered essential in new
hires.
The top 10 list spoke to
skills inherently learned in
the liberal arts much more
so than those found in more
technical majors, Catoe said.
This is especially true for
STEM majors who may be
technically prepared but lack-
ing in communication and
writing skills.
But according to the study,
employers still seek people who
can analyze quantitative data,
work with computer software
and other technical aspects.
Catoe said an education
should be measured by how it
prepares students to contribute
to society, in addition to salary.
We dont need every
student to be in a STEM
major, but we do need stu-
dents who are informed
about these areas just as we
need technically prepared
students to be able to articu-
late and communicate their
ideas clearly.

not ready to decide for them-
selves which classes will ben-
efit them in the future.
According to the report,
students consider general
education requirements irri-
tating obstacles to completing
their majors but several
UNC students disagree.
Junior Allie Madonia said
she decided on her Writing for
the Screen and Stage Minor
after taking Comparative
Literature 160 to fulfill a gen-
eral education requirement.
And Randolph Mckinnie, a
sophomore global studies and
Peace, War and Defense major,
said the current system attracts
inquisitive students who might
be undecided on a major.
I actually like what we
have because there are a lot of
students who come in without
knowing what they want to
do, he said. The University
prides itself on such a good
liberal arts education. If you
narrow it down, you are nar-
rowing down peoples educa-
tional experience.

C
oal industry supporters rally at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on
Tuesday. In speeches, workers and coal-state lawmakers criticized new EPA

Q&A with environment
activist Lyle Estill
Lyle Estill is a writer who
stumbled upon the path of
being an environmental
activist by accident and
then continued his journey
to eventually become the co-
founder of Piedmont Biofuels.
In his latest book, Small
Stories, Big Changes: Agents
of Change on the Frontlines of
Sustainability, he assembled
stories from various activists
with stories to tell. He will be
discussing his book at Bulls
Head Bookshop today.
Estill spoke to staff writer
Zhai Yun Tan about the pur-
pose of the book.
Daily Tar Heel: What is your
book about?
lyle Estill: It is an anthology
of 14 different authors whom
are all pioneers or have been
on the front lines of societal
change. Some of them are
well-known writers who have
been publishing for many
years, and some of them
are new voices who are just
appearing for the first time.
One of them is Tim Toben.
He has a chapter in there
about Greenbridge, which is
the skyscraper in Chapel Hill
that has the lowest energy
consumption per square
foot than any building in
the Southeast. Theres Blair
Pollock who developed the
Orange County recycling pro-
gram, and theres Eric Henry
who developed the Cotton of
the Carolinas, the first organ-
ic cotton crop in this state
since Reconstruction.
Its a collection of interest-
ing people with interesting
stories. It shows the personal,
emotional and spiritual side
of being an agent of change.
DTH: What inspired you to
come up with that idea?
lE: I was in Paris at
the time reading all the
American writers in Paris
during the 20s and 30s. I
was enjoying Hemingway
and Fitzgerald, feeling jeal-
ous and thinking what a
great time that was to be
alive. Wouldnt it be inter-
esting to be arguing with
Gertrude Stein all night?
Then it dawned on me that
it is what I do. That is the
life that I have except that
instead of being with the
1920s and 30s artists and
writers in Paris, the people
around me happen to be the
same kind of people that
are making change in the
names of sustainability and
America. So I thought that
would be the book. Its been
selling like popcorns, and
Ive had people sending sto-
ries of their own activism to
my website.
DTH: What do you hope to
achieve with your book?
lE: To inspire people, to let
them know that anyone can
do it. These are just normal
people who are doing excep-
tional things. I hope readers
will get ahold of this book and
be inspired to take action and
become an agent of change on
their own.
DTH: Why is the message of
taking action so important?
lE: I think that if you are

DTH: Who would you rec-
ommend to read this book?
lE: Anyone who feels like
they might have an activ-
ist in them. They can take
away the notion that they can
effect change on their own.
I think that we live in an era
where there are unfathom-
ably complex problems so like
when youre contemplating
peak oil or climate change,
these things can be daunting
and paralyzing. It can make
an individual uncertain onto
what they can or cannot do.
So these are 14 stories of what
people have already done.
Everyone in this book is a
pioneer and they have experi-
enced something firsthand.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATUrED OnlinE rEADEr cOmmEnT
Covering a Carolina
proposal in the DTH
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to the Oct.
11 coverage of UNCs most
recent proposal at the Old
Well: First, I am extremely
happy for my friend and
her fiance, and I wanted to
point out an issue that I had
with the DTHs coverage.
On the first day of
classes, Sean Tapley, a UNC
football player, proposed to
his girlfriend of three years.
And where exactly did he
decide to do this? Yep, at
the Old Well. Naturally, I
picked up the DTH to see
an article congratulating
them on this event the
Wednesday morning after,
and I was shocked that it
had not been mentioned.
I thought that maybe the
event was too personal,
but a couple of Fridays later
I picked up the DTH to see
that someone else decided
to celebrate this joyous
unification at the Old Well.
I was of course amazed at
how beautiful her proposal
was, and delighted that
all of UNC could have the
opportunity to share this
priceless moment with such
an amazing couple.
It would have been nice
for the University to share
that moment with Sean
Tapley, too.
Unfortunately more
than half of the Carrboro
and Chapel Hill commu-
nity, which reads the DTH
on a daily basis, didnt
know to congratulate him
and his fiancee the day
after because it was never
mentioned. What exactly is
considered DTH-worthy?

Kvetch reinforced
mental illness stigma
TO THE EDITOR:
Like most students, I
look forward to reading
the Kvetching Board each
Friday. We all know it con-
tains vulgar humor, but a
line has been crossed.
This kvetch appeared
in last Fridays newspa-
per: To the UNC football
team: After weeks of mean
kvetches and Facebook
comments, you guys
might want a group ses-
sion with Counseling and
Psychological Services.
Im upset by what some
UNC students find funny.
Its not funny that one in
four American adults has a
diagnosable mental illness
in any given year (National
Alliance on Mental Illness).
Its not funny that two-
thirds of people with a
mental illness do not seek
treatment, citing stigma as
a main cause. And its espe-
cially not funny that suicide
is the second leading cause
of death on college cam-
puses.
This kvetch reinforces
the stigma that people
with a mental illness face
every day. It makes light of

H
alloween,
Homecoming and
the last day of classes
are arguably the three big-
gest celebrations for college
students. Unlike the latter
two, Halloween offers the one
chance of the year to not only
act but also dress outside of
your normal persona.
During the past several
days, several Halloween cos-
tumes have appeared online,
many of which involve a racist
or stereotypical depiction of
someone of another race.
From people dressing up
as George Zimmerman and
Trayvon Martin to the captains
of the Asiana Airlines flight
that crashed in San Francisco,
it is clearly evident that we do
not live in a post-racial soci-
ety if people think that these
costumes are anywhere near
acceptable.
Although it may not be
intentional, donning blackface
or any other outfit for cul-
tural appropriation is not only
inherently racist, but insensi-
tive.
The use of blackface dates
back to 1830 with the creation
of popular minstrel character
Jim Crow. The name of this
racist caricature of black cul-
ture would later be used in the
early and mid-20th century to
describe laws that informally
institutionalized separate but
equal facilities in the southern
United States. In turn, this
type of costume carries years
of unfavorable history in which
not all citizens of the United
States were treated the same.
Like the use of blackface,
other appropriations, such as
dressing up in the traditional
attire of American Indians,
promote the idea that some
cherished part of the culture is
now tolerated as a costume.
A student group at the
University of Ohio named
Students Teaching About
Racism in Society (STARS)
started a poster campaign
called Were a Culture, Not a
Costume, which has received
nationwide attention since
its launch in 2011. The post-
ers have facilitated a national
discussion on how it is wrong
to essentially portray another
culture for ones Halloween
costume.
While we havent seen offen-
sive Halloween costumes as a
visible problem in Chapel Hill,
the administrators of several
other universities across the
nation are taking initiative to
stop these types of costumes
on Halloween.
For example, the
University of Minnesota sent
a letter to students to keep in
mind that some Halloween
costumes may reinforce
racial, cultural and gender
stereotypes. The letter, which
was in part written by the
universitys dean of students,
went as far as to warn stu-
dents about social media
posts during Halloween.
Make no mistake. Halloween
isnt the only time of year when
this cannot happen. Blackface
or any form of negative appro-
priation should not be accepted
or tolerated no matter when,
where or why.
Before you head to Franklin
Street Thursday evening to
partake in ghoulish festivities,
ask yourself if the costume you
are wearing could come off as
offensive. If you have to think
about it, then you shouldnt
wear it.

mental illnesses. It implies
failure. There is absolutely
nothing wrong with seeking
treatment, including ther-
apy. In fact, seeking ther-
apy is a sign of strength.
Furthermore, Counseling
and Psychological Services
is a great resource that
offers UNC students a vari-
ety of services and support.
Im actually embarrassed
for the DTH. There may
be something called free-
dom of speech, but theres
something called ethics.
Ethics should be applied to
every single word printed
in the DTH, including the
Kvetching Board. A line
needs to be drawn between
whats funny and whats
harmful.
I encourage the opinion
editors to familiarize them-
selves with sensitive issues,
such as mental health. Im
tired of seeing destructive
kvetches.

History is an essential
part of an education
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to the article
that Elizabeth City State
University may cut its his-
tory department: I am just
appalled to think this would
even be considered by any
college or university.
What in heavens name
are we teaching our chil-
dren? That the dollar is
mightier and more impor-
tant than someone getting a
well-rounded education?
My minor was history, a
very important field to me.
History has many things
to teach us about our past,
mistakes we have made and
about how to avoid them
hopefully in the future
and about our great suc-
cesses.
We tell our children in
grade school and in high
school that they need to
know their history, but then
once they go to college we
say, Forget history, its not
going to get you a job?
How illogical can you be?
In addition, I have found
that the history a child
learns in grade school
and high school is a very
watered-down version,
leaving out much of what
should be told. History
courses in college, how-
ever, can be broke down in
special topics, and thereby
teach a lot that is not taught
in school before college
for example, womens
history.
It is a shame. It is embar-
rassing that a state like
North Carolina, which was
the first public university,
feels that cutting and slash-
ing funding for education
and for its universities is the
way to meet budget issues.
As a taxpayer, I would hap-
pily pay a little more in taxes
to ensure my children, my
grandchildren and their
children are able to study
at a well-rounded higher
learning program at our
public universities, and I feel
many other parents would be
happy to do the same.

T
he National Collegiate Athletic
Association and college athletics
as a whole have grown and evolved
since their inceptions. No longer is col-
lege athletics merely a contest devoted to
bolstering the egos of Ivy League colleges
in rival football games. It has evolved from
simple beginnings into a near-billion-dol-
lar industry, but the NCAA and the term
student athlete remain with one foot
stuck in the past.
Student athlete is an antiquated term
that latches onto the old idea of the well-
rounded student.
It is a term claimed
to have been born, not
from an original percep-
tion that collegiate ath-
letes were students first
and should not be paid
a few college football
teams originally came
with payrolls but as a
defense against a lawsuit
that sought workers
compensation for the
widow of a Fort Lewis A&M football player
who died on the field.
The NCAAs steadfastness in sticking to
this term and not paying athletes has been
widely criticized and argued against in
many theaters that can do the issue more
justice than this space can provide. Sources
ranging from the book authored by UNCs
own Taylor Branch, The Cartel, to the
many pieces by New York Times writer Joe
Nocera, to even the cartoon show South
Park, have offered their own takes on the
draconian policies employed by the NCAA.
These complaints deal with issues that
range from unfair eligibilty rules to the
lack of bargaining rights given to athletes.
However, they often touch on the lack of
compensation given to athletes.
These calls for reform should be heard and
answered. With these changes should come
a method to compensate players beyond the
scholarships that only some of them get.
Those that believe this would corrupt
the values of college athletics need only
to pick their heads out of the sand and
survey the current state of affairs. When
colleges have canceled afternoon classes
in the past in order to televise a Thursday
night football game and Texas A&M quar-
terback Johnny Manziel was suspended
for only half of a football game for allega-
tions of selling autographs, only to come
back and mime counting money it is
hard to call collegiate athletics pure.
Admittedly, the prospect of flat-out pay-
ing athletes comes with practical hindranc-
es. With athletic budgets already stretched
thin to help support other expenses outside
of football and basketball, its hard to find a
source for these additional expenditures.
Therefore, a solution may not come from
giving additional funds to athletes, but
merely reinstating a right that all other stu-
dents have the right to their likeness.
With this, athletes could profit from
the jerseys that are already sold with
their identifying number and the recently
discontinued video games that present
characters that look exactly like each
schools roster a product only discon-
tinued after a class-action lawsuit sought
exactly this.
Olympic athletes are paid the exorbitant
amount of $0 for their participation in
the international games. However, every-
one can see Subway advertisements with
Michael Phelps face plastered across it,
something he is surely compensated for.
If the International Olympic Committee
once a stronghold of amateurism
finds this method acceptable, why should
the NCAA not?
T
he student-athlete pay for play
debate is in full force and it doesnt
look to be going away any time soon.
Supporters of the mantra point to the
National Collegiate Athletic Associations
near-billion-dollar annual revenues and
claim that these revenues are unfairly made
off of athletes without giving them proper
compensation a claim that blatantly
undervalues the importance of education,
opportunities and once-in-a-lifetime expe-
riences.
At the panel discussion, UNC Athletic
Director Bubba
Cunningham reminded
the audience that stu-
dent athletes across the
country and at UNC
in particular have
the opportunity and the
privilege not only to par-
ticipate in sports but to
attend one of the great-
est universities in the
country.
Jim Boeheim, Hall
of Fame basketball coach at Syracuse
University, stirred up controversy earlier
this month when he referred to the idea of
paying college athletes as the most idiotic
suggestion of all time.
While Boeheim is clearly on the extreme
end of the spectrum, this could be the clos-
est he has ever been to right about some-
thing.
Boeheim debunked former Michigan
University and NBA star Chris Webbers
grumble that he received no sort of com-
pensation despite his jersey being sold in
student stores, citing that Webber received
a free education and the publicity that
would eventually land him a big-time NBA
contract.
I love Webber for calling the greatest
time-out in UNC basketball history just as
much as the next guy, but Boeheim has a
point.
The few thousand dollars that athletes
could make off of royalties pales in com-
parison to the value of a full scholarship,
an education and the exposure that gives
athletes a chance to show off their skills to
professional scouts.
And as valuable as this education and
exposure is, its not the only thing that stu-
dent athletes receive. College athletes get to
live out the dream playing the sport that
so many of them love while hundreds and,
in many cases, thousands of their peers
look on and cheer.
However, if the fame and envy arent
enough either, maybe we can all agree that
the abundance of free gear that student
athletes receive is a pretty nice perk.
Yes, the NCAA is seemingly raking it
in year after year, but the bottom line is
that the NCAA is a nonprofit association.
Ninety-six percent of its revenues go back
to member conferences and schools or sup-
port championships and programs aimed
at benefiting the student athlete.
A plan to pay players has yet to come with-
out its own litany of issues and problems.
Are we willing to pay revenue sport
student athletes at the expense of cutting
other sports? Who do we pay and how
much? Is amateur athletics a thing of the
past?
There are tons of questions regarding the
issue and the regulation that would be nec-
essary to implement it.
This all-or-nothing approach toward
either paying or not paying student athletes
is extremely polarizing.
Until a plan that can quell all of these
issues is proposed, I see no reason to
change a policy that has been in place for
more than a hundred years.
THE ISSUE: After a screening of the documentary Schooled: The Price of
College Sports last week in Carroll Hall, a panel discussed the current state of
college athletics. Among many issues, the often-debated issue of paying col-
lege athletes was touched upon.
Athletes should
