selected junior Adele Ricciardi to
serve as CUAB president for the
2010-11 academic year.
CUAB uses about a third of the
$39 student government fee to
bring movies, entertainment and
discussions of social issues to the
campus community.
Ricciardi, who has been a mem-
ber of CUAB since her freshman
year, sat on the Union Board of
Directors this year in addition
to serving as chairwoman of the
music committee.
She said she wants to create a
stronger connection with students.

sive involvement in campus organi-
zations and longtime commitment
to CUAB made her the most quali-
fied of the five applicants.
“She’s more than qualified to
handle the position,” Kao said.
“She’s a natural-born leader, and
she has what it takes to help CUAB
and the Union move forward.”
Kao said Ricciardi should strive
to make students her first priority.
“She needs to really try to reach
out to everyone and keep the stu-
dent body’s best interests at heart,”
she said.
The CUAB president is respon-
sible for overseeing and advising
CUAB’s 18 committees. The presi-
dent also serves as the head of the
Union Board of Directors, which
focuses on the policy and fiscal
sides of Union administration.
“I’m most looking forward to
getting a diverse group of people
to come up with creative ideas for
the campus,” Ricciardi said.
Ricciardi added that the biggest
difficulty she anticipates will be
finalizing plans for the new restau-
rant in the bottom of the Union.
Last fall, administrators
announced plans to replace the
Union’s first-floor copy center with
a fast food restaurant. The proposal
received mixed responses from the
student body, and Union officials
have yet to decide on what type of
restaurant will fill the space.

The event, “Tarheel Segregation:

scious effort to bring to light self-
segregation on campus.
The event was hosted by the
Alpha Iota Chapter of La Unidad

Carolina Latino Collaborative and
the American Indian Center.
Steven Quintero, president of

thinks the campus is diverse and
that there is intermingling, but
there needs to be more.
“Black people hang out in cer-
tain areas; white people hang out
in certain areas. The Asians and
Latinos also have their areas,”
Quintero said. “People are drawn to
people that look like themselves.”
Hastings mentioned that many
people avoid racism and do not talk
about it, but she said it is prevalent
in media, songs and the classroom.

“Speech and Debate” promises
to be a juicy high school play, full
of sexual intrigue, blackmail and
shameless ambition.
As director Andrew Slater joked,
it’s more like “Notes on a Scandal”
than the happy halls of “Saved by
the Bell.”
In the play, one student creates a
blog relating a sex scandal between
another student and a teacher. A
reporter stumbles upon it and tries
to turn it into a media explosion.
The latest production from
Lab! Theatre and the Department
of Dramatic Art’s Undergraduate
Theatre, the play opens tonight.
Slater found the play when he
went looking for a modern com-
edy. He wanted something that
dealt with the issues facing today’s
teenagers, like sexuality and the
transition to adulthood, in a con-
temporary way.
“Speech and Debate,” first per-
formed in 2006, is rooted in a
modern group of teens who are in
a difficult place where they need to

that trying to ground the char-
acters in reality but avoiding an
ensemble of caricatures was part
of the challenge.
“The first time I read through
the play, I laughed out loud at how
ridiculous it was,” said cast mem-
ber Tyler Burt, who plays Howie.
“But when you’re inside the char-
acter it’s serious. It’s life and death
in there.”
“Pretty much like high school,”
added Josh Wolonick, who plays
Soloman.
Slater said performing modern
productions like this is important
because a lot of theater that con-
fronts youth issues is already out-
dated.

ing challenges when they began

ful not to let her life experiences
influence her character’s.
Wolonick had a different prob-
lem — his character suffers from
stage fright.
“There’s this dance scene and
he doesn’t want to dance, and I
just don’t understand,” Wolonick
joked.
Finally, there’s a teacher and a
reporter, both played by Melissa
Parker.
Parker said it was a challenge to
play the older characters who are
both “super frumpy and exhaust-
ed.”

Women’s tennis claims
No. 1 rank for first time
Tough ACC slate
awaits Tar Heels
BY Alexandra Chabolla
Staff Writer
The view from the top is thrill-
ing. Gazing down from it is the
North Carolina’s women’s tennis
team, No. 1 in the nation.
The Tar Heels’ climb culminated
Tuesday from No. 18 all the way to
the top, a position UNC has never
been in before.
Coach Brian Kalbas said he was
pleased with the success of his team
and proud of its work so far.

tunity and we are even more moti-
vated,” Kalbas said.
The Campbell/ITA College ten-
nis rankings track the top teams
in collegiate tennis. The national
rankings are determined based on
average points per match.
The Intercollegiate Tennis
Association ranks the top 75 teams
and standings are published 17
times during the season.
After an extremely successful
weekend at the National Team
Indoor Championship Feb. 12-15,
the Tar Heels were positioned to
claim first place.
They dethroned then-No. 1
Duke in the tournament and lost
to Northwestern in the finals.
Last week, UNC rose to No. 2 in
the nation just under Northwestern,
but last Sunday the Wildcats lost to
Notre Dame.
Sanaz Marand, a senior and a
leader on the team, said she was
elated with their progress and attrib-
uted it to teamwork and spirit.
“We know that we can beat any
team out there if we stay unified,”
Marand said. “A lot of our success
has come from supporting each
other and keeping the energy up
every match.”

Marand’s 11-2 singles record in
dual match play is a testament to
that claim.
As a senior, she continues to be
a significant factor in the team’s
accomplishments.
“I’m extremely proud of our
success,” Marand said. “We have
worked really hard to get here.”
Now the Tar Heels (12-1) must
defend their lofty No. 1 ranking
as they are the top target in the
nation, Kalbas said.
The Tar Heels begin their ACC
season next weekend against N.C.
State.
They will have to defeat four-
top-15 teams in conference play to
maintain their leadership position
in the ACC.
“The ACC season is just begin-
ning. Our conference is so strong,”
Kalbas said.
Even though UNC is thrilled to
be atop the rankings, getting there
was only half the battle.
“We still have goals out there
that we want to achieve,” Marand
said. “We are going to have to work
hard and compete harder.”

Marjah under
Afghan control
CAMP GERONIMO,
Afghanistan (MCT) — The Afghan
government laid symbolic claim
to the former Taliban stronghold
of Marjah with a flag-raising cer-
emony and the formal installation
of a new civilian administration.
Afghan and Western military
officials said the campaign to
secure the area would go on for
weeks longer.
With 15,000 troops in combat
and support operations spread
over a wide area, it has been the
largest single Western offensive
since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001
that toppled the Taliban.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— The commandant of the
Marine Corps said he opposed
ending the ban on gays serving
openly in the military, the most
senior officer to break publicly
from President Barack Obama’s
push to change the current law.
Gen. James T. Conway told
the Senate Armed Services
Committee that he did not think
the law should be changed.
The military service chiefs have
been testifying before the House
and Senate, and lawmakers
have questioned them about the
Obama administration’s proposal
to allow gays to serve openly.
Obama and Republicans face o≠ in
a debate about health care reform
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— President Barack Obama
and Republicans sparred over
health care in a historic face off
Thursday, punctuated by a point-
ed exchange between Obama and
the man he defeated for the presi-
dency in 2008, Sen. John McCain
of Arizona.
McCain criticized Obama for
leading a Democratic effort to
overhaul health care marked by
secret negotiations, legislative
payoffs to key senators and a pop-
ular backlash against a system he
called unsavory.
He chided the president that

NEW DELHI (MCT) — The
first formal meeting Thursday
between India and Pakistan
since the terrorist attack on
the Indian city of Mumbai
15 months ago saw no break-

both sides termed it a first step
in building confidence.
“I would not character-
ize these talks as successful
or unsuccessful,” Pakistani

ward. “We must pick up the
pieces where this process was

the two of them had promised
to change the way Washington
works when they ran in 2008,
and that Obama had failed to
deliver.
“We’re not campaigning any-
more,” the president told McCain.
“The election is over.”
Obama brushed aside McCain’s
criticism, saying, “We can have
a debate about process or we
can have a debate about how
we’re actually going to help the
American people at this point.
And I think that’s — the latter
debate is the one that they care
about a little bit more.”
BALTIMORE (MCT) — A
bill to ban the chemical bis-
phenol A from baby bottles
and sippy cups passed its final
hurdle in the Maryland General
Assembly on Thursday.
The Senate passed the BPA
bill 46-0, following the House,
which passed an identical bill
last week. Gov. Martin O’Malley
hasn’t reviewed the legisla-
tion, but a spokesman said he
doesn’t believe he would have
objections. If the bill is signed,
Maryland would become the
fourth state to ban the chemical
linked to developmental prob-
lems in young children.

spokeswoman Kim Counts.
The projects’ marketers tar-
get wealthy fans to balance out
the minimum 15 percent of units
they reserve to satisfy the town
of Chapel Hill’s suggested level of
affordable housing.
Those units must be accessible
to people earning between 65 and
80 percent of the area median
income — or $33,599 to $41,352.
Between the weekend Rams
Club visitor and the buyer at
80 percent of the local median
income, not much room remains
for middle ground pricing, said
Dth/Sam ward Robert Dowling, director of the
Bell said these new development
projects are bringing in a different
type of person to the area. But it’s
not really up to the development
project leaders to pick who lives in
their condos, it’s up to the custom-
ers who buy the slots.
“Whether we realize it or not,
this is an open market and area and
does not always support affordabil-
ity,” Bell said.
But it’s not that the people mov-
ing in haven’t been here before.
Casey Cummings, president of
Ram Development, said 60 percent
of those who have signed the first
40 contracts are still directly affili-
ated with the University.

“You think, ‘If only I had done

Donato rests in UNC’s victory against Navy

By Matthew Cox
Staff writer
Even without its celebrated cap-
tain Clay Donato, the UNC men’s UNC 
tennis team cruised en route to a
comfortable 6-1 victory over Navy.
The No. 22 Tar Heels (7-2) dom-
inated all three doubles matches,
losing only seven combined games.
Ryan Noble fit in seamlessly with
Donato’s usual partner Stefan
Hardy to defeat Navy’s Owen
Bullard and Eddie Konrad 8-5.
UNC clinched the doubles point
with commanding 8-1 successes in
the other two matches.
“We made some positive steps
today in doubles,” UNC coach Sam
Paul said. “The win on the road
against Michigan gave us some
confidence.”
The Tar Heels’ confidence
could have only increased when
all three top singles players won
their matches in straight sets.

The freshman’s performance did
not go unnoticed.
“Ryan’s coming off an injury in
December but he’s starting to play
better,” Paul said. “He’s looking
much sharper on the court.”
Quick wins by the top three
mathematically clinched the overall
victory for UNC, but the remaining

The Pill:
All you’d
ever want
to know
H
appy birthday to you, oral
contraception. Fifty years
ago, the FDA approved
the first hormonal method of
birth control; it would change
American society forever, allowing
women to pursue higher educa-
tion and join the workforce in
record numbers. Oral contracep-
tion has enough of a following to
pull off the nickname “The Pill.”
The Pill has aged gracefully,
becoming so common in the US
that the phrase “birth control” is
often understood to mean oral
contraceptives. There have been
some universal improvements.
For example, all dosages are
much lower today, which means
fewer side effects and no long-
term effects.
However, several features of
The Pill that were decided on by
the men developing the drug in
the 1950s remain in most oral
contraceptives today.
For example, Pill packs always
start on a Sunday. Why? Not
because it’s the beginning of the
calendar week, but because if a
wife starts on Sunday, she won’t
have her period on the weekends
when her husband is home.
Another hold-over from the
50s is the 21 active pills/7 pla-
cebo pills regimen. What’s wrong
with 21/7? Nothing, if a woman
wants to bleed every month and
is great at remembering to take a
pill every day.
The Pill was revolutionary for
its time in using hormones to
modify bodily processes, namely
ovulation. The makers of The Pill
wanted women (and men) to see
as little change in what was consid-
ered “normal” as possible. With the
21/7 combo, a woman experiences
a “withdrawal bleed,” similar to
menstruation, every month.
There is no medical reason
why women on The Pill need to
have a withdrawal bleed every
month.
Having fewer days a year off
active pills also reduces the risk of
going more than seven days in a
row off hormones, which can lead
to ovulation and possible preg-
nancy. New extended-cycle pills
make having fewer or no “periods”
easy. Most pills can be taken with-
out their placebo weeks; check
with a health provider or phar-
macist. Some pills now use a 24/4
combo, which also reduces the
chance of going more than seven
days off hormones.
What if a woman isn’t good
at remembering things? The Pill
was designed for housewives in
the 1950s, not busy college stu-
dents with different schedules
every day. Luckily, there are other
methods that require a lot less
work than The Pill.
In 2001, the FDA approved
two new methods of birth con-
trol, the patch and the vaginal
ring. They contain the same hor-
mones as The Pill, but they are
delivered in a different way. The
Patch is changed once a week and
the Ring once a month.
There are also effective meth-
ods that contain fewer or no
hormones: intrauterine devices,
or IUDs.
IUDs require no work once
they are inserted by a health
professional and last for five or
10 years, depending on the type.
IUDs are more effective than The
Pill and there is no user error.
Plus, they are totally reversible
when a woman decides she wants
to get pregnant.
They can be used by almost
all women, even if they have
never been pregnant, and do not
increase the risk of infertility.
Want to learn more about The
Pill or different options for con-
traception? Come talk to a coun-
selor at Campus Health Services
for free or check out Campus
Health’s Web site.

Campus tours are important in admissions and should
be more tailored to individual students’ interests
T
he UNC admissions office
is looking to revamp the
campus tour. This is a
great opportunity to create a
more personalized tour experi-
ence for prospective students.
The current general tour
covers the most popular
areas of main campus: the
Pit, Student Union, quads
and Lenoir Dining Hall. The
only academic building that
prospective students preview
is Murphy Hall — hardly an
accurate representation of
most classrooms that future
students will attend.
A more personalized approach
would allow tours to cater to stu-
dents’ individual interests.
Jesalyn Keziah, an admis-
sions ambassador, or tour
guide, agreed that a personal
approach to tours has the
potential to be very beneficial.

ernment needs to relearn some
financial basics if it wishes to
save an important source for
student financial aid.
Escheat funds, which repre-
sent unclaimed private prop-
erty, have been used to supple-
ment grants toward state-fund-
ed financial aid for students. At
first, only the interest earned
on the escheat fund was used
for this purpose.
But since 2004, the state
has been directly withdrawing
money from the principal to
pay for financial aid, instead of

Foundation is a huge bench-

Board of North Carolina.
The director will have the aid
of $250,000 included in Gov.
Bev Perdue’s first budget and
appropriated by the General
Assembly.
This is a start, but it’s unclear
if this amount can fairly com-

brutalized by the state.
The individual appointed
to the position is Charmaine
Fuller Cooper. She brings

At the end of the fiscal year,
the fund is expected to fall to
the $200 million limit that the
state treasurer has set. At that
threshold, no more money can
be spent for students, because
the state must be able to pay
those who claim their property.
This would decrease the
amount of money for student
financial aid, and in these rough
economic times, students have
become more dependent on aid
in order to pay for college.
The state should not have
been so financially irresponsi-
ble with the fund. As a conse-
quence, some students may not
be able to have an opportunity
to have a college education.

She is also the former executive

Cooper has an important
task ahead of her: developing a
plan to compensate the victims
of forced sterilization.
There are still numerous sur-
vivors of the eugenics program.
After all, it was only in 1974that
North Carolina stopped steril-
izing individuals that it deemed
“mentally ill, mentally retarded
or epileptic.”
The fact that these crite-
ria were considered inherent
grounds for forced steriliza-
tion as late as 1974 is abhor-
rent. Nearly three decades after
World War II and the horren-
dous policies carried out in
the name of eugenics, North
Carolina still sought to bestow
legitimacy to the practice.

applicants should have the
opportunity to preview what is
most important to them.
Andrew Parrish, assistant
director of undergraduate
admissions, said admissions
officials have not looked into
how the University directly
engages prospective students
“in a while.”
“What may not be unique
about our tour is that it’s simi-
lar to what every other univer-
sity does,” he said.
He stressed that high-caliber
prospective students want to be
at a university that has other
high-quality students to chal-
lenge and mold them.
As admissions officials con-
tinue their discussion on how
to enhance the campus tour
program, they would be wise to
develop a program that caters
the tour experience to the pro-
spective student.
General Assembly will focus
on how to solve this budgetary
problem.
After studying the issue, it
will propose certain recom-
mendations by May.
The committee should rec-
ommend that direct with-
drawals from the escheat
fund be stopped immediately.
Alternative sources for student
aid need to be found in case the
escheat fund runs out.
The state could look to under-
utilized existing scholarships
and grants, which may help
make up some of the shortfall.
If the situation is not rem-
edied, then the state risks
defaulting on one of its biggest
investments for the future: the
students.
Even worse, women were
disproportionately victimized
— by as much as a factor of 5
to 1, according to one of the
board’s last biennial reports.
In a press release, Cooper
said she was excited about
“bringing justice to so many
families and individuals affect-
ed by this tragic moment in
North Carolina history.” But it
was more than a moment. It was
nearly half a century — between
1929 and 1974.
Cooper has the resume but
not necessarily the resources to
begin an important and long-
overdue process of reconcilia-
tion. She has the power to devel-
op an effective organization that
can make a lasting impact on the
lives of surviving victims.
Let’s hope she meets her
mandate.
