A RUN FOR
THEIR MONEY
DTH/VERONICA BURKHART

UNC-system board members see little issue


with political contributions
By Haley McDougal
Senior Writer

SOURCE: FEC.GOV

DTH/JOS VALLE

UNC-system President Margaret Spellings has donated $24,700 to


political campaigns belonging to both parties since 2010 including
$2,700 to Republican Jeb Bushs presidential campaign in 2015 and $250
to Democrat Debbie Dingell for U.S. Congress in 2014. By comparison,
UNC-system Board of Governors Chairperson Lou Bissette has donated
$10,650 to Democratic and Republican campaigns since 1997. U.S. Sen.
Richard Burr, R-N.C., received $1,000 in 2015, and N.C. Sen. Phil Berger,
R-Guilford, received $500 in 2013. Bissette also donated $200 to former
U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., in 2006.

They say money talks and in the


UNC-system Board of Governors case, it
might have something to say.
According to the Federal Election
Commission, board members and leaders have donated thousands of dollars to
political campaigns, sometimes to the
politicians who appoint them.
Democracy N.C.s Executive Director
Bob Hall said the BOG and N.C.
General Assemblys long history has
contributed to what he calls a built-in
good ol boy system.
It does look like people are chosen
to serve on the boards because of their
coziness or familiarity with the legislators (and) legislative leaders, Hall
said.

Inherent political ties


When the state legislature was
reorganized in the 1970s, the Board of
Governors was created to monitor bud-

geting, spending and policy-making for


the entire system.
Ferrel Guillory, a UNC journalism
professor and director of the Program on
Public Life, said this means the majority
party in the legislature determines the
members of the board after a period of
lobbying and discussion.
Its an interesting process in which
people who want to serve on the Board
of Governors campaign for it among the
legislators, he said.
He said since members of the board
are usually civic-minded, actively
engaged people, their contributions to
campaigns have been a reality for more
than 40 years.
Mitch Kokai, spokesperson for the
right-leaning John Locke Foundation,
said ties among board members and
the political establishment are longstanding.
This has always been a case of legislative leaders appointing who they want
to be on the Board of Governors, Kokai
said. Now its just a case that the people
who are making these appointments are

farther away politically from the people


who are raising a stink about it.

Across party lines


There were 16 members of the board
who made a total of $827,449 in political contributions from 2007 to 2014,
according to a Democracy N.C. report.
And among the boards leadership,
donations have crossed party lines.
Former UNC-system president Tom
Ross gave $1,500 to Democratic candidates prior to assuming the presidency
in 2011.
His successor, Margaret Spellings, has
donated $24,700 to both Democratic
and Republican campaigns dating back
to 2010.
John Fennebresque, former chairperson, contributed $260,585 to campaigns from 2007 to 2014, according to
Democracy N.C.s report.
He resigned days after Spellings
election, and current Chairperson Lou

The IFC can apply to provide


food services in Carrboro.
By Zac Lowell
Staff Writer

On March 23, the Carrboro Board of


Aldermen unanimously approved a text
amendment to the land use ordinance that
would allow social organizations to provide food services to the community.
In the aftermath of the boards decision,
the Carrboro community remains divided
over the future location of a new InterFaith Council facility.
The passing of the text amendment now
allows them to apply to rezone a property
in Carrboro where meals could be served.
The IFC currently operates a food pantry at 110 W. Main St. The new facility,
called FoodFirst, would consolidate food
pantry and community kitchen services.
IFC Executive Director Michael Reinke
said around 300 people showed up at last
weeks public hearing.
He said the community is supportive
something for which everyone at IFC is
honored and grateful.
Reinke said it is important to raise both
food programs together, because as many
as 64 percent of all people in Chapel Hill
and Carrboro experiencing poverty who
are not students live within a one-mile
radius of the pantrys current location.
Data from 2007 and 2015 consistently
show a concentration of people regularly
using the IFCs food kitchen within a onemile radius of their location.
Reinke said the data shows a longstanding need on the part of the community and reinforces the IFCs imperative to
create a centralized services location.
Its pretty clear that being located
somewhere near where we are is pretty
important for the people we serve,
Reinke said.
He said consolidating services is an
important step toward making life more
convenient for those who regularly utilize
the IFCs food services and who might not be
able to commute to Chapel Hill for meals.

Businesses are just as outraged.


Nearly 90 companies, including some in
North Carolina, have demanded the repeal of
House Bill 2 in a formal letter.
The bill, signed into law by North Carolina
Gov. Pat McCrory on March 23, limits the ability
of local government to enact antidiscrimination
ordinances and requires individuals to use single-sex bathrooms based on their biological sex.
The Human Rights Campaign and Equality
NC organized the effort and are scheduled to
deliver the letter Thursday morning. Among
the signatures are a number of representatives
from American Airlines, Facebook, Twitter,
Apple, Google, Intel and Airbnb among others.
Many companies have also taken to social
media to express disapproval, tagging their
posts with #WeAreNotThis.
We believe in equal rights and equal treatment for all. This North Carolina law is misguided and wrong. #WeAreNotThis, Google tweeted.
Katie Cody, a spokesperson from American
Airlines, voiced similar disapproval in an email.
We believe no individual should be discriminated against because of gender identity
or sexual orientation. Laws that allow such discrimination go against our fundamental belief
of equality and are bad for the economies of the
states in which they are enacted.
Other N.C.-based companies have expressed
similar concerns.
McKinney CEO Brad Brinegar said the bill
is relevant in a creative industry since the best
creatives also care about the issues of inclusion.
The Durham-based creative advertising agency
signed a formal letter calling for repeal.
He said he anticipates the bill will affect the
companys ability to attract talent and clients.
Its such a competitive business were in, and
its small differences that matter, Brinegar said.

DTH/ NICHOLAS BAFIA


Protestors gather at the Peace and Justice Plaza Tuesday afternoon to speak out against House Bill 2.

New clients, he said, frequently ask about


the companys diversity policies before
they even consider a contract. Even though
McKinney has a strong commitment to diversity, Brinegar said he fears new clients might
be deterred from partnering with McKinney
because one of its offices is in North Carolina.
Brinegar said McKinney also relies on talent
generated by the states top universities. Whatever
affects students decisions to attend N.C. institutions will affect the talent base of the companies.
Student filmmaker Riley Reid said he doesnt
blame filmmakers like director Rob Reiner who
have said they wont film in North Carolina until
the legislation has been overturned.
By shooing the filmmakers away, youre taking away from North Carolinians, Reid said.
The state has already moved from a tax-

incentive model to a grant-based model for


films. Many filmmakers fear the new funding
model, combined with the anti-LBGT perception, will put greater strain on an alreadystruggling part of the states economy.
Guy Gaster, director of the N.C. Film Office,
said in an email that, because of its affiliation
with the state, the office cant comment on
matters of public policy.
But photographer and writer Alicia Stemper
who is married to the mayor of Carrboro, Lydia
Lavelle said one goal of her ongoing piece,
Vitamin O, is to depict the welcoming nature of
Orange County so outsiders consider relocating.
I cant wait to showcase diversity. It seems
that they cant wait to stifle it.

Businesses, politicians condemn North Carolina in wake of HB2


Polling shows only about 25 percent
of N.C. voters support the bill.
By Cole Stanley
Staff Writer

As the national debate over North Carolinas


House Bill 2 which bans nondiscrimination
ordinances intensifies, political and economic pressure against the state continues to build.
On March 28, Andrew Cuomo of New York
became the first governor to ban nonessential
travel to the Tar Heel state.
We will not stand idly by as misguided
legislation replicates the discrimination of the
past, Cuomo said in a statement.
Cuomo was later joined by Washington Gov.
Jay Inslee, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin and

mayors of major U.S. cities like Ed Lee of


San Francisco in banning nonessential travel
of public employees to North Carolina.
I believe strongly that we should be adding
more protections to prevent discrimination
against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
communities in the United States, not taking them away, said Lee, who in 2015 banned
travel to Indiana after the passage of a law that
allowed businesses to refuse service to LGBT
customers.
Some critics question the constitutionality of
the North Carolina laws denying localities the
ability to pass legislation to protect the rights of
members of the LGBT community or the provision preventing lawsuits over discrimination
from reaching state courts.
This bill is about so much more than
transgender persons in bathrooms, but the

legislature has tried to pitch it that way


because for ordinary voters not paying much
attention, simply keeping men out of womens restrooms seems sensible, said Steven
Greene, a political science professor at N.C.
State University.
Other critics of the law argue that it was
passed in an evasive or undemocratic way.
Polling shows only about 25 percent of N.C.
voters support (House Bill 2), but the legislature rushed it through without the possibility of
input from the public, said Ben Graumann, the
development manager for Equality NC.
The current backlash against the bill is
not only driven by grass-roots activism and
engagement of voters but also by businesses
nationwide.

NRG Effect could await in Houston


Making
3-pointers is
a struggle at
NRG Stadium
By Pat James
Sports Editor

Having grown up outside


Houston, North Carolina wing
Justin Jackson is familiar with NRG
Stadium, the home of the NFLs
Houston Texans.
He believes hes only attended
one football game at the arena. But
when the Tar Heels face Syracuse
on Saturday in the Final Four, the
stadium that seats 72,220 people
on Sundays will host a different
sport.
Itll be just like playing at
Syracuse, which is kind of fitting, I
guess, Jackson said. Youve got to
get used to the depth perception,
probably, which is (why) its good
were getting there early and well
have practice in the arena.
The extra shots could be crucial
for all four teams playing in this
weekends Final Four, as NRG
Stadium has historically posed a
threat for 3-point shooters. This led
basketball statistician Ken Pomeroy
to publish an article in 2015 called
The NRG effect.
Since opening in 2002, NRG
Stadium has hosted 16 college basketball games. The 32 teams that
have played in those contests have
shot a combined 32.3 percent on
3-pointers.
According to Pomeroy, those
results are about two standard
deviations off the expectation when
compared to those teams seasonlong 3-point shooting percentages.
These elements could favor UNC,
as the other three teams still left in

the NCAA Tournament rank in the


top 60 in 3-point attempt percentage which measures a teams reliance on 3-pointers.
According to KenPom.com,
Syracuse ranks 40th in the country
in that category, taking 42.2 percent of its field goals from beyond
the perimeter. North Carolina,
meanwhile, ranks 337th in the
nation in 3-point attempt percentage (26.8).

in school history if the season ended


today.
But the team has started finding
its stride from beyond the arc in the
NCAA Tournament, shooting 38.2
percent on 3-pointers.
As a shooter, you just try to get
used to the background in shootarounds, Paige said. Its weird, even
playing in Duke is different than
playing here because its a smaller
setting. Youve got to get used to

I think it might possibly give us


a slight advantage because we get
so many of our points at the basket,
said senior Marcus Paige.
Its easier to make a layup in a
different environment than it is a
three. Since we get so many of our
points around the basket we get a
lot of dunks and easy transition baskets that should help us.
The Tar Heels 32.1 3-point field
goal percentage would be the lowest

the lighting. In the ballroom at the


Bahamas, I dont think I shot very
well, so lets forget about that one.
The only thing that helps you
not worry about it is that they have
to shoot in the same environment
as you, he added. So if its going to
affect us, its probably going to affect
them as well. That kind of evens it
out.

House Bill 2 affects more New global aid center


could bring ideas home
than just bathrooms
Local governments are now
unable to set a minimum wage.
By Nicole Gonzalez
Staff Writer

Public outrage decrying violations of LGBT


rights from House Bill 2 has been widespread,
but less attention has been given to the bills
restrictions on local minimum wage controls.
The bill restricts cities and counties in the
state from raising the minimum wage set forth
by federal law.
Susan Romaine of the Orange County
Living Wage Project, a nonprofit that certifies Orange County employers that pay their
employees a living wage, said municipalities
in North Carolina have not had home rule in
the past.
Although Romaine said the bill will not
have a huge immediate impact on legislation,
she said it is becoming more important to find
ways to raise the wages in Chapel Hill and
Carrboro.
And in the wake of negative attention
surrounding the bills wage limitations and
rollback of LGBT rights, some businesses are
showing their disapproval.
North Carolina Representative Graig
Meyer, D-Orange, said he has heard of local
businesses refusing to allow Gov. Pat McCrory
and other legislative Republicans into their
businesses to show their rejection of House
Bill 2.
Weve seen the national business backlash
to this bill, Meyer said.

It creates a national business chill toward


the state of North Carolina that will have a
negative impact on local small businesses,
as well.
Meyer also said the bill will not let counties
create their own economic structure, but will
set forth a statewide one.
UNC senior Shannon Brien said the bill
restricts the economy of individual communities.
She said cities like New York and San
Francisco have already set their minimum
wages at $15 per hour.
Thats something that couldve been conceivable in a city like Chapel Hill or Carrboro
where the community is generally aware of
workers rights, Brien said.
By taking away a towns ability to raise the
minimum wage, youre really holding workers
hostage.
Romaine said legislation like House Bill 2
shows that residents cannot turn to state or
local governments for help in providing a living wage for workers.
She said organizations like the Orange
County Living Wage will have to step in.
We really do need more and more of these
voluntary certification programs to recognize
those businesses that are doing it themselves,
Romaine said.
Romaine said the rent in Chapel Hill and
Carrboro is high, and without living wages
many people in the community will have to
move away from the area.
We have got to do something about paying
these workers a living wage, she said.

The center might get formal


approval as early as this summer.
By Blake Hoarty
Staff Writer

The School of Social Work is developing


an interdisciplinary research center that
will specialize in giving aid to countries
with limited resources.
Professor Gina Chowa said the school has
worked in five countries so far, including
South Africa and Zambia.
Weve had a team that works in different countries on economic security, health
disparities, education, mental health, HIV/
AIDS, Chowa said. So we already have relationships in these five countries, so this center is really formalizing that and formalizing
the partnerships.
Carol Tresolini, vice provost for academic
initiatives, said the centers approval is a twostep process.
Chowa has been given permission to plan
the program and will later submit a request to
establish the center, Tresolini said.
Jack Richman, dean of the School of Social
Work, said the research center plans to have a
global focus.
Were really trying to take some of the
technology and information that we have
here, figure out what works over there, test
it, see if its valuable for them to address
some of the poverty problems that they have
over there, he said. And what we learn, we
bring back here and use it to address our own
problems, certainly, in the area of vulnerable

populations and impoverished populations.


Richman said Chowa is a prominent
researcher in international social work.
Shes looking at sustainability. Shes looking at poverty and education, alleviation of
poverty, educating young people in sustainable kinds of positions where they can move
forward, he said.
Richman said this project is important
because the School of Social Work has a duty
to work with vulnerable populations.
Theyre dealing with HIV, food insecurity,
poverty, huge sanitation issues, family planning, and its an important part of the world, he
said. Were a global university, so its important
because these people need assistance.
Richman said research abroad may help in
the United States, too.
Ultimately its going to help not only the
population were working with whether
its South Africa or Kenya but it also has
the benefit of bringing that information back
home and seeing how that works here, he
said. Its really reciprocal.
Richman said the UNC-system Board of
Governors will be voting on the approval
around the beginning of the fiscal year.
Our hope is that well get approval around
the beginning of this fiscal year, which would
be after July 1, Richman said.
Richman said the research center will
attract positive recognition for UNC.
We will be making a major impact on
important problems globally, he said. The
name of UNC will be plastered on all that we
do out there.

Conservative writer Ben Shapiro speaks, students walk out


Shapiro was invited
to campus by the UNC
College Republicans.
By Natalie Conti and Acy Jackson
Staff Writers

On Wednesday night, Ben


Shapiro told a crowd of 450 people
that white privilege doesnt exist.
Shapiro, the editor-in-chief of
The Daily Wire and a Harvard Law
School graduate, delivered a lecture
called The Lefts Obsession With
Race in Carroll Hall.
Shapiro was invited to speak by
the UNC College Republicans as part
of the Young Americas Foundation
Fred R. Allen lecture series.
Before beginning, Shapiro told
the crowd that walking out demonstrates closed-mindedness.
I hope that nobody walks out
I hope that nobody shouts down
because this is a free country, and
Im hoping to have a fun conversation with everybody, he said.
About five minutes into the
speech, students silently walked out.
Let us leave this space that only

serves to attack the existence of the


other, said Charity Lackey, a student
and the organizer of the walkout,
outside. Lackey said she was walking out because Shapiro did not have
respect for her or her opinion.
He has fundamental beliefs, ideologies and systems that challenge my
humanity and many other peoples
humanities who are here, she said.
After the walkout, Lackey and the
other students who walked out gathered in front of Carroll Hall.
Lackey led the group of students
in chants of, Black Lives Matter,
and, Can you see us now?
The crowd outside snapped to
Lackeys words of disappointment in
the UNC College Republicans and
their speakers lack of compassion.
These are not conservative lecturers, Lackey said. This is hate speech.
Lackey said the walkout was done
to tell Shapiro and the UNC College
Republicans they are not willing to
engage in a discussion with them.
We can walk out of a space and
show that we will not engage; we
will not give you that satisfaction.
I will not waste my energy because
it took a lot of energy to sit in there
for five minutes to be quite honest,

I hope that nobody


walks out Im hoping
to have a fun conversation with everybody.
Ben Shapiro
Editor-in-chief of The Daily Wire

Lackey said.
Back inside, Shapiros lecture provided a harsh critique of the ideology
of the left. He said the speech might
make people uncomfortable, and he
didnt care.
We are going to debunk and talk
about five of the lefts favorite terms
on campus, and these are all stupid
and counterproductive terms, he
said. The first is diversity, the second
is white privilege, the third is trigger
warnings, the fourth is micro-aggressions and the fifth is safe spaces.
Frank Pray, chairperson of UNC
College Republicans, said he liked
what Shapiro had to say.
He presented the conservative
viewpoint on a whole host of issues,
mostly related to race, very expertly.
Part of Shapiros speech focused
on the nonexistence of white privi-

If you are a black person and
you feel like you are not succeeding
in life, its a lot easier to say white
privilege is responsible for my nonsuccess than maybe I made some
bad decisions, Shapiro said.
Shapiro concluded the evening by
saying actions are more important
than thoughts and feelings.

Be decent to other people, and


you really dont have to worry about
any of these other problems, he said.
Just continue to be decent to your
fellow human being and recognize
that they have basic rights to free

you do, and everything will be OK.

Chemistry grows in Carolina Performing Arts


womens lacrosse triples donations in year
WOMENS LACROSSE

NORTH CAROLINA 15
VIRGINIA TECH
6
By John Bauman
Staff Writer

Jenny Levy knows the


secret to developing team
chemistry.
While many coaches stay
up at night trying to bring
their teams together, the
North Carolina womens
lacrosse coach knows how
crucial team chemistry is to
success.
We work on chemistry all
year round, she said. And
I think it can be the margin during tough times and
tough games.
After a four-game road
stretch, No. 3 UNC has
had plenty of time to bond
from spending hours
together on long road trips to
waiting in an airport after a
delayed flight.
Winning also helps.
On Wednesday evening,
the Tar Heels (9-2, 3-0 ACC)
returned to Chapel Hill and
took another step forward in
developing the teams chemistry in a 15-6 win over Virginia
Tech at Fetzer Field.
Part of a teams chemistry
is its ability to mix and match

pieces without losing anything in the finished product.


The Tar Heels checked that
box against the Hokies (5-9,
0-4 ACC).
After a two-goal performance off the bench in a win
at Boston College, sophomore
Ela Hazar stepped up again
on Wednesday, scoring a
career-high four goals for the
Tar Heels.
She came off the bench
last game and played a really
great game for us, junior
Molly Hendrick said.
Weve been clicking a
lot on offense, getting the
chemistry with everyone,
so shes really been working
hard.
North Carolinas ability to
flourish, even with new contributors, shows the strength
of the Tar Heels chemistry.
On offense, Hazar is stepping up as a goal-scorer. On
defense, Levy was especially
proud of her backup blue
team on Wednesday, which
shut down Virginia Tech to
close the game.
We were really happy to
see their efforts on the field
tonight successful and
part of what we are doing,
Levy said.
North Carolina is in the
midst of a six-game winning
streak, and the teams chemistry is peaking at the right

We dont want to
be the best we are

time.
Its just getting so much
better, which is so important
at this time of the season
sophomore Marie McCool
said.
We all have each others backs and all trust each
other, and thats whats
really important.
As a veteran on the team,
Hendrick knows just how
important that bond is.
I think we can always get
better at it, she said. But I
think it is definitely growing
week by week, which is awesome
We dont want to be the
best we are now we want to
be the best we are at the end
of the season. So we are just
going to keep working.

In one year, Carolina


Performing Arts tripled its
donations. By fall 2017, CPA
will gain two more performance spaces.
According to Susin Seow,
CPAs director of development, CPA has raised $3.27
million in gifts so far in its
fiscal year. At this time in
2015, Seow said they received
$755,000 in donations.
This increase in CPA donations was a targeted effort,
Seow said: The arts organization needs more money
to accommodate large-scale
construction projects.
Hill Hall is undergoing
renovation, and eventually
were going to be doing programming there, she said.
And then in addition to Hill
Hall, were going to be opening The Core the space
that used to be University
Square.
According to the UNC
Division of Finance and
Administration, the Hill Hall
renovation is budgeted at
about $19.7 million dollars.
Sid Stone, director of the
Department of Construction
Management, said that
there is no average cost for
the projects they develop
because each project varies
in size and length.

Projects like this can go


from under $500,000 to tens
of millions of dollars, he said.
Some of the money probably
comes from the University,
some from donations, some
from elsewhere.
In the March 23 Board
of Trustees meeting, David
Routh, vice chancellor for
university development, said
that University donations
are up across the board with
donations to the athletics
department increasing 47
percent. Donations for CPA
increased 334 percent.
In addition to the
increased donations, CPA
has also received significant funding from both the
University and from foundations like the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.
In addition to recognizing that were opening two
brand new spaces, Chancellor
(Carol) Folt announced a
commitment of $4 million to
the arts at CPA at The Core,
Seow said. We have leadership at the chancellors level,
and we have board members
who are showing their leadership by making generous
commitments to CPA now
that were in the quiet phase
of the campaign.
Amy Russell, director of
programming at CPA, said
that the increased funding
will not impact the amount or

the quality of performances


held by CPA, but will instead
allow performances to be
held in more locations and be
more accessible to students.
It will really allow us to
explore some new genres
and artistic disciplines that
we havent explored at all or
havent dived into in ways
that weve wanted to in the
past, she said. Were focusing on experiences that feel
participatory in different
ways.
Seow said that these new
participatory spaces will allow
students to experience performances in ways that before
werent possible.
What many people may
not know because at
Carolina we dont toot our
own horn is that we are
really one of the countrys
leading performing arts
presenters, and whats also
unique about us is that students are consistently representing a third of our audience, she said.
The other thing that is
unique about CPA, too, and
why people want to submit
private gifts at this time, is
that were not just bringing
people to Memorial Hall,
but were really trying to
take the arts outside to the
campus classroom.

Sweeney Todd kills it onstage at Paul Green Theatre


By Maggie Mouat
Staff Writer

Cannibalism, blood, revenge


and love all have one thing in
common Sweeney Todd.
In an adaptation created by Christopher Bond,
PlayMakers Repertory
Company will premiere the
musical thriller, Sweeney
Todd: The Demon Barber of
Fleet Street.
Max Bitar, a 2015 UNC
graduate, said the play is the
best of both worlds, leading
the audience through a wide
range of emotions and keeping them on their toes.
The great thing about this
show is that it is a seamless
blend of hysterical comedy,
hysterical black comedy as
well as intense melodrama,
he said. It is not going to be
something that is just funny
and light-hearted, but its also

In an official statement on
March 24, the NBA said, We
are deeply concerned that
this discriminatory law runs
counter to our guiding principles of equality and mutual
respect and do not yet know

our ability to successfully host

FOOD FIRST

FROM PAGE 1

Business concerns
But there are some business owners in Carrboro who
have expressed concerns
about concentrating the IFCs
food services on Main Street.
Some say the plan isnt the
best for the town.
According to Reinke, this
concern comes from a misunderstanding of the IFCs plan,
which is different today than
it was six months ago.
Were not in the interest of
being bad neighbors, he said.
We believe that what were
trying to do is make the community a better place.
Reinke encourages anyone,
especially business owners,
who have these concerns to
come to the kitchen and share
a meal with those who regularly attend lunches and dinners.
Reinke said around 80
people are served daily
and survey data shows that
55 percent of the kitchens
patrons use the kitchen at
least once a week.
Wallace Nettles has lived
and worked in Chapel Hill for
40 years.
Originally from Pittsboro,
Nettles said he moved to
Chapel Hill after high school
and worked for the University
until leaving due to a disability in 2011.
He goes to the IFC community kitchen to supplement the food hes able to buy
with the money he gets from
disability compensation.
Nettles said hes heard criticism regarding the potential
location for FoodFirst, including at the March 23 meeting,
but said he supports the consolidation of the food pantry
and community kitchen.
Nettles said people arent
coming to the IFC unless they
really need to, and that learning to use available services
can be hard for many.
Most people, whether
youre poor or not, you still
got pride, he said.
Its hard to ask for a handout. The Bible says, dont be
ashamed if you need help,
seek it. Thats what Ive done.

The towns vision


For the future, Carrboros
government wants to provide
comprehensive, wrap-around
services to those in need in
cooperation with Chapel
Hill and Orange County. The
conversation, said Board of
Aldermen member Randee
Haven-ODonnell, is ultimately about more than just
the IFC and FoodFirst.
Haven-ODonnell said
continuing to create division in the community isnt
the answer. Referencing an
attendee of last Tuesdays
hearing, she said calling for a
boycott of local businesses is
uncalled for.
Carrboros not made of
big corporate businesses,
she said. These are all small
business folks. This is their
livelihood.
Board of Aldermen mem-

SEE THE SHOW

not going to be some heavy


tragedy.
The play consists of 20
performers and features
actors from many different
backgrounds ranging from
Broadway to television.
Producing Artistic Director
Vivienne Benesch said the
plays diverse cast generates a
wealth of talent to bring the
musical to life.
I have to say, in this case,
we have an amazing combination of our own resident
PlayMakers Company actors,
graduate students from our
professional training program, a number of undergrads and some fantastic local
talent, she said.
We also have four guest
artists coming from New
York, as well as our two leads,
David St. Louis and Annie
Golden, two Broadway veterans who know their way

around a Broadway musical.


Benesch said the roles
of Sweeney Todd and Mrs.
Lovett were the most soughtafter roles.
For many people, Sweeney
Todd and Mrs. Lovett are
bucket list goals for musical
theater actors, she said. Not
to be ironic about what the
play is about, but its just so
meaty. It is meaty, challenging
work, and actors just love biting into it.
But Sweeney Todd has
taken a lot of collaborative
work to bring to life.
From casting the show
to dreaming up the shows
appearance by creating sets,
costumes and lighting with
her design team, director Jen
Wineman has worked hard to
make the musical a reality.
For me, a lot of it is about
that there is some literal
churning up and spitting

and Dow Chemical which


has several factories in
the state have also condemned the discriminatory
measures contained within
the bill.
Dow is disappointed in
the signing of (N.C. House
Bill 2). We will continue to
call for a comprehensive federal framework to ensure fairness for all, Dow Chemical
said in a statement.
As national media attention continues to turn toward
North Carolina, the list of

business leaders speaking out


in opposition to House Bill 2
grows larger.
Major businesses
like Bank of America and
American Airlines havent
just come out in opposition theyre contemplating pulling a considerable
amount of their business
operations out of the state,
said Graumann.
This has the potential to
be not only a public image
disaster for North Carolina
but an economic nightmare.

Greene said the number


of protests in the days since
the bill was signed into law
show that the people of
North Carolina both think
this law will hurt the state
and plan to hold legislators
accountable.
Given the national coverage and pushback already
from businesses and other
states and municipalities, this
is clearly not good for North
Carolina, said Greene.

ber Bethany Chaney said the


next step for the community
is to keep engaging with the
issues being presented, and
for the IFC and the board
to keep working with businesses.
Haven-ODonnell said a
big problem with food services is the invisibility phenomenon, in which people
arent recognized before or
after theyre fed.
She said she doesnt think
the current model is enough.
Haven-ODonnell cited
Dignity Village, a city-sanctioned housing encampment
in Portland, Oregon, as a
potential model to follow.
She said programs need to
be expanded and interwoven
to better address homelessness in the community and
provide more reliable services
to people outside the sphere
of food relief.
Were not close to the kind
of comprehensive plan of
services I feel are dignified,
she said.
We can do better in
Chapel Hill, Carrboro and
Orange County. We know
what it takes: It takes coordination and collaboration.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Board Member Marty


Kotis said he has donated
tens of thousands of dollars
over the years, but he said
there is rarely any political speech within the board
meetings.
He said the topics they
cover arent necessarily liberal
or conservative issues.
You know, its funny. I
think I get attacked from all
sorts of people with different
backgrounds I dont know
that its lumped just to the
left, he said.
I dont think a lot of people that criticize me being on
the Board of Governors even
understand what I have to say
in the meetings or how my
votes are cast.

Though he wasnt

that he didnt think there is

I believe it is a question of
whether contributions might

The ethical debate


While it may be expected
for board members to be
people in big money circles,
Hall said problems arise
when policies stop benefiting
the broader public such as
raising tuition.
Hall said leaders like former UNC-system president
C.D. Spangler Jr. who has
given more than $100,000
to both Democratic and
Republican campaigns to
date tended to try to counter the public scrutiny of
such policies.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Emily Yue, emyue@live.unc.edu

nough. Just enough.


Politics on campus
have gotten out of
hand. Well, at least among
those who are active in campus
political and activism groups.
Every time I see a story
involving protesters or a political group on this campus, I
zone out. I ignore the cause
they are fighting for and
instead focus on the actions
conducted by these individuals.
Wednesday nights UNC
College Republican event with
Ben Shapiro is a textbook
example of this.
Rather than staying to hear
Shapiros points regarding
race in America, protesters
purposefully filled Carroll
Hall only to walk out of the
room not ten minutes into his
presentation and protest his
arrival outside.
While this left a quarter of
Carroll 111 empty, it was quickly filled with people who were
waiting in line to attend. Their
efforts were null.
Yet it is not just one side at
fault. During my four years at
UNC, I have seen conservatives claim discrimination over
not being invited to a dinner focused on non-political
issues, protesters derail Board
of Governors meetings and a
town hall focused on solving
race issues on campus come to
a halt as students rattled off a
list of unrealistic demands.
This is, of course, not to
ignore the score of controversial student voices who have
shoved political points down
peoples throats in protests and
numerous publications.
But what has been the
end game of this? What has
resulted from acts like this?
The only positive result from
any of these actions has been
Chancellor Carol Folt and
other administrators met privately with protesters regarding race, and even then we do
not know when and if this will
result in anything significant.
Plus, these acts are only relevant in the short term. Sure,
you can get a spot on WRAL
and blow up Overheard at
UNC and Yik Yak. But what
is the end result? Most of the
time, the only remains of such
acts are hostile threads on
Overheard.
Also during my four years
here, including time in leadership roles in two different conservative organizations, I have
yet to see a protest produce
solid results.
This is by no means the
fault against the idea of free
speech and protest, but rather
the absurdity and immaturity
of many political actors on
campus.
Such as the case of
last night, walking out of
Shapiros event will absolutely not produce change; for
campus conservatives, it will
likely enforce a stereotype of
liberals and like-groups are
intolerant against opposing
views. I did not agree with
much of what Shapiro said
but I found Shapiro worth
listening to as well as a
worthwhile speaker.
Raising hell may be fun, but
turning the University into a
hostile arena over which political side is best is not helpful.
Universities should be places
where ideas are discussed and
opposing ideas respected, not
where views are shoved or
silenced by a select few.

EDITORIAL

Be wary of censorship
Censorship leads
to many harmful,
scary precedents.

ast week, Trump


2016 was chalked
in many places
across Emory Universitys
campus. The backlash was
swift. Students called for
an immediate investigation. Emory administrators
responded quickly, saying
they would review security
footage in order to find the
perpetrators to then execute disciplinary protocol.
In consistency with the
free speech editorial we
wrote in the fall, we write
this in the hopes of criticizing this kind of censorship
and policing culture often

taken by college administration in response to


speech that could be construed as hate speech.
We certainly are not condoning the type of rhetoric
that Donald Trump espouses or the type of politics
that he inspires, but rather
are calling for a more longterm strategy for protecting
the rights of the marginalized. As many legal experts
have noted, the type of
precedent this Orwellian
approach to censoring and
stifling speech however
advantageous in the short
term it may be will come
to disproportionately affect
students ability to voice
opinions later. If the chalkings were anti-University
administration, students

have now inadvertently


created a protocol under
which that too can be stifled by Emory officials.
People may support
Emory officials usage of
security footage to punish
students. But we must be
reminded of UNC administrators installation of security cameras to monitor the
Silent Sam statue to understand the danger in granting our governing powers
increased ability to police
and monitor our speech.
While Emory officials
should be commended for
taking an active role advocating for their students,
censorship is a loaded tactic. We hope both students
and administrators understand the implications.

The ght against HB2


Citizens, towns and
businesses are just
in fighting HB2.

n light of the swift


passing of House
Bill 2, known as the
Public Facilities Privacy
and Security Act, the
North Carolina legislature
has ruled that multipleuse restroom facilities may
only be occupied by those
of a single biological sex.
In practice, this means
those who are designated
male or female at birth
must use restrooms that
match the sex as listed on
their birth certificate.
Well, in actual practice, this is absurd. The
General Assembly has

effectively made the


decision to discriminate
against trans and gender
non-conforming people.
This is a huge mistake
for Gov. Pat McCrory.
Numerous private businesses and town councils
have put their foot down
to such discriminatory
state intervening.
In Chapel Hill, local
businesses have taken the
initiative to publicize inclusive policies surrounding
restroom use, like Lindas
Bar and Grill and Sup
Dogs. The Carrboro Board
of Aldermen also released
a statement after an emergency session stating their
opposition to the bill.
The town of Chapel Hill
followed suit in a state-

ment released on Monday.


Major companies such
as IBM, Yahoo and Apple
have also expressed opposition to the bill. Their
solidarity with North
Carolinians who may use
their products or work in
their stores has merit. But
we should be skeptical of
big business and capital
and their motives for taking
such a stance.
Still, the swift response
from business, individuals
and town councils is positively heart warming.
There is an increasing number of North
Carolinians opposing
House Bill 2 in favor of
continuing business, but
lets not overlook the
human aspect, as well.

Woke Marcus

Shapir-go away

Last week, one Michael


William Krzyzewski lectured
a player from the
University of Oregon for shooting a 3-pointer
in the last
seconds of game play (the
player had been instructed
to shoot by his coach).
Then Coach K lied and said
that he hadnt. In case you
werent sure already, clearly
Coach K is a butt.

Marcus Paige is clearly one


of the smartest and most
thoughtful athletes in college
sports, so we
were happy to
hear him make
the case for the payment
of players for their work.
And, as we could expect, he
made it thoughtfully, carefully and humbly. Still, as he
said, the NCAA is antiquated. It needs change.

Right-wing commentator
Ben Shapiro came to speak
Wednesday. He
had his time to
use free speech
and now we are
using ours: Shapiro, we would rather have
Nickelback come to campus
than you. Learn to better
see outside your privileged
bubble, but if you dont, you
can still speak. We just wont
waste our time listening.

This is NPR

Aint no rest

The greatest evil

National Public Radio is


one of the best things this
country has ever
done. Sure, going to the moon
was cool, but it
pales in comparison to NPRs Tiny Desk
or All Things Considered.
Also, it is a public radio station and as public school
socialist students, we have
an affinity for public goods
and services.

There are no more breaks


until the end. Nothing to
look forward
to but the soul
crushing exam
season. The
stress of finals,
final papers, final projects
and final efforts is encroaching. But relax. At the end of
the storm is a rainbow. Soon
it will be summer. And that
means waking up at 8 a.m.
for work or for internships.

Books are so great, so damn


expensive, but so great. We
curse capitalism for taking
this wonderful source of
information and
needlessly charging us expensive prices. Dont get us
wrong, we will still read and
still buy books from our local book store we do not
blame books we blame
the invisible hand.

TO THE EDITOR:
Today students will
vote in a student government special election
to fill Student Congress
vacancies. I am writing to
encourage all undergraduate students who live off
campus to cast their votes
for Travis Broadhurst.
Travis has served in
Congress for the past year
and has been an advocate
for the responsible use of
student fees on the Finance
Committee. He led Congress
efforts relating to academic
affairs, and his strong relationships with leaders from
a multitude of student
organizations and university
departments uniquely position him as the best candidate on todays ballot when
it comes to the job of representing students interests.
After my three terms as a
member of Congress, I can
say that there are few members of student government
who are as engaged and dedicated as Travis. He takes his
responsibilities seriously, but
is always approachable. He is
engaged with a wide range of
campus commitments and
always follows through.
Outside of Congress,
Travis has worked extensively within the national
program of the Boy Scouts of
America to bring young people to the table as decision
makers and has opposed the
organizations anti-LGBT
policies. As a member of the
Residence Hall Association,
he led efforts to bring a statewide conference to UNC
and then managed logistics
once our campus had been
awarded the bid.
Because of his qualities as someone who can
mobilize representatives to
address the concerns of students, I hope you will join
me in supporting Travis
Broadhursts campaign for
Student Congress.

DTH article shed light


onto drug abuse
TO THE EDITOR:
I found the article,
Adjusting to life in recovery by Cain Twyman in
your March 29 issue to be
extremely relevant and valuable. Substance abuse is a
topic that does not get discussed enough at Carolina
or on college campuses, and
it seems that people have a
much easier time ignoring it
than confronting it head-on.
The National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism states that
about four in five American
college students drink
alcohol. And according
to a Columbia University
study, almost half of fulltime college students in the
U.S. binge drink or abuse
prescription drugs. Not surprisingly, college students
make up high percentages
of people who abuse drugs
and alcohol, largely due to

high stress, peer pressure


and curiosity.
The problem is, these
struggles can have horrible
lasting effects on students
futures. Many people who
develop drug and alcohol
problems in college end up
having to deal with these
issues for the rest of their
lives, which puts them
at a much greater risk of
problems such as depression, anxiety, divorce and
homelessness all because
of what they thought was
fun or cool back in college. It is our job to help
combat this issue, and I
applaud your publication
for publicizing the Carolina
Recovery Program and its
mission on our campus.

The need to hear new


opinions respectfully
TO THE EDITOR:
I congratulate the
Carolina Union Board of
Directors for their letter
urging the Tar Heel community both to confront
healthy conversation that
allows for an array of perspectives and opinions
while avoiding marginalizing groups of our fellow
students. I suggest that
we draw a line between the
content and the delivery of
our opinions. In terms of
content, Ive encountered
other people who have
ideas that I disagree with,
even find obnoxious or reprehensible. They have every
right to hold these opinions, to express them and
to assemble peacefully with
those who agree. The sky is
pretty much the limit; we
dont owe anyone anything
in terms of the substance of
our beliefs.
In terms of delivery,
however, we do owe each
other. We owe each other
mutual respect: avoiding
attacks on their motives,
their personal characteristics, their integrity. We
need to listen to others
the same as we want to be
heard. Even, as I find in my
neighborhood, Dook fans.

The real way to help


people in bathrooms
TO THE EDITOR:
By signing HB2, Gov. Pat
McCrory invents a threat
where there is none to distract from the true scourge
upon our restrooms.
In public buildings
all over North Carolina,
women and children are
subjected to the devastation
inflicted by single-ply toilet
paper. If McCrory were
truly committed to preserving our public restrooms as
safe and comfortable spaces
for all, he would decree that
two-ply be the law of the
land.
