Chancellor Folt announced $20 million for scholarships

By Leah Moore
Staff Writer

At the University Day ceremony Tuesday, Chancellor Carol

Folt announced a campaign
called Give For Good that aims
to raise $20 million for scholarships and grants in the next year.
Were just launching a matching campaign, which is called
Give for Good: Scholarship
Challenge, and this is thanks, in
large part, to an incredibly generous gift by a donor alum who
prefers to remain anonymous,
she said.
The anonymous graduate

donated $10 million to the

Carolina Covenant, which helps
low-income students graduate
without debt, and $10 million to
the Morehead-Cain Foundation,
which awards merit-based scholarships. Folt said UNC has been
challenged to raise another $20
million for scholarships in the
next year.
University Day celebrates the
initial laying of the cornerstone
of Old East, UNCs first building, on Oct. 12, 1793. This was
the Universitys 223rd birthday.
This year, the celebration was
moved to Oct. 11 to allow for
observance of Yom Kippur today.

Emergency
personnel testify
in Kania trial
Several previously
unreleased photos
were introduced.
By Sara Kiley Watson
Staff Writer

The Chandler Kania trial

continued Tuesday with testimonies from state troopers,
firefighters, a paramedic and
a forensic scientist.
Authorities say Kania was
driving drunk on the wrong
side of Interstate 85 in July
2015 when he was involved
in a head-on collision, killing
three people and injuring a
fourth.
Kania pleaded not guilty
to three counts of second
degree murder and one count
of reckless driving, though he
pled guilty to other charges.
Capt. Joel Massey of the
Orange Rural Fire Department
testified about removing the
one surviving victim, a nineyear-old, from the Suzuki that
Kania allegedly hit.
I directed the two guys
with me to begin patient care,

moved to the ground, Massey

said. I checked the pulses of
the three victims in the car,
but did not feel any.
He said the driver of the
Jeep, Kania, was conscious,
breathing, yelling and honking his horn.
The driver was intentionally blowing his horn and yelling at us, he said. He kept
yelling, Is someone going to
fucking help me?
After removing Kania from
the Jeep and putting him on
the backboard, Massey said he
removed the three victims who
had not survived Darlene
McGee, Felecia Harris and
Harris six-year-old granddaughter Jahnice Beard and
placed them in body bags.
Kania was treated by
Orange County EMS paramedic Justin Tuttle. Tuttle
said he took a blood sample
from Kania while in the
ambulance, and Kania was
cooperative about the test.

Folt and Stephen Farmer,

vice provost for enrollment and
undergraduate admissions,
announced new names for grants
and fellowships to honor the history of the University.
The new names of the scholarships and grants, which will be
effective in the 2017-18 school
year, recognize 21 people who
changed UNC.
These people honor our
University with their contributions, and it gives us a chance
to use by example and teach by
example about these people,
what these brave people did, how
they paved the way for others

and set examples that continue

to this day to inspire us, Folt
said. We really believe that these
scholarships bearing their names
will motivate other deserving
students each year to succeed in
their own personal journeys at
Carolina.
The 21 honorees include
Sallie Walker Stockard, the first
woman to graduate from UNC;
Johnston Blakeley, the first graduate to die in action in the U.S.
Armed Forces; Henry Owl, the
first American Indian student
admitted to the University; and

House Bill 2 became a large point of contention during the Tuesday N.C. gubernatorial
debate between incumbent Gov. Pat McCrory
and his challenger, Attorney General and
Democratic candidate Roy Cooper.
In the debate, at the UNC-TV station in
Research Triangle Park, Cooper wasted no
time jumping into the controversial piece of
state legislation during his opening statement.
We need a good jobs governor, not a House
Bill 2 governor, he said.
McCrory defended HB2 and said liberals
and Cooper are to blame for starting the problems surrounding the law.
He said the local government in Charlotte
is at fault for passing an ordinance on Feb.
22 providing nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people. McCrory said the
ordinance forced public and private sector
employees to enforce gender neutrality in
bathrooms.
He said the ordinance changed conventional definitions of gender and in North Carolina,
men will go to mens restrooms and women
will go to womens restrooms.
David McLennan, professor of political science at Meredith College, said this is a closely
watched race.
This is one that most national observers
have pointed to for a year and a half now, saying this is going to be one of the closest races
for governor in 2016, he said.
The polls are close, with Cooper leading
McCrory by 4.6 percentage points in the Real
Clear Politics polling average.
Each candidate accused the other of focusing too much on social issues to divert attention away from economic issues.
All Cooper talks about is social issues,
because thats all hes got, McCrory said. Lets

Chapel Hill working to retain recent graduates

Recent graduates are moving
away from Chapel Hill to
cities like Durham.
By Megan Royer
Senior Writer

UNC student Mason Lantay wants

Chapel Hill to be the next Silicon Valley.
Lantay, a junior, has lived in Chapel
Hill for 15 years and considers it home,
but he is concerned that many recent
UNC graduates are moving away once
they graduate.
Durhams expanding entrepreneurial opportunities and more affordable
housing market draw many young professionals to the area, tipping the balance for those trying to choose between
Chapel Hill and Durham.
Chapel Hill town staff, the University
and many private businesses have been
working to make Chapel Hill an appealing place for young graduates.
A lot of cities face what we call brain
drain, or a loss of the younger population, as our population has aged, said
Dwight Bassett, economic development
officer for the town of Chapel Hill.
Nancy Oates, Chapel Hill Town
Council member, said keeping grads in
Chapel Hill is the eternal question.
Were concerned because we recognize the benefit of grads staying in the
area, and the talent in which they provide, she said. Wed like to keep them
in town and make (Chapel Hill) their
home.

Startup culture
Lantay, who is taking a semester off

from classes, lives in Durham and works

as an intern for a startup software development company.
During my search process, I looked
mostly for internships specifically in
Durham because I considered it to be
the place I wanted to live if I was going
to stay in North Carolina after graduation, he said.
After comparing Chapel Hill,
Durham and Raleigh, Lantay said
Durham seemed to be the clear winner.
(Durham) is where the American
Underground, one of the seven Google
Tech hubs in the U.S., and the Startup
Factory, one of the best startup accelerators in the U.S., are located, Lantay said.
Lantay said there were plenty of jobs
in Durham for the startup community,
as well as affordable housing.

It is the city where the college

graduate community thrives most in the
Triangle, he said.
Chapel Hill Town Council Member
Michael Parker said a lot of startups
often leave Chapel Hill when they reach
a certain size because they have trouble
finding affordable office space.
He said the town is trying to fix this
problem, and has doubled its funding
for Launch Chapel Hill, a startup accelerator on Rosemary Street.
Judith Cone, vice chancellor for innovation, entrepreneurship and economic
development at UNC, said Launch has
been a valuable resource for many startups.
Launch is an accelerator, but you

body, simply noticing different

sensations or feelings.
Thats one of the first things
that I think people tend to
notice, especially that body
scan exercise, Chupkowski
said. People say, I tried it
before bed and I just like only
did half of it because I fell
asleep! Were like, Great!
Walking meditation, which
Tatham explained as being
aware of sensations within and
around you while in nature,
is another technique that is
taught by the CAPS classes and
the Carolina Meditation Club.
Chupkowski said these
exercises can be used in
ones daily life. For example,
during the trip from her car
to her office, she noticed she
felt stressed, so she practiced

mindfulness meditation by
focusing on the feeling of her
feet hitting the ground and the
motion of her legs.
The definition I learned for
mindfulness is paying attention
on purpose in the present
moment non-judgmentally,
Chupkowski said. I think
of meditation as the formal
practice of mindfulness.
While there are meditation
classes and a club at UNC that
teach the formal practice of
mindfulness, theres always
the option of meditating
independently. There are
numerous meditation apps
or podcasts available at ones
fingertips all aimed at
finding ones Zen.

on Halloween was the school

parade around the gym?
Remember when Halloween
was spent in the comforting
company of a chaperoning
parent? Remember being
given free candy by strangers?
Dont you miss that?!
Throughout elementary
and middle school, Halloween
was all about suiting up and
stashing serious amounts of
that sugary good-good. Im
talking Smarties, Kit Kats,
Gushers, Airheads, Reeses,
Jolly Ranchers and Ring Pops.
All of these goods are things I
could now purchase for myself,
but the liberty to demand free
food and then actually receive

it was special and fleeting.

The post-consumption
sugar high and the late night
sugar coma were great for
me and a nightmare for my
parents. The look in my eyes
upon getting my grubby little
hands on some candy was
probably the scariest sight to
be seen on Halloween night.
I was not the kind of kid
who walked around with
a little pumpkin-shaped
plastic tote to gently
dust with an appropriate
smattering of candy.
I was a shopping bag kid.
As in, I would carry two large
plastic shopping bags to systematically plunder the neigh-

borhood for all of its highfructose goodness.

One of the sadder days of
my life was realizing that I
was just too old to engage in
trick-or-treating. No neighbor wants to be handing out
candy to someone who is old
enough to buy his or her own.
So with a few nudges from
my exhausted parents, I finally
hung up my shopping bags and
started thinking about what
other festivities were out there.
The debauchery of
Halloween in Chapel Hill is
just another way of distracting us big kids from realizing that we cant go door to
door anymore, that our best

Halloweens are far behind us

and that we will never look
as cute as we did in the early
2000s. That pill of truth is
tough to swallow. Its almost
as painful as the Advil youll
need once you decide to trade
your Scooby Doo costume for
your Scooby Doo pajamas.
Despite these sentiments, I
still have a deep abiding love
for seasonal fun. So yes, Ill
be in and around Franklin
Street.
Maybe next year Ill Hallowean myself off of this subpar
Hallo-day, but for now I am
diving in head first.

I will be the sword and shield

Michael Sam gave a lecture about
coming out as a football player
By Celia McRae
Staff Writer

Former professional football player

Michael Sam discussed his experience
being the first publicly gay player to
be drafted in the NFL for National
Coming Out Day at the Student
Union Tuesday.
Sam played football for the
University of Missouri, where he first
came out publicly to his team.
My name is Michael Sam, Im
from Hitchcock, Texas, my major is
sports management and Im gay, Sam
said he told his team.
He came out to the world on Feb. 9,
2014, before drafts for the NFL began.
I thought it wasnt going to be
a big deal I was like, you know,
Im gonna come out, its gonna be
a week or two, and then something
else was gonna happen, Sam said.
Well, it wasnt like that at all it
was a big deal.
When he went back to the
University of Missouri to improve his
football skills before draft picks, he
was approached by a teammate whose
cousin wanted to talk to him.
She said, I wanted to let you know
that you saved my life, Sam said.
Turns out she had tried to commit
suicide because she was gay and she
couldnt handle the bullying anymore.
This conversation changed the way
Sam saw his role as an athlete. He
said he was no longer trying to play
in the NFL for his own ego but rather
as an inspiration to others who are
struggling with their identity.
After that conversation I said, you
know, I will be the sword and shield,

and I will be the voice of those who

doesnt have a voice for themselves,
Sam said.
After being drafted for the St.
Louis Rams and then the Dallas
Cowboys practice team in 2014,
Sam has not been on an NFL
roster. He said he is on a spiritual
journey working to forgive the
people in his life who have not
been supportive. The first person
he forgave was his father, who
disavowed him after he came out.
Next, he forgave his brothers who
had abused him for being different
when he was a child.
First-year Alex Manwill said they
came to the event to observe National
Coming Out Day.
Obviously, this is extremely
pertinent today, but also just anyone
who can be someone to break
boundaries with and feel good and
just, like, whether it has do with their
orientation or something that they do
its amazing to be yourself and just,
like, accept yourself, Manwill said.
Its cool to see someone who had a
story that was exactly like mine.
Jason Gershgorn, a sophomore,
said he came to the lecture because
of the representation of Sam in the
media.
I came to see Michael Sam
because ever since seeing his really
controversial kiss you know, that
was kind of portrayed in the media
for a long time I wanted to see
what his experiences were being
so publicized and things like that,
Gershgorn said.

Charlotte mayor visits law Charlotte Observer files

school for Coming Out Day public records lawsuit
Roberts talked about
why inclusivity
matters for progress.
By Rebecca Ayers
Staff Writer

Charlotte Mayor Jennifer

Roberts said she did not
foresee the extent the state
would go to repeal a Charlotte
ordinance that protected the
rights of LGBTQ individuals.
Roberts spoke at the UNC
School of Law Tuesday to celebrate National Coming Out
Day. The event was hosted
by the Lambda Law Students
Association.
The ordinance, passed on
Feb. 22, protected LGBTQ
patrons from being denied
service by businesses in
Charlotte.
Gov. Pat McCrory signed
House Bill 2 in March. The
law invalidated all local nondiscrimination ordinances in
the state, effectively repealing
the ordinance.
Gigi Warner, a UNC School
of Law student who attended
the event, said she was outraged when HB2 was passed
into law and continues to be
upset.
People across the state are
angry, they want answers and
they dont want this conver-

sation to fade into the background, she said in an email.

Roberts said she had
observed other states initiate
similar ordinances with no
backlash, and she did not foresee the creation of HB2 as a
response to the ordinance.
If we are going to be a 21st
century city, state, country,
then weve got to accept people, and include people, and
embrace people, of all shapes
and colors, of all origins, of all
sexual orientation, she said.
Roberts said McCrory and
N.C. House Speaker Tim
Moore, R-Cleveland, claimed
they were going to repeal
HB2 as a result of the negative backlash from the nation.
What we found out later
was that it was not a sincere
offer, she said. That both
Tim Moore and Governor
McCrory were both quoted
on camera as saying that they
never intended a full repeal,
that they were going to take
away part of it.
Roberts said she is unsure
which part or how much of
the bill they claimed they
were going to repeal.
She said everyone has
seen a lot of bullying in the
responses to the Charlotte
ordinance and the controversy around HB2.
Abe Johns, president of
the Lambda Law Students

...Weve got to
accept people, and
include people, and
embrace people...
Jennifer Roberts
Mayor of Charlotte

Association, said it is important to engage everyone in

these conversations about
LGBTQ equality.
The only way that people
understand that equality is
necessary for a thriving state
and state with great business
and great opportunities is if
we include everyone in those
opportunities, he said.
Johns said the Lambda
Law Students Association had
been planning the event since
the summer, and he was glad
about how it played out.
Warner said she agreed
with the message of Roberts
speech.
Mayor Roberts speech
was an uplifting tribute to
why we all showed up today,
of the need to keep working
to protect LGBTQ rights, she
said. It gave an insightful
overview of how the Charlotte
ordinance was passed and the
rapid response by McCrory
and the GA.

Gov. McCrory is also facing a

public records suit from 2015.
By Becca Heilman
Staff Writer

The Charlotte Observer filed a lawsuit

Friday against Gov. Pat McCrory regarding
a House Bill 2 public records request from
April.
Citing the states public records law,
the Observer originally requested access
to email exchanges between the governor
and legislators, administrative officials,
companies and others, said Rick Thames,
the Observers executive editor. The governors press office acknowledged the request
shortly afterward.
We think that its important to understand completely as possible the deliberation, the thought processes behind House
Bill 2 and House Bill 2 has had a tremendous impact on the state so this is our
only recourse, Thames said. The government has withheld the records and all we
can do is now go to court and sue in an effort
to get them.
In July 2015, a media coalition, including the Charlotte Observer, filed a separate
lawsuit against the McCrory administration
for alleged repeat violations of public records
law.
We think that its important that people in
the state understand how difficult it has been
under the McCrory administration to gain
access to records that are supposed to be public, Thames said.
North Carolinas public records law states
that government agencies should respond to
requests as promptly as possible.
Frayda Bluestein, a professor in the UNC

School of Government, said the vague time

constraints leave room for interpretation
and allow government agencies more time to
handle expansive records requests, especially
considering the large number of records
available electronically.
It is a vague standard and its flexible,
which I think is appropriate in the sense
that there can be a wide range of differences
between a very simple request and one that
requires lots of searching and lots of review,
Bluestein said.
David Schulz, a professor and researcher
at Yale Law School, said records requests are
relevant nationally as well.
The basic structure of the freedom of
information laws has not been working very
well on a large scale, he said. There arent
sufficient resources to make them effective
in many instances, particularly true at the
national level.
Adam Marshall, an attorney for the
Reporters Committee for Freedom of the
Press, said journalists are negatively impacted
by delays in receiving records.
If theyre going to be able to do their job
to inform the public about what the governments doing, its important for reporters to
have timely access to government records, he
said.
Schulz said access to public records plays a
vital role in democracy.
I think people need to appreciate that the
importance of public records law is that our
democracy cant function effectively if we
dont know what government is up to, and
particularly in a day when the governments
have greater and greater power to keep track
of us, we need to have greater tools to keep
track of the government, he said.

Residence hall renovations will last until at least 2018

Workers are renovating
roofs and elevators in
dorms built in the 1960s.
By Eva Ellenburg
Staff Writer

Roofs and elevators in high-rise

dorms are being redone as part of a
series of UNC housing capital projects major ventures that each cost
over half a million dollars.
Roof replacement is underway
at Ehringhaus, while Hinton James
elevators are being significantly
renovated.
This is a normal life cycling of
maintenance projects that need to
be done on a cycle of repair, just like
air conditioners and other major
systems that operate the buildings,
said Rick Bradley, associate director
of UNC Housing and Residential
Education.
Bradley said the dorms were built
in the 1960s and major renovations
are needed to maintain the residents quality of life.
You have to do it or you eventually run the risk of having a major
problem that you might have to

relocate 600 residents if you had a

roof failure, he said.
Last year, the roof was replaced at
Craige Residence Hall due to active
leaks, and Craiges elevators were
also renovated. Starting in fall 2017,
Carmichael Residence Hall will
undergo the same projects.
UNC facilities architect Tom
Loter said roof projects take anywhere from 100 to 120 days. Hinton
James roof will be replaced once the
construction at Ehringhaus is complete. The elevator projects will also
occur in phases Hinton James
should be completed by August
2017, while the renovations on the
Ehringhaus elevators will begin soon
and should be done by April 2017.
The elevators have dated controls and older equipment, and I
think frequently break down or
frequently need maintenance, Loter
said. The parts are difficult to get
as well, so the purpose to modernize
these elevators is to get more readily available parts and better control
systems.
Lindsay Hoyt, a first-year resident
living in Ehringhaus, said the noisy
construction has disturbed her and
her suitemates. She said they were
given no prior notice about the proj-

A lot of times it will shake our
entire bathroom its really weird,
Hoyt said. We have to close our
room doors because we can hear the
stuff from the bathroom.
One elevator is currently being
worked on and a second broke down
in Hinton James, leaving only one
operational. Hinton James residents
were informed after they moved in
that there would be construction on
one elevator, residents said.
First-year Madison Walters said
she faces the choice of either waiting
for the elevator or taking the stairs
in Hinton James. She said this is
especially inconvenient because she
lives on the ninth floor.
This morning we had to catch a
bus so, like, we couldnt really stand
there and wait for one elevator to
come all the way up, so we just, like,

had to run down the stairs to catch

it, Walters said. So its definitely
been a hassle.
First-year Emily Krupa, who lives
on the eighth floor of Hinton James,
said waiting for the one working

elevator affects her schedule.

Its just annoying, but hopefully

the end of the semester, Krupa said.

When students start companies, what they need is accessible space thats affordable

She said Durhams startup

We would like to provide

The Daily Tar Heel

Town staff has been working to create areas that are

appealing to recent graduates, although there are many
different ideas for how to
achieve this.
We want grads who want
to live here to stay, Parker
said.
Cone said an urban vibe
like that of downtown Chapel
Hill is an environment in
which many people want to
find office space, making it all
the more hard to find.
Mark Zimmerman, owner
of RE/MAX Winning Edge,
attributed decades of progress
in Durham by farsighted local
government and businesses
owners to its recent and significant growth.
Durham worked really
hard to make entertainment
options and to revitalize the
area, he said. It has captured
the attention of a wide range
of people, but certainly a
younger crowd.
Zimmerman said that with

all the competition in that

area, the Chapel Hill area
hasnt yet been able to catch
up.
Lantay said he believes the
most important thing Chapel
Hill can do is create office
space for startups, as well as
places catered to the people
who work in those offices
to spend time, similar to
the communal spaces of the
American Tobacco Campus in
Durham.
Bassett said it would be
pretty much impossible to
create something like the
American Tobacco Campus
in Chapel Hill, but there is
the potential for the Ephesus
Fordham District to become
a more affordable, urban
district.
Lantay said he believes
mixed-use space would create an identity outside of the
University for recent graduates.
More than anything, college graduates who live in

Durham feel pride in living

in Durham, Lantay said.
People there have an identity
outside of Duke.
Zimmerman said he
thinks this will be nearly
impossible to achieve in
Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill is joined at
the hip with the University,
he said. This is really a college town, and when people
graduate, theyre leaving that
behind.
Zimmerman said although
Raleigh and Durham have
significant university presences, they are not the heart
of their respective cities.

Parker said the town has

recently done quite a bit to
preserve and create affordable
housing in Chapel Hill, which
is a necessity for many recent
graduates.
The towns efforts include
placing one cent of property

taxes into a fund for affordable housing, which works

out to roughly $700,000 to
$750,000 each year, Parker
said.
Despite these efforts,
Zimmerman said the average
cost of living in Chapel Hill
is about $500,000 much
higher than Durham or
Raleigh.
Zimmerman said although
the housing market can discourage recent grads from
living in town, many alumni
return later to buy a home in
Chapel Hill.
They have a wonderful
time, they love it, but they
go off and have their career,
Zimmerman said. Then
when they can afford to, they
get a place in Chapel Hill. A
lot of people retire and come
back to this area because it
has that hold on them. In a
way, you dont lose them forever.

higher education was a

great one.
From the beginning,
Carolina was a bold and a
brilliant idea the notion
that higher education was a
public good, that it fostered
the happiness of a rising generation, not just the perfection of individual students,
that it belonged to the many
rather than the few, he said.
Farmer acknowledged
the cloud of exclusivity on
the basis of racism and sexism that surrounded the
University during its early
years.
But if were going to be
honest, we have to acknowledge that ours was an idea

imperfectly realized, he said.

As good as was the place
where we started, as noble
and as true, wed be nowhere
now if we hadnt kept moving.
Farmer said while he
was grateful to be given the
opportunity, he thought there
were better people to deliver
the University Day speech.
When I was asked to do it,
I thought someone had made
a mistake, and thats the
truth, Farmer said. I was on
vacation, and someone called
me on the telephone. I said,
I really appreciate this, but
I think you have the wrong
number.
Though he graduated from

Duke University, Farmer said

UNC has become a home for
him since he arrived in 2004.
Over time, I think people
tried so hard to make me feel
welcome, and people tried
very hard to help me understand what the Universitys
about and what its trying
to do, and I just feel a lot of
gratitude for the place and
the people here, so Im glad to
help out with University Day,
he said.
At the ceremony,
Provost Jim Dean and Vin
Steponaitis, secretary of
the faculty, presented the
distinguished alumna and
alumnus awards to Karen
Bruton, Florence Fearrington,

Rosalind Fuse-Hall, Sanford

Sandy Shugart and Paula

The Edward Kidder

Award was presented to two
recipients Mimi Chapman,
a professor in the School of
Social Work, and Eugenia

First-year Student
Congress member Tarik
Woods said it was great to
see how big of an influence
alumni can have.
Its really inspiring not
only to finish the four years

influential alumni, but also

just seeing what they can do

each other, he said.

GOVERNOR

He continues to tax the

middle class, Cooper said.
Thats why the middle class
is hurting.
McCrory said the states
unemployment rate has
decreased during his time in
office due to his policy.
Unemployment was a
record 9.4 percent when I
came to office, he said. We
had the highest income tax
and the highest corporate tax
in South.
Several times throughout the debate, Cooper said
McCrory is dishonest about
his record and said wages in

North Carolina are stagnant.

McLennan said the
debates are important for the
gubernatorial race because
they are a rare opportunity
for voters to actually see the
candidates.
This is a presidential
year and sometimes people
forget that there are other
races, he said. So I think its
important because we get to
see them, not just their ads
particularly their vision
for what the governor should
be.

old population comprised

15.4 percent of the towns
overall population.
Bassett said the town has
gaps in the local population
of 25 to 40-year-olds that has
not grown much in recent
decades.
According to a presentation Bassett gave in January
2015, there has only been
11 percent of growth among
25 to 34-year-olds, and 34
percent growth among 35 to
44-year-olds between 1990
and 2010.
Both of these fall far
below the average population
growth the town saw 68
percent.
We think a part of that is
a lack of job creation, Bassett
said. The town council is
intently set on seeing that
trend change, (because) we
certainly desire to retain

The gubernatorial candidates also went head-to-head
on taxes.
Cooper said the McCrory
administration has raised

Athletics committee reviews NCAA study

The group also talked
about a summer
support program.
By Ivy Ingle
Staff Writer

The Faculty Athletics

Committee met Tuesday to
review student-athlete summer programs, surveys and a
study by the NCAA.
Michelle Brown, assistant
provost and director of the

Academic Support Program

for Student-Athletes, gave
an overview of the Summer
Success Program, an academic support program for newly
enrolled student-athletes who
attend Summer Session II.
The program allowed the
students to participate in the
Strong Interest Inventory to
survey their personalities and
interests.
Over 44 percent of
the students indicated an
increase in knowledge of
major options and career

choices after reviewing the

Strong profile, Brown said.
John Stephens, an associate professor in the School of
Government, introduced the
student-athlete exit interview
survey for review and discussion by members. The survey
about academics and athletics
is given to student-athletes
who have completed graduation requirements.
The group discussed
changes to the survey, but the
final decision will be made at
a later meeting.

Lissa Broome, faculty athletics representative, reviewed

the NCAA GOALS study that
occurs every five years and
specifically looked at average Academic Progress Rate
scores by sport, which have
been improving over time.
She highlighted a study on
athletes views on whether or
not they think they will play
professionally.
Bubba Cunningham, director of athletics, said the statistics from the NCAA study do
not represent UNCs athletics.

Football, 50
percent of our team
is trying to make an
NFL roster.
Bubba Cunningham
Director of Athletics

In mens basketball, 100

percent went pro last year,
and I would say thats probably true for the last five,
now one of thems in Japan,
but theyre all going pro,

Cunningham said. Football,

50 percent of our team is trying to make an NFL roster.
Stephens said talking to
academic counselors and
interviewing alumni is a good
way to hear more about the
student-athlete experience.
We think we need to do
better at trying to get a more
complete picture of a variety
of student-athletes on how
they balance their time limits, he said.

UNC to use national title loss as motivation

The Tar Heels are
looking to rebound
strong in 2016-17.
By Jeremy Vernon
Assistant Sports Editor

Roy Williams still hasnt

seen it. And hes not sure he
ever will.
There doesnt seem much
point to it now, more than
six months after the North
Carolina mens basketball
team lost on a buzzer-beater
to Villanova in the national
title game.
Hes seen the shot itself, a
25-footer from the Wildcats
Kris Jenkins that broke
UNCs heart. Its been hard
to avoid. But the 39 minutes and 55 seconds before
that sequence have gone
unwatched. The highs and the
lows and the furious comeback to Williams, theres
no point in wallowing in it.
Its just like somebody
pulled your heart out and
taunts you by shaking it in
front of you, he said at UNCs
media day Tuesday. But
youve gotta get over it.
What Williams has focused
on from that night in April
are the words he told his team
afterwards to embrace the
pain and the hurt and turn
them into something.
I told them in the locker
room, Lets use this as fuel to
work harder in the offseason,
Williams said. Lets use this
as fuel to motivate, use this as
fuel to put in that extra time
to know that we were that
close but we didnt get what

we wanted.
Williams team for the
upcoming season has taken
these words as gospel in summer workouts and the first few
weeks of practice. The players
know they never want to experience that kind of letdown
again and are using that and
other aspects of the loss as kindling for what they hope will be
another successful season.
For junior forward Justin
Jackson, its talk from others
about coming up just short
that stays with him the most.
We had a really successful year as a university when
it comes to athletics, he
said. But to hear we had five
teams make it to the national
championship but we had
three of them win, and to
know that we werent one of
those teams, it kind of hurts.
Jackson said he hasnt
watched the game either
hes getting around to it
but it has been on his mind
all summer.
Its been on senior forward
Kennedy Meeks too, but for a
slightly different reason.
I think me seeing Brice
(Johnson) work so hard last
season and for him to fall
short was really disappointing to me. Him and Marcus
(Paige) and Joel (James), they
really deserved to win that.
Johnson, Paige and James
were the seniors on the 2015-16
squad, and each meant a great
deal to the team last season
Johnson for his breakout campaign that saw him earn All-

DTH/ALEX KORMANN
UNC mens basketball Head Coach Roy Williams talks to the team during a 3-on-3 drill in practice during Tuesdays media day.

America honors, Paige for his

leadership and clutch plays and
James for his humble nature
and sideline antics.
The fact that all three came
up shy of the ultimate sendoff
for their college careers has
irked Meeks since the nation-

al championship game. For

him, returning to that stage is
as much about honoring them
as it is about succeeding with
the players still on the Tar
Heels roster.
For us to fall short only
motivated us this summer to

work extremely hard, probably the hardest weve worked

since weve been here, on and
off the court, Meeks said.
Me personally, Im trying to
do it for those guys.
Whatever the reason,
the Tar Heels have made it

a point to use the national

championship loss to their
advantage.
If theyre going to look back
on it, they might as well use it
to help them move forward.

Lack of interceptions not because of lack of talent

The UNC football
secondary is battling
bad luck this season.
By John Bauman
Staff Writer

Through six games in 2016,

the North Carolina football
team has zero interceptions.
Given all the returning talent and experience North
Carolina has in the secondary,
the goose egg in that column
is a bit of a surprise.
In 2015, the Tar Heels had
17 interceptions, including

a team-high four picks from

defensive back M.J. Stewart.
Hes back and has started
each of the six games the Tar
Heels have played this season.
But despite some good chances, he and his teammates just
havent been able to make one
of those plays.
Its funny how sometimes
turnovers come in droves,
and sometimes its a desert,
defensive coordinator Gene
Chizik said. But we are hoping that we can get our hands
on some balls soon because
we are going into game seven,
and we have not had an
interception. And thats hard

to swallow, but thats where

were at.
Its not from lack of talent
or from lack of technique.
Defensive backs coach
Charlton Warren emphasized
that the defensive backs have
been grading out well in the
film room but just havent
made the play.
Theres been opportunities where the ball has hit our
hand, and weve dropped it,
tipped it or not come down
with the play, he said. And
thats the point that I am trying
to make is, you do your job, you
execute everything, but you
still have to make the big play.

Chizik agreed.
Weve just got to put
ourselves in the position and
then when the opportunity
comes, we have to make the
most of it, he said. But we
havent really done that up to
that point.
When you have as much
talent as UNC does, and no
interceptions, there are going
to be some aspects of bad
luck coming back to bite the
defense. Warren gave a concrete example of some of the
unluckiness the defense has
faced this season.
The other day, the one
Naz Jones tipped in the end

zone if he doesnt tip it,

Des Lawrence picks it off and
goes 95 (yards) , Warren
said Its just, stuff like that
happens. We got the knockdown with the ball there,
but Des literally jumped the
slant. He was all over it, it was
going to go the other way.
Virginia Tech was on
the UNC 11-yard line, and
Hokie quarterback Jerod
Evans dropped back to pass
on 3rd-and-9 with the Tar
Heels down 3-0. Jones made
the great play, but Lawrence
might have made a gamechanging one that would have
been the teams first intercep-

tion of the season and potentially six points.

North Carolina will keep
focusing on technique and
making great plays, knowing
that the interceptions will
come, even if its taken a
while.
It all starts with your technique, Stewart said. If your
technique is bad, you will
never be in position to make a
play. So, all we can do is keep
clamping on receivers, keep
being in position, and we are
going to make one soon, Ill
promise yall that.

Two debate clubs have different styles

One debates across
the country, the
other within the club.
By Anish Bhatia
Staff Writer

The Carolina Debating

Union and the Dialectic and
Philanthropic Societies uphold
the mission of freedom of
speech in very different ways.
The Carolina Debating
Union competes against other
collegiate teams across the
East Coast.
Junior Pallavi Gulati, copresident of the Carolina
Debating Union, said she
believes the group maintains
uniqueness through extemporaneous debate style. She said
they use two-person teams
where they are given a topic
at the beginning of the round.
Weve had people on our
team win and place at multiple tournaments including
the University of Chicago,
George Washington and
American University, Gulati
said.
Sophomore Laura Cabana,
treasurer of the Carolina
Debating Union, said the

group fosters invaluable skill

sets and friendships.
We travel and compete
around the country, but keep
our doors open to any student
who wants to learn more about
debate, get better at public
speaking and learn to critically
analyze arguments, she said.
The Carolina Debating
Union is only a three-year-old
organization, but that has not
impeded the group from succeeding at tournaments.
This past year, we won
two major tournaments
which was a first for our
team, Cabana said. We were
able to qualify two teams to
nationals in New York, where
they competed with the best
debaters on the circuit.
While the Carolina
Debating Union engages in
tournaments, the Dialectic
and Philanthropic Societies
holds weekly modified parliamentary style debates in
New West Hall. DiPhi was
established in 1795, making it
the oldest student organization at UNC.
I remember when I was
a first-year, and I saw fellow
college students speaking
with such grace and passion on various topics in the

college students

Michael Johnston
DiPhi joint senate president

Dialectic Hall, Joint Senate

President Michael Johnston
said.
Johnston said the organization debates among themselves about topics ranging
from policy to philosophy.
Sophomore Christina Lim,
Sergeant-at-Arms of DiPhi,
said the society has had a
longstanding impact on campus by serving as an outlet
for the students where they
are free to speak their minds
and by starting a color
tradition.
DiPhi was responsible
for the creation of the UNC
school colors of Carolina blue
and white, she said.
Lim said the Dialectic
Society attached blue ribbons to its members graduation diplomas while the
Philanthropic Society put
white ribbons on its members graduation diplomas.

The color of the ribbons represented virtue and purity.

She said DiPhi produced
influential figures in history
such as former President
James Polk, John Morehead
and Robert House, namesake

of the Undergraduate Library.

Junior John Jacobi, a
member of DiPhi, said the
society encourages open
speech through a section of
their debate called Papers,
Petitions, Memorials and

Addresses. He said during

this section, anyone has three
minutes to speak freely.
Some beautiful stuff happens there, Jacobi said.

Obama campaigns for Clinton in Greensboro

All speakers at the
event focused on the
importance of voting.
By Sam Killenberg and Carina
McDermed
Staff Writers

A relaxed and smiling

President Barack Obama
greeted an enthusiastic
crowd of 7,000 at the White
Oak Amphitheatre Tuesday
by removing his jacket and
improvising frequently during
his hour-long speech.
He joked about his graying
visage and about his time in
the White House coming to
an end.

Were going from room to

room, making sure none of
the china is broken, he said.
We want to get our security
deposit back.
Obama appeared in
Greensboro to showcase
his support for Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton, citing her experience
and credentials in public
service as reasons for his
endorsement.
Obama also took the
opportunity to repeatedly
criticize Clintons opponent,
Republican presidential
nominee Donald Trump.
The guys said stuff that
no one would find tolerable if
they were applying for a job at
7-Eleven, he said.

Obama said Trump does

not have the temperament,
judgment or desire to obtain
the knowledge needed to be
president.
Obama appeared at the
event alongside Deborah Ross,
the Democratic candidate
for the U.S. Senate, several
Democratic state legislators
and Clinton campaign staffers.
All of the speakers focused
on the importance of voting in
the upcoming election.
Send a message about who
we are as the American people
and make our kids proud,
Obama said.
Voter registration was a
theme throughout the event,
and before doors opened,
attendees lined up outside

Send a message about who we are as the

American people and make our kids proud.
Barack Obama
U.S. President

were asked by volunteers if

they were registered at their
current address.
Henry Frye, the first
African-American chief
justice of the North Carolina
Supreme Court, made a
personal plea to get voters
registered and to the polls as
he introduced Obama.
In 1956, I was denied
the opportunity to register
to vote based on a literacy
test, he said. Now, I am
introducing the president of

the United States.

Obama remained
lighthearted despite three
interruptions by hecklers, who
were escorted out by security.
Will Arrington, a UNCChapel Hill student who
attended the event, said he
traveled to Greensboro to
support Obama.
He was the first president
I ever voted for, he said.
I think he has done an
exceptional job.
Jasmine Spears, a UNC-

Greensboro student, said shes

voting for Clinton to keep
Trump out of the presidency.
In a larger choice of
candidates, Hillary probably
wouldnt be my first choice,
she said. But Im not going
to vote for another candidate,
because thats a vote for
Donald Trump.
During the speech,
Obama listed some of the
accomplishments of his
administration.
All that progress goes out
the window if we dont make
the right decision in four
weeks, he said.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR

Chapel
Hill
must be
the place

NEXT

ome is where
I want to be,
begins Talking
Heads famous song This
Must Be the Place (Naive
Melody). I recently heard
this song on a road trip up to
Pennsylvania; well, two different covers of it: The first by
Kishi Bashi and the second by
The Lumineers.
I fell in love with it immediately. Im a person who really
focuses on songs lyrics, not so
much the melody. These lyrics resonated with me deeply
as I drove through Americas
northern states. Nostalgia and
epiphany are strange bedfellows; I felt them both while
listening to the song.
Home is an odd concept,
especially when youre a college student. Ive found myself
feeling homeless, in the sense I
have too many to have one official home anymore. Theres
my familys house in Concord,
theres my apartment here in
Chapel Hill, theres St. Anthony
Hall, there are the couches of
my best friends houses and
then there are people abroad
and in different cities who feel
just as much like home as my
childhood bedroom.
Its taken a while for Chapel
Hill to feel like home. Its
weird to feel placeless. Its even
stranger when you start to
reflexively refer to your college
town as home. As a junior, I
often think of how in less than
two years, Ill likely leave this
home behind for a new one.
I had a lot of qualms about
not studying abroad. I spent a
few semesters hem-hawing over
whether or not it was the right
decision for me; ultimately, I
decided to stay put. I feel some
regrets now, but then I remember how it feels to be grounded.
I think of being able to get
into my car and know exactly
how to get to my friends
houses in Carrboro. Studying
abroad, while a wonderful
experience, seemed always
just out of my reach. Its hard
not to feel like youre missing
out on a big experience, but at
the same time, I feel like Ive
found my feet at UNC. Maybe
I wouldnt have found that
feeling had I gone to England
as I so enthusiastically planned
when I was a first-year. Part of
me wishes Id pushed myself
to find a new home abroad,
but then I look around campus
and know Im happy here.
It feels like home when Im
driving on Rosemary with my
windows down, passing all
these people who live their
lives just like I live mine. I feel
at home when I cut through
the Carolina Inn and smell the
lemon air freshener. I feel at
home when I walk through the
Pit late at night and the streetlights are the lights that guide
me on my way. I feel at home
when I realize two and a half
years have passed here and it
feels like no time at all. Maybe
I wouldve lost these feelings if
I went elsewhere, abroad or to
another university entirely.
Chapel Hill is not perfect.
Sometimes I still feel like I
might have been happier elsewhere; but, hey, the grass is
always greener somewhere else
(maybe in Europe, but who
knows). So for now, to quote
the song, If someone asks, this
is where Ill be. Ill be here
because as many homes as I
might have, this one feels like a
good fit. I guess that this must
be the place.
10/13: Not Your Token
Gwendolyn Smith writes on
issues facing Black students.

Why we should kick

Aramark off campus

EDITORIAL

Walk (or hire) your talk

UNC should hire
a historian of
American slavery.

NCs own history

has attracted
tremendous
attention in the past few
years especially its racial
history. The campus was
built partly by enslaved
people and many of our
older buildings are named
after slaveholders; just
because this is true of
other Southern institutions
doesnt make it right.
The University insists
it is working hard to
contextualize our campus
history, and we support
this effort. We commend

the professors on campus

who study the histories of
the American South and
slavery in the Atlantic
world but we were
alarmed to realize that no
professor in the history
department focuses
specifically on slavery in
the American South.
Though the plaques
and other symbols on
UNCs campus may be
more visible than the
professors on the upper
floors of Hamilton Hall,
the history department
is the Universitys best
chance to represent its
historical priorities to the
academic world.
The department still
attracts plenty of majors,

including several members

of this board. A full
understanding of the racial
history of the United States
is key to understanding
where we are today.
Courses on slavery in the
U.S. and especially,
given that we are a state
school in a state that
seceded in the Civil War,
in the South should be
regularly available.
UNC should commit
resources to helping
at least one faculty
member devote his or her
energy to teaching and
researching this topic.
If were serious about
understanding our own
history, show it through
hiring.

EDITORIAL

Dont despair, take care

Midterms can hurt
the mind, body and
spirit. Watch out!

ith midterm
season upon us,
the overwhelming burden of our academic and extracurricular
lives rears its ugly head.
So far, we have kept this
monstrous beast at bay
through procrastination,
compartmentalization and
ingestion of various sweets
and substances.
Unfortunately, the beast

has cornered us in a familiar passageway, populated

by exams, papers, job
applications and other
duties. We must not fall
into despair. Instead, we
must prioritize health
even in times of despair.
The common approach
of allowing the monster to
chip away at our sleeping
hours, to spray our body
with foul odors and to drain
our essence can only get
us so far. This illusion of
necessity is simply another
spell cast by the wizard of
the future, who compels

us to harm our bodies in

hopes of a high GPA and a
good job. At some point, we
should take stock.
While the future is a certainty, we must not let its
wizards, demons and monsters destroy our bodies and
health in the present. We
must commit ourselves to
mental, physical and spiritual safety. Let us all persevere through hard work
and through self-care.
Otherwise, we will just
become another spooky
skeleton lining the lair of
the midterm monster.

EDITORIAL Q & A

You Asked for It

In which we go to the State Fair and plan a lackluster Fall Break.
Alison Krug (going on
dates) and Kiana Cole (accidentally ate a date) are the
writers of UNCs premier
(only!) satirical advice column. Results may vary.

You: All my friends have

dates to the State Fair but

me. Should I still go with
them?

You Asked For It: While thou-

sands of lovers will flock to

the fair this week, remember
most of them are 14 and
hoping to get side hugged
before the nights end.
Whether you go alone
or with a group, dont
be fooled by the name.
Nothing is fair about
spending $1.2 trillion on
deep-fried Jell-O clusters
and rides as unpredictable
as the lifespan of the goldfish you just won.
And yes, having someone
to carry the financial burden
of the fair with you is a plus,
but dont be afraid of spending your evening riding solo
except, dont literally ride
the rides solo, because its
important to have someone
in The Zipper cage with you
when youre inevitably stuck
upside down for two hours.

You: How can I make the

most of my Fall Break?

YAFI: Fall Break, instated in

1795 when Hinton James

realized he left all of his
sweaters at home and
needed a University-allotted
long weekend to walk back
to Wilmington to get them

(probably), is Spring Breaks

shorter, sadder cousin.
If Spring Break is Wilson
Library, Fall Break is a
course pack lodged in a
sewer grate. If Spring Break
is the Clef Hangers singing
Carolina in My Mind, Fall
Break is being stuck on a
bus ride next to someone
listening to the The Music
Man soundtrack on repeat
with their headphones
turned up slightly too loud.
If Spring Break is a good
analogy, Fall Break is this
analogy.
Fall Break is an
abbreviated opportunity
to take a breath and catch
up on the semester, for
as Confucius almost said,
Our greatest glory is not in
never falling, but in rising
every time we (promise
ourselves well maybe
actually do some homework
on F)all (Break).
Just in case, take your
homework along with you
as Hinton James knows
showing up is enough to
be successful on your
autumnal travels to such
traditional, exotic Fall Break
destinations as Your Couch
or State Fair Traffic.

TO THE EDITOR:
When I graduated from
UNC three years ago, I
was proud to have helped
build a strong relationship
between socially conscious
students and Carolina
Dining Services. As a representative from the student
group FLO (Fair, Local,
Organic) Food, I met with
CDS, including several
employees from Aramark,
UNCs dining service provider, on a regular basis for
several semesters.
Together, we worked
to add healthier, more
sustainable food options
to the dining halls. Our
collaboration also led to
the dramatic expansion of
the on-campus farmers
market, which continues to
be an enormously popular
event.
Thats why it saddens
me, perhaps more than
any other student past or
present, to say that Im
now joining a growing
movement of students and
alumni across the country
urging our universities
administrators to kick
Aramark off campus.
I respect the many
Aramark employees with
whom I worked, and my
complaint is nothing personal. This is bigger than
the surely well-meaning
individuals in CDS. On a
corporate level, Aramark
has proven itself to be a
fundamentally socially irresponsible company when it
comes to animal welfare.
Currently, Aramark does
not have a single policy in
place to protect the chickens in its supply chain. As
a result, chickens endure
endless agony on Aramarks
supplier farms.
Birds on these farms are
confined inside filthy, windowless sheds and forced
to stand atop accumulated
waste that burns their eyes
and lungs with ammonia
fumes. The barren environment offers them few
opportunities to engage in
natural behaviors. Most
egregiously, the chickens
own genes have been engineered through heartless
selective breeding to work
against them. They grow
grotesquely large at a monstrous speed. The birds
bones, hearts and other
organs cant keep up with
their bodies weight, and
many die of heart attacks,
organ failure or dehydration when they can no longer reach water.
An even crueler fate
awaits the animals who
survive this abuse. At the
slaughterhouse, theyre
thrown upside down into
metal shackles, electrocuted, slit at the throat and
then scalded in hot water.
Many birds endure this
entire process while still
alive and able to feel pain.
No animal deserves this
torture. Chickens are intelligent and sensitive; they
have individual personalities just like dogs and cats.
They can learn their names,
form close bonds with

their family members and

human companions and
can even perform simple
arithmetic.
I know that if given the
choice, the Carolina community would not welcome
a dining service provider
that supports horrific animal abuse. Regardless of
what students choose to
eat at the dining hall, and
regardless of our own ethicsI now choose not to eat
any animal productswe
can all agree that this abuse
is morally wrong and must
stop.
At a minimum, Aramark
should give birds more
room, natural light and
other environmental
enrichments. It should
stop breeding them to put
on weight their own bodies cant support. And it
should transition to less
cruel slaughter methods
ones that would guarantee
the birds are unconscious
before they are sliced and
scalded.
Fellow alumni, students,
and other members of the
UNC family, please join
me in asking Chancellor
Folt to pledge not to renew
Aramarks contract with
CDS unless the company
adopts a progressive, thorough animal welfare policy.

Trump needs to step

down from candidacy
TO THE EDITOR:
I seldom comment publicly on political issues.
However, the most recent
video of Mr. Trump and
Billy Bush discussing
women in the most vulgar way possible is truly
sickening. I know many
Republicans, and respect
their ideas and opinions.
I think civil disagreement
and discourse are the trademarks of a healthy democracy. I consider myself an
Independent.
As a woman, I have
experienced sexual harassment, and survived
attempted sexual assault.
Unfortunately, I know
many women who have
experienced much worse.
The behavior of both men
in this video could not be
more degrading to women.
So this is my plea:
Republicans, please call for
Mr. Trump to step down,
and choose a new candidate
whose character and integrity is worthy of the office of
the President of the United
States. Do it for your wives,
your daughters, your partners, your girlfriends and
yourselves. Women, do
it so that your husbands,
boyfriends, partners and
sons have a role model who
truly believes in valuing not
only women, but people
of different backgrounds
and faiths, and anyone who
does not fall into the stereotypical concepts of perfect
and normal. Every person
in America deserves a better future than this.
