A sage of North Carolina higher education, Bill Friday was president of the UNC system from 1956 to 1986 and a founding co-chairman of the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. Today, as the University still awaits the NCAAs verdict on its football program, Friday will share his expertise by joining Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Taylor Branch and Duke University professor and author Charles Clotfelter in a panel discussion

dtH: What role can UNC, as a large public university, play in enacting change within the NCAA? BF: Large universities, by and large, are the ones playing big-time sports.

A second UNC-system task force looks to uncover best practices for hiring coaches.
Faculty and administrators have placed college sports at the forefront of needed reforms this past year, and now UNC-system administrators are hoping to get started on a review of coaching policies. A speaker panel will meet at UNCCH today to discuss reforming college sports. The discussion follows the creation of two task forces in the past year by UNC-system President Thomas Ross both charged with reforming the systems athletics. The latest task forces goal is to come up with the best practices to hire coaches and negotiate coaches contracts, said Joni Worthington, spokeswoman for the system. Dick Baddour, former athletic director of UNC-CH, will head the group, which is mainly composed of UNCsystem athletic directors. Were still very much in the early stages of identifying the topics we want to focus on, he said. The committee, which was first announced by Ross in January, doesnt have a deadline, but Baddour said he hopes the process will be wrapped up in the next couple of months. This committee follows last years conclusion of a task force headed by East Carolina University Chancellor Steve Ballard, who was charged with looking at academic integrity in athletics across the UNC system. The task force was really focused on the success of the student athlete, said Philip Rogers, chief of staff to Ballard. The task force proposed recommendations to campuses, including a better integration of athletics into the mission of the universities, he said. But a letter sent two weeks ago to Chancellor Holden Thorp and signed by 112 UNC-CH professors expressed faculty support in reviewing how student athletes are held responsible for their education. The letter stated that UNC-CHs athletics need to be fully integrated into

Parents Council doles out $92,000

the money will fund 13 proposals, including the student enrichment Fund.
By Becky Bush
Staff Writer

The Carolina Parents Council allocated nearly $92,000 this weekend to fund 13 on-campus grant proposals. The dues-funded organization received 21 grant applications this year, down from 28 in 2011. That year, the council gave $131,249.29 to fund 21 proposals. Each year, the Parents Council, which is made up of 81 families affiliated with the University, allocates money to campus groups that apply. We think the Parents Council is a vehicle to help the University with different problems they can solve, said Liz Zellner, one of the national chairs of the council. If the council had fully funded every

request, it would have cost more than $216,000, Zellner said. The largest grant $13,051.09 was given to the HAVEN and One Act programs, which provide training to prevent interpersonal and sexual violence. Last years top recipient was SafeWalk, which received $15,000. This year, Student Body President Mary Cooper received $5,000 for the Student Enrichment Fund, an initiative she began to help students attend offcampus events. Its so exciting, Cooper said. This guarantees some stability for the Student Enrichment Fund. Its incredibly generous of the Parents Council. Cooper had been devoting her monthly student government stipend of $300 to fund the program. The 81 families in the council all pay a $1,250 membership fee that goes directly into the groups fund. Theyre giving up their resources to the University and a lot of their

Still no venue for Cain visit System schools

But since the venue for the event now has to be smaller, the event will be open to students exclusively. The event will be free, but will require a ticket, which might be provided through the Union box office, Steele said. Sarah Whitford, president of the Economics Club, said in an email that the club has helped the College Republicans iron out some of the details of the event, such as marketing, organizing receptions, venue and ticket distribution. Steele said the College Republicans and the Economics Club hope to have a final venue confirmed soon. Cains speaker fee of $10,000 is less than the $15,000 the hosts had originally anticipated when they first contacted Cains representatives. Part of the funding for the event came from a $10,622 grant from Student Congress. Steele said a final cost for the event cannot be determined until all details, including the venue, are finalized, but any additional costs will be paid for out of the groups funds. The hosts have enough money from this years fundraisers and Student Congress funding to cover the speaker fee plus the cost of the venue and any additional hospitality events, said Garrett Jacobs, treasurer of

cut programs

Staff Writer

Herman Cain will speak at UNC on March 22 if organizers can find a venue for him, said Greg Steele, chairman of the College Republicans. The group, along with the UNC Economics Club, has invited the former Republican presidential candidate to speak on campus on the only day he has available, Steele said. But both Memorial Hall and the Great Hall of the Student Union, the ideal venues, are unavailable that day, and the hosts are having to look elsewhere for accommodations. Steele said alternative venues in Carroll Hall and the Koury Auditorium of the KenanFlagler Business School have

Restructuring academic programs may cut costs and improve efficiency.

After a report on academic degree duplication last year failed to find concrete proposals for restructuring academic programs, several UNC-system schools are taking on the task themselves. N.C. Central University became the first UNC-system school to approve significant changes to its academic programs Friday. NCCUs Board of Trustees approved the elimination of four majors and the consolidation of 10 majors into five, said NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms. The changes were passed after receiving input from students, faculty and staff, and will go into effect pending final approval from the systems Board of Governors. Nelms said the program restructuring will improve the universitys efficiency and help retain graduate students. In a report to the board last November, Jim Woodward, a former chancellor of N.C. State University and UNC-Charlotte, announced that he had found no overlap between academic programs at different UNC-system schools. His yearlong research was initiated as a cost-saving method, potentially leading to cutting and consolidating programs throughout the UNC system. But programs are still being cut despite not being classified as unnecessary duplication. Many of the university programs that are at risk still have high demand and produce a satisfactory number of graduates, Woodward said. Budget cuts have forced campuses to eliminate programs and services that by normal measures would stay in place, he said. Four majors at NCCU will be eliminated: sociology, public administration, French and art with a concentration in teacher education. The College of Science and Technology will also

the group. Jared Simmons, chairman of the finance committee of Student Congress, said he is glad that the cost is lower than the group originally expected. Student Congress believes Cain will make a major impact on campus, he said. Whitford said the event will be appealing for students of all political standings. While we may not agree with many of Herman Cains policy positions, we think he will foster discussion all across the political spectrum, she said.

Zach de La Rosa oversees changes to Student Code

By Sarah Niss
Staff Writer

Speaking in Code

In a deaf Jamaican community he visited last year, Zach De La Rosa was given a special sign a Z drawn over the heart, meant to reflect his good character. Back at UNC, De La Rosa is more commonly known as speaker of Student Congress, and some of his colleagues speak similar praises. His career in Student Congress began in April 2010 when he ran as a representative for the 92nd Congress. Two years later, he is preparing to leave the body with a legacy of having simplified the Student Code. Tonight, the finance committee of Student Congress will address the final section of the Student Code that hasnt yet been modified. The code is the primary document that governs how student government operates, covering topics from how elections work to how student groups receive funding each year. He has successfully rewritten and condensed the entire Student Code thats his crowning achievement of the year, said Jared Simmons, the committees chairman. De La Rosa will be the first speaker in recent years to serve out his entire term, he said. When I came to the job, I knew I wasnt leaving, De La Rosa said. We had a lot of stuff to do. Chief among these priorities was the organization of the Student Code. It was very difficult to follow, and some rules were repetitive or even contradicted each other, he said. Groups that hope to get money from Student Congress must pass a test on the contents of the code, so rewriting it helps students, he said. We streamlined the financial process, streamlined the election and appointment process, De La Rosa said. Parts of the code were cut, while others were expanded. There were a lot of antiquated rules we frankly just threw out, De La Rosa said. There were also rules for accountability that needed to be put in place. An oversight committee was created to monitor the use of student fees. It created an inventory so groups can borrow items from student government. There are projects De La Rosa didnt get to start, he said. One idea was to combine the Resident Adviser program and the Residence Hall Association. Student Body President Mary Cooper attributed De La Rosas success to his leadership style.

be merged with the College of Liberal Arts. The program restructuring will result in cost savings of $500,000, but NCCU will save even more $1.4 million in the next year from administrative efficiencies, Nelms said. Other UNC-system schools are considering similar measures to streamline their academic program offerings. Nancy Young, spokeswoman for Winston-Salem State University, said the schools decision to restructure programs depends on next years budget. If the N.C. General Assembly does not pass system-wide tuition increases of 8.8 percent, program restructuring will become one of the few options left to fill the budgetary gap, she said. Joni Worthington, spokeswoman for the UNC system, said UNC-Greensboro, N.C. StateUniversity and East Carolina University are also reviewing academic programs. Roy Schwartzman, chairman of UNC-Greensboros program review committee, said universities must decide what they want to invest their resources in and make choices from there. Program reviews could be a positive thing that increase efficiency and help with costs in the future, Schwartzman said. We have to be honest and do the best we can to operate better internally, so we reduce the need for tuition increases, he said. UNC-Gs changes to programs, which are still under review, could take place as soon as the next academic year, Schwartzman said. Schwartzman and Young said all system schools should be reviewing academic programs. The answer wont always be one-size-fits-all and wont necessarily be consolidation or cutting, Schwartzman said. Young said some students and faculty will be upset about the restructuring of programs, but schools should make the impact as small as possible. At universities we have one customer and one product our students, she said. We have to make sure whatever we do is in the best interests of our students.

Endowment to support Persian library collections

A new endowment established by Dr. Ali Jarrahi will provide library support for the Persian language and culture programs at UNC. The Jarrahi Family Library Fund for Persian Studies will contribute a gift of $25,000 for expanded library collections. Jarrahi hails from WinstonSalem. Persian language courses have been offered at the University since 2000 in the Asian studies department.

dth/melissa key Zach De La Rosa has been actively involved in student government for several years. Before becoming speaker of Student Congress, he served as speaker pro tempore.

He tells it to you straight, and he has a great vision, she said. De La Rosa is pragmatic in the face of differing opinions, Simmons said. The key to the system is compromise and patience because youre never going to get your way entirely, De La Rosa said. Simmons said De La Rosa has been able to maintain a firm grasp on the overall operations of Student Congress. Before taking office, I had the impression it would be hard to work with (Student) Congress, but I found it enjoyable and easy, Cooper said. A new speaker will take over in April,

and De La Rosa will move to southern Texas in June to teach high school math with Teach For America. My dad was a teacher, and I look up to my dad, he said. The core of it is public service. He said he hopes to improve his Spanish, continue to learn Mandarin and write music. Afterwards, he plans to get a Ph.D. in economics. Maybe Ill wind up at the World Bank, he said. That would be amazing. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Carrboro earns Tree City USA honors for 27th year
The Arbor Day Foundation has named Carrboro a Tree City USA Community for its commitment to urban forestry for the 27th year. The foundation is the nations largest nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees. To earn the award, Carrboro met the four standards to become a Tree City USA community, which include having a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a community forestry program with annual expenditures of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. We all benefit when communities like Carrboro place a high priority on planting and caring for trees, one of our nations most beautiful resources, said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation.

playMakers oers live captioning

The service makes plays more accessible to the deaf or hard of hearing.
By Grace Tatter
Staff Writer

David Chu says his job is just glorified text messaging. He brings together technology and live performance by providing live captioning services to theaters around the country, including Chapel Hills PlayMakers Repertory Company. The caption services were offered for one performance of both Henry IV and Henry V in February. They will also be used for Noises Off in April. Live captioning will make productions more accessible to the deaf or hard of hearing, said

Hannah Grannemann, managing director for PlayMakers. Grannemann said shes been interested in bringing open captioning to PlayMakers since she came to the theater four years ago. She was first introduced to the practice while a student at the Yale School of Drama when the Yale Repertory Theatre started using the services offered by c2, the New York City-based nonprofit Chu directs. This season, a $4,500 grant from the Strowd Roses foundation finally made it possible. Grannemann said she hopes to secure funding so the theater can provide caption services in upcoming seasons, too. In the captioning process, Chu transmits text and sounds to a small screen visible to certain sections of the theater. The job requires quick reflex-

es, Chu said. Although he studies the script before each performance, captioning live theater doesnt just mean projecting the script verbatim. If an actor flubs his lines, Chu transcribes it. Our ultimate goal is for everyone to have the same experience, he said. Although the services were originally created with the hard of hearing and deaf in mind, Chu said they can benefit anyone, especially for Shakespeare performances. Its a very helpful tool at a Shakespeare performance, he said. So much of Shakespeare is built around verbatim language. Live captioning allows for a dual experience reading and watching live theater. Chu said captioning belongs in rather than distracts from the theater experience because text is so per-

vasive in popular culture. Grannemann said that after the initial open caption performance of Henry IV, many patrons switched their tickets for Henry V to a day when the services were being provided. PlayMakers marketing director Connie Mahan said she agreed that the services are valuable. Were pleased to have the opportunity to give this service a try and consider adding it on an ongoing basis for the enjoyment of our audience members, she said. Grannemann said she has received positive feedback from a wide range of people, including non-native English speakers. It reinforces and helps a deeper understanding and an appreciation of the language. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

residents await landll closure

Rogers-Eubanks leaders anticipate the change after years of struggle.

Staff Writer

Davids involvement in the community is a jewel.

President of the rogers-eubanks neighborhood association

David Caldwell spent much of his childhood hiking, picking fresh fruits and even swimming in the streams of his RogersEubanks neighborhood. Caldwell has lived in the neighborhood since the 1960s and he has watched it change as he and his neighbors fought against the placement of a county landfill in their traditionally black community in 1972. For years, Caldwell has led efforts by neighborhood residents to gain public water and sewer access from the county and to create a community center, even as the landfill undermined their quality of life. We couldnt walk through the fruit trees the berries were gone, there werent fishes in the pond, and the water quality is not safe, Campbell said. But on Feb. 21, the Orange County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution to close the landfill on June 30, 2013.

Were really excited about the landfill closure, said Purefoy Drive resident Emily Faison. Caldwells very involved, and he has definitely brought positive change. In the late 1800s, Rogers Road was a predominantly black-owned family farmland that stretched from Homestead Road to Eubanks and Millhouse roads. But Caldwell, who is the project manager for the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood Association, said many of those families have left the area and he attributed the change to the placement of the landfill. Those who afforded to move moved out because of bad water supply, Caldwell said. You cant blame them for leaving when they got a chance. Although county officials promised that the landfill would only stay open 10 years, its closure

was delayed several times. Some neighborhood residents attribute negative effects, including a trash odor and water contamination, to the landfill. A 2009 survey by the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health found evidence of fecal contamination and E. coli bacteria in the drinking water. Caldwell said neighborhood residents look forward to seeing the landfill close, but are cautious when dealing with local officials. The burden of proof all these years has always been left to us, Caldwell said. But we fight, and we stay on top of it. Despite the neighborhoods struggle with the landfill, Caldwell

describes the neighborhood as a close-knit black community based on trust and responsibility. He said his father, David Caldwell Sr., was Chapel Hills first black police officer and he and his three brothers were also police officers. Rev. Robert Campbell, president of the Rogers-Eubanks Neighborhood Association, said the Caldwell family has long been a leader in the community. Theyve always been active in making sure that the community is safe, Campbell said. Davids involvement in the community is a jewel. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Wesley ministry seeks new home closer to campus

By Caroline Hudson
Staff Writer

The Wesley Campus Ministry has called its 214 Pittsboro St. location home since 1965, but due to substantial member growth, officials say the ministry is now looking for a new home closer to campus. Wesley, a nonprofit campus ministry founded in the 1940s, is affiliated with the United Methodist Church and provides worship services and fellowship opportunities for University stu-

dents. Its building also houses Wesley House, a residential community where 10 undergraduate students live each year. Brett Piper, board of directors co-chairman, said Wesley leaders discussed rezoning and expanding their current location with the Chapel Hill Town Council, but the council decided that the area could not be rezoned prompting Wesley to look for another location. Piper said the ministry has tripled its membership and is look-

ing for a spot that better serves its student ministry. He said the group is still working to sell its current building, proceeds from which will fund a new building. A new location hasnt yet been chosen. According to Orange Countys Geographic Information System, the current location was valued at nearly $2 million in 2009. In the meantime, Jim Kocher, who is also board of directors co-chairman, said Wesley will likely have to hold events in temporary locations around

campus, such as University United Methodist Church at 150 E. Franklin St. But despite the temporary inconvenience, he said the move out of the old building will be a positive one. In more recent times its been confining to us, Kocher said. Piper said a large portion of the ministrys funding which is provided primarily by donations from members and other local congregations now goes to paying the buildings utilities. He said the ministry decided

that using their money for that purpose didnt best serve the ministrys purpose. The building has been almost a burden, he said. Wesley students agree that the move to a new location will be a welcome change. Junior Annie Segal, a member of the Wesley ministry, said she hopes a location closer to campus will help raise student awareness about the ministry. Itll be an opportunity to expand Wesley on campus, she said.

Despite the advantages of a larger building closer to campus, Kocher said he thinks the move will be bittersweet. The current location has been home to activities like informal student gatherings, worship, student-led programs and Bible studies and leaders said it will be missed. This has been a wonderful home for a very long time, Kocher said. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

Ohio school shooting leaves one dead, four injured
LOS ANGELES (MCT) It was a typical morning at the start of the school day: Breakfast was being served at the Chardon High School cafeteria when the deadly pops began in the hallway of the small-town Ohio campus. Everybody just started running, Megan Hennessy, 17, told The Associated Press. Hennessy said she was in class when she heard the noises. Everyone was running and screaming down the hallway. At least one student died and four others were injured when a gunman opened fire in the school, according to officials who were still sorting through the evidence, seeking a motive. The dead student was later identified as Daniel Parmertor by his family. A student was in custody in the case, but has not been identified because of his age, officials said. He has not yet been charged, they said. Freshman Danny Komertz told the AP that he believed the gunman was looking for certain students. He said he saw one student dive under a cafeteria table to hide, unsuccessfully. Komertz described the shooter as an outcast who had apparently been bullied by others. A teacher chased the gunman out of the building after the shootings, officials said. The suspect was apprehended outside and was being questioned by authorities. Officials said the first emergency calls went out around 7:38 a.m. local time and that responders found victims in three separate areas. Chardon is a town of slightly more than 5,000 people, about 30 miles from Cleveland. Im a single dad and Im pretty devastated, one parent told a television reporter. This is not something you would expect at this locale.

European Union hits Syrian officials with new sanctions

LONDON (MCT) The European Union slapped new sanctions on Syria on Monday, trying to tighten an economic vise around the violent regime of President Bashar Assad. Following on similar measures in recent months, EU foreign ministers agreed to freeze the assets of several Syrian officials, impose sanctions on the countrys central bank and halt purchases of gold and gems. Syrian cargo flights are also to be banned from the EU. The 27-nation union has already enacted sanctions against other senior Syrian leaders and state enterprises. The effects have yet to be seen, but EU leaders say that they are trying to apply as much diplomatic and economic pressure as they can against the Assad regime. Thousands of peo-

Arabic Immersion Program

Summer 2012

The growth of the Arabic program at UNC-Chapel Hill in the last 10 years is evidence that understanding the Arabic world is appealing to many students across campus and in the community. Through the immersion program, students will combine language and culture classes because research has shown that linguistic competency is heavily dependent on cultural competency. Depending on their language ability, students would earn 7 credits and take either ARAB 101 or ARAB 203 and combine that course with ARAB 150, the culture class, in the five-week first session beginning May 15. Through immersion, students will be immersed in cultural activities similar to Arabic table the such as ARAB dance, ARAB songs, ARAB dishes, ARAB Hennah and ARAB calligraphy. Also, students can accelerate the pace at which they learn and be ready to move to the next language course in second summer session or in the fall.

Faculty committee explores e-book option

By Vanessa Voight
Staff Writer

As more advanced technology changes the way students read and learn, UNC faculty are exploring how to take advantage. The faculty executive committee set plans Monday to create a panel for discussing e-books in order to better understand the opportunity they present. Jean DeSaix, senior lecturer in biology, said the panel would include a representative from Student Stores, a representative

from the library, a publisher and at least one student. Anne Whisnant, deputy secretary of the faculty, said the panel would take place at the Faculty Councils next meeting on March 16. She said it would help educate faculty on the issues facing e-book users on campus, such as wireless connectivity. There was a convergence of interest in e-books in particular, DeSaix said, adding that the University Libraries and the Center for Faculty Excellence have collected data on the subject.

Luke Swindler, coordinator for general collections at the University Libraries, said the library sent out a survey in January about e-book use. The library received more than 700 responses from faculty, graduate students and undergraduates and is still analyzing that data, he said. After sending out the survey, the libraries also invited small focus groups to answer questions about their e-book use, Swindler said. Many participants were confused about how to locate and access

the e-books available through the libraries online catalog. Where publishers are on e-books, its like the Wild West, Swindler said. There are no standards, and so they vary. Swindler said many students in the focus groups disliked e-books because typically they are rented from the publisher for a semester, and after a semester the student loses access to the book. Students also disliked e-books that were digitized versions of print text, preferring e-books that offer interactivity, such as

built-in annotation or immediate feedback on test questions, he said. Faculty have also expressed concern that not all classrooms have wireless connectivity, which would impact e-book use, he said. Kelly Hanner, textbook department manager for Student Stores, said e-books have been available at Student Stores since 2008. Hanner said when Student Stores receives faculty textbook orders, it offers faculty the chance to approve an e-book format for their textbook if it exists. She said

faculty approve the e-book option about half of the time. Hanner said e-books make up less than 1 percent of all course material sales. Students at this time dont seem to be comfortable using e-books, she said. DeSaix said she hopes that the panel will result in more options for students. Im all about giving students choice.

Chapel Hill approves Shortbread Lofts

promised downtown housing is now closer to becoming a reality.
By Chessa DeCain
Staff Writer

The Chapel Hill Town Council approved applications for re-zoning and a special use permit for Shortbread Lofts bringing the complex, which promises downtown housing, closer to reality. The Monday night approval

of the mixed-use site comes after Charterwood, a similar mixed-use site, had its permits rejected earlier in February. Shortbread Lofts is a proposed mixed-use, 7-story apartment complex that will be built at 333 W. Rosemary St. About 85 apartments and 121 parking spaces are planned, as well as roughly 6,500 square feet of retail space on the ground floor. The complex will also have a recreation area on the roof for residents that will include an outdoor track and community and Safe Walk, Liz Zellner said. She added that she wishes more people knew about the council. If it was just a place where we spent our time receiving and not giving, it wouldnt be so important.

gardens. Phil Post, project engineer for Shortbread Lofts, said they hope to begin construction in June. Many residents spoke at the meeting in support of the project. Im very pleased, said Hulene Hill, a Chapel Hill resident. I think we need more density for people to live downtown in. Jim Norton, executive director of the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership, said the project would help in a number of ways, including providing downtown

housing for UNC students. It relieves some of the pressure to convert single-family housing in the Northside community, he said. But others expressed skepticism that the project would attract students away from cheaper housing like that in Northside and Pine Knolls. Alexander Stephens, an associate director at the Jackson Center, said the proposed monthly rent about $700 per bedroom would be too expensive for most students to afford. constantly review practices. Student athletes are part of the student body, so theyre expected to follow all of the rules and regulations that all students are expected to follow, she said. Theres a constant, vigilant review of data. Universities with small athletic

Its not going to drive students away from those houses, when they have much cheaper housing in single-family homes, he said. But Councilwoman Penny Rich said the town shouldnt judge the project on whether it will provide more student housing. We need to judge it on whether its going to be a good project, and it sounds like its going to be a good project, Rich said. Mayor Pro Tem Ed Harrison said that the project would help bring more permanent residents to the downtown area, which would programs, like UNC-Asheville, have had an easier time integrating student athletes into the university, said Janet Cone, athletics director at UNC-A. Randy Eaton, athletics director at Western Carolina University, said smaller schools dont see the same level of scandals and con-

help support local businesses that currently rely on students. A lot of the councils movement has been to populate downtown with permanent residents, he said.

BF: I have no idea, but Ive noticed the recent actions of the NCAA board itself: They have set forth some new punishments that are very severe. And they are punishments handed down for academic fraud, issues like that that go to the heart of the institution. And thats really the reason why we should all be very concerned. The NCAA itself is getting a lot tougher. Theyre talking about major fines. Theyre talking about probation that runs for a number of years. Theyre talking about suspension of personnel. And they shouldve been talking about these things years ago. DTH: Are you in support of those harsher punishments? BF: Its not a matter of whether or not I support it at all, because its all in the NCAAs hands. But what I will say is I am very glad to see them doing what theyre doing because if it doesnt happen, the whole thing is going to collapse.

If we are indeed found guilty, we will take our medicine and we will carry out the punishment and we will never again commit actions like those. DTH: What are your expectations for the future of college athletics? BF: Theres only one way we can go and thats to improve what were doing. And I expect universities to do that. Theyre very responsible all over the country. And the men who head them and the women who head them are decent, honorable people and theyll see to it that this is what gets done. I am optimistic because Ive seen it happen before.

Students living in a paperless world

ou really shouldnt be reading this. No, Im not telling you to stop reading my column. As a writer, I believe in the power of the written word, in the importance of journalism, in the First Amendment all that jazz. What Im really saying is that it would be a lot better, in terms of eco-friendliness, if you werent reading this column here, in print, on paper. According to the most recent survey by Inform, an environmental education nonprofit, paper products make up the largest share of solid waste in the United States. This country is also the largest paper consumer in the world, with one person going through an average of 663 pounds each year. Its not that these paper products are unnecessary. Students need textbooks, and consumers need to read the news. But the past several years have seen such improvements in electronic readers and other eco-friendly technologies that a paperless world is now possible. Almost all media have begun the transition away from print. Not to state the obvious, but those of you who are holding a newspaper right now could be reading this column on The Daily Tar Heels website, which has seen an enormous increase in quality and traffic in recent years. In fact, some publications have shifted toward onlineonly content. The Christian Science Monitor only produces a print edition once a week, and CosmoGirl now exists only as a website. A similar trend has emerged in a product on which we students are unfortunately dependent: textbooks. Its now possible to purchase and read many required textbooks online. The University should encourage this trend by educating professors, who may not be as technologically savvy as their students, about the viability of online textbooks. UNC could set a realistic goal, perhaps five years, for phasing out paper textbooks. And that ridiculously wasteful instrument of torture, the course pack, should simply be banned. Theres no reason to require students to print off or purchase hundreds of sheets of paper when, for the most part, the information can be found online. In cases in which copyright issues arise, course packs should be made available for purchase as e-books. I would even suggest that UNC reduce the amount of money allocated to students for printing gradually and instead encourage professors to require that homework be submitted online. The money formerly used for paper could be transferred to something more environmentally friendly, like purchasing eReaders that can be checked out in the library. The non-textbook e-books available on these devices (like the Amazon Kindle and the iPad) have also been gaining popularity recently. In 2010, e-book sales represented 8.32 percent of total book sales, up from 3.2 percent the previous year. Finally, the main objection to eReaders that the energy required to make and use one exceeds the carbon impact of making a book is largely invalid: The carbon emitted in the life cycle of an Amazon Kindle is fully offset after one year of use, according to a study by Cleantech Group LLC. So if Ive made you feel guilty about the newspaper youre holding, dont despair. You can still recycle it.

lETTErS TO THE EDiTOr

Photo contest supports social entrepreneurship
TO THE EDITOR: UNCs commitment to supporting social entrepreneurship has created incredible organizations like Carolina for Kibera and Nourish International. A little less well-known than its peers is 2010 Carolina Challenge Grant winner A Ban Against Neglect (ABAN), founded by UNC student Callie Brauel. ABANs office is on Franklin Street, but the heart of its work is in Ghana. ABAN runs a facility in Ghana that provides a safe haven, trade skills and education to 20 young women (aged 16 to 20), many of whom have children. The women help fund this two-year apprenticeship program by producing up-cycled products out of littered plastic and beautiful batik fabrics. Part of the proceeds from each product goes into a savings account for the apprentice so she will have enough savings upon graduation to launch her future and that of her childs. ABANs U.S. operations are run mostly by UNC interns. To spread the word about ABAN, they have launched a $100 photo contest. All you have to do is buy an ABAN product, take a photo of yourself with it and send it to kirsten@aban.org. She will post it on ABANs Facebook page, and the photo with the most likes wins. You can buy ABAN products tonight at the United We Love event from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Chi Omega sorority house. A photographer will be on hand. ABAN is proud to be a product of UNCs global initiatives.

This means that workers who speak out for better working conditions or wages could be fired, reinforcing an environment that already disrespects and silences workers at the University.

A place to call our own

he Student Union was designed to be both presided over and enjoyed by UNC students, and for the most part, its operations are funded by student fees. So there is some irony in the fact that the Unions basement is one of the most noticeably underused spaces on campus. Upcoming renovations, however, will provide students with an opportunity to bring new life or at least lots of hungry college students to the basement of the Union.

EDiTOriAl

Changes could breathe new life into Student Unions basement.

In August, a 24-hour Wendys is scheduled to open in the space. The area surrounding the chosen location, which currently closes at 1 a.m., will also begin staying open around the clock. We hope students take advantage of this opportunity to reclaim a space that has been far too empty for too long. Union officials are planning to spruce up the area around the Wendys. Ideally, it will become a lounge where students can study, eat and socialize. These improvements are substantially less exciting than those planned for the second phase of the renovations, which were derailed by a student referendum last year.

If Union officials ever hope to garner support for the second phase of the renovations which would require an increase in student fees it is important that students feel like the first phase of renovations has actually marked an improvement. If the basement continues to be underused, students will likely feel their money was wasted, and theyll be unlikely to support future renovations. In the end, however, it is the students who will decide whether the space becomes a hub or a waste of furniture and electricity. And since we paid for it, we ought to take ownership of the process of defining its function.

Amendment One would only increase legal gaps

TO THE EDITOR: To get a Domestic Violence Protection Order in North Carolina, a civil order that provides protection from someone who you have/had a personal relationship with, one must be seeking protection from: Your spouse or ex-spouse A person of the opposite sex with whom you live or used to live Someone you are related to, including parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren, over the age of 16 Someone with whom you have a child in common A current or former household member Someone of the opposite sex whom you are dating or have dated Notice something missing? Already in North Carolina there is a huge gap in our legal system for the LGBTQI community. Amendment One would only give this gap more depth and permanence. Domestic violence is certainly not limited to a man and a woman or household members. Why should protection by the law be so limited? Here are some statistics on domestic violence in the LGBTQI community: In a study noting the rate of intimate-partner violence among men, 39 percent of those interviewed reported being battered by a partner in the past five years. In a similar study with individuals who identified as lesbian, more than 50 percent report being abused by their partner in their lifetime. In another study with individuals identifying as transgender or intersex, it was reported that 50 percent of respondents had been raped or assaulted by a romantic partner. And violence is not only physical. Its emotional, spiritual, physical and psychological. Violence is violence, and it needs to end, no matter what a persons orientation. Just something to think about when all the voting begins. Lindsay Larison 13 Nursing

Educating non-educators
tudents should take note of a new course of study scheduled to launch in the fall of 2012: the education minor. The minor, which is currently accepting applications for its first class, will provide students interested in education policy an avenue to investigate these issues without devoting all of their coursework to studying education.

EDiTOriAl

A variety of students can learn from UNCs new education minor.

This is especially valuable for students interested in Teach For America, which was the largest single employer of UNC students who graduated in 2009 and 2010. For these students, the education minor could have provided them with critical knowledge about education policy and actual classroom experience before they embarked on the incredibly intense and challenging twoyear stint. This is not to say the minor wouldnt be useful to those uninterested in Teach for

America. It could still provide a valuable perspective on education policy, an issue which affects us all, directly or indirectly. The students and administrators who helped plan the minor should be applauded for the creativity and tenacity they demonstrated in establishing it. It isnt easy to get a new program like this off the ground, especially when faced with todays budgetary obstacles. We look forward to observing the progress, and hopefully the success, the minor will enjoy as it enters its first year.

A bill to silence the voice of University workers

TO THE EDITOR: A bill proposed in the North Carolina Senate and moving through the legislature, Senate Bill 575, will radically change the rights of workers across UNC-system schools. SB 575 would remove UNC employees from the legal guarantees provided to them under the State Personnel Act and give sole and complete authority to the Board of Governors to manage SPA positions. With this change, the Board of Governors would act in whatever way it saw fit to determine the parameters of employment for UNC employees, including setting health and disability benefits, wages, grievance policies, disciplinary measures and human resources policies. There would be no higher authority, no external, objective system of checks and balances to catch possible or actual abuses of power. The consequences of this legislation are that workers could face an even more difficult work environment, becoming essentially at-will employees who can be fired

lems within their department by providing faculty with an outlet for frustrations. In such a small department, its all too easy for simmering resentments to build up. A few good take-downs and chokes could solve a lot of problems, James said. Goldberg also sees opportunity for reconciliation through athletic competition. It would certainly settle the debate Ive been having for years with this schmuck in the department whos an incompatibilist and thinks indeterminism holds no hope of free action, Goldberg explained. No expense will be spared in outfitting the new facility, whose plans also boast a 30,000-squarefoot Academic Support Center. This wing of the center will house classrooms for private tutoring, a state-of-the-art computer lab and extra office space.

Sharon Goodwin, associate professor of English, was especially pleased to learn of the new offices. Im pretty sure my office has asbestos in it, and the ceiling leaks when it rains. Now Ill have an attractive, non-carcinogenic place to meet students, Goodwin said, adding that she is also really excited about the free Xerox machines I thought I was going to have to format my final exams in six-point typeface. In the centers new Blue Zone, the Aries Clubs most devoted patrons will be as close to facultyathlete action as they can get without actually wearing a helmet. Prices for suites and loges range from $2,500 to $50,000 per year, not including the cost of tickets to individual sporting events. Given their long-winded lectures, I always suspected my econ professors would do well in an endurance sport like track and field, remarked donor Dusty Dibbert, a 1981 UNC graduate who oversees the Charlotte offices of Fraternitas Partners, LLC, a New York-based hedge fund. Now, Dibbert and other generous sponsors of the center will be able to watch the competition from the comfort of the climatecontrolled Premium Blue Zone. I have a feeling my old profs will cream the poli sci department, Dibbert said. Especially in the long-distance races.
