Laurence alvin Lovette Jr. was 17 years old at the time of carsons murder and does not face the death penalty.
accused in the March 2008 murder of 22-year-old Carson. Judge Allen Baddour ruled that some key witnesses wont be allowed in the courtroom during the trial. Carsons parents, who might be called as witnesses, will be allowed in the courtroom. District Attorney Jim Woodall said that qualification was merely a precaution. Its doubtful her parents would be called, Woodall said. Baddour also said he will allow
Laurence Alvin Lovette Jr., the man prosecutors say killed former student body president Eve Carson, pleaded not guilty on counts of first-degree murder, armed robbery, felony larceny and first-degree kidnapping, charges he will face when his case comes to trial Nov. 28. Lovettes formal charges were read in Orange County District Court on Thursday, a required step before the trial. Lovette is the second man
for individual juror selection in an effort to ensure fairness and speed in jury selection, but he said he reserves the right to monitor that decision. The cases extensive pretrial coverage prompted the defense to ask for individual selection. Woodall said he expects jury selection to take four to five days after it begins Nov. 29. Prosecutors say Lovette and Demario James Atwater kidnapped Carson from her home. They drove Carson in her Toyota Highlander to a bank and withdrew money from her account, authorities say. Officials say they then shot Carson five times in a neighborhood off East Franklin Street. Atwater pleaded guilty to the murder and other charges tied to
the killing and has been sentenced to life in prison. He faced the death penalty if found guilty in court instead of pleading guilty. Lovette was 17 at the time of the murder and cant receive the death penalty. The prosecution and defense attorney Karen Bethea-Shields disagreed about which autopsy photos and photos from the scene should be shown in court. The defense contested that certain photos are not necessary and could create prejudice against Lovette, but Woodall said some are essential to demonstrate the layout of the scene where Carson was found. I know these are difficult photos to look at, Woodall said. But
HANDLED BY HOKIES
Despite vehement student opposition, UNC administrators approved Thursday a 15.6 percent tuition hike proposal for in-state students. With the exception of Student Body President Mary Cooper, the UNC Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve the proposal that would increase in-state students tuition by $2,800 during the next five years. Cooper asked the board to postpone the decision until December. She said a delay would help students and administrators work together to create a more modest proposal. But her motion to delay the vote failed. Administrators supported the significant tuition hike, saying it was the only way to improve the
Universitys faculty retention rates. $ $ During the last two years, TUITION more than 50 percent of UNC faculty members who have received offers from other institutions chose to leave. Students speaking at the board meeting said the tuition hike would diminish the Universitys ability to attract talented and diverse students. If we raise tuition we are going to lose students, said junior Cornell Jordan, who spoke on behalf of students at the meeting. What is a faculty member without a diverse group of students? Bruce Carney, executive vice chancellor and provost, said tuition hikes will not be the only avenue administrators will explore in an attempt to offset budget cuts. We have a lot to do. We are not asking students to do all of this themselves, he said. We will cer$ $ $
dth/SPencer herlong Sophomore safety Tre Boston tries to bring down a Virginia Tech player in UNCs 24-21 loss to the Hokies at Lane Stadium.
BLACKSBURG, Va. Lane Stadium and Ryan Houston have history. As a freshman, Houston fumbled the ball at the goal line in a 17-10 loss to the Hokies. Two years ago Ryan Houston pounded the ball 20 yards against the Hokies defense to set up North Carolinas game-winning field goal. And in Thursdays 24-21 loss, Lane Stadium got the best of him again. I pride myself on holding onto the ball, an emotional Houston said. For me to lose the ball is unreal for me. The last time I remember fumbling was when I was here my freshman year right on that same goal line. It just brought back bad memories. After scoring first Thursday and forcing an ensuing turn-
over on downs, UNCs offense drove the ball to the 5-yard line with a chance to take a two-possession lead. Instead, Houston fumbled the ball inside the 5-yard line, and the Hokies took over and scored 24 unanswered points. That play changed the game. UNCs offense wasnt on the field for the next nine minutes, and those nine minutes were likely longer for Houston than anyone else. He felt it. This is my last time here, Houston said. Two years ago when we came up here on a Thursday and we kicked butt. We could have done the same thing today, and I just feel like I just didnt do the best I could today to put the team in the best position to win. North Carolina was in position to win after a quick start, though. The Tar Heels scored faster than they had all season, and
Students and families are our last resort for revenue. We have, unfortunately, reached the point of last resort.
holden Thorp, Unc chancellor
chancellor and provost, said the expected $15 million increase in tuition revenue will make faculty more hopeful for the future. The Universitys future is more than courses, Carney told the board. It is faculty. But plans to lobby for faculty pay increases might not pay off. Rep. Hugh Blackwell, R-Burke, who is co-chairman of the N.C. House Appropriations Subcommittee on Education, said a pay increase for UNC faculty is out of the question. I dont think we will give increases to UNC-Chapel Hill, when we dont give increases to anybody else in the state. I dont think the legislature is going to play favorites, he said. The faculty at Chapel Hill are already among some of the highest people paid in the state.

For administrators and trustees, the decision to propose increasing tuition by 15.6 percent for in-state students came down to the financial needs of faculty, whose salaries have been frozen for three years. UNC administrators have long stressed the dire situation of departments that find their faculty leaving for other schools. For trustees, that concern outweighed concerns for the future of the Universitys affordability. A proposal by Student Body President Mary Cooper to postpone the Board of Trustees decision to December was voted down after Chancellor Holden Thorp said administrators would need the time to lobby the state legislature for salary increases. Students and families are our last resort for revenue, Thorp told trustees. We have, unfortunately, reached the point of last resort. Bruce Carney, executive vice

Juvenile joyriding
h, Florida. Why must you fail at everything? Deciding that driving is just too fun of an activity to wait 16 years for and that legally obtaining a vehicle is just too hard a 10-year-old elementary school student broke into an impound lot in Eatonville, Fla., Wednesday and stole a pickup truck. Authorities claim the boy scaled a 10-foot-high chain-link fence at around 3 p.m. Wednesday, climbed into a white pickup truck and drove right through the fence and onto the street. No word on how he got the keys. After a witness informed police of the theft, the boy was chased by authorities for several blocks before crashing into a light pole. The crash caused an electric wire to fall on a nearby house, setting it on fire. There were no serious injuries. After trying to run from police, the boy was finally brought down. The lesson here is clear, kids: real life doesnt work like Grand Theft Auto.
NOTED. Well, at least he was telling the truth. Kevin Daly, 22, of Coram, N.Y., was out driving early Thursday morning when he crashed into a police cruiser that was on patrol for drunk drivers. Needless to say, Daly was just the kind of driver the officer was looking for. No word on whether Daly took a field sobriety test, but he may not have needed to. His T-shirt read, Im a drunk. QUOTED. The more toppings a man has on his pizza, I believe the more manly he is Because the more manly man is not afraid of abundance. Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfathers Pizza. Put aside, for a moment, the thought that a pizza chain executive could be our next president. That is not important. What is important is that cheese pizza is for sissies.

The UNC systems push to consolidate and streamline universities online education programs might still be in its early stages, but administrators already have one model to follow an emerging foreign language consortium. A report presented at the UNC-system Board of Governors meeting last week by Jim Woodward, former chancellor of UNC-Charlotte and North Carolina State University, recommended universities develop a system-wide structure for online courses to cut costs during a tough budgetary climate. Woodward said the system
should utilize its foreign language consortium as a pilot program before implementing the new online structure. Foreign language department chairmen from schools across the system met in May and recommended the formation of a UNC Foreign Language Assembly, a consortium that would merge foreign language programs struggling to attract students with more successful programs through online courses. William Andrews, senior associate dean for fine arts and humanities at UNC-CH, said the University is discussing options for offering Portuguese courses at other institutions that lack the program. The pilot program represents an opportunity for campus collaboration, said Alisa Chapman, associate vice president for academic planning and universityschool programs for the system.
Its really a wonderful opportunity that we have these individuals coming together to think about how we might expand access and at the same time be more efficient, she said. Students who attempt to register for online courses often fail to clear the bureaucratic hurdles set in place by other universities admissions departments, according to Woodwards report. He recommended that the pilot program develop an online course pool and system-wide registration process available for students at each campus. Online courses could also expand beyond the states borders to accommodate international students and generate revenue for universities, said Phil Dixon, a member of the board. For example, 70 million Chinese students have expressed interest in taking an online course before participating in an exchange program.
Dixon said universities could save millions from an online course pool by avoiding the construction of costly new schools. The UNC system has sustained more than $1 billion in state funding cuts during the last five years. Were beyond the point now where we can continue to build brick and mortar, he said. But Andrews said cost savings shouldnt necessarily be a priority for campuses interested in expanding online education. We shouldnt be starting out thinking the first thing is to figure out how we can save a dollar, he said. The first thing we should consider is how would this technology, how would these circumstances be a benefit to our mission. Universities would also need to determine how tuition revenue would be shared among a students home institution and the campus offering the online course, he said.
Such logistical issues will be a primary focus of the systems new director of online services, a position administrators will fill by March, Chapman said. The online director will also examine efforts by other university systems to increase their scale of online services. The University of California system has discussed developing 25 to 40 more online courses, while the University System of Georgia launched a system-wide registration tool for online courses this spring. Board Chairwoman Hannah Gage said the position will require an individual with a long-term vision for instruction. We want a bold thinker, someone that can not only coordinate what we have and do better with e-learning, she said, but also help us design the architecture of the future.

Occupy Chapel Hill took to the streets again Thursday night, less than a week after seven protesters were arrested during what many believed to be an overly aggressive police raid. More than 50 protesters marched down Franklin and Rosemary streets, walking in solidarity with the seven protesters who were arrested in Sundays raid for breaking into the former Yates Motor Company building on West Franklin Street. The seven defendants pled not guilty to misdemeanor charges of breaking and entering in Orange County District Court earlier that morning. The defendants, Ellen Crawford, 23, of Richmond, Va.; Kassandra Ofray, 21, of Pittsboro; Jack Ryan Jarrell, 24, and David Maliken, 24, of Carrboro; and Eva Jones, 22, Daniel Regenscheit, 27, and Monica Ganguly, 29, of Chapel Hill, will reappear in court Jan. 30. Outside the courthouse, a group of about 10 people held signs that condemned the use of force by the Chapel Hill Police Department in the raid. The department has been criticized for its use of forceful tactics to break up the gathering last Sunday. Jose Hernandez, who was holding a sign that read CHPD: Defy Unjust Orders Now, said the group protesting outside the courthouse was there to support the seven defendants. Were protesting the unnecessary use of force by the Chapel Hill Police against the people inside, Hernandez said. Judge Lunsford Long also lifted the defendants restriction from being on Franklin Street, which was put in place after the raid Sunday. The new order bans the defendants presence within 50 feet of the former Yates building, with the exception that they can drive by in a motor vehicle. The Thursday night walk, which lasted about 30 minutes, was monitored by at least four police escorts who helped stop traffic. Though many came out to support the defendants, some Occupy Chapel Hill members say the arrests have created internal dissent among those who wanted to keep the protests peaceful and legal. During a Sunday night march protesting the police raid and arrests that day, members chanted criticisms of law enforcement. But similar chants were quickly hushed in Thursdays march. The group of occupiers also collectively agreed to not destroy public property. Heather Epes, a Carrboro resident, said the raid and
dth/allison russell Protesters of the Occupy Chapel Hill movement marched down Franklin Street toward Greenbridge Thursday night.
arrests on Sunday gave the group a chance to reevaluate their goals and tactics. We had this very jarring thing happen, she said. Weve had a chance to take a big breath. She said she will still support the occupation. In some ways, I feel I have been occupying my whole life, she said. And many Occupy Chapel Hill members say the police controversy has increased community support. Cammie Bellamy, a sophomore journalism major,
who said she has been involved with Occupy Chapel Hill since protesters began occupying the Peace and Justice Plaza in Chapel Hill on Oct. 15, said the movement has inspired her. I think this is the biggest, most visible movement of my lifetime, she said. Staff Writer Conor Furlong contributed to reporting. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.
A UNC student charged with robbing a SunTrust Bank in Apex on Nov. 7 is in a New Jersey jail after turning himself in. Gordon Miller Goodwin, 22, was arrested Saturday at 11 p.m. in the casino at the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City, a detective with Atlantic City police said Thursday. Police say Goodwin robbed a SunTrust Bank inside the Kroger supermarket off U.S. Highway 64. After the robbery, the Apex Police Department issued a warrant for Goodwins arrest. Police said Goodwin passed a note to the teller at the SunTrust Bank demanding money. The teller was 45-year-old Melissa Cooper. Goodwin took $4,500 from the bank, according to the police report. The police report lists the robbery as armed. Capt. Ann Stephens of Apex police said Goodwin did not possess a firearm during the robbery. Goodwin is now in jail at the Atlantic County Jail in New Jersey, waiting for transportation back to North Carolina. Diana Goodwin, Gordon Goodwins mother, said she received a phone call from him Saturday night. He did call me, but it was his choice to turn himself in to the police, she said. Were going one day at a time. Goodwins stepmother, Christine Goodwin, said she was shocked at the arrest. We never (thought) Gordon could do such a thing, she said. Gordon is a good kid. Its just horrible. Department of Public Safety spokesman Randy Young said any decision regarding Goodwins status as a student will be handled through the Honor Court.

Carrboro hopes to prove it is ready to show some love. The Oprah Winfrey Network and the BBC Network have selected the town as a finalist for the location of their reality show Lovetown, USA, in which professional matchmakers will visit for 30 days to match up local singles. A BBC production crew will visit on Friday to hold a photo shoot at Town Commons to capture the essence of the community. Annette Stone, Carrboros economic and community development director, said the shows producers were looking for a small town with a scenic location and a strong sense of community. She said she hopes everyone will come out and participate. We want everyone to come out and be themselves, and show their character, Stone said. Mayor Mark Chilton encouraged residents to come to the photo shoot and be creative.
Bring your hula hoop, djembe, skateboard or whatever, he said. Help us celebrate the diversity of our community. Anyone who has a Carrboro mailing address even if the person is a student is eligible and encouraged to apply to be on the show. Applications are already being accepted, though producers have yet to decide if Carrboro will be a Lovetown. Residents are pushing to make sure the town chosen to host the show. Carrboro musician Billy Sugarfix wrote a rap song about the unique places in Carrboro, which was used in the towns video application for the show. Others explained that the town would fit the shows vision. This is the ideal community. We are a Southern, yet progressive little town, said resident Keith Erskine. Kristin Esterley, another Carrboro resident, said the towns diversity will help it stand out. I definitely think Carrboro has the character they want, Esterley said. There are so many different kinds of people here. But locals are working to bring the show to town in hopes that it will do more than spice up their
love lives. Stone said she feels the show will bring the town the national attention it deserves. Hopefully, it will generate tourism, and maybe some of those tourists will come back and become residents, she said. Chilton said he also anticipates the show will benefit Carrboro and Chapel Hill restaurants and hotels. And Sugarfix hopes it will bring attention to the art scene. This show could do a lot for local artists, he said. He said the town is filled with local artists work, so filming would likely include it. The sound track could come entirely from local acts, Sugarfix said. It would be a quality sound track. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.
dAILY TAR heeL: Why did you decide to adapt Eating Animals into a performance piece?
Performance Collective does very politically focused work, so as soon as this book was announced as the summer reading book, I had the idea to do the project. It was the perfect kind of piece for us because its about a very complicated and thorny political and ethical issue. Its not one that has a simple right or wrong position.
TP: And I wanted it to challenge my own positions. I am not a vegetarian. But I am very thoughtful about what I do buy, and eat and cook. Ever since I was a college student, I had a deep suspicion that there was something ethically suspicious about eating meat. So I did what most of us do: I just didnt think about it. dTh: How did the show come together? TP: It was challenging. Parts of the book, as Foer has written them, are friendly to an adaptation because as he says, the way we justify eating factory-farmed meat is the story we tell about what we eat. Its also why its hard to give up eating meat because eating practices are so bound up with the stories we tell about our culture. Many of the stories of our childhood are bound up with the things we were eating.
So thats one side of it. The other is our group is a collaborative group. We make work together. Oftentimes, I would give them some type of prompt. Sometimes Im writing by myself, sometimes theyre doing composition work by themselves and then we lay them on top of each other.
dTh: Did making this project change your perceptions of eating animals and vegetarianism? TP: I was very curious to see how deeply it would change my eating habits, because my wife is vegetarian and Im not. So Im used to cooking my separate meat portion. I havent stopped eating meat, but Im fortunate to live two blocks from the Durham farmers market and so I now only buy local meat. People do know that animals are treated poorly. People do know that if they saw how their meat was treated, they may not want to eat it. But I dont think they know its almost universally the case now and that it wasnt always the way it is now. And if it wasnt always the way it is now, then it doesnt have to always be the way it is in the future.

Gibson said. It was in August, I believe, and I had to send all this stuff in for consideration. Then I was notified by email that Id made the top 30. The award is presented each year to the outstanding senior NCAA Division-I Student-Athlete of the Year in 10 different sports. The award celebrates seniors who have honored a four-year commitment to their school and who have excelled in four areas: community, classroom, character and competition. Gibson was not expecting to make it as far as she has in the selection process. One of my teammates came up to me in the academic center and congratulated me on being a finalist and I said, Thanks, thinking she meant for being in
the top 30, Gibson said. But she told me that Id made the top 10. I couldnt believe it. During her junior year, Gibson was selected as the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and was a member of the All-ACC First Team and the AVCA East Region team and was an All-American Honorable mention player. Its fitting (that shes nominated for the award), Sagula said.

On the rise
After losing 3-2 in double overtime to the Terrapins in College Park in last years national championship game, the Tar Heels are back in the NCAA semifinals looking for revenge in 2011. North Carolina will play Connecticut at 2 p.m. today in Louisville, Ky., for a spot in the national title game. Maryland will play the No. 2 seed Old Dominion in the other semifinal game to decide who will play for the title on Sunday at noon.

UNC wrestling
The North Carolina wrestling team was slapped with four quick losses to start the dual season. In the Wrestle for a Cure duals in Harrisburg, Va., the Tar Heels lost to Illinois, Boston University, Nebraska and Ohio State all on the same day. In the Tar Heels defense, three of those teams are ranked in the top 25 and two in the top 10. To make matters worse, the only returning 2011 ACC champion on the Tar Heel roster, Zac Bennett, will be sidelined until after the winter holidays as he recovers from a shoulder injury. For the Tar Heels sake, its a good thing the ACC isnt quite as loaded as the Wrestle for a Cure duals.
Ben Speas
Junior forward Ben Speas earned Most Valuable Player honors in last weekends ACC tournament for his two-goal, oneassist performance in the championship game. The Tar Heels took that match from Boston College 3-1 to win the ACC title. That offensive outburst doubled Speas goal count for the season. Its heat check time now for the Akron transfer since the NCAA tournament is here and the Tar Heels will have their first NCAA tournament game Sunday at 5 p.m.

According to Chapel Hill police reports, Officer Bellavance found former UNC right-handed pitcher Cody Stiles drunk and disruptive on Franklin Street early Saturday morning. Stiles was arrested on charges of underage consumption, being drunk and disruptive and resisting arrest and was held on a $300 secured bond at Orange County Jail. Stiles, who was 4-0 with a 2.23 ERA last year for the Tar Heels in 12 appearances, is no longer on the team. Stiles was drafted in the 39th round by the New York Yankees out of high school but elected to come to Chapel Hill instead. He will be eligible for next Junes MLB draft.
With familiar opponents on the other side of the bracket, the North Carolina team will have to eliminate a team they havent seen this year to compete for a seventh national championship. Today, No. 1-seeded UNC will face the No. 4-seeded University of Connecticut Huskies in the semifinals of the NCAA tournament in Louisville, Ky. This will be the first meeting between the Tar Heels (22-1) and the Huskies (19-2) this season. Connecticut went 1-1 against ACC opponents during the regular season, losing 3-1 to then-No. 8 Boston College on Sept. 18. Senior captain Katelyn Falgowski said the team will need to be prepared for the Huskies ability to launch aerial passes, a tactic used in field hockey to clear the ball or to create a breakaway on the attacking half. The Tar Heels are 2-0 all-time against the Huskies in NCAA tournament play. Their most recent matchup occurred in 2007 when the undefeated Tar Heels beat the Huskies 4-2 in the semifinals on their way to the national championship. After dominant offensive displays against Ohio and Michigan last weekend, UNC reclaimed its title as the nations best defensive team and has the nations most shutouts with 12. Falgowski still thinks the teams best performances are yet to come. Going into this weekend I still dont think were satisfied with where we are, she said. I feel like we left a lot of things out on that field that we wanted to finish. The defensive backline of Meghan Dawson, Teryn Brill, ACC defensive player of the year Caitlin Van Sickle and Marta Malmberg has kept opponents in check, holding them to an average of just 4.7 shots per game. Dawson said having Sassi Ammer behind her, a freshman goalie whose first language is not English, has made communication a bit tricky at times, but that the goals of the defense remain the same. For us not giving up corners and not letting teams get into our 25 or have shots on goal is something we kind of take pride in, Dawson said. If the Tar Heels make it beyond the Huskies, either unseeded Maryland or No. 2-seeded Old

Dominion would be the last obstacle in the way of the national championship trophy making its way to Chapel Hill for the first time since 2009. Maryland owned UNC last year as it beat the Tar Heels three times, the last in a crushing 3-2 double overtime national championship game. This year, North Carolina beat Maryland 2-1 in Chapel Hill on Oct. 22. On the other hand, Old Dominion gave UNC its only loss this season, and while the Tar Heels evened the score by beating ODU in the final game of the regular season, the fact remains that the Monarchs are the only team to have outplayed the Tar Heels for 70 minutes. We had a stretch that was pretty much uninspired and I think losing to Old Dominion was an awakening, coach Karen Shelton said. You form, everything gets normal, and then you have some kind of crisis, and then you can really perform. The Tar Heels go to Louisville riding a 17-game win streak that dates back to September, and Shelton said she thinks her team will be able to keep its emotions in check as it inches closer to the pinnacle of its sport. I think we are a mature and veteran team thats been there before, Shelton said. Theres a sense of excitement and pride in being there, but not a sense of overwhelming awe.

On the womens side, the Tar Heels took the top three spots in the 400-yard medley relay and claimed first and third place in the 200-yard freestyle relay.

viduals charged in the January 2008 shooting of Duke University graduate student Abhijit Mahato, who was killed in his off-campus apartment.

Bethea-Shields wouldnt comment on whether she was referencing the Mahato case with her request that certain statements be excluded, and Woodall said he couldnt comment on whether a link existed.

North Carolina recovered the loose ball and drove it 20 yards for a touchdown just 1:18 into the game. Running back Giovani Bernard scored on a 4-yard rush after making a defender miss in the backfield with a spin move. Momentum stayed with the Tar Heels.

Administration by Dec. 9. They will then go to the UNC-system Board of Governors, which will recommend finalized proposals to the N.C. General Assembly.
The legislature is already talking about how to cover that. Last years 15.6 percent budget cut to the system prompted many schools to eliminate resources, such as counseling services, course offerings and about 3,000 faculty positions. Obviously, we live in an era right now of fiscal uncertainty and we know that campus balance sheets are impacted by several areas, Perusse said. As theres pressures on state appropriations and federal money, thats why you look at potentially more tuition because they all impact the bottom line. State & National Editor Isabella Cochrane contributed reporting. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com. Sudhanshu Handa, chairman of the public policy department, said retention might worsen as faculty members realize the budget crisis isnt near its end. That sentiment was some trustees rationale for favoring Carneys proposal, which calls for a 4 percent raise for faculty next year. Handa said departments have considered offering faculty more research time in lieu of salaries that have not increased. The idea is that if the monetary compensation isnt changing, then maybe faculty could be given more time to do research, but then thats less teaching time, Handa said. And then if professors teach less, where does that leave the students and the teaching assistants? Thats the crux of the dilemma. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

But faculty leaving UNC for other schools has become painful for many department chairmen. I dread a visit from a faculty member that theyve gotten a wonderful offer from another institution because our ability to capture and counter-offer that is limited, said Bill Kier, chairman of the biology department. Paul Leslie, chairman of the anthropology department, said a positive teaching environment plays an equally large role as salary increases in retaining faculty. If it reduces class sizes or provides opportunities for new experimental courses, that helps not only students, but improves the experience for instructors and faculty, Leslie said.

All this tuition increase does is bring the cost realized by students slightly closer to its true cost. If an education is not worth you paying for, then why is it worth the government paying for?

On to the state
n its vote to raise tuition Thursday, the Board of Trustees drove yet another nail into affordable educations proverbial coffin but not before taking one last chance to prove just how hurried this years tuition process has been. After motioning on behalf of her committee to vote on Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carneys proposal, trustee Sallie ShupingRussell seconded Student Body President Mary Coopers motion to delay the vote another month, only to withdraw it and vote to raise in- and out-of-state tuition by 15.6 and 6.5 percent, respectively. Her reluctance, yet insistence to send the proposal along to the Board of Governors, showed just how far UNC backed itself into a corner. But the board and administration arent the only ones deserving of blame. Coopers proposal to raise in-state tuition 6.4 percent and out-of-state tuition 4 percent deserved all the praise it received, especially when one considers that it was pieced together, as she said Thursday,

with one Excel sheet, with Google and a weekend. Impressive though that may be, waiting until the last second deprived an otherwise well thought-out proposal of a chance. Its now Coopers obligation to make up for lost time. From the beginning of her administration, Cooper has shown a savvy for coordinating students at a state-wide level. During the summer, she mobilized students on a lobbying campaign meant to spare the University from as many budget cuts as possible. She should employ a similar strategy to make preserving public education a campaign issue for the 2012 election year. As the past year and its 15.6 percent, or $414 million, cut to UNC system has shown, some state legislators lack an appreciation for higher education and the benefits it reaps for the states economy. Before legislators sign off on any tuition proposal, the Universitys plan must pass through the Board of Governors. To date, this board has not had the courage to fend off tuition increases and say enough to the state. Students are uniquely suited to fill this role, but their
potential wasnt tapped on this campus until last week, with Coopers tuition forums. With the filing deadline for 2012 elections coming in February, this potential must be channeled toward the source of the UNC systems financial hardship the state legislature. This shouldnt be a tough sell for in-state students, who face a tuition hike that more than doubles the BOGs 6.5 percent cap on such increases. Many of their families have spent years dutifully paying taxes to the state with the understanding that they would one day afford tuition at UNC or any other UNC-system school. Tuition should be kept within their grasp. Its time for students to finally draw a line in the sand. Its time to tell the state that the University has cut itself down to the bone, that the UNC system has a contract to keep education affordable. Its time for legislators to know that, with each successive year of budget cuts, they violate that contract more and more. And its time for students to realize their role in maintaining that contract and making the preservation of highquality, accessible education a prerequisite for public office.
uring Thursdays full Board of Trustees meeting, Student Body President Mary Coopers thoughtful proposal was briefly acknowledged by the trustees but dismissed as a real alternative. Standing up to the board on behalf of more than 500 students stories she has collected over the past two weeks, Cooper asked the trustees for one thing: time. If the board could only postpone the vote until December, she suggested, alternative proposals could be further developed and seriously considered. In Coopers own words, We did this with one Excel document, with Google and a weekend. Imagine what we could do in one more month. It is clear to students that our University has critical needs. As the members of the tuition and fee advisory task force and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carney have demonstrated, we are losing professors to universities that can give them the pay they deserve. And the University has been forced to cut about 16,000 course seats. State budget cuts are hurting our university and something must be done. But this budgetary side of the
story has been allowed to dominate the conversation. The real impact of tuition hikes, especially on lowand middle-income students, has not been sufficiently discussed. Its commendable that UNC is keeping its commitment to providing 100 percent of need-based financial aid. But, as students, we know that aid packages do not cover all costs. We know that there are more loans on the way for many of us, nonetheless. We dont know how much greater the student debt burden will be (though we expect that it will be substantially greater) and the board does not seem to know any of this information either. Meanwhile, students have begun developing alternative solutions that protect the quality
of this university without giving up its founding principle of public accessibility. The board has indicated that these alternatives have promise but need to be further developed. Before we commit to Carneys proposal, we need to make sure the student alternatives are given a fighting chance. The board ignored Coopers motion to postpone the vote and left her as the lone dissenting vote. But this fight is not over. We have until February, when the Board of Governors casts its final vote on the plan, to do the research that remains to be done and above all to mobilize. According to the (Raleigh) News & Observer, BOG member Fred Eshelman said, Its absolutely counterintuitive if you say when the economy goes to hell, we make people pay more. Eshelman is right. UNC can preserve its quality in a way that is more humane and publicly minded than the impending plan. And if Eshelmans words are any indication, we will have at least one ally at the board meeting in February. With time, research and an organized student body, I bet a few more can be won over.
