Residents
contest high
water bills

KNOCKED DOWN,
KNOCKED OUT

A property company has ignored

residents water bill complaints.
By Marisa Bakker
Staff Writer

A property management company with locations in Carrboro has been accused of raising
water bill rates without residents knowledge
or consent and attempts by town officials to
find out what is going on have been ignored.
Rev. Nathan Hollister, community organizer and advocate for many residents of apartment complexes owned by General Services
Corporation, which manages nine complexes
in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, said the company
has begun charging exorbitant amounts for
water bills on all nine of its properties.

Athletes
weigh in on
getting paid
A landmark lawsuit could change
collegiate amateurism in sports.
Amy Tsai
Senior Writer

Starting point guard Marcus Paige might be

an amateur, but this month his signed jersey is
going for about $270 on Ebay nearly $195
more than what UNC Student Stores charges
for his nameless, unsigned jerseys replica.
Despite his signatures worth, Paige cannot
reap the monetary benefits of his success as a
UNC student-athlete.
Just about every student-athlete will go pro
in something other than sports thats what
promotions for the NCAA promise.
But a federal lawsuit, Edward OBannon, Jr.
v. NCAA, is spurring the nationwide debate on
whether student-athletes deserve to be paid
based on participation in revenue-generating
collegiate sports.
UNCs varsity mens sports generated a total
revenue of about $58.1 million in 2013-14.
Womens varsity teams generated about $6.5
million. The Department of Athletics profits
were $326,731. But without revenues from the
basketball and football teams, the athletics
department would post a $7.6 million loss.
The prospect of getting paid elicited mixed
responses from players at UNC.
Steph Henrich, a senior on the womens
rowing team, said she thinks student-athletes
should get paid in the form of money made
accessible after college. She also said she thinks
it would make sense for student-athletes in
revenue sports to get paid more than those in
non-revenue sports.
Its unfair, but at the same time, I think
thats life, she said.
Junior lacrosse player Jake Matthai said
he understands the economic argument, but
he thinks its morally wrong to pay athletes in
some sports but not others.
What makes it right to pay a football player
more money when someone elses passion
say on the fencing team is equal to that of
theirs? he said.
The lawsuit is currently in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The NCAA filed
its opening brief last month and, in a joint
motion, both parties requested for oral arguments to be heard as early as April 2015.
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilkens lower
court ruling permitted the future establishment
of trust funds to compensate mens basketball
and football players for the use of their name,
image or likeness. The ruling, which is being
appealed by the NCAA, would not affect NCAA
bylaws until Aug. 1, 2015 and only applies to
colleges and universities within the U.S. District
Court for the Northern District of California.

Junior quarterback Marquise Williams (12) is sacked by N.C. State defensive tackle T.Y. McGill (75). The Tar Heels lost 35-7 to the Wolfpack on Saturday.

Marquise Williams left Saturdays game with leg injury

By Aaron Dodson
Senior Writer

Tucked away on the ground

level of Kenan Memorial Stadium,
far from the fields sideline, far
from the imaginary lines of scrimmage and far from the noise, sits
the team training room.
Its a box of hope and despair
for a player, his fate decided in
this room is he going to be
OK? Can he return to the game?
Marquise Williams hobbled
back and forth between the field
and the teams training room
in the second half of the North
Carolina football teams 35-7 loss
to N.C. State on Saturday.
Long after the defeat, the first
time N.C. State has beaten UNC
since 2011, junior offensive guard
Landon Turner paid a visit to his
quarterback in the training room.
I just apologized, Turner
said. Especially being a leader
of the offensive line, I take full
responsibility.

Its deflating: Your quarterback got hurt, and its your fault.
For two quarters and one drive,
the Wolfpack defense relentlessly
pressured Williams bursting
through the offensive line to hurry
the quarterbacks progressions.
Three times, the play ended with
Williams sacked to the ground.
The third instance, taking place
on UNCs first drive of the second
half, proved to be the most fatal
blow. N.C. State senior defensive
tackle T.Y. McGill plowed his
way to Williams, the leader of the
ACCs No. 2 scoring offense, sacking him for a loss of 11 yards.
Usually it takes some time for
Williams to get up. This time, it
took longer. Williams walked to
the sideline under his own power,
and a cart took him to the locker
room. The quarterback wouldnt
play another down the rest of the
game, ending his day with just 97
passing yards, 11 rushing yards, no
touchdowns and an interception.
Williams sustained the injury

to his lower right leg, on which a

team spokesman confirmed X-rays
came back negative, N.C. State
led UNC 21-0 with nearly two
full quarters left to play. However
bleak it was, hope persisted with
backup redshirt freshman quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who competed with Williams for the starting
job during the offseason.
Still, its hard to replace the
quarterback with the most offensive touchdowns in the ACC.
I dont think you ever want to
lose your starting quarterback in
a game, Coach Larry Fedora said.
I thought Mitch came in and did
decent with the time allotted.
Williams tried to return. He
emerged from the locker room at
the end of the third quarter, but
his leg couldnt get past warmup exercises on the sideline. His
figure disappeared into the tunnel, likely bound for the training
room a place where he could
come to terms with his cruel fate.
On the field, UNCs fate with-

out its starting quarterback was

ultimately decided. The Tar Heels
concluded the afternoon with
a season-low 207 yards of total
offense and the fewest number
of points in three seasons under
Fedora. Defensively, N.C. State
pressured whomever lined up
under center, recording four
sacks and 10 total tackles for loss.
Though he watched from the
training room for nearly two
quarters, Williams didnt hold
Turner nor the offensive line nor
the defense nor the special teams
accountable for the loss.
Tucked away in the depths
of Kenan Memorial Stadium,
nursing his leg, the quarterback
expressed guilt to senior defensive
tackle Ethan Farmer, whod just
lost his final home game of his
UNC career.
Sorry, Williams told him.
But theres nobody you can
blame on this game, Farmer said.

Title IX Coordinator Howard Kallem leaving

Kallem will soon start in a
similar position at Duke.
By Caroline Leland
Senior Writer

Less than a year after joining UNC as Title

IX coordinator, Howard Kallem is leaving for
a similar position at Duke University.
Duke presented me with a good opportunity, and at the stage of my career Im in, I
felt that it was too good to pass up, Kallem
said in an email.
Title IX coordinators are responsible for
managing a universitys compliance with
Title IX, a federal law that makes any sexbased discrimination or harassment against
students illegal.
Outgoing Director of the Carolina Womens
Center Christi Hurt, who served as Interim
Title IX Coordinator before Kallem took the
position, said UNC was lucky to have Kallem.
We have absolutely benefited from
(Kallems) expertise as somebody who knows

federal law and who has the extraordinary

capacity to write policy language, she said.
Kallem will be replaced in the interim by
Katie Nolan, who previously worked as the Title
IX coordinator at the University of Alabama.
UNC is in the midst of three federal investigations into alleged mishandling of sexual
assault cases.
UNC graduate Andrea Pino, who co-filed
one of the federal complaints against UNC in
2012, said UNCs system for handling sexual
assault has not improved much since she filed
her complaint.
Its very nave to think a person like
Howard could come in and fix everything (on
his own), she said. Its very challenging to
come to a system thats broken.
Pino said the recent media criticism of the
University of Virginias handling of sexual
assault cases including an alleged gang
rape in 2012 is the type of attention likely
to soon swing back towards UNC.
She said the many stakeholders at UNC

ot really sure we can give credit to police officers for finding

criminal activity that was right under their collective nose.
Literally. Police in South Wales smelled something a little
strange. After a bit of investigating also known as walking
outside of their building the officers found a cannabis factory next door
to the police headquarters. The officers slightly made up for their blunder by
arresting three men who were a part of the operation. Witnesses said there
could have been as much as 9,000 square feet of marijuana in the factory.
We arent really sure if this says more about the guts that it took for the
men to grow marijuana next to a police headquarters or the inability of
the police officers to walk out of their front door and look around.

Budgets cut
by 2 percent,
no jobs lost

Downtown tree lighting

kicks o holiday season

The cuts eliminated the need

for the nighttime parking fee.
By Sofia Edelman
Staff Writer

To delay the widely criticized nighttime

parking fee, UNCs administration had to
cut administrative costs by $2.6 million.
Matt Fajack, vice chancellor for finance
and administration, told the Daily Tar Heel
that recent administrative cost cuts saved
students and staff from a night-parking fee.
Each non-academic unit was allocated
a 2 percent budget cut, Fajack said in
an email. The cuts were in many areas
such as in my unit we consolidated several departments in facilities services and
reduced the number of times we clean each
office and reduced several unfilled positions.
No positions had to be terminated due to
these cuts.
Fajack said expected revenues from nightparking fees were covered by the $2.6 million saved in recent administrative cost cuts.
The proposed fee would have required
undergraduate students with the exception
of freshman to pay a $10.40 fee, allowing
student parking on campus after 5 p.m., while
faculty and staff would have had to purchase
a permit costing between $227 and $390.
Pamela Taylor, principle program evaluator for the Program Evaluation Division of the
N.C. General Assembly, said the University has
made strides to save money, such as the institution of the Carolina Counts initiative in 2009.
In our (spring 2014) report we highlighted
the Carolina Counts initiative. We identified
that as a large-scale effort on a campus that
had shown some promise in reducing costs
related to operations on campus, Taylor said.
We felt that they had the right elements in
place and had been able to achieve $58.1 million (saved) over four years.
The Carolina Counts initiative will streamline campus operations and provide more
money for academic projects on campus.
Joe Templeton, part-time special assistant
to the chancellor for planning and initiatives, said he is proud of what the initiative
has accomplished.
We had a formula that we used, and it had
to be from the continuing budget, from the
state-line or from the University funds. We
didnt count grants and contracts, so theres
a specific guideline we used to count our savings, Templeton said, Those guidelines lead
us to save $63.4 million a year from those
expenses over five years. Its an expenditure
that you take it away and its gone.
Taylor doesnt necessarily think the
Universitys high administrative costs can be
attributed to administrative bloat.
I hesitate to call it bloat because if things
are working at the level it wants to its fine,
Taylor said.
If theres a standard out there that youre
trying to achieve and you manage to achieve
it in your own resources and you have three
more people working on it than somebody
else, do you necessarily need to reduce?
Maybe not.

Carolina Blue lights brighten tree in Memorial Garden

By Kerry Lengyel
Staff Writer

With a cheerful holiday carol

on Sunday night, the downtown
Chapel Hill tree lighting ceremony at the University Baptist
Church kicked off 25 days of
Christmas.
The Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership and University
Baptist Church coordinated for
the eighth year to bring the town
a free, family-friendly event that
doubled as a fundraiser for the
International Justice Missions
human rights advocacy work.
As soon as the clock hit 6 p.m.,
town officials hit the switch and
energy-efficient Carolina Blue
lights brightened up the tree.
Its all about lighting the tree
and singing some songs, said
Meg McGurk, executive director
of the Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership. Its a great way to

start off the holiday season for

the whole community.
Children ran around the
25-foot-tall tree with excitement as their parents and siblings sipped hot chocolate and
sang along with the University
Baptist choir.
Assisted by the free parking
offered on Sundays in Chapel
Hill, the event attracted a crowd
that filled the Memorial Garden
at the church to the edges of
Columbia Street.
McGurk said the Memorial
Garden was a great place to hold
the event and that shes glad the
church partners with the town
each year.
The church is the heart and
soul of downtown, McGurk said.
Its a great space where people
love to run around and play.

Ferguson store owner gets unlikely help

A UNC student is raising
money for a boutique that
was destroyed in the riots.
Staff Writer

Staff Writer

COURTESY OF JUANITA MORRIS

Juanita Morris Fashions R Boutique was burned down during the Ferguson riots.

ing with Lee on the effort to rebuild

the Fashions R Boutique.
We wanted to do something that
was completely bipartisan, Conway
said. Her store was very much a community as much as it was a business.
Morris began Fashions R Boutique,
selling what she calls church women
suits and related accessories, out of
her home in 1986. She said she has
worked hard over the years to expand
to her current 5,000-square-foot store
on Florissant Ave. in Ferguson.
The store was not just a regular
boutique. The store was like a ministry, she said. When they just needed
to get away, they would come spend
hours just wandering around the
store just looking.
Morrison said she supported the
community by giving away hats to
bereaved women who could not
afford them and putting a couch and
television in her store for women to
sit and talk. She said the roles have
switched since the fire.
Instead of me blessing them, they
are in return blessing me, she said.

Lee created Morris fundraising page on GoFundMe, an online

donation website.
While the listed donation goal for
Morris GoFundMe is $20,000, Lee
said he hopes to surpass this goal.
According to GoFundMe, 5 percent
will be deducted by GoFundMe
from each donation received,and 3
percent processing fee is applied to
each donation given, but the rest of
the money will benefit Fashions R
Boutique. Morris says she plans to
use the money to buy new inventory
and to rebuild her storefront.
She said she plans to move into a
temporary location as soon as possible but ultimately plans to reopen
her store in the same location. She
said she is hopeful for the future.
God blessed me for 28 years to
build that store on nothing, and I
started with very little money and
built that store, she said. And I can
build again. I have faith enough that
I can build again.

will make things at home and

bring them to the event to sell
for donations.
With each homemade treat
bought, the volunteers passed
out cards from the International
Justice Mission thanking the
purchasers for their support.
In addition to the holiday
refreshments, Santa and Mrs.
Claus posed for pictures with
children and gave warm greetings to the town residents
throughout the event.
Barbara Keighton was at the
tree lighting with her daughter
Renee, who was eating a piece of
a gingerbread house her mother
had just bought.
With gingerbread in her
mouth, Renee said her favorite
part of the event was when Santa
and Mrs. Claus gave her a candy
cane to take home.

PORCH celebrates
four years of giving
The organization has
raised $1 million
in donations since 2010.

By Kristen Chung
Like millions of Americans, Juanita
Morris watched as the chaos erupted
in Ferguson, Mo., after Mondays grand
jury decision not to indict Darren
Wilson, the white police officer who
killed Michael Brown, a black teenager.
Unlike many, the Ferguson shop
owner also had to watch her 28-yearold business, Fashions R Boutique,
burn to the ground on live television.
But thanks to the work of a group
of college students and the kindness of
more than 550 strangers, over $17,800
has been raised online to rebuild
Morris store as of press time.
UNC freshman Eric Lee saw the
burning buildings and broken store
fronts on the news. He said he was
inspired to help the affected small
business owners in Ferguson, an area
25 minutes from his St. Louis home.
There are a lot of completely
innocent people, completely unrelated to the Michael Brown incident,
he said. They are being victimized
by the violence and the looting, and I
thought that was unfair.
Morris said she was devastated
about her loss but not angry.
I could talk about my business for
hours because that was a part of me,
she said.It was not only my love it
was my passion.
After conceiving the idea to raise
money for the affected businesses in
his dorm room the night of the grand
jury decision, Lee said he gathered
the support of his friends and began
calling the media and the police to
find business owners contact information. Alex Conway, a freshman at
St. Louis University, has been work-

the tree to raise money for the

International Justice Mission.
Allison James, the director of
childrens ministry at University
Baptist Church, said the mission
is a faith-based organization that
works to free modern-day slaves
and end human trafficking.
The church has been supporting the cause for eight years now,
James said. As the childrens
minister here, I personally teach
the children about how to end
modern-day slavery.
James said the church hosts a
justice camp each year to teach
children about activism to fight
human trafficking.
University Baptists mission
statement stresses that the congregation must gather as a community of faith in order to give
time, gifts and material resources
to sustain one another.
All of the cookies are homemade, James said. The kids

North Carolina regularly ranks

among the top 10 states with the
highest percentage of residents
experiencing food shortages,
according to the N.C. Association
of Feeding America Food
Banks and for the past four
years, local organization People

This month, PORCH will
have raised $1 million in the
form of both food items and
cash donations since the organization was founded on Mothers
Day in 2010.
The organization will celebrate
the milestone with a food sorting event on Dec. 15 at Chapel
Hills St. Thomas More Catholic
Church beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Susan Romaine, one of
PORCHs founders, said the organization collects what equates to
roughly $20,000 in donations
per month.
Basically, what were asking people in our community to
do is, once a month, reach into
their cupboard and pull even
just one can of soup or vegetables and place it on their porch,
she said.
People have very busy lives,
and PORCH tries to keep things
as simple as possible, knowing
that people do want to help and
do want to act, but they have busy

lives, Romaine said.

She said the organization now
has chapters in 14 other cities
and towns.
The neighborhoods in Chapel
Hill and Carrboro play a large
role in getting donations to
PORCH, Romaine said.
Within each neighborhood is
a neighborhood coordinator who
works to gather up all donations.
Not only are we helping the
people that are needy and hungry, but it is a great and easy way
for people to give back to the
community and volunteer, said
Lisa Finegan, coordinator for the
Silver Creek neighborhood in
Chapel Hill.
The ease of the program drew
me to it. Being a monthly program if you cant participate
one month, you can simply participate the next month.
The food collected from the
neighborhoods only goes to local
food pantries, Finegan said.
According to PORCHs website, nine food pantries in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro area are
served by PORCH donations.
One of these pantries is the
Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood
Association Community Center,
known as RENA.
(PORCH is) a very caring organization, said David
Caldwell, project director for
RENA.
Theyre an organization that
does not work behind a desk
they are out in the communities.
They know the people that they
work with and the people they
are helping. Its neighbors helping neighbors.

ike many, I returned

to my hometown for
Thanksgiving. Like
many, I saw family and caught
up with old friends. I am still
pretty close with my buddies
from high school, so we made
a point to see each other. The
troops rallied for a reunion at
the SweetWater Brewery in
downtown Atlanta. Afterward,
we had dinner in a sleek
underground restaurant complete with a bar, old arcade
games, a bocce ball court and
food better than my aunts
famous Thanksgiving spread.
Only a short time ago in my
memory, these well-dressed,
sophisticated, beer-drinking
adults were mere children.
These were the kids I gossiped
with in the parking lot after
school while we waited for our
moms SUVs to roll into view.
The same friends who were
only recently struggling to pass
high school Spanish and make
the junior varsity track team
are now studying finance and
accounting, computer science
and marketing. One has even
landed a job with a hotshot
Big Four public accounting
firm in Atlanta.
Here was a glimpse into
the life of the young professional a life I am, as of yet,
very far from since employment is a key first step to that
lifestyle. All these college
seniors destined for professional success, and what the
hell am I doing? Im hiking
and climbing, volunteering
at a garden and writing a column hardly anybody reads.
It took me a few hours
of self-reflective moping to
remember that, surprisingly, I
dont enjoy finance or accounting. I am on a different path,
but its one that I chose. Its a
wandering trail, not a straight
shot to a career, but thats the
way I like it. I might end up
leading Outward Bound trips.
I might end up working for a
solar energy company. I might
end up in Antarctica reporting
on Emperor Penguin research.
Who knows. I also might end
up waiting tables to pay my
rent, but as long as its a temporary gig, thats all right with me.
Theres nothing wrong
with seeking financial stability. In fact, a steady job is a
great thing if youre looking
to fund even more elaborate
adventures on your time off.
As my father is fond of saying,
Youve got your whole life to
work. Youth is a much smaller
window. The years when I can
sleep in a tent for a month
and not mind, the years when
I can carry everything I need
on my back, the years when I
can hitchhike and wander and
hold odd jobs without worrying about driving the children
to soccer practice that time
is slipping away by the hour.
Climbing the ladder to
a killer career is a laudable
ambition. Theres nothing
wrong with becoming a working professional, but doing
that straight out of college
sometimes requires the tunnel vision of focused ambition.
Sacrifices have to be made for
prodigy to blossom, but for me,
the chance to have adventures
is not something Im willing to
give up. I want to find a career
doing something I love, and I
havent found it yet. I want the
search to be worthwhile.
Youth is too short to spend
in a cubicle. Life is too short to
be a young professional.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

EDITORIAL

Reckoning with race

Black students are
speaking. Are the
rest of us listening?

hat is more
damning of
this campus
racial culture?
Is it the bitterness that
has arisen between the
white mainstream and
the communities of color
in the wake of Darren
Wilsons non-indictment?
Or is it that this bitterness somehow marks
an improvement in race
relations insofar as it has
forced us to acknowledge
that such divides persist?
No one on this editorial board is black. Apart
from being a symptom
of the larger problem of
inclusiveness with which
this newspaper struggles
as much as any other
historically white institution, this disqualifies us
from speaking to the pain
many members of the
black community at UNC
are feeling.
But we believe we are
qualified to speak plainly
of the role we ought
to take in making this
space and all others
somewhere all people feel
equally valued and safe.
From the outside, its
difficult to understand
how a single death could
cause so much despair.
This pain has been met

with open ears by some

but with mutters evidence is evidence by
others.
But this is not just
about Michael Brown.
In fact, the more this
is about a single teenager
and his circumstances, the
less it will be about the
racial context in which the
prosecution declined to
indict his killer.
The more this is made
to be about Mike Browns
actions, the more the
burden of perfection
falls upon specific black
men, as imperfect as
anyone else. This fails to
acknowledge the justice
system that mistreats
them to a greater degree
than white men whose
guilt is also subject to reasonable doubt.
Mike Browns death
is a tragedy in its own
right, as is the aftermath,
which has provided further proof that race continues to be a key determinant of how lives and
voices are valued.
It is the basic responsibility of beneficiaries of
racial privilege to actively
listen and include.
The term self-segregation is often used to
explain persistent racial
divides, but placing the
burden of integration
upon the oppressed fails
to confront whatever barriers obstruct that process.

There are many, but black

communities at UNC are
doing everything in their
power to strike them
down and make their
voices heard. It is up to
the rest of campus to meet
them halfway.
We must listen to students when they discuss
as they are right now
the difficulties they
face on account of their
racial identities. We must
ensure all UNC students
feel comfortable to live
and study with each other
rather than in separate,
parallel worlds.
That can take the form
of simply showing up for
events or marches where
these issues are being
discussed. Even if you disagree with what is being
said, understand that, as
President Obama phrased
it, Communities of color
arent just making these
problems up.
But it is also important
to practice more active
forms of solidarity. Speak
up when you witness discrimination in action and
have the tough conversations with your friends
and family. Hold power
accountable where it profits from prejudice.
As hard as UNC tries
to institutionally embrace
diversity, its students have
to support this goal in
their daily lives for it to be
realized.

SPORTS COLUMN

I have no words, Larry

Saturdays loss to N.C. State University was deeply upsetting

s you very well know,

Larry, sometimes
there is value to be
found within a loss lessons to be learned, character to be built and, most
importantly, astute observations for enlightened people
like me to make.
Not this time.

TO THE EDITOR:
Vibrant blue Nike tennis shoes. Green Gatorade
water bottles. Sleek black
backpacks with the UNC
logo. As soon as I see these
three items on a classmate,
I assume that he or she is
an athlete.
For me, these visible markers have always
evoked positive associations. I remember the varsity lacrosse player from
my 8 a.m. English class
who sprinted in just in time
for discussions. She would
apologize profusely because
her workouts ran late, and
then she would drive analyses of Utopia or Candide.
I also marveled at my
organic chemistry teaching assistant who starts for
the varsity football team.
He can explain blitzes,
nucleophilic substitution
reactions, cover two and
countless other things that
are beyond me.
Both of these students
impressed me with their
work ethic. They juggled
practices and classes with
apparent ease. Though their
dedication to their sport
required extreme sacrifice,
they shrugged off the balancing act as entirely normal.
Unfortunately, the
Wainstein report cast a
shadow over UNCs studentathletes. Though the majority of students involved in the
paper classes were not athletes, national media sources
demonized UNCs athletics.
Some asserted that studentathletes produce inferior
work. Some students angrily
accused student-athletes
for not bringing illegitimate
classes to light.
As blame spread across
campus, student-athletes
visible markers started to
disappear. Student Body
President Andrew Powell
brought attention to this
sad trend at the last Board
of Trustees meeting. He
expressed his pride in
our student-athletes, and
he called on the student
body to show our support
by designating tomorrow as Student-Athlete
Appreciation Day.
I join him in saying how
impressed and proud I am
of our student-athletes, both
in and out of the classroom.
I hope you feel the same
way. If so, join me by wearing Carolina Blue on Dec. 2.

Taking rocks for jocks

a debatable crime

Daniel Wilco
Senior Writer
Senior advertising major from
Atlanta.
Email: dwilco@email.unc.edu

TO THE EDITOR:
Let me get this straight:
Whistleblowers (Mary)
Willingham, (Rashad)
McCants and (Michael)
McAdoo are joining with
trial lawyers across the
nation to sue UNC for
guiding students into
diplomas of dubious value.
Possible plaintiffs not only
include womens lacrosse,
soccer and field hockey
athletes, but also Freddy
Fratty and anybody else

who ever graduated from

this venerable institution
who may have taken Rocks
for Jocks, AFAM studies
or independent studies in a
variety of majors including
communications, foreign
languages, geology or philosophy, among others.
The profit motive is probably mankinds most transparent endeavor. For those
of us who gave up promising
careers in brain surgery to
pursue journalism or political science because organic
chemistry conflicted with
Saturday football games, our
ship has come in!
Besides the UNC faculty,
the McClatchy news conglomerate and the envious
ABC crowd, it is not transparent who profits from setting aside or minimizing the
considerable achievements
of student-athletes during
the past 18 years.
Furthermore, none of the
investigations conducted
over the last five years mention the Catch-22 posed by
compliance with federal
affirmative action and Title
IX directives. Perhaps it
is time to turn the microscope on fellow institutions
to learn just how these
demands should have been
met. Alternatively, opening
all independent studies in
the UNC system to all students would not only optimize the value of each diploma but shed a little sunlight
on faculty oversight.

Admissions policies
constitute a scandal
TO THE EDITOR:
A tremendous scandal
has come to light and
after years of wrongdoing the University has a
chance to lead in creating
a more just future. A lawsuit filed Nov. 17 against the
University for discriminating
against European and Asian
students on the basis of race
calls attention to the admission policy which for years
has used identification with a
certain race as a positive trait
in determining admission.
This policy violates the
14th Amendment to the
Constitution, perpetuates
institutional discrimination and elevates the toxic
and flawed concept of
race in North Carolina.
Nevertheless, many have
argued that the history of
discrimination at UNC
as well as the continued
under-representation of
African-American and
Hispanic minorities
makes racially discriminatory policies necessary.
While these are legitimate concerns, I question
the justice (and intelligence) of fighting historical
discrimination by continuing to make the history
of North Carolina in the
21st century one of, well,
discrimination. A better
path is an admissions policy
which takes into account
the socio-economic background and personal story
of each applicant regardless
of racial identification.

The Daily Tar Heel

Q&A with PlayMakers director Joseph Haj

PlayMakers Repertory
Companys productions
of Into the Woods and A
Midsummer Nights Dream,
have been in rotating repertory since Nov. 1. PlayMakers
added an additional performance to Into the Woods by
popular demand.
Staff writer Elizabeth
Baker spoke with Joseph
Haj, PlayMakers producing artistic director, about
both the success of the two
plays, which are scheduled to
stop running Dec. 7, and the
conclusion of the companys
2014 season.

THE DAILY TAR HEEL: How

have the two shows A
Midsummer Nights Dream
and Into the Woods
been going?

COURTESY OF JENNY GRAHAM

Joseph Haj, PlayMakers producing artistic director, has directed
and performed at theaters throughout the United States.

JOSEPH HAJ: The community response has been unbelievable to both of them.
Its been so fun to have
the theater absolutely
packed night after night
after night. Its just been a
real delight. Each of these
productions are so strong.
The community is really
responding to the two of

them being placed in conversation with each other.

DTH: And you added more

shows because of popular

demand?

JH: We added a perfor-

mance on Saturday, Nov. 29,

for Into the Woods because
it was selling so incredibly
well.
I think theyre both really
strong productions but I
really think its a very special A Midsummer Nights
Dream. I think many of us
know the play or think that
we know the play, and its
such a wonderfully, wonderfully unique production that
I hope people take the opportunity to come see it.

DTH: What do you think the

audiences are enjoying the
most in these plays?
JH: My guess is, if you

were to poll the audiences,

the responses would be very
individuated. Both of the
plays, they are about coming of age, theyre about loss
of innocence, theyre about
love, theyre about finding
meaning and finding ones

way through the world and

in the world. The woods
stand as a metaphor for
where we get lost in order to
find ourselves and our way.
Thats so universal, its deeply held by all of us. I think
they respond to the themes
in these two plays.

DTH: Have you faced any

challenges putting these
shows on simultaneously?
JH: Its an enormous challenge. There are two huge
casts only five actors are
in both plays. We had two
rehearsal rooms going at all
times. The musical of course
requires a band as well and a
music director and a choreographer. The logistical challenge of rehearsing both of
these plays was enormous.
DTH: Have you learned any-

thing from this process that

youre going to keep in mind
for future shows?

JH: No, I wouldnt put it

that way. I dont think Ive
learned something that tells
me what to do in terms of
programming future shows. I
look at the larger tapestry of

the season.
So far, weve done
our Summer Youth
Conservatory, which was a
production of Hairspray
with youth from 17 area high
schools over the summer.
And then we brought
Roger Guenveur Smiths
brilliant, searing Rodney
King into our second stage.
It happened only a few
weeks after the events in
Ferguson, Mo., and it seems
such an important play to
be in a room and create a
community dialogue at that
moment.
And then we opened
our main stage season with
Vanya and Sonia and Masha
and Spike in what I thought
was a really beautiful production. And now the rotating rep of these two plays,
and then well move into
Wrestling Jerusalem.
I look at how plays fit into
the larger fabric of the season. Ive been really thrilled
with these two plays for how
they fit into the overall arc
of the season. It makes me
very excited for the shows
we have coming up.

UNC singer competes for art education

Kamaira Philips is
raising money for
nonprofit Arts for Life.
By Gabriella Cirelli
Arts & Culture Editor

UNC senior Kamaira

Philips is lending her voice to
a larger stage.
The soprano vocalist is currently in second place in the
Doing Good Networks 2014
Bands 4 Good challenge, an
online music talent competition which aims to link aspiring musicians with nonprofit
music education programming.
The more than 180 contestants submitted music recordings to Bands 4 Good and
have been campaigning to
win online votes, which raise
money for nonprofits selected
by the Doing Good Network.
Philips is supporting
North Carolina nonprofit
Arts for Life, which provides
educational arts and music
programming to hospitalized children in Asheville,
Winston-Salem, Durham and

Charlotte. The organization

is the only North Carolina
nonprofit featured in this
years challenge. Philips, a
music major and pre-med
student at UNC, said Arts for
Lifes mission resonated with
her, as shes been volunteering at the UNC Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer
Center for about two years.
I felt such a connection
to it because of their mission
to provide children who are
hospitalized in four major
cities in North Carolina with
music and arts programs, she
said. This is already what I
have been doing, so Im super
excited that theres a charity
like this.
Rachel Zink, executive
director of Arts for Life, hopes
that Philips current success
in the competition will help
foster future relationships
between the 13-year-old nonprofit and UNC students.
Weve just found over
the last 13 years that art and
music, learning and creating,
are really effective ways for
kids to get active and engaged
in life, to discover something

This is already what I had been doing, so Im

super excited that theres a charity like this.
Kamaira Philips,
UNC senior music major

new about themselves, to

express themselves, to be creative and to just kind of forget
for a little while what theyre
doing in a hospital and why
theyre there, she said.
Im really excited to get
to know Kamaira and knit
together the relationship
between the folks at UNC
with Kamaira that are really
active in the music community and our program that
is local at Duke Childrens
Hospital to make it even
stronger to make sure that
the kids in our program have
access to amazing, high quality teachers and volunteers
and interns to help deliver
really high quality programs.
Philips had 70,925 votes at
press time, which translates
to $1,400 raised for Arts for
Life. Regardless of who wins,
each of the partnered nonprofits will receive the money

raised during the competition. But if Philips wins, shell

be getting prizes of her own.
In addition to an Apple
Macbook Pro laptop and
other studio gear, the challenge winner will receive
a three-day, two-night
professional development
retreat with musician John
Davenport for a chance to
work with a professional
production team, record in
a studio and work on music
software.
Fred Fletcher, president,
co-founder and CEO of the
Doing Good Network, said
the privately-funded prize
package aims to provide a
springboard and exposure
for aspiring musicians like
Philips, while also lending a
hand to nonprofits.
Weve decided that nonprofits need our help, and
were willing to invest our

capital to do the things that

they cant afford to do on this
scale, he said.
Fletcher also recently
named Philips, who he said
has been out-performing
many of the contestants, a
Bands 4 Good ambassador in
recognition of the votes and
funds shes gained thus far.
Shes gone out, gotten

votes, raised money and done

what we had hoped our contestants would do, he said.
(The ambassadorship)
really sets them apart and
identifies the work that
theyve done and acknowledges the accomplishments
that theyve made.

WATER BILLS

FROM PAGE 1

Hollister brought a petition

before the Carrboro Board of
Aldermen on Oct. 7, with more
than 100 signatures from GSC
residents. The petition called
for accountability for GSC and
proposed a meeting between
GSC and Hollister, said Nate
Broman-Fulks, assistant to the
town manager.
In response, Carrboro
Mayor Lydia Lavelle and
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark
Kleinschmidt wrote a letter
requesting a meeting with
GSC leadership.
In addition, town staff have
made several phone calls to the
company without response.
GSC did not respond to
repeated calls for comment
from The Daily Tar Heel in
the past two weeks.
Lavelle said companies like
GSC are hampering the towns
efforts to provide affordable
housing to residents.
What we are trying to work
so hard to create and maintain
is affordable housing, and
what were running into is
that the management of these
properties arent being as
responsive to residents needs
as they could be, Lavelle said.
GSC resident Emma
Armstrong was shocked to see
her water bill when she moved
to the property in June.
When I saw it, I was just
like, Wow, Armstrong said.
But to them, it was normal.
Broman-Fulks said
Armstrongs bill showed
monthly charges of more than
$200, a high price for a single
woman living alone.
Rather than employing a
local utilities company like
the Orange Water and Sewer
Authority to monitor water
usage, Hollister said GSC
employs a third party company
in Florida, hampering effective
communication between both
parties and creating difficulties for residents trying to find
information about bills.

Neither the Florida company or GSC take responsibility for these outrageous bills
with no basis in reality, and
especially for people who speak
English as a second language,
its extraordinarily difficult to
navigate, Hollister said.
He said such practices led
him to believe the company
has been engaging in price
gouging or discriminatory
business practices at the least.
Hollister, also an affordable
housing advocate, said he
decided to defend GSC residents in particular after GSCs
recent decision to refuse
Section 8 housing vouchers,
which provide rent assistance
to low income tenants.
The impact that a decision
like that can have on a community could be absolutely
devastating, and its made
even more devastating because
it disproportionately affects
single parents with children,
newly immigrated people, refugee communities, women and
people of color, who are much
more heavily affected by decisions like that, he said.
Armstrong said she was
particularly concerned for
UNC students seeking offcampus housing, including
her own brother.
Would I recommend GSC
properties to my brother?
Thats the question I would
ask, she said. And I would
say no, definitely not.
Hollister said GSCs refusal
to respond to appeals from
residents and town leaders
displays disrespect, especially
from a company that says it
values customer service.
If we could hear some
response, it would really help
address these very valid concerns, and it would also show
a responsiveness to these
issues that are really important, Lavelle said.
But so far, weve run into
stone walls. But well keep
trying.

LAWSUIT

FROM PAGE 1

the academic experience cut

to the core of the student-athlete experience, said NCAA
Chief Legal Officer Donald
Remy in a statement.
If the ruling is upheld,
some critics fear schools
would shift universities limited funds and scholarships
from non-revenue sports,
including all womens sports,
to revenue sports.
OBannon, a former UCLA
mens basketball player, first
sued the NCAA in 2009 for
the use of his character in
EA Sports video games, on
behalf of all mens basketball
and football players in NCAA
Division I schools. His lawsuit
argued former student-athletes should be paid when the
NCAA uses their name, image
or likeness for commercial
purposes after graduation.
Michael Hausfeld, one of
the lawyers who represented
OBannon, said the August
ruling unmasked the hypocrisy behind the NCAAs claim
that student-athletes are students first.
I think (administrators)
need to wake up to the fact
theyre complacent in this
hypocrisy, and they should
start being concerned about
their own accountability for
the failures of the system to
educate the athletes and to
provide them the benefits
that they want by reason of
the value that they bring to
their athletic fields, he said.
Hausfeld pointed to the
Wainstein report, which
detailed how UNC studentathletes used fake classes
to boost their grade point
averages and maintain academic eligibility, as evidence
that further undermines the
NCAAs claims.
Barbara Osborne, who
teaches sports law at UNC,
said legal arguments in the
OBannon case focused on
provisions of the Sherman

asked me what will college
athletics will look like in two
years, I could be less certain to
what my answer will be.
If the August ruling in
the case is upheld, athletic
scholarships at schools in the

increase to cover an athletes

is defined as tuition, room
and board, books, food, supplies and transportation.
Covering the full cost of

an additional $1.7 million to
preserve the same number
of scholarships offered, said
Athletic Director Bubba
Cunningham in a presentation to the Faculty Athletics
Committee earlier this year.
Implications of the
OBannon lawsuit are a
national conversation, said
UNC associate athletic director Paul Pogge.
With a ruling like this that
potentially requires resources
to be funneled in the direction of a very small number
of sports, we are committed
to trying to find ways to best
support our many varsity
programs, he said. But this
certainly makes it more challenging for colleges across the
country to do that.
We still have a long way to
go in figuring out what (the
ruling) means in the day-today operation of the athletics
department and how that
applies in specific contexts
such as Title IX, Pogge said.
But at the end of the day the
goal remains the same. We
need to be equitable, and we
need to be constantly focused
on providing opportunities.

make reform tough, but the

Title IX coordinator can
influence campus culture in a
way that makes sexual assault
more likely to be reported and
less likely to happen.
If UNC gets hit with (negative media) attention again, itll
be 20 times bigger, Pino said.
Unless UNC wants to become
the next Columbia mattress
controversy or the next UVa.,
some things need to change.
Maddy Frumkin, cochairwoman of Project Dinah
a student organization that
advocates for survivors of
sexual assault said she has
been impressed with the Title
IX Offices work this year,
in particular with the new
sexual assault policy that was
published in August.
She said she is disappointed Kallem is leaving so soon.
It is disappointing in the
fact that the policy is not
just a written policy, its also
a policy in how its carried
out, Frumkin said. But
I am sure there are other
people who were involved in
making the policy who will
be here to make sure it has
its intended effects.
Hurt said the large number
of administrators at UNC is
an advantage for the handling
of Title IX issues, and she is
confident in Nolans capacity
to fill Kallems shoes.
She also of course has a
great understanding of the
Carolina community because
shes from the Carolina community. I think in her own way
shell be able to occupy that
space and move us forward.
Felicia Washington, vice
chancellor for workforce
strategy, equity and engagement, said in an email
that the University will be
searching for a Title IX
compliance coordinator next
calendar year.

twenty-year-old college students, but hes not sure where

International students Ten Thousand

increasing in US, UNC Villages hosts
Staff Writer

The number of international

students in the U.S. is at an alltime high and with 886,052
international students at U.S.
schools during the 2013-14
academic year, the U.S. now
hosts more foreign students
than any other country.
The total number of international undergraduate and
graduate students increased
by 8 percent in 2014, according to a report released Nov. 17
by the Department of State.
There are 1,825 international students at UNC, which is
a small increase over the total
in 2013. Elizabeth Barnum,
director of UNCs International
Student and Scholar Services,
said the 18 percent cap on
out-of-state first-semester
freshmen limits the number of
international students.
Barnum said while some
people would argue to further
internationalize UNC, the
benefit of a small number of
international students is that
the university can welcome
each student individually.
Barnum said the main
draw for international students is the high rating of
academic programs and the
historic nature of the campus.
U.S. students dont know
the top five chemistry programs in the country, but an
international student does,
Barnum said.
More U.S. students studied
in foreign countries last year as
well the number increased
by 2 percent to 289,408.
The number of UNC students going abroad follows
with the national increase,
with 1,300 students on average
choosing to study abroad each
year. Ashley Memory, assistant
director of admissions, said
in an email that the access to
study abroad programs attracts
prospective American students
to UNC.
We are asked frequently
by prospective students about

A steady increase in international students across the U.S.

Since the 2007-08 school year, international students have consistently been enrolling in higher numbers than the previous year, but
only at the national level. At UNC, there were large increases from 2008-09 to 2010-11, but that growth has faltered since 2012-13.

and they are delighted to learn
about the wealth of 300 programs in 70 countries across
the world, Memory said.
Susan Pittman, a
Department of State spokeswoman, said in an email that
international students primarily come to the U.S. because of
its reputation for innovation
and entrepreneurship.
The N.C. Association
for Institutional Research
released a report in October
tracing the increase of international students in the system
and the increase of foreignborn residents in the state.
Leslie Boney, vice president
for the UNC systems Office

of International, Economic
and Community Engagement,
which helped publish the
report, said studies show that if
international students stay and
graduate, they are likely to stay
in the state.
Since international students
often major in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, Boney said they
boost the states economy.
American students also benefit from the presence of international students, Boney said.
An overwhelming majority of students in our system
cannot go abroad, so if more
international students come
here, native-born students will
have at least some exposure of

being around people from a

different culture before graduating and working with other
people, Boney said.
Boney said the UNC Board
of Governors has, on occasion,
discussed changing the cap on
incoming first-semester freshmen, which would allow for
more international students.
But he said there are only
three schools in the system
that even approach this cap
UNC-CH being one of them.
Its possible in the future
the cap will change, he said.
For now, theres room to
increase without coming close
to the cap.

The holiday shopping

season in Chapel Hill is in
full swing and one local
business is using the influx of
customers to raise money for
a worthy cause.
Ten Thousand Villages,
located in the Eastgate
shopping center, is hosting a
holiday fundraiser Thursday
that will benefit the Friends
of the Robert and Pearl
Seymour Center.
Kathie Reeves, publicity
chairwoman for the Seymour
Center, said she hopes to
raise $400 to $500 through
the fundraiser.
Reeves said she doesnt
know what exactly the money
will be used for.
We havent planned for it,
but I know that the Seymour
Center needs a sound system, Reeves said.
Some of the money could
possibly go to that.
Friends of the Robert
and Pearl Seymour Center,
a volunteer nonprofit organization, is the fundraising
branch of the center.
Ten Thousand Villages is a
nonprofit, fair trade retailer
of artisan crafts located at
1800 E. Franklin St.
From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
on Thursday, 15 percent
of all sales at the store
will go toward the centers
programs and services for
older adults provided by the
Orange County Department
on Aging.
Ten Thousand Villages and
the Seymour Center have previously worked together for
fundraising events.
The two organizations

also hosted a holiday shopping event in 2013, which

was successful, said Keilayn
Skutvik, store manager for
Ten Thousand Villages.
Skutvik said the store
often hosts fundraising
events for nonprofits during
the holiday season.
Its rewarding to work
with people who work
directly with a population
that needs help in the area,
Skutvik said.
The holiday shopping
event is just one of many programs the Seymour Center
organizes to support programs for older adults.
One such event was the
Goat Parade, a public art display and tour that benefited
the center and the Chatham
County Council on Aging.
The 10 sculptures were
painted by local artists and
then displayed across the
Triangle. The goats were auctioned on Nov. 14.
Skutvik said Ten Thousand
Villages typically brings in
$300 to $400 for the organizations they partner with during fundraising events.
The store sells a variety of
handmade home decor, art,
jewelry and accessories.
Reeves said the Seymour
Centers partnership with
Ten Thousand Villages was a
result of outreach efforts done
for another event.
I was selling advertising
for one of our events and they
said we dont advertise as
such, Reeves said.
But we do offer special
events where you can participate in them and get a percentage of the sales going to
your nonprofit.
Skutvik said Ten
Thousand Villages hosts
similar events throughout
the holiday season with different groups.

Staff Writer

Two Triangle professionals will be speaking at

the GreenNC 2014 symposium in Raleigh Thursday,
presenting their work on
Northside Elementary.
Molly Stoffregen,
Northsides literacy coach,
and Steve Nally, an architect
at Moseley Architects have
worked together closely
to develop the school as a
teaching tool model.
The school was LEED
Platinum-certified in July the
only school in North Carolina
to achieve the highest level of
certification given by the U.S.
Green Building Council
meaning it showed outstanding Leadership in Energy &
Environmental Design.
Stoffregen and Nally have
developed a teaching plan
that combines the buildings
environmentally friendly and
sustainable features and the
students science curriculum.
Its more than just a building, Nally said. It can be
used like a textbook or anything else.
Stroffregen said she is very
excited about the opportunity
to speak at the symposium.
A lot of people at the event
will be builders and architects and we can share how
they can take their plans and
design to the next level.
At first, using the building
to educate the students and
staff mainly entailed putting
up signs around the building that explained how the
sustainable features worked,
Stroffregen said.
But when integrating the
building into the students
science curriculum became
a part of the project, Nally
said he and Stroffregen began
working to combine Northside
teachers lesson plans with the
buildings features.
Every grade level has
a different focus based on
their science curriculum and
has a different presentation
and tour of the building,
Stroffregen said.

to the boiler room to learn

about heat transfer, he said.
In fourth grade, it was tied to
water and erosion.
Sarah Montgomery, the
education and advocacy
manager for the N.C. chapter
of the U.S. Green Building
Council, said this years theme
for the symposium is celebrating 20 years of healthy development in North Carolina.
Northside is a LEED
platinum gorgeous, gorgeous,
gorgeous elementary school,
she said. Green schools are
a big focus for us at the N.C.
chapter.
The state is a leader in the
nation for LEED activity with
23 LEED certified schools
and 29 more schools that are
expected to become LEED
certified, Montgomery said.
(Northside is) definitely a
school we want to continue to
showcase and use as a practice example of how green
schools educate children
every day, Montgomery said.

The symposium, which

will take place in the Raleigh
Convention Center and welcome more than 100 attendees,
is an annual educational conference hosted by the Triangle
branch of the U.S. Green
Building Council N.C. chapter.
Its really kind of a gathering place and symposium for
the areas leading sustainability practitioners both from
private and public sector.
Neither Nally nor
Stroffregen has ever spoken at
the symposium before.
Nally said the school as
a teaching tool model was
developed from a series of
meetings between himself
and Stoggregen for many
months.
Not a lot of schools do
that but I think many schools
could, he said. Sustainability
and using the building as
another tool in the teachers
arsenal is very powerful.

UNC is seeded seventh in the NCAA Tournament

By Ben Coley
Staff Writer

This season, the No. 7 North

Carolina volleyball team has
done its best to rewrite the
record books.
The list of accomplishments
is impressive: the programs
highest ranking in the coachs
poll and RPI, and just a few
weeks back, defeating a top-3
opponent for the first time.
But in the regular-season
finale against Wake Forest on
Friday, the Tar Heels were looking for another notch on their
belt an ACC championship.
And as the last ball hit the
ground in the third set, the celebration began.
The trophy was carried onto
the court, Ring Pops were
passed out and players rejoiced.
Another banner would be raised
in Carmichael Arena.
With UNCs (26-2, 17-1 ACC)

victory over Wake Forest (1616, 6-12 ACC), the Tar Heels
clinched their 12th ACC title in
school history.
Before sweeping the Demon
Deacons, UNC had secured a
share of the conference championship by defeating No. 21
Duke (22-7, 14-4 ACC) in five
sets on Wednesday.
The Tar Heels finished the
regular season by winning 17
straight conference matches
after losing their first ACC game
against Florida State on Sept.
26. The ACC title is UNCs first
since 2008.
The fact that you get to
do this at home and with a
high level of expectation and
pressure with a big match on
Wednesday and (Friday) as
well, is special, Coach Joe
Sagula said. Im just so proud
of everybody.
The Blue Devils and Demon
Deacons were determined to

make UNC work for the ACC

crown. Both matches witnessed a combined 55 ties and
22 lead changes. But the Tar
Heels responded by notching
a 0.271 and 0.378 hitting percentage versus Duke and Wake
Forest, respectively.
In the match against Duke,
senior libero Ece Taner had a
career-high 30 digs and then
added eight more versus the
Demon Deacons on Friday.
Taner said shes wanted a title
for four years. And when her
wish finally came true, the feeling was surreal.
It feels so amazing. I cant
describe how proud I am to
make an impact on this program and leave something for
other teammates, Taner said.
And when I come back and
watch them compete, I get to
see the banner and say, Wow,
I did something here. Thats
everything you could ask for.

WRESTLING: NORTH CAROLINA 22, APPALACHIAN STATE 21

Wrestling takes it by
a single point Sunday
Christian Barbers overtime
pin over a top-10 wrestler
set the stage for a victory.
By David Adler
Staff Writer

Christian Barber knew he could turn

things around.
The North Carolina wrestling team
was trailing Appalachian State, but during overtime of his 149-pound match,
No. 19 Barber pinned the Mountaineers
No. 8 Dylan Cottrell to give the Tar
Heels the momentum and help lead
them to a 22-21 victory in Boone, N.C.
Going into the match, we were
really struggling, said Barber, a redshirt junior. I needed to get us headed
in the right direction, and I knew with
the guys behind me that my win could
become a turning point in the dual.
His victory did just that, with UNCs
heavyweight wrestlers picking up
where Barber left off.
It wasnt looking good early when
our lightweight guys had a tough time
out there, said senior Alex Utley.
Christian being able to win in overtime in an upset really energized us and
fired up the heavyweight guys that were
getting ready to wrestle.
After the match, Coach C.D. Mock
called Barber the MVP of the night.
Cottrell was a very tough kid, he
said. But Barber was more aggressive
and was the better wrestler: a huge win
for Christian.
We lost so many matches by a point
last year, so its good to get one.

Utley agreed.
After losing a tight dual earlier this
year to Stanford, it was good to be on the
other side of one of those, Utley said.
As excited as Barber was to pick up
the win from an individual standpoint,
he knew that his match and the six
points he picked up with it could
help the team get back on track.
The Tar Heels did exactly that, with
Ethan Ramos, Joey Ward and Utley
all picking up critical bonus points
after Barbers win.
It was a good win, and we were
able to score a lot of bonus points that
we ended up needing, said Utley, who
was victorious in his 184-pound bout.
We let up some early pins, but we did
a great job fighting back and getting
the win.
Despite trailing at intermission, the
UNC wrestling team rallied its way past
the Mountaineers to earn its first dual
victory of the season.
It was definitely a good feeling to
beat someone thats a tough opponent,
Barber said. I dont think it was my
best performance, but I was pretty
psyched to come out on top and it was
satisfying to win after grinding it out in
an eight-minute match.
For Utley, hes optimistic that the
experience of competing in tight situations will help his team in the future.
A lot of duals come down to just
a few points, Utley said. So it was a
great experience for our guys to learn
how to win a close dual, so there are a
lot of positives that we can take away
from this.

Now, the Tar Heels have

their eyes set on the NCAA
Tournament.
UNC is seeded seventh
nationally and will be playing
Hampton to open the tournament Thursday. The Tar Heels
will be hosting first and second
round matches for the first time
since 2005.
But to redshirt senior opposite hitter Chaniel Nelson, the
ordering of the bracket doesnt
concern her.
She said the team is simply
prepared to win and is looking
to make history.
I dont know anything
about brackets, to be honest
thats more for coach, Nelson
said.
Right now were just looking
to play some good volleyball and
make it as far as this program
has ever gone.

In 2013, all Rob Lovejoy could do was watch.

Sidelined by a torn groin muscle, the now redshirt senior had to look on in disbelief as the North
Carolina mens soccer team gave up two goals in the
final 15 minutes of its match against Clemson, losing 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament.
But when Lovejoy got another chance on a bigger
stage, the Greensboro, N.C. native left it all on the
field, tallying his first multi-goal game of the season
in a 2-1 win against those very same Tigers in the
third round of the NCAA Mens College Cup.
The forwards impact showed early on in
Sundays match against Clemson, when, in the
13th minute, a corner kick gave UNC its first
scoring opportunity of the game. As sophomore
Omar Holness readied himself in the right corner,
Lovejoy looked for a place to make his run.
As the ball flew toward the box, Lovejoy started his march toward near-post. And moments
later, the redshirt senior rose above a sea of Tiger
defenders to meet the ball, and headed it into the
back of the net to give the Tar Heels a 1-0 lead.
I could just judge the height of the ball right
when it came off his foot, said Lovejoy in a postgame press conference. And I figured out where I
needed to be, and it ended up getting up above the
near-post zone.
But Clemson fired back a little over 10 minutes
later after UNC defender Boyd Okwuonu fouled a
Tiger forward in the box after giving up the ball.
A penalty kick was awarded to Clemson, and
junior defender Kyle Fisher promptly stepped up
and hammered a shot past goalkeeper Brendan
Moore to knot the game at one.
But the senior keeper proved to be a proverbial
brick wall for the remainder of the first half, stifling the Clemson attack at every turn, including
a left-footed shot from Diego Campos in the 40th
minute, which Moore brushed away from goal.
We were proud of his performance, but thats
his job, said Coach Carlos Somoano. Thats why
hes the starting goalkeeper at UNC.
With Moore who had seven saves making things difficult for Clemson, the spotlight yet
again shined on Lovejoy. Perhaps at no bigger
moment than in the 71st minute, when he split two
Clemson defenders and curled a shot around the
Tiger keeper and into the bottom right corner of
the net to grab the lead again this time for good.
After the game, Somoano said little but did commend Moore and Lovejoy for their performances.
Gesturing at both players, who stood on either
side of him, he said what many people standing
in the room were thinking: The difference in the
game was to my right and left.

WOMENS BASKETBALL: NORTH CAROLINA 70, STANFORD 54

UNC defeats Stanford in Elite 8 rematch

With Sylvia Hatchell on

the sidelines, the Tar
Heels found revenge.
By C Jackson Cowart
Staff Writer

Revenge is a dish best served

cold. Even on the warm shores of
Hawaii.
Following a heartbreaking
defeat at the hands of the Stanford
Cardinal in the 2014 NCAA
Tournament, the No. 11 North
Carolina womens basketball team
channeled cold resentment into
a fiery performance en route to
a 70-54 win over No. 5 Stanford
in the first game of the Rainbow
Wahine Shootout Friday.
They felt like they probably
should have won that game last
year, said Coach Sylvia Hatchell,
whose leukemia kept her away
from UNCs previous meeting with
the Cardinal. They talked about
this game for a long time.
The sting of last seasons defeat
and not making it to the Final
Four where Hatchell had
promised to coach them had they
advanced provided plenty of
motivation for the rematch.
We came in with the mindset
of, This is the rematch; this is the
much anticipated game from last
year; this is the team that ended
our season, said senior Latifah
Coleman, who led the team with
a career-high 19 points. We just
used that as fuel to the fire.
Coleman exemplified that fire,
doing everything from crashing
the boards to shutting down her

Senior guard Latifah Coleman led the Tar Heels past Stanford Friday with
a career-high 19 points. She also had six assists against the Cardinal.

matchup, even mopping up the

slippery floor between timeouts.
And after mustering only 24
points in the first half, UNC rallied
in the second half behind its leader.
Coach Hatchell came in at
halftime and was like, Your man
is playing way off of you, so youre
going to have to shoot the ball,
said Coleman, who hit all three of
her second-half 3-point attempts.
I just went out at halftime with
(confidence) and kept shooting the
ball, and things started falling.
The confidence spread, as UNC
got hot from beyond the arc, shooting a season high 41.4 percent.
I think were one of the best
3-point shooting teams in the
country, said freshman Jamie
Cherry, who added two 3-pointers of her own. We keep shooting
them, and theyre going to fall.
Despite efforts to repeat last

seasons halftime rally, Stanfords

shots refused to fall. The backcourt
duo of Amber Orrange and Lili
Thompson never heated up, as
Stanford shot just over 30 percent.
The Cardinals shot opportunities were limited at best, as UNC
dominated the glass from the start.
In the locker room on the
boards really, really big I had
Rebounding, said Hatchell, whose
team bested Stanford in rebounds
by 15. I told them that was going
to be the key to the game.
Hatchell had one final message
in the locker room for her team,
which also beat Prairie View A&M
and Hawaii over the weekend.
You beat Stanford you beat
them pretty good and they beat
UConn, she said. You guys can
play with anybody in the country.
