Coach slams handling

of sexual assault cases

Lawmakers return to Raleigh for

the 2015 long session today.
By Corey Risinger
Staff Writer

The N.C. General Assembly will return to

Raleigh for the 2015 legislative session today,
leaving policy analysts to speculate about the
issues including K-12 education, higher education, the state budget and Medicaid that could
predominate on lawmakers agenda.
Wednesday will serve as an organizational day
for legislators, who will then do some preliminary
work on the two-year state budget and officially
reconvene in two weeks.
Rep. Julia Howard, R-Davie, senior chairwoman of the House of Representatives Finance
Committee, said lawmakers initial work will
revolve around financial discussions and reviews
of a tax reform plan passed in 2013.
While specific details of UNC-system funding
are uncertain, one 2014 budget provision later
removed that could have closed Elizabeth City
State University piqued interest statewide. The
historically black university, a member of the
UNC system, experienced a 26 percent decline in
student enrollment from 2010 to 2013.
Jenna Robinson, director of outreach for the
right-leaning John William Pope Center for Higher
Education Policy, said she expects the future of
ECSU to be in a holding pattern, as legislators wait
to see how Chancellor Stacey Franklin Jones, hired
in the fall, works to revamp the school.
Robinson said she doesnt think universities will
see significant funding changes, though she believes
in-state tuition for veterans will be discussed.
The UNC system has already laid out its
request a 1.9 percent increase over last year
so thats not a major change, Robinson said. They
may or may not get that full amount because like I
said, theres possibility to be a revenue shortfall.
Gerry Cohen, former general counsel to the
General Assembly who now works in government
relations at the Raleigh office of Nelson Mullins
law firm, added that terms will expire for several
members of the UNC-system Board of Governors,
which is elected by the legislature.
Thatll be important to watch, Cohen said.
But Rob Schofield, director of research and policy development for left-leaning N.C. Policy Watch,
said he thinks the UNC system will continue to be
in a precarious situation.
I think that the university system remains in
the cross hairs at the legislature, Schofield said.
I dont think they have a lot of friends, and its
hard for me to imagine big raises for faculty.
Schofield said pay raises for K-12 teachers are
more likely, particularly after lawmakers gave
only small raises to veteran teachers in 2014.
Rodney Ellis, president of the N.C. Association
of Educators, said the organization is appreciative
that previous pay raises significantly increased
starting salaries for teachers, but hopes veteran
teachers will also receive due recognition.
Beginning teachers dont become experienced
teachers without the support of experienced
teachers, he said.
Ellis also said the N.C. Association of Educators
is advocating this year for the return of the N.C.
Teacher Cadet Program and N.C. Teaching Fellows
both of which aimed to bring high school and
college students into the teaching workforce.
Schofield said Republican lawmakers might push
for further tax cuts and perhaps the elimination of
the corporate income tax. In 2014, North Carolina
failed to bring the Toyota headquarters to the state,
losing to Texas, which has no corporate income tax.
To my way of thinking, (this) would be a terrible decision, he said. (Lawmakers are) going to
be confronted already with shortfalls because of
the taxes theyve enacted.
Howard said the revenue picture will become
clearer after the first few weeks.
(The budget has) got to be the first thing, and
then theres all sorts of pieces for the budget you
have to look at Medicaid is a biggie, she said.
Gov. Pat McCrory and N.C. Department of
Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos
have suggested in recent months that they would be
open to the possibility of Medicaid expansion.
Howard said budget issues will significantly
affect the likelihood of the expansion.
(We have) to get a grip on how we need to
manage (Medicaid). We just dont have the
money to do it, she said.
Schofield said he thinks Medicaid is the most
important issue of the session and could have lasting implications on McCrorys legacy.
Its a low risk, high-reward decision or choice,
and Ill be personally very disappointed if we
dont make some progress on that.

Wrestling coach C.D. Mock, whose son was accused of sexual assault, speaks against consent policies he said put men in danger of accusation.

C.D. Mock maintains his son was falsely accused of rape

By Jeremy Vernon
Staff Writer

While colleges across the country face

scrutiny for their handling of sexual assault
cases, UNC wrestling Coach C.D. Mock has
caused a stir after posting his opinions about
his sons ongoing sexual assault investigation.
Corey Mock, who wrestled for UNC before
he transferred to the University of Tennessee
at Chattanooga ahead of the 2013-14 season, was found guilty by UT-Chattanoogas
judicial system for sexual assault and was
expelled from the university on Aug. 25, one
week after he was originally found innocent.
While at UNC, Corey Mock got into legal

trouble. In 2012, he was arrested and charged

with simple affray and resisting arrest.
His family filed an appeal, which allowed
him to stay in school during the process. On
Dec. 2, UT-Chattanoogas chancellor upheld
the decision to expel Corey Mock.
The family has filed another appeal, and
Corey will remain in school until an appeal
decision, said Chuck Cantrell, associate vice
chancellor at UT-Chattanooga.
On Dec. 18, C.D. Mock followed the advice
of the National Coalition for Men and made a
blog, coreymock.net, on which he has shared
his perspective of the investigation.
The purpose of the blog was simply
because I want people to know the other side

of this story, he said in an interview. Theres

absolutely no doubt in my mind that my son
is not guilty of sexual assault or rape.
C.D. Mock has posted updates on the
investigation along with articles involving similar cases around the country and
his opinions on the current consent policy,
which have outraged some readers.
Mud has been slung. I have been called
every name in the book. Theyre copying the
chancellor on things that Ive written, and
theyve called for me to be fired, he said.
"My son is being labeled a rapist. Hes
being painted as a rapist by the other side.

WXYC, library will stay funded

Student Congress
retracted the fundfreezing bills Tuesday.
By Acy Jackson
Staff Writer

Trouble was on the horizon

for two UNC student organizations, but thanks to an 11thhour clarification, the groups
are now in the clear.
At Tuesday nights Student
Congress Oversight and
Advocacy Committee meeting, committee chairman
David Joyner proposed bills to
freeze the funding for WXYC,
UNCs student-run radio station, and the Student Library
Advisory Board.
After working with congressional appointees to
WXYC and the Student
Library Advisory Board during fall 2014, Joyner decided
to pursue steps to freeze
funding for both groups
because of the apparent lack
of attendance at their respective organization meetings.
But both organizations were
found to be in compliance.
Because of this, the bills were
voted unfavorably and will be
retracted by Joyner.
We fortunately found that
there was no non-compliance
and that our members and
appointees are participating

actively. Its important that we

do have these oversights, and
we do have people come speak
on the matter, Joyner said.
The apparent issues were
due to miscommunication
from appointees, committee
members and organizations,
and have been resolved,
Joyner said.
Senior Grant Bisher,
WXYCs music director,
attended Tuesdays meeting
and brought copies of minutes and emails proving that
WXYC was in compliance.

Bisher said. Were always

encouraging them to come.

The Student Library
Advisory Board decides how
to use the library budget and
normally pays for things like
new technology or renovated
study spaces.
I dont know how (the
Undergraduate Library)
would operate on a 24/5
manner, said Suchi Mohanty,
head of the Undergraduate
Library, on the prospect of
having her funds frozen.
Both organizations rely
on the funding and feel that
having their funds frozen
would negatively impact the
campus community.

The newly Republican-controlled

U.S. Senate voted Monday to approve
the Keystone XL Pipeline, but
President Barack Obama is expected
to veto the legislation once it comes to
his desk which could be an increasing trend in his final two years.
The Senate passed the pipeline on
Monday with a 63-32 vote, four votes
away from the two-thirds majority
needed to override presidential vetoes.
The House of Representatives
passed the legislation easily Friday.
The fact is this piece of legislation is not altogether different than
legislation that was introduced in
the last Congress, said Josh Earnest,
White House press secretary, in a
press conference earlier this month.
And I can confirm for you that
if this bill passes this Congress, the
President wouldnt sign it either.

From staff and wire reports

eve all been there sitting on a tarmac in a plane that was

supposed to take off an hour ago. Put in exactly that harrowing position, two airline passengers in China decided
to take matters into their own restless hands. The passengers decided it would be a marvelous idea to open the emergency exits on
the plane in protest of their delayed flight. They definitely got the attention
of flight officials, who canceled takeoff and returned the plane to the gate.
Twenty-five people were then questioned, and the two passengers who originally opened the emergency exits were thrown in jail. A word to the wise:
When it comes to delayed flights, just grin and bear it. There is, in fact, a reason why those doors are reserved for emergencies.

meeting

UNC, Duke students collaborate on sweaty-palm solution

By Noelle Wells
Staff Writer

The embarrassing problem of sweaty hands

might not be an issue for long thanks to the work
of a team of UNC and Duke students.
The small group has been working on Clutch
Lotion to eliminate sweaty palms.
The lotion was the brainchild of sophomore
David Spratte. He thought of the idea when he
was in high school and eventually decided to do
something about it.
A turning point was college interviews,
Spratte said. It was a confidence killer when you
had to go in there and youre trying to drastically
wipe your hands against your pants to avoid the
general awkwardness that was about to ensue.
Spratte said once he went to college, the idea
took a back seat, but it was revitalized over the
summer when he began discussing it with Duke

sophomore Kasper Kubica, who had been working with various startups since high school.
The people Id been working with on startups
up to that point didnt really have a passion for
the product, Kubica said. The thing that was
different about David was that David really cared
about solving the problem of sweaty hands.
Kubica said the product would be nothing
without UNC sophomore Chris Jenks the
chemist who actually makes the product. Jenks
said all the materials used to make the lotion
were available commercially.
Prior to Clutch Lotion, the team wasnt very
close, but the project spurred their friendship.
Kubica said he thought it was important that
they were friends because it allowed them to be
completely honest with one another without fear
of the other taking offense.
When a friend says to you, Thats a freaking stupid idea, youre like Well, its probably a

bad idea.
Jenks and Kubica agreed that trust was an
important part of their business relationship.
I probably havent met anybody in my life
who I trust down to the core as much as David
outside my family, Kubica said.
Though it is not available yet, Jenks said the
lotion is close to being finished.
Id guess were about 90 to 95 percent done,
Jenks said.
The team has not yet promoted the lotion
because they are waiting for perfection.
When were ready to go, we can go full throttle, Jenks said.
They have plans for the future but are focusing
on the small scale for the time being.
We havent cured cancer were just stopping sweaty hands, he said.

The Faculty Athletics

Committee is becoming increasingly involved in giving input to
ACC and NCAA conference proposals and discussed upcoming
proposals for the NCAA convention later this week.
Im chuckling because I
cannot wait for next years legislation, which will allow the
student to have an agent to
negotiate their contract, said
Director of Athletics Bubba
Cunningham.
Members also held a discussion on NCAA proposals that will
be voted on during the convention to assist Faculty Athletics
Representative Lissa Broome and
Cunningham, who will be attending the NCAA convention.
The centerpiece of these
autonomy proposals which we
will discuss on Saturday and vote
on on Saturday afternoon is
the cost of attendance figure,
Broome said, discussing studentathlete scholarship costs.
The committee overall did not
favor the proposals concerning
potential financial aid policies for
student-athletes and felt the process was rushed.
The committee discussed its
feelings toward loss of value
insurance and wondered how the
student-athletes would be able to
convince loan services they were
worth the investment.
The insurance would protect
athletes from losing their financial aid if an injury ended their
athletic careers.

Accrediting response

Developers weary of aordable housing

Affordable housing not
attractive to investors
due to little returns.
By Aren Besson
Staff Writer

Despite the towns best efforts,

hopeful developers still face challenges when trying to build and manage
affordable housing complexes.
The town of Chapel Hill hosted
the first of four workshops on affordable housing at Town Hall Tuesday
night. The workshop featured four
speakers who detailed the process
and challenges of building affordable housing in the town.
We put these sessions together
to talk about affordable housing in
a different way, said Loryn Clark,
executive director of housing and
community for Chapel Hill.
Mark Moshier, a principal at
Legacy Real Property Group, said
that there is a difference between
how a developer can approach affordable housing projects versus housing
projects that are sold at market value.
Before an investor puts money
into a project, they must weigh
the risks and associated costs with
the expected cash flow that will
emerge when the project is finished,
said David Hartzell, a professor of
finance at UNC.
For property developments, the
expected cash flow comes from rent
paid by tenants.
The worth of a project is based

on how much income a project can

make, Moshier said. The higher the
income on the project, the higher
the value of the project.
For housing projects sold at
market value, developers can negotiate the price of rent to make sure
that the cash flow from tenants
will cover the cost of construction,
maintenance and risk.
As soon as we have affordable
housing, we have stifled our net
operating income, Moshier said.
To account for that reduced cash
flow from the tenant, an affordable housing project must be less
expensive to make. Projects that
are required to have a high amount
of affordable housing units are not
attractive to investors because there
is very little profit, he said.
A 100 percent affordable housing
project is really hard to make any
kind of return to the equity source
without having incentives to reduce
the project costs, Moshier said.
By North Carolina law, Chapel
Hill has the power to regulate certain
aspects of a development, like the
size and location of buildings. But
the town cannot compel a developer
to include affordable housing unless
it subsidizes part of the project, said
Tyler Mulligan, associate professor of
public law and government at UNC.
He said this kind of subsidy is
most effective when there is high
population growth, a high demand
for housing and ample land on
which to develop.
Dwight Bassett, the economic
development officer for Chapel Hill,

DTH/ALEX HAMEL
Economic development officer Dwight Bassett provides demographic
information of Chapel Hill at an affordable housing workshop at Town Hall.

said the town is limited by its lack

of available land and limited population growth for the 15 to 45 age
group during the past 20 years.
Mulligan said an affordable housing subsidy cannot completely solve
housing issues.
Even when you have a set-aside
program, it is unlikely that that
program will solve the affordable
housing needs of the community,
Mulligan said.
If the goal is to provide more
inclusionary zoning, affordable
housing is the start, but it is not the
end of the conversation.

After the University responded to its accrediting agencys

letter questioning its academic
standards this week, Chancellor
Carol Folt thanked the committee at its Tuesday meeting for its
work upholding UNCs integrity
since the scandal broke.
Folt thanked committee
members for their dedication to
the process even before the
Wainstein findings.
Folt said it was helpful to
already have information when
the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools Commission
on Colleges UNCs accrediting
body requested it.
A letter from the association
on Nov. 13 questioned whether
UNC had committed as many
as 18 policy violations. The
University responded Monday
with a 223-page letter defending areas such as control of college athletics and faculty role
in governance.
Folt said the response will
be available online to the public Tuesday but it is currently
being held to give the accrediting agency time to receive and
digest it.
I cant tell you how much
work, not just went into the
preparation of the SACS report,
but as the Chancellor, I realized
what was put into getting the
University to the place it is with
that SACS report, Folt said.
It is phenomenal, and I think
if anyone takes the time to read
the report, you would have to be
extremely taken with the amount
of work that went into it.

Chicago attorney to help with UNCs numerous legal problems

COMPILED BY: BRADLEY SAACKS

UNC retained the New York Citybased law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom for help with the
Universitys numerous pressing legal
challenges.
Rick White, associate vice chancellor
for communications and public affairs,
said partners of the firm will be paid
$990 an hour, while associates of the
firm will make between $450 and $975.
Patrick Fitzgerald is the main lawyer
representing the University.
UNC is facing lawsuits for its mishandling of sexual assaults, admission
practices, workplace environment and
the education it provides for athletes.
The following is a sampling of the most
high-profile cases from this year.

Former player sues UNC

Admissions questioned

Willingham to mediation Student sues for assault

In November, Michael McAdoo,

a former football player, sued the
University for failing to give him a
quality education.
McAdoo was expelled from
UNC after the NCAA took away
his eligibility to play.
The class-action lawsuit, which
says the University breached
its contract with McAdoo and
engaged in deceptive trade practices, was filed following the release
of Kenneth Wainsteins $3.1 million investigation into academic
fraud among student athletes.
The lawsuit asks that all football
players be provided with four-year
scholarships in the future.

The use of race as a factor

in UNCs admissions practices is in spotlight after the legal
defense foundation Project on
Fair Representation filed a suit
against the University on behalf of
Students for Fair Admission, Inc.
The suit lists UNC and Harvard
University as defendants; it claims
applicants 14th Amendment
rights were violated.
The University stands by its
current undergraduate admissions
policy and process, White said in a
statement in November, mentioning it was determined in 2012 that
UNCs use of race in was consistent with federal law.

Former tutor Mary Willingham

and UNC are headed to mediation
to settle Willinghams workplace
harassment lawsuit.
Willingham is seeking her position back after resigning in April.
Her complaint said her demotion, comments made about her
character and an office relocation
are evidence of a hostile work
environment.
The facts will demonstrate
that Ms. Willingham was treated
fairly and appropriately while she
was employed at Carolina, said
Joel Curran, the vice chancellor
for communications and public
affairs, in a statement in July.

In August, junior Jillian Murray

sued the University for mishandling her sexual assault case.
In her lawsuit, Murray said her
case was mishandled by Associate
Dean of Students Dean Blackburn,
who did not respond to Murrays
query on sexual assault for 20
days. He told Murray her email
simply got lost in (his) inbox.
The University filed to dismiss
the case in September. Murrays
attorney did not respond to
requests for comment Tuesday.
The University is under federal
investigation for claims that it
is unable to properly adjudicate
sexual assault cases.

I want people to know that

there is another side to this
story.
C.D. Mock has criticized
UT-Chattanoogas role in the
investigation, arguing that the
university violated his sons
constitutional rights.
Why is he being deemed
guilty before he is proven
guilty. Its not constitutional,
but thats the way it works,
he said.
Rick White, UNCs associate
vice chancellor for communications and public affairs, said
in a statement that the views
expressed by C.D. Mock were
not in line with the Universitys.
We respect the rights of
all of our faculty, staff or students in exercising their First
Amendment rights. However,
their personal opinions do not
reflect a University position,
and its important that they are
not mistaken for one, he said.
Mr. Mock is expressing
his views as an individual and

Despite the backlash toward
his views, C.D. Mock said he

This has taken on a new
meaning; its not just about
my son anymore. The blog

frankly, there isnt a lot of other

VETO POWER

FROM PAGE 1

Steven Greene, a political

science professor at N.C. State
University, said Obama will
likely use his veto power significantly more in the last two
years of his presidency with
both houses of Congress under
Republican control. Obama
has made only two vetoes since
he took office in 2008.
Democratic filibusters
in the Senate will probably
still bottle up legislation that
Obama would have otherwise
vetoed, but you can pretty
much guarantee there will
be far more vetoes and veto
confrontations in Obamas
remaining two years, Greene
said in an email.
Obama said in a statement
that although the pipeline
would create a few thousand
temporary jobs, it would have
a negligible impact on gas
prices and there are better
options for job creation, such
as infrastructure projects.
If we were rebuilding our
roads and bridges around
the country, something that
Congress could authorize, we
could probably create hundreds of thousands of jobs or

for a lot of people, said

sophomore Viviane Feldman,
a WXYC disc jockey. Its
where they made their closest friends, and felt that they
could be a leader or manager.
Fortunately, both organizations do not have to face those
obstacles and can continue
running as they did previously.
Im very positive we have
the community behind us,
Bisher said.
university@dailytarheel.com
a million jobs, Obama said.
Obama also stressed the
need to ensure the pipeline
doesnt contribute to climate
change, which is currently
being evaluated by experts.
Geoffrey Skelley, associate editor of Sabatos Crystal
Ball, said in an email that
environmentalists, who form
an important part of the
Democratic Party and exert
influence on Obama, fear
the pipeline will increase
American dependence on fossil fuels and pose a threat to
water supplies and other natural resources along its route.
Obamas argument for
the veto is not very strong,
Greene added.
The U.S. is already crisscrossed with pipelines, so one
more has very little potential
impact, Greene said.
House Speaker John
Boehner disagreed with
Obama in a statement, saying he is putting his political
interests ahead of the priorities of the American people.
There is no excuse scientific or otherwise for the
President to continue blocking
the pipeline, Boehner said.

The Daily Tar Heel

Paige, UNC prepare

for Wolfpack madness
By Grace Raynor
Sports Editor

Marcus Paige turned to his

friend at Buffalo Wild Wings,
right as N.C. States Trevor
Lacey drained a step-back 3.
OK, the North Carolina
point guard said. Its over.
Paige was referring to the
N.C. State-Duke matchup
Sunday afternoon, a contest
that ended with the Wolfpack
snapping Dukes undefeated
streak and storming the court
after a double-digit victory.
N.C. State had 10 blocks, shot
55 percent from the field, and
hit 10 of 16 3-pointers.
That was about as impressive a show as youve seen in
a quite a while, Coach Roy
Williams said.
Now its No. 15 UNCs turn
to head to PNC Arena. And
if theres one thing Paige is
certain of, its the atmosphere
that awaits the Tar Heels.
Its going to be rowdy over
there, Paige said. Ive talked
to (the young guys) a bit about
it this week theres not too
much well experience this year
thatll be like at N.C. State.
Both teams are coming
off the biggest wins of their
seasons: UNCs one-point
nail-biter over Louisville
and N.C. States 12-point triumph over Duke.
By Tuesday afternoon,
Williams hadnt talked to his
freshmen about PNC Arena,
but he too knows whats ahead.
Well tell them its a great

road game, great opportunity

and weve got to pretend like
theyre yelling for us, Williams
said. Freshmen, you can tell
them about anything, so well
lie to them or something.
The last time these teams
met featured an overtime
showdown between Paige and
reigning ACC Player of the Year
T.J. Warren. With just a fraction of a second left in the extra
period, Paige won it for UNC.
That night, he scored a careerhigh 35 points 31 after halftime while his counterpart,
Warren, scored 36.
But this year is different.
Warren is in the NBA, and the
new Wolfpack go-to is redshirt
junior Lacey. The 6-foot-3
guard averages 16.9 points
per game and is shooting 50
percent. Paige is shooting 36.6
percent from the field this season, down from 44 in 2013-14.

Technically, theres nothing wrong with his shot. It

just hasnt gone in as much,
Williams said. (Hes) probably
getting more attention from
the defense, but I think he got
quite a bit attention from the
defense last year, as well.
Paige also is fighting plantar fasciitis in his right foot,
a condition that causes pain
in the heel and forces him to
sleep in a splint. But Williams
isnt blaming Paiges decreased
numbers on that, and neither is
the junior himself.
Tonight in Raleigh, that pain
wont matter. Its N.C. State
versus UNC.
Part of what makes this
league fun is playing in games
like, you know, at Raleigh,
where theyre not particularly
fond of us, Paige said.

If the shoe UNC, Duke theatre groups unite

doesnt t, its
not Jordans
The collaborative
project includes
themes of identity.
By Trey Flowers

Shoes that sold for

$33,387 might not have
been worn in a game.
By Sofia Edelman
Staff Writer

Nearly $34,000 will buy a

lot of things a new Acura
TLX, a down-payment on a
house, a pair of shoes.
A client of Long Islandbased Grey Flannel Auctions
who chose to remain anonymous recently purchased a
pair of blue Converse shoes
that the site claimed were
game-worn by Michael
Jordan during his time at
UNC. According to ESPN,
the shoes sold for $33,387.
The price might have
seemed like a deal to some
UNC sports aficionados until
the shoes authenticity came
into question.
Those shoes were not
game-worn by Jordan, at
least not in the way they
were described in the catalog, Adam Lucas, a columnist for GoHeels.com, said
in an email.
I saw the shoes in the
Grey Flannel catalog, Lucas
said. I was surprised to see
the blue Converse model
because that same exact
model had been up for sale
several years ago.
After seeing the shoes on
sale again, Lucas contacted
Grey Flannel Auctions and
said he didnt believe they
were Michael Jordans
authentic game-worn shoes.
There was no evidence
Carolina ever wore blue
Converse during Jordans college career, Lucas said.
There are no photos or
film at all from the 1982 season of anyone on Carolinas
roster including Jordan
wearing blue Converse.
But Lucas doesnt deny

that the shoes could have

belonged to Jordan.
Its possible the shoes
could have been worn by
Jordan or belonged to Jordan,
but it is very, very unlikely
they were worn in a game,
he said.
Michael Jordan declined to
comment on the authenticity
of the shoes.
Even if the shoes are
found to be fake, Grey
Flannel Auctions might not
face legal action.
There are two sellers
here: the person who sold the
auction shoes to the auction
house and the auction house,
said UNC law professor
Deborah Gerhardt.
Neither should be found
guilty of fraud if they made
statements they believed in
good faith to be true.
Michael Russek, director
of operations at Grey Flannel
Auctions, declined to comment on the matter.
Even if they are not liable
for fraud or under contract,
they may choose to give a
remedy to the buyer to show
that they are a reputable organization, so that future clients
wont fear that they are taking
a risk of purchasing fakes from
them, Gerhardt said.
According to reports by
ESPN, Grey Flannel Auctions
has already offered a refund
to the highest bidder.
Steve Kirschner,
spokesman for the UNC
Department of Athletics,
said multiple parties lose
when fake sports memorabilia are produced.
I dont think its just
specific to athletic departments and universities; the
buyers are taken advantage
of, the collectors are taken
advantage of, the sports
fans are taken advantage of,
Kirschner said.

Staff Writer

UNC theatre groups Kenan

Theatre Company and LAB!
Theatre are developing a production revolving around the
nature of identity in conjunction with Duke University.
Duke student Priyanka
Chaurasia founded the project Me Too Monologues in
2009, which uses material
submitted solely by students.
Duke junior and Me Too
director Kari Barclay was
responsible for bringing the
production to UNC and six
other universities across the
country. Although the project
originally centered on race,
the theme of identity was
introduced to broaden the
projects scope.
Peoples identities are so
intersectional, so it wouldnt
be enough to talk about
Asian-American identity. We
had to start talking about
what it means to be an AsianAmerican woman, or what it
means to be African-American
and gay, Barclay said. We
wanted to capture the different facets of identity that
each person has and how they
intersect with each other.
UNC sophomore and
KTC producing director
Emma Gutt acted as the
initial proxy in bringing Me
Too to Chapel Hill, and she
also helped secure grant
money for the production
through the Kenan-Biddle
Partnership.
The grant allows Duke
students and UNC students
to attend the different shows
and kind of see whats different and similar, which is awesome, she said.
Gutt also said the event is
unique compared to projects
that UNCs theater groups normally produce.
Its something that comes
from the audience. It comes
from the people on campus.
LAB! is also involved in the

production of Me Too, but

the organization has plans to
produce a separate project
based on student submissions. The project will revolve
around students experiences
with love and is tentatively
called The Love Project.
I think both speak to different areas of the human condition, said UNC junior Byron
Frazelle, who is co-directing
The Love Project with sophomore Catherine Shocket.

Shocket said she wants

viewers to connect with The
Love Project.
I hope the people who
come see The Love Project
are moved in emotional ways,
and I also hope that they have
a good time and laugh and
enjoy themselves, she said.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

These
guys
must be
crazy

Measured response
needed to tanning

NEXT

rofessional rock climbers Tommy Caldwell

and Kevin Jorgeson are
currently climbing a smooth,
3,000-foot sheet of granite
in the dead of winter. If they
succeed they will be the first
to climb the Dawn Wall, a
southern face of El Capitan
in Yosemite National Park,
without the help of extra hand
and foot holds screwed into the
rock. Their attempt is momentous enough to garner extensive
coverage by media outlets like
The New York Times.
Every foot they ascend
brings them closer to fame
and glory, which waits for
them, glowing at the top of the
mountain like the peak does in
the first morning light. Its that
golden sunrise shimmer that
gives the Dawn Wall its name
and makes it such an iconic
feature of El Capitan.
But what price must these
men pay to reach the summit?
Some call their quest noble, but
others denounce them as attention-seeking. Obsessive. Crazy.
Caldwell and Jorgenson have
been living in a tent suspended
on the side of the cliff for two
weeks. They wake up every four
hours to apply lotion to their
cracked fingertips.
They sand their hands to
keep them rough enough to grip
corrugations in the stone. They
sand the bottoms of their shoes.
Caldwell even refused an
invitation to scale mountains
around the world with another
famous climber in favor of
continuing to practice the
Dawn Wall, as hes been doing
for the past seven years.
This behavior is typical of
competitive runners who tend
to be compulsive, type-A sorts.
Extreme sports enthusiasts
have a reputation for being
reckless adrenaline junkies.
Both are considered to have a
touch of crazy in them.
The very word crazy writes
off tireless motivation as nonsensical. The term is a step
backward in addressing mental
health and navigating relationships. It might also keep us from
appreciating the magnitude of
passion a climber, runner or
mountain biker uses to push the
limits of the human body.
Compulsive behavior
is unhealthy because its
unsustainable. Attentionseeking behavior is unhealthy
because it suggests a person
requires external affirmation.
Onlookers question whether
these behaviors are a problem
for Caldwell and Jorgeson.
All signs say no. Regular
social media updates from
almost 2,000 feet up the wall
indicate that the men are driven but not obsessive. They take
the time to marvel at the beauty
of their surroundings, comment
on how amazing it is that the
skin on their fingertips might
be all thats keeping them from
victory, ask for friendly advice
from the climbing community
and communicate with their
friends and family down below.
They take time to rest. They
wait for each other when one
man lags behind on a difficult
move, even if that means days
of delay. With compulsiveness
and fame-mongering out of the
way, all thats left is passion.
They climb because its what
they love to do. Theyre leaping
the bounds of comfort zones,
staying loyal to long-term goals
and dreaming big. If thats crazy,
then thats a madness we could
all use a touch of.
BEYOND THE QUAD
Nikhil Umesh will discuss

A decent proposal
Fraternities should
not hire strippers
for rush events.

ehold the excited

yet wary freshmen, the curious
exchange students and all
those in between spring
rush is upon us! As those
UNC fraternities who
choose to conduct spring
recruitment begin their
process of selecting candidate members, they would
be wise to exclude the tradition of introducing rushees to female strippers.
Its no secret that some
though by no means all
fraternities have some
sort of stripper night
during rush, despite it

being a clear violation of

multiple Interfraternity
Council policies. Since the
University is either unable
or unwilling to crack
down, here is our case for
why strippers during rush
are a bad idea:
First, the sex industry
exploits women and using
it as bait is misogynistic,
heteronormative and
offensive to women. If
there is one thing fraternities dont want to turn
away, its the young women
who attend their parties.
Second, arranging for
unwitting male students
to participate in a stripper
night is predatory. Rush is,
in itself, a series of new and
eye-opening activities for
rushees. Many rushees find

themselves doing things

they never considered
possible, such as getting
really drunk and watching strippers, regardless
of their personal beliefs.
Fraternities shouldnt prey
on the relative innocence
of freshmen.
Third, a fraternity,
through rush, should strive
to leave rushees with a
sense of the defining qualities of their organization.
No fraternity worth its salt
wants strippers to be the
defining activity of their
rush process in the minds
of candidate members.
The marginal benefits
a fraternity might achieve
with a stripper night do
not outweigh the debauchery of such an event.

Reimagining the Varsity

The Varsity needs
more than digital
improvements.

s the Varsity
Theatre fights to
preserve its place
on Franklin Street as an
accessible and historic asset
to the town, it deserves the
continued engagement of
students and community
members as well as their
immediate support.
The fundraiser, Go
Digital or Go Dark, has
already raised more than
$47,000 of its $50,000
goal, using appeals to the
theaters historic value.
But that history must
be critically examined to
determine the direction

the theater should take.

In its earlier years, the
Varsity showed a variety of
films from different genres
and perspectives, comparable to the independent
content shown at the competing Chelsea Theater.
It suffered financially, as
many independent theaters
have. In 2009, the Varsity
was purchased by current
owners Paul and Susan
Shareshian. The two made
several managerial changes,
specifically by introducing
$3 tickets and showing
more mainstream titles.
At that time, it was not
the communitys place to
ask for a change in the
venues business model,
and it is understandable
that the theaters own-

ers would choose to show

proven box office draws
to ensure the financial
security of the venue. But
any cultural center has a
responsibility to promote
independent thought in
cinema that may not be as
economically fruitful.
In turn, if the Varsity
should take such a risk,
members of this community have a responsibility to
support that mission with
their wallets.
Having funded the digital transition, the community should also have a say
in what films are shown.
The Varsity should make
at least a partial return to
the theaters tradition of
highlighting exciting innovations in cinema.

WHOPPER

We love this story because

it totally sounds like something your grandmother
would Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: you,
but its true: A judge issued
an arrest warrant for a
9-year-old boy who failed
to show up for a court
date. The alleged crime?
Stealing a pack of gum.
Keep in mind the extent to
which you relied on your
parents as a taxi service
until you were 16 and let
the absurdity of his situation truly sink in.
The Associated Press
reports that the boy is now
being kept in a juvenile
detention center, which
is probably the strongest
possible case against the
United States propensity
for over-incarceration.

The Daily Tar Heel has

many moving parts.
Sometimes, those parts
dont communicate with
each other as well as they
should.
As a result, we find ourselves in our own Burn
Book this week for not
fully understanding the
terms of mediation before
accusing UNCs administration of waiting until
New Years Eve to release
the names of disciplined
employees. Our counsel
asked that the names be
released the next day
and that happened to
be Dec. 31. We stand by
our request for increased
transparency, but agree
we could have been far
more fair in making it.

TO THE EDITOR:
I recognize the dangers
of using tanning beds, but
seeking their prohibition
from private residential
developments is not the
appropriate response. This
type of action is part of a
larger trend in the United
States of trying to regulate things that ought to
be left to the discretion of
citizens. It is also a misleading attack on the use
of private property. I am
open to a debate about the
merits of a single-payer
health care system and
increased efforts to inform
citizens of environmental
and behavioral health hazards. However, I believe
that government cannot be
a substitute for personal
responsibility.
Indoor tanning is dangerous. But so are outdoor
tanning, cigarettes, alcohol,
driving a car, and eating
too much. Legislatures
in America increasingly
attempt to discourage
unhealthy habits through
direct prohibition or
behavioral economics. A
new regulation requires
chain restaurants to display
nutrition information for
their menu items. While
large chains will easily
cover this additional burden, similar regulation of
smaller businesses would
impose significant costs.
Legalism is not always the
best option.
I disagree with Ms.
Zeitany and The Daily Tar
Heels use of the term free
tanning. Residents of those
communities are paying
for a dwelling space, which
includes an amenity in the
same way it includes lawn
care and paved parking
lots. Using local ordinances
to prohibit private tanning
is a waste of the towns
resources and, more importantly, may not be legal.
If Ms. Zeitany feels very
strongly about the consequences of tanning, then
she should initiate a public
awareness campaign. If her
concern relates to the health
care costs of indoor tanners
being shouldered by others,
then she should take up the
cause of health care reform.
Infringing on property rights
through a town ordinance
is not the way to prevent
undesirable health outcomes
related to tanning.

At the moment, the specter

of big data is looming especially large, and
people are taking serious
action: Long Facebook
statuses written in legalese, informing the powers
that be that they have no
right to exploit the posting
accounts data. Its cute,
but sad. Unfortunately,
the terms of service you
agreed to when you joined
Facebook still apply,
despite the fanciness of
your copy/pasted posts
to the contrary. But we
love the idea of a Facebook employee scrolling
through someones wall,
seeing this post, and telling his superiors that this
person is not someone to
be trifled with.

Some discussions
arent for everyone
TO THE EDITOR:
In light of recent conversations that have surfaced
on social media and in pop
culture, there are a few
points still to make.
With regard to the beef
between hip hop musicians
Kendrick Lamar, Lupe
Fiasco and Azealia Banks,
it should be made apparently clear as to who has

the privilege of speaking

and who should listen.
Hip hop music, an art
form created by blacks to
express the emotions and
sensibilities of other black
folks, was not created for
the profit or superficial
enjoyment of white folks.
I assume best intentions
but hold Lamar accountable for his impact when
he commented to Billboard
magazine saying, When
we dont have respect for
ourselves, how do we expect
them to respect us?
Banks retorted with
harsh and pointed criticism
at Lamar, citing systemic
inequality and generational effects of poverty, racism,
and discrimination.
Although I am more
inclined to agree with
Banks and her idea of generational inequality, as a
black person in this culture,
I have also struggled to love
myself. This contradiction
and internal conflict has
not only been difficult to
express in a space meant for
expressing black ideals, but
it has also been stifled by
white opinionated men.
It is not in the interest of
white folks to comment on
this dispute, regardless of
how much they promise to
love hip hop.
There have been a number of white folks who think
it is their responsibility
to come to the defense of
their boi Kendrick Lamar,
deceptively coding their
privilege and racism.
Hip hop music was not
meant for white folks to
negatively comment upon
or rank. If you are unprepared for the emotional toll
that comes with being black
in this country or have
benefitted once from the
presentation of white skin,
then refuse to weigh in on
this debate.

New training a
necessary, simple tool
TO THE EDITOR:
This week, a male student was quoted by WRAL
saying that the new Title
IX Awareness and Violence
Prevention online training is another stress and
responsibility that us students here (dont) need to
have. I dont think I have to
say its much more stressful
to be assaulted than it is to
take a short online module,
or that its ridiculous for
a male student to say its
unnecessary. Recent studies show that school-based
gender violence prevention
programs are only effective
when both male and female
students participate.
Plus, the email sent out
says the module only takes
30 to 45 minutes to complete. Im sure weve all spent
30 to 45 minutes waiting
in line to get into Lenoir on
the first week of classes, and
thats not nearly as important as the safety of everyone
on campus. I personally
applaud UNC for taking
this hugely important step
toward violence prevention.
