Correction
Due to a reporting error,
Wednesday’s front-page story,
“Frightful ACC play worsens,”
incorrectly quoted Roy Williams
as saying he planned to have the
UNC men’s basketball team
watch movies and hang out
together Friday night as a way of
getting out of the team’s three-
game slump. Williams was actu-
ally referring to the tactics he
used in a similar situation while
he was head coach at Kansas.

for the error.

The Dialectic and Philanthropic Societies endorsed Hogan Medlin, far left, during the first student body president debate Thursday evening in New West.
Di-Phi endorses Medlin
Three candidates debate during first SBP forum
BY Stephanie Bullins
staff writer
Members of the Dialectic and Philanthropic
Societies endorsed Hogan Medlin for student
body president at their forum Thursday night.
The forum marked the beginning of a series
of public events that will take place throughout
the race until election day on Feb. 9.
It was the first opportunity for candidates
to publicly answer questions about their cam-
paigns and seek endorsements.
“I thought his platform points were extraor-
dinarily detailed,” said Di-Phi President Kevin
Whitfield about Medlin. “His presence at the
forum was wonderful. He had great command
of the room and really seemed to have fun, and
that’s key.”

Danny Glover addresses UNC facility told of
King’s civil rights legacy wastewater leaks
Speaks to packed
Memorial Hall
BY Katy Charles
staff writer
Actor and producer Danny
Glover proved Thursday that his
interests go deeper than playing
baseball with angels and getting into
police chases.
Glover spoke to a full house in
Memorial Hall as part of the 29th
annual Martin Luther King Jr.
Birthday Celebration.
Glover focused on the vision of
King and his transformation from
a civil rights leader to a human
rights leader.
Glover said the “Civil Rights
Movement King” was instrumen-
tal in bringing hope and vision to
those who were disenfranchised
and exploited.
But King’s work stretched
beyond civil rights.
“To understand him, we must
understand the process he went
through,” Glover said.
Glover spoke about how the
evils of materialism, militarism
and racism spurred King’s involve-
ment in human rights.
“When we spend more on war
than on human beings, we are

Civil War poems
mesh with art
Visitors to the Ackland Art
Museum Thursday night had the
chance to merge art and litera-
Lawrence’s exhibition “The Legend
of John Brown.”
At the event, Leslie Balkany, the
museum educator who facilitated
the evening’s program, associated
poetry from “Poets of the Civil
War,” a collection of poems from
the Civil War era compiled by J.D.
McClatchy, with the Lawrence art
installation about the famous abo-
litionist John Brown.
She gave the participants a verse
from a Civil War poem and asked
them to match it with a print that
they thought represented the writ-
ing visually.
When examining the matches
made, Balkany took the opportunity
to elaborate on Lawrence’s works.
While many of the matches were
a matter of interpretation, some
had stronger links to the images.
One of Walt Whitman’s poems
featured in the collection describes
the hanging of Brown, which is
also depicted in one of Lawrence’s
prints.
The art and literature program
takes place every three months, and
Balkany said she chooses the litera-
ture based on what the Ackland is
currently displaying.
At each session, there is also a
co-facilitator who is a UNC faculty
member. Thursday night featured
Eliza Richards, an associate profes-
sor in the English and compara-
tive literature department and an
adjunct associate professor in the
American studies department.
The discussion drew an intimate
group of visitors with an interest
in poetry, art and the war. They
talked about some of the poets
included in the collection, such as

necessary.
A judge granting a change in
venue is unusual for federal cases,
and usually defense attorneys
expect their requests to be denied,
said Richard Myers, assistant pro-
fessor at the UNC School of Law.
But this case could be different.
“The defense has done a very
good job bringing forward impor-
tant information, enough to make
the judge really think this through,”
Myers said.
The prosecution is likely to argue
in its response that the move would
cause an unnecessary financial
burden and that the jury selection
process could be effective in find-
ing unbiased participants, Myers
said.

my friends can’t come, and the
only people that see my work are
30-year-olds,” he said.
“We H(art) UNC” featured art
from students around campus,
regardless of their majors.
“Some of the participants aren’t
even art majors, so it’s an oppor-
tunity for people who do it on the
side to see what they can do and
show their talent as an artist,”
said Meggie Staffiera, senior class
president.
She said students were excited for
the chance to show off their pieces
in Wilson Library during the one-
night-only event.
“I think it was an opportunity
that people wanted to take advan-
tage of. People are really excited
to get out and show what they can
do,” Staffiera said.
Visual artists weren’t the only ones
spotlighted at the exhibit. Harpist
Caroline Scism and the Loreleis
performed, serving as a soundtrack
to the event.
Staffiera said they were excited
to have Scism and the Loreleis per-
form because of their reputations
as well-known, accomplished stu-
dent musicians.
Scism even got the event a bit
more publicity from friends who
noticed her name on the event’s
information.
“A lot of my friends were like,
‘Hey, we saw the events page on
Facebook and saw your name as a
performer,’” she said.
Lisa Garland, a senior sociology major, sets up her photography display
at the “We H(art) UNC” exhibition in Wilson Library on Thursday night.
Organizers decided to hold the
event in the library to promote the
senior campaign, which supports
UNC’s library system.
“We came up with this event
to get the word out about seniors
supporting the library system,”
Staffiera said.
She called the event a chance
to “learn about ways to give back
to the campaign and ways to give
back to Carolina.”
Organizers said they wanted to
give students a chance to look inside
Wilson, learn about their campaign

and have a sophisticated location

Overall, the show was a good
match for the impressive interior
architecture of Wilson Library.
“I think that a lot of people do

see Wilson,” Staffiera said. “It is a
beautiful and important building,
so I think it is cool for students to
see a building they do not venture
into very often.”

Renovations that would improve
the Orange County courthouse are
taking longer than county offi-
cials expected and are creating
problems for residents with court
dates.
Plans to build an additional
40,000-square-foot courtroom
at the Hillsborough courthouse
and to heat the facility with water
pulled from more than 40 local
wells began in 2007.
But the renovation process has
stripped the building of its furnace
and air conditioning, leaving Mural
Courtroom, the main courtroom,
too cold for use.
Some cases are instead sent
downstairs to the F. Gordon Battle
Courtroom, but construction has
rerouted the path.
“Because of the Mural
Courtroom’s construction, the
route to the Battle courtroom has
become very long and circuitous,”
said county Clerk of Court James
Stanford.
The path involves a trip through
a metal detector, down a long hall-
way and a large flight of stairs
through a door leading outside.
Then visitors follow a caution-
taped path back inside to the new
“People don’t venture out to
Hillsborough, but when they see it, they
are glad to come back.”
elizabeth reed, alliance for historical hillsborough executive director, on
the benefits of having the courthouse in hillsborough
part of the old courthouse.
On average, the county sees any-
where between 10 and 400 cases
each day, Stanford said.
Because of the renovations,
many of the higher docket cases are
transferred to the district court in
Chapel Hill.
The original cost for the
courthouse renovations, run
by Durham-based Bordeaux
Construc tion Company, was
about $12 million, said Pam
Jones, Director of Purchasing and
Central Services for the county.
But re-evaluations led an addi-
tional $137,009 to be injected
into the project Dec. 15.
Construction and renovation
ceased in December when asbestos
was discovered in the building.
But the removal process of
asbestos from the 58-year-old
Mural Courtroom resulted in vio-
lations of the fire code, which led
the county to invest more money in
the project. A $250,000 sprinkler
system had to be installed, Jones
said.
The construction hasn’t been
kind on court officials either.
Judges have temporarily moved
their offices into the judge’s cham-
bers.
All Orange County cases will
be transferred back to the Mural
Courtroom when it resumes opera-
tions in April.
Alliance for Historical
Hillsborough Executive Director
Elizabeth Reed said the resumed
traffic of court cases could be a
boon for the town.
“People attending court is unin-
tended, but very good advertising
for Hillsborough.” Reed said.
“People don’t venture out to
Hillsborough, but when they see
it, they are glad to come back.”

Corporate election Two aftershocks hit Haiti, causing
spending allowed little new damage to U.S. troops
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— A closely divided Supreme
Court on Thursday swept away
long-standing limits on campaign
spending by unions and corpora-
tions.
In a much-anticipated 5-4
decision, the court’s conservative
majority declared that the limits
on so-called independent expendi-
tures by corporations violate First
Amendment free-speech rights.
The decision means more money
can be spent on federal elections,
including this year’s midterm con-
gressional elections.
“The government may regulate
corporate political speech through
disclaimer and disclosure require-
ments, but it may not suppress
that speech altogether,” Justice
Anthony Kennedy wrote for the
majority.
John Edwards
admits paternity
RALEIGH, N.C. (MCT) —
John Edwards acknowledged
on Thursday morning being
the father of Frances Quinn
Hunter, the 2-year-old daugh-
ter of his former mistress, Rielle
Hunter.
The admission comes after
more than two years of rumors
and tabloid hounding and an
investigation into campaign
money federal authorities sus-
pect circulated around Edwards’
mistress.
Edwards, former Nor th
Carolina senator and failed pres-
idential candidate, has repeat-
edly denied being Frances Quinn
Hunter’s father since August
2008.
“It was wrong for me ever to
deny she was my daughter, and
hopefully one day, when she
understands, she will forgive me,”
Edwards said in a statement.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
— Two aftershocks rattled Haiti
shortly before noon Thursday
but appeared to cause little new
damage as U.S. and international
troops ramped up capacity for the
quake-ravaged country to receive
humanitarian cargo, heavy equip-
ment, fuel and other supplies.
Three new airfields and the
reopening of the capital’s seaport
will dramatically increase the
amount of aid flowing into Haiti
and help relieve the congestion of
round-the-clock deliveries at the
main airport, the Pentagon said.
Gen. Douglas Fraser, com-
mander for the U.S. Southern
Command, said the capital’s sea-
port will reopen Thursday and
can accommodate the moving
of about 150 shipping contain-
ers per day. He said a commer-

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— The House of Representatives
can’t pass the Senate’s health care
bill in its present form, Speaker
Nancy Pelosi said Thursday,
which is a potentially lethal set-
back for Democratic efforts to
salvage health legislation.
“In its present form, without
any changes, I don’t think it’s
possible to pass the Senate bill
in the House,” Pelosi told a news
conference.
“I don’t see the votes for it at
this time.”
The White House bowed
to the need to pause on health
care.
“The president believes it is
the exact right thing to do, by
giving this some time, by let-
ting the dust settle, if you will,
and looking for the best path
forward,” White House press
secretary Robert Gibbs said.
cial ship is scheduled to arrive
Friday, when the port’s capacity
is expected to grow to 250 con-
tainers per day.
The three new airfields —
including one in the southern
coastal town of Jacmel and two
in the neighboring Dominican
Republic — will increase the
amount of food, water, medicine,
tents, fuel and other supplies
entering the country, Fraser said.
He said there is a list of 1,400
flights waiting to enter the Port-
au-Prince airfield, which has one
landing strip, one tarmac and
one loading ramp.
The increased flow of human-
itarian aid and supplies through
new entry points likely will cause
greater congestion on Haiti’s
roads, Fraser said, possibly
delaying the delivery of relief.
LOS ANGELES — Ending
his brief reign as host of one
of television’s longest-running
shows, Conan O’Brien finalized
a severance deal with NBC that
releases the comedian from “The
Tonight Show” and frees him to
join another network in time for
the new fall season.
The settlement, hammered
out over the past week, brings
to an abrupt end O’Brien’s nearly
20-year career with NBC.
O’Brien, who has two and
a half years remaining on his
contract, will walk away with
about $32 million, according to
people close to the negotiations
who spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because they were not
authorized to discuss the matter
publicly. Overall, NBC will have
to shell out $40 million to $50
million to close the book on its
late-night drama.
federal stimulus money
Funds to be used toward technology “I’m confident that
By Isabella Cochrane
Staff Writer
North Carolina school sys-
tems are racing toward education
reform in hopes of proving them-
selves worthy of a federal stimulus
grant.
Last year, the federal govern-
ment set aside $4 billion in a
program called Race to the Top
to improve education across the
country. Instead of distributing the
money to states equally, President
Barack Obama is encouraging
states to compete for it by submit-
ting their proposals.
“We’ll open up opportunity —
evenly and equitably — across our
education system,” Obama said
Tuesday while explaining the grant
at a school in Virginia.
“We’ll develop a culture of inno-
vation and excellence in our public
schools. And we’ll reward success
and replicate it across the coun-
try.”
The grant will be awarded to
states that apply for it and fulfill
several criteria set by the govern-
ment for improving students’
education.
School systems are encouraged
to incorporate technology into the
classroom and use better tech-
niques to assess student progress,
Obama said.
Gov. Bev Perdue has requested

nearly $470 million in education
stimulus money to be spent in
four years, said Chrissy Pearson,
Perdue’s press secretary.
“As a national leader in educa-
tional innovation, I’m confident
that North Carolina is in a good
position to receive Race to the Top
funding,” Perdue said in a press
release.
The state has submitted its pro-
posal and is looking into making
the necessary improvements to
stay competitive.
June Atkinson, the state super-
intendent of public instruction,
said North Carolina’s proposal
for the grant includes increasing
graduation rates and improving
low-performance schools.
Atkinson said they hope to use
the grant to provide teachers with
technology to assess student learn-
ing in place of quizzes and stan-
dardized tests.
“We’re trying to figure out what
students’ weaknesses are before
they get to the end of the course,”
she said. “We want the assessment
to go beyond the multiple-choice
test.”
Another component to the state’s
proposal is an educator evaluation
system.
In the past, teachers have needed
assistance with teaching students
with special needs and those who

speak another language, Atkinson
said.
Rather than attending training
sessions, teachers will be able to
access online programs at home to
learn techniques for working with
these types of students, Atkinson
said.
Forty states, including North
Carolina, and the District of
Columbia have applied for the
grant. California, Florida, New
York and Texas have requested the
most money from the grant.
But Atkinson said the state
stands a good chance of receiving
the grant because of its past efforts
in improving education.
“This is a huge step in the right
direction and a big incentive for the
Feds to know that North Carolina
is serious about educating our chil-
dren in an innovative way,” Pearson
said.
The first round of grant recipi-
ents will be announced in April.

Gym visitations spike at start of new year
Resolutions could be the main culprit
BY chelsey bentley
and Tyler hardy
staff writers
As many make the common New
Year’s resolution to get in shape,
area gyms are seeing more sweaty
armpits and busier treadmills than
usual.
The week before exams last
semester, roughly 16,000 vis-
its were reported to Rams Head
Recreation Center and the Student
Recreation Center. The number
of visits for the first week of the
spring semester totaled more than
20,000.
“Till the numbers start to fall
back, which they will in a couple
of weeks, students sometimes tend
to get frustrated with each other,”
said Marty Pomerantz, director of
campus recreation.
This surge of student activity in
the gyms will probably last until
the beginning of February, which
is what has happened in years past,
said Jordan Albertson, the student
services specialist at Rams Head.
Peak hours for Rams Head and
the SRC begin around 4:30 p.m.
and continue until 8 p.m., with
Mondays being the busiest day of
the week, Albertson said.
“Right now we are trying to wipe
down the equipment more often
because it is getting used a lot more
and trying to keep the staff more
calm and patient and to encour-
age students to come at less peak
hours,” Pomerantz said.

Hurdles
abound
in filling
courses
W
hen I first decided to
come to UNC, I was
excited about the beau-
tiful quads, the friendly atmo-
sphere and the chance to learn
from some of the nation’s best
professors. What I wasn’t expect-
ing was to have to jump through
a series of daunting hoops in
hopes of one day graduating.
Don’t get me wrong, I love
UNC, and I’m sure I will miss it
after 2011. But the advisers in
Steele apparently want me to stay
here until I’m 30, slowly wading
through more unforeseen course
requirements like an obstacle
course or an expensive goose
chase.
I know that academic adminis-
trators decided to overhaul things
in an effort to make the UNC expe-
rience as scholarly as possible, and
I appreciate their good intentions.
I completely understand that
they want me to know something
about “Global Issues.” And “The
World Before 1750” seems like
an exciting place indeed. But to
be fair, aren’t “Global Issues” and
“Beyond the North Atlantic” rather
the same idea?
The 19 general education
requirements listed in my course
search engine seem like a mostly
repetitive, inevitably confusing,
labyrinthine journey through the
circles of hell. I’ve so far beaten
back the demons of “Historical
Analysis,” “Foreign Language”
and “Social and Behavioral
Science,” but “Quantitative
Reasoning” and “Visual and
Performing Arts” seem to await
eagerly, bludgeons in hand.
And why, might you ask, have
I yet to fulfill my quantitative
requirements even though I am a
second-semester junior? The rea-
son is simple: I despise math. I’ve
never liked it — I’m pursuing a
degree in English, and I think I’m
entitled to feel that these require-
ments are unnecessary.
Imagine my chagrin freshman
year upon realizing that I would
be required to take not only one
math course, but two, the second
one sneakily hidden under the
“Connections” heading.
I feel a great sense of loss
when looking back at the num-
ber of hours I have spent dur-
ing the past 2.5 years trying to
grasp the sadistic interplay of
“Connections,” “Approaches” and
“Foundations.” I have looked
through course books, written
class combinations down on note
cards, and seemingly have gotten
the gist of it, only to begin the
journey anew the next semester.
The system simply isn’t intui-
tive. “Connections,” “Approaches”
and “Foundations” are merely jar-
gon that intensify the confusion of
course requirements, adding lay-
ers to an already bloated design.
It’s bad enough that I still
don’t know what “U.S. Diversity”
is supposed to mean (Shouldn’t
my American literature class
count? Apparently not.) without
having to figure out how the
three-tiered system is possibly
supposed to connect to my major.
It really doesn’t help that some
courses can count for multiple
requirements; it’s frustrating to
feel that any kind of efficiency
in completing a degree requires
a treasure hunt. How am I sup-
posed to concentrate on studying
when I’m constantly paranoid
that my current classes aren’t the
most clever combination?
Administrators might have
had good intentions in design-
ing our new three-pronged
course system, but as the
recent fine arts requirement
debacle has shown, the pro-
gram is just not working.
We need more transparency,
less redundancy and respect
for wanting to graduate some-
time before we hit middle age.

A charter for success
Lifting cap on privately run, publicly funded schools
in North Carolina would benefit schools, students
N
orth Carolina should
lift its cap on charter
schools in order to be
more competitive for federal
grants and give students more
choices and opportunities.
The state hopes to receive
$469.5 million in federal edu-
cation grants for the next four
years.
States that provide favor-
able environments for charter
schools will have an advan-
tage to receive this money. But
North Carolina has mandated
that no more than 100 charter
schools can be approved.
Charter schools are funded
by public money but are run
by private or nonprofit admin-
istrators. These schools do not
have to be subject to a huge
bureaucracy, which allows
them to operate more efficient-
ly. Educators have more auton-
End the exploitation
Loopholes make it easy for employers to exploit day
laborers; Carrboro right to push for just compensation
T
hanks to the Carrboro
Board of Aldermen,
a group that is often
ignored might soon receive
some support.
The board approved a
motion at Tuesday’s meeting
to look into potentially crack-
ing down on employers who
don’t fairly compensate day
laborers.
This is a good first step.
The board should look for
enforceable ways to punish
employers who exploit the
work of day laborers.
Wage theft is not criminal-
ized under federal and state
employment statutes. This
can create a loophole for
employers.

E-books often cheaper alternative to print editions
T
extbook prices are out of
control.
In the 2006-07 aca-
demic year, students paid an
average of about $700 for text-
books. That’s more than triple
the proposed tuition increase for
the 2010-11 school year for in-
state students at UNC.
Textbook prices have skyrock-
eted over the past two decades at
double the rate of inflation.
But here’s what puzzles me:
Our student body has been
exceptionally vocal about tuition
hikes — but not the increasing
cost of textbooks.
A major villain in all of this is
the “new edition.” A good exam-
ple of this on our campus is the
infamous media law textbook
pack. Students taking the course
must pay $90 for two new books
just about every semester.
This can make sense from an
academic content standpoint.
Laws and information are always
changing in the field of media,
and thus constant updating is

omy regarding the curriculum
and selection of textbooks.
In addition, charter insti-
tutions are not bound by any
specific district or town, which
allows for a more diverse stu-
dent body.
At Carter Community School,
a K-8 charter school in Durham,
the administration has found
innovative ways to reduce stu-
dent-teacher ratios, resulting in
an average ratio of 16:1.
Gail Taylor, principal of the
school, said these advantages
allow charter schools to “create
an environment which changes
lives”.
Opponents of charter schools
maintain that these institu-
tions have not been shown to
be any better than traditional
public schools. They point to a
2007 study by the N.C. Center
for Public Policy Research that
Carrboro’s day laborers,
the majority of whom are
Hispanic, gather outside most
mornings in hopes of getting
work.
In Carrboro, they often
gather across from the Abbey
Court Condominiums.
Some of those day labor-
ers have said that they have
worked as much as a month
without pay and yet are fear-
ful of filing a complaint with
the Department of Labor.
Day laborers often stand in
the excessive heat or extreme
cold. They often seem to be
impervious to the conditions
they work in every day. They
rise early in the morning and
in many cases work late into

usually always necessary.
This, of course, thrills pub-
lishers who are looking for any
way to weasel a few extra dollars
out of our pockets.
But here’s where we can really
fight back.
E-reader devices, such as the
Amazon Kindle, are a brilliant
way to combat high prices.
For a reasonable startup
cost, students could purchase
one of these readers and pay a
very small fee to download their
books every semester.
But students can’t do it alone.
We need our professors, who

concluded that charter schools
as a whole performed worse
than public schools in impor-
tant statistics such as the grad-
uation rate.
Additionally, charter schools
allow for parents to have more
control over their children’s
schooling. This allows for bet-
ter choice in education, some-
thing every child deserves.
For instance, parents who
prefer a classical liberal arts
program could enroll their
child in Woods Charter School
in Chapel Hill, which special-
izes in this curriculum.
Millions of federal dollars
for education could be at stake
if North Carolina does not
change its policy toward char-
ter schools. But the state has
never fully embraced them.
It is time to lift the cap on
charter schools.
the night.
It is both sad and unjust
that these workers have gone
unpaid for the work that they
have done and the service
that they have given to the
community.
A loud round of applause
should be doled out to the
town of Carrboro and Chapel
Hill for being two of the five
cities in the United States to
create a human rights policy.
These human rights should
extend to the day laborers.
And while there may be a
few who disagree with the
decision of the board, they
would surely agree that a per-
son who works deserves to be
paid.
ultimately can really help us save
a lot of money.
Professors can do this by
actively seeking out textbooks
that have an e-reader edition
available for purchase.
It’s a simple matter of sup-
ply and demand. Early calls for
e-reader textbooks led three
major publishers to begin to
offer textbooks through the
Kindle.
E-readers are also environ-
mentally friendly. Estimates
predict e-book sales will prevent
5.27 billion kilograms of carbon
dioxide emissions in 2012.
The e-reader might not be
right for everyone. Some people
prefer books to e-readers for
highlighting purposes, and others
might just prefer physical books.
But a cost-conscious student
could save about a semester’s
worth of in-state tuition by
switching to e-readers.
E-readers are the future of col-
lege textbooks. UNC should get
with the times.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Margolis is right; ticket
policy must favor students
TO THE EDITOR:
Greg Margolis is 100 percent
correct with his views on the stu-
dent ticket policy for Carolina
men’s basketball games, “Put
ticket policy in hot seat,” (Jan.
20).
It’s nice to know that others
feel the way that my friends and
I feel.
Let’s face facts here: Our bas-
ketball atmosphere at the Dean
Dome is just awful.
None of our students can get
anywhere close to the floor, and
thus cannot be heard and have
no incentive for being loud.
Be honest with yourself, what
do you do if you get a Phase 5
ticket? Unless it’s a Duke game,
odds are you’re not going to
go.
You can scream as loud as you
want from up there and no one
is going to hear you, so why not
stay in your dorm and watch the
game on ESPN (and have a much
better view of the action)?
Watch the next Carolina home
game on television.
What do you see when the
camera pans the crowd? That’s
right, elderly alumni sitting with
their young grandchildren who
don’t stand up or take part in
cheers the student section tries
to start.
Now watch a Duke home
basketball game or even an
N.C. State basketball home
game. What do you see?
What’s that? Students actually
sitting near the court, and not
just behind the goal but along
the sidelines as well?
Wow, what an amazing con-
cept!
As it stands, our atmosphere
at the Dean Dome is one of the
worst in the country taking into
account the capacity of our sta-
dium and the number of under-
graduates at Carolina.

Leaving basketball games
early is never acceptable
TO THE EDITOR:
With six minutes left in the
men’s basketball game against
Wake Forest on Wednesday,
a fellow recent alumna and I
sat in a crowded Manhattan
bar, screaming at the TV in
an ultimately futile attempt to
encourage our Tar Heel boys to
victory.
So imagine my disbelief when
a scan of the crowd showed a
half-empty stadium — with six
minutes left!
Come on now, fellow Tar
Heels, that’s not how we cheer.
It certainly wasn’t how we did
it in early April, and it shouldn’t
be how we show our support for
a team struggling to fill some big
shoes.
So please, Carolina fans
lucky enough to be in Chapel
Hill, stay in your seats through
every game, whether we’re up
by double digits or losing for a
third time in a row.
And be assured that those of
us in faraway places are scream-
ing at the top of our lungs, win
or loss.
