CHAPEL HILL SHOOTING

Scholarship

shooting
victims
The scholarship will be
offered to students at N.C.
State University.
By Zoe Schaver
Assistant City Editor

Deah Shaddy Barakats gift for

leadership, Razan Mohammad AbuSalhas talent for creativity and Yusor
Mohammad Abu-Salhas skills in community service will have a chance to
live on in new generations of students
following N.C. States announcement of
a scholarship in their honor.
The Our Three Winners scholarship
commemorates the lives of the three
students shot and killed Feb. 10 at
Chapel Hills Finley Forest neighborhood, a crime that some believe was
a hate crime against the Muslim students. Barakat, Razan Abu-Salha and
Yusor Abu-Salha each attended N.C.
State as undergraduates.
Like my father said, that was probably the first happy moment weve had
since the incident as a family, said
Yousef Abu-Salha, brother of Razan
Abu-Salha and Yusor Abu-Salha.
The scholarship will be supported
by an endowment fund to which N.C.
State will contribute $60,000, said
Laurie Reinhardt-Plotnik, the universitys associate vice chancellor for development. Outside contributions are also
being accepted.
In the conversations that we had
with the family about how to honor
these students most meaningfully, they
felt that the three colleges that are represented enabled their children to blossom, Reinhardt-Plotnik said.
Students in the Poole College of
Management, the College of Sciences
and the College of Design who demonstrate the qualities possessed by the
three students will be given the award,
possibly as soon as fall 2015, said Kushal
Dasgupta, the universitys associate vice
chancellor for advancement services.
Yousef Abu-Salha said the scholarship is a perfect testament to the three
students and their values.
What was very special to us is that
this aligns with our faith, he said.
We have a concept in Islam called
continuous charity. Any charity that goes
on for a while building a library or a
place of worship or something like that,
or even planting a tree, something that
will last longer than our lifetimes we
believe that has the capacity to generate
good deeds for you, even after death.
Dasgupta said the amount donated
to the scholarship fund will determine
how quickly it can be established and
how many students it will benefit.
He said officials at N.C. State have
not had enough time to tally up the
donations thus far, but ReinhardtPlotnik said the response has been
overwhelmingly positive.
There have been people who have
asked how to include it in their estate
plans, she said.
Reinhardt-Plotnik said N.C. State
Chancellor Randy Woodson, who
announced the scholarship in a statement Friday, promoted the creation
of the scholarship after speaking to
members of the community about the
Chapel Hill shooting tragedy.
Yousef Abu-Salha said he and his
family are appreciative that N.C. State
has involved them in developing the
scholarship program and is standing up
for the three students who were killed.
Its just beautiful that this opportunity came, he said.This process
includes all sorts of people of different
faiths and races collaborating its just
a beautiful meshwork.

See page 2 for the full list of UNC School of Law faculty who signed a statement responding to the Board of Governors, including those not pictured here.

Law faculty take stand on poverty centers potential closing

By Caroline Lamb
Staff Writer

More than 60 UNC law faculty have signed

onto a statement asserting that the UNC Board
of Governors recommendations on the future
of two centers in the law school limit academic
freedom and chill free speech.
The response comes after a working group
tasked with reviewing the UNC systems 237 centers and institutes recommended the elimination
of the Center on Poverty, Work & Opportunity.
Some board members also suggested that the
Center for Civil Rights stop engaging in litigation
against the state and municipalities which law
professors say would limit their work.
Such active suppression of free speech
contravenes the very lifeblood of a public university, where dialogue and dissent must be
permitted to survive, the statement said.

Some faculty believe the recommended closing

of the poverty center is an attempt to chill the free
speech of Gene Nichol, the centers director, who
is known for his passionate editorials opposing
Republican state leadership.
Jack Boger, dean of UNCs law school, said
faculty were distressed to hear the poverty center
might close since it does a lot of good work.
Boger said academic freedom is at risk because
the board is suggesting that they will take action
if they disagree with what faculty members say.
Thats what would strike at a universitys core
circumstances, that the first-rate university is a
place where people are permitted to speak freely
and controversially on lots of issues, Boger said.
Conflicting court rulings regarding the free
speech rights of public employees such as professors make the topic a national debate, said
Victoria Ekstrand, a UNC media law professor.
Its about whether the employees interest in

speaking outweighs
the employers interest in regulating that
expression, she said.
Despite tenure
protection for some
professors, said Bill
Marshall, UNC law
professor, there are
other ways to target
professors in ways that limit their free speech.
Nichol said the poverty centers shutting
wont deter him from speaking out.
When the poverty center is abolished, Ill
have more time to write, to speak and to protest North Carolinas burgeoning war on poor
people, Nichol said in a statement Wednesday.
Joseph Kennedy, a UNC law professor, said

Embody Carolina educates Anti-overdose

students on eating disorders drug saves

Carrboro victim

The group is localizing

the national week of
disorder awareness.

Carrboro police used

naloxone for the second
time to save a resident.

Katie Reeder
Staff Writer

For senior Sarah MacLean and

junior Bri Arey, Embody Carolina
gave them the platform to share
their stories about their struggles
with eating disorders.
Being comfortable sharing
my story was a big sign for me in
terms of being recovered, said
Arey, an Embody co-chairwoman.
Embody Carolina seeks to educate students about the signs of an
eating disorder and how to support someone who may have one.
This week, it is partnering with
other campus organizations to
localize National Eating Disorders
Awareness Week at UNC.
MacLean, an Embody co-chairwoman, said the theme of the week
is I had no idea, and the groups
goal is to make people more aware
of the statistics and misconceptions about eating disorders.
Eating disorders dont discriminate based on race or gender or age, MacLean said.
Theres definitely stereotypes
about it that its just white females,

By Maggie Monsrud
Staff Writer

They are diseases and really,

really serious conditions, she said.
College is a particularly risky
time due to the stressors that
come with the transition from
high school, Runfola said.
Lauren Metzger, a clinical
instructor with the center, said the
loss of normal social support can
also contribute to the onset of eating disorders in college students.
College comes with a whole
new system of feeding yourself,

Naloxone, an anti-overdose drug,

proved its worth yet again when its
application assisted the Carrboro
Police Department in saving the life
of one Carrboro resident last week.
Carrboro police officers received
a report about three potential drug
overdoses at 5:27 p.m. Thursday.
Capt. Chris Atack, spokesman
for Carrboro Police Department,
said Carrboro officers were the first
to arrive on the scene, discovering
all three of the victims were unconscious. Two of the victims were 19
years old and the third was 17.
Two of the three victims were in
critical condition. Officer Erasmo
Velazquez Jr. administered naloxone
to one of the victims, who regained
consciousness as medics carried him
down the stairs to the ambulance.
All three were taken to the hospital
and were in good condition Monday.
Atack said it is likely that they

but I know Hispanic females, black

males with eating disorders, older
women, older men.
Cristin Runfola, a clinical
assistant professor at the UNC
Center of Excellence for Eating
Disorders, said eating disorders
are extremely serious.
They are the most deadly of
all psychological conditions, she
said. People die from medical
complications as well as suicide.
She also stressed that having
an eating disorder is not a choice
made by individuals.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Return of the hidden mummy

From staff and wire reports

rchaeologists tend to earn the reputation they have for finding amazing and odd things. But this one seems especially unbelievable. The Meander Medical Center in Norway
recently discovered a Buddha statue that, unexpectedly, contained a mummy inside. Scientists at the center gave the statue a CT scan
and discovered a 1,000-year-old mummy of a Buddhist monk inside.
Some are saying its the first of its kind. But what makes it even more
remarkable is that researchers think this monk might have been selfmummified which is actually something people have been known to
practice. Thats right: this little story just went from National Treasurelevel cool to horror movie-level frightening.

Local creatives turn to crowdfunding

Crowdfunding campaigns
are increasing in popularity for creative projects.
By Siena Scarbrough
Staff Writer

Whether the goal is funding an

alternative spring break trip or creating a calendar featuring nothing
but bearded men eating breakfast
foods, crowdfunding has become a
popular way to help arts and cultural organizations and small businesses reach fundraising goals.
Many groups around campus
and the Chapel Hill community
have recently used crowdfunding sites such as GoFundMe and
Kickstarter to help bring in much
needed money.
A cappella group Tar Heel Voices
is currently trying to fund its latest album, which is released every
two years. Usually, the group relies
on paid performances as its main
source of fundraising but this year

decided to use GoFundMe to add an

additional source of funding.
This time we thought we were
going to fall short, and someone
suggested this idea to fill in the
gaps, said Davis Plunkett, president
of the group. It really raised a ton
of money. I was amazed by how successful it was.
Eden Sipperly, president of
UNC-founded Epsilon Eta, the
nations first environmental honors
fraternity, also speaks highly of the
GoFundMe site.
Any money weve raised we can
actually keep instead of not getting
it all if its not by our date, she said,
referring to how similar sites such as
Kickstarter force users to reach their
goal by a set date.
The fraternitys latest event,
Solar Spring Break, is an alternative break program in which students travel to California to install
solar panels in underprivileged
areas. The group of students needs
to raise $5,000 dollars and, using
GoFundMe, its raised almost half
of this goal.

For some groups, crowdfunding

hasnt been as successful. Beards
and Brunch a small business
founded by a UNC student and her
friends dedicated to documenting
bearded men eating breakfast foods
started using the crowdfunding
website Kickstarter to raise $1,000
for the organization. The group only
raised $50 before its deadline closed
on Friday.
The founders of Beards and
Brunch friends Molly Moser and
Haley Williams, both 2014 graduates, and Bailey Johnson are in
the process of creating a calendar
featuring scruffy male models having brunch at local restaurants.
What started as a hungover joke
turned into a fake Craigslist ad
calling for bearded male models
enjoying morning meals. Now,
with the help of social media and a
Kickstarter campaign, its turning
into a real plan.
We kind of figured everyone loved
bearded men and brunch, so its a
good collaboration, said Williams.
The women are currently focus-

Local cultural organizations turn to crowdfunding

Two UNC groups Epsilon Eta fraternity and Tar Heel Voices a cappella are using GoFundMe pages to
pay for the groups different projects. Two alumni and a former UNC student did not raise the money they
needed for their project Beards and Brunch by the deadline designated on the groups Kickstarter page.

Golden tried to reassure the

council by reminding them that
Northwood Ravin was the only
developer in Chapel Hill to be
awarded financial approval for
affordable housing twice by the federal government.
Weve actually done it, Golden
said.
Brian Wittmayer, chair of the
planning commission, also had
reservations.
There have been quite a few significant changes, he said. But not
all of the stipulations we put into
our recommendation were met.
Despite the many concerns
raised, Cianciolo said he felt it was
time to do something with the site.
Theres risk associated with it,
but theres risk about almost everything we do in this town, he said.
Golden once again attempted to
reassure the council.
We have a vision of what we can
do here.

Hot dog lovers rejoice Trolly

Stop Hot Dogs will open on Franklin
Street this week.
Trolly Stop will offer five different
kinds of hot dogs including sausage,
fat free turkey, vegetarian and gluten
free. They will also serve handdipped ice cream and beer.
All we do is hot dogs here, owner
and UNC alumnus Rick Coombs
said. We do hot dogs because we do
it really well.
The store will be located at 306B
W. Franklin St., between Toppers
Pizza and Jimmy Johns, and will
serve late-night customers until 3
a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
Theres probably nowhere else in
town where everyone is staggering
back from Pantana Bobs, Coombs
said.
Ive been there, believe me, many
times and they stagger on home
and they have a choice whether they
want a hot dog or whether they want
to do pizza or a sandwich.
Hot dog styles unique to the
Chapel Hill Trolly Stop location will
include the Tar Heel, Chapel Hill,
Bell Tower and Old Well. Theres
even a Duke style, which is totally
plain.
The ice cream is what people are
going to be tickled about, Coombs
said. Moose tracks and muddy
sneakers knock you dead. Theyre
awful good.
Trolly Stop is a North Carolinabased chain that started in
Wrightsville Beach.
Weve got a base here, people
that know us because they spend
time at the beach in the summertime, Coombs said.
Coombs said he is not concerned
about competition from Sup Dogs,
another hot dog-focused restaurant
located on Franklin Street.
He said Trolly Stop is a fast food
restaurant that will serve its hot
dogs within 30 seconds, while Sup
Dogs is a sit-down restaurant where
customers order and then wait for
food to be brought to them.
Sup Dogs owner Bret Oliverio
said his restaurant offers a different
experience than Trolly Stop.
We both have hot dogs on our
menus, but its just a totally different
atmosphere and concept, he said.
Oliverio said he was all for good
food on Franklin Street.
The more places with good food
that are on Franklin is only going to
benefit everyone, he said.
Business has been good for Sup
Dogs since they opened nine months
ago, Oliverio said.
Its been way busier than I
expected. Lunches and dinners are
solid and then of course late nights
are absolutely insane, he said.
I couldnt be happier with our
sales and our growth and thats a
testament to the UNC students
who have sort of taken us in. I think
weve been able to make a name for
ourselves with the UNC students.
UNC sophomore Karlie McCreary
said shes heard good things about
Trolly Stop, but she isnt sure whether shell visit.
I like hot dogs, she said. I just
wont go down that far.

Faculty Executive Committee members met Monday to approve a resolution expressing their concerns. It will be submitted to the Board of Governors.

Faculty committee resolution shows support for poverty center

By Ashlen Renner
Staff Writer

The Faculty Executive Committee

has approved a resolution expressing faculty concerns over the ousting
of UNC-system President Tom Ross
and the recommendation to close
the Center on Poverty, Work and
Opportunity.
The resolution will be submitted
to the UNC Board of Governors.
The UNC-system Faculty
Assembly created the resolution,
requesting that the board state its
reasons for Ross forced resignation.
Every (UNC system) assembly
has banded together to pass this
resolution, said UNC-CH Faculty
Chairman Bruce Cairns. We are
speaking on this issue as one voice.
Cairns said the resolution sets out
to create a proper relationship with

the board by emphasizing shared

governance and the UNC systems
involvement in decision making.
UNC-CH Chancellor Carol Folt
also released a recommendation on
Thursday, supporting the continuation of the Center on Poverty.
The decision to shut down any
centers should be in the hands
of chancellors and the Board of
Trustees, Cairns said. We want to
express our support for the Center of
Poverty.
But some faculty members
questioned whether the resolution
would make a difference once presented to the board.
If you want to accomplish your
goals, you have to wedge yourself in
to get to that goal, said physics and
astronomy professor Louise Dolan.
With this resolution, it sounds
like were not doing that. Were not

speaking out as much as we should.

Archaeology department chairman Vin Steponaitis said it is
necessary to send the resolution
regardless of the outcome.
Even though were not expecting
an answer, I think its really important to send a message (to the board)
that this is not the way to do things,
he said. Were not challenging
them. Were just telling them what
we think is a good idea to do.
In the interest of time, the committee might choose not to take a
vote from the Faculty Council in
order to present the resolution to
the board before it makes a final
decision on the status of the Center
on Poverty on Thursday and Friday.
During the meeting, Clare
Counihan, a program coordinator
at the Carolina Womens Center,
presented a proposal for improving

family care at the University. The

committee approved the proposal.
Counihan said improving family
care would promote female involvement in the arts and sciences and
retention among female faculty
members and graduate students.
Her proposal included a system
of simplifying family leave, spreading awareness of already existing
family care resources and increasing
the number of lactation rooms and
changing stations in the buildings.
She said current lactation rooms
are small, few and far between.
If there are students who are
attempting to go to school while
being a parent, they have nowhere
to go, she said. We want to send
a message that having a child isnt
like getting the plague.

After 7 years in office, Chapel

Hill Town Councilman Matt
Czajkowski will resign from the
council on March 30 to pursue service in Rwanda.
While he and his wife will move
to Rwanda, Czajkowski said his
heart will always be in Chapel Hill.
Were not leaving Chapel Hill,
Czajkowski said during the town
council meeting Monday, where he
announced his resignation. This is

Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt
thanked Czajkowski for his service
on the council. During his tenure,

at Chapel Hill Cemetery. He also
sat on the councils committee on
affordable housing.
Following Czajkowksis
announcement, the council discussed a special use permit and two
resolutions regarding The Edge, a
proposed development on Eubanks
Road which would include retail
spaces, housing and offices.
Although the council voted to
approve the special use permit,
many of the council members said
they felt aspects of the permit were
not specific enough.
Adam Golden, vice president of
development for Northwood Ravin,
the developer in charge of the proj-

ect, asked the council to approve the

special use permit and later decide
on two resolutions that would allow
development of the property.
One of the resolutions would
require the council to agree to
fund the development of roads for
the property.
Were negotiating with the
knowledge that if we cant come
to an agreement later, there will
be no development for five years,
Czajkowski said.
We know things are changing with the federal government
and funding, and five years is no
time in the life of a community.
Thats the only thing, honestly, that
makes me really uncomfortable,
Councilwoman Maria Palmer said.
Within five years of approval of the
special use permit, Northwood Ravin
would be required to pursue financial
approval for affordable housing.
I just feel like youre getting
some amount of certainty, but the
town isnt getting any, Councilman
George Cianciolo said.

Advertising executive lectures

on science and storytelling
By Carly Berkenblit
Staff Writer

Andrew Robertson, CEO of

the firm that represents brand
giants like Starbucks and
General Electric, sees a connection between neuroscience
and advertising.
As he spoke to a room
crowded with journalism
students Monday afternoon,
Robertson who is the
president and CEO of BBDO
Worldwide said the company takes a scientific approach
to its ads.
Dopamine is a highly
addictive chemical associated
with confidence and success.
And Robertson said he seeks
to mirror the effects of dopamine with advertising.
Advertisers at BBDO
have found that emotions
drive action, so they seek to
increase the production of
the chemicals that will bring
about a positive experience to
the viewer base.
Oxytocin is the molecule
of trust and love, Robertson
said. Oxytocin sells.
BBDO has found that its
most successful ads engage

both the dopaminergic system and the oxytocin system,

Robertson said.
He said campaigns built
on emotion created stronger
brands and businesses. BBDO
combines science and storytelling to get the emotional
response that is needed for
successful ads.
Senior Emma vanBree was
surprised at how scientific
everything was.
It boils down to a chemical reaction, she said. The
end result is known; (BBDO)
just needs to figure out how
to get there.
Robertson has been CEO of
BBDO Worldwide since 2004
and serves as the brains behind
commercial advertisements
that have been viewed millions
of times around the globe.
Robertson, who has a
degree in economics from
City University London,
said he learned a lot from
Charles Dickens.
Nobody was expecting
me to talk about Charles
Dickens, he said. Dickens
was probably one of the greatest storytellers of all time.
Robertson said he and his

company understand that a

successful ad can tell a story.
We did some work to find
out what the key elements
of great storytelling were for
(Dickens), but they applied just
as much to the immediate
future of advertising, he said.
The storytelling aspect
centers the focus of the ad
on an unforgettable character, who Robertson said
makes it memorable.
UNC senior Chris
Krolak said he came to see

Robertson speak because he

respects his work.

Its not about doing it
wrong. Its about doing it right,

Revisiting NCs lynching history

A new report details
racial violence in the
South through 1950.
By Marisa Bakker
Staff Writer

A non-profit human rights

group is taking a step back in
Americas history to explore
nearly 100 years of racial violence in southern states.
The Equal Justice
Initiative released a report
titled Lynching in America:
Confronting the Legacy
of Racial Terror in early
February. It catalogues the
legacy of lynching in the U.S.,
documenting more than
4,000 cases from 1877-1950.
The report details cases
from across 12 southern states,
including North Carolina, and
breaks down lynching cases per
county. While there were no
recorded lynchings in Orange
County, there were several in
neighboring counties, including Chatham and Alamance.
There were 102 lynchings
in North Carolina during that
period. Georgia had the most

total lynchings, with 586.

We documented more
lynchings than had ever previously been published in these
states, said John Dalton, staff
attorney for EJI. We issued
this report, as the title suggests, to confront our legacy of
terrorism in this country.
It explores the prevalence of
lynching, the social conditions
that made lynching possible
and the lingering effects of
racially motivated terrorism in
todays social landscape.
The report makes it clear
that a tradition that lasted
from the end of the Civil War
on up to the 1940s obviously had long tentacles that
extend to the present day, said
Fitzhugh Brundage, chairman
of UNCs history department.
There is value in taking
the conversation about the
legacy of lynching from an
abstract, general, national
concern and then targeting it
down and reminding people
in specific places that this
was not just history that happened somewhere, but in very
specific locations and communities, he said.
Violence against blacks

predates the Civil War,

but picked up in the
Reconstruction era. After
slavery was abolished, whites
lost the control they traditionally held over black populations, said Joseph Glatthaar,
professor of history at UNC.
In the aftermath of the
Civil War, whites used it to
terrorize black populations,
trying to restore control
through violence and intimidation, he said.
The post-Civil War era
was also one of the first times
white people met blacks in
the justice system as legal
equals.
There was widespread conviction that African-American
men in particular had turned
into uncontrollable, violent
criminals who posed a threat
to both property and white
lives, Brundage said.
There was a preference of
whites to deal with AfricanAmericans outside of the
justice system, where whites
could impose justice as they
saw fit, without having to
recognize the civil rights of
African-Americans, he said.
This history of racial ter-

rorism in the U.S. is directly

related to racial stereotypes
that persist today, said
William Ferris, professor of
American studies at UNC. He
compared the legacy of racial
violence to the Holocaust.
Does that continue to haunt
Jewish families? I think the
answer would be a resounding
yes when you have racial
trauma, that is something that
will never be forgotten.
Race is the Achilles heel
of our campus, our region and
our nation, and we are still
struggling to come to terms
with the legacy of slavery and
racial violence, which continues today, Ferris added.
Despite the heritage of racial
violence, Dalton said EJI is
hopeful their work on issues of
race and poverty can confront
the root problem of racism
the unaddressed history of
lynchings and violence.
I think a college campus
especially is a great place to
have moments of truth and
reconciliation, and really
address each persons legacy
and our legacy as a country.

Alvin Ailey returns for eighth CPA performance

By Gwendolyn Smith
Staff Writer

For dancer Hope Boykin,

performing at Memorial
Hall today with Alvin Ailey
American Dance Theater will
bring her passion full circle.
Boykin joined the company in 2000 and has since
toured the world, but the
Durham native said there
is something special about
performing in the Triangle
Area a place she considers
her home.
Theres a different kind of
love and respect that I find

performing here, Boykin said.

Chapel Hill will be the fifth
stop on the companys 18 city
national tour that began in
early February.
Mark Nelson, a spokesman
for Carolina Performing Arts,
said he is especially looking
forward to Alvin Aileys performance.
Theyre an American
global institute thats the best
at what they do, Nelson said.
Having access to these artists that are only traveling to
major cities is an opportunity
of a lifetime.
The company has per-

formed at Memorial Hall

annually for eight years and
has developed a close relationship with CPA.
We get to interact with
them at rehearsals, Nelson
said. Theyre a phenomenal
group of people that are
incredibly talented.
Freshman Tiana Petree,
who studied Alvin Ailey and
his legacy last semester as a
part of a seminar of American
studies, AMST 390, said she
is also looking forward to the
companys performances.

Paige, Tokoto gear up for NC State

The No. 15 mens basketball
team won the last matchup.
By Daniel Wilco
Senior Writer

Marcus Paige might just love PNC

Arena.
N.C. States home court is so kind
to the junior guard that Coach Roy
Williams has asked if Paige would like to
play every home game there in Raleigh.
Unless the ACC grants that request in
the next few hours, North Carolina and
N.C. State will face off for the second time
this season in Chapel Hill tonight.
Thats not a bad thing for Paige,
though.
In five games against the Wolfpack,
Paige has averaged 18.8 points per game
while shooting 44 percent. Against
everyone else, he drops 12.7 points,
making 40 percent of his attempts.
Even this year, drawing more focus
than ever before, Paige tallied 23 points
in the two teams first matchup, which
UNC won 81-79.
This year, hes even got more of the
defensive attention and the shot hasnt
fallen in quite as much, Williams said.
But I think hes played so well, its hard
to imagine anyone being able to do
more with what hes been able to get.
And what he gets against N.C. State
is something special. But why?
Is it his pregame meal? Or playlist?
He goes out every night trying
to give it his best, give it his all, J.P.
Tokoto said Monday. It may be something against State that he just feels.
Hopefully that is the case and
tomorrow hes feeling it.
If hes not, though, that shouldnt be
a problem.
Williams calls Paige naturally one of
the best leaders that Ive been around.
Its something the coach has pushed
Paige towards since the first day the
wide-eyed, teenaged guard took the
helm his freshman year.

But that leadership has led the humble Paige to direct any and all blame
towards himself.
Williams has had to remind his
guard that just as wins arent achieved
solely through one players efforts,
losses are a teams doing as well.
Though hes shown his proficiency
at it, Paige is not the only one who can
lead this team.
Thats where Tokoto comes in, usually at 100 miles per hour, on a bee line
for the moon.
The junior swingman has strayed
from his high-flying, statement-making
play in recent games, but rest assured,
thats over with.
I definitely got away from that, just
settling for jump shots, he said. To get
to the rim more, to be more aggressive,
I feel like that helps our team more.
It was a put-back slam at Duke that
spurred a Tar Heel run, and a 180 jam
that gave UNC its first lead of the night,
though it eventually fell in overtime.
It was a gutsy dunk from the free
throw line against Georgia Tech that set
the tone for the rest of the game, which
culminated in UNCs largest margin of
victory since Dec. 27 against UAB.
Tonight, Tokotos gravity-defying
efforts would be a welcome sight for his
team, and so would Paiges proof that
a five-game statistical line against N.C.
State is no fluke.
Does his coach see anything different in Paiges eyes before he faces the
Wolfpack? Does he expect to see it
tonight?
Im not saying a word, Williams
said, all but knocking on wood.
Tokoto, however, was a bit less
superstitious.
Hes going to have a great game
tomorrow night. I can feel it.

Education ocials seek Common Core feedback

By Anica Midthun
Staff Writer

As North Carolina continues to review the controversial K-12 education standards

known as the Common Core,
state education officials have
launched a new effort to gather feedback on the program.
It is not the first survey released by the N.C.
Department of Public
Instruction addressing the
Common Core. The department launched its first survey
in October and gathered
responses through December,
targeting teachers and how
they felt about the standards.

It received over 8,000

results from educators, said
Robin McCoy, director of K-12
curriculum and technology for
the department.
There is a general dissatisfaction with (Common Core)
that comes from all different
places, said Terry Stoops,
director of education studies at the right-leaning John
Locke Foundation.
Stoops said there is concern
from parents who are not
satisfied with the activities
and teachers who think the
Common Core standards are
too difficult for each grade.
Forty-three states have
adopted the standards,

although many states are

pushing back against the federal program.
Both Stoops and McCoy
said math has been the most
problematic area within the
Common Core.
The discontent with math
leads to most people expressing
a need for change, Stoops said.
McCoy said most of the
concern comes from whether
or not the standards are
appropriate for the age group
and the way in which they are
being implemented.
When looking at the results
from the survey, you find that
theyre not so much upset by
the standards themselves but

the instruction to meet the

standard, McCoy said.
The new survey is split
into two different categories:
English and mathematics,
which are then split into subcategories by grade level.
It is designed to give people
a chance to provide feedback
that applies to their own children, making it more relevant.
The survey provides the
standards for the subject and
then asks for written feedback
on whether the standard seems
relevant and is appropriate.
McCoy said the school
districts determine how they
want to meet the standards.
They choose the textbooks,

projects and activities that the

students use, while Common
Core decides what students
should know at the end of the
school year.
This survey is part of a
policy by the Department of
Public Instruction to look at its
K-12 education standards and
review them every five years.
The results of the survey will
be released to a revision board.
McCoy said action will be
made to correct the Common
Core if necessary.
It is a long process to
change, but the feedback is so
important.

studying doesnt have the

money to hire their own lawyers? he said.
Brian Balfour, policy director at the right-leaning Civitas
Institute, said he thinks the
review of the centers was a
way to improve universities
efficiency. He said the idea the
review is ideologically based
does not seem sensible considering the board had to evaluate
more than 200 centers.
But Tamar Birckhead, director of clinical programs at the

law school and an author of

the schools original statement,
said closing the poverty center
will harm both law students
and marginalized people.
Birckhead also disputes
claims that the Center for
Civil Rights is not an academic center due to its advocacy.
The idea that the Center for
Civil Rights is not an academic
center because it engages in
advocacy reveals a complete
lack of understanding for what
legal education is about, she

said. We are training students

to be advocates, and in order
to do that, they learn through
experiential learning.
Birckhead said she hopes
the Board of Governors will
oppose the working groups
recommendations at its meeting on Thursday and Friday.
At the very least, these
threats by the working group
of the Board of Governors can
and will likely have a chilling
effect, she said. People will
be afraid to continue to teach

and to publish and to use

their email to engage in what
are academic pursuits.
Nichol said in an email
Monday that hes proud to
be part of such a supportive
law school faculty and
he particularly appreciated
that Boger, the schools dean,
signed the statement.
In this atmosphere, thats
a remarkable act of moral
courage, Nichol said.

render a scene safe and then

render the naloxone, then its
a win-win situation, he said.
Stacy Shelp, spokeswoman
for Orange County Health
Department, said the department does not see a lot of drug
overdoses in Orange County.
We have a 300 percent
increase in overdose deaths
since 1999, and that sounds
like a lot, but thats only

because the number was

small to begin with, she said.
The Orange County Health
Department is the first health
department in the state to
administer naloxone prescriptions and has administered two
kits since it began prescribing
naloxone in 2014. Naloxone
kits are free for patients.
The drug is administered
to patients who are pre-

scribed opioid drugs or abuse

opioid drugs. Naloxone is also
distributed to family members of these patients.
Lt. Josh Mecimore, Chapel
Hill Police Department spokesman, said the department is
finalizing the paperwork necessary to begin implementing
naloxone. All patrol officers
and supervisors are trained
in the use of naloxone, which

includes about 70 employees.

Mecimore said the police
department is typically the
first unit on scene for overdose incidents.
The ability to save lives
in those situations is measured in seconds, he said.
Naloxone requires minimal
training and expertise but
could very easily save lives.

Report: NC public Ghost bikes honor those killed

health lags behind
Staff Writer

A recent study shows North

Carolina is falling behind other
states in preventing tobacco
use, on top of having a large
number of residents with poor
nutrition, low physical activity
rates and obesity.
Rachel Zucker, a research
fellow at Prevention Partners,
a nonprofit that published the
study, said the states tobacco
prevention policies have
stagnated, compared with
increases in other states.
As time passes, if we
havent done much to improve
in tobacco, the status quo
doesnt keep us at the same
place, she said.
North Carolinas smoking
rate of 20.2 percent is slightly
higher than the national rate of
19 percent, and 60 percent of
in-state smokers are trying to
quit, which is markedly higher
than the national average.
Adam Goldstein, a professor at UNCs medical school,
said while tobacco users have
become more aware of the dangers of cigarettes, the landscape
of tobacco use is changing.
As we really focus on predominantly cigarettes, what
we discover is that the tobacco industry markets all sorts
of other products increasingly
aggressively to at-risk individuals, Goldstein said.
He said hookah and cigars
are becoming increasingly popular, although cigars have also
been shown to significantly
increase the risk of cancer.
Goldstein said excise taxes,
clean indoor-air policies and
phone hotlines are among the
most effective ways of curbing

smoking rates.
The quit lines, Goldstein
said, are helpful because they
are accessible and allow smokers to contact professionals
who can develop a plan to quit,
or provide aids like nicotine
patches. He estimated that
counseling and medication can
increase quit-smoking rates by
two or three times.
For most people, quitting
isnt necessarily the hardest part; it is staying quit,
Goldstein said.
North Carolina invests $1.14
per smoker in QuitlineNC,
which is less than 11 percent of
the Centers for Disease Control
and Preventions recommended amount of $10.53.
The state also suffers from
unhealthy eating and a lack
of physical activity. Two out
of every three adults are

school students are either

obese or overweight.
Zucker said obesity rates
are closely tied to lack of
physical activity and poor
nutrition. The report card
found that just 12.3 percent
of adult North Carolinians
eat at least five daily servings
of fruit and vegetables, the
recommended amount.
UNC public health professor Laura Linnan said
improving North Carolinas
statewide bill of health calls
for a multifaceted approach.
Laws alone are not enough,
information is not enough,
access to programming is not
enough by itself, she said.
It is really all of those
together creating a healthy
social and physical environment and a supportive environment for making healthy
changes.

Tagged, chained and painted white all over, Chapel Hills

ghost bikes loom over those
who would otherwise overlook
the presence of the towns
small cyclist community.
On Sept. 19, 2013, the bodies of two cyclists were found
on U.S. Highway 15-501. A
hit-and-run driver struck
and killed Ivin Scurlock, 41,
of Carrboro and Alexandria
Simou, 40, of Chapel Hill.
Since then, on that same
highway, drivers might have
noticed two ghost bikes
marked with the names of the
victims and decorated with
flowers in the grassy median
near where they were found.
These bikes serve as memorials
and reminders of the threats
cyclists face on town streets.
When you pit cars against
a bicyclist, the cyclist is always
going to lose, said Chapel Hill
resident Nancy Oates, owner of
Nancy Oates & Co. The ghost
bikes are poignant symbols
that will hopefully force drivers
to remember that bikers need
to be paid attention to.
Ghost bikes are a tradition
in the biking community.
Jason Merrill, an owner of
Carrboros Back Alley Bikes,
said although the individuals
who construct these memorials are anonymous, they are
most likely members of Chapel
Hills cyclist community.
In this town, the odds
you know someone who was
involved in these types of accidents are high, Merrill said.

For the Kids to raise $25K in 25 hours

The money will help
pay for the groups
proposed clinic.
By Sarah Thomas
Staff Writer

Making $25,000 in a year

would be impressive for most
college kids but Carolina
For The Kids Foundation,
the group formerly known as
UNC Dance Marathon, will
try to raise it in a little more
than a day.
Carolina for the Kids
is conducting a 25-hour
marathon of events at UNC
from 8 p.m. today to 9 p.m.
Wednesday in hopes of raising $25,000 in 25 hours.
The 25 hours are packed
with activity. Beginning at
the UNC vs. N.C. State basketball game today, there will
be buckets for donations,
said publicity chairman
Brendan Leonard.
On Wednesday, there will
be pictures with Rameses at
the Old Well from noon to 3
p.m., a merchandise sale in
the pit from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
and a Pie a Campus Leader
event, in which campus leaders will have pies thrown in
their faces for donations,
Leonard said.
The money will go to programs that alleviate strain on
pediatric patients and their
families and to help build a
new pediatric clinic.
Its going to be really
exciting to see the number
go up throughout the day,
said Chelsea Krivanek,
fundraising projects chairwoman. Each time we get
a donation, we are helping
another family.
This event follows a
single-day fundraising trend
throughout the country with
other Dance Marathon organizations, Leonard said.
The $25,000 goal was set
because of the size of UNCs
organization. Carolina For
The Kids also wanted to be
congruous with $25,000 in
25 hours ending on February
25, Krivanek said.
During the 2013-14 academic year, Dance Marathon
raised $551,595.87 through
its different fundraisers
throughout the year.
There are corporate
sponsors as well as local
businesses with change jars
to help raise money, said
executive director Evan
Sherwood. Committee members are also going to go
door-to-door for donations
Wednesday.
Every single part of our

organization is being leveraged on this day. Weve

never done something like
this before, Sherwood said.
Its cool to watch it all come
together.
The funds from the event
will go into Carolina for the
Kids total for the year.
They will be divvied up
among the For the Kids
fund, which helps families
of pediatric patients with
expenses not covered by
insurance; the Parents
Night Out fund, which gives
families a healthy meal in
the hospital on Tuesdays;
and a fund that will go
toward the foundations
$2.5 million pledge towards
a new pediatric clinic,

Weve never done something like this before.

Its cool to watch it all come together.
Evan Sherwood,

Riding down streets most

cars will give you space, but
there are always those that dont
pay much attention to you and
youll be riding with your heart
in your throat, Oates said.
Bicycle accidents are more
likely in high-traffic urban
areas, said James Gallagher,
a spokesman for Watch For
Me N.C.
Watch for Me N.C. is a
campaign that seeks to educate drivers, pedestrians and
cyclists on the rules of the road
and work with law enforcers to crack down on traffic
safety violations. He said most
cyclists and motorists are not
aware of the laws of the road.
Cyclists have legal access
to the road just as any other
driver but they are also subject
to all of the same rules as drivers, Gallagher said. The campaigns goal is to reduce crashes
that can result from this type of
misinformation. Everyone can
do more and do better.

Three ghost bikes have
been placed in Chapel Hill to
remember the victims of the
three driver-caused cyclist
fatalities that have occurred
since 2013. The third is located on Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard in honor of Pamela
Lane, 57, a Chapel Hill cyclist
who was killed in an accident
in October.
North Carolina has the
countrys ninth highest rate
of bicyclist and pedestrian
fatalities, according to the
Alliance for Biking and
Walkings 2014 report.
Oates, who often rode
bikes with her husband, said
certain streets in Chapel Hill,
such as Martin Luther King
Jr. Boulevard and Estes Drive,
are more dangerous than others as drivers often do not pay
attention to bike lanes or give
cyclists room on the road.
Oates said she and her husband had stopped biking after
her husband was involved in an
accident that left him injured.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Need to play at Carmichael again. We never

sat down, yelled ourselves hoarse and sweated our heads off!

Alice Wilder

couldnt keep my head in

the classroom. By the end
of each day I felt totally
drained and anxious. Normally
Id sit near the front and
attempt to answer en espanol.
But for two weeks, Id forget
simple vocabulary when called
on and barely finished my
homework each night. I could
tell my professor was confused
by this change in my work.
This is the time in the semester when something similar
happens to many of us. Theres
no longer a rosy start-of-thesemester glow, and personal
things start to build up. Its so
cold that theres no longer any
reason to consider leaving your
dorm. You start drinking coffee
at 6 p.m. and the employees at
Alpine are seriously worried
about your late night coffee consumption. Youve learned the
names of each Wendys employee who works after midnight.
With the academic slippage
comes the worry that professors think youre a slacker.
That good, old-fashioned UNC
insecurity comes in do I
really deserve to go here? Am
I just lazy? Do my professors take my inattention as
an insult? Fortunately, these
questions are answerable.
Our professors are people
too. Last January, when
my grandfather died of
Alzheimers, I had to miss
class for his funeral. I was
worried professors would
laugh it off as another dead
grandparent excuse. But
I emailed them anyway,
explaining the situation.
Several professors responded
to extend their condolences
and share similar stories.
If youre feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious,
take a chance and talk to your
professors about it. Sure, they
might give you a curt response
or say something rude. But
please: Dont assume that thats
the only outcome. Talking to
your professors about hardship
is the best way to turn a semester around, especially considering how much of our validation
as students comes from how we
think our professors perceive us.
Maybe that professor has
battled depression too. Maybe
that professor has dealt with a
learning disability. Maybe he
or she has dealt with addiction and understands the difficulty of recovery.
Back to Spanish class last
semester. I eventually got up
the courage to go to my professors office hours.
I know Ive been slipping
these past two weeks, I told
him. Its not that I dont care
about your class I do. Ive
been having a really hard time
at UNC lately.
I didnt get into the details
with him the struggles
with adjusting to the maledominated culture at UNC or
how I wondered if Id ever feel
safe here. I just told him I was
having a tough time, but that I
cared about his class.
He told me that he had
noticed a change in me and was
glad Id come to him. He said
he understood and asked if I
needed anything. He didnt give
me any special treatment, but

Beyond the minimum

The fight for
living wages must
be waged locally.

fter about two

years of workers
protests for safer
working conditions and
higher wages, including
a mass strike on Black
Friday that spanned across
1,600 stores in 2014, WalMart has announced a
raise to its base wages to
employees by 2016. The
average full-time wage will
rise to $13 an hour, and
part-time to at least $10,
well above the $7.25 federal minimum wage.
To be able to provide
for the essential needs of

oneself and ones family

with full-time work is a
human right. The varied
interests represented by
student activist groups on
campus should be united
on this front and expand
efforts toward this end
beyond the boundaries of
our campus community.
This grassroots success
with Wal-Mart is reminiscent of protests at Lenoir
Hall, in the late 1960s.
Food workers teamed up
with the Black Student
Movement to strike for
higher pay and better treatment. Their efforts eventually succeeded after negotiations with the University
and SAGA Food Service.
In the declaration

released by the organizing

force partly responsible for
this most recent pay raise,
workers demanded wages
and benefits that cover their
basic needs without having to rely on government
assistance, or a living
wage. While the lower end
of hourly wages at $10 is
short of Chapel Hills living
wage of $12.53 per hour, a
base pay raise for half a million workers is a significant
positive step forward for
Wal-Mart and a victory for
protesters.
We should support WalMart workers, fast food
workers and others who
continue struggling to live
on pay that falls short of
living wages.

EDITORIAL

Burnt at both ends

Duke Energy is
exploiting a broken
political system.

he Supreme Courts
2010 Citizens
United decision
has allowed the previously
unimaginable commodification of free speech by
including donations to
political action committees
in its definition.
Unsurprisingly, thirdparty organizations that
electioneer for and lobby
the members of the North
Carolina General Assembly
have taken advantage.
Among these is Duke

Energy, which the Institute

for Southern Studies
named the top Tar Heel
power broker in their
report released this month.
Being a named a power
broker merits no admiration. Duke Energy has not
only egregiously downplayed the environmental
effects of its 2014 coal ash
spill but also contributed
$944,250 to state-level
candidates, party PACs and
an independent political
spending group in the 2012
and 2014 election cycles.
The legislative consequences are stunning. The
Coal Ash Management Act
of 2014, which became law

in September, forces Duke

to remove the contaminant
from only four of its 14
plants in the next five years.
As of Feb. 6, not a single
truckload of ash has been
removed.
On Friday, the
Department of Justice filed
criminal charges against
three Duke subsidiaries.
The maximum possible fine
is $200,000. Dukes 2013
earnings were $2.7 billion.
While the federal intervention should be welcomed,
the political structure that
continues to allow companies such as Duke to pervert the democratic process
should not be overlooked.

TO THE EDITOR:
Chancellor Carol Folts
email last week regarding
the closing of the UNC
Poverty Center reads like a
concession speech: Its too
bad the Center on Poverty,
Work and Opportunity
has to close down, the
Board of Governors has
spoken after all.
We share the disappointment of the chancellor and
the provost that the BOG
working group recommended that the poverty
center be closed. And we
are glad that, in their
words, they recommended
against the working groups
recommendation.
But we are wondering
why our chancellor and
provost, if they are so very
disappointed, dont just
use the authority granted
them to keep the Poverty
Center open to say nothing of protecting our campus from censorship.
The Appropriations Act
of 2014 the purported
impetus for this working
group empowered the
Board of Governors and
the campuses to consider reducing state funds
for centers and institutes,
speaker series and other
nonacademic activities by
up to 15 million dollars to
redistribute those funds to
distinguished professorships and the strategic plan.
Nothing there about closing
centers for any reason.
The Board of Governors,
it turns out, already has
a policy regarding the
regulation of centers within
constituent campuses
though you couldnt tell
from how its acting lately.
Chapter 400.5(R) of the
UNC Policy Manual says,
Full authority for the
oversight of institutional
centers and institutes rests
at the campus level, including establishment, management and discontinuation.
Section 5 of that chapter
covers discontinuation
specifically, providing that
the process for discontinuation of centers be found in
campus-level policies.
UNC-Chapel Hill has
developed specific procedures for closing centers on
our campus. And you can
find those on the provosts
website. They are entitled,
plainly enough, Policies
and Procedures Governing
Centers and Institutes.
They describe who approves
discontinuation of centers
the executive vice chancellor,
the provost and, ultimately,
the chancellor.
You see, the recommendations are just that recommendations. The BOG
does not have the authority
to close the centers in this
way. The chancellor does.
Chancellor Folt: A recent
Daily Tar Heel editorial
asked what you really think
about the most important
issues facing the University
community. We call on you
to show us where you stand
when it comes to academic
freedom and BOG overreach. We recommend that

you follow your own policy,

or, better yet, say that as
chancellor, you refuse to
close the Poverty Center on
the grounds of academic
freedom. You can do otherwise, but thats just the
nature of recommendations.

Murray misidentified
in article unfairly
TO THE EDITOR:
Regarding the Feb. 20
front-page report on the
history of buildings, monuments and markers, I was
deeply disappointed that this
account incorrectly identified the namesake of Murray
Hall, one of our newest
buildings on campus.
Murray Hall is named for
Dr. Royce Murray, Kenan
professor of chemistry
and one of Carolinas most
distinguished faculty members. Murray Hall is part
of the Carolina Physical
Science Complex and was
dedicated on University
Day in 2010 along with its
companion building, the
new Venable Hall.
It is personally important to me, as Dr. Murray
was my undergraduate
research advisor and played
an instrumental role in
guiding my academic pursuits and later success in
private industry.
I owe him a great deal, as
does the entire University
community, for his significant contributions as a
faculty member here since
1960. He is a giant in the
field of chemistry and richly
deserved the honor of having
a building named for him.

Chairman

JV games a pre-game
tradition for die-hards
TO THE EDITOR:
Your Feb. 11 editorial,
Upping the ante, overlooked an already incredibly playful fanaticism that
can and does get the students who attend the games
into a state of frenzy.
Before every home game
at the Dean Dome, hours
before the main event, we
get to watch one of the only
junior varsity basketball programs in the country. Phase
one ticket holders stand in
the risers and cheer them
on. It is an amazing thing
for both spectators and the
athletes who have worked so
hard to make the JV team.
Instead of suggesting
that we need to create a
new physical manifestation to compete with
K-ville, encourage all of the
students to get to the Dean
Dome as early as possible to
support the JV team.
The JV program is one of
the many legacies left here
by the great Dean Smith.
Going to support this great
program has the ability to
make the hype of K-ville
seem obsolete. And whats
the only thing better than
seeing UNC win? Seeing
UNC win twice.
