Embody working to move LFIT away from numbers

By Anyssa Reddix
Senior Writer

For Colleen Daly and other students who

have struggled with eating disorders, the
lifetime fitness foundation class, known as
LFIT, is more than a typical freshman general education requirement.
I actually consider the LFIT class as my
primary trigger, Daly said. There were a
myriad of factors. All of those factors came
to a pinnacle when they asked me to record
my calories for a week.
The nutrition lab has students keep track
of what they eat and their exercise for a week
on the app, MyFitnessPal. At the end of the
unit, students print out their results and
turn it into their teaching assistant.
The lab activity is never meant to be a
calorie counter, said Becca Battaglini, director of the Lifetime Fitness and Physical

Activity programs. The goal behind it is to

kind of give them the bigger picture of their
overall nutrition.
But Daly, who graduated in 2013, felt
the LFIT activity wasnt designed in a
healthy manner.
For me, it became a game it became
how low can I get this deficit, and that really
became unhealthy, Daly said. I never thought
I had an eating disorder. I didnt understand
truly what an eating disorder was.

It focuses on numbers
Embody Carolina, a subcommittee of the
Campus Y that trains friends of those dealing with eating disorders, has begun working with the Lifetime Fitness and Physical
Activity programs by changing the way the
course talks about and teaches nutrition.
The main problem that we have with it is

that it really focuses on numbers, said Sarah

Leck, Embody Carolina co-chairwoman. Its
not about choosing foods that are good for
you or eating food when youre hungry or
having a good relationship with food.
Leck, who leads the Embody Carolina
team aiming to change the LFIT curriculum, said the MyFitnessPal activity puts too
much emphasis on tracking calories and not
enough on holistic nutrition.
It creates a really overly warped view of
how your relationship with food should be,
Leck said. A relationship with food that is
healthy is more than numbers.
For those who live with eating disorders,
it often began with a diet, she said.
It can bring up stuff for students who
are struggling. If you eat X amount of calories, you shouldnt have to work out for X

Dean candidates begin forum series

William Easterling is a UNC
alumnus and dean at Penn State.
By Bradley Saacks
Director of Enterprise

William Easterling has been published

by more than 80 scientific journals, testified
before Congress on climate change and has
served as dean at Penn State University for
nearly a decade but it still took a pep talk
from his wife to feel confident about speaking
at his open forum.
She said, Come on Easterling, this is the
closest thing youll have to a home-court
advantage as an external candidate, he said.
Easterling, a UNC alumnus whose mother
still lives in the area, is one of the five finalists to replace Karen Gil as the dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences. More than 70

faculty members and University officials

attended his open forum.
Easterling broke down his plan for growing the college in three phases: recruiting and
retaining faculty; reinvesting in the research
mission; and celebrating and strengthening
the arts, sciences and humanities.
Easterling, the current dean of the College
of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State,
stressed the importance of faculty research,
academic freedom and retention.
Students are our ambassadors, but the
faculty are the ones who bring the accolades
and recognition, he said, standing in front of
a projection screen that read, the faculty are
THE universitys reputation.
He said in an interview after the forum that
academic freedom is not always understood.
I see it as the job of an academic leader,

Jeb Bush pays a visit to NC, reveals tax plan

Bushs plan would
lower taxes and
increase the tax base.
By Benji Schwartz
Assistant State & National Editor

Republican presidential
candidate Jeb Bush revealed
his tax plan on Wednesday in a
somewhat unlikely location
an industrial cooling plant in
Garner, N.C.
Morris & Associates, which

cools products ranging from poultry to nuclear power plants, would

benefit immensely from Bushs
tax plan, Bush told attendees.
My plan will make it easier
for a business ... to buy more
equipment, hire more workers
and increase wages, he said.
Precisely what you all deserve,
and precisely what it takes to
grow our economy.
Bushs plan focuses mainly
on supply-side economics, said
Mitch Kokai, a policy analyst
for the right-leaning John
Locke Foundation.

The key piece of what you get

out of Jeb Bushs plan is hes telling people who support supplyside tax cuts to boost economic
growth is, Hey, Im on board
with you, he said.
Ben Casselman, chief economics writer for the polling analysis
group FiveThirtyEight, summarized in an article that the plan
would include reducing the number of income tax brackets
meaning there will only be three
levels of income tax compared
with the current seven.
He also said the plan would

expand the earned income tax

credit, a tax credit aimed at providing tax relief to the working
poor, and cut corporate taxes.
Bushs tax policy is part of the
plan he proposed to increase U.S.
gross domestic product growth
which places a numerical figure on economic growth.
At 2 percent, we stay where
we are, with millions on the sidelines falling behind, Bush said.
At 4 percent, we grow at a pace
that lifts up everybody, and there

Serene Majid, a junior, thought moving

into her first apartment would be exciting, but
instead of walking into a dream, she said she
walked into a nightmare.
Majid moved into Chapel Ridge at the beginning of the school year and said she was shocked
by the disrepair she found. Instead of a fresh,
clean apartment, she said her roommates and she
were greeted by dirty carpets, a balcony littered
with trash and a leaky fridge of expired foods.
I was like, You couldnt have told us earlier
that wed be moving into a dirty apartment?
because obviously that would have changed my
opinion on if I wanted to live here or not, she said.
But Majid and several residents said their
concerns with the Chapel Ridge management
team only got worse as requests for maintenance seemingly fell on deaf ears.
I emailed the general manager, and she
knew about what was happening, and she never
replied to me, she said. We went to the office,
and she saw us waiting, and she said she was
doing something else.
Now the management company has intervened.
Shawn Regan is a regional supervisor with
Asset Campus Housing, the company that owns
Chapel Ridge and other student housing properties nationwide. He said once his team realized
the propertys issues, they immediately took steps
to combat them, starting with management.
Last week, Katie Grout replaced the former
property manager, Kayla Stout. Grout said the
similarity in their names can be confusing for
residents.
Majid recalled one exchange before Grout
took over when her roommate was told there was
little point in sending a cleaning crew since the
apartment would just be dirty again the next day.
But dirt was not Majid and her roommates
only problem. Their fridge began leaking black
liquids, and soon after, the wood paneling under
their cabinets fell off, according to Majids
roommate Kristin Nelson.
It just fell off because it was so wet, and
there was all this black dirt everywhere on it
and on the fridge, Nelson said. At first, the
maintenance portal wasnt working, so we told
them about it. And now the maintenance portal
is working, so I submitted a work order over a
week ago, and they still havent gotten to it.
Caitlyn Adams, a sophomore, was also upset
when she moved into her new apartment.
Adams said the apartment was such a wreck she
and her roommates had to live in the complexs
model apartment for the first week of class.
On the Friday of the first week (of class),
we were able to actually move in, and it was a
thousand times better, Adams said. They had
redone the carpets, and we had new beds not
all new furniture but new beds because the
old ones were all very broken. But our stove was
still not working, and it took three days for anyone to get back with us.
Adams said once the stove was fixed, the
apartments air conditioner broke just days later.
That was kind of miserable, and in one of
our rooms the fan cant go on high because it
wobbles so badly, she said. So it took two days
to get it fixed, and then about four or five days
later, it broke again.
Adams recalled one staff member telling her
maintenance could not fix the air conditioner
unless it was a certain temperature outside.
Adams said the most upsetting part is that she
and roommates never understood why their
requests were never being heard.
Grout said customer service is her number one
priority, and within her first week, she said she
has been able to address more than 90 percent of
all complaints as soon as they enter her office.
Adding to Grouts comment, Regan said in
an emailed statement, We are deeply engaged
in ensuring management is responsive and will
continue to help provide the resources necessary
to achieve that goal.
Adams said she and her roommates have
already seen a dramatic change since Grout has
taken over at Chapel Ridge.
Im really looking forward to whats coming next, like getting these things fixed, Adams
said. I know who to talk to, and I know she will
call me back.

What Selena Gomez teaches us about breakups

By Sam Sabin
Director of Investigations

When Im feeling anxious

about being back in Chapel
Hill, I ask myself, What
would Selena Gomez do?
I get it. Beyonc is flawless.
Taylor Swift is problematic
but a teen idol. And we should
all aspire to be as assertive
as Nicki Minaj. Sometimes,
when Im thinking of new
ways for the I-Team to investigate UNCs academic scandal,
I think about writing the UNC
administration an email that
says, Carol, whats good? just
to see what happens. Trust me,
I know how important these

goddesses are.
But Selena gets me. Were
not best friends (yet), but if
we were we would be the type
of friends who would stay up
all night silently checking our
Twitter feeds and emails next
to each other at a sleepover.
Ask me about something
seemingly personal about my
life, and Ill give you all of the
details. Im not embarrassed
easily (but I am a likely target for identity theft). I love
Selena because I think shes
the same way.

Confederate ag
tied on Sams eyes
Statue has historically been a source
of expression, UNC spokesman says
By Hannah Smoot
Assistant University Editor

DTH/BRADLEY SAACKS
The Silent Sam statue in McCorkle Place was blindfolded with a Confederate battle flag some time
between Tuesday night and midmorning Wednesday. The statue was spray-painted in August and July.

For the third time in as

many months, the Silent Sam
statue on McCorkle Place
looked a little different.
The statue was blindfolded with a Confederate
battle flag sometime
between Tuesday night and
midmorning Wednesday.
The Confederate memorial
was tagged with spray paint
reading, black lives matter, and, Who is Sandra
Bland?, respectively, on
two separate occasions in
July and August. The spraypainting referred to Sandra
Bland, a black woman who
died in police custody in
Texas in July.
Shortly after the spraypainting of the statue in
August, the University
announced the formation
of a task force to examine
Silent Sam and other racially
charged campus fixtures.
Randy Young, the spokesman for the Department
of Public Safety, said the
department was not treating the hanging of the

Confederate battle flag as a

criminal incident.
There was no damage to
real property or defacement,
Young said. So we reported
and looked into it.
He said they received a call
reporting the incident shortly
after noon.
Were not investigating
it because its noncriminal,
Young said.
Chelsea Douglas, a sophomore transfer student from
New York, said she had
never seen a Confederate
flag in person before coming
to the South.
The first time I was in
North Carolina was the first
time I saw a Confederate
flag, and that was just so
wild, she said.
Douglas said the presence
of a Confederate monument
was not surprising.
Were in North Carolina,
she said. I expect this.
Erinn Crider, a junior,
said she didnt think spraypainting or changing the
monument was the right way
to send a message.
I can absolutely understand why people find Silent

Sam offensive, she said. I

think that vandalizing it in
any way is an inappropriate
way to handle harsh emotions
in the situation.
I think it calls for commentary and understanding on
both sides, both for the appreciation of history, but also the
appreciation of the struggle
that people experienced.
Though Julia Whitfield, a
junior, said she understood
some people disagree with
the method, she respects the
message.
I know some people think
its kind of disrespectful to
paint on monuments like
that, she said.
I guess it kind of is, but if
standing in the Pit isnt going
to get someones attention, I
guess people feel youve got
to do something else to get
peoples attention.
Jim Gregory, a spokesman
for the University, said the
statue has had a controversial
history.
This has historically been
a source of expression for
people, he said.

Former governors discuss education reform

The duo called for
students to improve
education equality.
By Corey Risinger
Assistant State and National Editor

Before an audience that

included many recognizable
faces at UNC, two giants in
the field of education reform
shared their thoughts on
unequal education policies
following a documentary
screening in the FedEx Global
Education Center.

The event Wednesday night

honored former Mississippi
Gov. William Winter
renowned for his work in
racial reconciliation and education with the screening of
The Toughest Job: William
Winters Mississippi.
Jesse White, adjunct professor at the UNC School of
Government, framed the documentarys events in the context
of the civil rights movement.
To students, this may
seem like the Paleolithic Age,
he said.
As the night continued,
attendees like UNC senior

Rebeka Johnson said she saw

the films present value.
Winters story is one of perseverance, enduring racially
charged politics and two lost
gubernatorial races before taking office as governor in 1980.
The film depicts Winters
fight for universal access to
quality education and racial
equality in the only state
that then lacked compulsory
education.
After the film, Winter and
former N.C. Gov. Jim Hunt
sat down to discuss their
takeaways from decades in
education policy.

They called upon students

to become engaged in the
political world to make an
institutional difference.
I hope you will not give
up on our generation,
Winter said. I hope you say,
were going to straighten up
all the problems made by
(my) generation.
Hunt challenged students
not to fear the messiness of
politics.
Let me tell you one thing,
folks: Its a tough game, he
said. Are you willing to let
education public education
go down the drain? Im

going to fight.
Both governors spoke to
what they described to be a
resegregation of the public
school system.
One school in Jackson,
Miss., Winter said, is 98 percent African-American.
We live in a desegregated
world, (but) were still educating our kids in a segregated
world, he said.
Hunt drew attention to the
potential N.C. private school
vouchers having a divisive
effect on public schools.
But Michael Jones, a UNC
law student, said the gover-

nors emphasis on democracy

inspired an end to the resegregation of schools.
We always have the power
to change that, and that power
comes from the conversations
that we can have, he said.
Winter said an understanding of the issue can be
this generations first step to
improving the education system and the state.
Its a matter of awareness
on the parts of us that we
cannot just live our individual
lives, he said.

North Carolina kicker Nick Weiler (24) makes a field goal attempt during the Sept. 3 game against the University of South Carolina.

Nick Weiler brings confident approach to kicking game

The Tar Heels failed to make
a field goal of more than
30 yards during 2014.
By Pat James
Sports Editor

Much like in golf, a place kickers

swing depends on his form. And in
order to maintain a consistent swing,
confidence is key.
Just ask North Carolinas Nick Weiler.
(Confidence) is pretty big, said the
junior place kicker after Wednesdays
practice. Its just like golf if you feel
good about your swing, youre going to
have a good swing.
Coming off of a rough 2014 season
when he made only five of his eight field
goal attempts, Weiler says his swing
and self-assurance werent where they
needed to be.
But after working all offseason to
improve both, Weilers efforts paid off in
a big way during UNCs season-opening
loss to South Carolina, when he drilled

two field goals of over 30 yards.

The Tar Heels failed to convert a
field goal attempt from more than 30
yards out in 2014. But with UNC facing a fourth down from the Gamecocks
30-yard line early in the second quarter,
Weiler waltzed onto the field.
He drilled the 47-yard attempt, giving
North Carolina a 10-7 lead and setting a
new career long. The field goal marked
the longest made by the Tar Heels since
a 48-yarder against Miami in 2012.
After South Carolina tied the game
with a field goal of its own, UNC
marched down the field on its next possession before the drive halted at the
Gamecocks 21-yard line.
The Tar Heels turned to Weiler again,
this time for a 38-yard attempt. And
once again, he delivered, putting UNC
ahead 13-10 just before halftime.
We really wanted to get out there,
show what we had, said Weiler of making his first two attempts of the season.
Right now, I think were just focused on
getting that going again.
Weilers longest field goal in 2014
came from 23 yards out. And while

his performance on Thursday came as

a surprise to fans and the media, the
coaching staff said it was carryover from
the offseason.
What youre seeing is a byproduct of
whats been going on in fall camp, said
special teams coordinator Larry Porter.
As you continue to hit those field goals,
it continues to build your confidence.
We just want to make sure it continues.
Weiler says he spent almost every day
this past offseason working with deep
snapper Kyle Murphy and holder Joey
Mangili to establish confidence as a unit.
With ideal weather conditions, Weiler
believes he can now convert from 55
yards out. In addition to his work on the
field, Weiler also read a couple of golf
books to improve his mental approach.
For when it comes to kicking, not much
is different.
I think everybody relates to that
position like a golfer, Coach Larry
Fedora said. Once they lose that confidence, it makes it tough. But when
theyve got it, they can be on fire.

Aiden, a 12-year-old being

treated at UNC Hospitals for
cystic fibrosis, wants to go to
Walt Disney World and
Kenan-Flagler Business School
students want to get him there.
The Make-A-Wish
Foundation is partnering
with the business school
to make Aidens wish come
true. The students are raising money through a flash
startup competition.
Casey Harris, a student
taking Business 500, said
Aiden is the focus of her startup product. Harris and her
partner are selling glow sticks
at Saturdays football game
against N.C. Agricultural &
Technical State University.
We thought that if you
centered the business and
everything around those
causes, you could end up
probably raising more money
for that, she said.
James Kitchen, Harris
professor and entrepreneur
in residence at KenanFlagler, assigned the project
to take students through the
entrepreneurial process.
The projects, run by pairs
of students, officially started
Wednesday. One pair, including Kim McCormack, another
student in the class, sold shot
glasses in the Pit.
Im actually a math and
chemistry double major, but
Im taking this class because
Ive always had a passion for
entrepreneurship, and this is
helping me with real-world
application of how to make a
profit, McCormack said.
Each team received $100
to start a business. Kitchen

said this is the fourth year of

the flash startup, and each
year the results vary.
Some come up with amazing plans to create online
platforms, and others sell
cupcakes, and you often cant
tell which will be more successful, he said.
Students Joseph Lucido
and Hailey Jacob gave away
ice pops near Wilson Library
on Wednesday and asked for
donations to raise money for
their project.
Lucido and Jacob are members of the Global Learning
Opportunities in Business
Education program. The
program, known as GLOBE,
partners with the Chinese
University of Hong Kong and
the Copenhagen Business
School to give business students the opportunity to study
for a semester at each school.
Christopher Mumford,
a business school professor
who teaches the first module
of GLOBE at UNC, said the
program usually has about 15
students and is about to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
(Now) weve got this flash
startup project which is this
wonderful, crazy invention by
Jim Kitchen to help students
get a street-smart view of how
to start a business, he said.
Mumford and Kitchen have
a friendly competition between
the two student groups.
Kitchen said some of the competitions proceeds go to the
Community Empowerment
Fund to provide cars to new
homeowners transitioning

New app has students Toast Together

Smoothie King to start construction

App allows quicker and cheaper trade

UNC alumnus Ryan Watts remembers when he and

his college friends didnt know where to go out one night.
Wed go to one or two places. We didnt know about
any of the bar specials or who did karaoke, Watts said.
Thats when Chapel Hill Bar Specials was created.
Watts founded Chapel Hill Bar Specials founded in
2009, which had almost 10,000 followers that year on
Twitter and Facebook, but he never marketed it.
After working for IBM for three years, he worked with
two UNC alumni and NFL players, Garrett Reynolds and
Connor Barth, to create an app called Toast Together.
Users can easily and quickly find out who is going
out and who is staying in, Watts said. What place has a
good beer special or who has live music.
The app launched in Wilmington in July, Raleigh in
August and will soon be in Chapel Hill, Durham and
Charlotte in the next month.
Its quite the UNC group that has gotten around this
and has helped grow it in North Carolina, and it will
soon extend out of North Carolina, Watts said.

The location where Campus Calzones used to be will

soon transform into a health-conscious Smoothie King.
Franchise partner Lane Trogdon said hes looking forward to getting into the Chapel Hill area.
Im excited to get on Franklin Street the way the
health trend is, everyone is looking for healthy options
and I think its going to be a great fit, Trogdon said.
He owns a Smoothie King in Wilmington, and is in the
process of opening another in Norfolk, Va., and North
Hills mall in Raleigh. He signed a 55-store contract
meaning he will open 55 stores by the end of 2020.
Were going to Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary,
Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, southern Washington
D.C., Myrtle Beach, Fayetteville, Trogdon said. Its a
pretty big process.
Trogdon said he wanted the Chapel Hill location to
open by the end of September, but construction wont
start until Tuesday. His date to open is now October 12.
Trogdon is planning a VIP party the night before the
grand opening where people can get a free smoothie.

Chapel Hill resident John Zou is one of the founders

of Airahm Inc., a startup that is working to release a new
app called Moomu.
Moomu is a real-time, distance-based local market
which will allow users to trade anything from real estate
to textbooks to household services, such as cooking.
Uber set out this platform based on difference in geographic location. We actually use a similar technology in
the sense that we allow the buyer to find sellers in a specified radius, Zou said.
The startup raised enough money through angel investors and had phase one testing in August. Zou said the
app will be released sometime this month.
I think theres a demand for a trading platform like
this, Zou said. I have spoken to many people doing this
in different locations and most of them feel they would
use this app if its available.
75004
The app also has video-enabled ad postings and ad
watches, which notify buyers of specific ads they have
previously searched for.

DTH/KATIE WILLIAMS
Sophomore sociology major Jessie Winfree talks about her time in Israel In the Union on Wednesday.

J Street discusses
Israel, Palestine
By Jada Harkins Andrews
Staff Writer

J Street UNCs public

discussion about the Israeli
and Palestinian conflict
Wednesday welcomed anyone, even those with no
prior knowledge of foreign
policy.
This is an event that
is meant to reach a lot of
people in the beginning
of the year in two folds: to
educate people about the
conflict and the other being,
in the beginning of the year,
we want to be able to reach
a lot of people, said senior J
Street UNC board member
Brian Gaynor.
J Street is a student activist organization advocating
for dialogue and education about the Israeli and
Palestinian conflict.
Attendees heard personal accounts from J Street
members, shared their own
accounts and opinions and
asked questions.
Sophomore board member
Jessie Winfree shared her

own personal experience of

traveling to Israel for winter
break in 2014.
I was caught in the face of
a dilemma when I got back to
the U.S. What could really be
done? Winfree said.
Winfree said she stumbled across J Street in
the Pit one day after she
returned to the U.S. and felt
compelled to join.
I have an obligation as
someone who is pro-Israel,
as someone who cares about
human rights I need to
take a stance, Winfree said.
The array of attendees at
this event ranged from students from the Middle East
to students from the U.S.
who had no idea there was
conflict overseas.
Senior geography major
Jack Largess shared his
experience of traveling to
Israel.
I came here cause Im
really excited to see all of
these people here, said
Largess.
And I wanted to see
what the response was in

the group: how people were

feeling, what people were
saying and what J Street was
up to.
Largess said having the
conversation about the twostate conflict is difficult
most of the time and it is
not a conversation he enjoys
having.
I reflect on the way police
are treating people in the
West Bank and compare it
to the way police forces are
treating people in the United
States, Largess said.
Senior board member
Anna Ballasiotes said that
she joined the group with no
prior knowledge of Israel,
Palestine or foreign policy.
It didnt really matter that
I didnt have a direct connection, Ballasiotes said.
What mattered was that I
was bothered enough to take
action and that I was bothered enough to devote time
to working on this issue and
trying to find something that
will help it or fix it.

Dalys own eating disorder

and her friends attempts
to help her is part of what
inspired Embody Carolina.
She is one of the four founders along with fellow grad-

uates Cora Wilen, Ben Barge

and Savannah King.
The four began working with the UNC Center
of Excellence for Eating
Disorders to develop the
curriculum for Embody
trainings. The LFIT effort
is focused on changing the
nutrition unit by making the
alternative assignment more
visible and steering away
from MyFitnessPal.
We would like to eventu-

ally come away from using

MyFitnessPal altogether,
Leck said.
There are other apps that
weve looked at that dont
focus on the numbers but
more on how are you feeling
after you eat and why did
you eat.
Embody Carolina trained
LFIT teaching assistants
last year on sensitivity when
discussing issues related to
eating disorders.

People have told Embody

that TAs use the project to
scare students from the freshman 15, Leck said.
We dont want first-years
and transfer students who
are coming in and are already
in a vulnerable time in their
lives, we dont want this unit
to click with them somehow
in their mind and send them
on a downward spiral.

sometimes unpopular and to

get the best thinking around
some of these very contentious problems facing our
society, he said.
The dean has to be
unapologetic.
After a 20-minute presen-

tation, Easterling fielded questions ranging from protecting

liberal arts funding to recruitment of minority faculty.
Professor Laurie McNeil
asked where Easterling would
focus the colleges limited
money among departments

and programs.
We always have fewer
resources than we want,
McNeil said.
Easterling said he made
tough calls at Penn State
about programs that had
become less and less

engaged in the main mission

of the university.
Student Body President
Houston Summers and other
student leaders met with
Easterling after the forum.
While Summers could not
comment about Easterling due

to a confidentiality agreement,
he said hes stressing affordability to all the candidates.
The process has been set
up for a lot of student input
and student feedback, he said.
@SaacksAttack
university@dailytarheel.com

Tax policy in and of itself

is not going to determine the
level of economic growth, but
a good tax policy certainly can
pave the way and set the conditions for economic growth,
he said.

Bush also made sure to

point out his plan wasnt
new or radical some of the
numbers had roots in a very
popular former president.
With the highest (tax)
rate set at 28 percent,

we will have returned to

the structure enacted in
President Ronald Reagans
monumental and successful
1986 tax reform, he said. It
worked before, and it can
work again now.

Kokai said that much like

harking back to Reagan,
the location of the speech
in North Carolina was well
thought out.
Everyone sees North
Carolina as one of the criti-

cal states to win, he said. So

(Republican candidates) are
positioning themselves to
compete in North Carolina
fairly early in the process.

It also takes in the amount of

carbs, proteins, sugars, all of
that that you are (taking in).
Battaglini said most of the
students in LFIT classes are
freshmen, so this is likely their
first time away from home.
The purpose is not to make
anybody feel self-conscious or
make anybody think that they
have to change their diet or go
to the gym, she said.
The goal behind it is to
help them see the bigger

picture of what they are eating and to see if they possibly

need to make healthier choices or see if they are doing a
really good job.

UNC graduate comes back to Chapel Hill for art

By Chloe Lackey
Staff Writer

It took Leigh Suggs 10

years to determine that a
career in art was what she
wanted to do.
The UNC graduate, who
recently earned her Master
of Fine Arts at Virginia
Commonwealth University,
now works in Richmond, Va.,
creating art to showcase in
galleries in both Virginia and
Chapel Hill. But before now,
the artist wasnt sure what
she wanted.
I wasnt sure whether I
wanted to be an art major,
Suggs said of her time at
UNC. But I had a lot of

encouragement from two

female professors who took
me under their wings. They
were huge supporters of what
I was doing, and it felt right.
With the guidance of Beth
Grabowski and elin oHara
slavick, Suggs found her
current medium of choice
through a job at Wilson
Library, where she worked
with preservation and the
Rare Book Collection..
In 2011, Suggs took a
vacation from her job at the
Penland School of Crafts, and
realized her art could be a
larger part of her life.
Not until I was 30 did I
realize that people could be
artists for a living. I always

thought you had to pair

something else with art,
Suggs said. It hit me while
I was working that I could
do this, and this was what I
wanted to do.
Suggs currently has two
exhibitions in Chapel Hill:
one at LIGHT Art + Design,
the gallery created by her former boss, Cindy Spuria, and
one at the Horace Williams
House. Both are solo shows.
At the Horace Williams
House, the art program aims
to showcase local artists work
in their gallery space. The
committee chooses artists and
then sends a representative to
help prepare for the show..
Renee Leverty, the member

of the committee who worked

with Suggs, said she liked
Suggs ability to make a complex work simple.
As you stand there and
become mesmerized by it, you
realize the complexity and
detail in each work, she said.
Each piece is a meditation,
and its done really well.
Suggs artwork for the
exhibition consists of nine
pieces, primarily in black and
white, which experiment with
different textures through
materials like handmade
abaca paper and repeated
details, like tiny circles on a
large canvas or hundreds of
stippled dots.
I think her work could

expand peoples ideas of what

art making is, said Tama
Hochbaum, co-chairwoman of
the Horace Williams House art
program. You can feel this in
your bones, what shes doing.
Suggs said she is content in
her studio in Richmond.
I work everyday, even if
its only for a little bit, but Im

always making, Suggs said.

I tried really hard for this,
and I got it. And its awesome
and amazing.
Suggs will be making an
appearance at the Horace
Williams House for a reception at the gallery on Sept. 13.

Town accepting proposals for parking lot on Franklin

By Shantan Krovidi
Staff Writer

Parking in Chapel Hill may

become even more limited.
The town may remove the
65 parking spots at 415 W.
Franklin St. near McDonalds.
The town of Chapel Hill
is exploring options to
redevelop the half-acre lot
by replacing it with a multistory building.
As a part of looking at
continuing to grow our
downtown and to meet the
needs of our downtown,
the (Town) Council had
the interest in exploring
the potential of developing
Lot 3 (415 W. Franklin St.)
as a project, said Dwight
Bassett, economic development officer for the town.
They have some specific
interests. One was some
specific type of usage on the
first floor and also accommodating some affordable
housing for downtown.
The town has considered
a parking deck in the space
behind the new development,
said Bassett.
We have talked to property owners about looking at
the potential to acquire that
property, said Bassett.
It is strictly an exploration
of potential to build the build-

ing and an exploration of,

Could we accommodate the
parking in another manner if
we did build the building?
said Bassett. Its sort of a twopart question, and were very
early in the process.
Proposals from firms interested in redeveloping the lot
were due on Sept. 9.
Brenda Jones, parking
superintendent of the Parking
Services Division, said one
issue people have with parking in Chapel Hill is that
there isnt sufficient parking
near locations that people
want to go.
People want convenient
parking, but sometimes they
have to walk a block or two,
said Jones.
The largest popular
opinion is that we dont have
enough parking, she said.
But we have some areas
that are underutilized, so I
wont say that we dont have
enough parking.
In attempting to expand
parking, the town is limited
due to its size and other factors, such as the University,
said Jones.
Whenever something
comes up, the first thing to
go is parking spaces and then
youre going to build something that requires parking,
said Jones. Its kind of a

double-edged sword.
The reaction to the proposed plan has been mixed.
I dont think they should
get rid of it, said Charles Gear,
a Chapel Hill resident. I think
it should be there for the students because a lot of the students dont have anywhere to
park at, and a lot of students
need to park their cars there to
get to the school.

Chuck McCauley, a
Carrboro resident, was neutral toward the towns plan.
Ive never seen anyone
park over there too much
anyway, said McCauley. But
if theyre getting rid of it they
should use it for office or
retail and put more parking
up there.

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Mistress of Quirk

Its Nothing Personal

Columnist Chiraayu Gosrani
talks about local radicalism.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Cosima Hernandez, on being a responsible student

Evana Bodiker

quadGoals is a
phrase that has
integrated itself
into not only my internet
vocabulary, but my IRL
vocabulary, too. Im not the
only person this has happened
to either.
Squad Goals, made famous
by Queen of Everything
Taylor Swift, is a phenomenon evident in 2015 girl
gangs are in.
While thinking about my
own female squad and what
female friendship means to
me, my mind wandered to last
weeks sorority recruitment on
campus. Having several friends
who are sisters in various
sororities, I heard about the
countless hours of practice and
preparation that led up to last
Wednesdays Bid Day: the ultimate union of a girl with her
destined Panhellenic squad.
However, it doesnt always
work out with a fairy tale ending. Some girls get dropped
from the sororities they feel
the most in tune with; some
fall through altogether.
While thats heartbreaking,
Im here to say that Greek life
isnt the only way to find your
squad. It can be an incredible
experience for reasons other
than getting a bid; you can
meet other amazing people in
the process.
Before I came to UNC, I
had very few girl friends. High
school made me question how
genuine female friendships
truly were.
I passed off my few catty
experiences as just that: Girls
were mean, out for themselves
and not the type of friends I
wanted. Throughout my first
semester last fall, I realized how
wrong that philosophy was.
At the end of my first
semester, I had accrued many
female friends through my
various experiences at UNC.
Some were met by way of
living across the suite from
each other, another was met
by chance after realizing
we were already friends on
social media, a few were met
through classes and quite
a number were met when I
rushed at a Greek Alliance
Council co-ed fraternity.
Rushing helped me make
female friends in both the fraternity and through the rush
process. For the friends I met
through recruitment, it wasnt
about who got a bid or who
didnt, it was about sharing a
crazy, hectic experience and
then moving on from it.
We were able to continue to
hang out even after recruitment
had ended, and unsurprisingly,
we had a lot in common.
My idea of female friendship has done a complete 180.
Although I had bad experiences in the past, having
mutual experiences with other
girls has helped me realize
how magical and wonderful a
strong female bond can be.
So you didnt get the bid you
wanted. Thats okay; theres
always next year, but also try
to remember the friends you
made in the process.
Just because some of these
girls might be on their way
to joining a sorority doesnt
mean they cant have friends
outside of their organization.
Sisterhood comes in all sizes,
colors and modes it doesnt
have to happen within a campus organization.
Sometimes it takes losing
one squad to make a new one.

The Daily Tar Heel

A voice that matters

Students should try
to engage with the
dean search.

he Universitys
search for a new
dean of the largest unit on campus,
the College of Arts and
Sciences, is nearly over.
The time for student
involvement in the process
is upon us, but how can
our voices be heard?
In February, this
board endorsed Houston
Summers because we
believed he would be an
effective advocate for student voices. The executive
branchs decision to facilitate a town hall meeting to
consider student opinion

in the selection process is a

step in the right direction.
But forums held by
UNC at 11 a.m. on weekdays are inopportune. In
the future, forums should
be planned with student
schedules in mind. And
forums that overlap with
class are not the only thing
keeping students away
from participating.
The lack of a direct
voice in selecting the new
dean and the pressures of
daily student life are limiting student participation.
So too is general apathy.
Students should make
every effort to attend student governments town
hall meeting and the
remaining public forums.
It cannot be assured

that the general student

voice will be heard in
student government luncheons with the candidates in South Building.
They will be heard once
space is made for students
to engage with and provide opinions to student
government transparently.
The new deans impact
on students academic
experience cannot be
understated. The dean
is the students link to
the UNC administration.
They fight to find ways to
innovate the curriculum
in a fiscally tumultuous
environment.
The colleges students
have the responsibility to
speak up, both for themselves and future students.

EDITORIAL

Start the search now

Dont put off the
internship search
to the last minute.

s soon as summer
internship season
ends, its time for
the internship search for
next summer to begin. We
advise students to take
note and get started early,
sparing themselves a lot of
trouble in the long run.
Many journalism
internships set due dates
as early as Halloween or
early November, like the
Dow Jones News Fund.
Applications for Google
internships have deadlines
starting in November,
too. And many potential
employers will come to
campus for interviews and
interest sessions.

Students might start

to feel overwhelmed by
the potential summer of
unemployment that could
await them if they dont
get their search in gear.
So get started now.
Start looking up internship requirements for
the programs that might
interest you. Even if they
arent due until January,
make a list. Put the due
dates into your calendar.
Set reminders.
Meet with someone from
University Career Services,
or submit your resume
on Careerolina for review.
Scrambling to prepare a
cover letter and resume the
day or night before a due
date is no good for your
future career or your present sanity. Stop that.
And take this opportu-

nity to brand yourself. If

your future employment
involves being a public
figure, take a look at your
social media, your website
and what shows up when
you do a Google search of
your name. Perfect your
resume and logo to represent who you are.
Go to Career Services
job and internship expo
on Sept. 17. Take advantage of potential employers standing in a room
waiting to meet you and
take your resume.
Ask for help. You are
surrounded by hundreds of
students searching for an
internship, too, or students
who have applied for the
same dream internship in
the past and succeeded. We
arent all fighting for the
same internship, promise.

Bored of Bruno

Tuesday, we were all graced

with a dramatic tennis
match between
American heroes
Serena and
Venus Williams.
This didnt cause
rich peoples toilet rag,
Forbes, to take any pause
as they chose this time to
tweet an article about how
mere mortal Maria Sharapova is the most marketable
female athlete.

The triumphant return

of the comedy god that
is Stephen
Colbert rocked
our worlds on
Tuesday night.
His metaphor
bombs of choice were deft:
A spirit inheriting an amulet
for CBS and two packages of Oreos for the media
covering Donald Trump. We
just wish Jeb Bush would
have been less all American.

Reports said the NFL has

asked Bruno Mars to take
part in the halftime show for
the 50th Super
Bowl. Seems
boring compared to a chart topper like
The Weeknd. Then again,
maybe the NFL doesnt
want people hearing Cant

about all the anesthetics
their players need.

Hello candidates

Football legend Peyton

Manning imparted his wisdom to UNCs
very own Marquise Williams in
the wake of last
weeks loss. It is
always refreshing to see an
old pro helping out a young
kid. Maybe once Williams
leaves the tyranny of the
NCAA, Manning can help
him open his own Papa
Johns franchise.

If youre going to make

us consumerist slaves,
Apple, please at
least be useful
when you do
it. A pencil? A
freaking pencil?
If youre anything like us,
this would be a complete
waste of money. I lost two
pens while writing this,
and Ive already mortgaged my soul to be able
to afford Apple products.

seem relevant and unique.

TO THE EDITOR:
I have known Nancy
Oates for more than 10
years, both professionally and as a friend, and
I am impressed with her
openness, honesty, integrity and concern for others not to mention her
keen intelligence. As a
candidate for Chapel Hill
Town Council, she brings
all those personal traits as
well as a nuanced understanding of local government and the issues facing
our town.
For more than six years,
Nancy has followed the
Town Council in her blog
Chapel Hill Watch. She digs
deep into an issue, talks to
stakeholders and assesses
the consequences of decisions. She believes the
council can do a better job
of listening to people and of
weighing the environmental and infrastructure costs
when making decisions
critical to the towns future.
She also believes the council must hold itself responsible to the people who
work here but too often
cannot afford to live here.
I will vote for Nancy
Oates for Town Council
on Nov. 3 because I am
confident she will make an
outstanding addition to the
board and will be accountable to the community at
large. I urge others to do
the same.

DTH needs to practice

what it preaches
TO THE EDITOR:
I am responding to
your important column
on the need to use gendersensitive language. I suggest that The Daily Tar
Heel take this to heart and
kick-start implementation
of the idea by discontinuing use of the anachronistic term freshmen and
replacing it with some
more inclusive term, such
as first-years.

DTH should have

given more context
TO THE EDITOR:
I was really disappointed
that in Thursdays brief column regarding the description of the five candidates
for the dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, the
following was submitted as
a brief description of Dr.
Kevin Guskiewicz:
It was revealed this
year that he requested
admittance of two unqualified UNC athletes into
the Exercise and Sport
Science graduate program
at the request of the athletic department in 2003
and 2010
The other candidates
were afforded brief descriptions of their research
interests, accomplishments, areas of study or

recent employment. Dr.

Guskiewicz should have
been allotted the same
opportunity.
What The Daily Tar Heel
printed was hardly a quick
synopsis of who he is and
what he has accomplished.
Perhaps I should give
The Daily Tar Heel the
benefit of the doubt as
it would be very difficult
to summarize all of his
accomplishments in a sentence or two and maybe
this was just easier.
I would encourage everyone to attend his forum on
Sept. 17 and be able to see
for themselves who he is
and what he can continue to
contribute to this university.

NPHC editorial still

raises a fair point
TO THE EDITOR:
Yesterday the National
Pan-Hellenic Council took
issue with the Daily Tar
Heels pressure to require
One Act training. Their list
of programs was long, but
the fact remains that hosting non-mandatory events
and leading by example
are two different things.
Furthermore, glaringly
absent are events sponsored
solely by fraternities; even
the UNC Mens Project
paired with a sorority.
While NPHC organizations
do host events on the very
subject of sexual assault,
not all are preventative.
A students first encounter with the NPHC is usually at a party. Unbeknownst
to them, many parties are
notorious for raunchiness.
A notable example is the
Pretty Nasty party hosted
in the Union when I was an
undergrad. Womyn were
groped, bitten and licked
and those who complained
were told they were asking
for it by attending.
Speaking for myself as
a student, alumna, former
Graduate and Professional
Student Federation
president, member of the
Gender-Based Violence
Prevention Task Force
and a Black female survivor whose assailant is an
NPHC member, I implore
upon those who claim to
have walked a mile in survivors shoes to step up and
end rape culture within
their own organizations.
One Act is not an event.
It specifically promotes
bystander intervention in
settings like NPHC parties.
An event cannot replace
training individuals to stop
rape before it happens.
As we again mourn
Faith Hedgepeth, a Greek
Alliance Council womyn
of color, it is imperative
that people of color on this
campus critically examine
how our culture promotes
rape culture and excuses
gender-based violence.
#ItsOnUs to protect
womyn of color because
we are the only ones
who will say each others
names.
