Campus blackout; one employee injured

Central campus buildings
lost power for three hours
Wednesday afternoon.
By Jane Wester
University Editor

A UNC employee was taken to the

hospital after an accident in a Dey
Hall electrical closet, according to
Alert Carolina and UNC spokesperson Jim Gregory.
Gregory said the Chapel Hill Fire
Department and UNC Environment,
Health and Safety officials are investigating.
People in Dey Hall just before 4

p.m. said they heard a loud noise and

the lights went out. About five minutes later, fire alarms went off.
Around the same time, power
went out across central campus,
including main gathering spots
such as Lenoir Dining Hall, the
Student Union, Davis Library, the
Undergraduate Library, Student
Stores and the Campus Y.
Residence halls close to Polk
Place and some classroom buildings
also lost power.
Power was restored in every campus building except Wilson Library
and Dey Hall at about 7 p.m. Lenoir
Dining Hall, Davis Library and the
Undergraduate Library all closed
overnight after they lost power.

Wilson Library and Dey Hall still

do not have power, according to Alert
Carolina. Classes beginning before
noon in those two buildings have
been canceled, and employees working there are asked not to come to
work until the power comes back on.
There was no expected time given in
the Alert Carolina for when the power
would come back in those buildings.
Power returned in time for
students to avoid plans discussed
in a Department of Housing and
Residential Education email, which
said students wouldnt be allowed to
stay in dorms without power.
The email, which was sent at 6:20
p.m., said life-safety equipment,
such as sprinklers, was affected by

the power outage, so students could

not stay overnight in the buildings.
Students were told to retrieve any
necessary belongings before 7:30
p.m., using their room keys to get
into the buildings. They were asked
to stay with friends overnight or
come to Cobb Hall to arrange a relocation assignment. Power returned
to the dorms before 7:30.
Associate Vice Chancellor for
Campus Enterprises Brad Ives was
outside Dey after the incident, and he
said he was at the hospital with the
injured employee Wednesday evening.
Qiaoxi Li, a fourth-year chemistry Ph.D. student, said she was
in Caudill Laboratories when the
power went out, so she and her col-

leagues walked outside.

She said she saw the injured
individual leave Dey Hall. She later
thought the person appeared to be
unconscious and suffering from
burns. One of her laboratory colleagues tried to help the individual.
Li also said she saw a fire.
Aleksandr Zhushma, a researcher
in the chemistry department,
confirmed the power went out in
Caudill Labs. He saw the injured
person leaving Dey Hall through a
maintenance door.

Students defend First Amendment against legislature

By CJ Farris
Staff Writer

Fifty years ago today, students took a stand

for their First Amendment rights defying
the state legislature and inviting previously
banned speakers to Chapel Hill.
This speaker ban, officially known as the Act
to Regulate Visiting Speakers, was debated for
less than an hour on the last day of the legislative session.
It was a legislation that originated without warning, without notice, in the General
Assembly in the summer of 1963, said Michael

Hill, supervisor of historical research for the

state Office of Archives and History. Essentially,
it was to prohibit members of the Communist
Party, or persons known to be affiliated with the
Communist Party, from speaking on campus.
Ferrel Guillory, a professor in the School of
Media and Journalism, said the largely white,
rural legislature of the time reacted to what
it saw as an association between activists and
communists.
Students were outraged to see the bans
challenge to the First Amendment, said Jock
Lauterer, a senior lecturer in the journalism
school and then-chief photographer for The

Daily Tar Heel. He said many saw it as an

attack on the University.
We were astonished that the lawmakers in
Raleigh would see fit to pass such an egregious
and morally corrupt, as we saw it, law, he said.
Then-Student Body President Paul Dickson
and his successor Bob Spearman sought help
from other passionate student leaders and
attorneys, Hill said. Robert Dickson, Pauls
younger brother, said Paul was a supporter of
the First Amendment not communism.
He didnt think the legislature ought to

Defensive struggles leave Tar Heels unsatised

MENS BASKETBALL

NORTH CAROLINA
WAKE FOREST

83
68

By Ben Coley
Senior Writer

In the 2015-16 season, the No.

2 North Carolina mens basketball
team has intimidated its opponents
with a lightning-quick tempo and a
dangerously explosive offense.
But in its 83-68 victory over Wake
Forest (10-8, 1-5 ACC) Wednesday
night at the Smith Center, the Tar
Heels showed glimpses of defensive
intensity. Defenders swiped at balls,
smacked shot attempts and closed
out on the perimeter.
But thats all it proved to be
just a glimpse.
In a game where the Tar Heels
shot just 38.4 percent from the
field and 16.7 from 3-point range,

UNC (17-2, 6-0 ACC) managed to

snag 15 steals, force 19 turnovers
and block seven shots en route to
scoring 21 points off turnovers.
Despite the impressive numbers,
Coach Roy Williams and the players were far from satisfied by the
defensive effort.
In the opening half, the Tar
Heels held the Demon Deacons to
33.3 percent shooting. In the second half, that number increased to
45.9 percent.
Satisfaction is not part of my
language right now, Williams said.
Nowhere close. Mick Jagger, satisfaction thats not Roy Williams,
I can tell you that.
Williams noted that in the second half, 14 of Wake Forests 17
made field goals were layups.
Senior forward Brice Johnson
who led the team with 27 points
and 11 rebounds was the only

On Jan. 11, UNC issued a request for

proposal to give outside companies the
opportunity to submit proposals to privately manage UNC Student Stores.
Brad Ives, associate vice chancellor
for campus enterprises, said the document was drafted by the campus enterprises office with Campus Bookstore
Consulting, an outside company.
Ives said John Gorsuch, former Student
Stores director, drafted the first document, and Student Stores employees and
Employee Forum members also had input.
We try to be very inclusive in the
process of the input of the document,
Ives said.
The RFP was produced after Follett,
a company that owns more than 1,000
student stores nationwide, submitted an unsolicited proposal to privatize
UNC Student Stores. Ives said the RFP
describes all the functions and products
of the store and includes clauses on issues
such as the limitation of prices on textbooks, a topic very important to students.
What the document tries to do is
describe all the operations of the Student
Stores and what the University would
like to see if we did decide to have an
outside operator, he said.
Ives said the RFP maintains that no
outside company can offer products or services inferior to what Student Stores offers.
The next step, Ives said, is to answer
and clarify any written questions that
potential bidders might have. All proposals are due by Feb. 18, and then an
advisory review committee will review
submitted proposals. The committee has
not been formed yet, Ives said.
Student Body President Houston
Summers has selected himself and Chief
of Staff Harry Edwards to be potential
members of this committee to represent
student government.
Summers said he understands the
repercussions Student Stores privatization could have, but he said if there
is a way that a company could protect
employees and give students more
money, it needs to be talked about.
Thats a really serious conversation that
needs to be had in these times, he said.
Shannon Brien, a member of Student
Action with Workers, said after reading
through the proposal, she can tell the
administration is taking this process
seriously. Brien said the Student Stores
will be submitting its own proposal to
the University, and she believes what the
Student Stores has to offer is the best
option for the University.
How our licensing is determined,
how textbook costs are kept affordable
those are things that are already taken
care of by Student Stores, she said.
Brien said privatization would be a decision that doesnt serve workers, students
and the community. SAW will continue to
keep up activist pressure on the administration to ensure that the process remains
as transparent as possible, she said.
Ives said if the University decides to
outsource, it will not be to a company
that does not treat employees fairly.
The welfare and future of the
employees of the Student Stores is going
to be incredibly important to us.

Weve got the right to choose, and there aint no way well lose it.

be telling the students who

they could listen to, Robert
Dickson said.
Faculty and other system
officials like Bill Friday, UNCsystem president from 1956
to 1986, strongly opposed the
Speaker Ban.
Bill Friday told me that he
launched over to the General
Assembly and spent the day
talking to legislators about how
unhappy he was with it, said
Rep. Verla Insko, D-Orange, a
long-time Chapel Hill resident.
In March 1966, hundreds
of students gathered on
McCorkle Place to listen to
speakers Frank Wilkinson and
Herbert Aptheker, who were
prohibited by the ban.
They spoke technically off
campus on the public land
the sidewalk and addressed
the students who gathered on
the quad, Hill said.
During the event, Lauterer
remembers a symbolic sign
along the stone wall reading
Gov. Dan Moores Wall, a reference to the Berlin Wall.
(It was) graphically very
compelling to see all the students listening to this gentleman that the legislature said
we couldnt hear, we couldnt
listen to, and of course we
could listen to him, he said.
So it was a real coup.
After years of fighting, in
February 1968 the courts
declared the Speaker Ban law
unconstitutional.
You got to say that this is
one of the highlight moments
in the history of Carolina,
during which students played
a critical leadership role in
asserting their devotion to
and their desire for the kind of
university that they would be
proud of, Guillory said. The
kind of university that is strong
enough to confront ideas that
might be unacceptable to a
large part of the populace.
Insko said the event was
a perfect example of citizens
making a difference.
You have to be engaged in
order to preserve democracy.
It is won with every generation. We have to win it again in
every generation, she said. So
that was that generation stepping forward saying this is our
country, and its a democracy.
On University Day in 2011,
many of the students involved
in the fight against the Speaker
Ban returned to Chapel Hill to
join current University leaders unveiling the Speaker Ban
marker.
This is not just a hunk of
rock sitting on top of a wall.
It really is an icon and an
emblem for what a great university could and should be,
Lauterer said. With the light
and liberty, we are the light on
the hill, and when we say that
it means the light must shine,
and its got to shine in all the
dark little places.

Cold water stuns NC sea turtles

By Olivia Slagle
Staff Writer

Within only 15 days, more

than 1,000 sea turtles have
been admitted for rehabilitation to the Karen Beasley
Sea Turtle Rescue and
Rehabilitation Center in Surf
City near Topsail Island.
Jean Beasley, director of
the center, said many turtles
have been affected by the
sudden drop in temperatures because they cannot
regulate their own temperature.
Turtles are stressed by
the sudden drop in temperature, and they often stop
moving, she said. Their
bodies essentially shut
down, and their blood rushes to their core to protect
their vital organs.
This process is called cold
stunning, and it is common
when water temperatures
drop suddenly after a period
of warm weather.
But in her 30 years experience, Beasley said this is the
largest cold stunning event
yet.
Matthew Godfrey, a sea
turtle biologist at the N.C.
Sea Turtle Project, said as

coastal sounds cool to about

55 degrees Fahrenheit, turtles aim to move to warmer
waters near the Gulf Stream
or further south.
This year, (North
Carolina) had a strong cold
snap in early January with a
quick drop in water temperatures that caused hypother-

mia in a large number of sea

turtles, he said.
Godfrey said specialists hope to direct turtles to
warmer water.
Sometimes this means
transporting them offshore
quickly, or they may need
extra time in a rehabilitation
center to recover from other

Community college surcharge proposed

By Lauren Hong
Staff Writer

North Carolina community colleges could see a tuition

surcharge in an effort to
upgrade equipment particularly for students pursuing medical and information
technology professions.
If approved, the proposal
would give local Boards of
Trustees the option to set a
tuition surcharge of up to 10
percent.
Colleges could apply this
money for state-approved
purposes, as well as permitted
capital improvement projects.
I dont like tuition
increases, but I am in favor
of the option to do this
because the needs of our
students to have the kind of
equipment for our medical
programs and IT programs
is far beyond the amount
of money we have, said
Stephen Scott, president of
Wake Technical Community
College.
Current tuition at Wake
Tech is $76 per credit hour,
and the average student takes
10 credit hours.
Scott said Wake Tech
receives $3.2 million from the
state when the normal need
is around $12 million a $9
million shortfall. To fill the
gaps, the college depends on
equipment donations from

local industries.
It is constantly a balancing act. We never raise $9
million, he said.
The tuition surcharge
could add $3.5 million for
Wake Techs equipment, Scott
said.
William Ingram, the president of Durham Technical
Community College, said he
does not think the proposal
will be approved.
There are some strong
reasons why it is being considered right now we are
underfunded and recently
the bulk of funding is coming
from tuition, he said.
Tuition dollars are not
staying with the college. They
go to (the) state treasurer and
state funds.
Ingram said Durham
Techs annual state budget is
around $26 million, and it
has lost a little more than $1
million due to a management
flexibility cut.
We are clearly (as) underfunded as in public schools
and universities, he said.
Priya Balakrishnan, president of N.C. Comprehensive
Community College Student
Government Association, said
in a statement that students
see more cons than pros.
A lot of places do need
upgrades, she said. However,
there are other alternatives
that the state could consider

that could increase the revenue stream without inconsistently increasing tuition.
She said in the statement a
tuition surcharge would defy
the mission of the community
college system and cited a
$4 increase implemented this
year.
Though it may be a useful
opportunity for community
colleges that have a need for
funds, the students think it
will break the bond that all
N.C. Community Colleges
currently have, she said.
If the proposal advances
to the state board next week,
Balakrishnan said the student
government organization will
likely plan a meeting to voice
opinions in a presentable
manner.
state@dailytarheel.com

injuries or wounds, he said.

The Lohmann Lab is a
branch of the UNC Biology
Department that studies the
behavior and sensory abilities
of ocean animals, including
sea turtles.
Kenneth Lohmann, a
project director for the lab,
said in an email the number

of stranded turtles this year

might have lasting impact.
Many of the turtles that
have been stranded are older
individuals either adults or
turtles that will soon become
adults, he said. These are
individuals that are expected
to reproduce soon and help
replenish the population, so if
a large number die, then the
population might be jeopardized.
He said conservation
efforts will take time.
It is difficult to predict
the long-term impact of this
event, Lohmann said. If a
very large proportion of the
population dies, then it could
take many years for the population to recover, but hopefully that will not happen in
this case.
But Beasley said there are
other threats facing North
Carolinas sea turtles.
They cannot survive
what we are doing to the
world today, she said. Its
all the factors that we are
bringing to their existence
that threaten the survival
of these different species of
turtles.

Johnson said the team
frustrated Wake Forest in the
first half but added that the
intensity and focus took a
noticeable dip in the final 20
minutes of play.
We couldve done a lot better in the second half, Johnson
said. We allowed them to get
layups. They had 14 layups in
the second half. We cant let
that happen in games with a
better opponent.
In the first half, the Tar
Heels swiped 10 steals and registered five blocks. Those numbers dipped to five and two in
the second half, respectively.
We have really good
stretches when we show that
we can really lock down,
said sophomore guard Theo
Pinson. Thats what Coach
(Roy Williams) is a little frustrated about. We show really
good glimpses of us being
active and rotating and stuff
like that. And we have little
stretches where we just let up.
Williams said he told his
players they were improving defensively, but it did not
show in the past couple of
days of practice.
For now, UNC will continue
to be labeled as an offensive
powerhouse. But Williams
looks forward to the day when
his team can flip the script.
Im tired of those guys on

Making it through a weekend without Lenoir

By Meggie Cruser
Staff Writer

It was Saturday mid-morning, the perfect time for a

Lenoir brunch of sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes.
I took a leisurely oneminute stroll from my dorm to
the dining hall, where I saw a
few people looking confused
outside the doors. A small well
of doubt started to form in my
chest. Was Lenoir closed?
I walked up to the doors.
Locked. Locked!! With
mounting dread, I looked at
the sign on the door. Closed
until Monday. I felt personally rejected.
You see, Im a bit fond of
Lenoir. Maybe a lot fond of it.
In fact, I have been known to
refer to Lenoir as the love of
my life.
I really dont understand
people who dont like the
dining hall. There is so much
food. So many choices. New
things every day. You never

have to do your own dishes.

It is most likely two minutes
from your dorm.
I was happy that the staff
would get a break over the
weekend, but I felt lost and
cold.
If Lenoir wasnt there for
me, then who was?
Resigned to my lonely fate,
I turned to the more immediate problem at hand food.
Its okay, I thought to myself.
Alpine is here for just such a
time as this.
Alpine was not there for
just such a time. It was, in
fact, closed.
With a rapidly diminishing
pool of options, I headed to
Wendys.
Unfortunately, so did
everyone else. The place was
packed and the line was not
moving. Time for Plan C
Rams.

China scholarship takes 2 from UNC

Only 111
students were
chosen
worldwide
By Aaron Redus
Staff Writer

For Morehead-Cain Scholars

Larry Han and Max Seunik, the
opportunity to complete a masters program in China will serve
as a springboard for global career
options.
Han, a senior majoring in biostatistics and mathematics, and Seunik,
who graduated in May with a degree
in health policy and management,
are recipients of the Schwarzman
scholarship a new program paid
for by Stephen A. Schwarzman, a
Yale graduate and co-founder of
investment firm Blackstone.
Mary Floyd-Wilson, director of the Office of Distinguished
Scholarships, said Han and Seunik
exemplify what UNC has to offer.
I think this is a huge honor,
she said. I think it speaks to how
accomplished our students are, how
hardworking they are, how innovative they are. Both Max and Larry
are really pushing forward their
fields of study.
Han and Seunik are two of 111
students from around the world who
will spend a year in China completing
a masters program in economics and
management, public policy or international studies. The students will study
at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Seunik plans to enroll in the public
policy program and Han is considering economics or public policy.
Han said he is excited for the
opportunity to study abroad again
an experience he previously enjoyed
when he studied in Singapore.

Senior Larry Han is one of the recipients of the Schwarzman scholarship. It allows him to pursue a one-year masters degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Ive always, as a young kid,

wanted to study at an Asian institute of higher learning, Han said.
Thats what Im most excited
about, is having the opportunity to
really dive deeply as a full-time student in China.
After completing his masters
degree in China, Han hopes to continue his education and research.

Chapel Ridge
improves its
conditions
Residents have complained about
the apartments maintenance.
By Rachel Bridges
Assistant City Editor

Following complaints of frustrated residents

and apartments in unacceptable conditions,
Chapel Ridge has changed management in an
effort to improve the apartment complex.
Earlier this year, several Chapel Ridge residents reported complaints of maintenance issues
such as dirty carpets and broken appliances.
In September, current Chapel Ridge property
manager Katie Grout replaced the former manager and has faced many challenges.
Its been an uphill battle, Grout said.
When I got here, from what Ive gathered,
a lot of the units may have been untouched.
There were probably close to 200 maintenance
requests, which is crazy. Our goal is that no maintenance request should go more than three days
unresolved.
Grout said a supplementary maintenance provider was brought out and that they have caught
up on all of the maintenance requests and are
back to the normal three-day schedule.
She speculated that issues with the previous
management might have stemmed from a lack of
experience and organization.
I know the previous manager, and it was her
first property, Grout said.
I will admit, this job takes a lot of organization. Its not something that you can prepare for.
I do know that they went through two different
managers at that from January to September, and
things could have gotten lost in translation.
Chapel Ridge residents have had mixed reactions to the recent changes in management at the
complex.
The management has been better since it
changed in the fall. However, there are still
significant issues, said Kristi Mcginley, a UNC
graduate student.
They did try to help by getting space air conditioning units for a number of weeks and then
eventually compensating us for a few days without air. However, the number of issues and timeconsuming efforts we have had to go through to
have our requests met has been exhausting and
extremely frustrating.
UNC junior Dani Isetts said she has had a better experience with Chapel Ridge.
The management seems to be more on top of
getting information out to residents, and some
of our maintenance requests have been resolved,
Isetts said.
Grout said they have started to determine
what furniture, countertops and appliances
need to be replaced immediately so that on
move-in day, everything should be ready for the
new tenants.
She also said management has been making
efforts toward stronger community bonding and
catering resident events so they can appeal to the
UNC demographic.

facilities, he said.
Schwarzman scholarship applicants must complete essays on a
variety of topics, submit a thirty-second video and appear before a panel
of interviewers including prominent
figures such as Jared Cohen of
Google Ideas and former U.S. Army
Gen. David Petraeus.
For Seunik, the application
process was exceptionally rigorous. Seunik works for Innovations
for Poverty Action, a nonprofit
organization that looks at local

government accountability. Seunik

currently works in Uganda and only
found out about the scholarship
three weeks before the deadline.
I just got so wrapped up in
work I wasnt thinking about
things to come in the future,
Seunik said. This did not stop
him from completing the essays,
submitting his video and traveling
to London for his interview all
while working 12-hour days with
limited access to internet connection and electricity.

Seunik said he is most excited to

learn how China influences Africas
development and how this influence
compares with Western influence.
My focus of my application was
looking at how China affects Africas
trajectory, he said.
He said the entire process,
although intense, was enjoyable and well run, and hes most
excited to spend time with the other
Schwarzman scholars.

the stage Friday.
By Zoe Hazerjian
Staff Writer

Bluesy-pop singer-songwriter
Noah Guthrie is known for being
gleeful.
And on Friday, he will bring
that energy to UNC.
The Carolina Union
Activities Board is sponsoring
former Glee cast member
Noah Guthrie to perform at
the Student Union in the Great
Hall.
The event will be kicked off
by the Universitys very own
Loreleis a cappella group.
There will also be a special musical performance
by two members from the
locally based nonprofit, Musical

Empowerment.
Although this event is free
and open to the public, tickets to
attend are required.
There is a Facebook page for
the event, and free Insomnia
Cookies will be provided.
Senior Adeline Dorough plans
to attend this event and is looking forward Guthries performance.
I love a cappella and my passion for music in general really
drew me to the invite, Dorough
said.
I am really excited for Noah
Guthrie because he is so precious
and so talented; he has a really
great voice.
Dorough is also pleased that
the Loreleis will be performing.
I think this will be a really
cool partnership between the
Loreleis and Noah Guthrie,
Dorough said.
Its a cool blend between
our community and UNC and

the page said.
Senior Nylah Jimerson, chairperson of the fun committee at
CUAB, said they have a history
of bringing great performances
to the University.
Jimerson said this event
should meet past events bar of
excellence.
Its typical of a CUAB event,
in that you are going to have a
good time and meet some different people, Jimerson said.
Its really awesome Noah was

Hunger Lunch leaders hope to return by March

The organizations caterer could
no longer provide food to them.
By Maggie Budd
Staff Writer

Hunger Lunch has been missing in the Pit

this semester but its affordable meals will
be back soon.
Andrew Stowe is a co-chairperson of
Nourish-UNC, the Campus Y committee that
hosts Hunger Lunch. Stowe said the program, which sells rice and bean lunches as a
fundraiser on Wednesdays, has been temporarily discontinued because it was no longer
profitable for the caterer.
Our caterer, who is (Triangle Residential
Options for Substance Abusers), weve been
working with them for over 10 years, but its
not profitable for them to deliver to UNC anymore because theyre based in Durham, and
one of the core values of Nourish is fostering
mutually beneficial partnerships for everyone
we work with, and if its not profitable for them
anymore, we dont feel right kind of pushing
that and trying to make it work, he said.
Willie Lane, who works with TROSA
catering, said Hunger Lunch costs more than
it can bring in. Its not financially feasible to
do it, he said. It would cost you all so much
that youd hardly make anything off of it.
Hannah Sloan, Nourish-UNC co-chairperson, said the group is hoping to continue
providing meals in some way.
We still want to provide a low cost meal
to students, Sloan said. Thats been a really
valuable thing for students to have Hunger
Lunch around, so we want to find a way to
do that with a positive, again, mutually beneficial community partnership.
But TROSA does much more than just
catering.
What they do is provide residential care
for anyone who is struggling with substance
abuse, Sloan said. Its a really comprehensive
and admirable program model, and they have

Hunger Lunch is no longer held in the Pit, as it became no longer profitable for the groups caterer.

this program where they do really intensive

counseling for their residents, and they also
have a number of business opportunities.
Lane said the partnership with Nourish has
been a good experience for TROSA residents.
Thats played a big part, he said. Guys
that have come in and never cooked can now
prepare food, deliver food, so its been tremendous.
While Stowe said there are no definite
plans for what Hunger Lunch will look like
when it returns, he said Nourishs goal is to
host the lunch again March 2.
The beginning of this semester, were
working out how Hunger Lunch will operate, he said. If its getting a new caterer or

changing the model up, taking the first part

of the semester to figure out what the best
way to go forward will be.
Stowe said re-evaluating Hunger Lunch
and preparing for its future is exciting.
I think a lot of people have a misconception of what Hunger Lunch is in that
its fighting hunger, and thats a reasonable
assumption, but Nourish is a lot more than
just that, Stowe said.
Sloan said they are looking for new community partners.
Were looking for food, consistency and a
really positive partnership, she said.

The Sandi family works to bring awareness to childhood cancer after their son, Phineas, beat high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

7-year-old continues the fight

By Lindsey Hoover
Staff Writer

Car rider lines, long division and recess are the things
that usually make up the
daily life of a 7-year-old. But
Phineas Sandi is unlike most
children his age.
He has the privilege of
being able to say he is one of
five 2016 ambassadors for the
St. Baldricks Foundation and,
more importantly, that he has
overcome the battle against
childhood cancer.
Phineas, along with his
parents, works to advocate for
the issue of childhood cancer.
The Sandi family has not only
experienced great success, but
a great deal of loss, as well.
Nine years ago, Kristina
Sandi noticed a rash on her
16-month-old daughter,
Althea, that later turned out to
be petechiae. Althea was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Treatment plans were
implemented, but Althea never
made it to remission.
This type of cancer is
extremely hard to treat and
even if treatment is being
tried, its even harder to get

any patient into remission,

Kristina Sandi said.
Kristina and Carlos Sandi
werent done with their cancer battles just yet. Phineas
developed what looked to be
the same rash found on his
sister, along with a cold and a
slight fever that brought him
to the emergency room.
I met the family in the
emergency room prior to diagnosis and we all immediately
knew what was going to come
from the visit, pediatric oncologist Dr. Philip Roehrs said.
These symptoms led to
him being diagnosed with
high-risk acute lymphoblastic
leukemia.
Phineas saw a different,
more common type of cancer
than Althea, Kristina Sandi
said. A child who experiences
this type of leukemia can
expect about three and a half
years of chemotherapy, which
is extremely tough on such
young bodies.
The Sandi family was
under the care of Roehrs at
UNC Lineberger. Phineas
went through four months
of intense chemotherapy, but
had seen little success because

They really proved how much more needs

to be done to bring awareness to this issue.

he was chemoresistant.
Carlos Sandi saw a light
at the end of the tunnel once
he was introduced to Dr.
Daniel Lee, a St. Baldricks
Foundation Scholar at the
National Cancer Institute.
St. Baldricks Foundation is
the worlds largest volunteerpowered organization advocating for childhood cancer.
This led to Phineas joining
a group of similar patients
who had little to no response
to previous chemotherapy.
As Phineas went through
what was going to be his last
round of chemotherapy, a spot
opened up in the immunotherapy trial. A month later,
Phineas was cancer-free.
He came back to us after
going through the trial with a
full head of hair and looking
like a healthy kid, Roehrs said.
The Sandi family could say
proudly that they had and
still have a cancer-free son.

They approached this

in a positive way and read
as much as they could and
helped me help their child,
Roehrs said.
Jane Hoppen, director
of family relations for St.
Baldricks, has worked with
the family for seven months.
I came to know the family
on an advocacy perspective
and they really proved how
much more needs to be done
to bring awareness to this
issue, Hoppen said.
According to Kristina
Sandi, the death of their
daughter devastated the family, making them want to
move past life and push back
any thought of cancer.
They prove to be great role
models to many as they were
given a curse and turned it
into a blessing to those who
they reach out to, Roehrs said.

Professors printing needs vary

By Sofia Edelman
Senior Writer

In fall 2015, as many as

88,000 pieces of paper were
printed per day from the 60
printers across campus. The
average student printed 132
pages during the semester.
When students need to
print readings or assignments, the Carolina
Computing Initiatives printing program offers sustainable printing options.
Before student government helped Information
Technology Services create
CCI printing in 2006, the
University printed nearly 30
million pages per year, said
Jeremiah Joyner, teaching and
learning systems manager for
ITS. Now, UNC prints only
about 8 million pages per year.
The unfortunate thing
with (the old system) was that
people would go in there
was no system behind it
you would just submit your
print job, and it would go to
a printer, and youd walk up
there and stand with everybody else and try to find your
print job, Joyner said.
Along with purchasing
newer, cheaper printers when
some of the older models
began to break, CCI has measures in place to decrease costs
and increase sustainability.
We always use (30 percent) recycled paper, but we
also found a vendor close to
here who can sell us remanufactured toner, Joyner
said. Even though we have
expanded the service across
campus, our prices really
havent grown that much.
The way that CCI
(Printing) is set up is that
we know some people are
not going to use it, and some
people are going to use it a
lot, and what we do is that we
try to maintain our budget,

It doesnt make any sense to waste reams

of paper anymore.
Gregory Gangi

88,000

Peak pages printed per day

in fall 2015

Environment and ecology professor

and we try to stay within the

kind of constraints of what it
has cost before.
Environment and ecology
professor Gregory Gangi does
not require his students to
print their required readings
every night in an attempt to
save paper.
It just makes a lot of
sense with electronic storage. You can put something
on the cloud, and students
can access it, Gangi said. It
doesnt make any sense to
waste reams of paper anymore.
Gangi said he still uses
paper exams because grading
is easier and he said online
tests can tempt students to
cheat.
I guess my apprehension
about ever going to an e-exam
would be would it be under
control? If its still paper and
pencil its harder to cheat, and
if someone does its pretty
obvious because their eyes
arent where theyre supposed
to be, he said.
Gangi said he believes
laptops and other technology
create a distraction in class.
He said he was nearly able to
ban them because he does not
require his students to bring
in an electronic or tangible
copy of their last nights reading.
Everything that has to do
with paper is basically something youd have to do outside
of class, Gangi said. I guess
my students do use paper for
taking notes because I really
discourage laptops.
History professor Matthew
Andrews said he also banned
technology from his classes

BY THE NUMBERS

after his students were more

engrossed in the 2015 NCAA
basketball tournament than
in his lectures.
Unlike Gangi, Andrews
does require his students to
have a copy of their readings
during class.
Its changed dramatically.
They used to not have to print
anything because I let them
bring their laptops in, and
everyone looked at the documents on laptops, Andrews
said. But last semester, for
the first time, I banned laptops from my classes.
Andrews said he estimates
that each of his 385 students
prints approximately 100
pages of reading per semester.
Theres no perfect system
here, he said. One system
is students are not following
the rules and doing things
with their computers that Ive
asked them not to do, and I
hate playing police officer and
getting in a cat and mouse
game with them, but I also
love trees.
Andrews said he thought
computers could be used in
his classes if there was a way
to block students from accessing the internet, but overall
he said he is happy about the
way his classroom is run.
No one has complained. A
few people have told me they
liked it they didnt think
they were going to like it but
they did, Andrews said. But
Im pleased with it because it
has stopped a lot of distractions in our class.
Joyner said he believes one
day, with the help of technology, UNC can become nearly
paperless. Suzanne Cadwell,

We have students coming from various economic

You might have a student

Thats not necessarily

This past election in

Chapel Hill resulted in several
incumbents in the mayors
office and Town Council
being replaced by Chapel Hill
Alliance for a Livable Townsponsored candidates.
The turnover in incumbents is the result of several
ongoing trends, one of which
was the need for more affordable housing. An affordable
housing unit is affordable
to those who make 60 to 80
percent or less of the average
median income for that area.
According to U.S. Census
Bureau data, 23.1 percent
of Chapel Hill residents live
below the poverty line. At any
time there are approximately
300 people on the waitlist for
Chapel Hills public housing,
and 1,800 are on the housing
choice voucher waitlist, highlighting the need for more
affordable housing.
In March 2014, the
Town Council released an
Affordable Rental Housing
Strategy, listing out several policies that would give
developers incentive to build
affordable housing units.
However, state law makes
creating affordable housing
difficult.
North Carolina state law
bans rent controls on rental
properties, which means
that Chapel Hill cannot force
developers to set aside a portion of its housing units for
affordable housing, which it
does with for-sale properties.
This policy, called inclusionary zoning, requires projects proposing five or more
units to make 15 percent of
them affordable to those with
low income. Without the benefit of applying this policy, the
Town Council has been forced
to get creative.
(Affordable housing) is
something weve been grap-

working families

60 units

in Greenfield Commons
for seniors

23.1 percent
of Chapel Hill residents
living below the poverty
line

pling with for a while, said

council member Michael
Parker.
Changing the height limits
and density of buildings are
two ways the council incentivizes affordable housing, but
the town also partners with
nonprofit groups to build
affordable units.
First of all, the state
legislature hasnt done us
any favors, council member
Jessica Anderson said. We
can put limits on how high
buildings are, which gives
us negotiating power. In
exchange for that affordability, the town will increase the
density allowed.
Twenty percent, or at
least 300 units, of the new
development in the EphesusFordham development will be
affordable, and toward that
end, the Raleigh-based nonprofit Downtown Housing
Improvement Corporation
is working with the town to
create two affordable rental
communities.
Greenfield Place will offer
84 apartments for working
families. To meet the need
for housing for the swelling
senior population in Chapel
Hill, the new Greenfield
Commons neighborhood will
hold 60 units.
If were going to make
a big impact on affordable
housing, well need to make
partnerships with nonprofits,
the University and with developers, Parker said.

Comedy tour
teaches sex ed
By Ziyad Habash
Staff Writer

Writer Lux Alptraum and

actress Sharron Paul are coming to Chapel Hill and talking
about sex.
The Wonderful World
of Boning is a comedy tour
aimed at boldly exploring
sensitive subjects such as sex
education and reproductive
health by making people
laugh. The show will start at 9
p.m. at Local 506 tonight.
The tour began as
Alptraums idea she has
been working in sex education since she was 14.
Ive worked in sexual
education as a volunteer HIV
pretest counselor, which is the
first stage of counseling before
someone gets an HIV test,
Alptraum said. For several
years, I was as a sex educator with teenagers in an after
school program in New York
City and I also spent time
working a rape crisis center.
After working to solve sexual
health problems, Alptraum
conceived The Wonderful
World of Boning show. At
each tour stop, she invites a
famous friend to perform with
her for a set that is centered
around making fun of out-ofdate sexual education videos
from the 80s such as A Family
Talks About Sex, Whats
Happening to Me? and You,
Your Body, and Puberty.
Sophomore Addison Lalier
said comedy is an effective
way to communicate when
discussing sex education.
Its not the most glamorous topic, so people definitely
tend to zone out and disregard lessons, she said. I
think adding comedy helps
keep an audience engaged
and inevitably helps them

retain the information.

For her show in Chapel
Hill, Alptraum invited her
friend, actress and comedian Sharron Paul, who has
appeared on The Tyra Banks
Show and acted in Law &
Order: Special Victims Unit
and Girls are Roommates.
For a subject nearly everyone is interested in, there is an
abundance of misinformation
about sexual health. Paul said
that a comedy tour was the
best way to get people talking
about it constructively.
In my personal life, everyone wants to talk about sex all
the time, she said. We talk
about it in different ways, but
we are pretty much willing to
talk about it.
The Wonderful World of
Boning lampoons the awkward and low-budget videos
from sex education from the
80s, but there is still work to
be done in the modern day.
According to the Guttmacher
Institute, 27 states still do not
mandate that schools include
sex education. Twenty-five
states still stress abstinence
and abstinence-only philosophy in their curriculum.
For Alptraum those numbers dont add up.
I think that one of the
problems is that, for instance,
we dont treat math as something where we dont talk
about math until you are 18,
and then hand you a calculus
textbook, because 18-yearolds should be able to do calculus, she said.
But that is how we treat
sex! We dont talk about it
until you are 18 or until you
are married, and then we say
Congratulations, here is a condom, you know what to do.

Date Spots in Chapel Hill

By Breanna Kerr
Theres no avoiding it
dating is awkward. But
where you take your date
can make all the difference.
Here are a few solid suggestions.
Its officially too cold for
taking a stroll with a frozen treat, so maybe a cozy
alternative like Tru Wine
+ Deli is right for you. Tru
offers wines, beers on
draft, tasty sandwiches as
well as cheese and meat
plates.
Senior global studies and political science
major Millie Villacis loves
Trus dim lighting, comfy
couches and overall sophistication.
Ive been on a few dates
at Tru, and I just love it for
its hip ambiance and great
wine and cheese pairings,
Villacis said. To me, there
are no other places to take
a date in Chapel Hill.
For a more down-toearth vibe, Lindas Bar &
Grill might do the trick.
Lindas offers many
heartier food options like
loaded cheese fries. The
private wooden booths
provide an intimate
setting to get to know
your date a better. Senior
dramatic arts and communications major Natalie
Carney goes to Lindas for
a date sometimes.
Besides the cheesy fries
of course, my favorite part
about Lindas is just the
environment, she said.
Good people and good
food plus I can order
a hard cider and get my
date a beer, and hell never
know the difference.
Another classic date
spot on Franklin Street is
the Varsity Theater. The
theater is a good walking
distance from campus,
and its cozy atmosphere
is perfect to snuggle up
while enjoying a feature
film.

ITs time to find your own space.

until you get to the bar and

then stuff your jacket into
it so you dont have to hold
it all night.
Turtleneck sweaters:
Good news: the turtleneck
is back in style. This scarfsubstitute keeps you warm

and the trend has really

caught on so they can be
found in sleeveless, short
sleeve and long sleeve options. The turtleneck dress
is even catching on.
Knee-high boots: If
you still want to wear a

dress to the dance floor,

try pairing your outfit with
knee-high or even overthe-knee boots instead
of high heels. Tall boots
are warm, but manage to
be both fashionable and
comfortable.

who still live on campus,
the P2P is a perfect option

additional bonus.
But for those of us who
have ventured into the

one word: Uber.
If you do not yet have
the rideshare app, download it ASAP.
There is a convenient
tool on Uber that allows
you to split the ride cost
with up to four others.
--The UberXL feature
will come in handy if you
have several housemates.
Simply swipe to ensure
the car you request has

Pickled produce
takes high honors
Two local businesses
won recognition from
the Good Food Awards.
By Benjamin Albano
Staff Writer

Pickled veggies are a staple

of Southern culture.
Their sharp flavor coupled
with their distinct crunch create a unique eating experience
that adds color and texture to
meals that lack flavor. On Jan.
15, the Good Food Awards
committee awarded two local
farms multiple recognitions in
their pickled produce.
The Good Food Awards
recognize the kind of food
that brings people together
and builds strong, healthy
communities. The Good Food
Awards finalists and winners
are determined using scores
from blind tasting, as well as
a vetting process, which verifies that finalists and winners
meet industry-specific environmental and social criteria.
April McGreger, creator and
owner of Farmers Daughter
Brand, is a veteran Good
Food Awards winner.
We won our first award
in 2011, McGreger said. We
were really excited to win four
awards this year, beating our
record of two in one year.
Growing up in Mississippi,
McGreger recalls her mother

and grandmother always preparing fermented foods and

produce at home.
I started as a pastry chef
at Lantern in Chapel Hill,
McGreger said. I was also
really interested in local
Southern foods.
Her local support of farmers and their produce led to
an amount of locally grown
food that was too much to
consume, which is when she
decided to preserve what
she had bought. In total,
McGreger has been awarded
seven awards, all for various
canned or jarred preserved
foods. This year, it was her
ramp and mustard seed
kraut, ruby kraut, hot chili
okra pickles and bourbond
figs that took first place.
Pickling is a way to extend
the season, she said. We also
have a lot of sustenance farming tradition in the South.
Among McGregers award
winning krauts and okra pickles are the dill pickles of Two
Chicks Farm, created, owned
and operated by Audrey Lin
and Debbie Donnald.
The pair started Two Chicks
Farm in 2009, originally selling locally grown, organic veggies to local farmers markets.
Every once and a while, after a
sale at the market, they would
have left over produce. It was
during this moment when Lin
and Donnald started pickling
surplus goods.

We started focusing our farming in

what we can put
into jars.
Debbie Donnald
Co-owner of Two Chicks Farm

We would bring home

leftover vegetables and had
to figure out how to utilize
all the extra produce, so we
started pickling, Lin said.
In 2014, Donnald and Lin
decided to restructure their
enterprise, dedicating energy
toward the fermenting and
selling of jarred and canned
goods.
We started focusing our
farming in what we can put
into jars, Donnald said.
Donnald and Lin both say
one of their secret ingredients
to award winning pickles is a
lot of love and the ability to
grow ingredients in-house.
UNC first-year Souli
Athanasios Fertitta-Boutis
said he likes the crunch of a
pickle.
They have a good sound
whenever you chomp into
them, he said.
He said while his taste for
pickles isnt the most refined,
he would like to experience
what an award-winning pickle might taste like.

The Daily Tar Heel

New bus route in discussion

By Sarah Crump
Staff Writer

Chapel Hill Transit is

drafting its recommendation
for a new bus route and its
looking for residents input.
Chapel Hill Transit
hosted two public meetings
Wednesday to discuss the
new route, which will connect
the Eubanks Road Park and
Ride stop with the Southern
Village shopping center.
The proposed sevenmile bus rapid transit line
is a response to Chapel
Hill Transits North-South
Corridor Alternatives
Analysis Study to determine
an alternative for the safer
and quicker movement of
people along this section
of Chapel Hill. The study,
which began in January
of 2014, is the first step in
obtaining Federal Transit
Administration funding for
the projects construction.
At the meetings, Chapel
Hill Transit introduced six
alternatives for routes in the
North-South Corridor.
Mila Vega, transit service planner at Chapel Hill
Transit, said the demand for
more extensive transit services already existed in Chapel
Hill prior to the study.
Though buses in this corridor circulate roughly every
four minutes, at high-travel
hours, there is not enough
room for everyone waiting at
the stop.
The current system, the
way it is now, cannot handle
it, Vega said. Were looking
for a way to use or expand
on existing roadways to add

DTH/KATIE WILLIAMS
Chapel Hill Transit hosted meetings to discuss a route connecting the Eubanks Road Park and Ride Lot and Southern Village.

capacity to the system.

Vega said if plans for the
route move forward, the line
will likely operate for longer
hours, seven days a week.
Right now we just want to
see what the public thinks is a
good fit and, so far, the public
has generally been very supportive, Vega said.
She said Chapel Hill
Transit will use public input
and calculations based on
travel time and project costs
to make its decision on the
route. She said there are also
technical and policy committees who will provide
input.
Vega said once a decision is
made, Chapel Hill Transit will
submit the plan to the Town
Council for adoption.
Gavin Poindexter, senior
transportation planner with
AECOM Technical services,
said the transit line could
involve building new bus
lanes or converting existing
lanes into special bus lanes,

providing buses with priority

at intersections and building
nicer stations.
Its a high ridership route,
and it really feeds into growth
holes in the town, he said.
Chapel Hill resident,
Rosemary Waldorf, who was
the towns mayor from 19952001, attended the meeting
Wednesday and said she
thinks the line is a great idea.
Theres not a better
way to do it, Waldorf said.
There are certain parts of
the route, especially at the
intersection of Columbia
and Eubanks, where two
lanes are like bus lanes
because the buses get there
and just stop and stay.
Improvements will make
movement more feasible.
The last meeting to discuss
the bus rapid transit line will
be hosted from 11 a.m. to 1
p.m today in the West Lounge
of the Student Union.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Jean Beasley, on the human impact on sea turtles

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Drew Sheneman, The Star-Ledger

remember exactly where

I was, what I was doing,
and how dumbfounded I
felt when I heard the news that
actor Philip Seymour Hoffman
had died. I was sitting in the
car on Super Bowl Sunday
waiting for my dad while he
grocery shopped when The
New York Times notification
popped up on my phone. Just
a few nights before, I had
rewatched Almost Famous,
one of my favorite of Hoffmans
films, for what probably had to
be the 20th time. He was dead.
I was devastated. I didnt know
him. So it is with celebrity
deaths.
Albeit this wasnt the first
time a celebritys death felt
strangely personal, it took
me a while to accept the fact
that The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay Part I was the
last new film of Hoffmans Id
see. He was an actor who I felt
was the coolest member in the
weirdos of the world club. He
made me feel like it was okay
to be uncool, reinforced by his
best monologue from Almost
Famous where he tells the
young protagonist, The only
true currency in this bankrupt
world is what you share with
someone else when youre
uncool.
Last Monday morning, on
my early trek back to school, I
got another notification from
The New York Times that
rattled me just as much as
Hoffmans death did: David
Bowie, president of cool in the
weirdos of the world club, had
passed away.
I spent the rest of the ride
to school softly
okay, pretty
dramatically sobbing to his
greatest hits. Later, reminiscing with friends on campus
about his death, I started to
wonder about this type of
grieving. I didnt know him,
but his music was formative
for me in my teenage years
and still is to this day. How
could I be so sad? I knew
him about as well as I know a
passing stranger on Franklin
Street.
The truth is, death isnt
easy. No matter if this death
is of a close friend or a supernova celebrity whose song
Heroes made you feel okay
when people in high school
were just too small to understand you, death feels like it
happens to you even when you
arent the one who died. Those
left behind have to answer the
questions of morality, which
feel overwhelming to even
consider.
It may seem silly to mourn
the death of someone you dont
know, but those who loved
Harry Potter know how I feel
about Bowie in the wake of
their beloved Alan Rickmans,
aka Snapes, passing. Some
people we know so deeply
without ever meeting them,
and in the case of celebrities,
its because of their art. Those
stars we love seem immortal,
because they kind of are.
So, David Bowie is dead.
I am mourning in the best
way I know how: listening to
his music. Campus life keeps
moving, as it does in the wake
of anyones death. There was
no vigil here, except perhaps
small ones in dorms and in
Carrboro.
Rest in peace, Starman.
There is a better world waiting
for you, and someday these
tiny stars looking up at you
will meet you there.

Tips from a Chapel

The Worth of HBCUs

The HBCUs of the
UNC system are
invaluable to N.C.

he Board of
Governors and the
individual campuses of the UNC system
are undergoing leadership
changes and transitions
that could have a destabilizing effect on the status of
the five historically black
colleges and universities
within the system.
Despite this tumult and
the Boards recent emphasis on efficiency and
right-sizing, the Board
of Governors must remain
cognizant of the important role HBCUs play in
contributing to the state

economy, jobs and culture.

Elizabeth City State
University, facing both
declining admission rates
over the past five years and
the sudden resignation of
its chancellor in December,
is one of the universities
whose future is in question. However, the board
must recognize it is the
only public UNC university and one of the largest
employers in the northeastern region of North
Carolina. Recent reports
also suggest an increase in
admissions for next year
a positive upswing that
may be attributed to the
current national climate
regarding race awareness.
Yet the impact of
HBCUs cannot always

be quantified in terms of
enrollment and job output.
All five public HBCUs were
founded before 1911: their
founding, their legacies,
their alumni and their students all contribute to the
states history and culture.
HBCUs serve to empower
traditionally disenfranchised individuals.
The fact that no member
of the Board of Governors
has attended an HBCU
which represent almost a
third of the system schools
only exacerbates the
sensitivity with which
these issues must be handled by the board. We urge
the Board of Governors
to take a holistic view
when evaluating North
Carolinas HBCUs.

Measuring teaching
Teaching and
research require
personal balance

ome professors are

here to teach; others focus on their
own work. A majority fit
somewhere in the middle,
working hard to strike a
balance between creative
output and teaching.
As education debates
crystallize around undergraduates job prospects,
we need to remember
UNC exists not only to
teach but also to support
professors and students in
the astonishing, complex
project of knowledge production.
Professors paint murals,

evaluate HIV splicing,

compose poetry, challenge
school segregation and
further virtual reality.
UNC slowly continues
to democratize, extending
the promise of higher education to most. In doing
so, UNC accepts a role in
righting historic wrongs.
To disrupt the wealthy
white mans world, we
must disrupt the wealthy
white mans pedagogy.
Innovative and dynamic
teaching is instrumental
and we are in luck.
From the N.C. General
Assemblys $100 million
cuts to UNC funding, to
the Boston Consulting
Group-led reorganization
of New Orleans public
schools, disruptive change

is hot.
Pedagogy and research
will both come under
greater scrutiny in the
market-focused narrative
of the New University.
UNC should steer clear
of test-centered teacher
evaluation. In maintaining
its commitment to professors posts as teachers and
as academics, we must be
alert to the balance of that
dual role and be mindful
of the tremendous burden
these two tasks can bring
to bear.
We must take care that
expanding pedagogical
expectations do not come
at the expense of professors other work, work
which forms the creative
heart of the University.

QuickHits
Get out of here

The Sar-ald

Not accustomed

School is stressful. We get

that it is a part of the experience. What we
dont get is why
we were almost
kicked out of
our dorms last
night with a little over an
hours notice. Nothing says,
We care about you, like an
email basically telling us to
GTFO and beg friends to let
us stay in their houses or
sleep in Cobb Basement.

It is the most classic of stories: Two people of similar

ideologies finally
realizing their
affinity for each
other. This is
what we saw
play out during the Sarah
Palin endorsement of Donald Trump. The two were
meant to be. They both
share a love for speeches,
being outside mavericks
and incoherent arguments.

Margaret Spellings keeps

referring to students as
customers. Ms.
Spellings, we
know you are
busy turning
our school into
University of Phoenix, but
please consider using the
following words instead:
peasants, surfs or even proles. At least then it would be
explicit that the University
does not value us.

Wow, it really is Pat!

National failure

Good censorship?

Before we saw Gov. Pat

McCrorys actual video
message to
the Carolina
Panthers, we
thought Joanne
Spataros
impersonation was a little
over the top. We were dead
wrong. Thank you to Spataro for making the parody,
but more specifically, thank
you for leading us to the
real McCrory video.

We like Cam Newton as

much as anyone else over
hear at the DTH
opinion page.
But after reading
the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazettes
story about how former
pro football player Antwaan Randle El has trouble
getting down stairs and
remembering things at the
age of 36, we find it really
difficult to watch the NFL.

The news that ESPN is

barring its on-air talent
from discussing
political issues is
conflicting. We
like freedom of
expression and
will miss Bomani Jones political opinions, but maybe
its a good thing Curt Schilling, Stephen A. Smith, Skip
Bayless and Chris Broussard
wont be allowed to influence anyones vote.

TO THE EDITOR:
A FEW UBERisms:
Welcome back everyone,
and congrats to the class
of 2016. Im a local Uber
driver who has been serving Chapel Hill since before
Christmas break. If its
OK, Id like to share a few
ideas that would make for a
smoother ride.
1. Include an address
in your pick up and drop
off location. Call me crazy,
but this is really helpful.
My GPS has no idea where
Jackson Hall is.
The Use Current Location
feature is useless on any day
because it assumes that drivers are using Ubers navigation, which is the worst in
the industry. This is the reason almost all drivers have
their own GPS.
2. Include the name of
the apartment, random
building or business. 300
E. Main St. could be Cats
Cradle or any of its neighboring businesses. Many
shops in shopping centers
also share the same address.
Having a name eliminates guesswork, especially
at night and during inclement weather. These old eyes
are pretty much good for
slot machines and poker.
3. Oh yeah, Ive noticed
that Chapel Hill also has
loads of tucked away pocket
neighborhoods that only
National Geographic and
God have heard of, so
specifying which building
letter/number, duplex or
cul-de-sac will get me there
more quickly.
Street names alone are
of no help. No offense, my
Durham and Raleigh students forget these tidbits
as well.
4.) If you want to get
naughty with your pal in
my back seat, give me a
heads up so I can grab my
ear buds.
5.) If youve had a little
too much to drink (or way
too much to smoke), at
least make sure the address
on your ID is current.
You may also want to
make sure that the person
who answers the door actually knows who you are. (I
cant begin to tell you how
that one ended.)
8.) PUKERS: OK. Aim
out of the window. I promise to drive slow enough
to keep you from hitting
asphalt head first.
9.) One last thing if
youre in full costume and
want to hail stray animals
with your light saber um,
please dont. The cops dont
like that. (I cant begin
to tell you how that one
ended.)
Thanks for letting this
old sailor rant and for funding my new Harley.

graduate, died by suicide.

I didnt know her, and
I cant imagine what her
family and friends must be
going through right now,
and I want to tell them I
am so, so sorry for their
loss. She seemed like a
lovely person, and its unfair
that such terrible things
could happen to her or
to anyone. I also want to
extend a hand (so to speak)
to anyone else dealing with
mental illness.
To say its a serious issue
does not do the reality
justice. So few people have
any idea what its like to
deal with these things on
a daily basis, and it can be
really isolating and hard to
talk about. Ive struggled
(and still do) with some of
the same things Priya did,
and I know how hard it
can be to be in that kind of
pain and to feel like no one
understands or cares. So to
anyone out there dealing
with mental illness or other
difficulties, anyone else out
there who feels alone, who
feels hopeless, I just want to
tell you I care. What youre
going through is hard.
Theres nothing wrong with
you as a person, and you
deserve love.
There are people out
there, myself included,
who know what you feel
because weve felt it too.
And if youre considering
suicide, Im going to tell you
not only that I care if you
live, but that your struggle
is valid and your life is
important, and I hope that
you could someday see that
staying alive could mean
something wonderful for
you. To all of you, you arent
alone. You have a friend in
me and in many others who
care. If you can, it helps
to talk to a friend, family
member, RA, or someone
else who can listen and if
you dont think you can do
that for any reason, lifelines
are there too. The National
Lifeline is at 1-800-273TALK and the Trevor
Project has one at 1-866488-7386 for LGBTQ folks,
and they do listen. Im sorry
about all of this, friends,
and I wish I could say more.
No one should have to go
through this alone.

DTH ignored part of

Spellings past

Seek help if you suffer

from depression

TO THE EDITOR:
The Daily Tar Heels
front-page interview with
Margaret Spellings touted
her experience on the
board of the University of
Phoenixs parent company.
It glossed over an inconvenient fact: The University
of Phoenix paid nearly $80
million in 2009 to settle
charges that it had defrauded the U.S. Department of
Education. Experience in
the private sector could well
be valuable in Ms. Spellings
new role, but the University
of Phoenix is the Enron of
the education sector. A stint
there is nothing to brag
about on your resume.
