Parenting with few options FEMA to take

over Matthew

efforts in NC
Some students in eastern NC have
not returned to their homes yet.

Child care isnt always easy to access for student parents

By Jenni Ciesielski
Senior Writer

For many students, the first

day of classes brings a rush of
emotions anticipation, excitement, uncertainty for what
the next few months will hold.
These feelings were amplified in the spring for senior Kyle
Czarnecki, who spent the night
before in UNC Hospitals, where
his son, Tim, had just been born.
I woke up in UNC Hospitals
and walked over to campus for
my first day of classes, he said.
Since then, the biology major
has been balancing a full courseload and his now 10-monthold son with his wife Jennifer
Morgan, whos pursuing her
Ph.D. in public health at UNC.
Czarnecki is one of 4.8 million
undergraduate students across

the country who are parents, a

number that has grown over the
past decade.
Despite the increasing population, nationwide support for
these students has decreased.
In 2001, federal funding for
the Child Care Access Means
Parents in School Program
reached $25 million. That number declined to roughly $15 million in 2003 and has remained
steady since.
Lindsey Reichlin, a research
associate and program manager
at the Institute for Womens
Policy Research, said child care
on college campuses is limited
mostly due to expenses.
Theyre not typically profitable institutions, especially if
theyre there for low-income
parents and families, Reichlin
said. And they take up a lot of

resources that schools who have

been experiencing decreased
state investment just cant spare.
At UNC, student parents can
find resources and support with
UNCs human resources department and the Carolina Womens
Center.
Through its contract with the
Child Care Services Association,
the University offers child care
subsidies to help parents like
Czarnecki pay for day care.
UNC also operates the
University Child Care Center
at the William and Ida Friday
Center for Continuing Education
for students, faculty and staff,
with a monthly fee of $1,030 to
$1,380, before subsidies.
Clare Counihan, program
coordinator for faculty and
staff at the Carolina Womens
Center, said she works with 10

to 15 student-parents a year, but

she knows there are more who
dont know about the resources
offered.
Czarnecki said although hes
grateful for the financial assistance for child care hes received
from the University, he believes
a day care center on main campus would be beneficial and
justifiable given the number of
student-parents at UNC.
We pay a lot of fees for a lot
of things, and Im fine with fees
going to a gym even though I
dont use it, Czarnecki said. I
dont think its too much to ask
students to pay fees for something they dont use. Especially if
we had an onsite day care center
I could drop him off at for the
day and wouldnt have to worry

The American Red Cross closed its final

North Carolina shelter for Hurricane Matthew
victims on Nov. 14, leaving relief efforts to
FEMA and other groups.
Stan Morris, executive director of the
American Red Cross of Central North Carolina,
said FEMA will focus on long-term relief
efforts. FEMA announced Nov. 25 that 49
North Carolina counties are eligible to receive
grants for rebuilding infrastructure affected by
the hurricane.
After the storm hit in early October, the Red
Cross operated more than 80 shelters across
North Carolina. They also provided more than
1.36 million meals and snacks and over 101,000
overnight stays in shelters for people in need.
Approximately 100,000 North Carolina
homes were damaged in the hurricane, many
of which were in the eastern part of the state.
Morris said a large amount of the immediate
relief and shelters were set up by the American
Red Cross.
He said the majority of the shelters were set
up in community centers or local schools.
Usually, schools are centrally located, so we
take the closest facility possible for folks to get
to, he said. Then, we provide cots, blankets
and food, mental health services and, if theres
medication, nurses.
Gov. Pat McCrory declared the hurricane a
state of emergency on Oct. 3. The storm, which
has caused more than $1.5 billion in losses for
the state, hit North Carolina the hardest on Oct.
8 and 9, causing widespread flooding and 75
mile-per-hour winds.
Gov. McCrory held regional meetings
throughout November in three heavily afflicted
eastern counties Robeson, Edgecombe
and Cumberland to help figure out how to
improve disaster relief in the future. He will
hold a conference in Pitt County today, and one
in Lenoir County Dec. 2.
We are working hard to ensure that everyone affected by this storm has their voice heard
and receives the resources they require, and that
is why these meetings are so important, he said
in a press release.
In some severely flooded areas, school districts were shut down for an extended period of
time.
The Robeson County Public School District
cancelled school for three weeks after eight of

Congress votes We still went on to do what we had to do

The Housekeepers

Student Congress also approved

sensitivity training for members.
By Molly Looman
Staff Writer

Student Congress passed resolutions for

sensitivity training and to support sanctuary
campus status during their last general body
meeting of the semester on Tuesday.
Representative Manuel Hernandez brought
forth a resolution that would support the
Universitys efforts to make UNC a sanctuary
campus.
Hernandezs main concern was with undocumented students and their fears of deportation or
being treated differently by the University during
President-elect Donald Trumps presidency.
The fears that UNC students still have are
real and thats not gonna go away by saying
dont worry about it, Hernandez said.

Staff Writer

This week marks the 20th

anniversary of the signing of the
UNC Housekeepers Settlement
Agreement, an action that
secured more rights for workers.
The agreement was signed
on November 26, 1996 and won
UNC housekeepers increased
wages, better training and educational opportunities among other
things. The settlement also laid
the foundations for the creation
of a black cultural center on
campus, the Sonja Haynes Stone
Center for Black Culture and
History, where the celebration
of the anniversary was held on
Tuesday.
Al McSurely, one of the lawyers who represented the housekeepers in 1996, said he knew the
only way anything could change
was if the housekeepers orga-

nized.
That first meeting we had it
was 35 housekeepers meeting
together, he said. That in itself
was revolutionary. It was a direct
affront to the University. And I
kept saying to them we need to
file a grievance so if they fire you
or come after you we can say its
because you filed a grievance.
McSurely said the main reason
for filing the grievance was to
give the housekeepers a better
legal case against the University.
These black jobs had about 10
to 20 percent lower starting pay
than white jobs, McSurely said.
And that was a very key part of
our lawsuit that the University
had basically developed a whole
analysis that black people didnt
need as much money to live on as
white people and certainly didnt
need any promotions or training
or any way to move up.
Marcia Tinnen, one of the
housekeepers who worked with
McSurely to get the settlement,
said she and other housekeepers
were victims of sexist and racist
treatment.
We at that time were going

through a lot, she said. We were

being harassed on the job. It was
a lot of work for the pay that we
were getting. And, a couple of us
got together and said, Lets do
something about this, Tinnen
said. And a lot of people were
afraid, but we still went on to do
what we had to do.

involved in the process while he
was a student at UNC as well
as after, said the housekeepers

Best friends bring the Carolina Way to the silver screen

By Tess Bettinsoli
Staff Writer

JANE WESTER
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Five friends and former

UNC students completed
the ultimate UNC bucket list
together before graduation
last May. The last item to
check off the list was climbing
the bell tower as a group on
Senior Day.
Bryce Edwards, Joseph
Townsend, Patrick Hahn,
Teresa Nguyen and Faustina
Nguyen have been friends
since going to high school
together at Charlotte Catholic
High School.
The idea to complete
the bucket list began when
FallFest was cancelled their
first year, in 2012. The five
were looking for a way to get
involved, and Hahn found the
perfect opportunity when he
found an article in The Daily
Tar Heel about the ultimate
UNC bucket list.
Townsend said the group
became serious about finishing the bucket list together

after completing the 4th or

5th item on the list.
Are we actually gonna do
this, he said. All 100?
They did. And now theyre
making a movie about it.
The group of five filmed
themselves completing every
item on the list and will release
a documentary about their
endeavors by summer 2017.
Now, theyre campaigning
to raise about $12,000 to produce the documentary.
Townsend said they wanted
the documentary to capture
the essence of just how much
can happen in those four years.
More about capturing those
four years youre in college, he
said. Can you do everything?
How do you choose to spend
those four years?
Teresa said she thinks
people should be involved
with the campaign and/or the
documentary because its a way
to show the world what the
Carolina Experience is.
People are familiar with
the name of UNC, but not

many people outside of the

students and alumni know
what happens during our
undergrad lives outside of
classes, she said. People will
begin to understand what the
so-called Carolina Experience
is and then will gravitate to
our home away from home.
Their campaign for capital
launched Nov. 12 and will end
Jan. 12.
The money raised will go
toward hiring and paying people to help work on the project.
I want as many people as
possible to share in the fun
we had and hopefully become
aware of all the fun Chapel
Hill offers through the list,
Hahn said.
They are currently searching
for people who are interested
in helping edit, produce and
direct the documentary.
Some of their adventures
included watching the sun set
from Davis Library, rushing
Franklin Street after a UNC
victory and memorizing all
the words to James Taylors

DTH/JOSEPH TOWNSEND
Five UNC students created and completed a bucket list before
their graduation in May. They are producing a documentary.

Carolina In My Mind.
Teresa said her favorite
memory is trying all of the food
items on the list.
Lindas cheese fries, Mama
Dips, all of the Alpine bagelwiches, YoPo, Time Outs
cheddar-chicken biscuits,
Ye Olde, Maple View, taco
trucks, deep fried candy bars,
she said. One thing that

people probably know about

me is that I love food.
Teresa said the list was an
outlet for the group to make
their own adventure at UNC.
I hope that future generations of Tar Heels can take
from our list and make their
own bucket list for UNC.

UNC has a pretty sick

mens basketball team, right?
We are basically the best. We
have a few NCAA championships under our belt, and we
have our awesome coach Roy
Williams to thank for keeping
our guys on top.
Well, its the beginning of
basketball season which
means its Carolinas time to
shine. Whether you are a fan of
this sport or not, you cant help
but get excited about UNC basketball. Class of 2014 graduate
Chandler Rowland remembers
school spirit being huge.

I remember every year on

the day of the Duke game,
no one could concentrate in
class, she said. Ive never
been more excited. And when
you finally got into the Dean
Dome, and they lowered the
lights for the team entrance,
my heart would drop.
UNC basketball brings
people together to unite
against a common enemy.
The way it brings our
school together around this
common subject and watching
our peers work their ass off to
be the best is what I love about
basketball here, junior economics major Chad Kalil said.
With games happening

multiple times a week, our

fans are even more present
up and down Franklin Street.
Whether youre watching the
games in bars, in the Dome
or at home, youre having fun
cheering on the Heels.
November is especially
magical for UNC fans.
Its the most wonderful
time of the year when football
and basketball season overlap, said junior biology major
Kennedy Adams.
This is so true. Basketball
is happening all week and we
still get to watch NFL football
on Sundays. Amazing.
Besides the fact that
watching the games is excit-

ing, there are other (basic

bitch) perks to basketball
season. You can wear jerseys
to parties instead of getting
a cute outfit together. People
can post pictures in the
Dean Dome with basketball
puns. Bandwagon Tar Heels
come out to play. There is yet
another reason to hashtag
#DGTBAT on everything.
Something about this sport
has an effect on everyone.
Basketball is magical here,
and we are lucky we get to
call ourselves one of the best
in the nation.
Basketball in Chapel Hill
is revered like the most sacred
of holidays. Its one of the

only things that can take a

high-stress, cold Tuesday in
the winter and transform it
into a Friday in the summertime, junior journalism major
Gabriella Bulgarelli said.
People leave their classes,
roads are shut down and the
whole world kind of stops.
Listen yall. Were the best,
were going to excel this season
and were already doing well.
Get out to games if you can
and always sport that Carolina
Blue to show pride for your
team. Even if youre not big on
sports, you can be proud anyway because youre a Tar Heel.

Carrboro High students discuss race

Global cultures class led
the talk with community
By Olivia Ross
Staff Writer

Carrboro High School students

in Matt Cones global cultures class
concluded a semester-long unit
that investigated racial issues with
a panel discussion open to the community on Tuesday night.
The class gave a group presentation, then divided into nine groups,
each of which covered the story of
an African-American citizen killed
at the hands of law enforcement.
Over 230 attendees rotated
through the students mini-presentations, then gathered again to reflect.
Cone decided racial issues would
be the class focus this year due to
the prevalence of the issue.
Racism is all around us, but we
dont talk about it much, Cone said.
People say we talk about race too
much but if you ask them what
they mean, they dont really know.
In addition to extensive research,
students conducted their own interviews. The group that studied Eric
Garner whose chokehold death
by a Staten Island, New York, police
officer prompted national outrage in
July 2014 interviewed his mother,
among others involved.
CHS junior Lily Ervin was part of
the group who researched Terence

Crutcher, an African-American man

fatally shot in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in
September. Ervin said talking to
lawyers from the prosecution and
defense enhanced her understanding.
It really helped us throughout
our research, she said. Through the
disputes the lawyers had, we could
get a sense of what was really happening and why the trial was taking
so long. It also helped us sense the
role race played in the case.
Ervins group member, CHS
junior Amado Ruiz-Perez, said the
class taught him about racisms evolution throughout history, from Jim
Crow laws, to segregation, to lynching, to mass incarceration.
I got a deeper understanding of
how rooted racism is and how this
isnt just a problem now its in our
history books and a case thats stayed
around today, Ruiz-Perez said.
CHS senior Jack Himmel said
researching Keith Lamont Scotts
death helped him to understand the
role media plays in framing cases of
violence against black men.
Scott was a 43-year-old AfricanAmerican man who was fatally shot
in Charlotte this September.
The students began the year by
reading Just Mercy, lawyer Bryan
Stevensons account of racial inequities in the justice system. They

later met Stevenson on a trip to

Montgomery, Alabama. They also
visited Tuskegee University, a historically black university, and scenes
of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Cone said an especially poignant
moment occurred at Tuskegee,
when a chaperoning P.E. teacher,
John Alcox, told the students that
if HBCUs didnt exist, he wouldnt

have attended college or been with

the students on the trip.
It was a moment where the kids
realized that racism wasnt something that happens out there, that
theyre seeing someone they know
who has a story deeply impacted by
race, too, Cone said.
Frank Porter Graham Bilinge
teacher Barbie Garayua-Tudryn,

who attended the event, challenged students to take what theyve

learned out into the world.
The challenge for you is living in
a generation where everything is like
that, she said. What are you going
to do now after facing the reality
that things are complex?

UNC faces first true road test at Indiana

The Tar Heels will
take on the Hoosiers
tonight at 9 p.m.
By Sam Doughton
Staff Writer

The No. 3 North Carolina

mens basketball team is fresh
off a red-hot trip to Hawaii,
sweeping the field en route to
a Maui Jim Maui Invitational
title and earning its best
start to a season since 20082009, when the Tar Heels last
won the national title.
But as Coach Roy Williams
noted, UNC has yet to face a
true road test against a toptier opponent.
That will be remedied
tonight, when the Tar Heels
(7-0) travel to Bloomington,
Indiana, to take on No. 13
Indiana (4-1) in the ACC/Big
Ten Challenge.
Here are three things from
Tuesdays press conference
to look out for ahead of the
game.

Williams 1,000th game

The faceoff against Indiana
will be Williams 1,000th
game in his career as a collegiate head coach.

But Williams noted he has

a lot more games under his
belt including five years of
coaching in high school and
eight years coaching the UNC
Junior Varsity team when he
was an assistant coach under
Dean Smith.
The milestone isnt weighing heavily on his mind.
Its something Im proud
of, but I dont spend any time
thinking about it, Williams
said. Sundays game is going
to be 1,001.

Defensive dominance
UNC has been impressive
defensively this season, holding opponents to an average of 65.6 points per game
through the first seven games.
Junior Joel Berry thinks
experience has been key to
the strong start.
We have veterans and
returners from last year that
knew that once we stepped up
our defensive game, we were
able to win games, he said.
Though certain facets of
the defense like Berrys job
on the ball after picking up
the point guard in the backcourt have been excellent,
Williams and Berry agree
theres room for improvement.

Once we stepped
up our defensive
game, we were able
to win games.
Joel Berry
Junior point guard

Williams noted the lack

of an interior shot blocker, a
role Brice Johnson played a
season ago.
Brice erased a lot of mistakes, Williams said. We
dont have the shot blocking
Brice gave us.
Berry said closing out on
shooters and defending drives
down the middle of the lane
still need work. But he added
its hard to be upset with the
defensive effort so far.
Weve done a good job
trying to stop teams from
scoring and not just trying to
outscore teams all the time,
he said.

First true road test

DTH FILE/SARAH DWYER

UNC guard Joel Berry (2) looks for an open pass in the teams game against Long Beach State
on Nov. 15. The No. 3 Tar Heels take on the No. 13 Indiana Hoosiers in Bloomington tonight.

The matchup is UNCs first

true road game of the year
against a top-25 opponent,
and Assembly Hall has a reputation as one of the toughest
venues in the country.
Williams thinks the

teams games at Hawaii

and Tulane, in addition to
the Maui Invitational, will
make the tough road environment a little easier than
usual for his first-years. But
he knows those crowds are

History of hip-hop class dances

through generations of culture
The class will host a performance
on Dec. 1 in the Stone Center.
By Ivy Ingle
Staff Writer

Students in The History of Hip-Hop

Culture are using their final project to create
discussion about hip-hop culture throughout
the generations.
Junior Jihanne Burgess said early in the
semester, professor Perry Hall posed a question to the class: Does hip-hop live in hip-hop
lives?
It was kind of a question that provoked
us all to think about the way we perceive
rap in our generation as opposed to how rap
was perceived in other generations, Burgess
said.
Theres been the notion that hip-hop is
dead and then there are some people who
believe its not dead at all and its very much
alive and its thriving.
The final project will be an event entitled
Hip-Hop Lives in Hip-Hop Lives, on
Thursday at 6:30 p.m. in the Hitchcock room
of the Stone Center.
The event will include performances by
local artists and student hip-hop dance
groups like Kamikazi and Moonlight Hip
Hop Dance Crew.
The class also put together a video in
which they interview students and faculty
members about what hip-hop means to
them.
With this event we kind of wanted to
focus on really defining what hip-hop was to
different generations, and I guess ultimately
answering the question of, Is hip-hop still
alive? Burgess said.

Hall said when students are allowed to do

extracurricular activities for a class, it lets
them use their creativity.
He said he hopes this project will give his
students that opportunity.
Its just to shine a light on the diversity and
force conversations that otherwise might not
be had in a final exam or a paper or anything
like that, Burgess said.
Though Hall gave some direction with
logistics and suggestions, he said he tried to
impose as little as possible because he wanted
the students to take the lead.
What I notice is that once students get
engaged, they kinda take it on and start owning it, Hall said.
Its something thats part of their own selfexpression, and it really does energize them.
Creativity emerges and leadership emerges
because they have to work in groups, and it
works out pretty well as a capstone experience
for the class.
Junior Charles Smith said he hopes those
who attend the event will gain an appreciation
for hip-hop, and that people can recognize its
relevance across generations.
I think we want to be able to combine the
two generations and being able to just bond
over a common interest, Smith said.
The event will conclude with a panel of
faculty members and students. The panel is
expected to address a variety of issues, including how race, gender, art and fashion and
activism are discussed and expressed through
hip-hop.
I feel like its beneficial because it forces
people in the class and it forces people that
attend the event to think about the genre from
different perspectives, Burgess said.

Ohio State attack prompts

UNC Public Safety to plan
Public Safety uses events likes
this to draw up best practices.
By Carina McDermed
Staff Writer

Eleven people were injured after a student

at The Ohio State University drove a car into
a group of people Monday morning, left the
vehicle and stabbed passers-by with a knife,
according to authorities.
Police responded to the scene immediately
and fatally shot the suspect, but the campus
remained under lockdown for an hour and a
half.
Police currently believe Abdul Artan, a
Somali citizen studying at OSU, was inspired
by ISIS propaganda. Artan posted on his
Facebook page Monday morning before the
attack urging America to stop interfering
with other countries and Muslim people.
ISIS has also claimed credit for the attack
and called Artan a soldier, though there is
currently no proof the attack was actually
planned by the terrorist group.
By Allah, we will not let you sleep unless
you give peace to the Muslims, he wrote.
You will not celebrate or enjoy any holiday.
Michael Drake, president of OSU, encouraged the public not to jump to conclusions
about the attack in a news conference
Monday.
We all know when things like this happen
that theres a tendency sometimes for people
to put people together and create other kinds
of theories, he said. We dont know anything
that would link this to any community. We
certainly dont have any evidence that would
say thats the case.
Randy Young, a spokesperson for the UNC
Department of Public Safety, said the campus

police take events throughout the country

into account when developing UNCs safety
protocol.
We discuss not only high-profile events
that are coming up on campus, but also other
things that happen off the campus, such as
tragic events like this one, he said.
We try to draw from them the best practices the things that work and the things
that dont.
Young said the department has been evaluating the efficiency of emergency messaging
protocols over the past year. This summer,
they implemented a program that sends out
Alert Carolina messages to the campus with
the push of one button.
If we have identified an imminent threat
on the campus, this cuts down the many
steps of sending those notifications out to
the campus into the push of one button, he
said. As a result, it streamlines communication efficiency from 15 minutes to about three
minutes.
Stephanie Monmoine, a sophomore at
UNC, said she doesnt think yesterdays
events will affect the way she acts on campus.
I dont think something of that magnitude
hits you until you have a personal investment
in it, she said.
Monmoine said the scariest part of the
attack is how it could have easily happened
at UNC.
It could happen at Ohio State it could
happen anywhere, she said.
Young said constantly re-evaluating campus safety protocol is key to preparing for
attacks like the events at OSU.
Our procedures are in a constant state of
review so that if the unthinkable happens, we
have the best practices in place.

Karen Salinas said the waitlist to get in the center now

Reichlin said the lack of
resources for student-parents
is partially due to a general

lack of awareness.
We have seen kind of an
uptick in the amount of coverage in the media this population has been getting in recent
years, she said. Its not at the

As Student Congress, our job

this bill will do.
Due to the amount of discussion over the resolution,
Congress held a roll call vote.
The resolution passed with a

17-7 majority.
Finance committee chairperson Ben Albert presented
a bill that proposed a $10
increase in the Student
Organization Fee.
Theres over 600 groups
total on campus it takes a lot
to support all these groups in a
vibrant campus, Albert said.
The fee would funnel into
two sources: $5 would go
directly toward increasing

money available for organizations and $5 would go to

the Student Activities Fund
Office. Both Albert and
Speaker of Student Congress
Cole Simons spoke to the
importance of SAFO having
its own source of funding.
It needs a sustainable
funding source thats guaranteed every year, Albert said.
This change would mean
that SAFOs available funds

would not come out of

Student Congresss budget,
thus freeing up more funds
for the Finance Committee
to distribute. The bill passed
with a majority. For this to
actually take effect, the student body will have to vote on

Another bill, presented

NC public charter schools face closures

Study shows the
schools enroll fewer
low-income students.
By Rebecca Ayers
Staff Writer

The potential closure of

two North Carolina charter
schools has prompted controversy about their intentions
and funding.
Charter schools receive public funding, but have more freedom with financial and administrative operations than public
schools. They have increased
academic accountability, and
low test scores can result in losing a charter.
Charlottes Community
Charter School is facing clo-

sure after 20 years due to low

test scores and enrollment.
On Nov. 16, the N.C. Charter
Schools Advisory Board
demanded Raleighs largely
minority Hope Charter
Leadership Academy improve
its test scores or face losing
control of the school.
Terry Stoops, director of
education studies at the John
Locke Foundation, said the
closures show the schools are
being held accountable.
Charter schools that do
not meet academic or operational standards are closed
and they should be, Stoops
said. On the other hand, failing district schools continue
operating indefinitely, which
does a disservice to taxpayers,
parents and, most importantly, the children who are forced

to attend those schools.

Stoops said charter schools
freedom benefits public
schools.
One of the advantages to
implementing a strong system of charter schools is that
they can serve as laboratories
of innovation that inform
instructional practice in district schools, he said.
For a charter school to
open, it must be legally
authorized. Douglas Lauen,
an associate professor of public policy at UNC, said North
Carolinas authorization process is highly regulated compared to other states.
When N.C. charter schools
were first created, some of
the schools hoped they would
serve the needs of more disadvantaged students, said

Helen Ladd, a public policy

professor at Duke University.
A study conducted by Ladd
and two other Duke researchers showed an increasingly
disproportionate amount of
middle-class white students
attending charter schools.
Lauen said initially charter
schools had disproportionately large African-American
student populations.
However, the proportions
of minorities have drastically changed in N.C. charter
schools because of parental
preferences, Ladd said.
Some of the charter
schools are better than traditional public schools, which
is a strong incentive for
white middle-class parents
to choose the charter school
option, she said.

Jennifer Lucas, co-chairperson of the North Carolina

Alliance for Public Charter
Schools, said the schools offer
parents a choice for their childrens education.
When my oldest daughter
was ready for kindergarten,
we lived in a great neighborhood and had a great school
system and I still opted for a
charter school, Lucas said.
Some people have this misconception that people choose
charter schools because they
live in a bad district.
Ladd said N.C. charter
schools, unlike public schools,
do not offer transportation or
meals.
It sends a signal that charter school is not very open
to disadvantaged students,
because most disadvantaged

students need public transportation to have access to

The difference in poverty
rates between a majority of
N.C. charter schools and
district schools is the biggest
poverty rate disparity in the
country, according to a study
conducted by Nat Malkus,
a research fellow at the
American Enterprise Institute.
Barnett Berry, founder and
CEO of the Center for Teaching
Quality, said charter schools
are turning public education
into a private commodity.
When you compete for
those dollars, the kids are the
losers, and thats not good for
our society and its not good
for our democracy, Berry said.

Turkish cultural center approved by town council

By Erica Johnson
Staff Writer

When Aziz Sancar moved

to the U.S. from Turkey, his
wife, Gwen, said he felt isolated being so far away from
his culture.
To help connect the local
Turkish community and
inform people about the culture, they created a Turkish
cultural center in Chapel Hill.
The Sancars run the towns
current center, Carolina Trk
Evi, but it has limited space
so they decided to create a
new center.
On Nov. 21, the Chapel Hill
Town Council unanimously
voted to allow Gwen and Aziz
to build the Sancar Turkish
Cultural and Community
Center.
The new center will be
located at 1609 E. Franklin
St. and will also include a
residence for up to six Turkish
scholars and students to live.
The main center will be in
a separate building, allowing
the Sancars to host cultural
events during the week. It will
be equipped with a kitchen,
110-person meeting hall, four
classrooms and a library.
Gwen said there will be a
garden because being outdoors
is a big part of Turkish culture.
She said the new center will be
an improvement from the cur-

rent center.
We are inhibited, if you
will, in holding a lot of events
there, except on weekends
since we want the scholars
to have peace and quiet to
study, Gwen said.
Chapel Hill Town Council
member Nancy Oates said the
new center will demonstrate
Chapel Hills dedication to
the Turkish community.
In an increasingly hostile
world, Oates said the center
will show the towns acceptance of diversity.
While many neighbors are
excited about the center now,
some were conflicted initially,
said Chapel Hill Town Council
member Jessica Anderson.
The center sits on a busy part
of Franklin Street, but it backs
up to the quiet residential
community on Velma Road.
Anderson said this center
will provide local Turkish
people with a place to celebrate holidays, hold special
events and teach their kids
about Turkish history.
I think that is a huge addition for them, but also for the
rest of us who want to learn
more about different cultures, she said.
Some Velma Road residents didnt want the center
to increase traffic and bring
the bustle of Franklin Street
into their neighborhood.

DTH FILE/LYDIA SHIEL

Aziz Sancar stands in the home he owns and runs for students from Turkey to adjust to life at UNC on Wednesday Oct. 28, 2015.

The Sancars worked with

them by planting trees and
bushes to beautify the area and
limit walking traffic.
Integrating the community
into the center is especially

important to Gwen, who said

her husband, who received
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
in 2015, faced cultural challenges after moving to the
U.S. He quickly realized that

many Americans had little

knowledge of Turkish culture.
As a proud Turk, he
thought they should know
more about modern Turkey,
not just the Ottoman Empire,

but about what Turkey had

become after World War I, in
terms of education and scholarship, she said.

In a storm of survey requests, students still arent convinced

By Madeleine Fraley
Staff Writer

Every year UNC students

experience the familiar pleading Facebook, GroupMe or
email request to take a survey
for class.
Many classes at UNC a
research institution have
a research requirement in
which students are required
to participate in surveys for
a grade, while other classes
are centered around data and
polling, requiring students to
create surveys and reach out
to peers for responses.
Students in Lois Boyntons
Media Ethics class have to

complete surveys to fulfill this

requirement for five percent
of their final grade.
Boynton said this requirement shows students the
value of research, especially if
they will be conducting it in
their future careers.
From the other perspective it also allows the people
who are doing the research
to have access to people who
can give them their views,
Boynton said.
Boynton said while some of
her students find the surveys
they participate in to be interesting, the majority see it as
another hurdle to jump.
Is it the most powerful

thing in the world as an educational tool? I dont know, she

said. I would guess based on
some of students responses,
they dont think so. But when
the dots are all connected,
some of them are, oh, I get it.
Sophomore Tara Nath said
her BUSI 406: Principles of
Marketing class has a research
requirement, and she doesnt
see the connection between
the requirement and her class.
I understand why its necessary and its an easy grade
so Ill do it, but sometimes
it seems unnecessary and I
dont want to do it, she said.
For other students, surveys
are more than just five per-

cent of their grade. They have

to design and interpret surveys for data-centered classes,
like in Amy Sentementes
POLI 209: Analyzing Public
Opinion class.
In Sentementes class,
students use Qualtrics software to create public opinion
surveys on political issues
and are usually required to
get between 200 and 250
responses to their surveys.
Sentementes said her
students learn a lot through
these surveys because they
are mimicking the entire
research process that political scientists who do survey
research go through.

They learn about what does

sometimes happen in the real
world when getting responses,
when people dont want to give
them to you, get bored, exit the
survey its a learning experience for that, she said.
Senior Karthik Sundaram,
who had to make and market surveys in his BUSI 505
class, said it can be difficult
to get respondents which
is where the social media
requests come into play.
Whether its the sample of
people that youre getting or
the kind of responses youre
getting, I think its hard to feel
like youre getting what you
want to out of data, he said.

But I think thats probably a

consistent problem whether
youre a student or statistician.
After personally messaging friends to participate,
Sundaram said he still finds it
hard sometimes to get useful
responses to these required
surveys, and he and his classmates have discussed whether
these surveys are useful.
Its kind of busy work in
the sense that you wanna just
do it so your professor thinks
that youre putting in that
time that you need to, and
that youre putting in that
effort, he said.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Alexander Peeples

t was easy to lose in the

ongoing rumors surrounding the State
Department, but Presidentelect Donald Trump made a
major announcement for the
future of the federal health care
system on Tuesday. He selected
U.S. Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., to
become the next secretary of
health and human services.
Its a long title for a littleknown congressperson, but
his nomination suggests that
Trump will make good on
his promise to destroy the
Affordable Care Act and possibly restructure Medicare and
Medicaid. Price has been a
strong opponent of the ACA,
and as a doctor, he originally
got into politics to facilitate a
privatized vision of medicine.
The ACA was far from a
perfect bill. Almost no one
believes the best version of
U.S. health care looks like
Obamacare. However, North
Carolina has seen how rejecting any health care expansion
can harm a state, and it needs
to be on the forefront of creating viable health care options
for all of its residents.
N.C. has had a mixed relationship with the ACA in the
past. Despite having one of the
highest ACA enrollment rates
in the country, the N.C. General
Assembly rejected the states
Medicaid expansion. This
meant that N.C. refused over
$20 billion in federal health
care funding, which directly
resulted in over 500,000
people not having health care.
It helped cause a health care
system where thousands of jobs
are constantly at risk and 16
rural hospitals at least 35 miles
from the next closest hospital
are at high risk of closure.
The people at risk under
these health care failures
are those most likely to need
health care. The working poor,
people of color, rural North
Carolinians and permutations
of the three are all more likely
to need health care and have
been most disadvantaged by
the systems failures.
The future of our system
cannot replicate this past, and
with the coming destruction of
the ACA, the solutions of the
present wont be feasible after
Jan. 20. Presumptive governorelect Roy Cooper expressed
an interest in expanding
Medicaid under the ACA, but
the future of health care in N.C.
will be decided on new fronts.
Expanding access, decreasing
cost and ensuring quality care
will continue to be priorities,
but instead of relying on the
framework of the ACA, Cooper
will need to help craft new
state-specific legislation.
Such efforts might include
setting limits on cost, creating
state marketplaces to expand
care, or reforming quality
standards for N.C. Bipartisan
efforts to accomplish similar
goals have failed in the past
in part because of partisan
political objections to the ACA.
Hopefully, N.C. legislators will
move past partisan labels and
create a health care system in
our state that does more to
support all its residents.
If not, we need to hold them
accountable through advocacy networks like the North
Carolina Justice Centers
Citizens for Responsible
Health Care. Health care in
America continues to be broken, but N.C. should come
together to start fixing it.

Turning Beck time

We can all learn
from Glenn Becks
change of heart.

016 was truly the

year of anything
can happen. In
the most obvious ways,
it set the stage for major
changes that are going to
come in the political and
international spheres of
the world.
It seems as if the world
had been living in a perpetual status quo, with
different ideas for directions on where to go from
the norm.
In many cases, the far
right and silent majority
have won, leaving many
of those who generally
aligned with that party to
be ecstatic.

Except for, somehow, one person: Glenn

Beck. In the wake of all
major changes that have
occurred this year, nothing seemed as shocking as
Becks.
Formerly known for his
rants about new world
orders and conservative
ideals, Becks transformation on many issues has
been remarkable from the
standpoint that they are
essentially the complete
opposite of everything he
has generally preached.
He was once one of
President Obamas harshest critics, but he is now
thanking Obama for
changing him.
Once opposed to the
phrase Black Lives
Matter, even leading an
All Lives Matter parade

in Birmingham, Alabama,
he now encourages conservatives to listen to the
movement.
Regardless of which
side you stand on with
these issues, lets praise
Becks open-mindedness
to new ideas and perspectives.
In the midst of people
who are so stuck on their
beliefs and unwilling to
budge or compromise on
major issues, Beck has
shown that he is willing to
do both.
Of course, there are
many things Beck has
stuck to, but his change on
major issues shows that
he can critically challenge
conventional wisdom. In
a way, we can all learn
something from Glenn
Beck.

The Fieri Next Time

Guy Fieri serves up
what Democrats
need most.

riends, Carolinians,
countrypeople, lend
me your ears. I have
come to praise Guy Fieri,
not to bury him. For too
long, the metropolitan elite
have critiqued Fieri as a
frosted-tipped oaf. We have
mocked Fieris quest for
Flavortown, viewing it
a celebration of American
Gluttonous Excess over
Refined Culinary Palettes.
In our current political
landscape, Flavortown
now seems much more
appetizing than Trumpville.
As the Left attempts to
regroup, Fieri might provide
a way forward that leaders
in the Democratic Party have
not.

David
Farrow
Senior public
policy and
cultural
studies
major from
Charlotte.
Fieri has shed the liberal
elitism that has plagued both
food culture and Democratic
politics. Regardless of
whether a restaurant serves
chili in a Styrofoam cup or
tacos filled with crickets,
Fieri, who has trained in
France, will engage with a
communitys favorite food.
While cosmopolitan foodie
culture increasingly dictates
whats trendy, Fieri holds his
ear to the ground, searching
out the peoples choice as
opposed to Yelp reviews.
The Democratic Party this
election failed to understand
the public, from its need for

economic reform to its virulent racism and sexism. Fieri

is in the trenches, learning
what the people want in his
self-proclaimed role as the
ambassador to Chimichanga
Flavortown.
Beyond understanding, Fieri engages in the
redistributive politics lacking from the mainstream
Democratic Party. When he
goes to small town USAs
burger joint, his visit brings
a flood of customers to support small business.
Both parties have played
lip service to small businesses, but Fieri acts through
targeted intervention and
stimulus orchestrated by a
centralized apparatus in
his case, the Food Network.
In these dark times, the
bleached blond glow of
Fieris hair might just be the
beacon we need to guide us
through Trumps America.

Dear Bruce,
Id like to thank you for
devoting time at the Nov.
18 Faculty Council meeting to our campus communitys reactions to the
presidential election. Your
moderation of a discussion
including Chancellor Carol
Folt, Provost Jim Dean,
Associate Vice Chancellor
for Campus Safety and Risk
Management Derek Kemp,
Director of UNC Public
Safety Jeff McCracken and
others was testimony to
your distinguished leadership. Its imperative that
we reach out to those who
would be most vulnerable
if certain conditions came
into being under the next
administration.
You may remember
that you characterized
as academic speculation,
inappropriate for the meeting, my question to Chief
McCracken about the UNC
polices role in the hypothetical scenario of a state
law that would criminalize
people, including some
of our own students, for
being in the United States
without documentation.
But my aim was to expand
the discussion. To reassure
students and faculty concerned about what might
happen to undocumented
immigrants and people of
Muslim background, the
speakers explained current
policies and practices.
Though the reminder
that Carolina embraces
all forms of diversity was
helpful, people are apprehensive not about current
conditions but rather what
may come. Yes, we believe
in the Carolina Way, but
when measures may be
imposed in contradiction
to our moral principles, its
time to refocus the subject.
Here are some examples.
On Nov. 19, The New York
Times ran an editorial criticizing Sen. Jeff Sessions,
President-elect Trumps
current pick for attorney
general, for among other
reasons that hed likely
favor local police involvement in pursuing undocumented immigrants. And
I remind you of the 2005
immigration bill passed
by the U.S. House of
Representatives, fortunately defeated in the Senate,
that would have made it
a crime for non-citizens
simply to be on U.S. soil
without papers. Is it safe
to believe we wont soon
see efforts to resurrect this
bill? No.
If we really want to
reassure the most vulnerable, we need to talk about
what we at Carolina will
do in the likely event that
circumstances change. To
this end, my question was
of vital interest to our community.
My personal background
may increase my sensitivity
to these issues. Although
I was born a U.S. citizen

and dont practice Islam,

my heritage ties me to the
Arab and Muslim worlds.
Shortly after Sept. 11, 2001,
my father (who was 75) and
I were each investigated by
the FBI on suspicion of terrorism, in an operation in
which some 20,000 people
of Arab and Muslim origin
were interviewed, resulting in no arrests. In 2007,
after I wrote a letter to the
News & Observer criticizing another readers view
of Islam as an inherently
violent religion, a severed
pigs head turned up in our
driveway in Carrboro. On
the scale of things, these
are mild incidents. But
theyre one of the reasons
why I join many at UNC
in anticipating that both
government measures and
citizen initiative will gain
strength and legitimacy
under the coming administration.
I firmly believe that
those facing no threat will
understand this and be
allies, as long as theyre
open to frank discussion. My respect for your
leadership gives me every
confidence that youll allow
Faculty Council to be a
forum for these matters.
Lets call that the
Carolina Way.
Thank you very much.

Construction is more
than an annoyance
TO THE EDITOR:
I wanted to add to a
point made in a recent
article entitled First-years
start petition to show their
annoyance with construction at Ehringhaus. While
I appreciate the exposure
to our so called annoyance,
I feel that our message has
been somewhat misrepresented. We are not merely
annoyed. Housing is a
service just like all the other
services that we pay for
here at UNC. Considering
that, one of the major parts
of the service we pay for
is to have a space that we
can call our own, a place
to study and to sleep. That
hasnt been fulfilled for
sixth floor Ehringhaus residents to the same extent as
it has for residents who pay
exactly the same price.
Perhaps we could be
more understanding if the
construction was urgent or
unavoidable, but as it was
explained to us, this is routine maintenance. This begs
the question, why couldnt
this routine maintenance
take place over the summer when the building was
mostly empty?
Annoyance is a big part
of our first-year housing
experience, but it is legitimized by the fact that poor
planning has denied us of
some of the basic parts of
the services that we pay for,
and there has been no sort
of reparation for that.
From everyone who is
exasperated in Ehringhaus,
warmest regards.
