Coal plant on campus is here to stay

UNCs coal-free plans have
been postponed to 2050
at the earliest.
By Sofia Wilhelm
Staff Writer
UNC is the only college in the
state that has a coal plant on cam-
pus.
In 2010, former Chancellor
Holden Thorp announced that UNC
would be coal-free by 2020. Now,
that goal has been postponed by 30
years.
The whole country has to
become zero emissions by 2050
not just UNC and we should be
doing it first, not last, said John
Bruno, UNC biology professor.
The plant, which heats and pow-
ers 175 buildings, including UNC
Hospitals, has 75 to 80 employees
and has been around since 1940. It
provided electricity for both Chapel
Hill and Carrboro until 1976, when
it was sold to Duke Energy. Since
then, the plant has just served UNC.
In 2016, 72 percent of the plants
emissions were from coal, while the
rest were from natural gas and oil.
Gloria Liu, co-chair of the UNC
Renewable Energy Special Projects
Committee, said the school hasnt
found a substitute that is as efficient
as coal.
We sort of also know that
because we have this (cogeneration)
plant on campus, its never really
going to get to the point that renew-
able energy is going to replace the
electricity produced by the plant,
because its very cheap and very
efficient in producing it, she said.
However, this doesnt mean that we
should stop bringing more renew-
able energy projects on campus.
But not everyone believes that
UNC should have a coal plant.
Bruno said the plant is terrible.
In general, the whole country,
the whole world, should be moving
away from coal and other forms of
petroleum-based energy, he said.
As a leader within the state and
across the country, I think its really
important that UNC do away with
our coal plant and really move to a
100 percent renewable-based energy
for the whole campus.
He said if coal use doesnt stop in
the next 10 to 15 years, there will be
a global 2 degree Celsius tempera-
ture increase.
Bruno is part of the Carolina
Climate Change Scientist, a group of
UNC faculty that conducts interdis-
ciplinary climate change research.
He said the group has found that
a number of universities and busi-
nesses have vowed to meet the Paris
agreement regardless of what the
federal government does. Chancellor
Carol Folt is not among them, and
the group is writing a petition that
asks her to follow the Paris climate

THE STORY SO FAR
The Cameron Avenue Coal Plant
has been around since 1941.
Heres some recent history:
The plant transitioned to cogen-
eration in 1991, meaning that it
generates electricity and heat at
the same time.
Then-Chancellor Thorp made
the 2020 pledge in 2010. It was
quietly abandoned in 2012 for a
wait and see approach.
Chancellor Folts Three Zeros
Initiative was announced in 2016.
Theres no set date to meet these
goals, which do not involve coal.

Beekeepers share knowledge Lobbyists

Carrboro and
Chapel Hill
are breaking
out in hives
for a cause.
By Natalie Short
Senior writer
Want to know whats the buzz
about beekeeping? Wondering why
we need to #savethebees? Local bee-
keepers in Chapel Hill and Carrboro
are happy to share their knowledge
with seasoned pros or interested new-
comers.
One great resource is John
Rintoul, president of the Orange
County Beekeepers Association, who
maintains two beehives on display
at Carrboro High School. Stefan
Klakovich, an AP environmental sci-
ence teacher at the school, takes his
classes out to observe the bees when
they study agricultural systems.
One of the things people really
dont have an appreciation for is our
agricultural system, he said. Its
more complicated than just growing
vegetables and selling them. Its a
global sort of thing and one piece of
that are honey bees.
Rintoul said the hives were moved
from a muddy field with no parking
to the school in hopes that the hives
would be more accessible to the pub-
lic.
The demonstration hives are
there so that we can provide dem-
onstrations on beekeeping and any
aspect of beekeeping that people
are interested in to community
groups and student groups, he said.
Carrboro High School houses two beehives located close to the main office and are both maintained by John Rintoul.
Anybody that is interested, we will
do a demonstration for.
Klakovich started a beekeeping
club and his students helped plant a
pollinator garden near the beehive
site. He said he, another teacher and
a student are now keeping beehives
at their homes as well.
At UNC, the Carolina Campus
Community Garden, which grows
fruits and vegetables for UNCs
lower-wage workers, also hosts a
few beehives. Two of them are main-
tained by Anne Cabell, a volunteer
beekeeper.
Cabell has been a hobbyist bee-
keeper for about 10 years. When she
heard about the community garden,
she offered her personal hives to
help pollinate the plants. She gives
tours to community and school
groups.
Honey bees pollinate one-third
of the worlds food directly, she said.
Indirectly, they actually pollinate
about three-fourths of the worlds
food, because theyre pollinating
things that other pollinators need.

from places like American
Cabell said one of the hives in the
community garden is maintained
by the Carolina Beekeeping Club, a
newly established student group.
All three beekeepers said it is
important to educate the communi-
ty about bees and their importance
to the environment. Klakovich said
the beehives are part of an effort to
create a more environmentally con-
scious campus.
Schools should be places where

A cancer society worker
said the NC industry is
addicted to its profits.

Breaking Editor
Tobacco companies dont nec-
essarily have the same influence
in North Carolina that they did
decades ago, but they still have
an important voice in legisla-
tion. They contribute hundreds
of thousands of dollars to politi-
cal campaigns, aiding politi-
cians into office and continuing
their cycle of influence in public
health policy.
The cash crops influence on
NC can be seen in the nicknames
of its cities and neighborhoods,
Tobacco Campus in Durham to
Camel City in Winston-Salem.
But its also seen in the health-
care costs of residents.
Tobacco costs NC $3.81
billion in health care dollars
every year. According to Cancer
Action Network government
relations director Christine
Weason, $931.4 million of those
are Medicaid dollars spent on
medical treatment as a result of
tobacco products.
So certainly this is one area
that needs to be addressed,
Weason said. The challenge is
that we have that rich history of

Q&A with astronaut, alum Zena Cardman

Cardman beat out more than 18,300
applicants to get the NASA position.
Zena Cardman, a 2010 alumna who also got a
masters degree in marine science at UNC, is one of
12 people in NASAs 2017 Astronaut Class. Features
editor Brinley Lowe asked Cardman about her
career and time at UNC.
The Daily Tar Heel: How did UNC prepare you to
be an astronaut?
Zena Cardman: Between courses at UNC and
opportunities to do field research outside of my
coursework, I wound up with a lot of experience in
remote places like Antarctica and the Arctic. I think
that doing science far away from home in an opera-
tional environment really helped.
DTH: When did you know you wanted to be an
astronaut?
ZC: I actually wrote about it on my application
essay to UNC and deleted it because I didnt have a
tangible reason why. But during college, it became
more of a goal and not just a fantasy dream. After my
junior year, I started working with a NASA project
called Pavilion Lake and with that project, I got to
work with astronauts. It became obvious that these
are real people and that was a real career that people
actually have.
DTH: Tell me about how you got the position.
ZC: The application opened in December 2015.
The basic requirements are pretty simple: you need a
college degree in a STEM field and then three years
of experience after that ... after I turned in my appli-
cation, I saw that 18,000 other people had applied
and at that point I thought, Well, there goes that
chance. I guess Ill try again next time. They open
these applications up roughly every four years.
In early September 2016, I got a call out of the
blue on a Friday morning from Houston and they
said, Wed like you to come down to Houston for an
interview. The first round of the interview process is
just three days. You go to Houston for everything
from a formal sit-down interview with the selection
board to medical testing and physical testing and a
lot of psychological exams.
The best part was getting to meet the other appli-
cants. They brought us down in groups of 10. It was
everyone from military tech pilots to engineers and
medical doctors and me, the microbiologist. Just get-
ting to meet these people who I would never inter-
sect with in my normal career was really fun.
Then you wait another couple of months. In
December, I got another phone call inviting me
down for a finalist interview. That one wasnt until
April of 2017. In the second round, there are 50 peo-
ple left and its a week-long process. Its sort of like
the first round but more intense ... we all knew we
were getting a call with a yes or a no on May 25. Im
really lucky and overjoyed that mine was a yes.
DTH: Given the odds, can you believe you got it?
ZC: I think any of the people that I met in the
finalist and semifinalist rounds would have been
excellent. I had serious impostor syndrome look-
ing at their careers versus me, the grad student.
DTH: What will you be doing at NASA?
ZC: The first two years are a training period.
Whether were test pilots or biologists or doctors
or engineers, we go through the same training. Its
everything from learning how to fly P-38 jets to

DTH: Do you see this as your lifelong career?
ZC: Yeah, I think this is it. I know what Im going
to be when I grow up now.

tobacco. We are a tobacco state.
Higher taxes incentivize peo-
ple to lower their tobacco intake.
However, NC has some of the
lowest taxes in the country on
tobacco products, Weason said.
NC politicians get sizable dona-
tions by tobacco companies. In
his career, Sen. Richard Burr has
received more than $190,000
Reynolds American, an NC-based
tobacco company. In 2014, former
U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan received
$78,806 from Lorillard Tobacco
Company, also based in NC.
Burr and Hagan voted against
the Family Smoking Prevention
and Tobacco Control Act, passed
in 2009, which allows the Food
and Drug Administration to
regulate the tobacco industry.
Hagan was the only Democrat in
the Senate to vote against the bill.
The top 20 tobacco industry
campaign donors contrib-
uted over $5 million in the last
election cycle, said Rebecca
UNC Lineberger Comprehensive
Cancer Center. In the 2016
election cycle, Reynolds gave
$482,737 to Republicans and
$32,310 to Democrats.
Last year, the FDA started
to assert authority over cigars
and e-cigarettes through the
Family Smoking Prevention and
Tobacco Control Act, said Gregg
Haifley, the director of federal

Morehead has historical, state impact
Astronauts
and NC
students
alike have
visited.
By Alexandra Blazevich
Senior Writer
For almost 70 years, the
Morehead Planetarium has
been the place for everything
from astronaut training to
class field trips to romantic
stargazing.
History
John Motley Morehead III,
class of 1891, gave UNC the
money to build the iconic bell
tower in 1931 but still wanted
to continue giving back to
the school that gave him his
education.
Before he knew what he
wanted to build for his school,
Morehead consulted with
Harvard scholars, such as
Harlow Shapley, who told
him that North Carolina was
in need of a cosmic awaken-
ing.
And thus, in 1949,
Morehead Planetarium
was built as a gift to the
University.
It was the sixth planetari-
um to be built in the United
States, and the first built on a
college campus.
Morehead is, in many
ways, literally the front door
of this University and to
the whole state, said James
Moeser, a planetarium advi-
sory board member and for-
mer UNC chancellor.
In 1972, the original build-
ing was expanded to include
the observatory, a banquet
hall and eight guest bedrooms
where esteemed guests of
the University can stay when
theyre visiting the school.

Staff Writer
To be a doctor or not to be
a doctor? Its a question that
some pre-med majors ask
themselves after their first
year of classes.
Bethany Cole, who was pre-
med but is now an economics
and public policy major, felt
after taking Chemistry 101 and
102 that the science of medi-
cine wasnt worth the cost of
being a doctor.

SURFs up for various undergraduate researchers
By Emma Boggess
Staff Writer
When spring exams are
over, some students skip
straight from thoughts of
beach vacations and Netflix to
pursuing study abroad oppor-
tunities, summer classes and
undergraduate research.
The Summer Undergraduate
Research Fellowship has been
providing students with the
money to complete special-
ized research projects all
over the world since 2001.
Every summer, the Office
of Undergraduate Research
awards a $3,000 stipend to
approximately 70 undergradu-
ates to execute a research
project of their own design.
SURF students are required
to complete a minimum of 20
hours of work per week for
nine weeks from May through
August.
Students from any field of
study can apply for a SURF
award. Approximately 200
applications are received
each year, a majority of which
pertain to the natural sci-
ences. Troy Blackburn, associ-
ate dean for undergraduate
research, said this doesnt
mean that only natural sci-
ences projects get the grant.
We try to balance the per-
centage of projects that we
fund across the fine arts and
The Morehead Planetarium Sundial is an iconic landmark of UNC. It is located at the front of the building and can be seen from Franklin Street.
Since then, the planetarium
has not gone through many
construction changes, but in
recent years, innovation has
brought new programs and
exhibits to life.
Outreach
In 2002, under the direc-
tion of eventual Chancellor
Holden Thorp, Morehead
Planetarium evolved into the
Morehead Planetarium and
Science Center, where stu-
dents could further their edu-
cation in science, technology,
engineering and math. Molly
Molpus, communications
manager for the planetarium,
said these education pro-
of classes, it was really that I
didnt enjoy the material at
all, Cole said. I was really
interested in helping others
and accessing medicine, but
I wasnt really interested in
the actual material that goes
behind being a doctor.
While the perception is that
many STEM majors feel the
same way as Cole, the statistics
prove otherwise. Enrollment
statistics from the registrars
office for juniors and seniors in
2016-2017 showed that 1,248
students were biology majors
and 664 were chemistry majors
in the Fall 2016 semester. The
following semester saw a slight
increase for biology majors and
chemistry majors 1,398 and
682, respectively.
humanities, social sciences
and natural sciences, he said.
This year, two-thirds of the
grant recipients are pursuing
research related to a scientific
field, including psychology,
biology, chemistry, biomedi-
cal engineering and environ-
mental studies.
To decide which research
proposals receive a SURF
grant, 12 faculty members
form four committees that
rank the proposals. There is
one arts committee and one
social sciences committee, but
two natural sciences commit-
tees because there are so many
applications from these majors.
Blackburn said that around
60 to 80 projects get the grant
each year, depending on the
amount of money available.
We typically spend around
$200,000 each year, he said.
William Booker, a senior
psychology and Spanish
literature major, is cur-
rently researching at Tilburg
University in the Netherlands.
The project is titled
Depression Contagion among
Adolescents: Implications for
LGBTQ Teens.
My focus is to understand
the development of non-
suicidal self-injury during
adolescence in response to
peer victimization, while still
learning about contagion on

800 events across all 100 NC

The Science Center is
working to add exhibits that
showcase its history and the
future of science. One exhibit
in particular will include
information about astronauts.
Throughout the Space
Race, NASA sent all of its
astronauts to Morehead
Planetarium. They were
trained in celestial navigation,
which helped them find their
way through space based on
where they were in relation to
the stars.

Though some may not
decide to go to medical
school, there are still other
options for them to pursue,
as natural sciences and math-
ematics academic advisor
Kathleen McNeil said.
One thing that has really
changed is it used to be that
a lot of students would start
in STEM in general and they
were more likely to change
into non-STEM majors prior
to graduation at various differ-
ent key points, McNeil said.
Now, we just recently got
some data back showing that
students do tend to persist if
they start out in STEM being
STEM majors. There is lot of
people discovering psychology,
neurobiology or exercise and
Booker said that the expe-
rience has been phenom-
enal.
I am treated like a gradu-
ate student here and given
plenty of independence to
work on my own project and
help with others, he said.
Booker corresponds with
his faculty advisor Mitch
Prinstein, the director of clin-
ical psychology at UNC, via
Skype. As Bookers adviser,
Prinstein suggests readings,
goes over hypotheses and
helps analyze the data.
Aysenil Belger, the director

adolescents.

coming up with different ideas
together, so its a more novel
and innovative approach to
completing research, she said.
Belger said the project is
unique because shes helping
her student develop a new
way to analyze data instead
of following a pre-existing
method. She prefers to pair
the research with guided read-
ings of related articles to help
students better understand
the influence of their research.

they want to become doctors

isnt what it is cut out to be.
Most students come in
and think that med school is

off to a different path, Miller
said. They might start taking
classes they dont like or they
maybe take a job shadowing

For two weeks each April, sci-

UNC sophomore runs local corporation
By Chantal Shine
Staff Writer
While most students feel
accomplished to get a sum-
mer internship or make an A
in a class, one of their peers
has been running a company
since he was 16 years old.
Linker Logic Technologies
Inc., founded by CEO Ritwik
Pavan when he was a high
school junior, designs apps
for businesses.
The price to get an app
made by the Chapel Hill-
based company, which has
worked on 38 apps and has
14 ongoing projects, ranges
from $25,000 to more than
$100,000.
One of the business cus-
tomers is Quentin Jackson,
who had an idea for an
app that connects college
coaches with high school
athletes who want an ath-
letic scholarship. Jackson
said that Linker Logic was
instrumental to his com-
panys success.
Weve gone from a com-
pany valued at $0 to a com-
pany that will potentially sell
for $30 to $50 million dollars
within the next two years,
Jackson said.
Herman Hill, a sports
official at the high school
and collegiate level, wanted
to develop an app to help
referees. He said the app is
in the works at Linker Logic.
They make you want to
work with them, Hill said.
You give them a concept,
they take it from a small
(idea), then turn it into a
huge concept.
Linker Logic began as just
a guy with an idea, or rather
a teenager who had already
developed two apps: one for
his religious organization,

sophomore computer science

the journey of making peo-

junior at Enloe High School.
Evan Gallagher, Linker

Pavan is a great leader.
He leads not only by
example but exemplifies
someone as a role model,
Gallagher said. If Im feeling
like I dont really want to do
this today, I know hes going

else isnt.
Pavan said that Linker
Logic has experienced some
difficulties, such as team-
work, but there is one major
obstacle still blocking the
companys way forward.

of being a startup and being a

Thats the biggest struggle
right now because the transi-

One employee, 18-year-old

his lack of experience wasnt a
problem for Pavan.
I see him as a mentor,
Robertson said. He knew (I
wasnt) the complete best, but
he was aiming to build a com-

Know the
local history
of eugenics
A W
longside the benefits of our
understanding of genetics over
the years, theres been the dark
shadow of its pseudoscience.
More than just an unfortunate chap-
ter of history confined to Nazi Germany,
eugenics has long had a foot in American
politics. North Carolina provides a per-
fect example of the wretched history of
eugenics in the United States.
The focal point of the Old North
States relationship with eugenics over
the years was the Eugenics Board of
North Carolina, a state board formed in
1933. It forcibly sterilized citizens, many
of whom were black and impoverished.
The stated targets of sterilization of
the Eugenics Board were the so-called
feeble-minded, which was bad enough,
but they also sterilizes the blind and
deaf, expanding to the sterilization of any
welfare recipients social workers chose
to single out. Over the course of over 40
years, about 7,500 people were sterilized
by the state until 1977, when the Eugenics
Board was formally abolished. However,
laws allowing involuntary sterilization
remained in place until as late as 2003.
The driving force behind the forced
sterilizations authorized by the Eugenics
Board after World War II was the so-
called Human Betterment League, an
organization made up of Winston-Salems
wealthy elite for the purpose of furthering
the cause of eugenics in North Carolina.
Founded in 1947, the efforts of the League
led to an 80% increase in forced steriliza-
tions in the state and continued to pro-
mote forced sterilizations until the early
1970s, eventually disbanding in 1988.
Beyond thousands of forced steriliza-
tions administered under the authority
of the Eugenics Board, countless more
were carried out by local clinics in the
state. While a bill passed in 2013 provid-
ed compensation to victims of involun-
tary sterilization by the Eugenics Board,
no compensation has been instituted for
victims of these clinics.
North Carolina is only one of many
states that has sanctioned forced steriliza-
tion. Beyond the already horrible history
of American eugenics, the American
model of eugenics and forced sterilization
would provide a direct model for similar
programs implemented in Nazi Germany.
Harry Laughlin, one of the lead-
ing American eugenicists of the 1930s,
would brag to colleagues about how Nazi
Germany was adapting his compulsory
sterilization law models, amd in 1936
was awarded an honorary degree by
Heidelberg University for his contribu-
tions to the science of racial cleansing.
Despite the repeated debunking of
eugenics by respectable academics and
researchers, Social Darwinist think-
ing and support for eugenicist thought
remains far more prevalent than it
should. The most prominent example is
Charles Murrays 1994 The Bell Curve, a
perniciously ignorant, poorly researched,
and deliberately misleading book which
claims human intelligence is linked to
race. The book was published without
any peer review, based itself on flawed
statistical methods and faulty assump-
tions and has been torn to shreds by a
number of prominent scholars.
But Charles Murrays pseudo-research
is still taken seriously in certain circles.
The majority of Murrays research came
from the Pioneer Fund, a non-profit foun-
dation that has funded prominent white
supremacists, such as Roger Pearson and
Jared Taylor. Among the founding mem-
bers of the Fund was Harry Laughlin.
The original eugenicists saw them-
selves as philanthropists who were help-
ing the world, and future neo-eugeni-
cists will probably view themselves that
way as well. This is why it is important
we dispel the pseudoscientific, white
supremacist myths that are perpetuated
by people like Charles Murray and orga-
nizations like the Pioneer Fund.

The Senate plan is not a

transfer of wealth from working
people to Wall Street. Twenty-
two million Americans would

Senate bill. The Senate bill

to go to medical school.
Many non-STEM majors
take the science courses they
need to fulfill their general
education requirements, and
then never go near the sub-
ject again, but not because of
a disinterest in science if
youre not pursuing a career
in the medical field or scien-
tific research, whatever joy
you may get from taking a
general science class isnt usu-
ally worth the C youll most
likely get on your transcript.
This is unfortunate because
science is a field that affects
everybody. Given the recent
influx in climate change
deniers, a general knowledge
of the scientific field is more
important than ever.
Creating Scientists has
the opportunity to change
students views on college sci-

it will have to let go of some

lion metric tons of plastic end
up in the ocean. According to
plasticpollution.org, thats about
five grocery bags full of plastic
for every foot of coastline in the
world, and its easily avoidable.
In November 2016, California
voted to ban plastic bags for large
retailers. Customers bring their
own reusable shopping bags or
pay a ten cent charge for paper
bags. Many other cities have
adopted bans as well, includ-
ing Washington, D.C., Boulder,
Chicago, and even the Outer
Banks. Though not all bans are as
strict, they are certainly effective.
San Jose, California found an 89
percent reduction of plastic litter
in the storm drain system after
instituting their 2011 plastic bag
ban.
In cities that ban plastic bags,
or at least take steps to reduce
plastic usage, pollution decreases
and customers are far more likely
to carry their own reusable bags.
In Thurston County, Washington,
the plastic bag ban reduced sin-
gle-use bag usage from 63 percent
to 3 percent in only six months,
and a majority of shop-owners
supported the ban. Chapel Hill
could benefit greatly from taking
this small step to reduce waste
and protect the environment.

Music needs
a political
message
ould Bernie Sanders had been
more successful if hed played
Rage Against the Machine at
his rallies?
Possibly. In times of political turmoil,
music can turn political as well. And
oftentimes, theres no better way to
express how pissed off you are about the
world than music.
But the strongest examples rarely
reach the mainstream population.
Music that seeks to address the
injustices of the world is powerful and
thought-provoking but often unpopular,
resigning it to the label of underground.
The world is frequently overwhelm-
ing, and many people like to use music
as a tool to escape the world rather
than one to address it. Its a lot easier
to listen to a song about partying until
the sun rises than a cop murdering a
child in cold blood. However, there are
exceptions, such as Marvin Gaye, Rage
Against the Machine and Kendrick
Lamar, who have succeeded in being
both mainstream and true to their politi-
cal messages.
I had a heated argument with a friend
about the band Rage Against the Machine.
I argued that their borderline-anarchist
political message alone made them a
great band. She argued that their popular-
ity invalidated their radical left political
position. She was convinced that because
they crossed over into mainstream cul-
ture, their beliefs became irrelevant. She
argued that to be considered genuine in
their conviction then, an artist has to be
unpopular. They have to be playing shows
in local clubs to crowds of only a hundred
or so. Crowds whose beliefs are already
aligned with the artists. They cant sound
polished, and they cant be liked by anyone
outside of the small circle of people shar-
ing identical beliefs.
But I vehemently disagreed. How
many songs from underground, more
radically left artists are concerned with
changing the whole world not just
for their music scene for the better in
their music? How many of these bands
albums were created out of a desire to
see real political change? I think many of
them, or even all of them, do. If an artist
with views similar to this were to become
popular, it should be considered a cause
for hope or a breath of fresh air, not sell-
ing out. It means theyre striking a chord
with their message, reaching outside
those who already believed in what they
had to say. Wouldnt that mean that at
least a portion of our mainstream of our
culture was beginning to accept change in
the world? Changes that would better the
lives of people in our country, whether its
African Americans or women or those in
poverty or immigrants.
Maybe, for the more politically invest-
ed of us, its the part of us that loves the
thrill of being part of the counterculture.
Or maybe its the part of us too nihilistic
to believe that the world will change
and instead brand those artists who do
breakthrough without changing their
beliefs to the the pop culture zeitgeist as
sellouts or as irrelevant and signifying
little. When will we stop patting our-
selves on the back for refusing to take
part in the changing of the world we
claim to hope for so much? We should
at least try to make a world where car-
ing about the lives of the people around
us, the autonomy of human beings and
everyones right to the same things is
more important than being countercul-
ture.
