Cyberbullying a≠ects onlookers

National incidents prompt legislation

posted.
According to Mundell, public
Tweets by two UNC alumni targeted a
UNC student. The messages attacked
the student’s sexuality, inviting him to
hook up with a choir director, audition
for a musical and get an AIDS test.
They also threatened violence.
Cyberbullying recently garnered
national attention when a student at
Rutgers University, Tyler Clementi,
committed suicide in September after
his roommate allegedly streamed an
online video of him having sex with
another man.

researcher Steven Gray, the “Education is the key,” said Danny
DePuy, the assistant director of the
UNC LGBTQ center.
Teaching the appropriate use of
social media is especially important
because it is viral and can be taken eas-
ily out of context, Mundell said.
He said he recognizes there might
have been an argument between the
two parties and that he is unaware of
the whole situation. Those involved
declined to comment on the incident.
“But don’t they read the news?”
Mundell said.
In light of recent episodes of cyber-
bullying, the “Tyler Clementi Higher
Education Anti-Harrassment Act
of 2010” was introduced to the U.S.
Senate and House of Representatives
by U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg,
D-N.J., and U.S. Rep. Rush Holt,
D-N.J., on Nov. 18.
The bill is the first of its kind and
requires institutions of higher education
to establish anti-harassment policies.
It was introduced days before both
houses of the New Jersey state legis-
lature passed an Anti-Bullying Bill of
Rights to address cyberbullying in the
K-12 system.
This bill is not new — it has been
in the works since the beginning of
the year, said N.J. Rep. Valerie Huttle,
D-Bergen.

The team, working under an
innovative program, includes a
physician, a clinical nurse spe-
cialist and a clinical pharmacist
practitioner. It is innovative in
that pharmacist John Valgus is the
main provider of supportive care
services to many of the patients.
Valgus, the author of the jour-
nal article, explained that the team
travels to patients during their
oncology clinic visits, preventing
the patients from having to sched-
ule yet another appointment for
care.
The pharmacist first sees the
patients when an assessment and
medical history are taken. Valgus
said 75 percent of the consults were
for pain management.
The results of Valgus’ team were
comparable to those produced by
the UNC inpatient Palliative Care
bank
by the Student Code because of his
position in the executive branch.
Under Title VI, Article IV,
Section 408 of the Student Code,
student body secretary and other
high-ranking members of the
executive branch are prohibited
from participating in campaigns
for student government positions.
But the ambiguity surround-
ing what constitutes a campaign
before candidates are permitted to
declare candidacy might doom the
complaint.
It was filed by Rick Ingram, a
junior who is widely rumored to
be actively organizing his own
campaign.
Ingram said in the complaint
that over the past three weeks,
Lee has sent e-mails declaring an
intention to run for student body
president, which he said consti-
tutes campaigning.
“I have heard from many that
he is spreading these rumors about
running, and in order to do so, I
feel as though he would have to
resign his current post as (student
body secretary),” Ingram wrote in
the complaint.
But the complaint might be
thrown out on the grounds that the
Board of Elections cannot punish
individuals who are not declared
candidates.
“The extent to which the Board
of Elections can do anything to
actors who are not certified candi-
dates is a complicated legal ques-
tion,” said Andrew Phillips, chair-
man of the Board of Elections.
Phillips added that the board
cannot punish members of student
government who are not involved
in elections.
“I can’t tell (Student Body
President) Hogan Medlin what to
order for lunch,” Phillips said.
He said if the board finds that Lee
violated the Student Code, it might
choose to fine Lee should he declare
candidacy following the mandatory
candidates’ meeting in January.
Section 404 of the same article
forbids candidates from declaring
candidacy before this meeting.
Lee said he expects the com-
plaint to be thrown out because, at
this point in the election process,
there are no official campaigns. Contact the University Editor Chapel Hill-based Harrington
“At this point, anything is just
right now,” he said.
Phillips said the board will meet
Thursday or Friday to determine
whether the board has jurisdiction
over the issue. It will meet to hear
arguments from both parties in the
first half of next week, he said.

Chapel Hill Training replaces Zinaz
Chapel Hill Training opened Nov. 1 in Rosemary Village at 400 W.
Rosemary St., owner and personal trainer Lauren Cruz said.
Cruz said she designed her business to differ from the atmo-
sphere of a larger gym.
“My whole thing is seeing what doesn’t work in big gyms and
what my clients don’t like about big gyms,” she said
“I really just wanted to try and do a private, more personal,
comfortable environment where someone can come, get a great
workout, not deal with the crowds of the gym, the germs of the
gym and just have a comfortable environment.”
Cruz rents from Rosina Orr, who ran the clothing store Zinaz in the
space until October. Orr said she decided to move her clothing busi-
ness online because walk-in traffic was sparse to the retail location.
“I’m going to rent that out and collect rent on it, have that income,
and then just do online only,” said Orr, who has yet to launch the site.
Big Al’s Cheap Tires focuses on service
Michael Overstreet, manager of Big Al’s Cheap Tires at 1059 N.C.
Highway 54 West, said the company’s service will set it apart.
“There’s no one really in the Triangle offering used tires with great
customer service,” he said. “We’re trying to give the same kind of
customer service you would get if you went to the dealership.”
In addition to selling new and used tires, Big Al’s — which
opened in July — offers services like inspections, oil changes and
light mechanical work.
Overstreet said used tires come from a variety of sources, including
all-wheel drive vehicles on which every tire must be replaced at the
same time, totaled cars and customers who like to buy tires in sets
when one wears out. While Overstreet said they offer no guarantee,
Big Al’s checks tires for dry rot, plugs and leaks before selling them.
“We check them very thoroughly, and we’ve really only had like
one come back leaking,” he said.
Crook’s Atrium Cafe offers new menu
Customers have asked Crook’s Corner Cafe and Bar to offer lunch for
years, and Crook’s Atrium Cafe at the Europa Center has answered that
call, said Paul Covington, owner and chef of the sister restaurant.
Management from the Europa Center, which houses about 50
businesses, contacted Crook’s because they wanted to give people
somewhere to eat, Covington said.
“There’s about 350 to 400 people in that building, so I get a
good traffic through there, but I also get about 70 percent of people
from outside from just knowing about Crook’s,” he said.
Covington said he developed a new menu based on Crook’s
staples and uses the same ingredients to ensure quality.
“The lunch items we created with a Southern background to
them,” he said. “We based it off some of our dinner items, like our
samplers on our main Crook’s menu, our shrimp and grits and our
side dishes.”

Survey studies hook-up culture at UNC

By Sarayu Kumar
Staff Writer
The Duke University student
who created a PowerPoint presen-
tation chronicling her sexual esca-
pades has inspired more than witty
banter.
Four UNC students are current-
ly conducting a study to explore the
University’s hook-up culture in a
more serious fashion.
“In response to the Duke stu-
dent’s PowerPoint we formed ques-
tions to try and elicit responses
from UNC students so we could
analyze their own hook-ups and
evaluate their behavior,” said
Lauren Tevelow, a senior and
member of the group conducting
the study, which is a project for the
students’ COMM 350: Practices of
Cultural Studies class.
Duke alumna Karen Owen
incited a national uproar when the
PowerPoint about her sexual expe-
riences at Duke emerged earlier
this semester.
Owen’s PowerPoint prompted
polarized opinions of her actions to
emerge, said Lori Baldwin, a senior
and member of the group.
While some people said demean-
ing things about her, others praised
her for doing wonderful things for
feminism, Baldwin said.
“Owens’ act was political in the
sense that it acted outside of social
norms,” she said. “Rating men and
creating a grading system is looked
upon as a masculine act. She did
it as a woman and that was looked
upon as a political act.”
More than 300 students have
taken the online survey so far.
The survey asks respondents
to evaluate statements such as: I
regret my hook-ups; when I hook
up with someone for the first time
I know them well; and alcohol has
played a role in my hook-ups.
In preliminary results, the most
common reason for hooking up or
not was level of attraction, and 62
percent said alcohol plays a role at
least sometimes.
Baldwin said the group wanted
to emphasize a different angle than
what had previously been covered
regarding hook-up cultures.
“We wanted to expand outside of
the public health point of view and
look into the cultural aspects of it,”
said Baldwin.
“Academic research often portrays
sex as a series of risks and forms a
perspective that creates a sex-neg-
ative viewpoint,” she said. “If com-
bated from a neutral perspective,
we can explore a lot of the cultural
ramifications of hooking up.”
Baldwin added that the sub-
ject of the survey is prevalent at
the University, and that is what
prompted the group to choose the
topic.
“There is a hook-up culture at
UNC,” she said. “Hooking up is not
an isolated act. There is a series of
expectations and social norms that
surround this physical act.”
J. Nikol Beckham, the class’ pro-
fessor, said she thought the group’s
cultural angle was compelling.
“They’ve chosen to take a very
interesting approach to the sub-
ject,” she said.
Other topics explored in her
class include cell phone addiction,
popular music and free speech on
campus.
Tevelow said it has been inter-
esting to compare the coverage the
hook-up culture has received in the
media to students’ actions.
“Even though their hook-ups
could just have been based on
physical attraction, we found that
most people aren’t regretting their
actions,” Tevelow said.

Fire department warns

Wreath lights turn red after Chapel Hill home fires

A wreath displayed at Fire
Station No. 1 is no ordinary holi-

The decoration is part of a
program by the Chapel Hill Fire
Department seeking to reduce resi-
dential fires throughout the town
during the holiday season.
The wreath, which was hung
Nov. 25, displays green lights. For
every residential fire in Chapel
Hill, a red bulb will replace a green
one.
The department’s goal is to

Family seeks to

In March 2008, Lori and Matt
Sames received the worst news a
parent can imagine: their three-
year-old daughter had been diag-
nosed with an incurable disease.
Now, their hope lies with Steven
Gray, a researcher at UNC’s Gene
Therapy Center, who believes that
with appropriate resources a cure
is within reach.
Hannah, the Sames’ young-
est daughter, was diagnosed with
Giant Axonal Neuropathy, or GAN,
after their pediatric neurologist
stumbled upon the rare disease in
a medical textbook.
Lori Sames said that receiving
the news about her daughter left
her family in a state of shock, anger
and disbelief.
Poised to overcome what some
call a “death sentence,” the family
turned to action.
After days of grieving, the fam-
ily decided someone had to be
the first to be cured of GAN. In
August 2008, Lori Sames brought
20 researchers together in Boston
to create a symposium on GAN in
an effort to compile research and
ideas for a cure.
Until then, the information was
scattered.
Soon, Sames realized that little
had been discovered about the dis-
ease, as pharmaceutical companies
dismissed GAN as a relatively rare
ailment. She then started a grass-
roots fundraising campaign to cure
GAN — also known as an “orphan
disorder” — which affects less than
200,000 people.
“Pharmaceutical companies don’t
usually look to develop therapies
for orphan disorders — they look
to cure diseases that affect mass
amounts of people,” Sames said.
“The whole effort is really driven
by the families of the children with
the disorder.”
To lead that effort, the Sames
family founded a 501(c)(3) non-
profit organization called Hannah’s
Hope Fund dedicated to finding a
cure for the disorder.
“There is no energy on this
planet stronger than a parent’s love
for their children,” said Heather
Tutwiler, Lori Sames’ cousin and
an advocate for Hannah’s Hope
Fund.
Since June of 2008, Sames said
the foundation has raised $2.1 mil-
lion toward GAN research.
Last August, Hannah’s Hope
Fund also won a $250,000 grant
through the Pepsi Refresh Project
and is competing again for the
same grant in November.
As of Monday, Hannah’s Hope
Fund is in third place. The top
two projects each month receive

First black faculty member reflects on UNC
by Pooja
Chandramouleeswaran
staff writer
In the fall of 1966, the University
underwent a significant trans-
formation when former professor
Hortense McClinton joined the
School of Social Work as the first
black faculty member to be hired
at UNC.
Today from noon to 1 p.m. at
the Tate-Turner-Kuralt Building,
McClinton will be joining faculty,
graduate and undergraduate stu-
dents in the “Lunch and Learn
Workshop” to discuss her experi-
ences and evaluate the University’s
strides toward diversity.
McClinton was hired at UNC
about 11 years after the first black
students joined UNC. Ralph
Frasier, LeRoy Frasier and John
Brandon were admitted in 1955.
On Monday, McClinton spoke
with The Daily Tar Heel about
those experiences and her ambiva-
lence toward her significance in the
history of the University.

Work at UNC
in the fall of
1966.
DTH: How does it feel to be the
first black faculty member?
Hortense McClinton: It
doesn’t feel any way to me. It was
just a thing.
I don’t have any feelings about
it.
DTH: Do you feel like you have
accomplished something great by
being the first black faculty mem-
ber at UNC?
HM: I felt like I did the best I
could but other than that, I was
just a faculty member and I was
there for 18 years. I was 66 years
old when I retired and I’m 92 now,
so I’m just like any other human
being.

Saffa Khan
The freshman perspective
Freshman undecided major from
Chapel Hill.
E-mail: saffakhan@gmail.com
Why I’m
not a
‘first-year’
student
F
reshman or first-year?
Our class will probably
never reach a consensus
on the issue of our collective
status. The reason for this
polarizing debate is the same
reason for all arguments nowa-
days: discrimination in the form
of sexism.
To some, the fact that “fresh-
man” is used without any cor-
responding feminine term is an
appalling representation of the
ongoing subjugation of women,
even in the 21st century. To them,
“first-year” is preferable because
it is sexless, and therefore a mod-
erate alternative. The cause for
change is understandable but
irrational.
The meanings of words change
with every novel usage and every
new context. The word “woman,”
for example, came from “wíf-
mon,” a compound of the Old
English words for wife and man,
and it was originally considered a
masculine word. Over the years it
was simplified to “wimman,” then
“womman,” before arriving to the
word we use today.
Despite its etymology, the
word is not generally offensive
because connotations have
changed. Should we rewrite our
dictionaries to make asexual
all of the words that make the
feminine gender seem like an
addendum to the masculine —
words like “female” or “human”
— or maybe even “person,” with a
stretch of the imagination?
I don’t think so. Women
should take linguistic units like
“man” and “male” as a part of
the English language that may
have once been an example of
the lower status of women but
now represent the change in
our understanding of gender
equality.
We shouldn’t have to ask for
equality in spite of our gender;
but rather, because of our gen-
der. Using sexless terms is like
pretending to be race-blind — it’s
denying the existence of some-
thing to limit confrontation, but
it only allows biases to persist
without having to amend them.
By all means, adopt the term
“freshwoman” instead if it suits
your fancy (although I’d much
prefer “freshlady”).
Furthermore, “freshman” is
more representative of our iden-
tity than “first-year.” “First-year”
may sound cooler and Harry
Potter-esque, but “freshman” is
homegrown and more natural-
sounding in our culture.
If we adopt “first-year,” what
will happen to all the other
years? Would they become sec-
ond years, third years and fourth
years? Or would they retain their
titles? Either way, the aesthetic
of both sets as a whole is rather
awkward.
And, in a way, “freshman” is
livelier than “first-year.” “First-
year” is a boring term with no
spirit — just an identifying level.
At least with “freshman” we have
a descriptor that completely
envelops our first-year experi-
ence.
Being a freshman is an inte-
gral part of our college experi-
ence, and the title has every-
thing to do with that. You can be
a first-year at any level of higher
education, but you can only be
a freshman in undergraduate
study.
Plus there are so many more
nicknames for “freshman” -
“freshie,” “frosh,” “freshmeat”
- and though these may not have
the best connotations, at least
they’re sweet in their belittle-
ment. Better than “firstie.”

Hogan says he vetoed the bill

provide convenience to Chapel

this pressure comes a different

Many students choose to

bill was unwise.
The redistricting bill is still
a good bill. If implemented it
would go a long way toward
addressing the problems that
Congress has had with recruit-
ing and retaining candidates,
especially from freshman
dorms. And it would give fresh-
men, who have traditionally
been left out of he process, a
voice in Congress.
Speaker Santoro said
Congress plans to override
Hogan’s veto and that had
he asked to have the Code
amended, Congress would
have obliged.
Hogan’s veto is an obvi-
ous failure of communication
on his part. There was plenty
main advantage of the move.
University Mall is about .8
miles from its current loca-
tion, so library users would not
have to travel much farther if
the move is made permanent.
Chapel Hill Transit also offers
five different bus routes that
run to University Mall.
The library’s presence at
University Mall could draw more
attention to the mall itself.
Some argue that the use
of retail space for the library
could be saved for more profit-
able entities.
But the library would attract
a new clientele to University
Mall and increase the traffic to
related stores such as Books on
the Mall by Borders. After all,
books, UNC Student Stores,
which provides some of its
profit to scholarships, loses
out on many customers due to
their higher prices.
Regulations play a big role in
determining these prices. The
store meets the same industry-
standard markup, about 30 per-
cent, as other stores on its books.
However, the University levies a
fee on its revenues. Therefore,
profit margins are tighter.
With constraints on prices,
Student Stores loses many stu-
dents to its competitors. Even
with its buyback program, it
remains unpopular. And while
some students benefit from

of opportunity, but it doesn’t
seem like he was sufficiently
involved during the bill’s prog-
ress through Congress. Hogan’s
litany of concerns were not
expressed until after the fact,
when he issued his veto.
The impression that this
veto leaves is that the executive
branch worked against, rather
than with, Congress to get a bill
it was happier with.
On principle, Student
Congress should act quickly to
override Hogan’s veto.
If it does, it should move
promptly to amend the prop-
er sections of the Code to
ensure that there is no con-
flict between it and the bill’s
provisions.
the Chapel Hill library is cur-
rently the busiest per capita in
the state.
Since the library would be
more centrally located to gro-
cery stores, gas stations, etc.,
mall visitors would have the
ability to finish their shopping
and errands all in one place.
The new location would also
save taxpayers $4 million, and
possibly more as details of the
move unfold. In times in which
money is tight for everyone, any
chance to save money should
not be overlooked.
The new location of the
library would be sure to benefit
the community’s interest in the
library and University Mall, as
well as the taxpayers’ wallets.
options for re-sale, it does not
aid the profit the store makes.
More freedom in price set-
ting or a rental option might
make the store more com-
petitive for students’ business.
Many students might choose
the on-campus store rather
than the less local competi-
tors, opening the door for an
increase in profit that could
increase the store’s ability to
give to financial aid.
Student Stores’ options
might be limited, but they
are not non-existent. Sticking
to the status quo will ensure
that students continue to look
elsewhere for textbooks —
and they should.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Don’t donate to anti-gay
Salvation Army this season
TO THE EDITOR:
Briefly, in response to Carrie
Dobbins (“Do not forget the true
meaning of Christmas,” Nov.
28): I admire your strong anti-
capitalist rhetoric, but I would
admonish you to not recommend
anyone give change to “the man
ringing the bell outside of Wal-
Mart.”
The Salvation Army is a mil-
itant anti-GLBTQ organiza-
tion that campaigned against
decriminalizing homosexual-
ity, expects gay people to be
celibate for life and threatened
to close their homeless shelters
rather than treat gay people
equally.
There are plenty of alterna-
tives for your charity, however. If
your pockets are heavy this holi-
day season, please consider this
list of alternative organizations
before throwing it all in those
little red buckets: American Red
Cross, Doctors Without Borders,
Oxfam International, UNICEF
or (probably best) your local
homeless shelters.

Support more research for
a rare genetic disorder
TO THE EDITOR:
Hi, my name is Carly Huff.
I am 24 years old and I have a
rare genetic disorder. I went to
UNC-Chapel Hill and graduated
in 2008.
I am trying to raise aware-
ness about Ehlers-Danlos
Syndrome (the genetic disorder
I found out I had in September
2010), and also make some
money to pay for my ever-
growing medical bills. I have a
blog where I have posted many
of my photos.
I had to quit my job because of
the physical stress, so I decided
to become a model to help edu-
cate others about the disorder.
There is not much research
on it, and I figured if I became
a model/famous then maybe
someone will start listening and
try to research more about the
progression of the disorder.
I am making a calendar for
UNC-Chapel Hill for 2011.
In it, each month I will be
somewhere on campus wear-
ing something from a store on
Franklin Street or somewhere
around campus that has been
donated.
The pictures will be taken
in the shops/restaurants that
help sponsor me and around
campus. On each of the pages,
whatever I am wearing and
wherever the photo is taken,
there will be an advertisement
on the page with the store’s
information with it.
The calendars will then be
available for the stores to pur-
chase at a reduced price and sell
to the public.
There will be an informa-
tional segment about Ehlers-
Danlos Syndrome along with
my story and why I want to now
be a motivational speaker and
model (no one would ever know
I have it unless I told them or
they saw me wearing one of my
braces).

Planned logging efforts a
travesty to Orange County
TO THE EDITOR:
O ra n ge C o u n ty c i t i z e n s
need to know that OWASA is
planning extensive, long-term
logging in the Cane Creek
Watershed surrounding Cane
Creek Reservoir.
This is the major source of
water for Chapel Hill, Carrboro
and the University. We need to
prevent this travesty which will
lead to degradation of our water
supply and loss of old-growth
forest and the habitat they pro-
vide.
In addition, the citizens
of rural Orange County, who
receive no services from
OWASA, and have already sac-
rificed land and resources to
eminent domain for construc-
tion of the reservoir, will again
be sacrificing as massive log-
ging takes place in their com-
munities.
Plan to attend OWASA’s com-
munity meeting on Tuesday,
Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. at the Maple
View Agricultural Center on
Dairyland Road. See directions,
details of OWASA’s proposals,
impacts on the community and

Should drug tests be used
to curb Adderall abuse?
TO THE EDITOR:
I was visiting with friends
who attend other universities
over Thanksgiving break, and
the prevalence of Adderall use
came up in the discussion.
Adderall is a mixture of
amphetamines that is prescribed
for the treatment of ADHD and
narcolepsy.
It works much like metham-
phetamine and cocaine in that it
increases alertness, concentra-
tion, and overall cognitive per-
formance and decreases fatigue
in the user.
The Controlled Substance Act
states that it has a high potential
for abuse and addiction.
However, due to the high
rate of ADHD diagnoses in our
society, it is quite easy to get
one’s hands on a prescription of
Adderall.
Students are increasingly
using the drug to help them study
and perform well on exams.
The prevalence of this use
caused my friends and I to ask
ourselves a few questions. Is it
fair?
The use of Adderall in aca-
demics certainly makes the
playing field less even. If it’s
so easy to get a hold of, then
should we compromise our
standards and use it too so that
we can compete on a higher
level?
Are the disparities so great
that universities should imple-
ment such extreme measures as
drug testing before exams? Is it
a legitimate excuse to explain
away my (low) GPA by my
refusal to use Adderall? And
what about those (few) people
who really need the drug to
help with their ADHD or nar-
colepsy?
Food for thought.
