Students robbed at gunpoint in dorm

by C. Ryan Barber
and Lyle Kendrick
senior Writers
Justin Baugh was playing PlayStation 3
in his unlocked Morrison Residence Hall
room when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
Upon lifting his gaze from the game,
the UNC sophomore was looking down
the barrel of a handgun.
Baugh was asked to stand in a line with
four other students as his pockets were
emptied a little after midnight Monday.
It took 10 minutes, and then the two men
left his room carrying money, video games,
controllers and cell phones, he said.
Campus police responded just before
12:20 a.m. to a call from a student in the
neighboring room. They arrested one man,
but the other fled on foot.
Luther Oneal Allison, 24, of
Hillsborough, was charged with armed
robbery, assault by pointed gun and resist-
ing arrest, said Randy Young, spokesman
for the Department of Public Safety.
He said police found no evidence of a
weapon on Luther at the time of the arrest
and could not confirm whether the other
man, Michael DeAngelo Williamson, 26,
had a gun as he fled on foot.
“My understanding is warrants have been
sworn for that gentleman’s arrest,” Young
said. Police are still searching for him.
Young said the University posted a sum-
mary of the incident on the AlertCarolina
website rather than notify the campus via
text or siren because the officer could not
confirm that Williamson was armed and
decided the suspect did not pose “an imme-
diate or imminent threat to campus.”
The AlertCarolina website states that a
siren will sound and texts will be sent to
students if there is “an armed and danger-
ous person on or near campus.”

Greenbridge, a downtown Chapel Hill development, faces foreclosure
after Bank of America refused to pay invoices on the project in October.

Hogan Medlin, who leaves office today, faced many budget constraints at the beginning of his term, which limited his other goals for the year.

By Andy Thomason

There was nothing Hogan Medlin
could do.
Administrators had tacked on an addi-
tional increase of $750 per student to the
tuition plan — and the student body presi-
dent was not consulted about the increase.

Budget concerns limited Medlin’s
influence in several areas, but students
and administrators who worked with
him said he brought an impressive level
of knowledge to the position and levied
his influence on several smaller projects.
On tuition, Medlin promptly switched

rather than with UNC administration.
But whether the lobbying has been
effective is uncertain, with the prospect
of budget cuts up to 30 percent for UNC-
system schools looming on the horizon.
“What the heck is that going to do to
the (Mary) Cooper administration or the
Carolina students? How do you fight it?”
he said.
“I don’t know. We shifted our focus to
lobbying.”

Greenbridge
may foreclose
Development owes bank contractor
by Florence Bryan
and victoria stilwell
staff writers
Greenbridge, the 10-stor y
Rosemary Street development that
opened last fall, faces the threat of
foreclosure by its bank.
The (Raleigh) News &
Observer reported Friday that the
Greenbridge development could
foreclose after Bank of America
refused to pay $1.6 million in
invoices on the project in October.
The bank claims the contrac-
tor, Weaver Cooke Construction
of Greensboro, exceeded its guar-
anteed maximum price on the $54
million project, the N&O reported.
But Dan Estes, president of
Weaver Cooke, said he made a sep-
arate agreement with Greenbridge
developer Tim Toben to repay the
$1.6 million, and the money should
not be a factor in Bank of America’s
decision to stop payment.
“My take is the developer worked
out a way to alleviate that problem
with going over guaranteed maxi-
mum price outside of his debt to
Bank of America, so that shouldn’t
even be on the table,” he said.
Greenbridge was touted as one
of the most sustainable complex-
es in the state as it elicited bomb
threats and graffiti from those who
protested its location.
Toben and Greenbridge partner
Frank Phoenix would not comment
on the development or its finances.
In November, Estes filed a lien,
or a legal claim for payment of
debt, against Greenbridge, which
still owes the construction com-
pany “several million” along with
the bank, he said.
“Nobody can sell any condo
units until we’re paid, until the lien
is satisfied,” Estes said.
Estes said he is also owed retain-
age — an amount equal to 5 per-
cent of the contractor’s payment
for the job — to be paid by Bank of
America through Greenbridge.
Once the retainage is paid, Estes
said he would remove the lien,
allowing Greenbridge partners to
continue selling units to repay the
$43.8 million loan.
The N&O reported that the
development has sold 36 of its 97
condominium units.
After the loan is paid, Estes said
he will receive the $1.6 million he
is owed in invoices.
“The developer and I, we talk
almost daily,” he said. “We under-
stand one another. It’s entirely
Bank of America.”

Players give draft timetable Two compete for ASG presidency

Sports Editor
John Henson and fellow North
Carolina basketball players com-
peted against other students on
Tuesday at the basketball courts
near Cobb Residence Hall.
The spectators Monday had
one united wish — to see the
team’s stars return for the next
basketball season.
“It’s something for them to
watch and still see there’s basket-
ball and that we aren’t going any-
where,” Henson said, then paused.
“I mean, that we’re not going any-
where right now.”
Henson, a projected lottery pick
in the 2011 NBA Draft, said he’ll have
a decision on his plans for next year
by Saturday. Teammate Harrison
Barnes, who is all but guaranteed a
top-five pick in the draft, will have

“It’ll probably be in at least

Barnes said.
The deadline for early entry

competed Monday were Henson,
Barnes, Kendall Marshall, Dexter

The UNC Association of Student
Governments president is having
to fight to hold onto his position.
After a rocky year of stu-
dent organizations questioning
the association’s effectiveness,
President Atul Bhula and his chal-
lenger, UNC sophomore Kevin
Kimball, will be traveling to cam-
puses across the state this month.
Both student leaders are cam-
paigning to prove they are the best
choice for next year’s ASG presi-
dent.
Former ASG President Greg
Doucette said he has watched the
association’s efforts from the side-
lines this year and isn’t impressed.
“To have an incumbent be
opposed by any kind of substantive
opposition is usually a sign that
the group is not where it needs to
be,” he said.
Doucette, who is also president-
elect of N.C. Central University’s
law school, said he has considered
rejoining the association next year
as a delegate to help improve the
association’s focus.
“To have opposition tells me that
ASG is in a pickle,” Doucette said.
The association, which is funded
by $1 in students fees from all stu-
dents in the system, is made up of
delegates from all 17 UNC-system
schools. Delegates meet monthly at
different campuses across the state
to discuss issues affecting the stu-
dent body, such as tuition.
The president of the association
is paid a $7,000 stipend to oversee
the organization.
Kimball said he decided to run
for president because he was frus-
trated with the lack of student
advocacy the association accom-
plished this year.
“The university is facing some
of its largest budget cuts ever,”
Kimball said.
“We need strong leadership this
year if we’re going to be able to
reduce the effect it’s going to have
on students.”
Kimball is running on a ticket
with senior vice president candi-
date Ethan Harrelson, a delegate
from N.C. State University.
If elected, Kimball said their
primary focus will be addressing
student concerns and representing
them at the N.C. General Assembly.
He said he also hopes to make
monthly meetings more effective.
“When people say that some-
thing is going to be done, whether
that is the president or the senior
vice president, it needs to actually

Last summer I took Global Health as a
Maymester class and Analytical Chemistry in
first summer session. Taking these courses
over the summer helped lighten my load
during the school year and allowed me to
just focus on those two classes without
having to worry about others. Global
Health turned out to be one of my
favorite undergraduate classes. With
around 30 people, it was a nice
change from all of the big lecture
classes. The information was really
interesting and more relevant to
what I want to do in the future.

Cooper to slash size of her
cabinet, combine positions
In an effort to streamline her
cabinet, Student Body President-
elect Mary Cooper is planning to
cut its size dramatically.
Applications for spots on her
cabinet are currently being accept-
ed and are due Wednesday at 5
p.m.
The size of the cabinet is cur-
rently upward of 50 students, Lily
Roberts, Cooper’s pick for senior
adviser, wrote in an email Monday.
She added that no one will be
“fired,” since the staff completely
turns over each year.
To eliminate positions, several
committees will be combined.
Changes include:
The women’s affairs and minor-
ity and diversity outreach commit-
tees will be merged.
The public relations team will be
moved to the portfolio of the stu-
dent body secretary.
The student body outreach and
student body life committees will
be merged into a single student
body life committee.
Cooper will be inaugurated
today at 5:30 p.m. in the Great Hall
of the Student Union.
University to host ‘Super

The 55-minute tours will be free
and will focus on UNC’s history,
legends and lore.
Reservations aren’t required for
the tours, which will run 10 a.m. to
4 p.m., beginning at the Visitors’
Center.
A tour at 11 a.m. will highlight
architectural features of campus

the campus historic preservation
officer.
Child maltreatment expert
to speak on its prevention
Ron Prinz, director of the

maltreatment April 20.
Titled “Embedding Child-
Maltreatment Prevention in a
Population Approach to Parenting
and Family Support,” it will be the
Patricia F. Waller Lecture.
It will be held at 3:30 p.m. at the
Stone Center Auditorium. A recep-
tion will follow.
The lecture will focus on the
prevention of child maltreatment
and injuries.
The Waller lecture is held
every year in memory of Patricia
Waller, a professor who founded
the University’s Injury Prevention
Research Center and was a pioneer
in injury control.
She worked for almost 20 years
as a researcher at the University’s
Highway Safety Research Center,
where she developed graduated
licensing, a concept that was
adopted nationwide.

Care Center will remain open

Sam Odom, director of the Frank
Porter Graham Child Development
Institute, said the closing follows a
chronic inability to escape a defi-
cit.
“The cost of running the center
exceeded the revenue by a consid-
erable amount.”
He said the center, a part of the
Child Development Institute, has
found a way to make up the dis-
crepancy for the next two years,
but cannot fund itself beyond that
point.
The center currently has 31
employees and serves 78 children,
17 of whom have disabilities, said
Kate Gallagher, director of the
Frank Porter Graham Family and
Child Care Program.
The program cares for children
of both University students and
employees and the community at
large. Students studying education
or allied health sciences use it to
practice with new techniques.
The center is funded by fees and
agency contracts but has never had
a surplus despite those sources.
Recently, University and state
support have made up about 30
percent of its funding, according
to a notification letter the center
sent to families.
The center operates on a sliding
fee schedule based on a family’s
gross annual income, as well as the
child’s age. Current prices range
from $1,000 to $1,520 per year.
Odom said he hopes the two year

Faculty, students get a glimpse into Sakai

by Paula Seligson
staff writer
On Monday, Peabody Hall was
the halfway point between Sakai
and Blackboard.
About a dozen faculty gathered
to address the transition, voicing
their support of Sakai’s offerings
while expressing concerns about
transferring data and learning the
new system by December 2012,
when the University will fully turn
its back on Blackboard.
Kimberly Eke, teaching and
learning interactive manager

kimberly eke, teaching and learning interactive manager, its
platform. The sessions are open to
students and faculty.
Faculty can register for group
workshops or individual consulta-
tions on the Sakai blog, which also
offers video tutorials.
Eke touched on the transition
and some of Sakai’s different fea-
tures, including its ability to share
information with people outside
the school.
She said a program called bFree,
which pulls content from Blackboard
and uploads it directly to Sakai,
should be available by midsummer.
Eke said no one is required to use
Sakai, but hopes that its new features
will encourage more faculty to par-
ticipate. She said only 35 percent of
all courses use Blackboard — a stable
but small level.
She said Blackboard was devel-
oped primarily to manage courses,
while Sakai is more focused on a
research collaboration platform,
which better suits UNC.
“A lot of these things have to do
with the unique context of the uni-
versity,” Eke said.

of this nature sort of adds value to
the University,” Green said.
He said UNC will save $80,000
annually on the licensing fee, not
to mention savings on software
applications.
To improve Blackboard, the
University had to buy new appli-
cations through the company, Eke
said. But with Sakai, UNC can
develop its own applications or use
other schools’ applications for free.

we were adopting Sakai,” said

A bill in the N.C. General
Assembly aims to make the
breeding, ownership, transporta-
tion, training and sale of fighting
roosters and other fighting birds
illegal.
Cockfighting is illegal in North
Carolina.
The bill defines a cockfight as
a fight between two or more birds
arranged by a person with the pur-
pose or probable result of one bird
inflicting injury on another.
“We banned cockfighting as leg-
islation four years ago, but we had
this loophole where you could still
possess the animals or the equip-
ment,” said Rep. Pricey Harrison,
D-Guilford, a co-sponsor of the bill.
“This just closes that loophole,”
she said.
Though the bill defines a fight-
dth/Heather Kagan
ing rooster as one that is intention-
ally bred or used for fighting, ques-
tions remain about how the police
will distinguish between fighting
and regular roosters.
Ryan Huling, the assistant
manager of college campaigns for
People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals, said fighting roost-
ers tend to have their wattles and
combs cut off so their opponents
cannot grab them during combat.
The website for the United
Gamefowl Breeders Association
claims cutting the wattles and
combs is a common practice by all
farmers and a requirement for any
non-fighting exhibition.
Nikki Berryman, competitive
and special exhibits coordinator
for the N.C. State Fair division of
the N.C. Dept. of Agriculture and
Consumer Services, said the fair’s
competition does not require this.
PETA sides with the bill and
also opposes the cutting of wattles
and combs for any other purpose.
“Cruelty is cruelty,” Huling said.
still possess the animals or equipment."
Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-guilford, saying the new bill closes that loophole
“Chopping off parts of their body
for fighting or for decoration is
wrong.”
Preventing animal cruelty is
not the only purpose of the bill.
Representatives and advocates
hope the law will help reduce
other crimes associated with cock-
fights.
“They have gambling, they have
guns, they do a lot of illegal activity,”
said Rep. Pat Hurley, R-Randolph,
a co-sponsor of the bill.
Huling said the fights also pro-
mote bloodshed.
After just one hearing, the bill
was moved to the full judiciary
committee.
But some representatives believe
the bill might not pass.
“I don’t think the creators of
the bill themselves know if it’s a
deliberate stalling tactic,” Harrison
said.
Hurley said she is also unsure
about whether it will pass.
“I’ve heard that there are some
problems,” she said.
Some fighting rooster breeders
from Conover and Morganton,
declined to comment.

Young said students who were

Bank of America spokeswoman
Nicole Nastacie declined to com-
ment in detail due to “customer
confidentiality.”
“We have been working with
this borrower for some time to
help address the financial issues
impacting the project,” she wrote
in an email.
A similar financial pitfall for the
140 West Franklin project is unlike-
ly, Ram Development Company
spokeswoman Kim Counts said.
The development, located at the
intersection of Church and West
Franklin streets, is a public-private
enterprise featuring living, retail,
public art and parking spaces.
Counts said the project’s loans,
which were secured with Wells Fargo,
will be repaid through developer’s
equity, not customer deposits.
She also said location is a key
difference between Greenbridge
and 140 West, which has sold about
half of its units.
“We’re downtown on Franklin
Street, so I think our location is a
huge strong point for us,” she said.
Mayor Pro Tem Jim Ward, who is
also on the Town Council economic
development committee, said he isn’t
concerned for 140 West’s future and
doesn’t think Greenbridge is a litmus
test for success in Chapel Hill.
“The difficulties that I’m aware
of that Greenbridge is having is a
matter of three years of financial
trouble that the whole world has
been experiencing and is not speak-
ing to the project being well-suited
to Chapel Hill or not,” he said.
“It’s a matter of banks being will-
ing or able to loan money.”

Medlin
from page 1
A shift to Raleigh
The 2010-11 academic year saw
Medlin take unpopular stances
among administrators on a few
occasions, always in the name of
student representation.
In November, after recommend-
ing a 5.6 percent increase, he cast
the lone dissenting vote against a
proposed 6.5 percent increase in
tuition across the board, the maxi-
mum allowed amount.
He did the same with a transpor-
tation plan in March, again citing a
disproportionate financial burden
on students.
But he admits now that even
a 6.5 percent increase in tuition
will likely not be enough, saying
another summer supplement is
probable — this time exceeding
$750.
It was concerns like those that
convinced Medlin to take his
administration’s advocacy to a
level where it might have the most
influence — the state legislature in
Raleigh.
“The student role was ambigu-
ous in budget cuts, maybe less
heard on the campus level, on the
Board of Governors level,” he said.
“I have felt more heard in
Raleigh.”
Dakota Williams, student body
treasurer, said success in this sort
of lobbying is uncertain by nature.
“There’s really no way to know if
you’ve succeeded. You do what you
can,” he said.
“If they cut no money from
higher education then you’ve
succeeded, but that’s not going to
happen.”
An institutional awareness
Though his influence on tuition
was limited, Medlin was well-
respected on the Board of Trustees,
on which he served as the lone
student voice, said Bob Winston,
chairman of the board.
“He is very confident but not
cocky, and he has a reason to be
confident,” he said.
“On his first day on the job he
totally knew where he was sup-
posed to be and what he was sup-
posed to be doing.”

The association could use a

Bhula, the incumbent candi-
date, is running with senior vice-
president candidate Arjay Quizon,
a delegate from UNC-Pembroke.
Bhula said he thinks the orga-

job of lobbying this year and hopes
to improve face-to-face time with
legislators by exploring the option
of a paid lobbyist position within
the organization.
“It’s a good resource for student
fees because they are going to get a

But the Board of Governor’s
Bruce Carney, executive vice
chancellor and provost, said he
found Medlin’s institutional knowl-
edge impressive.
“I’m not quite sure where he
found the time to learn everything,”
he said.
Carney added that Medlin’s
familiarity with the nuts and bolts
of campus issues trumped that of
his predecessor, Jasmin Jones.
“Hogan has been much more
hands-on and much more aware
of the ins and outs of the issues,”
he said.
Medlin also levied his influence
on student life projects.
He invested most in the Arts
Innovation Steering Committee,
which designed an arts advocacy
project that met overwhelming
approval when presented to the
Board of Trustees.
He said the project is well on
its way to reaching his fundraising
goal of $100,000 by August after
receiving a significant donation

Former carnival singer to become
Haiti’s new president after runoff
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti
(MCT) — A carnival singer who
reinvented himself into a pol-
ished political outsider is poised
to become Haiti’s new president,
according to sources familiar with
the results that were expected to
be released later Monday.
Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly,
50, has received more than the
required 50 percent plus one of
the vote required to beat long-
time opposition leader and for-
mer first lady Mirlande Manigat
to win Haiti’s first presidential
runoff election in a quarter cen-
tury. Martelly reportedly won the
election by a 3-1 margin.
make it even more difficult to move
the men to a federal jurisdiction.
Some evidence experts have also
suggested that the case could be
tried more easily at the war court
in southeast Cuba before a military
judge and jury because CIA agents
had waterboarded Mohammed
secretly overseas before transferring
him to Guantanamo.
Changes in the way military
commissions are conducted also
might move the cases more quickly
because the men might be permit-
ted to plead guilty to orchestrat-
ing the 9/11 attacks. The Bush
administration had sought the
death penalty soon after the trans-
fer of Mohammed and four other
men from years of secret custody
and interrogations by the CIA in
September 2006. Whatever the
reason for the change, it was a huge
about-face by Obama, a former con-
stitutional law professor.

N&W
The preliminary results of
Haiti’s March 20 elections were
transmitted at 8 a.m. Monday
to the executive director of the
Provisional Electoral Council,
whose members triggered momen-
tary panic Sunday evening when
they unexpectedly showed up at
the vote tabulation center where
tally sheets were undergoing a
final scrutiny for fraud.
The second round of elections
for the presidential and legisla-
tive races were better organized
than the first round. But like the
chaotic Nov. 28 first round, the
runoffs were also marred by fraud
and irregular voting.
in southern Egypt
CAIRO, Egypt (MCT) — The
long and incendiary reign of
Yemeni President Ali Abdullah
Saleh showed no sign of ending
quietly Monday as fresh bloodshed
threatened the nation amid efforts
by U.S. and European officials to
ease weeks of protest and danger-
ous political maneuvering that
could ignite a civil war. At least 11
people were killed Monday when
police opened fire for the second
consecutive day on tens of thou-
sands of protesters in the southern
city Taiz. In the Red Sea town of
Hudaida, hundreds of demonstra-
tors were wounded when security
forces shot tear gas and bullets to
halt a predawn march on the pres-
idential palace. Yemen’s strategic
location has made it a key ele-
ment in Washington’s counter-
terrorism efforts.

Forget
Adderall,
go take
a walk
N
ow that the trees are in
bloom and the weather
seems to be warming up
for good, the arboretum is once
again the best study spot on
campus.
The few students who take
advantage of this sanctuary know
how conducive it is to both focus
and relaxation. The rest of us
are missing out. Here are four
reasons to wake up and smell the
roses … and azaleas, trilliums and
rhododendrons.
n Outdoor activity reduces
stress. A recent study on
a Japanese practice called
“Shinrin-yoku,” or forest-
bathing, was published in the
journal Environmental Health
and Preventive Medicine. In it,
subjects were divided into two
groups, both of which engaged in
the same activities.
The study indicated that
walking through wooded areas
decreases cortisol levels, indi-
cating lowered stress. Another
study put subjects through a
series of stressful math tests,
and then placed them in front
of either a window overlooking
a grassy lawn, a TV showing
a live video feed of that lawn
or a blank wall. Those placed
in front of the window experi-
enced the quickest decrease in
heart rate.
n Time spent in nature
improves concentration.
Researchers have shown that
time outside in green settings
may be an effective treatment for
children with ADHD.
These findings extend to
people without ADHD but with
inattention symptoms similar
to those with the condition.
One psychologist suggests that
prolonged focus, requiring the
rejection of external stimuli,
can bring about these symp-
toms.
Especially given our long
“cram sessions” and exams, UNC
students are not immune to
“attention fatigue,” and can cer-
tainly benefit from the attention-
restorative properties of nature.
n Hanging out with plant
life is good for your immune
system. Studies have shown a
link between being outdoors
and increased white blood cells
and cancer-fighting cells in the
body. Considering also the well-
established correlation between
stress and illness, greenery’s
relaxing effects seem them-
selves to be a powerful immune
system boost.
n Being outdoors makes you
happier. Research published in
the Journal of Environmental
Psychology last year found that
natural outings promote energy
and vitality. Another study indi-
cates that simply viewing green
settings makes people feel “more
hopeful about the future” and
improves their coping skills.
In several European coun-
tries, “care farms” for the clini-
cally depressed let patients work
outside and tend gardens. Their
results and the research that
inspired them demonstrate that
time spent in nature has a mea-
surably positive effect on our
mood.
Especially with finals com-
ing up, look to nature as an
opportunity for relaxation and
refocusing. Benches in the arbo-
retum and in the North Carolina
Botanical Garden across U.S.
15-501 are a wonderful place
to read and write. And local
trails like those in Battle Park,
by Bolinwood Drive and behind
Ehringhaus are perfect for a reju-
venating walk or jog.

A modest tenure for Medlin
Medlin’s leadership simply didn’t live up to
what tough times demanded of him
D
uring our endorsement
interviews, the editorial
board asked Student
Body President-elect Mary
Cooper to evaluate student
government’s performance this
past year. She posed a simple
question: “What has the Medlin
administration done on a day-
to-day basis for students?”
Now that she is assuming the
role of student body president,
it is a constructive question to
revisit in reflecting on Hogan
Medlin’s time in office.
In most ways, it is disap-
pointingly similar to past
administrations. Medlin’s ten-
ure will be noted by his having
taken all of the least controver-
sial stances. He was the con-
summate establishment can-
didate — and his record is that
of a defender of the status quo.
Tough times called for unprec-
edented leadership. It is not
clear that Medlin delivered.
Tough tuition talks
This was bound to be a rough
year for any student body presi-
dent. It was an unenviable job.
In times as trying as these for the
University, the largely symbolic
student presence in decision
making can easily get cast aside.
But it was a job that Medlin will-
ingly signed up for.
In November, Medlin took a
stand for students by support-
ing a lower tuition increase than
what was passed by the Board of
Trustees. He was the lone dis-
senting vote. To be fair, the issues
were far bigger than him or his
authority. He ultimately made
the right symbolic move .
Ye t h i s a d v o c a c y s t i l l
felt somewhat shallow. He

General Assembly should
not pursue any degree
of line-item budget cutting
for UNC-system universities.
Instead, it should continue to
impose only discretionary cuts,
which allow those best informed
about the universities’ opera-

the legislature’s cuts.
To put it simply, our state
lawmakers are not as quali-
fied to make specific decisions
about which programs and
positions should be cut at each
school.
As Bruce Carney, executive
vice chancellor and provost at
UNC-CH, explained, “It’s their
job to make the budget work
in terms of balancing the rev-
enues and expenditures.”
It is not their job, howev-

lack of student presence at the
board meeting in November to
student resignation about the
University’s fiscal dilemma.
“Whoever my successor is
would say, ‘We’re here over the
summer. You can call us any-
time,’” he said, bemoaning the
lack of inclusion.
Why wait to be called on,
though? It can just as easily be
said that the onus is on the stu-
dent body president to engage
the trustees and the adminis-
tration. That’s the lesson for
his successor. As for students:
If Medlin felt that tuition could
still be lower despite the budget,
surely others did as well — they
merely needed to be organized.
It’s indicative of one of
Medlin’s biggest weaknesses.
He never seemed to challenge
the administration to justify
itself. He gave the impression
that he only wanted to do exact-
ly what was expected. He played
it safe.
Stuck on the status quo
The only thing Medlin
seemed eager to challenge was
change.
He showed little heart when
it came to the Association of
Student Governments. He
expressed concern over the
amount of money wasted on
stipends, then squandered
his first opportunity to vote
to lower them. His rhetoric
became more critical at the
end, when he was no longer
accountable to deliver results.
Little was done to justify UNC’s
investment or to improve it.
Several of Medlin’s actions on
legislation passed by Student
Congress also indicated an
attachment to a flawed status
quo. Medlin first refused to sign
reform that would update the
signature threshold required
for student body president can-
er, to oversee the day-to-day
operations of each university,
which line-item cuts would
almost allow them to do. Such
a roundabout way of control-
ling university policy would be
inefficient and confusing.
And let’s not forget that
our legislators are not profes-
sional administrators. They
have not made careers out of
understanding the complexi-
ties of running an institution of
higher education. There is no
guarantee that their decisions
would be in the best interest of
the schools affected.
Carney was polite but clear
in his assessment: “I would
assert that I would know best
how to allocate the cuts and
make sure we preserve the core
of the University.” For a group
of legislators — largely fresh-
men — to presume otherwise

didates to be certified. That leg-
islation made the requirement
fulfill its purpose: ensuring only
the most dedicated candidates
move forward.
Medlin also vetoed a work-
able bill reforming election
districts, as well as reform of
a provision that would have
made it impossible to pull off
what his student body sec-
retary did this year: run for
elected office while a member
of the executive branch.
These weren’t reforms for
reform’s sake — all of these
efforts were concerted attempts
that would have moved student
government in the right direc-
tion. Medlin’s staunch opposi-
tion to them was profoundly
disappointing.
An uncertain legacy
Medlin’s lasting contribution
to campus is supposed to be his
plan for innovating the arts.
But it isn’t clear where that is
headed. So far, the committee
of big names and no-shows has
left the work to Medlin — and
it’s uncertain what will happen
when he’s gone.
Also, a significant amount
of duplication exists between
Me d l i n’s e ff o r t a n d t h e
arts and humanities work-
ing group, part of the larger
Innovate@Carolina project.
“The two groups are definite-
ly going to have to come togeth-
er on some way,” said Student
Body Secretary Ian Lee. He has
been in talks about how to gel
those efforts, but it isn’t clear
how that will be done yet.
In some ways, it’s a micro-
cosm of Medlin’s tenure: Good
intentions alone cannot over-
come the mere appearance of
substance. In the absence of
decisive, engaging leadership,
it’s unclear how lasting a student
body president’s legacy will be.
is at best patronizing and at
worst hubristic.
The legislature’s apparent
desire for more direct control
might stem from skepticism
about the earnestness of UNC-
system officials’ efforts thus far
to make cuts. Again, such skepti-
cism is patronizing and insulting
in the face of the 900 adminis-
trative positions the UNC system
has eliminated in recent years.
We hope our legislators will
respect how hard UNC-system
administrators have worked
to weather huge cuts without
doing permanent damage to
our state’s excellent schools.
In today’s economic cli-
mate, North Carolina’s legisla-
tors should be supporting our
administrators, not undermin-
ing them. After all, they’re all
supposed to be on the same
side.

jason, on the armed robbery at morrison dorm
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DPS should have alerted
UNC of armed men in dorm
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing this letter with
utmost concern and conviction for
the safety of students at UNC.
The incident at Morrison dorm
on Monday morning is serious
and grave. I am grossly disap-
pointed with the choices that DPS
made when deciding whether to
activate Alert Carolina.
The system should have
been activated to alert students
on campus that there may be
an armed suspect on campus.
Granted, this may have caused
some panic amongst students,
but it would have been for their
own safety. If this individual was
brave enough to enter a dorm on
University property and wield a
gun against another student,
what is stopping him from doing
the same elsewhere on campus?
I do hope that there will be an
institutional review of this sys-
tem and this choice so that this
error can and will not be made
again, for our safety is at stake.
What is the point of having a
multi-million dollar system if we
are not going to use it when “an
armed and dangerous person (is)
on or near campus?”
Hopefully we will never be
put in a position again where
the use of Alert Carolina is nec-
essary. But I hope that if there is
a next time, our law enforcement
will make a more conscientious
decision and alert the students
and staff of UNC.

University should allow
Snoop Dogg to perform
TO THE EDITOR:
There’s been a lot of debate
about whether Snoop Dogg
should be able to perform at
UNC. Personally, I’m not a big
fan, but I believe it’s ridiculous
that the University may stop him
from performing.
For one, it’s a concert they
didn’t have to organize — the
students themselves took the ini-
tiative and won the concert. UNC
has to pay nothing out of pocket
and Electronic Arts is doing the
majority of the work — we just
have to provide the venue.
With regards to the issue sur-
rounding Snoop’s songs, I find it
a bit ludicrous. First, the claim
that Snoop Dogg was guilty of
sexual assault is simply untrue:
The accuser dropped the case
in 2005. Sure, it’d be naive of
us to believe that he’s not some-
one with a past — firearm and
marijuana charges make up a
long criminal record — but if
we aren’t going to allow anyone
that’s made mistakes to perform,
UNC won’t have anyone left for
concerts.
I find it rather ironic that a
school that’s supposed to be open
minded and liberal may not allow
a rapper to perform. Duke gets
Lupe, UVa got Lady Gaga earlier
this school year, even East Carolina
University got Wiz Khalifa. Passion
Pit is a cool band, but they do not
have the wide appeal that other
artists do. The one time we have
a rather mainstream artist come
to our school, the University may
prevent it.

In real world, guns help in
defense against criminals
TO THE EDITOR:
After reading Michael Foote’s
letter on Monday (“Nightmare
gun rights logic is twisted and
outdated”), my first thought was
that Mr. Foote had originally
intended to have his letter pub-
lished on April Fool’s Day.
After all, how else can anyone
with a straight face condemn
citizens from seeking to protect
themselves when facing an armed
and potentially dangerous crimi-
nal? I suppose in Mr. Foote’s ideal
world, criminals may be friendly,
unarmed people who never wish to
do any harm, but in the world that
the rest of us live in, this couldn’t
be further from the truth.
In England earlier this year,
police officials were forced to warn
residents not to install wire mesh
in their windows because doing
so could injure burglars who fre-
quently smash in unprotected
windows in order to gain access
to homes and storage units.
While this logic may appear
ludicrous to some, this is exactly
the type of logic that Mr. Foote
proposed in his anti-Second
Amendment letter on Monday.
Let’s just hope that for every-
one’s sake, our society will con-
tinue to value the rights of indi-
vidual citizens to life and liberty
over the rights of criminals to
harm and maim us without fear
of retribution.

Restrictive gun laws don’t
always decrease violence
TO THE EDITOR:
To elaborate on the objections
of Katie Noonan (“More guns
won’t solve the campus’ safety
issues,” March 30) and oth-
ers from the UNC community
regarding concealed carry on
college campuses, there seems to
be a disconnect between the per-
ceived effect of gun control laws
and the success statistics accom-
panying these regulations.
For example, when England
instituted the most restrictive
firearms legislation in the EU
in 1997, overall gun crime in
the following years skyrocketed.
Since 1998, the number of people
injured by firearms per year has
increased more than twofold.
Additionally, the United
Kingdom currently has a higher
crime rate per capita (85 per
1,000) despite its highly restric-
tive gun laws, compared to the
United States (80 per 1,000.)
Outlawing firearms does not
stop violent crime from occur-
ring and in some examples may
encourage criminals.
I would guess that less than
1 percent of the student body
currently has a concealed carry
permit, and I would not feel any
more anxiety about these indi-
viduals carrying a firearm than
I do about the DPS officers who
carry firearms on campus every
day. Concealed carry of firearms
provides responsible individu-
als with the ability to defend
themselves in dire situations.
Concealed carry allows a person
to protect their life and the lives
of those around them when the
police are not present.
