INSIDE THE FUND

UNCs $2.1 billion endowment is made up of three overall funds and provides additional services the University would otherwise not be able to provide, such as scholarships and professorships. The daily Tar Heel broke down the largest segment to show what money could be up for grabs.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. With a little more than four minutes to play in the first half Tuesday night, the North Carolina mens basketball team was tied with the No. 1 team in the country. But in the next 24 minutes of basketball, the Indiana Hoosiers (7-0) proved why they deserve that ranking. Indiana outscored the No. 14 Tar Heels by 24 points the rest of the way to take the game by a score of 83-59. Theyre a pretty good team, senior guard Dexter Strickland said. Theyre not No. 1 for no reason. The Hoosiers put the Tar Heels away by holding them to a dismal 28 percent field goal percentage in the second half. Meanwhile, Indiana was knocking down better than 42 percent. It was 31-31, and then we just have a drought, coach Roy Williams said. We dont put the ball in the basket the last two or three minutes of the half. I took Marcus (Paige) out because he already had two fouls, and I didnt want him to give up his third foul. And then we start the second half and we make one

of our first 18 shots. The Hoosiers snatched the momentum back from North Carolina (5-2) in the closing minutes of the first half with a swift 15-6 run that included two thunderous dunks one from Victor Oladipo, the other from Cody Zeller. Both of those slams came as the result of tough defense by the Hoosiers that forced a turnover and a missed James Michael McAdoo shot.

Student government hosts an Endowment 101 forum tonight.

By Caroline Leland
Staff Writer

In the face of steep tuition hikes last year, student protesters demanded to know why the Universitys endowment was not used to minimize the burden on students. Today, after more than a year and several delays, administrators will deliver on their promise to host a forum to explain the

endowment to students. The forum, which is hosted by the environmental affairs committee of student government, will feature a panel of administrators including Chancellor Holden Thorp and Jon King, CEO of UNC Management Company, which manages the endowment. Student Body President Will Leimenstoll said the forum will help students understand the purpose of the endowment, how much money there is and where that money goes. We know this is an issue that may be on the back burner, he said. But this is the year to educate ourselves on issues surround-

ing the endowment and tuition so that when tuition discussions are pressing, well have more facts. Tuition discussions were markedly more subdued this year, as a $600 increase for in-state undergraduates in 2013-14 had already been approved. But student interest in the $2.1 billion endowment hasnt waned. The endowment is composed primarily of private funds. Donors designate the allocation of their money. The donated money is then invested, and interest from the investments contributes to UNCs long-term growth.

Representatives from Chapel Hill, Carrboro and UNC voted Tuesday to support a more lenient bus advertising policy. The Chapel Hill Public Transit Committee is asking the Chapel Hill Town Council to support an advertising policy that would allow for political, religious and issue-oriented advertising on Chapel Hill Transit buses. The policy suggested Tuesday would also allow advertisements in these categories to be partial toward or against certain issues something the approved policy did not allow. This option is the same as the draft policy that was presented to the council on June 13, 2011 and subsequently used by town transit

staff. It does not define bus ads as a public forum, which could lead to offensive or obscene ads. The bus ad program was called into question in August after an ad advocating for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel first sparked the discussion about the towns ability to restrict such ads. Town staff then discovered in October that they had been following the draft policy, and not

ACC les lawsuit against Maryland to ensure exit fee is paid

Maryland must pay a $52.3 million withdrawal fee to the ACC.
By Amanda Albright
Staff Writer

The Atlantic Coast Conference is used to having its members fight out their battles on the field but the next clash will take place in a courthouse. In the wake of the University of Marylands decision to leave the ACC, the conference filed a lawsuit

against the university on Monday. Rather than try to keep the university in the ACC, the conference wants to ensure Maryland pays its hefty $52.3 million withdrawal fee. Since the universitys decision to join the Big Ten, Maryland President Wallace Loh has said the fee is illegal and unenforceable. The fee was raised from approximately $21.8 million by the ACC Council of Presidents in September. Loh voted against the increase. There is the expectation that Maryland will fulfill its exit fee obligation, ACC Commissioner John Swofford said in a statement.

Frank LoMonte, executive director of the Student Press Law Center, said Maryland willingly entered the contract, so it has to pay the fee. I dont know what Marylands legal theory could be they are smart, grown-up people with lawyers, he said. Marylands departure sparked further speculation about the future of the ACC and the potential reshuffling of schools in other conferences. On Tuesday, the Big East Conference announced East Carolina University will be joining it as a football member starting in 2014.

Coyte Cooper, a UNC sports administration professor, said other members, such as UNC, could join Maryland in its departure from the ACC. The $50 million exit fee doesnt seem to be deterring people (from leaving), he said. UNC would probably consider (leaving) if people keep moving. Karen Weaver, professor of sports administration at Drexel University, said other conferences have more attractive funding models than the ACC.

he Onion has undoubtedly fooled us all into believing that a story about hyperspeed buses was real. Now, the satirical news outlet has fooled China. After naming Kim Jong-Un supreme leader of North Korea the Sexiest Man Alive in a snarky story, the Peoples Daily of China picked it up in earnest. The republished Peoples Daily piece included some of The Onions dripping satirical text and a slideshow of Kim Jong-Un that they created. Sarcasm is probably censored in China, so a misunderstanding was imminent. The real question is what will happen to the guy who picked the story up for publication.

Shelton Station progresses

The developer held a meeting Tuesday for the projects neighbors.

Chamber of Commerce now accepting nominations for Business of the Year
The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2012 Business of the Year Awards for businesses and nonprofits that demonstrate outstanding performance. There are four categories of awards for small, mid-size and large businesses as well as nonprofits. Awards will be presented at the annual chamber meeting Jan. 29 at the Sheraton Hotel in Chapel Hill. Nominations are due by 5 p.m. Jan. 4.

The Shelton Station development is no longer just an idea its a work in progress. The developer of the project which would be located at 500 N. Greensboro St. and include retail, office and residential space held an informational meeting Tuesday for neighbors. Kenneth Reiter, owner of Belmont Sayre and the developer of Shelton Station, spoke on the developments progress in obtaining permits. After meeting with six committees and advisory boards last summer and receiving input from the town of Carrboro in October, Reiter said the next step is to host a public hearing in January.

He said plans for the development include retail and office space and 94 apartments, 20 percent of which are to be affordable housing. In all reality, itll probably be half offices, maybe one restaurant use, and the rest will be retail use, he said. He thinks the development will fill the need for more office space in Carrboro. I probably will move my offices there, he said. But many nearby residents have expressed concern about traffic patterns and the possibility that Greensboro Street may need to be widened in the future. It seems almost inevitable that were going to see some sort of pressure to widen the road, said Lisa Hamill, a property owner in Carrboro who attended the informational meeting. She said she is concerned neighbors near the development could lose some of their yard space if the road is widened,

even if it is a right of way. I think Carrboro is going to grow one way or another, she said. If it can grow in a thoughtful, well-planned, environmentally wise, community-minded way, then thats a blessing for Carrboro. Reiter said the company has revised the permit to address neighbors concerns about traffic patterns. He said he has reduced the size of the project to keep the road from being widened which he doesnt think is the right solution for Carrboro. You cant necessarily build as much as you would like because of traffic patterns and stuff like that, he said. David Jessee, Shelton Stations property owner, said he understands increased traffic is part of the deal with the development. When we dont have traffic, we have a problem, he said. Reiter said he also wants to focus on reducing the carbon

footprint of the development by encouraging alternate forms of transportation like bikes and public transit. Reiter, who is also a Carrboro resident, said he has kept the needs of the town in mind throughout the development process. No project addresses every plus and minus, but I think there are a lot more pluses, he said. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

holiday tour celebrates essence of historic homes

By Cheney Gardner
Staff Writer

This holiday season, seven historic Chapel Hill homes will open their doors to the public. On Dec. 8 and 9, the Preservation Society of Chapel Hill will host its annual Holiday House Tour. In honor of the Societys 40th anniversary, this year the tour will be held in the FranklinRosemary Historic District the first neighborhood in Chapel Hill to be listed as a National Historic District. This is a special tour for us because were celebrating what weve been able to accomplish over the last 40 years, said Cheri Szcodronski, the societys interim executive director. But this isnt the first time the tour has been held in the Franklin-Rosemary Historic District. We do a different neighborhood every year, said Szcodronski. But sometimes we come back to neighborhoods that are especially popular. Weve done this one a handful of times. The tour has also been held

in the Cameron-McCauley Historic District, historic downtown churches, Battle Park neighborhood, Tenney Circle and Greenwood neighborhood. This years tour features seven houses, including the societys headquarters the Horace Williams House and the Betty Smith House, which was the first house to be saved by the society. After Betty Smith, who wrote A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, died in 1972, the house was scheduled to be demolished to make room for an apartment complex. Georgia Kyser and Ida Friday, who sat on the Chapel Hill Appearance Commission, stepped in to form the Preservation Society to buy the property. Of the seven houses this year, many are important to the history of Chapel Hill and the history of the preservation society, said Evan Rodewald, the House Tour committee chairman. Rodewald said the tour is the societys biggest event, drawing more than 600 attendees last year. Its also a way of introducing

the community to the history of Chapel Hill, he said. The tour raises money for historic preservation efforts by offering the community a unique way to see, experience and celebrate the essence of what we work so hard to preserve, he said. Beth Isenhour, second vice president of the society, has worked with the Holiday House Tour for more than a

decade. She said she enjoys seeing the way homeowners have adapted the historic homes for their lifestyles. Im excited for the community to be able to go into these homes that theyve walked by for all these years, and now the doors will be open for them to go in, she said.

Glue of journalism school to retire

Administrative assistant Jo Bass has worked at the school for 21 years.
By Resita Cox
Staff Writer

The deans suite in Carroll Hall will have an unfamiliar silence starting Friday, as longtime administrative assistant Jo Bass will leave her desk for the last time. Bass, who has held the position in the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication since 1991, will be retiring this week. She worked for five deans in her more than 20 years at the journalism school. It has always been a very congenial place to work a good group of people to work with, she said. The faculty and the staff have always gotten along beautifully.

Chris Roush, senior associate dean of the school, said the deans suite will feel different in her absence. She was the person who started the conversations in the deans suite, Roush said. She is usually the first person to know when something important is going on. Although Bass did not work directly with students in the journalism school, Roush said she still played a very important role. Its like she is part of the school, although she doesnt teach, he said. She is kind of the glue of the school, the part that keeps everyone going. Bass acts as the primary scheduler for the suite, managing appointments for the dean. She grew up in Burlington and came to Chapel Hill in 1991 in hopes of finding a new job. I had always done different types of work, Bass said. I had

worked in hospitals and police departments, so I thought working at the University would be interesting. Bass said she reached her decision to retire with the help of two important people in her life. I have two grandchildren who are six and nine, so I decided it is time to move on to the next phase in my life and move a little closer to them, she said. Bass said her position has given her the opportunity to meet many people in the media industry, and she said she is leaving the office with plenty of memories and friends.

It has been a great experience here Ive been able to travel and have met lots of interesting people, she said. It has been a very educational and entertaining place to work. Jan Yopp, dean of summer school and a journalism professor, has worked with Bass for the entirety of her time at UNC. It is going to be strange to walk in at Carroll 118 and not see her looking back at you out of her office, Yopp said. She referred to Bass as the fountain of old knowledge because she has spent time working for so many deans. She has been there for so many years that she is a walking history book in many ways, she said. Jo is just one of those rocks that the school has rested on for so many years, and we will miss her.

Since 1854, the state of North Carolina has owned a majority of the stock in the private N.C. Railroad Company. Now the state is the sole shareholder in the company and it wants to make a profit from its investment. The Program Evaluation Division, a nonpartisan oversight group in the states legislature, recommended in a recent report that the company should begin paying annual dividends, equivalent to 25 percent of its total revenue, to the state, in addition to giving 14 unused properties to the state to be sold. The annual 25 percent dividend would equal about $3.7 million. The report recommends that the company also pay a one-time $15.5 million dividend to the state. Jim Horne, senior program evaluator at the division, said the company last paid a dividend in 2005, and past dividends were required to be used only for improving railroads. The report also recommends that the dividends be allocated to the states general fund. That way it can be used for any other purpose, Horne said. But Scott Saylor, railroad company president, said if the dividend was collected, some projects might not be completely funded, including bridge replacements and track improvements. Saylor said the company is self-supporting and does not receive any state appropriation. He said it is a revenue generator for the state. We pay property taxes and some income taxes, he said. He said the company invests 80 percent of its revenue in track improvements, including wider bridges, new tracks and new underpasses, as well as making tracks available for passenger rail services such as Amtrak. The other 20 percent is spent on operating costs and surveys, Saylor said. We do think these are recommendations we can work with, he said. Were working with the General Assembly because we realize these are difficult budget times. Rep. Marcus Brandon, D-Guilford and a member of the N.C. House of Representatives Transportation Committee, said the railroad companys unused properties were originally bought to expand the railroad, but were never used. Now what we have is a situation where we have a lot of land we dont use, he said. For now, Brandon said he is not interested in the other parts of the divisions proposal, which he said could leave the private business with less money to improve the railroad lines. But as a train rider himself, Brandon said he knows many people use the railroads for passenger travel, and even more will as the rail system develops and improves. If we can get there, then I think everyone will see the usefulness of it, he said. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

From the final minute of the first half through the first six minutes of the second, Indiana didnt allow the Tar Heels a single field goal. Zeller finished the night with a game-high 20 points and pulled in 8 rebounds. He also swatted away four shots. But he didnt just dominate from inside the paint, he also illustrated his athleticism in the way he outpaced the Tar Heels in transition. Hes an athletic big, said a downtrodden Desmond Hubert after the loss. Hes physical. He runs the floor well. Hes just like his brother, hes just a little bit more athletic. But Zeller wasnt the only Hoosier making an impact. Oladipo and Will Sheehey both added 19 points and as a team,

Junior Sean Langberg, who was active in tuition protests last spring, said administrative transparency is necessary for students like him to understand the endowment.

We want the University to drop its investments in coal, said Boss, who is also a columnist for The Daily Tar Heel. Katie Orndahl, Sierra Student Coalition media coordinator, said she wants more accountability in how the money is allocated. Student Body Vice President Rachel Myrick said the goals of advocacy groups are admirable, but she has broader aims. Offensive material is an important point to clarify, Coleman said. He said political issues such as the Church of Reconciliations bus ad could be offensive to some residents and just an opinion to others. Other suggestions included banning all bus ads or reimplementing the policy originally approved by the council. Though the committee recommended the bus advertising policy continue as is, Ward said the committee would be willing to revisit the issue. The Chapel Hill Town Council will vote on a policy at the Dec. 3 meeting. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

tion, but he hopes the forum will finally bring an answer. I hope to learn a lot, because we dont know anything, he said. Thats the problem here students have no idea where the money is going. Confusion like that comes with the territory, said Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance Kevin Seitz. University endowments are complicated by nature, he said. Its something that takes some time to understand. Some students are more concerned with the environmental sustainability of who use our transit system, he said. I think its important for us to be sensitive to the kinds of images and words that will be allowed. Ralph Karpinos, Chapel Hill town attorney, said treating the ads as a public forum would allow for a broader range of ads. But certain advertisements could not be excluded, he said. It would be much less discretion on what you can exclude in a public forum situation, Karpinos said. Carrboro Alderman Dan Coleman said he worried about clarity in some of the suggested policy changes. The recommended policy would prohibit ads that a sensible person would consider offensive, Karpinos said.

the approved policy which restricted political and religious ads. On Oct. 24, the Town Council froze the bus ad program after realizing the oversight. The presence of religious, social, and political advertisements was the primary concern of the committee on Tuesday. Chapel Hill town councilman Jim Ward said he doesnt support having the ads as a public forum because it could harm Chapel Hill Transit. (It) could have a negative impact on the 7 million people

The Big Ten, the Pac-12, the SEC and the Big 12 are the only conferences not hemorrhaging folks, she said. The Big Ten Conference equally distributes its revenue to member schools, which is why the conference has not lost members, Weaver said. The conference distributed $284 million to its 12 schools at the end of the last fiscal year, according to ESPN. Coyte said Maryland decided to leave the ACC because the increase in revenue from the Big Ten will help save athletics programs operating in a deficit. In the summer, Maryland eliminated seven of its varsity teams to offset the deficit. Coyte, who worked with the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, said its disappointing that schools make decisions for student athletes based on money. Weaver said Marylands move to a new geographic conference will exhaust traveling student athletes and put extra pressure on teams to win in a more competitive conference. Its teams other than football lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, tennis and wrestling that compete a lot, she said. I dont know how theyre going to do it. Coyte said the pressure for college teams to win is partly to blame for academic scandals, like at UNC. Coyte said university administrators are responsible for making wise monetary and athletics decisions in the best interests of student athletes. When you have this much pressure to win, it affects their ability to be a student. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

Lawsuit challenges ban on women in combat
SAN FRANCISCO (MCT) The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense, challenging its policy that since 1994 has categorically excluded women from most direct combat positions. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on behalf of a first lieutenant with the U.S. Marine Corps and three servicewomen who formerly served with the Marine Corps Reserves, California Air National Guard and Army Reserves. The policy, the suit alleges, has been outpaced by reality. Yet by remaining in effect, it unconstitutionally bans an entire class from even applying for upward of 238,000 jobs that remain off limits to them. Women are serving in combat, said Marine Capt. Zoe Bedell, 27, who in Afghanistan was in charge of a 46-member female engagement team that accompanied male infantry units to interact with civilian women. The lawsuit the second of its kind comes as the Pentagon has opened more positions to women on a trial basis while nonetheless holding firm to the blanket exclusion. Still, the suit argues, the disconnect with what attorneys for the servicewomen described as the realities of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan makes the ban obsolete. More than 14 percent of active military personnel and 20 percent of recruits are now women, according to Defense Department statistics.

GOP senators question Rice on Libya attack

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) Three Republican senators said they were unsatisfied by the answers of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice

after a fence-mending meeting on her disputed role after the terrorist attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya. After a one-hour meeting with Rice and acting CIA Director Michael Morrell, Sens. John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire each said they had more questions about how Rice came to characterize the Sept. 11 attack as a reaction to a U.S.-made film denigrating Islam. U.S. officials now say militants planned and carried out the attack. Rice is apparently President Barack Obamas leading choice to become the next secretary of state, and the meeting appeared to be an attempt to clear the way for a smooth Senate confirmation hearing. But the senators comments signaled that the choice would open a contentious confirmation, even though the White House likely would eventually prevail. Administration officials say that before appearing on

curiosity it would have been pretty clear that (the talking points were) far afield, Graham said. Were going to get to the bottom of this. But though the senators signaled their intentions to further challenge Rices statements, none suggested they would vote against her. The Democrats have a strong advantage in any confirmation fight because they would need to pick up only five GOP votes to block a filibuster.

The UNC womens rugby team gets ready for its match against UGA. UNC crushed the Bulldogs 33-7.

Ultimate
For the second time this season, UNC Darkside successfully defended a title. UNC defeated host UNCWilmington 15-13 in the final for the tourney title after beating Penn State, also by 15-13, in the semifinals, at Fall Easterns in Wilmington

Nov. 11. Rookies ,once again, rose up to the occasion when and made important defensive stops. However, this tournament was mostly about the veterans coming through late in the game with their backs to the walls. Christian Johnson and Jacob Mouw played particularly well on offense, while Tristan Green and Jon Nethercutt took control and ran the defense.Darkside ran tight lines for the semis and finals, playing the same seven on offense with a rotation of about 10 players on defense. UNC was down two points

late in the finals match until the offense hunkered down and scored on long points despite making uncharacteristic mistakes. Once a lead was obtained, the defense took over, breaking UNC-W twice in a row to close out the game. Its always nice to end the fall with a tournament win, head coach Mike DeNardis said. I was especially pleased with the way the finals went in that we were down all game, dug deep and really applied the pressure when we needed to get the win. Assistant Coach Matthew Scallet also provided insightful tips and motivation. Considering UNC played without a few integral players that will return next semester, they will be the clear favorite for the Atlantic Coast region heading into the spring.

leading the way in womens doubles. The Tar Heels had a close quarterfinals match against Davidson but pulled through behind a gutsy singles performance from junior Nancy Cannon. Sophomores Alan Hu and Will McDonald stepped up at mens doubles against N.C. State, which allowed mixed doubles pair Bill Ireland and Brianna Norris to complete the win over the Wolfpack. In the finals, UNC faced off against Duke for the second year in a row. With UNC leading by one game going into mixed doubles, Duke pulled out a 6-5 victory. Dukes experienced mixed doubles pair won the deciding tiebreaker and took the title. In a rain-shortened tournament, the UNC B-Team made it to the finals of the

consolation bracket. Behind strong play from seniors Matt Oakes and Stephanie Vlasis, the B-Team showed a lot of grit and tenacity. Injured Jack Jin cheered from the sidelines and provided moral support. Womens players Lindsay Cooper, Stephanie Vlasis, and Kate Medynskaya competed well and won several close matches. Simon Collis played solid singles throughout the tournament, winning a tough singles match over UNC-W. Brennan Doran and Andrew Varnard proved indispensable as they helped the Heels to an excellent result.

Womens Rugby
The UNC Womens Rugby team finished its 9-1 season in style, winning its last three matches including a 61-0 drubbing of East Carolina at Hooker Fields on Nov. 18. The previous weekend, UNC traveled to Athens for round-robin matches against the University of Georgia and the University of Tennessee defeating UGA 33-7 and UT 26-10. Beth Sherling, Jessica Meidinger, Katy Folk, Meredith Carter and Naya Tapper were named to the 2012-2013 North Carolina Rugby Union All-Star Team.

SNL writer speaks on value of brevity

By Andy Willard
Staff Writer

UNCs journalism school has been the starting point for many dignified professionals, but alumnus Bryan Tucker, who writes for Saturday Night Live, said he is far from dignified. While my peers wanted to delve deep into the issues, I wanted to tell jokes about my ding-a-ling, he said. Tucker came to Back Bar at Top of the Hill Tuesday night to give the inaugural Jeff MacNelly lecture to a sold-out crowd about how comedic writers use politics for material. Tucker is a writing supervisor for the late-night show SNL, and he has also written sketches for the likes of Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle. Susan King, dean of the

School of Journalism and Mass Communication, said the school wanted to bring someone who would give a different but equally important message as the schools last sponsored speaker, Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief Matthew Winkler. We had a strategy, King said. Its a political year: How can we do two major lectures that would emphasize critical issues in election year? Even though Tucker said a career in journalism was not for him, he emphasized that he learned many skills in the school that helped him in his career as a comedy writer. He said brevity and clarity fundamentals of journalism are crucial to comedy. Tucker also said the two careers are similar because they benefit from gifts that

can turn into stories or jokes. He said this year writers had to work harder because they were provided with fewer gifts than in the last election. But he did give examples of some of the things the writers of SNL latched on to. Thank goodness for Joe Biden, he would probably hug you while crying if you gave him a Twizzler, Tucker said. Tuckers brand of political satire resonated with the crowd as attendees laughed at the many one-liners he delivered during the speech, as well as at the clips of SNL that he played. Tucker also raised legitimate concerns about the number of people who get their information from satirical sources. If youre getting your news from late-night comedy shows, youre not doing your-

self any favors, he said. But senior Mary Dickson, on the other hand, thinks there is an important aspect to having news delivered in a satirical form. I dont think it influences peoples decisions, but it definitely gets the point out there to young people, she said. Dickson, a management and society major, said she watches SNL with her roommates every week. King said she hoped students took away an important message about the value of a journalism degree. You walk away and say, There are many different routes I can take with this kind of foundational experience of understanding. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

STEP Music royalty to join UNC collection opens UNCs doors

James Taylors family is donating personal records to UNC.
By David Scarisbrick
Staff Writer

The program helps transfer students to excel at UNC.

By Taryn Rothstein
Staff Writer

Roy Dawson always wanted to be an attorney. But when he dropped out of high school, the likelihood didnt seem great. Now, after attending Alamance Community College and transferring to UNC his junior year, he is a student in the UNC School of Law and he said he credits his success to C-STEP. C-STEP the Carolina Student Transfer Excellence Program targets low- and moderate-income students, guaranteeing that those who complete the program will be admitted to the University. When you are at a community college, you dont usually set your sights too high, Dawson said. I dont think the average community college student even thinks that Carolina is a possibility. The program began in 2006 with three original community college partners Alamance Community College, Durham Technical Community College and Wake Technical Community College and only six students. It has since expanded to eight community colleges across North Carolina and more than 300 C-STEP students, with the most recent community college Sandhills Community College having been added this semester. Rebecca Egbert, C-STEP program director, said the program serves about 10 to 15 students at each community college. Perry Hardison, C-STEP adviser at Alamance Community College, said Alamance now has 34 C-STEP students between the freshman and sophomore classes. In the early years of the program we did not always have the full 15 (students), he said. Now it has expanded so much that Carolina has even let us have a few extra students because in the last couple of slots, the candidates were equally qualified. Of the first four classes that graduated through the program, the average GPA was 3.0, and the overall graduation rate for C-STEP students was 80 percent. The program began with the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation and is now funded by multiple foundations in North Carolina, such as the Triad Foundation, along with individual donors. Hardison said he believes that the program succeeds in preparing community college students for life at UNC. The students who go through the program have an easier time with the cultural shift from a small community college to a big research institution like Carolina, he said. They dont have struggles that other students have. Dawson said he thinks the program is important because many community college students do not normally see UNC as a possibility. So having advisers there on the lookout for gifted students helps bridge that gap and helps (them) make it to Carolina and succeed. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

The family whose son has gone to Carolina in his mind is becoming a permanent facet in the annals of Southern history. The Taylor family, known for folk musician James Taylor, will have some of its personal records featured as a collection in UNCs Southern Historical Collection, located in Wilson Library. The collection, Taylor Family Papers, will constitute one of the 5,000 collections within the Southern Historical Collection. Tim West, director of the Southern Historical Collection, said he is looking forward to the Taylors cultural contribution to Southern history. Our mission is to document the cultural life of this area, and youd be remiss not to include the Taylors, West said. West said so far the library has received a set of oral history interviews with Trudy Taylor that were filmed by her granddaughter, Liz Witham. Were aiming for a collection that would document all members of the family, West said. This includes photographs, correspondences audio recordings, anything that would help to detail the family.

lings grew up in Chapel Hill. Their father, Isaac, UNC alumnus of 1942, was dean of the UNC School of Medicine from 1964 to 1971. The medical schools Taylor Hall was named after him. To celebrate his familys contribution to the Southern Historical Collection, Ben Taylor son of James Taylor and Carly Simon performed at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro in October with his aunt, Kate Taylor. The celebration coincided with his grandmother Trudy Taylors 90th birthday. Tess Mangum Ocana, concerts director for the ArtsCenter, said she was excited the venue was able to be a part of the ceremony. Weve never had any of the Taylors before, and were

very happy that the Southern Historical Collection asked us to be a part of this, she said. The Taylors are North Carolina music royalty. We have a special place in our hearts for them. Ben Taylor said he is honored by his familys recognition in the collection. Its a tremendous honor, he said. I can still remember hanging out with the family in Chapel Hill. Its really an honor not that I believe that our family deserves any such recognition. West said the collection is an ongoing archival project, with no immediate end in sight. Like many archival collections of individuals and families, building the Taylor family collection is an ongoing project. Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

adies and gentlemen of the jury, I bring you Sufjan Stevens. Reindeer headbands and Santa hats are most commonly associated with your Grandmas kitschy attic but at his concert Sunday night, these things were the centerpiece of Sufjans performance. In the audience, there were more tacky sweaters than at a faculty holiday party. This milieu is exactly what Christy Wampole, Princeton University professor and author of the recent New York Times op-ed How to Live Without Irony seems to find irritating. In the article, Wampole writes of Generation Ys inability to be sincere, describing the mythical hipster as someone who can frivolously invest in sham social capitol. Audiences relate to the heavy religious and suburban references in Stevens music a self-professed silliness that somehow accompanies the sacred. He wears American flag T-shirts while spinning parables about consumer culture. This, I suppose, is ironic. But it is also redemptive, and emblematic of what writer David Foster Wallace might call the new sincerity, or the radical idea that there is more than one way to express what we mean. Irony, like any other social lubricant, has the ability to be both vapid and truthful. Nostalgia, Wampole writes in her essay, needs time. But, ironically (yes, ironically), by holding the 20th century up as a ledger of social morality, she suffers from the same malaise she accuses hipsters of: turning toward an incomplete notion of the past in order to achieve a more authentic present. Sure, there are many ridiculous elements amplified in the hipster lifestyle (as with the hippies and punks) that make for very funny parodies. We have the TV show Portlandia for that. But rejecting the hipster for the colonization of the Kef scarf is like rejecting organic food because of the overzealous lady at the grocery. There is always a risk that identity can become an ideologue of performance, and technology accentuates a fear of vulnerability. I find most of my friends (traditionally hipster or not) occupy the same sort of space that Stevens does tender toward the composition of the American Dream, but desirous of a better personal and political landscape. This may be ironic (by Wampoles odd definition), but it isnt wrong. Insincerity is not the affliction of irony: insincerity is the affliction of insincerity. I am leery of the sort of academic provincialism that distills Generation Y to a flannel shirt and then calls bluff on flannel. Thats cultural reductionism at its worst. If you want to live a genuine life and communicate genuine things, the exterior should matter little. Instead of disassociating with specific habits (as if biking and vinyls are mere parodies of choice) lets write more thankyou-notes, say I love you in person rather than online and unapologetically declare a quiet ownership of our beliefs. To Wampole, and whoever else sounds the dirge of sincerity: delve deeper. In prematurely eulogizing authenticity, there is the risk that it will walk right past us.

Open up the process

EDiTOriAl

The chancellor search group should name its finalists.

s the University searches for its next chancellor, the committee charged with the task is operating in secrecy while narrowing its selection down to three finalists. At that point, UNCsystem President Thomas Ross will give his recommendation for hire to the Board of Governors. State law allows applicant information to be kept confidential, according to an email from Vice Chancellor and General Counsel Leslie Strohm. But UNCs next chancellor will, for good reason, have many different constituents to satisfy. For this reason, the University should institute a more transparent process for this chancellor and those to come in the future. Although the committee held public forums to solicit input on the selection process, this alone simply isnt enough in the way of openness. The public deserves to be informed when the committee selects the finalists. Some of the Universitys most highprofile deans are rightly subject to rigorous, public vetting upon being named finalists. Being the next chancellor of UNC can rightly be perceived as a pinnacle of ones academic career.

Candidates should be proud to have their names announced as finalists. It is understandable that finalists working in positions at other institutions might feel that having name linked to the search could put their current job at risk. But, as finalists, they should be willing to put themselves in that position for a chance at one of the most prestigious university leaders in the country. UNC touts itself as one of the elite public universities in the nation. And yet, in this regard, it is woefully behind some of its peers. In fact, many states have laws explicitly prohibiting the very secrecy that this search committee deems vital. In Florida where the University of Florida is currently undergoing a search for a new president all meetings in which the field of candidates is being narrowed or recommendations are being made are open to the public. UNCs search committee shouldnt need to release every single name they have considered. But the public has a right to know those candidates who have applied, accepted interviews and truly want the position. UNC has been called the University of the people. It belongs to every citizen of the state, not just to the 21 members of

the search committee. It is important that the University and the committee pursue an open selection process. They should give candidates the opportunity to address the community and the community the chance to meet and interact with the candidates. In light of the recent scandals that have rocked the University, and led to the resignation of Chancellor Holden Thorp, its all the more important to start the next chancellorship with an open and public selection process. Secrecy does little to fix the cover-up reputation that has haunted the University of late. Beyond just naming the candidates, some other schools require candidate interviews to be public and allow for an open forum, as well. Candidates are brought to campus and participate in forums. Participants in these forums include the board of trustees, faculty, students and the community at-large. Potential candidates should be eager to show those to whom theyre ultimately responsible what it is they have to offer the University. The position of chancellor is, by nature, public and thoroughly scrutinized. The committee should give the most promising candidates the opportunity to be open and forthcoming about their interest.

ment, discrimination and grievances have been made available and are easily accessible. Fostering the critical relationship between housekeeper and supervisor is of paramount importance. Mandatory supervisory development and training programs are routinely conducted to ensure supervisors have the essential knowledge, skills and the personal and professional attributes to be effective leaders. Facilities services is proud of our team members that keep this campus clean, healthy and safe. It is only right that they are given, in return, a work environment where they are treated with respect and dignity, and our good faith efforts to ensure this happens are ongoing.

give a listen to African music show on WNCU

TO THE EDITOR: Bouna Ndiaye is a native of Senegal, Africa. He hosts a local radio show in Durham that first aired approximately 17 years ago at WNCU (90.7FM) in North Carolina. It came about in 1996 when he discovered N.C. Central University, his alma mater, had a jazz station, yet African music was not programmed. He decided to volunteer to create the show, Bonjour Africa. He had no money, nor did he have any contacts for record labels. It was a challenge to find music to play on his show, but he managed to do so. His number one goal was to make sure his show was recognized locally as well as internationally and to ensure that it was well received. Three years after airing his first show, he became the go-to person whenever African music was desired. Bouna assisted in organizing one of the biggest tours in 1999, the African Fete. It toured 19 cities, including in Canada. Bouna was honored to present some musicians such as Baaba Maal from Senegal, Toumani Diabate, Tashma Hall and Oliver Mtukudzi from Zimbabwe. His main goal of national recognition was accomplished when he was invited to host KKUP, a radio station in San Jose, California. One year ago, he was selected to be in a national public radio satellite and is currently on 10 stations around the country including Puerto Rico and Alaska. His show airs on Sundays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on WNCU (90.7 FM) and you can find more information at this site http://www.wncu.org. Olivia Henderson 15 Political science

Housekeeping reform making good strides

TO THE EDITOR: While its always gratifying to see articles supportive of our housekeeping employees, the recent column Stand with campus workers failed to adequately address the many accomplishments recently taking place in housekeeping services. Its no secret that the department has had its share of problems and some serious issues, but facilities services and University administration have made a renewed commitment to correct past mistakes. Resources and initiatives have been put in place to eliminate obstacles that have traditionally plagued the department, such as language barriers and issues of trust between workers and management. An 11-member advisory committee elected by housekeeping staff meets regularly to provide input and make recommendations to management on matters of importance to employees. Problems are addressed as they occur and University leadership is listening. Significant improvements are being made under the progressive leadership of Darius Dixon. In partnership with the Office of Human Resources, translated policies including harass-

Food for thought

he Town of Chapel Hill should reduce fees and look to its neighbors in order to create a policy that encourages more food trucks in the area. Chapel Hill is notorious for its high food truck fees. Total fees in the town add up to $861 annually, much higher than those of neighboring cities Durham and Raleigh. For these businesses many of which are startups it is not worth the additional cost to operate in Chapel Hill. By looking to its neighbors, the town could figure out a way to make food trucks work. This includes looking at ways to deregulate parking restrictions. The Chapel Hill Town Council

EDiTOriAl

The town should ease restrictions on food trucks.

passed an ordinance in January to allow food trucks to park in private parking lots in downtown Chapel Hill. While this is a good first step, the town needs to continue to loosen restrictions in order to make food trucks welcome. Reducing fees would allow the town to encourage this innovative type of business. Food trucks are a great way to promote entrepreneurship, as well as give students a new and cheap late night option. While some might fear food trucks are unsanitary, county health officials inspect them twice yearly. However, the inspections differ from those of restaurants in the sense that the trucks are only given a passing or failing grade, not a letter grade. Giving food trucks

letter grades is fairer to everyone involved. It reinforces the notion that food trucks and restaurants should be treated similarly, and also holds the trucks to a higher standard. In addition, food trucks in Orange County are forced to have a permanent facility that they are required to return to at least once a day. The county should not require business owners to have these commissaries, as they add yet another cost. Cutting the high cost of permits, easing parking restrictions and standardizing the health code across restaurants and food trucks are good first steps to promoting food truck growth. The Town of Chapel Hill should also consult with Carrboro and Durham to find new ways to welcome food truck owners.
