SNOW POSTPONES GAME
Students outraged after long wait
DTH/MELISSA KEY
Students leave the Smith Center after learning that the Duke game would be postponed.
By Nicole Comparato
Editor-in-Chief
As soon as the PA system
clicked on around 5:40 p.m.,
booing echoed throughout
Koury Natatorium.
I knew it was over, said
junior Andrew Wood.
And so did more than 500
other students that had been
moved inside at 1 p.m. by the
Athletic Department after
snow made waiting in line
outside unbearable. The same
students who were reassured
multiple times throughout the
day even through an Alert
Carolina text message that
the Duke game was still on.
The announcer paused to
let the shouting subside.
He told Phase 1 ticket hold-
ers who had been waiting for
up to seven hours many of
them abandoning their cars
and walking miles to get to
the Smith Center that the
Duke basketball team would
not be making the 10-mile
trek to Chapel Hill due to
dangerous road conditions.
Everyone knew, said
Wood, who turned 21
Wednesday and hoped to
include the Duke game in
his birthday celebrations. It
could have been the best.
According to an Athletic
Department press release, the
9 p.m. game was postponed
due to inclement weather
and will be rescheduled for
Thursday, Feb. 20.

get to their campus to pick up

Juniors Avery Calhoun and Hannah
Davis left their Mill Creek apartment
Wednesday for a quick trip to Harris
Teeter for some groceries.
Little did they know, they would be
walking back.
We were driving back and everyone
was sliding around right in front of us, so
we just ended up pulling over and walked
all the way back since then, Calhoun said.
Davis said the storm started so sud-
denly, they werent prepared for the slip-
pery drive home.
We got to Harris Teeter, and it was
barely snowing at all and then 10
minutes later this, Davis said.
Classes will be canceled today until 8
a.m. Friday, according to a press release
from the Department of Public Safety on
Wednesday.
Anantha Aiyyer, an N.C. State
University professor who studies meteo-
rology, said he expects sleet to continue
on and off into today.
He said the region will likely get an
inch or two of sleet today and possibly
more snow.
This snow storm comes about
two weeks after Winter Storm Leon
slammed the South. Aiyyer said its hard
to predict, but theres a chance that the
region could get another winter storm
before spring, as it has been unusually
cold this year.
Brandon Thomas, spokesman for
Carolina Dining Services, said all cam-
pus dining services will be closed except
Rams Head and Lenoir Dining Halls. He
said employees were provided shelter at
local hotels and transportation.
Officials were also responding to
stranded residents across the county.
Wednesdays winter storms over-
loaded the Orange County Emergency
Services departments call center with
residents calls for help.
Chapel Hill police asked all residents
involved in minor accidents Wednesday
to exchange information with one anoth-
er and report it today.
Chapel Hill police spokesman Lt.
Josh Mecimore said police didnt have
information about the number of car
accidents Wednesday.
At one point, the Chapel Hill Police
Department tweeted that officers were
called to respond to nine crashes in a five-
minute span around 1 p.m. Wednesday.
The police department closed parts of
U.S. Highway 15-501 and Martin Luther
King Jr. Boulevard Wednesday after resi-
dents couldnt make it up steep parts of
the roads.
Gov. Pat McCrory declared a state of
emergency Tuesday. He urged people to
stay off the roads, even telling report-
ers that he wouldnt be able to make the
UNC-Duke game.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
Congress
repeals
bill for
research
funding
By Mia Madduri
Staff Writer
For Congressional members,
politics is their lifestyle but until
recently, many were in support of
limiting collegiate research of the
subject.
In January, the U.S. Congress
repealed past restrictions on National
Science Foundation funding for politi-
cal science research for the 2014 fiscal
year.
In 2013, Congress restricted
National Science Foundation
research funding to only projects
that promoted national security or
economic interests a contentious
restriction that compelled some rep-
resentatives from UNC to lobby in
Capitol Hill.
Political science professor Frank
Baumgartner said many politicians
are skeptical of their role as research
subjects.
A lot of politicians dont like to be a
part of studies. Theres a lot of hostil-
ity toward the economics and political
science, Baumgartner said.
Political leaders think that
political scientists have some kind of
angle.
He said some politicians dont see
the value of research that is more lib-
eral arts-based.
Baumgartner said its not uncom-
mon for Congress to be hostile to the
study of political science, and there is
more of a focus on scientific, techno-
logical, engineering and mathematical
research.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.,
proposed a bill four years ago try-
ing to eliminate political science
funding from the National Science
Foundation, which was $10 mil-
lion, and redistribute $7 million
to the National Cancer Institute,
Baumgartner said.
Congress did not pass this bill,
but accepted his modified version
of restricting funding to only politi-
cal science research that dealt with
national security or U.S. economic
interest.
It was ironic because Coburn
used some data in a previous report
political scientists had written,
Baumgartner said. He was using
political science research for his fiscal
conservatism.
Professor Jason Roberts said even
after the restriction was lifted, the
federal government might continue to
impinge upon the scope of social sci-
ence research.
I do think federal social science
research remains under scrutiny,
Roberts said. The discretionary part
of the federal budget has been cut sig-
nificantly and this increases the com-
petition for scarce dollars.
Roberts said some members of
Congress hold a limited view of politi-
cal science research and dont advocate
funding.
There are also some elected offi-
cials who do not think that social sci-
ence research should be funded by the
federal government.
Most political scientists are
relieved the bill was not signed, he
said.
I was pleased to see the restric-
tions on what NSF could fund or
review, and most of us in the profes-
sion believe that a rigorous peer review
process produces better research,
Roberts said.
The foundation will return to its
own criteria for political science pro-
posals.
In accordance with the provisions
of ... legislation, current proposals to
the political science program will be
evaluated in terms of NSFs two merit
review criteria, intellectual merit and
broader impacts, in the same man-
ner as all other proposals submitted
to NSF, said Debbie Wing, a spokes-
woman for the National Science
Foundation..
Even though the restrictions have
been repealed and the National
Science Foundation can continue
funding political science projects
based on their criteria, some political
scientists worry Congress will continue
to try to restrict funding.
In the years to come we can
expect more of this kind of thing,
Baumgartner said. America leads
the world in this type of research and
when Congress steps in its counter-
productive.
university@dailytarheel.com
There is a push to give
social sciences more
research funds.

Seniors Etiti Akhame-Ayeni, Wilma Mallya and Khadija Niang (left to right) cofounded Campus Africa Network, which aims to unite African groups at UNC.
Campus Africa Network connects organizations with Africa
By Mia Madduri
Staff Writer
Started last semester, Campus Africa
Network is a student-led initiative that hopes
to help UNC broaden its horizon.
Although Campus Africa Network isnt a
part of the Campus Y, the group received grant
money from the Campus Y to start a new ini-
tiative that will help bring the other groups
realted to Africa together.
We felt that there was disconnection
between student organizations that are
Africa related, said Etiti Ayeni, co-director
and outreach coordinator of Campus Africa
Network. A lot of these are smaller initia-
tives so they are much more isolated and
detached.
We felt we needed to address that issue to
try to bring them all together to talk about the
work that people do on the continent, current
affairs.
Ayeni noticed that events which hosted
speakers from Africa had high attendance from
graduate students and professors rather than
undergraduate students.
Wilma Mallya, co-director of the group,
said increasing awareness was one of her
goals.
We want to create something that can
inclusively come together, exchange ideas and
highlight work thats being done so people
can have a clear understanding of Africa, she
said.
Many of the members of Campus Africa
Network are also international students and
are making connections with people in Africa
for example, their co-founder is currently
interning in Senegal.
This truly is about making connections,
Ayeni said.
Not only will this initiative help the general
campus, it will also provide a support group for
international students.
It was hard for me to adjust during my
first year because I had to adjust to the rigor-
ous academic environment, the people and
the weather, said junior Moradesola Bola-
Oyeledun.
The key to adjusting is finding a great sup-
port system and a good solid group of friends,
especially international students you can relate
to, he said.
Bola-Oyeledun said this initiative will help
because there are not many African students
who are actually international students here.
The Campus Africa Network is planning
on hosting events this upcoming March and
April, as well as partner with groups such
as Project Heel, World Micro-Market and
GlobeMed.
The organizers of the group also plan to
bring a faculty member to talk about their
work in Africa and make it interactive for
students. Ayeni wants students to think criti-
cally about the work that is happening in
Afirca.
We teach people through educating, said
Ayeni. We want to make this a lasting pres-
ence on campus.

Alumna named ambassador
By Sharon Nunn
Staff Writer
UNC alumna Cassandra Butts is headed to
the Bahamas, but not for a vacation she was
nominated by President Barack Obama Friday
as the new U.S. ambassador to the nation.
In her new position, Butts will handle a
variety of diplomatic topics, including political,
economic, military and cultural issues. She cur-
rently serves as the president-appointed senior
adviser to the CEO of Millennium Challenge
Corporation, an independent U.S. foreign aid
agency that aims to end international poverty.
In 1987, Butts received a bachelors degree in
political science from UNC. She went on to get a
law degree from Harvard Law School.
She now serves as a member of the UNC
Board of Visitors, which is a group of alumni
who volunteer and assist the Board of Trustees
and the chancellor in areas like government
relations, funding and public relations.
Butts serves on the student recruitment
and state relations committee. Her term ends
in 2017, but she doesnt have to be present in
Chapel Hill to fulfill her duties.
If she shows the same commitment that
she shows in serving the
students, I couldnt see her
continuing to do anything
but excellent things in the
Bahamas, said Michael
Zollicoffer, Board of
Visitors chairman.
UNC junior Jordan
Archer, who grew up in the
Bahamas, said the politics
and economics of the coun-
try are similar to those in
the United States, though
the Caribbean island chain
is a prime location for
international drug traffick-
ing due to its close proxim-
ity to the U.S.
As far as issues went, drug smuggling is the
biggest issue. Because of its location in rela-
tion to Miami, it makes for a good harbor for
smuggling drugs from one country to the next,
Archer said.
Our American embassy is doing a great job
there, and I dont think there are any big issues
pressing them at this time.
Butts previously worked as the deputy White
House counsel to Obama and general counsel
to the Obama-Biden Transition Project. Prior
to that, she served as senior vice president for
domestic policy at the Center for American
Progress.
When Obama appointed Butts to her cur-
rent position at the Millennium Challenge
Corporation in 2009, he referred to her as a
dear friend and trusted colleague.
She goes above and beyond in what she does.
She has this desire to give back, and thats hard
to put a price on, Zollicoffer said. Its second
to none.
Zollicoffer said Butts hard work shows in
what she has accomplished, and Archer said he
knows she will do an excellent job for his country.
Were everywhere, Archer said. Its great to
know that a Tar Heel will be there.

Food trucks park on South Campus
By Aaron Cranford
Staff Writer
South Campus students now
have another late-night food option
on the weekends.
Food trucks are parked in
Bowles Drive Parking Lot every
Thursday through Saturday night.
Justin Maness, a Baguettaboutit
food truck employee, said their
truck goes to a lot of campuses, but
he said Chapel Hill is their first
late-night opportunity.
We are doing this on Dukes
campus and N.C. States cam-
pus and even at breweries like
Fullsteam and Double Barley we
are all over, he said.
Randy Young, spokesman for the
UNC Department of Public Safety,
said Carolina Dining Services
worked this out in order to serve
the students late night appetites.
They contacted us to identify an
area that had parking, a spot that
did not have enforced parking, one
that had a large population and
had good visibility.
Ryan Moore, food service direc-
tor for Carolina Dining Services,
said in an email if the food trucks
have more customers, students will
likely see more.
For now no more than three
food trucks are able to schedule
a particular night to start. This is
to mostly protect the trucks from
losing interest due to cold weather
and low turnout, he said.
Renard Edwards, a
Baguettaboutit employee, said they
did not leave on the first night until
about 1:30 a.m., but the foot traffic
could have been better.
For people to not know that
we were coming for us to just
show up the word got out pretty
decent, he said. It wasnt an over-
whelmingly great night, but it was
pretty decent night out here for
people to not know about it before.
Maness said the turnout was
underwhelming, but he said he
is expecting more people to come
when it is warmer.
People dont want to come out
here in this weather when it is this
cold, but I think once it starts to be
warm, around March or April time,
we will get a lot more people com-
ing out here, he said.
Giselle Montgomery and Devon
Williams, juniors at UNC, said
having the food trucks will be great
as long as they are cheap.
Cassandra Butts
was named U.S.
ambassador to
the Bahamas by
President Obama.
She graduated from
UNC in 1987.
DTH FILE/BRIAN FANNEY
Baguettaboutit will serve food from the Bowles Drive Parking Lot.
I think it is good because we
need as many food options as we
can support, Montgomery said.
Especially with lower cost,
Williams said. A lot of the options,
especially on Franklin Street, arent
as cost-effective.
The trucks will not be in the
Bowles lot during basketball games,
but Edwards said they will hopefully
be there for a few football games.
Maness said he expects more
people to come out when it warms
up and people spread the word
about the food trucks being there.
When word comes through and
people start spreading the word
that there are food trucks there
from (10 p.m.) to (2 a.m.), then
people will get stoked about it.

Those looking for something more transcendent
should check out Julianna Barwicks show at the
Carrack, sponsored by the Pinhook.
Barwick, a Brooklyn-based musician, uses lay-
ered loops of her own vocals to create expansive,
otherworldly landscapes. From time to time, she
pulls in some instrumentation, but non-vocal pres-
ence remains minimal.
By the end of any track, listeners have been
swept far away on her ethereal voice, unable to
remember how the song even began.
Bring a date if you like, but you ll become lost
in your own thoughts as soon as Barwick starts
her looping and envelops you in hers.

Who needs dinner at an expensive restau-
rant when you can take your sweetheart to see
two pop rock acts for way less than half the
price? Nothing says romance like guitar-heavy
Diarrhea Planet and fun-loving powerhouse,
Those Darlins.
Both bands have proven to be stellar performers
and will mend the hearts of even the most jaded
victims of the college dating scene. Fellas will love
Diarrhea Planets grungy garage band feel and
ladies will go crazy for Those Darlins girl power
dynamic.

Lost in the Trees
Past Life
Alt Rock
Ari Picker, leader of Lost
in the Trees, is a virtuoso at
beautifully weaving his sad
and tragic past into his bands
varying shades of majestic
music. On the bands third
LP, Past Life, Picker and crew
interject vulnerable sentiment
similar to previous albums,
but this time with a different,
progressive lens.
The bands previous record,
the enthralling A Church That
Fits Our Needs, served as a
bittersweet tribute to Pickers
deceased mother who took
who her own life shortly after
Pickers wedding years ago.
Past Life carries the same
weight, but instead of pure
and heartfelt reflection, the
classically trained Picker sub-
stitutes orchestra strings for
more upbeat drums and elec-
tric guitars to mold Pickers
transition of moving on with
the memory of the past still
vibrantly presence.
Lost in the Trees emotion
is still there with haunting
harmonies in Excos and
Rites, opening up a misty
transitional space for the
album to meditate on a previ-
ous life while contemplating
a potential afterlife. But the
bands mood is different this
time. While Pickers elegance
is always warming, Past Life
does not carry this warmth as
seamlessly as previous works.
Nevertheless, songs like
the title track, the lilting and
ambient Glass Harp, and
the optimistic Sun bring
a revered symmetry to the
albums journey.
Past Life is a step to the
side from Lost in the Trees
history rooted in grieving cel-
ebration. It welcomes all that
comes with such a sentimen-
tal background, but is willing
to explore new territory, and
new emotions.
Charlie Shelton
Xiu Xiu
Angel Guts: Red Classroom
Avant-garde
Its beginning to seem like
Xiu Xiu has a new piece of
music out every month, yet
somehow the group manages
to create fresh noise rock that
very few others can imitate.
The bands latest, the murky
Angel Guts: Red Classroom, is
more of the same, but some-
thing fans will immediately
enjoy.
The eerie, industrial open-
er Angel Guts: sets the tone
for the rest of the record. The
instrumental track begins
with a repetitive siren-like
noise before fading into static
and then nothing for the last
minute and a half. Its not
until Archies Fades, a bare
dance number that distorted
vocals and creepy lyrics come
into play.
New Life Immigration
is a standout, almost dead
center in the album. Taking
inspiration from contempo-
raries like Twin Shadow, the
song is more emotional and
heart-wrenching than any
others.
Some of the later tracks
blur together, becoming a
hazy, dark mass of distorted
vocals and strange beats.
Maybe if the album was
shorter than fourteen songs,
the effect would be less
noticeable, but as is, Angel
Guts begins to wear the lis-
tener down.
While not a good introduc-
tion for the average listener,
fans of Xiu Xiu will find a lot
to like.

DIVESTAFF
A House of Cards built
upon a captivating marriage
T
omorrow marks the
much-anticipated
return of the Netflix
original series House of
Cards. Save the saccharine
kisses in the rain or I got off
the planes such gestures
are tiresome compared to
what the characters of House
of Cards has to offer.
Without a doubt, the show
boasts the most compelling
partnership on air: Claire and
Frank Underwood.
Instances of infidelity and
manipulation bar them from
becoming the idyllic picture-
perfect couple, but thats
boring. You want to be Frank
and/or Claire as much as you
want to stay far, far out of
their way.
In their professional lives,
both Claire and Frank are
ruthless. Frank cuts and wea-
sels his way all the way to the
vice presidency in season one
of House of Cards, while
Claire runs her charity with
an iron grip.
Theyre sharp and calculat-
ing, but are often more tender
with each other in peculiar
ways like when Claire buys
a rowing machine for a petu-
lant Frank because shes wor-
ried about his heart.
When viewers see the pair,
there are few if any typical
affectionate exchanges. They
pause from her husband.
Netflix has stayed tight-
lipped about whats to come
in the new season. Two
trailers do little in the way
of offering any substantial
answers as to what this sea-
son will bring.
As Frank rises to power
(and presumably continues
his treacherous ways), Claire
will be right at his side doing
some climbing on her own.
Its a stretch to say that the
Underwoods relationship is
refreshing because it seems
realistic a relationship like
theirs in reality would more
likely be horrifying. It seems
almost as far-fetched as the
lovey-dovey trope, but is infi-
nitely more intoxicating.
As season one came to
a close, the couple faced a
myriad of issues that season
two needs to address.
Will children be in the
picture for the Underwoods?
How will Claire handle the
looming lawsuit from a for-
mer employee? Will Zoe try
to wreck the Underwoods
marriage? How will Frank
and Claire handle life in the
vice presidents seat?
Theres a lot on the line for
Claire and Frank as this next
season kicks off. Will their
relationship splinter under
the many levels of deception,
or will they find that they
need each other more than
either?
The House of Cards
writers will almost certainly
handle these situations with a
fantastic grace and deftness.
It ll be quite a ride to see if
the Underwoods come tum-
bling down.
diversions@dailytarheel.com
I dont know
whether to be
proud or terrified.
Frank Underwood,
on his wife Claire in the trailer for the
second season of House of Cards
interact much like business
partners, and yet theres a
consistent undercurrent of
intimacy.
Kevin Spaceys Frank
Underwood is as slick and
cold as an ice luge. He has an
affair with the young tena-
cious journalist Zoe Barnes
(Kate Mara), but its not a
secret. Claire knows whats
up, and isnt afraid to let Zoe
know whos boss.
One episode late in season
one also hinted that Frank
had a male lover in the past,
though its not clear where
or how Claire may come into
play there.
Though Spacey is the star
of the show, Robin Wright
as Claire steals the spotlight
whenever shes near it. Shes
not just your standard Strong
Woman type: shes indepen-
dent and interesting, but dif-
ficult. Shes not exactly a nice
person.
And yet, its difficult not to
feel bad for her as she tries to
hide her impending meno-

The Lego Movie
Everything is awesome!
From the plethora of beloved
characters to the long line of
jokes, The Lego Movie" sets
the bar high for animated
movies in 2014. The film is
cinematically dazzling with
stop-motion animation that
shows off several Lego worlds
and some impressive action
sequences.
The story begins with the
wizard Vitruvius (Morgan
Freeman) delivering a
prophecy that states the
Special will find the Piece
of Resistance and stop Lord
Business (Will Ferrell) from
destroying the world with
his evil weapon, the Kragle.
Some time later, an extremely
ordinary, non-special con-
struction worker named
Emmet (Chris Pratt) finds
the Piece of Resistance and is
deemed the Special.
Each character, from
Green Lantern to Batman
(Will Arnett) to Unikitty,
has its own special quirk.
These spark dozens of
funny moments, like Green
Lanterns fanboy obsession
with Superman and Batmans
need to be dark and brooding.
The level of comedic
writing is tremendous and
there is an endless supply
of great ideas woven bril-
liantly throughout the plot.
The movie makes no effort to
cover up Lego peoples limited
movement, often poking fun
at the lack of physical expres-
sion. The film lets it be and
it only makes it even more
comical.
The Lego Movie takes a
clear jab at conformity and
formulaic sitcoms. The writ-
ers deliver their message well
and thankfully only spend a
minute reconciling good (cre-
ativity) and evil (order) in a
few touching moments. Then
its right back to being funny.
The movie doubles perfect-
ly as a commercial to show
kids what kind of impressive
world they can create with
just some Legos and unsup-
pressed creativity, a message
both kids and adults can
understand and appreciate.
Amanda Hayes
The Monuments Men
Despite flaunting a stel-
lar cast and being based on
an inspiring true story, The
Monuments Men is a disap-
pointing, unsatisfying film
with a serious case of identity
crisis.
The movie follows an
unlikely World War II pla-
toon thats made up of artists
and scholars who are tasked
with going into Germany and
rescuing precious art stolen
by the Nazis . The message
of this movie is noble. Art is
important and sometimes, art
is worth dying for.
Despite having this fas-
cinating story to work with,
The Monuments Men
doesnt have much genuine
plot. As the men travel from
one location to another, the
film becomes expositional.
With George Clooney,
Matt Damon, Bill Murray,
John Goodman, Bob Balaban
and Cate Blanchett playing
major roles, theres clearly an
abundance of talent. But for
incomprehensible reasons,
most of that talent isnt used.
After the men set out on
the mission to retrieve the art,
they immediately split up and
travel to different locations.
These drastically different
subplots make the film feel
incredibly disjointed.
The Monuments Men
never decides what genre it
wants to be. Though everyone
involved seems to appreci-
ate what this film has to
say, they cant overcome the
issues. Clooney in particular,
who also directed the movie,
seems passionate about the
message.
Despite the films down-
falls, there are brief moments
of promise. Murray and
Balaban make a perfect pair
and stand out above other
characters. Murrays portrayal
of his character is comical
and light. Balabans is uptight
and stressed. They bicker
constantly, but they also go
to extra lengths to make each
other happy.
With a weaker cast, this
wouldnt have been nearly
as disappointing. But with
actors of this caliber, who
work so well together, The
Monuments Men is little
more than a whole lot of
wasted potential.

Daniel Bachman is a guitarist hailing from Virginia whose distinct
fingerpicking style blends the sounds of the old and the new.
Instrumentalist Daniel
Bachman went on his first
European tour in 2011.
Since then, hes been on the
road almost nonstop and
hes only 24. Originally from
Fredericksburg, Va., Bachman
moved to Chapel Hill recently
in hopes to eventually attend
UNC. He talked to staff writer
Kristina Kokkonos about his
plans for the future.
DIVERSIONS: Tell me a little
bit more about wanting to go
to UNC at this point.
DANIEL BACHMAN: Well I
dropped out of the program

Q&A with Daniel Bachman
I was in at the University of
Mary Washington for his-
toric preservation when I was
probably 20. I had always
wanted to go to UNC, but I
could never afford it. Now
that Im old enough to get
residency and (pay in-state
tuition,) Im planning on
trying to apply for fall 2015.
We ll see if they take me.
DIVE: So where does music
fit into that for you, as far as
your goals and ambitions?
DB: Theyre completely
separate. If I do the music
thing, its like full time. If I do
the school thing, its full time.
Thats what boiled down to
dropping out the first time.
Youre either on the computer
all day working on stuff or
youre on the road all the time.
Thats the only way it works
financially, too. Theyre two
completely separate worlds.
DIVE: I noticed that you
went on a summer 2013 U.K.
tour. Tell me a little bit about
that.
DB: That was, I think three
weeks. I did all around the
U.K. and Ireland, probably 16
or 17 shows, with a couple of
days off. It was nice. The U.K.
is more like touring the U.S.
than touring Europe, its like
a similar vibe.
DIVE: What have you done
so far this year?
DB: Just one tour in January.
Ive got one record coming out
in March thats like a reissue
record, and then Ive got anoth-
er full-length record thats
coming out in April through
this label out in Asheville. Then
the U.K. in March, U.S. in April
and nothing from there, which
is cool. Then in June, Im back
in Europe and the U.K. Then
I will be taking it easy for a
while. Ive been going and
going for about two and half
years now, pretty nonstop.
DIVE: Whats your biggest
goal with music?
DB: Forever, I always told
myself, Get two years of sup-
porting yourself off of music.
Which I kind of did. So now,
if everything just stopped,
Ive got gnarly stories and it
would be fine. But Im not
going to stop.
DIVE: Thats really cool, to
have accomplished that at
a young because not many
people can say that, but also
to feel fulfilled enough.
DB: Im definitely satis-
fied, yeah. Im happy with
everything.

For UNC students look-
ing to find love in a hopeless,
songless place this Valentines
Day, Brentton Harrison is
here to help.
The Marian Cheek Jackson
Center is hosting a Song-a-
Gram fundraiser this week. For
a donation of $25 for residents
in the Northside and Pine
Knolls neighborhoods and $45
for Chapel Hill and Durham
residents, the center will send
someone to sing a song to the
person of the donors choice.
That singing someone will
likely be Harrison, the centers
community action coordina-
tor, whose promotional video
on the organizations website
offers a taste of the voice
that could be ringing around
town today and Friday. Song
options include My Girl by
The Temptations and Lean
on Me by Bill Withers.
The Jackson Center is a
nonprofit working to preserve
the history of the historically
black, low income Northside
community of Chapel Hill.
Freshman Brooke Hess
said sheliked the idea.
I think its really corny and
kind of cliche and cute, she
said. If I were to get one, I
would want it to be The First
Day of My Life by Bright Eyes
because for me, that song is
really nostalgic and sweet and
that would show me they really
knew me and my music taste.
Harrison said the event is a
way to raise funds but also to
get out in the community.
I am just hoping it brings
a smile to their face and gives
them joy, he said.
Harrison is not a profes-
sional singer but said he
enjoys singing.
I sing at work all the time
while I am working, and my
coworkers said I sound pretty
good, he said.
Freshman Rachel Simpson
had another idea of how to
use the Song-a-Grams.
I would send Bye, Bye,
Bye by the Backstreet Boys as
a funny way to break up with
someone, she said.
Senior Jordan Paschal said
he was not a fan of the idea.
I would rather just give a
donation as opposed to doing
something like that, he said.
Freshman Madison
Kearneyliked the Song-a-
Gram event but saw room for
improvement.
I like the idea of it, but
I think if they did a larger
group of singers it would be
more interesting.
Those interested in send-
ing a Song-a-Gram can
contact the center or visit its
website to register.

Online MBA program experiences success
By Sarah Headley
Senior Writer
As she hopped in a cab
to go to a business dinner,
Meredith Culler made time
for a phone interview just
like she makes time to obtain
her masters degree.
Culler is enrolled in the
MBA@UNC program, an
online program offered by
Kenan-Flagler Business
School.
Out of the first two MBA@
UNC graduating classes, 71
percent of students received
a promotion or positive job
change. Culler, a current stu-
dent living in San Francisco,
was recently promoted to
Inventory Manager of Pottery
Barn.
Culler said she joined the
program because she wanted
to earn a valuable degree but
did not want to stop working.
I was doing my research
and knew that I liked my job,
and I wasnt willing to give
up my current career path,
she said.
I never would have been
able to be promoted and be
where I am now if I had taken
myself out of the workforce.
Since its creation two and
a half years ago, the program
has enrolled more than 600
students, many of whom are
working professionals like
Culler.
The executive director of
MBA@UNC, Susan Cates,
said the program takes in stu-
dents four times a year and
said UNC athletic director
Bubba Cunningham in a
statement.
The safety of the teams
and officials is the number
one priority and this was the
best decision to make at this
time.
Senior Chase Edwards
walked two miles from Chapel
Ridge apartments, spent
hours waiting, dished out $40
on paint and took about an
hour and a half to turn his
entire body blue for the game.
He said the change in plans
made him miserable.
You see a week in advance
its going to be snowy, its
going to be bad conditions,
why cant they come to the
Carolina Inn, sleep here?
Edwards said.
Why cant they get here
3 oclock or 2 oclock you
want to raise the question,
Did they want to play us
tonight with a Dean Dome
packed full of students?
Many season ticket holders
were unable to travel to the
game, and students would
have been able to fill the
empty seats in the lower level
of the Smith Center, prompt-
ing many who previously
planned to watch on TV to
rush out in the icy conditions
to make it to the stand-by
line.
Sophomore point guard
Marcus Paige, as well as some
of his teammates, tweeted
their thoughts about that
potential atmosphere.
Im just still thinking
about the whole lower half
being filled with students,
Paige tweeted Wednesday
night.
Woulda been the coolest
thing ever.
One person who was
particularly invested in
attendees efforts was coach
Roy Williams, who visited
the Smith Center line in his
Carolina blue basketball
shorts to thank the students
braving the conditions.
Hours after that and just
a few minutes after post-
ponement was announced,
Williams once again came to
thank them and apologize for
the cancellation.
We will play Duke in the
Smith Center before this
season is over, Williams told
students. But it wont be
tonight and it wont be tomor-
row night.
The Athletic Department
collected tickets and wrist-
bands so that the line would
be in the same order Feb. 20
that it was Wednesday.
I am glad they are hon-
oring what students did,
said senior Jamal Benjamin.

appearance helped calm
down many of those vocaliz-

Just 20 minutes after

Roy Williams,
UNC mens basketball coach
responded to 1,360 service calls
across the state the average
number of service calls a day
is 800 .
Thousands of power out-
ages were reported across

SNOW

DTH/CHRIS CONWAY
Pedestrians walk down North Columbia Street in front of Ackland
Art Museum as snow begins to fall Wednesday afternoon.
If I was going to put in the time I needed
to go to a school I was proud of.
Meredith Culler,
a student in UNCs MBA@UNC program
has more than a 98 percent
retention rate.
Students are able to inter-
act with one another and
their professors as they would
through other social media
sites. Cates said the site has
a social media backbone
that resembles LinkedIn and
Facebook.
Im a grad of our full-time
program, and Im very proud
of the education experience
that I received through that
program Im equally as
proud of the educational
experience the MBA@UNC
students are receiving, she
said.
Culler said MBA@UNC
offers her the quality she
would expect from a full-time
program.
I felt that if I was going to
put in the time, the effort, the
money and all those things, I
needed to go to a school I was
proud of, she said.
Culler said she was proud
to be enrolled in a program
at one of the top business
schools in the nation.
The professors that make
Carolina so amazing we
have the same experience,
Culler said.
Larry Chavis, a professor
of strategy and entrepreneur-
ship , said the online program
offers an interactive experi-
ence.
I do a lot more on focus-
ing on specific students than
when I have 60, he said.
Classes do not exceed 15
students and classes are held
via webcam, which Cates said
holds students to a higher
degree of accountability.
You cant hide, she said.
You cant slip in on the back
row and hope you dont get
called on.
Students review mate-
rial online before each class,
which is available at all times
so that they can fit it in to
their schedule. They can also
comment on any questions
they might have for the pro-
fessor to address during the
next class.
Students are required to
attend at least two immer-
sions that occur over a three-
day period in cities across the
globe. MBA@UNC tries to
decorate the locations in as
much Carolina blue as pos-
sible, so that when students
meet face-to-face they feel
closer to their classmates.
Youre a Tar Heel for the
rest of your life, Chavis said
to his class in the orientation
video.

MFA students showcase
art in exhibition series
DTH/KATIE WILLIAMS
Lile Stephens MFA thesis exhibition Operating Systemsis on display in Hanes Art Center until Friday.
By Rupali Srivastava
Staff Writer
The Master of Fine Arts
program at UNC has attract-
ed artists from all around the
world, ranging from South
Korea to Arkansas to New
York City.
Now, in preparation for
graduation in May, nine of
these second-year student
artists will showcase their
work in their own weeklong
exhibit in the John and June
Allcott Gallery in Hanes Art
Center. The series of nine
exhibits, titled Aesthetic
Conditions, began Monday
and will end in mid-April.
Second-year MFA student
Minjin Kang, who special-
izes in photography, said she
was looking forward to the
opportunity to exhibit her art,
which shes spent more than a
year creating.
Ive traveled to probably
at least 20 places in Chapel
Hill and all over the state to
take these pictures, the South
Korea native said. So Im
excited for people to see them
in the gallery.
Kang said that while pre-
paring her work and creating
art at UNC, she has received
a lot of helpful support from
faculty.
What she likes most about
the program here, she said, is
her relationship with faculty
and how encouraging and
supportive they have been of
her work.
Fellow MFA student and
professional artist Michael
Bramwell also said he found
the faculty very helpful.
Many of them have galler-
ies, and many of them show
in the art world, so when
they teach, theyre not just
teaching from a theoretical
perspective, the New York
native said. They have prac-
tical experience that I can
relate to, and thats been very
helpful.
For some students, success
in the program depends most
upon self-discipline.
MFA student Lile Stephens
of Arkansas said he appreci-
ated how far faculty go to
communicate with students.
All of our faculty are very
accessible, and a lot of the
really good feedback comes
from one-on-one interactions
with them, he said.
But its really centered
around being a self-disci-
plined artist.
Stephenss exhibit is the
first of the series to be on
display at the Allcott Gallery,
and will remain there until
Friday.
Stephenss work utilizes
older pieces of technology
which he said many call
obsolete and finds alter-
nate functions that will allow
people to see them in new
ways.
He creates art installations
involving video and outdated
electronics, and uses many
resources provided by the
University, such as studios,
digital cameras, audio equip-
ment and even a new laser
cutter.
Bramwell, who teaches an
art course at the undergrad-
uate level like other second-
year MFA students, said
the Universitys resources
helped him to create work
as well.
I take full advantage of
the design lab, the media
resource center, things like
that, to produce videos and
photographs and all of other
stuff I do, he said.
His exhibit will emphasize
the importance of language
through visual art. Even after
practicing as a professional
artist for 21 years, Bramwell
said he thought he might have
more to formally learn about
art and its history, which is
why he returned to school to
complete his MFA.
Tennessee
aims to offer
community
college for free
By Lindsey Brunson
Staff Writer
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam
unveiled a plan to offer high
school graduates two years
of free community college
education in his State of the
State address last week but
higher education analysts are
skeptical that a similar pro-
gram would work in North
Carolina.
Haslam, a Republican,
dubbed the initiative the
Tennessee Promise, which
he said could be paid for via
state lottery money.
We are fighting the rising
cost of higher education, and
we are raising our expecta-
tions as a state, Haslam said.
We are committed to making
a clear statement to families
that education beyond high
school is a priority in the state
of Tennessee.
But N.C. education ana-
lysts said the promise might
not be all that it seems.
George Leef, the direc-
tor of research for the John
William Pope Center for
Higher Education Policy, a
right-leaning nonprofit in
Raleigh, said a plan for free
community college would
not be a good idea in North
Carolina, Tennessee or any-
where else.
The problem with making
education free is that people
are apt to value it less, take
it less seriously, if they dont
have something of their own
at stake in it, Leef said. We
shouldnt artificially encour-
age people.
Warren Nichols, the vice
chancellor of community
colleges for the Tennessee
Board of Regents, said he was
excited about the governors
proposal. He said the plan is
an opportunity for more stu-
dents to attend community or
technical colleges, which he
said most high schoolers in
the state deem unaffordable
at $4,000 a year.
They just dont have that
kind of resources or money,
he said.
Still, Nichols said the plan
is not just free money. While
any graduating high school
senior can apply for the pro-
gram, he said each student
must work with a mentor to
maintain successful academic
standing in community col-
leges and complete a mini-
mum of eight community
service hours each semester.
Terry Stoops, direc-
tor of education studies
at the right-leaning John
Locke Foundation in North
Carolina, said while he
thinks Haslam had correctly
identified the problem, his
Tennessee Promise is not
necessarily the best solution.
He said it is unlikely that any
similar policies will be pro-
posed in North Carolina.
I think the idea of utiliz-
ing community college to
enhance the skills and knowl-
edge of the workforce is a
good plan, and I think North
Carolina should think along
those lines, Stoops said. But
this specific plan is not for
North Carolina.
Stoops said even if North
Carolina implemented a
similar program, the state
would not currently be able
to fund it because of the ris-
ing cost of Medicaid and Gov.
Pat McCrorys plan to raise
teacher salaries.
While Haslam proposed
that the states lottery reserve
fund pay for the Tennessee
Promise through an endow-
ment, Stoops expressed con-
cern at the sustainability of
this funding.
The problem with lottery
revenue is that it fluctuates so
much, Stoops said. Because
its such an unstable revenue
source, it really isnt a very
good one to rely upon for a
program, especially one that
requires multiple years of
implementation.
state@dailytarheel.com
Some experts doubt
such a plan would be
feasible in N.C.
Stephens said he wants
to be an art educator after
graduating, and agreed that
the program has allowed him
to learn beyond just artistic
skill.
I think the combination
of having artistic ability and
having learned and practiced
a direct conceptual approach
to teaching will really prepare
me for a competitive job mar-
ket, he said.
For now, however,
Stephens said he was excited
about the exhibit, and hoped
people would be interested in
seeing old technology work in
unique ways.
Hopefully, people will be
interested and come out, he
said. Its a weird, crazy, tech-
no universe in that space.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT
Class cancellation
was poorly handled
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing to voice
my displeasure about the
nature of the Alert Carolina
message sent Wednesday
morning.
Firstly, the original mes-
sage on http://unc.edu was
unclear, leaving many stu-
dents unsure as to whether
Thursday classes were can-
celled all day or only until
11 a.m.
When Alert Carolina
sent out the email clarify-
ing that Thursday classes
had cancelled until 11 a.m.
unless stated otherwise, I
wasnt alone in my bewil-
derment.
Students all over cam-
pus were left wondering
why a forecast of 3-5
inches of snow and almost
an inch of ice throughout
the area that was sup-
posed to continue falling
through Thursday wasnt
enough to cancel classes
for the day.
It is very clear that the
town of Chapel Hill is
inadequately equipped to
handle such a snowstorm,
particularly in time for
classes past 11 a.m. on
Thursday.
We dont live in New
York City, where a fleet of
countless snowplows is
ready at any moment to
deal with a winter storm.
This is sunny Chapel
Hill.
Lets be realistic here.
Cars are littered all over
the roads here, with many
of them being abandoned.
This isnt just a classic
case of a student calling
for classes to be cancelled
at the first sight of a snow-
flake this is a serious
snowstorm, at least for
Chapel Hill, and appropri-
ate measures need to be
taken.
Leaving the status of
class in limbo until offi-
cials have time to get a
better feel for the condi-
tions of the road is unnec-
essary.
Spoiler alert the
roads are still going to be
in bad, if not undrivable,
shape.
Failing to cancel all
Thursday classes imme-
diately was a shortsighted
move that just serves to
inconvenience students and
faculty who are stuck at
home on Wednesday won-
dering whether they have
to complete their work for
Thursday.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Mark Viser, mviser@email.unc.edu
Love is
like the
stock
market
L
ove is like the stock
market: fickle in the
short term and gainful
in the long term.
If love really is like the
stock market, who better to
ask about success in love than
somebody whos succeeded in
the stock market? Enter David
Gardner, a 1988 Morehead-
Cain UNC alumnus and co-
founder of The Motley Fool, an
investment advisory company.
David, who spoke to a
packed lecture hall at UNC
last March, knows a thing or
two about winning in the stock
market: Since 2002, he has
achieved an unbelievable 233
percent return on his stock
investments (as compared with
the markets average return of
47.1 percent).
Imagine if you found a
partner whom you loved 233
percent more today than 12
years ago?
If we apply Gardners wis-
dom on stock investing to love,
you could find such a partner.
I interviewed Gardner on how
to succeed in love by applying
proven stock investment tactics.
First off, heres how Gardner
feels that love is like the stock
market: Once youve bought in,
its all about holding from there.
People who sell (love) a lot wont
get much satisfaction.
Just like stocks dont make
us money after days, but rather
after years, love does not form
overnight. Day traders who
buy and sell stocks willy-nilly
are sure to lose their socks,
while patient investors like
Gardner trust each stocks
ability to generate long-term
wealth. If you want a love part-
ner, dont keep trading around:
Pick somebody and get to
know him or her.
I asked Gardner why he
decided to marry early out of
college and how he spotted
winning stocks like Netflix and
Amazon in their early days
how do you find love so early?
Usually, among the first-
movers you find some big-time
winners. Members of the oppo-
site sex prized as potentially
very valuable lifetime mates
will be in high demand early on
and like any kind of draft, will
often be early picks. Similarly, in
business, the first-movers the
companies that get going fast
and strong early often wind
up the long-term winners.
According to Gardner, it
sounds like Beyonce was right
after all: If you liked him then
you shouldve put a ring on
it. Dont wait too long, or Mr.
Right will be Mr. Taken!
Despite all this, love is not
exactly like the stock market:
An important part of stock
investment is diversification,
aka buying stocks from several
companies to minimize risk.
The marriage market, au con-
traire, hinges on non-diverse
monogamy (hence the divorces).
Gardners take: The better
you truly know your stock or
potential spouse the more
likely youve got a winning
long-term investment, the less
likely youre going to be sur-
prised by bad news. Gardner
also said in stocks youre
buying the people who run
the business. The corollary in
romance is that youre not just
marrying your spouse-to-be
youre marrying his/her family.
They count; it all counts. Time
to meet the parents, yall.
Whether youre smitten on
Feb. 14 or Sept. 21, invest in
long-term love.

product of a penal colony
under British rule, we have
learned to channel that
loathing of England into
our intensely contested
sporting encounters with
them.
However, as a young
UNC student coming all
the way from the landdown
under, no hype video, Dick
Vitale Game Day mono-
logue or ESPN special
could detail what I walked
into when arriving in Gods
country, otherwise known
as Chapel Hill.
The hatred, loathing
and disdain for that school
up the road from us can
only be experienced in
last second heartbreaks,
full game blow-out wins,
National Championship
victories and rushes of
Franklin Street.
The collective passion
of alumni, boosters, cur-
rent students and faculty
culminates in a 40 minute
game just twice a year
sometimes more if we are
lucky two 20 minute
halves, 12 men rotations,
five timeouts and two
coaches that boils down to
the greatest rivalry in all
of college sports.
Coming to school in
Chapel Hill was the great-
est decision of my life, and
whenever I return home to
this small slice of paradise
below the Mason-Dixon
Line, I thank the Lord that
I chose the greatest shade
of blue that ever existed!
Its forever a great day
to be a Tar Heel and, as
always, GO TO HELL
DOOK!

A look back at fresh-
man housing
TO THE EDITOR:
A recent article entitled
South Campus Dorms lim-
ited to Freshmen brought
me back to my time in
Chapel Hill.
As I remember, back in
the bronze age when Craige
and Ehringhaus Residence
Halls opened in the early
1960s, they were exclu-
sively for freshmen.
They were reserved for
freshmen because, at the
time, these dormitories
were the farthest from
campus, out in the boonies
all by themselves the
woods.
In addition, Ehringhaus
had a cafeteria, and was a
primary location for ath-
lete housing.
Craige and Ehringhaus
quickly developed a reputa-
tion as the most hell-raising
dorms on campus and
maybe even the entire
southeast.
The damage was amaz-
ing.
As a result, both dorms
were opened to upper-
classmen the next year
as the Department of
Housing and Residential
Education admitted a
huge mistake.
Maybe this time the
presence of women may
alter things. that should be
interesting or not.

VIEWPOINTS
I
t doesnt make sense to invest money in
passenger trains beyond basic renova-
tions. As the NCDOT looks to cut costs,
it should do its best to remove funds from
the seldom used passenger trains so that they
may be used for more practical freight trains.
Many people are unaware that the state is
home to two passenger trains because very
few people use the railways as their principal
means of travel. Putting money into market-
ing strategies and new features to increase
ridership is wasting the states delicate
resources that could easily be used in much
more effective ways.
Id love to see North
Carolina have an expan-
sive high-speed rail sys-
tem. The environmental
benefits would be tre-
mendous, not to mention
the significant abatement
in highway traffic. But
our country is simply not
suited for this model of
travel that works so well
in Europe.
Many people will always prefer to drive,
despite the cost. Those that dont have access
to a car will continue to use other forms of
public transportation, even for long dis-
tances. People often consider taking a bus to
New York rather than paying for a flight, but
when was the last time you heard of someone
taking the train? Despite that, the Carolinian
train makes that long trip every single day.
And investing more in passenger trains
may be detrimental to the enormously suc-
cessful freight train industry in America,
which removes the need for hundreds of
cargo trucks on the highways. Congestion on
train tracks would result in slower and fewer
freight trains. Its essentially creating a new
service and expecting demand to appear,
while taking away a service that has seen suc-
cess for decades.
If anyone insists on traveling by rail,
theyre always welcome to hop a freight train.
A
s NCDOT begins a study on alter-
natives to reduce costs in rail oper-
ations, officials should also con-
sider methods to improve revenue through
increased ridership. A well supported and
widely used railway system has environ-
mental and safety benefits that should not
be denied to North Carolina.
The traffic on our roads is increasing
every day this is a growing hassle, a grow-
ing danger and a growing detriment to both
our health and the environment. While
there is no denying that the railway system
has an environmental
impact, its impact is
substantially less than
the alternatives of road
and air travel. Trains pol-
lute up to 85 percent less
than aircrafts.
The construction of
parallel tracking will
allow freight and pas-
senger trains to run on
separate tracks and thus
substantially lessen the
delays that are at times a burden to riders.
While this is a step in the right direction,
the NCDOT rail division will have to further
improve the riding experiencing if it expects
to attract customers away from their cars.
Adding Wi-Fi services to trains has been
suggested and should be implemented, but
NCDOT should not stop there.
Merely increasing resources in terms of
the marketing of trains could be an invest-
ment thats benefits far outweigh the costs
in the long run. The correlation between
effective marketing strategies and increased
ridership is legitimate and its time that
North Carolina takes notice in order to tap
into this greatly underutilized resource.
These improvements could cause ticket
prices to increase, but if the product is worth
the cost, customers will always be there and
increase ridership on trains, is nothing but
good for the state.
THE ISSUE: The North Carolina Department of Transportation has recently
received funding to improve the safety of the states railways. It will also begin
a study to look for alternative way to cut costs across all of its railway opera-
tions while also maintaining ridership.
Dont support a
system that can
not succeed.
Dont pass on
passenger
trains.
