MENS BASKETBALL: VIRGINIA 75, NORTH CAROLINA 64

You guys gotta look

yourselves in the mirror

Young Dems
offer no SBP
endorsement
The Young Democrats held a student
body president debate Monday.
By Katie Reeder
Staff Writer

The Young Democrats voted not to endorse

a candidate after the group held a student body
president debate Monday night.
We think its important that if we dont believe
a candidate should receive our endorsement, then
they dont receive our endorsement, said Tony
Liu, president of the Young Democrats.
All four candidates emphasized the need to promote unity in the student body.
During the debate, Houston Summers noted his
involvement with the StudentAthlete Advisory Council.
I used this opportunity to really, I guess, cut off
issues that were festering at
Carolina, he said. A lot of
siloing, a lot of miscommunication, a lack of communication.
David Marsh discussed making UNC safer and
more inclusive by strengthening the sexual assault
policy and raising mental health awareness.
My goal is to make Carolina a place where
everyone has an equal educational opportunity,
whether that be no matter what background youre
from or what walk of life you come from, he said.
Tyler Jacon, another candidate, acknowledged
the different values of student organizations on
campus. While he praised this diversity, he said
his platform is about middle-of-the-road solutions that will bring the student body together.
Its the peoples college, and affordability,
accessibility and diversity are still valued, he said.
I see that were divided more so than ever.
Kathryn Walker said some of the biggest issues
on campus are race relations and sexual assault.
Its time to have a leader who represents a different voice ... and make sure there are no voices
slipping through the cracks, she said.
Despite the groups decision not to endorse
anyone, Liu said it wanted students to take an
active role in deciding who would represent them.
Sophomore Cole Simons, a self-described
conservative who attended the debate, said the
lack of endorsement was not the sign of strength
students needed.
They serve to further subvert our already precarious situation with the University, Board of
Trustees and Board of Governors by not exhibiting
confidence in our ability to choose a leader who
can be an advocate for the student voice, he said.
Still, some students in the audience remained
unsure of what the candidates had to offer.
After hearing that, Im not really convinced
of any one candidates ability to affect change on
campus, said freshman Philip Howard.

Two straight losses leave UNC searching for answers

Senior Writer

The bells had gone off in Marcus Paiges

head. He couldnt wish them away, thwack
them with a rationalizing thought or two.
He had to alert his North Carolina mens
basketball teammates.
It was too late to undo all that had just
undone them, a dispiriting 75-64 loss Monday
to No. 3 Virginia at the Smith Center. Too
late to grab another rebound, or fling away
the defensive vice-grip UVa. (20-1, 8-1 ACC)
placed on the Tar Heels strained necks.
But not too late to face his teammates and
say what must be said: that this, No. 12 UNCs
(17-6, 7-3 ACC) second defeat to an ACC powerhouse in 53 hours, was reason for alarm.
You guys gotta look yourselves in the mirror and see whether youre actually doing
everything you can, Paige told a subdued

locker room. If you sit there and say you

are, then youre lying to yourself because its
proven out there on the court that none of us
are really doing that.
The ecstasy of UNCs 11 wins in 12 games
before Saturdays rematch against Louisville
was gone, replaced with an imploded 18-point
lead and a home-court drubbing to the countrys best defensive team. All that was left
now for the Tar Heels, in this moment after
another troubling night on the hardwood, was
to find what theyre still looking for.
Because we are a great team, said junior
forward Brice Johnson. Virginia is not that
much of a better team than us. We just have
to go out there and prove it, instead of them
going out there beating us like they did.
What had to change?
Everything, said Johnson, held to 14
points by a slew of punishing double teams.

Faculty discuss response to Ross ouster

The panelists identified
qualities theyd like to see
in a new president.
By Sarah Brown
State & National Editor

The forced resignation of UNCsystem President Tom Ross in

January embodied what many university faculty members across the
state perceive as a political attack on
public higher education.
On Monday, a passionate contingent of UNC faculty discussed how
they should respond.
The event, which featured four professors as panelists, was hosted by the
Institute for the Arts and Humanities.
The panelists began by outlining
characteristics theyd like to see in
their ideal UNC-system president a
passion to defend the 17-campus system and its diversity; a commitment
to the research, teaching and service
of universities; an ambition to secure
long-term investment in the system.
The search for Ross replacement

is expected to begin this spring, and

faculty members have traditionally
been part of the process through the
leadership statement development
committee. Ross will remain in the
role until at least Jan. 3, 2016.
A president should be persuasive in promoting the value of the
humanities and social sciences in a
broad UNC-system education, particularly in light of politicians recent
emphasis on vocational studies, said
history professor Lloyd Kramer.
The president shouldnt be embarrassed to make that case, he said.
Education professor Suzanne
Gulledge cited former University of
Indiana president Herman Wells, who
once said that an ideal university president would combine the physical
charm of a Greek athlete ... the skin of
a rhino and the stomach of a goat.
Panel moderator Kim StromGottfried then opened up discussion
to the audience, which elicited spirited responses from faculty on how
they should defend the UNC system
and simultaneously address differences of opinion with the Board of
Governors and the legislature.

Several audience members

implored the faculty to actively spread
a message of concern about the direction of higher education.
This is a time to get outside the
safety zone, said Asian studies professor Mark Driscoll.
Kramer said he thinks some faculty are worried that speaking out
will worsen the situation.
Thats a very dangerous situation to be in, he said. Fear is not a
way forward.
Public policy professor Pete
Andrews suggested that faculty might
improve communication with board
members and lawmakers by listening
to the other side more often such as
reading reports from the right-leaning
John William Pope Center for Higher
Education Policy and Civitas Institute.
Mark Katz, a music professor and
director of the institute, said that Pope
Center representatives will visit UNCs
campus in April and debate alongside
a panel of faculty and students.
Philosophy professor Ruel Tyson
said he thinks faculty should engage
directly with decision-makers by leaving UNCs campus, visiting politicians

and board members and learning

about them in their daily work.
Weve got to learn how to talk
another language than the one we
use here in Chapel Hill, he said.
This dialogue and willingness to
change is important, Kramer said

but he added that faculty members

shouldnt shy away from the fundamental principles of the UNC system.
You dont want to ever deny who
you are, he said.

new rules
frustrate
activists

RENAMING THE NORM

The rules restrict where

protestors are able to stand
in the legislative building.
By Michael Liguori
Staff Writer

Taylor Bates, a
sophomore from
Nashville, Tenn., is
hoping to be reelected as president of
the Residence Hall
Association in the
Feb. 10 election.

Grayson Berger,
a sophomore from
Atlanta, Ga., is the
current vice president
of the Residence
Hall Association. His
priority is improving
laundry facilities.

Matt Renn, a junior

from Henderson,
has been a resident
adviser and Connor
Community governor. He aims to focus
on improving safety
on campus.

campus life, he said.

Bates said if he is re-elected, he
would change residence halls ice
machines to ice dispensers. He said
the current machines are unsanitary.
He also intends to continue events
like the silent disco in Fetzer gym.
The RHA president receives a
$1,400 stipend and priority housing preference, both of which Bates
declined. He said he returned the
money to RHA to put toward events.
Grayson Berger, a sophomore from
Atlanta, is the RHA vice president.
Its allowed me to see not only
the successes, but also ways we can

improve in the future, he said.

Berger said his priority is improving laundry facilities on campus. He
wants to create a live enhancement
system where residents can go online
to see what items are available to rent.
Berger said he would accept the
$1,400 stipend because it was put
in place to allow the president to
devote more time to the RHA.
A junior from Henderson, Matt
Renn was a resident adviser as a sophomore and is the Connor Community
governor. He has worked at The Daily
Tar Heel as a staff photographer.

Because resident advisers have

so much work, Renn said residents
need a supplemental group to give
them things they need.
I want there to be something to
provide residents a way to feel at
home, he said.
Renn said he would focus on safety
installing improved lighting and
blue call boxes outside of resident
halls. He said he would accept the
stipend because it is compensation for
office hours and because other executive members receive stipends.

The state chapter of the NAACP is

considering taking legal action against
new rules that limit where protestors
can gather within the capitol.
The new rules went into effect on
Jan. 13 and allow police to designate
where protestors can stand in the rotunda of the legislative building.
Kory Goldsmith, interim legislative
services officer for the N.C. General
Assembly, signed the rules into effect.
They had an immediate impact on the
NAACPs Ecumenical Clergy Preach-In
and Pray-In demonstration Jan. 28.
Rev. William Barber II, president of
the N.C. NAACP, and a group of religious leaders were stopped from entering the legislative chambers by police
acting under the new guidelines.
After being blocked from the chambers, protesters tried to deliver letters to
legislators in order to share their goals
for the 2015 legislative session. A receptionist and an aide told the protestors
they were not allowed to see legislators
without invitations.
Irving Joyner, legal counsel for the
N.C. NAACP said he objects to the
rules, specifically those that designate
where people are allowed to protest.
Theyre arbitrarily drawn, Joyner
said. The chief of police has been
given authority, based on whatever
criteria he wants and whenever he
wants to use it, to draw no-protest
zones within the legislative body.
The rules require protest areas to be
clearly marked and to allow unobstructed entry to the chambers, chapel and
legislative services office. Protestors are
also prohibited from obstructing elevators or the photocopy machine.
Joyner said the rules allow protesting
space to be determined on a day-by-day
basis. He worries they are being used
against specific groups of protestors.
As written, the rules forbid that.
Nothing in these restrictions may
be used to deny the use of the 2nd
Floor Rotunda based on the content of
the speech that is or may be expressed
in that area, the document states.
Goldsmith said the rules are not
targeting protestors specifically and
are intended to allow everyone using
the rotunda to go about their business.
The Moral Monday demonstrations,
started by Barber in 2013 to protest the
legislatures conservative agenda, were
among the most high-profile events to
take place in the rotunda.
Nearly 1,000 protesters were
arrested at Moral Monday events during summer 2013. Among them was
UNC student Kaori Sueyoshi, who
protested recent laws on voting and
abortion restrictions.
The whole slew of legislation being
passed was largely against my principles, so in that light, I decided to do
what I can, she said.
She said she thinks the more restrictive protest rules were politically
driven, but she said they would not
dissuade protestors like herself.
This isnt the first and it certainly
isnt the last obstacle that people have
faced in organizing against a particularly restrictive legislative body, she said.

Students of color stood on the steps of

necks from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to demand the
renaming of Saunders Hall, which is named
after a former trustee and Ku Klux Klan leader.
Activists with the Real Silent Sam Coalition
discovered documents in Wilson Librarys university archives that list head of the Ku Klux
Klan in North Carolina as a qualification for
having a building named in his honor.
There is no accusation, there is no claim,
Lackey said. That is his legacy that the
University recognized, those are his credentials
for having this building named after him.
Mondays demonstration echoed symbolism
used in the 1999 demonstration, where protestors hung nooses around Saunders Hall. At its
peak, more than 15 students participated in the
performance.
Demonstrators spoke of the hostile environment on campus created by racist comments
on Yik Yak and other social media platforms,

and how the name of Saunders Hall facilitates

this aggression.
As long as these buildings, as long as this
history is conceptualized and perpetuated in our
own system, we still have nooses, said Jordan
Peterkin, a demonstrator and UNC student.
Benjamin Rubin, a geography graduate student, said renaming Saunders would represent
a move forward in the buildings history.
When people say, Oh, it was normal to be
in the KKK at the time, yeah, it was normal
at the time, and thats the point, Rubin said.
We are trying to say that we reject a dominant
culture of hatred and violence toward black
bodies.
Demonstrators also expressed frustration
with UNCs treatment of minority students.
Lackey said people have told her if the
Universitys climate and landmarks offend her,
she should leave campus.
When people say I should leave if Im
offended, that means if a KKK member offends
you so all people of color you should just
leave this campus, Lackey said.
Geography graduate student Pavithra
Vasudevan said it is important for students to
understand the history of their University.
The 1920s was a time when a lot of memorials were placed that were explicitly about

white supremacy, Vasudevan said. It was a

very active effort in our past to honor white
supremacy, and this is an active effort to correct
that. Thats an important distinction because I
think people want to make it a neutral history,
but theres nothing neutral about it.
The geography and religious studies departments, which have offices in Saunders Hall,
wrote a statement in support of renaming the
building. It was signed by 83 faculty members
and graduate students.
The departments also advocate for the
creation of a first-year program that teaches
UNCs racial history, similar to the Black and
Blue tour.
A common criticism of the campaign is that
many buildings and monuments around campus are named after people affiliated with the
KKK, and that renaming Saunders Hall could
spark name changes across campus.
If this name is changed itll be the result of
so much struggle, Rubin said. The idea that
changing this name after decades of activism
will immediately lead to a flood of all the other
changes is ridiculous.
The slippery slope argument doesnt work
until youre on a slope.

The Daily Tar Heel

UVa. defense had UNC seeing double

By Aaron Dodson
Senior Writer

Two consecutive plays. Two consecutive miscues. All the skillful work of two
post defenders.
These two plays from midway through
the second half of the No. 12 North
Carolina mens basketball teams 75-64
loss to No. 3 Virginia on Monday sum up
the frustration caused by the Cavaliers
unique approach to a simple concept of
defending: double-teaming.
Typically, teams bring a guard down
low to provide extra pressure to an opposing big man. This leaves an open man on
the perimeter and a presumably smaller
defender for the post player to pass over.
Dont expect to see this method from
UVa. The Cavaliers instead double-team
in the painted area with two post players.
Its peculiar, frustrating at times even.
Our way, its a blue-collar way, said
Virginia coach Tony Bennett.
Kennedy Meeks body language on

back-to-back possessions with about 10

minutes left in Mondays game illustrated the double-team irritation.
The sophomore forward caught the ball
on the left block. Before he could make a
move, two defenders towered in his path.
Meeks attempted to squeeze between the
duo of defenders but lost the ball as he
went up, credited as a missed shot.
Next possession. Back inside to Meeks.
They werent going to fool him again. He
caught the ball in the post, and before the
second defender could fully slide over,
Meeks made a quick pass out of the trap.
Turnover the ball stolen by a UVa.
guard. Meeks plan disrupted by the double-team. He returned to the end of the
court, shaking his head in frustration.
The UVa. post-to-post double-team
held Meeks to 11 points to go along with six
turnovers. Its the same defensive scheme
that allowed freshman Duke center Jahlil
Okafor to score only 10 points with five
turnovers on Saturday.
You gotta pin your ears back and go,

Bennett told his post players.

Junior UNC forward Brice Johnson
found some holes in UVa.s defense, finishing the night with 14 points yet just
four came in the second half when the
double-teams really swarmed.
He spoke with caution after the loss, as
if to warn future big men of UVa.s defense.
You make a quick move, or you get
it out. Dont try to score over the double
team, he said.
Coach Roy Williams biggest criticism
of the way UNC handled the double-teams
involved his teams 13 turnovers.
I think that if youre strong with the
ball tough-minded youre not gonna
throw the damn thing away, he said.
The six turnovers from Meeks, who
had a 101-degree fever Monday morning,
were a career-high.
Minutes after the turnover that caused
him to shake his head, he got the ball in
the post again. He sliced his way to the
basket before falling to the ground.
Sitting on the hardwood, Meeks looked

Villain-like Petty one to fear

By Logan Ulrich
Senior Writer

As the North Carolina

junior varsity team warms
up before its game against
Milligan, one figure towers
above the rest. Hes a 6-foot-8
freshman forward wearing a
clear mask with black straps
encircling his head like comic
book super villain Bane.
But now is not the time to
fear Tyler Petty. That comes
later.
With his mask hiding a
bushy beard and blond hair,
Petty plays limited minutes
but makes his significant
presence known.
He shoots only 1-for-3 from
the field, but the one comes on
a coast-to-coast, finger-rolling
layup following a steal.
That athleticism is what

PHARMACY

FROM PAGE 1

The average pharmacy

school student borrows
$130,000, according to a
2013 survey of graduates by
the American Association of
Colleges of Pharmacy.
Yue Dong, a second-year
student at UNCs Eshelman
School of Pharmacy, said
she became interested in a
pharmacy career after volunteering in a hospital and
working part-time at a local
pharmacy.
Dong said she is not concerned about the job market
when she graduates and, as
an in-state student, estimated
she will graduate with only
about $20,000 in debt.
Theres a lot of talk about
it becoming the new law
school, but coming from UNC
Im not worried about that at
all, she said.
Alvin Ong, a second-year
UNC pharmacy student,
said as an in-state student,
he has not had to take out
loans to pay for his education. He also said pharmacy
school allows him to pursue
his other educational interests and get into his career
quicker than other professional schools.
I really didnt want to go
to medical school because of
all the years of residency after
medical school and things that
come along with it, he said.

More applicants
In the 1990s, the aging
population and the growing number of prescription
medications increased the
demand for pharmacists,

Coach Hubert Davis about
playing for him at church.
Davis, who is 6 feet 5 inches

said, Yeah! Can you run?
He can obviously do more
than run, Davis said after the
game.

nationwide shortage. More
than 5,900 full-time pharmacist jobs were vacant,
and 98 percent of the country lived in states facing
negative effects of the shortage, according to a 2000
Department of Health and
Human Services report.
The Pharmacy Workforce
Center, a nonprofit organization that studies the pharmacy profession, predicted
a pharmacist shortage of
157,000 by 2020.
Employers began increasing pharmacists salaries and
benefits hoping to fill their
vacancies a 2008 DHHS
report said salaries had risen
6 percent a year for several
years. The average annual
wage was $116,500 in 2013.
High wages, benefits and
job security enticed students
into applying to pharmacy
schools, and the number
of schools rose to meet the
increasing number of applicants. In 2000, there were
82 pharmacy schools in the
United States. As of July
2014, there were 130.

A changing job market

High Point University
is planning on opening a
pharmacy school as part of
an expansion to its School of
Health Sciences. It will be the
fourth pharmacy school in the
state, joining UNC, Wingate
University and Campbell
University.
Wendy Cox, assistant dean
for professional education
at the Eshelman School of
Pharmacy, said the school has
maintained a high job placement rate for its graduates.
Students still have an ability to get a position, she said.

Despite the limiting effects

of the mask it protects the
broken nose he earned playing
pickup ball before the semester started Petty recorded
six rebounds, two blocked
shots, two assists and two
steals before fouling out.
As a freshman, Petty is
still growing as a player. But
his parents, who drive an
hour and 45 minutes from
Salisbury, N.C., to watch
every game, say he has blossomed under Davis tutelage.
They gush superlatives about
the coach who has given them
another season of watching
their son play.
Hes the type of man you
want your son to play for and
to emulate, said Mark Petty,
Tyler Pettys father.
Hes been one of, if not the
best, coaches Ive ever had,

Tyler Petty adds.

Tyler Petty says he didnt
enjoy playing basketball in
high school, when attending
practices and games felt like
an obligation.
But here, I get to play in
the Dean Dome, he finishes,
a broad grin breaking out.
Players like Tyler Petty
are why Davis coaches the
JV team. Despite his size,
athleticism and effort, Tyler
Petty doesnt seriously expect
to make the varsity after hes
done playing for Davis.
Hes just here because he
wants to be and its obvious.
To see the smile on his
face and to see his parents
across the floor smiling, well
thats just awesome, Davis
said. Thats good stuff, man.

I dont know what the outlook will be for me

when I graduate. Ill just have to wait and see.
Alvin Ong,
second-year UNC pharmacy student

When I first started, there

may have been more positions
out there in the more metropolitan areas such as Raleigh
and Durham. Now it is a little
more competitive and they
may have to look for different
opportunities, but there are
still jobs out there.
Michael Manolakis, assistant dean of student development at Wingates School of
Pharmacy, said the current
job market is part of the economys cyclical nature.
The market today feels a
lot like when I graduated in
1987, he said.
There werent open jobs
in the urban areas, and you
might be hired as a floater
going from one store to the
next every week. It is important to be flexible; you need to
be willing to possibly relocate
for that first job.
Both Cox and Manolakis
said their school monitors
graduates to make sure they
are employed and adequately
prepared for the job market.
Neither has found recent
graduating classes struggling
to find employment.
Cox said the job market
for pharmacy school graduates is changing, and schools
should ensure they are preparing students for jobs in
addition to the traditional
corner store.
A lot of people think of
pharmacy in the community realm such as CVS or
Walgreens, but there are certainly a lot of opportunities,

Cox said. They could work

in hospitals or healthcare
systems. They could work in
research with different drug
companies and at the Food
and Drug Administration.
Manolakis said the role of
pharmacists has not changed
and is still vital to the health
care system.
Getting patients access to
and coverage for the services
a pharmacist can provide
is important, he said. We
know when patients, especially those with chronic
conditions, are monitored by
a pharmacist closely, patient
health improves.
Cox said the Eshelman
School of Pharmacy has
implemented an updated
curriculum for fall 2015,
focusing on immersing students in patient care earlier
in their studies.
We are training our pharmacy students to be on the
front lines of health care and
interact with patients, immunize patients, take patient
histories, she said. Not just
for jobs that are existing now,
but in the future as well.
Ong said the job market is
changing but still believes he
will be able to find a job when
he graduates.
The field of pharmacy is
becoming more saturated, but
I dont know what the outlook
will be for me when I graduate, he said. Ill just have to
wait and see.

make that happen, she said.

Lynn Blanchard, director
of the center, said UNC can be
proud of all nine centers and
institutes on the boards list.
Centers and institutes are
the interdisciplinary space of
the University, so theyre the
places where students and
faculty and staff can basically
gather across disciplinary lines
and break down some of the
boundaries, she said. The list
exhibits that the diversity of
the things that folks address.
Blanchard said losing state
money would be a blow, but
the Carolina Center for Public
Service would survive.
People are more willing
to give money when they
see other people investing in
you, and when they see the
University and the state investing in us, they think, well you
know, if they see enough to
invest in, then we want to give
money too, she said.
Maureen Berner, a professor
in the School of Government,
said shes benefited from being
a Thorp Faculty Engaged
Scholar, a program funded by
the Center for Public Service
that offers faculty a $5,000 stipend for two years while they
do research that helps the state.
The Thorp program
provides assistance in getting scholars to get out in
the field and to do this type
of work, rather than to just
ask the theoretical questions
while they sit in their office in
Chapel Hill, Berner said.
Berners research examines
why North Carolinas participation in a federal program to
reduce childrens hunger is
below 20 percent, with zero
participation in some counties.
Her research as a scholar
has attracted the attention
of the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Food and Nutrition
Service, which is starting a
national consortium to do
research on similar topics.

sports@dailytarheel.com

sports@dailytarheel.com
Berner said the Thorp
program represents a small
investment with big payoffs in
terms of national attention.
I absolutely applaud their
work with public service
scholars in the undergraduate
programs, Berner said. The
numbers of students who
pursue public service scholar
status speaks for itself in
terms of having an impact on
undergraduate education.
To be a Buckley Public
Service Scholar, students must
complete 300 hours of service
and graduate with a 3.0 GPA,
among other requirements. In
the class of 2014, 251 students
were Buckley scholars.
Another program in the
center is APPLES, one of the
oldest undergraduate servicelearning programs in the country. APPLES has been part of
the center since 2009 but was
founded by students in 1990.
Senior Cayce Dorrier,
president of APPLES, said the
centers connections across
campus help APPLES implement new ideas.
My college career would
not have been the same without it, so Im hoping that the
Board of Governors can see
all of that from the little time
that (Blanchard) had to present to them, and that well be
able to continue to receive state
funding, because we really do
impact the state a lot, she said.
APPLES is partly paid for by
student fees for service learning. The centers money comes
from the state, grants and gifts,
Blanchard said.
Until the Board of
Governors meet in Charlotte
on Feb. 27, the center must
wait to hear if it will lose onethird of its funding.
Were pretty proud of
everything weve done, and
think that we have demonstrated that the investment
that the state has made in us
has paid off in many different
ways, Blanchard said.

Hillsborough has Google Fiber envy

The town was not
one of seven RaleighDurham cities chosen.
By Hannah Jaggers
Staff Writer

While many Triangle

residents rush to their
computers to test out new,
lightning-speed internet, the
town of Hillsborough will be
waiting for their browsers
and Google Fiber connection to load.
Google Fiber is the technology companys latest
broadband service, offering
a connection speed up to
100 times faster than basic
broadband.
On Jan. 27, Google
announced that Google
Fiber infrastructure will
be installed in seven towns
in the Raleigh-Durham
area, including Chapel Hill,
Durham and Carrboro.
Hillsborough, a town with
a population of about 6,400,
is only 14 miles from Chapel
Hill. The town was not

selected to receive the Google

Fiber services.
Were one of Americas
coolest small towns, and its a
very historical but hip place
thats right on the edge of the
Triangle, said Hillsborough
Mayor Tom Stevens.
Its of course disappointing that we wont have the
availability of the internet
services that Google Fiber
will provide.
Hillsborough is currently
a finalist for Budget Travel
Magazines Coolest Small
Town in America contest.
Stevens said one reason
why Google might have
decided not to bring the service to Hillsborough is the
towns location.
I assume it was strictly a
geographic or marketing area
decision, he said.
Sharyn Arai, owner of Ks
Closet Custom Boutique in
Hillsborough, said the towns
size could have also played a
role in Googles decision.
I personally think that
Hillsborough is an up-andcoming town that deserves
it, but coming from Googles

Its of course disappointing that we wont

have the availability of Google Fiber.
Tom Stevens,

The town will not benefit from the faster internet speeds that Googles fiber optic
network provides. The town might get faster internet from Google competitors.

perspective, I understand that

we dont necessarily have the
high-density population to
support it, Arai said.
Arai said Google Fiber
would help her business and
increase her free time.
It would increase my
productivity, which is always
helpful, Arai said.
I am a small, one-mom
operation here, and any speed
that I get increases the time I
get with my kids.
Stevens said while other
mayors in the Triangle
area were supportive of
Hillsborough receiving the
service, the decision ultimately came down to Google.
When we first got wind
that this area might be
included, we certainly worked
with our fellow mayors to
say, Please make sure we are
included, Stevens said.
And then from Google, it

was just, No, youre not.

Stevens said Google did
not communicate substantially with the town.
We knew that there were
meetings that were happening, Stevens said.
Weve certainly expressed
our interest and it was pretty
much, Well call you.
Christopher McGhee,
owner of Christopher
Rand Construction in
Hillsborough, said the service would help his business
with communication and
that the town seems fit for
Google Fiber.
I really wouldnt understand why they wouldnt
bring it, being that there is
a huge influx of new construction in Hillsborough,
McGhee said.
Stevens said the town
would continue to initiate
new services for its residents.

Q&A with Russia expert Graeme Robertson

All eyes are on Ukraine
and Russia as the countries
begin to show signs of a
relapse into fighting. With
the United States sending
support to Ukraine, and
Russia sending soldiers to
the pro-Russian forces in
Ukraine, many fear the
tension between the two
countries might never have
improved to begin with.
Staff writer Hallie
Dean spoke with Graeme
Robertson, a UNC political
science professor, about the
current conflict. Robertson
graduated from Harvard
University with a masters
degree in Russian, East
European and Central Asian
studies. He is a specialist in
Russian politics.

The Daily Tar Heel: Give

Graeme
Robertson
is a political
science scholar
studying
Eastern
European
politics.
a brief summary of the key
events of the Russia-Ukraine
conflict of the past year or so.

Graeme Robertson: Back

in the fall of 2013, the
Ukrainian president was facing a decision about whether
to sign a corporation agreement with the EU, but he
decided not to, and it was a
big deal with Russia. This
generated some protests
on the streets, which led to
repression of the protestors.
The protests came to a head

with violence on behalf of

the protestors and of the
government in response.
There were attacks on
government buildings and
armories. Pro-Russians
began mimicking this in
eastern Ukraine, declaring
themselves independent.
What is clear is that there
is a big political divide
between Eastern Ukraine
and western Ukraine. With
U.S. support, the Ukrainian
government used military
force to get the separatists
out, which made progress
until the Russians began to
support the separatists.

DTH: Whats happened in

Ukraine since the fall, when
a cease-fire was supposedly
called?
GR: There was always some

fighting going on, but it is

reaching new levels. It has
been very serious, just not
talked about as much. I think
the casualty rates have escalated greatly in the last week.

DTH: How did the U.S.

respond?

GR: The U.S. has seen

this basically as an issue
between the U.S. and Russia.
It has been supportive of
the Ukrainian government
and has created very strict
economic sanctions against
Russia.
It has tried to target these
sanctions on individuals in
Russia who are high up in
the regime or seem to be
associated with the policies
involving Ukraine. It has
also provided non-lethal
equipment to the Ukrainian

Students are using the Universitys water theme as inspiration for a photography project based on the TED-winning Inside Out idea.

Clubs use underwater photos

for public service project
A water-themed
photography project
will debut in March.
By Sarah Vassello
Assistant Arts & Culture Editor

It started with a TED Talk.

Thats what junior Caroline
Orr and sophomore Norman
Archer said inspired them
to create a UNC branch of
the global public art project
Inside Out, created by 2011
TED prize-winning artist JR.
Since then, theyve been
using the UNC water theme
to plan a public art show centered around water, showcasing its uses and impacts ranging from environmental to
athletic to health and beyond.
On Sunday, they kicked off
the promotion of the event
by releasing portraits of the
Inside Out members who will
be contributing to the project.

All photos are shot underwater, a motif they will use to

stand out no other project
in Inside Out history has ever
been shot entirely underwater.
Until the event on March
22, Inside Out UNC has been
planning and will continue
to plan the unveiling of its
organization. Launching its
website and social media platforms less than a month ago,
the momentum is already
building with a little less than
200 combined Facebook and
Twitter followers.
The group announced Jan.
19 that it will be partnering
with UNC Lens for the production and unveiling of this
photo exhibit, set to premiere
on the United Nations World
Water Day.
The portrait photographs,
featuring UNC students,
community members and faculty and will be shot by UNC
Lens members throughout
February and will be public.

The images, some as large

as 3-by-5 feet, will be plastered on walkways and walls
throughout campus. Orrs
goal is to publish 300 to 500
portraits.
(Lens is) very interested in
social causes and using their
skills and their talent as photographers for the good of our
community, and we love that
mission thats what were
trying to do with the overall
concept of the project. Thats
what our theme is all about,
Orr said. That was where the
chemistry happened.
Archer said he is excited
about the level of excellence
Lens brings to the project.
We had a vision of how
this project would work, but
it comes down to the photos
themselves and talking to a
group, being able to say, this
is our vision, and being able
to turn it into our images, he
said. Its been great.
Jaehee Yoo, founder and

executive director of Lens,

echoed their excitement for
the project.
Were really excited because
we love art, and Inside Out
brings something very unique
that you dont really see on
your everyday campus, she
said. Were really excited about
getting involved because not
only do we get our work published, but were raising awareness for water.
Orr, above all else, hopes
the passion for this project
will make the launch and
the message stick.
No ones ever done this
before. Ive never done this
before. Its not like were in
a position where we have a
template to run things, she
said.
Everything is very organic,
and its a grassroots effort,
which I think makes it very
invigorating.

army, and there are now

talks of the U.S. arming it.

DTH: Why would the

U.S. consider arming the
Ukrainian rebels?
GR: The central battlefield with Russia has moved
since the end of the Cold
War from being Eastern
European countries to being
parts of the former Soviet
Union, so from a U.S. perspective, it is about spreading democracy.
It sees Ukraine as an
important place of potential
democratization, so if it can
secure Ukraine, this would
undermine Moscow and
Putin Ukraine is a strategically important place.
DTH: Former Soviet leader
Mikhail Gorbachev accused

the U.S. of drawing Russia

into a new Cold War and foresees this escalating into an
armed conflict. Is he right?

GR: I dont foresee anything like this happening; Russia is just not that
important any more. That
does not mean that we arent
about to enter a period of
bad relations between the
U.S. and Russia. This may
have implications for U.S.
policy in the rest of the
world, specifically places like
Syria, Iran and Afghanistan.
A long-term conflict
between Russia and the U.S.
would be bad for both countries, but it seems almost certain that this is not going away
unless there is a major change
of regime, including Russia
removing Putin from power.

Three teams vie for senior class oce

The teams
hope to get

elections
Wednesday
2015
for the position, which is responsible for
organizing social and fundraising events.
The senior class president
and vice president help run
the class gift program and
organize events for the graduating class.
The team is also responsible for selecting the group
of students who will serve as
senior marshals for the senior
class.
Students can cast their
votes online on Feb. 10 using
their onyen.

Brent McKnight and

Ying Lin
Brent McKnight and Ying
Lin plan to work under their
motto work hard, play hard,
serve hard by increasing
senior participation in events
like UNC Dance Marathon
and organizations like Tar
Heel TABLE and Habitat for
Humanity.
The team would also like
to bring Joy Prom, a prom
for special needs children, to
UNC.
The idea is that the
members of the senior class
would be the prom date for a
student with special needs,
McKnight said.
We want to put on an

event that is just as great or
better than any other prom to
give these special needs students that opportunity.
McKnight said through
service and social events,
the senior class will be like
a community rather than a
network. The team plans to
arrange events exclusive for
seniors, such as a senior day
at Hooker Fields with games
and food trucks.
We want senior year to be
our biggest year yet, Lin said.
We want people to think
back ten years from now and
remember the events they
went to.

Cat Leipold and

Max Williams

Cat Leipold and Max

Williams want to bring the
senior class together with
their Senior Storytime program. At different themed
social events, seniors would
have the chance to stand up
and share their stories with
others.
There are so many different seniors, so I think
Senior Storytime is a great
way bring groups together
and encourage attendance
at senior events, Williams
said.
In terms of service, the
team plans to support the
Boys and Girls Club. Seniors
would be able to interact with
children by tutoring or playing sports.

there is so much more that
we could be doing.

Randolph Mckinnie and

passionate about the issue

of sexual assault, he said.
Its relevant not only to the
University, but to the country

They hope to use
University Career Services to
help students enter the workforce, and they want to bring
local restaurant owners and
cooks to help seniors learn
how to cook for themselves.

UNC beating Duke in commute challenge

In the challenge, 84
students have logged
more than 460 miles.
By Emily Lowe
Staff Writer

When it comes to commuting, UNC students beat Duke

students easily.
At least, thats what the
new Student Commute
Challenge shows.
As part of the challenge,
GoTriangle has encouraged
students from UNC, Duke,
Wake Technical Community

College and N.C. State

University to compete from
Jan. 20 to Feb. 20.
With 84 participants and
467 miles logged, UNC leads
the challenge.
The competition is a
monthlong event with challenges, a weekly raffle and an
iPad mini as the ultimate prize
for the student who logs the
most miles of walking, biking,
carpooling or bus riding.
Lauren Parker, marketing manager for GoTriangle,
said she hoped to build off
current rivalries to see which
school has the most passion
for going green.

We want to encourage people to think about commuting

differently, Parker said.
UNC pharmacology student Marissa Cann expressed
more concerns and sighs of
frustration than excitement
about the challenge.
Cann was originally
pleased about the challenge
and eager to start, but she
gave up as problem after
problem continued to arise.
The website was not very
good, to put it mildly, she said.
Cann said she first signed
up on the website on Jan. 27.
After entering her information, she was informed she

would receive a verification

email shortly after. The email
never came.
She then tried to contact
GoTriangle from the challenges website, but there was
no contact information available. Cann eventually tried
again, and this time the email
went through.
The problems continued
as she had trouble editing
her mileage log and she was
not able to put in the correct
mileage.
The idea is really neat,
Cann said. I really want to
participate. The website is
the problem.

Junior Andrea Stewart

agrees with Cann and said she
faced similar issues.
Stewart had difficulties
maneuvering the website and
found the challenge to be
poorly advertised.
She said GoTriangle should
promote the campaign on a
broader range. Stewart heard
about the challenge from
UNCs Sustainability Office,
but she has not seen it advertised anywhere else since.
Stewart said she appreciates the idea, but thinks
GoTriangle has quite a few
kinks to work out before the
challenge will be successful.

Its good to encourage

other people who live off campus to think of different ways
to get to campus, but Im not
sure about the execution of it
right now, she said.
Cann proposed a re-evaluation of GoTriangles target participants in order to encourage
commuting where it would
impact the most people.
I think its more important
to advertise to faculty, postdocs and other university staff
because, as students, most of us
are taking some mode of alternative transportation already.

Triangle Country: Lettuce Dance!

Adding the dance
studio would not
affect HOPE Gardens.
By Trent Hollandsworth and
Claire Nielsen
Senior Writers

If new plans for 2200

Homestead Road are
approved, an underutilized
portion of the 14-acre property will become a dance studio.
Triangle Country Dancers,
a nonprofit organization that
promotes community dancing
in the region, has expressed
interest in the property that
houses HOPE Gardens
land owned by the town of
Chapel Hill.
John Lashlee, member of
the Triangle Country Dancers
and vice president of the committee working on the proposal, said the group would
use only a limited portion of
the 14-acre property.
The company is requesting
three acres of the property
that are not currently in use
because of their proximity to
a railroad. The group hopes
to renovate the former Sport

Art Gymnastics building,

which sits on the 14 acres on
Homestead Road, into a ballroom for the community.
Adding Triangle Country
Dancers to the property
would have no effect on
HOPE Gardens, Lashlee said.
This would not cause
any downsizing of HOPE
Gardens, Lashlee said.
In 2014, the town worked
with local real estate agents to
identify properties owned by
the town that could potentially
be disposed of or repurposed.
HOPE Gardens
Homestead Road property
was one of the six properties
chosen for review.
The student-run HOPE
Gardens established in 2009
to provide produce to community members, especially those
who are low-income or homeless grew concerned in fall
2014 about its property being
sold by the town.
HOPE Garden Co-Chair
John Powers declined to comment for this article.
HOPE Gardens petitioned
the Chapel Hill Town Council
at its Sept. 8 meeting to take
their land off the list of properties being considered for

sale or other uses.

Triangle Country Dancers
interest in the property is
mostly due to the overcrowding they experience at their
current venue, the Carrboro
Century Center.
Lashlee said 18 percent of
the groups dances are overcrowded at the current space.
He said attendees regularly
have to be turned away from
events due to overcapacity.
The proposed venue would
have a capacity of around
325 people, compared to the
Carrboro Century Centers
limit of 225 occupants.
The negative aspects of the
location that were addressed
in the proposal include the
costs associated with rehabilitating the building, putting in
a sewer line and being in an
noncommercial area.
This proposal was brought
to the Town Council on Jan.
12. The proposal has not proceeded since because there
were multiple proposals for
town staff review that the
council received that day.
Triangle Country Dancers
hopes to obtain a long-term
lease from the town and has
not yet made an offer to pur-

proposal to the town said it
would spend $100,000.
The building would also
be used for school and camp

programs involving the arts

as well as other art, music and
dance events.
We need a regional space
for dancing, Lashlee said.

We are a volunteer organization that loves to give back to

the community.

Tar Heels get revenge against Texas A&M

The womens tennis
team came out with
the victory this time.
By Kayleigh Payne
Staff Writer

North Carolina junior

Ashley Dai might not have
the opportunity to rewrite
history.
But she did accomplish
the next best thing in
Sundays womens tennis
match featuring No. 3 UNC
and No. 17 Texas A&M.
During the 2013-14 season,
UNC suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 loss against the
Aggies, with Dai losing the
final match on the court. On
Sunday, however, the Tar
Heels were determined for a
different outcome.
They got it. UNC: 4. Texas
A&M: 3.
We definitely talked about
(last year) before the match
(Sunday) and used it as motivation, Dai said.
It was important to the
team to use last year as a
learning step rather than a
distraction.
In an almost exact
sequence of events as the
spring 2014 matchup, the
Tar Heels dominated in the

doubles. With three decisive

wins, 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3, UNC
went up 1-0.
We came out strong in
the doubles, Coach Brian
Kalbas said. We played well
in the singles, too. Jamie
(Loeb) got off the court
quickly, which was nice to
see, but we were playing a
tough opponent.
The Aggies came roaring
back in the singles matches.
Senior Caroline Price, ranked
No. 22, lost to the unranked
Rutuja Bhosale.
Suddenly it was tied 3-3
with one match left on the
court.
During the 2013-14 season, Dai was defeated in
the last match, sending the
Tar Heels home with the
4-3 loss. This year, in the
final match again, she used
that loss as motivation to
top Texas A&Ms Stefania
Hristov 7-5.
It was nice to see Ashley
come through at the end,
Kalbas said. It was fitting
after losing a dramatic match
last year.

Sundays win increased

North Carolinas winning
streak to five matches. Kalbas
emphasized the fact that this
powerful start to the season
is important for the teams
confidence.
The win is timely with
this, the team is headed to the
ITA National Team Indoor
Championship this weekend,
Feb. 6 through Feb. 9.
In the 2013-14 season, the
Tar Heels lost to Duke in this
event. But now, fresh off of a
second-chance victory against
Texas A&M, the team is looking to make a clean sweep
this year.
In order to do that, UNC
realizes it is important to
maintain a healthy roster.
I am focused on staying healthy because Ive
struggled with that, and it
is such a quick turnaround,
Dai said of her focus for the
next week and the rest of the
season.
Everyone needs time to
recuperate, Kalbas followed.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The more time since a student has graduated, the less useful such a make up class
becomes.

Seth Rose

he run up to the Super

Bowl showcases an
annual re-up in the
tight bond between the sports
world and American troops
abroad. Although the extreme
pressure of the occasion
brought the Seahawks and
Patriots to blows Sunday night,
the teams were aligned in their
admiration of the troops.
Star safety Kam Chancellor
offered thanks to the troops
from the Seahawks and the
12th man, the moniker for
Seattles rabid fan base.
Vince Wilfork, the all-toobig Patriots lineman, displayed
humility in the midst of the
media madness.
Thank you for everything
you guys do for us, he said. You
guys are the true patriots. You
are everything we want (to be),
so thank you for all the service
you guys provide for us.
Tributes to the troops often
come across like Wilforks a
genuine appreciation for the
danger they put themselves
through for this country.
Some of my more liberal
friends may scoff at this ritual
reverence, but I can get down
with public support for the
troops. But we dont back up our
words with action.
After Sundays game, I picked
up a book my parents bought
me for Chanukah, Just Mercy,
by Bryan Stevenson. The book is
full of rich stories about societal
condemnation, but this passage
stood out to me:
By the mid-1980s, nearly
20 percent of the people in
jails and prisons in the United
States had served in the military. While the rate declined in
the 1990s as the shadows cast
by the Vietnam War began to
recede, it has picked up again
as a result of the military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to the Department
of Defense, 230,000 soldiers
and veterans suffered traumatic
brain injuries between 2001
and 2014 as a result of exposure to blasts. If history repeats
itself, the difficulty of carrying
this trauma back to civilian
life will cause a lot of Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans to end up
homeless or incarcerated.
The first person executed in
the nation this year, Andrew
Brannan, was a decorated
Vietnam veteran with posttraumatic stress disorder.
Promising new measures are
being taken to address the state
of veterans in the penal system.
Veterans Treatment Courts
are opening across the nation,
which pair court appearances
with mentoring and treatment options. The Veterans
Treatment Court advocacy
group Justice for Vets claims
these courts successfully prevent the over-incarceration of
veterans. Two of these courts
have opened in North Carolina
already, and a third is planned
to open in Durham.
Unfortunately, veterans
treatment centers are only
available to nonviolent and
misdemeanor offenders. A
2004 study by the Department
of Justice revealed that more
than half of veterans in state
prison were imprisoned for
committing a violent offense.
New measures must be
discovered to ensure Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans are kept
from falling into prisons. As
it stands, we are too ready to
support the troops in faraway
lands, and too slow to help
them at home.

Ban the box, Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill should
be in the business
of second chances.

hapel Hill should

follow Durhams
lead and ban the
box asking about job applicants conviction histories.
Two years have passed
since the city and county of
Durham removed the question from initial applications for county jobs.
Perhaps uncoincidentally, the number of Durham
county residents employed
is at its highest since 2009,
and rising. Instances of
violent crime in the workplace the most common
objection to the ordinance

have not risen commensurately, according to

a study by the Southern
Coalition for Social Justice.
Like the four states that
passed similar laws statewide in 2014, Durham
has done its part to help
those convicted of crimes
become productive members of their communities.
It is an unfair reality
that the formerly incarcerated have severely reduced
opportunities for honest
employment compared to
the average applicant, due
largely to practices such as
the conviction history box.
An honest response will
likely eliminate that applicant from further consideration and will completely

obscure that applicants

merits. A 2009 study found
that workplace turnover
among ex-offenders was
lower than that among
non-offenders, indicating
such a stigma is unfounded
and harmful to ex-offenders
and the community they
could serve. Limiting access
to work dooms the convicted to make a living in other
criminalized spheres.
The elimination of exoffender discrimination
in Chapel Hill could boost
employment and reduce
the towns recidivism rate.
Chapel Hill leaders should
take a serious look at banning the box and encourage private businesses to
do the same.

Where is the ASG?

ASG representatives
must speak out
against misdeeds.

ssociation
of Student
Governments
president, Alex Parker, has
voiced his desire to reform
the ASGs approach to
advocacy. But as he nears
the end of his term, he has
little to show for it.
The ASG and Parker are
tasked with holding administrators accountable and
unifying student voices.
Despite its stated focus
on managing tuition
increases, the ASG has

failed to influence proposed

tuition hikes that will average to 4 percent across all
system campuses next year.
Although it is hampered by
forces beyond its control,
the ASG has failed to promote awareness or build
any mechanism for students to give their input.
Nor has the ASG spoken out in other cases.
Parker has said the Board
of Governors plan to cap
and freeze tuition-funded
financial aid was fair but
that the policy needed to
be looked at every year.
At the December meeting, the board discussed
cutting or defunding 34

UNC-system centers and

institutes. Parker was silent,
later claiming to be saving his political capital for
behind-the-scenes use.
Given Parkers current
efforts to earn himself a
permanent role on the
selection board for the new
UNC-system president
even after his term ends, it
is clear the leadership of the
ASG is out of touch with its
constituent students.
The time to act and
use this small amount
of political capital has
long passed. It is time for
Parker to stand with UNC
community members and
to speak on their behalf.

TO THE EDITOR:
We, the undersigned,
are faculty, staff and graduate students in the UNC
departments of geography and religious studies,
housed in Saunders Hall.
We write today in
solidarity with the efforts
of The Real Silent Sam
Coalition to address the
history of racial violence
that is cemented into the
very bricks and mortar of
the Chapel Hill campus.
We support the coalitions
demands: to mark the
statue of Silent Sam with
a plaque explaining how it
commemorates a history of
white supremacy; to provide all incoming first-year
students with educational
material addressing the history of racialized violence
on campus; and to rename
Saunders Hall.
William L. Saunders
was the chief organizer of
the Ku Klux Klan in North
Carolina. The administration continues to affirm
his legacy and deny the
University communitys
demand to rename the
building. As a public institution with commitments
to diversity and inclusion,
UNC can neither honor
nor tolerate racial violence.
We refuse to remain complicit with the continued
legacy of racism on campus.
Rename Saunders Hall.
Black lives mattered then,
and they matter now.
In solidarity,
Mike Dimpfl, on behalf
of 84 members of the

DTH parroted attack

message uncritically
TO THE EDITOR:
I was disappointed to
read your unfair characterization of the work of
the Center for Civil Rights
as partisan advocacy in
the subhead of Mondays
story, Civil rights center
on the block: The center
is unapologetic about its
partisan advocacy efforts
across the state.
By uncritically adopting the language of UNC
Board of Governors member Steven Long, who said
advocacy efforts are inherently partisan, The Daily
Tar Heel does a disservice
to the work of the center
staff and to the University
community.
The centers legacy of
advocacy for poor and
marginalized communities across the state
reflects the vital mission
of this university of the
people to benefit all North
Carolinians.
That members of
the Board of Governors
condemn the centers
advocacy in their inquisitorial review indicts not
the centers fidelity to the
Universitys mission but
their own. Prior to his

appointment, Long sat

on the Board of Directors
for Civitas Action, a conservative advocacy group
he incorporated for the
purpose of promoting the
social welfare of the people
of North Carolina, which
spent over $200,000 on
ads opposing Democratic
state legislators in 2010.
His belief that advocacy
is inherently partisan is
unsurprising.
The UNC Board of
Governors has allowed a
partisan agenda to eclipse
its responsibility to the
people of North Carolina in
dismantling this university
of the people. The Daily Tar
Heel should join all North
Carolinians who believe in
the public mission of the
University in holding them
accountable.

Class of 13

Dinner didnt exclude

conservative voices
TO THE EDITOR:
It has been said that a lie
can travel halfway around
the world while the truth
is still putting on its shoes.
One such lie is that UNCs
administration deliberately
excluded conservatives from
a recent diversity dinner as a
result of liberal bias.
In a comment on a Daily
Tar Heel article, Frank Pray,
the chairman of the College
Republicans, wrote that he
finds it laughable that his
organization was not invited to this dinner, a snub
which he characterized as
an attempt to blatantly
leave out all student organizations that represent the
conservative viewpoint.
The story was picked up
by a national conservative
blog, alleging exclusion of
conservative viewpoints.
All these accounts conveniently leave out a crucial
fact: no political organizations were invited to the
dinner.
Yes, the College
Republicans were not
invited. Neither were the
Young Democrats, Campus
BluePrint, the Roosevelt
Institute, The Hill, J Street
U, Students United for
Reproductive Justice,
Feminist Students United,
Students for a Democratic
Society, Student Power
Union or the Sierra Student
Coalition, just to name a
few. Rather than a liberal
conspiracy, this results from
the fact that administration
was presumably trying to
meet with organizations
that work on campus diversity, not campus politics.
In another comment,
the chairman of College
Republicans wrote: If
they dont want to include
the College Republicans,
thats fine so long as the
Young Democrats are also
excluded.
Sadly, he failed to even
verify this fact before
attacking our university. Even sadder is that
Chancellor Carol Folt has
decided to gratify these
attacks by meeting with
him on Wednesday.
