Trustees prolong Saunders saga

Upscale

replaces
Players
The Strowd will open
above Suttons Drug
Store on Thursday.

need: for him to hurt himself

again because hes a vital part
of our team, James said.
This season, Meeks has
made 31 starts while averaging
11.6 points and 7.4 rebounds
a game. Hes also been tasked
with guarding some of the best
opposing big men UNC has
faced from freshman Duke
center and ACC Player of the
Year Jahlil Okafor to Arkansas

The longtime nightclub

space above Suttons Drug
Store has been quiet since
June, but it will celebrate a
grand opening today after a
complete transformation.
Remodeling the space, owners George Draper and Michael
Rosenbacher wanted to start a
new chapter with the opening of
The Strowd, an upscale bar and
nightclub that overlooks East
Franklin Street.
The club is celebrating its
grand opening Thursday at 6
p.m. It will feature a performance from local jazz band Tea
Cup Gin.
We had a bit of a soft opening, with a few private events,
but the word of mouth has been
phenomenal, Rosenbacher
said. Now we really just want
to officially welcome everybody
to our spot and show them what
weve done.
The Strowds opening follows
the closure of Players nightclub
in June.
After obtaining a building
permit, Draper and Rosenbacher
embarked on a six-month
renovation process for the
5,000-square-foot facility.
The renovations include
completely redone floors and
bathrooms, a revamped bar area,
walls that would expose more
of the old-style brick and the
removal of the dropped ceiling.
The club is decorated with art
divided into four sections: bar,
dance floor, lounge and VIP
area, and a separate seating area
near the windows that overlook
Franklin Street.
The space that was up here
was just so outdated, itd been
there for about 25 years, Draper
said. Even once we made the
decision to give it a facelift and
started gutting everything out, I
had no idea it was going to turn
out as nice as it did.
Draper said that despite
the remodel, The Strowd has
retained some of the essence of
its predecessors by maintaining a similar layout, with the
bar and dance floor in the same
locations.
The Strowd is named after
the building it is housed in,
which was built in 1923 by
the Strowd family and is now
owned by Draper.
Draper said he and
Rosenbacher decided to open
the business after they noticed
a lack of downtown nightclub
options.
Rosenbacher approached
him with the idea to completely
transform the facility into a
new bar and nightclub that
would have the capacity to host
large private activities and live
music events.
Draper said The Strowd will
open at 5 p.m. during the week,
and he wants the club to appeal
to a diverse crowd, including
students, university faculty and
local professionals.
Were trying to get an older
crowd up here earlier, Draper
said. Anyone from graduate

Students from The Real Silent Sam Coalition attend the UNC Board of Trustees meeting Wednesday to discuss renaming the academic building Saunders Hall.

Trustees spent hours on a proposal to rename Saunders Hall

By Bradley Saacks
University Editor

After two hours of explaining and pleading, the

conversation on renaming Saunders Hall continues.
Hearing eight different presentations by students, faculty and historians, UNC Board of
Trustees University Affairs committee did not make
a final decision on the future of Saunders Hall.
My understanding and my belief with everyone on the board is that we are going to try to
act as quickly as we can. But they are going to
continue with their deliberate nature, Chancellor
Carol Folt said after the University Affairs committee held its Wednesday meeting.
Folt said she could not answer whether this issue
will be resolved at the May meeting of the Board.
In the past year, there have been renewed efforts
to take William L. Saunders name off of the building on the lower quad. Wednesdays meeting was
packed due to the release of board members Chuck
Duckett and Alston Gardners report and research
on Saunders Hall and its potential renaming.
This might be a record for the most people we

have ever had at a committee meeting, Gardner

said before the committee began its session.
Before any presentations, Gardner and Duckett
explained their process. Duckett said he spent
hundreds of hours researching and consulting
more than 200 students, experts and historians.
Our strategy in this discussion is to build a
comprehensive solution the names of buildings
are just part of that, Gardner said.
While there is a dispute between activists and the
Board about what specific actions Saunders was or
wasnt involved in, there was one key fact the two
groups agree upon: Saunders was identified by the
1920 Board of Trustees as the head of the KKK.
This segued into presentations, which were
led by The Real Silent Sam Coalition. Seniors
Omololu Babatunde, Dylan Mott and Taylor
Webber-Fields spoke on behalf of the group.
The three students speech covered topics ranging from historical microaggressions to current,
Yik Yak-influenced culture while their supporters
held up signs with sayings such as Can you see us
now? and BOT, value ALL of your students.
Babatunde questioned the Universitys use of stu-

dents of color in brochures and on websites when
the campus and its monuments oppress them.
Diversity without justice is not enough, she
said. If you are asking us to be your diversity,
then we are demanding justice.
The coalition was followed by UNC College
Republicans chairman Frank Pray, who said he
and his organization supported the removal of
Saunders name from the building.
Law professor Eric Muller presented another
idea to the Board: Instead of renaming Saunders,
he proposed turning the building into a site
where students could learn about the history of
the state and its flagship University.
Carolina was built not just on the brilliance
of a William Friday but the ugliness of a William
Saunders, he said.

An N.C. proposal would benefit the

states top high school students.
By Eric Surber
Staff Writer

North Carolina might beat President Barack

Obama to offering free community college, at
least for top performing high school students.
A proposal moving through the state legislature
is designed to benefit North Carolina high school
students who graduate with at least a 3.5 GPA. If
a students financial aid doesnt cover the cost of
community college, the state would fill in the gaps
for two years. Legislators discussed House Bill 129
on Tuesday in an N.C. House committee.
This will help us be a little bit more competitive with our neighboring states, said Rep. Jeffrey
Elmore, R-Alleghany, noting that Georgia, South
Carolina and Tennessee have similar programs.
The bill sets aside $2 million to pay for scholarships in the 2016-17 fiscal year.
Elmore, a primary sponsor of the bill, said it
would help build a stronger workforce to meet
the states needs while also saving both the state
and students a significant amount of money.
The state pays $13,419 per student annually for
in-state tuition at UNC-system schools, while a year
of community college costs the state $4,401.
The proposal builds on the states Comprehensive
Articulation Agreement, which allows high school
students admitted to UNC-system universities to
defer admission for two years, enroll in any state

LOS ANGELES Before he

could even fully get seated on
the STAPLES Center sideline,
photographers and reporters
flocked. Before a trainer could
even fully strap a brace on his
left knee, cameras shuttered
and tweets were quickly sent.
All eyes were on sophomore
forward Kennedy Meeks during open practice Wednesday
afternoon, a day before the
fourth-seeded North Carolina
mens basketball team faces
West Region No. 1 seed
Wisconsin (33-3, 16-2 Big Ten)
in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.
But the flood of media attention and curiosity since Meeks
sprained his left knee in UNCs
third round win over Arkansas
on Saturday hasnt produced
the answer everyone is seeking.
Meeks status for the Wisconsin
game remains unknown.
We dont know anything
about Kennedy, confirmed
Coach Roy Williams after the
open practice. This morning
he did some contact on a limited basis for the first time.

Jury duty blues

From staff and wire reports

ts no secret that everyone hates jury duty.

One man took that loathing to the next
level. A Pennsylvania man was arrested
when he came to court for a child custody
hearing because he didnt show up for jury duty
11 times in two years. He must have really bad
luck for getting jury duty that many times in the
first place. The judge told him that as long as he
showed up to all future jury duty calls, he would
not have to pay a $500 fine and spend 10 days in
jail. Maybe his luck is starting to turn.
NOTED. While the police
were searching for a man in
connection with a burglary,
he led them straight to him
by sending a Snapchat of
himself hiding in a cabinet
in a specific house. He was
then found in said cabinet.

QUOTED. I appreciate her

response, but the question
on the grammar still holds
true.

responding to Taylor Swift
saying they misquoted her
lyrics in a grammar exercise.

Globe trotter nds a home at UNC

Quinta Fernandes lived
around the world before
arriving in Chapel Hill.
By Acy Jackson
Staff Writer

When it came time to decide

where to go to college, sophomore
Quinta Fernandes, who has lived
on multiple continents and already
had a lifetimes worth of experiences,
decided to call UNC home.
I realized I hadnt spent much
time in the country I was born in, and
maybe Id like to do that be the
American that I am, Fernandes said.
Born in the U.S., she has lived in
Gambia, England, Tanzania, New
York, Winston-Salem and Austria,
where she finished high school.
Her mother works for the United
Nations and is stationed in Senegal.
I love it. I really enjoyed it,
Fernandes said of the constant traveling. Its just been such a part of
my life. Its normal but exciting.
It can be hard, but if you appreciate the opportunity versus lamenting
the fact that you have to leave a lot of

people behind,
you can learn
to enjoy it even
though it can be
a bit unstable.
Despite
the instability, Fernandes
friends describe her as dependable.
Shes like my conscience. When
Im deciding something or if I feel a
certain way about something, shes
always there to say, Hey, get your shit
together. She keeps me on track, said
Riya Viswanathan, her suitemate.
Joining an African dance team as
well as gaining hands-on experience
by working in a lab, Fernandes has
delved into UNC and made it her own.
I think shes very wise beyond her
years. The way she carries herself,
shes very classy, very professional.
Very easy going but feels a certain
way about certain things, and shell
tell you if necessary, said her roommate Maria Mullis.
Fernandes is a sophomore biology
and French major and also speaks
Wolof and Krio, languages spoken
throughout the African region where
she once lived. She hopes to someday
work for Doctors Without Borders.

Shes one of the very few people I

know that has her shit together, she
actually has everything together,
Viswanathan said. She has a plan.
She knows what she wants to do with
her life.
Fernandes said she came to UNC to
spend time in America. She had heard
about the school from friends when
she spent time in North Carolina.
She said she has made lifelong
friends at UNC who plan to be in
one anothers weddings.
She has a lot of swag, said
Viswanathan.
Fernandes said Southern values and
African values align in some ways that
made the culture shift less difficult.
Having a culture of hospitality
and also people having a lot of religion being quite central to their lives,
Fernandes said. Because there are
more conservatives in this region of
America Africans are fairly conservative, too I might not be, but Im
used to it and it doesnt bother me.
Its so normal, its a part of everyday
life. Its not that bizarre.
Shes made a home here.
For other places Ive visited in the
States, people are quite interested
in my background, which is nice,

but you almost become a spectacle

them instead of always being that one

Sophomores Seher Khalid (left), of High Point, and Noor Baloch, of Cary, view the gallery Passion in Practice in the Student Union Wednesday afternoon.

The new exhibit honors the Chapel Hill shooting victims

Staff Writer

The faces of Deah Barakat, Yusor

Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha
will now greet members of the
UNC community as they enter the
Student Unions art gallery.
The new exhibit, Passion in
Practice: Muslims of the Carolinas,
opened on Wednesday and displays enlarged photos of 17 North
Carolina Muslims taken in ways
that exemplify how each person lives
Islam in his or her daily life.
Junior Aisha Anwar and senior
Layla Quran, who created the exhibit, wanted to share Muslims stories.
We wanted to focus on how Islam
drives people and how people are
working with their hands to improve
their community, said Anwar.

Visitors on Wednesday seemed to

be in high spirits as they explored the
exhibit. People displayed in the gallery
took pictures in front of their photos,
and others milled about in groups.
Anwar and Quran spoke briefly to
introduce the exhibit, referencing the
three Chapel Hill shooting victims.
The three people that best represented this exhibit are no longer
with us. We felt like this was the
least we could do to honor Deah,
Yusor and Razan, said Anwar.
Krista Bremer, a memoirist
whose photograph is in the exhibit,
also spoke to the crowd, touching on
her personal journey with Islam.
If you take a step toward God, he
comes running to you in the form of
so many great people, said Bremer.
Passionate words came from
Manzoor Cheema, a Muslim activ-

ist and filmmaker, who described

a need to join the grassroots
movement and fight against
Islamophobia eliciting choruses
of snaps and rousing applause at
the end.
I was snapping throughout
his speech, said UNC sophomore
Amina Garba.
Students and community members
recognized the importance of the
event following Februarys shooting,
which rocked the Muslim world.
In wake of the tragedy, its
important to show people that
Muslims are diverse and active in
the community, Garba said.
Saarah Khan, a sophomore, said
the memories of the three victims
are always on her mind and that she
felt compelled to honor them.
Attendees frequently cited

the biased depiction of Muslims

in the media as a key part of the
Islamophobia that remains in society.
So often people ask where the
normal Muslims are, said Khan.
If (the exhibit) can prevent any
more Islamophobia, its a great
method, Garba added.
Anwar said the exhibit is important for the Chapel Hill community
because it gives a fair voice to people
who wanted to be represented and
make a statement about what Islam
means to them.
The exhibit is on display for the
rest of the spring semester, and
Quran said she hopes people keep
stopping by and visiting.
Hopefully it sparks a dialogue,
and we want people talking about it.

4 council positions up for election in Chapel Hill

Councilmen Donna Bell
and Lee Storrow already
declared theyll run again.
By Elizabeth Harvell
Staff Writer

Of the eight member seats on

the Chapel Hill Town Council, four
positions will be up for election in
November, and members are now
starting to decide whether to run for
re-election.
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark
Kleinschmidt, whose seat is also up
for re-election, said he has not yet
decided whether to seek re-election.
Ill be making the decision and

he said.
Two council members, Donna
Bell and Lee Storrow, have already
announced their decisions to pursue
re-election.

Bell said affordable housing and

economic development are her primary focus, but she is supportive of
a lot of the councils other programs.
I feel we are really working in the
right direction, and thats why I want
to come back and continue being a
part of this work, Bell said.
Lee Storrow, Chapel Hills youngest
council member, has already developed a platform for his next campaign.
My first promise is to break
ground on a sewage service on Roger
Road within my next four-year term
if re-elected, Storrow said.
Storrow said a boost to the tourism
industry will be another key focus.
Visitor promotion is real motivation in moving forward, leading to
more economic growth, Storrow said.
Jim Ward said he intends to run
but has not yet made an official
announcement.
He said he would want to continue focusing on affordable housing

Marshe Wyche had seen thousands of items pass through her

Chapel Hill thrift boutique.
But black Dr. Martens boots,
womens size 9, 30 years old,
made in England, 20 holes climbing to the knee this find shed
only seen once. So she posted it to
Instagram for a lucky user to find.
I could have them in my store
and wait for that girl to come
in. Or that girl can find it in two
seconds because shes hashtagsearched Dr. Martens because
shes looking for a cheap pair,
said Wyche, the co-owner of
Rumors Boutique.
Wyche is one of many business
owners in Chapel Hill turning to
Instagram an online photoand video-sharing social network
to brand and market themselves to a younger audience.
Wyche said each day, 30 or
40 people mention they saw
something on Instagram, and the
posts generate about $400.
While only a quarter of all adult
internet users are on the site
compared to 71 percent who use
Facebook over half of internet
users aged 18 to 29 use Instagram,
according to a 2014 study by the
Pew Research Center.
UNC has nearly 30,000 students, the majority of whom live
in the Chapel Hill area.
Kristen Smith, spokeswoman
for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
Chamber of Commerce, said she
urges chamber members to build
relationships on Instagram.
Its a way businesses can get
their content in front of their
customers, but its while an individual is just scrolling through
their account, whether that be on
Facebook, Instagram or Twitter,
she said.
A 2014 study by Forrester
revealed top brands posts on
Instagram engaged followers
almost 60 times more than on
Facebook and 140 times more
than on Twitter, which may be
why more businesses are turning
to the network.
We know that a visual platform is really effective, said
Claudia Kubowicz Malhotra,
who teaches marketing at UNC
and has studied how companies
use social media to build their
brands. Its really just about creating and sustaining a relationship with customers.
Suttons Drug Store, a nearly
100-year-old Franklin Street staple, created an Instagram account
about eight months ago and now
has more than 220 followers.
I still think we havent figured
out exactly what our main goal
is with Instagram, said cashier
Sam Hodges, who created and
maintains the account with fellow employee Clay Pinney.
Malhotra said Instagram is
best for businesses in industries
with a natural visual component,
like fashion and food.
But nowhere to be found on
@suttonsdrugstore are photos
of the restaurants crispy crinklecut fries or its famous burgers,
dogs, milkshakes, its red-andwhite-striped awning or any of
the photos plastering Suttons
walls of athletes, celebrities or
regular folks dining in with
the exception of one post featuring actor and former UNC basketball player Rick Fox.
Malhotra said many small
business owners dont appear to
have much of a strategy when
it comes to Instagram, and that
works against them.
They kind of try it and try
to see what works, and they
quickly learn that its hard to
get much of anything to work,
Malhotra said. Theres tons of
things competing for those seconds and those eyeballs.
She said older business owners can benefit from hiring young
people to handle their social
media accounts.
Who better to talk to a
younger target market than a
younger person? she asked.
Bennett Gibson, former manager of The Gentlemens Corner
in Chapel Hill, said social media
could help places on Franklin
Street reporting slow business.
I love this town, but sometimes it seems a bit stuck in its
ways, he said.

Job fair in Smith Center to draw 1,200

By Luman Ouyang
Staff Writer

The winter weather

cancelled class, but it only
postponed the Spring Job &
Internship fair.
The Spring Job & Internship
Expo will now take place
Thursday afternoon at the
Smith Center. Ninety employers will come to UNC at an
event organizers are hoping
will draw 1,200 students.

Its a great opportunity

for all students, even first- or
second-year students, who
are trying to figure out what
they are majoring in and what
they are going to do, said Jeff
Sackaroff, the associate director
of University Career Services.
The job fair is open to all
majors. It is especially helpful
for the students who are looking
for a summer job or job after
graduation, Sackaroff said.
Information about the job
fair is on an app, Guidebook,
for the first time.
It gives them an opportunity to read about the employers
before they approach them,
Sackaroff said. The app also
incorporates a map of where
certain employers are.
A common story Sackaroff
hears from students is that the
job fair opens their eyes after
they talk to multiple employers.
They became excited about
the job that they never thought
about, Sackaroff said.
Employers are usually
impressed by the quality of

UNC students communication skills, knowledge, resumes

and more, Sackaroff said.
The AroundCampus Group,
a marketing company, has participated in the spring career
fair for 15 years.
We found it a very good
resource, said Sean Guy, a
national sales manager for the
company.
The company especially
values students competiveness
and strong work ethics.
Chapel Hill is a difficult
school to get in, Guy said.
The company also looks
for students enrolled in competitive programs, such as the
Kenan-Flagler Business School.
The company is sending five
representatives to the job fair to
hire for positions in production,
customer relations and sales.
Sackaroff recommends students do research about the
employers and make a list of
their top five. At the job fair,
they should try to practice
introducing themselves before
reaching their top five employ-

ers.
When you go, first go to
other employers for practice,
so you are a little bit warmed
up, and then you know what
to say, Sackaroff said.
Guy said a bright color in
a students outfit might make
him or her stand out.
For me, its someone wearing something bright a red
tie, a red skirt or something
like that, Guy said.
Lili Chen, a sophomore
at UNC, has been to two or
three career fairs.
I really like the setting
that youre able talk to professionals or a recruiter from a
specific company, Chen said.

General Alumni Association

The Universitys public relations team is putting out more

positive stories, but the development office still hasnt seen a
return on that investment.
(Vice Chancellor for
Communications and Public
Affairs) Joel (Curran) and his
team continue to create good
stories, but we are still waiting for people to come to the
website and see them, said
Vice Chancellor for University
Development David Routh.
While Wednesdays Board
of Trustees meeting was
highlighted by the University
Affairs committees public
conversation on the renaming
of Saunders Hall, the Boards
other committees discussed
the campus master plan,
UNCs social media improvement and alumni investment,
among other topics.
The finance and infrastructure committee meeting
began with Rouths presentation on the state of donations
and gifts for this financial
year at the University.
Routh said despite 225
people working in some capacity for the development office,
its the extra effort from deans
and faculty that help push
them over the top. He cited a
speech that Provost Jim Dean
gave to his staff, which Routh
described as inspiring.
As for the development
website and personalized
newsletters for donors, Routh
said some tinkering might be

needed.
The development office,
however, has had no problem raising money this
year. Routh said gifts have
increased from $105,555,309
in the previous financial year
to $114,669,894 this year, an
11 percent increase.
Routh attributed some of
this growth to new hires in
the development, but said he
was not close to filling out
his team.
While we are still building
and hiring out, we are still
putting out some pretty good
numbers, he said.
Routh was followed by
Matt Fajack, vice chancellor
for finance and administration, and Anna Wu, assistant
vice chancellor for facilities
operations, planning and
design, who discussed the
impending campus master
plan, which will examine how
the University can best utilize
its space.
Wu is the main driver of
the plan and is hoping to have
it up for review and approval
by fall 2016, something she
called an aggressive schedule. Wu hopes to bring
Baltimore-based consulting
group Ayers Saint Gross to
help with the plan.
The committee approved
the firm choice in a vote at
the end of the meeting.
Most of the external affairs
committee meeting was
spent in closed session, but in
the time when the proceedings were open, the UNC
media team presented on
the improvement of both the

website and the Universitys

social media accounts.
According to a presentation given to the committee,
UNC has seen a huge rise in
its Twitter, Instagram and
Facebook engagement. Since
January, the Universitys
verified Twitter account has
gained 8,000 followers, and
its Instagram profile has gone
from just under 12,000 followers to more than 16,000.
The Boards innovation
and impact committee met
Wednesday afternoon to look
at how UNC compares to
educational peers in federal
research spending and alumni investment and spending
on the state level.
Judith Cone, interim vice
chancellor for commercialization and economic development, presented information
on alumni involvement with
technology start-ups.
Its important to remember that we live within a
region, and we live within a
state, Cone said. We have to
see what were contributing
on both of those levels.
Cones research concluded
that UNC had contributed to
several technology start-ups
in the state, but Chancellor
Carol Folt and other trustees
were concerned about how the
Universitys involvement compared to other state schools.
Were probably on the low
end when you compare us to
other schools, said trustee
Jefferson Brown. I wouldnt be
surprised by that at all.

States weigh laws allowing marijuana for medical use

Though marijuana remains a Schedule 1 substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act, 23 states now have legal medical marijuana programs.
In North Carolina, any recreational use and most medical uses are still a crime. Recreational marijuana is legal in four states and Washington, D.C.

WOMENS LACROSSE: NORTH CAROLINA 14, VIRGINIA TECH 5

Womens lacrosse rebounds Wednesday

By Kayleigh Payne
Staff Writer

The No. 3 North Carolina

womens lacrosse team did not
make the same mistake twice.
Fresh off their first conference loss in the previous game
against Boston College, the
Tar Heels knew they needed to
regain confidence and focus.
And with a convincing 14-5
win against Virginia Tech,
they did just that.
But the opening minutes of
Wednesdays game seemed to
be leading the Tar Heels (9-2,
2-1 ACC) to another loss.
The Hokies (5-7, 0-4 ACC)
came out strong with an early
2-0 lead, and UNC could not
put the ball in the net despite

many opportunities and shots.

That was when the Tar
Heels woke up.
We came out a little bit
slow, but we figured out how
to get back into it, said sophomore midfielder Maggie Bill.
After falling behind 3-1,
UNC got back into it with three
goals in four minutes to lead
4-3. In the second half, the Tar
Heels scored four unanswered
goals and nearly tripled the
Hokies.
I felt we improved, Coach
Jenny Levy said. We made
some improvements, and
thats our goal coming out of
every time out being better
than the last time we were on
the field.
Bill, with two goals and one

assist, was among the leaders

of UNCs scoring onslaught.
This game wasnt about personal achievements, though. It
was all about rebuilding confidence in the team as a whole.
The team took it as a challenge to come back better
than before.
Senior attacker Sam
McGee, who also scored two
goals and had one assist, said
Wednesdays game meant
more than just a win.
We were really pumped for
this game, she said. Especially
coming off of an overtime loss
to BC last weekend.
Using the loss to Boston
College as a learning step
rather than a stumbling block,
the team is focused on start-

ing and finishing strong in the

upcoming games.
We were really trying to
focus on playing a full game
and controlling the tempo,
Bill said. I think overall we
did a really good job of following the game plan.
While Levy said the Tar
Heels improved throughout
the course of the game, she
acknowledged there is still
room for improvement.
We havent felt like we
have put together two solid
halves yet this season, she
said. We are in the process of
growing as the season goes.
With the next two games on
the road, UNC is focusing on
the goals ahead of them rather
than those behind them.

The Daily Tar Heel

Thursday, March 26, 2015

Q&A with Beth Grabowski

This year, Preservation
Chapel Hill extended its annual exhibition invitation to
UNC art professor and assistant department chairwoman
Beth Grabowski, whose exhibition, Minor Miracle, marks
her first exploration into the
world of fiber art.
The exhibition, a departure from her print and photographic work, is centered
on the theme of nostalgia,
presented as an inextinguishable force. The mixed
media collection features
wall hangings depicting the
eyes of hurricanes.
Staff writer Ryan Schocket
talked to Grabowski about
her exhibit, which has
been on display at the
Horace Williams House on
Rosemary Street all month
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday
through Friday and will
close March 30.

The Daily Tar Heel: Tell us a

little about your show.
Beth Grabowski: The show

is called Minor Miracle, and

my ideas surrounding most
of my artwork deal with the
concept of nostalgia.

DTH: Did you draw on any

inspiration for this exhibition?

BG: I think of nostalgia not

as the normal, sentimental
pastime that we normally
attribute to that word, but
more as what Ive been reading from (author) Svetlana
Boym.
She talks about a contemporary nostalgia being more
about a fear of the future rather
than a desire for the past the
idea that we want to reclaim
something that we understand
or know because the future,
at least in the contemporary
space, seems unmanageable.
Those ideas govern what I look
for or look at.
DTH: Can you explain what
else your exhibition features
and entails?
BG: In the main foyer of
the exhibition, there are
two wall hangings with
hurricanes on them and
two smaller prints with the
hurricanes. Ive been talking about things that deny
human intervention or

human borders. For example, a hurricane isnt going

to recognize the border
between U.S. and Mexico
or wars or weather events
or clouds. I deal with things
that deny human borders
that, in a perverse way, unite
us all.

DTH: How does this connect

with your theme of nostalgia?
BG: Theres a trope in science fiction that says how
a threat from the outside
is something that unites
people. I was thinking in
this idealistic way how there
are things like nostalgia that
could serve to unite us if we
just look for them and if we
just acknowledge them.
Some can be destructive, like extreme weather
events that make us have to
band together to help one
another, or some can just
be metaphors, like the sky.
We all live under the sky.
Its these gestures that transcend human difference.
DTH: What inspired your

other pieces that dealt with

books?

WHOS
ALTRIA

BG: I started looking at

old books and looking at the
acknowledgment and dedication pages. It affirmed the
fact that we are not isolated
that we depend on other
people and work with other
people. That led me down a
different path.
DTH: What are some of
the things you did with these
books?

AND WHY
WOULD I WANT TO
WORK THERE?

BG: I was photographing

the blank pages of books.

Those are thinking about the
things that people dont say
to each other. What are the
unsaid things we have?
People often have regrets
when somebody dies and they
havent said the last thing
they wanted to say or confirmed their love or told them
that they were an asshole.
They just didnt finish their
business. There were things
left unsaid.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

FEATURED ONLINE READER COMMENT

Meredith Shutt

rowing up, I found

solace in television. TV
felt easy, like instantaneous access to hyper-beautiful realms. My go-to programs
were Dawsons Creek, The
Real World and anything else
laced with heavy melodrama.
I clung to the plotlines
of Desperate Housewives
and cried over the infeasible
triumphs of One Tree Hill.
When Fox cancelled the pinnacle of my teen drama obsession, The O.C., I painted my
fingernails black (an avantgarde fashion risk in the eighth
grade) and wrote angst-ridden
elegies in honor of Seth Cohen.
Though I casually watched
Friends, I never attached
myself to comedic shows during childhood or adolescence.
Dramas, whether they were
well executed or not, seemed
fierce and important. This, I
thought, was how adults lived.
But reality isnt two halfbrothers fighting for a basketball championship and their
fathers love. People can stop
being polite and start getting
real without living among
strangers in MTVs version of a
glorified frat house.
In response to a fans observation that every story does
not have a positive ending,
Charlamagne Tha God, my personal hero, recently responded:
Thats why I only read Judy
Blume. The merits of Are You
There God? Its Me, Margaret
aside, Charlamagne seems to
value the credibility of positive
outcomes. For every Hamlet,
theres an As You Like It.
My skepticism of comedic
merit stemmed from films like
The Hangover vulgar and
often sexist works. I disregarded an entire genre based
on my few experiences with
unrelatable narratives.
Comedy, though, has an
immense capacity to challenge
cultural norms, allowing lightheartedness to muzzle ferocitys bite. I wasnt completely
ignorant of this notion; I just
never found myself drawn
to the genre. With the rising
popularity and prevalence of
female-led comedies, though,
Ive happily accepted the greatness of what I once considered
a lesser form of escapism.
From Parks and Recreation
(#RestInPower) to The Mindy
Project, consciously feminist
work is gaining immense support through comedic platforms. Netflixs new, Tina Feyproduced comedy Unbreakable
Kimmy Schmidt promotes
female assertiveness and solidarity while maintaining sharp
wit and candor.
The show, which follows the
titular Kimmy Schmidt after her
escape from an underground
cult, exhibits care and humor
without glossing over the
trauma of her 15-year stint in a
bunker. Jon Hamm, as the charismatic cult leader, is ridiculous
while Kimmy is resourceful.
Shes a cheery protagonist with
fortitude, one who embodies
unbreakable will.
Slouching into adulthood,
Ive learned to balance my
Sons of Anarchy with New
Girl. Theres no shame in crying tears of laughter rather
than sorrowful sobs over
the untimely death of a teen
model/actress (Im looking at
you, Mischa Barton). Comedy
seems natural in a world of
constant contradictions, a
place where sadness and great
joys often coincide.

The Daily Tar Heel

EDITORIAL

Change is in the air

Greek lifes future
should involve
more transparency.

espite their reputations as guardians of tradition,

Greek organizations are
not as intractable as one
might assume. In this
sense, they represent
something of a paradox.
According to UNCs
Southern Oral History
Program, Kappa Kappa
Gamma was the only sorority on campus in the 1960s
whose alumni would allow
Jewish women as members.
But now, some fraternities
are beginning to phase out
the time-honored institution of pledging.
All of this is to say that
Greek life, as much as it
seems to enjoy its roots in
the past, has changed and
will undergo more change
change that, especially in
light of recent media attention, seems likely to occur
sooner rather than later.
Among those who
share this view is Aaron
Bachenheimer, director
of Fraternity & Sorority
Life and Community
Involvement at UNC, who
said he believes Greek
life is at a tipping point,
especially around issues
particularly related to
health and safety, alcohol,
sexual assault, hazing, as
well as issues of inclusion
and diversity.
Bachenheimers list
of concerns matches up
elegantly with this boards.
Whats more contentious
are proposed solutions,
ones that could radically
transform the role Greek life
plays on college campuses

and the form it takes. Wed

like to prod the conversation
along as best we can by volunteering our imagining of
a more inclusive and transparent future for Greek life.
We hope for a practical acknowledgement that
some of the same structures that make Greek life
so attractive lifelong
friendships, a sense of
shared history and exciting
social events also carry
substantial potential for
abuse insofar as they tend
to encourage members to
shield one another from the
consequences of wrongdoing. Such was the case at
UNCs chapter of Delta
Delta Delta, where women
were encouraged not to
bring up allegations of
sexual assault out of fear for
the chapters reputation.
Solutions, therefore,
must focus on breaking
down that norm in particular and consistently
holding those guilty of
abuse accountable.
This means applying
sanctions, where they are
determined to be needed,
swiftly, seriously and transparently. In the case of
UNCs chapter of Chi Phi,
a May 2014 referral to the
Standards Review Board
had not been fulfilled by
the early weeks of this
semester. This can hardly
be called fair and speedy
justice for the chapter and
its members, nor is it reassuring for those who want
to believe the Greek system
can effectively police itself.
We also look forward
to swift action to correct
power imbalances, such as
those inherent in rules that
keep sororities from serving alcohol. Bachenheimer,

who said he fully acknowledges the existence of such

an imbalance, asked that
we consider making fraternities more like sororities
rather than just vice versa.
Wed question the feasibility of asking fraternities
to give up their alcoholserving privileges, but we
dont care, frankly, as long
as this and other imbalances are quickly corrected.
More broadly speaking,
we hope the future of Greek
life is characterized by proactive approaches to the
problems of the day before
rather than after they
become media sensations.
Greek issues are student
issues, but the nature of
Greek organizations tends
to keep non-Greek student
populations from understanding or engaging with
discussions in which they
all have a stake.
To be sure, the costs
of greater inclusivity and
transparency could include
rethinking the values that
define Greek organizations
and yielding some control
over membership. This is
no small sacrifice. But we
believe that as long as Greek
societies continue to exist,
the sanctity of their secrecy
must take a back seat to
ensuring they do no harm to
their campus communities.
This is not about being
pro-Greek or anti-Greek.
It is about ensuring that
campus institutions or
institutions anywhere,
for that matter are not
complicit in assault, racism, sexism or otherwise
exclusionary behavior.
All students and alumni,
Greek or otherwise, have
an interest in working
toward this future.

UNC wont let seniors leave

Carmichael Classic

Board of Wusstees

Welcome back, PJ

Shout out to the womens

basketball team for its
buzzer-beating
victory against
Ohio State on
Monday night
in Carmichael
Arena. Were hoping that
electric atmosphere of a
home NCAA game will
grow the teams fan base
and encourage folks to consider hosting a mens game
at Carmichael one day.

The Board of Trustees failed

to make a decision about
the renaming of
Saunders Hall
on Wednesday, even after
some awesome
speeches from students.
Our theory is that whatever
decision the BOT makes will
happen this summer when
no ones on campus and
senior activists have left.
Prove us wrong, please.

Alert Carolina! PJ Hairston is

back on Twitter as of a week
ago. His tweets
so far contain
nearly as many
emojis as letters,
which is probably for the best. But were
actually looking forward to
the privilege of enjoying
his social media hijinks now
that were no longer sharing
a campus with him. Watch
out, Crown Town.

TO THE EDITOR:
Our generation is facing
problems far more extreme
than any of those faced by
previous ones and that is
no exaggeration.
Our technologies have
created ticking time bombs
like climate change, antimicrobial resistance and mass
extinction of species, and
it has helped sustain other
problems like overpopulation. The political imperative of the 21st century is
quite literally to save the
world and do it now.
But, despite the clear
insanity of these issues,
most people cannot be
motivated to do anything
about them.
And why would they,
when there are unprecedented levels of depression
and suicide, when there is
an underlying anxiety pulsing in and around the cities
we walk through every day?
Why would we fight when
there seems to be little
worth fighting for?
If you want to explore
these and other problems,
and their root cause, join
the editorial staff of UNCs
conservation magazine, The
Wildernist (www.thewildernist.org), for a reading
group next Monday at 7:00
in the UL (room 221).
The text for discussion
will be Industrial Society

Free speech defense

of racism is a mirage
Editors Note: The author of
this letter, Ishmael Bishop,
is also a columnist for The
Daily Tar Heel.
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to David
Wynnes letter, let it be clear
that discussing the First
Amendment and demanding what The Daily Tar Heel
should do is a distraction.
Conflating these examples with how Vietnam
dissenters were censored,
silenced or imprisoned is
not only an inappropriate,
misinformed parallel, but
also a distraction.
White people who defend
the actions of these boys in a
roundabout way of defending the first amendment are
unapologetically reiterating
that this country can be racist and supportive of white
supremacy and not be held
responsible.
It must be strange to
hold white people responsible for their actions. Lets
not forget about the many
instances of Black folk,
men, women and children
who have been killed,
imprisoned or brutalized
without receiving their due
process or retribution.
To make this more relevant, lets not forget about
how a young man with a

valid ID was brutalized

by Alcohol and Beverage
Control agents on the
University of Virginias
campus.
Letters, like Wynnes
comments made by the
Carolina Review, and the
chant by the now disbanded
chapter of Sigma Alpha
Epsilon are indicative of a
much larger and endemic
type of racism in this country, one that disregards and
invalidates the feelings of
people of color and legally
upholds racist acts.
Its not enough to simply
condemn what happened
or what was said; you must
also take action. Its less a
matter of how can we justify their whiteness and more
a matter of how can we can
inform whiteness.

Even cage-free eggs

arent good for you
TO THE EDITOR:
I was happy to read in
the March 20th issue of The
Daily Tar Heel about moving to cage-free eggs. While
I applaud this, I wanted to
add a reminder that eggs
are neither nutritionally
required (we synthesize all
the cholesterol that we need)
nor advisable in todays environment of obesity and high
cholesterol diets.
There are well-documented hazards to the
eating of eggs. Cagefree or not, eggs are not
cruelty-free choices, based
on farming practices that
include routine, painful
procedures done without anesthesia, such as
debeaking and smothering or otherwise killing of
unwanted male chicks.
Based on peer-reviewed
evidence and long-term
health outcomes, The
Physicians Committee,
for which I teach Food for
Life classes, recommends
the power plate of fruits,
grains, legumes and vegetables (pcrm.org/health/
diets/pplate/power-plate),
a recommendation not very
different from government
guidelines. According to
polls by the Vegetarian
Resource Group and others,
more Americans are seeking healthful whole-food,
plant-based choices for
various reasons, including
health, avoiding serious illness later in life, longevity,
environmental stewardship
and concern for animals.
I would encourage dining services to consider
offering healthful, plantbased choices at every
meal. I invite interested
folks to look into many of
the local vegan events that
are here in the Triangle,
such as hosted by Triangle
Vegetarian Society, Triangle
Meatless Mondays, Triangle
Vegfest and others. I
encourage people to take
my Food for Life classes
(fflclasses.org) and would
be happy to work with UNC
to create custom offerings
for the community.
