Marvin Austin celebrates following North Carolina’s 33-24 victory against Miami in Kenan Stadium. It was a landmark win for the program, which has been budgeted up to $132 million by
University donors. UNC is trying to keep up with the elite football programs in the nation, but it and the ACC are still lagging behind schools in the Big 12, Big 10 and the SEC.
ARMS RACE
UNC spends to build up football franchise
By Powell Latimer
senior writer
Marvin Austin writhed in the thrill of
victory as he stomped off the field at Kenan
Stadium, convulsing with the emotion of
North Carolina’s 33-24 win against Miami
last November.
His dreadlocks snapped at the air, flick-
ing drops of sweat toward the crowd pound-
ing at the tunnel into the locker rooms. Spit
flew as he howled at the bright lights, the
TxV cameras, the 58,000 fans.
“We’re The U! F--k them! We’re The
U!”
Austin invoked the popular moniker of
the Miami football program that dominat-
ed college football in the 1980s and 1990s.
The program, despite its rampant scandal,
personified swagger.
The U represented winning, unparalleled
talent and NFL draft picks. That legacy —
without the scandal — is one which Austin,
UNC and coach Butch Davis want to recre-
ate in Chapel Hill.

Task force targets sustainability Service trips to
BY Will Doran
Staff writer
With the creation of a new sustain-
ability group, UNC is taking another
step toward its goal of carbon neutrality
by 2050.
The Energy Task Force, announced
Thursday at the Board of Trustees meet-
ing, will look at both the state of campus
sustainability and, more specifically, at
the coal-burning cogeneration plant on
Cameron Avenue.
The task force’s announcement fol-
lowed a year of lobbying by the campus
Sierra Club, which had been pressuring
the University to wean itself from coal use
The new energy task force will examine sustainability on campus, including the
effects of the University’s coal-burning cogeneration plant on Cameron Avenue.

department, that legacy is important more
for what it could bring: lucrative TV con-
tracts, packed stadiums, potential donors
and bigwigs in luxury boxes. In short, mil-
lions of dollars in revenue.
But UNC’s entrance into the arms race of
college football could also bring with it the
sting of a fruitless investment as the foot-
ball powerhouses continue to rack up both
wins and dollars.
The beginning
Coveting the huge profit margins of
the major football conferences, the ACC
entered into this race with a three-team
expansion in 2003 – bringing in perennial
football heavyweights Miami, Virginia Tech
and Boston College.
The shift toward football left North
Carolina with the option to sink millions
into creating an elite football program and
hope for a hefty payday in the future, or

through the Coal-Free UNC Campaign.
Two members of the task force, chem-
istry professor Royce Murray and Mary
Cooper, co-chairwoman of student gov-
ernment’s environmental affairs commit-
tee, said they were unsure about group’s
specific goals and duties because it won’t
meet for at least another week.
The announcement also came four
days before a speech by James Hansen,
an internationally recognized climate
change expert.

“the scientist with the most powerful

action to preserve our planet’s environ-

ACC tries to catch up in sports revenue
The ACC has lagged behind the SEC and the Big 12 in generating revenue from sports, including football.
However, the ACC’s total revenue jumped dramatically, from about $595 million to more than $720 million.

ment,” will deliver a free speech at 7 p.m.
today in Memorial Hall.
Coal will most likely be a large part of
Hansen’s speech, said Laura Stevens, a
Sierra Club organizer, because it has been
such a prominent topic of debate both on-
campus and worldwide.
Switching to a partial coal substitute at
the cogeneration facility is one of 15 car-
bon reduction strategies included in the
University’s 2009 Climate Action Plan.
It is also one of only two strategies that
will cost the University money rather than
cutting costs, according to the plan.
Switching to a 20 percent coal sub-
stitute would cost UNC about $30 per
metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent
saved. In contrast, making buildings more
energy efficient would save the University
about $100 per metric ton. Simple solu-
tions like switching to entirely double-sid-
ed printing or reducing air travel in favor
of teleconferencing would save more than
$200 per metric ton.
But Stevens said the monetary costs of
coal are a non-issue considering the envi-
ronmental threats posed by coal.
“Energy efficiency isn’t enough to reach
carbon neutrality,” she said. “I would be
hard-pressed to see a way UNC could reach
carbon neutrality without addressing coal.”
Despite the Sierra Club’s concerns,
UNC is a national leader with regards to
sustainability. The University received 96
of 99 possible Green Rating points from
the Princeton Review last year — the

Haiti on hold
BY Alexa burrell
staff writer
Junior Veronica Selzler had been planning a ser-
vice trip to Haiti since last semester.
Selzler went to the small nation on service trips in
2007 and 2008, and was hoping to go again during
spring break. She had been planning the trip with
12 other students through the Holy Trinity Lutheran
Church and the Lutheran Campus Ministry.
“We were planning on going to do service, learn
about the country and be in a community with the
groups we were visiting,” Selzler said.
But when the situation deteriorated after the Jan.
12 earthquake, Selzler’s group had to nix the trip.
And the University is now advising the same of all
officially recognized organizations that might have
planned relief efforts for spring break.
The University’s travel policy forbids student orga-
nizations recognized by UNC to travel to any coun-
try to which the U.S. State Department has issued
“a travel warning that forbids, restricts, or otherwise
urges U.S. citizens to defer traveling to a certain

He said he fell in love with the

“I’ve learned so much here. I
want to recycle all these talents and
put them back into the University,”
Strompolos said.
But the transfer student is run-
ning on a relatively simple plat-
form that consists of only five

to his opponents, who have more
traditional platforms that address a
wide variety of issues on campus.
Strompolos’ platform stresses
the need for a technological revolu-
tion that would encourage broader
use of Google applications — such
as Gmail and Google Calendar —
by the student body.
He also wants to streamline the
professor-rating system to allow
students to easily access course
and professor reviews during the
registration period.
Strompolos said he believes the
benefits that would come from
these changes would greatly out-
weigh logistical concerns regarding
their feasibility and cost.
“It’s going to be uncomfortable

Chason
Money is being
raised in memory
BY C. Ryan Barber
Assistant University Editor
In her UNC application essay,
Lillian Chason wrote that she
wanted to teach her peers about
loss.
After 10 weeks of knowing
Chason, her friends and professors
learned that lesson through a story
more tragic than her progressive
loss of eyesight.
A crowd of about 75 students,
professors and family gathered in
Gerrard Hall on Saturday to share
memories, photographs and the
college essay of Chason, who died
Dec. 16 at UNC Hospitals from
complications doctors suspect to
have originated with H1N1.
For many, the memorial provid-
ed a forum to express their sorrow
for Chason’s death, which occurred
after much of the student body had
returned home for winter break.
“Several weeks passed before
we were together,” said freshman
Zealan Hoover, a close friend of
Chason’s, in an interview. “It was
nice to come together as a group
for the first time since she passed
away. It provided closure, but as
her dad said, we didn’t want to
close her out. For all of us, she will
forever be a part of this school.”
Along with reading prayers,
passages and a poem written by
Chason’s mother, Cate Chason,
friends shared their most poignant
memories of Chason’s kindness and
passion for life.
Mark Perry, a dramatic art pro-
fessor and author of the play “A
New Dress for Mona,” in which
Chason was to play the lead role,
recounted Chason’s unflagging
resolve to overcome her deteriorat-
ing eyesight while auditioning.

subject, she just wouldn’t use it as
an excuse for anything,” he said in

Mystery Meat walked across stage Friday to
claim his title as Air Guitar Champion.
Meat, senior Brady McReynolds when not

3rd Annual Air Guitar Championship hosted
by the Carolina Union Activities Board.
“With a score of 34.1, in first place is
Mystery Meat,” said host Dan Crane, whose
stage name is Bjorn Turoque.
Contestants were ranked by three judges
on a scale of 4.0 to 6.0, and had two rounds
of competition.

said Anish Thakkar, a senior who performed
as Skeeter Valentine, before the event. “This
has nothing to do with winning or losing; this
is my salute. It’s bigger than air guitar.”

“I got my hair straightened, I got my make-

under the alias Oscar De La Satan.
Contestants used a variety of gimmicks to
supplement their onstage personas.
Performer Patient 20314002 spent his time
before the show scaring audience members by
running up to them wearing a straight jacket
and holding a plastic fork in his mouth.

‘Mixtape’ works well with intimate crowd

BY Shelby Marshall
staff writer
Seated on the stage of Memorial
Hall instead of their traditional
spot in the seats, audience mem-
bers had a chance to see an experi-
mental approach to the stage.
Set up with three projection
screens, a DJ booth and a drum
set, Marc Bamuthi Joseph along
with turntablist DJ Excess and
percussionist/ beat boxer Tommy
Shepherd created a unique multi-
media experience with “the break/s:
a mixtape for stage.”
Set up in a smaller space, audi-
ence members felt a personal con-
nection with Joseph, as if he was
speaking directly to them. In the
larger setting of a full Memorial
Hall the performance would not
have had the same intimacy.
Combining dance, monologue,
rap and video, Joseph gave a perfor-
mance of personal narrative while
addressing matters such as hip-hop
culture and race perception.
His recollection of worldwide
experiences evaluated hip-hop as a
global phenomenon, from different
interpretations of hip-hop around
the world to the significance it
holds for different cultures.
Using humor and sincerity,
Joseph told stories about clubs in
Japan, the marketplace in Senegal
and dance studios in Wisconsin.
The authenticity of his experi-
ences, personal struggles and inter-
nal doubts revealed and evoked
emotions of insecurity, elation,
heartbreak and discomfort.
In one story, Joseph reenacted a
dream in which Prince explained
the origins of the Mona Lisa.
With sudden changes in move-
ment, lighting, tone of voice and
volume of the music, Joseph kept
the audience captivated.
Combining music and lighting
effects, Joseph used his settings to
emphasize his emotions, helping
the audience relate to him.
Sometimes Joseph would speak
softly in a spotlight, forcing the
audience to listen intently. At
other times, his voice boomed as
the music blared and colorful light
bathed the stage and audience.
For the video segments, indi-
viduals of varying races and ages
answered questions such as, “How
do you feel about women and hip-
hop?” and “If you could ask Jay-Z
one question, what would it be?”
At times, all the components of
the performance worked together.
Light, music, sound, dance and rap
all fit seamlessly. But at other times,

everything seemed confused, the
stories were nonsensical and the
performance seemed obscure.
The confusion was not a detrac-
tion from the show, as it illustrated
Joseph’s own confusion in certain
situations.
Throughout it all, Joseph
instilled in the audience the idea
that an individual’s identity is com-
posed of many elements and expe-
riences. The kind of experiences he

Hillsborough could get

Amtrak railroad station
Stimulus money sought to help town
By Chad Royal
staff writer
The town of Hillsborough is
expected to find out by the end of
this week whether it will receive
state funding for a new railway
station.
The town asked the state for
about $5.5 million for a train
stop along the Amtrak railway,
which travels through Durham,
Greensboro and Charlotte.
Amtrak trains go through
Hillsborough but do not stop there.
North Carolina received $545
million Thursday in federal stimu-
lus money as a part of the Southeast
High Speed Rail Corridor plan.
President Barack Obama distribut-
ed $8 billion in grants to 13 major
rail corridors.
Hillsborough’s portion of the
money would be used to improve
existing tracks as well as build more
tracks and add trains, said Elizabeth
Read, director of the Alliance for
Historic Hillsborough.
A decision about whether to
fund the project should be made
by the end of this week, said Allan
Paul, director of operations and
facilities at the N.C. Department
of Transportation, rail division.
The town assembled a Rail
Station Task Force in 2008 to
make suggestions for possible rail-
way stop locations. Members have
set their eyes on a town-owned,
20-acre piece of property near
Churton Street.
The parcel would be a good
place because it is big enough and
the train tracks that run through
are straight, said task force mem-
ber Paul Guthrie. It is not ideal to
build a station on a curve, he said.
The changes would make it eas-
ier and more efficient for travelers
and residents commuting to work.
Amtrak also attracts students who
travel home to Charlotte via train.
“By building additional tracks,
all the current Amtrak trains will
go faster,” Read said. “It will both
bring additional travelers here, as
well as attract more people to live
here.”
Travelers will save time by not
having to go to the train station in
Durham, Read said. With the pro-
posed changes, travelers could go
from Hillsborough to Charlotte in
about two hours and fifteen min-
utes. As things are now, a train ride
from Durham to Charlotte takes
about three hours.
L a u r i e Pa o l i c e l l i , e x e c u -
tive director of the Chapel Hill/
Orange County Visitors Bureau,
said that many of the tourists and
day-trippers from the Triad region
are University alumni traveling to
sporting events.
The proposed stop would have
them get off in Hillsborough,
increasing tourism in the area.
Guthrie also expected the popu-
lation of Hillsborough will double
in the next 20 years, increasing
the need to improve transporta-
tion. According to the U.S. Census
Bureau, Hillsborough population
in 2008 was 5,653.
If the funding is awarded, the
Department of Transportation would
enter into a municipal agreement
with the town of Hillsborough.

Bolin Creek bike path faces opposition
BY Sam Rinderman
staff writer
Carrboro is considering adding
bike paths to run by local creeks,
but some residents worry it will
negatively affect the ecosystem.
About 180 Carrboro and Chapel
Hill residents have signed a petition
by a new group, Save Bolin Creek, a
grassroots organization that opposes
a paved bike path, or greenway, that
would run along the creek.
Save Bolin Creek
Rob Crook, the spokesman for
Save Bolin Creek, said the group is
not opposed to the entire plan, just
the parts that they believe will have
a negative impact on the creek.
He recognizes one portion of
the plan, a path from Estes Drive
Extension to Seawell School Road,
that could use a greenway path.
But when it comes to the proposed
path near Bolin Creek, Crook said

requites heavy digging along the
creek, would have a negative impact
on the Jordan Lake watershed.
“When you construct concrete,
you have to dig down into the earth,
cut tree roots, and the probability
of tree mortality increases, which
would decrease the shade over the
water,” Crook said.
Without shade, the water tem-
perature could increase, in turn
killing macroinvertebrates neces-
sary for a healthy watershed and
eventually lead to making Jordan
Lake water undrinkable, he said.
History of the greenways
Carrboro has considered green-
way construction in the area since
the mid-1990s, said Jeff Brubaker,
the town transportation planner. But
it wasn’t until 2007 that the town
formed an advisory board called the
Carrboro Greenways Commission.
The commission focuses mainly
on the construction of the Bolin
which it will be reviewed.
But the earthquake’s severity is
what compelled groups to want to
continue their planned trips.
“First, the reaction after the
earthquake was everyone wanted
to go even more. We were more
excited and more ready to help,”
Selzler said. “There is so much
more that needs to be done, but
Haiti doesn’t have the resources
to take care of itself, much less a
group like us.”
Selzler’s group had planned on
staying at either a hotel or a guest
house, both of which they heard were
uninhabitable after the earthquake.

and Morgan Creek greenways.
Brubaker said Bolin Creek’s wild-
life would be mildly affected since
there is a dirt trail at the potential
greenway construction site.
In search of a construction plan,
Carrboro hired Greenways Inc., a
greenway consulting firm. The firm
released plans in December.
The consultants recommended a
path to run along Bolin Creek for a
number of reasons. One included
its access to Orange Water and
Sewer Authority pipes.
That’s when the Save Bolin
Creek group formed.
Carrboro’s next move
The Carrboro Board of Aldermen
will not take action on building
greenways until they receive com-
munity feedback, Brubaker said.
Residents can comment at pub-
lic hearings in the spring, he said.
Morgan Martin, resident of
Hanna Street near Bolin Creek,
“We received that information
and decided it wouldn’t be intel-
ligent or safe for us to go,” Selzler
said. “We would be more of a bur-
den because they don’t have the
means to support us.”
Selzler’s group understood the
realities of trying to get to Haiti
before they learned about UNC’s
policies prohibiting group travel.
“If you don’t have a specialized
skill that they need, just don’t come
right now,” said Mary Sechriest,
associate University counsel. “There
will be time in the future when they
will need less-specialized help.”

passed by.
North Carolina chose the for-
mer.
To generate revenue, though, the
team first had to generate wins.
It started with hiring Davis,
the coach who built Miami’s 2001
national championship team. He
replaced John Bunting, who strug-
gled in his final few seasons leading
the Tar Heels.
“When the program is strug-
gling, it’s hard to get people excited
about buying some premium seat-
ing or giving to renovations,” ath-
letic director Dick Baddour said.
“But when we hired Butch, it was
a strong statement.”
Davis’ hiring generated excite-
ment, but he came at a price.
Davis’ contract and incentives are
worth $2 million annually, and he’s
signed through 2014.
His resume and early success
have jump-started the cycle the
athletic department hopes will
carry it to financial success.
After highly regarded recruiting
classes and 16 wins in the last two
years, donors opened their wallets
to pay for several facility improve-
ments.
First to be announced was the
$25 million renovation of Kenan
Stadium, then a $10 million sports
medicine facility opening in 2010.
And finally, the New Kenan
project adds three levels of luxury
seating in the east end zone and a
new student-athlete center. The
project will cost an estimated $70
million to $85 million.
The combined investment is up
to $132 million, coming mostly
from private gifts.
Despite the building projects,
overall profits have been slow
to arrive for both UNC and the
ACC.
Since 2003, the first year after
expansion, the ACC’s football rev-
enue has grown from $180 million
to $258 million last year. But in
truth, the conference fell further
behind the leaders.
The SEC reeled in $537 million
in football revenue, and the Big 12
reported $398 million.
Baddour said he’s reserving
judgment on the expansion until
the new television contract nego-
tiations in 2011.
“I think that the major impact
of (expansion) is not yet known,”
Baddour said. “And that will be

Baddour said. “What’s happen-

Still, UNC teeters between the
haves and the have-nots in colle-

Dual enrollment classes

Ask The Expert

Could your lack of

attention be ADHD?
BY Will DORAN
Staff writer
With students getting back into
the swing of classes after winter
break, many might have troubles
focusing on their work.
They’ll surf the Web in class and
stare out windows, and many might
try to attribute their lack of atten-
tion to afflictions such as Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
But Mike Willoughby of the
Frank Porter Graham Child
Development Institute says stu-
dents claiming this probably aren’t
afflicted with the disorder, since
many students don’t have its full
symptoms.
Most people aren’t diagnosed
with ADHD, and those who are
tend to outgrow it by the time they
reach college.
While students can’t suddenly
develop ADHD, they can be beset
with other disorders that make
them inattentive.
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a mental affliction found
in 3 percent to 5 percent of children,
according to the National Institute
of Mental Health. Symptoms differ
in children and adults.
Children with ADHD have diffi-
culty paying attention and concen-
trating, and often have a hard time
completing tasks.
Adults with ADHD have differ-
ent symptoms from children. They
might exhibit chronic lateness,
anxiety, boredom, mood changes
and difficulty controlling anger.

Harris Teeter plans still contentious STUDENT TELEVISION PREMIERE NIGHT!

Though plans for a new Harris

F
or years, the infamous
brain drain worldwide has
made the United States the
recipient of many of the world’s
brightest minds. Now that we
have some incentive, let’s return
the favor.
The economic recession left
too much fresh potential to fade
last year and will surely demon-
strate equal prowess in May.
So as we scramble this semes-
ter to find an answer to the
looming question, “What are
you doing after you graduate?”
— some more frantically than
others — let’s open our search to
plans that put our well-earned
diplomas to use instead of letting
our overly eager selves go stale —
even if they’re seemingly terrify-
ing plans.
For those who have had a fixed
idea of a post-graduation job
since the first teary day of kinder-
garten: Trash your expectations.
For those considering drifting
on to grad school only because
“Why not? There aren’t any jobs”:
Why not consider holding off the
tuition expense to do something
unexpected?
For those surrendering to jobs
that spark no passion in you:
Take a risk.
And for those of you who
genuinely want to stay close and
tough it out in a job you’re proba-
bly overqualified for: More power
to you. After all, that job will help
put our economy back into gear.
But for the rest of us, we can
take this time to contribute our
skills to society in any way we
want. And because the economy
crumbled most of our hopes
of making bank (or even piggy
bank) right after graduation, the
trade-off is far less. We can help
domestically, or we can help the
millions across the globe who
have been left in the wake of
the brain drain for years while
we have received many of their
potential leaders.
If we consider ourselves citi-
zens of the world and not only
of the community in which we
live, if we stop pitying ourselves
as victims of a crash in the sys-
tem and instead embrace a valid
excuse to do something unex-
pected, we can agree: Instead of
crashing on Mom’s couch and
grudgingly letting our ambition
dwindle, we should take a risk to
do something great. It won’t save
the world. But it would better at
least a handful of lives — includ-
ing your own, I’d bet — and put
your potential into motion.
If every unemployed col-
lege graduate in the country
— about two million, according
to the National Association of
Colleges and Employers — chose
one community in need, be it
domestic or international, and
put his or her education to use
there — to engineer sanitary
toilets, teach computer skills or
help non-governmental organiza-
tions operate more efficiently, for
example — the world could come
together a bit.
And although this idea may
sound like an economist’s worst
nightmare when it comes to fix-
ing our own economy, our nation
would still be in better overall
condition than most of the
world’s. It might even vacate jobs
for the roughly 10 percent of the
country that is jobless.
Not sold on selflessness (if such
a thing exists)? I have a feeling
that taking a risk to try something
meaningful is a far more market-
able experience than learning to
change the channels with your
pinky toe because your fingers are
full of orange Cheeto ashes.
Rarely is there a team of minds
as strong and well-educated with
an excuse as compelling as ours
to do something extraordinary.
Let’s make moves.

This is an ambitious plan. To

just have to modify how it gen-
erates energy, but also how it
uses it. This project recognizes
this.

partnership with the HVAC
department estimate that this
measure’s savings will result in
$4.8 million and a 14 percent
decrease in energy consump-

This is a solid step along the

come up with a solution.
One major aspect of the plan
is the $20 FIX program. It will
allow for qualified households
to adopt animals and have them
spayed or neutered for a more
affordable price. And it will help
to motivate owners to get their
animals sterilized. This program
should garner the support of
everyone.
Some breeders might not sup-
port the county’s plan because
part of it is being subsidized by
raising the registration fees that
reproductive animal owners pay.
But that’s a small price for
helping to control the pet popu-
lation and stopping the needless
suffering of homeless animals.
While purebred animals have
their own place, it is important
to point out that the cost of one
could easily save the lives of sev-
eral homeless animals.
The high percentage of ani-
mals dying should alert all ani-
mal lovers to the changes needed.
These domestic animals
deserve a chance. Without this
due respect, we become animals
ourselves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
From former speakers:
Stipends aren’t worth it
TO THE EDITOR:
It appears, once again, there is
a movement afoot to start paying
Student Congress leaders month-
ly stipends. As former speakers
of Student Congress, maybe our
perspective can inform the cur-
rent debate.
In the not-too-distant past,
Student Congress leaders were
paid stipends, but they were ulti-
mately banned during the 2004-
05 school year on the premise
that being a member of Student
Congress is an act of service, not
a way to line your pockets.
At the same time Student
Congress stipends were banned,
there was an attempt to put the
question of all student govern-
ment stipends to a vote of the
student body, but this measure
failed when it met fierce resis-
tance from student leaders who
received stipends and their
friends in Congress.
It is telling that year after year,
the same forces in student gov-
ernment that push student fee
hikes on students are the same
forces that protect their own
compensation.
The age-old argument in
favor of stipends is that student
government leaders are so busy
with their official duties that they
have no time to work. However,
the individual stipends are barely
enough to cover beer, pizza and
bar tabs at Top of the Hill — a
student government favorite. In
truth, whether or not they get
stipends, those in student govern-
ment who need to work still do.
Stipends are a waste of stu-
dent resources. They do little for
the individual receiving them and
instead could be put to great use
around campus. Stipends amount
to thousands of dollars that ought
to be going to clubs and events.
Sure, a little extra cash would
have been nice for us. None of us
is wealthy. But we believed ser-
vice in student government was a
matter of pride and dedication to
making campus a better place.
We are living proof that com-
pensation is not a prerequisite
for dedicated service in Student
Congress.

TO THE EDITOR:
In response to Brandon
Blalock’s letter (“Peoples’ politi-

Brandon asks the wrong question
with, “How likely are those values
to change due to advertising?”
I agree that it’s unlikely that
a company could run an ad that
would change someone’s “core
beliefs and values.” But compa-
nies with advertising budgets
that far surpass those of any
political campaign can present
biased messages against a candi-

ads cannot be denied, as cam-
paigns already use them to per-
suade less politically inclined
voters. Allowing companies to
run political ads will only further
facilitate candidates’ focusing on
the wishes of big corporations at
the expense of creating policy
that will actually benefit indi-
vidual citizens.
A second flaw in Brandon’s
argument is that he cannot
assume that people actually vote
based on their beliefs. If this were
true, then every voter could boast
fact-based knowledge of every
candidate, when in reality, most
water cooler political discussions
consist of people who are going
to blindly pull the straight-ticket
lever, spitting out phrases from
the latest TV ads.

Pet overpopulation is a
problem we need to solve
TO THE EDITOR:
On behalf of the members
of Helping Paws of the Campus
Y, we would like to thank Sarah
Glen for her coverage on the
advancement of spay/neuter
advocacy due to Orange County
Animal Services and their efforts
(“Orange Country struggles with
pet overpopulation,” Jan. 28).
However, we would like to clar-
ify some misconceptions about
pet overpopulation that Charles
Adams’s quote in the article pin-
pointed.
According to the ASPCA and
other top animal welfare orga-
nizations, animal shelters in the
United States euthanize between
3 and 4 million pets each year.
Many of these animals would
make great pets, but due to lack
of people adopting from shelters
and an excess of irresponsible
breeders, they are killed. In the
1970s, shelters in the United
States euthanized between 12 and
20 million pets each year. This
dramatic decrease in unneces-
sary deaths is due almost entirely
to the promotion of spaying and
neutering by veterinarians and
animal welfare workers.
While spaying and neutering
save lives by decreasing pet over-
population, they also have many
substantial health benefits that
can lengthen the lives of pets.
Spaying female pets dramatically
decreases their chances of devel-

Sportsbriefs
Men’s Lacrosse
The North Carolina men’s lacrosse
team scrimmaged and tied the Bucknell
Bisons 8-8 Friday night in a blanket of
snow flurries.
The scrimmage was the first game
experience of the year for the Tar Heels,
and UNC coach Joe Breschi was glad
they got it.
“We accomplished what we wanted
to do,” Breschi said.
The Tar Heels returned three of their
top four goal-scorers from last season
and gained some valuable experience
against a tough opponent.
“We practiced for two hours Friday
morning,” Breschi said. “So for us to
turn around and play Friday night was
good.”
Men’s Tennis
The No. 28 North Carolina men’s
tennis team defeated No. 20 Miami
4-2 at the ITA Kickoff Sunday morn-
ing to improve to 3-0 for the season.
The Tar Heels’ first and second dou-
bles pairings both recorded victories.
Senior Clay Donato, UNC’s top
singles player, set the tone for UNC
by defeating Miami’s Carl Sundberg
6-2, 6-2.
Brennan Boyajian took the No. 4
singles match against Miami’s Keith
Crowley, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1.
But senior Andrew Crone gained
the all-important fourth point against
Miami’s David Simon in the No. 6 sin-
gles match that secured the victory.
Crone won that match 6-2, 6-4.
Women’s Tennis
The No. 17 Tar Heels women’s
tennis team dominated both doubles
and singles against No. 33 Boise
State 7-0 in the opening round of the
ITA Kickoff improving to a 4-0 record.
But UNC’s biggest competition
came in the following round against
No. 6 Notre Dame.
North Carolina rallied back in the
doubles matches to gain the impor-
tant first point of the match.
Notre Dame quickly retaliated and
won the first singles match to tie the
match at 1-1.
But senior Sanaz Marand won
her match and led the way for UNC
to win four of the final five singles
matches to down the Irish 5-2.

Uva.’s Sylven Landesberg beat the Tar Heel defense on several occasions Sunday night, scoring a game-high
29 points. The sophomore went 11-for-18 and missed only one free throw in the dominating performance.

“If you’re going to take 18 shots
and make over half of them, you’re
doing a great job,” point guard
Larry Drew II said. “He definitely
led his team out there tonight.”
The Tar Heels tried to keep the
ball out of Landesberg’s hands
early, as Graves was very aggressive
in denying the perimeter pass.
Landesberg had the counter,
however, beating Graves to the

Landesberg devastated UNC
with layups. For the game he shot
3-for-9 on jump shots, but he
was 8-for-9 on layups. The most
impressive came against Henson,
when Landesberg used the rim to
shield off Henson’s long arms and
still convert the reverse layup.

On the defensive side, Virginia
muscled UNC around with physi-
cal play and a constant motion
offense. The motion offense of first-
year UVa. coach Tony Bennett pro-
duced plenty of easy buckets, and
the Cavaliers shot 52 percent for
the game.
“This was probably the best
we’ve moved the ball,” Bennett
said. “We cut with purpose.”
UNC, on the other hand, strug-
gled to get any traction offensively.
The Tar Heels couldn’t get the ball
into primary scorers Davis and
Thompson, who scored four and
seven points, respectively.
“We get it inside, and we had
a difficult time scoring,” Williams
said.
Instead, North Carolina
launched 22 three-point shots,
connecting on nine of them. Larry
Drew II and Will Graves led UNC
with 15 points apiece.

Contracts small for women

Pros balance extra job in the o≠season
BY Grant Fitzgerald
Staff Writer
Money, expensive cars and pricey
mansions have become synonymous
with professional athletes.
But as a couple of North Carolina
women’s soccer players are about to find
out, not all professional athletes lead a
life of luxury.
When senior goalkeeper Ashlyn
Ha r r i s a n d d e f e n d e r W h i t n e y
Engen were selected in the Women’s
Professional Soccer draft in January,
their plans after college changed.
Engen was selected with the fourth

St. Louis Athletica selected UNC goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris in the second round of the WPS the 19th pick when St. Louis Athletica
draft. Harris will likely take a second job due to the low salaries in the professional league. selected her.
They were among seven Tar Heels
selected.
Both opted to drop out of their final
semester at UNC to prepare for their
first season in the WPS.
The two plan to finish their degrees
in the offseason, but soccer is their pri-
ority now.
“It’s going to be a big change, and I
think change is good,” Harris said. “I am
ready to move on with my life and kind
of start a new journey.”
Part of the new journey means accept-
ing salaries well below their male coun-
terparts. Because the WPS is an upstart
league with a small fan base, it is only
able to pay its players low salaries.
“The salaries in the league, I think,
average $35,000, and they are seven-
month contracts, so this is not a glam-
orous profession,” UNC coach Anson
Dorrance said.
The league’s financial struggles were
further magnified when one of its teams,
the Los Angeles Sol, folded Jan. 28.
Second jobs are often necessities for
athletes in the league who wish to con-
tinue playing soccer at the professional
level. WPS contracts last only seven
months, so the players have five months
of time to kill in the offseason.
But Harris is not fretting over the
finances. Being able to play soccer as a
job is worth the undersized salary.
“We’ll run camps in our own name
and get money from that,” said Harris,
who reports to the Athletica’s training
camp in March. “There are other ways
of making money.”
