ATLANTA There was no

room for error for North Carolina
quarterback Marquise Williams
when he took the field late in the
second quarter against Georgia
Tech on Saturday.

After the fifth-year senior was

benched one week ago following a
poor performance against Delaware,
Williams needed to provide a spark
for the Tar Heels, who trailed 21-0
when they started their third drive
of the game with less than 4:34 left
in the first half.
So what did he do when his team
needed him the most? It was simple.
Williams did everything.
He took a lot of criticism last
week. Everyone questioned him,
Coach Larry Fedora said. And
(tonight) he did what he can do.

Behind their renaissance man,

the Tar Heels completed their largest comeback in program history,
stunning the Yellow Jackets to the
tune of 38-31.
In danger of heading into halftime down by a seemingly insurmountable margin, the Tar Heels,
led by Williams, mounted two
touchdown drives in the final minutes of the first half.
On the second drive, the
Charlotte native threw for 37 yards
and scampered into the end zone
from seven yards out to cut the score

Outside the classroom,
sit-ins and theater-picketing
convinced Price faith had a
social role.
Thats what MLK and
other civil rights leaders were
pointing out in a powerful
way, that religion was not just
about personal salvation and
conduct but also the kind of
society we wanted to live in,
he said.
Soon he joined the student
legislature, where he said he
narrowly passed a resolution
asking that town merchants
serve everyone.
His faith also won him
supporters in the 1986 congressional election, said
Pope Mac McCorkle, a
Duke public policy professor.
McCorkle met Price in 1981

while directing a panel at

Duke that looked into presidential nomination reform.
Price was a resident expert in
political science.
When David really hit
stride first in the congressional campaign was when he
started talking about (faith)
as what propelled him in his
politics, he said.
McCorkle came to view
Price as a scholar-statesman
in the line of Woodrow Wilson
and Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
blending intellect and political progressivism. He also
admired Prices integrity.
So many young people in
my day and other days went
after politics single-mindedly

OBannon case sees

After a former University of California-Los

Angeles basketball player brought a classaction lawsuit against the NCAA, an appellate
court has new answers regarding studentathletes compensation.
Ed OBannon brought the case in 2009
after EA Sports used him in a video game.
In August 2014, U.S. District Judge Claudia
Wilken ruled in favor of OBannon, allowing
future trust funds to reimburse NCAA athletes
for the use of their name, image or likeness.
Wilken also ruled in favor of allowing universities to pay their athletes up to $5,000 to com-

pensate for the use of name, image and likeness.

Following the decision, the NCAA filed
an appeal.
On Wednesday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals upheld Wilkens ruling that the
NCAAs policy of banning the payment of
student-athletes violated antitrust laws but
repealed her decision allowing universities to
pay students up to $5,000 as compensation.
Steve Kirschner, spokesperson for the athletic department at UNC, said the appellate
courts decision should not affect current student athletes at the University.
The $5,000 for name, image and likeness
was not supposed to go into effect until the
2016-17 season, Kirschner said.
The OBannon decision, if upheld by the
appellate court, would have allowed Division

Eugenics victims see further compensation

Second round of sterilization
victim settlements due Nov. 1.
By Olivia Slagle
Staff Writer

Its been 86 years since North Carolina

initiated a forced sterilization program, and
the N.C. General Assembly is still trying to
compensate victims.
Victims of the program, which lasted from
1929 to 1977 with the majority of the programs existence falling under the responsibility of the N.C. General Assembly and which
forced mentally handicapped people and
others to undergo sterilization, will receive an
additional $15,000 of compensation on Nov.

The 2013 budget allocated a total of $10

program. But in addition to 220 approved victims, Chris Mears, spokesperson for the N.C.
Department of Administration, said others
have filed appeals to be compensated.
Mears, whose department oversees the
Office of Justice for Sterilization Victims, said
the appeals process is taking much longer
than expected prompting the state to issue
compensation earlier.
The process should be sped up, said Anna

How to allow your holiday spirit to thrive

By Jordan Mareno
Staff Writer

We have entered the

month of October. By entering this tenth month of the
year, we have been thrown
into an onslaught of holidays
and festivities. We will soon
bring out our pumpkins and
candy corn, replace them with
an absurd amount of turkey
and potatoes come November
and, finally, swap out the
turkeys and cornucopias for

large pine trees, elves and

candy canes.
As college students with
limited budgets and lessthan-appealing dorm rooms,
the holidays present us with a
challenge: How do we express
our holiday spirit given our
restricted resources? How
do we prevent college from
crushing our holiday spirit?

is the ability to welcome all

levels of students.
Alpha Phi was looking to
admit all ages, which attracted
upperclassmen who might not
have been excited about going
through formal recruitment
but were excited about starting a new chapter, she said.
Alpha Phi first presented
itself to UNC when four
potential sororities made presentations to the Panhellenic
Council earlier this year.
During their presentations,
sororities explained why their
organization would be a good
fit on campus.
Ion Outterbridge, assistant director for the Office of
Fraternity and Sorority Life
and Community Involvement,
said he was part of the process
bringing Alpha Phi to campus.
It was a very competitive
process, Outterbridge said.
Alpha Phi, after being selected, went through the standard
first round of Panhellenic
recruitment as a way to introduce itself to the Greek community in late August of this
year. The organization then
dropped out of formal recruitment to build its own community of women through both
open and invitational events,
as well as one-to-one meetings
with Alpha Phi alumnae.

We were looking for

women whose vision
matched our vision of what
Alpha Phi would be here at
UNC, said Talia Saville, the
Alpha Phi educational leadership consultant.
Saville said choosing
women with experience in
leadership, as well as women
who would come together
and form a unified chapter,
was imperative to building a
chapter from the ground up.
The quality of women we
had was phenomenal, she said.
Saville said there were
still steps for the colony to
take to fully integrate into
Greek life at UNC, including
finding a house.
We are working with a
local architect as well as a
local realtor to help find a
facility, she said. As of right
now we do not have anything
finalized. We hope in the next
few months well be able to
announce what our plans are.
In the coming months, the
colony plans to distribute the
women into committees, elect
leadership roles and assign
bigs and littles.
(We have) big things
ahead, and we are really excited and hopeful, Saville said.

Carrboro police connect with residents over kava

By Zac Lowell
Staff Writer

Linda Williams, a regular at the

Carrboro kava lounge Krave, brought
her son in every day for a week to help
him detox from suboxone, a highly
addictive drug used to treat opiate
addiction.
He began drinking kratom tea,
which comes from a plant naturally
occurring in Southeast Asia. Kratom
targets the same opiate receptors as
drugs like heroin in a way that staves
off dependence.
He said (to me), I cant believe it.
I feel good, Im talking to people, and
normally, after three days without
something, I wouldnt be able to get out
of bed. Detoxing without anything is
absolutely horrible, Williams said. Im
so glad this place is here.
On Saturday, Krave hosted Kava with
a Cop, a free community event during
which residents of Carrboro and Chapel
Hill could sit down with local law
enforcement officers.
An herbal drink native to the South

Pacific, kava offers a means for Carrboro

and Chapel Hill residents between the
ages of 18 and 21 to socialize and relax
without the risks of alcohol.
The Carrboro Police Department
coordinated the event with Krave to
foster community engagement among
law enforcement and residents. One
K-9 unit officer, Ron Trombley, brought
in his dog Vader and introduced him to
clients as Trombley tried his first cup of
kava. Many Carrboro police officers are
regulars at Krave and see the business
as a viable, friendly place to relax and
make conversation.
A large, large percentage of our crimes
are alcohol-involved, either with the suspect, victim or both parties, said David
Deshaies, a Carrboro police officer who
came in for Kava with a Cop. If people
are using alcohol less, it would stand to
reason wed have to deal with those same
people on major calls less often.
The owner, Elizabeth Gardner, was
inspired to bring kava to the Triangle
after her first experience with it in 2011
at a Florida kava lounge.

UNC schools see

essential funding
The bill dedicates $2.9
billion to infrastructure
improvements in N.C.
By Thomas Shealy
Staff Writer

The N.C. General Assembly

allocated nearly $2.9 billion to the
UNC system last week in the form
of a bond package including
more than $68 million to the UNCChapel Hill School of Medicine.
The bill garnered bipartisan
support among legislators and was
presented to Gov. Pat McCrory
Thursday. McCrory is expected to
sign the bill and, if he does, voters
will be asked to approve the bonds
in March. After the vote, the first
bond issuance is expected mid-2016.
The money given to the School
of Medicine will be used to replace
Berryhill Hall. According to Karen
McCall, spokesperson for the School
of Medicine, a new building is desperately needed.
Right now the School of
Medicine does not have an appropriate environment in which to
instruct medical students the
lack of an adequate building for
medical education threatens our
accreditation, so a new building
has to be a top priority for the
University, she said.
The bill will not entirely cover
the $100 million price tag of the
new building, but it does reverse the
recent trend of decreased state funding the UNC School of Medicine
and the UNC Health Care System
have faced a budget cut of 40 percent since 2008, McCall said.
We are optimistic that the legislature is beginning to recognize the
need to provide funding for medical education as witnessed by the
$1 million funding of the Medical
Scholars Program in this past legislative session, McCall said.
Funding problems have plagued
universities throughout the UNC
system since the recession, despite
growing student populations.

Drew Moretz, vice president for

governmental relations for the UNC
system, said there has been tremendous growth in students taking science, technology, engineering and
math classes.
At several of our campuses, the
current science buildings were built
for a much smaller student body and,
with the growth in interest, the facilities arent able to serve the increased
demand, he said in an email.
At the same time, Moretz said the
UNC system lacks proper funding
for repair and renovation.
We have a tremendous backlog of repair and renovation needs
across the system, he said in an
email. Since the recession, the state
has been challenged to provide significant R&R funds, meaning some
simple repair needs have turned into
major challenges for our campuses.
The bill will also provide the
North Carolina public high school
system with $500 million for infrastructure improvement. Specifically,
the funds would be used for new
schools, additions and renovations.
Hannah Love, a senior at UNCChapel Hill who serves as the
co-chapter leader of Students For
Education Reform at UNC and media
captain for the state chapter, said
money needs to be spent on things
besides infrastructure for schools.
Facility improvement is great, but
its also really important that we have
great curriculum and that we have
great educators and that we have so
many more resources for those (high
school) students, she said.
According to the National
Education Association, North
Carolina ranked 47th nationally for
both average teacher salary, and for
state and local government spending
per student in K-12 schools during
the 2013-14 school year.
North Carolina historically has
been known for having such strong
public universities and in the past
couple years it just seems more and
more of a question if theyre going to
stay that way, Love said.

I wanted to bring it home and let my

family and friends here benefit from it,
Gardner said.
Gardner served as a public defender
before opening Krave and saw the
effects of alcohol firsthand, which
encouraged her to provide an alternative to alcohol in her community.
The reason I wanted to come to an
alcohol alternative is because I kept
burying my clients and my family members who abused alcohol and drugs,
Gardner said. If I feel someones abusing (kava), I will cut them off. I dont
want any of those issues.

UNC owes $1.4 billion and

counting as of August 2015,
Brian Smith, director of treasury and risk management
services, said in Wednesdays
Board of Trustees meeting.
Matt Fajack, the vice
chancellor for finance and
administration, said the debt
financed important campus
buildings, such as residence
halls and research facilities.
It is appropriate debt,
Fajack said.
Smith said, despite the
debt, UNC has an Aaa credit
rating the highest possible
credit rating.
Smith said UNCs debt,
issued through the bond market, is similar to other Aaa
rated universities, like the
University of Virginia or the
University of Michigan.
The numbers are normal,
and weve got the highest
credit rating, Smith said.
Moodys, one of the institutions that assigns credit
ratings, said in a statement
the rating was a reflection
of UNCs multibillion-dollar
financial resources, consistent
operating performance and
continued donor support,
among other things.
Compared to other schools
financial debt, UNC is right
on track, Smith said. Moodys
website says University of
Virginia has $1.5 billion
in debt and University of
Washington has $2.4 billion.
Were not an outlier,
Smith said. Its not unusual.
Most of the current debt
was issued between 2004
and 2012 to finance campus
growth, Smith said.
A lot of universities and
a lot of colleges across the
country were growing, and
so it was commonplace (for)
a lot of schools during that
period of time, a lot of our
peers during that period of
time were growing, expand-

ing, and all of us were issuing

debt at the same time, Smith
said.
Smith associated the
growth with more students
going to college and the need
to renew aging facilities.
We are borrowing for our
dormitories, parking decks,
athletic facilities, research
facilities, Smith said. We
debt-financed the genetic
medicine building on campus.
Fajack said the University
tries to match the expense of
the debt with the people who
are benefiting from it. People
living in new residence halls,
for example, pay for the debt
service in their fee. He said
UNC only uses debt for capital
projects like new buildings and
not for operating expenses.
It properly matches the
benefit of that building to the
users of the building, he said.
The University is limited by
state statute to borrowing for
30 years and at the end of that
time, the amount must be paid
back. However, as the campus
continues to grow and facilities need renovations, Smith
said the University expects to
borrow more money to finance
projects.
Were borrowing to support our mission for the
University, Smith said. So
Id say given the reason why
we are borrowing, what were
financing, I think its a prudent use of debt to meet the
Universitys mission.

Domestic Violence Awareness Month kicks off

At Feminist Friday, a
professor addressed
communities of color.
By Maggie Budd and
Olivia Browning
Staff Writers

On Friday, students discussed

domestic violence in communities of color at the Campus Y for
Feminist Friday, a monthly event
led by Carolina Advocating for
Gender Equality.
Rachel Allen, co-chairperson of
CAGE, helped organize the event.
Basically were just trying to
raise awareness and educate people
about the intersections of race and
gender oppressions, Allen said.
The topic of relationship violence is especially relevant because
October is Domestic Violence
Awareness Month.
I think its important to talk
about what a healthy relationship is
and also talk about how the prevalence of abusive relationships is
supported by institutions like race
and gender, Allen said.
Ariana Vigil, assistant professor
in the Department of Womens and
Gender Studies and the speaker at
Fridays event, said the event brings
awareness to the specific issue.
Something like Domestic
Violence Awareness Month is meant
to bring awareness to a particular
issue and allow people to explore
that one issue and just like focus in
on it and understand how it intersects with other issues, Vigil said.
The event covered topics including the health care field, reasons
that prevent victims of domestic
violence from leaving, historical
analysis of domestic violence, how
domestic violence plays into current
events and tips for dealing with a
survivor.
Another part of the event was
small group discussions about

things at once.
Vigil said the event is part of a
larger conversation about domestic violence.
I think the national conversation particularly on campus sexual

because of student-led activism that
was holding universities accountable for not meeting the needs of
survivors, Vigil said.
Sophomore Elaine King said she
participated in the event because
it was relevant to both her majors:
public health and womens studies.

The message is important to

me because it considers the intersectional part of womens studies
that is sometimes unacknowledged
by people who are unfamiliar with
feminism, she said.

The Daily Tar Heel

Festifall canceled, but events moved to Local 506

By Morgan Howard
Staff Writer

With the threat of

Hurricane Joaquin looming
over Orange County, the 43rd
annual Festifall Arts Festival
chose to go in a new direction
with its original schedule.
The six-hour event,
which typically features
hundreds of vendors and
artists, was supposed to take
place Sunday but was canceled Friday evening due to
inclement weather.
Festifalls website and

Twitter cited Parks and

Recreation Director Jim Orr
regarding the events preemptive cancellation.
Safety is our No. 1 priority, and with the threat of
high winds and rain, we felt
it to be in everyones best
interest to cancel, Orr said
in a statement.
The annual festival, hosted
by the town of Chapel Hill,
is considered a staple in the
Chapel Hill arts community by
many artists who participate.
While most of the vendors
and artists interpreted the

cancellation to mean completely ending all activities

and performances, Local 506
decided otherwise.
The local venue, located on
West Franklin Street, originally had an outdoor stage, but its
owners decided to move the
event to its own space when
Festifall was canceled.
Owner Kippy Perkins said
most of the bands feature
staff from Local 506, making the shows relocation an
easy choice.
Theyre used to being in
here and used to performing

in here, and a couple of acts

have performed in here, so it
was easy to get them to say,
OK, yeah, lets just try it and
see how it goes, she said.
Eight acts performed
Sunday, and audience members ranged from people
passing by to fans of the performers.
But other artists did not
have the luxury of relocating.
Kyle Wilson, owner of Left
Behind Photography, said
the cancellation of Festifall
might have contributed to
lost revenue.

Wilson said that he did

surprisingly well at last
years Festifall, earning over
$1,100, and was looking forward to this year to prepare
for bigger festivals happening in the future.
Going into my two biggest
shows in the next upcoming
weekends which are outof-state multiple day shows
(Festifall) could have really
helped me put back into the
business and create more
inventory for the next two big
shows, Wilson said.
Emily Darst, a student at

UNC Eshelman School of

Pharmacy, was planning on
coming to Festifall but credits
social media for her decision
to go to Local 506.
If I wasnt friends with
the bands Facebook page, I
wouldnt have known about it
moving venues, Darst said.
Senior Nader Hilmi decided to attend on a whim.
I wasnt even planning on
coming to Local 506, but I
didnt have anything else to
do. So why not?

UNC class raises money for new van for Heavenly Groceries
This new van would
help the Jackson
Center with errands.
By Devyn Davis
Staff Writer

When U.S. military cadet

Carlos Cordero stepped
into Professor Jennifer Hos
English 271 class this semester, he had no idea he would
be stepping into what would
become his newest mission:
to raise $5,000 by the end
of the year for a Heavenly
Groceries van.

broke free near the sideline.

Davis lofted the ball his way,
and now all the redshirt
senior had to do was haul
it in.
The ball was in the air for
a long time, Williams said.
And Im thinking, If I drop
this Im not allowed to go
back to Chapel Hill.
But Williams made the
grab, and with no one within
five yards of him, he walked
into the end zone to give the
Tar Heels their first lead of
the night.
The Tar Heels had the lead,
but for the team to earn a victory, Williams needed to be
the focal point of the offense.
With less than five minutes
remaining and facing fourth
down on the Yellow Jacket
27-yard line, the quarterback called his own number,
rumbling down the field for
a touchdown and effectively
icing the game.
After a week filled with
doubt from fans and the
media, Williams put together
a truly complete performance
against Georgia Tech.
When the final whistle
blew, he led the team in

Jackson Center, is a certified food bank and ministry

of St. Joseph CME Church
that is dedicated to providing grocery items to underserved communities in and
surrounding Chapel Hill.
Started by ministry member, Gladys PendergraphBrandon in 2011, Heavenly
Groceries became the only
self-serve food bank in
North Carolina.
The work the organization
does is completed by church
members, UNC students and
other individuals within the
community.
The organization has been

Everyone had started
doubting him, Davis said.
For him to come out here
in the ACC opener and show
out like he did, and show
that toughness that he has,
I think that says a lot about
his character.
But at the end of the day
for Williams, the stats simply
do not matter. Whatever the
Tar Heels need him to be
going forward, he said he is
prepared to fill that role.
It was a team victory
today, and thats what we
need to continue to win
games, he said. And whatever helps this team to win
football games, thats me.
On Saturday, North
Carolina needed Williams to
be everything. And when it
mattered most, the fifth-year
senior delivered.

least five different counties.

But as the food bank continues to grow, so does the
demand which is where
Cordero comes in to help.
The van he is raising
money for will replace the
programs current van and
help pick up its groceries, as
well as run other errands.
Getting this van would
help in so many ways,
Cordero said.
My mission is to just try
to get at least a thousand
people to donate even
if its just $5 to the
GoFundMe so that they can
keep serving the community
that has already done so
much for me.

Ho said she has also

begun searching for ways to
raise money for the Jackson
Center. Originally on the
hunt for a donation website
that had a minimum donation of one dollar, she said
she eventually stumbled
upon GoFundMe.com,
which has a slightly higher
minimum of $5.
Its for such a great
cause, and I really just want
everyone to know about it,
Ho said.
The Jackson Center staff
said they are excited and
hopeful about getting a van
to help with the errands.
Although their current
vehicle is still running, staff

member Brentton Harrison

said that the centers current
van is in poor shape.
It definitely needs to be
replaced, but its just the
funds of how to get another
one, Harrison said.
Although Cordero has set
up a GoFundMe account for
the van, as of time of press,
only $135 had been raised.
That means there is
$4,865 to go but Cordero
said he has a plan of action.
Nearby army base Fort
Bragg has car auctions for
its unwanted cars, and with
$5,000, Cordero hopes to
buy one of these vans for
Heavenly Groceries.
They basically auction off

these vans that are for much

cheaper than you could find
anywhere else but are still
in great condition, Cordero
said.
The vans GoFundMe
website will be open until
the end of the year but
Harrison said the center
would love to replace the
van as quickly as possible.
Ho said she hopes everyone will donate at least the
$5 minimum.
This is such a great
thing, and I wanted it to
keep serving this community, which is so rich in culture, she said.

PRICE

There again you come to

the importance of diplomacy
and figuring out a way to stop
the horrible conflicts in Syria
and the region, Price said.
He said the world community should collaborate to relieve
suffering and displacement.
McCorkle said Washington
hasnt swayed Price from his
ideals.
His moral standards are
incredibly high in terms of his
own view of himself and proper conduct, and they havent
been compromised in my view
at all, McCorkle said.
These standards inform his

support of todays domestic

social movements.
There are very strong currents underway that have to
do with injustices that people
have suffered and also a sense
of outrage with whats going
on in politics, Price said.
The attempts of the General
Assembly in North Carolina to
cut back on education, to deny
people Medicaid coverage, to
make it harder to vote those
are outrageous things.
He said the civil rights
movement taught him effective activism required collaboration among people of differ-

ent faiths and backgrounds.

I value a sense of unity, but
I dont want to purchase unity
at all costs, he said. You need
peace with justice as they say
or justice and peace together.
Recently, Prices son and
daughter flew in from England
and California, respectively, to
throw their parents a surprise
birthday party at the Carolina
Inn, McCorkle said. The representative and his wife, Lisa,
both turned 75 but Price
said hes not planning to retire
any time soon.

tion between those who were

sterilized by the state eugenics
board and those sterilized by
any official, even if it was a
county official.
Krome-Lukens said she
questions whether the state is
doing enough even for those
who already qualify for compensation. Its taken a long
time for us to get here, and at
the end of the day if it ends up
being $45,000, thats great,
but can you really compensate
for taking away someones
right to reproduce? she said.
N.C. Rep. Paul Stam,
R-Wake, wrote in an essay that
the state program expanded
over time, as 79 percent of

forced sterilizations happened

after 1945. He approximates
7,600 people were sterilized
the third highest of any state.
Elizabeth Haddix, an attorney with the UNC Center for
Civil Rights, said her organization has been active in the
compensation process.
Weve actually coordinated a team of pro bono attorneys who have helped people
with their claims and during
the appeals process, she said.
She said the centers interest stemmed from the belief
that the North Carolina
eugenics program was an
issue of racial oppression, as
it disproportionately affected

African-American women.
Over 60 percent of people
sterilized were AfricanAmerican and, in those years,
black people were only 10
percent of the population,
she said.
Though North Carolina
was the first of the 32 states
with a eugenics program to
provide compensation to victims, Krome-Lukens said it
must continue its leadership.
I think because of our role
as one of the most active sterilization programs, I think we
also have the responsibility to
be a leader in addressing that.

OBANNON

there is absolutely no basis in

law for that order that Judge
Wilkens made at trial court
level, Osborne said.
So the $5,000 was basically
sort of the judge just exercising
her own judgment and coming
up with a random number that
didnt have any factual or evidentiary basis whatsoever.
OBannon and his lawyers
won the case, but the appellate
courts approval of the NCAAs
appeal alters the outcome for
future student-athletes.
Both sides are saying they
won, Osborne said. Basically,
any of those schools that said
they were going to pay their
student athletes or set up trust
funds, none of those schools
can do that, but all of those
schools that said they would
pay their athletes up to the
cost of living can do that.

poses, he said.
But Price was an exception,
McCorkle said.
Price spearheaded the Iran
Deal, generating support in
2012, then leading the whip
team early this summer.
My main device over the
years has been joint letters
with colleagues, bipartisan letters initially, but increasingly
Democrats alone, he said.
The values behind the Iran
Deal also apply to the Syrian
refugee crisis, he said.

Even though a lot of the

people who were sterilized
were sterilized as teenagers, that still means theyre
in their late 60s now at the
youngest, she said.
Krome-Lukens said she
applauds the states efforts for
compensation, but she said
the scope of the project could
be expanded to include those
sterilized under county agents.
Those county agents would
not have been sterilizing
people if the state law wasnt
there, she said. I dont think

David Deshaies, on using alcohol alternatives like kava

Alex Thomas

utsider is a term
that used to have
some meaning to
it. If you were an outsider in
a group, it meant you were a
new face that raised eyebrows
as you fought against the status quo. But along with that
came a degree of appreciation
for standing up for your differences, and even provided a
window for success.
In the 1992 presidential
election, we had Ross Perot,
the Texas billionaire running
on cutting government waste
and boosting efficiency.
Now, merely 13 months
until the 2016 presidential
election, outsider is as overused in politics as kissing
babies and claiming to care
about the middle class.
For the Republicans, Donald
Trump, Ben Carson and Carly
Fiorina have been labeled as
outsiders by journalists and voters, primarily because they lack
public office experience, running as fresh faces in a GOP still
struggling to find an identity.
On the Democrat side, Bernie
Sanders has been given this title
for his more populist approach
to issues facing the American
populace. This includes supporting a national $15 per hour
minimum living wage.
But while each brings something unique to the election,
none of their actions justify the
label outsider.
For Fiorina and Carson,
their outsider statuses rely
mainly on their careers outside
of politics. Fiorina is the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard,
while Carson is known for his
neurosurgery work at Johns
Hopkins Hospital.
However, their positions are
mostly typical Republican ideals. The tax code is horrid. We
need a strong military. Abortion
is wrong. Nothing we have not
seen before, and not challenging
the dominant status.
For Sanders, he has proven
himself to be different, running on a platform of populism
sprinkled with socialistic positions. With policies like his
plan for tuition free-education,
he has proven himself to be a
real challenger.
Yet at the same time,
Sanders has served in Congress
since 1991, becoming a senator
in 2007. He is a senior member
of the Senate, and is serving
as the ranking member of the
Senate Budget Committee.
The only candidate worth
the title of outsider is
Trump, but it is a questionable distinction. Trumps positions have changed so much
even since he joined the race
in June, it is hard to tell where
he stands on a fair number of
issues. He could fit the outsider persona, but the lack of
a consistency makes this current labeling unclear.
Each of these individuals
brings something unique to
the race to the White House,
and each should highlight
their differences. However,
certain outlets should be careful about calling people outsiders when candidates may
not fit the definition.
These candidates surely
have their differences, but
none are new enough to completely change the culture in
Washington. While the label
may catch the average persons
eye, it will not be enough to
assure these people will indeed
act like outsiders if they are
sworn into office.

The storm is over

After a session of
regression, the dust
settles in Raleigh.

t is finally over.
The N.C. General
Assembly closed its
session on Wednesday.
The town, the University
and its community are no
longer under deliberate
and passive assault after
a legislative onslaught in
line with regressions in
2013.
The laws the legislature created this year are
a direct reflection of its
members, elected by our
voting citizens. Consider
the following legislation
that was created, proposed or ignored during
this session:
1. The Protect North
Carolina Workers Act is
better known as House
Bill 318. It seeks to
deport active members
of immigrant communities regardless of their
contributions to American
society. It was presented
to Gov. Pat McCrory on
Wednesday.
The act would push
undocumented North
Carolinians further into
the shadows.
In an interview with
The Daily Tar Heel,
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark
Kleinschmidt said this bill
would discourage undocumented immigrants

from calling the police or

engaging in the community, due to fear of being
harassed or deported.
2. North Carolina is one
of 19 states that has avoided expanding Medicaid to
its citizens, a federal mandate under the Affordable
Care Act, according to
Families USA.
By failing to expand
Medicaid the state is losing out on guaranteed
federal dollars.
Instead, the legislature decided to privatize
its Medicaid services.
This action was taken
despite the evidence
that Community Care of
N.C., the states Medicaid
provider, won numerous
awards and adequately
serves its customers,
according to the North
Carolina Justice Center.
3. Cumulative budget
cuts to the UNC system
have totaled $500 million
since 2011.
The relationship
between the UNC system
and the legislature has
been contentious since
the Republicans gained
the majority in both
houses.
4. In 2013, the legislature passed a bill that
would require all voters to
have photographic identification by 2016. This will
create even more barriers
to entry for prospective
voters and should be con-

sidered a direct attack on

voters rights.
However, in September,
N.C. Superior Judge
Michael Morgan placed
a hold on the bill in
response to an amendment that would allow
voters to request permission to use nonpicture
identification.
This hold will stand
until after the primaries
in March, and activists
against the requirement of
photographic voter identification ought to use this
time to continue protesting the advancement of
voter disenfranchisement.
5. North Carolina grew
its economy with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in the
solar industry.
Unfortunately, the second most solarized state
is losing the tax credit
that was largely responsible for this economic
expansion for ideological
reasons.
Register yourself to
vote. Inform yourself on
the impact of the legislatures decisions on your
life, your university and
your town.
North Carolinas voters
cannot allow for Raleighs
legislators to prevent the
progress our state needs.
Exercise your right to
vote to rid our state of its
regressive lawmakers in
2016.

Rethink housing
Students should
explore all
on-campus options.

tudents have had

trouble with Chapel
Ridges management, Stratford Hills and
Stratford Apartments dont
come furnished, and when
winter weather hits, climbing the hill from Town
House Apartments is not
ideal. So why do so many
students move off campus
beginning sophomore year?
The most common
answer is that off-campus
living can be cheaper than
on-campus living. And this
editorial board gets that.
Part of college is learning
how to make that last $15
in your bank account count
Cosmic Cantina and the
Yogurt Pump.
But for those on the
fence, consider applying
to live in a Residential
Learning Program (formerly Living-Learning
Communities, or LLCs).
Its just one way to challenge whether cheaper
rent is worth the summer
subletting woes or pass-

ing up a residence halls

convenience.
Beginning in Fall
2016, the Department of
Housing and Residential
Education said it will
be rolling out a few new
programs, including one
for members of the LGBT
community and the ROTC
community. Innovators
and entrepreneurs might
even have their own oncampus living community
as soon as Fall 2017, if
current early-stage talks
between housing and the
Kenan-Flagler Business
School become reality.
And there are already
the existing nine RLPs.
The new projects, and
other projects currently
being considered, such as
renovating several kitchens in North Campus residence halls in the coming
year or two, are all part of
the housing departments
campaign to earn UNC
students love. Because
students matter.
Students matter so much
to the housing department,
in fact, because they make
up its primary revenue
source. So as more students

move off campus and

as long as the department
doesnt receive state funding the money it has
to begin projects like new
RLPs and gourmet kitchens
is dwindling.
Rick Bradley, associate
director of housing and residential education, said the
housing department would
like to be able to take on
larger projects. In the past,
its ideas have included total
renovations of communitystyle residence halls into
suite-style and building a
new hall on South Campus.
These ideas were based
directly on student feedback, but the housing
department didnt have
the funding to make either
work. This can change.
Simply deciding to live
on campus can make an
impact on the quality of
how everyone else lives.
The on-campus life isnt
for everyone. But students
should give serious consideration to residence
halls that are on campus
and surround themselves
with people who share the
same interests and goals.
It seems like a good deal.

TO THE EDITOR:
In the Oct. 1 edition of
The Daily Tar Heel, Jenny
Thompson referred to
one of my blog posts on
chapelhillwatch.com of a
few months ago in which I
came out strongly in support of the Yes Means Yes
policy UNC adopted.
Women have been socialized since we were little
girls to not say, No, then
as adults we are blamed for
not saying, No, forcefully
enough. I made the analogy
between people who dont
realize how difficult it is
to say No, and the Town
Councils dilemma of having
to say no in uncomfortable
situations.
It certainly was not my
intent to cause trauma
to anyone, much less to
someone who had already
been traumatized. Now
that I realize how my analogy came across to Ms.
Thompson and perhaps
others, I have removed the
analogy from my blog post.
Nancy Oates
Candidate for Chapel
Hill Town Council

UNC needs to fight

for cheaper drugs
TO THE EDITOR:
By now, you have seen
the story all over social
media. You have heard the
condemnations of greed
and opportunism. You have
heard people writing off an
industry as corrupt and prioritizing profits over people.
I am referring to the
recent news story involving Martin Shkreli,
chief executive of Turing
Pharmaceuticals and former hedge fund manager.
His company bought the
rights to the drug Daraprim
and raised the price from
$13.50 per pill to $750.
Daraprim is used to treat
toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that poses
severe health risk to people
with AIDS and pregnant
women, among others.
With Daraprim as with
most medicines if people
cant afford it, they go without it, facing complications
and sometimes death. The
burden of forgoing treatment because it is too expensive falls overwhelmingly on
vulnerable populations.
I am calling upon my
fellow Carolina community
members to do more in the
name of access to medicines that save lives. Talk is
cheap. Medicines are not.
Pricing decisions feel like
they take place in a faraway
boardroom. In reality, however, university students
and faculty can take action
to impact the affordability
of medicines. Furthermore,
its imperative that we take
such action.
The process of developing a new drug takes
place in our own backyard.
Nearly one-fourth of drugs
approved by the Food
and Drug Administration
start in university labs.
Universities then license

private companies to further develop and distribute

the drug, typically giving
them a monopoly.
If a company can charge
whatever they want for a
medicine, the price is generally outside the realm of
affordability for the average citizen of countries like
Malawi or the Philippines.
By changing a universitys licensing process, you
can change the accessibility
of medicines in low and
middle-income countries.
At the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, we
have a long way to go. Earlier
this year, Universities Allied
for Essential Medicines
reviewed UNC.
This international student advocacy group seeks
to improve access to medicines in resource-limited
countries and to increase
research for treating
neglected diseases. UAEM
gave UNC a grade as part
of the University Report
Card on Global Equity and
Biomedical Research.
For the report card, the
organization assessed a
universitys investment
in innovative research for
neglected diseases and how
their licensing practices
ensured equitable access for
people in low- and middleincome countries.
The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill
received a C plus. We are an
esteemed university with
one of the best schools of
public health in the country. Our university community enshrines justice and
equity as core values. We
can do better.
In good news, this report
card is like any other; we
have the chance to earn a
higher grade next year.
We must urge our university to change its licensing
framework. While the Office
of Technology Development
has committed to the principle of global access, it has
not disclosed any details
regarding how our licensing procedure allows drugs
developed at UNC to be
affordable in resource-limited countries.
Last year, only 16.33
percent of licenses issued
by UNC for new drug compounds were nonexclusive.
As a point of comparison,
89.74 percent of licenses to
come out of Johns Hopkins
were nonexclusive.
When a company holds
an exclusive license, they
effectively have a monopoly.
Generic competition lowers
the price of the drug in that
country. And if you live on
fewer than $2 per day, as
close to a third of the worlds
population does, a lower
price for a medicine is a
question of life or death.
We must make our licensing process more transparent and the language more
explicit to allow for generic
competition in low- and
middle-income countries.
This change will demonstrate Carolinas commitment to global health equity
and keep us comparable to
our peer institutions. And
it will save lives. We can do
better than a C plus.

The Daily Tar Heel

Q&A with grammar

guru Steven Pinker
Psycholinguist and New
York Times best-selling
author Steven Pinker gave a
talk Sunday at Flyleaf Books
to discuss his seventh book,
The Sense of Style.
Copy co-chief Alison Krug
spoke with Pinker about
millennial language trends,

DTH/BEREN SOUTH
Jewel Francis, a recipient of Fix-A-Homes house renovations, tours her home Friday afternoon.

Volunteers transform
Northside home
By Isabella Lupoli
Staff Writer

More than 20 people stood

in the house of Jewel Francis,
Northside resident, waiting
for her to arrive on Friday.
Her house was fitted with a
new bedroom, four new beds,
new floors, joists, appliances,
cabinets, doors, fresh paint
and more all completed
within a week by the members
of the Fix-A-Home project.
Fix-A-Home is a branch
of the Greater Chapel Hill
Association of REALTORS,
dedicated to renovating a
home of a Chapel Hill or
Carrboro resident every year
completely cost-free.
We started last Thursday.
And, you know, you watch the
TV shows right? This is real,
said Anne Hoole, co-chairperson of Fix-A-Home.
Francis, her goddaughter
Anita Wilson and Wilsons two
kids, Lillie, 9, and Elijah, 8, had
been staying in a donated hotel
room during the renovations.
They had not seen any of the
improvements until Friday.

Francis arrived with Lillie

and Elijah. The children ran up
the steps first and were stopped
in the doorway by Hoole.
Can you walk quietly to
your room? Hoole said to
Elijah and Lillie.
They walked slowly into
their kitchen and looked
around. I dont know where
it is, Lillie said with a smile.
Elijah and Lillie ran in
opposite directions down
the hallway and found their
rooms. Gasps, squeals and
laughter ensued as Francis
approached the threshold.
Wow this is beautiful. A
new house! Francis said. She
took her first steps into the
newly renovated house.
Oh, its beautiful, she said.
Wilson was unable to
attend the revealing due to
work, but when asked what
she would think when she saw
the house, Elijah replied with
a quick, Good, before racing
off with a new red blanket tied
to his back as a cape.
Its impossible, Chapel Hill
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt
said. Someone came in here

with a magic wand, or there

was some spell casting or something, to make this happen.
With the extensive work
done on the home, it was
completely unrecognizable.
Its difficult to describe, it
really is amazing that people
in our community live like
that, said Jackie Tanner, cochairperson of Fix-A-Home.
You know, people who work
and are on fixed incomes.
Francis laughed in both
disbelief and excitement..
Im very happy and very
appreciative, she said. Im
sorry, Im limited in my
vocabulary right now.
Francis applied for the
program last year and was
accepted early this year.
Shes real Chapel Hill,
Kleinschmidt said. When her
mom was in need, she came
and took care of her, and she
then got this place and, as
modest as it is, she opened
it up to others. That kind of
generous spirit deserves some
generosity in return.
@Bella_Lupoli
city@dailytarheel.com

piqued your interest in linguistics and specifically linking it with psychology?

Steven Pinker: Well, it

was the other way around.
My interest originated in
psychology, in particular in
cognitive psychology: how the
mind works. And for me, language is just one of the many
remarkable things that the
mind can accomplish.
DTH: Are there any grammar misconceptions that you
would like to debunk?
SP: Theres nothing wrong

with beginning a sentence

with and or because;
theres nothing wrong with
ending a sentence with a
preposition; the idea that
somethings wrong with a
split infinitive is nonsense.
And there are many others.
And I think there are distinctions that people should
respect. They should know
how their words are going
to be interpreted and not
try to use a fancy schmancy
synonym for a word if they
arent sure what it means.
You shouldnt thank someone
for their fulsome praise or
fulsome compliment if you
dont realize that fulsome
does not mean full. It means
insincere or excessive or
explicitly designed to flatter
but not sincerely meant.
You should know the difference between simplistic
and simple, and even small
distinctions, like to know that

Steven
Pinker is
a New York
Times bestselling author
and a psycholinguist.
its better to say to home in
than to hone in. To home
in means to return home,
like what homing pigeons do.

DTH: What made you decide

to write The Sense of Style?
SP: I have long fantasized
about writing a book that
would actually apply the modern science of language cognition to the task of writing clear
and stylish prose. And probably the last straw was suffering under a copy editor who
was going over my prose for a
previous book, and I could tell
that she was applying some
of the rules from other style
guides robotically.
The guides do not explain
the rationale behind the rules,
so even though the rules were
good in some places, they
were bad in other places.
DTH: Do you have a favorite how-to-write book or
style guide?
SP: Of the books that analyze what goes into good writing, my favorite two are Mark
Turner and Francis-Nol
Thomas Clear and Simple
as the Truth and Joseph
Williams Style: Toward
Clarity and Grace. Both of
those are influenced a bit by
linguistics and cognitive science, although not as much
as mine.
I also enjoy some of the
ones that I think are obsolete
and have a lot of errors such
as (William) Strunk and
(E.B.) Whites The Elements
of Style. Theres a lot of nonsense in them, but theres a lot
of good stuff as well, and they

are each well written, and,

I think, still worth reading,
although not the final word.

DTH: As the chairperson

for the American Heritage
Dictionarys Usage Panel, has
there ever been a word or
usage point that youve ever
pushed for or against or felt
strongly about?
SP: Well its really not my
rule to push for my own
tastes because the point of the
panel is to survey a sample of
careful writers and to see what
they think to translate their
sensibility into advice for the
use in the dictionary. The idea
is theres no one in charge; no
one actually legislates whats
correct and incorrect. Its just
an evolving consensus. So
whats correct is what most
careful writers think is correct,
and thats why we ask careful writers, and what they say
pretty much goes.
DTH: Do you have any millennial language trends that
you really hate or that you
really love?
SP: I dont particularly like
the trend of the new construction of because nouns, like,
I believe in global warming
because science. I dont know
how prevalent that is among
millennials, but I dont quite
get that. I do think there is
more reliance on taboo language on profanity in
journalism than is best for
graceful communication.
And Im not prudish about
swearing. I do it myself. But I
think that taboo words should
be used judiciously so that they
retain their power. One should
be a little bit more creative in
referring to an evil dictator
than to call him a f*cker, for
example. Even if he is a f*cker,
you should be able to express
that a little more gracefully.

Nonprot helps pay it forward

SKJAJA Fund helps
local kids participate
in extracurriculars.
By Rachel Herzog
Senior Writer

One year, Kim Glasser

decided to celebrate her
birthday by giving each of her
family members money and
asking them to tell her how
they used it to help someone
else. To her, the best gift was
hearing about how her family
paid it forward.
In 2008, Glassers brother
and sister-in-law, Eric and
Charlotte White, decided they
didnt want to stop giving.
Instead of just giving
one time and being done,
we thought, Lets start this
organization, Charlotte
White said.
They started the SKJAJA
Fund, taking the name from
an acronym of Glassers family members.
The nonprofit raises money
to help local kids participate
in extracurricular activities
they might not be able to
afford otherwise, from sports
to music lessons to summer

camp to trips abroad.

The organization has
grown a lot since it started,
Charlotte White said, and
it has given away between
$10,000 and $12,000 each
year for the last three years.
It accepts applications
monthly.
This month, the fund
helped eight elementary
school children attend the
Communiversity Youth
Program, an after-school
program through UNCs
Sonja Haynes Stone Center
for Black Culture and History.
This program provides children with cultural enrichment and community-building skills.
The SKJAJA Fund does
ask for repayment but in
the form of helping someone
else.
Charlotte White said the
organization works with
school social workers to help
the kids figure out a project
thats age appropriate to give
back.
Elementary school kids
have worked in community gardens, made cards for
elderly people and cleaned up
trash in their neighborhoods.
Older kids projects range

It ended up giving
me one of the most
valuable experiences Ive ever had.
Beth Siegling
Tenth-grader and donation receiver

from tutoring other students

to painting a mural.
They pay us back by paying it forward, Charlotte
White said. We hope they
follow up and tell us what
they did. We love hearing
their stories.
Most donations range
from $50 to $300 some
are larger.
Tenth-grader Beth Siegling
received a donation toward a
middle school trip to China.
She spent a year and a half
raising $1,500 toward the
trip, and the SKJAJA Fund
paid the rest.
(It) was fantastic and
totally unprecedented, she
said. It ended up giving me
one of the most valuable
experiences Ive ever had.
Sieglings mother,
Michelle Siegling, said shes
thankful that Beth and her
younger sister were able to

have that experience.

SKJAJA was really important in helping them reach
their goals, Michelle Siegling
said.

Before the trip, they gathered school supplies to bring

to a rural Chinese school and
helped teachers with administrative work for the trip.

I learned a lot about

responsibility, Beth Siegling

Networking a focus at Sports Business Expo

By Mayura Patwardhan
Staff Writer

On Saturday, Buffy
Filippell, president of
TeamWork Consulting and
a former tennis player, told
the Carolina Sport Business
& Fitness Expo how athletic
skills can easily translate to
the business world.
You want to win the
game, Filippell said. Use all
the athletic skills you learned
and use them for the next
part of your journey.
The Carolina Sport
Business Club hosted
its third annual expo at
the Blue Zone in Kenan
Memorial Stadium.
This year, Filippell and
Shamaree Brown, director
of student-athlete programs
and compliance for the ACC,
were invited to speak at the
expo.
Buffy is super dynamic
as far as people she knows
in the sports world. Barely
anyone compares to her

as far as connections go,

CSFE President Christopher
Donaldson said.
The speakers talked about
their entrepreneurial experiences and the lessons they
learned while working with
professionals in the field.
Both Brown and Filippell
stressed the power of networking.
Its all about making sure
you have people to speak up
for you when new jobs come
up, Brown said.
Donaldson said the event
started in 2013 as a way to
introduce students to the
world of sports business and
allow students to make connections with different professionals in the field.
There were a lot of career
fairs on campus but there
was a trend that we noticed
that sports and fitness
groups were highly underrepresented, Donaldson
said. There wasnt a good
in or expo that was available
to students who wanted to

get into the sports industry.

Carolina being such a big
sports school, we kind of saw
that as a great place to start
an event like this.
Now in its third year, the
expo is still working to adapt
to students needs.
Its still changing. This
year we added the (auction)
as just another thing people
can check out. We had two
keynote speakers this year
instead of just one, so we
are getting to hear more
from some of the highlevel people of the field,
Donaldson said.
First-year Rachel Brittain
said the event was informative and helped her meet likeminded people.
I was interested in a
career in the sports and business industry and it looked
like a great opportunity to
network and get involved
and meet other students in
Carolina that were interested
in the same things that I was,
Brittain said.

The speakers all bring

something new and interesting to the industry and I
think it is really cool to hear
the different sides of the different jobs and all the opportunities there are for people
out there.
In her speech, Filippell
provided motivation and
advice for students entering
the profession.
If you tell me what you
want that doesnt tell me
what you bring to the table,
she said. Tell me what you
deserve.

Q&A with professor Diya Abdo

In response to the Syrian
refugee crisis, Diya Abdo,
chairperson of the English
department at Guilford
College in Greensboro, has
challenged academic institutions to re-envision their
campuses as sanctuaries for
refugees.
She recently launched her
program Every Campus a
Refuge, which aims to use
campus resources to house
refugees. Staff writer Kent
McDonald spoke with Abdo
about the initiative.
The Daily Tar Heel: What
inspired you personally to
create this program?
Diya Abdo: I have, on a very
personal level, a deep investment in this. My parents are
refugees. They became refugees after the 1967 war, and
they left Palestine to Jordan.
As an Arab, I feel very keenly
the situation thats unfolding
now in the Middle East, especially in Syria.
What inspired this was
that, as an academic, it gets
very hard, day after day,
to watch the news, see the
catastrophes, see the atrocities that are unfolding on a
global scale and feel truly
helpless. It becomes very difficult to rationalize simply
teaching as a way of transforming the world.
It occurred to me that as
academic institutions, we
have so many resources at our
disposal. There are hundreds
of thousands of campuses
around the world that are
really small cities. It occurred
to me that this might be a way
that institutions can intervene in this human catastrophe in a way that was material, immediate, real.
DTH: What does the Every
Campus a Refuge initiative
aim to accomplish?
DA: When I imagined this ini-

and English
department
chairperson

College in
Greensboro.
tiative, it was never intended
to take a refugee family away
from the rest of its community in the city where it was
resettling. This was meant to
be a solution for an immediate housing crisis. If you look
at the thousands of people
now trapped in Hungary,
thats a housing crisis. People
are saying we cant take care
of them.
But imagine if now all of a
sudden we see that there are
other spaces in this country
and other countries that can
serve as homes for refugees.
Our idea of how much space
we have expands and changes.
DTH: Do the local agencies in
Greensboro have any idea of
how many refugees they can
expect to arrive?
DA: No, and thats part of the
dilemma. They could get
much more than they have
the accommodations for.
Thats why I think its crucial
for us to be able to provide
whatever we can.
DTH: In anticipation for the
refugees arrival, what is
your organization doing to
prepare?
DA: Once we know they need
housing for a family, then we
will try to mobilize to try and
be ready to house a family on
campus. To do that, we really
need to find the appropriate
housing. Right now, weve got
housing on campus. We will
determine at that point if this
particular place on campus
is appropriate for the family
the refugee agency asks us to
take in.

Solution to
Fridays puzzle

DTH: Why is it important for

a college to re-envision itself
as a community open to
refugees?
DA: To me, this seemed to be
a radical reimagining of what
a campus can and should be.
We think of a campus as a
place that is purely for these
student-related activities.
So to therefore imagine
bringing in a family, who are
not students, amongst us does
seem like a radical idea but
Im suggesting its not a radical idea its a place where a
campus can live out its values
to transform its students and
transform them in real ways
in their own space where they
cant look away, where they
cant be detached, where they
cant be disengaged.
DTH: In your opinion, how
can colleges and universities
make an impact on international situations such as the
Syrian refugee crisis?
DA: We have to be very selfaware of our position in the
U.S. that we are a part of a
larger global politic. There
is much to be done on an
individual level if we are cognizant and aware of our role
as global citizens and believe
that there is much we can do
with the resources we have.
DTH: Where and how do you
see this program expanding
in the future?
DA: This was always imagined for me as that a call
to action globally. Not just
North Carolina, not just
the United States, but globally. It was a very idealistic
vision, and its a campaign
imagined precisely as creating the model that other
campuses can follow. In
other words, Heres what
we did, maybe you can do
something similar.

UNC womens soccer returns to the top

The Tar Heels are ranked No.
1 for the rst time since 2013
Dorrance said. So I think were
circled anyway.
Like their coach, the UNC players are not paying much attention
to their new title as top team in
the nation.
They understand that playing for
UNC a program with 22 national
championships means always getting the other teams best shots, no
matter what the rankings say.
As North Carolina, were used
to having targets on our back, said
redshirt senior Alexa Newfield, who
scored the first goal in UNCs win
over the Eagles.
While the players are happy
to start October ranked as the
nations best team, they also
understand there are still many
games left.
The Tar Heels will still face No.
2 Florida State, No. 22 Duke, No.
14 Notre Dame and No. 7 Clemson
before the end of the regular season.
And with the No. 1 ranking to
their name, the Tar Heels know
other top teams are hunting for
their position.
Theyd all like to have a North
Carolina scalp, Dorrance said. So
being No. 1 doesnt improve that
scalp. Its still a North Carolina scalp.
For UNC, a program that has
never gone more than two seasons
between national championships,

It had been 749 days.

When the North Carolina womens soccer team walked on the field
at Cedar Falls Park to play Boston
College on Friday, more than two
years had passed since UNC had
been ranked No. 1 overall.
That was six games into the 2013
campaign a season after the Tar
Heels claimed their most recent
NCAA championship.
In a 2-0 win over the Eagles
(8-4-1, 2-1-1 ACC), UNC had to deal
with more than just the pressure of
coming into the game as the nations
top-ranking team.
The contest started four hours
earlier than originally scheduled,
and the Tar Heels (11-0-1, 4-0-0
ACC) were unable to play on their
home turf at Fetzer Field because of
heavy rain.
But the players did not let any of
these things distract them from their
immediate goal.
We understand what it means
for a team to beat us, Coach Anson

the bar is always set higher than a

top ranking.
And with two years elapsed
since their previous championship
and most recent No. 1 ranking
the Tar Heels know they have
to keep working to return to their

previous dominance.
We have to realize that every
minute of every practice we can
still improve, said senior defender
Paige Nielsen.
For now, North Carolina holds the
top spot in the country. But without

They are never together, but

North Carolina middle hitters Paige
Neuenfeldt and Victoria McPherson
are as close as can be.
While they rarely occupy the court
at the same time, the star seniors
impact is unmistakable. Both AVCA
Honorable Mention All-Americans
in 2014, Neuenfeldt and McPherson
entered this season as Preseason AllACC members and rank first and second on the team in total points.
But while the pair is equally prolific, they drastically differ in style.
While Neuenfeldt leads UNC in
kills, McPherson reigns in blocks. As
one constantly exudes emotion, the
other remains calm and collected. One
always smiling wide, the other fiercely
focused. One aggressive on the attack,
the other dominant on the defense.
Together, they form the Tar Heels
fearsome middle block.
If they try to stop one, the other
one is successful, Coach Joe Sagula
said. The fact that theyre really balancing each other is the key.
And in UNCs (6-7, 3-1 ACC) 3-0
sweeps over Duke and Wake Forest this
weekend, the dynamic duo took over.
In Fridays match, the Tar Heels
survived a series of swings in the first
set before Duke (7-7, 2-2 ACC) snagged
a late lead. On the edge of defeat, they
turned to their offensive maestro.
Neuenfeldt ripped a vicious kill
to stave off set point, piling on two
more to claim the set. UNC went on to
close out Duke in three sets, fueled by
Neuenfeldts 11 kills on .846 hitting.
On Saturday against Wake Forest
(9-7, 1-3 ACC), the Tar Heels seized
the first two sets with ease. But when
the Demon Deacons snatched an early
lead in the third, McPherson squashed

the comeback threat.

The defensive anchor denied Wake
Forest with two straight blocks, adding
a ferocious kill moments later to assert
UNCs insurmountable advantage.
McPherson notched five blocks and five
kills in the third set alone, finishing with
a team season-best 10 blocks to secure
the weekend sweep.
I told them both, the two of them
have to set the tone for us, Sagula
said. Theyre going to complement
each other. If they focus on one, the
other one can go off.
The middle blockers varying
approaches pose a unique challenge
to teams that prepare for just one
of them. And Neuenfeldts evervocal leadership role coupled with
McPhersons soft-spoken nature provide a boost to their teammates.
But the All-ACC seniors are far
from one dimensional. One leads the
team in kills, but the other rests at
third. One is first in blocks, while the
other sits at second.
I think we both play to our strengths,
but we take opportunities when we get
them, Neuenfeldt said. If I have a great
block Im going to close it and finish the

block, and when she gets an open net

shes going to put the ball away.
Each players versatility helps separate them on the court. But off the
court, they are inseparable.
Weve been through a lot,
Neuenfeldt said. Being the same position, same year, coming in together,
we can really relate to each other.
I am confident that shes the best
middle blocker in the ACC, and I
know she thinks the same of me.
And after three years opposite
Neuenfeldt in the rotation, McPherson
cherishes their relationship.
Since freshman year, we used to
always say, Middles got to stay together, she said.
We really use each other, we lean
on each other on and off the court.
Well talk about stuff. Ill text her
when Im having a hard day, stuff like
that. We have a really good dynamic.
On the court, they form one of the
most formidable tandems in the nation.
Both together as one position in
the middles, Sagula said. Its amazing what they can do together.

Twenty-two NCAA tournament appearances. Three

championship games. Two
national titles.
But its been 56 years since
the North Carolina mens soccer
team started a season as well as
this years squad.
The No. 2 Tar Heels entered
Fridays match at Pittsburgh
boasting an undefeated record,
and left with that record still
intact, improving to 8-0-1 (4-0-0
ACC) after a 2-0 victory.
Conditions were not favorable
in Pittsburgh, where it was cold
and windy. But the weather did
not keep North Carolina from
exploiting Pittsburghs defense.
Although they did not score a
goal, the Tar Heels outshot the
Panthers 4-1 in the first half.
When play resumed, North
Carolina started breaking down
a Pittsburgh defense that was
rapidly losing stamina and looking less organized, but UNC was
unable to break the game open.
With the match still scoreless in the 83rd minute, North
Carolina appeared to have its
best chance at a goal when
senior midfielder Raby George
was fouled in the box, awarding
him a penalty kick. But his shot
sailed wide, and the Tar Heels
were again left searching for a
game-winning goal.
About two minutes later,
junior defender Colton Storm
scored that goal. He went
through three Pittsburgh
defenders on his way to the center of the box before depositing a

left-footed shot into the bottom

right corner of the goal.
Redshirt junior forward
Tucker Hume scored UNCs
second and final goal with about
three minutes left, sealing the
win for the Tar Heels.

Quotable
A missed penalty kick is just
like any other missed shot. It is a
shot that did not go in the goal.
You just have to live with it and
get going. UNC mens soccer
coach Carlos Somoano.

Notable
Redshirt junior Nyambi
Jabang, who missed the first
eight games of the season with
a knee injury, made his season
debut in the 39th minute of
Fridays match. The midfielder
played only nine minutes, but
recorded a shot on goal.

Three numbers that matter

16: Shots by North Carolina.
UNCs continuous offensive
pressure and eight shots on goal
proved too much for Pittsburghs
defense.
5: After transferring to North
Carolina and redshirting in 2014,
Hume now has five goals this season, which leads the team.
0: Losses for North Carolina
this season. The Tar Heels have
four ACC games and four out-ofconference games remaining as
they pursue an undefeated regular season.

Whats next?
North Carolina hosts UNCWilmington at 7 p.m. tomorrow
at Fetzer Field.

Cayson Collins career day caps UNC comeback in Atlanta

The sophomore
linebacker forced a
pivotal fumble.
By Carlos Collazo
Senior Writer

ATLANTA The light

seems to have turned on for
sophomore Cayson Collins.
Hes finally understanding
how and what kind of impact
he can make based on how
he practices, Coach Larry
Fedora said.
In North Carolinas 38-31

win over Georgia Tech on

Saturday, the linebacker tied
for the team lead with 10 total
tackles and nine solo tackles.
(Linebackers) Coach (John
Papuchis) kind of put it on me
that I have to kind of grow up
within the defense and within
the scheme, Collins said. A
lot more responsibility is going
to be put on me.
Collins was responsible for
perhaps the most important
play of the game.
With the Yellow Jackets
ahead 28-24 and the ball on
UNCs 36-yard-line, Collins
hit Georgia Tech quarterback

Justin Thomas, forcing a

fumble the Tar Heels recovered and converted into a
touchdown just one play later.
The guys around me are
expecting a lot more from
me, so I have to step up to the
plate and deliver when Im
called on, Collins said.
And the linebacker delivered all afternoon in Bobby
Dodd Stadium.
If his forced fumble wasnt
the biggest play of the game,
then it came during Georgia
Techs next drive. Collins
exploded through the line
on third-and-two, blistering

A-back Clinton Lynch for a

three-yard loss and forcing
a fourth down the Yellow
Jackets couldnt convert.
I felt like I was in the
right place at the right time,
you know, doing my job,
Collins said.
According to Fedora
and fellow linebacker Jeff
Schoettmer, the mentality
shift they have seen in Collins
recently has been obvious.
Ive seen more maturity out of him in the last
two weeks than I have in the
two years hes been here,
Schoettmer said. Hes really

come on. It was kind of tough

for him at the beginning of the
season because he wasnt the
starter. And he took that hard.
After Joe Jackson suffered
a career-ending neck injury
against South Carolina, defensive coordinator Gene Chizik
tinkered with his starting linebackers including moving
Schoettmer outside before
giving Collins the starting spot.
He got another opportunity to get his job back and
hes taken it and run with it,
Schoettmer said. If he plays
like that, were going to be a
great defense.

With six second-half tackles, two tackles for losses and

the forced fumble, Collins was
certainly critical to the defensive unit that limited Georgia
Tech to 10 points and 51 rushing yards in the second half.
Sometimes the light
doesnt come on for some guys
as quick as others, Fedora
said. But I think Cayson will
see that because of his week of
practice, he was able to make
really big plays out there.
And hopefully hell just
keep doing that.
