President Joe Biden told state resi-
dents Thursday.
Biden toured CREE Inc. —
a LED lighting manufacturing
company that received tax credits
through the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act in January
— and discussed the need for repli-
cating the company’s success across
the country.
CREE hired 375 workers as a

we do here,” Broome said.
Biden said the administration is
pushing Congress to extend the tax
credits in the Recovery Act from
$2.3 billion to $5 billion so more
companies like CREE can expand
and boost the economy.
“Look, this is working, and we
can make it work even better,”
Biden said. “We’ll get our money
back in spades. This is to spark job
creation today and inspire innova-
tion for tomorrow.”
Biden discussed the ongoing
clean-energy projects across the
country that are aimed at rebuild-
ing the economy.
“We don’t want to be exporting
jobs anymore. We want to produce
more stuff here in America. That’s
what it’s about,” he said.
Biden said 62,000 jobs were
created in the state as a result of
possible
nomic structure, he said.
“We need big. We need bold. We
need ideas that are going to trans-
form how our economy works in
the future,” he said.

would borrow directly through the
U.S. Department of Education.
Private lenders could still offer
non-government loans.
The legislation is expected to
save the government $67 billion
in 10 years, said U.S. Rep. Tim
Bishop, D-N.Y., in a conference call
earlier this week.
This figure is less than the $87
billion originally projected.
Democrats are packaging
together the health care and fed-
eral financial aid system reforms in
Congress in order to bolster both
bills’ chances of passage through a
process called reconciliation.
After the reconciliation process,
the bills can pass with a simple
majority vote in the Senate.
The bills packaged together will
be revenue-neutral, which means
that they would not increase the
federal deficit.
The remaining money is
expected to bolster Pell Grants,
which provide need-based aid to
low-income students, and other
initiatives.
The House passed a version of
the student loan bill earlier this
year, but it will have to consider
a new version in light of the new
estimates and the reconciliation
process.
“This measure is about directing
precious resources directly to stu-

Joe Courtney, D-Conn., during a

Q&A: Herring discusses today’s

The Daily Tar Heel staff writer
Sam Jacobson had a chance to
talk to artist-in-residence Oliver
Herring. On Saturday, Herring
will lead a group through a TASK

TASKS below.
Daily Tar Heel: Talk

cussed the possibility of the tal-

sports at UNC.
Renner was also coming off the
basketball season, where he led the
state in scoring his junior year. A
Elite 11 quarterback, he was scout-
ed by a College World Series coach
while scorching the nets on the
hardwood. Would he be interested
in suiting up in the Smith Center?
“Not at all. That’s a little too
much,” he said.
Ball and stick sense
Alongside Yates, Renner spent
hours practicing on the field and
watching film during the football
season. He donned his No. 2 jersey
every game but didn’t have a single
grass stain to show for it. For the
first time in his life, Renner was on
the bench.
But he learned constantly
while on the sidelines for North
Carolina’s 13 games and believes
that his redshirt season only made
him better.

“We love watching him play, and we’re

hits, we’re all football here.”
John Shoop, offensive Coordinator
Renner said. “It’s good going behind
the scenes and just watching.”
After UNC ’s 19-17 loss to
Pittsburgh in the Meineke Car Care
Bowl, Renner could turn his atten-
tion to the baseball team, which
had worked around his schedule
all season. This semester, he began
practicing with Coach Fox’s club but
did not give up football completely,
despite being out of season.
Earlier in the season, Renner
would begin his day at 6 a.m. with a
run and weight lifting. After classes
were done at 11, he would hit with
the baseball team and work on fun-
damentals before tossing the pig-
skin at unofficial football practices.
He’s appeared in only eight
games this season, but has two
hits and three RBIs in nine at-bats.
Renner’s presence with the team
was cut short recently with the
start of spring football practice.
“I like guys who have ball and
stick sense,” said Shoop, who played
both baseball and football during
his collegiate years. “We love watch-

and that need trumps the catego-
ries of whether it is art or not.
There was a need. I responded
to it, and if I was a doctor or law-
yer I would probably do something
similar, except with a different
avenue.
Ultimately, it’s about trying to
be a responsible citizen or human
being.

we’re all football here.”
Double duty
This isn’t the first time one of
Davis’ players has shared duties with
another squad on campus. Two years
ago, cornerback Kendric Burney
played under Coach Fox as a right
fielder and relief pitcher, appearing
in 11 games for the Tar Heels.
Although Davis and his staff
have been supportive of his play-
ers taking opportunities with other
clubs, he did not always see it as a
positive.
“It certainly didn’t help Kendric,
but they play totally different posi-
tions,” Davis said. “Kendric needed
to work on speed; he needed to
work on size and strength because
of tackling. I mean, we’re not going
to ask Bryn to do a whole lot of
tackling, I don’t think.”
Wide receiver Greg Little is
another multi-sport athlete, having
donned argyle for Roy Williams’
squad two seasons ago. He believes
that Renner bringing over the
baseball team’s winning mentality
will do nothing but help the foot-
ball team.
“It gives you that diversity of
being with two programs and being
able to incorporate some things
that they do, because they’re a win-
ning program also,” Little said.
Fox admitted that Renner was
behind his baseball teammates
because he didn’t participate in the
fall. But his slower development as

Herring: I operate from
the belief that art can be actually
useful. (laughs) Not to say that an
inanimate object in a museum isn’t
useful.
I’ve had very useful experi-
ences and educational experiences
with that. But I think they need
to be more interactive, engaging,
adventurous, open-ended, messy,
paradoxical experience with art,
because art at its best can provide
exactly that. It can provide these
really amazing outlets. And I don’t
think there are enough of them, so
that’s what satisfies me.
I will be a very happy person at
the end of this TASK, not because
I get anything out of it materially,
but because I know that it works
as a tool.
I know that some people who
participate will really get some-
thing out of it. It will really change
part of their perspective on art;
also, in terms of how they can func-
tion socially with each other, and
that’s just an amazingly satisfying
worthwhile experience to have. I
live for these moments.

Facebook
M
y senior year of college,
the student newspaper
announced that a new
Web site called “thefacebook.
com” was open to our campus
community.
With a few clicks of a mouse,
I became part of the first
50,000 users — now only a
small drop in the 400 million-
person networking tsunami that
exists today.
But two years ago this month,
Facebook and I broke up. I’m not
sure if the news feed announced
it. But I do know that of my hun-
dreds of friends, only two noticed
that I left.
Why leave? I’m sure you could
name a few reasons. It was a
time suck. Nothing really came
of it. I felt like a voyeur. I was
seeing weddings I wasn’t invited
to, finding out about parties
with people I didn’t know and
befriending people I just met.
More than the looking itself,
it was the drive to keep looking
that turned me off. I imagined
people looking at my page.
Worse yet, I imagined people
not looking at my page. It was
like “Rear Window,” except I
never looked as good as Grace
Kelly.
I enjoyed seeing old friends,
but I realized that I didn’t feel
closer to any of them. I just
got the gossip on them — what
they were doing and where they
were. I didn’t talk to them. I
didn’t write them. I just looked
at them. And their friends.
And their family. And their
Christmas photos. And their
ultrasounds.
My mother tells me stories
of her old boyfriends, with the
emphasis on old. In the past.
Incommunicado.
Any curiosity about what
they are up to now is met with a
shrug and a sigh.
But now with Facebook, no
one is allowed to let go of the
past. Once we graduate, break up
or search for a clean slate, some
friends stick around like party
guests that won’t leave.
And while we’re glued to the
past, we’re not allowed to step
into the future either.
What once was unknown
can be known with a click of
Google’s search button. I once
met a guy and thought, “Don’t
I know you from somewhere?”
and realized that somewhere
was Facebook.
He was married to an old
middle-school friend of mine. I
wanted to say, “The honeymoon
in St. Bart’s looked fun!” but that
would have been weird.
Of course, Facebook has also
been a fantastic way to bring
people together. But for me, I
wasn’t getting a chance to move
on.
The more I was looking into
the other worlds and comparing
it to mine, the less connected I
felt to it all.
Since then, I’ve started
graduate school, and I might
have missed a gathering or two
announced among Facebook
friends, but now I like the idea
that if someone wants to get to
know me, they’re going to have to
work for it. It’s like an automatic
screening test for seriousness and
loyalty.
You’re going to have to ask
me — in person — my age and
hometown, my religion and
political affiliation. I’ll show you
my favorite movies and play you
my favorite songs. I’ll share my
photos with you and tell you
about my wonderful friends. I’ll
add you to my personal — for
my eyes only — collection and,
if need be, I will let you move on
and grow up.
And I’m finally living the life
I’d love to put on Facebook.

Let’s find the best way to address gender inequities
W
e got a visit Thursday
night from a few
dozen people who
delivered letters and a petition
asking The Daily Tar Heel to
change its style guide.
They would like to see us
use the word “chair” instead
of “chairman” or “chairwom-
an,” and “upper-level student”
instead of “upperclassman,” in
order to be more inclusive.
I agree completely with them
that there is much work to be
done in eliminating violence
and discrimination against
women. And discrimination
against people uncomfortable
being labeled male or female is
definitely a pressing issue.
We have covered these
issues extensively on our
Bidding to better N.C.
Allowing North Carolina companies to match bids
from out-of-state firms on contracts will provide a boost
G
ov. Bev Perdue’s initia-
tive to support North
Carolina-based busi-
nesses by giving them an
advantage when bidding on
state government contracts is
a great way to sustain a posi-
tive rate of growth, particularly
during trying economic times.
Last month, Perdue signed
Executive Order No. 50, which
introduces a procedure that
provides North Carolina busi-
nesses with the opportunity to
match the price of out-of-state
company bids if the out-of-
state business’s bids are the
lowest.
During the standard sub-
mission and review process, all
proposed bid amounts are con-
fidential and undisclosed until
a selection has been made.

But this year, at least, we

Principles of competition are
heavily emphasized in selection
guidelines that North Carolina
uses when it purchases goods
and services.
As a result of Perdue’s new
order, the government allows
in-state businesses whose orig-
inal bids are within a 5 percent
or $10,000 range of the lowest
bid the opportunity to match
it, provided that the lowest bid
has been offered by an out-of-
state business.
Thus, North Carolina busi-
nesses are given a slight compet-
itive advantage when bidding on
state government contracts.
In today’s tough market, busi-
nesses are scrambling for cus-

costs, and they are more inclined

Perdue’s move to give in-state
businesses the opportunity to
match lower out-of-state offers
will ensure continued growth
by providing revenue to North
Carolina companies and, in
turn, helping stave off further
job losses within the state.
This is particularly impor-
tant when the state is receiv-
ing federal stimulus money.
Creating a contractual advan-
tage for state businesses is nec-
essary to make sure economic
benefits are contained within
the state.

ensure that taxpayer dollars

The census is constitution-

It affects how many legis-

House of Representatives.
And it can help determine
how much money the federal
government distributes for

programs, medical care, pub-

of the core government func-

The point of the census is
to get an accurate snapshot of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
UNC must work to end
coal use before year 2050
TO THE EDITOR:
Events this week illustrate that
on the issue of coal, Chancellor
Holden Thorp is increasingly
out of touch with the values of
the students, the community and
the leadership of the campus’
neighboring towns.
The Daily Tar Heel wrote a
strong editorial Wednesday point-
ing out that the continued use of
coal is a luxury we enjoy at the
expense of the environment and
the less fortunate (“Dependency
theory,” March 17).
The Sierra Club’s Coal Free
Campus campaign also rallied
Wednesday and continues to grow.
Two separate community groups
have presented petitions to the
town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro
asking those cities to pass resolu-
tions demanding that UNC cease
burning coal by 2015, 35 years
before UNC’s current goal.
Tuesday night, Carrboro’s
town council passed the reso-
lution unanimously. Alderman
Sammy Slade said that the
University has an ethical duty to
take leadership on this issue. Yet
Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine
ranked UNC fifth among south-
east schools for sustainability —
behind Duke and N.C. State —
because the University continues
to burn coal. Chancellor Thorp
has appointed an energy task
force, but its mandate is weak.
Rather than being appointed
to study the issue, the task force
should be charged with immedi-
ately formulating a plan that will
move UNC off coal as soon as pos-
sible, not later than 2015.
For the sake of the school’s
reputation and the good will of
the community, the University
can not afford to be increasingly
out of touch on this issue.

Tunnel will help visitors
contemplate oppression
TO THE EDITOR:
Eleven million people died in
the Holocaust, roughly 300,000
in Darfur have died since 2003,
and the world is still watching.
With such overwhelming figures,
do you think we will ever see the
light at the end of the tunnel?
This year, the Residence Hall
Association and the National
Residence Hall Honorary, along
with other organizations on
campus, have come together to
prepare UNC’s first Tunnel of
Oppression. The tunnel is an
interactive, multimedia tour
designed to challenge people’s
ideas and perceptions of dif-
ferent forms of oppression on
both a local and global scale. It
aims to break down the barri-
ers that divide those who might
not understand oppression and
those who live it everyday.
The event, free of charge, will
be held Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday in Cobb Community
with tours starting at 5:50 p.m.
and running every 20 minutes
until 9:00 p.m. Registration closes
soon, so be sure to register at tun-
nel.unc.edu.
