In an attempt not to say anything controversial about the

LGBT community, UNC-system
President-elect Margaret Spellings
said something controversial.
Spellings, who the UNC-system
Board of Governors elected by a
unanimous vote Friday, was asked
about comments she made in 2005
when she pushed for a PBS television program that would have featured a lesbian couple to be pulled
off the air.
Spellings was the Secretary of
Education under former President
George W. Bush at the time and
sent a letter to the PBS president
saying, Many parents would not
want their young children exposed
to the lifestyles portrayed in the
episode.
I have no comments about
those lifestyles, she said at a press
conference Friday, saying her issue
at the time was with federal funds
being used.
This comment prompted a social
media firestorm, as people questioned Spellings ability to lead a
system with what they see as antiquated views on homosexuality.
To say it is a lifestyle choice
does a huge disservice to people
like me who went through this,
said Zack King, the first UNCSystem Association of Student
Governments President who is
openly gay.
I think it is imperative to educate
our kids with a full range of what
families are or can be.
Shane Windmeyer, executive
director of Campus Pride a
national advocacy group for LGBT
issues on college campuses based in
Charlotte said the term lifestyles
was troubling.
We are in 2015. Gay, lesbian,
bisexual, trans theyre people,
theyre not lifestyles, he said.
She should know better, shes an
educated woman its ridiculous,
its moronic. It shows she has
not evolved one bit in the last 10
years.
King, who is a non-voting member on the board, said it is, incredibly important to differentiate from
a lifestyle choice and what being
LGBTQ is.
The system president should
understand the need for a safe
learning environment for all students, Windmeyer said.
Despite whatever personal views
the president might hold, King said
the actual impact on campuses
would be negligible.

My #UNCcryzone: The North Carolina State Fair

By Jordan Mareno
Staff Writer

It is generally understood that crying in public is

socially unacceptable. But,
you know what? To heck with
social norms. A girls gotta do
what a girls gotta do.
If I go on this ride, I will
cry. Im not kidding.
Shut up, Jordan. Youre
being dramatic.
After falling prey to the
claws of peer pressure, I found
myself in a line of shivering
people with 5 orange tickets
in hand.
Then I found myself

entrapped in a metal seat,

hanging a few feet off of the
ground. Then I found myself
slowly revolving.
Then I found myself plummeting toward the ground
from an unknown height (it
was, like, really high).
Then I found myself in
tears at the North Carolina
State Fair.
Yes, I cried fear-induced
tears on a ride that small
children had ridden along

Stuart Scott, hall of famer UNCs Campus

Health screens
for depression
The primary care doctors screen
students for mental illness.
By Maggie Budd
Staff Writer

DTH/KATIE WILLIAMS
Susan Scott and Chancellor Carol Folt watch as North Carolina womens soccer legend Mia Hamm inducts Stuart Scott into the Hall of Fame.

Scott was inducted into the N.C. Journalism Hall of Fame

By Evan Chronis
Staff Writer

He became, for so many people, the

spirit of Carolina, a dream of what this place
could be.
Those were the words Chancellor Carol
Folt spoke in reference to the late Stuart
Scott.
A member of the class of 1987, Scott was
inducted into the N.C. Journalism Hall of
Fame Friday night at the George Watts Hill
Alumni Center.
Scott died on Jan. 4 from appendiceal
cancer, which he was fighting for the third
time in his life.
Speaking at the 2014 ESPYs after accepting the Jimmy V award for perseverance,
Scott said, When you die, it does not mean
that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by
how you live, why you live and the manner
in which you live.
The Hall of Fame induction fell on the
same day as Late Night with Roy, which
Scott hosted 10 times between 2001 and
2012.
The emotional ceremony was filled
with fond memories of the ESPN broadcaster. The event kicked off with a highlight

package of several broadcasters in North

Carolina sharing their stories of how Scott
impacted their careers.
Susan King, dean of the School of Media
and Journalism, welcomed the guests and
spoke of the trailblazing effect Scott had in
the industry.
Stuart Scott was a new voice in broadcasting, an authentic voice that challenged a
new generation of students to find their own
voice, King said.
The ceremony highlighted several
important parts of Scotts life, including
his persona behind the camera, his love for
UNC and the impact he had on so many
aspiring journalists.
Stuart Scott created a broadcasting
coaching tree, and there are now hundreds
of young journalists, men and women, black
and white, who will be true to their experience, King said.
North Carolina womens soccer legend
Mia Hamm was chosen to induct Scott into
the Hall of Fame. Hamm presented Scotts
plaque to his sister, Susan Scott, on her
brothers behalf.
Susan Scott broke the emotional tension
in the room by telling heartwarming stories
of her younger brother and by touching on

the legacy he left.

I think Stuarts legacy lives on in the
form of his daughters, in the form of what
he stood for at ESPN and through the
Stuart-Scott.org foundation, she said.
Hamm and Stuart Scott connected as Tar
Heels and were close friends for more than
a decade.
She was emotional throughout her
speech but was still able to articulate her
memories of the fun-loving Stuart Scott
that she knew.
I wanted to give you more of an insight
into Stuart Scott the man, but you already
know him, Hamm said. Stuart was exactly who you saw on TV. He was the same
whether he was in front of the camera or
just hanging with his boys and talking
about sports.
If Hamm could use just one word to
describe Scott, it would be real.
He was never acting, she said. Stuart
was real. He was genuine, and he was full
of life.
Every time you tuned in to watch him,
you saw the love and passion he had for
what he did.

Primary care providers at Campus Health

Services have started looking out for more than
students physical needs.
In the past six months, Campus Health implemented a new system to screen every student
who comes in for depression.
Maureen Windle, associate director for
Counseling and Psychological Services, said primary
care doctors screen every patient for mental illness.
Its called the PHQ-2 and it simply has two
questions, and if a student responds in the
affirmative in those two questions, then they
go ahead and give the full PHQ-9 which is nine
questions its the full screen, Windle said.
Allen OBarr, director of CAPS, said he
thinks implementing the PHQ-2 test will
help Campus Health refer patients to CAPS,
where they can meet with a therapist and find
resources they need.
We work tightly together, along with wellness
as well, OBarr said.
Windle said she also appreciates Campus
Healths assistance in finding students who need
help and connecting them with resources.
We recognize that many students come into the
health service even if they have psychological concerns, because it is easier to visit your primary care
doctor, if you will, sometimes than thinking about
going to see a therapist, so we appreciate their ability to refer students upstairs, Windle said.
OBarr said many students arent aware of all
of the resources available to them. I think its
a big university, and its hard for 100 percent of
people to know where things are, he said.
OBarr and Windle agreed the PHQ-2 questions should be asked in a non-judgmental way.
The more we try to manage those questions,
the more I think we stigmatize those particular
challenges, and the more we ask them in a matter-of-fact way, the more we acknowledge that
lots of people experience depressive symptoms,
Windle said.
Nicholas Hastings, vice president of UNCs
National Alliance on Mental Illness on Campus,
said he thinks there is a stigma surrounding mental illness and that the questions asked by Campus
Health can help students get the help they need.
I think that its very good that its being
addressed because it is something that impacts
people greatly, Hastings said.
While the PHQ-2 test is a recent addition for
Campus Health, their interest in mental health is
not. For a long time, primary care folks have been
interested in mental health and referring, but this
allowed them to formalize it by every time asking
those questions, Windle said.

Faring well at the fair: nearly one million attend

The state fairs attendance
might hit one million,
boding well for vendors.
By Audrey Wells
Staff Writer

Since the first N.C. State Fair in

1853, the fairgrounds have seen many
people, food and vendors come and
go and at the fairs end on Sunday,
theres a possibility that attendance
breached one million.
Through Saturday, more than
912 thousand people attended this
years fair. The final count will be
available this week, but many are

optimistic about the potential for

record-high turnouts.
If we have a good strong weekend, we could get to one million
this year, said Brian Long, spokesperson for the N.C. Department of
Agriculture & Consumer Services.
This would be the third time in the
fairs history where attendance was
more than one million, Long said.
Its setting up to be a good closing weekend. Whether we get to
that million mark, well just have to
see, but we have reason to be hopeful, he said
As the state fair is an enterprise
fund meaning it is not funded
by the state government Long
said gate admission is a large

source of revenue.
In addition to that, the payment
the fair receives from the carnival
company is based on what the paid
attendance is, he said.
These two major sources of
revenue help pay for upkeep and
improvements of the fairgrounds
year-round.
But to draw people to the fair,
something has to pique their interest.
We always have to strike a balance, Long said.
Vendors are creative, and they
bring in new items each year, but
we also know that a lot of fairgoers
come to the fair because they want
that tradition of getting that candy
apple, or that corn dog, or that

funnel cake.
He said they try to keep a broad
spectrum of foods each year food
vendors are able to experiment the
most with their products.
There are foods that theyll try
one year, and if they dont catch
on after about two years, theyll do
something different, he said.
Some vendors entice customers
with more creative items. Stephanie
Walker of the 1853 Grill said in their
15 years at the fair, people come to
their shop for the deep-fried foods.
The newest thing is the Fry Me
Over the Moon Pie, she said.
Its a moon pie cut in half with
three Oreos, a cupcake cut in half
and a Reeses cup all put together

and then we deep-fry it.

Walker said its had a great
response from the public so far.
1853 Grill also boasted fair favorites like deep-fried Oreos and funnel cakes.
But other vendors keep their
menu more traditional.
Steve Smith, owner of Smittys
Apples, has had the same menu
items for 20 years. He said his apple
dumplings have been his most
popular item, and he doesnt really
understand the trend towards deepfried foods.
Its full of vitamin G grease,
he said.

Generations come together at North Carolina State Fair

For some farming
families, the state
fair is a tradition.
By Marisa Bakker
Senior Writer

The N.C. State Fair is more

than good ol Southern family
fun for some families, its
tradition.
Some of those participating in the annual agricultural competition return
yearly, sometimes for several
decades. Two people, N.C.
State University junior
Catherine Harward and state
fair veteran Bryan Blinson,
have been a part of the twoweek festival since childhood.

Getting started young

Catherine Harward, junior
animal science major from
Richville, said she has been
involved in the fair since she
was 10 years old.
She started through the
annual N.C. State Fair agricultural show, a competition
in which state-based farmers

can enter their best livestock,

crops and honey, among other
categories, in the hopes of
securing a blue ribbon.
Harward began by showing beef cattle, and now a
decade later she volunteers with the N.C. State
Agronomy Club to educate
fairgoers about North
Carolina agriculture.
The whole point (of the
fair) is to come and show
other people in the industry
as well as the general public
what youre doing on your
farm, she said. Its kind of
like an extracurricular activity for us some people
play sports; our family, we
show cattle.
She said she recalls a competition she participated in
when she was 14 years old
her first in a new age division.
The stars aligned, and, even
though she was a newbie,
she took home a win.
What she remembers most
about the experience was not
the blue ribbon itself, she
said, but the way her competitors celebrated with her,
like a family.
It kind of a big family
here everyone else, even

your competitors, gets excited

when you win. It was an
exciting time to win, and it
was very nice to have that big
of family excited for you as
well, she said.
Harward said she has
younger sisters who will
continue competing in the
agricultural expo, but beyond
that, she wants to stay
involved for years to come.
I plan on being one of
those people who say theyve
been here for 30 years and
never missed one.

Staying involved
Harward could have been
describing Bryan Blinson
of the N.C. Cattlemens
Association, who also started
by showing beef cattle in
1974 and is still involved in
the fair 41 years later, though
from behind the scenes.
Blinson, from Buies Creek,
now helps produce and run
educational programs at the
fair, spreading information
about how farmers raise
their animals.
He said over his many
years at the fair, it has gotten bigger and the shows

more competitive, though

the familial atmosphere
hasnt changed.
As a kid, its all kind of big
and exciting and a little scary,
but as Ive grown and my children have shown and been
involved, it becomes more of a
family thing seeing people

you maybe havent seen since

the year before than the
competition itself, he said.
While Blinson no longer
shows cattle, his children
do a favorite feature of his
four decades of involvement
in the fair.
In the grand scheme of

things, watching my children

participate and watching
families, generation after generation, seeing the kids grow
up and seeing their kids come
back and show and compete
thats the best thing.

NAACP Youth Council gains Moxie Scholars focus

local support at Sunday rally on gender studies,
activism, history

By Burhan Kadibhai
Staff Writer

Students, parents and

community leaders rallied
together to form the first-ever
NAACP Youth Council of
Orange County.
On Sunday at the Chapel
Hill Hargraves Community
Center, members of the
community gathered in the
hopes of raising interest and
awareness in its youth about
the impact they can have on
current social, political and
educational issues.
The NAACP Youth and
College Division was created
in 1934 and has over 700
established chapters across
the nation with more than
25,000 members.
The goal of the organization is to present an
opportunity for the younger
members of the community
to have a voice in issues of
social justice and to disseminate the mission of the
NAACP at a local level.
The Rev. Robert Campbell,
president of the Chapel HillCarrboro NAACP, attended
the event to show his support
for the youth council.
The youth council is an
opportunity to indoctrinate
young people into leadership
roles, Campbell said.

Madrid Danner-Smith spoke at the first meeting of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro NAACP Youth Council.

Our long term goal is

to teach our young ambassadors the structure of the
organization of the NAACP.
We hope to instruct them on
how to govern themselves,
and help them to foster and
grow their ideas.

The rally included music,

food and a raffle, along with
guest speakers who spoke
to youth and parents in
attendance, and several performances by spoken word
poets.
Among the speakers was
Moral Monday leader the
Rev. William J. Barbers
son William A. Barber III,
a UNC law student and the
North Carolina NAACP
Youth and College Division
officer.
Acayja Degraffenried,
a first year at Chapel Hill
High School, came to the
event with her Blue Ribbon
Mentor-Advocate program
mentor Teresa Valentine, who
is a member of the NAACP of
Durham branch.
I wanted to get Acayja
more involved in knowing
about the NAACP and its
efforts in the local community, Valentine said.
Elizabeth Carter, former

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City

Schools Board of Education
member and current NAACP
member, was one of the main
organizers of the rally and of
the Youth Council.
Im excited about the
interest were generating
in the kids, Carter said. I
want people at UNC to know
that theyre welcome to join
and participate in the Youth
Council.
Anna Richards is the
chairperson of the Chapel
Hill-Carrboro NAACP Youth
Council, and was the other
primary organizer of the rally.
Were working with
groups across Orange County
to advise the youth that this is
an opportunity for them to be
engaged and for them to have
a voice about the history that
affects them, Richards said.
The council will be youth
led and youth run.

By Oct. 27, a new crop of

students interested in history, gender studies and
activism will have applied to
join the next group of Moxie
Scholars.
Rachel Seidman, associate director of the Southern
Oral History Program, said
Moxie Scholars get trained
in the method of oral history, explore womens and
gender studies in a class on
womens activism and complete an internship.
On a deeper level, we
are asking scholars to really
think about how the history of womens status in the
U.S. and womens activism
in the U.S. is relevant to, or
is changing, what they see
going on around them today,
Seidman said.
Seidman said each scholar
has an individual experience,
but they come together to
share those experiences and
grow as a group. Though
every Moxie Scholar so far
has been female, Seidman
said in an email, students
dont have to identify as
women to apply.
During the summer while
they are doing internships,
we have a weekly Friday
seminar, Seidman said. We
are asking students to be
active learners and to do a lot
of intellectual work to pull
together the book learning
with experiential learning.
Senior Anan Zhou, a current Moxie Scholar, said at
the end of the summer, the
scholars work on a final project which reflects on the class
they took, their internships
and the oral histories they
collected from activists.
We worked on a quilt at
the end of the year where we
each contributed in a way
that reflected the work we
did in our internships, Zhou

said. It was so cool because

we got really close with one
another and learned things
about our experiences that
maybe were not brought up
in seminar.
Coco Wilder, a UNC
graduate and former Moxie
Scholar, said the program
enhanced her experience at
UNC by providing the concentrations of history she
was interested in.
I wanted to study womens
and gender studies in history
and southern activism, but
the history department here
didnt have enough classes for
the concentration I was interested in, Wilder said.
The Moxie Project was a
way I could understand and
produce my own documentation and my own primary
sources. You will interview
people, and you will clearly
contribute to the historical
record.
When she was a scholar,
Wilder said she raised money
and conducted grant research
as an intern at Benevolence
Farm, a living center and
farm for women transitioning
out of incarceration.
I was pretty new to North
Carolina, and it really helped
me understand myself as a
citizen of the state, Wilder
said. In addition to just
being a UNC student, we
were working out in the community and getting to know
the Triangle.
Wilder said one of the
most rewarding aspects of the
Moxie Project was being able
to share all of her experiences
with her fellow scholars and
North Carolina.
It was a great group of
women, Wilder said. It
helped me build a relationship with the state of North
Carolina, and it introduced
history as a radical tool of
scholarship and activism.

LETTERS TO

When
life
sucks,
be silly

Morgan Zemaitis writes about
local environmental issues.

Isaiah is Isaiah. I mean, hes athletic.

Hes a strong guy. We need that down low.

Its ridiculous to tell someone you know youve

caused them disrepute, and then be unwilling
to make any effort to make amends.

Kelsey Weekman

t dinner, my family
plays this game where
we try to make each
other laugh so hard we shoot
whatever we are drinking out
of our noses.
It is called, appropriately,
The Dinner Game.
The point of the Dinner
Game is to take whatever happened during our days be it
good or bad and spin it to
make it lighthearted and silly.
And to mercilessly annihilate
your opponents.
Its taught me a lot of
important lessons. First, time
your jokes for when your
brother is sipping his Capri
Sun. Second, dont be afraid to
laugh at yourself.
The best way to deal with
stuff is to let it roll off, grab it
from the ground, tie it up in
a silly bow and kick it back at
the world. Then do the stuff.
When I have to deal with
something bad that happens to
me, I play a mini Dinner Game
with myself. Dozens of rounds
on a daily basis.
Being funny is not about
being soft or laughing about
serious issues. Stand firm in
your convictions, but keep a
gentle and light heart. When
youre smiling a lot, people
can forget you have feelings,
too. But just because you
make jokes doesnt mean you
are one.
Everyone loves a jester, but
sad clowns are always portrayed as the villains of horror
movies lurking in shadows,
spooking children and popping balloons unnecessarily.
Break that stigma. Theres
nothing wrong with poking
your head out from a fog of
laughter and buffoonery to
say, Hey, Im hurting.
Fire back at the stigma that
silly people dont have feelings
by treating people with kindness and understanding in
the first place. Its OK to help
people make jokes about their
situation, but never further
someones pain.
Kicking someone while
theyre down is the low fruit,
and finding ways to make jokes
without being hurtful requires
a lot of thought.
Thats why its completely
bonkers to me that being
funny is so often confused with
being dumb.
Making jokes can actually
be pretty hard. Its not just saying butts when a silence falls
over a room, although that is
hilarious.
You have to see a situation,
analyze it and project it in its
best light. Every joke is like a
tiny public relations campaign
for a topic.
Some of the funniest people in the world are ridiculously smart, like Ivy Leagueeducated certified treasures
Conan OBrien and Mindy
Kaling.
If you feel like you just
arent funny, embrace that too.
You dont have to make a joke.
You can just laugh. Just google
what stupid thing Jimmy
Fallon made some old celebrity do this week. Works like a
charm.
And for you funny kids, take
a breath next time you find
yourself crushed under the
weight of mishaps or embarrassment. Exhale a joke.
Do what I do relax, laugh
at yourself and know that all
of your stress will be worth it
when youre getting slimed at
the Kids Choice Awards.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Football must not

supersede research

EDITORIAL

Folts silence wont stand

Chancellor Carol
Folt can advocate
coal divestment.

here is
Chancellor
Folt?
chanted counter-protesters at Sundays neoConfederate rally. Student
activists of many causes
often wonder the same
thing. There is one campaign she is particularly
silent about. Where does
Chancellor Carol Folt
stand on coal divestment?
We havent a clue.
The very reasonable
demands of the Sierra
Student Coalition are as
follows: divestment from
the 15 dirtiest coal companies from the part of
UNCs endowment that
the UNC Management
Company has direct
control of. Our peers at
both the University of
Maine and University of
California systems have
both made similar choices.
The general arguments
against fossil fuel divestment, according to an
article in the Chronicle of
Higher Education by philosophy professor emerita
Kathleen Dean Moore of
Oregon State University,
fall into four fallacies.
One Moore points out is
the false dichotomy, which
assumes that a university
can choose to fight cli-

mate change through its

research mission, but cannot divest because it will
not matter as much.
UNCs experience tells
us otherwise. This university creates research
opportunities for students
in environmental science and city planning
that incorporate methods to mitigate or adapt
to climate change. The
University even began a
push to increase its renewable energy by working with the Renewable
Energy Special Projects
Committee to install 64
solar panels on the roof of
the Student Union.
These benevolent pursuits do nothing in opposition to divestment from
coal, and by no means
make up for the fact that
the endowment may contain investments in companies that create environmental disasters.
The chancellor certainly has areas of focus
and commitment to the
University: a passion for
research and innovation
that make the University
even more globally competitive. But her silence
on the issue of divestment
makes us nostalgic for the
leadership styles of past
chancellors.
In 2010, then-Chancellor Holden Thorp took a
stand on the Universitys
pollution footprint. That

May, he announced the

campus cogeneration
plant on Cameron Avenue
would cease burning coal
by 2020. He did so after
convening a 10-member
task force consisting of
students, faculty and community members to recommend ways to reduce
UNCs carbon footprint.
Folt needs no new task
force. A capstone project
authored by students who
extensively researched
coal divestment already
recommended that the
University should divest.
Former Chancellor
William B. Aycock, who
died in June, stated his
opinion to oppose regressive practices. Decades
ago, this university chancellor stood steadfastly
against limitations to
free speech by traveling
around the state vociferously opposing the
General Assemblys speaker ban law.
I wouldnt be doing my
job if I were always stating
my opinion, Folt said in
April.
In the face of many
damaging practices, such
as being invested in some
of the most egregious
destructors of the environment, having an opinion
would serve part of the
Universitys mission: to
foster the success and
prosperity of each rising
generation.

EDITORIAL

Step up to the lecture

Professors should
use methods that
maximize learning.

olly Worthen,
an assistant history professor at
UNC, recently defended
the lecture format in a
New York Times editorial.
Lectures are essential
for teaching the humanities most basic skills: comprehension and reasoning,
skills whose value extends
beyond the classroom to
the essential demands of
working life and citizenship, she wrote.
She is right. But in
defending it, she glosses
over the forms flaws and
mischaracterizes active
learning. The lecture is a
worthwhile component of
education. A well-delivered
lecture, especially in the
humanities, should not be
removed from higher education. However, to pretend that the vast majority
of lectures are done well
is wrong, and to pretend
active learning dismisses it
is false, too.
While some lecturers,

Worthen perhaps among

them, are worth deeming
excellent many in the
comparative literature and
history departments come
to mind the lecture
format can be an excuse
for a professor to put
up a PowerPoint and go
through the facts.
Almost every student
has had a course where
a professor has read off
slides on a PowerPoint,
while they sat in the back
watching their classmates
on Facebook. Thats not a
real lecture, but it happens
under the same name.
Also, the proven
increased test scores associated with active learning should not be ignored
in the name of a school
should be hard mentality.
Its true that time is sparse,
especially because of the
unfair burdens put upon
adjunct professors, but if
professors want to keep
the lecture, they must be as
vigorous in teaching it as
those who are attempting
active learning. The days of
not caring if your students
get the material are rightfully gone.

Active learning is mischaracterized as a scienceminded move toward the

use of technology in large
lectures. In actuality, active
learning is the idea of
engagement with students
where they are asked to
present information.
But the current active
learning push should not
be characterized by its
ideal, and neither should
the lecture. Each has
an ideal form and both
are, in practice, flawed.
Proponents of active learning are often too obsessed
with technology, and the
lecture can be boring in the
wrong hands.
The real new focus is
student learning. At the
root of active learning is
the commendable goal of
increased student achievement, something professors
should adapt their methods
to, whether it be a lecture
or a flipped classroom.
We think the lecture is
a vital tool, and students
should learn the skills that
come from it. But if they
want to keep it, professors
need to rise to the occasion and do it well.

TO THE EDITOR:
As we continue to consider the balance between
academics and athletics,
I am disappointed by a
policy that suggests football
trumps research.
My students and postdocs often come into the
lab on weekends to keep
experiments going.
I gave up long ago on
the idea that parking a car
anywhere near campus was
a hopeless dream on a football Saturday.
However, is it really
necessary to prevent my
lab members from riding
their bikes to campus?
The bike racks around the
Genome Sciences Building
have recently sprouted
nasty signs threatening to
remove any bikes parked
there on football weekends.
Perhaps the Rams Club
is offended by bicycles? It
is simple gestures like this
that remind me that sports
still trumps academics,
despite all the rhetoric to
the contrary. Chancellor
Folt biology is your
department any chance
we could change this
policy?
Prof. Mark Peifer
Biology

Chancellor Folt,
whats good?
TO THE EDITOR:
Let me be perfectly clear,
the safety and well-being
of the student body is most
certainly not a debate.
This is not about differing opinions on how
to best represent our past.
This is about the lived realities of current students who
feel actively unwelcome on
this campus.
It is not a students job to
create for themselves a safe
and supportive learning
environment.
Thats what we pay
money for, Carol.
I see that you are under a
lot of pressure; I can understand that.
What I cannot understand is the lack of action
taken by the University
Administration (thats
you, Carol) to contextualize the blatantly racist
monuments on campus
and to interrupt the
actions of a white supremacist group that comes to
defend them.
The University took
action to silence the
People of Color Takeover
the Quad this past Friday.
And yet, a rally celebrating white supremacy isnt
interfered with whatsoever?
In a message you sent
out to the University community just two days before
the racist/xenophobic
group from Alamance
County was set to arrive
on our campus, you called
the statue of Silent Sam
a Memorial to Civil War
Soldiers of the University.
Carol, if you cannot
even call the statue by its

name, if you cannot call it

what it is (which is a celebration of white supremacy) you are actively participating in the creation and
re-creation of an unsafe
campus environment for
your students.
So no, this conversation
will not stop at your freedom of speech cop-out.
We are not powerless to
these words, and they do
not give the University a
pass when it comes to jeopardizing the safety of its
students.
Because I wonder, Carol,
how would you react if this
was a group of black and
brown people putting the
lives of your white students
in jeopardy?
Where do you draw the
line?
#WhatsGoodCarol?

Spellings represents a
failure of leadership
TO THE EDITOR:
The search committee
has done their Friday afternoon dirty work, and in a
procedural coup have foisted Margaret Spellings onto
a vital set of institutions at
their ever-increasing political peril.
Voices from many corners call for giving her
a chance to see how she
performs.
This ignores her entire
record.
She entered the policy
stage in collaboration with
the devoted partisan practitioner Karl Rove to serve
the feeble-minded scion
of a political family that
also relied on the skills of
character assassin and dirty
trickster Lee Atwater.
Spellings signature
policy achievement has
been the abject failure that
is No Child Left Behind.
Her time in the public sector has been followed by
association with an online
institution with low graduation and high student loan
default rates now barred
from educational programs
of the Department of
Defense.
She has also served on
the board of a student loan
debt collection agency.
For someone who claims
that educational institutions should focus on
accountability and metrics, Ms. Spellings career
choices demonstrate that
these are only cynical buzzwords employed to provide
cover for political and commercial opportunism of the
worst sort.
Considering the collection of carnival barkers and
flimflam artists that now
hold sway in Raleigh, such
a naked display of political
brute force should come as
no surprise.
Your leaders and institutions have failed you.
Of course, you can carry
on as if none of this puts
your future in peril. The
crowd on Jones Street is
counting on it.

Student government
plans more support

Mark Furth, Veronica Allen, and Anastasia Barkett dressed up in their finest Halloween attire and encouraged audience participation.

Philharmonia gives fans a musical treat

By Chloe Lackey
Staff Writer

It was all treat and no trick.

Children of the Chapel Hill
community were invited to listen and take part in the Chapel
Hill Philharmonias latest concert, Halloween Treats.
The concert was held yesterday in Kenan Music Building,
and both children and adults
attended. Guest conductor
Evan Feldman not only led the
performers but also encouraged audience participation.
The Chapel Hill
Philharmonia, which consists of only volunteers,
hosts performers of all ages
and professions.
I think its our mission
to reach out to the community and bring them classical music, said Chapel Hill

Philharmonia President
Rosalind Goodwin. They can
come and enjoy it, learn from
it, and participate in something
that is by the community.
Goodwin is also part of the
orchestra, playing violoncello.
The program featured nine
Halloween-inspired pieces.
To further enhance the atmosphere, members of the symphony dressed in costumes,
like the Statue of Liberty and
Charlie Brown.
Children in the audience
were given a special treat by
being invited to sit on the
floor at the front of the room,
right next to the orchestra.
Orchestra member
Elizabeth Johnson said she
appreciated how each piece
had an element of interactivity and fun.
I think its wonderful to

bring kids into classical music

in an accessible, fun and interactive way, she said.
The first piece, March of
the Little Goblins by Adam
Glaser, had the orchestra members marching into the room.
Other pieces featured the
clicks and dings of a typewriter, the sounds of the audience cheering and the noise
of rattling maracas wielded
by audience members. The
Philharmonia took great
lengths to make sure the children and audience members
were engaged and involved.
Even adults were asked
to take part in Beethovens
Storm from his Pastoral
Symphony No. 6. Those with
phones were prompted to
guess what the piece was
about and send a text with
their ideas, displayed on the

screen overhead.
Elias and Solomon, sons of
Johnson, both agreed on their
favorite piece.
Pirates of the Caribbean
was my favorite, Elias said,
jumping with excitement.
At the end, Strauss
Thunder and Lightning was
reprised, and kids who volunteered were allowed to conduct the audience after being
taught how to conduct. A long
line of children formed next to
the conductors podium, and
Feldman assisted in helping
each one wave the baton.
This really is wonderful
for children, because they can
see instruments afterward and
conduct, Goodwin said. They
really get to hear a concert,
but its directed toward them.

In the midst of exam season, Student Government is

talking about how to support
students and help alleviate
some of their burdens.
The October Student
Government report mentioned
an initiative called Support
system strengthening. The
initiative is focused on creating
support systems for students
feeling overly stressed or considering academic withdrawal.
Residence Hall Association
President Taylor Bates said
Student Government is making an action plan to reach
out to students and better
understand their problems.
I think that right now what
a lot of us are trying to understand is how this problem
relates specifically to Chapel
Hill, because when you look at
the statistics on college drop
out data, its very different
across the country, as well as
across the world, Bates said.
Student Body Secretary
Paige Waltz said the
Student Safety and Wellness
Committee initiated the project. Its currently in its beginning stages, researching and
exploring options.
Theyre brainstorming the
best ways to implement this
goal of ours and who on campus we might be able to work
with, Waltz said.
Bates said he hopes to talk
to students to understand
where they stand on the
issue through surveys, community listservs and interactive events. Bates said hed
like to see resources like the
Learning Center, Academic
Advising, Student Wellness

and the Office of Scholarships

and Student Aid involved.
One concern is that many
students consider withdrawing for financial reasons, so
showing them what resources
are available and what the
University can do might help.
Waltz said Student
Government is tentatively
considering the Learning
Center and UNC Residence
Life as possible partners, but
the committee is still exploring what campus organizations will be most beneficial
in helping students.
Sophomore Nicole
Robinson talked about some
of the positive aspects that
she thinks could come from
the initiative.
I think that this would be
a good idea, because if students dont know about their
resources, theyre more prone
to drop out, Robinson said.
Having an available place to
go to and learn about these
resources and get help from
people; it definitely prevents
people from dropping out.
Senior Sarah Mardovich
had some concerns.
I am skeptical about the
program, but I think that if
it is something they find that
students want and will use,
then I say go for it, she said.
I would hate to see something funded that is not used.
Waltz said the committee
is currently focused on sexual
assault, but plans to focus on
the new initiative in the near
future. Were looking at this
really taking hold towards the
end of the semester, but most
likely the main initiative in
the early spring, she said.

HOMESCHOOLING

Monday, October 26, 2015

Like after high school, if

you have an idea for a small
business, just going out and
starting it right off the bat.
Jackie Kenny, a sophomore who has experienced
both homeschool and public
school environments, said
she was surprised by the
rising statewide trend but
pleased more students are
choosing a homeschooled
option.
She said her homeschooling lent itself to college schedules and classrooms.
In college you pick

classes that interest you.

You have so much free time,
Kenny said.
Its a lot of study on your
own, learn for your own and
take initiative. Thats basically what homeschooling
is.
Amy Chauncey is the
executive director of
Deerstream Learning
Center, a Chapel Hill entity
that provides Christianbased learning for homeschoolers.
She said the loosening
of homeschooling laws has

opened the door for more

students and families.
Some of the laws were
restrictive and prevented parents from getting support and
help that they would need
in homeschooling kids that
had learning disabilities, for
example, she said.
Now the laws have
changed, and thats a more
appealing option for parents.
Appreciating the ability to
educate their children themselves, some parents assert
homeschooling is the best

use of their time, Chauncey

said.
Kenny said homeschooling
also allowed her to learn outside of the classroom.
You have the time, space
and resources to go out and
search and learn more for
yourself, and you arent in a
box, she said.
In homeschooling, they
encourage you to follow your
instincts and curiosities and
foster what you love. You can
delve deeper into subjects.
More changes should be
pursued to alter the state

education system, Kenny

said.
I feel like our school system really does need to look
for alternative ways of learning, especially as our culture
progresses and technology
advances so much, she said.
Theres so many different ways to learn and so
many resources available.
You dont have to do it really
old-school or old-fashioned
and churn-out standardized
workers.

I would say to any students, Dont worry, there

are many protections in
place to prevent discrimination, he said.
Windmeyer said Spellings
has had a historically antiLGBT agenda working for the
Bush administration.
The educational system is
not a system that should be
partisan, he said.
Spellings, who helped
implement the now-controversial No Child Left Behind
Act, admitted to being inherently political in her press

conference, noting these are

all political settings.
Thats the fun of it, she
said.
She comes to North
Carolina after serving as the
president of the George W.
Bush Presidential Center in
Dallas.
Bush, one of Spellings
assumed political influencers, has a mixed history
when it comes to gay rights.
The 43rd President of the
United States endorsed the
right for states to decide on
whether civil unions between
same-sex couples should be
allowed when running for reelection in 2004, but backed

a constitutional amendment
forbidding gay marriage later
in the year.
Spellings, who was one of
230 applicants for the position, will assume the system
presidency in March 2016.
Current President Tom
Ross has said he will step
down in January, one year
after he was pushed out.
The board has never given
a public statement for Ross
dismissal, but many believe
it was politically motivated.
When the Republican party
took control of the state legislature in 2012, the boards
political affiliations changed
accordingly.

Spellings has a fiveyear contract that will pay

$775,000 annually and
provide a retirement plan,
relocation expenses, a car
allowance, 30 days of annual
leave and the president house
in Chapel Hill.
Her salary is a $175,000
raise from what ousted
President Tom Ross made in
his most recent contract.
UNC-system faculty
and staff, in contrast, did
not receive a raise in the
approved state budget,
but instead got a one-time
$750 bonus that UNC
Employee Forum chairperson Charles Streeter likened

to being spit in the face

by legislature at the forums
September meeting because
it was so minimal.
Spellings office in Dallas

did not respond to calls

for comment by press time
Sunday.

perhaps lack of service, that
you have provided, or perhaps
not provided.
Osae and the majority of
the counter-protestors stayed
on the opposite side of the
police railings, yards away
from Alamance County Taking
Back Alamance County.
Others confronted the proConfederate protestors.
Student Bryar Loftfield
and Chapel Hill resident
Christian Parnell said they
believe the young white people who were not willing to
talk about the issue think race
is something they should be
fighting for because its hip.
An eye for an eye makes
the whole world blind,
Loftfield said. I think its as
simple as that. Protesting
with hate is not ever going to
get rid of hate.
Mark Self, an Alamance
County Taking Back
Alamance County member,
said he is not a racist and did
not attend because of racial
matters.
The protests and the
defacing and the disrespect
for that monument (caused
us to come here), Alamance
County Taking Back
Alamance Countys founder
Gary Williamson said. We
are the ones under attack,
as far as our history and our
heritage.
Over the shouting, proConfederate protestor
Catherine Chambers began
a conversation with British
students James Ellsmoor and
Matthew Jackman.

(Silent Sam) specifically

points to the 313 people that
died from UNC, Chambers
said to the students.
She said she believes that
the monument is a part of the
Souths history and shouldnt
be removed.
I think a lot of the protestors are understandably
upset, and so its been a lot
more shouting, but its kind
of interesting to engage in
dialogue rather than just
shouting at people, and listen
to what they have to say even
if you dont necessarily agree
with it, Ellsmoor said.

Grace Garner, a sophomore who was homeschooled with her siblings

said options beyond college
are sometimes encouraged
within the homeschooling
community.
There tends to be a little
more emphasis on other
options of life beyond college,
she said.

run capped a 13-play drive

and gave UNC a two-possession lead.
Hood finished with two
touchdowns and 101 rushing
yards. Thirty-one of those
came on the touchdown
drive.
I think if they would
have spread the ball around,
it would have still been
probably the same results
..., Hood said. But if they
want to give the ball to me
and let me run, Im gonna
take it with glee and run as
hard as I can.
While it might not be the
first thing that jumps out to
a fan when watching Hood,
his mental abilities have also
contributed to his success.
Before each play, the
running back said he likes
to envision what is about
to happen after the snap,
searching for holes and sizing
up defenders before he even
touches the ball.
I try to use my mind
whenever Im running the
ball before the play, picture
whats going to happen, he
said. And then if it goes
that way, its usually a pretty
good run.
Once the play begins,
Hoods knack for finding
holes becomes visible. Of his
21 touches, seven went for 6
or more yards, a testament
to his vision between the
tackles.
But what happens when
there are no lanes to run
through? Thats when the
muscle comes in.
So far in 2015, Hood has
displayed a physical running
style. More often than not it
has taken a host of defenders to bring him down
Saturday was no different.
Hood was tackled behind
the line of scrimmage just
twice against the Cavaliers
(2-5, 1-2 ACC), and when
he was able to get a head
of steam, he made Virginia
players pay several times
electing to make contact with
a defender rather than taking
the safe route out of bounds.
I always try to deliver the
hit instead of taking the hit,
he said. Thats kinda how you
keep yourself healthy I think.
This trait paid dividends
for Hood when the Tar Heels
(6-1, 3-0 ACC) found themselves in goal-to-go situations.
With so few yards between
the line of scrimmage and the
end zone, UNC trusted its bell
cow. Both of Hoods touchdowns came from three yards
out, and each time he had to
run through people to find
the end zone.
I thought he did a great job,
you know, Fedora said. He
ran hard. He ran really hard.
But while Hoods performance Saturday was
no doubt influenced by
his number of carries, it
shocked neither his coaches
and teammates.
It doesnt really come as a
surprise to me, said redshirt
senior guard Landon Turner.
Elijahs a very tough runner.
Hes not gonna let one guy
take him down, or if he is hes
not going down easy.
Hoods physical nature has
been on display in each of the
Tar Heels seven games this
season. The only difference
Saturday was that fans just got
to see a little bit more of it.

(Dylann Roof ) went into a

church in South Carolina
and committed an insane act
when he killed those people.
Edgerton said Roof was
found holding a Confederate
flag and a rifle and the press
assumed the Confederates
were dangerous. The flag is a
symbol of the South and was
misrepresented in that circumstance, he said.
He said the counter-protesters had their right to speak, but
the Southern side deserved
to be heard and the lies antiConfederates were shouting
were impeding that right.
You over there talking
about black lives matter,
he said. The only place that
black lives ever mattered to
is the Christian white folks in
the south land of America.
Graduate student Ryan
Branagan was holding an
Against White Supremacy
Sign, and said he believes
the University should take
the monument off of its campus because it is a negative
reminder of those who were
killed in the holocaust of
enslavement.
Hey, hey, ho, ho, these
racist pigs have got to go, the
anti-Confederates shouted.
This is not something
you can fix with lukewarm,
half-hearted emails sent to
the University listserv, said
Leah Osae, one of the speakers for the counter-protesters,
toward Chancellor Carol Folt.

Isaiah Hicks

Late Night

Tar Heels
secondary
overcomes
penalties
UNCs defensive backs were called
for four fourth-quarter penalties.

By C Jackson Cowart
Assistant Sports Editor

The secret is out.

After a subpar first season on
campus, North Carolina forward
Isaiah Hicks settled into a secondary role in his sophomore
campaign, leading all bench scorers with an average of 6.6 points
in 14.8 minutes per game in 2014.
But after a sensational performance in summer pickup, Hicks
coaches and teammates lavished
praise onto the former five-star
recruit during the preseason.
On Friday, the hype finally hit
the hardwood.
Donning a new jersey and a
renewed sense of confidence,
the junior showed a glimpse of
his offseason maturation during UNCs Late Night with Roy
scrimmage, unofficially leading
all scorers with 14 points in Team
Whites 41-32 win.
Hes worked his tail off in the
offseason, Coach Roy Williams
said. We need him to score; we
need him to take the ball to the
basket and be a lot more aggressive than hes been in the past.
In his debut display, the junior
channeled the aggression early on.
Minutes into the scrimmage,
Hicks hustled to the hoop on
an out-of-bounds scramble and
slammed one home for his first
bucket of the contest one of
his six made shots on the night,
leading the charge for his victorious squad.

By Ben Coley
Senior Writer

DTH/ KENDALL BAGLEY

(From left) Kennedy Meeks (3) passes the ball while Isaiah Hicks (4) defends during the Blue/White scrimmage.

Even his misses ended in

fanfare.
After converting down low a
few possessions prior, Hicks tossed
up another shot inside to no
avail only to watch senior Brice
Johnson tip it in for his opponent.
Moments later, Hicks once
again attacked the lane and
attempted a ferocious jam. The
dunk was unsuccessful but
the forward proudly hung on
the rim as the crowd cooed at
its star performer.
Isaiah is Isaiah, said sophomore Joel Berry, shaking his head.
I mean, hes athletic; hes a strong
guy. We need that down low.
But Hicks heroics extended

well beyond the paint.

The junior unveiled every
aspect of his new arsenal, swatting
entry passes and attacking the
glass on both ends of the court.
Late in the game with the outcome still in doubt Hicks ripped
the ball from junior Kennedy
Meeks and charged coast to coast
before getting fouled at the hoop.
Not surprisingly, Hicks
who was unavailable to the
media sunk the shot from the
charity stripe.
You see a relentless rebounder,
a very strong guy (who) has a high
motor, senior Joel James said.
He can do a lot of different
things. He can bring the ball up;

he can pass; he can shoot. I see

a guy whos hungry to prove to
everyone what he can do.
In order to showcase his skills
this season, Hicks will need to
navigate a loaded frontcourt
featuring James, Johnson and
Meeks all of whom figure to
loom large in the rotation.
And while Williams is mum
on Hicks potential playing time,
the juniors rave reviews from his
teammates could be indicative of
his role this season.
Im pretty sure Isaiahs going
to find his way on the court, Berry
said. Were going to need him.

Womens soccer team eyes postseason play

WOMENS SOCCER

NORTH CAROLINA
1
CLEMSON0
By Kayleigh Payne
Staff Writer

Coming off its first win in four

games, the North Carolina womens soccer team was hunting for
another win for its seniors.
The No. 9 Tar Heels (13-31, 6-3-0 ACC) honored their
seniors Bryane Heaberlin,
Summer Green, Katie Bowen,
Paige Nielsen and Alexa Newfield
with a small flower ceremony
before Sundays 1-0 win over the
No. 6 Clemson Tigers.
But Coach Anson Dorrance
said the flowers were more than
just a formality.
I am big on flowers, he said.
I think athletics is all about
renewal and the nice thing about
a flower is that it dies so there has
to be renewal.
A part of the renewal we want
the seniors to have with us is that
we want them to stay in touch
with us. We want this to be their
home away from home.
And the seniors werent ready
to leave their North Carolina
home with another loss.
The team also found extra
motivation from lagging behind
Clemson (12-3-1, 6-3-0 ACC) in
the ACC standings. Only four
teams make the ACC Tournament
at the end of the season. Before

Alexa Newfield (88) keeps the ball away from Clemson player Jenna
Weston (20). The UNCs womens soccer team beat Clemson 1-0.

One of our mottos is we play every game for

our seniors.
Jessie Scarpa
North Carolina womens soccer sophomore forward

the game, Clemson was fourth

and UNC fifth.
The Tar Heels were determined
not to be left out in the cold.
Nielsen led a strong defensive
push for the Tar Heels in the
first half, helping to suffocate the
Tigers front line and keep the
game scoreless.
On the other half of the field,

Newfield drilled cross after

cross into the box, but UNC
couldnt capitalize with a goal.
The Tar Heels had a 3-2 edge
in shots at the end of the first
half, but couldnt find the back
of the net.
It was sophomore forward
Jessie Scarpa who scored the only
goal of the game. She received

a pass from junior midfielder

Joanna Boyles in the box and
knocked the ball into the back
of the net. The goal gave the Tar
Heels a 1-0 lead and the seniors
a victory.
One of our mottos is we play
every game for our seniors,
Scarpa said. And there was
some pressure because if we
win the rest of the games of
the season we make the ACC
Tournament.
In Greens sentimental senior
game, she helped lead a strong
offensive attack that pressured
Clemson from the first whistle.
Everyone fought and won
their battle in the field it was
just a collective team effort,
Green said. (It was) a way to
turn around our season, I think.
We really needed it.
The senior forward fought her
way back into the starting lineup
earlier this season, and ranks
third on the team in goals scored
with six. The Tar Heels won the
national championship in Greens
first year in 2012, and shes eager
to go back.
With Sundays win, the Tar
Heels moved one step closer.
UNC tied Clemson for fourth
place in the ACC.
The team hopes to give their
seniors many more games to play
in the postseason.
Dorrance echoed this sentiment.
We want them to stay with
us forever.
@Kayleigh_Payne7
sports@dailytarheel.com

During games, the primary responsibility of

the North Carolina secondary is to move backward whether its back-pedaling, turning
back to watch the quarterback or making sure
no receiver gets behind them.
But when mistakes were made in
Saturdays game against Virginia, each UNC
cornerback and safety moved forward, not
backward. They forgot the play ever happened.
So after senior cornerback Malik
Simmons committed two defensive pass
interference penalties on the same fourth
quarter drive, the secondary did forget. And
four plays later, senior linebacker Shakeel
Rashad snatched an interception in the end
zone, helping the Tar Heels maintain their
lead and eventual 26-13 victory over the
Cavaliers (2-5, 1-2 ACC).
The Tar Heels (6-1, 3-0 ACC) committed 13 penalties for 135 yards. Entering the
game, North Carolina averaged only 5.2
penalties and 39.5 penalty yards per game.
Four of the penalties were committed by the
secondary three pass interference and one
facemask.
Despite it all, the defense allowed only 148
passing yards and notched four interceptions,
a season-high.
(The players) never panic. They really
dont, Coach Larry Fedora said. Theyre
a pretty tight group. They feel good about
themselves.
When they say I got your back, they mean
it. It doesnt matter what you do its not
conditionally. They feel like theyre going to
take care of each other.
Simmons two penalties came during
Virginias second drive of the fourth quarter.
The senior cornerback said when he has good
position, he will get his head around and find
the ball. But if not, he prefers to look at the
receivers hands.
Both times, the referees determined
Simmons didnt turn quickly enough. The calls
made little difference to the senior there
was no dip in his confidence.
Well, the first one, I didnt agree with it,
but you have to keep playing, Simmons said,
discussing his penalties. Ill give them the second one because I didnt turn around. But we
always have the mentality in our mind of go to
the next play.
Simmons moved forward. And later in the
fourth quarter, he grabbed his second interception of the game.
Senior safety Sam Smiley, who intercepted
a pass and committed a facemask penalty,
echoed Simmons sentiment.
Were just playing hard, said Smiley,
describing the secondarys performance this
season. Being in the right place is everything.
On the season, the Tar Heels have limited
offenses to just 137.3 passing yards per contest
and only six passing touchdowns. Nationally,
UNC ranks second in passing yards allowed
per game and tied for eighth in passing touchdowns allowed.
Fedora said most of the mistakes are correctable and the leadership in the locker
room is carrying the team. He added even
though the play was sloppy at times, UNC
did what was necessary to win a Coastal
Division game.
Were going to point out the problems that
we have, but how we overcame them is very
important, Fedora said. There is going to be
more problems coming in the future, theres
no doubt about it. Some of them well create
ourselves and some of them the other team we
play will create it for us.
And well have to find a way to overcome
them.

UNC mens soccer clinches Coastal Division behind substitutions

MENS SOCCER

NORTH CAROLINA 2
LOUISVILLE1
By David Allen Jr.
Staff Writer

The No. 6 North Carolina

mens soccer team went into
Friday nights clash with
Louisville looking for not only
a win, but also momentum
heading into the final week of
the regular season.
The Tar Heels 2-1 win
over the Cardinals clinched
the ACC Coastal Division
and was aided by their

possession-oriented offense.
Although UNC didnt get on
the scoreboard until the second half, the offensive pressure was evident from the
first whistle.
In the first half of the
game, the Tar Heels (13-1-1,
6-1-0 ACC) controlled possession almost exclusively and
made the Cardinals (6-7-3,
1-3-3 ACC) play at a pace they
werent ready for.
Sophomore forwards Alan
Winn and Zach Wright drove
the North Carolina attack
from the early stages, carrying the ball for long periods
of time in the upperthird of
the field.

I thought we had some

great looks in the first half,
Coach Carlos Somoano said.
We did some nice things,
but they kind of forced us
into a different, more patient
game.
With UNC trailing 1-0 in
the 63rd minute, Somoano
substituted redshirt junior
Tucker Hume into the game.
Thirty-one seconds after
the forward re-entered the
contest, he scored off of a
throw-in from redshirt senior
Jordan McCrary.
The goal marked Humes
eighth of the season, a team
best.
Im looking for Tucker

every time, McCrary said.

Hes such a hassle in the box.
With just over seven minutes to play in the game,
McCrary threw in another
ball, which found the head
of senior defender Jonathan
Campbell.
Campbell flicked it
toward redshirt first year
forward Andy Lopez,
who touched it past the
Cardinals goalkeeper to give
the Tar Heels a 2-1 lead.
Lopezs goal came a minute and 10 seconds after he
subbed into the match.
I know our two big
guys Tucker (Hume) and
Jonathan (Campbell) were

winning all the headers,

Lopez said. So I just tried
to read the flicks, and I was
there at the right place at the
right time.
All of the possession
and high-powered attacking from the Tar Heels was
impressive, but it would be
the throw-ins from McCrary
to two substitutes that
would do the damage.
Weve worked on (our
throw-ins), and weve had
success with them in the
past, McCrary said. (Friday)
everyone saw why we are
focused on it.
Game after game, Hume
who is 6-foot-5 and 211

pounds and Lopez have

proved to be crucial as offensive substitutes in UNCs
attacking success.
And just as Humes size
has been important to the Tar
Heels, so has the cannon-like
arm of McCrary.
Somoano said his team
is going to try to get better
at its style of play, centered
around its renewed 3-4-3
format.
When you stick to your
guns and what you believe
in, I think you develop an
identity and personality, he
said.
