nit loosens

UNC relaxed, having fun in tournament
BY mike ehrlich
senior Writer
As North Carolina ran out of the locker room to begin
a tournament that no Tar Heel aspired to reach, Marcus
Ginyard laughed.
They were in a gym that hadn’t been used for men’s
basketball in 24 years, coming off two straight losses and
one loss from the second-most in program history.
And yes, it was only that “other” postseason tourna-
ment.
Yet there was Ginyard, who may have ridden
the season’s lows lower than any other UNC player,
bouncing around and joking at midcourt with his
teammates.
And there was fellow senior Deon Thompson a couple
minutes later, waving his arms at the crowd after UNC dth file/daniel sircar

lack of pressure in a tournament considered to be less
important. Or maybe it’s a season’s worth of lowered
expectations.
Whatever the cause, the Tar Heels have been
noticeably loose since the beginning of the National
Invitational Tournament. It finally looks like they’re
having some fun.
“I don’t know what happened, but it’s just been a
lot more fun recently,” sophomore Tyler Zeller said. “It
doesn’t really make sense. We play harder but we’re hav-
ing more fun, which you don’t really think of as going
together, but it is right now.”
The two may be more related than Zeller lets on. And
granted, it’s easy to have a good time when the results
are falling the right way.
“When you play hard and win, you have fun,” fresh-
man John Henson said. “So that’s kind of how it’s
been.”
But the causal link might go the other way, too.
Perhaps it’s not only fun because they’re winning; maybe
they’re winning because they’re having fun again.
When the losses were piling up in the middle of the
season, several players commented that it was difficult
even to face their peers around campus.
“It got to the point where I didn’t even want to go
out,” Larry Drew II said. “I didn’t want to be bothered
with some of the people. I didn’t even think I deserved
to go out.”

Lately, the mood has changed.
“A lot more people are coming out and saying we
support you guys,” Drew said. “People just telling us
to keep our heads up, not to listen to what people say
negatively.
“And I think people are embracing the whole NIT
thing also. We’re not in the NCAA Tournament — people
know that. But this NIT thing has been fun also.”
On the court, things have been different, too. Along
with some added smiles and high fives, point production
has ballooned.
Before the NIT, it had been 18 games since UNC had
scored 80 points. The Tar Heels had been held under 70
in six of their last seven games.
In their first two games of the tournament, the Tar
Heels put up 80 and 76, respectively.
“I definitely feel looser,” Drew said. “I think it’s know-
ing that if you lose, your season is done. I just want to dth FIle/Phong dinh

Freshman John Henson said UNC’s success in the NIT so far has been a welcome break from the struggles

Game, North Carolina.
That was March 20. Three days
later, Drew did the same thing.
In fact, during the NIT, the Tar
Heels have shown a propensity for
finishing close games.
The three games, all won by
fewer than 10 points, have sent
UNC to the final four of the NIT.
And while the Tar Heels aren’t
closing games out in the NCAA
Tournament, it is nonetheless a
marked change from the regular
season, where UNC was 1-6 in
games decided by five points or
fewer. “I agree we’ve gotten a lot
better down the stretch,” coach
Roy Williams said. “And we need
to continue that improvement,
too.”
T he reason, according to
Williams and his players, is
defense. The Tar Heels gave up an
average of 72.4 points per game
in their 5-11 ACC campaign this
year.
But in the NIT, UNC has held
opponents to just 67 points per
game.
“We’ve just figured out that
defense is going to win games for
us, and the offense will take care
of itself,” freshman John Henson
said.
Williams added that he’s “seen
the guys buy into it more. They’re
communicating better,” on the
defensive end.
“We have been sharper mental-
ly,” Williams said.
“We’ve been listening to the
scouting report better. We’ve been
giving better effort, even in the
loss to Georgia Tech in the tourna-
ment. In the first half particularly, I

thought defensively we were really
good.”
It certainly helps that the Tar
Heels are finishing in the post.
Deon Thompson’s .594 shooting
percentage in the NIT eclipses his
.492 shooting for the season.
It helps also that Thompson,
Henson and Tyler Zeller are com-
bining for 33 points per game in
the NIT.
The increase in point produc-
tion is accompanied by a decrease
in turnovers.
For the season, UNC is averag-
ing 15.1 turnovers per game. But in
the three NIT games, the Tar Heels
are averaging only 12.3.
UNC gave the ball away 11 times
in the first half against UAB last
Tuesday, but only turned it over
four times in the second half.
The statistics can give some
indication of just how UNC man-
aged to pull out three close victo-
ries in a season of close losses, but
it’s important to note that some-
times the Tar Heels have found a
little luck.
During North Carolina’s regular-
season struggles, it dropped heart-
breakers at College of Charleston
and against Georgia Tech.

With UNC up by three points at
Charleston, Thompson defended
Andrew Goudelock’s last-second
prayer perfectly, only to have it find
the bottom of the net and send the
game into overtime.
Against Georgia Tech, Will
Graves’ 3-point shot at the buzzer
clanged off the rim.
But as a contrast, in the NIT
UNC and Drew have found luck.
Against Mississippi State, Drew’s
layup had to clear the outstretched
hands of MSU’s Jarvis Varnado by
inches — there was precious little
room for error.
But Drew, driving at full speed
and in traffic, managed to hit the
difficult shot.
A few days later, with time run-
ning down, UAB defenders fol-
lowed four Tar Heels clearing out
of the lane. They left the bucket
undefended and gave Drew a
clear path for the game-sealing
layup.
A good drive and a little bit

experience
UNC’s post players are
youthful but learning
BY mike ehrlich
senior Writer
North Carolina coach Roy Williams has said
repeatedly that the NIT is important to give seniors
Marcus Ginyard and Deon Thompson a proper
send-off.
But in another way, this postseason is even more
important for its role in the coming-of-age process
of two key future assets.
The Tar Heels’ starting frontcourt at the begin-
ning of the year featured Thompson and sopho-
more standout Ed Davis. But with one graduating
and the other mulling over the NBA Draft Lottery,
that lineup may look substantially different next
year.
This NIT has been a preview of what’s to come,
with freshman John Henson and sophomore Tyler
Zeller logging some big minutes for UNC’s front-
court.
“Those guys are definitely, they’re the future of
Carolina basketball,” said Thompson, who will pass
the torch to the two younger post players at the end
of this season.
“John’s been playing really well as of late, ever
since he switched to the four-spot, his natural posi-
tion. And Z, he’s always been good, he’s just had to
deal with injuries and stuff like that. So now that
they’re both out there and playing their game natu-
rally, it’s good to see.”
The postseason experience is crucial for the two
forwards. Henson has never played in these types of
games on the college level. And even though Zeller
is a sophomore, he missed most of the big games
from a season ago.
A broken wrist kept Zeller out of 23 games last
year, which included much of the ACC season.
Upon returning, the sophomore averaged just 5.5
minutes per game. And in the NCAA Tournament,
the only time he played more than six minutes
was against 16-seed Radford in a first-round 101-
58 blowout.
The injury bug struck again this year, as a
foot injury kept him absent from 10 crucial ACC
games.
Keeping those absences in mind, the three post-
season nail-biters were great learning experiences
for Henson and Zeller.
“We’ve had three close games at the end that I’ve
never had the chance to play in,” Henson said. “So
getting that experience at the end of games — learn-

year when the two are expected to play larger roles.
ing what to do, what plays not to make and what to
make — it’s good for us as a team for the future and
also me as a player just getting better.”
And as their minutes have grown, so has their
production.
Henson has averaged nearly 12 points and seven
boards per game during the NIT, while Zeller has
chipped in with seven points and six boards per
contest.
Aside from their individual development, the
tandem has been on the court together more often.
If they’re to do so in 2011, this has been a head start
to their chemistry.
“Just being able to play with him and get used
to playing with him will help a lot as far as next
year going in,” Zeller said. “We won’t be trying to
figure each other out all of the time; we’ll kind
of have a good idea of what the other one wants
to do.”
After playing in a couple close ACC games, an
ACC Tournament contest and most importantly
three NIT games, it’s no longer safe to say this pair
(and especially the freshman) is lacking experience
altogether.
Their play has shown it, but so has their atti-
tude.
“The only time I feel like a freshman out there is
when they call my name and say, ‘freshman from
Tampa, Fla.,’” Henson said.
“Certain plays and certain things I do, I feel like
a freshman. But overall, I feel like I’ve grown into
a sophomore like coach said we should.”

2 tuesday, march 30, 2010 NIT Preview The Daily Tar Heel

Settling for a di≠erent kind of final four

F
or a traditional basketball
powerhouse like North
Carolina, March is as much
a mainstay as it is a month.
But as is sometimes the case
with things in all walks of life, the
path that unfolds ahead is diffi-
cult and unpredictable.
The trip to the National
Invitation Tournament marks
UNC’s second appearance since
1974 — when a conference crown
was still a prerequisite to an
NCAA Tournament bid.
Even then, the Tar Heels were
22-6, and playing in the NIT for
the fourth time in five seasons,
with the lone exception resulting
in a trip to the Final Four in 1972.
brandon staton
at the buzzer
But times have changed.
And though the NIT isn’t quite
what North Carolina envisioned
at the end of their road to the
Final Four this year, its season has
proven how valuable the tourna-
ment can be.
The nation’s oldest tourna-
ment, long considered an after-
thought of NCAA superiority, is
steeped in tradition that is often
ignored.
Let’s face it, few teams particu-
larly want to play in the NIT.
These days, the tournament
is often a reminder of a team’s
struggles, rather than its suc-
cesses — especially for teams like
North Carolina. Nevertheless, its
importance to college basketball
is paramount and in peril.
The NCAA Tournament has
implemented expansion a number
of times since 1951, largely as a
means to prosper. The NIT has
often followed suit, solely as a
means to survive.
Though it’s tough to find a silver
lining in the Tar Heels’ appearance
there, it would be superficial to
ignore the significance of the tour-
nament in general.
While the NIT has financial
motives, to be sure, it is a tourna-
ment that puts basketball, and
its fans, first. When interest in
the event waned during the ’70s,
Peter A. Carlesimo decided to
move the tournament’s opening
rounds to campus sites and local
arenas around the country.
That format survives today
and is careful not to diminish the
tradition of the NIT’s association
with Madison Square Garden,
the venue that has hosted the
tournament’s final four since its
inception.
Teams like the Tar Heels —
who have shown significant vital-
ity following an otherwise mun-
dane regular season — have used
tournament success as a spring-
board into the following season.
Fourteen teams have followed
an appearance in the NIT final
four with an appearance in the
NCAA Final Four — five have
won a national title.
And while a turnaround of that
magnitude is certainly unforesee-
able, the Tar Heels are making
better strides at the Garden than
they would be at Fetzer.
For one team or another, it
happens every year, and there’s
something to be said for that.
In an era where March
Madness is synonymous with title
sponsors, advertisements and
pregame analysis, a tournament
that’s about basketball can be a
welcome reprieve.
So, no. If you’re a Tar Heel
basketball fan, the NIT isn’t what
you really wanted. But it is what
you’ve got.
Not only is the team still play-
ing, but they’re looking a lot bet-
ter doing it.
And I’ll bet the NIT ain’t look-
ing so bad, either. Is it?

PICKING THE ENEMY Everything about freshman
Dexter Strickland is precise.
The whisker-thin mustache
just above his upper lip is always
groomed to perfection. That atten-
tion to detail extends to his neatly
trimmed hairline, where there’s
never a strand out of place.
And when he answers a question,
he’s never in a rush. He pauses to
measure his words until he figures
out a response that is just right.
Perhaps that’s why the transi-
tion to Carolina blue has been so
difficult for him.
On the basketball court, the
first-year point guard has strug-
gled to be the meticulous person
he is off it.
“It was tough at first because I
never played the point guard posi-
tion,” said Strickland, who played
shooting guard in high school.
“Roy (Williams has) been getting
on me in practice to make sure
I’m doing the right things.

game, but all I can do is learn
from them and get better.”

faced was evident from his first

“I was nervous, just to play in
front of 22,000 fans every night,”
Strickland said. “Just bringing the
ball up, always having the ball in
your hands, everybody looks for
you to make plays for them.”
But that’s not to say the former
McDonald’s All-American didn’t
flash his potential early.

team Michigan State on Dec. 1,
the Rahway, N.J., native made
the most of his 14 minutes on the
court to stuff the box score.

MAKING WAVES
‘second home’
Student entrepreneurs
balance business, class
by Sarah Morayati
senior writer
Evan Smith co-owns The Bead Store in Carrboro.
She can be found paying bills, balancing checkbooks,
running the cash register or speaking with vendors
and customers.
She’s also a senior history major.
It’s all about balance for her and other UNC stu-
dents who run their own businesses while in college.
Student entrepreneurship is far from unheard
of at UNC, much of it associated with the Kenan-
Flagler Business School.
“The University really celebrates entrepreneur-
ship and innovation,” said Ted Zoller, a business
professor and director of entrepreneurial studies.
Two companies that got their beginnings in Zoller’s
class — Raleigh outsourcing company SpectraForce,
founded by Amit Singh, and Charlotte jet service
company Jetpool, founded by Ryan Stone, are some
of the fastest-growing in their respective cities.
But it’s much harder to run a business when you
still have classes to attend.
“You just don’t sleep,” said senior Allen Mask,
who started the record labels Vinyl Records and
Thinkopation.
When Smith became manager of The Bead Shop,
she took a year off from classes. She’s back in school
this year, but part-time.
And for full-time students, like Morris Gelblum of
Sweeps LLC, which matches students to clients for
cleaning, technology and other odd jobs, the daily
workings of the business can overshadow classes,
grades and most of the college experience.
“I’m almost not a student anymore,” he said.
But none of them said they regret their decisions.

Pauper Players, UNC’s student
UNC’s first black female
undergrad reminisces
By David Riedell
STAFF Writer
As an undergraduate student at UNC,
Karen Parker never figured out how to
behave herself and follow the rules.
But because of her determination to
break social barriers, she made history when
she graduated from the University in 1965
as the first black undergraduate woman to
do so.
She recounted several experiences she
had with discrimination Monday evening in
an amusing lecture hosted by the Carolina
Association of Black Journalists.
Parker transferred to UNC in 1963 after
attending a women’s college in Greensboro for
a couple of years. Black students were often
not allowed to enter UNC as freshmen.
“When I left here in 1965, I knew that one
day there would be a lot more black students
at this school and attitudes would change,”
Parker said.
“But I couldn’t see the future and I never
would have imagined that I would be back
here 45 years later talking to you.”
Parker said that for black students, their
first few years at UNC were a fight — one
that Parker’s mother warned her to avoid.
“When I came here my mother told me
I needed to behave for the black students
who would come after me, because if I was
bad, they wouldn’t let any more of us in,” she
said. “The problem was, behaving was not in
my disposition.”
She then talked about how she and her
roommate defied the women’s curfew rules
by staying out past 10:30 p.m. on a weekday.
“There were all these rules for women —
men didn’t have any rules like that,” she said.
“One night we just got tired of it all, and we
did not go back to the dorm. We ended up
spending the night in the Episcopal church.”
Parker was inducted into the Order of
the Grail-Valkyries, a UNC honorary soci-
ety, but said she thought of it at the time as
a glorified sorority whose members weren’t
committed to making a difference at the
University. When she suggested that the
curfew be relaxed for senior women, the
other women were horrified.
“I realized that a lot of these girls fell
into the stereotype of the day. They came to

school to get an Mrs. degree,” Parker said.
“They figured they would be married rather
soon after graduation.”
After graduating with a degree in jour-
nalism, Parker worked for a few different
newspapers before landing a job at the Los
Angeles Times.
She eventually became frustrated with the
stagnant nature of the L.A. Times and decid-
ed to move back to North Carolina, taking a
dth/helen woolard
position at the Winston-Salem Journal.
She had some advice for college students.
“One thing about being young and in col-
lege — it allows you a lot of leeway to get
involved in things,” she said. “The source of
prejudice is fear and ignorance. The black
community has come a long way.”

1,100 freshmen
unable to register
By melvin backman
STAFF Writer
Freshman Avery Lee logged on
to the on-campus housing Web site
at 9 a.m. to select her room for the
2010 fall semester.
An hour later, she was late for
class and still without housing.
Lee was one of an estimated
1,100 freshmen who were unable
to register Monday for rooms in
residence halls other than their
own. Only seven students success-
fully received room assignments
through the program, said Rick
Bradley, assistant director of the
housing department.
Students unable to register will
likely have to wait until next week
for another chance.
The problems with the system
were restricted to students who
tried to select rooms in residence
halls other than the ones in which
they currently reside. Those stu-
dents were divided into two reg-
istration groups, at 9 a.m. and 1
p.m.
Lee said she called the Office of
Housing & Residential Education
about 15 times. When she was
finally connected, Lee said she was
told to e-mail the Student Affairs
division with her desired room
assignment. As of Monday after-
noon, she said that e-mail had gone
unanswered.

ready to tumble
Gymnastics team earns NCAA bid
BY Jennifer kessinger
Staff writer
Coming off a victory at the
East Atlantic Gymnastics League
Championship, the gymnastics
team is taking its preparation for
NCAA Regionals one tumbling
pass at a time.
Before heading to the University
of Missouri to compete in the pro-
gram’s ninth consecutive regionals
showing, coach Derek Galvin said
the team will be focusing on the
details in practice.
“Our goal is to improve our exe-
cution and continue to keep the
energy level and enthusiasm high,”
Galvin said.
Despite adding more difficulty
to their routines at the start of the
season, seniors Kara Wright and
Christine Nguyen will likely not be
competing their double Arabian
tumbling passes in Missouri.
Galvin said Wright and Nguyen
will be competing double pikes,
which is in keeping with the team’s
goal of having precise execution in
competition.
“Ultimately it was best for the
team,” Wright said. “It’s not an easy
routine or a bad routine, it’s just
cleaner. It was a good decision.”
Nguyen, who bruised her knee at
the team’s home meet against West
Virginia on March 13, agreed that
the decision to remove the more
difficult pass was the right one.
“I know that with a clean back-
up routine I can still score high,”
Nguyen said.
The balance beam, which proved
to be the most challenging event
for the team in the beginning of the
season, didn’t hold the Tar Heels
back from winning its first EAGL
title since 2006.
Even with top scores on the
beam at EAGLs, the team is con-
tinuing to make beam routines a
top priority in practice.
“Beam is a very mental event,
and we had to get our confidence
up,” Wright said. “We’re doing a lot
of pressure sets, where you pretend
you’re competing, to keep our con-
fidence up for regionals.”
Three UNC gymnasts took
the top spots in three events,
with Nguyen placing first on bal-
ance beam with a score of 9.875.
Sophomores Zoya Johnson and
Morgan Evans took home titles on
vault and uneven bars, respectively,
each with a score of 9.9.
Even with impressive individu-
al performances, Wright said her
teammates’ scores wouldn’t have
been possible without the efforts
of the entire team.
North Carolina will face some
tough competition in the NCAAs,
including No. 1 seed Georgia and
No. 2 Oregon State. The Tar Heels
will enter the Columbia Regional
as the No. 6 seed.
Even with two of the top teams
in the nation competing against
Christine Nguyen, shown performing her floor routine in a Feb. 14 match
against Maryland, helped UNC capture its first East Atlantic Gymnastics
League championship since 2006 with her 9.875 score on balance beam.
UNC, Galvin said the team will
maintain its focus in practice.
“When we focus on keeping our
objectives, we don’t have time to
think about the other teams,” he
said. “We weren’t focused on the
other teams going into EAGLs,
and it will be the same going into
regionals.”
Galvin attributed the team’s
EAGL victory to hard work and
dth file/phong dinh
enthusiasm, and they plan to bring
the same energy to the NCAAs.
“Right now the team is certainly
at a point where we’re physically
and mentally the best we’ve been
all season,” Galvin said.
“We’re peaking at the right
time.”

office would not know for sure
what caused it until Residential
Management Systems, the Raleigh-
based software company that pro-
vided the system, could officially
pinpoint the problem.
Kyle Hammett, a customer
success manager at Residential
Management Systems, declined to
comment on the situation.
Bradley said the University
has been using Residential
Management Systems software
for nearly a decade for housing
assignments, but this year was the
first in which the system allowed
students to pick and choose indi-
vidual rooms.
No issues were reported with
earlier housing registrations for
upperclassmen or students seek-
ing apartments in communities
such as Rams Village and Odum
Village.
Bradley said the problems on
Monday were unrelated to prob-
lems students had last month
attempting to register for other
rooms within their current resi-
dence halls.
Although some students said
they heard the system would be
back online today, Bradley said the
housing module might not return
until next week.
He said housing is working to
contact students about what might
happen in the near future regard-
ing their living situation.
“We’re not going to relaunch
until we’re certain that we’re not
going to have the same issue occur,”
he said.

“We are prepared to respond

Michigan State.
“It would be my guess that we

Services is fighting against viruses
and bugs transmitted from stu-
dent laptops to the UNC Internet
network by requiring them to
download software before access-
ing the Web.
ITS is implementing the change
in Cobb as a pilot program and
plans to require more students on
campus to do the same if it is suc-
cessful.
The new software — referred to
as Network Access Control — was
implemented in Cobb last week.
Jim Gogan, director of net-
working systems for ITS, said the
network scans the user’s computer
to make sure it is up to date with
all antivirus software before a user
signs onto the Internet.
“This agent makes sure that the
computer is safe to be working on
the network,” Gogan said
But Lucy Skeen, a senior living
in Cobb, says she hasn’t seen the
positive effects of the new agent.
“It cuts in and out,” Skeen said
Summer Language Immersion
In the immersion program, students will be
exposed to the Spanish language, develop an
understanding of its cultures, and also
achieve the proficiency and confidence to
interact on a basic level with speakers of
Spanish in the community—and have fun
while doing so!
Another advantage: Students can complete
SPAN 101 and 102 during one summer
session. The third level of language, required
by most majors at UNC-CH, can then be
completed during the second summer
session or during the fall semester.

UNC takes 15th at NCAAs
BY kelly parsons
Staff writer
The third time’s a charm for
Rich DeSelm.
In his past two years as head
coach at North Carolina, the men’s
swimming and diving team has
been stuck in the 20s. In 2008
and 2009, the Tar Heels finished
29th and 26th, respectively, in the
NCAA Championship meet.
But this weekend UNC broke
the trend, jumping to 15th place
and earning its highest NCAA fin-
ish since 1996.
Nine men traveled to Columbus,
Ohio, to represent UNC in the
championship meet. In 2009, only
four Tar Heels qualified for the
NCAAs, and in 2008 just three.
“I want to see us keep climbing up
the ranks,” junior Joe Kinderwater
said. “There were a bunch of coach-
es from other teams that were com-
ing up to us and congratulating us
on how much we’ve improved.”
With his sixth place finish in the
1,650-yard freestyle, Kinderwater
earned All-America honors in the
event for the third year in a row.
“I want to cap off a great career
here and make it four-for-four,” he
said.
All nine Tar Heels earned either
first-team or honorable mention
All-America honors during the
weekend.
Tommy Wyher, who became a six-
time ACC champion in last month’s
conference tournament, tied for fifth
place in the 100-yard butterfly and
13th in the 100-yard backstroke.
“It would have been nice to go my

Sheri≠ ’s election a hot topic
By sarah glen
staff writer
A man who’s been in law
enforcement since the civil rights
era could lose his sheriff seat this
year if a change-minded man gets
enough support.
Hillsborough police Chief
Clarence Birkhead is challeng-
ing Lindy Pendergrass, a fellow
Democrat and incumbent since
1982.
The election, which is likely to
be competitive, has caught the
attention of many citizens, includ-
ing the founder of the political blog
OrangePolitics, Ruby Sinreich. She
said she thinks Birkhead, who is
black, will gain support from the
minority community.
“There is a strong racial com-
ponent here because people of
color have had issues with the
law enforcement,” Sinreich said.
“Birkhead might have the oppor-
tunity to tap into that frustration.”

Students honor local farmworkers
By Jacob martin
Staff writer
Rebecca Clay said events this
week will shed light on a group of
people that is taken for granted.
National Farmworker Awareness
Week, which began Monday, is a
national movement that attempts
to highlight the injustices farm-
workers across the country expe-
rience in work and pay. It occurs
annually during the week of labor
leader César Chávez’s birthday.
In honor of the week, Alianza, a
student group dedicated to working
for farmworker justice, is screening
documentaries and films and invit-
ing speakers to the University.
“There is a huge break between
the Chapel Hill and surrounding
rural areas, and students fail to
recognize what happens just 30
minutes down the road,” said Clay,
co-chairwoman of Alianza.
The week will culminate in an
action project as Alianza will travel
to the home of a migrant farmworker
and build a chicken coop Saturday.
Alianza, Spanish for “alliance,”
visits camps of farmworkers in the

review board to study complaints
against Chapel Hill police. The push
for a review board was revived after
police questioned a black business
owner walking on Rosemary Street
in June 2009, mistaking him for a
black man with a criminal record.
Pendergrass said he hasn’t expe-
rienced much of an issue with racial
discrimination in the area.
“I worked in Chapel Hill in the
‘60s, and we had a policy that we
maintain today,” he said. “We treat
all people with respect and dignity.”
Birkhead, 49, announced
his resignation as head of the
Hillsborough police department,
effective April 2, in order to focus
on his new goal of becoming the
Orange County sheriff.
He said he wants his candidacy
to be for all members of the com-
munity.
“I want to be a sheriff for the
people,” Birkhead said. “I want to
appeal to all ethnicities, genders
and sexual orientations.”
He said he aims to work with
police chiefs in nearby towns to
strengthen law relationships across
fall, connecting with the workers
and their children, co-chairwoman
senior Rachael Mossey said.
The group also advocates on
farmworkers’ behalf on campus.
“Workers making food need
to be treated like human beings
should be treated, so this week
attempts to overcome the lack of
information about this, specifically
in North Carolina,” said senior Sam
Wurzelmann, Alianza founder.
The week’s keynote address on
Wednesday is a presentation by
Mujeres Sin Fronteras, a group of
farmworker women from Lenoir
County who farm organically and
are attempting to form their own
non-profit.
The group, formed in July 2009,
will speak on their members’ daily
lives, future goals and how they
plan to accomplish them.
Mujeres Sin Fronteras has built
greenhouses, chicken coops and
community gardens in the past two
months, Mossey said.
In planning this week, Clay said
Alianza wanted to gather the wid-

the county and to listen to citizen
concerns of underrepresentation or
unfair treatment.
“The more citizens we can
involve, the better our work will
be,” he said.
Pendergrass, 75, has experienced
more than 30 years of elections and
said they’re always competitive.
“You never take anything for
granted,” Pendergrass said. “If you
do, that’s when you face a serious
mistake.”
The sheriff is responsible for
working the courts, managing the
jail, providing patrols, maintaining
crime prevention services, serving
warrants and other duties mandat-
ed by the state. The position is up
for election every four years.

Subway bombing
kills 38 in Russia
MOSCOW (MCT) — The sui-
cide bombs that roared through
Moscow subway cars on Monday
were almost certainly the latest
salvo in a slow-moving war of
attrition between the Russian
government and militants in the
restive, mostly Muslim republics
of the Caucasus.
Vladimir V. Putin has been
trading blows with southern
rebels ever since he rose to the
presidency a decade ago. At
times, violence has threatened
to erode the social contract he’s
struck with the Russian public:
Forgo some of their democratic
rights in exchange for, above all,
stability.
On Monday, two female
suicide bombers climbed into
packed subway cars in Moscow’s
bustling downtown in the mid-
dle of rush hour and blew them-
selves up, killing at least 38 peo-
ple and injuring dozens more. It
was the first such attack to reach
Moscow in six years.
Man threatens to
kill congressman
PHILADELPHIA (MCT)
— A Philadelphia man has
been arrested and charged
with threatening to kill the
Republican party whip in the
U.S. House of Representatives,
officials announced Monday.
The FBI says Norman Leboon,
38, told investigators he was the
“son of the god of Enoch” and
that he had posted a video on the
Internet threatening the lives of
Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia and
his family.
An FBI affidavit makes no
mention of an incident last
Tuesday when a bullet smashed
through a window at Cantor’s
campaign office in Richmond
about 1 a.m.
According to the affidavit,
Leboon allegedly said in the
video: “Remember Eric … our
judgment time, the final Yom
Kippur has been given. You are a
liar, you’re a Lucifer, you’re a pig,
a greedy (expletive) pig. You’re
an abomination. You receive my
bullets in your office.”

attempted use of weapons of mass
destruction in connection with
their membership in a Lenawee
County, Mich., Christian militia
group.
Members of the Hutaree —
including a Michigan couple and
their two sons — conspired to
oppose by force the authority of
the U.S. government, according
to a release by the U.S. Attorney’s
Office in Detroit.
The indictment unsealed

claims that the Hutaree planned
to kill an unidentified member of
local law enforcement and then
attack the law enforcement offi-

the funeral.
According to the plan, the

Saturday mail Durango gunfire
delivery may end kills 10 students
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— The long talked about demise
of Saturday mail delivery would
become a reality early next year
under a wide-ranging U.S. Postal
Service cost-cutting blueprint
unveiled Monday that would
also slash thousands of front-
line jobs.
“Given the fact that we’re fac-
ing such a huge deficit, we’d like
to move as quickly as possible,”
Postmaster General John E.
Potter told a news conference.
Faced with a projected $238
billion deficit over the next
decade, the Postal Service board
of governors approved the cuts
last week and ordered Potter
to submit the proposal to the
Postal Regulatory Commission
on Tuesday.
In addition to cutting one day
a week from the delivery sched-
ule, the proposal would elimi-
nate the equivalent of 49,000
full- and part-time jobs, about 8
percent of the current work force
of 600,000.

The
business
of illegal
drugs
S
ome people might have
been shocked in September
when several UNC students
were arrested for selling cocaine.
And, if the charges prove true,
they probably weren’t making the
best career choice in the world. I
wouldn’t be too surprised. After
all, illegal drugs are big business.
In 2003, the United Nations
estimated that the global illegal
drug trade was worth nearly $322
billion. Cannabis is America’s top
cash crop, with a market value
greater than corn and wheat com-
bined. In a survey of more than
1,700 UNC students I conducted
through Facebook, cannabis use
was consistently more common
than tobacco use.
Laws prohibiting recre-
ational drugs haven’t eradicated
demand, as is obvious from the
size of the market. Unlike the
markets for office chairs, televi-
sion sets or dish towels, the drug
market is strongly linked to vio-
lence. But, contrary to drug war-
riors’ claims that drug use is the
primary cause of such violence,
it’s the drug war itself that’s
largely to blame.
Most businesses operate within
the scope of the law. Laws create
rules for securing property rights,
enforcing contracts and guaran-
teeing peaceful transactions.
But prohibition forces the
drug business far outside of any
legal framework. Without courts
to settle disputes or police to
protect ownership, drug dealers
must resort to enforcing their
own rights through violence.
Harvard economist Jeffrey
Miron, after analyzing U.S. mur-
der rates and anti-drug enforce-
ment, found that the murder
rate is 25 percent to 75 percent
higher than would be the case
without prohibition. Faced with
direct government antagonism,
it should be no surprise that drug
dealers reach for a gun rather
than dial 911.
Prohibition — regardless of
the substance — enriches vio-
lent killers. Al Capone’s vicious
criminal enterprises were fueled
in large part by illegal liquor
sales. The ruthless Pablo Escobar
became one of the richest men
alive by exporting Colombian
cocaine and killing anyone who
stood in his way. In Afghanistan,
some provinces had completely
eradicated poppy production.
Now, as the Taliban struggles to
fund its insurgency, it accounts
for more than 90 percent of the
world’s opium trade. And near
our southern border, crackdowns
on the sale of marijuana have led
to 18,000 deaths in Mexico since
2006, according to the BBC.
Pablo Escobar’s policy was “sil-
ver or lead,” meaning you either
were on his payroll or a target for
assassination.
But his maxim works just as
well to describe the outcomes of
legalization versus criminaliza-
tion. Drugs could be legalized,
allowing legitimate and peace-
ful businesses, like Amsterdam
coffee shops or California
dispensaries, to take the place
of violent criminals and terror-
ists. Public health could also
improve; Portugal legalized
drugs in 2001 and has seen
declining drug use and more
treatment for addicts, according
to Time magazine.
But if governments continue
their policies of prohibition,
would-be businessmen will be
crowded out by deadly thugs.
Rather than spend money
on treatment of serious drug
addictions, we’ll waste it on
enforcement that only encour-
ages dealer ruthlessness. We
need to choose which world
we prefer: the “silver” world of
commerce, or the “lead” of an
endless war.

Time to take our $1 back
Incoming administration should lobby Board of
Governors to end relationship with ASG
T
he Association of
Student Governments’
budget is funded by a $1
fee from every student in the
UNC system.
It’s about time we got it
back. Students simply are not
seeing the benefits of belong-
ing to the systemwide student
lobbying body.
In reality, the UNC-system
Board of Governors has the
ultimate say in the matter. For
instance, when UNC-Asheville
and UNC-Charlotte withdrew
briefly, students still had to pay
the fee.
But that doesn’t mean Hogan

much of the courthouse.
Ironically, the fire occurred
while the building was under-

“It’s the heart of our county

budget at this month’s meeting
— and with good reason.
Of the nearly $207,000 it
receives from 2009-10 stu-
dent fees, 97 percent of it goes
toward expenses relating to
officer compensation, meeting
expenses, operational costs and
miscellaneous expenses next
school year.
And less than 3 percent goes
back to special projects, pro-
gramming and advocacy.
Proponents of ASG often
laud the success of the associa-
tion’s annual emergency fund.
Leftover money not used
by July of each academic year
becomes a source of funding
for projects on campuses —
usually about $17,000.
But for our University, the
only tangible benefit of belong-
ing to the ASG this year has
been a $1,000 grant for install-
ing NextBus on the P2P.
You do the math. It’s obvi-
ous UNC-Chapel Hill’s nearly

The very impetus for build-
ing the current structure came
in 1881 after the roof of the
previous courthouse blew off.
According to Voller, the judge
overseeing the trial in progress
simply dismissed the accused.
A more ambiguous point
of interest is the secret pas-
sageway that runs beneath the
courthouse. It ends at a build-
ing that was once an antebel-
lum home but is now the empty
site of an old Piggly Wiggly.
Voller said no one really
knows why the tunnel is there.
He suggested maybe certain
people wanted a quick and
clandestine getaway.
As if to demonstrate the
inextricable link between the
courthouse and the history of

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Previous letter incorrectly
portrays effect of reforms
TO THE EDITOR:
The debate over health care
reform has been a polarizing
issue for well over a year, and as
it should: This sweeping legis-
lation will remake a sector that
comprises one-sixth of America’s
GDP. However, I take issue with
Mr. McDonough’s claim (“Health
care article tells only part of the
story,” March 29), that a ban on
preexisting conditions “under-
mines the whole concept of
insurance.”
McDonough’s letter falsely
asserts that people can simply
buy insurance when they expe-
rience a catastrophic illness
or accident, and go without it
until then. Coverage for the
person would not begin until
after the hospital bill is at their
doorstep, and no insurance
company will retroactively pay
for a catastrophic event. The
ban on preexisting conditions
is meant to apply to chronic
conditions, not acute events.
This unwise individual would
be responsible for paying the
bill himself.
McDonough also seems to
take issue with the individual
mandate for carrying health
insurance. This law, which
requires all adults to be insured
from 2014 on, is a necessary rule
to reduce the cost of insurance
for everyone through an actu-
arial method called risk pooling.
All types of insurance companies
are profitable because for every
person who requires payment
from the company (due to a car
accident, illness, fire, etc.), there
are many more who are paying
their premiums but not absorb-
ing any costs.
Since insurance companies
must now accept individuals
with preexisting chronic condi-
tions, healthy people must be
brought into the risk pool to
guarantee that the extra insurer
costs are spread throughout the
pool. The individual mandate
simply ensures that premiums
remain at reasonable levels for
all citizens.

Cost not a barrier to the
elimination of coal use
TO THE EDITOR:
As representatives of the Coal-
Free UNC Campaign, we want to
respond to Torrey Beek’s recent
letter to the editor (“Can’t rule
out economic constraints of coal
use,” March 26).
Now may not be the most eco-
nomically convenient time for
UNC to move beyond coal, but
it is wrong to say that our cam-
paign hasn’t been considering
the economic costs associated
with this energy switch.
To say it’s not economi-
cally feasible to abandon coal
ignores the enormous environ-
mental and public health costs
of UNC’s “cheap” coal that are
forced onto Appalachian com-
munities and local Chapel Hill
residents.
Chancellor Holden Thorp’s
decision to create the energy
task force also shows that
exploring alternatives to coal is
absolutely necessary.
The fact that UNC’s plant is
cogeneration is actually an asset,

because UNC only needs to find
ways of substituting cleaner
and competitive energy sources
like natural gas and biomass to
replace coal.
It is also worth noting that
the goal of making UNC coal-
free by 2015 has been thor-
oughly researched based on the
time lines of other universities;
Cornell University and University
of Wisconsin-Madison will both
be coal-free by 2012.
Beek also insinuates that all
schools have on-site coal plants.
UNC-Chapel Hill is the only
UNC-system school that has an
on-site coal-fired plant.
The belief that UNC can’t
make these energy changes
denies the possibility for institu-
tional change in the face of over-
whelming evidence that coal is
the dirtiest fuel source available.
With a can-do attitude, we actu-
ally will move Carolina beyond
coal.

Roy Cooper should join
lawsuit against health care
TO THE EDITOR:
People across the state are
calling on Attorney General Roy
Cooper to join 14 other state
attorney generals in suing the
federal government over the
promulgation of the health care
individual mandate.
He should do so unequivocally
and with due haste. The individ-
ual mandate is unconstitutional
and abrogates our nation’s feder-
alist system.
The weak foundation for
its defense rests upon the
Commerce Clause which reads,
“(The Congress shall have power)
to regulate Commerce ... among
the several States …” Yet the
individual mandate isn’t regu-
lation of economic activity, but
the regulation of the absence of
economic activity; a first.
Liberals can cry “slippery
slope” to their hearts’ content,
but they cannot deny that laws
mandating gym membership or
the like are logically consistent
with mandating the purchase of
health insurance.
Nor is this similar to auto-
mobile insurance because one
can choose not to buy a vehicle
and thus avoid purchasing auto
insurance. Under the individual
mandate, you have to buy insur-
ance merely because you exist.
But worse is that the indi-
vidual mandate is morally rep-
rehensible. It denies our ratio-
nality as human beings and
makes our free will subservient
to the dictates of a paternalistic
government. If someone doesn’t
want to buy health insurance,
that should be their decision;
however, they should face the
consequences of their decision.
Mandating health insurance
keeps us in perpetual childhood,
with important life decisions
being taken out of our hands
and placed in the government’s.
This is antithetical to the very
foundation of our nation.

UNC’s road to the NIT

FINAL FOUR
T
o tell the 2009-10 North Carolina men’s basketball
team that they would play in the NIT this season — in
Carmichael Arena of all places — after coming off an
NCAA national championship would probably have
drawn laughter from the Tar Heels.
But after a season of lowered expectations, that’s exactly what
UNC did. The Tar Heels snuck into the tournament after barely
finishing .500 and hosted a first-round game in Carmichael while
the Smith Center underwent scheduled renovations.
After topping William & Mary 80-72, UNC traveled to Mississippi
State to face the No. 1-seeded Bulldogs. Larry Drew II’s coast-to-
coast layup in the waning seconds put away MSU and gave the Tar
Heels a match against the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
In Birmingham, UNC stymied the Blazers in the second half, not
allowing a field goal for nearly 10 minutes. Deon Thompson poured
in 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as UNC set its sights on New
York and Madison Square Garden.

Rams o≠er balanced attack for UNC 19-16 Radio: 1360 WCHL 26-9

BY David Reynolds
Sports Editor
Before his team was matched
up against Rhode Island, North
Carolina coach Roy Williams
didn’t know all that much about
the Rams (26-9), and understand-
ably so.
The Tar Heels (19-16) have met
the Atlantic-10 foe just three times
in their 100-year history, the last
time being a 112-67 win in the
1993 NCAA Tournament.
But witnessing their 40 min-
utes of basketball in Blacksburg,
Va., was more than enough to have
Williams and his assistants scram-
bling to formulate a game plan.
“I’m scared, first of all, because
we tried our darnedest to beat
Virginia Tech at Virginia Tech, and
we didn’t get it done,” Williams
said. “I watched every possession
of the game, and I was extremely
impressed.”
Rhode Island features a bal-
anced scoring attack, with three
will not find a silver lining in it
unless he sees all-out hustle from
his players.
Williams spoke on numerous
occasions this season of a lack of
passion from the Tar Heels and said
he was frustrated that he was forced
to coach effort for the first time in
his 22-year career on the bench.
Though his team has shown
improvement in that area in the
National Invitational Tournament,
one such lapse occurred in the
second round against Mississippi
State. UNC fell behind 13-2 in the
game’s first four minutes in what
Henson called a lack of focus.
“Our goal has not been to make it
to New York or not been to win the
whole thing. It’s to try to play the
best we can every day,” Williams said.
“Every game I say let’s play our tails
off, and perhaps someone will say,
‘OK, we’ll let you play one more.’”

SEASON RECAP: UNC started the season No. 6 in the AP Poll and knocked off a pair
of highly ranked opponents — Ohio State and Michigan State — in non-conference play.
But a rash of losses during ACC play knocked the Tar Heels out of the rankings and out of
the NCAA Tournament. North Carolina has played some of its best basketball in the NIT,
however, where it looks as though UNC is finally beginning to have some fun.
OUTLOOK: Tournament champion
SEASON RECAP: Rhode Island won 19 of its first 22 matchups, including a 63-59
victory against Oklahoma State, a seven-seed team in the NCAA Tournament. After a 9-7
finish in the Atlantic 10 Conference, Rhode Island lost the conference championships to
Temple in its third fall to the Owls this season and earned a spot in the NIT.
OUTLOOK: Semifinals exit

(3) DAYTON (2) OLE MISS

NICKNAME: Flyers NICKNAME: Rebels
COACH: Brian Gregory, seventh year at Dayton COACH: Andy Kennedy, fourth year at Ole Miss

RECORD: 23-12 RECORD: 24-10

HOW THEY GOT HERE: 63-42 W v. Illinois HOW THEY GOT HERE: 84-65 W v. Troy,

KEY PLAYERS: F Chris Wright, 13.8 ppg, 7.1
rpg, F Chris Johnson, 11.5 ppg, 6.8 rpg
SEASON RECAP: Dayton started the season
13-3 before losing nine of its next 16 games. The Flyers boasted the nation’s 32nd tough-
est schedule and an RPI rating of 55. Of the Flyers’ 12 losses, eight were against top-50
opponents. Some of those teams include Villanova, Kansas State and Xavier, and all three
of those losses were by eight points or fewer. But Dayton also recorded some strong wins.
The team beat Georgia Tech and later blew out Xavier, 90-65. But Xavier would later
avenge that loss in the Atlantic 10 quarterfinals, beating Dayton 78-73. That loss sent the
Flyers to the NIT, where they have won three straight games.
KEY PLAYERS: F Chris Warren, 17.3 ppg, .408
3-pt. percentage, G Murphy Holloway, 10.1 ppg, 7.7
rpg
SEASON RECAP: In its fourth game of the sea-
son, Ole Miss topped Elite 8 contender Kansas State
at a neutral site — the Rebels’ only quality win. The
Rebels won the SEC West Division crown despite
dropping seven games in conference. Not one of their nine wins in the SEC was noteworthy.
A first round bye in the SEC Tournament gave the Rebels a match against Tennessee for a
second time that season, but lost 76-65, ending their outside shot of making the Big Dance.

OUTLOOK: Semifinals exit OUTLOOK: Tournament runner-up
