Body in Odum Village
identified as law student
By melvin backman
STAFF Writer
Eric Bryant, a law student who was set to grad-
uate in December 2010, was described by class-
mates Thursday as a friendly, kind individual.
Bryant, who also attended UNC as an under-
graduate, was identified as
the individual who died in
an Odum Village apartment
Wednesday. He was 25.
Bryant spent his first year
of law school at the Moritz
College of Law at Ohio State
University and transferred
to the UNC School of Law in
2008.
Eric Bryant, David Brown, a second-
25, was year law student and presi-
found dead dent-elect of the law school’s
Wednesday at Student Bar Association,
described Bryant as “a good,

friendly, all-around nice per-
son.”
Brown, who shared a class with Bryant, said
that other students had not seen him in class
this week and that he was shocked by the news
of Bryant’s death.
“It completely caught me by surprise,” he
said.
Brown said the Student Bar Association has
been speaking with Bryant’s family about how
best to respect his memory.
“We’re all torn up and want to do something,”
he said.
Members of the Student Bar Association will
meet with law school administrators Monday to
determine the best course of action for remem-
bering their former classmate, Brown said.
Bryant’s body was found in his apartment
Wednesday. Alert Carolina released a statement
at 11:46 a.m. that day announcing the death.

Three lacrosse freshmen prepare to step up
BY Aaron taube
staff writer
Every day at practice, freshman mid-
fielders Kara Cannizzaro, Emily Garrity
and Jessica Griffin help lug the team’s goal
cages to and from Navy Field. Although this
sort of chore is one asked of rookie lacrosse
players everywhere, these freshmen are
there for more than just grunt work.
With the imminent departure of All-
ACC senior midfielders Megan Bosica
and Jenn Russell, coach Jenny Levy’s
high-energy newcomers are putting in
what she likes to call “mental minutes” in
preparation for the more prominent roles
they will take on next season.
If all goes according to plan, they won’t
be carrying cages anymore — they’ll be
carrying the team.
There’s no doubt these freshmen have
big shoes to fill. Bosica and Russell are
both captains along with fellow senior
attacker Kristen Taylor and were named
third and first team All-America, respec-
tively, last season.
What’s more, they are winners, having
presided over some of the most successful
seasons in the program’s 14-year history,
including last year’s run to the program’s
first ever national championship game.
But if anyone is equipped to take the
reins, it’s this trio of Under Armour All-
Americans.
“We do a really good job in our recruit-
ing process of finding top talent,” Levy
said. “We’re really confident in what we
do.”

Empty spots on boards and

The vast majority of volunteer
boards and commissions that
advise Chapel Hill government
don’t have enough members.
The town is looking for applicants
to fill 85 empty spots on 22 boards
and commissions. The spots come
from a combination of term expira-
tions and already unfilled seats.
Members of the groups take the
workload off the Chapel Hill Town
Council. But the fact that members
do not get paid could discourage
applicants, council member Penny
Rich said.
“It’s not that easy to get people
to volunteer, and you aren’t getting
paid for it,” said Rich, who served
on the Orange Water and Sewer

six years. “Some boards meet more
than once a month, and that can

That confidence is shared by
the players themselves. All three
described themselves as having
strong personalities, and they share
an intensely competitive nature
that drew Levy’s attention while
they were in high school.
Sometimes, however, this com-
petitiveness can cause problems,
as it did during the team’s dis-
tance runs at fall practice. When
Cannizzaro and Griffin, both of
whom ran cross country in high
school, would consistently finish
near the front of the pack during
the first week of practice, Garrity
became increasingly frustrated.
“‘All those guys who ran cross
country, they have an edge,’” Levy
recalled Garrity telling her after
practice one day. “‘I don’t know
how to do what they’re doing
right now on the cross country
course.’”
Where a lesser competitor
might have seen her teammates’
prior experience as an excuse to
give up, Garrity instead saw room
for improvement. By November,
she had won her first distance
contest.
“There’s only so many spots on
the field, so everyone pushes each
other every single day,” Garrity
said. “We’re also very encouraging.
We’re very supportive of each other,
so when someone does well, every-
one’s happy for them.”
For a group of hyper-competi-
tive athletes struggling for playing
time, the three are remarkably close
friends off the field. Cannizzaro
and Griffin live together in a room
they’ve dubbed “the Lax Pad” in
reference to its lacrosse-themed
decor. There, Garrity is a frequent

“Grey’s Anatomy” nights.
When the trio went out to din-
ner with the rest of the team’s
freshmen a few weeks ago, their
laughter drew stares from other
customers.
“We’re kind of weird,” Griffin
said. “We’re fun, though.”
Although the laughs are occa-
sionally broken up by the sorts
of arguments you’d expect from
a group of women who are con-
stantly in competition, they said
things always turn out all right in
the end.
“Sometimes we’ ll get a little
mad, and there’ll be a little push-
ing and then a little yelling at each
other,” Cannizzaro added. “But
then we walk away and cool down,
and we’re good.”
They also spend a good deal of
time around the team’s seniors,
who have taken an interest in pre-
paring their future replacements
for their eventual departure. More
than anything else, Levy said she
hopes her seniors will be able to
pass down their work ethic to the
next generation.
“Jenn Russell, Kristen Taylor and
‘Cookie’ Carr — every day they’re
physically and mentally focused,
prepared and competing at a really
high level and demanding that of
others,” Levy said.
The veterans have helped their
protégées adjust to college life off
the field as well. From the day the
freshmen arrived on campus, the
seniors have welcomed them with
open arms — offering everything
from car rides to advice on which
classes to take.
“ They’re great people, and
they’re a great addition to our
team,” Russell said. “We’re happy
that they came here.”

dated Russell’s praise. Garrity,

a highly-touted recruit from
Rutledge, Pa., has parlayed superb
lacrosse instincts into a spot in the
starting lineup. Although she has
not been expected to score given
the potency of the offensive weap-
ons surrounding her, Garrity has
still managed to find the back of
the net 12 times in 11 games.
“Some of the stuff that she natu-
rally does is something that some
kids never learn in four years,” Levy
said.
Both Cannizzaro and Griffin
have received significant playing
time off the bench this season.
Cannizzaro has been commended
by Levy for her scrappy play and
leads the team with 12 caused
turnovers.
Griffin’s game is the least pol-
ished of the three, in part due to the
relatively little amount of coaching
she received in her hometown of
Sudbury, Mass. But her size, speed
and strength offer her an opportu-
nity to make up this ground rather
quickly.
In practice, she has tied junior
attacker Corey Donohoe for the
highest eight-meter shooting per-
centage on the team, a feat Levy
said she has never seen before from
a freshman.
“Athletically, she’s just a freak
of nature,” Levy said. “She moves,
she’s big, she’s strong.”
But there’s work yet to be done.
Russell said the freshmen are still
adjusting to playing defense at the
college level, where the opposition
is stronger and faster than the play-
ers they took on in high school. Levy
wants them to get better at moving
the ball through the air instead of
trying to run past defenders.
“We’re trying to hold them
accountable, to not allow them to
make too many errors of the same
kind,” Levy said.
Although they are held to high
standards, the next generation of
North Carolina midfielders still
comes back every day to drag the
goals out onto the field before
practice and pick the balls up off it
at the end. In between, they push
one another to get a little bit bet-
ter every time out, logging game
experience and “mental minutes”
all along the way.
“Sometimes they walk off and
they’re a little frustrated,” Levy
said. “And there’s other times they
walk off, and they feel like they’ve
gotten on another rung of the lad-
der where they’re like, ‘OK, I’ve got
that one. I can move on to the next
step.’”

Panel discusses Swimmers grapple with pool closures

modern warfare for club teams
Practices limited

By haley sklut Gen. James By Mary Withers

STAFF Writer
This isn’t your grandfather’s war.
But that doesn’t mean the mili-
tary should change its relationship
with the public.
That was the focus of a panel
discussion that originated in
London and made its way to UNC
on Thursday.
The discussion, “War and
Mi l i t a r y O p e rat i o n s i n t h e
21st Centur y: Civil-Militar y
Implications,” drew both uniformed
and non-uniformed students as
well as community members from
UNC, Duke and N.C. State.
It was part of a two-day confer-
ence sponsored by the UNC’s cur-
riculum in peace, war and defense
and the department of war studies
at King’s College London, in part-
nership with the Triangle Institute
for Security Studies.
The talk focused on the chang-
ing characteristics of warfare,
which have brought about an idea
known as “new wars.”
“Key features of these new
wars can be placed in two broad
categories: low-technology and
high-technology,” said James Gow,
professor of international peace
and security and director of the
International Peace and Security
Program at King’s College.
Electronic and rapid com-
munication now define warfare
for industrialized countries, but
panelists said the nature of war is
unchanged.
“It cannot change,” said Gen.
James Mattis, commander of the
U.S. Joint Forces Command. “It is

commander

Joint Forces
Command,
spoke Thursday.
what it is. We’re going to have to
deal with it. The character of war,
however, is changing.”
Mattis said modern opponents
are shifting to irregular warfare,
taking advantage of western coun-
tries’ weaknesses.
Since the 1990s, militar y
researchers have focused on the
changing nature of warfare, said
Hew Strachan, professor of the his-
tory of war at Oxford University.
“We, as a democratic state,
should see new forms of commu-
nication and other changes as good
news,” he said, instead of seeing
them as a threat.
It’s about how to manage change,
since we already know change will
happen, Strachan explained.
“It was interesting how keeping
the state involved with military is
so important,” said Elias Ballew,
who is a student in the Navy ROTC
program at N.C. State.
Students said they thought
Mattis — who brought hands-on
experience to the discussion — was
the biggest attraction.
“I belong to the American peo-
ple,” Mattis said. “I’m accountable
to the American people.”

County government Recognizing Apples

faces budget deficit

Nonprofit funding to be examined
By Olivia Barrow
Staff Writer
Facing a $3.9 million decrease
in revenue next year, the Orange
County Board of Commissioners
said Thursday that the first non-
profit organizations to receive
funding will be the ones that assist
county residents.
Assistant County Manager Gwen
Harvey insisted at the meeting
that all existing funding was being
examined in considering which
nonprofits will receive funding.
Because some of the organiza-
to nonprofit organizations so the
conversations about what to fund
could be more productive.
The board also discussed how to
deal with the county’s more than
$13 million projected budget defi-
cit for the next fiscal year.
Clarence Grier, the county
financial services director who
reviewed the budget with the
board, said that although prop-
erty tax collection rates are up
from this time last year, the coun-
ty did not receive the $2.6 million

commissioners said.
“Those organizations that work
to promote the health, safety and
welfare of the county’s residents
are the ones we should look first
to make sure we can fund at the
level we have,” Chairwoman Valerie
Foushee said.
Frank Clifton, the county man-
ager, said in the meeting that if the
public won’t support an agency
through donations, the board
needs to consider whether the
Orange County government should
continue to finance it.
Foushee said the board should
set a date to discuss the county’s
purpose in making contributions
expected from the state.
“The state is being brutal,”
Clifton said in the meeting. “They
have to be. They don’t have any

Grier also briefed the board on
new expenses that must be includ-
ed in next year’s budget. The board
decided to prepare the 2010-11

Alvin Ailey returns to UNC

By Emily stephenson
senior Writer
The Alvin Ailey American Dance
Theater has performed its classic
spiritual piece, “Revelations,” for
nearly 50 years. But dancer Hope
Boykin said the company delivers
the piece differently every year.
“People don’t feel like they’ve
seen the company unless they’ve
seen ‘Revelations,’” said Boykin, a
Durham native who has been per-
forming with the company since
2000.
“They start to expect a certain
level of excellence. Every year we
come with something different.”
The company — named after
its founding choreographer —
will perform at Memorial Hall on
Saturday and Sunday as part of a
20-city tour celebrating Artistic
Director Judith Jamison’s 20 years
leading the group.
Ailey dancers have performed at
Memorial Hall during three of the
last four Carolina Performing Arts
seasons. Boykin said this weekend’s
performances will feature three
pieces that are new to the com-
pany’s repertoire this year.
During Saturday’s show, the
company will perform “Night
Creature,” an Ailey classic set
to Duke Ellington’s music, and
Jamison’s new piece about rela-
tionships, “Among Us.”
Sunday night’s pieces are
“Uptown,” a ballet about the
Harlem Renaissance, and the new
number “Dancing Spirit,” which
incorporates Cuban and Brazilian

Charity is
only part
of solution
for Haiti
O
n Jan. 13, the day after
the 7.0-magnitude earth-
quake struck Haiti, all I
felt was relief to learn that my
grandparents were alive.
Soon after, worry replaced
relief. As a Haitian-American, I
feared that people would donate
to Haiti without taking the time
to learn about Haiti’s less well-
known designation as the first
black republic in the world.
At a Feb. 3 campus teach-in I
organized with students and fac-
ulty, the audience learned from
a panel of experts that Haiti
has experienced economic and
political earthquakes throughout
its history. Foreign powers —
including the United States —
brought about these unnatural
disasters, forcing Haiti into per-
petual poverty, including nearly
$1 billion in external debt, and
contributing to the current
disaster’s death toll of nearly
300,000.
In 1804, Haitians expelled
their French enslavers. France
responded by forcing Haiti to
pay 150 million francs in “repara-
tions” for France’s lost wealth —
namely, Haitian slave labor. Haiti
borrowed money from French
and U.S. banks until it paid off
the debt in 1947. The current
value of the money that France
forced Haiti to pay for self-deter-
mination is $20 billion.
The U.S. military occupied
Haiti from 1915 to 1934.
During that time, the U.S.
controlled customs in Haiti,
collected taxes, rewrote the con-
stitution and ran governmental
institutions. The U.S. military
killed thousands of Haitians to
stifle revolts. Billions of dollars
were diverted from Haiti.
From 1957 to 1986, Haitians
suffered under U.S.-supported
dictators François “Papa Doc”
and Jean-Claude “Baby Doc”
Duvalier. These regimes killed
thousands and embezzled mil-
lions in public funds until a
popular movement forced “Baby
Doc” into exile. Four years
later, the people voted in Jean-
Bertrand Aristide as the country’s
first democratically elected presi-
dent. But two U.S.-backed coups
forced Aristide into exile.
Rewind to the late 1970s. Haiti
was self-sufficient in rice, its
staple food. By the mid-1990s,
the International Monetary Fund
— a Western-led world banking
institution — forced the country
to cut tariffs through loan regula-
tions, opening the door for the
U.S. to unload its subsidized sur-
plus of rice on Haiti.
Today, Haiti imports its rice,
and thousands of rice farmers
have been forced into Port-au-
Prince slums where their labor is
exploited in foreign-run factories.
Many who made the move died
in the earthquake.
Already, Western creditors are
pushing for a fivefold increase in
garment sector production, one
of the country’s most exploited
industries. New IMF loans
require Haiti to raise electricity
prices and freeze public sector
pay. Meanwhile, Haitians have
little say at international sum-
mits on their country’s recon-
struction.
We need to confront the U.S.’s
history of exploiting Haiti so that
we no longer play a part in the
impoverishment and disempow-
erment of Haitians.
Let’s push our government
and the rest of the world to
cancel Haiti’s unjust debt, then
pay reparations for the dam-
ages we’ve done. Demand that
we give grants to Haitians, not
loans. Insist on a democratic
reconstruction process led by
Haitians.
To support Haiti, we must
move from charity to solidarity.

University should provide ample pregnancy support

T
he University should
strive to support all of
its students — especially
through pregnancy.
Currently, there aren’ t
enough resources available for
students who plan on having a
child or who are pregnant dur-
ing their undergraduate years.
This isn’t unusual. Many of
our peer universities, public
and private alike, don’t have
any such policies for under-
graduates.
But this shouldn’t discour-
age our University from adopt-
ing one.
UNC graduate students and
faculty members all have paren-
tal leave policies. Graduate stu-
dents are even allowed a semes-
ter’s extension in case of preg-
nancy, but no such policy exists
for undergraduate students.
It’s disturbing that if a preg-
nant student wishes to contin-
ue her education, she currently
has no safeguard from inflex-
ible professors.

M

Carrboro High
School will finally be
able to properly work on their
craft without needing to go off
campus.
A new arts wing at the
high school will soon begin
construction after the state’s
local government commission
approved financial terms. The
total cost for the new facilities
is estimated to be about $4.6
million.
This is great news for the
school community. More
opportunities will arise for stu-
dent musicians while enriching
the culture at the school.

For instance, if a pregnant
mother- and father-to-be were
to have a birth-related emer-
gency during a final exam, there
is no guideline as to how a pro-
fessor should treat the situation.
The professor could flunk these
students on a whim.
Having a child is a major
decision and should not be
taken lightly. Housing status,
health insurance, financial
aid, scholarships and academic
records could all be affected by
such a decision.
So it’s surprising that there is
not an official policy for under-
graduate students and no staff
member in the Dean of Students
office or anywhere else at the
University assigned to student
pregnancy assistance.
A contact for soon-to-be
parents is crucial to navigate
the financial and academic
challenges of college.
Most importantly, this per-
son would provide a guide to
these students through all of
complications.
Musicians at Carrboro High
were forced to rehearse in an
athletic room with poor acous-
tics and loud refrigeration
equipment. They were also
forced to move off campus for
more serious rehearsals.
Parents and members of the
community voiced their dis-
pleasure at the lack of facilities,
which prompted action from
the local school board.
Todd LoFrese, assistant
superintendent for support ser-
vices for Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools, explained that
Carrboro High needed to be

overcrowding at other Chapel

Renewable resources explic-
itly mentioned in the law
include solar power and pig
waste. But one clause mentions
the use of “wood waste.” This
includes wood chippings, saw-
dust, old stumps and unused
two-by-fours.
This should absolutely
exclude fresh, living trees.
The state legislature must
clarify what it means by
“wood waste.” Using Duke
Energy’s interpretation, this
could lead to the clearing of
N.C. forests.
And deforestation could

their options — leaving for
a semester, staying, keeping
full-time status, transferring
or something in between.
A flexible and realistic aca-
demic leave policy is impera-
tive for students to be able to
continue their education.
UNC encourages respon-
sible choices. There is a pleth-
ora of information available
on methods of birth control,
sexually transmitted disease
prevention and mental health
wellness.
But if a couple feels they are
responsible enough to have a
child while in school, they should
be able to pursue this choice with
the University’s support.
Creating a policy and a des-
ignated contact for soon-to-be
and new families helps ensure
that students aren’t forced to
“choose” time off.
These individuals have every
right to have a child, and the
University should fairly accom-

to be made.
He pointed out that other
facilities were reduced in addi-
tion to the arts, such as a small-
er gymnasium, and that the
same dilemma has occurred at
other local schools.
However, the arts are an
important facet of a child’s
intellectual development,
and it is satisfying to see that
the arts are still valued in the
community.
Although it took a few years,
the Chapel Hill-Carrboro
school system as well as the
county should be commended
for responding to the concerns
of the community and recog-
nizing that the arts serve as
an important enrichment for
a child’s education.
there is no law on the books in
North Carolina that mandates
that the trees be replanted
upon removal.
The Southern Environmental
Law Center and other wood-
burning opponents have
pushed the N.C. Utilities
Commission to a hold a hear-
ing on the matter.
But that’s not good enough.
Power companies should not
be able to hold our forests
hostage.
Even the N.C. Environmental
Management Commission
agrees. In a recent report to
the General Assembly, the
commission asserted that the
legislature must clarify the
wood-burning definition.
