EVE CArson INVESTIGATION

atwater Pleads Guilty

Death penalty
dropped in deal
By Sarah Frier
City Editor
The public may never know
Demario Atwater’s full defense
against charges that he killed
former Student Body President
Eve Carson.
Atwater, 23, pleaded guilty
Monday to federal charges related
to Carson’s death in exchange for life
in prison without parole. He would
have been eligible for the death pen-
alty if convicted in the trial, which
was set to begin May 3.
Atwater still faces first-degree
murder and kidnapping charges
in state court, along with codefen-
dant Lawrence Alvin Lovette, 19.
But Atwater’s federal court plea,
because it sets him up to receive the
second highest punishment possible
for his crimes, reduces the incentive
for Orange County’s district attorney
to go through a trial in state court.
The only harsher sentencing
a trial in state court could bring
would be the death penalty — and
death penalty trials are much lon-
ger, more expensive ordeals with
more obstacles for the prosecutor.
A hearing is tentatively set for
next week in state court, during
which the district attorney could
decide he is also satisfied with
accepting a guilty plea for charges
related to Carson’s death. That
would end the trial process.
“If we have already locked him
up for the rest of his life, does it
make sense to spend time and
money and put the family through
an emotional roller coaster?” said
Duke University law lecturer Tom
Maher, who is executive director
of N.C. Indigent Defense Services.
“Does it make sense to try death,

For some, it brought surprise. For others, it
brought justice.
But for most, Demario James Atwater’s decision to
plead guilty to the federal charges
of kidnapping and carjacking
resulting in former Student Body
President Eve Carson’s death
brought a sense of closure.
“It was part of a series of things
that are helping to bring closure
for me,” said Peggy Jablonski,
vice chancellor for student
affairs. “It’s a major step on the
Friends of Eve road toward closure.”

SHE’S NO FEMINIST
Schlafly attacks feminism as ‘sour-grape ideology’
By Leo Lopez
STAFF Writer
One thing was clear at Phyllis Schlafly’s
speech Monday night: She is no feminist.
Throughout her speech, titled “Feminism
vs. Conservatism,” Schlafly, a renowned con-
servative activist and attorney, talked about
her lifelong opposition to feminism and her
prominent fight against the Equal Rights
Amendment.
“I have a view of feminism that I’m sure
you will not get at the women’s studies
department,” Schlafly said jokingly.
“You can define feminism any way you
want, but I use it the way leading spokes-
men and writers like Betty Friedan, Gloria
Steinem and Robin Morgan do, as anti-
marriage, anti-full time homemaker, anti-
motherhood and anti-man.”
Fifteen minutes into her lecture, when
discussing her numerous attendances to
Republican National Conventions, a group of
about 15 audience members stood up for sev-
eral seconds and silently walked out. As they
stood, Schlafly responded with sarcasm.
“Oh, so you’re standing up for the RNC?”
she said. “That’s great!”
Schlafly then continued her attack.
“Feminism does not liberate women from
anything,” she said. “It teaches them how to
nurse old wounds and feel sorry for them-
selves by identifying grievances and disad-
vantages. Feminism is a sour-grape ideology
that is not compatible with happiness.”
Schlafly also said she believes women
have a wonderful place in society and argued
that they are not mistreated.
“If women are oppressed, how come they
live eight years longer than men?” she asked.
“Or why are 98 percent of work-related
deaths men? And why were 94 percent of
women on the Titanic saved?”
With regard to the Equal Rights
Amendment, Schlafly said it was a fraud
that would prevent discrimination against
sex, not women.
“Men are not in the Constitution, so why
do we need women in it?” she asked. “There

Sta≠ to be interviewed about success
By Lyle Kendrick
STAFF Writer
At a time when the University is
looking to systematically cut costs
and eliminate waste, a group of
ly different tactic to try to achieve
greater efficiency.
UNC is beginning to look at the
positive work of faculty in light of
planning and curriculum changes
ciative inquiry — a campus-wide
process of asking questions about
successful practices.
The appreciative inquiry process
could represent a new way of find-
ing the best practices within the
University to improve efficiency
and the academic experience,
administrators said.
“It’s a faculty-driven exercise to
inventory the things that are strong
and good at the institution and
how we can build on those going
forward,” said Anne Whisnant,
tions and programs for the Office
of Faculty Governance.
But instead of the negative talk
often associated with trimming
budgets, the appreciative inquiry
process could put faculty members
in better moods.
“We tell people, and we’re joking,
but we’re also serious ... you’ll get the
same amount of work done when
you use an appreciative inquiry
framework, but you’ll be in a better
mood while doing it,” said Margaret
Henderson, an adjunct instructor at
the School of Government, which
has been using appreciative inquiry
for more than a year and a half.
The Faculty Council is employing
the method by having faculty mem-
bers interview each other to deter-
mine which aspects of their work
have been most effective for them.
While appreciative inquiry focus-
es on improving efficiency by focus-
ing on the best practices, it is not a
response to the report produced by
Bain & Company, a global business
consulting firm. The consulting firm
produced a report last summer with
recommendations for improving
UNC’s business functions but did
not focus on academics.
“It’s going to be complimentary of
the appreciative inquiry, but it’s tack-
ling a different set of issues,” said Joe
Templeton, former faculty chairman
and manager of UNC’s response to
the Bain report.
While the process might show
immediate results, it could also be
beneficial in generating long-term
planning ideas.
“We think this is an excellent
time to be doing this because we’ll
be releasing the academic plan
and faculty input will be very wel-
comed,” said McKay Coble, faculty
chairwoman.
Coble raised the idea for using
appreciative inquiry in a fall meet-
ing of the executive committee of
the Faculty Council. She said David
Kiel, a leadership coordinator at
the Center for Faculty Excellence,
gave her the idea.
“It’s a ground-up kind of
approach rather than some kind
of survey that’s sent from the top
down,” Coble said.
Thirty people from different
academic areas of the University
will be trained in using apprecia-
tive inquiry between May 19 and
May 21. Coble said it will be imple-
mented next academic year.
She said a major part of appre-
ciative inquiry’s cost would be
training faculty members.
Henderson said appreciative
inquiry has been used to handle
budget issues, community prob-
lems and economic development.
“The single most useful thing
about A.I. is that premise of how
you ask the question will determine
the responses and actions you get,”
Henderson said.
Coble said she hopes apprecia-
tive inquiry will be used by the fac-
ulty in the distant future.
“The greater vision is that we
have an ongoing conversation with
faculty about what concerns them,”
she said.

Beneville said police believe

never felt in danger.
“There is a lot of chatter,”
Beneville said.
“Emotions range from kids that
are scared to kids speculating why

Sexton hopes for one

last chance at dream
W
ith the NFL draft fast
approaching, executives
throughout the league
have spent countless hours on the
road and behind closed doors toil-
ing over the future of their teams.
There are few guarantees, save
the fact that there are nobodies
and somebodies, and the likeli-
hood that those labels likely will
swap places for many of the draft’s
eligible entrants.
An up-and-down college career
has left former North Carolina
quarterback Cam Sexton among
the nobodies.
A highly touted prospect from
Scotland County High School
in Laurinburg, Sexton broke his
ankle prior to the 2005 season,
resulting in a redshirt.
2006 wasn’t much better.
Subjected to then-head coach
John Bunting’s laughingstock
of an offensive scheme, Sexton
became a victim of the system.
Ask Willie Parker how that feels.
By the time Butch Davis

damage had already been done.
Largely overlooked in the spring,
Sexton sat out the majority of the

season.
Yet he vowed to take his lumps
and wait for his chance; he knew
it was coming. And when quarter-
back T.J. Yates fractured his ankle
in 2008, it did.
Sexton took advantage, leading
the Tar Heels to a 5-2 record in
the seven games he played before
giving way to Yates’ return — a
move that has haunted UNC at
times since.
That misfortune was a back-
breaker for Sexton, leading to his
transfer to Division II Catawba.
There, Sexton’s season ended pre-
maturely after a concussion, the
second injury of the season that he
sustained as a result of a late hit.
But Sexton remained commit-
ted to fulfilling his dream and to
fighting the odds that are now so
heavily stacked against him.
His daily routine consists of
five-and-a-half to six-hour work-
outs. Meeting with a small group
of other UNC draft hopefuls five
days a week, Sexton hopes that he
has fine-tuned some of the skills
that NFL scouts are looking for —
like the 40-yard dash, where he
turned heads by clocking a sub-

UNC questions Nike

subsidiary’s closings
Decides to further investigate claims
By Doruk Onvural
STAFF Writer
University officials questioned
Nike’s reaction to the 2009 clos-
ing of two factories by one of the
apparel company’s subsidiaries at
the Licensing Labor Code Advisory
Committee on Monday.
The meeting, during which
committee members discussed
the closing of a Honduran factory
that left 1,200 workers without
severance pay and insurance, also
addressed whether UNC should
terminate its relationship with
Nike.
After meeting for more than an
hour, committee members decid-
ed to further investigate what the
University could expect of Nike
and whether the company was
adequately revising their system to
avoid a recurrence of the situation
in Honduras.
Athletic Director Dick Baddour
and other committee members
concluded Nike is not legally obli-
gated to compensate the employees
because its subsidiary decided to
close the factory.
Jack Evans, the committee’s fac-
ulty representative, said there is lit-
tle the University can expect from
Nike because the subcontractor
which closed the factory has since
gone bankrupt.
“We don’t see a legal obliga-
tion in the supply chain to try to
make the contractor (Nike) make
payments that the subcontractor
should have made,” he said.
Evans added that the economy is
a factor in the financial difficulties
of subcontractors.
“I believe this is going to happen
again, somewhere in somebody’s
supply chain,” he said.
Committee member Rachel
Willis said she was concerned by
the disparity between what Nike
was doing and what it was adver-
tising.
“Your defense can’t be, ‘We didn’t
know this was going on,’ when you
advertise ‘This is important to us,’”
she said.
The University severed ties with
Russell Athletic in 2009 following
the company’s decision to close a
factory in Honduras where workers
had recently unionized.
UNC was among almost 100 uni-
versities that suspended licensing
agreements with Russell Athletic
in March 2009 to use their logos
on clothing and merchandise.
The committee members each
had pamphlets on Monday from
the Workers Rights Consortium,
an independent organization mon-
itoring laborers’ rights in factories
across the globe.
The organization has demanded
that Nike use its influential posi-
tion in the market place to pres-
sure its subsidiaries to providec-
ompensation to factory workers.
Derek Lochbaum, director of
trademarks and licensing, said
Nike’s response of sending letters
to subsidiaries asking them to pay
the workers was insufficient.

Mock shooters give insight

GET OUT THE VOTE

UNC system tests emergency plans
By Emily Stephenson
Senior Writer
After UNC-Pembroke held a
drill last year to test the university’s
response to a shooter on campus,
school officials decided that send-
ing text messages to alert students
wasn’t enough warning.
The school has since put in place
sirens to use in the event of emer-
gencies, said McDuffie Cummings
Jr., UNC-Pembroke’s police chief.
“We learned that we had to take
our notification system up one
more step,” Cummings said.
UNC-Chapel Hill will hold
a similar drill off-campus on
Wednesday. The UNC system
asked all of its campuses to con-
duct shooter drills following the
school officials, local law enforce-
ment and other participants to
examine responses to emergency
situations.
The system has contracted with
Graham, N.C.-based EnviroSafe
Consulting and Investigations Inc.
to conduct the drills.
Schools have been asked to hold
the tests before the end of June,
said Brent Herron, associate vice
president of campus safety and
emergency operations for the UNC
system.
N.C. Agricultural and Technical
State University conducted a drill
in March in which two gunmen
“shot” students — actors from the
school’s theater department —
pened on other campuses across the
country, it was a very wise decision.”
A gunman killed six people dur-
ing a 2008 shooting at Northern
Illinois University, and three facul-
ty members were killed earlier this
year at the University of Alabama-
Huntsville.
Scott said N.C. A&T began
alerting students and community
members about the drill weeks in
advance using local news organi-
zations, social media, listservs and
other methods.
“The common denominator
is the communications aspect of
these exercises,” Herron said.
During a drill at Elizabeth City
State University in 2008, a mock
gunman burst into a classroom
in which neither the students nor
the professor knew the event was
Shooting Drills
The UNC system has asked
all schools to conduct emer-
gency preparedness drills to test
responses to active shooters on
campus.
Five schools — UNC-Pembroke,
Elizabeth City State University,
UNC-Greensboro, N.C. A&T
State University and Western
Carolina University — have
already conducted shooter drills.
The remaining schools are
expected to conduct drills by
the end of June. UNC-Chapel
Hill will conduct its drill on
Wednesday.
Fourteen schools have conduct-

2007 shootings at Virginia Tech,
when a gunman killed 32 people.
UNC-Chapel Hill will be the
sixth campus to hold a full-scale
drill. Fourteen campuses have held
and held others hostage in a class-
room.
“It was the first time we had done
a drill that was so comprehensive.
It was as if something had actu-
ally happened,” said Mable Scott,
a test.

for student affairs at ECSU, said
the school held another drill last
month and it went smoothly.

was tasked with leading a committee
to make recommendations for future
editors after his suspension.
Hindi presented her group’s
recommendations to the advisory

interviewed for the position.
She said most of the suggestions
had to do with giving the editor
more ability to make decisions in
areas such as the paper’s budget,
staff training and hiring.

Chapel Hill native uses AIDS activist speaks at UNC
discarded objects for art
By adam hinson
Staff Writer
When everyday objects are
thrown away, they just might end
up in the hands of an artist.
Jessica Dupuis, whose work is
on display as part of a series by the
master’s of fine arts students, cre-
ated her artwork with discarded
materials.
The exhibition, titled “New
Currents in Contemporary Art,”
will be on display until May 23.
“I see my sculptures as journals,”
Dupuis said.
Raised in Chapel Hill, Dupuis
enjoyed the experience of working
with materials with her hands at a
young age.
“I used to draw on the wall in
my house,” Dupuis said. “I relish
the idea that I’m covered with what
I’m making.”
Dupuis received her undergrad-
uate degree at Alfred University in
New York before returning to her
hometown for graduate school.
In her graduate experience, she
has discovered the use of everyday
objects to convey her ideas.
Her current piece on display is a
combination of clay slip, a mixture
of clay and water, and newspaper
using cardboard boxes as a mold.
“I think there’s a lot said with
such minimal form,” assistant stu-
dio art professor Mario Marzan
said. “The whole exhibition is very
meditative to me.”
Marzan also said the work
invoked certain simple structures
such as the home.
“We live in boxes, we show art in
boxes,” Marzan said.
Dupuis said she tries to use
empty space to make her point.
“The space invokes a certain
memory,” she said.
Dupuis said her inspiration comes
from a variety of sources, ranging
from poetry, books and images of
where she has traveled. She has also
said that her family and adviser,
ceramics professor Yun-Dong Nam,
have also been her inspirations.
“My advisor pushes me and
helps me focus on a direction,”
Dupuis said.
Nam was also enthusiastic about
the piece, believing everyone can
gain something from viewing it.
“The quality of work has some-

thing we all can share,” Nam said.
“She doesn’t explain what the box
is about, but it is great to explore in
your own way.”
Dupuis described her process,
explaining a transcendental meth-
od of creating artwork.
“I just have to go and work,”
Dupuis said. “I just have to let my
body kind of take over in mental
and physical interaction. If I keep
working, my ideas come.”
The piece is “a focus on the
cardboard box as an object” that
Dupuis believes will invoke a loose
interpretation among those view-
ing. The differing interpretations
would be a result of the use of the
dainty materials, newspaper and

clay slip, in the shape of the card-

“Some might view them as deli-
cate and fragile, while others might
think that it is sturdy and strong,”
Dupuis said.
She also said that architectural
structures within her work are
open for people to explore and
attach their own meaning to.
Dupuis wants visitors to leave
linking her work to everyday life,
as she put everyday life into her
piece.
“Art and life are connected, they
are not separate,” she said.

Despite the forest’s relatively

Carson, Jablonski said Atwater’s
decision also brought relief.
“It’s helpful to hear that Eve’s
parents are comfortable with the
overall process,” she said, “And I
also am glad that they do not have
to be subjected to a long trial.”
Atwater is still facing first-degree
murder and kidnapping charges in
state court. Lawrence Alvin Lovette,
who was not charged federally, faces
the same state charges.
Carson’s parents released a state-
ment expressing their approval of
the plea in federal court.
“We agree with the U.S. Attorney’s
decision to accept the plea agree-
ment,” the statement read.
“We are very grateful for the
dedication and hard work that
have gone into the investigation
and prosecution of this crime.”
The family declined to comment
further on the plea, requesting that
all questions be directed to the U.S.
Attorney’s Office.

latch on to a high-profile case.
Whatever the incentive, federal
courts are known for going through
the legal decision process efficient-
ly, which can either provide quicker
closure or a lack of full answers to
questions about the crime.
“It’s terrible that the feds got
involved, that they pushed this case
as rapidly as they did,” Winston
said. “We will never know wheth-
er Demario Atwater ever had a
defense or not.”
Burdens of a capital trial
Legally, the decision made in
federal court has no bearing on
Atwater’s state charges.
“It really doesn’t affect us because
they’re two separate things, two sep-
arate cases,” Orange County District
Attorney Jim Woodall said.
But logistically, pursuing the
death penalty for Atwater would
mean a lot more hoops for the
prosecution to jump through, from
screening jurors for strong opinions
to an appeals and post-conviction
process, Maher said.
UNC law professor Rich Myers
said it might be difficult to get an
Orange County jury to agree to a
death penalty sentence.
Carson’s parents stated they
were in agreement with the plea
bargain in federal court.
So with one governmental body
in agreement with the result, as well
as the family of the victim, it is up
to the district attorney whether he
wants to negotiate a plea bargain or
go through with the trial process in
pursuit of capital punishment.
“The first and most important
decision is Woodall’s to make,”
Winston said. “Given what I know
about him and what I’ve read about
the wishes of Eve Carson’s family, it
would not surprise me if Woodall
said he was satisfied with the
results obtained in federal court.”
What this means for Lovette
Because Lovette is ineligible for
the death penalty, his trial will be
much simpler: a question of whether
he committed the crime, and if so,
whether it was in the first degree.
“If it were a capital case, that
would be the beginning and not the
end,” Maher said. “These trials often
take a week and sometimes less.”
But they will no longer have the
advantage of seeing Atwater’s fed-
eral trial play out first.
“They might have been hoping to
get a sneak preview of all the gov-
ernment’s evidence,” Myers said.

Robinette was gay but accusations of

“I was surprised and caught off

He said the organization has

Europe travel opening,

LONDON (MCT) — Europe’s
ash-filled skies have cracked open
slightly to allow more stranded
travelers to fly home, but aviation
authorities warned Monday that
the reprieve could prove tempo-
rary with the Icelandic volcano still
erupting.
Many of the continent’s biggest
airports remained closed at the
start of the new workweek.
But European transport offi-
cials, under intense pressure from
airlines to ease the blanket ban
on flights over most of northern
Europe, announced that some
services could resume Tuesday

could help disabled

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— A provision in the health care
overhaul law signed by President
Barack Obama last month could
help people care for the disabled.
The law establishes a volun-
tary, long-term care program that
will provide cash to enrollees who
suffer at least two limitations in
daily activities, such as eating,
bathing and dressing.
Supporters say the program,
known as the Community Living
Assistance Services and Supports,
or CLASS Act, will give families
greater means to care for disabled
relatives. There are about 10 mil-
lion Americans who need long-
term care services, including 4
million under age 65.
“This will empower consumers
by putting money in their hands.
Then entrepreneurial organiza-
tions will come to them and ask,
‘What can we do to help you?’” said
Larry Minnix, president of the
American Association of Homes
and Services for the Aging, which
lobbied for the CLASS Act.
Millie Toda of Toledo, Ohio,
takes care of her husband, Richard,
83, who is severely disabled from
Parkinson’s disease. She said
she’s grateful that with the help
of government-paid home health
aides and adult day care, he’s able
to continue living at home rather
than move to a nursing home.
Even with that aid, Toda, 75,
said extra money would be a big
help. She could use the cash to
help replace the broken lift on the
front porch so she wouldn’t have
to pull and push him up and down
the front steps of their trailer home
to get to his wheelchair.
Some business and insurance
groups argue that the CLASS pro-
gram won’t be financially sustain-
able. The key is getting enough
Americans to sign up for CLASS,
advocates respond.
James Gelfand, senior man-
ager of health policy at the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, which
opposed the CLASS Act, doubts
that participation will be ade-
quate. Only about 5 percent of
eligible employees choose to
participate in employers’ private
long-term care insurance benefit
programs and about 7 million
Americans own private long-term
care policies.
The CLASS program will be
run by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services.
After contributing for five years,
participants who are disabled
and meet criteria set by HHS
will be eligible for a cash benefit
of at least $50 a day. There will
be no screening for pre-existing
conditions and no lifetime benefit
limit.

Court challenges
Christian group
Says group bars

WASHINGTON (MCT) —
Conservative Supreme Court jus-
tices appeared poised Monday
to strike down a San Francisco
law school’s refusal to recognize a
Christian student group because
it effectively prohibits gays from
joining.
With pointed questions and
sharp tones, the court’s most vocal
conservatives repeatedly chal-

Society.

Justice John Paul Stevens, par-

echoed the point by asking about a
hypothetical student group whose

McConnell replied that a stu-

to require members to hold racist
beliefs but couldn’t be allowed to
restrict membership based on an
applicant’s racial status.
“You can have a student orga-

Duke’s
situation
handled
with care
The controversy over the
ousting of Duke University’s
College Republicans chairman
has garnered national attention
— sparking discussion on two
campuses and a firestorm on
Internet comment boards.
The reaction has been all over
the map, with all parties involved
being condemned at some point
— even The Daily Tar Heel.
We have been called insensi-
tive bullies who forced a man
“out.” We’ve been accused of bias
against Republicans. And people
have wondered why we would
want to put this situation on the
front page.
It’s undeniable that this is an
interesting story, if judging only
by the sheer number of com-
ments it has provoked.
But why do we feel this is this
important to our readers?
For one, the impeachment of
Justin Robinette — who claims to
have been forced out of the group
because he is gay — involves
UNC directly.
One of the charges against him
is that he did not adequately plan
and execute joint events with the
UNC College Republicans.
Another wrinkle is that
Robinette was recently
named co-chairman of the
N.C. Federation of College
Republicans, alongside a
UNC student. UNC College
Republicans has also pledged its
support for their Duke brethren.
But more than that, the pro-
vocative nature of the allegations
touches at the heart of issues we
discuss at UNC every day.
UNC’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual,
Transgender-Straight Alliance
continually keeps civil rights
issues in the spotlight, and the
University’s LGBTQ Center is
one of the nation’s leaders in put-
ting together progressive policies
when it comes to gay rights — all
while the national debate rages
around us.
Because of the sensitive nature
of the situation, we kept ethical
reporting guidelines firmly in
mind as we pursued the story.
We did not set out to air any-
one’s private matters. The e-mail
detailing Robinette’s allega-
tions about the impeachment
was widely circulated and made
its way to several members of
DTH staff — and it was already
being discussed on both sides of
Tobacco Road.
We also did not force anyone
to talk to us or to tell us confiden-
tial information. We contacted
Robinette and many members of
the College Republicans on both
campuses and asked for their
comment on the situation. Their
words were freely spoken.
Several of our sources
requested to meet and speak with
a reporter in person, and the
requests were granted.
My policy is to never surprise
the subjects of our stories with
what we print in the next day’s
paper. While not everyone we
spoke to was thrilled with what
we were writing, our reporters
came to a reasoned understand-
ing with each source.
We did what we aim to do on
any public controversy: report on
it fully, fairly and accurately.
No, we didn’t know all the
facts when we wrote the story
Sunday, and we still don’t. But we
felt it important to present what
we knew to stimulate as produc-
tive a campus discussion as pos-
sible. We laid out each argument,
but only stated as fact what we
could confirm from both sides.
We will continue to find out
how the controversy will affect
these large and visible student
groups on both of our campuses.
And if you think we are falling
down on the job, please continue
to let us know.

There’s no time left this year

The new museum is set to

new works that will make it

the praise for the success story

end, and Congress had to make
an exception to the rules just so
the Honor Court could contin-
ue to be funded.
The Honor Court should
never be in danger of losing its
funding. The court should pay
closer attention to the Student
Code in the future. But it also
shouldn’t have to compete with
other groups for student fee
money.
The Honor Court should
have its own student fee, sepa-
rate from the student govern-
ment fee.
A $1 student fee for the
Honor Court seems reason-
able. That would require
a student referendum, so
Congress should work to get it
on the Homecoming ballot in
November.
His tenure has brought land
acquisitions that have made
the museum’s park the largest
of any museum in the nation,
at 164 acres.
Wheeler’s leadership has
produced a wildly successful
capital campaign and now a
brand new, 127,000 square-
foot home for the museum’s
permanent collection.
The new one-story building
complements the surround-
ing park well by staying as low
to the ground as possible and
allowing the maximum amount
of natural light to pervade the
galleries, noted Thomas Phifer,
the principal architect of the
new building.
Among a bevy of beautiful
new acquisitions, 28 sculp-
tures by Auguste Rodin stand
out.

We normally don’t advocate
for fee increases. But the Honor

of Student Governments, is
essential to our tradition of self

The money stays on campus,
and the court provides stu-
dents with a judicial process to
resolve integrity issues.
Just because the court would
be guaranteed funding does not
mean it should be unaccount-
able. Congress should make
sure the fee referendum — or
other legislation — requires
the court to follow the Student

about difficulties with duke’s college republicans
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sexuality was not a factor
in impeachment decision
TO THE EDITOR:
I am a sophomore at Duke
University and a member of Duke
College Republicans. I take issue
with allegations made in your
article, “Leader of Duke CRs
forced out,” (April 19), namely
Cliff Satell’s statement that the
board only took action to impeach
Robinette when they learned of
Robinette’s sexuality.
As a member of this board
who voted to impeach Robinette
(the vote was unanimous), I will
say with complete honesty that
I was not aware that Robinette
was gay when I expressed desire
to impeach him; my reasons had
everything to do with his unac-
ceptable conduct as a leader of
our club.
Satell’s argument rests upon
the presumption that the College
Republicans executive board col-
luded to impeach Robinette based
solely on disapproval of his homo-
sexuality. I am only one member
of the executive board, but the
fact that I supported the impeach-
ment of Robinette before I was
even aware of his homosexuality
puts Satell’s argument in ques-
tion. I will happily provide a list
of Robinette’s actions as head of
Duke College Republicans which
led me, among others, to support
impeachment.
It was for these reasons, and
no others, that Robinette was
impeached. Any contrary argu-
ments are composed upon base-
less and inflammatory allegations
which unfairly tarnish not only
Duke College Republicans, but
each of its individual members,
and I am extremely disappointed
that The Daily Tar Heel would
choose to report upon this issue
without strenuously investigating
the facts of this situation.

CRs support impeachment
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to the articles that
appeared in both The Daily Tar
Heel and The Duke Chronicle
yesterday (“Leader of Duke CRs
forced out,” DTH, April 19), the
two College Republican chapters
would like to make it clear that all
decisions were made on grounds
explicitly stated in the constitution
and followed strict rules in mak-
ing the decision.
Mr. Robinette’s leadership deci-
sions were that on which the exec-
utive board decided to impeach
him, not his personal life choices.
The decision to impeach Mr.
Robinette was made because it was
considered necessary by the lead-
ership of the club as detailed in the
articles signed by every member
of Duke’s executive board. UNC
College Republicans fully support
Duke College Republicans in this
matter.
We also want to ensure it is
known that while our politics on
sexuality differ from a majority
of campus, sexuality issues are
not something we focus on as an
organization.
Within our own organization
there are a variety of opinions on
the issue and we always allow an
open arena of conversation on
any topic. As College Republican
chapters, our purpose is to aid
Republican candidates for elective
office and support them in any way

Robinette the best of luck in the
student elections today.

Action must be taken to
remedy discrimination
TO THE EDITOR:
The decision of the Duke
College Republicans to impeach
chair Justin Robinette, (“Leader
of Duke CRs forced out,” April
19), which we understand to be
primarily based on his sexual ori-
entation, is absolutely unaccept-
able. Regardless of other allega-
tions against Justin, it is clear that
Duke University’s non-discrim-
ination policy has been violated.
We urge Duke administration
and student leaders to take swift
action to deliver justice for Justin,
an outstanding and dedicated stu-
dent leader.
Let’s remember first and fore-
most that Justin Robinette is a
person. He has the same rights
and deserves the same privacy
and respect as any other student.
This includes deciding for him-
self when and how to come out,
which unfortunately has not been
respected by the campus media
and some of his peers.
We have the utmost respect
for our Republican peers at
Duke and UNC and understand
that there are many among their
ranks who disagree with the
recent impeachment decision.
But this is one issue where we
cannot set aside our differences
and agree to disagree. If the alle-
gations are proven true, we urge
UNC College Republicans to con-
demn the actions of their coun-
terpart at Duke University and
to ensure that the same situation
never occurs at Carolina.

Athletes must see value
in giving back to UNC
TO THE EDITOR:
Over the weekend, Ndamukong
Suh, the imposing defensive star
of the University of Nebraska foot-
ball team, demonstrated a com-
mitment to giving back through
a generous pledge of a donation
of $2.6 million to the university.
His moving statement announc-
ing his gift acknowledges all that
his coaches, classmates and fac-
ulty have done for him over the
past five years.
Why have we not seen such
commitment from UNC athletes?
Do coaches not instill the value of
the responsibility to give back?
Do UNC athletes not understand
and appreciate the contributions
that the university community
has made to their success?
In the larger game of life,
Mr. Suh’s understanding of his
philanthropic responsibilities
exceeds any of his remarkable
football accomplishments and
hopefully will lead others to fol-
low in his substantial and gener-
ous footsteps.
