sexual assault
By Danielle Chemtob
Senior Writer
On Friday, The Dear Colleague
Letter, which guided the enforce-
ment of Title IX policies at universi-
ties across the country, came to an
end changing the guidelines for
how schools can adjudicate sexual
assault cases. The announcement
left students, activists and adminis-
trators unsure of the future of Title
IX cases in academia.
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy
DeVos issued interim guidance Friday
on campus sexual assault, scrapping
the Obama administrations Dear
Colleague Letter and allowing colleges
to use a higher standard of evidence in
investigations.
While some believed the Dear
Colleague Letter eliminated due
process for the accused, advocates
for survivors of sexual assault have
already voiced concerns that the
changes will silence survivors.
The new guidelines, which will
be in place while the Department of
Education creates a formal policy,
detail how universities, colleges and
K-12 schools should deal with Title
IX of the Education Amendments
of 1972.
UNCs current sexual assault policy
When C.D. Mocks son was found
guilty of sexual misconduct through
the University of Tennessee-
Chattanoogas Title IX investiga-
tion process and expelled in 2014,
he fought back against what he
believed to be an unfair ruling.
Other students like his son arent
always able to fight, said Mock.
They walk away from their
school, they walk away from every-
thing, and they hope they can trans-
fer to another school, he said.
Mock, a former UNC wrestling
coach, believes he was fired for
speaking out against his sons expe-
rience with Title IX.
A Davidson County Chancery
Court judge eventually ruled there
was not enough evidence to prove
that the sex was non-consensual.
Devos proposed changes are tak-
ing aim at the system she believes
failed students like Mocks son.

Campaigning at a cost in local elections

Self-imposed caps
and local PACs affect
campaign funds.
By Lauren Talley
Senior Writer
In the 2015 Chapel Hill
mayoral race, the two front
runners, Pam Hemminger and
Mark Kleinschmidt, spent a
combined total of $53,603.58
on their campaigns.
The Chapel Hill Town
Council race was competitive
in 2015 with nine candidates
vying for four seats, and
candidate spending varied
significantly. Incumbent Lee
Storrow, who ran the most
expensive campaign, spent
$23,178.36 on his town coun-
cil bid. Incumbent Jim Ward
spent only $5 the filing fee
to run for town council.
Both Storrow and Ward
lost the race.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro
both have limits on the
amount of money individual
donors can give. Carrboro
individual contributions are
capped at $250 per donor,
excluding candidates them-
selves and immediate family
members. In Chapel Hill, the
individual limit is $353 and
does not apply to candidates
or their spouses.
Carrboro Board of
Aldermen member Bethany
Chaney said it is not only
important to keep election
costs low, but also that indi-
vidual campaign contributions
are restricted which are pri-
orities met through the towns
limits on individual donations.
I would rather every
candidate raise $2,500 from
50 people than $2,500 from
three people or five people or
10 then 10 people are run-
ning your campaign instead
of 50, Chaney said. I dont
make my decisions based off
of who gave me money for
my campaign, but the more
money thats involved in a
campaign, you bet people are
paying attention.
Theres other money in
play
The landscape for Chapel
Hill politics shifted with the
2015 formation of the Chapel
Hill Alliance for a Livable
Town. CHALT endorses can-
didates who share its goals of
creating a more livable town
with less traffic, affordable
housing and lower taxes.
Tom Henkel, a co-founder
of CHALT, said its political
action committee did not
directly contribute money to
any candidates campaign in
2015. CHALTs 2017 PAC,
Chapel Hill Leadership-PAC,
is not planning on directly
contributing to candidates

Sustainability celebrated at first Spellings outlines where U.S.

annual Three Zeros event universities can improve
The day highlighted UNCs efforts
to lessen environmental impacts.
By Marco Quiroz-Gutierrez
Staff Writer
Marking the first anniversary of Chancellor
Carol Folts Three Zeros Environmental
Initiative, sustainability at UNC has flourished
through efforts to refocus goals of net zero
waste to landfills, zero greenhouse gas emis-
sions and zero water usage.
Waste
Anna Wu, the associate vice chancellor for
facilities services, said the University has been
working hard to increase recycling on campus
by adding new single-stream recycling bins to
the Environment, Health and Safety Building,
McColl Building and McCorkle Place.
Youll see a recycling a single-stream
recycling next to a trash receptacle, so
always compare so that you can make the right
choice about either recycling or having things
go to trash, Wu said.
Brittany Cook, the marketing director for
Carolina Dining Services, said CDS is working
to reach the goal of zero net waste by adding
compostable silverware to Bottom of Lenoir
Hall, McColl Cafe and the Beach Cafe.
Cook said the compostable silverware costs
almost double the amount of the plastic silver-
ware, but it was important to make the switch
to decrease contamination.
Last year what was happening was that the
silverware was plastic but the boxes were com-
postable, she said. At the end of your meal if
you put your silverware in your box and then
you just tossed that in the compost it was con-
taminating the compost.
Cook said CDS has partnered with their
beverage provider, PepsiCo, to source a com-
postable cup that has been adopted at McColl
Cafe and Bottom of Lenoir.
Thatll be a huge win for being able to
hopefully tremendously reduce our waste
these just had to go in the trash, and now
everything can be composted, she said.
Cook said more can still be done to assure
that students are not only composting items in
the dining areas, but everywhere on campus.
Next steps would be working with the
OWRR the Office of Waste Reduction and
Recycling on campus to add in as many com-
postable areas on campus that we can, she said.
Emissions
Although most of UNCs energy comes from
the on-campus coal-burning power plant, Brad
Ives, the Universitys chief sustainability offi-
cer, said UNC will reduce the amount of coal
burned at the plant over the next two years.
We will be reconfiguring our burners at

A Green Beret turned surgeon at UNC
By Mark Burnett
Staff Writer
Under Taliban fire, falling
out of the sky and crashing
into the village below, Staff
Sergeant Karl Holt knew his
life would never be the same
again. Faced with countless
surgeries after the attack, Holt
recognized that his time as a
Green Beret was over but he
could now become a surgeon.
Holt trained at Fort Bragg in
Fayetteville to become a medic
within the Green Berets.
One of the reasons why
I love medicine theres no
absolutely no shortcuts and it
doesnt matter what you did
before, really I mean theres no
corners that can be cut you
have to do everything that
everybody else has to do, Holt
said.
He knew he wanted to go
into medicine after a friend,
who was a cop in Houston,
Texas, got shot but saved by an
army surgeon at the hospital.
He was really bad off, you
know. I think they had him in
a coma for about two months
and they literally saved him,
Holt said. It was just insane
that he even survived at all
and it was a surgeon that did
it in fact, an army guy.
His time in the hospital,
along with his friends experi-
ence, that made him realize it
was time to follow his longtime
goal of becoming a surgeon.
The UNC School of
Medicine is now trying to
recruit more veterans into their
Physicians Assistant program,
which Holt continually pro-
vides advice on. Amelia Drake,
executive associate dean for
academic programs and direc-
tor of the UNC Craniofacial
Center, worked with Holt
on developing a plan for the
recruitment of returning spe-

Holmes disagrees with that
model.
That system has a fatal
flaw, Holmes said. Im actu-
ally assuming that the teacher
who taught you in high school
knows how to get better test
scores and theyve just been
choosing not to do it because
I havent been paying them
enough.
Project Advance provides a
wider net of opportunity, said
Courtney Sears, a second grade
teacher at Ephesus Elementary
School in Chapel Hill.
Its a philosophical differ-
ence, Sears said. When we
see teachers getting paid for
higher test scores, those pro-
grams tend to only be offered
to certain groups of teachers
on a year by year basis. Project
Advance is open to all teach-
ers in our district. The idea
of Project Advance is that it
trusts teachers to continuously
improve their craft and that
spans across a persons career.
Holmes, who is leading
Project Advance, said there
needs to be a kind of profes-
sional development for teach-
ers to improve their skills as
teachers or their knowledge
of teaching.
I dont know any teacher
who wakes up in the morning
knowing how to reach every
child and how to get every
single kid to grow and just
chooses not to do it because
theyre not getting paid
enough, Holmes said.
Nash said a student per-
formance based model would
not work for the district, but
there are some problems with
the merit based system of
teacher pay as well.
A 25-year teacher is going
to have a higher pay scale
than a three-year teacher,
Nash said. But research
doesnt support that the
25-year teacher teaches bet-
ter, they just have survived it
longer.
Sears said she took one of
the courses as part of Project
Advance. She said the experi-
ence made her proud of all
the teachers in her district.
Ive been really pleased
with the content of the cours-
es, Sears said. Ive also had
the opportunity to facilitate a
course and I found that to be
really exciting because I was so
impressed by the thoughtful-
ness that the teachers were
putting into their course work.
Sears is also part of the
Project Advance implementa-
tion team. Since launching a
year ago, she said some teach-
ers are wary of doing more
hours of professional develop-
ment than before.
I think that once we expe-
rience Project Advance fully
implemented, well see that
there is a shift from a one size
fits all professional develop-
ment to a model where teach-
ers are consistently having the
option to choose the topics
that they want to invest their
time into and how they want
to do it, she said.
The first year of implemen-
tation was a rollercoaster,
Holmes said.
Whenever youre imple-
menting something new and
youre building new systems,
theres always things to learn
and theres always things to
improve, he said.
Despite not knowing the
exact outcomes because of how
new and different the program
is from other models in the
state, Holmes said he remains
optimistic on the effect Project
Advance will have.
When we look at success
what we want to see is teach-
ers increasing their skills so
that the outcomes and the
experience are better for their
students, Holmes said. One
of the things we know is that
high quality professional
development helps teachers
improve which improves the
experience for students.

Basketball corruption case UNCs organization chapter lends a hand

rocks college sports world will take place on Friday night.
The Helping Hand Projects event
The FBI filed criminal
charges against 10
individuals.
By James Tatter
Assistant Sports Editor
It took a few hundred thou-
sand dollars slipping through
the cracks of the multibillion-
dollar college sports industry
to rock the college basketball
world this week.
Today, we announce
charges of fraud and corrup-
tion in the world of college
basketball, said Joon H. Kim,
the acting U.S. attorney for
the Southern District of New
York, in a press conference.
On Tuesday, the FBI filed
criminal charges against 10
individuals involved in a pay-
for-play scheme for college ath-
letes, arresting four assistant
coaches at Division I basketball
programs. The charges stem
from a system of underground
financial transactions that
funneled money from sports
apparel companies and profes-
sional athlete representatives to
coaches and student-athletes.
The money was used in
bribes to convince athletes to
enroll at the universities or to
pressure them to sign with the
agents or apparel companies
after leaving the universities.
While Adidas is the only
apparel company to confirm
an involvement in the criminal
complaint, the investigation
is ongoing and not all names
associated with the report have
been confirmed. Allegations
of involvement by another
apparel company suggest that
a more wide-ranging case
could be still to come.
The complaint refers to
phone calls between Adidas
director of global sports mar-
keting Jim Gatto and Merl
Code, another Adidas employ-
ee. The FBI intercepted the
calls via a wiretap.
During those calls, the
criminal complaint reads,
Gatto and Code discussed,
among other things, Coach-
3s request to Gatto that
Company-1 make a $150,000
payment to Player-12 in order
to prevent Player-12 from
committing to attend another
NCAA Division I university
sponsored by a rival athletic
apparel company that alleg-
edly had offered Player-12 a
substantial sum of money.
Adidas has released a state-
ment confirming the arrest of
an employee.
We are learning more
about the situation. Were
unaware of any misconduct
and will fully cooperate with
authorities to understand
more, the statement read.
Auburn, Oklahoma State,
Arizona and Southern
California have also released
statements confirming that
assistant coaches from their
basketball programs were
among those arrested.
All of these parties have
expressed that they were
unaware of the scheme and
that they will cooperate in the
FBI investigation.
Another school implicated
in the schemes is Louisville, an
ACC member that is already
facing NCAA probation for
a scandal involving using
prostitutes to entice recruits.
Gatto, Code, former sports
client manager Christian
Dawkins, an Adidas-sponsored
AAU team basketball coach
Jonathan Augustine and finan-
cial consultant Munish Sood
are all defendants associated
in the Louisville scheme.
Louisville was referred to
only as University-6 in the
complaint, but the university
confirmed the identification.
From May of this year until
September, the complaint
alleges that the defendants,
and others known and
unknown, conspired to illic-
itly funnel $100,000 from
Company-1 to the family of
Player-10.
The findings further state
that the player committed to
the university on or about
June 3, 2017, and that press
accounts referred to the com-
mitment as a surprise com-
mitment that came out of
nowhere. These facts and
others mentioned suggest that
the recruit in question is Brian
Bowen, the last five-star recruit
from the class of 2017 to com-
mit to a school. Bowen was still
listed on the Louisville basket-
ball roster late Tuesday night.
As the FBI conducts inter-
views, the investigation is all
but certain to bring more play-
ers and universities into the
fold. Until the investigation
draws to a close, the ques-
tion of how widespread these
schemes were will continue to
hang over college basketball.

Interested in having a good night with
food and music while supporting an even
better cause? Then join the UNC Chapter
of The Helping Hand Project this Friday,
Sept. 29 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Forest
Theater.
This event features the bands, Shakedown
Street and Left on Franklin, along with a
variety of food trucks, games and a raffle.
The presale $5 ticket or $7 day-of ticket
doubles as your raffle ticket. The grand prize
is a UNC basketball signed by the 2017 cham-
pionship team.
The Helping Hand Project is a nonprofit
organization that aims to provide children
with recreational prosthetic hands using 3-D
printers. This project was started by former
UNC student Jeff Powell with a motto of
Lend One to Give One.
The prosthetic hands given to children
are made 100 percent free of charge to
families by student volunteers through the
biomedical engineering program at UNC, as
well as other schools such as University of
North Carolina at Charlotte, North Carolina
State University and Durham Technical
Community College.
Kyle Wallace, a member of the executive
board planning the event, said these students
have collaborated and provided over 30
children with hands in over 10 states. These
children also get new hands as their anatomy
changes, and they continue to grow.
This benefit concert targets people from all
walks of life.
No matter who you are, were going to
have something here for you, said Meredith
Freeland, who is in charge of marketing oper-
ations for the UNC chapter.

toward every type of person, this is one

honor of his wife, Pat, and the 1957 UNC
National Championship basketball team.
community event to make sure you dont
miss.
Annabelle Dulin, another executive board
member, said that a big part of the concert is
to bridge the gap between different groups on
campus, especially between Greek and non-
Greek life.
Four UNC Greek organizations, Phi Mu,
Tri Delta, Chi Phi and Beta Theta Pi, are also
partnering with the UNC chapter to offer
support towards the cause and to help with
the benefit concert.
The philanthropy chair for Beta Theta Pi,
Marshall Ranson, furthered the conversation
on bridging the divide.
Plenty of fraternities have events in their
backyard to support the cause they are pas-
sionate about, but I think it is also important
for Greek to join an on-campus group with a
great cause, Ranson said.
This is the fourth annual benefit concert,
and Wallace is hoping for the biggest turn out
yet. The money raised Friday night will go to
helping the organization as a whole, not just
the UNC chapter.
The club is looking for more passionate
students to join their organization from
the technical side to fundraising, all students
with a passion are welcome.
Freeland even praised Powells passion
toward the cause.
We were sitting outside of SweetFrog in
90-degree heat, and he was pouring sweat,
but sat and talked to me for two and a half
hours because he has so much passion,
Freeland said. He loves these kids so much
he believes in this cause.
This event hopes to raise money and
awareness for the children that desperately
need free prosthetic hands. This opportunity
gives an entire community a reason to put
aside their differences and support a great
cause together.
Its a much larger community than us just
giving a child a prosthetic hand, Freeland
said.

The Daily Tar Heel launches a book club
By Leah Moore
Assistant Arts Editor
Thomas T. J. Brennan
and Finbarr OReilly were
unlikely friends, with Brennan
in the US Marine Corps and
Reilly working as a photo-
journalist on an assignment
that brought him to cover
Brennans unit in Afghanistan.
They wrote a book about
their separate experiences
with war, Shooting Ghosts
-- A U.S. Marine, A Combat
Photographer and Their
Journey Back from War.
The Daily Tar Heel pre-
sented the duo for their first
book club meeting Monday
evening in the upstairs lounge
of Student Stores.
Brennan said when he and
OReilly first met, relations
were contentious, at least on
his end, exacerbated by his
having only been with his unit
for about six weeks prior.
I wanted to throw him
over a cliff, I was willing to
shoot him in the foot. I want-
ed him gone, Brennan said.
Things are already stressful
enough when youre getting
shot at, you dont need some-
body taking pictures of you
while youre fighting.

ingratiate himself with the
Marines was bringing a box

Library plan may impede Carrboro parking
By Doug Dubrowski
Senior Writer
Plans to bring a southern
branch of the Orange County
Library in Carrboro are com-
plicating parking in the area.
The library would be built
at 203 S. Greensboro St.,
where an 88-space parking
lot currently stands.
Alderman Randee Haven-
ODonnell said there are cur-
rently a number of other pro-
posals to try to lessen the cost
and inconvenience of finding
new parking. She said fellow
Alderman Jacquelyn Gist
recommended the town work
with Carr Mill Mall to find
parking off Roberson Street.
The things that Im finding
most interesting to pursue are
conversations about spaces off
the extension of Maple Avenue
that could be directly adjacent
to the project for the library,
Haven-ODonnell said.
Gist said one solution
would be to take the funds
already allocated for the
librarys parking and use that
money to find parking.
What I proposed when we
saw the original plan, when

other and trying to get through

ing any further liabilities to

Brennan founded The War

about Marines United, a nude

After publication, he received
rape and death threats.
Brennan recalled speak-

Gist said she was dissatis-

she feared that construction
would especially limit parking
availability.
What I was hearing from

cant have no parking for a
year, Gist said. The thing
Im really committed to is that
our local businesses and the
people who go arent hurt.
Open Eye Cafe Owner
Scott Conary said he was not
worried about the finished
librarys effect on his business,
but he was concerned about
issues during construction.
From what Ive heard of
the plan so far is they would
replace the number of spots at
the end of construction, which
would be fine for us, he said.
Conary said he was most
concerned that construction
would mean water pipes he
needs for his business would
have to be turned off when
builders are at work.

Glasshalfull co-owner Jim

be best for his business.
I think short term, while

to do, he said. But I think
once its open, and youve got
the ArtsCenter there with the

I think it would be positive.
Wald also argued against
creating additional lots dis-
tant from the library and sur-
rounding businesses.
People want parking

think putting the parking
garage with the library makes
the most sense, Wald said.

She said that, after being

by a man she met on Tinder,
she brought her case to UNCs

Artis after he was charged
with a misdemeanor assault
on a female and sexual bat-
tery last year, said that Title
IX officials, who are typically
not lawyers, often dont know
what is appropriate to deter-
mine if there was a prepon-
derance of evidence in a case.
To one person on a panel,
that might mean this person
had five pieces of evidence
and this person had six, so
they win, she said.
Supporters of the Obama
guidance say because Title
IX is a civil rights law, the
preponderance of evidence
standard is appropriate.
By changing that, (DeVos
is) creating some sort of special
class, not only with Title IX
but specifically with sexual
violence within Title IX, said

former UNC student involved
in a federal complaint against

versy, but were now a regular

Another change in DeVos
guidance is the process of
appealing a decision. The
Dear Colleague Letter recom-
mends that an appeals pro-
cess be available to both par-
ties, but DeVos new guide-
lines allow schools to only let
the accused appeal.
Clark said this tips the scale
in favor of alleged perpetrators.
Generally, this gives
schools permission to treat
rapists better than survivors,
and I think it sends a very
clear signal to students all
around the country that cer-
tain students have rights that
should be protected more
than others, she said.

Time is important, and you
want things to happen prompt-
ly, but the most important thing
is that things are thoroughly

But Clark said the time

Sammie Espada, a UNC

she was disappointed that the
University did not immedi-

this University needs to be

In order to promote

the LFIT program could

TO THE EDITOR:
The Department of
Chemistry is proud to have
a dedicated group of faculty
who have led the way in
reforming undergraduate
instruction in chemistry.
Driven by our facultys
interests in student out-
comes, the transformation
of many of our large intro-
ductory courses into high
structure classrooms has
aided in student success.
Despite budget cuts at
the University level, the
department has creatively
increased resources avail-
able to students in the intro-
ductory curriculum.
The department deploys
and its annihilation exposes
the continuation of apathy
towards those who were
long treated as the quintes-
sential Other.
By contrast, in
Washington, D.C., Berlin
and Warsaw, museums
of Jewish life and its
destruction recognize and
denounce ethnic hatred and
genocide.
When societies ignore
their histories of cruelty, they
communicate indifference
to that past and its present
reverberations.
When societies acknowl-
edge their histories of
hatred, they communicate
their concern to end dis-
