About 1.4 million students, half of
whom are economically disadvan-

His mother was laid off. His stepfather’s
hours were cut.
And his family’s expected contribution
dropped $8,000, forcing him to take out a
Stafford loan and qualifying him to enroll in
work-study for the first time.
But Nick Bartlett, 19, isn’t complaining.
“I’m glad I did it,” the sophomore said, of
his decision to sign up for the federal work-
study program. “You have to pay for (tuition)
somehow, and taking out loans isn’t fun.”
Bartlett was one of more than 1,000 students
Tuesday to line the brick pathway bordering
McCorkle Place, spending the long-awaited
first day of classes waiting for one of the 2,440
available work-study referral forms.
“Judging from the line, a lot of them were
taken,” said Shirley Ort, associate provost and
director of scholarships and student aid.
Stretching from the doors of Vance Hall to
Hyde Hall, the line indicated more than just
the outage of PeopleSoft, the online referral
pick-up system.
It also reflected the increasingly dire eco-
nomic situation confronting the state — and
a growing demand for work-study by the stu-
dent body and University, alike.
“I’ve worked here 13 years, and I haven’t
seen lines this long in 12 years,” Ort said. “It’s a
reflection of what’s going on in society and our
economy. Part of the reason is there is more
interest in jobs.”
Ort added that the University has seen a 17
percent growth this year in students qualify-
employment. Though smaller in growth than
last year’s 23 percent increase, Ort said she
projects the percentage of students accepting
work-study positions will climb this year to
about 45 percent from last year’s rate of about
37 percent.
“What happened today suggests that more
students than what we thought will be accept-
ing their jobs,” said Ort, adding that the per-
centage of students eligible for the need-based
Federal Pell Grant Program is also likely to
swell.
A total of 3,259 students qualified during
the 2009-10 academic year, marking a 28 per-
cent hike in students receiving the grant, which
is provided to low-income students.
After three straight years of budget cuts and
layoffs, Ort said the University has become
increasingly dependent on student labor. And
students motivated to gain work experience
before graduation have responded accordingly.
“Experience matters more than ever when
it comes to getting good jobs when you leave
college,” Ort said. “Part-time experience on
campus is very helpful, as are internships.”
Bartlett, who intends on declaring a mathe-
matics major, said he hopes to become a math
tutor through the work-study program.
“It looks pretty cool. It’ll look good on my
resume,” he said.
Without the $750 supplemental tuition
increase approved in July, Bartlett said he

President Davis Willingham said.
“You start realizing you can help
each other out.”
One year ago, Smith, then the
fraternity’s president, was shot dead
by a police officer near Greensboro.
Smith had been driving drunk and
called 911, asking for help. Police
believed Smith was armed with a 9
mm handgun when they shot him.
In the aftermath of the Smith’s
death, fraternity members said
the judicial board has gained
more legitimacy. Smith founded
the board as president of DKE,
and members have honored that
legacy by giving more respect to
the board’s authority enforcing
conduct inside the house.
Members added that the frater-
nity has embraced the system-wide
changes, including dry rush.
“When you’re faced with a situ-
ation like that you have to move
your grief in a positive direction,”
Willingham said.
And they did.
“With his memory and his legacy,
we’re not going to let the chapter do
the wrong thing,” McCaskill said.
“It’s not something we’ll ever forget.
It’ll always be there pushing us.”
Of more than 50 chapters
nationwide, the fraternity won
the Lion Trophy — the fraternity’s
highest award nationally. The tro-
phy, awarded in July, followed a
number of community-oriented
projects and an improved relation-
ship with alumni.

calls DKE’s “crowning achievement”
— took about $75,000 and 1,500

Scott Myers, UNC’s director of

“We have surveys to see what the
students’ wants and desires are,

employees for the later shift.

Field hockey reloading
after championship year
Team searching
for new scorers
by Ryan Davis
staff writer
Despite the problems a team
faces when it loses its two lead-
ing scorers, North Carolina field
hockey coach Karen Shelton
knows the Tar Heels have what it
takes to repeat as national cham-
pions.
“We will be one of the teams
vying for the championship,”
Shelton said. “I feel good about our
attitude right now.”
North Carolina was chosen by
league coaches as the ACC pre-
season favorite. The Tar Heels
topped last year’s conference
champion and national runner-up,
Maryland, by receiving four first-
place votes.
The graduation of Danielle
Forword and Melanie Brill, the
Tar Heels’ top point scorers last
season, leaves sophomore Kelsey
Kolojejchick and senior Katelyn
Falgowski as UNC’s top returning
point scorers.
While Shelton acknowledged
that it’s hard to replace players of
Forword and Brill’s caliber, she
said that their absence will give
other players a chance to step
up.
“Dani was a rare and special tal-
ent,” Shelton said, adding that she
anticipates both Falgowski and
Kolejejchick being more active this
season.
In 2009 Falgowski led the team
with 26 assists, while Kolojejchick
finished just behind Brill and
Forward in goals, points, shots and
shots on goal.
“Our biggest challenge this sea-
son will be goal scoring as we look
to replace Dani Forward and Mel
Brill,” Kolojejchick said. “Our team
may not rely on only one person,
but rather multiple scorers this
season.”
In addition to being tabbed as
the ACC’s top team, the Tar Heels
boast three preseason All-ACC
selections — the most of any school
in the conference.
Falgowski and Kolojejchick
joined senior goalkeeper Jackie
Kintzer on the 11-member honorary
team. All three players were first-
team All-Americans and earned
All-ACC honors last season.

Kelsey Kolojejchick, who is the leading returning goal and point scorer,
looks to help her team win its third national championship in four years.
These selections reflect the
Tar Heels’ recipe for success last
season — scoring at a high rate
while limiting opponents’ scoring
chances.
Kolojejchick said it was key to
have UNC’s defense “remain one
of the strongest defenses in the
country.”
North Carolina scored 88 goals
while allowing only 15 in 2009.
Behind that defensive brilliance
was the 79.5 save percentage and
12 shutouts tallied by Tar Heel
goaltenders, both top numbers in
the ACC.
“We have undoubtedly the best
goalkeeper in the country,” Shelton
said, “and I think Jackie Kintzer

of the $3.4 billion Race to the Top
fund.
The grant money will improve
low-performing schools and bring
new technology to schools state-
wide, said Chris Mackey, press
secretary for Gov. Bev Perdue.
She said it will also help to
recruit and retain qualified teach-
ers and administrators, curbing a
potential future shortage of educa-
tors in the state.
“Making sure we can get stu-
dents career and college ready is
our biggest priority,” Mackey said.
The Race to the Top grant award-
ed funding based on states’ plans
to reform student assessment and
preparedness, educator recruitment
and retainment and turnaround for
low-performing schools.
After losing in the first round’s
competition, the state used its eval-
uaton to improve its application.
They added national curriculum
standards and a new charter school
law to gain points.
According to their application,
North Carolina is hoping to raise
low-performing schools’ gradua-

ulum for all subjects and grades.
Schools will also reform the way
they measure student achieve-
ment. Future tests will depend
less on standardized testing and
focus more on open-ended ques-
tions and technology, said Vanessa
Jeter, spokeswoman for the N.C.
Department of Public Instruction.
“We already have a really strong
track record of public school inno-
vation,” she said. “The Race to the
Top grant money will strengthen
that work.”
The state was the first with end-
of-year tests and a teacher evaluation
system in line with school account-
ability assessments, Jeter said.
“We have proven we have a
strong infrastructure for delivery
and reform,” she said.
All 115 local education agencies
in North Carolina are cooperating
with the state’s plans for the grant.
“North Carolina’s children today
are one step closer to being guar-
anteed the best public education
possible — something every child
deserves,” said Gov. Bev Perdue in
a statement.

Despite that legacy, DKE mem-

honoring Smith’s life by improving
the lives of others.
“It’s hard to believe that a year

said. “But he’s going to be with us

First-generation students bond
by melvin backman
assistant university editor
On their first day of classes, first-
generation students were intro-
duced to an organization intending
to make the first day one of many.
Of the 930 first-generation
freshmen and transfer students
arriving at UNC this year, about
120 appeared Tuesday at a convo-
cation in their honor by Carolina
Firsts.
One of the group’s co-presidents,
junior Adam Glass, estimated that
the attendance marked an increase
of about 70 percent from last year.
“We had a pretty good turnout,”
said Carrie Smith, the group’s other
co-president.
Carolina Firsts is a group of
UNC students — all of them first-
generation — that reach out to
other first-generation students.
Cynthia Demetriou, UNC’s
retention coordinator, advises the
group and helped create it four
years ago.
She said her position was cre-
ated in 2004 after a report from
the Office of Institutional Research
and Assessment revealed that one
in six first-generation students
eventually dropped out of UNC —
and that being a first-generation
student was one of the strongest
indicators that a student would
not graduate.
Glass, himself a first-generation
STUDENTS, FACULTY, & STAFF
student, said the biggest challenge
for him was navigating the college
experience, which had previously
been a mystery.
“The most intimidating part was
coming and not knowing anything
about college,” he said.
He said the Carolina Firsts group
helped him adjust to college.
Carolina Firsts has acted as a
means for incoming first-gener-
ation freshmen and transfer stu-
dents to get connected with each
other over the course of its short
history.
This year, however, the group
has created a new program for
incoming students to have a
mentor at UNC. Thirty students
signed up for the program at
Carolina’s CTOPS.
Demetriou said that since her
office was created, she believes the
dropout rate among first-genera-
tion students has decreased. A new
report on UNC’s retention rate is
due in the coming weeks.

Town tries new parking meters National and World News
by Nora Chan
staff writer
Jingly pockets on Franklin
Street could soon become a thing
of the past.
New trial multi-meter pay sta-
tions installed on the 100 and 300
blocks of Franklin Street began
operating Monday.
Town staff will be on hand near
the meters for the rest of the week
to help drivers out with the new
parking regulators.
Two station designs were selected
by the town for a three-month trial
period, said Chapel Hill Parking
Superintendent Brenda Jones.
“Based on customer issues, we
came to the conclusion that we
needed to move toward a newer
technology that would offer the
opportunity of multiple payment
options,” Jones said.
While the original meters only
accept coins, one new station will
accept credit cards and coins. The
second station will accept bills in
addition to the other methods of
payment.
Town officials plan to choose
between the two systems and replace
the 259 downtown parking meters
with the multi-meter pay stations.
“We want to see which station is
the best as far as our ability to use
and maintain it,” Jones said. “We’re
also relying on the public to pro-
vide feedback.
“Lots of times, people don’t have
change so they will run in (stores)
and run the risk of getting a ticket,”

addiction
I
n withdrawal. Miserable.
Frantically craving.
Anxious. Extremely antsy.
Jittery.
That was how University of
Maryland students described
what it was like to be without
social media.
Asked to spend 24 hours with-
out it, many found they couldn’t.
Most caved in to what research-
ers realized is basically an addic-
tion.
This probably comes as no
surprise to anyone who came of
age in the time of Facebook. For
good or bad, social media plays
a major role in how we commu-
nicate.
The Daily Tar Heel amped
up efforts to
community reach readers
Manager through social
for DTH media last year
when we put
someone in charge of building
and interacting with the Chapel
Hill community. As a news
organization, we succeed only
when we’re in touch with our
readers.
We’re one of the few college
papers to have a dedicated com-
munity manager, and we’re seri-
ous about interacting with you in
person and online.
My job this year is to make
sure we hear from you. Whether
you hate what we’re doing, love
it, want more of this or less of
that — we want to know.
What exactly does that mean?
At the end of last year, we
asked readers what they looked
for from us. You said you wanted
to see us linking to stories, break-
ing news throughout the day and
interacting with others.
With that in mind, here’s what
we’ve got planned:
n Meetings in person. Online
is great, but face-to-face talks
can’t be beat. We’re holding
three community meet-ups next
week (Monday and Wednesday
at 7 p.m. and Tuesday at 2
p.m.) at our new office at 151 E.
Rosemary St. The meetings will
be an informal way for you to
meet the editors and talk about
ideas you have for us. And every
Thursday you can find me at
The Daily Grind at noon, where
we can chat in person over cof-
fee.
n Feature your photos. We
sent five freshmen out with dis-
posable cameras to document
their first weekend at UNC, and
we’d like to do more events like
this. We can’t be everywhere
always, but we want to share
what you’re doing. So whenever
you take photos, send them to
dthphoto@gmail.com. We’ll
continue running That’s What
You Said on Mondays on page 3.
n Interacting online. We’re
committed to retweeting more
of what you say on Twitter and
replying to what you’re saying
there and on Facebook.
We also want to interact with
you in other ways. Have a blog?
Let us know and we’ll share your
posts. Sometimes, we’ll ask for
help finding sources for stories.
We don’t want this to be a one-
way conversation, so if you think
it is, tell us.
In a nutshell, we want to be
responsive to you, your interests
and your concerns.
There’s no “right” way to do
any of these things, but there are
wrong ways, and there are better
ways — and we’ll be figuring out
what works throughout the year.
We hope you’ll let us know how
we do.

Tilting at windmills
Duke Energy and UNC should partner to produce
technologies that truly benefit consumers
D
uke Energy’s decision to
abandon the construc-
tion of wind turbines in
the Pamlico Sound is indicative
of just how uneconomical wind
is as an energy source.
If anything, Duke Energy
should use its partnership with
UNC to make the technology
viable instead of implement-
ing it as is. As it stands, wind
technology in its current form
is a raw deal for consumers,
and hardly environmentally
friendly.
The original plan was to put
three “demonstration” turbines
in the Sound.
Duke Energy stated that it
has now changed its focus to
achieving larger scales farther
offshore. If the choice is really
between “go big” or “go home,”
then going home is the prefer-
able course of action.
The fact of the matter is that
wherever Duke Energy places
turbines, the same inherent
problems remain. Wind power
Time for transparency
UNC-TV must be more open about funding
connections with organizations it reports on
U
NC-TV should provide
better information
regarding their funding
and relationship with the enti-
ties on which they are reporting
when producing news programs
like the Alcoa report earlier this
summer.
UNC-TV recently aired a
report on the state govern-
ment’s decision to allow their
contract with the company
Alcoa to expire. This report
caused controversy because the
station gave full editorial con-
trol to the reporter who inves-
tigated the news story.
Other news outlets provide
disclaimers when reporting
on topics that deal with their
donors or affiliates.
At UNC-TV’s request, three
faculty members of UNC’s
School of Journalism were asked
Doing our part
Given county efforts to curtail spending, a modest
sales tax increase is justified
A
proposition to increase
the sales tax on non-
food items in Orange
County is a necessary move
in raising revenue to help
improve government services
and spur economic develop-
ment.
The referendum, which
residents will vote on in
November, could raise the
sales tax from 7.75 to 8 per-
cent.
If approved, the new
tax could generate nearly
$600,000 in revenue by the
end of the 2010-2011 fiscal
year and 2.3 million dol-
lars annually in subsequent
years.
This funding is vital to get
Orange County’s fiscal house
in order and support needed
services.

scales poorly, is prohibitively
costly and achieves no real
reduction in greenhouse gases.
First, wind turbines lack
“energy density.” To produce
the same power as a single
1,000-megawatt nuclear plant
requires more than 300 square
miles of wind farms. This is
land (and water) that is taken
out of use.
And while a nuclear or coal
plant can produce a constant
flow of energy, wind cannot.
In fact, wind is least reliable
when it’s most needed — days
that are hot and in the summer.
And this is the greatest irony
of all: Because wind is unreli-
able, every unit of wind energy
has to be backed up with a unit
of conventional energy (coal or
gas) so that people have elec-
tricity when there’s no wind.
UNC and Duke have pur-
sued implementing offshore
wind in spite of these short-
comings — when the time and
research could be far better
to review the report to determine
if it met universally accepted
standards of journalism. This
review found that the report did
not meet these standards.
The faculty members found
that the state-funded sta-
tion, UNC-TV, was pressured
by state lawmakers to slant
the story in the government’s
favor. This pressure should
have caused the station to take
editorial control.
The review correctly con-
cludes that UNC-TV should
never have wavered in response
to pressure from any institu-
tion.
T he troubling thought
raised by the recent debacle is
that its public funding makes
it vulnerable to similar lapses
in journalistic ethics going
forward.
Manager Frank Clifton, about
58 percent of revenue from
the tax increase will go to
providing new technology for
Orange County schools and
enhancing the county’s librar-
ies and emergency services.
It is the government’s obli-
gation to do what it takes to
maintain public services, and
public outcry has brought
attention to the dire need for
an upgrade.
The remainder of the pro-
ceeds from the tax will go to
promoting new businesses in
Orange County.
A financial stipend will
encourage businesses to invest
in Orange County, therefore
stimulating the economy and
attracting residents to buy
locally as well as attracting
consumers from out of town.

spent improving technology.
Without better battery tech-
nology to store energy, wind
alone is not a viable, table
energy source.
And while building offshore
avoids many of the potential
hazards of wind farms such as
noise pollution and bird and bat
kills, the cost of linking with the
electricity grid is higher.
The UNC study of the
Pamlico Sound estimated trans-
mission line costs of $2 million
per mile. It stands to reason
that building farther out would
only increase these costs.
Add that to the $88 million
price tag for the first actual
turbine.
Consumers deserve efficient,
reliable energy. Wind is politi-
cally popular, but an economic
disaster.
UNC and Duke Energy
would do better to focus their
research on technology that
makes energy more efficient,
cleaner, cheaper and reliable.
UNC-TV viewers can access
information regarding the
source of the station’s funding.
The station’s budget is
released annually on its web
site and shows what percent-
age of its budget comes from
the state and federal govern-
ment — more than 50 percent
of the current budget comes
from the North Carolina gov-
ernment.
But this is not enough dis-
closure for readers to judge
news reports from UNC-TV
that involve entities who pro-
vide them with funds.
UNC-TV should provide
specific disclaimers before run-
ning their programs. Viewers
deserve to be better informed
about these news programs in
order to form an educated opin-
ion about their objectivity.
will lead to increased prop-
erty tax revenue.
County officials have made
spending cuts first priority,
so the tax increase comes as
a last resort.
Significant reductions have
been made in government
staffing, and nonprofit funds
have been decreased to light-
en up this year’s budget.
Some financial projects
have been put on the back
burner.
To ease the burden of the
increased tax, the county
plans to tag it onto non-food
items only.
This makes the tax less
regressive and fair for all
social classes.
Orange County has been hit
hard by the recession, and to
recover, a reasonable increase
in the sales tax is justified.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Manning drive dangerous
for crossing pedestrians
TO THE EDITOR:
As one of the UNC-Chapel
Hill campus family I say wel-
come and welcome back.
For 15 years I have worked
in buildings on Manning Drive,
and so I am familiar with this
street and the surrounding
areas. Three people have died
within a three-block area of my
building. Please don’t become a
statistic.
The medical complex on
Manning, the ever-growing stu-
dent housing around Manning,
and the adjacent Columbia
Street areas, are incredibly
dangerous.
The three people who died
were all struck by cars or a city
bus. Staff walking from the
Manning Drive parking decks
to their workplace have been
struck, bumped or had incredi-
ble, heart-stopping near misses
with cars.
Please walk “defensively”
while navigating the streets
around campus. We don’t want
to lose you.

Speaking out against
hazing at universities
TO THE EDITOR:
As educators, advisors, coun-
selors and in the front lines with
women and men starting their
first year in colleges across the
country this fall, we all need to
stop our bystander approach to
hazing and speak out.
Tolerating hazing, or looking
the other way, is just as bad as
participating.
Dallas Cowboys rookie Dez
Bryant didn’t participate, didn’t
stand by and did speak up when
he refused to carry equipment
off the field for a veteran player
as part of a rookie ritual.
No matter how you feel
about Bryant’s actions, the bot-
tom line is that rookie hazing in
sports arenas has become insti-
tutionalized and accepted.
It shouldn’t be.
We all have to start some-
where when it comes to pro-
viding appropriate role models
for young and impressionable
people who look up to well-
paid, oft-quoted and highly
respected sports figures.
Indianapolis’ own Peyton
Manning did speak up – sim-
ply saying: “We don’t do that
around here.” If the Colts can
act like adults and tell the
world, so can anyone else affili-
ated with the National Football
League.
The problem with hazing
in any form is that it rarely
remains innocuous; perpe-
trators tend to add their own
“spin” until the practice leads to
emotional or physical injury or
trauma and sometimes death,
according to Marilyn Fordham,
a panhellenic woman and an
officer for the national group
HazingPrevention.org.
Anyone who believes hazing
should be stopped at the ama-
teur and professional sports
levels, where role models are
revered and respected by our
youth, needs to join us on
StopHazing.org.

‘Ground Zero’ mosque
exemplifies freedom
TO THE EDITOR:
T he amount of emotion
expressed over placing a
mosque near the former World
Trade Center is surprising and
befuddling to me.
For eight years we lived
under a presidency that, take it
or leave it, was a very divisive
one and resulted in a politically
fractioned nation.
I want to remind readers that
this country was once known as
the land of the free.
The faith that I practice
is not Islam, but I certainly
respect those who practice it
and want to encourage them to
continue their expressions of
freedom.
As we feel physical pain
when we get our bodies into
physical shape, those who feel
emotional pain when they see
a mosque being built near the
former World Trade Center
ought to realize that it is the
pain of a path towards emo-
tional fitness.
The foresight of President
Barack Obama in this uniting,
American action is what makes
him a great leader.

Rathskeller, a Chapel Hill
icon, will be remembered
TO THE EDITOR:
UNC juniors and seniors
will remember the Ramshead
Rathskeller, which closed two
years ago. The “Rat” is among
my fondest memories of Chapel
Hill.
When I came to UNC in
September 1948, I frequently
went to Danziger’s Vienna
Coffee Shop on Franklin Street,
which was also a candy shop.
I s t a r t e d d a t i n g Pa p a
Danziger’s niece, Paula, who
had recently arrived from
Austria. Papa and his oldest
son, Ted, finished building the
Rathskeller on Amber Alley,
just off and below Franklin
Street.
Papa approved of my dat-
ing Paula because I was a seri-
ous young man, just out of the
Army. I was invited to the open-
ing party at the Rat with Paula.
We were also included in a
pre-opening party a day or two
before the formal opening.
During my years at UNC
(1948-52 and 1953-54), I vis-
ited the Rat regularly, though
Paula and I stopped dating (I
recently learned that, sadly, she
died several years ago).
When I returned to Chapel
Hill-Carrboro after retirement
from the Foreign Service in 1981,
I ate at the Rat at least weekly.
I was saddened when it
closed in 2008. I could hardly
believe that nobody in Chapel
Hill was able or willing to save
this old icon.
Today’s students don’t know
what they are missing.
