ANNOUNCEMENT
manager faces new challenge
by C. Ryan Barber
University Editor
Inside a glass case on her office wall, Tonya Sell keeps
reminders of battles fought.
From a folded American flag to naval ribbons spanning
the color spectrum, the case bears evidence of a distin-
guished career in the U.S. Navy. More than a dozen med-
als pay tribute to her 15 and a half years of service to the
deprived and depraved, to the sacrifices she made on the
desolate battlegrounds of Kosovo and Somalia.
After three tours in Iraq totaling 45 months, she was pre-
pared to put those battles behind her. To return home to
North Carolina. And to begin anew in Chapel Hill.
But little changed.
“It was like going to a country, trying to help and they’re
spitting in your face,” Sell said.
Upon her February 2009 promotion from zone manager
to assistant housekeeping director, Sell found herself in the
crossfire yet again.
She said cliques were rampant among the housekeep-
er ranks. Professionalism was scarce. Policies were not
enforced consistently, if at all.
And as she tried to overcome the inertia and institute
reform, an enemy emerged in James Holman, an elected
Employee Forum representative serving his third year.
Although her insignia remained inside the case, Sell was
forced to wear her military experience on her sleeve as she
righted the housekeeping department’s ship — a process
that has brought her at odds with some housekeepers, espe-
cially Holman.
As her efforts drew more fire, wedge issues became the
new ammunition. And like a skilled tactician, Holman has
this was it.”
That “something” was the recent debate over the Wage-
Hour Policy, which came under scrutiny earlier this month
after eight housekeepers were disciplined for taking unau-
thorized sit-down breaks. The policy requires employees
to obtain approval for any break beyond the two allotted
15-minute rests and one-hour lunch break.
During the hectic move-in preparations of late July and
early August, seven full-time workers faced weeklong unpaid
suspensions, and one temporary housekeeper was fired.
Only the two female housekeepers caught in July ultimately
served their suspensions, but they were reimbursed after the
disciplinary actions — along with the five other suspensions
and the firing of the temporary worker — were expunged
following an Employee Forum committee meeting.
But Holman said he isn’t satisfied. dth/lauren mccay

“We are looking at all aspects
of the bill to make informed deci-
sions,” Silberman said. We tried to
pick people who would be knowl-
edgeable in each one.”
Each work group is made up of
30 to 40 people. Some of the issues
they are looking to address include
prevention, Medicaid, expansion
of community health centers and
school-based health centers, health
insurance exchanges and improv-
ing the quality of health care.
While most health care changes
will not take effect until 2014, some
have already been implemented or
will be in the near future.
“Some things are happening
quickly,” Silberman said. “We are
trying to anticipate what comes
and figure out what is needed by
the state.”
One of the provisions that could
affect students is that, starting
next month, anyone under 26 will
be able to stay on their parent’s
health care plan even if they are
not in school.
Silberman said a big question
for students concerning health
care reform is whether the manda-
tory health insurance for students
in the UNC system, which was
implemented this year, will coin-
cide with the law.
Bruce Mallette, senior associ-
ate vice president for Academic
and Student Affairs, said that now
there are no issues concerning the
mandatory health insurance in the
UNC system.
“If there are any adjustments
needed we will make them,”
Mallette said. “As of today there is
nothing to be changed.”
Adam Searing, project direc-
tor for the North Carolina Health
Access Coalition, said North
Carolina is in better shape than
other states in preparing for the
transition to the new laws because
the state has an organized health
care community. But there are
some who are concerned about the
new laws.
N. C . S e n . H a r r i s B l a k e ,
R-Harnett, who is on the state
health care committee, said he was
concerned about the health care
bill and cost of health care.
“If this plan goes into effect, we
can look forward to a decline in
quality and access in health care,”
Blake said. “I am very worried
about governmental involvement
in health care.”
Silberman and Searing both said
it was too early for the advisory
panel to start making recommen-
dations to the state government.

the most vulnerable Republican
incumbents up for re-election early
this year, political pundits predict-
ed a comfortable Burr victory.
As it stands now, Burr’s best
chance for keeping the seat lies
in riding the nationwide wave of
Republican momentum, said Scott
Rasmussen, president and CEO
of polling think tank Rasmussen
Reports.
Most polls give Burr a five to 10
percent advantage — a big lead in
a swing state with a history of close
races — but also show that neither
candidate has much support across
party lines.
His small lead in the polls is due
largely to anti-Democratic senti-
ment and his opponent’s lack of
money and exposure, said Dean
Debnam, president of Raleigh-
based Public Policy Polling.
Still, neither Burr nor his
Democratic opponent, Secretary
of State Elaine Marshall, has made
much of an imprint on the state’s
undecided voters, said Chris Hayes,
senior legislative analyst at the
polling think tank John W. Pope
Civitas Institute.
“Nothing in North Carolina now
is a solid seat one way or the other
anymore,” Hayes said. “We’re never
going to be a Georgia where the
Senate race is won by 20 points.”
The gap between Burr and
Marshall is representative of

ness and occasionally blurred the
line between friend and supervisor.
On occasion, Sell said she would
hear complaints of housekeep-
ers yelling at students or arriving
at work with unacceptable dress.
Disciplinary action was sometimes
contingent upon the housekeepers’
relationships with their supervisors.
“It breaks down to a level of pro-
fessionalism,” Sell said.
At once, the sit-down policy
debate has brought to light the
polarity within the housekeeping
community and the success of Sell’s
efforts to instill consistency.
Earlier this month, zone manager
Cathy Knight caught her cousin tak-
ing a break without prior authoriza-
tion. Housekeepers said the suspen-
sion broke Knight’s heart — but she
had to do it. At a meeting Friday,
one of the housekeepers suspended

requested anonymity.

Manuel, whose crew served
under Sell during her time as a zone
manager, said Holman has abused
his power on the Employee Forum,
using it to oppose new initiatives
such as the OS-1 cleaning system,
which is intended to improve clean-
ing and employee safety.
And several members of the
housekeeping administration agreed,
saying Holman represents only about
a dozen of his supporters.
“These are not large issues. These
are things that are important to
him,” said Bill Burston, director of
housekeeping services and a 20-year
veteran of the U.S. Air Force. “He
doesn’t always have all the info.”
But Holman said he is more
representative of the housekeep-
ers, citing his election success. His
opponents have attributed this
access to voter apathy.
Laurel Ashton, a Student Action
with Workers member who has sup-
ported Holman, leveled the same
criticism against Sell’s supporters.
“This is a tactic of management
to divide housekeepers so that they
are unable to stand up for them-
selves,” the UNC junior said.

First six weeks of school are rape ‘red zone’

Universities educating on safety
by Elise young
staff writer
After noticing an increase in
sexual assault cases during the first
few weeks of school, universities
are focusing on educating students,
particularly freshmen, on preven-
tion and safety.
UNC-Wilmington is taking the
lead on this initiative by organizing
events to ensure students are com-
fortable discussing sexual assault.
Adam Tate, the UNC-W interper-
sonal violence prevention coordina-
tor, said the first six weeks are the
most risky for college freshmen, call-
ing that time period the “red zone.”
He said the desire to fit in and
make friends, a lack of familiarity
with the campus and inexperience
with alcohol consumption make
freshmen vulnerable to sexual
assault.
The insular environment of
most college campuses often
leads to a feeling of false security
among freshmen, and they don’t
pay enough attention to their sur-
roundings, Tate said.
Along with other emergency and
prevention services, UNC-W has a
chapter of the national group One in
Four. UNC-W is the only university
in the UNC system with a chapter.
The student group mobilizes men
to define their masculinity without
feeling pressured to have sex and
teaches them how to support their
friends, both male and female, if
they are victims of sexual assault.

“It is much easier to go in and
talk about masculinity and sexual-
ity than it is to talk about rape and
sexual assault,” Tate said.
UNC-CH is making an effort to
educate freshmen as well.
The University conducted semi-
nars on sexual assault prevention

Tigers face stacked schedule Serenading Hope

UNC game like
any other for LSU
By Louie Horvath
Senior writer
This year’s edition of the Chick-
fil-A Kickoff Game has a strange
dichotomy.
While the game will immedi-
ately go into the pantheon of the
biggest games in North Carolina’s
football history, it represents
nothing more for Louisiana State
than the first big game of the sea-
son.
Coming from the Southeastern
Conference, LSU is used to playing
in games against the best teams in
the country.
The Tigers have a Nov. 6 date
with the No. 1 team in the country,
Alabama, and their conference is
widely recognized as the best and
deepest in the nation.
In each of the last four years,
the SEC champion played for the
crystal football in the BCS National
Championship game.
“(UNC) has two running backs that can
move the chains and they seem to have
improved at quarterback.”
Les Miles, LSU Football coach
NCAA investigation into UNC
and base game plans along those
assumptions.
With that in mind, LSU is pre-
paring to play UNC as if all of its
projected starters will be playing.
“We anticipate playing their very
best team,” Miles said in a telecon-
ference Monday. “The powers that
be will make those decisions as
needed. But frankly, we’re looking
at their best team, and if the sub-
stitute comes in, that won’t change
many of our calls.”
LSU’s senior class played in and
won a national championship as
freshmen. So forgive Miles if he
sounds as if he is paying lip service
to the season opener.
“We’re very honored to play in
the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game,”
Miles said. “We’re looking for-
is also held in that venue.
That does not mean that LSU is
looking past North Carolina.
The team that Miles has been
looking at on film has given him
some things to worry about.
“(North Carolina) has two run-
ning backs that can move the
chains and they seem to have
improved at quarterback,” Miles
said. “They’re a well-conceived
football team.
“Butch Davis has a good pro-
gram. They’re well-coached, and
they have a lot of talent.”
As it stands now, UNC repre-
sents the fourth-highest ranked
team LSU is slated to face on the
season, and UNC’s defense — if at
full strength — would be one of the
best LSU will see.
“Their defense is obviously one
DTH/KAtie Barnes

With that in mind, facing a
depleted UNC squad that may be
thinned by an NCAA investigation
does not represent a game that was
circled on the schedule.
For LSU head coach Les Miles,
it would make little sense to try
to anticipate the results from the
ward to visiting the Georgia Dome
again.”
To further the point, if LSU’s
season goes as Tiger fans would
like, this game would not even
register as their biggest game in

Wolens also said it’s important

Kasey Rankin, a senior at UNC,
said the scam didn’t surprise her.
“Many social media sites make
money through selling information

said.

didn’t share candy with my sis-

for me.

Some would call it torture.

Ramadan is like
Thanksgiving and Christmas
— sans Santa Claus — rolled
up into one: You are supposed
to be nice, not naughty, when
you’re starving and grateful
when you’re not. Eventually,
you lose your appetite — per-
manently.
So rather than being envious
of all the well-fed bellies around
me, I’ve started to become dis-
gusted by the way we approach
eating — here at UNC and in
our lives more generally.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me
some juicy burgers. But I don’t
see why the only way I can meet
someone is over food, which is
what the general trend seems to
be here.
Shoveling food in is a good
way to cover up awkward
pauses, and I can see how food
makes a good conversation
starter, but really, how close can
you get with a plate in between
you?
To all of the club leaders out
there, I don’t know when this
tradition started of luring fresh-
men in with bait before reeling
them into commitments. But
you should realize that most of
us get so distracted by the food
that we forget what the club is
all about. And it’s pretty obvious
when people are only coming
for the free food.
Ultimately, by making food
the standard at social occasions,
we give it such importance that
we don’t remember how to do
without it.
I’m not saying give up food,
I’m saying eat with a purpose —
whether it be to fill your stom-
ach (but not stuff it) or donate
to a cause. The Med Deli fund-
raiser for Pakistani flood victims
is today, for instance. Chapel
Hill is certainly not lacking in
opportunities to help out.
The next time you pick up
your spork/knork/chopstick,
try to think of a good reason for
making your body digest the
edible material in front of you.
If you can’t, drop your utensils
fast — I guarantee this will keep
off that college fat.
I’m loath to be preachy, but
boy, is our world having prob-
lems nowadays. It’s ripe time
for us to transcend our visceral
cravings in search of a health-
ier and more world-conscious
means to satisfaction and self-
fulfillment. And let’s face it:

Explain abortion money
Abortion exemption was proper, but answers

W
e like the element of
choice in the UNC
system’s decision to
let students opt out of abor-
tion coverage and the abor-
tion coverage pool. Abortion
is a contentious issue, and
allowing students choice is
the right thing to do.
But the option to opt out of
abortion coverage has resulted
in some less-than-satisfying
explanations from UNC and
Pearce & Pearce — the com-
pany offering the mandated
insurance.
Students who opt out of
abortion pay exactly the same
rate as students who choose
to be covered. The fact that
the rate is the same obviously
raises unsettling questions
for those opposed to the cov-
erage.

the loss of a very valu-

some of the museum’s most

underscores this.
The Chapel Hill Museum,
formerly located on East
Franklin Street across from
Boundary Street, recently
closed because it could no lon-

Abortion, whether you con-
sider it a valid medical proce-
dure or not, has a monetary
cost.
So many students were
understandably surprised, con-
fused and perhaps even angry
to find that opting out of abor-
tion coverage did not change
their insurance premium.
UNC states that the cost of
abortion coverage does not
make a difference in the cost of
the insurance plan in general.
But students are not insur-
ance actuarial experts. If UNC
wants us to be satisfied with
this answer then they need
to provide a more complete
explanation.
UNC and Pearce & Pearce
should better explain how
health insurance premiums
work. It is hard to demand
continue to be used by UNC
due to changes in federal
guidelines regarding financial
aid services. ConnectCarolina
provides more than just reg-
istration services. Its financial
aid arm complies with updated
federal regulations. Therefore,
a switch was necessary.
Still, ConnectCarolina has
failed to live up to its full
potential. The registration por-
tal used for enrolling in classes
had significant performance
issues during the start of add/
drop period due to high traffic,
hardly an opportune time for
the site to underperform.
We recognize that structural
changes are needed to improve
the system, but the changes
should be implemented at
percent of the town’s annual
budget. This amount proved
insufficient for the museum.
And all the museum asked
was that the town increase that
to $50,000 for five years.
Chapel Hill is a very special
place to millions of UNC alumni
and residents alike. The reason
for this affection stems from the
special culture and atmosphere
of this great town. The museum
represented and strove to pre-
serve what has made Chapel
Hill all it is today.
The museum held numer-
ous historical items, including
the first Model T Ford sold in
Chapel Hill (now on sale for a
mere $20,000) as well as the
town’s first fire engine. It also
held a Grammy won by James
Taylor.

transparency from Pearce
& Pearce, which is a private
company. But UNC is a pub-
lic institution and should
do more to inform students
about how its insurance cov-
erage works — especially
since it is requiring students
to be insured.
Adequate transparency
requires a comprehensible
explanation for those who do
not understand how they are
not still, in fact, paying for
abortion coverage or subsidiz-
ing others’ coverage.

student insurance plans.
low-volume times, and cer-
tainly not during the first week
of school. Specifically, a more
user-friendly interface would
be a welcome change.
But moving forward, we
have no choice but to give
ConnectCarolina a chance.
We recognize that it is a new
system with new problems and
the difficult task of catering to
a large university.
For now, the University
should educate s tudents
on the positive aspects of
ConnectCarolina and try to
smooth the transition.
But going forward, solid
steps to improve performance
and ease of use are a must to
make ConnectCarolina deliver
as promised.
The museum also provided
educational activities and pro-
grams for students and helped
Chapel Hill students meet
state-mandated educational
requirements. One such pro-
gram taught second-graders
fire safety and ways they could
help around their community.
And for years, the museum
did all of this for a pittance.
But, as we previously noted,
it’s easier to get donations for
an educational program than
to fix a leaky pipe.
It is too late to save the
museum. While we hope the
collections find good private
buyers, it’s unlikely they will
ever be able to be enjoyed in
the same way again.
The town should learn from
this egregious mistake.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Orange County sales tax
increase counterintuitive
TO THE EDITOR:
Orange County voters should
strongly resist voting to increase
the sales tax in the upcoming
November referendum. What is
erroneously being sold as a mea-
sure to spur economic develop-
ment will, in reality, have just the
opposite effect.
Any tax increase takes capital
from both investment and con-
sumer spending that would spur
growth in the private sector. Such
increases create situations in
which marginal business trans-
actions will not occur. With the
increased costs now associated
with purchasing goods, otherwise
profitable transactions would no
longer occur, leading to further
economic hardship.
In these trying economic times,
a more effective solution to foster-
ing economic development would
be to do just the opposite: Lower
the tax burden to attract new busi-
nesses to the area, which would
create jobs and foster economic
growth. It is worth noting that
this notion of not increasing taxes
during economic recession — and
perhaps even lowering them —
is not necessarily a conservative
stance.
In June, Christina Romer,
President Obama’s hand-picked
chairwoman of the Council of
Economic Advisors, published a
paper titled “The Macroeconomic
Effects of Tax Changes,” that con-
vincingly demonstrates the dam-
aging effects of tax increases. Her
research suggests that every tax
increase of one percent of GDP
lowers real GDP by almost three
percent. Similarly, any tax increas-
es in Orange County would have
an undesirable effect on the local
economy and should be avoided.

about one-third of U.S. women
will have by age 45, according to
the Guttmacher Institute.
As future health care profes-
sionals, we are concerned about
the precedent set by President
Erskine Bowles’ recent decision
to allow students to “opt out” of
sharing the costs of comprehen-
sive reproductive health care in
the new student insurance plan.
We are aware of no other cases
in which students may specify that
their insurance funds should not
cover particular medical proce-
dures obtained by other students.
Why should abortion, a legal and
common medical procedure, be
treated differently? Should stu-
dents be allowed to opt out of
paying into the insurance pool for
other services to which they per-
sonally object?
As long as nearly half of preg-
nancies in the U.S. are unintended,
abortion will continue to be essen-
tial health care for women whose
primary birth control has failed,

UNC football program
tarnished Tar Heel record
TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is to the entire
UNC football program. We have
enjoyed watching the program
grow over the past few years and
enjoyed the ride you have taken
us on. However, we as a student
body and faculty are hurt by what
has transpired over the past few
months with the NCAA inqui-
ries.
I have always been proud to
call myself a Tar Heel because Tar
Heels hold themselves to a certain
code of ethics and honesty. I think
what we as students are most
upset about is not the possibility
of losing or forfeiting games. What
we are upset about the most is that
our athletics program has had a
stellar record on the playing field
and it has done it the right way.
That reputation is now tarnished.
That is not what being a Tar Heel
is about. I wish every member of
the football program well in what-
ever they do in life, but at UNC we
will not accept dishonesty, and we
will not pull for cheaters.

Bush advisor Karl Rove to
speak at Memorial Hall
TO THE EDITOR:
The continued ineptness and
failures of the current adminis-
tration force one to reconsider the
arguments of a movement whose
obituary was written and rewritten
by pundits across the spectrum.
Conservatism is not dead, as one
can deduce from polls indicating
a Republican takeover of the U.S.
House and, potentially, even the
U.S. Senate.
One commentator who foresaw
the ephemeral nature of America’s
fondness for President Obama’s
policies was Karl Rove, one of the
more famous (or notorious) mem-
bers of the Bush administration.
His Washington experiences
certainly give him an interesting
perspective on the events of the
day, so UNC College Republicans is
proud to announce that Karl Rove
will be coming to speak on cam-
pus at UNC this coming semes-
ter. He will deliver his speech,
titled “America’s Challenges,” on
Monday, Sept. 20 at 5 p.m. in
Memorial Hall. Student tickets are
now available in the box office, so
be sure to reserve yours today!
