State Fair officials try to beat last year’s attendance
by Elizabeth johnson
staff writer
For more than 140 years, October in the
Triangle area has been synonymous with fried
food, Ferris wheels and farm animals.
The N.C. State Fair, which will open for
its first full day today, has become the most
attended annual event in North Carolina with
almost one million people making the trip to
Raleigh’s fairgrounds last year alone.
And fair officials say they are trying to beat
last year’s record attendance by finding more
things to fry.
In an effort to out do last year’s infamous
chocolate-covered bacon, fair officials intro-
duced the Krispy Kreme burger — a hamburg-
er patty in between two Krispy Kreme original
glazed doughnuts — which has garnered atten-
tion at fairs nationwide.

previous records with a total of 877,939 visitors.

“We’re really excited about the new food that
will be at the fair this year,” said Jen Nixon,
spokeswoman for the fair.
The first state fair was held in 1853 for four
days. During the event, the day with the high-
est attendance boasted 4,000 people.
The fair has since transitioned into a
10-day, multi-million dollar event with a net
revenue of more than $3 million reported last
year, ranking among the top 25 fairs in North
America.
It has also evolved to represent the state’s
changing industries.

year’s fair, is aimed at showing visitors energy-
efficient and sustainable practices.

Corapeake exhibit at Stone Center
Multimedia project features rural town
Kelly blessing
staff writer
Ragged suit coats, an artist’s
personal journal and faint voices
looping in the background tell an
intimate story that photographs
alone do not.
“Corapeake,” a multimedia
exhibit by artist Kendall Messick, is
currently on display at the Robert
and Sallie Brown Gallery in the
Sonja Haynes Stone Center.
Messick, based in New York City,
chronicles the intimate stories of
the aging residents of the town of
Corapeake, N.C. in an exhibition
focused on preserving the memo-
ries of those often forgotten.
“‘Corapeake re-centers the rural
experience as the foundation for
the African-American experience,”
said Joseph Jordan, director of the
Stone Center.

“The exhibit draws attention to

ties like it as relics of the past.”
The Stone Center’s art com-
mittee chose to feature the town
of Corapeake — a largely African-
American community in eastern
North Carolina — as part of this
year’s focus on exploring identity
and racial politics, Jordan said.
Photographs from Messick’s
seven-year multimedia project are
in the Smithsonian museum’s per-
manent collection, and the accom-
panying documentary has been
shown on PBS affiliates throughout
the country, including UNC-TV.
“Corapeake” was Messick’s first
significant work. The artist has
since gone on to create other long-
term multimedia projects and
many photographs, one of which
is a part of the collection at New
York’s Museum of Modern Art.
Messick’s vision for his project
came when he visited the hometown
of his best friend from Wake Forest
University, Brenda Parker Hunt.
“You can’t help but come away from the
exhibit feeling as though you discovered
something about yourself.”
Gordon Ryan, Stone center spokesman
“I immediately responded
strongly to the place,” Messick said.
“It was magical.”
From that first visit in 1995 until
the project’s completion in 2002,
Messick and Hunt repeatedly trav-
eled back and forth from Messick’s
home in northern New Jersey to
this small village on the edge of the
Great Dismal Swamp.
“I allowed the project to evolve
in an organic way,” Messick said.
“I just let the simplicity of the life-
styles and the resonance of the sto-
ries inspire me.”
The photographs are mounted
on old wallpaper made out of
newsprint which Corapeake resi-
dents used in their homes.
Messick said that the Robert and
Sallie Brown Gallery has a small,

intimate atmosphere, which he
feels is vital to the viewer’s experi-
ence of the exhibition.
The collection, which opened in
late September, will be on display
until Dec. 3.
Gordon Ryan, public com-
munications officer at the Stone
Center, said that Messick has an
unmistakable compassion for his
subjects.
“You look at the photos and you
know the people,” Ryan said. “You
can’t help but come away from the
exhibit feeling as though you dis-
covered something about yourself

Chapel Hill
a popular
destination
for surfers
Couch surfing a
worldwide trend
Greg Whitehead
staff writer
College students who want to
get away during upcoming breaks
often think about crashing on a
friend’s couch to keep from break-
ing the bank.
Thanks to the Internet, they
can crash on a stranger’s couch,
too. Travel website CouchSurfing.
org, which has garnered 2,259,314
members since its public launching
in 2004, is a network that connects
frugal travelers with new friends
and old couches across the world.
Some of these couches are right
here in Chapel Hill.
UNC graduate student and
couch surfer Adam Kelleher said
the Chapel Hill area has become
a popular destination for travelers
due to the school’s international
appeal, popular athletics and the
area’s thriving music scene.
“I have hosted a couple of bands
coming through the area, so I always
go out to their shows when they’re in
town,” Kelleher said. “I also hosted a
couple of girls who were in town for
a hoop-dancing event.”
Kelleher said bands are attracted
to the area’s reputable music scene
and prospective students often
come through to preview UNC
before studying here.
Kelleher worked at a hostel in
his hometown of Charleston, S.C.,
where he frequently showed tour-
ists around, before he moved to
England. There, he couch surfed
until he found his own residence.
Senior Arthur Gribensk couch
surfed through France and Ireland
and is hosting a guest from
Goldsboro next week.
“The people were so welcoming,”
Gribensk said. “One family took me
to a cookout with their close friends.
A lot of people cooked for me and
showed me around their towns.”
Chapel Hill residents Kathy and
Mike Narotsky have hosted two dif-
ferent visitors this year, a mother-
daughter pair from England and a
couple from Minnesota.
“It has been great,” Kathy
Narotsky said. “We are a family,
my husband and two kids, so we
are careful about who we take.”
Narotsky said she is surpris-
ingly satisfied with the protective
measures of the couch surfing pro-
gram.
“We got a request recently that
we turned down because the per-
son didn’t have any references and
we didn’t feel comfortable; there
are signs that people are who they
say they are,” Narotsky said.
CouchSurfing.org requires an
identity and location verification
process and allows surfers and
hosts to see who is verified.
“There (are) extensive security
features and screening, plus you
can read individual profiles and
the reviews given to them by other
surfers,” Kelleher said.
Gribensk’s positive experience
couch surfing through Europe led
him to return the favor.
He said that if he had a daughter,
he would feel comfortable allowing
her to couch surf after seeing the
safety measures involved.
“I now understand the position
people are in when they are trav-
eling, so I felt I should open my
house up because I have been on
the other end of that when I need-
ed a place to stay,” Gribensk said.

Field hockey
faces toughest
challenge yet
UNC takes on
No. 3 Virginia
by Evan g. Marlow
staff writer
The No. 1 North Carolina field
hockey team is the only team in the
country that is still undefeated this
season, and while the Tar Heels
have faced many ranked oppo-
nents, none have posed the threat
that Saturday’s opponent No. 3
Virginia does.
“At this point of the season we’ve
played a lot of games and it’s a thrill
to play against a really good team,”
UNC coach Karen Shelton said.
The Cavaliers (11-1, 1-1 ACC)
enter Saturday’s 1 p.m. game at
Henry Stadium having lost just
once — in overtime to then-No. 1
Maryland. They will be the high-
est ranked opponent the Tar Heels
have faced this season.
The two ACC foes are very famil-
iar, having played each other three
times last season.
“It’s never an easy game,” Shelton
said. “But it’s always a challenging
game and an exciting game.”
The scores from last year cer-
tainly attest to that. UNC defeated
UVa. 2-1 in overtime during the
regular season, lost 1-0 in the ACC
Tournament and then defeated the
Cavaliers 3-2 in the semifinals of
the NCAA Tournament.
Sophomore Kelsey Kolojejchick
thinks the key to beating Virginia in
the NCAA tournament last year was
UNC concentrating on its own play.
“I think our focus is on how
we’re going to play, how we’re going
to outlet, how we’re going to score,”
Kolojejchick said. “We have to focus

on ourselves and build from there.
We want to worry about them, but
we want to make sure we don’t get
off our game and play theirs.”
The main thing the Tar Heels have
to worry about is Virginia’s speed.
“UVa.’s got a lot of speed and
they’re definitely one of the fastest
teams,” UNC goalie Jackie Kintzer
said. “We have a lot of speed so I
think it’s definitely going to be a
really high-paced game.”
The Cavaliers’ quick offense is
led by junior Paige Selenski who
has the fourth-most goals-per-
game in the country.
Shelton believes the key to shut-
ting down Selenski and the UVa.
offense is maintaining possession.
“We have to keep the ball,” Shelton
said. “If we’re giving them the ball
and providing them a lot of posses-
sion, it’ll be a long day for us.”
UVa. also has a strong goalkeeper
in Kim Kastuk. She plays an unusual
style and stays standing on penalty
corners. UNC is practicing for this
and hopes to exploit the style.
“Just having someone send
in hard balls and having deflec-
tors on the far post each time,”
Kolojejchick said. “That’s going to
be the best way instead of hitting
it right at her because she’s a very
good goalkeeper.”
Although UVa. is the biggest
threat yet to the Tar Heels’ perfect
record, Shelton is looking forward
to a tough game.
“I would expect it to be very close
and intense, and we look forward to
that,” Shelton said. “It’s that time of
the year, and it’s what we practice
for — to play the big games.”

Charlottesville win still eludes Tar Heels
UNC has lost 14 “It’s been a long
straight at UVa. time since we won
by Louie Horvath
senior writer
There may be no better proof of
the worn-out sports cliché “they
don’t play the games on paper”
than the last 29 years of the South’s
Oldest Rivalry between North
Carolina and Virginia.
Except for games against the
two schools at Scott Stadium, the
two programs would seem to be
evenly matched, as UNC went 174-
144-3 since 1981, and Virginia went
181-142-3.
Therefore, “paper” would sug-
gest that the two teams would
split their 14 meetings, or perhaps
Virginia would win a game or two
extra due to home-field advantage.
But on the field, the Cavaliers have
rolled off 14 straight against the Tar
Heels at home.
The streak is now long enough
that even the Tar Heel players —
usually the first to discount the
importance of streaks on future
play — are talking about it.
“Actually, we have been talking
about it,” wide receiver Jheranie
Boyd said.
“I know some of the guys have
said they haven’t beaten them here
(in Chapel Hill) in a long time too,
so we’re coming in with a differ-
ent attitude, trying to get that first
win.”
Scott Stadium has seen its share
of improbable Virginia wins during
this stretch. In 2002, the Cavs ral-
lied from an early 21-point deficit
to win 37-27 for what was then the
second-biggest comeback in pro-
gram history. In the 2008 contest,
the Wahoos won in overtime after
coming back from a 10-3 deficit
with two minutes left in regula-
tion.
Even those games pale in com-
parison to the 1996 matchup. The
Tar Heels entered the game with
an 8-1 record and held a 17-3 lead

Late-game goal key for UNC
by kelly parsons
staff writer
Prior to the North Carolina wom-
en’s soccer team’s Thursday night
match with Florida State, five of the
past eight games between the two
teams were overtime decisions.
But Thursday night at Fetzer
Field, the No.2 Tar Heels didn’t
need any extra minutes to put away
No. 7 FSU, knocking down the con-
ference-leading Seminoles 1-0.
With fewer than three and a
half minutes to go in the game and
the match still scoreless, junior
Courtney Jones
WOMEN’S shot the ball
soccer
toward the post,
FSU 0 hitting midfield-
UNC  1 er Ranee Premji,
who got her first
career and game-winning goal.
It might have been Premji’s first
score of the season, but it was a
long time coming for the aggres-
sive sophomore.
“She always keeps the ball, and
she turns well,” Jones said. “She’s
like this little thing that runs
around and causes problems for
every other team.”
The game-long stalemate was
a defensive battle for both squads,
as both teams combined for just 16
shots in the match. Despite the Tar
Heels outshooting the Seminoles 6-1
in the first half, missed opportunity
plagued them early in the game.
UNC’s best chance to score in the
first half came in the 15th minute
when leading scorer Kealia Ohai

trapped the ball on the left sideline
and hustled past three FSU defend-
ers. The freshman forward used
fancy footwork to cross it to Crystal
Dunn, but the rookie midfielder
wasn’t able to get a leg on it.
Ten minutes later Dunn, who
had the game-winning goal in over-
time against Virginia last Sunday,
settled the ball on the left side and
attempted a cross to Ohai. Again,
the two were unable to connect.
Despite snatching a win against
a talented Seminole squad, UNC
coach Anson Dorrance was disap-
pointed with his team’s execution.
“The issue we reviewed with them
was that we were certainly the bet-
ter team, but we had to have more
composure in our strike for goal and
also our final pass,” Dorrance said.
“I think we have to play with a little
bit more confidence.”
Florida State slowed the pace of
the game in the second half, and
Jones had the first shot of the half for
the Tar Heels in the 60th minute.
Dorrance is no stranger to
Florida State’s invasive style. One
of UNC’s three losses in the 2009
season came from coach Mark
Krikorian’s Seminoles.
“I never know what Mark’s going
to do,” Dorrance said. “All I knew
was that he’d figure out a way to
make it hard for us, and he did.”
UNC is now 23-2-2 against
Florida State, who dropped to 4-1

in the conference. UNC (12-1-1, 4-1)
is tied for third place in the confer-
ence with the Seminoles, behind
Wake Forest and Maryland.
Injury was a continued problem
for the Tar Heels, who went into
the matchup with the Seminoles
down three starters. And the situ-
ation went from bad to worse when
senior and defensive leader Rachel
Givan went down with a knee inju-
ry in the first half.
Having to sideline players might
dth/Allison Russell
have thrown Dorrance for a loop,
but Premji proved that success is
still the main focus for the banged
up Tar Heels.
“I’m filling in for Ali Hawkins
and that’s a big role to fill,” Premji
said. “We just play for each other.
It doesn’t really matter who’s out
there on the field, we just get the
job done.”

what he saw the next day.
At Kenan Stadium on Saturday
afternoon, Mike Merletti watched
the tunnel fill with smoke.
But leading the rowdy players bus-
tling through the fog, Matt Merletti
ran out, head down with the flag
raised high, as if, for one moment,
he might be able to carry its burden
for those who do it every day.
That’s what the Army Ranger
saw.
“I was overcome with emotion,”
Mike Merletti said in an e-mail
from Afghanistan. “For him to
honor all veterans in such a respect-
ful manner made me so proud.
“It’s in patriotic acts like the
one that Matt made that honor
those who have made the ulti-
mate sacrifice.”
Matt Merletti has carried the
flag out since — well, at least until
a preseason practice last season
when the safety felt his knee buckle
and heard a crunch.
Once the injury was confirmed,
Merletti’s season was over, but the
newfound tradition wasn’t.
“I would pick a guy each week to
run out with it, and I’d try to pick
a guy who the game meant a little
bit more to them,” Merletti said. “I
think I picked Da’Norris Searcy, he’s
from Atlanta, so I think I picked
was making his first career start.
Honoring a nation
Mike Merletti was back from
Afghanistan on leave. It was 2008
all over again. The older brother
passed the flag to the younger
brother the night before the LSU
game, this one from Afghanistan.
Merletti’s first start would be
one of four straight to begin this
season. And he’s made the most of
them, recording 16 tackles.
“I was so proud of the way he
came back from his ACL surgery
as a bigger, stronger and faster
player,” Mike Merletti said.
Though Merletti’s childhood
dream was to play in the NFL, his
goal now is simply to help the team
in any way he can.
“He’s obviously a favorite of mine
personally,” Davis said.
“You cannot have a good football
program without kids like that.
There’s a lot more blue-collar kids
playing college football than there
are the elite superstars.”
But the LSU game was special:
Merletti’s first start, in a nationally
televised game in Atlanta.
The routine was no different
than back at Kenan. Matt charged
onto the field with the flag in one
hand. The team followed.
It was the one thing all night that
both fan bases could agree on.
“I will tell you, every time I see
that flag come out, I know that my
son Mike carried that flag on com-
bat missions in Iraq and I know he
carried it in combat in Afghanistan,”
Lew Merletti said. “I am so proud
every time I see that come out. I
mean, literally, it chokes me up.”

Event to showcase food, wine Roy Williams
by Olivia Barrow
staff writer
Todd Wielar opened a wine store
because he loves to drink.
Owner and founder of Chapel
Hill Wine Company, Wielar started
out working in fine dining restau-
rants in Richmond, Va., but decid-
ed instead to make his wine hobby
into a business.
His company is one of 18 bever-
age companies joining 28 chefs and
businesses known for their support
of local farmers and sustainable
practices at TerraVITA, a food and
wine event at Southern Village on
Saturday.
The event has been in the works
for more than a year.
TerraVITA seeks to celebrate
sustainability and to educate the
550 expected attendees about good
farming and food practices while
also raising money through a silent
auction for local charities.
For Chapel Hill Wine, choosing
products made from organic or
sustainable farms is a natural part
of finding the best wines.
“Wines made sustainably happen
to be more interesting,” manager
Michael Klinger said. “Sustainable
wines really reflect our passion.”
Wielar opened his first store in
Hillsborough in 2002 after experi-
encing the wine industry from all
sides — having worked for a win-
ery, a distributor and a supplier.
Less than a year later, Wielar
opened his Chapel Hill store.
“He makes it fun and exciting,”
Klinger said. “We learned from him
to de-mystify wine.”
Colleen Minton, who is orga-
nizing the TerraVITA event, said
Chapel Hill is a great place for the
event because of its emphasis on
sustainable food practices.
“The wine importers and retail-
ers like Chapel Hill Wine Company
and 3 Cups are really known for
supporting small growers that
feature sustainable practices,” she
said.

The athletic department changed
its social media policy in August as
the NCAA investigation was in full
swing, leaving 13 players out of
UNC’s first game against LSU.
“We’ve always told (athletes) on
the outset that they should come at
social media as they would with the
press,” athletic department spokes-
man Steve Kirschner said before
Thursday’s policy change.
“That what they say, because
they are student athletes, they are
representatives of UNC and are
public figures.”
The athletic department’s policy
requires each team to designate a
Michael Klinger, manager of Chapel Hill Wine Company, is responsible for the more than 1,200 bottles of
wine in his store. He sells wines from areas including South Africa, Australia, France and North Carolina.
One part of the event’s education-
al component is a demonstration of
how to cook with grass-fed beef.
“If people don’t have a good
experience with it, they’re not as
apt to follow those positive trends,”
Minton said.
Wielar has a two-pronged busi-
ness model: Be the best at what
you do, and give back to the com-
munity.
The company’s website reflects
the evolution of its business, stat-
ing, “We don’t sell tea cozies, or
balloon animals … We’re your wine
guy.”
Although Wielar sold a variety
of items including beer, cheese and
coach or administrator to regularly
monitor the players’ postings.
It also details student ath-
letes’ responsibilities to portray
themselves, their team, and the
University in a positive manner at
all times.
“Getting them used to the idea
that the outside world, whether
it’s the media or others, will be
looking at their social media posts
to see what they post — not just
friends and family — getting them
to understand that has been more
challenging,” Kirschner said.

gift baskets when he first opened
the store, he decided to focus only
on wine.
“We want to be experts at what
we do,” he said. “We decided to
spend 100 percent of our effort on
100 percent of our sales as opposed
to spreading ourselves thin.”
But for Wielar, giving back to
the community is most important
because the community supports
the business.

said, in reference to Houston’s role

Holden Thorp’s band.
But after three meetings spread
between Oct. 8 and Oct. 13, Carney
and Houston found that they had
a shared vision for improving the
recruitment — and retention —
ment for minority students.
“To borrow a phrase from our
chancellor, it is about what creates
an environment that embraces
our ideas and our identity,” said
Houston. “Are we there yet? No.”

The most memorable moment
in Roy Williams’ life was not when
he hoisted the 2005 National
Championship trophy in St. Louis.
Nor was it when he held the 2009
National Championship trophy in
Detroit.
Rather, he stated it occurred
one morning when he was quoted
in the New York Times and Los
Angeles Times about agents.
“I’ve never enjoyed agents.
Period,” Williams said at UNC bas-
ketball media day Thursday.
Agents found their way into
Williams’ preseason address to the
media in light of the NCAA inves-
tigation into improper benefits
between agents and players in the
football program.
Williams said that his basketball
program is in “great shape” and no
one from either the University or
the NCAA has requested a meeting
with him or any of the players.
In his 22 seasons as a head
coach, Williams said he has always
made strides to ensure his players
are protected from agents.
“I can’t imagine anybody in the
country who worries about it and
tries to keep their eyes and ears
open on it more than I,” Williams
said. “I personally check every tick-
et list; I’m the guy who stuffs every
envelope for every road game. I
want to know who is hanging out
in the locker room.”
Williams said he doesn’t have
an agent like most coaches,
and he used the dean of Kansas
University’s law school for his con-
tracts with KU and UNC.
When asked what is so distaste-
the care they deserve.
“To have the person leading that
step away and still have someone
to give it leadership and purpose
— that’s huge,” said Houston, who
was considered second-in-charge
within the office of diversity and
multicultural affairs.
“We cannot afford to lag.”
Houston said the office does not features events representing the
pigeonhole the term “diversity” into overall theme — “Celebrate What’s
a racial context, but rather expands Great.”
the term to one’s sexual orientation,
creed and economic background.
Those aspects combine to make
diversity an inherently volatile
issue that requires strong leader-
ship and action, she said.
“College campuses are reactive
beings,” Houston said, citing the
University’s creation of the Alert
Carolina system after the 2008
shooting at Northern Illinois
University and review of the Greek
system in the aftermath of former
Delta Kappa Epsilon President
Courtland Smith’s death in 2009.
Houston said the University
must be proactive with regard to
diversity efforts, noting the recent Freeze, director of marketing for
suicide of 18-year old Rutgers
University student Tyler Clementi
as the most recent incident related is always a celebratory place with
to diversity.
“We’re one situation away from
that,” she said. “We can’t rest on our
laurels and think that just because pro sports teams,” he said.

ful about agents, Williams said
there was not enough time to fully
articulate all his dislikes.
“There’s really nothing they can
do for you,” Williams said. “I mean
you can either play or you can’t.”
“They want your money. … I’ve
had a guy tell me, ‘Well we’re not
going to charge four percent, we’re
only going to charge two percent.
I said, ‘I wouldn’t do it for a hot
fudge sundae with nuts.’”
UNC football coach Butch Davis
has implemented policies to better
monitor his players. He requires
players to sign out when they leave
campus for holidays or vacations.
“Another thing which is criti-
cally important is anybody who
is a financial advisor or agent, or
anybody who might represent his
personal interest must contact
our administration and set up an
appointment,” Davis said in a press
conference on Monday.
Williams said coaches have
no way of monitoring everything
players do and added that people
should know right from wrong.
The coach referenced a time
when a player approached him
with the idea that he would go to
law school to become an agent.
The thought did not sit well with
Williams, and he said he would
never speak to the player again if
he chose that career path.
“I don’t like the guys,” he said.
“Even the guys that are good, I
don’t like them.”
“They know that. I tell them
right up front. It is scary — beware
of strangers bearing gifts.”

Obama wants more grads

Community colleges to take more in
by sneha rao
staff writer
The Obama administration is
looking to boost community college
enrollment in order to increase the
number of graduates nationwide.
President Barack Obama has
set a goal for the U.S. to reach by
2020: to lead the world in produc-
ing college graduates, and to do so
in part by generating five million
more degrees and certificates at
community colleges.
But administrators at commu-
nity colleges in North Carolina say
they are already struggling with
limited resources; enrolling a sig-
nificant number of new students
might not be a possibility.
Obama and Vice President
Joe Biden’s wife, Jill, hosted the
first White House Summit on
Community Colleges earlier this
month to encourage community
college enrollment.
The President also launched the
American Graduation Initiative, a
new program that would increase
financial aid to students and invest
money in community colleges.
Scott Ralls, president of the
N.C. Community College System,
attended the summit to represent
the state.
“We know that our commu-
nity colleges are where North
Carolinians turn for hope, oppor-
tunity and jobs,” Ralls said.
“This summit is further acknowl-
edgement by President Obama’s
administration that community
colleges are key to economic recov-
ery,” he said.
Community colleges across the
state are having trouble adjusting
to large enrollments, but some
administrators said they were sup-
portive of Obama’s initiative.
“I applaud him for bringing the
attention of community colleges
to America,” said Eric McKeithan,
president of Cape Fear Community
College.
“We need to move America back
to a prominent position in educa-
tion,” he said.
McKeithan said the college saw
a growth of 16 percent in class size
last year alone.
Many people had to be turned
away from the college because of a
lack of space, he said.
To accommodate the large
number of enrollments, the col-
lege extended operational hours
to weekends and Friday nights,
McKeithan said.
The college also rented extra
rooms in Wilmington, he said.
Uncertain economic conditions
might be one reason community
college enrollment is increasing.
“Our enrollment for the last two
years has been up — community
colleges are very tied to the econ-
omy,” said Megan Hoenk, director
of marketing and external affairs
of N.C. Community Colleges
System.
“What we saw in 2008 was that
we saw a lot of displaced workers
who decided to go to school to gain
additional skills or go into another
career.”

an artistic director of the event.
“Which is amazing, isn’t it?
“I was joking that for a town the
size of Hillsborough that means
like half the town is marching in
the parade, and the other half is
watching it.”
Donley said people from across
the Triangle have come to construct
the giant puppets, which he said
live up to their description.
“We’ve gotten to the point where
our puppets have been restricted by
two things,” he said. “The height is
the power lines, and the width is
the width of the street.”
This year’s theme, “Eno River
Rhythm,” encourages participants
to look to nature for musical and
constructional inspiration.
“We wanted to create a parade
where people were thinking not
only about the costumes and pup-
pets that they’re creating, but the
movement, the motion, the migra-
tion and all the words that go with
that word rhythm,” said Donley.

APPLES celebrates Campus Y celebrates

20th with a reunion 150 years of innovation
by Alex Barinka
staff writer
The University’s APPLES pro-
gram will celebrate 20 years of
service-minded learning with its
Alumni Reunion this Saturday
from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Center
for Dramatic Art.
APPLES is a student-led pro-
gram which merges academics and
experiential, community-based
service into courses at UNC.
The anniversary event will look
back on the past two decades of the
program through alumni speakers,
the unveiling of the 20th anniver-
sary video and words from current
APPLES organizers.
“APPLES merges what we learn
in the classroom with real issues in
the community,” said junior Natalia
Smirnova, who took courses in the
curriculum.
This was the idea that drove
Tony Deifell, a junior in 1990, to
lead the task force that founded
the program. He will be speaking
at this weekend’s reunion.
Five students and four UNC pro-
fessors and faculty members began
the program with six service-learn-
ing courses in that first year.
During the 2009-10 school year,
more than 2,400 students were
involved in about 100 APPLES
courses, said Program Development
Coordinator Carolyn Byrne.
APPLES President Nisha Verma
said the variety of offerings helps
students establish relationships
with the communities they’re most
interested in serving.
“We try to expose students to
a wide range of community part-
ners,” she said, adding that it gives
the students exposure to hands-on
volunteer opportunities.
Students take courses for cred-
it from UNC while also fulfill-
ing related service requirements.
Curriculum in the classroom
teaches about the foundational
issues of why problems exist within
the communities they are working
with, Verma said.
Smirnova said that interaction
gives the class work more signifi-
cance.
“The program helps give a sense
of purpose by projecting the course
work into the real world,” she said.
“It benefits the student because it
makes sense of the education.”

A nurse of 28 years, Joyce Kern
is passionate about her profes-

Kern, who works for UNC
Hospitals, shared her passion
with middle and high school stu-

City Schools and Orange County
Schools at the third annual career
fair Thursday evening.
“There’s always going to be a
need for doctors and nurses and
maybe someday it will click for
some of these students,” she said.
“If the career fair pulls one stu-

that’s what we’re about.”
About 80 businesses in indus-
tries like health care, sustainability,
agriculture, construction and video

the exposition held at University
Mall.
The largest employer was UNC
Health Care.
“A lot of kids don’t realize the
broad range of specialties available
in health care,” said Tom Maltais,
assistant director of external affairs
for UNC Health Care.
“For example, we have 35 differ-

Let’s all
learn from
Coples’
mistake
T
hursday, UNC students got
another reminder to mind
what they say online.
It started when junior defen-
sive end Quinton Coples posted
a Tweet disparaging gays. His
apology, posted a few hours later,
wasn’t much better: “im not
aginst gay people im just hetero-
sexual.”
Reaction against Coples’ tweet
was swift. Steve Kirschner, the
athletic department’s spokesman,
said at first he hadn’t seen the
tweet but “clearly, it’s inappropri-
ate.”
That’s the right response, and
now we all have an opportunity
to learn from Coples’ mistake.
News reports from the last few
months are filled with stories of
students who have killed them-
selves after being bullied. Before
their deaths, these teens were
tormented by their peers for being
gay, or sometimes for “acting” gay.
One of those students was
Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers
University student who jumped
off a bridge to his death after his
roommate secretly filmed and
broadcast a sexual encounter.
At Johnson and Wales in Rhode
Island, openly gay Raymond
Chase hanged himself in his
dorm room. All told, at least five
gay students have killed them-
selves in the past three weeks.
If that number doesn’t alarm
you, it should. It should serve as a
constant reminder to all that what
we say and write matters.
Online, it’s sometimes hard
to remember that. It’s easy to
think what you say won’t have an
impact in the great abyss that is
the Internet.
But what you say only has to
matter to one person. To that one
person, the one who reads the
hate you spew and wrestles inter-
nally with the names people call
him or her, what you say matters
a lot.
I spend a lot of time on
Facebook and Twitter as commu-
nity manager. I find value in what
others say, and I love the way the
sites bring people together and
foster discussion.
At the same time, those online
communities are only as strong
as we make them. As partici-
pants, we have a responsibility
to make those communities safe
havens for everyone.
When you see a Tweet which
disparages anyone because of
what race they are, who they love,
or what they believe, tell that
person what they said was wrong.
Stop following them.
When you see something
offensive on Facebook, flag it as
abusive and report the comment.
We must also take responsibil-
ity for what we say ourselves. Even
protected accounts are only so
private, and saying a hateful com-
ment to a few people as opposed
to many doesn’t make it any less
hateful.
And when you come across
someone who is a little different
from you, take time to learn more
about that person.
A day before Coples’ tweet,
Chancellor Holden Thorp sent
an e-mail to students and faculty
expressing his sympathies over
the deaths of Clementi and Chase.
Thorp implored students to
“think about the impact of the
choices you make when you
share information about yourself
and others. We have much to
be proud of at Carolina, so let’s
remember that this also means
looking out for each other.”
Thorp couldn’t be more right.
If we don’t look after each other,
no one will.

Moving forward, looking back
At its 150th anniversary, the Campus Y
should embrace its activist past
A
s we celebrate the
Campus Y´s 150-year
history this weekend, I
feel immense pride in the cata-
lyzing role it has played in stu-
dent ideas and action through-
out UNC’s history.
For me, the true weight of the
Campus Y’s contribution only
becomes clear through the oral
histories of its leaders, such as
Jim Medford. Their stories give
life to its instrumental role in
the struggle for desegregation,
the fight against the Speaker
Ban, and the opposition to the
Vietnam War at UNC.
Such accounts provide
insight into the defining char-
acteristic of the Campus Y:
an unwavering commitment
to act out against injustice,
regardless of the scale or power
of the opposition. Such a com-
mitment forms the essence of
the organization and breeds
the infectious spirit that has
continually attracted some of
the university’s best minds.
Fulfilling this creed, howev-
er, no longer drives collective
mobilization of all members
of the Campus Y but has been
ceded largely to individual
committees. In seeking to ful-
fill its goal of promoting social
justice through pluralism, the
Campus Y consistently brands
itself as an organization that
welcomes all ideas.
Although such commit-
ment upholds the Campus
Y’s ideal that all viewpoints
should have our ears, it must
be coupled with the duty to
critically evaluate these ideas
and, when necessary, strongly
denounce those that contrib-
ute to oppression.
During my three years of
involvement — one as a com-
mittee co-chair — the Campus
Y as a whole has failed to sub-

­— so, it would be a good idea to

Listening to Chancellor
Holden Thorp on University
Day, visitors might have
thought they had come to the
University of Innovation.
At center stage was
“Innovate@Carolina” — the
new innovation roadmap.
It’s certainly a visionary doc-
ument, calling for $125 million
of investment in programs
affecting the University and
community. The plan includes
both concrete initiatives and a
culture of innovation, intended
to affect students.
So, it is unfortunate that the
average student is unlikely to
have heard of it yet, outside the

stantively act on any issue
with a political bent.
With as salient an issue as
health care dominating the
national political scene last
year, the Campus Y should
have acted as the organizing
force on campus to ensure
an effective policy to pro-
vide universal access to this
human right.
Similarly, the Campus Y
should have been the first
organization on campus to
support our housekeepers in
the face of demeaning treat-
ment permitted by University
policy. But in both cases, stu-
dent mobilization primarily
coalesced outside its doors.
This aversion to the sup-
posedly “political” must end:
Maintaining an apolitical
stance and promoting social
justice are inherently para-
doxical.
In order to remain relevant,
the Campus Y must regain its
stature as a collective of stu-
dent activists which provides
a leading moral voice in our
community to supplement the
already high-impact work of its
committees.
Throughout its history,
the Campus Y has embraced
controversy and opposition,
not for the sake of it, but as
expected outcomes of pro-
gressive ideals and action. In
committing itself in the fight
select student innovation team
led by Shruti Shah.
It is understandable that the
time pressures hindered major
student consultation, given the
road map was put together in
just a year.
But if the Chancellor wants
innovation at the University to
include more than just niche
groups within the student body,
then comprehensive student
input must be a high priority.
The members of the
Chancellor’s Student Innovation
Team represent some of UNC’s
best and brightest.
But they cannot guarantee
student buy-in alone.
Opposition to the recent
Innovation Hub funding pro-
posal, because of poor commu-
nication of detail to students,
should serve as a cautionary
tale for administrators — even

for justice and challenging the
status quo, the Campus Y will
inevitably anger some but will
also provide needed leader-
ship in bringing together the
diverse yet dedicated advo-
cates for social change in our
university.
To move forward, the Campus
Y must enhance communication
between its base and leadership,
create effective exchanges with
more community partners, and
draw from ideas and strategies
developed outside its current
constituency.
However, this reform must
begin with basic restructur-
ing. The Cabinet, comprised of
the Executive Board and com-
mittee co-chairs, should func-
tion as a space for identifying
pertinent issues and crafting
an informed Campus Y-wide
response.
The Executive Committee
should then lead the imple-
mentation of these plans with
education and mobilization of
the larger community as a cen-
tral goal to achieve success.
Using the minds and passion
of student leaders that have
shaped such innovative orga-
nizations as HOPE, Nourish
International, and Carolina
Microfinance Initiative, the
Campus Y could mobilize the
UNC community around issues

for projects which do not require
student funding.
It is all very well to make
plans for the benefit of stu-
dents. But often students are
left to the fringes of the process,
to the detriment of plans.
Shah and her team should
be commended for their efforts
so far and their commitment
to communicate plans to other
students across campus.
But this isn’t just the job of
the Student Innovation Team: if
Chancellor Thorp is truly com-
mitted to the student aspects of
the innovation plan, he needs
to lead right now in bringing
his vision of innovation to the
whole student body.
And if innovation becomes
more than just a sound bite for
the average student, then the
goals of the road map are more
likely to be achieved.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Celebrate the Campus Y’s
anniversary this weekend
TO THE EDITOR:
First, we want to say thanks
to The Daily Tar Heel for its cov-
erage of the Campus Y’s 150th
anniversary on Sept. 28.
We would like to invite you
all to the 150th anniversary cel-
ebration of the Campus Y this
weekend. It is an exciting time
in the history of the Campus
Y’s commitment to social jus-
tice. Many of the Y alumni who
were at the forefront of causes
such as integration, pushing
for racial equality, women’s
equality, environmental rights,
and Vietnam War protests are
returning.
This weekend is a chance to
celebrate and continue conver-
sations about social change in
our world.
Students eat for free if they
register Friday, October 15 at the
Campus Y from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
However, you do not have to reg-
ister for the non-food events, just
show up. We would love to see
you there.

TO THE EDITOR:
Carolina strives to be an
inclusive and diverse com-
munity for people of all back-
grounds.
In 2004-05, the Chancellor’s
Task Force on Diversity conduct-
ed assessments and research
on the climate of diversity and
used the results of the research
to determine the steps need-
ed to create a more inclusive
atmosphere for learning, living,
working and visiting.
Each year since 2006,
the Office for Diversity and
Multicultural Affairs has pro-
vided annual reports summariz-
ing efforts led by academic and
administrative units to achieve
the goals of the Diversity Plan
adopted and implemented in
fall 2006.
Now, five years after the origi-
nal assessment, we want to learn
what has changed as a result of
the efforts made to achieve the
goals of the plan and to learn
what else we must do to achieve
our vision for a diverse and inclu-
sive community.
Beginning Monday, Oct.
11, through Wednesday, Oct.
20, the Office of Diversity and
Multicultural Affairs in con-
junction with the Office for
Institutional Research and
Assessment will administer a
web-based survey to a randomly
drawn sample of students and all
faculty and all staff.
This is everyone’s opportu-
nity to contribute to their voice
and viewpoints on how we can
achieve an inviting, welcoming
and supportive Carolina com-
munity for everyone.
Please take a few minutes
to respond to the survey and
encourage your colleagues to
do the same.

To the people who choose
which Kvetches to publish,
which one of you do I have to
sleep with to be chosen?
To the girl who itemized her
sorority expenses — too bad
all that money couldn’t buy
you some class.
Stop talking about how you
have soccer practice and
games. You’re the manager.
Johnny White for President.
To a certain UNC boy, if
you can’t even pay for my
McDonalds then don’t expect
your hand to get anywhere
near my pants.
To the State fan driving down
I-40 who rolled down his window
to stick his thumbs down at my
mom’s UNC flags on her car and
lost his own State flag: Brilliant.
To every UNC professor ever,
you can simply refer to “that
school in Durham” as Duke.
To the girl walking around
campus with a stuffed unicorn
on her head … why?
I love being a conservative on
such an open-minded, accepting
campus.
Does anyone know where I
can register to vote?
Dear DTH: Benefits or not,
Marvin Austin is a student

Can you actually be supportive
of student athletes and not
deface his picture with DONE?
Sport shorts: $30. Rainbow
sandals: $60. Sorority T-shirt:
$20. Being honest about what
you actually wear every day:
Priceless.
To that guy I hung out with
ONE time, stop calling me and
take me out of your profile
picture. You’re creepy.
Dear “heterosexual” male who
was telling his friend how he
hooked up with a crazy, hot
female model while in NY for
FASHION WEEK, who are you
kidding? We all know you went
shopping for Manolos too.
It’s odd to watch someone
you don’t know attempt to
Facebook stalk you, especially
when you are sitting right
beside them in Davis.
“Thorp always makes an A.”
I guess grade inflation is a
problem at Carolina after all.
Yo Greg Little, I’mma let you fin-
ish your apology, but Reggie Bush
was the greatest cheater ever.
To the tour guide who told her
impressionable, young high
school tourees that “advising
is really helpful at UNC”: I
made my best, sarcastic bull-
shit face right at all of them
when I walked by.
Cargo pockets are only accept-
able if they are digital camo
and you are killing terrorists.
To the tattooed guy on the
Quad trying to get to Italy by
hassling people with magazine
subscriptions and piggy-back
rides to the ATM: No, thank you.
Really? You and your friend real-
ly thought it was okay to walk
around me to take the ONLY
open computer in the UL lab?
