Morrison given green honor
Wins national competition
by Jack Partain
staff writer
UNC is months away from taking on N.C. State
University inside the Dean Dome. But on the asphalt
court outside Morrison Residence Hall on Tuesday,
it was OK to be a loser.
Facing an elaborate stage featuring plasma screen
televisions, the crowd of more than 100 cheered as
Bob Harper of NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” announced
via video that the south campus dormitory had lost
the largest percentage of energy consumption in
the Environmental Protection Agency’s inaugural
Energy Star National Building Competition.
The residence hall triumphed against 13 finalists
including hotels, shopping malls and an N.C. State
University dormitory.
“This is one of the very few times that I can say
that I’m really happy to be a bigger loser than N.C.
State’s Wolfpack,” said Executive Vice Chancellor
and Provost Bruce Carney, to a laughing crowd.
“This is something that needs to be a part of our
future and a part of our culture,” he added, noting the
University’s need to continue sustainability efforts.
In addition to winning the competition, the resi-
dence hall received an Energy Star rating by the EPA,
placing it in the company of 58 dorms nationwide.
The EPA gives the Energy Star ratings to buildings
that score in the top 25 percent nationally, according
to its energy guidelines. The EPA says those build-
ings generally cost 50 cents less per square foot to
operate than the average building.
Morrison cut energy consumption by 36 percent in
a year, preventing 733 metric tons of greenhouse gas
emissions and cutting $250,000 in energy bills.
Chris Martin, director of energy management for
UNC, spearheaded the Watt-Busters, the team that
transformed Morrison into an energy-saver.
He said the team focused on four points: a heat-
ing and cooling system tune-up, a solar-powered
water heating system, lighting upgrades and an
awareness campaign.
“What we’ve done here is learn a lot that we can
apply as we move through the rest of campus,” he
said, upon accepting the award.
Martin said energy consumption improvements
were made in more than 100 campus buildings for
a total savings of $3.9 million last year alone, but he
doesn’t plan on stopping there.
By the end of the year, Martin expects to have
made improvements on all UNC buildings.
“The average cost for improvements was $7,000
for each building and the average annual savings
was over $33,000 for each building, which equates
to a savings of about two and a half months of energy
bills per building.”
Morrison’s solar panels cost $186,000, financed
by a student fee and a grant from the state’s energy
office. The dorm opened in 2007 after renovations.
Martin stressed that continued success would be
largely dependent on the University community.
“This work is like planting grass. We have to
remain diligent and keep mowing the grass to keep
the efficiencies we’ve achieved,” he said.
Stephanie Tolar, a freshman environmental sci-
ence and math double major and Morrison resident,
works with the Renewable Energy Special Projects
Committee. The committee was created by a student
referendum in 2003 and manages a fund created by
a $4 per semester student fee. It funded the Morrison
project and other campus green initiatives.
She said working to make Morrison more envi-
ronmentally friendly was a collaborative effort.
“It’s a very big thing around the dorm, there are
signs and flyers up everywhere,” she said. “Everyone
wants to do their part.”

Standard state aid proposed Congress changes election policy
Tuition not a consideration
by elise young
staff writer
If a recommendation for simplifying the state’s
financial-aid system is followed, students from simi-
lar economic circumstances in the UNC system would
be receiving the same amount of aid, regardless of the
tuition costs they pay.
At the request of the UNC and N.C. community col-
lege systems’ presidents, a work group comprised of state
education officials studied simplifying the financial-aid
system and recommended standardizing a formula for
calculating aid awards for students and consolidating
three sources of state financial aid into one.
The proposed formula is the same as the federal
formula, which calculates expected family contribu-
tion without taking into account cost of tuition.
If legislators decide the recommendation should
be implemented, the public education systems would
receive the same amount of money from the state that
they currently receive.
But students could receive different amounts of aid

Chris Martin, director of UNC energy management, accepts a present for members of Watt-Busters, a group of UNC
students participating in an energy-saving competition. Morrison Residence Hall won a national efficiency contest.
“This is something that needs to be a part of our future and
a part of our culture." Bruce CArney, executive vice chancellor and provost
than they have in the past.
“Because this proposal does not recognize dif-
ferences in tuition, it tends to favor campuses with
lower tuition rather than those with higher tuition,”
said Steve Brooks, executive director of the N.C. State
Education Assistance Authority.
He estimated that students at the five most expen-
sive UNC-system universities — UNC-CH, N.C. State
University, UNC School of the Arts, UNC-Greensboro
and UNC-Charlotte — would lose the most state aid,
while students at the other 11 universities would
mostly gain state aid.
But UNC-CH said it is committed to making
up student loss in state aid, even as the University
addresses budget cuts.
The recommendation includes creating a pay-
ment schedule, which would establish a set rate of aid
awards based on expected family contribution. There
would be one set rate for all UNC-system students and
an adjusted rate for community college students.
N.C. Sen. Eddie Goodall, R-Mecklenburg, said
he is worried about how students who are currently

by Brooke Hefner
staff writer
If a bill passed Tuesday by the
Student Congress is approved, the
field for the February student body
president election will be smaller
— but each of the candidates’ pock-
ets will be deeper.
By a nearly unanimous vote, the
proposed amendment to Title VI,
the student government general
election laws, passed after being
proposed earlier this month.
The bill would result in a
250-signature increase to the min-
imum of 1,000 unique signatures
required for student body presi-
dent candidates to be confirmed.
It would also increase campaign
funding by $50, to $300 per can-

Wrong
records
revealed
in audit
Education school
makes adjustments
by Claire McNeill
staff writer
Some employees in the School of
Education are still reeling from the
effects of an audit that revealed thou-
sands of wrongly reported leave hours.
The audit began in November 2009
at the request of the UNC Department
of Human Resources. By its February
completion, the audit revealed sub-
stantial over- and understatements of
leave balances — some by as many as
200 hours — that mostly stemmed from
years of inaccurate record-keeping.
The University now is correcting
leave hour records to make up for the
discrepancies and auditing the elec-
tronic system that replaced the human
system responsible for the errors.
Leave was either improperly added
or incorrectly entered where it had not
been taken or earned, said University
spokesman Mike McFarland. A few
errors also came from inaccurate year-
to-year balance updates.
McFarland said the total value of leave
time taken but not counted was worth
about $63,000, and the total value of
time understated was about $75,000.
The University attempted to correct
the errors by adding to or reducing leave
balances of the employees. In some
cases, former employees were billed for
overstated hours.
The balances were changed to reflect
their correct values. In some cases, leave
balances were altered significantly.
A state law says overpayments to
employees must be taken back.

LEARN NC, worked with the School of

League gives clothing to kids
by Victoria Stilwell
city editor
Pink is Shelly Smith’s favorite
color.
It’s also the color of the new scarf,
T-shirt and New Balance sneakers
she pulled out of a brown paper
bag more than half her height.
“I like them,” said 7-year-old
Shelly. “This’ll be an outfit.”
Shelly was one of about 75
Central Elementary School stu-
dents to receive her share of
nearly $8,000 in clothes from the
Assistance League Triangle Area’s
Operation School Bell project
Tuesday afternoon.
Volunteers from the league and
Shoe Carnival were on hand to dis-
tribute the bags — filled with items
ranging from underwear to sweat-
shirts — to low-income students.
“We like to see the kids smile,”
said Shelley Stirling, league chair-
woman of the project. “There is a
huge need.”
This is the second year the
league has worked with Central,
which is the only school in the
county to benefit from the nation-
ally organized program so far,
Stirling said.
“We talked to the superintendent
and said, ‘Do you have a school out
there that you think might benefit
from our program?’
“He talked with some of the
principals, and he said, ‘We think
Central would be a great place to
start,’ and so that’s why we’re here.”
Stirling said the league, com-
posed of about 75 volunteers, raised
as much as $70,000 to buy new
clothes for 10 schools in Durham,
Wake and Orange counties.
The league has a thrift shop in
Raleigh — Antiques to Zippers
Resale — that supports its pro-
grams. Also, the group uses funds
and grants as well as a marketing
campaign to raise money each year,
Stirling said.
Shelly Smith,7, holds up a pink shirt she got from Operation School
Bell, a program run by the Assistance League of the Triangle area.
Vickie Mebane, Central’s fam-
ily specialist social worker, said
the children were chosen based on
referrals from teachers and their
qualification for the free or reduced
lunch program.
Students are randomly selected
based on the number of the school’s
children the league can serve.
“We usually write their names
down and put them in a container
or something, and we just shake
them up and draw, shake them up
and draw, until we reach the num-
ber that we have,” Mebane said.
“The assistance league is also
nice enough that if we have some
left over that are really in need,
they would give us extras.”
Jennifer Diaz, 6, tried on her
pair of sneakers before she left the
cafeteria toting her bag of clothes.
“They’re good,” said Jennifer,
who explained that she liked her

UNC back at home in Carmichael Arena

Volleyball takes 11 wins in Chapel Hill
by megan walsh
assistant sports editor
The North Carolina volleyball
team returned to its roots when it
moved back to the newly renovated
Carmichael Arena with high expec-
tations for its season.
After two years of matches on
the Smith Center’s floor, the UNC
seniors, who played in Carmichael
their freshmen season, have made
a triumphant return to the arena,
where they’ve posted an 11-1 home
record thus far.
With the leadership of seniors
Courtney Johnston, Suzanne Haydel
and Christine Vaughen, the Tar
Heels planned on going undefeated
in Chapel Hill for their homecom-
ing season in the arena where UNC
volleyball first got its start.
Standing across the net against
a stacked Penn State team, North
Carolina opened its home season
with a loss. But that loss came to
none other than the back-to-back-
to-back national champions and
remains the team’s only dropped
match in Carmichael this season.
“Because we had made it one
of our preseason goals to keep
Carmichael undefeated, we were
like ‘All right, that match doesn’t
even count,’” Haydel said. “So we’ve
got to make sure that every match
at home needs to be a win for us,
especially competing in the ACC.”
The Tar Heels bounced back to
secure two wins on their home court
the very next day in the Carolina
Classic, and their success has only
continued as the season progresses.
“I think it’s a huge honor to
be able to play back here again,”
Johnston said. “Talking about vol-
leyball, there’s been 12 ACC cham-
pionships won in here in the last
20 years, and to be able to possibly
have another one of those won and
put on our record board is a huge
accomplishment. That’s a huge goal
for us seniors — to have an unde-
feated ACC record at home.”
So far UNC volleyball has racked
up an impressive 9-2 ACC record,
with six of those victories coming
from inside Carmichael’s walls.
“The atmosphere is more senti-
mental and more personable,” said
Haydel, whose team has five home
matches remaining. “With the
kind of crowd we attract, the Dean
Dome was kind of overwhelming
and our crowd looked really small,
but here it’s great to see the whole
venue filled.”
UNC can pack Carmichael with
8,010 fans instead of the 21,750 it
takes to fill the Smith Center.
North Carolina has picked up
major wins against then-No. 14
Florida State in September and a
rolling Virginia Tech team Friday,
using home court advantage to fuel
its momentum.
“Especially because the opposing
teams haven’t been (in Carmichael)
for a few years and aren’t used to
it, that’s a really big positive advan-
tage for us,” UNC coach Joe Sagula
said. “Every team has their own
environment where they tend to
rally in and play better.”
With a locker room to call their
own and the coaches’ offices just
steps away from the court, the Tar
Heels call Carmichael a truly inti-
mate environment.
“Anytime you step on your home
court as a team, we’re mentally
focused on ‘This is our gym; this is
our home; this is our floor, and we
just have to defend it to the end,’”
Haydel said. “And I think we’ve
done a really good job with that.” dth File/ stephen kirsch

ZTA ‘Think Pink’ raises awareness, funds

Breast cancer focus of week’s events
by katia martinez
staff writer
Standing outside Lenoir Hall,
a dozen Zeta Tau Alpha sorority
members turned the Pit pink on
Tuesday.
The group was distributing pink
ribbons and cups of pink lemonade
to kick off “Think Pink,” a week-
long event aimed at recognizing
National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month.
To start the week, ZTA sisters
encouraged passersby to “pink out”
in honor of the victims of breast
cancer and to spread awareness.
ZTA Philanthropy Chairwoman
Stephanie McGowan said the
week’s events revolve around pre-
vention as opposed to treatment.
“We want to help stop the prob-
lem before it starts,” she said.
Sophomore Erica Andrews, who
was in charge of Monday’s event,
said seeing participation around
campus was a good sign of how the
rest of the week’s events and pro-
grams are going to turn out.
“It’s so great seeing everyone
walking around campus with
the ribbons,” Andrews said. “We
worked so hard to put this week
together that seeing students and
even faculty participating is so
rewarding.”
The rest of the week includes
a yogurt eating contest in the Pit
today, a baking marathon for both
ZTA and Alpha Kappa Alpha mem-
bers Thursday, a cookout Friday
and a luncheon at the Carolina Inn
on Sunday.
Proceeds will be donated to
several breast cancer groups,
including the UNC Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The cookout will be held at the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fra-
ternity house, which is participat-
ing for the first time in the event’s
three-year history. SAE President
Ryland Elliott said the cause is
important to both groups because
of the loss of UNC student Ashton
Miller.
Miller, who passed away from
an aggressive form of childhood
cancer last year as a senior, was a
member of ZTA and a close friend
to several SAE members.
Sunday’s luncheon will include
keynote speakers Dr. Lisa Carey,
medical director of the Breast
Center in the UNC Lineberger
Comprehensive Cancer Center,
and a breast cancer survivor whose
name is being kept secret until the
event.
“We are so excited for the speak-
ers,” McGowan said. “We’ve worked
closely with Dr. Carey to make this
happen and we are so grateful that
we can have her come to the lun-
cheon.”
McGowan said that having the
breast cancer survivor speak will
help give people a better perspec-
tive of how many people are affect-
ed by the illness.
“Most people think that only
older women get breast cancer,”
McGowan said. “By having a young
breast cancer survivor speak, we
can help people understand that
so many other women and men
are hurt by it.”
As ZTA has been working to
promote breast cancer awareness
and raise funds for the cause for
several years, McGowan said some
ZTA members have been directly
affected by breast cancer.
“We have had so many girls
have loved ones and family mem-
bers get breast cancer, and because
each year we get more and more
people affected by it, this cause
becomes more personal each year,”
McGowan said.

UNC initiative aims to NO Fear of Needles

A first-of-its-kind initiative
headed by the University will aim
to address the increasing trend of
adolescent violence in a rural coun-

UNC researchers received a fed-
eral grant of $6.5 million from the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention to plan and carry out
violence prevention activities.
The grant will also set up the

Paul Smokowski, the leading

Smokowski said.
“Our short-term goal is to cre-

will be implemented next year and
evaluate that initiative to make
sure it is efficient,” he said.

New owners might bring diver-
sity to Hillsborough’s only live
music venue, adding to the town’s
historic jazz roots.
For the past eight years, The Blue
Bayou Club, now named Katy’s at
the Bayou, has been a local hot spot
for jazz and blues lovers.
New owner Katy Stewart said
she plans to keep the Bayou close
to its original atmosphere, but she
does plan to integrate more variety
into the lineup of performers.
“I’ve started bringing in different
kinds of music — rock, Americana,
’80s bands,” Stewart said.
“There’s still a big jazz following,
but we needed to expand.”
Stewart, a daytime nurse and 13-
year Hillsborough resident, bought
the club about a month ago when
the former owner retired.
“I was a patron of the club for
many years,” Stewart said.
“Last year I heard talk of it being
sold, so I got a few people together
and we bought it.”
Katy’s at the Bayou is the only
live music venue in Hillsborough,
although several restaurants have
begun to host open mic and jazz
nights.
“The music scene is very impor-
tant in Hillsborough. It’s all a
part of the American experience,”
Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens
said. “It just goes with the town.
Jazz is in our history.”
Billy Strayhorn, a jazz com-
poser who once worked with Duke
Ellington, one of the most influen-
tial twentieth century jazz figures,
spent parts of his childhood in
Hillsborough.
The Hillsborough Arts Council
has made recent efforts to rein-
vigorate the jazz scene, Stevens
said.
In September, the council
revived the annual Jazz Festival,
which couldn’t be held in 2009 due
to budget constraints. Parlor con-
certs also will be held in historic
homes during the winter.
Jazz is also impor tant to
Hillsborough’s economy, Stevens
said.
“It’s a very strong arts commu-
nity and it brings people out,” he
said.
“Music has a very big economic
impact, not only on the performers
but on everyone. It brings people
out into the town. It’s a lifestyle
here.”
H i l l s b o r o u g h To w n
Commissioner Eric Hallman has
been playing in a jazz sextet for
eight years.
“When I grew up, we had most-
ly legit bands — marching bands,
orchestras,” Hallman said.
“When I got back to it, there had
been this explosion in jazz. That
really lit my fire.”
He said he has watched the jazz
scene mature over the past few
years and expects it to continue to
thrive.
Stewart said she plans on start-
ing a weekly designated jazz night
at the Bayou.
“It’s just so down and dirty to the
roots,” Stewart said.
“That’s the kind of people we
have around here. The people are
just really interested in jazz and the
history of jazz.”

of guest performers.
Director Seret Scott has inter-
preted many of Wilson’s works. The
connection that audiences form
with the characters makes the play
particularly exciting, she said.
“That’s the most wonderful part
of it — that people see themselves
in the play no matter what ethnic-
ity they are,” Scott said. “They see
the same story, the same people.”
It’s this universality that has
made “Fences” such a powerful
work, Scott said.

Candidates meet Greek

before the midterm elections.
The UNC College Republicans,

Interfraternity Council sponsored
a voter education cookout in
Fraternity Court on Tuesday after-
noon, serving hot dogs and chips
to approximately three dozen stu-
dents and campaign supporters.
Candidates for state and local
offices, as well as campaign repre-
sentatives, spoke briefly to those in
attendance, emphasizing the cam-
paigns’ various stances on educa-
tion issues and plans to support
economic growth.
“It’s hard to get fraternity guys
out,” said junior Tucker Piner, IFC
president.
Piner said he was pleased with
the number of Greeks in atten-
dance and the cookout was a part of
a larger effort by the IFC to encour-
age its members to take an active
role in other campus groups.
He also said he hopes the IFC’s

Junior Anthony Dent, chairman
of the College Republicans, also
said he thought the cookout was a
good idea for his group.
“The Greek community poses a
very unique opportunity,” he said.
Paul Cox, deputy campaign man-
ager for Price, said it was impor-
tant for students to be aware of the
issues being debated in this elec-
tion, including the future of public
education and job growth.
“It’s just to remind students of
what’s at stake,” Cox said.
He said Price has always been a
strong supporter of public educa-

federal government’s involvement
in that sector.
“We just can’t keep doing what

Lawson said the country needs

hit an Indonesian village
JAKARTA, Indonesia (MCT) —
At least 113 people were killed after
a tsunami triggered by a powerful
earthquake slammed into villages
on Indonesia’s Mentawai islands,
officials and aid workers said.
The Disaster Management
Agency in West Sumatra province
said 10 villages on the island chain
were swept away by waves as high
as three meters caused by Monday’s
7.2-magnitude quake.
Mujiarto, head of the Health
Ministry’s Crisis Centre, said the
latest information from Mentawai
showed “113 people were dead and
at least 150 others were missing.”
But the Indonesian Red Cross
put the number of missing at 502.
It said in a statement that 2,000
families were displaced and nine
boats were unaccounted for.
The National Disaster
Management Agency said most of
the deaths occurred in Pagai Utara
and Pagai Selatan districts.
Authorities had lifted a tsunami
warning one hour after the quake
and initially said there were no
reports of casualties or damage.
“The information came late
because communication was dif-
ficult,” said West Sumatra disaster
management chief Harmensyah,
who like many Indonesians uses
only one name.

Schools learn across borders

by Marissa Barbalato
staff writer
A partnership with a school in
Mexico will soon broaden the hori-
zons of local students.
Carrboro High School, along with
seven other schools in Chatham,
Durham, Orange and Wake coun-
ties, was selected by the Center for
International Understanding at
UNC to collaborate with schools in
Guanajuato, Mexico.
“It is still in its infant stages so
we haven’t developed the projects
the students will be doing, but I
couldn’t imagine people wouldn’t be
excited,” said Carrboro High School
Spanish teacher L.J. Randolph, who
is also the director of the Academy of
International Studies at the school.
“We’re looking forward to it, and
I hope the students will be too.”
Students from Carrboro High
and a partner school in Mexico
will collaborate with one another
High chooses its partner school.
Carrboro High principal Colin
Batten and Randolph said they will
tour schools in Mexico from Nov. 5
to Nov. 12. The program is sending
one teacher and one administrator
from every school involved, along
with members from the center, to
Mexico to learn about the culture.
“We are hoping to develop
a partnership with the school,”
Randolph said. “And I’ll work with
a few teachers from the school to
form some kind of conferencing
program.”
Randolph said the partner-
ship activities will incorporate the
theme of movement, as portrayed
by people, goods and animals
between the two countries.
Matt Friedrick, the center’s
director of K-12 global education
programs, said the program offers
students the ability to better under-
stand other cultures.
Randolph said Carrboro High’s
Spanish classes are most likely to
participate.
More than 70 percent of the
student body is enrolled in a world
language course with the majority
taking Spanish, Batten said.
“This partnership made sense
for us,” Batten said. “The center
knew they wanted schools from
this Triangle area, and so one of
the attractive features for Carrboro
High School was the Academy of
International Studies.”
The academy offers Carrboro
students the opportunity to take
electives like global cultures and
comparative religion.
Randolph said the overall oppor-
tunity will benefit students by help-
ing them gain real world experi-
ence and useful global skills.
“Whatever topic we decide on,”
he said, “students will be able to
examine that topic through the lens

instinct in you.
As you wait in line, you are
secretly observing the behavior of
your peers during a test of their
patience, seeing how well they
hold up against the pressure of
waiting, watching what they do
to entertain themselves.
The people in line with you
are usually unknown faces, but
somehow during the wait, you
become united in the linear con-

You finally reach the end and

suspicious glances from your

your order and a tacit farewell.
When the deal is done, you
unwrap your hot buns and feast
on the sight of them. There’s
always some cream cheese hang-

hot sauce. Somehow the taste
is always consistent, from first
chomp to last.
I’ve always hated bagels. They

Chancellor Holden Thorp’s
special assistant for innovation
and entrepreneurship, and has
been in this field for a while.
The plan will all depend on
enthusiastic individuals: the
road map is “not prescriptive,”
says Cone, framing the policies
as suggestions. “If someone
likes the ideas and wants to
adopt them, that’s their call.”
As vice president for emerg-
ing strategies at the Kauffman
Foundation, she led support for
entrepreneurship for a multi-
billion dollar foundation. It’s
an impressive resume.
Last year, she left a lakefront
office for a small basement
room in South Building, where
we came to talk with her.

you know Cone’s impact — she

Of course, many others were

one at UNC could have done
the job, but they’d have lacked
her “funder’s perspective.” It’s
a notable exception to UNC’s
string of internal hires.

neurship follows experience

NC-CH is a public uni-
versity for the people,
of the people and by
the people. It is the ultimate
meritocracy, a beacon of fair-
ness that should level the play-
ing field without consideration
for social or financial status.
But a recent report compiled
by a group of state officials to the
N.C. state legislature contains
recommendations to change the
standards of who gets aid. This
could cost UNC-CH students
$2.6 million in state grants for
need-based financial aid.
In the upcoming weeks, the
Joint Select Committee on State
Funded Student Financial Aid
in the N.C. General Assembly
will decide whether to imple-
ment the change.
Even though economic tur-
moil is threatening the finan-
cial security of the UNC sys-
tem, need-based financial aid
must remain among the most
protected items in the state’s
increasingly tight budget.
If these policies are imple-
mented by the state legislature,
they would adversely affect a
significant number of UNC-
CH students.
The University would have
to increase need-based finan-
cial aid from its own budget or
raise our tuition if it wants to
continue to provide financial
aid at the current rate.
This cannot stand. We realize
that budget cuts make it hard
for the state legislature to retain
its holistic approach to provide
affordable education for its citi-
zens. But by removing the very
qualities that make UNC-CH
great, we lose that very iden-
tity that drives those who care
about education.
The state legislature should
focus on the collective needs
of all students in UNC-system
schools instead of focusing
solely on redistribution.
Every student that has the
grades and the drive to be
accepted should be able enroll
at UNC-CH, regardless of
whether that student has the
money to afford it.
This is a University for the
people and the state’s policies
should reflect that, especially
in times as turbulent as these,
because the only way we will
grow as a University and as a
state is if we continue to invest
in all students.
