Schools, county depended on tax passing
by victoria stilwell
city editor
When voters defeated the county’s
proposed sales tax increase, they did
more than save themselves a quarter for
every $100 purchase.
Schools, emergency services, librar-
ies and economic development plans
were all slated to receive a portion of the
annual $2.3 million the increase would
have generated.
The Orange County Schools district
alone has nearly $58 million in structure
improvement needs lined up for the next
10 years, and projects for both the coun-
ty’s systems could be delayed as school
officials tighten their belts in expectation
of another year of heavy budget cuts.
Some residents questioned the dif-
ference such a small tax increase would
have made. Others said the tax raise
would have encouraged a county spend-
ing habit already out of control.
Now county officials must explore new
revenue channels to fund their projects,
a feat that could prove difficult in a chal-
lenging economic environment.
‘What it stands for is more’
Winton Smithwick, a 56-year-old
Hillsborough resident, said he voted
against the sales tax increase because he’s
tired of seeing the county waste money.
you can never give someone enough of
anything,” Smithwick said.
“No matter how much we give them,
they will always spend it and want
more.”

Smithwick said the services the sales
tax revenue would have gone toward did
not influence his decision. The govern-
ment has enough money, he said, and
spending cuts — not small tax increases
— are the answer.
“I didn’t care what they said it was
going to be raised for,” he said.
“It was a quarter-cent tax increase.
That means absolutely nothing except
what it stands for, and what it stands for
is more.”
County commissioner Steve Yuhasz
said he thinks the difficulty in reaching
the rural voting precincts accounts for
the tax increase’s defeat.
“It passed generally in Chapel Hill,
Carrboro and Hillsborough —the urban
precincts — but failed in almost all of the
rural precincts,” he said. “Part of that is
the difficulty that we have in reaching the
rural residents.
“There’s not a newspaper that regu-
larly reaches those people, there’s not a
radio station the equivalent of WCHL,
the internet access is much more sketchy
in the rural parts of the county.”
Freshman Ashcon Livingston said he
didn’t see any literature on the increase,
one of the reasons he voted against it.
“I looked up all the candidates, but
then I got to that part, and I hadn’t heard
anything about the tax increase, and I
just voted against it.”
He said the county should have adver-
tised the tax increase through more
mediums like Facebook and fliers.
“I really didn’t know what the money

to the N.C. General Assembly.
“Erskine has taken a business approach to handling the
system’s lack of resources,” said Phillip Dixon, member of
the board’s budget and finance committee.
“We’re really cutting down to the bones now and it’s
getting to be a really tough decision,” he said.
Bowles has recommended a budget labeled as the
“A-list,” which consists of the system’s main priorities and
adds up to more than $105 million.
The proposal also has a “B-list,” which includes requests
that total $41 million. Items on this list focus on individu-
al campus needs deemed important by the board.
However, the cuts could be more than expected because
many state Republican legislators, who were elected to
office Tuesday, campaigned on further slashing the state
budget.
“We are going to have to be reasonable about what we
ask for and it will be our responsibility to build relation-
ships with the new members of the General Assembly,”
said Dudley Flood, a member of the board.
“We’re going to have to form new liaisons, which we
can do,” he said.
Other board members seemed positive about working
with new legislators as well.
“I believe that every member of the General Assembly
recognizes the importance of the UNC system to the
future of this state and I’m really looking forward to
working with them,” Estelle Sanders, another board
member, said.
The board is also expected to discuss a final draft of
the system’s Four Year Tuition Plan, which was created in
2006 by Bowles to make the tuition process more struc-
tured and predictable.
The plan has dictated the maximum amount universi-
ties can increase tuition and how revenue generated from
those increases can be used.
The version of the new plan — “A Second Four-Year
Plan” — will be presented today and includes few changes
to the existing policy.
The plan gives campuses more flexibility in increas-
ing tuition. Although the cap for tuition increases for
in-state undergraduate students will be maintained at
6.5 percent, campuses can request a higher increase if
necessary.
“Our state has really low tuition compared to most
states, and the state constitution requires us to keep it
low,” Dixon said.
The new plan will also allow some universities that
have held tuition rates lower than similar institutions to
play “catch up” beyond the cap.
The board could vote on both proposals as early as
Friday.

Faculty skeptical of proposed tuition-funded raises

Say raises could come at
expense of other needs
by Colleen Volz
staff writer
One year removed from a state-imposed salary
freeze, some faculty members have expressed mixed
reactions to a salary raise proposed last week.
At the Friday tuition and fee advisory task force
meeting, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost
Bruce Carney proposed lifting the freeze on faculty
salaries, which has been in place since 2009. To fund
merit-based pay raises, Carney proposed allocating
$2.5 million of next year’s approximately $15 million
tuition revenue to faculty salaries.
“It would be nice for morale to build up some salary
money,” Carney said. “We want to do everything we
can to hold our very best faculty here.”
But that proposal has been met with skepticism
from some department chairmen and faculty council
members who fear that providing a small pay increase
may not solve retention problems.
Beverly Taylor, chairwoman of the English and
comparative literature department, said there are
multiple sides to the issue of raising salaries.
“Well, I’m sure people would be thrilled to have a
raise,” Taylor said. “I’ve frequently heard my colleagues
talk about not having a raise in three years.”
But Taylor said she is primarily concerned with the
budget cuts within her department, and not her sal-
ary.
“It would be impossible for us to keep offering the
same number of courses and instructions to the same
number of students if we have to make more cuts,”
she said.
“But if you lose your best faculty because they’re
getting more lucrative job offers at other schools, then
that’s a serious setback too.”
Carney said the money would be distributed among
all departments, and raises would be given on a merit
basis within the individual departments.
He added that funds would be specifically targeted
at the College of Arts and Sciences, which receives
most of its funding from the state, partially because
many faculty members in professional schools attain
funding from other jobs or grants, in addition to their
state-funded teaching salaries.
McKay Coble, chairwoman of the faculty, said she
appreciates the administration’s concerns. But she is
concerned that the measure would not provide the
silver bullet to prevent faculty members from leaving
for other institutions.
“What is felt is the genuine concern from the
administration about our welfare,” Coble said. “The
administration wants to reward the excellent work of
an excellent faculty.”
Coble, also chairwoman in the dramatic art depart-
ment, said budget cuts could also lead to future lay-
offs.
“I personally would rather forgo any raise than lose
a colleague or a staff member,” Coble said.
“If giving up that one percent keeps everyone here,
then I would rather not have the raise.”
Carney said this discussion is ultimately rendered
moot until tuition for 2011-12 is determined, which
could be as high as a 6.5 percent increase for in-state
undergraduate students, as defined by state law.
The raise would not be considered until a new bud-
get is proposed by the state legislature in January. It
is not yet known how the first Republican-controlled
legislative branch in North Carolina since 1898 will
respond to the request.
Associate Provost for Financial and Academic
Planning Dwayne Pinkney said Friday that the total
amount of state funding allocated to faculty salaries
would be increased by one percent using tuition rev-
enue.
Carney, who has received help from Pinkney for
the financial aspects of the proposal, said on Friday
that deans of the individual colleges would likely
allow departments to determine which faculty mem-
bers would receive raises. Those raises would vary by
individual and include junior and fixed-term faculty
members, he said.
“The faculty salaries are definitely only a compo-
nent of tuition,” Carney said, adding that need-based
aid and University expenses would compose the vast
majority of the tuition money.

Panel honors civil activist
Pauli Murray’s
life discussed
by Kari Johnson
staff writer
Twenty-five years after her death,
Pauli Murray received a 100th
birthday present Wednesday.
In honor of the deceased activ-
ist’s life, a panel of professors
spoke on the life and causes of
Murray, who was rejected from
UNC because of her race in 1938
and Harvard University in 1944
because of her gender.
The talk, sponsored by the
Center for the Study of the
American South at UNC, the
Carolina Women’s Center and the
Pauli Murray Project at the Duke
Human Rights Center, among
others, included a panel of five
professors and a moderator who
discussed Murray’s legacy before
a crowd of more than 100.
“We didn’t think this could go
by without celebrating it,” said
Barbara Lau, director of the Pauli
Murray Project. “Our job is not to
just celebrate Pauli Murray but to
keep going with her work.”
“We felt it was important to
participate in this way because
she was rejected,” said Sally
Greene, associate director of
the Center for the Study of the
American South.

November marks Heritage Month
by Chloe Pinner
staff writer
Upon her arrival at UNC, sopho-
more Leslie Locklear was met with
a challenge.
Locklear was not only faced
with the usual adjusting-to-col-
lege issues — but also with trying
to convince people of her American
Indian heritage.
“Many people on this campus
have approached me and stated, ‘I
didn’t know Native Americans still
existed.’ I find this absolutely amaz-
ing,” said Locklear.
As cultural chairwoman of the
Carolina Indian Circle, Locklear
has planned both Cherokee lan-
guage and Native American dance
classes to increase awareness that
American Indians continue to live
— and thrive — in the U.S.

on her application and rejection for
the UNC graduate program.
“She always worked on the same
problem,” said Yale history profes-
sor Glenda Gilmore.
She said Murray’s problem was
one of human rights.
“She really believed these chal-
lenges were there so she could
single-handedly bring civil rights

UNC history professor Genna

Month.
The events range from film
screenings and dance lessons to
planetarium shows and crash
courses on the Cherokee lan-
guage.
The commemorative month
kicked off Monday when Gov. Bev
Perdue officially proclaimed the
start of heritage celebrations in
North Carolina.
American Indians have cele-
brated National American Indian
Heritage Month in November
since an Aug. 3, 1990 proclama-
tion by former President George
H.W. Bush.
Clara Kidwell, director of the

“Pauli Murray was always one
to strike right at the heart of the
issues.”
Gilmore said the case of Murray’s
rejection to UNC, as the case clos-
est to her heart and her home of
Durham, set the pattern for the
rest of her life.
Anne Firor Scott, a Duke history
professor emerita on the panel who
knew Murray, said she was a pas-
sionate person but not always the
most agreeable.

Lau said they presented the
program because Murray asked
questions that are still relevant
today.
Annie Clark, a UNC senior
working on the Pauli Murray
Project, agreed, saying Murray’s
questions about equality can apply
to race, gender, religion and sexual-
ity today.
UNC students were not the only
ones to attend the event.
Carrie Mills, a junior at Duke
University, came as a course
requirement, although she said she
enjoyed the event and a new appre-
ciation of Murray’s life.
Gilmore said Murray always
called herself a southerner and a
native of the Chapel Hill-Durham
region.
She added that Murray often
commented that America would
not be a true democracy until it
cracked Jim Crow.
Murray also fought sexism,
as she was denied admittance to
Harvard University based on the
grounds of her gender.
Gilmore said Murray believed
she did not have personal victory,
but that she had lived to see her
lost causes found.
“The fact that we are here today,
I think, proves her right,” Gilmore
said.

Conservationist Bill Powers
urged a crowd of about 40 to do all
that they can to be sustainable in a
speech Wednesday.
Powers, a New York Times con-
tributor and author of the book
“Twelve By Twelve: A One-Room
Cabin Off the Grid & Beyond the
American Dream,” discussed his
40 days of living in a 12 feet by 12
feet house by No Name Creek in
Chatham County.
“His book provides a glimpse of
what it means to live a truly sus-
tainable life,” said junior Taylor
Timmerman, co-chairwoman of
UNC’s Sierra Student Coalition.
In the house, Powers said he
faced many changes, including
using candles instead of electricity,
using sun-heated showers and hav-
ing to provide his own food.
“I found it amazing how quickly
you can adapt and live with these
changes,” Powers said.
Powers also discussed his trav-
els abroad to places such as Liberia
and Bolivia.
In Liberia, he tackled problems
such as a civil war and poverty that
spawned from ecological degrada-
tion caused by the diamond and
timber industries.
In Bolivia, Powers said he wit-
nessed massive deforestation of
rainforests from clear-cutting.
To help combat deforestation in
the area, he worked with a relief
group on a carbon ranching proj-
ect. Carbon ranching is buying
out sections of the rainforest from
international logging companies

Powers’ speech was sponsored by
the Sierra Student Coalition, FLO
Food, Alianza and UNC’s Newman
Catholic Student Center.
“A lot of people, when they think
of environmental changes, think
it’s really daunting, but he stresses
that small changes can make a
difference, and it’s about finding
your niche that makes it possible,”
Timmerman said.
Some members of the audience
were concerned with the costs of
becoming more sustainable, espe-
cially given the nation’s economic
state.
“It would be wonderful if
Americans could consume less,”
said junior Claire McCune, a
member of FLO Food, although
she acknowledged the difficulty of
that.
“In the current economic crisis…
how feasible really is this?”
Powers’ main message urged
everyone to discover their own
“12 by 12,” recognizing that they
may just want to take a moderate
approach to combating climate
change.
“Look for that sense of opti-
mism, and see what you can do,”
he said. “I think that what it really
comes down to is that we can all do
what we can.”

MUSIC
FESTIVAL
Homegrown talent to be showcased
by JOSEPH CHAPMAN
assistant diversions editor
For Melissa Thomas, director of Troika Music Festival and founder
of 307 Knox Records, the Triangle’s music scene bears an odd resem-
blance to the way pop-up bakeries establish themselves in the com-
munity.
“You have a place where five or six bakeries move to one street, and
then it’s like there’s another bakery opening and then another one,”
Thomas said. “Pretty soon, it becomes the best place to go for a bak-
ery.”
With the inception of two sizeable first-year festivals in North
Carolina, the area is quickly becoming one of the best places to head
for fresh music, and this weekend, Troika Music Festival will be a con-
tender.
Last weekend’s Moogfest brought a star-studded bill including Big
Boi, Jónsi and Girl Talk to downtown Asheville. September saw Raleigh’s
Hopscotch put national acts like Panda Bear and Public Enemy on the
same stage as local sweethearts The Love Language. The demographic
fusion was a success by any measure and plans for Hopscotch 2011 are
already well on their way.
“Hopscotch definitely brought the whole North Carolina indie-festi-
val circuit up a notch,” Andrea Connolly of Troika headliners Birds and
Arrows said. “It was the biggest thing I’ve ever seen come through the
Triangle.”
Behind the stacked lineups of Moogfest and Hopscotch, Troika lies
as the Triangle’s homegrown foundation with its focus based solely on
local music.
The event is a three-day music festival that kicks off tonight in
Durham’s Central Park and continues through Saturday. The festival
has been running yearly since 2002 and features over fifty local acts,
including Birds of Avalon, Mandolin Orange and Whatever Brains.
“I’m excited to get back to Troika and its rootsy feel,” Connolly said.
“It’s still going to be a big festival, but Hopscotch felt like I was some-
where else — like I wasn’t in the Triangle.”
It’s easy to infer Hopscotch’s proximity to Troika in time and location
as competition, but Thomas claims that it has been a team effort from
the start.
“It’s not so much competition, it’s more, ‘Wow — we’re providing
another flavor of what people love: good local music.’”
The collaboration between Independent Weekly employees and
Troika organizers has built a two-way relationship that is facilitating
both festivals’ growth.
“Greg (Lowenhagen) called me last November after Troika, and he
was very open about what they were doing with Hopscotch,” Thomas
said. “They were totally stoked coming out of Troika and about what’s

been building in the Triangle for a long time.”
In the same way that Hopscotch has built off of Troika’s local estab-
lishment, Thomas says that the festival plans to implement changes in
response to the energetic atmosphere of Hopscotch.
“At Hopscotch, I was constantly shouldering other people as I walked
down the street, even to the places that had longer distances,” Thomas
said. “That isn’t a vibe I’ve experienced at (Troika) for six years. We want
to run into those situations where there are people hanging out over here
and over there.”
This year Troika has changed its layout back to being a walking fes-
tival. When Thomas first volunteered for Troika six years ago, all of the
venues were within walking distance.
“Over the years, things have changed, venues have come and gone, and
we’ve had to spread it out across Durham,” Thomas said. “And not that it
has been a bad thing — but logistically, we’ve always wanted to bring it
back into a ten or fifteen minute walk from venue to venue.”
“And we’ve got that this year – the furthest walk is fifteen minutes.”
Facilitating easy transportation between venues, parts of Geer and
Rigsbee streets in downtown Durham will be closed to traffic Saturday
night.
Festivalgoers looking for more than just music will be glad to see the
return of CraftShow, a marketplace for handmade goods and art. Taking
place on Saturday in the Trotter Building, the event will feature more
than twenty vendors and music by Organos and Phil Cook & His Feat.
“Maria Albania (of Organos) and I are kind of the entertainment while
people are shopping and checking out the craft vendors,” Phil Cook said.
“These are the types of shows and environments that I like to play in ­—
they’re a challenge for me. It’s a big confidence builder when people stop
and come over to hear you play.”
For Thomas, the three consecutive N.C. festivals will occupy many
falls to come.
“We’re thrilled — this might just become the place to go see music,”
Thomas said. “Moogfest, Hopscotch and Troika? September, October,
November — I’m just going to save myself for those three months every
year.”

Dive’s Troika Picks:
Double Negative
Did you know that 40-something-year-olds can
rock? No, seriously, they can. In fact, we can offer
you some proof in the form of Double Negative.
There really isn’t a more violent, intense or excit-
ing way to start your Troika experience this year,
but if you’re heading over from the Birds and
Arrows or Mosadi Music sets earlier, don’t expect
anything in the same vein. Double Negative is
relentless in the best way, and if you need an
introduction to how mind-blowing the local punk
rock scene can be, consider this your invitation.
Ear plugs and bad attitudes are totally advised.
Wesley Wolfe
One part Neil Young, one part Ben Gibbard,
Wesley Wolfe’s lyrics are like a persistent tap on
the shoulder. This isn’t the kind of self-indulgent
contemplation that’s often associated with musi-
cians of similar ilk — instead, Wolfe’s words plant
themselves in your mind and refuse to leave. It’s
a rare talent that we’re excited to see in a live
setting, and if the artist’s recorded material is any
indication, he’ll have the crowd in a silent trance.
He’ll get Motorco off to an intensely personal and
affective start on Friday night, so head over before
you dive into the rest of the rock ‘n’ roll mayhem.
Minor Stars
Take a break from frenzied, energetic pop and
check out Chapel Hill’s Minor Stars. The band is
one of the few psych-rock representatives at the
festival, but don’t mistake it for some kind of
filler — Minor Stars’ 2010 release, “The Death
of the Sun in the Silver Sea,” combined winding,
contemplative compositions with unexpected tex-
tures and sounds that gave the effect of a roiling,
unsettled sea. The group’s Friday night set at the
Trotter building will be markedly different from
many other Troika shows, but that’s all the more
reason to give it a listen.
Chatham County Line
Surely Dive won’t be the only publication recom-
mending this show, but there’s a reason behind all
the hype. As this year’s headliner, Chatham County
Line will be following in the footsteps of The Love
Language, The Rosebuds and Bowerbirds (among
many others), but we’re very confident that the
folk-based outfit can hold its own. Dave Wilson’s
vocals are of the clear and unsullied variety that
sound like they’ve been preserved in a mountain
time capsule, clear as a stream and arresting as
a crisp fall breeze. The group regularly sells out
Cat’s Cradle shows, so be sure to catch them this
Saturday night at Motorco Music Hall.
Cassis Orange
Autumn Ehinger’s keyboard-based project is the
sonic representation of east meets west. In a liter-
al sense, Ehinger’s name comes from an alcoholic
drink that’s popular in Japan, but in a less obvious
way, the Durham songstress’ music captures a
sense of quiet grace that’s rare in contemporary
pop. Her songs are seamless, with sweet, catchy
hooks and unexpected melodic patterns. Cassis
Orange isn’t your pedestrian electro-pop band,
and the simple (but effective) mix of keyboards
and earnest vocals should be a winning combina-
tion at Troika.

dylan gilbert
Pangaea
pop/Rock
At only 22 years old, Dylan
Gilbert has done more musically
than most of his peers, both in age
group and genre.
The Charlotte native is already
on his fifth album, Pangaea, an
indie rock romp that’s cozy and safe
without sounding bland.
Pangaea isn’t an album you
should judge by its cover. The
album art is a drawing of a young
girl, standing in grass with arms
outstretched in front of a giraffe. It
looks like something more fitting
for a sensitive singer-songwriter
armed with an acoustic guitar and
no sense of humor.
While this isn’t entirely untrue of
Gilbert, he stretches out to include
influences ranging from classic
rock to jazz, and he certainly has a
sense of effervescence.
Pangaea is primarily a collection
of love songs, but that doesn’t ren-
der it simplistic.
Gilbert manages a dynamic
album, striking a balance of easy-
going instrumentation with warm,
sweet lyrics that are honest without
being cheesy.
A couple of the tunes begin
with rough, grinding guitars, but
Gilbert quickly segues into some-
thing smoother after these few
brief moments.
“A Trip to the Zoo” has a bouncy,
catchy melody, but lyrically, it falls
completely flat. The words are sim-
ple and childlike.
Maybe that’s what Gilbert is
going for — because who doesn’t
have fond memories of childhood
trips to the zoo? — but it just
doesn’t feel right in the context of
the rest of the record.
Gilbert brings in horns, key-
boards, animal noises and laughter
on title track “Pangaea.”
The elements that look discor-
dant on paper fit together like
puzzle pieces, much as today’s
continents once fit together as
Pangaea.
This one song sums up what
most of the album is about: a fun,
mostly upbeat record that blends
lots of different pieces to make a
whole that’s interesting and cohe-
sive.

In any capacity, good first
impressions can make all the dif-
ference.
B u t f o r C a l i f o r n i a ’s T h e
Memorials, the band’s entrance
screams everything but put togeth-
er. On its self-titled album, it isn’t
maturity that the band exudes, but
rather a penchant for excess.
Reminiscent of the ’90s angsty,
garage-rock scene, The Memorials’
debut is full of energy and passion
that fulfills all the elements of punk
rock, yet it is composed of formu-
laic, cluttered songs that come and
go with compromised coherence.
The first song’s length signals
the album’s most hefty load — at
almost seven minutes, the sound-
circus of fast-paced punk drags
right into the next song. Punk
songs often work better as short
ditties, and for a band whose songs
frequently surpass the five-minute
mark, conciseness is the missing
ingredient.
As the centerpiece of the album’s
songs, lead singer Viveca Hawkins’
strong and emotionally charged
vocals stand out but don’t break
any new ground in a genre that
already makes distinction hard.
The band, formed under ex-Mars
Volta drummer Thomas Pridgen,
and the songs consistently rely on
his power-packed beats, but ulti-
mately turn into dizzy distortion
once Hawkins’ vocals fade away.
“Dream” is catchy and quite bal-
anced, especially sans the several
minutes of painful guitar distortion
found on other tracks.
It may be a little historically cli-
ché, as the band samples Martin
Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream”
speech in the background, but the
song is one of the more accessible
tracks on the album.
Additional songs like “Real”
infuse jazzy undertones as Hawkins
and company slow down their gen-
erally thrashy tendencies. The song
may be temporarily refreshing but
is soon rejoined by the copious
amounts of guitar that seems to
fill much of the album.
Overall, perhaps The Memorials
simply need a gestation period or a
little more time to study the value
of composition. It’s clear that the
basic skills are there, but when it
comes to the utilization of these
skills, that’s when the sonic atmo-
sphere clouds over.

Kenneth Waters (Sam Rockwell)
is wrongfully imprisoned for the
murder of a woman in his small
town of Ayer, Mass. Waters is
behind bars for 18 years while his
sister Betty Anne Waters (Hilary
Swank) struggles to earn her GED,
BA and her law degree and ulti-
mately pass the bar exam so that
she can help him.
The “based on a true story” film
goes a bit like this: several state-
ments of tragedy strung together
without any complete continuity.
But it is based on the real strug-
gle of the Waters siblings fighting
for justice and ultimately claiming
it via DNA testing and Betty Anne’s
fortitude.
The cliché and predictable

insubstantial — emotional drive
of the film. In a string of demon-
strative events, Betty Anne and her
husband fight about how freeing
her brother has taken over her life,
then Betty Anne forgets the fishing
trip she had planned with her two
children.
Sure, it’s sad and disheartening,
but it doesn’t do the real struggle
justice. Despite the director’s best
efforts, the audience still feels on
the fringe of the action.
Fortunately, the acting recovers
some of the lost ground. Swank’s
portrayal of Betty Anne is sweet
and jarring at the same time.
Her movements between deli-
cate mother to enraged sister and
the lawyer of an inmate struggling
to hold on are one of the few com-
ponents of the movie without any
glaring seams.
Rockwell also transitions from
a lovable goof who can’t take life
very seriously — even on the day
of his trial — to an inmate mad-
dened by captivity and waiting in
a degenerative manner that chills
the audience.
Ultimately, the acting can’t com-
pensate for the shortcomings of
scene selection, leaving us search-
ing for more and not getting quite
enough.
Sometimes truth is stranger
than fiction, but when it’s all tied
up in a predictable plot, it’s hard
to feel invested.

Album from the Vaults:
Gang of Four, Entertainment!:
For a generation that’s largely
unschooled on post-punk, Gang
of Four’s Entertainment! is an ideal
primer. This 1977 record (the band’s
debut) combines the twitchy,
thumping style of early punk rock
with hooks and accessibility. Songs
like “Natural’s Not In It” are made
for stomping your way to class.
Movie from the Vaults:
“The Virgin Suicides”: Sofia Coppola
has an eerie knack for capturing the
hazy, gauzy essence of a decade
long ago, and this 1999 film is no
exception. The director pulls teen-
age angst, depression, first love, rock
‘n’ roll and family into one groovy
1970’s package, and there are few
films that can tackle death with Air
as the background music.

“Ever since the Clemson game
we’ve been using her in all three
lines,” coach Anson Dorrance said.
“We’ve been setting her up front,
playing her in the back a bit … and
then we try to ride out games with
her in the midfield. That’s incred-
ible versatility.”
Dunn notched her fifth goal of
the season and the second of the
game in the 26th minute, when
she received a ball from junior
Courtney Jones and sent it flying
to the right side of the net.
With an assist on Kealia Ohai’s
first score of the game, Dunn had a
hand in two Tar Heel scores for the
second game in a row. But during
halftime, the New York native had
a request.
“Crystal comes up to me just

‘I’m a little banged up, I really can’t
sprint right now. Do you mind if I

said. “So we left her in the back.”

enced forwards to choose from.
But instead, he went out on a
limb.
To fill the hole on attack,
Dorrance threw freshman defender
Meg Morris into the void.
“Meg is the fastest player on our
roster,” Dorrance said. “She’s in thin
air. There are very few people who
can catch her, so once she was in, I
knew she had a chance.”
Less than five minutes later, the
rookie was victory dancing her way
down the field after her first career
score.
“Basically Kealia played (for-
ward) Alyssa (Rich) into the ball,
and I saw her receive the ball, and
I just decided to make an overlap-
ping line,” Morris said. “Alyssa just
kind of flicked it past and I ran out
to it.”
Morris and Dunn helped stave
off the Hokies throughout the game
and held the Hokies scoreless for
almost 74 minutes. Both defend-
ers were named to the ACC All-
Freshman team, alongside Ohai.
Dunn has started all 20 games
for the Tar Heels so far and is
currently second on the team in
minutes played with 1,748. As the
conference’s defensive player of
the year and the fifth-leading goal
scorer for the Tar Heels, her versa-
tility on the squad is undeniable.
UNC will return to Cary on
Friday when it plays Wake Forest
in the semifinals of the tourna-
ment, and Dunn will likely be a
driving force behind the Tar Heels’
campaign to defend their title — no
matter where she is on the field.
“I wish I could say I do feel more
comfortable in a certain position,”
Dunn said. “But I kind of just like
the feeling of being able to be put
somewhere.”

Basketball tickets to be sold on StubHub

by Emily Palmer
staff writer
This season, UNC basketball
fans will have a new way to buy and
sell tickets.
StubHub, the world’s largest
ticket marketplace, announced its
partnership with UNC on Monday.
Basketball fans interested in
buying and selling tickets can
access UNC’s ticket office’s web-
site, which will connect them to
Clint Gwaltney, director of ticket
operations, said the partnership will
provide a better personal service to
fans who want to buy or sell tickets.
“This is not about money,” he
said. “This is more or less about
customer service. If there’s someone
who wants to buy tickets to a sold-
out game, then our website would
direct them to StubHub to do so.”
Gwaltney said the StubHub
partnership will provide a slight
The buyer avoids shipping and
handling fees because the purchas-
er receives the ticket online.
Lehrman said the company
eases the process of buying and
selling tickets. Ticket holders have
the option of selling individual or
season tickets.
After the tickets are bought, the
original barcodes are canceled, and
new tickets with different barcodes
are sent to the purchaser within
But he said the StubHub part-
nership might increase public turn-
out. He likened the partnership
to the student “Turn ‘Em Back to
Turn it Blue program,” which tries
to minimize ticket waste by advo-
cating for students to return tickets
if they can not attend games.
“As far as the general population,
this will allow them to turn their
tickets in and give them to some-
one else to increase the population
UNC is among the first ath-
letic departments in the ACC to
partner with StubHub, along with
Florida State University. Lehrman
said the company is proud of its
increasing partnership with ACC
teams.
“We consider the ACC the creme
de la creme of college basketball,
and we want to make sure that we
are a part of that,” he said. “We
consider UNC one of the premier
basketball teams in the country
and for us it was a great place to
start.”

Gwaltney said he was unsure if
the StubHub partnership would
increase turnout for games.
“It does provide people a much
easier avenue to get tickets into the
hands of people when they might
not have done so in the past, but
I can’t predict whether people will
use those tickets,” he said.

by Grace Tatter
staff writer
North Carolina’s Latina teenag-

rate in the country, a statistic some
organizations are trying to change.

This figure compares to the 56
out of every 1,000 rate that stands
for the overall state population.
The campaign will host a sym-
posium on preventing Latina teen
pregnancy for educators and health
providers Monday at the Friday
Center.
“Our big lesson learned is when
you have youth involved in that
kind of advocacy, you get a lot far-

said Elizabeth Finley, spokeswom-

Finley said reasons for the high
Latina pregnancy rate include lan-

school opportunities.

adopt risky behaviors.
To combat the high pregnancy
rate, El Pueblo, a Raleigh-based
Latino advocacy organization,
started a youth group focused on
sexual and reproductive education
last year.
Carol Flores Hodgman, coordi-
nator for the “Our Rights Have No
Borders” group, said the organiza-
tion’s biggest goal is to see youth
become involved in a reproductive
health movement.
Hodgman said many Latinas
think they have less access to
health services because of legal sta-
tus issues, but that thought pattern
isn’t accurate.
“It’s usually somebody that
doesn’t have papers thinks they
don’t have any rights, and that’s
not right,” she said.
“We want youth to know that
they shouldn’t be afraid.”

The forum, “ Youth Links:
Advocating for Our Sexual and

enable Latino youth to become
leaders in the sexual and repro-

strengthen the connection between
this movement and the immigra-
tion agenda.
The forum was co-hosted by
Ipas, a women’s reproductive rights
organization based in Chapel Hill.
Mary Martin Vance, youth pro-

Vance said the advocacy com-

“Most of our schools are close to

chairwoman of the Orange County
The district, which covers north-
ern Orange County, would have
received as much as $489,000 per
year had the increase passed.
While the board hadn’t deter-
mined what specific projects the
revenue would have funded, the
district keeps a running list of
improvements to be completed
over the next 10 years that totals
nearly $58 million.
“Those projects still need to
be done,” board member Eddie
Eubanks said. “We may have to do
less of those.”
Eubanks said the board does
have some funding in place for the
most pressing projects, and though
some could occur as early as this
year, others are more long-term.
“Any additional revenue that
would have been directed at the
school system would have certainly
been beneficial,” he said.
Stephanie Knott, spokes-
woman for Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools, said the amount of
money allotted to the district for
capital improvement projects has
declined over the years as a result
of the poor economic climate.

Established 1893,
117 years
of editorial freedom

Lawsuit’s
about
more than
football
S
ince news broke that the
Daily Tar Heel and seven
other media organizations
have filed suit for the release of
several records related to the
investigations of our football team,
readers have responded en masse.
Many of you have decided the
DTH editors need to rein in their
ego, quit resume-building and
repent for their betrayal of UNC.
“Let the administration handle
affairs that they should,” one
reader wrote to the editor last
month. “Go away.”
Let’s get a few things straight.
n The DTH is not beholden
to the University or the School
of Journalism and Mass
Communication in any way,
financially or otherwise. The
paper has been financially inde-
pendent from UNC since 1993.
Its offices are housed off campus
(when they were in the Student
Union, the DTH paid rent like
any other tenant).
n The students on the editorial
board who wrote that head coach
Butch Davis should be let go are
not the students reporting on the
investigations into the football
team. One group does not direct
the other. Ever.
n The DTH is not alone. The
paper is joined by The (Raleigh)
News & Observer as a co-lead
plaintiff and six other media orga-
nizations, including the Associated
Press.
n The DTH is a “big boy” news-
paper. It is the most-circulated
paper in Orange County, fre-
quently wins awards for its cover-
age of higher education over big-
ger, professional papers, and plays
by all the same rules as the state
and national dailies. This does
not mean the paper always gets
it right, but it does mean that the
paper operates in the same sphere
as the professional papers also
involved in this suit. We must give
it at least that much respect.
The emotions here are under-
standably complex. Many of us
are students. Most of us love our
University. And most of us des-
perately want our football team
to kick ass.
DTH reporters are privy to
those emotions, too. They aren’t
trying to kick the football team
while it’s down, or sue for “a
cookie before dinner,” as one
online reader commented. And
it’s certainly possible that very
little newsworthy information
might come out of this lawsuit.
But what’s at stake here is more
important than the documents
the DTH and others are suing for.
What’s at stake is the free flow
of information from an institution
that, technically, belongs to you.
What’s at stake is the legal
right to demand that a body
funded by taxpayer dollars
release information that also,
technically, belongs to you.
What’s at stake here is revers-
ing the long trend of administra-
tors extending the bounds of the
Family Educational Rights and
Privacy act (FERPA) to informa-
tion they have no right to protect.
Transparency is the medium
of accountability. And the less we,
the public, push to find out what
we already should have been told,
the more freedom of information
starts to look like a “special favor”
rather than the norm.
And as the paper that covers
UNC the most and best, the DTH
has every right — and I would say
obligation — to fight for informa-
tion that is legally ours. You never
want to rely on favors, especially
when you’re asking questions some
would rather pretend they didn’t
hear.

Academics alive in athletics
Despite a marred reputation, recent reports suggest
athletes understand their academic commitment
W
hile problems with
UNC athletics per-
sist, recent statistics
regarding athletes’ graduation
rates have proven to be a bright
spot.
The report outlined at the
Faculty Athletics Committee
meeting on Tuesday under-
scores that the idea of “scholar-
athlete” is not entirely compro-
mised at UNC.
Graduation rates among
athletes stand at 87 percent
— the second highest in the
University’s peer group, in
spite of being sixth in the ACC
in another recent report.
The University continues
to deal with the fallout from
academic and agent-related
improprieties committed by
athletes on the football team.
This, plus the recent dismissal
of Will Graves from the basket-
ball team, have hardly helped
Don’t run from Jones’ legacy
Important message in athlete’s repaid debt to society
M
arion Jones, class of
1997, returned to her
alma mater last week,
determined to ensure sure that
young athletes do not make the
same mistakes she did.
Even though Jones cheated
and lied, she repaid her debt
to society and will always be
a member of our University
community.
Jones helped bring UNC its
first and only NCAA women’s
basketball championship in
1994. After graduation, she won
five medals at the 2000 Olympic
games, 3 of them gold.
But Jones has since returned
every single one of her medals.
Her enormous heart and dis-
arming smile weren’t enough
to stop a judge from convict-

how fellow Tar Heels feel
toward their athletic peers.
It is easy to forget among all
of the recent sour news that
UNC has historically been a
leader in graduating athletes.
The school’s emphasis on aca-
demic success relative to peers
has been exceptional, in spite
of the fact that the football pro-
gram appears to have forsaken
that goal in recent years.
Emphasizing the success
that UNC has in graduating
athletes is therefore critical.
If high graduation rates are
indicative of academic commit-
ment, then they demonstrate
that this fall’s very public and
very damning details about
UNC athletics constitute the
exception rather than the rule.
High-revenue sports seem to
have a tendency toward contro-
versy. Money has a tendency to
alter standards.
cials about using performance-
enhancing drugs.
Jones violated the values and
ideals that lie at the very heart
of what this University stands
for. Not only did she receive
unauthorized aid in a race in
which she was representing the
United States, but she also lied
about her involvement with
steroids.
It was as if she signed a blue
book, aced an exam with an
unfair advantage, then lied
about it to the honor court.
So when Jones returned to
Chapel Hill last week as part
of her book tour, she discussed
the importance of making good
decisions and surrounding one’s
self with the right people.
And now that she has repaid
her debt to society, the UNC

Having said that, we believe
that the vast majority of ath-
letes at UNC — across all of
the sports that are offered —
understand the significance of
both their academic and ath-
letic commitment. Reports of
high graduation rates among
athletes would seem to support
that belief.
But there are caveats. The
hope is that graduating is a
good metric for actually learn-
ing and caring about one’s
education, and not an incen-
tive to take shortcuts.
As the current storm sur-
rounding the football program
blows over, the athletic depart-
ment will be hard-pressed to
prove its commitment to stu-
dents’ intellectual development.
A renewed push to give
meaning to these statistics, and
even improve them, is exactly
what’s needed.
community should learn from
her mistakes and welcome her
back.
Too seldom in our culture do
we see true admissions of guilt
and no-nonsense apologies like
the ones Jones has delivered
over the past few years.
And even though the honor
code is paramount in defining
what lies at the heart of the
University’s creed, so too is the
notion that the Carolina family
goes beyond media notoriety
and even the iron bars of fed-
eral prison.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Wilmington cocaine bust
not relevant, newsworthy
TO THE EDITOR:
The only word I can use
to describe the story on Dan
Paustian (“UNC student arrest-
ed in Wilmington on charges of
cocaine, marijuana possession,”
Nov. 1) is inappropriate. Yes, he
is a UNC student and yes, the
student body is entitled to know
what is going on in the lives of
our peers.
But whereas last year’s cocaine
incident involved multiple UNC
students that were arrested in
our actual vicinity, this occur-
rence involved solely one student
positioned a good two and half
hours away from our campus
at the time of his arrest. Is this
really worthy of the front page?
I’m also highly disappointed
in the DTH for not only includ-
ing the mug shot of a non-UNC
student, but also for contacting
Paustian’s parents, both of which
were highly unnecessary.
If it weren’t for Dan’s Greek
affiliation, would this have even
made it into the crime blotter?
I find the entirety of these
articles distasteful, making the
DTH out to be no better than a
silly tabloid. Dan Paustian is cer-
tainly going through enough in
his life right now that he doesn’t
need further embarrassment by
being recognized across campus,
and his family certainly deserves
their privacy at a time like this.
I feel like I speak for many
when I suggest that you save the
front page for something actu-
ally relevant to this campus.

Euphemism won’t solve
illegal immigration issue
TO THE EDITOR:
Although hate crimes target-
ing immigrants are both tragic
and indefensible, a change in
nomenclature does not address
the root of the problem. Citizens
of the United States are angry at
“illegal” immigrants not because
of their title, but because they
feel they are being taken advan-
tage of.
With a national debt equiva-
lent to $44,300 per person and
rising, Americans are becom-
ing increasingly intolerant of
individuals who benefit from
government services such as
tuition, welfare and medical
care without contributing by
way of taxes.
Down playing the fact that
“undocumented” immigrants
are in fact violating the laws of
our country will only further
incite those who feel Congress is
neglecting to tackle such a press-
ing issue.
In places like Arizona where
almost eight percent of the pop-
ulation is made up of “undocu-
mented” immigrants, Americans
have the right to be angry. If
current policies are not altered
their children and grandchil-
dren will be shouldered with
an enormous debt and live in
a country whose government’s
ability to maintain infrastruc-
ture, fund defense and subsidize
social programs such as public
education has been eroded by
fiscal irresponsibility and poor
legislative policy.
Murderous hate crimes per-
petrated by ignorant and violent
individuals are not a way to solve

Chapel Hill Transit drivers
deserve to get a break
TO THE EDITOR:
As a resident of Chapel Hill,
I am writing to offer my sup-
port for the Chapel Hill Transit
bus drivers in their quest for
adequate breaks during their
routes.
One of my favorite parts of
riding on Chapel Hill Transit
buses is having pleasant inter-
actions with the many driv-
ers. Over the years of riding
the bus, I have made endur-
ing relationships with some
of them. Occasionally, when I
am walking or biking around
town, a bus will pass me by
with a friendly honk, and I
will recognize one of my driver
friends greeting me. The driv-
ers are one of the transit sys-
tem’s greatest assets and should
be treated accordingly.
I believe the issue of adequate
breaks for the drivers is also one
of safety, which should be of par-
amount importance, considering
the thousands of passengers who
ride the bus each day. If a driver
is not well-rested, nor properly
nourished, due to a lack of breaks
during the route, it could take a
toll on her alertness and her abil-
ity to maneuver her many pas-
sengers safely.
In keeping with a reputation
of fairness to public employees,
Chapel Hill Transit should grant
its drivers the ability to drive
routes with adequate breaks
built into the schedule to meet
their essential personal needs.
I consider Chapel Hill Transit
to be a top-notch system, and it
deserves policies that are fair to
its drivers, which, in turn, will
benefit the riders and all resi-
dents alike.

and help find a cancer cure
TO THE EDITOR:
This year, 9,602 more people
will be diagnosed with cancer
than last year.
This year, cancer will beat
heart disease as the leading cause
of death in the nation.
But this year, 77 more lives are
saved per day than last year due
to cancer research in the United
States. Join UNC Relay For Life
and register today in our “500
Registrations in 5 Days” cam-
paign.
Our generation knows more
about the human body and can-
cer care than ever before and
we’re making huge strides in
cancer research. Don’t wait until
the spring to register for this
incredible event because every
dollar we raise goes immediately
to the American Cancer Society
and gets us one step closer to a
cure.
Go to www.uncrelay.org and
start fighting back today.
