Lecturer resigns after sexually explicit texts

By C. Ryan barber
University editor
Monty Cook, the journalism school’s inaugural executive pro-
ducer of the Reese Felts Digital News Project, resigned Tuesday
amid allegations of “inappropriate behavior” with a reesenews.org
student editor.
Cook, 46, was placed on a two-week leave after he reported
sending sexually explicit text messages to the student, wrote
Jean Folkerts, dean of the School of Journalism and Mass
1986 alumnus Communication, in a letter to Cook on Monday.
Monty Cook “I also told him on Monday that I intended to recommend that
resigned his his position be terminated,” Folkerts said in an interview.
UNC position “The student was put in a position she should not have been
Tuesday. placed in,” she added.
Cook resigned Tuesday before Folkerts’ recommendation was
sent to Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carney.
“Due to developments in my personal life, I will be unable to
serve the School of Journalism and Mass Communication any lon-
ger,” he wrote in his resignation letter. Repeated efforts to reach
Cook at his home Wednesday were unsuccessful.
Folkerts said she learned of the relationship Friday and speculated
that it lasted “a couple weeks.” A Friday Department of Public Safety
incident report shows a “suspicious condition” at Carroll Hall that day
involving Cook, a male Duke University student and the female UNC
student. A Duke professor is listed as having reported the incident.
The Duke student and professor both declined to comment
Wednesday. The woman did not respond to an interview request.
Folkerts met with the woman Sunday afternoon and was shown
explicit electronic messages indicating Cook initiated the relation-
ship, according to her Monday letter. The University prohibits
“amorous relationships” between students and faculty or staff who
evaluate or supervise them.
A former senior vice president and editor of The Baltimore Sun,
Cook joined the school’s faculty April 1 with a five-year contract
and annual salary of $135,000. The 1986 UNC graduate’s resig-
nation came just more than two weeks after the launch of digital
newsroom’s website, reesenews.org. The project is funded through
a $4.1 million gift, the largest in the school’s 101-year history, from
the estate of alumnus Reese Felts.
Cook will not receive a severance package, Folkerts said.

The mind of a coach BY MARK THOMPSON

assistant sports editor

dth/bailey seitter
UNC wrestling coach C.D. Mock was the school’s first national champion wrestler. Now, he is the coach. But Mock has learned that what worked for him won’t work for everyone, and he’s on a mission to revive the program.

A
young man stands alone in a large, dim arena. Sweat rains down his face; his
dark hair sits matted against his forehead. It’s 1979, and he has just lost the
most important match of his wrestling career. This wasn’t part of his plan,
not the initial schematics. The shouts of the surrounding crowd pierce the air, but
the young man remains stoic.
In the distance, an official walks to a large paper bracket on the wall and places
his finger on two names: “Azevedo, Cal State-Bakersfield,” and beneath it, “Mock,
North Carolina.” His finger traces the carving-fork design of the bracket to the next
line, where he writes “Azevedo.”
If C.D. Mock were watching, he would see his name plummet to the consolation
bracket. But he never watches. Back with his coach, Mock knows exactly where he
is. He knows he will not be the 1979 national champion. But Mock is already work-
ing on his second schematic. He is a scripter of reality who beats opponents before
they put one toe on the mat. Mock has two matches remaining to claim third place,
and he’ll be damned if he won’t win them all.
“That was the hardest, most difficult experience I’ve ever had in wrestling,” Mock
said, 30 years later. “When you come back and wrestle for third, it is just absolutely
brutal. You wrestle like nine times over a couple of days against unbelievable com-
petition.”
First a wrestler and now a coach at UNC, Mock’s greatest asset is his mind. Getting
in Mock’s head would be like reaching into the ground to rip out a tree root one

Orange schools could redistrict Thorp asks for highest tuition

Overcrowding
cited as reason
by Victoria Stilwell
city editor
Elementary students could be
attending different schools as soon
as next year if plans to redistrict
Orange County Schools material-
ize after the board of education’s
Monday meeting.
Michael Gilbert, the district’s
spokesman, said the rezoning is
necessary because of current and
potential overcrowding in schools,
particularly at Cameron Park and
New Hope elementary schools.
“We don’t know if the board is
going to go forward with it or not,”
he said. “It’s just the first step in the
discussion.”
The discussion includes a pre-
sentation by Jeff Tsai, a program
director at Operations Research
and Education Laboratory at N.C.
State University.
Tsai said he was approached in
the summer by the school board to
gather data on the district’s chang-
ing population:
“The charge by the board is to
look at the long-term growth in the
Orange County Schools area, and,
using that information in combi-
nation with their current school
building congestion, see what
would be the most logical result.”
Tsai said his team conducted
land use surveys to pinpoint sub-
divisions experiencing residential
growth.
High-growth neighborhoods
like Churton Grove have played a
roll in the surge of enrollment at
Cameron Park.
The school, which is one of the
highest performing in the district,
has a capacity of 565. This year
Cameron Park saw a first-month
enrollment of 617 students.
“They are quite challenged with
the amount of students they have
in the building,” Tsai said.
He said New Hope could also be
over capacity as soon as next year,
but parent Heather Acker said she
can already see the effects of over-
crowding.
“One of the things that I have
noticed is that they’ve had to add
additions —trailer units — onto the
school this past year,” she said.
Acker has a fourth-grader at
New Hope and said she would be
disappointed for more than one
reason if her child was reassigned.
“They’re very good to my child,”
she said. “As far as geographical
location, this is the most conve-
nient, so I wouldn’t be that pleased
about that.”
Tsai said the elementary school
with the lowest utilization is Central,
which is at about 55 percent of its
capacity of 455 students.
Central is one of the worst per-
forming elementary schools in the
district, according to Education
First’s 2009-2010 N.C. School
Report Cards. The school trails
both district and state student per-
formance on end-of-grade testing
in math and reading.
School board member Debbie
Piscitelli said the school district
rezoned four years ago, when she
served on a committee to oversee
the process as a parent whose chil-
dren were affected by the plans.
She said a similar committee
comprised of parents, principals,
teachers and community mem-
bers that do not have children in
the district is providing feedback
on the current discussions.

Trustees to consider 6.5 percent hike
by Eliza Kern
senior writer
Chancellor Holden Thorp recom-
mended that the maximum allowed
tuition increase come before the
Board of Trustees today.
In making his selection, Thorp
cited the difficult economic and
political climate as reasons for his
decision to pass over at least two
other proposals that would have less-
ened the burden on some students.
“In recommending the highest
one, it’s not what I did the first two
years,” said Thorp, who is in his
third academic year as chancellor.
“It’s just the severity of the financial
situation that we have before us.”
Thorp recommended a 6.5 per-
cent increase for all undergraduate
students to the board’s audit and
finance committee Wednesday,
which voted unanimously to send
the proposal to the full board. The
board typically approves measures
passed in committee.
No student advocates were pres-
ent at Wednesday’s meeting, but
Student Body President Hogan
Medlin worked with the tuition
and fees advisory task force at their
meetings this fall to present Thorp
with an alternative, lower option.
“I applaud Hogan and his col-
leagues for trying to keep those
costs down, but as Holden said, it’s
going to be an extraordinarily tough
year,” said Bruce Carney, executive
vice chancellor and provost.
The state is expecting a budget
shortfall of about $3.5 billion, and
the University is anticipating a cut
of 10 percent, or $54 million.
Of the approximately $15 million
derived from tuition increases, 45
percent will be devoted to financial
aid. The other $8.5 million will rep-
resent only about one-sixth of the
expected $54 million shortfall.
The increases must receive
approval from the UNC-system
Board of Governors and the N.C.
General Assembly, but they could
later change.
Last summer, the legislature
allowed schools to impose an
additional $750 increase on top
of already-approved rates to help
offset cuts from the state.
Administrators said they could
6.5 percent increase
Members of the Board of
Trustees will consider and vote
on a 6.5 percent tuition increase
today. Below are the proposed
2011-12 rates:
Resident undergrad
$5,128
Non-resident undergrad
$24,953
Resident graduate
$6,777
Non-resident graduate
$22,464
Estimated additional campus-
based tuition increase revenue:
$15,012,495
easily envision a similar situation
this year, and Medlin said he was
pushing for lower initial increases
with this possibility in mind. He said
he hopes to bring discussion of this
possibility to the full board today.

foot in diameter. He believes that
only one mentality wins in wrestling.
Everything else eventually loses.
Throughout his years around
the mat, Mock has learned what
he believes are lessons essential
to winning. When Mock became
a coach, he compiled those lessons
onto four pages and gave each
incoming wrestler a copy. They
start with one understanding.
I am my own greatest opponent.
Mock waits for the first of two
consolation matches so tired his
bones ache. But Mock doesn’t quit.
He’s a fighter. Not one person in
the arena could last with Mock for
seven minutes. Not even Azevedo
would be that lucky again.
“It didn’t occur to me that you
could beat me,” Mock says. “And if
you did beat me, I was going to find
a way to beat you. That was just my
mentality.”
Prior to Mock’s first match, his
condition worsens. His body tries to
recover from the pounding it took.
But before Mock wrestles again
he rushes to a bathroom. He’s in a
dire situation but Mock was left no
choice. In a restroom stall, Mock
rips some toilet paper off the roll.
“I had to go out for the last two
matches, and I had to stuff toilet
paper up …,” Mock pauses, “… my
butt. When you get into nationals
at the end of the year and you’re
going for third and you’re wrestling
nine matches in a couple of days,
you’re going to be banged up and
you’re not going to be able to con-
trol certain aspects of your body. It
just happens.”
Mock slips past his first opponent,
leaving only one left. Inside his shoes,
his toes are like rubber. This is when
all his training pays off.
To love to win is easy; to love the
battle, the preparation and the sac-
rifice is where “toughness” is born.
The balls of Mock’s feet rotate
on mat’s forgiving surface for his
final match. The two men jostle for
position. Time passes, as it does in
almost every college match, without
a point. But Mock changes that when
he records a takedown and then he
capitalizes further. Reaching around,
he makes a pretzel of his opponent in
a move called a cradle. Once Mock
locks his hands, he knows it’s over.
Mock never breaks grip.
Looking through the crowd,
Mock sees his friend holding a
camera. And the next shot would
be a signature C.D. Mock cradle.
“I had him in this cradle and I’m
on the side and I’m looking like
if to pose all over again. “I see him
and he’s pointing the camera at me
and I smiled and winked and he got
a picture of it.”
It’s his photo finish, except unlike
typical ones, this race isn’t even close.
To win, Mock doesn’t even try for a
pin, he just holds that pose, like a
statue — or a dead man in full rigor.
Mastering oneself is infinitely
more valuable than trophies and
medals.
Later that evening, Mock lies on
his hotel bed with a battered body
while the rest of his team celebrates
in the adjacent room. Hours before,
Mock could seal a broken dam with
his grip, but now he can only lift his
head off his pillow.
All Mock heard while climb-
ing the ranks was that he started
wrestling too late. For now, Mock is
content with third place, but lying
in bed, he gets hungry, and nothing
short of a championship will satisfy
him. So Mock visualizes. His psyche
is the strongest part of his body; at
this point, it’s the only thing that still
works.
“I made a “I had to go out

said. “I would

to train every
single day, until C.D. Mock
I won.”
Mock was always driven. He
spent his last two years at UNC fix-
ated on that single goal. Coach Bill
Lam loved that mental toughness.
But despite Mock’s success, he wasn’t
always an elite wrestler. He started
out as something entirely different.
Late beginnings
During junior high school in
Newton, Pa., Mock spent his time
on a different mat. He was a gym-
nast, and because of that, he was
built like a wrestler. When some of
Mock’s high school friends encour-
aged him to try out for the wrestling
team, he uncovered a passion.
Not long into his first year, it
was obvious that Mock was gifted
with an innate “mat-sense” and a
killer’s mentality. Not many begin-
ners grew as a wrestler like he did;
then again, few started as late.
While other kids spent their youth
playing catch, Mock played catch-up.
In the mornings Mock forfeited the
bus ride and ran the four-and-a-half
miles to school instead. Within a few
years he was making headway. As a
junior, Mock advanced all the way to
the state playoffs before losing.
That summer, Mock worked as a
counselor at a wrestling camp where
he impressed Shorty Hitchcock, a
Pennsylvania wrestling relic.
Hitchcock was also an assistant
coach at North Carolina and upon
returning, he urged Lam to recruit
Mock while no other big schools
knew about his talents.
It’s all about the training, not
the outcome.
Lam flew from North Carolina
to watch Mock, then a senior, in
the district playoffs. And one night,
Mock invited Lam to go on a run.
“It was like a six-mile run,” he
said. “It was a normal run for me
back then. I felt like I had a lot of
room to make up, and I worked my
tail off. That was my mentality, and
coincidentally, I didn’t know this, but
that was Bill Lam’s mentality.”
By the time Lam watched Mock
plow through districts, he was con-
fident he wanted the senior to do
the same in Chapel Hill despite
not seeing Mock in the more com-
petitive region-
al and state
tournaments.
The night after
districts, Lam
brought Mock
and his family
together for his
decision.
“I’m going to
make this easy
for you,” Mock
remembers Lam saying. “I’m going
to take all the pressure away. You
want to come to North Carolina?
Here’s the offer. You don’t have to
even tell me. It’s there for you. You
have no pressure. If you don’t win
another match, I still want you at
North Carolina.”
But Mock did win again. He
won the state championship, and
after that, all the big Pennsylvania
wrestling schools came out of
the woodwork. Almost every one
offered Mock a scholarship, but
his father reminded him that Lam
believed in him before he was a
state champion.
Mock followed his father’s advice
and enrolled at UNC, where he grew
even more driven toward success.
After finishing third nationally
as a sophomore and placing out-
side the top eight as a junior, Mock
redshirted as part of Lam’s master
plan to load his 1982 roster with
experience for an all-or-nothing
NCAA Tournament run. But for
Mock, it wasn’t time off. It was an
extra year to train for his next visit
to the NCAA championships.

By the time a piece of vinyl or an mp3 reaches your hands, it’s traveled a
long and involved path. There’s the songwriting, arrangement and then
—finally —the recording process. So, where are these magical places called
recording studios, where your favorite local and national artists come to
pick and pluck songs to perfection? Dive’s got the scoop on three of the
area’s most active and prestigious studios, from Jeff Crawford’s home-
based outfit Arbor Ridge to Durham’s Pure Sound, which is equipped (and
sells) state of the art equipment. Read on to learn about what these three
studios are up to, and what makes the products they produce so diverse.

“A lot of people are really doomsday about the

Empty beer bottles, a littered outdoor fire pit
and a converted water jug reading “Studio Beer and
Sundries Fund” — it’s clear that musicians coming
through Arbor Ridge not only play rock ‘n’ roll, but
live it.
Jeff Crawford’s studio doesn’t house isolated
sound booths or dampening foam, but what it lacks
in expensive accessories, it makes up for it with a wall
of classic guitars and a scattered room of keyboards,
pianos and organs.
music industry and not being able to make money
off of CDs anymore, but I think the more digital it
becomes, the more it’s going to make for a lot of neat
recording projects,” Crawford said.
“Lots of people are doing 7’s on vinyl now, and vinyl
seems to be even more accessible to local artists.”
Upcoming projects for Arbor Ridge include a
recording session with local folk rock sweethearts,
Mandolin Orange and a new Brett Harris album.

Arbor Ridge uses a Pro Tools system and features a 4-track TEAC tape
machine. Crawford’s studio mixes digital and tape recording processes.

If Nightsound Studios’ business mantra could be
summarized with a single image, that visual would be
a clock with no hands. In fact, such an object hangs
in the recording studio’s confines.
“When people are standing in there recording, I
want them to see that clock and go, ‘OK, they’re not
going to just charge me until I run out of money and
then I’ll never finish my project,’” said Nightsound’s
Chris Wimberley.
This relationship between the artists and the stu-
dio extends far beyond the missing hands on a time-
piece.
Soon, the business will branch into the marketing
end of the spectrum.
“It’s not enough for us to just simply work on some-
thing and send it out there into the world,” Wimberley
said. “We’re starting a company called Hidden Door,
which is a marketing company for artists and small
businesses that can’t afford marketing firms.”
There’s nothing the studio won’t touch, be it death
metal or the indie pop featured on the recent local
compilation “Musical Chairs.”

Sound Pure is the Ferrari equivalent of local
recording studios. Sleek, sizeable and cutting edge, it’s
immediately clear that this isn’t a small, lo-fi opera-
tion — and Sound Pure’s Todd Atlas wouldn’t have it
any other way.
“For me and a lot of the engineers here, the best
thing we can do is work on projects at the highest
possible levels,” said Atlas.
In plain terms, that means sessions with Grammy
winners and nominees — like Nnenna Freelon —
tions like collegiate a cappella groups.
Ultimately, Sound Pure’s ability to dabble in numer-
ous areas of the recording spectrum set it apart.
“It’s the variety of the projects that’s just really,
really exciting as an engineer,” Atlas said. “Once upon
a time, engineers and producers — and a handful of
them still do — were very, very focused. I think the
reality is that to be successful in the studio business
today, you can’t be a one trick pony.”

Inside Job
A week ago, the UNC Global
Research Institute hosted an
interview with Larry Summers,
the director of President Barack
Obama’s National Economic
Council.
He was inter view by Bill
Harrison Jr., former CEO of
JPMorgan Chase, one of the big-
gest banks in the U.S. This inter-
view was supposedly a response
to former U.S. Treasury Secretary
Henry Paulson’s talk, also hosted at
UNC, earlier this year.
And if you don’t understand why
all of this is so problematic, you
need to watch “Inside Job” as soon
as possible.
The fact is, as this lively and
enlightening documentary
explains, the very people who
caused our current recession never
really left the reins of economic
policy. Between the market funda-
mentalists of the Reagan and Bush
years and the corporatist compro-
mises of the Clinton and Obama
administrations, there is hardly
anything to choose from.
Paulson out, Summers in — and
as one commentator in the film
says, it’s all “a Wall Street govern-
ment.”
Still, “Inside Job” isn’t your typi-
cal rabble-rousing populism. It
may have a hearty pot of righteous
anger simmering on its cinematic
stove, but it’s also full of detailed
explanations of what actually went
wrong with the housing bubble and
derivatives market.
Plenty of those detailed explana-
tions come from interviews with
economic analysts and would be
Diversions
reformers such as Eliot Spitzer,
who, while definitely an insider
himself, at least tried to warn us
where we were heading before it
was too late.
Not all the film’s interviews are
with the nice guys though, and it’s
these that Matt Damon, as narra-
tor, handles like a champ. Though
he’s informed enough to hold his
own with the lying, prevaricating
pricks he interviews, he’s mostly
content to sit back and let them
implicate themselves with their
greed and nastiness.
And what about those other
e s t a b l i s h m e n t fi g u r e s , l i k e
Summers and Paulson? Though
their parts in the recession and
their double lives as profiteering
consultants are well documented
in the film, you won’t see them get
a one-on-one grilling here.
They declined to be interviewed
for “Inside Job” and prefer tak-
ing softball questions at business
schools and universities like UNC
instead.
And that, by the way, is just one accused of directing highfalutin

Butterflies take flight on ‘Residual Child’

by anna norris
staff writer
The biggest difference you notice
about Butterflies’ Residual Child
is how much of a stark contrast it
is to bands like Arcade Fire and
The National, which explore the
painstakingly boring routines of
everyday life —a Pitchfork review
labeled The National’s brand of
music as ‘sad bastard melodrama’.
Butterflies, meanwhile, are rev-
eling in the simplicity of such pro-
cedures. To the Chapel Hill band,
simple doesn’t mean you have to
sacrifice for beauty and charm.
For the group’s second album,
vocalist Josh Kimbrough, bass-
ist Ross Connolly and drummer
TJ Maiani added their producer
Patrick Jones to the lineup to man
the keyboard and synthesizers.
Friends (or maybe more) catch-
ing up over lunch, inability to com-
municate feelings and the search to
live a meaningful life are some of
the topics of choice for the local
bunch, set to a shimmering, sum-
mery blend of clear and warbling
electric guitar, synths and drums.
Even though the themes might
be serious, for the most part the
band’s sound is so upbeat and
hopeful that you can’t be brought
down. Butterflies make you feel as
much levity as its name suggests.
MUSICreview
butterflies
residual child
rock
It’s a double-edged sword, how-
ever, and by the end of the album it
seems that Butterflies are toeing a
fine line between boyish charm and
innocence and sheer naiveté.
Even though the more rock-
heavy “Forklift” discusses troubles
with a past lover as “kid games”
and hopes for an older, wiser rela-
tionship, it still doesn’t feel all that
serious.
After all, how much luck can you
have with a love song like “Canteen,”
with a chorus of “I wanna dry your
boots/I wanna load your weapons/
I wanna fill your canteen” ?
What, then, to make of
“Sleepless?” Sandwiched quietly
in the middle of the record, it falls
into the handful of radio-friendly
songs Residual Child has (along
with “Guitarist” and “Goodbye
(Like a Stranger)”), but it’s noth-
ing like the rest of the album. The
bubbly pop-rock is gone, replaced
with a slow, mournful electric gui-
tar and strings.
As Kimbrough, all earnestness
gone, sings, “Your mind wakes up
ATTEND THE RELEASE SHOW
Time: 8 p.m. Saturday

300 E. Main St., Carrboro
Info: www.catscradle.com
to be sure you remember you’ve
abandoned all your goals,” it seems
that perhaps Butterflies isn’t a
stranger to misery after all.
Just when it seemed this gang
of guys knew next to nothing
about life and its complications,
Butterflies pulls out a song that
shows just how wide the band’s
reach can be.
“Sleepless” is only a taste of the
heavy material Butterflies can pro-
vide, and it doesn’t detract from
the overall mood of the album.
But Butterflies do morose so well,
instead of focusing on the rest of
the album, it only leaves you crav-
ing more.
It’s a solidly crafted pop album,
but the knowledge of the band’s
ability to create deeper material
keeps you from being completely
invested and satisfied with the
record as a whole. Let’s hope that
next time, Butterflies won’t hesi-
tate to fly into darker territory.

puritan rodeo
puritan rodeo
rock/country
The phrase “puritan rodeo” is
a paradox if there ever was one.
“Puritan” evokes a picture of some-
one straight-laced and uptight,
while “rodeo” brings to mind a
raucous good time.
Though local outfit Puritan
Rodeo’s music falls more under
the “rodeo” description, the dozen
tracks on its self-titled release
blend components of Americana,
rock and country to form upbeat
and dance-y tunes fit for a honky
tonk.
The album is reminiscent of
an alternate-universe Squirrel
Nut Zippers record, had the fel-
low Chapel Hillians taken a turn
toward country instead of jazz. It
has a pleasant twang to it through-
out, and the roughness around the
edges adds to its charm.
A banjo merrily jangles along
with intermittent fiddle and man-
dolin across the rest of album. The
rhythms on this record are simple
but powerful, hitting hard and
fast.
Most of the tracks stay pretty
short, lingering long enough to
sound like a complete thought
but not so long that they lose your
interest.
Shared male and female vocals
add to the complexity and help
keep the album from settling too
far into any one tone.
T he record does have its
relaxed moments, most notably on
“Wedding Day,” which has a slow,
mournful swing.
The slow tracks come as a relief,
serving as chances to take a break
between songs that will otherwise
have you kicking off your shoes to
dance.
While the album is good in its
own right, it definitely sounds as
though it would shine in a live set-
ting. Puritan Rodeo has an audible,
if not restrained, energy on its lat-
est self-titled release, an unselfcon-
sciousness that dares you not to cut
loose.
-Allison Hussey
Tim Kasher
The game of monogamy
pop
Perhaps it’s a jaded marriage in
his past, the subsequent divorce
or general satirical feelings about
the institution of marriage that
inspired Tim Kasher on The Game
of Monogamy. But whatever it is,
we’re willing to play along.
On the artist’s solo debut, he
weaves together quirky songs with
playful, multi-colored sounds and
lyrics that hint at a string of broken
hearts.
As the front man of indie groups
Cursive and The Good Life, Kasher
continues his solo album in a simi-
lar fashion, combining a multitude
of instrumentals with descriptive
and often desperate lyrics that
describe a character who is — in
all probability — an extension of
himself.
The layers of sound and lyrics
might reflect Kasher’s past proj-
ects, but there’s little evidence of
Cursive’s thrashing volatility.
With its game-like whimsicality,
The Game of Monogamy is a quick
saunter through the masked reality
of broken love.
Kasher mixes things up with
cheery pop ditties, short musical
overtures and slow, pensive tunes
that recall the past in intricate
detail.
The album’s centerpiece as well
as stand-out track, “Cold Love,”
contrary to its name, is full of
warm tones and upbeat energy. In
a similar vein to a sing-a-long gem,
the engulfing pop sound and sweet
background vocals mask the “sub-
urban doldrums,” and the pains
of the past about which Kasher
sings.
Although the quirky lyrics give a
light-hearted feel to an album full
of generally negative emotions,
sometimes Kasher takes the listen-
er on an infinite ride that seems to
turn into nonsensical phrases.
Along with the constant theme
of monogamy comes monotony,
starSystem
Poor
Fair
good
Excellent
Classic
particularly after the seventh or
so song about a broken marriage,
broken desires and past memories
of the two.
For Kasher, The Game of
Monogamy lingers in regret and
pain. Yet, like any good game,
the songs are fun and engaging,
enough so to mask the angst that
simmers below.

Q&A: A CHAT WITH JUNIP’S TOBIAS WINTERKORN

There are plenty of adjectives
that would suit Junip’s sound —
ethereal, zen, otherworldly — but
for the most part, they’d hint at
a group whose sound evokes its
Swedish origins.
Diversions Editor Linnie Greene
chatted with keyboardist Tobias
Winterkorn as the band embarks
on its North American tour, and
caught up on what makes a great
show and what’s going on back
home.
Diversions: What’s the
biggest difference you’ve noticed
between Swedish and American
crowds?
Tobias Winterkorn:
My first time in the U.S. was this
summer, in June, so that was the
first time for me. I thought it was
more joyful. The crowd was more
— cheering and yelled stuff like
that. They do that in Sweden, but
they’re not that enthusiastic about
it. And now I’m here for the second
time, and it’s probably the same.
I like it a lot; I like it even more
than Sweden. Outside Sweden, it’s
good in Europe, but I really like the
American crowd.
Dive: Do you expect a simi-
lar kind of crowd for your gig in
Chapel Hill?
TW: We haven’t been there yet,
but we’re going there, and I’m look-
ing forward to that. I think we only
played quite big cities so far.
Dive: Were you involved in
choosing Sharon Van Etten as
your opener? How did that come
about?
FN: Yeah. We got to listen to
her, and our tour manager — or,
our manager — he liked it. We
listened to it and we were like,

‘Fields’ a pop fairytale odyssey

by linnie Greene
diversions editor
The Scandinavian landscape is
like a page out of a Brothers Grimm
tale. Apparently, so is its music.
Junip, comprised of Swedes José
Gonzalez, Elias Araya and Tobias
Winterkorn, emerges with Fields
after a four-year hiatus since its
last effort, and the return is largely
triumphant.
The album’s greatest asset is
the continuous pulse that prevails
from start to finish. Even in songs
whose tempos ebb and flow slowly,
the sense of rhythm and current

easy to picture an icy, Swedish
landscape behind the swelling,
labyrinthine tunes.
The band’s at its best when its
tranquil, zen-like songs veers into
unexpected terrain. “It’s Alright”
evokes a Beatles single from The

Varsity Theatre to show rare Warhol films

Series celebrates
his life, work
by KELLY blessing
staff writer
With drag queens and graffiti
artists on the silver screen, Andy
Warhol’s mischievous legacy con-
tinues to work its way into Chapel
Hill.
In a rare showing of Warhol’s
“Chelsea Girls,” one of the 20th
century’s most controversial art
films, the Ackland Art Museum
and the Varsity Theatre aim to
promote the artist’s media legacy
while launching an ambitious new
film partnership.
“Warhol on Film: 4 Snapshots”
will feature Warhol films that
the Ackland borrowed from the
Modern Museum of Art.
“These four films not only offer
glimpses into Warhol’s own com-
plicated and extensive project of a
wholesale reinvention of American
cinema, they also have more gen-
eral connections between pop art
and U.S. culture at various points
in time,” said Richard Cante, direc-
tor of the interdisciplinary program
in cinema at UNC and curator for
this event.
The Warhol series is the beginning
of the Art Now/Cinema Now project,
a collaborative initiative between the
Ackland and the University’s inter-
disciplinary program in cinema and
screen arts, Cante said.
The screening of “Chelsea Girls”
— a lengthy exploration of New
York City’s drag queens and artists
in the 1970s — will be run through
two simultaneous projectors.
This double-projection method
of outdated 16-mm film guarantees
that no single viewing of the film

“These works operate right at
the juncture between the Ackland’s

Those exhibits — “Snapshots,”
“Enduring Likeness” and
“Counterlives” — are centered
around a traveling collection of

The other two films in the series —
“Midnight Cowboy” and “Basquiat”
— were not made by Warhol, but
are reminiscent of the cultural ide-
als that helped shape the artist.
“Basquiat” tells the story of graf-
fiti artist-turned pop-art celebrity
Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was
championed by Warhol and his
friends before he gained larger suc-
cess in the art world.

One-man show ‘Thom Pain’ to open
Will feature UNC senior Zac Moon
by Tariq Luthun
staff writer
Tonight, the peculiar Thom Pain
will lay claim to Bingham Hall.
Produced by the LAB! Theatre,
“Thom Pain” is a one-man show
written by American playwright
Will Eno that revolves around the
storytelling efforts of the titular
character.
Senior Zac Moon, a dramatic
arts and communication studies
double major, will play Pain.
“It’s not like a lot of one-man
shows in that it’s not perfectly
dth/jessie lowe structured,” Moon said. “There are
audience will first see.
“He has a different world view
than I think a lot of people do — it
may come across as pessimistic, but
it is also strangely hopeful,” Moon
said. “We find ourselves holding
ourselves back a lot, but he doesn’t
feel that social constraint.”
The show, which runs just lon-
ger than an hour, will take the form
of an extended monologue.
Only three people — the actor,
the director and the stage manager
— comprise the production’s core.
“Even in the script, it lists the
second character as the audience,”
Moon proposed the show to
LAB!, casting himself as Pain from
the beginning.
Senior Amelia Sciandra, a LAB!
producer who was involved with
the selection process, said that the
show goes hand-in-hand with the
mission of LAB!
“We usually see a lot of simi-
lar types of proposals, but ‘Thom
Pain’ is very unique,” Sciandra said.
“‘Thom Pain’ engages the audience
in a way that theater-goers may not
be accustomed to.”
Not only is Pain difficult to com-
prehend, but the script describing
him was just as taxing. The crew
spent a month deciphering the
script, striving to make the play

on some level that should be very
relatable, though people aren’t
willing to admit it.”
Moon feels that his stint as Pain
will be prove to be memorable, he
said.
“What I think is so interesting
and honest about ‘Thom Pain’ is
that there’s this character that wants
to get something across, but he’s not
totally sure what,” Moon said.
“He goes in a million different

more than just another perfor-

“There is a really dense, well

the vice president of student affairs
who also met with Robinette,
declined to comment.
Following the meeting, Robinette
and Satell consulted lawyers and
decided the best course of action
was to file a complaint with the
U.S. Department of Education.
“We feel that (the complaint)
would be the most effective and
least burdensome,” Satell said.
“You’re never guaranteed any-
thing in a court of law, but the
Department of Education is look-
ing at a very narrow issue of wheth-
er Duke’s response was sufficient.”
The allegation will be investi-
gated by the department’s Office
of Civil Rights, which deals with
discrimination claims and issues
involving Title IX, a law that keeps
people from being denied access to
educational programs that receive
federal funding on the basis of sex.
The next steps in the complaint
process will be basic fact-finding
interviews with those involved,
namely Duke administrators and
Robinette and Satell. But the mem-
bers of the College Republicans
who originally were the subjects
of harassment claims will likely
not be involved in the complaints,
Robinette said.
“While I would like that they
investigate the College Republicans
matter, the reality is they won’t
have the chance to do that,” said
Robinette, who is graduating in
December. “And that’s not as impor-
tant to me as this investigation.”
More important is the acknowl-
edgement that Duke handled the
whole situation poorly, he said.
“It’s part vindication, but anoth-
er part of it is for future Duke stu-
dents who want to come to them
for help,” Satell said.

Landfill
from page 3
landfill for the last 38 years.
Commissioner Barry Jacobs,
who initially proposed the motion,
said the fate of solid waste will be
a priority at the meeting.
“Solid waste needs resolution,”
Jacobs said. “That’s the most press-
ing issue in that respect.”
The report recommends
improving the five existing waste
convenience centers by the end of
the 2013-2014 fiscal year through
extending hours, expanding recy-
cling opportunities and adding a
sixth site.
“The work group is (looking
into) how to modernize and make
them more efficient,” said Solid
Waste Management Director Gayle
Wilson.
The county landfill is expected
to fill in 2013, and commissioners
have yet to look at alternatives.
“They’ve not yet decided if they
will deliver waste to Durham or
pursue other options … At present,
no other sites are being looked at,”
Wilson said. “There hasn’t been a
process to decide where or when.”
Commissioners will also address
the future of facilities for county
departments at the meeting.
Proposals include building a
15,000-square-foot addition on the
Southern Human Services Center,
relocating the office of county
public defenders from Carrboro
to Hillsborough and increasing
detention space for the jail.
Commissioner Vice Chairwoman
Bernadette Pelissier said a time
frame for completion of either the
waste disposal sites or the new
facilities isn’t yet feasible.
“You have to plan things in
advance, but it’s hard to predict
what will happen with the current
economic situation,” she said.

Soda tax:
a solution
to a big
problem
T
hanksgiving. It’s a time
to celebrate the day our
ancestors made peace with
the American Indians. So how do
we celebrate it? Like we celebrate
any other national holiday —
with a huge meal.
Beyond our nation’s borders,
we are known as a country of
fatties. When I was studying
abroad in Argentina last fall,
my host family thought they
knew the answer to why so many
Americans are fat — they eat too
much peanut butter.
My host family may have been
on the right track, since processed
foods and beverages high in fat,
like peanut butter, are so much
cheaper than fresh produce.
Eating or drinking large quanti-
ties of processed foods and bever-
ages is one of the major causes of
our nation’s obesity epidemic.
To find out about solutions to
the obesity epidemic, I interviewed
UNC distinguished professor
Barry Popkin, who published a
book in 2009 about obesity enti-
tled “The World is Fat”.
In his book, Popkin makes a
case for a “fat tax,” which would
tax foods and beverages with
high fat contents, discourag-
ing consumers from purchasing
them. He argues that taxing ciga-
rettes and alcohol has lowered
their consumption rates, and this
strategy could work just as well
to lower the consumption of fatty
foods and beverages.
Popkin suggests the effort to
tax fattening foods should be
focused on sugar-sweetened bev-
erages such as sodas and energy
drinks, since there is a disconnect
between what we drink and what
we eat.
In other words, when we drink
a high-fat beverage, we don’t
feel full, so we eat a high-calorie
meal to go with it. Thus, if high
fat beverages were to be cut out
of a person’s diet and replaced
with low-calorie beverages such
as water, their fat intake would be
greatly reduced.
There is a consensus among
scholars in the diabetes, nutri-
tion, heart and cancer sectors
that reducing a person’s intake
of sugar-sweetened beverages
would reduce their calorie intake,
lowering their risk of diabetes and
heart disease. In a cash-strapped
economy, like ours, consumers are
especially cost-conscious. Thus,
a tax on sugar-sweetened bever-
ages would be an effective way to
reduce their consumption.
The major opposition for these
findings is coming from — you
guessed it — the companies that
produce these beverages, like
Pepsi and Coke, since higher
prices would be bad for business.
But this week, the Bipartisan
Policy Center, a nonprofit organi-
zation founded by former Senate
majority leaders, came out with a
deficit reduction plan that favors
a soda tax.
The report estimates that the
tax would raise more than $15
billion by 2015, plus the money it
would save hospitals on obesity-
related medical bills, such as
treatments for diabetes and heart
disease.
Until legislation can be passed
requiring beverage companies to
tax their sugar-sweetened prod-
ucts, other important and poten-
tially effective methods — such as
better nutrition education — are
being introduced in health care
centers. But it’s not enough.
Ultimately, preventing and
treating obesity will require a
combination of better nutrition
education and a soda tax (hey, at
least it’s not a peanut butter tax!)

Risk and reward
The challenge of taking the MBA experience online
U
NC may regret its deci-
sion to launch MBA@
UNC if high standards
of student and teacher interac-
tion cannot be maintained.
On Monday, plans were
unveiled for a new online MBA
program at UNC’s Kenan-
Flagler Business School.
UNC is entering a market
where the bulk of students
study through noncompetitive
education providers such as the
University of Phoenix.
By going online, it’s clear
that UNC is hoping to profit
by being the first top-ranked
school among the options in the
lucrative global MBA market.

It sounds like the start of a

when folks from these groups will-

we miss out on the ideas, creativ-
ity and passion that exists outside
of each of our comfortable UNC
bubbles.
When Elie Wiesel recently
came to UNC, he argued that our
generation needs to work together
better. And according to Wiesel,
that requires “getting everyone in

We’re looking for about eight columnists who will produce hard-hitting, insightful, well-written and well-researched
columns with local relevance centered around a theme of their own choosing on a biweekly basis.
We’re looking for about eight to 10 board members who will write unsigned editorials on behalf of the DTH. Members
must attend a one-hour meeting on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday each week to brainstorm and pitch ideas. Each board
member can expect to write several editorials a week.
We’re looking for cartoonists who will produce creative, original editorial cartoons weekly. Submit three work samples to apply.
Please visit 151 E. Rosemary Street or www.DailyTarHeel.com under “Opinion” for an application.
Applications are due at 5 p.m. Dec. 8. Contact Opinion Editor Cameron Parker at cdp@unc.edu with questions.

But the jury is still out on

And if UNC is expecting the

That doesn’t mean we should

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let adults choose what
they want to consume
TO THE EDITOR:
Yesterday’s letter, “Four Loko is
dangerous, sale should be banned,”
not only utilizes flawed logic, but
also advocates the further limita-
tion of our rights as adults. To be
sure, Four Loko has a great deal
of alcohol and caffeine, and drink-
ing them in excess is dangerous.
However, when this becomes the
standard to the prohibition of
substances, where does it end?
Drinking coffee in excess clearly
would not be safe, but no one is
proposing to ban it.
Moreover, the authors assert
that because one could buy two
Four Lokos for around $6, this
must be the appropriate portion
size. By this logic, because a fifth
of Aristocrat vodka costs under
$10, this must be an acceptable
amount for an evening of drink-
ing. Additionally, this fifth of vodka
could simply be mixed with other
highly caffeinated, legal beverages
such as Red Bull and Mountain
Dew for a similar effect.
Although I grieve for those
who have died from alcohol poi-
soning, I feel that our elected rep-
resentatives should not prevent
rational adults from indulging
in the alcohol of their choosing,
including Four Loko. For now
let’s focus on solving the root of
the problem: binge drinking on
college campuses. Banning Four
Loko merely puts a temporary
Band-Aid on the problem until
the next fad drink arises.

Personal decisions should
guide Four Loko debate
TO THE EDITOR:
Remember the first time you
touched a hot stove? You prob-
ably learned pretty quickly that
it was a bad idea. But did your
mother have the stove removed
from the house after you burned
your hand and thereafter cook
ever ything by microwave?
Granted, my analogy is a bit of a
stretch, but I think it adequately
describes the asinine nature of
the Four Loko debate.
Four Loko and its ilk should
absolutely not be banned, as sug-
gested in Tuesday’s letter (“Four
Loko is dangerous, sale should
be banned”). First of all, there’s
the obvious: banning caffeinated
alcoholic drinks won’t stop me
from going to the bar and getting
a Red Bull vodka, Jack and Coke,
or any one of the innumerable
combinations of alcoholic and caf-
feinated drinks already available.
More insidious, though, is the way
in which this debate reflects the
terror experienced by our society
when faced with (gasp) personal
responsibility. People should be
allowed to learn from their own
mistakes. How else would you
learn not to touch a hot stove?
The reason people inevitably
drink to excess when they drink
Four Loko is that the only reason
they would drink that awful stuff
is because they want to drink to
excess. If such a decision proves
to have deleterious consequences,
so be it. Nobody is holding guns
to peoples’ heads forcing them to
drink Four Loko. Let them figure
things out on their own for once.

N.C. State right to honor
Russell Wilson as a senior
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to Jonathan Jones’
highly opinionated column
(“Russell Wilson should not be a
celebrated senior,” Nov. 17) about
N.C. State honoring quarterback
Russell Wilson during their senior
day, I only have one question: Who
cares? I know the undergraduate
population is eagerly hoping for
our first victory over the Wolfpack
in football since Tom O’Brien
became N.C. State’s head coach,
but who are we to question the
practices of another school hon-
oring a great student athlete?
Given the possibility of Wilson
not coming back next year I
applaud the N.C. State coaching
staff for choosing to proceed with
honoring Wilson, who despite
just playing three years is second
all-time in touchdowns in ACC
history, as opposed to risking
him not having the same oppor-
tunity to be honored that every
other senior has.
Say what you want, but college
football has been truly blessed to
have an outstanding individual
like Russell Wilson represent-
ing the sport as he completely
encapsulates what it means to
be a student-athlete.

UNC must stop buying coal
taken from surface mines
TO THE EDITOR:
Despite pressure from student
organizations and coverage from
The Daily Tar Heel, administra-
tors have continued to allow
UNC to buy coal extracted from
surface mines, ignoring UNC’s
own coal sourcing policies and
contributing to the devastat-
ing public health and ecological
issues caused by strip mining.
These consequences include the
burial of 2,000 miles of streams,
the annihilation of 500 moun-
tains, and the clearing of 1 mil-
lion acres of once-thriving forest.
Central Appalachia is a war zone.
But there are real solutions we
can pursue at UNC while we con-
tinue burning coal. We can find
coal sourced from deep mines
to replace these dirty “contour”
mining contracts, and we can
hold Energy Services account-
able for evaluating mines in per-
son before signing contracts.
Last May, many students sup-
ported and applauded our uni-
versity’s commitment to move
beyond coal by 2020 at the lat-
est. But if UNC has broken its
promise on coal sourcing, can
we trust them to uphold others?
