I
t happened again. It came
and it went. As expected,
“the most wonderful time of
the year” left untold millions of
dollars in credit card debt and
thousands of pounds in guilty,
sugared pleasures. It left trees,
stripped of elaborate decor, at
our curbsides awaiting pickup. It
left Snooki having to change her
plans for New Years Eve when
New Yorkers firmly refused her
request to ride the ball down in
Times Square.
And it left a question in my
head: Why do we continue to
jump on this holiday bandwagon,
year after year?
Sure, various cultures have
religious ties to the season, but
none require all the busy materi-
alism. And don’t get me wrong,
I love time with the close family
and seasonal traditions as much
as anyone else.
But the excess hustle and bus-
tle of the holidays is just inescap-
able. No matter how stressful the
gatherings are with those distant
relatives that we really don’t like
but are obliged to see yearly, we
still go through with them.
We jump on the one-horse
open sleigh only because millions
worldwide are doing it too. And
we see these same trends year
round. They’re the clothes we buy,
regardless of taste, to fit the social
norm. They’re the games that
we attend because 60,000 fans
claim that they’re fun. They’re the
episodes of Glee that we watch so
that we can have a basis of conver-
sation with all the other ‘Gleeks’
the next day. The bandwagons
may even have pressured some of
us to come to college — after all,
everyone else was doing it.
Social scientist Muzafer Sherif
hypothesized that this “mirror-
ing” is human nature. In a 1935
social experiment, he asked
individuals to estimate the dis-
tance that a dot traveled across
a screen. Next, he put them in
groups and asked them to do the
same experiment aloud.
Because the group answers
were roughly identical while the
individual answers were starkly
different, he concluded that
people conform to group norms
when they’re put in an ambigu-
ous situation.
In the 1950s, Solomon Asch
continued to investigate the
fragility of individuality in mass
societies. When participants in a
study were confronted with con-
trary opinions of the majority, his
study showed that their tendency
was to conform and adapt the
more accepted opinion.
Basic perceptions would prob-
ably tell most responsible parents
that it is not okay to sit their chil-
dren on the lap of an old, bearded
man in the middle of the mall.
But as Asch’s experiment shows,
majority trumps intuition. And
when we’re unsure of how best to
use our time, what to buy or how
to help out, we simply look around.
So I guess what the holidays
left me wondering was how our
lives would be different if we
didn’t fall victim to this compel-
ling need to do what others are
doing. What creative ways might
we find to keep warm in absence
of The North Face and Uggs?
What other investments could
be made with four years worth of
hard work and tuition money?
Would action by choice prevail
in lieu of the manipulation from
the masses?
I think yes. But our culture
neither backs this re-evaluation
nor advocates careful examina-
tion of our decisions as free and
fully responsible human beings.

T
he repeal of Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell on Dec. 18,
while still not officially
enacted, still marks a mile-
stone in the progress toward
equal rights.
Here at UNC, it hits especially
close to home. It is a bright spot
in the struggle of Sara Isaacson
to serve her country openly.
Isaacson was asked to leave
UNC’s Army ROTC program
when she came out as a lesbian
last year, in addition to being
saddled with a nearly $80,000
tuition bill.
The repeal also highlights the
importance of UNC adhering
to its institutional values, even
when it is forced to capitulate
to contradictory policies.
Until a month ago, the
most pronounced asymmetry
between UNC and the military
was a commitment to nondis-

T
he new Community
House Men’s Shelter to
be located on Homestead
Road remains a hotly debated
topic among the shelter’s soon-
to-be-neighborhood. Citizens
have complained about its
proximity to a preschool and
the possible decrease in prop-
erty value.
However, compromises by
the Inter-Faith Council, which
will operate the new shelter,
indicate a valiant effort to value
the viewpoint of the commu-
nity in designing its guidelines
for the shelter.
At least three community
discussion meetings were held
last year in order for commu-
nity members to voice their
concerns. In total, about 300
people attended the meetings,
said Chris Moran, executive
director of the IFC.
A teachable tragedy
Shooting strikes a chord for more measured tone

oo often in the media
and in our political con-
versations, elevated and
fiery rhetoric is carelessly ban-
died around. If there is any-
thing that can be gleaned from
the tragic shooting of U.S. Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., in
Tuscon this weekend, it is a
reminder of the importance of
our own civility in our political
discourse.
In this time of national
mourning, we all have a respon-
sibility to reflect on the conse-
quences of words that we use in
our day-to-day vernacular.
The toxic political environ-
ment encouraged by politi-
cians and media outlets alike
every day divides our nation

cal lines.

crimination — even on the
grounds of sexual orientation.
And yet UNC, especially as a
public institution, was essen-
tially powerless to disassociate
or change policy.
Isaacson’s experience tested
this tenuous balance between
the school’s values and its obli-
gations to the military. Here
was a student who was forced to
leave UNC because of who she
was, and with few discretionary
funds, it wasn’t possible for the
University to cover her debt.
Faced with this dilemma, the
administration acted admira-
bly, if not conspicuously.
Public outcry by the
University’s or the system’s lead-
ers was effectively non-existent.
But, according to Isaacson, the
relative public silence belied an
incredible concern by an essen-
tially helpless administration
As a result of the views
expressed by the public, the
IFC has made changes to the
way the newest shelter will
operate. The shelter staff will
make sure the residents are
both clean and sober.
There will also be a “no visi-
tor” policy to keep people who
do not qualify for the program
away from the shelter and the
surrounding community. In
order to be eligible for the pro-
gram, a prospective resident
will need to be referred by an
outside organization.
Moran said that the shelter
is still planning the logistics of
monitoring the sobriety of resi-
dents. It should solidify those
soon.
However, with the require-
ment of a referral to enter the
shelter, most residents will
already be screened for addic-

board seeks to bring a fair and
measured tone to the upcoming

In that same vein, we call on
all candidates in the upcoming

campaigns focused on policy,
and not take the lesson from
national politics to launch
angry or slanderous personal
attacks.
The upcoming debates in
these elections should lift our

She says she received e-mails
from both former UNC-system
president Erskine Bowles and
Chancellor Holden Thorp.
She was also in close contact
with members of the Dean of
Students Office.
A more outward expression
of solidarity would have been
appreciated. But Isaacson
had a point: Don’t Ask, Don’t
Tell was a national policy that
administrators could simply
not have changed.
Still, public knowledge of their
concern would have been more
beneficial, as it’s just about all
that administrators could do.

tions and other problems. The
IFC seems to recognize the
importance of a clean shel-
ter to keeping the community
happy.
Another point of contention
was the policy of allowing more
people to use the shelter when
inclement weather occurs. The
people who use the shelter dur-
ing this time would not be have
to be referred to use the shelter.
While a valid concern, this
will only occur in extreme
weather situations, when it is
too cold or dangerous to be
outside, and will only be used
when absolutely necessary.
The IFC and the new shel-
ter were right to include the
opinions of the public in these
policies. Claims by those still

that the IFC has not been accom-
modating are overblown.
involved students of many
political persuasions. Whether
you are going to hear a political
speech on campus or attending
a local rally in Carrboro, take
pause to consider your own
conduct.
Obviously, crazy people with
renegade intentions will con-
tinue to exist in the future. But
political commentators, can-
didates and voters alike have
a responsibility to maintain a
civil tone to deprive those ren-
egades of much of the ammu-
nition they use to justify their
actions.
While there is great sadness
this week, the lessons learned
provide an important inspi-
ration for a civilized, unified
political environment in the
months to come.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
IFC shelter a success for
homeless and community
TO THE EDITOR:
For almost 50 years the Inter-
Faith Council has led Orange
County in addressing the hun-
ger and homelessness that are as
much a part of our community as
UNC’s ivied halls and Chapel Hill’s
quiet neighborhoods. Since 1985,
various task forces have attempted
to locate a men’s residential facility
that could offer a greater range of
services than our current location,
the Old Municipal Building, can
provide.
Now — thanks to UNC trust-
ees, the Town of Chapel Hill,
congregations, business lead-
ers, IFC staff and volunteers —
this facility is planned for 1315
Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.,
a site buffered from residential
neighborhoods that will afford
clients access to public trans-
portation for jobs, classes, social
services and a safe haven in
which to learn skills and receive
support needed to resume useful
places in the community.
Because I’ve been an IFC vol-
unteer and board member for over
a decade, I see this development as
a dream come true. But many in
the community see it as a threat
and are determined to derail the
project. I understand the fear that
underlies such opposition.
I invite those who oppose the
IFC’s plans to join us for lunch
at Community House. You will
see that IFC’s clients are not an
amorphous, threatening mass,
but just folks, many of them in
unfortunate circumstances, but
as worthy of a place in this com-
munity — and as willing to be a
good neighbor — as you or me.

Seelinger’s unsolicited
legal advice unwanted
TO THE EDITOR:
This letter is in response to the
Carolina Review’s Dec. 3 article
titled “ASG Breaking the Law,” by
Marc Seelinger.
As the former ASG Vice
President of Legislative and
Public Affairs, I do not take kindly
to Mr. Seelinger’s misrepresenta-
tion of my service to students.
As an aspiring journalist, he
would have done well not to
make audacious claims about
laws, which he is neither quali-
fied nor licensed to interpret.
Considering Mr. Seelinger’s
proclivity for doling out legal
advice to former ASG officers,
he might want to review N.C.
General Statutes 84-4 and 84-5.
It offers strict penalties for those
who attempt to “play lawyer.”
However, my best guess, since
I am not a licensed attorney, is
that Marc would be no more lia-
ble for playing lawyer than ASG
is for playing lobbyist.
Nonetheless, Carolina Review’s
Robert Novak-in-training should
consider the laws regarding defa-
mation and slander.
I would humbly suggest to
all those interested in ASG’s
advocacy efforts to read “So Sue
Me,” an article written by former
ASG President Greg Doucette. It
answers most of Mr. Seelinger’s
assertions about ASG’s lobby-
ing activities. The logic found in
Greg’s article is both sound and
devoid of emotional rhetoric.

New grade input system
is inefficient, burdensome
TO THE EDITOR:
For years we have been clam-
oring for a computerized sys-
tem to transmit course grades at
the end of the semester. Now, in
fall 2010, UNC administrators
finally unveiled the new software.
Intended to relieve us of the arcane
way this onerous task has been
done for decades, perhaps centu-
ries, UNC implemented a poorly
designed, outmoded system which
barely improves on what we have
done in the past (and who knows
how much was paid for this).
Shame! What we have now is
not that much improved over the
triplicate carbon forms we filled
out last year.
Each grade must be input
manually. This creates a situation
which is as error prone as the
one we have had for years. Why
is there no way to upload our
grades like we have been doing
with BlackBoard for years? Why
must we input grades twice?
True, administrators have
eliminated one step of copying
the grades. But as instructors,
our burden was not lightened —
rather, the poorly documented
system simply replaced one bad
system with another.
This system seems to be a
throwback to software developed
10 years ago. It has the look and
feel of code written in the early
’90s, awkward and clumsy.
Where is the leadership on this
campus? Who makes these deci-
sions? Have they consulted those
of us doing the work? Going from
Cuneiform to Hieroglyphics does
not strike me as an advance. For
shame, administrators at UNC!

DTH must apologize to
families of WWII soldiers
TO THE EDITOR:
As I read and reread the DTH
on Tuesday, Dec. 7, I became
infuriated.
The entire DTH staff should
be deeply ashamed for not once
mentioning the attack on Pearl
Harbor that occurred 69 years
ago. Perhaps the DTH staff
somehow forgot this historic day
and the nearly 2,500 honorable
men and woman who lost their
lives? Perhaps there were too
many other important articles,
not leaving space for even a short
remembrance article?
There is no excuse not to pub-
lish even a short article on the
attack’s historical significance.
What’s most embarrassing is the
DTH staff deemed Dec. 7, 2003
(the day the women’s soccer team
won one of its countless NCAA
championships) more worthy to
be mentioned in the “This Day
in History” portion than Dec. 7,
1941.
The Daily Tar Heel staff ought
to apologize to those who lost
their lives in the attack, their fam-
ilies and all WWII veterans for
slapping them all in the face by
not once mentioning the attacks
on Pearl Harbor. The DTH staff
and all Americans need to be
more appreciative of those who
have gone before us and sacrificed
in order to give us the lifestyle we
live today. Never forget!

anniversary of Civil War
In commemoration of the 150th
anniversary of the Civil War, the
University Library at UNC will hold
various events starting in February,
and will post daily updates with
documents and artifacts showing
the southern experience during
the war.
Before the postings made
using Wilson Library’s Southern
Historical Collection begin, there
will be an exhibit from Feb. 1
through May 8 containing let-
ters, documents and eyewitness
accounts from people in Chapel
Hill during and before the war. The
exhibit will consist of about 160
Chapel Hill-related items and will
be displayed in the Melba Remig
Saltarelli Exhibit Room in Wilson
Library.
There will also be several talks
over the course of the semester and
exhibits in 2013 and 2015.
Two UNC student projects
chosen for health care prize
Two projects from UNC stu-
dents are among the five chosen
to compete for a $5,000 prize
through the Emerging Issues Prize
for Innovation.
The prize, being offered this year
for the first time, was created by
the Institute for Emerging Issues,
which challenged two- and four-
year N.C. colleges to find innova-
tive ways to address childhood and
adolescent obesity.
One UNC project, called
Rascals, uses watch-based pedom-
eters to track activity that can be
recorded for points. Points can be
exchanged online for gift cards and
other online rewards.
The other project from the
University is called the Little Red
Wagon, and it will travel to areas
with limited resources and access
to grocery stores. Volunteers will
deliver fresh produce at a low price
and encourage activity among
patrons.
Other projects were chosen
from N.C. State University, the
N.C. Youth Food Council and Tri-
County Community College.
At this point, finalists have
received a $1,000 prize and must
now create a video to showcase
their ideas. The winner will be
announced Feb. 8. at the 2011
Emerging Issues Forum.

UNC football hires former
Panthers coach for D-line
Former Carolina Panthers defen-
sive line coach Brian Baker will call
the shots in that same position next
year at UNC, football coach Butch
Davis announced Monday.
Baker coached 11 seasons in the
ACC before going to the profes-
sional level for the past 15 years.
“Brian is regarded as one of
the top defensive line coaches in
the NFL and his experience was
appealing because of his back-
ground as a college coach in the
ACC,” Davis said in a statement
its downtown doors at the end of
the month.
The store, a specialty shop
located at 142. E. Franklin St.,
faced financial difficulties as peo-
ple tightened their budgets in the
recession.
“There’s no doubt that the eco-
nomic recession has hit us hard,”
said junior Burcu Bozkurt, an
employee at the store, in an e-mail.
“Most of the products in the store,
though beautiful, aren’t necessi-
ties so much as they are desirable
goods.”
Situated next door to Sugarland,
the shop boasts a variety of antiques
and knickknacks from all over the
world. Products include Parisian
scarves, a solid bronze Japanese
fighting crab sculpture and a vic-
torian dutch birdcage.

Remembered as

Chancellors asked his advice.
Students sought his help.
For years, Douglass Hunt was
the man the University looked to
in times of need.
“He was in many ways the keep-
er of the flame,” said James Moeser,
chancellor from 2000 to 2008. “He
knew the history of the place, he
knew the culture of the University
and the state.
“If I ever had a question about
why something was the way it was,
Doug Hunt was certainly the key
person I could get that information
from.”
Hunt died Jan. 1. He was 86.
Hunt graduated Phi Be ta
Kappa from the University in
1946 and returned to serve as vice
chancellor for administration in
1973. From 1980 to 1996, Hunt
served as special assistant to the
chancellor.
He partially
retired in 1996

working part

assistant to the
chancellor until
2002.

one of the first
people to greet him upon his arriv-
al.
“I was a newcomer to Carolina,
and Douglass Hunt knew more
about the University historically,
but also the then present-day orga-
nization and the people who were
key,” Hardin said.
“He made sure I knew every-
body.”
Hardin said respect for Hunt’s
expertise extended to the student
body.
“When the students had con-
cerns, they would often go to
Douglass even before they came
to the vice chancellor of student
affairs or one of our other deans,”
Hardin said.
“He had been a student here
himself and he was very fond of
students,” he added.
“He made it a point to get to
know them.”
But Hardin said Hunt had more
than just a professional impact on
his life.
“More interesting to me than
what he did was who he was and
what he represented,” Hardin said.
“He was a gentleman of the old
school. He always dressed with a
coat and tie. He was almost court-
ly in his behavior — an old fash-

Tyler Mills doesn’t claim to know much
about Jodie Foster.
But at a Blockbuster store closing sale, Mills
came home with a huge cut-out of her face.
Now, Foster greets him everyday, announc-
ing the entrance into the office of the new
Carolina Union Activities Board president.
Mills, a senior, was chosen this month as
CUAB president for the 2011 spring semester.
He is taking over the position from former
president Adele Ricciardi, who graduated in
December.
“He understands my ideas and goals for
CUAB to make our organization more creative
and accessible to the student body this year
and I know that he will be successful in carry-
ing our mission,” Ricciardi said in an e-mail.
CUAB is funded by more than a quarter
of general student fees, and aims to use all of
its allotted budget for campus enrichment.
The group rarely makes a profit.
Its programming, which this semester
includes a performance from Outkast’s Big
Boi as well as the smaller-scale air guitar
competition, is chosen by the group’s board.
Student fees allocated are balanced by the
size and popularity of an event.
Mills’ involvement in CUAB began in
2009 when he and three friends participat-
ed in a “sweding” competition — a phenom-
enon that recreates a roughly edited version
of a popular movie — first introduced in the
2008 film “Be Kind Rewind.”
The four remade “The Fast and the
Furious” from memory in about two hours’
time.
“It was pretty bad,” Mills said with a laugh.
He later attended the now-annual air gui-
tar competition, reveling in what he calls the
“goofy and funny” CUAB atmosphere.
As a junior, Mills joined the pop culture
committee — formerly the music and media
committee. There, he said he learned how to
plan and organize events.
These skills prepared him most for
becoming chairman of the pop culture com-
mittee in the fall of 2010 and for his new
position as president, he said.
“You have to manage your ideas and bal-
ance them with realistic expectations,” Mills
said.
As president, Mills said he hopes to con-
tinue CUAB’s recent successes. This fall’s

ioned gentleman. But not to sell
him short, he was also bright and
up-to-date in his understanding of
things.”
In a statement issued Jan. 4,
Chancellor Holden Thorp celebrat-
ed Hunt’s illustrious service to the
University.
“Doug Hunt was one of
Carolina’s model citizens,” Thorp
said.
“His love for and knowledge
of the University was especially
intense. The University com-
munity has lost an incredible
resource.”
Moeser echoed his successor’s
sentiments, saying Hunt was a per-
sistent servant of the University.
“We’ll remember him as a per-
son who loved his University dear-
ly, who really understood its values
and its culture and was a steadfast
and stern defender of those values,”
Moeser said.

Clashes leave at least 30 dead in Sudan First rocky planet
JUBA , Sudan (MCT) — another of manipulating Abyei’s outside of system
Clashes in recent days between
Arab nomads and tribesmen

and raised fears Monday that
the independence referendum

widespread violence in the dis-

Arizona’s weak gun-control laws
questioned after Jan. 8 shooting
TUCSON, Ariz. (MCT) —
Arizona has some of the weakest
gun-control laws in the nation.
To gun owners, those laws —
which allow them to carry guns
in their cars, in restaurants and
other public places — are their
last defense against unexpected
evil.
Gun-control activists say the
state’s laws put weapons into the
hands of the mentally unstable,
and they demand that federal offi-
cials impose tougher background
checks and reinstate a ban on
assault weapons.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence
Dupnik said the state’s gun laws
contributed to the Jan. 8 shoot-
ing.
He singled out the law passed
last year that allows those 21 and
over to carry a concealed weapon
clans as proxies in a larger struggle
over control of grazing lands, water
and oil.
A separate referendum this week
on whether Abyei would join north
or south was delayed over unre-
solved political issues and fears of
renewed bloodshed.
“We will not accept Abyei to
be part of the south,” Bashir told
Al-Jazeera television over the week-
end. “If any party takes independent
action over Abyei, that would be the
beginning of a conflict.”
This has left the territory in a
precarious limbo. Exactly what has
happened over the last three days is
difficult to discern on a landscape
where northern and southern
armies have bolstered their forces
in recent months.

without a permit.
“We’re the Tombstone of the
United States of America,” Dupnik
said, referring to the Arizona town
known for its gunslinging past.
“I have never been a proponent
of letting everybody in the state
carry weapons wherever they are.
That’s almost where we are.”
He mentioned a proposed law
that would allow college students
to carry concealed guns on cam-
pus.
“That’s the ridiculous state to
where we have become,” Dupnik
said.

Abbey Court, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in Carrboro, now boasts its own newspaper, The Abbey
Court Chronicle, which was developed by students of Judith Blau’s social and economic justice class.
Abbey Court gets newspaper
by Mary Choi
staff writer
A group of UNC students have
created a newspaper to support
one of Carrboro’s underrepresented
communities.
Students in Judith Blau’s social
and economic justice class devel-
oped The Abbey Court Chronicle
to target the needs of children in
the mostly Latino community.
The students worked on the first
edition throughout the fall semes-
ter, and the six-page product was
available in December.
Newspaper designer Evan Bell
said part of Blau’s course was explor-
ing the United Nations’ Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
Bell said after learning about the
article in class, she and her class-
mates were able to apply the ide-
ologies to the real world by offering
a vehicle of communication for the
community members.
“It’s a human right to have free-
dom of expression, and we took that
as the background for the paper,”
Bell said. “It’s maybe not the nicest
place, but (Abbey Court) is a won-
derful place where wonderful people
exist who are doing great things.”
Abbey Court Chronicle writer
Ben Knoedler said though the news-
paper was mostly geared toward the
children, his article on fair trade was
intended for parents.
Knoedler said he wrote the arti-
cle because Blau emphasized the
topic in class, and he wanted to
take what he learned in the class-
room and apply it to his service
project.
Knoedler said he and his class-
mates also wanted to focus on the
children of the community because
they wanted to inspire them.
“One of the reasons why we were
doing it for the kids was to express
our gratitude for giving us the
opportunity to work with them,”
said Knoedler.
Emilee Bunker, another writer
for the newspaper, said she liked
the opportunity to give a com-
munity that doesn’t normally get
much attention a chance to be
represented.
“Sometimes, there are so many
service projects that we overlook

people who are right around the
corner,” Bunker said.
Blau’s students are required to
participate in one of 26 different
projects throughout the semester
that mostly revolve around the
neighborhood.
Blau, who runs the Human
Rights Center of Chapel Hill and
Carrboro out of two Abbey Court
apartments, said she chose to focus
efforts on the community because
she wanted to foster participation
and involvement in its culture.
Blau said she hopes the news-
paper can be continued by future
students as well as Abbey Court
residents. Eventually she would
like the newspaper to reach the
larger Latino community.
“As parents, we know that the
real changes come from our young-
sters,” she said. “If this becomes
part of the fabric of Abbey Court,
the residents will be invited to
contribute to it. We want them to
be empowered so that they take
charge of their lives.”

Cedar Ridge replaces UNC gets grant from NFL to study concussions
its athletic director Funding will help
to build database
By Sarah Glen
Assistant city editor
After suspending an athletic
director and head basketball coach
after a personnel investigation,
Cedar Ridge High School has filled
the positions left empty.
Cedar Ridge Principal John
Wheeler selected Andy Simmons to
be the school’s new athletic director
after previously serving as assistant
athletic director under Jim Pappas,
the former director and basketball
coach.
Pappas was suspended with pay
Nov. 9 after an incident with a stu-
dent school officials cannot com-
ment on.
Along with losing his positions
as athletic director and basketball
coach, Orange County Schools
spokesman Michael Gilbert said
Pappas’ teaching post was switched
from a 12-month to a 10-month
position.
According to a press release from
the school district, Pappas will lose
$28,000 in pay annually because
of his change in position.
Wheeler said he chose Simmons
because he is dependable and is
willing to work with other coach-
es.
“Simmons has a long list of great
qualities and knows a lot about the
school,” Wheeler said.
Wheeler also picked science
teacher Fred Blanks to become the
new head basketball coach. Blanks
is the school’s assistant baseball
coach. He served as a basketball
coach at other schools in the past.
“He’s been there, done that, so
his experience will be really good
for the team,” Wheeler said.
Orange High School Varsity
Basketball Coach Greg Motley said
Cedar Ridge, his team’s main rival,
had to postpone at least six games
due to the district’s investigation of
Pappas.
The Orange Panthers and the
Cedar Ridge Red Wolves are sched-
uled to play each other at 3 p.m.
Saturday at Orange High School.
Motley said this will be Cedar
Ridge’s seventh game without
Pappas as head coach.
“I think getting a new coach
at this point in the season would
be extremely tough for the kids,”
Motley said.
Before working at Cedar Ridge,
Blanks was Motley’s assistant
coach at Orange High for about
two years.
Pappas was hired by Orange
County Schools in November
2001 and has held various posi-
tions within the district including
athletic director, basketball coach
and physical education teacher.
If Wheeler approves it, Pappas
can volunteer to assist the basket-
ball team.

Baddour said in an e-mail his
ruling was case-specific and would
not have immediate statewide
effect.
He also said that the charge is
one rarely seen in the Superior
Court.
Woodall said the approach of
Elabanjo’s defense in emphasizing
constitutional rights played a role
in the different rulings.
“Her lawyers conceded that she
was acting inappropriately,” he said
of the trial in July.
Woodall, like Quinn, said he
could not provide specific examples
of profane words.
“There’s been debate from the
public that the First Amendment
protects freedom of political speech
and not profanity, and that the
ban is enacted to keep the peace,”
Quinn said.
Elabanjo said she is pleased with
the ruling and happy with the out-
come of the appeal.
She said she was provoked by the
police officers and should not have
been arrested for her behavior.
“The police just need to let us
be,” Elabanjo said.
