Assistant State & National Editor
New academic standards at N.C.
Central University have put more
than 500 students in jeopardy of
being kicked out of school.
As many as 519 students at the
university are on a warning list
because they do not have a 1.9 GPA.
The new requirement is part of an
incremental policy to help improve
the school’s academic standing.
Students are expected to main-
tain a 1.9 GPA instead of a 1.7 GPA
to continue enrolling in classes. And
starting in the fall of 2011, they will
have to maintain a 2.0 GPA — the
same requirements that a student
must already have to graduate.
“They have to have a 2.0 for
graduation,” said Bernice Duffy
Johnson, dean of the University
College at NCCU. “If students are
not anywhere near that, we look at it
as being a waste of somebody’s time
and money for letting them linger
until they do have the grade.”
to continue enrolling in courses
even if they weren’t up to gradu-
ation standards, and also put stu-
dents at risk for losing financial aid
opportunities, Johnson said.
“It’s about equity and fairness to
the students,” she said. “Students
have to earn hours in 67 percent
for them to be eligible for financial
aid.”
At its meeting last week, the
UNC-system Board of Governors
mentioned looking into decreas-
ing enrollment for the 2012-13
academic year as a possible solu-
tion to cope with the consistent
decreases in state funding. But
university administrators said the
reason for the crackdown on GPA
requirements was not budget-
related.
At UNC-CH, students are expect-
ed to remain in “good standing,” by
maintaining a 2.0 GPA to enroll in
classes for the next semester.
NCCU’s new requirements were
announced to students in December
by Chancellor Charlie Nelms.
“Many of the students who were
on that list were first semester
freshmen, who if they take a cou-
ple of summer courses will be well
beyond the 2.0,” Johnson said.
Johnson said the school ’s
expectations of incoming stu-
dents is actually higher than its
policy.
“We expect them to do a 3.0,” she
said. “They are expected to perform
at a B average, and one of the rea-
sons why I tell them that is because

forward Jessica Breland had just
two points.
The 6-foot-3 forward’s rare
underwhelming performance
might have been her last showing as
a Tar Heel, but it won’t be the final
game of her basketball career.
In Monday’s WNBA Draft,
Breland was selected 13th over-
all by the Minnesota Lynx before
being traded to the New York
Liberty. UNC guard Italee Lucas
was selected by the Tulsa Shock as
the 21st overall pick.
Coach Sylvia Hatchell was over-
joyed with how it turned out.
“Our style of play, the WNBA
loves it,” Hatchell said. “The most
important thing is not the number
they go, but the fit. I think for both
of them it’s a good fit.”
Breland, who finished the 2010-

and rebounding, was one of 15
players invited to Monday’s draft
at ESPN’s headquarters.

space to the area. The project
would join a list of new mixed-use
ventures in the area that includes
Greenbridge, 140 West Franklin
and Rosemary Village.
“The council has been eager
to help the downtown by getting
people to live there,” said Mayor
Mark Kleinschmidt. “We think
that ultimately that has the benefit
of making the place safer.
“It makes that lively downtown
everybody is hungry for.”
If the project is approved, an
office building and the Rosemary
Apartments on Rosemary Street,
which are owned by the developer
Larry Short, would be demol-
ished.
Short said he has owned the
land for nearly 30 years, and he
hopes to see the project approved
in October or November and to
break ground in early 2012.
The six-story building would
include two- and four-bedroom
apartments ranging from 800
square feet to 1,700 square feet,
according to the building plan.
“We’re going to rent to anybody,”
Short said. “I hope to get students
as well as working people.”
The development would also
increase the available parking
from 151 parking spots to 171
spaces, including an underground
garage and designated parking for
retail across the street.

Pat Pukkila, director of the

School board streams Students can opt in to

meetings live online new email service today
New software to save time, money
by Mary Choi
staff writer
Although facing budget cuts
in the near future, Chapel Hill-
Carrboro City Schools is still mak-
ing transparency a priority.
The district contracted with
Granicus, a software and hard-
ware provider based in California,
to begin streaming district Board
of Education mee tings this
month.
With an initial investment of
$7,045, the service will cost the
district $13,200 per year.
Stephanie Knott, the district’s
spokeswoman, said the district
contracted with Granicus to
increase accessibility of school
board meetings in the perspective
of important budget cuts.
Knott said the system will also
save staff time posting meeting
minutes.
She said the district has not yet
used other tools the service offers
like those that show how many
people are viewing the videos.
A Dec. 15 proposal from
Granicus states the service will
save the district about 19 hours of
work per meeting and $10,600 per
year after the first year of use.
Scott Latimore, the district’s
web architect, said the service is
cost effective because it plays a
vital role in keeping the public
informed.
“We’ve all sort of come to expect
this kind of delivery of content
from the Web, so I do feel like it
increases transparency,” he said.
Latimore said one of the benefits
of using the system is having access
to a full archive of meetings.
The new system integrates
videos and agendas so audience
members can view them simulta-
neously.
A viewer can click on an agenda
item of interest, and the video will
jump to that point in the meet-
ing.
“Before, you had to go to the
website and listen to the entire
thing until you could get the par-
ticular agenda item you wanted
to see,” said Jamezetta Bedford,
school board chairwoman.
Before using Granicus, locals
who did not attend school board
meetings only had two ways of
viewing them — live on Chapel Hill
TV 18 or a rerun on the Peoples
Channel.
Knott said these options posed
a problem because more than 50
percent of the district’s staff mem-
bers don’t live in Chapel Hill or
Carrboro.
Knott said the new system
allows her to index videos rather
than taking detailed notes, which
she said consumed time and
money.
There is a function that exports
the notes she takes during the
meeting into a Microsoft Word

ular agenda item.”

document that can be made avail-
able for use, she said.
Knott said the district consid-
ered other live streaming programs
but chose Granicus because it’s
designed specifically for govern-
ments.
The Chapel Hill Town Council
also uses the company to stream
footage of its meetings.
“I appreciate it because
sometimes you need to go back
and clarify what is said, so for
board members themselves it’s
a good tool,” School Board Vice
Chair woman Mia Burroughs
said.

HeelMail o≠ers
storage, calendar
By Chelsea Bailey
Staff writer
Starting today, students will
be able to opt in to HeelMail, the
University’s new email interface,
sponsored by Windows Live.
The service, provided free to
the University by Microsoft, fea-
tures more storage, collaboration
tools and a calender feature that
will allow students to share events
and request meetings with profes-
sors and faculty members.
Students can sign up by visiting
unc.edu/heelmail.
Most of the service’s features
will become available immediately
to students who opt in. New users
will receive a new email address
with the student’s Onyen followed
by “@live.unc.edu.” Emails sent to
old Webmail addresses will be for-
warded to the new account.
But document, calendar and
task sharing services will not be
available until May at the earliest,
administrators said.
HeelMail is expected to com-
pletely replace Webmail no later
than this fall, and administrators
said the transition will be smooth.
“I don’t see a downside on this
frankly. It’s simply a transition,”
said Mike Barker, chief technology
officer for Information Technology
Services.
Max Beckman-Harned, stu-
dent government’s technology co-
chairman, said that after working
on the project, he is excited to see
how students respond to it.
“We’ve put a lot of effort into
making sure that it is compatible
with multiple systems,” he said.
“It’s a better system and because
Microsoft upgrades their programs
frequently, as time goes on it will
get better and better.”
This month, student govern-
ment will host events to acquaint
students with the new email sys-
tem. The sessions will also offer
chances to win Microsoft products,
including an Xbox.
Larry Conrad, vice chancellor
for ITS, said students were the
driving force behind the decision
to upgrade to a different service.
“The service we’ve been provid-
ing was okay, but it wasn’t stellar,”
Conrad said.
“It was really about how we
could find the right service that
provides the best combination of
features for students.”
Faculty already use a version of
Microsoft Exchange that is compat-
ible with HeelMail, Barker said.
Conrad said that ITS chose the
Microsoft program because it has
fewer compatibility issues and it
integrates well with smartphones.
But not every student will be eli-
gible to use HeelMail — at least in
its original form.
Students who have access to pri-
vate medical information will not
be able to sign up for an account
because Microsoft and ITS cannot
guarantee the protection of medi-
cal information.
Those students will use a local
UNC exchange system, similar to
HeelMail but with more protection.
Barker said benefits of the pro-
gram outweigh inevitable hiccups.
“As with any new program, we’re
going to encounter some prob-
lems,” he said.
“I don’t think there will be a
steep learning curve.”

He’s found them as far away as
Norway and as local as the UNC
soccer fields. He’s even discovered
them down the road in Durham and
then taken them to West Africa.
When Gorham “Hap” Kindem
goes looking for the next subject
of one of his award-winning docu-
mentaries, he doesn’t always know
where it’ll be.
The subject of his newest project,
for instance, came from a Norwegian
paraplegic skiing competition.
Kindem, a professor of commu-
nications studies, has made about a
dozen documentaries since 1987.
His latest work, “More Than
Meets the Eye,” focuses on Anne-
Mette Bredahl — a blind skier —
and her journey to the Vancouver
Paralympics in 2010.
The film will be screened on
campus on May 4, featuring a
question-and-answer session with
Kindem and a speaker from the
Foundation Fighting Blindness.
It has also been selected for
screening at the Boston International
Film Festival on April 18.
“It isn’t my first film, but what
makes it meaningful to me is I
think it might be used to help raise
money for blindness research,”
Kindem said.
Bredahl said she hopes viewers
can learn from her experiences.
“I found it could be used to show
people how disabled people can
have a rich life, with ups and downs,
but also show how physical activ-
ity can be important in managing
everyday life challenges,” she wrote
in an email. “It is not just about fit-
ness and winning medals.”
Kindem’s first documentary,
1987’s “Chuck Davis, Dancing
Through West Africa,” followed
Davis through Senegal and Gambia
exploring the roots of African dance.

UNC professor Hap Kindem’s new film, “More Than Meets the Eye,”
will be screened at the Boston International Film Festival on April 18.
The film was shown on PBS and the
Discovery Channel and won a presti-
gious CINE Golden Eagle award.
“He gave all this energy and sup-
port without ever raising his voice,
and he was always right there,”
Davis said. “After the first couple of
hours I said, as a director myself,
‘This man knows what he’s doing;
whatever he says I’ll do.’”
Kindem’s documentaries focus
on characters with a local or global
impact.
“Sometimes the encounter or
finding a subject that you find really
compelling might be by chance, but
what follows after is not,” he said.
“If it has strong characters and
strong stories and if it can serve its
social purpose, it makes me very
happy,” he added.
Kindem’s 2009 documentary
on the UNC women’s soccer team,
“Winning Isn’t Everything,” played
on the Fox Soccer Channel and
received the Accolade Film Award.

said he agreed to work with
Kindem after admiring a music
video he filmed for Carolina for
Kibera using footage of the team.
“When he approached us about
doing the documentary I was in
with both feet,” Dorrance said, add-
ing that the film has become a use-
ful recruiting tool for the program.
Bob Dylan even donated four
songs to Kindem’s “Beyond The
Wall,” about UNC’s infamous 1960s
speaker ban.
But in addition to celebrities,
Kindem also involves his students.
Amanda Younger, a senior jour-
nalism major, worked with Kindem
on “More Than Meets the Eye,” add-
ing effects to simulate blindness.
“I hope I’ll get to have the chance
to work on more documentaries
and come up with new ideas to use
graphics and integrating them into
film,” she said.
Kindem said attitudes like that
are why he involves his students.
“I see my documentary filmmak-
ing as directly connected to my
teaching,” he said. “In terms of the
experiences I retain and the lessons
I learn, I bring that back into the
classrooms.”

Libyan rebels to keep fighting Romney to explore

Call for end of
Gadhafi regime
BENGHAZI, Libya (MCT)
— Libyan rebels delivered an
emphatic “no” to an African Union
proposal for an end to fighting
in their country, insisting that
Moammar Gadhafi must step
down from power as part of any
diplomatic solution.
T h e o p p o s i t i o n c o u n c i l ’s
announcement after closed-door
talks with an African Union del-
egation in the rebel-held city of
Benghazi quashed hopes for an
early end to the nearly 2-month-
old conflict between Gadhafi’s
forces and opposition fighters in
eastern Libya.
South African President Jacob
Zuma said late Sunday after
meeting with Gadhafi in Tripoli,
the capital, that Libya’s leader
had endorsed the African Union’s
roadmap for peace.
The proposal includes a cease-
fire, the establishment of safe cor-
ridors for the delivery of humani-
tarian aid and a dialogue on
reforming Libya’s political system,
which Gadhafi has ruled for more
than four decades.
Zuma’s comments hinted at a
possible diplomatic opening for
ending Libya’s stalemate, but the
head of the opposition’s political
council Mustafa Abdul Jalil sum-
marily dismissed the proposal
after the closed-door talks with the
African Union delegation.
“The African Union initiative
does not include the departure
of Gadhafi and his sons from the
Libyan political scene, therefore
it is outdated,” Jalil said. “We will
not negotiate on the blood of our
martyrs. We will die with them or
be victorious.”
bid for president
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) —
Mitt Romney is taking the first step
toward a full-blown presidential
campaign, announcing Monday
the formation of an exploratory
committee that is likely the pre-
cursor to his second White House
run.
Romney’s announcement came
after an unannounced visit to the
University of New Hampshire,
where he says he spoke with stu-
dents about the economy.
“From my vantage point in busi-
ness and in government, I have
become convinced that America
has been put on a dangerous course
by Washington politicians, and it
has become even worse during the
last two years. But I am also con-
vinced that with able leadership,
America’s best days are still ahead,”
Romney said.
Romney also tested a theme for
his would-be campaign, saying: “I
believe in America.” It’s a subtle
response to Barack Obama’s 2008
campaign message of, “Change you
can believe in.” It was also the sub-
title of his revised 2010 book, “No
Apology.”
In his announcement, Romney
MCT/ Luis Sinco also mentioned a trip to Nevada,

Massachusetts’ governor, five years
ago this week.
“When I served as governor of
Massachusetts, I used the skills I
had learned in 25 years in busi-
ness to streamline state govern-
ment, balance the budget every
year and restore a $2 billion
rainy-day fund,” he says of his
one term.
Democrats have gleefully
pointed to the fact that Romney’s
plan, like the one Obama signed,
included a mandate that all of the
Bay State’s citizens have health
insurance.
Ahead of the anniversary of
Romney signing the law, Democrats
in New Hampshire plan a news
conference to “thank Romney for
providing the critical momentum
necessary to get President Obama’s
vision of health reform through
Congress and signed into law.”
“It’s obvious that Gov. Romney
... (is) going to have to confront the
issue of the Massachusetts health
care issue,” Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz., the party’s 2008 nominee,
told reporters last week.
Romney joins former Minnesota
Gov. Tim Pawlenty as the two most
prominent Republicans to form
exploratory committees. Former
House Speaker Newt Gingrich is
also raising money under federal
limits as he considers a White
House run.
Romney won 11 nominating
contests in his 2008 run, most
notably Nevada’s caucuses and the
Michigan primary.
He has remained politically
active through his Free & Strong
America PAC, supporting local
and statewide candidates he will
be courting again in his next cam-
paign.

House Republicans to
seek spending limits
CHICAGO (MC T) — T he
chairman of the House Budget
Committee who penned a com-
prehensive and controversial def-
icit reduction plan said Monday
that House Republicans will seek
statutory spending limits and cuts
in exchange for supporting an
increase in the debt ceiling.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., also
said it would be “fantastic” if
reform of any of the nation’s
social entitlement programs such
as Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid also became part of the
debt-ceiling debate.
With an 11th-hour congres-
sional agreement with the White
House on a budget plan for the
next six months, the issue of
raising the debt ceiling looms
as the next controversy between
Republicans who control the
House and Democrats who lead
the Senate and the presidency.
Ryan, who appeared before
the Chicago Tribune’s editorial
board, is the author of “The Path
to Prosperity,” a budget plan for
the next federal fiscal year that
Democrats have chastised as
rewarding wealthy taxpayers with
tax cuts while vastly altering the
Medicare program for seniors and
Medicaid for the poor.
Ryan defended his plan, saying
health care entitlements are not
sustainable in their current form.
He would transform Medicare
into a subsidized form of care
relying on market forces in the
health care industry.
Medicaid would largely become
a block grant program that the
states would run.
David Plouffe, senior adviser in
the Obama administration, said
on Sunday talk shows that Ryan’s
plan had no chance of becoming
law this year. Ryan, however, said
his budget plan was an attempt to
be honest with the public about
out-of-control spending.
“Everyone tells me that I’m giv-
ing our political adversaries this
massive political weapon to use
in the next campaign. Yeah, we
are. But you know if you don’t
start fixing these things ...” Ryan
said. He credited a large class of
GOP freshmen, propelled by the
tea party movement, for helping
launch his budget plan.
“These are cause people, not
career people. They didn’t come
to Washington fearing a political
ad. They had (the ads) running
against them already,” said Ryan,
in his 13th year in Congress. “I
don’t think they care if they lose.”
Ryan said he personally
would like to see most income-
tax deductions for such popular
items as home mortgage interest
and charitable deductions elimi-
nated in favor of lower tax rates
and larger individual and family
deductions.
Still, he said, he would be open
to a 10-year window that allowed
taxpayers to take advantage of cur-
rent deductions or the tax-reform
system he is proposing.
With Obama scheduled on
Wednesday to issue a speech on
deficit reduction, Ryan said he
awaits the details but does not
favor plans that would increase
the tax rate on wealthy individu-
als.
With the need to raise the
nation’s debt ceiling shortly
beyond its $14.3 trillion limit,
Ryan said cuts and caps are key.

W
e’ve all heard the
phrase: “Sir, how about
sparing some change?”
Those words often make people
clutch their purses and ignore the
jangling quarters in their pock-
ets. We know the faces, the same
characters we see day in and day
out, peddling for small cash on
Franklin Street. We all feel sorry,
certainly, but thank God we won’t
be in their shoes, right?
Chris Moran, executive direc-
tor of the Inter-Faith Council says
differently. “Honestly, people just
aren’t familiar with poverty, or
hunger or homelessness. They
don’t realize that they too could
find themselves in the same situa-
tion,” said Moran.
“I had two professional friends
who were doing fine, and then
months later they were using our
food pantry.”
A long-time fixture in the
Chapel Hill area, the IFC has
provided countless services to our
homeless and poor communi-
ties, including a local shelter (the
Community House), a food pantry
that serves 3,200 people and job
counseling services. These ser-
vices have benefitted hundreds.
These services helped give
Gary Harwell one last chance.
As Harwell says, the IFC was
“his last stop,” a turning point in
a life plagued with troubles and
addiction. He struggled with
alcoholism for 40 years, losing his
family and children, and eventu-
ally found himself dropped off at
the Community House, where, he
says, “something finally clicked.”
“I had used the bottle to hide
from pain and loss … now I’m
finding it much more rewarding to
carry on without that drink. I don’t
have to hide in the bottle anymore.”
Thanks to the IFC and
Alcoholics Anonymous, Harwell
is on a roll, sober now for 285
days straight, using his personal
method — “AA is simple: Just
don’t drink.”
He has also served as an inspi-
ration for others struggling with
addiction through his number one
love: writing. Each day, as he has
for more than 150 days, Harwell
writes what he calls “sober seeds,”
tiny inspirational messages for
those struggling with addiction.
They are simple, yet powerful, like:
“I am thankful for the freedom to
choose. Today I choose to be sober.”
Often confronted head-on
with his former vices, Harwell
relishes his new role as mentor,
the sober guide to those falling
down his former path.
“When I see people with their
active addictions, it only makes
me stronger, makes me want to
give back to others what was so
freely given to me. If I make a
difference in one person’s life, I’ll
know my life is done.”
And yet these same ser-
vices that have helped Harwell
advance are coming under fire.
According to Moran, recent
cuts in spending both at the state
and federal level are threatening
to severely limit various service
programs like the IFC, in addi-
tion to charity care for hospitals.
Those patrons who frequent shel-
ters, who are often ostracized by
mental health facilities and hos-
pitals, will find themselves even
more limited in terms of support.
That, coupled with a severe
lack of affordable housing in the
area, is sure to leave both home-
less individuals and low-income
families in dire straits.
So the next time you walk down
Franklin, know that there are
people like Harwell — waiting for
someone to make a difference in
their lives.

Diverting driving dollars
Lowering travel reimbursements should be the
first step to increased campus investment
T
he Association for
Student Governments
has reduced its travel
reimbursements.
ASG chose a perfect place
to make cuts — transportation
costs are low-hanging fruit in
the organization’s budget and
these cuts will reduce its travel
costs by 41 percent.
ASG, which is funded
through a $1 fee from every
UNC-system student, origi-
nally paid its delegates 51 cents
for every mile traveled to each
meeting — this has now been
reduced to 30 cents per mile.
The organization should try
to go even further in an effort
to reduce its operating costs as
much as possible. Neither ASG
President Atul Bhula nor Chief
Finance Officer Thomas Lamm
were sure if they could legally
reduce the reimbursement
New incentives

O
range County’s nascent
business incentives
program is an impor-
tant step toward ensuring that
the area remains competitive in
this difficult economic climate.
Without such incentives, it
could lose out on business ven-
tures that would both stimulate
the local economy and broaden
the county’s tax base.
Such incentives are crucial
to allowing Orange County to
compete with nearby areas.
Chapel Hill has lost business
to places like Raleigh and Cary,
which were more appealing to
businesses than Chapel Hill.

Part two for sales tax
Putting sales tax increase on the ballot the right choice
C
ome November, Orange
County residents will
have a second oppor-
tunity to vote for or against a
quarter-cent increase in county
sales tax.
This same referendum was
on the ballot in November
2010, and voters rejected it by
a margin of 51 to 49 percent.
The county made the right
decision to put the tax to a vote
again. Voters should cast their
ballots in favor of the sales tax
increase this time around.
With tax increases needed
to lessen budget shortfalls
anyway, a consumption-based
sales tax is more desirable than
a property tax increase.
Orange County property
taxes are sixth highest in the
state and are already onerous

rate lower than it currently is.
But Bhula said the matter was
being researched and is under
consideration.
The IRS recommends 14
cents per mile for charitable
organizations. ASG could seri-
ously cut down on expenses if
it adopted this rate.
With the added cost of gas-
oline, we hope members will
make the meetings they’re pay-
ing to attend more productive.
The organization has already
failed to make quorum once
this year, and lowered mileage
reimbursement rates will not
be an acceptable excuse for any
more meetings in which noth-
ing can happen.
Of course, ASG gets one dol-
lar from every student whether
or not the organization cuts
costs. That doesn’t mean the
money can’t be put to good

This comes at a time when
a difficult economy has only
made areas in need of improve-
ment more obvious.
Perhaps Orange County
could have afforded to take a
more laissez-faire approach
to attracting businesses in the
past, but competition is more
cutthroat now.
As County Manager Frank
Clifton put it, “The downturn
in the economy has opened our
eyes and made us see that we
need to be more proactive.”
Furthermore, such an incen-
tive would likely widen the
array of retail options in Chapel
Hill, an area in which it is eas-
ily outstripped by surrounding
counties.
In turn, this potential
increase in retail would be a
enough.
If approved, the sales tax
increase would generate
around $2.3 million dollars in
much-needed county revenue.
Thursday’s Orange County
Board of Commissioners
meeting outlined how addi-
tional revenues would be allo-
cated. Commissioners intend
to allocate about two-thirds
of the revenue to water and
sewage infrastructure and the
remaining funds toward vari-
ous economic development
projects.
These economic develop-
ment projects are crucial for
the continued vitality of the
broader community.

increase is certainly not the most
enticing item to see on any ballot

use. We hope to see the saved
money — which should total
at least $2,000 — returned to
UNC campuses system-wide
for innovation grants that
enhance student life. These
grants are funded by surplus
funds left over from the previ-
ous fiscal year.
In the past, innovation
grants have funded programs
such as a SafeWalk expansion
here at UNC-CH.
Spending grant money wise-
ly has its own obstacles. One
$1,000 grant — the maximum
possible — went to a T-shirt
exchange at UNC-Greensboro,

puses deserve to see positive

which currently comes largely
from property taxes.
Such an increase in income
is an especially important con-
sideration in light of North
Carolina’s statewide budget
crisis. In the face of such dras-
tic cuts, any and all means of
increasing state revenue with-
out increasing tax rates should
be pursued.
Finally, an incentive pro-
gram will be particularly useful
if Chancellor Holden Thorp’s
Innovate@Carolina initiative
proves fruitful.

companies whose ideas and

with an upcoming election.
In 2010, a majority of the
rural voters in Orange County
were against the sales tax
increase.
The county must reach out
to these residents, as rural resi-
dents are equally likely to ben-
efit from a sales tax increase
and its impact on disposable
income is negligible.
The county should reach out
to residents through as many
avenues as possible, ensuring
that they all know what the tax
goes toward when they vote for
it or against it.
A countywide tax increase is
needed in one form or another.
Given the current tax struc-
ture, a consumption based tax
increase is more desirable than
a property tax increase.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Study is flawed; FBI stats
show recent crime down
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to Ms. Heide’s
letter (“Academic study shows
guns don’t decrease crime”,
April 11), I urge her to check
her facts. I have seen the 2003
study she references. It takes the
hard data of decreasing trends
in violent crime and then esti-
mates in the future that crime
will increase.
The fact is that their estimates
were plain wrong. I encourage
Heide to look at FBI crime sta-
tistics for the past few years. As
more states allow people to exer-
cise their Second Amendment
rights, violent crime has gone
down. The numbers provided
prove this — which is of more
value than arbitrary estimates
taking a decreasing trend and
magically turning it around.
So please check your facts, Ms.
Heide.
On to the next issue — an
armed gunman running free
around campus. Your poten-
tially fatal error, as well as Mr.
Scheidt’s (“Concealed weapons
not a defense in armed rob-
bery”, April 11) is to think the
best course of action is to leave
the decision of whether you live
or die to someone that has utter
disregard for the lives of others.
Twenty-four hours removed
from the time the gunman was
fleeing Morrison Residence Hall,
I was walking to my dorm — and
a lucky circumstance prevented
me from walking back the night
before, when the gunman would
have been fleeing.
We have seen what happens
when students are unable to
defend themselves. Just look
at the tragic murder of Eve
Carson.
I do not accept that I must
relinquish control of my life — I
want to have the ability to defend
myself.

‘Big business’ keeps ‘little
guy’ out of competition
TO THE EDITOR:
It is often said, especially on
campus, that we need regula-
tions to help keep big business
in check, so that it can’t exploit
the little guy.
But unfortunately, the power
of big business is often so per-
vasive that it uses government
regulations to keep the little guy
out of competition.
This is called “regulatory
capture,” and it happens all the
time.
Big business uses its resourc-
es to lobby the government and
pass regulations that add costs to
business, usually the cost of hir-
ing lawyers to help comply with
the regulations. These costs are
easy for the corporate giants to
swallow, but are prohibitive to
smaller businesses that can’t
afford them.

Administrators should plan
for fall of Davie Poplar
TO THE EDITOR:
The photo on page 7 of the
April 5 paper (“Timber!”) of
the downed holly tree was not
one of the hollies planted at the
turn of the century by Francis
LeClair.
According to Michael Dirr’s
handbook “Noble Grove —
A Walking Tour of Campus
Trees,” it is listed as “the ven-
erable tree on McCorkle Place
estimated to be more than 200
years old, possibly a remnant
of the original forest like the
Davie Poplar.”
Many of the original LeClair
hollies can be found around
campus, notably around Coker
and Mitchell halls. Sadly, the
major LeClair collection sur-
rounding the Alumni Building
on McCorkle Place was uprooted
during recent foundation water-
proofing and renovation to the
Alumni Building.
The sudden loss of this
ancient tree should serve as a
timely reminder of the fragility
of our historic campus landscape
and the need to prepare for the
eventual demise of the Davie
Poplar, which will probably hap-
pen without warning.
The Chancellor and admin-
istration ought to have con-
tingency plans in place for this
eventuality so that the void on
McCorkle Place could be filled
and that Davie is not just carted
off to the woodpile.

Hate crime sparks need for
alert response discussion
TO THE EDITOR:
Early last Monday morning,
an unidentified man assaulted a
UNC student on South Campus
because of his perceived sexual
orientation.
UNC’s GLBTSA is saddened
and shocked that such a crime
could occur and go unnoticed
on our campus.
In response to the attack, we
will hold a public forum with
University officials to discuss the
need for better communication
with the student body when hate
crimes occur and necessary sys-
temic changes to prevent future
attacks.
T he forum will be held
Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 8
p.m. in Gardner Hall, Room
105. We invite all concerned
University members to attend
and lend their support to the sur-
vivor and this important cause.
Additionally, we ask all mem-
bers of the Carolina family and
news media to consider the sur-
vivor’s privacy during the coming
weeks and act in a constructive
way that respects the individual
and the serious issue we must
face as a University regarding
hate crimes.
