The Universitys proposal to raise in-state tuition by 15.6 percent next year will likely pass through the budget, finance and audit committee of the Board of Trustees today. Students and administrators alike have said they are dissatisfied with the plan, but Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carney said he expects the proposal to be approved by the full board Thursday without changes. Sallie Shuping-Russell, trustee and chairwoman of the finance committee, said she will support the University-backed proposal. If it passes, the proposal will go before the UNC-system Board of Governors in February. But some students, angry and frustrated by the proposal, wont accept tuition increases lying down. Members of Students for a Democratic Society, some of whom protested the tuition and fee advisory task force meeting Monday, distributed flyers in the Pit on Tuesday in preparation for todays planned march to the committee meeting at the Carolina Inn. If approved, the Universitys plan would impose a $2,800 increase on in-state tuition during the next five years.
It would also increase tuition for out-of-state students by $1,622 next year for undergraduates and $1,460 for graduate students. Carney, who drafted the proposal, said this years tuition debate was unique because Cooper drafted a well-researched proposal. It has been unusual to see this particular format, he said. Carney said while Coopers proposal merited consideration, it wasnt received far enough in advance to be sufficiently deliberated. He said Coopers policy prioritized affordability rather than maintaining UNCs quality. I am not prepared to become just another state university and I dont think thats why students come here in the first place, he said. Senior Laurel Ashton, who attended Mondays meeting and will participate in todays march, said Carneys attitude highlights a disconnect between student priorities and administrators. I think the idea is theyre using the threat of losing all of our prestige against the students, she said. Though Coopers proposal which featured a 6.4 percent

Dollars in billions
Following a discussion today on how best to fill short-term funding gaps with tuition hikes, members of the Board of Trustees will focus their attention on the long-term financial health of the University. Between 2008 and 2009, the Chapel Hill Investment Funds value decreased 19.8 percent, from $2.22 billion to $1.78 billion. This fund makes up most of the Universitys endowment. In the last two fiscal years, the fund bounced back, and once again is $2.22 billion. Jon King, president and CEO of the UNC Management Co., which manages the fund, will give his annual report to the budget, finance and audit committee of the board today about the Universitys endowment. The endowment is made up of privately donated funds. Most donations are restricted to specific uses. The donated money is then invested, and the interest from the investment funds the endowments goals. The endowment focuses on the long-term growth of UNC, especially through funding scholarships and faculty positions. King said the percentage

of the total endowment made available each year for use by the school changes depending on economic circumstances. That percent bottomed out at 4.4 percent in 2008, and increased to 5.6 percent for the last fiscal year. King said his group invests the endowment conservatively compared to other universities. We tend to go down less in down markets and up less in up markets, he said. In fiscal (year) 2009, a lot of the Ivy League schools with very large endowments reported losses of 25 to 30 percent, and we lost 19.8 percent, he said. By contrast, the value of UNCs fund increased 14.4 percent from 2010 to 2011, while the University of Virginias endowment value increased 20 percent. During the tuition and fee advisory task force meeting on
Monday, students questioned Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carney about why UNC hasnt used endowment funds to make up for the losses in state funding. Dick Mann, vice chancellor for finance and administration, said this funding isnt as available as it seems, with the vast majority of it being donated for specific uses. Most of that is already budgeted for very specific things, he said. He added that private universities typically have more unrestricted private funds than public universities. Del Helton, associate director for donor relations in the College of Arts and Sciences, said the college has not considered dipping into its endowment.

An individual who robbed two women near UNC-Wilmingtons campus has not been caught, but university officials say there are no plans to change security policies in light of the incident. The armed robbery was reported Monday night by two women near campus, who were in their car when a man threatened them in the parking lot of
Hardees on South College Road. He reportedly ran toward campus at 11:58 p.m. after taking their cellphones and a wallet. The campus locked down immediately, and its alert system notified students and faculty of a dangerous and armed individual possibly on campus and advised all personnel to stay inside. Campus police and dogs searched for the man, but the lock down ended at 5:40 a.m. Tuesday with a warning to campus personnel to stay alert. Classes resumed as normal Tuesday despite the fact that the man had still not been apprehended by campus police. Cindy Lawson, assistant to
UNC-Ws chancellor, said theres no reason to believe that the suspect is still on campus. Administrators have no intention of changing the procedures for campus police, which focus on communication and the alert system, she said. When something like this is brought to our attention, we make sure we communicate through email, a banner on the web page, you know social media everything we have available, she said. UNC-W conducted a review of its campus alert system after it failed to notify students of a shooting at an apartment complex off campus in July.
Im disappointed by how it wrapped up, but I dont think anyones too concerned for their safety at this point.
Samuel Pisano,
Student body president at Unc-W
Administrators said at the time that the failure of UNC-Ws siren and text message notifications was a rare event and not due to a lack of testing. UNC-W campus police decided to extend existing safety policies to areas near campus after
the incident in July, Lawson said. The number of reported robberies at UNC-W has remained low during the past 3 years, while the number of reported burglaries or incidents involving stolen goods, not physical harm has increased. According to statistics from the UNC-W campus police, there was only one reported robbery between 2008 and 2010 but 105 reported burglaries. The Wilmington Police Department also assisted campus police in the investigation of the recent robbery. Lucy Crockett, public affairs officer for the chief of police, said the robbery occurred in a busy
location for the city. Unfortunately, South College Road is the main north-south artery, the main commercial road, so its not unusual to have robberies there, she said. Samuel Pisano, student body president at UNC-W, said he believes the campus response was appropriate even though the man involved in the robbery remains at large. I believe its a pretty standard, he said. Im disappointed by how it wrapped up, but I dont think anyones too concerned for their safety at this point.

Michael McAdoo, who is on the Baltimore Ravens roster, might appeal the judges decision to dismiss his lawsuit.
dth/moRgan mccloy Jason Osborne, a second-year graduate student, received a $20,000 fellowship from the Dedalus Foundation.
Jason Osborne almost lost $20,000 in his junk mail. On a whim two weeks ago, the secondyear master of fine arts student checked his junk mail before going to bed. In doing so, he discovered he had been awarded one of two annual fellowships from the Dedalus Foundation, a national group promoting the practice and research of modern art. The fellowship is awarded to two master of fine arts students a year and comes with a $20,000 stipend. I never check my junk mail, and when I saw it, I thought it was going to be a rejection letter, because you get way more rejections, he said. I had to read it like eight times. The fellowship is one of the most prestigious in the art world, said professor Elin OHara Slavick, who is Osbornes adviser. Its a stepping stone to the New York art world and other things, she said. Once you get something like this, people see this on your resume, and they know about you. Osborne, a painter, was nominated by UNC and sent in an online application
with recommendations, an artists statement and pictures of his work. He was then chosen by a panel from the Dedalus Foundation. Slavick says his work stands out because of its sense of humor about the art world. For example, a painting called My Studio Assistant Made This pokes fun at paintings that look rawly made. His work is beautiful and prophetic, but stupid and dumb and funny, and I mean that in a great way, she said. Hes using art to make a comment on the art world. Ashley Florence, also a second-year master of fine arts student, said Osborne is both dedicated and funny and its the combination that makes his work stand out. Hes in his studio all the time and he has a really distinct and vibrant relationship with his paintings and studio, she said. His sense of humor is encoded in his paintings. Jonathan Sherrill, another second-year masters student, said he was happy to see Osborne succeed. Its encouraging as his colleague to see him be awarded for what hes doing, he said. Osborne said he plans to use the money

to find studio space either in his hometown of Durham or in New York City, where he has had his work displayed in the past. It takes a lot of the pressure off about employment after finishing my degree, he said. In addition to helping his own career, Osbornes achievement will help bring national attention to UNCs studio art program, Slavick said. Its going to make people especially painters who didnt even consider UNC-Chapel Hill look at our program, she said. You look at the list of winners, and its New York, New York, and now, Chapel Hill.

Durham Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson dismissed former North Carolina defensive end Michael McAdoos lawsuit against the University and the NCAA Monday, effectively closing another chapter in UNCs ongoing football woes. But McAdoo might not be ready to stop fighting just yet. (McAdoo) and his family feel very strongly that students who are caught up in NCAA investigations such as the one that took place at Carolina dont have adequate protection with their rights, said Noah Huffstetler, an attorney representing McAdoo. The case was first brought up in July when McAdoo filed a lawsuit in Durham Superior Court, claiming that the NCAA made an erroneous decision in ruling him ineligible because it did not respect the UNC Honor Courts findings and did not heed precedence from similar cases. Huffstetler , who said that he believes McAdoo will seek to appeal the decision, added that several issues in the case, such as the use of the Instrument of Student Judicial Governance as a binding legal contract, have no precedent in North Carolina law. Should we take an appeal, which I believe we likely will, it would be determined for the first time by North Carolina appellate courts, Huffstetler said. He presented potential testimony from an agent Monday, claiming that had McAdoo been allowed to complete his collegiate career, he could be making more money in the NFL. In dismissing the lawsuit, however, Hudson agreed with attorneys representing the University and the NCAA that McAdoos decision to enter the NFL supplemental draft and
sign with the Baltimore Ravens rendered his claims moot. According to the Associated Press, Paul Sun, attorney for the NCAA, argued Monday that the court wouldnt be able to award speculative damages based on McAdoo failing to improve his draft position by missing his senior season. In order to appeal Hudsons decision, McAdoo would have to show that Hudson did not correctly apply the law in dismissing the lawsuit. Bernard Burk, a UNC law professor, said that might be a tall task for McAdoo. Mr. McAdoo did seem to be asserting some rights that dont exist, Burk said. Even if there were some legal right to play football here, its very hard to see how hes worse off today given whats actually happened. Burk said that McAdoo would have to rely on too much speculation about what may have happened his senior season to prove he would have been drafted. Given the fact that Mr. McAdoo gave up any right to play college ball, claiming he should be rewarded seems like trying to eat your cake and have it too. The best-case scenario for McAdoo now is that appellate judges will decide to allow his lawsuit to go to trial. But Burk said that may not come easy. His claims are just not very attractive legally. And leaving the legal issues aside, theyre just not very attractive practically or emotionally either, he said. For heavens sake, the guy has a contract to play with the Baltimore Ravens. Hes living the dream. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com. literacy will be attending the event in the hopes of identifying library resources that could help close the gap.

Chapel Hill now stands alone in the county in its strict regulation of food trucks. The Hillsborough Town Board unanimously passed an ordinance allowing food trucks at a Monday meeting after an unattended public hearing. And Chapel Hill could follow suit as early as Monday when the Chapel Hill Town Council votes on a similar ordinance. I think if we dont pass it, we will stand out like a sore thumb, said council member Penny Rich. The proposed ordinance, which would loosen restrictions on the use of food trucks, has sparked heated debate among
members of the Chapel Hill community for months. Chapel Hill looked at Carrboro for guidance when drafting its own ordinance. In Carrboro food trucks must operate from lots with an existing non-residential building and have plumbing and electrical connections in accordance with the state building code. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Ward said the council has had concerns about the health and safety standards of food trucks and the possible competition with brickand-mortar restaurants. Though most issues have been clarified, Ward said he worries the town will not see tax revenue generated by the trucks. Often these food trucks do not have their base in Orange County or Chapel Hill, he said. I would hesitate to allow them into the mix if theyre not going to be contributing. But Ward said he thinks the
Hillsborough ordinance will help in Chapel Hills debate. Knowing that other communities have found ways to satisfy their concerns ... indicates that I should give them the benefit of the doubt, Ward said. Rich said she doesnt think tax stream will be an issue as long as the town can revise the ordinance if problems occur. If we see something is not working or we find there is some sort of abuse, we just have to make sure we take care of it, she said.
Hillsboroughs plan
Margaret Hauth, planning director for Hillsborough, said the permits will be capped at 10 food trucks while the town experiments with the ordinance. Permits, which will cost $200, will be allotted on a first-come, first-serve basis and be available starting Jan. 1.
Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens said to level the playing field between food trucks and traditional restaurants, the trucks will not be allowed to operate inside the historic district, which includes Churton Street. But Hauth said the town still has concerns, including the effect of the food and beverage sales tax on the food trucks. The tax collects one percent from prepared food and beverages sold in the town. Commissioner Frances Dancy said Hillsborough originally looked into the addition of food trucks as a way to boost tourism. At the moment, she said the town has no plans to expand the program. Were in a test run right now, Dancy said. We have to see how its going to go. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

In the two days since Chapel Hill police raided the former Yates Motor Company building, Occupy Chapel Hill members say they have seen an increase in local support for their movement. The raid, which resulted in seven arrests of protestors who were associated with an anarchist movement known as occupy everywhere, coincided with a nationwide crackdown on protests affiliated with Occupy Wall Street. Nick Shepard, a member of Occupy Chapel Hill, emphasized that the actions of protestors on Sunday were not a collaborative effort between the his group and those affiliated with occupy everywhere. Occupy Chapel Hill has occupied the Peace and Justice Plaza since Oct. 15, advocating for economic equality through nonviolent tactics. Police in every city are cracking down on the movement in all its peaceful manifestations, Shepard said. Its prompted conversation of the direction of the movement, and thats obviously a big turning point. Occupy Wall Street protestors in New York City were ordered to vacate Zuccotti Park on Tuesday, as were other occupiers in several other major cities throughout the past week. Shepard said Sundays events, paired with the national protest raids, helped give the local occupation more legitimacy.

He made it his business to acquire the knowledge he needs to do his job well. Previous Chairwoman Linda Chewning, who resigned, said she would not have been able to leave her position if she did not have so much confidence in Hughes ability to lead the party. There was no other question about who should take over, she said. Hughes is one of many UNC students who have held important positions in local politics. Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton was elected to the Chapel Hill Town Council in 1991 as an undergraduate at UNC, and recent graduate Lee Storrow was elected to the council this year. Its very good to have a visible symbol of young people in politics, said Orange County Democratic Party Secretary Vicki Boyer.

He said the J. P. Harland Endowment Fund provides about $8,000 a year for graduate archeology students to travel to Europe, which is necessary for their education. But the endowment also attracts students to the department, he said. When graduate students apply to this department one of the questions they ask is, Is there money available for travel in the summer? he said. If I said no, we would not attract a lot of the good students that we do attract. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

want to improve the world. UNC Energy Management highlighted the fiscal benefits of investing in energy-efficient facilities, saying that $10 million in utility costs have been saved to date. To remind students of their environmental impact, the Energy Dashboard was set up to show campus buildings energy usage on an annual, monthly and weekly basis. The renewable energy special projects committee, the environmental branch of Student Congress, receives $4 per semester per student totaling $200,000 per year in student fees to fund University projects. Their most recent project was the installation of geothermal wells at the N.C. Botanical Garden. Since the groups establishment, it has received more than $1.2 million for eco-friendly projects. Committee Co-Chairwoman Erin Hiatt said these investments are an efficient use of student funds.
We use our money for a very specific purpose, and we know our student body supports it because of our referendums. EcoReps, a new offshoot of the committee, focuses on outreach and education. It aims to give tours of the Universitys high-performance sustainable buildings. The installation of solar panels and Energy Star appliances at Morrison Residence Hall, the environmentally friendly roof of the Fedex Global Center and the LED lights of Rams Head are among the highlights of the groups proposed tours. EcoReps Co-Coordinator Nick Montoni said students must be conscious of sustainability in order preserve our way of life for future generations. We need to think about the fact that we have limited resources and increased economic demand. Contact the University Editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

strength of the conference, since the Eagles were the No. 7 seed in last weekends ACC tournament. Urso believes that the strength of the ACC is one of the best arguments for why the Tar Heels deserved the top seed in the NCAA tournament. The ACC is a tough conference, he said. Weve played a lot of tough opponents this year and weve had a really good record Also winning the regular season, I think thats one of the toughest things to do in this country. Connecticut and Creighton also received top-four seeds, and the Jays have a face with which many at UNC are quite familiar. Elmar Bolowich, who coached at UNC for 22 years and helped the Tar Heels earn their first national title, is in his first year as head coach at Creighton. But seeing their old leader on the other side of the field isnt going to distract the Tar Heels from their No. 1 goal. Obviously I know Elmar and its good to hear that theyre doing well, Urso said. But like I said before, were just focused on Sunday ... Well keep going and if we cross paths, thatll be exciting. When Coastal Carolina plays Elon on Thursday, the Chanticleers will showcase the nations most prolific offense, having scored 60 goals this season. UNC coach Carlos Somoano knows Elon can be dangerous, too. These are two very good teams, Somoano said. Coastal is exceptional and Elon They have been a little bit unlucky in getting results, but its no surprise to me that they got in the tournament. Being the top seed comes with the privilege of playing each game until the national semifinals at home. This years College Cup, where UNC could make its fourth straight appearance, will be Dec. 9 and 11 in Hoover, Ala. Its awesome anytime youre a No. 1 seed. It means home field advantage, Urso said. That was important for us. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

James Brown proved that history played a role in popular music. Known as the creator of funk, the late Brown brought African history into his work and influenced modern music. Carolina Performing Arts is hosting a tribute to the historic Brown tonight, led by saxophonist and composer Pee Wee Ellis, who was a part of Browns band in the 1960s. For the touring event Still Black, Still Proud, Ellis will be joined by Vusi Mahlasela, Cheikh Lo and Maceo Parker, who played the saxophone with Brown. Ellen James, marketing manager for the executive office for the arts, said audience members not of Browns generation will rec-
ognize phrases and rhythms in his songs from current music. I dont think they need a history lesson to make the connection, James said. Fatimah Jackson, a UNC anthropology professor who lived in Africa during the 1970s, said history played a significant role in Browns music. James Brown really tapped into African-American rhythms that had their roots in Africa, she said. She said Browns lyrics symbolized the struggles of not only
Africans in the late 70s, but of all humankind. Its timeless music because it does resonate with the human spirit. David Pier, a professor in African and African-American studies, said Brown created a new platform on which to build music that continued past his career. He was innovative in stripping popular music down to a very basic, compelling groove, he said. Its hard to consider how we could have had hip-hop, techno, other dance music. Browns influence shows that his work is not outdated. They might think, Thats parents music or grandparents music, James said. But if you hear it today, its so much fun. Ellis and the band will be playing mostly Browns music, though through their own interpreta-
tions, James said. Jackson said that, because Ellis and Parker worked with Brown so closely, the two will know what he wanted and expected from a performance. Chris Reali, a musicology graduate student, reiterated the pairs role in Browns music. He and Parker, they were responsible for James Browns sound, he said. James said shes noticed ticketholders look forward to the atmosphere of the show. People who want to come want to experience the energy of the music, James said. If you dont want to get up and dance while listening to this music, there is something wrong with you. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

Emily Palmer received so many rejection letters from publishing companies that she started to lose count. I dont know how many query letters I sent out, but there were a lot, Palmer, a UNC sophomore, said. But instead of giving up, Palmer decided to take matters into her own hands. She selfpublished her first novel, The Gingerbread Philosophy, in August 2011. She will read from the novel Thursday in Bulls Head Bookshop. With the guidance of Stuart
I dont know how many query letters I sent out, but there were a lot.
emily Palmer,
UNC sophomore who self-published her novel, The Gingerbread Philosophy
Albright, her former creative writing teacher at Jordan High School in Durham, Palmer selfpublished her work through McKinnon Press. Albright is both the founder and president of the publishing company, which has published 28 class anthologies and 19 student novels. He said he attributes his motivation in starting the company to his teaching and writing careers. I started the company to
publish my own work, and after I started teaching creative writing I thought it would be a great vehicle to publish student work, he said. Palmer said self-publishing allowed her novel to be available to an audience outside those close to her. The Gingerbread Philosophy can be found on lulu.com, an online book retailer. It was cool to see that the first comment (on the site) had
come from a stranger and not someone that I already knew, Palmer said. She said she did the bulk of her writing as a senior at Jordan High when she took an independent study class. Thats when I finally immersed myself in the voice of my narrator, she said. Palmer, who has family from North Carolina and Mississippi, said the novels inspiration was her love of her Southern heritage.
The plot centers on a psychiatrist living in New York who returns to her native Mississippi after a family tragedy, Palmer said. The main lesson from the novel is that you cant just run away and start a new life, you have to learn from your roots, she said. Since Palmer is not represented by an agent, she promotes her novel herself. I have had to order copies and physically take them over to stores, said Palmer. Palmer said she has sold a total 39 hard copies at $16 apiece. The e-book is also available to download for free. It was Palmer who first
approached Bulls Head to do a reading of her novel, said Kyle McKay, the stores marketing manager. He said that the store is always open to having members of the UNC community read. We are here to serve the University and embrace its literary talent, he said. McKay said the store rarely hosts student authors. We dont get a lot of students whove published, he said. It really makes a difference for an author who holds an event for people to come out. It gives them encouragement. Contact the Arts Editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

The move was long expected but given fresh impetus by the success of a recent union-friendly referendum in Ohio. It also raises the possibility that voters in this critical swing state will be casting a test vote on the nations political mood just months before next years presidential balloting. Volunteers who have kept a vigil in front of the statehouse since summer returned Tuesday to gather signatures for real. Among the hundreds who signed was Ben Rogall, an animator from Madison taking his two young children to a nearby museum. What are these people doing here? asked 4-year-old Bjorn, who was wearing a knit cap with an eagle beak on the top. You see, we have a really bad governor, Rogall explained to his son. Walker has been a lightning rod since taking office early this year. He moved quickly with the help of a Republican-dominated legislature to curb collective bargaining rights and benefits for public employees and trimmed state school spending. Walker said the actions were needed to resolve a budget crisis, but critics accused him of trying to break unions and carry water for wealthy conservative ideologues.
over the countrys soon-to-be elected Parliament. The proposals on the drafting of a new constitution have caused a nationwide uproar. They include articles that would guarantee the secrecy of the militarys budget and grant the ruling Supreme Council of Armed Forces the right to choose 80 percent of the constitutional committees members, as well as the right to veto any articles before the document goes to a national referendum. The proposals would allow the military to become guardian of the constitution, fueling fears that the military council, which has ruled the country since the overthrow of President Hosni Mubarak in February, is plotting to have a bigger political role. The articles have infuriated liberals and Islamists alike and have increased tensions leading up to the first round of parliamentary elections, which begin Nov. 28.

eadership. Confidence. Respect. Control. These are some of the values that martial arts can give its students. Theyre also the values that are considered lacking in the lives of the so called at-risk youth, values that one local martial arts program noticed as missing and decided to fill. Ligo Dojo of Budo Karate, with locations in Durham and now in Chapel Hill, got money from Durham and Orange counties respective Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils, as well as the Governors Crime Commission, to help youths discover their potential and give them a constructive activity. The juvenile justice system in this country is seriously flawed, so programs like this should be welcomed with open arms. Nationwide, there is a culture of physical and sexual abuse, and many kids leave the system even more alienated from their families and society and more dedicated to a life of crime than before. The state has made a goodfaith effort to combat this, even passing a statute to develop community-based alternatives to youth development centers, which have been shown, even with serious offenders, to be more effective. Thats where programs like the Ligo Dojo come in. As a second degree black belt in the American Taekwondo Association, I can speak to the good martial arts can do. I achieved that rank a long time ago and unfortunately havent practiced in years. I havent been in a non-Taekwondo fight since a fourth grade playground scuffle and wouldnt fare too well in one now. But what I do still have from those years of training is the mental edge. I still remember the oath we took before every practice, promising respect for peers and loyalty to instructors. I remember the self-control that we forced on ourselves, and the self-respect that we gained. These are all sadly lacking in the lives of many in our society youths and adults alike. Instilling these values in adults is often a lost cause because of busy schedules and years of bad habits. They often end up raising children just like themselves. Its a vicious cycle, and to stop it we need to nip it in the bud. And although the needs of youths defined as at-risk are the most pressing, this doesnt just apply to them. All of us have had times when we wish we couldve been more assertive, or when we realize we shouldve shown someone more respect. Martial arts isnt a panacea to our social ills, and it shouldnt be treated as such. But it can help. The state also uses the Eckerd Wilderness Camps to help foster a sense of teamwork and family in youth offenders. The average child sent there in the 2009-10 fiscal year improved both his or her reading and writing skills by one grade level or more in less than a year at the camp. Unfortunately, those camps have lost dozens of beds recently because of budget cuts. That makes programs like Ligo Dojo all the more important as they pick up the slack and continue helping kids grow into better adults.
11/17: Columnist Vera Parra writes on the student fight against the proposed tuition increases.
EDiTOriAl
With tuition, the Board of Trustees must keep Cooper, students in mind.
very year, it seems, a student body president walks into South Building with a compelling case for a tuition plan softening the blow to students. Every year, administrators nod their heads and pat the student on the back before inevitably crushing the proposal under the weight of their own competing plan. On Monday, the task force engaged in this ritual yet again, praising Student Body President Mary Coopers plan before ultimately approving Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Bruce Carneys proposal to raise in-state tuition by 15.6 percent and out-of-state tuition by 6.5 percent but not without one Board of Trustees member vehemently opposing it and another fearing that it was too modest. Even with these vehement reservations, trustee Sallie Shuping-Russell said Tuesday that she would support the proposal. But before she and the board give this proposal its rubber stamp of approval, she must prove that her praise for Coopers plan Monday doesnt become lip service today. As chairwoman of the boards budget, audit and finance committee, she must consider incorporating elements of
Coopers plan into Carneys and minimize the erosion of UNCs status as an accessible university of the people. Carneys proposal calls for lifting the salary freeze and providing faculty a 4 percent raise next year. Its a worthy goal, designed to retain faculty he says are defecting at a disturbing rate. But because UNC faculty are public employees, any raises would be contingent upon the N.C. General Assemblys approval, making this facet of the plan tenuous at best. Coopers plan called for a 7 percent faculty raise by 2014, with a 1.56 percent raise next year. This approach could prove more palatable for the state and stands to reduce the added burden students will bear next year. Given, faculty have shared a great deal of the pain. With consecutive years of budget cuts and a pay freeze, theyve seen their class sizes grow while their salaries have been stagnant. But they should embrace Coopers plan as a show of good faith, one that calls for more sacrifice for the sake of students and the Universitys contract with the state to remain as affordable as possible. In fairness, Cooper did not do herself any favors by waiting until the last minute to finalize her tuition plan. As ShupingRussell said Monday and again Tuesday, the plan would have
stood more of a chance had it arrived in her email inbox sooner than the morning of the task forces final meeting. But at 2 p.m. today, that shouldnt be an excuse to dismiss Coopers plan. ShupingRussell has said she was intrigued by Coopers inventive approach of charging incoming in-state students a catch up supplement to make up for budgetary gaps, while also making tuition increases predictable. Carney, who described Coopers plan as a remarkable achievement, attributed its tardiness to its thoroughness. Shuping-Russell should reflect on her own praise and not discard the proposal for its late arrival. After years of budget cuts, Carney said even his proposal doesnt accomplish all thats needed to preserve the academic core. Considering that this proposal is modest in the words of board chairman Wade Hargrove Carney and Chancellor Holden Thorp should see this year as the one to draw the line in the sand with the state legislature. The fiscal realities confronting the state are significant. But tuition should not be the solution. Its time to show Raleigh that the University has been cut down to its core and cannot take any more. Its time to listen to the student bodys representative to make that case.

Chapel Hill Police Department, said repeatedly in a news conference Monday that officers were unsure what was happening behind the buildings covered windows but were concerned that the group posed a threat. After attempting to contact the group Saturday evening, police were rebuffed by a masked, chanting crowd. For the next 18 hours, officers watched the building but made no additional attempt to contact the group. Had they done so, police might have realized that the group was essentially harmless before they raided the building, before they brandished assault weapons, pointed them in the faces of protesters, arrested seven people and detained many others, including two journalists. Everyone was eventually let go. No one was armed. Granted, the group broke
the law and warranted a police response. Police were placed in a difficult position, as they had to consider their own safety and an appropriate response based on little information. But with all the noise and dissent at the news conference, it was obvious that the police did not do enough to peacefully mediate the situation. It was clear that police made themselves look like the enemy compared to the severity of the groups crime. The operation showed a lack of planning and understanding of exactly what was going on. At the very least, more contact could have given police a better sense of what danger was involved so they could react appropriately. The department should take this incident and make every effort to show that it values communication and mediation before hostile action.
