Ross asks for 10 percent cap

The UNC-system president advocated for lower tuition hikes while students protested.
By Daniel Wiser
Assistant State & National Editor

In an effort to address both students concerns about tuition hikes and administrators concerns about a loss of academic quality after years of budget cuts, UNCsystem President Thomas Ross aims to meet them halfway. Ross said he will recommend tuition and fee increases of less than 10 percent for instate undergraduates at all system schools to members of the Board of Governors, which met Thursday in a room packed with campus administrators and students. Several universities proposed tuition and fee increases above that mark, including UNC-CHs proposal of 11.4 percent. Schools proposed average tuition and fee increases of 9.6 percent systemwide. Its about a balance, Ross said. Its about a balance between low tuition and high quality, maintaining excellence. Ross also said he will recommend increases for two years rather than the five-year plans proposed by many system schools. UNC-CHs Board of Trustees submitted a proposal to increase tuition by $2,800, or 40 percent, during the next five years. Board members will receive Ross recommendations in the next couple of weeks in preparation for a vote on tuition increases in February. The board will then send their recommendations to the N.C. General Assembly for final approval. Bruce Carney, executive vice chancellor and provost for UNC-CH, said the Universitys Board of Trustees will continue to seek approval of their proposed tuition increase from the Board of Governors. Im still in wait-and-see mode, said Carney, who is the author of the 40 percent increase proposal. The systems net reduction of $482 million in funding for campuses in the last four years has resulted in fewer course sections and larger class sizes for students.

Chancellors have also cited the need to retain faculty through pay raises in their requests for more tuition revenues. UNC-CH lost 110 of the 201 faculty who received external offers in the last two years. If the board opts to approve smaller tuition increases recommended by Ross, campuses will have fewer resources to restore core academic functions, Chancellor Holden Thorp said. The things we want to do with the tuition increase are faculty retention and restore class sections and make classes smaller, and well be able to do less of that if we have a smaller increase, he said. Thorp added that all of the systems universities include affordability for students as a factor in their tuition increase proposals. We came to the conclusion that what weve recommended is not going to compro-

mise access to the University, he said. When you see all of the campuses with similar kinds of increases, you see 16 parallel processes that all came to the same conclusion. Other chancellors presented information about the impact of budget cuts on their tuition increase proposals to board members at the meeting. Randy Woodson, chancellor of N.C. State University, said his campus has absorbed permanent cuts of $127 million in state funding in the last five years. Administrators have sought to hire more part-time faculty to grapple with rising enrollment, but the universitys studentfaculty ratio has continued to increase, Woodson said. N.C. States proposed tuition and fee increase of 10.4 percent

Elementary 11 is expected to cost slightly more than $21 million.

By Conor Furlong
Staff Writer

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School district will soon begin clearing the path for a new elementary school in Northside. Local school officials said workers will begin deconstructing several buildings at the site next week to make way for the new school, temporarily called Elementary School 11. The school is set to open by August 2013, said Todd LoFrese, assistant superintendent for support services. The proposed site, located between Caldwell Street and McMasters Street, is home to several unused public buildings and parking spaces. LoFrese said the deconstruction process is planned to be carried out in a sustainable manner. Well be sorting and shipping a lot of the building materials to recyclers in construction or other industries, LoFrese said. The bricks, concrete, steel and wood well be steering it away from the landfill. Habitat for Humanity will have access to the site and will

Women make up almost 60 percent of the UNC student body, but men are charged in almost 70 percent of Honor Court hearings, according to data released by the student attorney generals staff. In both academic and conduct cases, male students were charged in the majority of the 99 cases held between April 4 and Nov. 21 of last year. About 57 percent of those charged in academic cases were male, compared to 83 percent in conduct cases. The discrepancy between the

campuss gender ratio and the trend in the honor system has some faculty and administrators puzzled. We would expect that the breakdown of Honor Court cases would track somewhere close to the demographic breakdown, said Winston Crisp, vice chancellor for student affairs. Dean of Students Jonathan Sauls said the statistics of one short time period are not conclusive to a general trend. If we were to move a couple of numbers, you could receive widely different percentages, he said. But Lisa Pearce, an associate professor of sociology, said in an email that the findings are not surprising particularly in con-

TEDxUNC conference sells out fast

In a matter of seconds, the TEDxUNC events remaining free 50 student tickets sold out on Tuesday. But the conferences high demand wont keep it from a mass audience. It will be livestreamed by ReeseNews.org and later posted online for free. TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, brings together highprofile experts on a variety of

topics. Each expert then gives a lecture, which is posted on TED.com for free. UNCs TEDx conference to be held Jan. 21 at the FedEx Global Education Center will feature 11 lecturers, ranging from Chancellor Holden Thorp to the online executive editor of The Wall Street Journal. The speeches will be a maximum of 18 minutes long. Only 250 tickets, the maximum capacity of the venue, were released, said Rachel Myrick, one of the organizers.

Of the 250 tickets, 210 went to students, said Hudson Vincent, president of Carolina Creates, which organized the event. The other 40 tickets were given to faculty and to the speakers, he said. Carolina Creates is a student organization that focusses on spreading creative ideas throughout campus using music, writing, and visual arts. Myrick and other organizers acknowledged the need for a bigger venue next year. What I thought was going to

be small turned out to grow bigger and bigger because people are familiar with TED, she said. Myrick said she had to obtain a license from TED in order to hold the event, which also limited the number of attendees. The license requires that everything is done in the spirit of TED, she said, adding that she will apply for a different license next year in order to host a bigger event. Ian Lee, vice president of

ave you ever gotten so upset with Judge Judys delightfully condescending demeanor that you felt the need to strike someone over the head with a hammer? Yeah, no. But this crazy-pants lady has! Janet Knowles, 62, of Jupiter, Fla., was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated battery using a deadly weapon after she attacked a 65-year-old man with a hammer. Knowles was reportedly watching TV with the victim, when she became upset with Judge Judy prompting her to lash out at her court-show-watching companion. Knowles was also reportedly talking about a neighbors clothing choices while wielding the hammer. Weve got the solution yall: everyone just needs to watch Maury. Really, whats better than hearing, You are NOT the father!

Bus driver plays famous passenger, Parks

Transit employees plan to honor Rosa Parks with a reenactment.
By Kathryn Trogdon
Staff Writer

Chapel Hill Transit employees will turn into actors today to remember an African-American woman who took a stand after she was denied equal access to the services they provide every day. As part of the towns annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day week-long celebration for town employees, transit workers will reenact Rosa Parkss historic bus sit-in. The employees-turned-actors

have named the program Why Should I Move? Chapel Hill Transit Director Steve Spade said the play will feature an older Rosa Parks, played by transit employee Michelle Sykes, reminiscing on the historic day when Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery City bus in Alabama on Dec. 1, 1955. In the background, other employees will also help reenact that day. Since we are a bus company we thought it would be a good idea to do something about Rosa Parks, said Sheila Neville, a Chapel Hill Transit bus driver who is also playing the role of young Parks. Chapel Hill became one of the

first towns in North Carolina to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a town holiday in 1984 two years before it was a national holiday. But this past week marked its largest and most inclusive celebration ever. The festivities expanded from a one-day event to a week-long observance running Jan. 9 to Jan. 16. The celebration has also grown to include Chapel Hill employees in all departments, not just in the Public Works department, which has organized Martin Luther King Jr. Day events since the town began the celebration 13 years ago. The town manager wanted to see the celebration shared by more employees, said

town Spokeswoman Catherine Lazorko. The reenactment is a new part of town employees celebration, which has also featured blood drives, group readings and special speakers. The longest-running festivity an event in which employees share speeches and poetry is in its 13th year and will also be held today. Chapel Hill employees also went to public housing units for elderly residents this week and planted flowers in a beautification project as part of the celebration. Employees also discussed their won personal encounters growing up in the civil rights era in sessions held throughout the week.

aTTend The MLK evenTs

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro and UNC chapters of the NAACP will sponsor their annual Martin Luther King Jr. Rally, March and Worship Service starting at 9 a.m. in front of the Franklin Street Post Office. The march will end at First Baptist Church. At 11:00 a.m., the church service will be held at First Baptist Church at 106 N. Roberson St. Former N.C. Rep. Larry Hall will speak, a choir will perform and a brief ceremony will honor military veterans. For more events: http://bit.ly/ zoIvkU

Maggie Burnett, office manager of the Public Works Department, participated in and organized the events to help honor Martin Luther King Jr.s life. I was the product of mandatory desegregation of public school systems in Chatham coun-

Acklands new show transforms the commonplace

As demonstrated by the artists in this exhibition, a whole host of emotions pleasure, nostalgia, anxiety, etcetera can be expressed creatively through everyday objects, Bowles said. Peter Nisbet, chief curator at the Ackland, said that the presentation will be rich and stimulating. Its a show that allows our students and other visitors to think about what is the relationship between their own local, regional cultures and contemporary art, he said. And what is the role of the local in this age of the Internet and globalization. The exhibition starts a series of shows at the Ackland examining the vernacular from different perspectives, like through pottery and quilts, Bowles said. The Ackland has scheduled lectures, guided tours and performances related to The Spectacular of Vernacular to help viewers see the range of artworks on display. Emily Kass, director of the Ackland, said an interesting facet of the programming is the incorporation of music. Musicians will use handmade instruments and recordings of everyday sounds to communicate a musical approach to the vernacular. A musician-composer has been recording sounds of installing the exhibition and is creating music using and manipulating these sounds, Kass explained.

Town to use Saturday transit schedule Monday

Chapel Hill Transit will operate a Saturday schedule on Monday to observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. That means that the service will not operate its U or NU routes. Regular service will resume Tuesday. -From staff and wire reports

The work in the Ackland Art Museums latest show transforms the familiar into the fantastic, the mundane into the marvelous. The Spectacular of Vernacular opens today, as the Ackland celebrates the transformation of commonplace, regional items into whimsically creative contemporary art. The show which runs for the next two months features 25 leading contemporary artists. The Ackland is the final venue on the shows tour and the only venue in the Southeast. Curators from the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis organized the exhibition with the intent to embrace the rustic charm and discordant clash of surroundings that often go unnoticed like an antique car lodged in overgrown grass and vines and excessively flashy signs for motels. The artists used a combination of conventional art materials and items from everyday life to create paintings and sculptures. These, along with video and photography, will send viewers on a road trip through regions of the U.S. Emily Bowles, the Acklands director of communications, said the show will invoke meanings that viewers associate with their social, cultural and regional homes.

Weaver Street reopening fast approaching

Weather conditions, however, may delay the project further.
By Chessa DeCain
Staff Writer

After months of construction and street closures, local officials say Carrboros Weaver Street could reopen soon. Parts of West Weaver Street opened to local traffic on Wednesday from the Greensboro Street end and side streets. The Elm Street end will remain closed to prevent thru-traffic. The reconstruction project began in March 2011 and entered its final phase in December, but weather delays have stalled completion. Because the final phase of the project which involves placing a final layer of asphalt and marking the pavement depends on weather, David Poythress, project manager, said it was difficult to predict

when it would end. If we had good temperatures and no rain, we probably wouldve been reopening Weaver Street tomorrow. Rebecca Bogart, office and finance manager at The Wellness Alliance on Weaver Street, said she is happy to see the construction end. It sort of looks like a ghost town, Bogart said. Its just sort of a quiet street now. Poythress said the town is looking for alternative ways to reopen the area while waiting for the weather to improve. The town is considering temporarily reopening West Weaver Street, but that has not been finalized at this time, Poythress said. Economic and Community Development Director Annette Stone said the town has made efforts to keep construction from affecting businesses. Any time a road is shut down thats hard on a business, particularly a small business, and were certainly trying to be as helpful with that as we can,

Stone said. Parts of the project were constructed in phases to minimize street closure in front of any group of businesses. Weve gone to great lengths to provide access to these locations and provided alternate parking to try to facilitate access to these businesses as best we can, Poythress said. The town also communicated regularly with businesses on Weaver Street and posted signs detailing street closures. Aside from general longterm improvements to the roadway, Poythress said the town has added more storm drainage and crosswalks to Weaver Street.

dth file photo Since March, Weaver Street in Carrboro has been under construction delayed due to weather but it should reopen soon.

Construction continues
In addition to the roadway construction on West Weaver Street, several businesses affected by a sewer break in August will soon begin repairs. Armadillo Grill, ACME Food and Beverage Co. and the Orange County Social Club

are among the businesses that were affected by a blockage in a private sewer line. Stone said the repairs could start as early as the next few days, but will be dependent on weather. She said the sewer line violated health standards after the blockage, and businesses hired a contractor to repair it as a short-term solution. As a long-term solution and

to alleviate similar problems in the future, the Board of Aldermen approved a resolution of intent at a Nov. 22 meeting to construct a public sewer line on Roberson Street. Businesses affected by the broken sewer line will have the public line available to use once its built, Stone said. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

As Orange Countys landfill approaches capacity and its Eubanks Road site nears its closing date, local officials continue to debate the best way to deal with the countys trash. Though Orange County Commissioners voted in 2009 to begin transferring trash to a Durham County waste transfer station in 2013, Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton has recently voiced opposition to the plan. Chilton posted an appeal to residents on the liberal-leaning blog Orange Politics this Monday, asking them to contact their Orange County representatives to oppose the Durham transfer station plan. The measure is meant to last only three to five years, but Chilton said it should never be used. Instead, he wants the county to continue using the existing landfill or build a new one. The Orange County proposal for downtown Durham requires city trucks to drive a long way at highway speeds through heavy traffic, carrying them off their collection routes for a lot longer, and leaving a greater environmental footprint, Chilton said in an interview. He said the high cost of transferring waste should also be a deterrent. Gayle Wilson, director of Orange County solid waste, said moving waste to Durham will cost $130,000 to $140,000 more per year in hauling fees than the county currently pays. But County Manager Frank Clifton said changing the plan is not that simple, and building a new landfill in Orange County is not on the table. Wilson said the county has considered building another transfer station as a longterm solution. The county produces 35,000 to 36,000 tons of garbage per year, significantly more than the minimum 5,000 tons required to build and maintain a station. But it would cost the county between $1.5 to $6 million to build a station, and finding a location has also been a major hurdle. Originally, the county planned to build a waste transfer station on top of the Eubanks landfill. But the historically black and low-income Rogers Road community, where the site is located, has housed county trash for nearly 40 years and activists, the Orange County Democratic Party and the NAACP protested. Orange County Commissioners reconsidered the location of the transfer station and hired Olver Inc. in 2008 to determine a better location. When residents near each potential site protested, commissioners voted 6-1 in 2009 to move trash to Durham temporarily to buy time. County Manager Frank Clifton said they have left the idea of a station in Orange County behind, at least temporarily. The county is not at all considering having its own waste transfer station, Clifton said. The countys plans are to move the waste to Durham in 2013. But beyond fiscal concerns, Chilton said he also worries about the environmental cost of transferring waste. The environmental impact of direct hauling to Durham is significant when you add up Orange County trucks, Chapel Hill trucks, Carrboro trucks and trucks from facilities, Wilson said. Chilton also said Orange County could miss future waste managing techniques like mass compost. If we start using Durham, we will never stop, he said. If we could build the political will in this time, then maybe we could make a difference. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

ence strain over not doing well in classes or having struggles in other areas of life, it may result in depression, anxiety, guilt or selfdirected deviance, Pearce said. But male students who experience strain are more likely to be angry and act out, possibly by cheating on an exam or other behaviors considered Honor Code violations. Jan Boxill, chairwoman of the faculty, said other factors also contribute, including gender distributions of the classes that report misconduct, along with faculty bias. General research has shown that women look at things differently, Boxill said. While for them, accomplishing a goal is important, getting an education along the way is also equally important. Pearce said perception is often heavily based on gender bias. It would not surprise me if faculty, staff and students at UNC

were more likely to expect violations from males and therefore watch them or investigate their behavior a bit more closely, Pearce said. Keith Payne, associate professor of psychology, said stereotypes based on these perceptions are also a cause for the numbers. People tend to be convicted at higher rates whenever theyre charged with a crime that fits the stereotype of that group, he said. In these kinds of cases where the stereotype fits for males, people will tend to judge more harshly. History professor Jay Smith said faculty only monitor suspicious behavior, rather than gender, when looking for cheating. I can confidently say I dont suspect one kind of student more than another.

This is not putting on the backs of students the cost of higher education, he said. Ross urged board members to consider the impact of tuition increases on families and students in their analysis of campuses proposals. The states sputtering economy including an unemployment rate of 10 percent is one of the main reasons Ross said he will recommend lower tuition increases than the campuses. Not because I dont believe the requests are justified, but instead because I believe given the times were in and the needs of the families and students that we serve we just cant go as high as some of the campuses have demonstrated need for, he said.

When Gen. Martin Dempsey was a student at Duke University, his favorite past time didnt involve attending lectures. But the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest ranking military officer in the country delivered one of those lectures Thursday, joking that he would rather be at a sports bar. My recollection of my time at Duke suggests that before basketball games, Id find my way not to a lecture hall, but rather to Shooters, he said at the speech. Dempsey, who received a masters degree in English from Duke in 1984, told a packed audience about a new national security strategy. This is the first time Dempsey has spoken about the strategy outside of Washington, D.C. since President Barack Obama revealed new strategic guidance for the U.S. military on Jan. 5. Dempsey talked about his career in the military and his time at Duke, before discussing some specifics of the new strategy. It seeks a balance of principle and pragmatism, he said. When he unveiled the strategy, Obama had said the militarys budget would be slashed. This could include a possible $487 billion cut throughout the course of the next 10 years. The militarys priorities will also be shifted to an emphasis on the Middle East and East Asia. We as service chiefs dont feel victimized by this, Dempsey said. We clearly have a role to play, all of us, in helping the nation address its economic deficit. Dempsey said the new strategy responds to recent changes in the world, such as the Arab Spring revolutions, a regime change in North Korea and the proliferation of information technology and non-biological intelligence.

dth/eliza williams Gen. Martin Dempsey, chariman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, speaks about U.S. military strategy at Duke University Thursday evening.

Past strategies have been designed to allow the military to fight two major wars at once, but this capability will not exist in the future, Dempsey said. David Gray, a peace, war and defense professor at UNC, said U.S. troops will be removed from countries in Europe, like Germany, and shifted to the Middle East. Theyre going to cut the Army and the Marines, but theyre going to plus up the Navy and the Air Force, he said. Gray said Dempseys speech is included creating a TEDxUNC logo and recording a video about why a participant deserved to attend. I think the whole concept of TED is popular, Myrick said. Its very interesting and inspiring so people were just excited it could be at UNC. She added that organizers developed the challenges to not only spread the word, but to find a wide, diverse group of students that were excited about the conference. Mackenzie Thomas, co-presi-

part of a political campaign to sell the new military strategy to the public. Youve got to put it on the table and let people throw rocks at it, he said. Dempsey said securing U.S. economic prosperity will lead to greater national security. Weve got to rebalance ourselves, he said. If we havent learned anything over the last 10 years, shame on us. Contact the State and National Editor at state@dailytarheel.com. dent of the Campus Y who helped organize the event, said the contests helped attract student interest.

monitor showing the students how much energy they are using, for their lights, for their computers, for kitchen equipment, Triggiano said. LoFrese said the school district has been authorized to spend up to $2.1 million in order to generate sufficient cash flow to begin the project. Orange County will ultimately reimburse the school for those funds and pay for the entire project, which is slated to cost just more than $21 million, LoFrese said. Construction bids will be accepted starting Jan. 31, and construction should begin in March, LoFrese said. Stephanie Knott, spokeswoman for the school district, said the school will bring a positive afterschool atmosphere to Northside. It will certainly bring all of the rich kinds of opportunities that go on at a school, Knott said. Parent education nights, multicultural nights, programs in which students perform the arts all of those kind of things will occur. The plans for a new school began in 2008, but the need became urgent after enrollment spiked this school year. Indications of a spike in enrollment started in late July and early August with registration, LoFrese said. Enrollment numbers were nearing 105 percent capacity, the school districts maximum, he said. If the district reaches that threshold, the county would have to freeze residential development in the area in accordance with the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance. If officials hadnt been pressured by enrollment figures, it is unlikely the school would have opened before 2014, Knott said. She said the school will also be available for local groups to rent space for meetings. Contact the City Editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

TIgERS TOppLE TAR HEELS

INSIDE: Look inside to read about how UNCs depth didnt necessarily help the Tar Heels against Clemson.
Shegog and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt were the leading Tar Heels scorers on the night as they both had 11 points. UNC trailed Clemson for most of the second half until Ruffin -Pratt sunk a jump shot from the right side that put UNC ahead by one with nine minutes remaining in the game. Ruffin-Pratts basket was enough to wake the nearly dormant crowd in Carmichael Arena, but it didnt hold off the surging Tigers for long. The two teams traded possession and occasionally baskets for the remainder of the contest, but the Tigers were able to keep the game in their favor. In the final nine minutes, UNC missed 11 field goal attempts while Clemson only missed the mark twice. The Tar Heels had a shot at forcing overtime with 37 seconds left as White hit a jumper just inside the arc to bring UNC within three. But on the next offensive possession, White sent an errant pass out of bounds, returning possession to Clemson. Not only was UNC unable to score, posting the lowest offensive output this season, but they also lost the battle on the glass. The Tigers out-rebounded the usually strong rebounding Tar Heels 41-36, and Clemson had a 30-21 advantage on defensive rebounds. We got outrebounded, Hatchell said. I really dont know.

Sylvia hatchell was unable to get her 600th win as UNC coach.
By Brooke Pryor
Already rolling up her sleeves in a game barely two minutes old, North Carolina head coach Sylvia Hatchell knew the matchup with ACC basement dweller Clemson wasnt going to be an easy outing. With an 8-0 run from Clemson to open the first half and a 7-0 run to start the second, it came as no surprise to Hatchell that No. 22 UNC suffered the 52-47 upset. I dont know how much worse we could have played, Hatchell said. The Tar Heels were held scoreless five minutes before posting their first field goal, a Krista Gross inside bucket with an assist from Shela White. I dont know where the lack of effort came from, Gross said. We didnt have the same mentality we had going into the Maryland game. The loss marked the first time since 2001 that Clemson defeated UNC, breaking an 18-game win streak for the Tar Heels. Shooting nearly 40 percent in the first half and 21 percent in the second, UNC fought to find consistency. The Tigers held ACC leading scorer Chay Shegog to 11 points. Weve got to come together. We cant fall apart, Shegog said. Were gonna go through a lot this season. Weve been through a lot this season.

North Carolina falls to Tigers despite added depth to the roster.
By Michael Lananna
Assistant Sports Editor

When the Carmichael Arena lights dim and the PA announcer begins his pre-game introductions, its truly anybodys guess who will the take court for the North Carolina womens basketball team. In Thursday nights 52-47 loss against Clemson, Sylvia Hatchell trotted out the eighth different lineup the injury-ravaged Tar Heels have employed this season. But despite having a few more weapons at their disposal than usual, the Tar Heels struggled to gel offensively. They put up the fewest points theyve tallied in a game this season.

Junior guard Tierra RuffinPratt made her first start since coming back last month from right shoulder surgery, and Shela White and Laura Broomfield also played despite ankle and eye injuries respectively. But UNC wasnt able to maintain its lead for long, going into halftime tied 29-29 and allowing Clemson to go on a 7-0 run in the beginning of the second half. Other than two brief, one-point leads in the middle of the half, UNC continued to trail the Tigers. And Hatchell said she believes UNCs added depth couldve done more harm than good. When our numbers were so low everybody knew that they had to play. Thats what they had to do, Hatchell said. Now, maybe theyre feeling like, I dont have to as much as I was doing because other people can do it. We got to have some time to get the chemistry together with this group.

North Carolina o to Virginia Duals

By Brandon Moree
Assistant Sports Editor

With the first dual win of the season now behind it, the North Carolina wrestling team heads north to Virginia to compete in a dual tournament. The 14-team field is headlined by No. 9 Missouri and the No. 20 Rutgers squad that beat the Tar Heels 33-9 in late November. But given the competition UNC has already faced this season, which includes three teams currently ranked in the top 10, coach C.D. Mock said his team is used to tough bouts. Im not sure that anything can compare to what weve seen so far, Mock said. Competition in the beginning (rounds) we should do well, but as you progress through the tournament obviously you hit tougher and tougher competition. To open the Virginia Duals, the Tar Heels (1-7) will face Rider (44) at 11 a.m. on Friday. Like North Carolina, Rider enters the tourna-

ment unranked as a team, but the Broncs do have a wrestler ranked individually. Jim Resnick, who wrestles at 174 pounds, is ranked 13th by InterMat Wrestling, a collegiate ranking organization. Matched up with Resnick will be freshman Alex Utley who has had a strong first season as a Tar Heel. Utley (10-8) placed third in the season-opening Hokie Open and is coming off a 3-1 decision in the win against Duke. Id put Alex up against anybody, Mock said. His style of wrestling is such that hes very hard to score on. Hes got very good defense, particularly as a freshman. North Carolina will wrestle either No. 23 Edinboro or Drexel in its second match depending on the outcome of the first round. The Tar Heels bested both of those teams last season in dual matches. The highest-ranked Tar Heel, freshman Evan Henderson, enters

the tournament with a record of 19-5. Mock said that Henderson, who is ranked 14th in the 141pound class, though he struggled in his win against Duke, has handled the jump from high school to college wrestling well and expects that to continue this weekend. Evans done a great job, hes still making adjustments. Last week at Duke he felt really sluggish in that match and looked sluggish, Mock said. I think that also is a function of not cutting his weight right. Both he and Corey (Mock) have made some adjustments this week and should do a lot better. North Carolinas only other ranked wrestler, the 157-pound Mock, was replaced in the Duke dual by Nebraska transfer Jon Burns due to severe leg cramps. Mock will be back in action this weekend, and Burns will be competing at his usual weight of 149. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

After taking the programs first national title since 2001, two Tar Heels were taken in the first round of Major League Soccers SuperDraft on Thursday. The Butler transfer Matt Hedges, a defender, was taken 11th by FC Dallas and UNC midfielder Enzo Martinez went 17th to Real Salt Lake. Ben Speas, who scored the game winner in the College Cup final, signed a homegrown contract with the Columbus Crew earlier this week.

A new look for

Tar Heels hit the road for FSU

After winning all of its contests during a nine-game homestand, the North Carolina mens basketball team will travel to Tallahassee to take on conference rival Florida State on Saturday in its first road game in six weeks. And if this weekends matchup is anything like the last several between the Seminoles (10-6, 1-1 ACC) and the Tar Heels, UNC (16-2, 2-0 ACC) could be challenged as it tries to continue its winning streak. Despite beating the Seminoles in four of their last five contests, three of the Tar Heels last four wins against Florida State have been decided by a total of eight points. On March 2, 2011, freshman forward Harrison Barnes 3-point buzzer beater gave the Tar Heels a 72-70 win against the Seminoles in the Tucker Center. Florida State is known for its stifling defense, which could present an interesting situation when it meets one of the most dynamic offenses in the nation. This season, the Tar Heels are currently second in the ACC in field goal percentage, shooting 48 percent from the field. But holding opponents to 36 percent shooting, the Seminoles top the conference and rank No. 5 in the NCAA in field goal percentage defense. While North Carolina might excel at putting points on the board, that has been something the Seminoles have struggled with at times during the 2011-12 season. After making a run to the Sweet 16 in last years NCAA Tournament before losing by one point in overtime to Final Four team Virginia Commonwealth, the Seminoles lost their top two leading scorers, Chris Singleton and Derwin Kitchen. And early in the season, the Seminoles certainly felt their absence. On Nov. 25, 2011, No. 20 Florida State fell to unranked Harvard 46-41, marking its first loss of the season. At halftime, the score was tied 14-14, tying the NCAA Division I record for the fewest points scored in a single half since 1986. The Seminoles offense has since benefitted from the return of sophomore guard Ian Miller. After sitting out the first semester, Miller has played in five games and has averaged 14 points per game off the bench. ESPNs College GameDay will kick off its 2012 season in Tallahassee before the game on Saturday, and the recent close games between the two teams should make the matchup an exciting one. The media attention surrounding Saturdays game could make the Tucker Center a tough environment for the Tar Heels to visit after a lengthy homestand, but its almost certainly guaranteed to provide an entertaining ACC matchup.

On the decline
The ACC
ACC teams finished with an underwhelming 2-6 record in bowls this postseason, bookended by UNCs 41-24 loss to Missouri and Clemsons embarrassing 70-33 loss in the Orange Bowl. The Tigers and Virginia Tech both dropped their BCS games in the first year the ACC got multiple BCS bids. But basketball is the ACCs thing, right? Nope. The conference has just three teams in the RPI top 50 and lost the ACC/Big 10 Challenge 8-4. Pittsburgh, who will soon join the ACC, has fallen from No. 10 in preseason polls to unranked and 0-4 in Big East play. The good news is Syracuse is currently No. 1 in the nation and will come to the ACC along with Pittsburgh.

T.J. Yates
Former Tar Heel quarterback T.J. Yates threw for 159 yards and a touchdown in the Houston Texans 31-10 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The rookie fifth-round draft pick is 4-3 since filling in for injured veterans Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart in week 13. Yates and the Texans will travel to Baltimore on Sunday to play a Ravens squad known for its defense. Not bad for somebody who was booed by his own Tar Heel fans just two years ago.

Ohio State
The Buckeyes, previously the top team in the nation, lost to unranked Illinois on Tuesday, marking their second loss in two weeks. Illini guard Brandon Paul scorched Ohio State for 43 points in the upset. Things dont get much easier for them, as No. 7 Indiana goes to Columbus for a showdown on Sunday. The Hoosiers beat Ohio State 74-70 when the two teams squared off just two weeks ago. Already 3-2 in conference, the Buckeyes face a tall task to nab a conference championship as they still have to travel to Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State. Star forward Jared Sullinger has struggled to show much improvement from his freshman campaign.

Federal budget deficit less than last years shortfall
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT) The U.S. government ran a deficit of $86 billion in December, the Treasury Department reported Thursday, pushing the federal budget shortfall to $322 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The December monthly deficit was $8 billion higher compared to the same month in 2010. The fiscal year deficit to date, however, showed an improvement, falling by $47 billion compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Receipts were $240 billion in December, compared to spending of $326 billion by the government in the month. The monthly numbers arrive in the thick of the presidential campaign and as Congress prepares to return to Washington. Deficit reduction has been high on the White Houses and Congresss to-do list, but last year saw the implosion of the 12-member supercommittee of lawmakers tasked with planning budget cuts. As a result, more than $1 trillion in automatic, across-the-board cuts are due to kick in beginning in January 2013.

Campus group nances North Korean refugee

By Caroline Leland
Staff Writer

Christine Kim was frustrated when the student group she was most passionate about disintegrated after its leader graduated. That discontent, paired with a passion for helping North Korean refugees, led her to found the UNC chapter of the nonprofit organization Liberty in North Korea in the fall of 2009. Following the example that Kim set before graduating in 2010, LiNK finally achieved her ultimate goal at the end of the fall semester. The group succeeded in raising $2,500, enough to save one North Korean refugee, in just two semesters. I wanted to found a structural organization where, even after I graduated, there would be someone passionate enough to continue the organization, Kim said. The group raised the money by holding monthly fundraisers and publicity events such as a

Fast for Hunger, where students were asked to donate their lunch money, said Hannah Ryu, who was the groups president last semester. Ryu said North Korea is a restrictive nation where citizens are not granted freedom of religion, speech or movement. Because half of the nation lives in poverty and leaving the country is illegal, having funds to help refugees gain asylum is crucial, she said. Angela Hall, LiNKs current copresident, said refugees who are caught after escaping from North Korea are often thrown into prison camps where they face the possibility of torture and death. By rescuing one refugee, its saving a life, Hall said. The money raised by LiNK is used to pay for traveling expenses, legal fees and shelter for refugees. The group has already sent the money to the national organizations headquarters in Los Angeles, Ryu said.

The national LiNK organization uses the money to send their agents to border cities in China, where most refugees flee, said Lucas Edmond, co-chairman for the fundraising committee of UNCs chapter. Because China considers the refugees illegal immigrants, the agents must transport them to the U.S. or South Korean embassies in Southeast Asia, he said. There, refugees are given immediate asylum and relocated, Edmond said. Hall said LiNK plans to raise the same amount of money enough to save another refugee by the end of this semester, cutting the fundraising time in half. Kim said she was happy to hear about LiNKs success and is proud of the groups efforts. Indirectly, Ive accomplished my goal. I started with very little, but now I see this great fruit.

Police protected the public in Occupy raid
TO THE EDITOR: I guess if we just keep badgering the Chapel Hill Town Council, then maybe they will give in to the alleged many who do not support the police action taken at the breaking and entering of Yates Motor Company. I contend that many people believe that the police action was appropriate based on the circumstances. You have to understand, most of us law abiding citizens would not break into private property. Let me take you to Henderson, N.C., last month where a 14-year-old shot and killed a man as he broke into his home. The same week in Oklahoma, an 18-year-old shot and killed an intruder while he was attempting to break into her home. If we endorse the actions of the Occupiers, then we are giving our thumbs up to criminals to break into our homes. The police let the criminals know that they intend to protect the public. After all, that is the job of the police: to protect the many of us who choose not to break the law against the few who think they are above the law.

giddy Tim Tebow decided to celebrate after his unlikely playoff win last weekend. But his night spent with Mikes Hard Lemonade and his favorite movie Rudy left the superhero quarterback with a pounding headache the next day. Like us mortals, NFL stars get hungover too. Not even Tebow has a magical cure for them. He probably sips Gatorade while Tebowing over his toilet. Of course, this account of Tebows post-game celebration is purely speculative and probably fictional (my requests for an interview were not answered). Regardless, hangovers have been around so long that, even if Tebow hasnt experienced one firsthand, he has surely read about them in the Bible: Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink (Isaiah 5:11). In todays world, hangovers cost the U.S. economy $148 billion annually, according to a 1998 study, and contribute to near-empty 8 a.m. classes nationwide. So, given their repercussions, why hasnt someone invented a better cure for them yet? For one, the precise cause of hangovers is a mystery. Possible contributors include excess acetaldehyde, which accumulates during the livers breakdown of alcohol, alterations of chemical messengers called cytokines and out-of-whack hormone levels. In addition, sediments found in wine, tequila, whiskey and other dark liquors can worsen symptoms, which is why clear liquors like rum, vodka and gin are popular among career alcoholics. Unfortunately, studies to fill these information gaps are scarce, possibly because hangovers are largely viewed by the scientific community as a dose of karma for irresponsible boozehounds. As a result, only a few remedies have supporting research. The most effective hangover remedies are preventive staying hydrated, not drinking on an empty stomach, and taking a pregame vitamin B6 supplement and a postgame ibuprofen (although the alcoholibuprofens combination raises risks of stomach bleeding). For each evidence-based remedy, there are dozens of urban legends. A little hair of the dog may delay symptoms but leads to a worse hangover later. Contrary to folklore, hangover brunch doesnt affect the absorption of alcohol that was consumed hours before. Caffeine works for some but worsens headaches for regular coffee drinkers. And hitting the gym is great for raising endorphins but not so great for nausea. Research is scant on most overthe-counter hangover fixes, and those that have been tested have had disappointing results. In short, Chaser and its imitators are probably just overpriced placebos. Not surprisingly, the most effective way to avoid a hangover is to reduce or cut out drinking, which can sometimes seem like a feat when youre in college. But more students are able to avoid hitting the bottle than you might think. Almost 35 percent of UNC students didnt drink any alcohol in the past month, according to the October 2010 Core Survey. Those who chose to booze consumed an average of only 4 drinks per week. So until that miracle hangover cure arrives, cutting yourself off is the best way to avoid Tebowing to the porcelain goddess.

Excellence and accessibility

NC-system President Thomas Ross sent an important message with his proposed 10 percent cap on tuition increases: some increases are necessary to maintain educational quality, but it is equally necessary to limit these increases, lest we lose the character of North Carolinas excellent public universities. Students may object that even the 10 percent cap on tuition increases for in-state students would be drastic. They may be right. But 10 percent is better than the 15.6 percent tuition increase proposed by the UNC-CH Board of Trustees. And it is a far cry from the increases the trustees proposed for the next five years, which would amount to a staggering 40 percent. Ross recommendation also differed from the trustees in the number of years over which his increases would be implemented. While trustees suggested a plan that spans half a decade, Rosss would take effect over the next two years. Given the volatility of todays economic conditions, especially

EDiTOriAl

Ross 10 percent cap is the right first step to find a middle ground.

in North Carolina, it makes little sense for the UNC-system Board of Governors to sign off on a five-year plan for tuition increases. Rosss plan offers a more reasonable course. If the Board of Governors follows Ross plan, it can revisit the tuition issue in two years and re-evaluate the needs of the UNC system in the economy of 2014. For students currently in high school in North Carolina, a guarantee that tuition wont increase more than 10 percent in the next two years could determine whether or not they think college is a realistic option. The possibility of a 40 percent increase, on the other hand, could very easily be a deal-breaker for low- and middle-income students as they navigate the already daunting process of applying to college. Its easy to get wrapped up in the numbers of the tuition debate; to be sure, the focus of the discussion is and should be the bottom line. But its also crucial that students, trustees, administrators and members of the Board of Governors keep the larger picture in mind. Anyone with a stake in this university should consider carefully the long-term

consequences of a significant increase in tuition. The Board of Governors especially must put this years increases in the context of a larger reactionary trend in the UNC system during recent years. As the state legislature has imposed ever-deeper budget cuts, UNC-system schools have adjusted, finding a new equilibrium through a combination of cuts and tuition increases. But we cant continue to burn the candle from both ends. Cuts to programs and salaries will cripple UNCs ability to continue to draw toptier faculty and talented students, both from within and from outside the state of North Carolina. And a shift toward higher tuition, whether it occurs over the course of a decade or a single year, will also change the pool from which this university draws. The diversity on which we now pride ourselves could suffer tremendously. The Board of Governors must strike the best balance possible between prohibitively high tuition costs and anemic, revenue-starved budgets. Go too far in either direction, and UNC runs the risk of becoming mediocre academically or inaccessible to those for whom it was created.

Parking pains
he recently passed ordinance limiting parking in the Northside and Pine Knolls neighborhoods likely wont bring about real change and will leave both sides dissatisfied. On the surface, long-time residents opposed to the gentrification of the neighborhoods should be pleased with the new resolutions, which restrict residents to no more than four parked vehicles on each lot. But what may seem productive and honorable at first glance wont necessarily bring about a clear victor in the towns ongoing gentrification debate until the Town Council takes a side in the fight. After complaints from residents about student renters spurred discussions and proposals in the Chapel Hill Town Council, the council passed the parking and building regulations for the two communities. Many permanent residents want to preserve their neighborhoods atmosphere by limiting the number of students who want to move in and they may have a point. But

EDiTOriAl

New parking law does not go far enough for the town or students.

considering many students depend on their cars, the ordinance could pose considerable inconvenience to student renters paying to live there. The two communities may be located close to downtown Chapel Hill, but students cant travel safely on Highway 54 and 15-501 with a bicycle. Parts of Chapel Hill are inaccessible without a car, and students cant rely on a bus every time they need a ride to Target in Durham. On the surface, the regulations may seem like a done deal for residents. But a closer look at the new ordinance reveals a significant perhaps even nullifying loophole. Because each Chapel Hill residence is also allotted five resident passes for street parking, students will likely be able to work around the new four-car ordinance. That means a grand total of nine cars will be allowed under the ordinance more than enough for the average group of student residents. Northside and Pine Knolls lawns may be clear, but the streets may end up just as cluttered. It seems unlikely that the parking regulations would do much to prevent students from living there. While the regulations may discourage some students from moving to the neighborhood, they

wont solve the problem. The neighborhoods are prime real estate for students, and these restrictions arent drastic enough to scare away all student renters. Gentrification has been the buzzword of recent debate about Chapel Hills evolving neighborhoods and UNCs expanding campus. Northside and Pine Knolls residents have a valid argument in wanting to preserve the communities historic and familyfriendly roots. But with looming tuition increases and a dismal economic climate, students need affordable housing now more than ever. The town needs to pick a side. Until the council decides what issues it wants to stand for, neither residents nor students will be satisfied. The parking regulations are just another example of a barely enforceable resolution passed by the council to keep both parties happy. It may not be easy, but the council owes it to Chapel Hill residents to take a side on every issue, including this one. Middle-of-the-road policies only serve to bring about symbolic change. If the council wants to be taken seriously, it must cut the unproductive discussion and focus on absolute, unwavering resolutions on this issue.
