For the past 19 years, Roland Hedgepeth has spent this day with his beloved daughter, Faith Danielle Hedgepeth. Today on what would have been her 20th birthday he will spend it without her for the first time. She was born at a real hard time in my life, said Roland Hedgepeth. I always felt like the Lord had given me Faith to give me something to live for, and I came through those hard times. On the morning of Sept. 7, Faith Hedgepeth, a UNC junior, was found dead by friends in her apartment off Old Chapel Hill Road. Chapel Hill police have released little information about the homicide investigation into her death though calls from Durham emergency response officials have shed light on what they encountered upon arriving at the scene. Many have expressed confusion, fear and sadness over Hedgepeths death. But today, her friends and family will choose to remember a friend they describe as smart, kind and loving.

Top of the Hill Restaurant & Brewery is now adding vodka to its list of organic, locally sourced menu items. Top of the Hills new vodka became available for purchase at ABC stores in Carrboro on Tuesday. The liquor will be available at Top of the Hill and other Chapel Hill restaurants by Thursday. Scott Maitland, proprietor of Top of the Hill, said the TOPO vodka is distilled in Chapel Hill and made entirely from local, organic ingredients. He said TOPO is the only local, organic distillery in the South. A 750 milliliter bottle of vodka costs $28.95. The distillery is not
Maitlands first venture into the world of alcoholic beverage production. TOPO has been brewing beer in its microbrewery for years. Maitland said he found that beer brewed in North Carolina could not be truly local because malting houses cant operate in the North Carolinian climate. But he realized that a distillery would not face the same problems because ingredients used for the production of vodka could be sourced entirely locally. I got excited when I realized that I could make a worldclass product using only local agricultural ingredients, Maitland said. That really got me pumped. Maitlands focus on local ingredients resonates with the recent movement by restaurateurs to source local food. And potential customers have taken notice. UNC senior Seth Crabtree said that while he does not drink much liquor, he

J. Cole is bringing Cole World to UNC for the 2012 Homecoming Concert. This years concert comes with a bigger name and a
higher price tag than previous years. To see rapper J. Cole perform in Carmichael Arena on Nov. 4, students must pay $15 for upper-level seats and $20 for the lower level. Ticket prices have increased from last years $10 to see indie band The New Pornographers. The increased ticket price came from the much, much higher cost of the concert this year, said Tom Low, president
of the Carolina Union Activities Board. The J. Cole contract cost CUAB and the Carolina Athletic Association $105,000, compared to $40,000 for The New Pornographers last year. Tickets for the J. Cole concert
went on sale Tuesday at noon. Students in line for tickets did not have many complaints about the increased price. Paying $15 or $20 to see J.

ine is usually a classy drink of choice. That is, when its going from the bottle to the glass to your mouth. In a total frat move, the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter at the University of Tennessee was suspended after a 20-year-old bro found himself in the hospital for alcohol poisoning. So far, normal. The reason the alcohol hit him so severely? Butt chugging that is, squirting wine into your rectum, enema style makes alcohol hit the bloodstream more quickly and directly than drinking it. As in, these frat boys were squirting wine into their rectums. By choice. For fun. This disturbing and surely unenjoyable practice cost the fraternity 30 days of butt-chugging good times. It is their second suspension in four years after a January 2008 hazing incident that gave multiple members staph infections. They sound like great guys. Thankfully, though, they werent being economically wasteful the police said they found several bags from boxed wines throughout the house when they arrived. Hopefully Franzia will survive this embarrassing incident.

The Chapel Hill Town Council voted Monday to unanimously pass an ordinance that will establish a flat-rate fare between $6 and $8 for town taxis. The fare, which updates the towns 1986 taxi ordinance and goes into effect Jan. 1, will apply to destinations within one and half miles of downtown Chapel Hill. A rate of $6 or $8 will depend on how far passengers travel. Outside the flat-rate zone, taxi drivers can either charge the proposed rate of $2.50 per mile or choose to use a meter. In both zones, there will be a $2 charge for each passenger after the first two.
Former Student Body President Mary Cooper petitioned the council in October 2011 to consider an ordinance for a flat-rate taxi program. Student Body President Will Leimenstoll has continued to support the program. Its not about me. Its not about Mary. Its about trying to do something thats good for the student body, he said. Leimenstoll, who spoke at Mondays council meeting, said his primary concern was student safety and taxi affordability. Were used to Chapel Hill being a very walkable town, but a place can only be so walkable for a student at night, he said. I would hate for a student to decide to walk home from Franklin Street one night for a really long walk just because the taxi system is unpredictable. Councilman Gene Pease said he appreciated that the ordinance came about because of a
student-driven initiative. Anything we can do to make it safer and easier for the students is, frankly, an easy decision, he said. UNC senior Lauren Brown said shes concerned about the frequency of assaults in town, and she thinks a taxi is a safe alternative to walking alone. Im sure that will make students more likely to use a taxi, she said. If I lived farther off campus, I would definitely use it. But senior Myca San Miguel said she would prefer it if taxis used a meter. Its just more fair charging for how far we go, which is how it should be, she said. Lesley Parr, owner of Time To Go Taxi, said he thinks there should be higher fares and fewer regulations. He is worried he wont make as much money under the new ordinance. Chapel Hill-Carrboro is an exclusive place
where people love to walk and ride bikes and dont take taxicabs, which means there are less taxicabs available, Parr said. I would think a higher rate would be expected because theres less business. But James Mangum, owner of Tar Heel Taxi, said he doesnt expect the ordinance to impact his business because the new rates are close enough to the rates he already charges. Pease said he understands that some of the regulations like a 10 cent cost per grocery bag are confusing, but he expects they will be simplified in the future. If we feel a need to make it simpler based on feedback from people using it, then well do that, he said. But I think it was very well-crafted and well-researched.

Hip-hop artist Elle Varner is best known for her song Only Wanna Give it to You, featuring J. Cole. And J. Cole only wanted to give the opening spot of his UNC concert to her. Varner will open for J. Cole at UNCs 2012 Homecoming concert Nov. 4 in Carmichael Arena, the Carolina Union Activities Board announced Tuesday via Twitter. Tickets for the concert went on sale Tuesday at noon. Mackenzie Collins, a freshman who waited for a ticket, said she is excited for Varner to open for J. Cole. Shes a good choice because theyll probably sing their song together, Collins said. While students queued for tickets, Elle Varner, a CUAB officials tweeted hints about hip-hop artist, will who the concert opener would be. At only 23, this LA natives open for J. Cole at UNCs homecoming first single peaked at #20 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop concert, CUab announced tuesday. chart, one tweet read. Students who guessed correctly were entered into a drawing for a free ticket. Kimmy Summers, chairwoman for CUABs major events committee, said a few students have said they are now more likely to attend because Varner will be opening. Quite few people guessed who she was, so that shows she has an audience on campus, she said. Tom Low, CUABs president, said the major events committee presented J. Coles management with a list of potential openers. We were not able to consider all student choices because part of the J. Cole contract said that hed get to choose (the opening act). Low said CUAB has received positive feedback from students about the concert. Varner is a good add-on, but we still think J. Cole is the main attraction, he said. Summers said Varners name appeared in surveys CUAB conducted last year when searching for a 2012 Homecoming Concert act. We try to have diverse programs, trying to attract different audiences on campus. Staff writer Sierra Wingate-Bey contributed reporting Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

While violent protests against an anti-Islam YouTube video have cropped up recently in the Middle East, UNC is attempting to lead by example peacefully. The words, We want peace in the Middle East echoed in Polk Place in a peaceful protest of more than 20 students promoting religious tolerance and condemning the violent reaction that has erupted globally to the film The Innocence of Muslims. The film portrays Islam as a violent and anti-Christian religion and depicts the Prophet Muhammad as tyrannical and promiscuous. The film was released under the direction of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a Coptic Christian and resident of California. Sophomore Trevor Dougherty came up with the idea to organize the protest on Sunday and publicized it on Facebook and Twitter.
Dougherty said he believes UNC has the power to inspire a national movement for peace and diplomacy. My goal is for people in the Middle East to hear about this protest and for one less person to die due to our message of peace and tolerance, Dougherty said. We want to fight the misunderstanding, hatred and violence that this film has created. The film has resulted in violent protests in the Middle East, North Africa and Asia due to its offensive content. U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in a protest attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. UNCs protesters stressed the film is an inaccurate portrayal of the Islamic faith, and that they believe many Americans do not agree with its content. Dougherty said he hopes others will follow his approach. The protesters also condemned ignorance toward other cultures. I think it will raise awareness and
help to promote tolerance, sophomore Katie Harp said. As students and adults, it is important to promote acceptance, because we are the future of America. The protesters bowed their heads at the end of the protest for a moment of silence to remember those who have been killed as a result of the violence. Sophomore Ahmad Saad said he hopes more students will join the cause. While we were all out here, it was great, Saad said. But in the future, for this cause and otherwise, I hope that more people come out and join and help it to become bigger instead of waiting for something else huge to happen, Saad said. Dougherty said he was pleased with the turnout, and he hopes students will continue to advocate for tolerance. If the violence continues, then we will likely continue protests and demonstrations.

Imagine that a show starring Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga was so strange and revolutionary that the audience hurled stones and started riots. This is the analogy that Severine Neff, a UNC proat 100 fessor in the music department, used to describe the magnitude of Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinskys 1913 ballet The Rite of Spring. Carolina Performing Arts is celebrating the centennial anniversary of the ballet with The Rite of Spring at 100, featuring multiple performances inspired by it. But the focus on the controversial work extends beyond the stage and into the classroom. The art, music, communication and English departments at UNC have created 15 courses that incorporate the performances and ideas of The Rite

of Spring at 100. The idea is that The Rite of Spring cant be defined to a person sitting in Memorial Hall, Neff said. If youre a sculptor, its your piece of marble, and we talk about that piece of marble. The courses, which range from Avant-Garde Film to Digital Puppet Animation, all share common roots in the principles of modernism and literature. Erin Carlstons course, Literature and the Other Arts, is designed around the culture of modernism and The Rite of Spring. The course curriculum examines four texts in the context of visual art, music and dance in Europe and America. Her students study authors like T.S. Eliot and Marcel Proust, as well as modernist pieces of art, including paintings, music and ballet. Carlston said professors are seeking to reveal trends across different facets of art and academia while integrating guest speakers and performances related to The Rite of Spring. In the majority of these classes, students are required to attend and write about one of CPAs The Rite of Spring at 100 performances, which they

the class to a friend. John McGowan, who organized The Rite of Spring at 100 courses, said he contacted specific professors and asked if they would participate.

A North Carolina child is one of about 30 people nationwide who have been infected by salmonella in a recent outbreak linked to Trader Joes, a national chain of grocery stores. Chapel Hills Trader Joes, along with the stores other U.S. locations, recalled Trader Joes Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter on Saturday, a Sunland Inc. product that is possibly linked to the outbreak. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are still investigating the cause of the outbreak. Nineteen states have reported cases so far. Katalin Coburn, spokeswoman at Sunland Inc., said
the recall process started Friday when the FDA and CDC informed the company that the peanut butter had been linked to cases of Salmonella. Twelve of the 14 infected people interviewed by the CDC reported having eaten the Trader Joes peanut butter in the week before becoming ill. Children younger than 10 account for 63 percent of the 30 reported cases, four of which have led to hospitalization. People infected with Salmonella can see symptoms such as diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. Most people do not need treatment. Coburn said this strain, known as salmonella bredeney, is very rare. The particular strain ... Center for Higher Education Policy, a conservative-leaning group funded by Pope. But Jay Schalin, director of state policy analysis for the center, said Pope will not have disproportionate input. He is just one more member of the board, Schalin said. He added that Pope takes a relatively hands-off approach to operations at the center named after his father. Schalin said the strategic plan represents an opportunity to maximize efficiency during a time of scarce resources. The goal is not to destroy education in light of the state having less money to appropriate, he said. Alsous said students want the committee to hold statewide town halls and extend the deadline for the plans completion beyond January. Board member Dudley Flood said he expects there to be vigorous discussion. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com. McMahan said in late October, the distillery will release an age-your-own whiskey set with a two liter American oak cask, three bottles of unaged whiskey, a funnel and a glass. Because of the high surface area to volume ratio of the two liter cask, the whiskey should take only four to five months of aging to acquire the taste of two-year-old whiskey, McMahan said. TOPO is also working with The Daily Tar Heel to produce an app that locates establishments selling TOPO products in the area. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com.
is particularly cunning and extremely difficult to really detect, Coburn said. Sunland Inc. is working hand-in-hand with the FDA and the CDC in the investigation. About 75 of the companys other almond butter and peanut butter products have been recalled in stores nationwide. The recall is a precautionary measure because the products were all manufactured at the same New Mexico location. None of the other products have been linked to the outbreak. Julie Henry, spokeswoman for the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, said people can get salmonella from many different places, typically through under-cooked poultry, ground beef and eggs.
We have salmonella all the time in North Carolina, she said. Most of the time, the outbreaks in North Carolina are due to cross-contamination. Henry said the last largescale salmonella outbreak in the state was in Asheville in April, where at least 34 people were infected. Smiling Hara Tempeh, located in Asheville, recalled its soybean tempeh after it was linked to Ashevilles outbreak, which was caused by cross-contamination. But Coburn said the Sunland factorys condition means cross-contamination is likely not a cause in this recent outbreak. Durham resident Sandy Smith-Nonini said she is concerned about becoming a victim of this outbreak or one in the future. I know the corporations

If someone is a major donor, it is likely they are not going to disagree with them, said Zaina Alsous, a member of UNC-CHs chapter of the Student Power Union.

Cole is definitely worth it, said senior Ghezal Rashid. Low said the price of tickets corresponds to the artists name recognition. The prices are fair based on the artist we have contracted, he said.

Cole after last years choice of The New Pornographers sold only 700 tickets of the 4,500 they said were available. We felt that we owed the student body a better act, said Chris Keyes, CAAs homecoming chairman. Low said of the 4,700 tickets available this year, about 2,000 tickets were sold Tuesday.

of the ticket line Tuesday. Sophomore Anhthu Vuong stood in line from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to get her ticket.

Its like she lived there. Chad Hedgepeth said hes still shocked by her death. A lot of things about it still dont seem real, he said. Im kind of afraid Im gonna get knocked out one day and its all going to hit me. Both Chad and Roland Hedgepeth have said police have told the family little information about what happened to Faith Hedgepeth that night. Roland Hedgepeth said the lack of knowing makes it

The recordings also said someone had been in the apartment. Five search warrants were sealed prospectively in the case from Sept. 7 to Sept. 11 at the request of Chapel Hill police. Whether the sealing orders have an expiration date is still unknown. The 911 call made to police has also been sealed, according to police and emergency communications officials. Sgt. Josh Mecimore, spokesman for the Chapel Hill Police Department, said in previous interviews that the documents were sealed to protect the integrity of the investigation. He said releasing too many details could impede polices ability to find suspects. A $29,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest in the case.

A recent study by Yale University deepens concerns of the academic community including UNC-CH professors that gender inequality remains a problem in science fields. The study, released last week, emphasized the need to address subconscious stereotypes that affect the employment of female scientists. Researchers at Yale divided 127 professors from universities nationwide into two groups to review identical applications that had been randomly assigned names one group received
female applicants and the other males. But the male applicants received higher competency scores and would have received more job offerings, less mentoring time and average salaries almost $4,000 higher than their female counterparts. Not only did professors of all ages and fields of study rate the male applicant higher so did professors of both genders. The fact that both male and female faculty showed the effect gets to the fact that these are very pervasive and common stereotypes about who is the best scientist, said Corinne MossRacusin, a social psychology professor at Yale and coauthor of the study. William Kier, chairman of the UNC-CH biology department, said gender equality is a common worry in science departments.
He said female professors would not compose even half of the biology department unless the University hired only females from now until 2023, according to a model developed by the department. The whole issue of ensuring we have a faculty that represents our students is very difficult, Kier said. Recent literature suggests that female associate professors tend to be associate professors significantly longer than males. Associate professors are only one promotion away from full tenure. In response to concerns raised by previous studies, Kier said that in November 2010 the biology department implemented a mentoring program specifically to help associate professors qualify for tenure. Were still not where we should be, and we have lots and
lots of problems, but were working at it, Kier said. Senior UNC-CH biology major Emily Simon said that though shes had a similar number of male and female biology professors, physics and chemistry classes tended to be more maledominated. Historically there have always been significant female biologists (for girls to look up to), so maybe thats why, Simon said. I cant name any famous female physicists. Moss-Racusin also emphasized the need for students to have mentors for advice and encouragement. Theres going to be good and bad days, Moss-Racusin said. If you have a passion for science, I would just not give up. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.
dth/mark perry Erskine Bowles (left) and Alan Simpson (right) give a frank talk at Wake Forest University about the nations multitrillion dollar debt.
Former UNC-system President Erskine Bowles continued to call for a bipartisan push to reduce the $16-trillion national deficit during a speech at Wake Forest University Tuesday. Bowles, who led the system from 2006 to 2010 and served as former President Bill Clintons chief of staff, partnered with former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson to present The American Debt and Deficit Crisis: Issues and Solutions. The program, which filled the 2,250-seat Wait Chapel on Wake Forests campus, is part of the Campaign to Fix the Debt, a national effort led by Bowles and Simpson. Bowles and Simpson have worked as a team since 2010, when President Barack Obama asked them to chair the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The one-year commission sought to
reduce the national debt by $4 trillion in a decade. Although the commissions work featured equal support from Republican and Democratic members, many of its recommendations were not passed in Congresss final budget in 2011. Gradual but effective deficit reduction is essential, Bowles told the audience. He outlined the ideas behind the Simpson-Bowles Plan, which includes cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and defense spending, as well as tax code reforms. We need to reduce the size of the government down to what it was during the Bill Clinton administration, he said. Bowles noted that all of the money spent in the past year on infrastructure, education and research in the U.S. was borrowed, mostly from foreign countries. These deficits are like a cancer, he said. Simpson said the public has trouble conceiving the magnitude of the countrys debt. Nobody understands what a trillion is,
Simpson said. Bowles praised Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who was in attendance, for his ability to put politics aside and work across party lines in the deficit reduction debate. Richard has been a real leader for this state, Bowles said. Burr affirmed his commitment to working for bipartisan compromise in Congress to reduce the debt no matter which presidential candidate wins this November. The 2,000 people here were just exposed to a reality (about the deficit). The timeline is short, the mission is hard, but its got to be done, now, he said in an interview. Wake Forest senior Tyler Slezak said even though hes a Republican, he found it refreshing to hear two parties have such a constructive discussion. They were giving people real solutions, Slezak said.

Police investigate string Roper stresses medical policy The medical school of toyota car thefts dean spoke Tuesday
Chapel Hill police said 16 Toyota thefts have occurred this year.
By Daniel Schere
Staff Writer
A Chapel Hill police investigation launched this spring about a string of stolen Toyota vehicles has stalled, police officials said Tuesday. Sgt. Josh Mecimore, spokesman for the Chapel Hill Police Department, said 16 thefts have occurred since January three of them this month. Police began the investigation after eight thefts occurred in March and April. Mecimore said he doesnt know if this months thefts are connected to the those from last spring. The stolen models have all been about 10 to 15 years old. Mecimore said people often steal cars and sell the parts for profit. In this age range, the value of the individual parts is greater than the vehicle itself, he said. Mecimore added that Raleigh and Durham have
also seen a marked increase in car thefts, and Toyotas are popular cars to steal. In 2011, there were more than 1,000 thefts reported in the Durham-Chapel Hill metropolitan area. Frank Scafidi, spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau, said Toyota is one of the most commonly stolen car brands. Toyotas and Hondas top our list every year, he said. The Toyota Camry has been on the bureaus list of most commonly stolen cars since 2007. The Toyota Corolla was one of the most stolen cars in North Carolina in 2011. Six of the stolen Toyotas in Chapel Hill were Corollas. Scafidi said people are often motivated to steal Toyotas because they are reliable and well made. He said the motive to sell parts is very common, especially in cases where the cars are not recovered. You know you just scratch your head and say, Who would want a 1998 Toyota? he said. Thats part of whats driving the auto theft. Scafidi said he doesnt think the thefts in Chapel

Freshmen interested in medicine were challenged Tuesday night to learn more about the American health care system and work for change in the future. Dr. Bill Roper, dean of the School of Medicine and CEO of the UNC Health Care system, presented The Future of Medicine as part of the First Year Fellows lecture series. Roper emphasized the need for medical students to understand government policy in order to excel in the field of medicine. I hope that those of you interested in medicine are not perturbed (by these issues), Roper said. Rather, I hope you see this as an opportunity to pursue medicine and get involved in these wider issues of national and public policy that are so important. Roper said a false perception about American health care is that people eventually get all of the care they need. He said individuals without health insurance are
Hill pose a serious risk to the community, though people should practice caution to avoid being targeted. We see a lot of thefts where students leave valuables on the seat and have them stolen through the door or the window, he said. Mecimore said students should be careful where they park especially if they are in a remote area at night. Police are asking drivers to park their vehicles in well-lit areas or locked garages, and to not leave items in plain sight that may attract thieves. People with information about the car thefts can call the Chapel Hill Police or Chapel Hill-Carrboro-UNC Crimestoppers at (919) 9427515. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com.
slower in seeking care and are ultimately worse off when they receive treatment. Given these problems, Roper said that it is the substantial changes the way the system is organized, doctors are paid and services are rendered that need to be focused on. We are not going to have sweeping change in health care, he said. Rather, we are going to have incremental changes year after year that I hope will take us in the right direction in order to fix the problems I am trying to highlight. Freshman Taylor Capito, who said she wants to be a biology major, said she agreed with Roper. Even though I see that our health care system has negatives, if we were to change everything at once, it would not benefit the system, she said. Roper said another false assertion that is commonly accepted is that America has the worlds best health care, and all physicians provide optimal care. While some individuals do receive high-quality medical care, the U.S. health care system is only ranked 37th in the world, he said. Roper said even the UNC
dth/johnny dunn Dr. Bill Roper spoke to freshmen about a future career in medicine Tuesday.
Health Care system has room to improve. We dont do nearly as well as we know we should be doing in giving every person the best care possible, he said. Freshman Nainisha Chintalapudi, a health policy management major, said she enjoyed Ropers speech. I think that a lot of things are bound to change in the next couple of years, she said. It is ultimately the upcoming generation who will have a voice in how the health care system is run. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

the idea of corporal punishment; at issue was the question of who gets to administer it, specifically can an adult male swat young girls? The entire issue went on the school board agenda after two parents recently complained that a male vice principal had paddled their daughters, in apparent violation of the districts policy that calls for the staffer and the student to be of the same gender. I have tried to be very professional and not personal about it, said a tearful Anna Jorgensen, whose daughter was one of those who was paddled, according to WFFA, a television station that has been following the dispute. Last week, Jorgensen told the station that her daughters bottom had been bruised by the punishment. Another mother, Cathi Watt, then came forward and complained that her daughters bottom had also been bruised.

dth/spencer herlong Sophomore Mikey Lopez scored the game-winner in the 103rd minute Tuesday at Fetzer Field.
Barely more than 15 minutes into Tuesday nights game against Wofford, the North Carolina mens soccer team lost a prolific scorer to a red card and saw its team captain writhing on the ground in pain. Captain Jordan Gafa would remain in the game despite an MCL strain. Andy Craven, the red-carded forward, would not. It was an undeniably inauspicious beginning to the evening but, as it turned out, it would pave the way for a sweet, redemptive end. With the contest still scoreless in a second period of overtime, midfielder Cameron Brown fired a missile off the fingertips of diving Wofford goalkeeper Andrew Drennan in the 103rd minute. In a mad scramble for the rebound, speedy UNC midfielder Mikey Lopez was the first to reach the ball, giving it the last push it needed to seal a Tar Heel win. I just finished the part. It was all Cam, Lopez said. He did an amazing job on the ball. He snaked that guy bad, and the guy bit I just had to get there before the goalkeeper got it. The Tar Heels ran to mob Lopez near the left side of
goal to celebrate. Rewind to the 16th minute of the game, and the situation seemed far bleaker. Craven was issued a red card and ejected from the game after a Wofford player found himself on the ground. Per NCAA rules, Craven will miss the teams next game at Duke. And its safe to say UNC coach Carlos Somoano wasnt happy with the call. I was looking straight at it, and I was very disappointed, Somoano said. The guy kind of wrapped him up and was holding him from running through, and (Craven) was literally just trying to break free. If he did that on purpose, then I tell you, I will fly to the moon tomorrow. Somoano said he told his players to treat Cravens absence as an opportunity. And he said he thought the Tar Heels responded admirably. Thats one thing that we try to build into the guys, and its been a work in progress this year: Just stay calm, Somoano said. Its an unfortunate call. Some days it rains. Some days it snows. Some days its sunny. Well deal with it. Down one man, the Tar Heels struggled to finish off any offensive attack for much

of the contest. But as the game neared its end, Lopez was UNCs main aggressor. He fired his first shot of the game in the second half, another in the first overtime period and two more in the last. Mikey was exceptional tonight, Somoano said. Hes playing at a whole different level than hes ever played at Carolina. After the game Lopez was all smiles, joking with his teammates that he needed to fix his hair before doing postgame interviews. Given the way the game started, that reaction was certainly justified. It was a great feeling to win the game, Lopez said. Such a tough game with 10 men, so it was an amazing feeling. I just wanted to get that goal. I just wanted to get that win for us. I guess my aggressiveness paid off at the end. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.
For the No. 2 North Carolina field hockey team, Tuesdays matchup against Davidson was all about getting back to its defensive fundamentals. As the final whistle blast sounded on the 6-0 win, it was evident the Tar Heels completed their task. In its two weekend games, UNC allowed five goals, nearly doubling the total number it had allowed in earlier games. But in 70 minutes of play against Davidson, the Wildcats only managed one shot. Weve been trying to focus on getting back and getting turned early, coach Karen Shelton said. And I think we did a better job. I think this weekend got our attention that we need to be more disciplined on defense. The Wildcats earned three penalty corners but still couldnt generate much offense. The shutout was UNCs fourth of the season and first since a 10-0 trouncing of Villanova in early September. That was one of our goals going into the game, sophomore forward Loren Shealy said. We wanted to keep them out of our end of the field as much as we could and really work on our defensive marking, and I think we did that for the most part, especially in the first half. UNCs strong fundamental defense allowed the teams offense to dominate most of

the game. We just wanted to work the ball around them because we knew that they would be swarming the ball because thats just what teams tend to do, senior defender Caitlin Van Sickle said. The Tar Heels racked up 24 shots, with 22 of them on frame. North Carolina also drew nine penalty corners and capitalized on two opportunities. Shealy scored off the penalty corner in the 9th minute of the game. The Charlotte native scored again just more than three minutes later by deflecting an incoming pass from senior midfielder Kelsey Kolojejchick to the cage. A lot of the people I played with in high school are on that team, so a lot of the parents were fans, Shealy said. It was just fun to have a good game so close to home. Another Charlotte product, senior midfielder Katie Plyler scored a first-half goal. Plyler scored when she controlled a rebound after Davidson goalie Sarah Fisher saved a shot from senior forward Katie Ardrey. The goal was Plylers second of the season. The Tar Heels scored five goals in the opening half but slowed down in the second

half with their only goal coming from junior forward Rachel Magerman late in the game. Magermans goal was the first of her career and came from a penalty stroke in the 65th minute. Magermans goal helped the Tar Heels win both halves something that has been a focal point of the season. We did, we won both halves, Shelton said. The scoring wasnt balanced, we scored more in the first half than in the second, but we certainly played everybody on the team, gave everybody a chance. Im proud to get the shutout.

If theres only one defender between an opponent with the ball and goalkeeper Scott Goodwin the North Carolina mens soccer team wants it to be the guy wearing No. 4. The roster says thats Boyd Okwuonu. But none of his teammates or coaches call him that. He goes by O.C., which is short for his African name Obunikechukwu. Boyd was the name given to him by the nurse that helped deliver him because his parents had recently moved from Nigeria and didnt know many American names. Whatever hes called, hes also called good. What special about O.C. is hes extremely driven and he showed up here, coach Carlos Somoano said after UNCs 1-0 overtime win against Wofford Tuesday night. Its a good example of when you have some talent and ability and you really work at it and do the right thing you get the reward. And he deserves a lot of recognition in my opinion. That ability was on full display in the second half against Wofford even as the Tar Heels played a man down after Andy Craven was sent off early in the match. With 26 minutes to go and the game still scoreless, Terrier forward Dennis Moore broke into some open space and made a charge on the goal. But a couple of jab steps
dth file/spencer herlong Sophomore Boyd Okwuonu, known by his teammates as O.C., is one of North Carolinas most dominating one-on-one defenders.
wouldnt fool Okwuonu, and when Moore tried to fire on goal, the Tar Heel defender met him with a well-timed tackle that deflected the ball away and kept the game level. Those are the kind of situations that the sophomore lives for. I love that responsibility, he said. I love having that on my back. Basically you just stay calm, focused its a mental thing. I just enjoy it. I like being in control and thats what Im good at. I take it to my advantage. Though he admitted that the pressure of playing down a player is shared by the whole team, it is especially tough on the defense. We run a little bit more weve got to be smarter with everything because they take advantage of that and put an extra man forward, he said. We just have to adapt to hav-
ing a man down, which were able to do. Like I said, Im ready for the responsibility. Goodwin, who has now registered three consecutive shutouts, said hes never really seen a player as good in one-on-one situations as Okwuonu has been so far this season. Hes not only an incredible athlete; hes also just very smart, Goodwin said. His positioning is always spot on and that really, as a defender, is half the battle. Hes always in the right spot so hes able to get that quick jump on the ball. The way hes able to get side-to-side, really read the attacker, which way hes going to go, and hes able to do all of it winning the ball cleanly. Contact the desk editor at sports@dailytarheel.com.

magine being born in a rural area with limited resources to help you get ahead in life. You only made it to the seventh grade because you had to drop out of school to help provide for your family. Now you have a family of your own, and you have to provide for them as well. What do you do when you know your situation will not improve as long as you stay where you are? Your only option is to migrate to a country you know nothing about except that you might be able to find a job to provide for your family. Imagine having to leave everyone you know behind: your mother, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and even your children. My dad left Guatemala in 1991 in order to provide for our family. After living in different parts of the U.S. as a migrant worker, he eventually settled in Siler City to work in the local poultry plant. My mother and I came when I was 6 years old. We came because to survive in a poverty-stricken country you must either be born into a wealthy or educated family. We didnt come because we wanted to; rather, poverty and the lack of resources we faced in Guatemala forced us to come. We couldnt apply for visas because visas are nearly impossible to acquire if you lack an education. That is, unless you are a highly-skilled worker or are wealthy, the U.S. government doesnt think you will benefit the country or the economy. Even without proper documentation, I have been paying taxes since the day I moved here. I have been economically contributing to my community, like everyone in the country, whether I am a citizen or not. I have been living here for more than 14 years and have never gotten in trouble with law enforcement. I went through the education system and excelled academically in high school. Over the course of my life, I have devoted myself to making sure that I can help others. I have translated for Spanish speaking parents at teacher-parent conferences, sang Christmas carols at retirement homes, was class president of my class in high school, organized a mentoring program at the local elementary school and advocated for accurate sexual health education in North Carolina. Regardless of the way I came here, I know I am a part of this country and have contributed to the betterment of my community. Although no one chooses where in the world he or she is born, migration is an inherent human right. It is in our instinct to better ourselves and those around us. To what extent would you go to provide for your family? Would you cross borders to have a better future? As UNC students and the next generation of leaders, we must understand why people migrate to this country. We will be making the policy decisions and driving the debate, so we mustnt forget the human face of the issue.

t the last UNCsystem Association of Student Governments meeting, campus mental health services were a prominent point of discussion. Our University has strong programs available through Counseling and Wellness Services at Campus Health. However, UNC should more actively promote and market its services to students to change the campus culture and stigma regarding mental health issues. This fall, the University removed the cap on the
amount of brief therapy sessions available for students. The cap was previously at between six and eight sessions. The updated policy does not require a co-pay for student sessions. The sessions are funded by student fees. Still, students needing long-term therapy will be referred to a community provider, so they can build a strong relationship with their counselor after receiving an initial evaluation from Counseling and Wellness. Counseling and Wellness is shifting resources as it prepares for the increase in students using the sessions. Last year, 12 percent of students on campus uti-
lized the available services. That is just roughly half of the amount of students who admitted they have suffered from such terrible depression they found it difficult to function. Events, like the World Health Organizations World Suicide Prevention Day, should be heavily promoted on campus. This year, the day passed by without much publicity. The school cant change the culture alone. Students must work with their friends and peers to open dialogue and create awareness. Mental illness is treatable. There is help available, but not enough students know about the options the University offers.
our education affordable and knows first-hand who we are: Students of the flagship public university of the nation. I believe that he has made this decision on his own and deserves to be left alone. He will continue to make this amazing University even better for everyone once he steps down; I have no doubt about that. Sometimes a new head and new ideas will make this place even better. Im sure people wish Dean Smith stayed longer, but despite how much success he brought to our basketball team, Im sure all of you will agree that we love Roy just as much. Im sure he has spent long and hard hours making this decision and I trust his judgement. I didnt doubt him when he increased our endowment. I didnt doubt him when he made our schools ranking internationally known. And I know I dont doubt his most recent decision. For everything Thorp has done for us, I believe he deserves peace and to be left to his own devices (e.g. a Rubiks cube). Kyle Pridgen 12 Chemistry
