Cultivating a good food culture Kupec

returns travel funds

By Nicole Comparato
University Editor

The former fundraiser spent about $17,000 in University funds, a UNC audit found.
Former fundraising director Matt Kupec has reimbursed UNC nearly $17,000 for personal charges he made during his fundraising trips on the Universitys dime. An internal audit released Tuesday revealed that Kupec, who was vice chancellor for University advancement for 16 years, charged $16,973.10 to the UNC-Chapel Hill foundation throughout 14 trips. The trip records lacked proper business-related evidence or reimbursement receipts, said Phyllis Petree, director of internal audit. Questioned costs ranged from a $5 gift shop purchase in Boston to almost $2,700 spent in New York City on lodging, airfare and meals.

the local Food Day celebration. She said her goal was to bring attention to how food issues play out within Orange County. We want to raise awareness and then encourage people to act on that awareness, she said. Despite the positive local food culture, some parts of the county still have limited access to healthy food. Pam Diggs, health promotion coordinator for the Orange County Health Department, said two areas in Orange County qualify as food deserts, meaning residents have little to no access to nutritious food options. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 79.8 percent of people living on the Universitys campus are both low-income and have low access to healthy food. The Orange County Health Department is helping encourage healthy lifestyles with its Eat Smart, Move More campaign. With some grants from the state, we are working to find out where the fresh, local stuff is concentrated, Diggs said. Since the beginning of this fiscal year, weve been collecting information from markets and

A food desert is defined as a low-income area where a substantial amount of residents also have low access to a supermarket or large grocery store, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

WhAT IS A FOOD DESERT?

Ten years ago, John Soehner quit his job as an occupational therapy assistant, bought a tractor and learned to grow organic food. Today he and his family grow more than 60 varieties of vegetables and raise roosters and pigs at Eco Farm, one of Orange Countys best known organic farms. We started farming because we needed money, Soehner said. Ten years later, were not driving around in Maseratis, but we make ends meet. Today, Chapel Hill will celebrate the importance of sustainable, local foods like Soehners during national Food Day. Coordinators of Chapel Hills Food Day say they hope to spread knowledge of healthy food through a variety of events, including a farmers market in Polk Place. There are so many organizations and individuals doing incredible work to promote access to healthy food for all community members, said Alison Doernberg, a masters of public health candidate at UNC and a co-coordinator of

There are five different areas of Orange County that are considered food deserts. They include an area running from the southern end of the Universitys campus to Estes Drive, as well as a 6,000-person area of Hillsborough. These areas have both low-income residents and little access to major grocery stores.

For graduate students, cost worries fester

Out-of-state students from battleground states

NEVADA: 6 WISCONSIN: 23 IOWA: 7 MICHIGAN: 22 OHIO: 96

For some out-of-state UNC students, N.C. is not the only battleground state where they can register to vote. Several students have residencies in other battleground states, including Florida and Virginia. Real Clear Politics classi es the purple states as toss-ups.

NEW HAMPSHIRE: 13

While the affordability of a UNC undergraduate education has been the subject of much debate, the Universitys graduate schools are also facing similar questions with further tuition increases looming. Tuition and fees have more than doubled for instate graduate students during the past 10 years, and increased by more than 65 percent for out-of-state graduate students. But despite the increases, the minimum stipend of $14,700 for teaching and research assistants in all graduate departments has remained fixed since 2009. Administrators are considering a 6.5 percent tuition increase for all graduate students and out-of-state undergraduates for the 2013-14 year. A $600 increase has already been approved for in-state undergraduates. For in-state graduate students, a 6.5 percent increase would mean a $509 tuition increase, and a $1,555 increase for out-of-state graduate students increases that students are concerned will hurt UNCs ability to recruit.

see TUITION, Page 4

Before UNCs estimated 3,100 out-of-state undergraduate students decide whether to vote in this falls election, they must first answer a crucial question where to vote. These students have the option to register with either their home address or their on-campus address, and their choice ELECTIONS might be swayed by the state in which they perceive their vote will have a greater impact. While some students hail from states that tend to lean toward one party, North Carolina is a battleground state in the presidential election. Darrin Benjumea, a sophomore from New Jersey, registered to vote in North Carolina for that exact reason. I feel like New Jersey always goes blue, while North Carolina

f youre trick-or-treating in Carrboro, beware of new organic candy trends. Various candy companies are making treats that are better for you, just in time for the dentists favorite holiday, Halloween. How do you make candy healthy, you ask? Well you just take out the transfats, corn syrup, artificial flavors and fake colors, and cut some of the sugar out. What does that leave the child who has been waiting a year to fill a pillowcase with corn syrup, transfats and artificial flavors? Snobby fruit flavors with added fiber, meaning they probably taste like tree bark and/ or cardboard. So kids, find the lady with the caramel apples and cling to her.

Playmakers brings edgy comedy about health care

By Elizabeth Baker
Staff Writer

While Americans voice their opinions about health care in the current election, PlayMakers Repertory Company is also casting its vote against excessive medication. PlayMakers world premiere of David Balls adaptation of Imaginary Invalid opens tonight. The classic play was originally written by 17th-century French playwright Moliere. The production, directed by Dominique Serrand, focuses on a rich hypochondriac who surrounds himself with a host of phony medical experts. The show is one of two original productions commissioned by PlayMakers this season. Joseph Haj, producing artistic director for PlayMakers, said he had been in talks with Serrand to produce a show for a few years. It took us a couple of years to find the right project, Haj said. When the idea for Imaginary Invalid came around, Haj said he knew it was the right fit.

I just think its such an amazing moment to do this play, Haj said. Serrand said while the play is not specifically about health care, it considers the many ways in which people turn to medication even when not necessary. Ball said he adapted Molires famous play to make it relevant for todays audience. Now people are being treated for a disease they have never heard of, for symptoms they never had until they hear of them, Ball said. Steven Epp, who plays the titular invalid in the show, said he identifies with his character. Im always slightly on the verge of thinking I have something, Epp said. I understand that paranoia. The plot of Imaginary Invalid exploits the tendency to depend on medicine, providing insight into human nature. Its about a very deep-seeded human nature that says there must be something wrong with me, so I need doctors and I need pills, Ball said. While the play explores some political

issues, Serrand said the primary purpose of the play is to make people laugh. Epp said it can be tricky to work with comedy about weighty subjects such as medicine and health care especially in the current political climate. Some of the best comedy comes from being right on the edge, Epp said. The key is that it stays playful. But Epp said that sometimes risks are worth taking. Theres always a little more excitement in the room it feels a little more dangerous. Contact the desk editor at arts@dailytarheel.com.

Students, faculty worried about diversity

University members held a forum Tuesday to talk about the systems plan.
By Mary Frances Buoyer
Staff Writer

University students and faculty gathered Tuesday to take advantage of their first opportunity to formally provide input for the UNC systems new strategic plan. They echoed a familiar concern: a lack of diversity on the plans advisory committee. The systems Advisory Committee on Strategic Directions is drafting the plan, which will determine budgetary and academic priorities, and will submit it to UNC-system President Thomas Ross in January. At the forum, which was held in

the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History, attendees raised concerns that the plans priorities will be misguided. Attendees broke up into groups at the end of the forum and discussed goals they want included in the plan. The results of these discussions will contribute to a platform to be submitted to the systems advisory committee, said Deborah Stroman, a lecturer and academic adviser in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science. William Race, a classics professor, said at the forum that hes concerned the committee has a narrow perspective, leaving the committee illequipped to address the vast needs of higher education. A report is one thing a living voice on the committee is another, he said. Race also criticized the three-

month time frame of the plans development. He said the most recent five-year plan, which was drafted over a longer one-year period, was more effective in meeting student and faculty concerns. Maria DeGuzman, an English professor, agreed that the brief time frame would be detrimental. (The short planning period) leaves the faculty and others concerned and suspicious, she said, adding that the time frame is too focused on efficiency, which will result in the loss of certain programs and positions. The liberal arts education should not be made subservient to the notion of getting a job, she said. One of the goals listed in the committees preliminary report is tailoring degree offerings to the states workforce needs. Art Pope, a committee member

and conservative political figure, attended the forum to express his willingness to discuss these issues. He has faced criticism from the N.C. Student Power Union, a group that is concerned Pope would cut education funding. There is documented support that I have defended public eduction, he said, adding that the student power unions perception is incorrect. It will provide momentum to share with the 16 schools of the UNC system, Stroman said. Joseph Jordan, Stone Center director, said the forum shouldnt sit back while the plan is created. We dont have to be so concerned that someone is going to bring on a vision that we dont share we have a vision, he said. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, a two-time presidential candidate and giant in the civil rights movement, will discuss the importance of early voting in a speech on campus Friday. The event, which will be held in Genome Sciences Building room G-100 at 2 p.m., will also focus on the impact young voters will have in the upcoming presidential election. He will encourage us to vote early and vote for the candidate we think will help move this country forward, said Alexis Davis, president of the Black Student Movement, in an email. Jackson is a Baptist minister Jesse Jackson is a and ran for the civil rights activist Democratic presand two-time presi- idential nominadential candidate. tion in 1984 and He will be speaking 1988. at UNC Friday. He is a famed civil rights leader who has seen more than most of us could imagine, Davis said. I can predict that he will speak about his time with (Martin Luther King Jr.) and the stressfulness of the 1950s and 1960s. Davis said the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs was contacted Monday to handle the event, but faculty groups could not be involved in planning. A representative from his office contacted several organizations on campus and asked if we could accommodate him, said Mycal Brickhouse, president of Carolina Men Advocating for Leadership Empowerment and Success. The event is hosted by BSM, Carolina M.A.L.E.S., Carolina Black Caucus, National Pan-Hellenic Council, Tar Heels for Obama and many other organizations. There are no costs associated with the event, and it will be free and open to the public, Davis said. Brickhouse said he hopes to spread the word through social media. We expect a variety of students as well as faculty members and campus community to attend, he said. Other universities and local media have also been contacted, Davis said. The auditorium seats 450, so I want it full, she said. Senior Autumn Rorrer said Jackson speaking on campus is exciting. I think its really good hes encouraging young voters to come out and vote in this election, she said. Theres not as much enthusiasm in this election compared to last.

Crothers brings Uganda to Bulls Head Bookshop

UNC lecturer tells the tale of a Ugandan chess prodigy in his new book.
By Kelly Parsons
Senior Writer

While performing at a speaking engagement on March 17, 2010 for one of the other two books hes authored, UNC journalism lecturer Tim Crothers was approached by a man in the crowd. He had a story idea to give him. Nine-hundred ninety nine times out of a thousand, that turns into a story about his uncle Ned and a big fish that he caught, Crothers said. But one time out of a thousand, it turns into a book. The story, which was summarized in a newsletter from the Sports Outreach Institute, was of a chess prodigy living in the slums of Uganda. More than two years later, its the subject of Crothers latest book, The Queen of Katwe. Crothers will hold a book signing on campus today. After holding speaking engagements for the book in California last week, the event is a homecoming for Crothers, a UNC alumnus. But the road Crothers has walked from that March day to the books release Oct. 9 has been a long one.

Crothers, a former Sports Illustrated senior writer, researched the story and pitched it to ESPN the Magazine. In September 2010, he traveled to Uganda and spent five days there with Phiona Mutesi, a 15-year-old girl who had risen from the throes of poverty to excel at chess. Crothers then spent two weeks with Phiona and her team as she competed in the World Chess Olympiad in Siberia. His article was published in ESPN the Magazine in January 2011. A finalist for an American Society of Magazine Editors award, Crothers story turned into a book contract that spring. During multiple visits to Uganda while writing and reporting for the book, Crothers interviewed more than 70 people to help him tell Phionas story of international recognition. In addition to telling her tale, Crothers also paints the picture of another actor. Enter Robert Katende. Its 5 a.m. in Kampala, Uganda, but his smile lights up the screen on Skype when he talks about Phiona and his new friend, Crothers. Katende, who taught Phiona how to play chess through his work at the Sports Outreach Institute, plays a big role in her story. The Queen of Katwe can be found in bookstores throughout the United States. In Uganda, it might

take a little longer for it to catch on. As it gets to be known and famous, I have hope that it might be included in the schools, Katende said. Katende helped Phiona discover her talent.

Still, the teenager hasnt fully grasped the concept of having a book written about her achievements. She doesnt understand why I, and maybe the rest of the world, are so interested in this, Crothers said. To her, its just the life she lives every day. On Saturday, Katende saw firsthand the difference chess and the publicity her talent has received because of Crothers book has made in her life.

UNC professor celebrates success

By Andy Willard
Staff Writer

organic farming

In the past decade, UNC professor Terry Magnuson has built an academic department and two research endeavors. He says its not the success that keeps him coming back its the people. Nevertheless, he received another accolade last week when he was elected into the Institute of Medicine along with UNC microbiology professor Myron Cohen. Terry is just a great scientist, and you get the sense that he does it for all the right reasons, said Mauro Calabrese, a postdoctoral fellow who works in Magnusons genetics research lab. Calabrese added that the environment in the lab is more like an extended family than a group of scientists. The Institute of Medicine is an independent nonprofit organization that works to make the public and private sectors more informed about medical sciences, health care and public care.

Election into the institute is considered one of the highest acclaims in the field of health and medicine. Nominees are elected by members of the Institute. More than 70 doctors and researchers across the nation received the award this year. To me, its quite an honor, Magnuson said. Magnuson has worked at UNC since 2000, when he came to lead a genome project that enlisted the help of departments across campus to apply research in practical ways. The thing that makes Terry so special is his incredible ability to bring people together from diverse and academic backgrounds, said biology professor Jeff Dangl. Dangl said that Magnusons extensive research efforts made the award long overdue. Magnuson led the creation of the UNC School of Medicines Department of Genetics, which he chairs. He also started the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences, as well as the Cancer Genetics Program

at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, which he directs. Dangl said that Magnuson is a strong team builder who has incorporated genetics into the School of Medicines curriculum with a unique approach. He is the point guard that runs the show, Dangl said. He added that the award will benefit the entire campus

because it will increase private donations and improve academic rankings. Magnuson said his lab team is instrumental to his success, adding that working with them is the highlight of his day. Thats what I love the most, working with these people, he said. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

stands. Diggs said for the next six months, each month would have a catchphrase that promotes health. For October, the phrase is Enjoy more fruits and veggies, Diggs said. We have more than 20 partners currently that advertise the phrases, including churches, schools and local businesses. Soehner said he is also passionate about increasing access to his organic produce. I grow organic, which is harder to do and more expensive, but its just the way I am, he said. Im no scientist, but Im willing to bet its healthier, and you dont kill anything to grow vegetables. Soehner, his wife Cindy Econopouly and their three children sell produce at farmers markets almost every day of the week. They also sell at the Carrboro Farmers Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We live in a great area to sell this stuff, he said. People around here are really into buying their food from the farmers market. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

kupec

Hansbroughs statement. Petree said the monthlong internal audit examined credit card charges, bills, receipts and anything they could find for both Kupec and Hansbrough. She said Hansbroughs records did not reflect lack of reimbursement. The ones that we questioned in that $17,000 were all charged by Mr. Kupec, Petree said.

Petree said the rest of Kupecs charges throughout the December 2008 to September 2012 audit period were appropriate. She added that several development officers seem to have misunderstood a foundation policy, believing they could charge personal expenses as long as they were refunded. She said this policy has now been changed. Petree said Kupec admitted the personal charges up front. He was rather forthcoming in his acknowledgment, she said. In his statement, Kupec cited the more than $4 billion he helped raise throughout his term as head fundraiser. This positive impact will remain forever, Kupec said.

theyre only here four years, Rietkerk said. A recent poll conducted by the Harvard University Institute of Politics found that young registered voters are less likely to vote in this years election compared to 2008 declining from 63 percent to 48 percent. But Rietkerk said shes not worried about voter disenchantment at UNC. (Voting is) such a critical part about being an American that I think people are really excited to do this, she said. Among the five most common out-of-state residencies for UNCs undergraduate students this year, Florida, with 398 students, and Virginia, with 270 students, were battleground states in 2008. The rest of the top five are New York, with 331 students, Maryland, with 272 students, and Georgia, with 261 students. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, California and South Carolina round out the top 10. Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania are listed as presidential toss up states for 2012 by Real Clear Politics, a website that aggregates polling results. Real Clear Politics changed North Carolinas status from toss up to leans Romney on Oct. 18. Romney leads by 5.6 percentage points in the state, according to an average of polls. Kenan Drum, chairman of UNC for Romney, said his organization encourages students to vote regardless of where they register. Weve seen a huge volunteer turnout from the youth base, said Drum. Were seeing much more excitement than we did in 2008. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

WORLD FAMOUS

History Ph.D. candidate Adam Domby said he has seen the value of the overall financial package offered to prospective graduate students lessen over the years. Nine years ago it was a good deal to go to UNC, he said. Now we have trouble recruiting students who have offers at other universities because were not as competitive when another university offers better funding. Michael Bertucci, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, said the power of a UNC degree is still a factor in students decisions, but finances also weigh heavily. We have to ask, How competitive are we in recruiting top graduate students in terms of giving them a good value for their education? he said. That could be part of the decision How much debt am I going to leave with, and how much am I going to make while at school? To ease financial burdens, between 1,500 and 2,000 graduate students apply for residency for in-state tuition each year, said Steve Matson, dean of the graduate school. About 90 percent of firstyear doctoral students in the graduate school are out-ofstate, Matson said.

But gaining residency can be a difficult process. It takes at least a year, and its not always cut and dry that youre going to get residency, Bertucci said. Its difficult to get that burden of proof to say you deserve to be a resident of the state. This semester, 56.3 percent of graduate students are instate, and 43.7 percent are out-of-state. There is also concern that while the 6.5 percent increase might seem the same for all graduate students, the increase for out-of-state students is about $1,000 more. The graduate school can provide tuition remission money that covers the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition for outof-state graduate students. And as the difference between the two increases every year, it has become more difficult for funds to totally cover it, Matson said. But Bruce Carney, executive vice chancellor and provost, said he is hopeful revenue from tuition increases will let UNC hire more graduate students as teaching assistants, allowing UNC to offer more small classes. We just have to keep our fingers crossed we dont get another budget cut, he said. Contact the desk editor at university@dailytarheel.com.

Chapel Hill couple bankrolls Blackbeard excavation

By Andy Bradshaw
Staff Writer

Its a pirates life for Eric and Rita Bigham. After attending a news conference in Beaufort on Friday at the North Carolina Maritime Museum, the Chapel Hill couple donated more than $30,000 to an unusual cause a shipwreck. Since the Queen Annes Revenge shipwreck site was discovered in 1996, Eric Bigham has been waiting for the right time to get involved. I had always wanted to help out with this effort, he said. So when we went to the program on Friday and

heard about the financial problems, we decided to jump in. The recovery site houses the remains of Blackbeards ship, Queen Annes Revenge, said Fay Mitchell, public affairs specialist for The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources. As a pirate, Blackbeard gained notoriety by violently robbing unsuspecting ships off the North Carolina coast during the early 18th century. The N.C. Department of Cultural Resources began raising money for the project in January, and the Bighams contribution brought them to the departments year-end goal of $450,000.

The Bighams donation will help fund artifact recovery efforts through 2014, said Jennifer Woodward, the assistant secretary of the department. Woodward said the couples donation came at an opportune time. We had to get all these artifacts up before 2014 so we can begin the process of conserving them, she said. Because of the generous donation, we are right on schedule and moving forward. She said nearly 280,000 artifacts have been recovered from the site, and the crew is more than halfway finished with the project.

The prospect of unearthing the pirates lost relics excited Eric Bigham, who found time to rekindle his fascination with maritime history after retiring from his career as a research scientist at Research Triangle Park. Eric Bigham said Rita a retired Carrboro Elementary School teacher also supports the project, but not with the same level of intensity. She is excited by virtue of my being (excited,) but not quite as enthusiastic, he joked. Eric Bigham said his interest in the project began when he started giving tours of historic sights in Beaufort, where

dth/maddi brantley Eric and Rita Bighams donation is going to assist recovery of artifacts from Blackbeards sunken ship off the N.C. coast.

the couple has a home. And he said he is excited to be a part of the projects future. History has always been a pastime of mine. To be able

to be a part of something that will uncover history is pretty great, he said. Contact the desk editor at city@dailytarheel.com.

UNC club football

UNC (3-2) will play at Radford University (4-0) in Dublin, Va., at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Second period slump hurts UNC ice hockey

HILLSBOROUGH A lackluster second period for the UNC club ice hockey team led to a 4-2 loss against the Duke Blue Devils in the teams last game on Oct. 10. The Tar Heels came out strong in the first period, scoring a goal and not allowing any. With 15 of his 46 recorded saves being in the first period, UNC senior goalkeeper Eric Murbach left Duke fans chanting lucky goalie. He was seeing the puck (to be) as big as a beach ball, said head coach Bud Johnston. We have to hand it to him that the score wasnt worse than it was. Despite having a lead going into the second period, Murbach knew the team needed to play better. We actually felt like we didnt play as we should have in the first period, Murbach said. Going into the second we wanted to step it up. When sophomore forward Matt Gellatly scored the second goal of the game, it looked as though the Tar Heels were doing exactly what they wanted. Despite being put in the penalty box twice in the first period, Gellatly composed himself and was focused on redeeming his poor first period. Less than five minutes into the second period Gellatly received the puck, passed a defender with a fake and took a shot that dribbled past the goalkeeper. He was letting the team get to him, and I told him, Play your game, Johnston said. He put his game face back on, and he went out there. From that point on, however, it only went downhill for UNC. A second period hat trick by Duke forward Greg Robin put the Tar Heels at a deficit they would not come back from. Not even a minute into the third period, the Tar Heels were devastated by a final Duke goal that set the tone for the remainder of the game. After the game, UNC was left looking for what went wrong, and with twice as many penalty minutes as Duke and only 29 shots, as opposed to Dukes 50, the Tar Heels didnt have to look very far. Weve got to work on a lot more teamwork, Murbach said. Our breakout is whats

killing us right now. This was the first ACCHL season game for UNC. They next face N.C. State at 9 p.m. Friday at the Raleigh Center Ice.

UNC club baseball

UNC club baseball traveled to Athens, Ga., for a threegame exhibition series against the University of Georgia, getting swept in a doubleheader the first day and bouncing back with a win on the second. UGA prevailed 5-4 and 4-3, both competitive contests. UNC bounced back the next day with a shutout, 1-0 against the Bulldogs. The first game on Oct. 13 of featured a complete game by Seth Beane, who gave up four earned runs on eight hits with three strikeouts. Offensively, the game was highlighted by a 2-2 performance by Kevin Fortier that included a solo home run to left field in the fourth inning. With the game tied in the final inning, UGA hit a walk-off home run to win the game. Sal Savarese started the second game, allowing four runs including two unearned in five innings of work on four hits, two walks and seven strikeouts. David Coffey closed the game, striking out the final three batters. A tworun rally in the 6th inning was not enough to put the Heels on top. The final game on Oct. 14 featured three UNC pitchers combining for a four-hit shutout. Garrett Morgan pitched a solid four innings, giving up three hits, four walks and striking out two. Morgan also pitched out of a bases loaded, no-outs jam in the 4th. Jordan Perinne relieved him in the 5th, giving up only one hit and two walks. Perrine struggled in the 8th, however, leaving the bases loaded with no outs, which brought in the closer, Coffey. He struck out two of the three batters in both the 8th and the 9th to end the game with the Heels on top 1-0. Next series: 12 p.m. Oct. 28 vs. N.C. State at Chapel Hill High School.

Nominees charge battleground states
DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (MCT) President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney campaigned in must-win battleground states Tuesday as they entered the final frenzied two-week stretch of the presidential race. Obama aggressively continued with a familiar line of attack, arguing that Romney has shifted positions on key issues to win voters. This is about trust, a fired-up Obama told a boisterous crowd of about 11,000 in the South Florida city of Delray Beach. Theres no more serious issue in a presidential campaign than trust. Romney supporters criticized the president for answering Romneys charge of having no second-term agenda by distributing a 20-page pamphlet and a new TV ad with his goals. Running to Kinkos two weeks before an election to copy a glossy pamphlet of repackaged ideas is the act of a desperate campaign, not of a visionary leader, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement. America cannot afford four more years like the last four years, but thats all President Obama offers. Obama later headed to Ohio. Romney was to campaign in Las Vegas on Tuesday afternoon and planned to hold an evening rally outside Denver with running mate Rep. Paul Ryan, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and singers Kid Rock and Rodney Atkins. Romney also introduced voters to three new TV ads Tuesday, including one about the two candidates differing visions for the nation. Obama and Romney participated in the third and final debate Monday night in Florida. The two have no other joint appearances planned. Polls find voters split on who won the debate, with the president taking a slight edge, though Romney remains ahead in overall national rankings, according to a

Biological attack defense system defective

WASHINGTON (MCT) For two years, the nationwide BioWatch system, intended to protect Americans against a biological attack, operated with defective components that left it unable to detect lethal germs, according to scientists with direct knowledge of the matter. The federal official who oversaw installation of the components was quietly shifted to a position with no responsibility for BioWatch, and the entire episode was kept out of public view. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees BioWatch, opened an internal investigation, whose status remains confidential. In more than 30 cities, BioWatch samplers located atop buildings, in train stations and in other public places suck air through dry filters around the clock. Once a day, the filters are taken to

FLO promotes local, organic food

Farmers market
Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Location: Polk Place Info: Sponsored by FLO (Fair, Local, Organic) Food

A UNC student group fighting to bring more sustainable and locally grown food into the Universitys dining halls is taking today national Food Day to raise awareness about its cause. FLO (Fair, Local, Organic) Food is hosting events on campus throughout the week to promote healthy, sustainable and affordable food. One of the goals for Food Day is to support organic farms, and building partnerships between Carolina Dining Services and local farmers is a great way to do this, said Alison Doernberg, a student coordinator for UNCs Food Day celebrations. Bringing more sustainable food into the dining halls benefits both the farmers and the campus community. On Tuesday night, Rams Head Dining Hall hosted a fair trade-themed dinner with the help of FLO that featured foods like coffee, bananas and chocolate. Last year, members of FLO submitted a proposal to Chancellor Holden Thorp asking him to commit UNC to

making at least 20 percent of all food served in the dining halls real food by 2020. And although Carolina Dining Services has broader standards for real food, the groups have worked together to identify opportunities to put more fair and community-conscious food into the dining halls. Director of Auxiliary Services Mike Freeman said that last year approximately 23 percent of nonconvenience store dining hall food originated within 150 miles of Chapel Hill, and Carolina Dining Services hopes to increase that percentage this year. Senior Suzanne Fleishman, a member of FLO, said the group wants to highlight the current accomplishments of Carolina Dining Services this week and inform students about what it is already doing regarding sustainable food. FLO is hosting a lecture tonight in the Student Union by author Jonathan Bloom, who will discuss campus food waste.

While most students think surplus dining hall food just goes to waste, Fleishman said, many dont realize that Carolina Dining Services actually donates or composts the majority of leftover food. On Thursday, FLO is hosting a farmers market, and Carolina Dining Services is working with the group to accommodate the farmers. Freshman FLO member Marisa Scavo said she is happy with the steps Carolina Dining Services has taken. They listen to everything we say and make strong efforts to implement our ideas into the dining halls, she said. We understand that we cant change the dining halls into 100 percent local and organic food. FLO and CDS have to do the best we can to work around it for the benefit of what we believe in.

National Review blogger talks Grand New Party

By Eric Garcia
Staff Writer

Although his lecture was entitled The New GOP, conservative columnist Reihan Salam spent most of the talk discussing what a political party is and what it means to be in a party. Its really about identity and your theory about how the world works, Salam said, adding that parties are essentially groups of people with similar interests that seek to further ideological goals. Salam, who writes blog posts and articles for National Review, a conservative magazine, pointed out that while parties can at times create difficult coalitions, they are the main way to affect change. If you are someone who wants to achieve social change, you cant do it on your own, Salam said. The question is who I am going to form alliances with. In an interview prior to the lecture, Salam, who is also the co-author of the book Grand New Party, said it was important for the Republican Party to reshape arguments for the

modern working class. Our economy and society look very differently than our economy and society did in 1980, Salam said. So lets try to embrace some different approaches in order to be more responsive to those underlying ways that the country has changed. But during the lecture, Salam stressed that this should not translate into Republicans giving up conservative values. I believe Republicans are going to be able to win elections, Salam said. My fear is that they are going to go along with the growth of government, as opposed to pushing for limited government principles. Salam also said a stronger economic recovery would allow Latinos to be more receptive to the Republican

message. If we have a decade of economic stagnation, its not beneficial for Republicans, he said. Throughout the lecture, Salam allowed for a backand-forth between him and the audience. Attendees were pleased with Salams application of conservative ideals to real policies. I am excited to hear about how the Republican Party can reshape itself and how it can be relevant, said Kelsey Rupp, CEO of the Carolina Liberty Foundation and co-editor of Carolina Review, both of which sponsored the event. Similarly, Mitch Kokai, director of communications for the right-leaning John Locke Foundation, said its important to have younger conservative speakers like Salam who can connect with students. Anyone who is able to reach into a younger crowd and reach them at their level thats a great thing, Kokai said. Contact the desk editor at state@dailytarheel.com.

The North Carolina mens soccer team amped up its defensive pressure Tuesday night to dominate Campbell 3-0. UNCs solid defense allowed the Tar Heel offense to let loose an offensive firestorm. The Tar Heels attacked Campbell early in the first half, putting up two goals before the break. Junior forward Andy Craven took advantage of the openings created by UNCs dominating defensive performance to score in the 19th minute, assisted by freshman midfielder Danny Garcia. I think it all started off with our defensive pressure up top with Danny (Garcia) and Raby (George) and me, Craven said. We were able to make the other team uncomfortable. Then Danny (Garcia) won it right in the middle of the field, and it was a breakaway and I just made a run to get open, and he played it to me and I scored. North Carolina saw another burst of aggression when seniors Cameron

Brown and Martin Murphy came into the game late in the first half. Were trying to keep a high pressure, Murphy said. The guys were working really hard and the coaches had to put some fresh legs in there, so he put me and Cam (Brown) in to try to keep the high pressure going and it worked. Murphy sent in a header during the 37th minute on a cross from Jordan Gafa after he received the ball from Brown. We wanted to make an impact as soon as we got in, Brown said. We didnt want to take too long because we only had 13 minutes in the first half. Brown later scored on a penalty kick in the 75th minute. Brown said he and Murphy used their momentum off the bench and desire to impress coach Carlos Somoano to elevate their level of play. (Somoano) put his faith in us to put us out there and we just responded with a little senior connection on the second goal, Brown said. The Tar Heels kept possession of the ball for the majority of the game as they put up 22 shots. The Camels

took just three shots, all three of which came in the first 40 minutes. Campbell defeated N.C. State, who UNC plays Friday night, 2-0 earlier this season. But Garcia said that the Camels game with the Wolfpack has little impact on UNCs match. Weve got a lot of momentum, but youve got to think that were playing N.C. State at N.C. State, Garcia said. Its at their home. Theyre going to come with everything their fans, they have that home advantage. So we have to be careful that we dont underestimate them, too. But weve got motivation. Somoano echoed Garcia and said he was focusing on the present game. Each game, we just go one at a time, and now that this game is behind us, were ready to move on and focus in on State.

his Friday, hometown hero David Sedaris is speaking in Durham. Its been an odd year for Sedaris. A persistent debate about accuracy in nonfiction prompted, among other things, by fabrication scandals with journalists Mike Daisey and Jonah Lehrer has thrust his writing under a microscope. Almost everyone agrees: Sedaris is a little bit of a liar. Does that matter? Opinions about Sedaris tend to fall into two camps, either that he stretches the truth in his writing, or that his fantastical storytelling communicates a larger truth, one that justifies embellishment. When Daisey did an expose on Apples factories for This American Life earlier this year, his agenda was to influence the way millions of people regard a product. And he was effective: When I first heard the story, I swore to never buy an Apple product. Discovering that Daisey intentionally edited crucial information out of his piece, then, was shocking. I felt duped. But when a memoirist like Sedaris develops a highly specific genre (to wit: more wacky stories about my wacky American family) he has no agenda except portraying his own history. He doesnt claim that all of it is completely true, just that his memory of it is. He is postulating a larger truth, but he also admits that some small truths are put through a fun-house effect along the way. Introducing a larger truth is, of course, risky. The problem with Daisey and Lehrer is that they were trying to communicate important facts that didnt require embellishment but by cheating, they suffered a quick fall from public grace. While I care if a journalist fabricated a quote, I dont particularly care if Sedaris exaggerated his family vacation. Sedaris falls into a long lineage of American mythology. Particularly in the South, the ability to spin a yarn is prized. We dont impose a degree of New Yorker fact-checking onto the stories our grandparents tell us, because tall tales are fun. We are (or should be) smart enough to discern plot from detail in work like Sedaris. Its a different medium than journalism and should be treated differently. For whatever reason, nonfiction writing possesses more cultural currency than ever before. Anecdotal writing magnetizes people, even though it toes a tenuous line between fiction and nonfiction. And in a world saturated with political and commercial fictions, that tenuous line matters. But perhaps the important part about grappling with literary truth is that, at the very least, we do grapple. Whenever I talk to people about Sedaris, they get a possessive glint in their eye. Oh, David? they say casually, as if to mark their territory. People adore him, and its because hes good at what he does: rummaging through our weird, complicated cultural imagination to find truth. Oh, David.

lETTErS TO THE EDiTOr

Teaching inmates has numerous benefits
TO THE EDITOR: We appreciate Andy Willards Oct. 10 article entitled UNCs Friday Center offers inmates classes. The University systems Correctional Education Program has served the state very well during the past 40 years, and its nice to get positive publicity for it. Your readers might be interested to know that this program not only offers on-site and self-paced credit courses to qualified North Carolina inmates, but through the years it has also provided a study release component that places small numbers of incarcerated individuals the academic cream of the crop on campus taking regular class loads. These inmate-students include six who have become Phi Beta Kappas, 18 who have completed masters degrees and four Ph.D.s. Equally impressive is the tiny (7 percent) recidivism rate of those who have been on study release. Rob Bruce Director William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education Brick Oettinger Associate Director for Correctional Education Friday Center

Honor Fridays legacy

EDiTOriAl

Dont forget Fridays vision for the university system.

ormer UNC-system President Bill Friday, who died on University Day this year, shaped the university system into what it is today through his service. He fought to preserve the mission of the public university and keep higher education affordable. And he understood the threat big-time athletics poses to its mission. Friday served as UNCsystem president for 30 years, guiding it from a three-campus system to the 16 universities it is today. He envisioned the university as an active force

in transforming North Carolina and improving the lives of its people. Improving the circumstances of the people of North Carolina has never been more important. With high unemployment and the loss of jobs in traditional industries to outsourcing, the next North Carolina economy depends on innovation from its universities. Friday also knew the importance of preserving access to higher education for all. He worked to desegregate the system despite vocal criticism and fought to keep tuition low and affordable throughout his life. Tuition has risen rapidly in recent years as money from the state continues to

decline. Friday vehemently opposed these hikes. In the coming years, we should continue his fight to preserve accessibility. In 1989, Friday cofounded the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics to reform the influence of athletics on academics and ensure that college athletes are students first. As the University is submerged in academic and athletic scandals, Fridays message needs to be heard anew. Friday believed in a University committed to public service, affordability and academic excellence. His lifes work was realizing that vision. The best way to honor him is to ensure it is not lost.

on campus grounds on state grounds against any student under any circumstances, and neutral housing seems to me an invitation to those (mercifully) very few students who are, in fact, sexual predators. In the first case, the University ought not create or condone the environment within which sexual violence between roommates is most likely to occur no matter where they live: a cohabiting couple. In all cases, I see no distinction between restraint between consenting adults and safety of students. Couples and best friends relationships, if founded outside of a roommate relationship, will not suffer by continuing as non-roommate relationships. Every person at UNC ought to accept limiting opportunities for any and all sexual predation and violence throughout our campus as a valid justification for denying individual couples or friends their personal housing preference. And to say that allowing sexual predators such an opportunity is not my concern, nor is it anyone elses is, to my mind, a cold and arid statement about what it means to each of us to be a member of this campus community.

he Blue Ribbon Mentor-Advocate program for Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools has had success with raising graduation rates for those in the program. However, considering the program only reaches about one percent of students enrolled in the Chapel HillCarrboro school systems, the program should consider lowering the age limit of volunteers from 21 to 18.

Gender-neutral does have some dangers

TO THE EDITOR: In response to Swati Rayasams Oct. 17 letter UNC housing policy is a discriminatory one: UNC policies define gender as biological sex. What Rayasam calls gender, UNC calls gender expression. If this gender-neutral housing policy proposal uses UNCs definition of gender, we are dealing simply with opposite-sex roommates. If we ought to call it gender-expression-neutral housing, lets assume that the vast majority of UNC students, and at least a plurality of likely applicants for this housing format, identify their gender and gender expression in the same way. In either case setting aside the perfectly valid exceptions for caretakers and siblings most students will sign up for neutral housing for one of two reasons: to live with their boyfriend or girlfriend in on-campus housing, or to satisfy their ill intents. Lets also go ahead and call ill intents by its proper name: sexual predation. In this second case, the University cannot and must not create or condone an environment where sexual predation may occur

Franklin Street Yoga will be hosting the fourth annual Eve Ball Halloween costume party, with proceeds benefiting the Eve Carson Scholarship, which rewards two juniors who represent Eves vision of the Carolina Way. Anyone 21 years or older is invited to honor Eves memory and her love for all UNC traditions with dancing, desserts and a costume contest with cash prizes.

evaluation that took more than a year to complete. The study said the program was well-designed and extremely effective, and every student who has successfully completed the program and graduated high school has enrolled in post-secondary education. Students in the mentor program are able to secure scholarships to go toward their college education. This reward gives the students a goal to push toward. Currently, there are 150 students in the program, which commits to giving a mentor to these students from fourth grade to graduation. As of now, volunteers must be at least 21 years old and able to commit at least

two years. The UNC study found that the volunteers value the program, but staffing levels are low. The school system should consider lowering the age to 18, considering many of the students who attend college or university in the surrounding area are younger than 21. High participation in community service programs such as the Buckley Public Service Scholars and post-undergraduate programs, such as Teach for America, show that this campus would be ideal for expanding the mentor program. Having more volunteers could ensure that more middle and high school students have the proper preparation for college.

Local, sustainable farm

Students should consider supporting local agriculture.

10/25: ISLAMIC EXTREMISM Jagir Patel discusses awkward terminology in the debate.

hen considering internships to pursue for this summer, students should look beyond the typical options and consider an experience in local, sustainable farming. For all of the talk on campus about the local food movement, there are concrete ways for students to get their hands dirty in the actual practice. One can be found just down the Eno River in Hillsborough. Coon Rock Farm is a family operated business. For more than 120 years, Coon Rock Farm has been a notable

landmark in the town. In 2004, the Holcomb family purchased the property. Richard Holcomb and his partner, Jamie DeMent, a UNC and Morehead-Cain alumna, have expanded their farm to more than 10 acres of organically grown food and sustainable farming. During the summer months, the farm hosts up to 10 interns, sometimes including UNC students. This summer experience gives an opportunity for interns to learn about sustainable farming and entrepreneurship. In addition to the organic fruits and vegetables, the farm raises a large amount of livestock. Cows, sheep, pigs and chickens all grace the grounds of

Cook Rock Farm. Animal lovers are not encouraged to apply; those who have a moral opposition to eating meat would not fit well with local animal farming. Students should not expect an easy ride. Five or six days a week, interns will work alongside the family, contributing in all farming tasks for ten hours a day. The experience involves hard work and shared responsibility. While the internship wont be the easiest, the family boasts of a laid back and easy demeanor. Students should look outside the box when planning their summers and support a growing movement toward local, sustainable farming.
