The police cracked down on underage drink-

and legal counselors say.
And now, after a number of successful chal-
lenges to charges in court, drinking ticket num-
bers have fallen back to normal levels.
“It takes a judge to say, ‘Hey, you pushed the
limit here,’” said Chapel Hill attorney Matthew
Suczynski, who represented four students in a

an atypical candidate for student
body president.
“I’m the maverick in this elec-

that word way too much — I don’t
want to go too rogue.”
Keune ignores many of the

platform — such as the aquar-
ium and chairlift — that Keune
is opposed to bureaucracy and
an isolated student government
that does not reflect the opinions
of students.
Instead of feasible solutions,
Keune’s focus is his message — stu-
dents will be electing themselves if
they elect him. That’s his rallying
point, asking students to vote for
him based on his average student
appeal.
Unlike most of his competitors,
he has no background in student
government, but he said this gives
him a different insight into UNC.
“He’s never been in student gov-
ernment before, so he isn’t coming
from the viewpoint of a small stu-
dent government minority,” said
Stephen Estes, Keune’s campaign
manager.
Keune is editor-in-chief of the
Carolina Review, a conservative
student publication, although he
said his political views will not
greatly affect his policies in office.
“I probably won’t be invading
Iran,” he said. “Although I can’t say
for sure, I just can’t see that hap-
pening at this point.”
Admitting that some of his
platform points are “a bit radical,”
he said they are meant to reflect
the attitude of students who come
from outside of student govern-
ment.
“I think that the platform repre-
sents the interests of the students,
rather than the interests of the
small minority in the student gov-
ernment establishment who have
become disconnected from the life
and concerns of the average stu-
dent at Carolina,” he said.
Christopher Jones, Keune’s chief
of staff, wrote in an e-mail that stu-

Shrinks from 8
pages down to 4
BY Stewart Boss
Staff writer
Barack Obama wants to make
it easier for students to get federal
college aid from Uncle Sam.
The president’s administration is
working on simplifying the some-
times onerous Free Application for
Federal Student Aid, the form that
qualifies students for grants, loans
and other forms of college aid.
The form — filled out by 34,994
UNC students for the 2009-10
school year — has been cut in half
for this year’s applicants, down to
four pages from eight. It could be
whittled down even further during
the next two years.
“They’re talking about taking
the FAFSA down to just a handful
of questions, maybe only five ques-
tions, to determine eligibility,” said
Phil Asbury, deputy director of the
UNC Office of Scholarships and
Student Aid.
Most financial aid offices require
that students use the FAFSA to
apply for aid, but the form’s com-
plicated nature often discourages
students from doing so.
“Tax return data and income
information can be a problem for
people,” Asbury said.
The form, designed to determine
federal aid, is also used by states
and colleges to determine their
own funding programs, including
the Carolina Covenant and other
need-based aid programs.
The president’s administration
has argued that cutting the length
of the form could encourage more
students to apply for aid in the face
of rising tuition costs.
Asbury said that while most of
the more dramatic proposals for
altering the form are not finalized,
they could have a significant impact
on the nature of the application.
“Every year the FAFSA is tweaked
and revised,” Asbury said. “But the
FAFSA simplification push may
have a more significant impact on
application numbers if the length of
the form has been a deterrent.”
The form, which can be printed
and filled out or completed online,
consists of four sections and a

already receive stipends.
Executive branch officials said
they hope the stipends will com-
pensate the Congress officers for
the significant amount of time
those positions demand.
Other schools in the UNC-system
already have stipend systems in
place. The stipends, if passed, would
take effect next year.

‘MASTER’ OF DANCE
Class gives students chance to learn from pros
BY Fabiana Brown
staff writer
Keeping up with three professional danc-
ers is not an easy task. But about 30 students
took up the challenge Monday, following the
fluid motions of the dancers from Ailey II.
Ailey II, a branch of the New York-based
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, taught
a master class in Gerrard Hall in its signa-
ture contemporary style.
The one-and-a-half-hour class consisted
of a warm-up and two routines.
One Ailey II dancer choreographed and
led the combination, while the other two
dancers assisted in the demonstration.
Robyn Levine, a junior, said she appreci-
ated being taught something new.
“I didn’t have much experience with that
style of dance, so it was really challenging and
fun to try something different,” she said.
The class was a combination of mod-
ern and contemporary dance with certain
aspects of ballet technique.
Ailey II is a company composed of young
dancers who join in hopes of advancing to
professional companies. They perform resi-
dencies at major universities as a part of a
community outreach program.
This master class is part of a new series of
dance classes offered through UNC’s Office
of the Executive Director for the Arts.
Memorial Hall features performances
from numerous styles of dance, and master
classes are meant to be an extension of this
experience. Students have the opportunity
to practice the styles of dance themselves in
class after viewing the performances. The
classes are open to people of all skill levels.
“The response to these classes has been
positive, and I hope to offer a master class
for each major company that performs at

Council postpones vote to

raise taxes to fund library
A vote that would increase an
average resident’s taxes by $39 a
year was postponed Monday.
The Chapel Hill Town Council
decided unanimously to delay the
vote on a proposed expansion to
the town’s public library, against
the recommendation of town man-
ager Roger Stancil.
The council will revisit the $16.5
million project after members dis-
cuss the issue with the Orange
County Board of Commissioners.
The expansion was planned to
begin in July and would be finished
in the fall of 2011.
Council members were con-
cerned about the use of the library
by non-Chapel Hill residents, who
do not pay taxes for its upkeep.

city for the full story.
-From staff and wire reports.
Top of the Hill opens bar, hall
Top of the Hill owner Scott Maitland opened a
new banquet hall and a new bar Thursday adja-
cent to the current location.
The Great Room, the new banquet hall, was
created after requests from customers who want-
ed a place to hold weddings and social events. It
holds parties of 20 to 300.
The Back Bar, the new bar that holds up to 225
people, has foosball and pool tables and serves cask-
conditioned ales, which are unfiltered beers.
“It’s a throwback to how beer was made 100
years ago,” Maitland said.
Separately, Top of the Hill plans to open a new
liquor distillery in late summer in the space previ-
ously occupied by The Chapel Hill News. The liquor
will be manufactured to distribute statewide.
Irish pub to open on Friday
Kildare’s, an Irish pub that has several loca-
tions along the East Coast, will open Friday, owner
Dave Magrogan said.
The pub serves from a menu that includes a
section titled “Irish originals.”
“(Chapel Hill) is very similar to where our first
Kildare’s was opened in West Chester,” Magrogan
said.
All staff members go through an intense four-
week training process when they are taught all
there is to know about Irish pub life and culture.
Magrogan said construction costs were more
than planned, especially since it is an older building
at 206 West Franklin St. At one point, the pub’s
water main on Franklin Street collapsed, adding
a significant cost to the project.
Late-night market now open
Franklin Street Market, which opened three
weeks ago at 167 E. Franklin St., is Tekin Guler’s
convenience store, though he said he has worked
as a manager in many.
Guler was forced to open the store three
months late after running into conflicts with con-
struction. During this time, he was paying rent on
the space, which exhausted the money he could
use to improve the look of the store, he said.
The market is open until 2 a.m. Sunday through
Wednesday and 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.
Cigarettes are his most popular item, he said.
“I just really want to make this place popular
for the beer and then go from there,” Guler said
When he planned to open, he hadn’t heard
about the Walgreens opening nearby.
New store recycles cartridges
Cartridge World, an Australian franchise,
opened two weeks ago in University Square.
The franchise came to the United States five
years ago and now has more than 650 locations,
including at least 18 in North Carolina.
Owner Jason Beasley also owns a Cartridge
World in Durham by Southpoint Mall. He chose to
bring his new store to Chapel Hill because there is
a large market with the University, he said.
He said customers can bring in their old cartridg-
es, and employees fill them on the spot, Beasley
said, emphasizing the store’s focus on recycling.
He said the recession could help business
because refilling recycled cartridges is cheaper.
Beasley said business had been slow so far
because many people hadn’t heard of the store.

Davis questionable yet again for Tar Heels

Williams heightens practice intensity
BY mike ehrlich
senior writer
When North Carolina enters
the RBC Center tonight, it will be
about as momentum-free as the
team has been in a long time.
Losers of each of their last three
games, the Tar Heels dropped out
of the top 25 for the first time since
Jan. 2006.
And now they might have to hit
the road sans Ed Davis once again.
Roy Williams said in a news
conference Monday afternoon that
unless the sophomore’s injured ankle
makes “significant improvement”
before the 9 p.m. tip-off against N.C.
State, UNC’s best forward will be
kept out of a second straight game.
“If the game had been scheduled
yesterday, I would not have played
him,” Williams said.
“He doesn’t feel good about
planting the foot, pushing off and
going sideways.”
A depleted frontcourt could
mean trouble, as the Tar Heel
bigs will have to match up against
junior Tracy Smith, who ranks
sixth in the league in both scoring
and rebounding and is second only
to Davis in field goal percentage.
“We know he’s a beast inside,” said
freshman Travis Wear, who made

his first career start in lieu of Davis
Wednesday against Wake Forest.
“We’re just going to have to move
our feet and keep him in front of
us, and try to keep him out of the
paint.”
UNC has had six days of rest
after the 13-point loss to the Demon
Deacons. They’ve used that time to
get in what Wear called the two
most intense practices this year.
“At some dadgum time you’ve
got to put your foot down and say,
‘I’m going to play better,’” Williams
said. “And this ‘Woe is me,’ stuff,
you’ve got to put a stop to that.
“I can’t imagine any time I’ve
been more involved, more into it,
more enthusiastic, critical, vocal,
whatever you can say, than I’ve been
in practice since last Wednesday.”
Over the weekend, practices have
included a 30-minute scrimmage.
And when mistakes were made, the
players hit the baseline to run.
Freshman Travis Wear stepped into Davis’ role last week against Wake
Forest in his first career start, recording 13 points and six rebounds.
“Just our competitiveness in
practice the last two days,” Wear
said. “We’ve just been going at
each other’s throats and playing
really hard.”
They’ll need to bring the same
intensity Tuesday night against a
team that Williams said might not
be quite as gifted, but is playing
more together than in recent years.
And he knows UNC needs to be
at its best to climb out of this hole.

“Last year if we played very well,
we were going to win,” Williams
said. “And if we just played fairly
well, we were going to win most of
the time.
“Well, we don’t have that luxury
right now. But I know we don’t
have a chance if we don’t play very
well.”

Lucas, Heels battle back Freshman nets career night

in win against N.C. State
BY Chris Hempson
senior writer
RALEIGH — North Carolina
entered Reynolds Coliseum on its
most successful stretch ever against
N.C. State.
A staggering 17 of the past 19
contests had gone in the Tar Heels’
favor, yet with 12 minutes remain-
ing in the second half, none of that
seemed to matter.
The Wolfpack were in the
midst of extending their largest
lead of the game to nine. And just
moments before, NCSU’s Emili
Tasler swished home another
three-pointer. The crowd was in a
frenzy as no one on UNC seemed
willing to take any sort of cold-
blooded shot.
Well, not quite.
Moments later, junior Italee
Lucas grabbed the ball at the top
of the key and immediately net-
ted a three-point attempt to begin
a UNC rally that would give it an
81-69 win.
“She made some tough shots,
first of all,” N.C. State coach Kellie
Harper said of Lucas. “We defend-
ed her well, and she was still able to
score. We wanted to keep the ball
out of her hands but were unable
to do that.”
From there, it was all Lucas —
who scored 28 points in the second
half — and all UNC.
The first half was anything but
peachy. UNC (16-3, 4-1 ACC) start-
ed off the game in miserable fash-
ion, making just 31.4 percent of its
attempts and managing to miss all
seven shots from long range.
But at halftime, something
changed.
“At halftime, I called the stats out,”
UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said.

NCSSM chancellor to retire

By Emily Stephenson
Senior Writer
After leading the N.C. School of
Science and Mathematics through 10
years of changes, Chancellor Gerald
Boarman announced Monday that
he will retire at the end of the year.
In a letter to faculty and students,
Boarman said that he will leave the
school July 31 in order to spend more
time with his family.
“I will continue to work relentless-
ly with you to see the school through
a difficult budgetary process, selec-
tion of the incoming class and other
challenges of the transition ahead,”
Boarman’s letter stated.
He led NCSSM through many
changes, some of which — includ-
ing the decision in 2006 to join the
UNC system and the switch from
the semester system to trimesters —

changes to the

10-year term as
chancellor.
have been controversial.
“A lot of people didn’t agree with a
lot of the things he did,” said Gabriel
Whaley, who served as NCSSM’s
student body president during the
2007-08 school year.
Boarman was chancellor in 2003
when the N.C. General Assembly
created a grant that paid tuition for
NCSSM students attending UNC-
system schools and when the legis-
lature decided in 2009 to do away
with it.
He was criticized in 2006 for a
raise that elevated his salary above
those of chancellors at six UNC-
system schools. Critics said admin-
istrative costs outpaced enrollment.
But former students said Boarman
will also be remembered for posi-
tives, such as creating a distance
learning program, expanding the
campus and focusing on safety.
Cierra Hinton, now a UNC soph-
omore, said she met with Boarman
several times as an NCSSM stu-
dent.
“You can’t really say Dr. Boarman
has not helped to improve that
school,” she said. “He’s one of the
main reasons I’m here at Carolina.
I’m very sad to see him go.”

Earthquake forces
Haiti to reorganize
MONTREAL (MCT) —
Rebuilding Port-au-Prince could
take a decade or longer and ulti-
mately completely reform the way
Haiti is organized, foreign leaders
said at a conference Monday.
Haiti’s prime minister, Jean-
Max Bellerive, told envoys that
the Jan. 12 earthquake crippled
the entire country. In the future,
he said, Haiti’s authority and its
resources must be decentralized.
Bellerive also passed along
an appeal for immediate assis-
tance. He said Haiti needs at
least 200,000 tents for those left
homeless by the earthquake.
Obama launches programs aimed at
helping the middle class recuperate
WASHINGTON, D.C (MCT)
— Declaring that the middle
class remains “under assault,”
President Barack Obama pro-
posed new federal help on
Monday for child care, elder care,
student loans and retirement.
The proposals are part of
Obama’s campaign to convince
the country that he’s doing all he
can to ease the economic anxi-
ety he thinks is fueling a politi-
cal backlash against his party.
He’s expected to address those
concerns in his first State of the
Union speech Wednesday.
Republicans called Monday’s
proposals a publicity-seeking
photo-op that would do nothing
to create jobs.
Obama suggested that his new
proposals aren’t aimed so much
at creating jobs now as they are
at helping middle-class pocket-
books over the longer term.
“Creating good, sustainable jobs
is the single most important thing
we can do to rebuild the middle
class,” he said. “But we also need to
reverse the overall erosion in mid-
dle class security so that when this
economy does come back, work-
ing Americans are free to pursue
their dreams again.”
Blue runs uncontested for GPSF president

Although few graduates have

said she thinks
her enthusiasm
and commitment to the job can
provide a strong voice on a campus
dominated by undergraduates.
Blue said she hopes to promote
unity among graduate students,
gain a larger student voice on
University committees and elimi-
nate inefficiencies.
“I feel like there’s always some-
thing to learn from other people,
so I like to get input from every-
one without wasting time,” said the
third-year doctoral student in the
Department of Chemistry.
If elected, she will represent
graduate students within student
government and in meetings with
administrators.
Blue wasn’t involved in student
government as an undergraduate
at Ohio Northern University but
quickly became involved at UNC,
serving as treasurer and public ser-
vice chairwoman for the GPSF.
Laura Blue
has served in
other positions
in GPSF and is
now running
uncontested for
the top spot.
Given the change in leadership
from year to year, Blue said she
hopes to solidify a relationship
between the student body presi-
dent and the GPSF.
“It varies from president to pres-
ident what type of relationship is
made, and it can really make or
break graduate students’ voices,”
Blue said.
Graduate student commit-
ments, including doing research,
teaching courses and taking care
of families, sometimes make it dif-
ficult for students to get involved
on campus.
“I want to raise awareness that it
doesn’t take a huge amount of time
to do little things,” she said.
Current GPSF President Keith
Lee said it can be difficult for some
students to balance academic and
extracurricular activities.
“This is a job essentially, but
you’re also a student,” he said. “For
a lot of people, there’s just not as
much time to devote to activities
outside those core things.”
Emily Danforth, a representative
in GPSF and Student Congress and
a third-year doctoral student in
the Department of Sociology, said
many student government events
occur during inconvenient times
and when parking options are lim-
ited, which could limit graduate
involvement.
Blue does an excellent job find-
ing what people are good at and
suggesting to them positions that
fit their interests, Danforth said.
Lee noted Blue’s knowledge of
financial issues students face after
serving two years as treasurer.
“I’m very confident in her abil-
ity to carry forward the things that
work and tweak the things that
need to change,” he said.

Online room reservations see success Vicente Fox stresses

BY Lyle Kendrick
Staff writer
Student organizations were able
to reserve Student Union activity
space Monday without the use of
sleeping bags, pillows and ghost
stories. All it took was the click of
a mouse.
For the first time, the process of
reserving the more than 70 activ-
ity spaces overseen by the Student
Union was completed fully online,
and administrators and group
leaders said it went off without any
major issues.
Before the Union implemented
the new system, students had to wait
in line the night before registration
began to ensure they got a room.
The Union introduced online
registration from 9 a.m. until
noon Monday and received positive
responses, along with 2,116 book-
ings for Union rooms and class-
rooms this fall and general purpose
classrooms this spring.
Don Luse, director of the
Carolina Union, said the new sys-
tem was a response to complaints
from student organizations and a
request from the Carolina Union
Board of Directors to look into
changing the process.
“Things that people used to have
to stand in line to do had been com-
pleted by 11 o’clock,” Luse said.
Lee Storrow, co-president of the
UNC Young Democrats, said the
online system was more efficient
than the previous system.
“It was just easier for our orga-
nization,” he said. “We reserved
rooms this morning, and we didn’t
have to invest in people spending
the night in the Union.”
Rabbi Ben Packer, right, meets Monday with Erika Bozeman, events manager at the events planning office in
the Student Union, to reserve classroom space. Monday marked the first day to reserve classrooms online.
John Eick, chairman of the UNC
College Republicans, said he agreed
the new process made reserving
activity space less of a hassle.
“It was convenient to be able to
register in my room instead of get-
ting out of bed,” he said.
Another change to the pro-
cess was combining the registra-
tion date for classrooms for this
semester with the registration for
all Union-controlled rooms next
semester.
Union staff said the only issue
was the tendency for students to
not complete the entire online
application, said Joe Singer, the
assistant director of events man-
dth/Ben Pierce
agement for the Union.
Luse said the Union will wait
until it receives more responses
from organizations before decid-
ing whether they will make further
changes to the process.

value of partnerships
BY C. Ryan Barber
Assistant University Editor
As president of Mexico, Vicente
Fox was known for preferring his
trademark open-neck shirt, black
leather boots and name-bearing belt
buckle to more presidential attire.
Before a capacity crowd in the
Koury Auditorium of the Kenan-
Flagler Business School, Fox tossed
aside his typical outfit in favor of a
gray suit.
But the wardrobe decision did not
come at the expense of the charisma
that propelled him to victory in the
2000 presidential election, as his
speech to the UNC community was
bookended by standing ovations.
Fox received $42,500 from
the Van and Kay Weatherspoon
endowment to deliver this year’s
Weatherspoon Lecture, which has
hosted figures such as magazine
editor Steve Forbes and Washington
Post journalist Bob Woodward.
The speech, titled “Surveying the
Geo-Political Landscape,” touched
on the need for nations across the
globe to become unified to over-
come pressing challenges.
The speech specifically addressed
the relationship between Mexico
and the United States with regard
to immigration, drug trafficking
and free trade.
Fox, whose grandfather migrated
to Mexico from the United States,
opened the lecture by voicing his
support for Mexican immigrants.
“They are real heroes, incompre-
hensible heroes,” Fox said. But the
majority of the speech highlighted
the value of developing partner-
ships, such as the North American
Free Trade Agreement.
“Instead of building walls, let’s
build bridges,” Fox said, referring
to both U.S. immigration policy
and free trade.
Fox, championed for strengthen-
ing Mexico’s democracy after ousting
the 71-year rule of the Institutional
Revolutionary Party, also stressed
the value of democracy.
Cathy Ospina, a senior Latin
American studies and anthropology
major, said she did not agree with
Fox’s analysis of his administration.
“I didn’t agree about what he
said about his party and how they
saved the country because they
agree with the PRI on almost every
issue,” she said.
Paul Cuadros, journalism pro-
fessor and author of “A Home on
the Field,” a book about coaching a
high school soccer team composed
mostly of Latino immigrants, said
Fox was correct in his attitude
against the policy requiring illegal
immigrants in North Carolina to
pay out-of-state tuition.
“I think he was spot on in terms of
if there is one set of doors that should
be open to everyone, it should be the
schoolhouse doors,” he said.
After the question and answer
session, the former Mexican presi-
dent reinforced his message of
partnership, inviting the audience
to his hometown of San Cristobal.
“We will receive you at home
with a bottle of tequila,” Fox said.

Siren Test Today

The University will test the sirens and text messages
Tuesday, January 26 between noon and 1 PM.

No action is required since it's just a test. But you need

to know what to do in an actual emergency.

SIRENS SOUND ONLY IN A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY

• An armed and dangerous person is on or near campus.
• A major chemical spill or hazard has been reported.
• A tornado has been sighted.

WHAT TO DO
• Go inside immediately.
• Close windows and doors.
• Stay until further notice.

In an emergency, sirens will also broadcast short voice messages. When the
threat is over, the sirens will sound again with a different tone to announce:
“All clear. Resume normal activities.”

If the sirens sound, you’ll also receive an emergency text message if you
signed up. These are just two ways UNC communicates in an emergency.
See alertcarolina.unc.edu for details.

alcohol busts Underage consumption and possession fan gear

successfully that officers violated
his clients’ Fourth Amendment
rights, which protect them from
unlawful searches and seizures.
“The pendulum has swung
back.”
September numbers for underage
alcohol consumption and possession
tickets were about four times higher
than those from 2008.
By December, however, ticket
numbers had fallen to about half of
the same month’s from last year.
Suczynski said he has taken on
dozens of cases this fall, more than
he has ever seen in three years in
Chapel Hill.
Part of the pressure to ramp up
alcohol law enforcement last fall
came from community groups like
the Coalition for Alcohol and Drug
Free Teenagers of Chapel Hill and
Carrboro, which has secured two
grants worth about $100,000 each
to combat underage drinking.
Some of that money went to
Chapel Hill’s new alcohol law
enforcement task force, ALERT, as
part of what District Attorney Jim
Woodall called “a new emphasis”
on underage drinking.
“I do think that the attention
given to the issue is something that is
on law enforcement’s radar screen,”
said coalition member and retired
superior court judge Ryan Bogle.
“They devote their resources to
areas where there are concerns
within a community.”
Busting big parties often leads
officers to “jump to the next step”
before finding probable cause that
underage drinking is going on,
Woodall said.
“Whenever there are four offi-
cers, and let’s say there’s 50 people
at a party, each officer essentially
has a dozen people to account for,”
An increase in fall alcohol citations led to an increase in violations of students’
Fourth Amendment rights, according to a judge’s ruling in several cases.

video of the event.
Defense documents state that
one officer jammed his foot in an
apartment door to prevent a stu-
dent from closing it and told her,
“You are not going back into your
apartment unless I go with you.”
“The enforcement method that
apparently has been adopted is one
that we haven’t seen in other areas
of the criminal law,” said Chapel
Hill attorney Steve Bernholz, who
represented two students charged
in the Warehouse incident.
“It’s a Fourth Amendment
issue. When you round up stu-
dents who have been raised to
be truthful and cooperate with
police, you have essentially cor-
ralled them often without any
reasonable suspicion.”
Suczynski’s case was dismissed
on the grounds that police had
detained the entire party, about
50 students, without reasonable
suspicion and probable cause for
everyone in attendance.
On the night of the party, police

tuned their policy in response to
this fall’s cases.
Matthew Sullivan, a Chapel Hill
police crisis counselor and legal
adviser, said he was not aware of
any departmental meetings to
address alcohol citation policy.
“It’s our obligation to respond to
the courts,” Sullivan said, though
he declined to discuss policy on a
general or case-by-case basis.
While the number of citations
skyrocketed this fall, the conse-
quences of the charges also became
more weighty.
Taking a plea bargain, or deferred
prosecution, in exchange for the
charges later being expunged often
doesn’t wipe the slate clean, said
Dorothy Bernholz, an attorney at
UNC’s Student Legal Services and
Steve Bernholz’s wife.
An increasing number of
employers and schools are ask-
ing applicants to list any charg-
es expunged from their record,
though state statues do not legally
require applicants to answer that
question, she said.

UNC was ranked No. 6 in the
Associated Press poll. Now the
team is unranked after losing three
straight games.
“On a day-to-day basis, our cash

Of course, the losses are coming
in the wake of a national cham-
pionship year, which makes for a
harder transition.

each accounted for half a mil-

UNC’s Trademarks and Licensing
division.
But it’s too early to compile num-
bers from this season, said Derek
Lochbaum, director of trademarks
and licensing.
Despite the basketball team’s per-
formance this season, Lochbaum
said that the school will probably
not experience a large decrease in
revenue.

Engage
in foreign

dialogue
A
statesman once said, “No
foreign policy — no matter
how ingenious — has any
chance of success if it is born in
the minds of a few and carried in
the hearts of none.”
Great Decisions, a program led
and taught by undergraduates
on UNC’s campus for more than
two decades, embodies this idea
by encouraging our generation to
analyze and engage major global
issues.
The program provides a col-
laborative setting to foster a
vibrant intellectual climate on
campus through an eight-part
speaker series covering some of
today’s most pertinent global top-
ics. Each lecture is then followed
by intimate discussion forums.
With every speaker, a mem-
ber of Great Decisions will write
insightful and informative col-
umns on these topics, highlighting
the connections to our community.
The increasing connection
between our daily lives and
these issues is tangible and
evident. As the world becomes
more interconnected, the neces-
sity and the means to stay
informed and involved have
only intensified.
Two weeks ago, the world
watched in horror as Haiti faced
a terrible humanitarian crisis
after being hit by a 7.0-magni-
tude earthquake.
In peace-building and human-
itarian efforts, the international
community confronts the real-
ity that much of the devastation
has been perpetuated by the
shortcomings of the interna-
tional community’s policies on
peacekeeping and infrastructure
development.
Haiti’s story is hardly unique.
Failed states and the growing
consequences of the limited
effectiveness of international
organizations cannot be ignored.
In April, UNC professor
Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja will
discuss peacekeeping in the
Congo, sharing lessons that can
be applied to the hot-button
states of Somalia, Afghanistan,
Myanmar and even Haiti.
Even closer to home, the now
infamous “underwear bomber,”
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab,
focused international atten-
tion on Yemen, a country many
Americans could not place on a
map prior to the incident.
While poverty-ridden Yemen
has garnered significant media
attention in recent weeks, it
has long been mired in internal
conflict that has developed a
regional dimension, contribut-
ing to the instability that has
created a comfortable base for
al-Qaida and the proliferation
of extremism.
In March, ex-CIA analyst
Michael Scheuer will share
insight from his experiences serv-
ing as former chief of the CIA
Counterterrorist Center’s Osama
Bin Laden tracking unit.
Great Decisions will host
compelling speakers through-
out the semester, ranging from
scholars to diplomats, including
Daniel Kurtzer, a prominent
architect of American policy
on the Middle East peace pro-
cess and Bruce Bagley, a lead-
ing expert on drug trafficking
between Latin America and the
United States.
We no longer live in a world
where foreign policy and global
relations rest in the hands of
elites; ideas must be exchanged
by the broader public for policies
to be successfully implemented.
We urge the entire UNC
community to become a part
of these conversations, where
the impassioned and innovative
idea of today can be the solu-
tion with global implications
tomorrow.

Installing dashboard cameras in police cars will
help to provide an infallible record of incidents
T
he decision by the
Orange County Board
of Commissioners to
outfit more sheriff ’s office vehi-
cles with dashboard cameras
addresses an important need
for public safety and officer
accountability.
Dashboard cameras can
often provide crucial evidence
that officer and witness testi-
mony cannot.
Yet disturbingly, only one
dashboard camera currently
exists in the entire fleet of sher-
iff ’s office patrol vehicles.
Now, there will be 51. The
board’s approval allows for the
purchase of 50 new cameras
for $295,700.
Better still, all of the money
comes from grants, which do
not have to be repaid.
Two relatively recent cases

The Blue Ribbon Mentor-
Advocate program, which
began in 1995, is provided
through Chapel Hill-Carrboro
City Schools and currently has
more than 100 mentors.
These volunteers spend two
hours per week providing one-
on-one visits with the mentee
for a minimum of two years.
The purpose of the program is
to provide these students with
the academic and personal sup-

need for increased dashboard
cameras.
The first example is
the tragic death of junior
Courtland Smith, president
of the Delta Kappa Epsilon
fraternity.
Dashboard camera video
captured events just prior to
and immediately after the
moment police said Archdale
Police Department officer
Jeremy Paul Flinchum shot
and killed Smith.
Although a Randolph
County judge has ruled not to
release this evidence, the dash-
board camera video almost cer-
tainly sheds greater light on the
murky details surrounding this
tragedy.
The second example is
this past summer’s confron-
tation between Chapel Hill
police and local business
gle-parent households.
The students are select-
ed because they have some
untapped potential in an aca-
demic, social, physical or other
area.
What makes this program
unique and impressive is that
mentors invest more time into
their mentees than in more tra-
ditional programs.
Although individual vol-
unteers are only asked to stay
with the student for two years,
the program seeks to provide
mentors for the student from
fourth grade until high school
graduation.
In fact, 60 percent of stu-
dents involved in the program
have had the same mentor
from fourth grade until gradu-
ation.

was temporarily detained —

the officers.
Brown and the officers dis-
agreed about the nature of the
detainment and its length.
Brown claimed he was treated
poorly and held for almost an
hour by the officers.
An internal review by the
town found no wrongdoing on
the part of the officers.
Mo r e i m p o r t a n t l y, t h e
review suggested more dash-
board cameras, saying they
“would provide protection
that would benefit both offi-
cers and citizens.”
Both officers and the people
they confront are fallible. The
objective lens of a dashboard
camera serves to keep both
parties accountable.
T he program’s success
speaks for itself. More than 95
percent of students enrolled in
the program have graduated
from high school, and of that
group, all of them have enrolled
in post-secondary education.
Students, teachers or any-
body looking to get more

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Students do pay for tickets
with yearly athletic fees
TO THE EDITOR:
In his letter to the editor
“Students paying for many bad
decisions with tickets,” (Jan.
25), Tom Hicks, UNC ’78, ended
with: “My seats are in the upper
deck, along with many of the
student seats, but there are two
huge differences. I have to pay
for my tickets, and I actually
show up for every game.”
Hicks’ assertion is incorrect.
We do pay for our tickets. The
student athletic fee is $265 this
academic year. Over four years,
each student pays about $1,000
for the privilege of entering the
lottery to get basketball tickets
along with entry to other sport-
ing events.
Mr. Hicks should be grate-
ful that he has a choice about
whether or not he wants to pay
for his tickets. We’re forced to
pay, whether we want to spend
our money on athletic tickets
or not.
Myself, I’d rather have $1,000

Student government to
hold forum on celebrations
TO THE EDITOR:
Since the beginning of this
summer, student government
has been working on a plan
to enhance celebrations on
Franklin Street. These celebra-
tions are among students’ most
memorable Carolina experienc-
es, and we want to make sure
they’re as memorable as they
can be.
However, we want to make
sure those memories are of UNC
chants, not UNC Hospitals.
After the championship game
last April, two students were
arrested, 10 were taken to UNC
Hospitals and 16 more were
treated for on-site injuries. The
town and University split the
more than $200,000 cost to
clean up the street afterward.
We don’t believe that fun and
safety are mutually exclusive,
and with a little creativity and
some student input, we can find
ways to increase both.
Our ultimate goal is to find
ways to enhance these cel-
ebrations with alternatives to
fire and town destruction, and
this is where we need students’
help.
What would you like to do on
Franklin after a big win? We’d
like to have a DJ, put up screens
showing playbacks of the game
and hit around an absurd quan-
tity of beach balls. But we need
to hear from you, too.
Come out to our town hall
forum this Wednesday, Jan.
27, at 7 p.m. in the Union
Auditorium.
We w i l l h av e p a n e l i s t s
from student government, the
Carolina Athletic Association,
Student Affairs, UNC Hospitals
and the Department of Public
Safety there to answer ques-
tions about the celebration
plans and to hear students voice
their own ideas for enhancing
Franklin Street celebrations.

‘Miss Angie’ seems nice,
but was not doing her job
TO THE EDITOR:
I felt sure I would be siding
with the nice yet wistful looking
lady pictured on Monday’s front
page (“‘Miss Angie’ missed,”
Jan. 25).
I’m no fan of corporate greed
or bureaucratic indifference. So I
thought I knew where the article
was going. But somehow I never
got to that point. Ms. Vargas
seems like a sweet woman, a nice
lady and an outgoing person. She
also seems dedicated to making
her workspace a better place for
herself and her customers. It’s a
good story.
But looking at the rest of the
story, couldn’t it also be that Ms.
Vargas was terminated because
she came to work late, disobeyed
workplace policy and took
unscheduled breaks?
I admit, it is tempting to lay
blame for her plight at the feet
of evil bureaucrats and a corpo-
rate environment that stifled her
creativity. But doesn’t it seem as
reasonable to assume that, rather
than being “punished for calling
corporate,” Ms. Vargas was pun-
ished for multiple violations of
her workplace’s policy?
I feel badly for Ms. Vargas,
and I hope that she does well at
school. But the story reads to me
like the story of a nice lady who
was fired because she did not fol-
low the rules of her workplace.

Young people these days
don’t have any respect
TO THE EDITOR:
UNC students should count
themselves lucky that they
receive a single ticket within
stone-throwing distance from
the basketball court.
During my years at UNC or,
as we called it, the University of
Diggity Carolina (“north” was
still a dirty word back then), the
107 suspender-clad residents
of East building passed around
a single radio to hear Abbott
“Crispy” McSwainington call
the games. You were fortunate
to hear a continuous 30 seconds
of gameplay.
Kids these days have no appre-
ciation for the rules, and students
are getting what they deserve for
listening to their jazz music and
having relations before being
married for at least 15 years.
I was on what you (obvi-
ously jokingly) refer to as the
“University campus” the other
day, and I swear you couldn’t
throw a hoop that one uses a
stick to push without hitting a
girl wearing pants! I became so
aroused that I immediately came
home and yelled at my wife for
making corn on the cob again.
Seriously? Corn on the cob? I’m
90 years old! I can’t eat that.
