Duke drops UNC
ROCK BOTTOM
to last in the ACC
BY David Reynolds
Sports editor
Before Wednesday night, North
Carolina’s season looked a lot like
early reports of forward Travis
Wear’s injured ankle.
With 10 losses, its NCAA
Tournament chances were signifi-
cantly hobbled. The pressure that
was put on it with each passing
loss made failure a tender subject.
And UNC’s season-long struggle
with perimeter defense was a huge
cause for concern.
But the season was still unbro-
ken.
It took Duke’s Jon Scheyer all 40
minutes in the Blue Devils’ 64-54
win against the Tar Heels (13-11,
2-7 ACC), but he finished the job.
“No moral victories,” UNC coach
Roy Williams said. “For 30 min-
utes, I thought we had the intensity
that we needed and should’ve had
the whole season, but after that it
was their work on the offensive
backboards. They seemed more
hungry to get there.”
Scheyer overcame a horrendous
early shooting performance to put
the game away late.
Shortly after junior Will Graves
drained a three-pointer to pull
UNC within one at 49-48 with 6:04
remaining, the Blue Devils couldn’t
immediately find an open look on
the other end, and the Smith Center
crowd roared with excitement.
UNC cut off Scheyer’s pass-
ing lanes, and a barrage of blocks
in the lane earlier in the game
deterred him from driving toward
the basket.
But as the shot clock dipped
below 10 seconds, Scheyer finally
made a decision. The point guard
calmly picked up his dribble and
released a high arcing shot with a
hand in his face.
One swish later, the Blue Devils
(20-4, 8-2) were back in control by
four points. And with four more
Scheyer points down the stretch,
the Tar Heels did not get within
three the rest of the game.
Scheyer finished with a game-
high 24 points.
“That was a big swing because
we were all into it, and he hits that
three, and we’re back to where we
started,” forward John Henson
said. “That really killed us.”
The Blue Devils did it against
the Tar Heels best defensive effort
of the season.

arms of North Carolina’s big men

But students still
show UNC spirit
BY Sarah Glen
staff writer
Despite another loss Wednesday
night, flocks of students displayed
their UNC spirit on Franklin Street
after the game.
While crossing Columbia Street,
groups of students decked out
in their Tar Heel best and carry-
ing Carolina blue balloons joined
together in a heartfelt rendition of
“Hark the Sound.”
As students sang, town trucks
filled with trash cans combed the
streets in search of possible danger.
Even with UNC’s less-than-
stellar men’s basketball record,
the town of Chapel Hill prepared
to battle possible bonfire frenzies.

Jones said the fire department
plans for big events like Duke
games regardless of UNC’s team
status.
“It’s sports, and you don’t know
what the outcome might be,” he
said.
In collaboration with the Chapel
Hill police department, Jones said
the fire department planned to
have staff and equipment out on
Franklin Street after the game.

threaten vote results
As many as 300 cast wrong ballots
By Eliza Kern
Assistant University Editor
Tuesday’s election results
remain in limbo as mistakes by
the Board of Elections, technology
glitches and confusion regarding
the Student Code have called into
question the validity of the vote.
Board of Elections Chairman
Pete Gillooly said he currently has
no plans to invalidate the election.
But according to the laws of stu-
dent government, any student in
any election could sue the Board
of Elections in Student Supreme
Court, on the grounds that the
validity of his or her candidacy
could have been compromised.
Fee referendum
Gillooly announced Tuesday
night that all three fee referen-
dums had been approved by the
student body.
But he said he misread the elec-
tion results and the $6 student orga-
nization fee did not actually pass. It
was defeated by 2,037 votes.
“I f---ed up,” he said. “I

UNC inconsistent
at small forward
BY Joe McLean
Senior Writer
Inconsistency has been a plague
upon North Carolina this season.
The 64-54 loss to Duke was no
different, whether you look at the
whole roster or just at one spot.
Against the Blue Devils, the Tar
Heels received good 3-point shoot-
ing and solid defensive play from
their small forward — but just not
at the same time, and not from the
same player.
Will Graves provided the scor-
ing boost the Tar Heels needed.
He hit a pair of 3-pointers early
to keep the game close and led the
team in scoring with 13 points.
John Henson mostly stuck to
what he does best: help defense
near the rim. He finished with four
blocks in just 20 minutes and forced
several turnovers in the paint.
But neither was able to contrib-
ute on the opposite end. Henson
shot just 2-for-8 from the floor,
and Graves found himself unable
to keep position on defense.
“The big men were going to
block shots, and so that leaves
their man open,” Graves said.
“And I did a poor job of get-
ting down to box out, and to help
them out when my man was on
the outside.”

was my mistake. When it’s certified,
it will be certified as not passed.”
The student organizations fee
provides revenue to be distributed
by Student Congress to fund stu-
dent groups and organizations.
The other two fees on the ballot,
the student legal services fee and
the safety and security fee, were
both correctly reported by Gillooly
as passed.
Technology glitch
A computer glitch that
Information Technology Services
said can likely be attributed to
communications problems pro-
hibited as many as 296 students
from successfully casting votes in
the election.
Several students found that
their residence or class informa-
tion was incorrect, providing
them with inappropriate voting
options.

BORN TO STEP
Campus step teams create own music, rhythm
BY Lucie shelly
staff writer
Every Tuesday night, rain or calm, a
group of women gather at the UNC ROTC
armory building to clap, stomp and move
in unison at the command of their director,
Lindsey Jefferies.
“Alright ladies, let’s do it again!”
They are members of the stepping squad
born2step, the University’s only official, inde-
pendent squad. UNC also has several step
teams associated with the Greek system.
Kiva Moore, a freshman communication
studies major and member of born2step, said
stepping could be called dance, but there’s
greater freedom to it than other dance types.
“You can use music, but you don’t have
to,” Moore said. “We use our hands and feet
as the music and rhythm.”
Jefferies founded born2step in October
2009 when she couldn’t find an outlet for
stepping outside of the Greek system.
“I would have done it through a soror-
ity, but they’re not stepping all the time. I
would’ve been mad,” she said.
Jefferies, a sophomore who has been step-
ping since she was five, credits her mother
as her inspiration.
“My mom had a community group, and I
would step here and there, in my church and
high school,” she said.
The summer after her first year at UNC,
she undertook the project of forming an offi-
cially recognized step squad. An older group,
called breaknpoint, had lost recognition.
Brittany Nichols, secretary of the Lambda
Psi chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority,
Inc., said stepping in the Greek system is not
only fun, but a source of pride.
“The Greek aspect changes it. That’s
where it originated,” Nichols said.
Nichols also said the tradition of step in
sororities and fraternities within the histori-
cally black National Pan-Hellenic Council
allows them to have signature moves within
their organizations.
Moves are passed on from class to class,
becoming traditional steps.
The Lambda Psi chapter has passed down
the tradition of using canes in their routines,
and they are the only sorority to do so.
Born2step also has signature steps that
Jefferies developed so that the group could
learn something together. After that, she want-
ed the choreography to be group-oriented,
with everyone contributing to the routine.
“We’re always in the brainstorming stage,

Moore joined the group with no experi-

“I love it. We get together and just have

the group currently, but it is open to all.
Jefferies says her main goal is to cre-

mission of the group is to entertain others
purely through step.
While the Greek steppers have other
activities within their organizations aside
from purely stepping, Nichols says it’s an
important part of their community.

Bowles sends on Bowles’ 2010-11 recommended tuition increases:

UNC-Chapel Hill Non-resident: up $168 to $14,519 Western Carolina

tuition requests Resident: up $200 to $4,065 (5.2%)

Amounts less than legislature mandate
By Ariel Zirulnick
State and national editor
UNC-system President Erskine
Bowles is continuing to promote a
lower tuition increase for system
schools than the increase proposed
by the N.C. General Assembly.
Bowles’ recommendations match
the ones created by individual cam-
puses in the last few months. All are
less than the tuition increase man-
dated by the N.C. General Assembly
at the close of its 2009 session.
At its monthly meeting today, the
budget and finance committee of the
UNC-system Board of Governors is
expected to authorize Bowles’ rec-
ommendations.
The legislature established tuition
increases in August 2009 for the
UNC system that are the lesser of
$200 or 8 percent of the 2009-10
amount.
But Bowles has expressed hope
that the legislature will replace its
mandated increase with the alterna-
tive increases recommended by him,
assuming they are approved by the
Board of Governors.
Bowles also is asking the legisla-
ture to return tuition revenue to the
campuses.
The average school’s tuition
increase based on the legislative
mandate is 7.2 percent, or $180. The
average increase proposal from UNC
campuses is 5.2 percent, or $131.
If the committee approves the
tuition increases, it will go to the
full board Friday for a vote and then
on to the legislature.

Granville Towers gets new look Derickson takes
by Lauren Ratcliffe
Staff writer
Students living in Granville
Towers returned from winter break
to find their residence halls sporting
a bold new look.
Renovations included changes to
each of the three buildings. Many
were visible, some were not, but they
were intended to give the towers a
more updated look and to attract
new residents for the coming years.
“We wanted it to be a place that
students could take pride in and
enjoy coming here,” said Allison
Kenney, assistant general manager
for Granville Towers.
“We understand that it’s different
coming from a home that is deco-
rated a certain way. When you’re
talking about a high-rise building,
it can be hard to do that, so we’re
trying to bridge that gap.”
Some students said the renova-
tions led to their housing decision
for next year.
“It gives Granville a new look,”
said sophomore Chazle’ Lassiter.
“Kind of a cosmopolitan New York
kind of feel. It actually contributed
to my decision to stay in Granville
College food banks see increase in student need
Students struggle
to buy own food
DETROIT (MCT) — Michigan
State University student Nichole
Wickens never imagined standing
in line to get staples from a food
pantry.
But that’s what the 21-year-old is
doing this night at MSU’s Olin Health
Center, where the student-run food
bank has seen a 25 percent jump in
need from the 2007-08 school year.
In three bags, Wickens car-
ries away boxes of instant mashed
potatoes and dried pasta, a loaf of
bakery bread, applesauce and a box
of shredded wheat cereal. At retail,
it’s only worth about $20 — but it
makes a big difference to Wickens.
“My student account was in stocks,
and stocks were hit hard,” Wickens
said. She has a part-time job on cam-
pus as a night receptionist, and gets
some financial aid for tuition. “But
I’m paying for a car, phone, com-
puter, rent and everything else,” she
said, “so coming here really helps. It’s
a resource to students.”

next year because I saw all the
things they were doing.”
Kelly Stasko, general manager
of Granville Towers, would not
provide information on how much
the renovations cost. She said the
costs for the changes were funded
by a yearly budget approved and
provided by the UNC Foundation,
which owns the complex.
The UNC Foundation purchased
the land occupied by Granville
Towers and University Square
in June 2008 for $45.75 million.
Stasko said the renovations were
not related to the change in owner-
ship of the space.
Residents said they were espe-
cially excited about the changes to
the East basement.
“The basement was really wasted
space,” Stasko said. “So we replaced
the carpet and moved the game
tables down there.”
Kenney said more students have
used the game tables since the fur-
niture was relocated.
Most students said they felt the
upgrades were an improvement
over the old look, but said they still
want several features, including
bank. But students are turning to
college-sponsored food banks for
help because of ever-increasing
tuition costs, the loss of financial
aid programs like state scholar-
ships and financial support from
home being cut-off or diminished
because parents have lost jobs.
“This perception that students,
because they’re going to college, have
money isn’t accurate and never was,”
said Dennis Martell, the MSU health
education services coordinator and
the food bank’s faculty adviser.
‘Eat or pay bills’
Grand Valley State University
in Allendale, Mich., opened a
food pantry last April, following
a suggestion from student Susana
Villagomez-Barajas.
“One of the girls I worked with ...
told me she never had food — that
it was either eat or pay bills,” said
Villagomez-Barajas, 20, of Grand
Rapids, Mich., who is majoring in
clinical lab science. “I heard my
friends talking about the same
thing and students in my classes,
so I came up with that idea.”
Villagomez-Barajas talked to the
director of GVSU’s Women’s Center,

wireless Internet, elevator improve-
ments and community printers.
Sophomore resident Mazare
Rogers said there are good and bad
things about the changes to the
main study lounge.
“The new paint they have there
is a calming bluish-green and it
really works to calm me,” she said.
“It’s more spacious, but one thing
I’m not such a fan of is the smaller
tables.”
Almon Hall, a junior resident,
said the renovations were improve-
ments both functionally and aesthet-
ically. He said he personally enjoys
the creation of the game room in the
basement of the East tower.
“We’ve already been down there
to play air hockey and foosball,” he
said. “I know this place has been
here since the 70s. I don’t know if
they’ve done renovations before, but
it didn’t look like they had.”
Stasko said future renovations
will focus on the student rooms and
upgrading amenities, though no
specific details could be provided.

The GVSU food pantry has helped
more than 200 students since it
opened, said Rachael DeWitt, who
runs the food bank while pursuing
a master’s degree in social work and
public administration.
“Students feel the brunt of tough
economic times,” said DeWitt.
“Their parents were able to support
them before, but now their parents
have lost their jobs.”

New Wu-Tang collection totally unnecessary

By Benn WIneka
Staff Writer
The Wu-Tang Clan and its kung
fu-themed debauchery expands
past lyrical prowess into a market-
ing machine that includes a cloth-
ing line and a ’90s video game.
At the group’s core is still the
music, but the Wu name is what
keeps loyalists coming back.
And while the Shaolin institution
still deserves the guffawing that
precedes each release, Wu-Tang
doesn’t mean what it once did.
Enter DJ Mathematics’ new
project. The longtime group DJ and
sometime producer has assembled
his second collection of remixes
and unreleased tracks featuring all
nine original members.
The album assembles tracks
spanning between the start of
recording for The W in 2000
through 2008 — not the group’s
most creative span.
So Mathematics putting together
a bunch of unheard tracks from an
already sparse era begs the question
of quality control. I mean, if they are
worth hearing now, why weren’t they
released? It’s simple. Once Wu, for-
ever Wu. This compilation is undeni-
ably Wu-Tang. From the grimy soul
samples to abrasive lyrics, little dif-
fers from official efforts.
But that familiarity also makes
the release lose a lot of luster.
Unreleased tracks usually delve
into the psyche of artists and get
behind the process at the time. For
a group like Wu-Tang that has for
better or worse thrived on consis-
tency throughout the years, the
effect is not the same.
None of the songs included do
anything to tarnish the sanctified
image of the group, but they aren’t
adding anything to its legacy either.
With the exception of “All Flowers,”
an up-tempo track led by a dis-
torted guitar, and “Strawberries &
Cream,” featuring a slow beat that
lends itself to the articulation of
the MCs, the album is middle of
the road by the group’s standards.
Cuts such as “Rush” show their
age, as hyperactive electric mando-
lin strings easily date the track to
the Fred Durst-collaborating-era
Method Man, a time that shouldn’t

The whole project seems to be

be Mathematics purging his stash of
Wu material. Whatever the motive
behind The Return, it wasn’t worth

Crazy Heart
As an excuse for tremendous
acting, “Crazy Heart” is all that it’s
cracked up to be.
Jeff Bridges is believable, lov-
able and pitiable as “Bad” Blake, a
washed-up, alcoholic country musi-
cian trying to make a living and stage
a comeback. Maggie Gyllenhaal
could be any real-life music reporter
who falls in love with her subject.
Robert Duvall doesn’t even seem
like a professional actor in his role
as Blake’s bartender buddy.
It’s as if a random old gringo
were plucked off the street in
the Tex-Mex borderlands, put in
front of a camera, and told to be
himself.
All this makes for a successful
tone poem, a movie that conveys
the spirit of its subjects. The tonal
quality is in turn enhanced by its
musical nature.
T-Bone Burnett wrote mate-
rial for the soundtrack that got a
well-deserved Oscar nod for Best
Original Song.
And Bridges, lo and behold, can
sing like a charm himself.
But none of this makes “Crazy
Heart” a necessary movie.
There is nothing urgent or
compelling here, nothing that
screams out that it should be
required viewing.
Its story is a bit like its main
character: slobbish and constant-
ly on the verge of cardiac arrest.
Plenty of things happen.
Blake screws up his relationship
with his new love. Blake finds an
uneasy compromise with his one-
time protégée turned pop-country
star.
But they all feel reflexive, as if

“Crazy Heart” also cripples itself revenge. But in Morel’s latest film

Musical group Tinariwen poses for a press photo. The band of artists from the Touareg tribe of the southern
Sahara desert in Africa will perform Monday at Memorial Hall as part of the Carolina Performing Arts Series.
Saharan musicians erase
borders with rock music
By Anna NOrris
Staff writer
The promotion for Tinariwen’s
record should read like an adver-
tisement for a hotel or restaurant:
Come for the attention-grabbing
exotic singing, stay for the acces-
sibility of rock ’n’ roll.
Made up of four members of
the nomadic Touareg tribe which
populates the southern Sahara,
Tinariwen have said that they seek
to capture the spirit and voice of
their desert homeland. Certainly
they have created some kind of
wild force through their blending
of traditional African melodies
with modern elements of electric
guitar-fueled blues and rock.
The sound of the electric guitar is
a striking contrast with the ancient-
sounding lyrics sung in their native
Tamashek language. It would be
easy for the guitar to overshadow
the many facets of the album and
overwhelm the traditional sounds.
Instead Tinariwen wields it like a
scalpel, delicately using it to soften
the rough chanting and make them
melodic, to weave around the singing
and fill the empty space and replace
the drums with choppy rhythmic
chords.
Tinariwen isn’t a fan of chaos,
and the majority of the songs are
structured with a steady, percussive
beat that doesn’t wave and intri-
cately planned guitar that doesn’t
thrive on spontaneity. But what’s
MUSICreview
Tinariwen
Imidiwan
rock
ever-changing and attention-keep-
ing is the powerful emotions and
moods that Tinariwen provokes
with the vocals.
All the members of Tinariwen
have rich, expressive voices that
can go from joyous to mournful
in an instant. On “Assuf Ag Assuf ”
stripped-down singing echoes
with sincerity while the electric
guitar hauntingly mimics the ris-
ing and falling cadence of Ibrahim
Ag Alhabib’s voice. “Tenhert” uses
a hurried, guttural rapping with a
harshness to reflect the unforgiving
landscape that surrounds them.
In another instant, Tinariwen
adds a women and children’s cho-
rus, fleshing out its sound with
joyous harmonies. Such backing
vocals are sprinkled throughout the
album, and when they pop up, it’s
not unlike stumbling upon a desert
oasis. Other effects like birdcalls
and clapping and snapping as drum
substitutes make for a multilayered
and rich listening experience, bely-
ing any preconceptions about the
Sahara being dry and barren.
It’s a case where having music
in a physical rather than electronic
format is a big plus, as the jacket
Diversions
Courtesy of Independiente
provides a rough translation of
the album’s lyrics, where the band
reflects on nature, loss and love.
But even if you can’t understand
what Tinariwen is saying, the pas-
sion that infuses the music and
singing is a universal concept.

Gil Scott-heron
I’m New Here
Spoken word soul
Though his life has been ravished
by HIV, drugs and jail, after 16 years,
Gil Scott-Heron has returned with
I’m New Here, rising above his scars
for a rebirth in music.
Scott-Heron begins with “On
Coming From A Broken Home,
Pt.1,” an honest opinion of the ste-
reotype that has branded many
American families. His description
of growing up includes lacking a
father-figure, being surrounded and
raised by “women-folk” but most
importantly, not considering his “a
broken home.”
Through intertwined soft bel-
lows and strong spoken word, he

varies between elements of blues,
jazz, poetry and hip-hop, accurate-

On a cover of Robert Johnson’s

the pain of generations.
“New York Is Killing Me,” show-

Candice Woodcock, a 2005 UNC graduate and a Morehead-Cain Scholar, will be one of 20 former “Survivor” contestants competing in the special “Heroes vs. Villains” season, which
premieres at 8 p.m. tonight. To prepare for the intense physical challenges and the meager food supply, Woodcock, 27, said she hit the gym, trying to build up muscle and gain weight.

BY Sarah Rankin

When “Survivor” contestant
Candice Woodcock was eliminated
from the show’s 2006 Cook Islands
season, she thought her days — and
episodes — on reality television
were finished.
But then the show’s producers
asked her to return for a second
try, and Woodcock, a 2005 UNC
graduate, just couldn’t say “no.”
Although she was in the middle
of planning her wedding and was
attending medical school at George
Washington University, Woodcock
said she couldn’t get the invitation
out of her head.
“It kept eating away at me, so I
went and asked my school what we
could do,” she said. “I started ask-
ing my wedding vendors thinking,
‘This is a long shot.’ And when the
pieces started falling into place, I

in your blood. You can’t say no.”
So, with the support of her fami-
ly, fiancé and future parents-in-law,
Woodcock postponed her wedding
and took a reprieve from medical
school to film the season.
She will be one of 20 former
“Survivor” contestants competing
in the special “Heroes vs. Villains”
season, which premieres at 8
p.m. tonight. Woodcock, who is
not among the more well-known
returners, is a member of the
“Heroes” tribe.
Janel Monroe, a senior from
Fayetteville who, like Woodcock,
attended Terry Sanford High
School, said she supports
Woodcock.
“I don’t know her, but I know
her brother, Michael,” she said.
“I’m proud of her for participating

To prepare for the intense physi-
cal challenges and the meager food
supply, Woodcock, 27, said she hit
the gym, trying to build up muscle
and intentionally gain weight.
“You can never eat enough for
when you go out there, and you’re
starving,” she said.
As a Morehead-Cain Scholar,
Woodcock was provided the
opportunity to spend the summer
before her freshman year par-
ticipating in an Outward Bound
excursion. She traveled to Africa
another summer to teach at a
school and run a service project of
her own design, distributing pairs
of used eyeglasses.
Woodcock said both experiences
helped her prepare for the chal-
lenge and adventure of “Survivor.”
“It allowed me to go out there with

Woodcock said her family mem-

excited for this season’s premiere.
“We’re going to have a party at
our office this Thursday,” said her
mother, Debbie Woodcock. “Our
employees are going, and we’re
going to start a Candice fan club.”
Woodcock’s younger brother,
Michael, 20, said he is a little wor-

sister will be fine.
“I think Russell was able to
manipulate a lot of those players,”
he said. “I’m not sure he’s going

The group’s planned monthly
meetings will center around pre-
sentations from experts outside of
the task force. Questions of how
their testimonies relate to UNC
will be compiled and answered by
University administrators.
Wednesday’s presentations
included Associate Vice Chancellor
of Campus Services Carolyn Elfland
delivering a history of the cogen-

in 1920. Toben explained the origin
of coal backlash, beginning around
2000 when its health effects began
to be widely known.
Bruce Nilles, deputy director
of conservation for Sierra Clubs
National and executive director of
Beyond Coal, spoke to the Energy
Task Force over the phone.
Nilles discussed the importance
of universities getting involved in
the fight against coal, and gave
examples of other universities
working with the Beyond Coal
campaign, including Cornell and
Ball State universities.
At the next meeting, the group
will hear from Ray DuBose, man-
ager of the cogeneration plant.
“He’ll be a technical consultant

work with him so we can look at

Shah hopes for repeat of 2009 race Families file suit in

Assistant University Editor
The popular male frontrunner
gets more than 40 percent of the
vote. His large campaign staff is
thrilled to head into a runoff against
the female candidate who won a
much smaller portion of the vote.

It’s reminiscent of last year’s

took 41 percent of the initial vote
in a six-candidate field.

But Monique Hardin — the

a lot of sway over the outcome of
the runoff — is still deciding which
candidate, if any, she will endorse.

Chatham killings
BY Sarah Frier
City Editor
The descendants of two elderly
women who were beaten to death
by their housekeeper are suing a
retirement community in Chatham
County for failing to prevent it.
The complaint in the wrong-
ful death lawsuit states that the
retirement community should
have run a background check to
discover that the housekeeper,
Barbara Clark, had a history of
forging checks and was ordered
by a court to stay away from the
elderly.
Representatives for the retire-
ment community did not respond
to calls for comment.
Margaret Murta, 92, and Mary
Corcoran, 82, were beaten to
death by a cane at the Galloway
Ridge retirement community in
Pittsboro in December 2007 after
they learned Clark was forging
their checks for money.
Clark, who had been cleaning
their apartment on Saturdays since
2006, pleaded guilty to first-degree
murder in 2008 and is serving life
without parole at Raleigh’s North
Carolina Correctional Institution
for Women.
The estates of the elderly women
who were beaten are asking for
$10,000 from the retirement
community in damages to help
pay medical and funeral expenses,
according to the complaint.
The lawyers for the elderly wrote
in the complaint that because the
retirement community advertises
that they ensure the well-being

of residents and secure residents
from harm, they should have run
a background check.
The complaint also states that
the first 911 call reporting the beat-
ing came five minutes after the first
pages were received from Murta
and Corcoran’s alarm pendant.
The community also should
have been on the lookout for peo-
ple taking advantage of the elderly,
the complaint states.
If they had done those things,
they would have discovered that
Clark had a history, the complaint
states. As part of a 2001 plea deal
after she was found guilty of forg-
ing two checks out of the bank
account of an elderly resident,
Clark was ordered not to work in
a position where she had access to
the elderly’s property and posses-
sions, the complaint states.
Also, starting in 2004, she
began to forge checks for herself
from a family of four who lived in
Chapel Hill, the complaint states.
Marissa Zang, spokeswoman
for the law firm representing the
women, said this kind of wrongful
death case is not out of the ordi-
nary. But Clark’s trial caught the
attention of the public, she said.
Because the lawsuit was just
filed, there is no set date for the
first hearing, Zang said.

So, despite meaningful perfor-
mances from each player, UNC (13-
11, 2-7 ACC) suffered from Duke’s
late run and found itself facing its
fourth straight loss.
“Their kids played their hearts
out, and unless we got a few buck-
ets there, the game could have gone
the other way,” Duke coach Mike
Krzyzewski said.
Despite a long quiet stretch in
the middle of the game, Graves hit
several crucial jumpers to keep the
game close. As UNC started to fade

ond, just as it had in previous ACC
play, his 3-pointer from the wing

of Jon Scheyer’s layups on the same
possession. By halftime, enough
seemingly open layups at the basket
had been cruelly sent back by Henson
and Davis that the Blue Devils were
thinking about a challenge every
time they went to the post.
While Duke (20-4, 8-2 ACC)
relied more and more on difficult
runners and jump shots, their field
goal percentage stayed low — very
low. Duke was shooting below 30
percent well into the second half.
But UNC couldn’t do much better.
The Tar Heels shot under 40 percent

The Daily Tar Heel
Recession a≠ecting young people’s minds
By jen serdetchnaia
STAFF WRITER
The current generation of col-
lege students lacks confidence in
its financial stability and other
key areas due to the ongoing
recession.
According to study results
released Monday, although the
recession has affected different
demographic groups at varying lev-
els, the college population is being
hit hardest overall.
Arizona Pathways to Life Success
for University Students is one of
the first research studies of its kind
to interview the same group of stu-
dents on financial attitudes before
and during the recession.
The first survey was conducted
in spring 2008 and the second in
More companies intend
to develop e-textbooks
UNC students slow to accept them
By Jeremiah Gregg
Staff Writer
With the release of Apple’s iPad,
software companies and textbook
publishers are lining up to take
advantage of the new technology.
But students might not be so
ready to adapt.
ScrollMotion, a company that
designs software for Apple Inc.
devices, is the most recent to
announce its intent to work with
textbook publishers to format text-
books for use on the iPad.
“This is the first time you have
the device, content and retail ele-
ments all at the same time,” said
John Lema, CEO of New York-
based ScrollMotion.
“I don’t think you could keep
this from happening if you tried.”
McGraw-Hill, one of the coun-
try’s largest textbook publishers,
has already made 1,300 digi-
tal textbooks available through
CourseSmart, which UNC has a
contract with.
Ninety-five percent of all its
textbooks are available in some
digital format, said Mary Skafidas,
spokeswoman for McGraw-Hill.

spring 2009.
“They’re very leery about their
own ability to manage finances,”
said Joyce Serido, the co-principal
investigator and project manager
of the study at the University of
Arizona.
“They’re feeling vulnerable.”
A decline in confidence, both
academic and financial, was
observed in all the participants,
she said. Debt increases also were
widespread.
Credit card debt was up 60 per-
cent among white participants
and 219 percent among African-
American students, Serido said.
There is significant concern
that debt will prompt students to
rethink pursuing higher education
and long-term planning, she said.
Despite the optimism of soft-
ware developers and textbook pub-
lishers, UNC students have yet to
buy into the digital format.
Only 150 digital textbooks were
sold by UNC Student Stores this
semester, said Kelly Hanner, course
materials manager.
“The technology is not complete-
ly developed yet,” Hanner said. “It’s
a very new product for faculty and
students. We are happy to offer it to
those who are ready for it.”
Digital textbooks do offer some
advantages. Typically, e-textbooks
are about half of the price of a new
print edition, Hanner said.
CourseSmart books also enable
students to highlight, use tag
notes and e-mail parts of the text
to friends.
But e-textbooks have no resale
value and students only have access
to the books for a limited time.
“Essentially, students are rent-
ing the book for a period of time,”
Skifidas said. “We get paid for each
usage.”
This is a big plus for publishers,
since they don’t profit when a tra-
ditional textbook is resold.

Complain
to make
someone
else’s day
I
was in the hospital a week
and a half ago. I had the dis-
tinct pleasure of being afflict-
ed with both pneumonia and
mononucleosis. While everyone
was enjoying the snow that fell in
Chapel Hill, I was restricted to a
hospital bed, gown and all.
It was in this rare instance that
I felt I could justifiably complain
about my bedridden-ness. But
before doing so, I checked myself.
Everyone hates a complainer,
especially one who complains all
the time about frivolous things —
The Frequent Complainer.
If it’s a sunny day, it’s too hot.
In a fancy restaurant, the light-
ing is too dim. The glass is always
half empty.
There’s usually an easily iden-
tifiable frequent complainer
in any group of friends. Until
recently, I unconditionally hated
the Frequent Complainer. Come
on, get over yourself, I would
think. No one cares how tired you
are, or how stressed you might be
about some upcoming test.
Because of my distaste for
Frequent Complainers, I have
always been pretty conscious
about my level of complaining.
Only in the most dire of cir-
cumstances, when my life is truly
horrific and everyone should
know about it, do I dare to issue a
complaint. The only thing worse
than a Frequent Complainer is
one who doesn’t tolerate other
Frequent Complainers. A hypo-
crite.
Because I had some extra time
at my disposal in the hospital, I
began to reevaluate my stance on
complaining, and I had a revela-
tion.
It’s okay to complain, I decid-
ed. Yes, it’s okay to complain as
long as you know beyond a doubt
that you have the most pathetic,
tragic, sympathy-grabbing story.
This makes sense to me on two
separate levels.
Everyone enjoys complain-
ing. It relieves you of some level
of stress, and maybe you can get
some pity points out of it if you
have a particularly sympathetic
friend.
But if used in moderation and
with good timing, a good com-
plaint can be beneficial to all par-
ties involved.
Who doesn’t like learning that
someone else has had a worse day
than themselves?
Man, I had a pretty crappy day,
and I think I failed my test, but at
least I didn’t get a speeding ticket
and arrive late for an interview as
a result. Knowing that someone
else is in a worse position imme-
diately makes your day that much
better, regardless of your own
situation.
I think moderation and
self-awareness are the keys to
a good complaint. One or two
well-timed complaints a week
can certainly have a positive
effect on the mood of others,
but any more than that and you
are living a borderline pathetic
life.
Also, self-awareness. Like I
said previously, no one likes a
Frequent Complainer. If you’re
going to complain, you really
need to be sure that your com-
plaint won’t be trumped. In order
to have a good complaint, you
need to go all out, and you need
to be sure that no one else has a
story that out-complains yours.
So give the Frequent
Complainer in your group of
friends a second chance. Maybe
he or she really does have a story
worth complaining about. And it
might just make you feel a little
better yourself.

Chancellor Holden Thorp will

Abuse of power
Endorsement from senior o∞cers was inappropriate
S
enior C lass Officers
Meggie Staffiera and
Sebastian Williams’ use
of the senior class listserv to
endorse Hogan Medlin for
student body president flies
in the face of past decisions by
elected leaders not to involve
themselves in elections.
The Student Code expressly
forbids using student govern-
ment e-mail lists to endorse a
candidate.
But the endorsement is tech-
nically on behalf of the Senior
Class Marshal Executive Board,
which is under the General
Alumni Association and not
student government.
While technically not a vio-
lation of the Code, this action
certainly goes against the sen-
timent that elected campus
leaders should not weigh in on
the election to replace them.

By Mark Viser, mviser@email.unc.edu
Tar Heel, executive branch offi-
cials stressed that “an endorse-
ment from the senior class is
without precedent.”
They also stressed their own
inability to endorse as embodied
in the Code.
“We felt that we had made
our case and that their decision
and its consequences rested
with them,” said the statement
from student government.
C l e a r l y, W i l l i a m s a n d
Staffiera didn’t take the hint.
The presidents decided to
endorse after recent low voter
turnout among seniors.
“We looked at the voting
results from last year of seniors,
and it was pretty abysmal,”
Williams said.
While the intentions might be
innocent, they do not negate the
fact that senior class representa-
tives exploited a loophole in the
Code to exert disproportionate

influence on a significant voting
block. They could have merely
sent out a listserv e-mail urging
students to vote, without offer-
ing a specific endorsement.
Williams and Staffiera said
they participated in the endorse-
ment interview, but ultimately
left the voting to the Senior Class
Marshal Executive Board.
But even though they didn’t
vote on the endorsement, their
decision to personally e-mail
that endorsement implicitly
carries their blessing.
The prohibition on using
listservs for candidate endorse-
ments should extend to the
senior class presidents.
Current officeholders should
not have the power to exert
such influence over who will
replace them or other campus
leaders.
The Student Code should be
modified to reflect this.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Article ignored the LGBTQ
community here at UNC
TO THE EDITOR:
Over the past three days, a lot
of attention has been brought to
The New York Times article on
the gender gap at UNC.
Although the comments to
this article have discussed the
implications associated with the
outdated, sexist thinking that
assumes all women are look-
ing for men (and that all men
are only looking to “hook up”),
little attention has been brought
to the LGBTQ community on
campus.
What the article fails to men-
tion is that male-female rela-
tionships are not the only types
of relationships people enter
into.
The only attempt (that I’ve
seen) to include any type of
minority into the discussion was
in the “Online reader responses”
section in Wednesday’s DTH.
But even these comments
failed to mention specific
minorities and therefore still
left attention on heterosexual
individuals.
By completely ignoring the
fact that many students on cam-
pus do identify as LGBTQ, the
article, along with the responses,
are continuing to sustain a soci-
ety where heterosexism is accept-
able and minority populations
are completely ignored. This also
reinforces the male/masculine
female/feminine binaries that
are pervasive in our culture and
leads to discrimination against
anyone who rejects these gender
binaries.

UNC-Duke rivalry is the
most heated out there
TO THE EDITOR:
In Tuesday’s edition of The
Daily Tar Heel, the UNC-Duke
rivalry was completely dismissed
in the article “Rivalry between
UNC, Duke not that heated,”
(Feb. 9) Not that heated? Not
so fast.
Survival of Carolina’s basket-
ball dynasty is contingent on
pressure that mounts just eight
miles away. Duke serves as moti-
vation; in-state rivalry betters
both teams to excel in hopes of
an NCAA victory.
Rivalry is not synonymous
with hate. Students may not
use “hate” in reference to their
rival, but that doesn’t make the
“Battle for Tobacco Road” any
less intense.
It’s possible to passionately
“hate on Duke” while somewhat
respecting Duke basketball.
After all, if Coach K didn’t have
a successful history, who would
be our ACC rival? As a former
N.C. State University cheerlead-
er, I can say that it wouldn’t be
the Wolfpack. The UNC-Duke
rivalry is second to none.
The DTH’s featured poll
revealed 44 percent of people
“don’t care” which team wins;
however, we must look at facts,
not an inaccurate pie chart. Duke
has roughly 6,500 undergradu-
ate students; Carolina is barely
shy of 18,000. The poll was a
reflection of 678 North Carolina
voters. I repeat: 678. What kind
of number is that? There are over
678 self-proclaimed Cameron
Crazies. I’m from Durham; I’ve

While we strongly dislike
each other, labeling that feeling
“hatred” marks immaturity. The
rivalry is alive; alive and hot,
locally and among alumni of both
schools who, despite leaving that
eight-mile stretch, carry the heat
to all parts of the globe.

Housing ordinance would,
in fact, have flexibility
TO THE EDITOR:
Regarding your editiorial “No
ordinance needed,” (Feb. 4): You
could not be more wrong. Your
grasp of the facts and issues
involved in the review process,
the subsidy costs of affordable
housing and “penalty” approach
of the current negotiation pro-
cess is amazing.
Most of the flexibility you
think the ordinance will not per-
mit, in fact is wrong. Flexibility
to craft good solutions is the cen-
terpiece of the ordinance.
As a Inclusionary Task Force
member and 20 year practitioner
of creating equitable affordable
housing ordinances, I expected
better from the only local news-
paper left in Chapel Hill.

Coverage of Campus Y
election result abysmal
TO THE EDITOR:
Although the race for student
body president is at the forefront
of many students’ minds, the
Campus Y also held an election
for its leaders on Tuesday.
While the SBP run-off elec-
tion is a front-page story, it was
disappointing to see only a few
sentences about the results of the
Y election in the “Campus Briefs”
section. For a close race of seven
qualified candidates to lead the
University’s largest student ser-
vice organization, the lack of
coverage is frustrating: merely
two inches.
While Friday’s article “Seven
vie in UNC’s Campus Y presi-
dent elections” highlighted the
candidates, we are disappointed
in the follow-up coverage for the
election results.
Elizabeth McCain and
Marjorie Betubiza, co-presidents
elect, and Allie Howard, internal
treasurer, deserve to be recog-
nized for their success. This is
the first year for the Campus Y
to have two elected female co-
presidents, and we had the high-
est voter turnout in recent years
for a Campus Y election.
With the approaching 150th
Anniversary celebration, a Web
site overhaul, increasing fiscal
responsibility and advancing
alumni relations, this is a big
year for Campus Y leadership. We
hope that in the future, the DTH
will provide better follow-up cov-
erage for all student elections.
