Proposal for gay-friendly
contractors to be discussed
A proposal that would bolster
Carrboro’s gay-friendly reputation
will likely be passed this spring.
The town’s Board of Aldermen
discussed a policy at its retreat
Sunday that would make any private
contractor working with Carrboro
have non-discrimination policies for
its employees.
Alderman Lydia Lavelle, who
proposed the idea, said when the
town hires outside contractors for
building projects, she always reviews
each company’s non-discrimination
policy. Companies generally protect
discrimination based on race and
gender, but sexual orientation is
often overlooked, she said.
Companies have been receptive to
updating their policies if they do not
cover gays and lesbians, she said.
Lavelle, who is gay, said the pro-
posal is personal for her, even if it
wasn’t sparked by any discrimina-
tion she has witnessed.

Trash

some control over what will get land-
filled, said Gayle Wilson, Orange
County’s solid waste manager.
Orange County has posted the
third-best waste reduction num-
bers in the state, decreasing its trash
output by 54 percent since 1991.
Durham, however, has gone back-
wards, producing 1 percent more.
That could mean more green-
house gas producing materials,
like most organic waste, will not
be properly disposed.
“There’s the as yet unknown
impact of not being able to apply
our regulations,” he said. “We’re
worried about a little waste reduc-
tion slippage.”
The county’s decision could also
affect UNC, which aims to be car-
bon neutral by 2050.
The University wants to find a
place in-county to send its trash.
But in an effort to free up space in
the county landfill, the University
has been shipping its waste to a
private transfer station also in
Durham for about a year.
That means an increase in haul-
ing distance and a spike in emissions
that could complicate sustainability
goals, said BJ Tipton, UNC’s solid
waste program manager.
“It’s one that we haven’t ana-
lyzed directly, but it’s a possibility,”
she said. “The change has added
some hauls.”
Money crunch
The exact financial costs of the
decision have yet to be worked out.
Officials and consultants in
waste management say truck-
ing trash to Durham will cost the
county more than building a local
transfer station would have, espe-
cially in the long-run.
Olver estimates that a local
transfer station would have saved
the county up to $15 million.
The decision will also expose the
county to more risk as variables like

“This is an appropriate memo-

“It is a peaceful, beautiful place

the good times that they had with
those they might have lost.”
chairman of the solid waste advisory
board, and Wilson agreed.
“Logic tells me that there are
other ways of doing things that are
cheaper,” Sassaman said.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro, which
have a longer trip to the Durham
transfer station, face an annual
increase of about $223,000 and
$109,000, respectively, in hauling
costs over shipping to an in-county
transfer station, according to Olver.
Hillsborough, which is closer
to the Durham station, will actu-
ally save about $3,000 annually by
shipping to Durham.
But commissioners seem reluc-
tant to rely on that data.
“There are fiscal and environ-
mental costs no matter where we
go,” Jacobs said.
“We need to decide what the
actual costs are in a process that is
not consultant-driven.”
Some activists agree.
Orange County Voice, which
played a prominent role in defeat-
ing attempts to site a transfer sta-
tion in the county, has endorsed the
Durham option as the most fiscally
sound.
“Olver misinformed the pub-
lic and the county on costs,” said
Bonnie Hauser, a spokeswoman
for Orange County Voice.
Bob Sallach, Olver president,
said the numbers were as accurate
as possible and approved by town
and county staff.
How short is the short run
How long local trash will be
headed out of the county ultimately
depends on one factor: how long it
takes the county to develop an
alternative solution.
The commissioners plan to start
the process this month in a meet-
ing with local governments.
But given the many options avail-
able, from relatively unproven waste-
to-energy technologies to regional
partnerships, it could be years from
conception to ribbon cutting.

GUIDO/GUIDETTE BREAK - TOTAL COST: $29

Prospective guidos: First, apply spiking cement to hair for a “blowout” hairdo. Next,
use spray tan products to turn your skin to an orange-bronze shade (in conjunction with
the spray tan you should look like a giant pepper.) You are now sexually attractive. Hit the
nearest club in town and call yourself an “Italian Stallion.” Talk to guidettes (fake-breasted
females preferred).
Prospective guidettes: Spray tan yourself until you’re a living statue. Show up to
the club an hour later than what you told your guido companions, as they will all
immediately flock to you after being rejected by non-guidette females.
Once the male is drunk, convince him to buy you a Juicy Couture track-
suit before you both return to a beach house and pass out.
Final tab: Bahama bronze spray tan in a can - $10; wife beater tank top
- $7; creatine powder - $12; Gold’s Gym trial membership - free. -Rocco Giamatteo

‘80s BREAK - TOTAL COST: $42

On your way out of Chapel Hill for the week, make sure you prepare your ‘80s spring
break with a stop by your local 7-Eleven to pick up a six-pack of Miller High Life — it’s hot
now, and it was hella hot in ’85. Or so I’m told.
Hike up your leg warmers and load your tape deck with Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly. As
Fagen drones on about the radio, whatever that thing is, start working on a big ol’ bowl of
Jell-O pudding and prepare yourself for a marathon of “The Cosby Show.”
Now, no ’80s spring break is complete without a rave, so grab a few glow-
sticks and The Best of Laserdance and dance into the future on a “Laser
Run.”
Final tab: Glowsticks (box of 50) - $10; Laserdance, The Best of
Laserdance - $10; Donald Fagen, The Nightfly - $10, “The Cosby Show,” Season
One - $12. - Joseph Chapman

MIDDLE SCHOOL BREAK - TOTAL: $24.50

Budding tweens, hop into your mom’s PT Cruiser for a trip down to Southpoint for
some prime loitering. Get a ticket to “Tooth Fairy” so you can finagle yourself into “The
Crazies.”
The theater’s fountain is an excellent spot for your posse after a movie and a place to enjoy
the warm weather. Wait a few hours until you can convince an older sibling to pick you up
and find a good bonus room for your crew.
Make sure MTV’s Spring Break is on and The Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D. is
playing, because this night’s going to be a good, good night.
Final tab: One student movie ticket - $7.50; 4 oz. can of Axe body
spray - $6; The Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D. - $11; one Mike’s Hard
Lemonade (to be split between you and four friends) - free (pilfered from parents,
obviously). -Lyle Kendrick

REDNECK BREAK - TOTAL: $49.94

Git ‘er done, y’all! It’s spring break ’10, and even if you’re spending it in the boonies, there’s
plenty of fun to be had. Borrow Uncle Bud’s shotgun, line up a few PBR cans and fire away
— leave the dance clubs, piña coladas and MTV debauchery to the city folk.
Crack open a tall boy, grab your fishing rod and make your own fun, because you’ll save
some major cash. Sure, you may get your hands a little dirty from all those deer
you’ll shoot and subsequently stuff, but if you’re looking for a staycation that doesn’t
revolve around your couch, hop in your pick-up truck, adjust the mud flaps and
get ready to roll.
Final tab: Borrowed hunting rifle - free; four PBR tall boys - about
$8; borrowed truck for off-roading - free; DVD rental of “Deliverance”
- $4; Big Mouth Billy Bass (electronic singing fish wall plaque) - $37.94 used on
Amazon.com. -Linnie Greene

CARRBORO BREAK - TOTAL: $9

Why leave Mecca for spring break? See when the Really, Really Free Market is meeting
up and take a poke around. The market is true to its name - you can literally take anything
you want and not give anything back.
Carrboro is notorious for its dance parties, so when the sun goes down, grab your
best friend’s home-brewed beer and keep your ear to Greensboro Street; I’m sure
you’ll hear about one.
My last bit of advice? The proprietors of the über cool Carrburritos
recently opened its new endeavor Bowbarr, a nice little watering hole
with seriously awesome sinks — yeah, they’re molded of concrete with
fancy stones. It’s only feet from the eatery.
Final tab: Really, Really Free Market — really free; home-brewed beer —free from a
friend; cover charge — $5; beer at Bowbarr — $4. -Benn Wineka

THE WHITE RIBBON
Ernest Hemingway is said to
have once been asked if he could tell
a story in six words. His response:
“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”
The same evidentiary storytelling
marks Michael Haneke’s film.
Ensnaring viewers in the trepi-
dation of events unseen and char-
acters unexplored, this film dis-
ciplines you to imagine what lies
beyond the frame and handsomely
rewards you for it. You find yourself
conceding to Haneke’s bleak por-
trait of humanity, arriving at dis-
turbing revelations he has hidden
in this striking, quiet picture.
Set in 1913 in the fictitious
Protestant village of Eichwald,
Germany, the film juggles the lives
of several scrupulous villagers
who hear of random, disturbing
acts of terrorism that plague the
hamlet. Narrated as recollections
of Eichwald’s only schoolteach-
er (Christian Friedel), the story
probes the misguided dogma that
veneers the sin-ridden town, while
the mysterious incidents grow
more violent and inhumane.
Haneke constructs his signa-
ture harrowing sense of realism
in nearly every scene. Long takes
with enduring, deafening silences
inspire momentary suspensions of
the mind. You don’t just watch this
picture — you breathe it in.
The film crawls through its static
storyline, spotlighting the excep-
tional performances of the film’s
young cast. Transmitting internal
outrage through facades of endear-
ment, these children may vex your
subconscious as profoundly as the
twin girls from “The Shining.”

Operatic puppets prove Titus referentially rocks out

robots can feel the love band hits hard
Literary Jersey
BY Benn Wineka
staff writer
The word robot derives from
the Czech robota, meaning drudg-
ery and compulsory slave labor. It
is now defined as an oft-fictional
machine that can perform com-
plex actions but lacks the capacity
for human emotions.
If this is true, then can some-
one tell me why the hell dancing
automatons are recounting an
ancient story of love and sacrifice
over at the ArtsCenter?
“It’s a new telling of a story
of heart and passion, just using
the vehicle of robots,” explains
Donovan Zimmerman, co-founder
of Saxapahaw’s Paperhand Puppet
Intervention.
Zimmerman and PPI have been
putting on elaborate productions
in the area for more than a decade.
PPI’s stage show more often focus-
es on organic and natural motifs
such as insects or memory.

approached Zimmerman with the
score for what would become “Love
and Robots: A Puppet Rock Opera
in 0s & 1s,” he was on board.
“We’re always up for a challenge,
and people that know Paperhand
will see a lot of similarities. We’re
using a lot of the same themes,
like, there’s still a goddess,” says
self-professed goddess worshiper
Zimmerman as he sits in front of
the modular set of shadow boxes
and faux electronics used in the
show.

Temple” but preaches like a revival-
ist, “L&R” chronicles the existence
of The Messenger, whose trials and
tribulations mimic real life.
Throughout the show, the man-
sized puppet played by Zimmerman
has to deal with interrogation
robots and megacorporations, not
to mention a war.
“Most of the people involved
with the program have some back-
ground in political activism, which
shows through in the production,”
Zimmerman says. “Our robots are
out there searching for peace and a
loving revolution.”
Although he was never a robot
geek before the show, Zimmerman
says the more he researched the
history of robots, the more it
piqued his interest.
Besides the details he could
include on the set and puppets
for an added “ethos,” Zimmerman
became interested in the develop-
ment of an “ethical slave class” by
humans.
“There’s a real push in humans to
have a mastery of their surround-
ings,” Zimmerman said. “Humans
will always play at being the creator
trying to reach that penultimate
achievement of creating a class
like robots.”
This almost sounds funny com-
ing from a man who makes pup-

creations — like the caretaker and
artist whose robotic paintbrush
hand does live portraits during
each show — are embodiments of
an ideal human sentiment.
The challenge wasn’t to get the
heartless characters onstage to
emit emotions but rather to have
the audience connect with an
imaginary class of sub-humans.
And Zimmerman and Magoo
hope to do just that, combining
“cool visuals and kickass music
into an hour-and-ten-minute sci-
fi romp.”

I can’t tell you if New Jersey’s
Titus Andronicus has a truly broad
appeal. I just know that it does a
doozy on me.
I love the statement of naming
your band after Shakespeare’s gori-
est play. Titus Andronicus is out for
blood, and every English nerd out
there will know it from the start.
I love Bruce Springsteen, and
this band’s every move careens
down the melodramatic E Street
turnpikes paved by The Boss.
But the biggest thing that turns
me on to the group is that I con-
nect every instance of my life with
some lyric, scene or chapter. And
holy hell does Patrick Stickles love
to make references.
In “A More Perfect Union,” the
first song on sophomore effort The
Monitor, the ever-ranting Titus
frontman alludes to “The Dark
Knight,” Confederate President
Jefferson Davis and “Born to Run.”
It’s a rumbling, rambling affair that
shoves big band rock ‘n’ roll through
a ferociously broken-hearted punk
filter. The distortion’s ramped up,
and the throttle’s been slammed
to the floor, but it’s still the kind
of long-form classic rock epic Pete
Townshend would love.
From this forcefully familiar
pulpit, Stickles compounds post-
modern depression into an instant-
ly intelligible vernacular.
“I’m not looking to change the
world. I’m just looking for a new
New Jersey because tramps like us,
baby we were born to die!” Stickles
screams in the first of the song’s

riding the most famous declaration
from one of rock’s most famous
artists. But sometimes a sledge-
hammer works best, and by rudely
forcing such well-known turns
of phrase into his vitriol, Stickles
gains instantaneous impact.
And he earns every gimmick.
Stickles eviscerates humanity with
fervor and style. He takes grand
shots at the systems of society and
politics without offering any solu-
tions.
But that’s the point. He has
either given up or doesn’t care and
has decided to turn the end of days
into one hell of a rocking shindig.

If there’s one thing that comes to
mind right away when listening to
Dessa, it’s a comparison to Lauryn

with an anxiety that’s both uneasy
and intriguing.

Pavement ‘Best Of ’
Zealand frontier at the turn of the
century. Exploring love, power and
sound, this movie garnered three
Oscars for its lush scenery, eccentric

Hill.
The Minnesotan Doomtree
artist is a renaissance woman.
Coming from a collective known
for its alternative hip-hop predi-
lection by way of founder P.O.S.,
Dessa adds another stratum to
what could otherwise quickly be
labeled as self-absorbent heart-
land heartache.
The emcee was spawned out of
the spoken word and slam poetry
world.
And while prose still has a ten-
dency to pour out of Dessa, it’s
her rich alto that sets her apart.
She’s not forcing the soul into
her voice. The girl’s just got some
pipes.
Songs such as “Dixon’s Girl,”
a tale told through the eyes of a
scorned girlfriend, are more like
Billie Holiday than a white girl
from the Midwest.
Her rhymes, while not as stellar,
are formidable and overall enter-
taining.
As catchy as they are region-
al, Dessa’s rap influences point
toward her former beau P.O.S.
and fellow North Star State native
Atmosphere. The production on
“Matches to Paper Dolls” sounds
like a B-side from an Atmosphere
record.
And Dessa’s inflection takes
a page right out of that group’s
guide book. Even the trailer
park blues appeal of “Dutch” is
reminiscent of early Kid Rock
or Everlast. Don’t worry, it’s in a
good way.
A Badly Broken Code is ste-
reotypical Minnesota hip-hop in
the absolute best way, but it’s also
uniquely Dessa.
And that’s what Doomtree Lost Souls LIke Us
breeds: its own strain of distinc-
tive artists.

endearingly flawed vocals don’t
mimic the forced introspection of
mumbled indie rock. Instead, you
find yourself charmed by the figure
that emits these paranoid lyrics, a
bundle of apprehension and energy
that rejects brooding in favor of
rock ‘n’ roll rowdiness.
Musically, The Brutalist Bricks
relies on a mixture of tried-and-true
punk and pop. Songs like “Where
Was My Brain?” — from which
the album gets its title — rides
forcefully on a wave of fast-paced
drums and frantic power chords.
And where amateurs rely on these
standards alone, Leo laces the tune
with dark, quirky and clever lyrics,
barking, “I thought that gradual
disillusion would be no way to go
/ Where was my brain?”
This formula succeeds in main-
taining the listener’s interest and
attention throughout most of the
record, but a few songs falter. “The
Stick” sounds like an aged cover of
The Offspring, and in the din of
thrashing guitar and unintelligible
lyrics, it’s nearly impossible to dis-
cern Leo’s oft-charming vocals. The
track’s merciless, driving rhythm
detracts from the group’s humor,
complexity and novelty.
The Brutalist Bricks, for the
most part, showcases Ted Leo and
the Pharmacists’ winsome combi-
nation of neurotic indie wit and
rock ‘n’ roll grit. There are a few
exceptions, but as a whole, the
record proves that the most brutal
aspect of Ted Leo is his stinging
lyrical sensibility.
—Linnie Greene
benjy davis project
pop/rock
Don’t let Lost Souls Like Us trick
you into thinking you’re about to
listen to a deep, revelation-filled
composition. The title of the album
is the only really arresting thing
about it.
Davis’s music is infused with
toxic simplicity, his poison of choice
being wistful songs that reflect on
personal faults, failed relationships
and good times past. The combi-
nations of slide guitar and catchy
hooks land Davis somewhere
between mainstream country and
pop, a combination that’s acces-
sible to just about everyone but
nothing incredibly innovative.
Unfortunately, Davis has sacri-
ficed originality for the sake of this
accessibility. His love troubles are
nothing you haven’t heard before,
and all the songs seem to ride on
big guitar chords and drums, with
little room for intricacy or sur-
prise.
There is an appealing, laid-back
attitude to the album, making it a
breezy affair that goes by quickly,
search elsewhere.
-Anna Norris
peasant
shady retreat
folk/pop
Under the moniker Peasant,
singer-songwriter Damien DeRose
combines poppy piano with ele-
ments of folk to make relationship
woes appear more upbeat than
his lyrics actually suggest. With a
style almost too similar to Rocky
Votolato, Peasant creates a folk-
infused mixture passable for love-
sick hearts.
The album’s opening songs
begin with punchy piano chords
and delicate vocals, an effect that’s
light and charming as DeRose’s
voice shines through the songs. The
vocally-centered songs with easy-
going tones turn Shady Retreat
into a lazily relaxed and ethereal
folk album.
On “The End,” DeRose’s waver-
ing voice calls out with the despera-
tion of a broken lover. Despondent
lyrics like “Are you alone tonight?
Are you alone every night?” com-
bine with gentle percussion and
forlorn acoustic guitars to drive
home the strong emotion DeRose
fills the album with.
DeRose does vary the generally
upbeat tempo sometimes, especial-
ly in the latter half. Songs like “Into
the Woods” and “Tough” lull the lis-
tener in with blatantly melancholy
lyrics and slow, acoustic-driven
melodies but ultimately follow the
same slightly boring structure.
While the songs are well-craft-
ed and no longer than necessary,
DeRose loses momentum as the
record goes on, and the songs
slowly blur together.
His formula might be simple
and refreshing, but the substance
of the album renders it little more
than a genre exercise.

a useless collection
By Joseph Chapman
Staff Writer
For a band so renowned for its
delicately conceptual albums, com-
piling the most popular tracks into
a “greatest hits” format is a con-
tradiction. And when that band is
Pavement — the de facto monarchs
of the Pitchfork empire — the con-
trary nature turns to irony. There
in lies the problem Quarantine the
Past: The Best of Pavement.
Pavement’s first two LPs became
defining soundscapes of the emerg-
ing ’90s indie movement. The debut
Slanted and Enchanted abandoned
the grandiose ambitions of other
California rockers and assumed
defining a humility and prosaic-
ness that would. So why the hell
does Pavement need a “Best Of ”?
Quarantine the Past is muddled
in incongruities. The decisive “Gold
Soundz” kicks off the collection only
to condemn itself, declaring, “You
can never quarantine the past.”
Perhaps Matador Records
thought it would be clever to assume
the same “I couldn’t give a f--k” atti-
tude as Pavement by ignoring the
band’s lyrical instructions. But the
album’s sardonic title comes across
as another fatal faux pas.
Even if you disregard the label’s
ignorance of the band’s philoso-
phy, the collection does a terrible
job of defining Pavement’s career.
Avoiding B-sides and more promi-
nent reissues (Where is “Texas
Never Whispers”?), Quarantine
the Past pulls only from Pavement’s
most well-known repertoire.
It’s no surprise that the hook-

Indie Rock
heavy Crooked Rain, Crooked
Rain and the famed Slanted and
Enchanted dominate Quarantine
the Past, but Pavement’s later work
feels abandoned. Terror Twilight
barely makes an appearance on the
23-track compilation.
A “Greatest Hits of Pavement”
CD just doesn’t work. What made
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain bril-
liant has been bastardized. Filler
tracks like “5-4=Unity” that served
as a sort of grateful respite to the
polished tracks that preceded them
are painfully absent here.
When Matador Records plucked
out only the “hits” for Quarantine
the Past, the assemblage became
nothing more than a chain of songs.
The thoughtful placement of clas-
sics such as “Cut Your Hair” is lost,
and the disc suffers accordingly.
This disembodiment pervades the
album. Quarantine the Past doesn’t
feel like Pavement, and its release in
proximity to the announcement of
the band’s reunion tour makes you
wonder if Pavement is really looking
for a reconnection with its fans or a
few extra bucks to pay the rent.
Either way, Pavement are slack-
ers no more.

Obama tries to
blunt objections
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— President Barack Obama on
Wednesday called for congres-
sional passage of his compromise
health care overhaul bill by a sim-
ple majority, to blunt Republican
objections to his plan.
Obama explained how he
wanted to proceed and without
using the term, called for a con-
gressional tactic called budget rec-
onciliation to avoid the problems
with the heavily partisan issue.
“No matter which approach
you favor, I believe the United
States Congress owes the
American people a final vote
on health care reform,” Obama
said.
U.S. starts Israeli- Rangel stepping
Palestinian talks down temporarily
JERUSALEM (MCT) — A
year after peace talks collapsed,
Israelis and Palestinians appear
headed back to the negotiating
table — just not the same table.
A U.S.-backed proposal to
launch so-called proximity talks
moved forward Wednesday
when the Arab League gave
its blessing for Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud
Abbas to join the effort.
Under the American plan,
U.S. Middle East envoy George
Mitchell will meet separately
with Israelis and Palestinians in
the hopes of narrowing their dif-
ferences and getting both sides
back in the same room.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— House of Representatives
Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Charles Rangel, under
pressure from an ethics inves-
tigation and under fire from
Republicans, requested a leave
of absence from his chairman-
ship Wednesday.
Rangel, D-N.Y., announced
that he was leaving the chair-
manship temporarily on a day
that House Republicans were
to demand that he give up his
gavel.
The House ethics commit-
tee admonished him for tak-
ing corporate-paid trips to the
Caribbean.

Senior Writer
As the sun set on Rams Head
Plaza on Wednesday, students
wandering into its recreation cen-
ter were met on the other side of
the gym’s glass doors by the sights
and sounds of March madness.
T h e
squeaks of
shoes, the
shouts of
men and the
rhythmic
thuds of the
basketballs
echoed against every corner of the
gym’s beige brick walls.
Ten teams fought for five intramu-
ral basketball league championships,
all but the women’s competitive
league. That game was postponed
because several graduate students
participating were on break.
At the end of the day, one team
stood above the rest. On the same
court that its players met and
came together as a team, Kill Krew
topped its opponent SWISH, 47-41,
to capture the men’s competitive
title — again.
The victory marked the sec-
ond time Kill Krew’s players won
T-shirts together in the men’s com-
petitive league, captain Jamaal
Pitt said. Additionally, The team
has emerged victorious twice from
Prime Time basketball, a league
offered by Campus Recreation that
requires an entry fee.
As players have graduated, the
team has changed, but Pitt said his
priority is to have a team that is fun
to play on, rather than just putting
together a team that can win.
This winter, Kill Krew played only
three games to get into the champi-
onship because of a cancellation and
a forfeiture. But the team put more
than 70 points on the scoreboard in

Defend
education,
it’s your
right
S
tudents across the country
are organizing to defend
public education.
The National Day of Action
to Defend Public Education, to
be held today, was called for by
organizers in California and New
York and will see students at
institutions of higher education
in 30 states and Washington,
D.C., march, rally, sit-in, picket,
teach-in and more to defend the
right to an education for all.
Even during this severe eco-
nomic crisis, the United States
in fact has the money to make
public education truly public and
accessible to everyone.
Look at the government’s
spending of tax dollars. The U.S.
spends about $800 million every
two days in Afghanistan and Iraq
and has handed more than one
trillion dollars to bail out private
banks.
North Carolina has the money,
too. Research Triangle Park is
one the largest research parks in
the nation and boasts corpora-
tions like IBM, GlaxoSmithKline
and Sony Ericsson, bringing in
massive revenues. We should not
have holes in the budget!
Such corporations should be
placed in a higher tax bracket
according to their profits. Instead,
money is saved by cutting wages
and firing workers. The staff that
remain do the work of numerous
workers for the pay of one while
being threatened by the privatiza-
tion of public sector jobs at the
University (like Aramark running
the dining halls).
Students, faculty and staff are
seeing their classes, jobs, wages
and rights severely cut. Tuition
is increasing while decreasing
scholarships are causing students
either to graduate with about
$20,000 in debt to banks or not
able to access an education at all.
Here at UNC-Chapel Hill,
education seems to be an after-
thought instead of a priority.
While ex-Chancellor James
Moeser has been paid more than
$500,000 since retiring as chan-
cellor just two years ago, intro-
ductory language classes are being
moved online to save money. The
administrators that still work here
are paid like CEOs while some
adjunct professors are getting
paid as little as $2,000 per class.
Tuition here at UNC-CH has
increased by more than 100 per-
cent since 2000 alone, with no end
in sight.
Additionally, the people who
build much of the infrastructure
in North Carolina as well as keep
the state running — working class
people both documented and not
— are being kept out of schools by
tuition hikes more than ever. At
the same time, more than 4,000
class sections have been cut since
Fall 2007.
In 1960, the University of
California system, today one of
the most expensive in the coun-
try, had a commitment to tuition-
free education. If the trajectory
other public university systems
have been on is any indication of
where we are headed, we must
act now to defend our schools!
The March 4 coalition
demands that the University:
n Chop from the top,
n Stop privatization of public
sector jobs.
n Use UNC system’s lobby-
ing power to increase corporate
income tax.
n Use UNC system’s lobbying
power to push for public schools
to be open to undocumented stu-
dents at in-state rates
Attend the “Funk the Cuts”
event today at 4 p.m. in the Pit to
take a stand to defend education!

hether or not former
Rams Head Dining
Hall cashier Angela
Vargas was wrongfully termi-
nated, it would be inaccurate
to say that she has no avenues
for recourse.
Aramark Corp., UNC’s food
services provider, is a private firm
separate from the University.
While cultivating a strong rela-
tionship with University offi-
cials, it has also offered signifi-
cant avenues for employees to
pursue grievances.
“Aramark has been a good
partner,” was the frank state-
ment from Mike Freeman,
director of auxiliary services.
“I work in this building. I
see how Aramark interacts
with employees 200 plus days
a year,” Freeman said.
Some students who have
spearheaded a campaign to
have Vargas rehired don’t share
this sentiment.
An online petition alleges
that Aramark “fails to respect its
employees, and fails to respect
the relationships students build
with them.”
Making the grade
Schools should require minimum GPA for athletes
H
igh school student ath-
letes should be held to

standards as every other high

So it makes sense that Chapel
Hill-Carrboro City Schools is
considering a 2.0 grade point
average requirement for high
school students who want to
participate in their school’s ath-
letic programs.
Currently, the school system
follows the standards set by
the N.C. High School Athletic
Association which only requires
that students pass five courses
the previous semester to be eli-
gible.

Angry students see this as a
foregone conclusion, but this
statement is inconsistent with
the procedures Aramark has in
place.
This is not to say that there is
no room for healthy skepticism.
While the University is not the
employer, it has a huge stake in
making sure workers on cam-
pus are treated fairly.
In the case of Vargas, that is
not entirely clear.
The problem is that the
University is legally limited in its
ability to scrutinize Aramark’s
operations. Aramark hires and
fires its own employees. And
just like the University, it is obli-
gated to protect the privacy of
an employee’s personnel file.
According to Freeman and
Aramark human resources
manager Abigail Kin, Aramark
has explicit procedures it fol-
lows in dealing with employees,
including consulting human
resource professionals prior to
reprimanding employees.
They both also mentioned
that a toll-free number is
clearly posted for employees to
be based on the student’s
performance in the previous
semester, not on the cumula-
tive GPA.
Guilford County and
Charlotte-Mecklenburg school
districts have already imple-
mented this policy.
If the proposal is adopted,
next year’s crop of fresh-
men would follow these new
guidelines.
It’s important that students
who want to participate in
sports are able to do so. But
their primary goal should be
education, and it’s essential
that these students have a solid
academic foundation.
The policy should also be
happy to work for free. And in
today’s market, students with
real-world job experience are
sought after.
Certainly, cash is always a
plus, but what many students
really need is the experience.
That’s where the ingenuity
of this organization comes in.
Its student manpower seeks to
help the more than 5,000 non-
profits in the Triangle area. The
organization recognizes both
party’s needs — the potential
for productive students to help
nonprofits and vice versa.

complain to Aramark and have
their grievances investigated by
a third party.
While these options in no
way exonerate Aramark in the
case of Vargas, they at least
show that avenues are in place
for her to pursue an appeal.
And while Aramark cannot
release information from a per-
sonnel file, Vargas can. The deci-
sion to make it public is hers.
Vargas might or might not
have been wrongfully termi-
nated. Regardless, the chan-
nels are in place for her to
pursue her grievances.
It is certainly disturbing
when an employee claims
wrongful termination. And
the University should not let
its close relationship with
Aramark cloud its judgment
of that company.
But what can be said with
certainty is than Vargas is at
no real disadvantage com-
pared to a UNC employee in
pursuing her grievance. The
proper tools are at her dispos-
al for her to make the most of
her fight.

taking part in other types of
extracurricular activity, anoth-
er possibility outlined in the
proposal.
If a student’s grades are drop-
ping because he or she is dedi-
cating too much time to extra-
curricular activities, then it’s
time for that student to invest
more in his or her school work.
Sure, some of these students
are aspiring to play profession-
al sports after high school. But
most of them will not make it,
and the school board owes it
to every student to ensure they
are prepared to join the work
force or enrol in post-second-
ary education.

This experience can set
graduating students apart in
the job market. Working with
a nonprofit through Micro-
Consulting for North Carolina
also provides the satisfaction of
filling a nonprofit’s needs.
And apart from the experi-
ence, it gives students a chance
to interact with professionals
and form those ever-important
professional social networks.

ate skill sets should look into

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Getting rid of runoffs
would betray preferences
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to Wednesday’s
article in The Daily Tar Heel,
“Runoff elections could be dis-
carded,” (March 3), I thoroughly
disagree with the measure now
being considered in Student
Congress. The decision to elimi-
nate runoff elections would not
only reduce the competitive spir-
it of elections, but it would also
fail to uphold the democratic
principle of majority rule.
Take, for example, the 2009
election. Many students found
it strange that a runoff was nec-
essary when Thomas Edwards
obtained a plurality of 40 percent
of the vote, 20 percentage points
more than the second-place can-
didate, current Student Body
President Jasmin Jones. But
the fact remains that a majority
of students did not vote for Mr.
Edwards in the first round.
Theoretically, the new system
being created would be able to
“make” a majority by asking vot-
ers to list the candidates in order
of their preference and then real-
locating the votes of students
whose first choice is eliminated.
But many students’ prefer-
ences may change for the runoff.
And some student voters have a
single candidate of whom they
are extremely supportive and are
completely indifferent between
the remaining candidates.
Thus, making them order
nonexistent preferences would
create an illegitimate outcome.
Finally, given the technological
problems of this year’s election,
do we really want to trust a com-
puter to perform the complex
vote re-allocation process that
this system entails? Yes, cam-
pus elections may seem long and
stressful, but they are an essential
part of giving students a voice at
this University. Student Congress
should not approve this bill.

Players deserved better
than an empty stadium
TO THE EDITOR:
Last night, six seniors played
their final home games as mem-
bers of the men’s basketball team.
The pre- and post-game ceremo-
nies were classy and emotional.
The team showed passion and
grit, bringing the seniors a much-
deserved winning send-off and
the program its historic 2,000th
victory. Yet many students silently
mocked the entire affair.
I don’t know what combina-
tion of apathy, disappointment,
faux outrage over ticket distri-
bution policy or other factors
is responsible. And in the end
it doesn’t matter. The student
body’s failure to fill those seats
— on this night or any other — is
inexcusable. This team and these
seniors — your friends and class-
mates — deserved better.
The University has long been
criticized — and justly in some
respects — for a Smith Center
seating plan that was not condu-
cive to a rowdy, student-led feel.
In recent years, significant chang-
es have been made — changes
that required compromise and
understanding from many quar-
ters. The students’ end of the bar-
gain was to take these opportuni-

McDonough misses the
true meaning of lecture
TO THE EDITOR:
I’m not typically one to defend
others, especially The Daily Tar
Heel, but Chase McDonough
seems to have missed several
points in his own letter to the
editor published Wednesday,
“Article on Horowitz didn’t cap-
ture nature of speech”.
He states that Horowitz was
giving an argument for “why
students are being defrauded of
a proper education in a system
where many classes only assign
reading from the liberal perspec-
tive.” McDonough then claims
that the quote “You can’t get a
good education if you’re only
telling half the story” is an unre-
lated sentence. I was present for
the speech as well and I believe
most people would agree that is
a suitable summary.
Additionally, when I read
McDonough’s quote in the
“Conservative Heat” article, I
assumed it was implied that he
was pleasantly surprised that
Horowitz’s comments were not
radical. The word “radical,” when
it comes to politics, has a fairly
clear negative connotation. I
understand that McDonough is
going to be a little sensitive about
having anything he says be repre-
sentative of the Carolina Review,
and I understand that the DTH
wants to be as fair and balanced as
possible, but I felt that publishing
this letter was unnecessary.

Cut back allowance to cut
back on printed paper
TO THE EDITOR:
In response to Tuesday’s article,
“New guidelines created to slash
paper use,” I must admit that I
disagree with the request that the
environmental affairs committee
is making to professors. Part of
being a college student is printing
off large assignments and disserta-
tions, but those are essentials that
should not be limited in efforts to
conserve paper. Logic tells me it
may be more prudent to reduce
the $40 that students are charged
each semester for printing paper.
Many people are not able
to spend that much money on
paper, and those who do are not
spending it all because they are
printing off assignments to turn
in to professors, it’s because they
are printing of hundreds of pages
that are available online.
If people have more money
than needed, they will be com-
pelled to print superfluously,
justified by, “Well, I’m paying
$40, so I may as well use it.” By
reducing the amount of money
allotted, we could reduce the
amount of printed paper to the
essentials: assignments.
