Hes Not Here, a popular bar on Franklin Street, will be closed for three weeks starting Feb. 12 as a part of the bars punishment.

The bar will be closed from Feb. 12 to March 3

By Matt Couch
Staff Writer

Hes Not Here will close its doors for

three weeks including for the UNCDuke game starting today.
The closure comes as part of the
bars punishment for being one location where authorities say a former
student, Chandler Kania, consumed
alcohol underage on July 19, 2015.
Authorities say Kania then drove
drunk and hit a car head-on, killing
three people and injuring a fourth.
Hes Not general manager Fleming
Fuller said the bar was more than willing to take the punishment and move
on with business.
Owen Hunt, a bartender who has

worked at Hes Not for four years, said

the three-week punishment was much
better then the alternative punishments initially threatened.
We got off fairly light, Hunt said.
Three weeks seems pretty easy when
the original threat was being permanently closed.
The business plans to use the time
closed to its benefit.
Fuller said the bar will undergo renovations in preparations for its reopening on March 4.
For any business, an extended
closure like the one we are facing
is never positive, Fuller said. That
being said, we plan on making the
most out of it.
In addition to a makeover, Hes Not

plans on increasing its presence in

philanthropy in March, specifically by
involving itself with Carolina for the
Kids and Habitat for Humanity.
Fuller said Hes Not has raised over
$100,000 in the past for charity and is
looking to increase that when the bar
reopens next month.

Staying afloat
Hes Not, the home of the iconic
Blue Cup, has been a fixture of the
Universitys bar scene for decades,
since it opened in 1972.

Athletics gets an environmental review

The department now uses
LED lights and is saving
water from athletic fields.
By Terrance Hudson
Staff Writer

Stadiums and courts host athletic

triumphs, but theyre now the subject of
an environmental review.
The Department of Athletics released
the review, called the UNC Athletics
Sustainability Report, in conjunction
with the Office of Waste Reduction and
Recycling.
The review has collected sustainability efforts by the athletic department
since 2000 and presents them in a
single document, divided into six categories: energy, water, recycling, transportation, purchasing and service.
Different sustainability efforts in the
report include LED lightbulbs in stadi-

ums, cisterns and infiltration fields to

recycle water and a tailgating recycling
program.
The information collected is part of
a growing story, Richie Grimsley, assistant director of athletic facility planning
and management, said.
Its important for fans who read this
to learn something. I think its important for them to know about the efforts
that are made to contribute to a sustainable game day, Grimsley said.
The report was consolidated by
Natalia Posthill, a former student who
worked with BJ Tipton, program manager for the Office of Waste Reduction
and Recycling, and included information provided by several sources.
Beyond fans, the review works at
several levels from students to interschool administrations, Tipton said.
Sustainable environmental policies
arent the work of a single person or
department, Tipton said. By bringing
information together, the story can be

shared more easily and streamline policy

implementation. The inspiration for
doing the review came, Tipton said, from
the National Wildlife Federation and the
Green Sports Alliance, which put out a
game day report highlighting collegiate
environmental programs.
We sat down, and we said Hey,
wouldnt it be cool if we did this?
Tipton said.
Grimsley said their sustainability
efforts started small but, in the following
years, the methods were tweaked and
expanded and are expanding even today.
(Composting) sounds really easy,
but its complicated, Tipton said. The
ongoing process is just getting all the
other participants to buy in, whether it
be concession vendors or food service
providers, getting them on the same
plan that we wanna do.
Carol Hee, co-chairperson of the
Sustainability Advisory Committee, said

John Fennebresque, former

UNC Board of Governors takes on team-building activities

The board worked
with Spellings on
leadership priorities.
By Sierra Dunne
Staff Writer

Members of the UNCsystem Board of Governors

met Thursday for a leadership retreat designed to
re-evaluate dynamics and
priorities though no trust
falls were involved.
Were going to have a real
good time this afternoon,
said chairperson Lou Bissette.
The retreat, facilitated
by the Center for Creative
Leadership in Greensboro,
started a little after 1 p.m. and
will continue through Friday
morning. Organizers hope

the event will galvanize the

board and create support for
UNC-system President-elect
Margaret Spellings.
Over the next two days,
the Board of Governors will
be meeting here to determine
how we can best work together with our new president and
her team for the good of the
UNC system and its constituencies, Bissette said.
After Bissettes remarks,
Spellings took to the podium.
One of the best things
about American higher education is that its an opportunity to share diverse points of
view, she said.
Spelling said she will travel
to each UNC-system campus
during her first 100 days of
presidency to better understand each school and learn
more about the system.

The UNC-system Board of Governors, including President-elect

Craig Souza, chairperson of

of the board and its importance

The members of the transition committee hope we will

all leave Greensboro thinking
it was time well spent, Souza
said. But I hope you also

leave trusting the system.

The board addressed several topics based on the results
of a survey members took
before the retreat. They spent
several hours in groups clarifying their roles and responsibilities, priorities and board
operations and dynamics.
While some conversations
were light-hearted, others
caused some tension.
Members agreed the board
is focused on managing rather than governing and is failing to include all members.
The most heated conversation
came when members talked
about communication referencing an article published
by the (Raleigh) News &
Observer earlier this week.

Residents swarm to beekeeping class

Organization hosts
weekly beekeeping
class in Hillsborough.
By Jane Little
Staff Writer

Years ago, when Master

Beekeeper Randall Austins
garden struggled, his friend
suggested keeping honeybees
to pollinate the plants.
Austin said he dismissed
the idea because he did not
want to get stung.
In 2005, Austin said he
talked himself into getting his own bees and
then got involved with the
Orange County Beekeepers
Association.
He now leads beekeeping classes for beginners
on Tuesday nights in
Hillsborough.
Tuesdays class was the
second of nine, so Austin
discussed the equipment
needed to begin a hive and

bee yard.
To begin, Austin demonstrated how to wear a veil
to protect the face and neck
from getting stung.
He said participants could
purchase full bee suits if they
wanted, but said honeybees
do not usually try to sting the
torso or the legs.
I only keep sweet bees,
Austin said. I have had bees
that have sold their souls to
the devil, so I have had to use
a full suit.
Austin showed the class
how to assemble a hive, which
began with a base at least 14
inches tall, to protect the bees
from skunks.
(The skunks) eat them like
popcorn, he said.
After that, Austin placed
two deep boxes which contained 10 frames each on top
of the base.
Rectangular foundations
fit into the frames and the
bees build honeycomb off of
the foundations.
Austin said the window of
opportunity to place foundations into the boxes is
between April and May, two
very active months for bees.
He warned against waiting
until July.

you, Austin said.
You dont know humiliation until youve been laughed

Austin also went over how
to feed the bees and paint the
surfaces of the hive so that it
does not overheat.
Though the majority of
the class was made up of
beginner beekeepers, a few
seasoned beekeepers attended
as well.
I garden and I need good
pollinators for growing good
vegetables, Lisa Vogel, a
beginner participant, said.
Im also doing this because I
want honey.
Cynthia Speed, an experienced journeyman beekeeper, said she first got involved
with the class when she heard
about colony collapse disorder.
Speed has had bees for
three years.
This will be the third year

said.

prospective restaurants and

bars, Hes Not has managed
to thrive and develop a following.
Fuller said the bars success is owed to staying true
to its roots and its casual
atmosphere.
The bar is so ingrained
in Chapel Hill and the
University that alumni and
students alike have come to
love it and want to come back
to it, Fuller said. It really is
a cornerstone of the town and
the University.
Whereas other places

views just a few days after the

article was published.
Carolina is incredibly
fortunate to welcome an
exceptional thinker and
leader like Anne-Marie
Slaughter to share her wit,
wisdom and experience,
Chancellor Carol Folt said in
a press release.
She is a dedicated public
servant devoted to solving
real life challenges related to
work, family and leadership
issues especially relevant to
our graduating seniors.
Folt said she heard
Slaughter speak a few years
ago and found her absolutely
magnetic.
She greatly inspired me
and I know students will be
moved and motivated by her
message, she said.
Slaughter has degrees
from Princeton, Harvard and
Oxford universities.
In the early 2000s,
Slaughter served in leadership roles at Princeton and
Harvard Universities before
working in the federal government.
In 2009, Slaughter was
the first woman to be named
the director of policy planning for the U.S. Department
of State.
She has written or edited
six books, including The
Idea That Is America:
Keeping Faith with Our
Values in a Dangerous
World.
She writes articles for
a number of publications,
including The Atlantic and
Project Syndicate.
Slaughter is currently the
president and CEO of New
America, a nonpartisan think
tank-that tries to resolve
problems that affect the
public.
She is the Bert G.
Kerstetter 66 University
Professor Emerita of Politics
and International Affairs at
Princeton University.
Shes had an incredibly
distinguished career, Strauss
said.
The Commencement ceremony will take place May 8.

Franklin Street legends

Like Hes Not, restaurant
Top of the Hill enjoys the
same adoration and success
among students and alumni.
Jeff Wardwell, manager for
TOPO, said much of his restaurants success is because of
the emotional attachment of
community members.
Top of the Hill represents
a unique brand, which sets
us apart from competition.
Over the last 18 years, we
have become ingrained into
UNC and Chapel Hill life,
Wardwell said. We are consistent with our product and
service and people come back
for that and the space.
Another Chapel Hill legend, Carolina Coffee Shop,
has survived life on Franklin
Street since 1922.
General Manager Jeremy
Ferry said the reason places
like Carolina Coffee Shop are
more successful than chains
and franchises is because of
the uniqueness an establishment brings to the table.
Businesses that are established here and private are
more often than not very
unique and people are drawn
to that, he said.
I think we become a local
favorite for certain people,
they know we are well established, its a unique atmosphere and they find what
they like and they keep coming back.

Thats a wrap!
Thursday night, two student organizations hosted a condom fashion
show to challenge stigmas of sexual
health. UNC chapters of Partners in
Health Engage and GlobeMed partnered to bring the national Condom
Couture movement to UNC for the
first time.
Seven students and graduates
designed clothing made of condoms,
and the pieces were modeled.
Laura Weng, junior and president
of PIH Engage, heard about Condom
Couture before her time at UNC.
I actually heard about Condom
Couture before coming to UNC as
a freshman, and it was around the
time that I became interested in
public health, she said. I spent that
first year gauging peoples interest.
At the same time we were developing PIH Engage as an organization.
Weng said attending Dukes
Condom Couture event made PIH
Engage realize it was time to bring
the event to UNC.
Sophomore and GlobeMed campaigns chairperson Carly Michelakis
was interested partnering with other
student organizations.
We have a lot of the same visions
as PIH Engage, so we got involved
with them. We thought the idea
was interesting, she said. We got
involved and worked on it together.
Sexual health awareness was
the clear focus of the event, but

Michelakis said sexual health issues

extend beyond the college campus.
I think UNC does a really great
job of offering a lot of resources,
Michelakis said. Its something that
should be offered more outside of
the college campus because thats
where we see the highest rates of
STDs and HIV.
I think its important, too, to
recognize the policy behind it all,
Michelakis said. Talking about it is
the first step to making people aware
of the need to protect themselves.
The fashion show included pieces
like a mermaid-inspired condom
seaweed skirt, condom pasties
and a condom fringe 20s dress. But
the piece that won the high fashion
award was a yellow chiffon dress
made of condoms hand-stitched
together. This piece was designed by
UNC graduate Michael Porson and
modeled by Melody Zelenz.
Designer Grace LeGrand said she
wanted her model to feel empowered.
Condoms are something you
should feel proud to wear, she said.
Sophomore model Nina Vukicevic
was nervous before the show. She was
not nervous about wearing a skirt
of condoms she was only nervous
about being in front of so many people.
I was not embarrassed about
wearing the condoms at all, she
said. I want people to know that
safe sex is good, and you shouldnt

feel embarrassed to tell a guy to put

a condom on.
The event also featured the UNC
Achordants and the Tar Heel Voices
during intermissions.
But the event, which raised more

than $200 for sexual education

programs, focused on fighting the
stigma of sexual health.
Sex itself is a very intimate thing,
and its not something people really
discuss openly anyway, Weng said.

Because that area comes with bad

as well as good.
Its important to open the conversation and examine it.

Wilson Library must raise $1.5 million by July 31, 2020, in order to match a grant that will
provide funds to hire a permanent archivist for the Southern Historical Collection.

Improving AfricanAmerican coverage

at Wilson Library
A grant would endow a
permanent archivist job.
By Brinley Lowe
Staff Writer

Wilson Librarys Southern Historical

Collection might soon have a permanent archivist for its African American
Collections.
The library must raise $1.5 million by
July 31, 2020 to match a $500,000 challenge grant from the National Endowment
for the Humanities to endow the position.
The challenge grant is trying to get the
public and donors and enthusiastic supporters that come from the community to
fund the project, said Katja Zelljadt, director of the Office of Challenge Grants at the
National Endowment for the Humanities.
The African American Collections and
Outreach archivist collects the history of
underrepresented individuals through
documents, artifacts and outreach
projects, said Chaitra Powell, the current African American Collections and
Outreach archivist.
Powell said the position had been
vacant for about a year before she was
hired in 2014. She said the loss of the
position would have negative effects on
African-American communities.
I think the impact would be huge,
because youre dealing with populations
that have not always been embraced
by institutions like UNC. And for us to
be there engaging with them, learning
about their histories, were basically saying UNC cares, Powell said. If they lose
this position, they might begin to doubt
UNCs commitment to this work.
Powell said since records can be lost
and first-person accounts are harder to
come by, the archivist position is necessary to create a comprehensive history.
We really need to maintain the momentum by engaging folks, Powell said. The
communication needs to go both ways for
it to work. And if you take away this posi-

tion, the communication might drop off.

Powell said many of the communities
she works with were surprised when she
took interest in their stories.
They always wonder Why do you care
about what happened to us? Why does
my perspective matter? Were constantly
having to explain that your truth is a part
of American history, your experience is a
part of American history, she said.
Zelljadt said people at the National
Endowment for the Humanities liked
how those working with the Southern
Historical Collection interact with
African-American communities.
The idea that the endowment would
support the position of an African
Americans Collections and Outreach
archivist would really ensure that the
history of African-American life in this
region wouldnt be forgotten, she said.
Once the library raises the money to
receive the grant, there will be a $2 million endowment to maintain the archivist
position, said William Ferris, associate
director for the Center for the Study of
the American South at UNC and former
chairperson for the National Endowment
for the Humanities.
Ferris said the National Endowment
for the Humanities gives out about $140
million in grants each year, and it doesnt
award challenge grants over $500,000.
There are very few challenge grants
given at this level. Also, there are very
few institutions that can raise a million
and a half dollars. It reflects positively on
the University, Ferris said.
Zelljadt said most organizations applying for challenge grants dont receive them.
Only 17 percent of those who applied
to the grant received funding, she said.
Ferris said the grant affirms the significance of the work the Southern Historical
Collection, the largest archive on the
American South in the world, is doing.
Its a very big feather in the cap of
UNC, he said.

A new report shows growth

in North Carolinas technology
sector, but recruitment difficulties continue to challenge the
industry.
The North Carolina State
of Technology 2016 Industry
Report, which used economic
indicators from 2013 and 2014,
found the technology industry
employed over 228,000 people
and was worth $75 billion in
sales revenue in 2014.
The states average earnings per worker in the industry
was $106,000, compared to
the $55,000 average across all
industries in the state, with the
most common tech industry job
of software developer including
23 percent of all tech workers.
North Carolinas prominent
research universities, including UNC-Chapel Hill and N.C.
State University, receive support to make new discoveries in
the fields of science while engineering and venture capital
firms do not receive as much,
the report said.
North Carolina had 32 new
companies start from its uni-

versities in 2014, indicating the

state is able to turn its research
assets and public funding into
economic opportunities.
There are world class
research universities, great faculty, students, people who are
developing ideas in laboratories
and classrooms across the state,
said Christopher Chung, CEO
of the Economic Development
Partnership of North Carolina,
in the report.
N.C. Department of State
Treasurer Janet Cowell said in
the report the universities also
serve North Carolinas technological industry due to their
emphasis on STEM education.
Despite projected growth,
the lead researcher for the
report, Ted Abernathy, said the
industry still faces trouble with
recruitment.
We interviewed a dozen tech
leaders, and overwhelmingly the
top issue facing everybody was
trying to find the right people,
he said.
Many of the industry leaders
featured in the report advised
policymakers that an important step for continued growth
is ensuring that young talent
remains in North Carolina.
On the venture capital
side, so much of that is based
in Silicon Valley, and so many
venture capitalists want their
companies close to home that
we really need to address

how we can fund start-ups to

keep companies here and get
them to start here, said Jim
Whitehurst, president and
chief executive officer of Red
Hat, in the report.
The challenge, Abernathy
said, is with students. He said
recent graduates do not want to
stay in North Carolina.
Technology jobs are projected to grow quite a bit, and a
24-year-old doesnt always make
decisions based on where all the
jobs are, so we have to understand that, he said.
Abernathy said the technology
sector gets graduates from outof-state wanting to experience a
new place, but in-state students
have the same desire and often
leave North Carolina.
Young people have a tendency to have a little bit of wanderlust about them that will move
them to the next new great, wonderful place, he said.
Abernathy said in addition
to better understanding the
tendencies of recent graduates,
the state should focus on maintaining a high quality of life that
meets their needs.
You can grow your economy
only as much as you can grow
your workforce, he said. Its
having those jobs available, and
its also having a place where
people want to be.

Town collaboration aims to curb drinking

Chapel Hill will hire a
manager to address
high-risk drinking.
By Jane Little
Staff Writer

The Chapel Hill Town and

Gown Collaborative is looking
to hire a community and campus director for alcohol and
substance abuse prevention
initiatives.
The collaboration began
in spring 2013 and works to
reduce the negative effects of
high-risk drinking in Chapel
Hill neighborhoods, downtown
and the University.
The collaboration includes the
town of Chapel Hill, the Orange
County Health Department,
UNC and the Orange County
ABC Commission.
The Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership will employ the
director and provide office space
for him or her.
The position we all agreed
to fund was in response to
work done and a report issued
by the Town and Gown Task
Force to reduce alcohol misuse, Colleen Bridger, director

of the Orange County Health

Department, said.
The project will go into effect
as soon as we hire the project
manager, she said.
Barbara Alvarez Martin, leader of the Town/Gown Advisory
Board, said she hopes to have
the project manager position
filled by the end of the 2015-16
school year.
Each entity will put forward $30,000 annually to pay
for the salary of the coalition
director as well as the costs of
the project.
The total budget for the town/
gown collaborative is $120,000
per year.
This money will go primarily
toward the directors salary, benefits and equipment.
As the director of the coalition, they would lead the coalition and implement the work the
coalition wants done to address
drinking and high-risk drinking,
Meg McGurk, executive director of Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership, said.
The director will work to initiate activities, educational opportunities and training sessions for
members of the coalition, the
memorandum states.
Qualifications for this position

include a masters degree in the

social sciences, student development, public health, health education or a related field.
Additionally, they must have
at least five years of leadership
experience in public health.
Hopefully this will make a
big impact in our community,
said Lisa Stuckey, chairperson
of the Orange County ABC
Commission, at the previous
Board of Commissioners meeting on Feb. 2.
At this meeting, the ABC
Commission presented to the
board an update on the collaboration.
Bridger said while the project is primarily focused on the
Chapel Hill area, she hopes it
can be applied to Orange County
as a whole.
Alvarez Martin said UNC
has been involved in the project
from the beginning.
I would say the goal of UNCs
project is to reduce the negative
impacts of high-risk drinking
through the implementation of a
comprehensive set of evidencedbased and promising environmental strategies, Alvarez
Martin said.

Its a school day in Wrightsville

Beach, but Ron Benson is in his
red 1949 Oldsmobile headed to the
inlet. Theres a surfboard stretched
horizontally out of his back windows, and the glassy morning waters
are calling his name.
Nothing else is on his mind.
Sure, he might be worried about

U.S. Army Special Forces including one year in Vietnam Ron

UNC halts Virginia

Tech comeback
WOMENS BASKETBALL

NORTH CAROLINA 71
VIRGINIA TECH
67
By Evan Chronis
Staff Writer

The North Carolina womens basketball team has had

trouble finishing in the second half all season.
Its matchup with Virginia
Tech on Thursday proved no
different but this time the
end result was in UNCs favor.
The Tar Heels beat the
Hokies 71-67 in a matchup
where UNC almost blew a
large second-half lead.
With 9:46 left in the third
quarter, the Tar Heels (1412, 4-7 ACC) were ahead by
19. But with 7.4 seconds left
in the fourth quarter, North
Carolina found itself up by
just one point.
The second half, UNCs
kryptonite all ACC season,
proved difficult. The third
quarter saw Virginia Tech (159, 3-8 ACC) and the Tar Heels
trade periods of momentum,
but the fourth quarter is
where the Hokies ultimately
fought back.
Virginia Tech started to
press midway through the
final quarter, forcing several
Tar Heel turnovers as UNC
started to see its lead evaporate.
North Carolina was turning the ball over and shots
werent falling in the fourth
a dangerous combination
for a team that has blown
second-half leads in the past.

field goal in the final eight

minutes of the game.
They knew it would come
down to defense.
When youre not playing well on offense you have
to adjust by locking down
on defense, first-year guard
Stephanie Watts said. We
had to readjust our focus to
locking down their shooters.
Luckily for the Tar Heels,
they built a large enough
first-half lead to give themselves room to breathe in the
second half.
We did a great job of
jumping out in the beginning,
which we havent been doing
well in the last couple of
games that weve lost, sophomore guard Jamie Cherry
said.
Foul shooting saved North
Carolina in the end, as the
team converted on 20 of its
22 shots from the free throw
line.
Redshirt senior Erika
Johnson, a 39 percent free
throw shooter on the season,
converted two big foul shots
with only minutes remaining.
The game came down to two
big free throws from redshirt
junior Hillary Summers with
7.4 seconds left.
She hit both of them.

Rons brother, Terry
Benson, said it was a day he
would never forget.
I had my whole family

taught math and science at

other schools and brought
soccer with him. He created
the first soccer team at the
school and contacted other
junior high schools around
the state to schedule matches.
This was his first of 42
years as a soccer coach in the
Chapel Hill school system.
After starting up soccer
at the junior high school,
Benson moved to Chapel
Hill High School in 1980.
And after six years as an
assistant, Ron took over the
head coaching job for both
the mens and womens soccer
teams in 1986 a job he held
for the next 28 years.
But it wouldnt be until
2014 the final year of his
head coaching career that
Ron held the elusive state title.
After falling behind early,
Chapel Hill High School rallied to beat Weddington 2-1
in the state 3-A championship. But even then, Ron
refused to take the credit he
truly deserved.
I was just really happy for
the program, he said. Not
for me. I was just lucky to get
plugged in at the right time.
Jason Curtis, an assistant
coach on the 2014 womens
soccer team, said nobody was
happier about winning a state
title than the players.
They were doing it for
Coach Benson.
Every time the girls were
interviewed by newspapers,
they would say, Were doing
this for Benson, Curtis said.
For us to win that game, it
was pretty neat. Words really

That kind of underdog

Ron wont tell you the
impact he has had on others.
Even as a boy, he gave to
those around him even
when he didnt have much of
his own.
We came out of public
housing, Terry said. We
grew up at Dry Pond, and if
you told someone you were
a Dry Ponder, it would bring
fear to them.
Ron didnt need much,
though. His grit, passion and
attitude carried him a long way.
People didnt think he
would amount to anything,
Terry said. Hes always been
that kind of underdog.
To Terry, Ron was more
than just a brother.
I didnt have a father,
Terry said. So he played that
role. Since I was 5 years old.
Rons fatherly role transferred into the classroom,
where he taught for 42 years,
inspiring thousands of students along the way.
He really gets the most
out of kids, Curtis said. He
tells them, You can do it,
because I can do it, and they
really believe him.
Terry said theres something

inherent in Rons lifestyle that

is centered on serving others.
Hes always wanted to be
a mentor to young people and
those he is working with,
Terry said. Hes excelled in
life and especially at mentoring, which is what weve been
put here to do.
Now, after retiring from his
day job, the 74-year-old still
finds a way to help.
Its in his blood.
He refills the potholes in
the gravel road in his community and picks up any tree
limbs that litter yards.
I truly believe that he just
wants to make things better,
Curtis said. It may sound
hokey, but he wants to nurture
the good he sees in people and
bring that out in them.
Ron still goes to all of the
Chapel Hill High School
soccer games. He keeps the
scorebook from the bench
but disappears as soon as the
game is over. He doesnt want
any attention.
I usually call him on my
way home, said Curtis, who
became the head coach after
Rons retirement. He always
has a good perspective on
things.
All of those accolades, all of
those good deeds but Ron
would never tell you.

A hero to many
In 2010, Ron had an itch to
go to the beach one day, just

as he did as a boy.
He was carving a wave
when he saw a woman and
her child drowning. Ron a
former Wrightsville Beach
lifeguard dipped into the
water and brought the two
safely onto his board.
Just two days later, he
saved two teenagers stuck in a
rip current.
But he wont tell you these
things.
When I was a kid, if you
scored a touchdown, you
didnt celebrate, Ron said.
You were always modest
about what you did.
When you walk into Rons
home, you wont find trophies
acknowledging his 695 wins
as a coach. You wont find
plaques from his Hall of Fame
career. You wont find certificates commemorating the
lives he has touched.
All of these things can
be found in several boxes
crammed in his attic, where
no visitor can find them.
But you will find Ron
Benson.
A man who loves above all
else and is as humble as they
come. A man who gives his
time to the community. A man
who served his country. A man
who laid the foundation for
soccer in North Carolina. A
man who is a hero to many.
Even if he wouldnt tell
you.

Coach Sylvia Hatchell

believes UNC has blown leads
in the past due to a lack of
leadership and maturity.
The lack of experience
showed in this matchup, with
the Tar Heels choosing to
hold the ball out for the duration of the shot clock.
We were trying to run
some things and use the
clock, and some of that just
falls under experience,
Hatchell said. A more junior-

senior heavy team would have

just drove the ball in and
scored.
In what is being considered a learning season for
North Carolina, this win
marks a turning point for
the young team. The Tar
Heels were able to stand
tough against an ACC opponent and hold on to their
lead.
We are light years away
from where we were in

Carolina Tiger Rescue puts paws to paint

The tigers paintings
are sold in the
sanctuarys gift shop.
By Hugo Fernandez
Staff Writer

In summer 2015, the staff

at Carolina Tiger Rescue
started a program where
their tigers painted their
own masterpieces.
To this day the tigers are
still practicing their brush
strokes.
Carolina Tiger Rescue is a
nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and protecting
wild cats both in captivity and
in the wild.
The organization, located
in Pittsboro, carries on several
different activities to educate
the public about the needs
and habits of wildcats.
It conducts field trips and
safari camps to help advocate
for the maintenance of sustainable native habitats for
wildcats, or a proper, respect-

ful environment for wildcats

in captivity.
For the paintings, the
tigers paint with egg-based
paint and tempera paint that
are non-toxic and washable.
These paints are safe for
the animals to work with.
According to Katie
Cannon, the education director at Carolina Tiger Rescue,
the organization decided to
inaugurate this program for
both raising awareness about
their mission and for the
entertainment of the tigers
and visitors.
Tigers love to paint, and it
is funny to watch them do so,
Cannon said.
We sell their paintings in
the Pawcasso display in the
gift shop, so next time you
come to visit, check it out.
The tigers paintings are
priced from $10 to $60 in
the sanctuarys gift shop,
called the Savanna Station,
according to the size and
appearance.
The Savanna Station also
sells other items such as

Tigers love to
paint, and it is
funny to watch
them do so.
Katie Cannon
Education director at Carolina Tiger Rescue

books, CDs and T-shirts, as

well as the option to sponsor
one of their animals.
Carolina Tiger Rescue
accepts donations on their
website, and donators can
also choose to become a
monthly sustainer and provide a stable source of income
for the tigers.
When it comes to funding nonprofits, people make
donations to or help fund
organizations they strongly
support.
Id rather help fund a
nonprofit who works with
people, such as the Red
Cross, said Chapel Hill resident Eesim Oon.
Chapel Hill resident
Margarita Gjoni said since

COURTESY OF CAROLINA TIGER RESCUE

Petee Ocelot paints with purple and pink egg-based tempera at Carolina Tiger Rescue in Pittsboro.

Carolina Tiger Rescue works

with animals, she feels the
need to donate.
I think that we have a
responsibility toward creatures of nature considering

that as humans we harm and

exploit nature in many ways,
Gjoni said.
Carolina Tiger Rescue
offers a Big Cat Safari summer camp program for chil-

dren aged 8 to 13 where participants can visit the animals

daily, as well as help the tigers
make their masterpieces.

UNC graduate enters CBS The Amazing Race

At 8 p.m. Erin
Robinson will be on
The Amazing Race.
By Kacey Rigsby
Staff Writer

The resume of the vast

pool of UNC alumni just got a
little bit more amazing.
Today, UNC class of 2006
graduate Erin Robinson will
appear on the season premiere
of CBS The Amazing Race.
Robinson was a resident
advisor in Granville Towers
during her time at UNC, and
she looks back fondly on her
years as an undergraduate.
There are so many great
memories, honestly, she said.
The accumulation of all of it
is really what made it great.
Robinson was inspired to
audition for The Amazing
Race when CBS producers
approached her at ComicCon. She was interviewing

people in costume for her job

when the producers noticed
her, and she began the audition process shortly after.
Its pretty grueling because
there are a lot of teams that
youre kind of sequestered
with, she said. Youre locked
away in a hotel for several days,
and you go through multiple
auditions, questionnaires, tests,
and you do a lot of chemistry
tests with your partner.
Robinson said communication between teams was prohibited during the auditions.
Wed be in the same room
with people or out at the pool
with people, and you kind of
have to scope out your competition and see who might be
the people that you need to be
looking out for for alliances or
real threats, she said.
Robinson met her partner
Joslyn Davis at work. They
both do celebrity interviews
and produce stories for the
entertainment news outlet,
Clevver. Robinson said people

recognize her and Davis from

the videos.
There were times where
fans would help us out in the
race because they knew who
we were, Robinson said. It
was cool to see how the two
of us, from a small office in
Beverly Hills, have such an
international reach.
Robinson said the travel
experience was one of the best
parts of participating in the
race. But since she had only
been abroad once, she said
she was at a disadvantage.
Robinson also said she was
astounded by how many cameras were on the contestants
all the time. She also praised
the camera crew on the show.
They are crazy athletic, and
they can run faster than you on
your fastest day, she said.
Amazing Race fans are
excited to see a member of the
UNC family on national TV.
Itll be a lot more interesting to watch now that I can
kind of relate to the people on

It was so beautiful
Its an experience
that Im still
processing.
Erin Robinson
UNC graduate, Amazing Race contestant

it, junior Kevin Sun said.

Even those who dont
regularly watch the show said
they will tune in to follow
Robinsons progress.
I didnt know there would
be a UNC grad on the show
this season, sophomore Abby
Hardin said. I think now Ill
be more likely to keep up with
it. Now Im more invested.
Robinson said on the race,
its hard to slow down and
appreciate your surroundings.
It was so beautiful and
fascinating and wonderful,
and its an experience that Im
still processing.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Margaret Spellings, during Thursdays Board of Governors retreat

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Jamal Rogers, jmlrgs@gmail.com

eslie Knope can do it

all. How could any one
person so confidently
organize the Harvest Festival
(while being under a curse),
turn a horrible pit into a park,
win a seat on the town council
and, in Ann Perkins, foster the
cutest friendship ever?
But Parks and Recreation
isnt just another funny sitcom.
To me, it provides some incredible insight on issues that face
Chapel Hill, while omitting crucial situations and challenges
our town deals with.
In many episodes, Leslie is
chastised by a Pawnee citizen for
a mistake the Parks Department
made. Usually, the claims are
bogus. But citizens in Chapel
Hill are hyper-informed, and
willing to hold their government
accountable, justifiably.
Earlier this week, the town
held a meeting to review plans
for a section of Estes Drive
that will soon be transformed
to include a mixed use path
and facilities for cyclists. As
best I could, I tried to balance
my personal excitement as a
cyclist with the professional
responsibility to answer questions and network with concerned citizens as an intern for
the towns planning office.
One older man, who identified as a member of Chapel Hill
Alliance for a Livable Town,
seemed particularly concerned
that the bike path would not
extend east of Caswell Road
in the plans we presented. His
points were excellent. Why
doesnt the path extend further
east so children can walk and
bike safely to the elementary
and middle school? If the town
just ends the path where this
plan says, itll be harder to
make future infrastructure east
of Caswell Road connect properly. Agreeing with criticism is
humbling when youre the one
being criticized.
We were taking part in
democracy in a way it hasnt
functioned at the state and
national level in modern
memory. But what progressive
towns can do and how quickly
they can do it is limited by significant bureaucratic inertia at
the state level. As I mentioned
in my last column, the state
spends only a fraction of its
transportation funds on expenditures other than highway
construction. Earlier this week,
President Obama released a
radical reimagining of American
transportation bike lanes and
streetcars abound in his latest budget. It was immediately
dismissed by Congressional
Republicans. I believe that if
Chapel Hill had the funds, it
would likely build a bike lane
everywhere it was needed.
This is not to be an apologist for inaction. On the contrary, Im trying to channel
Leslie Knope as I create a virtual model of what Estes Drive
east of Caswell could look like
once proper funding is established. But I would be mistaken to believe that I alone have
the ability to change things
overnight.
Im glad my boss isnt
reminiscent of Ron Swanson
and Im certainly not running
against Bobby Newport for the
next open council seat. But if
Leslie Knope has taught me
anything, it is to believe that
Chapel Hill will take on the
challenges it faces fearlessly
and rationally, and that good
intentions alone are ultimately
negligible.

Checking every corner

UNC must fight
sexual violence at
all levels.

ccording to a
report by The New
York Times, professor Jason Lieb, a former
molecular biologist at the
University of Chicago,
resigned from his position
before he could be fired
for sexually assaulting a
graduate student too intoxicated to consent to sex.
Before his tenure at the
University of Chicago, he
was a professor at UNC
for 13 years. According
to sources quoted by the
Times, during his hiring interviews at the
University of Chicago, he
admitted to faculty that an
unwanted contact claim
was filed against him during his time at UNC.
While the editorial
board understands UNC is
severely restricted by personnel privacy laws in how
it can publicly discuss Lieb,
internally, UNC should
investigate the case if it has
not already done so. UNC
cannot tolerate a culture
where sexual harassment
or assault in research settings are overlooked
even if stamping out such
a culture puts significant
grant money at risk.
Lieb was one of the
most accomplished scientists in his field in the

entire country, and he has

received millions of dollars in federal grants.
UNC should examine
the power dynamics of
a culture where sexual
harassment or assault in
research settings could
be overlooked because of
interests in acquiring grant
money. It should take
active steps to determine
if such a culture exists at
UNC and aggressively
stamp it out if it does.
This could be done in
a variety of ways: by surveying the experiences
of researchers, holding
panels exploring the issue,
and ensuring that the
hiring of women faculty,
especially in scientific disciplines, is a top priority.
As an editorial by the
science journal Nature
points out, no one knows
how many senior scientists have been disciplined
by universities for sexual
harassment. Significant
anecdotal evidence
supports the idea that
research labs dominated
by male senior scientists
are places that tolerate
sexual harassment and
create impossible choices
for women scientists.
This perspective is a
good reminder that the
experiences of undergraduate women are those
most often highlighted
by discussions of sexual
assault and harassment on

college campuses, but the

problem is not restricted
only to undergraduates.
Fighting the existence of
rape culture in all corners
of the University is especially important given the
negative light UNC has
already been placed in.
The revealing documentary The Hunting
Ground on sexual assault
on college campuses featured UNC. UNC was
the subject of national
headlines for the cases
and activism of Landen
Gambill and Andrea Pino.
A survey indicating one
in four undergraduate
women at UNC experience
a form of sexual assault
also made headlines.
A former housekeeping
employee has alleged in
court that Bill Burston, a
former director of housekeeping, ran a sex-forwork scheme targeting
Asian women. The chronology and sources reported on in the Times article
about Lieb raise disturbing questions about how
his case was treated while
he was at UNC.
Do we have to learn
again from the athletic-academic scandal? Will UNC
wait to pursue justice only if
it is exposed on the national
level? The University can be
nothing less than proactive
in addressing sexual assault
and harassment across the
entire institution.

EDITORIAL

Remember the forgotten

We must remember
the people Chapel
Hill forgot.

t is football Saturday
in Chapel Hill. Fans
from all over the state
drive to campus to cheer
on the Tar Heels.
As with any football
game, many fans choose
to tailgate before the game
starts. The problem is
always finding a spot.
It can be hard to find
a spot large enough to
accommodate tailgaters,
so during the 1980s the
African-American section
of the Chapel Hill cemetery
was opened up for use. It
was also used as a parking
lot at other times as well.
The University allowed
people to park cars on top
of the unmarked graves
of many of its unsung
founders.
The University knew
people were buried in the
region but did not know the
exact location of the graves
due to the crumbling headstones many of which
were damaged in the 1970s
due to vandalism.

For the most part, the

graves had remained relatively unnoticed for years. It
was not until 2012 that the
graves were mapped out
with the help of groundpenetrating radar. It was
not until last week a marker
was placed to honor the
people buried there.
The marker reads Here
rest in honored glory 361
American persons of color
known but to God.
Still, no event was
planned, no one took time
to remember the people
buried there. When the
marker was unveiled, only
a few individuals were in
attendance.
This ought to change.
An event or some form of
remembrance needs to be
scheduled to honor the
legacies of these people
and to discuss how the
racial history of our campus impacted their lives
and the lives of minority
students now.
The Daily Tar Heel
editorial board would
be interested in teaming up with any campus
organization interested in
co-sponsoring an event of

this nature. Please email

opinion@dailytarheel.com
if you have any question,
thoughts or concerns.
In an email to
The Daily Tar Heel,
Preservation Chapel Hill
Executive Director Cheri
Szcodronski talked on the
need of having an event.
Not only were these
people excluded and forgotten in life but also in
death, she said. Although
well never be able to put
names to these 475 people,
we can at least recognize
their final resting place
and tell their story.
While we might never
know who is buried there,
we do know they were
somehow linked to this
community and to this
university. We also know
due to the racist history of
this community, they were
stripped of their right to
be properly memorialized.
This part of the cemetery has been ignored and
disrespected, but the people buried there deserve
to have our respect and
attention.
We should not let these
people be forgotten again.

TO THE EDITOR:
Mothers & Others for
Clean Air, a program of the
American Lung Association
of the Southeast, was disappointed to hear the Supreme
Courts ruling to put the
Clean Power Plan on hold as
the courts review the legal
challenges, delaying muchneeded progress toward the
reduction of harmful carbon
pollution. The decision does
not necessarily need to delay
real health benefits to our
families and neighbors, as
long as Gov. Pat McCrory
chooses to move ahead with
plans to reduce power plant
carbon pollution in North
Carolina.
Carbon pollution drives
climate change that threatens lung health and safety
today. The Clean Power
Plan, which is the first-ever
national plan to reduce
carbon pollution from
power plants, is critical in
our fight against climate
change. Meeting the plans
original, generous deadlines promises significant
health benefits.
Gov. McCrory, delay of
these benefits would not
only be disappointing, but
dangerous. We hope you
will continue to take steps
to reduce carbon pollution from power plants by
developing a strong state
implementation plan,
which N.C. can be ready
to put in place when the
litigation is resolved. The
impacts of carbon pollution
and climate change are not
going away, and neither
should our governors commitment to protecting N.C.
residents.

TO THE EDITOR:
I just made two donations. One was to Project
Light, for the Light House
in Raleigh that continues
the legacy of Deah Barakat.
He, along with Yusor AbuSalha and Razan AbuSalha, were amazing people
and are deeply missed.
I only wish wed learned
about them through coverage of their work while they
were still with us.
My other donation was
to the James W. Foley
Legacy Foundation. James
Foley was the journalist
who was murdered by the
Islamic State after almost
two years of captivity. The
foundation set up in his
name works for release of
hostages, safety for journalists in conflict zones and
education for young people.
A movie describing his life
and contributions just won
an award at the Sundance
Film Festival.
Its time for decent people of all faiths (or, in my
case, lack of faith) to work
together for a world we can
all share.

to even consider going
outside in my triple layered
sweaters and heavy winter
jacket, but, hey, thats part
of living in Four Seasons,
North Carolina.
Wilson Sinks campaign
video parodying The
Office was poorly executed.
But the idea was amazing
and one of a kind! Which is
essentially every Michael
Scott moment ever. Good
job?
My professor made fun of
the small town I was from in
the middle of class. He did
not know I was from there,
but I want to let him know I
am not as bad as everyone
else from there.
To the people trying to get
rid of Bulls Head and Daily
Grind: You will be remembered when the Peoples
revolution takes back our
university.
Panthers should have put
Steph Curry in as kicker, he
makes his 3-pointers.
To the student in the group
project Spoiler Alert

the Real World.
Kanye West just need to

music.

University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill.
John Fennebresque was
arrested for trying to bring
a gun on an airplane. I am
pretty sure the truth is funnier than any joke I could
possibly make,
Another student body
president election cycle has
come and gone. How will
the new winner destroy all
my hope in student government?
The second-worst feeling in
the world is when you hear
dogs were in the Pit while
you were in studying for a
midterm. The worst feeling
in the world is when you
failed the test and there are
no dogs to comfort you.
Trying to not eat meat is
hard. People get super
defensive when you tell
them why, and it was so
hard to avoid chicken wings
at Super Bowl parties. But
this is my life now, and I
need to accept it.
Why are the Carolina
Panthers becoming the new
down-on-their-luck team in
the NFL? I now sympathize
more with Chicago Cubs
fans but even they have
a curse to blame. All we
have is bad luck.
The rich are getting richer
(UNC- Chapel Hill top
administrators), and the
poor are getting poorer (the
rest of the UNC-Chapel Hill
staff ).
