Clown community laughs GPSF talks

future

off their Halloween worries
student vote

Real-life clowns juggle a controversial media circus

By Rachel Jones
Assistant Swerve Editor
Americas jokesters are getting jilted in a national scandal

straight out of a Stephen King
novel.
Creepy clowns, known for
their intimidating grins and viral
social media videos (and apparently Pornhub content), have
been spotted in at least 20 states,

including North Carolina and,
reportedly, Chapel Hill.
As UNC prepares for
Halloween, some students are
concerned that clowning around
might take a more sinister turn.
But for Durham-based professional clown David Bartlett, the
creepy clowns are just another
laughing matter.
Make them laugh

Bartlett has performed as Mr.
Rainbow since 1981. Clowning
has been his full-time job since
1988. He has toured throughout the United States, Canada
and Europe, and he has won
awards for his work with balloon art, including the Lifetime
Achievement Award from the
European Ballooning Community

in 2008. Hes written three serialized columns for family entertainment magazines about the
art of clowning and translated
his expertise into three books, 19
VHS tapes and 10 DVD guides to
clowning and balloon artistry.
His decade-spanning career

After two referendums to change the

structure of student government failed in
Fridays vote, Dylan Russell, president of
the Graduate and Professional Student
Federation, said he thinks the two-thirds
requirement for GPSF separation is too
high.
You know grad students only make up
one-third of this Universitys population,
Russell said. So to ask that we have a twothirds threshold for something that mainly
benefits graduate and professional students,
I think thats a lot to ask.
The Two for Two referendum, which
had GPSF split from student government,
failed by 41 votes or less than one percent.
The referendum received a nearly 66 percent
yes vote.
The Better Together referendum, which
kept the two governments together but made
some reforms, also failed, receiving just over
a quarter of the vote.
Cole Simons, speaker of Student Congress,
said as a result of the election, student government leaders would be talking about election results with Vice Chancellor for Student
Affairs Winston Crisp.
I think it puts us in a spot where youre
going to see us at the table talking about the
future of student government, Simons said.
Russell said GPSF is in the process of figuring out their next steps.
What the University has to decide is
are they going to make us go through the
drama of another election again, are they
going to go through the drama of an entire
37 percent of its population feeling marginalized, Russell said. Or are they going

Chapel Hill officials work together to prepare for Halloween

Changes in location
and time have not
affected planning.
By Erin Kolstad
Assistant City Editor
The planning for next years

Halloween begins Nov. 1.
We start planning the next
business day after Halloween,
said Lt. Josh Mecimore,
spokesperson for the Chapel
Hill police department.
Mecimore said nearly every
town department is involved
with the planning, prepara-
tion and inspections for

Homegrown Halloween.
This year, the event is centered on East Franklin Street
and will run from 8-10:30
p.m. In previous years the
event took place on both West
and East Franklin Street and
lasted until 11 p.m. or 12 a.m.
Mayor Pam Hemminger
said the event was moved to
keep out of the way of construction and to allow people
to spill onto McCorkle Place.
Hemminger said she was
updated about plans for the
event in the summer and
again two to three weeks ago.
I love the energy, the crazy

costumes, the people, she

said. It is a great celebration
with a great vibe.
On the day after Halloween,
Mecimore said the police
department will debrief and
survey the officers who worked
the previous night to see how
the event went and what can
be improved.
There are a lot of things
that take place before we are
prepared, Mecimore said.

Around 200 officers will be
working the event, and many
of those will be brought in
from other counties.
Mecimore said they do
work in advance to address
alcohol issues for Halloween,
but many of the calls come in
after the event ends.

President Obama to make Wednesday campaign stop at UNC

Tickets are available
at specific locations
Monday and Tuesday.
By Kent McDonald
Assistant State & National Editor
President Barack Obama

will visit UNC on Wednesday
to campaign for Democratic
presidential nominee Hillary
Clinton and encourage students to vote early.
Obama will deliver his
speech at Hooker Fields and
doors will open to the public
at 12:30 p.m.
Robyn Patterson, spokesperson for the Clinton
Campaign, said in an email

they are looking forward to
welcoming President Obama
to North Carolina and to hear
his support for Clinton.
Donald Trump is unfit
and unqualified to serve as
commander-in-chief and
were excited that President
Obama is returning to North
Carolina to make the case
for Hillary Clinton and an
economy that works for
everyone, not just those at
the top, she said.
Courtney Sams, UNC
Young Democrats president,
said she plans to attend the
event and thinks every student who is available should
attend.
Its not often that you get

to hear a sitting president
speak in person and its a
great honor that President
Obama has chosen our campus to come and speak to,
she said.
Sams said Obamas choice
to speak at UNC says a lot
about the states shifting
values.
Twelve years ago you
never would have seen a
Democratic president trying to rally voters in red
North Carolina, she said.
But weve seen over the past
few elections that North
Carolina really has become
a battleground tossup state
and with so many young lib-
eral millennial voters on our

campus, this is really a place
for Democrats to come and
try to rally together early
voters.
President Obamas visit
will show students how
important the election is and
will remind students to vote
early, Sams said.
No matter what side of
the issue students are on, we
really think its important that
everyone gets out and votes as
early as possible, she said.
Sams said President
Obama has been focused
on convincing young voters to vote for the entire
Democratic party and his
visit will bring attention to
Its not often that you get to hear a sitting

president speak in person

less familiar races.

I hope that hell continue
to talk about that when he
comes to UNC so that students realize the gravity of
voting for not just Hillary
Clinton for president, but
Roy Cooper and Deborah
Ross and people in smaller
elections that have a lot more
impact in our day-to-day
lives, she said.
Those interested in attending the event can pick up
tickets at the Morehead

Planetarium in Chapel Hill
or the Albert Whiting Justice
Building Parking Lot in
Durham on Monday and
Tuesday.

Every year our surplus of

Halloween candy ends up
in the back of our kitchen
cabinets until we discover it
the following Hallows Eve.
Upon finding our year-old
candy stash, we are struck
with a moral predicament:
the angel on our right shoulder yells, Wait! Its expired,
throw it away! Meanwhile,
the devil on our left shoulder
mischievously whispers in
our ear, Risk it.
To protect ourselves from
moral mishap, and to ensure
that all of our candy is eaten,
we have to tune in to our
inner Bill Nye the Science
Guy and be innovative.
So, why not pair your candy
with an alcoholic beverage?
I asked the local bartenders
of Chapel Hill, who students
unwaveringly trust as guiding

lights in all matters alcoholic,
what the best candy and alcohol pairings are.
Sup Dogs
Sup Dogs candy and alcohol pairing is for the fruit
lovers.
Employee and UNC
junior Abbey Ammons
suggested pairing candy
with Sup Dogs Orange
SupCrush: freshly squeezed
orange juice and vodka.
We deliberated. I suggested
chocolate. My suggestion was
dismissed, and rightfully so,
because Im not the one who
serves alcohol to the people.
In the end, Ammons
said, Starbursts! Orange
SupCrush and Starbursts.
Top of the Hill

If Halloween puts you in
the seasonal spirit, TOPO is
your one-stop bar for festive
drinks.
With our Old Well White
wheat beer, I think even
though I hate them candy

corn would be a good pair, if
you think about the colors,
said Phillip Ivey, a TOPO
bartender.
TOPOs Old Well White
beer is orange, due to the
orange and coriander blend.
The next seasonal drink
Ivey suggests is TOPOs Cane
Creek Cranapple wheat beer.
The Cranapple wheat beer
has a slight tart aftertaste, so
like a SweeTARTS would pair
well, he said.
Iveys last suggestion is a
year-round drink:
Anything chocolate would
go with our dark stout, Lewis
Black Imperial. Its 9.3 percent alcohol, so it kinda gets
you drunk.
Hes Not Here

Sour Patch Kids and
IPAs, general manager
Fleming Fuller suggested.
I was actually thinking
about it earlier this week,
Fuller said, commenting on
how he wished he could have

pairings for Halloween.

Its the thought that
counts, and this thought was
a good one.
Lindas
Want a little bit more spice
in your life? Lindas candy
and alcohol pairing is for you:
On Monday night, were
having fireball shots for $4,
so something cherry or some-
thing spicy, like Red Hots

would taste good, said Justin
Cole, a Lindas bartender.
And a little fun advice
from shift manager Adam
Candelori:
I know that you can put
gummy bears in vodka, and
the gummy bears will grow
really big.
Good to know.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Our
republic,
if we can
keep it
NEXT
grew up fascinated by the

field of international relations. An avid follower of
politics in a politically divided
household, I could count on
international politics as a
much easier place (certainly
compared to Texan politics!) to
find common ground.
And so I grew up sparring
over the dinner table and
scanning the daily paper for
places where peace triumphed
through diplomacy.
I was always fascinated by
one thorny trend in this field:
Illiberal democracy. A term
coined by Fareed Zakaria in
1997, it describes the spectres
of nations that hold elections but which are not free.
Governments are elected but
may control the press, compromise judicial independence,
discriminate against minorities and fail to protect the personal liberties of all citizens.
Certainly, the U.S. grapples
with deep moral issues in living up to its ideals of freedom
and equality. But I never
thought I would ask myself: Is
America in danger of becoming an illiberal democracy?
Yet it would be recklessly
irresponsible to simply continue analyzing other governments and critiquing abstract
concepts without acknowledging this imminent threat on
our own turf. That threat is the
candidacy of Donald Trump.
Illiberality within democratic governments has been in
vogue for many leaders lately.
Following waves of resurgent authoritarian tendencies
and nationalist, protectionist
policies, its evident in many
governing styles. Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orban
openly championed this after
his last election, saying: I dont
think that our European Union
membership precludes us from
building an illiberal new state.
We see the same in Turkey,
a longstanding democracy. The
Economist in 2015 wrote that
Mr. Erdogans victory leaves
Turkey looking increasingly
like ... other illiberal democracies, where popular strongmen
cow institutions and dominate
a weak, divided opposition.
These statements pale in
comparison to the threats made
by our Republican presidential
nominee. Rather than stating
his intentions after election, a
wholehearted embrace of illiberality is his very strategy.
Trump threatened to jail
his opponent should he be
elected, saying, Youd be in
jail. This is an open brag that
hed violate the independence
of our judiciary. After the final
debate, he declared that he
would accept the results of the
election only if I win. Thats
a threat to the linchpin of our
democratic process: peaceful
transitions of power.
Last year, Trump called
to ban all Muslims from the
U.S., in clear violation of our
First Amendment.
If we read of any presidential candidate, anywhere in the
world, who threatened to jail
his opponents, to not concede
if he lost, to target religious
minorities and to disrespect
the rights of women, wed be
right to call that proposed
presidency decidedly illiberal.
But now, we have to ask:
How has that illiberality been
the bedrock of a major, popular
campaign in a liberal democracy? I believe well be wrestling
with that question for a while.

What is too far, UNC?

Privatization needs
to have clear and
public limits.
he debate over
privatizing UNC
Student Stores
inspired people across the
community to challenge the
administration. To this day
many students and faculty
are upset about the decision
and felt left out of the conversation but what happened last year happened,
and it seems unlikely any
minds will be changed now.
Given the uncertainty of
finances in the future, the
University needs to draft
policy, and make said
policy public, that clearly
spells out where the
boundaries of privatization at the University are.
This editorial is not
going to make an absolutist
argument for either side.
Both sides claim to provide
more opportunities for students, and there is no shortage of writings defending
either side. See coverage of
the issue from this time last
year if you want that.
Instead, the point of
this editorial is to say
we need to draw the line
somewhere. What is the
University willing to
privatize what does it
deem ethical to privatize
in the future?
Few people would disagree that the University
needs to be run efficiently

to free up money for academic purposes. That
argument was the spirit
of many in favor of privatizing Student Stores,
and it has merit. Money
that is needlessly spent
or misused is less money
that can be placed into
a scholarship fund. And
with increasing financial
strains coming from the
North Carolina General
Assembly, the administration has to be creative
with how it makes up for
decreased funding.
To those who disagree
with privatization, the full
blame does not always fall
on administrators. Forces
well beyond their control
are leading to funding
issues on campus. Both
sides of the privatization argument have valid
concerns and fears. This
debate is not unique to
UNC a quick Google
search on privatization
shows thousands of articles discussing the topic.
What makes UNC different is that this place
heralds itself as the
university of the people,
praising its deep roots
in public education and
democratic control.
This great tradition is
something that ought be
coveted by all Tar Heels,
but it shouldnt become
a simple slogan to make
the University look better
it needs to be actively
maintained. Yet due to
economic pressures, it is
becoming increasingly
necessary to balance the
public with the private.
Will there be a world
where private corporations begin sponsoring
the academic research of
this campus? Or where
individuals can use their
economic buying powers
to control what professors
can or cannot say?
Lets be clear, all of this
seems far down the road.
No one on this campus
seems to currently want
a world in which nonacademic actors can dictate the academic sphere.
Thats why now is the time
to build strong, entrenched
safeguards. It may seem
unnecessary, but there is
a future world in which
ultra-fiscally conservative administrators might
sell the University to the
highest bidder. Planning
for it while there is some
consensus that this would
be bad for the Universitys
core mission can kill this
attitude before it arises.
Privatization should
only be used to make sure
more students have access
to top-quality educational
opportunities. If privatization begins to impede
the rigor of this school,
then well face a much
bigger problem than
Student Stores.
EDITORIAL
The less may have more

Minority status and
lack of privilege are
not the same.
n UNCs campus,
its not difficult to
discern that the
minority ideological viewpoint is conservative. In
this context, minority can
be defined as the number
or amount that is less than
half of the total. With that
in mind, men are also a
minority on this campus.
Hypothetically speaking,
to be a conservative man
at UNC is to be a doubleminority. To be a left-handed, red-haired, blue-eyed,
conservative white man
who unironically idolizes
Nicolas Cage is to be a
septuple-minority.
Privilege can be defined
as the benefits received
by certain people who fit
in a specific social group,
usually with regard to age,
disability, race, gender,
sexuality, religion or socioeconomic status. In that
case, even a septupleminority at UNC can
still be immensely more
privileged than say, a black
woman on campus.
The history of the term
privilege can be traced to
the 1930s, when W.E.B.
Dubois wrote about the
psychological wage
that enabled poor white
people to feel superior
to poor black people. In
1988, Peggy McIntosh
expanded on the concept in a paper called
White Privilege and Male
Privilege: A Personal
Account of Coming to See
Correspondences through
Work in Womens Studies.
Its important to note
that while minority status and privilege are
intrinsically linked, they
are not synonymous.
Exhibit A: an antiaffirmative action bake
sale with prices set on the
buyers race and gender.
The University of
Texas-Austin branch of
the Young Conservatives
of Texas hosted such a
bake sale on Wednesday. A
cookie cost $1.50 for Asian
men, a dollar for white
men, 50 cents for AfricanAmerican and Hispanic
men and cost nothing for
Native Americans. The
prices for women were 25

cents cheaper than their
male counterparts.
The events organizers meant to spotlight
the issue of affirmative
action which demeans
minorities on our campus by placing labels of
race and gender on their
accomplishments.
Similar bake sales have
stirred up controversy in
years past. What makes
the recent UT-Austin incident particularly relevant
is the June 2016 Supreme
Court ruling that upheld
the universitys affirmative action system against
Abigail Fisher, who argued
that as a white woman,
she was denied admission
over less qualified minority students.
There are plenty of
think-pieces and memes
alike that chronicle the
Fisher case. There will be
plenty more following the
latest debacle.
There is nothing wrong
with being a minority
and having privilege.
There is something
wrong with refusing to
recognize it.
TO THE EDITOR:
I am writing today
in response to the letter
Trump needs to step down
from candidacy by Edana
Kleinhans. In the letter, she
argues that Republicans
ought to condemn Trumps
candidacy in light of his vulgar comments on women.
I agree wholeheartedly
with Kleinhans message.
The fact that America has a
presidential candidate who
so regularly verbally abuses
women is embarrassing.
Our country, and more
specifically the Republican
party, should be ashamed.
However, I do take issue
with part of Kleinhans
argument. Do it for your
wives, your daughters, your
partners, your girlfriends
and yourselves, Kleinhans
urges. It is high time that
we stop placing the importance of respecting women
on their relations to men.
Trumps comments that
he would grab women by
their genitals should terrify you not because that
woman is someones daughter or wife, but because
she is a person who doesnt
deserve to be assaulted and
dehumanized.
This rhetoric of linking
female victims to male relations only serves to perpetrate rape culture by placing value on women only by
the roles they play to men.
I bring this up not to
criticize Kleinhans, because
I, too, have made similar
statements in hopes of
making my feminism more
palatable to those who are
against the concept.
Rather, I raise the issue
because society as a whole
needs to reevaluate the ways
in which we fight misogyny,
and whether our methods
help or hinder that struggle.

Do not obscure the

truth in narratives
TO THE EDITOR:
Joseph Tillotson (66)
writes about the IsraeliPalestinian situation, asking The Daily Tar Heel to
provide the true facts
involved. His own letter, however, uses statements that themselves
obscure truth. He says in
1948 Israel destroyed villages and forcibly evicted
700,000 Palestinians.
He ignores the fact that
Britain controlled the area;
with their mandate expiring
in 1948, they looked to the
UN, which proposed a split
between Arab and Jewish
states. Arab countries
rejected this idea. Israel
declared its independence;
several days later Egypt,
Jordan, Iraq, and Syria
attacked. Israel prevailed.
Many Arabs left Israel, and
yes, many were forced out.
Simultaneously, Jews
living in Arab countries
were attacked and evicted
too (nobody talks about
that). Mr. Tillotson wants
UNC students to help solve

one of the most egregious
human rights violations in
our lifetime.
This is rather sweeping. Israel is not pure,
but neither is China,
which has occupied and
repressed Tibet for 60
years. Mr. Tillotson says
the Palestinian issue motivates students on California
campuses. He undoubtedly
refers to BDS demonstrations, which often rely on
misinformation, intimidation and harassment. Their
actions have spilled over
into outright anti-Semitism,
causing Jewish students
and others to feel unsafe.
Thankfully, FLAME, TIP
and others are fighting back
with accurate information.
By the way, today about
2 million Arabs live in
Israel, 20 percent of the
population; they have civil
rights far greater than they
would especially true
for women in any Arab
country. No, Mr. Tillotson,
we do not need BDS tactics or their half-truths in
Chapel Hill.

One major isnt more

valuable than others
TO THE EDITOR:
Kenan-Flaglers proposed fee sets a bad precedent, argues that the
proposal of a $3,000 fee
for undergraduate majors
of business contradicts
the University values of
affordability and equity
and would set a precedent
for other programs to
charge fees based on their
perceived worth.
Those in favor of the fees
claim their justification as
business students feel they
get more out of being in
the Kenan-Flagler school
as opposed to merely being
a UNC student. The article
ends with a call to take a
stand through letters to the
editor, which is precisely
what I am doing here.
While I firmly agree with
the articles main point,
what it didnt emphasize
enough, and certainly
should, is the lasting effect
it would have on the education system. By increasing
the costs of a major, UNC is
saying that one major has
higher worth than others.
Majors should not be compared based on future earnings and surely shouldnt
have a price on them.
Not only does this defeat
equality as some students
wouldnt be able to afford
their choice major, but it
defeats a liberal education.
College is a chance for
educational exploration, but
when a University (assigns
a fee to) a major claiming it
has higher future earnings,
its discriminating against
all other fields and making
students biased in their
choice of major.

Newly naturalized citizens

recognize power of voting
By Samantha Scott
Staff Writer
Recently naturalized citizens marched to the Board of

Elections office in Durham to
vote for the first time Sunday,
holding signs that read slogans such as Refugees Vote
and Our Voice Counts.
Sijal Nasralla, community
organizer for the Church
World Service, organized the
event to encourage new citizens to vote.
Our vote not only counts
more because we understand
the value of citizenship, but
it also counts more because
we have the right to empower
those people who do not have
the means to gain citizenship, he said.
Nasralla said he felt motivated to help recently naturalized citizens vote because he
recalled the happiness his own
father felt when he first voted.
We are trying to shift the
narrative of how refugees and
immigrants have been represented during this election
cycle, he said. America is often
seen as a safe haven for these
people and we want make sure
our community continues that
reputation of a warm welcome

with integrity. My father was
a refugee from Palestine who
gained citizenship when I was
about eight years old it was a
happy time for my family.
Rosalinda Mondragon, a
recently naturalized citizen
from Mexico, voted for the
first time on Sunday.
She has lived in the United
States since 1989 and was
granted citizenship in 2011.
I am very excited to vote
for the first time, because Ive
passed all of these challenges
to be a citizen and my voice
counts for many other immigrants no matter which party
I vote for, Mondragon said.
She said she was excited,
but also a little confused by
the voting process.
There is a lot of publicity for the American people
through the media, but I do
not feel the publicity for the
Hispanic people, she said.
After voting, Mondragon
said she felt much more confident about the voting process.
I was nervous but everything was easy and now I am
very happy, she said.
Mondragons daughter,
Crystal Grande, 19, said it
meant a lot to her to see her

mother vote. This was also
Grandes first time voting.
My mom would work
day and night and would
always come back from work
exhausted the process for
citizenship was a very long
one, Grande said.
Sufyan Abdullah, who is
originally from Iraq, is not yet
able to vote but attended the
march to support the cause.
I came to the United
States in 2012 for the safety
I didnt feel safe for my
family or for my life, he said.
This is a positive change for
these new citizens it is like
they are newborns because
this is a new beginning as
they truly feel American now.
Abdullah has one year left
in the five-year residency
requirement to apply for
citizenship and said he hopes
everyone recognizes the
importance of voting.
Your voice is your weapon,
so dont misuse it, he said.
I hope everyone realizes the
power of their voice that can
be expressed through the
right to vote.

The Public School Forum

of North Carolina released
a 2016 report Oct. 20 to
address racial inequity in
state schools, teaching children with trauma and helping
low-performing schools.
The forum consisted of
educators, administrators,
policy-makers and other
experts. The report recommended potential solutions
like creating task forces,
increasing diversity in AP
and honors classes, providing
teachers with more cultural
competency training and
investing in early childhood
education programs.
Mark Jewell, president
of the North Carolina
Association of Educators, said
the association supports the
reports recommendations.
(The report) is great
information that needs to be
shared with our community
leaders and business leaders who support our public
schools in North Carolina,
he said.
Matt Ellinwood, director
of the Education and Law
Project at the North Carolina
Justice Center, who helped
with the report, said N.C.
public schools face many
problems like discrepancies
in disciplinary practices and
the resegregation of schools.

We came out on the
end that racial differences
really do matter, he said.
Differences in peoples socioeconomic status can explain a
lot of these disparities but not
all of them.
The report recommends
teachers and administrators
be trained on implicit bias
unintentional prejudice
against a certain group to
avoid discriminatory practices.
Ellinwood said implicit
bias training is needed and it
is important for educators to
distinguish between implicit
bias and racism.
I think some of those
people seem to get on the
defensive when they hear
about some of these racial
achievement gaps, racial
inequalities and disparities,
that theyre the result of bad
things, he said. It takes
people from being on the
defensive that youre not
necessarily doing anything
wrong, its that we needed
things like more professional
development and training to
help people with their crossracial understanding.
The report also made
recommendations for dealing with students who have
suffered adverse childhood
experiences, such as abuse
or other forms of household
dysfunction.
Jewell said students who
encounter these traumas are
often living in poverty.
We know that children
who live in poverty come to
school at a greater risk of
having traumatizing events
in their lives which affects
their learning development
particularly in language and
vocabulary, he said. Clearly
the impact of trauma on children in our schools is significant on student learning and
brain development.
The report also made recommendations for schools
deemed to be low-performing
and calls for reforms including investment in early childhood education, better allocation of resources and changing how student performance
is measured.
Jewell said he agrees
with the recommendations
but would also like to see
greater support from Gov.
Pat McCrory and the N.C.
General Assembly. North
Carolina ranked 44th in perstudent funding in 2014.
Well you know I always
say it takes resources,
Jewell said. You cant educate every child in North
Carolina on the cheap, particularly those in poverty or
with special needs.

The Daily Tar Heel
Town hall forum commemorates desegregation

By Lidia Davis
Staff Writer
When Chapel HillCarrboro City Schools were

first desegregated in 1966,
Keith Edwards dream to
one day be a member of the
Lincoln High School band
was lost.
On her first day at the
newly-integrated Chapel
Hill Junior High School, she
didnt want to leave the car.
At school, the longtime
Chapel Hill resident said
she was spit on, tripped and
called names.
We black kids we were
not bullied we were terrorized, she said.
A forum at Northside
Elementary School Saturday
commemorated 50 years
of desegregation in Chapel
Hill-Carrboro City Schools,
but acknowledged that more
work still needs to be done.
The forum was organized
by the Lincoln High-Orange
County Training School
Alumni Association.
When Chapel HillCarrboro City Schools were
desegregated in 1966, students from the all-black
Lincoln High School were
required to attend what is
now Chapel Hill High School.
Desegregation was a step
toward inclusion, but it carried hardships of change and
uprooted students and teachers from a comfortable environment a common theme
discussed at the forum.
Carolyn Daniels, panel
member and one of the first
students to graduate from the
newly desegregated Chapel
Hill High School in 1967, said
she felt a deep sense of loss
when Lincoln High closed.
During my senior year,
the saying separate but equal
comes to mind, which is one
of the biggest lies Ive ever
DTH/RYAN HERRON
(From left) Stanley Vickers, Carolyn Daniels, Judy Van Wyk and Alice Page Battle speak about their experiences when Chapel Hills schools were racially integrated.
heard, she said.

Event coordinator Danita
Mason-Hogans said the issue
of desegregation in Chapel
Hill-Carrboro has never truly
been resolved, but a community effort, like the forum,
will help everyone to better
understand one another.
Some of the things that
are going on now have residual effects in the desegregation
of the schools, said Mason-
Hogans, who graduated from

the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City
Schools system in 1985.
She said when she was
going through school, she felt
like her teachers had negative
feelings and lower expectations for her than they had for
white students.
James Barrett, chairperson of the Chapel HillCarrboro City Schools Board
of Education, said strides
have been made for integration, but there is still more

work to be done. He said the
school board has been working on an equity plan to help
close some racial inconsistencies in schools.
Its a little disheartening to
think about how things havent
changed in 50 years that
much, Barrett said. There are
still situations where you can
look in a window of a room
and know by the color of the

students in there what the level
of the class is.
David Mason Jr., president
of the Lincoln High-Orange
County Training School
Alumni Association and
Mason-Hogans father, said
the biggest problem in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools
is the achievement gap, followed by punishment disparities. He said its good to know
the school board is proactive

in establishing greater equity.
I happen to believe that
one of the biggest problems
we have today is a lack of
empathy, so if you can have
people express their ideas
and feelings, and other
people identify with them, I
think that we can make some
changes, Mason said.
Fraternity pushes for gender-neutral titles

By Sarah Moore
Staff Writer
UNCs chapter of Alpha

Phi Omega will be sending
seven members to the fraternitys national convention
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
in December to advocate for
the use of gender-inclusive
language.
The co-ed service fraternity
has already begun implementing changes at UNC by
referring to their members as
siblings instead of brothers and has submitted an
amendment to the national
board that would allow mem-
bers nationwide to choose

how they title themselves.
Senior Sarah Margaret
Christy, member of Alpha
Phi Omega, said it has been
a topic of conversation for
awhile, but last semester an
official committee was formed.
We wanted to keep a term
that kind of represented
familial language like
brother does that was
more inclusive, so we chose
sibling, she said.
Christy said the Alpha
Phi Omega bylaws state that
every initiated member will
be referred to as a brother.
She said the fraternity does
not want to push any chapter to use a specific term,

but for chapters to have the
right to self-title their members, and for that title to be
recognized nationally.
Christy said delegates were
selected based on a vote to
determine who would attend
the convention, and nondelegate members submitted
a paper application.
We were limited to a number by funding so its going to
be two delegates and five nondelegate members attending,
Christy said.
Senior Brandi Lawrence,
member of Alpha Phi Omega,
said she believes gender neutral language is something to

actively push for.
One of our founding
principles is friendship, and
in friendship we always talk
about how were all a big family, and we cant be a family
if everyone isnt included or
welcome, Lawrence said.
Lawrence said the fraternity is working on several
fundraisers to make attendance at the convention possible, such as bake sales and a
GoFundMe page.
The overall reason were
doing this is so we can make
what were doing ratified by
nationals and so other chapters

can see and make these changes for themselves, she said.
Both Christy and Lawrence
were nominated to attend the
national convention.
K.C. Hemstreet, a UNC
graduate and member of
Alpha Phi Omega from 2012
to 2015, donated to the fraternitys GoFundMe. Hemstreet
said the idea of inclusive language was shut down every
year because members felt it
would be too hard to change.
However, I always felt that
language is really important,
and if the fraternity was gender inclusive, then it should
use gender inclusive language, Hemstreet said.

Hemstreet said she was sad
when the idea was rejected
every year.
The reality is that while
the male descriptor is often
used to describe all genders,
we are a society that has said
we believe in equality for all
genders, so I support any
cause to change everyday
language to reflect that,
Hemstreet said.
Its a simple thing to
change yet really meaningful
overall.

The Daily Tar Heel: Why are you

running for Miss UNC?
DN: In the summer this idea
for my platform kind of came
to me randomly one night and
I had to take out my iPhone
and write it all down in notes,
and I was like, what would be
the best way to get some support around this? So when the
opportunity was presented to
run, I chose to do so.
DTH: What is your service
project plan?
DN: The platform is called
Discover You(NC). It would
be a project that serves to
bridge the gap between the
intersections of marginalized
groups on campus promoting self-love, self-awareness,
and the importance of selfworth kind of has gotten more
important to me this year

with different things that are
going on in the country and
how they are translated on to
Carolinas campus I feel like
a lot of times there are protests
on campus or different events
creating awareness around
certain issues dealing with
social justice. It is usually like
we are fighting for different
issues within that one group
and I know there is usually a
lot of people who support the
same ideas and want to help
and be an ally, we just dont
always know how to do so, so
being able to create conversation, understanding a better
sense of understanding our
peers on campus and learning how to support different
groups and their journeys to
whatever goals or changes that
may be presented to those specific communities.

running for Miss UNC?

project plan?

running?
MD: I was actually recently at

a conference in Houston and
we started talking about how
in the Houston school district
they created a position that
brought together all of the
resources that served children
in the local community and
we were like, Thats crazy that
that had never existed before.
And we decided that it would
be a really good idea to have
that at UNC. And then kind of
looking at the resources that
we have, we have more than
just resources that can help
with reading or writing or
math but resources that help
with childrens whole identity
and so Im running for Miss
UNC because we wanted to
kind of give a greater platform
to Education Collaboration...
MD: So it started off originally

just as I said, the education
like what we think of originally
as education, right, like the
amount of times tables we had
to memorize or stuff like that
educations more than that
now...it should be about all the
different facets of childrens
identities we needed to start
doing something to address the
systemic inequity that exists
in the school systems and one
of those things is bringing
in childrens multi-identities
because every student has
something thats important
that they understand, that they
know thats their strength and
that thats their culture or their
physicality or like anything that
they wanna do, like, we should
be able to support them.
KB: I wanna be Miss UNC

because the lack of funding for
pediatric cancer research. My
inspiration for all this is that
I lost a friend through cancer
about three years ago and
through that, I kind of saw how
it would have helped if there
had been more research for the
cancer he had because the type
of cancer he had was rare and
it would have helped if there
had been more research.

and some a cappella groups

to come. Im hoping for the
kids I work with at (Carolina
Pediatric Attention, Love, and
Support) to come because this
is basically all for them.
DTH: Any last comments you
want to leave me with?
KB: Id like to say that the
name of my platform is
More than 4 and the reason for that is only four percent of federal funding for
cancer goes to pediatric cancer. And I think thats insane
because our kids deserve
way more than that. Adult
cancer is extremely important too, but our kids definitely deserve more. Even if
I dont win, Ive been able to
raise awareness and that was
the whole goal of my campaign in the first place.

running for Mr. UNC?
Osaru Onaiwu: Running for Mr.
UNC was something I think
Ive had in my mind since my
first year. And everyone who
has won in the past years is
somebody that Ive known
and had a good relation with
and Ive just been inspired by
their involvement on campus. So I guess throughout
my four years, Ive loved to
also carry out those same
kind of visions. So running
for Mr. UNC, Ive been really
involved in service so I wanna
carry out that spirit of service
and in my project as well.
project plan?
OO: My service project, called
Building Bonds through
Service, I plan to have a

monthly service project
to help facilitate relations
between the police department and the UNC community. I feel like this is like
a very important issue, especially concerning the stress
that has been growing among
the community towards and
probably vice versa and even
considering, like, the larger
aspect of police brutality in
the country as well.
DTH: Is there anything else
youd like to add?
OO: I feel like every candidate
thats running for Mr. UNC
are very qualified I feel
like everyone is having a
great platform to bring and
so I feel like itd be great to
be Mr. UNC to spread the
spirit of service.

running?
Seth Bumgarner: It kind of
started more like a joke. I
made some friends, we would
always study in Davis together and it was like 2 a.m. late
night deliriums and one night
one of them was like, Seth,
you should really run for Mr.
UNC. Im like, Thanks, well
come back to that. And then
I went through Carolina not
really thinking about it and
coming into this year I had
the mindset of trying to make
the most of my experience
while I was here.
DTH: If you win, what do you
plan to do as your service

through New Student

students will get a postcard

they can fill it in and they sign
it. So, for example, lets say a
student wants to go bowling
for their self-care, that can be
totally independent of seeing their friends or anything
because self-care really relies
on the individual.
DTH: Any lasting comments
you want to leave me with?
SB: I would say that if any
student takes something
away from this experience or
sees us in the Pit, I think any
candidate would just want a
student to make the most of
their time at UNC.

running for Mr. UNC?
LG: Overall just to bring awareness to issues of disability
and accessibility on campus. I
started this work four years ago
when I got here. It is a good
way for me to exit Carolina and
leave a Heel print.
project plan?
LG: The hope is to bring adaptive sports to Carolina, starting with wheelchair basketball. The goal of it would be
to establish a program within
Campus Rec as an option for
students with disabilities and
students without disabilities
to compete, which would be
within the already established
intramural sports program,
and students would be able to
sign up and compete against

each other and play. The
hope from there would be to
expand that into other sports.
DTH: What has the process for
running been like?
LG: It has been a little bit
stressful. I think with all of
the senior-year related things
along with the campaign
have been tough balancing
classes with what I am doing
next year, working, etc. The
plan is grad school, so I am
applying for grad school right
now. We have been balancing
this for four years now, but
it has been a breath of fresh
air to get involved in this and
take a step back and think
about what this means for
the Carolina community and
being able to embrace what
this means for senior year.

CLOWNS
hes in his 60s. Because of

this, the creepy clown trend
hasnt really affected his work,
but hes fielded concerns from
other clowns in the area.
Given all his expertise, his
input on the situation is surprisingly simple.
First off, theyre not
clowns. Theyre just goofballs
dressing up and trying to scare
people. Theyre not clowns
because theyre not intending
to make people laugh in any
way, shape or form, he said.
And, although the subject matter may be serious,
Bartlett said a solution might
be humorous.
Ive had a number of
conversations with clowns
about this, during this little
tempest in a teapot, and Ive
said, You can solve this
just make them laugh, he
said. If somebody sees you
make them laugh and theyll
relax right then and there and
think, Oh, theyre okay.

began after his wife signed

him up for a balloon sculpture class to get him out of
the house.
I promised to go to the
one class and that was it. But
my kids liked it, so I decided
to keep going off with the balloons, he said. I wasnt going
to buy any books on how to
do it, so I made up all the
stuff myself, not knowing that
thats not the way its done.
A salesman at the balloon
shop took notice and referred
Bartlett to his first gig at a
local Belk store.
I didnt feel like I could
do it as a real person, so I
decided to create a clown
character my wife and I
came up with that, he said.
And the more I got into that,
the more I realized that the
clowning was way more fun
than the balloons.
Soon Bartlett was performing at five or six birthday
parties a weekend across the
Triangle area as well as shows
at UNC and Duke hospitals.
Hes slowed down recently,
but not because he doesnt
love the work just because
out at gigs.
Though clowns are a
part of the bands identity,
their impact isnt as big as it
would seem.
In some respects, there
are people who do express
interest based on that. In
some respects, its completely
irrelevant. It doesnt really
say much about what we do,
Pawsey said.
I guess its a kind of a way
trying to present that carnival
type of atmosphere and kind of
subliminally suggest it so that
people know theyre not just
coming to see a band play.
The name for Pete Pawseys

band came to him in a dream.
Actually, I usually lie
about this, but in the interest
of good journalism it came
from a nightmare where there

was an operating room and
clowns kind of looming.
Out of that nightmare,
Radars Clowns of Sedation
was born. The soul and blues
band which is not actually
comprised of clowns, except
for during special shows in
which they wear makeup
has a rotating cast of members based all around the
Triangle.
Several years ago somebody did try to book us for a
clown gig, an actual clowning
gig, and I had to say, Sorry,
we dont actually do that, per
se, Pawsey said.
The band occasionally lives
up to their name, especially
around the Halloween season.
They plan on dressing up
for a Nov. 4 show at Mystery
Brewing Public House despite
the current controversy
around clowns.
For Halloween gigs we
often are made up. Theres a
picture from (The Cave) from
six or seven years ago that I
think I have kind of the Heath
Ledger-kind of makeup on and
my drummer is David Bowie,
Pawsey said. People have to be
aware that its going to happen
otherwise people tend to freak
We act as the communication element for all downtown stakeholders, Bobby

Funk, assistant director of the
downtown partnership, said.
We try to bring all parties to
the table.
Funk said their process for
planning this years celebration was very similar to the
preparation in previous years.
The preliminary meetings
start very early on, Funk said.
Brian Litchfield, director
for Chapel Hill Transit, said
the change in location on
Franklin Street did not affect
their planning for Halloween.
We have to adjust our
services whether it is one section of Franklin Street or the
other, Litchfield said.
There are eight bus routes
that will be detoured or will
end early the CM, CW, D,
F, J, NS, NU and EZ routes.

Matt Sullivan, the Chapel
Hill fire chief, said there will
be 45 to 50 firefighters working the event, in addition to
those on duty for the rest of
the town.
Weve been doing it a long
time, so we rely on our experience to identify the anticipated risks, he said. It takes
a lot of support for the event
each year.
Sullivan said they debrief
after the celebration, then
they step back and have a
little breathing room to relax.
Everybody has the same
goal to have an enjoyable Halloween, he said.
All the folks there to have a
good time carry some of that
responsibility as well.

When we clear the street,

people start drinking, he
said. A lot of calls come in
after the event.
Due to the events shift to
East Franklin Street, there
will be a barricade this year at
the intersection of Columbia
and Franklin to prevent cars
from turning onto the street.
In the past, we had a buffer area, Mecimore said. It
is smaller this year, so we
needed a positive barrier
instead of cones and barrels
like previous years.
The Chapel Hill Downtown
Partnership works together
with the police department
and downtown residents and
businesses to set event expectations.
Clowns on campus?
Unlike school districts in
New Jersey and Connecticut,
the Chapel Hill Police
Department does not have
an official stance on clown
costumes.
We have no authority
to regulate what costume
someone wears, said Lt. Josh
Mecimore, spokesperson
for the Chapel Hill Police
Department. There might
be some authority to regulate
lewd costumes or something
that falls under some other
state law, but theres no way

to finally give graduate and
professional students a
voice.
Katie Stember, a member
of the Future of GPSF committee, said GPSF has two
options the administration
could intervene or there could
be a revote.
If we go to a revote, okay,
but I think people are tired of
voting for this, Stember said.
Brian Coussens, vice president for internal affairs of
GPSF, said if the administration takes action, they need to
do so before the next general
election in the spring.
So ideally the administration will intercede
now and do something,
Coussens said.
The Daily Tar Heel

for a law enforcement agency
or anyone to regulate whether
people wear clown costumes
or not.
While a clown was arrested
in Hillsborough in October
for theft and fraud of an ATM
card, there havent been any
similar incidents Chapel Hill.
However, that hasnt
stopped some students from
worrying.
There was a sense of
fear. People in my district
were afraid with everything
that ever happened with
clowns across the country,
and people were scared, said
first-year Tarik Woods, who
represents District Four in
Student Congress.
Woods uploaded a public
service announcement on
YouTube entitled We aint
afraid of no clowns at UNC,
on Oct. 6.
My motive behind it was,
How can I take these guys
minds off of clowns and
reassure them that nothing
could go wrong and that
everyone would be safe?
Woods said. So I made a
video that seemed to work
it did just that, it took
peoples minds off of it and
made them laugh, made
them feel more comfortable.

But Woods doesnt think the
University needs to follow suit.
I think the University is
doing pretty well keeping
people safe, he said. I do not
foresee clowns posing any
threat to the way we act in our
daily lives. I dont think the
University really needs to do
anything, because I dont see
the need to put a larger focus
on something this stupid.
First-year Miriam
Chisholm agrees.
I think theres nothing
really to worry about, Im not
concerned at all, she said.
I feel like there have just
been a lot of isolated incidents that have become a big
thing but I dont think its
become a threat to any students on campus.
And Bartlett agrees. Real
clowns arent meant to create worry theyre meant to
create joy.
When you go out dressed
as a clown, you should know
that just the way you look
creates the expectation that
youre going to be fun, he
said. And if you arent, then
you become suspect.

Coussens said he has filed

over 80 alleged violations for
spreading misinformation
about the election, mainly
against the No for Both
campaign, which fought
against any form of change to
student government.
These were not registered
as groups until 11 hours
before the election, he said.
Russell said the allegations have not yet gone to the
Board of Elections.
Simons said one way of
proceeding is to introduce the
idea of splitting to Student
Congress.
If its introduced in front
of Congress, Congress will
vote on whether they think
its a change that should be
made and if the majority of
Congress thinks its a change
that should be made, then it
are they going to

finally give graduate and professional
students a voice.

Anthropology professor studies Rastafari

Charles Price is
writing his second
book on the culture.
Jamaica.
Price said he was interested in answering the questions of why and how people
become Rastafarian, a question he said people have not
before asked.
His first part of that
project that hes already
published in a book has a
lot to do with the way that
Rastafari practice has transformed peoples identities
and sense of self and now hes
putting together the broader
history of the community as
its come together in Jamaica
and beyond, said Rudi
Colloredo-Mansfeld, chair-
By Kayla Drake
Staff Writer
This is part of a series of

profiles on professors doing
interesting things across
UNCs campus.
After writing a book on
the origins of Rastafarianism,
anthropology professor
Charles Price is continuing
his research on the Rastafari
culture and identity in
person of the Department of

Anthropology.
So thats an important
project in part just to know
the history of those people
in that community, but also
there are people worldwide
from Angola to Cuba to
wherever that are interested
in Rastafari ideology, culture
and history.
His second book, still a
work in progress, will focus
on peoples collective identities.
With this (book) Im
hoping that I can make
some contributions to how
we think about and explain
collective identity because

I think a lot of the work
thats out there really tries to
explain it by focusing actually on individuals to understand this collective identity
and what Ive been trying to
do is to really develop a way
to sort of incorporate the
social and historical factors
that shape a collective identity, Price said.
Colloredo-Mansfeld said
UNC is lucky to have Price as
a professor.
This work speaks directly
to urgent national debates
and conversations about race,
about justice, about respect
and understanding across

racial division, ColloredoMansfeld said.
And so Carolina is very
lucky to have incorporated
and kept Dr. Price as a scholar on this campus because he
engages this debate directly
in the United States with his
work with African American
communities in the States,
but he also engages it as an
anthropologist whos looking
internationally.
Massie Minor, graduate
student in the anthropology department, said when
he took an anthropology
course with Price as first-

Report studies Koch political influence

By Parker Marshall
Staff Writer
As North Carolina candidates campaign in the week

before the election, a recent
report alleges that the Koch
brothers are influencing
North Carolinas races.
The report was released
by The Bridge Project, an
extension of the nationwide
Democratic Super PAC,
American Bridge. It accuses
Republican politicians of
taking contributions from
Charles and David Koch, two
high-profile businessmen who
are known for contributing to
conservative campaigns.
The report describes the
Koch brothers financial
involvement in N.C. issues,
ranging from veterans to
healthcare to House Bill 2.
The report also includes a list
of Koch-funded candidates
including incumbent Sen.
Richard Burr, R-NC, and Gov.
Pat McCrory.
In September 2016, the

Americans for Prosperity, a
conservative group founded by
the Koch brothers, launched
a six-figure campaign against
Roy Cooper, the Democratic
gubernatorial candidate,
according to the report.
Morgan Williams, spokesperson for the Bridge Project,
said voters need to be aware
of what influences politicians
mentioned in the report.
They are beholden to the
Kochs because they have
received all this money from
them and they may not look
after North Carolinas best
interests first, she said.
The report alleged that in
the 2010 midterm election,
Americans for Prosperity
funded candidates who would
go on to co-sponsor and support House Bill 2.
The report accused
the conservative-leaning
John William Pope Civitas
Institute, which was named
after the father of major Koch
donor Art Pope, of acting in

the Koch brothers interests.
Susan Myrick, an election
policy analyst for the Civitas
Institute, said in an email that
while the facts about Civitas
were true, the report is misleading because it only discusses a small amount of the
political funding in the state.
The left has significantly
more money, groups and paid
staffers working to advocate
for liberal causes in North
Carolina than the right has for
conservative causes, she said.
Rob Schofield, policy director at North Carolina Policy
Watch, said roughly a decade
ago there was a trend in the
state toward elections that
didnt rely on large donors.
Now weve sort of, unfortunately, embraced this
system in which money is
overwhelmingly important,
and especially big-money
which comes, generally, from
a handful of super wealthy
donors, he said.
The flow of political money

into the state disempowers
local voters, Schofield said.
It feeds control of our
elections to people who arent
even North Carolinians quite
often, he said.

All coaches can ask of their

teams is to play their best at the end
of the season.
After shutting out No. 7 Virginia
in a 3-0 win on Sunday, it looks like
the No. 16 North Carolina womens
soccer team is doing just that.
It feels fantastic, not only
because we beat a very good Virginia
team but the margin Head Coach
Anson Dorrance said. A 3-0 margin
is an incredible margin in soccer for
us, so to beat an elite team, it helps
us on so many levels.
It certainly gets us into the ACC
semifinal, but the amount of mileage
we are going to get out of an NCAA
seed is huge.
Dorrance said with the win over
the Cavaliers (13-4-2, 6-2-2 ACC),
the Tar Heels (12-3-3, 6-2-2 ACC)
are positioned to earn at least a
No. 3 seed if not a second seed
in the NCAA Tournament. That
high of a seeding wasnt always

such a certainty.
In September, North Carolina
dropped the first of back-to-back
games in a 3-0 road loss to USC.
Those three goals were the most the
storied North Carolina womens soccer program had allowed since a 4-3
overtime loss to Texas A&M in 2011.
Just five days later, UNC lost 1-0
at home to N.C. State. It was the
teams first loss to the Wolfpack
since 2002 and only the second
ever.
But the Tar Heels learned their
lessons, grew as a club and are now
playing better than they have all
season.
I like to say that we are peaking
at the right moment, first-year forward Madison Schultz said. So you
can say all you want at the beginning
of the season about teams and what
they are going to be like, but we have
an amazing group of girls
We couldnt be playing better at a
better time, really.
Against Virginia, UNC did well to
capitalize on the Cavaliers mistakes.
North Carolina and Virginia are two
evenly matched teams entering
Saturday boasting identical conference records and ranking No. 4
and No. 5 in the ACC Tournament
bracket, respectively.
But Virginia made two critical
errors late in the first half to open
the door for a UNC blowout.
The first Tar Heel goal came from
Schultz who scored UNCs only
goal in Thursdays win over Florida
State. Schultz pressured Virginia
goalkeeper Morgan Stearns, who
fumbled the ball away. Schultz, a
substitute, took advantage to come
away with the easy goal.
DTH/GABI PALACIO
The womens soccer team celebrates after first-year forward Madison Schultz (1) scored against Virginia on Sunday.
Minutes later, the Cavaliers had

the ball in the attacking end and
made another mistake another
critical turnover. Suddenly, senior
Sarah Ashley Firstenberg found herself with a lot of green grass ahead.
She dribbled forward and finished
with a brilliant strike to the far side
of the goal, giving UNC a 2-0 lead.
Sophomore Julia Ashley scored
the third and final goal for the Tar
Heels in the second half, tallying her
first goal of the season.
It seems to be all coming together
now for UNC. The offense has

scored 10 goals in its past four
games, aided by the emergence of
first-year Bridgette Andrzejewski.
Shes scored nine goals this season,
including seven in ACC regularseason play.
Meanwhile, the defense is as stout
as ever. Redshirt senior defender
Hanna Gardner has kept the unit
prepared and well-orchestrated,
and keeper Lindsey Harris has elevated her play in the last few weeks.
Harris made some impressive saves
Saturday, and Gardners slide tackle

to prevent a Virginia attack was one
of the highlights of the first half.
The goals for the rest of the
season are simple, according to
Gardner.
Just to keep fighting, and keep
fighting for each other, she said.
And I think if we do that, were really going to give a lot of teams hell.
And were gonna make a cool run
and hopefully do something special.

Tar Heels end regular season on high note

FIELD HOCKEY
NORTH CAROLINA 9
APPALACHIAN STATE 1
By Sam Doughton
Staff Writer
After ending ACC play

with two losses on the road,
the No. 5 North Carolina
field hockey team needed
some momentum ahead of
the ACC Tournament.
UNC got exactly what it
was looking for Sunday, as
they outshot Appalachian
State 34-2 en route to a dominant 9-1 victory.
Its a nice day for the
Carolina community all the
way around, Head Coach
Karen Shelton said.
On senior day at Henry
Stadium, the Tar Heels (15-4)

were relentless on the attack,
creating myriad chances.
North Carolina used stick
skills, intricate passing and
penalty corners to put pressure on the Mountaineers
(1-14). UNC could have easily
had three or four more goals,
as Appalachian State keeper
Rachel Gaines made 13 saves.
With the Mountaineers
coached by UNC field hockey
alum Meghan Dawson
coming off a 9-1 loss to No.
18 Wake Forest on Friday, the
Tar Heels knew there would
be plenty of chances to score.
We just wanted to keep
playing how we were playing all season, senior Lauren
Moyer said. Come out fast,
and then score a lot of goals
make it really fun for
everyone on the team, espe-
cially the seniors.

Shelton started every
graduating senior to open
the game, subbing in many
of her reserve players as the
scoring opened up. This created chances for players like
redshirt first-year Catherine
Hayden, who picked up two
goals to double her season
total and added an assist on
the final goal of the game.
Sundays win served as
a swan song to the regular
season for the Tar Heels.
After dropping the final two
games of ACC play to No. 7
Louisville and No. 1 Duke
on the road, UNC picked
up wins against Liberty and
Old Dominion to build some
momentum heading into the
ACC tournament.
UNC, the No. 5 seed,
begins its tournament cham-
pionship defense against

Louisville at 11 a.m. on
Thursday on Wake Forests
campus in Winston-Salem.
We have a good idea
about what we need to do and
what we need to fix and how
we should play against them,
Hayden said.
NCAA tournament seeding
will be affected by the results
in Winston-Salem. Shelton
said if UNC wins two games
in the tournament to make
the finals, she thinks the Tar
Heels will have a good chance
of securing a top-4 seed
nationally and the host site
that comes with it.
Shelton hopes the momentum from the final nonconference games will help the team
with its tournament run.
We know we have a tall
task with Louisville, but we

also have a bit of a revenge

factor, Shelton said. They
beat us on their home field,
and now we have a chance
to beat them on a neutral
site and a lots at stake. So

I think our kids will be ready
on Thursday.

Womens golf closes fall UNC volleyball drops first ACC match
season in rough fashion PITTSBURGH3
Who stood out?
VOLLEYBALL
North Carolina took

14th place in the
Landfall Tradition.
By Brandon White
Staff Writer
The North Carolina

womens golf team started
the weekend with promise
in the Landfall Tradition,
but the team had to settle
with a 14th place finish after
a poor showing on Sunday
afternoon.
What happened?
The Tar Heels started
off the weekend by scoring a 300 (+12) on Friday,
with strong performances
by senior Leslie Cloots and
junior Bryana Nguyen
who tallied scores of 73 (+1)
and 72 (E), respectively.
Nguyen shot six strokes
worse on Saturday, but Cloots
posted the lowest individual
round score for the Tar Heels
with a 70 (-2). The team
improved on its Friday performance with a 297 (+9) for
the day.
But the Tar Heels faltered
on Sunday, earning a score
of 308 (+20) to fall to 14th
place out of 18 teams in the
tournament.
Who stood out?

North Carolina faced
a strong competitive field
throughout the weekend, but
individual members found
success despite the struggles
UNC would encounter near
the end of the tournament.
Junior Lexi Harkins
recorded 40 pars for the
Tar Heels, which helped
the team remain in contention throughout most of the
tournament. Nguyen and
first-year Brynn Walker both
recorded seven birdies each,
but the team only totaled 22
for the entire tournament
the third-worst showing
among the field.
When was it decided?

The strong showings
exhibited by the Tar Heels on
Friday and Saturday did not
carry over into Sunday. The
team struggled throughout
the day and finished the tournament with a cumulative
score of 905 46 strokes
behind Landfall Tradition cochampions Wake Forest and
South Carolina.
Sophomore Kelly Whaley
recorded the best individual
score for the Tar Heels on
Sunday with a 76 (+4), but
she still finished in a fourway tie for 84th overall.
Cloots placed the highest

among North Carolinas
golfers in a tie for 25th with
a score of 221 (+5) 14
strokes behind the score of
the tournaments individual
champion, Wake Forest
sophomore Jennifer Kupcho.
Why does it matter?

North Carolina hoped
to finish October on a high
note after finishing first at
the Cougar Classic to begin
the month and placing in
the middle of the pack at
home in the Ruths Chris Tar
Heel Invitational.
Though the team did not
get the result it was looking for in Wilmington,
Head Coach Jan Mann has
applauded the teams tenacity
and talent in past tournaments. The Tar Heels have
to focus on their strengths
and correct mistakes as they
prepare for the road to the
postseason in 2017.
When do they play next?

North Carolina will
have a four-month break
before traveling to St. Lucie,
Florida, to participate in the
Central District Invitational
on Feb. 20-21.

NORTH CAROLINA
By Jonah Lossiah
Staff Writer
The No. 8 North Carolina volleyball

team dropped its first ACC game Sunday, as
Pittsburgh outlasted the Tar Heels in a fiveset affair (25-21, 19-25, 25-15, 23-25, 15-6).
What happened?
UNC (19-3, 11-1 ACC) started the match
slow, unable to take advantage of a 20-17 lead
in the first set. Pittsburgh (17-7, 8-4 ACC) was
playing with a lot of confidence to start, and
a strong 8-1 run to end the first set gave the
Panthers a 1-0 lead in the match.
UNC looked to right the ship in the second
set, jumping up 4-0 to start. But after the
Tar Heels grabbed a 14-6 lead, the Panthers
roared back on a 7-0 run. The two teams
traded several points until the Tar Heels
eventually broke away to notch a 25-19 win.
The Panthers turned things around in the
third set, capitalizing on momentum early. A
7-1 run gave the Pittsburgh a 19-12 lead, and
UNC simply didnt have enough to respond.
The Panthers won the set 25-15 and claimed a
2-1 lead in the match.
With their backs against the wall, Tar
Heels stepped up in a tight fourth set. Tied
with Pittsburgh 21-21, UNC made an important push to take the fourth set 25-23 on a kill
by first-year outside hitter Taylor Borup.
North Carolina grabbed the first point in
the final set, but Pittsburgh stayed strong.
The Panthers took an 8-5 lead and looked
to clinch the upset. Pittsburgh continued to
dominate the fifth set 15-6 to hand UNC its
first loss of the ACC campaign.
Redshirt sophomore Taylor Leath had solid

game, with a team-leading 17 kills and a .273
hitting percentage.
Borup also had a strong showing on
offense, tallying 13 kills. Borup and Leath
were the primary attackers for UNC, which is
missing one of its best hitters in Julia Scoles.
Pittsburgh first-year Nika Markovic took
over the match. She had 19 kills, including
four in the final frame.
When was it decided?

Tied 4-4 in the last set, UNC had a chance
to make a game-winning run. But three
straight kills by the Panthers put UNC behind
7-4, rattling the North Carolina squad.
The Tar Heels lost their composure and
Pittsburgh capitalized on the opportunity.
UNC earned one point back, but then gave
up a 6-0 run that built an insurmountable
13-5 deficit. Every Pittsburgh run was a blow
to the Tar Heels, and this was the knockout punch. Pittsburgh cruised to a 15-6 win
to clinch the match and a big win for Head
Coach Dan Fisher.
Why does it matter?

The Tar Heels set their best ACC start in
school history at 11-0 and are in the midst of
a four-game road stint. Dropping this game
opens the door for Florida State to contend
the conference title race, forcing the Tar Heels
to tighten their game with a good portion of
the season remaining.
Where do they play next?

North Carolina travels to Florida to take on
Miami at 7 p.m. on Friday.
