Serving UNC students and the University community since 1893

Campus culture and addiction
College alcohol
environment
makes
recovery hard
By Eva Ellenburg
Staff Writer
Senior Morgan Vickers spent
the night of the 2017 national
championship like most other UNC
students: She watched the game,
rushed Franklin Street and took
pictures with her friends. But unlike
the intoxicated crowd around her,
Vickers went home once Franklin
Street began to clear, choosing to
walk away from the party scene
developing after the victory.
Vickers has been sober for two
years. She developed an alcohol
addiction when she came to college
and started recovery during her
sophomore year. Vickers said she
didnt think her alcohol habits were
a problem for a long time, because
many college students around her
were also displaying unhealthy
drinking behavior.
One of the most difficult parts
about coming to terms with being a
person with an addiction was that
Acres off-limits to develop
By Doug Dubrowski
Staff Writer
Orange County has around 37,000
acres of land that cannot allow urban
development due to a joint planning
agreement between Chapel Hill,
Carrboro and Orange County.
The land is often referred to as the
rural land buffer and has served as
a boundary for development for the
past 30 years. The buffer has enjoyed
widespread political support and has
only undergone minor adjustments,
despite social change and the passage
of time. No urban development can
occur past the urban growth line.
Roger Waldon, former planning
director for Chapel Hill and cur-
rent planning consultant for Clarion
Associates, said he took a job as
Chapel Hill Planning Director in 1984
in the midst of a development boom
that led to urban sprawl in many com-
munities across the country.
Chapel Hill and Carrboro wanted
to prevent urban sprawl and came
together to create the urban growth
boundary. With the boundary, no
urban development can occur past
the growth line, Waldon said.
Waldon said some of the major
issues considered at the time he
drew the boundary were whether
the local water system could sup-
port the rate of population growth,
preservation of rural character and
the fiscal disadvantages of extending
public services like fire protection
across a large area of sprawl.
That was the objective: what
could we do to try to keep our growth

everyone around me was drink-
ing, and a lot of people around me
were blacking out or were falling
at parties or were doing things that
seemed sort of normal substance
abuse behaviors, Vickers said.

going but keep it contained? Waldon
said. Nobody wanted to stop the
growth, but we wanted to be able to
manage it and in doing that, provide
some certainty for developers, for
residents, everybody.
Without the growth bound-
ary, Waldon said Chapel Hill and
Carrboro periodically acquired land
from Orange County that was devel-
oped under different zoning restric-
tions and regulations.
The rural land buffer was drawn
on my kitchen table about 30 years
ago my son had some pencils and
crayons and was helping me, Waldon
said. I had information about the
topography, build patterns and trac-
ing paper, and basically, I tried to put
all these ideas together to come up
with this urban growth boundary.
Today, Waldon said the buffer has
largely succeeded. Chapel Hill and
Carrboro are water-independent,
public services are not spread too
thin by sprawl and transportation is
manageable. Orange County Board
Commissioner Barry Jacobs agreed
the rural land buffer has allowed
Orange County to preserve and grow
its agricultural economy rather than
watch its farmland be consumed by
sprawl.
Jacobs said a presentation is
planned in the spring for the 30th
anniversary of the buffers creation to
remind elected officials and the pub-
lic of its importance, size and affect
on water and air quality.
There are occasionally questions,

percent of UNC students who drink,
about 40 percent of them binge

Mens basketball seeks
progress after MSU loss
By James Tatter
Assistant Sports Editor
Before dawn on Monday morn-
ing, Roy Williams was sitting on
the North Carolina mens basket-
ball teams flight back to Chapel
Hill. He read a few pages from his
Western novel. He looked down at
his stat sheets. He toggled the light
above him on and off, considering
an attempt at sleep after his teams
11-day West Coast stint.
Haunted by the last few hours
of the road trip, he did anything
but watch the footage of the nights
game.
I didnt wanna look at it and have
two nightmares, one in my brain and
one in front of my eyes, Williams
said Tuesday.
After beating its first three oppo-
nents by an average of over 22 points
to begin its trip, North Carolina
scored only 23 total points in the
first half in a 63-45 loss to Michigan
State.
The Spartans beat the Tar Heels
in historic fashion.
(We played) about as bad as any
team Ive ever had play, Williams
said. We set some records this
one. Weve been playing basketball
a long time around here. Jiminy
Christmas.
UNC had the worst shooting per-
formance in program history. The
Tar Heels shot a dismal 24.6 percent
from the field, and their only made
three pointer on 18 attempts came
from a desperation heave by senior
point guard Joel Berry II to end the
first half. Both their field-goal and
three-point percentages were UNC
record lows.
God almighty guys, Williams
said. 1-18, you make 1-18 with your
eyes closed sometimes.
To add insult to injury, people
who werent even in the game shot
a higher percentage than the Tar
Heels.
Didnt they have a fan that put
a blindfold on, and he made one at
the game when we were out there?
Williams said, looking to team
sports information director Steve
Kirschner.
Correct, Kirschner confirmed.
Beyond the initial shock, the loss
doesnt spell the end for the Tar
Heels. Williams and Berry both pro-

vided testimony that took some of
the sting out of the defeat.
Sophomore and junior year, I
mean weve had the same games,
Berry said. Last year we went to
Maui and came back and played
against Indiana and nothing could
go our way. But we learned from it,
and we got better from there.
Williams harkened back to 2012.
That year, a talent-rich North
Carolina team won the ACC regular-
season championship and earned a
No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
But that team lost at Florida
State by, anybody got it? Williams
said, quizzing reporters.
Thirty-three, he quickly added,
answering his own question. I wrote
that number 33 on our dry-erase
board and left it there the entire
season.
The team hopes to use the
Michigan State loss to a similar
effect: as motivation, but more
importantly, as a learning tool.
As players, I think that we
should look at the tape and see what
Michigan State did to us, Berry said.
And try to take that from them and
use that for ourselves when we play
other teams.
The Tar Heels will have to hope
these lessons sink in quickly. They
are in the midst of a stretch that will
see them play six games in 11 days,
including a home matchup against
Michigan on Wednesday night.
Williams spoke about the struggle
to get ready for the 6-1 Wolverines
right on the heels of returning home.
Id rather have some time,
Williams said. I mean you guys
are talking about Michigan tape, I
havent seen em play. You guys have
got more information than Ive got
youre saying how slow they play, I
dont know how the crap they play.
This will be the first meeting
between Williams and Michigan
head coach John Beilein, and the
first meeting between UNC and
Michigan since the 1993 national
title game, which UNC won.
However the Tar Heels respond
Wednesday, it is certain that lessons
from Sundays loss will be on their
mind. Berry emphasized this:
We have to be what Michigan
State was against us.

Nationalist
group chat
advertised
on campus

Staff Writer
Flyers reading Is it okay to
be white? Have an open con-
versation about race. Join the
Carolina Nationalist Discord.
were posted at several locations
around campus last week. They
advertised a chat room for stu-
dents to discuss sensitive racial
topics.
One flyer advertising the
group was posted in Ehringhaus
Residence Hall, and was taken
down shortly after.
The flyers in question were
not approved prior to being
posted, said Allan Blattner,
director of housing and resi-
dential education in a state-
ment regarding the flyer.
Additionally, only officially
recognized groups and organiza-
tions, which this group is not,
are permitted to post flyers or
other materials within the resi-
dential communities.
The flyers included tear-
off sections of a link, which
directed viewers to download
the Discord app, a text chat app
designed for communication
between gamers. Once the app
is opened, the user is imme-
diately granted access to the
CarolinaNationalists group
chat, which included 29 mem-
bers as of Tuesday evening.
A Daily Tar Heel reporter
joined the Discord in order to
learn about the nature of the
group chat and the subjects
being discussed in it. The quotes
are taken from conversations
between members.
The purpose of the group chat
is discussing race realism and
other dissident topics you cant
discuss in your anthropology
class, to quote one of the groups
members. Members of the group
are anonymous, and send messag-
es using a self-assigned username.
We discuss di(s)sident
intellectual subjects that are
beyond the overton window
in universities. Race realism,
identitarianism, white advocacy,
and the Jewish question, one
user messaged.
The identitarianism that
this user also mentioned is likely
related to a European and North
American white nationalist
movement that originated in
France, called the Gnration
Identitaire.
Members discussed other
topics such as immigration,
and what it means to be a white
nationalist.
If someone is a white
nationalist, all their reasoning
is invalid and facts arent true?
one user messaged.
The Discord mostly appears
to be an outlet for members
to approach racial taboos and
express opinions on race without
fear of being ostracized.
We set up this discord to dis-
cuss topics that are too taboo for
academia, one member said.
The group did not discuss
the use of violence or racial dis-
crimination, focusing mainly on
abstract topics.
It appears that the group will
continue to advertise their dis-
cussion forum around campus.
@everyone taking ideas
for our next poster campaign,
one user messaged on Monday
morning. Im thinking its going
to include a young woman in a
wheat field.

these cases is wrongdoing
while nuance should serve as
a guide when comparing the
accusations, all are untoward
and all seem anathema to the
virtues of a statesman.
But nuance is not omni-
present in fact, certain
unseemly outlets have tried to
malign the difficult work that
reputable sources have under-
taken over the course of these
investigations. Just Monday,
the Washington Post unveiled
a purported sting operation,
where a conservative advocacy
group called Project Veritas
seems to have coaxed the Post
into publishing salacious,
unfounded accusations against
Roy Moore. The operation
intended to undermine trust in
the paper, but in fact appears
to have bolstered their cred-
ibility.
While most of us do not see
the type of painstaking work
investigative reporters must
bear, we need to appreciate it.
It is far too easy to discount
claims that hurt our political
tribe while trumpeting those
which undermine our oppo-
nents. The issue at hand, polit-
ically, is less of the disgusting
revelations coming from our
leaders, but of their weapon-
ization by partisans.
Using dirt to undermine
opponents in elections is as
old as the United States, but
we see it creeping toward an
unconscionable point in recent
election cycles. I see no reason
to doubt the veracity of many
claims women have bravely
brought forward, but there
must be some metric.
I sense that the Washington
Post and other institutions do
indeed fact-check diligently,
and a lot of that work goes
unnoticed by the public.
With that in mind, it
is worth addressing what
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
said on Meet the Press last
Sunday. When pressed on
accusations against a party
elder, Rep. John Conyers from
Michigan, Pelosi said Conyers
deserves due process. Many
people, across both aisles,
exploded at her rhetoric. I
think Pelosi was correct, but
was, perhaps, the wrong mes-
senger.
As the number of allega-
tions swelled, and with a sort
of moral panic surround-
ing the events, it was easy to
assume that everyone accused
was guilty. So far, to my knowl-
edge, none of the major accu-
sations have been categorically
disproven. But, it is easy to see
where this could cross a line,
especially with bad actors, no
pun intended.
What Leader Pelosi suggest-
ed Sunday was correct, albeit
from someone apt to pursue a
political opportunity. It is sad
that we, as a whole, tend to
bolster our own and castigate
the other.
In the future, our candidates
for office will either be devoid
of morals, or beyond reproach.
We can only hope for the latter.

L
ast week, research-
ers at Illinois
NorthShore
University HealthSystem
reported a breakthrough
in concussion research:
chronic traumatic enceph-
alopathy, commonly
known to footballs fans
and critics alike as C.T.E.,
has been discovered in a
living person for the first
time.
The teams research
from four years ago indi-
cated that higher pres-
ences of a protein called
tau might precede C.T.E.,
but they could not confirm
their findings until last
week, when one of the
participants passed away
and was found to have the
disease.
The individual in ques-
tion was Fred McNeill,
who spent 12 years in the
NFL and a decade play-
ing football before that.
Simply put, we no longer
need to wait until a former
player has died to deter-
mine whether or not play-
ing professional football
has caused irreversible
damage to their brain.

Up to this point, C.T.E.
has always been detected
in individuals follow-
ing their death and long
after they ever could have
received the treatment
needed for brain injuries
of such magnitude.
NorthShores work has
the potential to shift the
conversation on football
and C.T.E. in a number of
ways. The discovery is a
critical first step toward
being able to monitor
C.T.E. in real-time, a pos-
sibility that would make
it all but impossible for
NFL teams to circumvent

dures. The less retroactive
these diagnoses become,
the sooner players suffer-
ing from the disease can
get the help they need in
dealing with symptoms
like depression, impulsive
behavior and memory loss.
The findings might
also spark a much needed
interest in the NFLs audi-
ence; viewers will find it
more difficult to distance
C.T.E. from the sport as
the causal relationship
becomes clearer.
While the likelihood
of experiencing C.T.E.

panied their careers war-
rants far more research
than is currently being

In 50 years, we may be
able to monitor C.T.E. in

whether or not they need

but for now, we should do
what we can to mitigate its
most severe effects.
Derek: Dear Editor,
Forgive my absence. Ive
been quite busy lately. And,
like my father always said,
when youre stressed about
something, worried about a
deadline, anxious that youre
flaking more than youre
delivering, follow the classic
three-step process. It is:

Or IED for short (note
that this is different than an
improvised explosive device
commonly found in tragically
war-torn areas of the globe).
Note this strategy works
incredibly well for areas
of life beyond that of a
world-renowned and well-
respected DTH satirist like
myself. But for times few
and far between when this
method fails, theres always
the natural supplement:
Deny, lie, counter-accuse
It sounds extreme.
Because it is. It sounds
aggressive. Because it is. But
when youre backed into a
corner, it may be the only
option.
So there you have it.
Thats why I havent been
around these past few
weeks. But a better question
their families.
Tuition waivers are
fundamental to the struc-
ture of many graduate
programs, and graduate
students never see the
money that transfers
hands through these
waivers.
Rather, the waivers
exist to allow graduate
student workers to make a
living with their stipends,
which are already subject
to taxation.
Many UNC-Chapel Hill
graduate student work-
ers earn the minimum
stipend, $15,700 over 9
months.
Minimum full-time
annual tuition for the
Department of Computer
Science is $9,943 for in-
state students.
If tuition becomes tax-
able, the life of a graduate
student becomes unaf-
fordable.
Under the proposed
new tax brackets, this pro-
vision alone would force
non-resident graduate
students to pay up to 30
percent of their income in
federal taxes.
Further, many campus
workers would also expe-
rience tax hikes over the
next decade.
Those earning under
$30,000 per year would
see tax increases by 2021
according to the nonpar-
tisan Joint Committee on
Taxation.
The GOP tax plan fur-
ther enriches the wealthy
at the expense of working
people and higher educa-
tion.
It disincentivizes the
enrollment of graduate
students, who perform
much of the teaching
labor on campus, and it
therefore endangers the
universitys ability to func-
tion.
It threatens UNC
research programs and
burdens campus workers.
Such a proposal is anti-
thetical to UNCs mission
as a public university in
service to the people and
as a provider of equal
opportunity.
We urge the University
community to defend its
graduate and campus
workers by calling on their
representatives to oppose
this tax proposal as it
enters Senate review.

press for social and finan-
cial change, by Karstens,
provided little to convince
change in higher learning
institutions.
The article appeared
more like a rendition of
problems graduate stu-
dents face.
The problems go
beyond students inability
unionize and advocate for
increased stipends.
College remains unaf-
fordable for both graduate
and undergraduate stu-
dents because the financial
aid system has no teeth
(Goldrick 2016, 17).
State appropriations
to fund higher education
have steadily declined
from 1981 which funded
$10.18 for every $1,000
spent to only $6.32 for
every $1,000 in 2010.
Further, living expenses
such as food and housing
have increased.
Many students, includ-
ing those who support
their families, turn to bor-
rowing private or parent
plus loans to fund necessi-
ties as they attend school
full-time.
Some attempt to work
part-time, which negative-
ly impacts their academic
performance and partici-
pation in school activities.
Yet, there is no guar-
antee the money spent on
education secures a job
with both benefits and
liveable income.
The American dream
of social mobility through
education remainsjust
thata dream for most of
us (Goldrick 2016).
The Center for
Community Capital (CCC)
is conducting research in
Durham to explore how
debt impacts students.
Their research will
inform stakeholder of
the looming and crucial
problems facing the higher
education system.
I encourage both under-
graduate and graduate
students to participate in
CCCs study and to call
their senators in protest of
the GOP tax plan, which
increase taxes and limit
students ability to receive
tax refunds.

By Jacquelyn Melinek
Staff Writer
Inside the glass doors and
under the orange and white
striped awning on Franklin
Street, theres a place with
pleather bar stools and
mustard-colored booths that
are older than many UNC
students and employees.
Signed retired jerseys hang
from the ceiling next to pho-
tographs of locals and celebri-
ties who dined there. History
is captured by photographed
moments at Suttons Drug
Store.
Owner John Woodard
started taking customers
pictures in 1983 and began
hanging them on the wall to
decorate the restaurant, while
also advertising the business
itself.
When we started hanging
pictures up on the wall, peo-
ple would come in for lunch,
and they started asking, How
do we get our picture on the
wall? Woodard said.
People started to come into
Suttons in crazy outfits and
Carolina gear, among other
outfits on special occasions to
pictures have been taken.
With 2,000 pictures on
display and 10,000 in stor-
age, there are a lot of photos
for Woodard and Pinney to
choose from.
The photos cover every
surface available in the store.
When the wall space began
to fill up, they hung poster
boards from the ceiling with
more pictures.
Unfortunately we arent
allowed to put up any more
pictures than we have because
the fire marshal limited us
because the photos are flam-
mable, he said. Thats why
we swap some out.
UNC Senior Paula Reyes
said she thinks its unique
idea for the restaurant to take
pictures of patrons that are
hung alongside notable previ-
ous students and basketball
players.

Tillis, Burr oppose Trumps EPA nomination

By Emma Boggess
Staff Writer
U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.,
and Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C.,
have expressed opposition toward
Michael Dourson, President Donald
Trumps nominee to oversee chemi-
cal safety for the Environmental
Protection Agency.
Trump announced the nomina-
tion in July, and the nomination
was confirmed by the U.S. Senate
Committee on Environment and
Public Works on Oct. 25. A Senate-
wide vote confirming Doursons
nomination has yet to be scheduled.
Dourson is a professor of toxicol-
ogy at the University of Cincinnati
and is currently working as a senior
advisor to EPA administrator Scott
Pruitt. Through his nonprofit,
Toxicology Excellence for Risk
Assessment, Dourson has published
numerous reports on safety limits
for hazardous chemicals.
The EPA published a press release
following Doursons nomination
citing letters from Doursons peers
praising his work. Among these
was Jay Goodman, a professor of
pharmacology and toxicology at
Michigan State University. In his
letter, Goodman said Doursons suc-
cessful career centered around
the risk-assessment of chemicals
and science-based safety makes
him the ideal candidate to head
the Office of Chemical Safety and
Pollution Prevention with the EPA.
It is without reservation that I
recommend Dr. Dourson to you with
my highest level of enthusiasm with
regard to his scientific and communi-
cation skills, and as an individual of
character and integrity, the letter said.
But not all responses to Doursons
nomination have been so positive
both Tillis and Burr released state-
ments opposing Dourson and pledg-
ing to vote no to his nomination.
Over the last several weeks, Sen.
Tillis has done his due diligence in
reviewing Mr. Doursons body of
work, said a statement from Tillis
office. Sen. Tillis still has serious
concerns about his record and can-
not support his nomination.
Pete Andrews, a UNC public
policy professor emeritus, said with
a history of water contamination
at Camp Lejeune, a North Carolina
military base, and current issues
with GenX in Wilmington water, it
makes sense for Tillis and Burr to
oppose Dourson.
I think theres a local tie-in with
North Carolinas experiences with
Dourson that would guide Tillis and
Burr in this case, Andrews said.
Senate Democrats and envi-
ronmental advocacy groups have
expressed concerns with Doursons
past commitment to industry and
his support for weaker regulatory
standards. Scott Faber, vice presi-
dent for government affairs with
the Environmental Working Group,
released a statement applauding
Tillis and Burr for their opposition
to Dourson.
No one who has spent decades
arguing on behalf of the chemical
industry for weaker safety standards
should be charged with reviewing
chemicals for the EPA, Faber said.
It would be like putting an arsonist
in charge of the fire department. DTH FILE/MARK PERRY

LGBTQ Center illuminates Exchange students face unique

intersex community challenges during academic breaks
By Jessica Swanson
Managing Editor
Being intersex isnt the
problem, but being persecuted
is.
That was the sentiment
expressed by the intersex
individuals in the documen-
tary Intersexion, which
the UNC LGBTQ Center
screened Nov. 27.
The documentary, which
was directed by Grant Lahood
and presented by Mani
Bruce Mitchell, was followed
by a discussion session led
by assistant director of the
LGBTQ Center, April Callis.
The documentary screening
was part of the UNC LGBTQ
Centers recognition of Intersex
Awareness Day. Because
Homecoming Week fell on
Oct. 26, the internationally
recognized Intersex Awareness
Day, the UNC LGBTQ Center
honored Intersex Awareness
Day on Nov. 27.
Mariel Eaves, administra-
tive support specialist at the
UNC LGBTQ center, said
the choice to honor Intersex
Awareness Day on a different
date was well-received and
allowed intersex awareness to
get the attention it deserves.
The decision was made
because there were no spots
in the Pit available during
Homecoming Week and we
wanted to be as visible with
intersex awareness as we
were with other identities this
year, Eaves said.
So far this semester,
the UNC LGBTQ Center
has held events in the
Pit for Bi Visibility Day,
National Coming Out Day,
Asexual Awareness Week
and Transgender Day of
Remembrance and Resilience.
For Intersex Awareness
Day, representatives from the
LGBTQ Center set up a table
draped with a rainbow flag in
the Pit where they advertised
the documentary event as
well as passing out intersex
pride buttons.
We want to make sure
that we are very visible for
this identity that sometimes
gets overlooked, Callis said.
In the Pit, people could
take pictures with the intersex
flag or color in intersex pride
coloring pages. There was also
a wheel of intersex trivia that
allies could spin for a chance
to win candy if they correctly
answered a question.
One trivia question asked
if intersex people were ever
marked so on their birth cer-
tificates. The answer used to
be no, but between last years
Intersex Awareness Day and
this years, a huge change
occurred now, intersex is
a choice on birth certificates in
California. Before, parents of
intersex children often chose
between male and female and
were told to raise their child
accordingly, as described in
the documentary.
The discussion session
that followed the screening
touched on media represen-
tation for intersex people,
which has largely been medi-
calized as in episodes of med-
ical dramas where intersex
individuals identities were
treated like disorders.
The conversation turned
to the legalities of performing
surgery on intersex children.
Malta and Portugal have both
banned surgery on intersex
children. The UN has declared
the surgery an act of torture.
In the U.S., the practice is still
legal and covered by insurance.
Intersex people in the docu-
mentary described the con-
stant medical attention, pain
and shame they encountered as
a result of these surgeries.
The documentary includes
the story of one intersex per-
son publishing an article in
a science journal to organize
the first worldwide meeting
of intersex people.
Today, the internet provides
much more access for intersex
people to connect with each
other and form a community.
Youre not going to nec-
essarily go look for a com-
munity if you dont know
that theres a community out
there, Callis said.
There is in fact a com-
munity out there for inter-
sex people, and events like
Intersex Awareness Day help
them to find it.

UNC now allows students to stay
on campus during some breaks.
By Suzanne Blake
Staff Writer
While the majority of students rush home
once fall, Thanksgiving and winter breaks
hit, exchange students often brave a class-
free Chapel Hill away from their homes and
families.
Whether due to the high cost of travel or
the immense inconvenience, international
students often do not have the option to go
home for the holidays.
This is the second year Carolina Housing
has allowed students to stay on campus dur-
ing both Thanksgiving and spring breaks.
Housing has also offered students placement
in Craige and Craige North along with hous-
ing in open UNC-owned apartments over
winter break.
When we made the decision to be open
for the breaks, we knew that that was just one
piece of what they would need in terms of
their ability to thrive during those break peri-
ods here in Chapel Hill, Carolina Housing
Director Allan Blattner said. If you dont
have a place to sleep, it doesnt matter where
you eat. It doesnt matter all those other
things. So it really is the first step and now
were just trying to build resources and lean
on the Chapel Hill community.
Trinity College Dublin exchange student
Dan ONeill did not expect many things when
he came to UNC this semester. He didnt
expect the differing social scene compared
to the many pubs and bars of his hometown,
the smaller classes at UNC, the high levels of
patriotism in the U.S. or how much he would
miss his home.
I feel like I know Dublin quite well,
ONeill said. I lived there pretty much my
whole life. I know the areas. I know lots of
people. Just being in an unfamiliar environ-
ment for a long period of time is probably the
hardest thing.
Homesickness strikes the hardest dur-
ing breaks for some students. Far away from
home, and without fellow students to interact
with, those left behind face a bleak and empty
campus.
Its like a ghost town, ONeill said. Its
very strange, especially because its so big
as well. Its much bigger than my campus at
home. It just feels completely empty.
Ed Thistlethwayte, an exchange student
from England, feels that the University strives
to present resources, but that more availabil-
ity of dining halls and Target-like stores dur-
ing breaks would be beneficial.
Student life is very based around the
campus in the U.S. or in Chapel Hill, whereas
back home the student life was based around
the city you were in, Thistlethwayte said. Its
more about what the University can do for
you here in terms of what they can provide, so
thats helpful.
Although staying open during winter break
proves difficult due to the week the University
completely shuts down, Blattner said Housing
is committed to improving the international
student experience or the experience of any
student who stays on campus during break.
Were looking at the winter break to see
if its feasible for us to stay open during that
period, Blattner said. We are interested in
making sure the whole experience is as hos-
pitable as it can be, and well continue to look
for ways to improve every year in doing that.

Q&A about diversity in tech A professor, a robot and the

Shaw University profes-
sor Lloyd Williams is trying
to bring diversity into com-
puter science an industry
thought to be disproportion-
ately dominated by white or
Asian-American men. Hes
doing so by bringing innova-
tion to the classroom at Shaw
University, a historically
black college in Raleigh. Staff
writer Ryan Smoot asked
Williams about how he is try-
ing to change perceptions of
programming.
The Daily Tar Heel: Can you
describe the current level of
diversity in the tech sector?
Professor Lloyd Williams: Its a
known problem in the tech
sector. Theres a Gallup poll
where they talked to people
about their perceptions
when they see computer
scientists in television and
movies, over 50 percent of
the time the respondents said
its a white guy with glasses.
Asians, I think was around
20 percent, and African-
Americans were in single
digits.
DTH: Why is the stereotype
predominantly white or Asian
men?
LW: Its very complicated,
knowing the exact answer. I
dont think its grounded in
fact I think if you look at
the composition of program-
mers in other countries, such
as China, youll see a lot of
female programmers that are
highly successful.
How we got here is a very
complicated question to
answer. These perceptions
lead to people having implicit
biases and making decisions
theyre not even aware theyre
making.
DTH: Without diversity, is it
going to be a challenge to fill
jobs?
LW: Its a terrible problem.
If we look at the population
demographics in this country,
if we dont diversify our tech
workforce, were going to very
rapidly not be competitive,
whether economically or in
terms of national security.
If were only drawing tech
careers from a small subset of
the population, were just not
going to be able to fill jobs. If
were excluding women, thats
half of our candidates.
DTH: What are you doing to
raise diversity in the com-
puter science sector?
LW: Im trying to change those
perceptions. Im trying to
put the word out about very
talented programmers whose
skills are world class, who
dont fit into that perception
people have they look dif-
future of journalism
ferent. I think the best way to
change someones perception
is to show them an excellent
programmer with world-class
skills who doesnt look like
what they would expect of a
programmer.
DTH: Is the stereotype of com-
puter science programmers
being geeks something you
want to embrace or move
away from?
LW: Both. I think if you look
at the dynamic now, its
changed. Weve undergone
societal shifts where a lot of
the most dynamic people in
our culture now are geeks.
You look at people like Elon
Musk theyre world-thought
and cultural leaders.
I think the whole mindset
has been turned on its head,
and were starting to celebrate
the culture. Geeky is not the
bad word it once was if you
look at popular culture, com-
ic-cons, our society is starting
to embrace that.
But also theres no way you
have to act or be in order to
be a successful programmer.

Q&A with Megan Miranda

New York Times best-sell-
ing author Megan Miranda
is coming to Flyleaf Books on
Tuesday for a book discus-
sion and signing of her newly
released novel, Fragments of
the Lost.
To get a feel for the book
and the event, staff writer
Olivia Clark had a conversa-
tion with Miranda to discuss
her novel, her career and
more.

Daily Tar Heel: Can you tell

me about your latest novel,
Fragments of the Lost?

Megan Miranda: Fragments

of the Lost is a mystery
about a girl who is trying to
uncover the truth about the
events surrounding her ex-
boyfriends death. Its told pri-
marily through found objects
as shes packing away his
room, so that each object kind
of launches a memory of their
past. The more she uncovers,
the more she begins to ques-
tion whether everything she
thought was the truth is actu-
ally a lie.
DTH: What themes are promi-
nent in this novel?
MM: One of the themes that
Im always drawn to in a lot
of my books is how well you
can know another person,
and I think thats something
that is very prominent in this,
as well. Theres different per-
spectives of the same events
and changing perspectives as
the book goes on.
DTH: Did any works inspire
you while writing this novel?
MM: Im really inspired by the
different ways stories are told.
Im really interested in sort
of what a structure reveals
about a story in television and
in movies and in books. The
movie 500 Days of Summer
was something that came to
mind as I was writing this
as not really a linear story. It
shows the different turning
points of a relationship, not
necessarily in order, and that
was something that inspired
this, as well. Fragments of
the Lost tells the rise and fall
Young adult author Megan Miranda spoke about her latest novel
Fragments of the Lost at Flyleaf Books.
of a relationship over the year.
But since its told in found
objects, its not necessarily
linear but it hits on those
main moments.
DTH: Where do you feel most
of your inspiration comes
from?
MM: I think a lot of things
come from just daily life,
things that sit with me for
a while or questions I have
or themes Ive been think-
ing about. With this novel in
particular, a few years ago Id
moved and Id gotten a stor-
age unit when I was showing
the house and we put some
boxes in it, and wed forgot-
ten about them for almost
a year. It was one of those
moments where I came back
to it and was reminded of sort
of the ability of these tan-
gible objects to launch really
vivid memories, and thats
something that really stuck
with me that I came back
to when I was coming up
with this idea. So Id say they
really come from everywhere.
Sometimes its character,
sometimes its structure and
sometimes its something tan-
PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRISTINE WATLEY
gible like that.
DTH: Do you have any future
books in the works?
MM: Im in the process of
revising my next two books.
Theyre at different stages
right now. I have another
young adult book that Ive
finished my first draft of,
and I have another book for
adults that Im in the process
of working on right now.
Neither has a title right now.
DTH: Did you always want to
be an author?
MM: I always loved writing
and reading I was always
a huge reader. But I didnt
know anybody who was an
author when I was growing
up, and I didnt really know
the path to becoming an
author. I also loved science,
so I went to school for science
and worked in biotech first.
Then I became a high school
science teacher, so technically
its my third career, but its
sort of a passion that Ive had
most of my life.

Growing Season
By: Marina Greenfeld
Wet dirt is creased into the lines
across her hands, and under nails
she never cuts. It finds its way
beneath her wedding ring, and trails
her wrists and palms, but all she sees
is what she holds up near her eye.
She smells the plant before she asks
it softly, kindly, not to die.
Her fingers lightly tear the roots
enough for growth, but nothing big.
She sets it then aside- requests
its time and patience- starts to dig.
Smudged dirt and sweat from folded rows
around her temples drip straight down
in cleaning streaks, then off her nose.
She waters freshly broken ground.
Marina Greenfeld is a sophomore majoring in English
and Slavic Languages. She has always had a readers
interest in poetry but has recently turned to writing it.

Allison said students can
avoid isolating their friends in
recovery by not making alcohol
the focus of social gatherings.
Especially if your friend is
in early recovery, make time for
them that doesnt involve sub-
stances and realize that they
might really feel apart from,
not a part of, Allison said.
Some students who return
to campus after beginning
recovery must face the tempta-
tions of places around campus
where they used to drink or do
parts of the rural buffer that
preserve the water shed should
be protected from develop-
ment, but believes the area
along Interstate-40 is a prime
area to expand the commercial
tax base, easing the emphasis
placed on property taxes.
This is where people who
travel, we want them to stop,
have dinner in our county, stay
in a hotel in our county, shop
at a store in our county, so we
get tax dollars, she said.
Goldman, who has been a
realtor in Chapel Hill since
1998, said the buffer has
factored in driving up hous-
ing prices by restricting the
amount of land available
for development. This has
particularly impacted young,
first-time home buyers who
may not be able to afford the
higher home prices.
While she supports sub-
sidized affordable housing,
which relies on funding to
keep homes within peoples
price ranges, Goldman said

Marcoplos disagreed and
said providing affordable
housing is independent from
the rural land buffer because
the town still has plenty of
land available.
Theres land that the
county, Chapel Hill and

the Greene Tract, which has
lots of room for affordable

Analysis: What to take

away from a 3-9 season
Most of UNC footballs
issues stemmed from
inconsistent offense.
By Chapel Fowler
Sports Editor

On Saturday, the worst

North Carolina football season
since 2006 came to an end in
Raleigh. UNC entered Carter-
Finley Stadium with 20 play-
ers out and left with a 33-21
loss and a final record of 3-9.
Chalk it up as a rebuild-
ing year, a total failure or just
plain bad luck. Regardless
of what the 2017 season is
remembered as just know it
wasnt a lost one. No season is.
Sure, the Tar Heels 12
games may have been a
constant source of frustra-
tion and what ifs. Still, they
offered plenty of takeaways
some positive and many a
source of concern for the
program moving forward.
First, the head coach. In
2017, Larry Fedoras team
finished with the fewest wins,
points per game (26) and
yards per game (369.6) in his
six-year tenure. Until a Nov. 9
win at Pittsburgh, he had lost
11 consecutive games against
Power Five teams.
But his seat isnt hot. Its
clear that both Fedora and
North Carolina which gave
him a seven-year contract
extension through 2022 in
late May are happy. Last
November, he chose not
address rumors that LSU
had contacted him about
replacing Les Miles. Fedora is
fifth in UNC history with 43
career victories, and he isnt
going anywhere soon.
On offense, the lack of an
established starter at quarter-
back did the team in. UNCs
best stretch of the season
came in its final four games
with Nathan Elliott at the
helm. After entering for an
injured Chazz Surratt on Oct.
28 against then-undefeated
Miami, he impressed in a
close 24-19 loss.
North Carolina wide receiver Beau Corrales (88) extends for a ball
against N.C. State on Nov. 25 in Raleigh. N.C. State won 33-21.
Elliott followed that up
by completing over 60 per-
cent of his passes in two
straight games, as North
Carolina snuck by Pittsburgh
and demolished Western
Carolina. In his third career
start, he threw for 277 yards
and three touchdowns against
rival N.C. State.
There is plenty to improve
upon Elliott threw a com-
bined five interceptions to the
Hurricanes and the Wolfpack
but the redshirt sophomore
should have the edge for the
starting job next season.
The close loss to Miami
arguably the best game
UNC played all season also
coincided with the official
emergence of the teams
most promising prospect on
offense.
Anthony Ratliff-Williams,
a former quarterback
and redshirt sophomore
wide receiver, had already
impressed in previous games:
a kick-return touchdown
against Louisville, 125
yards against Duke, scores
against Notre Dame and
Virginia Tech. But against
the Hurricanes, the coaching
staff decided to unleash him
DTH FILE/LEXI BAIRD
in full.
He completed two passes
for 55 yards and a touchdown
on trick plays that brought
the crowd into a frenzy. The
best game of his college
career followed, as he caught,
threw for and ran a kick back
for a score against Pittsburgh.
Ratliff-Williams ended up
leading UNC in receptions,
receiving yards and all-pur-
pose yards on the year.
A defense, which for the
first time under Fedora was
expected to be the stronger
unit than its counterpart,
finished 101st in the FBS with
436.1 yards allowed per game.
It allowed 525 total yards to
Lamar Jackson on Sept. 9
the most by a single player
against UNC in its history.
More times rather than not,
the defense would hold for a
half or three quarters before
eventually allowing a back-
breaking touchdown. The
offenses inconsistency played a
major role in that happening.
If North Carolina wants to
reach .500 next year, it starts
with scoring, scoring and
more scoring.
