Karl Rove, adviser to former President George W. Bush, speaks at Memorial Hall Monday. The event was sponsored by UNC College Republicans.
STUDENTS
WELCOME ROVE
Republican gets standing ovation before speech
by Lindsey Rietkerk
staff writer
A packed audience welcomed conserva-
tism to UNC’s blue campus Monday night,
highlighting the unpredictability of this year’s
political climate.
Karl Rove — known as the “architect” of
George W. Bush’s presidency and the master-
mind of modern conservative politics — spoke
Monday at Memorial Hall, harshly criticizing the
Democratic leadership in Washington and calling
for a new age in politics.
“Only in Washington can you get away with
spending the same dollar twice,” Rove said. “It’s
like magic. When it’s gone, it’s gone, but not
when you work for the federal government.”
UNC’s College Republicans paid Rove $15,000
in student fees to bring him to campus.
The venue, which holds 1,434 individuals, was
about 75 percent full, translating to about $14 in
student fees spent per audience member. Final
figures won’t be released until later this week.
Rove served as Bush’s deputy chief of staff and
senior adviser after serving as the chief strate-
gist for his presidential and gubernatorial cam-
paigns, earning a reputation as one of the tough-

Health
care
revenue
evolves
UNC exploring
new options
by jen serdetchnaia
assistant state and national editor
Until national health care leg-
islation provides more patients
access to insurance, UNC Hospitals
administrators are hoping to use
new revenue-generating tactics to
dig out of a financial hole.
Since January, the hospital has
lost $300 million in charity care,
non-collectible debts and partial
Medicare and Medicaid reimburse-
ments, a significant increase from
the $266 million they lost last year
for the same reasons.
“We have very generous finan-
cial assistance policies,” said
Karen McCall, vice president for
public affairs for the UNC School
of Medicine.
With the state subsidy for the
hospital at about $36 million,
it is up to the hospital to bridge
the funding gap by overcharg-
ing patients who have insurance,
said Dr. Bill Roper, dean of the
dth/Erin hull UNC School of Medicine and
chief executive officer of the UNC
Health Care System.
UNC Hospitals aims to serve all
patients regardless of whether or
not they have insurance — a model
that will not be sustainable in the
long run.
“We want to be in a place that is
true to our mission,” Roper said.
UNC is addressing the problem
from two ends — making the pro-
cess for those who can’t pay more
efficient, and trying to attract more
tion to the student fees, meaning that in total,
the event cost more than $15,000.

A special election will be held
today to fill seven empty seats in
Student Congress.
Students can log onto http://

After 17 years of silence, gay and
lesbian members of the U.S. Armed
Forces might be allowed to open up
about their sexuality.
The U.S. Senate could vote on the

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was enacted.
For a former UNC student, the

Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader

Students are only permitted to
vote for districts in which they
live.
Board of Elections Chairman
Andrew Phillips said he doesn’t
think any problems will arise
that could threaten the election’s
success.
But he said there has been a
lack of publicity for this election,
and that could hinder student
turnout.
“The Board of Elections was
actually just appointed last week
so that limits the amount of stuff
we’re able to do,” he said.
Students are asked to report
problems or send questions to
boe@unc.edu or call 962-VOTE.
UNC to test Alert Carolina
emergency sirens today
The University will test its
emergency sirens today between
noon and 1 p.m.
The sirens, which are part of
the Alert Carolina safety aware-
ness campaign, are likely to be
audible in on- and off-campus
locations, including downtown
Chapel Hill.
The test is intended to check
equipment and remind students,
professors and staff of what to do
in case of an emergency.
No action will be required dur-
ing the test. The sirens will sound
an alert tone along with a pre-
recorded public address message.
Upon completion of the test, a dif-
ferent tone and voice message will
signal, “All clear. Resume normal
activities.”
The University will also send texts
to about 46,000 cell phone numbers
which have been registered by stu-
dents, professors and staff through
an online campus directory. About
26,000 of those numbers belong to
students.
In normal instances, students
should seek shelter and close win-
dows and doors upon hearing the
sirens.
Campus Y to kick off year

The Campus Y is holding a rally
to kick off the year today on the
South Building lawn at 5 p.m.
The event will focus on the main
issues the organization will be

The policy, which bans openly

amendment to the National Defense
Authorization Act.
“We will finally send a loud

regardless of sexual orientation,”

Talk of store in
Chapel Hill
Although Carrboro has been
for Costco, the big-box retailer could
one day call Chapel Hill home.
With a population of more than
15-501, Chapel Hill could be a more
enticing option for the retailer, said
Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton.
With many locations around
the world, Costco is a membership
warehouse club that sells brand-
name products at low prices.
“They have standards for what
kind of locations they choose,
and most locations are on busy
highways with high-end consum-
ers driving on them,” Chilton
said, “Sites along 15-501 between
Chatham County and Durham are
what they are interested in.”
Chilton said representatives
from Costco decided that N.C. 54
in Carrboro didn’t get enough traf-
fic to justify building a new store.
N.C. Sen. Ellie Kinnaird,
D-Orange, led the campaign to
bring Costco to Orange County, but
the movement slowed earlier this
year after Costco found Carrboro an
unsuitable location.
While Chapel Hill may have more
potential, Kinnaird said she’s done
trying to gain support for the idea.
“I’ve done what I can,” Kinnaird
said. “I’m out of it. I can only bring
up the subject and hope that they’ll
carry through.”
C h a p e l Hi l l May o r Ma r k
Kleinschmidt said Costco has yet
to contact the town regarding the
possibility of building a store.
“We’re not in a place where they’re
knocking at our door asking to come
in right now,” Kleinschmidt said.
Kinnaird said even without her
efforts, Chapel Hill residents and
officials should lobby for the store.
She said a Costco would cre-
ate jobs, stimulate Chapel Hill’s
economy and alleviate the burden
on homeowners to generate the
majority of the town’s operating
revenue through property taxes.
“It would keep our money here,
keep our people from driving other
places, provide jobs and lower
taxes,” Kinnaird said.
Kleinschmidt said the key to

Sirens will
sound Sept. 21
The University will test the sirens and text messages
Tuesday, September 21 between noon and 1 PM.

No action is required since it's just a test. But you

need to know what to do in an actual emergency.

SIRENS SOUND ONLY IN A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY

• An armed and dangerous person is on or near campus.
• A major chemical spill or hazard has been reported.
• A tornado has been sighted.

WHAT TO DO
• Go inside immediately.
• Close windows and doors.
• Stay until further notice.

In an emergency, sirens will also broadcast short voice messages. When the
threat is over, the sirens will sound again with a different tone to announce:
“All clear. Resume normal activities.”

If the sirens sound, you’ll also receive an emergency text message if you
signed up. These are just two ways UNC communicates in an emergency.

Celebration of health

by JOHN HAMLIN
staff writer
About 50 people gathered at
the Varsity Theatre on Monday to
watch a live webcast celebrating
and planning for improvements in
public health.
The TEDxChapelHill event
and 81 other events in 40 coun-
tries showed TEDxChange, which
marked the 10-year anniversary of
the adoption of the United Nations’
goals for developing nations.
“There’s never been an event
quite like this ever held in the
world,” curator Chris Anderson
said in the webcast.
TED is a non-profit group that
began as a conference tasked with
bringing together innovators from
technology, entertainment and
design fields.
The organization has since
branched into TEDx events, local-
ly organized meetings designed to
spark discussion and spread ideas.
Melinda Gates, co-chairwom-

Inquiries into past financial

for O’Donnell’s campaign.

“We’ve made more progress in the
last 10 years than any other period
in history combined.”
Gates said Coca-Cola Co.’s glob-
al marketing strategies provide a
model for progress in public health.
The company has partnered with the
foundation on projects in the past.
She advocated the company’s use
of marketing techniques, real-time
data in decision making and work-
ing with local entrepreneurs who
understand their communities.
The webcast’s four speakers pre-
viously decided not to coordinate
topics.
“Each of the speakers brought
home that there’s something that
you as an individual can do to make
a difference,” said IntraHealth
International Inc. director Laura
Hoemeke.
IntraHealth, which was founded
in 1979 and has worked in over 90
countries, hosted the event.
The organization, which works
to ensure access to informed health
providers, grew out of a UNC School

split off from the college in 2003.

But court officials said she

Chapel Hill resident Janet

Perry Tsai
Sexual Health Columnist
Second year medical student from
New Orleans, LA.
E-mail: perrytsai@gmail.com
Can you
really have
love at
first sex?
I
’ll admit it. I’ve had sex on
the first date.
Actually, I’ve had sex
before the first date, or any dates
for that matter.
Ok, I agree it’s not terribly
earth-shattering. A lot of people
enjoy casual, non-romantic sex,
but I get the same question over
and over: “Don’t you want a
boyfriend?” to which I respond
with a firm and decidedly non-
desperate “Yeah. Sure.”
Of course I want to find love.
Of course I enjoy casual sex. But
are the two mutually exclusive?
Can a person really find “the
one” among the one-night stands?
Well, fret not, strumpets and
jezebels, science has come to save
the day. Anthony Paik, sociology
researcher at the University of
Iowa, took on this exact question
in last month’s issue of Social
Science Research.
Using the responses of 642
adults in the Chicago Health and
Social Life Survey, Paik assessed
their relationship quality with
their partners. Then he com-
pared it with the relationship
context in which they and their
partners first started having sex.
Let’s start with the bad news.
People who became sexually
involved earlier in a non-roman-
tic context (hookups, friends with
benefits, casual dating) tended to
report a lower relationship qual-
ity than those who waited.
But here’s the good news.
This finding could be completely
explained by selection, not causa-
tion. People who don’t want a
serious relationship are more like-
ly to hook up, and if you factored
them out, there was no significant
difference in relationship quality.
In other words, partners who
start off hooking up can have
relationships just as strong as
partners who delay having sex.
They just have to want it.
It sounds improbable, but
not implausible. For example, a
couple of years ago, I met a man
we’ll call “Juan” for casual sex,
but something about him drew
me in. I wanted to see him again,
and so I asked him out.
We ended up having a suc-
cessful and loving relationship.
Nevertheless, my experience feels
more like an exception than the
rule. Was Juan just a fluke? Not
according to Paik.
Now, I’m not proposing that
everyone should be having casual
sex with each other, as titillating
as that sounds. There are benefits
to waiting, and casual intimacy
simply doesn’t work for everyone.
But let’s stop assuming that
casual sexual encounters can’t
grow into something more. Let’s
open ourselves up to the possibil-
ity that people who hook up might
also want to take that next step.
As Kathleen Bogle of La Salle
University observed on college
campuses, a “hook up” can lead
to “hook ups,” then “hanging out,”
and eventually the elusive, exclu-
sive “going out.”
As always with sex, you should
be smart and stay safe. Also, you
should be clear about what you
want. Those same selection factors
can make it seem like you don’t
want a serious relationship, or
attract others who don’t want one.
Finally, I should point out that
the study only looked at hetero-
sexual adults, as there weren’t
enough same-gender partners
in the survey. So this conclusion
may not apply to LGBTQ rela-
tionships like mine.
Even so, this still gives me
hope. I can find another Juan,
and maybe next time he’ll be the
Juan.

Searching for syllabi
Fayetteville State’s posting of course syllabi is a
model of transparency for the whole system
W
e might like to think
that UNC-Chapel
Hill is the best in the
UNC system, but in course con-
tent information, Fayetteville
State University has us beat
big time. There, instructors in
each department are required
to post course syllabi online
long before registration.
According to the John
William Pope Center for Higher
Education Policy, Fayetteville
State is the only state school in
North Carolina with a manda-
tory policy.
UNC-Chapel Hill should be
more transparent about course
content. The short class descrip-
tions that show up in the under-
graduate bulletin are not enough
to give students the information
they need to make a good deci-
sion about what classes to take.
Short course descriptions
simply can’t do a professor —

Students efforts to expand
how victims can report
sexual assault is an important
and laudable step toward com-
batting sexual violence at UNC.
The new method — report
collection through boxes in
bathrooms — is particularly
useful because the method of
reporting is both non-invasive
and entirely within the control
of the victim.
The percentage of assaults
that go unreported is oft-
repeated but nonetheless
alarming: National averages
indicate that, in proportion to
our student body, about 500
sexual assaults likely occurred
here last year. Yet much fewer
were reported to law enforce-
ment or the University — only
30 were reported to the Office
Hungry for competition
Restrictions on food trucks need relaxing
O
n Wednesday, Sept.
15th, the Chapel Hill
Town Council received
a petition calling for food
trucks to be allowed to vend
within city limits. The coun-
cil moved to send the petition
to their staff, so that it can be
researched and brought up in
a future meeting.
The council should seriously
analyze this petition and not let
it go unaddressed.
Food trucks (or itinerant
merchants) are not banned in
Chapel Hill . But they are over-
ly regulated. The petition calls
for the release of what has been
effectively a ban.
The council should not lift its
regulations completely. Instead,
it should consider the possibility
of allowing a few more trucks to

and his or her interpretation of
the material — justice. Different
professors, teaching the same
class, can emphasize different
things and offer completely dif-
ferent learning experiences.
Contrast the experience of
searching the Undergraduate
Bulletin with what hap-
pens when students land on
Fayeteville State’s departmental
websites. There is a conspicuous
link labeled “Syllabi,” where stu-
dent can see PDF files of every
syllabus in that department.
Even better would be to copy
Texas in this regard, where the
state legislature mandated that
all state institutions of higher
education post syllabi online.
If students here could see
syllabi before registration, they
would be more likely to find
classes that are a good fit, and
less likely to go through the
hassle of dropping and adding
of the Dean of Students.
Sexual assault is harder to
address than other crimes given
how rarely it is reported. This
problem is often compounded
by confusion on the victim’s
part about whether or not what
happened was, in fact, rape.
Because of this murkiness,
any information that can be
collected should be, by what-
ever means are most effective.
Bathroom boxes allow vic-
tims to complete the reports
whenever they choose in a
private yet familiar location.
Furthermore, victims share as
many or as few details about
the incident as they want.
Most importantly, they also
have the option of anonymity.
If nothing else, these boxes
offer a small way for victims of
sexual assault to address what
vend in Chapel Hill.
The present policy, according
to Chapel Hill’s spokeswoman
Catherine Lazorko, is due to
the problems that food trucks
create. These problems include
trash, health and public safety,
parking, signage, lighting, taxes
and economic impacts on brick-
and-mortar restaurants.
Food trucks may cause some
of these, but under the current
restrictions, it’s impossible to
know for sure.
While we understand the
town’s concerns, we believe
that allowing a few more trucks
would not create significant
problems and would likely
provide more cheap eating
options for students and town
folks alike.

the semester.
The issue has financial con-
siderations as well as academic.
Textbooks are expensive, and a
little advance notice would be
much appreciated, especially
since many professors take
their time listing required texts
with Student Stores.
Students need to know if they
will be expected to purchase six
first edition text books. It would
be better to find out before you
register for a class that you can’t
afford to take it.
The University needs to give
students better access to this
information. Professors have
syllabi already, and we should
be able to see them sooner.
If we could view syl-
labi before registration, we
could make better and more

cial decisions.
happened to them by putting
it on paper and thus begin the
process of coping.
Finally, no legal or disciplin-
ary action can be taken against
the alleged offender without
the consent of the accuser,
ruling out the possibility that
people will abuse the anonym-
ity of the new method.
This combination of privacy,
comfort and control is condu-
cive to sharing information,
and in the case of sexual assault,
information is power. The Dean
of Students will now be able to
get both a better picture of the
frequency of incidents as well as
valuable details about the crime,
and the attacker’s methods. All
of this will contribute to the
ultimate purpose of preventing
sexual violence through educa-
tion, support, and awareness.
recent meeting, council mem-
ber Ed Harrison suggested that
the council look further into the
town’s policies. If the unofficial
ban isn’t lifted, Councilman
Harrison suggested it would be
helpful to provide guidelines for
obtaining a vending license.
Considering there is a way
to obtain a food truck license
— it is just very difficult right
now — suggestions such as
Harrison’s are very welcome.
If the council does not com-
pletely relax regulations, they
can at least move to clarify the
present policies. Food trucks
are a newer fad in the restau-
rant world, as Chamber of
Commerce president Aaron
Nelson recently said. And
Chapel Hill should look into
opening up for them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Judge artists based on
their art, not their past
TO THE EDITOR:
An artist’s work should be
judged independently of an art-
ist’s life. Of course, we may look at
their life as a source of inspiration
for their art but to disregard the
artist on behalf of the artist’s life
is narrow.
The comparative literature
department put on the Roman
Polanski series because of his artis-
tic relevance. Yes, Roman Polanski
the man is a pretty messed-up guy
— he survived Nazi ghettos, made
fascinating suspense movies, mar-
ried a future victim of the Manson
family, raped a young girl, fled the
country and now continues to
make movies.
Roman Polanski is a human
being with terrible flaws who
does deserve to be punished.
But great art does not always
come from great people. Editorial
board member Sam Jacobson
opposes the exhibition at the
Varsity because it gives Roman
Polanski a pedestal to speak from.
Chinatown does not advocate
sexual violence. In fact, a major
plot point involves the repercus-
sions of incestuous rape.
To sum up, Roman Polanski is
a bad person, but a good artist.

event.
Last week, UNC honored the
first three African-American
undergraduates at UNC-CH,
LeRoy Frasier, John Brandon and
Ralph Frasier. At the recognition
banquet, Rev. Barber challenged
everyone in the room to join what
he called “the mighty stream of
justice” exemplified by the three
men’s brave decision to integrate
our University. He also reminded
us of some of the University’s his-
tory with slavery, KKK founders
and white supremacy campaigns
of the late 1800s.
However, UNC-Chapel Hill
has certainly been at the fore-
front of addressing the major
social justice issues of our day
as well as embracing free speech
and the exchange of ideas. This
is an incredible opportunity to
embrace your First Amendment

for all, and I encourage you to
attend this and next week’s First

TO THE EDITOR:
Democrats. Independents.
Rational Republicans. Lend me
your ears.
Did you vote for Barack Obama
in 2008? Good for you. But the
president doesn’t act alone. He
needs a Democratic congress to
pass his progressive programs
— improved health care reform,
cleaning up the nation’s financial
and budget mess, and stimulat-
ing the economy to create jobs.
With the Republican leadership
obstructing Democratic propos-
als (and some of their own “bipar-
tisan” ideas) at every turn, it’s an
uphill battle. Did you really think
the Bush/Cheney/GOP disaster
could be fixed in just two years?
For Obama to succeed, you
must vote on Nov. 2 to put more
Democrats in the House and
Senate (and in state offices as
well). The Republican Tea Partiers,
inspired by the likes of Palin, Beck
and Limbaugh, think they have
a chance to win control of both
houses this year, which could
endanger programs like federal
student aid and grandma’s Social
Security and Medicare. Only you
can prove them wrong.
If you are not registered to
vote, register now. If you are
going to need an absentee ballot,
order it now. Urge your friends to
register and vote, too.
Inform yourself. Politicians
and parties aren’t perfect, but
they do present definite choices.
