Tight end Pianalto out for season New plan

Plan’s cost likely to
stay constant next year
by jen serdetchnaia
assistant state & national editor
Because so many students chose the new
insurance plan offered by the UNC system, the
cost of the plan is likely to stay constant.
At the end of the process to appeal the auto-
matic Pearce & Pearce coverage last Thursday,
7,041 students at UNC-CH were enrolled —
about 26 percent, said Dr. Mary Covington,
executive director for UNC Campus Health
Services.
The University had guessed about 10
percent of the campus might be uninsured,
Covington said.
“But it seems a lot of people chose to get on
the policy,” she said.
The enrollment rate across the whole sys-
tem was not a surprise, system administrators
said.
Across the UNC system, 55,118 signed up
for the Pearce & Pearce insurance plan, which
is about 29 percent.
“The number of students who ultimately
enrolled was consistent with expectations,”
said Joni Worthington, spokeswoman for the
UNC system.
If not enough students had signed up for
the $361.50-a-semester plan, Pearce & Pearce
and not the UNC system would have lost
money.
Based on the initial enrollment numbers,
this should not be a problem, Covington
said.
“We went into this with no expecta-
tions because we’ve never done this before,”
Covington said.
If the number of students enrolled had

fallen short, it would have been up to Pearce
& Pearce to adjust the costs and raise the pre-
miums for next year to make up for the lost

MUSIC OF THEIR OWN

Composition courses at UNC intimate and successful
by Atar Stav
staff writer
Trinity Velez can imagine herself actually going to
Hollywood from here.
“I feel like I’m on the right track now that I trans-
ferred to UNC,” said Velez, who transferred from the
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia after her
freshman year. Velez said she hopes to write music
for film scores.
She is one of few students studying composition
at the UNC Music Department. For many of these
student composers, writing music comes naturally.
“I wrote a song when I was in elementary school,”
junior Ben Boecker said. “It was a piece for piano
called ‘Swan’.”
Like Boecker, many student composers have had a
passion for writing since childhood. But it wasn’t until
studying at UNC that their innovation flourished.
The inspiration can be sudden. Alex Van Gils, a 2010
UNC graduate, remembers a time he procrastinated.
While writing a musical fanfare celebrating the
opening of the Kenan Music Building with fellow
composers at the University during his junior year,
Van Gils had not found the time to fully develop his
contribution.
“That night, I had a dream of a chord,” he said.
Such unexpected inspiration only hints at Van
Gils’ — and a core group of UNC composers’ — dedi-
cation to music composition.
“The first (composition) class was huge for me,”
Van Gils said. “It showed me composers I never heard
of and techniques I never thought of before. It gave
me a level of detail my music had not had yet.”
Boecker said he also found new inspiration from
his composition classes.
“It is making something beautiful out of tools you
would not normally use,” said Boecker.
Throughout their college career, the composers
slowly build their own musical portfolio.
Each semester, they are encouraged to step out of
their comfort zones, which often forces them to write
for instruments they are unfamiliar with.
Not all of the students in the program intend to
write music professionally.
“(The classes) really showed me what it means to
be a composer in this day and age,” senior Jimmy
Kylstra said.
While the futures for the composers vary, all said
that they appreciate the skills, experiences and relation-
ships they have gained from the intimate program.
“I wanted to be a professional composer, but that’s
not an easy thing to do,” Kylstra said. The senior said
that he plans to apply to law school.
And though some former students like Van Gils
are still looking for work, the program is more about
artistic development than quick job placement.
“I have started trying to think of myself as a profes-
sional composer,” said Van Gils. He is in the process
of applying to graduate schools for composition.
Allen Anderson, a professor of music composition in
the UNC Music Department, is also an integral part of

money, she said.
“The financial relationship is solely between
Pearce & Pearce and covered individuals,”
Worthington said.
“The university does not pay into the health
insurance plan and receives no financial remu-
neration from it.”
There is no way to know how many of the
enrolled students actually wanted the cover-
age compared to how many just didn’t get the
message to opt out, Covington said.
“No way to get out now,” she said.
Although the timing of the system-wide
insurance coincides with national health care
reform, Covington said the systemwide plan
has been in the works for years.
“The timing is suspect,” she said. “But we
just happened to coincide with Obama.”
The process started two and a half years
ago and has included several steps, includ-
ing going through the UNC-system Board of
Governors, she said.
And the process has yet to be completed.
The insurance policy will continue to develop
as administrators get more feedback from

Committee votes to end Blackboard use at UNC by 2014

Sakai learning management system will be more cost-e≠ective, e∞cient
by Caroline Corrigan
staff writer
By fall 2014, Blackboard at UNC will be a thing of the past.
The Information Technology Executive Steering Committee passed
a motion Monday to begin a three-year transition from Blackboard to
Sakai as UNC’s learning management system, starting next year.
The Sakai Pilot Study at UNC began in fall 2008 with 18 courses. This
fall it has grown to 81 courses with 120 sections.
Jeffrey Pomerantz, a professor in the School of Information and
Library Science, said Sakai has several advantages that make it a quali-
fied replacement.
“Sakai and Blackboard are functionally very equivalent,” he said.
“Sakai makes it easier to create subgroups in a course, and tests and
quizzes are easier to manage.”
Sakai’s cost also gives it a significant advantage.
According to the study, the current cost to support Blackboard on
campus is approximately $620,000 per year. This fee does not include
failover and disaster recovery capabilities, which would require a one-
time upgrade of $250,000 plus $100,000 annually.
Sakai is estimated to cost $332,000 per year. Unlike Blackboard,
Sakai is open-source and carries no licensing costs.
These differences will allow site administrators to tailor Sakai more to
their individual needs, committee members said during the meeting.
Some administrators said they weren’t pleased with Blackboard’s cus-
tomer service.
“Blackboard typically sends out representatives to talk about upgrades,”
said Charles Green, the assistant vice chancellor for teaching and learn-
ing at ITS. “But we typically don’t see our feedback reflected in the fol-
lowing version. Our customer service relations with Blackboard have
not been stellar.”
He added that the switch will allow teachers to learn to use technology
more effectively in the classroom.
“This is probably the best opportunity we’ve had in a decade to actu-
ally engage faculty and talk to them about using technology in their
teaching,” he said.
Max Beckman-Harned, student government’s technology and web
services committee co-chairman, said he believes Sakai will offer stu-
dents more opportunities than Blackboard.
“We can only use Blackboard for academic courses because of license
fees,” he said. “With Sakai, it might be possible for student groups to get
Sakai sites for their own purposes.”
Sophomore Matt Adam-Houser said he has used both programs and
is more inclined toward Sakai.
“I prefer Sakai because it seems more intuitive,” he said. “Blackboard
has problems with submitting things. That never happens with
Sakai.”

Students say they will miss economics professor
By Alex Barinka
Staff writer
On the steps of Gardner Hall, students
chat with economics professor Ralph Byrns,
who is perched on the concrete wall.
It’s a scene that has become common over
the years, but this will be the last year he
watches the leaves change from his spot in
Chapel Hill.
In June, Byrns and his wife, Patricia,
plan to move to the Phoenix, Ariz., area to
be closer to family members because she has
become ill.
Many in the University community have
said he will be missed.
“He has been one of our most valuable
faculty members,” said economics professor
and former Department Chair John Akin.
“I think a lot of students will remember him
when he is gone.”
Byrns said he has grown especially fond
of UNC, compared to other universities at
which he has taught.
“I love the students here,” he said. “I love
what I’m doing. I think I’ve got one of the
world’s best jobs.
“This sounds odd for an economist, but I
am more concerned about the welfare of my
students than about my own welfare,” Byrns
added. “Students are young and have lots of
things ahead of them.”
Having taught a variety of courses at the
University since 2001, Byrns said he has
always emphasized to students the impor-
tance of prioritizing goals.
“I don’t think it is your major that mat-
ters. It’s about what you can do with who you
are,” he said. “But the critical thing is you
have to pick one. Do something, it doesn’t
matter what, just do it.”
Senior Class President Liz Deane, an eco-
nomics and peace, war and defense double
major, had Byrns for the honors section of
ECON 101 her fall semester as a freshman.
“I wasn’t even thinking about majoring in
economics, but he was so enthusiastic about
the subject that I just wanted to learn more,”
she said. “I have never had a class where the
professor cared so much about the subject.
“Byrns had a flair for making the number-
filled study of economics into things that
really mattered to students,” she added.
At the Wednesday meeting of

dents expressed interest in two of

Transit survey finds riders satisfied

by Dominique Moore
staff writer
Every day, Mario Alston, a cook
for Carolina Dining Services, takes
the NU to get to work at Ram’s
Head Dining Hall.
The bus is his main means of
transportation.
“This is a good service, it’s free
for us,” said Alston, who has been
living in the area for 27 years and
riding the bus for 14.
“If you do drive, you have to pay
for parking,” he said. “Riding the
bus saves money.”
A recent survey showed that
most Chapel Hill Transit users echo
Alston’s sentiment. Of 1,675 ran-
domly sampled riders, 88 percent
rated the overall quality of transit
service as excellent or good.
Eighty-six percent of 418 residents
surveyed by phone also expressed
satisfaction with the service.
Assistant transit director Brian
Litchfield said the department needs
to take the results and develop service
proposals with system partners.
Updates from previous surveys
include increased service along
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
and extending services to Pittsboro.
While there is no specific time-
line for implementing suggested
improvements, Litchfield said the
department will determine priori-
ties and develop a three-to-four-
year plan for updates.
The department faces one major
obstacle: funding.
The total transit budget for 2010
to 2011 is about $17.5 million, with
top expenditures being employee
payment and fuel. The department
has seen significantly decreased
fuel costs as a result of a contract
for the past three years.
But money to increase services
is still needed.
Results from the May survey of
riders and residents revealed that
riders value the system’s safety, stop
frequency, cleanliness and polite
and knowledgeable drivers.
Surveyed Chapel Hill residents
said their primary reasons for not
using the bus system include limited
weekend hours and a lack of early
morning and late night services.
The system - which consists of
194 employees, 121 vehicles and 33
routes - serves Chapel Hill, UNC,
Carrboro and Pittsboro.
“We are very pleased with the
results of the survey,” Litchfield
said. “Both the resident and rider
(surveys) show Chapel Hill Transit
provides a valuable service not only
to customers but a valuable service
to the community.”
Bus operator Anthony Klein start-
ed driving for Chapel Hill Transit a
year ago after working for New York
City transit system for 10 years.
Klein said the system is hard-
pressed for improvements like new
buses and more weekend services.
With these, Klein said Chapel Hill
Transit could rival bigger systems.
“With the amount of routes we
have and the service we provide, we
can compete with bigger cities,” he
said. “We try to give better services,
but there is no money.”

Newhope church expands to 1,000
Named 10th fastest-growing in US
by Jo Nixon
staff writer
Nine years ago, Benji Kelley and
his family started a worship service
in their Chapel Hill home.
Even when he had five members
in attendance, Kelley had big hopes
for expansion.
“It was just my wife and my three
kids,” he said. “From there, we start-

and serving the community.”
Newhope church has since
grown to more than 1,000 con-
gregation members and has two
locations in Durham and Garner
and an “iCampus,” available on the
church’s website.
Newhope’s growing numbers have
drawn the attention of Outreach
Magazine, which recently listed
newhope as the 10th fastest-grow-
ing church in the U.S. and number
one in percentage increase.
Director of Marketing Emily
Barahona said she has only been
there since March but has seen the
church grow extensively since then.

“We’re out of space,” Kelley said.
“We’re beginning this process of

Kelley said the church offers a

draw in more members.
“We stay really, really focused,”
he said. “We have a children’s min-

Congregation member Dave

Knight brings New Zealand style
by Seth Crawford
staff writer
There is an old saying in New
Zealand: You get a rugby ball when
you’re 1, a pair of boots when you’re
2, learn to pass when you’re 3 — and
you’re on the field when you’re 4.
That passion for rugby has
extended beyond New Zealand for
senior Craig Knight.
Seven years after taking his
first steps on a rugby field, Knight
moved to Australia with his sport
in tow. And since his freshman year
of college, Knight has shared that
passion with UNC and other col-
leges throughout the country.
Knight, the recruiting co-chair-
man of the UNC Rugby Club,
decided to come to UNC after a
friend of his in Australia started
looking at American universities.
“I wanted to experience more
than what Australia had to offer,”
Knight said. “I just wanted to come

to show off some skill, but it’s not
really like a show-off position.”
UNC Rugby Club President
Jacob Rierson said Knight is one
of the stockier and more physical
players on the team.
“He’s sort of like the basis off which
our offense goes,” Rierson said.
Despite Knight’s rough posi-
tion on the field, Rierson said that
Knight, who often peppers his con-
versations with “mate” and “cheers,”
keeps tensions light on the sideline
and is always quick to make a joke.
Rierson added that he thinks
Knight exploits his fun-loving
New Zealand accent to pick up
girls. Though Knight denies that
claim, he admits that the accent
does come in handy.
“It’s a good mechanism to initi-
ate conversation,” Knight said.

Rugby News’ D-I rankings.
With the end of his college career
in sight, Knight said he is looking to
lead the UNC rugby team toward a
championship in the new Atlantic
Coast Rugby League. The winner
of the league gets an automatic bid
for the national championship.
“We want to be the winners of the
ACRL,” Knight said. “We would love
to be top five by the time we’ve left.”
Though his time at UNC is
nearly finished, Knight said he
hopes his stay in America has only
just begun. Next year he is going to
either enroll as a graduate student
in the UNC School of Education or
go into editing or screen writing.
“I’d also love to continue to play
rugby,” Knight said. “Once you’ve
been amongst it for so long, it’s hard
to withdraw from that culture.”

“Wheelie Bob,” by Dan Brawley and Dixon Stetler, is made of steel, electrical cord, wheels and smashed car
bits. Scrapel Hill is a juried competition and exhibition focused on artwork created from scrap materials.
Scrapel Hill contest lets
artists give trash a new life
Kristina Weeks
staff writer
Scrap metal isn’t junk.
It can be an animal, a fountain
— anything that sparks the artist’s
imagination.
And throughout Chapel Hill’s
University Mall, artists from
around North Carolina have
transformed piles of garbage into
recycled sculptures as part of the
second annual Scrapel Hill Art
Competition and Exhibition, which
opened to the public Monday.
Scrapel Hill is a part of University
Mall’s attempts to rebrand its image
and attract new customers.
“We’re in the middle of redevelop-
ment,” said Kelly Canfield, director
of marketing for University Mall.
“We’re trying to create a vibrant
cultural arts center here that cen-
ters around performing, visual and
really all kinds of art.”
Deep Dish Theater Company
— a regionally renowned indepen-
dent theater troupe — and several
small art galleries have already set
up shop in the mall.
But the sculptures that make
up Scrapel Hill aren’t perma-
nent. Artwork from 21 artists from
Asheville to Wilmington lines the
public areas of the mall and will be
on display through mid-November.
The exhibition, which was intro-
duced in spring 2009, was imple-
mented in part to bring a greater
artistic and cultural influence into
University Mall.
The exhibition introduces
environmentally friendly con-
cepts to the community, said Ed
Camp, executive director for the
ArtsCenter in Carrboro.
“We wanted to do something that
linked with the arts community but
also had a different twist with a
green bent to it,” Camp said about
last year’s exhibit in an e-mail.
“The idea of having artists create
art from items typically thrown away
seemed to link the two concepts.”
A panel of judges from the mall,
the wider community and the
larger art world will critique each
piece on display and announce the
winner at the competition’s Oct. 28
reception and awards ceremony.
First, second and third place
winners will receive monetary priz-
es of $2,500, $1,500 and $1,000
respectively. Artists also have the
chance to win the People’s Choice
Award, with a prize of $500.
This year, the exhibition will
bring in nationally acclaimed art-
ist Nancy Judd of Santa Fe, N.M.
to serve on the jury board.
Judd, the founder of Recycle
Runway, creates clothing from
recycled material.
Judd will also host classes focus-
ing on creating recycled garments.
Participants will have the chance to
help her in creating a high-fashion
piece out of bicycle and car tires.
“It’s a cool idea, taking things
you would normally recycle and
throw in the trash and creating
something artistic and imaginative

There is
honor in
being
college poor
M
any adults look back
fondly on their college
days as the best four
years of their life.
The years spent in college are
supposed to be the foundation
for the rest of our lives. College
is a rite of passage into the real
world.
The college “experience”
varies by school, but there are
some aspects that are consis-
tent among them all. Classes,
obscene prices for books, late-
night food, parties and the
catch-all excuse, “I’m poor. I’m
a college student,” to name a
few.
Collectively, these make up
the “experience” that all post-
graduates nostalgically remem-
ber. The absence of one of these
elements is detrimental to the
“experience.”
My mom and I talk pretty
regularly and in each conver-
sation, she usually asks some
standard “mom” questions. In
a recent phone call, she asked
what I was having for dinner
on a regular basis. I told her it
was usually some combination
of frozen meals, eggs, chicken
or pasta.
A few disapproving seconds
later, she asked me when I was
finally going to learn to cook
well-balanced meals for myself.
I told her that my meals were
still “age-appropriate.” My frozen
Stouffer’s dinner is acceptable
given my age and occupation as a
poor college student.
A lot of students seem to be
ashamed to be “college poor,”
but I think we should embrace it
and wear our “college poor-ness”
as a badge of honor. Being poor
in college is one of those rites of
passage that enhances the college
experience.
Regardless of everyone’s family
background, the majority of stu-
dents would consider themselves
“college poor.” Whether you’re
trying to make summer’s pay-
check last an entire year or you’re
toiling away at a part-time job,
making just more than minimum
wage, most of us don’t have extra
cash.
The University and local busi-
nesses understand the struggles
of being “college poor.” Ignoring
the health consequences, it never
ceases to amaze me that I can get
a box of Pokey Stix the width of
my door for $9 on Thursdays.
But Chapel Hill caters to more
than just late-night binge eaters.
By simply having your One Card,
you are automatically eligible for
a ton of free stuff, from football
and basketball games, to mov-
ies at the Union, to discounted
shows at Memorial Hall.
Most college students are rela-
tively insulated from the financial
perils of the real world. Living
independently for the first time,
it’s good to learn the value of
money in a safe environment.
We’re protected by meal plans,
Flex money and most of the time,
mom and dad are just a phone
call away.
Living “college poor” teaches
us not to live beyond our means.
We’re lucky to live in a college
town accustomed to the lifestyles
and account balances of college
students.
Chapel Hill is the perfect tran-
sition for living with our parents
to truly living on our own. We
should take advantage of all the
discounts available to us.
Living “college poor” is a rite
of passage that bonds and unites
almost all students. We should
be proud to be “college poor” and
learn from the experience.

EDITORIAL CARTOON By Mark Viser, mviser@email.unc.edu
The challenger
B.J. Lawson is running for election on the Republican
ticket in North Carolina’s Fourth District
The Interview is a periodic fea-
ture of extended interviews with
people who affect our community,
written by members of the edito-
rial board. This is the second of two
interviews preceding our endorse-
ment for Congress on Wednesday.
Monday, Mark Laichena wrote
about David Price. Today, Cameron
Parker writes about B.J. Lawson.
B
efore we even begin the for-
mal interview, B.J. Lawson
is knee-deep into a discus-
sion on the financial crisis — dis-
cussing credit derivatives and
mortgage-backed securities.
His detailed grasp of the issues
contradicts what might be the
most prominent criticism of him:
that he is just an angry Tea Party
supporter.
Lawson says that he is running
in 2010 for the same reasons he
ran in 2008 — he is concerned
about the direction of the coun-
try. More specifically, there are
four things he explicitly identifies:
jobs, the economy, health care and
trust in government.
In speaking with Lawson, it’s
clear that much of his world view
was shaped by his entrepreneurial
experience.
Lawson studied engineering and
medicine at Duke, but left surgical
residency to start MercuryMD,
a company specializing in hospi-
tal software. It became a leading
provider of data management in
health care and was acquired by the
Thomson Corporation in 2006.
“Economically, we were living
the golden rule,” says Lawson of
managing his company. “Do well
by doing good,” the mantra he
used, becomes a motif throughout
the discussion.
And, as Lawson sees it, his
entrepreneurial efforts were some-
what stifled by government intru-
sion. He feels that at some point,
he spent more time taking care of
government than his workers.
“We have to fundamentally
realize that prosperity does not
come from Washington,” he says.
He seems deeply concerned about
what he calls “crony capitalism,”
private sector competition for the
fruits of government largesse.
It is a departure from his
opponent, Rep. David Price,
No curfew on safety
Violence a bigger concern than turnout on Halloween
T
he town’s efforts to limit
the size of the Halloween
celebration on Franklin
Street, known as “Homegrown
Halloween,” have had mixed
effects.
This year, the police plan on
clearing people off of Franklin
Street at 11:30 p.m. — 30 min-
utes earlier than last year.
But will forcing people off
the streets earlier really change
the chances of any illegal and
violent activity?
In 2008, there were only
a reported 35,000 people on
Franklin Street. However, it was
estimated that nearly 50,000
people celebrated downtown.
Last year, after the police
cleared Franklin Street, a man
stabbed a student outside of a
fraternity house.

sion about the

L a w s o n
B.J. Lawson
seems to be a
conservative
more in the flavor of Ron Paul
than Jesse Helms. He says he “has
a hard time with labels,” but looks
to the Constitution.
Invoking his science back-
ground, he compares money flow-
ing to power like water flowing
down a hill — “It’s kind of a law of
physics.”
To that end, he is critical of the
money from political action com-
mittees that he claims his opponent
has accepted.
But when asked if he would take
money from PACs, he is coy: “It’s
not like I turn down
money if someone “We have to
gave it to me.”

seems to know
this but trudges on B.J. Lawson
faithfully anyway.
“There’s a lot of economic
vibrancy in the Fourth District,”
he says. Then he seamlessly tran-
sitions, saying, “We are in danger
of becoming too dependent on the
government for that vibrancy.”
He notes that every dollar the
government sends here is a dollar
that, in private hands, might have
been invested elsewhere. Given
the comparatively worse economic
climate in other parts of the state
and nation, it’s a solid point.
And in the absence of federal
funding, Lawson seems convinced
that the University can get along
just fine.
“People are excited to get up
every day and change the world
by starting in their backyard,” he
says. Again, his entrepreneurship
is showing. It’s an admirable ide-
alism — but it’s still idealism.
By forcing people to vacate the
open street, police may be put-
ting people in less public, more
violence-prone situations.
With Halloween falling on a
Sunday this year, officers hope
people will go home earlier due
to classes and work.
Hopefully this is true, as a
safer and more “homegrown”
Chapel Hill party is always bet-
ter than violence and chaos.
Police spokesman Lt. Kevin
Gunter said the department will
again have extra officers on hand
around the downtown area.
Assisted by UNC public safety
officers and officers from other
parts of the state, the police will
manage any suspicious and vio-
lent activity.
This is promising news, but
it would seem easier to man-
Sam Jacobson

It’s no secret that UNC benefits
greatly from government grants,
especially in the area of medicine.
When asked what the University
would do in the absence of such
funding, he answers, “There can
be no sacred cows.” As Lawson
sees it, it’s simply funding narrow
interests with borrowed money,
and it’s not sustainable.
So why should students vote
for Lawson? His answer: “I think
students want a job when they
graduate.”
But what could Lawson real-
istically expect to achieve as a
freshman Congressman?
He specifically cites his support
for keeping the Bush tax cuts and
for the Read the Bills Act, which
would require every bill to be
read before Congress and posted
online at least seven days before
a vote.
If Lawson has it his way, he will
be in Washington for eight years.
He has committed
to stepping down
after four terms.
“It’s addicting —
the perks, the per-
ception of power
— it’s a bubble,” he
says of Washington,
D.C.
He feels that all
politicians, includ-
ing himself, are vul-
nerable to these cor-
rupting influences.
“I’m not running against a
22-year incumbent, I’m running
against the idea of a 22-year
incumbent,” he says, reminding
us of how long his opponent has
been in office.
He frames it using a business
reference, saying that like with
the CEO at a company, transition
planning is important.
Ironically, his opponent uses
a similar metaphor to argue the
other way: “Would a business
kick anybody out after eight
years?”
Lawson’s views are different,
but they are logically consistent.
He believes in a very different
government — one that is smaller
and more local.
How much he might accom-
plish in Washington, though, is
another matter entirely.
age 35,000 people if you had
them in a controlled space as
opposed to wandering intoxi-
cated through a town of about
20 square miles.
If town officials anticipate a
smaller crowd this year, they
should consider the possibil-
ity of keeping Franklin Street
open. Given last year’s violence
after the street was cleared, it
seems safer to keep everyone in
one place.
But assuming that they are
set in their decision, we hope
that they continue to improve
efforts to keep the town safe
after Franklin Street is cleared.
Simply closing the street
at an appointed time does
not necessarily mean that the
crowd is under control and stu-
dents remain safe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Nourish International is
about more than money
TO THE EDITOR:
Last Friday, an article appeared
in the DTH outlining Nourish
International’s Global Music Jam
(“‘Global Music Jam’ takes on
hunger,” Oct. 15) and attempted
to explain Nourish International.
The article did not present a coher-
ent picture of Nourish’s model, so
we’d like to clarify our organiza-
tion’s goals and values. At its most
basic level, Nourish International
is a student organization focused
on addressing issues surround-
ing global poverty. Nourish oper-
ates business ventures during the
school year (like Hunger Lunch
and Global Music Jam), the prof-
its of which are invested in sus-
tainable development projects
each summer. We partner with
community-based non-profit
organizations around the world
to promote essential needs such
as public health, nutrition, sanita-
tion and education. We embrace
the idea of mutual exchange
and collaborative learning, and
understand that both partners
— students and the community
organization — are invested in
one another to create sustainable
solutions for the future.
So we’re not handing out food.
We’re not paying for students to
have an international experience.
All of Nourish’s profits are invest-
ed directly into projects address-
ing needs identified by our partner
community organizations, in col-
laboration with their own invest-
ment of time, skill and energy.
This may be our mission today,
but we’re constantly re-evaluat-
ing it. We’re asking questions,
striving to measure our impact.
We understand that internation-
al development isn’t an answer;
it’s a process, a discourse to
which we bring a student voice.
We hope this clears up Nourish’s
goals. We’d love to have you in
our next conversation.

Transition to coal-free
campus is not complete
TO THE EDITOR:
The Daily Tar Heel has implied
that the transition to a coal-free
campus is complete. Biomass test
firings have begun, but UNC’s
cogeneration plant will continue
to burn primarily coal for at least
the next five to 10 years.
The Energy Task Force has
done a commendable job in mak-
ing thorough recommendations
that outline an aggressive plan for
a coal-free campus, and UNC’s
Energy Services Department has
responded quickly and effectively
to carry out this transition.
But there are important chal-
lenges ahead. The transition to bio-
mass will require the University to
investigate problems with sourc-
ing, sustainable management and
emissions monitoring while also
considering the substantial and
costly adaptations for infrastruc-
ture that will be necessary.
In the meantime, UNC will
continue to burn coal. Despite
a commitment that UNC would
make best efforts to purchase
coal that is sourced from deep
mines, the University’s recently
renewed coal contracts indicate
that all three of its new mines are
contour mining operations — a
highly destructive form of surface

mining similar to mountaintop

of our electricity on campus still
comes from Duke Energy, which
has no foreseeable plan for phas-
ing out destructive coal use.
There are no silver bullet solu-
tions, and the University will have
to continue to expand the mix of
clean energy technologies that will
carry us to climate neutrality in
coming decades. UNC has a plan
for becoming coal-free, but there
is still plenty of work ahead.

B.J. Lawson is the right
choice for Fourth District
TO THE EDITOR:
I find it rather sad that our
longtime incumbent Rep. David
Price is resorting to attacks on his
formidable opponent B.J. Lawson,
calling him and his ideas “extreme”
(“David Price’s history an asset in
race,” Oct. 14). Along with mil-
lions of voters across the country,
Lawson’s belief that the federal
government should rule accord-
ing to the U.S. Constitution is the
farthest thing from “extreme.”
The federal debt spiraling out of
control is extreme. The contin-
ued high unemployment rate is
extreme. The laws that our cur-
rent Congress is passing without
reading is extreme.
Rep. Price is attempting to
marginalize a candidate — and
his large support base — who
honorably represents the new
ideas we desperately need in
Washington. Lawson can bring
a new voice based on his expe-
rience in medicine and entre-
preneurship. He has the guts
to discuss the tough issues and
propose tough solutions to fix
our dreadful economic prob-
lems. He signed a bonded term
limit pledge if elected, so he has
the interests of the 4th District at
heart rather than aspirations of
being a professional Washington
insider. It’s time that North
Carolina has a representative
that will work hard to keep our
hard-earned money here locally.

KD/Chi Phi Crawfish boil
was a great green success
TO THE EDITOR:
On Friday Oct. 8, Kappa Delta
Sorority and Chi Phi Fraternity
co-hosted their annual Crawfish
Boil at Chi Phi. More than 750
people attended the dinner,
raising $1,500 for the Orange
Country Rape Crisis Center,
Dance Marathon, the Susan
Hope Lambeth Ovarian Cancer
Fund and HOPE Gardens.
The Crawfish Boil was a
Carolina Green event which
educated event attendees about
composting and its importance
to living sustainably. The din-
ner included local and organic
food from Sysco and Freshpoint
Produce as well as plates and cups
from local organizations which
were composted after the event.
Kappa Delta and Chi Phi
would like to thank all those who
attended the Crawfish Boil. It was
a great way to give back to the
community with a fun and envi-
ronmentally friendly event.
