Monday.
When he came around to the door, he
told the cook he was there to do work on the

Di-Phi endorses Lee in first campaign forum
by Jeanna Smialek
Assistant University Editor
Me m b e r s o f t h e D i a l e c t i c a n d
Philanthropic Societies endorsed Student
Body President Candidate Ian Lee at their
forum Wednesday night.
The event marked the beginning of the
campaign season, which will end with the
Feb. 8 election unless a runoff is neces-
sary. It provided candidates with their first
opportunity to publicly answer questions
about their campaigns and to hear one
another’s platforms.
Lee and his fellow candidates Mary
Cooper, Rick Ingram and Brooklyn Stephens
answered questions about their campaign
platforms and discussed their reasons for
campaigning at the Di-Phi forum.
After the forum, Di-Phi members went
into closed session, where they made the
decision to endorse Lee.
“He knew student government real-
ly well,” said Di-Phi President Andrew
Schwartz after he announced the endorse-
ment. Schwartz said Lee’s prior experience
in student government — he’s the student
body secretary — made him an attractive
candidate for the endorsement.
Lee said that he is excited about Di-Phi’s
decision.
“It gives us momentum, and a lot of
confidence,” Lee said, adding that he feels
he connected with students and com-
municated his holistic vision during the
forum.
“I want to help students achieve what
they want out of Carolina.”
All of the candidates said the forum was
an important step in the campaign, since
it officially opens discussion for the presi-
dential race.
“It’s the first chance to hear everyone’s
platforms without snooping around in the
background,” Cooper said.
During the forum, candidates answered
questions about their platforms and the
personal attributes that make them good
candidates.
“I want to be there to serve students,”
Stephens said.
Ingram emphasized his work ethic and
his realistic outlook in the face of a $3.7
billion state budget shortfall.
“I’m willing to work harder than anyone
else,” he said.
Meanwhile, Cooper said her passion
for the University and her fellow students
set her apart as a candidate.
“My job is to help you do your job bet-
ter,” she said in the forum.
Candidates also discussed whether
the student body should vote to continue
the University’s involvement in the UNC
Association of Student Governments.
“Improvements on ASG could be done,
but students need to know more about it
before they vote,” Cooper said.
Ingram, who is a member of the body,
took a harder line.
“Whose fault is it that students don’t
know about ASG? It’s ASG’s fault,” he said.
All candidates supported placing the
organization’s future on the referendum.
The candidates also discussed what
their first actions as president would be.
Lee said he would want to talk to the
General Assembly about the UNC budget
on behalf of students.
Stephens said she would advocate
against tuition increases, and Ingram said
he would sit down and have conversations
with administrators about student needs.
“I’d put together a transition from
Hogan’s administration,” Cooper said.

with felonious kidnapping and misdemeanor
charges of assault on a female, communicating
threats and possession of drug paraphernalia,
according to Chapel Hill police reports.
“We’re impressed with how the brothers
responded,” fraternity president Larsen Jones
said. “The victim is doing much better.”
The 39-year-old woman escaped with a few
bruises but did not require medical attention,
police spokesman Lt. Kevin Gunter said.
Watson, who is homeless, was under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or both at the time
of the incident, reports state.
Watson was carrying what appeared to be
a crack pipe at the time of arrest, Gunter said.
He did not have any weapons.
“We really have very little information on
him personally. This is the first interaction
we’ve had with this individual,” he said.
Watson is being held at the Orange County
Jail in lieu of a $200,000 bond, Sgt. Raeford
Thompson said.
He initially appeared before a court Tuesday
and has a second court date Monday.
Freshman Frank Elliot was one of several fra-
ternity members who came to help the victim.
“We were all shocked,” he wrote in an e-mail.
“We are just happy that we were able to handle
the situation and the victim is doing well.”
Jones said the victim is taking time off to
recover from the incident.
“We’re just making do without her for now,”
Jones said, “fending for ourselves and giving
her as much time as possible.”

UNC 74 But for the
Miami  71 final two min-
utes in North
Carolina’s 74-71 win against Miami
Wednesday night, the freshman
played like the All-American he was
expected to be in the preseason.
After hitting a fade-away jump-
er with 1:09 left to tie the game at
71, Barnes drained a 3-pointer as
the shot clock was expiring to give
UNC a three-point lead.
“You can’t look at the last few
minutes and compare them to the
whole game,” Barnes said. “You
know, the last few minutes is that
period of time where you either
make the shot or you don’t. And
rely on what you’ve done earlier,
you have to just make it happen at
that point and time.”

Roy Williams, UNC coach

play as Barnes’ shot.
“I could have made that shot,”
Williams said.
“I couldn’t have made the play
that Kendall made. And I’m not
trying to take anything away from
Harrison, because that’s a big-time
shot as the clock’s winding down,
but let’s not forget the heck of a
find that Kendall made on that
play, too.”
The Tar Heels played toe-to-toe
with the Hurricanes (12-8, 1-5)
throughout the second half. Neither
team led by more than three points
after halftime, but that’s not how
the game started.
In a three-minute first half span,
Miami hit four straight 3-pointers
to lead 14-4.
“ They made so many 3’s,”
Williams said. “Every time I looked
up I thought a 3-point shot.”
Miami made six of its first eight
3-pointers, but behind sophomore
guard Dexter Strickland by halftime
UNC had crept into a 39-39 tie.

Despite signs of economic recov-

into effect at the July 1 start of the

But Gov. Bev Perdue has also
asked officials from the UNC sys-

Cuts of 15 percent would total

Career services to hold National and World News N&W

student internship fair
by Ethan Robertson
staff writer
As May, graduation and summer
loom closer, one thought is preva-
lent on students’ minds.
Internships.
But students aren’t the only ones
thinking about internships. Local
companies take advantage of the
talent available at UNC by offer-
ing dozens of paid and unpaid jobs
year round.
Many of these companies will be
highlighted in today’s University
Career Services’ Internship Fair.
3 Birds Marketing, an advertis-
ing company in Chapel Hill, has
employed several UNC students
since coming to the area.
“They love having college stu-
dents from UNC,” said Hannah
Watts, a senior public relations
major who currently holds an
internship with 3 Birds.
“A lot of companies recognize
that we put out a lot of really good
students,” Watts said.
Watts heard about the internship
through the School of Journalism
and Mass Communication news-
letter, which comes out every
Monday.
finance

“We look for someone who is
ready to come in and be kind of
self-directed,” said Emily Farrar,
social media strategist and account
manager for 3 Birds and as well as
a UNC graduate.
Sierra Piland, a junior graphic
design and media production dou-
ble major, has held an internship
with Southern Weddings Magazine
and with University Directories,
which she found at an internship
fair during her first year.
“Stay really positive and realis-

some local and some far-fetched,
get really involved on campus with
what you want to do and remember
networking is very important,” she
said.
UCS teaches students how to
write resumés and present them-
selves in the best possible light.
UCS Assistant Director Gary
Miller said it is important for stu-
dents to tailor their resumé’s list of
experiences to the position they are
seeking.
“Employers tell us that they
spend between three and 20 sec-
onds on any one resumé, so it is
important to ensure that they can

what skill sets they can leverage,”
Miller said.
The fair offers more than just
local internships, attracting every-
thing from investment firms to
national brands like Target.

during her sophomore year. Price
also worked on the other side of the
table, helping recruit other interns
for the company.
Price said that the key to land-
ing an internship at a fair is for
students to research any of the
companies they’re interested in
before going.
“It’s not really like window shop-
ping,” said Price. “The ones that
get a job are the ones that plan
ahead.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
— Federal deficit spending will
rise to $1.5 trillion this year,
according to a report released
Wednesday.
The report comes on the heels
of President Barack Obama’s
State of the Union address and in
the midst of a burgeoning debate
in Washington over federal bud-
get cuts and spending, a front-
line argument between Obama
and congressional Republicans.
The report from the
Congressional Budget Office
said federal debt over the next
decade will continue to balloon
to unsustainable levels unless
federal tax and spending poli-
cies change.
Republicans voted on Tuesday,
before Obama’s speech, to revert
federal spending to 2008 levels.
“A few years ago, reduc-
ing spending was important.
Today, it’s imperative,” Rep. Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the
House Budget Committee, said

engaged in a stimulus spending
spree that not only failed to deliv-
er on its promise to create jobs,
but also plunged us even deeper
into debt.”
Democrats have slammed the
GOP’s move Tuesday as a “bud-
getless resolution.”
“I want Republicans to take
the deficit seriously — to join
President Obama and Democrats
in making the hard choices it will
take to get out of debt.
“But so far, with the oppor-
tunity to finally back up their
words, they’ve given our country
a record of disappointment,” Rep.
Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the minority
whip, said in a statement.

Moving
Island’s
Buoyancy
Benefit

Local organization champions Lineup

technology and the arts
by linnie greene
diversions editor
There’s a common phrase that
says no man is an island. If it’s up to
Chris Hutcherson-Riddle, the same
will be true for the arts in Raleigh,
Durham and Chapel Hill.
Hutcherson-Riddle is one of
the masterminds behind Moving
Island, a new arts space that aims
to unite art, technology and easy
living through classes and events
at a renovated warehouse in down-
town Raleigh.
The organization will open
its doors to the public for the
first time this weekend for the
Buoyancy Benefit, a two-night
event featuring some of the most
prominent musicians from across
the Triangle.
Rallying an all-star cast of art-
ists to play the event pro bono came
with its fair share of obstacles.
“It was about a month in plan-
ning. Hearing from bands about
whether they can play or not takes
time because you have to ask every
member in your band of course,
so that was the biggest challenge,”
Hutcherson-Riddle said. “Aside
from that it’s sheerly to raise
money so we have the materials
we need to start teaching classes
in the beginning of March.”
With courses planned in every-
thing from circuit-bending to
black-and-white photography to
parent-child music classes, you’re
likely to encounter both amateur
and experienced artists from all
corners of the Triangle at Moving
Island’s space. Hutcherson-Riddle
and his fellow organizers wouldn’t
have it any other way.
“It came by sitting down at the

chris Hutcherson-riddle, Moving island co-founder
board meeting and saying, ‘What
are other people not offering?
What do we think people would be
excited about?’” said Maria Albani,
Moving Island’s chairwoman.
And while this menagerie of
offerings might seem fragmented,
Moving Island’s board members
operate under a shared goal: to give
people an opportunity to try some-
thing new, and interact with each
other while they’re doing so.
“We would do a pedals work-
shop or a circuit-bending work-
shop or even a recording engineer-
ing workshop, so people can learn
how to empower themselves to do
these things that seem really scary
at first,” Hutcherson-Riddle said.
In the midst of a dicey economy
and a national cut to arts programs,
the founders weren’t expecting a
walk in the park, but recent events
in the area made Hutcherson-
Riddle confident that a network of
support was in place.
“Hopscotch (Music Festival)
was a huge inspiration for a lot of
people. I got to participate. I played
in two bands at the last Hopscotch
Festival, Old Bricks and Motor
Skills, and just the amount of work
and what it brought to the town
— and also how Raleigh has really
responded to that,” he said. “The
community has become support-
ive of these things, and we saw that
there was an absence and decided
to try to fill that.”

part of the benefit. It’s definitely
not just a Raleigh thing —it’s for
artists and musicians and teachers
and all of us.”
Hutcherson-Riddle is equally
adamant that the organization
hopes to draw instructors and
patrons from all corners of the
Triangle, not just the capital city.
“You’ve heard about the music
scene in Chapel Hill in the past.
Durham’s had its moments, but I
think it’s really nice that it’s hap-
pening in all three locations, and
that we can work together as a
whole to make something really
great,” he said.
Albani hopes that the benefit’s
attendees leave with a sense of the
community and support that is
Moving Island’s raison d’etre.
“I hope that more people know
what it is and that people use it,
really utilize the space to help make
it better and feel like they’re a part
of it,” she said.
“We’re really trying to start a
little family there.”

The Fighter
Welterweight division boxer
Micky Ward’s strategy was to
sustain blows until unleashing
an oftentimes knockout hit to his
opponents’ core.
“The Fighter”, a film based on
Ward, follows a different strat-
egy by striking consistent punches
throughout with its sharp dialogue
and dynamic supporting acting.
Ward, portrayed by Mark
Wahlberg, is a hometown hero in
Lowell, Mass., who is on the brink
of success but perpetually held
back because of his mother Alice
(Melissa Leo) and half-brother
(Christian Bale) Dicky’s irrespon-
sible management.
Ward’s girlfriend, Charlene
(Amy Adams), and his mother
play to his battling interests of
self-preservation and familial ties,
respectively.
Leo convincingly tries to snare
back her character’s son’s affilia-
tion, jumping between soft-spo-
ken guilt and bouts in which she
summons her entourage of seven
daughters to squander Ward’s push
for independence.
Adams, who steps out of her typ-
ical roles as naïve characters, plays
Charlene, a sexy bartender who
wants to help Ward leave Lowell.
She employs a viciously brash
demeanor when handling Ward’s
family that even leads her to punch
one of Ward’s Snooki-like sisters.
But while constant bickering
provides a scope of Ward’s inner
turmoil, the heart of the movie is
Christian Bale’s portrayal of Ward’s
affably optimistic and intensely
loyal half-brother Dicky Eklund,
a former boxer with a crack addic-
tion.

intense shivering in moments of
withdrawal show not only Bale’s
strong acting but also raise the
question of whether he used crack
in preparation for his character.
“The Fighter” strays away from
the grips of sport cliché through a
dedication to portraying relation-
ships, showing how many punches
one man can take before he has to

The King’s Speech
In one scene near the beginning
of “The King’s Speech,” the Duchess
of York (Helena Bonham Carter)
sits next to a poor stuttering boy
in the waiting room of a London
speech therapist. The Duchess is
there under alias, uncomfortably
mingling with the commoners
while her husband, Prince Albert
(Colin Firth), secretly works on his
stammer.
The scene bodes ill for the rest of
the film, based as it is on that silly,
unimaginative, even oppressive old
trope of “royalty in disguise.” Too
many scenes like this and “The
King’s Speech” risks becoming
just one more throw-away nod to
royal pomp and happenstance, the
cinematic equivalent of tasteless
elevator music.
But then everything changes.
Albert starts his speech therapy
with Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush)
and the chemistry of the film is
made.
The true history ostensibly being
told, that of Albert’s transformation
from a scared, stuttering prince
into a king able to lead his nation
against Nazi Germany, takes a back
seat to the likewise-true, if fiction-

Diversions
alized tale of the Albert-Lionel
public speaking team.
This is really a story about the
friendship between the king and a
commoner, and refreshingly unique
in its decision to portray the king as
the commoner of the two.
On top of its many other virtues
— brutally honest close-ups, good
pacing, little pathetic sentimental-
ism — the movie’s main attraction
is its large cast of talented English
actors.
Carter and Firth, able as they
are, are just the beginning. Guy
Pearce, Michael Gambon and
Timothy Spall all fit their roles
organically, whether playing a
comically dour Winston Churchill
(Spall) or a majestically inbred
George V (Gambon).
But the best, by far, is Rush,
who plays the Australian upstart
Logue with all the exuberance of a
classical genius.
He is a middle-class angel of
equality and his every expression
is worth all the rusty crowns of
Christendom.
In fact, watching him kick the
Archbishop of Canterbury out of
Westminster Abbey almost over-
shadows the eponymous speech
that should be the movie’s climax.
He’s a joy to watch, and in an
Academy based on merit, he would
be rewarded for this role with a
treasure trove of Oscars.

drop of director Debra Granik’s
latest film.
In the midst of this drug
trade, 17-year-old Ree (Jennifer
Lawrence) tries to disassociate
herself from her grim surroundings
and do well by her family, provid-
ing for her two younger siblings
in the absence of a meth-dealing
father.
As the cops threaten to dislocate
her family from their home, Ree is
forced to probe into the dark crev-
ices of the Ozark Mountains and
find her wanted father.
It is quite the ordeal for a girl,
who at her age should still be con-
cerned with math tests and English
papers. Jennifer Lawrence puts on
a tremendous performance as Ree,
both as a strong feminine figure
and struggling journeyman.
Constantly rejected by abusive
uncles and hostile relatives, Ree is
given little help in the pursuit for
her father and only plunges into
deeper troubles as she trudges
onwards.
As she teaches her siblings how
to shoot a gun and gut a squirrel,
an eerie tension is created as it
becomes readily apparent that Ree
can die at a moment’s notice. Yet
Lawrence’s perseverance allows her
character to believably take each
obstacle in stride.
As the film goes on, the focus
of the story backs away from Ree’s
search for her father and centers
more on her developing character
as she matures much beyond her
years.
A poignant reflection of what a
sector of America must endure on
a daily basis, “Winter’s Bone” is one
of the year’s best and should not be
missed, if not for its gripping por-
trayal of reality, but for Lawrence’s
breakout performance.

sunnier sound of the band’s sopho-
more album fits them perfectly.
The woozy, jangly electric guitar
that is the glue of the record proves
remarkably adaptable, bringing
shades of ’90s Britpop, ’60s psyche-
delia and the sweet yearning of pop
ballads to the group’s songs.
Despite a smorgasbord of
influences, the resulting sound is
uniquely Smith Westerns, and it’s
clear that it’s a niche that suits the
band.
Although the lyrics focus on
thwarted love, frontman Cullen
Omori’s dreamy, carefree voice
makes these problems sound any-
thing but troublesome.
With a never-ending supply of
hooks and vocals that sound like
they were recorded in a cathedral,
this young band successfully cre-
ates an atmosphere that initially
hooks you, then keeps you around
until the closing track.
Smith Westerns have shown a
knack for lush and textured music
that doesn’t drag you down in over-
arrangement. The extreme sea
change in its sound also shows the
group’s chameleon-like prowess in
shifting genres. Let’s hope the band
continues in this vein just a little
bit longer.

iron & wine
kiss each other clean
rock
It’s not even a month into 2011,
and it’s already proving to be a
promising year for music. Iron &
Wine is no exception with Kiss
Each Other Clean, the band’s major
label debut.
The record stands out from other
Iron & Wine releases immediately.
While songwriter Sam Beam’s
departure from his signature sound
isn’t as dramatic as Sufjan Stevens’
shift on last year’s Age of Adz, it
could come as a shock to fans of his
other work. The soft acoustic guitar
that formed the backbone to past
records is notably absent, replaced
with soulful saxophone, piano and
multi-layered vocals.
The intro to “Big Burned Hand”
sounds much like something that
should have been the theme song
to a sitcom. You can easily imagine
the track playing over an opening
shot of the Huxtables sitting in the
living room.
The album climaxes as it closes
with “Your Fake Name is Good
Enough for Me.” It’s the heaviest
track, slowly descending into con-
trolled chaos. Beam’s words, too,
are darker: “We will become the
sinner and saint/We will become
the bandage and the blade,” he
sings as the track slides into an
emotional haze.
It’s easy to want to discourage
artists from changing a signature
sound. As a fan, it’s easy to say,
“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.”
Kiss Each Other Clean might not
adhere to every fan’s expectations,
but it would be a mistake to ignore
Beam’s latest transformation.

Q&A: NORTH ELEMENTARY’S JOHN HARRISON

North Elementary is touring
in support of its sixth album. At
a point where most bands fall
apart or change direction, North
Elementary shows no signs of stop-
ping its brand of experimental folk
pop. This week, Assistant Editor
Joseph Chapman caught up with
frontman John Harrison.
Diversions: So you finally
released Southern Rescue Trails
back in September — how has the
album held up live?
John Harrison: It’s been
fun. Those songs — a lot of them
were written with the touring band
that I’ve had for the last three years.
I felt like we really played well
together, and I think that record
was mostly tracked live with the
whole band.
I think it’s a band-sounding
record that lends its songs to work
live. We built in spaces in the songs
so we could be more in the moment that we find interesting in both

JH: We had to change up some
of the songs. I personally view
recording and playing live as two
different things — and I love doing
both.
We play close to 100 shows a
year and I also like going to the
studios and recording and having
the freedom to do stuff you can’t
do live.
Me, personally, I don’t think
that when you record something
it has to sound like that live when
you play it. If I was Coldplay, I’d
probably need to do that, but the
clubs we play at and the amount of
records that sell, I think it’s more
important to just sort of do things

very year it’s as tedious and
predictable as Black Friday,
and like some poor bloke
getting trampled in a shopping
stampede, it’s about as painful, too.
I’m talking about those space-
invading, unavoidable Academy
Awards, a profoundly irrelevant
ceremony in which roughly 6,000
mindlessly rich and well-connect-
ed Hollywood types get together
and decide which of their tribe
they’ll be patting on the back this
time around.
Yet, widely viewed as the cer-
emony is, it is not without its
detractors, nor the detractors
without their reasons.
As a part-time amateur movie
guy, my friends often ask me what
my favorite picks are for the vari-
ous Oscar categories.
Who should win Best
Supporting Actress? What about
Best Animated Feature Film?
Surely I must have opinions on all
of these things.
It’s always a bit awkward trying
to explain to them why, actually,

THE LEVELLER
Middle of the road
The Academy Awards, for
some people, embody the highest
achievements in cinema. These
people, however, are often the
type whose idea of artistic purity
includes the words “Slumdog” and
“Millionaire.”
The general public that fol-
lows the awards are often unac-
quainted with the movies both
nominated and ignored, and the
Academy members that nominate
them and vote are essentially
corporate representatives with an
image to uphold.
As a result, most people hedge
their tastes and move to the mid-
dle — the public to avoid having
their tastes noticed and therefore
scrutinized, the Academy to avoid
alienating the public.
That’s why the movies and
out a trace. At best it’s primarily
a runway for designer dresses, at
worst a hypocritical gala of left-
wing elites. Besides, if these stars
like dressing up so much, why
don’t they find a nice Renaissance
fair to patronize?
As George C. Scott reportedly
said upon declining an Oscar for
Best Actor in 1970, the Awards
are just “a goddamned meat-
parade.”
The Best? Really?
The highlight of every Academy January grind can get awfully heavy,
Awards is invariably the selection so take this opportunity to get a
for Best Picture. But what is a
“best picture” anyway? And who
picks it? And why?
The Academy surely has vari-
ous reasons for picking the films
that it does and shoving them
down our throats, but one of them
is doubtlessly the desire to shape
public opinion on what good cin- worth of gas to get to Raleigh’s Tir
ema is.
And that’s something I can do
perfectly well myself, thank you
very much.
It’s problematic enough judg-
ing movies with stars and thumbs, rowdy brand of indie rock. Fellow
much less picking a “best.” And
when critics do stick out their
slow love jam? Is it a dance record
that gets deep? This 1984 release
runs the gamut, but one thing’s for
sure — it’s mighty funky, and you
won’t hear us complaining. Throw

totally your call).

Health care reform
Burr said he supported moving
health care to the private sector
and incorporating “the aspect of
personal responsibility.”
He criticized Obama’s health
care legislation.
“I have read it five times,” he
said. “It can’t be changed; it’s fun-
damentally flawed.”
Burr defended Republicans’
intent to repeal the legislation with-
out much optimism.

The
surreal
life of the
DC intern
T
here’s a whole page in
the nightlife section of
the Fodor’s guide for
D.C. about interns, and how
to recognize them by the eager
expressions, intern badges – and
hangovers.
It sounds cynical, but the truth
is worse.
Securing an internship in
D.C. requires stellar references,
resumes, writing samples, inter-
views and more. All for the
chance to work in a political
office in the American capital.
And you are making sacrifices:
paying your way to work for free,
in a city which definitely is not as
cheap as Chapel Hill.
Because this is it, right? This
is where you will get that experi-
ence, make that connection and
step up on your path to great-
ness, to serving your country.
Well, maybe you will. But for a
lot of people, the actual internship
means grunt work, tempered only
by the chance to catch a glimpse
of your heroes, and plentiful free
time for happy hours.
Already, a lot of discussions
among interns seem to center
around sightings and chance
encounters with political “celeb-
rities” — a political Page Six.
Everyone seems to have a tale
about riding the elevator with a
member of Congress, running
into Henry Kissinger in the bath-
room, or doing some mundane
activity tenuously related to one
of their political heroes.
It seems to validate otherwise
tedious tasks. Maybe you spend all
day answering the phone, despite
being a straight-A student from a
top university, but you briefly met
this famous political activist about
whom you have read.
Or maybe you photocopy
all day, but you are working in
Congress (and so on).
Last week, Washington, D.C.
was ablaze (not literally — my
countrymen last caused that in
1812), thanks to a visit by the
Chinese president.
So, the state visit added yet
another celebrity spotting hurdle
to contend with – who would
manage to see Hu Jintao?
And when one of my house-
mates succeeded, albeit from the
back of an auditorium, she imme-
diately sent us the photo.
It is not quite on the level of
Sasha Obama, who got to prac-
tice her Chinese with him, but an
exciting diversion nonetheless.
I will admit it is easy to be
swept up by the enthusiasm — I
stood at a crosswalk while the
black limousines with fluttering
Chinese and U.S. flags swept past.
One fellow UNC student keeps
a tally of presidential motorcade
sightings: She has two photos of
“the Beast” (Obama’s tank-like lim-
ousine) outside our home.
The president driving past our
house? You definitely would not
get that in Chapel Hill, or any-
where else around the country
for that matter.
But it can be tough to see how
being here is more meaningful
than university or more benefi-
cial than getting a paying job,
albeit one with fewer celebrity-
spotting opportunities, unless
you simply could not imagine
working anywhere else.
There seems to be no shortage
of students in this city willing to
put in eight hours a day on mind-
less tasks; so, maybe they are able
to console themselves by being
in the thick of government, and
somehow the celebrity-spotting
makes up for all of the trials.
And if not, there is always
happy hour.

Wrongful discrimination
New rule for denying admission to community
colleges a cause for serious concern
S
ometimes even the best
intentions can have seri-
ous drawbacks.
The N.C. Board of
Community Colleges’ amend-
ment to its “Admission to
Colleges” policy may be intend-
ed to keep students safe, but
the amendment is too vague
and, even more importantly,
could pose legal challenges for
the system.
The amendment, which goes
into effect April 1, allows cam-
pus officials at North Carolina’s
58 community colleges to deny
admission to any applicant that
they deem a potential threat to
campus security.
The policy states that com-
munity colleges can refuse
admission to any applicant
who poses a “health or safety
threat.” What the board consid-
ers a “threat” is up for debate.
Hazards of self-reporting
Symbolic policies improve image, if little else
T
he recent proposal by
the Office of Human
Resources to require
employees to self-report crim-
inal convictions to University
officials is a good idea — in
principle. But how much of a
practical difference it will make
is unclear.
As of now, the University
only requires applicants for
employment to report past
violations. The idea behind this
proposal would be to continue
this requirement into the actual
employment of the applicants,
therefore maintaining the safe-
ty of the University.
It definitely comes at a time
when faculty impropriety is
on people’s minds. Just this
past fall, journalism profes-
sor Monty Cook resigned after
allegations of improper contact
with a student surfaced.

The policy allows each col-
lege campus to determine what
constitutes a threat, which
could lead to inconsistent or
even arbitrary enforcement of
the amendment.
Having to provide a detailed
rationale for denying admis-
sion and even offering an
appeals process doesn’t change
the fact that students could
be denied admission simply
because of a benign mental
disability.
This amendment could also
lead to legal action on the basis
of discrimination. It is danger-
ously preemptive to label some-
body as a threat just by what is
written on an application.
Denying an applicant
because of a mental disabil-
ity could also potentially vio-
late federal laws such as the
Americans with Disabilities
Yet Cook resigned quickly,
and his actions became public
even quicker. While this is not
a perfect example as there was
no conviction of a crime, it cer-
tainly demonstrates that unsafe
behavior can be brought to light
regardless of a formal policy.
And the fact that enforce-
ment relies on self-reporting
calls into question its potential
effectiveness.
If a faculty member is con-
victed of a crime without the
University knowing, one won-
ders whether it is wise to rely
on the good faith of a delin-
quent individual to self-report
their crime.
The University, if truly seri-
ous about requiring employees
to report violations, likely needs
to develop a more systematic
reporting system that doesn’t
include moral hazard. This pro-

Act, which requires state enti-
ties to give people with dis-
abilities equal opportunities to
services.
This decision was passed
just two weeks after the Jan. 8
shooting in Arizona in which
the suspect, Jared Loughner,
appears to have been mentally
unstable.
The amendment had under-
gone a public hearing and com-
mentary before the Arizona
shootings occurred, but we
hope the vote to make it a rule
was not a knee-jerk reaction to
that event.
Because of its ambiguity,
the amendment is still a work
in progress. If the amend-
ment is to protect students
without opening up wrongful
discrimination against appli-
cants, then it requires serious
reevaluation.
posal seems to only be symbolic.
If it wasn’t meant to be, then a
more rigorous policy with more
teeth may be in order.
And if it isn’t a pressing
concern, then why promulgate
a half-hearted regulation? We
imagine that employees con-
victed of crimes make up a
small percentage of campus.
The real purpose behind a
policy such as this would seem
to be to increase the public
trust in the University’s work
force.
It’s fair to say that merely
having such a policy on the
books helps the University’s
public image. So a symbolic
gesture will do for now. And
improvements, even to per-
ception, are always worth some
praise.
But don’t expect it to actu-
ally increase safety.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
History is never as black
and white as it seems
TO THE EDITOR:
The Silent Sam controversy
illustrates the danger of judg-
ing the past by today’s stan-
dards. Today it is fashionable
to posthumously condemn all
Confederates as traitors worthy
of eternal damnation because
of the South’s association with
slavery. It is equally fashionable
to ostracize any who attempt to
honor Confederate soldiers, but
in so doing, we turn history into a
weapon of political correctness.
C e r t a i n l y, a n u m b e r o f
Southerners fought to defend
slavery. Others detested slavery
yet fought for independence
because they saw centraliza-
tion of federal power as both
unconstitutional and danger-
ous. Others still fought simply
to protect their homes. If we use
today’s sensibilities to condemn
all Confederate soldiers, what
about their adversaries?
Can we square a war ostensi-
bly fought solely to end slavery
and give blacks an equal footing
— the ideologically correct view
— with the existence of slavery
in four union states? What about
the Emancipation Proclamation’s
exemption of slaves held in occu-
pied Confederate territory — the
very places emancipation could
be forced? How do we treat
Lincoln’s pre-war support of a
constitutional amendment to
forever protect slavery where it
already existed? Certainly it’s odd
that states supposedly fighting
to destroy the slaveocracy would
bar free blacks from immigrat-
ing, as Illinois and others did.
The point is not to minimize
the horror or injustice of slavery
— indeed the one great outcome
of the war was slavery’s demise —
but rather to illustrate that his-
tory is never as “black and white”
as we’d like. We forget that at the
peril of reasoned discussion and
free exchange of ideas.

Gender neutral language
not a topic of concern
TO THE EDITOR:
There is sexism in the world
and it’s certainly not defensible,
but there is a more immediate
problem in Chapel Hill. We must
be vigilant against the debase-
ment of the English language in
the name of frivolous politics.
To be clear, I don’t mean we
should merrily spew derogatory
epithets. Those, thankfully, don’t
appear much in our newspapers.
We live in an incredibly diverse
and inclusive town. But it is also a
learned town, and a student advo-
cating the erosion of the English
language boggles the mind. Some
gender specific words are useful
and honestly don’t offend anyone.
Why does Vera Parra (“We should
discuss, debate gender roles and
language,” Jan. 26) suggest we
waste time arguing over it?
How many words can you
think of that have lost their gen-
der connotations over time? Our
word “virtue” no longer means
“manliness” like its Latin root
“virtus” but it didn’t lose its gen-
der connotation because it was
debated ad nauseam or censored
in newspapers. Must we defend
virtue along with any other word
exhibiting vestigial gender? Are
we also to debate the grammati-

The IFC shelter has been a
good neighbor for 30 years
TO THE EDITOR:
United Church of Chapel Hill
will be the closest neighbor to the
to the Inter-Faith Council’s pro-
posed men’s transitional housing
facility, Community House.
From 1969 until 1999, we
were neighbors as the Inter-Faith
Council was in a church building
on Wilson St. when we gathered
for worship on Cameron Ave. For
30 years they were good neigh-
bors including those weeks of the
shelter’s existence when it was
in the Fellowship Hall of United
Church of Chapel Hill.
United Church welcomes a
neighbor that shares our pur-
poses — creating a community
in which an individual: may
know the full value of being a
child of God and a member of
a community; may change; may
develop practices and disciplines
to sustain a valued and changed
life; may discern purpose and
meaning and may grow in the
assurance that there is hope for
the future.
Not every neighbor in this
sector of Chapel Hill has had the
Inter-Faith Council as a neighbor
for 30 years, but United Church
has. We welcome them to be our
neighbor again.
