carrboro turns 100 Former

Develops from mill
town to culture hub
By Conor Furlong
Staff writer
From the humble beginnings of a mill
town, Carrboro has grown into a close-
knit community committed to art, busi-
ness and the environment.
As the town celebrates its 100th
birthday today, Carrboro residents
and officials say they are proud of the
town’s progress and are confident it
will maintain its culture-driven atmo-
sphere.
“It is a modern version of the old
town,” said Allen Spalt, a former mem-
ber of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen.
“What we have in Carrboro is fragile,
but not so fragile that I’m worried about
its future.”
The area first began to resemble a
town in the 1880s after the construction
of the Durham-Greensboro Southern
Railway.
“The railway allowed local goods to
reach the wider market,” said David
Otto, co-author of the recently published
book, “Images of America: Carrboro”
with Richard Ellington.
Following the construction of the
new railway station, several mills
began to open up, including the suc-
cessful Alberta Cotton Mill opened in
1898 by an uneducated yet cunning
local entrepreneur named Thomas
Lloyd.
The mills became a key source of
employment for many of the area’s resi-
dents.
“Life in a mill town isn’t known to be
glamorous, and for good reason,” Otto
said. “There were children as young as

Says Wichard funded
two of Austin’s flights
by Louie Horvath

Former North Carolina football player
Marvin Austin received money from sus-
pended agent Gary Wichard through an
intermediary, a search warrant released
by the Secretary of State of North
Carolina’s office stated.
The warrant states that Wichard paid
for Austin’s two flights to California to
work out with former teammate Kentwan
Balmer through Austin’s former high
school assistant coach Todd Amis.
Amis provided a canceled check from
Wichard’s agency, Pro Tect Management

Police, University urge precaution after break-in cases

by Victoria Stilwell
city editor
After five women woke up to strangers
in their bedrooms and with no suspect for
the incidents in custody, Chapel Hill and
University police are ramping up security
measures off campus.
Officials said these extra steps are meant
to supplement safety advice that should be
practiced consistently, but they recognized
the ease of neglecting these precautions in
day-to-day life.
“Students and society at large are most
attentive when something is happening
and awakens us to realize,” said Dean of
Students Jonathan Sauls. “When some-
thing is not public or current, folks might
not pay as much attention.”
In less than a week, an unidentified
male intruder has entered the unlocked
residences of four groups of students liv-
ing off campus.
The first two incidents occurred between
5:30 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Friday on the 300
blocks of both Church Street and Pritchard
Avenue. The latest two incidents occurred
between 6:30 a.m. and 7:15 a.m. Sunday at
Mill Creek Condominiums, located at 700
Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
All but the two students on Pritchard
woke up to a man touching their leg.
Although the descriptions for the man dif-
fer slightly from case to case, all women
said he was black or dark-skinned.
“We’re working diligently to try to iden-
tify a suspect,” Chapel Hill Police Chief
Chris Blue said. “These are obviously really
bold events, and we share the same safety
concerns as everyone else.”
Blue said police have increased surveil-
lance efforts in the wake of the burglaries.
He said the police department is also
working closely with UNC Department
of Public Safety, which could help identify
victims that may not have come forward.
“We have definitely beefed up both our
conspicuous visible patrols as well as those
that you might not see,” Blue said. “We’re
working these cases with lots of enthusi-
asm because these are disturbing, and we
want to stop them.”
After the murder of former Student
Body President Eve Carson nearly three
years ago today, University and town offi-
cials began a significant campaign to bol-
ster off-campus safety.
Town Manger Roger Stancil started
meeting with then-Student Body President
J.J. Raynor, a practice that has continued
with presidents in the following years.
Blue said police also met with student
government members last year after elec-
tions, something he said they look forward
to doing again in addition to regular meet-
ings with University police.
“We interact with UNC public safety
every day,” he said. “That relationship
couldn’t be better.”

After delays, Ackland fills space Barnes’ game-winner sinks Seminoles

by Nick Andersen
Arts Editor
As the University’s Ackland Art
Museum begins construction on its
new gift shop, it fills a storefront
that has been empty at one of the
busiest intersections in Chapel Hill
for more than seven years.
The store, to be located in the 100
E. Franklin St. building at the corner
of Columbia and Franklin streets,
will likely open the week of May 2,
said Emily Bowles, the Ackland’s
communications director.
The retail space has been empty
since 2003, said Meg McGurk,
assistant director of the Chapel
Hill Downtown Partnership.
The current project is funded
in part by a November 2009 grant
of $150,000 from UNC’s Office of
the Executive Vice Chancellor and
Provost, and was originally meant
to open in November.
Construction and contractor
negotiations forced the Ackland to
delay the store’s opening.
“It’s a matter of coming to an
agreement with a construction
team, seeing the architectural draw-
ings get drawn up,” Bowles said.
“Delays happen when you’re
converting a bank space into a
museum space.”
The store will sell merchandise
and gifts relevant to the Ackland’s
programming and will also include
extra gallery space, museum direc-
tor Emily Kass said in an e-mail.
The building, which also houses
the Top of the Hill restaurant and
bar, video game chain GameStop
and a variety of medical and research
offices, is owned by Fayetteville’s
Riddle Commercial Properties.
The estimated combined prop-
erty and building value is more
than $9.1 million, according to fil-
ings with the town of Chapel Hill.
The space where the Ackland
will open was last a banking branch
of First Union, which merged with
Wachovia in 2001.
“Wachovia realized they were
right down the street, and they
liked that branch more,” said Aaron
Nelson, president and CEO of the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of
Commerce.
Wachovia continues to lease the
property from Riddle.
The University entered into a
five-year sublease from Wachovia
in June 2010 that has a fixed end
date of May 30, 2015, said Gordon
Merklein, UNC’s executive director
for real estate development, in an
e-mail.
Because the grant for the build-
ing was given by an office of the
University, the property is leased
by the University on behalf of the
Ackland.
The University will begin paying
rent on the property in mid-April
when the renovation is complete
and the museum takes occupancy,
Merklein said.
The terms of the lease put the
annual rent at $123,052, with an
increase of three percent per year
after the first year.
Merklein stressed that the
Ackland’s current retail expansion
has no bearing on the discussion
of a possible move to University
Square, which the University
bought in 2008 and intends to
redevelop as a mixed-use project
to be called 123 West Franklin.
The first phase of the University
Square project is not expected to be
completed for at least three years,
Merklein said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — After
the game, Florida State coach
Leonard Hamilton could only
chuckle.
He sat in the post-game press
conference with a slight grin to
the right side of his face and his
left arm slung
MEN’S over the back of
BASKETBALL the chair beside
UNC  72 him.
FSU 70 Hamilton
knew Harrison
Barnes was going to get the ball
with the clock winding down, but
there was nothing else his team
could have done to prevent him
from knocking down the game-win-
ning 3-pointer for North Carolina,
sealing the 72-70 win with 3.1 sec-
onds left.
“I just think that was a great
play,” Hamilton said. “Obviously
you want to try to contest it as well
as possible, and I thought Michael
(Snaer) did a really good job of
contesting it. He made a tough
shot. You got to say that was as
good as it gets.”
Down one, point guard Kendall
Marshall ran down the court and put
up a weak layup that Okaro White
turned the other way. Marshall
received the ensuing in-bounds
pass and flipped it to Barnes, who
made a rounded turn before mak-
ing it to the middle of the court.
His eyes oscillated from the
clock to his defender before he
made his move. Barnes elevated
over Snaer and drained the long-
range game-winner.
“I didn’t know what they were
going to throw at me, I thought
they might throw a double team,
but when I saw the way they were
lined up, I knew I had to take the
jump shot,” said Barnes, who fin-
ished with 18 points.
But before Barnes continued
his late-game heroics, the top-per-
formance award almost went to
Derwin Kitchen. Kitchen, the only
senior in the Seminoles’ starting
lineup for his last game at home,
hit two free throws with 18.2 sec-
onds remaining to give FSU (20-9,
10-5 ACC) its first lead of the game
since the 15-minute mark of the
second half.
Until that point, the game had
been one of the most even con-
tests UNC (23-6, 13-2) has played
all year.
Both teams went 16-for-31 from
the field in the first half, with UNC
grabbing two more rebounds than
the Seminoles but also coughing
up one more turnover.
John Henson, Tyler Zeller and
Barnes combined for 28 of UNC’s
37 first-half points while just five
points came from the bench. UNC
coach Roy Williams used only an
eight-man rotation after Reggie
Bullock found out Tuesday he’d be
out for the year with a knee injury.
Leslie McDonald kick-started
UNC’s offense early in the second
half, draining back-to-back 3-balls
as the Tar Heels led 49-44 before
Hamilton called a timeout.
“The first one felt good when it
went in, and Kendall told me to go
down to the baseline and he’d get
me another one, and I felt good,”
McDonald said. “And as soon as he
did it, I knew it was going in.”
Florida State tightened the
game with the help of Tar Heel
foul trouble. Dexter Strickland had
three fouls, while Zeller finished the
night with four. FSU used reserve
Jon Kreft to be physical with the
7-footer to push a depleted UNC

Gary Marchionini, dean of the

the health information technology

Council of Advisors on Science and
Technology.
The work group consists of 18

December report on the potential of
health information technology on
improving American health care.
The report, due in April, will go
through committees that advise

Professors honored with
Faculty Mentoring Awards
UNC professors Sandra Martin
and Harold Kohn have been hon-
ored with Faculty Mentoring
Awards from the Carolina Women’s
Leadership Council.
The awards, which carry a
$5,000 stipend, were presented
last week at a ceremony at the
Carolina Inn. They are meant to
recognize faculty who make an
extra effort to guide students and
faculty at the University.
Martin is associate dean for
research in the UNC Gillings School
of Global Public Health and a pro-
fessor in the department of mater-
nal and child health, and Kohn is a
professor in the Eshelman School
of Pharmacy.
Martin received the award for fac-

Thorp.
The congratulations have flowed
in to Mary Cooper. But after the
initial shock of winning the stu-
dent body presidency over Ian Lee
with a sweeping 62 percent of the
vote, Cooper said she isn’t waiting
until her April 5 inauguration to
get started.
As her first week as student body
president-elect, Cooper said she has
shadowed Student Body President
Hogan Medlin at some of his small-
er committee meetings. Meanwhile,
she is moving forward with the four
main planks of her platform: safety,
arts and environment, tuition and
an outreach program called “Triage”
to help students converse with stu-
dent government.
In meetings with Cooper,
Medlin has given her many pieces
of advice, including taking time
to thank her team, choosing an
effective executive board rich

sis on relationships with everyone,”
Medlin said. “Her main power will
lie in her ability to influence, to
speak, and to persuade others to see
things from her point of view.”
“We wrote Mary’s platform to
have measurable change,” said
Walt Peters, Cooper’s task master
and logistical coordinator.
Specifics of the platform include
projects such as a flat-rate taxi ser-
vice, incorporating first-aid mod-
ules into Lifetime Fitness classes,
expanding CCI printing to northern
locations on campus and develop-
ing a Student Enrichment Fund.
“The issue that is on the fore-
front of my mind is the expanding
of CCI printing to Greek housing
and other off-campus locations,”
Cooper said.
The program, which she said
would be fairly feasible to instate,
would expand printing options to

Folkerts, the school’s dean. “But you
didn’t actually have to do it. This
time, we actually had to do it.”
If the cuts reach the second and
third level, they will total $544,000
and $846,000, respectively.
The school has laid off one
person, and the first cut has also
halted the search for a new faculty
member. Folkerts said another
person retiring June 30 won’t be
replaced.
“We’ll cut about $20,000 in sup-
plies, faculty travel, any place we
can sort of trim around,” she said.
She said higher level cuts would
cause the school to eliminate more
part-time and full-time faculty and
staff.
Winston Cavin, a lecturer in
the school, said the cuts will hurt
students, as the school has already
made the obvious cuts.
“This isn’t traditional hand-
wringing,” he said in an e-mail. “The
so-called easy cuts are long gone.”
Paul O’Connor, a fixed-term
faculty member, said he and other
adjunct professors know that the
cuts will be hardest on them.

personnel, four fire engines and an
additional ladder truck with four
personnel all responded to the fire.
The first engine at the scene
reported light smoke coming from
the second and third floors. Crews
advanced a hose line to the second
floor landing, and the crew forced
in the door to gain entry.
A NoBEL GIFT
Smithies uses Nobel winnings to fund symposia
by alex hammer
staff writer
As a budding scientist at the University of
Oxford, Oliver Smithies sat in a lecture hall lis-
tening to Linus Pauling, one of only four peo-
ple to have ever won the Nobel Prize twice.
Only an undergraduate at the time,
Smithies took the words of Pauling, who
won the award once for his work on chemi-
cal bonds and quantum physics and again
for his campaign against nuclear weapons
and violence, and eventually won a Nobel
Prize of his own.
Now, with the money he won for his work
in gene modifications in mice using embry-
onic stem cells, Smithies is looking to deliver
the same experience to the latest generation
of students by funding an annual speech by
a fellow Nobel Prize winner.
“It was spectacular,” Smithies said. “I
would like the schools to use the money to
give their students the same feeling I had.”
The first speaker, coming March 8, will be
Tom Steitz, a 2009 Nobel laureate in chem-
istry. In addition to his research, Steitz is
expected to speak on the experiences and
challenges of his life to demonstrate how he
achieved one of the world’s highest honors.
“The big goal for these speeches is
inspiration, motivation, career mentoring
and sharing of their life experiences,” said
Kathleen Caron, assistant dean of research
for the School of Medicine, who is oversee-
ing the series.
Recipients other than UNC include the
University of Oxford, the University of Toronto
and the University of Wisconsin. Smithies
declined to comment on his cash award or the
portion each school would receive.
“I wanted to give money to each of the
universities that have been important in my
life,” said Smithies, who began teaching at
UNC 20 years ago after arriving with his
wife, Nobuyo Maeda. They are both dis-
tinguished professors of pathology and lab
medicine in the School of Medicine.
Each of the schools will use the money
differently, but Smithies said he suggested
they use it to invite speakers to their cam-
puses in hopes of motivating students.
“Our mission is to provide career men-
toring and recognize the post-doctorates on
campus,” said Doug Cyr, faculty adviser for
the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
“We want to give them opportunities to
meet big scientists.”
The Office of Postdoctoral Affairs has
played a large role in the logistical plan-
ning, scheduling, and publicizing of the
symposia.
Smithies’ donation was generous enough
that Caron expects there will be funds to
bring speakers for the next dozen years with-
out any additional fundraising.
But they plan on raising funds regardless,
Caron said.
“We also hope to get corporate and phil-
anthropic sponsorships for the symposia,”
she said.
She said these sponsorships would allow
the Nobel speaker series to become a tradi-
tion at UNC.
In 2012, Thomas Cech, the 1989 Nobel
Prize winner in chemistry, will deliver the
speech, though the speakers will not always
come from a scientific field.
Caron said Nobel laureates of all sorts will
be invited for the symposia in the spirit of the
University’s liberal arts tradition. Without
Smithies’ reputation, Caron said some of the
speakers might have been unattainable.
“A lot of being able to get these speakers
is to Oliver’s credit,” she said.
“They’re doing it for him.”

it died and continued to die. We kind
of hoped that we would finish out
our working days in this job, even
though they are part-time jobs.”
Joe Bob Hester, an associate
professor, said the difficulty comes
when trying to find places to cut.
“We’re one of those most effi-
ciently operating units on this
campus, in terms of the numbers
of students we teach with the fac-
ulty that we have,” he said.
“But because we’re so efficient,
there’s nothing to cut.”
Faculty members are also con-
cerned that more cuts could stop
students from graduating on time.
O’Connor said the school usual-
ly asks him in mid-February what
times would work for scheduling
his courses in the fall — but they
haven’t asked yet.
“No one in fixed-term has heard
anything,” he said, referring to
contracted faculty.
Cutting professors will result in
reduced course sections and offer-
ings, Folkerts said. She added that
seniors this year had difficulty
getting into courses they needed
to graduate.
“We substituted some electives
for them so they could graduate,”
she said.
But the school can only do it for

Will and Pop’s will leave Chapel Hill
by Sarah Frier
editor
Will Pettis thinks he did every-
thing he could to make sure his
food truck was legal — he said he
has his permits, pays his taxes,
meets health code and parks with
permission.
He still doesn’t understand why
police kicked his truck off West
Franklin Street on Wednesday.
And police said they felt the
need to bring along their legal
adviser, Matthew Sullivan, to help
explain the laws when asking Pettis
to leave.
Food trucks aren’t illegal in
Chapel Hill, but regulations are so
complex that few dare to operate
within town limits, Pettis said.
Recent discussions by the Town
Council about changing food truck
regulations have brought to light
how confusing the rules currently
are, said Police Chief Chris Blue.
“We want to make sure that our
officers and business owners are
well-informed,” Blue said.
Pettis, 24, said he started park-
ing his food truck in town three
weeks ago.
Will and Pop’s, which specializes
in hamburgers and fried Twinkies,
is co-owned by Pettis and his father,
Kenny, and caters to a mostly stu-
dent clientele.
He moved when police asked.
“I don’t have enough money to
fight,” he said. “Still, what about it
that I did was illegal?”
After receiving a complaint
about the food truck, police asked
Pettis to move it based on a zoning
ordinance that states that all busi-
ness outside of a closed building
must be screened from the street.
“They said something about how
if I build a big fence here where
nobody can see me from the street,
that’s OK,” Pettis said. “It doesn’t
make any sense.”
Enforcement is complicated
because there are at least five things
to consider in regulating food
trucks — land use management
ordinances, town codes, special
events permitting, state statutes
and the health department, town
spokeswoman Catherine Lazorko
wrote in an e-mail.
That’s why Sullivan was called
in to assist.
“An officer called and asked
for some direction as to what the
ordinance said and I came out and
helped her on that,” Sullivan said.
Pettis said it’s the first time
someone told him he was doing
anything wrong.

Board weighs town deer numbers
Kleinschmidt wants to ‘let this go’
by Jessica Gaylord
staff writer
Although Chapel Hill Town
Council members took no action
on a petition to reduce the area’s
deer population, some say the
issue is still one that needs to be
addressed.
At the council’s Monday meet-
ing, the town sustainability com-
mittee presented town officials
with a petition to develop a policy
to reduce the deer population to
about 10 deer per square mile and
increase cooperation with UNC in
culling the herds.
The council has been wrestling
with the issue for more than a year,
but Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt said
he feels revisiting the issue is not
helpful.
“We’ve already had this conver-
sation at the council,” he said. “The
point of Monday’s meeting was to
kind of let this go.”

A public forum was held last
April to discuss different options
on reducing the deer population.
In response, the town enacted
an educational program with infor-
mation on how to keep deer at bay,
including planting vegetation deer
avoid, building fences and using
repellent.
“My decision is that there really
hasn’t been enough time to justify
any policy changes,” Kleinschmidt
said.
But Mayor Pro Tem Jim Ward,
who supports the petition, said
he thought the issue should have
received more attention.
“Education doesn’t seem like an
effective tool in solving the prob-
lem,” Ward said. “It is a component,
but not a stand-alone solution.”
The petition reused informa-
tion from previous months to bol-
ster its claims, which Ward said
negatively affected its reception
by council members.
He said the petition needed fur-
ther expertise from medical profes-
sionals, botanists and hunters.
“ The financial and health
impacts (of the deer population)
are areas that, in my mind, indicate
that we cannot solve the problem
by ‘educating’ people, whatever
that means,” Ward said.
At April’s public forum, the town
announced it had applied for a spe-
cial five-week urban bowhunting
season through the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission. The
season, which was granted to the
town, allows residents to cull deer
by bow and arrow on their property
past the regular hunting season.
Robert Reda, a local deer hunt-
er, participated in both the regular
deer hunting season from Sept.
11 to Jan. 1 and the special urban
archery season from Jan. 15 to Feb.
19. He, his son and a friend took
nine deer.
“There were almost 19 deer taken
in our neighborhood alone,” Reda

mark kleinschmidt, mayor
said. “You really want to concentrate
on does because that’s the best way
to control the population.”
While Reda said he noticed that
many hunters partook in the hunt-
ing seasons, the overall impact of
the culling is difficult to determine,
and only time will tell whether it is
effective.
“On the last day of the season, I
saw 12 deer at one time in a three
hour period in my neighborhood,”
he said. “It’s going to take some
time for this to really take effect.”

Elon poll
measures
policy
opinions
NC results match
national pattern
by Matt Steyl
staff writer
Many North Carolinians are
divided about legislation being
debated by lawmakers, according
to a recent poll.
A poll conducted by Elon
University surveyed 467 N.C. resi-
dents on issues such as health care,
gay marriage rights, the economy
and other policy initiatives that
have stimulated partisan debate
nationwide.
“When we asked North
Carolinians to identify the num-
ber one issue, it was definitely the
economy,” said Mileah Kromer,
assistant director for the poll.
Kromer said this opinion mir-
rors the sentiment across the
country.
The poll also found N.C. resi-
dents are becoming more support-
ive of legally recognizing same-sex
unions. Kromer said this follows
the national pattern.
Dustin Ingalls, assistant to the
director of Public Policy Polling,
said his organization recently con-
ducted a similar poll about same-
sex unions nationwide.
Ingalls said of those polled, 52
percent favored some sort of civil
recognition.
And 28 percent support full
marriage rights, up 7 percentage
points from March 2009.
But how questions are word-
ed in a poll might influence
the responses, said John Hood,
president and chairman for the
John Locke Foundation, a North
Carolina-based think tank.
When people are polled about
same-sex marriage, they might
not want to appear as intolerant
to gays, Hood said.
Also, respondents who do not
follow the issues might be more
susceptible to influence by posi-
tively or negatively worded ques-
tions, he said.
Hood said the Elon University
Poll surveys a different population
than other polls.
“It’s important to distinguish
between North Carolinians and
North Carolina voters,” he said.
“Likely voters tend to be slightly
better educated, slightly more
affluent and somewhat older than
the average person.”
The poll surveyed respondents
about health care reform.
“People are not as in support
of repeal as the people who sup-
port the repeal want us to think,”
Kromer said.
She said many of the poll’s
respondents were opposed to
requiring Americans without
health care insurance to pay a
fine.
But 78 percent of respondents
agree with establishing a national,
voluntary insurance program for
working adults to purchase insur-
ance to help pay for long-term
care services they might need in
the future.
Kromer said she did not know
what impact the poll might have.
“Our only goal is to shed light on
what the average North Carolinian
thinks,” she said.
Ingalls said there is no evidence
polls have any direct impact or
influence on legislation.

BULL E T I N
PRING BREAK can be a mixed bag. On the
one hand, there’s that posse of friends who
are Bahamas-bound. Then again, there are plenty
of folks stuck in town or at home, wallowing with
roommates or parents. Whether you’re voyaging
or wanderlusting, Dive’s got some tips on how
to maximize your break, be it the best traveling
records or easy day-trip or weekend destinations.
So don’t be blue if there are no exotic beaches in
your future. Even Chapel Hill can feel tropical when
there aren’t midterms clouding your outlook.
IDEAS
Your roommate’s in Mexico, your best friend’s in
Florida and you’re here, spending your vacation mop-
ing on the lawn at Weaver Street Market. Truthfully,
there’s no excuse for this behavior — a week of open
class-free days are the prime opportunity for throw-
ing the ultimate rager. Even if the pool of friends has
diminished due to travel or trips home, you can still
whip up something epically un-academic. Here are
Dive’s suggestions for how to plan and spend the crazi-
est, laziest, booziest, most inventive break on record.
2.
Staying at home can be a thoroughly enjoy-
able, if subpar, break experience. So too are
the canonical B-movies which entertain as much as
they falter. Grab your most ironic friends and rifle
through the trash can of cinema for all it has to offer.
In the low-budget spirit of this genre, keep marathon
costs down with cheap beverages and the lowest possi-
ble rental prices. Some classic viewing choices include,
“Plan 9 From Outer Space,” “The Room,” “Troll 2” and
“Attack of the Crab Monsters.” — Rocco Giamatteo
4.
Dig that swimsuit out of the depths of your
drawer and grab a beach towel — let’s hit the
beach, Carrboro-style. And no, that’s not an oxymoron.
The Weaver Street lawn is as sunny and populous as
any stretch of sand near Myrtle Beach, albeit with less
neon. If that’s not close enough to the water, head a few
miles out of town to Jordan Lake, where you can soak
up some rays on the sand and then paddle around in
the murky brown waves. It’s no Wilmington, but it’ll
do. — Linnie Greene

If “The Social Network” taught us anything,
it’s that you can do great things while sip-
ping on a few brews alone and playing on your laptop

Photoshopping to put yourself in the images of cross-
continental wonders and global protests alike, you’ll be
on your way to having stories to one-up everyone else’s

Tight on cash? Head to the Red Oak Brewery
down I-40 for a tour. It only costs $5! Then
check out the Fifth Season Gardening Company in
Carrboro and head to their Beer Cave, where you can
get a tutorial on brewing from the staff. When you’re
ready to get your drink on, head to the grocery and
stock up on what you can afford. If all of your friends
peaced out and you can’t share the festivities, rent “Beer

RECORDS
One of the best parts about Spring Break is hitting
the road and putting some miles between you and
that last midterm, but sometimes the trek from point
A to point B can get a little lengthy. Here are Dive’s
recommendations of the best road-warrior records.
FUTURE WEATHER
2010
The War on Drugs’ Future
Weather takes the road trip
album cake because it encom-
passes the feeling of open space.
By the album’s second track,
“Baby Missiles,” the record gains
a steady pulse, a driving (no pun
intended) momentum that veers
from hazy folk to sunny pop without blinking an eye.
Part of the album’s appeal is its heterogeneity — you
won’t get bored, but there’s still a sense of cohesion, as
if the record has its own destination in mind. Throw
this sucker on when your co-pilot starts texting and
staring out the window and let yourself get enveloped
in the lush folk arrangements. — Linnie Greene
CHILD PRODIGY
1979
One-half country, one-half Celtic
and one-half comedian, Mike
Cross is the very best guitar-
picking, fiddle-pulling University
alumni you’ve never heard of.
“Child Prodigy” is a quintes-
sential road trip album for the
pensive hick. Though the music
rides mostly on a couple of guitars, Cross still gets
miles out of the effort. He sums it all up on the heart-
felt guitar-sliding track “Big City Rambling,” when he
sings “I’m gonna leave Atlanta and I will not stop/’Til
I get to Carolina and the friends I got.” Whether you’re
outward bound or bound for a homecoming, these are
songs to drive by. — Jonathan Pattishall
THE LIFE PURSUIT
2006
You need something to pick you
up and keep you going for those
long road-bound hours to the
coast or the mountains, and not
just any record will do. Belle &
Sebastian are masters of jan-
gly, feel good rock, and The Life
Pursuit has just what you seek.
The Life Pursuit’s lyrics are thoughtful but unburden-
ing and its music catchy but substantive. Head bobbing,
foot tapping tunes such like “We Are the Sleepyheads”
and “The Blues Are Still Blue” are irresistible and will
save you from highway hypnosis. Just picture yourself
cruising down 40 with the windows down, singing in
joyful chorus with your friends. — Nina Rajagopalan
IN GHOST COLORS
2008
Cut Copy’s In Ghost Colors has
the uptempo beats to keep you
from falling asleep at the wheel.
The album is a shimmering mass
of electro-pop that energizes
from the first track. The band
specializes in stadium-sized epics
with choruses that demand to be
belted out with your fellow roadtrippers. Just try to
keep your hands on the wheel or your butt completely
in your seat as your jam out to the anthemic “Hearts on
Fire” or the slow-burning “Lights & Music.” You can’t
dance well in the confined space of the driver’s seat,
but if you’ve got Cut Copy playing, it won’t be for lack
of trying. — Anna Norris

Q&A: THE FORMS’ ALEX TWEEN

It’s hard to describe The Forms.
Just look at the band’s reviews —
critics’ descriptions range from
math rock to post-hardcore.
This week, vocalist and guitarist
Alex Tween chatted with Diversions
Editor Linnie Greene about genres,
programming on the road and
recording a baby grand piano from
100 yards away.
Diversions: You recorded
your first two records with Steve
Albini — how was that?
Alex Tween: We actually
worked with him on our first two
records at his studio out in Chicago.
I guess at first we thought that we
would be encountering some sort
of weird, intimidating record pro-
ducer kind of guy. By that time he’d
already worked for Nirvana and
those bands, but in five minutes
we realized that he was a totally
normal guy and was really nice and
easy to work with.
Dive: Have you noticed any
changes in your sound on the
Derealization EP?
AT: It’s changed quite a bit.
I think originally we were much
more guitar-oriented, math-y even,
and since then we’ve kind of moved
in a new direction, much more
towards electronic sounds and key-
boards and things like that. That’s
especially what we’re like live now,
much more electronic. The EP that
we’ve just finished is somewhere in
the middle of the rock band that we
used to be and the electronic band
that we are now.
Dive: How has working
with Daniel Hart impacted your
music?
AT: Well Daniel hasn’t played
live with us, but he played on the
recording. Daniel is incredible. We

Album from the Vaults:
Nick Drake, Five Leaves Left: Selected
songs of Nick Drake’s have made it
big — via things like car commer-
cials, for example — but his albums
are often ignored as a whole. Enter
this 1969 gem, a study in atmo-
spheric guitars, whisper-soft vocals
and effective songwriting. It’s hard
not to be smitten with this set of
songs.
Movie from the Vaults:
“How to Marry a Millionaire”: Lots
of folks are familiar with the senti-
ment that diamonds are a girl’s best
friend, but far too few are fans of this combination, and a refreshing
1953 classic. Marilyn Monroe, Lauren
Bacall and Betty Grable prove to be a
dynamic trio as they search for sugar
daddies and — what a novel idea! — Americans in France
find love in the process. Refreshing,
really, even if it isn’t so inventive.

Diversions
‘The Others’ brings diversity to Durham
by JOSEPH CHAPMAN
ASSISTANT DIVERSIONS EDITOR
Since the days of Superchunk
and Archers of Loaf, indie rock has
been the dominant sound coming
out of the Triangle.
Rock’s growing ubiquity in an
area with a rich history in jazz and
soul music never sat well with visu-
al artist King Kenny.
“On the performance stages, if
you look at the bills throughout
the Triangle, you’re going to get
mostly the same type of thing — a
lot of indie rock,” Kenny said. “That
is pretty much what they’re offer-
ing.” will have to go back to Japan. It’s
Kenny, a New York City resident
and avid supporter of the Triangle’s
music community, wanted to host
an event to give bands that might
get overlooked exposure while rais-
ing money for charity.
“I wanted to get more minori-
ties and women and alternative
lifestyles on the stage,” Kenny said.
“I just gave Motorco a call and they
seemed pretty intrigued with the
idea and they went with it.”
With the approval of Durham’s
Motorco Music Hall, Kenny creat-
ed “The Others,” a concert promot-
ing diversity through its bill and its
beneficiaries.
In booking the event, Durham
J-pop band Fujiyama Roll was
a perfect match for presenting a
more wide-ranging lineup.
“Mr. King invited us because
we are all foreigners,” lead vocal-
ist Junko Berglund said, “And he
wanted a diverse show for women
and minority people.”
After forming the band in 2005,
Berglund says that the band has

the wool.”
Carrboro, which took on its
name in 1914, remained an indus-
trial town until the 1960s when
the mills began to close, leaving
an empty vacuum for new busi-
nesses to fill.
At this time, Otto said its meta-
morphosis into a progressive, cul-
tural town began.
Following UNC’s decision to
allow off-campus housing in the
late 1960s, Otto said students
began flocking to Carrboro, shift-
ing the town’s demographic from
one filled with traditional, indus-
trial families to one of progressive
students.
Today, the town strives to
incorporate environmentally
friendly practices into all of its
projects.
“Carrboro is definitely a leader in
the sustainable cities movement,”
said Mayor Mark Chilton.
“Seeing things such as the
Farmers’ Market and alternative
transportation, these not only sus-
tain a healthy planet, but healthy
lifestyles in general.”
In 2000, the town adopt-
ed a plan for the future called
Vision2020, which called for an
adherence to several traditional
town ideals including the arts,
diversity and alternative modes of
transportation.
Spalt, who helped create
Vision2020 along with more than
100 residents, said he thinks the
town has developed along the
plan’s guidelines.
“Our emphasis on local busi-
nesses downtown has continued
and is one of the reasons the town
is still flourishing,” he said.
But Carrboro’s recent history
hasn’t been without hardship.
Chilton said the financial crisis
has put many of the town’s projects
on hold, like the 300 East Main
Street complex.

The search warrant is for docu-

American bombardment kills civilian Afghan children
KABUL, Afghanistan (MCT) —
An angry new dispute over civilian
casualties erupted Wednesday,
with Afghan officials asserting that
nine children gathering firewood
on a mountainside were killed by
an American bombardment in a
troubled eastern province. A tenth
child was reported wounded.

do so much, Blue said.
“Folks really need to lock their
doors,” he said. “They do not need
to be shy at all about calling 911.”
Seniors Laura Cathey and Leslie
Fincher, who live in an apartment
on Church Street, said the break-
ins have reminded them they need
to make sure their doors and win-
dows are locked at night.
“I feel like you can just get
caught up on being centered on
campus in this kind of bubble, and
you don’t really think about those
things,” Cathey said. “Sometimes
we don’t dead bolt our door, so we
make sure to think about that a
little more.”
The University issued a mass
e-mail Wednesday night remind-
ing students of safety precautions
and urging them to report any sus-

a Maryland father whose son died
in Iraq. Phelps and his family pick-
eted at Matthew Snyder’s funeral
carrying signs that read, “Thank
God for Dead Soldiers” and “God
Hates Fags.”
A jury awarded the father $11
million in damages on the grounds
that he suffered emotional distress,
but the Supreme Court said that
verdict could not stand. The case
of Snyder v. Phelps became a major
test of the limits of free speech.
Lawyers for the Snyder family
said the lawsuit should be upheld
on the grounds that the picketing
was a targeted assault on a private
memorial service.
an outpost in the Dara-i-Pech
district of Kunar province was hit
by rocket fire, presumably from
insurgents, which injured a local
contractor. The base’s defenders
responded with “indirect and aerial
fire,” the statement said. Indirect
fire usually describes the use of
field artillery.

Fleisher to play at Memorial cooper journalism

Pianist a±icted
with dystonia
by katelyn trela
assistant arts editor
For a pianist, hands are the key
to success.
At the age of 36, Leon Fleisher
— regarded at 16 as one of the
most gifted pianists of his genera-
tion — lost that key.
Fleisher, who lacks control of
his right hand, is performing a
program of classical pieces tonight
at Memorial Hall.
“He is the stuff of legends,” said
Sean McKeithan, director of com-
munications and marketing for
Carolina Performing Arts.
“He’s one of the brightest stars
of piano and of classical music,

Fleisher was set to perform

Cooper said tuition issues will
also be a major issue she will tack-
le. The Board of Trustees passed a
measure to increase tuition by 6.5
percent earlier this year. She said
she has already sat in on two meet-
ings on the issue, but she has yet to
speak to members of the board.
“At the end of the day, the con-

that does not give me any reason
to give up on it. I’m learning what
we can do on campus.”

Trained in the German school
of Beethoven and Mozart by Artur
Schnabel, Fleisher first performed
publicly at 4 years old.
By 16, he had accompanied the
New York Philharmonic and, dur-
ing the next two decades, came to
be known as the most talented pia-
nist of the time.
In 1965, after getting stitches in
his right thumb, his control of his
right hand began to disintegrate.
Fleisher underwent surgery in
1982 which temporarily relieved
his symptoms, but he was later
diagnosed with focal dystonia — a
neurological condition that affects
specific muscles.
Dr. Heather Walker, an assistant
professor in UNC’s department of
physical medicine and rehabilita-
tion, said dystonia makes the brain

who have suffered strokes.

Rather, by injecting small doses
into the affected area at regular
intervals, the overactive muscle and
all those muscles fighting against it
can be relaxed, allowing for normal
movement.
In 1995, Fleisher played his first
public concert in nearly 30 years
using both hands.
Tonight’s performance will fea-
ture six pieces from the likes of
Bach, Brahms and Schubert.
Fleisher will play some of his
famed left-hand alterations, which
transform compositions originally
meant for two able hands.
He and his wife, concert pianist
Katherine Jacobson-Fleisher, will
play the two finale songs together
— called “for Piano Four-Hands.”
Fleisher, a professor at The
Peabody Institute of the Johns
Hopkins University, has become
even more of an icon for music stu-
dents because of his struggles.

I
t’s like clockwork. Every day
at noon I head to the Bottom
of Lenoir, grab some ran-
dom-flavored Naked Juice and
head to the checkout line.
As usual, I’m unprepared and
have to grab my wallet from
some inconvenient compartment
of my bookbag, but Ms. Kathy
Gomez, the cashier I go to, sim-
ply sits there and waits for me to
pull myself together.
She never tells me to hurry up
or to step aside. She just gives me
the extra seconds I need, compli-
ments me on my excellent choice
in juice, and sends me one my
way.
After a few months of this
daily routine, I think it’s accept-
able to say that every day I make
this trip I get more excited to say
hello to this wonderful woman.
And no doubt that includes
giving a quick smile to the other
men and women who have dedi-
cated hours each day to make
sure we can all grab a Chick-fil-A
sandwich and still get to class on
time.
While I may be privy to doing
such things, history doesn’t
always give credit where credit
is due. At least as early as 1968,
facility employees on campus
have been down-trodden with
unfair wages and mistreatment
by managers.
When the campus adminis-
tration refused to acknowledge
these concerns, students began
to take the matter into their own
hands.
They staged sit-ins, handed
out flyers and succeeded in shut-
ting down Lenoir altogether.
And whether this was done out
of respect, social justice or just
because they cared, students can
make a lot of difference for cam-
pus employees.
And while the protests may
have stopped and the news about
workers’ wages is out of the pages
of local newspapers, how many
of us have actually had a con-
versation with an employee on
campus?
On the rare occasions I get
a swipe into Rams Head, I’m
always excited to get to talk to
the cashier whose hilarity is
unprecedented. And many a
time I’ve slid away from eating
with friends to talk to her about
some goofy thing I probably did
that day or some item I’ve inevi-
tably lost somewhere near the
sweet tea.
Maybe it’s asking too much to
know at least one member of the
dining staff by name, but then
that only further justifies why I
think more time should be taken
out to get to know these wonder-
ful men and women.
Undoubtedly many of us see
these people every day we swipe
into a dining hall. And over the
course of our four years here, it
only makes sense to give a “Hey
how are you?” or a “Hi, nice to
see you today!”
Why wouldn’t you revere the
man or woman who makes sure
we get fed every day? If history has
given us any example, students
and staff do work together to make
Lenoir work and have been doing
so for more than 42 years.
Maybe it’s the antioxidants in
my Blueberry Machine juice talk-
ing, but good service should heed
good compliment. Any time I’m
in need of a good juice smoothie,
I head to Lenoir and inevitably
walk towards Ms. Gomez.
She’s always there to ring me
up and always willing to wait for
me to find that pesky wallet.
And I wouldn’t have it any
other way.

meeting at Elizabeth City State
University confirms that ASG
is at its most useless when it is
most needed.
ASG only needs 35 out of 68
active delegates to show up in
order to meet quorum. That’s
one more than half.
President Atul Bhula said
that distance and campus stu-
dent elections had the most
influence on low attendance
rates and that he had commu-
nicated privately with many of
the delegates.
We don’t want excuses from
ASG. We want action. It’s no
mystery that students some-
times have to travel far to meet.
Whether or not it’s a good
model is irrelevant — delegates
signed on to it.
Former ASG president Greg
Doucette said that “getting
quorum usually isn’t a prob-
intent of Congress.
It was the reason the elec-
tions board said Ian Lee —
scandalously — was allowed to
remain student body secretary
and still run for student body
president.
So props to Congress mem-
ber Evan Ross for producing
an even clearer version of the
section that might actually be
impervious to ineptitude by the
BOE.
The bill passed out of the
rules and judiciary committee
on Tuesday. There’s absolutely
no reason why the full Congress
should not pass it when it con-
venes again.
The bill still contains the lit-
any of offices in student govern-
ment that are prohibited from
participating in a campaign or
making a public endorsement.
It’s hard to get clearer than a
lettered list.

lem if folks feel like the group is
doing something.” ASG’s failure
to meet quorum is a sign that
they aren’t doing much to fight
for the students right now.
ASG delegates need to take
their jobs more seriously and,
at the very least, show up for
meetings. We would like to
see that ASG is actually being
effective in its advocacy efforts,
and making quorum would be
a good start.
Currently there are no
accountability measures in
place. ASG receives student
funding whether or not the
organization actually does any-
thing of value.
If ASG continues to demon-
strate its ineffectiveness, then
it might be time to consider
measures to make the organi-
zation more accountable to the
students who fund it.
Entirely stricken is a confus-
ing and seemingly contradic-
tory section that was a cause
of concern.
And reasonable exceptions
to the resignation requirement
are made for certain officers
in Congress who are running
for other elected positions, so
long as those positions are also
within Congress.
It’s worth addressing that
some committee members
felt that the restriction on
making a public endorsement
infringed on officers’ rights to
free speech.
But it’s a restriction that
ensures fairness and that
student government officers
impose on themselves by
accepting their position.
Student government may be
seizing low-hanging fruit, but
it’s a little reminder that it can,
and does, work for us.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Ticket and seating system
should prefer students
TO THE EDITOR:
One of the things I was most
excited about when I came to
UNC was basketball. When the
season started, imagine my sur-
prise when I looked around at
the Dean Dome and saw how the
majority of the seats were reserved
for alumni who don’t stand and
cheer or chant the fight songs.
When UNC says that they have
a problem filling seats, they imme-
diately look at students as a liabil-
ity. Their first thought is not, “How
can we encourage more students
to attend these games?” but rather,
“How can we ensure a profit on
the seats in question?” They want
to make more tickets available to
alumni and are trying to reduce
the student ticket count.
Instead of students, they’d
rather the tickets go to middle-
aged businessmen and women
who’ll sit there casually as we
face Duke. It’s the atmosphere
created by students, not alum-
ni, that gives our team the best
advantage. To think that UNC,
the premiere college basketball
program in the nation, would
rather make a profit than pro-
vide students with tickets is a
thought that runs counter to the
very foundation of our school.

Moran’s column advocates
irresponsible behavior
TO THE EDITOR:
In looking ahead to spring
break, columnist Matt Moran
exhorts us to loosen the binds
on our inner miscreant, rightly
highlighting the power of new
experiences to edify and broad-
en our sense of direction (“Make
the break a time to be naughty,”
March 1). One must wonder,
however, if Moran’s goals and
means are truly consistent.
He writes, “Sometimes step-
ping outside the well-worn path
leads to your discovering a wholly
new direction for yourself.” How
can one discover a new direction
for his or her life when one’s very
faculties of discovery are, for
example, drowning in drunken-
ness? The pursuits Moran sug-
gests as leading to better insight
are actually those obscuring self-
discovery.
More importantly, these “mis-
doings” tend to have the “serious
consequences” that Moran gloss-
es over, particularly for women.
According to the 2007 Campus
Sexual Assault Study, 89 percent
of female sexual assault victims
reported consuming alcohol
before the assault. Moreover, a
2006 book by UCLA psychia-
trist Miriam Grossman identifies
Moran’s suggested activities —
drinking to oblivion, drugging,
one-night sex — as common
denominators of the majority of
students appearing at campus
mental health clinics.
It seems that Moran is quite
right about the followers of his
naughty program, “They’re the
ones that are talked about, the
ones with great stories to tell.”
Those stories, however, are told
not to friends, but more often to
a psychiatrist.

anyone try to explain the behav-
ior of kamikaze pilots in World
War II, for example, without cit-
ing prevailing attitudes toward
the emperor and other aspects
of Japanese culture?”
First, there were a small but
telling number of ethnically
Korean kamikaze pilots whose
homeland was under brutal
Japanese rule. They shared nei-
ther respect for the emperor nor
Japanese culture. Second, the
Japanese remained culturally
Japanese and revered the emper-
or throughout the war, yet Japan
did not take to kamikaze attacks
until late 1944. Clearly, emperor
worship and other cultural con-
stants were not immediate causes
of the change in Japanese behav-
ior. Third, most kamikaze attacks
took place in naval battles, where
American industrial might, and
the Japanese lack thereof, was
particularly decisive.
Indeed, what led to Japan’s
wholesale adoption of kamikaze
tactics was not any allegedly
Japanese cultural aspect; it was
the turning tide of the war. As
long as the war looked winnable,
there was no need to resort to
suicide attacks. Desperate times
called for desperate measures.

Students should be trusted
to uphold the Honor Code
TO THE EDITOR:
Signing the Honor Code is
a binding act in which an indi-
vidual pledges, on their honor,
that they comply with what it
states. This is done on pain of
great punishment; one can face
expulsion for grievous violations
of the Honor Code. Ought not
this act be meaningful?
Honor.unc.edu declares “that
all members of our commu-
nity should be responsible for
upholding the values that have
been agreed upon by the com-
munity.” Despite such rhetoric,
the majority of test administra-
tors feel compelled to methodi-
cally prowl lecture halls.
Were the Honor Code not
compulsory, I would possess
no objection. A teacher ought
to take such measures to gauge
honesty if no pledge is given.
These measures, however, are
deeply insulting when honor is
invoked. Presently, whenever a
student is inspected for cheat-
ing, they are named liar.
The frequency with which
teachers require the Honor Code
be signed and then methodically
seek out dishonesty demonstrates
that, as a whole, they place no
value in the honor of students. If
our honor is without value, then
why request it? If I am not trust-
ed to listen to Nirvana instead of
a lecture during exams, then do
not require a meaningless gesture
which receives neither credibility
nor authority.
